Speaker 1 (00:51):
They joined us last hour on the show breaking down
everything we saw so far in first day of NBA
Free Agency, and you know, Rick Bucker kind of hit
it on the head. We've talked about it throughout the
first couple hours of the show that more so than
anything else today was about head scratching moves and not
understanding what certain players and certain teams were thinking and look,
(01:13):
I like what the Lakers have done so far, but
they're kind of not done.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And Rick Buker said, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Know, I don't really see the move that that really
moves the needle where a team is what gone from? Hey,
we're at this level and now we're at this level,
whether it's from a non playoff team to a playoff team,
a playoff team to a contender or contender to a
championship caliber team. And that's really kind of where it's
(01:38):
all about today because the two moves Mike did. I
keep telling you, look, we've got big moves today, and
we still see big moves happening. Tyre's Halliburton's got two
hundred and sixty million dollars coming the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
But but Jason the stroke of the pen on that
was one thing. He has won social media and is
now the favorite player of many many people.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Of course he is.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Look to what you saw when he put up Wait
he put up a montage of the million dollar man.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh did he put him?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I did not see exactly like a madman. I retweeted
it at Swollen Dome.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
He got that guy? Did he really do that?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, you're right, he did him in Virgil.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, like right now, like Prosperg says, he's now his
favorite non laker.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I may actually add the jersey to a wall.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Before it's all said none, but you you just embraced it,
basically saying I just got over.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Everybody's got a price.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
But to your point, a lot of money. What does
it mean in terms of title contention?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Yeah, this might as well be the greatest tweet ever
for I think he wins Twitter tonight with this.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
He wins every night for this.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah, oh yeah, he indefinitely halliber and is the hero.
I mean, he's the captain now.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
He's The best part is.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Look at all of these tweets to put together a
million dollar man in Virgil, and while he's laughing, Virgil's
got the same look on his face every clip.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He's don't break character.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
How was he not the joker? I know I love
Jack Nicholson obviously, but how did they not cast a
million dollar man?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Well, because he's a million you can't be the joker.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I mean he could have fought Mark Hamill for some
of the animation works.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I'm saying for the chuckle alone, he could have been
the joker.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, yeah, but he does have a good laugh, he does.
I dig the million Dollar Man. He was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I mean, just the fact that he would be wrestling
against somebody and someone would be winning and Virgil would
come out with a briefcase full of money. The guy
would take it and then he would hit him over
the head with a chair and take the money back.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
That's when wrestling was real.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
The best vignettes, though, were the kids to do some
kind of athletic feet famous one with the kid, I
bet you can't bounce this ball ten times for this
stack of money, and then it would he'd get to nine.
Everybody's counting along and he to kick it out. Oh
you didn't get to ten, did you?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh? Man, that's all.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
That's a big throwback right there, already got it's already
got like a million views.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Forty He put it out there.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
The night.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Hey, maybe Tyre's Halliburton will fight Elon Musk at the
Coliseum in Rome.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
You never know.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I have to call see him in Rome, Come on in.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
If you will. I don't know, man, I cut.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
You would pay per view for that dude, dude.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
To watch, I mean, just to see Elon Musk and
Mark Zuckerberg fight.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I want to see that, man, I think I would
want to see that. I don't know why, but I
think I.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Would where like a lion comes out and then oh.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well, okay, well that would be that's are you not
at the TA see him? But certain things like do
I want to see Jake Paul fighting? But no, I
don't care. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Mark Zuckerer, I think I kind of won.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I think it has to be to the death though.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, well stop stop stopping, man, you can't. You can't
have that.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
That's not to call a seat.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But who's the person that gets to do the thumbs down?
