(00:53):
the NCAA Tournament is coming gone and uh that's bet
that's a pretty apropro way to describe it. The day
is coming gone.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, gratulations done, a job done done.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, we'll give you a couple of big previews for
tomorrow because it's two huge games. I'd be look, you
have the second round of the turn, but there's two
games that are really big musty events. We'll preview them
coming up later on this hour. But I mean outside
of today, Yeah, you had a twelve five upset, but okay,
you know Memphis losing in Colorado stated, it's like, okay, yeah,
(01:25):
it's not like we watched Michigan, like they almost lost
last night to UCSD. It kind of a generic day,
Like I think the big highlight was watching Cooper Flag
and after the first two minutes of the Duke game
where you saw him set up an alley oop and
then go in for a layup and one, it was okay,
Cooper Flag is fine, Duke's gonna win by fifty, all right,
(01:47):
nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Nothing to see here, Go check out one of the
other games and move on.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And then some of those were great first halfs.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Like if you stop them at halftime and just got
yourself in the mentality of the game is ending in
two and a half minutes. Boy, they were thrillers. And
then once the second half started, yeah, not so much. Yeah,
I mean, Yukon's game was fun with all it was.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It was close for a while. I know you were rooting.
You wanted Danny Hurley out of the Look, look, I
have to wait another day for that to happen.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
But you know it all, you almost had it, but
it kept Caravan alive. So I mean that that's good friend.
And the shows, I mean we looked for him. I
just thought them losing would be better theater and a
better story for.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Us on a Friday night.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Otherwise, we're talking about Aaron Rodgers meeting with all the
Steelers people, talking about James Wentzt.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
To the Giants and wishing and hoping.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
That there were more storylines to go Hurley losing would
have given us that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Now look, now you mentioned you mentioned Rodgers. Right, We'll
get to George Forman coming up in a couple of seconds.
But here here's where I'm at with Aaron Rodgers and
the Steelers. Right, finally, they were meeting today and for
the first time when we had heard that, wait a bit,
there was a contract offer out there for Aaron Rodgers. Meanwhile,
today was their first meeting and no deal is imminent.
Well wait a minute, why the Remember Aaron Rodgers needs
(03:07):
to control the narrative. He needs to make it look
like he's in charge. Right, this is this is what
Rogers and Russell Wilson are trying to do. To try
to make sure, try to put it out there that
they're still sought after quarterbacks when really they're not. Hey, Rogers,
I'm gonna wait because all these teams now are stuck
(03:28):
because it's not a great quarterback crop, and free agency
not a great quarterback crop. In the early part of
the draft. It's more developmental quarterback draft. So I'm trying
to seize the storyline here. It's out there, Oh, Aaron
rodg Because if Aaron Rodgers really had a big why
is he saying no at this point? He would be
failing upward to go to the Steelers. Let's see, I
had a bad first half of the year last year.
(03:49):
I had a good second half of the year. We
closed well with good weapons. I still finish in the
top ten in touchdowns and yards, and I can go
to a better team with a better head coach and
more talent, and the team that's gonna be at least
five hundred or more that makes the playoffs every year.
He's really waiting to sign that contract. Really, he's really waiting.
Come on, we know this is gonna happen, right, Just
(04:09):
sign the contract over, Just sign I don't know what
purpose Aaron Rodgers is serving. Nobody else is going to
get you. You don't want to go to the Giants.
They already sign their guy. We'll have more on them
in a little bit. We know what's gonna happen, right,
we don't need to wait any further. We don't just
go do it. Or maybe the Steelers wind up getting
little cold feet and saying, you know what, we can't
wait for you anymore. We're gonna trade for Kirk Cousins,
(04:31):
and we're gonna figure out the money, and Atlanta's gonna
pay for everything, and we're gonna get kirk Cousins, Like, well,
what are you waiting for? Like, we know this is
gonna happen. We know Rogers is gonna play for the Steelers.
Why not sign it? I don't understand what we're waiting for.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
See, this is where it's fun, because you bring up
Captain Kirk Cousins. So I give you the which would
you rather? Would you rather have the guy in Rogers
who goes on Pat McAfee, who does his ayahuasca, retreats darkness, retreats,
wanders the earth like Caine and Kung Fu, or a
guy like Kirk Cousins who may or may not have
(05:04):
lied about his health.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And still tries to portray the good guy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
There you go, that's a that's not a great choice,
secret option. See it it's not you get it is.
It is what we have, right, It's not a great choice.
But I'm not excited about that.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Now in the cage and we put Russell Wilson in there.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
We got all the veterans.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'm in scrambling it up.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Come on, I'm not saying I like the choice, because clearly,
what have I told you? Look, the Steelers, you can't
keep shopping and the clear it's been for quarterbacks. But
this is what we're doing. Uh, you can't. But this
is what's left. And you don't have a quarterback now,
So what are we waiting for? Really? What's Aaron Rodgers
waiting for? What? I mean? This is where I get
to a point where okay, enough is enough already, Right,
(05:50):
I'm not to the one of those you know, you know,
all the guys from earlier in the week. We have
a decision. But now it's like, okay, you visited, you
know where things are going. Russell Wilson and is not
going back to the Giants, right, they signed Jameis Winston today,
he's not going back to the steel We know what's
gonna happen, right, So what what I mean are you
waiting for? Are you gonna announce it on Pat McAfee show.
Are you gonna come out and say my intention is
(06:11):
to play quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year? Hoping
you're catching lightning in a bottle like what happened with
the Jets two years ago. What anyway, it's not gonna happen.
You don't have to go to that moment again. You
don't get another moment to say I'm taking my talents
to South Beach. You just just we know what's coming.
So just just just say yes and do it, and
then we can go on talking about the draft for
the next five and a half weeks. Let's just do
(06:33):
it that way.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So if he does sign, or when he does sign
with Pittsburgh, does he go to that museum where they've
got all the Fred Rogers stuff and he puts on
a sweater and some gym shoes.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Just having neighbor Hi, Mike Tomlin, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Paddy, and I decided to save that trip for next time.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
He puts on he puts on a Steeler's card again sweater,
he comes in and sits down. Here you go works,
Oh man, I mean, really, what are we waiting for it?
Let's just do it right there. There's no reason why
we're waiting for it right.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Now either because he wants to be in the news
cycle for another couple of days.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Man. I mean really, I'm wondering if we're gonna get
it on McAfee on Tuesday, Like that's really what I'm
waiting for. Like, that's the only thing I can think about.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Is a college college kid. Right, here's my hats.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I got the Steelers because the Giants, I guess, aren't
necessarily done. I mean, so you could still have the Giants. Look,
you can always make up another team. Put the Vikings
in there for fun, because they even though they claim
they were done. Remember Brett Farv didn't show up till
August eighteenth, when he showed up as a member of
the Vikings all those years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So yeah, let's have it like it's a commitment day.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Like, oh, I like that. I thought that could work, okay,
And I mean maybe he's being friendly with McAfee because
you know, did you see the story this week. Hey,
no networks are going crazy to sign Aaron Rodgers to
talk about football, so he's gonna have to find his
own way in to the media to do, which I
always said he would do his own podcast or do
his own TV show. That's some kind of you know,
(08:07):
weird stuff where it's part football and part ayahuasca and
part aliens. And you know, it's gonna take some kind
of off the beaten path entity to do it. It's
not gonna be a big network, but maybe this is
what he's saying. Hey, I do it on Pat, and
Pat's gonna be good to me when I retire, and
then I'll be on Patch show.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I did get a couple of notices that you have
offers for a couple of the true TV or not
TV entries and they come from a rod Okay, so
it might be part of his extraterrestrial segments on his show.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Hey, look, it took me all a like, you know,
like six minutes to come up with some of these
true TV or not TV show titles, so I'm okay
with selling them really cheap.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I would have been really you know, acting as your
advisor here. I would have said, you know, you did
a lot of brainstorming to come up with them.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I mean it's otherwise.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It just seems like anybody can throw a couple of
words together and have a TV pitch.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
No, but I mean dors Mash and grab Hub. I
mean that's like a that's an unbelievable title right now.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Ghost Lusters is also good too. Ghost Lusters is good.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I'm gonna look it up on my own computer.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But Dorsmash and grab Hub. I mean that's perfect, right,
that's that's fantastic, and the and I got that that See,
that's the thing is, that's how you come up with shows. Now,
you don't come up with ideas for shows, come up
with titles and then and then the when you look
at the title, go oh, okay, this is this is what
the show should be. That's a better way to do it.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So we'll have to see if who owns the rights now,
But you can go back to nineteen ninety for ghost Lusters.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh yeah, statute of limitations on that easy, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Easy guy named Bruce seven was the director.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Bruce seven, okay, and then George Stands okay. So look
earlier tonight we had the big breaking story. We lost
an absolute legend in George Foreman, who passed away at
the age of seventy six, and the life he has
had as a boxer, as a heavyweight champion, as a
grill master, as a someone who went from one successful
(10:06):
career to the next and stayed relevant for over forty years.
