Speaker 2 (01:28):
Dwarver is gonna do uh thirty eight to forty. Yeah,
But I I gotta.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Ask you a question here because this is something I
really want to know the answer to. Because tonight is
Taylor Swift's last concert in Los Angeles. Yeah right, it's
been a big week for her so far. Everything else a.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Huge week for Los Angeles. They're saying they're gonna make
over three hundred million dollars. I know it's when it's
all said done.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Hey, can you believe there are people go h she
should not have her concert yet? Can we get three
hundred million dollars for the city. Here are the trends
on social media right now. Blue dress, blue enchanted dress,
new speak, now dress, new dress. The dress is blue, blue,
speak now dress it's so pretty tailor Nation, and then
(02:13):
Bobby Miller.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It is really good an Alexa Bliss on mine.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yet those are the trends right now. Now apparently Taylor
Swift is wearing a blue dress.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's a really good looking dress.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
What does that mean? Why is every boy? I mean,
I don't understand all all that. You gotta explain. Wow,
it's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Tonight's supposed to announce the next re recorded, re released
is nineteen eighty nine. Hey, what day is today?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, it's August ninth, eight night, So you got that.
So she's changed down a couple of outfits for these
final two shows here in La related to that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But why the blue what's the significance of the blue dress?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah? I don't know specifically.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You just danced around you. You could have just said
I don't know instead of saying, well we got there.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No. No, because it is tied to the changing of
all right, the next era, right, because there's been the
era's tour. This is the first leg of the North
American tour. She's gonna end up in Mexico and some
other places here in short order before another huge leg
(03:19):
next year. But the last couple of nights as she transitions,
because it'll be next era will be the nineteen eighty
nine album and whatever support in that era. It is,
so yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So does she wait? Does she not own enough rights
to this concert? So she's going to redo these concerts
now in a blue dress? Like, so she can own
the rights of this concert.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Here's from now. Yes, she could then do what the
red dresses and then she's eventually going to have the
dress of fire like Jennifer Lawrence did in the Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Oh if you could make that dress real, I want
to see that. Oh catching fire, Yeah, I want to
see that. I want to see make that dress real.
All right, well, see if call Lenny Kravitz.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We get Lenny Kravitz out there, he spins a wicked
yarn and then hits a couple of big solos, and
then the whole time we get Stanley Tucci going over
in the side like he's far a Marshall Bill.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And clearly TJ asked Lenny Kravitz if he's gonna go
my way in designing that open. So today was the
day after Hard Knocks and the day of the Jets'
first hiccup of the offseason. Right, we had the Hard
Knocks debut last night. We talked about it last night.
I watched it three times. It was it's glorious. It's
(04:37):
I just sit here thinking super Bowl. It's it's unbelieved.
Look at the talent we have. It's all about Aaron Rodgers.
It's Rogers top to bottom. He loves the attention. He said, look,
we told you a couple months ago he's gonna be
fine for Hard Knocks. Why. Because Aaron Rodgers wants the attention.
He chose New York for the brand. If the Giants
had a quarterback opening, he would have said, I want
to go to the Giants, but the Jets had the opening,
(04:58):
So he's going to the Jets. Right. Congratulations to everybody
else who took that take today. But we knew it
was gonna be fine because this is what he wants.
And then the day after we get the story that
Rogers a little frustrated because things didn't go well in
their joint practice with the Carolina Panthers. This was the
number one or number two story on social media, on
(05:19):
the sports websites, on ESPN, dot com, everywhere else all
day today Jets sense Rogers frustration after spotty two minute drill. Right,
this is a big story today. Aaron Rodgers and the
Jets own everything. Right, It's just that kind of thing.
So with that in mind, I consider I can tell
you what the three biggest stories of the NFL season
(05:41):
are going to be from the perspective of we're going
to talk about each of these stories multiple times a
week for eighteen weeks. Right, we'll talk about him on Monday,
We'll talk about him on Tuesday, and we'll talk about
him on Friday going to the games of the weekend.
The three stories that, no matter what we have going on,
they're gonna be the biggest stories every single week. They're
(06:03):
gonna merit multiple days of attention on TV, on the radio. Again, Monday, Tuesday,
probably a different day as well, but Monday, Tuesday, Friday,
coming off the games, going into the games, the three
biggest stories of the year. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Let's go number one.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I've already let the cat out of the bag. There'll
be nothing bigger than the Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh, I thought you'd already talking about one of the
teams that has a cat for a mask.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Listen, listen, we'll get to that, and we'll also get
to the Bears changing their logo because I understand, I
know you're upset about it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Kind of big gil, you know, Taylor Swift on her
letterhead says musician and cat enthusiast. Okay, all right, well
I'm sorry fee line ee.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Line enthusiasts, fee line enthusiasts. But he's got the it
factor that he has had for the last two years.
The will he or won't he stay in Green Bay?
The trade to the Jets, the Jets being a team
that have been the lovable losers for so long, and
now here they come with a chance to win the
Super Bowl. They have a talented roster and Rogers wanting
(07:05):
to come to the Jets. He has just owned every
bit of real estate in the offseason and that's gonna
continue into the season. If Aaron Rodgers is great, it's
a big story. If he stinks, it's a big story.
If the Jets stink, it's a big story. If the
Jets stay in playoff contention week to week. Aaron Rodgers
is a big story.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
An attention proof storyline of and no matter how the
Jets do, no matter how Aaron Rodgers does, they will
be the biggest story in the NFL. We'll talk about
him multiple times every single week from the season. Doesn't matter, good, bad,
and different, makes no difference. Jets Aaron Rodgers top story
of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, as long as they're not nine to eight, because
then we just go.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Nah, now even then, but even then, hey, they're back
in the playoff fint can Aaron Rodgers get him there?
If as Aaron Rodgers fault that they don't get to
the playoffs, is suddenly this year of failure for the
yet you know, because that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Means he underperformed. Even if he there throws forty touchdowns
with eight interceptions, they don't make the playoffs. It burns
and Roberts is out of a job. That's why they
all Hacket Well, Sean Payton will have words for oh no,
he'll be out of the playoffs with him, so it
won't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And Rogers will coach the team next year. He already
looks like that in Hard Knocks. I'm telling he already
looked like the head coach. He looks like he's the
head coach.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
A Yeah, he's coordinator material, no question about that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The number two story and you kind of alluded to it.
No matter what, the Broncos and Sean Payton and Russell
Wilson number two story of the year without a doubt.
Peyton wants the attention. He is very opinionated. He's already
shown I am not afraid to throw the previous coaching
staff of the Broncos under the bus to throw a
shot at the Jets because they're getting all the attention.
(08:53):
Russell Wilson, who had a lot of attention last year,
he was a daily story. It's going to be that
big this year. Ken Sean Payton get the best out
of him. If the Broncos stink, is Russell Wilson washed?
Is he done? Is Sean Payton still a great head coach?
If the Broncos are good, doesn't matter. We'll talk about
the Broncos and Peyton and Russell Wilson every single Monday, Tuesday,
(09:17):
Friday at the least second biggest story of the year.
It just has the oxygen with it, and it's coming
off of last year where it's not something brand new,
it's something Hey, we have enjoyed this soap opera and
that's part of the thing with Rogers. We've enjoyed the
Rogers soap Opera. We've enjoyed the Russell Wilson soap opera.
