Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, good tidings, Welcome inside the Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hello, Happy Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
We're live from the tirack dot Com studios tirac dot com.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I hope you get there.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
at over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirack dot com is
the way tire buying should be. Now, we should we
need to say this now because A I don't know
how much longer it's going to be true. And what
is true, it's awesome. But White Sox are leading the Yankees,
(01:05):
not just like one nothing in the film.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, the White Sox are leading the Yankees five to
two in the sixth inning. The Yankees may get thrown
out of Major League Baseball if they lose this game, well.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Kind of the big deal in the Al East, which
is bunched up for me. In the White Sox, the
the biggest thing around town was there was a huge
fight between them and the cub fan and White Sox
fans over the weekend, so that got captured on film.
So the joke is more hits in that fight than
the White Sox have had all season. And then they've
(01:37):
had a number of top notch celebrities out to throw
first pitches, including Jennifer Hudson the other night. So people
are celebrating that we may not win a game, but
we can still.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Get a less celebrities to show up. Look at you,
I mean, Caleb Williams is great. You're beating the Yankees.
This may be the greatest it's been for Chicago sports
since when since you since you went to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah, I mean go all the way back. Because he
also had the bonus of the Prince concert at half.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, I mean, this may this may be this.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I went, I went to the Rex. This is then
deer of Chicago sports right now. Caleb Williams is great
and you're beating the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Five.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
But the sad thing is, like everybody's so on board
the Caleb bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You just struck out Aaron shot that now it was
the Nader. Caleb Williams is great. The White Sox are
beating the Yankees, and you just struck out Aaron judge of.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The runner off. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
As soon as the ball got away and the runner
trotted down the second, didn't you expect the catcher to
stand up and hold up the force on?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sure? Sure, but that's all right.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
You struck him out, even though it would have brought
up the tying run that it would still be in for.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
If you win this game, I'll loan you Narco for
the night, but I'll figure out some other song. But
where beating me?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
But I mean, I can't wait to see the text
that you said to your father. And oh I already
had to be fun.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I already said one of my dad, Dad, my internet's down.
What's the score of the Yankee game?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, Kel had him a difficult night today, so boy,
but neither pitcher got out.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Of the fifth.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean, looking now we're watching the Dodgers. It's the
return of Mooky bleeping Bets.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, and sure Kershaw's pitch. Kershaw pitch fine, Yeah, one mistake. Okay,
Mookie Bets has looked good so far in the field.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh, Tany's got a home run.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Maybe things are getting to be okay for the Dodgers,
looking maybe steadying the ship a little bit.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But look, we have a big night of football ahead.
Obviously we have a big week one in the NFL
to look back on. But I got I gotta say,
i'd be honest you because the first big story of
the night. First of all, I'm on a little bit
of an Olympics hangover, like the like I missed not
having any Olympics today.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I missed.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Something to the fact that for the last two and
a half weeks you crawled out of bed. Yeah, me
at about six, you at about ten thirty. And there's
sporting events on. Yeah, don't worry though. EPL comes back
this weekend or so. We'll get mead all to day.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Middle of the week is fine.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
But I miss I kind of to miss like, hey's
I'm gonna see Katie Ladecki, I'm gonna see Simone Biles,
I'm gonna see either one of the basketball teams I'm
gonna see.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Celebrating.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Tory's gonna be hanging out in a wheelchair. We'll get
to that dude in a minute.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh boy, But so I miss I kind of look.
And it's great because it shows you the Olympics is back.
The ratings were incredible. You have a lot of stars
that people want to see. It's great, right, the two
big basketball teams, superstars, US women's soccer team Superstars, Simone Biles,
Katie Lideci No all superstars, right. It helps, And this
(04:35):
was this was the first real normal one that we've
had in a while, and it felt good and it
felt great to watch. And now the pressure's on us
here in LA for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well, I mean you got to celebrate Long Beach, I
mean Venice Beach, I mean Green Screen Drive by.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Venice Beach to get to Long Beach Drive.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But here was opportunity to celebrate America at its best,
the ports and the people that worked on them to
get you good. It's onto the shelves of the stores
in your local instead of Venice Beach, which is a
bunch of people dressed like the tin men in Hobo.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You make it sound like you want season two of
the Wire. When they're in the docks, they let's get
the Batkas out here. But okay, but don't lie to
me as to where it is. It's that doesn't the
rest of the world. Long Beach is Los Angeles. It
doesn't matter for us. We know they called it, of course,
and the snoop kept telling you everything.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
With the contract. It was Venice going Long Beach, Venice
adjacent was what it was. And they force fed the
world chili.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Bathrooms down down at least are my favorite red there
you go down right into the show.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I mean, no disrespect, but I mean come on.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And then we got Billie Eilish, Yeah, okay, get Billy
Oh okay, great, yeah, no take gesture.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's a show you're taped on Saturday. I should say.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
There.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I just want to get that riff going. But like that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Look, there's two stories that are going to linger the
first few days past the Olympics. One is Noah Lyles,
because we'll get to that coming up later on.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
He made a lot of friends.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, but USA Gymnastics officials said an arbitration panel is
not going to reconsider their decision asking Jordan Chiles to
return the bronze medal. She won the floor exercise in Paris.
Now this has a big, a big story. The last
few days Jordan Chiles had a great routine and the
official scores, the judges messed it up. They didn't give
(06:27):
her the right degree of difficulty. So right after it
was over, and if you watch this, you saw the
the announcers were talking about saying, hey, they're gonna a
peel right away because they didn't consider her degree of difficulty.
They appealed the degree of difficulty. Her score was raised,
and she wins the bronze medal. And then we get
the story over the weekend that well, they didn't really
get it in in time. You got to get that
that appeal in within a minute and it was a
(06:49):
minute and four seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The United States says, well, we have evidence that says
it was forty seven seconds. She should get the gold medal,
and the Olympic committee who says no, she does not
win the gold medal. The gold medal does not win
the bronze medal. The bronze medal is going to the
to the gymnast who was vaulted up to third place.
So now she's the winner and Child's finishes in fifth place,
(07:14):
and they have said they're not going to reconsider. She's
not gonna get the menu. And she's not gonna get
the menu. She's not gonna get the bronze medal. Jordan
Childs finishes fifth and falls out, and meanwhile USA Gymnastic
is saying, we're still gonna push this, We're still going
to appeal or still and this is gonna be something
that's gonna take years. Like you're like, what you just
saw somebody get their gold medal this year for twenty sixteen.
(07:35):
Eight years later, Hey, we figured out that person that
was doping. Yeah, here's your gold medal this eight years later.
I'm like vacating wins in college football. I'm twenty nine
years old. Now, I'm married with three kids. I haven't competed.
Now I get the gold medal. Now you give it
to me.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
So I can't make any money on this. Now it's
too late. People don't get the retraction.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
First thing I would say is this, if I'm Jordan child, no,
you come get it from me. You come you come
get that metal from me. I won, and the only
reason you're not giving it to me is because you
screwed up, right, like the judge. And here's what I
can't get past is that the judges mess this up
and they know they did, and so the United States
had to appeal and they won.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But now no, whatever is going on here, the.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The the Olympics is saying the Court of Arbitration that no,
we're not going to reconsider this.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And this is maddening.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
This is like if if you call a company, Hey,
I ordered this and I still haven't gotten it. I
want to cancel and get my money back. Well, no,
we don't do that. We're gonna still send it out. No,
but but Christmas is over and I didn't get it,
and you screwed it up. You haven't delivered it. Yeah,
I understand, but we don't. We'd have a no refund policy. No, no,
but you you messed up. You mess this up. No, sir,
(08:45):
I'm gonna have to end this phone call if you're
gonna continue to be combat if no, you don't understand,
this is your mistakes, sermon, ending this phone call.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's kind of what this is.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Because you're arguing with with a governing body that you
know it's their fault and yet still no, we're gonna
not elevate her and leave her at the bronze medal
and we're gonna put her down a fifth place and
somebody else is winning, right like, so for if I'm
Jordan Chiles, I don't give it back. And the second
thing is like, this is supposed to be the Olympics.
