(00:49):
buying should be Well. I kind of feel like Brian
Finley should be here for this story tonight, but he's not,
so it's unfortunate. Jason, don't tell anybody we are like
Steve de Sager would say, Hey, we have to talk
about tell anybody. It's a news story. It's a new story.
We have to talk about it. It's a news story.

(01:10):
The Rockies and the Padres right now are in the
bottom of the eighth inning. It is a scoreless game,
zero zero. The Padres just had to go ahead run
thrown out at the plate, so it's still nothing nothing
with the Padres batting in the bottom of the eighth inning.
The reason we bring this up is you're like, wait
a minute, there's a no hitter going on. Yes, there

(01:31):
is a no hitter going on. It is now a
combined no hitter.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Boom Blake.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Snell taken out after seven innings and one hundred and
four pitches. He struck out ten and walked four, did
not give up a hit. Suarez comes in, has pitched
one inning, didn't give up a hit, two strikeouts, So
the Padres will have a combined no hitter going to
the ninth inning. Now they could be going with the lead.
The Padres have first and second with one out, but

(01:58):
again Ta Tease just gets thrown out at the place.
Could have been the go ahead run. So it's either
going to be a lead and we get a combined
no hitter, or we could have a no hitter zero
zero going to them. Did Dave Roberts pull him, Yes,
he had. Dave Roberts actually left the Dodgers game to
because very quick to go to San Diego. So he
you know, he had a he had a chopper. He

(02:18):
had a he had a chopper that that picked him
up at the stadium in the parking lot right behind
the top of the park. And so the chopper landed,
picked him up, brought him to San Diego. He took
Blake Snell out. Now he's on his way back to
manage the rest of this game against the Yard.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Just kind of running through the motions here, right, Just
don't get hurt. Everybody rolls through. Martinez is gonna end
up hitting like forty home runs down the year, because
right now he is on one for the Dodgers and
it was a peppio night, right, set it and forget it.
I'm off to San Diego. This guy hit one hundred pitches.
I have to be there to give him the hook.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, it is a it is a very uh how
would I say this. It's it's always a very weird
thing to try to break down combined no hitter because
it is a no hitter. Hey, it's a no hitter.
But in the end it's yeah, but it's a combined
no hitter. Oh, all right, great, How.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Excited can I can Dave Roberts career after he retires
from managing be like the official guy that either zooms
in or or makes a physical appearance to take you
out when you're having a milestone thing and you're hitting
one hundred pitches or whatever the restriction is that your
manager wants. Can he be that official guy? You know,

(03:30):
Timmy L. Trumpet was supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
No Like, that's how the guy no Like, that's how
he makes his money after he retires from being a manager.
He comes and takes people out like you pay him
to come and take you out somewhere.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
He's not he's not quite the Grim Reaper, but the
pitching equivalent of him. Yeah, your night's dead.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Like like a youth softball game when hey, our starting pitcher,
I'm gonna change pitchers after three innings, Dave Roberts comes
and takes and takes the picture out. Hey, look at
this Dave Roberts showing up. He makes like a hundred
bucks to come do it a ceremony. You have to
stay for five minutes, you take a picture with the
pitchure of your taking out of the game.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
And now then you get to leave. And that's it, Jason,
you're bearing the lead here. What's that The Mets are
gonna give Blake Snell five hundred million dollars and he's
gonna stink.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Ah Uh, yes, somebody is gonna give Blake. Here's the thing.
The Mets aren't gonna be that team that gives Blake
Snell that money. I like you, guys, he's gonna be
He's gonna be a cy Young finalist this year. He's
gonna win the Young him and Strider and hey, hey,
you know, maybe code Is Sega could be a finalist too.
Uh but look, it looks like Snell and Strider are
gonna wind up being the finalist to the finalists for

