You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Greetings, Welcome inside our three The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon, live live from the Tyrack
dot Com studios tirec dot Com.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I hope you get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tirack dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
Uh So, just just really quick before we get to
a big story.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Jjmccarthy, So, you know, the Brandon Aiyuk situation is going on.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We talked to about it and potentially could get traded.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
There's a deal on the table with the Steelers and
we're waiting to see if Ayuk wants to take the deal,
if he's going to stay a forty nine er. He
was at practice today, so was he really going to
get traded. There is if there's a dynasty league. I'm
doing a drafting right now, and it has been paused
because now you get you get it's twenty four hours
per pick, right, that's how you.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Get twenty four hours per pick. And the next person
up in like an auto pick situation, right.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The next the next player up on anybody. The best
player available is Roman Wilson, right, who, of course is
going to be allegedly, hey, the big slot receiver for
the Steelers this year. Right, kind of the same skill
set as lad Miconchiel, though he's a different guy like
Roman Wilson is a terrific wide out right different skill
set but but still some woman can do. But obviously,
(01:45):
if the Steelers trade for Brandon Ayuk, his fantasy prospects
go down the toilet. Right, There's only so many footballs
to go around between him and George Pickens. So we've
been on a twenty four hour like waiting until the
last possible minute before the next makes their selection. Because
I know with Wilson sitting right being the next guy
you would take. You know, there's other people you would take,
(02:06):
but he's certainly there. His ADP is way ahead of
a lot of other people, Like I know, he's just
waiting to go. Okay, if this deal goes down, I'm
not gonna tap. But but if it doesn't, he's gonna stay.
I'll take Roman Wilson.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So I feel like he's holding the draft hostage just
to wait out as much as he can to get
to the point where okay, I'm not gonna you know, Okay,
now I have to make a move, and I gotta
pick a guy. I don't have to pick a guy.
I gotta be real honest. At this point, I would
felix Unger the league and walk because you're violating the spirit,
like unless you can prove some level of emergency at
(02:39):
your job or your home life, your car broke down
in the middle of the desert and you have no
cell reception, no bars, no way to charge said phone,
and you're out of pocket completely. This is nonsense. It's
a damn fantasy league, you clown. I mean, technic, I'm
(03:00):
all about trying to win and whatever, but but the
twenty four hour clock is there, you know, to help
protect against emergencies and extenuated circumstances Like this is just
ridiculous because you know exactly the game has been shift
that's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
No, look and and and look, and here's the thing
is that I get that no one he that the
person that no one is is been is breaking the rules,
like no one's going.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
All the way. No, No it's not. It's a different
it's a differently. No, it's a different league. And I'm
sitting here going I just know.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But he's got to make a decision by tomorrow, like
like tomorrow morning at I think at seven a m.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
My time, so ten am Eastern. So like okay, so
all the way till then, either either.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You make a pick by then or you pass and
it goes you get passed and yeah, yeah you miss
your you miss your pick at that point.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So he's gonna have to make by notes. I'm just
waiting it out as long as I can. Oh, they
trade Brandon Ayuk, I'm not gonna take it, but if
they do, I'm gonna. I just know that's happening. It's
just insane. This is how well can you verify when
the last time they logged into the league was oh,
I don't have I don't have that because there because
there is a my fantasy league. Yeah, you're on that
(04:22):
because I've done slow drafts on that site to where
it shows the last time you logged in. Oh, so
you'd be able to see he he's logged in eight
hours ago or five hours ago or six days or whatever,
because we did a slow draft earlier, earlier this summer,
and I actually have a yuk and Jamar Chase. I
(04:44):
went all in on the guys everybody was avoiding. Oh
my good. There's still really good receivers no matter whether
they play or there. I'm taking them all. Yeah, I'll
take I'll take all the risk and then I'll get
all the reward because you were all scared. But it
was on a twenty four hour clock, so you legitimately
have someone who just didn't expect, you know, twenty three
(05:05):
picks to run fast, and all of a sudden they
were back on the board. So potentially they were logged
off for twenty four hours, but you'd be able to
see that on the activity underneath the league owners. So
wondering if your site there has that, you know, ability
for you to go and spy and see if well,
if they've been logged down this whole time, it just
(05:25):
playing the waiting game.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
See well, first of all, the waiting game sucks, so
I play hungry, hungry hippos.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Secondly, I played if.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I don't know if I was a bad guy in
a in a if I was a bad guy in
a cyber thriller, like maybe I could faink.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hey tell me when that guy logged it, You've got
it for you right now, eight o six this morning
he logged in.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I got it right here. I traced his IP. Wait,
it's bounced it all over the place. It's bounced all
over the world. I can't find him.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I don't know where he at guys allegedly in Sri Lanka.
What the hell? I can't find it. It's in a
basement in Brooklyn. But you know, no, I can't it's encrypted.
It's encrypted. I can't find that it's encrypted. How much
of that was just just a crutch the TV shows
used to fall on. Can you find it where it's
coming from? Oh? No, it's encrypted. Why am I paying
(06:10):
you for? What the hell am I paying you for?
You server? And yeah, oh yeah, yeah, And then the
government address and the government can't find it. The highest
level of the government. No, it's ENCRYPTI no, why did
you bring the government into it. So now they're gonna
look at you, and they're gonna look at me. And
all of a sudden we're in provact and they're already looking
at tyshirt. So why do you have to double down
(06:31):
on their efforts? It's encrypted. It's like it's like the guys,
it's like the guys in the government are saying, well,
let me see he went to Florida. Maybe his pass
word is gators. Let me try gators. No, well, a
couple more, I'm gonna get locked up. Let me try
you bo let me try one, two, three, four five. Oh,
that's not it either. It says I've got to wait
another twenty four hours to try to reset again. How
(06:53):
do we get how do we get past this plotline
in the movie? Oh, just say it's encrypted.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, but but I mean the government should be able
to get No, No, they can't, they can't do it.
Just say it's encrypted.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And then you just say he's the best hacker in
the game, which means you know, you've got to find
someone to match wits and that buys him extra time.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
But it always takes the best hacker in the game
forever to break through.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Well, but then you got a fire. But that's hideous.
But you always have to find them, you know, with
an illegality on a technicality, so like you know, tax
evasion or something, and then they have to come work
for you to take down the Hey man, that's how
they got all the biggest criminals in the know. That's
how they got capone. Here's how they pay off their debt.
(07:36):
Right here, you catch me if you can, Let's call
it Leo get cracking.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Exit out by to Fresca exit swollen do on the
Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon Live the tirerech dot Com
Studios and now.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Look the biggest NFL story of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Today we find out we get the confirmation that JJ
McCarthy done for the season. Vikings quarterback who got hurt
in his NFL debut this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It was really.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Unknown when he did suffer a knee injury because he
looked really good, he played well. He showed up to
Vikings facility on Monday and it was hey, mine doesn't
feel so good. Underwent surgery today and as a result
of the surgery, he is out the rest of this season.
Last night, the report was could be a few weeks,
could be the whole season, depends on how the surgery goes.
(08:20):
We know the surgery went as it didn't go poorly,
but it went poorly for his chances to return this year.
So now he's out for the next year. So now
let's look at this from a different angle right now.
So now Sam Donald is the quarterback of the Vikings.
I told you last night Sam Donald stinks.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Ty fifteen Fantasy Network.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I know, crazy and and and people who were
morons I saw suddenly saying Sam Donald is great. No,
Sam Donald just doesn't suddenly get good because JJ McCarthy
is out. Because Sam Donald's gonna Oh now I have
him as a great fantasy quarterback, or now I think
he's gonna be great. Why what shows you he's gonna
be great, Because if he was gonna be great, you'd
had him in your top fifteen already. Because he's if
(08:58):
he's great, he's not given and the job of JJ McCarthy.
But obviously JJ McCarthy was gonna take the job as
soon as he was ready. He would probably sit a
few weeks, maybe four or five weeks, and then he
would take over. So you can't sit here and tell me. Oh, now,
Sam Donald is this He's just a guy. He's a
guy that if you if you need a quarterback and
in the late rounds of draft you have it, you
need a second, a backup, or a third string, He's
(09:20):
a guy you take right. Sam Donald is not the guy.
He doesn't suddenly get good because the guy behind him
got hurt.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Well, he doesn't have to look over his shoulders, thought
of it all now, and.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And I'll and I'll tell you this. Here's and here's
the other part of this conversation. Here's a New Angles conversation.
If you're the Vikings, then let's just be honest. You're
the Vikings, and you're you know, you're, you're you're even
you're thinking about I put you in charge of the Vikings.
Are you really that convinced that you don't need to
go out and get somebody else, that you don't need
to try to go make a move on someone that
(09:53):
might be available. So you're not punting on this year
because if you stick with Sam Donald, you are telling
your fan base and the team that, well, this season's
just gonna suck because everybody knows, the fans know, the
team knows. Hey, you're starting until JJ McCarthy is ready.
