Speaker 1 (00:37):
Fox Sports Radio Greetings, Happy Wednesday, Welcome inside the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well dressed hoboat.

Tire rack dot Com is the way tire buying should
be back. After a couple of days sick spending time
with his baseball card collection, it's Mike Harmon, back in
the saddle. Mike, how you feeling but lots of sleep?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
As the music started to play, I'm like, is he
really gonna wait until his Knicks games goes final?

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Before he opens his mouth, like there's a time out.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
The clock stops, like all right, should I just start talking?

Speaker 5 (01:21):
Like what do we want to do here?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Nick?

Speaker 5 (01:23):
No, tell you why? Man?

Speaker 4 (01:24):
It's uh really really odd a couple of days of
doing nothing but sleeping and staring at the wall when
you're not sleeping. It's very very odd existence. So you
you're like violation bad.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
What do they call it? Like like when people, uh
you raw dog in it? Right, Like it's when you
are when you just staying anything for that. But that's
the whole thing. People do that like on long trips,
like they go on on buses and trains and planes
and stuff when they there's no sensory stuff. Well nobody's
doing that on public transportation. But no, but it's it's

(01:59):
it's it's not what you think. It's a different things.
It's a different thing. That's what they call it.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
What does Urban Dictionary say?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I was I was no, no, no, no, no, it's
it's a different things. It's a new trend that according
to here on Google, that's blowing up on the social
media platform, particularly among males, requiring people to sit through
long haul distances with zero distractions or forms of entertainment.
This means no phones, movies, books, or any sleep, even
food or water. So she's got to sit and stare ahead,

(02:26):
or kind of what I do after every Jets game.
I just sit and stare ahead and go there's nothing
I can What am I doing? What am I doing?

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well? The sounds of silence immediately just starts playing in
your head.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, but you brought up the Knicks.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Next, Yo, go New York, Go New York, Mike, go
New York, Go New York.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Co The Knicks in the Marquee Game of the Night
beat the Nuggets one twenty two to one twelve. Now
I don't have it right in front of me, but
this has to be Nikola Jokic's worst game of the year.
Seventeen six and six on six to fifteen shooting, and
Jalen Brunson goes no in the second half. He finishes
with thirteen and fifteen assists. So all the Knicks probably

(03:04):
did no.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
No, No.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
The Knicks are going along pretty well right now, and
you know, then there's a big game tonight and suddenly, okay,
maybe now everybody is kind of coming around to the
fact that the starters can play forty eight minutes a night,
and it's all good, and MA can make it all
the way through the NBA Finals playing five guys basically
because that's the Knicks two.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, I think you've got the Tom Thibodeau experiment of
can I get this to the All Star Break?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
And then I've got a week to really plan out
Verney carefully how we have to operate from there.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Meanwhile begging maybe someone shows up via trade and we
get into all those chatter spots about the different aprons
and moneys being exchanged.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
You did get twenty six minutes from precious, So I
mean you got to a sixth man and McBride had
twenty two minutes.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Okay, so a seven man rotation.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
But yeah, is that sustainable once we actually get to,
you know, to the season that matters, the second season,
because all of this is preliminary, right, This is great.
It's an eighty two game preamble to what really matters
and whether these guys will still be able to not
trip over their tongues at that point. But it was
a nice efport tonight. Look, look, I really like the

(04:17):
closing shot though, Jason, Just real quick as they do
the a we're gonna go now to Golden State in
Oklahoma City. Here's the final shots, and it was every
shot that Nikola Jokic made.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
It's like, where's the nine misses?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, we we want to show a superstar doing good things.
We don't want to show him missing because you know
the guy is you know, three time MVP. We only
want to do that.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Wow, he is kind of a big deal.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
But ask me why I don't care about the next
start is playing all these minutes because.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
The show is tonight.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
No, no, no, I don't care because Adam Silver is coming
to the rescue of everybody in the NBA. Uh. This
is a great like you want to hear what desperation
sounds like? Like, boy, wait, what does desperation sound like? It's
going to be this big he headline that's really blown
up in the last couple of hours coming from NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver, who's on the Dan Patrick Show earlier

(05:06):
today and talked about the future because you know, here
we are, NBA is suffering with lower ratings, and you
can't continue to suffer through lower ratings. You got to
find a way to make that reverse. And he floated
out this idea to potentially help games, help them be
broadcasted a little bit better, help a smaller window, help

(05:26):
the players be able to play more minutes. He's got
an idea that's really made to help the Knicks. I mean,
it's really made to but it will help everybody else too,
because Adam Silver wants the games shorter.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
Something else that I'm a fan of, and I'm probably
in a minority as we get more involved in global basketball.
The NBA is the only league that plays forty eight minutes,
and I am a fan of four ten minute quarters.
I'm not sure that many others are. I mean, putting
inside what it means for records and things like that,

(06:01):
I think that a two hour format for a game
is more consistent with sort of modern television habits. I
don't think people in arenas aren't asking us to shorten
the game, but I think as a television program being
two hours, it's Olympic Basketball, It's being is two hours,
but it's such a dramatic change to the game. I mean,
I think something like that would have to be talked
more about over time.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Could you just hear the desperation out of Adam Silver's voice?
You know what I like? Is shorter games. I like
ten minute quarters instead of twelve minute quarters, and we
play forty minutes tonight. You know this again from the
Dan Patrick Show earlier today, Like, I know the NBA
needs to make change and actually talk to Michael Malone
and Tom Thibodau about this before the game tonight, and

(06:44):
Tim said, yeah, I don't know that I want to
do that. I don't think that's a great idea. I
don't want all the big records to not be able
to be chased across the NBA. And Malone said, hey, look,
I hope we don't become Barnum and Bailey or do
whatever we have to do to keep viewership.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
There.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
There you go, let that bet. This is the Greatest
show Boom. It's everything you ever want.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
You just picture him like dressed like Hugh Jackman from
the beginning of Greatest Showman. Adam Silvery is like nine
feet tall with the big top hats. Boom boom boom
boom boom boom.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
This is look. I'm all for for changes, right, and
I've talked about having big change and having it having
it effect. What really the big problem is, and this
is players not being able to play as many games. Uh,
they're sitting out back to backs. Less games is really gutsy.
But now you have teams that have to say we're
okay with less revenue. And here's Adam Silver saying, hey,

(07:42):
how about ten minute quarters? Would that? Would that allow
you guys to play more, play more minutes with the stars,
play more if they're only forty minute games, at are
forty eight minutes? That way, in said having to play
thirty eight minutes a game, you could play like thirty
three minutes a game. Would that get you going? Like
the NBA has gotten to the point where hey, let's
throw stuff up against the wall and see what sticks.

