(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Today's Friday. Yeah you
suck to Bill bella show? Great. Welcome inside The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. I mean
that is a winning philosophy, is it is? I can't
I can't say that telling people they suck doesn't work.

(00:45):
Happy Friday. It is a phenomenal night for us. He's here.
You know. Last night was our six year anniversary night.
Tonight we get to play the Bill O'Brien audio for
four hours. So, hey, you suck to Frostburg. Hey Hey,
hey code coach, coach um, we'll pick all the games
more on the coaching carousel. Is a happy Friday night.

(01:08):
We all had a tiny glass of champagne a few
minutes ago, just a little bit you celebrate Rob Parker's birthday.
Made another year Rob Parker, who brought in champagne for
himself to pour for everybody for his birthday. You said
that it's wrong cakes. He brought it in champagne. It's
like sometimes you gotta take it into your own hand.
You can't trust that other folks WHOA don't even say that?

(01:34):
Are you kidding? Name something without cheese that you've really
brought in? Oh oh, well, if you're gonna put qualifiers
on it, I mean we could just do this dance
all day, then have chocolate stuff without cheese. But you
can't have chocolate either. But I did have a nice
little champagne toast for parking you down to your entire glass.
Now you're on the air and you're all salty. I
gave Frostberg money that we get some more. How we're

(01:59):
so braine champagne. We're in the year seven of our
run here at Fox Sports Radio, hopefully double up. And
then we've got Rob Parker with his birthday minutes a
celebratory kind of weeks Frostburg's birthday the other night. Why
can't we have more champagne? Go White sucks you son
of as such in South forrth you sucked to Ryan's door. Yes,

(02:21):
what he said twelve was bull crap. Yeah, it sucks,
okay because they threw the World Series and that's what
I'll meet you in the middle. They cared about Bucks
batting average. Uh. The Marquis NBA Game of the Night.
It's very early right now Lakers and the Mavericks. This

(02:43):
game being played for the Lakers without Anthony Davis, who
was out with a glutio Maximus Cerealius whatever his name
was in Gladiator. Uh, contusion, sacrilege, a d is out contusion.
Potentially he could play tomorrow night as the Lakers and
back to back, second night at back to back, but

(03:04):
he's not playing tonight against Dallas, and so far they
haven't needed him. The Lakers are out to a twenty
twelve lead over the MAVs. Lebron already with nine four
rebounds and three assists and Luka dontch for the MAVs
so far two points on one for four shooting. It
has been a great start for the Lakers, and I
know it's midway through the first quarter, but you have
to wonder if this is one of those times when okay,

(03:27):
eighties out so for tonight Lebron's gonna say, hey, load
management's fine, I can load up tonight, and here's my
big triple double night, and we're gonna win this big game,
and it's gonna be hey, hey, as good as a
D is. Don't forget how good Lebron is, because you know, look,
Lebron's law great with all the love a D is getting,
But every once in a while, he's gotta still flex
his muscles and say, hey, remember I'm still the best

(03:48):
player in the NBA at thirty five. Alright, so remember that.
So I would not be surprised if tonight's one of
those nights where Lebron suddenly goes absolutely nuts. Yeah, it's
complete flex job. And then get the ball into Kyle,
who's him his hands as often as you can. He's
already taken four shots, he's got five points already, he's
at the free throw line as we speak. I gotta
get Kuzma points, and we could trade him and get

(04:09):
a shooter. I got a trade cuzas we can get
J J. Reddy. Go back and watch the video when
they asked Lebron about the trainer comments a couple of
weeks ago. You knew it was dead man walking. You
were just waiting for him to go up and kiss
him on the cheek like Freedo and send him off.
I mean, that's really where we were at. T You
know who Fredo is. We're talking about the guy from
Lord of the Rings. Yes, yes, yes, yes, Fredo yeat

(04:30):
some hairy feed. He does, he does, he does, yes,
very and and it also did some bad things Sonny had. Yeah,
it was some very bad things. I was just glad
he held under the ring as long as he did. Well, yeah,
I'm glad. I'm that that was very because of possessions
nine tenths of the law. Wasn't he the running backs
coach for the Chargers Freight? I think he is. You're right.
I'm pretty sure you're right about that would be a

(04:51):
short trilogy if Freedo was. So That's what I'm saying.
We'll keep you updated. Lakers lead the Mavericks now eight
to twelve, has got seven. It's a big lead so
far porzingis and which is starting to become exactly what
his tenure with the Knicks one, missing a lot of games, injured,
getting injections. Is he ever gonna be healthy? Respectful? You're

(05:16):
talking over the jingle. Well, because you know what, Porzingis
doesn't play for the Knicks anymore. So I can talk jingles,
all right, I'm do you know what? I will subscribe
to that. I I will deal with that. I will
not talk over the jingle again. But not too late.
You are seeing what plagued Porzingis, what plagued him with
the Knicks, and suddenly this old big trade. Look at

(05:38):
what's going on now is oh wow. Basically we are
potentially looking for another number two next to Luca don
Chech if Porzingis doesn't really get it going and oh
my goodness the contract and oh my, so that's where
things sit right now in the NBA. And that's great.
We'll keep you updated. But here's here's the greatest thing
you'll here listen to all day. This video comes from

(06:01):
TMZ and it's from a game three weeks ago, the
Houston Texans trailing at halftime at home to the Denver
Broncos thirty one three. If you remember this game, I
think the entire world picks Houston. It was like, wait
a minute, how are we losing thirty one three at
the half? Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute.
This is the Broncos. They can't score. We're down thirty

(06:23):
one three. Going to the locker room at halftime, this
video just comes out. Now you're gonna hear a fan
heckel Texans head coach Bill O'Brien, who now has to
deal with this as he gets ready for the divisional
playoff round this weekend. We had to bleep out a
lot of it, But the first thing you're gonna hear
is the fan who's right next to the tunnel is

(06:46):
Bill O'Brien is walking in yelling to Bill O'Brien, you
bleep and suck. All right, let's hear it. You sucked,
you suck to you blank or blanker? And then I
think it's either DeAndre Hopkins or Deshaun Watson yelled coach, coach, coach,

(07:06):
come on, come on, come on, but listen to it again.
The guy yells you suck, coach, and then Bill O'Brien
again going right back at him. Coach, coach, coach to blanker, blanker.
I mean that's straight from the people that run the

(07:28):
video surveillance for the stadium. So that guy gets fired, right,
I think, so that man or woman gets fired from
that job, right, I'm pretty sure it's DeAndre Hopkins because
it looks like him. It's that the video is tough
to see, but it looks like Hopkins is the one
who wants coach. Coach, come on, man, come on, but
you got a guy yelled you suck and Bill o'bride
can't stand and says you suck to you, blanker blanker.

(07:51):
I said it last week. They're in the first half,
and if they get embarrassed this weekend, I still don't
think Bill O'Brien is necessarily safe and say the kind
of game. Now, he won the first game, this is funny,
this will be well, and the Bills did everything they
could to win that game. Bill O'Brien's fired. Yeah that's true.

(08:13):
That's true, but they didn't. And sometimes it's one play
in the NFL that keeps the guy there. There's lots
of wolves at the door. Man. I get it. I
I I get Bill O'Brien losing as cool at this
moment because I've done that before. In a sporting event,
something happens, you say something you shouldn't. I've told you
the story before about the time we were playing a
softball game against our our arch rival team and this

(08:36):
meathead on the other team stuff. I just kept saying
stupid stuff that didn't make sense, and his team was
laughing about it. And I'm going I said, listen, meathead,
and I started yelling black blad. I did this while
my mom was watching the game. She had come out
to visit for a week. And she said, I'll come
to your softball game and we'll go to dinner after. Okay,

(08:56):
and she's got to hear me yell call this guy
a meathead and and and curse at him because he
was just being so ridiculously stupid, and you know, and
at least at the at she said, well, I like
the fact that you channeled Archie Bunker and called him
meat head. He was at meat head. He was saying
meat head things. So I've done that before. And I
walked back. I can't believe I did that. I remember

(09:16):
Pam telling me, I can't believe you did that. I
was just so pissed at him. I was. He was
just such I go, he was so infuriated, she was.
I get it, I get it, but but your mom
was right there. I mean, your mom was like ten
feet away. When I'm starting yelling at this guy, So
I get it, but I was twenty seven. Bill O'Brien
is fifty, all right. Bill O'Brien is older than I
am now. Bill O'Brien's fifty. And because if fan yells

(09:39):
you suck, you gotta yell back you suck to you blanker, blanker, dude,
go into the locker room. Learned that Kevin Durant Lesson,
let this stuff go. I know, heckler's and trolls. You
want to go back at them. They're infuriating on social
media when they yell at you when they see you
on the street. I understand that, but you're supposed to

(10:01):
be the guy who sets the example. You're you're an executive,
you're the head coach of the team, and you're yelling
at some dude. You know who's walking around with a
David Carr jersey. I assumed David Carr and who's because
that's why he's mad yelling you suck, and you yell
look back at up, you suck too. As you're walking
into the into the tunnel at halftime, God you you
it's hey, it's awesome, and it's awesome for us, but

(10:23):
I mean, really, let's let's be fair. If we say
the things about Kevin Durant last night, you gotta let
trolls go say the same, especially a guy who's a
head coach that should know better than the rest of
the players. That's like, hey, you're the guy that's setting
the example, and you're the one that I mean, well,
what are the other players gonna do when they go
what coach just lost his mind? There against it? Thankfully,
DeAndre Hopkins walked over and and and and got in

(10:43):
and said something to either snapped him out of his
reverie or got him away from things, because who knows
it what had happened. I mean, but now we get
to add him to the the rough cut alongside Baker Mayfield.
I mean, this is great. We can start the threat
of guys just screaming at fans. Go back to Isaiah
Thomas going in to the crowd. I mean, we've got
a cross sport section of people just responding tons. I'd

(11:05):
really like to know what was yelled at Bill O'Brien
that got in that he yelled you suck. Yeah, there's
gotta be There's gotta be something more than that just
saying you suck. But that's that. That's the other part
of it is that sometimes people who do lose their

(11:25):
mind and say things and come back they go, well,
I was provoked. Now you were provoked because you allowed
yourself to be provoked. If you want to respond to
every idiot who's gonna troll you and say bad things
about you, whether it's something about your family, your mother,
whatever it is, you can ignore them. You know, there's
no such thing as all there's fighting words when you're

(11:46):
a coach of a National Football League team and this
is a guy in the stands. There's no fighting words
between a player on the court and a fan in
the stands. No fighting. But it's that kind of level
of intensity that makes him the coach that he How
about that, just like all those raw ross speeches we
were mocking the last couple of days, like that, he
set the tone. Like now he's set the tone. He

(12:08):
looked like an idiot. Okay, Mr Judge, and you know
down Matt Rule, same thing. It's like, yeah, it might work,
but it just sounds so jealoush And this is right,
This is just a about four levels below but all
on the same continue was like, what are we doing?
Come on, guys, I mean they did hit it bigger

(12:29):
in the second half and came back and outscored the
Broncos seven. But it wasn't enough to win the game.
But still you have to know better, and you this
is I mean, this is like a lesson to a child,
you know. But at least I give Bill O'Brien credit.
Once the video came out today, he talked about it
at his press conference ahead of the game. Wanted to
get rid of everything, and did apologize for his choice

(12:50):
of words during this confrontation. I was made aware of
a video that's out there and um, at halftime in
the Denver game, coming off the field, you know, I
used inappropriate language and I just want to apologize for that.
What that hard knocks. You've been to a lot of
this stuff before. What's it like when that when you
see that video and that that appears and you you're
forced to address it during a playoff? Yeah, no, I

(13:10):
apologize for it. You know, like I said, UM, you know,
just inappropriate UM comments and you know, like I said,
I apologize for it, and uh sorry that it happened. Oh,
come on, Bill, that guy was a tool. Screw him.
I like the way the question was asked, Hey, and
it comes out during a playoff week, You idiot? How
you address that? And you know Andy Reid leaked it.

(13:31):
He should have told the reporter and blank you too,
you suck? To Hey, coach, you suck? How about that?
I mean, that's what you call solidarity and the a
f C west we're standing up for. But you gotta know,
I mean, listen, last two nights, whether it's Kevin Durant
deciding I don't like when someone else says Russell Westbrook
is better than me. And now you have a coach

(13:53):
Vanenna Healthy yelling you suck blank or blanker to a
fan who just yells you suck out. Oh you think
I suck suck and you suck. You're a blanker blanker.
Oh that you got me? Coach? You don't really wish that.
He just said, yeah, sorry, but look in the moment,
that was the best. That guy sucked. Twitter and how
about a fresco Mike gets swollen down the Jason Smith

(14:15):
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon coming up next.
The moment is here we pick all the divisional round
playoff games. Who is moving on to the a f
C and NFC Championshow O'Brien, you know what, it's not happening.
And you know, if Bill O'Brien loses the first of
people who says, coach, you suck blanker blanker, who's moving
on and who's going home? Coming up next Fox. Be

(14:38):
sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Now,
this is the air drumming song. Yeah but you can't
nobody can replicate. I think the best tweet I saw
today in homage to the departed Rush drummer, was somewhere

(15:02):
all across America, bands are doing what they can to
learn a quote easy Rush. That might have been the
best quote to this band. I got got to see
him a couple of times. Man was always holding out
hope for a third. You know, he Rush. You know,
I've talked about it many times. I Taylor Getty Lee
sings like his pants are two type, and you know

(15:24):
I was. I wasn't a Rush guy like some of
my other favorite bands where but you know, Rush had
great songs that I love. My my wife's one of
her favorite songs. It's limelight, you know, and you know,
getting the news when Neil Purtt died today. I'll tell
you this much any conversation that I have ever had,
do you think we have big sports conversations every night
and and in my life for the past fifteen years,

(15:46):
and and back and forth, when you're yelling that you
think you're right and somebody other person thinks they're right.
That is nothing compared to the conversations that I would
have when I was a teenager early twenties, when you
get in that conversation and greatest guitarist of all time,
greatest drummer of all time, greatest lead singer of all time,
and you want to fight the other person because they

(16:07):
say it's John Bonham. The other person says this. But
I gotta tell you this, every conversation I've ever had,
I've seen disagreements on on on the guitarist. I've seen
disagreements on the lead singer. I've seen disagreements on the bassist.
I have not had any conversation about who the best
drummer was that didn't go to the end with Neil
Parrott and John Bonham and didn't end with Rush I mean, really,

(16:28):
I'm not Keith. Yeah, but you know what. But you
see when Keith Moon started having his issues, like you
got to a couple of albums where even Pete Towns
and Roger Daltry were like, what's happened to you? Like
you've you've lost your edge? Comments from both of them
that he bailed in a couple of all right, it

(16:49):
became an easier act, sadly right when he was gone right,
Like he would play double notes all the time, and
I remember seeing Pete Towns. I couldn't believe I'm listening
to him going, he's playing double He's playing double notes?
How is he doing this? Ginger Baker? You know Ginger Baker? Two? Yeah,
those they always make it down to down to the end.
But and Ringo, we can never forget ring Yeah. But

(17:09):
Ringo is dismissed out of the conversation pretty easily. He's
not people who actually have drums. I'm telling you the conversations.
Ringo makes it down to the end and then he
gets he played in a big band. You know, you
and I both love photograph, but you know, I'm sorry
Ringo fall. Ringo makes it to the Elite eight. Sometimes
they'll make it to the final four, but he falls

(17:31):
before the championship game. Neil Pierre always wins. Yeah, it's it's, it's,
it's generally and it's and it's and it's John Bottom.
That's what it comes down to, and Neil Pierre really
always wins that one versus two with him and John
bonhom Just remember a couple of shows, A couple of
my my best friends are just beside themselves, right, they've
now had kids, and it hoped to be able to

(17:51):
introduce at some point a Rush reunion, one more last
run to say, here's what dad his torment you with
all these years, and like the realization that that will
never happen now is is crushing. And I feel for
them and and for music fans. I saw so many
tributes going out and I think I can now cobbled

(18:14):
together nine hours of music off of my timeline from
different songs. People have suggested, go listen to this one,
or go listen to a live version of this here's
a solo. Uh. Interestingly, you know, Adam Carolla does his
podcast and does long form interviews, and he was asking
what should I do in who haven't I talked to
that you guys would like to hear? And a couple
of people had actually said, look, he's down the road

(18:35):
in Malibu. You can find him on his motors. I
can do that. He's a regular guy, he was. He
was like that, not not a star, not a guy
that's gonna walk in and say the lights are too bright.
I need purple lights at my feet. In the next
five seconds. He was just a regular guy. He had
come and talk about drumming and do all these things,
and and uh, you know, hearing and seeing the outpouring
of emotion from everybody today, it's one of those woe.

