The way tire buying should be Well, we have a
(00:51):
lot of football to get to. We'll get to that
in a minute, but first, very important, Mike Harmon, I
need to report a murder. A murder. I saw a
murder on my television and I feel the need to
say because I watched Syracuse just murder LSU.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Now I know LSU is missing Angel Reese, but wow,
Syracuse just murdered LSU.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, so last year was a long time ago for
that squad.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You want to talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The distance between being national heroes, the story of the
day and everything going.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It's like Colorado football.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Everybody's on board and now it's a floating dumpster fire
burning as it goes past you in slow motion.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
That's what we're looking at.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But just I mean, I mean, you know, hey, maybe
it's okay that Beheim retired. I'm just saying maybe it's
okay that baby I mean, just maybe, just maybe. I mean,
it's clear that Georgia is not gonna win the national
championship now because clearly Fran Brown, the new head coach
at Syracuse Georgia dB coach, everybody says he's the best
recruiter in the country. He's gonna bring everybody from Georgia
(01:59):
within now. So George's could be missing everybody for the
for the championship games.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Everybody, Now, you're just conflating all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Everybody to joke.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Between the women's LSU team versus the men's women's team.
Had that opening loss against Colorado. They've been rolling along,
even with the turmoil of Reese not rejoining the squad.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You don't need to explain that. Everybody got the joke.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I don't know that. They don't need to explain the joke.
You you don't need to explain. No, they got they
got the joke. They got the joke.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
They got the joke.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You got the joke, they got the joke. You know
you want to talk about explain you you want a
good story, I'll tell you a good story about this first.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
This is really yeah, let's go so because you do
not have a new football code sports, it's no.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, no, this is a good one. So back when
I was doing Fantasy Zone on UH on Direct TV,
and I would be on Sundays and I was I was,
you know, the the Scott Hansen role of of doing
it for Fantasy where I would throw all the games
everything else. It was a fun gig for a few
years and then and then it got bigger, and then
they wind up merging with the NFL Network and all
the stuff. So I do that. I would and I
(03:01):
would go on and I would find time to do
my Berman impression and I would say like something like
and DJ, here's Cameron trying to make America break again,
or something like that. I would say South to Berman,
I would do it right, just some kind of Berman joke.
And my manager just couldn't stand it. He just couldn't
stand it. And he would say, you got you gotta
stop doing Berman? You got it? Why he goes people
(03:22):
don't like it? I said, who doesn't like it?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Who doesn't like it?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You got? You gotta stop? People don't like it? I
go tell me who doesn't like it? I'm having fun doing.
Everybody knows what. It's funny. Every the control is laughing.
I'm having fun. If everybody's laugh everybody's having fun. I
don't understand. So he say you got to stop doing
I'm like, okay, whatever, So I forgot. So I go
on the air. It's a seven hour show. I'm on
the air for seven and a half hour. Loopy after
a while, yeah, so I so I wait and the one,
(03:46):
I go, all right, you know what? All right, I'm
gonna do just one. I had a really good one.
So I did one good and seven and a half hours,
seven and a half hours of going from game to game,
showing over a hundred highlights that they don't even do
that on regular Red Zone. We showed more I show
more highlights what I could do being able. Not that
I'm the greatest guy in the world, but I know
what I did. And they didn't even show as many
(04:07):
highlights as we did, right because I was able to
do it. And so seven and a half hours, I
come off the and I do one Berman I do
what in seven and a half hours? One bourbon? What
do you think is the first thing A manager says
to me, gotta stop doing that berman Man. People just
don't like it. I go, what do you mean? What
do you say? What that was?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
It was it the cameraon Brake line in that su no, no,
no no.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I was just saying that because I make American because
it was twenty sixteen, the election was going around. No, no, no,
I made something. It wasn't anything that was I'm not
doing anything that's gonna polarize people. It was just a
bourbon that was I forget what it was, but uh oh,
I know what it was. It was somebody with the
same last name as a character in Hamilton blocked a punt,
(04:45):
like someone named Lawrence or something. Somebody blocked a punt,
and I did. I did a Hamilton line, did a
Burman Hamilton line. Got people don't like it. I go,
what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I said?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Is he calling in? Is he calling into to be upset?
What do you mean? People like sot a three second
line while people are watching a highlight Suddenly that's where
I'm like, you gotta be kidding, Hey, you gotta be kings.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Oh my god, folks get excitable. Now here's the obvious question.
I'll ask this for America and for our crew assembled.
They're doing the great job as they do always, Justin
and Alex making a sound so pretty tonight. How do
you snack during that seven hours? Because we know it's it's,
you know, part of your persona in the radio world.
(05:25):
How did you do that when you were in front
of the camera and they just like stayed on you
all the time? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would I would get like like when we would
go back to New York for the analysis, like if
somebody like I do a bunch of highlights everything else, Okay,
let's go back to New York because like John Hanson,
who's a big fantasy analyst, Kay Adams, they would do
like two and a half minutes breakdown of some perform
of whatever somebody's got going on, or if there was
an injury. They would talk about it. So I would get,
(05:51):
you know, a few times an hour. I would get
like two minutes. Now in that time, I'm eeting. We're
also watching for high let's get this highlight ready to go.
Here's a third yard pass right here. So I'm kind
of eating while I'm working, which is like, oh my god,
it sounds awesome, right, because I love to work and
I love to eat. I'm like, I'm eating at the
same time. So I would get like two two and
a half minutes to eat, you know, a couple bites
of a sandwich. So yeah, I was I was always
(06:12):
able to snack. That was fine.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
No, I'm just trying to make sure that you weren't peaked,
because then you couldn't make the excuse that you know,
your blood sugar was low, and in that state, you
revert to Burmanism's oh a condition, boss.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I gotta tell you this. Do I have the best
Berman lines coming up in a few minutes from a
story today? Do I? I've been looking forward to doing
this all day today. I couldn't wait to come about
just to do this. So we have that guy.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Couldn't tell me this before I showed up, I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:40):

fd I see. So from that with the Angel rees joke,
(07:03):
which is good, people got it in the latest college
football playoff poll is out and there are a couple
of really big takeaways from this. Number one no real
surprise is the order Georgia number one, Michigan number two,
Washington number three, Florida State back in the top four
(07:23):
because we watched Ohio State lose to Michigan, and then
you have Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, and Alabama. Those are
your one loss teams. You've got four undefeated teams. You
got four to one loss teams. Now, the easy thing
is these are all winning in situations for the team's
ranked one through four. Most likely wait what, yeah, We'll
get to that, because you would think, okay, Georgia wins obviously,
(07:44):
Michigan the winner of Washington and Oregon for the top
five teams, because if Oregon beats Washington, Oregon's gonna go
over Washington. Washington will win if they wind up going undefeated.
But here's big takeaway Number one. All right, this is
directly from CFP commit Chair Boo Corrigan, which subs a
point guard like, well, really, this is the CFP chair
(08:05):
Boo Coregan. He sounds like a guy that that that
like plays at Utah and he's got like, you know,
he's got like the just like nine assists a game.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Wait, you see book Corgan plays that his nickname Boom.
They're the late They're the Lake Natos Boo Corrigan. So
Boo Corregan. Right, he's the CFP committee chair. Uh said
this on ESPN's rankings release show. Very excited about it.
