Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today and The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmen Podcast.
Marshawn Lynch shows us who he really is. The Marshawn
Lynch Football Camp not for the faint of heart. This
has to be the year for the Dodgers to win
it all. Another walk off victory. What that's gonna mean
for October? Colin Kaepernick needs to move on. The Mets
are close to first place. The Jets play tonight. This
(00:21):
is an awesome day, Mike Harmon. Why is it always
got to be about you? Uh? White Sox go ahead,
go ahead, say something good. White Sox one. Yeah, bear
still exists. And I smoked some meat. No, you're out now?
You ran out? A I asked to excitement. I thought
(00:42):
you said, I'm all right spider. Yeah, no I did.
I did some nice art with my kid. I'm building
a big puzzle. Can I smoked some meat? Okay, okay,
are you done good? Yeah? Alright, alright, the best of
us right here we have to talk about Marshawn Lynch
is football cap. Yeah we do. It's it's it Merits
(01:02):
a nice big lung conversation because trust me, it is
about as insane as you expected to be anything involving
Marshawn Lynch. Back in in late July July, Marshawn Lynch
had a football camp called the Family First Camp in
the Seattle area. Now realize you'll hear this story and
then think back at the end and go, oh, I
(01:23):
see the irony of the whole Family First Camp. Now,
it's a football camp, just like any kids go to
football camp. And when they're in there, you know they're
they're early teens and in high school where they go
for days and they practice and they learn different things.
And Marshawn Lynch has this camp. Usually camps like this
are pretty expensive. Mars Shawn Lynch had a football camp
did not go very well. This videos were obtained by
(01:47):
TMZ and this controversy really takes you inside who Marshawn
Lynch is. A right many people who are watching their
kids take place in this football camp had just watched
him get very angry at some of the kids that
weren't following drills. He had them hitting and doing hitting
(02:08):
drills without equipment, without equipment, hitting without equipment, and if
they didn't do it right, and if they didn't do
it right, and if if they didn't do it right,
or they messed around in the drill. He made them run.
He cursed at them while he was making them work
(02:30):
out and run. So this is the basis of the conversation.
It's a camp. The kids are hitting each other doing
hitting drills with no equipment on. Marshawn Lynches cursing at
them and telling them to get out of the drill.
And before you think oh the Chris, no, no, you'll
hear Marshawn Lynch fully admitting to cursing these kids out.
(02:53):
What am I missing in this store? I'm missing? Oh,
the kids are nine years old. That's God's so that's
what I was missing. Nine years old. Marshawn Lynch has
them hitting and is cursing at them nine years old.
Marshawn Lynch, your campers are nine years old today. Why
are you cursing at them? Just talk and say nine
(03:15):
years old? This is a problem already. And luckily or unluckily,
one woman got really mad at Marshawn Lynch. And the
face of the field had stands and where TMCs count,
where the cameras are that that caught This was at
the top of like a little concourse level of where
there's there's rows of stands in a concourse level where
(03:37):
this woman who had just gone and confronted Marshawn Lynch
threw her son's shirt down at him. What are you doing?
You're cursing at him. You're making them hit all of
these things. She's up now at the top of the
concourse level. Marshawn Lynch comes running up to the top
to talk to her. Now, before we get to the sound,
I think my favorite part you have to see this
audio it's on TMC, is that he gets the top
(03:59):
of the concourse and he stops. He's out of breath
for a while. Yeah, he is who He's doing that
for a couple of sayds going hey, I'm wanted to
come up here? Who? Who wanted to talk to you
a little bit? Even the guy right up about forty
steps he's like, who got alright, let me for a
second more, hang on a second. We always see him
(04:20):
riding around in scooters and stuff, you know. Okay, that's
life of a coach, alright, alright, alright, alright, And then
he winds up talking to her, and the first thing
he does is ask if there's somebody else around he
can talk to, because he doesn't want to talk to
a woman. Is not a man here with you? Is
(04:45):
there a man here with you? I want to talk
to a man, is what he said. I want to
talk to me? That is? Is that everything you need
to know about Marshawn Lynch. Listen, I'm not going to
talk to a woman about this, but I'm his mother. Yell,
is there a man here? Because a man would understand
that I had to curse and kids that or nine
years old? I mean, really a man would understand this
that a man would a man, but you don't because
you're a woman. I mean, oh, oh my god. And
(05:07):
I'm glad that one woman said what what does that
have to do with anything? It's it's she's there for
her kid. It's a Is there a man here? I mean, really,
I need to talk to him? Man? Obviously I'm getting
nowhere with you. You are just a woman. So let's
just you know what. And he's looking around like, is
there somebody else gonna coup and go? Don't worry Marshawn. Yes,
mars Shawn, I'll talk sense into her, because wow, you're
(05:28):
a former NFL running back, You're a super world champion.
They should have given you the ball in the one
yard line. Yes, Marshawn, whatever you think. So that's the
first part about Marshawn Lynch. Is there a man around?
Is there a man? No? It's absolutely bewildering. And that's
all gets caught on tape. This has been percolating for weeks,
(05:48):
for what about a week and a half where this
is sitting the first when did it started coming out
over the weekend But there was no video, just some
of the hearsay and the discussion. And now you get
to this level of who takes their kids to the camps.
I've been to these camps participated, not not to where
the pros were there, but some of these camps as
(06:09):
a kid, there's it's it's moms are often times right
and and we certainly have a sensitivity to who's working
through getting kids to and from. I mean, you have
the term soccer moms as a as a line for
a reason. We were talking about this a little bit
earlier today, my daughter or not. It's like that's just
(06:31):
historically how things operated. You know, dad, the husband or
father or father figure is at work whatever. Like mar
Shawn Lynch kind of has to understand that to a degree.
Take the whole thing. You know, I go just to
(06:52):
the nuts and bolts about who's getting folks around and
schedules and all. But then we go inside the family
dynamic because I thought I can make the man understand
that it's not gonna understand taking it that that other sexist,
ridiculous route of you'll understand why I have them hitting
with with no pad do You'll understand why I cursed
(07:13):
them out? No, no, no, they're they're they're nine, they're
five years away from being able to. You can't curse
out kids like that until they get to high school.
You're talking about nine year You don't get you don't
do that anymore. You don't get how I grew up.