(08:02):
I get it when it's the All Star Game, because
you have to. That's what I have to do. Every
every league does the same thing every also game. I'm exhausted.
What do we do next year? Give me five minutes
to rest, all right, then we'll figure out next year.
But like the NBA is at that point where it's, well,
we gotta throw things up and see what sticks. Because
all of the big things that would help with this
are all two big ideas that that are not gonna

(08:22):
be able to be gone through, be able to put
through like, yeah, you are the owners gonna agree to
ten less games a year, so there's no back to backs, No,
forget it, not gonna happen, right, Not not gonna go
that way. Our players going to agree to play all
the time, and teams are gonna hold them responsible to play. Hey,
you're healthy, you can play it. Or are they gonna
say you're dinged up or holding out? We got three
games and four nights or three games and five nights,

(08:43):
we're gonna hold you out tonight. This is not gonna happen, right.
I mean, the NBA already is a pretty good television product.
I always said college basketball was the best models. It
was just a little bit over two hours. Even if
you had a knock down, drag out, two overtime game,
college basketball still get you in and out in two
and a half hours. The average NBA game is two
hours and fifteen minutes. It's pretty good length. It's not

(09:04):
like doesn't need to be cut for any reason. There's
there's not people who are saying, oh, I'd love to
watch that Nick's Nuggets game tonight, but it's just it's
just way too long. It's it's just it's just way
way too long. I mean it's two hours and fifteen minutes. Now,
people watch a movie that's two hours and fifteen minutes.
People watch two hours of fifteen minutes of television to night. Like,
it's not that these games are creeping up towards three
hours and all right, people are tuning in it's seven

(09:25):
o'clock and they're going to bed because it's ten or
ten thirty. Like if you want to start the games
earlier and say, hey, we're gonna start you know, six
fifty or six forty five, Okay, that I could be
down with, all right, you want to start the games earlier.
But when I hear Adam Silver say like, hey, how
about let's dipe the quarters, I'm just saying, what what
are we doing?

Speaker 8 (09:41):
Like?

Speaker 5 (09:41):
What? What? How?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
How desperate is the NBA and we're we we don't
really know what's gonna work. We know that we've kind
of maxed out with all of our with all of
our product here in the United States, So we're just
gonna find a way to make it better. We're gonna
find a way. It's gonna It's like if this idea
doesn't work at happy hour with free drinks or half
price off, these drinks next week will be half price
off these other drinks, and it will be you know,
women drink free from five to six, then men drink

(10:04):
free from six to seven. Like it's always gonna be something.
And that's where the NBA is at right now. I
can feel the desperation Mike Carmen. I can feel it
coming off of Adam silver.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Well, the idea that you want to, Hey, you know what,
the rest of the world does it this way, It's
like a minute's right for America.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Damn it.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
You're the NBA. You're the leaders in this space. Everybody's
envious of what you are. It's not Hey, you went
to the US to play in the NBA as a
last resort. You're the league of record of the legends,
and what are you doing. You're saying, we're gonna cut
sixteen percent of your playing time. So now the average

(10:42):
star is gonna play what twenty eight minutes a game.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
That'll be good for the fans showing up in the arenas.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
And if a game goes to two hours fifteen minutes,
guess what, Jason, it means it's competitive.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Will I will tell you this. There are changes that
need to be You need to move on with time, right,
you need to move on. And really, one of the
worst things you can always say is that, well they've
always done it this way. Right, That's always the one
thing in any kind of business where hey, we could
really streamline things and make things better. Why do we
do it this way. Oh, We've always done it that way. Yeah,

(11:15):
just because the rest of the world plays this way.
Like I feel like the NBA is saying, Hey, at
some point we have to just say we have to
cater to the to the overseas and outside of the
United States because we don't have any more room for growth. Right.
We had a great amount of growth over the course
of the past twenty five thirty years. We went from
the from the Magic and Larry era, which brought the
NBA into into the modern era of basketball, into Jordan,

(11:38):
into Lebron and Kobe, and now we're into the sort
of Yannice Wemby era where the guys are much more
global and they're from other countries. So maybe this is
the way. Like I almost I almost want to want
to say that Adam silver is just is doing this
and putting stuff out there because maybe somebody's gonna say,

(12:00):
I like it, but maybe it's gonna be something that hey,
international markets gonna say, well, we like this now, maybe
now we'd like to buy into the NBA. Maybe our
team would like to buy its way in to the
NBA and for for fifteen billion dollars, we want to
buy a team that comes in as a quote expansion team.

(12:20):
But we've been playing in Greece or we've been playing
here and we want we want to buy it and
do this. Like That's why I feel like that's where
the NBA has to head. And ideas like this for
Adam Silver just hastening that.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah, I mean, whenever you look at the the inroads,
and certainly the NBA has been very at the forefront
of the INTERNATIONALIZA should go back to when Jerry Krause
was getting ridiculed for spending as all his time overseas,
right when he was with the Bulls and he found
Tony Kokoach and you know, look at what this guy's
record is like a it doesn't matter, and then he

(12:53):
comes to the NBA and why I'll never.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Get the you know, the love that maybe you should
have instrumental part of what the Bulls were during his
tenure there, all of fame or all of those things,
and then we get into international scouting that grew out
of that with the Spurs had always.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Done certainly not to dismiss it to your idea of, hey,
we look at expansion in a global standpoint. You know,
we've always focused I think more on the NFL and
what would happen, you know with Douvo and Jacksonville, maybe
go into the UK that maybe there is this in

(13:32):
roads and it would be just that huge influx.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Of cash exit. How about a Fresco exit swollen Dome.