This is Olympic spirit, and we're the best of the best.
(09:14):
And now here's a situation where you're not talking about
a gold medal. You're talking about a bronze medal. Right,
this is you finished third, there's still two people that
were better than you. You can split a bronze medal.
You get one, doesn't mean you get half a bronze,
but don't mean they come and cut in half. You
can get a bronze medal, and you can give out
two bronze medals. Yeah, but what if that's not unprecedented.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Where they could have taken to split The guy said no,
I want to jump again, and then he lost.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, that was a bad decision. Jobs, So we've seen that,
we've seen that you could do that. You could split
a bronze dead you eat your bronze medal. Hey, great,
what a great lesson in Olympics, and and in in sportsmanship,
and but no, no, no, we're gonna make sure we
look like the biggest jerks in the world because it's
our mistake. But we're not giving you your money back.
We're still gonna charge you. And who knows when you're
(09:57):
gonna get that product you ordered at the beginning of
novem probably sometime in February.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, it just goes back to why some of the events,
as much as we love the athletic feats being accomplished,
trying to make sense of how they're scored.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Degree of difficulty.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I don't know, because we talked about a lot with
some mobile right degree of difficulty she's spinning her body
and flying, but then she's falling off the mat like,
which is a pretty elemental thing. Seems like there should
be a bigger deduction for not staying in the playing field.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But the rules, Okay, I get this deduction, but on
my degree of difficulty is so much higher.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
But again, the degree of difficulty is so subjectives, like
did she do all the compository things? Yes, Beyond that,
it looks so tough to me, like you don't have
the one doing it right. That's why I still like basketball,
all the things where I beat you to the wall
and swimming all of that. Anyway, that bronze medal, you
(10:55):
know what it's worth in terms of actual cash.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I don't think they would. I don't think people win
bronze medals to sell them thirteen dollars worth of medal.
What makes you think Harmon's brothers haven't stolen them?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Oh yeah, bronze medals nothing unless it's got a really
good name attached to it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, the guy stole Bears equipment.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeahs unless Caleb Williams picture is on the bronze medal.
Here you go, bronze medal.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
No, and the you know gold, there's only six grams
of gold in a five and twenty nine medal. Yeah,
but if you get Simon Biles gold medal, that's going
to be worth But.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The point is just the it's not gold. Well, no
one's going to get a gold medal and melt it down.
They want to get it to have a gold but
mostly they want.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
To just talking about the spot price of the medal
that I'm getting.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, you get a thirty eight thousand dollars bonus by
the way, and they want to wear it around their necks,
around their house, that's why.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Or when they go to their sporting events to say,
look what I did yesterday or last week.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Lebron James, uh No, I I get your thing, but
I I really I want to say. I want to
see there being some sort of big conspiracy that this
guy's buying up all kinds of bronze medals, melting him down,
and what's he building?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I don't know. It could be building a time machine. Well,
could also just be my own version of Iron Man.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm gonna build a metal I'm gonna build a suit
of armor, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Be a matter of melting it down. I just thought
it was funny that Bronze Man, Bronze Man, that you go.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And you get the gold medal, and it has far
more weight in terms of what it means culturally, what
it means for your endorsement, speaking engagements, autograph signings, all
of that stuff. Absolutely history, a legacy, et cetera. Just
funny that six grams out of five hundred and twenty
nine are actually.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Gold Bronze Man. That means when I fight the bad guys,
I'll come in third. The two bad guys will win,
and then I'll come in third, but I'll look good.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I'll look good going in it bronze as they shine
up real nice.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And if and if there's ever a big thing going
on and like you know that the bad guys, like
take a bank, hostage or something, I'll be the third
superhero to show up. Hey, hey, you guys. Good, you
guys got it. Got here as fast as I could.
Just yeah, just it was a long had to get
up the freeway. You know, jet Pack's not where you got.
You saved everybody. Okay, but I'm here. Can I take
a picture with you guys at the end?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
All right? Great?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Thanks dude in the NFL, I mean that's how you
get your credit for a half a tackle or half
a sack, just being around the action.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Do you not know that? Oh, don't get the back,
Jordan Child, don't give the back. No, come and get it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Come to my house and get it and take it
from my hands. You want the bronze medal. I just
want to take it from me.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I just don't understand how this gets litigated for several
like back and forth reversals, half reversals, all of these
things kind of like the degree of difficulty of actually
doing the routine that we get to this point of No,
we're gonna take that back.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's been a week. Man, been a week.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Hey, she want a bronze medal. We had a great celebration.
Oh she was a bronze medalist that night. And now
here we are, and then you can go into the courts,
right court, courts of appeals. Who's got the highest degree
of you know, who's the the ultimate arbiter? That's the question.
He's the president of the IOC all the way to
(14:06):
the top. It's like everybody can whenever we do things
legally in our country.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm gonna get this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I'm gonna get in front of the IOC president where
he's hanging out in that labyrinth that superman built by himself.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You know what help you?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live Fromthetirack dot com studios, where Week
one of the NFL preseason has brought us quite a
bit of drama, a little bit of injury, and of
course we.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Get to laugh at the Jets.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Uh today Hassan Reddick, who the Jets obtained in the
offseason from the Eagles. Hey, we're gonna lose some guys
off the defensive line. We're gonna go get one of
the best pass rushers on the market. He has requested
a trade from the Jets four months after they got him,
because the Jets won't renegotiate his contract and there's differing
opinions on both sides. The Jets say, hey, he knew
(16:22):
what the was going on when we traded for him.
He was acceptable to our terms. A son, Reddick says,
the Jets knew he wanted a new contract, they won't
engage him, and now here he is continuing with his holdout.
He says he wants a trade. The Jets say, no, no, no,
We are waiting for Asan Reddick to report and play
for us this season. Only the Jets can trade for
a guy who won't report. Jejets sho joining us now
(16:44):
in the hotline to break it all down Longtime NFL
Inside with Odyssey one O five seven the Fan in Baltimore,
Washington Post, Jason Locke and fora Jay, what's happening.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Bud, what's going on? Gentlemen? Uh City, Maryland?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Be a happy Monday? Can you get a song writick
into Jets camp soon? Can can you make that happen?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
No, that's above my pay grade. I mean the idea though,
that there is some argument that they're in the right
because they think he was okay with this. It's like, no,
he's it's been pretty clear that he didn't want to
play anywhere for this contract, you know, not even Philadelphia,
(17:27):
let alone somewhere else where. He had no allegiance to
him whatsoever, and he had no say in the matter.
And you know, one organization pulled his contract off on
another that he was unhappy with, Like the idea that
the Jets have some leg to stand on here, and like, well,
we'll deal with him when he shows up. Like, I mean,
(17:49):
it's not working out too well for him to this point.
And again, the way the CBA works, it's pretty draconian.
Most guys will crack at a certain point. But if
he really wants to play the long game and you know,
just show up as late as possible and take all
those fines and just still try to get the accrude season,
(18:10):
I mean, if he were that stuck in by the
time he'd have to fold. My suspicions are they'd be
done playing meaningful football anyway. It's shitas and I'm frankly
these are the kinds of things when you know players.