This was what happened. But you know what I mean, Marsha,
which is just a different Yeah, I grew up this way.
(07:38):
So that's that. No, that's not how celebrity camp. I know.
I know a coach. I'm gonna curse out brand pitch kid.
I'm gonna curse out Vince Vaughan's kid doesn't have kids.
But you know, I mean this delivery man, that's true.
He was, Yes, he was, he was, and did he
have kids? And no, no, he didn't have No. No,
I don't think he's ever done a movie where he's
(07:59):
had kids up for that one, has he I think
he has. I didn't have kids in Lost World and
have kids and made swingers. I didn't have kids. No,
I don't think he has. How about that? It's like
it's like Mark Wahlberg in the movie where he doesn't
have a Boston accent. I was watching Gambler The Gambler
Today a little bit earlier with him and early Bree Larson,
(08:22):
Tony Poteen, John Gooden, where uh, you know, he's he's
a college professor. That's always fun, but he's also got
a huge gambling problem. Jessica Lang is in it. I
mean a good cast, not a very good movie, as
you might surmise. So one and a half stars from
Mike Harmon, that's it. But yes, I don't know that
there's any kids in the filmography of Vince Forum. So
(08:43):
this is where we're at. Marshaw Lynch runs a camp.
He has kids hitting without equipment, cursing at them, and
then when a woman has a problem with it, asks
if there's a man I can talk to. This is
like the most cliche thing that I would expect to
see in the worst B movie, But this is Mark
Shawn Lynch in real life. We haven't even gotten the
best part yet. But wait, there's more, because the woman
(09:05):
in question wants to question Marshawn Lynches strategy and philosophy
of being able to curse at the kids and punish
them that way. Now, the camera that's recording all of this,
you would think Marshawn Lynch would want to grab and destroy,
but no, instead he says, bring that camera close so
you can understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. Here's
Marshawn Lynch in this whole thing going on. He understands
(09:28):
this is a cell phone. This is gonna get out.
They're gonna send this video somewhere. So I want to
explain myself, which is pretty good presence of mind. No good,
go up and explain yourself after you catch your breath
from running. Yes, but then this is how he explained himself.
If it takes that amount of time for when I
tell the kid to do something and they're not doing
what they're supposed to do, then there as consequences like
(09:50):
push ups, like running laps, like telling them to get
out of my drill if they're not participating m Audrille
or whatever it takes to get drill, because there's blunt
kids out there. Oh yeah no, and I'll tell him
(10:11):
get the blank out of my drill. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, No,
these are nine year old kids. I'll curts at him.
No I did that, Yeah that was me. You know,
he could have done it, he said, she said, I
never said. I never called a kid a name. I
may have cursed a little bit. Oh no, no, I
get the blank out of my No, there is that. Yeah,
I mean he was honest. That's like the guy standing
(10:32):
up in court and the judge about to go, well,
the defense finds you, you know what, I did it,
your honor, and I did it. I did it. I'm sorry,
I can't, I I can't. I did it. I did it.
I'm gonna be honest. Well, I mean, was he gonna do?
Deny it? He's and you hear how out of breath
he is running, struggling, he's got in game shape. And
(10:58):
maybe I was affected for just big the camp explain
myself quite like this. Yeah it is something next level
that is completely next level, that is completely next level. Yeah,
but he owned it. Look I'm cursing Adam, I'm kicking
him out of my now. Now, you know, all Marshall
Lynch forever was all look how misunderstood he is, and
(11:20):
he's fun, and he was able to ride the line
because you knew this is kind of what he was like.
But still he was able to keep just enough of
it away from all of us. And we were like, oh, look,
how cool marsha is. Look how much we like and look,
and then he comes up. Is there a man around?
And oh yeah, I'll curse out nine year old kids. Okay,
now you get to play out of my drill. You
(11:40):
nine year old? What are you in fourth grade? Huh?
You should know better than that. By now, I mean really,
this is Marshawn Lynch for everybody who wants to point
to different athletes and when they're kind of half and
half right, like, they do some good things, to do
some bad things. Sometimes we just want to just push
(12:02):
away the bad stuff because well, they do all these
other good things and no, all of it is part
of who they are. You can do really good things,
you can also do really crappy things, and that makes
you someone who's really crappy. Doesn't if you're not a
good person that does bad things. You could be a
bad person that sometimes does good things. It's like when
I watch Sons of Anarchy, Jeez, the good but sixt
my god, they're burning people in other and other motorcycle
(12:25):
gangs and just you know, killing everybody because they feel
like it, you know. But okay, but they do other
good things, so it's okay. I mean, sometimes people we
don't realize that people are very complicated and they're not
all good. They're not all bad. You can't just ignore
the bad stuff somebody does. You also can't just ignore
the good stuff somebody does. But this is a case
(12:45):
of Marshall Lynch, who got a great run of publicity
late in his career, who has given a pass for
many things. And now you see this and you realize, okay,
that's all. Because as soon as I brought this up
to my wife, as soon as Marshall Lynch, I I
played her the SoundBite of is there a manner out?
She said, oh, but I said that tells you Marshall
Lynches And she said, exactly, that's exactly who he is. Yeah,
(13:06):
because the pushing the kids hard, cursing at them. Look,
I I experienced a lot of that ask it. I'm
sure you did as well, but different times. Then just
because it quote worked back in the day doesn't mean
a it's accepted. I mean that it was the right
thing to do. So you have that, and and certainly
from our Shawn Lynch, he'd done a great run of
(13:30):
rehabilitating his image and went out a hero. Right the
even I'm here so I don't get fined became a
mantra and kind of a laughing, laughing and comedic element
to everything versus what guys normally get when they don't
want to answer questions at press conferences. Right because even
(13:50):
Bill Belichick and Gregg Popovitch, the it's cute stopped being
such for many media members a long time ago. I decided,
you know, if they're gonna play the game, and we
decided to cover it. That's what it is. Same thing
was from mar Shawn Lynch as you went. But now
you have this incident, and be curiously if any other
videos start to surface, not that there will be any
(14:11):
other confrontations that show up, but if we pick up
any more of the audio or video of the practices himself,
because that that might be as disturbing when it's all said,
look is there a man? I want to talk to him? Man,
all right, I want to talk to you. I want
to talk to him. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
(14:34):
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app. We saw something today
that I really hope everybody is appreciating the insanity that
comes with every Dodger game when the Dodgers bat in
the ninth thenning at home, because it seems like it's
only ten, but I feel like the Dodgers have like
(14:56):
thirty walk off win. Sure sure when it I saw
the graphic go up that it was only their tenth,
I was absolutely shocked, Like weeks five and in a
two week pa, wasn't it three straight days of a week.