(04:31):
the cy Young and and Snell is gonna get paid,
but the Mets aren't gonna pay. The Mets are gonna
look for a starting pitcher in the two to three
year Hey, fifty sixty million dollar range, that's what they're
gonna They're not gonna sit here.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
And hey, guy's great when he's not, and they're gonna
give him all the money and he's gonna stink.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Blake Snell take all our cash, man. This is gonna
be great now that that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Mike Graham and been having the conversations just because folks
say they're not gonna pay the money. Let's see when
the rubber meets the road and the fear of missing
out is there. What if Steele were able to come
in and take the award? I could, although he got
blown up by the Diamondbacks in this last start. Yeah,
never want to face the team twice in a week.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Stride looks looks Strider's having a great year. And Snell.
It looks Snell at the seven inning no hitter tonight
like maybe the no hitter might have done.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
It for him.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
So I would say that there's going to be two
of your finalists, and looks Nell's he's gonna get paid. Man,
he's getting thirty years old. Thirty years old, he's got
a war of almost six. You know for a pitcher,
that's outstanding. I mean, you have guys that have great
years in their war is like you know four. Uh,
he's been pretty consistent this the last couple of years.
He's been okay, He's kind of bounced around. He had

(05:42):
the one great year with Tampa in twenty eighteen, the
World Series. He already won twenty one games. Sure, the
other years he's kind of been Okay, this is his
best year in five years. Oh h, surprise, surprise, here's
a guy having his best year. But he's going to
be a free agent. Yes, I'm not. I'm not too
thrilled the prospect of paying Blake Snell a lot of
money that he's going to get. I just feel pretty good. No,
it's not gonna be us. It's not gonna be us.

(06:05):
It's not gonna be us.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm telling you you're gonna win. It's gonna be may No, No,
it's gonna be It's gonna be like when you're in
a guillotine league and you you place a bid, man,
we could have gotten them for half the price, damn it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh you know, just just for a second, because I
understand that the strategy to the highlight, nobody cares about
your fantasy team, but in our.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Guillotine league, just that we do hear about this.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I just I just want to say this. This is
why guillotine leagues are so good. In case you don't know,
a guillotine league is a league in which you get
sixteen or eighteen teams in you play every week. A quarterback,
two running backs, two receivers, two flexes. That's it. You
don't play if you off with your head right exactly
all you need to do to move on to the

(06:46):
next week is not finished last.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, it's like out, you know, running the bear. I
don't need to be super fast. I just need you
to be a that's all slower.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You can have it. And that's why this is such
a great finish league because all you have you could
feel good every week, and if you feel bad because
you get knocked out, you don't have to worry about
that fantasy league anymore.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
You're done.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're done, right, So all your players get released out
to free agency and you have money to bid on them. Right.
It's not like the team finishing last. No, you have
to bid on free agents because every week resets. Don't
worry about total points anything else. So you bid and
you get one thousand dollars generally to bid all season with.
So you have to budget your money. Nick Chubb became
available last week because a team that got cut had

(07:26):
Nick Chubb. Dan Bayer here at Fox Sports Radio used
nine hundred and twenty four dollars of his free agent
money to get Nick Chubb. Now Nick chubbs somebody you're
not going to replace over the course of the season.
He's going to be your starting running back every single week.
You paid nine hundred and twenty four dollars for Nick Chubb,
and now Nick Chubb is out for the year, and
now Dan Bayer's got like he's got like ice and

(07:49):
tape to try to get.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Through the rest of the buyer was the Steve Cohen
of the league.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Ooh man, Yeah, he spent way too much money, man,
way too much money.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, I mean took to the big gamble, the big shot.
And look when it comes to those high, high dollar
kind of transactions, I mean, you need a help at
the running back, right, you're trying to go Ronco except
for his bye week. This is a guy that's been healthy.
This is a guy. Oh no, And then it goes
to hell. Right, that's to do you've been and sometimes

(08:19):
you get caught in the switches.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I still I can't get over how much fun it
is to do it, to do a guillotine league, Like
it's the only league I want to do now. Like
we're both in dynasty leagues and industry leagues and they're
fun don't get me wrong. They're fun to do and
they're fair fun to go them too. Damn early yeah,
well yeah, yeah it does. But the Guillotine leagues, it's
it's it's it's a fantasy league for twenty twenty three

(08:41):
for nobody cares about your fantasy, right, No, this is
just fantasy.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Categorically, I'm telling I'm not telling you about we opened
the phone lines right now, we'd be answering sit start
calls for people just wanting to curse out players because
they screwed him in fantasy now.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
But the whole best thing about Guillotine is that you
don't have to worry about kickers and defenses. You it's
every week it's you can feel good about escaping. Everybody
feels good. Right, you have a sixteen or eighteen sound.
You wind up starting players that you would never start
in a brillion years, right, Like I got lucky because
last week I'm like, I gotta start Tank Dell. Right,
I gotta start the number three receiver on the Tech.

