(00:50):
buying should be. Well, before we get to this big
football story, I really, I really need to apologize because
I feel really bad about this because I think this
is all my fault. At the All Star break last week,
I said, you know you want a surprise division winner. Yeah,
who's gonna No one's talking about that's going to win
(01:12):
the division in baseball, And I gave you the Boston
Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yes you did. I gave you the Royals, but you went.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I gave you the Red Sox. Royals are winning games.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The Yankees and Orioles are doing exactly what I thought
they were.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
They're floundering, struggling.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I mean, they're doing there exactly what I thought.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The Rorioles are losing to the Marlin.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, except except for except for one thing. It's only
one thing wrong with me making that bull prediction. Only
one thing wrong. Only one thing wrong. Yeah, one thing
wrong with that, and that's that. The Red Sox stink. Now,
they stink. They lost four straight out of the break,
getting swept by the Dodgers, and they gave up twenty
tonight to the Rockies in the loss, like all.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's what does happened to the Roogie? It's all my fault, man,
It's my fault. They lost four in a row. Hey,
they finally win a game and then they give up
twenty to the rock I mean, you give up twenty
to the Rockies. Man, This is not what I had
in mind.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Dude, twenty to the Rockies.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, yeah, dude, it's tough, man. I mean, I don't
I don't know. I don't know, did have the Rockies
had more twenty point games than the Broncos did under
Russell Wilson. I mean, come on, they had one twenty
run game tonight. I mean that many games the Broncos
had more than twenty when Russell Wilson played quarterback.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh Man's good question. Well it's kind of a big
deal though.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I mean, I guess they were celebrating old Belton Todd
Helton's in the Hall of Fame induction speech. You know what,
We're gonna put up runs like we did when Elis.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Burke, Boy, Ellis Burks.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And Dante Bichett.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Not boo sure, shote Bichette, Ellis Burks, Yeah, Castilla sure sure,
going on the line, God help me.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, we're putting up.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Runs the old Rockies. Let's scoring all kinds of runs
out in twenty. But it's my fault, hey fault. Congratulations
to the Rockies, by the way, thank me. It's because
I was the one that gave you that by cursing
the Red Sox the way. That's my fault. That's my fault. Look,
it's my fault. I completely tell you that. It's my fault.
It is. It absolutely is. And I feel bad because
I like that prediction. I like the fact that the
(03:25):
Yankees and the Ool doing exactly what I said. They
are just falling on hard Well, they're not fun. The
Orioles are falling on hard times. The Yankees have fallen
through the roof of a house and the floor and
are continuing to fall through space. They're like Loki in
the Avengers. I've been falling for thirteen minutes, like the
Yankees have been falling for a long time.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But just the Red Sox, it's just getting pasted every
single day.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I think the best move they can do now is
someone leads the uh the clubhouse by just reciting the
dusty roads of hard time speech. Hard Time Daddy is
when the auto worker struggling to put food on the
table for his kids a hard times when they closed
(04:10):
the mill hard times.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
We'll have more baseball coming up in a few minutes,
but uh, there is no better, more stranger, weird headline
today than what we saw coming out of Big ten
media days. Now you say big ten media days, Remember
you had all kinds of new teams in the Big ten.
Now Washington's there, USC is there and today. Unfortunately for them,
(04:39):
UCLA is there. It was the Big Ten media day
where the coaches get introduced in a big empty stadium
and come up and talk and answer questions. That's how
they're doing it. And UCLA head coach to Sean Foster,
yes that to Shaun Foster, people are just understanding now.
Oh hey, to Sean Foster's the head coach is like, yes,
he is well and if you didn't know it before today,
(04:59):
you sure as he'll know it now. He goes up
to talk about the UCLA football team for just like
you know, however long a minute or so, and then
you're taking questions. Right, It's it's pretty easy. Give an
opening statement about UCLA. Talk for about forty five seconds,
say why you're excited, mention a couple of players, and
(05:21):
then everybody's gonna ask you questions. Okay then except uh,
Deshaun Foster really failed that well basically all of it. Here.
He is comes up to the to the podium, starts
talking about UCLA and talking about how glad he is
that UCLA is in the Big Ten.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Ucla and the Big Ten where a school that's won
what one hundred and twenty three championships. So this fits
us being right in this conference football wise, which is excited?
You know, I'm sure you guys don't know too much
about UCLA, but our football program around but we're in LA.
(06:07):
It's US in USC.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Oh boy if we I'm just basically excited. Really, that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So, you know, talking, he's had all off season to
get ready for the year and get excited, know the players.
What can he say and what does he come up with? Hey? Uh,
both US and USC are in Los Angeles?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, no, that's good.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, everybody, everybody get that. Everybody understand that. That's what
I'm coming about. In fact, I can't even tell you
about UCLA for more than twenty seconds before I mentioned USC,
like I gotta mention, I mentioned our crosstown right. Hey,
you know they're from l A too. Don't know if you
know that or not. Like like the best thing that
I can come up with, Mike, honestly, I mean, look,
and this is just such an epic fail. And I
(07:02):
think they're gonna go one and eleven now because I
don't know how you come back.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You're together, your head coach.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Could I could go talk about usul A football better
for a minute without mentioning any players. I could do this.
We're happy to be in the Conference of Champions. This
is gonna be an unbelievable thing for us. We're excited
to come to all these different stadiums. We're excited to
see you guys. Come to LA and I come to
the campus. Come to Diddy Reese. You get the greatest
(07:29):
ice cream sandwiches known to mankind for like two dollars.
They're unbelievable. I just went the other day, and because
I did just go the other day, Oh, there's gonna
be you know, parking is better than it's been, than
what you've heard. It's gonna I mean, I could have
done better. The best thing I can tell you is
that he maybe expected a laugh when he said, you know, hey,
I understand that certain conference fan bases don't know much
(07:51):
about outside of their conference, but wow, really he expected
a laugh after we're from LA and he didn't get it,
and he went into pure panic mode. I mean, the
only other team he knew was USC USC Pepperdine is here.
They play up the coast a little bit. We got
U see Santa Cruz that's a little bit north. We
got Irvine we got the hand eaters. They're a little
(08:12):
bit more down south. I mean, he could have said anything,
but I feel like maybe he wanted, he was looking
or expected people to love at least a little bit,
and when nobody did, he did the whole Hey, who's
from out of town? Anybody here from out of town?
Who's from out of town? Anybody out of town? Hey,
anybody from the He's got aybody from Brooklyn. Hey, here's
my Brooklyn impression, like a he's a comic that just Hey,

I didn't think I was gonna get no lafts there,
so now I'm panicking.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
How many air here on a first date tonight?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's just that freeze moment and the pause are you're
just like really really like. He had a great opening
line talking about championships, the expectation that we're coming from
one of the great conferences in college athletics and sports overall.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I mean, I just bought you thirty seconds right there.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You don't need any more.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
You don't even have to do in any.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Of the mess city of your get and again, you know,
Fendley brings it up and I alluded to it before
we write. You had a departure of an information director.