It was like Will Smith right, maximum was on these
heroes and guys popping out of the weeds too to
(15:17):
find their way to glory. Absolutely, I mean ginger guard
pitch today, Dustin May was pretty good. Uh went five
and two thirds innings, only gave up Uh, I didn't
give up an earn run today and the Dodgers down
one in the ninth inning. But it doesn't matter whatever
the Dodgers are down in the ninth he'll he'll come
through and to the Martin Brown ball up the middle
(15:39):
in the center Peel Crow base hit here, crem Seeger
and here Clem stif and the Dodgers have won it
again in the bottom of the night. Charlie stein or
A and five seventy l A Sports on the call.
I mean, I mean it every It's every day the
Dodgers have a walk off win. And there's the school
of thought that I can already hear people saying, well,
(16:02):
you keep relying on that by the time you get
to October, you can't just think they're gonna suddenly win
every game. But I see it differently because I see
when you get to October and the game gets to
the ninth inning and a team is trying to protect
a one run lead, it's in the back of their
heads they know, you know what, the Dodgers win games
(16:23):
like this all the time. And the Dodgers know, hey,
we've done this so many times this year, this is
gonna happen. We just didn't. Don't nobody panic, this is
gonna happen. And the team you're playing against realizes stadiums
going crazy. They're all expecting something good to happen, and
maybe you're a little too fine with your first couple
of pitches. You wind up walking the lead off batter
(16:44):
that turns into a stolen base or a sacrifice, and
then there's a double, and then suddenly the game is
tied and the winning run is on second. You can't
discount how important it is and what kind of intangible
that is. When a team knows we can walk off
no matter what the score is, and the opponent no,
they can walk off at any time, and you get tight,
you get nervous, because that's just the nature of the beast.
(17:05):
You know, you're not just gonna walk into the ninth
thing and Dodger Stadium and go it doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter. Now everybody knows, everybody is human. Everybody knows
the Dodgers are doing when they play at home. If
they're down a run, if it's tied, if they're down
three runs, just doesn't matter. Well, they don't, they don't stop.
I mean, that's one of the things that even outside,
if you're not a Dodger fan, you still have to
appreciate what this team has been and you have to
(17:27):
scratch your head as to how every guy that gets
plugged in seems to have been plugged in into the
right spot, even when they're changing guys positions, and defensively,
it's like, oh, he hasn't played there. Now it doesn't matter.
He's now, He's not a liability at all. Offensively, everybody
has found their strides and certainly at home their forty
(17:47):
six and bleep and fifteen. I mean, just an absurd
level of efficiency, which means all fifty thousand plus are
there until the end of games. There's no leaving early
because the dramatic come from behind victories and those Hollywood
moments have been plentiful. That's a lot of people in
there like because they want to leave earlier. They want
(18:09):
to leave. I want you don't want to stand for
the for the seventh inning stretch and I want to
leave and get now. I gotta on the ninth inning,
wait till the end. Got to celebrate the whole thing
and run differential of one three. I think the one
area of concern that folks haven't even though the bullpens
righted itself right, there's been an awful lot of of
(18:30):
things written by as and you know, all your relievers
that everybody was so nervous about early in the season,
that's all right at itself. All those numbers have come
back into the the proper era area of your e
r A. And and just being able to get your
holes because you gotta get your holds in. Uh, no
(18:51):
question about that. And even even the much maligned Joe Kelly,
let's talk about said June one, he's had a sub
too e r A with a heavy stripe account total.
She got that rolling for you. I think that the
one thing that does concern Dodger fans to a degree
and has baseball on the edge of their seat, going, Okay,
we'll see in October, right, do those hits show? And
(19:12):
and like we talked about having players with playoff experience
and that tested and showing showing their metal in big moments.
Certainly the Dodgers have plenty of those guys and they've
been in those spots. But the fear is that you
have that third October issue and suddenly, you know, as
we've talked about in the past, you're you're being compared
(19:34):
to the bills. So that that certainly runs in that
baseball being a game of of averages and things evening
themselves out, that at some point that heroic hit in
the ninth doesn't rear its head and suddenly, even though
it's a nail by or close game, that they're on
the downside of it. I think that's where Dodger fans,
(19:55):
given the hate recent history, have a little bit of
nervousness that might be justified. As I say, if the
Dodgers don't win the World Series this year, what are
they going to do it? This is their year. Be
sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
It also looks like it could be the year if
Colin Kaepernick has his way and he comes out of retirement,
(20:18):
well not really retirement, forest retirement. Kaepernick putting out on
his Twitter account earlier today a video which begins with
him with the video saying he has been denied work
for eight eighty nine days, and then goes into Colin
Kaepernick working out and as he writes, five am every day,
five days a week for the past three years, he's
(20:40):
still working out, still wants to come back to the
National Football League. Colin Kaepernick has to realize it's over.
He still has not, and honestly, he just has to stop.
He's got to stop with the I'm being denied work
part of it. All Right, this storyline reared its head
for a year and a half. Colin cap Nick is
(21:00):
blackballed from the National Football League. And there are people
who would stand up and defend it like they're defending
a loved one who is about to be sent off
to the greatest parts of Antarctica, never to be seen again.
Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed. And what did I say
the entire time? If he's being blackballed, It'll get out.
(21:20):
It'll get out. There will be somebody who will say,
I have emails. There will be somebody who is upset
they were fired from a team, saying I was in
for a conversation. I was here for this. We would
have known. Kaepernick sued the NFL. They were going to court.
He was going to go through and expose everything, right,
because that's who Colin Kaepernick was. Colin Kaepernick was the
(21:41):
idol everybody thought he is, and he was gonna go
and expose everybody. And he was gonna say, everybody is
black balling me, and I have all the proof. And
then what happens, Oh, he settles with the NFL for
less than ten million dollars, settles for money, and walks away.
And now that he decided to settle instead of proving
because it was such a big deal he was black balled,
(22:02):
I'm gonna go prove it. But now I'm gonna settle.