So yeah, number two story of the year Broncos Peyton
(09:39):
and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, I mean, I think it would have been a
lesser story had Peyton not suddenly got al chesty and
gone after Nathaniel Hackett and tried to prop up or
at least set him up as a fall guy. Russell Wilson, right,
because if Sean Payton can't fix him, what what's the
(10:01):
common link? Oh, Russell's got to be washed because I
am a genius. I will fix everything. We're doing everything
the opposite, Like it's George just Stanza doing everything the opposite. Hi,
I'm bald, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. Hi,
I'm Victoria. You know that kind of thing. So it's, uh,
(10:22):
the opportunity here is is great as well as the
poison pens that could be out now. Peyton enjoys his role,
having been in the media, even joked about the the
Fox card. It's like he listened to the show the
night before. It's like, yeah, I gotta make sure I
bring up that I was at Fox. Was one of
(10:43):
the first things I said. It's like, ah, you know,
we brainwashed him into hot take nonsense and there and
there he went. But yeah, Russell Wilson, it's put up
or shut up. You may be you be out of
Denver because Peyton ain't going anywhere. So you either play
well and week to week we're gonna going to dissect
every throw that he makes, everyone that he misses. I'm
(11:04):
gonna start singing every breath you take before long U
and celebrating sting. But yeah, it's it's really the microscope
is on Peyton and company in his return to the
coaching sideline and number three.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
This is not a surprise, maybe surprise that it will
be number three, But Dak Prescott and the Cowboys now
look normally every year the Cowboys are obviously they're America's team,
right the Cowboys the Yankees. Whenever you talk about them,
Metrics go up, clicks go up. But this year, especially
because the leash is the shortest it's ever been on,
(11:39):
will the Cowboys move on from Dak Prescott because the
playoff game last year, not beating a forty nine Ers
team with mister Irrelevant at quarterback and you being the
worst quarterback on the field. That changed everything, the perception
of Dak. How much more willing the Cowboys are to
go along with his mistakes, his interceptions. He had two
(11:59):
bad turnovers in the first half. He could lead them
to points, he couldn't lead them to one touchdown. The
defense played great. Everything has changed and now there's already
the pressure on Dak Prescott. You got teammates or John
Adam in practice, they want more out of him. If
the Cowboys start eight no, it's gonna be the Cowboys
are eight no and Dak is an MVP leading Canada.
(12:20):
But they still suck, right, That's how it's gonna be.
But they still suck and Dak still sucks. If the
Cowboys start three and eight, look at the Cowboys. They
suck and Dak sucks. That's what it's gonna be. But
every week Dak Prescott and the Cowboys but different with
a lot more pressure because this year could see change
in the offseason and you could see him move on
from Dak Prescott. Who This could be a point where
(12:42):
the cow you could tell Jerry Jones everybody else what
happened to Dak Prescott getting extended. That talk went out
the window. This is where another team would come in
and say, hey, we like him, We're okay paying We're
paying for him because the money's going up for quarterbacks,
and maybe out of Dallas, Dak's gonna wind up being
a little bit better. The Cowboys are saying, we won
with Cooper Rush, let's get back into it. Go get
(13:04):
somebody else we like that's going to be available. We
like some other guys that could wind up being free
agents to come play for the Cowboys. But those are
gonna be your top three stories no matter what. Not
order the Jets and Rogers, the Broncos and Peyton and Wilson,
Cowboys and Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well two three, let me frankenstein it to a top five. Okay,
all right, Lamar Jackson, former MVP, got his bag. Everybody
derided the way he went about it. You don't have
an agent, all of these different things. He got paid. Okay,
So now what all of the criticisms, analysis of what
(13:39):
were the detriment, detrimental parts of his game? Where has
any he finished the job? And you've had Mark Andrews
and a bunch of Jags for the most part, even
going back to Hollywood Brown, he was pretty much a
straight straight line, throw it up, see if he makes
a play fifty to fifty ball oftentimes kind of player.
Now you bring an Odell Beckham Bateman should be healthy
(14:02):
and ready to go. Zay Flowers comes in. You've got
a full receiving corps alongside with Andrews and I saw
some of the stats NFL Network doing their training camp.
Whip around right best, it's coming into the league. Best
QB rating from ten to nineteen yards. That's great. You
need more of the deep ball, you need some more
(14:23):
of those wide receivers that DaCosta got in the chesty
shouting match with to be able to perform. So with
a new offensive coordinator in tow and really remaking this offense,
it's a year for Lamar Jackson. Either he comes out
a hero and he's in the MVP race, provided he
stays healthy and doesn't play twelve games again, or you
(14:46):
confirm all of those past analysis and criticisms of his
play the other guy to make it a nice round
five count. Because we love our King Kong Bundy references
is green Bay and Jordan love right your Yang.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, but it's gotta be an extreme Jordan Love. It's
got if Jordan Love is really good or if Jordan
Love is really bad. Because if Jordan Love is okay
and the Packers are okay, Yeah, well here's where we
thought the Packers are a talented roster. Love obviously isn't
the answer, but he's not terrible. If it's an.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Extreme love is always the answer, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's got it. If it's an extreme Jordan Love one
way or the other. Yes, I'll give you that. That
would be it. That would be in the top five,
I'll give you. But he can't be in the middle
like the other guys. It doesn't matter if you're down
the middle because you're still succeeding. Or Jordan Love is okay,
but extreme Jordan Love, Yeah, I'm with you on.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
That Extreme Jordan loves. It sounds like one of the
lines of wrestling figures that Jacks would come out years ago.
Extreme Jordan Love. Find him at your local toy store.

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
You can you just call me Jason.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios. And
you know, I want to say this before we before
we move on. Obviously, Look, everybody's thoughts are with Hawaii tonight.
The wildfires in Maui and the big island that have
run rampant and out of control. Maybe you've seen some
(18:43):
of the video today. It's just crazy to see what
it looks like. We've seen drone footage from over the
island and you know, it hit me so so strangely
today because we were just in Lehana, which is on Maui,
which is now gone. We just stayed there. We spent
(19:03):
our entire Thanksgiving week in Lehna. We were supposed to
go there for my fiftieth birthday, but we couldn't go,
so we postponed it a year, A couple of years,
we're gonna go, but it was but then COVID happened,
we postponed it. We wound up going just a few
months ago, and we spent the entire time in Lehna,
and and all the sight seeing we did on Maui
(19:24):
and the times we went to Front Street, which is
a huge business district, and and the Banyan Tree, which
has been there for hundreds, if not I think thousands
of years. The Banyan tree has been there, a huge landmark.
And to see it's all gone, and the majority of
Lahna is gone, it's it's burned to the ground. And
I can't get over the images that I'm seeing of
(19:45):
it and seeing what happened. This was such a vibrant place,
and it was such a it was such a fun
place to be and the people who lived there were
so fun and welcoming and and it's just an absolute
shock to see what's happened. And obviously it's a natural
disag aster, and we've heard a lot so far, you know,
nothing nefarious that that has done this. It's you know,
(20:06):
the the erosion of climate change and some weather situations
that have combined to make this happen. And it's awful
and it's tragic, and all our thoughts and prayers are
with Maui and the Big Island and all of Hawaii
and and luckily there's already places you can give money
to to help, because they're gonna need a lot of help.
(20:26):
And there's lots of places on the Internet that different websites, CNN,
Fox News all have links to where you can go
to to help Hawaii with this, because, boy, they're really
gonna need it, because some of this video is just
it's just absolutely it's hard to watch, and it's tragic
and it's really really difficult.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, some of the the accounts as the day war
on and like here, you know, the first person accounts
and all right, that was my house car whatever the
case is heard about in trying to get people off
the island, the tourists of course, but so many displaced people,
some confirmed deaths, and you know, here in southern California
(21:06):
we've dealt with fires quite a bit. There was one
actually not too far from the studio this evening that
they were tracking on our sister station to our sports affiliate,
right the Powerhouse AM five seventy KFI. They were tracking it,
you know, with the helicopters and the water being dropped,
(21:28):
and we've certainly seen those rescue and containment efforts and
how difficult it is not just to try to put
a fire out, Jason, but just to get it to
stop spreading. It's just such a difficult proposition, and here
they were dealing with some immense wins at different times
(21:48):
as well, So it just added up to complete and
utter devastation. And you know, it's soul crushing, right a
place that I know has meant so much to you
and so many that I've known. You know, my daughters
and I we were going to plan a trip looking
at next year. So you know, the rebuilding process begins,
but it's you know, always a place wanted to go, see, right,
(22:10):
people come back with such positivity and and love for
the people and culture and everything that they experience. There.
