Oh who Michael Park Uh oh oh he's a lit
so Oh. I like that Eye in the Sky song.

You're talking about the Michael Parsons project. That's a great song.
I Am the Maker of Rules. I love that song.
Worked out to that one in the eighties. It's Jerry.
I like that Stenda song. Oh the Internet, I Can
Read your mind. Oh. I did that with a karaoke too. Yeah,
that was great back in the eight Katherine back and
I would do that at karaoke back in Nashville. That
(02:05):
was fun. Uh. That was when the Dukes of Hazzard
show was so popular and I used to dress like
like the Schneider Kid and uh, that was what it
did for Halloween. Oh good, ran into Catherine back. We
did Eye in the Sky and it was kind of fun,
and then we did did a little bit of the
theme song. Uh Waylon Jennings came in and uh, it
was it was, it was just a big party, and
(02:26):
uh what was the question? I just gonna do a
whole thing about Daisy Dukes and whatever. But then you
just kept going. You you had a James Carville. I
just read Will Ferrell kind of moment there.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I just read an interview with Catherine Box says she
still wears her Daisy Dukes, but you gotta follow.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Me to the beach. Well, let's go like she was.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
She was on some kind of show because they're doing
some kind of anniversary for the Dukes of Hazzard, and
she goes, oh, I still wear him.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You got to follow me to the beach though. It's like, wow,
she still wears the Daisy Dukes. Hey, you know what,
stay with uh stay with your thing, right. That made
her famous mhm and gave her a lot of big
time fans and creeps. Sure so, sure, so you stay
with it. Uh. And and in the end, if you're comfortable,
(03:11):
be comfortable. I don't I don't know what Catherine, Bob,
you know the now, but you know the show. Show
show runner called me and said, what do you think
that the dude what she should wear? We're thinking like
big long basketball shorts. And I said, no, go with
the short ones, to cut off ones like they're they're
gonna call them George it sometime soon, So make go
(03:32):
go with the George. I think that'll be a good look.
And they said, oh for for the guys too, No,
put the guys in jeans, and uh, make sure that
the door doesn't open when they get it out of
the car. They just kind of jump in and jump out.
That that's that, that's really cool. That's how I get
into my cars. I just get in, jump out, get in,
jump out. Now I have Steven help me. Uh, Stephen
kind of picks me up and throws me in the
car and then grabs me and pulls me out. Did
(03:53):
John Stockton's run at Gonzaga in those shorts begin before
they started filming? And was he the inspiration? I bet
Gonzaga to uh to win the championship? Keep falling short. Uh,
don't make any money nothing in the white soxe. Nothing's
more excited watching the Gonzaga Bulldogs because you know one thing,
They're gonna go really far in the tournament and not
(04:15):
win anything. That's it's gonna be a big deal. They'll
get as far as they can and not win it all. Jerry,
would you like to get that far in a tournament? Well,
that's why I talk about I miss CD, but I
don't really miss him. I miss him from the standpoint
of I miss I miss him, But do I miss him?
Uh No, because I wouldn't miss him at this particular juncture.
(04:36):
But I miss him, but I don't really miss him.
I don't miss him right now. You really went back
to the at this it would not be prudent, not
be prudent to talk about not not proved to go.
Catherine Box seventy years old, seventy Happy birthday, Catherin Buck
in March first. But yeah, well it was late. It's
we were belated. Happy belated birthday, Catherine. Bobby Cohen never
(04:57):
wished anybody a blated birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Celebrity sold d Birthday yesterday because Mary forgot them because
he was at the Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Thanks Mary. As our executive producer Bo Bets and did
want to point out as we had that Dodger conversation.
Somehow they still have the best record in baseball. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
No, the Yankees and the Dodgers all have all kinds
of problems and still twenty games over five hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We still roll no matter what kind of problems we have.
I'd love to have those problems. We got so many problems,
and Mookie bleeping bets came back. Uh. This is a
great story because this is one of those that makes
you think, did this really happen? This is a resport
for a report. This is a report. This is a spork.
A spork is apoon, a spoon and a four. This
(05:42):
is a report from SI's Hondo Carpenter. Oh, by way,
I love guys. If your name is Hondo, that's really cool.
Is your name really Hondo or is that what you've
a dondo?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Hondo said, No, if your name is Hondo, it means
you're really good at basketball.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
You drive a really cool like dune buggy everywhere Hondo, Hondo.
That's good, Honda, and you talk on a CBNDO. Now
we're going back to the Duke's Messa. Sports Illustrated's Hondo
carp I wish I would change my name to Honda.
It's never too late. Hondo.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Carpenter reported that when the twenty twenty three NFL draft
rolled around, so just just last year, yeah, four Raiders GM,
Dave Ziegler wanted to take c J. Stroud, and according
to this report, he wanted to trade up to get Stroud. However,
Josh McDaniels supposedly vetoed what could have been a chance
(06:31):
for Vegas to get c. J.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Stroud Stroud. Of course, I ended up getting drafted by
the Texans at number two, and he was phenomenal. And
the Raiders went through whatever they went through last year
with Jimmy Garoppolo giving him a three year deal for
seventy two million dollars, and now look where they are
and it's Gardner, Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. According to a
League source quote, Josh wanted his way and wouldn't budge.
I think you could sum it up that Dave wanted
(06:54):
to be a team, but Josh wanted it his way,
and I think the ambiguity of the relationship allowed Josh
to steamrolled him. Okay, now here's plenty of time to
go to Burger King now, and if your way with
the Raid or that workout for you. This is something
(07:16):
where you see this and it's easy to believe because
it's the Raiders. I mean, of course it's the sure
believe this, but really I'm not. I'm not standing up
for the Raiders. But I see this and I go, yeah,
I don't know. Like, first of all, the head coach
overrules the GM. Really, really the head coach over just
I understand it's the Raiders and the Division of labored,
but the head coach completely overrules the GM. Yeah, I
(07:39):
don't know about that. See, I think I would have
believed it during the Gruden whatever was going on. In
terms of a power strust.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I can't see Josh Daniel having that level of no, no,
we have our guy.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
We wait what Yeah, no, we don't want to do it.
Oh but we could go up and get that we
get the number ten no no scond year with the
squad right because he hired in in early twenty twenty two.
That I it doesn't pass the smell test. I think
it's just a convenient we get off the hook because
we can blame him and since at points his credibility
(08:13):
in terms of how he's dealt with media and other
internal things has been questioned that. You know, it's very
easy to have a fall guy. Now, look, could they
have had a could they have had a disagreement and
they talk about it and they decide Yeah, I could
see that.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But in the end he overruled, like like the GM
was about to make the phone call the paperwork.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
And he jumps in at the end and says, stop
the press, like Michael Keaton in the paper, stop the
not making this trade. We're not going up to number
two against C. J. Stroud. We're not doing it. Oh okay,
Like I find that hard to believe, even with even
though it's the Raider, even with the Raiders, it's the Raiders.
I I find that hard to believe. Again, I mean,
given what you know what though, it's again it's like
(08:57):
you go down this logic path it in you go,
I know, and you hit that speed bump again going
to the Mayock slash Gruden era in terms of whatever
the power structure and decision making process was there that
you'd think, all right, we got we cleared that Gruden
(09:19):
had to go away, and now we're into the next
phase and you got a new GM. And so here's
how it's gonna go. But it's it's Mark Davis, and
we know how that has worked in the past, even
owing back to his father before him, that I can't
categorically rule it out as bad as it smells terrible,
(09:42):
like the it smells of a this guy's gone. So
we can throw this out and feed media this because
while it absolves Ziggler, it absolves all the current front
office guys of wrongdoing, with C. J. Stroud dominating bad Cheese. Man,
this smells like bad Joe, like I read it earlier today, geez,
(10:04):
and there's the pause, but like you like whenever someone says,
well it's the Jets, Yeah, yeah, okay, But here's but
if if that was just it, I would say, okay, Raiders.
