(00:51):
Coming up in twenty minutes, got Jason Cole stopping by
NFL Insider all the latest so we get set for
a big week fifteen in the NFL. And oh, by
the way, let me you know, well, yeah, let me
just shout out a guy who hasn't gotten a shout
out probably in like three years, a shout out. Yeah, yeah,
you want some wacky music underneath something like I could
do shout out to shout out al Michaels. Yeah, okay,
(01:13):
reported today he's going to return to TNF and and
broadcast the games for Amazon next year. Gonna be year
by year the eighties is. Look, I don't want to
be a guy still doing it when I don't have
my fastball, but I still feel really good and I'm
gonna come back next year. Was he just reinvigorated by
the equality of games of late well, And that's the thing.
That's why I shout out al Michaels because last year,
(01:37):
look how disinterested did he say? How awful was it?
And how bad was the slate?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
The NFL has never done any favorites for anybody on
Thursday Night, Right, it's all interdivisional matchups that you go yes, man, really,
even even I don't need to see the Patriots and
the Jets here on Thursday, I go on, man. But
because al Michaels was such a big story last year
about how all here's a guy who is one of
the most legendary broadcasts in the world is having trouble
(02:03):
doing a game getting excited because the games weren't good enough.
Al Michaels is the face of why we have better
games this year on Thursday Night. We got a better slate.
Amazon should give me even more money than the fifteen
million dollars year is getting because because of Al Michaels
and his petulance about not being excited about the games,
they got a better slate this year because it was
(02:24):
front and center. You know, he said the quiet part
out loud. Basically, these games aren't any good. It's hard
for me to be motivated when the matchups aren't that great.
And Amazon's you got to give us more games, we're
up part. Okay, you'll get better games if Al Michaels
doesn't complain, Amazon, den I'm gonna get. But now it
became front and center. Here's the bad games. So now
we give Amazon better games and they're getting better games,
(02:46):
better ratings. Look, what did I tell you last week?
The Thursday Night game was gonna be the most streamed
NFL game this year, highest rated game on Amazon, not
even close, right, And what happened. It was the highest
rated game and most stream game on Amazon all season long.
Michaels is why we have a good slate of games
on Thursday Night. So shout out Al michaels Yeah, I'm
all for you know the old adages, the squeaky wheel
(03:08):
gets the grease and whatever. So basically, because he was
a whiner and didn't want to give one hundred percent
in his job, we got better games. Is really what
that's saying. That's a bad message to send to the
message say, don't show up that your ass. That message
sends the ends justify the means. That's what that message sends. No,
(03:30):
it's a terrible message. It is half ass the job.
There's a name for it. No, it's it's gonna work out.
Was it worth getting good games if we had to
listen to al Michael's complain for a year, Yes, because
we got better games in the end. Okay, yeah, but
but it's it's about him, and it's the message that
sends down we're gonna do the same. We got it,
we got. We might not get better efforts and quality
(03:53):
of food or items or whatever if other people employ
the al Michaelsky philosophy. I hate it here, this sucks.
I can only deal with al Michael's and now Michael's
got us more games. I don't. I don't know how
motivated somebody is when I go to McDonald's or I
go to go to go to my uh auto mechanic,
whatever it is. I hope they're motivated. I hope they
are well. I hope the mechanics like you could deal
(04:14):
with a burger that's get a little bit too much.
Oh my god, Oh my god, sauce here, a little
too much lettuce or whatever. Hey, you'll you'll get past it.
But they didn't put the meat out of my butt.
No life goes on. No breaks in LA means you
hit the person in front of you at nine miles
an hour. That's what no breaks in LA is. Yeah,
(04:35):
but that also means someone going rolling.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
On the ground telling you, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I thought there is a major car insurance this month.
You know what people are doing in LA traffic? Hey,
uh did did we? Did we fix that Chevy for
Jason Smith?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I was up was up to that next? Instead, I
took the other car and I cut the brakes like
you told me too, is we're gonna redo the breaks? No, No,
that was not on that car. Oh we better call
that guy then, we better let him know what good
Why you gotta put the X on your leg before
you go in trying to call that guy. I gotta
make sure they operate on the right one. Shout out,
(05:10):
how Michaels? Who got us? He got us a big
slate of games, you know, and I were going to
celebrate every one of them, how no matter how good
or bad they were. Exit out out of Fresco, Exit
swollen down. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Live
from the tirec dot Com Studios. I'm glad he's coming
back though. Yeah, that's he got us good games man,
he got his good all right, that's great. Now now
you have a good slate going forward. He helped us out.
(05:31):
Shout out al Michael's what if they said, joke's on you,
How Michaels And all of a sudden, it's a bunch
of Jets games or Jaguars games again. Hey, we're replacing
you with Dan Orlovsky and Mina Kimes. They're gonna do
the games now. Good luck, Congratulations. Why why are you
trying to speak things in new existence. I'm just I
was just thinking to people they were naming to the
Christmas broadcast. There's forty seven people, a lot of people. Yeah,
(05:54):
Doctor Joyce, Brothers fight tal I couldn't even make them out.
The pictures had to be so small a fit in
the graphic with Kurt Gowdy. Yeah, we're all here, there's
a question mark out of So today we got what
is the most stunning NFL story, because it's still an
NFL story, that Bill Belichick is officially headed to North
Carolina to coach the Tar Heels five year deal. It's
(06:17):
been rumored the last few days and it comes together
today and it is. Look, it's stunning that the best
NFL head coach we have ever seen, after one year
of being out of work, this is where he's got
to continue his his game. I thought something else that
popped up, and I thought he would he would find
(06:39):
a way to walk away and then at the end
of the season an NFL team would magically hire him
r Because what do we talk about last night that hey,
he's doing this because he's it's a win win situation.
He wants to get back into coaching, right and he
can call the shots here at North Carolina. If something
happens and when it gets out that Belichick wants to
go to North Carolina, this is where NFL teams have
(07:00):
to know, Hey, if we want Belichick in the offseason.
We had to let him know. We got to send
up a smoke signal or something, or we got to
let him know somehow that he's he's our guy, right,
we got to let him know. So they call him
and say, Bill, we keep not doing anything now, but boy,
we're really interested in talking to you. Following week seventeen,
Belichick would say, Hey, that might not be the right
(07:20):
time at North Carolina. I love talking to them. Maybe
sometime in the future, blah blah blah blah blah. And
then two days after the regular season ends, Bill Belichick
is hired by the Cowboys or the Giants or someone else. Right,
So that was gonna be the scenario. But if not,
he knows, after two years away, I'm not getting back in.
I gotta go coach in college football. And that's the
big takeaway is that there was no interest in Belichick
(07:43):
from the NFL because if there was any interest, he
would have stayed. He would have stayed and not. He
doesn't want to go back to college. He wants to
break down Chula's record. When you're coaching at the highest
level of football, you want to continue to do that,
yet do it in New place and show the Patriots
they made a bad call by choosing a future over you.
This is what he would want to do. But he knows,
(08:04):
and the NFL wasn't calling for him, and last year
should have told you. Anybody could have had him, and
nobody hired him. Anybody come here, Bill Belichick, the genius. Yes,
the last few years have been bad, and people remember
the end, and they remember what happened to the Patriots
without Tom Brady, and I'm sure that's what goes forward
in a lot of people's minds, whether it's Arthur Blank
or anybody else that Yeah, man, he really just took
(08:27):
that Patriots franchise all the way down to the studs
the last three years. Yeah, I don't know. So last
year should have been enough. But maybe Belichick thought, I'm
sure he thought, you know, maybe they just need some
time away and they're sick of me, and I need
to do a little bit of rebranding. I need to
make sure people know I'm a fun guy. I'm not
this dour person, and I need to change the optic
(08:49):
of me, because the optic of me right now is Boy,
the last three years I went through quarterbacks. I made
ridiculous decisions about putting defensive coordinators as offensive coordinators and
all kinds of crazy stuff. So maybe I need to
rehabilitate my image a little bit. So I'll spend this year.
I'll go back. I'll go on TV, which you know
I can't stand doing it, but I'll go on. I'll
look like I'm having fun. I'll pretend. I'll pretend for
(09:09):
the kids sakes. I'll go on there, pretend I'm having fun.
And then the end of next year, hey, I will
be more of a of a target. I'll be more wanted.
