Well, oh, you knew it was gonna be a tough road,
perhaps not this this tough and giving you a big
Friday night prime time feature, and you came up small.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Our quarterback threw for thirty seven yards and four.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Picks in thirty six you were still in the game.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Shut up. Thirty seven there was. If there's something in
sports more frustrating than watching that Syracuse Paston college game.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I don't know what it is until Monday night.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Nothing, dude, Are you kidding? Frostberg? You're gonna We're gonna
beat you like thirty seven to ten. Watch Watch Watch
what happens.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
You scored thirty seven points. Honestly, watch what happens on
the last time the Jets, Steve de Seger scored thirty
seven points.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It's gonna be all in interceptions.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
They have to be at least turns all.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Said no, come on, man, come on the last time
to hang on, when's the last time the Jets had
thirty seven pence?
Speaker 5 (01:44):
You don't even have thirty seven this year?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
That is pretty good? Hey, hey, come on. They scored
twenty two in Week one. Okay, hang onu We had
thirty one against Denver a few weeks ago. But uh yeah,
thirty seven, that's gonna okay.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Let me see, well, the last time they scored forty
against the Dogs on the ninth October ninth of twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Uh yeah, oh yeah, we did. We beat the crap
out of them. That was when we were running great, right,
Breese Hall was terrific and Zach Wilson had a good game.
Oh yeah, yeah, no, that was Yeah, that was when
things were awesome and we were starting off great and
Robert Sala's got receipts and all kinds of crazy ass stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Umories said.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It just fell apart. Then it just completely fell apart.
We lost something. It all falls apart. But that's what.
Oh yeah, yeah, that was a good game. Oh that
was a good game.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
You say we like you played.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, hey, the emotional investment that I make I may
as well. And sometimes my emotional investment is better than
what we see on the field. So there's that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Well, there is likely that is to be to be
seen as true. You and Fireman ed getting after it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The only ones we are the only one.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I'm gonna put him on my shoulders and then drop them.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Oh a power bomb. I like it. You know you
need to get a picture with him on Monday? Can
you get a picture with him on Monday? And wasted
his time to go find it? You would have stopped. Wow,
look at you, man, Look at you. You're gonna be upset,
tell you man. Thirty seven ten is gonna be a
tough thing for you to swallow. That'd be really difficult,
(03:11):
very very tough. Herbert throwing four picks, Sauce Gardner with
three of them. It's gonna be tough. Wow, tough game.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
When they play this back for you Monday night, you're
gonna cry.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
Tirack dot Com Studios. Uh, we'll have more NFL coming
up in a few minutes, but tonight was night one
of the NBA In Season Tournament.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Let's go. That's right. No matter how disappointed you are
and how your season's begun for your team, throw the
record out the window, right, no matter how upset you
are the first four games, if you're two and two
or one in three, Oh, doesn't matter. Everybody starts over
except no, because we count these games on the standings. Uh.
The NBA starts their in season Tournament tonight. And it
started tonight, and I think everybody woke up today going,
(03:58):
oh that's tonight. Yeah. Yeah. The NBA put out a
big run for it. All the big social media accounts
we're saying, oh, it starts tonight. Look at where the
floors are going to be a special color everywhere around
the league. We're really pushing this now before we get
to the big takeaway from tonight, because there is a
really big one. Let me just say this, Look, this tournament.
It may wind up being a good idea at some
(04:19):
point because you got to do something in the regular season, right,
because clearly the players don't care about the regular season.
You have devalued it by a lot over the last
couple of years. Players don't want to play. You can't
make them play. So you need something. You need to
turn this into something that the players care about. You
need to make this into a tournament where, hey, this
(04:39):
doesn't count in the regular season. Maybe we play less
games in the regular season. We play seventy five games
in the regular season, but you still play the other
seven games in the tournament. Right, You just take the
games out of the regular season. People aren't going to
care because we still have the same number of games.
You make it separate and you sell it, and there's
a big trophy and there's streamers, and Adam Silver stands
up after awarding the trophy saying, hey, who will join
(05:02):
our champion San Antonio Spurs here, you know later on
this year winning the NBA title, and you make it
worse something, you make it worth something that a team wants.
So that's the first way to fix it. The second
thing to do, why are you having it five games
into this season? Nobody cares yet. This needs to be
during the doldrums of the NBA calendar, when hey, you're
(05:23):
looking for some kind of differentiation. Is once you get
past forty fifty five games, Hey, guess what, this is
how the season's going to end. This needs to be
when there are times during the season when you get
the tediousness of the middle of the year, right, the
equivalent of the dog days of August and Major League Baseball.
That's when you have this tournament. You don't have it
(05:44):
four games in where people are just still excited over
the start of the season and it doesn't really matter tournament,
no tournament. I'm just still excited about the game. I mean,
you didn't start it having it at the right time
at all, and you could have had it cut through
a little bit more, but instead we're having it now.
And honestly, my excitement level for this tournament it's not
that I don't like it. It's I don't have any
(06:04):
more excitement for it than I had anyway. I was
just as excited about the Knicks Bucks game tonight as
I was if it was a tournament game or if
it was just game six of the regular season. There
was no added bonus to this for me. For this,
I was excited for the game, and I would have
been just as excited if this wasn't an NBA n
season tournament.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You keep trying to get the lesser games thing out there.
Nobody's giving back money.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No, no, you're still minding everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No no, no, no, but I mean no, no, no, but
doing your Hey, we're only at seventy ocause these are
still regular season games.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
They still count, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They still count, but you're playing the other seven games.
Can be a tournament and you're still you're still playing.
People are still selling tickets, they're still coming to these games.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, but you're still getting back to eighty two. So
you know, we leave it there, play less.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So do it like the World Baseball Classic and instead
of spring training, we're just participating in this. Here's your
preseason games. It's this tournament. No legitimately all right, now
you actually play and there's a shiny trophy and a
pile of cash, like they wheel out to Lafleur at
the end of Dodgeball for the champion.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Have it in.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Vegas, have it in Chicago, have it wherever the hell
you want. But do it before the season, and then
all right in earnest, and now we now continue our
regular season. You can still do all the pomping circumstances
like it's the first day. Nobody's going to deprive you
of any of those video packages and season previews because
(07:33):
you get a couple of games under your belt. We're
still doing them. Now, what is this team after five
getting it's five games? Right at this point, the Clippers
are still in theory healthy in theory.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
You know your guy RJ.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Barrett is not.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Unfortunately as he misses another game, do do a knee injury.