That's that's how it goes. That's why it went the
way it is. And if you don't go get somebody,
you're telling the team, hey, this season's just gonna suck
(10:16):
right now. You can only go out and get the
best of what's available. But can you really say, no,
we're not gonna go get somebody else. We're not where
Jaron Hall is gonna be our guy. If something happens
to the same, can you really sit back and say no,
of course not, of course not.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No sane person would think, yeah, we're good, We're just
we're dancing with who brung us. No, you have to
go out and get somebody, right. And there were some
crazy reports on the internet earlier today that, oh, maybe
they called the Saints about Derek Carr. You know what,
certain teams, why not give a call to like Spencer
Ratler has played okay, he's looked all right, you're the Saints.
Maybe you want to get out from under that Derek
(10:50):
Carr contract. You can get a couple of draft picks, hey,
something like that. But Joe Raiders should be calling for
Derek Carr. You need to get he's always says he's
a Raider, right, he always says, but you know you
have to start making a call. You have to call,
you have to call the Raiders and say, hey, is
Gardner Minshew really gonna win your job? Is he really
gonna win? Because if he is, okay, but if he's not,
(11:12):
we would like to offer you something for him, because
you're gonna need a couple of guys to get through
this season, right, you know, your dreams of winning the
division were never there anyway, But you can't punt on
the year and you can't go win by saying Sam
Donald is our guy. Even fantasy experts who were saying,
oh yeah, he's a top tip to you. Really think
if I put you in charge of a team, you
would say, oh yeah, absolutely, this this is fine? He did,
(11:34):
Sam Donald being the only real quarterback option is great? No,
of course not. You know, you have to go get
somebody else and hopefully the phone calls are started. And
I don't I don't know what the level of truth
to some of this stuff with the Derek carrs. I mean,
I haven't really seen it anywhere else would sign like
maybe it was something that was thrown out there, But
you need to call. You need to call the Saints,
You gotta call, gotta call some other teams. Hey, who
(11:55):
do you got? What do you like here? What if
we made a move for this guy? Hey, is this
guy really there for you? There are teams with a
couple of quarterbacks and a guy's not gonna win where
they would eminently be available. And maybe Derek carr is,
maybe Gardner minshew is, But there's five or six guys
around the league where you could say, okay, maybe for
the right price, we can shake this guy loose and
(12:15):
they'll be okay with their younger guy coming up and
being their backup, or or somebody else being their backup.
Because we hit it big with Josh Dobbs last year.
We signed a guy who he was just a guy right,
all of a sudden, Josh Dobbs comes in and for
a month he looked like one of the best quarterbacks
in the game.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
So you could come in and do that.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You can have guys come in at the last minute
and show you, hey, we can really get it done.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
But you look at where their situation is.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
There's no way they can go in and say, yeah,
we're okay with Darnold and whatever else happens, happens.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You have to go get somebody else. I've seen Bailey
Zappi's name floated out there. Ryan Tannehill still doesn't have
a job. Sure, sure, I mean, yes, why not? You
know what? You know what I mean like in terms
of a guy waiting for a chance, could he come
in and could O'Connell fix him and bring him along?
If Sam Darnold Falters, I know he didn't play terribly
(13:06):
well the last couple of years, but yeah, he had
some moments along the way. So he's still without a job.
I mean, just go around the NFL. You know, the
Bears are on hard knocks, so all of a sudden,
everybody's like, yeah, you know there's gonna be an odd
man out who knows, maybe he's ripping. Could be that guy.
He saw what he did with Colin Johnson. That was great,
But just yeah, you've got to go find another body
(13:27):
or two. I was gonna joke about Joe Flacco, but
I fear that the Colts will actually need him at
some point, so you know they're not gonna go and
divest out of that position and the.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Look and for Joe Flacca, look the guy seventy. It's
too much to say, hey, Joe, come play the whole season,
right you need? Okay, end of the year, Joe, can
you make it here?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Great, Okay, maybe the last five or six games. Whatever
we do in the players, that's you go get Joe Flack.
You can't ask Joe Flaca to play the whole season.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh no, No, but to bring him in and you know, hey, Joe,
come hang out for a bit, get ready and acclimate it.
But look the Colts they've got, we've we love what
we've seen from Anthony Richardson, right, going back to the
college days. It's raw, but the opportunity for good uh
and sometimes great play is there if you can stay
on the field. That remains to be determined. But current
(14:14):
NFC North Division winner odds you ready yep gun Lions
plus one thirty yep Packers plus two thirty okay, Bears
between uh plus three hundred and plus three fifty Vikings
plus nine fifty. Yeah, you're saying there's a chance. Yeah,
(14:36):
there's a chance. Not as good as the others, but hey,
there could be a chance. There could be a chan
take a chance, tick a chance toke it to a
chance chance.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No exit set out about a Fresco exit Swollen though, Mike,
Mike Harmon's just giddy because he knows that the Bears
are going to be great, and they're in the era
of good feeling and they're going to be a Super
Bowl threat for a decade.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It was more my ability to make my brain think
good things as opposed to pondering more walking guys ahead
of Aaron Judge. Oh yeah, well, because look, because you look.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Because for the longest time you've been you've been beaten
down as a Bears fan. Man, you haven't had a
lot of suh No, it's been bad.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We've had a couple of years where there was hope,
there was excitement, and there was fail no, and now
you have hope. Now hope, hope springs for you. Now. Man,
You're good. You're good. Man, I'm telling you, dude. By
the way, Hartnotch sucks, I mean the minutes of DJ
More going to an ice cream place for crying out loud. Yeah,
I told you the kids are adorable and whatever. But
come on, now, I told you hard knocks. I told
you hard knocks.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I told you man, I told you wasn't gonna be good?
When when when your season premiere isn't any good? What
is that It doesn't suddenly get better? Right, it's not
one of those things are gonna get back. No, it
doesn't doesn't get better.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And look the running back wheeler, who's you know deferring
med school? That was good? Yeah? Sure's good stories there? Yeah, no, no,
no good stories. Eberflus pretending. All right, can you guys
simulate a real conversation about your quarterback development? Caleb you
sit here, Matt, you sit over here. We'll make sure
we get your good profile. See. But here's the thing.
(16:05):
For a Bears fan, you don't care because you're gonna
be good. Doesn't matter if Hard Knocks sucks. Your season's
gonna be great. Well, the potential is there. I want
entertainment now, and Liam Driver can only get me so far.
Look at me, man, The Jets peaked in Hard Knocks
last year. I mean, the highlight of your night has
been fighting with your dad. Fabiano on in this instant
messenger liv Schreiber getting off the helicopter and showing up
(16:28):
a Jets camp. That was the nadir for the Jets
last year.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I'm pretty sure, Mike that my idea to end the
biggest controversy the last three days is the easiest one,
and I don't understand why it hasn't been done yet.
Oh okay, I thought you were going to respond to
something we got on Twitter. No no, no, no, no
from Minnesota. Oh no, it was. It was only sent
to me. Ready, here we go. Yeah, buddy, this is
(18:54):
from Joe. Hi, Joe, you're acting like the Vikings had
a chance to make it to the super Bowl. They
were a bottom ten team hoping for more with McCarthy.
But here's the money, money quote. This is the worst
segment on radio by you fellas, and I would say
this wouldn't even rank in the top one hundred. Oh
come on, man, we've had hundreds of worse sets. We've
(19:15):
we've done ten years of radio. We can find hundreds
of bits or interviews that went south off the rails,
multiple dump buttons or confusions. Yeah no, no, no, yeah, t.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Shirt working most of those nights. Yeah, no, one hundred percent,
absolutely absolutely good. Fine, look at that. Swipe it while
you're at it. We're a bottom ten team. You're still
playing the games. You're still playing. Tell that to the team.
You know what at vikings On, do me a favorite.
Tell that dude to at vikings On that tweet and say, hey,
you're a bottom ten team. You're playing this season. It
(19:50):
doesn't mean anything, say.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Electric checks. Don't get hurt. This is not major League Baseball, man, Yeah, boss,
just not vote management. In the NBA, where you can
miss twenty percent of the games still be eligible for
rewards and still have people bit mad at you. I
love our people in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, I love you, Joe.
(20:17):
I don't think our guys Charching and Paul Allen and
all those guys are looking forward to the season, going, eh,
what are you gonna do? First? Ben Lieber about that,
he's not gonna be happy.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Steve Gorman's in Minnesota too, He's there. Don't forget about
him talking about Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Tried all our friends there you go. Gorman got his
morning show.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He ain't gotcha Pure or our boss, Minnesota native who
had to flee to Italy so he wouldn't be around
for what's going on.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I mean, I was gonna text him, and then I thought, no,
no at the hours, no family vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, first of all, texting your boss or your manager
when they're on vacation, unless it's I'm bleeding from the
temples and I just happened to hit your phone number.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Don't do it. Don't do it. Yeah, don't do it.