But here's the other part is that the way this
story has been presented, and I was just reading you
from from from the recap, it was and instead the
Raiders signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a three year, seventy two
(10:25):
million dollar deal, and look how that turned out, right,
Garoppolo does hurt Now he's done. I mean, now, McDaniels
had a bunch of numbers. But no, but understand, understand,
this isn't this makes it seem like the story was, oh,
you had a choice and no on CJ.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Stroud, Let's go get Jimmy Garoppolo. They signed Jimmy Garoppolo
in March. He signed on Saint Patrick's Day for three
years and seventy million dollars. The NFL Draft is a
month and a half later, or almost a month and
a half later, So this wasn't a case of oh,
we had the choice, and we know they had already
Signedjimmy Garoppolo and gave him a lot of money. So
(11:02):
now when this comes up, we could move up to
get c J. Stroud at number two.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Was this really Josh McDaniel saying no, no, or was this, well, boy,
we could go up to get him. But we just
signed a guy for three years and stead before Atlanta,
and now we're gonna get c J. Stroud. I don't know.
It's easy to talk yourself out now. Look, I would
have never gone and give Jimmy Garoppolo that money because
that was dumb. Because Jimmy Garoppolo's done nothing but get hurt.
(11:28):
So that now he's in LA and he's suspended to
start the year, That's where Raider is going to Raider.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Hey, we decided to go get Jimmy Garoppolo. A right,
that's stuff, that's a Raider's thing.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
But if you go out and spend the money on
that quarterback and then you have the chance, well, are
we gonna draft c J. Stroud? We just gave this
guy a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We're projecting at that point, Jimmy Garoppolo is going to
be our quarterback for three years. Meanwhile, you and I
and everybody else outside of Vegas knows Garoppolo is just
gonna get hurt.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You're looking for a new guy in in three months.
But they thought this is our plan. Garoppolo is our
quarterback for the next three years. And and and really,
is it worth it to trade up to get CJ. Stroud,
not to draft CJ. Stroud if he comes up at
you know, seventeen or twelve wherever we're drafting, but to
use whatever we need to to trade all the way
up to number two. Is that worth it? Yeah? I
(12:14):
don't know. So I can see the Raiders talking themselves
out of that. So when I see this story, I
find it hard to believe that this is just Josh
McDaniel's running into a room and slamming his stuff down, going,
you're gonna make this trade. You didn't tell me we're
having this meeting. Is this the meeting where you're trading
up to number two for c J. Stroud? No, I
told you, let's go out and get Jimmy Garoppolo. It's
not how it went. They signed Garoppolo, they had a
chance maybe to go get CJ. Stroud, and the head
(12:37):
coach then overruled the general manager. I'm sorry, I'm not
saying it. Yeah, because I forget the timeline because he
failed the physical right, like he had a problem with
his foot. So they reworked the deal and so the
dead cap wasn't horribly prohibitive to what they needed to
do with the rest of the roster, and they end
(12:57):
up letting him go after the one season. But the
question of you know that timeline and what you know
and what's been confirmed kind of like we're dealing with
some of these injuries. Now, well McCarthy's gonna have to
have surgery. Well, what's gonna what's the end result? Jamiir Gibbs.
Is it just a hamstring? Is it something more severe? Uh,
even even if it is just a hamstring, is it
(13:18):
something that's gonna preclude him from opening the season uh
with the Lions and going on down. Here's another example
of all, right, what we think we know versus what
we do. Uh, and when we get to that draft room,
is that still on the board because we saw in Atlanta? Right.
We've been talking about it a lot with Captain Kirk
and Michael Pennix Junior and Kirk being well, maybe I
should have taken the one year with the Vikings if
(13:40):
I knew this, and and pontificating and all that. But
for the Raiders, and this just looks like a nice
piece of hindsight to get some of the blame off
of them. It's like, well, he's already gone, so let's uh,
let's just put it there.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swolling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen from the
Tyreck dot Com studios. Uh So we got more NFL
on the way coming up next. Boy, the big injury
that we're gonna break down for you that's affected the NFL.

But whenever a team becomes the first team to be
eliminated in Major League Baseball, we need to spend time
on this. Now, still mathematically alive for the playoffs, however,
(16:09):
no longer eligible to win their division.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Way back and Colm goodbye.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Struggling base is loaded two down, Cousins looking to lock
it down O two.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Pat swing What a round strike three got him?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That's the ball game, Yankees winning for to one.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yankees ready to network on the call. That win by
the Yankees tonight. Juan Soto's three home runs Yeah in
a four to one winning it's three home runs. H
The White Sox have been eliminated from They're still alive
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
They can still back their way.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
In according to me, either not, but they have been
eliminated from the AL Central.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, they now have an X next in their name.
They cannot win the American League Central. Today's date is
May seventeenth. Just they s in rewind, might as well
have called it then. Take that for data. I think
we really could have called it then. Now like an
(17:19):
electoral map, and I'm sitting there reading the precincts. It's like,
I don't need any more data points, like, but it's
really early. The polls just going no, it's done. No, No,
it's over. It really is, it's over, Johnny, No, it's
still exactly And and here's the thing is, so you
get eliminated from the AL Central, which you know, again
matter of time. I wonder where people had on the
(17:40):
elimination factor. So it should be.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
They're forty two and a half games out of first
place today, so you know now with forty two they
can't do it. Now when you look at the wild
card standings, the White Sox are thirty six and a
half games out.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So by this time next week, oh ayeah, they could
be eliminating to Ben All from everything. Wayoff contention, the
run differential for the White Sox this year is minus
two forty four. That's a full fifty four runs more.
That's like the temperature it was in the thing with
Kurt Russell. It's minus two hundred and forty four degrees
(18:20):
here on the North Pole, Fantastice. We are the way
folks should go back and watch. It was that nineteen
eighty The no thing was eighty eighty one or eighty two.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
The next worst team run differential are the Rockies, and
they're not even at minus two hundred, but the White
Socks at minus two forty four.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
There's no other team in the American League that's at
minus one hundred. The Angels are close, but not quite,
still on pace to have the worst record in the history.
Let's go Major League Baseball. You're gonna fail fail spectacularly. Well,
they are, and we are absolutely doing it. We had
that big run yesterday called to the elimination of the
(19:00):
Yankees and them being dissolved or relegated one or the other. Instead,
Wan Soda comes back with the heroism of three home runs,
and now they're on the cusp of he and Judge
becoming the first Yankee teammates to both hit forty home
runs in a season in a long, long time.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, you are the Haley's comet, everybody's hey, we're gonna
watch this. We don't see this that often a team,
this band in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Look at them. Go Okay, that goes Haley's comment. Well,
but if anything, it should shut people up of the
old big market, small market whatever, because you could be
in a huge market and really play like you have
no money and no prospects. White Sox space uh so
again got me to the to the Bears though, Oh yeah,
(19:45):
you're gonna have a much better season with shots so
much preseason for the Northwestern Wildcats and Caleb Williams way
much better. But let's go trust me. Like we talked
a lot, the era of good feeling for the Bears
is here. But see it's tough. It's like I want
the bandwagon fans, but I want to one of those
teams that people care about like that. But I want
the people in our industry to back the hell off.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, all right, but I love the Bears era of
good fit. You're a super Bowl contender for the next time.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Is trying to hurt me? Because if it goes bad,
you're just gonna go HAA Bears can't get out of
their own ways. Bears be bears, and I see it already,
trust me, Caleb Williams, is that good? Now?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
A big injury today in the NFL that we're still
figuring out how big of an injury it is. JJ McCarthy,
who was drafted in the first round by the Minnesota
Vikings to be their quarterback of the not too distant future,
has a bad knee injury and maybe out a few weeks,
could be out as much as the rest of this season,
(20:45):
which would be a nine month recovery ligament damage to
his knee. He reported feeling sore on Monday. Look, you
had a really good debut for the Vikings this past week. Yeah,
didn't you know?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Look, you know me, I'm not real high on JJ
McCarthy being a great quarterback, but he had a good game.
