(00:47):
we get to this late breaking story involving an NFL quarterback,
you saw the news today that there's going to be
a roast Tom Brady's going to put together a roast
on Netflix, you know, the greatest roast of all time,
where he's going to be roasted by a bunch of
football and media personalities, and they're gonna er it like
those specials you see for anybody else who's been in
(01:09):
the business a long time. Entertainment. We're gonna see that.
You know. Here's my thing, Mike is Brady doesn't strike
me as a guy that would be cool with a
lot of things that are gonna be said in a
roast about him. I mean, there's some guys they think
that would be cool with it, Like I think Aaron
Rodgers could be really cool with the roast, Like he
would laugh and he would think, oh, that's funny. Yeah,
I see what you're doing. You know, make it a
(01:30):
darkness retreat joke. I get it. There's a certain guys
that would say, okay, But I don't know, man, Brady.
Brady takes himself pretty seriously, and some of the jokes
that are gonna be out there, I don't know that
he'd be cool with them. I don't know that it's
gonna be ha ha ha ha, and it's gonna be
Ha'm gonna you know, all right, I'm gonna get you backstage.
I just don't know. He doesn't strike me as that
kind of guy that would be cool with a lot
(01:52):
of that stuff. But it's funny you bring up Rogers.
I think it's the exact opposite, Like Brady has always
been seen as the you know, hey, buttoned up whatever,
and we've seen him get a little bit loose. May
go back to the tidy whitey uh skin on Saturday
out Live all those years ago, back in his chest
was still concave. But Aaron Rodgers is the guy that
didn't look man free and easy flow and look at man,
(02:13):
don't judge. And then I think he'd be staring Daggers
through you, plotting ways to murder you. All right, well
let me give you an example, right like like, so
the Aaron Rodgers roast would be, Hey, Aaron Rodgers, you
want to go in a darkness retreat? Good thing you
signed with the Jets and eggs? Ha you okay, okay, okay, right,
But the Brady, but the Brady rose is gonna be
(02:34):
stuff like this. You know, Tom Brady made a career
out of being able to break down defenses and succeed
against them. But there was one defense he couldn't break down,
Giselle's lawyers. Right, it's gonna be ah, He's gonna I mean,
that's gonna be the jokes. I don't. I mean, that's
that's a lot different than man. But that's and that's man.
(02:55):
I guess you could start getting into some Danna Ka
Patrick's stuff. It's not gonna like it. And he's like, yeah, look,
that's it. That's just an ex go for this is
you know, his ex wife, and it's very public and
she's on she's on the front page of the New
York Post every day. Here she is, she's modeling. Here,
she's mine. Then she modeled and was unrecognizable. Yeah, who's that? Whatever,
(03:15):
But it's in the end, you know, can you put
up a stiff upper lift here? He wants to be
an actor, and he did have a nice turn. There
was a scene in the locker room with Lily Tomlin
at the end. I mean, not to spoil it, but
if you haven't seen eighty for Brady, you have no
intention of seeing eighty for Brady. Is you know where
he actually showed a little bit of vinal Master thespian chops. Yeah,
(03:36):
but I mean the jokes that are gonna be of
the Hey, you know, everybody has some emotions after they
retire from the NFL. Some people are related, some people
are relieved. Tom Brady just looked deflated. Look you know
those Ah no, it's pretty good. Yeah, I'd be a
pretty good people jokes, right, These are pretty good jokes,
Like you should sell that to Jeff Ross now, patent bending,
(04:00):
patent pending. I was gonna say they checked the audio
tape that ends up finding its way in in any form.
Come on, man, I know it's all inspiration and you
find common ground, but I mean that that was that
was well executed. As if you pondered that one while
lamenting Beheim's fate. Well, look, I got another one for you.
Eighty for Brady. Okay, guy, ready with eighty for Brady. Hey,
(04:22):
you know I just found out this eighty for Brady
thing was a movie. I didn't know that because I
kept hearing eighty for Brady, eighty for Brady, eighty for Brady.
I thought that was the amount the percentage of money
he got to keep after the divorce. Wow, man, oh man,
I should be a roast writer. These are pretty I'm
just coming up with these jokes on that, but they're
(04:45):
pretty good. That's right, Like that one, that's a good one,
but it's not that mean spirited. I know it is.
And that's one of those that'll get a good one scratchy.
But I saw the and you know, the inner circle
evidently telling him, hey, don't do this or whatever. It's like,
(05:05):
you know, at this point, he's a guy, and we
profered this theory, and it's it's fun to see the
forty nine er thing or other you know, the could
raise up like he's the undertaker again. What if you
file your papers just to get everybody to leave you
the hell alone for a while, and that if the
circumstances are right, yeah, you could put the you know,
(05:27):
the suit back on and get back out there. But otherwise,
like all right, here we are in post post football days,
and he seems to have a good sense of humor
about it. So, I don't know, you try new things.
He's already got all the business ventures, a lot of
those except for that whole crypto thing, I have been
pretty successful. Well he's not the only guy in cryptos.
(05:51):
Guy got in there, Yeah, as touts or whatever they
wanted to the fact of the matter is, not only
is he being sued about it, he also lost his
ass in terms of a lot there, he and Giselle.
So there's that. Um So now you have to prove
that they acted with malfeasance as opposed to just getting
duped because you're not always the smartest guy in the room.
(06:11):
No you're not. But I I really wonder is how
how how is this going to go? I think, how
does this really go? I want to sign us up
now to be in the in the roast room, you know,
like another another one. Okay, you keep seeing Giselle in
the news every day, and she's modeling, and she's with
the guy that may or may not be your personal trainer,
they may or may not be dating, and Brady doesn't
(06:32):
have any answers. So clearly the only thing he knew
that was coming with the plays. Okay, it's a good one,
a little bit long. Yeah, but I mean you're gonna
have a bunch of folks in that room that have
no idea what the hell that means. Oh, but it
doesn't matter, everybody. There will be enough people laughing that
we'll get it. No, it's it that stare into space
(06:54):
kind of thing. Well, it's not just gonna be a hey,
the crowd is gonna be just at people my ex
wife day and you guys just slaps everybody that made
a joke about Gazelle. Well, I mean it ties into
the slapping Federation, right, so you got that going for you.
Now there's an ass Slaps Federation, you see that. Yeah, No,
well you knew there was going to be some kind
(07:15):
of derivative. Hey, how do we capitalize on this. Let's
do something else. Yeah, Hey, McDonald's is popular, let's go
up with something called burger king. Oh this is great.
It was gonna be saying, man, all you need is
a sliver of that success. That's that's what it's all about.
All right. Listen, this slap thing is working out pretty well.
Any other parts of the body that we can slap?
How about we slap somebody's ass. Oh it's a great idea.
(07:35):
Let's patent that right now. Let's make sure nobody else
has that in development and we can make that go.
It's been a very popular women's division, although I think
depending on your search engine, you probably found out something
equivalent a while bank. You know, Brady also is going
to do something revolutionary this year because he's going to
be part of a set called the Draft That Never Was,
(07:58):
So guys that got drafted and never played in Major
League Baseball. So Bowman baseball cards of him in photo
brush or airbrushed and photoshopped into an expose uniform. I'm
Tom Brady. We have a lot of guys here. They
were a draft that have never played Major League baseball.
The reason is because they all made untild millions playing
a different sport. Let's talk to them and see how
(08:21):
the road less taken turned out to be much more
fruitful for them. Kyler Murray, come on in. That's okay,
all right, great, these guys a Twitter and out about
a Fresca Mike and swollen dome. At the end of
your first year, Discover credit cards automatically double all the
cash back you vern. That's right, everything you've earned doubled.
Seriously see terms and check it out for yourself at
discover dot com. Slash match Now outside of Brady and
(08:43):
the Roast, which I'm telling you it may not go
how you think it's gonna go. I'll tell you what.
Keep writing those jokes, man, I'm telling you, Jeffrey Dude,
I'll pay you, man, I'll pay These are all jokes.
I just come with it like I'm so talented and
stuff like that. Man, certain things off the top of
my head, it's like boom, I feel like I missed
my calling some time. But another big NFL story that's
just come up in the last couple of hours is
(09:05):
that the Seattle Seahawks, while they're working to resign Pro
Bowl quarterback Gino Smith, things I never thought i'd say
a year ago in this day, say they're also considering
drafting a quarterback at number five. They pick fifth overall
in the draft this year thanks to that trade for
Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll said, Hey, we haven't picked this
(09:27):
high in the draft in a long time. We don't
get to look at the quarterback class this way, so
this is something we're very, very interested in. Now, do
you really think they're gonna draft a quarterback at five
if they resign Geno Smith. No, it's a lot of
money for Gino Smith. They need to remake this team
and they need to improve it. They have a quarterback
they're gonna sign for a couple of years. Are gonna
you're gonna draft a guy at five that's gonna sit?