But yeah, nobody's giving back checks. So's we're getting back
to eighty two games. However, however you slice it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You saw and if eighty two games, you still you
play seventy five of the regular season, and these seven
games wherever you want to play, they're just at You're
still eighty two games total. You're still just taking seven
of these games and making them part of this. You
can even sell the tickets and make them more. You
can make you want to make money, make more money. Hey,
wait a minute, the tickets for the n season tournament
games are a little bit more money than the regular.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, and they're not run by the teams.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They're run by the league like Major League Baseball playoffs
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Just made more money, just made more money for everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There you go, Well, the other is I mean again,
we're still getting back to eighty two. Now we're quibbling
over the details of this, but it's you. You're not
giving away games in your scenario. In mind, it's like
we replaced the preseason. So we don't even go through
that trade. Let's just get after it. NBA players are
never gonna wait a minute. You want us to play
a preseason tournament. Forget it for now.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, but but it counts, and but this time it gallos,
and so we get after it it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Wait a minute, So instead of skipping all these games
I normally get the skip, I have to play in them. No, no, no, no, no,
well no, I mean work that way.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
But you already have how many guys have taken games
off for Rest already. You've had Zion, You've had guys
in Phoenix, You've had like you know, you claim a
bit of injury. We tweaked this that the other they're
they're not coming at you too hard. The dopey Clippers
scheduled this last week. Here's a game on Wednesday. When
(09:25):
do we next see it? Talk to you Monday night,
see everybody. We'll see you when they play the Knicks. Like, wait,
it's week two when you got four days off.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Good for you. That'll come back to bite you in
the ass later on in some scheduling. I haven't looked
that far. Also, are they gonna get James Harden on
the court?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Come on, man, Yeah, really need to ramp it up
with those ninety six hours between. But as we look
at it for the NBA season and just this in
season tournament in general, I'm still questioning, You know why
is who's getting fired up about this?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You get in a giant cash prize to each man,
a giant ceremony, here's a super Bowl ring for you,
or you get a nice one like we saw the
Nuggets give out. That was one hell of a ring there,
including mini ring underneath. So all of that is is fantastic,
great the pageantry of a tournament, but everybody's gonna look
(10:21):
around and going.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
All right, we still got how many games? Seventy one?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, let's go. Yeah, it's it's it's just not
there are different ways to do it, and I can't
believe that this was the winner. Oh you're gonna do it,
like right, it's the beginning. Why not do it at
the beginning of the season. Then why not just kick
it off that? But that's what I mean, why not
just have it. We're gonna start the season with this,
We're gonna start the season with this tournament, and we're
gonna have a winner and that and that's where we go.
(10:44):
We go from there, like why not why are we
playing all let's have four or five games and then
we're gonna have it. I mean, it doesn't make any sense,
but I look, I get that you gotta do something.
But I feel like the NBA is getting to the
point of where the different leagues are are with stunt
casting for all the different All Star tournaments, because we
gotta find some way to get people to watch. So
(11:06):
Major League Baseball tries new things, and the NHL and
NBA keep trying new things every single year, and the
Pro Bowl keeps trying new things. We're just gonna have
guys throw with the uniforms on and everything. I mean,
I feel like the NBA has gotten to that stunt
casting part because now look what they're doing with the
regular season, but look what they're doing with the All
Star Game.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You know what, here's here's a brilliant idea. We're gonna
go back to East versus West.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, for this year, for this show, we have an
announced chat.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Whether they're gonna wear their team uniforms with a patch
or whether I actually have the uniforms or whatever.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
But we'll figure that out.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Let's let's we're gonna lick our finger and hold it
up and see which way the social media blowback comes
at us.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
See, you don't know it's gonna be is. It's gonna be.
Whoever lives on the east side of town in a
city plays on one team. If you go on the
west side of town, you plan another team. That's the
that's the way they do East West. It's gonna be
the East West rivalry. It's like East coast West coast.
We're gonna have that big rivalry.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
That's how well you know what Sometimes it does devolve
back to that. You know, if it brings out the
passion and energy, I'm all good.

(13:49):
It is the aforementioned petefeu Tech. What's happening, bud So.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Between Michigan, Northwestern and Spyracuse. You guys are doing all
right there. You guys are representing them fine kettle of
fish there in the college football.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Heay four and four.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Now, if there's no.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Joke, if I were to say to you, you know
a month ago that Northwestern had a better shot of
going bowling in Colorado, Like it's crazy, Like yeah, all
of a sudden, if you look at the rest of
their schedule. Big ten West thinks they can kind of
figure this out and kind of get their way into
this thing.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Gotta win at Wrigley Field first with the juggernaut Iowa
Hawkeyes on the slate.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
But that's enough Northwestern talk.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yeah, First of all, can we stop with the baseball
like stadium. There's a perfectly good football stadium just a
few miles north of there or south. They're playing US
football stadium Like it's we're done? Can we be done
with this? If the novelties weren't off, I've done now,
I'm okay, I'm back, I'm with.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You, all right. So Pete, earlier we talked about like
one of the biggest games of the day, we got
Washington and USC If. I said to you, because I'm
taking the over five hundred yards passing for Michael Pennix
Junior and five touchdowns, I'll take the over on that easy.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
The problem with that is, I don't think he's done
that yet. See, Washington doesn't score like we think they do.
There are a monster machine they but they don't put
up like the sixty five points. So look, it is
so hard to get the seventy six and a half points.
I mean, remember you remember that, you know that fifty
(15:29):
five thirty one Oregon win over Colorado.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
No, because they didn't get there.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Because it's hard. You can have a parachute not opening.
You know, when Ceo Penix gets injured a little, it's
the defense works and you know, a million things have
to go right to get to like forty eight forty one.
It's so hard to do.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
So it's my.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Thing is you take me under because it's the right play,
and if it goes over, you tip your cap and
you enjoy the show and say, hey that was a time,
because then that would have been a fun game to watch.
But hey, it's not going over. So seventy six and
a half is just as obnoxious. It's thirty and a
half with Northwestern in Iowa.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, who's they lose?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The USC defense, that's all I gotta say. USC defense,
that's all.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
It's bad, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
They You know what, here's the only thing on.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
The USC defense. And you're right, they rush the passer
and what have we learned? And see, look, you guys
have no excuse.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
You guys living in.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
The right time zone. Nobody else in America watched the Stanford.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Game or the Arizona State game.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
This is a flawed Washington team. If you get to
Pennick machine breakdown, and that's the one thing USC can
do is they can kind of rush the passer a
little bit. But with Washington, here's the problem with your
penis bet is that for Washington to win, USC's really
really bad against the run. Their secondaries is good, but
(17:00):
at least.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
It's not awful.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
It's the run defense that you the three of us
can go there and run a little triple option and
go for four hundred and four and Washington doesn't really run.
So this is gonna be fun. I think USD pulls
it off. I think now the pressure is off and
they can still play for the pack cust title, but
not the national title. Pressures off they got by col
I kind of think we're about to see Caleb Williams
(17:24):
go Caleb Williams on this Washington team because spotlight don
I kind of think they pulled this off.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Look at that, Look at what he did to you Smith,
your excitement.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Touchdowns. By halftime, I'll be feeling pretty good.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Here's the crazy if it's if he doesn't This is
kind of because this is prime time. If he doesn't
do that, Who's Heisman? Who isn't a bone?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Nick?