(13:54):
of let's just throw it at the wall and see
what sticks, because you never never know.

Speaker 9 (13:59):
I don't know why you and Mike are so mad
about it. Why this is the only way the Knicks
and Bulls get in the playoffs matter?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
This helps then the Knicks. He will only have to
play their five guys, doesn't matter. I mean, hey, they're averaging,
All starters are averaging, you know, forty seven and a
half minutes a night. Now they have to play thirty.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
That's it, right, This is like rigging things for the Knicks.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
So we need to investigate Park Avenue and what Adam
Silver's up to.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Here, and we all know it's clearly up to Lebron. Sure, sure, yeah,
well let's la let the Lakers get a center first,
and then we can and then Lebron can worry about
this and let him worry about what what's when Browny
is actually going to play next, then we can worry
about other stuff. Uh So, we got more NBA on
the way. But you want a great, big NFL hot

(14:43):
take coming up next? Boy, who's performing well and who
is not? What quarterbacks are playing well at the Senior Bowl.

You'll find today's show and a best of version posted
right after we get off the air. Well, we have
a super Bowl dilemma coming your way in a couple
of minutes. But if you were paying attention earlier today, now,
as we get ready for the postseason for a college well, yes,
they're still playing college football game right. We're gonna play

(16:51):
all the way until the draft. The Senior Bowl is
getting set and everybody's getting their first looks at the
quarterbacks now. Shadura Sanders, very high publicized said earlier this
week I'm not gonna play. You know, he'll meet talk
with people. He already had an interview with the Giants,
I believe, had a what's called a soft interview with
the Giants, who have one of the top picks in
the draft. But today was more for let's see who's

(17:14):
standing out. And when I woke up today and I
saw Jalen Road trending, I said, Okay, this is either
he looks incredibly good or wow, he looks awful. And
it turned out to be the latter. At one point,
he missed like eight passes in a row. There was
a lot of video of him missing receivers who are open,
the ball just not getting delivered.

Speaker 6 (17:34):
Well.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
No, we had some highlights as well, but you know,
when you're throwing against one on one and you know,
or in you know, five on five or seven on
seven situations, you gotta be a little accurate here. This
is kind of just like, hey, we want to show
you I'm showing off my arm skills a little bit.
And he really really struggled. And I'll tell you what,
And I said this a couple of weeks ago, and

(17:55):
I'll continue to go with it now. Not just because
he had a big day today, and now everybody's kind
of jumping on board with it. But I told you
a few weeks ago, the third quarterback off the board
is going to be Kyle McCord. It's still gonna go Shador, Sanders,
and cam Ward in some order near the top of
the draft. Maybe not one two anymore, but they're gonna
go at the top of the draft. Kyle McCord is

(18:16):
going to be the next guy. He wouldn't have stopped
his lawsuit to come back to Syracuse for one more
year if he didn't know, Hey, I can jump in
here and I can get taken pretty high. And now
if I came back and I could maybe improve my
draft stock a little bit. But right now, this is
not a very impressive group of quarterbacks. And you're looking
to get to the front of that group that teams
are going to take in the second round, right you

(18:37):
want to be to the front. And this group right
now includes McCord and Quinn Ewers and Jaln Milroe and
Jackson Dart And you want to get there and be
one of those guys. And so far, McCord's the guy
that's standing out. Yes, he had a big day, but
I knew he'd have a big day because he does
all the fundamental things really really well. He anticipates, he
knows how to deliver the ball. He's got a strong
enough arm. This is one of those quarterbacks you make

(18:59):
in the lab that check all the boxes. Now, does
he have the physical gifts of other quarterbacks.

Speaker 9 (19:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Does he have the absolute canon of an arm like
other quarterbacks have, No, which I get. These are things
that really wow scouts. But when you're looking at, hey,
who can be that quarterback we take in the second round,
a third round that maybe turns into our Russell Wilson,
McCord's at the top of that list. I'm telling you
he's going to be the third quarterback that comes off
the board, after cam Ward, after Shador Sanders, probably somewhere

(19:25):
in the second round. Because while we're not going to
see the quarterbacks in the first round, there will be
a push after Day one to say, Okay, these quarterbacks
are here, Let's do what we can to move up.
Let's make sure we get our guy now. We don't
want to miss one of these guys that could be
our version of Russell Wilson.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
You're funny.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
I don't buy it for a second that any of
these guys that you mentioned, those three Dart mill Row
or your guy McCord make it out of day one.
Just the way the draft works anymore, the desperation just
it wafts through the air.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
I mean, we have it all.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
If the Jets took Kyle McCord and the fre I'd
be the happiest guy in the way you can Kyle McCord.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
But like, what are we doing now?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
It's like, hey, Pittsburgh, well we could have either Russell
Wilson or Justin Fields. Okay, the Raiders, Hey, are you
gonna go and try to reunite with Russell Wilson? Like
this is what the conversation we're having, which means the
young guys with a little bit of upside are going
to be there and roll up earlier than quote expected

(20:28):
because whenever we start having the you know these guys
are all rising. That means you guys all charted it
wrong or you rope adop to everybody. So you'd have
a great column to write once these guys showed up
on a practice field.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Well, well, the hop but the whole thing is that
you know, yes, there are there are better quarterback classes
than others. Some years they're great, some years they're not.
But teams still need quarterbacks. Correct, But they're gonna but
teams are gonna look at it like this. They're gonna say, oh, okay,
so here's all these guys, and when it comes down
to it, right, they'll have all their research on everybody,
and they're gonna say yeah. But in the end, a
quarterback is a gut field because it is right. You

(21:00):
can do all the research on a quarterback you want,
but a quarterback's gotta be a gut feel. Now, are
you gonna go crazy? Try to get up what we
really like? Really at offensive tackle? We love this kid
in the first round. He could be a pro bowler
for the next ten years. When there's a lot of
guys out there, there's a lot of quarterbacks and they're
all kind of the same. Now, okay, you know McCord
or dark you guys, why are we going crazy to
get one? When when the run starts, that's when we'll