(18:56):
I I can't believe it, you know. And he and
he passed away earlier this week. You know, it wasn't
even something that happened today. It was earlier this week
in Santa Monica. Here in Los Angeles, had a good
run sixty seven years old, had had some personal tragedies
that were part of the last few years and maybe
part of the reason that they stopped touring back in.
I know, Getty Lee has gone on to do a

(19:18):
bunch of stuff and special guest star kind of things,
but you know, just a musicians, musician that so many
of the people that we follow in the Twitter verse
are Buddy Gorman among them. Uh that it just the
heartbreaking for all of them and pulling out their best
live tracks tonight to go back for those drum solos,

(19:39):
you know. And and that's the thing about Neil Pirott
is that for people like me, I even say Rush
wasn't one of my go to maatman. I still like Rush,
but I just just not was because Rush and Rush
was different. You know, Rush wasn't heavy metal. They weren't
hard rock, but they weren't they weren't quite you know,
an indie band either. They were kind of a mix

(20:00):
of all of those. Yeah, it was difficult to say
who are they Even now you would say, well, they're
kind of the first of the great Canadian triumvirate Canadian uh,
you know, and no one mentions Alex Lifelan's name ever,
and you know, so it's kind of hard now to
say that you know where they would be. But even

(20:20):
you know, like even people like me that I say, well, hey,
I liked Rush and I like their songs and they
were part of my life and you know, bigger part
of many other people's lives. But there's nobody that doesn't
come down and feel like, wow, this is this is
really this affects everybody on some level. You know, even
I saw it was a chuck D was tweeting out
earlier today when he went in the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, and and so did Rush the three

(20:43):
or four years ago that he he and Pierre spent
time hanging out together talking about what the night was
and everything. And and here's two people that are separated
by by their their the music they do, and and
years and years and years and live and and they
spend time hanging out and talking about what it was.
And you realize that, yeah, when you see something like
this happening, it affects everybody. And just the overall overwhelming

(21:06):
number of people from all different levels of fandom. It
just really it opened your eyes and go, Okay, here's
somebody who's universally loved. You don't get universally loved all that, No,
generally not and a guy that didn't really want any
of the limelight as it were. I mean, one of
my one of my favorite clips wasn't a live performance.

(21:27):
It was him trying to just do warm ups and
make sure his kid was right before a show, and
it was just his long things like where he's working
like you know, like surgeon, like precision. You know you're
good when your band members can go away for an
hour and the guys still doing a drum solo. Yeah,
yeah they Hey, we can go down and hook up
with any bunch of women and then come back up

(21:48):
and yeah, you're still still carrying the crowd like it,
like they didn't even leave. Yeah, you're you're still good.
Oh you guys were gone. Oh I forgot you were gone. Okay,
Oh now I get it now, Yeah, okay, amazing band
five Rest in Peace sixty seven years old. Twitter at
how about a fresco Mike gets swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon. Will hear some rush music

(22:08):
throughout the night tonight here on the show, but coming
up in ninety seconds we get into it. Let's start
picking the a f C and NFC divisional playoff games.
But first, Cleveland is not going to win. I'll tell
you that. I know you want to bet on what well,
I mean, they could still win this weekend. Well, we'll

(22:28):
get to how about this. We'll get to Cleveland in
a few minutes. Alright, deal, but first be sure to
catch live editions of the Jason Smith Show with Mike
harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. There's
a fun story involving Green Bay. We're gonna get to
coming up in a few minutes. But let's do this
right now. Let's start picking the divisional playoff games this

(22:49):
weekend in the National Football League, because this is what
every expert and pundit will tell you is the best
weekend of football. We get rid of all the riff
raff wild card weekend, we to the top eight teams,
and this is when we get the best football, the
best quantity of football in addition to the quality. Let's
go first with Minnesota and San Francisco. First game tomorrow,

(23:12):
one Pacific time on NBC. I told you three weeks
ago it was gonna be the Kirk Cousins game against
the Packers on Monday Night. Didn't happen. Last week. I
told you I had a feeling this is gonna be
the Kirk Cousins game, and it kind of was. Vikings win.
I said they were gonna upset the Saints. They did.

(23:34):
Dalvin Cook was really good, Adam feeling was good. I
liked the Vikings. They were their offense was back everything
were healthy for the first time. I said they pulled
the upset, and they did. I got the other three
games wrong. I said they pulled the upset, and they did.
This is gonna be the Kirk Cousins for interception game.
It's great. Minnesota had a big week last week. San
Francisco was on another level. Their defense is the best

(23:57):
defense in the NFL. They're not gonna be able to
throw the at ball. This game is gonna be a
steady pull away for San Francisco, and they'll be able
to run the football if they need to. They'll be
able to throw the football they need to. Now that
Jimmy Garoppolo has spent the last eight weeks, really Aaron
things out a bit, showing that I can win games
with three and four touchdowns if we need to. They
can win any style of game. Minnesota, it was a

(24:19):
great week. Last week was a great win for Mike
Zimmer's staying head coach. Now it's a big win for
Kirk Cousins, but they go back to reality tomorrow. San
Francisco wins. It'll be close in the first half San Francisco,
maybe it's like a ten three three type game, but
then it turns a thirty one thirteen San Francisco. I
got San Francisco an upset alert. I'm a little nervously.

(24:40):
They pull that exactly. They pull back after the big win,
right the what whatever, get the monkey off your shoulder,
whatever you want to say. For Kirk Cousins that there's
a relaxation point, but that defense will still get after
Jimmy Garoppolo for still his first year starting, and he's
been great the second half. Right anders after his acquisition,

(25:01):
he got into it. The people in Denver tried to
make something out of some comments he made on a
radio appearance today, So he's kind of salty. But Sanders
and Kittle getting it. Don Deebo Samuel's had a fantastic
rookie season quietly for them and most it's been great.
But if you can get them into the passing downs,
can Danil Hunter Uh and that front give Garoppolo fits?

(25:26):
I think they can. I'll take him plus the seven.
I think Robbie gold is the difference. What it is
one of the few guys that you actually trust in
the kicking game in the National football and now he
still wants to go back. See that's that's the filthy
thing about it. I don't know he wants to go
back anymore. He's gonna be He's gonna go the Super Bowl. Yeah,
he keeps showing up in Chicago and every event he

(25:48):
possibly in prime time. You want to revisit this pick,
and this is about as close to the normal Kirk
Cousins can start. It's you know, I've seen him throw
four picks during the middle of the day before it's
gonna happen. San Francisco's defense is just too good. Really,
if that's that's the selling point for me on this

(26:11):
points are gonna be difficult to come by. San Francisco's
at home, they're gonna roll. Remember the Falcons went in
there not too long ago. I mean, it comes down
to Dalvin Cook right over the last seven weeks. He
had a big gameless past week, but overall a little
bit dinged up, but averaging about a three and a
half yards per caring. He's got to be able to
run the football. Yeah again too. We got hurt of

(26:31):
practice this week with a cut and whatever else he's got.
He's got a bloody sock game in him, the Adam
Feeling bloody sock game. There's that guy. All right, I
got Kyle Rudolph's gloves. Now we gotta get out of
its bloody sake. Hey, Kyle, can you go apply some
pressure so there's blood from the wound on your gloves. Yeah,
madness and sues. I think San Francisco eats one out,

(26:52):
but would not be surprised to see Minnesota win this
game out right, Houston and Kansas City, let's go to
the a f C. Now that's a Sunday game, twelve
or five pm Pacific time, this one on CBS. I
would love to say Houston keeps it going. That is
not going to happen. You suck to, You sucked. Bill
O'Brien's not happy. You know why because Bill O'Brien sucks.

(27:14):
So you tell me I suck. You suck to Bill O'Brien. Look,
the over under for this is fifty one. I'll take
the over. This has all the makings of a game
that's Kansas City at halftime. They're gonna get the turnovers
they need to put this game away. But the biggest
thing in this this is Patrick Mahomes is time. We're

(27:35):
sleeping on him and not giving Kansasy the attention they deserve.
Because they have played phenomenally the past six weeks. They
have figured it all out. They are dangerous. They figured
things out defensively, and this is mahomes Is time. Okay,
you can all talking fun over Lamar Jackson all you want.
Here's Aaron Rodgers playing audio. I'm gonna remind you all

(27:56):
on Sunday that I was the guy. I'm the guy.
This is my lead and he's gonna have a huge day.
They are peaking right now and I'll tell you Kansas
City they're going to the super Bowl. I'm gonna pick
him this week. I'm gonna pick him next week. Houston
winning last week felt like it was their super Bowl.
It felt like they needed to get over the hunt
by winning a playoff game, and they did. It's gonna
be a different story against Kansas City. Their defense the

(28:19):
past few weeks has really risen up and again because
we're not spending a lot of time with them, because
we have the newby teams of Baltimore and Lamar Jackson
story and the drama last week with the Bills in
Houston and San Francisco is new and Russell Wilson against
Aaron Rodgers, all of that, all of these things, and

(28:41):
the Chiefs have just been yeah, okay. Their defense has
let up an average of ten points a game the
past six weeks. They have not been beaten up at all.
They have not played a close game since they beat
the Chargers by a touchdown six weeks ago. Andy Reid
has had two weeks to work on this game and
figure things out. This is gonna be Kansas City. This

(29:02):
is gonna be Kansas City in a big way. Can
Will Fuller finish a game? It's it comes down to
that that offense works when will Fuller is on the
field right. Deshaun Watson was a magician at times last week,
and he had to be and in the biggest moment
he had to be I think they can run the football.

(29:23):
Chris Jones may not be able to go for this
with Travis Kelsey bing dinged up a little bit like
with Minnesota. It's the did you get your bump as
you call it, did you did you get your win?
And now you're you're fat and happy. I don't know
that you're there. Watson will still be able to make
a few plays in theory J J. Watt With another

(29:43):
week of work, maybe he's even more effective. To warrant
all the screen time he gets, because that's the other thing.
We gotta find a metric for that. You only get long,
long drives where it's just you in the ice home
if you've actually done something of consequence in the game.
I think I think he should work on that going forward.
But I don't think Kansas City runs away and hides.

(30:05):
Think Houston gives him a fight on the back of
Carlos Hide, but it's not enough. I'll take. I'll take
the ten and a half. So you're taking you so
so I'm saying both Kansas City and San Francisco are
going to win and cover. You're saying Minnesota's in San
Francisco and Kansas City are both gonna win, but they're
not gonna correct. That's where you're going. I'm gonna take

(30:28):
to beat the spread. Look at you to win for
a smaller portion of the football audience. You want to
win for me, and losing by eight wins for me.
That's that's really all it is. I I don't think
that any I'm not looking for a blowout in any
of these games. The biggest bigg I'll take the over

(30:48):
under this one because I think we'll have a defense
and score or two. I don't have a defensive score
in the first quarter. Could be I'll tell you if
thiseen and a halftime Kansas City rolls and everybody's reminded, wait,
this is really Patrick Mahomes as we loved him. So
there you go. There's our pick San Francisco in Kansas City.
Will pick the other games coming up next hour. But
coming up next well, there is still one coaching domino

(31:11):
yet to fall in the NFL that everybody is waiting for.
And maybe we just had our final solution to that
earlier today. Yes, we'll get into that coming up next
on Fox. Tight Shirt finally nailed it. Finally, Tight Shirt.
I said it for eight years. I knew I'd be right.

(31:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart
Radio app. Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody, Today's Friday. Fox Sports Radio.
Happy Friday. It's been Roxbury. It's been happy guys. Not

(31:53):
you're bleeping head. It's been a happy Friday so far
for the Lakers. There's sixty seven points in the first half.
Still three and a half to go. Defense, they lead
the Mavericks sixties seven to fifty one. Not to be fair,
they've given up fifty one. Well that's true, but they
but they've scored. I'm not saying given a great defensive effort.

(32:16):
Shot up. Uh. Kyle Kuzma with thirteen points in the
starting line at tonight for Anthony Davis, Lebron doing his
best to inflate Kyle Kuzma's trade value. Absolutely get him
out in a couple of games. Eleven shots already five
of eleven on then I only want to four from
three point range more Charlie Brown like squiggles in the

(32:37):
back of his his eminem haircut. Uh. He's plus fifteen
on the night, thirteen points. Uh. They're celebrating Rob Polinka's
contract as well, so I mean a lot of positivity,
even though they still have to worry about sacra contusion.
It's okay. Dr Rich Paul is on the phone and
he has taken care of all of this. Now he's
calling teams around the league to get them to take
Kyle Kuzma. Dr. Paul is going to figure this whole

(33:00):
thing out. I'm not worried about now. He's a doctor. Yeah,
well he was. He gave us the update the other
night that a D was gonna be okay X rays
we're negative. A D was gonna be fine. Negative. Anthony
Davis missing tonight's game against the Mavericks, but potentially could
come back and play tomorrow night. He is on the
sideline wearing a robe I'm sorry, in a suit now.
If he'd been in a road, that would have been

(33:20):
next level, because that's how he always does his postgame pressers.
For those unaware, I mean, that would have been brilliant.
The monogram robe with the Laker logo, that's the best.
Just I'm out here, and and flip and sliders and socks, yeah,
and and that. You know, that's a look. I never
understood how that worked. Is sliders and white tube socks.