Whatever doesn't matter, Like this didn't get sprung on you. Hey,
keep your calendar clear for next Wednesday. But no, no,
this is what we were ready to go to Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But this wasn't a twenty minute press conference where hey,
we're missing our sid we're missing this was Can you
just talk about the foot for forty five second?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
The side is important to you and the the handlers,
for lack of a better term, if there's breaking news,
something happened in the conference, in the team, with one
of your players, one of your coaches, whatever, that you
have to address spur of the moment. Everybody's scrambling to
get in front of you outside of your offices or
(09:59):
practice facility. This is you took the job. What was
the day he got hired?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You had months? You know these things exist?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Or did they hide it from him because they knew
this was possibly gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know what, if we don't.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Psych him out by talking about these events, he'll just
be able to go out there and wing it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. How bad
can it be? Guys?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He was excited, He was very excited, so excited, I
can't tell you anything more than we're in LA and
so is USA.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Even if he just went full Dion route and just
said we're coming for you, Dion would have then filled
the air for another forty five minutes about his kids
and Travis Hunter. But you at least have you know,
the one line just saying, hey, we're ready for the
competition of the Big Ten. We look forward to, you know,
our first year in the conference. I mean, that's it, right,
(10:48):
I mean there were some jokes about nil and whatever.
Once he sat down and he was more comfortable at
the table. But here was your big moment. If nothing else,
break out, you know, into a Freddie Mercury call in response,
get the crowd on your side.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Come on, what is that the note that lived forever?
What do they call that? The note that lived forever?
This is like, that's like asking me to say, hey, Jason,
can you go up and talk about the Mets?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, and me going, so the Mets. We uh we're
in New York. Uh so are the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
A little more successful than us? But we're there too, and.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Uh, I'm just uh, I'm just excited. Can you talk
about Lindor a lot of I don't know. I just
say we're from New York.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'll be excited. Well, on God Green Earth would ask
you to talk about the Mets. Many people Mary if
for your information, many people name them. There are bosses
here at Fox Sports Radio. They call me every day
and say, make sure you talk about the Mets tonight
because I love it. So okay, you think I talk
about the Mets because I want to Come on, I
get it. I get I get I get all kinds
(11:57):
of enochts from above saying this we better talk about tonight.
So I want to keep my job.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Come on, that was over a minute. Did you catch that?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Didn't have to pause, didn't have to tap dance, went
for a minute.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
On out and out live? Get it? But on some level, though, man,
and it is true.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I mean what we're trying to do here, it's entertain
and rage and gauge and inform. We want you to
either love us or hate us. If you just go eh,
I mean that we haven't done our job. So leaning
into the teams that we love or for me sometimes
the teams I loathe are going to be great business
for us.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
For this unites the.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
World and our Twitter audience at how about a forresca
at Swollen Dome against Jason because he loves the Mets.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. Look, look, mostly my teams exist, so you can
feel better about your teams because my teams are terrible.
But hey, once in a while, the sun shines a
little bit, and the sun has shining tremendously tonight because
we just swept the air. The Yankees have the second
worst record in baseball since they US two and a
half weeks ago. The worst record is, of course, the
White Sox. The Mets have the best record in baseball
(13:05):
since we started playing the Yankees. I wish we could
play the Yankees every bleeping day, man, I wish we
could face Garrett Cole every day. Yes, this is my moment,
and I'm feeling it. I got lightning in my hands,
like I'm the Emperor.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I limited power.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You know, we're from LA like USC. Boy, how good
is USC gonna be this year? You know, Lincoln Riley
does a great job with that team over there in
the US.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
He could have just channeled the Road Warriors from back
in the day, one of the great taglines.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know, We're from Chicago and we like to hurt people,
and then they just walk off that.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I mean they were supposed to do a full interview
and then Elt Paul Ellering ended up doing.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The whole bit same thing. Here.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
We're from LA. We're here to cause destruction in the
Big ten. Throw the microphone down and walk off UCLA.

To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast

in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy will be over promising things we never
have time for. Yeah, you blober listen, Jam and 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
(14:57):

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Hey buddy, we got people taking umbrage with your your
hatred on Deshaun Foster there.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh really, what do you mean, umbradge? Well, not Michault.
The guy couldn't talk for twenty seconds about UCLA.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Josh, Hey, Dan Campbell butchered his opening press conference. How's
he doing? Yeah, all, Jason was saying that he's not Campbell,
he's not Sirianni, he's not well even your taco guy
from back in the day. All you're saying is they
were already facing it uphill battle going to the Big Ten.
This just makes him a little more secure.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Mike, he was excited.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
He was he was an excited non utterance.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Look, look, I'll be honest with you. USC and UCLA
are both gonna get drubbed in the Big Ten. They're
gonna get absolutely drubbed, Ucla more so, and mainly because look,
the Big Ten. You know, one of the big things
I'm sure part of the negotiation with USC and UCLA
joining was, Hey, we want our big teams to have
(16:34):
games in LA every year, and they want to be
able to recruit more in Los Angeles and in the
football rich area. So USC and UCLA are not every
year gonna avoid Hey, we're not playing Michigan, Ohio State,
and Penn Say no, no, You're gonna play all of
them because every other year they're gonna want a game
in Los Angeles so they can play you guys, and look,
you've seen that UCLA is not the program it was.
(16:57):
The Big ten in the SEC are the two giants
in college football, and USC is not nearly the team
they were. Lincoln Riley has struggled, So yeah, they're gonna
get drubbed. It's gonna be a welcome to the machine
moment for them this year. Try trying to get to
k The only look, the only way I see them
winning upset games, both USC and UCLA is that sometime
(17:20):
because you look, the planet's getting hotter, and it's really
really hot in La all the way to to UH.
When you get all the way through till till UH
thank Thanksgiving till Halloween.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Is the lava streams are ready to flow.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
If you get one of those games where a big
team is playing at the Rose Bowl at the Coliseum
in one hundred and five degree heat and they're not
ready to handle it, and USULA and USC are a
little bit better off in late September early October because
they can handle it. Then I can see an upset
going because boy, the weather is something that is going
(17:54):
to really shock a shocked teams. Potentially if you're not
ready for it. But outside of that, you're gonna get killed. Man,
you're gonna get killed. Every time. I'm gonna see U
c l A in the in the powder blues with
the white turtlenecks. That's a loss. Anytime you see a
U c l A team and turtle next, they're going
to lose, right us see the same thing they're going
to They're gonna get drubbed in the Big Ten this
(18:14):
year and then in the next few years as well.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
There you go, asked and answered.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I mean, I wish it was different, but it's not.
But that's just how it's gonna go. They're gonna get
a lot of money, they're gonna get paid. It's gonna be.
It's gonna it's great for them. They're there, they've secured
their future. But yeah, that's gonna come with l's on
the football field.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
This the entire time you were doing uh that little
uh soliloquy, I pictured you as Kevin Bacon and a
few good men.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Okay, can't help you down, Danny. Your boys are going down,
going down.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Can't help that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Now, that's kind of where you were going.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, you may not have recognized it consciously, but that's
where you were.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Hell, I dared you myself to get in that courtroom. Danny,
you got into the court with the memory of a
dead lawyer. Uh so, well.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's gonna have our lousysopomare Yeah.

(19:30):
When you hit home runs in bunches like this guy,
when you've been one of the top three players in
all of baseball for the last two months, Francisco Lindor,
you get to be the Express pros Pro of the Week.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
First pitch to Lindor, Sw're gonna drive deep to right
down the line. There Sigos homeron Francisco Lindor into.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
The second deck in right field.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
A scorcher come in, Sarah, leading by a score of
five to two.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
You tell him how Mets Radio network on the call. Look,
it's I wish that Lindor would just have a better
start to a season once with the Mets. Maybe then
he'd make an All Star team or something. But for
the last two months, ever since he got moved to
the leadoff spot in the batting mortar, he has been lights.