(09:49):
Probably not. This is just one of those Hey, Gino Smith, dude,
we thought these negotiations were gonna go really easy and
they're not. And just to let you know, we have options,
We don't need to keep you and let you go
someplace else. You want to really play hardball with us
for money, Um, we'll go with a guy at number five.
This is a message to Gino Smith that we don't
need to sign you. We'd love to, we want this
(10:11):
to happen, but we don't need to and we can
move on. And every time I see this story, and
there's been a lot of this the last couple of
weeks of the Seahawks saying hey, we're hopeful with Geno Smith.
We were making a little bit of progress, but you
never know. I just keep thinking one thing, He's who
the Jets are gonna wind up with. He I just
forget about Derek Carr, forget about Aaron Rod. The Jets
(10:33):
are gonna wind up bringing back Genos Smith because that's
how it goes for the Jets. They're gonna convince themselves
that he's the guy. I'll go back to New York, right,
and that's who there, because it would be completely and
totally Jets to wind up bringing back Gino Smith. So
that's what's gonna happen. Now, forget about all the other
guys that it could be, whether it doesn't matter, it's
(10:53):
gonna wind up being Geno Smith because that's totally jets. Wow,
that was a degree pivot from yesterday. That's going to happen, man,
car I'm gonna have Derek Carr sign the bag that
I ride the lightning man, I ride the lightning of
the No, no, this one man is. It's the next
level stuff, right. Pete Carroll very diplomatic when asked about
(11:13):
all the stuff about Russell Wilson's a good job by him,
so that that was a good job deflecting and just
moving on. As for Gino, like, there's two sides to it, right,
is like I can't blame him for asking for the world.
He's in decade number two. Yes, he's been drawing his salary,
but now is his one chance in theory to really
(11:35):
cash in. Unfortunately, he only has one year of experience
to say, hey, look what I am. It's like, well,
are you really or what? Did the stars? Just a
line for one year? In this offense you've been in
for a couple of years. Because that's the other thing, right,
you're trying to play the Hey you've been here and
that's why you were successful because you were grown in it.
(11:57):
The last couple of years you are around it. The
call sure these players, everything else, throwing to them at
camps and whatever else. Um, But I can't blame the
guy if he wants to play hardball. I just hope it.
If it results in him going back to the Jets,
I think it could be disastrous for all of you.
(12:17):
Whatever the Jets do is gonna wind up being disastrous.
What do you think it's good? Look? I could keep saying, hey,
because it's quarterback season and it's awesome and immigant Aaron Rod.
But whoever the Jets get, it's not gonna work. But look,
you've at least got the makings of a quality team. Again,
it goes back to the the what I've been trying
to do as the would be czar of things, and
(12:40):
I take away certain powers like we're playing Dungeons and
Dragons or something. You know. All right, for this turn,
you don't get to do this. So here, you don't
get to draft a quarterback for the Chargers. I mean
I already got their head trainer fired. I did. That's done.
So now you know the Colts, somebody other than Ballard
gets to pick the QB in Baltimore. They spent a
(13:02):
lot of draft capital and money on wide receivers. They
don't get to do it with the Jets. Do Dougles
get to decide the quarterback? I don't think he does.
I don't think he does. So I think you're finding
someone else, maybe an outside consultant like you. Nobody should
decide the quarterback. It should just be whoever shows up
the first day, that's it. And that way, no one
is on the hook for bringing anybody in California League.
(13:23):
If you want to be the quarterback, you just show
up that day and there's some kind of fight or
contest that the quarterbacks have with each other, and the
winner of that is the quarterback, And that way, no
one's got to I would rather see the guys throw
the ball. I mean sometimes that would be okay, But
I'd rather see them throw the ball. Okay, No, I
think that would probably be the best way either or
(13:44):
they fight in the cage on the fifty. Yeah, I'd
rather see him throw the ball. Well, Robert Salo's gonna
win every fight, because I mean, come on, man, Robert
Salo beat up everybody, but I really would, we're gonna
make a decision. By not making a decision, we're gonna
fighte a bunch of people to show up, and whoever
wins the battle that they have on their own, that's
our quarterback. And then we avoid the stigma of having
to make a decision and choosing a quarterback. And you
(14:06):
can't say all the Jets can't pick a quarterback because
the quarterback would have really picked them. Think about that.
Now you're now you're taking the bear scenario. You threw
it up yesterday to show up standing it to the
next level of Hey, whoever shows up, by the way,
just is this right? The Jets have open triuts a quarterback. Yeah,
you can be there Thursday at noon. I'm excited. That'll
(14:27):
be great. That's not a bad way to go. That
could be a fun I mean, you want to talk
about a fun you know, pay per view or made
for TV event right there? I mean, you get to
keep a football. You move on to week two. Yeah,
you get to keep a football instead of a roads
you get a football. Oh, I like it. I like it.
(14:48):
Here's a football with a number. This is where you
ranked for this this week. And if you get no football,
you get sacked by new Hall of Famer joke collect
no or wait a minute, wait a minute, wait wow,
And that's pretty I'd like to see that. That'd be
pretty cool. I would like to side. But I also
like maybe every week you get a piece of equipment,
and when you get the final piece of equipment, which
is the jersey, you officially are the quarterback. Right Like
(15:11):
this week we're giving out cleats. If you get a
pair of cleats, you get to come back next week,
and you all the way up. You start cleats all wayup,
and the last thing is the jersey. So the last
ceremony is guys and helmets and shoulder pads with no jersey,
and you give the jersey. He puts it on, and
he's the quarterback. That's pretty good. You know. They do
the action figures that way, right, So you buy a
series of action figures and you build a figure, like
(15:34):
in the WWE they had a series where you had
to buy these five other figures I think, and you
got each had a part of mean gene Okerland, Hey,
what part of mean gene do you have? I got
both arms in a leg. Oh I'm missing the leg.
Can you give me an extra leg? I need that? No?
But legitimately, like you go into a choice store if
you had no idea what was happening in that figure,
(15:58):
and they've done it with other things like Suicide Squad,
it was build King Shark and else. But this also
does extend back into my how do you get? You know,
halftime entertainment. Everybody wants to fight about the next music act.

(17:48):
Bundling safe at Progressive dot Com. Well joining us now,
I'm the hotline. We've got a big time injury to
break down. But more so than that, this will be
his first appearance since we are going to institute now
the response clock whenever we talk baseball with John Paul
Morosi MLB Network and Fox Sports Radio Insider. He needs
to start and finish his comments before the comment clock
(18:13):
hits zero. Otherwise none of his comments counts and he
gets to strike against him. In three strikes, he's out.
So JP, I hope you are ready for this new
phase of Major League Baseball conversation. Revity is not my
strength right away. I'm going to disapplin. It's pretty good
(18:35):
to start things off. That was pretty impressive. Start slow
and then try to lull him into sleep and then
maybe you can get away with the longer response later.
Like You're like, you're a picture of the time. I'm banking.
This is like one of those SNL debates from years
(18:55):
ago where where the first President Bush, I believe, seated
a lot of the remainder of his time during the
course of those debates, of course, as played by Dana Carvey. Yeah,
so a good moments there. I feel like I'm doing that.
I'm seating my time forward in the next debate, that
comment was twenty four seconds. That has passed the fifteen seconds,
(19:16):
so the last nine seconds need to be stricken, including
your punchline. I'm sorry about that. Well, no, the game
just ended. Sorry the interviews over. John Paulding megan in time.
That's it, just like the other day. Hey, the games
game's done. You know, I gotta tell you. JP looking
at the new pitch fluck, which is the talk of
Major League Baseball. Now we've seen it already, in effect,
(19:36):
a game ended when a strike was called because the
batter wasn't ready. It's been theat Everybody has an opinion
on it. The pitchers seem to like it. Some pitchers
feel like they were rushed when they're in there. But
for watching the game, this is how I think of it,
because eventually everybody's going to adjust that. They'll adjust to
what the pitchers will adjust, the hitters will adjust. But
watching the game, this is like one of those game
(19:56):
changing moments where you're gonna watch that pitch, every single pitch,
and it's just like in a football game when the
play clock looks like it's going to hit zero, you're
rooting for it to get there for a delay of game.