And there's no way that he takes this job if
he was wanted in this coming off season, whether it
was the Cowboys or the Giants, because he's not gonna
come back for any job, right, He's gonna come back
(09:31):
for a job where he thinks I can win some games.
I can passed on Shula and I can succeed because
if he gets a job back in the NFL, but
he's he gonna get it for two years, probably because
if you don't win for two years, they're gonna say, dude,
you're seventy four. We got to go on to somebody
younger and something else that we're building a program for
so he would have to take a job that he knew, Hey,
I can go win here. None of those teams, none
(09:52):
of those teams that would potentially feel we are a
head coach away from winning, wanted him. There's no way
he takes this job without knowing that the NFL does
not want me. And my time in the NFL right
now is over. Yeah, the Bill Belichick the coach. If
you're just hiring him as the coach, and that's all
you have to worry about. And I say that not
(10:14):
just in his job description, but what reality becomes, then
I have no doubt that you could still have conversations
with NFL teams. The problem is what team that might
think they're on the threshold of doing something great is
going to suddenly push their GM aside. Or in the
case of is Jerry Jones, are we sure that he
(10:37):
ever wants to go down the road of having a
coach that would stand up to him again, that would
look at him when he went to the media after
a game or did his regular radio show, wouldn't show
up in his office saying what the blank are you doing?
I don't think he wants that. Again, He's got a
bunch of yes men, all good coaches, but not guys
(10:58):
that are gonna go and raise hell and potentially cause
problems in Chicago. I joke about the Ryan Poles situation. Okay,
so take him out, just say, right now, there's an
empty slot and chair at GM. Well, Kevin Warren's made
it clear. He's running around yelling I'm the captain now right.
He's not getting anything done with the stadium, which was
what he was allegedly hired to do. He got some
(11:20):
tax breaks way to make some headway there, buddy, big
business tax breaks are important. They're very important. But in
the end, it's moving out a glacial pains. So he
may be forty years dead at this pace by time
they actually get something done. That's long time Dead. Is
a long time politics and the suburbs. Because that's a
(11:43):
great album by the Long Time Dead. That's good. Write
that down, Okay, but all of that, and just keep
going situation by situation because several of the jobs, there's
no chance in hell you're winning anytime soon. Right. You
look at the Giants, that's not a quick fix. You
look at the Jaguars, that's not a quick fix. You
got a couple of component parts that are interesting, but overall, no,
(12:03):
you're not rising up whereas here North Carolina. Whatever the
four hundred page manifesto was that he put forth in
the structure that he's going He's bringing back Lombardi right,
his old guy was part of the helping the coaching
staff in New England, long tenured NFL executive Allegedly the
nil money is going from four million to twenty million
(12:26):
with the snap of a finger, just like that. Who
knows how much I'd take the over when it's all
said down as folks that'll start piling in cash there.
But he gets complete control and he gets to build
a structure and all of that. And for North Carolina,
you're relevant. Look and I'll think you're relevant for a
minute on the football. So this is the other part
(12:47):
of it is that he's got to go into this
thinking this is my last job, right because this isn't
a five year deal. Take him till he's seventy seven
years old. But I am sure there's that twinkling in
the back of his mind that says, if I win
the next couple of years at North Carolina, Jerry Jones
is gonna call me or John Maher is gonna call me,
(13:08):
or or somebody is gonna call me, and then I
can get back to the NFL and spend the last
two or three years of my career breaking Don Shula's
record again. Right now, it doesn't look great, But if
he wins, I'm sure that's in the back of his
mind going if I coach him do it. I still
keep that door opens, however slightly, and maybe someone calls, Okay,
Bill's got his fastball back, we can go. Let's go
(13:30):
hire him. We're two years if we bring him back,
we just feel like we're a season away from winning
a championship. He's what we need. We can see that
we can trust him again. He's got to show that
he's trustworthy, right, that's the thing. He's got to show
that you can trust him building a program and being
in charge of your program again, because he failed miserably
the last four years with the Patriots. So if he
does that, that door is stee keeps that door open
just a little bit. That's what I was alluding to
(13:53):
in terms of the coaching side, and I don't want
him building and assigning roles that GM they're supposed to
be a partnership and so that trust is I think
still going to be a problem. But who's to say
that between now and I don't know, pick an arbitrary
date that there still doesn't occur that an NFL team
(14:15):
comes knocking right because desperation depending on what avails itself.
I mean, we make assumptions on the different coordinators as
to who's going to be the next guy up. Hell now,
his kids. The reason that they're saying he's taking the job.
He wants to keep his kid gainfully employed and pass
the torch to him. All of it. It's fun fodder
(14:38):
and North Carolina coming for your guy. On the recruiting trail,
Belichick versus Fran Brown. Let's go exit Alvada, Fresca at
Swollen Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Tireck
dot Com Studios. We Love Lauren Belichick. Coming up next
with Jason Cole will take a look at Thursday Night

fifteen of the NFL. Keep right here, Jason.
Speaker 2 (15:00):

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh this one song you don't jump eight fall through six,
I'm your back, dam I'm not gonna say it because
you would put it in the first song. You haven't
talked over in years, Well, because I haven't heard this.
He was got all excited. He wait, it's a different match.
Dirty Deed's done, dirt cheap over Christ. I mean good
ones this year. That's pretty good man. That's Bond's the
(15:37):
trove of stuff. That's Bond. Scott going right there, mate, expired.
You know I saw the Creed the yeah, yeah, Creed
do it. But it was actually the lyrics of Rudolph
the Red Nose Reindeer. No, it's good you, Jason guess one?
What wait to hear our next guests walk up? Okay,
I mean look, I was digging bon Scott ac dc there.
But let's get to our guests so we can walk up,
(16:00):
says so jealous. He is a longtime NFL insider, thirty
third team. He's helping the Jets get a GM. Oh.
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole. It is Jason Cole.
But let's hear Bill Belichick do a song first, yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Christmas.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
You made it tough of me hitting the post on
that tysher, but I did the aforementioned. Jason Cole joins
us now the Hotland. What's up, Ja Cole?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Hey, bud it I have I think I have a
tear in my eye after that, I really do. I mean,
that was so great. That was so great.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's a holiday song, man, It's a holiday song to
end all holiday songs.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It really is. There's nothing nothing can really truly it
match that, fellow check and Christmas. Sorry, imagine for Christmas
he gets like wake forest.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
That song right now is number one in the entire
state of North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I can only imagine what is it going to be
when Steve Belichick takes over his head coach. That's what
I want to know.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We're onto Syracuse, We're onto Syracuse. We're on to Syracuse,
We're we're on the Stanford. So I know you've probably
been waiting to weigh in on this. I'm just gonna say,
Bill Belichick, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
J Cole go, I guess it's an overwhelming feeling of
like disappointment. Yeah, I'm not enjoying, Like you can laugh
at this and you can ye know, there's the obvious
one liners about him recruiting kids and dealing with n
I L and yeah, all of that, right, but Bill
(17:56):
Belichick should be in the NFL. He should be coaching,
like Jacksonville should just said, okay, just we'll hire you.
We'll do this and see if they if they can
get the most out of Trevor Lawrence instead of come
bumbling around and not making the same decision because the
people in the buildings say that there's no decision that's
been made yet on Doug Peterson, let alone who might
(18:19):
succeed him if they move on from Doug. Right, It's
like I like Doug, but it's not working, So you know,
like Jacksonville should hire them. The Giants should be talking
to him. I don't understand this. This where it's it's
(18:39):
it's the it's I mean, it's just bottom line belongs
in the NFL, and not just because you can break
down Show's record, but because he's a really great coach,
and nobody that's it's just insanity, it's just stupidity. It's
just people being you know, like I don't know if
(19:03):
they're just afraid of him or not. But the man's
won three hundred and whatever, you know, three hundred and
however many games, like three hundred and thirty three games.
He knows how to win games. And yeah, he had
twenty years of Tom Brady, and and when it didn't
(19:23):
have Brady wasn't as great. I'll take my chances with
him over. You know, obviously Ben Johnson's gonna be number
one on the list, but after that, you know, okay,
Vrabel maybe, but there's nobody else who's better than you know,
who's clearly better than him, after you get best best
(19:46):
those two.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Right, I mean from perspective, does it come down to control?
