have a big question, Mike Harman. I have a really
big question to start the show with tonight, very very big, ques,
very very big question. Isn't have anything to do with
which of our team's lost today? No, no, no, that's
not that. No, No, that's just me. Yeah no that's you. No, no,
m A lot of runs these days, yeah no, how
many hits you give up today? Like thirty five? That's
(01:09):
a lot. Yeah, we count a lot. It's a veritable
gas how gas house guerrillas kind of situation going, what
do you lose? Like twenty to six today? Was that
the fun? Always sixteen? But sixteen? Okay, all right, okay,
just wanted to make sure, okay, thank yeah, and uh yeah,
how many? How many? Oh twenty hits? Wow? Wow, you
gave up twenty Oh yeah, no, it's not it's not good.
(01:30):
O my goodness. Oh. Already a lot of hand ringing
going on in the Great City of Chicago, and like clockwork,
Elloy Himenez already on the DL. No, man, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. Injured list Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't want
to get that wrong, So I don't infuriate anybody off
the camp here. Yeah, I know, but I have a
(01:50):
very big question. Okay, but this goes into the one
of the big discussions that's been going on the last
few days when it comes to NBA MV Okay, let's
get about okay now Tonight in the NBA SUKT, a
couple of big games going on Oklahoma City in Utah
big one. We got Denver and Phoenix just about the tip,
which is gonna be an awesome game. This could be
(02:11):
in Western Conference Finals preview, but now I want to
I want to get to MP cause the Sixers played tonight, Yeah,
and Joel Embiid only scored twenty one points slacker and
the Sixers lost by twenty eight. So it was the
MVP race over again. And now he can't win because
he was bad tonight he only had twenty one. But
(02:32):
I mean it was over the other night when he
had fifty, it was over. But the nights when he's
not that great and they lose by twenty eight, I mean,
does not have to eliminate him, right He could win
it the other night, but now he's eliminated from winning
it right now. Yeah, I mean, we really rock back
and forth on a very large pendulum and you're just
hoping to hold on. It's kind of like when Jack
Sparrow and they had that giant ball of twine where
(02:54):
they were trying to get out as like and then
it was like a Family Guy episode where they just
trying to steal five minutes of film because they had
nothing else to say. How long can we make this
bit go on? Sure? And so that that's it and
that's what we're riding with this Joel embiid MVP candidacy,
which I think he's just qualified automatically by begging for it. Well,
(03:16):
I mean he'd have to be disqualified for the last
three years. Every couple of days, it's I Why am
I not the MVP? Why am I not the MV?
Why would not the word? I'll print out a plaque. Hell,
I'll get you a replica championship belt if that's gonna
make you feel better. If God man, if you hooked
him up to a lie detector, I guarantee you wing
up to a lie detector, and said Joel, I can
(03:38):
wave a magic wand, and I can guarantee you one
of two things. Okay, sounds like a Disney villain coming.
I can give you one of two things. Yes, suddenly
on the shout of the devil, I don't know what's
on the other. I'm Gaston, I got you. I can
do it. I can give you one of two things.
I can give you a unanimous MVP you will win
unanimous ye, yes, unanimous MVP award unanimous. Or or I
(04:07):
can give you an NBA championship. What do you pick?
And he wouldn't take more than one second before he
said MVP, give me the unanimous MVP. Give me. He
talks about the doesn't talk about Whinny Championship, talks about
winning the MP and yes, I get it, lots of
players want to win the MVP. Of course they do.
Of course, when you're really, really good, it's a big
heart desire for you. But just like people, just like stars, learn,
(04:31):
there's things you really want to do that you keep
to yourself, and there's things that you can say out loud.
But when he continues to be overly so about it,
he's the only guy that talks more about the Nobody
else talks about the MVP like Joel Embat and his
teammates do, and doc, Yeah, I'm the m on the
m I don't know why I'm not the MVP. I'm
the MVP. I'm the MVP. I'm the MVP. All that
(04:51):
he is obsessed with being the MVP, and he's one
of those guys that every day but looks at his stats,
looks at what people did the night before and go, oh,
I should win the MVP. I really be my MVP
tracker and the Joelle Embat in my house on my
laptop MVP tracker. I'm the MVP. I don't know why
I'm not the MVP. I'm gonna have a fake ceremony
at the end of the year. Don't give myself the
(05:12):
MVP if I don't get it, and I'll invite some
players around the league to come in. Hey be here,
because I'm the real MVP. So I'm gonna have my
own ceremony and I'm going to crown myself the MVP,
because obviously, if the voters don't give it to me,
I gotta give it to myself. Well, you know, he's
a big WWE fan, and in the past he's done
the degeneration X crotch chop, for which he was fined,
(05:33):
so he'll move on to something else. And at this
point he's really just crying and begging for the undisputed
heavyweight champion to just give him the microphone and yell,
acknowledge me. Dad. He just wants everybody to just say,
you know what, I can't help what Harden does. I
can't help that Doc can't coach uside of a playoff round.
(05:55):
But I'm dominant. I'm the man. See, I'd like to
hear that though it's not my fault, DOC can't coach
in the playoffs. What do you want from me? I
mean I cut you, I cut you the chase. I
mean these words and opinions express may not exactly be
those held by Joel I'm need, but I'm projecting here.
I'm projecting from my perch here at Fox Sports Radio
(06:17):
as they get drum one twenty nine one oh one
my heat once again, I'm jumping on I'm jumping on
that wagon again, them and the Kings. Let's go see.
I'll tell you, I'm sorry. I don't know what to do,
but you gave me Doc Rivers. This is way. If
that's why I'm not winning MVP, I completely understand. But
he's trying to be a good hype man for him.
(06:38):
You gotta give for that. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
He knows it's all going down in flames in the playoffs.
Oh he's getting ahead of it right now. That's my guy.
Oh he's the best going today. So I see what
you're doing. So because he knows, Hey, listen, something's gonna happen.
I'm gonna screw up in the playoffs and we're not
gonna win. So let me at least get on board
with Joel being the MVP some hundred percent. Okay, I'm
(07:02):
I'm with you. It's a let's talk this up to
high heavens and just tell everybody how great he is,
because that way, when it goes bad, can't blame Doc,
can't blame Doc. You know, listen, in about a month,
you're gonna be blaming me for everything. So let me
get this out now. Joel's the MVP and less if
you disagree with me and a month, everybody's gonna hate me,
it's gonna be my fault, and I'm just gonna blame
(07:22):
Ben Simmons. So right now, I'll get all the good
publicity and you guys can let me go. So who's
got the MVP? Questions? I got him right now? What
do you want to know? Harden should be second, Yes,
it should be Joel, it should be Hardened, and then
it should be Iverson. That's that's how you go. And
then and then of course KG and Perkins and Ray Allen,
my big group from Boston that never lost even though
we traded everybody away because we couldn't win with him.
(07:44):
So yeah, so I'm sorry, did I go? Did I
getting too far ahead of myself? Ask your next question?
I like that. Yeah, residual, doc effect and residual Ben Simmons,
what's left there? Doc? Twitter and out about a fresca.
Mike gets swollen down the Jason smithsho Mike Harmon again.
Huge game in the NBA going on right now, Denver
and Phoenix early in the first quarter. Denver's up by
(08:06):
a point six five. Will keep you posted on this one. Meanwhile,
today was day one of the Masters. Yeah, and you know,
today was a day of what I like to call
missed opportunities when you are the PGA Tour and you
don't understand that while this has been very difficult, you
have been given a gift because what's been the topic
(08:29):
for the last ten years? How do we move on
past the Tiger Woods era? How do we do it right?
I don't know how Tiger's not really winning when he's
in tournaments. Great, people watch, it's great. How do we
move on? We don't know. And then the Live Tour
shows up and they start taking some great golfers and
then suddenly, wait, golf is getting a lot of headlines
and people are up to people are paying attention to golf.