Like they're walking in Phoenix?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
That's that's the listen. That's too dark for Bobby benia Day.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Man, we got to be about positivity and light here
on Bobby Benia Day.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That's it's too it's it's too much. That's too much.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I I just wanted to know who the guy was making.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I think it's hand.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
He's got that grin on his face the whole time.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, he'll be he'll be the referee, just wearing the
white T shirt from the you know.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
That's all it is. Yeah, it's it's look it's Tom

lids on your ice cream at home?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
No? No, no, once they're using in New York?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You know how how ironic is it that last night,
you know, I tell you about how people are eating
my ice cream at work and they're stealing it, and
I'm not happy about it.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Thieves to the show.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And the thieves apparently listen, because today there's the story
in New York that there are anti theft lids on
pints of ice cream now in New York because people
are like ice.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Is this not like the CVS or was this like
the bodegas?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, this is I think it's all over.

theft linds.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
That's chocolate, peanut butter, that's fish food. I gotta get
that last one.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I don't know, depending on where you're buying it, it
should be based on it.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's one tail costs there, dude.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You and I are filling in for Dan Patrick on Monday.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
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 app.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Uh So with day one in NBA Free Agency again,
it's more about and happy Bobby Benia Day.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It's more about the.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Craziness of the signings, and I'll tell you the two
that I just don't get that we've following all day.
I don't get Draymond Green four years and one hundred
million back to Golden State. And I sure as hell
don't get Kyrie Irving three years, one hundred twenty six
million dollars to return to Dallas.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Now, the.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Draymond thing is all you're doing is getting older. Draymond
was just okay last year at best. His player efficiency
rating decreased for his third year in a row. He's
not the same guy. You're trying to win a title,
and you know you have to get younger. And no
sport do you get older and win a championship see
Mets Common, New York twenty twenty three. You don't do it,
(09:36):
especially in the NBA. And what have the Warriors done.
They traded away Jordan Poole, who you know, Look, yes
he had problems, but he was still a twenty four
year old, really good player that could have had some value.
And you don't just trade him away and trade a
first round pick and a second round pick and you
get Chris Paul when you could have gotten for free.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Chris Paul's thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Come on, man, you see that he's washed.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
He can't play more than twenty minutes a night for
a couple of months, and then he's done. He's not
gonna help you win. You're not gonna win games in
the playoffs. It'll seem great in the beginning of the year.
It'll seem great, and then suddenly he's gonna hit the
wall and you're gonna wonder what just happened to our team?
And now you've taken money and resources and put it
into Draymond Green.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Not that it's about the money, not that it's about.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh, they're paying him to by this, but you only
have so many dollars to go around to try to
make the team better, and you gave Draymond Green a
big chunk of it when you need to make sure
you're adding to this team and not just trying to
bring back the band. I don't get what's going on
in Golden State. Like Bob Myers walked out and it
was like when your parents leave for the weekend and
(10:41):
they say no big parties, and the kid goes, yeah, yeah, sure,
and then it turns into risky business and there's an
egg and there's all kinds of stuff, and there's Rebecca
de Mornay and her friends, and Bronson Pinchaw.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Is in it, and you wonder what is going on.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
That's kind of what's going on in Golden State right now,
is that Bob Myers left and they make a really
bad trade to get old, and they still get older
by bringing back Draymond Green. There's no money, there's no
anything left to do anything else of your Golden State.
So you really think, if you're the Warriors, we got better.
I mean I feel like they would. I would rather
they just stand up and tell the fans, look, we're
(11:15):
not winning. We're done winning, all right, just let you know.
But so we made we made the conscious choice to
keep all the great players together that you've enjoyed watching
that one championships the last decade plus. They're gonna be
one team players. When they retire, we raise their jersey
to the rafters and you're gonna love watching them play
together for the next three or four years, even though
we're not gonna win. Be a nice comfortable old sweater.
(11:37):
We're doing this to service you, the fans, but we're
done winning. Because that's kind of what this tells me,
how are they any closer to winning when they were
a team that got dominated by an old team in
the second round of the playoffs last year in the Lakers. Really,
what the Warriors are doing just doesn't make sense. Rest
of the league is happy, say can say, oh, the
Warriors are done winning championships.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Now we're good. We're good, We're good. We're all good.