(33:40):
That's not a look that I would ever. I don't
even want to walk out of the house wearing that,
But yet athletes try to pull that off. I got
no repair of sliders and white tube socks that like
come up to your mid calf. I don't get that
last off. You gotta let the calf breathe. I don't
know is already the problem. I had one flex and
now I got a fraid fraid fabric. I mean, it's

(34:02):
a problems. There's certain there's certain fashions that I get.
I don't understand because I'm a man in my forties.
But well, it's casual Friday. Uh man, those are the
Shawn Green but these are actually pajama pants. Yeah, I
war me because you know, usually wear sweatpants every day.
So my casual Friday, I gotta step it up. So
it's got to be something less than just sweatpants. I

(34:23):
can't just wear sweatpants. And it's like every other day
you want to just wear a dicky while you're at it.
And so so I wear the So I have the
pajama pants that I'm wearing today because it's my casual Friday,
celebrating Sean Green again. I love it. So so that's
where things stand right now in the NBA. Meanwhile, what
number is greater the number of starting quarterbacks the Browns

(34:45):
have had since two thousand or the number of people
the Browns have interviewed for their head coaching job since
the season ended head coaching Make it eight candidates interviewed
by the Browns when you count Josh McDaniels who interviewed
with the team today, the Patriots offensive coordinator, who remains
the favorite to go to Cleveland because it's either Cleveland

(35:06):
or Hey, pick a name out of a hat if
you're the Cleveland Browns. And this is why I say
things like I respect the way the Dallas Cowboys do
things in that when they needed a head coach, we
didn't hear any names. I said, you're gonna hear one
or two at most, and then that first name was
going to be the head coach, and that was Mike
McCarthy and it was done in two days. We know

(35:28):
who we want. That's our guy. We hired him. Here
are the Browns with let's have a nationwide search for
our next grade head goes. We want to leave no
stone unturned because you never know who we're gonna wind
up getting. This is a team that has no idea
what they're doing and is never gonna be sold enough
on one guy to say, Okay, he's our guy, because
when you're talking to this many people, you clearly have

(35:49):
not number one, you have no idea what you want,
and number two, you have no idea how to gauge
people into what they can bring to a team. And
have that foresight. This is I want you to come
in and wow me by giving me a presentation, which
forced me to say, you have to be our head
coach where you have to have knowledge of some of
these guys. Coming in eight people is just way too much.

(36:09):
The more people you interview, the more I know you
have no idea how to conduct a coaching search. You
don't know what you're looking for, and you don't know
the right questions to ask. You don't know the right
direction because you are talking to people that are blank
slates to you. Well, when that's been the problem, right.
We talked with Jay Glazer about myriad things yesterday. Uh,
you want to hear the tales of the Crazy Party
with Guy Fierti, Sylvester Stallone and Al Pacino. Go to iTunes,

(36:34):
google Play, wherever you get your podcasts and and download it.
Give it five stars. It's a brilliant story. But also
just it wasn't a question. You absolutely want to hear that.
It is an awesome story, Glazer, It's a as good
as it gets. Stallone and Schwarzenegger and Fianny and and
the video that's out there going viral. You're not gonna
believe who was doing magic for them at the end
of the magic was there and he had that glowing

(36:55):
ball at the beginning of the magic was not magic, Johnson.
I mean I had to I had to leave it
for a just a fantastic story, and we always appreciate JA.
But one of the things is we talked about was
the Browns coaching search, and with McDaniels being the seemingly
obvious choice at this point, right because they're not competing
with anybody else, he leaves the building today, no deal.

(37:16):
But with Jimmy Haslam, as we've seen with head coaches,
he changes his mind all the time, and I think
part of it is getting rased and picked on by
the other owners when he goes to meetings and everything else,
like you picked that guy, Huh, what'd you see it?
So he goes degrees the other way. And in selecting
this coach, you also have a vacuum because you fired

(37:39):
dor Seat, so you didn't even have a lifetime football
guy in the room to help guide the conversations and
and get you to ask the right questions. So now
you're in no man's land and you still have Baker Mayfield,
and then the little bobble head that I'm sure he
was on the desk on Hey, we gotta figure that
guy out too, Twitter at how about a freskup Mike
at Swollen. The more that you here, the less idea

(38:02):
team has of what they wanted. Coming up next more
from the NBA end, we'll finish our picks for this
weekend in the n f L playoff round. Fox. Be
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm
Pacific Fox Sports Radio That Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Harmon, live from the Geico Studios. Big

(38:25):
Football Friday went, isn't it a Big Football Friday? In
a couple of minutes, we'll pick the other two games
this weekend. Last hour on the show, we gave you
our first picks. We both like San Francisco to beat Minnesota.
I like them to cover by a lot. Mike Harmon
does not correct. I like Kansas City to cover by
a lot against Houston. Mike Harmon likes Kansasy to win,

(38:49):
but not by a lot narrowly. That is right. So
we'll pick the other two games coming up in a
couple of minutes. But first we gotta tell you what
just happened in the Lakers game against the Mavericks. Uh.
Thankfully for the Mavericks. This game is at halftime. The
Lakers lead at seventy nine eight. Without Anthony Davis, the
Lakers put seventy nine points on the board in the

(39:11):
first half. They're shooting fifty from the floor. Lebron will
have a triple double at some point early in the
second half. But the big thing is Kyle Kuzma in
the starting lineup for Anthony Davis. TA let's showcase him
and make sure if people want to trade for him.
He's got thirteen shots, he's got twenty one points, he's
at the free throw line. He's doing everything. Lebron and

(39:34):
the Lakers doing all they can to get Kyle Kuzma's
trade value as high as it can be. So in
the next couple of days, while Anthony Davis is resting
and not playing, they can get that value up high.
The Knicks will say, oh, yeah, yeah, we'll take him. Here,
take Marcus Morris, and then all right, we're done and
we make that move. This is how we show you
he can score a lot of points for your crappy team. Now,

(39:55):
you may not have a guy like Lebron that can
get him the ball. You want a guy canned it
up if you let him shoot a lot. You want
a guy to score empty buckets for your team. It's
Kyle Kuzma. This is a guy and he brings a
snappy haircut, and he's been known to get after it
verbally with superstars. Let's go. You want a guy who's
going to score a lot of points on a bad team,

(40:16):
that's Kyle Kuzin. Look at I mean it worked for
brandon Ingram. Let's get him out of here. Uh So
that's where things stand right now. But if that was all,
that would be enough. Oh wait, there's more. A few
minutes ago, Luca don Sich, who is not having a
great first half for the Mavericks. I mean, he's got
four teen points, but he's three out of eight from
the floor, he's only seven out of twelve from the

(40:38):
free throw line. He's got five turnovers. He's not having
a big night and they're beating the minus twenty four.
He is not having a game. You know, he's he's
been banged up even uh you had a technical fall
on Frank Vogel because the fall got called and he
got mad about it. Go come on, we can't touch him.
Was like, no, you knocked him around pretty good already.
He was so mad. After missing a free throw, he

(40:59):
turned around to run up court and he and he
grabs his jersey on both sides of the collar and
rips it down the middle. Now it's a Hoak Hogan
power move. It's exactly what he's doing. You try grabb
trying to rip it however far I can get it,
but because it's not a terrorway jersey, it only rips
like down to maybe his stern um. Now he looks

(41:20):
like the creep coming in on a Friday night at
a club where began the night at the Roxbury before
you know, going back to Ackroid and Steve Martin, we
are too wild and crazy guy. Yeah, let me tell
you this right now. We talked about fashion last hour
on the show. No guy looks good in a V neck? Right, No,
no guy looks good in a V neck. You're a

(41:41):
guy who wearing a V neck. Take it off and
on a regular T shirt. But he rips and it
goes down to his sternum, and that's it. That's as
far as it gets, because it's a pretty good move
and BA jerseys are pretty sturdy, and you know, Dan
is pretty strong. But still he rips it, goes down
to his stern, and then he stops because I think
he probably realized if I keep ripping, now, i'd is
looking at a guy ripping a jersey. I want that

(42:02):
for my charity. Oh yeah, yeah, well, hey, the same
guy with Kyle Rudolph's gloves is gonna wind up with
that's a jerseyman. Look got cheans in general right now.
Game you stuff is through the roof. But this jersey
with the rip on it, I mean that that's just
quality too. It was a good terror too, straight down
it was. He did get it right down the middle,
and he plays it for the rest of the first half.

(42:24):
I'm surprised that the referees didn't say anything about, hey, dude,
you gotta go get a new jersey. He looks so
salty that But like I said, like he's getting beat up.
Every time he's trying to go to the hole, he
is getting a body on him. So good job by
the Lakers, just frustrating the hell out of him over

(42:44):
the course of the night. And now it shows up
at the free throw line. But you know that that
is vintage Hule Cogan, as you put up on Twitter
at how about a Fresca. Everybody now finding their favorite
iteration of Huld Cogan, young Hulk Hogan and whgan uh
and end of run hole Coogan. I mean there there's
some good end of run man. Come on, he doesn't

(43:08):
he doesn't, he doesn't take it run. Yeah, I mean
go back to the A w A all those years ago,
thunderlips hold Cogan. Well you think like you and me,
I a little bit comes back to stallone. He tried
to tear it off like Harmon did that suit he
wore the first day. We actually have audio of it.

(43:33):
Let's take a listen to it right now, don't you. Meanwhile,
I struggled from the line five of nine, and he
has missed three of his last four and now another.
But you wonder if he's starting to get in his
head at all. And I see it's miss four of
his last five and those are big mrs when you're
trying to climb back into the game. And how about
what he did? I have to missing it. He ripped

(43:53):
his jersey coming down the floor. Oh, you're right. The
jersey needs men. Look at that. Wow, it took a
huge gash into it. Wow, MAV's Radio network. Wow, it's
a I mean, we commemorated the seventh anniversary in the
pasting of our guy Huell Houser here Los Angeles legend

(44:15):
where everything was exciting, and that's exactly what that calls out.
Oh boy, he ripped his jersey right down the middle.
Did Porzingis come running out with some thread? No, he
couldn't come running. He's still I'm sorry, I can't. I
can't help you. At least. The thing is is that
Hulk Hogan. You look at the how strong he was,

(44:37):
you would think he could rip any kind of T shirt.
But at least he even made it easier on himself
because he would always rip. There was always rips already
and pre cut. Yea, So his jersey ripping, his T
shirt ripping looked awesome because there was really no way
could go wrong. Was just clean. He already he already
had he had the three rips on either side because
it looked like it was cut that way to show

(44:57):
his muscles. But it was cut that way. So what
I rip it off off? I can just look like
I'm doing it really fast and I'm and I'm great.
Make it nice and easy. Absolutely, So that's that's next thing,
Luca Dot just need if you want to do that again,
make sure you you know, already have the pre holes
ripped in your jersey, so when you do that, you
can rip the whole thing off. He's still working. I
mean he's still trying to figure it all out. And

(45:17):
I mean he'll have that in the bag the next
time he decides to go w W E Superstar. I
mean he's trying to steal from the bucks. I mean
that's their thing right now, right before they come out
there doing all the different moves in the in the back.
Uh And and right now, you know you've got that
game rolling on, and then we've got Clippers Warriors. I mean,

(45:37):
you gotta get excited about that, don't you. Well, you
don't know. I'm more excited about end of Run. Hole
Coking you like said, well, look, I mean, Hulks not
splitting to the ring like he wants did. I'm excited
about end of run. Emmett Smith with the Cardinals end
of Run let me here. Uh So we'll keep you
updated on that game and if anybody rips any more Jerseys.

(45:58):
But the Lakers are up huge at halftime. Right now,
the Knicks are putting together a huge package for Kyle Kuzma. Meanwhile,
it is a big football Friday. We picked the games
we told you about a few minutes ago, last hour.
Now let's get to the next two this weekend in
the NFL Divisional playoff round, Tennessee and Baltimore. And I'll

(46:22):
tell you this right away. This game is going to
be closer than you think. This is not going to
be a big Baltimore runaway. Tennessee played last week they
pulled the big upset. Yes, there's gonna be some kind
of coming back to earth after beating the Patriots on
the road. I get that part of it. But the

(46:43):
Titans are gonna be able to sledge hammer Derrick Henry.
And you know what the Ravens plan is. We are
gonna sell out to stop Henry and make Ryan Tannehill
make plays. But here's the thing. Ryan Tannehill can make
a few plays. This is not gonna be a game
where suddenly in the first quarter you look up and
it's seventeen three and it's six and boy, this game

(47:06):
is over Tennessee is gonna keep it close. They will
sledge hammer Derrick Henry and try to break through. Tannehill
will make enough plays. It will be low scoring. You're
talking about the big time pressure on Lamar Jackson, who
walked in last year to the playoff game with no pressure,
played poorly for three quarters and almost pulled off the
big upset in the fourth against the Chargers. Now he's
entering with all the pressure eyeballs on him. It will

(47:30):
be a tougher game than you think, but Baltimore will
still find a way up by a field goal or
one score in the fourth quarter. Everybody's gonna be shocked
that maybe the Titans can win this game. But Jackson
will make enough plays down the stretch and the Ravens
will win this game by ten. I'm saying sixteen Ravens

(47:55):
over the Titans. You set it up beautifully, you just
can't finish the job. Titans win, win. They get the
sledge hammer with Derrick Henry. You got Mark ingram Is
a little bit banged up, Mark Andrews a little bit
banged up. They sell out defensively and keep Lamar Jackson
in the pocket. All the creativity and the misdirection that

(48:16):
they've been able to do not so fast. Mike Vrabel
gets them laughing like jackals, just like he did a
week ago. And that look where it comes down to,
right is as you mentioned Tannehill, He's made the throws
a j Brown and you know the other wide receivers
are stepping up their games as you roll. So for

(48:36):
Jimmy Smith and for Marcus Peters, some big tests on
the outside. I don't think again, Tannehill is playing with
house money. That's the beautiful thing here. There's no pressure
on them at all. We talked about Kirk Cousins and
being able to just throw off all the ills of
past failure. For for the Titans, there's nothing there. I

(48:57):
think They're able to frustrate the Ravens. I'm afraid of
Justin Tucker. I gotta get another kicker in while I'm
at it. But I'm gonna take the Titans to do
the unthinkable chaos and end this magical run by the
Baltimore Ravens, Seahawks and the Packers the final game of
the weekend on Sunday three Pacific time kick off. I'd

(49:19):
love to pick the Seahawks. My Seahawks. I'd love to
pick them, I would, but unfortunately I watched them play
last week and yeah, it was not pretty. It wasn't
the game that look I thought Philadelphia would pull the upset.
Carson Wentz got hurt and then I knew that wasn't happening.
To go, give Josh McCown a hun but this was

(49:41):
played that played all games Sunday with a broken leg,
ham and straight broken arms ripped off the bone. Good God,
So Josh McCown played the whole game with with with
a hamstring ripped away from the bone. It was what
a great tough guy award. But the Seahawks last week
should have won this game going away, and it was
a one score game late in the fourth quarter and

(50:02):
they needed a goal line stand against Josh McCown to
win this football game. Not only that, then they needed
a prayer fifty yard pass from Wilson a dk metcalf
when they were going to give the ball back to
the Philadelphia Eagles. The losing of their running game has
really decimated them. They have still not figured out their
offense in the past three and a half weeks and

(50:25):
that they're not gonna do it against the Packers, whose
defense is really good, who are gonna be able to
control the football themselves. They're a dual threat team. This
is now an Aaron Jones driven team. And don't forget
that he's the number one weapon they have on that squad,
and Aaron Rodgers played support to him all season long.
If they try to stop Aaron Jones, you know Rogers

(50:46):
can still do it vice versa. I think the Packers
just a little bit too good for the Seahawks that
if they had their running game figured out, if they could,
if they if they had things to the point where
it was earlier in the season before every running back
they had got hurt, I would stick with my Seahawks.
But I don't see it happening in Green Bay. Packers win.
I'm not a believer in the Packers team as we

(51:07):
watched him throughout the year. Offensively, the run game has
been solid, and Aaron Jones, who had touted before the
year uh in the fantasy realm and people looking at
me like I was crazy. It's like, no I knew
what Mike McCarthy didn't bother to figure out last year.
That was his best chance to win football camps for
the Packers. He was their best runner and they didn't
realize it until it was too late. For the Packers,

(51:29):
you have one guy that you trust in the receiving corps.
You got Davante Adams, Yes, Lazard and some of the
others have stepped up Jimmy Graham on occasion, but with
the weather in full effect, we're talking ten to twelve
inches of snow at last last forecast, and and the
cold taps. Now. The one thing that had helped Seattle's offense,
even though they can't fall forward right seventeen carries nineteen

(51:51):
yards I believe it was a week ago, is that
the Packers aren't very good at defending down field passing.
I mean, like when we're talking going of the downs
with DK Metcalf or whatever you can get out of
Hollister or from Tyler Lockett. So whenever you've got Russell Wilson,
you have a puncher's chance and they'll keep it close.
So I like them plus the four or four and

(52:13):
a half depending where you're shopping right now. But I
think the ground game with Aaron Jones is too much
to overcome, and that they just bleed clock Twitter out.