I mean, I think he's got the second best war
in all of baseball the last two and a half months.
(20:19):
I mean behind Aaron Judge obviously, but I think he's
got the second best in all of baseball the last
two months. He has been one of the top two
or three players in the game. Since the middle of May.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, I think he's He reminds me a lot, remember
back when he could hit Jose Abrah former White Sox,
great last scene trying to flail about, and for the
Houston Astros, he was the same way for like a
month or two, and you'd be like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
And then it would hit June, it'd warm up in.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Chicago and boom, all of a sudden, the ball's flying
out of the yard and he's making runs towards MVP
with Lindor May. It all turned around when he called
for that team meeting, right, I mean, it was just
a struggle. You had jumped off saying it couldn't even
get me halfway to the Jets season.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
No, the season.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Come yeah you quit. You were like, this is done.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Now all of a sudden, you're texting your dad and
Fabiano and and trying to cause mischief.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
All over the place.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, I can't even walk to my car with you.
You got so many people that you've been, uh, you know,
doing a flame war with here.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
On the Mets Yankees stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
So but yeah, Lindor suddenly a much different guy, crazy continuity,
and and we look at the trade deadline next week,
a week from today, Jason, all of a sudden, it's
a it's a much different world than.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
We lived in a second.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, buddy, I sent my dad four brooms tonight to
signify that the four games that the Mets beat the
Yankees this year. Not heard back? Not heard back.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You never used a broom in your life?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
No, no, no, not heard back. But now now that
he he's away, you're out of the will. Now that
he's I don't want to be in the will now
that now that he's away, and I know, right right
before he comes back, I can bring the brooms to
to his uh, to his apartment, and I can put
him right in front of the door. Now, that would
be pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, although I'll do that and then someone's gonna call
and say, hey, Walt, there's a lot of brooms in
front of your door. You want to know why. You
can tell me why that happened.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
They in a box, like you just can't leave the brooms. Now,
it's gotta be uh you know, candy man?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Do I gotta wrap it so it's in the shape
of a broom. You can tell what it is like
you like, you're out of Harry Potter.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
What do you think you got? It's a freakin' broom?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
What do you think it's a firebolt?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I mean, who who in Walt's life? Oh, that would
be the best print. Yes, that would be to get
all excitable about it. I said that those are really
good brooms. He sent to you the best shows. He
really cared about this.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Here Dad, congratulations on that sweep. So today we finally
got the Egypt story from Aaron Rodgers Right to the podcast.
Talked to Pro Football Podcasts Pro Football Talk commenter and
talked about going to Egypt and missing the last two
(23:17):
days of the Jets oh, the two days of jets
mini camp and look, I'll be Look, I'll give you
this straight this straight talk on Aaron Rodgers. As I said,
I'm buoyed by the fact that even though we probably
shouldn't have gone to Egypt, if he really thought he
was gonna have a bad year or he was behind,
(23:37):
he would have stayed. He would have stayed because he
knows he's staring at the end of his career if
he has a bad year. So the fact that he
felt confident enough to say, hey, I was at all
the OTAs and I'm leaving these couple of days and
go to Egypt because it's a trip I booked a
long time ago. Hey, I feel good that he's confident
enough saying I got this. I'm gonna be fine. But look,
(23:58):
it's a horrible optic. It's terrible, especially when he goes
on the record and says, we have to treat winning seriously,
we have to change the vibe around here. Okay, you're
the leader, and oh yeah, hey, guess what when Mini
cam comes, I'm not gonna be here because I booked
a trip to Egypt, because you know, these trips are
like fifteen twenty thousand dollars and Aaron Rodgers, who only
made fifty million dollars last year. I can't reschedule that.
(24:20):
I mean, that's just stupid.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
If I'm going through Costco to book a trip somewhere
and they say, hey, I got a reschedule, that's a
thing for me, man, Okay, well it's money. But for Aaron, yeah,
you could have rescheduled. You could have done it. The
thing about Aaron Rodgers, and this is what it boils down.
Do you talk about the craziness and everything he has
about himself and the conspiracy theories and all of this,
but this is the truth about Aaron Rodgers, and this
(24:42):
is a I cross my fingers. I hope he's going
to be great. His teammates like him. It feels like
he's going to be great. But he is someone who
throughout his career has always done whatever he wanted to sure,
and seventy five eighty percent of the time it's worked
out for him. Twenty percent of the time, it's stuff
like this where it's dude, you should have been there.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Luckily, his teammates are saying, hey, he was there with
us the entire time in OTAs he booked this trip.
That's great. And look, I think there's an understanding from
the Jets where it's like, hey, we're gonna either go
to the super Bowl or not because of him. Right,
he's been in the league a long time. He's going
to the Hall of Fame. What am I gonna do?
I'm really gonna call out a Hall of Fame quarterback.
So it seems like the dynamic is fine. Look, but
(25:25):
that's who Rogers is. When you understand that about Rogers,
everything else falls into place. Why am I doing podcasts
to talk about crazy conspiracy theories? Because I want to
do You think it's a good idea, and you think
that helps I don't care. I want to do it.
Do you think it's a good idea for you to
go to Egypt to not reschedule where he could leave
three days later?
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Because I had this all going on, I want to
do it. He has always done whatever he wants to,
and we all know people in life that do whatever
they want to. You can say, hey, what do you
think about this?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, yeah, but I'm gonna go do this anyway. Why Yeah,
because I want to do it. Do you think about
how you affect other people now, not really, I want
to go do this. Everything is fine. I talk to
the team, the guys know I'm leaving. Everything is good.
It's all good. But that's who Rogers is. And for
the most part, when you're a person with that kind
of self confidence that I always do what I want
(26:13):
to works out for you. We see captains of industry
bosses and have that kind of confidence. It works out.
But at the same time, it's okay. When you always
do whatever you want, there's gonna be some times where
you really piss people off. And he's lucky. He's lucky
that this time he pissed people off. It was the media,
and it was people who want to call him out
because they don't like him, because he's very divisive already.
(26:35):
There's lots of things he said. I can't believe he
said that. I hate he said. But everybody is ready
to just jump up and down on him. So this
he's lucky that this controversy with me doing whatever I
want to is gonna wind up blowing over. No one's
gonna sit back and say if the Jets lose Week
one and Rogers goes fourteen for thirty one for a
(26:55):
touchdown and three picks. No one's gonna say, oh, you
should have come to those two days of mini camp. No,
it's gonna be Oh, it's Rogers do so it's it's
one of those things where Rogers got lucky and the
Jets got lucky. But don't forget it, right, It's like
you can forgive, but don't forget. We forgive. He's paying
the fine, he said, it's it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I'm talking with Robert Sala. Everything is great. Yes, I'm
paying the fine. The Jets fine it, I understood it.
You forgive, but you don't forget. So so this is where, okay,
I get it. And and this is gonna go away
really fast because training camp is here and Roger's here,
and this goes. But don't but don't forget, because there's
times when he does whatever the hell he wants to
and it winds up looking really, really bad. That's the
(27:37):
big takeaway for me from everything that went on with Rogers,
this trip to Egypt and leaving the Jets when he
could have stayed.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I think it comes down to this.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
His teammates are smarter than his coach, and they watched
him get raked over the coals for you know, the
fining and unexcused absence and whatever else. And if they
were mad, well, that'll come out in the wash at
some point and you'll he or some tales from the
locker room of hey, we were still sweating our asses
(28:05):
off and busting our butts while he was off on vacation.