(09:17):
But hey, I like tank Dell. You had a breakout
game in that out.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I mean you're starting off blind, gets healthy. Tank Hell
might be a regular starter for the rest of you
in the fantasy realm as waivers go to claim tonight,
maybe you want to go look at old Tank Dell
also known as Nathaniel in your player lists, so you
know in case you miss him, uh, trying to look
for Tank.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
But yeah, it's just so great, like like fifteen out
of sixteen owners are happy doing fantasy, and there's there
needs to be a lot more happiness in fantasy, a
lot more happiness in the world in general. But here's
a fantasy league where, hey, we need more happiness in
the world. Sixteen teams in every week, fifteen teams are
gonna be happy. One team is not gonna be happy, right, okay,

(09:58):
but I'll take the fifteen happy versus one unhappy. And
the team that's unhappy you don't have to worry about anymore,
because how many times if you start all my fantasy
team is one and six. I'm done. I'm not even
gonna put a line up in. And then you get
you get a note from the commissioner saying, please put
a lineup in because we need to keep the integrity
of the league and make sure don't play somebody that's
not in the league, and all this blah blah blah.
You're like, Oh, it's such a pain in the ass.

(10:19):
I don't want to pick up free agency anymore. No,
you're out, you're out. Don't worry about You're done. You
walk away. Wait, I'm done.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
No, you're done. You're out.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
You're out. And season is over. Seasons over for it.
Just don't finish last So you guys trash talk Dan. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
I haven't. I haven'tn't haven't.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I did the podcast with him last night. I wasn't
gonna bring it up. I mean, that's like sensitive stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
The perfect place to bring it up.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
You gotta need a couple of days. Yeah, yeah, you gotta.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Recorded tomorrow and I'll ask him. H So, how'd you
replace Nick Chubb with you?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
With your seventy four dollars left in free agency money?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, you know, a lot, a lot of bidden going on.
There's some big names that underperformance through the first two
weeks are becoming a regular contributor to guillotine leagues. Let's
bid on him again. Wasn't he available last week? Yeah?
They sucked again. No, but something Bengals.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Sometimes I won't bid on a guy because I think
he's bad luck Like if like and you get to
the middle point of the season. No, no, no, like
if you go to that's if you get to the
middle point of a season, right. And I think this
happened last year because Paul Charchion, who runs the Guillotine Leagues,
and I said, hey, can you tell me, like, did
the last five teams that got eliminated have Jamar Chase?
Like did he change teams every week? Like for the

(11:36):
last five weeks it was like four out of five weeks,
someone you know, the team with Jamar Chase got knocked out.
Someone bid on him and his team got knocked out.
As good as he is, if that happens, I'm like, no, no, dude,
you're the cooler man. I'm staying away from you. Man,
I'm not gonna pick you up, even if you're a
great player.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
He is what Bill Mason. I just saw Maria Bellow
really turned him around.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
I just watched four teams that picked you up getting
I don't want anything to do with you, man, You're
you are bad. You're a nuclear I'll get somebody else instead.
Fantasy poison not doing it, man, not blew it.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now, So where we are right now we started this
conversation with the Padres and the Rockies. There is now
no more no hitter speaking of sucking.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, yeah, look what we did. Look what you made
me do.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
The Padres do not get a run in the bottom
of the eighth inning. What happens Josh Hater comes in
to pitch the top of the nine and he has
allowed hits to the first two batters for the Rockies.
So the Rockies now have gone from no hits to
two on nobody out in the top of the night.
Think of the chance to win the game.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Ready to defeat the Padres and send them into the
fifth ring of Hell. This is good.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now, that's the guy the Mets are gonna go give
money to. Is Josh Hater. Watch, that's the guy they're
gonna go Yeah, Josh Hater and Edwin Diaz back to back,
that's who. That's the guy.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Is uh, Timmy l still on retainer or what? No?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
No, they getting the rest of the year off and DZ.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Is no, no, no, But I mean is he there
is it? You know, when we need you again, we'll
give you a call.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Oh I think yeah, I think his contract tolls, which
means like we don't use it all this year, so
we just started next year, so it just tolls.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
I like that. That's a good that's a good term.
Good like that, good use of the verbiage to educate America.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know what I learned what that meant was during
the pandemic season when the players who opted out opted
out and it says, oh, your contracts all toll. I'm like,
what does that mean? Like a bell rings and you're done,
You're out the the bit you started going no, I mean,
and that's what I learned. Oh, it means that this
year doesn't count and the next year is the next
year of your contract. A toll is a toll, okay,

