Well.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Everything a final now in Major League Baseball, we have
more on the biggest win of the night coming up
in a bit. But every day it's there's something new, Mike.
With all the college football realignment, sure, and today Greg Sankee,
commissioner of the SEC, said that he was saddened to
see what's going on with the PAC twelve as it dissolves. Right,
(01:15):
you feel he's really he feels yes, he's so. Oh,
I feel sad the PAC twelve is dissolved. Greg Sankie
probably didn't know the PAC twelve was still around until
I told him. Oh, I didn't that disappear a few
years ago? And Larry Scott really, Oh no, it's wow.
I feel sad that it's uh, it's it's being mis mad.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's been a two conference race for a while. What
are we talking?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's us in the Big ten, the Big twelve still around. Really,
the Big twelve is still why. Good for them, welcome
back in after after Oklahoma and Texas probably really they're
still right, Okay, they're great. Uh So you have a
lot of things that are happening now, and the dissolusion
of the PAC twelve is chief among them. And we're
still waiting to see where the final UH teams are
(01:56):
gonna end up. The ACC having meetings about Callan, Stanford,
Washington State, and Oregon State are going I'll please, somebody
help us.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Really, what about me?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well, just help us, just please. It isn't fair, Uh,
but this is what I look. College football moves at
a break neck pace. I'm gonna give you a really
hot take coming up in a second.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It is it is.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's like college football is like snow piercer, that train
that just keeps going around as fast as possibly can,
and it's got to keep moving and it doesn't stop,
and it's if it stops, everybody dies. And it's like
it's moving at a breakneck pace and there is no
one to at the emergency break to say is this
good for the company? I mean, it may be good
(02:44):
for my company, but is this good for the company?
Meaning is it good for all of college football? And
while something may be good for Oregon and Washington, is
it good for Oregon State, Washington State? Is it good
for the Pac twelve? There's a lot of people that
it's not good for. For every team that's something like realignment,
it's good for there's a team that it's bad for,
but nobody cares about that because I care about my
(03:07):
team and I'm getting invited to go places.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We've talked about this. If college football had a commissioner,
things would be a lot different. But nobody has to
answer to anyone, which is why college football change is
at a breakneck pace. Just think about everything that's going
on in the last year and a half from nil
to Oklahoma and Texas leaving to now USC and UCLA
(03:30):
leaving and now or what College football changes very regularly.
And when I say college football changes every five minutes,
I mean college football changes is about every five minutes.
If I said to you, what are the odds that
let's just take USC and UCLA, for example, because they're
going to play this final year in the Pac ten
and then in the Pac twelve or the Pack two,
(03:51):
and then they're moving on to the Big Ten, which
will wind up being the Big twenty. If I said
to you, what are the odds that USC and UCLA
never play in the Big ten? Not because they're gonna
stay with the Pac twelve. They're not gonna suddenly go, hey,
sorry guys, Yeah we know, boy, we didn't know us
really leave was gonna screw you, so we're coming back. No,
(04:12):
But what if I said they will never play a
game in the Big ten because something else will come
along in the next three hundred and sixty five days
that will change all of it. Whether it's a new
conference that's gonna take the best of the best teams,
whether it's a big super conference where teams say we
could take this TV money that we're earning, and we
(04:32):
can double it if we make one big super conference.
You can't tell me it's not. It can't happen because
there's no rules. All you need is one school president
to meet with another school president and then some ads
to get together in one conference commission another conference. And
this is how it changes, right, This changes so fast.
You can't tell me this breakneck pace isn't odd. That's great. No,
(04:53):
what we've seen has been crazy from nil money to
transfer us to this. If I told you in three
hundred it's gonna to be about three hundred and eighty
five days between now on the start of next year,
the odds at USC and UCLA don't play a game
in the Pac ten because something better and different will
come along. It could be in a complete reorganization of conferences,
(05:15):
which is what we're doing. We're gonna take all this
TV money now and the Big ten is gonna fold
in with the Pac twelve and we're doing this and
we're redoing them. It's gonna be more money here in
this conference. And this is out the window. There something
new coming up. What would you say twenty percent chance,
thirty percent chance, fifty percent chance something different comes along
and college football changes again, and these teams we don't
(05:37):
see jumping to the new conferences.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You know me, I love your saying there's a chance.
And look, at this point, we know the NCAA as
an entity. I mean, come on, it's it's a joke
at this point, right, and has been for a long time.
We've been very critical of the processes and procedures and
(06:00):
interpretations of rules forever. The stuff we saw in the
last couple of months are about his dart throwing. As
it gets everybody throws up their hands about nil and
goes and runs to their favorite congress congressmen or congress
woman to beg and plead for a help in their
individual states. But we look at what in Tennessee, here's
(06:22):
two hundred fractions. It's an eight million dollar fine.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
We're gonna take away those wins. Nobody really cares, but
we're going to take away those wins. Oh and the
scholarship reductions, Ah, you kind of helped us out. So
guess what, only two per year the next couple of years,
you go about your way. You had a great year
this year. Good luck in twenty three Michigan, Hey, Harbaugh
did some things. What are we doing? We're going to
negotiate with him on the terms of a suspension. What
(06:55):
do you mean we're going to negotiate with him? The
NC bleep in double A used to come down with
iron fist death batalies. Now it's like, hey, will you
please accept this? So we look like we still have
some kind of clout. So whenever anybody talks about his ar,
it's like, yeah, you once had this all powerful institution
and they've been rendered, you know, as a powerless entity.