People are mad at the guys who were leaving in
(08:50):
the PGA Tour is saying, well, hey, they want to
come back and play. They got to do certain things,
and it's a big back and forth. We're getting a
lot of relevancy and here's a PGA Tour and their
ratings are up a little bit and there purses are
up a little bit with players leaving eye And this
was gonna be where you just stoked that fire and
everything just came out of a cauldron a flame. This
(09:12):
was day one of the Masters where the PGA Tour
golfers and the live golfers had to live together after
Freddie Couples was lighting Phil Mickelson on fire and Sergio
Garcia on fire, and the live tour is nervous because
no one's watching and they're wondering how long are we
gonna be around. This was something you should have leaned into,
(09:32):
and live golf should lean into this. Lean into a battle,
lean into a dilemma, lean into something that keeps people
watching what you're doing and watching what's going on. You
got to lean into this, But instead it's like both
sides have decided we're gonna take the high road. Now. Yeah,
we had a couple of things being said, but now
we're here, when now okay, and everybody's watching, what's gonna happen.
(09:54):
I want to see fingers in people's faces, and I
want to see someone walk up to Sergio Garcia and
say something. And I want to see Freddie Couples, you
know what was chasing Phil Michelson around with his nine iron,
and there was none of that today. It was just
let's back off, let's back off, let's back off. In fact,
here's Sergio Garcia what he's asked about live golf and
what's going on and is is are they going to
continue to play? And then there's all kinds of legality
(10:16):
things happening, and Sergio Garcia wanted no part of what
was happening. How normal did it feel coming back here
I'm playing and just comes training your game? Totally normal? Guys.
You guys need to stop it. I mean, you guys
are making a big deal out of these and it's
you guys, Yes it is. I mean I've had nothing
but great things from every single player that I've talked to,
(10:37):
So just please stop it and just talk about the masters.
And you know, I think actually defense, I think actually
was thinking it's just you haven't had as many reps
that sometimes you normally would. How did you feel coming
playing this golf course? Because no, I don't think amend that,
but I did. I did play one, two, three, four,
I played five tournaments coming in here, so it's pretty good.
(11:00):
So no, no, no, no, no, that's not what you meant.
That's my saw in your eyes and you sneered at
me and you wouldn't even look me in the eye
when you ask that question because you were scared. Let's
back a, let's be no, let's just talk about masters. No,
that's not what you should do, because right now, the
PGA Tour and the Live Golf are battling with each
(11:20):
other for relevancy, for purses, for eyeballs, for everything, and
this is something where both sides need to realize, Hey,
this is kind of good for the sport because we're
talking golf and shows on TV and radio and they
talk about golf when when stuff is going on, because
Rory McElroy is making headlines when he's talking about the
Live Tour and Greg Norman's making headlines, and there's gifts
(11:43):
and all kinds of memes that are out here with
Greg Norman looking upset over people's shoulders and they just
want to back away from this. I'm going, yeah, I
get it. I get a golf being a gentleman's sport.
I completely understand it. But you're looking for something that
what's going to keep eyeballs on you, what's going to
keep interest up? You need to play. You need to
embrace this and and and tell your golfers, Hey, say
(12:04):
whatever the hell you want to say. It doesn't matter.
Say whatever the hell you want to say. However you feel.
If you're mad at the live gut, go ahead, say
what you want to say about him, and I'd say
the same thing the live golfers. You're mad, then everybody
hates you and you're going and you're chasing. Hey, you
say whatever you want to say, because this is something
that needs that that needs to continue to be fostered.
Because feuds work. Right. I hate to say that we're
(12:25):
getting down to a bit of a you know, getting
down to an elemental aspect, but hey, big feuds work.
We pay attention to feuds in sports. Right. Nobody knows
who the hell Dylan Brooks is, but when he trends
on Twitter, because I mean Clay Thompson or somebody else
gets mad about stuff. Hey, this works. Feuds work, and
if it's back and forth and stuff, that keeps people's
tongues wagon. And like I said, Freddie, couple's just blistering
Phil Mickelson and search Jo guarth Sea's saying, if you
(12:47):
want to pay Phil Michelson a hundred million dollars to
shoot seventy four, hey, knock yourself out. That's hilarious, Right,
that's hilarious, good stuff. Absolutely need to lean into this
and not walk away from it because if you because
right now, interest level of the masters, we get what
did I get after one day? Well, Tiger Woods is
just okay? And you know, a couple of guys at
the top of the leaderboard and yeah, did anybody say
(13:08):
anything of it? No? Okay, And it's going to be
that kind of masters. It's not when it could be
a master's at Hey, we're talking about two different ideals
about golf and about life, and they're together for the
first time, all of them, since we've really had time
to sit back and think about it. I mean, you
need to embrace this a little bit. Again. It's weird
that I'm saying, Hey, but I'm just talking about this
(13:29):
back and forth in this feud and this Hey, this
is why we think we're right and why why we
want our tour to live. And this is why we
want our tour to live. But when you back off
and it's like, this is like the biggest thing that
golf has going for it. I mean, we had we
had Kepkin Deschambaut for like, you know, a good year
and a half and then and then poom, we segued
into this and now I feel like, oh, they're doing
their best to make it go away, and I'm like,
(13:50):
I don't know what it needs to go away. I
think you try to lean into the heat. We've talked
a lot about this week about Reese and Caitlin Clark
and everything going on NC Double Women's Tournament. We can't
get a ton of coming off the men's tournament. Not
a lot of heat, great effort, great victories from Yukon,
and a spectacular effort on Monday night, but there's not
(14:12):
a lot of staying power going into the week. No,
the aos, John Cena, you can't see me, and white
House invitations extended rejected and everything else and nil deals
and all that that wins the day. It's controversial, it
gets tongues. Wagon. Sure, it's got a dirty underbelly of
it because some of it gets into our deep rooted
(14:35):
division when it comes to race and those type of discussions.
But they are discussions that need to be had, that
should be had. And folks, I can't tell you how
to feel right here. It's it's golf, and you decide
which side you line up on. You might as well
do your best shoot interview and try to hype up
your spot. Tiger Woods is tied for fifty fourth, he's
(14:57):
plus two. If you're a golf fan, then yeah, Hovland
and Rom and Kepka up top. That excites you, casual fan.
He ain't around on Saturday or Sunday, and that's and
that's fine in general. But you're trying to jump off
with your biggest tournament. You're trying to get people fired
up for the Masters and the tradition and Jim Nance
(15:19):
and everything else going on. So yeah, I wish guys
would lean in a little bit instead of because because
here's Sergioey he not only just bet, he didn't just
back away with it. He tried to swat at the reporter. No,
that's not what you meant you didn't need to do
that right, Either embrace the villainy or then you have
to let it go by if you're not going to
(15:40):
address it and cast dispersions on the reporters because they're
still asking. And even if all the other golfers are
walking around on tour and their civil ish we we
know what's underlying underneath. There's still a lot of rivalry,
a lot of angst, and for the outside world, we
just want more more information of what's going on, and
(16:02):
you can't just keep it buried. Right. It's a very
real divide in the golf world, whether you want to
acknowledge it or not. It's the old you're in office politics.
You just have to decide whether you're playing the game
or not. Twitter at how about a fresco Mike gets
swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. At the end of your first year, Discover
credit cards automatically double all the cash back you've earned.
(16:24):

gotta understand, you gotta recognize an opportunity and it's there, Sell, Sell, Sell,
where the hell's beats missed opportunity? Coming up next, we
have a big story out of the NFL. The Jets
(16:46):
have officially acquired a former Packers quarterback. I'm so excited.
Whoa we got a more next right here, Jason and
Mike Fox. 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
iHeart Radio app Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show
(17:07):
with my bast friend Mike Harman tell Alan that the
Mets suck. We were rained out today. We did not
play today. Okay, the whole East Coast waiting for rain.
We didn't play. I didn't play today. I did my
normal spot in Baltimore. I go, how's the eighty degree attempts?
