Speaker 1 (00:00):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Wednesday, the Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon Hobo. We're lying from the
Fox Sports Radio Studios. Tonight Shub brought to you buy Tirerack.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free, backed by free Road, has protection
(00:23):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well, the
NBA game of the night, it was not Nick's Magic,
not even close. Boy the way, don't how much I
love back to back games. I love back to back games.
They're so great except not. But you got fourteen guys
(00:44):
in the lineup. All the good things in Madison Square
Garden got to see. Yeah, everybody that wears the uniform
get at least so the minute you got two minutes
from from Coal like for crying out. Yeah, everybody plays everybody,
Oh no, they don't all win. Yeah, finally take a
home loss to the Orlando Magic. Well, listen, like I said,
(01:05):
I love back to back game. Why are we playing?
I mean, really, all the NBA's got to do all
Adam Silver's got to do to get solids everywhere. As
to say, hey, you know what, we're gonna get rid
of back to backs. Let's find a way to do
it right. We can find a way to No, no, no,
we're gonna play back to back. Oh okay, okay that
I mean really this, I get to a point with
back to backs. It's not just it's not just you know,
the Knicks play tonight and lost back to backs. It's
(01:26):
everybody back to backs, national televised games, all the different things.
I'm okay with teams if they say, oh, yeah, yeah.
I used to go from hey, if you're healthy, you
can play. Your healthy you can play. But now the
fact that the NBA is really obstinate with oh we're
keeping the back to backs, and even though we try
to less them, but we still have so many, especially
early in the season, I'm like, yeah, no, I'm okay.
If you want to sit back and say, yea're not
(01:47):
playing our guys tonight, not doing it, not doing I'm
okay with that. I've come around on that. I'm going
from hey, come on, you're you're you're giving some sort
of you have to beetle buy tickets to come see
you play at all this that. Now I'm like, no,
you sit out blank the NBA, Blank Adams, Blake all
the decisions these guys are making. No, Yeah, we don't
need back to back games yet, Blake. Those guys, welcome
to the right side of this argument where I've been
standing waving telling you to cross the chasm all these years.
(02:11):
Come on over the waters. Fine, Blank, those guys, eighteen
thousand people are still gonna show up. They're gonna live
and die with every call. They're gonna say, who the
hell's that guy at the four, and then their game
is gonna flow through. You're gonna win, you're gonna lose,
and you're gonna go home. It is all good. And
then they'll saddle up and do it again. Well, I
know you had been really hot on that part since
(02:35):
you started taking was an eleanor you started taking the
Lakers games, and it was a point where Lou Williams
was the best player on the floor three straight games
because Kobe sat out and the other guy sitting out
and he was on the ticket of the game. Hey
Lou Williams, Yeah, come to the Lakers and celebrate Lou Williams. Yeah.
I had a partial season during Kobe's final year. I
(02:56):
think I actually saw him in the building once. Okay,
of the games that I went to. Yeah, and he
never saw him play. No, no, no, no, I didn't
get that. And the worst of it though, it was
one night I had tickets for the game and for
a convergence of circumstance, couldn't go. So I had to
hand them. That was the day that he announced he
was done, and they gave out that letter thanking basketball.
(03:19):
So I, oh, yeah, one of them. Like evidently they
were willing to give the person I gave the tickets
to as many as she wanted, and I told her,
get as many as they'll possibly give you. She took one,
like you failed. Well, we're getting all the stars tonight
at least. Well, lebron James is not playing, but he's
going to the G League. Baby, come on now, yeah,
Bronny with the Lakers. No, that is not happening. I
(03:42):
want you to think. Mike Harmon said that he's not
going to the G League with boy would be funny.
Luca starts out like a house of fire, but Oklahoma City,
looking to improve on their league best thirty five and
one record lead the Lakers now twenty two to fourteen
late in the first quarter level lot in this again
biggest night in the NBA, But today was hardware Day
(04:03):
in Major League Baseball, where I can't say we're surprised
now that Trek Scooble and Paul Skeens are your cy
Young Award winners, schoobl winning back to back, Skeens winning,
and now that they've won, we can get to the
really important part of this conversation is when will both
of these guys get traded? Right? That's great? When will
(04:24):
both of these guys get traded? Because that's what it does.
It's all about Scooble. Is he gonna go Skeens? When's
he gonna go? Let's go Scooble first, then we'll go Skens.
Uh Schooble going into his last year of controllable salary
with the Tigers. I love him, Love the guy, Love
the guy, Love the guy, loved the guy. Don't want
to trade for him, don't want to trade for him.