Why do you settle if you if you're you got
the proof, right, you got the proof, you're black balled,
So why don't you go all the way through it.
You get more money, you get what you want, you
get everything you want. But no, I settled for ten
million dollars. And that's the question, right, what was that settlement? Right?
Because it was rumored initially that it was some forty
fifty million dollars. I was just made up who wanted
(22:24):
to wanted to say, see local courts comed capite Cup paid.
I would take fifty million dollars less than ten time, right.
It would have been higher level quarterback money for two
to three years, is what was rumored. And then it
started leaking that the likely payout was somewhere between eight
and ten million dollars and so you you filed the grievance,
(22:47):
you sued the league, and nothing came out. I mean
that's that's the hard part, right in a in a
league where we get leaks. I mean, you've got coaches
now on record, Freddie Kitchens and he leaks, I'm firing y'all.
But everything gets out out, even the cockamami Antonio Brown
cryotherapy thing, that that got out very fast. Oh he's
got bad feet. I mean, what the hell did he
(23:09):
do to his feet? Put it? Ony's hobbling around, But
he showed the feet. He didn't have to cop to cryotherapy.
That that that's what the raiders, that what he would
agree to. Right. But in this case, if you're talking
about a league wide conspiracy and agreement, there's got to
I mean, how many coaches have lost jobs, how many
(23:30):
people have been taken out of meeting rooms and their
playbooks taken away, digital copies and iPads or whatever else,
someone would have said something at this point. It doesn't
mean it doesn't mean you didn't have some teams that
flat out said, look, I'm not doing it and I'm
not getting involved, right, and you didn't know we're going
for a full league. You were saying, the NFL is black,
(23:52):
but I'm gonna blow the lid off of this and instead, oh,
I'll take a settlement of less than ten millions. Now,
why would the NFL do it? Probably, I'm not going
to make excuse for it. Probably things would come up
in discovery that they wouldn't be proud of. I wouldn't
want out there, certainly, But also from a cost perspective,
with the amount of lawyers and billable hours. Get involved
(24:14):
with a lawyer for five all of you know, all
of you out there you're in with in with legal
at all. You know that that can start to rack
up on you, There's no question about it. So you
start doing a cost benefit analysis as well, not just
what might show up that has nothing to do with
the Kaepernick case at all but is discovered on a
cell phone or an email thread, but also the fact
(24:36):
that you're talking about tons of time, man hours and
billable hours that you finally just come to a cost
and figure out, I, from our our tables, what what
is this worth to us to make it a done deal?
And that's where they got to and certainly Kaepernick and
his representatives they agreed to it. And all of that
(24:56):
is stuff we have talked about. But now to come
out again and say, eighty nine days I've been denied work,
Just stop, dude, just stop. You took a payout, you
took money, all right, You could have proven your case.
You could have proved got everybody wrong, could have proven
this guy wrong, everybody wrong. But no, now it's oh yeah,
still being denied work. Dude. Come on, man, you just
(25:16):
gotta stop with this. You just have to stop. Look,
we talked about it earlier in the show. When it
comes to people like Marshawn Lynch. Is everything Marshawn Lynch
does great? No, he does some bad things. What he
did his football camp with something we're gonna get into
the next hour on the show again was pretty bad.
Is everything Colin Kaepernick did bad? No? Did you do
some really good things? Of course he does. But you
(25:38):
can't talk about one part without talking about the other.
You can't just ignore one part of things. Colin Kaepernick
has done some really good things. He's also done some
really bad things. And this is a case of now
you want to play the victim again that you've been
shut out when you had your chance to prove to everybody,
(26:00):
and now you still want to go, yeah, I got
pat being denied work being just just stop man. Colin
Kaepernick is what you would I would call a false idol,
someone who you think he stands for something and he
really stands for other things. Look when he brought the
kneeling during the national anthem to our country's attention, it
was a big deal. It was a great debate because
(26:21):
it was about the treatment of black people at the
hands of white police officers, and we had to have
that conversation that had to go on, that had to happen.
Things things were happening, It still happened. That are that
our conversations that we have to have that and that
was important what he did, But he's also done some
other things that really hasn't put anything and made it better.
(26:43):
Does he really need to wear pig socks of of
police officers who nine point nine police officers in the
country do great things. But no, I'm going to use
my platform to do this. He's both. And now when
every he wanted to stand up and say this is
who Colin Kaepernick is, No, he's a guy that took
the money. He took the money when he had a
(27:05):
chance to say, all right, you're all behind me, I'm
gonna blow the doors off of everything. I'm gonna I'm
gonna tell everybody what's going on in the NFL. I
was black balled other players. Oh well, I took the
money at the end, okay, and now hey, I'm still
being but no, stop, you just gotta stop going a
different direction, do something. He got pushed into this and
he wasn't ready. So he did probably the best job
(27:25):
he thought he could in trying to lead a movement.
But he's been silent, he's not been working, he's not
been in the NFL. He could have been a huge
leader of continue to be a huge leader of this movement,
but instead he has been invisible on a national stage
for the better part of three years when he could
have been doing we could have been doing more. So
realize it's not just I'm not anti Colin Kaepernick. It's
(27:47):
you have to talk about Colin Kaepernick and be fair,
and we talk about the good things, and you can't
just brush away the bad things because you don't want
to talk about him. I mean, that's the way you
gotta be fair on when when we talk about players,
and that's what we've done with him. Well, you pull
in the the whole discussion we had the Bashati and
ray Lewis photo. I mean, just go on down the
line that his girlfriend comparing him to a slave owner,
(28:09):
and it's the tie directly, and it goes into into
a lot of it. And going back to his quarterback play.
Does anybody believe some of these players have been signed
were necessarily better than he was back in No, but
there's a lot that goes to it in terms of
employment beyond would you be a third stringer? Well, every
(28:30):
time a fourth stringer got signed, I was, here's another
quarterback who got a job. Is Colin Kaepernick gonna take
a job for a week with a team who needs
a camp arm and the guy's gonna get waived? Of
course not. You can't just throw a guy out there
getting signed and say, oh, Kack better became part of
the list. Here are the number of players that have
been signed. And now you're more than two years removed
from from last throwing a football, and yet the conversation continues.