You're gonna watch that pitch clock and go, oh, he
wasn't ready by eight seconds. Oh do you deliver that
pitch in time, and you're going to do that every
single pitch. It's going to be impossible to not watch
(20:18):
that clock ticking down before every pitch. It's going to
change how we watch baseball games. So here's the idea.
I think that in the near term, you're right that
it is an object of fascination. Now it's honestly, here's
the interesting part of it. It is put baseball and
you would both be better judge of this than I
(20:40):
would be, But it's put baseball at more at the
forefront of the national sports conversation than it typically is.
Before the first of March, we are really talking about
the game, not just the players, but the sport, the institution,
where it is, where it's trending. I think that for
(21:01):
the time being, yes, we are very much predisposed to
focus on the clock. How closely are our pitchers and
hitters getting to when they need to be delivering their
performance in the a lot of time, there's a lot
of intrigue about it. My belief is that when we're
(21:22):
in this one month, six weeks, that we will just
get used to it, that it will not necessarily become
the story. Yes, violations will happen, but by and large
players will adjust. That's what the track record was at
the minor league level. And the Upstein talked about this,
and the other part of this is it's good for
(21:44):
the game. It really is. You saw a game today,
just for the sake of argument, a nine to eight
game between the Mariners and Guardians in Peoria. Twenty one hits,
seventeen runs, time of game two hours fifty four minutes. Now,
in my experience, having covered a lot of spring training
(22:05):
games in my life, when games get to have more
than twenty hits and seventeen runs, they almost always were
three thirty at least and often three forty five, three fifty.
That's just what that box score, that line score. If
you'd told me that in the before times, I would
(22:26):
have said three and a half easily. And it's just
it's a better product. The product is better, the game
movements are sharper, the athleticism is heightened. It's better to watch,
and it's been better to watch for the first nearly
week of major league games here in twenty twenty three. See,
(22:47):
you're just I mean, and you can use this one.
You're just trying to move away from what was a
Floyd Mayweather fight, a lot of dancing, a lot of jukin,
and then occasionally you get that flash of patent kind
of action that we would see most often in the
result of a home run. But here the action moves.
I saw side by side JP of someone going all right,
(23:09):
here's a half inning in this spring training and here's
it at bat from last year, and what's the run
in real time or on MLB network this morning. I
loved him, Mad Beast scursion. He did a great job.
He showed an entire inning that was completed in the
amount of time before Pedro Bayaz actually threw a pitch
(23:34):
in the twenty seven. There you go, coming back from break.
Here's bias steps off, throws over steps, off, throws over again,
and and that's just not gonna happen anymore. At the
end of the day. In most aspects of American life,
(23:54):
we say, give me more, give me more substance for
the money I'm spending, give me more action per second,
Give me a faster upload download speed. That's what we want.
We want a web page delivered to our phones in
(24:15):
a split second as opposed to ten seconds. Well, here
you go. It's a pitch delivered, and I think it's
just a it's a better product. It's more timely, better flow,
better athleticism, and I think you're also going to see,
I believe, more athletic play and just be better athletes,
(24:37):
better conditioned athletes, better action late in the season when
you really want it. I just think this is a
win win all the way around. And when you've got
someone like Max Scherzer who is complementing the new rules,
that tells you something. John Paul Morossi, our guest MLB
Network inside of the Jason Smith Show in Mike Harmon. Now,
before we get to Gavin looks, you don't look. Usually
(25:00):
in spring training, you see things you'd never seen before.
And I always subscribe with the Jason Stark philosophy of
baseball has been played for one hundred and twenty years,
and you still say regularly, I've never seen that before. Today,
the Orioles and Pirates played an umpire less bottom of
the ninth inning. The game didn't need to go to
the bottom of the ninth inning, but the teams agreed
that hey to get some work for our players, in
(25:21):
particular our pitchers, We're going to play the bottom of
the ninth if we don't even if we don't need to.
The umpire said, we don't want to ump it, so
they walked off. So they played the bottom of the
ninth and the catcher called balls and strikes, like when
you're playing as a kid, Like the catcher's calling balls
to say, oh, come on, man, that was outside. No
it wasn't. That was a strike. You're out. Oh come on,
let's fight, and then suddenly it devolves like that. I
(25:41):
can't believe we actually had that in an exhibition game.
I love it. There's a little bit of Sandlot in
all of us, my friends, and that's that sound like.
And when you consider that, it's a reminder of what
spring training is for. It's to getting the players ready,
and it's also for the entertainment of the fans, and
(26:02):
I think at some point the enjoyment of the players.
They like getting out there, they like competing, they like
showing their organizations what they can do for them during
the regular season. If there's a player that you wanted
to get a look at, who wasn't going to play
in the regular first eight and a half innings, and
when you look at the official Blox score, sure enough,
(26:24):
on the MLB app it just says Pirates seven Orioles four,
with a big X on the bottom of the ninth.
I get it, but I think that it's it's fitting
and very appropriate for where we're at right now, which
is when you get things done in a reasonable amount
of time and when all the players and the coaches
(26:44):
still have energy left, even if the unplayers maybe don't,
then you get to squeeze a little bit of magic
out of the day. And I love that if of course,
it helps that the Orioles and Pirates are spring training
neighbors there, Sarah Soota Bradenton. It's basically around the block
from each other. That to me was a beautiful old
time spring training moment. Fox Sports Radio, Jason Spit Show
(27:07):
with Me, Mike Carmen on the hot Line with us
our bunny Jop Paul Morosi find him on Twitter at
John Morosi. Leave out the h because mom said, so
jo N M O R O S I for all
things baseball as we get ready World Baseball Classic. I
don't know JP's fired up about he got the Sandlot
reference because he probably framed that picture of Mike Trout
with Ham Porter that was making the rounds a little
(27:29):
bit earlier all of those things. But in Dodgerville they're
trying to figure out who subs for Lux. They were
counting on him for huge things and then that awkward
moment that we've now seen a million times JP. How
did they cover that up? It's a tough love for
the Dodgers, there's no question about it, just because of
a couple of reasons. Number One, Lux is a homeroom
(27:51):
guy that they had really had a lot of high
hopes for this year. They had opportunities to look elsewhere
in the shortstop market and did not because they believe
the Lux could handle the job. He had a great offseason,
added some good weight, and then one freakish step and
there goes a really disastrous knee injury. And it's a
(28:13):
blow because they had been building for this to be
the year when he took a step forward, and now
it looks like a lot of Miguel Rojas for the
time being. You could see some Chris Taylor, but I
think we might see Mike one of those really rare
potential trade conversations between the Yankees and the Dodgers. The
Yankees have an absolute abundance of shortstops. We'll see where
(28:38):
things go. Does Oswald Pazza win the job, and if
he does, what happens with kinder Falfa, is he then expendable?
I would assume yes. I think that honestly. Right now,
the Yankees would have to consider moving kinder Falfa in
the right trade because Lemayhew looks like he's going to
be healthy, and they have I think a lot of
really good depth they've got fulbe coming as well. At
(28:59):
some point they've got a trade short stop or Torres.
I don't I don't think that's as likely, but whether
it's kinder Falfa is the one that I think is
the most logical move. If the Dodgers go somewhere to
the outside, so we could see the potentially make a
move that's based largely on the defensive side of the ball,
and they could do that. And yet part of the
(29:22):
issue for the Dodgers now is look at their lineup.
It's it's not the same lineup that won them the
World Series three years ago. Things have changed. They no
longer have certainly, yes they have bets, they've got Freeman,
but they no longer have trade turner. And that's a
significant loss. They no longer have Corey's secrets been now
a year since he was there. So there are a
(29:42):
lot of questions that I've got with the Dodgers even
before the Luck's injury happened, but now, especially with his injury,
it really throws a lot of questions on the Dodgers,
and I think, ironically their cousins on the East Coast,
the Yankees, are the team that I think might actually
be the best trade fit in the new term for
the Dodgers. Whoo Yankees Dodgers trade JP. Get me all excited,
(30:06):
not just watching Max Scherzer pitch, Oh, get me all
excited catching dogs. Yeah, he's all right, bro. I don't
think we've seen many Dodgers Yankees deal since the days
of Jeff Weaver for Kevin Brown. Remember that one. Oh yeah,
oh that's right, that's right years ago. Yeah that was
so every generation we get one every generation. Once a
(30:27):
generation we get a significant Dodger who knows see what happens,
you're coming up. He's on Twitter at John Morossy, That
is at John Morosy. Check him out, MLB Network, Fox
Sports Radio, Baseball Insider. JP is always buddy appreciating my friend.