You're talking to a player, if the other team hasn't
come out already and just granted you permission to talk
(18:32):
to him about a new contract, which he wants one,
then you know you need to obtain that from him,
and then you need to do your due diligence before
you go down this road and trade real time assets
for someone who clearly is willing to go to some
level of extremes to get what he thinks he's worth.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
How do you feel about that? Smith more laughingstock of
your squad?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I feel like Jason lockin Ford made so many cogent
and incredibly good, intelligent, insightful points when he could have
just said that's the Jets, and it was the same
and true, and to say that's that's the Jets now
the Jets do it succinctly.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Jets.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Conversely, my my bearers actually look like they got something
cooking here.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Jason lacafora if only for one weekend.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Look this kid is on a different level than pretty
much anything they've had at that position for a long time,
and they seem to have a pretty good cast around.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Him, and you know, they're no longer a laughing stock,
like they no longer have to be sort of less
than because they're trying to figure out the most important
position in professional.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sports for you know, the fifty straight you know, the
for the fifty second time in fifty two years or
whatever with some you know, with a little dalliance with
a coupler for a couple of years that look like
it may work. And you know, the obviously the you know,
the Monsters of the Midway and what they wear in
(20:13):
the mid eighties where the quarterback you know, with this
man was just sort of along for the ride, but
but clearly a key personality for them in chemistry and
all that. But like, you know, they've attained a i
think a modicum of potential offensive respectability. Now they've got
to keep him up right, you know, they they've they've
(20:33):
got to be smart and how they bring him along.
But there's there's obviously some natural talent there, but like
there's also you know, there's some things that have to
be he worked on as well, and his awareness at times.
You know, he fumbles a little bit, right, I think
he's got to be a little smarter with with how
he handles the football, what what he does in the pocket,
(20:58):
ball control, something like that. But when it comes to
throwing the football, spinning it, he obviously there's a reason
he was drafted where he was drafted.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, here's the thing I think.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I think, Yes, Caleb Williams, boy, some of the things
he did nuances were phenomenal Week one. But I'm gonna
tell you, basically every other first round quarterback outside of
Drake May who you know the Patriots are trying to hide.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
They all look good, Like none of them looked like.
We're not ready.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The game is too big for us at this point.
We're still trying to figure out protection. Like even JJ mccarthew,
I'm like, come on, even he looked good. Now he's
dealing with an injury. He didn't make practice tonight. But
I feel like all the quarterbacks kind of acquitted themselves pretty.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Well this weekend.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, I would agree. And again, you know, some of
these kids have been there for a while now and
the age of nil and you know, sort of getting
your worth and bouncing around in some different systems. So
you've already had to adjust and adapt, right, You've already
been in multiple locales, You've worked with multiple staffs, You've
been up and down the pecking order. I think all
(22:00):
that helps to mature you and bring you along and
hasten your development. Uh yeah, I think Drake made it
a different category. That team is utterly non competitive. They're fielding,
you know, one of the true less than rosters in
the NFL, and you've got a lot of coaches trying
to think things out on the fly, like he shouldn't
play for a while, he won't play for a while,
(22:21):
that's just covid. But yes, I mean I think Jay
Daniels obviously there's something special going on there, you know, Pennix.
Under normal circumstances like this. If the Cousins thing didn't happen,
and this was Keennick's first heinykey, you know, I think
we'd all be talking about this is Michael Pennick's football team.
And I think Peo will continue to look the part
(22:42):
in the preseason, and you know, eight months from now,
I'll be really interested to see what the Atlanta Falcons do.
And I think it could include trading Kirk Cousins. Uh, yeah,
I mean McCarthy had to slow start, but then he
dates some voice throws. There's there's no two ways about it. So, yeah,
(23:03):
it's really early, and we might look back at this
in week four about some of these kids and be like, God,
remember we were all amped up about their first couple
of drives in the preseason. But yeah, it's baby steps
and to this point it's very early, but it's certainly
been way more good than bad.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
No, it's it.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
We got to take the positivity coming out of week one.
Hope spring's eternal, except in Detroit where Jamiir Gibbs looks
like he may be on the shelf for a minute.
And David Montgomery back to the forefront. The one thing
you hate about training camp is the inability of these Jason.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
No, it's it's it's it's just so risky. I mean it.
Sometimes you watch practice and you're just like my god,
like is this is this even worth it? And you
have to tune your body up and you have to
get callous. But the calculus that these coaches go through,
(23:57):
like I don't end the it this this sport is
fundamentally violent. There's no two ways about that. The degree
of contact, even controlled contact, that is inflicted upon these
human bodies, and the number of times that something bends
the way it's not supposed to, or something somewhat unnatural
happens to the course of them, you know, going through
(24:20):
two hours of practice. It's just it's inherently risky. I
mean the other day at Raven's practice, Cal Hamilton went
down and like, you know, everything, it's like the record
skipped off the turntable, like all the music stopped, you know,
if everything's got to soundsright now, And like Lamar and
Harball go running over to Hamilton and like like everything.
(24:41):
It just it sucks the lifetile because it's like, my god,
if this guy just tore ac, you know, like how
what place in him? What the hell are we doing?
Like what would that do to our first year defensive
coordinator if he just lost his ultimate chess piece, you know,
in a in a glory seventy practice, forty eight hours
(25:02):
after he played a fake football game. But like what
else can you do? Right? I Mean? It sort of
is what it is, and there's a sad inevitability that
will only increase. We're you know, we're two days away
from going through the Ringer again, and more guys who
we've heard of will actually play this week, and some
of them will undoubtedly go down and go down for
(25:24):
long periods of time. It's it's there. There's just a
you know, there's a carnege element to this and we're
just starting to go through the crimes.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Hey, lastly, Jay this weekend, Jerry Jones said he misses
CD LAMB, but then he didn't miss CD LAMB because
he wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Be out there at this point. So so hell help
me out here.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Everything I've heard from Jerry Jones over the last few
months tells me, I mean, he's not ready to pay
either of these guys. He's not ready to pay Cede Lamb.
He's not going to pay Dak Prescott. Basically, he's been
kind of telling us that, right, haven't we?
Speaker 7 (26:02):
Oh yeah no.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
And I've got a piece coming up in the Washington
Post about this. I talked to sticks the eight people
who negotiate contracts for a living in one way, shape
or form, either on the team side or for.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
The NFL PA or you know, individual agents, and it's
rare that you could find general managers and cap guys
and negotiators on both sides of the aisle who are
all in agreement on the same thing. But literally everybody
I talked to is like, what is this guy doing?
Like this is absolute jack assery. These two players are
(26:41):
worth about one hundred million dollars a year right now,
and the longer he continues to wait, the more he's
costing himself. And he's got nothing to gain here and
a lot to lose. And it kind of took some
simpleton stuff to get to this point. But to continue
to double down on stupid and act like there shouldn't
(27:02):
be a sense of urgency or that this isn't threatening
the short and lend to some degree long term viability
or franchise is just complete bullissness. It doesn't make sense
to anyone that I spoke to the problem if you're
a Cowboys fan, is you know one of the guys
(27:23):
I talked to goes pretty pretty way back with Jerry
and through the years has had a pretty good read
on him, and he's like, look, I think he doesn't
think he's winning a super Bowl with this iteration of
this team with Dak Prescott. But the problem is when
you're eighty something years old, you're boxed in and watching
some other quarterback developed for three years. Isn't in the
cards either. But there's also nobody on next year's free
(27:45):
agent market, like there's no other out which you go
to trade for cousins. I mean, I guess he could,
but like, is that that's treading water, you know, at best,
like he boxed in the corner. But there's some part
of his irrational brain that won't just spend the sixty
bucks to sixty million to at least secure this guy.
And and insomuch as at one point he talked to
(28:07):
Steven or talk to some other people in the league
who could get through to him, it doesn't appear as
if anybody can get through to him right now. And
this has become personal. And while I can't imagine he
doesn't get the CD lamp thing done eventually, because how's
he going to go to war without him? I do
think he just may be stuck in enough to let
that get into the season without a contract, at which
(28:28):
point in time somebody else will give him north of
sixty million. If it's sixty million now and he has
even a decent season, it might be sixty two, it
might be sixty three. I mean, all it takes is
a market, and there'll be a market, and all Jerry
will get is a twenty twenty six compensatory pick.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That is at
Jason locking For. You can hear the Atlantic Ocean waftily
Breezeley behind him on the base side.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Okay, definitely not yeah, I'm on the Bay side. Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I wanted to say I was yeah, but that's okay.