(04:45):
He's a Scott Boris guy. So you know he's gonna
go to free agency. And I'll tell you this, not
only do I don't want to trade for him right now,
but there's no way he gets moved at all before
the trade deadline. I know there's a lot of talk
right now because it's a big rumor with schoobl and
the Tiger. What are they gonna do? He's gonna hit
free agency. But number one, the Tigers are a World
Series threat team. They're not just gonna give Schooble away.
(05:07):
They're not a team that needs to rebuild. They're not
the Pirates.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, once we get a good player, we gotta sell
them off for a bunch of lesser players, because that's
kind of how we do things. So the Tigers, they
have World Series aspirations. They're gonna go into camp with
schoobl and right now, it would take a an absolute
treasure trove of your best prospects to get Schooble away
from the Tigers. Which do you really want to give
somebody that, knowing full well that he's going to hit
(05:32):
free agency at the end of the year. You can
think he's gonna come in and love your culture. All
you want is got boards gonna say, yeah, don't fall
in love too much because we're going to free agency.
Because I'm gonna get you three hundred million dollars. Forget
about Yama mood. I'm gonna get you four hundred million dollars.
But that's it. He made love everything, but he's still
It's gonna cost you three hundred plus million dollars. It's
gonna cost you too much in prospects to be able
to get a guy for a year that's gonna go
(05:53):
to free agency, that's gonna go to the highest bidder. Right,
So the only time he gets moved is at the deadline.
And and this is if the Tigers aren't in contention,
because the Tigers will keep him all the way through
the end of the year. Hope he goes you, hope
he wants to stay. They're not going to move him
if they're in contention. They have no problem keeping him.
He's a homegrown prospect. And look, he's a guy that
(06:14):
had Tommy John surgery. The Tigers stuck with him. Look
at where they are now, Look how good he is.
He only gets dealt this year if it's at the
deadline and the Tigers are out of contention. Outside of that,
Schooble's a Tiger. He's going to pitch the whole year.
And then we'll get into the free agency part of
it in a year from now. But all this talk
about school going out no way, because no one's going
(06:34):
to pony up what the Tigers would want to move him,
and it's it's going to be really a dead issue
until we get to that part at the end of July. Yeah,
the part that you bring up about contending is the curiosity.
Right they finished the year two and eight eighty seven
wins on the year, just finishing behind Cleveland, and we
look at the rest of the division case he was
(06:55):
just a couple of games back Twins and White Sox
trying to figure out what the hell they're doing, and
we go from there. But when you get down to it,
you know, a lot I hear a lot of the show,
Hey Otani talk of well, you don't want to do
what the Angels did. The Angels did it because Ardi
Moreno didn't want to get money back. Okay, that's all.
That's the only reason Otani wasn't traded.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
One.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They might have had some thought that they could still
convince him to re sign right if the made the
money right and whatever. They didn't want to do the deferment.
So that's fine. But the other was how much money
had to go back to Japanese corporations if he was
gone for the second half of that year. I gotta
imagine it was enough. So I was like, you know what,
We're gonna ride this out and then wish and hope
(07:38):
see what happens. Hopefully he doesn't go up the Oh
he went up the five standing thirty miles, I'll go up.
I'll take you up at five. You go up the five. No,
you go up the five, you go to Dodgers Tatum.
So yeah, so you've got that. But in terms of
the conteting, and that's the question, are they willing to
risk losing him for nothing? Now? They're not going to.
(07:59):
They know if they're contending all the way through the
end of the year, yes, they would have to be
on pace for to finish fifteen to twenty games under
five hundred. Even if they're at five hundred the end
of July, they'll keep schoobl because you see this team,
this is a playoff team. There are a couple of
plays the last two years from moving on in the
playoffs being an ALCS team, maybe a World Series team.
(08:21):
So yeah, they'll hold on to him all the way
through the end of the year. I have no doubmamae
that's not happening. See, I didn't look at him as
a pitcher. I'm going I'm going into the marketplace. I'm
gonna say I've got the best going in the game.
They'll get. There's hardware. He's won of five Detroit Tiger
pitchers in history. You didn't have any fun with my
trivia question too. You took the fun guy off the board. Well,
(08:41):
because I've known that of the five players who have
won the cy Young Award for the Tigers, you said,
who are the five? And the first one I said
right away, will Hernandez you go? But that's the fun one.