Today and The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmen Podcast.
Marshawn Lynch shows us who he really is. The Marshawn
Lynch Football Camp not for the faint of heart. This
has to be the year for the Dodgers to win
it all. Another walk off victory. What that's gonna mean
for October? Colin Kaepernick needs to move on. The Mets
are close to first place. The Jets play tonight. This
(00:21):
is an awesome day, Mike Harmon. Why is it always
got to be about you? Uh? White Sox go ahead,
go ahead, say something good. White Sox one. Yeah, bear
still exists. And I smoked some meat. No, you're out now?
You ran out? A I asked to excitement. I thought
(00:42):
you said, I'm all right spider. Yeah, no I did.
I did some nice art with my kid. I'm building
a big puzzle. Can I smoked some meat? Okay, okay,
are you done good? Yeah? Alright, alright, the best of
us right here we have to talk about Marshawn Lynch
is football cap. Yeah we do. It's it's it Merits
(01:02):
a nice big lung conversation because trust me, it is
about as insane as you expected to be anything involving
Marshawn Lynch. Back in in late July July, Marshawn Lynch
had a football camp called the Family First Camp in
the Seattle area. Now realize you'll hear this story and
then think back at the end and go, oh, I
(01:23):
see the irony of the whole Family First Camp. Now,
it's a football camp, just like any kids go to
football camp. And when they're in there, you know they're
they're early teens and in high school where they go
for days and they practice and they learn different things.
And Marshawn Lynch has this camp. Usually camps like this
are pretty expensive. Mars Shawn Lynch had a football camp
did not go very well. This videos were obtained by
(01:47):
TMZ and this controversy really takes you inside who Marshawn
Lynch is. A right many people who are watching their
kids take place in this football camp had just watched
him get very angry at some of the kids that
weren't following drills. He had them hitting and doing hitting
(02:08):
drills without equipment, without equipment, hitting without equipment, and if
they didn't do it right, and if they didn't do
it right, and if if they didn't do it right,
or they messed around in the drill. He made them run.
He cursed at them while he was making them work
(02:30):
out and run. So this is the basis of the conversation.
It's a camp. The kids are hitting each other doing
hitting drills with no equipment on. Marshawn Lynches cursing at
them and telling them to get out of the drill.
And before you think oh the Chris, no, no, you'll
hear Marshawn Lynch fully admitting to cursing these kids out.
(02:53):
What am I missing in this store? I'm missing? Oh,
the kids are nine years old. That's God's so that's
what I was missing. Nine years old. Marshawn Lynch has
them hitting and is cursing at them nine years old.
Marshawn Lynch, your campers are nine years old today. Why
are you cursing at them? Just talk and say nine
(03:15):
years old? This is a problem already. And luckily or unluckily,
one woman got really mad at Marshawn Lynch. And the
face of the field had stands and where TMCs count,
where the cameras are that that caught This was at
the top of like a little concourse level of where
there's there's rows of stands in a concourse level where
(03:37):
this woman who had just gone and confronted Marshawn Lynch
threw her son's shirt down at him. What are you doing?
You're cursing at him. You're making them hit all of
these things. She's up now at the top of the
concourse level. Marshawn Lynch comes running up to the top
to talk to her. Now, before we get to the sound,
I think my favorite part you have to see this
audio it's on TMC, is that he gets the top
(03:59):
of the concourse and he stops. He's out of breath
for a while. Yeah, he is who He's doing that
for a couple of sayds going hey, I'm wanted to
come up here? Who? Who wanted to talk to you
a little bit? Even the guy right up about forty
steps he's like, who got alright, let me for a
second more, hang on a second. We always see him
(04:20):
riding around in scooters and stuff, you know. Okay, that's
life of a coach, alright, alright, alright, alright, And then
he winds up talking to her, and the first thing
he does is ask if there's somebody else around he
can talk to, because he doesn't want to talk to
a woman. Is not a man here with you? Is
(04:45):
there a man here with you? I want to talk
to a man, is what he said. I want to
talk to me? That is? Is that everything you need
to know about Marshawn Lynch. Listen, I'm not going to
talk to a woman about this, but I'm his mother. Yell,
is there a man here? Because a man would understand
that I had to curse and kids that or nine
years old? I mean, really a man would understand this
that a man would a man, but you don't because
you're a woman. I mean, oh, oh my god. And
(05:07):
I'm glad that one woman said what what does that
have to do with anything? It's it's she's there for
her kid. It's a Is there a man here? I mean, really,
I need to talk to him? Man? Obviously I'm getting
nowhere with you. You are just a woman. So let's
just you know what. And he's looking around like, is
there somebody else gonna coup and go? Don't worry Marshawn. Yes,
mars Shawn, I'll talk sense into her, because wow, you're
(05:28):
a former NFL running back, You're a super world champion.
They should have given you the ball in the one
yard line. Yes, Marshawn, whatever you think. So that's the
first part about Marshawn Lynch. Is there a man around?
Is there a man? No? It's absolutely bewildering. And that's
all gets caught on tape. This has been percolating for weeks,
(05:48):
for what about a week and a half where this
is sitting the first when did it started coming out
over the weekend But there was no video, just some
of the hearsay and the discussion. And now you get
to this level of who takes their kids to the camps.
I've been to these camps participated, not not to where
the pros were there, but some of these camps as
(06:09):
a kid, there's it's it's moms are often times right
and and we certainly have a sensitivity to who's working
through getting kids to and from. I mean, you have
the term soccer moms as a as a line for
a reason. We were talking about this a little bit
earlier today, my daughter or not. It's like that's just
(06:31):
historically how things operated. You know, dad, the husband or
father or father figure is at work whatever. Like mar
Shawn Lynch kind of has to understand that to a degree.
Take the whole thing. You know, I go just to
(06:52):
the nuts and bolts about who's getting folks around and
schedules and all. But then we go inside the family
dynamic because I thought I can make the man understand
that it's not gonna understand taking it that that other sexist,
ridiculous route of you'll understand why I have them hitting
with with no pad do You'll understand why I cursed
(07:13):
them out? No, no, no, they're they're they're nine, they're
five years away from being able to. You can't curse
out kids like that until they get to high school.
You're talking about nine year You don't get you don't
do that anymore. You don't get how I grew up.