I saw in the in the Catwoman outfit, and I
was like, Oh, I get it. I get it. I
get it. I get it. I mean I liked that.
I was never you know, crazy guy got friend Hathway.
And then I started like, oh okay, now like I

(54:02):
get it. I get it. That sometimes come late, you know, Yeah, exactly,
It's okay. It happens that way, even the narrow in
the intern. I mean, how could you not look? Anne
Hathaway was like I said, I just she's kind of
a big deal in this movie. Yeah, she's a big
deal in this movie. Yes. Fox Sports Radio, The Jason

(54:22):
Smith Show with Mike Carmen Live from the Geico Studios.
It's too early to take that ball and run. They're
not cast Ali Hayes, how'd they going on in Hathaway
she I think she was in the the alternate version.
You're probably right. Yeah, I'm gonna go out in a limb.
You know, that's what they do in Chatsworth is let's
take in. What do we got? We have a successful movie,

(54:44):
and now we're gonna do the adult film version of it.
All right, awesome, that's what we're gonna do. That works
superhero films. I mean China from the w W E.
She was the she hoole. It was called something else
rises fill in the blank. Well, I mean it's like
the Canadian um family feud clip that was making the

(55:05):
rounds earlier today. All right, so this was great, right,
so you've got they're tied. It's like, all right, one question,
one answer, Canadian family, Canadian family, kind of interesting, and
you still get two D points to win, or because
of the exchange rate, it's like two secs. I literally
only saw the one question because it made the rounds.
And the question was what is Popeye's favorite food? And

(55:31):
on one side, guy on on the right, woman buzzes in.
What do you think she buzzed chicken? She goes chicken
and she does this dance and a little shimmy and
everybody starts groaning. You could tell her family wanted to
curse her out, but they kept it clean so they
didn't chicken. The hosts like show me chicken, like does

(55:54):
the whole ship? Yeah, and the other guy just Laska
spinach done and that was chicken sandwiches. But here's all right,
I'm assuming the rules were the same. When they pulled
a hundred random people, only fifty four answered spinach. So
how have we lost Popeyee? As they know who Popeye's is,

(56:17):
I'll tell you what. That was a great video game.
By the way, you probably got people say listen, if
I don't know who a guy is, do I abstain? Yes,
abstain votes for Popeye? Abstain with the other forty Yeah. See,
normally they would say abstain only reply you know, refers
to one area of your life. But the you have
you abstained people usta, They abstained from votes in in
the Senate and the House all the time. I'm talking

(56:39):
about the general populace that would go Popeye's favorite food
and go chicken. Two and a half year old Popeye
exactly good Man raised him right, loves it, he fights brutus.
You gotta get some brutus in there. Squeeze that can
of spinach and eat it. It was a great video.
That was, I mean that was. That was an ingenious

(57:00):
way to get kids to eat spinach. Here's the strongest
guy in the world who eats power. Now you're having
trouble with it. No, I've never tried it. What spinach?
Wait too damn wait wait, Tight Shirt, how healthy is spinach?
You'd be surprised. It's actually not that healthy. What a surprise.
It's actually on the only thing that Tight Shirt buys
a g n C and he reads about online is

(57:22):
really healthy. Ti Shirts call him Popeye a fraud. Okay, listen,
first you've smirks the name of Popeye the sailor man.
First off, j don't be slandering the name of the
seventy two year old lady who helps me on g
n C and knows all the product names and in everything.
Okays of my grandside anyways, do not go to g NC.
Is there a fraud? But spinach? It's just like it's

(57:47):
it's just highly and they never will be after that.
In Tight shirts perfect world, nobody would eat anything. Everybody
would just take a pill at the beginning of the day,
and that would be it like want like you choose
gum Willy Wonka and oh, it feels like I'm eating
a steak dinner, tomato soup running down my throat and
then out and he blueberry, and I would I might

(58:10):
be one of the most un American things I've ever heard.
This guy just called Popeye the sailor Man of Fraud. Yes,
I mean that's like going after Captain America Americans of
all time. Listen to that tape. I never said that,
Now you did? Isn't good? And he did a good thing.
And you know his forearms weren't like infected with a
tumor or something. How do you know whoa that was?
That wasn't do you know saying? Wow, the guy is

(58:37):
a lisp going he was unhealthy? Whoa? What the hell
was Popeye was young? Not every kid could go to school.
Might not have been his fault. I just don't think
Popeye was very just mocked people with lisp. What the
hell's wrong with you? What I'm saying? That's what you said?
He was unhealthy and he had a lisp, Like what
do you do smoke a pipe all the time. Look,

(58:59):
didn't see that one of my kids got a lisp.
She's gonna come in and kick your ass. He might
have had conjunctive vitus. Could only open one eye. I
can't tie back to one uh one industry. Think my
childhood was fake compared and everything was fake. Everything you
ate that was good for you was not good for you.
Watch watch Collie flower is very popular? How is collie

(59:22):
flower health terrible? Never touch it? It has no nutrients.
That's why it's white. Do not touch it. Oh that's racist.
I'm leaving man. Alright, alright, alright, what what watches one more? Alright?
What about carrots? Sie shirt? How healthy your carrots? They
are genetically modified to their core? Do not touch them?

(59:44):

How do you address it? I love the guy, he's fake.
It's kids, kids. I love you. Any any food? What

(01:00:06):
The New Diet Book by Alex Teitscher. We'll have him
on the show next to I could save Tom Brady's career.
I'll tell you that. Oh, Popeye is a front who
all right, we need to regroup. We inconds. We're gonna
have the Oh Boys save the day. Steve in nine seconds,

(01:00:27):
we will have a story involving the NFL playoffs this
weekend that you could go help a team win a
football game. But first be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. The Packers need some
serious manpower well, and they need more help on the

(01:00:48):
old line No no, no, and they need a little
bit no no in the receiving corps. They need seven
hundred people, seven hundred. The Packers are asking for seven
hundred fans aged eighteen years are older to show up
to Lambeau Field at six am Sunday morning to help

(01:01:09):
shovel snow. The region is expecting a lot of snowfall
Saturday night and into Sunday morning, and the Packers need
the field cleared. They also need the stands cleared so
people can sit. So they want seven hundred fans on
Sunday eighteen years are older to show up and help
shovel snow. You got to bring a certification like you

(01:01:30):
went through a physical I assume you have to bring
some kind of I D that shows your eighteen years.
Gotta bring your own shovel. No, no, no, you will
get when you show up, you will get a shovel
and you will get twelve dollars an hour compensation. Twelve
dollar an hour. That's what they are offering. That's they

(01:01:52):
will offer you. We get this story all the time, right,
here's a playoff game. People need the you know, teams
need uh snow shoveled. We we we get this all
the time. But just think about the what they're offering
to people. The packers. They make a lot of money. Okay,
I'm not shoveling my walk. I'm paying someone to shovel,

(01:02:17):
so I don't have to come do it, right, I
have to go. But me, a's me. I'm in my
forty I'm in my late forties now, so I'm not
gonna go out and shovel if I don't have to.
Generally speaking, I mean, I gotta imagine that's the idea
of most particularly when we're talking about ten to fifteen
dollars an hour. See you, and if I'm paying someone
to shovel my house, they're getting more than twelve dollars
an hour. I mean it's gonna take them whatever it is.

(01:02:39):
Say it takes you forty five minutes to shovel. Uh,
you know, your walk, your driveway, whatever, that's a lot
of work. I'm not gonna pay some kid. Hey, that's great,
here's twelve bucks. You gotta give that kid like forty,
right the packers, this should be double the money. This
should be We'll give you fifty an hour to come
shovel because it's not like you can shovel and stop
and go in for hot coke when come back out

(01:03:00):
and no, hey, you know what you're shoveling from here.
Start at this end of the stadium, okay, and you
shovel this row all the way to the end of
the stadium, all the way to the end where am
I putting the snow, and don't worry about it. Just
shovel off. I mean, that's twelve dollars an hour. You
got more money than that. You got to offer people
more than that to come and say, I'm gonna shovel
something that is not my own property and I'm not
even getting a ticket to the game. No, I mean

(01:03:22):
I get that. You want me to walk away and
be able to say to my friends. You know I
went to Lambo and shovel. Yeah it's me, that's me
right here. I shoveled this morning. It was great. No,
you are gonna break your back for god knows how long,
and you gotta do it at six o'clock in the
morning for twelve dollars an hour. Come on, suck it up,
Green Bay. You have the money. Give people fifty bucks
an hour so they'll show up and do it. Come on,

(01:03:43):
you can you can afford to pay out thirty five
grand to get rid of the snow. Yeah, but here's
the problem. You're gonna have more than seven dope show
up at this rate. So why offer more money when
you don't have to? Right, make sure you've got a
couple of people and a couple of medical staff attendee.
He's on hand for those, you know, the inevitable heart attacks.
And I'm sorry, I'm starting to get into the Simpsons

(01:04:05):
when Mr Plow was in the mix. But the idea
that you know they're freezing their hands or feet or whatever.
Make sure you've got people on stuff. But you're gonna
have so many people line up. Come on, we've got
to save our stadium. That they know, they don't have
to pay out reasonable dollar amounts or give them anything
in a value. Right, I mean, do you get to

(01:04:26):
keep the crappy shovel they give you? Is it a
packers shovel? Is a commemorative of any way shape or from? No,
what do you got? I got I gotta mark some
more shovel? What do you go? To? The point? Right?
We had some fun with the Kyle Rudolph's story earlier
in the week, right and the madness that ensued their
Uh the guy that did buy them on eBay, they
were delivered to him, so he's ready to get him

(01:04:47):
to the children's hospital. So that's a good thing. But
the idea that maybe if you're the packers, you know what,
for those seven people, they get each member of the
team to sign a couple of things and a couple
both lucky folks will walk off with an Aaron Rodgers
signed whatever, eight by ten uh signed mini helmet, whatever

(01:05:08):
they've got around that they decide to roll through. The
cost is nothing. The goodwill is there, so maybe you've
got something that But in terms of actually given them
more cash, no, they've shown in the past that they'll
show up for a cup of coffee and the ability
to say I shoveled snow at Lambo. I thought about
sending Shot Scott Shapiro out there, Uh because being a

(01:05:29):
Vikings fan, he could create some holes and make it
disadvantageous for the packers and screw up their surface. Uh
he laughed, he said, I decline. Um, but just the
idea that for seven people, yeah, more than seven hundred
folks locally are going to show up to do that.
What are they gonna do with all the yellow snow. Well,
there's gonna be one or two guys that go go

(01:05:50):
that route, uh and maybe lay out a packers suck
kind of Notice. I'll tell you some of the best
advice you'll ever get in your life is not eating
yellow snow. Don't eat yellow snow. Oh, you live by experience.
You will, you will live like that. I didn't understand
when I was first told that don't eat any yellow snow.
I'm like, okay, And then then I'm like, oh why,

(01:06:11):
and my mom, because that's what dogs are cats, that's
where animals are actually scented candles that are yellow snows.
And if you're in San Francisco, I mean not that
it snows but you know along the periphery it's lemon exactly. Oh,
it snows all right up there. No, but look, you
got that whole thing going to don't don't push this
thing like it's a badge of honor to go shovel

(01:06:32):
snow for the for the packers. But people, you've got
seven hundred dopes that will be lined up there like
it's the greatest thing. Ever, how do you get Brett
Farve to come on his tractor from Mississippi? You got
that too, But you have you know, you get to
take a picture of yourself on land on the surface. Hey,
for some that's invaluable, Okay, for youns the team, the

(01:06:54):
town owns the team. You think you do it anytime
you want to. Yeah, I don't. I don't know that.
Let go take a picture. I'm still think there's some
security program guarantee you. I could get a picture of
myself at Lambo anytime I want to. That's not a
game day, and I don't have to go shovel snow
to do it. It's called the green screen. Can pull
that off too. But yeah, why pay anybody any more

(01:07:14):
than you have to if you've decided that twelve dollars
an hour. Whatever your research is going, right, Yeah, I
guarantee it. There's more than seven people that show up
for their better to people. Be better to people, as
you always say, people are sheep. People are sheep. Yeah,
so be better to these people. Give them fifty bucks
an hour. You can do it. Fifty bucks an hour
is okay, just six o'clock in the morning, and to

(01:07:37):
go shovel snow. That's not And you're getting paid the
hell for fifty bucks an hour. I'd get on a plane.
You know you can buy Green Bay. These people are
donating what's left of their backs to shovel snow to
watch the Packers play a playoff game. Now, I think
that four days out of the year at six and

(01:08:00):
the been reving up for this moment their whole lives.
Six in the morning, you're sleeping waiting for the game
to be later on in the day. Go Seahawks. Maybe
maybe you'd already started your tailgating procedures. Maybe you're getting
your grill right, So why not. I'm trying to stand
up for the people, and you guys are standing up
from keep them, saying keep the money in your pockets.