And they just started laughing because they're the home of
(17:28):
the Orioles. So like, we're not We're not about to
go down the road. You're taken. Mike's like, I'm gonna
go there anyway. Can't fire me. So again, big game
in the NBA. Again, we have to talk MVP because
the Nuggets are losing to the Suns right now eighteen fifteen,
Nicola Yoki's not playing, so it's the MVP race over
(17:49):
can he not win because he's not playing tonight again
because he bailed out another game. Well, because that was
until about two weeks ago, he hadn't missed a game
and then all of a sudden he misses a couples
come on. Although he's actually injured and there's a question
of how severe. No, I don't know about that, but
I don't know he could be the MVP. I don't
know that he could be the MVP. Well, I mean
(18:10):
they're all just qualis out. He's so that means there's
only one man standing. Jalen Brunson R MVP. Yeah, Jalen
Brunson is your most valuable player. It's so exciting. It's
so exciting. Look, we'll have to go deeper into that,
because I mean we will. Suddenly, you know, you've got
a bandwagon that you've been building. Yeah, part of it
(18:32):
was based only in your well, your myopic view of
your team. But now so I've been driving that bandwagon
for a while. Now suddenly everybody's getting on my Jalen
Brunson MVP bandwagon. A plenty of room. Everybody fighting for
space on deck. There room, So again we'll have more
NBA on the way again. This game tonight a little
(18:55):
bit of lester loss without Yoki, but you know, Nuggets
and Sons, this would certainly be something if the Nuggets
can when you know, playing three players tonight, so it
would be a very big deal for them. Meanwhile, today
was a day the New York Jets obtained a now
former Green Bay Packers quarterback. The Jets get you guys,
(19:19):
got Brett Farve. No, too soon to have fun with
Brett Farve. You gotta gotta let that. You gotta read,
you gotta read the internet. Can't do it yet, You
can't do it yet? Read read the Internet. It's too
soon to have fun with Betka. Well, we can do
the Avenue que and tell you what the internet is for.
Can't can't Internet? Oh my bad, Matt Flynn. Now we
(19:43):
did Okay, Okay, who just went in your ear and said,
Matt Flinty, Okay, hey, Ricky, nice job, buddy. Ricky's Matt Flinn.
Matt Flinn, Matt Flint. Uh No. The New York Jets
now have dipped into the Packers for their quarterback? Is
(20:06):
it Man Hasselbeck? And they no, it is not Matt Hasselbeck,
who is firing up part take no. Uh, the New
York Jets they wanted a Packers quarterback. He's trapsing around.
She she areas in Los Angeles right now, buying crystals
at crystal stores. I don't know why buying crystal Hey, hey,
(20:26):
don't don't mock it. I don't have to understand it.
But you can't monitor what's he buying crystals for? Telling
me what's he buying crystals for. Maybe he's got he's
down in that and that level of into his spirituality,
and what do you do? So what do you do?
What do you do? I'm not claiming I have any
knowledge of it. You can't say it or not. Can't.
You can't sit here and say, hey, let's not have
(20:47):
fun for a second. I'm not even know what the
hell the crystals are used for. I'm just picturing something's
gonna be something with Marvel oriented right, like, hey, these
crystals are gonna be able to summon some kind of
power from outer speed. He's just doing all sorts of combination.
He bought like thirty different crystals and now he's putting
six together at a time, wondering if he's taking over
the universe and putting them it's like this gauntlet that
(21:08):
he had built for himself. Is that what you're saying
he wants to beat Thanos? These crystals will help us
defeat Ultron And then bring about thought that I mean,
why do you buy crow I don't know you buy
crystals for. I don't know why. I don't know why
I don't buy candles. I don't know what they're doing
that candle. Well, candles make a room a little bit warmer,
and they smell nice. I want I like the rooms
(21:28):
to smell nice. You know, you don't leave you never
let left the bathroom and lit a candle or lit
a match. Come on every now and again. Yeah, okay,
that's what happens. You gotta light a candle, Hey, light
a candle? All right? Yeah, you're that you're you're that
guy bet the leaves a bathroom and doesn't light a candle.
And not only that, you're the guy that leaves a
bathroom and doesn't squeegee the shower door and there's lime
(21:49):
stains on it. Oh there's the shower. You are that guy.
You are that guy. Hey, guarantee, But you know what,
a lot of people don't leave you a squeegee to
work with. I'm not going to dig it through your
stuff to find the squeegee. No, see is always there. No, no,
it's not true. Squeegee is always there, and it's always
very prominently displayed, so you can't miss it. That's not
(22:10):
on the coins, not on the ground, on the floor
in the shower. It's not sucking a corner behind like
four bottles of conditioner. No, no, no, The squeegee is
always very prominently displayed. So you could take that. You can't.
You can't walk get it out of the shower without
seeing the squeegee. There's no way celebrating people and they're
squeegees here on Fox Sports Radio. But the Jets make
the move of moves today and obtain now former Packers
(22:35):
quarterback and now Jets quarterback Tim Boil. Wait what, yes,
Tim Boil? Come on? The guy who was Aaron Rodgers
backup in Green Bay a couple of years ago, was
his backup when Nathaniel Hacket was there. So the Jets
went and now got there who was allegedly going to
(22:57):
be their number three quarterback. We're just we're making the
room ready for Aaron Rodgers. We're getting beating out Jack Wilson.
Now we're getting that. No, no, no, but he's third.
He'll beat out Chris Treveler. He's gonna be third. Don't
worry about now. We're getting the names of all the
legends him tonight. He will be third. No, bro, you
think you think they're signing him and not getting Aaron Rodgers.
Come on, man, it's like every day, how close can
(23:19):
the Jets get to the finish line without actually crossed?
I think it's just so close. Yeah, But here's the thing,
it's over tail. We've talked about this. You're do in
your math, and it's you're you're creeping towards zero, but
you're not there yet. We're getting it. I'm telling you.
It's like the half life of something you no matter
what you do, it's always gonna be a little bit there.
It's like, no matter what the Jets do, they're just
(23:41):
a little bit shy, of a little bit soft, No
little bit, none, a little bit shy. Like then in
the quantum realblem, a matter of how small aunt man gets,
he's never gonna disappear. He's just gonna get smaller and
smaller and smaller and smaller. But you're still not gonna disappear.
We're still not gonna cross the finish line. But look,
I'll be honest with you, Okay, I still feel like
(24:03):
every day is Aaron Rodgers Eve. It's having Aaron Rodgers
without actually having him. So it's the celebration that I'm
getting to have every single day knowing we're getting Aaron Rodger.
My friends who text me, is it gonna happen today?
Is it this? When's it gonna happen? Every day is
Aaron Rodgers Eve, and it's great. Man. Just pick picture
for you, like every day was Christmas Eve, or every
(24:23):
day was a holiday Eve or New Year's Eve. That's
what it's like that every day is Aaron Rodgers Eve
because it's going to happen. We're just waiting for the
final compensation back and forth. It's going to happen. But
not only that. I will tell you this, here's what
I will quadruple down on. I'm gonna do something, and
I'm gonna do it now. And usually this is something
that we don't do for a while. I don't do
(24:45):
for a while but I'm gonna tell you right now,
and I've never I don't I don't know the last
time I've done this. It's got to be at least
I don't know since I was probably like fifteen years
build that up. I'll tell you. We like to pick
the AFC and NFC Championship games, of course every year, right,
I'd like to do that because that's a fun thing.
Then we picked Super Bowl, We'd like to pick the
AC and NFC championship games. I will tell you right now,
(25:07):
the Jets are getting Aaron Rodgers, and the AFC Championship
Game is going to be the Jets and the Jaguars,
and I will officially, I will officially pick the Jets
for the Super Bowl the day Aaron Rodgers becomes a Jet.
In fact, I might as well do it right now
because it's going to happen. I've not done. I mean,
I'm thing since I was fifteen and going to high
(25:27):
school and friend friends will go, what about your Jets?
Shut up? Thank you, you suck Jet. You're gonna win
a Super Bowl this year, but kick your ass. Eddie.
Come on, man, you want to fight, Let's fight. Let's
fight about this. You think the Giants are so gonna
Giants suck, and then the Giants would go on when
the Super Bowl and Jets wouldn't. But come on, Jets
are going to the super Bowl. I'll tell you that
right now. They're going to the they get Aaron Rodgers,
They're going to the super Bowl. The Jaguars are phenomenal.
(25:50):
I told you how good they are, and the ascension
of Trevor Lawrence is fantastic. The Chiefs are terrific. The
Bengals are really really good. The Bills are they still
the Bills. We kind of have to see. The Jets
are complete. All they need is a quarterback. They're gonna
get Aaron Rodgers Jets in the Jaguars AFC Championship game.
Jets are going to the super Bowl. Not since I
was fifteen years old, but I'm telling you that Jets
(26:11):
are going to the super Bowl this year. I appreciate
your optimism enthusiasm on this point. I'm not going there
long way in between now and then until you beat
the man. He's still on top, and that's Andy Reid,
still crafty. But I'm looking in the East at another squad. Hey,
if two us can stay healthy, and I know we're
(26:31):
already doing the if this guy can stay healthy. I
like the squad they've assembled down there, and who knows,
Lamar Jackson might be quarterback in the Patriots to greatness.