But I don't understand, Mike, I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I don't think dominated by the Lakers is correct. I mean,
they did give away a couple of games in the
fourth quarter after giving up a pretty decent sized lead.
But you know, you bring it back looking at the West,
looking at the potential for chaos, and wondering if you
do actually have a couple of those young players that
actually develop that finally give you what your talent evaluation
(12:25):
said they would be because you've had a couple of misfires,
and obviously the pool we get into tax implications, and
you know the problem that Draymond, the liking problem that
Draymond had with him as in it he didn't So yeah,
at twenty five million based on what other guys are getting,
culture history whatever, so be it. But yeah, recognize you
(12:48):
need some other big splash. If you're thinking you're getting over.

is this?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
I feel like I've in an elevator.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show, My best friend Mike
Harmon plishing my fancy drops live from the ti raq
dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's it's Friday. It's Friday, YO.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Holiday holiday holiday.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
It is Friday of a holiday weekend. Joining us now
on the hot lote.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
No one better to talk to you right now than
our insider in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Check them out on CBS.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
The bet the Board podcast is on Twitter at Todd Furman.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It is Todd Firman. What's happening, buddy?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Not all heck of a lot gentlemen enjoying a fine
Friday evening trying to figure out which ill guided NBA
franchise will throw on godly sums of money at players
that won't take them anywhere closer to winning an NBA title.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You know, normally I.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Would I would start here, I'd say, Okay, Todd who's
odds of winning the NBA title have improved? Instead, I
want to say who's odds have decreased after the free
agencyidence they've made today?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
I mean, the biggest question when I look at it
and look and I'm not going to be a GM
anytime soon. But the Dallas Mavericks didn't see enough of
the Kyrie Irving experience. They had so much fun missing
the playoffs in a problem fashion, they went, you know what,
let's double down and give Kyrie a three year deal
for thirty plus million annually or forty plus I can't
really do math all that while on a Friday night.
(14:31):
It leaves me scratching my head. Every single NBA free
agency that I see. All of this no different than
the Phoenix Suns trying to build a quote unquote super
team with no players that want to play a lick
of defense other than Kevin Durant.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's very well said right there.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But to Jason's original point, Todd, was there anything that
really moved? Like we talked with Rick Buker earlier and
he was, you know, stumped for a second time, like
moving the needle to where it's like, all right, some
money came in because people got excited.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
Yeah, I mean, look, the only money that may have
come in that move anything, was Smith going all in
on the Lakers, because clearly the missing link in Los
Angeles was getting Gay Vincent on a three year deal
for thirty three million dollars. Maybe Oklahoma City goes over
the Humpey adding a veteran like Victor Oladipo, But right now,
I mean, there hasn't been a move that's really going
to change the dynamic of anything. The Grizzly is giving
(15:24):
Derek Rose a two year deal of guaranteed money to
maybe provide a veteran influence on Jahn Morant. Probably not
the worst thing in the world, but you look at
some of these moves here and look, nothing is going
to change the NBA outlook as far as winning a title,
at least right now. I think the biggest domino that'll
wait and see if it falls in the next immediate
future would be James Harden. But look, Darryl Moray hasn't
(15:44):
shown an eagerness to deal a guy for pennies on
the dollar, and that situation, who knows, it could linger
for the next four or five months. If things play
out the right way.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
That's the thing, Todd is that I, well, look, I
like what the Lakers have done. They've signed forty four
different players today, and I feel like they need they
need that one more. They need to throw a big punch,
and they have the flexibility to do it because they
have a lot of guys. Maybe they wind up keeping
Hot Chamoor, maybe they keep Austin, whatever it is, but
there's still some sign in trades.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I feel like what they've done so far is nice.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But you throw a big punch and suddenly you vault
yourself up into being a title contender for next year.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
I mean, how dare you cast dispersions at a one
time New York nick great in the form of Cam Reddish,
who landed himself a two year deal with the Lakers.