(07:19):
At this point, they're done. It's moved on. It's all
in the hands of these commissioners. Greg Sanche's just laughing.
He went up there and do you think I can
keep a straight face? How many times you think you
rehearsed that we're sorry to see what went down? How
many times did he look into a camera and record it.
It's like when you go to do a quick video,
it's like, you know, the people on Instagram, whatever, No
(07:39):
that was one take. It's like, no, my ass, that
was one tape. You did that. You lit it, you
ReLit it, you cobbled it together. Here you're wearing a
different shade of eye eyeshadow, all of these things, and
you go through and it's like, yeah, believe me. He's
like no, Behind the scenes, he's plotting his next machiavellian move.
(08:01):
It's all a strategy game. It's him, It's the Big
ten and their new commissioner as they move forward and
they're trying to figure out what pieces can be picked
off relatively cheaply. Hey, Florida State, you went public with that.
What's really gonna be your buyout? Because they want to
hold you to that twenty thirty six, twenty thirty six,
(08:23):
which is worse Larry Scott in the PAC twelve presidents
and the dopiness they did. Or Hey, you're locked in
for fifteen years in a changing landscape and you'll only
get your moderate increase based on you know, ratings and
everything else. I mean, two dumb conferences in terms of
the deals that they put in. But you wanted your longevity.
(08:44):
How much is it going to cost to get you out?
And what are you really worth if we do? That's
where Sankee's next mind is, Is there a possibility in
the next year. Sure, I'd give it a snowballs chance.
In hell, I think it plays out a little longer.
But as of right now, now, be aggressive, Be aggressive.
I put nothing past these guys. When there's billions of
dollars at stake, everything else comes secondary.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But let's just say this now, if you let's just say,
if you think it could come later, what if? Right,
I'm just saying, what if in the next year an
idea is tabled and is put on, We're gonna have this.
This is what's going to happen super fin a year,
the Big Twelve and the Big Ten are going to
(09:30):
unite in a super conference and it's going to be
these schools from the Big Ten and these schools from
the Big twelve, and we're gonna get best of the best.
We've decided to combine to battle the SEC, and we're
gonna have two super conferences. And so what we're gonna
have now is well, USC and USA, they're no longer
(09:52):
gonna be in the Big Ten. They're gonna be in
the Big ten Big twelve mix that we're gonna have
coming up in a year, because the Big Twelve is
gonna want to stay around, So we're gonna we're not
gonna play a Big ten schedule. We're gonna play a
Pac twelve schedule again, Like I that could happen, Sure
I could see it. Yeah, and cause you're not gonna
go play a Big ten schedule just to play a
Big ten for one. You know you're gonna wait and
(10:13):
then go here and then the Pac twelve all stick
around for another year of another year, the Rose Bowl
as we know it, and all these things happen. Like
that's something I would put that at like a thirty
to forty percent chance, just because look at the changes
of college football in the last year and look where
we are right now. All you need is that kind
of meaning, All you need is the Big twelve to say, hey,
(10:33):
we're happy we got the teams we do, but man,
the SEC has what they have and the Big Ten
we could really get pushed out if we don't get
the teams from the ACC. If Florida State and Miami
and Clemson don't want to come to us, Hey, Big ten,
what do you think about this? Boy? We can really
do something right here and have a big super conference.
Or you could see the SEC decide to say you
(10:54):
know what. Hey, acc Yeah, we're gonna fold some of
you guys in to our conference, and we're gonna wind
up doing this and then we're in four conference to territory.
I mean really, I mean anything, any of those things
can happen because nothing moves as fast and is as
out of control as college football because there's no regulation
(11:14):
to it. There's no one. There's no one to say, well, stop,
this has to be done. No, stop, you can't do this.
Because if there was a lot of these moves would
have been hang on a second, let's see if this
works out for the best for us. If you want
to move, you want to go here, But there's no leadership.
And eventually what this means is when you have everybody
grabbing for what they want, it's anarchy. I mean, this
(11:36):
is a case study in anarchy right now. And when
it comes to the sense of what college football is,
this is absolute anarchy. There's no one calling the shots.
It's like that Dave Chappelle's skit of if life was
the Internet and he had Napster and everybody's running in
and out and the bells are going off and people
are just stealing stuff, Like that's what college football is
(11:57):
it's absolutely this is a lesson in hey, what is
a sport? Like if there was no leadership and it
was anarchy, that's college football, And anything can happen when
there's anarchy.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, I think it comes down to the same premise,
and it's the running thread and it may be a
cliche and folks might just dismiss it and go, yeah,
what are you gonna do? I mean, we're at the
point where it's a all right, what is what's the cost?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
We do the cost benefit analysis of this and all
the other and I hear all the coaches saving and
down the line, but think of tradition. Come on, so
many things have changed. Bowl affiliations right now we're getting
proposals of well, you can appear in the Bowl with
someone in your conference, so long as you didn't play
(12:43):
them during the season. Like, there's so many different things
that are being twisted and turned on a year to
year basis. And we've always had movement. It's just usually
been on a glacial pace where it's like, all right,
there's the long lead. We've announced this teams joining us
in two to three years, right Penn State to the
Big Ten, Rutgers when they came in all this it
(13:06):
wasn't immediate. It's like, hey, you guess what it's like,
you know the draft lottery and you pull back the logo,
it's like they're joining the conference in the fall, Welcome in. No,
because you got schedules, you've got all of that, you
got to play. But let's face it, we're in a
society that we get everything as fast as you can
microwave you know, your cup of coffee or whatever it
(13:29):
is you're you know, soften the ice cream so you
can eat it more quickly, whatever, whatever your pleasure is
there that the same thing happens here. How quickly can
we run the numbers and get the get all of
the details in order, and so part of it becomes
the all right, what you've already started to go down
the road with the playoff system, can you fast track
(13:51):
that to change it out if you need to, based
on the renavigation reconstitution of these these conferences and the holdovers.