I'm just kidding. I thought it would be fun to
throw that back out there for people to kind of
have their heads explode. But yeah, I like the bold proclamation.
Your Jaguars, you've jinxed them. So all our friends and Jackson,
(26:55):
just like all our friends in Seattle hate you, and
for your Jets, you can do your homework. Pick it's
gonna blow up in your face. So when they win
seven or eight games, it's not happening. Not happening. Maybe
when did when did suddenly Aaron Rodgers turn into someone
who we think he's Zach Wilson again? I mean, come on, man,
the guy's still in a bad year, will throw twenty
(27:17):
five touchdowns? All right? That's the Jets. If they had
twenty five touchdowns from their quarterback last year, they'd have
won the Super Bowl last year. Everybody's looking up going, wow,
look at that man, the Jets of the Super Bowl.
Who would have thought that was gonna happen? Uh No,
I'm sorry, just because Aaron Rodgers is going to a
team that everybody likes to make fun of. Doesn't mean
he's going to stink. And that's what everybody thinks is
(27:38):
gonna happen. If Aaron Rodgers was somehow gonna find his
way to the Patriots, it would be, Oh, the Patriots
are going to the super Bowl, Luke got Belichick with
Aaron Rodgers. Employ look at this, and Rodgers wants to
prove he's better than Brady, And oh, what a great
move is. Everybody respects him telling you no, but he's
going to the Jets. It's like making fun of the Jets.
So Aaron Rodgers stinks. No, that is ridiculous. That is
(28:01):
not fair, and it is incorrect, and it is ridiculous.
The Jets. You have to respect them. And the Jets
are going to this again, Aaron Rodgers, They're going to
the Super Bowl's happening. You got really chesty about that.
You really got in your fandom right there, that's what
you got in your fan feels. I gotta pick the
teams that I think are gonna be there, right, I
gotta pick the teams. And I've been right for the
(28:23):
past thirty some odd years. That the Jets haven't been
to the Super Bowl. So I've been right every single year,
every year, and how good or haven't I've been right? Well,
so now I'm gonna be right here. I love you.
Picking the South, it's a bunch of a mess behind
the Jaguars. Okay, so they rise up once again, Bengals.
There's some questions there as to how they they push forwards,
(28:45):
some some movement to come. You hate the Steelers, Ravens
in flux, and Cleveland's Cleveland, sorry tie shirt, so throw
them out. In the West, it's it's the Chiefs and
everybody else unless Denver suddenly has some massive breakthrough. Are
you banking that the Chargers suddenly? I haven't all figured out?
(29:06):
Hell no, Sorry Frostburg. He probably heard that like a
dog with He's off tonight. He's off tonight. He's probably
still screaming at his house going harmon, I hate you,
and the Raiders are the Raiders? So blank? Then? Uh?
And so when it comes down too and Buffalo Miami,
your Jets and the Jaguars, Jets, Jaguars, there's your AFC
(29:31):
Championship game, there's Jets, and the Jets will win because
Aaron Rodgers will win sixth sets. Jaguars. We're not even
into the draft yet, and I'm telling you the Jets
of the Jaguars are going to the AFC Championship Game.
We're not even in the draft yet. Do you might
as well go bet that now? Yeah? Tell you what.
Next week during my days off, maybe I'll drive to
the desert and see if I can get hot zone. Hey,
(29:53):
I want to bet Jets Jaguars. Who you'd be the
first guy? Are you? Jason Smith? Now in my carmon?
Oh that makes sense? Okay, Yeah, what do you want?
We got Here's the guy that will actually put money
down on What do you want? We got we got
it for you. What do we want? I don't know
if that depending on the odds game, I would lay
some Hey, it's TAFC in a in a year of flux,
a lot of change ahead. I don't know. It's kind
(30:15):
of fun. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm
Eastern seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harman live from the
tirerack dot Com Studios. Somebody's birthdays. Head of the show.
Is it somebody's birthdays? Trying to make sure right, We're good.
(30:36):
We're good, okay, very good. Middle of the second quarter
on TNT, Denver leads Phoenix. Then we're playing without Yokich,
without Murray, without dan Thistle, without fat Lever. Uh no, mellow,
They're playing without everybody tonight, and they find a way
to be on top of the Suns by a point.
We'll have more on this coming up in a few minutes,
(30:57):
but it was two nights ago where I ad this
Iowa being invited to the White House by doctor Jill
Biden was a ridiculously stupid controversy. This wasn't the same
was on the heels of the Angel Reese Caitlin Clark controversy,
which was a real thing. This whole thing is stupid,
and Angel Reese and others brought up, oh, are we
(31:18):
gonna go? Are we not gonna go? She does a
podcast and says we're gonna go to the Obama's instead,
and then says, oh, we didn't talk to doctor Jill
Biden before the championship game because Joe Biden picked somebody
else to win on a bracket. So I'm like, then,
why are you upset that Jill Biden wanted to talk
to Iowa. It got even stupider last night. Night said
the stupids. They're gonna continue. Now it looks like it's over.
(31:40):
Now it looks like it's over because the national champion
LSU women's basketball team will accept the invitation from President
Biden to finish the White House. University spokesman Michael Bennett
confirmed las u's intentions on the matter Thursday. Now, I
haven't been officially invited, so it's still intentions like Aaron
Rocks to side with the Jets, So the possibility of
(32:03):
this blowing up is still. Yeah, that's good. I mean,
I know as a as a group, they went and
they they earned some cash and spread some love like
has become a thing in doing a shift at raising
canes together. That was part of the post championship celebration.
But now but now it looks like this is over.
(32:24):
Now it's unknown if everybody's going to go. Is Angel
Reese going to go, which she not, but LSU will go.
Head coach Kim Mulke said right after the game. If
we're invited, we're going. We're going to the White House. Um.
And so now that this at least has solved itself
and at least the ridiculously stupid drama is gone. Now
we still get to talk about Caitlin Clark and trash
(32:47):
talking and everything going on with Angel Reese, which is
a bigger deal, but at least this part of it
is done. And I feel like now the you know
and and I don't, And again, I don't know what
the real motivation was in this becoming a big deal.
Right Like, we're Angel Reese and LSU really mad that
Joe Biden didn't pick them in a national championship bracket
(33:09):
because right right away she came out by saying, Obama
is my president. We're gonna go to their house first
of all, Okay, Obama's not going to do that to
Joe Biden. Oh yeah, yeah, sorry. I gotta have Lsu.
I know this is gonna kill you politically and make
you look really bad, and I know you're my former VP,
but I gotta have it with the White House. So
that's not gonna happen. But the fact that now going
(33:29):
to the White House has now become and we've seen
people decline, and I don't want to go in the past,
you disagree with the politics or the president, or you
don't want to go forever, Heason. It's become that. But
now it's like every time somebody wins, that's the story.
Like it's gone from oh hey, here's a story that
well after they win a championship team gets invited to
(33:51):
the White House and somebody says they're not going. This
is now like right after the game is over, we're
not going to the White House. So we're gonna go
to the white House? Here, I don't know if we're
going to the white House. It's becomeing, hey, congratulations on
when you go to the White House? Are you going?
Like that's become that's become like these congratulations on winning.
Are you going to the White House? That's become like
that's become like the big lightning rod now of are
(34:11):
you going? Are you not going? Is everybody going? Is
the entire team going? Is nobody going? Well, at one
point it was you're going you support the office, what
it means, what it constitutes, and everything else, regardless of
the person in the suit. And then that's changed, right,
We've we've had that over the last decade plus where
that's not the same circumstances. Let's face it, if you're
(34:35):
a multi visitor, it's kind of like going to the
Pro Bowl. I don't need to go. I went, I
went three years ago, or things of that nature. But
it also in this climate, everything becomes a political statement,
even if it's really not. It's a all right, I
had a family gathering schedules where the team wants to
go and that was the only window they had available.
(34:58):
Or I'm having surgery or parent having surgery. I mean,
there's a million things that can keep you from going.
