(00:48):
I've kind of had a heavy show tonight, lot of O. J.
Simpson talk obviously, look biggest story going on Tevy stuff
with a lot of different extensions back into society and
pop culture. So yeah, it can't be ignored, still lives
thirty years later. But now because we've had a heavy show,
let's do something a little fun. Yeah, both you and
I filled in during the day yesterday, so we were
(01:09):
both off last night, so I was able to go
to trivia for the first night with Pam. I told
you they went to the championship last week and they lost.
But just like bowling, like the new you know, trivia
starts the next week. So because we were going on Wednesdays, wait,
let's get everybody in and so my dad came with
us and Zoe came with us. So it was pretty
(01:29):
cool streat. Yeah yeah, I mean, and they served they
serve food in the bar, so Zoe could be there
because you know, she's only fish. I was going to
ask that question. My dad went out in public late
at night, like past seven o'clock at night. Yeah, it
was weird. The Yankees are good. Did he wear a
ski mask for the Yankee No, no, no, no, like he
was Spider Man people, he was Anthony Volpi. Nobody didn't
wear a Yankee hat though. Yeah. Uh so I had
(01:53):
the two big sports questions again they gave us last night. Okay,
at first, I want to say this, So we're getting
ready to start trivia, and they always play a song
to give you a clue, like they tell you the
question and then they'll the guy will play a song
that will kind of be some kind of clue to
the answer, Like they'll say, hey, what book written in
(02:14):
nineteen fifty one was an allegory for society that was
published that was the biggest selling book this author ever had.
And then you know, you go okay. And then then
the song that would play would be they'd play Jump
by Van Halen, and you'd have to then go, okay,
van Halen Jump? What is it? Jennhill? Oh, it's off
A nineteen eighty four. Oh, nineteen eighty four, right, so
(02:36):
that's here. So the was like that, Yeah, So I'm
joking around with my dad. My dad is really smart
like stuff like trivia, like he knows. But I tell
the rest of the team, I go, yeah, anything before
in nineteen sixty this is the guy that's gonna answer it.
So I'm going, yeah, what are you gonna know? Dad?
What are you gonna know? What are you gonna know?
He's going on, I don't know, I don't know. What
are you gonna know? And then you know, then the
first question is okay, first question is, uh, what were
(02:59):
the first three locations that the television show n Cis
used as settings for their show, and I just looked
at my dad and I said, m VP, MVP and
they started he didn't write that question, and they started
playing ooh La La by The Faces as a as
A as A as A as Guys. I'm going, oh,
and my dad's going give me the paper. I got it.
(03:20):
And I'm just sitting there singing ooh La La because
it's one of my favorite songs. And my dad is
trying to write stuff Dad, and I'm going, poor Granddad.
He's going, when Joe stop, I'm trying to write, Dad,
I go, Dad, I already know Joey started singing it.
Ah wait, Zoe knows the Faces seventies fan uh and
she knows that song because they did it in Daisy
(03:40):
Jones and the sixth wishaw knew. And my Dad's going
when Joe just stop, I can't concentrate, so he writes
down the answer. I go, well, Dad, obviously, ooh la
la two of the answer Los Angeles and New Orleans Radios.
Do you know? I go, well, la la oo la.
Law has got to be the clue. Los Angeles, Louisiana,
New Orleans goes yeah, yeah, you're right, but he got
(04:01):
it right, he wrote it down. Not many people got
it right, and so my dad was really excited about that.
Well it's the third one. L A. New Orleans, DC
was the very first one right. It was like, oh,
my dad knew like anything a long time ago. And
I go, if we have a CSI category, we're gonna
sweep Dad, You're gonna be great. So so we're doing
pretty well. We wound up coming in fourth, I think
(04:22):
because the question we got at the end, we didn't
get it right. So I didn't win because you were there.
No no, no, I no, I really no no no.
I normally clean up. Well here's the thing. When I've
gone before, we've come in third second. But we had
two sports questions last night and I didn't get the
second one. Did you have stage fright? Kauzoe was there? No, no, no.
It was fun until we could see us talking about
(04:43):
fun important stuff. And I'm because one time I had
to look at Pam and I go, the answer is
not this. The answer is Zeus. They're playing thunder Road
Thunderbolt Zeus. It's not Poseidon. It's like, I don't understand.
Listen to the song. It's the clue. It's thunder Rotch,
this thunder Rock, this is thunder Road, and he always
looking at them both like what the hell is Over
in the corner, a couple of folks are doing their
best Springsteen. So here's the first sports question that I got.
(05:08):
Because again, as soon as the guy says sports, everybody
at the table looks at me, and I'm like, great, okay,
Now this one's pretty easy, Steve to say, you're gonna
play along here in Frostburg. You're gonna play along here.
Uh so, where's ty Shirt? Oh, Steve de Sager's got
to be able to play here. Ty Shirt's not gonna
turn your Michae loocause tyshert Well, the first one you
would know, Stee, We'll get you for the We'll get
(05:29):
tysher back for the second one, because the first one's
pretty easy. The first one was okay, major League Baseball.
I'm like, all right, good, Major League Baseball. I got it,
and and they said okay. In twenty twenty three, major
League Baseball increased the size of what by twenty percent?
And I said, oh, I got it. I wrote it down,
and I said, okay, it's pretty easy. What in the
year ago, what did Major League Baseball increase by twenty percent.
(05:52):
What what item did they increase by twenty percent? The
cost of your not job? Yes, no, that's like that's
ninety percent. Yeah, the basis right. So I saw quite
the orange base that you had when you play a
travel ball. The orange bases for the runner, the white
bases for the you know what though, but they I
always talk to the up because like I can use
(06:13):
the orange base. The throws coming right, it's like, yeah, yeah,
put yourself in arms with just they're into you, that's
your well no, but if the ball's coming I I
was good. So like people would run into me as
and I just stayed there. I was like, you're on
my god, I can't believe you did that so great.
So I'm like, all right, great. So then they get
to this one and you get you got points for
(06:36):
everyone you got right. You got full credit if you
got two right, and you got extra credit if you
got three right. And I didn't get it right, but
I was, But I was okay with it because it
wasn't a wheelhouse question. Okay, it's an Olympic question. It's okay.
Now taking Russia out of it, because Russia is both
European and Asia. These three European countries have the most
(06:58):
medals of all time in Winter Olympics. What three European
countries have the most medals gold, silver, bronze all time
in Winter Olympic history. I got one of them. I
thought for sure I had all three, and then I said,
oh man, I only had one of these, and I
just looked around it and go sorry. But I'm like,
(07:18):
I was okay with this. Okay, So Steve says, Norway. Okay,
Norway's the first. Guess okay, Norway, Harmon, who do you
think is uh in the top three? Never Russia is
out of it. He could have Sweden right there with him.
Could be Sweden. You can never discount the Germans comes
(07:39):
down and stuff. Well, now, when he came to Olympic events,
I will say that. I will say this, Steve is right.
Norway has the most medals by far of any European country.
They have more medals in the United States in the
Winter Olympics. I'm like, oh my god, so number one
(08:00):
nor is number one. Did not get Norway. I did
not because I said something else and I didn't get
it right. But one of the other ones I got right,
and the other one I'm like, oh, I would have
never said them in a million years. So one are
the other two? Norway is one? Who are the other two?
It would be your guest would be Germany if that
was your case. But do you want to guess Germany?
(08:22):
Which is what I said? Do you want well, you
said a bunch of things. Do you want to say German? Germany? Germany, Germany, Germany? Germany?
Number two? So I got Germany great? Okay great? And
now the third one, I'm like, oh, Man, I would
not have said them, no way because because I I'll
tell you what I said, but what my other guesses
were before. But I would have never had them, and
they were number three. Who's the third most medals of
(08:44):
any European country. I'm just trying to think of all
the different events, right, I mean, there's a lot of singing,
a lot of skating. They're skating and shooting, and one
of Mike Harmon's favorite people are from there. Who's one
of my Carmen's favorite people? Well, if I said the name,
I think I think I know who you're talking about.
And it's not this is he gonna start singing Waterloo again?
(09:06):
That's the answer, I said, I had that you just
wanted to sing Waterloo. You had Austria. No, no, not
as today. Okay, did you look up Austria? No? Did
you look it up? He's one of Mike Harmon's. He
is one of my favorite guys. Because the answer is Austria.