But I mean that that's really the only obstacle here
is getting everybody in a room and then having the
different commissioners not having to seed large chunks of money,
(14:15):
because that's all we're doing now we're breaking bad and
everybody's laying down on a pile of money. It's just
a matter of how high it is from the floor.
Speaker 2 (14:23):

forty five grand.

Yes, tell me.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I thought, like they're getting one hundred and seventy grand.
What were they making? But they make one hundred and
forty five thousand dollars a year. I would not even
go to college. I would say I'm getting on that
list and I'm gonna be a UPS driver.

mailbox might show up though?

Now, people stealing my ice cream the last couple of
weeks until I had to figure out and say, hey,
stop stealing my ice cream. Did they stop though, Yeah,
because I've had the same pint of ice cream for
the past like five or six days. I'm seeing a
little bit every night, and the.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Whole one is in there, or maybe they've eaten the
rest of it, replaced it and eaten just enough to
where you think it's the same level you're actually eating.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I don't know somebody who's sitting close to me that
threw away your ice cream.

Right?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Very good? Okay, very good?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
All right? Kind of did he did break character though
ty shirt, because he did get to get up to
watch the futility of the women's national team on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, that was fun, man, I'm telling you, for all
of that all they lost this it was fun getting
up at two o'clock in the morning to watch a
sporting event.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It was all about the community of it all. Man.
It's like I was telling you what the Taylor Swift show.
You may like some albums better than others, you may
not like it at all, but you gotta.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Love the energy.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Likewise, the US women's national team for those that actually
watched it instead of just commenting based on what somebody
else said, like Megan.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Rapino, I'm glad they lost. They lost, rightn't. I didn't
watch the game. I just want to complain about the.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Jason, you felt right at home watching the loss. I watch.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, you know what I wonder if you went all
the way through my life and in that case, what's
what's the record of my teams and games I have
watched on TV? Is my teams are my.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
One hundred thousand below five?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Is it like a three hundred winning percentage? Is it
a four hundred winning percentage? Is it a four to
fifty winning percentage, because I know it's not five hundred.
There's no way the Mets, the Jets, the Knicks and
Syracuse have what I mean, Syracuse hang on, well, Syracuse
had won you know, twenty five games a year, payell,
but they but all they got to Yeah, no, but
all they gotta do is, men, how many times I
(20:38):
watch the next No, the number of games I watch?
What's the winning percentage of my teams I've watched on TV?
I know it's under five hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
I know that's that's probably absolutely accurate. What's funny is
you know I'm now having the vision. You know how
they say at the end of your life, you know,
right before you take your final breath, there everything in
front of your eyes. Okay, like for you, it's just
the swirling l and a montage of all the players.
It's all that you remember from your career. And then
(21:07):
I mean, look, Pam and Zoe will show up, Walt'll
make a cameo, your mom. No, you'll have some family
and friends, maybe Frostburg ty shirt and I up here
flipping you off. But it's gonna be a lot of
else just going and look for my teams I'm gonna
have that same nightmare.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
So it was really just the same thing, only going
to see Buddy Ryan be brought off the field and
he won the Super Bowl, and I got that, and
I got two thousand and five losing my voice in
Game two of the World Series.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Beyond that, I got nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Hey, Frostburg, Harmon's talking about the end. Let's get ready
to interview new hosts. If something happens to Harmon.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
All right, I'll call Richard Sherman.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Well, he's only working so many days with SKIP, he'll
have some time.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, fifty to one hundred days. It's like I'll get
you know, listen, if Tyscher's not gonna be a ups driver,
he can come on the show and talk about anime
for a while. So we'll be good to go.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
We get way, We hit a whole of her market then.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Uh. Speaking of shows, the latest hot NFL show on
Netflix is Johnny Manzel, the show that he has put
out now detailing his career and what happened to him
in the NFL. He turned into one of the biggest
draft bus ever. Made some news last week in which
(22:20):
he said, yeah, you know, I contemplated suicide. I attempted
suicide during a bender. This is during his NFL days,
not in college, and every week I'm told is going
to have a different bit on Manzel's career, and his
career is fascinating to go over because he was a
can't miss guy. He was charismatic, he was a Heisman
(22:40):
Trophy winner. Everybody had interest in his career. It never
happened for him for a lot of reasons, a lot
of them self inflicted. The most recent episode just came
out a few hours ago, and we're going to play
this audio for you and it is an absolute must listen.
Now you've heard about how teams want to make sure
that play are watching film when they're not on campus
(23:04):
with the team. Now, you can watch during film sessions,
but we want you to watch film at home because
you're a quarterback. You got to make sure you know everything. Well,
apparently the team gave Johnny Manziel an iPad to help
him watch film when he was away from the franchise.