He's not the missing link to put the Lakers into
rarefied air and allow them to go on and when
you get another NBA title in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Four, Hey, look, Cam Reddish is going to be forty
five years old, and people are gonna say, boy, if
someone can unlock the potential of Cam Reddish, they're really
going to always been retired for all. But if someone
can unlock his potential. He's going to be great.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
You know, somewhere along the way, Maccabi tel Aviv will
be more than happy to have a forty two year
old cam Reddish out there as their lead scorer in
the Israeli League, and everyone will be able to realize
that full potential, much like they did in the Middle
least with Kalidel.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I mean, well, there we go, there we wow. Wow,
you kind of just dunked on Frostburg right there, todd.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
An, you got la meant the end of the show.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Hey, I mean if frost wants to wear is you know,
Maccabi tel Aviv shirts into the office every Friday night
for Shabbat, I applaud that kind of effort, staying true
to our heritage.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Nicely done. Let's get to the betting that really matters.
Can anybody upset Joey Chestnut and finally take the crown?
And why are is the over unders drifting slower? Are
we becoming less gluttonous of a nation?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I think when you look at all of this and
until Joey chest Nut ends up getting knocked from his
percha and is rightful thrown atop the competitive eating field,
it's almost a fool to aeron to try and chase
somebody down to catch him in that particular department. But
the one thing, and guys, we've talked about the handicap
on the hot dog eating contest year in year out,
that you want a factor into the equation for all
(17:54):
of this is heat and humidity. When it's a little
bit more moderate weather, it's much more induce if to
eating at the levels that Joey Chestnut has been able
to achieve in the past. When it's going to be hot, sticky,
and humid, it makes things a little bit more difficult.
But you know, unlike what we've seen in the past,
first time in a while we have to factor in
the overall air quality in the Tri state area. So
(18:15):
I think I would gradually lean towards going under the
total for Joey Chestnut, just because he may not have
to push his gut as far as we've seen in
the past and the temperatures, even with a little humidity
in the air, I don't think he's not going to
have to go after the world record.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So what I get your hot take is we should
move this contest to the winter time because it's always
going to be hot on the fourth of July.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Well, I mean, look, you know a lot of us
have spend time on the East Coast for a lot
of holidays through the Midwest. It wasn't always one hundred
degrees in sweltering heat. You'd get some days that were
mixed in. But if we had this eating competition outside
at Coney Island and Christmas, those are going to be
much more favorable competitive eating conditions when you have the
cold and you're able to try and get yourself comfortable
(18:56):
as long as you get your hot dog dunking arm
loosened up. When it's thirty two degrees outside, I mean,
it's a lot more pleasant to eat some of those
heavier food items when it's colder than when it's a
lot warmer. And anybody who's ever eating their grandmother's meatloafs
can attest.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
To Fox Sports Radio, Jason's.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Knew it had to happen here forth tirak dot Com,
Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's our buddy Todd Furman at
Todd Ferma where you find them on Twitter at bet
the Board Pod. That's the Bet the Board podcast, part
of the network. Analyst CBS Sports, HQ, NHL puck Line.
You hear them with us each every week here on
Fox Sports Radio. We got racing in Chicago over the weekend.
(19:41):
They've been doing a lot of get out and meet
the good people of Chicago and the suburbs.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
There.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Todd any insights on a track, riding around the Miracle Mile,
or maybe stopping for a deep dish along the way.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Yeah, honestly, I wish I had a compelling handicapping angle here,
but I think it's going to be fascinating to see
how these drive versus handle the street circuit. It'll be
the first time in seventy five years that NASCAR is
going to try this endeavor, and the iconic Chicago Skyline
will be featured prominently there. So I'm as excited as anybody.
Not quite sure what the quality of racing will look like,
but what I found fascinating harm and all the logistics
(20:16):
that went into this. They weren't shutting down some of
the streets that are going to serve the racetrack for
the Effinity Series and the Cup until tonight at midnight.