So a rough day to day so you know, as
we we do, we we send our best. But also, UH,
just a reminder to be appreciate what you have and
it and if there's any way you can help to
contribute time, effort, cash to the process of helping UH
(22:34):
to rebuild this spot, certainly, UH now is the time
to answer that call.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, I know, Impact your World is one of the
places that is UH that is pushing relief efforts. And
again you can find links on all the the news
websites to be able to go help because, like I said,
Hawaii is really gonna need it. The Jason Smiths with
Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot Com studios. Our
business is sports. You know, we say it a lot,
(23:00):
and you're here, you listen because you want a bit
of a diversion from the big time day to day
stuff that can sometimes be too much. But we wanted
to mention that and talk about that a little bit
as we'll get back into now what has been the
craziest story in sports the last few days, which has
been college football realignment which way today right, you don't
(23:22):
like what's going on way today?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Things good, good west.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And completely changing right now. We thought yesterday, hey, look
at this, Stanford and Call are going to join the ACC.
What do we find out tonight, Well, maybe not so much.
Maybe SMU is going to join the ACC, but according
to reports cal and Stanford there is a deadlock of
being able to let them in and it is now
(23:48):
doubtful they're going to be members of the ACC. Pete
Thamil of ESPN having this report earlier tonight, that it's
very difficult trying to move past and get to an agreement.
These schools were always consider a long shots at joining
the ACC, mainly because they're not Alabama. They're not Michigan,
they're not usc they're not UCLA, they're not even Oregon,
(24:10):
they're not even Washington. What are they really going to? Look?
What are they really gonna bring? I mean that that's
kind of how you look at this. They bring a
lot of stuff. In other sports, they bring a lot
of that bassball, No, but it doesn't matter college football.
What do they bring. They don't bring a lot. They
just don't. And so it's going to be a tough sell.
And now you have you have this, this this time
(24:31):
in college football where many schools are just trying to
trying to swim and stay afloat when it comes to
being relevant. I mean, you have Stanford and calor like, listen, hey,
we want to join the AC We want to get
we gotta get somewhere, and we got to get somewhere
because nobody wants to be left out. Everybody wants to
have a date for the dance. Nobody wants to be
left home. No one wants to not go to the
(24:53):
prom because they know, Hey, i'll go. I'll go go
with anybody. Hey, if you're going to the problem, I
really want to go, I'll go with you or you Hey, listen,
we'll go away. You're one of the Big four conferences. Yes,
we'd love to go with you. But what are you
gonna bring? I mean, what are you gonna This is
where Stanford and cal and I keep going back to
having foresight. When you are a commissioner, when you are
(25:14):
an athletic director, when you're the president of a school,
your job is not to make sure things go okay.
Your job is not to sit back and say, well,
let's not rock the boat on this right. Your job
is to make sure that you are pushing your organization,
your school forward at all times. It's why you have
the big job. If you were if your job was
to sit there and let stuff go and not do anything,
(25:36):
anybody can do it. I could be the president of
a school. What are we gonna do today?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
What do you mean now everything we've been doing, We'll
have another great day. I could be the head of
a movie studio. Hey, what movies are we green lightding today? Nothing?
Not spending money?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Because it could be a bomb, but it could be
a hit. Doesn't matter. I'm not spending money. I'm the
best executive ever, right, I'm not spending money. No, you
have to be able to understand and anticipate where the
sport is going. And right now you have seen schools
and conferences that have anticipated and are moving forward, and
you have schools that have sat back and are getting passed.
(26:08):
The SEC is getting passed. Right They have sat back
in this Wait a minute, why didn't we go in
to try to get why did Colorado want to come here?
Dion Sanders in the SEC?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
They have sat back and watched the Big Ten vault
to the top of being the top college football conference.
They've watched the Big Twelve jump in back into relevancy.
When the Big Twelve was gone, we're losing Oklahoma or
losing Texas, We're not gonna be here. No, the Big
Twelve was very aware of this and jumped out to say,
let's go get Colorado. Now we're gonna get some other
teams to join the Big twelve as well. And now
(26:41):
even though we don't have a lot of a list programs,
we have Colorado, we have Deon Sanders. He's gonna make
us a lot of headlines. We're feeling good because we
were proactive. The Big Ten is proactive. Oregon and Washington
proactive when they can do it now. There are these
other schools that are sitting around going, oh, what are
we gonna do now? Well, we thought you would take
us with us. We thought we thought we would go
with you. No, we're not taking you. Why not because
(27:02):
you're not good to college football. You needed to move
forward more and you need a better vision for sports
because it's always going to change. And when you see
the schools that are left behind, that's what they do.
They were sitting around waiting for Hey, we'll get an invitation,
or somebody's gonna give me a call, or if somebody
wants to go to the dance with me, they'll call me.
You know, if you want to go to the dance,
you call somebody and say, hey, let's go to the dance.
(27:22):
Doesn't matter. Hey I want to go, let's go. You
don't want to go, I'll call somebody else. I got
somebody else in the line right here. I get everybody. Hey,
I got Bob Sugar's call, and I got everybody on
the line. I got Bob Sugar saying I'm smarted by
being with you. He's on the other line. And that's
how you have to do it. So it's no surprise
to see this, and this is where we are now
with schools like Stanford and Callum, Washington State and Oregon
State and seventy percent of the schools going what about
(27:46):
us now? Because you needed to be more proactive because
everybody is out for themselves.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, some of it becomes the is this good for
the company first move or advantage? A very real thing. Yes,
there may be more rich involved with the processes. Right.
You decide, hey, we need to change how we operate
our customer interface. We need to be more remote than
(28:13):
in person because we can have some technological advance to
save us costs. Well, know that it comes at a price,
and you start doing the pros and cons. But if
you sit and wait for things to move through, well
there's several things that happen. Either you're left behind altogether,
you're less desirable. You didn't do a good job of
selling yourself into a situation where we are with Stanford
(28:36):
cal their histories, the way they've operated their programs, the
lack of success on a year to year basis for
the football squad, certainly cal more so than Stanford in
recent years. Anyway that you're looking at a program that
kind of gets pushed off, and we've joked about it
(28:57):
a lot. Eventually we get the super Friends with Northwestern
and Vanderbilt and Stanford and Cal and a couple other
schools that jump in. Maybe Syraq sends a part of
that league as well. But you know, and that's all
just for giggles. But the reality of all right, yeah,
you might be able to come in, but you're coming
in as a lesser partner, right, you're not getting a
(29:18):
full share. You get to earn a full share after
seven years, or you have the clout of a conference
to go back to the television partners and say, hey,
we're gonna expand you're gonna get some more games. We
need more money now, Okay, good, that check gets that
much bigger. Here's a couple extra zeros, and away we go.
For the SEC. They've said they're standing pat and they're
(29:41):
happy that way. Look, they win titles, right, the big
ten may win at the box office and with the
the large contracts that play out, Jason, but we know
that my insufferable friends that work for the SEC and
where SEC honks here while working with me at Fox Sports,
(30:02):
dy I love you, Peter. They count titles. We all
count titles. Right. The dollars matter to guys like me
because I'm a nerd. And how this all comes together
from a business perspective I find completely and utterly fascinating.
Everybody else is yelling, think of the children, think of
the travel, think of this, think of that, and whatever,
(30:25):
and oh those two don't they don't make sense as
rivals like you know what, it's a new world order.
We live in a different world than we did thirty
seconds ago, and with college football particularly, it's changing all
the time. I think Brian Kelly, reading what he had
to say, write up of his comments, I think it
was the best one.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Or was it?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Was it chip Kelly? Nick? Okay? So is Chip Kelly
saying the idea that, hey, football operates for Notre Dame independently,
but they're in conference for everything else. Maybe that's the
way of the world, the way the world should be.
And I don't know, it's an interesting thought. Maybe that's
the next iteration of all of this, Jason. The rest
(31:07):
of it operates, and the NCAA could still have control
over all of that, right, they could still pretend to
be in control of all of that, because we know
they've abdicated all responsibility. Hey, we got an infraction over here.
Let's sit down at the table and let's negotiate terms
of a suspension. It used to be here's the giant
pink slip saying, hey, you're out for a month CNL.
(31:29):
Now it's you know what directional you that one? You
know you could sit those out right? All right? Yeah,
and then we'll make this go, we'll move on, we'll
forget about it. And that's kind of where we're at.