There's very few people who've ever walked this earth like
George Foreman, subject to some of the big biggest documentary
movies of all time. You can keep going about George
Foreman's plaudits and his achievements and you would run out
and we were on the air for four hours. But
the one that I really want people to understand, you know,
(10:29):
going in this tonight, is that we talked a lot
about Tom Brady, who had forty five years old, wins
the Super Bowl and it's like, oh wow, he was
gonna play and then you know, walked away, Right, I'm done.
One more year. Couldn't do it? Right? That was as
a great accomplishment of forty five. Lebron James, who was
still playing at this high level at the age of
forty is insanely good. Now could he play five more years? Probably?
(10:50):
Like I mean, Lebron's not gonna play when he's just
like a fourteen point a game guy. But could he
play at a really high level for the next four
or five years? Looks like him. Could he move to
the five and that's where he finishes his career? Absolutely
like Lebron could do that. But you got to see
George Foreman, who was incredibly successful in the seventies as
a boxer and then retired, retired for ten years, ten
(11:14):
of his peak years as a boxer, comes back when
he's thirty eight years old, fights Evander Holyfield, fights Tommy Morrison.
Doesn't win these fights, but doesn't get knocked out, loses
decision in both of these stays fighting, wins a lot
of fights, and then at the age of forty five,
he beats Michael Moore, who is twenty six years old,
(11:35):
to win the heavyweight title at forty five years old.
And now you compare that to what Brady did, what
Lebron is doing. You go, Okay, why is what George
Foreman did like what Brady did? Times ten. Boxing is
a sport that relies on quickness and reflexes and strength,
all things that diminish greatly from the age of twenty
(11:59):
five to twenty the age of forty five. Yes, oh
I know that. But think about in boxing when it's
about hitting the other person, and it's about strategy, and
it's about the mental acuity to be able to know
when to move and have those big synapses fire as
quickly as you can to avoid punches. There's a reason
why at the age of forty five, people are just
(12:19):
kind of holding on and he gets up and wins
the heavyweight championship at the age of forty five. When
you think about the inherent physical advantage that another boxer
like of Michael Moore or someone who is fifteen twenty
years younger, that they have, right, it's one thing that say, Okay,
Brady's forty five, he's playing against a bunch of other
twenty five year olds. Yeah, well, you also have twenty
(12:39):
five year olds protecting him. He's got twenty five year
old guys running routes. He's got twenty five year old
guys and the ball off to It's not about being fast,
it's not about being able to avoid hits. It's about
Brady being able to be smart and nowhere to go
With the football, it's a team game. There's a lot
of more there's a lot more things that you have
to take into account for George Foreman and the ring
(13:00):
against the guy who's twenty years old. You be forty
five years old and get into a fight against someone
who's twenty five, who is in the state, who is
built just like you are, except they're twenty years younger
and just as big. You know, win that fight. No
you're not. And yet he wins the heavyweight championship of
the world. You see what guys do in their forties.
This is not nearly being taken into account as much
(13:21):
as it should. A is one of the greatest physical
achievements of all time. Forty five and he's the heavyweight
champion of the world.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Look man, he was a country strong out of Marshall, Texas,
which is about one hundred and fifty miles away from Dallas,
and he according to the stats, he had a seventy
eight inch reach. The other is go back to the
beginning of his career when he wins at the Olympics.
He fought a guy that at that point was twenty
nine years old and had two hundred and twenty fights
(13:48):
in his career.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
For his career seventy six and five.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Man seventy said, that's like Saban's record at Alabama. He's
seventy six and Thed's sixty eight nine outs. Man, I
mean that was back when guys fought a ton. When
I mean you got into the seventies eights, when guys
would fight like like two or three times a year,
Tyson would fight every couple of weeks because you would
beat people so badly in the first round and not
take a punch like that was some kind of era. Man,
(14:17):
what a legend. George Foreman passed away at the age
of seventy six. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the
tire rack dot Com Studios. Coming up next, Hey, in
honor of George Foreman and to George Foreman, Grill, do
we have a great food story coming your way. Plus

Mike Harmon, Wellbo liveth Tirec dot Com Studios. There'll be
a Supernatural reunion on the final season of The Boys,
Misha Collins and Jared Patalleki's gonna be on with Jensen Ackles.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Uh be just like super sixteen years of Supernaturals coming
to season five of The Boys. Okay, I'm just saying,
carry out my wayward son. It's like synonymous with Supernatural.
Oh okay, yeah, I mean the show was on show
was on for sixteen years.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Man, somehow I avoided it the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I avoided it till my daughter said, I want to
binge Supernatural really so like, and I felt like we
binged it for like a year. Like it's all sixteen
all sixteen seasons of every episode. Here they are vampire hunters,
and here comes a Battie of the Week and they
kill this person. But then they introduced Death and all
these other characters, and I'm like, how do you get
(15:58):
sixteen years a plot spoiler? They don't really have sixteen
years of plotlines, but they did sixteen years of show.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Hey if they were able to keep getting renewed. They
did the job. You don't have to love it. It
was a CW.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
What else it's It's like, it's like Impractical Jokers on
True TV, Like what else are you gonna put off?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well, you hate those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'm just saying the show is on like like twenty
out of twenty four hours a day. Like we got
a couple of NCAA games and then hey, im Practical Jokers.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, but if you ever really chronicled how many episodes
they truly are, this could be like one of those
channels that feed you the same three seasons of Kitchen
Nightmares or whatever over and over again. Okay, hang on,
ar Ramsey's looking really young here.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Oh wait uh there are two hundred and sixty one
episodes of Practical Chokes. Okay, so I don't think there
were that many episodes of MASH and that show is
on forever in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Again, Mike, I can't wait to find out what they
actually did to Jason.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It's just it's just, you know, you know, people show hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It can't be built around one show man. You can't.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You can't say sounds jealous. I'm not jealous here.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm not jealous him out.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
We got five years to catch Supernatural.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Come on, you had a longer time than not to
catch super No.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
No, no, no, for you and me on air, we
need five more years.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
A ball that Noah Cindergard threw into the crowd from you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
No, no, not at all. But it's funny you mentioned
the Mets justin Frossburg. Oh, I say it sounds it's
funny you mentioned the Mets dorio Hey in honor of
George Form. We talked about him, his life, his career, tonight,
passing with at the age of seventy six, and many
people know him just as the grill guy. Yeah, something
food wise that may be better and more desirable than
(17:43):
helmet nachos at Dodger Stadium. I I you know, there's
not any There's not a lot that's gonna get me
to say no, no, I want something other than helmet
nachos at Dodger State. Is it like the uh?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Is it the White Sox and their new milkshake to
try to top last year's greatness of the s'mores milkshake,
which is better than anything they put on the field.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
No, because I gotta watch the White Sox while I'm
eating so I mean, I I that's not worth it.
But you enjoyed the ice cream like helmet nachos and
watching the Dodgers. Okay, Dodge's best team in Major League Baseball? Jason,
how excited are you for a bucket of wieners? Now,
that's the thing. I am extremely excited this new food
that you guys sent to me today. Other my other
friends like they like it's like, oh, I thought of you.
(18:24):
Today the Mets announced they're going to have this new
feature at City Field. A bucket of dogs is what
it's called a dog ball. Dog ball twelve hot dogs
with buns served in a batting helmet for twelve ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah, when you order it, you just bark and yeah,
oh dog bawl.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
H this may be greater than helmet nachos. Why helmet
nachos are twenty bucks? You want to get meat, it's
like twenty four bucks twelve ninety nine for twelve hot dogs,
and I get a helmet that's really underpriced, Like that's
I I can't believe that that's the price.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Of what happens.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Helmet though, this is something that dude, we were in
the NLCS last year. Okay, we're really good. We have sodo.