Speaker 7 (17:52):
I mean, who is Jordan Travis? Like, if Pennix doesn't
get Penick can win the Heisman with this game. But
if he's not amazing and he should be against this USD,
I don't know who it is. So this could get
really kind of funky fast.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
JJ McCarthy with a fake mustache.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You know he's here.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
I will be interested to see because let's say he
goes off on tenn State. Let's he say he goes
off on Ohio State. Let's say he's legitimately the best
player in college football for twenty twenty three. They're gonna
be voter three and be like, not anywhere near my
ballot because they're just gonna student that at he knew
what the defenses were.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
In advance, and not because he was a wizard of
some sort.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
No.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Uh, look exactly, as we've flow through one of the
other topics we were getting into a little bit before Pete,
I'm about done with Dabos Sweeney.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So if he could just lose out and leave, that would.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Be great part of the gig. Yeah, I mean, look,
I find out Washington take a loan. I know I'm
about to get like at least a couple of angry
responses from yelling at me for being the idiot that
I am. I know how this works, but that's what
that's what I do. That's what I've signed up for
(19:08):
by coming on your show. If you're Dabo Sweeney and
you're the eleven million dollar head coach, yeah, yeah, take
it from you know, Fred from Spartanburg or whatever his
name was.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
I mean, because.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
That's part of the deal here, is that you're supposed
to just sit there and eat it when your team's
not playing as well as it's supposed to be playing
because you refuse to go to the transfer portal. Look,
it's I'm not look at the Clenson losses. Not hyperbole
here to say that if it went through the transfer
portal and it got Keon Coleman from Michigan State and
(19:40):
Florida State didn't flip that around. There comes Comes is
actually closer to being undefeated right now than they are
the being three and five. So they are one deep
threat receiver away. And because they don't do that transfer
portal thing, the kids are all into No, it's just
not happening.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Beats you Tech College Football our guest The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Carmen live in Thetirek dot Com Studios. Okay,
so Nick Saban says, it's the most funny sad coaching
this Alabama team. The pressure is off. Is he still
having fun after LSU on Saturday?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
If that's the game for the over that if you
want to see the that's the one that I'm kind
of thinking. Is the a little bit too light on
the point total line? Because that is huge. It doesn't
play any defense. That is going to be a wild
and crazy fun game. It's Alabama at home only giving
(20:33):
away three.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
It's in my nature you just have to go Bama
on this.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
But yeah, this should be a foin firefight because both
teams are just gonna sit there and just keep scoring
all game long. It's just it's looks.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
SEC's bad this year.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
So why can't you have fun with this? If you're
you know, Nick Saban, not all the Power five conferences.
The SEC is dead last among all Power five conferences
and head to matches matchups with other Power five conferences
and those law were all kind of blowouts too. So yeah, Alabama,
you knew you, and you go out and beat up
those bad, mediocre sec West seams.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And now let's use kind of one of them right now,
so we we get back into the fun story.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You know, threw up the JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Obviously, Connor Stallions is no longer there, finally fired he
made Why.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
But for what did he do?
Speaker 7 (21:25):
Why would he get fired? He was only following orders,
of course, you know I didn't he order the code red? Look,
this is so the bestest when now now the Michigan
side has gone on this this crazy rail of thing.
Oh it was you know, Ryan Dave's brother. So this
(21:46):
is this is taking out a whole life of its own.
And I don't know what the Big ten does, because
you're gonna have You're gonna have a riot soon from
another Big Ten coaches and ads, which at the very
least they're like, come on, like give us something here,
meanwhy you know what? The Big Ten doesn't want to
feel like it's being bullied by coaches or ads ever,
(22:08):
and in their dream world, they can get to next
week at this time and just get to the Penn
State game, get those Penn State pom Poms out and
hope that the Knitney Lions take care of this for them,
because the last thing they want to do is that
the whole goal to Big Ten right now and those
offices is do whatever it takes to not have to
suspend Michigan from the Big Ten championship game, and maybe
(22:31):
it'll have stay in Penn State takes that take care
of the for him, which makes tomorrow's game, it's produe fascinating,
because does Michigan come out of that tunnels like, you
know what, maybe we shouldn't win this game sixty five
to one, you know, maybe maybe we just shouldn't play
this straight or they just say, you know what, We're Michigan,
come come and get it, and they just you know,
(22:51):
roll it up. So I can't wait to see what
this game is like tomorrow for this Michigan team. You know.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The thing is, Pete, is that looking at this and
understanding that there's no responsibility that the College Football Playoff
Committee has in keeping Michigan out of the playoff if
the Big Ten rules them to be ineligible. But I
can't see the College Football Playoff me be saying yes,
we're gonna start civil war in college football. And if
the Big Ten says Michigan, you're ineligible to win, the
(23:19):
conference will take you for the playoff. They're not gonna
be that's gonna be a civil war peat. That's not
gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Well, but that's not their job.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
See the college and this and this, they're right because
the College Football Playoffs Committee hasn't out Their job is
to say, give us the whatever teams are eligible for
Bullgate like, they're not gonna they can't. They can't put
James Madison in their top twenty five because they are
not technically eligible because of what provincial provisional of the
year or whatever, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
It's stupid.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Jacksonville State, you know. So what they can say is, look,
our job is you're you're giving us the materials here.
Our job is to evaluate them. It's not their job
to rule or be the judge on what or who
or who isn't eligible for whatever. Their job is to say,
this team beat team AB, team B, and they did
(24:12):
it by this much, and we saw them play and
they were dominant and they weren't dominant, and they weren't
great at this.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
So on this they get a free path.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
It's the NCAA that's got to be the one that
says go, no go, the Big ten can rule. However
it was and the hard part about this too, And
then this is where the other schools are right last year,
after the little kerfuffle and the tunnel between Michigan and
Michigan State players immediately the Big ten rule that made
a bunch of players ineligible after that fight, they can
(24:40):
do whatever they want. They can kind of rule and
make up. But what do you do, I mean, how
if you talk about civil war, how do you say, yeah,
you know what, We're gonna punish Michigan by doing this,
because the last thing they want to do is tick
off their billion dollar benefactors we're paying for all this
or make it look like, oh look, Ohio State got
(25:02):
to win by why? I mean, this is a bad
situation for the Big ten to have to deal.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
With, all right, one of the last one for me,
number nine versus number twenty two Oklahoma five and a
half point favorites on the road at Okye State and
we're talking about two teams, I mean, part of a
log jam at four and one in conference Pete, how
do you see this? One sixty two is your your
total to try to get towards that Smithian mid seventies number.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah, I like Oklahoma State.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
They're just playing better.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I mean, look, they figured it out. They all of a.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Sudden, they stopped turning the ball over. They're running the
ball better, and they're just playing great. They're just getting
the job done. Oklahoma, they got the big win over Texas,
but they've kind of been okay against a lot of
other mediocre teams. They didn't actually play at Michigan like schedule,
but they haven't played a whole bunch of killers outside
of Texas.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
And then they go to Kansas and move that. I
think the Oklahoma State thinks.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
For real, I'm saying that they win this and I
think they survive in advance. I think Texas beats Kansas
State and all of a sudden, this big big twelve
season goes absolutely off the rails.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
All right, speaking off the rails, I know he's been fired,
but what sideline do we see Connor Stallions on this weekend?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
He's brilliant?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
You know what it's because this is not a real
world thing, because we're not talking about an actual law
being broken.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
This is phenomenal performance. Sorry, this is fantastic, you know
how do you not love this? There is a thirty
for thirty in here somewhere.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
There's gotta be some This is just fantastic stuff.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
I mean, you've got to know.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
The second he got fired, some coach out there was like,
h maybe you know we shouldn't hire this kid.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Maybe give him a different name or something.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, put him out a milkshake diet so he's unrecognizable exactly.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
We're gonna call him Bill Mustang, and we're gonna put
him on a sideline.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Give him a hat, and we're gonna we're just gonna
kind of hide him here. But obviously he's really really
good at his job.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh last one, That's what I've forgot about this one.