(01:08:21):
Twitter At how about a Fresca. Mike has swollen down
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Got more football
on the way. Oh by the way, this is our
last show before the National Championship Games. So we are
going to pick Clemson L s U. Everybody in Vegas
is favoring one team. Are we going L s U
or not? Which it's next? On Fox? That's an upset

(01:08:43):
right there. They'd both beat the Browns. Come on. Be
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app.
Oh no, I really wanted Seema. I want to see
we can make that happen. Still waiting on that Champagne

(01:09:03):
or one of those Bacardi drinks that's like half beer
half Piccardi in the bottle that they was popular like
in two thousand seven. I want that in the racka tacosh.
This is Rush, right, yes, this is Rush. Yeah, we
kept with the theme. I knew the guy was going
to town on the drums here. Yeah, well that this
was his show from today, Rush Limba, So right now,

(01:09:24):
just under ten minutes ago in the fourth quarter, the
Mavericks starting to lose composure a little bit. One oh
six eighty six is your score. The Lakers are up
by twenty. There goes the jacket. Well, you got thrown out.
He got himself each there. Rick car Lyland gotten into

(01:09:45):
it with Lebron James before the end of the first half,
Yes he did. They were jawing quite a bit. And
here you have a disputed call down on the baseline
on and out of bounds call. I think Lebron texted
out him silver to have Carl I'll thrown out of
the game. He had a te already earlier in the game,
and he was upset over this last call that was

(01:10:05):
an out of bounds call. He started screaming at the officials.
That's currently under review. Yeah, he gets thrown out, throws
his jacket is yelling and screaming on his way out again.
The Mavericks getting drugged by twenty. Uh. Still a lot
of time to go in this game, still just under

(01:10:25):
ten minutes left to go, but it's the Lakers by twenties,
starting the fourth quarter with a seven oh run. They
lead at one oh six to eight six. We'll have
more on this game coming up in a few minutes.
But this is our last show before the National Championship
game on Monday night. Clemson is the underdog, not only

(01:10:46):
point spread wise, but as far as Vegas goes most
of the money. In fact, the majority of the money
bet on this game is on l s U. And
and reading today, all the bookmakers and all and all
the casino reps said, if L s U wins, we're
in trouble. But not just because Vegas very rarely has

(01:11:10):
days like this. Clemson is gonna win this game. I'll
tell and the best news is, I'll tell you why. Sadly,
I I agree with you. I really was going hot taken.
If if Ohio State had one, I would take Ohio State.
L s U is gonna get a bounce off of
their game from a couple of weeks ago. You're not

(01:11:31):
gonna play at that level. That's just not how it
works in sports. There's a long time off for them,
all right, Clemson is a much better team than Oklahoma was. Now,
are they a better team than L s U. You
look at the roster. No, L s u's roster is better,
but they're better enough. They've been there before. They've want

(01:11:53):
you look, you take out a couple of losses to Alabama,
they're like seventy five and two. Since two thousand and fifteen,
they have always found a way. I can see l
s U playing rocky early and trying to figure things out,
basically a home game for them, trying to figure out
their nerves, their pressure, their flow versus a much more
talented team than they've played in a long time. I

(01:12:16):
can see Joe Burrow getting desperate, throwing fifty fifty balls
up there and getting picked off. If the offensive LSU
struggles early, they will panic. That's not gonna happen for Clemson.
Trevor Lawrence has done this too many times. This is
a different spotlight for l s U. It will be
a bit of an ugly type game, not quite a

(01:12:41):
survived game by Clemson, but enough where it's enough of
a war of attrition. Clemson wins this football game. They
win the national championship. They win it at a thirty
one one final score. Clemson is your nation. You got
the town. I wrote it down right here, look at you.
Earlier in the show, by the way, touchdown from Clemson

(01:13:03):
from I L s U. While what six seven points
is what you're getting, uh if you're backing Clemson in
this one. Like, you've got guys that have been there
Dabbo swiney in big moments. That's when we're talking about
the NFL games. You've got guys who have not played
in the playoffs, guys who haven't coached in the playoffs,
so you're not quite sure how they're gonna respond. So

(01:13:24):
you have those questions here with the defense of Clemson
making up plays. Trevor Lawrence, We've seen it with his arm,
We've seen it with his legs, and I think it's
just enough to make the difference Dabs here that he
does he does from from having a lot of spinach.
So the idea that you have Dabbo versus coach oh

(01:13:48):
and everybody loves that order on he takes it out
of the chin here. Final, Trevor Lawrence is gonna have
a big day. It's gonna be the day that cements
him being the number one pick in the NFL Draft
a year from now. He could take next year off.
Should he don't take that year off, you're all good.
Shut it down. So both of us like Clemson in

(01:14:09):
the upset. I like him thirty one twenty one you
like him thirty one twenty I got the Tigers winning.
That's a good pick. Tigers are good play Cleveland, Go
Tigers Twitter at how about a Fresca? Mike and Swollen
Dome Coming up next, Bill O'Brien and the Fan who
Really Sucks. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,

(01:14:30):
seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. Hour three of the show,
That Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen.
Come shove on my snow for free. Smith. You know
I'm getting a lot of tweets from people we did
the story last hour. The Packers want seven hundred people
eighteen years of age or older to come to Lambeau
Field Sunday morning at six am to shovel snow so

(01:14:54):
the field and the stands are clear for their playoff
game against the Seahawks. Twelve bucks hour, six am. You're
gonna shovel until the work is done. They're expecting heavy
snowfall Saturday night into Sunday morning. And look, I think
you can treat people better than that, Jason. You can
give twelve dollars an hour in Wisconsin is like fifty

(01:15:16):
seven dollars anywhere else. Yeah, I know, but the packers
have the money. You mean, beers you can buy with
twelve dollars and you buy a lot. You could buy
a lot. But how about if you're having people come,
you know, asked hold on a Sunday morning at six
am to shovel that's gonna be backbreaking work. What else
are they doing? Sleeping? Sleeping? But them are willing to

(01:15:38):
get up. You're not inducting them that an army to
show up. You are taking advantage of people and and
asking packers fans, Hey, it's a badge of honor, you know,
to come shovel snow for the packers when you can
give them fifty bucks an hour and do it night.
You can pay thirty five grand to people who do it.
And I'm getting a lot of people in my online

(01:16:00):
saying I'm in Green Bay, my brother and I would
do it for free. Many people do it for free. Yeah,
so don't take advantage of those people that are showing
up to do it for free. And the packers gonna
go yep, free labor. No, we weren't gonna pay anybody.
This is gonna be that's and fandom in the world, right,
And if it's a big check that has the packers
logo on it, many people don't cash that. So hey,
yepna make out a check. I mean, just treat people right,

(01:16:23):
That's all I'm saying. Treat you have the money, you
can treat people right and do it. Do it right,
We can do. The idea that you even get to
the point where you're asking for seven people to begin
with is problematic. But once we accept that as your
base and your premise here after that it becomes a
all right, what will the market bear twelve bucks an hour?
Can we go ten? Now we gotta go twelve. Okay,

(01:16:45):
we'll go twelve. Because people are gonna get turned away.
They're gonna get turned away. There's gonna be more than
seven hundred dopes that truck out there at five thirty
in the morning to make sure they have the honor
of shoveling. Don't take advantage of those people. No, it's capitalism,
American way man. Why they love more than life and

(01:17:07):
God and everything. There's a whole other cause value associated
than this the twelve bucks Jason Smith, Because if yes,
they would do it, I'm not saying they wouldn't. I'm
not saying they wouldn't happily do it. But how about
instead of taking advantage of that, you actually help them
get hot chocolate and cheese party. Instead of getting a

(01:17:29):
dollar at all, you're still gonna get a chocolate and cheese.
All right? What could you do some cool things? If
here's some giveaways? You know, you you get your shovel,
and then there's a little bag and shovels are made
of cheese. Well there's that too, and maybe you get
an autograph photo or whatever. There's ways to eat. Oh yeah,
I wouldn't even start stuffing. I would just start eating.
That guy just took his shovel and left. He just

(01:17:51):
he just ate the hands first, sir, this guy stole
my shovel. You don't have any any shovel part of
your shovel left? Nope. Yeah, but we can get you
on the National inquire as a rat like individs for
I'd like a goodah shovel if possible, Thank you very much.

hang out with Mike McCarthy. Maybe he was getting on
a plane so he can shovel snow in Green Bay.
Oh maybe yeah, because that's your guy's over fifty want

(01:19:17):
to go do is break their backs and shovel snow
on Sunday morning. My back is hurting right now just
talking about this story. That's because you're weak. No, it's
just because I'm the chair and said, this is a chair.
It's a chair, it's nothing chair, that's what it is.
So you're lobbying for fresh chairs. I could have said that.

(01:19:37):
I could have said you sucked Frostburg, you suck you
blank or blank. I did, but I could have said
that as well, But instead I saved that for Bill.
You could say, we won't dumb it. Uh. Earlier today,
audio surfaced on TMZ from the Texans game three weeks
ago against the Denver Broncos. Again, the Texans loss of

(01:19:58):
the Broncos four. They were trailing at halftime thirty one
to three. This is a very shocking game at the
Broncos with no offense. Show up in Houston and get
up thirty one three at halftime. Again. This is audio
that just surfaced earlier today. TMZ had it. This is
Bill O'Brien, Texans head coach, who is now getting ready

(01:20:18):
for a playoff game this week and has to deal
with this. The audio is him walking into the tunnel
at halftime. You're gonna hear a fan right outside the
tunnel yell you suck, coach, and then through a lot
of bleeps, you're gonna hear his response. And then it's
DeAndre Hopkins who comes in at the end and saves
Bill O'Brien from further embarrassment. You suck to you, sucked

(01:20:50):
to you, blanker, blanker, And there's the honor Hopkins at
the end, going coach, coach, coach, come on, coach, come on, coach, coach,
coach say, come on, let's play it one more time.
The beginning a little low, but you hear the fans say, coach,
you suck. And then it's Bill O'Brien losing it on
this fan at halftime. You sucked to you black or

(01:21:15):
blank He was hot. He did apologize for this because
the video got out today, so he had to address
it at his press conference getting set for the game
this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs. And here's Bill
O'Brien's response as he brings up the video that's been circulating. Well,
I mean he gave up thirty one first half point. Yeah,

(01:21:38):
they did suck. They were down to three and halftime.
He deserved every bit of it. The guy it's it's
tough to hear, but he hears me. He goes you
suck and that apparently that was the final fuse in
Bill O'Brien's head. You suck, you suck too, which really
is not the greatest comeback. You suck, you suck to

(01:21:58):
you suck more? Oh, you suck more? No, you know you?
Popeye is a fraud, worst fight ever. You gotta listen
to the whole show with popeyees. At listen of the
whole show, only one of us thinks popeyees a fraud
tie shirt. And I'm not gonna say who it was,
who was it? But here was it. Here is Bill
O'Brien apologizing for his words and the video earlier today.

(01:22:21):
I was made aware of a video that's out there
and um, at a halftime in the Denver game, coming
off the field, you know I used inappropriate language. Uh,
and I just want to apologize for that. You've had
hard knocks, You've been to a lot of this stuff before.
What's it like when that when you see that video
and that that appears and you you're forced to address
it during a playoff. Yeah, no, I apologize for it,
you know, like I said, UM, you know, just inappropriate

(01:22:44):
um comments, and you know, like I said, I apologize
for it, and uh sorry that it happened. And you
suck to blank or blanket for asking me that question.
I'd like to know why this video appears. Now you
suck from investigation on that. How about you go investigate
that leaked this video? Andy Reid, come on seriously, like Denver,

(01:23:06):
you know, having some fun, right, But I mean this
is this game was in Houston. Yeah, so you can't
say it was the Broncos, right unless they went in
and put in some recording merchant, you know, fixtures there,
which is a whole other scandal if you want to
go down head road. Right. So this is someone in house.

(01:23:29):
This was a motivational tactic by Texans and somewhere in there.
This is like the equivalent of when a baseball player
has a big game in the playoffs, then you find
these tweets they've had earlier in their life that somehow

(01:23:49):
magically surface right around the time that's most embarrassing for them.
I mean, really, somebody had this waited till the most
inopportune time. Okay, let me throw this out there now,
because on a Saturday is kind of tough. Yeah, Josh
Hayner was that happened with him with other guys too,
Right with Josh Allen, Right, the night of the draft

(01:24:09):
happened with Josh Allen um And so Friday, Okay, this
is still a newsday. People are paying attention. This gets
out early in the day, becomes a story, and now
it's embarrassing for the Houston Texans. Somebody's got a lot
of money on the Chiefs this week. It's pretty funny though.
Right with with Bill O'Brien, and I wouldn't have apologized
the guy ticked me off. We were getting killed because

(01:24:33):
the apology rings holl No, but he's he's he's the
head coach, and he's the guy that should know better
because he is the head coach. I understand losing your cool.
I get it. If you're a player, I I understand.
I mean, it's it's still certain things that players should
know better. But you're a coach and you're the guy
supposed to be setting the example. You're supposed to be

(01:24:53):
the guy, But why are you getting up and try
to fight? You know, but why are you giving a
troll and and a and a critic and someone who
just wants to go to your skin? Why are you
letting them win by responding to them? It's like people,
It's like k D On Twitter last night we talked
about Kevin Durant couldn't couldn't stand people on Twitter, even
former teammates saying Russell Westbrook was a better Oklahoma City
thunderplayer than he was, thank you note, Okay, but that

(01:25:16):
at least you know, this is a player who's standing
up for himself. This is O'Brien. He's the head coach.
He's the guy that's supposed to know better. He's the
guy that and he's a fifty year old man. Look,
I've lost my cool before playing sports. I'm just playing
beer League, softball and hockey. I mean, I've seen you, coach,
and I've lost I've lost my cool. But that's when
I'm twenty eight years old. Bill O'Brian's a fifty year

(01:25:40):
old man. You gotta know that the fire still burns.
O'Brien still fired. Her fire can burn without yelling at
a guy who yells you suck to you. How many
times have people yelled you suck at Bill O'Brien with
the course of his life, Probably thousands of times, because
he's a coach and when you lose, fans are upset.
The owner tells him that every day he walks in

(01:26:01):
the facility when you're down thirty one three and half time, yeah,
you did suck in the first time. Might have been
yelling at it. The ownership might have been yelling at
him at halftime last week for that first half effort
that they put out there. We're clearing out and it
turns out to be the owner McNair's heg uh no,

(01:26:24):
look this is I understand him getting upset because he's emotional.
He's coming off the field. He just watch his team
get waxed by a team that is not nearly it
shouldn't be on the same field as them. But there's
still times. There's no such thing as fighting words when
you're a coach, even when you're a player. There's no
such thing as someone can say from the stands that

(01:26:45):
makes you say I had to go fight him after
he said that. No, you can ignore people who are trolls,
who are saying crappy things about you, your mom, your wife,
whatever it is. You ignore those idiots, right, But but
you can't just like, well this guy said, no, no, no,
you you're the coach of a football team. You can
ignore that. You're a star player on a on a

(01:27:05):
basketball team. You can ignore that. You can ignore when
people say stuff to you. You know. Oh no, no,
I had to be challenged, my man. No, he's just
an idiot in the stands. This wearing a jersey that's
got all kinds of wing sauce spilled on it because
he got piste off. When Lock threw his third touchdown
of the first half, he goes, oh, crap, spill all
that weight socks. You suck. That's probably what he was

(01:27:27):
mad for. You ignore these people, especially when you are
the head coach. Well, I agree that the apology rings hollow. Yeah,
I'm sorry it got out. Well look, he wasn't apologizing
if the video didn't get out. But it's like, there's
nothing legit to that. I I they tell me I've
got to apologie. Yeah, they tell me a video is out,

(01:27:48):
and I remember that video. Coach coach, coach, coach, and
and thank God for DeAndre Hopkins who steps in before
something really even worse could happen. You know what you
see is our buddy Evan from TMZ Sports. There, well
go after him, Twitter at how about a Fresca Mike,

(01:28:54):
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart
Radio app Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with
My best friend Mike Harmon. Make it twenty six points
for Kyle Kuzma tonight he gets the boast game interview.
I'm the real slim shady. Lakers beat the Mavericks on

(01:29:17):
a game in which featured Luka don Chich ripping his
jersey down the middle. What you're gonna do after a
missed free throw? In true Hulk Hogan style? Rick Carlisle
getting ejected in the fourth quarter for his second technical.
Brother just got ejected. Whoa whoa whoa whoa wha No no, no,
no possibility is the Lebron goes for thirty five, sixteen rebound,

(01:29:42):
seven assist. The Lakers without Anthony Davis win this game
over the Mavericks a huge deal. Will get to this
game coming up in about ten minutes. But oh boy,
all right, so we have to talk about this now.
It's starting to it's starting to make its way around,
and I was hoping it would just die a death,

(01:30:02):
just burying. It's on fire. I wish I was hoping
this story could be thrown deep into the cave of
wonders for a thousand years. It was well done. You're
watching it on Disney Plus. Sorry, how long ago was it?
The late Frostburg The Lakers had a guy hit a
half court shot and he won a hundred grand That

(01:30:23):
is correct, right, that was a couple of weeks ago, right,
that was literally last week. Lad of a big deal.
Lakers had a guy hit a half court shot. You
know when they bring a fan out onto the court. Shoot,
you got one shot from half court, you make it,
you win money. Lakers gave the guy a hundred thousand dollars.
One hundred thousand thousand dollars. Tonight the Knicks. The Knicks

(01:30:46):
lose at home to New Orleans, which is embarrassing enough
that a fourteen and five team can come to Madison
Square Garden and win a game by a dozen. Zion
must have had like thirty. Yeah he did, he did.
He actually had. By the way, nobody showing up the
garden either. But I know it's Pelican's Knicks on a
Friday night. But some of the pan pans we've got

(01:31:07):
of the crowd man a lot of a lot of
empty seats. So that was bad enough for the Knicks.
But the highlight of the game was they had a
fan hit a half court shot. Oh yeah, he's fantastic.
The guy takes a couple of steps, no form, kind
of looked like he hadn't shot a basketball long time. Well, well, look,
you know, just like the Knicks. No one's just gonna
hit a couple of dribbles and then hit a shot

(01:31:28):
from half court. No one's gonna do that. You gotta
take a running, running jump and then chuck it up.
And that's what the guy does. He could now start
for the Knicks. So the guy it's a half court
shot and he's running around the court going crazy. After
you know, the players on the on on the quarter
are excited for what are they called the Seventh Avenue Squad.
The people that are out there hyping up there, they're there.