Uh this is I know that hot dogs are very cheap,
but like you go to get a hot dog in
a game, it's four or five beef, and these hot
dogs like it. But I mean, like this has to
be something like and look at I'm not saying look
at me all of a sudden, I want fans to
pay more money. No, I'm just saying that, Hey, I
(19:28):
don't know, like me, let's go I don't know why
you wouldn't go to the go to the game. And
the first thing, all right, who's gonna good? I'll go
get it for you know, with tax, it's fifteen bucks
and I'm getting twelve hot dogs and I'm getting food
for all of us for the day. Right, Like this
is a great thing because you know you talk about
the cast. Oh for four tickets to a game with
four hot dogs and four drinks, well that comes to
approximately three hundred and thirty eight dollars in the average
(19:50):
fans being practical. So here I am saying, hey, Elika,
it should be more money. But even it's a little more.
Even the twenty dollars you're getting twelve hot dogs.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Man, I'd be charging you like fifty the condiments for
the twelve hot dogs, and you get a helmet. I mean,
now you fight for the helmet with your friends. No,
who gets the helmet?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, no, no, whoever eats the most hot dogs gets
the helmet. You make a challenge. Yeah, I'm putting I'm
smushing the helmet on my head with the hot dogs
in it. Oh what are you doing? I'm keeping the
hot dogs warm for later. It's on the top of
my head.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
But legitimately, think about the backup for the condiments. I mean,
how are you gonna do this because they're playing hot dogs?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Who the hell eats a playing hot dog?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, you put mustard or some people, you know, the
people who should be banned from ballparks put ketchup on
hot dogs. But you know, you put mustard on, you
put onions on, You're good to go.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Hey, are you waiting for someone to refill that weekend?
Like you're going to miss a highlight?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I want cheese on the hot dogs, but I understand
I'm not going to get that. If I get mustard
and onions, I'm good. I can have as many hot
dogs as I want to. Man, Oh that sounds so
good right now, just a big helmet, hot dogs, bucket
of wieners. Sure, I'll even say that frostburg bucket a wieners.
(21:08):
Give it to me, Yes, bucket of wieners. A. But
there should be a contest. Now I'm not saying you
do this, but you have a content who can eat
the whole bity and you take pictures. You wear the
helmet on your head, like when you go into one
of those places where hey, here's the the you know,
the old ninety six er from the Great Outdoors. You know,
ninety six ounce of steak, right like a fat burger.
Here in La you go to have the fat Burger
(21:29):
challenge where you eat the biggest burger they have, and
if you can eat the whole thing in one sitting,
like an a half hour, get your picture on the wall.
Like I wonder if you could do that someone eating
all twelve hot dogs and not like not like Joey
Chestnut or kobeyash people that could do it in like
a minute and a half, like an average person going on,
I'm gonna eat all these hot dogs.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Go get yourself. The big Texan seventy two ounce steak.
Yeah yeah, but now say it's a shrimp cocktail, baked potato,
salad and roll butter and the seventy two ounce steak. Now,
obviously if you you owe them a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
See. But that's also we're not just eating the steak.
We're giving you stuff to fill you up. We're giving
you carbs and starches like baked potato. It's that's that's
gonna fill you up. Man, It's just like Tysher will
agree with me on that. No, that's just there to
fill you up. It's make you to stop eating it.
But hot dogs and buns. Okay, that's an easy contest.
Hot dogs and buns. And we've seen it. We see
it every fourth of July. Hot dogs and buns.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What were you saying in Jason?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Uh that the uh? Are you even paying attention? You're
doing dragon ball Z stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I'm doing neither really.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh so you're just not not paying attention.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I'm putting your best of the week podcasts together.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh okay, good, it's gotta be really long. It'd be
a lot of stuff on it.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
There's a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No good. Uh. So the if you have an eating contest, Yeah,
to eat a big steak like seventy two out steak
or something really big, they give you you have to
have the potato, baked potato, and all these different things
on the side to give you starches and carbs to
fill you up. Yeah, you make it tougher to finish that.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah. It's the same thing with free breadsticks.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, trying to go get all you can eat salad whatever,
or pasta bowls. Look, here's some bread, here's some more bread.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's true. Yeah, I don't blame them, smart business plan. Yeah,
but when you say it like they got you want to.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Harmon, Harmon goes home, They're not gonna get me again
with the free breadstick. As a you keep falling for that.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
As a younger man, I might have liked the breadsticks
far more than anything else they put on the menu.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
How about that, I'm gonna fall for it.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And the initials might be I mean, look, I was
young then, so I mean that's like an O G
kind of place.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And your mom is telling you, Mike, I tell you
all the time, don't fill up on bread, don't wait
wait for the food, don't fill up on bread. I know,
I know, but I can't help it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I just get it is true, though, Jason starches and breads.
Those will get you.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, all the eating contest hardest. That's why they dunk
the buns in the water. That's why you don't just
eat the bunch. Dunk the buns in the water. And
I'm telling you, but man, is this really is severely underpriced?
Twelve hot dogs and a helmet for twelve ninety nine,
Like I would sit there for three and a half hours,
just continually eating hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Well, what's the table?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Though?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
When they tried we talked a lot about liability, right,
we talk about that on the show a lot. All right,
let's think about the economic impact. Let's talk about liability.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Think of all the.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Sodium being consumed and suddenly got a bunch of fifty
sixty year old guys who may not be taking care
of themselves the rest of the week, and suddenly they're
gonna eat sacks of WIRs.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
What are we talking about here?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
What's the liability for the New York metropolitans?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Forget, I wouldn't even care what the game was. No liability,
I'm gonna be witch. I mean, I got the helmet
and I'm just eating hot dogs. I would care, And
there it is, the thirteenth run has crossed the plate
in the first inning against Clay Holmes. Here on opening day,
Mets are down thirteen nothing. I would say, I don't care.
Thirteen run, this is my eighth hot dog.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Feeling you've eaten in one sitting.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh oh, I don't know they've ever done that competitively,
but who boy?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I would say, oh okay, I would say without trying,
like without really trying, like without saying, okay, I'm sitting
to do this. I could go to a barbecue or
some kind of party for a couple hours. I could
have like six easy.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oh so you're doing this in public, so here we go.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Oh yeah, guy, have like six easy opening day, I
might have to spring for Dodger dogs now, going Dodger dog.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Now, I'm not saying I'm buying it from them. I'm
saying I'm buying in the store. They're going to bill
you in twenty fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's okay, good luck finding me then, all right. Then
I would have that last hot dog and put that
helmet on my head like I'm wearing a crown, like yeah, buddy,
look at me. I don't care. The Mets lost to
forgive me.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I'm the King of New York.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I don't I don't care that Wan Soda wants a trade.
I'm fine, I'm all good. I just ate twelve hot
dogs and I spent thirteen bucks on him. I'm winning.
I am winning in life. That is the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Oh man, you'll get those two hat sizes?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bet? Yeah? But Sodi would I would get what size
you were? I'm wearing an eight in a quarter? Can
I got a size eight and a quarter at anywhere?
Can I order that online?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Plus one?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Please? I would have. Wouldn't eight and a quarter size
hat be really expensive or be really cheap?
Speaker 4 (26:32):
No, it's gotta be really expensive because otherwise they probably
sit on a shelf a long long time.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Right, So you're waiting for that perfect But what's gonna be?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
They want to get rid of it. They want to
get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
No, no, no, no, you know you're price it high because
the guy that wears the eight and a quarter he
can't find those. So if you're the one that has it,
it's like a one of one trading card. Like so
the pul Schemes trading card version of hats is an
eight and a quarter.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Well, let me look the skiing's guard. A lot of
people want no questions about it.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
In this case, you have a subset of people that
wear a hat that big, whether they've got a lot
of hair or just a big head. They might not
walk into your store but once in a blue moon.
But when they find that hat, maybe maybe to sunny
day and they need that coverage, they're gonna pay you
what they need. Do Hey, it may sit for a while.