I'm sure there was some of that, you know, whether
they downplay it today or not, but the reality is,
you're not going anywhere unless this guy plays well. Salas
should know this. Hackett doesn't have a job without it,
so he knows it and just go on down the
line to a man, all their hopes of this being
(28:28):
a successful season and then putting up the stats that
get them the next you know, blank you money deal.
Because that's where we're at here, right. You talk about
captain of industry, you talk about these different things. Aaron
Rodgers is at the point, and he did this all
the way through, but certainly in Bolden the last couple
of years, because he probably met with a financial advisor
going how many lifetimes have a m I set for?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
All? Right?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Now I can say whatever the hell I want, let's go,
And that's when you know the chaos, you know, starts
the threats of retirement and walking away and everything that
went on where he basically channeled his predecessor in Green
Bay did some of the same tactics, which no doubts
still enraged people, but they've all been pretty good about
keeping their mouths shut. Once he retires, maybe all the
(29:14):
stories start flying. But for this Jets season, I think,
to a man, they just realize there's no win if
they actually say damn it. Everybody recognizes special rules for
special talent, special players. That's in every walk of life,
no matter where you are, who you are, however you're
listening here on the iHeartRadio app or all of our
(29:36):
cities nationwide, all our affiliates, you recognize it in whatever
line of work that you do. That there are just
some different rules. Aaron Rodgers is saying, I have different rules,
and even if not, I'm gonna go outside them anyway,
because what the hell are they gonna do to me?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Exit out bouta fresca. It's swallen down The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. Coming up next,
the biggest battle in sports was joined today. We'll tell
you how it's gonna end. Coming up next, Jason to
Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon Live from thee Tirac dot Com studios. Were
a big story broke today and then the battle was joined.
Luckily we can tell you how it's gonna end. For
the last few weeks, we have been under the impression
(30:39):
with NBA rights deals coming up, the NBA was gonna
leave TNT. This will be the last year coming up
of NBA games on TNT, likely the last year of
the inside the NBA on TNT with everybody, and it
was gonna be sad. This is because they were likely
going to be shut out of the bidding because Amazon
(31:01):
was going to jump in with a bigger bid that
TNT couldn't match. And before the events of the last
couple of weeks, we thought, well, TNT is not really
going to get involved because well, the head of programming said,
we don't need the NBA to be successful. Wow, talk
about the worst things to say. We don't need the NBA.
When the rights package was awarded a few days ago.
(31:26):
The smaller package that the NBA on TNT went to
was awarded to Amazon with one point eight billion dollars
a year for the eleven year deal. TNT had time
to match that, and they did, oh, wait a minute,
we're gonna get the NBA and TNT no, not so fast.
The NBA has said, well, technically, TNT did not match
(31:50):
the bidding for Amazon, so we're going to bring the
NBA to Amazon after this year. And now TNT is
struck back with we absolutely met the ramifications, we met
the threshold. We are now taking this to court. Great, Now,
it's messy. Look i'll tell you how this is gonna end.
And it's valiant by TNT to try to save face
(32:13):
after the We don't need the NBA to be successful,
but the NBA is going to Amazon, right Adam silver
is by making this decision by saying, hey, that's great,
thanks TNT, We're going to Amazon.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Look.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
TNT has been a great partner for the NBA for
the last twenty five years, but you can see they're
scraping nickels together to get that bid up to try
to keep it. Maybe it was a face saving bid.
Maybe it's a way to try to get a little
bit of cash influx to TNT. But there's a past
and there's a future, and the NBA and on TNT
is the past twenty five plus years. The future is streaming.
(32:47):
We told you all the league rights are going to
streaming sometime in the next ten years. And I love that.
Some crazy pundit said today, you know, all the streaming
rights gonna wind up going to All the rights gonna
go to streaming in sports the next few years. Yeah,
we told you this a year ago. This was gonna happen, right,
But hey, information is free and I can't control, and
people pay attention to stuff. But we know that this
(33:08):
is how it's gonna go, and this is the future
of sports. No one goes back. The NBA knows the
future is streaming. Amazon's a huge partner. They're not going anywhere.
Of all the streaming sites, we think, ah, they're gonna
be around. What's gonna happen? We know Netflix and Amazon
they're gonna be around for a long time. They have
the money. They outbid everybody for this package. The NBA
(33:29):
is gonna go to Amazon. When it's all said and done, again,
there's gonna be a lot of history onics and great
back and forth. But the NBA has already said we
want to go to Amazon. That's the future. They're going
to Amazon.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Yeah, they'll figure out the money by which to get
everybody to play nice sandbox and those that are ringing
their hands over inside the NBA and all of that.
I am fully confident that that finds new life. You know,
where there's money, there's a way brand loyalty, because we
see how many broadcasts can work for multiple operations along
(34:02):
the way, there's ways to carve it out and make
it work if you go to Amazon. I had to
order some things for the kids a little bit earlier
during the break, and there was already a NBA is
coming on near Amazon Prime, so you got that gone. Look,
the big thing for me is that the play becomes.
As much as you can say we match dollars and cents,
(34:25):
they're never going to be the same proposals because you
have Warner Brothers, Discovery and whatever the business becomes. And
there's a lot of stories starting to circulate tonight as
to how they're doing everything they can to try to
prop up their stock price. You know, will we split
companies here to where it becomes its own entity. So
we're only reporting on this side, which is more profitable,
(34:47):
and you can go down that that highway. However you
need to. You saw Major League Baseball today, right, MLB network.
You don't need to subscribe to cable or any of
the larger packages YouTube, TV or a anything else. Six
to ninety nine a month now for at bat and
for MLB networks starting today. So you're trying to piece
(35:08):
meal it together and decide whether it's more cost efficient
household a household. But for the NBA, as I'm saying,
it's it's not the same. It's apples and oranges, global
brand and reach, talking two hundred million plus subscribers. When
you get to Amazon Prime and growing right, two million
(35:28):
strong and growing like the old vitamin adds. And then
they have the the cable side where TNT reaches fewer
and fewer homes every year. So the growth and what's
carved out in the proposals are going to be much different.
Even if the dollars are being matched. Oh yeah, we'll
match that. That takes one flick of a pen or
(35:49):
a click of a mouse. So now it becomes Warner
Brothers Discovery, how much will you pay us to go
away so we don't.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Have to litigate this? And you know, and the funny
thing is, yes, is it about the money? Of course
it is. And could Amazon has said, boy, maybe we
should have been a little bit more money, we could
have put this to bed. But honestly, it's for me,
it's more about this is gonna be an eleven year deal,
and the NBA has to sit back and say, Okay,
in eleven years, do we want to still be on
(36:16):
cable television or do we want to be on Are
we sure that cable tv is still gonna be what
not even eleven in five years?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Right?
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Where can versus where we are If this is a yeah,
if this is a p seventy six billion, look if
this is a two or three year deal, maybe it's different.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
But it's like, hey, we're doing this next ten eleven years. Yeah,
Cable's not where we're gonna put a ten year commitment
right now. I'd rather do it to streaming because that's
where it's gonna go. Look, it's it'll be It's like
it's valiant for TNT to do this, but in the end,
it's gonna be Amazon. That's just the way of the world.
That's how it goes exit. How about a Fresco exit?