We'll talk to you next week the conversation. By next week,
the WBC will be underway and I cannot wait to

thanks to munch Buddy. We'll talk it soon. Awesome stuff
as always from John Paul MOROSSI. Look, just think about
the Yankees and Dodgers making a train. That would be insane.
(31:09):
I am so here for that because that would be
We talk about that all season long, the Yankees and
Dodgers making a big trade. Sure, and the White Sox
were the mystery team that just didn't pull the trade right. Yeah,
but we have a mystery team. Stop, I know the
White there. Stop. Let's find out what's trending right now
in the wide world of sports with Kevin wide kadab.
(31:29):
What do you got, hey, guys. We've got two games
in the NBA still going on right now. They have
about five and a half minutes ago in the third
quarter in San Francisco and the Warriors starting to make
this a little close. They were down fourteen at the
end of the first quarter, and we're down seventeen at halftime,
but they cut it to seven seventy four sixty seven
about five and a half minutes ago in the third quarter.
(31:51):
And in Los Angeles it's the Timberwolves leading the Clippers
sixty eight sixty three. They got about seven minutes ago
in the third. Everything else has gone final. They just
finished in Utah and the streak is over for the Spurs.
They've snapped their sixteen game losing streak by beating the
Jazz one o two to ninety four. The Pacers hold
off the Mavericks one twenty four, one twenty two. They
(32:13):
missed a couple of free throws late with about seven
seconds to go, but a twenty five foot shot from
Kyrie Irving at the buzzer would not go in, and

Coming up next. After a big story in the NFL today,
I am ready for another big bold prediction for next season.
(33:58):
Last week I told you, hey, who are your Eagles
and Jalen Hurts this year? I told you AFC, give
me the Jaguars for the Super Bowl. Give me Trevor
Lawrence for MVP. Ooh, I'm ready to make my big
NFC Bowl prediction as well. Straight ahead right here, Jason
and Mike Fox. And it's really gonna pay me to
(34:22):
make this prediction too. 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 iHeartRadio Whip Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon Hobo and uh,
(34:43):
if you're ready for a big NFL Bowl prediction, I
got one for you. Okay, let's go some of the
big news stories in the NFL today that the Falcons
waived Marcus Mariota. Didn't he walk away from the team
that seemed inevitable. They just tell him not to come back. Oh,
I don't come about catch keep walking? That's great. Can
I come back in and get my stuff for Are
you gonna send it to my house? Okay? Great? And
(35:04):
David kung Fu beat it and TJ the Giants decide
they no longer wanted to travel down Galladay Road. TJU,
there was no Galladay in the Sun for the Giants
the last four years. Holliday in the Sun that uh,
it was the last Gala day for Queen Latifa and
(35:27):
Kenny Golladay. That's okay. So the Giants wave Kenny Golladay
today and all over the internet you saw, my goodness,
look at the the run of Dave Gettleman and all
the bad contracts he gave out, all the top contracts
he gave out, none of them worked out. It was
an awful run. For Dave Gettleman, and they let go
(35:47):
Kenny Golladay, who was a big fantasy guy right give
me the Giants, Oh my god. And then he was awful,
couldn't get on the field, wasn't even in the wide
receiver rotation. It was awful by the end of the year.
Now they let him go, and now he's thirty years
old and he'd be looking to be jump starting his
career again. But part of this today they release Kenny Galladay,
and the Giants also say they are optimistic they can
(36:10):
keep both Daniel Jones and say Quon Barkley. It's gonna
be difficult because you're gonna probably have to franchise one
of them. And if you franchise one of them, it's
probably gonna be Barkley because it's only about ten million
dollars to franchise a running back. So okay, that's fine.
But if it's becoming difficult to sign Daniel Jones, you're
gonna have to franchise him and pay him thirty some
(36:31):
odd million, in which case then you're not keeping say
Quon Barkley. But I will say this because this is
this is and if you know, you know, I believe
it so because I wouldn't be saying it pains me
to say this. If the Giants can find a way
to keep Daniel Jones and say Quon Barkley, they already
have about fifty million dollars in cap room after just
clearing Kenny Galladay today. They could save more money depending
(36:54):
on who else they bring back restructuring contracts. They're gonna
have some money to spend if they can keep both
of those guys. I'll give you my Bowl prediction that
it's the Giants in the Super Bowl next season, which
pains me. Pains me to say after the jefter the
Jets do all this care with Robert Sala and the
quarterback in this that Brian Dabele can just show up
(37:14):
with a bunch of spare parts and get to the
playoffs this year. But now that you can bring in
more weapons at wide receiver because you had no wide
receivers last year, none, absolutely none. Your defense needed some help.
You have some money to spend. Yes, the pressure is
on because you did it nice when you know, you
were a nice story and people didn't see you coming.
But the way the Giants won games against teams of
(37:36):
equal talent where they took care of business. That was
the most impressive part of the year to me. They're
gonna spend money. They keep Daniel Jones, they keep Sequon
Barkley because they both work for that team. They're both
overrated other places. I'll tell you, man, I'm looking at
Jaguar's Giants in the Super Bowl next year because the Giants,
they were close to being good enough this year with
all the money to spend in the off season. Watch
(37:57):
out man and Brian Dabele Coach of the Year by FO.
He's the only guy that should have won, and he did.
Watch out Man. The Giants are back. I like, this
is potential chaos and I get to watch you squirm
for an entire season as Derek Carr Gino Smith commands
your squads. He listen, we know what's gonna be, Gino Smith.
We know it's gonna happen, all right, Derek Carr be
(38:17):
a fun story, but my goodness, Gino Smith would be
the Internet would break, so it was gonna be Geno Smith.
Good thing I saved all those Gino Jets rookie cards.
Just kidding, but it is a curiosity for the Giants
because you've seen Daniel Jones name floated out as a well,
what if he ended up going somewhere else, and the
Jets being one of those teams that he was photoshopped
(38:39):
into their uniform in the last forty eight hours as well.
But they're an interesting squad and Gettleman's fingerprints are being
wiped away very quickly as best they can. You got that,
got that extra wax, give an extra coat there, and
let's forget every thing he did in all of these
(39:02):
different transacts, because Gala Days was awful from the outset.
Seventy two million dollars for a guy he played five games,
wishing and hoping, this is drafting that guy hoping, Hey,
his dad's seven feet tall, but what's he had? He's
at sixty three, had at growth spurts coming any day.
Now draft him. So when we look at where the
Giants are now you had a solid defense. You bring
(39:25):
back Barkley again ten twelve million dollars whatever that franchise
tag is, and you settle up with Daniel Jones. Right.
They re emphasized how important he was to where they
look to take this team and figure year two, year
three with Dabel that they'll they'll continue that growth and
(39:45):
they'll find someone else to catch the ball that isn't
Richie James or just say Quon Barkley, who tied for
the team lead with fifty seven receptions. He completed sixty
seven percent of his balls. Yet those guys were the leaders. Yeah, yeah, nobody.
He had nobody to throw too. He had nobody to
throw anybody, Ritchie nobody to throw too. I mean you
(40:06):
had guys getting hurt and Sterling Shepherd. I think Victor
Cruz played a couple of games, had had a couple
of good games. pickI Nicks had a couple of good games.
But yeah, I mean they had no but they had
no weapons. Now Bellingers are pretty good tight end when
he's healthy, so hopefully he's healthy next year. He had
that goofy injury with his art that that that real
freaky injury with his eye. That was a flukey, so
(40:27):
he was out of the lineup for a while. But
he's a really good target. They got money to spend,
and they're gonna spend it in the right places, and
they're closer than you think. They made a big jump.
Now it's a big jump to go from where they
are to be Super Bowl favorites. But they have the
money to spend, and they have the building blocks in place.
I mean, I really it pains me to say it,
but yeah, I can see the Giants in the super
if they keep those guys, I see them in the
(40:49):
Super Bowl. No, I think it's gutsy. I think there's
a lot of work to do with that roster before
you can go that far. Not to mention the cannibalism
of that division, but go tagged everybody else in the division.
Let's get all the Dallas and Philadelphia people pissed deck

(00:47):
we get to this late breaking story involving an NFL quarterback,
you saw the news today that there's going to be
a roast Tom Brady's going to put together a roast
on Netflix, you know, the greatest roast of all time,
where he's going to be roasted by a bunch of
football and media personalities, and they're gonna er it like
those specials you see for anybody else who's been in
(01:09):
the business a long time. Entertainment. We're gonna see that.