How about that, yeah I had? I said, okay, Germany Sweden.
(09:26):
I go, Sweden's got to be on there. I said,
Germany Sweden and then I said, oh boy. And then
they played a song by Aha. Now here's where I
kind of got talked out of my answer of of uh,
Norway is because they played Aha and Pam goes, oh ah,
it's it's Finland and I said you sure? Said yes,
AHAs from Finland. I said, oh okay, And I said
(09:48):
are you sure they're from Finland? And she goes yeah,
she goes, I'm pretty sure, and I said okay. So
I was like, all right, ahaz, because I didn't where
Aha was. Because they played take on Me and I'm like, okay, great,
So I said definitely Germany death only sweeten. I didn't
give any room for Austria, like no, no, no, and
and okay, and we'll say Finland then and said in Norway. Okay, great, great,
And then it came out he says the answers and
(10:09):
I said, and so I yelled to go, hey, what
was the deal with that clue? And he goes, oh,
alaha is from Norway. And I looked at Pam and
I said, you were sure? I said, I was pretty sure.
I said, I was pretty sure it was either Findland
or Nory. I'm like, no, now you're changing things. Now
you're changing what you said. What you said couch, yeah, you,
this is all you. That was only a two point thing,
so it didn't matter, but that was a big I'm like, okay.
(10:32):
So I'm like, boy, we missed that. And I'm thinking
we should we should have had that. We should we
should have had that. It was uh that I'm when Swartz,
I'm like, okay, great and bift it Bift It didn't
get it right the Winter Olympics. So we got the
skiing with the shooting, Yeah, yeah, skating everything. AUSTI pretty
pretty good. I don't know. None of us even said Austria.
(10:54):
We were like, okay, is is Czech Republic? Is is it?
What they would know? Probably not ago the Scandonesian in
countries are so good, Sweden has to be. Sweden's so good. No,
Sweden's like way down. I'm like, Sweden's really disappointing a
small country. You're disappointing Swedeen. Oh the next of countries.
I mean they had Abba and then they have anybody. Well,
(11:14):
you know, fiftieth anniversary of Waterloo and a wait. It's
funny though, now that we're in the Austria and Arnold,
uh the thing that kept going around and everybody kept
adding the and OJ was almost considered to be the terminator,
one of the castings. You don't get that. No, I
realized that Arnold has made this claim before. H It's
one hundred percent not true. And I should know, Jim
(11:36):
and I never ever considered OJ, not even for a
nano second. But evidently Lance Hendrickson was How about that?
Oh he would have been okay, Well, then he played
the synthetic man and aliens. See there you have it. Yeah,
that's a pretty good because question I like that played MUMBLETYPEG.
The whole terminator didn't have a knife though, No, he
did well, well, Lance Hendrickson would have because he did
the MUMBLETYPEG with an aliens. Was pretty cool that he
(11:58):
cut himself. That's who you knew something was synthetic. Man
cut himself. That's not it's not going to bode well
for the survivors of the Nostromo coming up later on,
like the Terminu Stromo not gonna happen. That's a good trivia.
How do we do that again? Yeah, I'll wait. Well,
next time we work during the day, we'll do trivia
at night and then we'll get to do what you
put in that request. Hey, listen any anytime on Wednesdays.
(12:23):
We can work during the day, so we can do
trivia on Wednesday night. That's just the daytime thing at all.
It would be good. Uh. You know the other big
one that that was a big one was Tom Hanks
has been nominated for six Academy Awards in his career.
What were the six movies I'll give you? Just think
about this because coming up next to a way we'll
get into we'll get into Tom Brady and and potentially
(12:44):
return the day. But think about that. Okay, that's your answers.
Castaways want them six movies And I thought for sure
I had all six. And the guy said, I've done this.
You know, the guy goes from from bar to bar
or in Los Angeles goes, I've done this this question
a lot. Nobody's ever gotten all six. I'm like, I
got all six. I know what he was now, I
(13:04):
got all six. I got four, and I would have said, oh,
I would have never said he was nominated for that movie. Oh.
I would have never said he was nominated for that movie.
So I got four out of the six, which I
felt pretty good about.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh, I never would have thought he'd been nominated to like,
but nobody else got because I could tell, like when
he gives the answer, everybody goes oh, and nobody cheers like, oh,
they didn't get that. Are you gonna quiz this on this?
If you want to try to figure out did you
say Philadelphia? I'll give you the answer. It's Philadelphia and Forrest.
Come well, you know Philadelphia and Forrest Gump definitively because
he won for both one for both? All right? Yeah,
ty Shirt said Castaway, which yes, that's one of the
(13:38):
ones that we is big right, yep, I did not
get big because I forgot who was nominated Best Actress
for Big Right? Stop with that, like you knew that yeah.
That was his first nominated nomination, and I'm like, oh man,
I did not think that at all. Then that was
one of them that that I didn't get. Because there's
so many. You go, okay, well, what else is not
We got Captain Phillips and we have Apollo thirteen and
(14:01):
you're like, oh my god, all this stuff and I'll
give you the answer now because you have the the
one we're missing is the other one was he was
nominated for Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood in twenty twenty
mister Rogers, which was not that you know, which was
the pandemic. It's like, oh wow, so that was the
one we missed. And I'm like, that was mors Gump,
(14:21):
Big Castaway, Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. What was the
other thirteen? Okay, so that but that was the one
that was the one. I'm like, he didn't get nominated
for this one and this one and this one is
but those are the two were I mean, he wasn't
the Captain. Now, no, what about Toy Story? It happened
not nominated for Toy Story. He was well, I mean
the movie was h him individually him being nominated. He
(14:45):
didn't that that's what it was, only sick. No, not
nominated for that of their own really not nominated for
so many things. I'm like he was that was TV show.
How about you got Mail? Dave Chappelle, he produced it,
not and you got mail? No sleeplessness. He was not
nominated for bachelor party or splash. No, no, those were
(15:05):
rat a snake in his boot and doesn't get it nominated.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Best Cranberry song ever. Jason Fox Sports Radio. Hi, the
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Love from Thetirack dot
Com studios. We had the latest on Tom Brady coming
up in a couple of minutes. But this bit of
big news coming in Kentucky looks like they have zeroed
(17:45):
in on who is going to replace John Calipari. According
to Pete Thamil Jeff Borzello VESPN, they are nearing a
five year deal with former Kentucky player Mark Pope. It's
all right, who was head coach up until now of
byu Hey, he's a champion. In fact, if you go
to who says you Can't go home again? If you
(18:05):
go to his Twitter page, he's already the head coach
of Kentucky. Yes, when did he win in nineteen ninety six?
Who they beat? Syracuse? Right? So Mark Pope is now
gonna be Kentucky's new head coach. And you know, I
hate to say I told you so. I hate to
do it. I don't especially here because this is a
(18:26):
day in which we saw Scott Drew saying no, I'm
staying in Baylor instead, and then Kentucky reportedly reached out
Danny Hurley said no, how do you not reach out
to Danny Hurley first? I mean, come on, the guy
just won two back to back titles. He's like the
third guy you called. Are you sure they hadn't reached
out earlier? They just he talked about it. He talked
about it Monday to day after they won the title.
(18:49):
You called him the next day. They not get a
hold of his wife because he said to call the wife.
This whole coaching search was run so horribly by Kentucky. Canny.
I tell you I know I would run a better search.
First of all, you don't ask the guy that just
won back to back national titles, like the third guy
in line going, hey, do you want to come to Kentucky.
He's gonna tell you to take off. Of course that's
(19:10):
what Danny Hurley's but I think you got a list.
And you say, did anybody call him? It's like, well,
we just assumed he wasn't gonna come. He said he
wasn't coming. Well, you gotta at least call. We got
to close the loop. But if you're already being told
if you get if you get told no by Danny Hurley, Okay,
I get it. The guy just won two titles. He's
staying you can get told no by one guy. That's
the guy. Everybody else you look awful. And this was
(19:33):
an awful way to run it. And Mitch Barne, who's
the ad from Kentucky, completely butchered this from the beginning.
