Please give this part you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, Welcome inside final hour tonight, the Jason Smith Show
with my bass friend Mike Harmon, live from the Tirack
dot Com studios. Tirac dot com. I'll help you get
there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free roadhas and
protection over ten thousand recommended installers. Tiraq dot com is

(00:49):
the way tire buying should be. And I mean it,
you know, look really quick before we get to the
Patrick Mahomes story. Uh, it's embarrassing as hell. The Olympics
France spent one and a half a billion dollars or
the equivalent of one and a half a billion dollars
to clean up the sand river. Yeah, and the triathlon

(01:10):
has to be postponed because the sent river is still
too dirty yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Now, can't put that alongside my our last summer right
by Abba.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, walks along the saying I'm telling you, dancey, no,
we can't do it. Oh boy, I love walking along
the scent.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Just don't go in, don't go in there, go in
and here's I here's a gas mask.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I mean, I know we joked around about this, but
I think it would have been better because it's an
embarrassing story for Paris to say, yeah, we spent all
this money and the scent is still too dirty, so
we have to push the triathlon, hopefully get it cleaned
up and have the triathlon in a day.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
In a day, we're throwing oxy clean in. What are
we doing with oxy clean? It'll take the particles out.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Do we have any scientists with really low morals that
we could give a dumb trucks full of money too,
that they're gonna say, yes, the scent is safe. I'm
sure there's plenty of Probably, look go swim in the
said it is safe instead, I mean it just say
the thread of sharks is too much Like in under Paris,

(02:13):
I say the threat because then you're like, whoa, we
can't have me. Really we got sharks. Right, we got sharks.
Can we send a couple of mechanical sharks? You, Minnie Bruce,
trust me under Paris? Under Paris, well, I'll let that go.
It is we are in safe harbor, so it is okay,
okay oher said was on the air. Okay, all right?

(02:40):
Then looks and you said, look under Paris. Great horror
movie about sharks under the set, which is awesome. Right,
it's it's trust me, it's a really good movie. And
it ends. The ending will blow your mind. Try the ending.
You're like, oh my goodness, what the hell just happened?
Uh if you say there are sharks people, Hey, nothing,
we can do their sharks there? Oh okay, when don't

(03:01):
we get the sharks out? Well, give us a day
or two, we'll get the sharks out. I Meanwhile, you
spend that time trying to clean the sin and then
you say, okay, sharks are gone. All right, great, you
think we're lying, and you screen Under Paris for everybody
so they could watch it. I think, oh, you got
to make sure they make sure there's no sharks there.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
All right, that's great, And then all of a sudden
it's a scene from Deep Blue Sea and there's Michael Rappaport,
Samuel Jackson. Then you have and then I get back
into my Mama Mia with stelling'scar.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
You know, you know you've lost, You've lost the plot.
What it would be would be a music montage with
that heavy metal band from the opening ceremony here out
playing all of the different on the different lattices. And
that's been there, there's your montage. I'm getting rid of
the sharks.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
But again, just from the practicality, not to take it
away from this beautifully absurd premise that we don't have
in the milk, is how the hell is it going
to get fixed in a day? You alreadys been at
one point five billion dollars estimated estimated. You know, it's
kind of like when you get a contractor to show up.
What's it gonna cost? It's ten thousand, what's the final bill?

(04:06):
Twenty seven thousand? Where's the sample from my bath tub?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
You tell everybody that's from the Sin, and we're gonna
clear it for everyone.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
We have put it through four different filters and the
greatest system ever comprised.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
How romantic is the sin? Look at that three eyed
octopus right there, that's outstanding. Oh, it's really great. That's
really great. Yeah, this is this is now the story
of the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Right, we had the opening ceremonies that are still being
debated on many levels in different component parts that We've
had some great competitions, right, had some great rugby and
early returns for the women's basketball team, men's team with
Kevin Durant dominating women's soccer with a four one, all

