is the way tire buying should be. Early in the
(00:51):
third quarter, fourteen points, five rebounds, four assists for Luka
Doncic in his first game as a Laker, and the
Lakers are beating the seventy nine fifty four again early
in the third quarter. It has been a Laker clinic
from the jump. Lucas started the game his first The
(01:11):
first offensive possession for the Lakers was an alley you
pass to for a hoop to Hayes. Then he hits
a three a few minutes later, gets really really tired
during a Laker time out that comes back on the floor,
and now he's at fourteen, five and four early in
the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I gotta dig.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
He just did one of the little spin moves trying
to go towards the baseline and thought he got bumped,
and he just yelled at the official the entire way
all the way back down the court.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
He's like, come on, get into it, let's go.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I think we're at like fourteen shots at Dirk Novitzky,
who's there to celebrate?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
He seems like the only star that's there tonight, right,
Like we keep watching it, but hey, all the Laker
luminaries were there for the press conference all but I
feel like Dirk is the only one. Like, are they
that mad because Dirk single handling knocked the Lakers out
of the playoffs year they won the championship.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Player none of these people get back from New Orleans stuff.
We haven't seen anybody on celebrity row. I haven't seen
any of those montage we normally get one of those.
Dirk had to go to Twitter to try to explain
and apologize to MAVs fans who really have had a
bad week and now you've got your all time great
going and it's like, oh, yeah, I have to be
in Los Angeles for this game, and having to, you know,
(02:21):
kind of sito apologize for it's like, that's my.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Guy, you know, my guy. I gotta go, I gotta
go celebrate my guy.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I kind of, honestly, I didn't say. I kind of
half expected Jack Nicholson to be there, to just one
of those Luca's first game. Jack is there. Jack is
in the building. And I really thought, I said, I
kind of half excepted. Now who knows, because look, he
doesn't come to the games anymore. Last time became last
year was oh my goodness, Jack is at the game.
(02:47):
My god, it's Jack Nicholson. But I really thought, oh,
Luca's first game, he's gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I really thought he would.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
That would have been a big would have been a
big get right there. Yeah, I did a big get.
He has season tickets for a long time. Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But someone else is sitting there, Yeah right, I mean, look,
you're getting his money, but the celebrity and you know,
it's a big enough event to wear a guy who's
basically become a recluse. I mean, what do you get
every once in a while there's a paparazzi photo of
a disheveled looking what is he eighty seven or whatever?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Jack Nicholson not his porch and Jack.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I wanted the three seats to be Kendrick Lamar and
Drake and Serena Williams.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
That's kind of what I want. I wanted all three.
I wanted all three of them. I wanted the three
of them right there.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Somebody, somebody sent me the best, the best tweet, including
Serena Williams, and she's doing the crip walk in front
of the old nWo.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Wolf Pack logo.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, like when I hear my music, you know, for
all of this was such a thing, like she does
it everywhere, like she does.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
The kind of big Well, now this one, I mean,
it's just a big deal because a man, We've seen
plenty of talking heads get all out of sorts of X.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You're married, let it go. It's like, it doesn't mean
you can't still get a little stomp on. No, I
get it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You could still be petty every now and again, especially
out of stage that long.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And this is not where like, hey, I'm I'm I'm
gonna fly into Bozeman, Montana where there's a big concerting
she's doing halftime of the super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like it's a okay, I'll go on staying at halftime.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
If you said to me, hey, Jason Smith, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey,
think about the X that your biggest X in your life,
I'm like, okay, got it. Okay, you could go dance
at halftime of the super Bowl and it would really
get back at her and people would talk about it
on social media all of that, and I'm like, okay, okay, okay.
Now meanwhile, now what dance are you? I would do
(04:42):
the Fred Sandford. I would do the Fred Sandford or
the Electric Slide because I do pretty mean electrics Fred Sandford,
or the dental Fluss.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
How you do the dental flus?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And they said, hey, you can get back at that X,
And I would say, okay, halftime of the super Bowl. Meanwhile,
you know, Pam and I have been together for thirty
years and and and everything's been great and the love
of my life and everything has been fantastic. But I
still say, oh, have TI on the super Yeah, I'll
do that. Yeah, I could do that. Yeah, that's fine,
that's fine. Whatever you I could do that, sure, Yeah,
no problem.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
What do you get? What do you get from Pam
as the gift when you get back?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Uh, let's see, I find a way to monetize that, because,
as you say, you gotta find a way to monotize always.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And uh, then we would do we take a nice,
a nice weekend trip somewhere. Uh, just her and I
where I do whatever she wants me to do. Hey,
can you get yes, absolutely hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
What do you what do you need? I was gonna say,
can you get on the roof and clean the gun? Yes?
I can clean the guns.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
This is why we have services and teenagers in the
neighborhood or Zoe.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Uh, let's let's teach her some skills. Yeah. No, And
I would absolutely do that. I absolutely do.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Here, God, look at me doing the Fred Sandford.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm coming to join you, Elizabeth. I gotta explain the
millennials with the Fred Samford. Well, yeah, I'm coming to
join you. I'm coming to join it. Uh So, eighty
seven fifty six Lakers with lead midway through the third quarter.
We got more NBA on the way.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But you want a great hot take coming off a
Super Bowl Licks Always Yesterday sort of felt like the
end of the Chiefs dynasty right now, think about that
for a second, end of the dynasty where it's super
Bowls every year, the end of the not the end
of them being a good team, not the end of
(06:23):
them being a great team, but the end of the
dynasty where it's.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Super Bowl, super Bowl, super Bowl, super.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Bowl, super Because that's how dynasties end, right anytime you
see something like that in sports, where a team is
won for a long time, you see it end pretty
suddenly and severely. And the Eagles laid bare everything that
the Chiefs showed.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Maybe we're just not that great, And honestly, maybe the
AFC just isn't as good as the NFC. The AFC's
got they got great quarterbacks in the AFC, but boy,
the NFC seems like they have the better teams. Because
what the what the Eagles did was their defensive line
on a clinic. This is a really good Chiefs offensive line,
right Look, they're able to do always, always getting down
the field, always get the points to fourth quarter, and
(07:06):
the Chiefs defensive line ran rough shot over them. Travis Kelcey,
who has been Patrick Mahomes' biggest weapon. Yeah, we survived
the loss of Tyreek Hill because Travis Kelcey was still great.