He said, Rivalry weekend is coming, very exciting. Here's the
big one. Florida State sitting at number four. Now, last
(08:34):
week they played their first game without Jordan Travis. Jordan
Travis a terrific quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He's out for the season, and Tate Roademaker was okay, Uh,
and they still found a way to beat Florida twenty
four fifteen. Now, yes, Rivalry game, new quarterback, Florida State
found a way to win. You're looking at an undefeated
Florida State team and you would think, hey, okay, Florida
State wins, they win the they win the AC championship
game against Louisville, they're going to the playoff. But here
(09:00):
is your quote from Boo Corrigan. Different team without Jordan Travis.
It's more than one player, obviously, but they are a
different team obviously without Jordan Travis.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
But last week he said that didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That is a quote directly directly from the CFP committee chair.
Different team without Jordan Travis. Obviously, they're a different team
without Jordan Travis. They are dying, dying to be able
to vault Alabama or Texas above them and into the
(09:38):
top four. Think they can't do it, Think they won't
do it. Just watch if Florida State struggles and wins
another ugly game like this like they did last weeks
against Louisville this weekend, and it clearly looks like this
isn't a great team. Alabama finds a way to win,
or Texas wins huge in the Big twelve championship game,
you watch them find any way possible to move Florida
(10:03):
State out and then you're gonna see craziness ensue. And
all they're gonna say is Florida State was a really
good take. But now without a quarterback, are they one
of the top four teams in the country. We don't
think so. We think Texas is, We think Alabama is.
This is what we think now. Certain things have that. Look,
Alabama's gotta win, Texas has to win. They even try
(10:23):
to find a way to move Ohio State up, who
didn't even play. Well. We think Ohio State, who didn't play,
is better than Florida. But Florida State just played in one. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. You see this quote, and you know
the committee is dying to bump Florida State out of there.
Even with a win. They are hoping just win. A
win is sixteen thirteen thirteen twelve win like the Bears
(10:43):
beat the Vikings last night twelve to ten without a touchdown.
Have your started quarterback throw four interceptions, and we are
knocking Florida State out of number four. Because there's no
reason for that statement, it's just it should be. Hey,
we got four undefeated teams. Florida State's the best team
in the ACC. Look what they did without their starting
quarterback short week against their arrival. Look at them come
(11:04):
back and win this game. Florida State's terrific team. Why
suddenly are you sitting here saying Florida State obviously different
team without Jordan Travis. That is a fastball down the middle.
You need to see that. They are dying to move
Florida State out. Yeah, it's just funny because last week,
while while you were on holiday, holiday, holiday quote, it
(11:26):
was really about Washington and what Washington did this weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well, they didn't didn't.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Play particularly well, but they got their victory, and then
it kept going, that's what the next couple of weeks
are gonna be about. The key is not projecting what
it will be the following week after the conference championship games.
We can look at who's going to be available and
who's not going to be available. He had a one
liner in there. You know, it's not about one player,
(11:54):
just like he threw in today. But it was very
quick to point out, no, no, no, no no, it's
got nothing nothing, nothing to do.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
With that, liar.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
That's all I can say.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Liar.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And to your point, they're a two and a half
point favorite against Louisville, And it's all about projecting what
makes for a better, more competitive Final four TV show.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
We've been talking about this for years.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You know, if it's just based on what you did,
you know you're not shuffling up any of these teams, right,
they won, succeed and proceed those top teams shouldn't have
moved at all. Then if that's the case, right, I
just slide. You know, Florida State back up with Ohio
State losing, and you know you correct your previous mistake.
(12:37):
So now we have the potential for chaos, and you
know me, I love chaos in between the white lines.
But we've got some heavy spreads in some of these games.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Right.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Texas is a two touchdown favorite, Michigan's a twenty three
point favorite. We'll talk more about the PAC twelve final
title game over all the marbles one last time. We'll
celebrate it like it's a series finale of your favorite sitcom,
because that's really what it's been a joke off it
(13:05):
so especially did just that graphics problem they had the
other day.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Did you see that on.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Their farewell game where it was first name, last name,
X yards.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
About time about time to say goodbye. It's time to think.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
The graphics guy was hitting the eggnog.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
He was like, we're done anyway, What the hell's the
difference X yard touchdown run by first name, last name.
So yeah, it's potential for cast there, but yeah, boot
Corgan has said the.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Quiet part out loud. Just just wait, watch what watch
what happens now? Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen

been waiting to do all day and I'm gonna say it.
You're gonna go uh now, I get it. Uh, this
is a minor story, but we make it big because
of what we're gonna do with it.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Is it the hill Mary pick six? No?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, no, yeah, no, that was a pretty big deal.
That was earth shattering.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That was over week ago. That was over week ago,
over week No, can't do it. No, it's not a
full week. That's a full way. It's over a week ago.
It's over a week.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
It happened Friday, Today's.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It happened that It's no, no, it was that actually
happened like three weeks ago, and it's it's it's done.
It's that's done. We can't do How did you get
three weeks off? Then? God, excuse to me. It was
just a couple of day I made you look at
the pen and I hit the pen like Will Smith
and men in Black, and that's how I got the
days off. That was too long ago. People don't remember.
People don't remember that. I gotta explain to millennials who
Tim Boyle is it's too long.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
No, no, no, I think people remember this.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The chased from.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Town gets it off, calling the ebbs and then.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It's picked off. Oh that's gonna get in off. They hadn't,
and it's hollow. At the twenty thirty, he's cutting back
inside forty of my New York. It's twenty five, twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
O the right five.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
That was great. Yeah, I see, nobody knows what that is.
Nobody and people don't know what that is. Gen z
ors don't know what that is. Millennials, they just don't know,
like what that was so long ago, it was so long.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah, you know what's funny is I don't know how
many people will remember it.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It was boil versus just the Jets suck like.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I don't think it carries the same weight as Sanchez
because there was no expectations.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The expectation was that he was gonna suck. Yeah, and well,
and the whole thing is, it's not it's not a timbo.
It doesn't matter who threw the past. As long as
they were wearing a Jets. Yes, as long as you
were wearing a Jets uniform, that's all that mattered. That's
what it was. It's a big nother jets.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Did you see how happy Mike McDaniel was on that plane.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh yeah, No, he was very happy. He was very happy. Yeah,
him and him and his uh his and his capri
pants and pranced off the sideline.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, sizes too big.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, look at me with my new sneakers. I'm a
fashion plate. Look at me man.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Years ago they canceled Bozo the Clowns. Someone needed to
have those shoes, you.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Know, just because the way the pants are they make
the shoes look anytime you wear pants, Like, because I
like to wear long shorts, my wife always tells me,
don't wear it. Don't wear shorts that long. I go, watch,
because they just don't look at it. Go, what do
you mean, just just wear regular length? I go, but
they're kind of cool with it. She goes, don't because
then look, because your shoes then look gigantic. And I
never realized that. I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. When
you wear shorts that kind of you you you know,
(19:21):
because he's wearing those pants that go down like to
the middle of his calf. It's like if those shoes
just looks so huge, they're like tires on cars. They're
going like I didn't. I didn't know that. I'm like, okay,
thank you for telling me this.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Now I can't wear the long And then you laughed
and you said, I'm trying to impress people as I
walk by. Don't you think you get some admiring looks
along the way? Pam for being with me and my
giant feet?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Who's that dude with the who's that dude wearing the shoes?