Check him out.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
He's got that piece coming up on the Dallas Cowboys.
Check him out on Odyssey one of five, seven, the
Fan in Baltimore, and of course the Washington Post.
Speaker 3 (29:09):

The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the
tirec dot Com Studios. We'll have more on that Jamior
(29:35):
Gibbs injury coming up in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But straight ahead, Yes.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The twenty twenty four Olympics have ended less than twenty
four hours ago. I'll tell you what I'm already incredibly
worried about for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
It's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Always important understand bringing fire without racism.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh see, I was thinking more of the Rob Parker
about the Mets. The Mets score run, Mets are off
tonight or off tonight? White Sox had a rare Sunday off.
How does that make any sense? The season off?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
You're beating the Yankees by ten runs right now, Wait
till I tell you the text I'm getting from Fabian
and my dad. Oh, I'll do that in a few minutes.
Tell you because I texted both. They actually both replied,
I said, Hey, my internet's out. What's the score of
the Yankees White Sox game? And they both have gone
bang bang dangan dang bank dang. It's been something. It's
it's really been something. Uh, so we'll have very commited myself. However, uh, look,
(30:41):
we would a nice bow on the Olympics again, a
little Olympic withdrawal today with I've kind of wanted to
wake up and see something. But I gotta be honest
with you. I am already wing and not that he
worried me by saying everyone needs to be concerned about
me in twenty twenty eight Wemby. Uh, but I am
re worried about men's hoops, our team in twenty twenty
(31:04):
eight here against France.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Oh, I thought you were going to do something real
about infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh no, no, we'll get to We got time for that.
But let's let's let's else. There's a lot. I mean, look,
it's gonna be embarrassing if when the United States loses
to France in LA with a twenty four year old Wemby,
who let's face it, France took the United States all
the way to the wall this weekend. I mean, look,
the game was incredible, right, but to give you something
(31:33):
a little bit different other than hey, boys, Steff Curry
did it for us.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Why am I worried? Every year?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
It's it's difficult because the FOEBA rules the United States
just doesn't adhere to them. None of the things that
go on with Olympic basketball or solvable problems. They don't
have enough time to play together. It takes the coach
a while to figure out who the right players are,
what his right rotation is. Took Steve Caro while to
figure out, Okay, the guys I want to close with
or Lebron and Steph and and Booker and most likely
(32:03):
a little bit of AD maybe a little bit of NB.
But like he's got his guys and Kevin Durant right
that it took. It takes a while. The reliance on
the three and the lack of defensive prowess at the
United States has in the lack of urgency that's always
going to be there. So it's gonna be, hey, do
we have enough with our talent? Can we continue to
out talent everybody? And you look at why we won
(32:26):
this game on Saturday? Right, why do we win? And
everybody saw the end? We won because of Steph Lebron
and Kevin Durant, Right, those are the three guys that
did it. As great a country as we are with
all our incredible talent, all are incredible talent. That we
have under thirty twenty four to twenty. Anthony Everards, he's
(32:48):
a nugs. Michael Jordan guy couldn't get on the floor
when it came down to it. Who had to win
the game and win the gold medal. Steph Lebron and
Kevin Durant all guys who over thirty five and are
probably not gonna play at the next Olympics, right. Lebron
most likely is not Kevin Durant, probably not Steph, maybe
(33:10):
only because Steph you could see him still with that
same kind of of skill set. But you're talking about
guys all gonna be almost forty or over forty. These
are the guys that did it for us now. So
this tells me that all this great talent we had,
we still had to rely on three guys over thirty
five to do it. So in four years from now,
when Wemby is twenty four, Evan Fournier is through time,
(33:32):
when Wenby is twenty four and France, you gave us
all we can handle. Suddenly Jason Tatum's got enough enough
leadership to be able to do it. Anthony Edwards is
gonna be great enough that he's gonna come in and
win Olympic gold medal. We had to rely on the
guys that it won medals for the last three four Olympics.
And Steph who was so hungry for his first gold medal,
he just said, give me the bleep and ball. I'm
gonna win this all by myself in the last two minutes,
(33:53):
like I'm more like I can see us not yet,
I could see us play in France and and losing it.
We have to play them early, we have to we
have to play them in the metal round, Like this
is a team that's really coming and you you're talking
about a twenty year old Victor wembin Yama that was
still a guy who was a difference maker for the
entire game, didn't matter what the United States put out there.
(34:14):
He was a lot of fun to watch. Don't forget
about Serbia.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
And he still got Nikola Jokic who looked like he
was having the time of his life.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
France, right, France are going to be in a better
so because France is a better team that they could
be a better Serbia, but just the idea that you're
still gonna have to go through them, because look at
how much fun he had playing and choosing to be there, right,
the choice of who you're working with and being around versus.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
All right, I'm on this squad.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Those are the people from work, as they say, versus
I've got my squad around me celebrating the bronze medal
after the big victory Saturday early morning here Stateside.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
But you look at the US squad.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
The other thing they're gonna have to go through, and
they're already talking about, right, Steve Kerr probably steps aside,
neither Spolster, lou or whoever is. I think Spolster's in
the driver's seat to be the next guy up. You've
got an image problem, I think to get through a
little bit in terms of of these top players as well.
Jason Tatum on the way out, noncommittal about coming back,
(35:16):
not wanting to get into his fields.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
In the moment, and.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Grant he didn't play well when he did play, and
folks need to stop upon, you know, getting too mad
about that because he didn't earn necessarily the chances in
minutes that needed to be because the margin victory wasn't there, right,
They adn't cover in the final game sixteen and a half,
and it took a lot of Steph magic to get
you back to eleven. But for Jason Tatum Halliburton, you know,
(35:41):
he was the guy laughing saying, you know, I didn't
do anything in the group project, but I still get
the a kind of thing holding up his gold medal.
That's great, But in four years, are you gonna have
to convince guys to play?
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Man?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
There's always gonna be guys, I know.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
But I'm talking about one to go and maybe not
play like Jason Tatum. You would think he's to go
and play a big role. This is a guy coming
off an NBA championship and who barely played, and his
mom is upset.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Hey, I want to know why my son's not playing.
How many guys are gonna go?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah, I don't know how many guys are gonna say
they don't want to play because I don't want to
play on the first team.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
That could potentially lose.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
That's it, right, Like, here's a lot of things because
you go weep inside the stats. Tatum was ozo for
sixteen on jump shots in the tournament and the exhibition, so,
you know, not exactly making the most of the minutes.
He did get and I get it. It's the flow
and energy and This is where my proposal comes in.
And it's shortened here and abbreviated because of the clock.
But this is where we need the team ups right now,
(36:37):
all right, we need the NBA to conspire and get
a few of these stars to work together for a
couple of years so we don't have that feeling out
process in these games. We'll just we don't have anything,
because you're saying, because they also do the Hey, wow,
he's just trying to do too much.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
No, he threw a crappy pass. I got It's like
Curry threw one into the third row. It's got. Oh,
he's trying to do too much. No, I got it.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Go.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
We're gonna send the Knicks too far? No, come on, No,
it's not we're gonna send brunts in. We're gonna and
are you putting him in bringing loose sights?
Speaker 4 (37:09):
And are you putting him on the We're gonna set
like your comic book guy right now so you can
save him for four years.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
It's gonna run him out, show him up, and spin
him out. That's gonna be nothing less.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
No, we're gonna send the next to La. Everybody's gonna
play forty minutes and we're gonna send the Knicks. Send none, Knicks,
sayd none. Well, they'll be coming off two championships by then.
