I mean, you talk about guys getting paid. But but first,
because our boss is here told me we had to
do this. Mike Carmen, Uh, we need to update the
(01:13):
National League wild card race. And uh, it's very important Uh,
they said, hey, start with this. Make sure everybody knows
that the Mets are now the number one wild guard
in the the league.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And have the fourth bets record. And yet why are
you people right off the gate.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Spout and spewing lies and misinformation and hat the boss
and did not tell.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's not a lie unless you do this. It's not
a lie unless you can prove it. That's my new
that's my new saying. I'll tell you a lie.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Unless you improve it. Did you order did you order
the code red.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Number one wild guard?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
The Mets beat the Braves again?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh my goodness, And I'll tell you look as.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Much about to watch the failing spect accurately.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah oh yeah, no dude, yeah yeah, you're you'll be
at eighty losses by Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's gonna be fantastic. It's wonderful. Uh, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
More fun to watch Braves. Twitter just absolutely meltdown, now,
just absolute meltdown. They go from every day is look
how smart we are signing our players to contracts before
they come up, and we save so much money with
his smartest organization. Let me pat you on the back, No,
let me pat you on the back. Oh look another
great player has come up. This is so great. We'll
(02:28):
give him sixty million dollars for eight years, and he
doesn't because he's don't have to pay him for another
five years. Look how smart we are. And now it's
trade this guy. Get rid of this guy. All our
guys are hurt. Make all these big moves in the deadline.
All the meltdown is glad.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Do you want me to go back and read Mets
twitter from about a month and a half and though
that was a moment, would you like me to do that?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's a different world than it is, right, it's the
same damn thing. That's a different world just flipped. It's
one hundred and eighty degrees.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's like Deadpool's worlds shy Marvel six one six, two
completely different worlds, which you need to know that going in.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh, by the way, two completely.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Different worlds, fake worlds. You know, Marvel's not real, Jason.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Right, But the Mets areel and that's all that matters.
The Mets areel. The Mets are reel, and they are spectacular.
Look at this, Look at this, Look at this. This
is I want to buy so many Mets things tonight.
I want to buy so many things, so so many.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'll saw you a Phillies Mets jacket.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know you wouldn't You would think there would be
a lot of Mets Phillies stuff that would be really
cheap that I could find. No, No, London Series, not
not as much.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't think they printed very much and then they
burned whatever was left. You will have no remnants of
this game. There's no proof that ever existed.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So yeah, look, we'll have more baseball on the way up.
Big trades already going down today. It's like when Randy
Rose Raina got traded last night. It was suddenly, hey,
we better get on it because the trade deadline is
too I don't want to wait around. So lots of
teams are making smaller deals, bullpen deals, starting pitcher deals,
outfielder deals, former all stars from just a year ago.
We're getting traded. So there's a lot of great baseball
(04:02):
to get to. But we saw today two quarterbacks who
were up quote absolutely get paid earlier in the day
to a tongue of Iiloa and extension worth two hundred
and twelve million dollars. We thought it was coming for
him we heard that Hey two was gonna get paid.
It's just going to take a matter of time. It's okay,
(04:25):
four year, two hundred and twelve million dollar extension, largest
in franchise history. At the time, he was among the
league's highest paid quarterbacks. He was third behind Trevor Lawrence
and Joe Burrow. However, I hope you enjoyed the limelight
to him just not too long ago, Jordan Love and
the Packers, which you knew was gonna happen once two assigned.
(04:46):
He knew Jordan Love was going to get his deal.
Jordan Love four years, two hundred and twenty million dollar
extension with the Green Bay Packers. This money, fifty five
million a year, now matches Lawrence and Joe Burrow for
the highest in league history. And the first thing I'm
gonna say is, boy, you think of all the great
(05:06):
players in the game and all the great quarterbacks, and
you go, if I had to tell you who the
three highest paid guys in the history of the game are,
and it's Jordan Love, Joe Burrow, and Trevor Lawrence, you
would go, wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute,
something's wrong here, Because you know a couple of these
guys are good. One guy's a jag and I mean really,
he's just a guy. These are the guys now setting
the bar for what comes next in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Oh, it always comes back to next man up and
all eyes immediately turn over to Jerry Jones all in
and Dak prescotted, right. We talked about him yesterday and
his presser. But you know, you want to get this
done before we get to any substantive football. Yes, we're
in in pads and doing the initial parts of training camp,
(05:46):
but you know it all starts getting real quote unquote
next Thursday when you have the Hall of Fame game kickoff,
because now you have that that fuse lit for that
final run of days before we get to week one
of the season. So uh yeah, you want all those
distractions and issues because the Beat reporters are gonna ask
(06:08):
every day, right, And as much as you could say
you filter out the noise, you don't filter out the noise.
It's still there, it's still swirling, and now it's asked
and answered. You know, it's it's just interesting. Right with Tua,
you need in another year of all right, stay healthy,
let whatever your taekwondo moves were about getting hit and
rolling on the on the ground and all that worked.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Proof of concept.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Jordan love as much as you may have loved him
in the building, and you'd already kind of gone down
the road of we're gonna get there, you kind of
needed to see it in action for a year before
you signed the big deal. Uh And and now we're
at that point where it's just the price doing doing business.
And as much as people can, they can bemoan it
and they do all the comparisons they want. I immediately
(06:50):
saw the graphics of Tua against the career earnings of
Dan Marino. We live in a different world, people. I mean,
you know, we can do this till we're blue in
the face. These guys played plumbers and Dan Marino was
on the street corner just singing do wop, begging for change.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's kind of where we're at in here. But you know,
you were beginning a rocky when Frank's take you back,
DoD dude, he's got that lit the fire in the
trash can.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But look, I'll tell you this, because there's two big
takes off of this, and the first one is Tua
gets paid, right, he gets two hundred and twelve million dollars.
He gets the extension, and look, Tua is good, he's young,
he's ascending every year. He's getting better. Led the NFL
in passing yards last year. But still, don't you get
(07:39):
the sense that the Dolphins paid him kind of reluctantly.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Don't you get this?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Because I wouldn't be surprised if you find out that
they were on the phone trust still trying to get
Jalen Hurts five minutes before they tried to sign two.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Alright, we'll side to it to this deal, Jason.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I think with most of these quarterbacks not named Mahomes, Yeah,
there's a reluctance like no, no, no, this guy's gotta be
the next guy up at sixty million dollars?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hear, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't mean a reluctance in h boy, we gotta
pay this guy, because no, I mean a reluctance. And
do we still believe this guy is great? Are we
paying him to be great? There's reluctance in paying a
guy because you just don't want to. Look, we got
to pay fifty five million dollars a year to our quarterback,
and now we're screwed, because we are not gonna have
We're not gonna be able to keep a lot of players,
and we can't do that anymore. We don't have a
quarterback on a rookie contract, X, Y, and Z. That
(08:23):
goes along with it. There's that kind of reluctance. Then
there's the reluctance of are we sure that he's the guy?
Like I think you would still have people walking around
the building in Miami going, are we sure he's the guy?
You never get the sense of unadulterated love for a quarterback.
