This is the best of the Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, good tidings, Welcome inside the Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon. Hello, Happy Monday. We're live

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Should we need to say this now? Because A I
don't know how much longer it's going to be true?
And while it is true, it's awesome. The White Sox
are leading the Yankees, not just like one nothing in
the film, as if 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

(01:17):
lose this game. Well, kind of a big deal.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
I mean the Al East, which is bunched up for
me and the White Sox. 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 had a number of top

(01:40):
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 get aid
less celebrities to show up.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Look at Jimmy. Caleb Williams is great, You're beating the Yankees.
This may be the greatest it's been for Chicago sports
since went since you since you went to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, I mean go all the way back. Because he
also had the bonus of the Prince concert at half.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, I mean, this may this may be this. I went,
I went to the Rex. This is the na Deer
of Chicago sports right now. Caleb Williams is great, and
you're beating the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Five.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
But the sad thing is, like everybody's so on board
the Caleb bandwagon.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
You just struck out Aaron that now it was the Nader.
Caleb Williams is great, the White Soxs are beating the Yankees,
and you just struck out Aaron Judge with the runner off.
I gotta be honest.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
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 1 (02:36):
Sure? Sure, but that's all right.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
He struck him out, even though it would have brought
up the tying run that it would still be in for.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
If you win this game, I'll loan you Narco for
the night, but figure out some other song. But White
Sox are beating me.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
But I mean, I can't wait to see the text
that you send to your father. And oh, I already
got to be fun.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I already said one to my dead dad. My internet's down.
What's the score of the Yankee game?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well, heel had himself a difficult night tonay so, but
neither pitcher got out of the fifth. I mean, looking
now we're watching the Dodgers. It's the return of Mooky
bleeping Bets.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, and sure Kershaw's pitch Kershaw pitch fine, Yeah, one mistake. Okay,
Mookie Bets has looked good so far in the field. Oh,
Tany's got a home run.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Mate.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Maybe things are getting to be okay for the Dodgers,
looking maybe steadying the ship a little bit.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
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. Yeah, I missed.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Something to the fact that for the last two and
a half weeks you crawled out of bed me at
about six, you at about ten thirty.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
And there's sporting of that. Son.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, don't worry though, EPL comes back this weekend. We'll
get bad to day.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Middle of the week is fine, But I miss I
kind of 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.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'm gonna see celebrating.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Toy's gonna be hanging out in a wheelchair. We'll get
to that dude in a minute. Man. 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,

(04:33):
all superstars, right. It helps. And this 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 (04:46):
Well, I mean, you gotta celebrate Long Beach, I mean
Venice Beach, I mean green Screen.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Drive by Venice Beach to get to Long Beach Drive.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
But here opportunity to celebrate America at its best, the
ports and the people that worked on them to get
you goods 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 (05:08):
You make it sound like you want season two of
the Wire. When they're in the docks, they let's get
the Sobatkas 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. Of course, Snoop kept
telling you everything. With the contract. It was Venicon going

(05:28):
Long Beach Venice adjacent was what it was. And they
force fed the world the red Hot Chili papers down
down at least in my favorite red There. You go
right into the show. I mean, no disrespect, but I
mean come on. And then we got Billie Eilish, Yeah, okay,
goot Billy okay, great, yeah, no tat gesture.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
It's a show you're taped on Saturday. I should say,
down there. I just want to get that riff going.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
But like that, 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. He made a lot of friends. 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

(06:18):
this is 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 her the
right degree of difficulty. So right after it was over,
and if you watch this, you saw that the announcers
were talking about saying, hey, they're gonna appeal right away
because they didn't consider her degree of difficulty. They appealed

(06:38):
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 minute and
four seconds. Okay. The United States says, well, we have
evidence that says it was forty seven seconds. She should

(06:58):
get the gold medal, and the Olympic Committee says, no,
she does not win the gold medal. The gold medal
or 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, 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

(07:19):
get the bronze medal. Jordan Childs finishes fifth and falls out,
And meanwhile USA gym NaSTA is saying, we're still gonna
push this, We're still gonna appeal, We're 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 from twenty sixteen. Eight years later, we figured
out that person that was doping. Yeah, here's your gold

(07:41):
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 (07:52):
So I can't make any money on this. Now it's
too late. People don't get the retraction. 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.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I won, and the only reason you're not giving it
to me is because you screwed up, right, like the judge.
And it'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.
But now no, whatever is going on here, the the
the Olympics is saying the the Court of Arbitration that no,
we're not going to reconsider this. And this is maddening.

