Big update and Major League Baseball want to get to
here before we get to the night of the Hall
of Fame game. The Angels on the cusp of another win.
They lead the Mariners three to one in the top
of the ninth inning. However, the Mariners have the bases
loaded and nobody out. I'll make it one out. Hernandez
just struck out swinging. Why is this game a big deal,
(01:14):
well show. He Otani started for the Angels tonight, but
left the game as a pitcher after four innings with
cramping in his pitching hand. Stating the game homeward in
the eighth inning his fortieth fortieth to give the Angels
their three to one lead, hand cramps leaves the game
as a pitcher. He now has two seasons with over
(01:36):
forty home runs and now three seasons with over one
hundred and fifty strikeouts as a pitcher. I mean, this
is every day.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's that they knew.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But think about this, right, we go all through everything.
This is now the third time Otani has had to
leave a game in the last couple weeks with some
kind of cramping. And this is cramping in his hand.
And I want to say, dude, drink water. Where where
are the team doctors? Say?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I have some water?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I make sure, make sure.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Turning into a claw.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
What is he doing?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Hydrate? I get one of those flexer things right the bands?
You gotta stretch out what is happening? Why is he
cramping all the time? If I'll tell you, I'm sitting
here going if I'm the Ames going, hey, where's our
team doctor?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
What are you doing to this guy. You know, he's
drinking electrolytes. Electrolytes.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't call for a lot of jobs in sports.
I do go after the trainers a lot, though, O man,
I mean the Ravens and the Chargers and plenty of
rants in the past. They both changed this offseason, you
know right now eyebrows rays there for the Angels. Someone's
got to be making sure he's fully hydrated.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I mean, I don't understand how this is in now
the third game, the third time he's had to leave
a game in the last couple of weeks with some
kind of cramping issue. And how do you still have
I don't understand. How do not after the first one?
Did you not do a full work up? Going? Okay,
here's what you need. Have you ever see the movie Idiocracy? No, well,
it's all about electrolytes. You need electrolytes. Okay, we gotta
get you that.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We got one of the most underrated films we got
the last quarter century.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's got electro lige.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Jason, you want a fun fact about that movie? Okay,
sure you down, Yeah, go ahead. Okay, So the director
of costume when they were trying to find outfits for
the futuristic people who are pretty much dumbed down in society.
They had such a hard time finding shoes. They were
trying to find something that would basically ever live the
show itself. It would never be ageless, right, So they
had to find something that was cost efficient and also
(03:29):
didn't look good. Guess what shoes they found that was
just starting up as a pop up company. Oh do
you remember the shoes they were wearing.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
This would be hang on, hang on? What were they wearing?
Hang on? Hang on? This would be early two thousands,
was it n one? No? No, okay.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
They wanted to find a shoe that they thought and
the person that was the director for I guess you
could say all of the clothing and stuff said there's
no way anybody in the future will wear these shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Were good? Do you know what they are?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Not? A?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeasy?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Did you say, Mike at New Bunce? They were cross?
Were they really? They just started they said there's no
way people will wear these? How about that? It was incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I just went to all the jokes about the No,
that was pretty good. No, I like that, and the
fact that you wear them that was good. Yeah, that
was good. No, so, yeah, I did not know that.
There my judging company, I'm gonna call you Beef Supreme.
Now we're changing your name Beef Supreme. Well remember subway
subway smith, so I can Oh, that's right, that's right.
You gotta get some free subway for because that's coming up.
(04:30):
Oh wait a minute, Oh, I think the last day
to enter was today? Did you get it in?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
No? I thought I had time. Isn't that?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Isn't that what we all say?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I thought I had time. I thought I had one
more I know I had time.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I had one more season, I had one more this.
I had one more opportunity to go see a show,
go see a concert, see a movie, see my favorite team,
and cheer them on. And I didn't do it. I
thought I had more time. You know the girl you
were gonna propose to, I thought I had more time.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
She was done.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I messed it. I thought I had more time. I
thought I.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Gotta add more time I get called for a ball.
I did to send them home and and give me
a loss.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You could have free sandwiches for lunch. I know, I
know it's my fault. It's my fault because I'm doing
I know I'm stupid.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Now we got to get into the room and just
have them become a sponsor of the show.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah yeah, okay, well we want good food though that whoa, dude,
that's not gonna help. That's not gonna help. What we dude?
Subway sandwiches are really tasty and now they slice everything.
Maybe they'll give us a slice er. I'll be able
to slic Harmon could bring in the meat. Watch Harmon
slice it. See. I bet you'd be I bet you
in a previous life, you'd have been a really good
sandwich no deli meat counter like it all guy like,
(05:45):
oh he can make the sandwiches, he can cut the meat.
Oh yeah, yeah, he'd be mikey forefingers after day one,
the slicer like he'd be like Mickey Rourke from The
Wrestler throwing me there aren't you ram Jam wrestler from
the eighties Now not me? No, that was human the
video game. But everything goes but no. But to get
(06:06):
back to electrolytes, yeah, showing a ton I me, come on,
this is the third time cramping. Okay, have a little
bit of water, Have a little water. Electrolytes something pedia
light Pedia lights like something every time a doctor says,
but yeah, pedia light really want it? Here you go
hand cramp cures. I mean it's quick, quick google Dan cramp.
What is it?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Stop the activity that causes your hand?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The activity is me throwing a baseball.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
All right, that's how you get pitch anyway, it's gotta
keep number two. Stretching muscles, okay, mussaging or rubbing the okay.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I'm sure all of those things can happen. Apply heat
or cold, I'm sure that can work out. And taking
certain vitamins and supplements may be helpful. There you go.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
See there were number six, that's which should be number one.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What's that? Increase fluid here here out See, we're doctors here,
we're dying. We're helping to solve big time medical problems.
Here for Shoo Tani, I love to get. Now, it
can't be that bad because he can still hold the
bat and still hit a home run, so it's still okay. Meanwhile, meanwhile,
as we have said this, what did I say? The
(07:10):
Angels on the Customs victory over the Mariners are winning
three one in the ninth one out bases loaded, Kate
Marlowe has just gone yickiny grand slam to give the
Mariners my marror. Remember I picked the Mariners go to
the World Series this year. Mariners lead the Angels now
five to three going to the bottom of the night.
Stam Philip or Christopher? No, it's yeah and TJ. Clearly
(07:34):
they're seeing a private eye. With Marlowe's home run here
in the ninth inning, Wow, what a kick and the
teeth there.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hu Tani leaves the game early. You battle to where
you're leading, he hits a home run and then you
you gack it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Awful grand slam from my Mariner, my Mariners in your marriage.
They have not had me back on a kJ R
since I told them the Mariners are going to the
World Series and Jay Rod's going to be the MVP.
You should go back on. You should just call in.
I was supposed to win one once a month.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But when soft he you know, just gives out the
number for callers, you should dial up under an alias
and then be like, it's me, what.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Happened to my what happened to my visit here? Why?
Why am I not on me?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Why are you doing a seth rollins? Last as you
come up to the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Hey, hold me responsible for that, Like, that's that's different.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
How ab on holding Julio Rodriguez to his two fifty one,
seventeen and fifty eight stat line.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
How about going there? Jason? Yeah, if you ever put
a whole team on your back, you'd be dehydrated too,
That's true, but that but you know, if he's literally
caring them, I know. But if you're the team doctor,
you have to know you need more stuff. Be hooking
him up to an ivy. You know how much gatorade
they have at Dodger Stadium. This is not going to
be an issue next season? Is that? What happened when
when Mookie bet shook his hand at second base, he
(08:50):
gave mccanna a bottle of gator right here, drink this.
We got plenty more with that came from showing what's
your favorite flavor? We got it for you. What do
you want them all? You're like share like blue ice?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
What do you And you think the Angels did a
lot of promotions. I mean, you're not even on the
team and we had Japanese Heritage Night when you came
to play. We're ready, We're having Electrolight Night tomorrow. You
should be on the team. You'd have electro lights to
be fine. Watch out every every fifth day they give
away Gatorade or ped light with a label that's got
(09:22):
Otani on there. So we did, we found you a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But just think about this now, Otani forty home runs
amazing on the season, his second forty home run season.