(13:41):
and a roll is a role until Yeah, that's right,
very nice, very nice. But if it's Andrew tolls, what
if don't get no tolls?

Speaker 3 (13:48):
But is a hot dog sandwich? Hot dog is not
a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
We're not talking about Deon Sanders. We're not right.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now, we have Dion, we have more Deon to get
to you and it's not right now.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
But it's not right now, Jason, you do realize this
is the last week to talk about Colorado.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's a final I will say this, Okay, look Deon
for a couple minutes before we get to show how
TONI I don't like right now. I don't mean like,
no escalated Quigley. The one thing I will say, because
now we're going to find out how good Colorado is,
right because we still The thing is, we still don't know.
Because TCU lost to Colorado and you beat two week teams,

(14:37):
we have no idea how good.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
That's all I've been trying to say all this time.
Yet I was the bad guy. I was the hater
against Dion Sanders in Colorado because I didn't genuflect. Well.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, well, look they beat TCU. It was a big
win on the road, first game. It's a big win,
but we don't know it's a game. They're where they
should be. They're where they should be. They are they
are right now eighteen nineteen in the country depending on
which pole you look at, and it's where they should
because we just don't know. Now We're gonna find out
this week because they get Oregon, and this is I

(15:12):
know that we're waiting for the bubble to burst for Colorado. However,
these next big tests that they have are against two
teams that I want to say they match up well
against in style, right, because what is what does Oregon
like to do? They score a bunch of points? What
does USC like to do? They score a bunch of points?

(15:33):
How good is USC's defense?

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Not great? Right?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
How good is Oregon's defense? A little bit better? But
you got to give Colorado credit. Shudre Sanders is a
really good quarterback and they can move the ball up
and down the field. So at least what they're doing
is they're playing teams that are similar in style to them.
And I can see Colorado and Oregon, and Colorado and
USC in shootouts where it comes down to the final

(15:57):
five or six minutes of the game. I don't look
at this game against Oregona GA all Organ's gonna win
this fifty six to seven. I can see this being
a shootout. I could see both of the next two
weeks for Colorado being a shootout. So they have a
puncher's chance.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Seeing there wearing your sunglasses or rose colored glasses or
something looking at the positive. I like that. I liked
it about you, Perry positive because they are a three
touchdown underdog. Yeah, and they don't have Travis Hunter.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Right, they were a big they were a big underdog
to TCU.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
We don't know how good they are, but they score
a lot of points. That's the thing. They score a
ton of points. They play well on the road, They
score a ton of points. Shootouts like this happen, you know,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Over under a seventy and a half.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh, I would take the over on that in a
in a second, are you kidding? Oh, in a second,
I take.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
These games won't even be close. Morgan's gonna blow them out,
and USC is gonna beat the bricks off hat.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
No, I know.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Look, I fully expect Colorado to have two losses following
the next two weeks.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Have ten touchdowns in the first half.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
He could, he could, but SHEDR Sanders might have might
have seven. They might have seven or eight. Because USC's
defense is not good at all. But I wouldn't. If
they were playing a team where I walked in they
had a great defense, and this is a high powered
D one team with a great team, I would say, boy,
Colorado's gonna get a lesson and this is what life
in them in the fast lane is really about. But