So anybody that has grown up in the Midwest and
driven around downtown Chicago extensively, you have no idea when
a pothole is going to spring out of absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Nope.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
So hopefully they're out there identifying the track conditions. But
we can only hope that the safety of all the
fans and drivers, given the unique logistics around this, will
work in the favor. And hopefully this is a sign
of NASCAR thinking outside the box that if we're successful
in Chicago on a street circuit, then maybe they can
go to other larger metropolitan areas and try and put
non traditional NASCAR cities on the map and expose the
(20:55):
sport to a newer and newer fan base every single season.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
All right, Todd, Lastly, I want to hit you with this,
you know, don't be afraid to give it to me straight.
If I wanted to bet odds that at the trade
deadline the Mets are able to trade both Surezer and Verlander,
what odds would.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
You give me?
Speaker 8 (21:10):
I mean, given Steve Cohens press conference that he said
nobody is safe, I think there is a decent chance
that they could move one of those guys. Moving both
feels like a little bit of a leap of faith.
So I would give you long shot underdog odds there
in that you know, five and a half six to
one range. Probably a little bit short in that particular department,
but this is impressive to see this Mets team really
(21:31):
struggle for an identity. You look at the Braves continuing
to play record breaking baseball with their home run proficiency
and everything else. I can't imagine this is sitting all
that comfortably for Steve co knowing what their record setting
payroll looks like. And it goes to show that you
can't just throw money at problems in life. You need
to build a little bit of chemistry and make sure
you have guys that can play the right position.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Better odds that Buck Showalter gets fired, you.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Know what, that's a great question. And when you get
the dreaded, you know, ringing and worsemen in the media
that say you're gonna get through the whole season, I
think there's better odds that Bucks Showalter doesn't manage one
hundred and sixty two games than Sureser and Verlander didn't
finish the season as members of the New York Metropolitan.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You can fall him on Twitter at Todd Furman, that is,
at Todd Furman. Check ab out the bet the Board podcast,
also on CBS. Todd Thanks a bunch as always, and
happy Bobby Benia.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Day always, gentlemen, have a great holiday weekend. And I'll
talk you in a few weeks when I get back
on American Soil Safe travels.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Brother, take those preview magazines with you.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, boy, there goes Todd Furman. You know.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
And I gotta be you know, every year around this time,
I think about what we talked about a couple of
years ago, and I think, you know, because you know,
you always think about ending in certain and certain times
and how, And I really do think the best way
if when I want to retire, is for me to
do it on the last Bobby Benia Day.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
But man, that's too long, Like the five is a
long time.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Man, that's let's sign those deals now, let's you know,
let's let's go.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That's all right, that's thirteen more.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Years now without you, Jason.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's it stop.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I mind, My cholesterol is one forty six tight shirts,
so stick it.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
You should think the person taking your ice cream.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Then, you know, I gotta tell you he may have
just put himself up as a suspect.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Not that he's eating it, but he's destroying it to
help you right.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Yeah, I'm not gonna say who it is, but I'm
watching somebody eat your ice cream right now.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I'm gonna go eat Jason's ice cream. Gotta safe, but
save you.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Know it's not me? So uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Oh no, I would know if all of a sudden
FROs walking.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
I'm not getting a flash neck brace over that. No,
his voice would just go, oh, you guys, but you're crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I see who I dark.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Actually, someone get him a dart for he needs it
in the jugular guys.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
No, I I gotta think that if I was gonna
do you know the best thing to do it on
Bobby Benie A day like Bobby Beni, A day would
be my lab like when I would retire and I
don't you know, I look.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It's it's still a ways away, you know, kno what
it's it's still a long ways away.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
You're not getting a one point one million dollar check.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
No, No, just that I would retire on that day
like that'd be, that'd be, that'd be the perfect day
for me to.
Speaker 3 (24:18):

gonna retire? What are you worried about?
Speaker 6 (24:28):
I'm worried about you, Jason?
Speaker 3 (24:29):

ay no, long live the King.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I'm like, hey, let's let's sign the deal through. Thirty
five is what I was trying to say. They're killing
you off.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Thirty five is a long twenty thirty five is a
long time.

body that they're gonna go like, oh my god, this