How far back can you trace the decline of Patrick
Mahomes being the up and down the field video game
quarterback to when Travis Kelcey started looking like ages catching
(07:28):
up to him. He looks a little bit human. Kelsey
looks like he's done. He had no separation yesterday, throws
were at his feet. The playoffs should have been a
time for him to Really, I really thought he would
step up and have a big game.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Remember he's yelling at Andy Reid and.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
The super side sidelay Super Bowl last year about getting
the ball more. He looks like he's done, and the
Eagles back seven are able to control this game where
the Chiefs weapons could not get loose. Yes, Xavier Worthy
had a nice game, but someone's going to have a
nice game. And the biggest play Worthy had was when
the game was in You haet it. Oh, by the way,
(08:01):
you know, sixty yard touchdown in the final two minutes
of the game. Right, it's nice and Worthyes, it seems
like a good player and that's good news for the
Chiefs game finish to the regular season. So yeah, he
came on. Look at this Eagles team the way they
just absolutely dismantled the Chiefs. And I know the Chiefs
are gonna go into the offseason and say, well, we
gotta make moves, But you're making moves to try to
get a that's not stuff you just catch up on
(08:23):
with a couple of waves of the magic wand and
say well, this guy's gonna commit it. We're gonna be great.
This guy's gonna commit it, We're gonna be great. But
that's not how you do it. Mahome is getting paid
a lot of money now, and you are. Are you
where you gonna go get the next great tight end?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You get trade up for Ty Warren? I gotta go
get it. How are you gonna get that you've had?
Travis Kelsey has been the best tight end in the NFL,
probably one of the top five ends tight ends in
the NFL all time. Travis Kelsey. When it's all said
and done, you don't just replace that. That seems to
be the one weapon that the Chiefs can't do without.
So to say oh we're gonna replace that, we'll place
the offensive line not quite Man, not quite. And this
(08:59):
is a Chiefs team that now is built differently than
it was three years ago when they still had star
superstars going up and down the field.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yes, they have talent.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Obviously the Chiefs were a good team, but like Tiger
Woods at the end, when it fell off right away,
like the Warriors, where they get to the Fund, they
lose that final with Kevin Durant and suddenly Kevin Durant's gone.
You feel like that was the last night of the dynasty. Now,
the flip side of it and the sunnyside is can
the Chiefs win another Super Bowl for the back half
(09:27):
of Mahomes' career. Yes, I can see there being a
season where they put it together, a couple of upsets happen,
they have a good enough year, they go on the road,
their defense is good enough, they can win one more.
But just like the Warriors, say the dynasty was over,
but still they found a way in a year where
a lot of things went their way. Hey, we got
one more title out out of it, and that was
(09:49):
the true end of we're not winning anymore. And now
they're just trying to keep whatever they have going with
Stephen Draymond. So yes, I think the Chiefs can win
one more. But if you gave me the over under
for Chief super Bowls in the Mahomes era the rest
of the way, if you put it one and a half,
I'm taking the under. And I don't mean wins, I
mean getting the Super Bowl because the AFC nout. Look,
all the great teams in the NFCRE he told you
(10:11):
how great they are. All the teams in the AFC
are younger and getting better.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The Bills are younger and they're ascending. The Bengals are
younger and they're ascending.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The Broncos and the Chargers right behind them are younger
and they're ascending.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The Steelers could be a quarterback away from still being
a dominant team. The Ravens are younger and ascending. I mean,
this is a situation where it's not just where, hey,
we lost, we're back next year. It's all these teams
that were this close. And you spent all season long
showing everybody that maybe the dynasty was on its last legs,
because it was a lot of escapes, and it was
(10:43):
a lot of Chiefs poise winning games in the fourth quarter,
not blowing teams out. Yes, they won a lot of
games out. But again, that's how the end of the
dynasty goes. The dynasty ends right away. It doesn't end
with a decline where all, hey, the Chiefs were nine
and seven this year, then they were nine and eight.
This year they were eight nine. The dynasties end really quick,
really abruptly, and that's how it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Went last night.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Well, you watch throughout and you mentioned a lot of
the AFC squads that have the dominant quarterback, and that
will just go through the team element even in your
own division. Now the Raiders are what they are. We'll
see what they holds for twenty twenty five, who the
quarterback is, and what Tom Brady and all that shuffling
(11:25):
about does. Right, are they suddenly going to at least
be competitive to where they muddy.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Up the waters?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well, we know both the Chargers and the Broncos are
very much that right. If we saw anything in Denver.
You've got a couple of really viable parts on the offense.
Still some work to do with your running back position, fine,
but bo Nick's Courtland Sutton, you've got something there. You
look at the Chargers. The infrastructure is there justin Herbert
(11:51):
wasn't asked to do a ton this year. You didn't
have the weapons. I'm gonna go out on a limb
and say they probably add a receiver or two to
go along with what is a really dominant offensive line.
Now the defensive line has the questions. We talk about
bos or whatever else. But all that to say, in division,
it's a tougher road. And this is where you get
into some of the reboot just because you've done it right,
(12:11):
you know, like the relationship thing. Hey, thirty years. You
know there's Rocky days, Yeah, Rocky weeks, right, nothing, four,
there's Rocky five, there's Rocky Man.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And then you get to Creed and you have no
idea Rocky and Bullwinkle, Sure, yeah, Morris and Natasha with
Robert de Niroz. I mean looks Rocky Colorvido. Yeah, yeah,
I got toldo Rockies.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Look at that you got Cleveland in for for tyser
Good for you. But all of that to say that
you've done it right before and you were able to
get right because it's the easy answer as well. After
they got their ass kicked by Tampa, you know, look
what they were able to do. It's like, okay, lightning
doesn't always strike twice right, that you don't suddenly get
like all those offensive linemen that might have showed a
(12:53):
little bit of age or out of sorts, maybe they're
that much worse next year, and that the guy you
try to bring in. There's money to be had all around.
And yes, you have the cell factor of Mahomes, legacy history,
Andy Reid's still there, all of those things. But to
say that you're suddenly gonna get that right in the
(13:13):
draft and all look at the Cubs, I mean, like,
I'll switch sports for a second. They got everything right
in their organization for about three years and they got
that title and then it all went to hell. All
those guys got hurt and they left and everything else
went a way. And it's not to say that the
Chiefs fall off a cliff, as you say, you still
have Mahomes, but as Mahomes the guns leader, they did
things by taking care of the football. What did he
(13:35):
not do on Sunday Jason Smith? Yeah, take care of
the football.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
What is take care of the football? Too? Terrible, no deal, Terrible.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Interceptions that put them behind the eight ball.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Because that's the thing. The defense at points didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Play terrible Yeah right, they didn't play terrible football, but
Patrick Mahomes absolutely obliterated you. So do we put them
on the Sam Donald Dais at least for this year?