You've got a void of leadership and cohesion in a
lot of this, which means it's the all right, who's
better at their schmoozing skills, who went and did their
(31:51):
improvisational and extemporaneous speaking classes to be able to get
into a room and sell, sell, sell the merits of
their school, their conference and why they are able to
help things forward. Stanford and Call just said, hey, we're
Stanford cal We've helped bolster the Conference of Champions. Sorry,
Nick's easy, you see it. I guess so you know
(32:14):
I have to do it. But it's it's just that
idea that you know you're now left holding the bag
and you're gonna beg to come in and what does
that get you. You have to come in as a
partial member of whatever new group you join. It's to
be a situations.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
But I don't think people care. Is it more money
than we're making it being a full member? Yes, well,
and I don't care. I'll be a partial member. Give
me a partial.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Well for them? In particulars Is it better than the
Apple deal? Right? I mean, that's where we're at. What
was left? I mean, because look, obviously that's Nolan void
because all those teams already left. But let's just say,
for sake of argument, was it better than the twenty
two million or twenty four million we were gonna get?
Over here? What's been the box? The box? The box?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Twitter at? How about a Fresco? Mike gets swollen dome
the Jason Spizer with Mike Carmon live from the Tirack
dot Com studios, Just like Paxton Whitehead told us, And
back to school, there's two kinds of people in business,
the quick and the dead. The quick schools are moving on,
forming big super conferences. The other schools hanging out going hey, man,
well you would like to Oh he just slammed the
(33:22):
door in our face. Man, that's not cool. But something
that is cool. Nick Ope has what's trending in the
wide world of sports, including seven fast facts about the
Mets win tonight over the Cubs.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Nick go, I got one Pete a Lonzo homer and
again he's got four in his last three games. And
the Mets won four to three, and they took the
series two. I got three facts. There you go, that
was four.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You had four in there though.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
All right, good, that's pretty good. Nice, right, I'm happy
with that. The story of the night in baseball. Thank
you Mike.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Michael Lorenzo with the no hitter, and he did it
just eight days after he was traded to Philly from Detroit.
Hundred twenty four pitches, five strikeouts, four walks, fourth no
hitter in the Big leagues this season. Phillies beat the
National seven to nothing, and with the Giants loss to
the Dodgers late this evening, Philly now owns the top
wildcard spot in the National League. Elsewhere, the Astros beat
(34:17):
the Orioles eight to two. The A's snapped the Rangers
eight game winning streak two to nothing the final there
so Houston is now within two games of Texas at
the top of the Al West. Brewers walk off the
Ronkies in ten innings, seven to six. Colorado had a
throwing era to help bring in that winning run for Milwaukee,
as he said, Mets over the Cubs four to three.
(34:38):
Marlins overcame a three run deficit to beat the Reds
five to four. So with all those results, Milwaukee now
leads the NL Central by two and a half games,
and the Marlins have jumped the Reds and the Cubs
by half a game for the final wildcard spot. In
the NL, Angels four to one over the Giants, Dodgers
finished the sweep of the Diamondbacks two to nothing. Sol
(35:00):
leads the NL West by six games. In the NFL,
free agent running back Kareem Hunt left his visit with
the Colts on Wednesday without a deal. Buccaneers set to
star Baker Mayfield Friday night in their preseason game, but
coach Ton Bowle said rookie cal Trask will get the
NOD for their second preseason game. Let's send it back
(35:20):
to Jason Smith and Mike Harmon.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Thanks a bunch, Dick, appreciate it, my friend. Coming up next,
we have the play of the night. Plus is one
big time team really changing their logo? But are they
really changing their logo? Are they really changing their logo?
It's coming up next right here, Jason and Bike Fuck.

my favorite places in the world. Yep, and they you

but books. I would never find other places. It's just
one of my favorite places to go. And there was
a book that I was gonna I was gonna call
you guys and say you wanted me to buy it
for you? That was It was the lyrics of Kate
Bush Hall of There, Babe. It was like eighteen dollars.
I'm like, I'm not gonna buy eightep. I could look
(36:25):
up the lyrics of Kate Bush online.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I mean like I it was like, now they're They're
bound and forever tied together as a collection of brilliance.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
I'm gonna frame that for the studio.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Sure, yeah, that's what I want to see, is that
walking in every day.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Are tears for Fears? You picky?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's all right, Hey, when everybody else comes over to
swim at our house, it's fine, except for you to
keep playing Tears for Fears.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
But he was gonna DJ a super set that you've
never heard before.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
That's fine, Ja, I didn't want to go to the party.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
That's okay, because you keep playing. You keep playing Tears
for Fears and and that song.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
It's fine, that's fine, It is fine.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It's good. You'd rather do that than come over for
a pool party.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
That that's cool, that's good. I didn't like the pool anyways.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You don't even know what the pool is.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
I don't even like water the pool.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I don't even like water.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I can't back that up. I love water.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
It's like I choked down four gallons every day.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh boy, we got the play that might come on
your way in a couple of seconds. But first, there
was a lot of talk today as it looked like
the Bears could have been changing their logo. All right.
They put out some stuff on social media to focus
on the Bear, the actual the yelling screaming bear logo
that we've seen that has been their one of their logos,
(37:39):
but not the Big Sea, which has been their logo
for basically the last seventy five years. And there's been
a lot of talk are the Bears changing their logo?
It looked like they might be, and the Bears put
out a statement tonight saying, no, we're not changing anything.
We're kind of just making people aware that the bear
is there. So it's really weird. What are the Bears
really trying to do with that? But I gonna tell you, Mike,
(38:01):
I know it's your team, but if I had a vote,
I would change to the bear, the screaming yelling bear,
because number one, the screaming yelling bear is cool. And
number two, now when I look at the Sea, you
know what they do that on the on the inn
and they go, what's the first player you think of
when you see this team's logo? Right? If they did
that and they showed me your see, the first player
that would come to mind is Jay Cutler.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
See I thought you were going to say it was
someone from the Cincinnati Reds. No, you just thought they
got the color of the seat de la Cruz.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
No, I think of Jake Cutler and that you can't
have that connotation. I don't think of Dick Butkis. I
don't think of Walter Payton. I don't think Richard Dent.
I know, No, I think of Jake Cutler. So I mean,
I think it's time change to that bear low because
I think of Jake Cutler when I see that's.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Note to self, where are the suresy tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Lunk?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I mean, look, I think he capitalized on the success
and and tie ins you can have with cocaine bear.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Oh, if you want to change it, making the Cocaine Bear,
you get rid of everything else next everything else.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Man, it was great though. Quote the bear head has
been a co primary mark for many years. Plenty of
merch available with either logo or both if you so choose.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Do you think if the Bears have a crazy season,
they'll be nicknamed the cocaine Bears. It could be like
like you see it on on the different newspapers, Cocaine
Bears win crazy one, you know, or something like that.
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I just don't know how I get away with that.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, I don't know if you but you had a
movie called Cocaine Bear.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, but it was literally a bear eating cocaine.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah. Well, well well people, but it was a movie,
but it was only a movie.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
No, but it was based on an actual bear and
that was doing that. And I mean you can go
see his remnants in Kentucky, right him.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, but still, but it was an entirely new story
like that never happened, like all the stuff that happened
in the movie. That's for.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Quiet. You trying to kill the myth a legend, but yeah,
they come out like a house of fire. And Justin
Fields backs up all those MVP boat. Uh you know
odds and bens that people have made. Then yeah, I guess,
I guess you go down that road. But yes, it
has had people vexed. Today.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You have ruined the Cocaine Bear for me.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Thank you for I dare you? Uh time, No, you're
gonna tell me. Sharknada was a real either. By the way,
It's back in theaters for extenth anniversary this weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
You know, my favorite part about the Sharknado was was
that how the Sharknados when they would fly out of
all the different things that were out of that were
out of whack was that? How when they flew out
of the the ocean they always landed on someone. They
didn't land in a clearing, in a in a in
a tree, on top of a car in the middle
of the street. No, they always landed right on top
of somebody, brilliantly circumnavigating the gloom and the body controlled
(40:50):
by the shark to land on that woman. That was
some kind of shane. Need's a timeout. She is getting
eaten to death by that shark, thrown out of the water.