football story, I really, I really need to apologize because
I feel really bad about this because I think this
is all my fault. At the All Star break last week,
I said, you know you want a surprise division winner. Yeah,
who's gonna No one's talking about that's going to win
(01:12):
the division in baseball, And I gave you the Boston
Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yes you did. I gave you the Royals, but you went.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I gave you the Red Sox. Royals are winning games.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The Yankees and Orioles are doing exactly what I thought
they were.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
They're floundering, struggling.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I mean, they're doing there exactly what I thought.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The Rorioles are losing to the Marlin.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, except except for except for one thing. It's only
one thing wrong with me making that bull prediction. Only
one thing wrong. Only one thing wrong. Yeah, one thing
wrong with that, and that's that. The Red Sox stink. Now,
they stink. They lost four straight out of the break,
getting swept by the Dodgers, and they gave up twenty
tonight to the Rockies in the loss, like all.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's what does happened to the Roogie? It's all my fault, man,
It's my fault. They lost four in a row. Hey,
they finally win a game and then they give up
twenty to the rock I mean, you give up twenty
to the Rockies. Man, This is not what I had
in mind.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Dude, twenty to the Rockies.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, yeah, dude, it's tough, man. I mean, I don't
I don't know. I don't know, did have the Rockies
had more twenty point games than the Broncos did under
Russell Wilson. I mean, come on, they had one twenty
run game tonight. I mean that many games the Broncos
had more than twenty when Russell Wilson played quarterback.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh Man's good question. Well it's kind of a big
deal though.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I mean, I guess they were celebrating old Belton Todd
Helton's in the Hall of Fame induction speech. You know what,
We're gonna put up runs like we did when Elis.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Burke, Boy, Ellis Burks.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And Dante Bichett.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Not boo sure, shote Bichette, Ellis Burks, Yeah, Castilla sure sure,
going on the line, God help me.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, we're putting up.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Runs the old Rockies. Let's scoring all kinds of runs
out in twenty. But it's my fault, hey fault. Congratulations
to the Rockies, by the way, thank me. It's because
I was the one that gave you that by cursing
the Red Sox the way. That's my fault. That's my fault. Look,
it's my fault. I completely tell you that. It's my fault.
It is. It absolutely is. And I feel bad because
I like that prediction. I like the fact that the
(03:25):
Yankees and the Ool doing exactly what I said. They
are just falling on hard Well, they're not fun. The
Orioles are falling on hard times. The Yankees have fallen
through the roof of a house and the floor and
are continuing to fall through space. They're like Loki in
the Avengers. I've been falling for thirteen minutes, like the
Yankees have been falling for a long time.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But just the Red Sox, it's just getting pasted every
single day.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I think the best move they can do now is
someone leads the uh the clubhouse by just reciting the
dusty roads of hard time speech. Hard Time Daddy is
when the auto worker struggling to put food on the
table for his kids a hard times when they closed
(04:10):
the mill hard times.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
We'll have more baseball coming up in a few minutes,
but uh, there is no better, more stranger, weird headline
today than what we saw coming out of Big ten
media days. Now you say big ten media days, Remember
you had all kinds of new teams in the Big ten.
Now Washington's there, USC is there and today. Unfortunately for them,
(04:39):
UCLA is there. It was the Big Ten media day
where the coaches get introduced in a big empty stadium
and come up and talk and answer questions. That's how
they're doing it. And UCLA head coach to Sean Foster,
yes that to Shaun Foster, people are just understanding now.
Oh hey, to Sean Foster's the head coach is like, yes,
he is well and if you didn't know it before today,
(04:59):
you sure as he'll know it now. He goes up
to talk about the UCLA football team for just like
you know, however long a minute or so, and then
you're taking questions. Right, It's it's pretty easy. Give an
opening statement about UCLA. Talk for about forty five seconds,
say why you're excited, mention a couple of players, and
(05:21):
then everybody's gonna ask you questions. Okay then except uh,
Deshaun Foster really failed that well basically all of it. Here.
He is comes up to the to the podium, starts
talking about UCLA and talking about how glad he is
that UCLA is in the Big Ten.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Ucla and the Big Ten where a school that's won
what one hundred and twenty three championships. So this fits
us being right in this conference football wise, which is excited?
You know, I'm sure you guys don't know too much
about UCLA, but our football program around but we're in LA.
(06:07):
It's US in USC.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Oh boy if we I'm just basically excited. Really, that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So, you know, talking, he's had all off season to
get ready for the year and get excited, know the players.
What can he say and what does he come up with? Hey? Uh,
both US and USC are in Los Angeles?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, no, that's good.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, everybody, everybody get that. Everybody understand that. That's what
I'm coming about. In fact, I can't even tell you
about UCLA for more than twenty seconds before I mentioned USC,
like I gotta mention, I mentioned our crosstown right. Hey,
you know they're from l A too. Don't know if you
know that or not. Like like the best thing that
I can come up with, Mike, honestly, I mean, look,
and this is just such an epic fail. And I
(07:02):
think they're gonna go one and eleven now because I
don't know how you come back.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You're together, your head coach.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Could I could go talk about usul A football better
for a minute without mentioning any players. I could do this.
We're happy to be in the Conference of Champions. This
is gonna be an unbelievable thing for us. We're excited
to come to all these different stadiums. We're excited to
see you guys. Come to LA and I come to
the campus. Come to Diddy Reese. You get the greatest
(07:29):
ice cream sandwiches known to mankind for like two dollars.
They're unbelievable. I just went the other day, and because
I did just go the other day, Oh, there's gonna
be you know, parking is better than it's been, than
what you've heard. It's gonna I mean, I could have
done better. The best thing I can tell you is
that he maybe expected a laugh when he said, you know, hey,
I understand that certain conference fan bases don't know much
(07:51):
about outside of their conference, but wow, really he expected
a laugh after we're from LA and he didn't get it,
and he went into pure panic mode. I mean, the
only other team he knew was USC USC Pepperdine is here.
They play up the coast a little bit. We got
U see Santa Cruz that's a little bit north. We
got Irvine we got the hand eaters. They're a little
(08:12):
bit more down south. I mean, he could have said anything,
but I feel like maybe he wanted, he was looking
or expected people to love at least a little bit,
and when nobody did, he did the whole Hey, who's
from out of town? Anybody here from out of town?
Who's from out of town? Anybody out of town? Hey,
anybody from the He's got aybody from Brooklyn. Hey, here's
my Brooklyn impression, like a he's a comic that just Hey,
(08:33):
I didn't think I was gonna get no lafts there,
so now I'm panicking.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
How many air here on a first date tonight?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's just that freeze moment and the pause are you're
just like really really like. He had a great opening
line talking about championships, the expectation that we're coming from
one of the great conferences in college athletics and sports overall.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I mean, I just bought you thirty seconds right there.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You don't need any more.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
You don't even have to do in any.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Of the mess city of your get and again, you know,
Fendley brings it up and I alluded to it before
we write. You had a departure of an information director.