Didn't look like the game was too much for him.
And then all of a sudden comes in on Monday
and guess what, my knee hurts. And now they're not
gonna know how long McCarthy is out until they actually
go in and do the surgery later on this week,
(21:18):
so it could be a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It was a few weeks. When's he gonna take over
a starting quarterback. Maybe middle of the season, maybe end
of the season, depends on his recovery. If it's longer
than that, it's does he go into next year as
the starter? Do they still bring Sam Darnold back? So
there's a lot of different things it could be. There's
two big takeaways from this. The first one is that
and this is time. This is just a medical thing.
I'm not a doctor, but I always like to question
(21:43):
the medical profession because why not, because it's fun. We
do it in football. It probably just drives doctors crazy
when people do stuff like this.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
But we don't have the technology now to know how
bad of a ligament injury someone has until we cut
into him. Like they don't know until they're actually doing
the surgery.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I see on TV all the time. We got all
kinds of technology. Look inside people's body. Look you see
it right here. You see this is where the alien
is growing, right next to the pancrea. It's all here's
right here.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I see.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
House was a show was off the air for ten years,
and they had incredible diagnostics. They had diagnostics that they
would put people in like an MRI tube and ask
them questions and they could tell if they were lying
or not. It's like a light attuck there. She would
watch where their brain would go. We don't have that.
We don't have that now. You can't just put JJ
McCarthy in some kind of I don't know, some kind
of sphigma monometer or some kind of I'm just trying
at the walk. I'm just going with all kinds of
(22:31):
house terms. H. You can't put him in some kind
of machine and say, oh, yeah, this is the ligament
that really can't wait till we cut into him. Really,
we don't have that now. I think we got to
go in and see, you know, the extent of the repair,
and then you never know how quickly the guy's get
to recover, because what's the better way to do it
could be nine months of recovery. If he's back in
three you're a genius. If you say, ah, it's four
(22:53):
to six weeks and it takes nine months for him
to come back, you suck and he's soft, right, I
mean that's the way our media works, right, isn't that
where we're going? And we just did a whole weekend
of this. Hey, the US teams barely won, but they
but they won. They won't go it doesn't matter. They
didn't cover the spread, they weren't convincing enough, this wasn't
(23:15):
a big enough shot. Whatever else you want to argue
about with here, you know you err on the side
of caution and just say, you know what, we're really
not going to go in there, because if you give
wrong information or what can be perceived and parsed out
word by word as something deceptive or erroneous. One if
it's erroneous, now we're coming for your license. No. Yeah.
(23:38):
But the other part is just from a if you
open it up to hey, he should be back on
the field soon. It's like, all right, JJ had that
great opener. You saw Jefferson run around like a man.
Let's go, let's go all of that stuff. He'll be
back by the second quarter of the season. We'll be
ready to go. And if he's not bad thing, man,
(24:00):
bad things.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
The other part of the story is this is that
this is why I love Twitter, because there's times where
I love Twitter. There's times where I can't stand Twitter.
There's times when Twitter is a lot of fun. There's
times when Twitter is the worst place in the world.
But today was fun because JJ McCarthy. The report of
this gets out, and all of a sudden, everywhere you look,
people are posting videos nine second videos of Sam Darnold
(24:25):
completing a pass and look at the dig rowdy throws here.
Nobody can make a throw like this. And then it's
a lot of fantasy insiders and experts saying, oh, with
news are this injury? Sam Darnold becomes a top fifteen
fantasy quarterback in the NFL. And I love this because
I go, you're all morons, all You're all morons.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Sam, we do that fantasy your PODCA you're all more
with Smith and Hard. I just thinking of that one
scene for the Office when Idris Elbow was the boss
and U, Jim and Dwight are doing doing some kind
of routine in front of him and he and they finished,
and he just goes, you two up, both morons, and
Jim goes okay and he walks away. Is that they're morons?
(25:11):
Sam Darnald was signed to be a placeholder for JJ McCarthy. Okay,
he was signed to be a placeholder JJ McCarthy as
soon as he showed he was able to take the job,
We'll take the job now.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Likely before the injury that would have been sometime in
the early ish part of the season. You don't want
to throw him in right away. Get him used to
the NFL first, there's no need to. That's why you
signed Darnald to be that bridge quarterback. So McCarthy's taking
over the job. Oh but now that McCarthy's hurt, Darnald
becomes a top fifteen fantasy quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
And look how good he is? No, no, no, stop.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
He didn't suddenly get better because JJ McCarthy got hurt.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Well he does, no, but he does. No, he doesn't. Yeah,
he does because he's not gonna be potentially not gonna
be there.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Right, but here's the thing. If Sam Darnald was gonna
be good, he'd be a top fifteen fantasy court regards
who was sending behind him, he'd be a top fifteen
fantasy quarterback. Right.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
No, he's look at the throws he's making. Sam Darnald's
gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
But all of a sudden, it's like you see people
on the ear going, oh, now, Sam book, how good
Sam's gonna be? Oh, this is gonna be said.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, he doesn't suddenly get better because a guy got hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
No, it's but the logic I'm using on this is
the it would have taken guts to say that Sam
Donald was going to be a top fifteen quarterback. Now it's, well,
we have to have some reaction to McCarthy's injury. What
can it be this weapons let's go more on. Don't
be a moron, but I'm not doing it. Look, you're
(26:39):
not doing it. If it's a case of where a
number one receiver gets hurt and then it's okay, there's
one hundred and thirty targets out there now and everybody
elevates because someone's got to become the number one. And
then you go ask Matt Laflourd. He gets pissed. It's
really mad. We'll have more on that.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
But but it doesn't suddenly for a quarterback, your stock
just doesn't rise because the guy pushed you is hurt.
It doesn't mean you're suddenly gonna be great. Like he
wasn't a top How is he not a top fifteen
fantasy quarterback?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
But now he is? Wait a minute, he was good
because if you thought he was gonna be good, he
keep the job right. If you thought he was a
great quarterback, look at this dig roud, he throws. Nobody
could throw a route like this. If you thought he
was that good, and the Vikings thought he was that,
they wouldn't have drafted JJ McCarthy. Bottom line, he was
always a placeholder. But now he's gonna unfortunately play more
(27:28):
because JJ McCarthy is hurt. But this doesn't suddenly elevate him.
And now all look they're gonna make a run now
in the NFC North. How they're gonna click on this
article and it's gonna go viral. I mean, I I
see that, and I go one has no bearing on
the other.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But you've been in this business, and that's why I
can say you think that you're a moron. That's why
I get that because strip.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It all aways. People will click on that. Strip you
take this, you're a moron. Jason and Mike Debatan of
the day, Strip it all away, strip it all away?
Right with all that, there's only one thing wrong with
Sam Donald. There's there's only even with Donald there and
all of those weapons, name all that, there's only one
thing Hockinson, Madison to Jefferson, all the way to Madison.
(28:17):
Sure everybody, Madison and Jefferson are merciless there's only one
thing wrong with Sam Donalds. But you were saying all
the names like Washington, I actually had the cakes going.
You would do guns and ships. Yeah, so again, boil
it down for me, what is the one reason that
(28:38):
he can't be top fifteen?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I read elect to friends, they send a ship. There's
there's only one thing wrong with Sam donald We.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Want to get hercules Mully. I just like the way
he keps jumping into the sets of corsets. There's only
one thing wrong with Sam donald one thing. What's the
one thing? It's only what they wrong. He stinks. I've
watched him sting. Now he's been in the league for
seven years. I watched him stink with the Jets. I
(29:06):
watch them stink with the Panthers. Suddenly, now this is
gonna be it for him. I've watched them good. I
watched him stink everywhere, and maybe he got rehabilitated as
member of the forty nine. For Sam Darnold still doesn't
know what he sees downfield. He's still misses open wide receivers.
He's not Is there a chance that he's you know, hey,
I'm gonna have a geno smith here. I'm my Gino
(29:28):
Smith my way, there's always that chance, but it's so low.