And are eight sizes too big? What a what a
lunatic that guy is?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, but you can't tell as you walk down the
street unless they're lifting your foots lifting out of them
with each step. And let's face it, you're not getting
a lot of lift off the ground with your shoes.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, they do say that about the camera. The camera
adds two or three shoe sizes to your foot, you know,
I mean it looks a lot bigger, and when you're
watching on TV than in public.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
There you have it. I don't know how much longer
we can run that bit.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It gets too blue. That was a Simpsons crust of
the clown. Big shoes to fill, big shoes to fill,
big shoes to fill. So you maybe saw this story today.
Dante Corleone who is a defensive tackle for Cincinnati, is
going back to school for his senior year. His nickname is,

Speaker 4 (24:09):

what happened when Fish made its way to air.

Discover Bank member FDIC. So we've talked about the latest
college football playoff poll with all five teams being in
a win and in scenario of the top five teams,
right Georgia, Michigan, Washington, Florida State, and Oregon, that's your
top five. Whoever wins is in clearly because Washington's gonna
(25:25):
play Oregon in the PAC twelve Championship game this weekend
and Washington's undefeated, Oregon's got the loss, Washington's favored. I
don't know why, because I'll tell you right now, Oregon
is going to smoke Washington. They are going to crush them.
Washington has hit the wall. They look like they're on vapors.
(25:45):
Their offense is not what it was earlier this season.
They look like a team that peaked the midway point
of the season. Michael Pennix Junior isn't the same quarterback.
They are struggling with lesser teams. You can tell me, oh,
it's a rivalry game. Still, you got to win this game.
You're that talented, you win bigger. And it's just watching
them over the last few weeks just lose a little
bit of an edge, a little bit less impressive, and
(26:06):
I'm watching them sort of hit the wall, whereas Oregon
is going completely in the other direction. They are still
blowing out teams. Bon Nicks is jumping to the top
of the favorite of the Heisman pile. He could win
it this weekend because it's you know, it's the biggest
winning in game in college football. Oregon has been foaming
at the mouth for this rematch. And if you're Washington,
you're saying, we gotta play him again. We beat him once,
(26:28):
beat him by a field goal. It came down to
the end. We gotta play him again. Oregon wants to
play this game again. Washington does not. We already won this.
Nothing we can do but lose. We have to beat
him again. They almost did it the first time was
on our time. They do not want this game again.
Oregon can't do anything but want it. Oregon's gonna win
this game in a large way, and bow Knicks is
gonna wind up winning the Heisman Trophy because of it.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, the betting public is certainly on the right side
of this. I mean it is a nine and a
half or ten point spread. Ducks favored in this one.
That's a long time ago, that goes back to mid October,
right ahead of me flipping into a new decade of
life thirty six thirty three thew and we've watched it
(27:11):
ever since. Right, an eight point win over Arizona State,
a nine point win against a terrible Stanford team, ten
point win against it, then imploding USC squad. Now it
was fifty two forty two. If you were doing some
in game betting, you had a hell of a time
anytime touchdown.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'll put nine players in a parlay.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Let's go. They win against.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Much different than the any time touchdown from last night's
game with the Bears and the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
No, that's right.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
He eventually it cashed, but you know Utah seven point win.
By that point, Utah was not the same squad, right,
I think they were on quarterback four at that point.
Oregon State, who everybody still seems to love. They got
a new coach today, two point win there, and then
a three point win against Washington State. You know, the
succeed and proceed thing is certainly there, but you been
(28:00):
even gassed and you've been eking out Victory's panics. Junior
has not been playing as well. Decision making has been
a bit spotty, and the explosiveness from the offense not
quite there. When you look at and contrast to what
Oregon's been doing of late, and the numbers that they're
putting up, same game, same team. You know, when you
(28:21):
add Arizona State forty nine thirteen Oregon State, of course.
You know with Oregon State, you want to talk about
the trashiest of trashy. All week, we had the rumors
of yeah, Smith's gonna leave Friday right before kickoff. I'll
see all the hell I'm out of here at thirty
one seven your final you know, all all of that,
just pounding teams all throughout the rest of their slate.
(28:45):
After that narrow defeat and kicking it into high gear,
I would expect no less this week.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
And that they win convincingly. So I'll laid the ten.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Oh yeah, easy, I mean I did. I'd even look
at that. You look at the point ago, Yeah, why
doesn't even matter, doesn't even This game could be fourteen
to nothing early and you think watch it and then
by the time you get to early part in the
third quarters, it's twenty eight. It's twenty eight ten. What
the hell man, you Oregon Oregon. The two teams going
in different directions, And that's exactly what it is. One
team going on it's the it's the Uh, it's a
(29:17):
Joe Petcy good fellow. While this talk's going this way,
this dog's going this way, this dog's going any what
do you want for me? The washing's going this way,
ducks are going this way. Man, give me the ducks
and the bluff and really and bo Nicks will win
the Heisman Trophy. They're looking to give it to somebody.
And Jayden Daniels clearly has gotten a lot of momentum,
and rightfully so because he's been unbelievable. But you talk
about playing big games, Jayden Daniels hasn't played in a
(29:39):
lot of big games. Bo Nix has played in a
bunch of them. He's gonna play in another one tomorrow.
He's gonna wind up winning the Heisman Trophy tomorrow. Bonix solid,
they don't play tomorrow. Yeah, you're you're getting ahead of yourself.
But uh, you know, I'm ready to exit it for
the game. I'm mixed five and a half.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
You're over under the highest of the totals for these
this weekend's big games.

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show and My best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Now you're in it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You got to play. It's holiday songs all the way
through the holiday. Ye you've opened the door to holiday songs.
You have to play holidays, Jason, No, you can't, you
can't play. You can't play holliday songs and go wait
for it.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
I just show up, take the money, and bounce once.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
The Holly station comes on, right, you know, on on
Thanksgiving Day they do, okay, we heard songs and then go.
They don't go back to Hey, the Billy Joel channel
or you know it's the Ramones channel. No, they give
you Holly songs all the way. You gotta stick through it.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Now, Yeah, I don't think so, Jason.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Now you open the door. If that's how that's how
it works, Harmon? Am I wrong? Yes?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
You know what I think Alex is a man, a
measured man who will surprise us and give us twists
and turns.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Cuz I mean look, no, no, no, dude, just give
me an it. Don't give me a Matt eber Flues
or don't give me a Kevin O'Connell. Oh I may,
I may stick with Josh Josh Dobbs done a lot.
Now give me the are you on ty shirt side
of my side? Don't give me that Kevin o'conddle. We're
gonna look at and look at the tape. Done. Just
give me an answer. Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Well?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I think we can have a very liberal definition of
the word holiday. Holiday holiday, because anything that's putting me
in a good mood is a holiday song. So if
he were to say, play a little bit of tears
for fears, I wouldn't complain.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Kevin O'Connell, that's you. You're KOC
now that.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I almost benched him in the second half.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You're KOC. You're KOC now. So we got more football
coming up in a few minutes, because it looks a
lot of big takeaway from the playoff pool today in
college football. We got big stuff from the NBA. But uh,
we are now getting to the point where things are
getting serious for some big deals in Major League Baseball today.