(27:23):
You might want to keep it in case, make sure
it doesn't get dusty. But I'm not giving it away. No,
I'm not discounting that unless you're hearing out of business.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I'm on hatland dot com, which has great zephy if
you like zephyr Ze, they have great hats. Hatland dot
com their size eight and a half fitted hats. Yeah,
they got like five hundred of them. How about you
can you can get an Eagle Super Bowl Championship hat
right with the old logo and the super logo on
the side. Forty five bucks.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It's not terrible.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Forty five bucks for a fitted hat size eight and
eight and a half, like eight that is a ah.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Ordering the gold one that's the next level stuff right there.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
And eight and a halfs You're you have to be
like Mega Mined to be wearing an eight and a
half size, that's true. Bruce Bochi was an eighth though
I'm pretty sure Bochi Bochie but.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Is happy after a haircut or is that full?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You know, unkempt quaff his helmet fits twenty wieners.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, well see, because that's the thing for me is
that my my hat size was seven to three quarters.
You know, I have no hair, Like if I had hair,
I mean maybe I'm in a maybe i'd be in
an eight. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I mean I like, well, how about you know you
have a promotion one day, fill your hat at the
concession stand. Phill won't give you, however many hot dogs
you change to fill your hat.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Let's go exit out about a Fresco exit swallow down

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O. The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Carmon Livethtirack dot com Studios. Coming up next,
we finish with a flourish We tell you what NFL
star quarterback may have played his final down in the league.
Plus we preview the two biggest games of Day three
of the NCAA Tournament tomorrow. That's coming up next right here,
Jason to Mike.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon Live forth Tire dot Cops Studios. So we'll
previe the two biggest games of the day coming up
in a couple of minutes. But first big story in
the NFL today, The Giants found their quarterback at least
for now, agree two terms with Jameis Winston two years,
(33:03):
eight million dollars with a chance to get it up
to as much as sixteen million. Now why is this
a big deal? Well, yeah, it's technically backup money. But
what this is is the Giants choosing Jameis Winston over
Russell Wilson. Who will get to in a second And
for the Giants, it's easy. Jamis comes in, maybe he starts.
Maybe the Giants take a quarterback at three if cam
(33:25):
Ward or Shador Sanders is still there. If not, the
Giants will take a quarterback early in the second round.
Whether it's all the cast of characters we've talked about
for the last couple of months, McCord or Ewers or
Milrow or Jackson Dart, they will take somebody there to
be their quarterback of the future. So either Jamis is
gonna come in and keep the seat warm until Shador
Sanders is ready, or he's gonna come in and play
(33:46):
until a little bit longer until one of the more
developmental players is ready to come in and take over. Right.
So that's what it's gonna be. But the big thing
is about Russell Wilson. So we talked about this three
weeks ago. Get ready for the fact that Wilson may
have played the final game of his NFL career because
there's no landing spot for him. Right. It was the Giants.
I told you the Giants hold the key to everything,
(34:09):
and the Giants made their decision with Jamis Winston, who's
more dynamic, gonna throw a touchdown and a pick, and
a touchdown and a pick and a touchdown and a pick.
That's how it's gonna go. But Wilson, this was his
landing spot. There's no place else. Yes, he went to
visit the Browns. The Browns are taking a quarterback at
number two. They already traded for Kenny Pickett. Right, they
have their guy who is gonna play until either Ward
(34:31):
or Sanders, who they take it to, is going to
be ready. You're not gonna bring in Wilson, who would
be someone who would stand in the way of that development.
You're not doing it right in the Browns. Like I said,
you already brought in. You're not gonna bring in Wilson
and Kenny Pickett and not take a guy at two.
So where's the landing spot for Russell Wilson? Guys like
this that are Hall of famoush caliber players. He's not
(34:53):
gonna stick around and be a backup I mean, get
ready again. He was tended three weeks ago, and congratulations
everybody else who's gonna jump on this. We may have
seen Wilson play his last down in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
That would make me sad because everybody loved Russ.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
When you say everybody like, well, what do you mean every.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Well, I'm saying in the past when I would point
out potential flaws with Russell Wilson, I was the bad guy,
just like the same thing with Aaron Rodgers and some
of the other quarterbacks for it, and then all of
a sudden, everybody jumped on board those bandwagons. Not that
I want him and Russ. For five weeks he was
the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Look at the Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Offense and then it went spiraled out of control. The
wheels came off and it was like a Russ can't
play anymore. It's like so much is it? Or hey,
Aaron Rodgers is terrible, terrible, terrible. Now let's take a
small sample size, bolstered mostly by two games against the
Jaguars and Dolphins, to try to sell him as a
viable option for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
What are we doing? I mean, he lost the last
five games of the year. He was not very good
in any of them. Right, last four games of the
regular season where they went, oh and they went from
ten and ten and three to ten and seven. Like
his best game was two hundred and fifteen yards passing right,
Like he's he's he's done. Like at least Rogers ended
(36:13):
on an upswing where you can potentially make the point
of Okay, maybe he needed more time to come back
from the torn Achilles and he did want to not
be a jet, right, I needed to get away X
jet you know. Maybe good again, he did finish up
pretty well, you know again top ten for touchdowns and yards, right,
like that's that was Rogers. But Wilson, I don't know.
I mean, really, we may and he's not gonna take
(36:35):
a backup job someplace. He may just have to sit
around and wait and hope that that an injury phone
call comes. But boy, that's so desperate for him. I
got I got a feeling he's gonna sit back and
see and then if nothing really happens doesn't look great,
I think he's got to retire. And that's how it's
got to go for him.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, I think I would be circling and if I'm
Russell Wilson like, and this is where we get try
to get into the heads of athletes at the end
of their run of if you think you still have
some football left in you, do you not go to
a place where someone's hold is tenuous or where they've
got a youngster and you can claim to be that
mentor guy, but all the while you're just waiting to
(37:11):
get tapped on the shoulder to save a season and
keep going. Because, as we've talked about forever, the old
Sims line right that you've quoted so many times and
we've used on the show, retirement's long. So if you
still think you have some football, the worst thing you
can do is just hang it up instead of becoming
that backup guy. Yeah, it might be seen as desperation,
(37:32):
but wouldn't it eat at your soul more to be
sitting at home watching these guys on Sundays not being
in a facility the rest of the week. Wouldn't you
start throwing footballs through TVs like Elvis used to shoot them? Yeah,
but it's not. It's not up to you though the
league is telling you no. But part of your premise
was Russell doesn't want to be that guy. Maybe maybe
(37:54):
you're okay to be that guy.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, that's real, that's real time. You think Russ has
a bit of an ego, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
That's why Russ has doesn't have a job.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
If Russ was the guy that Russ was, the aw
shucks guy all the years ago, and not the guy
that he kept trying to still claim that he was,
even though behind the scenes in Denver and then in
Pittsburgh we found out he wasn't. If he was still
that early guy that recognized Marshawn Lynch, a great defense
and everything made the world run, Russ would have a job.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I just get ready that this may be the end
for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
It was once a good run.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Now tomorrow it's gonna be the end for a bunch
of teams in the NCAA turn. Oh yeah. Two games
more high profile than any other. The first one obviously
Calatino hashtag Calatia.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
You go, Fried Calais Well, it's tabbed at the back
of the New York Jameson.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
They still haven't moved.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
The time, and I let you can't believe they're playing
playing this game.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
In forty five minutes, they start this game next for
menu on hung for Hungry Johnny's, Patino's old nemesis and
his wild Hogs.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I like that. Patino in an interview today, you know,
said great things about it, but said, like seventeen times,
we're not close. We're not close. We're not close. I
love respect, We're not close. Okay, So you know this
game means a lot to them. I would be scared
for Saint John's if Arkansas was a more dynamic team offensively,
if they could hit threes, because Saint John's can't. Saint
John's is way more talented. They're still the better squad.
(39:22):
You're going to see it tomorrow. Saint John's is gonna
beat Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Seven and a half is the number Smith.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
They cover it easy, Saint john It'll be a game
for a while. Saint John's talent pulls away. Now. The
team that I'm a little worried about, and I tell
you this knowing full well that I have him going
to the Final four is boy Ucla, Tennessee. We talked
about it last night. This is what UCLA does. They
either lose in the first round or make an unexpected
run to the Elite eight. And you know, you got
(39:49):
Mick Cronin calling them soft, hating his players a couple
months ago. They have responded, not by playing tough defensively.