I know I could run a better way to go
because here's a deal with Cali Perry. You know that
if you are Kentucky, Kentucky Nation, they were ready to
have him go. We know this because when the story
broke Sunday night that he was talking to Arkansas, there
(19:54):
was no resistance. There was nothing from Kentucky saying hey,
well what we want to keep you. We think you're
our guy. We're gonna go forward. No, no, no, you
know they were ready to let him go. Well, we
had one writer that came up and said, well he
came back with a number, and they basically said, yeah,
go ahead, yeah let me then let me just say
this just before we get into it. Just understand, let
this sink in before I get in myy. I told
(20:15):
you so. Point. You didn't like Caliperry anymore, who won
a national title, has been to final fours and is
still winning in the sec. You don't like him, But
a guy who's a head coach who's never won an
NCAA tournament game is your guy. But he's their guy.
Think about that. Let that sing He's coming. Calip Perry's
(20:35):
not your guy. He's that song. But a guy who's
never won with the Jennifer Nettles and bon Jovi version,
Well you can either do that version or the no no,
that's that's that's overplayed now, the the Jennifer Nettles bon Jovi.
So remember, Cali not your guy. But again, a guy
that's never won an NCAA tournament game, as a coach,
(20:58):
he's your guy. He's never lost more than fifteen games
how season while at BYU. Look, this is how programs
go from elite to circling the drain. Not that Mark
Pope's not a good coach. He's a culture builder and
I'm sure he'll build a great culture of Kentucky. It's
what he's getting a lot of credit for at BYU.
But you're about final fours. I was told what was
going on now was not right? Was this was not good?
(21:21):
Two straight losses to a team that's a lower seed,
even though we're winning and still going far in the
tournament up until the last couple of years. And this
is the guy you wind up with. This is what
I meant when I said, if you're okay with saying
goodbye to John Caliperry, who's the guy coming in that's
gonna be better, who's going to continue to win in
the SEC and get you to final fours? Tell me
(21:42):
the guy that's out there and go get him if
he's there. And what happened. They couldn't. They couldn't. There
was nobody out there because the people said no. So
now they're stuck with Mark Pope, who well, he's a
guy that would say yes, because all the other all
the guys they wanted to, all said no. When you're
Kentucky and you are the number one school in the country,
when you let a guy go, you know who your
(22:04):
next guy is, right, you know who your next guy is?
Or hey, if it's one of two guys, all right,
if Danny Hurley says no, this is our guy. This
is how you conduct a search. How they did it
here was so ham handed, and it looked like they
were reactionary. They thought, anybody we want to will come coach,
and now none of them did. So this is how
you wind up with Mark Pope because you could Cali
(22:25):
Perry's not your guy, but no, we know somebody that's
gonna get us further. How do you think suddenly going
to a guy that's not done that is gonna get
you further. This is how programs go from hey, we're
every year, we're at the top of our conference, we're
a big tournament threat, to we're eighteen and fourteen and
we may be getting into the nit we're sixteen and thirteen.
(22:45):
This is how it happens to Kentucky. We've seen it
happen to Kentucky before. This is how it goes when
this is how you conduct your coaching search, This is
what you wind up happen. Not saying that Mark Pope
is definitely going to fail, but you really you're going
from Cali Parry to Mark Pope and thinking, Hey, our
program's head in the right direction. Are you kidding me? Well?
The curiosity I have is some of the statements made
from Calibery talking about NIL and the systems and structures
(23:09):
at Kentucky, talking about having to do a lot of
it himself. And it goes to something we talked about
the other day as this story started swirling, was well,
how much is you're going back to the well saying
we need to change how we do business and I
need you to commit to XYZ versus you just didn't
have the infrastructure right. It was one of my main
(23:30):
criticisms I think of your school and at my school
that in this new day and age where you've got
media types, actors, politicians, all these folks of great influence
and let's face it, some cash reserves, that the schools
were slow to adopt the new policies and procedures and
(23:50):
potential first mover advantages and maybe Kentucky the same way,
didn't activate the same way because Calibery had a fine
running engine right for all those years, and then the
rules of engagement change. So does Pope necessarily get the
same buy in or Zianna got to build that essentially
from scratch, because if you're to believe what Cali Ferry
said in his exit, there was nothing there. Yeah, so
(24:13):
he's starting from day one. Which if that's the case,
good luck. I mean, you're you're running from forty yards behind.
I warned you, I told you when you're gonna get
rid of it. Guy, make sure the guy coming in
and there was nobody out there. But still no, No,
we got to push on. We got to move on.
Telling you, man, so earlier today, I would have told you, well,
the odds of Tom Brady returning to the NFL this
(24:34):
season or zero, it's not gonna happen. He's done. Everything's
moving on. He's gonna be on with Fox. Yeah. But
then Brady goes on a podcast called The Deep Cut.
It's getting a haircut from a dude who asked him
a question about Hey, Tom, so if the team called
you at some point this season, would you come back.
I'm expecting Brady go, no, I'm done. It's been a while.
I'm retired. Yeah, yeah, no. But instead this was Tom
(24:57):
Brady's response one day. It is situation right, Maybe it's
the forty nine ers. Maybe you know, head to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Offense is great, Patriots, somebody, somebody Raiders, let be?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You never know, Scott forbid, somebody goes down. Would you
pick up that phone. I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
If they would, I don't know if they're gonna let
me if I become an owner in the NFL team, But.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I don't know. If I don't know, I'm always going
to be a good shape. I always be able to
throw the ball, so to come in for a little
bit like MJ coming back. I don't know if they
let me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it, all right,
I wouldn't be opposed to it. Now, the team that
was brought up before was a team like San Francisco. Yeah,
so San Francisco. He name drops New England, the Raiders.
(25:38):
First things first, his New England. Belichick's out there anymore.
I'm wrong. Com me, I'm ready to come back. Blank
you man, I'm coming home. I'm coming on there you go,
there's your song.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's interesting that he mentions Jordan, because clearly Brady's got
the same issue that Michael Jordan does. Great competitors sometimes
just happens to them. How do you find the satisfaction
retirement that you once got on the field of play?
And that was Jordan's whole thing. He retired, he unretired,
he retired, he unretired, he retired again. Right, couldn't find
(26:11):
that jolt that was going to sustain him once his
playing days were over. The competitiveness of Jordan, the legendary competitiveness,
try to do it as a front office member, as
an owner, just hasn't happened for him. Same thing with Brady.
Brady's retired, He's come back, he retired. Now he's talking
about coming back again. Because Brady should shut the door
(26:31):
if he's done. I'm done. But if a team called me,
I wouldn't be opposed to it. Except thirty two teams, okay,
thirty one teams. Now know, if we're in dire straits,
if we're a good team near the end of the season,
we have a quarterback injury. And let's face it, what
sixty two quarterbacks started last year, different quarterbacks. There's gonna
(26:52):
be team teams that are good playoff hunt, playoff teams
that are gonna need a quarterback because some he gets hurt.
And now they know I can go call Tom Brady.
The chances of him coming back to the NFL have
jumped from zero to at least fifty percent. And now
is he someone that's gonna play a whole season. No,
it doesn't seem like he's like that. He wants me
(27:13):
to the point where, hey, I'll play a little bit
now at the end when I can like the whole
eighteen game, the Riggers of the whole season. No, but
I know watching Joe Flacco come off his couch last
year and throw the Browns into the playoffs and play
pretty well, I can do that. But we saw that
with other quarterbacks, right, even a guy like Josh Dobbs
had a flash. Yeah for a couple of games. Yeah,
(27:34):
Brady's probably thinking, if that mother blanker can do it,
I can do it. Yeah. I could come off to sure,
you don't blank that guy. You're gonna go over. You're
gonna go with this mother blaker. So you know he
knows I can do it. And now it's okay. If
it happens, great, If it doesn't, it doesn't. But if
it could happen this year, could happen next year. I
can always throw the football. Look, he's someone that's always
(27:56):
I'm always gonna keep myself in shape. If you're a quarterback, kicker, punter,
you come off your couch and go contribute. Like I said,
we saw it all last year, Josh Dobbs went to
a new team, didn't know anybody's name, through the vikings
to a victory. Right Joe Flacco on his couch, didn't
play at all, no practice, no training, can, no nothing. Yeah,
I can still throw the ball and look at where
he is, look a where he would look how well
he played with that Cleveland Browns team. He's thinking I
(28:17):
can do that now. It's got to be a case
of playoff team, chance to play in January, because he's
not gonna come back and say, hey, maybe I'll throw
this team into the playoffs, because those are days that
probably are over for him. But hey, team coming back.