Speaker 4 (41:00):

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Dwarver is gonna do uh thirty eight to forty. Yeah,
But I I gotta.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Ask you a question here because this is something I
really want to know the answer to. Because tonight is
Taylor Swift's last concert in Los Angeles. Yeah right, it's
been a big week for her so far. Everything else a.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Huge week for Los Angeles. They're saying they're gonna make
over three hundred million dollars. I know it's when it's
all said done.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Hey, can you believe there are people go h she
should not have her concert yet? Can we get three
hundred million dollars for the city. Here are the trends
on social media right now. Blue dress, blue enchanted dress,
new speak, now dress, new dress. The dress is blue, blue,
speak now dress it's so pretty tailor Nation, and then
(02:13):
Bobby Miller.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It is really good an Alexa Bliss on mine.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yet those are the trends right now. Now apparently Taylor
Swift is wearing a blue dress.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's a really good looking dress.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
What does that mean? Why is every boy? I mean,
I don't understand all all that. You gotta explain. Wow,
it's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Tonight's supposed to announce the next re recorded, re released
is nineteen eighty nine. Hey, what day is today?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, it's August ninth, eight night, So you got that.
So she's changed down a couple of outfits for these
final two shows here in La related to that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But why the blue what's the significance of the blue dress?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah? I don't know specifically.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You just danced around you. You could have just said
I don't know instead of saying, well we got there.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No. No, because it is tied to the changing of
all right, the next era, right, because there's been the
era's tour. This is the first leg of the North
American tour. She's gonna end up in Mexico and some
other places here in short order before another huge leg
(03:19):
next year. But the last couple of nights as she transitions,
because it'll be next era will be the nineteen eighty
nine album and whatever support in that era. It is,
so yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So does she wait? Does she not own enough rights
to this concert? So she's going to redo these concerts
now in a blue dress? Like, so she can own
the rights of this concert.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Here's from now. Yes, she could then do what the
red dresses and then she's eventually going to have the
dress of fire like Jennifer Lawrence did in the Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Oh if you could make that dress real, I want
to see that. Oh catching fire, Yeah, I want to
see that. I want to see make that dress real.
All right, well, see if call Lenny Kravitz.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We get Lenny Kravitz out there, he spins a wicked
yarn and then hits a couple of big solos, and
then the whole time we get Stanley Tucci going over
in the side like he's far a Marshall Bill.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And clearly TJ asked Lenny Kravitz if he's gonna go
my way in designing that open. So today was the
day after Hard Knocks and the day of the Jets'
first hiccup of the offseason. Right, we had the Hard
Knocks debut last night. We talked about it last night.
I watched it three times. It was it's glorious. It's
(04:37):
I just sit here thinking super Bowl. It's it's unbelieved.
Look at the talent we have. It's all about Aaron Rodgers.
It's Rogers top to bottom. He loves the attention. He said, look,
we told you a couple months ago he's gonna be
fine for Hard Knocks. Why. Because Aaron Rodgers wants the attention.
He chose New York for the brand. If the Giants
had a quarterback opening, he would have said, I want
to go to the Giants, but the Jets had the opening,
(04:58):
So he's going to the Jets. Right. Congratulations to everybody
else who took that take today. But we knew it
was gonna be fine because this is what he wants.
And then the day after we get the story that
Rogers a little frustrated because things didn't go well in
their joint practice with the Carolina Panthers. This was the
number one or number two story on social media, on
(05:19):
the sports websites, on ESPN, dot com, everywhere else all
day today Jets sense Rogers frustration after spotty two minute drill. Right,
this is a big story today. Aaron Rodgers and the
Jets own everything. Right, It's just that kind of thing.
So with that in mind, I consider I can tell
you what the three biggest stories of the NFL season
(05:41):
are going to be from the perspective of we're going
to talk about each of these stories multiple times a
week for eighteen weeks. Right, we'll talk about him on Monday,
We'll talk about him on Tuesday, and we'll talk about
him on Friday going to the games of the weekend.
The three stories that, no matter what we have going on,
they're gonna be the biggest stories every single week. They're
(06:03):
gonna merit multiple days of attention on TV, on the radio. Again, Monday, Tuesday,
probably a different day as well, but Monday, Tuesday, Friday,
coming off the games, going into the games, the three
biggest stories of the year. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Let's go number one.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I've already let the cat out of the bag. There'll
be nothing bigger than the Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh, I thought you'd already talking about one of the
teams that has a cat for a mask.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Listen, listen, we'll get to that, and we'll also get
to the Bears changing their logo because I understand, I
know you're upset about it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Kind of big gil, you know, Taylor Swift on her
letterhead says musician and cat enthusiast. Okay, all right, well
I'm sorry fee line ee.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Line enthusiasts, fee line enthusiasts. But he's got the it
factor that he has had for the last two years.
The will he or won't he stay in Green Bay?
The trade to the Jets, the Jets being a team
that have been the lovable losers for so long, and
now here they come with a chance to win the
Super Bowl. They have a talented roster and Rogers wanting
(07:05):
to come to the Jets. He has just owned every
bit of real estate in the offseason and that's gonna
continue into the season. If Aaron Rodgers is great, it's
a big story. If he stinks, it's a big story.
If the Jets stink, it's a big story. If the
Jets stay in playoff contention week to week. Aaron Rodgers
is a big story.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
An attention proof storyline of and no matter how the
Jets do, no matter how Aaron Rodgers does, they will
be the biggest story in the NFL. We'll talk about
him multiple times every single week from the season. Doesn't matter, good, bad,
and different, makes no difference. Jets Aaron Rodgers top story
of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, as long as they're not nine to eight, because
then we just go.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Nah, now even then, but even then, hey, they're back
in the playoff fint can Aaron Rodgers get him there?
If as Aaron Rodgers fault that they don't get to
the playoffs, is suddenly this year of failure for the
yet you know, because that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Means he underperformed. Even if he there throws forty touchdowns
with eight interceptions, they don't make the playoffs. It burns
and Roberts is out of a job. That's why they
all Hacket Well, Sean Payton will have words for oh no,
he'll be out of the playoffs with him, so it
won't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And Rogers will coach the team next year. He already
looks like that in Hard Knocks. I'm telling he already
looked like the head coach. He looks like he's the
head coach.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
A Yeah, he's coordinator material, no question about that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The number two story and you kind of alluded to it.
No matter what, the Broncos and Sean Payton and Russell
Wilson number two story of the year without a doubt.
Peyton wants the attention. He is very opinionated. He's already
shown I am not afraid to throw the previous coaching
staff of the Broncos under the bus to throw a
shot at the Jets because they're getting all the attention.
(08:53):
Russell Wilson, who had a lot of attention last year,
he was a daily story. It's going to be that
big this year. Ken Sean Payton get the best out
of him. If the Broncos stink, is Russell Wilson washed?
Is he done? Is Sean Payton still a great head coach?
If the Broncos are good, doesn't matter. We'll talk about
the Broncos and Peyton and Russell Wilson every single Monday, Tuesday,
(09:17):
Friday at the least second biggest story of the year.
It just has the oxygen with it, and it's coming
off of last year where it's not something brand new,
it's something Hey, we have enjoyed this soap opera and
that's part of the thing with Rogers. We've enjoyed the
Rogers soap Opera. We've enjoyed the Russell Wilson soap opera.