According to John Haymon and some other MLB insiders, the
(32:47):
Yankees are in on three of the biggest free agents
you can get or trade pieces you can get this offseason,
and he expects the Yankees to get at least two
of them. That's Yoshinoba Yamamoto who is coming over from Japan,
Juan Soto and Cody Bellinger. Right, these are some big
guys that are gonna be worth a lot of money
(33:08):
and get paid a lot of money at some point soon.
So my first thing I want to say, is that, Well,
maybe I was right in the very beginning, and the
Yankees are the real Yankees are back, and we had
Brian Cashman is a wizard.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
That's we had.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We had to go through Brian Cashman giving us some
stupid crap like trying to paint a two game over
five hundred record, like we've succeeded, We've won. Big dude,
you finished four games out of last place, and he's
trying to tell us, like, hey, we had a great season.
What are you talking about. Maybe the Yankees are back.
Maybe he was just like trying to snake us the
entire time, And now the Yankees are gonna go crazy
(33:42):
and they're gonna go buy a couple of guys and
spend five hundred plus million dollars. Maybe the Yankees are
gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I do appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
The uh, the curiosity was about forty eight hours ago
was yeah, he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Be a padre. He ain't going anywhere when it comes
to Zuo right now.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
So it was completely gone, right, completely gone.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Yeah, suddenly you got Rosenthal, you got him, and everybody
goes yeah, it's just a matter of what the destination
is like Okay, that escalated quickly.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, you had to think something was gonna hap. You know, look,
they lost their owner and Inger Sidler died. It was
such a sad story because the guy was so you know,
and look, maybe he decided he wanted to go all
in because he knew whatever time he had left, he
wanted to try to win in the next couple of years.
So we spent a lot of money on these on
these guys, and it worked out great. Now, okay, hey,
(34:30):
the Padres, we'll figure it out from here, and we'll
certainly can move on from guys if there's players that
people are gonna want in trade. And Soto's that kind
of guy, right.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
They know they took that loan because of all of
their expenditures as well. So there was a whole hey,
you're gonna get your TV Rev. Sharre and we talked
about it, and you know, the jokes were there, plentiful
until you know, he he passed away. Then all of
a sudden you pull back and it's like, all right,
to your point that you know, maybe it was a
(34:59):
all right, I want to see this team perform as
well as I can while I can, uh kind of
situation and Soto becomes an easy asset to divest yourself
of great demand, great performance and in future, and so
maybe you can go pluck away a bevy of underpriced
prospects in return.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
See now. And here's the thing. Here's where, Isaac, where
you think I'm gonna zag. I'm not that excited about
the prospect of what it's gonna cost to get one Soto.
And I don't mean just what you're gonna have to
trade for him, what it means overall. Right, because we
saw reports today, you know from Rosenthal Hayman that maybe
a couple of top hundred prospects overall from it. You know,
(35:42):
from a team, you got two guys in the top
hundred you can trade, that would be enough. Because Soto
is gonna be a free agent. Teams aren't gonna do
that to get one Soto for one year unless they
want to sign them. So you're gonna give up a
couple of big time prospect a couple of top hundred guys, right,
that would be at the top of anybody for one year,
not knowing if you're gonna get Wan Soda because the
(36:04):
pressure to resign him is going to be immense and
is soda worth it as good a player as he is.
I mean, yes, the guy is young and and he hits,
and he is shown everywhere that he has been terrific.
But the guy's already turned down a four hundred million
dollar contract a couple of times. You know what's gonna
cost it? Forget, it's gonna be Otani money to get
(36:24):
Juan Soto, and it pitisy and as good as he
as good as he is, you know, Sodo is a
thirty three and one hundred and a two to eighty guy.
That's who Jan Soto is, right about thirty. That's who
he's average for his career. He's thirty three hundred to
which is great, right that that's great? But to trade
the prospects and give him five hundred million for there
(36:45):
are twenty five guys in Major League Baseball last year
who are able to do that. You're able to go
thirty one hundred around two ways. There are twenty five
guys I got, I got them all in front of me.
There are twenty five guys. None of them are making
five hundred million dollars a year. That's just from last year.
I think the account guys like Aaron judge who missed
part of the year and are thirty to one hundred guys.
There's so many guys that can do what he does.
(37:07):
He's great, he's terrific. I'm not saying he's not, but
he's not Miguel Cabrera where he's hitting forty five or
fifty on runs, knocking in one hundred and thirty runs
and hitting three thirty Like, that's not who won. Soto
is one. Soto is a really good player, and he's
been consistent right when he came up, and he's great,
But is he worth all of that? That's why I'm
not excited about getting him. Yeah, it's a great story.
I'm excited to talk about it. But to get one Soto, yeah,
(37:30):
I think the idea one Soto is better than actually
what you have to give up to get him, what's
going to cost to keep him?
Speaker 5 (37:34):
No.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
I enjoy the way you analyze that, DJ. I love
the way you analyze going back to it old Ken
Harrelson Darren Jackson kind of exchanged with the White Sox
in the booth many years ago. But the it takes one, right,
That's all it takes is one team that doesn't have
a guy that puts up those numbers. That's all it's
gonna take to push Bellinger. Is interesting also because you know,
(37:58):
potentially staying in Chicago, but suitors that the Giants obviously
the Yankees and going on Yamamoto.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
The big wild card and all this.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
But yeah, so SODA's gonna get his money. You may
not like it, it may make you feel queasy, but
as long as it's not the Mets, you'll be okay
with it.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Watch and watch. I just put it out there for
the Mets to do it. They're gonna trade Alonzo and Lindorna. Oh,
we're gonna go get on. So coming up, coming up next,
more NFL controversy and a great story out of the
NBA Fox

The way tire buying should be Well, we have a
(00:51):
lot of football to get to. We'll get to that
in a minute, but first, very important, Mike Harmon, I
need to report a murder. A murder. I saw a
murder on my television and I feel the need to
say because I watched Syracuse just murder LSU.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Now I know LSU is missing Angel Reese, but wow,
Syracuse just murdered LSU.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, so last year was a long time ago for
that squad.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You want to talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The distance between being national heroes, the story of the
day and everything going.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It's like Colorado football.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Everybody's on board and now it's a floating dumpster fire
burning as it goes past you in slow motion.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
That's what we're looking at.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But just I mean, I mean, you know, hey, maybe
it's okay that Beheim retired. I'm just saying maybe it's
okay that baby I mean, just maybe, just maybe. I mean,
it's clear that Georgia is not gonna win the national
championship now because clearly Fran Brown, the new head coach
at Syracuse Georgia dB coach, everybody says he's the best
recruiter in the country. He's gonna bring everybody from Georgia
(01:59):
within now. So George's could be missing everybody for the
for the championship games.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Everybody, Now, you're just conflating all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Everybody to joke.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Between the women's LSU team versus the men's women's team.
Had that opening loss against Colorado. They've been rolling along,
even with the turmoil of Reese not rejoining the squad.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You don't need to explain that. Everybody got the joke.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I don't know that. They don't need to explain the joke.