I can get we're a playoff team and I could
be playing in January. Oh yeah, someone's gonna call him.
Someone is going to call it space. Good offensive line
(28:39):
go step right. In back to back years we had
over sixty quarterback start and I guarant damn team. Part
of the genesis of that question is doing the research
for Fox and going through and doing rehearsal games and
snippets and react and tape watching, which we'd seen him
do a lot during the course of the last year
as well. Is you do that a bit more? You realize, Wait,
(29:02):
I'm still better than how how many guys would you
say the last time you saw Brady on the field?
Are truly better than that version that we saw of him?
Ten twelve maybe? And then guys on you know, one
random Sunday once a month. Otherwise the quarterbacking position drops
off precipitously pretty early. Now, how good would he be
(29:26):
if he did come back? I think the answer might
surprise you. Super Bowl, SUPERB Bowl. That's next right here,
Jason and Mike, this is Fox Sports Radio. I spent
twenty years trying to get the Mets to win a game.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
(29:48):
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with
My best Friend Mike Harmon live from the tirect dot
com studios, where a huge bombshell dropped today because really,
Tom Brady went from there's no chances coming back to
the NFL to at least fifty percent if someone calls
(30:12):
him'll return it straight out of wrestle Mania, I'm back.
He does the Deep Cut podcast today while getting a haircut.
I like what you called it, the Final Cut Pop Final.
They were listening to Roger Waters think about War again,
listens a final cut and we're gonna do is uh?
And he gives this answer when he is asked about
(30:32):
would he come back to play if a team called
him at some point this season one day? It is
a situation, right, Maybe it's the forty nine ers. Maybe
you know, headed to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Offense is great, Patriots, somebody, somebody raiders be you never.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Know, Scott forbid, somebody goes down. Would you pick up
that phone. I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
If they would, I don't know if they're gonna let
me if I become an owner in the NFL team, But.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
If I don't know, I'm always going to be a
good shape, always be able to the ball. So to
come in for a little bit like MJ coming back.
I don't know if they let me, but I wouldn't
be opposed to.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It unless it's the Jets blank them. Oh no, you kid.
I would have been fun if he'd said that, I
still have problems with Woody Johnson and I'm not following
that gay and and never the Jets, and never the Jets.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, if he was done, he would have said it.
He wants to keep that door open because he has
trouble with retiring still, right, we did not have people
talking about him right well, well if he were, if
he was done, he's doing games for Fox this fall,
and he's gonna want to. Look, there's no way he
wants to play a whole season. There's no way he doesn't.
He doesn't want to come and train. He's at the
(31:42):
point where Roger Clemens was late in his career, where
it was, Hey, I really want to play like a
third of the season. I want to come back sometime
in the summer, pitch in September and in the playoffs.
That's what I want to do. And the lucky few
are able to do that because you have that much
cashe and they know you can get it done. Now,
Brady will have been away from the NF for almost
two years if he does come back. But here's the thing.
(32:04):
If Brady comes back, he'd be fine. He would be
very much like Joe Flacco was last year with the Browns.
Maybe a little bit better touchdown interception ratio. Yeah, he's
not gonna turn the bay, certainly, he's not gonna turn
the ball over a lot. But when you're a quarterback
and certain positions, it's easier to come back and play
(32:25):
at a high level even if you haven't been doing
NFL training, especially Brady's been doing it for twenty two years.
Like if you were a defensive back or a wide receiver,
running back, there's being in shape and there's being an
NFL shape and it takes a while to get back
to it. But as we've seen quarterbacks, kickers, punters, hey,
they go from their couch onto the field very short
amount of time. They can do it. If Brady came back,
(32:47):
he would be a little bit better version of Flacco
because he was a better quarterback than Flacco. He is
a little bit older, but still he was playing at
a really high level even when he retired, and as
long as he's on a good team, which he would be.
He would hand pick his team with a great offensive line. Yeah,
I'll come back and play. He'll come back for the paint.
If the Patriots are good and suddenly things are great
(33:09):
and girod meyos back, Hey man, I'll come back and play.
But they have to be good and they have to
be going to the playoffs. They can't be a team that, hey,
if you come play for us, maybe will make the playoffs.
This has to be something that is late November Thanksgiving ish,
where hey, we're going to the playoffs. Even if you
take a couple of weeks to get back in shape
and we lose a couple of games, We're still going
(33:30):
to the postseason. And he would do that in a second,
and he would be just fine. I'd want him if
something happened to Aaron Rodgers again, Hey go get Tom Brady.
Go get Tom Brady. Why not? I know he's been
better than saying, well, let's turn to a guy who's
third string, never gotten it done, No, one hundred percent.
I am all for getting Tom Brady. Caleb's no good
and the Bears are in the playoff mix, he can
go learn behind the master Tom Brady bears, how about that?
(33:54):
And I think sy I just twist turn this whole
thing out of tad.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
But and that's the thing. I don't think there's any
team he would say no to, as long as they
are a Super Bowl threat. But there's no team he
would say no to. Legitimately. If you go back and
you if you're Tom Brady and you're watching this and
you're prep for Fox, and just because you're a football junkie,
how many quarterbacks could you really And this is him
being honest with himself, would he put up on the
(34:19):
whiteboard that he knows are better than he is right now?
He would probably if if in Okay, in his reality,
he would probably say there's two or three guys, but
in actual reality, there's probably ten to twelve. Say it's ten.
That's still two thirds of the league you're better at.
Oh yeah, well, well look take the Browns for example, Like, okay,
(34:40):
he's coming in better than anybody the Browns had last
year after they went from Watsdy went. I think Brian
Site played a few downs last year. Four guys etr
and everybody else. I mean, you're talking about each year
over sixty quarterbacks wind up starting in the NFL because
people get hurt. There will be at least one or
two teams in that situation down the stretch. But that's
the key, is that they have to be Super Bowl threats. Cowboys, Cowboys.
(35:03):
He would come easily. He come back up by, you kidding,
easily come back by for the cob as long as
and here's the only caveat hey, is this an offensive
line that's gonna keep me upright? As long as the
offensive line is intact and it's good and I can
stay upright and make throws, great, I'll do it. But
is he gonna come back for a team like, let's
just say it's the Ravens and Lamar Jackson's heard a
couple injured on the offensive line, Hey, Lamar Jackson would
(35:24):
run out of trouble a lot of design runs Like,
is that an offense he would go back into? Is
that made? Even if the Ravens are thirteen and two
at some point? Yeah? I don't know. So it's got
to be the right situation. There's gonna be that situation.
And as long as he can say in the pocket
and throw, yeah, one hundred percent man. NFL drafts two
weeks from tonight and we've got Brady talk. Come on,
let's go. How great is this? Yeah, like I said, Jets,
(35:46):
anybody I avoided mostly for four hours, Nickson Mets taught.
Oh job, Frostburg. It's been a good job, T Shirt.
It's been a big night for both. Way to go, squad.
I mean the Mets had that huge win over the
one series against the break. He's in the Knicks. Look
at the Knicks man blowing the crap out of the Celtics.
We're going thir thirteen games ahead of everybody. Doesn't literally care.
(36:08):
They've lost three games at home all year. Make it
four now? Nicks up, Nicks, Nicks, Knicks, Knicks, Knicks, Nicks,
Knick Knicks, Nicks. Go New York, Go New York, Go,
go New York, Go New York. You gonna go watch
the Shwimmer bio thing off the OJ Triller. What, No,
I'm not gonna go back and watch that again. Oh
you've actually watched the whole Watch it again. I watched
(36:29):
when it came out. It's pretty cool. Okay, I don't
need to see it again. Done with just like wonder
what just like remember when you asked about Wonder Woman too,
what'd you think? And I said, I don't think i'll
see it again. It's kind of I saw one about
that myself. Yeah, okay, we said, I don't think i'll

Simpson talk obviously, look biggest story going on Tevy stuff
with a lot of different extensions back into society and
pop culture. So yeah, it can't be ignored, still lives
thirty years later. But now because we've had a heavy show,
let's do something a little fun. Yeah, both you and
I filled in during the day yesterday, so we were
(01:09):
both off last night, so I was able to go
to trivia for the first night with Pam. I told
you they went to the championship last week and they lost.