(17:14):
you know, they they can still score a bunch of points.
You know, I'm not suddenly sold that, okay, this is
this is out right. I mean, you know, yes, they
won eighty one to seven last week, okay, but they
get thirty points a week before, so they give up twenty.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Eight, They gave up fourteen, then they gave up ten.
So I don't know where their defense is. You know.
Obviously week one against San Jose State gave up a
bunch of big plays fifty six to twenty eight, your final.
But the last couple of weeks, and again it's Nevada
and Stanford. Stanford the team nobody wanted.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's still nobody wants.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
It's like Chuck Brown on Halloween. I got a rock,
We got a good stuff. That's kind of where you're at.
But you know, when we look at these next couple
of weeks, they're great for business, for everybody's business, no
question about it. But I've tried to be a realist
about it to get excited about what you see Shador Sanders, Shiloh,

(18:12):
you know, on the defensive side, losing Travis Hunter will
be big and this is obviously a big step up
in class. But you know what we're all gonna watch.
You'll gonn tune in. You know, some folks are gonna
be hate watching. And you know you've always got the
lunatic fringe that that takes it to extreme places. And
you know, we always hope for better for them. But

(18:36):
for the rest of the college football love and world.
It makes for a great show. And for me, I
keep trying to figure out how I can get a
note to Lewis to say, you can come over and
take over Northwestern next year, right, and we can build
this thing, all the new facilities there. You're in Chicago,
you can come take that over, right, and we can
hire a hype man that comes in and gets me.

(18:57):
He gets the boosters excited, can't we? We replicated in
a very small way.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh, because Lewis is gonna take over Colorado when Dion
Lee's when his kids leave, takeover Colorado. Don't go anywhere.
You're staying here, right, same offensive, Yeah, because look at that.
How long is Deon gonna stay? Let how long is
Deon gonna stay at Colorado? Do you really think he's
gonna be there.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
They can't leave for the NFL right this year? Right?

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Oh hey video making the rounds today.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You're taking that extra COVID here, But no, I saw
it doesn't matter. You're taking the extra COVID here. You
are staying. You're gonna stay till twenty thirty to play
quarterback at Colorado. Now, I mean, look, how long is
he's a couple of years? Three years?

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Is that what?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
He's gonna stay there? And then it'll be something else,
maybe a bigger school, you know, calls to him or something.
I mean, really, he's he's not suddenly someone shown up going. Man,
I love it here in Boulder. This is the greatest
town in the world. Now, Dion went to Boulder, where
he would have gone to some someplace else. He would
have gone to another high power d one school that's
gonna allow him do what he wanted to do, get

(19:57):
rid of all the players he wanted to get rid of,
bringing the players he wanted to in. He would have
gone anywhere. There would have been no there would have
been no loyalty to to there. It's the same thing
Aaron Rodgers would have gone to the Giants if the
Giants had a quarterback opening and it wasn't the Jets.
He would have gone to the Giants. He would have said,
that's where I'm gonna go play. That's where you gotta
trade me, because would want to be on to New York.
Yeah you can.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
He'd have thrown.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
He would have thrown like eight touchdowns already for the
Giants they'd been to and oh, look, that's that's the
thing for Dion. He's not gonna stay very long. He
only went to Colorado because Colorado said, okay, why not
because everybody else got scared of Dion? Do we want
to hire this guy? We're bringing a guy in. Is
it really a big chance? And it turned out to
be great? But when you're one and eleven you can
take that chance instead you gotta shoot because it's not

(20:40):
working right And the rest wasn't working. But really two
three years maybe maybe, and then he's in a higher
profile D one school and then you need someplace else,
and then I don't know where he is after that.
Maybe then he decides to go to the NFL. Uh,
but yeah, I mean here he.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Of the year.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, maybe he's Colorado here and then when Harball goes
he goes to Michigan and then Deon's coach in Michigan.
Or or does Dion wait and go back and go
to Florida State? Is that what he waits for?