You know. Here's my thing, Mike is Brady doesn't strike
me as a guy that would be cool with a
lot of things that are gonna be said in a
roast about him. I mean, there's some guys they think
that would be cool with it, Like I think Aaron
Rodgers could be really cool with the roast, Like he
would laugh and he would think, oh, that's funny. Yeah,
I see what you're doing. You know, make it a
(01:30):
darkness retreat joke. I get it. There's a certain guys
that would say, okay, But I don't know, man, Brady.
Brady takes himself pretty seriously, and some of the jokes
that are gonna be out there, I don't know that
he'd be cool with them. I don't know that it's
gonna be ha ha ha ha, and it's gonna be
Ha'm gonna you know, all right, I'm gonna get you backstage.
I just don't know. He doesn't strike me as that
kind of guy that would be cool with a lot
(01:52):
of that stuff. But it's funny you bring up Rogers.
I think it's the exact opposite, Like Brady has always
been seen as the you know, hey, buttoned up whatever,
and we've seen him get a little bit loose. May
go back to the tidy whitey uh skin on Saturday
out Live all those years ago, back in his chest
was still concave. But Aaron Rodgers is the guy that
didn't look man free and easy flow and look at man,
(02:13):
don't judge. And then I think he'd be staring Daggers
through you, plotting ways to murder you. All right, well
let me give you an example, right like like, so
the Aaron Rodgers roast would be, Hey, Aaron Rodgers, you
want to go in a darkness retreat? Good thing you
signed with the Jets and eggs? Ha you okay, okay, okay, right,
But the Brady, but the Brady rose is gonna be
(02:34):
stuff like this. You know, Tom Brady made a career
out of being able to break down defenses and succeed
against them. But there was one defense he couldn't break down,
Giselle's lawyers. Right, it's gonna be ah, He's gonna I mean,
that's gonna be the jokes. I don't. I mean, that's
that's a lot different than man. But that's and that's man.
(02:55):
I guess you could start getting into some Danna Ka
Patrick's stuff. It's not gonna like it. And he's like, yeah, look,
that's it. That's just an ex go for this is
you know, his ex wife, and it's very public and
she's on she's on the front page of the New
York Post every day. Here she is, she's modeling. Here,
she's mine. Then she modeled and was unrecognizable. Yeah, who's that? Whatever,
(03:15):
But it's in the end, you know, can you put
up a stiff upper lift here? He wants to be
an actor, and he did have a nice turn. There
was a scene in the locker room with Lily Tomlin
at the end. I mean, not to spoil it, but
if you haven't seen eighty for Brady, you have no
intention of seeing eighty for Brady. Is you know where
he actually showed a little bit of vinal Master thespian chops. Yeah,
(03:36):
but I mean the jokes that are gonna be of
the Hey, you know, everybody has some emotions after they
retire from the NFL. Some people are related, some people
are relieved. Tom Brady just looked deflated. Look you know
those Ah no, it's pretty good. Yeah, I'd be a
pretty good people jokes, right, These are pretty good jokes,
Like you should sell that to Jeff Ross now, patent bending,
(04:00):
patent pending. I was gonna say they checked the audio
tape that ends up finding its way in in any form.
Come on, man, I know it's all inspiration and you
find common ground, but I mean that that was that
was well executed. As if you pondered that one while
lamenting Beheim's fate. Well, look, I got another one for you.
Eighty for Brady. Okay, guy, ready with eighty for Brady. Hey,
(04:22):
you know I just found out this eighty for Brady
thing was a movie. I didn't know that because I
kept hearing eighty for Brady, eighty for Brady, eighty for Brady.
I thought that was the amount the percentage of money
he got to keep after the divorce. Wow, man, oh man,
I should be a roast writer. These are pretty I'm
just coming up with these jokes on that, but they're
(04:45):
pretty good. That's right, Like that one, that's a good one,
but it's not that mean spirited. I know it is.
And that's one of those that'll get a good one scratchy.
But I saw the and you know, the inner circle
evidently telling him, hey, don't do this or whatever. It's like,
(05:05):
you know, at this point, he's a guy, and we
profered this theory, and it's it's fun to see the
forty nine er thing or other you know, the could
raise up like he's the undertaker again. What if you
file your papers just to get everybody to leave you
the hell alone for a while, and that if the
circumstances are right, yeah, you could put the you know,
(05:27):
the suit back on and get back out there. But otherwise,
like all right, here we are in post post football days,
and he seems to have a good sense of humor
about it. So, I don't know, you try new things.
He's already got all the business ventures, a lot of
those except for that whole crypto thing, I have been
pretty successful. Well he's not the only guy in cryptos.
(05:51):
Guy got in there, Yeah, as touts or whatever they
wanted to the fact of the matter is, not only
is he being sued about it, he also lost his
ass in terms of a lot there, he and Giselle.
So there's that. Um So now you have to prove
that they acted with malfeasance as opposed to just getting
duped because you're not always the smartest guy in the room.
(06:11):
No you're not. But I I really wonder is how
how how is this going to go? I think, how
does this really go? I want to sign us up
now to be in the in the roast room, you know,
like another another one. Okay, you keep seeing Giselle in
the news every day, and she's modeling, and she's with
the guy that may or may not be your personal trainer,
they may or may not be dating, and Brady doesn't
(06:32):
have any answers. So clearly the only thing he knew
that was coming with the plays. Okay, it's a good one,
a little bit long. Yeah, but I mean you're gonna
have a bunch of folks in that room that have
no idea what the hell that means. Oh, but it
doesn't matter, everybody. There will be enough people laughing that
we'll get it. No, it's it that stare into space
(06:54):
kind of thing. Well, it's not just gonna be a hey,
the crowd is gonna be just at people my ex
wife day and you guys just slaps everybody that made
a joke about Gazelle. Well, I mean it ties into
the slapping Federation, right, so you got that going for you.
Now there's an ass Slaps Federation, you see that. Yeah, No,
well you knew there was going to be some kind
(07:15):
of derivative. Hey, how do we capitalize on this. Let's
do something else. Yeah, Hey, McDonald's is popular, let's go
up with something called burger king. Oh this is great.
It was gonna be saying, man, all you need is
a sliver of that success. That's that's what it's all about.
All right. Listen, this slap thing is working out pretty well.
Any other parts of the body that we can slap?
How about we slap somebody's ass. Oh it's a great idea.
(07:35):
Let's patent that right now. Let's make sure nobody else
has that in development and we can make that go.
It's been a very popular women's division, although I think
depending on your search engine, you probably found out something
equivalent a while bank. You know, Brady also is going
to do something revolutionary this year because he's going to
be part of a set called the Draft That Never Was,
(07:58):
So guys that got drafted and never played in Major
League Baseball. So Bowman baseball cards of him in photo
brush or airbrushed and photoshopped into an expose uniform. I'm
Tom Brady. We have a lot of guys here. They
were a draft that have never played Major League baseball.
The reason is because they all made untild millions playing
a different sport. Let's talk to them and see how
(08:21):
the road less taken turned out to be much more
fruitful for them. Kyler Murray, come on in. That's okay,
all right, great, these guys a Twitter and out about

(08:43):
the Roast, which I'm telling you it may not go
how you think it's gonna go. I'll tell you what.
Keep writing those jokes, man, I'm telling you, Jeffrey Dude,
I'll pay you, man, I'll pay These are all jokes.
I just come with it like I'm so talented and
stuff like that. Man, certain things off the top of
my head, it's like boom, I feel like I missed
my calling some time. But another big NFL story that's
just come up in the last couple of hours is
(09:05):
that the Seattle Seahawks, while they're working to resign Pro
Bowl quarterback Gino Smith, things I never thought i'd say
a year ago in this day, say they're also considering
drafting a quarterback at number five. They pick fifth overall
in the draft this year thanks to that trade for
Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll said, Hey, we haven't picked this
(09:27):
high in the draft in a long time. We don't
get to look at the quarterback class this way, so
this is something we're very, very interested in. Now, do
you really think they're gonna draft a quarterback at five
if they resign Geno Smith. No, it's a lot of
money for Gino Smith. They need to remake this team
and they need to improve it. They have a quarterback
they're gonna sign for a couple of years. Are gonna
you're gonna draft a guy at five that's gonna sit?
(09:49):
Probably not. This is just one of those Hey, Gino Smith, dude,
we thought these negotiations were gonna go really easy and
they're not. And just to let you know, we have options,
We don't need to keep you and let you go
someplace else. You want to really play hardball with us
for money, Um, we'll go with a guy at number five.