Pat Shermer's gonna call plays Lewis demoted in Colorado? What
the hell are we doing?
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Yeah, basically it's Deane said, you're getting my kid killed
back there. I mean, you know what Shadur standards for
all the flash and all the other stuff.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
That's tell her out.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
If I'm a pro scout, I watched.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
That game and I'm like, this guy is tough as nailed.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Because USC or UCLA wore him as a hat and
he kept getting up and he kept playing, and he
kept fighting through that beating he took because they cannot
block at all. And this week they get an Oregon
State defense whose pass rush is it UCLA is, but
it's not far off. And so all they're trying to
do is they got to come up with a different
(27:45):
blocking scheme because this one from Sean Lewis and Kent
State or from his old Kent State is not enough.
Speaker 1 (27:53):

(28:40):
excitement of night one the NBA oh yeah season tournaments.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Oo, Jason Milicks lost, nothing changed the.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Hackles on my yeah, I know the Knicks loss because
Julius Randall stinks. That's why the Knicks lost. He's a
progress stopper. He is a progress stopper. He takes too
many show and being the one A on the team,
he gets the green light to do it because I'm
a really good player. And all he does is hold
the Knicks back, and they're not gonna go forward until
they figure that out. And that's either getting Joel Embiid
(29:13):
or making a trade for Karl Anthony Towns and sending
Julius Randall out. But he is just killing them with
his four for eighteen nights, and he keeps shooting the
ball and he can't get his own shot, and he
can't do any to go off at double teams. So
you tell me what's going on. He is a progress stopper,
Julius rand He's like local and federal governments. They tell
you a lot of stuff's going on, but then there's
(29:33):
no uh no results. But there is a lot of shots.
I gotta no, there is a lot of it. We
got nothing for you. There is a big takeaway, a
really big takeaway coming off this game, because this is
a game where the Bucks were in control most of
the night, Like it was a huge night for Jalen Brunson,
who is incredible for the Knicks tonight. I mean, the
(29:54):
guy goes for forty five and Julius lost stakes. The
Knicks take the lead on a Brunson three with a
minute left to go. This has been a game that
the Bucks had been leading throughout and suddenly the Knicks
take the lead. And this is where in years past
things would get a little hairy for Milwaukee. Okay, well,
Jannis is gonna take the shot. But now the whole
(30:15):
world knows Jannis is gonna take the shot. So will
they be able to double him? Will he able to
get the ball to somebody? Will Middleton take a big
shot and make it? Can he take a contested shot
in traffic and make it? Is he that kind of guy?
But what happened on the next two possessions? Next two possessions,
Jannis has the ball out behind the arc and he's
just waiting, waiting, waiting, He's dribbling, waiting for Damian Lillard
(30:35):
to come off a screen, and he waits. Lillard comes
off a screen. Lillard buries a three to give the
Bucks the lead back. Next possession, the Bucks get the ball,
they're out on the fast break. Lillard goes in for
a breakaway layup. He makes it. He goes to the
free throw line for an n one. Suddenly it's a
five point game and the Bucks win. These two possessions
by Milwaukee. I watch that and I go, are we really?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Are?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
We really? Just ignore thinking it too deeply. I think
that the Bucks aren't gonna win the title because they
have Damian Lillard. I mean, really, I could see the
regular season going this way and the playoffs going this way. Yes,
Giannis can still make big shots, but now it's gonna
be a motivated Lillard who shows up wanting to win
a title, and it's gonna be an incredible force throughout
(31:23):
the playoffs. No one could stop him when he was
with Portland. How who's gonna stop when he's playing opposite Giannis?
And we may have a very boring regular season in
playoffs because at the end, the Bucks are gonna win.
Lillard's gonna be the MVP of the finals, and we're
gonna go. Of course, the Bucks won. They got Lillard
in the offseason. What the hell are we doing talking
about anything else other than Wenby and what great a
(31:43):
player he is. Why are we doing anything else? Because
you know, we could overthink so many different things. But
in the end, watching just that that little that two
play sequence might come saying, who's gonna stop that. Who's
gonna be able to say, Okay, Dame is not gonna
be able to win games like this is why they
got him, and just in those two possessions to take
(32:04):
a game where hey, the Bucks were a little with
they're a little rickety now and we don't know, we're
a little nervous, little clenched up. No, Dame says, give
me the ball. He makes a very calm three. He
makes the layups. Since the free throw in the game
is over, we may at the end of watch him
holding up the Larry O'Brien trophy and go, of course
they were gonna win good because they got of course, Well,
why do we think that we thought too much? We
were too stupid, We thought we thought we made it
(32:25):
too complicated, We got too cute. Of course they were
gonna win, all right. So a couple of things. I
like that.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
The yannest part of it is the since day one
he's just said, oh, it's his team now.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So like whatever, I got my title, I know what
I am. I got it was good. Yeah. I don't
think it was just a talking point. I think it
was all right.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
He can he can be the guy, right you guys
want to make him there. I don't care as long
as we win, right and as evidenced by the extension,
uh and getting stuff done right. So uh, you look
at the process there, you've got two closers, and once
you start to overload the other way on Lillard, that
means Giannis is roaming free, right uh. And some of
(33:08):
these other veteran players that are still on that squad
find it interesting. And I'm gonna ask you a very
pointed question in a moment. First off, x Nick, now great,
Christaps Porzingis and the Celtics are four and oh pushed
them aside for a moment. Sixers are three and one
right now? Is it the absence of a hardener? Doc
Rivers go, oh, it's definitely, it's definitely.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Doc Rivers just because that's a better storyline because hard
you knew what was coming. We're gonna get rid of them.
It's gonna be fine. No, it's got to be Doc
Rivers because maybe because the whole time, we can just
say maybe Doc Rivers was the just like maybe Joe
Girardi was the problem with the Philly that's all. Maybe
maybe Doc Rivers was the problem because you know, Harden
was an issue and I had to get rid of it.
That's where everywhere everybody goes. Everybody gets better when you
(33:54):
get rid of James Arden out. That's how the last
three years have gone. Do you think the Sixers started
playing like finger Foot after he was dismissed, like the
Raiders roll in the locker room playing a little nerve
poop after McDaniel's got fired. They're saying, oh, wait a minute, wait,
we were actually still really good and maybe better with that.
Why are we so worried about trading the guy? Oh
(34:16):
my god, we should have traded the months ago. Why
it takes all over this to happen. It's funny how
that works, right when you piece it all together again.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We are four games into the season. But but I mean,
some delicious storylines already start to creep out. But yeah,
Milwaukee's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
You guys do know the Lakers are back.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I have heard ye before.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Whether it's just you say it enough so it's in
my ears reverberating, or you're still rolling with the Bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Well, we were talking about the Eastern Conference here.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Jason said they're winning the title.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Oh yeah, no, I'm not going there. It's hard to
not roll with the Bucks. I mean, but I'm certainly
not going Lakers. You're talking, You're talking about a combination
to these two players where Damian Lillard's game just feeds
right off of what Yiannis can do, and it being
new and the NBA needing some time to adjust to it.