(01:31:51):
It's awesome, that's awesome. So guy, it's a half court
shot for the Knicks. James Dolan is worth approximately two
billion dollars. The knicksion the Knicks Madison Square Garden probably
worth about five billion dollars. Yeah, how much money do
you think the guy got for making that shot from

(01:32:12):
half court. How much think you got, chicken, think you
got I think you gotta think you got a call back?
What do you think? Hundred billion dollars. Didn't quite get that.
Didn't quite get that fifty thousand dollars, quarter of a
million dollars, quarter of a million dollars. It is New York.

(01:32:36):
Did not get a quarter of a million dollars. Did
not get two hundred thousand dollars, saying two, did not
get three million, did not get seventy five thousand dollars.
A new car on a hundred ground Oh that's good contract. No,
did not get a new car. Should have he hit
the half court shot ten days he played shooting guard

(01:32:59):
because you know, Kevin Knox has not been Nope, did
not get fifty grand the head coaching job. Did not
get the head coach. He turned it down. He turned
it down. You could be the head coach. Or get
what fine? Door number two, door number two, give me
the door number two. I know what he got. What
he got a week with John Stamos. They did not.
That's just weird. That was second prize. Second prize was

(01:33:23):
a week with John Stamos. You know what. Third prize
was third prize was two weeks with John stas shit
around brushing each other's hair. Now they would, they would
absolutely be brushing each other's head. Do you like stuff
comb my hair head? Maybe you were in the Cocomo
video when you played the drums man the Beach Boys. No, no,

(01:33:49):
he's putting his hair in a ponytail again. No you did.
You did not win a week with John Stamos. I'm done.
Then you did not. You did not win twenty five
thousand dollars. We didn't win twenty five dollars. Didn't win
twenty thousand dollars. No, no, no, didn't win a new
car a new car. Didn't win ten thousand dollars? Did

(01:34:13):
you win like a day with Patrick? Didn't win? You
get to carry Patrick Ewing's bags for a day. You
did not win five thousand dollars, just really starting. You
did not win a night to watch a game next
to Charles Oakley. This is trending poorly. You did. You
did not win twenty five hundred dollars making a half

(01:34:37):
court shot. You gotta be not. No, you you didn't
high five. You did not win a chance to make
a trade for Kyle Kuzma. You did not win two
thousand dollars. You gotta bed. You did not win two
thousand all. You did not win fifteen hundred dollars for

(01:34:57):
making a half court shot. You did not win a
thousand dollars. What you won was a thousand dollars shift
to win in scratch off tickets. Yes, come on, that's
a gift that keeps giving. It's not just one novelty check.

(01:35:19):
You've got a whole night's activity for you and your friends.
The lowest this is, This is where you know what
the Knicks can't have nice things, can't have bad things.
But this goes back to the Packers thing, didn't it?
I thought, listen, this guy made a half court shot,
and conceivably, depending how long it takes to shovel, we're

(01:35:42):
gonna give you a chance to win a million. A
guy could show up and shovel in Green Bay on
Sunday morning to sevel the snow for the playoff game
and make more money than this guy did. Make it
a half court shot. Actually, that's kind of funny, right,
because say puts in an eight hour shift at twelve
bunch an hour, ninety six bucks. You gotta think that
you just give my hundred rounded off. But just say
you get a hundred bucks, ye okay on those thousand

(01:36:05):
dollars of scratchers. You I don't know what the expected
return is. We'd have to look at the odds on
the back, don't you. Expected value might be you may
you may win more. You're expected value might be less
than a hundred dollars. If that guy would be smart,
he put that on eBay. He put these thousands scratchers
on eBay. This is on I mean, really, this is

(01:36:26):
so totally You wanted to frame that like you wanted
to frame your check from the back. You know, you know,
how does okay? How does how does that you were
so frustrated by your nick story would go away? The
other thing is that the potential that they're engaging in

(01:36:48):
talks on Andre Drummond. So there is actually legitimate basketball
news associated with the Knicks. And then you have this
a thousand dollars and scratchers and scratchers. You could make
shoveling snow for the packers on Sunday, then you would
by making this this this shot right here, How does

(01:37:11):
you know this? Lakers gave it? Dude to hundred grand
in I know I don't well, I don't think him
do in cash. I don't think Rob. I don't think
Rob Blake came down with just he was likely he
had a briefcase handcuffed, because that's when Magic Johnson went
on Twitter and took credit for that guy making that show.

(01:37:32):
Guy from NBC deliver the envelope. What's his name, Howie something? Alright?
Oh yeah, I need I need some time. I need
some time. Deal. We'll have more on more on this
story coming up in ninety seconds, but first be sure
to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with

(01:37:54):
Mike Harman weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
You know, I want to know how an idea like
this actually makes it to fruition. With the Knicks, the
Knicks had a guy, a fan. They invited a fan
half court make a shot like you see it all
the NBA games, and if you make the shot, you
want a decent amount of money. Lakers gave a guy
a hundred thousand dollars last week to make a half

(01:38:15):
court shot. Guy Knicks fan tonight makes a half court shot.
Really the only shot the Knicks made tonight because they
lost to the Pelicans at home one and he makes
it and he wins a thousand dollars in scratch off
ticket thousands in scratch now thousand dollars. After having some
time to to think about this, I I'm going to

(01:38:37):
ask the following questions. All right, well the Knicks put
it out on Twitter, sponsored by the New York Lottery
and celebrated it. How do you how do you? Okay,
of course they did. Don't blame us. It's the New
York Lottery. That's all they would give us. Uh, okay,
do you think it was? They were all the dollar
scratch off, a couple of fives, or here you get

(01:39:00):
one thousand dollars scratch off. Here it's one. Oh you lost.
So when you go to a casino, here's your one
spin at a million dollars. Here's what you get. You
get a half price buffet. Uh did they just have
Did they just have a whole thing where they told
all employees, Hey, if you come in from Christmas and
if you have any leftover scratchers, bring him in. We're

(01:39:22):
gonna do something for a fan sometime in the middle
of January. Anybody got any extra stocking stuffer is laying around?
I mean, is this part of their promotion that expired, right,
they had something for the holidays, and as soon as
it got to the new year, they said, all right,
we're not gonna sell these at retail anymore, so let's
put him in smart of the This is the Knicks
thinking this was a good idea, guaranteed. So I mean again,

(01:39:44):
I like the idea of saving yourself some money, especially
when it causes some embarrassment, uh, and some fodder for
us here at Fox Sports training. I don't know how
you think that that's a good idea. Like, that's something
you give a fan who just you know, go goes
on the court and has to drop the basketball from
one end to the other, and like that's the old
balance after spinning around with your head on a bag.

(01:40:06):
That's do something stupid for like but you make it,
or you you do so but you make a shot
from half court. Yeah, no, it's the standards been set
for what you get. You get a decent amount of
cash for that. Yeah, January fifth was the grand But
you give a thousand dollars and scratch off. Look, if
you can spin the ball on your finger for three seconds,

(01:40:28):
that guy was, I guarantee you he didn't know what
he was gonna win. Hey, what am I gonna win? Dude?
You go ahead, shoot, shoot, shoot? Do I at least
get a couple of tickets to Hamiltons or Beetle Juice
before it closes? No, come on, man, tell me what
beetle juice? Beetle but you juice? Come on, mandamn cheap chase.
And they probably tried to move the basket as he

(01:40:48):
was shooting. Tell me what I can win? I won't
do it. Hey, well, last week the Lakers gave a
guy a hundred grand to make the show. All right,
I'll do it. Hey, where's my hunder grant? No, I
just said the Lakers did. We're gonna give you a
thousand dollars and scratch off tickets. Gotta be in it
to win it. Here you go scratch off. Someone saying
the price should have been to jam with Dolan's You

(01:41:09):
gotta get that guy on the show. Actually we can
find out what he wants. And that was third prize
was getting the jam with Dolan's band. That was third proment.
You get to go. That's why it's third prize. It's
actually goes. It was thousand dollars and scratch off. Second
prize a week with John Stamos. Third prize was two
weeks with John Stamos. Fourth prize is package is taking

(01:41:29):
enticeher uh security? Yeah, I already called it. That j
a silent auction. You've got no chance. I I mean,
I don't. I really this is you know, I always
say that my best job outside of radio would be
as a consultant public relations wise to the stars. And
when something is going on, you don't know how to

(01:41:49):
react to something. Should I say something on social media?
Should I not? I will tell you how to proceed
so you don't get a lot of unwanted heat. My
other great job would be, okay, you tell me team
what you want to do in giveaways, and I'll tell
you if this is a good idea or not. And
I would tell the Knicks, how does this idea get
out of Yeah, I don't understand how it gets out

(01:42:11):
of committee, because you got to think, what if the
guy makes it? You know, they walked out of the
meeting going, Guy's not gonna make it. Man, don't worry
about it, just being stupid. We got a whole free
giveaway from the New York State Lottery Commission what are
you worried about? Just shut up and do your job.
All right, that's not gonna happen, right, mean unless the
fixes in to where one of these like a twenty
dollar prize and those scratchers I'm not even kidding though

(01:42:34):
he won thousand dollars, right, No, I want would you scratch?
Would would you take the thousand dollars and scratchers? Or
would you try to sell them? Who's gonna buy them? Oh?
People see dollars bad, but you can't get Yeah, you

(01:42:56):
can get. You would sell these thousand dollars and scratchers
and get a thousand dollars at least you could get
that from the Knicks event. It's a fun. Look, I'll
tell you what there is. They're not getting a dollar. Listen,
you'd be surprised there is a subculture of lottery scratchers
out there that you have. No it's like living on
the dark web. I mean you would be surprised at

(01:43:18):
people trust me because it's part of your Alie Hayes. No, no, no, no, no, no,
Alie Hayes has nothing to do with this. Just stop.
I know sub members of my wife's family, sub members
of the people you visit. Are these are the people
you visited Detroit? These are the people you knuckle these

(01:43:39):
are these are the people when you go to Detroit
you hear stories about people who know these people. Right,
that's that's that's how far removed are you. There is
a guy there is there is a scratch off subculture
that is just manic for stuff like this. He could
go on eBay and say I'm the fan that won this.
Immediately he would get his money back. Someone would buy

(01:44:00):
a thousand dollars in scratchers. He would probably get more
because I'm the guy from the Knicks game, and if
you win, you're a bigger story because guess what, I
got these tickets from the Knicks guy, and I want
more money. So he would at least get a grand,
probably more if he sold us. Because the thing I
think there is something to the effect of there the

(01:44:23):
logic and you might be able to put this out
here is it's like people do with baseball carys, like
this is a hot pack. Right. I went through the
box and I was supposed to get two autographs. I
only got one. So this has to have an autograph. Thereby,
you should give me some premium for this last pack
that was out of my box. Meanwhile they're sitting there
with the entire box and they're doing this four times
or thirty six times. But the idea being ei there

(01:44:45):
from the Knicks. There's gotta be a winner in here. Right.
They wouldn't just give me a thousand dollars and scratchers, right,
please help? They wouldn't just give me a thousand dollars
and scratchers for hitting a half court shot. And maybe
you can find someone and talked them into the expected
value being higher because of the nixt time. There you go,
that's exactly how it's gonna work. It's potentially um disastrous

(01:45:09):
for them, but yeah, you're Nicks. You know what way
to get it going? Twitter? And how about a Fresca
holiday gift that keeps on getting. I love more on
this story, plus we break down the result of the
night in the NBA coming up next. Keep it right here.
This is Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch live

tweet on sure, go ahead, Nick's fan who hit a
half court shot to night one of thousand dollars and
scratchers that's the next from state quote. I'm not rich
or anything, but I sure as hell don't want the

(01:46:35):
task of a thousand scratchers. One I can handle. What
if it's a mixture of different things, you gotta figure
out whether you win or lose, because that's the other thing.
Oh yeah, right, did I win? Seven seven seven? This
is the this is the twos are wild and this
one is the you know, tends to the tenth power.
I go, I don't even know. I guarantee you that's
a lot of that's a lot of lottery companies. Do

(01:46:57):
we're gonna put out tickets at are just so complicated
it people could win ten thousand dollars, but don't. We
don't want them to actually know they've won, to make
the rules so incredibly difficult, they just throw them away. Well,
but like when you play the slot machines in Vegas
or where we had, and you pull my hand like
did I win? I mean, you're counting on that computer
to give you proper information because you have no idea

(01:47:18):
what's going on. I forgot to give you. The last
line of his tweet was at that. Uh So we'll
have more on the Knicks in there scratch off Wizard
gree coming up later on in the show. But tonight
was a big win for the Lakers, the marquee game
of the night in the NBA, Lakers go into Dallas
without Anthony Davis, who sits out with a bruised gluteus maximus.

(01:47:43):
Potentially he could play tomorrow. It didn't matter because from
the jump the Lakers boat race the Mavericks Luca don
Chich so upset after one free throw, he tried to
rip his jersey off. He ripped his jersey down the middle,
Hulk Hogan style and got it down to his sternum.
Rick Carlisle thrown out of the game arguing with the referees,
was not happy with an out of bounds call. Late

(01:48:04):
throws his jacket down. The entire crowd goes crazy. Nothing worked.
The Lakers thumped the MAVs Lebron thirty five and sixteen rebounds,
but Kyle Kuzma, starting in place of Anthony Davis, twenty
six points six rebounds. And here's Lebron amping up the
trade value of Kyle Kuzmas so much so that the

(01:48:27):
Knicks are probably putting together a Marcus Morris plus package
for Kyle Kuzma. Now, well, the Kyle Kuzma highlight super
cut is coming out quickly, isn't it. I mean that
isn't that why they hired due to run video over
at the four Ladder so that that they can get
that Kyle Kuzmas supercut together so they can be propaganda
to raise trade value. Well, Kyle Hotti Night ended up

(01:48:52):
shooting okay for the Night struggled a little bit early,
but had a big game overall on a national platform.
So yeah, we only wasn't much of a game. We
watched Dont get beat up your guy. Porzingis misses his
sixth straight and Lakers pretty much coast and I think
they actually did the let's clear the bench at the end. Yeah,
Quinn Cook actually got in the game. He's only been

(01:49:13):
in like two games since the middle of December. I
saw guys getting up and going to the scorer's table, like,
did they just pick randomly? I mean, you want to
talk about a promotion forget the scratchers. Hey, we're up
twenty about you and you you're wearing seemingly properly a
proper retire Come on in. But look, this is why
this is a big game for the Lakers. Obviously. Look,
we have some fun with the with the trade value

(01:49:35):
of Kyle Kuzma, but the Lakers will need to obtain
one less player at the deadline. If they get Kyle
Kuzma going, if he turned into the player he was
last year, the Lakers will need one less guy, one
less shooter at the deadline. Right now, they probably need
three players that can come off the bench and support
roles and score because they don't have anybody outside of
Lebron and a d they can count on. If they

(01:49:58):
get Kyle Kuzma going, this then cuts it to two
players they'll need to get at the deadline because you
can't trade Kyle Kuzman and expect you're gonna get everything
you need for him. You'll trade Kuzma, you'll get one
guy for him, You'll still need a couple of guys
well with the biggest problem here though, is that you
insert him back into the starting lineup and he gets
twenty two shots. He's not getting that kind of shot number.