And you know, when you look at his pitching numbers,
it's not so much that he look he's a better
offensive player than he is a pitcher. Right, He's a
really good pitcher. Is he an elite, elite level pitcher? No,
(09:46):
he's honestly, he's a really good number two. Right, Like,
if you want Otani is your ace, okay, maybe you're
you're a kind of team like this, you're kind of
a playoff team like the Angels. But if Otani's your
number two pitching, okay, that's great because that's kind of
how he is. Like, well, you talk about him pitching
and hitting, there's a difference in in where he's at
(10:07):
and we see the big games he has pitched, because
he had some big games recently, but he's at games
where he gets hit pretty hard. You know, as era
is mid threes, he's not somebody that's gonna go dominate
all the time. He's not to Grom when he's on,
he's you know, he's not one of those kind of pitchers,
but he is a great number two pitcher. That that's
his ceiling right now. And oh look that's better than
anybody else obviously, but you know there is a difference
(10:29):
between his between him as a as a hitter and
as a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
As it goes forward, Yeah, I mean you got to
punch out opportunity one fifty six coming into the game. Uh,
twenty starts three, four to three. As he said, they've
won half the games or he's picked up wins I
should say, in half of his starts at this point.
So yeah, number two, I guess would be the proper
(10:52):
way to do it. High end number two with the
occasional elite stuff. I found it interesting, you want to
do Grom the artist look at once, well was de Gram.
Look that's a guy who is as dominant like that's
how dominant. He's been the most dominant pitcher of the
past seven eight years. Yeah, and no, Todi's not that
guy on every fifth day, but the opportunity does pop
(11:16):
up with the right opponent. Look, the Tiger stink, So
that day, I take nothing away from the day, but
the opponent's bad, right, and you can go dominate a
team like that. You're not generally running through a lineup.
And this is where baseball has changed, and why when
we do get complete games of any sort, even if
(11:36):
it's a miserable outing, right and they just decide to
eat innings, I'll give the guy credit for still battling through,
because normally you don't get to see a lineup a
third time. It's just where the analytics are in baseball.
No matter how well you're going, you're gonna get get
shut down. So some of his and I'd be curious
to see from the er perspective how much of that
(11:58):
is also by the relievers coming in and surrendering the
runners on base right, the inherited runners and such. But
just the point being on the larger scale, yeah, he
would an elite player overall, we're doing ridiculous things. Has
(12:19):
those occasional moments, but on a night to night Basis
still gives up enough home runs. He leads the league
in wild pitches with twelve. So there's certainly things in
the measurements that take away just slightly from that elite
of the elite. Now, while you were saying that, I
actually applied to be the Angels team physician, so I
(12:39):
put you down as a reference, so hopefully you can
you can help me out little bit with that. No,
I mean you certainly do you know how to intake
liquids at a rapid pace?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Hey, listen, listen, when you drink diet soda, it's the
same thing as drinking water, So it's the same kind
of kind of consumption. Still drink water, but still drink water.
It's the same thing. And have electrolytes there you go,
show Hey, that'll be three hundred and seventy five dollars
you can pay on the way out.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
What's your application? Just say it just says electure like
what do you mean by that? And the Angels electri
like doctor? You have to visit our electric like doctor.
Oh yes, yes, that's Jason Smith. He's right there and
then he just sprinkles it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So yeah, I wanted to bring you that with show. Hey,
o tani. Uh. But we get back into the NFL.
The NFL is here. We saw it tonight, and I'll
tell you my big concern going forward after what we
saw on the field at the Hall of Fame game.
That's what you're Jets fans going, because when you're a Jet,
you're a Jet all the way. That's next, right, Heir
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Happy sixtieth birthday to James Headfield. Wow, that's it, nicely
done downy, California's own James Headfield.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Bring it all back together right there. Sixty sixty Yeah,
I'm old man, Damn. James Headfield is sixty's for almost
forty years. Then.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I remember when he's just getting warmed up. I remember
when they first came around, when they first broke in.
I'm thinking, wow, Kirk Hammitt's the guitar. He's only eighteen. Yeah, like,
oh my god, you would like call the other guys
are like twenty two, twenty three. It's like eighteen.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I'm like, oh my goodness, I want to go to
a museum of his horror collection. He's a big horror
film guy, so he buys all the props and and
and hangs out with the all the artists that do
that work.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
When's that a dueling stage concert of theirs at so
Far here right after Taylor Swift. It's like Taylor Swift
got you.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Know what they want to Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You want to talk about it? Right there? Come on,
let's go now. You are missing the show tomorrow night,
Yes to go, and you're bringing your daughters to go
see Taylor. We are yes again. The only people I
know that have tickets are you and rich from season
two of The Bear. That's it. That's everybody else I know.
And Richie may or may not be my cousin. Rich
You know, no, I picture everybody in your family. But
(15:10):
season one Richie, not season two. I don't know. We
got a hybrid. We clean up pretty nicely when we
need to. I wear suits now, no, because my brothers
wear suits for work every day. So you know, they
can be Richie or they can be Richie season one Richie,
season one rich Yeah, they bridge that pretty well. Metallica
is here at the end of August. Guess so we
(15:30):
need to rally, but Taylor swifts first La Conscience and night. Look,
this has been the I mean, it's amazing how much
this concert has become the concert event of well, I
don't know what the last fifteen years. I mean, I
don't know think anything is more anticipated that the tickets
as expensive as this, and every night something trends differently.
Her surprise songs were this and all. I mean this.
(15:52):
She's playing the biggest venues in every city, selling out
football stadiums. It really, it's it's it's it's really unprecedent
that she can do this much and sell this many tickets,
to have this rich. A tour like this is going
to increase her net worth by almost two billion dollars.
She just gave how many millions of dollars to the people.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
They estimated fifty five million dollars Between the truck drivers
go got one hundred grand each for getting stuff set
up and to the cities, and then reportedly folks made
at least forty five fifty grand if you're part of
the crew at any level and part of the touring package,
just to take care of the people. You know, you
know the old adage and tight shirt brought it up earlier, right,
(16:33):
take care of your people, they take care of you.
It's the circle of life, and things run smoothly. What's
been curious is like all the conspiracy theories about different
dates and how things have flown flowed together.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And so she added.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
New Orleans and Indianapolis, Toronto and Miami today. But before
that it was nineteen Cities with La being the last
YEP and the final date of this leg of the
tour August ninth, next Wednesday, eighty nine, which is Big Albums,
And that's the next one in the re release, which
has just been genius.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I'm gonna own all.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I changed a line here, I added a minute there.
People are gonna buy in. Uh, it's it's just a
work of brilliance, you know me. I I love when
we get into the business sense of all of it. Obviously,
the songs and the artistry whatever is one thing. But
when you watched you know, you learn it straight from
the Mick Jagger uh London School of Economics playbook of
(17:32):
how to make this thing live and breathe and grow
as it has. I mean, it's an impressive thing. I
just want to see the spectacle of it. After all
the build up, I've started building friendship bracelets. So I'll
bring you one.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Look at you. It's like you're going to a dead show. Hey,
we're gonna exchange bracelets. Man, take this. This is great.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Well, but there you had to have a code of
which one was the good stuff that you were going.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
To use for the show.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Right, Okay, on the bracelet, here's they're actually just bracelets.
They're they're not I'm not trying to smoke.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, just making sure, you know. So you got to
put your phone number on your bracelet, like Travis ca. Yeah,
you know, I got a couple of those. Yeah, I know,
we're working on that. Uh got arrested. He was falsifying
bracelets and selling it ill I thought about that. It's
like comes with a bacon wrapped hot dog. Here he
is being let off and you see harm in his
(18:21):
purple shorts, his backwards hat as he's going back, going, Ellie,
you can drive down, drive home, drive home.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I mean, I'll have the the glitter hat is certainly there.
I was waiting on a jacket to show up that
I don't know what's gonna make it in time.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It got held up, So that kind of sucks, all right.
I mean we had it. We had our outfits to work. Man,
I know some of the jackets you wear. And maybe
that's not the worst thing that it didn't show up
because I I'll tell you the truth about it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
But it was Seth Rollins inspired the one that I
did order. Okay, Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's making
it here before we leave for the venue tomorrow. But no,
like I love the spectacle of this is why I
love going to con Sharts live events. When we go
to sports venues and new places that you see it's
a different world. And this old environment man, this community
(19:10):
thing that she's got built and generations and and this flow.