Maybe in a year or two. They think, you know,
(35:12):
Lillard slows down little bit, but man, I can see
them just steam. And then in the playoffs, of course,
Lillard starts making all these clutch.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Shots until he turns into a pumpkin in the second round.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Boom, exit out about of Fresca, exit swollen down. The

Our quarterback threw for thirty seven yards and four.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Picks in thirty six you were still in the game.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Shut up. Thirty seven there was. If there's something in
sports more frustrating than watching that Syracuse Paston college game.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I don't know what it is until Monday night.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Nothing, dude, Are you kidding? Frostberg? You're gonna We're gonna

Speaker 5 (01:26):
You scored thirty seven points. Honestly, watch what happens on
the last time the Jets, Steve de Seger scored thirty
seven points.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It's gonna be all in interceptions.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
They have to be at least turns all.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Said no, come on, man, come on the last time
to hang on, when's the last time the Jets had
thirty seven pence?
Speaker 5 (01:44):
You don't even have thirty seven this year?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
That is pretty good? Hey, hey, come on. They scored
twenty two in Week one. Okay, hang onu We had
thirty one against Denver a few weeks ago. But uh yeah,
thirty seven, that's gonna okay.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Let me see, well, the last time they scored forty
against the Dogs on the ninth October ninth of twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Uh yeah, oh yeah, we did. We beat the crap
out of them. That was when we were running great, right,
Breese Hall was terrific and Zach Wilson had a good game.
Oh yeah, yeah, no, that was Yeah, that was when
things were awesome and we were starting off great and
Robert Sala's got receipts and all kinds of crazy ass stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Umories said.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It just fell apart. Then it just completely fell apart.
We lost something. It all falls apart. But that's what.
Oh yeah, yeah, that was a good game. Oh that
was a good game.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
You say we like you played.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, hey, the emotional investment that I make I may
as well. And sometimes my emotional investment is better than
what we see on the field. So there's that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Well, there is likely that is to be to be
seen as true. You and Fireman ed getting after it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The only ones we are the only one.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I'm gonna put him on my shoulders and then drop them.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Oh a power bomb. I like it. You know you
need to get a picture with him on Monday? Can
you get a picture with him on Monday? And wasted
his time to go find it? You would have stopped. Wow,
look at you, man, Look at you. You're gonna be upset,
tell you man. Thirty seven ten is gonna be a
tough thing for you to swallow. That'd be really difficult,
(03:11):
very very tough. Herbert throwing four picks, Sauce Gardner with
three of them. It's gonna be tough. Wow, tough game.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
When they play this back for you Monday night, you're
gonna cry.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
Tirack dot Com Studios. Uh, we'll have more NFL coming
up in a few minutes, but tonight was night one
of the NBA In Season Tournament.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Let's go. That's right. No matter how disappointed you are
and how your season's begun for your team, throw the
record out the window, right, no matter how upset you
are the first four games, if you're two and two
or one in three, Oh, doesn't matter. Everybody starts over
except no, because we count these games on the standings. Uh.
The NBA starts their in season Tournament tonight. And it
started tonight, and I think everybody woke up today going,
(03:58):
oh that's tonight. Yeah. Yeah. The NBA put out a
big run for it. All the big social media accounts
we're saying, oh, it starts tonight. Look at where the
floors are going to be a special color everywhere around
the league. We're really pushing this now before we get
to the big takeaway from tonight, because there is a
really big one. Let me just say this, Look, this tournament.
It may wind up being a good idea at some
(04:19):
point because you got to do something in the regular season, right,
because clearly the players don't care about the regular season.
You have devalued it by a lot over the last
couple of years. Players don't want to play. You can't
make them play. So you need something. You need to
turn this into something that the players care about. You
need to make this into a tournament where, hey, this
(04:39):
doesn't count in the regular season. Maybe we play less
games in the regular season. We play seventy five games
in the regular season, but you still play the other
seven games in the tournament. Right, You just take the
games out of the regular season. People aren't going to
care because we still have the same number of games.
You make it separate and you sell it, and there's
a big trophy and there's streamers, and Adam Silver stands
up after awarding the trophy saying, hey, who will join
(05:02):
our champion San Antonio Spurs here, you know later on
this year winning the NBA title, and you make it
worse something, you make it worth something that a team wants.
So that's the first way to fix it. The second
thing to do, why are you having it five games
into this season? Nobody cares yet. This needs to be
during the doldrums of the NBA calendar, when hey, you're
(05:23):
looking for some kind of differentiation. Is once you get
past forty fifty five games, Hey, guess what, this is
how the season's going to end. This needs to be
when there are times during the season when you get
the tediousness of the middle of the year, right, the
equivalent of the dog days of August and Major League Baseball.
That's when you have this tournament. You don't have it
(05:44):
four games in where people are just still excited over
the start of the season and it doesn't really matter tournament,
no tournament. I'm just still excited about the game. I mean,
you didn't start it having it at the right time
at all, and you could have had it cut through
a little bit more, but instead we're having it now.
And honestly, my excitement level for this tournament it's not
that I don't like it. It's I don't have any
(06:04):
more excitement for it than I had anyway. I was
just as excited about the Knicks Bucks game tonight as
I was if it was a tournament game or if
it was just game six of the regular season. There
was no added bonus to this for me. For this,
I was excited for the game, and I would have
been just as excited if this wasn't an NBA n
season tournament.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You keep trying to get the lesser games thing out there.
Nobody's giving back money.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No, no, you're still minding everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No no, no, no, but I mean no, no, no, but
doing your Hey, we're only at seventy ocause these are
still regular season games.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
They still count, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They still count, but you're playing the other seven games.
Can be a tournament and you're still you're still playing.
People are still selling tickets, they're still coming to these games.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, but you're still getting back to eighty two. So
you know, we leave it there, play less.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So do it like the World Baseball Classic and instead
of spring training, we're just participating in this. Here's your
preseason games. It's this tournament. No legitimately all right, now
you actually play and there's a shiny trophy and a
pile of cash, like they wheel out to Lafleur at
the end of Dodgeball for the champion.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Have it in.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Vegas, have it in Chicago, have it wherever the hell
you want. But do it before the season, and then
all right in earnest, and now we now continue our
regular season. You can still do all the pomping circumstances
like it's the first day. Nobody's going to deprive you
of any of those video packages and season previews because
(07:33):
you get a couple of games under your belt. We're
still doing them. Now, what is this team after five
getting it's five games? Right at this point, the Clippers
are still in theory healthy in theory.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
You know your guy RJ.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Barrett is not.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Unfortunately as he misses another game, do do a knee injury.