But this is not your older brother's Johnny ju zang
HEIMI hakez fifty point a game. UCLA team. They're scoring
a lot. Watch out, this is what UCLA does. I
can see them beating Tennessee and reckon a lot of.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Brackets's funny because Tennessee was the team I ran fastest
to push all the way down in my bracket, which means, uh, well,
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (40:16):

(00:53):
the NCAA Tournament is coming gone and uh that's bet
that's a pretty apropro way to describe it. The day
is coming gone.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, gratulations done, a job done done.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, we'll give you a couple of big previews for
tomorrow because it's two huge games. I'd be look, you
have the second round of the turn, but there's two
games that are really big musty events. We'll preview them
coming up later on this hour. But I mean outside
of today, Yeah, you had a twelve five upset, but okay,
you know Memphis losing in Colorado stated, it's like, okay, yeah,
(01:25):
it's not like we watched Michigan, like they almost lost
last night to UCSD. It kind of a generic day,
Like I think the big highlight was watching Cooper Flag
and after the first two minutes of the Duke game
where you saw him set up an alley oop and
then go in for a layup and one, it was okay,
Cooper Flag is fine, Duke's gonna win by fifty, all right,
(01:47):
nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Nothing to see here, Go check out one of the
other games and move on.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And then some of those were great first halfs.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Like if you stop them at halftime and just got
yourself in the mentality of the game is ending in
two and a half minutes. Boy, they were thrillers. And
then once the second half started, yeah, not so much. Yeah,
I mean, Yukon's game was fun with all it was.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It was close for a while. I know you were rooting.
You wanted Danny Hurley out of the Look, look, I
have to wait another day for that to happen.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
But you know it all, you almost had it, but
it kept Caravan alive. So I mean that that's good friend.
And the shows, I mean we looked for him. I
just thought them losing would be better theater and a
better story for.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Us on a Friday night.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Otherwise, we're talking about Aaron Rodgers meeting with all the
Steelers people, talking about James Wentzt.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
To the Giants and wishing and hoping.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
That there were more storylines to go Hurley losing would
have given us that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Now look, now you mentioned you mentioned Rodgers. Right, We'll
get to George Forman coming up in a couple of seconds.
But here here's where I'm at with Aaron Rodgers and
the Steelers. Right, finally, they were meeting today and for
the first time when we had heard that, wait a bit,
there was a contract offer out there for Aaron Rodgers. Meanwhile,
today was their first meeting and no deal is imminent.
Well wait a minute, why the Remember Aaron Rodgers needs
(03:07):
to control the narrative. He needs to make it look
like he's in charge. Right, this is this is what
Rogers and Russell Wilson are trying to do. To try
to make sure, try to put it out there that
they're still sought after quarterbacks when really they're not. Hey, Rogers,
I'm gonna wait because all these teams now are stuck
(03:28):
because it's not a great quarterback crop, and free agency
not a great quarterback crop. In the early part of
the draft. It's more developmental quarterback draft. So I'm trying
to seize the storyline here. It's out there, Oh, Aaron
rodg Because if Aaron Rodgers really had a big why
is he saying no at this point? He would be
failing upward to go to the Steelers. Let's see, I
had a bad first half of the year last year.
(03:49):
I had a good second half of the year. We
closed well with good weapons. I still finish in the
top ten in touchdowns and yards, and I can go
to a better team with a better head coach and
more talent, and the team that's gonna be at least
five hundred or more that makes the playoffs every year.
He's really waiting to sign that contract. Really, he's really waiting.
Come on, we know this is gonna happen, right, Just
(04:09):
sign the contract over, Just sign I don't know what
purpose Aaron Rodgers is serving. Nobody else is going to
get you. You don't want to go to the Giants.
They already sign their guy. We'll have more on them
in a little bit. We know what's gonna happen, right,
we don't need to wait any further. We don't just
go do it. Or maybe the Steelers wind up getting
little cold feet and saying, you know what, we can't
wait for you anymore. We're gonna trade for Kirk Cousins,
(04:31):
and we're gonna figure out the money, and Atlanta's gonna
pay for everything, and we're gonna get kirk Cousins, Like, well,
what are you waiting for? Like, we know this is
gonna happen. We know Rogers is gonna play for the Steelers.
Why not sign it? I don't understand what we're waiting for.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
See, this is where it's fun, because you bring up
Captain Kirk Cousins. So I give you the which would
you rather? Would you rather have the guy in Rogers
who goes on Pat McAfee, who does his ayahuasca, retreats darkness, retreats,
wanders the earth like Caine and Kung Fu, or a
guy like Kirk Cousins who may or may not have
(05:04):
lied about his health.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And still tries to portray the good guy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
There you go, that's a that's not a great choice,
secret option. See it it's not you get it is.
It is what we have, right, It's not a great choice.
But I'm not excited about that.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Now in the cage and we put Russell Wilson in there.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
We got all the veterans.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'm in scrambling it up.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Come on, I'm not saying I like the choice, because clearly,
what have I told you? Look, the Steelers, you can't
keep shopping and the clear it's been for quarterbacks. But
this is what we're doing. Uh, you can't. But this
is what's left. And you don't have a quarterback now,
So what are we waiting for? Really? What's Aaron Rodgers
waiting for? What? I mean? This is where I get
to a point where okay, enough is enough already, Right,
(05:50):
I'm not to the one of those you know, you know,
all the guys from earlier in the week. We have
a decision. But now it's like, okay, you visited, you
know where things are going. Russell Wilson and is not
going back to the Giants, right, they signed Jameis Winston today,
he's not going back to the steel We know what's
gonna happen, right, So what what I mean are you
waiting for? Are you gonna announce it on Pat McAfee show.
Are you gonna come out and say my intention is
(06:11):
to play quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year? Hoping
you're catching lightning in a bottle like what happened with
the Jets two years ago. What anyway, it's not gonna happen.
You don't have to go to that moment again. You
don't get another moment to say I'm taking my talents
to South Beach. You just just we know what's coming.
So just just just say yes and do it, and
then we can go on talking about the draft for
the next five and a half weeks. Let's just do
(06:33):
it that way.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So if he does sign, or when he does sign
with Pittsburgh, does he go to that museum where they've
got all the Fred Rogers stuff and he puts on
a sweater and some gym shoes.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Just having neighbor Hi, Mike Tomlin, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Paddy, and I decided to save that trip for next time.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
He puts on he puts on a Steeler's card again sweater,
he comes in and sits down. Here you go works,
Oh man, I mean, really, what are we waiting for it?
Let's just do it right there. There's no reason why
we're waiting for it right.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Now either because he wants to be in the news
cycle for another couple of days.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Man. I mean really, I'm wondering if we're gonna get
it on McAfee on Tuesday, Like that's really what I'm
waiting for. Like, that's the only thing I can think about.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Is a college college kid. Right, here's my hats.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I got the Steelers because the Giants, I guess, aren't
necessarily done. I mean, so you could still have the Giants. Look,
you can always make up another team. Put the Vikings
in there for fun, because they even though they claim
they were done. Remember Brett Farv didn't show up till
August eighteenth, when he showed up as a member of
the Vikings all those years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So yeah, let's have it like it's a commitment day.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Like, oh, I like that. I thought that could work, okay,
And I mean maybe he's being friendly with McAfee because
you know, did you see the story this week. Hey,
no networks are going crazy to sign Aaron Rodgers to
talk about football, so he's gonna have to find his
own way in to the media to do, which I
always said he would do his own podcast or do
his own TV show. That's some kind of you know,
(08:07):
weird stuff where it's part football and part ayahuasca and
part aliens. And you know, it's gonna take some kind
of off the beaten path entity to do it. It's
not gonna be a big network, but maybe this is
what he's saying. Hey, I do it on Pat, and
Pat's gonna be good to me when I retire, and
then I'll be on Patch show.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I did get a couple of notices that you have
offers for a couple of the true TV or not
TV entries and they come from a rod Okay, so
it might be part of his extraterrestrial segments on his show.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Hey, look, it took me all a like, you know,
like six minutes to come up with some of these
true TV or not TV show titles, so I'm okay
with selling them really cheap.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I would have been really you know, acting as your
advisor here. I would have said, you know, you did
a lot of brainstorming to come up with them.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I mean it's otherwise.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It just seems like anybody can throw a couple of
words together and have a TV pitch.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
No, but I mean dors Mash and grab Hub. I
mean that's like a that's an unbelievable title right now.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Ghost Lusters is also good too. Ghost Lusters is good.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I'm gonna look it up on my own computer.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But Dorsmash and grab Hub. I mean that's perfect, right,
that's that's fantastic, and the and I got that that See,
that's the thing is, that's how you come up with shows. Now,
you don't come up with ideas for shows, come up
with titles and then and then the when you look
at the title, go oh, okay, this is this is what
the show should be. That's a better way to do it.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So we'll have to see if who owns the rights now,
But you can go back to nineteen ninety for ghost Lusters.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh yeah, statute of limitations on that easy, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Easy guy named Bruce seven was the director.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Bruce seven, okay, and then George Stands okay. So look
earlier tonight we had the big breaking story. We lost
an absolute legend in George Foreman, who passed away at
the age of seventy six, and the life he has
had as a boxer, as a heavyweight champion, as a
grill master, as a someone who went from one successful
(10:06):
career to the next and stayed relevant for over forty years.