This is a message to Gino Smith that we don't
need to sign you. We'd love to, we want this
(10:11):
to happen, but we don't need to and we can
move on. And every time I see this story, and
there's been a lot of this the last couple of
weeks of the Seahawks saying hey, we're hopeful with Geno Smith.
We were making a little bit of progress, but you
never know. I just keep thinking one thing, He's who
the Jets are gonna wind up with. He I just
forget about Derek Carr, forget about Aaron Rod. The Jets
(10:33):
are gonna wind up bringing back Genos Smith because that's
how it goes for the Jets. They're gonna convince themselves
that he's the guy. I'll go back to New York, right,
and that's who there, because it would be completely and
totally Jets to wind up bringing back Gino Smith. So
that's what's gonna happen. Now, forget about all the other
guys that it could be, whether it doesn't matter, it's
(10:53):
gonna wind up being Geno Smith because that's totally jets. Wow,
that was a degree pivot from yesterday. That's going to happen, man,
car I'm gonna have Derek Carr sign the bag that
I ride the lightning man, I ride the lightning of
the No, no, this one man is. It's the next
level stuff, right. Pete Carroll very diplomatic when asked about
(11:13):
all the stuff about Russell Wilson's a good job by him,
so that that was a good job deflecting and just
moving on. As for Gino, like, there's two sides to it, right,
is like I can't blame him for asking for the world.
He's in decade number two. Yes, he's been drawing his salary,
but now is his one chance in theory to really
(11:35):
cash in. Unfortunately, he only has one year of experience
to say, hey, look what I am. It's like, well,
are you really or what? Did the stars? Just a
line for one year? In this offense you've been in
for a couple of years. Because that's the other thing, right,
you're trying to play the Hey you've been here and
that's why you were successful because you were grown in it.
(11:57):
The last couple of years you are around it. The
call sure these players, everything else, throwing to them at
camps and whatever else. Um, But I can't blame the
guy if he wants to play hardball. I just hope it.
If it results in him going back to the Jets,
I think it could be disastrous for all of you.
(12:17):
Whatever the Jets do is gonna wind up being disastrous.
What do you think it's good? Look? I could keep saying, hey,
because it's quarterback season and it's awesome and immigant Aaron Rod.
But whoever the Jets get, it's not gonna work. But look,
you've at least got the makings of a quality team. Again,
it goes back to the the what I've been trying
to do as the would be czar of things, and
(12:40):
I take away certain powers like we're playing Dungeons and
Dragons or something. You know. All right, for this turn,
you don't get to do this. So here, you don't
get to draft a quarterback for the Chargers. I mean
I already got their head trainer fired. I did. That's done.
So now you know the Colts, somebody other than Ballard
gets to pick the QB in Baltimore. They spent a
(13:02):
lot of draft capital and money on wide receivers. They
don't get to do it with the Jets. Do Dougles
get to decide the quarterback? I don't think he does.
I don't think he does. So I think you're finding
someone else, maybe an outside consultant like you. Nobody should
decide the quarterback. It should just be whoever shows up
the first day, that's it. And that way, no one
is on the hook for bringing anybody in California League.
(13:23):
If you want to be the quarterback, you just show
up that day and there's some kind of fight or
contest that the quarterbacks have with each other, and the
winner of that is the quarterback, And that way, no
one's got to I would rather see the guys throw
the ball. I mean sometimes that would be okay, But
I'd rather see them throw the ball. Okay, No, I
think that would probably be the best way either or
(13:44):
they fight in the cage on the fifty. Yeah, I'd
rather see him throw the ball. Well, Robert Salo's gonna
win every fight, because I mean, come on, man, Robert
Salo beat up everybody, but I really would, we're gonna
make a decision. By not making a decision, we're gonna
fighte a bunch of people to show up, and whoever
wins the battle that they have on their own, that's
our quarterback. And then we avoid the stigma of having
to make a decision and choosing a quarterback. And you
(14:06):
can't say all the Jets can't pick a quarterback because
the quarterback would have really picked them. Think about that.
Now you're now you're taking the bear scenario. You threw
it up yesterday to show up standing it to the
next level of Hey, whoever shows up, by the way,
just is this right? The Jets have open triuts a quarterback. Yeah,
you can be there Thursday at noon. I'm excited. That'll
(14:27):
be great. That's not a bad way to go. That
could be a fun I mean, you want to talk
about a fun you know, pay per view or made
for TV event right there? I mean, you get to
keep a football. You move on to week two. Yeah,
you get to keep a football instead of a roads
you get a football. Oh, I like it. I like it.
(14:48):
Here's a football with a number. This is where you
ranked for this this week. And if you get no football,
you get sacked by new Hall of Famer joke collect
no or wait a minute, wait a minute, wait wow,
And that's pretty I'd like to see that. That'd be
pretty cool. I would like to side. But I also
like maybe every week you get a piece of equipment,
and when you get the final piece of equipment, which
is the jersey, you officially are the quarterback. Right Like
(15:11):
this week we're giving out cleats. If you get a
pair of cleats, you get to come back next week,
and you all the way up. You start cleats all wayup,
and the last thing is the jersey. So the last
ceremony is guys and helmets and shoulder pads with no jersey,
and you give the jersey. He puts it on, and
he's the quarterback. That's pretty good. You know. They do
the action figures that way, right, So you buy a
series of action figures and you build a figure, like
(15:34):
in the WWE they had a series where you had
to buy these five other figures I think, and you
got each had a part of mean gene Okerland, Hey,
what part of mean gene do you have? I got
both arms in a leg. Oh I'm missing the leg.
Can you give me an extra leg? I need that? No?
But legitimately, like you go into a choice store if
you had no idea what was happening in that figure,
(15:58):
and they've done it with other things like Suicide Squad,
it was build King Shark and else. But this also
does extend back into my how do you get? You know,
halftime entertainment. Everybody wants to fight about the next music act.

(17:48):
Bundling safe at Progressive dot Com. Well joining us now,
I'm the hotline. We've got a big time injury to
break down. But more so than that, this will be
his first appearance since we are going to institute now
the response clock whenever we talk baseball with John Paul
Morosi MLB Network and Fox Sports Radio Insider. He needs
to start and finish his comments before the comment clock
(18:13):
hits zero. Otherwise none of his comments counts and he
gets to strike against him. In three strikes, he's out.
So JP, I hope you are ready for this new
phase of Major League Baseball conversation. Revity is not my
strength right away. I'm going to disapplin. It's pretty good
(18:35):
to start things off. That was pretty impressive. Start slow
and then try to lull him into sleep and then
maybe you can get away with the longer response later.
Like You're like, you're a picture of the time. I'm banking.
This is like one of those SNL debates from years
(18:55):
ago where where the first President Bush, I believe, seated
a lot of the remainder of his time during the
course of those debates, of course, as played by Dana Carvey. Yeah,
so a good moments there. I feel like I'm doing that.
I'm seating my time forward in the next debate, that
comment was twenty four seconds. That has passed the fifteen seconds,
(19:16):
so the last nine seconds need to be stricken, including
your punchline. I'm sorry about that. Well, no, the game
just ended. Sorry the interviews over. John Paulding megan in time.
That's it, just like the other day. Hey, the games
game's done. You know, I gotta tell you. JP looking
at the new pitch fluck, which is the talk of
Major League Baseball. Now we've seen it already, in effect,
(19:36):
a game ended when a strike was called because the
batter wasn't ready. It's been theat Everybody has an opinion
on it. The pitchers seem to like it. Some pitchers
feel like they were rushed when they're in there. But
for watching the game, this is how I think of it,
because eventually everybody's going to adjust that. They'll adjust to
what the pitchers will adjust, the hitters will adjust. But
watching the game, this is like one of those game
(19:56):
changing moments where you're gonna watch that pitch, every single pitch,
and it's just like in a football game when the
play clock looks like it's going to hit zero, you're
rooting for it to get there for a delay of game.
You're gonna watch that pitch clock and go, oh, he
wasn't ready by eight seconds. Oh do you deliver that
pitch in time, and you're going to do that every
single pitch. It's going to be impossible to not watch
(20:18):
that clock ticking down before every pitch. It's going to
change how we watch baseball games. So here's the idea.
I think that in the near term, you're right that
it is an object of fascination. Now it's honestly, here's
the interesting part of it. It is put baseball and
you would both be better judge of this than I
(20:40):
would be, But it's put baseball at more at the
forefront of the national sports conversation than it typically is.