Don't do it.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I've known Scott for almost twenty years now, we've been
from I'm not no way, I'm texting him on vacation. Well,
not about his quarterback. I know you're eight hours aheader behind,
but hey, man, I gotta talk to.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You about that. Boy. I tell you the meniscus thing
really a bummer. Boyse Hi to Lake Como for me
if you see Clooney. Yeah, how's the vacation going? Uh?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
At this point, can we just give Jordan Chiles and
the other gymnasts. Can we give them all bronze medals?
I mean really, can we give them all bronze medals?
That would be too simple. This bronze medal contrast off
the Olympics is just too stupid to continue to have oxygen.
Yet it does kind of like our show is that,
you know. Jordan Childs, of course, didn't win the bronze
(21:50):
medal with her floor routine because the judges screwed up
the scoring. The United States appealed, she was then had
her score adjusted was good enough for the bronze medal.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Afterwards, it was found out or the committee reported that,
oh they didn't get the appealing in time. So she
goes back to fifth place and Anria Barboso goes up,
who is from Romania, and wins the bronze medal.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And now Romania finished third and fourth. Now in this
and the United States finished fifth. Okay, really weird. But
the United States appeal says, hey, we got the uh,
we got it that we appealed within a minute. We
got it at forty seven seconds. Yeah, which is a
lot less than a minute. None, And the arbitration committee
wouldn't hear the argument, says, their ruling stands, and the
(22:36):
Romanian gymnast because there's a reason why wins.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
The win's the bronze medal. Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It was then since found out in the last twenty
four hours that the head, one of the three people
on the committee has done work for Romania for the
last ten years, has done a lot of law work,
and it's something that you have to disclose when you're
going to be a judge. Oh, by the way, I've
been doing stuff for Romania for the last ten years. Hey,
that's a thing. Nope, everything is fine. We're we're going
(23:03):
with what we decided and there's nothing past that. And
now the United States is a little upset too, because supposedly,
when they were going to appeal, the wrong people were.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Notified the United States.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That that they were gonna give the bronze medal back
and take it away from Jordan Chiles.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So this is just an unbelievable mess. And for some reason,
the the arbitration panel and the Olympics, how can you
not just decide, you know what, give them both the
bronze Well, no, no, no, they want to split the baby
between and you know what, and you can because the
gymnasts who finished fourth, they they screwed up hers as
well because they said she stepped out of bounds and
(23:40):
she didn't step out of bounds, so you screwed it up.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Give them all bronze medals. Give everybody who competed the
bronze medal. Just give everybody. Commit But you can give
the bronze medal between these three gennas because you know
what that means. That means a It shows you the
Olympic spirit, which they like to tout all the time.
B Nobody cares if you're splitting a bronze medal, splitting
a gold medal. Okay, that's a thing, because you're talking
(24:06):
about I'm the best or I'm not your third, Okay,
you're third. Everybody would love to win a bronze medal.
These three, these three gymnasts who competed, they all have
some kind of claim to the bronze medal. You can
split that and you know what, it would be a
legendary story. Look at the Olympic spirit, the pictures you
could take with the three of them together, all holding
their bronze medals up. I don't know why you can't
(24:26):
do that. I don't know why you want to take
an Olympics that was the best Olympics we've had in
a long time, that's gotten so much recognition that so
many people watch. So me, you're walking away with such
great memories. No, here's your crazy ass story where no, no,
we're gonna take this medal away from this United States
competitor and give it to a Romanian competitor.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And oh, by the way, the head of the arbitration
committee works in Romayn does a lot of work for Romania.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Like, how does this? How does anybody look good coming
off of this? This would be my easiest decision. You know,
you never see you know, you ever see the movie
burn After reading Oh okay?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
JK.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Simmons and uh Brad Pitt, George Clooney and JK. Simmons
is in charge of this company, and I forget who
it was. At the end of the movie, comes up
and he goes, what's going on. He goes, well, we're
gonna and the other character says, we gotta we gotta
pay a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He goes what happened? He goes well, and he starts
telling the story and JK. Simmons goes, Blanket, pay it,
go ahead, leave like I have no time for this,
but just pay it, just go, just go. It was
one of the funniest lines in the movie. I don't care, blanket,
pay it like. That's how I feel. I don't care,
blank and pay it. Give them all bronze. How does
how does anybody look bad? With this?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All you do is it just gets worse and worse, right,
And that's why I say, if I'm Jordan Chiles, I say,
you come to my house and take the medal from me.
You want it so bad, You come to where I
live and you come take this medal from me. You
take it out of me, you take it off of
my neck, and you take it back. That's how much
I deserve this bronze medal. Give him to everybody. Nobody's
gonna can't. I don't understand why.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
This is where they decided to draw a line in
the sand on this is the story We're going to
go to war over like this isn't.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
This isn't nineteen seventy two at the United States Russia
basketball where the United States wouldn't take their silver medals
because ridiculously they kept giving Russia chances to win until
they won, even when the game was over. This is
it's a bronze medal for gymnastics, and it shows you
the best of what the Olympics can be. But nope,
we're gonna torch that thing. I don't get it, Mike,
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah. I was on the wrong side of one of
those as a youth basketball player where he played basketball
once upon a time. You kid, you must have been
a guard, because I don't. You weren't very tall. Well,
I was tall until fifth grade when everybody else shot
up that next time. Wow, okay, because I was about
the size I am now. In fifth grade. Oh that
(26:42):
was it. Okay, that was it for little Mikey Harmony.
So by eighth grade, everybody jumped past him and they
became truly little. Is that a time lapse photo with Harmon. No,
that's how he looked. Yeah, but that's how we looked
at fourth grade. Now that's how he looked at eighth grade.
That's it. He was a big kid, very excited. Folks thought, Hey,
he's gonna grow another three four inches. This is gonna
be great. Now that's it, that's all you got. But yeah,
(27:04):
you've got George Giles, You've got Sabrina Manika Voynia, who's
the third person in here, and then of course Barbosu,
who every time I see it, I just started saying,
you want stories, you're in one. You're in one, exactly
proposed by the lawyers of the Romanian Gymnastics Federation, with
the prior approval of the Federation, the leadership of the
(27:28):
Roman Now that's very star Wars. That's not very The
Trade Federation is coming in, say okay, he's now in
charge of it all. It's like that gator we were
watching that response to the Imperial Death March.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Strike down that gymnast and take that gymnast place by
my side.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
A terrible emperor, that's a pretty good emperor.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh it's not.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yes, it is, well, you know, for doing it on
the fly. That was a pretty good one. I'll give
you an emperor. You ready, Yeah, go ahead, strike him down.
Well that's the old that's see, there's there's different points.
Ian mcdermotd had that role for a long time. That's true, right,
So like the guy yelling no, he's power. It's a
different guy. Guy, You're like, no, tighter, You're like Beavis
(28:14):
and Buttet. Do it, do it? Do it? Do it?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Don that I am your father, No, that's he's never
for anybody's fun's father. No, he's do not watch the movies.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, I remember, I remember the big scene at Christmas
with him and Darth Vader, when they were just sitting
around the tree together.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yes, that was that was really fun. That's really why
they tried to bury that nineteen seventy eight Star Wars
Christmas special. Darth surproiled too many damn things. Darth Vader
was hoping to get an Atari twenty six hundred. Instead
he got a lightsaber. What can I do with this? Dad? Well,
and then once b Arthur showed up and all went
to hell, Where did you to use that lightsaber? I
(29:00):
learned from watching you it's just a little pot and
slams the door. He slams the door with his hand,
like without even touching it, he just puts it out.
He's like uses the force to close the door. Oh
can you make that? What do you mean? Just what
you explained? Uh? Yeah, sure, I would like to watch that. Yeah, no,
that's that sounds like an adult Swim cartoon.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That's better than anything Disney's done with Star Wars, you.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Know, Christmas with the Skywalkers.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I watch it and it's just the But we need
the voice of the guy doing the Emperor from the
Adult Swim because he's got the best voice.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
What are we doing? What's going on? No, he's got them,
he's got the best. But I can see that. Oh
uh wait, now that's that guy from Space Ghost.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Are you telling me a bunch of teenagers blew up
the bleeping Death Star? That thing wasn't even paid off yet.
Oh where they go? I got to take this phone call. Yeah, oh,
I'll have a turkey club. Oh uh uh cherry coke?
Alright now, Vader Baby, what's going on? No, that's a
that's a completely great Adult Swim cartoon. If Adult Swim
(30:01):
was still around, I don't think Cartoon Network is still around.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
They wiped off their website. Yeah, I know that doesn't
even exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, if maybe if I had that idea a couple
months ago, ty Shirt, we could have done something.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
But now we can't.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Well, too late by you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's not my fault. Hey, ideas come to when they
come to me. Man, I can't control it.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
We have to start our own fledgling network. Yeah, I'm
like a pre cog man. My ideas come when they come.
I can't, Jason.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Netflix is throwing money at anybody that can tell a joke.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Come on, let's go between Netflix. We still got programming
on FS two. They can put us on there. Let's
go Oh, okay, all right with f S two is
still around. Okay, sure we got that. You got lots
of streaming vessels by which we could create beautiful content.