You get you, look, his teammates say great things about him,
but look, they're just as good as he was. Even
even a year and a half ago they were talking
(08:44):
about trying to move on, Hey should we move on?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
We do this, and and still.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I feel like there's a big part of it where, well,
we had to pay him. He's doing everything we ask
and he's getting better, and our team is kind of
built around him. He led the league in yards per
a tempt last year, even though he doesn't have a
strong arm. But still I just get the sense that, yeah,
we paid him, but we're still kind of nervous that
we're paying a guy that we think he's really this
good and all he's done is perform. But for whatever reason,
(09:11):
whether Richie doesn't have a strong arm or is he
the big leader everybody says he is, for whatever reason,
it just I just feel like, yeah, they still have
their their hesitancy, they still have their doubts, and we
really sure because all the love you get for a
guy getting paid like this, it should be how the
Bengals talk about Burrow and how the Chiefs talk about
(09:31):
my homes and how the Jets talk about Rogers and
all that. But instead you get a hey, yeah he's
he's our guy. You don't get a lot of front
office love, a lot of front office Hey, we really
like this guy and we think he's great. It's like,
oh yeah, yeah, he'll get paid. It was tough, it
worked out, and now you know, we hope he's this good.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Well some of it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The Jets they're pot committed, and Rogers will pout and
flame them on every podcast an interview he does if
he if they don't kiss his ass appropriately, as evidenced
by all the guys, he was able to strong arm
them into signing a year ago.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah about the podcast, I don't think he cares about
talking about too much football on his podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No, no, no, but that's the avenue for him.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
No, no, He's gonna give you everything else, but he's
gonna throw his jabs in if you actually ask him
a football question.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I don't think anybody actually wants to ask him about
football anymore. It's far more interesting and gets more coverage
outside of the sports bubble that we live in, right,
much larger world to all of it. Right, we've got
a large, large bubble, and then there's the larger community,
especially if you start bringing in conspiracy theories and politics. Right,
(10:40):
we know that's gonna happen. But with with Tuam No,
I think it's the same thing, the Trevor Lawrence thing.
That guy's gonna be great, and I know he got hurt,
and I know there were a lot of other circumstances,
but you're still at the point of doing a little
bit of handwringing of you know, is it the guy
that you expected him to be? At this point, I
think everybody would say, no, he's not right and and
(11:01):
hasn't been. That guy consistently keep going down. The other
guy's getting Jordan Love gave you a half a season
where he was great and he beat the snot out
of the Cowboys last year. That's enough for a go
fund yourself account of many millions of dollars from Green
Bay Packer.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Fans or shareholders as they call themselves.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So all of that to say, yeah, there's gonna be
some reticence with a lot of these guys, but it's
all right, what's our alternative we go back into the draft.
Are we gonna be bad enough to where we're drafting early,
or we're gonna have to give up all of our
draft capital for the next several years, like you're an
NBA team, Or do we have to hope and pray
(11:42):
that somewhat hits the open market, which generally only happens
if a team has hit on you know, the lottery
with a second quarterback or they suck.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So you know, to that end, that's that's where you're at.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You're but you publicly, you've got to say as glowing
as you can. I think with mc annual, he's just
kind of squirrely at the mic. So you're never gonna get,
if you know, a full praise run from him because
he's gonna, you know, have that dug moment. Uh, and
that's gonna be the end of any kind of long
monologue saluting his quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Now when it comes to Love, though, it's a little
bit different, right because because I look at I look
at to it and go to it. Got paid. He
was up, it was his turn. He was young, as
contract was coming, he's ascending all of this. Whether they
how reluctantly they paid him, they did. Jordan Love got
paid because he was one fifty eight point three in
Dallas in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's right. I mean he was really good.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And both these quarterbacks are really good, right, But Jordan
Love started out last year, first couple of games were
really good. Then he sort of plateaued a bit, and
midway through the season it was is he really our guy? Boy?
We did we really do all this with Aaron Rodgers
kicking the curb and maybe Jordan Love's not the guy?
And then the last half of the season, he's one
of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. Right, like,
(12:59):
twenty one touchdowns his last eight weeks. Okay, hey, we
got a good one. But he goes into Dallas one
fifty eight point three quarterback rating, three touchdowns, He is
amazing when you do that on the road in Dallas.
This is why he got paid. Any other reasons has it? Hey,
the dude went into Dallas and did that to the Cowboys,
(13:20):
which have a pretty good defense. Right, maybe not as
good as it was earlier in the year, but that's
a pretty good thing to go in on the road
and do that. It's time to pay this guy paid.
He was gonna get paid, but he got paid today
and this kind of money. And he's a top paid
quarterback in the NFL because he was one fifty eight
point three in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think the last thing is talking about the roster.
He also was leading, right, very young roster. Watson was hurt.
Aaron Jones not quite sure what happened in the month
that he missed, remember, because he went out in mid
November and he'd been pedestrian at best. Dylan was an afterthought.
And then all of a sudden, Aaron Jones was back
down the stretch and running like mania. Uh and whoever
(14:02):
a mania it is on a Friday night?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
And and suddenly you had balance back to that offense.
This year, they bring in Josh Jacobs expecting more of
the same. Uh And perhaps you know, the leaner, meaner
AJ Dillon.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
They get.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
A much better combination and with those young receivers ascending.
So yeah, you pay your quarterback and move forward. But yeah,
being able to put up one fifty eight to three
against Dallas, I mean that leads all all the sizzle reels.
That that led the negotiations right here here, what's what's
the where were we starting?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Here's the box score. You can see the important parts highlighted.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
We're just gonna show you video of him playing in
Dallas and then at the end, you're gonna you're gonna
write a blank check and we're gonna catch it.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
We watched that highlight video you put in up against Dallas,
and we didn't see Michael Parsons in once exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh that's when he got hurt and he left the game.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:56):

Speaker 1 (17:43):
I don't watch the trailer.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Turn this trailer off. I don't want to know anything.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It was in the not ruining anything. It was in
the tysher stopping the song.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Like, oh my god, I'm ruining something with the movie.
I don't know what you're.
Speaker 4 (17:55):

I was able to laugh out loud and not disturb
to any people.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Match Katie like at times the Deadpool and Wolverine. I'll
say this, and here's the thing. It was really funny.
It was really funny. Some of the stuff I'm surprised
they did. And this is for Deadpool. I'm surprised at
some of some of the humor, some of the stuff
they did. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were both really
really good. It was exactly it's a Deadpool movie, which
(18:56):
is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
But boy was it messy?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
All right? Oh ooh boy was it messy. I'm like, oh, okay.
As soon as as soon as it started and I
knew what the what the big what the plot was
gonna I'm like, oh, really.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, there's no way to do that without a lot
of mess to it. Come on, how do we get
this back over here?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All right?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
In shut this you can almost see it as they're filming.
It's like, what do we need to bridge this? All right?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, and the oh the other thing is look like
I said, don't go expecting hey, this is some clean
it's the third one, right, Whenever it's the third one
of something, you know it's going to be messy. But
like I said, really funny. They were really good. It's
a Deadpool movie. And the cameos were unbelievable. There's one
can I gasped out loud when I couldn't believe who
it was when I went, Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
My god, I couldn't and my daughter I already my
daughter knew that one.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Oh she did. I mean, I think I know which
one you're referring to.

Yeah, yeah, I could.
Speaker 2 (19:54):

Paul was my two dads.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I didn't want to Stacy Keenan and Greg Evigan. Full
House was Saggott, Stamos and Coolier.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh so Stame was okay. Yeah, again, two shows I
didn't watch, but that's okay.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
And then he was the key Parrish on General Hospital.
And now evidentally he's in some new movie, new show
with Kerry Washington.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't I don't want Ty Shirt to know that
I didn't that I didn't see Stamos in Full House.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He'd be very upset. I'm upset that job by you.
That was Friday Night staple.

Nakotomy Plaza.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He was a Chicago cop by day.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
The spoiler.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
See that was in the nineties when I was going
out having fun. So that's when you were watching television.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I was prepping to do card shows to help pay
for my education.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Hey, Harmon, we're all going out tonight, man, We're going
to the We're going to the Lipstick Pig, and then
we're going to the Jump and Knucklehead Billies, and then
we're gonna do a pub crawl exact. No, I have
to stay in. I have to order my nineteen seventy
four set of tops for a big convention tomorrow that
I bought a table at for three hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Jason, are you always end the night in the ballpit
at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I did not. I did you know? I was never
a big let's go to McDonald's at the end of
the night for a I was never that guy. I
would go to White Castle, but McDonald's was like, eh,
I don't know why the road I just never was. I,
oh wait, I'm McDonald's rest of the time. You know,
it's like hey, okay, but like that, I just wasn't
a big, Hey, let's go to McDonald's end of the night.