Before the first of March, we are really talking about
the game, not just the players, but the sport, the institution,
where it is, where it's trending. I think that for
(21:01):
the time being, yes, we are very much predisposed to
focus on the clock. How closely are our pitchers and
hitters getting to when they need to be delivering their
performance in the a lot of time, there's a lot
of intrigue about it. My belief is that when we're
(21:22):
in this one month, six weeks, that we will just
get used to it, that it will not necessarily become
the story. Yes, violations will happen, but by and large
players will adjust. That's what the track record was at
the minor league level. And the Upstein talked about this,
and the other part of this is it's good for
(21:44):
the game. It really is. You saw a game today,
just for the sake of argument, a nine to eight
game between the Mariners and Guardians in Peoria. Twenty one hits,
seventeen runs, time of game two hours fifty four minutes. Now,
in my experience, having covered a lot of spring training
(22:05):
games in my life, when games get to have more
than twenty hits and seventeen runs, they almost always were
three thirty at least and often three forty five, three fifty.
That's just what that box score, that line score. If
you'd told me that in the before times, I would
(22:26):
have said three and a half easily. And it's just
it's a better product. The product is better, the game
movements are sharper, the athleticism is heightened. It's better to watch,
and it's been better to watch for the first nearly
week of major league games here in twenty twenty three. See,
(22:47):
you're just I mean, and you can use this one.
You're just trying to move away from what was a
Floyd Mayweather fight, a lot of dancing, a lot of jukin,
and then occasionally you get that flash of patent kind
of action that we would see most often in the
result of a home run. But here the action moves.
I saw side by side JP of someone going all right,
(23:09):
here's a half inning in this spring training and here's
it at bat from last year, and what's the run
in real time or on MLB network this morning. I
loved him, Mad Beast scursion. He did a great job.
He showed an entire inning that was completed in the
amount of time before Pedro Bayaz actually threw a pitch
(23:34):
in the twenty seven. There you go, coming back from break.
Here's bias steps off, throws over steps, off, throws over again,
and and that's just not gonna happen anymore. At the
end of the day. In most aspects of American life,
(23:54):
we say, give me more, give me more substance for
the money I'm spending, give me more action per second,
Give me a faster upload download speed. That's what we want.
We want a web page delivered to our phones in
(24:15):
a split second as opposed to ten seconds. Well, here
you go. It's a pitch delivered, and I think it's
just a it's a better product. It's more timely, better flow,
better athleticism, and I think you're also going to see,
I believe, more athletic play and just be better athletes,
(24:37):
better conditioned athletes, better action late in the season when
you really want it. I just think this is a
win win all the way around. And when you've got
someone like Max Scherzer who is complementing the new rules,
that tells you something. John Paul Morossi, our guest MLB
Network inside of the Jason Smith Show in Mike Harmon. Now,
before we get to Gavin looks, you don't look. Usually
(25:00):
in spring training, you see things you'd never seen before.
And I always subscribe with the Jason Stark philosophy of
baseball has been played for one hundred and twenty years,
and you still say regularly, I've never seen that before. Today,
the Orioles and Pirates played an umpire less bottom of
the ninth inning. The game didn't need to go to
the bottom of the ninth inning, but the teams agreed
that hey to get some work for our players, in
(25:21):
particular our pitchers, We're going to play the bottom of
the ninth if we don't even if we don't need to.
The umpire said, we don't want to ump it, so
they walked off. So they played the bottom of the
ninth and the catcher called balls and strikes, like when
you're playing as a kid, Like the catcher's calling balls
to say, oh, come on, man, that was outside. No
it wasn't. That was a strike. You're out. Oh come on,
let's fight, and then suddenly it devolves like that. I
(25:41):
can't believe we actually had that in an exhibition game.
I love it. There's a little bit of Sandlot in
all of us, my friends, and that's that sound like.
And when you consider that, it's a reminder of what
spring training is for. It's to getting the players ready,
and it's also for the entertainment of the fans, and
(26:02):
I think at some point the enjoyment of the players.
They like getting out there, they like competing, they like
showing their organizations what they can do for them during
the regular season. If there's a player that you wanted
to get a look at, who wasn't going to play
in the regular first eight and a half innings, and
when you look at the official Blox score, sure enough,
(26:24):
on the MLB app it just says Pirates seven Orioles four,
with a big X on the bottom of the ninth.
I get it, but I think that it's it's fitting
and very appropriate for where we're at right now, which
is when you get things done in a reasonable amount
of time and when all the players and the coaches
(26:44):
still have energy left, even if the unplayers maybe don't,
then you get to squeeze a little bit of magic
out of the day. And I love that if of course,
it helps that the Orioles and Pirates are spring training
neighbors there, Sarah Soota Bradenton. It's basically around the block
from each other. That to me was a beautiful old
time spring training moment. Fox Sports Radio, Jason Spit Show
(27:07):
with Me, Mike Carmen on the hot Line with us
our bunny Jop Paul Morosi find him on Twitter at
John Morosi. Leave out the h because mom said, so
jo N M O R O S I for all
things baseball as we get ready World Baseball Classic. I
don't know JP's fired up about he got the Sandlot
reference because he probably framed that picture of Mike Trout
with Ham Porter that was making the rounds a little
(27:29):
bit earlier all of those things. But in Dodgerville they're
trying to figure out who subs for Lux. They were
counting on him for huge things and then that awkward
moment that we've now seen a million times JP. How
did they cover that up? It's a tough love for
the Dodgers, there's no question about it, just because of
a couple of reasons. Number One, Lux is a homeroom
(27:51):
guy that they had really had a lot of high
hopes for this year. They had opportunities to look elsewhere
in the shortstop market and did not because they believe
the Lux could handle the job. He had a great offseason,
added some good weight, and then one freakish step and
there goes a really disastrous knee injury. And it's a
(28:13):
blow because they had been building for this to be
the year when he took a step forward, and now
it looks like a lot of Miguel Rojas for the
time being. You could see some Chris Taylor, but I
think we might see Mike one of those really rare
potential trade conversations between the Yankees and the Dodgers. The
Yankees have an absolute abundance of shortstops. We'll see where
(28:38):
things go. Does Oswald Pazza win the job, and if
he does, what happens with kinder Falfa, is he then expendable?
I would assume yes. I think that honestly. Right now,
the Yankees would have to consider moving kinder Falfa in
the right trade because Lemayhew looks like he's going to
be healthy, and they have I think a lot of
really good depth they've got fulbe coming as well. At
(28:59):
some point they've got a trade short stop or Torres.
I don't I don't think that's as likely, but whether
it's kinder Falfa is the one that I think is
the most logical move. If the Dodgers go somewhere to
the outside, so we could see the potentially make a
move that's based largely on the defensive side of the ball,
and they could do that. And yet part of the
(29:22):
issue for the Dodgers now is look at their lineup.
It's it's not the same lineup that won them the
World Series three years ago. Things have changed. They no
longer have certainly, yes they have bets, they've got Freeman,
but they no longer have trade turner. And that's a
significant loss. They no longer have Corey's secrets been now
a year since he was there. So there are a
(29:42):
lot of questions that I've got with the Dodgers even
before the Luck's injury happened, but now, especially with his injury,
it really throws a lot of questions on the Dodgers,
and I think, ironically their cousins on the East Coast,
the Yankees, are the team that I think might actually
be the best trade fit in the new term for
the Dodgers. Whoo Yankees Dodgers trade JP. Get me all excited,
(30:06):
not just watching Max Scherzer pitch, Oh, get me all
excited catching dogs. Yeah, he's all right, bro. I don't
think we've seen many Dodgers Yankees deal since the days
of Jeff Weaver for Kevin Brown. Remember that one. Oh yeah,
oh that's right, that's right years ago. Yeah that was
so every generation we get one every generation. Once a
(30:27):
generation we get a significant Dodger who knows see what happens,
you're coming up. He's on Twitter at John Morossy, That
is at John Morosy. Check him out, MLB Network, Fox
Sports Radio, Baseball Insider. JP is always buddy appreciating my friend.
We'll talk to you next week the conversation. By next week,
the WBC will be underway and I cannot wait to
(30:47):
break it down with you guys. And you know you know,
of course Fox Sports, the home of the World Baseball Classic.
John Paul Morossy brevity is not his friend. It's gonna
be on a Twitter page. Check it out pretty soon
thanks to munch Buddy. We'll talk it soon. Awesome stuff
as always from John Paul MOROSSI. Look, just think about
the Yankees and Dodgers making a train. That would be insane.