This is Johnny Manziel's agent recalling a conversation he had
(23:25):
with the Browns GM about how the Browns knew Johnny
Manziel was not watching video and not watching game film
away from the team.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Their gms calling me, going, he didn't watch tape. I'm like, well,
he's got to watch some tape.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's like ebie.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
His iPad hours is zero point zero, zero.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Zero And that was Johnny. At the end. They had
a way to track what he was watching because it
was a team issued iPad, and they tracked the hours
that he spent watching film and they can tell that
it was zero and zero. Not one second of film
did Johnny Manzel watch when he was away from the team.
(24:06):
And I like the agent gold, well, he's got to
watch some film. And it's like, that's even wrong. The
dude has to watch a lot of films. We could
be a good question. Well he's got to watch some right,
he's got to be something. What do you calling me here?
This about No, it's zero point zero. We're tracking the
iPad and he has not watched one second of film.
And Manzell confirmed this is part of the doc. Yeah,
I didn't watch a second of game film when I
(24:28):
was a quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
That's absolutely amazing. It says so much and confirms a
lot of what was kind of thrown out as theoretical
right in terms of prep and the analyzing things. Go
oh to his background in history. Right, we're talking about
you know, when you've got stuff to fall back on.
(24:52):
Are you as hungry early success? Are you as hungry?
I mean it speaks to some of the other stories
in the NFL. Oh, you know, you and I you know,
we remember vividly all the stuff with JaMarcus Russell and
certainly the Kyler Murray most recently. Right playing video games?
Or is he actually watching film and doing the work.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
This is unbreakable?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
What you said, Mike was unbreakable?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Well, I was going down. I mean it was really inspiring,
I think to the masses. So you come along for
the ride. But it's just that thing, right, when you
have early success in anything, do you keep applying? You know,
the pressure and working to get better and the nuance
some do? Right, how do I get to that elite level?
(25:42):
I want to be him or her or whatever the
case is, depending on the profession or academic pursuits or
whatever it is. In this case, it's all right. Maybe
you want to have a career like Brady, Maybe you
want to be Rogers, your guy in jets Land, or
maybe you're just satisfied. You climb the mountain, you won
(26:02):
a Heisman Trophy, you were drafted in the first round.
All of these things that play together, and you're satisfied,
you become complacent. So doing that extra work, Hey, if
it works out, great, If not, I already got my
novelty check and I'll always be able to sign autographs
as a Heisman winner for a hundred bucks a pop.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You know, the thing is, I remember a couple of
NFL players telling me a long time ago saying that
you always have to watch out for someone who was
a little bit unexpected having success right away, because if
that happens, they don't put in the work to get better.
And it's not like a star coming into the league.
But Johnny Manziel who nobody knew who the guy was,
(26:40):
and suddenly, all of a sudden, here he is Texas
A and m he beats Alabama, he wins the Heisman Trophy.
The guy's a superstar. And he was someone who was
a great instinctual player, one of the best instinctual players
I've ever seen. And you can get by in college
that way, you can get by doing that. You can't
get by that way in the NFL. But the issue
is when you have that success so early, you don't think,
(27:03):
now I have to work hard. If you don't have
that hard work ingrained in you, nothing's going to make
you start doing it. You think, well, I'm getting to
the NFL. Yeah, they're gonna want me to watch film
and all this stuff. I'm fine. I got this. I've
succeeded my whole life putting in the bare minimum because
I'm so athletically gifted and instinctually, I've been able to
do this. There's no reason why I think I can't
(27:25):
do it in the NFL. So no, you don't get
that big hard work right. The story about JaMarcus Russell
about how they gave him DVDs and they know he
never opened it because they put one hundred dollars billion
there and he never said anything. The story they made
it to draft day. Yeah, and you know you hear
all these things. This is out. When you don't have
that work ethic, you're not going to do it. And
(27:45):
the other thing is when you don't take what you
do for a living seriously enough, you're never going to
succeed at it. Some people are fortunate enough to be
able to just skate by doing the bare minimum, taking
a job where hey, I don't really care about this,
but people like what I do, so I can do it.
There's a couple of guys that can do it, and
a couple of people that can do it. But by
and large, if you don't take what you do seriously,
(28:06):
you're not going to be successful at it because there's
a lot of other people creatively and the NFL is
a job that I can say, is something creative that
you do. It's not going in and you're not pushing
pencils or working with numbers. No, you're doing something that
you're judged by the you can see tangible results of
what works and what doesn't. There are always other people
that are going to take what they do more seriously.
(28:27):
They're going to outwork you and they're going to be
the ones that succeed. And this is everything that came
into Johnny Manziel and what we're doing right now, unfortunately,
is we're just getting a validation of how we all
thought Johnny Manziel's career was going. Did this surprise you
today when you heard that you never watched a second
of tape? But no, of course not right. You're just
were getting everything we thought about Johnny Manziel right now
(28:49):
with this story and what's going on right now with
this last episode of Untold.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Just confirmed all the theories. Right. Everybody always questioned that
work ethic, and you'd hear the little whisperings and battles,
you know, publicly and social media and whatever else. This
just says, Okay, yeah, I guess you were right. He
wasn't working hard enough, Like I guess we always just
assume guys are going to take full advantage of opportunities,
just like we always convince people and convince that people
(29:16):
in charge actually know what they're doing. Both of those
are wrong, people. Both of those are absolutely wrong

Well.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Everything a final now in Major League Baseball, we have
more on the biggest win of the night coming up
in a bit. But every day it's there's something new, Mike.