I mean, sureser Verlanders. It's the most famous one. He
won cy Young in eighty four first relief as your lever. Yeah,
I mean that that was that was such a big deal.
(09:01):
Certain things stick in my head, certain trivia and stick
in my head. But yeah, we started going down, going
down the rabbit hole of old award winners, Like how
did that guy know? That was fun? But I just
think when you got a picture affects every fifth day,
Like if if you've got a couple of these squads
that are willing to mortgage for a half a year.
(09:22):
Come on, give me, give me all I can, because
I know I'm coming up snake eyes once Scott Morris
gets done the marketplace. Now for Paul Skeins, who wins
a cy Young unanimously. I think he's the new Jacob
de Gras. Win ten games, it doesn't matter, You're still
the cy Young. All this amid reports today from a
(09:42):
couple of sources that say Paul Skeins has told the
Pirates he wants to play for the Yankees, and the
Pirates understand that. Okay, wants to play for the Yankees.
The Pirates understand that. Okay, you think I'm gonna see
you go? No, you can't look go Okay, Uh, there's
no way. I think the Pirates understand. Listen, Paul Skeens
as the big superstar that he is him Livy Dunn.
(10:05):
They're not gonna spend their time in Pittsburgh. Okay, They're
not just not gonna happen. But to take this in
a different perspective, right, he once go the Yankees. Great? Right,
because I'm sure if he wants to get there, the
Yankees will make it happen. Right, this is where the fans.
The fans got Nico Harrison fired in Dallas. The Yankee
fans will get Paul Skins the Yankees because there's no
way now. Brian Cashman is now sweating profusely because he's
(10:26):
going I have to trade prospects to get Paul Skans.
At some point, I don't want to trade any prospects
because I think all my guys are really good. It's
why I don't make big trades anymore. Oh, I gotta
go take a thumbs. But they'll make it happen. But
I want to say this different in a different angle here, right,
the pirates don't want to trade Paul Skeins. They're gonna
but what else you gonna do? Because they're sitting now going, hey, well,
(10:49):
what's the old There was an old fable I remember
reading when I was a kid about a guy that
had a big brick of gold, and he had it
in his backyard, and he and he put in his
backyard and dug it up every day to look at it, right,
and he put it and he put it back in
the ground, and then he dug it up every day
to look at it. And then one day of neighbors
walking by and sees the guy and he's crying in
(11:10):
his backyard. Neighbor says, well, what's going on and the
guy says, ah, my gold is gone. Someone stole my gold.
I can't believe they stole the gold out of the backyard.
I don't have the gold anymore. And the neighbor says, well,
just get a rock painted gold buried. Anyway, you weren't
doing anything with it, so it may as well just
get a fake rock and pretended it's there it's gold.
I was thinking about that today because what I want
to say is, okay, Pittsburgh, if you don't want to
(11:32):
trade Paul Skins. I get that, who wants to trade
Paul Skins, But don't just sit back and we have
Paul Skins and then piecemeal stuff together because you're gonna
be seventy and ninety two with Paul Skins. Go out
and spend some bleeping money. Man, you got a guy
that's that great you want to convince him to stay.
Go spend some money. You know it's okay. You know
(11:53):
you don't need to be a big market team in
the NFL on a small market team in Major League baseball.
Go spend some cash, get a couple of players, and
try to compete. It's not impossible. You're on a ten
year down tick of when is this ever gonna happen?
Coming off a twenty year down tick before you got
good for a couple of years in the in the
in the like twenty eleven, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, when
(12:13):
McCutchen was fantastic. Right, So you're in a huge down
to go out and spend money. You don't want to
trade him. You know, we don't want to move. We
love Paul. We want to try to find Go spend money,
because that's how you're gonna get him to stay. That's
you get people to come to the ballpark. You want
people to come more than once every fifth day. Go
spend some money. And I'm gonna saying you got to
go on a Steve Cohen spending spree. But you have cash.
And if you don't have cash, sell the team, because
(12:35):
maybe maybe you should have known the team you don't
have If you're sitting here showing me your pockets are empty, Yeah,
we don't know what we can do. No, go spend
some money. Go get a couple of bats in and
or or go get another another pit whatever you need,
and go compete because you're a dead franchise. You are
an absolutely dead franchise that we pay attention to once
every fifth day because you have a guy that's fantastic. Right,
So before you get all this, well, we have this
(12:56):
and we're just a feeder team for the Yankees Up, No,
spend some money for the next couple of years. Don't
need to go and sign somebody to a Scott Morris
seven year, five hundred million dollar contract, but go sign
somebody for two years and fifty million. Sign a couple
of guys that way. There's players out there. You could
go get Luis Sevarino away from Sacramento because he doesn't
want to play in Sacramento anymore. He could be your
number two starting pitcher. There's guys out there. You can
(13:18):
spend money the next two years and do it. Go
do it, Pittsburgh. You had to put your money where
your mouth is. You don't want Paul Schemes to go.