And even though you're not going to keep Shane or
Balkie in those uh I called him Balkie. Yeah, you're
not going to keep either of those.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Whatever, he should be gone. That's all so, I guess
I don't know what people are afraid of. I mean, yeah,
he didn't draft, you know, great, he drafted well enough
that they you know, and acquired players in whatever manner
that he did over a twenty year period that he
built some really good teams. Again, I just I just
(20:24):
don't get it. I don't I don't understand why he's
left having to take a North Carolina job. And I
get you know, he's doing this partly because he's trying
to make sure his son has a job long term,
is taken care of and all that kind of stuff.
He doesn't belong in North Carolina. He just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Couldn't he have just started out five for his kid instead?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You have started a five twenty nine, don't. I don't
quite get it.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The hut and here's your college fund instead of saying
I got to give you a job, I.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Guess I you know, Steve's Steve is or whatever. I
just I know I know enough stories about Steve that
it's a little dangerous.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But but the thing about this Jake hole is that,
you know, we talked. My overwhelming sense is just it's
embarrassing for me to see that this is the best
coach we've seen in NFL history, and after a year
of being out, he doesn't He's not going to Michigan,
he's not going to Florida, he's not going to Ohio State.
He's going to a mid power five program. I mean,
(21:29):
he's not not even one of the top colleges. Hey,
come here and Bill, it's.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Not even one of the best programs in the ACC.
I mean, how many ACC programs are traditionally better than
than them. I mean, there's a bunch like they're just
a no, it's I mean, I guess it's a fight
for relevance among the people at North Carolina and they're
(21:57):
trying to make sure that they protect their position to
stay in the Vision one over the next three to
five years. But it's just a bad fit. Like it's
just it's not good. I pour all that money that
you're pouring into him into the into getting players and yeah,
and then Michael Lombardy taking over in the general manager
of football. I mean, like that's just the academic traud
(22:19):
waiting to happen.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I mean, come on, what do you see the people
that Belichick brings into coach with him? Where do you see?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Come on, I'm that some great guys.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Wow, don't you want don't you want Nick Saban to
be one of his coordinators? Come on, man, don't you Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Lombardy is like I mean, and he's not even this talented,
but he's like Joe Petcy to you know, to de Niro, right,
like you just hang them on, Like now, now, come on,
Bobby Man, you're the man.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Keep him here. You keep him here, keep him here.
I don't tiny Jews if you know that. Do you
know that, Billy, I haven't done that a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Billy, Yeah, they get your shinebox, might go get it.
Just yeah, I no, I mean I again, there are
all sorts of one liners doing this one easy. It
would be easy, but everybody's done that. And it's just
an overwhelming disappointment that he's not going to be on
(23:24):
an NFL sideline for you know, like give one last
Hurrah and whatever work. Probably not because most things in
this league don't work. But I just think he's going
to be miserable having to handle eighteen to twenty two
year olds toward demanding money when they haven't done anything,
and like having to have a bunch of people follow
(23:46):
those kids around to make sure they don't do something
stupid or when you know they you know, they don't
learn the defense like it just it's going to be
frustrating for him to deal with this. I mean, he
wants to coach adults, and even those adults that he's coaching,
you know, have their moments where they're not really not
much or either. But this is going to be way worse,
(24:08):
and he doesn't. He doesn't deserve this kind of ending.
He deserved to go out in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Well, let's go to an NFL situation that, based on
one report, could be uh well, ticking ticking, ticking towards disaster.
The Philadelphia Eagles. Brandon Graham talking about issues with Brown
and hurts. We had all the hurt Sirianni earlier on.
Are they going to be able to keep this in
the rails down the stretch?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Whid receivers are really easy to take care of, and
I don't understand why they haven't learned this. You got
to throw on the ball two or three times in
the first you know, like ten minutes of the game.
It's really just you just got to throw it at
him and then if they don't catch it, that's their fault.
But you got to throw on the ball and make
sure that they're involved. And I understand, you get Saquon
bark great running him all, but he went and paid
(24:56):
that guy a lot of money. They got to touch
the ball. That's it's that simple. And they don't have
to be eight passes, but it's got to be two
or three early on in the game and make him
feel like they're part of the game, and then they'll
go and they'll work hard for you and do anything neat.
And the other side of this is you're going to
need aj Brown somewhere down the line when people are
(25:16):
against good defenses, when people load up to stop Saquon
or you get into a shootout, which is probably what's
going to happen in Detroit. So you'll get him the ball,
you know, in college, number like they didn't call his
number until they were what two minutes less than the
first half, yet on Sunday, like, that's just that's just idiotic.
That's not even that's not even Jalalen's fault. That's the
(25:40):
entire staff, Like the entire staff should drop a game
plan to say, get him the ball. I remember Marvin
Lewis talking about this with Chad. It's like Chad would
lose his mind if you didn't get him the ball
early on in the game, at least at least once
or twice. Okay, it was like it was like it
was like an infant needing a pacifier. You just had
(26:03):
to get them the ball. And that's really appropriate with
wide receivers, but you just have to and you have
to realize that as egomaniacal as they are, they are
such big time stars. And I was li'steny to Willie
Cologne about this on podcast and he was just great
talking about you know, s Antonio Holmes or Antonio Brown
(26:26):
and yeah, they're divas. And there were problems and you
didn't know what you were going to get every day,
but you're knew in big games like those guys were
going to be such stars that they were going to
sit there and go, I can't be covered, get me
the ball, and I'm going to make a huge play
and We're going to win this game. Right. You have
to have guys like that. You have to have guys
(26:48):
who on big stages like to play big, So make
sure that they're ready for that. And AJ Brown's your
guy now, Davante Davonte's been happy. You know, he's an
Alabama guy. You know, they all, you know, have their
egos destroyed by Saban over a certain amount of time,
so they're ground down. But Age Brown's not that guy.
(27:09):
You gotta still you know, you gotta take care of
his eco.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two, that is
at Jason Cole's No questions.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Cologne went off on the Jets. By the way, he
was just it was.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Like part I think it was Partolo Cologne. What did
he say about him?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Well, yeah, well he was talking about how he's going
to one's going to look like.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Hey, no. The thirty second answer, how close is Mark
Gaston I ever gotten to getting into the hall?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
How close?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Uh is it that sack Ian?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
If he drives to Campton, he'll be close to the
holl of the stuff. And he walked he walked inside. Okay,
that's about as close he's ever going to get. I
mean on the ballot. Come on, Jake Cole.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Is always by appreciated my brast and answered, we'll talk
to you next week. There it goes, There it goes,
Ja Cole, I just felt, you know, if you opened
the door with the Jets, I mean, that was the
obvious one. What no Jets, No, no, not all the
time we talked about the talked about the UFOs last night.
All right, we need a break, we need a break.
It's like Jason driving the Dodger Stadium to see the
(28:18):
World Series trophy. That's his closest he'll ever get drive
for that tour. Man, Hey, I was there in the picture.
I was there when the Dodgers celebrated winning the NLCS.
And my daughter turns to me because we went to
the game six, and she goes, I'm sorry, Dad, I said,
you know, it's okay. I said, but look, isn't this
pretty cool? I mean, you'll get they're celebrating going to
the World Series. It's kind of cool in your face, Yeah,
(28:39):
it kind of is. And I was like, yeah, okay,
like we were, we lose it, We're getting killed the
entire game, like it wasn't happening. And I'm like, okay,
I can appreciate what a great baseball moment it was.
And all the Mets fans I'm sitting around, we're all
hugging each other, going, great season, man, great seasons. No no, no, no, no.
I didn't do that. Only losers do that. I can't.
(28:59):
I can't say the same thing for my dad, but
I know I did.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
When it go we.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Exit up out of Fresca, Exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live the Tire Rank dot
Com Studios. Now to someone who actually stole a beer
from me last week. Wow, we're at work. I was
gonna chug it right after the show. It's Monty Blago.
What's trending.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I was saving you from a warm beer.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That was good. That was good.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
I care about you.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Thank you. That's being a good team.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
That was good.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
He drinks o duels Monci again.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
I was just helping him not have a warm beer.
And nobody likes that. You know, it's the holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I don't live I don't live in England. I don't
want a warm beer.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Yeah, we're not crazy, You're not crazy.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
We got the NBA Cup quarterfinals going on pellas with
those terrible courts, the Golden State Warriors have come alive
in the third quarter, outscoring the Rockets thirty two to
twenty four. So now they're on top seventy three to seventy.