Then it was really good for all of that time
until it wasn't. But yes, you can rise again, but
it's going to be harder.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
And on the other.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Side, Uh, those Eagles are gonna be waiting for you
at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, And look what do I say all the time,
because we're finding this now, not only just in sports
but in the world.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Just because something has.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Been good or been around forever doesn't mean it's always
going to be around. Right, Just because Toys r Us
was around forever doesn't mean Toys r Us is gonna
be around forever. It's not like just because the Chiefs
have always been really really great in Mahomes era doesn't
mean that's always gonna continue. And it's it's a it's
a tough time right now to say, Okay, we're just
gonna reload and keep it going. That's why last night
(14:40):
felt like this was the last Embers, the last the
last bit of noss. We had to try to get
us over the finish line, and they just didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well, and that's why they're singing Baby, that's cruise away.
But you got you gotta watch everything associated with the show.
But all of that to say, Jason, I mean Mahomes
had statistically, I mean, we're he was still creeping towards
four thousand yards, still had nearly thirty touchdowns. It's just
more uneven and Rashid Rice will come back. But guys
come back from big injuries. Do they always come back
(15:10):
one hundred? No, Travis kelce potentially. I mean you've got
Noah Gray. Noah Gray is not Travis kelce no I
any way stretch and like with Travis kelcey they get out.
If they cut him, they save seventeen million on their cap. Wait,
that's an awful lot of money to go find a
linement maybe to get some of those fixes, but you
still need to figure out.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That guy in the middle.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
See, if I was a writer and I travel, I
would steal the title from Buster Only and write a
book the Last Night of the Chiefs Dynasty and go
Last Night and do the whole thing that I think
I would.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It's a book.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I would still have the same cover, except that I
would have Rivera with with Mahomes's helmet. Hey, look, I
don't have a lot of money for all this, so
we're gonna just put my homes.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
You know though, I think if you gave Buster a
couple of bucks, you'd be okay, okay, because like, if
it's not owned by see this is where is it
the corporate entity that owns it and filed all the copyrights,
trademarks and everything's chiefs Dynasty.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
There you go, Exit out out of Fresco, Exit swallowed Dome.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon Live and the
Tirec dot Com Studios. Coming up next, someone we haven't
talked about yet that deserves a lot, maybe the most
credit for the Eagles Super Bowl championship and got I
feel someone who hasn't been talked about a lot today.
That's next right here. It's not Aaron, It's next Jason
(16:31):
and Mike. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
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
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike Harmon,
Rockets Owned the Dream Ad with Take Me home Country
roads the one I remember most from Sunday. Why because
Rocket's reminding us we all deserve a shot at the
American dream of owning a home. That's kind of a
big deal. Also a big deal. What is happening right
now at the Crypt The Jazz, looking to cut into
(17:07):
the Lakers lead in the third quarter have not done it.
One hundred to seventy three. Luca dunched his first game
with the Lakers. Going to the fourth quarter, yeh, every
Lakers starter is in double figures. They're shooting nearly sixty
percent from the floor. Luca's played twenty four minutes, fourteen points,
five rebounds, four assists, And we were told before the
(17:28):
game that it was gonna be kind of a minutes
restriction on lucas he hasn't played since December, still coming
back from the injury. Translation, Okay, we know he's gonna
look really tired, and we don't want that to be
the narrative that Luca really is out of shape. So
we're gonna say he's on a minutes restriction.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, no, no, that's it. But so far it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Doesn't look bad because none of the Lakers have had
to play all these minutes because they're winning by twenty
five going to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
The Utah Jazz playing dead at the crypt.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, I like that very nice here, you got very nice.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Because I mean other than a couple of little barrages,
I mean they had that seven zero run, there's still
down twenty.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, look, Luca's looked really good at the Lakers.
The thing about the LA and this is what the
biggest thing is, is that and this is a different
way to look at trades. Is that or a big move,
like whether you're firing a manager, you're making a trade
in the season. Is that Sometimes it's not about the
player but about the energy it brings to a team.
(18:34):
And the Lakers clearly have been a different team since
the nixt game last Saturday, which you can't tell me
they didn't know they were getting Luca. It was a
different game. They shot, They shot sixty percent from the floor.
Lebron Is Giddyon laughing after the game. You know he
knows they're getting Luca. He's wanted to play on the
long time. There's something to be said for the energy
that that gives a team, like when you fire a
(18:56):
manager in baseball, where it's Hey, okay, we have a
series against the bottom feeder team coming up, like the
White Sox, so let's fire the manager now because it's
a series we're likely going to win. Everybody gets on,
gets back in a great positive frame of mind, and
and and we feel good. But the energy of the
But what I see right now, it's not that Lucas
doing anything on the floor tonight, that's amazing, but the
(19:17):
energy of the trade, the energy of the Luca trade.
You can see it in the Lakers, and they have
done something that I didn't think was possible. And this
is over the course of your Look, the first they
trade D'Angelo Russlite's not working. We got to move on
from him. It's not working, or moving on from Anthony Davis,
where somehow found a way to bring in Luka doncich right,
which is a great move. We have the pieces that
we think we need. Yes, you take it on the
(19:39):
chin with the Mark Williams trade having to be canceled
because he felt as physical. But overall, yeah, I think
getting Luca the deadline is kind of like the Mets
getting soda whatever else. The rest of your off season
is I think you did okay, and That's what it is.
Right now, It's not just Luca, it's the energy of
getting Luca that you that you've seen the Lakers have.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
No they just splashed the graphic up as they end
the third quarter. Six eight games, they've scored at least
ninety points through three, right, little more efficiency, little extra
work on the offensive ends to make the extra pass,
to make the extra cut, and getting into a flow.
It's you know that confidence. We had several players around
(20:20):
that nixt game also talk about how giddy JJ Reddick
had been over the course of that day, even before
tip off. He either really likes New Yorker, as you say,
probably had a pretty good inkling. If not Luca, somebody
very large. Right, I'll give them the out that they
knew they had something in the Coffers tight jacket Rob
(20:41):
Polenka was going to work. But we also look at
one of the other little notes from this game, halftime
leads twenty six and four and finishing finishing the job. Now,
I don't know what their average lead is in that,
but I mean that's a pretty damn good sample size
(21:02):
when you talk about taking care of business, and for
all the handwringing, I'm certain to do about their defense
over the next couple of months. You know, you take
advantage of the schedule where it is and go out
and you slap these teams around, right, You work out
whatever wrinkles you want to add to your offense. You
get some more confidence and guys like for guys like
Jackson Hayes and others as they get their first reps
(21:25):
with Luca and you get to play some easy minutes
made from Lebron and Luca. I mean, this is the
best of all worlds. And yes, the schedule gods, lowercase
basketball gods, smile on them here with a couple of
games against the Utah so you can get a couple
of I don't know, preseason games like you're in college
football before you get the.