How much doing all of the voices that you guess
are now throwing.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Out yes or yes or no. By the end of September,
f S two will be the home of Colorado football
this season. Like they start out one to three, but
they're still an interest in seeing them. So every week
there on FS they go from big noon kickoff every
week they're.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
On FS two. That could do it. Yeah, one and
three start, although you still sell hope right that they
that Shador Sanders will figure it out, that they're necessarily
gonna win games because we still wanted to watch Caitlinn
Williams last year. Yeah, though we knew the defense is
gonna give up forty eight points a game.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
No, that's true, That's that's true. We would have to
see the press conferences after. Hey, don't go anywhere, but
that's where you're Deion Sanders post game.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay, great, he's gonnaerate the representatives of He's picked three
names out of a hat, three media entities. Wait until
they try to ask their question tonight. It's like Candon Camera, No,
I dig that.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Like Michigan was the official team of the Big Nude
Kickoff last year, and now the official team of FS
two can be Colorado.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Hey, don't forget.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
We got five and six Colorado coming up at you
next week as they play the Big One against Colorado State.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Here's highlights from last year. Yeah, because Oregon, Oregon may
become Big Noon Kickoff here in short. Maybe, No, you're right,
you're right between them and the bucket.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah, but defending national champion Michigan still I think you're
it's just like just like it should be for the rankings.
Like you're the big official team of Big Noon Kickoff
until you lose, until you're deposed. Yeah, right, Like if
you won the national championship last year, you should start
next year as the number one team in the country
and you keep that until you lose, no.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Matter how you lose.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah on paper, Yeah, team a big nuone kickoff until
they lose. Then you can move on to Ohio State,
then move on to Ryanday and Ohio State and all
that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
No, I kind of dig that. I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
world of the sports. But guy who's always with us,
it's Kevin Wyer with what's trending?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Kub Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Everything in Major League Baseball tonight has concluded. The dog
days of August are here, and we're really seeing the
Major League Baseball Pennant races shape up. The Dodgers feeling
the heat in the NL West. They fall to the
Milwaukee Brewers five to four, but combined with the fact
that the Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies eleven four and
(32:59):
the Body beat.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
The Pirates eight to two. It's just a two and
a half.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Game lead for Los Angeles in that NL West, and
while the Dodgers have been treading water, both the Diamondbacks
and Padres red hot Arizona twenty and five, Sin's the
All Star break San Diego nineteen to three in their
last twenty two games. Another race that's really tight is
the American League East. The Yankees and Orioles New York
(33:25):
a half game ahead of Baltimore. They trailed their contest
against the White Sox tonight for much of the game,
but they really exploded late, including another milestone from Aaron Judge.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
The captain is sitting on two hundred and ninety nine
homers three zero, Judge drives it deep left field, way
back and gone goodbye on a three oh pitch, Judge
Laser's home run number three hundred, the fastest ever to
hit that mark and blows this one wide open.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
In the eighth.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Yankees ready network with the call. New York wins at
ten to two in Baltimore. Despite bouncing back to beat
the Nationals four to one, still find themselves a half
game back in New York for first in the AL East.
Back to you guys, Thanks a bunch k up.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live the Tirack dot Com Studios. Oh, we got a
couple of big NFL stories come. We got more of
the JJ McCarthy injury and what could finally possibly happen
if Brandon Ayuk is traded or if he's not. But
up next, maybe the most obvious story of the year.
I mean, there's no story more obvious than this that
(34:35):
just broke. We're gonna bring to you coming up next,
Jason to Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
You gotta get to at least eight nine inches and
then it's gonna be good. I feel like I should
have a much lower voice for this with this song.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Commissioner Gordon, the
joker is on the loose.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
It would didn't better if they was playing Nirvana, right, Yeah,
that's true. That's but that's emo Batman, that's not that's
not like Batman. That's not Christian Bale Batman. That's Emo Batman.
That's where you gotta play like Wilco and Arctic Monkeys
and stuff like that. It's yeah, yeah, I like salty Batman, sure,
and then I like heat and best of all, but
(35:34):
that's just me.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
So the White Sox did something new tonight that yeah, well, okay,
they did something very very obvious. But they did something
new that I didn't think was gonna work, and and
it didn't. They intentionally walk Juan Soto to get to
Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge, who was having what could wind
up being a triple crown season this year, you having
(35:59):
a better year than anybody on the planet, and the
White Socks decide in.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
A game, hey we're down six to two. We gotta
keep it, we gotta keep it. Let's walk Jan Soto
to get to Aaron Judge. You set up a double play,
sure worse, I mean all of those things.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
There's only one problem with that. There's only one problem
with that. There's only one problem.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Well that's one. The other two. Aaron Judge is good,
that's the only problem. Kwon Soto to get to Aaron Judge.
What nobody doesn't. You don't walk anybody to get to
the best hitter in baseball or the second best hitter
in baseball. You don't do that.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
But yet they walk him. Aaron Judge HiT's a three
run homer. He says after the game. The intentional walk
really pissed me off. I took a little bit something
extra special for that tamahawk on he swung at ball four.
It's and I'm putting in the left field seats just
because I feel like it, because you walk the guy
in front of me, because you walked Juan Soto to
(36:55):
get to me again, White socks gonna white Sox. Man,
this is like, get it, just another thing and what
could wind up being the worst season of all time.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Well but when we started the night and it was
only gonna be the seventh inning, it's like, guys, we've
seen this a million times, Like we've seen multiple fail
I think we're at thirty one blown saves for the year.
I mean that, and that's not not even talking about
the games they blew that there was. It wasn't even
a save situation involved where they had a lead after
(37:26):
say five in You know all of these things, but
you know what they they did the bold strategy Judge
hits his three hundredth career home run. They like, they
get a bold strategy. Oh well, we'll see how it
pays off. It's a bold strategy gotten and obviously he
took that personally. But you know, they also look at
something very bold tonight where at nine to twenty four
(37:48):
Eastern this hit the wires. They are lowering season ticket
prices for twenty twenty five by an average of ten percent. Quote,
we understand where all the ticket prices are, whether it's
season two ticket prices, secondary market. After looking at that
and understanding where we are organizationally, we thought it was
important that it's something we do for our season ticket
(38:08):
holders who have been very loyal to us. The most
obvious headline of the year in sports, the White Sox say, Hey,
just so you know, we're gonna be lowering season ticket price.
It's been bad for a while. No, I mean it's
not just an end of twenty twenty four. Hey, get
that you know six game plan for the final three
(38:29):
home stance. No, no, no, it's twenty twenty five. Hey,
we're gonna suck next year. Two. See this is where
I thought you would go the opposit way.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
You would say no, lean into it, raise ticket prices
by twenty five percent, make them think there's really something
big though we.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Suck legitimately, if historically Reinsdorf would show that there weren't
just a bunch of moths that would come out of
his wallet if he opened it, or the old school
checkbook that you pull out, right, it's that giant folio
that you have and it's like five checks in a
row and you have to rip one off and all that.
(39:04):
If he hadn't shown time and time again that there's
no chance in hell he's spending money on anybody to
bring in yeah, I would have said, yeah, go that route,
be bold and just say, hey, we want more, because
we're gonna do more. Forget about the fact that our
minor league system has been crap for years. We're going
over the top and we're gonna spend money. But then,
(39:25):
knowing Ryan Storf, if he wouldn't actually spend said money,
all the clever ruse at eighty eight years old.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Hi, this is James with the season ticket off as
white SOX. Oh great, hey are you guys lowering prices
next year? Like will my thirty six hundred dollars tickets
be like twenty five. No, No, we're actually raising them.
Oh real, Well, so you're spending a lot of money
on free agents and stuff and improvements around the ballpark. No, No,
ballpark's gonna be the same. Players are gonna be the same.
They stick, We're gonna wait it down. We're just raising prices. Wow,
(39:53):
Why no, because we want to look like a destination.