Still early in the fourth quarter. Steph Curry obviously leading
the way for the Warriors. He's got sixteen points for US,
but he's only two of six from.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
The three point line in this one. Whoever wins this,
we'll head to the semifinals. They are going to.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Face OKC on Saturday. The Hawks are headed to the
semi finals of the NBA Cup. They took down the
Knicks one o eight to one hundred. Trey Young led
the way with his own double double, twenty two points
and eleven rebounds. They're not going to face the Milwaukee
Bucks in the semi final on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
In college hoops, we got one game.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Going on right now. It's been all San Diego State.
Twenty third ranks, San Diego State beating California Baptists seventy
three to sixty with about six minutes to go in
the game. Earlier today, number five Kentucky took down Colgate
seventy eight to sixty seven. The big story of the
day is that Bill Belichick will be the new head
football coach at the University of North Carolina, reportedly a
(30:44):
five year deal, but it still needs to be approved
by the board of trustees.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Tamauroe in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
After playing in Frankfurt and Munich, the NFL announced that
they're going to play a game in.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Berlin, Germany. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
NFL executive Troy Vincent said that the Competition Committee will
dis us whether penalties, including face masks, should be subject
to instant replay instant replay review. All of this happened
at today's Winter League meetings, and this is what Roger
Goodell had to say about an extended season.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
We are doing analysis, i would say, but we are
not formalizing any plans at this point. You know, we
learned something when we learn from sixteen to seventeen. If
we do go to eighteen, I'm sure we'll learn something,
but hopefully some of the learnings from the last time
will help us.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
So we'll see if we ever get to eighteen.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
None of the words, we're getting to eighteen, just so
you know we're getting age.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
But when right, we'll see when. Lastly, here back to
the NBA this story.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
ESPN Shams specifically reported earlier today that Jimmy Butler would
be also interested in playing in Golden or excuse me,
he added Phoenix to the list, which was already Golden
State Houston Dallas in case Miami did trade him.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
He added Phoenix to the list.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Well, his agent, Bernard Lee has said that that's not true,
has come out against Shams, saying that it's a lie.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Sure, yeah, because when when Phoenix falls out of the
trade deadline, they're gonna send Kevin Derant to the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Oh that's gonna happen, Yeah, yeah, but he you know,
he said that he gave him a pass yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
But if he doesn't stop putting his.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Name in this bleep mess, uh, he's not worth his
time to acknowledge.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
It's three different tweets. He's real mad, real mad about it. Yes, yeah,
and even puts shams. This is your opportunity to say,
my bad.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Does he roll dice on his logo?
Speaker 6 (32:35):
I think he already did? I think he already did?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I gave back to you, Yes, Frostburgh. The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon Studios owns you guys will Yeah,
I know he kind of does. On Trey Young and
his night tonight coming up next hour, we'll hear from
him rolling dice on the Knicks court after they win.
But straight ahead, if you thought there was some controversy
(32:59):
over Cal Football expanding to twelve teams in the playoff
and the fallout from that way, do we tell you
what's been thrown around there today for the expansion of
another tournament. That's next Jason to Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Is this gonna be Motorhead singing in this one. Yeah
you may have all you won't, ma man, but I
got something you need. Very nice Alex ty shirt, very nice, Tysher.
(33:48):
Can I hear it again without them singing over it?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Before Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike
Carmon live from the tire rack, he was playing it again. Yeah,
we were hearing it. You heard it once before. No,
you were singing over it, but I sang the lyrics.
You know what they are. But I got something you need?
Oh yeah, ty Ser, Can you start it over again?
(34:12):
I don't think I can. It's not dump button repeat.
It's not super legal to be able to do. That
is what I tell you right now. So if you
thought there was controversy surrounding the college football Playoff, we
expanded the twelve teams, and everybody wants to argue about
Alabama and Miami. How about this today from the NCAA
(34:36):
Hoop side of things. NCAA President Charlie Baker is bullish.
I remember bull, Bull is good. Bears are bad? Right
bull and Bear? If you're bullish, it means you're excited
about it could happen. Bear's steak and it's not gonna happen.
And Charlie and Baker were the first guy's name did
good night Saigon? Well, but isn't that the alphabt's apple Baker,
(34:57):
Charlie dog, right, aren't that's how you look? You're Charlie U.
Nca President Charlie Baker is bullish on the prospect of
the NCAA Basketball Tournament expanding to seventy two or seventy
six teams in the near future. Said he's having productive
conversations with TV partners members of the nca Basketball Committee
(35:18):
on expanding from the current sixty eighteen bracket. They would
have to make a decision to move forward by the
end of this year in order to implement the expanded
field for the twenty twenty six tournament. So the next
few months they'll debate, and hey, you go to seventy
two seventy sixty teams, we'll decide for that for twenty
twenty six. Now this is where I say ahead of
the curve, because back in March and I quote tweeted
(35:39):
it today, we talked about how in the next two
years college basketball is going to go to a seventy
two team tournament. It just makes sense because right now
they threw in the extra games. Hey, it's extra TV revenue.
It's kind of a bonus thing for those couple of
nights on Tuesday and Wednesday. But now that the NCAA
has realized, oh wait, there's a market for those games.
(36:00):
People want to see those games. Why are we owning Thursday, Friday,
Saturday Sunday when we can own Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday Sunday and seventy two teams would be the perfect
expansion because you could have many NCAA tournament nights on
Tuesday and Wednesday. You have four games on Tuesday night,
four games on Wednesday night, just like the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
But what but not is money? You know, because you
think about the NCAA tournament starts at noon Eastern time
on Thursday and Friday, and you have games all the
way through the day. These are four games that would
be on in the primetime window. Four games on Tuesday,
four games on Wednesday. You can always then say, if
we want to go to seventy six teams, great, But
to go to seventy two makes sense because you can
sell that as an entire package. It makes sense. You
(36:45):
have an entire week's worth of NCAA tournament coverage. And
this is all because they have found out there is
a market for people watching even if it's copp And
State and Alabama A and M. You know, in the
sixteen sixteen game, then the other game is LSU and
Ohio State. Hey, there's a market for that. And to
have two games a night is great. Four games a
night is even better, and more people will watch. And
(37:07):
you own the entire week of college basketball. Goes back
to what we were talking about with Al Michaels and
Thursday night football is people might not have loved the games,
but they were watching compared to everything else on television,
you want to compare it to other NFL product. Sure
it might have been lower higher on a given week
(37:28):
than you might like, but again you're comparing that to
your own product and ranking it one through two seventy
two as opposed to the rest of commercial television. In
this particular case, we're talking about college buckets. You got
your own e cup man in these Tuesday Wednesday time
of performances, betting handles, it's actually separate from the tournament.
(37:50):
It's just gonna be its own e Cup and then
a winner and then we move on. Well eventually, right,
isn't that invariably what actually happens? Okay, you've got to
win through here to actually play in the other tournament now,
so you might as well look to sell it off
like the ecomp as well. But the point being that
we watch just the bidding wars for any type of
(38:11):
live sporting event across all the networks, across all the
streaming platforms. We joked about it earlier. I couldn't tell
you who was on all the stuff for Christmas Day.
They've got so many people Jet Burt Kreischer's in the
middle of it. I had to blow up the pictures.
You're trying to figure out who the hell like, Oh, okay,
that's who that is? Okay, cool, But it's just that
(38:31):
idea of you're going to be able to sell it
and people are going to watch another game, absolutely another
four games. Hell yeah, give me a full weeks. This
is actually this is a fadea company likes. It's just
going to happen. The world is going this way. They're
not gonna look back and say, oh, nobody didn't want this.
It's letting more teams into the tournament. Hopefully it's letting
(38:51):
more of the power five ish teams in the tournam
because that's who's getting left out, because we love the
mid majors. Now, no mid majors need to play a
better schedule if they want to get in the tournament.
But they love the mid majors. So this serves a
lot of a lot of problems and solves a lot
of problems. And the fact is people can watch, we commit.
It's a whole thing. Now future bidding on the NCAATE term.