There's very few people who've ever walked this earth like
George Foreman, subject to some of the big biggest documentary
movies of all time. You can keep going about George
Foreman's plaudits and his achievements and you would run out
and we were on the air for four hours. But
the one that I really want people to understand, you know,
(10:29):
going in this tonight, is that we talked a lot
about Tom Brady, who had forty five years old, wins
the Super Bowl and it's like, oh wow, he was
gonna play and then you know, walked away, Right, I'm done.
One more year. Couldn't do it? Right? That was as
a great accomplishment of forty five. Lebron James, who was
still playing at this high level at the age of
forty is insanely good. Now could he play five more years? Probably?
(10:50):
Like I mean, Lebron's not gonna play when he's just
like a fourteen point a game guy. But could he
play at a really high level for the next four
or five years? Looks like him. Could he move to
the five and that's where he finishes his career? Absolutely
like Lebron could do that. But you got to see
George Foreman, who was incredibly successful in the seventies as
a boxer and then retired, retired for ten years, ten
(11:14):
of his peak years as a boxer, comes back when
he's thirty eight years old, fights Evander Holyfield, fights Tommy Morrison.
Doesn't win these fights, but doesn't get knocked out, loses
decision in both of these stays fighting, wins a lot
of fights, and then at the age of forty five,
he beats Michael Moore, who is twenty six years old,
(11:35):
to win the heavyweight title at forty five years old.
And now you compare that to what Brady did, what
Lebron is doing. You go, Okay, why is what George
Foreman did like what Brady did? Times ten. Boxing is
a sport that relies on quickness and reflexes and strength,
all things that diminish greatly from the age of twenty
(11:59):
five to twenty the age of forty five. Yes, oh
I know that. But think about in boxing when it's
about hitting the other person, and it's about strategy, and
it's about the mental acuity to be able to know
when to move and have those big synapses fire as
quickly as you can to avoid punches. There's a reason
why at the age of forty five, people are just
(12:19):
kind of holding on and he gets up and wins
the heavyweight championship at the age of forty five. When
you think about the inherent physical advantage that another boxer
like of Michael Moore or someone who is fifteen twenty
years younger, that they have, right, it's one thing that say, Okay,
Brady's forty five, he's playing against a bunch of other
twenty five year olds. Yeah, well, you also have twenty
(12:39):
five year olds protecting him. He's got twenty five year
old guys running routes. He's got twenty five year old
guys and the ball off to It's not about being fast,
it's not about being able to avoid hits. It's about
Brady being able to be smart and nowhere to go
With the football, it's a team game. There's a lot
of more there's a lot more things that you have
to take into account for George Foreman and the ring
(13:00):
against the guy who's twenty years old. You be forty
five years old and get into a fight against someone
who's twenty five, who is in the state, who is
built just like you are, except they're twenty years younger
and just as big. You know, win that fight. No
you're not. And yet he wins the heavyweight championship of
the world. You see what guys do in their forties.
This is not nearly being taken into account as much
(13:21):
as it should. A is one of the greatest physical
achievements of all time. Forty five and he's the heavyweight
champion of the world.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Look man, he was a country strong out of Marshall, Texas,
which is about one hundred and fifty miles away from Dallas,
and he according to the stats, he had a seventy
eight inch reach. The other is go back to the
beginning of his career when he wins at the Olympics.
He fought a guy that at that point was twenty
nine years old and had two hundred and twenty fights
(13:48):
in his career.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
For his career seventy six and five.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Man seventy said, that's like Saban's record at Alabama. He's
seventy six and Thed's sixty eight nine outs. Man, I
mean that was back when guys fought a ton. When
I mean you got into the seventies eights, when guys
would fight like like two or three times a year,
Tyson would fight every couple of weeks because you would
beat people so badly in the first round and not
take a punch like that was some kind of era. Man,
(14:17):
what a legend. George Foreman passed away at the age
of seventy six. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the
tire rack dot Com Studios. Coming up next, Hey, in
honor of George Foreman and to George Foreman, Grill, do
we have a great food story coming your way. Plus

a Supernatural reunion on the final season of The Boys,
Misha Collins and Jared Patalleki's gonna be on with Jensen Ackles.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Uh be just like super sixteen years of Supernaturals coming
to season five of The Boys. Okay, I'm just saying,
carry out my wayward son. It's like synonymous with Supernatural.
Oh okay, yeah, I mean the show was on show
was on for sixteen years.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Man, somehow I avoided it the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I avoided it till my daughter said, I want to
binge Supernatural really so like, and I felt like we
binged it for like a year. Like it's all sixteen
all sixteen seasons of every episode. Here they are vampire hunters,
and here comes a Battie of the Week and they
kill this person. But then they introduced Death and all
these other characters, and I'm like, how do you get
(15:58):
sixteen years a plot spoiler? They don't really have sixteen
years of plotlines, but they did sixteen years of show.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Hey if they were able to keep getting renewed. They
did the job. You don't have to love it. It
was a CW.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
What else it's It's like, it's like Impractical Jokers on
True TV, Like what else are you gonna put off?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well, you hate those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'm just saying the show is on like like twenty
out of twenty four hours a day. Like we got
a couple of NCAA games and then hey, im Practical Jokers.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, but if you ever really chronicled how many episodes
they truly are, this could be like one of those
channels that feed you the same three seasons of Kitchen
Nightmares or whatever over and over again. Okay, hang on,
ar Ramsey's looking really young here.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Oh wait uh there are two hundred and sixty one
episodes of Practical Chokes. Okay, so I don't think there
were that many episodes of MASH and that show is
on forever in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Again, Mike, I can't wait to find out what they
actually did to Jason.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It's just it's just, you know, you know, people show hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It can't be built around one show man. You can't.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You can't say sounds jealous. I'm not jealous here.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm not jealous him out.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
We got five years to catch Supernatural.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Come on, you had a longer time than not to
catch super No.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
No, no, no, for you and me on air, we
need five more years.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
A ball that Noah Cindergard threw into the crowd from you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
No, no, not at all. But it's funny you mentioned
the Mets justin Frossburg. Oh, I say it sounds it's
funny you mentioned the Mets dorio Hey in honor of
George Form. We talked about him, his life, his career, tonight,
passing with at the age of seventy six, and many
people know him just as the grill guy. Yeah, something
food wise that may be better and more desirable than
(17:43):
helmet nachos at Dodger Stadium. I I you know, there's
not any There's not a lot that's gonna get me
to say no, no, I want something other than helmet
nachos at Dodger State. Is it like the uh?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Is it the White Sox and their new milkshake to
try to top last year's greatness of the s'mores milkshake,
which is better than anything they put on the field.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
No, because I gotta watch the White Sox while I'm
eating so I mean, I I that's not worth it.
But you enjoyed the ice cream like helmet nachos and
watching the Dodgers. Okay, Dodge's best team in Major League Baseball? Jason,
how excited are you for a bucket of wieners? Now,
that's the thing. I am extremely excited this new food
that you guys sent to me today. Other my other
friends like they like it's like, oh, I thought of you.
(18:24):
Today the Mets announced they're going to have this new
feature at City Field. A bucket of dogs is what
it's called a dog ball. Dog ball twelve hot dogs
with buns served in a batting helmet for twelve ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah, when you order it, you just bark and yeah,
oh dog bawl.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
H this may be greater than helmet nachos. Why helmet
nachos are twenty bucks? You want to get meat, it's
like twenty four bucks twelve ninety nine for twelve hot dogs,
and I get a helmet that's really underpriced, Like that's
I I can't believe that that's the price.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Of what happens.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Helmet though, this is something that dude, we were in
the NLCS last year. Okay, we're really good. We have sodo.