With all the college football realignment, sure, and today Greg Sankee,
commissioner of the SEC, said that he was saddened to
see what's going on with the PAC twelve as it dissolves. Right,
(01:15):
you feel he's really he feels yes, he's so. Oh,
I feel sad the PAC twelve is dissolved. Greg Sankie
probably didn't know the PAC twelve was still around until
I told him. Oh, I didn't that disappear a few
years ago? And Larry Scott really, Oh no, it's wow.
I feel sad that it's uh, it's it's being mis mad.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's been a two conference race for a while. What
are we talking?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's us in the Big ten, the Big twelve still around. Really,
the Big twelve is still why. Good for them, welcome
back in after after Oklahoma and Texas probably really they're
still right, Okay, they're great. Uh So you have a
lot of things that are happening now, and the dissolusion
of the PAC twelve is chief among them. And we're
still waiting to see where the final UH teams are
(01:56):
gonna end up. The ACC having meetings about Callan, Stanford,
Washington State, and Oregon State are going I'll please, somebody
help us.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Really, what about me?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well, just help us, just please. It isn't fair, Uh,
but this is what I look. College football moves at
a break neck pace. I'm gonna give you a really
hot take coming up in a second.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It is it is.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's like college football is like snow piercer, that train
that just keeps going around as fast as possibly can,
and it's got to keep moving and it doesn't stop,
and it's if it stops, everybody dies. And it's like
it's moving at a breakneck pace and there is no
one to at the emergency break to say is this
good for the company? I mean, it may be good
(02:44):
for my company, but is this good for the company?
Meaning is it good for all of college football? And
while something may be good for Oregon and Washington, is
it good for Oregon State, Washington State? Is it good
for the Pac twelve? There's a lot of people that
it's not good for. For every team that's something like realignment,
it's good for there's a team that it's bad for,
but nobody cares about that because I care about my
(03:07):
team and I'm getting invited to go places.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We've talked about this. If college football had a commissioner,
things would be a lot different. But nobody has to
answer to anyone, which is why college football change is
at a breakneck pace. Just think about everything that's going
on in the last year and a half from nil
to Oklahoma and Texas leaving to now USC and UCLA
(03:30):
leaving and now or what College football changes very regularly.
And when I say college football changes every five minutes,
I mean college football changes is about every five minutes.
If I said to you, what are the odds that
let's just take USC and UCLA, for example, because they're
going to play this final year in the Pac ten
and then in the Pac twelve or the Pack two,
(03:51):
and then they're moving on to the Big Ten, which
will wind up being the Big twenty. If I said
to you, what are the odds that USC and UCLA
never play in the Big ten? Not because they're gonna
stay with the Pac twelve. They're not gonna suddenly go, hey,
sorry guys, Yeah we know, boy, we didn't know us
really leave was gonna screw you, so we're coming back. No,
(04:12):
But what if I said they will never play a
game in the Big ten because something else will come
along in the next three hundred and sixty five days
that will change all of it. Whether it's a new
conference that's gonna take the best of the best teams,
whether it's a big super conference where teams say we
could take this TV money that we're earning, and we
(04:32):
can double it if we make one big super conference.
You can't tell me it's not. It can't happen because
there's no rules. All you need is one school president
to meet with another school president and then some ads
to get together in one conference commission another conference. And
this is how it changes, right, This changes so fast.
You can't tell me this breakneck pace isn't odd. That's great. No,
(04:53):
what we've seen has been crazy from nil money to
transfer us to this. If I told you in three
hundred it's gonna to be about three hundred and eighty
five days between now on the start of next year,
the odds at USC and UCLA don't play a game
in the Pac ten because something better and different will
come along. It could be in a complete reorganization of conferences,
(05:15):
which is what we're doing. We're gonna take all this
TV money now and the Big ten is gonna fold
in with the Pac twelve and we're doing this and
we're redoing them. It's gonna be more money here in
this conference. And this is out the window. There something
new coming up. What would you say twenty percent chance,
thirty percent chance, fifty percent chance something different comes along
and college football changes again, and these teams we don't
(05:37):
see jumping to the new conferences.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You know me, I love your saying there's a chance.
And look, at this point, we know the NCAA as
an entity. I mean, come on, it's it's a joke
at this point, right, and has been for a long time.
We've been very critical of the processes and procedures and
(06:00):
interpretations of rules forever. The stuff we saw in the
last couple of months are about his dart throwing. As
it gets everybody throws up their hands about nil and
goes and runs to their favorite congress congressmen or congress
woman to beg and plead for a help in their
individual states. But we look at what in Tennessee, here's
(06:22):
two hundred fractions. It's an eight million dollar fine.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
We're gonna take away those wins. Nobody really cares, but
we're going to take away those wins. Oh and the
scholarship reductions, Ah, you kind of helped us out. So
guess what, only two per year the next couple of years,
you go about your way. You had a great year
this year. Good luck in twenty three Michigan, Hey, Harbaugh
did some things. What are we doing? We're going to
negotiate with him on the terms of a suspension. What
(06:55):
do you mean we're going to negotiate with him? The
NC bleep in double A used to come down with
iron fist death batalies. Now it's like, hey, will you
please accept this? So we look like we still have
some kind of clout. So whenever anybody talks about his ar,
it's like, yeah, you once had this all powerful institution
and they've been rendered, you know, as a powerless entity.
(07:19):
At this point, they're done. It's moved on. It's all
in the hands of these commissioners. Greg Sanche's just laughing.