(08:24):
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,

(08:46):
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 mistake, sir, I'm ending this phone call.
That's kind of what this is. Because you're arguing with
with a governing body that you know it's their fault
and yet still no, we're gonna not elevade 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 Childs's, I don't

(09:07):
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. 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 to

(09:28):
come and cut in half. You can get a bronze
medal and you can give out two bronze medals. That's
not unprecedented.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Where they could have taken to split. The guy said no,
I want to jump again, and then he lost. Yeah,
that was a bad decision him. But so we've seen that,
we've seen that you could do that.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
You could split a bronze dead, you eat your bronze
met 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 gonna get that product you ordered
at the beginning of November, probably sometime in February.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
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 degree of
difficulty Because we talked about a lot with some mobile
right degree of difficulty. She's spinning her body and flying,
you can say, but then she's falling off the mat,

(10:23):
which is.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
A pretty elemental thing.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Seems like there should be a bigger deduction for not
staying in the playing field.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
But okay, I get this deduction, but my degree difficulty
is so much higher. But again, the degree of difficulty
is so subjective.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
It's 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, So 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 know what it's worth in terms of
actual cash.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh, 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 (11:08):
Oh yeah, bronze medal. Nothing unless it's got a really
good name attached to it. Yeah, the guy stole Bears equipment.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, less unless Caleb Williams picture is on the bronze medal.
Here you go, bronze medal.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
By no and the you know gold there's only six
grams of gold in a five and twenty nine medal.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, but if you get Simon Biles gold medal, that's
gonna be wor. But 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 it's mostly they want to
just talking about the spot price of the metal that
I'm getting. Yeah, you get a thirty eight thousand dollars
bonus by the way, and they want to wear it
around their necks, around their house.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
That's what it is when they go to other sporting
events to say, look what I did yesterday or last week.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Lebron James, uh No, I I get your thing, but
I I really I want I want to see there
being some sort of big conspiracy that this guy's buying
up all kinds of bronze metals, melting him down. And
what's he building? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
It could be building a time machine. Well, could also
just be my own version of Iron Man. I'm gonna
build a metal I'm gonna build a suit of armor,
and I'm gonna be a matter of melting it down.
I just thought it was funny.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
That Bronze Man, Bronze Man, that you go.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
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.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Actually 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 4 (12:49):
I'll look good going goods as they shine up real nice.
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
superher or to show up.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Hey, Hey, you guys. Good, you guys got it. God
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? All right? Great? Thanks? Dude.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
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 1 (13:20):
Do you not know that? Oh, don't give it back, Jordan, John,
don't give it back. No, come and get it. 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 (13:30):
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
Now we're gonna take that back. It's been a week, man,
been a week. Hey, she want a bronze medal. We
had a great celebration. Oh she was a bronze medalist

(13:52):
that night. And now here we are, and then you
can go into the courts, right court of 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 the top. It's like
everybody can play whenever we do things legally in our country.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm gonna get this all the way to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
I'm gonna get in front of the IOC president where
he's hanging out in that labyrinth that superman built by himself.

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 get to laugh at the Jets. Uh today
Hassan Reddick, who the Jets obtained in the offseason from

(16:06):
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 what
the was going on when we traded for him. He
was acceptable to our terms. A son Reddick says the

(16:28):
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 a Son 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
down in the hotline to break it all down Longtime

(16:48):
NFL Inside with Odyssey one O five to seven The
Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post Jason Lock and for it, Jay,
what's happening, Bud?

Speaker 3 (16:56):
What's going on? Gentlemen? Uh from Ocean City.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, happy happy Monday. Can you get a song writick
into Jets camp soon?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Can?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Can you make that happen?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
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,

(17:29):
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 one
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,

(17:50):
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 accruede season,

(18:11):
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 shit thats and I 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

(18:34):
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 (18:55):
How do you feel about that? Smith more laughing stock
of your squad?