Uh this is I know that hot dogs are very cheap,
but like you go to get a hot dog in
a game, it's four or five beef, and these hot
dogs like it. But I mean, like this has to
be something like and look at I'm not saying look
at me all of a sudden, I want fans to
pay more money. No, I'm just saying that, Hey, I
(19:28):
don't know, like me, let's go I don't know why
you wouldn't go to the go to the game. And
the first thing, all right, who's gonna good? I'll go
get it for you know, with tax, it's fifteen bucks
and I'm getting twelve hot dogs and I'm getting food
for all of us for the day. Right, Like this
is a great thing because you know you talk about
the cast. Oh for four tickets to a game with
four hot dogs and four drinks, well that comes to
approximately three hundred and thirty eight dollars in the average
(19:50):
fans being practical. So here I am saying, hey, Elika,
it should be more money. But even it's a little more.
Even the twenty dollars you're getting twelve hot dogs.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Man, I'd be charging you like fifty the condiments for
the twelve hot dogs, and you get a helmet. I mean,
now you fight for the helmet with your friends. No,
who gets the helmet?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, no, no, whoever eats the most hot dogs gets
the helmet. You make a challenge. Yeah, I'm putting I'm
smushing the helmet on my head with the hot dogs
in it. Oh what are you doing? I'm keeping the
hot dogs warm for later. It's on the top of
my head.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
But legitimately, think about the backup for the condiments. I mean,
how are you gonna do this because they're playing hot dogs?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Who the hell eats a playing hot dog?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, you put mustard or some people, you know, the
people who should be banned from ballparks put ketchup on
hot dogs. But you know, you put mustard on, you
put onions on, You're good to go.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Hey, are you waiting for someone to refill that weekend?
Like you're going to miss a highlight?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I want cheese on the hot dogs, but I understand
I'm not going to get that. If I get mustard
and onions, I'm good. I can have as many hot
dogs as I want to. Man, Oh that sounds so
good right now, just a big helmet, hot dogs, bucket
of wieners. Sure, I'll even say that frostburg bucket a wieners.
(21:08):
Give it to me, Yes, bucket of wieners. A. But
there should be a contest. Now I'm not saying you
do this, but you have a content who can eat
the whole bity and you take pictures. You wear the
helmet on your head, like when you go into one
of those places where hey, here's the the you know,
the old ninety six er from the Great Outdoors. You know,
ninety six ounce of steak, right like a fat burger.
Here in La you go to have the fat Burger
(21:29):
challenge where you eat the biggest burger they have, and
if you can eat the whole thing in one sitting,
like an a half hour, get your picture on the wall.
Like I wonder if you could do that someone eating
all twelve hot dogs and not like not like Joey
Chestnut or kobeyash people that could do it in like
a minute and a half, like an average person going on,
I'm gonna eat all these hot dogs.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Go get yourself. The big Texan seventy two ounce steak.
Yeah yeah, but now say it's a shrimp cocktail, baked potato,
salad and roll butter and the seventy two ounce steak. Now,
obviously if you you owe them a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
See. But that's also we're not just eating the steak.
We're giving you stuff to fill you up. We're giving
you carbs and starches like baked potato. It's that's that's
gonna fill you up. Man, It's just like Tysher will
agree with me on that. No, that's just there to
fill you up. It's make you to stop eating it.
But hot dogs and buns. Okay, that's an easy contest.
Hot dogs and buns. And we've seen it. We see
it every fourth of July. Hot dogs and buns.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What were you saying in Jason?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Uh that the uh? Are you even paying attention? You're
doing dragon ball Z stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I'm doing neither really.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh so you're just not not paying attention.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I'm putting your best of the week podcasts together.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh okay, good, it's gotta be really long. It'd be
a lot of stuff on it.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
There's a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No good. Uh. So the if you have an eating contest, Yeah,
to eat a big steak like seventy two out steak
or something really big, they give you you have to
have the potato, baked potato, and all these different things
on the side to give you starches and carbs to
fill you up. Yeah, you make it tougher to finish that.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah. It's the same thing with free breadsticks.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, trying to go get all you can eat salad whatever,
or pasta bowls. Look, here's some bread, here's some more bread.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's true. Yeah, I don't blame them, smart business plan. Yeah,
but when you say it like they got you want to.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Harmon, Harmon goes home, They're not gonna get me again
with the free breadstick. As a you keep falling for that.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
As a younger man, I might have liked the breadsticks
far more than anything else they put on the menu.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
How about that, I'm gonna fall for it.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And the initials might be I mean, look, I was
young then, so I mean that's like an O G
kind of place.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And your mom is telling you, Mike, I tell you
all the time, don't fill up on bread, don't wait
wait for the food, don't fill up on bread. I know,
I know, but I can't help it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I just get it is true, though, Jason starches and breads.
Those will get you.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, all the eating contest hardest. That's why they dunk
the buns in the water. That's why you don't just
eat the bunch. Dunk the buns in the water. And
I'm telling you, but man, is this really is severely underpriced?
Twelve hot dogs and a helmet for twelve ninety nine,
Like I would sit there for three and a half hours,
just continually eating hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Well, what's the table?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Though?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
When they tried we talked a lot about liability, right,
we talk about that on the show a lot. All right,
let's think about the economic impact. Let's talk about liability.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Think of all the.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Sodium being consumed and suddenly got a bunch of fifty
sixty year old guys who may not be taking care
of themselves the rest of the week, and suddenly they're
gonna eat sacks of WIRs.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
What are we talking about here?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
What's the liability for the New York metropolitans?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Forget, I wouldn't even care what the game was. No liability,
I'm gonna be witch. I mean, I got the helmet
and I'm just eating hot dogs. I would care, And
there it is, the thirteenth run has crossed the plate
in the first inning against Clay Holmes. Here on opening day,
Mets are down thirteen nothing. I would say, I don't care.
Thirteen run, this is my eighth hot dog.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Feeling you've eaten in one sitting.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh oh, I don't know they've ever done that competitively,
but who boy?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I would say, oh okay, I would say without trying,
like without really trying, like without saying, okay, I'm sitting
to do this. I could go to a barbecue or
some kind of party for a couple hours. I could
have like six easy.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oh so you're doing this in public, so here we go.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Oh yeah, guy, have like six easy opening day, I
might have to spring for Dodger dogs now, going Dodger dog.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Now, I'm not saying I'm buying it from them. I'm
saying I'm buying in the store. They're going to bill
you in twenty fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's okay, good luck finding me then, all right. Then
I would have that last hot dog and put that
helmet on my head like I'm wearing a crown, like yeah, buddy,
look at me. I don't care. The Mets lost to
forgive me.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I'm the King of New York.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I don't I don't care that Wan Soda wants a trade.
I'm fine, I'm all good. I just ate twelve hot
dogs and I spent thirteen bucks on him. I'm winning.
I am winning in life. That is the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Oh man, you'll get those two hat sizes?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bet? Yeah? But Sodi would I would get what size
you were? I'm wearing an eight in a quarter? Can
I got a size eight and a quarter at anywhere?
Can I order that online?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Plus one?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Please? I would have. Wouldn't eight and a quarter size
hat be really expensive or be really cheap?
Speaker 4 (26:32):
No, it's gotta be really expensive because otherwise they probably
sit on a shelf a long long time.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Right, So you're waiting for that perfect But what's gonna be?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
They want to get rid of it. They want to
get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
No, no, no, no, you know you're price it high because
the guy that wears the eight and a quarter he
can't find those. So if you're the one that has it,
it's like a one of one trading card. Like so
the pul Schemes trading card version of hats is an
eight and a quarter.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Well, let me look the skiing's guard. A lot of
people want no questions about it.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
In this case, you have a subset of people that
wear a hat that big, whether they've got a lot
of hair or just a big head. They might not
walk into your store but once in a blue moon.
But when they find that hat, maybe maybe to sunny
day and they need that coverage, they're gonna pay you
what they need. Do Hey, it may sit for a while.