You're bidding for a whole week. Oh, now it's gonna
(39:13):
be be more money we're gonna get from Now we're
a week away from the first games of the college
football playoff. But notice how nobody pivoted back to the
twelve team playoffs. Sucks and I don't like it. It's now
seating who got left out? What do you do with
a SMU and whatever leading up until the league to
McMurphy and whatever. But it's never been a would be
(39:36):
four games jerks exit out, a bout of Fresca exit
swalling down The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon, We'll
love more on this story coming up next hour, but
straight ahead, Bill Belichick is heading to North Carolina and
we can answer the biggest question surrounding this story. This

(00:51):
Coming up in twenty minutes, got Jason Cole stopping by
NFL Insider all the latest so we get set for
a big week fifteen in the NFL. And oh, by
the way, let me you know, well, yeah, let me
just shout out a guy who hasn't gotten a shout
out probably in like three years, a shout out. Yeah, yeah,
you want some wacky music underneath something like I could
do shout out to shout out al Michaels. Yeah, okay,
(01:13):
reported today he's going to return to TNF and and
broadcast the games for Amazon next year. Gonna be year
by year the eighties is. Look, I don't want to
be a guy still doing it when I don't have
my fastball, but I still feel really good and I'm
gonna come back next year. Was he just reinvigorated by
the equality of games of late well, And that's the thing.
That's why I shout out al Michaels because last year,
(01:37):
look how disinterested did he say? How awful was it?
And how bad was the slate?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
The NFL has never done any favorites for anybody on
Thursday Night, Right, it's all interdivisional matchups that you go yes, man, really,
even even I don't need to see the Patriots and
the Jets here on Thursday, I go on, man. But
because al Michaels was such a big story last year
about how all here's a guy who is one of
the most legendary broadcasts in the world is having trouble
(02:03):
doing a game getting excited because the games weren't good enough.
Al Michaels is the face of why we have better
games this year on Thursday Night. We got a better slate.
Amazon should give me even more money than the fifteen
million dollars year is getting because because of Al Michaels
and his petulance about not being excited about the games,
they got a better slate this year because it was
(02:24):
front and center. You know, he said the quiet part
out loud. Basically, these games aren't any good. It's hard
for me to be motivated when the matchups aren't that great.
And Amazon's you got to give us more games, we're
up part. Okay, you'll get better games if Al Michaels
doesn't complain, Amazon, den I'm gonna get. But now it
became front and center. Here's the bad games. So now
we give Amazon better games and they're getting better games,
(02:46):
better ratings. Look, what did I tell you last week?
The Thursday Night game was gonna be the most streamed
NFL game this year, highest rated game on Amazon, not
even close, right, And what happened. It was the highest
rated game and most stream game on Amazon all season long.
Michaels is why we have a good slate of games
on Thursday Night. So shout out Al michaels Yeah, I'm
all for you know the old adages, the squeaky wheel
(03:08):
gets the grease and whatever. So basically, because he was
a whiner and didn't want to give one hundred percent
in his job, we got better games. Is really what
that's saying. That's a bad message to send to the
message say, don't show up that your ass. That message
sends the ends justify the means. That's what that message sends. No,
(03:30):
it's a terrible message. It is half ass the job.
There's a name for it. No, it's it's gonna work out.
Was it worth getting good games if we had to
listen to al Michael's complain for a year, Yes, because
we got better games in the end. Okay, yeah, but
but it's it's about him, and it's the message that
sends down we're gonna do the same. We got it,
we got. We might not get better efforts and quality
(03:53):
of food or items or whatever if other people employ
the al Michaelsky philosophy. I hate it here, this sucks.
I can only deal with al Michael's and now Michael's
got us more games. I don't. I don't know how
motivated somebody is when I go to McDonald's or I
go to go to go to my uh auto mechanic,
whatever it is. I hope they're motivated. I hope they
are well. I hope the mechanics like you could deal
(04:14):
with a burger that's get a little bit too much.
Oh my god, Oh my god, sauce here, a little
too much lettuce or whatever. Hey, you'll you'll get past it.
But they didn't put the meat out of my butt.
No life goes on. No breaks in LA means you
hit the person in front of you at nine miles
an hour. That's what no breaks in LA is. Yeah,
(04:35):
but that also means someone going rolling.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
On the ground telling you, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I thought there is a major car insurance this month.
You know what people are doing in LA traffic? Hey,
uh did did we? Did we fix that Chevy for
Jason Smith?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I was up was up to that next? Instead, I
took the other car and I cut the brakes like
you told me too, is we're gonna redo the breaks? No, No,
that was not on that car. Oh we better call
that guy then, we better let him know what good
Why you gotta put the X on your leg before
you go in trying to call that guy. I gotta
make sure they operate on the right one. Shout out,
(05:10):
how Michaels? Who got us? He got us a big
slate of games, you know, and I were going to
celebrate every one of them, how no matter how good
or bad they were. Exit out out of Fresco, Exit
swollen down. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Live
from the tirec dot Com Studios. I'm glad he's coming
back though. Yeah, that's he got us good games man,
he got his good all right, that's great. Now now
you have a good slate going forward. He helped us out.
(05:31):
Shout out al Michael's what if they said, joke's on you,
How Michaels And all of a sudden, it's a bunch
of Jets games or Jaguars games again. Hey, we're replacing
you with Dan Orlovsky and Mina Kimes. They're gonna do
the games now. Good luck, Congratulations. Why why are you
trying to speak things in new existence. I'm just I
was just thinking to people they were naming to the
Christmas broadcast. There's forty seven people, a lot of people. Yeah,
(05:54):
Doctor Joyce, Brothers fight tal I couldn't even make them out.
The pictures had to be so small a fit in
the graphic with Kurt Gowdy. Yeah, we're all here, there's
a question mark out of So today we got what
is the most stunning NFL story, because it's still an
NFL story, that Bill Belichick is officially headed to North
Carolina to coach the Tar Heels five year deal. It's
(06:17):
been rumored the last few days and it comes together
today and it is. Look, it's stunning that the best
NFL head coach we have ever seen, after one year
of being out of work, this is where he's got
to continue his his game. I thought something else that
popped up, and I thought he would he would find
(06:39):
a way to walk away and then at the end
of the season an NFL team would magically hire him
r Because what do we talk about last night that hey,
he's doing this because he's it's a win win situation.
He wants to get back into coaching, right and he
can call the shots here at North Carolina. If something
happens and when it gets out that Belichick wants to
go to North Carolina, this is where NFL teams have
(07:00):
to know, Hey, if we want Belichick in the offseason.
We had to let him know. We got to send
up a smoke signal or something, or we got to
let him know somehow that he's he's our guy, right,
we got to let him know. So they call him
and say, Bill, we keep not doing anything now, but boy,
we're really interested in talking to you. Following week seventeen,
Belichick would say, Hey, that might not be the right
(07:20):
time at North Carolina. I love talking to them. Maybe
sometime in the future, blah blah blah blah blah. And
then two days after the regular season ends, Bill Belichick
is hired by the Cowboys or the Giants or someone else. Right,
So that was gonna be the scenario. But if not,
he knows, after two years away, I'm not getting back in.
I gotta go coach in college football. And that's the
big takeaway is that there was no interest in Belichick
(07:43):
from the NFL because if there was any interest, he
would have stayed. He would have stayed and not. He
doesn't want to go back to college. He wants to
break down Chula's record. When you're coaching at the highest
level of football, you want to continue to do that,
yet do it in New place and show the Patriots
they made a bad call by choosing a future over you.
This is what he would want to do. But he knows,
(08:04):
and the NFL wasn't calling for him, and last year
should have told you. Anybody could have had him, and
nobody hired him. Anybody come here, Bill Belichick, the genius. Yes,
the last few years have been bad, and people remember
the end, and they remember what happened to the Patriots
without Tom Brady, and I'm sure that's what goes forward
in a lot of people's minds, whether it's Arthur Blank
or anybody else that Yeah, man, he really just took
(08:27):
that Patriots franchise all the way down to the studs
the last three years. Yeah, I don't know. So last
year should have been enough. But maybe Belichick thought, I'm
sure he thought, you know, maybe they just need some
time away and they're sick of me, and I need
to do a little bit of rebranding. I need to
make sure people know I'm a fun guy. I'm not
this dour person, and I need to change the optic
(08:49):
of me, because the optic of me right now is Boy,
the last three years I went through quarterbacks. I made
ridiculous decisions about putting defensive coordinators as offensive coordinators and
all kinds of crazy stuff. So maybe I need to
rehabilitate my image a little bit. So I'll spend this year.
I'll go back. I'll go on TV, which you know
I can't stand doing it, but I'll go on. I'll
look like I'm having fun. I'll pretend. I'll pretend for
(09:09):
the kids sakes. I'll go on there, pretend I'm having fun.
And then the end of next year, hey, I will
be more of a of a target. I'll be more wanted.