(21:23):
start that that's we'll think about taking our quarterback. It's
almost like a fantasy draft where you go through the
first five rounds and suddenly somebody takes a defense and
you're like, oh, I gotta get my defense, and then
like five defenses going in a row. You're like, what
are you doing? It's a fifth round. Well, somebody took
the defense. Why I take a defense. I had take
a defense. I had take a defense, take a deep,
take a devent. But that's still you get that that
strategy with the NFL draft, Well why am I moving

(21:45):
up for this guy? When eh, there there's all of
the they're kind of all the same. I could take
dart Or, I could take Viewers, I could take mill Row,
I could take McCort, I could take all these guys,
and you know they're gonna need a year to develop
anyway before they wind up getting this getting the star job.
So that's kind of how they look at it. And
I look, when it comes down to it, the guy
they're gonna have rated the first guy. The team's gonna say, okay,

(22:06):
we're making that push, which probably which I thought. I'm
pretty sure it's gonna be early in the second round,
because you don't you take a guy too late and
suddenly have maybe you know, you don't have the confidence
in him, and who knows if he even gets his
career off the ground. But you take a guy in
the second round and he's got more of a chance
to start, because it almost feels like you're investing the
first round pick. So I'll say a little bit later
where maybe the beginning of the second round, when when

(22:28):
teams have had time, they have a night to decompress,
and you think about the guys that are out there
and how the first round goes. All right, this is
where the quarterbacks go. And I say, within the first
five or six picks of the second round, the first
quarterback will go, and we'll see three or four quarterbacks
in the second round.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Now we're yelling Bones and I'm yelling Domino.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
It's just that idea that you don't want to be
left at the altar, and you certainly don't want to
have happen. What has just so many teams the last
few years, perhaps not you know, this year or or last,
to just go to the recency bias of guys actually
mostly staying healthy on your best teams.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Right, We've had an incredible run of.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Luck with quarterback health these last couple of years of
guys making it into the playoffs and championship rounds. But
you know, let's not tempt fate, because historic history would
tell you you've seen a lot of great teams derailed
because you didn't have an adequate backup or succession plan
in place.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
I mean, look at all.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Those great team quarterbacks of the two thousands that you
never had a guy behind him, you know, Phil Rivers
or Ben Roethlisberger or some of those others that were
drafted in Eli Manning for that matter.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Now, those guys didn't.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Lose a lot of games, but were you necessarily prepared
if they did.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
You want the years of living dangerously, especially if you're
a team that's pretty well equipped to go and win.
And that's the luxury of those teams drafting at the
back end of the first round. Maybe you got someone
that wants to come trade up. Maybe you just sit
and lie and wait. But yeah, reading the reports and
looking at the video clips that have come out, you know,

(24:12):
for Milroe, it depends on who the author is. You
want to talk about a guy where it's very clear
whether you like or don't like him, whether he slighted
you for an autograph at some point, refuse the one
on one. I don't know where I get the montage
of here's all the bad throws from today, and then
you'll have someone else going, hey, check out these two

(24:34):
deep balls that he hit. Look at the timing and
the precision here. Likewise, Jackson Dark going back to yesterday, Right,
everything going.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Out of today's efforts.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Right, we're finishing Wednesday, Jason Jackson Dark, biggest mover, biggest
advancer coming out of these Senior Bowl practices. Yesterday I
had people writing going, Wow, he's showing why he should
He should have just gone back to school.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
He should have gone he should have done this.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
And with Kylum McCord just back to your original point
about the lawsuits, I think he looked at where he
would have been on the docket. I mean, that's like
going to the judge that has fifty five files on
his desk you ain't getting seen before.

Speaker 5 (25:14):
Before the season starts.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Well, and look, and I'm at the player, I'm like, wow, Okay,
So if McCord is the best quarterback at the Senior Bowl,
and it's not close according to a couple of NFL analysts,
and Lecquin Allen is the best running back and now
maybe he's played himself way up in the draft, and
Jackson Meeks is the best receiver. I'm like, now, I'm
sad because I feel like here because we underachieved this year.
We should should have been we should have won more game,

(25:37):
should and twin defeated. We got the best quarterback, running back,
and wide receiver at the Senior Bowl. The hell do
we lose three?

Speaker 9 (25:43):
How the hell they all decided to play as soon
as they were done with How do we lose the
Stanford not?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
How do we lose the Boston College? Come on, man,
how did this happen?

Speaker 4 (25:51):
We need to get that one on one with you
and fran Brown loaded up. Now, hey, I'm not giving
another dying to this university unless.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
it is moncy with everything happening in social media and
in the world of sports tonight, because she is frantically
searching Kawhi Leonard every five seconds for updates. Mansey, what
do you got for us? You're right, I'm making sure
that he's not dead.

Speaker 8 (26:17):
You know what I mean, Like if if he breathes funny,
I'm worried that it's another knee issue.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Kawhi, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
So you're right lean like a greyhound.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Now look at it lean, I know, and it looks
like a twenty one year old lebroncast.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
His head is still the same size. He looks like
a bobblehead.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Listen, listen, all right, leave the Kawhi Leonard and his
bobblehead miss alone.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Okay, talking about Jason. Okay, Hey, hey, okay, all right, fine.
I was thinking more Pez dispenser, but I'll take bobble
let That's fine, more Pez dispenser. Able put my head
up and pull a nice big candy out and need it.
That'd be great.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
That would be great. Actually in a little bit creepy,
but I would be into it. The Clippers did defeat
the Spurs one.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Searching on the tell me what you're searching?