Lebron James has just left the game for the Lakers.
He walks off the court, grimaces a couple of times,
points to his mid section, talks to medical personnel, and
he is now trying to stretch in the tunnel, potentially
to get back in the game, or maybe he's gonna
walk to the locker room again. Walked off the court
(22:26):
a couple of times, pointed to his stomach, talked to
a couple of medical personnel, walking into the tunnel, and
is up against the wall trying. It looks like he's
trying to stretch his stomach. Uh. And we'll have an
update on this as soon as we can, but that's
where it sits right now for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, he stood in trying to grab and get a charge,
so he took a lot of contact to the to
the mid section and fell like a house guard.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That would be the lateral collateral area of the mid section,
according to Grillamonde, waiting go monson, Yeah, the the abdominal
they made. Did Tony Garia have him in the abdominal stretch?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Well?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, man, Look and if we can get the word
solar plexus in all won.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I can't tell you that the fight I had with
one of my friends and any you know, when I
was young, I would have these. That's why I knew
I'd be a great sports talk radio host, is that
there are so many arguments I won that that people
would and all my friends who thought they were so
cool that would lose. Like my one friend who said,
what song you're listening to? Eminent Strut by the Who
It's Eminence Front. No, it's eminent strut. This is like
(23:26):
in the eighties when you can't just no, no, dude,
it's eminence. It's Eminence Front. No, it's evident struck. You
would talk about Jason Jason things, it's evidence.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Front, right, and then we find it. I'm right. He
doesn't say anything like I had a fight.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I luck, I had a knockdown, drag out an argument
with one of my friends at Tony Gia. It was
the abdominal stretch. No, it's the domino stretch. I go,
it's not the dominoes. What the hell is a domino stretch?
Like I I eat dominoes and I stretch.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
It's not. It's the abdominal stretch. No, that's not what
he's saying. No, No, you know, you go, Jason, You're.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Stupid yet No, it's the abdominal stretch. Then found a
Domino stretch. Oh it sounded like the domino stret much. Okay, great,
thanks a lot.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
The whole time you're doing that in my head. And
we had a couple of good live versions growing up.
My dad had a very eclectic and wide ranging record
collection put on. So you'd go from Jethrow Toll, just
a Merle Haggard to the who Zeppelin, maybe a little
(24:23):
bit of Sabbath, and then you go back and there'd
be a Dolly Parton.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Record like we like it was all over.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
And then to add some Sinatra and Dino to it,
I mean, just crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm pretty sure it's a rule that any time you
say eminence front in a group of people, someone has
to say.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
It's a put on someone absolutely. That's like when someone
says free bird, free bird, free bird.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Now, the guy we're not talking about enough coming off
the super Bowl, and it's weird because not a guy
that played us played a second is Aaron Rott.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
No, uh, what a great game he yet, happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But we're not talking enough about because we you know,
we talk about about people who are architects and build
teams and general managers, And I don't know, man, I
don't know if Howie Roseman might not be the best
GM in all of sports because he has been able
to as running the Eagles for basically the last twelve
(25:16):
or so years by himself, right, different different titles GM
than he was GM President of Operation.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
There they shut him down after the Chip Kelly stuff. Right, So,
but he's been basically been running the Eagles. You go
and you build a super Bowl team in twenty eighteen, right,
and you get there and you win and you beat
the Patriots, right, great phenomenal. Then you get back four
years later with an entirely new team like the Chiefs. Hey, yeah,
(25:43):
their dynasty's been great, but it's been a lot of
the same guys. Right, It's the same quarterback, it's the
same superstar tight end. This is all new guys, all
new guys, man.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All new guys you want with a backup quarterback against
the Eagles. And now here you are four years later
and it's entirely new team, new head coach, new everything
all right. Now, two years after that, we get back again,
and not only that, we get back with the same
head coach and the same quarterback, but different guys, look
what they did this year. You look at the list
(26:13):
of the players that they have brought in this year
who have been huge difference makers. Whether it's drafting cooperjen
whether it's Saquon Barkley, whether it's Makai Beckton, all these
players that they brought in in the last twelve months.
It's and they turned this into a super Bowl team,
Like you turned over probably half the starters a little
bit more from twenty twenty two, just to news right. Yeah,
(26:35):
you go from it from twenty eighteen to the Super
Bowl to an entirely new team four years later, new
head coach and everything, to half a new team two
years later, Like.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
How do you do that? And U and I yeah,
here all the time. Oh, it's just Howie Roseman's team.
They do whatever the hell he wants. He's a guy
calling the shots. So you could be mad at no.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I would let Howie Roseman call the shots from my
team all the time. If he can do that every
couple of years, we can reinvent. I mean even with
Sewan they yes, we're reloading on the fly, but it's
the same head coach and the same philosophers. I mean,
what the Eagles have been able to do from you know,
in the last six years, a new team and half
a new team and still it's three Super Bowls.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Rebooting coordinators on the fly. It'll be interesting to see,
I mean, because we know the restrictions and problems associated
with the New Orleans Saints' job, right cash strapped. Derek
Carr is your QB, A lave coming off a big injury.
Kamara an extra year older. You don't haven't done how
much flexibility that Sirianni went to the big podium right away.
(27:35):
It's like, how about we run it back? You know,
is it a better job and better opportunity to stay
and lay in wait instead of going to New Orleans.
We'll wait and see eagerly. In the interim, you had
fifteen of your twenty two starters acquired via the draft.
I mean, think about that, getting all of those right,
seven starters on offense, eight on d including two guys
(27:55):
that were up for Defensive Rookie of the Year this year.
Absolutely incredible from pillar to post and building the interior
and keeping the interior intact. And I know Lane Johnson
gets a lot of flowers as a teacher and as
one of the best linemen we've seen the last twenty
twenty five years, however long you've been watching football, But
(28:18):
you look at what the guts that they've had, and
sticking by Sirianni because the easy thing would have been
with the cacophony of voices nationally and certainly in Philly,
even though he's winning a lot of games, to go
and punt.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Look how quickly they moved on from Doug Peterson after
a Super Bowl. Right, So it's the kind of all right,
let's evaluate where we're at and where we're going and
how to build this thing. No, it's impressive as hell,
and Saquan was the icing on the cake.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Stay in division.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Gut the Giants, gut the Cowboys who decided they didn't
want in on the price of.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Poker, or just let the Cowboys do their thing and
they do their thing. We couldn't afford any of these players,
but you gave Dak Prescott the day before the season
started fifty five million dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No, didn't have the money for Dereck Henry, didn't have
the money, den money a lot of these guys so,
but but we paid Dak. Yeah, but you had Dak.