(31:09):
I am so here for that because that would be
We talk about that all season long, the Yankees and
Dodgers making a big trade. Sure, and the White Sox
were the mystery team that just didn't pull the trade right. Yeah,
but we have a mystery team. Stop, I know the
White there. Stop. Let's find out what's trending right now
in the wide world of sports with Kevin wide kadab.
(31:29):
What do you got, hey, guys. We've got two games
in the NBA still going on right now. They have
about five and a half minutes ago in the third
quarter in San Francisco and the Warriors starting to make
this a little close. They were down fourteen at the
end of the first quarter, and we're down seventeen at halftime,
but they cut it to seven seventy four sixty seven
about five and a half minutes ago in the third quarter.
(31:51):
And in Los Angeles it's the Timberwolves leading the Clippers
sixty eight sixty three. They got about seven minutes ago
in the third. Everything else has gone final. They just
finished in Utah and the streak is over for the Spurs.
They've snapped their sixteen game losing streak by beating the
Jazz one o two to ninety four. The Pacers hold
off the Mavericks one twenty four, one twenty two. They
(32:13):
missed a couple of free throws late with about seven
seconds to go, but a twenty five foot shot from
Kyrie Irving at the buzzer would not go in, and
the Pacers able to hold off. Dallas. Kings meet the
Thunder one twenty three, one seventeen. Nuggets blow out the
Rockets one thirty three to one twelve. Grizzlies beat the
Lakers one twenty one to one oh nine. Jamal excuse me,
(32:33):
John Morant with a triple double thirty nine points, ten
rebounds and ten assists. No Lebron James ESPN reporting he
will be reevaluated in two weeks with a foot injury
he suffered in the game against Dallas on Sunday, Raptors
Comfort Behind. He Meet the Bulls one oh four ninety
eight Bucks Over the Net one eighteen, one oh four
Wizards Meet the Hawks one nineteen, one sixteen. Back to you, guys,

Coming up next. After a big story in the NFL today,
I am ready for another big bold prediction for next season.
(33:58):
Last week I told you, hey, who are your Eagles
and Jalen Hurts this year? I told you AFC, give
me the Jaguars for the Super Bowl. Give me Trevor
Lawrence for MVP. Ooh, I'm ready to make my big
NFC Bowl prediction as well. Straight ahead right here, Jason
and Mike Fox. And it's really gonna pay me to
(34:22):
make this prediction too. 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 iHeartRadio Whip Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon Hobo and uh,
(34:43):
if you're ready for a big NFL Bowl prediction, I
got one for you. Okay, let's go some of the
big news stories in the NFL today that the Falcons
waived Marcus Mariota. Didn't he walk away from the team
that seemed inevitable. They just tell him not to come back. Oh,
I don't come about catch keep walking? That's great. Can
I come back in and get my stuff for Are
you gonna send it to my house? Okay? Great? And
(35:04):
David kung Fu beat it and TJ the Giants decide
they no longer wanted to travel down Galladay Road. TJU,
there was no Galladay in the Sun for the Giants
the last four years. Holliday in the Sun that uh,
it was the last Gala day for Queen Latifa and
(35:27):
Kenny Golladay. That's okay. So the Giants wave Kenny Golladay
today and all over the internet you saw, my goodness,
look at the the run of Dave Gettleman and all
the bad contracts he gave out, all the top contracts
he gave out, none of them worked out. It was
an awful run. For Dave Gettleman, and they let go
(35:47):
Kenny Golladay, who was a big fantasy guy right give
me the Giants, Oh my god. And then he was awful,
couldn't get on the field, wasn't even in the wide
receiver rotation. It was awful by the end of the year.
Now they let him go, and now he's thirty years
old and he'd be looking to be jump starting his
career again. But part of this today they release Kenny Galladay,
and the Giants also say they are optimistic they can
(36:10):
keep both Daniel Jones and say Quon Barkley. It's gonna
be difficult because you're gonna probably have to franchise one
of them. And if you franchise one of them, it's
probably gonna be Barkley because it's only about ten million
dollars to franchise a running back. So okay, that's fine.
But if it's becoming difficult to sign Daniel Jones, you're
gonna have to franchise him and pay him thirty some
(36:31):
odd million, in which case then you're not keeping say
Quon Barkley. But I will say this because this is
this is and if you know, you know, I believe
it so because I wouldn't be saying it pains me
to say this. If the Giants can find a way
to keep Daniel Jones and say Quon Barkley, they already
have about fifty million dollars in cap room after just
clearing Kenny Galladay today. They could save more money depending
(36:54):
on who else they bring back restructuring contracts. They're gonna
have some money to spend if they can keep both
of those guys. I'll give you my Bowl prediction that
it's the Giants in the Super Bowl next season, which
pains me. Pains me to say after the jefter the
Jets do all this care with Robert Sala and the
quarterback in this that Brian Dabele can just show up
(37:14):
with a bunch of spare parts and get to the
playoffs this year. But now that you can bring in
more weapons at wide receiver because you had no wide
receivers last year, none, absolutely none. Your defense needed some help.
You have some money to spend. Yes, the pressure is
on because you did it nice when you know, you
were a nice story and people didn't see you coming.
But the way the Giants won games against teams of
(37:36):
equal talent where they took care of business. That was
the most impressive part of the year to me. They're
gonna spend money. They keep Daniel Jones, they keep Sequon
Barkley because they both work for that team. They're both
overrated other places. I'll tell you, man, I'm looking at
Jaguar's Giants in the Super Bowl next year because the Giants,
they were close to being good enough this year with
all the money to spend in the off season. Watch
(37:57):
out man and Brian Dabele Coach of the Year by FO.
He's the only guy that should have won, and he did.
Watch out Man. The Giants are back. I like, this
is potential chaos and I get to watch you squirm
for an entire season as Derek Carr Gino Smith commands
your squads. He listen, we know what's gonna be, Gino Smith.
We know it's gonna happen, all right, Derek Carr be
(38:17):
a fun story, but my goodness, Gino Smith would be
the Internet would break, so it was gonna be Geno Smith.
Good thing I saved all those Gino Jets rookie cards.
Just kidding, but it is a curiosity for the Giants
because you've seen Daniel Jones name floated out as a well,
what if he ended up going somewhere else, and the
Jets being one of those teams that he was photoshopped
(38:39):
into their uniform in the last forty eight hours as well.
But they're an interesting squad and Gettleman's fingerprints are being
wiped away very quickly as best they can. You got that,
got that extra wax, give an extra coat there, and
let's forget every thing he did in all of these
(39:02):
different transacts, because Gala Days was awful from the outset.
Seventy two million dollars for a guy he played five games,
wishing and hoping, this is drafting that guy hoping, Hey,
his dad's seven feet tall, but what's he had? He's
at sixty three, had at growth spurts coming any day.
Now draft him. So when we look at where the
Giants are now you had a solid defense. You bring
(39:25):
back Barkley again ten twelve million dollars whatever that franchise
tag is, and you settle up with Daniel Jones. Right.
They re emphasized how important he was to where they
look to take this team and figure year two, year
three with Dabel that they'll they'll continue that growth and
(39:45):
they'll find someone else to catch the ball that isn't
Richie James or just say Quon Barkley, who tied for
the team lead with fifty seven receptions. He completed sixty
seven percent of his balls. Yet those guys were the leaders. Yeah, yeah, nobody.
He had nobody to throw too. He had nobody to
throw anybody, Ritchie nobody to throw too. I mean you
(40:06):
had guys getting hurt and Sterling Shepherd. I think Victor
Cruz played a couple of games, had had a couple
of good games. pickI Nicks had a couple of good games.
But yeah, I mean they had no but they had
no weapons. Now Bellingers are pretty good tight end when
he's healthy, so hopefully he's healthy next year. He had
that goofy injury with his art that that that real
freaky injury with his eye. That was a flukey, so
(40:27):
he was out of the lineup for a while. But
he's a really good target. They got money to spend,
and they're gonna spend it in the right places, and
they're closer than you think. They made a big jump.
Now it's a big jump to go from where they
are to be Super Bowl favorites. But they have the
money to spend, and they have the building blocks in place.
I mean, I really it pains me to say it,
but yeah, I can see the Giants in the super
if they keep those guys, I see them in the
(40:49):
Super Bowl. No, I think it's gutsy. I think there's
a lot of work to do with that roster before
you can go that far. Not to mention the cannibalism
of that division, but go tagged everybody else in the division.
Let's get all the Dallas and Philadelphia people pissed deck