Can I just say because he stinks because they're also
playing the Packers and the Bears and the Lions, who
everybody has love love affairs bad. A guy just doesn't
get good because somebody else. I gotta say, though, if
it does come to fruition, it's going to be a
(29:48):
delicious season. Here, look at Fox Sports Radio. Let's just
say this, right, think about it like this. Say you
and I both like the same girl? Said, we do?
We both like the same girl? Right, and I'm me?
You're you? Okay? You know she has to decide who
she likes more, me or you? Right? Does she like
the kid or just like the guy in the purple shorts?
But you never know. Hey, love is blind, it's you know,
(30:09):
whatever it is, right, So hey, it takes a power
you don't know to wear purple shorts. You don't know
I'm wearing today.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You don't know, you don't know. So let's just say,
something happens to me, you really like this girl, and
you find something you find for me. Whatever happened to you?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
You fight?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You tell me, Hey, guess what, Jason? You just want
an all expenses paid trip to Antarctica. Look, I'm gonna
drive you to the airport. Now you get me out
of town and I'm gone. Okay, and I'm gone. Now,
this doesn't mean she's gonna pick you. Just because I'm gone.
You don't get any more attractive because I'm gone. She
either likes you for you and wearing a Mark Lannigan
(30:48):
shirt like you're wearing today in purple shorts because you
are wearing purple for him. She either likes you for you,
but you all of a sudden don't become well, I
don't really like Harmon. Oh Jason's got Oh man, I'll
tell you Nor Western football team.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I can't wait to go to a game. Well, I
mean you're dumping that way. You did put it up
as a two man race for her affections, and with
you eliminated, here I go. It's the Mike Harmon Show.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, but okay, but okay, then you then you're then
you're a placeholder for Alex Tyshirt. Then you're just wearing
until I like comes back from vacation, because you know
ty Shirts. You know works two days, he's off for
three weeks. He works a day. He's off for a month.
Then you're just a placehold until Tysher comes back.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
But what the hell did he have to do with anything? Yeah?
What the heck? I'm just saying, can we stop this feud? Already?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
There was only two literally coming here every break behind
the glass, and you're checking me, And now you're checking
me on air.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Listen, you're stealing my wardrobe. I wear cutoff shirt sleeves,
and the next day you wear cutoffs.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
You wear the same shirt like every day, like I'm
your older brother and you're like, hey, Jeson, what do
you wear? He's I can wear the same thing tomorrow.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
First off? No, second off, dude, you literally wear the
same shirt every other day. Somehow you got an Equinox
shirt And like Mike, Dude, he literally comes in here
yesterday and he checks me.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
He's like, what's up, dude. I'm like, are you Chad now? Oh?
I say, what's up dude? I'm checking him? Yeah, I'm
checking him. Hey, what's up, dude, I'm checking him. He
just wanted to know how you were.
Speaker 1 (32:14):

Speaker 3 (32:17):
I don't know you got a mustache? Now you know

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Three three kids? No, not that I know of.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
He was showing me pictures.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Really, Yeah, that's what I mean, Mike, I'd show you
if I had kids.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I was hoping. So, I mean, Sam Darnold doesn't get
better just because JJ McCarthy got hurt. He's not say
to get Hey, what'd you say? What? What'd you say anything?
We don't say nothing.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You playing that?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
We have to dump that? Why because you just said

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
If you listen to the show, you know by now
we're just gonna wait and hear Nicholas Cage sing a
little purple rain. Then we can start talking about sports.
Question of the night and how about a Fresco itswalling?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Jason?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Who hurt you? Jason? For real? So just on the
other TV, on the other TV, you don't want have
to get into this the top of the up, well, yeap,
the top of the air. Look, you've heard the reports tonight,
(34:05):
Kevin Wyre telling us that our long national nightmare when
it comes to Brandon Ayuk and will he get traded?
Looks like it could be ending soon. I've had a
candle lit every day. I Look, I told you right
after the draft Ayuk is getting traded. He's pushing to
get out. He's making it combative, he wants out. The
Niners will trade him. Is there an outside chance where
they're saying, maybe we can get through this year and
(34:28):
be a really really great Super Bowl threat with Brandon
Ayuk and then next year he's gone. Yeah, but if
we have to, we know we're gonna trade. Hm. That's
why they drafted Ricky Piersoll, right, That's why they drafted
him so early. Now, hopefully he's hopey enough and he
can play well and that's something. Yeah, two and a
half weeks ago, we had the reports that hey, this
trade is done, just waiting for brand Ayuk's approval.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
He can go to either the Browns or the Patriots.
The forty nine Ers have deals in place with both
of these teams. Oh, that kind of went away pretty fast.
Then there were reports that there was some negotiation going on.
Maybe Ayuk was gonna stay, but no, no. Now today
NFL Networks Ian Rapaport reports that there is a deal
done with the forty nine Ers and the Steelers for
(35:08):
Brandon Ayuk, just waiting for everybody to sign off on it.
Which my first question is, how are all these deals
done and no one is signing off?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What's going on? They're all done, someone sign off somewhere,
we're going to agree in principle. But he's evidently got
the juice to be able to say I don't want
to go, And part of it is just being fair
to him. I'm like, what am I missing? He doesn't
have a no trade clause? Why can't you just well,
because you have a star that says I'm not going
(35:35):
to go, other I'm not going to report. No one
wants you to get into that fight. Look, stars always
get their way, but but it's just lingering out there. Right,
we had the reports with New England and with Cleveland,
and we talked about it, and it's like, well, it's
kind of the hail Mary and shooting the flare gun
up saying hey, someone coming back over the top, meaning hey,
Omar Khan and Pittsburgh, we'd really he really chooses you, right,
(35:59):
give it all, everything else being equal, He wants to
be a member of the Steelers, So come back with
a better offer. Curious as to what that offer is,
what it entails in terms of picks and players, because
obviously you'd like to get some sort of serviceable twenty
twenty four rosteruble player back in return. Right, you have
super Bowl ambitions, you're tied atop the leader board in
(36:22):
terms of Super Bowl odds. But in the end, you're
still looking at, if this is right, fifty one million
dollars of effective cab space, that you can really come
up to that contract if you were so inclined. Look,
this trade is going to happen. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
The team he was rumored to go to from the
beginning is out there. They have a need at wide
receiver to get another guy, another big pass catcher out there.
They understand their offense, might not be as great as
it could be, might need another wide receiver to help
justin field. Sorry, Russell Wilson at part. This is gonna happen, right,
this is what's been rumored for the longest time. This
(36:58):
has to happen. If this doesn't happen, then there's not
gonna be a trade because this is.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Where I understand.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Hey, I don't want to go to New England because
they stink and maybe Cleveland's not my place, but hey, Steelers, yeah, okay,
get me to pit Pittsburgh is where I'm gonna go.
And so that I get. If this doesn't happen, then
there's not gonna be a deal. So I will tell
you this, This jade is going to happen, right, it's
going to But if some kind of crazy stuff happens
like that and and it, then we're not gonna see it.
(37:26):
But I firmly I would put all my money, my
chips to the middle by in sometime the next forty
eight hours, Brandon I yukuz a Pittsburgh Steeler.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I think get come back to him and to say
you'd like to win, right too? You can get paid
and win here there you're the eighth favorite in the AFC. Yeah,
but you look, Cleveland's pretty good. I mean, you would
go to Cleve, you could win in Cleveland. Cleveland's a
pretty good team. They played eleven quarterbacks last year and
so what ten games. That's a pretty good year Cleveland.
I mean they played Flacco, who was sitting on his couch,
(37:55):
you know, for them for twelve weeks, then shows up.
Hey Flacco.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I mean, look, you can win a clip. But I
get if certain places aren't your fate. I understand.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Well, the Browns have the same Super Bowl odds as
the Bears. Yep, dude, the Bears. I'm telling forty. I
love your Bears. Bears love it exit. How about a
Fresca exit? Swolling down the Jason Smith Show with my

Oh who Michael Park Uh oh oh he's a lit
so Oh. I like that Eye in the Sky song.