You had Dak, you could have cut, but you could
have brought another player. We had to pay c d Yeah.
And oh, by the way, now we may or may
not trade Michael Parcels. So hope you'll enjoyed the off season.
And then they hired Ken Dorsey today. How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is he gonna play quarter He
might back up Dak Prescott. I mean he always was
pretty good into Miami.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Although I think I have a better arm than Ken Dorsey,
Now I really think I do you do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Ken Dorsey had a touch. Are we talking you know,
are we talking with Duke or are we talking? No?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
No, junior Duke, junior Duke. Yeah yeah, junior figure.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, I could sling it, okay, as long as it's
so we can get a rule of dendem that you
get to you like, you know what the quarterbacks used
to fight about inflation, you know, even inflating and deflating
a football before it became a big thing. Uh, you
get to uh get a couple of junior dukes cycled
in you you know, you want a thing, you know,
And I didn't know this was like always, you know,
my arm I always had this a big long wine up.
(30:04):
That was my thing where you know, I was always
a quarterback when I was a kid, and now in
the last like a couple of years, you know, whenever
I throw football, it's like, oh, it's kind of tough,
kind of tough. So this year, this past fall, my
daughter played flag football and she was she was a quarterback.
And so I went out to have a ketchro. I'm like,
I had to be able to have a catch. And
I said, you know, I wonder if this I want
to catch so much, so you didn't. And I held
(30:25):
the football like Jeff George who would put his finger
on the top of the ball. Brett and I started
throw the football at that. I'm like, oh my god,
this is like the fountain of youth. I'm like, I
could really throw like I don't know what it is,
but I could just spin it so much. And I'm like,
I should have just done this from the beginning. I
could just get give a nice little just cock my
elbow and just a fool. I'm going, Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
I'd really like to see you try to be elusive
in the pocket. I you also said have a catch,
you throw the ball. Yeah, you have a catch.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, okay, so now she's going down the football route.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
No, she just wanted to play. She just wanted to
play for and and just play for a year. It
was the first on the Gaviny bounties on the side. Yeah,
little hat and the other dads, and you had the
towel with the numbers of the other players on the team.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Line like that.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Look at you exit out out of Fresca exit swelling down.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
Coming up next, Who was the most impressive player during
Super Bowl fifty nine that jumped into the superstar category
at their position? That's next, Jason to Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from Thetirack
dot Com Studios. I'll be putting a bow on Luca's
first game as a Laker coming up at about ten minutes.
Lakers lead the Jazz one twenty seven to one to
oh two with about three minutes to go of.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
The fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
But this from from the Super Bowl right, because it
was a couple of weeks ago we talked about how
many real superstar quarterbacks that are in the NFL, and
that is quarterbacks who win games by themselves that elevate
the players around them. They can win with big weapons,
they can win without them, but you win or lose,
(32:08):
you win games with them more so than you do. Hey,
we have a really good roster and a quarterback and
go out and make plays. I really was salty when
you made me take Sam Darnold list. And the four
guys that were on this list going into this year
were Mahomes and josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow.
These were the guys. These were the four guys that
could do that at the highest level. We added Jayden
(32:30):
Daniel to that because that's kind of who he was.
Even though it's been one year, he has shown that
he is that guy. So there were five after yesterday
and Jalen Hurts winning the MVP, winning the Super Bowl,
Jalen Hurts is going to be on that list for
next season.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Are you reacting to that commercial?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
What he was able to do yesterday the second time
on the biggest stage. He's a guy that's nearly won
the MVP. He has had a really terrific start to
his career, but yesterday it was different. He was calm,
He was in control his decision making outside of the
interception early, which is which is a bad throw and
a bad decision, everything he did was incredible, the poise,
(33:12):
whatever it was. The game was really slowed down for him,
and it was a game where they needed him because
Saquon Barkley couldn't find anything. You see the frustration on
Barkley every time he didn't run for a touchdown like
you could tell like a four yard like. I felt
like he was trying to take every ball all the
way and you can't do that. But the way that
Jalen Hurts ran the offense, ran when he had to
(33:35):
throw when he knew it was the right call to make,
making the big throw for the big touchdown dagger that
put the game out of reach after a turnover. Jalen
Hurts is that good and seeing the way that he's
able to perform under the brightest lights and really just
have the game slowed down for him, because that's really
what I saw from Yet there was no instances of
(33:59):
he doesn't know where to go with the ball. He's
throwing a little bit too soon, Like I think he's
it looks like he has come into his own as
a quarterback and having this the resume you have so
far that you're still young, you're still in your mid twenties. Yeah,
he's gonna be. He's gonna be in that list of
six now true superstar quarterbacks the NFL that he wins
games by himself, he wins with good weapons around him,
(34:21):
he wins when they play well. He's he is that
guy on that list. Now, well, this is where it
gets fun. Right, He's six and what six and three
in the playoffs, two great super Bowl games, and he
is forty six and twenty in the regular season. And
what folks will immediately talk about is the stats aren't gaudy, right,
(34:42):
So that's what so like he's on that.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
For me, I want to see what that offense looks
like next year. Right, Saquan had his two thousand thousand
yards behind the offensive line, and we start parsing like
all the greatness to it, and then it's like, okay,
Jalen Hurts was more or less the ring leader is
how it's been. It's no, no, the guys still need to
disturb the drink, right, you still need to have to
respect the passing game and his legs, because I think
(35:07):
that got diminished a little bit. Yeah, the Toush push touchdown,
but he made a couple of back breaking runs. Oh yeah, right,
and Saquon Barkley there but seventy two yards rushing. By
the way, the two props we had with Sakon Barkley
both the unders hit.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, four and a half first rush four yards. I know,
I was so mad. I wanted to text Yard. I
wanted to text him for it.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
And then as we talked with Todd Furman, it was
the under twenty four and a half for the longest rush.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, never gat him close.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Oh so all of that to say, but for Jalen Hurts, yeah,
you colored me intrigued.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
The guy's a winner like that.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
That's the thing that comes out of all of this,
and you know, you get the nice bookend with some
of the here's a touchdown pass to DeVante Smith and
now waiting to see what the next iteration of this
squad is right and how much teams have to react
and whether you can slow down the run game to
where it's on his arm more because regular season eighteen
touchdowns five picks ain't gonna get people excited. It's gonna
(36:07):
be a harder sell. But tell you what be great
in big games. Maybe you'll get to the Hall of Fame.