So yeah, number two story of the year Broncos Peyton
(09:39):
and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, I mean, I think it would have been a
lesser story had Peyton not suddenly got al chesty and
gone after Nathaniel Hackett and tried to prop up or
at least set him up as a fall guy. Russell Wilson, right,
because if Sean Payton can't fix him, what what's the
(10:01):
common link? Oh, Russell's got to be washed because I
am a genius. I will fix everything. We're doing everything
the opposite, Like it's George just Stanza doing everything the opposite. Hi,
I'm bald, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. Hi,
I'm Victoria. You know that kind of thing. So it's, uh,
(10:22):
the opportunity here is is great as well as the
poison pens that could be out now. Peyton enjoys his role,
having been in the media, even joked about the the
Fox card. It's like he listened to the show the
night before. It's like, yeah, I gotta make sure I
bring up that I was at Fox. Was one of
(10:43):
the first things I said. It's like, ah, you know,
we brainwashed him into hot take nonsense and there and
there he went. But yeah, Russell Wilson, it's put up
or shut up. You may be you be out of
Denver because Peyton ain't going anywhere. So you either play
well and week to week we're gonna going to dissect
every throw that he makes, everyone that he misses. I'm
(11:04):
gonna start singing every breath you take before long U
and celebrating sting. But yeah, it's it's really the microscope
is on Peyton and company in his return to the
coaching sideline and number three.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
This is not a surprise, maybe surprise that it will
be number three, But Dak Prescott and the Cowboys now
look normally every year the Cowboys are obviously they're America's team,
right the Cowboys the Yankees. Whenever you talk about them,
Metrics go up, clicks go up. But this year, especially
because the leash is the shortest it's ever been on,
(11:39):
will the Cowboys move on from Dak Prescott because the
playoff game last year, not beating a forty nine Ers
team with mister Irrelevant at quarterback and you being the
worst quarterback on the field. That changed everything, the perception
of Dak. How much more willing the Cowboys are to
go along with his mistakes, his interceptions. He had two
(11:59):
bad turnovers in the first half. He could lead them
to points, he couldn't lead them to one touchdown. The
defense played great. Everything has changed and now there's already
the pressure on Dak Prescott. You got teammates or John
Adam in practice, they want more out of him. If
the Cowboys start eight no, it's gonna be the Cowboys
are eight no and Dak is an MVP leading Canada.
(12:20):
But they still suck, right, That's how it's gonna be.
But they still suck and Dak still sucks. If the
Cowboys start three and eight, look at the Cowboys. They
suck and Dak sucks. That's what it's gonna be. But
every week Dak Prescott and the Cowboys but different with
a lot more pressure because this year could see change
in the offseason and you could see him move on
from Dak Prescott. Who This could be a point where
(12:42):
the cow you could tell Jerry Jones everybody else what
happened to Dak Prescott getting extended. That talk went out
the window. This is where another team would come in
and say, hey, we like him, We're okay paying We're
paying for him because the money's going up for quarterbacks,
and maybe out of Dallas, Dak's gonna wind up being
a little bit better. The Cowboys are saying, we won
with Cooper Rush, let's get back into it. Go get
(13:04):
somebody else we like that's going to be available. We
like some other guys that could wind up being free
agents to come play for the Cowboys. But those are
gonna be your top three stories no matter what. Not
order the Jets and Rogers, the Broncos and Peyton and Wilson,
Cowboys and Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well two three, let me frankenstein it to a top five. Okay,
all right, Lamar Jackson, former MVP, got his bag. Everybody
derided the way he went about it. You don't have
an agent, all of these different things. He got paid. Okay,
So now what all of the criticisms, analysis of what
(13:39):
were the detriment, detrimental parts of his game? Where has
any he finished the job? And you've had Mark Andrews
and a bunch of Jags for the most part, even
going back to Hollywood Brown, he was pretty much a
straight straight line, throw it up, see if he makes
a play fifty to fifty ball oftentimes kind of player.
Now you bring an Odell Beckham Bateman should be healthy
(14:02):
and ready to go. Zay Flowers comes in. You've got
a full receiving corps alongside with Andrews and I saw
some of the stats NFL Network doing their training camp.
Whip around right best, it's coming into the league. Best
QB rating from ten to nineteen yards. That's great. You
need more of the deep ball, you need some more
(14:23):
of those wide receivers that DaCosta got in the chesty
shouting match with to be able to perform. So with
a new offensive coordinator in tow and really remaking this offense,
it's a year for Lamar Jackson. Either he comes out
a hero and he's in the MVP race, provided he
stays healthy and doesn't play twelve games again, or you
(14:46):
confirm all of those past analysis and criticisms of his
play the other guy to make it a nice round
five count. Because we love our King Kong Bundy references
is green Bay and Jordan love right your Yang.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, but it's gotta be an extreme Jordan Love. It's
got if Jordan Love is really good or if Jordan
Love is really bad. Because if Jordan Love is okay
and the Packers are okay, Yeah, well here's where we
thought the Packers are a talented roster. Love obviously isn't
the answer, but he's not terrible. If it's an.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Extreme love is always the answer, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's got it. If it's an extreme Jordan Love one
way or the other. Yes, I'll give you that. That
would be it. That would be in the top five,
I'll give you. But he can't be in the middle
like the other guys. It doesn't matter if you're down
the middle because you're still succeeding. Or Jordan Love is okay,
but extreme Jordan Love, Yeah, I'm with you on.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
That Extreme Jordan loves. It sounds like one of the
lines of wrestling figures that Jacks would come out years ago.
Extreme Jordan Love. Find him at your local toy store.

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
You can you just call me Jason.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios. And
you know, I want to say this before we before
we move on. Obviously, Look, everybody's thoughts are with Hawaii tonight.
The wildfires in Maui and the big island that have
run rampant and out of control. Maybe you've seen some
(18:43):
of the video today. It's just crazy to see what
it looks like. We've seen drone footage from over the
island and you know, it hit me so so strangely
today because we were just in Lehana, which is on Maui,
which is now gone. We just stayed there. We spent
(19:03):
our entire Thanksgiving week in Lehna. We were supposed to
go there for my fiftieth birthday, but we couldn't go,
so we postponed it a year, A couple of years,
we're gonna go, but it was but then COVID happened,
we postponed it. We wound up going just a few
months ago, and we spent the entire time in Lehna,
and and all the sight seeing we did on Maui
(19:24):
and the times we went to Front Street, which is
a huge business district, and and the Banyan Tree, which
has been there for hundreds, if not I think thousands
of years. The Banyan tree has been there, a huge landmark.
And to see it's all gone, and the majority of
Lahna is gone, it's it's burned to the ground. And
I can't get over the images that I'm seeing of
(19:45):
it and seeing what happened. This was such a vibrant place,
and it was such a it was such a fun
place to be and the people who lived there were
so fun and welcoming and and it's just an absolute
shock to see what's happened. And obviously it's a natural
disag aster, and we've heard a lot so far, you know,
nothing nefarious that that has done this. It's you know,
(20:06):
the the erosion of climate change and some weather situations
that have combined to make this happen. And it's awful
and it's tragic, and all our thoughts and prayers are
with Maui and the Big Island and all of Hawaii
and and luckily there's already places you can give money
to to help, because they're gonna need a lot of help.
(20:26):
And there's lots of places on the Internet that different websites, CNN,
Fox News all have links to where you can go
to to help Hawaii with this, because, boy, they're really
gonna need it, because some of this video is just
it's just absolutely it's hard to watch, and it's tragic
and it's really really difficult.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, some of the the accounts as the day war
on and like here, you know, the first person accounts
and all right, that was my house car whatever the
case is heard about in trying to get people off
the island, the tourists of course, but so many displaced people,
some confirmed deaths, and you know, here in southern California
(21:06):
we've dealt with fires quite a bit. There was one
actually not too far from the studio this evening that
they were tracking on our sister station to our sports affiliate,
right the Powerhouse AM five seventy KFI. They were tracking it,
you know, with the helicopters and the water being dropped,
(21:28):
and we've certainly seen those rescue and containment efforts and
how difficult it is not just to try to put
a fire out, Jason, but just to get it to
stop spreading. It's just such a difficult proposition, and here
they were dealing with some immense wins at different times
(21:48):
as well, So it just added up to complete and
utter devastation. And you know, it's soul crushing, right a
place that I know has meant so much to you
and so many that I've known. You know, my daughters
and I we were going to plan a trip looking
at next year. So you know, the rebuilding process begins,
but it's you know, always a place wanted to go, see, right,
(22:10):
people come back with such positivity and and love for
the people and culture and everything that they experience. There.