You you don't need to explain. No, they got they
got the joke. They got the joke.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
They got the joke.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You got the joke, they got the joke. You know
you want to talk about explain you you want a
good story, I'll tell you a good story about this first.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
This is really yeah, let's go so because you do
not have a new football code sports, it's no.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, no, this is a good one. So back when
I was doing Fantasy Zone on UH on Direct TV,
and I would be on Sundays and I was I was,
you know, the the Scott Hansen role of of doing
it for Fantasy where I would throw all the games
everything else. It was a fun gig for a few
years and then and then it got bigger, and then
they wind up merging with the NFL Network and all
the stuff. So I do that. I would and I
(03:01):
would go on and I would find time to do
my Berman impression and I would say like something like
and DJ, here's Cameron trying to make America break again,
or something like that. I would say South to Berman,
I would do it right, just some kind of Berman joke.
And my manager just couldn't stand it. He just couldn't
stand it. And he would say, you got you gotta
stop doing Berman? You got it? Why he goes people
(03:22):
don't like it? I said, who doesn't like it?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Who doesn't like it?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You got? You gotta stop? People don't like it? I
go tell me who doesn't like it? I'm having fun doing.
Everybody knows what. It's funny. Every the control is laughing.
I'm having fun. If everybody's laugh everybody's having fun. I
don't understand. So he say you got to stop doing
I'm like, okay, whatever, So I forgot. So I go
on the air. It's a seven hour show. I'm on
the air for seven and a half hour. Loopy after
a while, yeah, so I so I wait and the one,
(03:46):
I go, all right, you know what? All right, I'm
gonna do just one. I had a really good one.
So I did one good and seven and a half hours,
seven and a half hours of going from game to game,
showing over a hundred highlights that they don't even do
that on regular Red Zone. We showed more I show
more highlights what I could do being able. Not that
I'm the greatest guy in the world, but I know
what I did. And they didn't even show as many
(04:07):
highlights as we did, right because I was able to
do it. And so seven and a half hours, I
come off the and I do one Berman I do
what in seven and a half hours? One bourbon? What
do you think is the first thing A manager says
to me, gotta stop doing that berman Man. People just
don't like it. I go, what do you mean? What
do you say? What that was?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
It was it the cameraon Brake line in that su no, no,
no no.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I was just saying that because I make American because
it was twenty sixteen, the election was going around. No, no, no,
I made something. It wasn't anything that was I'm not
doing anything that's gonna polarize people. It was just a
bourbon that was I forget what it was, but uh oh,
I know what it was. It was somebody with the
same last name as a character in Hamilton blocked a punt,
(04:45):
like someone named Lawrence or something. Somebody blocked a punt,
and I did. I did a Hamilton line, did a
Burman Hamilton line. Got people don't like it. I go,
what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I said?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Is he calling in? Is he calling into to be upset?
What do you mean? People like sot a three second
line while people are watching a highlight Suddenly that's where
I'm like, you gotta be kidding, Hey, you gotta be kings.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Oh my god, folks get excitable. Now here's the obvious question.
I'll ask this for America and for our crew assembled.
They're doing the great job as they do always, Justin
and Alex making a sound so pretty tonight. How do
you snack during that seven hours? Because we know it's it's,
you know, part of your persona in the radio world.
(05:25):
How did you do that when you were in front
of the camera and they just like stayed on you
all the time? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would I would get like like when we would
go back to New York for the analysis, like if
somebody like I do a bunch of highlights everything else, Okay,
let's go back to New York because like John Hanson,
who's a big fantasy analyst, Kay Adams, they would do
like two and a half minutes breakdown of some perform
of whatever somebody's got going on, or if there was
an injury. They would talk about it. So I would get,
(05:51):
you know, a few times an hour. I would get
like two minutes. Now in that time, I'm eeting. We're
also watching for high let's get this highlight ready to go.
Here's a third yard pass right here. So I'm kind
of eating while I'm working, which is like, oh my god,
it sounds awesome, right, because I love to work and
I love to eat. I'm like, I'm eating at the
same time. So I would get like two two and
a half minutes to eat, you know, a couple bites
of a sandwich. So yeah, I was I was always
(06:12):
able to snack. That was fine.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
No, I'm just trying to make sure that you weren't peaked,
because then you couldn't make the excuse that you know,
your blood sugar was low, and in that state, you
revert to Burmanism's oh a condition, boss.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I gotta tell you this. Do I have the best
Berman lines coming up in a few minutes from a
story today? Do I? I've been looking forward to doing
this all day today. I couldn't wait to come about
just to do this. So we have that guy.
Speaker 5 (06:37):

fd I see. So from that with the Angel rees joke,
(07:03):
which is good, people got it in the latest college
football playoff poll is out and there are a couple
of really big takeaways from this. Number one no real
surprise is the order Georgia number one, Michigan number two,
Washington number three, Florida State back in the top four
(07:23):
because we watched Ohio State lose to Michigan, and then
you have Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, and Alabama. Those are
your one loss teams. You've got four undefeated teams. You
got four to one loss teams. Now, the easy thing
is these are all winning in situations for the team's
ranked one through four. Most likely wait what, yeah, We'll
get to that, because you would think, okay, Georgia wins obviously,
(07:44):
Michigan the winner of Washington and Oregon for the top
five teams, because if Oregon beats Washington, Oregon's gonna go
over Washington. Washington will win if they wind up going undefeated.
But here's big takeaway Number one. All right, this is
directly from CFP commit Chair Boo Corrigan, which subs a
point guard like, well, really, this is the CFP chair
(08:05):
Boo Coregan. He sounds like a guy that that that
like plays at Utah and he's got like, you know,
he's got like the just like nine assists a game.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Wait, you see book Corgan plays that his nickname Boom.
They're the late They're the Lake Natos Boo Corrigan. So
Boo Corregan. Right, he's the CFP committee chair. Uh said
this on ESPN's rankings release show. Very excited about it.
He said, Rivalry weekend is coming, very exciting. Here's the
big one. Florida State sitting at number four. Now, last
(08:34):
week they played their first game without Jordan Travis. Jordan
Travis a terrific quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He's out for the season, and Tate Roademaker was okay, Uh,
and they still found a way to beat Florida twenty
four fifteen. Now, yes, Rivalry game, new quarterback, Florida State
found a way to win. You're looking at an undefeated
Florida State team and you would think, hey, okay, Florida
State wins, they win the they win the AC championship
game against Louisville, they're going to the playoff. But here
(09:00):
is your quote from Boo Corrigan. Different team without Jordan Travis.
It's more than one player, obviously, but they are a
different team obviously without Jordan Travis.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
But last week he said that didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That is a quote directly directly from the CFP committee chair.
Different team without Jordan Travis. Obviously, they're a different team
without Jordan Travis. They are dying, dying to be able
to vault Alabama or Texas above them and into the
(09:38):
top four. Think they can't do it, Think they won't
do it. Just watch if Florida State struggles and wins
another ugly game like this like they did last weeks
against Louisville this weekend, and it clearly looks like this
isn't a great team. Alabama finds a way to win,
or Texas wins huge in the Big twelve championship game,
you watch them find any way possible to move Florida
(10:03):
State out and then you're gonna see craziness ensue. And
all they're gonna say is Florida State was a really
good take. But now without a quarterback, are they one
of the top four teams in the country. We don't
think so. We think Texas is, We think Alabama is.