I don't know if it's kind of cool. And yes,
the Travis Kelsey thing was a good plan, just didn't
get to be executed properly, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And that's the That's the thing about Taylor Swift and
how how huge this concert tour is. We get to
the Jets and the Browns in a second. Is that
you know? I was just telling you we were talking
about our daughter's different tastes and music and look, my
daughter is is is big time into Bowie and Queen
and she listens to the Smiths and like that's just
what she likes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
That's where they're at in that age. Yeah, because Madeline's
in that same vein.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But no matter what kind of music I know, and
any of Zoe or her friends like, they all love
Taylor Swift. Doesn't matter. You can like, I really like
hip hop, I love Taylor Swift, I like rock and roll,
I like Taylor Swift. I like listening to experimental And
it doesn't matter. I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And then they fight about which album is best and
some you know, if you did the hey rank her albums? Yeah,
you know there's the that one's last?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
How can you make that one last? But how do
they relate to her music? All of it's about her breakups?
Well that's the one thing everybody knows about breakups and
and and who you're dating. That's what it's all.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Trials, tribulations and uh, you know, fighting for what you want.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
And all them in These kids are already dating. Listen, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
As long as as long as they've got enough experience
with their buddies that they've had to try to counsel
and bring back from the ledge.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Certainly plenty of that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
As long as there are our kids who have relationships
and they're gonna love rock and rolling, all kinds of
stuff doesn't matter. I mean love hate. You can sit
back and say, you know, I'd like to listen to
progressive rock, and I listen to a lot of Emerson,
Lake and Palmer, some progressive rock from the eighties like
the Alan Parsons Project, But I love Taylor Switt.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I really thought you were gonna dial up some Carnievil
number nine.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Welcome back, my friends to the show. That you know.
It took me forever when I first started listening to
ELP that Keith Emerson was not the singer. I thought
he was singing. And then I'm like, gad, Keith that, No,
Greg Lake is a singer, you idiot. I go, he
plays the gameboards, he sings. No, Greg Lake is a singer.
Oh that's my fault. Guess what song I'm cranking up
after the show? That that is that drive. We are so
(21:18):
glad you could attend. Come inside, Come inside? So where
are you out with the adult diapers? Mike? Are you good?
You all set? I'm really good. Jason didn't get the

tell Swift plays you can't go to the bathroom in
(21:39):
the middle of that. No, she's not gonna play Coma
in the middle. And where you can go? Dare you like?
It's guns and roads? Dir Oh, here comes Coma. I
got fifteen minutes. What are you talking? And go to
the bathroom and go buy a T shirt. No, you

song they close with exactly. Slash plays a solo with
a guitar behind his head. He does that all time
the course of a set. Not gonna miss that. Cob.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
By the way, are we going to that? I mean

But uh, snap Dragon Stadium down down the road.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You go, Hey, listen, I'm playing before we evens, before
we even get into that. I'm just glad that now

Speaker 3 (22:16):
No, no, no, there's still more on the z but
it's over here in La for the moment.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, But we ordered the uh, we ordered all the
audio from the concert on the show. Wait, they're not
playing tonight? Is their last show? Are they? They're playing
opposite Taylor's No. I don't think so. That would be
a good counter program. It would be very counter programming. Hey, well,
it's like how you go out of business. But when
I no, no, When I went to see uh Morris
(22:41):
Day a few months ago, it was the night that
the Lakers eliminated. It was a playoff the Warriors. It
was Yeah, so the Lakers limit and so we're we're
at the concert and we're watching the game before the
concert goes on everything else. Morris was out the game. Well,
and you were at the venue next the venue right
next to State sorry, right next to he walked underground.
I'm sure he did so, Like the venue is right
(23:03):
next to right next to the arena, and the Lakers
are playing and they win, and he comes out and
everybody's going crazy yelling, and the first thing he says is, hey, y'all,
let me ask you a question. Are you all here?
Because you couldn't get tickets in the Laker game tonight,
so he came to see me instead, and everybody starts laughing.
He goes into his first song. It's raiz those you
couldn't get tickets to the Laker games, so you came
to see me. Oh it's okay, that's what it was.
(23:25):
Now tonight speaking of tonight Hall of Fame game in
the NFL, the Jets and the Browns, No Rogers, Rogers, Rogers.
Zach Wilson makes an appearance. He's a little bit more confident,
a little bit better than he was last year. But
still the operating words there are a little bit. But
tonight was one of those celebration of the game nights.
(23:46):
All the cutaways to Aaron Rodgers walking down the halls
and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, looking
at the busts, knowing one day his head was gonna
be there, The interviews during the game, the cutaways to
him him helping Zach w Wilson every five minutes, saying, Zach, dude,
come on, man, this and this.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
And let me ask you a question about the bus thing.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Uh huh. Do you think they forced him to go
do that or did he actually wanted to do You know,
he strikes me someone that's interested in stuff like that
and want to go do it.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, as long as the camera's there to get a
good angle as he stares and yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It are you gonna be I'm gonna go to the
Hall of Fame today. Oh okay, great, like we are
you gonna go? I'm gonna go get pizza. We're gonna
follow you there too. So no, he's big.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I can't wait for that on Hard Knocks on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But the thing and watching tonight and seeing her look,
I don't care. The Jets lost. Obviously, no starters played
for either team. The closest thing that that relay resembled
the starter was Zach Wilson uh playing for the Jets.
But this is the only thing, And this is what
makes me nervous about the Jets this season. And obviously
there are you worry about injuries all this stuff. No, no,
(24:48):
what what makes me nervous is that things have gone
so well. Right. They needed a quarterback, they got Aaron Rodgers.
You needed to kill the draft the last couple of
years they did. They need to bring in a running back,
They got a running back. The wide receivers they brought
in wide receivers. They need to make sure the defensive
line is a monster. Defensive line is a monster. They
have the best pair of top two cornerbacks in the
game in Sauce Gardner and DJ Reid. But this is
(25:10):
honestly what concerns me, especially after a night like tonight
in which I watched the Jets have a big, big
celebration of them as a team. Is that for forty
years now, like I haven't watching the Jets for over
forty years, and in forty years, no matter who the
head coaches, no matter who the owner is, no matter
who the quarterback is, the Jets have never been able
to handle success nevers. As soon as they get that
(25:32):
little bit of taste of it, they go crazy over
it and they fall back to earth and they can't
figure it out again.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Now, you did get to a couple of AFC title games.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It does is incredible. It was incredible getting back there
because he was great in the playoffs. But for the
Jets have never been able to handle success. And the
Jets had success at the end of their first year
AFC championship. The next year they go to the ANFC
title game again and they lose. And then what happens
a year after that and so badly you got players
fighting on the field, and the year after that, Rex
(26:02):
Ryan's fired. They've never been able to handle success or
sustain it. And maybe it's a bit of the Little
Brother syndrome because being in New York, Hey, they get
their fair share of the headlines when they're winning. But
if the Giants are winning, guess what, the Giants get
the headlines. It's a lot closer than it is to
say like the Dodgers and the Angels, but it's still
the Giants are the longer heritage team and the Jets
have always been fighting for relevancy. But every single time
(26:26):
the Jets gain a bit of success, they can't sustain
it and it goes to their head and whatever permeates
whatever's in the water, it distilled it and they wind
up falling back to Earth and they get in a
big run. Last year, what happened? The Jets started out okay, right,
then they're seven and four and Robert Sala saying I
want receipts, look how good we are. And then what
happened to lose seven games to end the season, just
(26:48):
when things started to be okay, Hey, suddenly, yeah I
got receipts. Now we're a pretty good team. We're this
for that. Okay, stop thumping your chest because you haven't
done anything. And look what happened? They want up finishing
seven and ten. It happens. It happened with with Rex Ryan,
it happened with Todd Bowles. Just when they think, hey,
Ryan Fitzpatrick is great, well, nope, we have a horrible game.
The final year of the regular season, we lose to
(27:09):
the Bills. We don't make the playoffs. That was the
closest they've been in the playoffs in the last decade
was in twenty sixteen. And I can go all the
way back and it would be a Jets history night. Yeah,
we don't need Jets. I could go all the way back.