Speaker 5 (21:05):
It?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
And he goes back to Florida State when that comes
open at some point. Look at you, there's Dion back
at FSU.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
You're just trying to give him lots of jobs. Let
him Let him work on this season first.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Let him coach both teams. I think he is. He
hasn't put systems in or anything. He runs a golf
cart around. He could coach Florida State and he could
coach Colorado at the same Not that Florida State needs help,
but you could come. You coach Bawl although last week
they look really bad against Boston College. Hey, yeah, you
can coach both teams.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Why not? Why not Dan coaches Bake Classic succeed, Abe proceed.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
He'd be the first guy. Hey, practice for this team
is gonna be at three. I'm gonna stay till five.
Then I'm on a plane and practice is gonna start
at night. On tonight, we're gonna go seven to nine.
Tell us take me to get there.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
You got Dion working a Ryan Seacrest schedule. What are
you doing to him? Why not?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
He's already turned college football on its ear with what
he's doing right now. Why to let him coach teams?
Why not Florida State and Colorado? And then if they
play each other? He coaches from the middle of the fiel.
There's like a halo around him, so you can't touch him,
and he just coaches from the middle of the field
both teams.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
He better start traveling right now. He's got like two
weeks left until nobody cares about it.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Ha ha. No, but look, but that a right, screw it.
We'll do show how Toddy in a few minutes, We'll
do Colorado.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
No.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
So the thing with Colorado, and this is a big
worry is that, and I did this this comparison earlier
in the show and it really works, is that Deon
Sanders is a lot like Ronda Rousey when she first
came up in the UFC. Right, you've seen this meteoric
rise by Colorado that came out of nowhere, and suddenly

(22:35):
they're all anybody can talk about. There's no other oxygen
in the room for any other team in college football.
Alabama's making their third quarterback change in three weeks and
nobody cares. A year ago, two years ago, this n
this would have been d story in college football. Nick
Saban's changing quarterbacks again. Richard Todd is coming back to
play quarterback for Alabama. But now nobody can't get it.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
No Jet's quarterback again though.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
No, yeah, but nobody cares. Right, nobody cares because we're
past Alabama as a story and they've lost already, right,
so we're kind of past that now. When Ronda Rowsey
came out, it was the same thing. Ronda Rowsey shows
up in UFC. We didn't really know anything about the
women's division. She kind of created it and Dana White
created it, and she became a white hot superstar everywhere

(23:20):
you went. Ronda Rowsey's one of the top three most
popular athletes in sports. It was her and Lebron and
Brady and and she was in the top everywhere she went.
All her fights were musty everybody on Saturday night. I
think Periscope made millions of dollars because of Ronda Rowsey's
fights because.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
No one's she could have dispatch the next night. It
was the same phenomenon, but Rowsey came out of nowhere.
And when someone does come out of nowhere, you worry
about the the this staying power. Can they stay this
hot for this long because it's it's a it's a
it's a moment in time story. But I said, I

(23:56):
remember I said this because we had Dana White in
studio when he came in studio once we talked about
UFC and it was in the middle of Ronda Rowsey's rand.
She was like five and oh or six and o
or something like that, and I said, I remember saying
to him, you know, Ronda can't lose, and he said,
what do you mean. I go, she can't lose like
she's this bit if she loses, now, how much attention
does she lose in relevance?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Any agreed, remember? And he said yeah, and he went
on to another another. You know, we kind of moved
on from the quich I would have done too, because
I don't want to talk about my big star losing
and losing popularity. But when that happens, you lose interest
a little bit. And Ronda Rowsey lost and what happened
She lost again, and she lost again and then she
went to the WWE, and now she's not in the WWE. Anymore.

(24:37):
She's not doing movies anymore. When she was at the peak,
it was WWE is going to give her all kinds
of millions of dollars to come and she's in movies.
She's gonna start in a remake of Roadhouse and all
of these different things. She's in other movies as well.
And she lost. And from the minute she lost, she
lost a lot of relevancy and people kind of moved
on to something else. Oh wow, Ronda Rowsey lost and

(24:59):
they moved on. It's gonna be the same thing for Colorado.
Colorado has to keep winning to keep the air in
this balloon, and the air in the balloon just gets
bigger and bigger and bigger. Right use, nine million people,
almost ten million people stayed up to watch Colorado Colorado
State on Saturday night all six game. Watch that game.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
It was.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
It was on at ten o'clock on the East coast
and everybody watched Colorado Colorado State. It was insane. But
that's the level of interest in Colorado now because they're
undefeated and they've created this this image around them that
just again it's it's it's a it's a whirlwind that
sucks all the energy and auction out of the room.
But when they lose, because that's kind of what it
is for college football, we lose a little bit of

(25:40):
interest in you. And if Dion loses, suddenly, well Colorado's
not as interesting. They lost their path in the national championship?