(04:51):
of these things. But now it's all about water quality.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, I know we can't have a clean water. Wait
a minute, what but you spent how much money? At
one point five billion dollars. You gotta find whoever that
was in charge of that and go what did that
person do with the money? What did they do with
the money? Because the scent is still dirty. This guy's
like on the riviera going, oh boy, sucker, he's built
his whole complex, like he's vector from Despicable Me. Are

(05:19):
you a shark swimming around? Are you doing any work
on it?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yes, but doesn't let you do anything. No, No, we're
doing everything underwater. It's fine. It'll be clean, trust me,
don't worry. Everything is gonna be great. You'll be able
to swim in the sind don't worry about it right now.
You think the mayor's going for test right now. I
was swimming in that a month ago. You test me
right now.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I gotta say it's probably being the most nerve wracking
month for the mayor ever, not because of security, not
because of the water.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You think you can just the water. You think she's saying, hey,
can you door dash some penicillin to me? I need
I need some penicillin. I'm just gonna drink it right
out of the door now to take it. Ju she's
gonna drink it. I just give it to me. So
we'll continue to monitor this as we go along. But
with all the quarterback news the last few days, to

(06:05):
a tongue of Iiloa Jordan Love both getting near identical
fifty five million dollar a year contracts, the big question
coming off of this was going to be, okay, boy,
that's more money a year than Patrick Mahomes is getting.
Oh hang on a second, wait a minute, Patrick, are
you underpaid? And Mahomes talked about it today and he said, no,
I'm not underpaid. Look, he signed a ten year, four

(06:27):
hundred and fifty million dollar contract. A couple of years ago,
and he said, no, I like what I'm doing. We
do the right things with my money, and we can
move stuff around a little bit, and I can convert things.
It helps us sign players. And no, I don't feel
underpaid at all. And it's hard to say I'm underpaid
at forty five million dollars a year. But the thing
is he's not underpaid. But it's for a different reason

(06:48):
than you think. All right, cause you look at it
now and go, oh boy, look at this. Yeah, Patrick
Mahomes forty five million a year. How is to a
getting ten million dollars a year more? How is Jordan
Love getting ten million dollars a year more? People want
a default to that. Well, yeah, Mahomes is like Brady,
He's taking less. No, no, no, Patrick Mahomes because of
what he's done in his career, continues to do, and

(07:08):
what he has accomplished and will accomplish. Patrick Mahomes is
going to cash every cent of that four hundred and
fifty million dollar deal that he signed. He is getting
four hundred and fifty million dollars in some way, shape
or form, at least from the Chiefs. Maybe they restructured
a couple of years going to extend you But he's
getting that four hundred and fifty million.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
But the report is that through the first four years
of the deal, he's receiving almost half of that money. Yeah,
so like it's pretty nicely front loaded and it's not
like he's not eventually going to get, you know, more
money thrown on top of the backend. But just deal
with what where we are around now. Yes, he's going.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
To collect every bit of that four hundred and fifty
million dollars. Are two in Jordan Love in five years
going to sign a two hundred and forty million dollar contract.
Probably not. Maybe maybe Jordan Love turns into an absolute
superstar or two or turns into an absolute superstar and
they sign a bigger extension in four years. But you're

(08:08):
talking about two guys. Are gonna be over thirty? Are
they going to be great? Maybe? But maybe not. They're
getting two hundred and ten million dollars a year, two
hundred ten million dollars from their respective team, right, Love
is getting two twenty and two is getting two ten.
That's the number they're getting in five years. I don't
know what they're gonna get. Are they gonna be in
the league maybe they're stars, maybe they're not, but it's

(08:29):
a risk. And if their teams so we know this
is what they're getting. You talk about Mahomes is getting
four or fifty million. These guys are getting two hundred
and ten and two hundred and twenty million. Mahomes is
still winning because you don't know what this money's gonna
be for them in four or five years when they
come up. And plus, if their teams thought these guys
were really that great, they would have gotten ten year

(08:51):
deals as well, right if they If the Dolphins really
thought Tua was that great, he would have gotten more
than four years. If the Packers really thought Jordan Love
was going to be this good, they would have given
him more than four years. But in reality, how do
you deal with these two? Okay, here's a four year deal.
If they have a down year next year, we're still
gonna go back in the year after that, So okay,
so that's two years. Maybe they bounce back if they're

(09:13):
really bad, we try to get out of a deal
with two years left on it. That's not that big.
That's not that big a thing to try to do.
So they know, hey, we have them at least the
next two years. If we're trying to get out a
deal at the end with two years, when we frontloaded
some of their money, we can get out of it.
If they thought they were that great. Instead it would
be none. O. Here's ten years and five hundred million.