(27:23):
You might want to keep it in case, make sure
it doesn't get dusty. But I'm not giving it away. No,
I'm not discounting that unless you're hearing out of business.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I'm on hatland dot com, which has great zephy if
you like zephyr Ze, they have great hats. Hatland dot
com their size eight and a half fitted hats. Yeah,
they got like five hundred of them. How about you
can you can get an Eagle Super Bowl Championship hat
right with the old logo and the super logo on
the side. Forty five bucks.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It's not terrible.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Forty five bucks for a fitted hat size eight and
eight and a half, like eight that is a ah.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Ordering the gold one that's the next level stuff right there.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
And eight and a halfs You're you have to be
like Mega Mined to be wearing an eight and a
half size, that's true. Bruce Bochi was an eighth though
I'm pretty sure Bochi Bochie but.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Is happy after a haircut or is that full?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You know, unkempt quaff his helmet fits twenty wieners.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, well see, because that's the thing for me is
that my my hat size was seven to three quarters.
You know, I have no hair, Like if I had hair,
I mean maybe I'm in a maybe i'd be in
an eight. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I mean I like, well, how about you know you
have a promotion one day, fill your hat at the
concession stand. Phill won't give you, however many hot dogs
you change to fill your hat.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O. The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Carmon Livethtirack dot com Studios. Coming up next,
we finish with a flourish We tell you what NFL
star quarterback may have played his final down in the league.
Plus we preview the two biggest games of Day three
of the NCAA Tournament tomorrow. That's coming up next right here,
Jason to Mike.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon Live forth Tire dot Cops Studios. So we'll
previe the two biggest games of the day coming up
in a couple of minutes. But first big story in
the NFL today, The Giants found their quarterback at least
for now, agree two terms with Jameis Winston two years,
(33:03):
eight million dollars with a chance to get it up
to as much as sixteen million. Now why is this
a big deal? Well, yeah, it's technically backup money. But
what this is is the Giants choosing Jameis Winston over
Russell Wilson. Who will get to in a second And
for the Giants, it's easy. Jamis comes in, maybe he starts.
Maybe the Giants take a quarterback at three if cam
(33:25):
Ward or Shador Sanders is still there. If not, the
Giants will take a quarterback early in the second round.
Whether it's all the cast of characters we've talked about
for the last couple of months, McCord or Ewers or
Milrow or Jackson Dart, they will take somebody there to
be their quarterback of the future. So either Jamis is
gonna come in and keep the seat warm until Shador
Sanders is ready, or he's gonna come in and play
(33:46):
until a little bit longer until one of the more
developmental players is ready to come in and take over. Right.
So that's what it's gonna be. But the big thing
is about Russell Wilson. So we talked about this three
weeks ago. Get ready for the fact that Wilson may
have played the final game of his NFL career because
there's no landing spot for him. Right. It was the Giants.
I told you the Giants hold the key to everything,
(34:09):
and the Giants made their decision with Jamis Winston, who's
more dynamic, gonna throw a touchdown and a pick, and
a touchdown and a pick and a touchdown and a pick.
That's how it's gonna go. But Wilson, this was his
landing spot. There's no place else. Yes, he went to
visit the Browns. The Browns are taking a quarterback at
number two. They already traded for Kenny Pickett. Right, they
have their guy who is gonna play until either Ward
(34:31):
or Sanders, who they take it to, is going to
be ready. You're not gonna bring in Wilson, who would
be someone who would stand in the way of that development.
You're not doing it right in the Browns. Like I said,
you already brought in. You're not gonna bring in Wilson
and Kenny Pickett and not take a guy at two.
So where's the landing spot for Russell Wilson? Guys like
this that are Hall of famoush caliber players. He's not
(34:53):
gonna stick around and be a backup I mean, get
ready again. He was tended three weeks ago, and congratulations
everybody else who's gonna jump on this. We may have
seen Wilson play his last down in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
That would make me sad because everybody loved Russ.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
When you say everybody like, well, what do you mean every.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Well, I'm saying in the past when I would point
out potential flaws with Russell Wilson, I was the bad guy,
just like the same thing with Aaron Rodgers and some
of the other quarterbacks for it, and then all of
a sudden, everybody jumped on board those bandwagons. Not that
I want him and Russ. For five weeks he was
the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Look at the Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Offense and then it went spiraled out of control. The
wheels came off and it was like a Russ can't
play anymore. It's like so much is it? Or hey,
Aaron Rodgers is terrible, terrible, terrible. Now let's take a
small sample size, bolstered mostly by two games against the
Jaguars and Dolphins, to try to sell him as a
viable option for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
What are we doing? I mean, he lost the last
five games of the year. He was not very good
in any of them. Right, last four games of the
regular season where they went, oh and they went from
ten and ten and three to ten and seven. Like
his best game was two hundred and fifteen yards passing right,
Like he's he's he's done. Like at least Rogers ended
(36:13):
on an upswing where you can potentially make the point
of Okay, maybe he needed more time to come back
from the torn Achilles and he did want to not
be a jet, right, I needed to get away X
jet you know. Maybe good again, he did finish up
pretty well, you know again top ten for touchdowns and yards, right,
like that's that was Rogers. But Wilson, I don't know.
I mean, really, we may and he's not gonna take
(36:35):
a backup job someplace. He may just have to sit
around and wait and hope that that an injury phone
call comes. But boy, that's so desperate for him. I
got I got a feeling he's gonna sit back and
see and then if nothing really happens doesn't look great,
I think he's got to retire. And that's how it's
got to go for him.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, I think I would be circling and if I'm
Russell Wilson like, and this is where we get try
to get into the heads of athletes at the end
of their run of if you think you still have
some football left in you, do you not go to
a place where someone's hold is tenuous or where they've
got a youngster and you can claim to be that
mentor guy, but all the while you're just waiting to
(37:11):
get tapped on the shoulder to save a season and
keep going. Because, as we've talked about forever, the old
Sims line right that you've quoted so many times and
we've used on the show, retirement's long. So if you
still think you have some football, the worst thing you
can do is just hang it up instead of becoming
that backup guy. Yeah, it might be seen as desperation,
(37:32):
but wouldn't it eat at your soul more to be
sitting at home watching these guys on Sundays not being
in a facility the rest of the week. Wouldn't you
start throwing footballs through TVs like Elvis used to shoot them? Yeah,
but it's not. It's not up to you though the
league is telling you no. But part of your premise
was Russell doesn't want to be that guy. Maybe maybe
(37:54):
you're okay to be that guy.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, that's real, that's real time. You think Russ has
a bit of an ego, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
That's why Russ has doesn't have a job.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
If Russ was the guy that Russ was, the aw
shucks guy all the years ago, and not the guy
that he kept trying to still claim that he was,
even though behind the scenes in Denver and then in
Pittsburgh we found out he wasn't. If he was still
that early guy that recognized Marshawn Lynch, a great defense
and everything made the world run, Russ would have a job.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I just get ready that this may be the end
for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
It was once a good run.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Now tomorrow it's gonna be the end for a bunch
of teams in the NCAA turn. Oh yeah. Two games
more high profile than any other. The first one obviously
Calatino hashtag Calatia.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
You go, Fried Calais Well, it's tabbed at the back
of the New York Jameson.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
They still haven't moved.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
The time, and I let you can't believe they're playing
playing this game.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
In forty five minutes, they start this game next for
menu on hung for Hungry Johnny's, Patino's old nemesis and
his wild Hogs.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I like that. Patino in an interview today, you know,
said great things about it, but said, like seventeen times,
we're not close. We're not close. We're not close. I
love respect, We're not close. Okay, So you know this
game means a lot to them. I would be scared
for Saint John's if Arkansas was a more dynamic team offensively,
if they could hit threes, because Saint John's can't. Saint
John's is way more talented. They're still the better squad.
(39:22):
You're going to see it tomorrow. Saint John's is gonna
beat Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Seven and a half is the number Smith.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
They cover it easy, Saint john It'll be a game
for a while. Saint John's talent pulls away. Now. The
team that I'm a little worried about, and I tell
you this knowing full well that I have him going
to the Final four is boy Ucla, Tennessee. We talked
about it last night. This is what UCLA does. They
either lose in the first round or make an unexpected
run to the Elite eight. And you know, you got
(39:49):
Mick Cronin calling them soft, hating his players a couple
months ago. They have responded, not by playing tough defensively.
But this is not your older brother's Johnny ju zang
HEIMI hakez fifty point a game. UCLA team. They're scoring
a lot. Watch out, this is what UCLA does. I
can see them beating Tennessee and reckon a lot of.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Brackets's funny because Tennessee was the team I ran fastest
to push all the way down in my bracket, which means, uh, well,
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