So every time the Jets looked like but they couldn't
sustain it. When Parcels was the coach and went to
the ANFC championship game, what happened? He quit the year
after that. That was it. He was done and and
(27:29):
the Jets couldn't figure out a way. Hey, we get
back to the playoffs in two thousand and six. Chad Pennington,
what happens? Nope, can't sustain it. It happens all the time.
They can't put together a three to five year run
of success. They can't even put together a two year
run of success. Sometimes it's just a handful of games
that they can put put it together for. And that's
why I look at I look at the team, and
I go, No, matter who they are, they can't handle it.
(27:50):
If they start out three and oh, watch what happens.
Watch the Jets try to handle three and oh and
all of a sudden, So.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You're kicking down your fourteen and three prediction, tempering your
expectations out.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh no, no dose of.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Reality to warn out you're a ten and seventeen. I mean,
look fighting for the playoffs. Look, Rogers are still that great.
So we're still fourteen to zero, and then then we'll
see everybody out. No, but that's the concern is that
they can't handle it. And how is this team with
a head coach that's still trying to find his way
and a quarterback who's going really to be the head
coach at least the head coach of the offense. Yes,
how is this all going to go? How are they
(28:23):
going to handle success? Right?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Every team handles failure differently, and sometimes teams bounce back
from it. Sometimes it winds up being a snowball effect
for you. But that's not unique to anybody, but handling success,
that's a big time Jets thing. They've never been able to.
Forty years, they've never been able to do it. Every
time they start feeling good about themselves and I start
seeing quotes in the online or about them saying, hey,
(28:45):
we're pretty good. You got to respect us. We're coming
for you. I know it's the bottom is falling out now,
and the bottom do always falls out, But you go through.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
This roster and this, you know, take the uh, take
the logo off the helmet for a minute, legitimately, And
you're gonna hate me for saying it, because it's something
we talk about every year when we start doing our breakdowns.
Most of your squad is solid, you're running back situation.
All right, we'll see right how quickly Hall is ready
(29:13):
to go? What Carter is? You had the Rookie Show
shown a little bit today in the Hall of Fame game.
But that's a position where you know Dalvin Cook coming in. Yeah,
that helps, and you're feeling really good, not just because
it's Dalvin Cook to that level, just it's a proven
commodity versus where you're at at right now. Because Brees
(29:35):
Hall looks like you could be electrifying, but is he
ready game four to take on a full load Game seven, Like,
what are we talking about in terms of his return
full time? And then obviously the offensive line when you're
talking about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Now he leaned out.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
He's gone the Tom Brady way in terms of body
composition for this year. Right, he looks mean and lean
like a greyhound getting ready to after it, which means
maybe there's still some elusiveness and some good foot work
ahead as he has to roll the pocket because he's
gonna need to with that old line that they've got
(30:11):
assembled here. Love the skill positions. You brought in some
veterans that have great knowledge of how to work and
operate with him, which is great, right familiarity. And then
you've got Garrett Wilson as you're one. You re signed
Quinn Williams to anchor the front of that d you
mentioned the secondary. Everybody loves Sauce Gardner. I mean, everything
(30:31):
on paper looks great and if it wasn't the Jets,
you'd say, wow, this is a team that is next level.
We temper our expectations because we're waiting for the other
shoe to drop as you just laid out in your soliloquy.
The full podcast of like an hour and a half
of Jason Going year by year will be available later
On nineteen seventy four, they hired Lou Holtz to be
(30:53):
the head coach. But the thing that it doesn't operate
in a vacuum. You've still got a very difficult division
to navigate, not let alone the rest of that schedule. Right, So,
as much as it can look good on paper, one
injury changes everything. We watch that the war of attrition
in all these sports, and with the Jets playing in Division,
Miami's no no cakewalk. Even the Patriots that everybody wants
(31:16):
to hate on, they're gonna be a pain in the ass.
You know that defensively.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Can handle success. They just can't. It's your faulting.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
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.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
live from the tie rack dot Com studios. And it's
so awesome. Right now, NFL Network, we're playing the Hall
of Fame game. We're just about to see Zach Wilson's
fifty seven yard pass. Zack Attack, Zack a taga lose
you zagatag Hey, you're back on board.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
They would take one pass and all of a sudden
you'd be jumping up and down like a lunatic.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
We're gonna see the big highlight coming up. That's all
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Then you started yelling Zack attack, and you were not
talking about sat Zack.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Maybe I was talking about Zach Morris. Maybe I was
when you wake up every month. Uh yeah, look at this,
there it goes. Look at that pass. Oh, look at
that pass. It could have been a touchdown. Rogers had
a good run. Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, just with that throw.
(32:28):
We spent a lot of time talking about the Jets
night and obviously with their Super Bowl expectations Aaron Rodgers, Yes,
they get the lion's share of the of the attention. However,
tonight we watched the Browns and Dorian Thompson Robinson out
of UCLA finally has left UCLA, had a good run. Yeah,
and he had a pretty nice night tonight, led the
Browns to a late couple of scoring drives. They were
able to pull out this game twenty one to sixteen
(32:50):
over the Jets, Right, so that's good news. They showed
this game a lot of Deshaun Watson on the sideline
with all the other starters. And just to understand, we
talked about Dak Prescott having a lot of pressure on
him this year to perform. Sure, no one has any
more pressure on him to perform at quarterback than Dak Prescott. Yeah,
(33:13):
no practice today, more interceptions, baby. There is no team
under more pressure to have their quarterback succeed this year
than the Browns because Deshaun Watson's got two hundred and thirty
million dollars guaranteed no matter when they cut him, but
he after coming back. This is a guy that played
no football in twenty twenty one, played six games last year,
(33:34):
and when he came back, he looked bad. He didn't
look like the same guy he was. Inaccurate. Now, certainly
you're gonna think there's gonna be some kind of inaccuracies.
Haven't played football a while, But the world is not
littered with a bunch of guys who spends so much
time away from football and come back and dominate. This
is someone who last year in six games, seven touchdowns,
five picks. His quarterback rating was under eighty, which is
(33:56):
among the worst in the NFL. Right now, he doesn't care.
He's got two and thirty million dollars guaranteed, right He's
got like a dead cap at this year of like
two hundred and twelve million dollars. But there is no
team under more pressure to have their quarterback succeed in
the Browns because they are stuck if Deshaun Watson is
not who he was before his suspension, before everything else
(34:17):
that happened. They are absolutely stuck because there's no moving
on from him because they decided to guarantee him all
the money going forward. They are really as much as
they loll things are great, No, they're really nervous because
you know they expected a different guy on the field
when he finally hit the field the last six games
of last year.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Well, and that's the thing, right you had is self
imposed and operation shutdown in Houston that people conveniently forget.
And that's a whole year that he didn't play football,
not recovering from injury. Not do you know any of that,
But it's now the curiosity and you have a roster
that that's intriguing, right. You still have Nick Chubb running
(34:54):
the football, and Joku's there, Amari Cooper, we love Donovan,
People's Jones the guy to look at, and you brought
in Tillman, so you've got some depth. Offensive lines usually
pretty strong, so it all settles up. But we look
at the AFC North, cannibalization is there.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
There's no easy.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Game in that conference. And I know you're not a
big Kenny Pickett fan, but the roster in Pittsburgh strong.
Always Roger Pittsburgh. There are organizational stability. They're always going
to be a tough out. Cincinnati, Joe Burrow is going
to be just fine in a matter of a couple
of weeks. So you're not running a hide. And Baltimore
is retooled and reinvigorated, and that offense isn't gonna be
(35:36):
three yards and a cloud of dust anymore. And hey,
hopefully Lamar Jackson can make a big play. A lot
of pressure on Deshaun Watson. I think it fails miserably
and Haslam's left hold in the bag and he created
a lot of problems and you know, a lot of
hand ringing over that contract. Gonna be more of it
as the season wears. He likes pressure though, guys, Yeah,
(35:57):
we'll see, we'll see it.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
We'll see how much press. And again he's getting paid.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
He's getting the money.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
This is on the we have kind of oh he've
got we've kind of could be screwed ourselves with this
contract here. Coming up next, we get back into a
big developing story out of football. This is Fox Sports

(00:51):
Big update and Major League Baseball want to get to
here before we get to the night of the Hall
of Fame game. The Angels on the cusp of another win.