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I feel like Jason lock and 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 it's not true, and to say that's that's
the Jets now the Jets do it succinctly. Jets.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Conversely, my my bearers actually look like they got something
took in here. Jason lacafora if only for one weekend.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
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 him,
and you know, they're no longer a laughing stock, like

(19:46):
they no longer have to be sort of less than
because they're trying to figure out the most important position
in professional sports for you know, the fifty straight you know,
the fix 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
looked like it may work. And you know, the obviously

(20:09):
the you know, the Monsters of the Midway and what
they wear in the mid eighties where the quarterback, you know,
the man was just sort of along for the ride,
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

(20:32):
to keep him up right, you know, they they've they've
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 be 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

(20:54):
he handles the football, what what he does in the
pocketball control from things like that. But when it comes
to throwing the football and spinning it, he obviously there's
a reason he was drafted where he was drafted.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well, here's the thing I think. 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. They all look good, Like none
of them looked like. We're not ready. 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,

(21:31):
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 well
this weekend.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
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

(22:02):
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 ulterally not 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 fix some things out on the fly, like he
shouldn't play for a while, he won't play for a while,

(22:22):
that's Jakobe. 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 did
happened and this was Pennick's first heiny key, you know,
I think we'd all be talking about this is Michael
Pennix's football team. And I think he will continue to

(22:43):
look the part 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. Yeah, I mean McCarthy had to slow start,
but then he dates some big boy throws. There's there's
no two ways about it. So, yeah, it's really early,

(23:05):
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 1 (23:22):
No, it's it.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
We got to take the positivity coming out of week one.
Hope springs 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. Uh, the one
thing you hate about training camp is the inability of ease, Jason.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
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
you have to tune your body up and you have
to get callous. But the calculus that these coaches go through,

(23:59):
like I don't end 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 two hours

(24:21):
of practice. It's just it's inherently risky. I mean the
other day at Raven's practice, Cayle Hamilton went down and like,
you know, everything, it's like the record skipped off the turntable,
Like all the music stopped, you know, because everything's got
to soundsrack now, And like Lamar and Harball go running
over to Hamilton and like, like everything. It just it

(24:44):
sucks the life out because it's like, my god, if
this guy just tore his ac, you know, like how
what place to 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,
a in a glorified seventy five percent practice forty eight
hours after we played a fake football game. But like

(25:05):
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 long periods of time. It's it's there's just a

(25:31):
you know, there's a carnage element to this and we're
just starting to go through the criner.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Hey, lastly, Jay this weekend, Jerry Jones said he misses
CD LAMB, But then he didn't miss CD LAMB because
he wouldn't be out there at this point. So hell
help me out here. Everything I 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

(25:57):
ready to pay CD LAMB. He's not going to pay
that press on. Basically, he's been kind of telling us that, right,
haven't he?

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Oh yeah no.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
And I've got a piece coming up in Washington Post
about this. I talked to sticks to eight people who
negotiate contracts for a living in one way, shape or form,
either on the team side or for the nfl PA
or you know, individual agents, and it's rare that you

(26:25):
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 worth about one
hundred million dollars a year right now, and the longer

(26:46):
he continues to wait, the more he's costing himself. And
he's got nothing to gain here and a.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Lot to lose. And it kind of took some simpleton
stuff to get to this point. But to continue to
double down on stupidity and act like there shouldn't be
a sense of urgency or that this isn't threatening this
short and lend to some degree long term viability or
franchise is just complete bullishness. It doesn't make sense to

(27:18):
anyone that I spoke to. The problem if you're a
Cowboys fan, is you know one of the guys I
talked to goes 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

(27:41):
quarterback developed for three years isn't in the cards either.
But there's also nobody on next year's free agent market,
like there's no author out. What's you go to trade
for cousins? I mean, I guess he could, but like 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

(28:02):
million to at least secure this guy. And and insomuch
as at one point he talked to 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 Ceedee
lamp thing done eventually, because how's he going to go
to war without him? I do think he just may

(28:25):
be stuck in enough to let that get into the
season without a contract, at which 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 (28:48):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That is at
Jason locking For. You can hear the Atlantic Ocean waftily
breezey behind.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Him on the base side. Oh that was okay, definitely
not yet. I'm on the base side.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Okay. I wanted to say it was the o but
that's okay. Check them out. 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. Jay, enjoy the week man. We'll
talk to you soon.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Hey, thanks guys, Be good, buddy, stay.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Up ready for a new job. Let Express Employment professionals help.
While Express helps people in all industries fine work, it's

find out what's trending in the wide world of sports,
which is gonna wind up being a Yankee loss to