It'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
If you win the in season tournament, you get to
go represent them, telling you man and joy like the
make defect for Cameroon twenty twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Ain't got it easy.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Coming up next, we got big stuff out of the NFL.

Hello, Happy Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
We're live from the tirack dot Com studios tirac dot com.

I hope you get there.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection

the way tire buying should be. Now, we should we
need to say this now because A I don't know
how much longer it's going to be true. And what
is true, it's awesome. But White Sox are leading the Yankees,
(01:05):
not just like one nothing in the film.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, the White Sox are leading the Yankees five to
two in the sixth inning. The Yankees may get thrown
out of Major League Baseball if they lose this game, well.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Kind of the big deal in the Al East, which
is bunched up for me. In the White Sox, the
the biggest thing around town was there was a huge
fight between them and the cub fan and White Sox
fans over the weekend, so that got captured on film.
So the joke is more hits in that fight than
the White Sox have had all season. And then they've
(01:37):
had a number of top notch celebrities out to throw
first pitches, including Jennifer Hudson the other night. So people
are celebrating that we may not win a game, but
we can still.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Get a less celebrities to show up. Look at you,
I mean, Caleb Williams is great. You're beating the Yankees.
This may be the greatest it's been for Chicago sports
since when since you since you went to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah, I mean go all the way back. Because he
also had the bonus of the Prince concert at half.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, I mean, this may this may be this.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I went, I went to the Rex. This is then
deer of Chicago sports right now. Caleb Williams is great
and you're beating the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Five.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
But the sad thing is, like everybody's so on board
the Caleb bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You just struck out Aaron shot that now it was
the Nader. Caleb Williams is great. The White Sox are
beating the Yankees, and you just struck out Aaron judge of.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The runner off. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
As soon as the ball got away and the runner
trotted down the second, didn't you expect the catcher to
stand up and hold up the force on?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sure? Sure, but that's all right.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
You struck him out, even though it would have brought
up the tying run that it would still be in for.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
If you win this game, I'll loan you Narco for
the night, but I'll figure out some other song. But
where beating me?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
But I mean, I can't wait to see the text
that you said to your father. And oh I already
had to be fun.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I already said one of my dad, Dad, my internet's down.
What's the score of the Yankee game?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, Kel had him a difficult night today, so boy,
but neither pitcher got out.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Of the fifth.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean, looking now we're watching the Dodgers. It's the
return of Mooky bleeping Bets.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, and sure Kershaw's pitch. Kershaw pitch fine, Yeah, one mistake. Okay,
Mookie Bets has looked good so far in the field.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh, Tany's got a home run.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Maybe things are getting to be okay for the Dodgers,
looking maybe steadying the ship a little bit.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But look, we have a big night of football ahead.
Obviously we have a big week one in the NFL
to look back on. But I got I gotta say,
i'd be honest you because the first big story of
the night. First of all, I'm on a little bit
of an Olympics hangover, like the like I missed not
having any Olympics today.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I missed.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Something to the fact that for the last two and
a half weeks you crawled out of bed. Yeah, me
at about six, you at about ten thirty. And there's
sporting events on. Yeah, don't worry though. EPL comes back
this weekend or so. We'll get mead all to day.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Middle of the week is fine.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
But I miss I kind of to miss like, hey's
I'm gonna see Katie Ladecki, I'm gonna see Simone Biles,
I'm gonna see either one of the basketball teams I'm
gonna see.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Celebrating.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Tory's gonna be hanging out in a wheelchair. We'll get
to that dude in a minute.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh boy, But so I miss I kind of look.
And it's great because it shows you the Olympics is back.
The ratings were incredible. You have a lot of stars
that people want to see. It's great, right, the two
big basketball teams, superstars, US women's soccer team Superstars, Simone Biles,
Katie Lideci No all superstars, right. It helps, And this
(04:35):
was this was the first real normal one that we've
had in a while, and it felt good and it
felt great to watch. And now the pressure's on us
here in LA for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well, I mean you got to celebrate Long Beach, I
mean Venice Beach, I mean Green Screen Drive by.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Venice Beach to get to Long Beach Drive.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But here was opportunity to celebrate America at its best,
the ports and the people that worked on them to
get you good. It's onto the shelves of the stores
in your local instead of Venice Beach, which is a
bunch of people dressed like the tin men in Hobo.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You make it sound like you want season two of
the Wire. When they're in the docks, they let's get
the Batkas out here. But okay, but don't lie to
me as to where it is. It's that doesn't the
rest of the world. Long Beach is Los Angeles. It
doesn't matter for us. We know they called it, of course,
and the snoop kept telling you everything.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
With the contract. It was Venice going Long Beach, Venice
adjacent was what it was. And they force fed the
world chili.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Bathrooms down down at least are my favorite red there
you go down right into the show.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I mean, no disrespect, but I mean come on.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And then we got Billie Eilish, Yeah, okay, get Billy
Oh okay, great, yeah, no take gesture.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's a show you're taped on Saturday. I should say.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
There.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I just want to get that riff going. But like that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Look, there's two stories that are going to linger the
first few days past the Olympics. One is Noah Lyles,
because we'll get to that coming up later on.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
He made a lot of friends.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, but USA Gymnastics officials said an arbitration panel is
not going to reconsider their decision asking Jordan Chiles to
return the bronze medal. She won the floor exercise in Paris.
Now this has a big, a big story. The last
few days Jordan Chiles had a great routine and the
official scores, the judges messed it up. They didn't give
(06:27):
her the right degree of difficulty. So right after it
was over, and if you watch this, you saw the
the announcers were talking about saying, hey, they're gonna a
peel right away because they didn't consider her degree of difficulty.
They appealed the degree of difficulty. Her score was raised,
and she wins the bronze medal. And then we get
the story over the weekend that well, they didn't really
get it in in time. You got to get that
that appeal in within a minute and it was a
(06:49):
minute and four seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The United States says, well, we have evidence that says
it was forty seven seconds. She should get the gold medal,
and the Olympic committee who says no, she does not
win the gold medal. The gold medal does not win
the bronze medal. The bronze medal is going to the
to the gymnast who was vaulted up to third place.
So now she's the winner and Child's finishes in fifth place,
(07:14):
and they have said they're not going to reconsider. She's
not gonna get the menu. And she's not gonna get
the menu. She's not gonna get the bronze medal. Jordan
Childs finishes fifth and falls out, and meanwhile USA Gymnastic
is saying, we're still gonna push this, We're still going
to appeal or still and this is gonna be something
that's gonna take years. Like you're like, what you just
saw somebody get their gold medal this year for twenty sixteen.
(07:35):
Eight years later, Hey, we figured out that person that
was doping. Yeah, here's your gold medal this eight years later.
I'm like vacating wins in college football. I'm twenty nine
years old. Now, I'm married with three kids. I haven't competed.
Now I get the gold medal. Now you give it
to me.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
So I can't make any money on this. Now it's
too late. People don't get the retraction.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
First thing I would say is this, if I'm Jordan child, no,
you come get it from me. You come you come
get that metal from me. I won, and the only
reason you're not giving it to me is because you
screwed up, right, like the judge. And here's what I
can't get past is that the judges mess this up
and they know they did, and so the United States
had to appeal and they won.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But now no, whatever is going on here, the.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The the Olympics is saying the Court of Arbitration that no,
we're not going to reconsider this.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And this is maddening.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
This is like if if you call a company, Hey,
I ordered this and I still haven't gotten it. I
want to cancel and get my money back. Well, no,
we don't do that. We're gonna still send it out. No,
but but Christmas is over and I didn't get it,
and you screwed it up. You haven't delivered it. Yeah,
I understand, but we don't. We'd have a no refund policy. No, no,
but you you messed up. You mess this up. No, sir,
(08:45):
I'm gonna have to end this phone call if you're
gonna continue to be combat if no, you don't understand,
this is your mistakes, sermon, ending this phone call.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's kind of what this is.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Because you're arguing with with a governing body that you
know it's their fault and yet still no, we're gonna
not elevate her and leave her at the bronze medal
and we're gonna put her down a fifth place and
somebody else is winning, right like, so for if I'm
Jordan Chiles, I don't give it back. And the second
thing is like, this is supposed to be the Olympics.