(09:33):
That's what it would have been for two and that's
what would have been for Jordan Love. But these teams know,
we don't know how good they are, so we're only
comfortable giving a four year deal. Mahomes gets a ten
year deal, he gets four or fifty million. He's not underpaid.
He's going to get more money than anybody else in
the NFL with his current deal.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, I think it comes back to you know, Mahomes
talked about the Patriots and the structure for all the
years of the Brady and giving them flexibility, which it does.
You know, the Patriots you can always argue about how
they actually spent or if they spent that money, and
for the Chiefs will watch over the years, you know,
the same kind of scrutiny. But in the interim they're

(10:11):
outliers to it all right. Remember the big criticism for
Brady was why is he signing for that kind of money?
Look at what the market's doing. He's ruining it for
everybody else. Like no, No, you'd go into the team
and you say, hey, well you do the Brady deal.
We really could build around you. And every one of
those players, you know what, they said, No, show me
the money, just like Tua was on the practice field,

(10:33):
show me the money. So nobody's taken that deal. Likewise,
Mahomes the ten year. He's the outlier that way of hey,
let's do this the long erm way because who else?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Who else are you going to do that with? Who else?
You might have thought about it for Burrow?

Speaker 3 (10:47):
But then he's gotten Money's got back to back years, right, right,
he's your next game. And the other guys where you
would have looked at, like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, they
run too much, so you're worried about the body breaking down, right,
So the potential so going to a ten year doesn't
make any Mahomes some elusivity, But for the most part,
he's hanging out in the pocket, right, and if your

(11:09):
offensive line's up to task and he's quick at getting
rid of the ball, well there you go. Proof of concept.
You've gone to all these Super Bowl runs and we've
seen the greatness they're in. So yeah, he's the outlier
there for both Love and Tua hopefully nice long careers.
And this is the start and they're gonna get that
second Monster contract and it continues. But history has not

(11:29):
been so kind unless you're Kirk Cousins. Yeah, you got
a few guys where they've been able to make it work.
But that's been for Cousins.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's been three years or three years, and it's been
three another three, another three here, I mean, and whatever
this one becomes, this will be one year with the Falcons.
Here's a bunch of two years.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Right, here's a bunch of guaranteed money here, and then
he'll re up with somebody else, Jets, and then we'll.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Go from there. See he eventually gets to the Jets.
But screw it, No, screw you. You want a few
years ago, you just wanted us to drive up the price.
You go to Minnesota, can stick it. Wow, that's how
they're gonna do it. You still have harbored great resentment, guys.
Aaron Rodgers was sixteen touchdowns and twenty four picks last year.
Oh right, right, right, hey, Kirk, let's let's let's let

(12:11):
let's talk about that. You just wait till he gets
hurt again. Stop. You guys have to trade back for
at Broncos quarterback.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Look at that, No, I think that Broncos quarterback. See
what he did there? I know I already did there.
I three guys are having trouble at Broncos practice. You
know it's Broncos practice, and maybe without Drew Brees, the super.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Genius tag goes to lowercase. Well, it's funny you say
that because in about a half hour, boy, did we
get a great hot take from NFL insider Jason Locke
and four with us about the Broncos quarterback situation. Something
that is so stunning. I think you put it out
in the universe and it's gonna happen and it's crazy.
We got that for you coming up. That's in about

(12:57):
a half hour. But straight ahead, the US men's basketball
team had their big win. Steve Kerr team USA dealing
with controversy about Jason Tatum Halliburton. We're gonna calm everybody
down and tell you how we're gonna steamroll of the
gold medal and who's back We're gonna do it on