(01:50:20):
And but but, but he's got to be able to
to to adjust that this is the team. And unfortunately
Anthony Davis came in. He's a little bit better, but
at eight per night. Guy, that's why you know in
a starting line up isn't gonna fix him. But get
your confidence going and you get yourself in the right
mental spot, because that's that's really what I see in

(01:50:40):
Kyle Kuzma, is that mentally he's got to adjust to
this is gonna be my role in this. I may
not be happy about it, but this is gonna be
my role, and I got to do it to the
best of my ability so I could get traded someplace
else or earn more playing time. He's gotta if he
mentally gets right, because that's the main thing with him. Then,
like I said, the Lakers, they have another they have
the third best player on the team, and they can

(01:51:01):
go make trades for two guys in the deadline now,
and when you try to get just shooters, it's not
gonna be that expensive. Don't worry that Lebron's gonna whack
him twitter at How how to Fresco Mike and Swollen Dome.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen
Coming up next, we'll pick the divisional playoff games this
weekend in the NFL. Who's moving on to championships Sunday?
Find out next on Fox and be sure to catch

(01:51:24):

to Scratch Your Ride? D Fox Sports Radio? I need
a beer. Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carman.
Just to think we started off tonight having a glass

(01:51:47):
of champagne here in the studio for Rob Parker's birthday.
That's pretty good. Starting to the night. He actually bought
champagne for his own birthday. Rob park running into work
and today, come on in and have a toast for
my birthday. Okay, we came when we started off a
champagne truly a brilliant gesture. What are you talking about?
And now more than the next gave that fair it
is and now we're talking about the cheap pass next,

(01:52:08):
so we have that going for us. It is a
night of nights. I mean, they're just I mean, it's
been a celebratory week Parker's birthday, Johnston's birthday, commemorating the
birthdays of David Bowie and Elvis Pressley, six year anniversary
of our show, the anniversary, you know, tonight we celebrate

(01:52:29):
some of the music of our childhood with the passing
of Neil Peart. I mean, there's just so much going
on on. The one little sip of champagne won't be
enough because it tastes so good when it hit the lips. No, well, well,
and I was very surprised at two of the stories
carrying the night tonight are two teams being extremely cheap
and it's which one is being cheaper than the other.
It's pretty good, Bang Frostberg, you suck you such and

(01:52:56):
so forth. We'll get to Bill O'Brien this hour, because
you got to hear that audiation. We had to Bill O'Brien.
This hour, we will get to who is cheaper the
Knicks or the Packers? Nicks too big? Yeah, I gotta say.
I gotta say the Knicks as as cheap as the
Packers are. I gotta say the Knicks. I gotta say.

(01:53:17):
The next we'll have that, uh, and we'll pick the
national championship game in college football. This our last show
before Monday night clubs and LSU. But as we are
now on the cusp of divisional playoff weekend, and you
know we we've said it a lot this week. You
hear a lot of pundits and experts say this is
the best week of football because you have the best teams.

(01:53:40):
We've got rid of the wild card riff raff, and
now this is we still have the quantity of games
where there's four enough to fill a Saturday and a Sunday.
And but you got to use the term riff raff.
I did I like I like to throw to the seventies.
I like, like, wasn't that the guy's name from Rocky
Horror picture shriff Raff? Yes? Right, yeah? Or Heathcliff or

(01:54:02):
uh wait wait waitch Heathcliff, the cartoon character. Yeah it
wasn't there a riff raff? Yeah there was absolutely riff
Raff is a rapper. He was in Heathcliff to You
have to explain heath Cliff to Millennim, come, yeah, you
have to explain he's a rapper. Look him up right now? Okay,
I'll believe I I got you know, we should do
a thing where I'll come up with a with a

(01:54:23):
with a phrase and is this that the name of
a rapper? Or not? Get them all? You probably would
Odd Couple rappers are not rapper rapper because it's O.
D C U P E. L Odd Couple. The Cadillac
Cats the name of an animated series. Those are rappers

(01:54:44):
by Deck and Cats ends with a Z Cadillac Cats. No,
I'm looking at this guy. Most episodes revolve around riff raffs,
get rich quick schemes or researchers for food. Look at
all the riff raff we have here. Look at this
guy This guy's tremendou Look at that guy. He's got
a jaunty hat on in a walking stick. That's Harmon's

(01:55:06):
looking at cartoons on the internet. This is where we're
at right now. This is this is what the Packers
being cheap to getting people's shovel snow, and the Nick's
being even cheaper to a guy hit and a half
court shot. This is where the show has us tonight, Jason,
that's anime. That's so let's pick this weekend's games NFL
Divisional and we'll start with Minnesota and San Francisco. I

(01:55:30):
told you three weeks ago it was gonna be the
Monday night game against the Packers, was going to be
the Kirk Cousins. Yeah, you were ready. Did not happen. No,
He and Aaron Rodgers did not play particularly well in
that game. But then I said last week, this is
gonna kind of be the Kirk Cousins game. Adam feeling
his back, Dalvin Cook his back, the Vikings offense is healthy.
They will go into New Orleans and pull off the upset.

(01:55:50):
I was right. I missed the other three games. I
was right about that game. If that was last week,
this week is gonna be the Kirk Cousins or interception
playoff game game. Oh look at you. The forty Niners
are just on a different level than the Minnesota Vikings.
They have the best defense in the NFL. Their offense
can win any kind of game. They can run the football,

(01:56:13):
control it. Jimmy Garoppolo has shown in the past eight
weeks that he can throw the football and throw for
three yards a game, three four touchdowns if he has to.
We didn't know that up until a few weeks ago,
but now we know we can. The Niners are the
best all around team in the National Football League. The
Vikings are gonna get a route awakening, because as good
as they are, they're nothing compared to this team. That's

(01:56:35):
not gonna Let them throw the football and it'll be
a game where gradually they pull away and Garoppolo throws
a couple of touchdowns, the Niners run for a couple
of touchdowns. It looks really easy thirty one thirteen. In
a gradual pull away for the forty Niners. They will
control They'll control the ball, they will not be in

(01:56:55):
any kind of danger throughout most of the game. That's
your score. Oh I like that, but I'm not gonna agree.
I mean, I'll agree that the San Francisco wins the game.
I think Minnesota keeps close. Dalvin Cook, They're able to
run the ball. Feeling of course, we're gonna wonder how
much the cut that happened during practice week affects his ability.

(01:57:16):
How weird was that? So almost like a rope a dope?
You know he's gonna come Ah, I think it's broken,
uh and then get yeah. But they'll run the ball
just enough. That's the one thing you can do against
San Francisco. Get the run game started, so you can,

(01:57:37):
you know, mitigate the time of possession swinging the other way.
And it is Garoppolo's first first game of this kind
of consequence. Say what you will about the battles against Seattle,
but Daniel Hunter and company is gonna make life a
bit difficult for him. I love Emmanuel Sanders. We talked
about his abilities and what he's done alongside George Kittle

(01:57:59):
and Bouse Samuel all season long. I think they keep
it close. I got, oh, look at you, so you
like the Niners winning, but they don't cover. I will
take Minnesota and the point. Look at you, Minnesota and
the points. Tennessee and Baltimore. Now here we go. This
game is gonna be closer than you think. Tennessee is

(01:58:21):
hot coming off of last week. Baltimore is gonna sell
out to stop Derrick Henry and say, Ryan Tannehill, if
you can beat us, go right ahead. The Titans are
gonna keep hammering Derrick Henry most of the game. Tannehill
will make a few plays. This game will be surprisingly
close in the fourth quarter. Tennessee will be within a
touchdown midway to the late part of the fourth quarter

(01:58:45):
because they'll be able to hang with Baltimore. This is
a different kind of pressure on the Ravens than they
face so far this year. Yes, Lamar Jackson had a
playoff game last year, was horrible for three quarters, nearly
pulled out the win against the Chargers. But now they
of the big favorite. They're the favorite to get to
the super Bowl. There are many people's favorite to win
the super Bowl. It's a little bit different. It's gonna

(01:59:07):
take them a little while, but Tennessee is legit all right.
This is people who haven't seen Tennessee play. They're functioning
extremely well right now. There's a team that's greater than
the sum of its parts. They will keep it close,
but Lamar Jackson is too talented. They will make enough
plays at the end and they will take this by
the final of seventeen. It's a seventeen game and the

(01:59:31):
Ravens get the ball late, needing some time to take
off the clock. They get a field goal from Justin Tucker,
who's clutches hell, and they make it a nine point game.
They win at seventeen. They move on to the a
f C Championship. I'm gonna go with the upset outright
Tennessee offensive line Roger Saffold and raised him up and
put him on a pedestal. He might as well build
a statue for the way I've talked about it. Hey,

(01:59:53):
Rams fans ms Roger Saffold. Yet uh he and Taylor
Lawan uh get things rolling with the offensive line more
Derrick Henry, who's been ridiculous his last seven eight games
all season long, but now we're talking about it, Ryan Tannehill.
There's problems on the edges right. Well, we like the
young receivers, but you're looking at two of the best

(02:00:15):
corners in the games Smith and Marcus Peters. He just
got paid as you go what I like the idea
of rabel and an aggressive defense. We don't know what
Andrews and mark Ingram have right both on the injury report.
Gonna play, but we'll see what what happens and transpires there.
I would expect a lot of blitzing and doing everything
they can to change out the misdirection and slow down

(02:00:39):
some of what the sleight of hand that Lamar Jackson
has been so good at all year long, and beat
the hell out of him, or attempt to or die trying.
I guess is when it comes down to and Ryan
Tannehill makes just enough plays. I got all right. I
got Baltimore by nine. You have Tennessee by four, Kansas

(02:01:00):
City Houston. There will be a lot of points. Fifty
one the over under. I am not afraid of this.
This is a game. It's gonna been at halftime. Kansas
City will get the turnovers they need to against the
Shawn Watson and the Texans who are dealing with controversy
surrounding Bill O'Brien, which will get to in a few minutes.
But winning that game last week was like winning their

(02:01:22):
super Bowl. They needed to win a playoff game to
continue on with this era. They did Kansas City. Everybody
is sleeping on them. They have won six in a row.
Their defense has allowed ten points a game the past
five weeks. This is as good as Kansas City has
been since last year when they rolled through everybody and
Patrick Mahomes became the best quarterback in the NFL. The

(02:01:43):
defense will make enough plays and Patrick Mahomes will remind
us that this is his league, not Lamar Jackson's league,
because everybody is sleeping on the Chiefs, Lamar Jackson and
and the Ravens of the Shiny New Toy rightfully. So
the Patriots are eliminated. The Chiefs had trouble for the
first ten weeks, so we kind lost interest in them.
But they have won six arrow and they're playing as

(02:02:03):
well as anybody. The Chiefs are going to the super
Bowl and they're gonna win this week, and it's going
to be a huge victory. I'm gonna say the Chiefs
win this game forty two. That is different, Chiefs score
a ton. If that happens, then are our guy Bill O'Brien,

(02:02:24):
who will talk about in a minute. Um, he should
get some parting gifts, maybe a thousand dollars and scratchers
as it goes, because Deshaun Watson will have saved him.
I think they keep it close and and a lot
of this is depending on whether you can keep will
Fuller upright now on the field. He's expected to go.
And we've talked about it for the duration of the
last two years of how much better the offense flows,

(02:02:46):
how much more space you get for DeAndre Hopkins in
the passing game if Fuller's on the field, and it's
decided mark difference, but carlos Ide should be able to
run the ball effectively. Got some injuries for Kansas City,
uh that are leave you a little questionable on their
defensive line rolling in Travis Kelsey also banged up a bit.

(02:03:07):
I've got them winning thirty seven. I'll take the points.
I'll take the double digit number that we're given here.
Uh that And as soon as it becomes the popular
pick for popular people, both the public and the pundits,
I'll back off a little bit. I think this one
has just become the yeah they way they move on
like it's that they don't even have to suit up

(02:03:27):
and play the game. J. J. Watt will be effective
and have a little bit of work I'm curious to
see the run game, right, Lashawn McCoy, You want to
talk about effective load management. Kansas City did a hell
of a job. Second half of the season. Wasn't hurt
but practice days off and even a couple of games.
I said, you know what we got, Williams, we got
these other guys. You just rest. We need your old

(02:03:48):
bones ready for the playoffs. Remember also Andy Reid just
ten and nine in his playoffs. If I'm gonna do
it to Sean Payton and Drew Brees, I gotta do
it to him too. Seahawks and the Packers the late
Sunday game. I would love to pick the Seahawks, My Seahawks.
So I told you how good they were going to
be this year. Russell Wilson hasn't won it Lambeau. It's

(02:04:11):
gonna wind up being oh in four. The Seahawks offense
has been a mess since they lost every one of
their running backs and had to go sign Marshawn Lynch.
They couldn't run the football well last week. They haven't
done it the two weeks before. They're not gonna be
able to put enough offense up on the road in
Green Bay. They struggled way more than they should have
last WEEKNDST Philadelphia. I had Philadelphia in the upset. I

(02:04:31):
thought they would do it, and then Carson Wentz got
hurt and they still struggled, and they needed a last second,
the last minute stop in the red zone, and then
they needed a prayer Russell Wilson fifty yard past the
DK metcalf to salt this game away. This is Seattle
just running out of gas because they can't run the football.

(02:04:53):
It's an Aaron Jones game. It's an Aaron Jones driven team.
And Aaron Rodgers is the one aid to Aaron Jone,
just one they give him the ball enough Green Bay
wins this game. They're balanced offense does it because the
weather is gonna be bad, so don't go for a
point conversion? Alright, touchdown one extra point, but then they're chasing,

(02:05:18):
so they'll go for two. Uh So, I don't see
much to like about the way the Packers offense rolls
outside of Aaron jellis right. It's the running game, trying
to force the ball into Davante Adams and hoping one
of the young receivers makes a play. Seattle secondary play
and better offensive lines banged up on the Seattle side,

(02:05:39):
in addition to the fact that you've lost all your
starting running backs. I mean, that's just problematic. I mean,
was it seventeen carries nineteen yards a week ago? Succeed
and proceed as as it rolls, but you know, Russell Wilson,
it's gonna come down. Can you make a couple another
big play to Hollister or or a dk Metcalf who's

(02:06:01):
had a fantastic year, Right, the fit the guy into
your system, find what's best about him and make it work.
Tyler Lockett Doyn'll make some plays, but it won't be enough.
I don't. I don't think Green Bay's a great team.
And it's been a debate all week how which team
is more overrated in terms of their wins? They're both
in the playoffs. It doesn't much matter, but the Packers

(02:06:22):
take care of home field. So there are picks of
the divisional playoff round Twitter at how about a Fresca
Mike and Swollen don't phone number eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Got more NFL on the way, but
coming up next? Hey, who do you think is cheaper?
The Green Bay Packers of the New York Mix the
two greatest stories in sports tonight. Yeah, boy, coming up

(02:06:43):
next on Fox, I'm gonna eat that ass up. What
if I'm not that hungry, but if I just want
to snack that tiny but ass up? Now Fox Sports Radio,
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmen,
live from the Get Go Studios, where we have something
we haven't had in a long time, a stolen vehicle
pursuit on the streets of Los Angeles. Let's all be

(02:07:03):
safe out there. But yes, this is the way to
get a new year, our seventh here at Fox Sports Radio.
Starting right, Let's see if they're listening. If you're listening
right now, flash your lights. Let's wait seven seconds for
the delay three four, five, six seven. It's not Ryan
hollins Man. No, you just made a turn instead. Okay,

(02:07:24):
so not listening to the show that so I ask
you this. I never thought we would have tonight. Who's cheaper,
the Green Bay Packers or the New York Knicks. Nicks
the great Let's at least throw it out there for

(02:07:44):
people to make their own minds up. On story earlier today,
the Packers getting ready for their playoff games Sunday against
the Seahawks. They're expecting a huge snowfall on Saturday night
into Sunday morning in the Greater Green Bay area. They
have asked for seven d people aged eighteen or older

(02:08:04):
to come to the field at six o'clock in the
morning on Sunday and shovel snow for twelve dollars an
hour until the job is done. I understand there are
many people that would do this for free. They see
it as a badge of honor to shovel snow for
the packers. Don't take advantage of this. Give the people
more money than that. You're getting up at six o'clock
but early on a Sunday morning to go shovel snow.