Do you feel bad about No, Go put your money,
Go spend some money. Contract goes through the twenty twenty
nine season. The ace ups fable that you're getting into
the miser and his goal. Ah, very old moral of
the story that a possession is only as valuable as
(13:38):
the use we make of it, exactly. So get to
work again right now. It's a seventy to ninety two
piece of work that you have. But go, go get
some players, go improve and maybe hey, we've seen if
you're a five hundred team, you're contending for the playoffs
all the way through the end of August. Now you
have a couple of years with schemes you have, I mean,
(13:59):
now he wind up at some point saying I'm not
gonna play here anymore. You're trading me right now, in
which case then you're kind of stuck because then I'm
gonna hold out. I'm not gonna play it. But right now, yeah,
you have in control for a couple of years, So
go spend some cash. I spend treo more years. Based
on some quick quick research that the revenue share was
worth about one hundred and ten million dollars. Give it
(14:20):
all the skins, I mean sorry, give it all the
other guys. Give some to schemes three years to go
and spend money elsewhere. There's plenty of bargains. Go find
Jonah Hill and have him crunch some numbers. What's he
do gets on base? Okay, that could help, guys. I'm
gonna point at Mike Harmon again. If you don't tell
me what I want to, we'll do that. I'll let
my hair grow out and I'll then put on some weight.
(14:42):
I'll be that Jonah Hill character if I need to,
just so we can make this happen for Pittsburgh. It's
a lovely ballpark, a wonderful sports city. But yeah, and
to your point, and they show up every fifth day,
all right, Skeeds is going And even then, you're only
getting ten teams, ten to ten. It's a lot of
no decisions. And I mean we're looking at old records
(15:02):
of guys. How many decisions you at? Forty two?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Cool, but with the way baseball works anymore, you don't
have that. But yeah, you're getting a gift by the
way they've worked this out. Go actually spend that money.
Go bring in someone, sell off pieces of the team,
to bring in an infusion of cash, to try to
make it worth your while and actually be competitive. Because
we've watched the teams in that division, the EBB and flow,
(15:27):
there's no greatness on an annual basis. Milwaukee, you know,
you've got a manager of the Year a couple of times,
and they've done everything right farm system wise, Cubs run
up now and again, but the Cardinals have fallen on
hard times. There's opportunity to go with one or two players.
And as you say, if you're in contention in September
and you find yourself in a playoff scenario, guess what.
(15:50):
There you go skiing pitches the first game and all
of a sudden you're off in pacing. So yeah, you
got three years to figure it out. That's a long lead,
which means this is a daily occurrence. Do the math
for over a thousand days. Exit out about a Fresca
exit Swollowen done. Now, go spend money, Pittsburgh, you have it,
Go spend it. Go get a couple of guys at
least look like you want to win. Instead of saying,
(16:12):
well we have this, ad said we do not know.
Go to spend some cash. Go spend you have it,
you have it, or just go rebuild. Now, just be

Speaker 2 (18:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Season two of a very special blossom the game. You
had to go blossom on a very special blossom, Like,
I hate doing that, but that's like the default one
when you think of a very very special episode. Hey,
we want to show you that this sitcom is going
to do something that's important. We're going to tackle a
(18:42):
very important world subject. How about you just make me laugh,
you're a sitcom. No no, because the actors are really
upset and the rangers have said, hey, my guy wants
to leave this show to go do serious movies, wants
to leave television behind, wants to show that he could
actually act. So how about we do a very special
episode where like one of his friends dies of a
drug overdose, or you know, he gets in a car
(19:03):
accident and someone is fooling around behind the wheel, or
let's do something like that so he can really just
you know, get his acting chops out there. But you'll
see what he does. Oh, that's on a very special
episode of nine O two one zero. Ooh. Now you
just went down that whole Matthew Perry highway right there.
Then you got Gordon Jump and of course Uncle Ned
(19:25):
Tom Hanks hanging out with Alex P. Keaton. Yeah, I
liked Uncle Uncle. That was a great one, Uncle Ned. Yeah. Uh.