If we're lowering prices, people will think we're a joke
and no one's gonna take us serio. But your raise
price is suddenly the optic around is that, hey, there's
gotta be a reason why they're raising prices.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Their team stinks.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I gotta get to the ballpark and see it. Use
that reverse psychology to get people to show up.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah, have you ever participated in a white elephant exchange
at the holidays ott bag or a or I don't know,
a lottery? Well, we in baseball circles are known as
well a mystery team. So at times we're gonna be
in the press as in the running for a top
(40:31):
notch free agent. You like that, don't you? Are you
gonna get any of them? Well? I don't know, See
I thought, but isn't that great.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I thought you were gonna say the White Sox are
gonna have White Elephant Night and everybody and everybody that
comes gets to open up a present, but take it
from somebody else. I want that president, that guy in
the leftfield bleachers at I'm gonna walk all the way
and chin out.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
That's just go demolition Part two. Pal, It was more
just the mystery gift that comes your way.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
All three hundred fans here White Elephant Night are gonna
get a new gift from the Chicago.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Making three hundred jerk.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I hope you get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,

Tirack dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
Uh So, just just really quick before we get to
a big story.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Jjmccarthy, So, you know, the Brandon Aiyuk situation is going on.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We talked to about it and potentially could get traded.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
There's a deal on the table with the Steelers and
we're waiting to see if Ayuk wants to take the deal,
if he's going to stay a forty nine er. He
was at practice today, so was he really going to
get traded. There is if there's a dynasty league. I'm
doing a drafting right now, and it has been paused
because now you get you get it's twenty four hours
per pick, right, that's how you.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Get twenty four hours per pick. And the next person
up in like an auto pick situation, right.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The next the next player up on anybody. The best
player available is Roman Wilson, right, who, of course is
going to be allegedly, hey, the big slot receiver for
the Steelers this year. Right, kind of the same skill
set as lad Miconchiel, though he's a different guy like
Roman Wilson is a terrific wide out right different skill
set but but still some woman can do. But obviously,
(01:45):
if the Steelers trade for Brandon Ayuk, his fantasy prospects
go down the toilet. Right, There's only so many footballs
to go around between him and George Pickens. So we've
been on a twenty four hour like waiting until the
last possible minute before the next makes their selection. Because
I know with Wilson sitting right being the next guy
you would take. You know, there's other people you would take,
(02:06):
but he's certainly there. His ADP is way ahead of
a lot of other people, Like I know, he's just
waiting to go. Okay, if this deal goes down, I'm
not gonna tap. But but if it doesn't, he's gonna stay.
I'll take Roman Wilson.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So I feel like he's holding the draft hostage just
to wait out as much as he can to get
to the point where okay, I'm not gonna you know, Okay,
now I have to make a move, and I gotta
pick a guy. I don't have to pick a guy.
I gotta be real honest. At this point, I would
felix Unger the league and walk because you're violating the spirit,
like unless you can prove some level of emergency at
(02:39):
your job or your home life, your car broke down
in the middle of the desert and you have no
cell reception, no bars, no way to charge said phone,
and you're out of pocket completely. This is nonsense. It's
a damn fantasy league, you clown. I mean, technic, I'm
(03:00):
all about trying to win and whatever, but but the
twenty four hour clock is there, you know, to help
protect against emergencies and extenuated circumstances Like this is just
ridiculous because you know exactly the game has been shift
that's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
No, look and and and look, and here's the thing
is that I get that no one he that the
person that no one is is been is breaking the rules,
like no one's going.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
All the way. No, No it's not. It's a different
it's a differently. No, it's a different league. And I'm
sitting here going I just know.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But he's got to make a decision by tomorrow, like
like tomorrow morning at I think at seven a m.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
My time, so ten am Eastern. So like okay, so
all the way till then, either either.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You make a pick by then or you pass and
it goes you get passed and yeah, yeah you miss
your you miss your pick at that point.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So he's gonna have to make by notes. I'm just
waiting it out as long as I can. Oh, they
trade Brandon Ayuk, I'm not gonna take it, but if
they do, I'm gonna. I just know that's happening. It's
just insane. This is how well can you verify when
the last time they logged into the league was oh,
I don't have I don't have that because there because
there is a my fantasy league. Yeah, you're on that
(04:22):
because I've done slow drafts on that site to where
it shows the last time you logged in. Oh, so
you'd be able to see he he's logged in eight
hours ago or five hours ago or six days or whatever,
because we did a slow draft earlier, earlier this summer,
and I actually have a yuk and Jamar Chase. I
(04:44):
went all in on the guys everybody was avoiding. Oh
my good. There's still really good receivers no matter whether
they play or there. I'm taking them all. Yeah, I'll
take I'll take all the risk and then I'll get
all the reward because you were all scared. But it
was on a twenty four hour clock, so you legitimately
have someone who just didn't expect, you know, twenty three
(05:05):
picks to run fast, and all of a sudden they
were back on the board. So potentially they were logged
off for twenty four hours, but you'd be able to
see that on the activity underneath the league owners. So
wondering if your site there has that, you know, ability
for you to go and spy and see if well,
if they've been logged down this whole time, it just
(05:25):
playing the waiting game.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
See well, first of all, the waiting game sucks, so
I play hungry, hungry hippos.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Secondly, I played if.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I don't know if I was a bad guy in
a in a if I was a bad guy in
a cyber thriller, like maybe I could faink.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hey tell me when that guy logged it, You've got
it for you right now, eight o six this morning
he logged in.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I got it right here. I traced his IP. Wait,
it's bounced it all over the place. It's bounced all
over the world. I can't find him.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I don't know where he at guys allegedly in Sri Lanka.
What the hell? I can't find it. It's in a
basement in Brooklyn. But you know, no, I can't it's encrypted.
It's encrypted. I can't find that it's encrypted. How much
of that was just just a crutch the TV shows
used to fall on. Can you find it where it's
coming from? Oh? No, it's encrypted. Why am I paying
(06:10):
you for? What the hell am I paying you for?
You server? And yeah, oh yeah, yeah, And then the
government address and the government can't find it. The highest
level of the government. No, it's ENCRYPTI no, why did
you bring the government into it. So now they're gonna
look at you, and they're gonna look at me. And
all of a sudden we're in provact and they're already looking
at tyshirt. So why do you have to double down
(06:31):
on their efforts? It's encrypted. It's like it's like the guys,
it's like the guys in the government are saying, well,
let me see he went to Florida. Maybe his pass
word is gators. Let me try gators. No, well, a
couple more, I'm gonna get locked up. Let me try
you bo let me try one, two, three, four five. Oh,
that's not it either. It says I've got to wait
another twenty four hours to try to reset again. How
(06:53):
do we get how do we get past this plotline
in the movie? Oh, just say it's encrypted.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, but but I mean the government should be able
to get No, No, they can't, they can't do it.
Just say it's encrypted.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And then you just say he's the best hacker in
the game, which means you know, you've got to find
someone to match wits and that buys him extra time.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
But it always takes the best hacker in the game
forever to break through.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Well, but then you got a fire. But that's hideous.
But you always have to find them, you know, with
an illegality on a technicality, so like you know, tax
evasion or something, and then they have to come work
for you to take down the Hey man, that's how
they got all the biggest criminals in the know. That's
how they got capone. Here's how they pay off their debt.
(07:36):
Right here, you catch me if you can, Let's call
it Leo get cracking.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Exit out by to Fresca exit swollen do on the
Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon Live the tirerech dot Com
Studios and now.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Look the biggest NFL story of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Today we find out we get the confirmation that JJ
McCarthy done for the season. Vikings quarterback who got hurt
in his NFL debut this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It was really.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Unknown when he did suffer a knee injury because he
looked really good, he played well. He showed up to
Vikings facility on Monday and it was hey, mine doesn't
feel so good. Underwent surgery today and as a result
of the surgery, he is out the rest of this season.
Last night, the report was could be a few weeks,
could be the whole season, depends on how the surgery goes.
(08:20):
We know the surgery went as it didn't go poorly,
but it went poorly for his chances to return this year.
So now he's out for the next year. So now
let's look at this from a different angle right now.
So now Sam Donald is the quarterback of the Vikings.
I told you last night Sam Donald stinks.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Ty fifteen Fantasy Network.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I know, crazy and and and people who were
morons I saw suddenly saying Sam Donald is great. No,
Sam Donald just doesn't suddenly get good because JJ McCarthy
is out. Because Sam Donald's gonna Oh now I have
him as a great fantasy quarterback, or now I think
he's gonna be great. Why what shows you he's gonna
be great, Because if he was gonna be great, you'd
had him in your top fifteen already. Because he's if
(08:58):
he's great, he's not given and the job of JJ McCarthy.
But obviously JJ McCarthy was gonna take the job as
soon as he was ready. He would probably sit a
few weeks, maybe four or five weeks, and then he
would take over. So you can't sit here and tell me. Oh, now,
Sam Donald is this He's just a guy. He's a
guy that if you if you need a quarterback and
in the late rounds of draft you have it, you
need a second, a backup, or a third string, He's
(09:20):
a guy you take right. Sam Donald is not the guy.
He doesn't suddenly get good because the guy behind him
got hurt.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Well, he doesn't have to look over his shoulders, thought
of it all now, and.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And I'll and I'll tell you this. Here's and here's
the other part of this conversation. Here's a New Angles conversation.
If you're the Vikings, then let's just be honest. You're
the Vikings, and you're you know, you're, you're you're even
you're thinking about I put you in charge of the Vikings.
Are you really that convinced that you don't need to
go out and get somebody else, that you don't need
to try to go make a move on someone that
(09:53):
might be available. So you're not punting on this year
because if you stick with Sam Donald, you are telling
your fan base and the team that, well, this season's
just gonna suck because everybody knows, the fans know, the
team knows. Hey, you're starting until JJ McCarthy is ready.