Oh wait, Eli didn't yet exit.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
How about a Fresca exit swollen dome Jason Sith Mike

is the way tire buying should be. Early in the
(00:51):
third quarter, fourteen points, five rebounds, four assists for Luka
Doncic in his first game as a Laker, and the
Lakers are beating the seventy nine fifty four again early
in the third quarter. It has been a Laker clinic
from the jump. Lucas started the game his first The
(01:11):
first offensive possession for the Lakers was an alley you
pass to for a hoop to Hayes. Then he hits
a three a few minutes later, gets really really tired
during a Laker time out that comes back on the floor,
and now he's at fourteen, five and four early in
the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I gotta dig.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
He just did one of the little spin moves trying
to go towards the baseline and thought he got bumped,
and he just yelled at the official the entire way
all the way back down the court.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
He's like, come on, get into it, let's go.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I think we're at like fourteen shots at Dirk Novitzky,
who's there to celebrate?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
He seems like the only star that's there tonight, right,
Like we keep watching it, but hey, all the Laker
luminaries were there for the press conference all but I
feel like Dirk is the only one. Like, are they
that mad because Dirk single handling knocked the Lakers out
of the playoffs year they won the championship.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Player none of these people get back from New Orleans stuff.
We haven't seen anybody on celebrity row. I haven't seen
any of those montage we normally get one of those.
Dirk had to go to Twitter to try to explain
and apologize to MAVs fans who really have had a
bad week and now you've got your all time great
going and it's like, oh, yeah, I have to be
in Los Angeles for this game, and having to, you know,
(02:21):
kind of sito apologize for it's like, that's my.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Guy, you know, my guy. I gotta go, I gotta
go celebrate my guy.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I kind of, honestly, I didn't say. I kind of
half expected Jack Nicholson to be there, to just one
of those Luca's first game. Jack is there. Jack is
in the building. And I really thought, I said, I
kind of half excepted. Now who knows, because look, he
doesn't come to the games anymore. Last time became last
year was oh my goodness, Jack is at the game.
(02:47):
My god, it's Jack Nicholson. But I really thought, oh,
Luca's first game, he's gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I really thought he would.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
That would have been a big would have been a
big get right there. Yeah, I did a big get.
He has season tickets for a long time. Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But someone else is sitting there, Yeah right, I mean, look,
you're getting his money, but the celebrity and you know,
it's a big enough event to wear a guy who's
basically become a recluse. I mean, what do you get
every once in a while there's a paparazzi photo of
a disheveled looking what is he eighty seven or whatever?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Jack Nicholson not his porch and Jack.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I wanted the three seats to be Kendrick Lamar and
Drake and Serena Williams.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
That's kind of what I want. I wanted all three.
I wanted all three of them. I wanted the three
of them right there.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Somebody, somebody sent me the best, the best tweet, including
Serena Williams, and she's doing the crip walk in front
of the old nWo.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Wolf Pack logo.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, like when I hear my music, you know, for
all of this was such a thing, like she does
it everywhere, like she does.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
The kind of big Well, now this one, I mean,
it's just a big deal because a man, We've seen
plenty of talking heads get all out of sorts of X.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You're married, let it go. It's like, it doesn't mean
you can't still get a little stomp on. No, I
get it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You could still be petty every now and again, especially
out of stage that long.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And this is not where like, hey, I'm I'm I'm
gonna fly into Bozeman, Montana where there's a big concerting
she's doing halftime of the super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like it's a okay, I'll go on staying at halftime.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
If you said to me, hey, Jason Smith, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey,
think about the X that your biggest X in your life,
I'm like, okay, got it. Okay, you could go dance
at halftime of the super Bowl and it would really
get back at her and people would talk about it
on social media all of that, and I'm like, okay, okay, okay.
Now meanwhile, now what dance are you? I would do
(04:42):
the Fred Sandford. I would do the Fred Sandford or
the Electric Slide because I do pretty mean electrics Fred Sandford,
or the dental Fluss.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
How you do the dental flus?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And they said, hey, you can get back at that X,
And I would say, okay, halftime of the super Bowl. Meanwhile,
you know, Pam and I have been together for thirty
years and and and everything's been great and the love
of my life and everything has been fantastic. But I
still say, oh, have TI on the super Yeah, I'll
do that. Yeah, I could do that. Yeah, that's fine,
that's fine. Whatever you I could do that, sure, Yeah,
no problem.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
What do you get? What do you get from Pam
as the gift when you get back?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Uh, let's see, I find a way to monetize that, because,
as you say, you gotta find a way to monotize always.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And uh, then we would do we take a nice,
a nice weekend trip somewhere. Uh, just her and I
where I do whatever she wants me to do. Hey,
can you get yes, absolutely hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
What do you what do you need? I was gonna say,
can you get on the roof and clean the gun? Yes?
I can clean the guns.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
This is why we have services and teenagers in the
neighborhood or Zoe.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Uh, let's let's teach her some skills. Yeah. No, And
I would absolutely do that. I absolutely do.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Here, God, look at me doing the Fred Sandford.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm coming to join you, Elizabeth. I gotta explain the
millennials with the Fred Samford. Well, yeah, I'm coming to
join you. I'm coming to join it. Uh So, eighty
seven fifty six Lakers with lead midway through the third quarter.
We got more NBA on the way.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But you want a great hot take coming off a
Super Bowl Licks Always Yesterday sort of felt like the
end of the Chiefs dynasty right now, think about that
for a second, end of the dynasty where it's super
Bowls every year, the end of the not the end
of them being a good team, not the end of
(06:23):
them being a great team, but the end of the
dynasty where it's.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Super Bowl, super Bowl, super Bowl, super.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Bowl, super Because that's how dynasties end, right anytime you
see something like that in sports, where a team is
won for a long time, you see it end pretty
suddenly and severely. And the Eagles laid bare everything that
the Chiefs showed.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Maybe we're just not that great, And honestly, maybe the
AFC just isn't as good as the NFC. The AFC's
got they got great quarterbacks in the AFC, but boy,
the NFC seems like they have the better teams. Because
what the what the Eagles did was their defensive line
on a clinic. This is a really good Chiefs offensive line,
right Look, they're able to do always, always getting down
the field, always get the points to fourth quarter, and
(07:06):
the Chiefs defensive line ran rough shot over them. Travis Kelcey,
who has been Patrick Mahomes' biggest weapon. Yeah, we survived
the loss of Tyreek Hill because Travis Kelcey was still great.