But if you don't, suddenly everybody wants to read into motivations,
even if you haven't ever publicly aired out any type
of political lean. It's really just that strange space we
acted by in twenty twenty three, Twitter at how about
(35:20):
a fresca? Mike, It's swollen down. The Jason Smith Show

have a big question, Mike Harman. I have a really
big question to start the show with tonight, very very big, ques,
very very big question. Isn't have anything to do with
which of our team's lost today? No, no, no, that's
not that. No, No, that's just me. Yeah no that's you. No, no,
m A lot of runs these days, yeah no, how
many hits you give up today? Like thirty five? That's
(01:09):
a lot. Yeah, we count a lot. It's a veritable
gas how gas house guerrillas kind of situation going, what
do you lose? Like twenty to six today? Was that
the fun? Always sixteen? But sixteen? Okay, all right, okay,
just wanted to make sure, okay, thank yeah, and uh yeah,
how many? How many? Oh twenty hits? Wow? Wow, you
gave up twenty Oh yeah, no, it's not it's not good.
(01:30):
O my goodness. Oh. Already a lot of hand ringing
going on in the Great City of Chicago, and like clockwork,
Elloy Himenez already on the DL. No, man, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. Injured list Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't want
to get that wrong, So I don't infuriate anybody off
the camp here. Yeah, I know, but I have a
(01:50):
very big question. Okay, but this goes into the one
of the big discussions that's been going on the last
few days when it comes to NBA MV Okay, let's
get about okay now Tonight in the NBA SUKT, a
couple of big games going on Oklahoma City in Utah
big one. We got Denver and Phoenix just about the tip,
which is gonna be an awesome game. This could be
(02:11):
in Western Conference Finals preview, but now I want to
I want to get to MP cause the Sixers played tonight, Yeah,
and Joel Embiid only scored twenty one points slacker and
the Sixers lost by twenty eight. So it was the
MVP race over again. And now he can't win because
he was bad tonight he only had twenty one. But
(02:32):
I mean it was over the other night when he
had fifty, it was over. But the nights when he's
not that great and they lose by twenty eight, I mean,
does not have to eliminate him, right He could win
it the other night, but now he's eliminated from winning
it right now. Yeah, I mean, we really rock back
and forth on a very large pendulum and you're just
hoping to hold on. It's kind of like when Jack
Sparrow and they had that giant ball of twine where
(02:54):
they were trying to get out as like and then
it was like a Family Guy episode where they just
trying to steal five minutes of film because they had
nothing else to say. How long can we make this
bit go on? Sure? And so that that's it and
that's what we're riding with this Joel embiid MVP candidacy,
which I think he's just qualified automatically by begging for it. Well,
(03:16):
I mean he'd have to be disqualified for the last
three years. Every couple of days, it's I Why am
I not the MVP? Why am I not the MV?
Why would not the word? I'll print out a plaque. Hell,
I'll get you a replica championship belt if that's gonna
make you feel better. If God man, if you hooked
him up to a lie detector, I guarantee you wing
up to a lie detector, and said Joel, I can
(03:38):
wave a magic wand, and I can guarantee you one
of two things. Okay, sounds like a Disney villain coming.
I can give you one of two things. Yes, suddenly
on the shout of the devil, I don't know what's
on the other. I'm Gaston, I got you. I can
do it. I can give you one of two things.
I can give you a unanimous MVP you will win
unanimous ye, yes, unanimous MVP award unanimous. Or or I
(04:07):
can give you an NBA championship. What do you pick?
And he wouldn't take more than one second before he
said MVP, give me the unanimous MVP. Give me. He
talks about the doesn't talk about Whinny Championship, talks about
winning the MP and yes, I get it, lots of
players want to win the MVP. Of course they do.
Of course, when you're really, really good, it's a big
heart desire for you. But just like people, just like stars, learn,
(04:31):
there's things you really want to do that you keep
to yourself, and there's things that you can say out loud.
But when he continues to be overly so about it,
he's the only guy that talks more about the Nobody
else talks about the MVP like Joel Embat and his
teammates do, and doc, Yeah, I'm the m on the
m I don't know why I'm not the MVP. I'm
the MVP. I'm the MVP. I'm the MVP. All that
(04:51):
he is obsessed with being the MVP, and he's one
of those guys that every day but looks at his stats,
looks at what people did the night before and go, oh,
I should win the MVP. I really be my MVP
tracker and the Joelle Embat in my house on my
laptop MVP tracker. I'm the MVP. I don't know why
I'm not the MVP. I'm gonna have a fake ceremony
at the end of the year. Don't give myself the
(05:12):
MVP if I don't get it, and I'll invite some
players around the league to come in. Hey be here,
because I'm the real MVP. So I'm gonna have my
own ceremony and I'm going to crown myself the MVP,
because obviously, if the voters don't give it to me,
I gotta give it to myself. Well, you know, he's
a big WWE fan, and in the past he's done
the degeneration X crotch chop, for which he was fined,
(05:33):
so he'll move on to something else. And at this
point he's really just crying and begging for the undisputed
heavyweight champion to just give him the microphone and yell,
acknowledge me. Dad. He just wants everybody to just say,
you know what, I can't help what Harden does. I
can't help that Doc can't coach uside of a playoff round.
(05:55):
But I'm dominant. I'm the man. See, I'd like to
hear that though it's not my fault, DOC can't coach
in the playoffs. What do you want from me? I
mean I cut you, I cut you the chase. I
mean these words and opinions express may not exactly be
those held by Joel I'm need, but I'm projecting here.
I'm projecting from my perch here at Fox Sports Radio
(06:17):
as they get drum one twenty nine one oh one
my heat once again, I'm jumping on I'm jumping on
that wagon again, them and the Kings. Let's go see.
I'll tell you, I'm sorry. I don't know what to do,
but you gave me Doc Rivers. This is way. If
that's why I'm not winning MVP, I completely understand. But
he's trying to be a good hype man for him.
(06:38):
You gotta give for that. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
He knows it's all going down in flames in the playoffs.
Oh he's getting ahead of it right now. That's my guy.
Oh he's the best going today. So I see what
you're doing. So because he knows, Hey, listen, something's gonna happen.
I'm gonna screw up in the playoffs and we're not
gonna win. So let me at least get on board
with Joel being the MVP some hundred percent. Okay, I'm
(07:02):
I'm with you. It's a let's talk this up to
high heavens and just tell everybody how great he is,
because that way, when it goes bad, can't blame Doc,
can't blame Doc. You know, listen, in about a month,
you're gonna be blaming me for everything. So let me
get this out now. Joel's the MVP and less if
you disagree with me and a month, everybody's gonna hate me,
it's gonna be my fault, and I'm just gonna blame
(07:22):
Ben Simmons. So right now, I'll get all the good
publicity and you guys can let me go. So who's
got the MVP? Questions? I got him right now? What
do you want to know? Harden should be second, Yes,
it should be Joel, it should be Hardened, and then
it should be Iverson. That's that's how you go. And
then and then of course KG and Perkins and Ray Allen,
my big group from Boston that never lost even though
we traded everybody away because we couldn't win with him.
(07:44):
So yeah, so I'm sorry, did I go? Did I
getting too far ahead of myself? Ask your next question?
I like that. Yeah, residual, doc effect and residual Ben Simmons,
what's left there? Doc? Twitter and out about a fresca.
Mike gets swollen down the Jason smithsho Mike Harmon again.
Huge game in the NBA going on right now, Denver
and Phoenix early in the first quarter. Denver's up by
(08:06):
a point six five. Will keep you posted on this one. Meanwhile,
today was day one of the Masters. Yeah, and you know,
today was a day of what I like to call
missed opportunities when you are the PGA Tour and you
don't understand that while this has been very difficult, you
have been given a gift because what's been the topic
(08:29):
for the last ten years? How do we move on
past the Tiger Woods era? How do we do it right?
I don't know how Tiger's not really winning when he's
in tournaments. Great, people watch, it's great. How do we
move on? We don't know. And then the Live Tour
shows up and they start taking some great golfers and
then suddenly, wait, golf is getting a lot of headlines
and people are up to people are paying attention to golf.
People are mad at the guys who were leaving in
(08:50):
the PGA Tour is saying, well, hey, they want to
come back and play. They got to do certain things,
and it's a big back and forth. We're getting a
lot of relevancy and here's a PGA Tour and their
ratings are up a little bit and there purses are
up a little bit with players leaving eye And this
was gonna be where you just stoked that fire and
everything just came out of a cauldron a flame. This
(09:12):
was day one of the Masters where the PGA Tour
golfers and the live golfers had to live together after
Freddie Couples was lighting Phil Mickelson on fire and Sergio
Garcia on fire, and the live tour is nervous because
no one's watching and they're wondering how long are we
gonna be around. This was something you should have leaned into,
(09:32):
and live golf should lean into this. Lean into a battle,
lean into a dilemma, lean into something that keeps people
watching what you're doing and watching what's going on. You
got to lean into this, But instead it's like both
sides have decided we're gonna take the high road. Now. Yeah,
we had a couple of things being said, but now
we're here, when now okay, and everybody's watching, what's gonna happen.