That's that's how it goes. That's why it went the
way it is. And if you don't go get somebody,
you're telling the team, hey, this season's just gonna suck
(10:16):
right now. You can only go out and get the
best of what's available. But can you really say, no,
we're not gonna go get somebody else. We're not where
Jaron Hall is gonna be our guy. If something happens
to the same, can you really sit back and say no,
of course not, of course not.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No sane person would think, yeah, we're good, We're just
we're dancing with who brung us. No, you have to
go out and get somebody, right. And there were some
crazy reports on the internet earlier today that, oh, maybe
they called the Saints about Derek Carr. You know what,
certain teams, why not give a call to like Spencer
Ratler has played okay, he's looked all right, you're the Saints.
Maybe you want to get out from under that Derek
(10:50):
Carr contract. You can get a couple of draft picks, hey,
something like that. But Joe Raiders should be calling for
Derek Carr. You need to get he's always says he's
a Raider, right, he always says, but you know you
have to start making a call. You have to call,
you have to call the Raiders and say, hey, is
Gardner Minshew really gonna win your job? Is he really
gonna win? Because if he is, okay, but if he's not,
(11:12):
we would like to offer you something for him, because
you're gonna need a couple of guys to get through
this season, right, you know, your dreams of winning the
division were never there anyway, But you can't punt on
the year and you can't go win by saying Sam
Donald is our guy. Even fantasy experts who were saying,
oh yeah, he's a top tip to you. Really think
if I put you in charge of a team, you
would say, oh yeah, absolutely, this this is fine? He did,
(11:34):
Sam Donald being the only real quarterback option is great? No,
of course not. You know, you have to go get
somebody else and hopefully the phone calls are started. And
I don't I don't know what the level of truth
to some of this stuff with the Derek carrs. I mean,
I haven't really seen it anywhere else would sign like
maybe it was something that was thrown out there, But
you need to call. You need to call the Saints,
You gotta call, gotta call some other teams. Hey, who
(11:55):
do you got? What do you like here? What if
we made a move for this guy? Hey, is this
guy really there for you? There are teams with a
couple of quarterbacks and a guy's not gonna win where
they would eminently be available. And maybe Derek carr is,
maybe Gardner minshew is, But there's five or six guys
around the league where you could say, okay, maybe for
the right price, we can shake this guy loose and
(12:15):
they'll be okay with their younger guy coming up and
being their backup, or or somebody else being their backup.
Because we hit it big with Josh Dobbs last year.
We signed a guy who he was just a guy right,
all of a sudden, Josh Dobbs comes in and for
a month he looked like one of the best quarterbacks
in the game.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
So you could come in and do that.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You can have guys come in at the last minute
and show you, hey, we can really get it done.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
But you look at where their situation is.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
There's no way they can go in and say, yeah,
we're okay with Darnold and whatever else happens, happens.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You have to go get somebody else. I've seen Bailey
Zappi's name floated out there. Ryan Tannehill still doesn't have
a job. Sure, sure, I mean, yes, why not? You
know what? You know what I mean like in terms
of a guy waiting for a chance, could he come
in and could O'Connell fix him and bring him along?
If Sam Darnold Falters, I know he didn't play terribly
(13:06):
well the last couple of years, but yeah, he had
some moments along the way. So he's still without a job.
I mean, just go around the NFL. You know, the
Bears are on hard knocks, so all of a sudden,
everybody's like, yeah, you know there's gonna be an odd
man out who knows, maybe he's ripping. Could be that guy.
He saw what he did with Colin Johnson. That was great,
But just yeah, you've got to go find another body
(13:27):
or two. I was gonna joke about Joe Flacco, but
I fear that the Colts will actually need him at
some point, so you know they're not gonna go and
divest out of that position and the.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Look and for Joe Flacca, look the guy seventy. It's
too much to say, hey, Joe, come play the whole season,
right you need? Okay, end of the year, Joe, can
you make it here?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Great, Okay, maybe the last five or six games. Whatever
we do in the players, that's you go get Joe Flack.
You can't ask Joe Flaca to play the whole season.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh no, No, but to bring him in and you know, hey, Joe,
come hang out for a bit, get ready and acclimate it.
But look the Colts they've got, we've we love what
we've seen from Anthony Richardson, right, going back to the
college days. It's raw, but the opportunity for good uh
and sometimes great play is there if you can stay
on the field. That remains to be determined. But current
(14:14):
NFC North Division winner odds you ready yep gun Lions
plus one thirty yep Packers plus two thirty okay, Bears
between uh plus three hundred and plus three fifty Vikings
plus nine fifty. Yeah, you're saying there's a chance. Yeah,
(14:36):
there's a chance. Not as good as the others, but hey,
there could be a chance. There could be a chan
take a chance, tick a chance toke it to a
chance chance.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No exit set out about a Fresco exit Swollen though, Mike,
Mike Harmon's just giddy because he knows that the Bears
are going to be great, and they're in the era
of good feeling and they're going to be a Super
Bowl threat for a decade.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It was more my ability to make my brain think
good things as opposed to pondering more walking guys ahead
of Aaron Judge. Oh yeah, well, because look, because you look.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Because for the longest time you've been you've been beaten
down as a Bears fan. Man, you haven't had a
lot of suh No, it's been bad.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We've had a couple of years where there was hope,
there was excitement, and there was fail no, and now
you have hope. Now hope, hope springs for you. Now. Man,
You're good. You're good. Man, I'm telling you, dude. By
the way, Hartnotch sucks, I mean the minutes of DJ
More going to an ice cream place for crying out loud. Yeah,
I told you the kids are adorable and whatever. But
come on, now, I told you hard knocks. I told
you hard knocks.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I told you man, I told you wasn't gonna be good?
When when when your season premiere isn't any good? What
is that It doesn't suddenly get better? Right, it's not
one of those things are gonna get back. No, it
doesn't doesn't get better.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And look the running back wheeler, who's you know deferring
med school? That was good? Yeah? Sure's good stories there? Yeah, no, no,
no good stories. Eberflus pretending. All right, can you guys
simulate a real conversation about your quarterback development? Caleb you
sit here, Matt, you sit over here. We'll make sure
we get your good profile. See. But here's the thing.
(16:05):
For a Bears fan, you don't care because you're gonna
be good. Doesn't matter if Hard Knocks sucks. Your season's
gonna be great. Well, the potential is there. I want
entertainment now, and Liam Driver can only get me so far.
Look at me, man, The Jets peaked in Hard Knocks
last year. I mean, the highlight of your night has
been fighting with your dad. Fabiano on in this instant
messenger liv Schreiber getting off the helicopter and showing up
(16:28):
a Jets camp. That was the nadir for the Jets
last year.

Oh okay, I thought you were going to respond to
something we got on Twitter. No no, no, no, no
from Minnesota. Oh no, it was. It was only sent
to me. Ready, here we go. Yeah, buddy, this is
(18:54):
from Joe. Hi, Joe, you're acting like the Vikings had
a chance to make it to the super Bowl. They
were a bottom ten team hoping for more with McCarthy.
But here's the money, money quote. This is the worst
segment on radio by you fellas, and I would say
this wouldn't even rank in the top one hundred. Oh
come on, man, we've had hundreds of worse sets. We've
(19:15):
we've done ten years of radio. We can find hundreds
of bits or interviews that went south off the rails,
multiple dump buttons or confusions. Yeah no, no, no, yeah, t.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Shirt working most of those nights. Yeah, no, one hundred percent,
absolutely absolutely good. Fine, look at that. Swipe it while
you're at it. We're a bottom ten team. You're still
playing the games. You're still playing. Tell that to the team.
You know what at vikings On, do me a favorite.
Tell that dude to at vikings On that tweet and say, hey,
you're a bottom ten team. You're playing this season. It
(19:50):
doesn't mean anything, say.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Electric checks. Don't get hurt. This is not major League Baseball, man, Yeah, boss,
just not vote management. In the NBA, where you can
miss twenty percent of the games still be eligible for
rewards and still have people bit mad at you. I
love our people in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, I love you, Joe.
(20:17):
I don't think our guys Charching and Paul Allen and
all those guys are looking forward to the season, going, eh,
what are you gonna do? First? Ben Lieber about that,
he's not gonna be happy.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Steve Gorman's in Minnesota too, He's there. Don't forget about
him talking about Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Tried all our friends there you go. Gorman got his
morning show.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He ain't gotcha Pure or our boss, Minnesota native who
had to flee to Italy so he wouldn't be around
for what's going on.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I mean, I was gonna text him, and then I thought, no,
no at the hours, no family vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, first of all, texting your boss or your manager
when they're on vacation, unless it's I'm bleeding from the
temples and I just happened to hit your phone number.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Don't do it. Don't do it. Yeah, don't do it.
Don't do it.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I've known Scott for almost twenty years now, we've been
from I'm not no way, I'm texting him on vacation. Well,
not about his quarterback. I know you're eight hours aheader behind,
but hey, man, I gotta talk to.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You about that. Boy. I tell you the meniscus thing
really a bummer. Boyse Hi to Lake Como for me
if you see Clooney. Yeah, how's the vacation going? Uh?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
At this point, can we just give Jordan Chiles and
the other gymnasts. Can we give them all bronze medals?