They lead the Mariners three to one in the top
of the ninth inning. However, the Mariners have the bases
loaded and nobody out. I'll make it one out. Hernandez
just struck out swinging. Why is this game a big deal,
(01:14):
well show. He Otani started for the Angels tonight, but
left the game as a pitcher after four innings with
cramping in his pitching hand. Stating the game homeward in
the eighth inning his fortieth fortieth to give the Angels
their three to one lead, hand cramps leaves the game
as a pitcher. He now has two seasons with over
(01:36):
forty home runs and now three seasons with over one
hundred and fifty strikeouts as a pitcher. I mean, this
is every day.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's that they knew.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But think about this, right, we go all through everything.
This is now the third time Otani has had to
leave a game in the last couple weeks with some
kind of cramping. And this is cramping in his hand.
And I want to say, dude, drink water. Where where
are the team doctors? Say?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I have some water?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I make sure, make sure.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Turning into a claw.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
What is he doing?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Hydrate? I get one of those flexer things right the bands?
You gotta stretch out what is happening? Why is he
cramping all the time? If I'll tell you, I'm sitting
here going if I'm the Ames going, hey, where's our
team doctor?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
What are you doing to this guy. You know, he's
drinking electrolytes. Electrolytes.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't call for a lot of jobs in sports.
I do go after the trainers a lot, though, O man,
I mean the Ravens and the Chargers and plenty of
rants in the past. They both changed this offseason, you
know right now eyebrows rays there for the Angels. Someone's
got to be making sure he's fully hydrated.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I mean, I don't understand how this is in now
the third game, the third time he's had to leave
a game in the last couple of weeks with some
kind of cramping issue. And how do you still have
I don't understand. How do not after the first one?
Did you not do a full work up? Going? Okay,
here's what you need. Have you ever see the movie Idiocracy? No, well,
it's all about electrolytes. You need electrolytes. Okay, we gotta
get you that.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We got one of the most underrated films we got
the last quarter century.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's got electro lige.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Jason, you want a fun fact about that movie? Okay,
sure you down, Yeah, go ahead. Okay, So the director
of costume when they were trying to find outfits for
the futuristic people who are pretty much dumbed down in society.
They had such a hard time finding shoes. They were
trying to find something that would basically ever live the
show itself. It would never be ageless, right, So they
had to find something that was cost efficient and also
(03:29):
didn't look good. Guess what shoes they found that was
just starting up as a pop up company. Oh do
you remember the shoes they were wearing.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
This would be hang on, hang on? What were they wearing?
Hang on? Hang on? This would be early two thousands,
was it n one? No? No, okay.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
They wanted to find a shoe that they thought and
the person that was the director for I guess you
could say all of the clothing and stuff said there's
no way anybody in the future will wear these shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Were good? Do you know what they are?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Not? A?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeasy?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Did you say, Mike at New Bunce? They were cross?
Were they really? They just started they said there's no
way people will wear these? How about that? It was incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I just went to all the jokes about the No,
that was pretty good. No, I like that, and the
fact that you wear them that was good. Yeah, that
was good. No, so, yeah, I did not know that.
There my judging company, I'm gonna call you Beef Supreme.
Now we're changing your name Beef Supreme. Well remember subway
subway smith, so I can Oh, that's right, that's right.
You gotta get some free subway for because that's coming up.
(04:30):
Oh wait a minute, Oh, I think the last day
to enter was today? Did you get it in?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
No? I thought I had time. Isn't that?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Isn't that what we all say?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I thought I had time. I thought I had one
more I know I had time.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I had one more season, I had one more this.
I had one more opportunity to go see a show,
go see a concert, see a movie, see my favorite team,
and cheer them on. And I didn't do it. I
thought I had more time. You know the girl you
were gonna propose to, I thought I had more time.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
She was done.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I messed it. I thought I had more time. I
thought I.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Gotta add more time I get called for a ball.
I did to send them home and and give me
a loss.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You could have free sandwiches for lunch. I know, I
know it's my fault. It's my fault because I'm doing
I know I'm stupid.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Now we got to get into the room and just
have them become a sponsor of the show.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah yeah, okay, well we want good food though that whoa, dude,
that's not gonna help. That's not gonna help. What we dude?
Subway sandwiches are really tasty and now they slice everything.
Maybe they'll give us a slice er. I'll be able
to slic Harmon could bring in the meat. Watch Harmon
slice it. See. I bet you'd be I bet you
in a previous life, you'd have been a really good
sandwich no deli meat counter like it all guy like,
(05:45):
oh he can make the sandwiches, he can cut the meat.
Oh yeah, yeah, he'd be mikey forefingers after day one,
the slicer like he'd be like Mickey Rourke from The
Wrestler throwing me there aren't you ram Jam wrestler from
the eighties Now not me? No, that was human the
video game. But everything goes but no. But to get
(06:06):
back to electrolytes, yeah, showing a ton I me, come on,
this is the third time cramping. Okay, have a little
bit of water, Have a little water. Electrolytes something pedia
light Pedia lights like something every time a doctor says,
but yeah, pedia light really want it? Here you go
hand cramp cures. I mean it's quick, quick google Dan cramp.
What is it?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Stop the activity that causes your hand?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The activity is me throwing a baseball.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
All right, that's how you get pitch anyway, it's gotta
keep number two. Stretching muscles, okay, mussaging or rubbing the okay.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I'm sure all of those things can happen. Apply heat
or cold, I'm sure that can work out. And taking
certain vitamins and supplements may be helpful. There you go.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
See there were number six, that's which should be number one.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What's that? Increase fluid here here out See, we're doctors here,
we're dying. We're helping to solve big time medical problems.
Here for Shoo Tani, I love to get. Now, it
can't be that bad because he can still hold the
bat and still hit a home run, so it's still okay. Meanwhile, meanwhile,
as we have said this, what did I say? The
(07:10):
Angels on the Customs victory over the Mariners are winning
three one in the ninth one out bases loaded, Kate
Marlowe has just gone yickiny grand slam to give the
Mariners my marror. Remember I picked the Mariners go to
the World Series this year. Mariners lead the Angels now
five to three going to the bottom of the night.
Stam Philip or Christopher? No, it's yeah and TJ. Clearly
(07:34):
they're seeing a private eye. With Marlowe's home run here
in the ninth inning, Wow, what a kick and the
teeth there.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hu Tani leaves the game early. You battle to where
you're leading, he hits a home run and then you
you gack it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Awful grand slam from my Mariner, my Mariners in your marriage.
They have not had me back on a kJ R
since I told them the Mariners are going to the
World Series and Jay Rod's going to be the MVP.
You should go back on. You should just call in.
I was supposed to win one once a month.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But when soft he you know, just gives out the
number for callers, you should dial up under an alias
and then be like, it's me, what.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Happened to my what happened to my visit here? Why?
Why am I not on me?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Why are you doing a seth rollins? Last as you
come up to the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Hey, hold me responsible for that, Like, that's that's different.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
How ab on holding Julio Rodriguez to his two fifty one,
seventeen and fifty eight stat line.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
How about going there? Jason? Yeah, if you ever put
a whole team on your back, you'd be dehydrated too,
That's true, but that but you know, if he's literally
caring them, I know. But if you're the team doctor,
you have to know you need more stuff. Be hooking
him up to an ivy. You know how much gatorade
they have at Dodger Stadium. This is not going to
be an issue next season? Is that? What happened when
when Mookie bet shook his hand at second base, he
(08:50):
gave mccanna a bottle of gator right here, drink this.
We got plenty more with that came from showing what's
your favorite flavor? We got it for you. What do
you want them all? You're like share like blue ice?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
What do you And you think the Angels did a
lot of promotions. I mean, you're not even on the
team and we had Japanese Heritage Night when you came
to play. We're ready, We're having Electrolight Night tomorrow. You
should be on the team. You'd have electro lights to
be fine. Watch out every every fifth day they give
away Gatorade or ped light with a label that's got
(09:22):
Otani on there. So we did, we found you a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But just think about this now, Otani forty home runs
amazing on the season, his second forty home run season.