(29:37):
the White Sox. Yes, and the Yankees may get thrown
out of Major League Baseball in about forty five minutes.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Kevin Wyert has all the DS what sucks not just
beating the Yankees. They're pounding them right now. It's eleven
to two in the bottom of the seventh, So the
Southsiders really putting on the Bronx bombers right now. They're
in the bottom of the seventh inning at Yankee Stadium.
It's been at Chicago. He gets you're right. They're in Chicago.
The Red Sox and Rangers. They're tied at Fenway Park

(30:06):
right now, four to four. Corey Seeger with a big
home run to tie up the game. The Rangers added
a run in the top of the tenth. The Red
Sox then tied it up. So we're still knotted up
at four, but no one out for the Red Sox.
They do have a runner at second with nobody out,
so a chance to win the game right here. Dodgers
and Brewers in Milwaukee as Los Angeles on top five

(30:29):
to two. Mookie Betts, returning to the lineup after missing
two months with a broken hand, came back in a
big way launched a two run home run. Showyo Tani
also with the two run blast Playton Kershaw pitched well,
and now the Dodgers find themselves on top five to two.
Last chance for the Brewers as they're in the bottom
of the ninth inning, up with one out, no one

(30:50):
on base. A couple other games still in action. Blue
Jays leading the Angels four to one, Rockies lead the
Diamondbacks three to one. They're in the fourth inning, scoreless
in San Diego, Pirates and Pop and the Braves and
Giants scoreless up in San Francisco. In the American League Central,
the Guardians getting a win over the Cubs ninetyighth This
is crazy back in fourth affair. John Kinzie noel with

(31:13):
two home runs for Cleveland, but the Cubs took the
lead first, the Guardians came back took the lead themselves.
The Cubs came and tied it before the Guardians getting
the lead in the eighth inning that they would not relinquish.
The Twins had to win to keep the pace as
they're now three and a half games back in the
American League Central.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
They do beat the Royals eight to three.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Astros finish off the Ray six to one, Reds over
the Cardinals six to one, and the Guardians and Cubs.
As as I said, the Guardians do win that one
at nine to eight. In the NFL trupel and paradise
over there in New York, Hassan Redick has asked for
a trade from the Jets because he wants a new contract.
So if he gets his wish, it'd be the second

(31:54):
year in a row. The Big Jets acquisition wouldn't do much.
Aaron Rodgers one had six naps last year, so Hassan
Reddick now wanting out of town before he even plays
a single down for New York. But Joe Douglas the
juts GM did say that they won't trade Reddick. They'll
continue to find him if he doesn't report to camp
under the rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. ESPN earlier

(32:15):
today reporting that multiple teams have reached out to New
England the New England Patriots about acquiring pass rusher Matthew
Judhon and earlier today was reported that Jamir Gibbs pulling
his hamstring at Lions camp, so we'll have to see
how long he will be out there. May be hopeful
that he could come back week one, but not exactly
sure what the status in his outlook is on that injury.

(32:38):
And in college football, Georgia a top of the AP
preseason poll, followed by Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, and Alabama.
As they ran out the top five. The Bulldogs did
get forty six out of sixty two first place votes.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Back to you, guys, Thank you. Kay dub The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Carmon Log the tirec dot Com Studios.
We'll off more on that Jamiir Gibbs injury coming up
in about twenty minutes, but straight ahead, Yes, 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. It's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. Always important to understand bringing fire without racism.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Oh see, I was thinking more of the Rob Parker
about the Mets.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
The Mets score run.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
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 (33:41):
You're beating the Yankees by ten runs? Right now, Wait
till I tell you the text I'm getting from Fabiana
with 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 bang bang bang bang bang. It's been something.
It's really been some them. So we'll have very committed myself. However, look,

(34:05):
we would a nice bow on the Olympics again, a
little Olympic withdrawal today. With that, I've kind of wanted
to wake up and see something. But I gotta be
honest with you. I am already wor and not that
he worried me by saying everyone needs to be concerned
about me in twenty twenty eight wemby, But I am
really worried about men's hoops, our team in twenty twenty

(34:28):
eight here against France.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Oh, I thought you were going to do something real
about infrastructure.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Oh no, no, we'll get to We've got time for that.
But let's let's let's else no, no, no, there's a lot.
I mean, look, it's going to 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,

(34:55):
but to give you something a little bit different other
than hey, boys, Steff Curry did it for us?