Speaker 8 (27:01):
Way Hi twenty seven points, six rebounds, seven assists. I
have never seen Victor one Banyama get a little chippy
or a little upset, but.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
He did in this game.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:15):
He and a Viza Zubots got a little a little
into it. Vita Zubats kind of shoved him on a
fast break and he falls. He got up real quick
and tried to step up to Zubats. So I was like, okay, Victor,
I didn't know you had that in you twenty three
points and twelve rebounds for Victor one Banyama in the
loss the Mavericks edge. The Pelicans won thirty seven to

(27:35):
one thirty six, and Zion Williamson played, but they lost
the end of it twenty nine points. Though the seventy
six ers beat the Kings one seventeen to one oh four.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
The Knicks have won five in a row.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
They defeated the Nuggets one seventeen to one oh four,
all starters in double digits, but Jalen Brunson thirty points
and fifteen assists. Jonovan Mitchell dropped thirty four points as
the Cavaliers outscored the Heat won twenty six to one
oh six, and the Celtics had a one twenty two
to one ten win over the Bulls. Two games going on.
Still in the NBA, the Suns are on top of
the Timberwolves seventy two to seventy halfway through the third quarter.

(28:06):
Kevin Durant twenty points six assists late in the first quarter,
the Thunder on top of the Warriors twenty three to fourteen.
In men's college hoops, number four Alabama beating number fourteen
Mississippi State sixty three to sixty with about twelve minutes
to go in the game. WNBA star Kaitlin Clark has
declined an invitation to take part in the NBA's special

(28:26):
three Point Contest during All Star Weekend. She wants to
make her three point shootout debut this summer in Indianapolis
during the WNBA All Star festivities. In the NFL, the
Jets have agreed to terms with former Cardinals head coach
Steve Wilks to be their new defensive coordinator, with the
plan for him not new head coach Aaron Glenn to
call plays. And lastly, here multiple reports some of the

(28:48):
ads that are going to be airing during Super Bowl
fifty nine on Fox are gonna cost eight million dollars
eight billion.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah. I actually I looked up like what it was
when this Super Bowl first started. I'm like, oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
What is it.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
When it first started, it was fifty dollars. Fifty dollars
for fifteen seconds. Yeah, they're now eight million, yeah, eight million.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
For probably thirty second, twenty seven seconds.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah. Yeah. The editing that is done by by these no,
we got to cut that eight frames out here and
get yeah, eight frames earlier here get another thirty seconds
by doing that.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Yes, oh yeah, but you paid eight million.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
And it's not like they're giving you a production costs
or the actors or the copy or anything.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
No, no, now you got you're added.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Costs on top of it.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
I just I just hope that they they the commercials
are enough where they don't have to cut so much
out that I don't know what the commercial is for.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's like I watched this McConaughey commercial where he's doing Ditka.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah, I don't know what it's for. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I mean the Bear Bears. I don't know what it's
for about bears, And it's.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Not about the Bears.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
No, I'm leaving the whole time, like it's not Halloween.
He's dressed up as Ditka and then there's a like
an uber e thing.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
I'm like, what is he? What is this commercial? Well,
he's doing all that you eat sads, so it wasn't clear.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
I'm with you, yeah, but always doing you sanding for
the mirror going the bears, Bears, Bears, No, the Bears, No, No,
not bears. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Bears
Bears Bears Bears commercial for I don't know, I don't
even know.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I have to answer your question. It's thirty second commercial
for eight million.

Speaker 8 (30:22):
No right, I'm saying that they're probably it's gonna be
like twenty seven so they can make more time for
more commercials.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's gonna get their money back.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
Yeah they're not.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah you're not.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
You're seeing the point I'm trying to say, trying to
squeeze as much as they can out of the lemon. Here,
justin just go every time, just go to commercial. Ah,
there it comes a flag. Let's see who this flag
is gonna be on. Hey, mahomes, let's play one of
those state farm commercials. Let's see it. Bundle Ruskie, Bundle Ruskie,
Bundle Ruskie. He's right, that's how it's gonna go.

Speaker 8 (30:54):
That's gonna go.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
All right, thank you?

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Mind?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
You know, maybe Steve Cohen for eight million, could just
pay for eight million. Here's thirty seconds of Mets highlights,
you know, and then and then you end with a
big bomby by Jan Sodo. Hey, we're ready for next year.
What's the purp? Now, we're just gonna show Mets highlights.
We want to show Alonzo's home run. So you know
we're gonna show Lindor's big home run. We're gonna show
we got Sodo. Yeah, eight million, that's cool. I can
do that. That's fine. Got'll work.

eight eight million dollars.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Pitch to Pete Ononts. Hey, Pete, we love you. I mean,
and here's a bunch of his highlights.

Speaker 5 (31:26):

eight million dollars that it cost us for this thirty
seconds is coming out of our offer. So now it's
really three years and sixty two million is what you
need to look at. Right, the three years seventy million
not happening. We'll still give you the opt outs, but
we're out of time, sorry, Pete Boom eight million? How

him that said it. That's next right here, Jason and

(33:25):
a big curveball thrown our way today courtesy of Bill Belichick,
who appeared on the the The Let's Go podcast that
Jim Gray and Tom Brady have made famous over the
last few years, and when the conversation turned to winning
and winning Super Bowls of what it takes to win,
Belichick Guena went on this whole rant and dietribe that, Hey,

(33:47):
I don't win games. The players win games. They mentioned
a bunch of Hall of famers and guys that played
on the pages. These guys all played, you know, guys
like Ty Law and Teddy Bruski, and you know that they,
you know, Vince will Fork. These guys win games. I
didn't win any. And then he kind of offered that
maybe the Lombardi Trophy should be renamed.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Players win games.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
You can't win games without good players.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I don't care who the coach is. It's impossible.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
You can't win without good players.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
They don't name it the Star Trophy. It's named Littlembardi Trophy.
Maybe it's a name it the Brady Trophy. He wants
seven of them.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Okay, I first of all, I think this has to
be AI Bill Belichick. There's no way he goes on
this podcast and starts talking and crediting the players with
how great they are and not his coaching. Right, the
players are so great? And Tom Brady, who if he's
so great, why did you Nicol and Diamond to push
him out? We don't want to pay him anymore. He
don't want to pay him anymore. I want to start

(34:42):
over with Mac Jones. I wanted Jimmy Garoppolo three years
before we kick Brady out. Oh yeah, Now suddenly I'm
all pro Brady, and I'm saying, oh, I should rename
it to the Brady Trophy because he certainly won enough
of Like. This has to be AI Bill Belichick, because
there's no way this is him actually saying this. For
twenty some odd years, he has been the opposite where