And there's no way that he takes this job if
he was wanted in this coming off season, whether it
was the Cowboys or the Giants, because he's not gonna
come back for any job, right, He's gonna come back
(09:31):
for a job where he thinks I can win some games.
I can passed on Shula and I can succeed because
if he gets a job back in the NFL, but
he's he gonna get it for two years, probably because
if you don't win for two years, they're gonna say, dude,
you're seventy four. We got to go on to somebody
younger and something else that we're building a program for
so he would have to take a job that he knew, Hey,
I can go win here. None of those teams, none
(09:52):
of those teams that would potentially feel we are a
head coach away from winning, wanted him. There's no way
he takes this job without knowing that the NFL does
not want me. And my time in the NFL right
now is over. Yeah, the Bill Belichick the coach. If
you're just hiring him as the coach, and that's all
you have to worry about. And I say that not
(10:14):
just in his job description, but what reality becomes, then
I have no doubt that you could still have conversations
with NFL teams. The problem is what team that might
think they're on the threshold of doing something great is
going to suddenly push their GM aside. Or in the
case of is Jerry Jones, are we sure that he
(10:37):
ever wants to go down the road of having a
coach that would stand up to him again, that would
look at him when he went to the media after
a game or did his regular radio show, wouldn't show
up in his office saying what the blank are you doing?
I don't think he wants that. Again, He's got a
bunch of yes men, all good coaches, but not guys
(10:58):
that are gonna go and raise hell and potentially cause
problems in Chicago. I joke about the Ryan Poles situation. Okay,
so take him out, just say, right now, there's an
empty slot and chair at GM. Well, Kevin Warren's made
it clear. He's running around yelling I'm the captain now right.
He's not getting anything done with the stadium, which was
what he was allegedly hired to do. He got some
(11:20):
tax breaks way to make some headway there, buddy, big
business tax breaks are important. They're very important. But in
the end, it's moving out a glacial pains. So he
may be forty years dead at this pace by time
they actually get something done. That's long time Dead. Is
a long time politics and the suburbs. Because that's a
(11:43):
great album by the Long Time Dead. That's good. Write
that down, Okay, but all of that, and just keep
going situation by situation because several of the jobs, there's
no chance in hell you're winning anytime soon. Right. You
look at the Giants, that's not a quick fix. You
look at the Jaguars, that's not a quick fix. You
got a couple of component parts that are interesting, but overall, no,
(12:03):
you're not rising up whereas here North Carolina. Whatever the
four hundred page manifesto was that he put forth in
the structure that he's going He's bringing back Lombardi right,
his old guy was part of the helping the coaching
staff in New England, long tenured NFL executive Allegedly the
nil money is going from four million to twenty million
(12:26):
with the snap of a finger, just like that. Who
knows how much I'd take the over when it's all
said down as folks that'll start piling in cash there.
But he gets complete control and he gets to build
a structure and all of that. And for North Carolina,
you're relevant. Look and I'll think you're relevant for a
minute on the football. So this is the other part
(12:47):
of it is that he's got to go into this
thinking this is my last job, right because this isn't
a five year deal. Take him till he's seventy seven
years old. But I am sure there's that twinkling in
the back of his mind that says, if I win
the next couple of years at North Carolina, Jerry Jones
is gonna call me or John Maher is gonna call me,
(13:08):
or or somebody is gonna call me, and then I
can get back to the NFL and spend the last
two or three years of my career breaking Don Shula's
record again. Right now, it doesn't look great, But if
he wins, I'm sure that's in the back of his
mind going if I coach him do it. I still
keep that door opens, however slightly, and maybe someone calls, Okay,
Bill's got his fastball back, we can go. Let's go
(13:30):
hire him. We're two years if we bring him back,
we just feel like we're a season away from winning
a championship. He's what we need. We can see that
we can trust him again. He's got to show that
he's trustworthy, right, that's the thing. He's got to show
that you can trust him building a program and being
in charge of your program again, because he failed miserably
the last four years with the Patriots. So if he
does that, that door is stee keeps that door open
just a little bit. That's what I was alluding to
(13:53):
in terms of the coaching side, and I don't want
him building and assigning roles that GM they're supposed to
be a partnership and so that trust is I think
still going to be a problem. But who's to say
that between now and I don't know, pick an arbitrary
date that there still doesn't occur that an NFL team
(14:15):
comes knocking right because desperation depending on what avails itself.
I mean, we make assumptions on the different coordinators as
to who's going to be the next guy up. Hell now,
his kids. The reason that they're saying he's taking the job.
He wants to keep his kid gainfully employed and pass
the torch to him. All of it. It's fun fodder
(14:38):
and North Carolina coming for your guy. On the recruiting trail,
Belichick versus Fran Brown. Let's go exit Alvada, Fresca at
Swollen Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Tireck
dot Com Studios. We Love Lauren Belichick. Coming up next
with Jason Cole will take a look at Thursday Night
football and beyond as we get into a big Week
fifteen of the NFL. Keep right here, Jason.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh this one song you don't jump eight fall through six,
I'm your back, dam I'm not gonna say it because
you would put it in the first song. You haven't
talked over in years, Well, because I haven't heard this.
He was got all excited. He wait, it's a different match.
Dirty Deed's done, dirt cheap over Christ. I mean good
ones this year. That's pretty good man. That's Bond's the
(15:37):
trove of stuff. That's Bond. Scott going right there, mate, expired.
You know I saw the Creed the yeah, yeah, Creed
do it. But it was actually the lyrics of Rudolph
the Red Nose Reindeer. No, it's good you, Jason guess one?
What wait to hear our next guests walk up? Okay,
I mean look, I was digging bon Scott ac dc there.
But let's get to our guests so we can walk up,
(16:00):
says so jealous. He is a longtime NFL insider, thirty
third team. He's helping the Jets get a GM. Oh.
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole. It is Jason Cole.
But let's hear Bill Belichick do a song first, yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Christmas.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
You made it tough of me hitting the post on
that tysher, but I did the aforementioned. Jason Cole joins
us now the Hotland. What's up, Ja Cole?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Hey, bud it I have I think I have a
tear in my eye after that, I really do. I mean,
that was so great. That was so great.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's a holiday song, man, It's a holiday song to
end all holiday songs.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It really is. There's nothing nothing can really truly it
match that, fellow check and Christmas. Sorry, imagine for Christmas
he gets like wake forest.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
That song right now is number one in the entire
state of North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I can only imagine what is it going to be
when Steve Belichick takes over his head coach. That's what
I want to know.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We're onto Syracuse, We're onto Syracuse. We're on to Syracuse,
We're we're on the Stanford. So I know you've probably
been waiting to weigh in on this. I'm just gonna say,
Bill Belichick, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
J Cole go, I guess it's an overwhelming feeling of
like disappointment. Yeah, I'm not enjoying, Like you can laugh
at this and you can ye know, there's the obvious
one liners about him recruiting kids and dealing with n
I L and yeah, all of that, right, but Bill
(17:56):
Belichick should be in the NFL. He should be coaching,
like Jacksonville should just said, okay, just we'll hire you.
We'll do this and see if they if they can
get the most out of Trevor Lawrence instead of come
bumbling around and not making the same decision because the
people in the buildings say that there's no decision that's
been made yet on Doug Peterson, let alone who might
(18:19):
succeed him if they move on from Doug. Right, It's
like I like Doug, but it's not working, So you know,
like Jacksonville should hire them. The Giants should be talking
to him. I don't understand this. This where it's it's
(18:39):
it's the it's I mean, it's just bottom line belongs
in the NFL, and not just because you can break
down Show's record, but because he's a really great coach,
and nobody that's it's just insanity, it's just stupidity. It's
just people being you know, like I don't know if
(19:03):
they're just afraid of him or not. But the man's
won three hundred and whatever, you know, three hundred and
however many games, like three hundred and thirty three games.
He knows how to win games. And yeah, he had
twenty years of Tom Brady, and and when it didn't
(19:23):
have Brady wasn't as great. I'll take my chances with
him over. You know, obviously Ben Johnson's gonna be number
one on the list, but after that, you know, okay,
Vrabel maybe, but there's nobody else who's better than you know,
who's clearly better than him, after you get best best
(19:46):
those two.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Right, I mean from perspective, does it come down to control?