(01:42):
You're talking about the Michael Parsons project. That's a great song.
I Am the Maker of Rules. I love that song.
Worked out to that one in the eighties. It's Jerry.
I like that Stenda song. Oh the Internet, I Can
Read your mind. Oh. I did that with a karaoke too. Yeah,
that was great back in the eight Katherine back and
I would do that at karaoke back in Nashville. That
(02:05):
was fun. Uh. That was when the Dukes of Hazzard
show was so popular and I used to dress like
like the Schneider Kid and uh, that was what it
did for Halloween. Oh good, ran into Catherine back. We
did Eye in the Sky and it was kind of fun,
and then we did did a little bit of the
theme song. Uh Waylon Jennings came in and uh, it
was it was, it was just a big party, and
(02:26):
uh what was the question? I just gonna do a
whole thing about Daisy Dukes and whatever. But then you
just kept going. You you had a James Carville. I
just read Will Ferrell kind of moment there.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I just read an interview with Catherine Box says she
still wears her Daisy Dukes, but you gotta follow.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Me to the beach. Well, let's go like she was.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
She was on some kind of show because they're doing
some kind of anniversary for the Dukes of Hazzard, and
she goes, oh, I still wear him.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You got to follow me to the beach though. It's like, wow,
she still wears the Daisy Dukes. Hey, you know what,
stay with uh stay with your thing, right. That made
her famous mhm and gave her a lot of big
time fans and creeps. Sure so, sure, so you stay
with it. Uh. And and in the end, if you're comfortable,
(03:11):
be comfortable. I don't I don't know what Catherine, Bob,
you know the now, but you know the show. Show
show runner called me and said, what do you think
that the dude what she should wear? We're thinking like
big long basketball shorts. And I said, no, go with
the short ones, to cut off ones like they're they're
gonna call them George it sometime soon, So make go
(03:32):
go with the George. I think that'll be a good look.
And they said, oh for for the guys too, No,
put the guys in jeans, and uh, make sure that
the door doesn't open when they get it out of
the car. They just kind of jump in and jump out.
That that's that, that's really cool. That's how I get
into my cars. I just get in, jump out, get in,
jump out. Now I have Steven help me. Uh, Stephen
kind of picks me up and throws me in the
car and then grabs me and pulls me out. Did
(03:53):
John Stockton's run at Gonzaga in those shorts begin before
they started filming? And was he the inspiration? I bet
Gonzaga to uh to win the championship? Keep falling short. Uh,
don't make any money nothing in the white soxe. Nothing's
more excited watching the Gonzaga Bulldogs because you know one thing,
They're gonna go really far in the tournament and not
(04:15):
win anything. That's it's gonna be a big deal. They'll
get as far as they can and not win it all. Jerry,
would you like to get that far in a tournament? Well,
that's why I talk about I miss CD, but I
don't really miss him. I miss him from the standpoint
of I miss I miss him, But do I miss him?
Uh No, because I wouldn't miss him at this particular juncture.
(04:36):
But I miss him, but I don't really miss him.
I don't miss him right now. You really went back
to the at this it would not be prudent, not
be prudent to talk about not not proved to go.
Catherine Box seventy years old, seventy Happy birthday, Catherin Buck
in March first. But yeah, well it was late. It's
we were belated. Happy belated birthday, Catherine. Bobby Cohen never
(04:57):
wished anybody a blated birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Celebrity sold d Birthday yesterday because Mary forgot them because
he was at the Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Thanks Mary. As our executive producer Bo Bets and did
want to point out as we had that Dodger conversation.
Somehow they still have the best record in baseball. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
No, the Yankees and the Dodgers all have all kinds
of problems and still twenty games over five hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We still roll no matter what kind of problems we have.
I'd love to have those problems. We got so many problems,
and Mookie bleeping bets came back. Uh. This is a
great story because this is one of those that makes
you think, did this really happen? This is a resport
for a report. This is a report. This is a spork.
A spork is apoon, a spoon and a four. This
(05:42):
is a report from SI's Hondo Carpenter. Oh, by way,
I love guys. If your name is Hondo, that's really cool.
Is your name really Hondo or is that what you've
a dondo?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Hondo said, No, if your name is Hondo, it means
you're really good at basketball.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
You drive a really cool like dune buggy everywhere Hondo, Hondo.
That's good, Honda, and you talk on a CBNDO. Now
we're going back to the Duke's Messa. Sports Illustrated's Hondo
carp I wish I would change my name to Honda.
It's never too late. Hondo.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Carpenter reported that when the twenty twenty three NFL draft
rolled around, so just just last year, yeah, four Raiders GM,
Dave Ziegler wanted to take c J. Stroud, and according
to this report, he wanted to trade up to get Stroud. However,
Josh McDaniels supposedly vetoed what could have been a chance
(06:31):
for Vegas to get c. J.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Stroud Stroud. Of course, I ended up getting drafted by
the Texans at number two, and he was phenomenal. And
the Raiders went through whatever they went through last year
with Jimmy Garoppolo giving him a three year deal for
seventy two million dollars, and now look where they are
and it's Gardner, Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. According to a
League source quote, Josh wanted his way and wouldn't budge.
I think you could sum it up that Dave wanted
(06:54):
to be a team, but Josh wanted it his way,
and I think the ambiguity of the relationship allowed Josh
to steamrolled him. Okay, now here's plenty of time to
go to Burger King now, and if your way with
the Raid or that workout for you. This is something
(07:16):
where you see this and it's easy to believe because
it's the Raiders. I mean, of course it's the sure
believe this, but really I'm not. I'm not standing up
for the Raiders. But I see this and I go, yeah,
I don't know. Like, first of all, the head coach
overrules the GM. Really, really the head coach over just
I understand it's the Raiders and the Division of labored,
but the head coach completely overrules the GM. Yeah, I
(07:39):
don't know about that. See, I think I would have
believed it during the Gruden whatever was going on. In
terms of a power strust.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I can't see Josh Daniel having that level of no, no,
we have our guy.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
We wait what Yeah, no, we don't want to do it.
Oh but we could go up and get that we
get the number ten no no scond year with the
squad right because he hired in in early twenty twenty two.
That I it doesn't pass the smell test. I think
it's just a convenient we get off the hook because
we can blame him and since at points his credibility
(08:13):
in terms of how he's dealt with media and other
internal things has been questioned that. You know, it's very
easy to have a fall guy. Now, look, could they
have had a could they have had a disagreement and
they talk about it and they decide Yeah, I could
see that.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But in the end he overruled, like like the GM
was about to make the phone call the paperwork.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
And he jumps in at the end and says, stop
the press, like Michael Keaton in the paper, stop the
not making this trade. We're not going up to number
two against C. J. Stroud. We're not doing it. Oh okay,
Like I find that hard to believe, even with even
though it's the Raider, even with the Raiders, it's the Raiders.
I I find that hard to believe. Again, I mean,
given what you know what though, it's again it's like
(08:57):
you go down this logic path it in you go,
I know, and you hit that speed bump again going
to the Mayock slash Gruden era in terms of whatever
the power structure and decision making process was there that
you'd think, all right, we got we cleared that Gruden
(09:19):
had to go away, and now we're into the next
phase and you got a new GM. And so here's
how it's gonna go. But it's it's Mark Davis, and
we know how that has worked in the past, even
owing back to his father before him, that I can't
categorically rule it out as bad as it smells terrible,
(09:42):
like the it smells of a this guy's gone. So
we can throw this out and feed media this because
while it absolves Ziggler, it absolves all the current front
office guys of wrongdoing, with C. J. Stroud dominating bad Cheese. Man,
this smells like bad Joe, like I read it earlier today, geez,
(10:04):
and there's the pause, but like you like whenever someone says,
well it's the Jets, Yeah, yeah, okay, But here's but
if if that was just it, I would say, okay, Raiders.