I just never never have been. I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm weird. I'm unpredictable.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, I mean you're that's the thing, right, you got
to keep some unpredictability. But now you we can find
you the same McDonald's booth, your sad, little little space
in the corner every day, and if you're looking for
Jason Smith, go find him at McDonald's, just sitting there
with the big hot mocha sipping, watching the world go
(22:15):
by as he sits in that booth by himself. Shows
up around ten thirty, so we can get the end
to breakfast and beginning of.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Lunch, swinking and raising his eyebrows as Grimace walks back.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Hey, dude, the Mets winning percentage is now seven eighteen
in the Grimace era. I mean, really, you could talk
about no tani all you want. Mets didn't pay a dime.
At some point you got to pay your tone exchange.
There is in there, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Come on, he came out to McDonald's paying them again
for sponsorship and stuff. No, because they had one for
a long time and then it stopped. I think they
brought it back in twenty twenty four. No, Mets could
just buy Grimace if they wanted to. He just kind
of check and say, what do you mean we need Grimace?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Okay, well I don't know a couple of million.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Sure, here you go. He's got a lot more.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Now he's got It's like Jordan Love to a tongue
of Ila and me it's a proof of concept that
you you know, you now have to pay the piper.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
But if you don't.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Sign Toua, if you don't sign Jordan Love, somebody else
is gonna want them. If the Mets don't buy Grimace,
like do other teams? Like, is Grimas gonna do the
same thing for me? Eas he did foreverybody? I know
he's gonna do what he did for the Mets. Chris
may be a one trick, good, great pony person.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Why would you say that, right?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Not all quarterbacks fit in another spot, right, I mean,
I mean Tua could go to the Jets and suck
because the Jets suck, right, or Jordan Love get away
from forty years of continuity and stability and all those
things of owning Chicago.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Like they're doing good things though, but you know he's
done good things and.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Concept, they gotta lock him up to a long term deal.
When this goes to hell, there's gonna be other teams competing.
Otherwise mccheese and company might be on the road for
competitor all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Philly, it ain't Rob McElhenny. I mean he got you.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Know, he's part of this deadpool universe or whatever. But
you know, he's Philly's favorite son right now. So he
gets kicked out and Grimace could come and replace him
just as easily a rival goes over. It's kind of
like Saquon Barkley leaving the Giants and going over to
the Eagles. That's just killing the front office and ownership.
Remember that's what hard Knock said. But Grimas could be
(24:26):
that guy now that you got a seven eighteen winning percentage.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
See you're saying all that stuff, and I'm just thinking,
is Mayor mccheese his agent is the Hamburglar his agent, Like,
I don't know who if you were, If you Grimace
had to have.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
An eighty, who would it be.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Well, the Hamburglar would be running stuff for boxers, Okay,
and MMA guys, because he's absconding with the cash.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Wow, Mike Harmon, MMA, pretty shady, that's Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Well, I mean Dana White doesn't want to pay anybody, right,
and then boxing, I mean history is littered with the
guys that got fleeced. I mean, Don King's still there
waving at you all these years later.

(25:25):
one wildcard of the National League.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
The opening ceremonies of the Olympics was today, and there's
there's a lot there's a lot of stuff. There's a
lot of cool stuff. There's stuff that makes you go,
what the hell? Uh, let me lead off with this.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
There's a lot of third rail stuff too. My man. There.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
As impressive as it was, it was just way too
bleeping long. I mean, come on, man, I mean you
got to bring home the opening ceremonies in three hours.
You can't give me some four hour bloated thing where
it's like really, because here's what it was. I started
today ten o'clock today was the beginning of the opening ceremonies, right,
(26:04):
so I'm watching it here at home. I filled in
on AM five seventy from twelve to two today because
Fred Rogan and Rodney Pete World. Thanks for the invite,
so I did they called me. I'm sorry, but I.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Don't get you to do you see the tweet that
Jason put out thanking the whole bow.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, that's good. I thank them.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I thank them for today and you guys for tonight.
I'll thank you guys at the end of the show tonight.
Like I go whenever I fill in there, I always
thank you guys here at the end of the show too.
Don't make it seem like I don't note to self.
Make sure to thank everybody at the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So ten o'clock, you know, I'm up and I'm doing
stuff and I'm prepping getting up, and the opening ceremony started.
We finished the show at two, and I waited another
fifteen minutes because we had fifteen minutes before we had
to go to see Deadpool. I'm going, they still haven't
lit the flame. Oh come on, man, this is this
is some kind of honesty where it's you got you.
(26:56):
You can't just give me this whole bloated all this.
I'm like, come on, you gotta give me something, man,
you gotta say at least okay, there's an endgame coming.
When they had the thing with the horse, I'm like, Oh,
this is gonna be really cool. Nope, it was that
horse for about thirty five minutes. And then now we're
onto something else that Oh, here's someone with the with
the torch and it's in the louver and they're running
around and I'm going they haven't even gotten to actual
(27:18):
people without masks on carrying the torch. Shed how close
can we really beat to the end. It was just
as impressive as parts it was. I'm like, come on, man,
you can't give me like a five hour opening ceremonies
for the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
My man.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It got to the point where you had Tariko basically
say I don't even know where the torch is going anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
No, they said it was.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
At one point they said it was lit like two
hours before it was lit. When the person came up
and lit, it was like, I forget where it was.
And then the spark the fireworks went off and it
was all and whoever was on the air set and
the torch is lit, and they didn't say anything else
about them, like the torch is lit. Then they go
through other stuff and they show the torch going through
other places still being brought through France. I'm like, oh no, no,
(27:59):
they really jump the gun, there by saying that the
torch was lit, because the torch clearly is not lit,
and we're gonna sit here for a while longer before
we see the torchs actually get lit.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah. Many What the hell am I watching? Moments?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
As I tried to catch up after my early Deadpool viewing,
I hadn't missed very much.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I hadn't gotten very far.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So, you know, so a couple of boats, and then
depending on the size of the the group coming in,
you had to you know, you're gonna need a bigger boat.
You know it was full jaws. We need we need
several hundred you know, room for several hundred here. Okay,
you guys get the larger pontoon like boat rolling through here.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah. So, and then all sorts of weird stuff like
what is this? What am I watching? Like? I get it.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
There's some pomp and circumstance and pageantry. I like the
little lay miss thing and Gohira and I don't know
what the Marie Antoinette thing was, the last supper thing, Like,
there's all sorts of stuff. I'm like, can we talk
with the creative people and wonder what.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
The hell were you doing?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But you know, all in, uh, the ceremonies done, and
we're onto athletic competitions, many of which you've never seen
or heard of before.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I mean, this is like watching the Snyder cut of
the opening ceremonies, like, oh no, no, we have the opening ceremonies,
but I can't tell the whole story. You need five
and a half hours of if I really wanted to know,
I know the Eiffel Tower, okay, great to said, yes,
I get it, the Arcta triumph Y.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's like, okay, okay, okay, I good tourist thing. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I mean, come on, man, I mean I don't need
the Snyder cut.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I could get here. We are live at the catacombs.
I mean, just keep on going.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
You should You should be able to tell me the
story of France in three hours what I need to
know for the Olympics. You should tell me what I
need to know about France in three hours. I mean
that should not be impossible.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
With all the extra US guys carrying the torch.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Listen, helping France out in this in this Chicken McNuggets
world where Hey, just give me something to get by.
This is the Olympics, right, give me what I need
to know for the next couple of weeks. I have
to go all the way back in time. And then
in fifteen fourteen when Napoleon was able too, come on,
give me the McNuggets version here, give me, give me
three hours of it. I'll be good.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And Tony Parker couldn't pick up the pace a little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I really thought Wenby was going to get it at
the end, like he was gonna be She's just gonna
reach up.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Now to a guy who always orders chicken McNuggets whenever
he goes to McDonald's and even sometimes Burger King, they
don't know what he's talking about. It's special delivery. Steve
to Seger with what's going on in the wide world
of sports as we just talked about here the last
few minutes, all eyes on the Mets, who are now
the number one wild card in the National League.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Steve O.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
So, what happened to the Mets starting pitcher today? Did
he finish the game or he.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Didn't finish the game?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
He went He went five and two thirds innings in
his first night back, and the Mets won, and and
he got hurt again.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yes, yes, and he got.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
I was expecting segment one tonight. You know, the Mets
can't have nice things.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
What's the determination comes out by Monday, Steve, we'll be
able to leave with it.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Then we've got a lot of good baseball to get to.