He went up there and do you think I can
keep a straight face? How many times you think you
rehearsed that we're sorry to see what went down? How
many times did he look into a camera and record it.
It's like when you go to do a quick video,
it's like, you know, the people on Instagram, whatever, No
(07:39):
that was one take. It's like, no, my ass, that
was one tape. You did that. You lit it, you
ReLit it, you cobbled it together. Here you're wearing a
different shade of eye eyeshadow, all of these things, and
you go through and it's like, yeah, believe me. He's
like no, Behind the scenes, he's plotting his next machiavellian move.
(08:01):
It's all a strategy game. It's him, It's the Big
ten and their new commissioner as they move forward and
they're trying to figure out what pieces can be picked
off relatively cheaply. Hey, Florida State, you went public with that.
What's really gonna be your buyout? Because they want to
hold you to that twenty thirty six, twenty thirty six,
(08:23):
which is worse Larry Scott in the PAC twelve presidents
and the dopiness they did. Or Hey, you're locked in
for fifteen years in a changing landscape and you'll only
get your moderate increase based on you know, ratings and
everything else. I mean, two dumb conferences in terms of
the deals that they put in. But you wanted your longevity.
(08:44):
How much is it going to cost to get you out?
And what are you really worth if we do? That's
where Sankee's next mind is, Is there a possibility in
the next year. Sure, I'd give it a snowballs chance.
In hell, I think it plays out a little longer.
But as of right now, now, be aggressive, Be aggressive.
I put nothing past these guys. When there's billions of
dollars at stake, everything else comes secondary.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But let's just say this now, if you let's just say,
if you think it could come later, what if? Right,
I'm just saying, what if in the next year an
idea is tabled and is put on, We're gonna have this.
This is what's going to happen super fin a year,
the Big Twelve and the Big Ten are going to
(09:30):
unite in a super conference and it's going to be
these schools from the Big Ten and these schools from
the Big twelve, and we're gonna get best of the best.
We've decided to combine to battle the SEC, and we're
gonna have two super conferences. And so what we're gonna
have now is well, USC and USA, they're no longer
(09:52):
gonna be in the Big Ten. They're gonna be in
the Big ten Big twelve mix that we're gonna have
coming up in a year, because the Big Twelve is
gonna want to stay around, So we're gonna we're not
gonna play a Big ten schedule. We're gonna play a
Pac twelve schedule again, Like I that could happen, Sure
I could see it. Yeah, and cause you're not gonna
go play a Big ten schedule just to play a
Big ten for one. You know you're gonna wait and
(10:13):
then go here and then the Pac twelve all stick
around for another year of another year, the Rose Bowl
as we know it, and all these things happen. Like
that's something I would put that at like a thirty
to forty percent chance, just because look at the changes
of college football in the last year and look where
we are right now. All you need is that kind
of meaning, All you need is the Big twelve to say, hey,
(10:33):
we're happy we got the teams we do, but man,
the SEC has what they have and the Big Ten
we could really get pushed out if we don't get
the teams from the ACC. If Florida State and Miami
and Clemson don't want to come to us, Hey, Big ten,
what do you think about this? Boy? We can really
do something right here and have a big super conference.
Or you could see the SEC decide to say you
(10:54):
know what. Hey, acc Yeah, we're gonna fold some of
you guys in to our conference, and we're gonna wind
up doing this and then we're in four conference to territory.
I mean really, I mean anything, any of those things
can happen because nothing moves as fast and is as
out of control as college football because there's no regulation
(11:14):
to it. There's no one. There's no one to say, well, stop,
this has to be done. No, stop, you can't do this.
Because if there was a lot of these moves would
have been hang on a second, let's see if this
works out for the best for us. If you want
to move, you want to go here, But there's no leadership.
And eventually what this means is when you have everybody
grabbing for what they want, it's anarchy. I mean, this
(11:36):
is a case study in anarchy right now. And when
it comes to the sense of what college football is,
this is absolute anarchy. There's no one calling the shots.
It's like that Dave Chappelle's skit of if life was
the Internet and he had Napster and everybody's running in
and out and the bells are going off and people
are just stealing stuff, Like that's what college football is
(11:57):
it's absolutely this is a lesson in hey, what is
a sport? Like if there was no leadership and it
was anarchy, that's college football, And anything can happen when
there's anarchy.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, I think it comes down to the same premise,
and it's the running thread and it may be a
cliche and folks might just dismiss it and go, yeah,
what are you gonna do? I mean, we're at the
point where it's a all right, what is what's the cost?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
We do the cost benefit analysis of this and all
the other and I hear all the coaches saving and
down the line, but think of tradition. Come on, so
many things have changed. Bowl affiliations right now we're getting
proposals of well, you can appear in the Bowl with
someone in your conference, so long as you didn't play
(12:43):
them during the season. Like, there's so many different things
that are being twisted and turned on a year to
year basis. And we've always had movement. It's just usually
been on a glacial pace where it's like, all right,
there's the long lead. We've announced this teams joining us
in two to three years, right Penn State to the
Big Ten, Rutgers when they came in all this it
(13:06):
wasn't immediate. It's like, hey, you guess what it's like,
you know the draft lottery and you pull back the logo,
it's like they're joining the conference in the fall, Welcome in. No,
because you got schedules, you've got all of that, you
got to play. But let's face it, we're in a
society that we get everything as fast as you can
microwave you know, your cup of coffee or whatever it
(13:29):
is you're you know, soften the ice cream so you
can eat it more quickly, whatever, whatever your pleasure is
there that the same thing happens here. How quickly can
we run the numbers and get the get all of
the details in order, and so part of it becomes
the all right, what you've already started to go down
the road with the playoff system, can you fast track
(13:51):
that to change it out if you need to, based
on the renavigation reconstitution of these these conferences and the holdovers.