The game of the night in the NBA, well that
was the Pistons. Hopefully you watch the first half. I
don't believe you need to watch the second half. The
Thunder lead the Lakers at halftime seventy to thirty eight,
(19:47):
seventy to thirty eight, seventy thirty eight. Yeah, how it's going.
I mean the first four or five minutes it was fun. Yeah,
when they tipped off and Luca had a couple of buckets,
a couple of buck gets O. Well yeah, and it
was flowing early. Yeah, that was good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay,
guess what, hey, kids, we can we can uh, we
can watch season two, episode two of Pluribus tonight because
(20:10):
I don't need to watch the rest of the Laker game.
Let's go turn it on, catch it up again, you know,
rewatching Stranger Things ahead of the premier whatever it is. Yea. Yeah,
split screen experience, I think is what this game gets
relegated to, you know, for the second half. I will
say this before we get to the big NFL story
about Pluribus. Right, the big hot new show, Vince Gilligan's
first show since the Breaking Bad universe ended right better
(20:32):
in Breaking Bad. Yeah, she's the star. And I want
to say this, not that it's because I watched the
first episode. First episode is really good, right, but I
feel like they they promoted it differently from the reality
of the show. Okay, so they promote the show as
everybody in the world gets this virus of some kind
(20:55):
that makes them happy. And Ria Sehorn, whose character is
supposedly because they say this on the pro was the
most miserable person, the most unhappy, is the only one
who is not affected by this. So I'm like, Okay,
I'm expecting something really over the top and satirical but
still sort of sort of uh serious. But really, when
(21:15):
you when you promote it like that, you think, Okay,
it's gonna be some it's it's gonna have, you know,
a wink and a nod at you as well. And
instead what I've seen so far, I mean, there's elements
of of of of fun comedy in it, like you go, whoa, whoa,
but overall it's really a post apocalyptic show. And I'm like, wow,
and I really liked it because I'm watching this going okay,
(21:36):
am I really gonna like something that, hey, we're gonna
make it make a satire of of of a virus
and and and people being infected by it. But instead
it's it's so far it's it's really post apocalyptic, and
I'm like, I really like it, and I'm like, man,
it was I feel like they promoted it the wrong way.
And sometimes when you do that you can turn people off.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't know if I like it or not, like
I would if I didn't, wasn't gonna watch it. I
would need someone to tell me, Hey, no it's not
what you think it is. It's post apocalyptic. I know
you like that stuff. Yeah, okay, great, Yeah, well now
I'll watch it like I like. I don't. I don't
think it was it was marketed quite the right way.
This is the one kind of like we see with
film sometimes it's the fourth trailer that takes a decided
left turn. Nobody knew what the hell it was. Oh wait,
(22:20):
oh so it's kind of nice. Yeah, I'm not a
post apocalyptic guy, so I'll end up going back and
watching another iteration of something that looks or feels like
Downton Abbey. Oh the last The House of Guinness has
actually become one of my favorite. But I believe the
final chapter of Downtown Abbey is coming to theater soon.
I know it just came out. It's now available on Peacock.
(22:41):
So when when you're done watching the NBA game that
starts at eight o'clock Pacific, you can drift straight into
that or rerun a Bob a s for you the
two things you won't be seeing anymore after tonight, the
Lakers's Contenders in Downtown Abbey because now finished Downtown Abbey.
I was very sad, finished that it's over. Yeah, I
enjoyed that world. Okay, Paul Giamati hanging out. He's gonna
(23:04):
revisit Downton Abbey anytime you want them. Yeah, but it's
not gonna be fresh to me anymore. You can travel
to the UK and can visit all the sets and
walk around and have parasols and drink tea. Yeah, you
can do that. I'm sure I've already got that on
the books for summer of twenty seven. Yes, yeah, it's
drinking tea and drinking tea and using parasol. You can
do that tomorrow. No, no, no, but I mean I
got a pony up the cash to visit all those castles. Well,
(23:26):
and you're gonna need to hide somebody hurl or something,
and somebody to walk around next to you holding the
umbrella over your head. But only in the sun, not
in the rain. That's kind of cheap. There's a lot
of folks looking for a little bit of a well,
I'm just saying you, like fifteen bucks an hour. Maybe yeah,
I might might also have to, you know, dress him
in period pieces too, I mean completely might be right.