This is Olympic spirit, and we're the best of the best.
(09:14):
And now here's a situation where you're not talking about
a gold medal. You're talking about a bronze medal. Right,
this is you finished third, there's still two people that
were better than you. You can split a bronze medal.
You get one, doesn't mean you get half a bronze,
but don't mean they come and cut in half. You
can get a bronze medal, and you can give out
two bronze medals. Yeah, but what if that's not unprecedented.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Where they could have taken to split The guy said no,
I want to jump again, and then he lost.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, that was a bad decision. Jobs, So we've seen that,
we've seen that you could do that. You could split
a bronze dead you eat your bronze medal. Hey, great,
what a great lesson in Olympics, and and in in sportsmanship,
and but no, no, no, we're gonna make sure we
look like the biggest jerks in the world because it's
our mistake. But we're not giving you your money back.
We're still gonna charge you. And who knows when you're
(09:57):
gonna get that product you ordered at the beginning of
novem probably sometime in February.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, it just goes back to why some of the events,
as much as we love the athletic feats being accomplished,
trying to make sense of how they're scored.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Degree of difficulty.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I don't know, because we talked about a lot with
some mobile right degree of difficulty she's spinning her body
and flying, but then she's falling off the mat like,
which is a pretty elemental thing. Seems like there should
be a bigger deduction for not staying in the playing field.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But the rules, Okay, I get this deduction, but on
my degree of difficulty is so much higher.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
But again, the degree of difficulty is so subjectives, like
did she do all the compository things? Yes, Beyond that,
it looks so tough to me, like you don't have
the one doing it right. That's why I still like basketball,
all the things where I beat you to the wall
and swimming all of that. Anyway, that bronze medal, you
(10:55):
know what it's worth in terms of actual cash.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I don't think they would. I don't think people win
bronze medals to sell them thirteen dollars worth of medal.
What makes you think Harmon's brothers haven't stolen them?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Oh yeah, bronze medals nothing unless it's got a really
good name attached to it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, the guy stole Bears equipment.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeahs unless Caleb Williams picture is on the bronze medal.
Here you go, bronze medal.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
No, and the you know gold, there's only six grams
of gold in a five and twenty nine medal. Yeah,
but if you get Simon Biles gold medal, that's going
to be worth But.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The point is just the it's not gold. Well, no
one's going to get a gold medal and melt it down.
They want to get it to have a gold but
mostly they want.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
To just talking about the spot price of the medal
that I'm getting.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, you get a thirty eight thousand dollars bonus by
the way, and they want to wear it around their necks,
around their house, that's why.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Or when they go to their sporting events to say,
look what I did yesterday or last week.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Lebron James, uh No, I I get your thing, but
I I really I want to say. I want to
see there being some sort of big conspiracy that this
guy's buying up all kinds of bronze medals, melting him down,
and what's he building?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I don't know. It could be building a time machine. Well,
could also just be my own version of Iron Man.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm gonna build a metal I'm gonna build a suit
of armor, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Be a matter of melting it down. I just thought
it was funny that Bronze Man, Bronze Man, that you go.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And you get the gold medal, and it has far
more weight in terms of what it means culturally, what
it means for your endorsement, speaking engagements, autograph signings, all
of that stuff. Absolutely history, a legacy, et cetera. Just
funny that six grams out of five hundred and twenty
nine are actually.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Gold Bronze Man. That means when I fight the bad guys,
I'll come in third. The two bad guys will win,
and then I'll come in third, but I'll look good.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I'll look good going in it bronze as they shine
up real nice.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And if and if there's ever a big thing going
on and like you know that the bad guys, like
take a bank, hostage or something, I'll be the third
superhero to show up. Hey, hey, you guys. Good, you
guys got it. Got here as fast as I could.
Just yeah, just it was a long had to get
up the freeway. You know, jet Pack's not where you got.
You saved everybody. Okay, but I'm here. Can I take
a picture with you guys at the end?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
All right? Great?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Thanks dude in the NFL, I mean that's how you
get your credit for a half a tackle or half
a sack, just being around the action.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Do you not know that? Oh, don't get the back,
Jordan Child, don't give the back. No, come and get it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Come to my house and get it and take it
from my hands. You want the bronze medal. I just
want to take it from me.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I just don't understand how this gets litigated for several
like back and forth reversals, half reversals, all of these
things kind of like the degree of difficulty of actually
doing the routine that we get to this point of No,
we're gonna take that back.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's been a week. Man, been a week.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Hey, she want a bronze medal. We had a great celebration.
Oh she was a bronze medalist that night. And now
here we are, and then you can go into the courts,
right court, courts of appeals. Who's got the highest degree
of you know, who's the the ultimate arbiter? That's the question.
He's the president of the IOC all the way to
(14:06):
the top. It's like everybody can whenever we do things
legally in our country.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm gonna get this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I'm gonna get in front of the IOC president where
he's hanging out in that labyrinth that superman built by himself.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You know what help you?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live Fromthetirack dot com studios, where Week
one of the NFL preseason has brought us quite a
bit of drama, a little bit of injury, and of
course we.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Get to laugh at the Jets.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Uh today Hassan Reddick, who the Jets obtained in the
offseason from the Eagles. Hey, we're gonna lose some guys
off the defensive line. We're gonna go get one of
the best pass rushers on the market. He has requested
a trade from the Jets four months after they got him,
because the Jets won't renegotiate his contract and there's differing
opinions on both sides. The Jets say, hey, he knew
(16:22):
what the was going on when we traded for him.
He was acceptable to our terms. A son, Reddick says,
the Jets knew he wanted a new contract, they won't
engage him, and now here he is continuing with his holdout.
He says he wants a trade. The Jets say, no, no, no,
We are waiting for Asan Reddick to report and play
for us this season. Only the Jets can trade for
a guy who won't report. Jejets sho joining us now
(16:44):
in the hotline to break it all down Longtime NFL
Inside with Odyssey one O five seven the Fan in Baltimore,
Washington Post, Jason Locke and fora Jay, what's happening.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Bud, what's going on? Gentlemen? Uh City, Maryland?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Be a happy Monday? Can you get a song writick
into Jets camp soon? Can can you make that happen?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
No, that's above my pay grade. I mean the idea though,
that there is some argument that they're in the right
because they think he was okay with this. It's like, no,
he's it's been pretty clear that he didn't want to
play anywhere for this contract, you know, not even Philadelphia,
(17:27):
let alone somewhere else where. He had no allegiance to
him whatsoever, and he had no say in the matter.
And you know, one organization pulled his contract off on
another that he was unhappy with, Like the idea that
the Jets have some leg to stand on here, and like, well,
we'll deal with him when he shows up. Like, I mean,
(17:49):
it's not working out too well for him to this point.
And again, the way the CBA works, it's pretty draconian.
Most guys will crack at a certain point. But if
he really wants to play the long game and you know,
just show up as late as possible and take all
those fines and just still try to get the accrude season,
(18:10):
I mean, if he were that stuck in by the
time he'd have to fold. My suspicions are they'd be
done playing meaningful football anyway. It's shitas and I'm frankly
these are the kinds of things when you know players.