But just like bowling, like the new you know, trivia
starts the next week. So because we were going on Wednesdays, wait,
let's get everybody in and so my dad came with
us and Zoe came with us. So it was pretty
(01:29):
cool streat. Yeah yeah, I mean, and they served they
serve food in the bar, so Zoe could be there
because you know, she's only fish. I was going to
ask that question. My dad went out in public late
at night, like past seven o'clock at night. Yeah, it
was weird. The Yankees are good. Did he wear a
ski mask for the Yankee No, no, no, no, like he
was Spider Man people, he was Anthony Volpi. Nobody didn't
wear a Yankee hat though. Yeah. Uh so I had
(01:53):
the two big sports questions again they gave us last night. Okay,
at first, I want to say this, So we're getting
ready to start trivia, and they always play a song
to give you a clue, like they tell you the
question and then they'll the guy will play a song
that will kind of be some kind of clue to
the answer, Like they'll say, hey, what book written in
(02:14):
nineteen fifty one was an allegory for society that was
published that was the biggest selling book this author ever had.
And then you know, you go okay. And then then
the song that would play would be they'd play Jump
by Van Halen, and you'd have to then go, okay,
van Halen Jump? What is it? Jennhill? Oh, it's off
A nineteen eighty four. Oh, nineteen eighty four, right, so
(02:36):
that's here. So the was like that, Yeah, So I'm
joking around with my dad. My dad is really smart
like stuff like trivia, like he knows. But I tell
the rest of the team, I go, yeah, anything before
in nineteen sixty this is the guy that's gonna answer it.
So I'm going, yeah, what are you gonna know? Dad?
What are you gonna know? What are you gonna know?
He's going on, I don't know, I don't know. What
are you gonna know? And then you know, then the
first question is okay, first question is, uh, what were
(02:59):
the first three locations that the television show n Cis
used as settings for their show, and I just looked
at my dad and I said, m VP, MVP and
they started he didn't write that question, and they started
playing ooh La La by The Faces as a as
A as A as A as Guys. I'm going, oh,
and my dad's going give me the paper. I got it.
(03:20):
And I'm just sitting there singing ooh La La because
it's one of my favorite songs. And my dad is
trying to write stuff Dad, and I'm going, poor Granddad.
He's going, when Joe stop, I'm trying to write, Dad,
I go, Dad, I already know Joey started singing it.
Ah wait, Zoe knows the Faces seventies fan uh and
she knows that song because they did it in Daisy
(03:40):
Jones and the sixth wishaw knew. And my Dad's going
when Joe just stop, I can't concentrate, so he writes
down the answer. I go, well, Dad, obviously, ooh la
la two of the answer Los Angeles and New Orleans Radios.
Do you know? I go, well, la la oo la.
Law has got to be the clue. Los Angeles, Louisiana,
New Orleans goes yeah, yeah, you're right, but he got
(04:01):
it right, he wrote it down. Not many people got
it right, and so my dad was really excited about that.
Well it's the third one. L A. New Orleans, DC
was the very first one right. It was like, oh,
my dad knew like anything a long time ago. And
I go, if we have a CSI category, we're gonna
sweep Dad, You're gonna be great. So so we're doing
pretty well. We wound up coming in fourth, I think
(04:22):
because the question we got at the end, we didn't
get it right. So I didn't win because you were there.
No no, no, I no, I really no no no.
I normally clean up. Well here's the thing. When I've
gone before, we've come in third second. But we had
two sports questions last night and I didn't get the
second one. Did you have stage fright? Kauzoe was there? No, no, no.
It was fun until we could see us talking about
(04:43):
fun important stuff. And I'm because one time I had
to look at Pam and I go, the answer is
not this. The answer is Zeus. They're playing thunder Road
Thunderbolt Zeus. It's not Poseidon. It's like, I don't understand.
Listen to the song. It's the clue. It's thunder Rotch,
this thunder Rock, this is thunder Road, and he always
looking at them both like what the hell is Over
in the corner, a couple of folks are doing their
best Springsteen. So here's the first sports question that I got.
(05:08):
Because again, as soon as the guy says sports, everybody
at the table looks at me, and I'm like, great, okay,
Now this one's pretty easy, Steve to say, you're gonna
play along here in Frostburg. You're gonna play along here.
Uh so, where's ty Shirt? Oh, Steve de Sager's got
to be able to play here. Ty Shirt's not gonna
turn your Michae loocause tyshert Well, the first one you
would know, Stee, We'll get you for the We'll get
(05:29):
tysher back for the second one, because the first one's
pretty easy. The first one was okay, major League Baseball.
I'm like, all right, good, Major League Baseball. I got it,
and and they said okay. In twenty twenty three, major
League Baseball increased the size of what by twenty percent?
And I said, oh, I got it. I wrote it down,
and I said, okay, it's pretty easy. What in the
year ago, what did Major League Baseball increase by twenty percent.
(05:52):
What what item did they increase by twenty percent? The
cost of your not job? Yes, no, that's like that's
ninety percent. Yeah, the basis right. So I saw quite
the orange base that you had when you play a
travel ball. The orange bases for the runner, the white
bases for the you know what though, but they I
always talk to the up because like I can use
(06:13):
the orange base. The throws coming right, it's like, yeah, yeah,
put yourself in arms with just they're into you, that's
your well no, but if the ball's coming I I
was good. So like people would run into me as
and I just stayed there. I was like, you're on
my god, I can't believe you did that so great.
So I'm like, all right, great. So then they get
to this one and you get you got points for
(06:36):
everyone you got right. You got full credit if you
got two right, and you got extra credit if you
got three right. And I didn't get it right, but
I was, But I was okay with it because it
wasn't a wheelhouse question. Okay, it's an Olympic question. It's okay.
Now taking Russia out of it, because Russia is both
European and Asia. These three European countries have the most
(06:58):
medals of all time in Winter Olympics. What three European
countries have the most medals gold, silver, bronze all time
in Winter Olympic history. I got one of them. I
thought for sure I had all three, and then I said,
oh man, I only had one of these, and I
just looked around it and go sorry. But I'm like,
(07:18):
I was okay with this. Okay, So Steve says, Norway. Okay,
Norway's the first. Guess okay, Norway, Harmon, who do you
think is uh in the top three? Never Russia is
out of it. He could have Sweden right there with him.
Could be Sweden. You can never discount the Germans comes
(07:39):
down and stuff. Well, now, when he came to Olympic events,
I will say that. I will say this, Steve is right.
Norway has the most medals by far of any European country.
They have more medals in the United States in the
Winter Olympics. I'm like, oh my god, so number one
(08:00):
nor is number one. Did not get Norway. I did
not because I said something else and I didn't get
it right. But one of the other ones I got right,
and the other one I'm like, oh, I would have
never said them in a million years. So one are
the other two? Norway is one? Who are the other two?
It would be your guest would be Germany if that
was your case. But do you want to guess Germany?
(08:22):
Which is what I said? Do you want well, you
said a bunch of things. Do you want to say German? Germany? Germany, Germany, Germany? Germany?
Number two? So I got Germany great? Okay great? And
now the third one, I'm like, oh, Man, I would
not have said them, no way because because I I'll
tell you what I said, but what my other guesses
were before. But I would have never had them, and
they were number three. Who's the third most medals of
(08:44):
any European country. I'm just trying to think of all
the different events, right, I mean, there's a lot of singing,
a lot of skating. They're skating and shooting, and one
of Mike Harmon's favorite people are from there. Who's one
of my Carmen's favorite people? Well, if I said the name,
I think I think I know who you're talking about.
And it's not this is he gonna start singing Waterloo again?
(09:06):
That's the answer, I said, I had that you just
wanted to sing Waterloo. You had Austria. No, no, not
as today. Okay, did you look up Austria? No? Did
you look it up? He's one of Mike Harmon's. He
is one of my favorite guys. Because the answer is Austria.
How about that, yeah I had? I said, okay, Germany Sweden.
(09:26):
I go, Sweden's got to be on there. I said,
Germany Sweden and then I said, oh boy. And then
they played a song by Aha. Now here's where I
kind of got talked out of my answer of of uh,
Norway is because they played Aha and Pam goes, oh ah,
it's it's Finland and I said you sure? Said yes,
AHAs from Finland. I said, oh okay, And I said
(09:48):
are you sure they're from Finland? And she goes yeah,
she goes, I'm pretty sure, and I said okay. So
I was like, all right, ahaz, because I didn't where
Aha was. Because they played take on Me and I'm like, okay, great,
So I said definitely Germany death only sweeten. I didn't
give any room for Austria, like no, no, no, and
and okay, and we'll say Finland then and said in Norway. Okay, great, great,
And then it came out he says the answers and
(10:09):
I said, and so I yelled to go, hey, what
was the deal with that clue? And he goes, oh,
alaha is from Norway. And I looked at Pam and
I said, you were sure? I said, I was pretty sure.