So the closes are gonna probably cost me as much
(23:46):
the Habitashery. Big change in the NFL today as Jackson
Dart will not start for the Giants on Sunday against
the Packers. He's in concussion protocol and when you're two
and eight, Mike Kafka taking over. Hey, no worry, I'm
not gonna put him out there to get hurt. Like
Dabel did outline that full on that Brian Dable got fired.
(24:10):
I don't know where you put it on the top
ten list, but it's there. I'm gonna learn from the
mistakes and the guy that just got fired two days ago.
No worry, we're not played. It's two or two and eight.
It's fine. I'm not gonna put him out there. Instead,
Jameis Winston will get the start for the Giants, not
Russell Wilson. Jameis Winston will get the start for the Giants. Again.
(24:33):
I'm surprised Russell Wilson is still in the Giants past
the deadline. They should have traded him. He's gonna end
his career in a big heavy coat on the sidelines
in December in the middle of snow. And that's not
how what you go for Russell Wilson. But Jameis Winston
is the starter and he's very happy, so happy that
he broke into song earlier today at the press conference
where he talked about his debut in the regular season
(24:56):
for the Giants coming up on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I'm on fans of No Data. I'm gonna do my best,
you know, optic. I'm going to have fun, but I'm
going to execute, have a surgical execution. Uh and just
and just play ball, man, Like this is something I've
been doing since I've been four years.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Old, and I just get to do it in the greatest.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
City in the world. I'm gonna be saying what my
son was.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
The greatest city in the world. Yeah, that's that's a
Hamilton reference.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
If y'all don't know a teen year reunion.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Sell, Sell, Sell, I want to talk about Hamilton ten
year union coming up. But you see my master's back
up Broadway, greatest city in the greatest city in the world.
I did that. I think he should have tried to
lead a single. See what of the beat reporters could,
uh said. I think he kind of did, and I
don't think anybody did.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, I mean, I'm sure there were one or two
people that kind of looked at him with side eye.
It's a Hamilton, right, Yeah, yeah, Jamis. We all know
it's it's all serious. It's been playing a Broadway for
like for like ten years now. We all know a Jamis.
We're just watching you because what I heard that with
you talking about all you did, what I heard was
start the Packers defense in fantasy. That's what I heard
from everything. You're saying, I'm gonna have fun, I'm gonna
(26:02):
do this, and you're singing Hamilton lyrics. Yeah, start the
Packers defense in Fantasy. Number one ranked defense in Fantasy
this week? Is that where you're going with that? That's what? Yeah,
Because you know Jamis is gonna throw three touchdowns, he's
gonna throw at least three interceptions. You're gonna get at
least one pick six. That's what Jameis Winston does. You're
going for a pick six. Oh yeah. So what you're
saying is Michael Parsons isn't just gonna have all right,
(26:24):
He's got a lot of pressures, but no sacks or hits,
because we've seen that a bunch of times. Ah, the pressures,
but there's no none of them. There's a bunch of
big and important. He's gonna want to hold onto the
football to make a play so long he's gonna no, No,
I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna wait. It's gonna be a
big day for the Packers defense. Now, look, Jamis is
like I said, he's gonna move the team. They're gonna
(26:45):
throw the football right, don't don't expect this to be
one of those Oh, the Packers are gonna win thirty
one to three type of defensive efforts with like eleven sacks,
four fumbles. No, it's gonna be you're gonna win. You're
gonna win thirty one to twenty. But you're gonna have
a pick six, You're gonna have three interceptions, You're gonna
have three or four side No, you'll have a good
day defensively. You start the Packers in fantasy. I'm stunned.
(27:07):
I got to pick him up today. I'm stunned. I said,
no one else is picking up the option. Can you kidding?
Jameis Winston starting? Yeah, give me the Packers defense man
certainly an option. I mean, they would have been a
top The fact that they were available at all is
kind of silly. But I suppose coming out of that
game against Philadelphia or going into it, perhaps if you're
not willing to carry that second defense for a week,
(27:29):
that you would have gone that route. But I'm excited
to see him play. I mean, Russell Wilson said all
the right things. I didn't. I don't want to be released.