But here's the other part is that the way this
story has been presented, and I was just reading you
from from from the recap, it was and instead the
Raiders signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a three year, seventy two
(10:25):
million dollar deal, and look how that turned out, right,
Garoppolo does hurt Now he's done. I mean, now, McDaniels
had a bunch of numbers. But no, but understand, understand,
this isn't this makes it seem like the story was, oh,
you had a choice and no on CJ.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Stroud, Let's go get Jimmy Garoppolo. They signed Jimmy Garoppolo
in March. He signed on Saint Patrick's Day for three
years and seventy million dollars. The NFL Draft is a
month and a half later, or almost a month and
a half later, So this wasn't a case of oh,
we had the choice, and we know they had already
Signedjimmy Garoppolo and gave him a lot of money. So
(11:02):
now when this comes up, we could move up to
get c J. Stroud at number two.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Was this really Josh McDaniel saying no, no, or was this, well, boy,
we could go up to get him. But we just
signed a guy for three years and stead before Atlanta,
and now we're gonna get c J. Stroud. I don't know.
It's easy to talk yourself out now. Look, I would
have never gone and give Jimmy Garoppolo that money because
that was dumb. Because Jimmy Garoppolo's done nothing but get hurt.
(11:28):
So that now he's in LA and he's suspended to
start the year, That's where Raider is going to Raider.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Hey, we decided to go get Jimmy Garoppolo. A right,
that's stuff, that's a Raider's thing.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
But if you go out and spend the money on
that quarterback and then you have the chance, well, are
we gonna draft c J. Stroud? We just gave this
guy a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We're projecting at that point, Jimmy Garoppolo is going to
be our quarterback for three years. Meanwhile, you and I
and everybody else outside of Vegas knows Garoppolo is just
gonna get hurt.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You're looking for a new guy in in three months.
But they thought this is our plan. Garoppolo is our
quarterback for the next three years. And and and really,
is it worth it to trade up to get CJ. Stroud,
not to draft CJ. Stroud if he comes up at
you know, seventeen or twelve wherever we're drafting, but to
use whatever we need to to trade all the way
up to number two. Is that worth it? Yeah? I
(12:14):
don't know. So I can see the Raiders talking themselves
out of that. So when I see this story, I
find it hard to believe that this is just Josh
McDaniel's running into a room and slamming his stuff down, going,
you're gonna make this trade. You didn't tell me we're
having this meeting. Is this the meeting where you're trading
up to number two for c J. Stroud? No, I
told you, let's go out and get Jimmy Garoppolo. It's
not how it went. They signed Garoppolo, they had a
chance maybe to go get CJ. Stroud, and the head
(12:37):
coach then overruled the general manager. I'm sorry, I'm not
saying it. Yeah, because I forget the timeline because he
failed the physical right, like he had a problem with
his foot. So they reworked the deal and so the
dead cap wasn't horribly prohibitive to what they needed to
do with the rest of the roster, and they end
(12:57):
up letting him go after the one season. But the
question of you know that timeline and what you know
and what's been confirmed kind of like we're dealing with
some of these injuries. Now, well McCarthy's gonna have to
have surgery. Well, what's gonna what's the end result? Jamiir Gibbs.
Is it just a hamstring? Is it something more severe? Uh,
even even if it is just a hamstring, is it
(13:18):
something that's gonna preclude him from opening the season uh
with the Lions and going on down. Here's another example
of all, right, what we think we know versus what
we do. Uh, and when we get to that draft room,
is that still on the board because we saw in Atlanta? Right.
We've been talking about it a lot with Captain Kirk
and Michael Pennix Junior and Kirk being well, maybe I
should have taken the one year with the Vikings if
(13:40):
I knew this, and and pontificating and all that. But
for the Raiders, and this just looks like a nice
piece of hindsight to get some of the blame off
of them. It's like, well, he's already gone, so let's uh,
let's just put it there.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swolling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen from the
Tyreck dot Com studios. Uh So we got more NFL

will get to a big story out of the NFL.
But whenever a team becomes the first team to be
eliminated in Major League Baseball, we need to spend time
on this. Now, still mathematically alive for the playoffs, however,
(16:09):
no longer eligible to win their division.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Way back and Colm goodbye.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Struggling base is loaded two down, Cousins looking to lock
it down O two.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Pat swing What a round strike three got him?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That's the ball game, Yankees winning for to one.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yankees ready to network on the call. That win by
the Yankees tonight. Juan Soto's three home runs Yeah in
a four to one winning it's three home runs. H
The White Sox have been eliminated from They're still alive
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
They can still back their way.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
In according to me, either not, but they have been
eliminated from the AL Central.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, they now have an X next in their name.
They cannot win the American League Central. Today's date is
May seventeenth. Just they s in rewind, might as well
have called it then. Take that for data. I think
we really could have called it then. Now like an
(17:19):
electoral map, and I'm sitting there reading the precincts. It's like,
I don't need any more data points, like, but it's
really early. The polls just going no, it's done. No, No,
it's over. It really is, it's over, Johnny, No, it's
still exactly And and here's the thing is, so you
get eliminated from the AL Central, which you know, again
matter of time. I wonder where people had on the
(17:40):
elimination factor. So it should be.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
They're forty two and a half games out of first
place today, so you know now with forty two they
can't do it. Now when you look at the wild
card standings, the White Sox are thirty six and a
half games out.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So by this time next week, oh ayeah, they could
be eliminating to Ben All from everything. Wayoff contention, the
run differential for the White Sox this year is minus
two forty four. That's a full fifty four runs more.
That's like the temperature it was in the thing with
Kurt Russell. It's minus two hundred and forty four degrees
(18:20):
here on the North Pole, Fantastice. We are the way
folks should go back and watch. It was that nineteen
eighty The no thing was eighty eighty one or eighty two.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
The next worst team run differential are the Rockies, and
they're not even at minus two hundred, but the White
Socks at minus two forty four.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
There's no other team in the American League that's at
minus one hundred. The Angels are close, but not quite,
still on pace to have the worst record in the history.
Let's go Major League Baseball. You're gonna fail fail spectacularly. Well,
they are, and we are absolutely doing it. We had
that big run yesterday called to the elimination of the
(19:00):
Yankees and them being dissolved or relegated one or the other. Instead,
Wan Soda comes back with the heroism of three home runs,
and now they're on the cusp of he and Judge
becoming the first Yankee teammates to both hit forty home
runs in a season in a long, long time.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, you are the Haley's comet, everybody's hey, we're gonna
watch this. We don't see this that often a team,
this band in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Look at them. Go Okay, that goes Haley's comment. Well,
but if anything, it should shut people up of the
old big market, small market whatever, because you could be
in a huge market and really play like you have
no money and no prospects. White Sox space uh so
again got me to the to the Bears though, Oh yeah,
(19:45):
you're gonna have a much better season with shots so
much preseason for the Northwestern Wildcats and Caleb Williams way
much better. But let's go trust me. Like we talked
a lot, the era of good feeling for the Bears
is here. But see it's tough. It's like I want
the bandwagon fans, but I want to one of those
teams that people care about like that. But I want
the people in our industry to back the hell off.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, all right, but I love the Bears era of
good fit. You're a super Bowl contender for the next time.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Is trying to hurt me? Because if it goes bad,
you're just gonna go HAA Bears can't get out of
their own ways. Bears be bears, and I see it already,
trust me, Caleb Williams, is that good? Now?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
A big injury today in the NFL that we're still
figuring out how big of an injury it is. JJ McCarthy,
who was drafted in the first round by the Minnesota
Vikings to be their quarterback of the not too distant future,
has a bad knee injury and maybe out a few weeks,
could be out as much as the rest of this season,
(20:45):
which would be a nine month recovery ligament damage to
his knee. He reported feeling sore on Monday. Look, you
had a really good debut for the Vikings this past week. Yeah,
didn't you know?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Look, you know me, I'm not real high on JJ
McCarthy being a great quarterback, but he had a good game.
Didn't look like the game was too much for him.