And you know, when you look at his pitching numbers,
it's not so much that he look he's a better
offensive player than he is a pitcher. Right, He's a
really good pitcher. Is he an elite, elite level pitcher? No,
(09:46):
he's honestly, he's a really good number two. Right, Like,
if you want Otani is your ace, okay, maybe you're
you're a kind of team like this, you're kind of
a playoff team like the Angels. But if Otani's your
number two pitching, okay, that's great because that's kind of
how he is. Like, well, you talk about him pitching
and hitting, there's a difference in in where he's at
(10:07):
and we see the big games he has pitched, because
he had some big games recently, but he's at games
where he gets hit pretty hard. You know, as era
is mid threes, he's not somebody that's gonna go dominate
all the time. He's not to Grom when he's on,
he's you know, he's not one of those kind of pitchers,
but he is a great number two pitcher. That that's
his ceiling right now. And oh look that's better than
anybody else obviously, but you know there is a difference
(10:29):
between his between him as a as a hitter and
as a pitcher.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
As it goes forward, Yeah, I mean you got to
punch out opportunity one fifty six coming into the game. Uh,
twenty starts three, four to three. As he said, they've
won half the games or he's picked up wins I
should say, in half of his starts at this point.
So yeah, number two, I guess would be the proper
(10:52):
way to do it. High end number two with the
occasional elite stuff. I found it interesting, you want to
do Grom the artist look at once, well was de Gram.
Look that's a guy who is as dominant like that's
how dominant. He's been the most dominant pitcher of the
past seven eight years. Yeah, and no, Todi's not that
guy on every fifth day, but the opportunity does pop
(11:16):
up with the right opponent. Look, the Tiger stink, So
that day, I take nothing away from the day, but
the opponent's bad, right, and you can go dominate a
team like that. You're not generally running through a lineup.
And this is where baseball has changed, and why when
we do get complete games of any sort, even if
(11:36):
it's a miserable outing, right and they just decide to
eat innings, I'll give the guy credit for still battling through,
because normally you don't get to see a lineup a
third time. It's just where the analytics are in baseball.
No matter how well you're going, you're gonna get get
shut down. So some of his and I'd be curious
to see from the er perspective how much of that
(11:58):
is also by the relievers coming in and surrendering the
runners on base right, the inherited runners and such. But
just the point being on the larger scale, yeah, he
would an elite player overall, we're doing ridiculous things. Has
(12:19):
those occasional moments, but on a night to night Basis
still gives up enough home runs. He leads the league
in wild pitches with twelve. So there's certainly things in
the measurements that take away just slightly from that elite
of the elite. Now, while you were saying that, I
actually applied to be the Angels team physician, so I
(12:39):
put you down as a reference, so hopefully you can
you can help me out little bit with that. No,
I mean you certainly do you know how to intake
liquids at a rapid pace?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Hey, listen, listen, when you drink diet soda, it's the
same thing as drinking water, So it's the same kind
of kind of consumption. Still drink water, but still drink water.
It's the same thing. And have electrolytes there you go,
show Hey, that'll be three hundred and seventy five dollars
you can pay on the way out.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
What's your application? Just say it just says electure like
what do you mean by that? And the Angels electri
like doctor? You have to visit our electric like doctor.
Oh yes, yes, that's Jason Smith. He's right there and
then he just sprinkles it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So yeah, I wanted to bring you that with show. Hey,
o tani. Uh. But we get back into the NFL.
The NFL is here. We saw it tonight, and I'll
tell you my big concern going forward after what we
saw on the field at the Hall of Fame game.
That's what you're Jets fans going, because when you're a Jet,
you're a Jet all the way. That's next, right, Heir
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
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 (13:45):
Darkness and fellow Aaron Rodgers. How can he throw? How
can he win? How can he get touchdouts? For the Jets.
Happy sixtieth birthday to James Headfield. Wow, that's it, nicely
done downy, California's own James Headfield.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Bring it all back together right there. Sixty sixty Yeah,
I'm old man, Damn. James Headfield is sixty's for almost
forty years. Then.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I remember when he's just getting warmed up. I remember
when they first came around, when they first broke in.
I'm thinking, wow, Kirk Hammitt's the guitar. He's only eighteen. Yeah, like,
oh my god, you would like call the other guys
are like twenty two, twenty three. It's like eighteen.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I'm like, oh my goodness, I want to go to
a museum of his horror collection. He's a big horror
film guy, so he buys all the props and and
and hangs out with the all the artists that do
that work.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
When's that a dueling stage concert of theirs at so
Far here right after Taylor Swift. It's like Taylor Swift
got you.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Know what they want to Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You want to talk about it? Right there? Come on,
let's go now. You are missing the show tomorrow night,
Yes to go, and you're bringing your daughters to go
see Taylor. We are yes again. The only people I
know that have tickets are you and rich from season
two of The Bear. That's it. That's everybody else I know.
And Richie may or may not be my cousin. Rich
You know, no, I picture everybody in your family. But
(15:10):
season one Richie, not season two. I don't know. We
got a hybrid. We clean up pretty nicely when we
need to. I wear suits now, no, because my brothers
wear suits for work every day. So you know, they
can be Richie or they can be Richie season one Richie,
season one rich Yeah, they bridge that pretty well. Metallica
is here at the end of August. Guess so we
(15:30):
need to rally, but Taylor swifts first La Conscience and night. Look,
this has been the I mean, it's amazing how much
this concert has become the concert event of well, I
don't know what the last fifteen years. I mean, I
don't know think anything is more anticipated that the tickets
as expensive as this, and every night something trends differently.
Her surprise songs were this and all. I mean this.
(15:52):
She's playing the biggest venues in every city, selling out
football stadiums. It really, it's it's it's it's really unprecedent
that she can do this much and sell this many tickets,
to have this rich. A tour like this is going
to increase her net worth by almost two billion dollars.
She just gave how many millions of dollars to the people.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
They estimated fifty five million dollars Between the truck drivers
go got one hundred grand each for getting stuff set
up and to the cities, and then reportedly folks made
at least forty five fifty grand if you're part of
the crew at any level and part of the touring package,
just to take care of the people. You know, you
know the old adage and tight shirt brought it up earlier, right,
(16:33):
take care of your people, they take care of you.
It's the circle of life, and things run smoothly. What's
been curious is like all the conspiracy theories about different
dates and how things have flown flowed together.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And so she added.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
New Orleans and Indianapolis, Toronto and Miami today. But before
that it was nineteen Cities with La being the last
YEP and the final date of this leg of the
tour August ninth, next Wednesday, eighty nine, which is Big Albums,
And that's the next one in the re release, which
has just been genius.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I'm gonna own all.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I changed a line here, I added a minute there.
People are gonna buy in. Uh, it's it's just a
work of brilliance, you know me. I I love when
we get into the business sense of all of it. Obviously,
the songs and the artistry whatever is one thing. But
when you watched you know, you learn it straight from
the Mick Jagger uh London School of Economics playbook of
(17:32):
how to make this thing live and breathe and grow
as it has. I mean, it's an impressive thing. I
just want to see the spectacle of it. After all
the build up, I've started building friendship bracelets. So I'll
bring you one.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Look at you. It's like you're going to a dead show. Hey,
we're gonna exchange bracelets. Man, take this. This is great.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Well, but there you had to have a code of
which one was the good stuff that you were going.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
To use for the show.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Right, Okay, on the bracelet, here's they're actually just bracelets.
They're they're not I'm not trying to smoke.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, just making sure, you know. So you got to
put your phone number on your bracelet, like Travis ca. Yeah,
you know, I got a couple of those. Yeah, I know,
we're working on that. Uh got arrested. He was falsifying
bracelets and selling it ill I thought about that. It's
like comes with a bacon wrapped hot dog. Here he
is being let off and you see harm in his
(18:21):
purple shorts, his backwards hat as he's going back, going, Ellie,
you can drive down, drive home, drive home.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I mean, I'll have the the glitter hat is certainly there.
I was waiting on a jacket to show up that
I don't know what's gonna make it in time.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It got held up, So that kind of sucks, all right.
I mean we had it. We had our outfits to work. Man,
I know some of the jackets you wear. And maybe
that's not the worst thing that it didn't show up
because I I'll tell you the truth about it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
But it was Seth Rollins inspired the one that I
did order. Okay, Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's making
it here before we leave for the venue tomorrow. But no,
like I love the spectacle of this is why I
love going to con Sharts live events. When we go
to sports venues and new places that you see it's
a different world. And this old environment man, this community
(19:10):
thing that she's got built and generations and and this flow.