(09:54):
I want to see fingers in people's faces, and I
want to see someone walk up to Sergio Garcia and
say something. And I want to see Freddie Couples, you
know what was chasing Phil Michelson around with his nine iron,
and there was none of that today. It was just
let's back off, let's back off, let's back off. In fact,
here's Sergio Garcia what he's asked about live golf and
what's going on and is is are they going to
continue to play? And then there's all kinds of legality
(10:16):
things happening, and Sergio Garcia wanted no part of what
was happening. How normal did it feel coming back here
I'm playing and just comes training your game? Totally normal? Guys.
You guys need to stop it. I mean, you guys
are making a big deal out of these and it's
you guys, Yes it is. I mean I've had nothing
but great things from every single player that I've talked to,
(10:37):
So just please stop it and just talk about the masters.
And you know, I think actually defense, I think actually
was thinking it's just you haven't had as many reps
that sometimes you normally would. How did you feel coming
playing this golf course? Because no, I don't think amend that,
but I did. I did play one, two, three, four,
I played five tournaments coming in here, so it's pretty good.
(11:00):
So no, no, no, no, no, that's not what you meant.
That's my saw in your eyes and you sneered at
me and you wouldn't even look me in the eye
when you ask that question because you were scared. Let's
back a, let's be no, let's just talk about masters. No,
that's not what you should do, because right now, the
PGA Tour and the Live Golf are battling with each
(11:20):
other for relevancy, for purses, for eyeballs, for everything, and
this is something where both sides need to realize, Hey,
this is kind of good for the sport because we're
talking golf and shows on TV and radio and they
talk about golf when when stuff is going on, because
Rory McElroy is making headlines when he's talking about the
Live Tour and Greg Norman's making headlines, and there's gifts
(11:43):
and all kinds of memes that are out here with
Greg Norman looking upset over people's shoulders and they just
want to back away from this. I'm going, yeah, I
get it. I get a golf being a gentleman's sport.
I completely understand it. But you're looking for something that
what's going to keep eyeballs on you, what's going to
keep interest up? You need to play. You need to
embrace this and and and tell your golfers, Hey, say
(12:04):
whatever the hell you want to say. It doesn't matter.
Say whatever the hell you want to say. However you feel.
If you're mad at the live gut, go ahead, say
what you want to say about him, and I'd say
the same thing the live golfers. You're mad, then everybody
hates you and you're going and you're chasing. Hey, you
say whatever you want to say, because this is something
that needs that that needs to continue to be fostered.
Because feuds work. Right. I hate to say that we're
(12:25):
getting down to a bit of a you know, getting
down to an elemental aspect, but hey, big feuds work.
We pay attention to feuds in sports. Right. Nobody knows
who the hell Dylan Brooks is, but when he trends
on Twitter, because I mean Clay Thompson or somebody else
gets mad about stuff. Hey, this works. Feuds work, and
if it's back and forth and stuff, that keeps people's
tongues wagon. And like I said, Freddie, couple's just blistering
Phil Mickelson and search Jo guarth Sea's saying, if you
(12:47):
want to pay Phil Michelson a hundred million dollars to
shoot seventy four, hey, knock yourself out. That's hilarious, Right,
that's hilarious, good stuff. Absolutely need to lean into this
and not walk away from it because if you because
right now, interest level of the masters, we get what
did I get after one day? Well, Tiger Woods is
just okay? And you know, a couple of guys at
the top of the leaderboard and yeah, did anybody say
(13:08):
anything of it? No? Okay, And it's going to be
that kind of masters. It's not when it could be
a master's at Hey, we're talking about two different ideals
about golf and about life, and they're together for the
first time, all of them, since we've really had time
to sit back and think about it. I mean, you
need to embrace this a little bit. Again. It's weird
that I'm saying, Hey, but I'm just talking about this
(13:29):
back and forth in this feud and this Hey, this
is why we think we're right and why why we
want our tour to live. And this is why we
want our tour to live. But when you back off
and it's like, this is like the biggest thing that
golf has going for it. I mean, we had we
had Kepkin Deschambaut for like, you know, a good year
and a half and then and then poom, we segued
into this and now I feel like, oh, they're doing
their best to make it go away, and I'm like,
(13:50):
I don't know what it needs to go away. I
think you try to lean into the heat. We've talked
a lot about this week about Reese and Caitlin Clark
and everything going on NC Double Women's Tournament. We can't
get a ton of coming off the men's tournament. Not
a lot of heat, great effort, great victories from Yukon,
and a spectacular effort on Monday night, but there's not
(14:12):
a lot of staying power going into the week. No,
the aos, John Cena, you can't see me, and white
House invitations extended rejected and everything else and nil deals
and all that that wins the day. It's controversial, it
gets tongues. Wagon. Sure, it's got a dirty underbelly of
it because some of it gets into our deep rooted
(14:35):
division when it comes to race and those type of discussions.
But they are discussions that need to be had, that
should be had. And folks, I can't tell you how
to feel right here. It's it's golf, and you decide
which side you line up on. You might as well
do your best shoot interview and try to hype up
your spot. Tiger Woods is tied for fifty fourth, he's
(14:57):
plus two. If you're a golf fan, then yeah, Hovland
and Rom and Kepka up top. That excites you, casual fan.
He ain't around on Saturday or Sunday, and that's and
that's fine in general. But you're trying to jump off
with your biggest tournament. You're trying to get people fired
up for the Masters and the tradition and Jim Nance
(15:19):
and everything else going on. So yeah, I wish guys
would lean in a little bit instead of because because
here's Sergioey he not only just bet, he didn't just
back away with it. He tried to swat at the reporter. No,
that's not what you meant you didn't need to do
that right, Either embrace the villainy or then you have
to let it go by if you're not going to
(15:40):
address it and cast dispersions on the reporters because they're
still asking. And even if all the other golfers are
walking around on tour and their civil ish we we
know what's underlying underneath. There's still a lot of rivalry,
a lot of angst, and for the outside world, we
just want more more information of what's going on, and
(16:02):
you can't just keep it buried. Right. It's a very
real divide in the golf world, whether you want to
acknowledge it or not. It's the old you're in office politics.
You just have to decide whether you're playing the game
or not. Twitter at how about a fresco Mike gets
swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. At the end of your first year, Discover
credit cards automatically double all the cash back you've earned.

gotta understand, you gotta recognize an opportunity and it's there, Sell, Sell, Sell,
where the hell's beats missed opportunity? Coming up next, we
have a big story out of the NFL. The Jets
(16:46):
have officially acquired a former Packers quarterback. I'm so excited.
Whoa we got a more next right here, Jason and
Mike Fox. 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
iHeart Radio app Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show
(17:07):
with my bast friend Mike Harman tell Alan that the
Mets suck. We were rained out today. We did not
play today. Okay, the whole East Coast waiting for rain.
We didn't play. I didn't play today. I did my
normal spot in Baltimore. I go, how's the eighty degree attempts?