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
The Jason Smith Show with the Mike Carbon Live from
the Tireck dot Com Studios. One of the most underrated
rock albums of all time.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
It starts off with Bad Seamstress Blues, which is the
best song, and then it goes right into Gypsy Road.
Oh man, that's a look at you see Bad Seams Blues.
That's my cut. That's one of my top five favorite
rock songs of all time. Oh, it's so good. Anyway,
big controversy with Team USA basketball. We can't get enough
of the fact that Jason Tatum didn't play in the

(16:16):
United States first game they beat Serbia. Steve Kerr had
to apologize to Jason Tatum for not putting in the
game and then to publicly say today that, Hey, I
told Jason, don't worry. I know you couldn't get in
this game. I'm gonna get you in the next one.
It's a promise. It's tough, but Jason handled it really well.

(16:38):
I talked to him.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
Today before the game that they may play out this
way just with Kevin coming back and the lineups that
I wanted to get to. But that'll change, you know.
Jason's gonna play. Every game is going to be different
based on matchups. He's a total pro. He's you know,
first team All NBA three years in a row. I
felt like an idiot not playing him. But you know,

(17:01):
a forty minute game, you can't play more than ten,
you really can't. And you know, so I just I
think he's He's an amazing guy, great player and handled
it beautifully, and you know he'll be back out their
next game.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
So we promised Jason Tatum will play. He actually went
on to say, I know your next question, who does
that mean is not playing? I'm not going to tell you.
First things first, when it comes to guys not playing
in games, when you get to the end of a game,
it's a blowout. Sometimes you have players these they all
have egos. Do you want to go win? You haven't
played at all. Do you want to go win for
the last two and a half minutes. No, it's a

(17:36):
it's a big blow because every every star athlete is
is a little bit selfish and I'd rather not play
than you put me out there for the last two
and a half minutes of a game. It looks like
I can only trust you when the score is not there.
So that's why Jason Tatum didn't play the second part.
And this is what people are missing is that this
team is impossible to make everybody happy on because you

(18:00):
have three levels of players that all need to play right.
You have the peak players, the players who are playing now,
they're the peak of their of the of their talent.
Guys like Jason Tatum, guys like Joel embiid Hey, the
best they're going to be, Anthony Davis. You have the
peak guys. You also have an older level of players
who can really show you something in twenty twenty five

(18:21):
minutes a game Lebron Kevin Durant which you saw yesterday,
Steph Curry. So the older guys have to play because
they show you we're still great when you only have
to count that's for twenty twenty five minutes tonight, and
you have to refer.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
To that history the greatest because they signed up for
this right you've made you've made deals done.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
And the pressure is not all on you. It's different.
And then you have the role players because like you know, hey,
is bam Adebayo one of the top twelve players in
the game. No, but does he need to play. Yeah,
does Derek White need to play because he's a better defender. Yeah,
So the guys, you have three levels of guys. Not
everybody's going to be happy, but I will tell you this,

(19:02):
they have absolutely, one hundred percent the right guy to
bring the gold medal back in Steve Kerr, and the
US is gonna win the gold medal and at the
end we're gonna go. Man, he was able to navigate
such a difficult mindfield because there's big politics involved, unlike
any other team there, because he's got to go back
to the NBA to coach after and it's a big deal. Lebron, Steph,

(19:24):
whoever it is that plays or doesn't play. Guys are
gonna have to sit. Guys are not gonna play every game.
He's gonna have to pick other guys. Look, Halliburton didn't
play either. But because Tatum they won the title. He
gets all the big spotlight on this. But he's got
to handle this and there's nobody better because he's handling
it right now. Is Jason Tatum happy? No, of course not.