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Is not there?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Do we care what he says, because that when you
lose in college football, it's it's you know, it's it's
it's the worst thing that can happen. You go from
being a team that and nobody can get enough to
to say, ah, well they lost their Who are we
looking at someone else? Sell someone else, sell someone else. Right,
We'll look at the winner of Notre Dame in Ohio
State this week and say, boy, look how great they are.
Now no one's gonna get the attention that Colorado has had.

(26:09):
But if Colorado loses, and when they lose, and these
next two games are gonna be really difficult to get
out of, they lose one of these games, and suddenly
you're gonna see a level of interest, their level of
interest decline, and it's We'll still pay attention to when
Dione says something, but it's not gonna be the same.
You're not gonna get the eyeballs on their games that
you once did. You're not gonna get the overall level

(26:31):
of interest because hey, they're not the hot story in
college football anymore, simply because that's how they got big.
They got white hot right away, and everybody wants a
piece of this because it's new and it cuts through
the clutter. When they lose, it's how it goes. You
lose a lot of relevancy and attention. So when Colorado loses,
you're gonna see where things will get back to normal

(26:51):
little bit in college football. We'll start talking about Michigan
and Harbaugh back now and how do they go through
and is Georgia really as good as they are? And
who and can notre Am threaten the playoff in Ohio State.
Then we'll get back to those kind of stories. But
that but trust me, that's gonna happen when Colorado loses.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah, I think the big thing with Colorado is, you know,
do they lose with style points this week? Right? Twenty
one points spread seventy and a half seventy one? Is
you're over under Now it's a question of all right,
are you is it a game or in the second
half are we talking about what was because if it's
close and they lose, then the following week it's like,

(27:30):
all right, they were good enough to hang with Oregon.
Can they play spoiler to USC so you still get
a storyline? Right. It's like you keep feeding me the
mizz and La night on Monday Night. Raw, I've seen this.
I don't know what's changing, but you're giving me it
again and telling me I gotta watch it. Same thing
here Colorado. You'll be able to say, hey, you gotta

(27:51):
watch this because this one's gonna be special. They can
still upset the Apple card for Caleb Williams and for
USC and be a threat to them. This is still
a big game. Why because it's bolder and everybody's still excitable.
But if they go out and get drummed by Oregon
and get man handled in the trenches and this is

(28:12):
not competitive, then yeah, all the air goes out of
the bold.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live from the tirerack dot Com Studios. Now we're going
to need the help of Alex ty Shirt here to
speak Generation z E to us. That was last week, gentlemen,
you helped us out. Thank you well. Welcome in U
welcome in now was last week? He helped us out
with that hanging out quietly? Yeah, that supposedly Travis Kelcey

(28:46):
and Taylor Swift are doing. And you, well, I thought
it was that, Hey, they're hanging out to want anybody
to know that they're dating. And you said, no, hanging
out quietly is you're dating, but you're dating other people. Yep, Okay,
now you sure that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Yeah, basically you're just low key. It's not open. You
guys are just quietly seeing each other. Okay, all right,
and you're seeing other people.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah. Okay. So that was the big football player celebrity
pairing of last week. Yeah, now we have a new one.
According to page six of the New York Post, Kim
Kardashian has been quote hanging out and that's the phrase.
The phrase is hanging out casually. So you gotta explain
that to me. In the second, I shirts playing it

(29:26):
to us. Kim Kardashian hanging out casually with Zach Kim Kardashian, Wow,
hanging Is Zach Wilson's mom there, No, she would have
broken that news on her podcasting. So yeah, And is
Zach Wilson No. Kim Kardashian hanging out casually with Odell