This is what we think now. Certain things have that. Look,
Alabama's gotta win, Texas has to win. They even try
(10:23):
to find a way to move Ohio State up, who
didn't even play. Well. We think Ohio State, who didn't play,
is better than Florida. But Florida State just played in one. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. You see this quote, and you know
the committee is dying to bump Florida State out of there.
Even with a win. They are hoping just win. A
win is sixteen thirteen thirteen twelve win like the Bears
(10:43):
beat the Vikings last night twelve to ten without a touchdown.
Have your started quarterback throw four interceptions, and we are
knocking Florida State out of number four. Because there's no
reason for that statement, it's just it should be. Hey,
we got four undefeated teams. Florida State's the best team
in the ACC. Look what they did without their starting
quarterback short week against their arrival. Look at them come
(11:04):
back and win this game. Florida State's terrific team. Why
suddenly are you sitting here saying Florida State obviously different
team without Jordan Travis. That is a fastball down the middle.
You need to see that. They are dying to move
Florida State out. Yeah, it's just funny because last week,
while while you were on holiday, holiday, holiday quote, it
(11:26):
was really about Washington and what Washington did this weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well, they didn't didn't.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Play particularly well, but they got their victory, and then
it kept going, that's what the next couple of weeks
are gonna be about. The key is not projecting what
it will be the following week after the conference championship games.
We can look at who's going to be available and
who's not going to be available. He had a one
liner in there. You know, it's not about one player,
(11:54):
just like he threw in today. But it was very
quick to point out, no, no, no, no no, it's
got nothing nothing, nothing to do.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
With that, liar.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
That's all I can say.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Liar.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And to your point, they're a two and a half
point favorite against Louisville, And it's all about projecting what
makes for a better, more competitive Final four TV show.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
We've been talking about this for years.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You know, if it's just based on what you did,
you know you're not shuffling up any of these teams, right,
they won, succeed and proceed those top teams shouldn't have
moved at all. Then if that's the case, right, I
just slide. You know, Florida State back up with Ohio
State losing, and you know you correct your previous mistake.
(12:37):
So now we have the potential for chaos, and you
know me, I love chaos in between the white lines.
But we've got some heavy spreads in some of these games.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Right.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Texas is a two touchdown favorite, Michigan's a twenty three
point favorite. We'll talk more about the PAC twelve final
title game over all the marbles one last time. We'll
celebrate it like it's a series finale of your favorite sitcom,
because that's really what it's been a joke off it
(13:05):
so especially did just that graphics problem they had the
other day.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Did you see that on.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Their farewell game where it was first name, last name,
X yards.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
About time about time to say goodbye. It's time to think.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
The graphics guy was hitting the eggnog.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
He was like, we're done anyway, What the hell's the
difference X yard touchdown run by first name, last name.
So yeah, it's potential for cast there, but yeah, boot
Corgan has said the.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Quiet part out loud. Just just wait, watch what watch
what happens now? Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen

(16:43):
and I already set to pick one of the biggest
games of the weekend and there's a lot of controversy
surrounding the game as well. But first, this story I've
been waiting to do all day and I'm gonna say it.
You're gonna go uh now, I get it. Uh, this
is a minor story, but we make it big because
of what we're gonna do with it.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Is it the hill Mary pick six? No?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, no, yeah, no, that was a pretty big deal.
That was earth shattering.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That was over week ago. That was over week ago,
over week No, can't do it. No, it's not a
full week. That's a full way. It's over a week ago.
It's over a week.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
It happened Friday, Today's.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It happened that It's no, no, it was that actually
happened like three weeks ago, and it's it's it's done.
It's that's done. We can't do How did you get
three weeks off? Then? God, excuse to me. It was
just a couple of day I made you look at
the pen and I hit the pen like Will Smith
and men in Black, and that's how I got the
days off. That was too long ago. People don't remember.
People don't remember that. I gotta explain to millennials who
Tim Boyle is it's too long.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
No, no, no, I think people remember this.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The chased from.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Town gets it off, calling the ebbs and then.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It's picked off. Oh that's gonna get in off. They hadn't,
and it's hollow. At the twenty thirty, he's cutting back
inside forty of my New York. It's twenty five, twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
O the right five.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
That was great. Yeah, I see, nobody knows what that is.
Nobody and people don't know what that is. Gen z
ors don't know what that is. Millennials, they just don't know,
like what that was so long ago, it was so long.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah, you know what's funny is I don't know how
many people will remember it.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It was boil versus just the Jets suck like.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I don't think it carries the same weight as Sanchez
because there was no expectations.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The expectation was that he was gonna suck. Yeah, and well,
and the whole thing is, it's not it's not a timbo.
It doesn't matter who threw the past. As long as
they were wearing a Jets. Yes, as long as you
were wearing a Jets uniform, that's all that mattered. That's
what it was. It's a big nother jets.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Did you see how happy Mike McDaniel was on that plane.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh yeah, No, he was very happy. He was very happy. Yeah,
him and him and his uh his and his capri
pants and pranced off the sideline.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, sizes too big.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, look at me with my new sneakers. I'm a
fashion plate. Look at me man.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Years ago they canceled Bozo the Clowns. Someone needed to
have those shoes, you.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Know, just because the way the pants are they make
the shoes look anytime you wear pants, Like, because I
like to wear long shorts, my wife always tells me,
don't wear it. Don't wear shorts that long. I go, watch,
because they just don't look at it. Go, what do
you mean, just just wear regular length? I go, but
they're kind of cool with it. She goes, don't because
then look, because your shoes then look gigantic. And I
never realized that. I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. When
you wear shorts that kind of you you you know,
(19:21):
because he's wearing those pants that go down like to
the middle of his calf. It's like if those shoes
just looks so huge, they're like tires on cars. They're
going like I didn't. I didn't know that. I'm like, okay,
thank you for telling me this.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Now I can't wear the long And then you laughed
and you said, I'm trying to impress people as I
walk by. Don't you think you get some admiring looks
along the way? Pam for being with me and my
giant feet?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Who's that dude with the who's that dude wearing the shoes?
And are eight sizes too big? What a what a
lunatic that guy is?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, but you can't tell as you walk down the
street unless they're lifting your foots lifting out of them
with each step. And let's face it, you're not getting
a lot of lift off the ground with your shoes.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, they do say that about the camera. The camera
adds two or three shoe sizes to your foot, you know,
I mean it looks a lot bigger, and when you're
watching on TV than in public.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
There you have it. I don't know how much longer
we can run that bit.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It gets too blue. That was a Simpsons crust of
the clown. Big shoes to fill, big shoes to fill,
big shoes to fill. So you maybe saw this story today.
Dante Corleone who is a defensive tackle for Cincinnati, is
going back to school for his senior year. His nickname is,
of course the Godfather because his last name is Corleone,
(20:38):
and he's a really good player, right they you know,
had NFL potential, was gonna go to the NFL this year,
wants to go back for one more year, so he
is returning to Cincinnati. So of course you realize, well,
how would Berman announce this story? It's like, I gotta
do it. How would Berman announce this story? You ready? Okay,
all right, now, I do want to say this because
I'm gonna help you guys out. I did not go
(20:59):
far any of the easy lines in this like, I
didn't go for any of the easy leave the gun,
take the canoli's. Now, I didn't do it. You know,
I'll let you ask me about my business. Just this
one time came. No, I didn't go for the easy ones.