(19:45):
But as Jason Tatum said, I'm really pissed. I can't
believe this. I'm really but no, Steve Kerr talked to him.
I said to him, Hey, it may play out this way,
and but you're gonna get back in. Don't worry about it.
Has Jason Tatum been good leading up to their opening game, No,
he's not. He's kind of lost his role a little bit.
Maybe this is something that motivates him when he gets

(20:06):
back in. Hey he's a six man. He plays really well.
This is also Steve Kerr being straight with him, saying, listen,
you might not play today, and all athletes, whether they
like or don't like something, respect when a coach is
straight with them. Steve Kerr is not gonna lie to anybody.
He's not gonna say he could throw him under the
bustock rivers. I mean, just think about some other people
that could be coaching this team and imagine how sideways

(20:27):
this can go because they're not ready for it. Steve
Kerr's got the cachet with the championships, He's got the
relationship with the players, and the players know, Hey, he
may not like it, but if you are straight with
me and you are truthful and we're winning, what can
I really say? Because then I just look like I
have sour grapes and I'm mad about things now. It
is early in the tournament, but so far you've already

(20:50):
tried to navigate what's happening. You've had games you almost
lost in qualifying because Steve Kerr didn't want to be
so abrupt with some of the players he needed to
pull off the court. So he's really trying to thread
an impossible needle where it's not keep everybody happy, but
just keep everybody focusing on the same page enough to
win the gold medal. This is the toughest roster to

(21:11):
manage as far as that goes, because you have those
three levels of players that all need to see the floor.
I mean, we're gonna win and it's gonna be Wow.
Steve Kerr was a master in trying to figure in
figuring out playing time and how to keep everybody on
the same page. And they're gonna say, do you want
this job in perpetuity? Do you want this like Mike
Ryzevsky had it forever long? Do you want this job

(21:34):
in twenty twenty eight? Do you want it twenty thirty two?
This is your USA Basketball as you for as long
as you want it. You could be eighty five years old.
We still want you to coach it because this is
a new era of players and you have Generation Z
is starting to come of age as far as being stars,
because now the best players are twenty five, twenty seven
years old. And he is handling this in an incredibly

(21:55):
great way. And yes, he's living five minutes at a time.
Can only live to the next game. Don't worry about
here and here and here. It's let me get to
the next game. A couple other people aren't gonna play.
I'll talk to them. And he's gonna navigate it the
best way. There's nobody that can navigate it like Steve
kirk Ka. And again we're gonna win, and we're gonna say, man,
this is good. This is good. But look at look
at what Steve Kurr did in managing the egos, figuring

(22:17):
out the best players to be out there and and
and keeping everybody as focused as they could be. That's
an incredible job. And he is the right guy. Well,
you throw up the managing of egos.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
So that's where I began is that's been his career
as a player. He watched Phil Jackson do it, he
watched Greg Bopovich do it. Right, you're all stars and
and Popovich a little bit different, not necessarily the same
uh level of outward or acting out as it were
between Dennis Rodman and sometimes the anger that would be

(22:49):
displayed by pippin her Jordan, depending on circumstance. So Kurt
watched that live and Living color. As a player and
then certainly as a coach with the Warriors, he's had
to navigate the three superstar model and trying to keep
guys happy, especially navigating the Draymond Green world has been interesting.
The end of the Klay Thompson run, so all of that. Yeah,

(23:11):
he's the perfect guy to do that, I think if
he does handle it the way I'd want him to
and in terms of minutes and just saying, hey, I'm
gonna stop apologizing in the self flagellation over this.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
You didn't play.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Maybe you get minutes next time, Maybe you don't. Kevin
Durant came off the bench and he was on a heater.
I'm sorry I didn't sub him out before he hit
the eighth straight shot.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, what do you want me to do?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:35):
He's getting knocked on his ass and laughing and cackling
like he was a movie villain when he got back up,
was like hit me again, go ahead and all that.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So you're not substituting out.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
You're gonna take all those healthy minutes and all of
the scoring that you got because let's face it, that
helped put the separation in and away you went. So
that being said, going back to the NBA, the only
guy answers to his staff like he's got to coexist
with him. Everybody else if it motivates them and pisses
them off, doesn't care. No, def is the one guy