Whatever doesn't matter, Like this didn't get sprung on you. Hey,
keep your calendar clear for next Wednesday. But no, no,
this is what we were ready to go to Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But this wasn't a twenty minute press conference where hey,
we're missing our sid we're missing this was Can you
just talk about the foot for forty five second?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
The side is important to you and the the handlers,
for lack of a better term, if there's breaking news,
something happened in the conference, in the team, with one
of your players, one of your coaches, whatever, that you
have to address spur of the moment. Everybody's scrambling to
get in front of you outside of your offices or
(09:59):
practice facility. This is you took the job. What was
the day he got hired?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You had months? You know these things exist?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Or did they hide it from him because they knew
this was possibly gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know what, if we don't.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Psych him out by talking about these events, he'll just
be able to go out there and wing it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. How bad
can it be? Guys?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He was excited, He was very excited, so excited, I
can't tell you anything more than we're in LA and
so is USA.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Even if he just went full Dion route and just
said we're coming for you, Dion would have then filled
the air for another forty five minutes about his kids
and Travis Hunter. But you at least have you know,
the one line just saying, hey, we're ready for the
competition of the Big Ten. We look forward to, you know,
our first year in the conference. I mean, that's it, right,
(10:48):
I mean there were some jokes about nil and whatever.
Once he sat down and he was more comfortable at
the table. But here was your big moment. If nothing else,
break out, you know, into a Freddie Mercury call in response,
get the crowd on your side.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Come on, what is that the note that lived forever?
What do they call that? The note that lived forever?
This is like, that's like asking me to say, hey, Jason,
can you go up and talk about the Mets?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, and me going, so the Mets. We uh we're
in New York. Uh so are the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
A little more successful than us? But we're there too, and.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Uh, I'm just uh, I'm just excited. Can you talk
about Lindor a lot of I don't know. I just
say we're from New York.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'll be excited. Well, on God Green Earth would ask
you to talk about the Mets. Many people Mary if
for your information, many people name them. There are bosses
here at Fox Sports Radio. They call me every day
and say, make sure you talk about the Mets tonight
because I love it. So okay, you think I talk
about the Mets because I want to Come on, I
get it. I get I get I get all kinds
(11:57):
of enochts from above saying this we better talk about tonight.
So I want to keep my job.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Come on, that was over a minute. Did you catch that?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Didn't have to pause, didn't have to tap dance, went
for a minute.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
On out and out live? Get it? But on some level, though, man,
and it is true.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I mean what we're trying to do here, it's entertain
and rage and gauge and inform. We want you to
either love us or hate us. If you just go eh,
I mean that we haven't done our job. So leaning
into the teams that we love or for me sometimes
the teams I loathe are going to be great business
for us.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
For this unites the.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
World and our Twitter audience at how about a forresca
at Swollen Dome against Jason because he loves the Mets.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. Look, look, mostly my teams exist, so you can
feel better about your teams because my teams are terrible.
But hey, once in a while, the sun shines a
little bit, and the sun has shining tremendously tonight because
we just swept the air. The Yankees have the second
worst record in baseball since they US two and a
half weeks ago. The worst record is, of course, the
White Sox. The Mets have the best record in baseball
(13:05):
since we started playing the Yankees. I wish we could
play the Yankees every bleeping day, man, I wish we
could face Garrett Cole every day. Yes, this is my moment,
and I'm feeling it. I got lightning in my hands,
like I'm the Emperor.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I limited power.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You know, we're from LA like USC. Boy, how good
is USC gonna be this year? You know, Lincoln Riley
does a great job with that team over there in
the US.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
He could have just channeled the Road Warriors from back
in the day, one of the great taglines.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know, We're from Chicago and we like to hurt people,
and then they just walk off that.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I mean they were supposed to do a full interview
and then Elt Paul Ellering ended up doing.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The whole bit same thing. Here.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
We're from LA. We're here to cause destruction in the
Big ten. Throw the microphone down and walk off UCLA.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Get ready for a one and eleven season sit out

it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we want

Speaker 8 (15:20):
Remember you could see it on YouTube, but definitely join us.
Listen to over Promised with Cavino and Rich on the

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Hey buddy, we got people taking umbrage with your your
hatred on Deshaun Foster there.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh really, what do you mean, umbradge? Well, not Michault.
The guy couldn't talk for twenty seconds about UCLA.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Josh, Hey, Dan Campbell butchered his opening press conference. How's
he doing? Yeah, all, Jason was saying that he's not Campbell,
he's not Sirianni, he's not well even your taco guy
from back in the day. All you're saying is they
were already facing it uphill battle going to the Big Ten.
This just makes him a little more secure.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Mike, he was excited.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
He was he was an excited non utterance.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Look, look, I'll be honest with you. USC and UCLA
are both gonna get drubbed in the Big Ten. They're
gonna get absolutely drubbed, Ucla more so, and mainly because look,
the Big Ten. You know, one of the big things
I'm sure part of the negotiation with USC and UCLA
joining was, Hey, we want our big teams to have
(16:34):
games in LA every year, and they want to be
able to recruit more in Los Angeles and in the
football rich area. So USC and UCLA are not every
year gonna avoid Hey, we're not playing Michigan, Ohio State,
and Penn Say no, no, You're gonna play all of
them because every other year they're gonna want a game
in Los Angeles so they can play you guys, and look,
you've seen that UCLA is not the program it was.
(16:57):
The Big ten in the SEC are the two giants
in college football, and USC is not nearly the team
they were. Lincoln Riley has struggled, So yeah, they're gonna
get drubbed. It's gonna be a welcome to the machine
moment for them this year. Try trying to get to
k The only look, the only way I see them
winning upset games, both USC and UCLA is that sometime
(17:20):
because you look, the planet's getting hotter, and it's really
really hot in La all the way to to UH.
When you get all the way through till till UH
thank Thanksgiving till Halloween.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Is the lava streams are ready to flow.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
If you get one of those games where a big
team is playing at the Rose Bowl at the Coliseum
in one hundred and five degree heat and they're not
ready to handle it, and USULA and USC are a
little bit better off in late September early October because
they can handle it. Then I can see an upset
going because boy, the weather is something that is going
(17:54):
to really shock a shocked teams. Potentially if you're not
ready for it. But outside of that, you're gonna get killed. Man,
you're gonna get killed. Every time. I'm gonna see U
c l A in the in the powder blues with
the white turtlenecks. That's a loss. Anytime you see a
U c l A team and turtle next, they're going
to lose, right us see the same thing they're going
to They're gonna get drubbed in the Big Ten this
(18:14):
year and then in the next few years as well.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
There you go, asked and answered.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I mean, I wish it was different, but it's not.
But that's just how it's gonna go. They're gonna get
a lot of money, they're gonna get paid. It's gonna be.
It's gonna it's great for them. They're there, they've secured
their future. But yeah, that's gonna come with l's on
the football field.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
This the entire time you were doing uh that little
uh soliloquy, I pictured you as Kevin Bacon and a
few good men.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Okay, can't help you down, Danny. Your boys are going down,
going down.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Can't help that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Now, that's kind of where you were going.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, you may not have recognized it consciously, but that's
where you were.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Hell, I dared you myself to get in that courtroom. Danny,
you got into the court with the memory of a
dead lawyer. Uh so, well.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's gonna have our lousysopomare Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:09):

next pro. Forget about posting jobs, sifting through resumes, interviews
with unqualified applicants. Move up to the pros. Go to
expresspros dot com to find the location near you. That's
Expresspros dot com. And now the Express Prospro of the Week.
(19:30):
When you hit home runs in bunches like this guy,
when you've been one of the top three players in
all of baseball for the last two months, Francisco Lindor,
you get to be the Express pros Pro of the Week.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
First pitch to Lindor, Sw're gonna drive deep to right
down the line. There Sigos homeron Francisco Lindor into.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
The second deck in right field.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
A scorcher come in, Sarah, leading by a score of
five to two.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
You tell him how Mets Radio network on the call. Look,
it's I wish that Lindor would just have a better
start to a season once with the Mets. Maybe then
he'd make an All Star team or something. But for
the last two months, ever since he got moved to
the leadoff spot in the batting mortar, he has been lights.