And even though you're not going to keep Shane or
Balkie in those uh I called him Balkie. Yeah, you're
not going to keep either of those.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Whatever, he should be gone. That's all so, I guess
I don't know what people are afraid of. I mean, yeah,
he didn't draft, you know, great, he drafted well enough
that they you know, and acquired players in whatever manner
that he did over a twenty year period that he
built some really good teams. Again, I just I just
(20:24):
don't get it. I don't I don't understand why he's
left having to take a North Carolina job. And I
get you know, he's doing this partly because he's trying
to make sure his son has a job long term,
is taken care of and all that kind of stuff.
He doesn't belong in North Carolina. He just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Couldn't he have just started out five for his kid instead?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You have started a five twenty nine, don't. I don't
quite get it.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The hut and here's your college fund instead of saying
I got to give you a job, I.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Guess I you know, Steve's Steve is or whatever. I
just I know I know enough stories about Steve that
it's a little dangerous.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But but the thing about this Jake hole is that,
you know, we talked. My overwhelming sense is just it's
embarrassing for me to see that this is the best
coach we've seen in NFL history, and after a year
of being out, he doesn't He's not going to Michigan,
he's not going to Florida, he's not going to Ohio State.
He's going to a mid power five program. I mean,
(21:29):
he's not not even one of the top colleges. Hey,
come here and Bill, it's.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Not even one of the best programs in the ACC.
I mean, how many ACC programs are traditionally better than
than them. I mean, there's a bunch like they're just
a no, it's I mean, I guess it's a fight
for relevance among the people at North Carolina and they're
(21:57):
trying to make sure that they protect their position to
stay in the Vision one over the next three to
five years. But it's just a bad fit. Like it's
just it's not good. I pour all that money that
you're pouring into him into the into getting players and yeah,
and then Michael Lombardy taking over in the general manager
of football. I mean, like that's just the academic traud
(22:19):
waiting to happen.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I mean, come on, what do you see the people
that Belichick brings into coach with him? Where do you see?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Come on, I'm that some great guys.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Wow, don't you want don't you want Nick Saban to
be one of his coordinators? Come on, man, don't you Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Lombardy is like I mean, and he's not even this talented,
but he's like Joe Petcy to you know, to de Niro, right,
like you just hang them on, Like now, now, come on,
Bobby Man, you're the man.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Keep him here. You keep him here, keep him here.
I don't tiny Jews if you know that. Do you
know that, Billy, I haven't done that a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Billy, Yeah, they get your shinebox, might go get it.
Just yeah, I no, I mean I again, there are
all sorts of one liners doing this one easy. It
would be easy, but everybody's done that. And it's just
an overwhelming disappointment that he's not going to be on
(23:24):
an NFL sideline for you know, like give one last
Hurrah and whatever work. Probably not because most things in
this league don't work. But I just think he's going
to be miserable having to handle eighteen to twenty two
year olds toward demanding money when they haven't done anything,
and like having to have a bunch of people follow
(23:46):
those kids around to make sure they don't do something
stupid or when you know they you know, they don't
learn the defense like it just it's going to be
frustrating for him to deal with this. I mean, he
wants to coach adults, and even those adults that he's coaching,
you know, have their moments where they're not really not
much or either. But this is going to be way worse,
(24:08):
and he doesn't. He doesn't deserve this kind of ending.
He deserved to go out in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Well, let's go to an NFL situation that, based on
one report, could be uh well, ticking ticking, ticking towards disaster.
The Philadelphia Eagles. Brandon Graham talking about issues with Brown
and hurts. We had all the hurt Sirianni earlier on.
Are they going to be able to keep this in
the rails down the stretch?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Whid receivers are really easy to take care of, and
I don't understand why they haven't learned this. You got
to throw on the ball two or three times in
the first you know, like ten minutes of the game.
It's really just you just got to throw it at
him and then if they don't catch it, that's their fault.
But you got to throw on the ball and make
sure that they're involved. And I understand, you get Saquon
bark great running him all, but he went and paid
(24:56):
that guy a lot of money. They got to touch
the ball. That's it's that simple. And they don't have
to be eight passes, but it's got to be two
or three early on in the game and make him
feel like they're part of the game, and then they'll
go and they'll work hard for you and do anything neat.
And the other side of this is you're going to
need aj Brown somewhere down the line when people are
(25:16):
against good defenses, when people load up to stop Saquon
or you get into a shootout, which is probably what's
going to happen in Detroit. So you'll get him the ball,
you know, in college, number like they didn't call his
number until they were what two minutes less than the
first half, yet on Sunday, like, that's just that's just idiotic.
That's not even that's not even Jalalen's fault. That's the
(25:40):
entire staff, Like the entire staff should drop a game
plan to say, get him the ball. I remember Marvin
Lewis talking about this with Chad. It's like Chad would
lose his mind if you didn't get him the ball
early on in the game, at least at least once
or twice. Okay, it was like it was like it
was like an infant needing a pacifier. You just had
(26:03):
to get them the ball. And that's really appropriate with
wide receivers, but you just have to and you have
to realize that as egomaniacal as they are, they are
such big time stars. And I was li'steny to Willie
Cologne about this on podcast and he was just great
talking about you know, s Antonio Holmes or Antonio Brown
(26:26):
and yeah, they're divas. And there were problems and you
didn't know what you were going to get every day,
but you're knew in big games like those guys were
going to be such stars that they were going to
sit there and go, I can't be covered, get me
the ball, and I'm going to make a huge play
and We're going to win this game. Right. You have
to have guys like that. You have to have guys
(26:48):
who on big stages like to play big, So make
sure that they're ready for that. And AJ Brown's your
guy now, Davante Davonte's been happy. You know, he's an
Alabama guy. You know, they all, you know, have their
egos destroyed by Saban over a certain amount of time,
so they're ground down. But Age Brown's not that guy.
(27:09):
You gotta still you know, you gotta take care of
his eco.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two, that is
at Jason Cole's No questions.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Cologne went off on the Jets. By the way, he
was just it was.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Like part I think it was Partolo Cologne. What did
he say about him?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Well, yeah, well he was talking about how he's going
to one's going to look like.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Hey, no. The thirty second answer, how close is Mark
Gaston I ever gotten to getting into the hall?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
How close?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Uh is it that sack Ian?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
If he drives to Campton, he'll be close to the
holl of the stuff. And he walked he walked inside. Okay,
that's about as close he's ever going to get. I
mean on the ballot. Come on, Jake Cole.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Is always by appreciated my brast and answered, we'll talk
to you next week. There it goes, There it goes,
Ja Cole, I just felt, you know, if you opened
the door with the Jets, I mean, that was the
obvious one. What no Jets, No, no, not all the
time we talked about the talked about the UFOs last night.
All right, we need a break, we need a break.
It's like Jason driving the Dodger Stadium to see the
(28:18):
World Series trophy. That's his closest he'll ever get drive
for that tour. Man, Hey, I was there in the picture.
I was there when the Dodgers celebrated winning the NLCS.
And my daughter turns to me because we went to
the game six, and she goes, I'm sorry, Dad, I said,
you know, it's okay. I said, but look, isn't this
pretty cool? I mean, you'll get they're celebrating going to
the World Series. It's kind of cool in your face, Yeah,
(28:39):
it kind of is. And I was like, yeah, okay,
like we were, we lose it, We're getting killed the
entire game, like it wasn't happening. And I'm like, okay,
I can appreciate what a great baseball moment it was.
And all the Mets fans I'm sitting around, we're all
hugging each other, going, great season, man, great seasons. No no, no, no, no.
I didn't do that. Only losers do that. I can't.
(28:59):
I can't say the same thing for my dad, but
I know I did.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
When it go we.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Exit up out of Fresca, Exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live the Tire Rank dot
Com Studios. Now to someone who actually stole a beer
from me last week. Wow, we're at work. I was
gonna chug it right after the show. It's Monty Blago.
What's trending.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I was saving you from a warm beer.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That was good. That was good.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
I care about you.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Thank you. That's being a good team.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
That was good.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
He drinks o duels Monci again.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
I was just helping him not have a warm beer.
And nobody likes that. You know, it's the holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I don't live I don't live in England. I don't
want a warm beer.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Yeah, we're not crazy, You're not crazy.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
We got the NBA Cup quarterfinals going on pellas with
those terrible courts, the Golden State Warriors have come alive
in the third quarter, outscoring the Rockets thirty two to
twenty four. So now they're on top seventy three to seventy.