You're talking to a player, if the other team hasn't
come out already and just granted you permission to talk
(18:32):
to him about a new contract, which he wants one,
then you know you need to obtain that from him,
and then you need to do your due diligence before
you go down this road and trade real time assets
for someone who clearly is willing to go to some
level of extremes to get what he thinks he's worth.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
How do you feel about that? Smith more laughingstock of
your squad?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I feel like Jason lockin Ford made so many cogent
and incredibly good, intelligent, insightful points when he could have
just said that's the Jets, and it was the same
and true, and to say that's that's the Jets now
the Jets do it succinctly.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Jets.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Conversely, my my bearers actually look like they got something
cooking here.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Jason lacafora if only for one weekend.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Look this kid is on a different level than pretty
much anything they've had at that position for a long time,
and they seem to have a pretty good cast around.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Him, and you know, they're no longer a laughing stock,
like they no longer have to be sort of less
than because they're trying to figure out the most important
position in professional.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sports for you know, the fifty straight you know, the
for the fifty second time in fifty two years or
whatever with some you know, with a little dalliance with
a coupler for a couple of years that look like
it may work. And you know, the obviously the you know,
the Monsters of the Midway and what they wear in
(20:13):
the mid eighties where the quarterback you know, with this
man was just sort of along for the ride, but
but clearly a key personality for them in chemistry and
all that. But like, you know, they've attained a i
think a modicum of potential offensive respectability. Now they've got
to keep him up right, you know, they they've they've
(20:33):
got to be smart and how they bring him along.
But there's there's obviously some natural talent there, but like
there's also you know, there's some things that have to
be he worked on as well, and his awareness at times.
You know, he fumbles a little bit, right, I think
he's got to be a little smarter with with how
he handles the football, what what he does in the pocket,
(20:58):
ball control, something like that. But when it comes to
throwing the football, spinning it, he obviously there's a reason
he was drafted where he was drafted.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, here's the thing I think.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I think, Yes, Caleb Williams, boy, some of the things
he did nuances were phenomenal Week one. But I'm gonna
tell you, basically every other first round quarterback outside of
Drake May who you know the Patriots are trying to hide.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
They all look good, Like none of them looked like.
We're not ready.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The game is too big for us at this point.
We're still trying to figure out protection. Like even JJ mccarthew,
I'm like, come on, even he looked good. Now he's
dealing with an injury. He didn't make practice tonight. But
I feel like all the quarterbacks kind of acquitted themselves pretty.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Well this weekend.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, I would agree. And again, you know, some of
these kids have been there for a while now and
the age of nil and you know, sort of getting
your worth and bouncing around in some different systems. So
you've already had to adjust and adapt, right, You've already
been in multiple locales, You've worked with multiple staffs, You've
been up and down the pecking order. I think all
(22:00):
that helps to mature you and bring you along and
hasten your development. Uh yeah, I think Drake made it
a different category. That team is utterly non competitive. They're fielding,
you know, one of the true less than rosters in
the NFL, and you've got a lot of coaches trying
to think things out on the fly, like he shouldn't
play for a while, he won't play for a while,
(22:21):
that's just covid. But yes, I mean I think Jay
Daniels obviously there's something special going on there, you know, Pennix.
Under normal circumstances like this. If the Cousins thing didn't happen,
and this was Keennick's first heinykey, you know, I think
we'd all be talking about this is Michael Pennick's football team.
And I think Peo will continue to look the part
(22:42):
in the preseason, and you know, eight months from now,
I'll be really interested to see what the Atlanta Falcons do.
And I think it could include trading Kirk Cousins. Uh, yeah,
I mean McCarthy had to slow start, but then he
dates some voice throws. There's there's no two ways about it. So, yeah,
(23:03):
it's really early, and we might look back at this
in week four about some of these kids and be like, God,
remember we were all amped up about their first couple
of drives in the preseason. But yeah, it's baby steps
and to this point it's very early, but it's certainly
been way more good than bad.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
No, it's it.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
We got to take the positivity coming out of week one.
Hope spring's eternal, except in Detroit where Jamiir Gibbs looks
like he may be on the shelf for a minute.
And David Montgomery back to the forefront. The one thing
you hate about training camp is the inability of these Jason.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
No, it's it's it's it's just so risky. I mean it.
Sometimes you watch practice and you're just like my god,
like is this is this even worth it? And you
have to tune your body up and you have to
get callous. But the calculus that these coaches go through,
(23:57):
like I don't end the it this this sport is
fundamentally violent. There's no two ways about that. The degree
of contact, even controlled contact, that is inflicted upon these
human bodies, and the number of times that something bends
the way it's not supposed to, or something somewhat unnatural
happens to the course of them, you know, going through
(24:20):
two hours of practice. It's just it's inherently risky. I
mean the other day at Raven's practice, Cal Hamilton went
down and like, you know, everything, it's like the record
skipped off the turntable, like all the music stopped, you know,
if everything's got to soundsright now, And like Lamar and
Harball go running over to Hamilton and like like everything.
(24:41):
It just it sucks the lifetile because it's like, my god,
if this guy just tore ac, you know, like how
what place in him? What the hell are we doing?
Like what would that do to our first year defensive
coordinator if he just lost his ultimate chess piece, you know,
in a in a glory seventy practice, forty eight hours
(25:02):
after he played a fake football game. But like what
else can you do? Right? I Mean? It sort of
is what it is, and there's a sad inevitability that
will only increase. We're you know, we're two days away
from going through the Ringer again, and more guys who
we've heard of will actually play this week, and some
of them will undoubtedly go down and go down for
(25:24):
long periods of time. It's it's there. There's just a
you know, there's a carnege element to this and we're
just starting to go through the crimes.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Hey, lastly, Jay this weekend, Jerry Jones said he misses
CD LAMB, but then he didn't miss CD LAMB because
he wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Be out there at this point. So so hell help
me out here.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Everything I've heard from Jerry Jones over the last few
months tells me, I mean, he's not ready to pay
either of these guys. He's not ready to pay Cede Lamb.
He's not going to pay Dak Prescott. Basically, he's been
kind of telling us that, right, haven't we?
Speaker 7 (26:02):
Oh yeah no.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
And I've got a piece coming up in the Washington
Post about this. I talked to sticks the eight people
who negotiate contracts for a living in one way, shape
or form, either on the team side or for.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
The NFL PA or you know, individual agents, and it's
rare that you could find general managers and cap guys
and negotiators on both sides of the aisle who are
all in agreement on the same thing. But literally everybody
I talked to is like, what is this guy doing?
Like this is absolute jack assery. These two players are
(26:41):
worth about one hundred million dollars a year right now,
and the longer he continues to wait, the more he's
costing himself. And he's got nothing to gain here and
a lot to lose. And it kind of took some
simpleton stuff to get to this point. But to continue
to double down on stupid and act like there shouldn't
(27:02):
be a sense of urgency or that this isn't threatening
the short and lend to some degree long term viability
or franchise is just complete bullissness. It doesn't make sense
to anyone that I spoke to the problem if you're
a Cowboys fan, is you know one of the guys
(27:23):
I talked to goes pretty pretty way back with Jerry
and through the years has had a pretty good read
on him, and he's like, look, I think he doesn't
think he's winning a super Bowl with this iteration of
this team with Dak Prescott. But the problem is when
you're eighty something years old, you're boxed in and watching
some other quarterback developed for three years. Isn't in the
cards either. But there's also nobody on next year's free
(27:45):
agent market, like there's no other out which you go
to trade for cousins. I mean, I guess he could,
but like, is that that's treading water, you know, at best,
like he boxed in the corner. But there's some part
of his irrational brain that won't just spend the sixty
bucks to sixty million to at least secure this guy.