Speaker 6 (35:00):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Why am I worried every year? It's it's difficult because
the FEEBA rules the United States just doesn't adhere to them.
That 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 a while to figure out, Okay, the
guys I want to close with are Lebron and Steph

(35:23):
and Devin Booker and most likely a little bit of
a D maybe a little bit of MB. 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 that 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

(35:43):
our talent? Can we continue to out talent everybody? And
you look at why we won 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

(36:03):
country as we are with all our incredible talent, all
are incredible talent that we have under thirty, twenty four
to twenty Anthony Ewards, he's 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 are over

(36:24):
thirty five and are probably not going to play at
the next Olympics, right. Lebron most likely is not Kevin Durant,
probably not Steph, maybe only because Steph you could see
him still with that same kind of skill set. But
you're talking about guys all going to be almost forty
or over forty. These are the guys that did it
for us now, So this tells me that all this

(36:46):
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 to Wemby is twenty four, and France,
you give is all we could handle. Suddenly j 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

(37:07):
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. Like I'm more like
I can see us not I could see us play
in France and and and losing. If we have to
play them early, we have to, we have to play
them in the medal round. Like this is a team

(37:28):
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. He was
a lot of fun to watch. Don't forget about Serbia.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
And he still got Nicola jokicch who looked like he
was having the time of his life.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
France, Right, France are going to be in a better
So because France is a better team, that they could
be a better Serbia.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
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 all right,
I'm on this squad. Those are the people from work,
as they say, versus I've got my squad around Me's
celebrating the bronze medal after the big victory Saturday early

(38:14):
morning here at Stateside.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
But you look at the US squad.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
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 Spolsters 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 these top players as well.
Jason Tatum on the way out, noncommittal about coming back,

(38:39):
not wanting to get into his fields in the moment.
And granted 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
and minutes that needed to be because the margin victory
wasn't there, right, They didn't cover in the final game
of sixteen and a half and it took a lot
of Steph magic to get you back to eleven. But

(39:02):
for Jason Tatum Halliburton, you know, 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 6 (39:17):
Man?

Speaker 1 (39:17):
There's always gonna be guys. But I'm talking about want
to go and maybe not play like Jason Tatum. You
would think he's gonna go and play a big role.
This is a guy coming off an NBA championship and
who barely played and his mom is upset. Hey, I
want to know why my son's not playing. How many
guys are gonna go, 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 that

(39:37):
could potentially lose.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
That's it, right, Here's a lot of things because you
weep inside the stats. Tatum was zero 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, all.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Right, we need the NBA to conspire.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
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 what you're saying, because they also do
the Hey wow, he's just trying to do too much. No,
he threw a crappy pass. I got It's like Curry
threw one into the third roads.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I got. Oh, he's trying to do too much. No,
I got it. You know we're gonna send the Knicks
too far. No, come on, no, it's not. We're gonna
send bruntson And are you putting him in loose sights?

Speaker 4 (40:32):
And are putting the plastic like your comic book guy
right now so you can save him for four years?

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Is gonna run him out, show him up, and spin
him out. That's gonna be nothing less. We're gonna send
the next to La. Everybody's gonna play forty minutes. We're
gonna send the Knicks, send none, Knicks, send none. Well,
they'll be coming off two championships by then. It'll be fine.
If you win the in season tournament, you get to
go representing Man and Joe made defect for Maroon twenty

(41:02):
twenty eight. Ain't easy. Coming up next, we got big
stuff out of the NFL. This is Fox Sports Radio.
As the Giants bat in the bottom of the fifth inning.
There have been two hits in this game, both of
them by the Giants. It is a nothing, nothing game.
Blake Snell has given up no hits through five innings

(41:27):
to the Braves. Snell's line five innings, eighty one pitches,
nine strikeouts. This is Blake Snell's line. Through five innings. Now,
the one thing I am gonna say is that he
is already at eighty one pitches. This is a lot
of pitches through five. You want to be if you

(41:48):
want to pitch a complete game, you need to be
somewhere in the sixties through five innings. That that's kind
of where you want to be. And then at you know,
seventy seventy five pitches after said so, he is at
a lot of pitches. So he's gonna need if he's
going to continue to go here with this no hitter
and stay in there for another four innings, he's gonna
need a couple of quick innings because if he gets up.