Still early in the fourth quarter. Steph Curry obviously leading
the way for the Warriors. He's got sixteen points for US,
but he's only two of six from.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
The three point line in this one. Whoever wins this,
we'll head to the semifinals. They are going to.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Face OKC on Saturday. The Hawks are headed to the
semi finals of the NBA Cup. They took down the
Knicks one o eight to one hundred. Trey Young led
the way with his own double double, twenty two points
and eleven rebounds. They're not going to face the Milwaukee
Bucks in the semi final on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
In college hoops, we got one game.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Going on right now. It's been all San Diego State.
Twenty third ranks, San Diego State beating California Baptists seventy
three to sixty with about six minutes to go in
the game. Earlier today, number five Kentucky took down Colgate
seventy eight to sixty seven. The big story of the
day is that Bill Belichick will be the new head
football coach at the University of North Carolina, reportedly a
(30:44):
five year deal, but it still needs to be approved
by the board of trustees.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Tamauroe in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
After playing in Frankfurt and Munich, the NFL announced that
they're going to play a game in.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Berlin, Germany. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
NFL executive Troy Vincent said that the Competition Committee will
dis us whether penalties, including face masks, should be subject
to instant replay instant replay review. All of this happened
at today's Winter League meetings, and this is what Roger
Goodell had to say about an extended season.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
We are doing analysis, i would say, but we are
not formalizing any plans at this point. You know, we
learned something when we learn from sixteen to seventeen. If
we do go to eighteen, I'm sure we'll learn something,
but hopefully some of the learnings from the last time
will help us.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
So we'll see if we ever get to eighteen.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
None of the words, we're getting to eighteen, just so
you know we're getting age.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
But when right, we'll see when. Lastly, here back to
the NBA this story.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
ESPN Shams specifically reported earlier today that Jimmy Butler would
be also interested in playing in Golden or excuse me,
he added Phoenix to the list, which was already Golden
State Houston Dallas in case Miami did trade him.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
He added Phoenix to the list.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Well, his agent, Bernard Lee has said that that's not true,
has come out against Shams, saying that it's a lie.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Sure, yeah, because when when Phoenix falls out of the
trade deadline, they're gonna send Kevin Derant to the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Oh that's gonna happen, Yeah, yeah, but he you know,
he said that he gave him a pass yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
But if he doesn't stop putting his.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Name in this bleep mess, uh, he's not worth his
time to acknowledge.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
It's three different tweets. He's real mad, real mad about it. Yes, yeah,
and even puts shams. This is your opportunity to say,
my bad.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Does he roll dice on his logo?
Speaker 6 (32:35):
I think he already did? I think he already did?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I gave back to you, Yes, Frostburgh. The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon Studios owns you guys will Yeah,
I know he kind of does. On Trey Young and
his night tonight coming up next hour, we'll hear from
him rolling dice on the Knicks court after they win.
But straight ahead, if you thought there was some controversy
(32:59):
over Cal Football expanding to twelve teams in the playoff
and the fallout from that way, do we tell you
what's been thrown around there today for the expansion of
another tournament. That's next Jason to Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Is this gonna be Motorhead singing in this one. Yeah
you may have all you won't, ma man, but I
got something you need. Very nice Alex ty shirt, very nice, Tysher.
(33:48):
Can I hear it again without them singing over it?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Before Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike
Carmon live from the tire rack, he was playing it again. Yeah,
we were hearing it. You heard it once before. No,
you were singing over it, but I sang the lyrics.
You know what they are. But I got something you need?
Oh yeah, ty Ser, Can you start it over again?
(34:12):
I don't think I can. It's not dump button repeat.
It's not super legal to be able to do. That
is what I tell you right now. So if you
thought there was controversy surrounding the college football Playoff, we
expanded the twelve teams, and everybody wants to argue about
Alabama and Miami. How about this today from the NCAA
(34:36):
Hoop side of things. NCAA President Charlie Baker is bullish.
I remember bull, Bull is good. Bears are bad? Right
bull and Bear? If you're bullish, it means you're excited
about it could happen. Bear's steak and it's not gonna happen.
And Charlie and Baker were the first guy's name did
good night Saigon? Well, but isn't that the alphabt's apple Baker,
(34:57):
Charlie dog, right, aren't that's how you look? You're Charlie U.
Nca President Charlie Baker is bullish on the prospect of
the NCAA Basketball Tournament expanding to seventy two or seventy
six teams in the near future. Said he's having productive
conversations with TV partners members of the nca Basketball Committee
(35:18):
on expanding from the current sixty eighteen bracket. They would
have to make a decision to move forward by the
end of this year in order to implement the expanded
field for the twenty twenty six tournament. So the next
few months they'll debate, and hey, you go to seventy
two seventy sixty teams, we'll decide for that for twenty
twenty six. Now this is where I say ahead of
the curve, because back in March and I quote tweeted
(35:39):
it today, we talked about how in the next two
years college basketball is going to go to a seventy
two team tournament. It just makes sense because right now
they threw in the extra games. Hey, it's extra TV revenue.
It's kind of a bonus thing for those couple of
nights on Tuesday and Wednesday. But now that the NCAA
has realized, oh wait, there's a market for those games.
(36:00):
People want to see those games. Why are we owning Thursday, Friday,
Saturday Sunday when we can own Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday Sunday and seventy two teams would be the perfect
expansion because you could have many NCAA tournament nights on
Tuesday and Wednesday. You have four games on Tuesday night,
four games on Wednesday night, just like the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
But what but not is money? You know, because you
think about the NCAA tournament starts at noon Eastern time
on Thursday and Friday, and you have games all the
way through the day. These are four games that would
be on in the primetime window. Four games on Tuesday,
four games on Wednesday. You can always then say, if
we want to go to seventy six teams, great, But
to go to seventy two makes sense because you can
sell that as an entire package. It makes sense. You
(36:45):
have an entire week's worth of NCAA tournament coverage. And
this is all because they have found out there is
a market for people watching even if it's copp And
State and Alabama A and M. You know, in the
sixteen sixteen game, then the other game is LSU and
Ohio State. Hey, there's a market for that. And to
have two games a night is great. Four games a
night is even better, and more people will watch. And
(37:07):
you own the entire week of college basketball. Goes back
to what we were talking about with Al Michaels and
Thursday night football is people might not have loved the games,
but they were watching compared to everything else on television,
you want to compare it to other NFL product. Sure
it might have been lower higher on a given week
(37:28):
than you might like, but again you're comparing that to
your own product and ranking it one through two seventy
two as opposed to the rest of commercial television. In
this particular case, we're talking about college buckets. You got
your own e cup man in these Tuesday Wednesday time
of performances, betting handles, it's actually separate from the tournament.
(37:50):
It's just gonna be its own e Cup and then
a winner and then we move on. Well eventually, right,
isn't that invariably what actually happens? Okay, you've got to
win through here to actually play in the other tournament now,
so you might as well look to sell it off
like the ecomp as well. But the point being that
we watch just the bidding wars for any type of
(38:11):
live sporting event across all the networks, across all the
streaming platforms. We joked about it earlier. I couldn't tell
you who was on all the stuff for Christmas Day.
They've got so many people Jet Burt Kreischer's in the
middle of it. I had to blow up the pictures.
You're trying to figure out who the hell like, Oh, okay,
that's who that is? Okay, cool, But it's just that
(38:31):
idea of you're going to be able to sell it
and people are going to watch another game, absolutely another
four games. Hell yeah, give me a full weeks. This
is actually this is a fadea company likes. It's just
going to happen. The world is going this way. They're
not gonna look back and say, oh, nobody didn't want this.
It's letting more teams into the tournament. Hopefully it's letting
(38:51):
more of the power five ish teams in the tournam
because that's who's getting left out, because we love the
mid majors. Now, no mid majors need to play a
better schedule if they want to get in the tournament.
But they love the mid majors. So this serves a
lot of a lot of problems and solves a lot
of problems. And the fact is people can watch, we commit.
It's a whole thing. Now future bidding on the NCAATE term.
You're bidding for a whole week. Oh, now it's gonna
(39:13):
be be more money we're gonna get from Now we're
a week away from the first games of the college
football playoff. But notice how nobody pivoted back to the
twelve team playoffs. Sucks and I don't like it. It's now
seating who got left out? What do you do with
a SMU and whatever leading up until the league to
McMurphy and whatever. But it's never been a would be

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating.

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