And and insomuch as at one point he talked to
(28:07):
Steven or talk to some other people in the league
who could get through to him, it doesn't appear as
if anybody can get through to him right now. And
this has become personal. And while I can't imagine he
doesn't get the CD lamp thing done eventually, because how's
he going to go to war without him? I do
think he just may be stuck in enough to let
that get into the season without a contract, at which
(28:28):
point in time somebody else will give him north of
sixty million. If it's sixty million now and he has
even a decent season, it might be sixty two, it
might be sixty three. I mean, all it takes is
a market, and there'll be a market, and all Jerry
will get is a twenty twenty six compensatory pick.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That is at
Jason locking For. You can hear the Atlantic Ocean waftily
Breezeley behind him on the base side.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Okay, definitely not yeah, I'm on the Bay side. Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I wanted to say I was yeah, but that's okay.
Check him out.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
He's got that piece coming up on the Dallas Cowboys.
Check him out on Odyssey one of five, seven, the
Fan in Baltimore, and of course the Washington Post.

about the Mets. The Mets score run, Mets are off

How does that make any sense? The season off?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
You're beating the Yankees by ten runs right now, Wait
till I tell you the text I'm getting from Fabian
and my dad. Oh, I'll do that in a few minutes.
Tell you because I texted both. They actually both replied,
I said, Hey, my internet's out. What's the score of
the Yankees White Sox game? And they both have gone
bang bang dangan dang bank dang. It's been something. It's
it's really been something. Uh, so we'll have very commited myself. However, uh, look,
(30:41):
we would a nice bow on the Olympics again, a
little Olympic withdrawal today with I've kind of wanted to
wake up and see something. But I gotta be honest
with you. I am already wing and not that he
worried me by saying everyone needs to be concerned about
me in twenty twenty eight Wemby. Uh, but I am
re worried about men's hoops, our team in twenty twenty
(31:04):
eight here against France.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Oh, I thought you were going to do something real
about infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh no, no, we'll get to We got time for that.
But let's let's let's else. There's a lot. I mean, look,
it's gonna be embarrassing if when the United States loses
to France in LA with a twenty four year old Wemby,
who let's face it, France took the United States all
the way to the wall this weekend. I mean, look,
the game was incredible, right, but to give you something
(31:33):
a little bit different other than hey, boys, Steff Curry
did it for us.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Why am I worried? Every year?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
It's it's difficult because the FOEBA rules the United States
just doesn't adhere to them. None of the things that
go on with Olympic basketball or solvable problems. They don't
have enough time to play together. It takes the coach
a while to figure out who the right players are,
what his right rotation is. Took Steve Caro while to
figure out, Okay, the guys I want to close with
or Lebron and Steph and and Booker and most likely
(32:03):
a little bit of AD maybe a little bit of NB.
But like he's got his guys and Kevin Durant right
that it took. It takes a while. The reliance on
the three and the lack of defensive prowess at the
United States has in the lack of urgency that's always
going to be there. So it's gonna be, hey, do
we have enough with our talent? Can we continue to
out talent everybody? And you look at why we won
(32:26):
this game on Saturday? Right, why do we win? And
everybody saw the end? We won because of Steph Lebron
and Kevin Durant, Right, those are the three guys that
did it. As great a country as we are with
all our incredible talent, all are incredible talent. That we
have under thirty twenty four to twenty. Anthony Everards, he's
(32:48):
a nugs. Michael Jordan guy couldn't get on the floor
when it came down to it. Who had to win
the game and win the gold medal. Steph Lebron and
Kevin Durant all guys who over thirty five and are
probably not gonna play at the next Olympics, right. Lebron
most likely is not Kevin Durant, probably not Steph, maybe
(33:10):
only because Steph you could see him still with that
same kind of of skill set. But you're talking about
guys all gonna be almost forty or over forty. These
are the guys that did it for us now. So
this tells me that all this great talent we had,
we still had to rely on three guys over thirty
five to do it. So in four years from now,
when Wemby is twenty four, Evan Fournier is through time,
(33:32):
when Wenby is twenty four and France, you gave us
all we can handle. Suddenly Jason Tatum's got enough enough
leadership to be able to do it. Anthony Edwards is
gonna be great enough that he's gonna come in and
win Olympic gold medal. We had to rely on the
guys that it won medals for the last three four Olympics.
And Steph who was so hungry for his first gold medal,
he just said, give me the bleep and ball. I'm
gonna win this all by myself in the last two minutes,
(33:53):
like I'm more like I can see us not yet,
I could see us play in France and and losing it.
We have to play them early, we have to we
have to play them in the metal round, Like this
is a team that's really coming and you you're talking
about a twenty year old Victor wembin Yama that was
still a guy who was a difference maker for the
entire game, didn't matter what the United States put out there.
(34:14):
He was a lot of fun to watch. Don't forget
about Serbia.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
And he still got Nikola Jokic who looked like he
was having the time of his life.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
France, right, France are going to be in a better
so because France is a better team that they could
be a better Serbia, but just the idea that you're
still gonna have to go through them, because look at
how much fun he had playing and choosing to be there, right,
the choice of who you're working with and being around versus.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
All right, I'm on this squad.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Those are the people from work, as they say, versus
I've got my squad around me celebrating the bronze medal
after the big victory Saturday early morning here Stateside.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
But you look at the US squad.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
The other thing they're gonna have to go through, and
they're already talking about, right, Steve Kerr probably steps aside,
neither Spolster, lou or whoever is. I think Spolster's in
the driver's seat to be the next guy up. You've
got an image problem, I think to get through a
little bit in terms of of these top players as well.
Jason Tatum on the way out, noncommittal about coming back,
(35:16):
not wanting to get into his fields.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
In the moment, and.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Grant he didn't play well when he did play, and
folks need to stop upon, you know, getting too mad
about that because he didn't earn necessarily the chances in
minutes that needed to be because the margin victory wasn't there, right,
They adn't cover in the final game sixteen and a half,
and it took a lot of Steph magic to get
you back to eleven. But for Jason Tatum Halliburton, you know,
(35:41):
he was the guy laughing saying, you know, I didn't
do anything in the group project, but I still get
the a kind of thing holding up his gold medal.
That's great, But in four years, are you gonna have
to convince guys to play?
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Man?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
There's always gonna be guys, I know.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
But I'm talking about one to go and maybe not
play like Jason Tatum. You would think he's to go
and play a big role. This is a guy coming
off an NBA championship and who barely played, and his
mom is upset.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Hey, I want to know why my son's not playing.
How many guys are gonna go?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah, I don't know how many guys are gonna say
they don't want to play because I don't want to
play on the first team.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
That could potentially lose.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
That's it, right, Like, here's a lot of things because
you go weep inside the stats. Tatum was ozo for
sixteen on jump shots in the tournament and the exhibition, so,
you know, not exactly making the most of the minutes.
He did get and I get it. It's the flow
and energy and This is where my proposal comes in.
And it's shortened here and abbreviated because of the clock.
But this is where we need the team ups right now,
(36:37):
all right, we need the NBA to conspire and get
a few of these stars to work together for a
couple of years so we don't have that feeling out
process in these games. We'll just we don't have anything,
because you're saying, because they also do the Hey, wow,
he's just trying to do too much.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
No, he threw a crappy pass. I got It's like
Curry threw one into the third row. It's got. Oh,
he's trying to do too much. No, I got it.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Go.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
We're gonna send the Knicks too far? No, come on, No,
it's not we're gonna send brunts in. We're gonna and
are you putting him in bringing loose sights?
Speaker 4 (37:09):
And are you putting him on the We're gonna set
like your comic book guy right now so you can
save him for four years.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
It's gonna run him out, show him up, and spin
him out. That's gonna be nothing less.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
No, we're gonna send the next to La. Everybody's gonna
play forty minutes and we're gonna send the Knicks. Send none, Knicks,
sayd none. Well, they'll be coming off two championships by then.
It'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
If you win the in season tournament, you get to
go represent them, telling you man and joy like the
make defect for Cameroon twenty twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Ain't got it easy.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Coming up next, we got big stuff out of the NFL.