I don't know if it's kind of cool. And yes,
the Travis Kelsey thing was a good plan, just didn't
get to be executed properly, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And that's the That's the thing about Taylor Swift and
how how huge this concert tour is. We get to
the Jets and the Browns in a second. Is that
you know? I was just telling you we were talking
about our daughter's different tastes and music and look, my
daughter is is is big time into Bowie and Queen
and she listens to the Smiths and like that's just
what she likes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
That's where they're at in that age. Yeah, because Madeline's
in that same vein.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But no matter what kind of music I know, and
any of Zoe or her friends like, they all love
Taylor Swift. Doesn't matter. You can like, I really like
hip hop, I love Taylor Swift, I like rock and roll,
I like Taylor Swift. I like listening to experimental And
it doesn't matter. I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And then they fight about which album is best and
some you know, if you did the hey rank her albums? Yeah,
you know there's the that one's last?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
How can you make that one last? But how do
they relate to her music? All of it's about her breakups?
Well that's the one thing everybody knows about breakups and
and and who you're dating. That's what it's all.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Trials, tribulations and uh, you know, fighting for what you want.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
And all them in These kids are already dating. Listen, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
As long as as long as they've got enough experience
with their buddies that they've had to try to counsel
and bring back from the ledge.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Certainly plenty of that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
As long as there are our kids who have relationships
and they're gonna love rock and rolling, all kinds of
stuff doesn't matter. I mean love hate. You can sit
back and say, you know, I'd like to listen to
progressive rock, and I listen to a lot of Emerson,
Lake and Palmer, some progressive rock from the eighties like
the Alan Parsons Project, But I love Taylor Switt.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I really thought you were gonna dial up some Carnievil
number nine.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Welcome back, my friends to the show. That you know.
It took me forever when I first started listening to
ELP that Keith Emerson was not the singer. I thought
he was singing. And then I'm like, gad, Keith that, No,
Greg Lake is a singer, you idiot. I go, he
plays the gameboards, he sings. No, Greg Lake is a singer.
Oh that's my fault. Guess what song I'm cranking up
after the show? That that is that drive. We are so
(21:18):
glad you could attend. Come inside, Come inside? So where
are you out with the adult diapers? Mike? Are you good?
You all set? I'm really good. Jason didn't get the
reference there. I saw though, I saw his line. It
was just so he doesn't miss a song tomorrow. No,
I know, a half hours. It's a long concert. No,
tell Swift plays you can't go to the bathroom in
(21:39):
the middle of that. No, she's not gonna play Coma
in the middle. And where you can go? Dare you like?
It's guns and roads? Dir Oh, here comes Coma. I
got fifteen minutes. What are you talking? And go to
the bathroom and go buy a T shirt. No, you
should have done that during Paradise City Paradise, that's a
song they close with exactly. Slash plays a solo with
a guitar behind his head. He does that all time
the course of a set. Not gonna miss that. Cob.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
By the way, are we going to that? I mean
you gotta work, because I mean that's a football Sunday night.
But uh, snap Dragon Stadium down down the road.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You go, Hey, listen, I'm playing before we evens, before
we even get into that. I'm just glad that now
the Tears for Fears concerts are over right.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
No, no, no, there's still more on the z but
it's over here in La for the moment.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, But we ordered the uh, we ordered all the
audio from the concert on the show. Wait, they're not
playing tonight? Is their last show? Are they? They're playing
opposite Taylor's No. I don't think so. That would be
a good counter program. It would be very counter programming. Hey, well,
it's like how you go out of business. But when
I no, no, When I went to see uh Morris
(22:41):
Day a few months ago, it was the night that
the Lakers eliminated. It was a playoff the Warriors. It
was Yeah, so the Lakers limit and so we're we're
at the concert and we're watching the game before the
concert goes on everything else. Morris was out the game. Well,
and you were at the venue next the venue right
next to State sorry, right next to he walked underground.
I'm sure he did so, Like the venue is right
(23:03):
next to right next to the arena, and the Lakers
are playing and they win, and he comes out and
everybody's going crazy yelling, and the first thing he says is, hey, y'all,
let me ask you a question. Are you all here?
Because you couldn't get tickets in the Laker game tonight,
so he came to see me instead, and everybody starts laughing.
He goes into his first song. It's raiz those you
couldn't get tickets to the Laker games, so you came
to see me. Oh it's okay, that's what it was.
(23:25):
Now tonight speaking of tonight Hall of Fame game in
the NFL, the Jets and the Browns, No Rogers, Rogers, Rogers.
Zach Wilson makes an appearance. He's a little bit more confident,
a little bit better than he was last year. But
still the operating words there are a little bit. But
tonight was one of those celebration of the game nights.
(23:46):
All the cutaways to Aaron Rodgers walking down the halls
and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, looking
at the busts, knowing one day his head was gonna
be there, The interviews during the game, the cutaways to
him him helping Zach w Wilson every five minutes, saying, Zach, dude,
come on, man, this and this.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
And let me ask you a question about the bus thing.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Uh huh. Do you think they forced him to go
do that or did he actually wanted to do You know,
he strikes me someone that's interested in stuff like that
and want to go do it.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, as long as the camera's there to get a
good angle as he stares and yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It are you gonna be I'm gonna go to the
Hall of Fame today. Oh okay, great, like we are
you gonna go? I'm gonna go get pizza. We're gonna
follow you there too. So no, he's big.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I can't wait for that on Hard Knocks on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But the thing and watching tonight and seeing her look,
I don't care. The Jets lost. Obviously, no starters played
for either team. The closest thing that that relay resembled
the starter was Zach Wilson uh playing for the Jets.
But this is the only thing, And this is what
makes me nervous about the Jets this season. And obviously
there are you worry about injuries all this stuff. No, no,
(24:48):
what what makes me nervous is that things have gone
so well. Right. They needed a quarterback, they got Aaron Rodgers.
You needed to kill the draft the last couple of
years they did. They need to bring in a running back,
They got a running back. The wide receivers they brought
in wide receivers. They need to make sure the defensive
line is a monster. Defensive line is a monster. They
have the best pair of top two cornerbacks in the
game in Sauce Gardner and DJ Reid. But this is
(25:10):
honestly what concerns me, especially after a night like tonight
in which I watched the Jets have a big, big
celebration of them as a team. Is that for forty
years now, like I haven't watching the Jets for over
forty years, and in forty years, no matter who the
head coaches, no matter who the owner is, no matter
who the quarterback is, the Jets have never been able
to handle success nevers. As soon as they get that
(25:32):
little bit of taste of it, they go crazy over
it and they fall back to earth and they can't
figure it out again.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Now, you did get to a couple of AFC title games.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It does is incredible. It was incredible getting back there
because he was great in the playoffs. But for the
Jets have never been able to handle success. And the
Jets had success at the end of their first year
AFC championship. The next year they go to the ANFC
title game again and they lose. And then what happens
a year after that and so badly you got players
fighting on the field, and the year after that, Rex
(26:02):
Ryan's fired. They've never been able to handle success or
sustain it. And maybe it's a bit of the Little
Brother syndrome because being in New York, Hey, they get
their fair share of the headlines when they're winning. But
if the Giants are winning, guess what, the Giants get
the headlines. It's a lot closer than it is to
say like the Dodgers and the Angels, but it's still
the Giants are the longer heritage team and the Jets
have always been fighting for relevancy. But every single time
(26:26):
the Jets gain a bit of success, they can't sustain
it and it goes to their head and whatever permeates
whatever's in the water, it distilled it and they wind
up falling back to Earth and they get in a
big run. Last year, what happened? The Jets started out okay, right,
then they're seven and four and Robert Sala saying I
want receipts, look how good we are. And then what
happened to lose seven games to end the season, just
(26:48):
when things started to be okay, Hey, suddenly, yeah I
got receipts. Now we're a pretty good team. We're this
for that. Okay, stop thumping your chest because you haven't
done anything. And look what happened? They want up finishing
seven and ten. It happens. It happened with with Rex Ryan,
it happened with Todd Bowles. Just when they think, hey,
Ryan Fitzpatrick is great, well, nope, we have a horrible game.