(35:03):
he decided I want to tear this Patriots team down
because I'm sick of Brady getting all the credit and
I want to remake it with a bunch of no names,
and I want to win with absolutely zero talent on
this team, Like I want to win and have people
just go. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach that sports
have ever seen. And John Wooden isn't even deserving to

(35:24):
be in the same area code as Bill Belichick because
look at all.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
This lack of talent.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Look at all these these safeties that he's taking from
Division two schools in the first round. Look at this
horrible roster he is putting together because he wants no
stars to prove that he knows more about football than anybody.
This is a guy suddenly who now is saying, hey, yeah, oh,
you don't win without great players. This is like a
load of crap from Bill Belichick. Did he was a
bet and say, all right, if I lose, I'll go

(35:49):
on a podcast and I'll credit players. Oh wow, Okay,
I guess, I guess I gotta go on this bide
the Lions lost to the Commanders, I'll go on the
podcast and I'll start crediting the players. Like really, I
think it's Ai Belichick it has to be.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
I do like that, you went and you grabbed John
Wooden in this same you know, same sentence, and did
that analogy? Folks, Go look it up, go look at
the history of John Wooden, think about what people say
about Belichick, and let's go have some fun, shall we.

Speaker 5 (36:14):
All right, So.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Moving on from there, Belichick, this is not the first
time he's talked about players and how they win and
coaches lose. Game like there has been a consistent theme
of his for years now. At the end, wasn't contentious
and miserable? I always wondered how much of that was
a bit overblown because you had someone who felt a
bit burned, and that's where you get the Wickersham and

(36:36):
all of those were putting the Wickersham Reports sounds like
one of those specials you'd watch on A and Eickersham Reports,
but all of those things right, So someone feels spurned,
So all of a sudden we start hearing all the
dirty laundry being aired when they.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
I always thought with Brady it was the I've always.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Made my living, And this is Belichick going, you know what,
we always gotten out of guys a year or two
too early, rather than that year. Disastrous year, too late,
So let's do it here, especially when you had Jimmy
uh and waiting in the wings. Well, it did work,
and then he made one.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
He's kept pulling out the strings, and you know, before
it was all it all came asunder. But looking at
it now, I mean, look, he and Jim Gray obviously
haveing a good laugh, right, and Gray mentions it's not
the bart Star Award and bart Start didn't win a
bunch of them.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Man, Yeah, he won.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Well, he won the first two. I mean they were
that was it, but they called it. But like, I
don't get this sudden change unless Belichick really is saying, hey,
I really want back in the NFL. Dude, it's not
happening anymore. Everybody hied everybody else. Unless you want to
go coach the Saints. You it's just stick with North Carolina.
Worry about beating Syracuse on Friday night this fall. Oh

(37:53):
my god, that schedule for syracuses impossibly difficult. But like,
I don't understand what he's trying to do all of
a sudden, But I mes his history from Belichick.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Well, but let me try to encapsulate it when you're
in it, right, You have one way that has always
worked about motivating guys, right, which is all the tales
of yes, everybody got called out in film review, but
who wore it worst, Brady Gronkowski, the guys that were
the biggest stars. Right, So when it comes time to
in the aftermath, when you don't have to do that

(38:23):
in the locker room, you don't have to be that
guy anymore.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
You put that persona aside. You just get back down
to brass tacks. You know, this is what won us games.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
These guys were excellent in points that they needed to be,
much like we talk about with the Patriots or like
the chiefs Now or some of these other squads and
all other sports of how in the final minutes they
don't flinch. But when you're in it, that's the persona
that Bill Belichick adopted, right, he's led Tasso.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Now, Frostburg, you actually have idea of what the new
trophy would look like. Yeah, I have the design in
front of the design in front of you. Okay, what's
it look like? And replaced the silver football with a
deflated one. Oh yeah, that would look really cool.

Speaker 9 (39:08):
You just you see like all the dents in it
and the bottom opens up where you can store your
smash cell phone.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
I know you're gonna say, and the bottom opens up
in video of the other team practicing, just slide that
drone comes out? All right, go fly, go record that practice.
Be quick the fleets and come back to me.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
How can I get a three D printer to make
one of these immediately? What's time to market?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Frosper, We'll be ready to roll by Sunday, it would be.
And on the bottom it would it would say, you
know the Brady Trump presented by TB twelve with the
website on the bottom and like Alex Guerrero's signature on
the back of it, is that what you would have?
And it takes you to cheaters dot com.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Yeah, man, that would be like the wicked dolls that
took you to a website that they didn't want you
to go.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Suddenly, Now I love Tom Brady, I love all the
players all the time. Now that I'm not getting back
at oh wait wait wait wait wait, like I really
this is I mean, this is he he talked. He
didn't treat people great when he talked about him in
the media. He didn't say any glowing things about Brady.
He never said really glowing things about anybody, any of

(40:17):
his players, and you know that pissed him off. But
now suddenly now they're all great. Now hey, bygones, be bygones. Man, No, no,
now you guys are all great. Oh okay, thanks Bill. Hey,
how many people talk about.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
How their relationships with their parents change as they get older. Man,
they were really hard on me. And then I got
a job and I became a functioning adult, and all
of a sudden we're.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
Besties, right, I mean, look the safe thing here, and hey,
the kids did good dude.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
And it's not and look it's not his age or anything,
because Pete Carroll got a job. He's seventy. He found
a way to get along with people more. He's seventy
four years older than Belichick and he still got a job.
Like Bill, it's it's done, it's over. Just stay who
you are, stay there, curmudgeon.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
That you were just Hey, what does he have to
do to get run out of a Raiders organization like
he did?

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Us?

(41:50):
history of Syracuse basketball. They trail Stanford twenty two to two.
Stanford started this game at a seventeen to oh run
and it's not football, it's college basketball. Yeah, on our
way to what's going to be the worst regular season
Syracuse has had in over thirty the worst season we've

(42:11):
had since Beheisen was the coach before he retired. This
is the low point in Syracuse basketball history. So with
that in mind, let's bring on a very proud Stanford
grad right now, who was enjoying this twenty point bulge.
He is a Hall of very Good voter because Stanford's
been playing very good tonight. He's with the thirty third team.