This was what happened. But you know what I mean, Marsha,
which is just a different Yeah, I grew up this way.
(07:38):
So that's that. No, that's not how celebrity camp. I know.
I know a coach. I'm gonna curse out brand pitch kid.
I'm gonna curse out Vince Vaughan's kid doesn't have kids.
But you know, I mean this delivery man, that's true.
He was, Yes, he was, he was, and did he
have kids? And no, no, he didn't have No. No,
I don't think he's ever done a movie where he's
(07:59):
had kids up for that one, has he I think
he has. I didn't have kids in Lost World and
have kids and made swingers. I didn't have kids. No,
I don't think he has. How about that? It's like
it's like Mark Wahlberg in the movie where he doesn't
have a Boston accent. I was watching Gambler The Gambler
Today a little bit earlier with him and early Bree Larson,
(08:22):
Tony Poteen, John Gooden, where uh, you know, he's he's
a college professor. That's always fun, but he's also got
a huge gambling problem. Jessica Lang is in it. I
mean a good cast, not a very good movie, as
you might surmise. So one and a half stars from
Mike Harmon, that's it. But yes, I don't know that
there's any kids in the filmography of Vince Forum. So
(08:43):
this is where we're at. Marshaw Lynch runs a camp.
He has kids hitting without equipment, cursing at them, and
then when a woman has a problem with it, asks
if there's a man I can talk to. This is
like the most cliche thing that I would expect to
see in the worst B movie, But this is Mark
Shawn Lynch in real life. We haven't even gotten the
best part yet. But wait, there's more, because the woman
(09:05):
in question wants to question Marshawn Lynches strategy and philosophy
of being able to curse at the kids and punish
them that way. Now, the camera that's recording all of this,
you would think Marshawn Lynch would want to grab and destroy,
but no, instead he says, bring that camera close so
you can understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. Here's
Marshawn Lynch in this whole thing going on. He understands
(09:28):
this is a cell phone. This is gonna get out.
They're gonna send this video somewhere. So I want to
explain myself, which is pretty good presence of mind. No good,
go up and explain yourself after you catch your breath
from running. Yes, but then this is how he explained himself.
If it takes that amount of time for when I
tell the kid to do something and they're not doing
what they're supposed to do, then there as consequences like
(09:50):
push ups, like running laps, like telling them to get
out of my drill if they're not participating m Audrille
or whatever it takes to get drill, because there's blunt
kids out there. Oh yeah no, and I'll tell him
(10:11):
get the blank out of my drill. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, No,
these are nine year old kids. I'll curts at him.
No I did that, Yeah that was me. You know,
he could have done it, he said, she said, I
never said. I never called a kid a name. I
may have cursed a little bit. Oh no, no, I
get the blank out of my No, there is that. Yeah,
I mean he was honest. That's like the guy standing
(10:32):
up in court and the judge about to go, well,
the defense finds you, you know what, I did it,
your honor, and I did it. I did it. I'm sorry,
I can't, I I can't. I did it. I did it.
I'm gonna be honest. Well, I mean, was he gonna do?
Deny it? He's and you hear how out of breath
he is running, struggling, he's got in game shape. And
(10:58):
maybe I was affected for just big the camp explain
myself quite like this. Yeah it is something next level
that is completely next level, that is completely next level. Yeah,
but he owned it. Look I'm cursing Adam, I'm kicking
him out of my now. Now, you know, all Marshall
Lynch forever was all look how misunderstood he is, and
(11:20):
he's fun, and he was able to ride the line
because you knew this is kind of what he was like.
But still he was able to keep just enough of
it away from all of us. And we were like, oh, look,
how cool marsha is. Look how much we like and look,
and then he comes up. Is there a man around?
And oh yeah, I'll curse out nine year old kids. Okay,
now you get to play out of my drill. You
(11:40):
nine year old? What are you in fourth grade? Huh?
You should know better than that. By now, I mean really,
this is Marshawn Lynch for everybody who wants to point
to different athletes and when they're kind of half and
half right, like, they do some good things, to do
some bad things. Sometimes we just want to just push
(12:02):
away the bad stuff because well, they do all these
other good things and no, all of it is part
of who they are. You can do really good things,
you can also do really crappy things, and that makes
you someone who's really crappy. Doesn't if you're not a
good person that does bad things. You could be a
bad person that sometimes does good things. It's like when
I watch Sons of Anarchy, Jeez, the good but sixt
my god, they're burning people in other and other motorcycle
(12:25):
gangs and just you know, killing everybody because they feel
like it, you know. But okay, but they do other
good things, so it's okay. I mean, sometimes people we
don't realize that people are very complicated and they're not
all good. They're not all bad. You can't just ignore
the bad stuff somebody does. You also can't just ignore
the good stuff somebody does. But this is a case
(12:45):
of Marshall Lynch, who got a great run of publicity
late in his career, who has given a pass for
many things. And now you see this and you realize, okay,
that's all. Because as soon as I brought this up
to my wife, as soon as Marshall Lynch, I I
played her the SoundBite of is there a manner out?
She said, oh, but I said that tells you Marshall
Lynches And she said, exactly, that's exactly who he is. Yeah,
(13:06):
because the pushing the kids hard, cursing at them. Look,
I I experienced a lot of that ask it. I'm
sure you did as well, but different times. Then just
because it quote worked back in the day doesn't mean
a it's accepted. I mean that it was the right
thing to do. So you have that, and and certainly
from our Shawn Lynch, he'd done a great run of
(13:30):
rehabilitating his image and went out a hero. Right the
even I'm here so I don't get fined became a
mantra and kind of a laughing, laughing and comedic element
to everything versus what guys normally get when they don't
want to answer questions at press conferences. Right because even
(13:50):
Bill Belichick and Gregg Popovitch, the it's cute stopped being
such for many media members a long time ago. I decided,
you know, if they're gonna play the game, and we
decided to cover it. That's what it is. Same thing
was from mar Shawn Lynch as you went. But now
you have this incident, and be curiously if any other
videos start to surface, not that there will be any
(14:11):
other confrontations that show up, but if we pick up
any more of the audio or video of the practices himself,
because that that might be as disturbing when it's all said,
look is there a man? I want to talk to him? Man,
all right, I want to talk to you. I want
to talk to him. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
(14:34):
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the I Heart Radio app. We saw something today
that I really hope everybody is appreciating the insanity that
comes with every Dodger game when the Dodgers bat in
the ninth thenning at home, because it seems like it's
only ten, but I feel like the Dodgers have like
(14:56):
thirty walk off win. Sure sure when it I saw
the graphic go up that it was only their tenth,
I was absolutely shocked, Like weeks five and in a
two week pa, wasn't it three straight days of a week.