But I mean that that's really the only obstacle here
is getting everybody in a room and then having the
different commissioners not having to seed large chunks of money,
(14:15):
because that's all we're doing now we're breaking bad and
everybody's laying down on a pile of money. It's just
a matter of how high it is from the floor.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Why don't you just come up with a segment that
I host where I just talk about how we didn't
do well last quarter. I'll get fired like that announcer did.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Don't you want to go be a UPS driver? They're
making one hundred and seventy grand a year.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Now I'm putting my app today.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Okay, good, I saw that crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I can't believe that UPS drivers made one hundred and
forty five grand.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yes, tell me.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I thought, like they're getting one hundred and seventy grand.
What were they making? But they make one hundred and
forty five thousand dollars a year. I would not even
go to college. I would say I'm getting on that
list and I'm gonna be a UPS driver.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
You can steal packages for free.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'd learn how to drive a big truck, all.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Kinds of name.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Do you think you know that your record with the
mailbox might show up though?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No, no, no, no, that would be a problem long ago too.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
People people on this route are now complaining that a
bunch of their items marked perishable have been going missing.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Why are all the sandwiches missing?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
And I just have like mayonnaise on my face. It's
just there's like like like tomatoes dropped on the floor.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
No, Jason, be honest, are you the one tipping over
those cocoa delivery little little things and stealing everybody sandwiches?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I like how frostpir things? People are getting sandwiches delivered
via UPS? Oh you a sandwich?
Speaker 5 (16:50):
You know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Very good? Okay, very good?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
All right? Kind of did he did break character though
ty shirt, because he did get to get up to
watch the futility of the women's national team on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, that was fun, man, I'm telling you, for all
of that all they lost this it was fun getting
up at two o'clock in the morning to watch a
sporting event.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It was all about the community of it all. Man.
It's like I was telling you what the Taylor Swift show.
You may like some albums better than others, you may
not like it at all, but you gotta.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Love the energy.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Likewise, the US women's national team for those that actually
watched it instead of just commenting based on what somebody
else said, like Megan.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Rapino, I'm glad they lost. They lost, rightn't. I didn't
watch the game. I just want to complain about the.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Jason, you felt right at home watching the loss. I watch.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, you know what I wonder if you went all
the way through my life and in that case, what's
what's the record of my teams and games I have
watched on TV? Is my teams are my.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
One hundred thousand below five?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Is it like a three hundred winning percentage? Is it
a four hundred winning percentage? Is it a four to
fifty winning percentage, because I know it's not five hundred.
There's no way the Mets, the Jets, the Knicks and
Syracuse have what I mean, Syracuse hang on, well, Syracuse
had won you know, twenty five games a year, payell,
but they but all they got to Yeah, no, but
all they gotta do is, men, how many times I
(20:38):
watch the next No, the number of games I watch?
What's the winning percentage of my teams I've watched on TV?
I know it's under five hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
I know that's that's probably absolutely accurate. What's funny is
you know I'm now having the vision. You know how
they say at the end of your life, you know,
right before you take your final breath, there everything in
front of your eyes. Okay, like for you, it's just
the swirling l and a montage of all the players.
It's all that you remember from your career. And then
(21:07):
I mean, look, Pam and Zoe will show up, Walt'll
make a cameo, your mom. No, you'll have some family
and friends, maybe Frostburg ty shirt and I up here
flipping you off. But it's gonna be a lot of
else just going and look for my teams I'm gonna
have that same nightmare.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
So it was really just the same thing, only going
to see Buddy Ryan be brought off the field and
he won the Super Bowl, and I got that, and
I got two thousand and five losing my voice in
Game two of the World Series.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Beyond that, I got nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Hey, Frostburg, Harmon's talking about the end. Let's get ready
to interview new hosts. If something happens to Harmon.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
All right, I'll call Richard Sherman.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Well, he's only working so many days with SKIP, he'll
have some time.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, fifty to one hundred days. It's like I'll get
you know, listen, if Tyscher's not gonna be a ups driver,
he can come on the show and talk about anime
for a while. So we'll be good to go.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
We get way, We hit a whole of her market then.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Uh. Speaking of shows, the latest hot NFL show on
Netflix is Johnny Manzel, the show that he has put
out now detailing his career and what happened to him
in the NFL. He turned into one of the biggest
draft bus ever. Made some news last week in which
(22:20):
he said, yeah, you know, I contemplated suicide. I attempted
suicide during a bender. This is during his NFL days,
not in college, and every week I'm told is going
to have a different bit on Manzel's career, and his
career is fascinating to go over because he was a
can't miss guy. He was charismatic, he was a Heisman
(22:40):
Trophy winner. Everybody had interest in his career. It never
happened for him for a lot of reasons, a lot
of them self inflicted. The most recent episode just came
out a few hours ago, and we're going to play
this audio for you and it is an absolute must listen.
Now you've heard about how teams want to make sure
that play are watching film when they're not on campus
(23:04):
with the team. Now, you can watch during film sessions,
but we want you to watch film at home because
you're a quarterback. You got to make sure you know everything. Well,
apparently the team gave Johnny Manziel an iPad to help
him watch film when he was away from the franchise.