First off, the two quarterback items. Today, the Miami Dolphins
gave quarterback to a tongue of Iloa a four year
contract extension worth about one hundred and sixty seven million
dollars guaranteed over two ten mill total. He's entering the
final year of his rookie deal. Packers quarterback Jordan Love
(31:20):
was not practicing until he got a new contract. His
rookie deal ends after this season. He got a new
four year contract tonight. I'll say two hundred and twenty
two million dollars, including a seventy five million dollar signing bonus.
By the way, Lions kicker Michael Badgeley is out for
the season with a torn hamstring. The Mets won their
fifth game in a row, eight to four over Atlanta.
(31:42):
The Braves have lost six in a row. J D
Martinez in a Grand Slam. He had three hits, code
Senga in his season debut after the shoulder injury. Left
in the six with a calf stra and he had
nine strikeouts one walk. Boston comes back with three runs
bottom of the eighth and beat the Yankees nine to seven.
Aaron Judge of New York did hit his third sixth
home run of the season. It was a blast to
(32:03):
center field at Fenway Pack four hundred and seventy feet
Toronto with a run bottom of the ninth, beat Texas
six ' five, ending the Rangers five game winning streak.
The White Sox have lost eleven in a row coming
into tonight. Well, it's now a final ten nothing the
Mariners have won at the White Sox, so make it
twelve straight as the White Sox in this one, well,
(32:26):
let's just say they weren't in it. Early eight runs
in the top of the first for the Maritors, including
three straight homers. Remember when we said they had the
Carlton Fisk record of twenty seven and seventy two, it's
twenty seven and seventy nine. Now, I don't know who
Warren number eighty in White Sox history, but we're getting there.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Oh, they're gonna be Carlton Fisk and Jerry Rice.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
We're gonna get to Jerry Reinstort's age, which is eighty eight.
They're pretty fast.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
The Marlins lead at Milwaukee in the top of the
ninth six ' two Nationals tied at Saint Lewis six
to six in the eighth. The Astros are shutting out
the Dodgers five nothing in the bottom of the eighth.
LA first baseman Freddie Freeman out due to a family matter.
Wins already for Kansas City and Minnesota. Cincinnati one in
ten innings, Cleveland a winner at Philadelphia three to one.
(33:16):
The Padres won their six straight, beating Baltimore on a
two run homer in the top of the ninth inning
six to four. Jerikston profar the hero. It was his
second home run of the night. The MLB trade deadline
is Tuesday. The Rays traded pitcher Zach Eflin to the Orioles.
The Phillies acquired outfielder Austin Hayes from Baltimore. The Dodgers
(33:38):
traded picture James Paxton to Boston. And Yes, the Olympics
opening ceremony was today in Paris, in the rain on
the river send, not in a stadium. You know I
mentioned on the show before you guys, they really tried
a lot in this. I mean, you're right, it was
four hours. There's no escaping that. I'm I'm surprised they
(33:59):
pulled it off. And I'm also not surprised, as you
kind of referenced in there. Wait, you're saying something that
the French made artistically is just flat weird.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yes, the answer was.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yes, weird and to some patently offensive.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Oh absolutely, I in no way endorse everything I saw today. However,
by the end and when you get Celine Dion of
all people singing and Edith Poff's song at the Eiffel Tower, Wow,
that was a sensational finish.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
Tirac dot Com Studios. Coming up next, we got more
NFL in the way again. We got baseball trades of breakdown.
But boy, an anonymous player has just tried to light
the Lakers on fire and comes to Kenny mcdumbo.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
It's anonymous.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
That's coming up right.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Here, Jason Ike Fox Sports Radio. 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 (35:12):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live Fromthtirack dot com studios, where I'll tell
you anonymous players. Anonymous players. One has decided to try
to light the Lakers on fire. This was first reported
(35:34):
by the US Sun earlier today and you saw it
probably earlier today on Undisputed and an anonymous, unnamed Lakers
player talked about how upset he was with how things
went in Summer League earlier this month because of the
way Bronnie James was treated by the team. This quote
(35:59):
from Steve Brenner, Dan Amian Burchard or the US Son
from the player quote, The attention he attracted was very
frustrating for the players to see, and his alleged star
treatment caused friction among the team, which went zero to
five to start the tournament. That kind of tension didn't
help the group of players build chemistry, noting they had
nothing against Bronnie. Quote, you could feel there was no
(36:19):
unity between this group of guys, as Bronnie was the
main guy. The others didn't feel that it was right
and that he deserved that. Dealing with Bronnie's attention and treatment.
Plenty of the other guys trying to make the roster
for next season couldn't show their best side and show.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Their A game.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
So basically everything you thought was gonna happen with the
Lakers when Bronnie started playing this Anonymous players said, this
is what it was like. He got all the attention
in summer League. He had all the oxygen, he had
all the chances to play. Not a lot of the
other guys got chances to play and show they belonged,
and Bronnie got preferential treatment. You know, I know this
story comes out from an anonymous player and here it's
(36:57):
reported the way through. But I see this and I go, is, really,
do you think this is not how it let like
like there's anything in this.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
It sounds so outlandish and there's no way that happened.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
No, this sounds about how I expected things to go
and how it probably went earlier this month for Summer League. Yeah,
as well as he may handle it personally, We've said
it all along that you know, this is message been
has been terrible all the way through, and how it
got handled and you know, downplayed, down play, no, no,
just just own, this is where it was headed and
(37:29):
run with it. And for summer league, uh yeah, that
the coverage of it all, you know, from the larger communities,
like you didn't get a lot other than you know,
connect a bit, right when he had a couple of
big games, you got some highlights and you got some run.
He got lucky, you know early on that he was
overshadowed by Brownie James because he didn't start out Summer
(37:50):
league quite so well. So got a little bit of
a free pass there. But for anybody else, yeah, there
it was Bronnie and and the rest of the squad, right,
and here's everybody, you know, when they do introductions, here's
the six guys we announce and the rest of your
twenty twenty four while. I mean, that's how I think
probably felt to the rest of these guys who are
(38:12):
all trying to find a contract either in the NBA
or you know, looking at the putting stuff on tape
for the global basketball community.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
So yeah, I can understand the frustration. I'd love someone
to put their name on it. Yeah, I'm not with
them anymore, so blank them.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
The whole thing about this is this is actually something
that the Lake It's good for the Lakers because this
is their final warning about how things could go if
they don't control the Browny situation right, Because if Bronni
winds up playing a lot for the Lakers and is
in the rotational bit or plays in games when minutes
(38:49):
should go to other guys, and doesn't play in the
G League, that's going to cause problems because as you saw,
he's not ready for the NBA. He needs to spend
his time in the G League. Now, could he be
up on the roster bit?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah, they did all favors for him and lebron and
keeping him on there. It's not a two way deal.
I get it. But if you treat Bronni like, hey,
he's earned it and he's there, guess what half the
team is gonna revolt. They are going to revolt. Now,
it's not a bad thing to take Bronny. Of course, hey,
they did lebron a favor. Teams do favors for players
all the time. They do. But this is their warning
(39:20):
to say, you better handle this the right way, and
that is time in the G League and no time
he doesn't earn on the court. Because if you do that,
it's not just gonna be the bottom four or five
guys in the roster who are like, hey, we need
some time too. It's gonna be half the team going
are we trying to win? Like why wasn't Austin Reeves
out there? Why was it Ruey Hachimoor out there? Why
why was this going on? And Bronny is out there
(39:42):
and suddenly half the team is fighting a battle and
it's this is where things can go sideways for the Lakers,
really really fast. I would take this as, hey, here's
your final warning you handle Bronny Wright or boy, this
season's gonna get really long and really sideways, really fast.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Well, it becomes he what are we doing here? Is
this a cool, touching made for a TV documentary? A
nice heartwarming father son tail? Remember because I'll be able
to tell him what he does things wrong, and he'll
be able to tell me dot dot dot not right
or however he phrased it. You know that those kinds
(40:18):
of things wouldn't say the word wrong for himself. But
or are you actually trying to win? Because in theory,
if you've got Anthony Davis and lebron James that we
say or to, you're still top fifteen player. I don't
know where if people put Lebron anymore, but ad with
what he'd put on last year, what he's doing with
the Olympic squad that he's you're supposed to be competing
(40:39):
and not just stripesing through an eighty two game season
as a feel good love story.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Things can get sideways really really quick.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
I want names, Jason, he too called Dan Waken.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Maybe Dan Waken get us names. They'll get that for us.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
He could do the rhyming game you always like, does
it rhyme with Schmanthony Schmavis? Whoa wait a minute, wait, no, no, no,
we're kidding.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
We're kidding. What you just did that?