This is where I want to be hyping up Jamis
as best he could. He didn't sing as far as
I'm aware, But all of that, for Jamis Winston, I'm
curious to see what he is. I'm still curious that
as to why no team came and tried to trade
(27:51):
for him. Forget about Russell Wilson, Like if I were
looking into the trade market and going all right, I'll
take a guy with who has shown a high ceiling
at times, he's got a very low floor. H So
you got a giant gap vaulted ceilings. But for Jamis Winston,
who's he throwing to. I mean it's a lot of
THEO Johnson singletary out of the backfield. Yeah, Darius Slayton,
(28:16):
Wondel Robinson Wandell, He's a target monster thrown at him
like fifty five times. And you know what, You'll take
the Giants to win the game. All who's he gonna
throw to? I'll take the Giants to win. I got
it all now. Clearly, TJ. Jamis Winston, due to his
(28:37):
press conference today, hoping that the Giants offense isn't helpless
on Sunday, TJ remind folks, that's another hand TJ. As
Mike Harmon referred to who will be his right hand
man in the offense on Sunday, TJ Jamis Winston hoping
to not throw away his shot against the Packers on Sunday. TJ.
(29:04):
Clearly jamis winning the game. That would be enough for
the Giants on Sunday. See how you're getting into those
sad songs like those will be the montage. As he's
getting ripped apart by Micah Parsons, Jamis says, hey, on Sunday,
I'll be in the room where it happens making plays
(29:26):
for New York. TJ. You two could be in the
room where it happens over under his forty three points,
the Packers a seven point road favorite in this one.
Jamis hoping the field and the world is wide enough
for him to find his receivers. On Sunday TJ. TJ.
(29:47):
It may be quiet uptown, but it will be loud
at MetLife On Sunday, DJ, did you get to the
world turned upside down? In the naming of a new
quarterback for the New York Giants? Be the easy one.
I mean, sometimes you got to take the low hanging fruit,
Jamis saying, Hey, Giants fans, I know we're losing, but
(30:08):
tune in again. You'll be back after we start winning.
On Sunday DJ, anybody that played for the Packers earlier
this year, that could be a Hercules Bulligan like character.
Jameis Winston hoping a win will be the story of
tonight in the NFL. TJ. You've sent the world into
(30:32):
a tizzy here with your Broadway knowledge and lin Manuel Miranda.
He thanks you. DJ. A lot of guns and ships
and interceptions on the docket for Jamis on Sunday TJ.
At some point, I just have to pull the plug
on this exercise. DJ. Let me just say this about Jamis.
(30:55):
One last time DJ, people were like, he's gotta be
running out of Hamilton. Oh, you can do this all night.
He's got to be running out like it's a three
hour musical. There's plenty of one liners to be had.
Will Jamis blow us all away on Sunday with his
quarterback performance, dj I will say this, you've gone now
(31:18):
through I think fourteen. That'll be enough. TJ. You could
write everything that Jamis has done for the Giants on
something the size of the Reynolds pamphlet. TJ. It's not
enough to have his teammates, but he hopes to have Washington,
Philadelphia and Dallas on his side as well later on
(31:42):
this year. DJ I don't even know how to respond anymore,
because you're gonna keep doing this. Ty Shirt hasn't played
you off yet. Hopefully, hopefully for Jamis, it will be
the Packers and Skylar defeated on Sunday at MetLife. That's
my last one. That's my last. He got sky Skyler defeated. No,
(32:02):
that's good. Sometimes it's just how it goes. There you go, okay,
So there we got. Jameis. Winston gave you a little
bit of Hamilton. He opened the door again. Smith not
only saw the crack the light shining and said, I'm
gonna go in there and I'm gonna lay it all
out one after another. Biggest thing to know. We listen
to Hamilton and start the Packers defense on Sunday. Start
(32:26):
him now. If Jamis had started his response to the
pressure with this, how does it? I mean, he would
have had everybody get used, exit up out a Fresco exit,
swollen down. The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. We got Jason Cole coming up next to
all the latest in the NFL, Philadelphia's dysfunction, will preview
(32:48):
TNF and more right here Fox.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Fox It's Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Oklahoma City, and the Laker is still going. Yeah,
running clock right now. Thunderlead at one O eight seventy
three with seven and a half to go in the
fourth quarter. Make it stop. Oh look, JJ Reddick has
done the right thing, and that's take all the big
Lakers starters out because they're losing by fifty. That sounds
(33:21):
like a foreshadowing or just anger. No, it's foreshadowing. Because
let me take you back to earlier tonight, an injury
that is just getting into our studios. Now. The Knicks
play in the second game of back to back nights. Okay,
didn't go their way. They lose to the Magic. I
love back to back, but we got to watch a
bit of that game, you know, as we were waiting
to come in and do the show here in the studio,
(33:44):
having a nice cup of coffee and some conversation watching
the Knicks. It was just last night that I said, Hey,
here's the job Mike Brown is doing with the Knicks.