(42:09):
He threw one fourteen for his no hitter, so you
got to think, okay, they'll leave him in for that
at least up to there again. But that's still you're
talking about only another forty pitches over the next four innings.
He really needs a couple of economical innings, a couple
of less than ten pitch innings if he's gonna be
able to do.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
But he's getting a lot of help because you have
the fastest working pitcher in baseball on the other side,
also throwing a gem and Chris Hale.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, Chris Sale just caught a line, saved his own life. Line.
Drive hit right back up the middle. He spears, it
looks like he's gonna take his head off, I know,
and he gets out of the fifth inning, the sixth. Favorite, dude,
if you had Chris Sale, you might have him. You
might you might have like thirty wins if you had Sorry, sorry,
what are you doing to me?

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Why can't I have nice things?

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (42:57):
This is great, Alright, I will I'll get to my
uh the Yankees by ten, I'll get in a few minutes.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what my dad's and
Fabiano's text about the Yankee game on.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
But anyway, back to the point is that Sales working
so efficiently and only giving up two hits as we
go scoreless into these six is that he's not sitting
and languishing on the on the bench you're hanging out
in the dead out. He's back to work pretty fast,
so speedy, game two aces getting after it. And you
look at what Snell's done since coming back from injury.

(43:27):
Just a ridiculous run and another great outing here. Uh yeah,
he's gonna need to get bailed out by the braves
hitters if he's.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Going to finish this thing.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
But you know what, it's fun to watch and have
these kind of storylines on on Monday regards now.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Now, because I do have a piece of advice for you,
piece of advice for you that that stopped caring.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
No no, no, no, no no, because with a lot of things,
I mean, Tyser just told me about stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Nod just stop. I know I'm gonna I'm gonna help
you with this. Because when we talk about the White Sox,
right and here they are again, they're beating the Yankees
twelve to two.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
And he was cool that in the last two weeks
we've got to talk about the White Sox winning a
couple of times.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Aaron Boone might get fired in the next ten minutes.
I will say this is every time you sit here
and there seems to be guys all over Major League
Baseball that are really good that used to play for
the White Sox, you lose a lot of sympathy because
people think, well, the White Sox just a bad team.
But every time you go, boy, look at all these guys,

(44:23):
how good they are? Guy playing in different cities.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
Now, when you had that all star team that was
all former experts.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
You lose the sympathy of people. I feel bad for
Harmon because his team is so bad. Oh no, wait,
his team had really good players.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
But that's why you feel bad for me, is that
they don't retain them.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
No.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Now, they hold you just as responsible as the front office.
You're just as responsible. I wish I had the cloud
of gets it is.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
You're just I'd love to have to sit down with
Steve Stone right now, who's pondering his baseball mortality and
deciding after these next whatever it is, forty four forty
five games, whether he wants to do the same.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
You got Ryan's doorf who's eighty eight years old. Yeah,
we talked about him as Jerry Jones. Ya.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
No, No, like Jerry, at least cut a check. Rys
doorm ain't doing that. No, he tried it a couple
of times. He tried to emulate the Braves and guess what,
Snake Hays ain't doing it again.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
So we'll keep you updated on baseball again. The White
Sox putting the finishing touches on. What's gonna be a
twelve to two win over the As and Blake Snell
no hit her through five against the Braves. However, the Braves,
I believe just did he just walk Jorge Soilira again.
I think that's the third time he's walked tonight. Or
did he hit him? He either walked him or he

(45:40):
hit him and the Brave The Braves have the leadoff
battery of the inning on it first for this one,
so we'll keep you updated again. But look, let's we
have to talk about this. Yeah, he walked Merrifield and okay,
all right, look.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Check.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
So then he got thrown out trying to steal a big,
big NFL story today Hassan Reddick, who for the last
year has been one of the best defensive linemen in
the NFL, one of the best at get into the quarterback.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
Oh, that was one of the greatest acquisitions in the offseason.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
You shut up. So the Jets make a trade for
him and they remake their defensive line because hey, they
had a lot of guys coming up. They couldn't pay
them all, So this is what they did. They let
a couple of guys go, They let Bryce huff go,
They let John Franklin Myers go. Hey, we're replacing you
with Hassan Reddick, who is twenty nine, one of the
best pass rushers in the game. Awesome, what a great