I forgot about that.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Not try and like get one over on me. It's
what is it like twenty seven.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
To three now or something like that, it's twenty two,
you know.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
It's it's nice that we own we own another school
on the East coast. It's good. It's good that we
purchased Syracuse and we just own them, just own Syracuse.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Well, listen, you're Stanford. You needed you needed our academic
excellence to really pump up your resume.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Oh yeah, that works. Yeah, that line work. Yeah, that landed,
That really landed. That that just went went. Yeah, that's
the strong. Yeah, we're gonna go with the academic excellent
against against Stanford.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Has there been a matchup in sports of of two
more expensive colleges to get into then Syracuse?

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Wow that.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
Division one though, yeah, D one, D one obviously D one.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
I don't know that one matchup.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Yeah, let's say there has probably never been a T
one matchup more expensive than those two. Oh yeah, like man,
that's that's D one plus plus plus oh yeah yeah wow,
and and not and not about athletic accidents, but about
about the bill you've got to pay. Oh wow, that's

(44:47):
that's ugly. Okay, all right, well.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Let's start here because I know I've been waiting here
because I know you got something special. We've had the
drama all week. Brian Schottenheimer introduced as a Cowboys head
coach and Dak Prescott's earlier today. Hey, he's tied to
my future, which is a which is a really big
statement full of confidence. Uh, you know what, what's your
big takeaway from this whole thing that started with firing
Mike McCarthy and ended with Brian Schottenheimer.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I can't remember which one person. Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Oh up, we lost We lost him. See that's what
I'm when you start being cocky and arrogant. Mike har
and he started talking about a my school could beat
you in sports and we're smarter. This is what happens.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
What did I tell you? It was like the Hubris
and the Bravado of the Lions.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Eventually the football gods were coming back to smite you,
and they did in that game against Washington.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
Now they're my problem. But that's what got Jason Cole
right there, Hubris.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
All right, let's say if we.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Got it back now, Jake, call you there, I am here,
can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Very good? Yes, we got you now.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Okay, So Jerry Jones is now pushing the the envelope
on making his fans disinterested. Like the one thing that
Jerry was always able to do was to keep the
soap opera alive. Like he is the Susan Lucci of
NFL owners. He really is, you know, and he could

(46:12):
he could sell. And there's a guy you know, classically
ice Eskimos. He can do it, you know, like absolutely
right this time, I think he's crossed that line into
like everybody's looking going, Jerry, are you kidding us? You know,
like it's you know, the jig is up, it's over.

(46:35):
You're you're you know, you can say all the time
you want, you'll pay a mem out, but you just
settle for a guy who was cheap, you know, and
and around, who will do whatever your your bidding is.
It's become more obvious than ever before. And it's obvious that,
you know, with McCarthy, he was willing to walk away

(46:56):
even if he had no job guarantee. That's how little
he thought of the situation. And that tells you how
little everybody in the NFL thinks of the situation, That
that Mike McCarthy walked away from this without a guarantee
of a job, Like that's an amazing statement. And you've

(47:18):
ended up with Brian Schottenheimer, who who knows. I mean,
you know it may work, but certainly there's no resume
to prove it, none, zero, zilch. So I'm on a
thread with a bunch of guys. You know, we talked
all sorts of trash about fancy football. And there are
two Cowboys fans, I mean they are die hard Cowboys fans.

(47:41):
They believe to the very end, and they were like,
like it was basically, I'm done. One of them didn't
even respond to all the harassing we gave him after
the Schottenheimer hiring, and it's I mean, I'm telling you,
it's some ugly stuff, Like is it is awful? Okay

(48:02):
to be on this thread if you're going to get
to mean right? And we gave it to him, and
one guy just went like radio silent and the other
one was just like you know, waving the white flag.
He didn't even fight back, which just tells you where
Cowboys fans are, like they realize they're screwed until Jerry
passes away.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
But the droughts and opinion. Stephen Jones even said it yesterday, Hey,
this drought, this quote drought we've been in for thirty years,
Like that's only your opinion. They haven't won.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
We welcome to America. We make up our reality. And
you can use that statement on so many levels, but
I will just leave it right there. You can interpret
however you want. Yeah, it's thirty years. Yeah, it just
says we haven't won, but we've really accomplished a lot.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
You can put it on the Lord. Yes, all all right,
So how much the official and aiding crew screw up
the Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (49:08):
I'm as will they screw up the Super Bowl?

Speaker 5 (49:09):
How will they do this? Sir? You know, everybody's got
to ask, you know where where it comes into play.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Oh, they'll be they'll be something awful. It happens, you know,
because it have to happen that you have to blame
the officials in any big game right now. That's just
the way it is. And there's no break for those
guys at all, or should there be, you know, they
should always be accountable. But it it just tells you
that instead of looking at the refs, everybody should just

(49:39):
look at Roger and say, Roger, how you've got expedited replay.
You've gotten to the point where you can just get
through calls in you know, five to six seconds and
move on, get the call correct?

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Do it?

Speaker 3 (49:53):
You still have to have officials on the field, and
coaches want officials on the field because what people don't
stands not about just the finishing game. It's operating the
game right. It's like making sure it doesn't turn.

Speaker 5 (50:06):
To a burl.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Because football games are really just like two plays, two
players removed from a street player on the game.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Nope, we gotta get him back by I think Rober
Roger Goodell got him.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
He pissed off Jerry Charles. He got him, and now
he went after the Kingpin. I got the Kingpin, took
him down.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
I got that alert on my phone. Someone saying bad
things about me. I have triangulated it. It's that Chase
and Cole again. Let me just let me just zap
his phone. It's on a I got. I got it
on a on a speed dial. I could just zap
his phone again him to stop talking. There we go.
That's good that calot I gotta take. I keep I
keep having a call Jim Porter and asked to get
this guy out of voting for the Hall of Fame.
What's going on all the criticism I always get from him?