I said, I was pretty sure it was either Findland
or Nory. I'm like, no, now you're changing things. Now
you're changing what you said. What you said couch, yeah, you,
this is all you. That was only a two point thing,
so it didn't matter, but that was a big I'm like, okay.
(10:32):
So I'm like, boy, we missed that. And I'm thinking
we should we should have had that. We should we
should have had that. It was uh that I'm when Swartz,
I'm like, okay, great and bift it Bift It didn't
get it right the Winter Olympics. So we got the
skiing with the shooting, Yeah, yeah, skating everything. AUSTI pretty
pretty good. I don't know. None of us even said Austria.
(10:54):
We were like, okay, is is Czech Republic? Is is it?
What they would know? Probably not ago the Scandonesian in
countries are so good, Sweden has to be. Sweden's so good. No,
Sweden's like way down. I'm like, Sweden's really disappointing a
small country. You're disappointing Swedeen. Oh the next of countries.
I mean they had Abba and then they have anybody. Well,
(11:14):
you know, fiftieth anniversary of Waterloo and a wait. It's
funny though, now that we're in the Austria and Arnold,
uh the thing that kept going around and everybody kept
adding the and OJ was almost considered to be the terminator,
one of the castings. You don't get that. No, I
realized that Arnold has made this claim before. H It's
one hundred percent not true. And I should know, Jim
(11:36):
and I never ever considered OJ, not even for a
nano second. But evidently Lance Hendrickson was How about that?
Oh he would have been okay, Well, then he played
the synthetic man and aliens. See there you have it. Yeah,
that's a pretty good because question I like that played MUMBLETYPEG.
The whole terminator didn't have a knife though, No, he
did well, well, Lance Hendrickson would have because he did
the MUMBLETYPEG with an aliens. Was pretty cool that he
(11:58):
cut himself. That's who you knew something was synthetic. Man
cut himself. That's not it's not going to bode well
for the survivors of the Nostromo coming up later on,
like the Terminu Stromo not gonna happen. That's a good trivia.
How do we do that again? Yeah, I'll wait. Well,
next time we work during the day, we'll do trivia
at night and then we'll get to do what you
put in that request. Hey, listen any anytime on Wednesdays.
(12:23):
We can work during the day, so we can do
trivia on Wednesday night. That's just the daytime thing at all.
It would be good. Uh. You know the other big
one that that was a big one was Tom Hanks
has been nominated for six Academy Awards in his career.
What were the six movies I'll give you? Just think
about this because coming up next to a way we'll
get into we'll get into Tom Brady and and potentially
(12:44):
return the day. But think about that. Okay, that's your answers.
Castaways want them six movies And I thought for sure
I had all six. And the guy said, I've done this.
You know, the guy goes from from bar to bar
or in Los Angeles goes, I've done this this question
a lot. Nobody's ever gotten all six. I'm like, I
got all six. I know what he was now, I
(13:04):
got all six. I got four, and I would have said, oh,
I would have never said he was nominated for that movie. Oh.
I would have never said he was nominated for that movie.
So I got four out of the six, which I
felt pretty good about.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh, I never would have thought he'd been nominated to like,
but nobody else got because I could tell, like when
he gives the answer, everybody goes oh, and nobody cheers like, oh,
they didn't get that. Are you gonna quiz this on this?
If you want to try to figure out did you
say Philadelphia? I'll give you the answer. It's Philadelphia and Forrest.
Come well, you know Philadelphia and Forrest Gump definitively because
he won for both one for both? All right? Yeah,
ty Shirt said Castaway, which yes, that's one of the
(13:38):
ones that we is big right, yep, I did not
get big because I forgot who was nominated Best Actress
for Big Right? Stop with that, like you knew that yeah.
That was his first nominated nomination, and I'm like, oh man,
I did not think that at all. Then that was
one of them that that I didn't get. Because there's
so many. You go, okay, well, what else is not
We got Captain Phillips and we have Apollo thirteen and
(14:01):
you're like, oh my god, all this stuff and I'll
give you the answer now because you have the the
one we're missing is the other one was he was
nominated for Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood in twenty twenty
mister Rogers, which was not that you know, which was
the pandemic. It's like, oh wow, so that was the
one we missed. And I'm like, that was mors Gump,
(14:21):
Big Castaway, Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. What was the
other thirteen? Okay, so that but that was the one
that was the one. I'm like, he didn't get nominated
for this one and this one and this one is
but those are the two were I mean, he wasn't
the Captain. Now, no, what about Toy Story? It happened
not nominated for Toy Story. He was well, I mean
the movie was h him individually him being nominated. He
(14:45):
didn't that that's what it was, only sick. No, not
nominated for that of their own really not nominated for
so many things. I'm like he was that was TV show.
How about you got Mail? Dave Chappelle, he produced it,
not and you got mail? No sleeplessness. He was not
nominated for bachelor party or splash. No, no, those were
(15:05):
rat a snake in his boot and doesn't get it nominated.
I know you think about a snake and on the
edge with the virgin conn with one red shoe. That's
a good one. Jim belush red shoe. Yeah. The Burbs,
all the Burbs, exit Va Fresca, Exit Swollen Dome, The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend of my garments
(15:26):
a little bit fine. Right there, there's your trivia questions.
Take him and use him as you see fit. But
coming up next, the chances of Tom Brady coming back
to the NFL before today was at zero. Now they're
at least at fifty percent after what he said on
a podcast. Wait a minute, what yes, any named teams?
That's next right here, you'll hear it, Jason and Mike,
(15:47):
this is Fox. Really we don't get hula la. I
mentioned the faces might I don't get that again. And
how he only has one red shoe he does, that's
the whole point. They had to find a red shoe

And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, you blober list name in me. Well you know
what it's called over promise. You should be good at
it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we want
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also going to talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough and Rich, make sure you check
(17:01):
out over Promise and also uncensored by the way, so
maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's
gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.

There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to over Promised

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Best Cranberry song ever. Jason Fox Sports Radio. Hi, the
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Love from Thetirack dot
Com studios. We had the latest on Tom Brady coming
up in a couple of minutes. But this bit of
big news coming in Kentucky looks like they have zeroed
(17:45):
in on who is going to replace John Calipari. According
to Pete Thamil Jeff Borzello VESPN, they are nearing a
five year deal with former Kentucky player Mark Pope. It's
all right, who was head coach up until now of
byu Hey, he's a champion. In fact, if you go
to who says you Can't go home again? If you
(18:05):
go to his Twitter page, he's already the head coach
of Kentucky. Yes, when did he win in nineteen ninety six?
Who they beat? Syracuse? Right? So Mark Pope is now
gonna be Kentucky's new head coach. And you know, I
hate to say I told you so. I hate to
do it. I don't especially here because this is a
(18:26):
day in which we saw Scott Drew saying no, I'm
staying in Baylor instead, and then Kentucky reportedly reached out
Danny Hurley said no, how do you not reach out
to Danny Hurley first? I mean, come on, the guy
just won two back to back titles. He's like the
third guy you called. Are you sure they hadn't reached
out earlier? They just he talked about it. He talked
about it Monday to day after they won the title.
(18:49):
You called him the next day. They not get a
hold of his wife because he said to call the wife.
This whole coaching search was run so horribly by Kentucky. Canny.
I tell you I know I would run a better search.
First of all, you don't ask the guy that just
won back to back national titles, like the third guy
in line going, hey, do you want to come to Kentucky.
He's gonna tell you to take off. Of course that's
(19:10):
what Danny Hurley's but I think you got a list.
And you say, did anybody call him? It's like, well,
we just assumed he wasn't gonna come. He said he
wasn't coming. Well, you gotta at least call. We got
to close the loop. But if you're already being told
if you get if you get told no by Danny Hurley, Okay,
I get it. The guy just won two titles. He's
staying you can get told no by one guy. That's
the guy. Everybody else you look awful. And this was
(19:33):
an awful way to run it. And Mitch Barne, who's
the ad from Kentucky, completely butchered this from the beginning.