But yeah, nobody's giving back checks. So's we're getting back
to eighty two games. However, however you slice it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You saw and if eighty two games, you still you
play seventy five of the regular season, and these seven
games wherever you want to play, they're just at You're
still eighty two games total. You're still just taking seven
of these games and making them part of this. You
can even sell the tickets and make them more. You
can make you want to make money, make more money. Hey,
wait a minute, the tickets for the n season tournament
games are a little bit more money than the regular.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, and they're not run by the teams.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They're run by the league like Major League Baseball playoffs
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Just made more money, just made more money for everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There you go, Well, the other is I mean again,
we're still getting back to eighty two. Now we're quibbling
over the details of this, but it's you. You're not
giving away games in your scenario. In mind, it's like
we replaced the preseason. So we don't even go through
that trade. Let's just get after it. NBA players are
never gonna wait a minute. You want us to play
a preseason tournament. Forget it for now.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, but but it counts, and but this time it gallos,
and so we get after it it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Wait a minute, So instead of skipping all these games
I normally get the skip, I have to play in them. No, no, no, no, no,
well no, I mean work that way.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
But you already have how many guys have taken games
off for Rest already. You've had Zion, You've had guys
in Phoenix, You've had like you know, you claim a
bit of injury. We tweaked this that the other they're
they're not coming at you too hard. The dopey Clippers
scheduled this last week. Here's a game on Wednesday. When
(09:25):
do we next see it? Talk to you Monday night,
see everybody. We'll see you when they play the Knicks. Like, wait,
it's week two when you got four days off.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Good for you. That'll come back to bite you in
the ass later on in some scheduling. I haven't looked
that far. Also, are they gonna get James Harden on
the court?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Come on, man, Yeah, really need to ramp it up
with those ninety six hours between. But as we look
at it for the NBA season and just this in
season tournament in general, I'm still questioning, You know why
is who's getting fired up about this?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You get in a giant cash prize to each man,
a giant ceremony, here's a super Bowl ring for you,
or you get a nice one like we saw the
Nuggets give out. That was one hell of a ring there,
including mini ring underneath. So all of that is is fantastic,
great the pageantry of a tournament, but everybody's gonna look
(10:21):
around and going.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
All right, we still got how many games? Seventy one?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, let's go. Yeah, it's it's it's just not
there are different ways to do it, and I can't
believe that this was the winner. Oh you're gonna do it,
like right, it's the beginning. Why not do it at
the beginning of the season. Then why not just kick
it off that? But that's what I mean, why not
just have it. We're gonna start the season with this,
We're gonna start the season with this tournament, and we're
gonna have a winner and that and that's where we go.
(10:44):
We go from there, like why not why are we
playing all let's have four or five games and then
we're gonna have it. I mean, it doesn't make any sense,
but I look, I get that you gotta do something.
But I feel like the NBA is getting to the
point of where the different leagues are are with stunt
casting for all the different All Star tournaments, because we
gotta find some way to get people to watch. So
(11:06):
Major League Baseball tries new things, and the NHL and
NBA keep trying new things every single year, and the
Pro Bowl keeps trying new things. We're just gonna have
guys throw with the uniforms on and everything. I mean,
I feel like the NBA has gotten to that stunt
casting part because now look what they're doing with the
regular season, but look what they're doing with the All
Star Game.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You know what, here's here's a brilliant idea. We're gonna
go back to East versus West.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, for this year, for this show, we have an
announced chat.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Whether they're gonna wear their team uniforms with a patch
or whether I actually have the uniforms or whatever.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
But we'll figure that out.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Let's let's we're gonna lick our finger and hold it
up and see which way the social media blowback comes
at us.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
See, you don't know it's gonna be is. It's gonna be.
Whoever lives on the east side of town in a
city plays on one team. If you go on the
west side of town, you plan another team. That's the
that's the way they do East West. It's gonna be
the East West rivalry. It's like East coast West coast.
We're gonna have that big rivalry.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
That's how well you know what Sometimes it does devolve
back to that. You know, if it brings out the
passion and energy, I'm all good.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
Between Michigan, Northwestern and Spyracuse. You guys are doing all
right there. You guys are representing them fine kettle of
fish there in the college football.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Heay four and four.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Now, if there's no.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Joke, if I were to say to you, you know
a month ago that Northwestern had a better shot of
going bowling in Colorado, Like it's crazy, Like yeah, all
of a sudden, if you look at the rest of
their schedule. Big ten West thinks they can kind of
figure this out and kind of get their way into
this thing.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Gotta win at Wrigley Field first with the juggernaut Iowa
Hawkeyes on the slate.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
But that's enough Northwestern talk.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yeah, First of all, can we stop with the baseball
like stadium. There's a perfectly good football stadium just a
few miles north of there or south. They're playing US
football stadium Like it's we're done? Can we be done
with this? If the novelties weren't off, I've done now,
I'm okay, I'm back, I'm with.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You, all right. So Pete, earlier we talked about like
one of the biggest games of the day, we got
Washington and USC If. I said to you, because I'm
taking the over five hundred yards passing for Michael Pennix
Junior and five touchdowns, I'll take the over on that easy.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
The problem with that is, I don't think he's done
that yet. See, Washington doesn't score like we think they do.
There are a monster machine they but they don't put
up like the sixty five points. So look, it is
so hard to get the seventy six and a half points.
I mean, remember you remember that, you know that fifty
(15:29):
five thirty one Oregon win over Colorado.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
No, because they didn't get there.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Because it's hard. You can have a parachute not opening.
You know, when Ceo Penix gets injured a little, it's
the defense works and you know, a million things have
to go right to get to like forty eight forty one.
It's so hard to do.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
So it's my.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Thing is you take me under because it's the right play,
and if it goes over, you tip your cap and
you enjoy the show and say, hey that was a time,
because then that would have been a fun game to watch.
But hey, it's not going over. So seventy six and
a half is just as obnoxious. It's thirty and a
half with Northwestern in Iowa.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, who's they lose?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The USC defense, that's all I gotta say. USC defense,
that's all.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
It's bad, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
They You know what, here's the only thing on.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
The USC defense. And you're right, they rush the passer
and what have we learned? And see, look, you guys
have no excuse.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
You guys living in.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
The right time zone. Nobody else in America watched the Stanford.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Game or the Arizona State game.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
This is a flawed Washington team. If you get to
Pennick machine breakdown, and that's the one thing USC can
do is they can kind of rush the passer a
little bit. But with Washington, here's the problem with your
penis bet is that for Washington to win, USC's really
really bad against the run. Their secondaries is good, but
(17:00):
at least.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
It's not awful.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
It's the run defense that you the three of us
can go there and run a little triple option and
go for four hundred and four and Washington doesn't really run.
So this is gonna be fun. I think USD pulls
it off. I think now the pressure is off and
they can still play for the pack cust title, but
not the national title. Pressures off they got by col
I kind of think we're about to see Caleb Williams
(17:24):
go Caleb Williams on this Washington team because spotlight don
I kind of think they pulled this off.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Look at that, Look at what he did to you Smith,
your excitement.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Touchdowns. By halftime, I'll be feeling pretty good.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Here's the crazy if it's if he doesn't This is
kind of because this is prime time. If he doesn't
do that, Who's Heisman? Who isn't a bone?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Nick?