The final year of the regular season, we lose to
(27:09):
the Bills. We don't make the playoffs. That was the
closest they've been in the playoffs in the last decade
was in twenty sixteen. And I can go all the
way back and it would be a Jets history night. Yeah,
we don't need Jets. I could go all the way back.
So every time the Jets looked like but they couldn't
sustain it. When Parcels was the coach and went to
the ANFC championship game, what happened? He quit the year
after that. That was it. He was done and and
(27:29):
the Jets couldn't figure out a way. Hey, we get
back to the playoffs in two thousand and six. Chad Pennington,
what happens? Nope, can't sustain it. It happens all the time.
They can't put together a three to five year run
of success. They can't even put together a two year
run of success. Sometimes it's just a handful of games
that they can put put it together for. And that's
why I look at I look at the team, and
I go, No, matter who they are, they can't handle it.
(27:50):
If they start out three and oh, watch what happens.
Watch the Jets try to handle three and oh and
all of a sudden, So.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You're kicking down your fourteen and three prediction, tempering your
expectations out.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh no, no dose of.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Reality to warn out you're a ten and seventeen. I mean,
look fighting for the playoffs. Look, Rogers are still that great.
So we're still fourteen to zero, and then then we'll
see everybody out. No, but that's the concern is that
they can't handle it. And how is this team with
a head coach that's still trying to find his way
and a quarterback who's going really to be the head
coach at least the head coach of the offense. Yes,
how is this all going to go? How are they
(28:23):
going to handle success? Right?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Every team handles failure differently, and sometimes teams bounce back
from it. Sometimes it winds up being a snowball effect
for you. But that's not unique to anybody, but handling success,
that's a big time Jets thing. They've never been able to.
Forty years, they've never been able to do it. Every
time they start feeling good about themselves and I start
seeing quotes in the online or about them saying, hey,
(28:45):
we're pretty good. You got to respect us. We're coming
for you. I know it's the bottom is falling out now,
and the bottom do always falls out, But you go through.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
This roster and this, you know, take the uh, take
the logo off the helmet for a minute, legitimately, And
you're gonna hate me for saying it, because it's something
we talk about every year when we start doing our breakdowns.
Most of your squad is solid, you're running back situation.
All right, we'll see right how quickly Hall is ready
(29:13):
to go? What Carter is? You had the Rookie Show
shown a little bit today in the Hall of Fame game.
But that's a position where you know Dalvin Cook coming in. Yeah,
that helps, and you're feeling really good, not just because
it's Dalvin Cook to that level, just it's a proven
commodity versus where you're at at right now. Because Brees
(29:35):
Hall looks like you could be electrifying, but is he
ready game four to take on a full load Game seven, Like,
what are we talking about in terms of his return
full time? And then obviously the offensive line when you're
talking about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Now he leaned out.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
He's gone the Tom Brady way in terms of body
composition for this year. Right, he looks mean and lean
like a greyhound getting ready to after it, which means
maybe there's still some elusiveness and some good foot work
ahead as he has to roll the pocket because he's
gonna need to with that old line that they've got
(30:11):
assembled here. Love the skill positions. You brought in some
veterans that have great knowledge of how to work and
operate with him, which is great, right familiarity. And then
you've got Garrett Wilson as you're one. You re signed
Quinn Williams to anchor the front of that d you
mentioned the secondary. Everybody loves Sauce Gardner. I mean, everything
(30:31):
on paper looks great and if it wasn't the Jets,
you'd say, wow, this is a team that is next level.
We temper our expectations because we're waiting for the other
shoe to drop as you just laid out in your soliloquy.
The full podcast of like an hour and a half
of Jason Going year by year will be available later
On nineteen seventy four, they hired Lou Holtz to be
(30:53):
the head coach. But the thing that it doesn't operate
in a vacuum. You've still got a very difficult division
to navigate, not let alone the rest of that schedule. Right, So,
as much as it can look good on paper, one
injury changes everything. We watch that the war of attrition
in all these sports, and with the Jets playing in Division,
Miami's no no cakewalk. Even the Patriots that everybody wants
(31:16):
to hate on, they're gonna be a pain in the ass.
You know that defensively.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Can handle success. They just can't. It's your faulting.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

of Fame game. We're just about to see Zach Wilson's
fifty seven yard pass. Zack Attack, Zack a taga lose
you zagatag Hey, you're back on board.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
They would take one pass and all of a sudden
you'd be jumping up and down like a lunatic.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
We're gonna see the big highlight coming up. That's all
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Then you started yelling Zack attack, and you were not
talking about sat Zack.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Maybe I was talking about Zach Morris. Maybe I was
when you wake up every month. Uh yeah, look at this,
there it goes. Look at that pass. Oh, look at
that pass. It could have been a touchdown. Rogers had
a good run. Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, just with that throw.
(32:28):
We spent a lot of time talking about the Jets
night and obviously with their Super Bowl expectations Aaron Rodgers, Yes,
they get the lion's share of the of the attention. However,
tonight we watched the Browns and Dorian Thompson Robinson out
of UCLA finally has left UCLA, had a good run. Yeah,
and he had a pretty nice night tonight, led the
Browns to a late couple of scoring drives. They were
able to pull out this game twenty one to sixteen
(32:50):
over the Jets, Right, so that's good news. They showed
this game a lot of Deshaun Watson on the sideline
with all the other starters. And just to understand, we
talked about Dak Prescott having a lot of pressure on
him this year to perform. Sure, no one has any
more pressure on him to perform at quarterback than Dak Prescott. Yeah,
(33:13):
no practice today, more interceptions, baby. There is no team
under more pressure to have their quarterback succeed this year
than the Browns because Deshaun Watson's got two hundred and thirty
million dollars guaranteed no matter when they cut him, but
he after coming back. This is a guy that played
no football in twenty twenty one, played six games last year,
(33:34):
and when he came back, he looked bad. He didn't
look like the same guy he was. Inaccurate. Now, certainly
you're gonna think there's gonna be some kind of inaccuracies.
Haven't played football a while, But the world is not
littered with a bunch of guys who spends so much
time away from football and come back and dominate. This
is someone who last year in six games, seven touchdowns,
five picks. His quarterback rating was under eighty, which is
(33:56):
among the worst in the NFL. Right now, he doesn't care.
He's got two and thirty million dollars guaranteed, right He's
got like a dead cap at this year of like
two hundred and twelve million dollars. But there is no
team under more pressure to have their quarterback succeed in
the Browns because they are stuck if Deshaun Watson is
not who he was before his suspension, before everything else
(34:17):
that happened. They are absolutely stuck because there's no moving
on from him because they decided to guarantee him all
the money going forward. They are really as much as
they loll things are great, No, they're really nervous because
you know they expected a different guy on the field
when he finally hit the field the last six games
of last year.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Well, and that's the thing, right you had is self
imposed and operation shutdown in Houston that people conveniently forget.
And that's a whole year that he didn't play football,
not recovering from injury. Not do you know any of that,
But it's now the curiosity and you have a roster
that that's intriguing, right. You still have Nick Chubb running
(34:54):
the football, and Joku's there, Amari Cooper, we love Donovan,
People's Jones the guy to look at, and you brought
in Tillman, so you've got some depth. Offensive lines usually
pretty strong, so it all settles up. But we look
at the AFC North, cannibalization is there.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
There's no easy.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Game in that conference. And I know you're not a
big Kenny Pickett fan, but the roster in Pittsburgh strong.
Always Roger Pittsburgh. There are organizational stability. They're always going
to be a tough out. Cincinnati, Joe Burrow is going
to be just fine in a matter of a couple
of weeks. So you're not running a hide. And Baltimore
is retooled and reinvigorated, and that offense isn't gonna be
(35:36):
three yards and a cloud of dust anymore. And hey,
hopefully Lamar Jackson can make a big play. A lot
of pressure on Deshaun Watson. I think it fails miserably
and Haslam's left hold in the bag and he created
a lot of problems and you know, a lot of
hand ringing over that contract. Gonna be more of it
as the season wears. He likes pressure though, guys, Yeah,
(35:57):
we'll see, we'll see it.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
We'll see how much press. And again he's getting paid.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
He's getting the money.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
This is on the we have kind of oh he've
got we've kind of could be screwed ourselves with this
contract here. Coming up next, we get back into a
big developing story out of football. This is Fox Sports