I know I could run a better way to go
because here's a deal with Cali Perry. You know that
if you are Kentucky, Kentucky Nation, they were ready to
have him go. We know this because when the story
broke Sunday night that he was talking to Arkansas, there
(19:54):
was no resistance. There was nothing from Kentucky saying hey,
well what we want to keep you. We think you're
our guy. We're gonna go forward. No, no, no, you
know they were ready to let him go. Well, we
had one writer that came up and said, well he
came back with a number, and they basically said, yeah,
go ahead, yeah let me then let me just say
this just before we get into it. Just understand, let
this sink in before I get in myy. I told
(20:15):
you so. Point. You didn't like Caliperry anymore, who won
a national title, has been to final fours and is
still winning in the sec. You don't like him, But
a guy who's a head coach who's never won an
NCAA tournament game is your guy. But he's their guy.
Think about that. Let that sing He's coming. Calip Perry's
(20:35):
not your guy. He's that song. But a guy who's
never won with the Jennifer Nettles and bon Jovi version,
Well you can either do that version or the no no,
that's that's that's overplayed now, the the Jennifer Nettles bon Jovi.
So remember, Cali not your guy. But again, a guy
that's never won an NCAA tournament game, as a coach,
(20:58):
he's your guy. He's never lost more than fifteen games
how season while at BYU. Look, this is how programs
go from elite to circling the drain. Not that Mark
Pope's not a good coach. He's a culture builder and
I'm sure he'll build a great culture of Kentucky. It's
what he's getting a lot of credit for at BYU.
But you're about final fours. I was told what was
going on now was not right? Was this was not good?
(21:21):
Two straight losses to a team that's a lower seed,
even though we're winning and still going far in the
tournament up until the last couple of years. And this
is the guy you wind up with. This is what
I meant when I said, if you're okay with saying
goodbye to John Caliperry, who's the guy coming in that's
gonna be better, who's going to continue to win in
the SEC and get you to final fours? Tell me
(21:42):
the guy that's out there and go get him if
he's there. And what happened. They couldn't. They couldn't. There
was nobody out there because the people said no. So
now they're stuck with Mark Pope, who well, he's a
guy that would say yes, because all the other all
the guys they wanted to, all said no. When you're
Kentucky and you are the number one school in the country,
when you let a guy go, you know who your
(22:04):
next guy is, right, you know who your next guy is?
Or hey, if it's one of two guys, all right,
if Danny Hurley says no, this is our guy. This
is how you conduct a search. How they did it
here was so ham handed, and it looked like they
were reactionary. They thought, anybody we want to will come coach,
and now none of them did. So this is how
you wind up with Mark Pope because you could Cali
(22:25):
Perry's not your guy, but no, we know somebody that's
gonna get us further. How do you think suddenly going
to a guy that's not done that is gonna get
you further. This is how programs go from hey, we're
every year, we're at the top of our conference, we're
a big tournament threat, to we're eighteen and fourteen and
we may be getting into the nit we're sixteen and thirteen.
(22:45):
This is how it happens to Kentucky. We've seen it
happen to Kentucky before. This is how it goes when
this is how you conduct your coaching search, This is
what you wind up happen. Not saying that Mark Pope
is definitely going to fail, but you really you're going
from Cali Parry to Mark Pope and thinking, Hey, our
program's head in the right direction. Are you kidding me? Well?
The curiosity I have is some of the statements made
from Calibery talking about NIL and the systems and structures
(23:09):
at Kentucky, talking about having to do a lot of
it himself. And it goes to something we talked about
the other day as this story started swirling, was well,
how much is you're going back to the well saying
we need to change how we do business and I
need you to commit to XYZ versus you just didn't
have the infrastructure right. It was one of my main
(23:30):
criticisms I think of your school and at my school
that in this new day and age where you've got
media types, actors, politicians, all these folks of great influence
and let's face it, some cash reserves, that the schools
were slow to adopt the new policies and procedures and
(23:50):
potential first mover advantages and maybe Kentucky the same way,
didn't activate the same way because Calibery had a fine
running engine right for all those years, and then the
rules of engagement change. So does Pope necessarily get the
same buy in or Zianna got to build that essentially
from scratch, because if you're to believe what Cali Ferry
said in his exit, there was nothing there. Yeah, so
(24:13):
he's starting from day one. Which if that's the case,
good luck. I mean, you're you're running from forty yards behind.
I warned you, I told you when you're gonna get
rid of it. Guy, make sure the guy coming in
and there was nobody out there. But still no, No,
we got to push on. We got to move on.
Telling you, man, so earlier today, I would have told you, well,
the odds of Tom Brady returning to the NFL this
(24:34):
season or zero, it's not gonna happen. He's done. Everything's
moving on. He's gonna be on with Fox. Yeah. But
then Brady goes on a podcast called The Deep Cut.
It's getting a haircut from a dude who asked him
a question about Hey, Tom, so if the team called
you at some point this season, would you come back.
I'm expecting Brady go, no, I'm done. It's been a while.
I'm retired. Yeah, yeah, no. But instead this was Tom
(24:57):
Brady's response one day. It is situation right, Maybe it's
the forty nine ers. Maybe you know, head to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Offense is great, Patriots, somebody, somebody Raiders, let be?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You never know, Scott forbid, somebody goes down. Would you
pick up that phone. I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
If they would, I don't know if they're gonna let
me if I become an owner in the NFL team, But.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I don't know. If I don't know, I'm always going
to be a good shape. I always be able to
throw the ball, so to come in for a little
bit like MJ coming back. I don't know if they
let me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it, all right,
I wouldn't be opposed to it. Now, the team that
was brought up before was a team like San Francisco. Yeah,
so San Francisco. He name drops New England, the Raiders.
(25:38):
First things first, his New England. Belichick's out there anymore.
I'm wrong. Com me, I'm ready to come back. Blank
you man, I'm coming home. I'm coming on there you go,
there's your song.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's interesting that he mentions Jordan, because clearly Brady's got
the same issue that Michael Jordan does. Great competitors sometimes
just happens to them. How do you find the satisfaction
retirement that you once got on the field of play?
And that was Jordan's whole thing. He retired, he unretired,
he retired, he unretired, he retired again. Right, couldn't find
(26:11):
that jolt that was going to sustain him once his
playing days were over. The competitiveness of Jordan, the legendary competitiveness,
try to do it as a front office member, as
an owner, just hasn't happened for him. Same thing with Brady.
Brady's retired, He's come back, he retired. Now he's talking
about coming back again. Because Brady should shut the door
(26:31):
if he's done. I'm done. But if a team called me,
I wouldn't be opposed to it. Except thirty two teams, okay,
thirty one teams. Now know, if we're in dire straits,
if we're a good team near the end of the season,
we have a quarterback injury. And let's face it, what
sixty two quarterbacks started last year, different quarterbacks. There's gonna
(26:52):
be team teams that are good playoff hunt, playoff teams
that are gonna need a quarterback because some he gets hurt.
And now they know I can go call Tom Brady.
The chances of him coming back to the NFL have
jumped from zero to at least fifty percent. And now
is he someone that's gonna play a whole season. No,
it doesn't seem like he's like that. He wants me
(27:13):
to the point where, hey, I'll play a little bit
now at the end when I can like the whole
eighteen game, the Riggers of the whole season. No, but
I know watching Joe Flacco come off his couch last
year and throw the Browns into the playoffs and play
pretty well, I can do that. But we saw that
with other quarterbacks, right, even a guy like Josh Dobbs
had a flash. Yeah for a couple of games. Yeah,
(27:34):
Brady's probably thinking, if that mother blanker can do it,
I can do it. Yeah. I could come off to sure,
you don't blank that guy. You're gonna go over. You're
gonna go with this mother blaker. So you know he
knows I can do it. And now it's okay. If
it happens, great, If it doesn't, it doesn't. But if
it could happen this year, could happen next year. I
can always throw the football. Look, he's someone that's always
(27:56):
I'm always gonna keep myself in shape. If you're a quarterback, kicker, punter,
you come off your couch and go contribute. Like I said,
we saw it all last year, Josh Dobbs went to
a new team, didn't know anybody's name, through the vikings
to a victory. Right Joe Flacco on his couch, didn't
play at all, no practice, no training, can, no nothing. Yeah,
I can still throw the ball and look at where
he is, look a where he would look how well
he played with that Cleveland Browns team. He's thinking I
(28:17):
can do that now. It's got to be a case
of playoff team, chance to play in January, because he's
not gonna come back and say, hey, maybe I'll throw
this team into the playoffs, because those are days that
probably are over for him. But hey, team coming back.