How far back can you trace the decline of Patrick
Mahomes being the up and down the field video game
quarterback to when Travis Kelcey started looking like ages catching
(07:28):
up to him. He looks a little bit human. Kelsey
looks like he's done. He had no separation yesterday, throws
were at his feet. The playoffs should have been a
time for him to Really, I really thought he would
step up and have a big game.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Remember he's yelling at Andy Reid and.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
The super side sidelay Super Bowl last year about getting
the ball more. He looks like he's done, and the
Eagles back seven are able to control this game where
the Chiefs weapons could not get loose. Yes, Xavier Worthy
had a nice game, but someone's going to have a
nice game. And the biggest play Worthy had was when
the game was in You haet it. Oh, by the way,
(08:01):
you know, sixty yard touchdown in the final two minutes
of the game. Right, it's nice and Worthyes, it seems
like a good player and that's good news for the
Chiefs game finish to the regular season. So yeah, he
came on. Look at this Eagles team the way they
just absolutely dismantled the Chiefs. And I know the Chiefs
are gonna go into the offseason and say, well, we
gotta make moves, But you're making moves to try to
get a that's not stuff you just catch up on
(08:23):
with a couple of waves of the magic wand and
say well, this guy's gonna commit it. We're gonna be great.
This guy's gonna commit it, We're gonna be great. But
that's not how you do it. Mahome is getting paid
a lot of money now, and you are. Are you
where you gonna go get the next great tight end?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You get trade up for Ty Warren? I gotta go
get it. How are you gonna get that you've had?
Travis Kelsey has been the best tight end in the NFL,
probably one of the top five ends tight ends in
the NFL all time. Travis Kelsey. When it's all said
and done, you don't just replace that. That seems to
be the one weapon that the Chiefs can't do without.
So to say oh we're gonna replace that, we'll place
the offensive line not quite Man, not quite. And this
(08:59):
is a Chiefs team that now is built differently than
it was three years ago when they still had star
superstars going up and down the field.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yes, they have talent.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Obviously the Chiefs were a good team, but like Tiger
Woods at the end, when it fell off right away,
like the Warriors, where they get to the Fund, they
lose that final with Kevin Durant and suddenly Kevin Durant's gone.
You feel like that was the last night of the dynasty. Now,
the flip side of it and the sunnyside is can
the Chiefs win another Super Bowl for the back half
(09:27):
of Mahomes' career. Yes, I can see there being a
season where they put it together, a couple of upsets happen,
they have a good enough year, they go on the road,
their defense is good enough, they can win one more.
But just like the Warriors, say the dynasty was over,
but still they found a way in a year where
a lot of things went their way. Hey, we got
one more title out out of it, and that was
(09:49):
the true end of we're not winning anymore. And now
they're just trying to keep whatever they have going with
Stephen Draymond. So yes, I think the Chiefs can win
one more. But if you gave me the over under
for Chief super Bowls in the Mahomes era the rest
of the way, if you put it one and a half,
I'm taking the under. And I don't mean wins, I
mean getting the Super Bowl because the AFC nout. Look,
all the great teams in the NFCRE he told you
(10:11):
how great they are. All the teams in the AFC
are younger and getting better.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The Bills are younger and they're ascending. The Bengals are
younger and they're ascending.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The Broncos and the Chargers right behind them are younger
and they're ascending.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The Steelers could be a quarterback away from still being
a dominant team. The Ravens are younger and ascending. I mean,
this is a situation where it's not just where, hey,
we lost, we're back next year. It's all these teams
that were this close. And you spent all season long
showing everybody that maybe the dynasty was on its last legs,
because it was a lot of escapes, and it was
(10:43):
a lot of Chiefs poise winning games in the fourth quarter,
not blowing teams out. Yes, they won a lot of
games out. But again, that's how the end of the
dynasty goes. The dynasty ends right away. It doesn't end
with a decline where all, hey, the Chiefs were nine
and seven this year, then they were nine and eight.
This year they were eight nine. The dynasties end really quick,
really abruptly, and that's how it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Went last night.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Well, you watch throughout and you mentioned a lot of
the AFC squads that have the dominant quarterback, and that
will just go through the team element even in your
own division. Now the Raiders are what they are. We'll
see what they holds for twenty twenty five, who the
quarterback is, and what Tom Brady and all that shuffling
(11:25):
about does. Right, are they suddenly going to at least
be competitive to where they muddy.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Up the waters?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Well, we know both the Chargers and the Broncos are
very much that right. If we saw anything in Denver.
You've got a couple of really viable parts on the offense.
Still some work to do with your running back position, fine,
but bo Nick's Courtland Sutton, you've got something there. You
look at the Chargers. The infrastructure is there justin Herbert
(11:51):
wasn't asked to do a ton this year. You didn't
have the weapons. I'm gonna go out on a limb
and say they probably add a receiver or two to
go along with what is a really dominant offensive line.
Now the defensive line has the questions. We talk about
bos or whatever else. But all that to say, in division,
it's a tougher road. And this is where you get
into some of the reboot just because you've done it right,
(12:11):
you know, like the relationship thing. Hey, thirty years. You
know there's Rocky days, Yeah, Rocky weeks, right, nothing, four,
there's Rocky five, there's Rocky Man.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And then you get to Creed and you have no
idea Rocky and Bullwinkle, Sure, yeah, Morris and Natasha with
Robert de Niroz. I mean looks Rocky Colorvido. Yeah, yeah,
I got toldo Rockies.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Look at that you got Cleveland in for for tyser
Good for you. But all of that to say that
you've done it right before and you were able to
get right because it's the easy answer as well. After
they got their ass kicked by Tampa, you know, look
what they were able to do. It's like, okay, lightning
doesn't always strike twice right, that you don't suddenly get
like all those offensive linemen that might have showed a
(12:53):
little bit of age or out of sorts, maybe they're
that much worse next year, and that the guy you
try to bring in. There's money to be had all around.
And yes, you have the cell factor of Mahomes, legacy history,
Andy Reid's still there, all of those things. But to
say that you're suddenly gonna get that right in the
(13:13):
draft and all look at the Cubs, I mean, like,
I'll switch sports for a second. They got everything right
in their organization for about three years and they got
that title and then it all went to hell. All
those guys got hurt and they left and everything else
went a way. And it's not to say that the
Chiefs fall off a cliff, as you say, you still
have Mahomes, but as Mahomes the guns leader, they did
things by taking care of the football. What did he
(13:35):
not do on Sunday Jason Smith? Yeah, take care of
the football.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
What is take care of the football? Too? Terrible, no deal, Terrible.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Interceptions that put them behind the eight ball.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Because that's the thing. The defense at points didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Play terrible Yeah right, they didn't play terrible football, but
Patrick Mahomes absolutely obliterated you. So do we put them
on the Sam Donald Dais at least for this year?