(46:34):
defensive line. The Jets trade for him, and there's talk
at the time when the Jets make the trade for
him that, well, I really want a new contract if
I'm gonna play. If you talk to the Jets, the
Jets say they knew, and Hassan Reddicks people knew we
traded for him. We expect them to be with the
team and we can talk about it. Hassan Reddicks team

(46:54):
will say the Jets knew I wanted a new contract
and they traded for me. Anyway, So either the Jets
screwed it up by trading for a player they didn't
know they could sign, or the Jets screwed it up
by trading for a player who then subsequently told them
I'm not going to sign. In any event, the Jets
screwed it up. And now today Hassan Reddick has asked

(47:15):
for a trade from the Jets. The Jets responded very
quickly saying we're not going to trade him. That statement out, yeah, well,
and I'll tell you why. And the Jets said we're
not going to trade him. We look forward him coming
in playing for us. We didn't obtain him to trade him.
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Let me just say this.
First thing I want to say is my doctor told

(47:36):
me count the tenth and stuff.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
This is the Jets being the Jets, and this is
why they're hoping that eight is the guy that covers
up all the ills they have. Aaron Rodgers, regardless of
whatever's coming out of biography of him, whether he was
immunized or not, doesn't matter. They are hoping, Hey, Aaron Rodgers,
cover up the fact that we're the Jets. Be great
and no one will care that we're the Jets, because,

(48:01):
quite honestly, Joe Douglas Robert Sala are going to get
fired at the end of the year if they are
no good. Joe Douglas might get fired anyway, because how
do you decide, we're gonna go get this guy and
you don't know that you can sign, you don't know
that he's gonna come in and play for you.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
How do you do that unless you've got the absolute
framework of the deal in place, where you've got the
tacit agreement, and maybe you're quibbling over one or two
last minor details.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
How do you make the deal? There's no way. And
here's the thing. While it's a he said, he said,
there's no way that the Jets did all their due
diligence because if they did, that would have gotten out.
It would have got and they wouldn't have said it
because they want a sign Reddick to play, but it
would have been sources say, hey, son, Reddick lied to
the Jets. He told them he would he would play

(48:45):
there without a new contract, and here he is pulling
this thing at the last minute. If that was the case,
the Jets would have leaked that out. So this tells
me they thought, yeah, no, we can sign them, and
now they're screwed. And now this And you know why
when I see this story and I go, I look
at it and I want to look at it from
a perspective of of how can I minimalize this because
it just sucks? Is that at this point does it

(49:07):
really matter? Does it really matter? The guy he's been
in the building on one day, April Fools Day to
take his physical. He has not been around. I'm serious.
He was in that. He was in one Jets drive
one day, took his physical that's it. He's not been
around the team for the all off season, didn't go
through a ta's, didn't go through workouts, he's missed the
first two weeks in the first game of training camp.

(49:28):
What kind of year is he really gonna have? What
kind of I mean, what kind of year? You guys
can work out all they want, but they're not in football. Shit,
we know you know you can work. Oh on work
that worked? I'm ready. No, it's not the case. So
what kind of year is he really gonna have? He's
and and this is where here's nobody wins, except if
you want to laugh at the Jets, because he's either
gonna have a year where he's not as good because

(49:49):
he didn't have a normal off season, or he's gonna
get hurt because he's gonna try to at some point,
he's gonna try to rush back, and he's gonna get
hurt and have some kind of soft tissue injury like
a hamstring or a groin er something, and he's gonna
be in and out of the lineup the entire season.
And that or that's gonna happen. And how this works
out is that not only is it bad for the Jets,
but it's bad for him because he wants more money

(50:10):
next year. Guess what, he ain't gonna get it. If
he doesn't play up a big year this year, he's
not gonna get any money next year. Normally, and this
is how the Jets find a way to take being
ridiculously dumb to new heights is that usually in a holdout,
somebody wins. Either the player wins because the team caves
and they give him the money, or the team wins
because the player caves and he comes in, or they