And then all of a sudden comes in on Monday
and guess what, my knee hurts. And now they're not
gonna know how long McCarthy is out until they actually
go in and do the surgery later on this week,
(21:18):
so it could be a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It was a few weeks. When's he gonna take over
a starting quarterback. Maybe middle of the season, maybe end
of the season, depends on his recovery. If it's longer
than that, it's does he go into next year as
the starter? Do they still bring Sam Darnold back? So
there's a lot of different things it could be. There's
two big takeaways from this. The first one is that
and this is time. This is just a medical thing.
I'm not a doctor, but I always like to question
(21:43):
the medical profession because why not, because it's fun. We
do it in football. It probably just drives doctors crazy
when people do stuff like this.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
But we don't have the technology now to know how
bad of a ligament injury someone has until we cut
into him. Like they don't know until they're actually doing
the surgery.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I see on TV all the time. We got all
kinds of technology. Look inside people's body. Look you see
it right here. You see this is where the alien
is growing, right next to the pancrea. It's all here's
right here.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I see.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
House was a show was off the air for ten years,
and they had incredible diagnostics. They had diagnostics that they
would put people in like an MRI tube and ask
them questions and they could tell if they were lying
or not. It's like a light attuck there. She would
watch where their brain would go. We don't have that.
We don't have that now. You can't just put JJ
McCarthy in some kind of I don't know, some kind
of sphigma monometer or some kind of I'm just trying
at the walk. I'm just going with all kinds of
(22:31):
house terms. H. You can't put him in some kind
of machine and say, oh, yeah, this is the ligament
that really can't wait till we cut into him. Really,
we don't have that now. I think we got to
go in and see, you know, the extent of the repair,
and then you never know how quickly the guy's get
to recover, because what's the better way to do it
could be nine months of recovery. If he's back in
three you're a genius. If you say, ah, it's four
(22:53):
to six weeks and it takes nine months for him
to come back, you suck and he's soft, right, I
mean that's the way our media works, right, isn't that
where we're going? And we just did a whole weekend
of this. Hey, the US teams barely won, but they
but they won. They won't go it doesn't matter. They
didn't cover the spread, they weren't convincing enough, this wasn't
(23:15):
a big enough shot. Whatever else you want to argue
about with here, you know you err on the side
of caution and just say, you know what, we're really
not going to go in there, because if you give
wrong information or what can be perceived and parsed out
word by word as something deceptive or erroneous. One if
it's erroneous, now we're coming for your license. No. Yeah.
(23:38):
But the other part is just from a if you
open it up to hey, he should be back on
the field soon. It's like, all right, JJ had that
great opener. You saw Jefferson run around like a man.
Let's go, let's go all of that stuff. He'll be
back by the second quarter of the season. We'll be
ready to go. And if he's not bad thing, man,
(24:00):
bad things.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
The other part of the story is this is that
this is why I love Twitter, because there's times where
I love Twitter. There's times where I can't stand Twitter.
There's times when Twitter is a lot of fun. There's
times when Twitter is the worst place in the world.
But today was fun because JJ McCarthy. The report of
this gets out, and all of a sudden, everywhere you look,
people are posting videos nine second videos of Sam Darnold
(24:25):
completing a pass and look at the dig rowdy throws here.
Nobody can make a throw like this. And then it's
a lot of fantasy insiders and experts saying, oh, with
news are this injury? Sam Darnold becomes a top fifteen
fantasy quarterback in the NFL. And I love this because
I go, you're all morons, all You're all morons.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Sam, we do that fantasy your PODCA you're all more
with Smith and Hard. I just thinking of that one
scene for the Office when Idris Elbow was the boss
and U, Jim and Dwight are doing doing some kind
of routine in front of him and he and they finished,
and he just goes, you two up, both morons, and
Jim goes okay and he walks away. Is that they're morons?
(25:11):
Sam Darnald was signed to be a placeholder for JJ McCarthy. Okay,
he was signed to be a placeholder JJ McCarthy as
soon as he showed he was able to take the job,
We'll take the job now.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Likely before the injury that would have been sometime in
the early ish part of the season. You don't want
to throw him in right away. Get him used to
the NFL first, there's no need to. That's why you
signed Darnald to be that bridge quarterback. So McCarthy's taking
over the job. Oh but now that McCarthy's hurt, Darnald
becomes a top fifteen fantasy quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
And look how good he is? No, no, no, stop.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
He didn't suddenly get better because JJ McCarthy got hurt.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Well he does, no, but he does. No, he doesn't. Yeah,
he does because he's not gonna be potentially not gonna
be there.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Right, but here's the thing. If Sam Darnald was gonna
be good, he'd be a top fifteen fantasy court regards
who was sending behind him, he'd be a top fifteen
fantasy quarterback. Right.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
No, he's look at the throws he's making. Sam Darnald's
gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
But all of a sudden, it's like you see people
on the ear going, oh, now, Sam book, how good
Sam's gonna be? Oh, this is gonna be said.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, he doesn't suddenly get better because a guy got hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
No, it's but the logic I'm using on this is
the it would have taken guts to say that Sam
Donald was going to be a top fifteen quarterback. Now it's, well,
we have to have some reaction to McCarthy's injury. What
can it be this weapons let's go more on. Don't
be a moron, but I'm not doing it. Look, you're
(26:39):
not doing it. If it's a case of where a
number one receiver gets hurt and then it's okay, there's
one hundred and thirty targets out there now and everybody
elevates because someone's got to become the number one. And
then you go ask Matt Laflourd. He gets pissed. It's
really mad. We'll have more on that.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
But but it doesn't suddenly for a quarterback, your stock
just doesn't rise because the guy pushed you is hurt.
It doesn't mean you're suddenly gonna be great. Like he
wasn't a top How is he not a top fifteen
fantasy quarterback?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
But now he is? Wait a minute, he was good
because if you thought he was gonna be good, he
keep the job right. If you thought he was a
great quarterback, look at this dig roud, he throws. Nobody
could throw a route like this. If you thought he
was that good, and the Vikings thought he was that,
they wouldn't have drafted JJ McCarthy. Bottom line, he was
always a placeholder. But now he's gonna unfortunately play more
(27:28):
because JJ McCarthy is hurt. But this doesn't suddenly elevate him.
And now all look they're gonna make a run now
in the NFC North. How they're gonna click on this
article and it's gonna go viral. I mean, I I
see that, and I go one has no bearing on
the other.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But you've been in this business, and that's why I
can say you think that you're a moron. That's why
I get that because strip.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It all aways. People will click on that. Strip you
take this, you're a moron. Jason and Mike Debatan of
the day, Strip it all away, strip it all away?
Right with all that, there's only one thing wrong with
Sam Donald. There's there's only even with Donald there and
all of those weapons, name all that, there's only one
thing Hockinson, Madison to Jefferson, all the way to Madison.
(28:17):
Sure everybody, Madison and Jefferson are merciless there's only one
thing wrong with Sam Donalds. But you were saying all
the names like Washington, I actually had the cakes going.
You would do guns and ships. Yeah, so again, boil
it down for me, what is the one reason that
(28:38):
he can't be top fifteen?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I read elect to friends, they send a ship. There's
there's only one thing wrong with Sam donald We.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Want to get hercules Mully. I just like the way
he keps jumping into the sets of corsets. There's only
one thing wrong with Sam donald one thing. What's the
one thing? It's only what they wrong. He stinks. I've
watched him sting. Now he's been in the league for
seven years. I watched him stink with the Jets. I
(29:06):
watch them stink with the Panthers. Suddenly, now this is
gonna be it for him. I've watched them good. I
watched him stink everywhere, and maybe he got rehabilitated as
member of the forty nine. For Sam Darnold still doesn't
know what he sees downfield. He's still misses open wide receivers.
He's not Is there a chance that he's you know, hey,
I'm gonna have a geno smith here. I'm my Gino
(29:28):
Smith my way, there's always that chance, but it's so low.