(24:06):
with the ego is a playing me, don't play I understand,
I get a coat.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
But that's the thing, right, he's got that guy.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Everybody else if they go back to their respective camps
pissed off, that's better for the NBA. So now they're
all mad because they got taken out, didn't get enough minutes,
didn't get the shine that they deserve, the Jason Tatum things.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
But then you're talking about guys, do you want to
come back and play in international house? Want to do
it again? And Tom Tibodeau would be the coach.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Steve Kerr was a guy that we were wondering was
going to be on the side. Remember what is back
and Luke Walton got shot and everything, and that's that's
a lifetime again. But hang on, I think I hat
on something. So if you say no to Steve Kerr,
Timms becomes the head. I love it shorter game, right,
so instead of an eight man rotation, he has like
a six man so you have the The rest of

(24:54):
the guys will never get on the court like Embiid
and Lebron. They'll be d NP guys because hey, you
don't defend like I need you to. Well, I mean,
tim and is not gonna not gonna be like these
guys were where they guaranteed and beat and steph and
and be.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
None of them got to play. You're just sitting the.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Way we match up for this team, you guys got nothing.
You're out of this one. We'll see how we match up.
I want to watch that game later on today and
out a baio. That's it started. I need defenders, I
need guys. I need guys getting out there. By the way,
I'm running out. My second unit is all my Knicks, guys.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
No, no, no, it would be okay if Tims was
coming to these wait wait, if I'm trying to figure
this out, if t was coming to score enough. If
Tims was coaching, his starting lineup would probably be Holiday
White at a bio age No, no, a D right,
And I'm trying to think who is who is because
he gotta have He's gotta have somebody else out there

(25:53):
as a score like who is his fifth guy? But
that would be that would be his starting five and
those guys would played like thirty four minutes. I like
the way we're doing this.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
No, that's good, but like otherwise, I mean, look at
the Celtics are all mad, They're they're in unity. But
this is where all the political thing that you mentioned
also swirls in the background, because you had Jason Tatum
a couple of days ago kind of back you know,
Jaylen Brown with some of what he's saying not full on,
but that's his guy, and they've been lockstep and saying, hey,

(26:23):
they're trying to separate us and have us fight, and
they've been doing.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
It for years.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Could Nike have been behind him sitting and nobody wants
to that's the tinfoil hat that's out there in the
conspiracy world. So thank you Twitter verse Mike for that.
Damn Yeah, he's sitting because he sucks. It's all on
a relative basis, right there you go. Maybe he think
about what you did. He got put in time out.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon
Live the Tire That Studios. I'm just thinking of all
the guys. How piss they are sitting on the bench
and be just stretching. I'm not gonna play He's not
gonna play.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Me, guy, But look at he got guaranteed minutes in
a Thibodeau offense. Then in Thibodeau run regime, he's never
getting out there.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Ooh, that would be the best. I just love to
see it. And they're just talking to each other, playing
flipping bottles and stuff on the side.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Now they're playing cards and just kind of hanging out talking.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
To people in the front row. Time now to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
special delivery Steve de Saga, who will lead with, of course,
the biggest athletic achievement of the night, Jose Bhutto a
three inning save in a fifteen to two win by
the Mets.

Speaker 8 (27:35):
Wait a minute, the Mets have a closer now, different
song they gotta think of. By the way, us men's
hoops in that exhibition recently beat South Sudan by a
point on a late layup by Lebron James. The Americans

Speaker 8 (29:17):

torn achilles. The Major League Baseball trade deadline is Tuesday.

final over Washington with five runs in the bottom of
the ninth, pinch it or Corbin Carrol the game winning
two run homer.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Back to you, Thank you, Thank you, Steve. Now, speaking
of the MLB trade deadline, we'll have a big shit
tomorrow night with it. John Paul Morose is gonna come on.
I realize it as good a GM as I would
be for the most part for Major League Baseball. So
I'd be a great I'd be able to navigate everything,
except they'd kind of need to, Like twenty fifth amendment

(30:38):
met right around the trade deadline, and like, you pick
me out of power and then put somebody else in
and I would get it back after because well, you
also don't get to play with any of the math. No,
I would be. I would be a lunatic at the deadline,
and I would want to trade every prospect I had,
every draft pick I had, for every below average player,
because I feel like we have to do something. Everybody's
doing something. I would get that fever and it would

(31:00):
be awful because I would trade everybody.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
This guy's stinks, but I'll trade our number one prospect
for him.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Because you need on the starting pitcher. We have the
arm out of the bullpen. And I'd be worse than
an assistant GM because all it would be is be
in the GM's office going.