And they just started laughing because they're the home of
(17:28):
the Orioles. So like, we're not We're not about to
go down the road. You're taken. Mike's like, I'm gonna
go there anyway. Can't fire me. So again, big game
in the NBA. Again, we have to talk MVP because
the Nuggets are losing to the Suns right now eighteen fifteen,
Nicola Yoki's not playing, so it's the MVP race over
(17:49):
can he not win because he's not playing tonight again
because he bailed out another game. Well, because that was
until about two weeks ago, he hadn't missed a game
and then all of a sudden he misses a couples
come on. Although he's actually injured and there's a question
of how severe. No, I don't know about that, but
I don't know he could be the MVP. I don't
know that he could be the MVP. Well, I mean
(18:10):
they're all just qualis out. He's so that means there's
only one man standing. Jalen Brunson R MVP. Yeah, Jalen
Brunson is your most valuable player. It's so exciting. It's
so exciting. Look, we'll have to go deeper into that,
because I mean we will. Suddenly, you know, you've got
a bandwagon that you've been building. Yeah, part of it
(18:32):
was based only in your well, your myopic view of
your team. But now so I've been driving that bandwagon
for a while. Now suddenly everybody's getting on my Jalen
Brunson MVP bandwagon. A plenty of room. Everybody fighting for
space on deck. There room, So again we'll have more
NBA on the way again. This game tonight a little
(18:55):
bit of lester loss without Yoki, but you know, Nuggets
and Sons, this would certainly be something if the Nuggets
can when you know, playing three players tonight, so it
would be a very big deal for them. Meanwhile, today
was a day the New York Jets obtained a now
former Green Bay Packers quarterback. The Jets get you guys,
(19:19):
got Brett Farve. No, too soon to have fun with
Brett Farve. You gotta gotta let that. You gotta read,
you gotta read the internet. Can't do it yet, You
can't do it yet? Read read the Internet. It's too
soon to have fun with Betka. Well, we can do
the Avenue que and tell you what the internet is for.
Can't can't Internet? Oh my bad, Matt Flynn. Now we
(19:43):
did Okay, Okay, who just went in your ear and said,
Matt Flinty, Okay, hey, Ricky, nice job, buddy. Ricky's Matt Flinn.
Matt Flinn, Matt Flint. Uh No. The New York Jets
now have dipped into the Packers for their quarterback? Is
(20:06):
it Man Hasselbeck? And they no, it is not Matt Hasselbeck,
who is firing up part take no. Uh, the New
York Jets they wanted a Packers quarterback. He's trapsing around.
She she areas in Los Angeles right now, buying crystals
at crystal stores. I don't know why buying crystal Hey, hey,
(20:26):
don't don't mock it. I don't have to understand it.
But you can't monitor what's he buying crystals for? Telling
me what's he buying crystals for. Maybe he's got he's
down in that and that level of into his spirituality,
and what do you do? So what do you do?
What do you do? I'm not claiming I have any
knowledge of it. You can't say it or not. Can't.
You can't sit here and say, hey, let's not have
(20:47):
fun for a second. I'm not even know what the
hell the crystals are used for. I'm just picturing something's
gonna be something with Marvel oriented right, like, hey, these
crystals are gonna be able to summon some kind of
power from outer speed. He's just doing all sorts of combination.
He bought like thirty different crystals and now he's putting
six together at a time, wondering if he's taking over
the universe and putting them it's like this gauntlet that
(21:08):
he had built for himself. Is that what you're saying
he wants to beat Thanos? These crystals will help us
defeat Ultron And then bring about thought that I mean,
why do you buy crow I don't know you buy
crystals for. I don't know why. I don't know why
I don't buy candles. I don't know what they're doing
that candle. Well, candles make a room a little bit warmer,
and they smell nice. I want I like the rooms
(21:28):
to smell nice. You know, you don't leave you never
let left the bathroom and lit a candle or lit
a match. Come on every now and again. Yeah, okay,
that's what happens. You gotta light a candle, Hey, light
a candle? All right? Yeah, you're that you're you're that
guy bet the leaves a bathroom and doesn't light a candle.
And not only that, you're the guy that leaves a
bathroom and doesn't squeegee the shower door and there's lime
(21:49):
stains on it. Oh there's the shower. You are that guy.
You are that guy. Hey, guarantee, But you know what,
a lot of people don't leave you a squeegee to
work with. I'm not going to dig it through your
stuff to find the squeegee. No, see is always there. No, no,
it's not true. Squeegee is always there, and it's always
very prominently displayed, so you can't miss it. That's not
(22:10):
on the coins, not on the ground, on the floor
in the shower. It's not sucking a corner behind like
four bottles of conditioner. No, no, no, The squeegee is
always very prominently displayed. So you could take that. You can't.
You can't walk get it out of the shower without
seeing the squeegee. There's no way celebrating people and they're
squeegees here on Fox Sports Radio. But the Jets make
the move of moves today and obtain now former Packers
(22:35):
quarterback and now Jets quarterback Tim Boil. Wait what, yes,
Tim Boil? Come on? The guy who was Aaron Rodgers
backup in Green Bay a couple of years ago, was
his backup when Nathaniel Hacket was there. So the Jets
went and now got there who was allegedly going to
(22:57):
be their number three quarterback. We're just we're making the
room ready for Aaron Rodgers. We're getting beating out Jack Wilson.
Now we're getting that. No, no, no, but he's third.
He'll beat out Chris Treveler. He's gonna be third. Don't
worry about now. We're getting the names of all the
legends him tonight. He will be third. No, bro, you
think you think they're signing him and not getting Aaron Rodgers.
Come on, man, it's like every day, how close can
(23:19):
the Jets get to the finish line without actually crossed?
I think it's just so close. Yeah, But here's the thing,
it's over tail. We've talked about this. You're do in
your math, and it's you're you're creeping towards zero, but
you're not there yet. We're getting it. I'm telling you.
It's like the half life of something you no matter
what you do, it's always gonna be a little bit there.
It's like, no matter what the Jets do, they're just
(23:41):
a little bit shy, of a little bit soft, No
little bit, none, a little bit shy. Like then in
the quantum realblem, a matter of how small aunt man gets,
he's never gonna disappear. He's just gonna get smaller and
smaller and smaller and smaller. But you're still not gonna disappear.
We're still not gonna cross the finish line. But look,
I'll be honest with you, Okay, I still feel like
(24:03):
every day is Aaron Rodgers Eve. It's having Aaron Rodgers
without actually having him. So it's the celebration that I'm
getting to have every single day knowing we're getting Aaron Rodger.
My friends who text me, is it gonna happen today?
Is it this? When's it gonna happen? Every day is
Aaron Rodgers Eve, and it's great. Man. Just pick picture
for you, like every day was Christmas Eve, or every
(24:23):
day was a holiday Eve or New Year's Eve. That's
what it's like that every day is Aaron Rodgers Eve
because it's going to happen. We're just waiting for the
final compensation back and forth. It's going to happen. But
not only that. I will tell you this, here's what
I will quadruple down on. I'm gonna do something, and
I'm gonna do it now. And usually this is something
that we don't do for a while. I don't do
(24:45):
for a while but I'm gonna tell you right now,
and I've never I don't I don't know the last
time I've done this. It's got to be at least
I don't know since I was probably like fifteen years
build that up. I'll tell you. We like to pick
the AFC and NFC Championship games, of course every year, right,
I'd like to do that because that's a fun thing.
Then we picked Super Bowl, We'd like to pick the
AC and NFC championship games. I will tell you right now,
(25:07):
the Jets are getting Aaron Rodgers, and the AFC Championship
Game is going to be the Jets and the Jaguars,
and I will officially, I will officially pick the Jets
for the Super Bowl the day Aaron Rodgers becomes a Jet.
In fact, I might as well do it right now
because it's going to happen. I've not done. I mean,
I'm thing since I was fifteen and going to high
(25:27):
school and friend friends will go, what about your Jets?
Shut up? Thank you, you suck Jet. You're gonna win
a Super Bowl this year, but kick your ass. Eddie.
Come on, man, you want to fight, Let's fight. Let's
fight about this. You think the Giants are so gonna
Giants suck, and then the Giants would go on when
the Super Bowl and Jets wouldn't. But come on, Jets
are going to the super Bowl. I'll tell you that
right now. They're going to the they get Aaron Rodgers,
They're going to the super Bowl. The Jaguars are phenomenal.
(25:50):
I told you how good they are, and the ascension
of Trevor Lawrence is fantastic. The Chiefs are terrific. The
Bengals are really really good. The Bills are they still
the Bills. We kind of have to see. The Jets
are complete. All they need is a quarterback. They're gonna
get Aaron Rodgers Jets in the Jaguars AFC Championship game.
Jets are going to the super Bowl. Not since I
was fifteen years old, but I'm telling you that Jets
(26:11):
are going to the super Bowl this year. I appreciate
your optimism enthusiasm on this point. I'm not going there
long way in between now and then until you beat
the man. He's still on top, and that's Andy Reid,
still crafty. But I'm looking in the East at another squad. Hey,
if two us can stay healthy, and I know we're
(26:31):
already doing the if this guy can stay healthy. I
like the squad they've assembled down there, and who knows,
Lamar Jackson might be quarterback in the Patriots to greatness.