The three biggest things were, what mcal Bridge is a
different player, Karl Anthony Town seems bought in, and he's
playing bench guys, right, Tibbs playing them, you know, five
guys and Josh Hart and that's it, right, guys are
(34:04):
getting big minutes. The Knicks are winning. They're figuring it
out right, Mike Brown, nice job. Well less than two
minutes ago tonight, the Knicks are getting boat raced by thirteen.
Not their night. They've never cut this game against the Magic.
They've been losing by thirteen the entire fourth quarter. Hey,
guess what, You're down by thirteen with less than two
minutes left to go. Time to get the guys off
the court, because when you don't, something like this will
(34:26):
happen to Jalen Brunson. Inside two minutes to go and
Brunson another foul drawn and he immediately grabs his right leg.
Oh boy, that right leg.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Oh man, Yeah, and Mike bron wants to get him out.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
He looks right to the Knicks bench after he cut out,
going right back back to the locker room to get
that looked at. Yeah, Knicks Radio on the call. Jalen
Brunson was seen leaving Madison Square guard on crutches in
a walking boot Yay, Mike Brown leaving it all now.
Brown wants to get him out of the game. You
(35:06):
get him out of the game earlier than that, not that, Oh,
if you had just done it a few seconds ago.
You have to know timing. But it's just you gotta
know when the night is not your night and you
get under three minutes, it's thirteen. You can't cut it
if you cut it to eight or seven. Okay, I
get it a little bit, but you gotta understand this
season is so long. It's the second night of back
to backs. Get your guys out. Brunston played a ton
(35:28):
of minutes last night. He played a ton of minutes tonight,
and he plays heavy minutes every night, or heavy minutes
for Jalen Brunson. There's no light night minutes for Jalen Brunson, right,
none of them. Every minute is a heavy minute. And
let's leave him in there with less than two minutes ago.
It's like Tibbs was coaching the team again. No, it
was still gonna leave him in, still gonna leave him in.
And now who knows where Jalen Brunton's gonna be, how
(35:50):
long he's hurt, how long he's out for like, but
under two minutes you're down by thirteen, he should have
been long out of the game. Heart of a champion man.
He thought he could overcome that deficit. He was gonna
get him to the century mark at that point. Go
back and watch it, and it actually exploded a little
a little bit worse so sixteen. But he said, we
got two minutes, we got two minutes we could make
(36:10):
this happen. Here's the problem. You run into Carter and
you lock legs and down you go. Carter immediately knew
it was like, oh, that was a bad transition. Probably
should have surrendered the bucket would be I guess his
assessment in it. As Brunson goes down to the court.
You can hear it just as they called it, of
(36:31):
oh oh whenever there's no words coming out, and it's
just excited utterances and the pained expression from your broadcasters.
You know it's bad.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
He did walk off under his own power, so you
got that going for you. You put him in the
boot preliminarily and precautionary measures. He missed fifteen games with
an ankle last year. And that's the other thing. It's like,
it's the second week of November. You are one of
the favorites to win a title, and you just had
(37:03):
Jason jump on board. But the Mike Brown express you
were going to build a whole float and everything, and
twenty four hours later you hate him. I mean really,
I want to know if somehow there was some sort
of weird science fiction thing and Tibbs was making the
call here, Mike Brown called to have him out, and
(37:24):
then tib said, you don't need to take him out
of this game. I don't need to take you out
of this game. You might be able to cut into
a thirteen point deficit in the final two minutes. We
could get into this thirteen point devisit the final two minutes.
You don't need to see his identification. We don't need
to see his identification. The boy can go about his business.
Boy can go about his business. Oh wait, it should
have taken him out of the game. I mean, come on, man,
(37:45):
I mean again, all of the evidence, second night of
back to backs, heavy minutes, you're losing by thirteen should
have been long gone, long gone out of the game
by then. Well, he's also a veteran that could just say, hey,
this is not this is not happening. I'm out. He's
got some owners There is some some ownership of all
of this in terms of playing through and knowing the
(38:06):
guy he is. He wants to play it to the
bitter end, thinking he could get over on him and
instead lock legs and down. He goes, Nick scn have
nice things. This is Mike Brown. This is on you,
Mike Brown, and you tips, because I know you had
a hand in this. At some point, you and Mike
Brown together. You did this together. Was the name of
the dude the Avengers that became just the brain in
the head and the computer that's tips. Coming up next,
(38:31):
we get back into a big story out of major
League Baseball. Fox