It was like Will Smith right, maximum was on these
heroes and guys popping out of the weeds too to
(15:17):
find their way to glory. Absolutely, I mean ginger guard
pitch today, Dustin May was pretty good. Uh went five
and two thirds innings, only gave up Uh, I didn't
give up an earn run today and the Dodgers down
one in the ninth inning. But it doesn't matter whatever
the Dodgers are down in the ninth he'll he'll come
through and to the Martin Brown ball up the middle
(15:39):
in the center Peel Crow base hit here, crem Seeger
and here Clem stif and the Dodgers have won it
again in the bottom of the night. Charlie stein or
A and five seventy l A Sports on the call.
I mean, I mean it every It's every day the
Dodgers have a walk off win. And there's the school
of thought that I can already hear people saying, well,
(16:02):
you keep relying on that by the time you get
to October, you can't just think they're gonna suddenly win
every game. But I see it differently because I see
when you get to October and the game gets to
the ninth inning and a team is trying to protect
a one run lead, it's in the back of their
heads they know, you know what, the Dodgers win games
(16:23):
like this all the time. And the Dodgers know, hey,
we've done this so many times this year, this is
gonna happen. We just didn't. Don't nobody panic, this is
gonna happen. And the team you're playing against realizes stadiums
going crazy. They're all expecting something good to happen, and
maybe you're a little too fine with your first couple
of pitches. You wind up walking the lead off batter
(16:44):
that turns into a stolen base or a sacrifice, and
then there's a double, and then suddenly the game is
tied and the winning run is on second. You can't
discount how important it is and what kind of intangible
that is. When a team knows we can walk off
no matter what the score is, and the opponent no,
they can walk off at any time, and you get tight,
you get nervous, because that's just the nature of the beast.
(17:05):
You know, you're not just gonna walk into the ninth
thing and Dodger Stadium and go it doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter. Now everybody knows, everybody is human. Everybody knows
the Dodgers are doing when they play at home. If
they're down a run, if it's tied, if they're down
three runs, just doesn't matter. Well, they don't, they don't stop.
I mean, that's one of the things that even outside,
if you're not a Dodger fan, you still have to
appreciate what this team has been and you have to
(17:27):
scratch your head as to how every guy that gets
plugged in seems to have been plugged in into the
right spot, even when they're changing guys positions, and defensively,
it's like, oh, he hasn't played there. Now it doesn't matter.
He's now, He's not a liability at all. Offensively, everybody
has found their strides and certainly at home their forty
(17:47):
six and bleep and fifteen. I mean, just an absurd
level of efficiency, which means all fifty thousand plus are
there until the end of games. There's no leaving early
because the dramatic come from behind victories and those Hollywood
moments have been plentiful. That's a lot of people in
there like because they want to leave earlier. They want
(18:09):
to leave. I want you don't want to stand for
the for the seventh inning stretch and I want to
leave and get now. I gotta on the ninth inning,
wait till the end. Got to celebrate the whole thing
and run differential of one three. I think the one
area of concern that folks haven't even though the bullpens
righted itself right, there's been an awful lot of of
(18:30):
things written by as and you know, all your relievers
that everybody was so nervous about early in the season,
that's all right at itself. All those numbers have come
back into the the proper era area of your e
r A. And and just being able to get your
holes because you gotta get your holds in. Uh, no
(18:51):
question about that. And even even the much maligned Joe Kelly,
let's talk about said June one, he's had a sub
too e r A with a heavy stripe account total.
She got that rolling for you. I think that the
one thing that does concern Dodger fans to a degree
and has baseball on the edge of their seat, going, Okay,
we'll see in October, right, do those hits show? And
(19:12):
and like we talked about having players with playoff experience
and that tested and showing showing their metal in big moments.
Certainly the Dodgers have plenty of those guys and they've
been in those spots. But the fear is that you
have that third October issue and suddenly, you know, as
we've talked about in the past, you're you're being compared
(19:34):
to the bills. So that that certainly runs in that
baseball being a game of of averages and things evening
themselves out, that at some point that heroic hit in
the ninth doesn't rear its head and suddenly, even though
it's a nail by or close game, that they're on
the downside of it. I think that's where Dodger fans,
(19:55):
given the hate recent history, have a little bit of
nervousness that might be justified. As I say, if the
Dodgers don't win the World Series this year, what are
they going to do it? This is their year. Be
sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
It also looks like it could be the year if
Colin Kaepernick has his way and he comes out of retirement,
(20:18):
well not really retirement, forest retirement. Kaepernick putting out on
his Twitter account earlier today a video which begins with
him with the video saying he has been denied work
for eight eighty nine days, and then goes into Colin
Kaepernick working out and as he writes, five am every day,
five days a week for the past three years, he's
(20:40):
still working out, still wants to come back to the
National Football League. Colin Kaepernick has to realize it's over.
He still has not, and honestly, he just has to stop.
He's got to stop with the I'm being denied work
part of it. All Right, this storyline reared its head
for a year and a half. Colin cap Nick is
(21:00):
blackballed from the National Football League. And there are people
who would stand up and defend it like they're defending
a loved one who is about to be sent off
to the greatest parts of Antarctica, never to be seen again.
Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed. And what did I say
the entire time? If he's being blackballed, It'll get out.
(21:20):
It'll get out. There will be somebody who will say,
I have emails. There will be somebody who is upset
they were fired from a team, saying I was in
for a conversation. I was here for this. We would
have known. Kaepernick sued the NFL. They were going to court.
He was going to go through and expose everything, right,
because that's who Colin Kaepernick was. Colin Kaepernick was the
(21:41):
idol everybody thought he is, and he was gonna go
and expose everybody. And he was gonna say, everybody is
black balling me, and I have all the proof. And
then what happens, Oh, he settles with the NFL for
less than ten million dollars, settles for money, and walks away.