I went a little bit deeper to give you these.
So just so you know, I didn't want to go. Yeah,
I didn't want to go. I didn't want to go
with any I didn't want to go with any easy Okay,
(21:20):
he's gonna do this one. He no, no, no, I
I dug a little bit deep on this because I
know I have to do it. Okay, you're ready, let's go.
All right, here we go. How Bourbon would announce Dante
Corleone going back to Cincinnati for a senior year and
TJ when he was thinking about driving to the NFL
Dante Corleone was stopped like Sonny at the toll booth? No, wow,
(21:46):
did I spoil that? Spoil it?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
You spoiled?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Godfather?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Man?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
But the scene looks so innocuous?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
No, no, no, no, no it was. It wasn't n't
have exact change.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
DJ Cincinnati, coming off of three and eight season, can
only hope Part four with Corleone is better than Part
three with Sophia Coppola, DJ, You're an idiot and DJ
Cincinnati fans are dancing with oranges in their mouths in
(22:23):
celebration of Corleone coming back. DJ.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Wow, so you're saying they can collapse further than a
three and.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Eight Mike, don't even this is gonna be your favorite Listen, Sonny,
clearly Corleone is not a freido to play one more
year of college football.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
All right, you're fired.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's the Mike Harmon Show, Fox Sports Radio. I got
ty shirt, I got Frosburg with me Smith has.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Been excised and banished.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
DJ. Dante Corleone is a shoeing NFL money in the
hopes of getting some Mo Green in n I L
Cash TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Don't you know who I am?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Green? Last massage he ever got Mo Green? TJ? In
coming back Cincinnati, hoping Corleone will blow up in his
senior season like Appollonia, DJ, that's it. Remember they did mind?
They all right? So here so all one more? One more?
Here we go, one more. This one gets a little
(23:29):
bit deeper because you gotta think about the movie, TJ.
What do you mean all these other ones have been great?
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I got in the word of Fredo. I mean, come on, uh, TJ.
Dante Corleone hoping to not go quietly and meekly off
screen into his senior season like sal Tesio, TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
You got an ape for goding, just walks off.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
We can We're not to kill Ada on camera, which
is gonna take him off screen? He knows it was
just business. Was just business, just business. So there you go,
I mean, really there you go. I mean I went
a little bit deeper on those.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, well they always set it up that they could
have had a spin off with it. Yeah, maybe that's
what happened when Fish made its way to air.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
If you were sitting in front of me, I would
have thrown a tomato in your face.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I got a girl in the castling, one in the pagoda.

Discover Bank member FDIC. So we've talked about the latest
college football playoff poll with all five teams being in
a win and in scenario of the top five teams,
right Georgia, Michigan, Washington, Florida State, and Oregon, that's your
top five. Whoever wins is in clearly because Washington's gonna
(25:25):
play Oregon in the PAC twelve Championship game this weekend
and Washington's undefeated, Oregon's got the loss, Washington's favored. I
don't know why, because I'll tell you right now, Oregon
is going to smoke Washington. They are going to crush them.
Washington has hit the wall. They look like they're on vapors.
(25:45):
Their offense is not what it was earlier this season.
They look like a team that peaked the midway point
of the season. Michael Pennix Junior isn't the same quarterback.
They are struggling with lesser teams. You can tell me, oh,
it's a rivalry game. Still, you got to win this game.
You're that talented, you win bigger. And it's just watching
them over the last few weeks just lose a little
bit of an edge, a little bit less impressive, and
(26:06):
I'm watching them sort of hit the wall, whereas Oregon
is going completely in the other direction. They are still
blowing out teams. Bon Nicks is jumping to the top
of the favorite of the Heisman pile. He could win
it this weekend because it's you know, it's the biggest
winning in game in college football. Oregon has been foaming
at the mouth for this rematch. And if you're Washington,
you're saying, we gotta play him again. We beat him once,
(26:28):
beat him by a field goal. It came down to
the end. We gotta play him again. Oregon wants to
play this game again. Washington does not. We already won this.
Nothing we can do but lose. We have to beat
him again. They almost did it the first time was
on our time. They do not want this game again.
Oregon can't do anything but want it. Oregon's gonna win
this game in a large way, and bow Knicks is
gonna wind up winning the Heisman Trophy because of it.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, the betting public is certainly on the right side
of this. I mean it is a nine and a
half or ten point spread. Ducks favored in this one.
That's a long time ago, that goes back to mid October,
right ahead of me flipping into a new decade of
life thirty six thirty three thew and we've watched it
(27:11):
ever since. Right, an eight point win over Arizona State,
a nine point win against a terrible Stanford team, ten
point win against it, then imploding USC squad. Now it
was fifty two forty two. If you were doing some
in game betting, you had a hell of a time
anytime touchdown.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'll put nine players in a parlay.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Let's go. They win against.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Much different than the any time touchdown from last night's
game with the Bears and the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
No, that's right.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
He eventually it cashed, but you know Utah seven point win.
By that point, Utah was not the same squad, right,
I think they were on quarterback four at that point.
Oregon State, who everybody still seems to love. They got
a new coach today, two point win there, and then
a three point win against Washington State. You know, the
succeed and proceed thing is certainly there, but you been
(28:00):
even gassed and you've been eking out Victory's panics. Junior
has not been playing as well. Decision making has been
a bit spotty, and the explosiveness from the offense not
quite there. When you look at and contrast to what
Oregon's been doing of late, and the numbers that they're
putting up, same game, same team. You know, when you
(28:21):
add Arizona State forty nine thirteen Oregon State, of course.
You know with Oregon State, you want to talk about
the trashiest of trashy. All week, we had the rumors
of yeah, Smith's gonna leave Friday right before kickoff. I'll
see all the hell I'm out of here at thirty
one seven your final you know, all all of that,
just pounding teams all throughout the rest of their slate.
(28:45):
After that narrow defeat and kicking it into high gear,
I would expect no less this week.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
And that they win convincingly. So I'll laid the ten.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Oh yeah, easy, I mean I did. I'd even look
at that. You look at the point ago, Yeah, why
doesn't even matter, doesn't even This game could be fourteen
to nothing early and you think watch it and then
by the time you get to early part in the
third quarters, it's twenty eight. It's twenty eight ten. What
the hell man, you Oregon Oregon. The two teams going
in different directions, And that's exactly what it is. One
team going on it's the it's the Uh, it's a
(29:17):
Joe Petcy good fellow. While this talk's going this way,
this dog's going this way, this dog's going any what
do you want for me? The washing's going this way,
ducks are going this way. Man, give me the ducks
and the bluff and really and bo Nicks will win
the Heisman Trophy. They're looking to give it to somebody.
And Jayden Daniels clearly has gotten a lot of momentum,
and rightfully so because he's been unbelievable. But you talk
about playing big games, Jayden Daniels hasn't played in a
(29:39):
lot of big games. Bo Nix has played in a
bunch of them. He's gonna play in another one tomorrow.
He's gonna wind up winning the Heisman Trophy tomorrow. Bonix solid,
they don't play tomorrow. Yeah, you're you're getting ahead of yourself.
But uh, you know, I'm ready to exit it for
the game. I'm mixed five and a half.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
You're over under the highest of the totals for these
this weekend's big games.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
You got to play. It's holiday songs all the way
through the holiday. Ye you've opened the door to holiday songs.