Speaker 9 (31:13):
Pick up your phone. We need another outfielder. Why are
you not on the phone. What are you doing? Are
you playing Free Cell? Are you playing Spider Solitaire? Are
you creed in the office?

Speaker 1 (31:25):
What are you doing? Pick up that phone? Call someone.
I mean that's all I would be. So that's the
trade deadline.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
If you were actually the GM, you would be creed
from the office because they'd have to disconnect your computer
because you just be sending direct messages to everybody.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh yeah, yea one hundred percent about that, guys, you available, Jason,
Jason's gonna tech. Just pretend you're a GM from another
team and just say no, all right, your computer's not connected.
Your phone goes to someone the A person who can
do impressions of all the other gms has studied their
mannerisms extensively, except for yet you'll just hear crickets. I mean,

(32:04):
I would I would have to be someone where like
two weeks for the deadline, they would have to call
in and say, okay, listen, just so we know, here's
how we deal with Jason the next two weeks.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
All right.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Anytime he says, hey, get me a GM on the phone,
he wants to make a really bad trade. So I'm
gonna call one of you. You're gonna pretend to be
a GM. All right. Sometimes maybe maybe you're gonna be
Brian Cashman. Maybe you're gonna doesn't matter, but we're gonna
call and you pretend to be Johnny. You pretend to
be Brian Cashman. Just tell him no, okay, here's the
other thing. Anytime he asked your opinion about a trade

(32:34):
about a player on another team.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
You just tell him I think he's hurt. I think
he pulled a hamsh at all right. I think there
was a discussion today. Christian Walker left the game. Eventually,
the Diamondbacks had to put out a message because a
couple of your favorite insiders, one of whom you know
might be related to a future Hall of Fame. Pitcher
put out, oh, you got to know he's hurt.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
He's hurt.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
The diamond Back put it out, he's hurt. He didn't
just get both of the game as a trade thing.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
So you know, got to figure out the information.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
But sometimes sometimes you may have to calm your guy
down by saying, I don't know, maybe a.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Bad clubhouse guy. I would be a lut bad things.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah, and he's got a bad, bad taste in music,
and he wants to play his his tunes over the
loud speaker and it does not sit well with the teammates.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
I'd be crazy and I would make all kinds of
bad deals because I trade everybody. I'd be an awful GM. Now,
because I'm.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Your fax machine, isn't you know connecting anything?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
We fac sat in back set in I agree to
that trade. Nope, Exit, I'm out of Fresca. Exit swalling

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
livethtirack dot com studios. As you watch Jim Harbaugh pulling
the sled, is he gonna get hurt like Russell Wilson. Well,
if he gets hurt, it's okay. He's only the coach. Oh,
he doesn't have to play. It's all right.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
I tell you what though, I mean superior quad and
calf development for coach there getting after it.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Uh, things seem like they're going well for Jim Harbaugh
so far. I practice with it exciting, I dig it. Meanwhile,
maybe not so much in Denver, as no quarterback has
really stepped up. Whether it is being Bow Nix or
Jared Stidham or Zach Wilson or Russell Wilson or Craig

(35:53):
Morton or Tim Tebow. There's lots of keep going on
down the road. But it's interesting because.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
There had been some nonberg for each of the three
quarterbacks on the current roster, Like there's these moments where
people get excited and then immediately you see the tweet
from the inside gun.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I take it back. Now. Here's where things got interesting
earlier tonight because John Elway brought the Broncos a Super Bowl,
got Peyton Manning, drafted a great defense, went on a
podcast and talked about how the biggest mistake he made
in his GM days was not picking Josh Allen in