Speaker 1 (41:07):
We're kidding.

doesn't because he's don't have to pay him for another
five years. Look how smart we are. And now it's
trade this guy. Get rid of this guy. All our
guys are hurt. Make all these big moves in the deadline.
All the meltdown is glad.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Do you want me to go back and read Mets
twitter from about a month and a half and though
that was a moment, would you like me to do that?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's a different world than it is, right, it's the
same damn thing. That's a different world just flipped. It's
one hundred and eighty degrees.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's like Deadpool's worlds shy Marvel six one six, two
completely different worlds, which you need to know that going in.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh, by the way, two completely.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Different worlds, fake worlds. You know, Marvel's not real, Jason.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Right, But the Mets areel and that's all that matters.
The Mets areel. The Mets are reel, and they are spectacular.
Look at this, Look at this, Look at this. This
is I want to buy so many Mets things tonight.
I want to buy so many things, so so many.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'll saw you a Phillies Mets jacket.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know you wouldn't You would think there would be
a lot of Mets Phillies stuff that would be really
cheap that I could find. No, No, London Series, not
not as much.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't think they printed very much and then they
burned whatever was left. You will have no remnants of
this game. There's no proof that ever existed.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So yeah, look, we'll have more baseball on the way up.
Big trades already going down today. It's like when Randy
Rose Raina got traded last night. It was suddenly, hey,
we better get on it because the trade deadline is
too I don't want to wait around. So lots of
teams are making smaller deals, bullpen deals, starting pitcher deals,
outfielder deals, former all stars from just a year ago.
We're getting traded. So there's a lot of great baseball
(04:02):
to get to. But we saw today two quarterbacks who
were up quote absolutely get paid earlier in the day
to a tongue of Iiloa and extension worth two hundred
and twelve million dollars. We thought it was coming for
him we heard that Hey two was gonna get paid.
It's just going to take a matter of time. It's okay,
(04:25):
four year, two hundred and twelve million dollar extension, largest
in franchise history. At the time, he was among the
league's highest paid quarterbacks. He was third behind Trevor Lawrence
and Joe Burrow. However, I hope you enjoyed the limelight
to him just not too long ago, Jordan Love and
the Packers, which you knew was gonna happen once two assigned.
(04:46):
He knew Jordan Love was going to get his deal.
Jordan Love four years, two hundred and twenty million dollar
extension with the Green Bay Packers. This money, fifty five
million a year, now matches Lawrence and Joe Burrow for
the highest in league history. And the first thing I'm
gonna say is, boy, you think of all the great
(05:06):
players in the game and all the great quarterbacks, and
you go, if I had to tell you who the
three highest paid guys in the history of the game are,
and it's Jordan Love, Joe Burrow, and Trevor Lawrence, you
would go, wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute,
something's wrong here, Because you know a couple of these
guys are good. One guy's a jag and I mean really,
he's just a guy. These are the guys now setting
the bar for what comes next in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Oh, it always comes back to next man up and
all eyes immediately turn over to Jerry Jones all in
and Dak prescotted, right. We talked about him yesterday and
his presser. But you know, you want to get this
done before we get to any substantive football. Yes, we're
in in pads and doing the initial parts of training camp,
(05:46):
but you know it all starts getting real quote unquote
next Thursday when you have the Hall of Fame game kickoff,
because now you have that that fuse lit for that
final run of days before we get to week one
of the season. So uh yeah, you want all those
distractions and issues because the Beat reporters are gonna ask
(06:08):
every day, right, And as much as you could say
you filter out the noise, you don't filter out the noise.
It's still there, it's still swirling, and now it's asked
and answered. You know, it's it's just interesting. Right with Tua,
you need in another year of all right, stay healthy,
let whatever your taekwondo moves were about getting hit and
rolling on the on the ground and all that worked.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Proof of concept.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Jordan love as much as you may have loved him
in the building, and you'd already kind of gone down
the road of we're gonna get there, you kind of
needed to see it in action for a year before
you signed the big deal. Uh And and now we're
at that point where it's just the price doing doing business.
And as much as people can, they can bemoan it
and they do all the comparisons they want. I immediately
(06:50):
saw the graphics of Tua against the career earnings of
Dan Marino. We live in a different world, people. I mean,
you know, we can do this till we're blue in
the face. These guys played plumbers and Dan Marino was
on the street corner just singing do wop, begging for change.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's kind of where we're at in here. But you know,
you were beginning a rocky when Frank's take you back,
DoD dude, he's got that lit the fire in the
trash can.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But look, I'll tell you this, because there's two big
takes off of this, and the first one is Tua
gets paid, right, he gets two hundred and twelve million dollars.
He gets the extension, and look, Tua is good, he's young,
he's ascending every year. He's getting better. Led the NFL
in passing yards last year. But still, don't you get
(07:39):
the sense that the Dolphins paid him kind of reluctantly.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Don't you get this?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Because I wouldn't be surprised if you find out that
they were on the phone trust still trying to get
Jalen Hurts five minutes before they tried to sign two.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Alright, we'll side to it to this deal, Jason.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I think with most of these quarterbacks not named Mahomes, Yeah,
there's a reluctance like no, no, no, this guy's gotta be
the next guy up at sixty million dollars?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hear, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't mean a reluctance in h boy, we gotta
pay this guy, because no, I mean a reluctance. And
do we still believe this guy is great? Are we
paying him to be great? There's reluctance in paying a
guy because you just don't want to. Look, we got
to pay fifty five million dollars a year to our quarterback,
and now we're screwed, because we are not gonna have
We're not gonna be able to keep a lot of players,
and we can't do that anymore. We don't have a
quarterback on a rookie contract, X, Y, and Z. That
(08:23):
goes along with it. There's that kind of reluctance. Then
there's the reluctance of are we sure that he's the guy?
Like I think you would still have people walking around
the building in Miami going, are we sure he's the guy?
You never get the sense of unadulterated love for a quarterback.
You get you, look, his teammates say great things about him,
but look, they're just as good as he was. Even
even a year and a half ago they were talking
(08:44):
about trying to move on, Hey should we move on?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
We do this, and and still.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I feel like there's a big part of it where, well,
we had to pay him. He's doing everything we ask
and he's getting better, and our team is kind of
built around him. He led the league in yards per
a tempt last year, even though he doesn't have a
strong arm. But still I just get the sense that, yeah,
we paid him, but we're still kind of nervous that
we're paying a guy that we think he's really this
good and all he's done is perform. But for whatever reason,
(09:11):
whether Richie doesn't have a strong arm or is he
the big leader everybody says he is, for whatever reason,
it just I just feel like, yeah, they still have
their their hesitancy, they still have their doubts, and we
really sure because all the love you get for a
guy getting paid like this, it should be how the
Bengals talk about Burrow and how the Chiefs talk about
(09:31):
my homes and how the Jets talk about Rogers and
all that. But instead you get a hey, yeah he's
he's our guy. You don't get a lot of front
office love, a lot of front office Hey, we really
like this guy and we think he's great. It's like,
oh yeah, yeah, he'll get paid. It was tough, it
worked out, and now you know, we hope he's this good.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Well some of it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The Jets they're pot committed, and Rogers will pout and
flame them on every podcast an interview he does if
he if they don't kiss his ass appropriately, as evidenced
by all the guys, he was able to strong arm
them into signing a year ago.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah about the podcast, I don't think he cares about
talking about too much football on his podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No, no, no, but that's the avenue for him.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
No, no, He's gonna give you everything else, but he's
gonna throw his jabs in if you actually ask him
a football question.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I don't think anybody actually wants to ask him about
football anymore. It's far more interesting and gets more coverage
outside of the sports bubble that we live in, right,
much larger world to all of it. Right, we've got
a large, large bubble, and then there's the larger community,
especially if you start bringing in conspiracy theories and politics. Right,
(10:40):
we know that's gonna happen. But with with Tuam No,
I think it's the same thing, the Trevor Lawrence thing.