I mean really, can we give them all bronze medals?
That would be too simple. This bronze medal contrast off
the Olympics is just too stupid to continue to have oxygen.
Yet it does kind of like our show is that,
you know. Jordan Childs, of course, didn't win the bronze
(21:50):
medal with her floor routine because the judges screwed up
the scoring. The United States appealed, she was then had
her score adjusted was good enough for the bronze medal.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Afterwards, it was found out or the committee reported that,
oh they didn't get the appealing in time. So she
goes back to fifth place and Anria Barboso goes up,
who is from Romania, and wins the bronze medal.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And now Romania finished third and fourth. Now in this
and the United States finished fifth. Okay, really weird. But
the United States appeal says, hey, we got the uh,
we got it that we appealed within a minute. We
got it at forty seven seconds. Yeah, which is a
lot less than a minute. None, And the arbitration committee
wouldn't hear the argument, says, their ruling stands, and the
(22:36):
Romanian gymnast because there's a reason why wins.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
The win's the bronze medal. Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It was then since found out in the last twenty
four hours that the head, one of the three people
on the committee has done work for Romania for the
last ten years, has done a lot of law work,
and it's something that you have to disclose when you're
going to be a judge. Oh, by the way, I've
been doing stuff for Romania for the last ten years. Hey,
that's a thing. Nope, everything is fine. We're we're going
(23:03):
with what we decided and there's nothing past that. And
now the United States is a little upset too, because supposedly,
when they were going to appeal, the wrong people were.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Notified the United States.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That that they were gonna give the bronze medal back
and take it away from Jordan Chiles.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So this is just an unbelievable mess. And for some reason,
the the arbitration panel and the Olympics, how can you
not just decide, you know what, give them both the
bronze Well, no, no, no, they want to split the baby
between and you know what, and you can because the
gymnasts who finished fourth, they they screwed up hers as
well because they said she stepped out of bounds and
(23:40):
she didn't step out of bounds, so you screwed it up.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Give them all bronze medals. Give everybody who competed the
bronze medal. Just give everybody. Commit But you can give
the bronze medal between these three gennas because you know
what that means. That means a It shows you the
Olympic spirit, which they like to tout all the time.
B Nobody cares if you're splitting a bronze medal, splitting
a gold medal. Okay, that's a thing, because you're talking
(24:06):
about I'm the best or I'm not your third, Okay,
you're third. Everybody would love to win a bronze medal.
These three, these three gymnasts who competed, they all have
some kind of claim to the bronze medal. You can
split that and you know what, it would be a
legendary story. Look at the Olympic spirit, the pictures you
could take with the three of them together, all holding
their bronze medals up. I don't know why you can't
(24:26):
do that. I don't know why you want to take
an Olympics that was the best Olympics we've had in
a long time, that's gotten so much recognition that so
many people watch. So me, you're walking away with such
great memories. No, here's your crazy ass story where no, no,
we're gonna take this medal away from this United States
competitor and give it to a Romanian competitor.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And oh, by the way, the head of the arbitration
committee works in Romayn does a lot of work for Romania.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Like, how does this? How does anybody look good coming
off of this? This would be my easiest decision. You know,
you never see you know, you ever see the movie
burn After reading Oh okay?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
JK.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Simmons and uh Brad Pitt, George Clooney and JK. Simmons
is in charge of this company, and I forget who
it was. At the end of the movie, comes up
and he goes, what's going on. He goes, well, we're
gonna and the other character says, we gotta we gotta
pay a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He goes what happened? He goes well, and he starts
telling the story and JK. Simmons goes, Blanket, pay it,
go ahead, leave like I have no time for this,
but just pay it, just go, just go. It was
one of the funniest lines in the movie. I don't care, blanket,
pay it like. That's how I feel. I don't care,
blank and pay it. Give them all bronze. How does
how does anybody look bad? With this?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All you do is it just gets worse and worse, right,
And that's why I say, if I'm Jordan Chiles, I say,
you come to my house and take the medal from me.
You want it so bad, You come to where I
live and you come take this medal from me. You
take it out of me, you take it off of
my neck, and you take it back. That's how much
I deserve this bronze medal. Give him to everybody. Nobody's
gonna can't. I don't understand why.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
This is where they decided to draw a line in
the sand on this is the story We're going to
go to war over like this isn't.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
This isn't nineteen seventy two at the United States Russia
basketball where the United States wouldn't take their silver medals
because ridiculously they kept giving Russia chances to win until
they won, even when the game was over. This is
it's a bronze medal for gymnastics, and it shows you
the best of what the Olympics can be. But nope,
we're gonna torch that thing. I don't get it, Mike,
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah. I was on the wrong side of one of
those as a youth basketball player where he played basketball
once upon a time. You kid, you must have been
a guard, because I don't. You weren't very tall. Well,
I was tall until fifth grade when everybody else shot
up that next time. Wow, okay, because I was about
the size I am now. In fifth grade. Oh that
(26:42):
was it. Okay, that was it for little Mikey Harmony.
So by eighth grade, everybody jumped past him and they
became truly little. Is that a time lapse photo with Harmon. No,
that's how he looked. Yeah, but that's how we looked
at fourth grade. Now that's how he looked at eighth grade.
That's it. He was a big kid, very excited. Folks thought, Hey,
he's gonna grow another three four inches. This is gonna
be great. Now that's it, that's all you got. But yeah,
(27:04):
you've got George Giles, You've got Sabrina Manika Voynia, who's
the third person in here, and then of course Barbosu,
who every time I see it, I just started saying,
you want stories, you're in one. You're in one, exactly
proposed by the lawyers of the Romanian Gymnastics Federation, with
the prior approval of the Federation, the leadership of the
(27:28):
Roman Now that's very star Wars. That's not very The
Trade Federation is coming in, say okay, he's now in
charge of it all. It's like that gator we were
watching that response to the Imperial Death March.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Strike down that gymnast and take that gymnast place by
my side.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
A terrible emperor, that's a pretty good emperor.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh it's not.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yes, it is, well, you know, for doing it on
the fly. That was a pretty good one. I'll give
you an emperor. You ready, Yeah, go ahead, strike him down.
Well that's the old that's see, there's there's different points.
Ian mcdermotd had that role for a long time. That's true, right,
So like the guy yelling no, he's power. It's a
different guy. Guy, You're like, no, tighter, You're like Beavis
(28:14):
and Buttet. Do it, do it? Do it? Do it?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Do it?
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Don that I am your father, No, that's he's never
for anybody's fun's father. No, he's do not watch the movies.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, I remember, I remember the big scene at Christmas
with him and Darth Vader, when they were just sitting
around the tree together.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yes, that was that was really fun. That's really why
they tried to bury that nineteen seventy eight Star Wars
Christmas special. Darth surproiled too many damn things. Darth Vader
was hoping to get an Atari twenty six hundred. Instead
he got a lightsaber. What can I do with this? Dad? Well,
and then once b Arthur showed up and all went
to hell, Where did you to use that lightsaber? I
(29:00):
learned from watching you it's just a little pot and
slams the door. He slams the door with his hand,
like without even touching it, he just puts it out.
He's like uses the force to close the door. Oh
can you make that? What do you mean? Just what
you explained? Uh? Yeah, sure, I would like to watch that. Yeah, no,
that's that sounds like an adult Swim cartoon.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That's better than anything Disney's done with Star Wars, you.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Know, Christmas with the Skywalkers.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I watch it and it's just the But we need
the voice of the guy doing the Emperor from the
Adult Swim because he's got the best voice.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
What are we doing? What's going on? No, he's got them,
he's got the best. But I can see that. Oh
uh wait, now that's that guy from Space Ghost.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Are you telling me a bunch of teenagers blew up
the bleeping Death Star? That thing wasn't even paid off yet.
Oh where they go? I got to take this phone call. Yeah, oh,
I'll have a turkey club. Oh uh uh cherry coke?
Alright now, Vader Baby, what's going on? No, that's a
that's a completely great Adult Swim cartoon. If Adult Swim
(30:01):
was still around, I don't think Cartoon Network is still around.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
They wiped off their website. Yeah, I know that doesn't
even exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, if maybe if I had that idea a couple
months ago, ty Shirt, we could have done something.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
But now we can't.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Well, too late by you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's not my fault. Hey, ideas come to when they
come to me. Man, I can't control it.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
We have to start our own fledgling network. Yeah, I'm
like a pre cog man. My ideas come when they come.
I can't, Jason.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Netflix is throwing money at anybody that can tell a joke.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Come on, let's go between Netflix. We still got programming
on FS two. They can put us on there. Let's
go Oh, okay, all right with f S two is
still around. Okay, sure we got that. You got lots
of streaming vessels by which we could create beautiful content.