I can get we're a playoff team and I could
be playing in January. Oh yeah, someone's gonna call him.
Someone is going to call it space. Good offensive line
(28:39):
go step right. In back to back years we had
over sixty quarterback start and I guarant damn team. Part
of the genesis of that question is doing the research
for Fox and going through and doing rehearsal games and
snippets and react and tape watching, which we'd seen him
do a lot during the course of the last year
as well. Is you do that a bit more? You realize, Wait,
(29:02):
I'm still better than how how many guys would you
say the last time you saw Brady on the field?
Are truly better than that version that we saw of him?
Ten twelve maybe? And then guys on you know, one
random Sunday once a month. Otherwise the quarterbacking position drops
off precipitously pretty early. Now, how good would he be
(29:26):
if he did come back? I think the answer might
surprise you. Super Bowl, SUPERB Bowl. That's next right here,
Jason and Mike, this is Fox Sports Radio. I spent
twenty years trying to get the Mets to win a game.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
(29:48):
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with
My best Friend Mike Harmon live from the tirect dot
com studios, where a huge bombshell dropped today because really,
Tom Brady went from there's no chances coming back to
the NFL to at least fifty percent if someone calls
(30:12):
him'll return it straight out of wrestle Mania, I'm back.
He does the Deep Cut podcast today while getting a haircut.
I like what you called it, the Final Cut Pop Final.
They were listening to Roger Waters think about War again,
listens a final cut and we're gonna do is uh?
And he gives this answer when he is asked about
(30:32):
would he come back to play if a team called
him at some point this season one day? It is
a situation, right, Maybe it's the forty nine ers. Maybe
you know, headed to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Offense is great, Patriots, somebody, somebody raiders be you never.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Know, Scott forbid, somebody goes down. Would you pick up
that phone. I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
If they would, I don't know if they're gonna let
me if I become an owner in the NFL team, But.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
If I don't know, I'm always going to be a
good shape, always be able to the ball. So to
come in for a little bit like MJ coming back.
I don't know if they let me, but I wouldn't
be opposed to.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It unless it's the Jets blank them. Oh no, you kid.
I would have been fun if he'd said that, I
still have problems with Woody Johnson and I'm not following
that gay and and never the Jets, and never the Jets.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, if he was done, he would have said it.
He wants to keep that door open because he has
trouble with retiring still, right, we did not have people
talking about him right well, well if he were, if
he was done, he's doing games for Fox this fall,
and he's gonna want to. Look, there's no way he
wants to play a whole season. There's no way he doesn't.
He doesn't want to come and train. He's at the
(31:42):
point where Roger Clemens was late in his career, where
it was, Hey, I really want to play like a
third of the season. I want to come back sometime
in the summer, pitch in September and in the playoffs.
That's what I want to do. And the lucky few
are able to do that because you have that much
cashe and they know you can get it done. Now,
Brady will have been away from the NF for almost
two years if he does come back. But here's the thing.
(32:04):
If Brady comes back, he'd be fine. He would be
very much like Joe Flacco was last year with the Browns.
Maybe a little bit better touchdown interception ratio. Yeah, he's
not gonna turn the bay, certainly, he's not gonna turn
the ball over a lot. But when you're a quarterback
and certain positions, it's easier to come back and play
(32:25):
at a high level even if you haven't been doing
NFL training, especially Brady's been doing it for twenty two years.
Like if you were a defensive back or a wide receiver,
running back, there's being in shape and there's being an
NFL shape and it takes a while to get back
to it. But as we've seen quarterbacks, kickers, punters, hey,
they go from their couch onto the field very short
amount of time. They can do it. If Brady came back,
(32:47):
he would be a little bit better version of Flacco
because he was a better quarterback than Flacco. He is
a little bit older, but still he was playing at
a really high level even when he retired, and as
long as he's on a good team, which he would be.
He would hand pick his team with a great offensive line. Yeah,
I'll come back and play. He'll come back for the paint.
If the Patriots are good and suddenly things are great
(33:09):
and girod meyos back, Hey man, I'll come back and play.
But they have to be good and they have to
be going to the playoffs. They can't be a team that, hey,
if you come play for us, maybe will make the playoffs.
This has to be something that is late November Thanksgiving ish,
where hey, we're going to the playoffs. Even if you
take a couple of weeks to get back in shape
and we lose a couple of games, We're still going
(33:30):
to the postseason. And he would do that in a second,
and he would be just fine. I'd want him if
something happened to Aaron Rodgers again, Hey go get Tom Brady.
Go get Tom Brady. Why not? I know he's been
better than saying, well, let's turn to a guy who's
third string, never gotten it done, No, one hundred percent.
I am all for getting Tom Brady. Caleb's no good
and the Bears are in the playoff mix, he can
go learn behind the master Tom Brady bears, how about that?
(33:54):
And I think sy I just twist turn this whole
thing out of tad.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
But and that's the thing. I don't think there's any
team he would say no to, as long as they
are a Super Bowl threat. But there's no team he
would say no to. Legitimately. If you go back and
you if you're Tom Brady and you're watching this and
you're prep for Fox, and just because you're a football junkie,
how many quarterbacks could you really And this is him
being honest with himself, would he put up on the
(34:19):
whiteboard that he knows are better than he is right now?
He would probably if if in Okay, in his reality,
he would probably say there's two or three guys, but
in actual reality, there's probably ten to twelve. Say it's ten.
That's still two thirds of the league you're better at.
Oh yeah, well, well look take the Browns for example, Like, okay,
(34:40):
he's coming in better than anybody the Browns had last
year after they went from Watsdy went. I think Brian
Site played a few downs last year. Four guys etr
and everybody else. I mean, you're talking about each year
over sixty quarterbacks wind up starting in the NFL because
people get hurt. There will be at least one or
two teams in that situation down the stretch. But that's
the key, is that they have to be Super Bowl threats. Cowboys, Cowboys.
(35:03):
He would come easily. He come back up by, you kidding,
easily come back by for the cob as long as
and here's the only caveat hey, is this an offensive
line that's gonna keep me upright? As long as the
offensive line is intact and it's good and I can
stay upright and make throws, great, I'll do it. But
is he gonna come back for a team like, let's
just say it's the Ravens and Lamar Jackson's heard a
couple injured on the offensive line, Hey, Lamar Jackson would
(35:24):
run out of trouble a lot of design runs Like,
is that an offense he would go back into? Is
that made? Even if the Ravens are thirteen and two
at some point? Yeah? I don't know. So it's got
to be the right situation. There's gonna be that situation.
And as long as he can say in the pocket
and throw, yeah, one hundred percent man. NFL drafts two
weeks from tonight and we've got Brady talk. Come on,
let's go. How great is this? Yeah, like I said, Jets,
(35:46):
anybody I avoided mostly for four hours, Nickson Mets taught.
Oh job, Frostburg. It's been a good job, T Shirt.
It's been a big night for both. Way to go, squad.
I mean the Mets had that huge win over the
one series against the break. He's in the Knicks. Look
at the Knicks man blowing the crap out of the Celtics.
We're going thir thirteen games ahead of everybody. Doesn't literally care.
(36:08):
They've lost three games at home all year. Make it
four now? Nicks up, Nicks, Nicks, Knicks, Knicks, Knicks, Nicks,
Knick Knicks, Nicks. Go New York, Go New York, Go,
go New York, Go New York. You gonna go watch
the Shwimmer bio thing off the OJ Triller. What, No,
I'm not gonna go back and watch that again. Oh
you've actually watched the whole Watch it again. I watched
(36:29):
when it came out. It's pretty cool. Okay, I don't
need to see it again. Done with just like wonder
what just like remember when you asked about Wonder Woman too,
what'd you think? And I said, I don't think i'll
see it again. It's kind of I saw one about
that myself. Yeah, okay, we said, I don't think i'll
watch you j Jo Pascal, I was out. I think
that's the only time exit up about a Fresco exit