I'm just kidding. I thought it would be fun to
throw that back out there for people to kind of
have their heads explode. But yeah, I like the bold proclamation.
Your Jaguars, you've jinxed them. So all our friends and Jackson,
(26:55):
just like all our friends in Seattle hate you, and
for your Jets, you can do your homework. Pick it's
gonna blow up in your face. So when they win
seven or eight games, it's not happening. Not happening. Maybe
when did when did suddenly Aaron Rodgers turn into someone
who we think he's Zach Wilson again? I mean, come on, man,
the guy's still in a bad year, will throw twenty
(27:17):
five touchdowns? All right? That's the Jets. If they had
twenty five touchdowns from their quarterback last year, they'd have
won the Super Bowl last year. Everybody's looking up going, wow,
look at that man, the Jets of the Super Bowl.
Who would have thought that was gonna happen? Uh No,
I'm sorry, just because Aaron Rodgers is going to a
team that everybody likes to make fun of. Doesn't mean
he's going to stink. And that's what everybody thinks is
(27:38):
gonna happen. If Aaron Rodgers was somehow gonna find his
way to the Patriots, it would be, Oh, the Patriots
are going to the super Bowl, Luke got Belichick with
Aaron Rodgers. Employ look at this, and Rodgers wants to
prove he's better than Brady, And oh, what a great
move is. Everybody respects him telling you no, but he's
going to the Jets. It's like making fun of the Jets.
So Aaron Rodgers stinks. No, that is ridiculous. That is
(28:01):
not fair, and it is incorrect, and it is ridiculous.
The Jets. You have to respect them. And the Jets
are going to this again, Aaron Rodgers, They're going to
the Super Bowl's happening. You got really chesty about that.
You really got in your fandom right there, that's what
you got in your fan feels. I gotta pick the
teams that I think are gonna be there, right, I
gotta pick the teams. And I've been right for the
(28:23):
past thirty some odd years. That the Jets haven't been
to the Super Bowl. So I've been right every single year,
every year, and how good or haven't I've been right? Well,
so now I'm gonna be right here. I love you.
Picking the South, it's a bunch of a mess behind
the Jaguars. Okay, so they rise up once again, Bengals.
There's some questions there as to how they they push forwards,
(28:45):
some some movement to come. You hate the Steelers, Ravens
in flux, and Cleveland's Cleveland, sorry tie shirt, so throw
them out. In the West, it's it's the Chiefs and
everybody else unless Denver suddenly has some massive breakthrough. Are
you banking that the Chargers suddenly? I haven't all figured out?
(29:06):
Hell no, Sorry Frostburg. He probably heard that like a
dog with He's off tonight. He's off tonight. He's probably
still screaming at his house going harmon, I hate you,
and the Raiders are the Raiders? So blank? Then? Uh?
And so when it comes down too and Buffalo Miami,
your Jets and the Jaguars, Jets, Jaguars, there's your AFC
(29:31):
Championship game, there's Jets, and the Jets will win because
Aaron Rodgers will win sixth sets. Jaguars. We're not even
into the draft yet, and I'm telling you the Jets
of the Jaguars are going to the AFC Championship Game.
We're not even in the draft yet. Do you might
as well go bet that now? Yeah? Tell you what.
Next week during my days off, maybe I'll drive to
the desert and see if I can get hot zone. Hey,
(29:53):
I want to bet Jets Jaguars. Who you'd be the
first guy? Are you? Jason Smith? Now in my carmon?
Oh that makes sense? Okay, Yeah, what do you want?
We got Here's the guy that will actually put money
down on What do you want? We got we got
it for you. What do we want? I don't know
if that depending on the odds game, I would lay
some Hey, it's TAFC in a in a year of flux,
a lot of change ahead. I don't know. It's kind
(30:15):
of fun. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm
Eastern seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harman live from the
tirerack dot Com Studios. Somebody's birthdays. Head of the show.
Is it somebody's birthdays? Trying to make sure right, We're good.
(30:36):
We're good, okay, very good. Middle of the second quarter
on TNT, Denver leads Phoenix. Then we're playing without Yokich,
without Murray, without dan Thistle, without fat Lever. Uh no, mellow,
They're playing without everybody tonight, and they find a way
to be on top of the Suns by a point.
We'll have more on this coming up in a few minutes,
(30:57):
but it was two nights ago where I ad this
Iowa being invited to the White House by doctor Jill
Biden was a ridiculously stupid controversy. This wasn't the same
was on the heels of the Angel Reese Caitlin Clark controversy,
which was a real thing. This whole thing is stupid,
and Angel Reese and others brought up, oh, are we
(31:18):
gonna go? Are we not gonna go? She does a
podcast and says we're gonna go to the Obama's instead,
and then says, oh, we didn't talk to doctor Jill
Biden before the championship game because Joe Biden picked somebody
else to win on a bracket. So I'm like, then,
why are you upset that Jill Biden wanted to talk
to Iowa. It got even stupider last night. Night said
the stupids. They're gonna continue. Now it looks like it's over.
(31:40):
Now it looks like it's over because the national champion
LSU women's basketball team will accept the invitation from President
Biden to finish the White House. University spokesman Michael Bennett
confirmed las u's intentions on the matter Thursday. Now, I
haven't been officially invited, so it's still intentions like Aaron
Rocks to side with the Jets, So the possibility of
(32:03):
this blowing up is still. Yeah, that's good. I mean,
I know as a as a group, they went and
they they earned some cash and spread some love like
has become a thing in doing a shift at raising
canes together. That was part of the post championship celebration.
But now but now it looks like this is over.
(32:24):
Now it's unknown if everybody's going to go. Is Angel
Reese going to go, which she not, but LSU will go.
Head coach Kim Mulke said right after the game. If
we're invited, we're going. We're going to the White House. Um.
And so now that this at least has solved itself
and at least the ridiculously stupid drama is gone. Now
we still get to talk about Caitlin Clark and trash
(32:47):
talking and everything going on with Angel Reese, which is
a bigger deal, but at least this part of it
is done. And I feel like now the you know
and and I don't, And again, I don't know what
the real motivation was in this becoming a big deal.
Right Like, we're Angel Reese and LSU really mad that
Joe Biden didn't pick them in a national championship bracket
(33:09):
because right right away she came out by saying, Obama
is my president. We're gonna go to their house first
of all, Okay, Obama's not going to do that to
Joe Biden. Oh yeah, yeah, sorry. I gotta have Lsu.
I know this is gonna kill you politically and make
you look really bad, and I know you're my former VP,
but I gotta have it with the White House. So
that's not gonna happen. But the fact that now going
(33:29):
to the White House has now become and we've seen
people decline, and I don't want to go in the past,
you disagree with the politics or the president, or you
don't want to go forever, Heason. It's become that. But
now it's like every time somebody wins, that's the story.
Like it's gone from oh hey, here's a story that
well after they win a championship team gets invited to
(33:51):
the White House and somebody says they're not going. This
is now like right after the game is over, we're
not going to the White House. So we're gonna go
to the white House? Here, I don't know if we're
going to the white House. It's becomeing, hey, congratulations on
when you go to the White House? Are you going?
Like that's become that's become like these congratulations on winning.
Are you going to the White House? That's become like
that's become like the big lightning rod now of are
(34:11):
you going? Are you not going? Is everybody going? Is
the entire team going? Is nobody going? Well, at one
point it was you're going you support the office, what
it means, what it constitutes, and everything else, regardless of
the person in the suit. And then that's changed, right,
We've we've had that over the last decade plus where
that's not the same circumstances. Let's face it, if you're
(34:35):
a multi visitor, it's kind of like going to the
Pro Bowl. I don't need to go. I went, I
went three years ago, or things of that nature. But
it also in this climate, everything becomes a political statement,
even if it's really not. It's a all right, I
had a family gathering schedules where the team wants to
go and that was the only window they had available.
(34:58):
Or I'm having surgery or parent having surgery. I mean,
there's a million things that can keep you from going.
But if you don't, suddenly everybody wants to read into motivations,
even if you haven't ever publicly aired out any type
of political lean. It's really just that strange space we
acted by in twenty twenty three, Twitter at how about
(35:20):
a fresca? Mike, It's swollen down. The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon coming up next, boy
a story I'm afraid to talk about, but we have to.
And there's trash talk, and then there's what we got
today that's next right here at the tirect dot Com Studios.