This is Johnny Manziel's agent recalling a conversation he had
(23:25):
with the Browns GM about how the Browns knew Johnny
Manziel was not watching video and not watching game film
away from the team.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Their gms calling me, going, he didn't watch tape. I'm like, well,
he's got to watch some tape.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's like ebie.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
His iPad hours is zero point zero, zero.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Zero And that was Johnny. At the end. They had
a way to track what he was watching because it
was a team issued iPad, and they tracked the hours
that he spent watching film and they can tell that
it was zero and zero. Not one second of film
did Johnny Manzel watch when he was away from the team.
(24:06):
And I like the agent gold, well, he's got to
watch some film. And it's like, that's even wrong. The
dude has to watch a lot of films. We could
be a good question. Well he's got to watch some right,
he's got to be something. What do you calling me here?
This about No, it's zero point zero. We're tracking the
iPad and he has not watched one second of film.
And Manzell confirmed this is part of the doc. Yeah,
I didn't watch a second of game film when I
(24:28):
was a quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
That's absolutely amazing. It says so much and confirms a
lot of what was kind of thrown out as theoretical
right in terms of prep and the analyzing things. Go
oh to his background in history. Right, we're talking about
you know, when you've got stuff to fall back on.
(24:52):
Are you as hungry early success? Are you as hungry?
I mean it speaks to some of the other stories
in the NFL. Oh, you know, you and I you know,
we remember vividly all the stuff with JaMarcus Russell and
certainly the Kyler Murray most recently. Right playing video games?
Or is he actually watching film and doing the work.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
This is unbreakable?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
What you said, Mike was unbreakable?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Well, I was going down. I mean it was really inspiring,
I think to the masses. So you come along for
the ride. But it's just that thing, right, when you
have early success in anything, do you keep applying? You know,
the pressure and working to get better and the nuance
some do? Right, how do I get to that elite level?
(25:42):
I want to be him or her or whatever the
case is, depending on the profession or academic pursuits or
whatever it is. In this case, it's all right. Maybe
you want to have a career like Brady, Maybe you
want to be Rogers, your guy in jets Land, or
maybe you're just satisfied. You climb the mountain, you won
(26:02):
a Heisman Trophy, you were drafted in the first round.
All of these things that play together, and you're satisfied,
you become complacent. So doing that extra work, Hey, if
it works out, great, If not, I already got my
novelty check and I'll always be able to sign autographs
as a Heisman winner for a hundred bucks a pop.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You know, the thing is, I remember a couple of
NFL players telling me a long time ago saying that
you always have to watch out for someone who was
a little bit unexpected having success right away, because if
that happens, they don't put in the work to get better.
And it's not like a star coming into the league.
But Johnny Manziel who nobody knew who the guy was,
(26:40):
and suddenly, all of a sudden, here he is Texas
A and m he beats Alabama, he wins the Heisman Trophy.
The guy's a superstar. And he was someone who was
a great instinctual player, one of the best instinctual players
I've ever seen. And you can get by in college
that way, you can get by doing that. You can't
get by that way in the NFL. But the issue
is when you have that success so early, you don't think,
(27:03):
now I have to work hard. If you don't have
that hard work ingrained in you, nothing's going to make
you start doing it. You think, well, I'm getting to
the NFL. Yeah, they're gonna want me to watch film
and all this stuff. I'm fine. I got this. I've
succeeded my whole life putting in the bare minimum because
I'm so athletically gifted and instinctually, I've been able to
do this. There's no reason why I think I can't
(27:25):
do it in the NFL. So no, you don't get
that big hard work right. The story about JaMarcus Russell
about how they gave him DVDs and they know he
never opened it because they put one hundred dollars billion
there and he never said anything. The story they made
it to draft day. Yeah, and you know you hear
all these things. This is out. When you don't have
that work ethic, you're not going to do it. And
(27:45):
the other thing is when you don't take what you
do for a living seriously enough, you're never going to
succeed at it. Some people are fortunate enough to be
able to just skate by doing the bare minimum, taking
a job where hey, I don't really care about this,
but people like what I do, so I can do it.
There's a couple of guys that can do it, and
a couple of people that can do it. But by
and large, if you don't take what you do seriously,
(28:06):
you're not going to be successful at it because there's
a lot of other people creatively and the NFL is
a job that I can say, is something creative that
you do. It's not going in and you're not pushing
pencils or working with numbers. No, you're doing something that
you're judged by the you can see tangible results of
what works and what doesn't. There are always other people
that are going to take what they do more seriously.
(28:27):
They're going to outwork you and they're going to be
the ones that succeed. And this is everything that came
into Johnny Manziel and what we're doing right now, unfortunately,
is we're just getting a validation of how we all
thought Johnny Manziel's career was going. Did this surprise you
today when you heard that you never watched a second
of tape? But no, of course not right. You're just
were getting everything we thought about Johnny Manziel right now
(28:49):
with this story and what's going on right now with
this last episode of Untold.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Just confirmed all the theories. Right. Everybody always questioned that
work ethic, and you'd hear the little whisperings and battles,
you know, publicly and social media and whatever else. This
just says, Okay, yeah, I guess you were right. He
wasn't working hard enough, Like I guess we always just
assume guys are going to take full advantage of opportunities,
just like we always convince people and convince that people
(29:16):
in charge actually know what they're doing. Both of those
are wrong, people. Both of those are absolutely wrong