Can I just say because he stinks because they're also
playing the Packers and the Bears and the Lions, who
everybody has love love affairs bad. A guy just doesn't
get good because somebody else. I gotta say, though, if
it does come to fruition, it's going to be a
(29:48):
delicious season. Here, look at Fox Sports Radio. Let's just
say this, right, think about it like this. Say you
and I both like the same girl? Said, we do?
We both like the same girl? Right, and I'm me?
You're you? Okay? You know she has to decide who
she likes more, me or you? Right? Does she like
the kid or just like the guy in the purple shorts?
But you never know. Hey, love is blind, it's you know,
(30:09):
whatever it is, right, So hey, it takes a power
you don't know to wear purple shorts. You don't know
I'm wearing today.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You don't know, you don't know. So let's just say,
something happens to me, you really like this girl, and
you find something you find for me. Whatever happened to you?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
You fight?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You tell me, Hey, guess what, Jason? You just want
an all expenses paid trip to Antarctica. Look, I'm gonna
drive you to the airport. Now you get me out
of town and I'm gone. Okay, and I'm gone. Now,
this doesn't mean she's gonna pick you. Just because I'm gone.
You don't get any more attractive because I'm gone. She
either likes you for you and wearing a Mark Lannigan
(30:48):
shirt like you're wearing today in purple shorts because you
are wearing purple for him. She either likes you for you,
but you all of a sudden don't become well, I
don't really like Harmon. Oh Jason's got Oh man, I'll
tell you Nor Western football team.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I can't wait to go to a game. Well, I
mean you're dumping that way. You did put it up
as a two man race for her affections, and with
you eliminated, here I go. It's the Mike Harmon Show.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, but okay, but okay, then you then you're then
you're a placeholder for Alex Tyshirt. Then you're just wearing
until I like comes back from vacation, because you know
ty Shirts. You know works two days, he's off for
three weeks. He works a day. He's off for a month.
Then you're just a placehold until Tysher comes back.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
But what the hell did he have to do with anything? Yeah?
What the heck? I'm just saying, can we stop this feud? Already?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
There was only two literally coming here every break behind
the glass, and you're checking me, And now you're checking
me on air.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Listen, you're stealing my wardrobe. I wear cutoff shirt sleeves,
and the next day you wear cutoffs.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
You wear the same shirt like every day, like I'm
your older brother and you're like, hey, Jeson, what do
you wear? He's I can wear the same thing tomorrow.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
First off? No, second off, dude, you literally wear the
same shirt every other day. Somehow you got an Equinox
shirt And like Mike, Dude, he literally comes in here
yesterday and he checks me.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
He's like, what's up, dude. I'm like, are you Chad now? Oh?
I say, what's up dude? I'm checking him? Yeah, I'm
checking him. Hey, what's up, dude, I'm checking him. He
just wanted to know how you were.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
First of all, I didn't recognize you because you know,
you haven't worked in like the last like three weeks.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I don't know you got a mustache? Now you know
you got.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Three three kids? No, not that I know of.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
He was showing me pictures.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Really, Yeah, that's what I mean, Mike, I'd show you
if I had kids.
Speaker 3 (32:29):

better just because JJ McCarthy got hurt. He's not say
to get Hey, what'd you say? What? What'd you say anything?
We don't say nothing.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You playing that?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
We have to dump that? Why because you just said
something saying that in my ear? Was that in my ear? No?
Oh you really said it? Wow? I'm the chad now, wow,

Question of the night and how about a Fresco itswalling?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Jason?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Who hurt you? Jason? For real? So just on the
other TV, on the other TV, you don't want have
to get into this the top of the up, well, yeap,
the top of the air. Look, you've heard the reports tonight,
(34:05):
Kevin Wyre telling us that our long national nightmare when
it comes to Brandon Ayuk and will he get traded?
Looks like it could be ending soon. I've had a
candle lit every day. I Look, I told you right
after the draft Ayuk is getting traded. He's pushing to
get out. He's making it combative, he wants out. The
Niners will trade him. Is there an outside chance where
they're saying, maybe we can get through this year and
(34:28):
be a really really great Super Bowl threat with Brandon
Ayuk and then next year he's gone. Yeah, but if
we have to, we know we're gonna trade. Hm. That's
why they drafted Ricky Piersoll, right, That's why they drafted
him so early. Now, hopefully he's hopey enough and he
can play well and that's something. Yeah, two and a
half weeks ago, we had the reports that hey, this
trade is done, just waiting for brand Ayuk's approval.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
He can go to either the Browns or the Patriots.
The forty nine Ers have deals in place with both
of these teams. Oh, that kind of went away pretty fast.
Then there were reports that there was some negotiation going on.
Maybe Ayuk was gonna stay, but no, no. Now today
NFL Networks Ian Rapaport reports that there is a deal
done with the forty nine Ers and the Steelers for
(35:08):
Brandon Ayuk, just waiting for everybody to sign off on it.
Which my first question is, how are all these deals
done and no one is signing off?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What's going on? They're all done, someone sign off somewhere,
we're going to agree in principle. But he's evidently got
the juice to be able to say I don't want
to go, And part of it is just being fair
to him. I'm like, what am I missing? He doesn't
have a no trade clause? Why can't you just well,
because you have a star that says I'm not going
(35:35):
to go, other I'm not going to report. No one
wants you to get into that fight. Look, stars always
get their way, but but it's just lingering out there. Right,
we had the reports with New England and with Cleveland,
and we talked about it, and it's like, well, it's
kind of the hail Mary and shooting the flare gun
up saying hey, someone coming back over the top, meaning hey,
Omar Khan and Pittsburgh, we'd really he really chooses you, right,
(35:59):
give it all, everything else being equal, He wants to
be a member of the Steelers, So come back with
a better offer. Curious as to what that offer is,
what it entails in terms of picks and players, because
obviously you'd like to get some sort of serviceable twenty
twenty four rosteruble player back in return. Right, you have
super Bowl ambitions, you're tied atop the leader board in
(36:22):
terms of Super Bowl odds. But in the end, you're
still looking at, if this is right, fifty one million
dollars of effective cab space, that you can really come
up to that contract if you were so inclined. Look,
this trade is going to happen. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
The team he was rumored to go to from the
beginning is out there. They have a need at wide
receiver to get another guy, another big pass catcher out there.
They understand their offense, might not be as great as
it could be, might need another wide receiver to help
justin field. Sorry, Russell Wilson at part. This is gonna happen, right,
this is what's been rumored for the longest time. This
(36:58):
has to happen. If this doesn't happen, then there's not
gonna be a trade because this is.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Where I understand.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Hey, I don't want to go to New England because
they stink and maybe Cleveland's not my place, but hey, Steelers, yeah, okay,
get me to pit Pittsburgh is where I'm gonna go.
And so that I get. If this doesn't happen, then
there's not gonna be a deal. So I will tell
you this, This jade is going to happen, right, it's
going to But if some kind of crazy stuff happens
like that and and it, then we're not gonna see it.
(37:26):
But I firmly I would put all my money, my
chips to the middle by in sometime the next forty
eight hours, Brandon I yukuz a Pittsburgh Steeler.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I think get come back to him and to say
you'd like to win, right too? You can get paid
and win here there you're the eighth favorite in the AFC. Yeah,
but you look, Cleveland's pretty good. I mean, you would
go to Cleve, you could win in Cleveland. Cleveland's a
pretty good team. They played eleven quarterbacks last year and
so what ten games. That's a pretty good year Cleveland.
I mean they played Flacco, who was sitting on his couch,
(37:55):
you know, for them for twelve weeks, then shows up.
Hey Flacco.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I mean, look, you can win a clip. But I
get if certain places aren't your fate. I understand.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Well, the Browns have the same Super Bowl odds as
the Bears. Yep, dude, the Bears. I'm telling forty. I
love your Bears. Bears love it exit. How about a
Fresca exit? Swolling down the Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carmon. Coming up next, a hot take
about one NFC quarterback and it's got to do with vomit.