So a rough day to day so you know, as
we we do, we we send our best. But also, UH,
just a reminder to be appreciate what you have and
it and if there's any way you can help to
contribute time, effort, cash to the process of helping UH
(22:34):
to rebuild this spot, certainly, UH now is the time
to answer that call.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, I know, Impact your World is one of the
places that is UH that is pushing relief efforts. And
again you can find links on all the the news
websites to be able to go help because, like I said,
Hawaii is really gonna need it. The Jason Smiths with
Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot Com studios. Our
business is sports. You know, we say it a lot,
(23:00):
and you're here, you listen because you want a bit
of a diversion from the big time day to day
stuff that can sometimes be too much. But we wanted
to mention that and talk about that a little bit
as we'll get back into now what has been the
craziest story in sports the last few days, which has
been college football realignment which way today right, you don't
(23:22):
like what's going on way today?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Things good, good west.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And completely changing right now. We thought yesterday, hey, look
at this, Stanford and Call are going to join the ACC.
What do we find out tonight, Well, maybe not so much.
Maybe SMU is going to join the ACC, but according
to reports cal and Stanford there is a deadlock of
being able to let them in and it is now
(23:48):
doubtful they're going to be members of the ACC. Pete
Thamil of ESPN having this report earlier tonight, that it's
very difficult trying to move past and get to an agreement.
These schools were always consider a long shots at joining
the ACC, mainly because they're not Alabama. They're not Michigan,
they're not usc they're not UCLA, they're not even Oregon,
(24:10):
they're not even Washington. What are they really going to? Look?
What are they really gonna bring? I mean that that's
kind of how you look at this. They bring a
lot of stuff. In other sports, they bring a lot
of that bassball, No, but it doesn't matter college football.
What do they bring. They don't bring a lot. They
just don't. And so it's going to be a tough sell.
And now you have you have this, this this time
(24:31):
in college football where many schools are just trying to
trying to swim and stay afloat when it comes to
being relevant. I mean, you have Stanford and calor like, listen, hey,
we want to join the AC We want to get
we gotta get somewhere, and we got to get somewhere
because nobody wants to be left out. Everybody wants to
have a date for the dance. Nobody wants to be
left home. No one wants to not go to the
(24:53):
prom because they know, Hey, i'll go. I'll go go
with anybody. Hey, if you're going to the problem, I
really want to go, I'll go with you or you Hey, listen,
we'll go away. You're one of the Big four conferences. Yes,
we'd love to go with you. But what are you
gonna bring? I mean, what are you gonna This is
where Stanford and cal and I keep going back to
having foresight. When you are a commissioner, when you are
(25:14):
an athletic director, when you're the president of a school,
your job is not to make sure things go okay.
Your job is not to sit back and say, well,
let's not rock the boat on this right. Your job
is to make sure that you are pushing your organization,
your school forward at all times. It's why you have
the big job. If you were if your job was
to sit there and let stuff go and not do anything,
(25:36):
anybody can do it. I could be the president of
a school. What are we gonna do today?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
What do you mean now everything we've been doing, We'll
have another great day. I could be the head of
a movie studio. Hey, what movies are we green lightding today? Nothing?
Not spending money?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Because it could be a bomb, but it could be
a hit. Doesn't matter. I'm not spending money. I'm the
best executive ever, right, I'm not spending money. No, you
have to be able to understand and anticipate where the
sport is going. And right now you have seen schools
and conferences that have anticipated and are moving forward, and
you have schools that have sat back and are getting passed.
(26:08):
The SEC is getting passed. Right They have sat back
in this Wait a minute, why didn't we go in
to try to get why did Colorado want to come here?
Dion Sanders in the SEC?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
They have sat back and watched the Big Ten vault
to the top of being the top college football conference.
They've watched the Big Twelve jump in back into relevancy.
When the Big Twelve was gone, we're losing Oklahoma or
losing Texas, We're not gonna be here. No, the Big
Twelve was very aware of this and jumped out to say,
let's go get Colorado. Now we're gonna get some other
teams to join the Big twelve as well. And now
(26:41):
even though we don't have a lot of a list programs,
we have Colorado, we have Deon Sanders. He's gonna make
us a lot of headlines. We're feeling good because we
were proactive. The Big Ten is proactive. Oregon and Washington
proactive when they can do it now. There are these
other schools that are sitting around going, oh, what are
we gonna do now? Well, we thought you would take
us with us. We thought we thought we would go
with you. No, we're not taking you. Why not because
(27:02):
you're not good to college football. You needed to move
forward more and you need a better vision for sports
because it's always going to change. And when you see
the schools that are left behind, that's what they do.
They were sitting around waiting for Hey, we'll get an invitation,
or somebody's gonna give me a call, or if somebody
wants to go to the dance with me, they'll call me.
You know, if you want to go to the dance,
you call somebody and say, hey, let's go to the dance.
(27:22):
Doesn't matter. Hey I want to go, let's go. You
don't want to go, I'll call somebody else. I got
somebody else in the line right here. I get everybody. Hey,
I got Bob Sugar's call, and I got everybody on
the line. I got Bob Sugar saying I'm smarted by
being with you. He's on the other line. And that's
how you have to do it. So it's no surprise
to see this, and this is where we are now
with schools like Stanford and Callum, Washington State and Oregon
State and seventy percent of the schools going what about
(27:46):
us now? Because you needed to be more proactive because
everybody is out for themselves.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, some of it becomes the is this good for
the company first move or advantage? A very real thing. Yes,
there may be more rich involved with the processes. Right.
You decide, hey, we need to change how we operate
our customer interface. We need to be more remote than
(28:13):
in person because we can have some technological advance to
save us costs. Well, know that it comes at a price,
and you start doing the pros and cons. But if
you sit and wait for things to move through, well
there's several things that happen. Either you're left behind altogether,
you're less desirable. You didn't do a good job of
selling yourself into a situation where we are with Stanford
(28:36):
cal their histories, the way they've operated their programs, the
lack of success on a year to year basis for
the football squad, certainly cal more so than Stanford in
recent years. Anyway that you're looking at a program that
kind of gets pushed off, and we've joked about it
(28:57):
a lot. Eventually we get the super Friends with Northwestern
and Vanderbilt and Stanford and Cal and a couple other
schools that jump in. Maybe Syraq sends a part of
that league as well. But you know, and that's all
just for giggles. But the reality of all right, yeah,
you might be able to come in, but you're coming
in as a lesser partner, right, you're not getting a
(29:18):
full share. You get to earn a full share after
seven years, or you have the clout of a conference
to go back to the television partners and say, hey,
we're gonna expand you're gonna get some more games. We
need more money now, Okay, good, that check gets that
much bigger. Here's a couple extra zeros, and away we go.
For the SEC. They've said they're standing pat and they're
(29:41):
happy that way. Look, they win titles, right, the big
ten may win at the box office and with the
the large contracts that play out, Jason, but we know
that my insufferable friends that work for the SEC and
where SEC honks here while working with me at Fox Sports,
(30:02):
dy I love you, Peter. They count titles. We all
count titles. Right. The dollars matter to guys like me
because I'm a nerd. And how this all comes together
from a business perspective I find completely and utterly fascinating.
Everybody else is yelling, think of the children, think of
the travel, think of this, think of that, and whatever,
(30:25):
and oh those two don't they don't make sense as
rivals like you know what, it's a new world order.
We live in a different world than we did thirty
seconds ago, and with college football particularly, it's changing all
the time. I think Brian Kelly, reading what he had
to say, write up of his comments, I think it
was the best one.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Or was it?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Was it chip Kelly? Nick? Okay? So is Chip Kelly
saying the idea that, hey, football operates for Notre Dame independently,
but they're in conference for everything else. Maybe that's the
way of the world, the way the world should be.
And I don't know, it's an interesting thought. Maybe that's
the next iteration of all of this, Jason. The rest
(31:07):
of it operates, and the NCAA could still have control
over all of that, right, they could still pretend to
be in control of all of that, because we know
they've abdicated all responsibility. Hey, we got an infraction over here.