(50:30):
both win because the player comes in, the team signs
and everybody's happy.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
No.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
No, this is a case where nobody wins because the
Jets don't win because they don't have him, and Reddick
doesn't win because at this point, what kind of year
is he gonna have. It's gonna be bad, or he's
gonna get hurt and he's not gonna get paid next year,
and he's gonna say, boy, why did they just play
for fourteen and a half million dollars this year? The
Jets talked about guaranteeing his contract for next year, but no, no,
I want more money because the top pass rushers are
getting thirty million a year. Nobody wins here, nobody wins,

(50:57):
and the Jets look ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Now I'd say he can pull them leve On Bell,
but he got his next contract after not taking the
fifteen million. He got it from the Jets, So this
would actually be the Jets at the origin story of this.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Here's where I'm gonna bring back.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
You talked about Aaron Rodgers, and this is where I
don't really give a damn about his biography, what words
he used, that's all that's all done.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
You like him or you don't.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
It's one of the greatest regular season quarterbacks we've ever seen.
But here, here's where he can become a hero to
New York and New Jersey. This is the You go
to Joe Douglas and you've got a lot of sway right.
Look at all those guys he got contracts for. Look
at the fact that Hackett is still drawing a paycheck
from your team. Go on down the line, go into
that office and figure out what the dollars are to

(51:47):
make it make sense, and you adjust your deal. You
add another year, You move some monies around, and you
become the hero. You said monies, some moneies, move those
money so you can get Reddick in and even if
it takes four weeks to get him up to speed,

(52:07):
you get him up to speed. This is where your
quarterback needs to be a leader and get You don't
want to get involved necessarily in guys wallets, but this
is one where it's clearly public that there's that bit
of a disagreement, and you've got the cash and the
cash reserves to go and help this thing, and you
can become a hero and a lot of the angst
and ill will felt by Jets fans and NFL fans nationwide,

(52:32):
you can get the Jets out from some of their
problem by being a problem solvy yourself.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
He's gonna say, yeah, yeah, that's great. I took less
money last year. Yeah okay. Now my real worry with
him is that he's gonna go wow. Now I really
see why nobody ever wanted to play here. Now I
see why this team is a laughing stock. We traded
for a guy who's supposed to be our best defensive
lineman and we can't even get him in campus. I'm
trying to give you a tim didn't know, right, That's
my worry. Aaron Rodger's not gonna give money back to

(52:59):
help this Clay show. I mean, come on, man, how
many stories do I say end with and the Jets
look ridiculous. It's like you can tack that on to
the end of anything. I was trying to help him
restore his image. Nobody looks good. The Jets look awful,
and and at this point, what does it matter. He's
not gonna play, he's not gonna have a big seat.
It doesn't matter. It's an awful thing. And again I

(53:20):
keep going back to boy, hopefully Aaron Rodgers is great,
because if he's great, that'll come. He's got to cover
it up.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
It's all Wilson, it's all Grease Hall, and it's all
Aaron Rodgers. I was trying to find just one thing
in an alternate universe that may have helped. Clearly, I
was the sarcasm bucket was filling up.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
No, yeah, now I'm too repped up about this story.
I'm too red. You can't just calm me down from
that with this any day. I see that. But this
this is not new, dude.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
But that's the thing, though, the only thing that's new
about this is they had to issue a statement.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Because when has a guy ever played for a team
not played and requested a trade. I mean, come on,
that doesn't happen. He's maybe Jets look ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
He's had he's had a spy at every practice who's
told him how badly this is gonna end. And he
doesn't want his name attached to it, and they wouldn't
cut him off a big enough check.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Jet's gonna jet, Yo, Jet's gonna jet the Jason Spencer
with Mike Carmon Love your tirec dot com Studios. No,
you can't because the Jets just and the Jets look ridiculous,
taken end every sentence and.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
The Jets look can we do that? In the Star
Wars font on a T shirt dot dot dot.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Quick Update, Blake Snell gets through six no hits for
the Braves, looking for his second no hitter in three starts.
It is still a nothing, nothing game with the Giants
batting in the bottom of the sixth inning. Snell is though,
up to ninety eight pitches through six innings. Hard to
believe he's gonna be out there to see the end
of this one, but you never know.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Coming up next, we get into the the biggest takeaway