That guy's gonna be great, and I know he got hurt,
and I know there were a lot of other circumstances,
but you're still at the point of doing a little
bit of handwringing of you know, is it the guy
that you expected him to be? At this point, I
think everybody would say, no, he's not right and and
(11:01):
hasn't been. That guy consistently keep going down. The other
guy's getting Jordan Love gave you a half a season
where he was great and he beat the snot out
of the Cowboys last year. That's enough for a go
fund yourself account of many millions of dollars from Green
Bay Packer.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Fans or shareholders as they call themselves.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So all of that to say, yeah, there's gonna be
some reticence with a lot of these guys, but it's
all right, what's our alternative we go back into the draft.
Are we gonna be bad enough to where we're drafting early,
or we're gonna have to give up all of our
draft capital for the next several years, like you're an
NBA team, Or do we have to hope and pray
(11:42):
that somewhat hits the open market, which generally only happens
if a team has hit on you know, the lottery
with a second quarterback or they suck.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So you know, to that end, that's that's where you're at.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You're but you publicly, you've got to say as glowing
as you can. I think with mc annual, he's just
kind of squirrely at the mic. So you're never gonna get,
if you know, a full praise run from him because
he's gonna, you know, have that dug moment. Uh, and
that's gonna be the end of any kind of long
monologue saluting his quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Now when it comes to Love, though, it's a little
bit different, right because because I look at I look
at to it and go to it. Got paid. He
was up, it was his turn. He was young, as
contract was coming, he's ascending all of this. Whether they
how reluctantly they paid him, they did. Jordan Love got
paid because he was one fifty eight point three in
Dallas in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's right. I mean he was really good.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And both these quarterbacks are really good, right, But Jordan
Love started out last year, first couple of games were
really good. Then he sort of plateaued a bit, and
midway through the season it was is he really our guy? Boy?
We did we really do all this with Aaron Rodgers
kicking the curb and maybe Jordan Love's not the guy?
And then the last half of the season, he's one
of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. Right, like,
(12:59):
twenty one touchdowns his last eight weeks. Okay, hey, we
got a good one. But he goes into Dallas one
fifty eight point three quarterback rating, three touchdowns, He is
amazing when you do that on the road in Dallas.
This is why he got paid. Any other reasons has it? Hey,
the dude went into Dallas and did that to the Cowboys,
(13:20):
which have a pretty good defense. Right, maybe not as
good as it was earlier in the year, but that's
a pretty good thing to go in on the road
and do that. It's time to pay this guy paid.
He was gonna get paid, but he got paid today
and this kind of money. And he's a top paid
quarterback in the NFL because he was one fifty eight
point three in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think the last thing is talking about the roster.
He also was leading, right, very young roster. Watson was hurt.
Aaron Jones not quite sure what happened in the month
that he missed, remember, because he went out in mid
November and he'd been pedestrian at best. Dylan was an afterthought.
And then all of a sudden, Aaron Jones was back
down the stretch and running like mania. Uh and whoever
(14:02):
a mania it is on a Friday night?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
And and suddenly you had balance back to that offense.
This year, they bring in Josh Jacobs expecting more of
the same. Uh And perhaps you know, the leaner, meaner
AJ Dillon.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
They get.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
A much better combination and with those young receivers ascending.
So yeah, you pay your quarterback and move forward. But yeah,
being able to put up one fifty eight to three
against Dallas, I mean that leads all all the sizzle reels.
That that led the negotiations right here here, what's what's
the where were we starting?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Here's the box score. You can see the important parts highlighted.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
We're just gonna show you video of him playing in
Dallas and then at the end, you're gonna you're gonna
write a blank check and we're gonna catch it.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
We watched that highlight video you put in up against Dallas,
and we didn't see Michael Parsons in once exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh that's when he got hurt and he left the game.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:56):

Speaker 2 (17:42):
It was it.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I don't watch the trailer.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Turn this trailer off. I don't want to know anything.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It was in the not ruining anything. It was in
the tysher stopping the song.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Like, oh my god, I'm ruining something with the movie.
I don't know what you're.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Ruining people's experience, not ruining any how I sound.

I was able to laugh out loud and not disturb
to any people.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Match Katie like at times the Deadpool and Wolverine. I'll
say this, and here's the thing. It was really funny.
It was really funny. Some of the stuff I'm surprised
they did. And this is for Deadpool. I'm surprised at
some of some of the humor, some of the stuff
they did. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were both really
really good. It was exactly it's a Deadpool movie, which
(18:56):
is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
But boy was it messy?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
All right? Oh ooh boy was it messy. I'm like, oh, okay.
As soon as as soon as it started and I
knew what the what the big what the plot was
gonna I'm like, oh, really.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, there's no way to do that without a lot
of mess to it. Come on, how do we get
this back over here?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All right?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
In shut this you can almost see it as they're filming.
It's like, what do we need to bridge this? All right?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, and the oh the other thing is look like
I said, don't go expecting hey, this is some clean
it's the third one, right, Whenever it's the third one
of something, you know it's going to be messy. But
like I said, really funny. They were really good. It's
a Deadpool movie. And the cameos were unbelievable. There's one
can I gasped out loud when I couldn't believe who
it was when I went, Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
My god, I couldn't and my daughter I already my
daughter knew that one.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Oh she did. I mean, I think I know which
one you're referring to.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, yeah, I could.
Speaker 2 (19:54):

Paul was my two dads.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I didn't want to Stacy Keenan and Greg Evigan. Full
House was Saggott, Stamos and Coolier.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh so Stame was okay. Yeah, again, two shows I
didn't watch, but that's okay.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
And then he was the key Parrish on General Hospital.
And now evidentally he's in some new movie, new show
with Kerry Washington.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't I don't want Ty Shirt to know that
I didn't that I didn't see Stamos in Full House.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He'd be very upset. I'm upset that job by you.
That was Friday Night staple.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Between that, Reginald Bell Johnson when he was finished saving
Nakotomy Plaza.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He was a Chicago cop by day.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
The spoiler.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
See that was in the nineties when I was going
out having fun. So that's when you were watching television.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I was prepping to do card shows to help pay
for my education.
Speaker 1 (21:11):

I did not. I did you know? I was never
a big let's go to McDonald's at the end of
the night for a I was never that guy. I
would go to White Castle, but McDonald's was like, eh,
I don't know why the road I just never was. I,
oh wait, I'm McDonald's rest of the time. You know,
it's like hey, okay, but like that, I just wasn't
a big, Hey, let's go to McDonald's end of the night.
I just never never have been. I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm weird. I'm unpredictable.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, I mean you're that's the thing, right, you got
to keep some unpredictability. But now you we can find
you the same McDonald's booth, your sad, little little space
in the corner every day, and if you're looking for
Jason Smith, go find him at McDonald's, just sitting there
with the big hot mocha sipping, watching the world go

by as he sits in that booth by himself. Shows

to breakfast and beginning of.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Lunch, swinking and raising his eyebrows as Grimace walks back.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Hey, dude, the Mets winning percentage is now seven eighteen
in the Grimace era. I mean, really, you could talk
about no tani all you want. Mets didn't pay a dime.
At some point you got to pay your tone exchange.