Speaker 7 (17:52):
I mean, who is Jordan Travis? Like, if Pennix doesn't
get Penick can win the Heisman with this game. But
if he's not amazing and he should be against this USD,
I don't know who it is. So this could get
really kind of funky fast.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
JJ McCarthy with a fake mustache.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You know he's here.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
I will be interested to see because let's say he
goes off on tenn State. Let's he say he goes
off on Ohio State. Let's say he's legitimately the best
player in college football for twenty twenty three. They're gonna
be voter three and be like, not anywhere near my
ballot because they're just gonna student that at he knew
what the defenses were.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
In advance, and not because he was a wizard of
some sort.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
No.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Uh, look exactly, as we've flow through one of the
other topics we were getting into a little bit before Pete,
I'm about done with Dabos Sweeney.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So if he could just lose out and leave, that would.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Be great part of the gig. Yeah, I mean, look,
I find out Washington take a loan. I know I'm
about to get like at least a couple of angry
responses from yelling at me for being the idiot that
I am. I know how this works, but that's what
that's what I do. That's what I've signed up for
(19:08):
by coming on your show. If you're Dabo Sweeney and
you're the eleven million dollar head coach, yeah, yeah, take
it from you know, Fred from Spartanburg or whatever his
name was.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
I mean, because.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
That's part of the deal here, is that you're supposed
to just sit there and eat it when your team's
not playing as well as it's supposed to be playing
because you refuse to go to the transfer portal. Look,
it's I'm not look at the Clenson losses. Not hyperbole
here to say that if it went through the transfer
portal and it got Keon Coleman from Michigan State and
(19:40):
Florida State didn't flip that around. There comes Comes is
actually closer to being undefeated right now than they are
the being three and five. So they are one deep
threat receiver away. And because they don't do that transfer
portal thing, the kids are all into No, it's just
not happening.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Beats you Tech College Football our guest The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Carmen live in Thetirek dot Com Studios. Okay,
so Nick Saban says, it's the most funny sad coaching
this Alabama team. The pressure is off. Is he still
having fun after LSU on Saturday?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
If that's the game for the over that if you
want to see the that's the one that I'm kind
of thinking. Is the a little bit too light on
the point total line? Because that is huge. It doesn't
play any defense. That is going to be a wild
and crazy fun game. It's Alabama at home only giving
(20:33):
away three.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
It's in my nature you just have to go Bama
on this.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
But yeah, this should be a foin firefight because both
teams are just gonna sit there and just keep scoring
all game long. It's just it's looks.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
SEC's bad this year.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
So why can't you have fun with this? If you're
you know, Nick Saban, not all the Power five conferences.
The SEC is dead last among all Power five conferences
and head to matches matchups with other Power five conferences
and those law were all kind of blowouts too. So yeah, Alabama,
you knew you, and you go out and beat up
those bad, mediocre sec West seams.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And now let's use kind of one of them right now,
so we we get back into the fun story.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You know, threw up the JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Obviously, Connor Stallions is no longer there, finally fired he
made Why.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
But for what did he do?
Speaker 7 (21:25):
Why would he get fired? He was only following orders,
of course, you know I didn't he order the code red? Look,
this is so the bestest when now now the Michigan
side has gone on this this crazy rail of thing.
Oh it was you know, Ryan Dave's brother. So this
(21:46):
is this is taking out a whole life of its own.
And I don't know what the Big ten does, because
you're gonna have You're gonna have a riot soon from
another Big Ten coaches and ads, which at the very
least they're like, come on, like give us something here,
meanwhy you know what? The Big Ten doesn't want to
feel like it's being bullied by coaches or ads ever,
(22:08):
and in their dream world, they can get to next
week at this time and just get to the Penn
State game, get those Penn State pom Poms out and
hope that the Knitney Lions take care of this for them,
because the last thing they want to do is that
the whole goal to Big Ten right now and those
offices is do whatever it takes to not have to
suspend Michigan from the Big Ten championship game, and maybe
(22:31):
it'll have stay in Penn State takes that take care
of the for him, which makes tomorrow's game, it's produe fascinating,
because does Michigan come out of that tunnels like, you
know what, maybe we shouldn't win this game sixty five
to one, you know, maybe maybe we just shouldn't play
this straight or they just say, you know what, We're Michigan,
come come and get it, and they just you know,
(22:51):
roll it up. So I can't wait to see what
this game is like tomorrow for this Michigan team. You know.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The thing is, Pete, is that looking at this and
understanding that there's no responsibility that the College Football Playoff
Committee has in keeping Michigan out of the playoff if
the Big Ten rules them to be ineligible. But I
can't see the College Football Playoff me be saying yes,
we're gonna start civil war in college football. And if
the Big Ten says Michigan, you're ineligible to win, the
(23:19):
conference will take you for the playoff. They're not gonna
be that's gonna be a civil war peat. That's not
gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Well, but that's not their job.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
See the college and this and this, they're right because
the College Football Playoffs Committee hasn't out Their job is
to say, give us the whatever teams are eligible for
Bullgate like, they're not gonna they can't. They can't put
James Madison in their top twenty five because they are
not technically eligible because of what provincial provisional of the
year or whatever, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
It's stupid.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Jacksonville State, you know. So what they can say is, look,
our job is you're you're giving us the materials here.
Our job is to evaluate them. It's not their job
to rule or be the judge on what or who
or who isn't eligible for whatever. Their job is to say,
this team beat team AB, team B, and they did
(24:12):
it by this much, and we saw them play and
they were dominant and they weren't dominant, and they weren't
great at this.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
So on this they get a free path.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
It's the NCAA that's got to be the one that
says go, no go, the Big ten can rule. However
it was and the hard part about this too, And
then this is where the other schools are right last year,
after the little kerfuffle and the tunnel between Michigan and
Michigan State players immediately the Big ten rule that made
a bunch of players ineligible after that fight, they can
(24:40):
do whatever they want. They can kind of rule and
make up. But what do you do, I mean, how
if you talk about civil war, how do you say, yeah,
you know what, We're gonna punish Michigan by doing this,
because the last thing they want to do is tick
off their billion dollar benefactors we're paying for all this
or make it look like, oh look, Ohio State got
(25:02):
to win by why? I mean, this is a bad
situation for the Big ten to have to deal.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
With, all right, one of the last one for me,
number nine versus number twenty two Oklahoma five and a
half point favorites on the road at Okye State and
we're talking about two teams, I mean, part of a
log jam at four and one in conference Pete, how
do you see this? One sixty two is your your
total to try to get towards that Smithian mid seventies number.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah, I like Oklahoma State.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
They're just playing better.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I mean, look, they figured it out. They all of a.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Sudden, they stopped turning the ball over. They're running the
ball better, and they're just playing great. They're just getting
the job done. Oklahoma, they got the big win over Texas,
but they've kind of been okay against a lot of
other mediocre teams. They didn't actually play at Michigan like schedule,
but they haven't played a whole bunch of killers outside
of Texas.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
And then they go to Kansas and move that. I
think the Oklahoma State thinks.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
For real, I'm saying that they win this and I
think they survive in advance. I think Texas beats Kansas
State and all of a sudden, this big big twelve
season goes absolutely off the rails.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
All right, speaking off the rails, I know he's been fired,
but what sideline do we see Connor Stallions on this weekend?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
He's brilliant?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
You know what it's because this is not a real
world thing, because we're not talking about an actual law
being broken.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
This is phenomenal performance. Sorry, this is fantastic, you know
how do you not love this? There is a thirty
for thirty in here somewhere.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
There's gotta be some This is just fantastic stuff.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
I mean, you've got to know.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
The second he got fired, some coach out there was like,
h maybe you know we shouldn't hire this kid.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Maybe give him a different name or something.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, put him out a milkshake diet so he's unrecognizable exactly.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
We're gonna call him Bill Mustang, and we're gonna put
him on a sideline.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Give him a hat, and we're gonna we're just gonna
kind of hide him here. But obviously he's really really
good at his job.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh last one, That's what I've forgot about this one.
Pat Shermer's gonna call plays Lewis demoted in Colorado? What
the hell are we doing?