I mean, I think he's got the second best war
in all of baseball the last two and a half months.
(20:19):
I mean behind Aaron Judge obviously, but I think he's
got the second best in all of baseball the last
two months. He has been one of the top two
or three players in the game. Since the middle of May.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, I think he's He reminds me a lot, remember
back when he could hit Jose Abrah former White Sox,
great last scene trying to flail about, and for the
Houston Astros, he was the same way for like a
month or two, and you'd be like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
And then it would hit June, it'd warm up in.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Chicago and boom, all of a sudden, the ball's flying
out of the yard and he's making runs towards MVP
with Lindor May. It all turned around when he called
for that team meeting, right, I mean, it was just
a struggle. You had jumped off saying it couldn't even
get me halfway to the Jets season.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
No, the season.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Come yeah you quit. You were like, this is done.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Now all of a sudden, you're texting your dad and
Fabiano and and trying to cause mischief.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
All over the place.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, I can't even walk to my car with you.
You got so many people that you've been, uh, you know,
doing a flame war with here.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
On the Mets Yankees stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
So but yeah, Lindor suddenly a much different guy, crazy continuity,
and and we look at the trade deadline next week,
a week from today, Jason, all of a sudden, it's
a it's a much different world than.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
We lived in a second.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, buddy, I sent my dad four brooms tonight to
signify that the four games that the Mets beat the
Yankees this year. Not heard back? Not heard back.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You never used a broom in your life?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
No, no, no, not heard back. But now now that
he he's away, you're out of the will. Now that
he's I don't want to be in the will now
that now that he's away, and I know, right right
before he comes back, I can bring the brooms to
to his uh, to his apartment, and I can put
him right in front of the door. Now, that would
be pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, although I'll do that and then someone's gonna call
and say, hey, Walt, there's a lot of brooms in
front of your door. You want to know why. You
can tell me why that happened.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
They in a box, like you just can't leave the brooms. Now,
it's gotta be uh you know, candy man?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Do I gotta wrap it so it's in the shape
of a broom. You can tell what it is like
you like, you're out of Harry Potter.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
What do you think you got? It's a freakin' broom?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
What do you think it's a firebolt?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I mean, who who in Walt's life? Oh, that would
be the best print. Yes, that would be to get
all excitable about it. I said that those are really
good brooms. He sent to you the best shows. He
really cared about this.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Here Dad, congratulations on that sweep. So today we finally
got the Egypt story from Aaron Rodgers Right to the podcast.
Talked to Pro Football Podcasts Pro Football Talk commenter and
talked about going to Egypt and missing the last two
(23:17):
days of the Jets oh, the two days of jets
mini camp and look, I'll be Look, I'll give you
this straight this straight talk on Aaron Rodgers. As I said,
I'm buoyed by the fact that even though we probably
shouldn't have gone to Egypt, if he really thought he
was gonna have a bad year or he was behind,
(23:37):
he would have stayed. He would have stayed because he
knows he's staring at the end of his career if
he has a bad year. So the fact that he
felt confident enough to say, hey, I was at all
the OTAs and I'm leaving these couple of days and
go to Egypt because it's a trip I booked a
long time ago. Hey, I feel good that he's confident
enough saying I got this. I'm gonna be fine. But look,
(23:58):
it's a horrible optic. It's terrible, especially when he goes
on the record and says, we have to treat winning seriously,
we have to change the vibe around here. Okay, you're
the leader, and oh yeah, hey, guess what when Mini
cam comes, I'm not gonna be here because I booked
a trip to Egypt, because you know, these trips are
like fifteen twenty thousand dollars and Aaron Rodgers, who only
made fifty million dollars last year. I can't reschedule that.
(24:20):
I mean, that's just stupid.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
If I'm going through Costco to book a trip somewhere
and they say, hey, I got a reschedule, that's a
thing for me, man, Okay, well it's money. But for Aaron, yeah,
you could have rescheduled. You could have done it. The
thing about Aaron Rodgers, and this is what it boils down.
Do you talk about the craziness and everything he has
about himself and the conspiracy theories and all of this,
but this is the truth about Aaron Rodgers, and this
(24:42):
is a I cross my fingers. I hope he's going
to be great. His teammates like him. It feels like
he's going to be great. But he is someone who
throughout his career has always done whatever he wanted to sure,
and seventy five eighty percent of the time it's worked
out for him. Twenty percent of the time, it's stuff
like this where it's dude, you should have been there.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Luckily, his teammates are saying, hey, he was there with
us the entire time in OTAs he booked this trip.
That's great. And look, I think there's an understanding from
the Jets where it's like, hey, we're gonna either go
to the super Bowl or not because of him. Right,
he's been in the league a long time. He's going
to the Hall of Fame. What am I gonna do?
I'm really gonna call out a Hall of Fame quarterback.
So it seems like the dynamic is fine. Look, but
(25:25):
that's who Rogers is. When you understand that about Rogers,
everything else falls into place. Why am I doing podcasts
to talk about crazy conspiracy theories? Because I want to
do You think it's a good idea, and you think
that helps I don't care. I want to do it.
Do you think it's a good idea for you to
go to Egypt to not reschedule where he could leave
three days later?
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Because I had this all going on, I want to
do it. He has always done whatever he wants to,
and we all know people in life that do whatever
they want to. You can say, hey, what do you
think about this?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, yeah, but I'm gonna go do this anyway. Why Yeah,
because I want to do it. Do you think about
how you affect other people now, not really, I want
to go do this. Everything is fine. I talk to
the team, the guys know I'm leaving. Everything is good.
It's all good. But that's who Rogers is. And for
the most part, when you're a person with that kind
of self confidence that I always do what I want
(26:13):
to works out for you. We see captains of industry
bosses and have that kind of confidence. It works out.
But at the same time, it's okay. When you always
do whatever you want, there's gonna be some times where
you really piss people off. And he's lucky. He's lucky
that this time he pissed people off. It was the media,
and it was people who want to call him out
because they don't like him, because he's very divisive already.
(26:35):
There's lots of things he said. I can't believe he
said that. I hate he said. But everybody is ready
to just jump up and down on him. So this
he's lucky that this controversy with me doing whatever I
want to is gonna wind up blowing over. No one's
gonna sit back and say if the Jets lose Week
one and Rogers goes fourteen for thirty one for a
(26:55):
touchdown and three picks. No one's gonna say, oh, you
should have come to those two days of mini camp. No,
it's gonna be Oh, it's Rogers do so it's it's
one of those things where Rogers got lucky and the
Jets got lucky. But don't forget it, right, It's like
you can forgive, but don't forget. We forgive. He's paying
the fine, he said, it's it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I'm talking with Robert Sala. Everything is great. Yes, I'm
paying the fine. The Jets fine it, I understood it.
You forgive, but you don't forget. So so this is where, okay,
I get it. And and this is gonna go away
really fast because training camp is here and Roger's here,
and this goes. But don't but don't forget, because there's
times when he does whatever the hell he wants to
and it winds up looking really, really bad. That's the
(27:37):
big takeaway for me from everything that went on with Rogers,
this trip to Egypt and leaving the Jets when he
could have stayed.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I think it comes down to this.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
His teammates are smarter than his coach, and they watched
him get raked over the coals for you know, the
fining and unexcused absence and whatever else. And if they
were mad, well, that'll come out in the wash at
some point and you'll he or some tales from the
locker room of hey, we were still sweating our asses
(28:05):
off and busting our butts while he was off on vacation.