(36:32):
the twenty eighteen drafts instead of taking Bradley Chubb ahead
of him. And he talked about that. When we had
Jason Locke in four NFL Insider on the show earlier,
we brought it up to him and said, hey, Elwaite
talked about this today, what did you think? He gave
us an interesting take on the current and both future
of what the Denver Broncos quarterback room might look like.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
I mean, look, it got away from them there. You
know when Peyton hurt his neck and Oswaller played well
for a while and there was a little Bardclayer to
be better than Payton at that stage, and you know
then they got sort of remembered. He wanted to give
off Whiller a ton of money too, Like they couldn't
evaluate the quarterback position, right, I mean Paxton Lynch that
whole thing, and like, yeah, it completely got away from him.

(37:18):
I mean, Sean's going to be there a long time though,
And look, if this doesn't work out with bow Knicks,
he will be on to the next guy and maybe
in the next guy, you know, in the top three
to top five next year. Like I still think I
think time's done. And I just felt that for a while.
I feech the door Sanders there, man, I just I

(37:40):
think that could end up making a whole lot of
sense for them. And he slips bow Knicks for whatever,
you know what I mean, for whatever, Like that's been
happening for a while, right, Josh Rosen, like that, that's
not a new phenomenon. So I only his hands are
tied in any way, shape or form. He is absolutely
positively playing the wrong game. And he does want to win,
and I think eventually he will win. I don't if

(38:03):
when the Super Bowl or not, but I do think
he'll be able to build that franchise in time up
to one that can at least niff at the chief heals.
But I think we're a couple of years still away
from that.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Shadur Sanders Broncos quarterback.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
He's gonna have Travis Hunters the key to it all, right,
Sure are making Shadeur Sanders look really good. And that
offensive line that he and Hunter really hated in the
video game.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Coach gotta be white years there. If this Hunter held
back a lot talking about the offensive line, really minced
his words, Just think about how much that makes sense.
He's right about prime being done. And like if if
Deon Sanders continues to coach Colorado, right, because he's got
to have a good year at some point, Right, he
had a bad year last year, but he brought a
lot of attention. He was great in September. If he

(38:49):
has a good year this year. But like Shaudur Standers,
lot likely is headed to the NFL. Shadur Sanders, quarterback
of the Broncos. Deon Sanders head coach, of Colorado, like
this seems like it works, and like Dion can talk
like he's the shadow head coach of the Denver Broncos
because Chudeur is gonna listen to him, and that's how
it's gonna go. Like I can see this why he

(39:11):
said that, put it out there in the universe, and
I can absolutely see this happening in a kind of
in a in a lebron Browny kind of way where hey,
we'll do a favor, Hero'll try to figure it out,
teams will stay away from it, and if the Broncos
say in the top five, it's gonna be one of
those Hey, I want my son to go to the
Broncos and if he doesn't go there, there could be problems.

(39:35):
Oh okay, And suddenly Dion taking on the roll of
Rich Paul, teams stay away from Schudur Sanders, and Shaduur
Sanders goes to the Denver Broncos. Can you not see
that happening? I can one hundred percent see it going
that way. Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
The Sean Payton getting another hey you get you get
another free year thing kind of bothers me, like he's
trading on you know, Hardy uh, you know, laurels and
greatness of many years ago. At this point, it's like, hey,
you know what, you could just throw away twenty.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Twenty to say he's dealing on the Laurel and Hardy's yeah,
laurels and yeah pretty much, here's this Laurel and Hararty handshake.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
No, but just it's a long time ago since he won,
so it's just say, hey, you know what, kick twenty
four away.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
It's all good coach Shador Sanders and this guy's the answers,
telling you man in a lebron brawny way, watch out Twitter,
and how about a fresco Mike hat swollen down the
Jason Smiths Show with Mike Carmen. Coming up next my
buddy Ben Maller, who might be starting for the Dodgers
tomorrow