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Yeah, basically it's Deane said, you're getting my kid killed
back there. I mean, you know what Shadur standards for
all the flash and all the other stuff.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
That's tell her out.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
If I'm a pro scout, I watched.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
That game and I'm like, this guy is tough as nailed.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Because USC or UCLA wore him as a hat and
he kept getting up and he kept playing, and he
kept fighting through that beating he took because they cannot
block at all. And this week they get an Oregon
State defense whose pass rush is it UCLA is, but
it's not far off. And so all they're trying to
do is they got to come up with a different
(27:45):
blocking scheme because this one from Sean Lewis and Kent
State or from his old Kent State is not enough.

(28:40):
excitement of night one the NBA oh yeah season tournaments.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Oo, Jason Milicks lost, nothing changed the.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Hackles on my yeah, I know the Knicks loss because
Julius Randall stinks. That's why the Knicks lost. He's a
progress stopper. He is a progress stopper. He takes too
many show and being the one A on the team,
he gets the green light to do it because I'm
a really good player. And all he does is hold
the Knicks back, and they're not gonna go forward until
they figure that out. And that's either getting Joel Embiid
(29:13):
or making a trade for Karl Anthony Towns and sending
Julius Randall out. But he is just killing them with
his four for eighteen nights, and he keeps shooting the
ball and he can't get his own shot, and he
can't do any to go off at double teams. So
you tell me what's going on. He is a progress stopper,
Julius rand He's like local and federal governments. They tell
you a lot of stuff's going on, but then there's
(29:33):
no uh no results. But there is a lot of shots.
I gotta no, there is a lot of it. We
got nothing for you. There is a big takeaway, a
really big takeaway coming off this game, because this is
a game where the Bucks were in control most of
the night, Like it was a huge night for Jalen Brunson,
who is incredible for the Knicks tonight. I mean, the
(29:54):
guy goes for forty five and Julius lost stakes. The
Knicks take the lead on a Brunson three with a
minute left to go. This has been a game that
the Bucks had been leading throughout and suddenly the Knicks
take the lead. And this is where in years past
things would get a little hairy for Milwaukee. Okay, well,
Jannis is gonna take the shot. But now the whole
(30:15):
world knows Jannis is gonna take the shot. So will
they be able to double him? Will he able to
get the ball to somebody? Will Middleton take a big
shot and make it? Can he take a contested shot
in traffic and make it? Is he that kind of guy?
But what happened on the next two possessions? Next two possessions,
Jannis has the ball out behind the arc and he's
just waiting, waiting, waiting, He's dribbling, waiting for Damian Lillard
(30:35):
to come off a screen, and he waits. Lillard comes
off a screen. Lillard buries a three to give the
Bucks the lead back. Next possession, the Bucks get the ball,
they're out on the fast break. Lillard goes in for
a breakaway layup. He makes it. He goes to the
free throw line for an n one. Suddenly it's a
five point game and the Bucks win. These two possessions
by Milwaukee. I watch that and I go, are we really?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Are?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
We really? Just ignore thinking it too deeply. I think
that the Bucks aren't gonna win the title because they
have Damian Lillard. I mean, really, I could see the
regular season going this way and the playoffs going this way. Yes,
Giannis can still make big shots, but now it's gonna
be a motivated Lillard who shows up wanting to win
a title, and it's gonna be an incredible force throughout
(31:23):
the playoffs. No one could stop him when he was
with Portland. How who's gonna stop when he's playing opposite Giannis?
And we may have a very boring regular season in
playoffs because at the end, the Bucks are gonna win.
Lillard's gonna be the MVP of the finals, and we're
gonna go. Of course, the Bucks won. They got Lillard
in the offseason. What the hell are we doing talking
about anything else other than Wenby and what great a
(31:43):
player he is. Why are we doing anything else? Because
you know, we could overthink so many different things. But
in the end, watching just that that little that two
play sequence might come saying, who's gonna stop that. Who's
gonna be able to say, Okay, Dame is not gonna
be able to win games like this is why they
got him, and just in those two possessions to take
(32:04):
a game where hey, the Bucks were a little with
they're a little rickety now and we don't know, we're
a little nervous, little clenched up. No, Dame says, give
me the ball. He makes a very calm three. He
makes the layups. Since the free throw in the game
is over, we may at the end of watch him
holding up the Larry O'Brien trophy and go, of course
they were gonna win good because they got of course, Well,
why do we think that we thought too much? We
were too stupid, We thought we thought we made it
(32:25):
too complicated, We got too cute. Of course they were
gonna win, all right. So a couple of things. I
like that.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
The yannest part of it is the since day one
he's just said, oh, it's his team now.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So like whatever, I got my title, I know what
I am. I got it was good. Yeah. I don't
think it was just a talking point. I think it
was all right.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
He can he can be the guy, right you guys
want to make him there. I don't care as long
as we win, right and as evidenced by the extension,
uh and getting stuff done right. So uh, you look
at the process there, you've got two closers, and once
you start to overload the other way on Lillard, that
means Giannis is roaming free, right uh. And some of
(33:08):
these other veteran players that are still on that squad
find it interesting. And I'm gonna ask you a very
pointed question in a moment. First off, x Nick, now great,
Christaps Porzingis and the Celtics are four and oh pushed
them aside for a moment. Sixers are three and one
right now? Is it the absence of a hardener? Doc
Rivers go, oh, it's definitely, it's definitely.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Doc Rivers just because that's a better storyline because hard
you knew what was coming. We're gonna get rid of them.
It's gonna be fine. No, it's got to be Doc
Rivers because maybe because the whole time, we can just
say maybe Doc Rivers was the just like maybe Joe
Girardi was the problem with the Philly that's all. Maybe
maybe Doc Rivers was the problem because you know, Harden
was an issue and I had to get rid of it.
That's where everywhere everybody goes. Everybody gets better when you
(33:54):
get rid of James Arden out. That's how the last
three years have gone. Do you think the Sixers started
playing like finger Foot after he was dismissed, like the
Raiders roll in the locker room playing a little nerve
poop after McDaniel's got fired. They're saying, oh, wait a minute, wait,
we were actually still really good and maybe better with that.
Why are we so worried about trading the guy? Oh
(34:16):
my god, we should have traded the months ago. Why
it takes all over this to happen. It's funny how
that works, right when you piece it all together again.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We are four games into the season. But but I mean,
some delicious storylines already start to creep out. But yeah,
Milwaukee's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
You guys do know the Lakers are back.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I have heard ye before.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Whether it's just you say it enough so it's in
my ears reverberating, or you're still rolling with the Bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Well, we were talking about the Eastern Conference here.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Jason said they're winning the title.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Oh yeah, no, I'm not going there. It's hard to
not roll with the Bucks. I mean, but I'm certainly
not going Lakers. You're talking, You're talking about a combination
to these two players where Damian Lillard's game just feeds
right off of what Yiannis can do, and it being
new and the NBA needing some time to adjust to it.
Maybe in a year or two. They think, you know,
(35:12):
Lillard slows down little bit, but man, I can see
them just steam. And then in the playoffs, of course,
Lillard starts making all these clutch.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Shots until he turns into a pumpkin in the second round.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Boom, exit out about of Fresca, exit swollen down. The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Coming
up next, we got a really big baseball injury and
a reason behind a retirement that's gonna shock you. It's
coming up next right here. Jason Mike from the Fox