I'm sure there was some of that, you know, whether
they downplay it today or not, but the reality is,
you're not going anywhere unless this guy plays well. Salas
should know this. Hackett doesn't have a job without it,
so he knows it and just go on down the
line to a man, all their hopes of this being
(28:28):
a successful season and then putting up the stats that
get them the next you know, blank you money deal.
Because that's where we're at here, right. You talk about
captain of industry, you talk about these different things. Aaron
Rodgers is at the point, and he did this all
the way through, but certainly in Bolden the last couple
of years, because he probably met with a financial advisor
going how many lifetimes have a m I set for?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
All? Right?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Now I can say whatever the hell I want, let's go,
And that's when you know the chaos, you know, starts
the threats of retirement and walking away and everything that
went on where he basically channeled his predecessor in Green
Bay did some of the same tactics, which no doubts
still enraged people, but they've all been pretty good about
keeping their mouths shut. Once he retires, maybe all the
(29:14):
stories start flying. But for this Jets season, I think,
to a man, they just realize there's no win if
they actually say damn it. Everybody recognizes special rules for
special talent, special players. That's in every walk of life,
no matter where you are, who you are, however you're
listening here on the iHeartRadio app or all of our
(29:36):
cities nationwide, all our affiliates, you recognize it in whatever
line of work that you do. That there are just
some different rules. Aaron Rodgers is saying, I have different rules,
and even if not, I'm gonna go outside them anyway,
because what the hell are they gonna do to me?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Exit out bouta fresca. It's swallen down The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. Coming up next,
the biggest battle in sports was joined today. We'll tell
you how it's gonna end. Coming up next, Jason to
Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon Live from thee Tirac dot Com studios. Were
a big story broke today and then the battle was joined.
Luckily we can tell you how it's gonna end. For
the last few weeks, we have been under the impression
(30:39):
with NBA rights deals coming up, the NBA was gonna
leave TNT. This will be the last year coming up
of NBA games on TNT, likely the last year of
the inside the NBA on TNT with everybody, and it
was gonna be sad. This is because they were likely
going to be shut out of the bidding because Amazon
(31:01):
was going to jump in with a bigger bid that
TNT couldn't match. And before the events of the last
couple of weeks, we thought, well, TNT is not really
going to get involved because well, the head of programming said,
we don't need the NBA to be successful. Wow, talk
about the worst things to say. We don't need the NBA.
When the rights package was awarded a few days ago.
(31:26):
The smaller package that the NBA on TNT went to
was awarded to Amazon with one point eight billion dollars
a year for the eleven year deal. TNT had time
to match that, and they did, oh, wait a minute,
we're gonna get the NBA and TNT no, not so fast.
The NBA has said, well, technically, TNT did not match
(31:50):
the bidding for Amazon, so we're going to bring the
NBA to Amazon after this year. And now TNT is
struck back with we absolutely met the ramifications, we met
the threshold. We are now taking this to court. Great, Now,
it's messy. Look i'll tell you how this is gonna end.
And it's valiant by TNT to try to save face
(32:13):
after the We don't need the NBA to be successful,
but the NBA is going to Amazon, right Adam silver
is by making this decision by saying, hey, that's great,
thanks TNT, We're going to Amazon.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Look.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
TNT has been a great partner for the NBA for
the last twenty five years, but you can see they're
scraping nickels together to get that bid up to try
to keep it. Maybe it was a face saving bid.
Maybe it's a way to try to get a little
bit of cash influx to TNT. But there's a past
and there's a future, and the NBA and on TNT
is the past twenty five plus years. The future is streaming.
(32:47):
We told you all the league rights are going to
streaming sometime in the next ten years. And I love that.
Some crazy pundit said today, you know, all the streaming
rights gonna wind up going to All the rights gonna
go to streaming in sports the next few years. Yeah,
we told you this a year ago. This was gonna happen, right,
But hey, information is free and I can't control, and
people pay attention to stuff. But we know that this
(33:08):
is how it's gonna go, and this is the future
of sports. No one goes back. The NBA knows the
future is streaming. Amazon's a huge partner. They're not going anywhere.
Of all the streaming sites, we think, ah, they're gonna
be around. What's gonna happen? We know Netflix and Amazon
they're gonna be around for a long time. They have
the money. They outbid everybody for this package. The NBA
(33:29):
is gonna go to Amazon. When it's all said and done, again,
there's gonna be a lot of history onics and great
back and forth. But the NBA has already said we
want to go to Amazon. That's the future. They're going
to Amazon.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Yeah, they'll figure out the money by which to get
everybody to play nice sandbox and those that are ringing
their hands over inside the NBA and all of that.
I am fully confident that that finds new life. You know,
where there's money, there's a way brand loyalty, because we
see how many broadcasts can work for multiple operations along
(34:02):
the way, there's ways to carve it out and make
it work if you go to Amazon. I had to
order some things for the kids a little bit earlier
during the break, and there was already a NBA is
coming on near Amazon Prime, so you got that gone. Look,
the big thing for me is that the play becomes.
As much as you can say we match dollars and cents,
(34:25):
they're never going to be the same proposals because you
have Warner Brothers, Discovery and whatever the business becomes. And
there's a lot of stories starting to circulate tonight as
to how they're doing everything they can to try to
prop up their stock price. You know, will we split
companies here to where it becomes its own entity. So
we're only reporting on this side, which is more profitable,
(34:47):
and you can go down that that highway. However you
need to. You saw Major League Baseball today, right, MLB network.
You don't need to subscribe to cable or any of
the larger packages YouTube, TV or a anything else. Six
to ninety nine a month now for at bat and
for MLB networks starting today. So you're trying to piece
(35:08):
meal it together and decide whether it's more cost efficient
household a household. But for the NBA, as I'm saying,
it's it's not the same. It's apples and oranges, global
brand and reach, talking two hundred million plus subscribers. When
you get to Amazon Prime and growing right, two million
(35:28):
strong and growing like the old vitamin adds. And then
they have the the cable side where TNT reaches fewer
and fewer homes every year. So the growth and what's
carved out in the proposals are going to be much different.
Even if the dollars are being matched. Oh yeah, we'll
match that. That takes one flick of a pen or
(35:49):
a click of a mouse. So now it becomes Warner
Brothers Discovery, how much will you pay us to go
away so we don't.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Have to litigate this? And you know, and the funny
thing is, yes, is it about the money? Of course
it is. And could Amazon has said, boy, maybe we
should have been a little bit more money, we could
have put this to bed. But honestly, it's for me,
it's more about this is gonna be an eleven year deal,
and the NBA has to sit back and say, Okay,
in eleven years, do we want to still be on
(36:16):
cable television or do we want to be on Are
we sure that cable tv is still gonna be what
not even eleven in five years?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Right?
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Where can versus where we are If this is a yeah,
if this is a p seventy six billion, look if
this is a two or three year deal, maybe it's different.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
But it's like, hey, we're doing this next ten eleven years. Yeah,
Cable's not where we're gonna put a ten year commitment
right now. I'd rather do it to streaming because that's
where it's gonna go. Look, it's it'll be It's like
it's valiant for TNT to do this, but in the end,
it's gonna be Amazon. That's just the way of the world.
That's how it goes exit. How about a Fresco exit?