And now that he decided to settle instead of proving
because it was such a big deal he was black balled,
(22:02):
I'm gonna go prove it. But now I'm gonna settle.
Why do you settle if you if you're you got
the proof, right, you got the proof, you're black balled,
So why don't you go all the way through it.
You get more money, you get what you want, you
get everything you want. But no, I settled for ten
million dollars. And that's the question, right, what was that settlement? Right?
Because it was rumored initially that it was some forty
fifty million dollars. I was just made up who wanted
(22:24):
to wanted to say, see local courts comed capite Cup paid.
I would take fifty million dollars less than ten time, right.
It would have been higher level quarterback money for two
to three years, is what was rumored. And then it
started leaking that the likely payout was somewhere between eight
and ten million dollars and so you you filed the grievance,
(22:47):
you sued the league, and nothing came out. I mean
that's that's the hard part, right in a in a
league where we get leaks. I mean, you've got coaches
now on record, Freddie Kitchens and he leaks, I'm firing y'all.
But everything gets out out, even the cockamami Antonio Brown
cryotherapy thing, that that got out very fast. Oh he's
got bad feet. I mean, what the hell did he
(23:09):
do to his feet? Put it? Ony's hobbling around, But
he showed the feet. He didn't have to cop to cryotherapy.
That that that's what the raiders, that what he would
agree to. Right. But in this case, if you're talking
about a league wide conspiracy and agreement, there's got to
I mean, how many coaches have lost jobs, how many
(23:30):
people have been taken out of meeting rooms and their
playbooks taken away, digital copies and iPads or whatever else,
someone would have said something at this point. It doesn't
mean it doesn't mean you didn't have some teams that
flat out said, look, I'm not doing it and I'm
not getting involved, right, and you didn't know we're going
for a full league. You were saying, the NFL is black,
(23:52):
but I'm gonna blow the lid off of this and instead, oh,
I'll take a settlement of less than ten millions. Now,
why would the NFL do it? Probably, I'm not going
to make excuse for it. Probably things would come up
in discovery that they wouldn't be proud of. I wouldn't
want out there, certainly, But also from a cost perspective,
with the amount of lawyers and billable hours. Get involved
(24:14):
with a lawyer for five all of you know, all
of you out there you're in with in with legal
at all. You know that that can start to rack
up on you, There's no question about it. So you
start doing a cost benefit analysis as well, not just
what might show up that has nothing to do with
the Kaepernick case at all but is discovered on a
cell phone or an email thread, but also the fact
(24:36):
that you're talking about tons of time, man hours and
billable hours that you finally just come to a cost
and figure out, I, from our our tables, what what
is this worth to us to make it a done deal?
And that's where they got to and certainly Kaepernick and
his representatives they agreed to it. And all of that
(24:56):
is stuff we have talked about. But now to come
out again and say, eighty nine days I've been denied work,
Just stop, dude, just stop. You took a payout, you
took money, all right, You could have proven your case.
You could have proved got everybody wrong, could have proven
this guy wrong, everybody wrong. But no, now it's oh yeah,
still being denied work. Dude. Come on, man, you just
(25:16):
gotta stop with this. You just have to stop. Look,
we talked about it earlier in the show. When it
comes to people like Marshawn Lynch. Is everything Marshawn Lynch
does great? No, he does some bad things. What he
did his football camp with something we're gonna get into
the next hour on the show again was pretty bad.
Is everything Colin Kaepernick did bad? No? Did you do
some really good things? Of course he does. But you
(25:38):
can't talk about one part without talking about the other.
You can't just ignore one part of things. Colin Kaepernick
has done some really good things. He's also done some
really bad things. And this is a case of now
you want to play the victim again that you've been
shut out when you had your chance to prove to everybody,
(26:00):
and now you still want to go, yeah, I got
pat being denied work being just just stop man. Colin
Kaepernick is what you would I would call a false idol,
someone who you think he stands for something and he
really stands for other things. Look when he brought the
kneeling during the national anthem to our country's attention, it
was a big deal. It was a great debate because
(26:21):
it was about the treatment of black people at the
hands of white police officers, and we had to have
that conversation that had to go on, that had to happen.
Things things were happening, It still happened. That are that
our conversations that we have to have that and that
was important what he did, But he's also done some
other things that really hasn't put anything and made it better.
(26:43):
Does he really need to wear pig socks of of
police officers who nine point nine police officers in the
country do great things. But no, I'm going to use
my platform to do this. He's both. And now when
every he wanted to stand up and say this is
who Colin Kaepernick is, No, he's a guy that took
the money. He took the money when he had a
(27:05):
chance to say, all right, you're all behind me, I'm
gonna blow the doors off of everything. I'm gonna I'm
gonna tell everybody what's going on in the NFL. I
was black balled other players. Oh well, I took the
money at the end, okay, and now hey, I'm still
being but no, stop, you just gotta stop going a
different direction, do something. He got pushed into this and
he wasn't ready. So he did probably the best job
(27:25):
he thought he could in trying to lead a movement.
But he's been silent, he's not been working, he's not
been in the NFL. He could have been a huge
leader of continue to be a huge leader of this movement,
but instead he has been invisible on a national stage
for the better part of three years when he could
have been doing we could have been doing more. So
realize it's not just I'm not anti Colin Kaepernick. It's
(27:47):
you have to talk about Colin Kaepernick and be fair,
and we talk about the good things, and you can't
just brush away the bad things because you don't want
to talk about him. I mean, that's the way you
gotta be fair on when when we talk about players,
and that's what we've done with him. Well, you pull
in the the whole discussion we had the Bashati and
ray Lewis photo. I mean, just go on down the
line that his girlfriend comparing him to a slave owner,
(28:09):
and it's the tie directly, and it goes into into
a lot of it. And going back to his quarterback play.
Does anybody believe some of these players have been signed
were necessarily better than he was back in No, but
there's a lot that goes to it in terms of
employment beyond would you be a third stringer? Well, every
(28:30):
time a fourth stringer got signed, I was, here's another
quarterback who got a job. Is Colin Kaepernick gonna take
a job for a week with a team who needs
a camp arm and the guy's gonna get waived? Of
course not. You can't just throw a guy out there
getting signed and say, oh, Kack better became part of
the list. Here are the number of players that have
been signed. And now you're more than two years removed
from from last throwing a football, and yet the conversation continues.