There is in there, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Come on, he came out to McDonald's paying them again
for sponsorship and stuff. No, because they had one for
a long time and then it stopped. I think they
brought it back in twenty twenty four. No, Mets could
just buy Grimace if they wanted to. He just kind
of check and say, what do you mean we need Grimace?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Okay, well I don't know a couple of million.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Sure, here you go. He's got a lot more.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Now he's got It's like Jordan Love to a tongue
of Ila and me it's a proof of concept that
you you know, you now have to pay the piper.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
But if you don't.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Sign Toua, if you don't sign Jordan Love, somebody else
is gonna want them. If the Mets don't buy Grimace,
like do other teams? Like, is Grimas gonna do the
same thing for me? Eas he did foreverybody? I know
he's gonna do what he did for the Mets. Chris
may be a one trick, good, great pony person.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Why would you say that, right?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Not all quarterbacks fit in another spot, right, I mean,
I mean Tua could go to the Jets and suck
because the Jets suck, right, or Jordan Love get away
from forty years of continuity and stability and all those
things of owning Chicago.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Like they're doing good things though, but you know he's
done good things and.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Concept, they gotta lock him up to a long term deal.
When this goes to hell, there's gonna be other teams competing.
Otherwise mccheese and company might be on the road for
competitor all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Philly, it ain't Rob McElhenny. I mean he got you.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Know, he's part of this deadpool universe or whatever. But
you know, he's Philly's favorite son right now. So he
gets kicked out and Grimace could come and replace him
just as easily a rival goes over. It's kind of
like Saquon Barkley leaving the Giants and going over to
the Eagles. That's just killing the front office and ownership.
Remember that's what hard Knock said. But Grimas could be
(24:26):
that guy now that you got a seven eighteen winning percentage.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
See you're saying all that stuff, and I'm just thinking,
is Mayor mccheese his agent is the Hamburglar his agent, Like,
I don't know who if you were, If you Grimace
had to have.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
An eighty, who would it be.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Well, the Hamburglar would be running stuff for boxers, Okay,
and MMA guys, because he's absconding with the cash.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Wow, Mike Harmon, MMA, pretty shady, that's Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Well, I mean Dana White doesn't want to pay anybody, right,
and then boxing, I mean history is littered with the
guys that got fleeced. I mean, Don King's still there
waving at you all these years later.

(25:25):
one wildcard of the National League.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
The opening ceremonies of the Olympics was today, and there's
there's a lot there's a lot of stuff. There's a
lot of cool stuff. There's stuff that makes you go,
what the hell? Uh, let me lead off with this.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
There's a lot of third rail stuff too. My man. There.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
As impressive as it was, it was just way too
bleeping long. I mean, come on, man, I mean you
got to bring home the opening ceremonies in three hours.
You can't give me some four hour bloated thing where
it's like really, because here's what it was. I started
today ten o'clock today was the beginning of the opening ceremonies, right,
(26:04):
so I'm watching it here at home. I filled in
on AM five seventy from twelve to two today because
Fred Rogan and Rodney Pete World. Thanks for the invite,
so I did they called me. I'm sorry, but I.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Don't get you to do you see the tweet that
Jason put out thanking the whole bow.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, that's good. I thank them.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I thank them for today and you guys for tonight.
I'll thank you guys at the end of the show tonight.
Like I go whenever I fill in there, I always
thank you guys here at the end of the show too.
Don't make it seem like I don't note to self.
Make sure to thank everybody at the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So ten o'clock, you know, I'm up and I'm doing
stuff and I'm prepping getting up, and the opening ceremony started.
We finished the show at two, and I waited another
fifteen minutes because we had fifteen minutes before we had
to go to see Deadpool. I'm going, they still haven't
lit the flame. Oh come on, man, this is this
is some kind of honesty where it's you got you.
(26:56):
You can't just give me this whole bloated all this.
I'm like, come on, you gotta give me something, man,
you gotta say at least okay, there's an endgame coming.
When they had the thing with the horse, I'm like, Oh,
this is gonna be really cool. Nope, it was that
horse for about thirty five minutes. And then now we're
onto something else that Oh, here's someone with the with
the torch and it's in the louver and they're running
around and I'm going they haven't even gotten to actual
(27:18):
people without masks on carrying the torch. Shed how close
can we really beat to the end. It was just
as impressive as parts it was. I'm like, come on, man,
you can't give me like a five hour opening ceremonies
for the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
My man.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It got to the point where you had Tariko basically
say I don't even know where the torch is going anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
No, they said it was.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
At one point they said it was lit like two
hours before it was lit. When the person came up
and lit, it was like, I forget where it was.
And then the spark the fireworks went off and it
was all and whoever was on the air set and
the torch is lit, and they didn't say anything else
about them, like the torch is lit. Then they go
through other stuff and they show the torch going through
other places still being brought through France. I'm like, oh no, no,
(27:59):
they really jump the gun, there by saying that the
torch was lit, because the torch clearly is not lit,
and we're gonna sit here for a while longer before
we see the torchs actually get lit.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah. Many What the hell am I watching? Moments?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
As I tried to catch up after my early Deadpool viewing,
I hadn't missed very much.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I hadn't gotten very far.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So, you know, so a couple of boats, and then
depending on the size of the the group coming in,
you had to you know, you're gonna need a bigger boat.
You know it was full jaws. We need we need
several hundred you know, room for several hundred here. Okay,
you guys get the larger pontoon like boat rolling through here.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah. So, and then all sorts of weird stuff like
what is this? What am I watching? Like? I get it.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
There's some pomp and circumstance and pageantry. I like the
little lay miss thing and Gohira and I don't know
what the Marie Antoinette thing was, the last supper thing, Like,
there's all sorts of stuff. I'm like, can we talk
with the creative people and wonder what.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
The hell were you doing?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But you know, all in, uh, the ceremonies done, and
we're onto athletic competitions, many of which you've never seen
or heard of before.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I mean, this is like watching the Snyder cut of
the opening ceremonies, like, oh no, no, we have the opening ceremonies,
but I can't tell the whole story. You need five
and a half hours of if I really wanted to know,
I know the Eiffel Tower, okay, great to said, yes,
I get it, the Arcta triumph Y.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's like, okay, okay, okay, I good tourist thing. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I mean, come on, man, I mean I don't need
the Snyder cut.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I could get here. We are live at the catacombs.
I mean, just keep on going.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
You should You should be able to tell me the
story of France in three hours what I need to
know for the Olympics. You should tell me what I
need to know about France in three hours. I mean
that should not be impossible.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
With all the extra US guys carrying the torch.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Listen, helping France out in this in this Chicken McNuggets
world where Hey, just give me something to get by.
This is the Olympics, right, give me what I need
to know for the next couple of weeks. I have
to go all the way back in time. And then
in fifteen fourteen when Napoleon was able too, come on,
give me the McNuggets version here, give me, give me
three hours of it. I'll be good.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And Tony Parker couldn't pick up the pace a little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I really thought Wenby was going to get it at
the end, like he was gonna be She's just gonna
reach up.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Now to a guy who always orders chicken McNuggets whenever
he goes to McDonald's and even sometimes Burger King, they
don't know what he's talking about. It's special delivery. Steve
to Seger with what's going on in the wide world
of sports as we just talked about here the last
few minutes, all eyes on the Mets, who are now
the number one wild card in the National League.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Steve O.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
So, what happened to the Mets starting pitcher today? Did
he finish the game or he.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Didn't finish the game?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
He went He went five and two thirds innings in
his first night back, and the Mets won, and and
he got hurt again.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yes, yes, and he got.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
I was expecting segment one tonight. You know, the Mets
can't have nice things.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
What's the determination comes out by Monday, Steve, we'll be
able to leave with it.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Then we've got a lot of good baseball to get to.
First off, the two quarterback items. Today, the Miami Dolphins
gave quarterback to a tongue of Iloa a four year
contract extension worth about one hundred and sixty seven million
dollars guaranteed over two ten mill total. He's entering the
final year of his rookie deal. Packers quarterback Jordan Love
(31:20):
was not practicing until he got a new contract. His
rookie deal ends after this season. He got a new
four year contract tonight. I'll say two hundred and twenty
two million dollars, including a seventy five million dollar signing bonus.
By the way, Lions kicker Michael Badgeley is out for
the season with a torn hamstring. The Mets won their
fifth game in a row, eight to four over Atlanta.