You have to play holidays, Jason, No, you can't, you
can't play. You can't play holliday songs and go wait
for it.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
I just show up, take the money, and bounce once.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
The Holly station comes on, right, you know, on on
Thanksgiving Day they do, okay, we heard songs and then go.
They don't go back to Hey, the Billy Joel channel
or you know it's the Ramones channel. No, they give
you Holly songs all the way. You gotta stick through it.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Now, Yeah, I don't think so, Jason.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Now you open the door. If that's how that's how
it works, Harmon? Am I wrong? Yes?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
You know what I think Alex is a man, a
measured man who will surprise us and give us twists
and turns.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Cuz I mean look, no, no, no, dude, just give
me an it. Don't give me a Matt eber Flues
or don't give me a Kevin O'Connell. Oh I may,
I may stick with Josh Josh Dobbs done a lot.
Now give me the are you on ty shirt side
of my side? Don't give me that Kevin o'conddle. We're
gonna look at and look at the tape. Done. Just
give me an answer. Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Well?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I think we can have a very liberal definition of
the word holiday. Holiday holiday, because anything that's putting me
in a good mood is a holiday song. So if
he were to say, play a little bit of tears
for fears, I wouldn't complain.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Kevin O'Connell, that's you. You're KOC
now that.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I almost benched him in the second half.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You're KOC. You're KOC now. So we got more football
coming up in a few minutes, because it looks a
lot of big takeaway from the playoff pool today in
college football. We got big stuff from the NBA. But uh,
we are now getting to the point where things are
getting serious for some big deals in Major League Baseball today.
According to John Haymon and some other MLB insiders, the
(32:47):
Yankees are in on three of the biggest free agents
you can get or trade pieces you can get this offseason,
and he expects the Yankees to get at least two
of them. That's Yoshinoba Yamamoto who is coming over from Japan,
Juan Soto and Cody Bellinger. Right, these are some big
guys that are gonna be worth a lot of money
(33:08):
and get paid a lot of money at some point soon.
So my first thing I want to say, is that, Well,
maybe I was right in the very beginning, and the
Yankees are the real Yankees are back, and we had
Brian Cashman is a wizard.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
That's we had.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We had to go through Brian Cashman giving us some
stupid crap like trying to paint a two game over
five hundred record, like we've succeeded, We've won. Big dude,
you finished four games out of last place, and he's
trying to tell us, like, hey, we had a great season.
What are you talking about. Maybe the Yankees are back.
Maybe he was just like trying to snake us the
entire time, And now the Yankees are gonna go crazy
(33:42):
and they're gonna go buy a couple of guys and
spend five hundred plus million dollars. Maybe the Yankees are
gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I do appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
The uh, the curiosity was about forty eight hours ago
was yeah, he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Be a padre. He ain't going anywhere when it comes
to Zuo right now.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
So it was completely gone, right, completely gone.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Yeah, suddenly you got Rosenthal, you got him, and everybody
goes yeah, it's just a matter of what the destination
is like Okay, that escalated quickly.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, you had to think something was gonna hap. You know, look,
they lost their owner and Inger Sidler died. It was
such a sad story because the guy was so you know,
and look, maybe he decided he wanted to go all
in because he knew whatever time he had left, he
wanted to try to win in the next couple of years.
So we spent a lot of money on these on
these guys, and it worked out great. Now, okay, hey,
(34:30):
the Padres, we'll figure it out from here, and we'll
certainly can move on from guys if there's players that
people are gonna want in trade. And Soto's that kind
of guy, right.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
They know they took that loan because of all of
their expenditures as well. So there was a whole hey,
you're gonna get your TV Rev. Sharre and we talked
about it, and you know, the jokes were there, plentiful
until you know, he he passed away. Then all of
a sudden you pull back and it's like, all right,
to your point that you know, maybe it was a
(34:59):
all right, I want to see this team perform as
well as I can while I can, uh kind of
situation and Soto becomes an easy asset to divest yourself
of great demand, great performance and in future, and so
maybe you can go pluck away a bevy of underpriced
prospects in return.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
See now. And here's the thing. Here's where, Isaac, where
you think I'm gonna zag. I'm not that excited about
the prospect of what it's gonna cost to get one Soto.
And I don't mean just what you're gonna have to
trade for him, what it means overall. Right, because we
saw reports today, you know from Rosenthal Hayman that maybe
a couple of top hundred prospects overall from it. You know,
(35:42):
from a team, you got two guys in the top
hundred you can trade, that would be enough. Because Soto
is gonna be a free agent. Teams aren't gonna do
that to get one Soto for one year unless they
want to sign them. So you're gonna give up a
couple of big time prospect a couple of top hundred guys, right,
that would be at the top of anybody for one year,
not knowing if you're gonna get Wan Soda because the
(36:04):
pressure to resign him is going to be immense and
is soda worth it as good a player as he is.
I mean, yes, the guy is young and and he hits,
and he is shown everywhere that he has been terrific.
But the guy's already turned down a four hundred million
dollar contract a couple of times. You know what's gonna
cost it? Forget, it's gonna be Otani money to get
(36:24):
Juan Soto, and it pitisy and as good as he
as good as he is, you know, Sodo is a
thirty three and one hundred and a two to eighty guy.
That's who Jan Soto is, right about thirty. That's who
he's average for his career. He's thirty three hundred to
which is great, right that that's great? But to trade
the prospects and give him five hundred million for there
(36:45):
are twenty five guys in Major League Baseball last year
who are able to do that. You're able to go
thirty one hundred around two ways. There are twenty five
guys I got, I got them all in front of me.
There are twenty five guys. None of them are making
five hundred million dollars a year. That's just from last year.
I think the account guys like Aaron judge who missed
part of the year and are thirty to one hundred guys.
There's so many guys that can do what he does.
(37:07):
He's great, he's terrific. I'm not saying he's not, but
he's not Miguel Cabrera where he's hitting forty five or
fifty on runs, knocking in one hundred and thirty runs
and hitting three thirty Like, that's not who won. Soto
is one. Soto is a really good player, and he's
been consistent right when he came up, and he's great,
But is he worth all of that? That's why I'm
not excited about getting him. Yeah, it's a great story.
I'm excited to talk about it. But to get one Soto, yeah,
(37:30):
I think the idea one Soto is better than actually
what you have to give up to get him, what's
going to cost to keep him?
Speaker 5 (37:34):
No.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
I enjoy the way you analyze that, DJ. I love
the way you analyze going back to it old Ken
Harrelson Darren Jackson kind of exchanged with the White Sox
in the booth many years ago. But the it takes one, right,
That's all it takes is one team that doesn't have
a guy that puts up those numbers. That's all it's
gonna take to push Bellinger. Is interesting also because you know,
(37:58):
potentially staying in Chicago, but suitors that the Giants obviously
the Yankees and going on Yamamoto.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
The big wild card and all this.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
But yeah, so SODA's gonna get his money. You may
not like it, it may make you feel queasy, but
as long as it's not the Mets, you'll be okay
with it.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Watch and watch. I just put it out there for
the Mets to do it. They're gonna trade Alonzo and Lindorna. Oh,
we're gonna go get on. So coming up, coming up next,
more NFL controversy and a great story out of the
NBA Fox