(29:49):
Beckham Junior. So hanging out casually, This is what I
take that to be, because you know, I'm I'm fifty,
so my entertainment news, I gotta you know this. That's
a lot of through people like like like what what
like what what does this mean? Uh?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
You know?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Uh uh top Notch decides no, go Like what does that?
I don't understand what does that mean? I understand what
that means. That's like a that's like an entertainment headlined.
I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
So, hanging out casually, I guess means they're not hiding it,
like they're okay, hang out people knowing, but it's not
super serious. But we also don't know that they're seeing
anybody out. They're hanging out casually, meaning we don't care
if people know, but we're not really serious. It's not
far off.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
So casually something like that means you guys are having
fun hanging out and just seeing where it goes.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
That's all it is. There's no that's what I just see,
and that's what I just said. I think that that's
what I was saying about hanging out casually.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
It's it's more so like if you think about it,
a lot of the dating scene now, there is no monogamy. Really,
it's just casually seeing a bunch of people and somehow,
some way, maybe we have feelings, maybe we like each other.
That's what it basically is.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Just play the Susan Waldman drop, because that's exactly what's happening.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Banging each other.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
There you go, you gotta cut to the chase. Okay, kids,
didn't like your psychobabble or anything. It's just like, all right,
are they aren't they Susan?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Okay? Well, now here's more from from the page six story.
It says the pair have been hanging out in mainly
been hanging out in groups as they share lots of
mutual acquaintances. Now I take that to mean because I'm fifty, Oh, okay,
they they have a bunch of friends, they all go
out together, they all hang out, but they're not with
each other at the time. Like they're all hanging out

(31:31):
with a whole bunch of other people. Now, are you
gonna come see him live?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
He's he's down the street.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Fid Fidelio, Fidelio Nick Nightingale was his name in the movie.
I remember that, Fidelio, Fidelia Fidelio. So what does that mean?
So when hanging out casually, okay, we got it. Now,
hanging out in groups and sharing lots of mutual acquaintances,
what does that mean?

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Yeah, that's just a fans way of saying. They're introducing
each other to each other's friends. That's all it is,
to see if there's a pairing here.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I thought it was a lifestyle thing.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
It does sound very lifestyle. Well it is lifestyle. You
got it, You got it. This is like this is
like spice girls. If you want to get with me,
you gotta get with my friends like you have to
my If my friends don't like you, I'm going to
kick you out.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
This is the most action Odell's had since that catch.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
And now he's hurt again. So he has plenty of time.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
You wonder why he's heard again.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
He's hanging out with Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Of course, now the Kardashian curse women but weak in Yeah,
but can you blame Kim Kardashian. Odell already was someone
that was on the down side of his career.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Really, this is like, this could be the end of
Kim Kardashian. If this is true, the end of kis
Kim Kardashian. Yeah, hanging out.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
We're just kind of milking it to the end as
it is.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
It's washed up. What do you mean milk and that said, yeah,
she's done, She's not, but have to retire. Way to
get a press conference? I'm saying relevancy. This is the
first Kim Kardashian anything I've like circulate anything in a while.
Some some Hollywood insider like George Pinocchio is going to
break the story, Hey, Kim Kardashian is retiring from the

(33:11):
public eye. Uh, we have the press conference coming out.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I just couldn't do it anymore. I realized I had
slowed down, and you know, I didn't really you'd be
well in the media and get clicks and downloads this
year like in the years past. So I'm retiring now.
So now who's gonna fill that void?

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Like?

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Is that now?

Speaker 4 (33:26):
It is like it's if it comes out in a
couple of weeks that she was hanging out with Justin
Fields before all.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Stop with that that because he's he's my quarterback in fantasy.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Quarterback is terrible.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Like I told you that just has to run a lot,
have to give him like twelve twelve or thirty rushing opportunities,
and it's terrible.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
The organization's terrible. Burn it down. I do like the
fact that you you went to the uh local guy,
not not to any of the news magazines that you
see preceding Jeopardy. Say wait, look fortunate you got George panacheing.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
At George Finaccia. W Florence Anthony was my next one.