(02:08:28):
That is not in any way benefit you. It's just
benefits the packers. They can give you more than twelve dollars,
give them fifty dollars an hour. Shell out thirty five
grand two people for this. Shell out the money so
they can come and do it. And yeah, I know that.
Oh then everybody's gonna show up. Well, well, yeah, okay,
you said you needed people, then do it yourself. Then

(02:08:48):
I don't know what you want, but you say you
want people to come. Pay him a decent rate twelve
dollars an hour. There's I don't know a job I
would get up for six o'clock in the morning in
the freezing cold, where's gonna be zero degrees the I'm
gonna go break my back for twelve dollars an hour.
You could work eight hours and make ninety dollars. I mean,
come on, well, I gotta go down to this right
because we also we want to wrap our arms around

(02:09:10):
everybody out there working their asses off at whatever hour.
However you're hearing us tonight, we appreciate your spending a
few minutes of your time with us at how about
a fresca add swalling down and maybe you you do
have to get up and bust your ass at a
job where you make twelve dollars an hour or less.
I think this is just good business, just saying you
you're gonna have seven people lined up well before the

(02:09:33):
six am starting bill to get their shovel hot coco
and the ability to wander lambeau Field Civic Pride Man.
And that's they're still getting a paycheck, right, I mean
for something that's gonna be a nice supplementals. Maybe they
have Sundays off this is a nice way to go.
Pick up a couple of dollars. Maybe meeting a couple

(02:09:54):
of new fans. It is a couple of dollars. It's
twelve dollars an hour. Maybe make some new friends. Yeah,
there's better, there's better ways to date than that. I'm
not going at six am on I'm on a Sunday morning.
Maybe I'll meet somebody. No, I'm not doing it. I
didn't take it to dating and just said maybe you
make some friends, and all of a sudden you're invited
to a cool tailgate and the cook out pete for
the next game. We don't having an extra seat at

(02:10:16):
a game, and they'll say, you know that guy I
met when we were shoveling and freezing our asses off,
that guy's my guy. People will do it out of
the goodness of their heart. Don't take advantage of that
give them more money. No, I'm all, I'm all on board. Man.
Now that's cheap. Just I'm sorry, but I think it's cheap.
By the way, I'm putting a pull up on Twitter.
Now we have the Knicks. It was last week the

(02:10:37):
Lakers gave a hundred thousand dollars to a fan who
made a half court shot in between quarters of the game.
Now that's a pretty good prize for making a shot
that's pretty impossible. Tonight the Knicks had a fan make
a half court shot in the middle of their incredibly
disappointing lost to a team that absolutely stinks. It's New
Orleans at home. Hey, Zion put on a show. Yeah,

(02:10:59):
he was eight dunking and warm ups. Uh, it's only
the next draft of so we didn't have a chance
to So this guy makes the half court shot. He
doesn't get a hundred thousand dollars? Does he get fifty
thousand dollars? How much did? He doesn't get twenty dollars,
doesn't get a week with John Stamos, doesn't get two
weeks with John Stamos. Well, that would be worth more

(02:11:20):
than I mean, that's invaluable. This fan gets a thousand
dollars wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
in lottery scratch off tickets for making a half court shot.
He gets a thousand dollars in scratch offs. Thousand dollars
in scratch off All right, um, are they the good kind?

(02:11:44):
It's the Knicks? You think they're not just all a
bunch of dollars scratch off for it's one one thousand
dollars scratch off. The guy scratches off. I didn't win. Sorry,
hey thanks, hey, nice shot you made though, start singing,
hey man, this is shot. This I like that. They
put out the video sponsored by the New York State Lottery.

(02:12:06):
But this, you know, this is this is a prize.
You give a guy that that has to try to
spin a ball on his hand for three seconds, or
has to dribble from one end to the other and
back in twenty seconds. Guy makes a half court shot.
The standard has been set. You got to give the
guy a decent amount of money to make Lakers game.
A guy a hundred grand on January. It's a grand

(02:12:29):
scratch off tickets. This is why he's also telling you
his organization is better than you. Like that Frostberg. Could
you could make more money, he's with this story. You
could make more money shoveling snow on Sunday for the packers.
Then this guy couldn't make after he has done scratching
things off. I am curious as to what the expected

(02:12:50):
value is of those tickets. We'd have to look at
the odds. How many of each variety. He got so cheap.
This is got the guy on the show next week.
You gotta find that guy. James Dolan is worth two
billion dollars. The Knicks and Madison Square Garden are worth
about five billion. Here's a thousand dollars in scratchaws that
really doesn't even come from us. We're not even spend
money on this, My man. I would dance around like
a king though. I mean, you had that Seventh Avenue

(02:13:12):
squad that's out there. Those are the guys with the
T shirt camp Liberty give more money away a halftime.
I don't. I can't believe the guy actually knew he
was getting a thousand dollars and scratchaws. You probably thought
it was something really cool. He shoot the half court shop.
What do I get for making this? Well? Last week
the Makers team the Lakers gave a guy a hundred grand? Alright,

(02:13:33):
I made it? What do I get under grand? No,
that's what the Lakers give people. We're letting you start
at shooting garden the second half. How about that? This
is so completely in totally Knicks contract. Here's uh twenty
seconds in the Knicks team store. Hey, I'm getting they
do that out here. In l a right at the

(02:13:55):
Dodgers store, go you got whatever, fifty seven seconds and
go nuts. I'm getting more minutes than Kevin Knox. This
has been actually really good for me. If he's smart,
he sells this on eBay because there's a great subculture
in the scratch off community that would at least spend
a thousand dollars on this. It's a thousand dollars in

(02:14:15):
scratch all, so here's a thousand dollars, probably more because
it's a high profile situation, and maybe someone pays two
thousand thinking, Okay, the value I'm gonna get out of
this is gonna be x amount of dollars. He could
make at least a thousand maybe bucks on this. Yeah,
that's the question, right, Can you also try to sell

(02:14:38):
it as for a promotion like this? There's no way
they just have bunko, you know, a bunch of losses
in one dollar or free ticket returns that maybe they'd
have to plant something of consequence in there. Maybe I
don't know. That's the Knicks. Come on, they gave away
scratch and thought it was a good idea. Yeah, let's
give away a thousand dollars. Let's have the the franchise

(02:14:59):
that's worth the most money in all the sports because
it comes with Madison Square Garden, the most famous arena
in the world. Let's give it away. Let's give away
a grant. The guy said, screw it. I'd rather play
with Dolan's band. I want to play lead guitar and harmonica,
Jimmy and the straight shooting, shooting guys. This is so Nicks.
This is so Nicks. The only way this wouldn't be

(02:15:20):
in Knicks stories it was a Mets story. We'll find
one of those two. I mean, that's the only thing
missing from tonight. Yeah. No, I'd be curious to see
what the array of tickets are because then we can
calculate expected value and try to help the guy out.
So somebody in New York find my man before he
starts scratching away. Did the Knicks at least get him

(02:15:41):
a quarter to scratch with. Now you gott you have
your own quarter. You don't even get furnished me with
a scratch. Whatever's gonna happen to his hand scratching off
a thousand dollars and scratchers. You've got carpetal tunnel syndrome.
Now from scratching off scratch tickets. Hey, can I sue
you guys? Nope, I have a gnarled claw. Courtesy of
the New York Knicks. We gave you the scratch stch offs.
We didn't tell you what to do with them, but

(02:16:02):
we gave you the scratch offs. We had. We had
to have a lot of people who work for the Knicks,
you know, everybody. We told everybody go to the store
and buy a couple of scratch offs and bring him
into works. We can give them away in a nice
big package. Yeah, you're not getting any free agent anytime soon,
No chance, Nicks. Yo. Maybe the Knicks just had they

(02:16:22):
sent a bunch of interns out to get a bunch
of used lottery tickets and they had, Hey, we spent
some money. We're just gonna shine them up real quick
and cover up the uh the numbers again and just
give them to the guy. And you know, none of
them are winners. Every MSG employees four oh one k
is just scratchers. Now you're talking, Wow, that's next level.

(02:19:10):
from the Geico Studios. And as Bill O'Brien gets set
to lose play the Chiefs this weekend Divisional round of
the playoffs, he found himself in the middle of a
controversy today he probably wasn't expecting. TMZ came up with
this video from a few weeks ago when the Texans

(02:19:34):
lost thirty four at home to the Denver Broncos. It
was a bit of a shocker that the Broncos, who
couldn't put any offense on the board all season long,
coming to Houston and win. They were leading the game
at halftime thirty one to three. This is audio of
Bill O'Brien and the Texans going into the tunnel at halftime,

(02:19:56):
alright thirty one three. At this point, everybody is mad,
and a fan right outside the tunnel yells to Bill O'Brien,
you suck. We're gonna play the audio. We had to
heavily bleep it because you know that's how it works.
But listen to Bill O'Brien's response as he decides I'm
not letting this guy off the hook by telling me

(02:20:16):
that I suck. Hey, you suck to you, blanker blanker.
You here the very beginning, the guy yell you suck.
And then it's Bill O'Brien yelling you sucked to you,
sucked to you, blanker blanker. And then luckily DeAndre Hopkins

(02:20:39):
comes in and says, coach, coach, coach, come on, man,
don't be a lunatic. Let's hear it. Listen to it
one more time. Actually zoomed in on the video. Okay,
it's the Texans owner yelling that's that is just absolutely insane.

(02:21:03):
You know, look, this is a great story for us,
it's awesome, it's fun. But dude, come on, man, I mean,
you're the head coach. You're the guy that's supposed to
be setting the example and setting the standard, and you're
the guy yelling you suck to some fan who's got
nacho she's spilled all over himself because he's piste off
because he got mad when you gave up that touchdown.

(02:21:24):
In the second course, you have to be able to
let trolls and let critics go like Kevin Durant can't
stand when someone criticizes him, or someone says you're not
the best player in Thunder franchise history. Nope, I gotta
get in a whole Twitter war about it. You have
to let things go. You can't fight everybody. You can't
fight all the trolls, you can't fight all the critics.

(02:21:46):
But at least k D is a player, and this
is about him specifically. You're the head coach man, You're
the guy that's the kind of fire in the belly
that was gonna get him ready for the second They well,
they did lose thirty four, so they outscored them twenty
one to seven in the inspired it. Come on, you

(02:22:08):
gotta have my back. You can't know you you're the
head coach. I'm trying the head coach look. And not
that I've never done that, because I've told your stories
about how I've melted down before playing sport. You know.
I I saw a softball game about fifteen eighteen years ago.
We played against a team where this meathead on the

(02:22:28):
other team is just saying the stupidest stuff in the world.
And I couldn't stand it because I because the guy's
a meathead, and I hate stupid people, and I started just,
you know, yelling and yelling smack stuff to him, with
my mom three feet away. She came out to visit.
She's I'll come to your softball game, will go out
to dinner. I said, all right, great, and my mom said,
watching me yell at this guy and I'm like, I
told her after, I said, Mom, I'm sorry, I just

(02:22:49):
but the guy was such a meathead. I couldn't. I
couldn't take it. And Pam even told me, what are
you doing this guy? This guy just let him just
be an idiot, And I go, I know, but I couldn't.
I was such a meat head. But I'm twenty five,
twenty seven years old. O'Brian said, he's easy. Meat head.
Bill O'Brien is fifty. I mean, you gotta at some
point you gotta realize, I I gotta let some crazy

(02:23:13):
guy in the stand say whatever he wants. Fire in
the belly. I'm sure he had been told he sucked
quite frequently, because I mean, if you watch the Texans
over the course of the year, there were some good things.
There's been an awful lot of times where I've wondered, aloud,
is Bill O'Brien gonna get fired? After this game and
last week, I wandered aloud on Twitter in the second quarter,
how much longer for the Bill O'Brien expressed, and then

(02:23:35):
Deshaun Watson bails him out with a bunch of big
plays in the second half. They do a good job
on the Buffalo offense and away we go. But for
for Bill O'Brien fired back. It was one one time
too many. The apologies sucked, man. That was just a
waste of time. It's like, you got caught on video.
I want the investigation of who leaked the video though,

(02:23:58):
because that's but I mean any but that's in the
home stadium. So now you're saying the Chiefs. In addition
to just having chicken fingers or whatever, I mean, Andy
Reid bed a five playoff coach, he's also a saboteur.
You're watching what the Patriots do. They know how to
get video when to put it out. This is like
what what happened to Josh Allen I of the NFL

(02:24:19):
draft Bills quarterback Josh Hayter. They have a big night
and someone says, here come old tweets from this guy. Hey,
let me wait until this is gonna really hurt the
Texans the most. Hey, how about all right the night
the night before, the two days before, because it's a Friday,
it's early that it gets sent out because the weekend
news dump people wouldn't pay attention to it. So let's
send it out here and let's do it. The fiery

(02:24:40):
coach Bill O'Brien, I mean, just just really, you blaken
suck to. You're the adult in the room. You sucked too,
which is also I have ever better come back than that.
You suck. No, you sucked too, You suck more. How
about that what you wanted to say? Here's my paycheck.
I got twelve bucks an hour and a thousand dollars
of scratchers. Do you know what that? Nick suck? Yeah? Yeah,

(02:25:03):
I agree, I agree, I agree, there's no question about it. Uh.
Our last show before the National Championship game on Monday night,
Clemson L s U. All the money in Vegas going
down on L s U. And we'll be here live
on Fox Sports Radio, and I'm breaking down. I'm gonna
take Clemson. I know L s U as hot as
they were, Oklahoma is not that good. Clemson is five

(02:25:27):
times better. I don't know if Clemson is better roster
wise than L s U. But the difference in level
of competition they're gonna face. I can see L s
U having a rocky game. It's a home field game
for them. They've not faced this kind of pressure before.
Clemson has been there many times the last twenty five years.
Clubs in the National Championship game. I can see them

(02:25:50):
panicking early if their offense doesn't put points on the board.
L s U. Clemson wins this game. I hate agree
with you. I got at had a week. Uh. That
defense makes one play on Joe Burrow. That's enough. Dabbo
Sweeney gets Trevor Lawrence in a position to make one
or two plays with his legs. Uh, and that's your difference.

(02:26:11):
I got the Tigers. Guess that's a good. That's a good,
that's a good pick. How many scratchers you got? Not
as many as the Knicks. Twitter at outbout a Fresca
Mike and swelling dope. Jonas knocks his next Fox