Let's sit down at the table and let's negotiate terms
of a suspension. It used to be here's the giant
pink slip saying, hey, you're out for a month CNL.
(31:29):
Now it's you know what directional you that one? You
know you could sit those out right? All right? Yeah,
and then we'll make this go, we'll move on, we'll
forget about it. And that's kind of where we're at.
You've got a void of leadership and cohesion in a
lot of this, which means it's the all right, who's
better at their schmoozing skills, who went and did their
(31:51):
improvisational and extemporaneous speaking classes to be able to get
into a room and sell, sell, sell the merits of
their school, their conference and why they are able to
help things forward. Stanford and Call just said, hey, we're
Stanford cal We've helped bolster the Conference of Champions. Sorry,
Nick's easy, you see it. I guess so you know
(32:14):
I have to do it. But it's it's just that
idea that you know you're now left holding the bag
and you're gonna beg to come in and what does
that get you. You have to come in as a
partial member of whatever new group you join. It's to
be a situations.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
But I don't think people care. Is it more money
than we're making it being a full member? Yes, well,
and I don't care. I'll be a partial member. Give
me a partial.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Well for them? In particulars Is it better than the
Apple deal? Right? I mean, that's where we're at. What
was left? I mean, because look, obviously that's Nolan void
because all those teams already left. But let's just say,
for sake of argument, was it better than the twenty
two million or twenty four million we were gonna get?
Over here? What's been the box? The box? The box?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Twitter at? How about a Fresco? Mike gets swollen dome

well you would like to Oh he just slammed the
(33:22):
door in our face. Man, that's not cool. But something
that is cool. Nick Ope has what's trending in the
wide world of sports, including seven fast facts about the
Mets win tonight over the Cubs.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Nick go, I got one Pete a Lonzo homer and
again he's got four in his last three games. And
the Mets won four to three, and they took the
series two. I got three facts. There you go, that
was four.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You had four in there though.

with that. The story of the night in baseball. Thank
you Mike.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Michael Lorenzo with the no hitter, and he did it
just eight days after he was traded to Philly from Detroit.
Hundred twenty four pitches, five strikeouts, four walks, fourth no
hitter in the Big leagues this season. Phillies beat the
National seven to nothing, and with the Giants loss to
the Dodgers late this evening, Philly now owns the top
wildcard spot in the National League. Elsewhere, the Astros beat
(34:17):
the Orioles eight to two. The A's snapped the Rangers
eight game winning streak two to nothing the final there
so Houston is now within two games of Texas at
the top of the Al West. Brewers walk off the
Ronkies in ten innings, seven to six. Colorado had a
throwing era to help bring in that winning run for Milwaukee,
as he said, Mets over the Cubs four to three.
(34:38):
Marlins overcame a three run deficit to beat the Reds
five to four. So with all those results, Milwaukee now
leads the NL Central by two and a half games,
and the Marlins have jumped the Reds and the Cubs
by half a game for the final wildcard spot. In
the NL, Angels four to one over the Giants, Dodgers
finished the sweep of the Diamondbacks two to nothing. Sol
(35:00):
leads the NL West by six games. In the NFL,
free agent running back Kareem Hunt left his visit with
the Colts on Wednesday without a deal. Buccaneers set to
star Baker Mayfield Friday night in their preseason game, but
coach Ton Bowle said rookie cal Trask will get the
NOD for their second preseason game. Let's send it back
(35:20):
to Jason Smith and Mike Harmon.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Thanks a bunch, Dick, appreciate it, my friend. Coming up next,
we have the play of the night. Plus is one

Speaker 1 (36:05):
And I love going through there because it's all independent
but books. I would never find other places. It's just
one of my favorite places to go. And there was
a book that I was gonna I was gonna call
you guys and say you wanted me to buy it
for you? That was It was the lyrics of Kate
Bush Hall of There, Babe. It was like eighteen dollars.
I'm like, I'm not gonna buy eightep. I could look
(36:25):
up the lyrics of Kate Bush online.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I mean like I it was like, now they're They're
bound and forever tied together as a collection of brilliance.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
I'm gonna frame that for the studio.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Sure, yeah, that's what I want to see, is that
walking in every day.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Are tears for Fears? You picky?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's all right, Hey, when everybody else comes over to
swim at our house, it's fine, except for you to
keep playing Tears for Fears.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
But he was gonna DJ a super set that you've
never heard before.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
That's fine, Ja, I didn't want to go to the party.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
That's okay, because you keep playing. You keep playing Tears
for Fears and and that song.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
It's fine, that's fine, It is fine.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It's good. You'd rather do that than come over for
a pool party.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
That that's cool, that's good. I didn't like the pool anyways.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You don't even know what the pool is.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
I don't even like water the pool.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I don't even like water.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I can't back that up. I love water.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
It's like I choked down four gallons every day.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh boy, we got the play that might come on
your way in a couple of seconds. But first, there
was a lot of talk today as it looked like
the Bears could have been changing their logo. All right.
They put out some stuff on social media to focus
on the Bear, the actual the yelling screaming bear logo
that we've seen that has been their one of their logos,
(37:39):
but not the Big Sea, which has been their logo
for basically the last seventy five years. And there's been
a lot of talk are the Bears changing their logo?
It looked like they might be, and the Bears put
out a statement tonight saying, no, we're not changing anything.
We're kind of just making people aware that the bear
is there. So it's really weird. What are the Bears
really trying to do with that? But I gonna tell you, Mike,
(38:01):
I know it's your team, but if I had a vote,
I would change to the bear, the screaming yelling bear,
because number one, the screaming yelling bear is cool. And
number two, now when I look at the Sea, you
know what they do that on the on the inn
and they go, what's the first player you think of
when you see this team's logo? Right? If they did
that and they showed me your see, the first player
that would come to mind is Jay Cutler.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
See I thought you were going to say it was
someone from the Cincinnati Reds. No, you just thought they
got the color of the seat de la Cruz.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
No, I think of Jake Cutler and that you can't
have that connotation. I don't think of Dick Butkis. I
don't think of Walter Payton. I don't think Richard Dent.
I know, No, I think of Jake Cutler. So I mean,
I think it's time change to that bear low because
I think of Jake Cutler when I see that's.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Note to self, where are the suresy tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Lunk?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I mean, look, I think he capitalized on the success
and and tie ins you can have with cocaine bear.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Oh, if you want to change it, making the Cocaine Bear,
you get rid of everything else next everything else.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Man, it was great though. Quote the bear head has
been a co primary mark for many years. Plenty of
merch available with either logo or both if you so choose.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Do you think if the Bears have a crazy season,
they'll be nicknamed the cocaine Bears. It could be like
like you see it on on the different newspapers, Cocaine
Bears win crazy one, you know, or something like that.
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I just don't know how I get away with that.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, I don't know if you but you had a
movie called Cocaine Bear.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, but it was literally a bear eating cocaine.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah. Well, well well people, but it was a movie,
but it was only a movie.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
No, but it was based on an actual bear and
that was doing that. And I mean you can go
see his remnants in Kentucky, right him.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, but still, but it was an entirely new story
like that never happened, like all the stuff that happened
in the movie. That's for.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Quiet. You trying to kill the myth a legend, but yeah,
they come out like a house of fire. And Justin
Fields backs up all those MVP boat. Uh you know
odds and bens that people have made. Then yeah, I guess,
I guess you go down that road. But yes, it
has had people vexed. Today.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You have ruined the Cocaine Bear for me.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Thank you for I dare you? Uh time, No, you're
gonna tell me. Sharknada was a real either. By the way,
It's back in theaters for extenth anniversary this weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
You know, my favorite part about the Sharknado was was
that how the Sharknados when they would fly out of
all the different things that were out of that were
out of whack was that? How when they flew out
of the the ocean they always landed on someone. They
didn't land in a clearing, in a in a in
a tree, on top of a car in the middle
of the street. No, they always landed right on top
of somebody, brilliantly circumnavigating the gloom and the body controlled
(40:50):
by the shark to land on that woman. That was
some kind of shane. Need's a timeout. She is getting
eaten to death by that shark, thrown out of the water.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