Speaker 5 (50:52):
Hey, that's coming up next week? Man.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, we're getting there. Look, we're getting there. There's gonna
be some very good players getting into the Hall of
Fame next week.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
We're very very very good.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
NFL honor is very good. I mean very very very
good players that are getting it. Jake Cole were just
talking about all the very good players you're gonna allow
in the Hall of Fame next week.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
They're all great players. They're all great players of them?

Speaker 5 (51:13):
Are they really?

Speaker 3 (51:14):
And I gotta say and I gotta say it this
way because I think Jerry Jones has gotten into my
phone and is trying to attack him. Goodell, Like, don't
make me responsible for that. Yeah, I'm sorry, Roger.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
I think it's I think Adell just apped your phone
like he has you want, he just apped.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
You, Roger, Roger, it's gonna be well, it's gonna be
a great Hall of Fame class. It's gonna be a
great Hall of Fame class, all right.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
Without.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Okay, without anything, because I know you Look.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
You've been a long time vote to say, great again,
you've been a long time vote.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
It's great. How great is it? It's great? But how great?
It's so it's great, it's famous, okay with without giving
you very fame because it's a Hall of Fame, uh,
without giving anything and not anything that went inside with
the voting. If I said what players you thought were
going to get in? Who do you say, who do
you think is going to get in?

Speaker 3 (52:09):
I can't. I can't. I Mean, I appreciate the effort,
but I can't do this. I just can't. I do
have a I have made a promise that I'm not
going to reveal any answering anything, and I know I
know who the seven guys are who made it to
the end. Okay, so I can't do that.

Speaker 5 (52:29):
There you go, it's down to seven.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
I appreciate, I appreciate the question and the efforts to
kind of dance around just tell us, you know that
kind of thing, but I just can't.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Frostburg says, if if Antonio Gates doesn't get in, you're
never on the show again. Just so you know, like that,
this is it, this is.

Speaker 5 (52:49):
It, this is that's all last dance.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
I love Rosberg. I just can't respond to this. I
just it's maybe the last one you ever say to me.
I have no idea. We'll see, okay.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
I'm just trying to get Peanut Tillman back on since
everybody's now doing the peanut punch.

Speaker 8 (53:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
I think I think Smith wants to Aaron Glenn's.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Oh you know, if Aaron Glenn wins the Super Bowl
with the Jets, you are voting for him first ballot
until he gets in. I don't that's the deal we're
making right now. If he wins the Super Bowl with
the Jets. You are voting for him and you I
get to go.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Do I get more than two sandwiches in the next
forty years?

Speaker 9 (53:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Yeah, yeah, I'll bring you a saying, no, you let
me talk up Aaron Glenn. I get to present Aaron
Glenn to everybody else.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
I will say that Aaron Glenn not a Hall of Famer,
but a really really really I mean, you are talking
about a very good player.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
He's a very good player, a very good play.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
He is definitively a very good player. I admired that
guy's career because he got so much out of out
of himself. So yeah, a lot of spec for Aaron Glenn.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Is that the hiring you like the most of all
the all the hiring so far, we're still waiting for
the Saints, which obviously.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Is you got the miniature Sola, that's all you did.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
But of all the opening Yeah, but now, of all
the openings, it's like when you go.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
To France, right and they have all the series in
the Rodance Sculpture Garden of the Thinker, and you can
buy the big one that actually goes in your garden.
You can buy a smaller one that you can put
put on a table, and you can buy the one
that goes on your bookshelf. You bought the bookshelf, soa,
that's what you did.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
That's just an elitist way of saying something that you
could have just said in a different way without talking
about Rodin and the sculpture in France and all this.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Hey, you've showing up that Stanford education person from Stanford University,
and we own Syracuse and picture and.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Picturing Cole in a beret telling people he's Andrew Luck
when he's when he's under the Eiffel Tower. I'm Andrew Le.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Didn't you know any better when I was there the
last time when I was, when I was when I
was signing Andrew Luck jerseys at a at Gerard Mulow's
bakery and trying to make fifty dollars for every jersey. Okay,
but that was the experience. I paid for the trip.
I paid for the trip. It was great. Oh, and

(55:20):
Andrew doesn't know. I'll talk to Andrew about I've never
mentioned the fact that that I did that jersey thing
in Paris.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
Never Okay, all right, But that was Jacole's subtle way
of also trying to be touristy guys saying, hey, come
visit the Stympus.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
That's not Gerard Mulow's bakery near the Jardin de Luxembourg, Okay,
is just fabulous. If you ever go to Paris, Gerard Mulough's, Like,
you just walk past it and you you can the
smell from inside. Gerard Mulow is just amazing. It was
fantastic bakery.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
So it's a very Is it a very good bakery? No?

Speaker 3 (55:57):
No, no, this is way up on the Hall of Fame.
Like it's almost so good that it shouldn't even be
in a Hall of fame. It's all by itself. It's
a lot, that's how good this is.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Listen, I think the smell is just the the hot
dog cart wrapped in bacon that's outside. That's what you're smelling.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Okay, the eight of them in a row outside outside
Oracle Park in San Francisco. Big a wrap. I think
about it as I come out of there, you know,
having had the peanuts and the beer, right, and I'm

(56:33):
just fall but it smells so good and I really
want to eat it, but I know that I'm going
to throw up on the train. Ride on the way
back to my house. I just can't do it, you know,
like I want to, because you see the bacon, you
see the grease, you see the hot dig and you're like, God,
that looks so awesome, and it's just like, no, you
can't do that to yourself, not after a bag of
peanuts and a couple of beers. You just can't do that.

(56:56):
You have to you have to say no.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
That is a Hall of Fame opinion union by a
Hall of Fame voter, right there, Jason Cole. He's on
Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That's at Jason Cole
sixty two.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Team a phone next week.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
We'll talk to you next week after the Hall of
Fame classes announced.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
What is it now? Thirty six or four?

Speaker 5 (57:15):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (57:16):
It's twenty six fourteen Syria. Kyle McCord just threw two touchdowns.
We cut it to twelve. I'm calling your wrath back
if Syracuse wins this game, just so you know it's happening.