How much doing all of the voices that you guess
are now throwing.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Out yes or yes or no. By the end of September,
f S two will be the home of Colorado football
this season. Like they start out one to three, but
they're still an interest in seeing them. So every week
there on FS they go from big noon kickoff every
week they're.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
On FS two. That could do it. Yeah, one and
three start, although you still sell hope right that they
that Shador Sanders will figure it out, that they're necessarily
gonna win games because we still wanted to watch Caitlinn
Williams last year. Yeah, though we knew the defense is
gonna give up forty eight points a game.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
No, that's true, That's that's true. We would have to
see the press conferences after. Hey, don't go anywhere, but
that's where you're Deion Sanders post game.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay, great, he's gonnaerate the representatives of He's picked three
names out of a hat, three media entities. Wait until
they try to ask their question tonight. It's like Candon Camera, No,
I dig that.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Like Michigan was the official team of the Big Nude
Kickoff last year, and now the official team of FS
two can be Colorado.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Hey, don't forget.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
We got five and six Colorado coming up at you
next week as they play the Big One against Colorado State.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Here's highlights from last year. Yeah, because Oregon, Oregon may
become Big Noon Kickoff here in short. Maybe, No, you're right,
you're right between them and the bucket.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah, but defending national champion Michigan still I think you're
it's just like just like it should be for the rankings.
Like you're the big official team of Big Noon Kickoff
until you lose, until you're deposed. Yeah, right, Like if
you won the national championship last year, you should start
next year as the number one team in the country
and you keep that until you lose, no.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Matter how you lose.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah on paper, Yeah, team a big nuone kickoff until
they lose. Then you can move on to Ohio State,
then move on to Ryanday and Ohio State and all
that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
No, I kind of dig that. I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
world of the sports. But guy who's always with us,
it's Kevin Wyer with what's trending?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Kub Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Everything in Major League Baseball tonight has concluded. The dog
days of August are here, and we're really seeing the
Major League Baseball Pennant races shape up. The Dodgers feeling
the heat in the NL West. They fall to the
Milwaukee Brewers five to four, but combined with the fact
that the Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies eleven four and
(32:59):
the Body beat.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
The Pirates eight to two. It's just a two and
a half.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Game lead for Los Angeles in that NL West, and
while the Dodgers have been treading water, both the Diamondbacks
and Padres red hot Arizona twenty and five, Sin's the
All Star break San Diego nineteen to three in their
last twenty two games. Another race that's really tight is
the American League East. The Yankees and Orioles New York
(33:25):
a half game ahead of Baltimore. They trailed their contest
against the White Sox tonight for much of the game,
but they really exploded late, including another milestone from Aaron Judge.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
The captain is sitting on two hundred and ninety nine
homers three zero, Judge drives it deep left field, way
back and gone goodbye on a three oh pitch, Judge
Laser's home run number three hundred, the fastest ever to
hit that mark and blows this one wide open.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
In the eighth.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Yankees ready network with the call. New York wins at
ten to two in Baltimore. Despite bouncing back to beat
the Nationals four to one, still find themselves a half
game back in New York for first in the AL East.
Back to you guys, Thanks a bunch k up.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live the Tirack dot Com Studios. Oh, we got a
couple of big NFL stories come. We got more of
the JJ McCarthy injury and what could finally possibly happen
if Brandon Ayuk is traded or if he's not. But
up next, maybe the most obvious story of the year.
I mean, there's no story more obvious than this that
(34:35):
just broke. We're gonna bring to you coming up next,
Jason to Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
You gotta get to at least eight nine inches and
then it's gonna be good. I feel like I should
have a much lower voice for this with this song.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Commissioner Gordon, the
joker is on the loose.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
It would didn't better if they was playing Nirvana, right, Yeah,
that's true. That's but that's emo Batman, that's not that's
not like Batman. That's not Christian Bale Batman. That's Emo Batman.
That's where you gotta play like Wilco and Arctic Monkeys
and stuff like that. It's yeah, yeah, I like salty Batman, sure,
and then I like heat and best of all, but
(35:34):
that's just me.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
So the White Sox did something new tonight that yeah, well, okay,
they did something very very obvious. But they did something
new that I didn't think was gonna work, and and
it didn't. They intentionally walk Juan Soto to get to
Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge, who was having what could wind
up being a triple crown season this year, you having
(35:59):
a better year than anybody on the planet, and the
White Socks decide in.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
A game, hey we're down six to two. We gotta
keep it, we gotta keep it. Let's walk Jan Soto
to get to Aaron Judge. You set up a double play,
sure worse, I mean all of those things.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
There's only one problem with that. There's only one problem
with that. There's only one problem.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Well that's one. The other two. Aaron Judge is good,
that's the only problem. Kwon Soto to get to Aaron Judge.
What nobody doesn't. You don't walk anybody to get to
the best hitter in baseball or the second best hitter
in baseball. You don't do that.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
But yet they walk him. Aaron Judge HiT's a three
run homer. He says after the game. The intentional walk
really pissed me off. I took a little bit something
extra special for that tamahawk on he swung at ball four.
It's and I'm putting in the left field seats just
because I feel like it, because you walk the guy
in front of me, because you walked Juan Soto to
(36:55):
get to me again, White socks gonna white Sox. Man,
this is like, get it, just another thing and what
could wind up being the worst season of all time.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Well but when we started the night and it was
only gonna be the seventh inning, it's like, guys, we've
seen this a million times, Like we've seen multiple fail
I think we're at thirty one blown saves for the year.
I mean that, and that's not not even talking about
the games they blew that there was. It wasn't even
a save situation involved where they had a lead after
(37:26):
say five in You know all of these things, but
you know what they they did the bold strategy Judge
hits his three hundredth career home run. They like, they
get a bold strategy. Oh well, we'll see how it
pays off. It's a bold strategy gotten and obviously he
took that personally. But you know, they also look at
something very bold tonight where at nine to twenty four
(37:48):
Eastern this hit the wires. They are lowering season ticket
prices for twenty twenty five by an average of ten percent. Quote,
we understand where all the ticket prices are, whether it's
season two ticket prices, secondary market. After looking at that
and understanding where we are organizationally, we thought it was
important that it's something we do for our season ticket
(38:08):
holders who have been very loyal to us. The most
obvious headline of the year in sports, the White Sox say, Hey,
just so you know, we're gonna be lowering season ticket price.
It's been bad for a while. No, I mean it's
not just an end of twenty twenty four. Hey, get
that you know six game plan for the final three
(38:29):
home stance. No, no, no, it's twenty twenty five. Hey,
we're gonna suck next year. Two. See this is where
I thought you would go the opposit way.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
You would say no, lean into it, raise ticket prices
by twenty five percent, make them think there's really something
big though we.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Suck legitimately, if historically Reinsdorf would show that there weren't
just a bunch of moths that would come out of
his wallet if he opened it, or the old school
checkbook that you pull out, right, it's that giant folio
that you have and it's like five checks in a
row and you have to rip one off and all that.
(39:04):
If he hadn't shown time and time again that there's
no chance in hell he's spending money on anybody to
bring in yeah, I would have said, yeah, go that route,
be bold and just say, hey, we want more, because
we're gonna do more. Forget about the fact that our
minor league system has been crap for years. We're going
over the top and we're gonna spend money. But then,
(39:25):
knowing Ryan Storf, if he wouldn't actually spend said money,
all the clever ruse at eighty eight years old.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Hi, this is James with the season ticket off as
white SOX. Oh great, hey are you guys lowering prices
next year? Like will my thirty six hundred dollars tickets
be like twenty five. No, No, we're actually raising them.
Oh real, Well, so you're spending a lot of money
on free agents and stuff and improvements around the ballpark. No, No,
ballpark's gonna be the same. Players are gonna be the same.
They stick, We're gonna wait it down. We're just raising prices. Wow,
(39:53):
Why no, because we want to look like a destination.
If we're lowering prices, people will think we're a joke
and no one's gonna take us serio. But your raise
price is suddenly the optic around is that, hey, there's
gotta be a reason why they're raising prices.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Their team stinks.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I gotta get to the ballpark and see it. Use
that reverse psychology to get people to show up.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah, have you ever participated in a white elephant exchange
at the holidays ott bag or a or I don't know,
a lottery? Well, we in baseball circles are known as
well a mystery team. So at times we're gonna be
in the press as in the running for a top
(40:31):
notch free agent. You like that, don't you? Are you
gonna get any of them? Well? I don't know, See
I thought, but isn't that great.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I thought you were gonna say the White Sox are
gonna have White Elephant Night and everybody and everybody that
comes gets to open up a present, but take it
from somebody else. I want that president, that guy in
the leftfield bleachers at I'm gonna walk all the way
and chin out.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
That's just go demolition Part two. Pal, It was more
just the mystery gift that comes your way.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
All three hundred fans here White Elephant Night are gonna
get a new gift from the Chicago.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Making three hundred jerk.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Coming up next, we get back into a big NFL
trade story.