(31:42):
The Braves have lost six in a row. J D
Martinez in a Grand Slam. He had three hits, code
Senga in his season debut after the shoulder injury. Left
in the six with a calf stra and he had
nine strikeouts one walk. Boston comes back with three runs
bottom of the eighth and beat the Yankees nine to seven.
Aaron Judge of New York did hit his third sixth
home run of the season. It was a blast to
(32:03):
center field at Fenway Pack four hundred and seventy feet
Toronto with a run bottom of the ninth, beat Texas
six ' five, ending the Rangers five game winning streak.
The White Sox have lost eleven in a row coming
into tonight. Well, it's now a final ten nothing the
Mariners have won at the White Sox, so make it
twelve straight as the White Sox in this one, well,
(32:26):
let's just say they weren't in it. Early eight runs
in the top of the first for the Maritors, including
three straight homers. Remember when we said they had the
Carlton Fisk record of twenty seven and seventy two, it's
twenty seven and seventy nine. Now, I don't know who
Warren number eighty in White Sox history, but we're getting there.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Oh, they're gonna be Carlton Fisk and Jerry Rice.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
We're gonna get to Jerry Reinstort's age, which is eighty eight.
They're pretty fast.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
The Marlins lead at Milwaukee in the top of the
ninth six ' two Nationals tied at Saint Lewis six
to six in the eighth. The Astros are shutting out
the Dodgers five nothing in the bottom of the eighth.
LA first baseman Freddie Freeman out due to a family matter.
Wins already for Kansas City and Minnesota. Cincinnati one in
ten innings, Cleveland a winner at Philadelphia three to one.
(33:16):
The Padres won their six straight, beating Baltimore on a
two run homer in the top of the ninth inning
six to four. Jerikston profar the hero. It was his
second home run of the night. The MLB trade deadline
is Tuesday. The Rays traded pitcher Zach Eflin to the Orioles.
The Phillies acquired outfielder Austin Hayes from Baltimore. The Dodgers
(33:38):
traded picture James Paxton to Boston. And Yes, the Olympics
opening ceremony was today in Paris, in the rain on
the river send, not in a stadium. You know I
mentioned on the show before you guys, they really tried
a lot in this. I mean, you're right, it was
four hours. There's no escaping that. I'm I'm surprised they
(33:59):
pulled it off. And I'm also not surprised, as you
kind of referenced in there. Wait, you're saying something that
the French made artistically is just flat weird.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yes, the answer was.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yes, weird and to some patently offensive.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Oh absolutely, I in no way endorse everything I saw today. However,
by the end and when you get Celine Dion of
all people singing and Edith Poff's song at the Eiffel Tower, Wow,
that was a sensational finish.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
Tirac dot Com Studios. Coming up next, we got more
NFL in the way again. We got baseball trades of breakdown.
But boy, an anonymous player has just tried to light
the Lakers on fire and comes to Kenny mcdumbo.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
It's anonymous.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
That's coming up right.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Here, Jason Ike Fox Sports Radio. 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 (35:12):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live Fromthtirack dot com studios, where I'll tell
you anonymous players. Anonymous players. One has decided to try
to light the Lakers on fire. This was first reported
(35:34):
by the US Sun earlier today and you saw it
probably earlier today on Undisputed and an anonymous, unnamed Lakers
player talked about how upset he was with how things
went in Summer League earlier this month because of the
way Bronnie James was treated by the team. This quote
(35:59):
from Steve Brenner, Dan Amian Burchard or the US Son
from the player quote, The attention he attracted was very
frustrating for the players to see, and his alleged star
treatment caused friction among the team, which went zero to
five to start the tournament. That kind of tension didn't
help the group of players build chemistry, noting they had
nothing against Bronnie. Quote, you could feel there was no
(36:19):
unity between this group of guys, as Bronnie was the
main guy. The others didn't feel that it was right
and that he deserved that. Dealing with Bronnie's attention and treatment.
Plenty of the other guys trying to make the roster
for next season couldn't show their best side and show.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Their A game.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
So basically everything you thought was gonna happen with the
Lakers when Bronnie started playing this Anonymous players said, this
is what it was like. He got all the attention
in summer League. He had all the oxygen, he had
all the chances to play. Not a lot of the
other guys got chances to play and show they belonged,
and Bronnie got preferential treatment. You know, I know this
story comes out from an anonymous player and here it's
(36:57):
reported the way through. But I see this and I go, is, really,
do you think this is not how it let like
like there's anything in this.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
It sounds so outlandish and there's no way that happened.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
No, this sounds about how I expected things to go
and how it probably went earlier this month for Summer League. Yeah,
as well as he may handle it personally, We've said
it all along that you know, this is message been
has been terrible all the way through, and how it
got handled and you know, downplayed, down play, no, no,
just just own, this is where it was headed and
(37:29):
run with it. And for summer league, uh yeah, that
the coverage of it all, you know, from the larger communities,
like you didn't get a lot other than you know,
connect a bit, right when he had a couple of
big games, you got some highlights and you got some run.
He got lucky, you know early on that he was
overshadowed by Brownie James because he didn't start out Summer
(37:50):
league quite so well. So got a little bit of
a free pass there. But for anybody else, yeah, there
it was Bronnie and and the rest of the squad, right,
and here's everybody, you know, when they do introductions, here's
the six guys we announce and the rest of your
twenty twenty four while. I mean, that's how I think
probably felt to the rest of these guys who are
(38:12):
all trying to find a contract either in the NBA
or you know, looking at the putting stuff on tape
for the global basketball community.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
So yeah, I can understand the frustration. I'd love someone
to put their name on it. Yeah, I'm not with
them anymore, so blank them.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
The whole thing about this is this is actually something
that the Lake It's good for the Lakers because this
is their final warning about how things could go if
they don't control the Browny situation right, Because if Bronni
winds up playing a lot for the Lakers and is
in the rotational bit or plays in games when minutes
(38:49):
should go to other guys, and doesn't play in the
G League, that's going to cause problems because as you saw,
he's not ready for the NBA. He needs to spend
his time in the G League. Now, could he be
up on the roster bit?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah, they did all favors for him and lebron and
keeping him on there. It's not a two way deal.
I get it. But if you treat Bronni like, hey,
he's earned it and he's there, guess what half the
team is gonna revolt. They are going to revolt. Now,
it's not a bad thing to take Bronny. Of course, hey,
they did lebron a favor. Teams do favors for players
all the time. They do. But this is their warning
(39:20):
to say, you better handle this the right way, and
that is time in the G League and no time
he doesn't earn on the court. Because if you do that,
it's not just gonna be the bottom four or five
guys in the roster who are like, hey, we need
some time too. It's gonna be half the team going
are we trying to win? Like why wasn't Austin Reeves
out there? Why was it Ruey Hachimoor out there? Why
why was this going on? And Bronny is out there
(39:42):
and suddenly half the team is fighting a battle and
it's this is where things can go sideways for the Lakers,
really really fast. I would take this as, hey, here's
your final warning you handle Bronny Wright or boy, this
season's gonna get really long and really sideways, really fast.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Well, it becomes he what are we doing here? Is
this a cool, touching made for a TV documentary? A
nice heartwarming father son tail? Remember because I'll be able
to tell him what he does things wrong, and he'll
be able to tell me dot dot dot not right
or however he phrased it. You know that those kinds
(40:18):
of things wouldn't say the word wrong for himself. But
or are you actually trying to win? Because in theory,
if you've got Anthony Davis and lebron James that we
say or to, you're still top fifteen player. I don't
know where if people put Lebron anymore, but ad with
what he'd put on last year, what he's doing with
the Olympic squad that he's you're supposed to be competing
(40:39):
and not just stripesing through an eighty two game season
as a feel good love story.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Things can get sideways really really quick.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
I want names, Jason, he too called Dan Waken.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Maybe Dan Waken get us names. They'll get that for us.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
He could do the rhyming game you always like, does
it rhyme with Schmanthony Schmavis? Whoa wait a minute, wait, no, no, no,
we're kidding.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
We're kidding. What you just did that?
Speaker 1 (41:07):
We're kidding.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
We have a big NBA story coming up next Fox