Then it was really good for all of that time
until it wasn't. But yes, you can rise again, but
it's going to be harder.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
And on the other.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Side, Uh, those Eagles are gonna be waiting for you
at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, And look what do I say all the time,
because we're finding this now, not only just in sports
but in the world.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Just because something has.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Been good or been around forever doesn't mean it's always
going to be around. Right, Just because Toys r Us
was around forever doesn't mean Toys r Us is gonna
be around forever. It's not like just because the Chiefs
have always been really really great in Mahomes era doesn't
mean that's always gonna continue. And it's it's a it's
a tough time right now to say, Okay, we're just
gonna reload and keep it going. That's why last night
(14:40):
felt like this was the last Embers, the last the
last bit of noss. We had to try to get
us over the finish line, and they just didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well, and that's why they're singing Baby, that's cruise away.
But you got you gotta watch everything associated with the show.
But all of that to say, Jason, I mean Mahomes
had statistically, I mean, we're he was still creeping towards
four thousand yards, still had nearly thirty touchdowns. It's just
more uneven and Rashid Rice will come back. But guys
come back from big injuries. Do they always come back
(15:10):
one hundred? No, Travis kelce potentially. I mean you've got
Noah Gray. Noah Gray is not Travis kelce no I
any way stretch and like with Travis kelcey they get out.
If they cut him, they save seventeen million on their cap. Wait,
that's an awful lot of money to go find a
linement maybe to get some of those fixes, but you
still need to figure out.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That guy in the middle.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
See, if I was a writer and I travel, I
would steal the title from Buster Only and write a
book the Last Night of the Chiefs Dynasty and go
Last Night and do the whole thing that I think
I would.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It's a book.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I would still have the same cover, except that I
would have Rivera with with Mahomes's helmet. Hey, look, I
don't have a lot of money for all this, so
we're gonna just put my homes.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
You know though, I think if you gave Buster a
couple of bucks, you'd be okay, okay, because like, if
it's not owned by see this is where is it
the corporate entity that owns it and filed all the copyrights,
trademarks and everything's chiefs Dynasty.

The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon Live and the
Tirec dot Com Studios. Coming up next, someone we haven't
talked about yet that deserves a lot, maybe the most
credit for the Eagles Super Bowl championship and got I
feel someone who hasn't been talked about a lot today.
That's next right here. It's not Aaron, It's next Jason
(16:31):
and Mike. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
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
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike Harmon,
Rockets Owned the Dream Ad with Take Me home Country
roads the one I remember most from Sunday. Why because
Rocket's reminding us we all deserve a shot at the
American dream of owning a home. That's kind of a
big deal. Also a big deal. What is happening right
now at the Crypt The Jazz, looking to cut into
(17:07):
the Lakers lead in the third quarter have not done it.
One hundred to seventy three. Luca dunched his first game
with the Lakers. Going to the fourth quarter, yeh, every
Lakers starter is in double figures. They're shooting nearly sixty
percent from the floor. Luca's played twenty four minutes, fourteen points,
five rebounds, four assists, And we were told before the
(17:28):
game that it was gonna be kind of a minutes
restriction on lucas he hasn't played since December, still coming
back from the injury. Translation, Okay, we know he's gonna
look really tired, and we don't want that to be
the narrative that Luca really is out of shape. So
we're gonna say he's on a minutes restriction.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, no, no, that's it. But so far it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Doesn't look bad because none of the Lakers have had
to play all these minutes because they're winning by twenty
five going to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
The Utah Jazz playing dead at the crypt.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, I like that very nice here, you got very nice.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Because I mean other than a couple of little barrages,
I mean they had that seven zero run, there's still
down twenty.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, look, Luca's looked really good at the Lakers.
The thing about the LA and this is what the
biggest thing is, is that and this is a different
way to look at trades. Is that or a big move,
like whether you're firing a manager, you're making a trade
in the season. Is that Sometimes it's not about the
player but about the energy it brings to a team.
(18:34):
And the Lakers clearly have been a different team since
the nixt game last Saturday, which you can't tell me
they didn't know they were getting Luca. It was a
different game. They shot, They shot sixty percent from the floor.
Lebron Is Giddyon laughing after the game. You know he
knows they're getting Luca. He's wanted to play on the
long time. There's something to be said for the energy
that that gives a team, like when you fire a
(18:56):
manager in baseball, where it's Hey, okay, we have a
series against the bottom feeder team coming up, like the
White Sox, so let's fire the manager now because it's
a series we're likely going to win. Everybody gets on,
gets back in a great positive frame of mind, and
and and we feel good. But the energy of the
But what I see right now, it's not that Lucas
doing anything on the floor tonight, that's amazing, but the
(19:17):
energy of the trade, the energy of the Luca trade.
You can see it in the Lakers, and they have
done something that I didn't think was possible. And this
is over the course of your Look, the first they
trade D'Angelo Russlite's not working. We got to move on
from him. It's not working, or moving on from Anthony Davis,
where somehow found a way to bring in Luka doncich right,
which is a great move. We have the pieces that
we think we need. Yes, you take it on the
(19:39):
chin with the Mark Williams trade having to be canceled
because he felt as physical. But overall, yeah, I think
getting Luca the deadline is kind of like the Mets
getting soda whatever else. The rest of your off season
is I think you did okay, and That's what it is.
Right now, It's not just Luca, it's the energy of
getting Luca that you that you've seen the Lakers have.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
No they just splashed the graphic up as they end
the third quarter. Six eight games, they've scored at least
ninety points through three, right, little more efficiency, little extra
work on the offensive ends to make the extra pass,
to make the extra cut, and getting into a flow.
It's you know that confidence. We had several players around
(20:20):
that nixt game also talk about how giddy JJ Reddick
had been over the course of that day, even before
tip off. He either really likes New Yorker, as you say,
probably had a pretty good inkling. If not Luca, somebody
very large. Right, I'll give them the out that they
knew they had something in the Coffers tight jacket Rob
(20:41):
Polenka was going to work. But we also look at
one of the other little notes from this game, halftime
leads twenty six and four and finishing finishing the job. Now,
I don't know what their average lead is in that,
but I mean that's a pretty damn good sample size
(21:02):
when you talk about taking care of business, and for
all the handwringing, I'm certain to do about their defense
over the next couple of months. You know, you take
advantage of the schedule where it is and go out
and you slap these teams around, right, You work out
whatever wrinkles you want to add to your offense. You
get some more confidence and guys like for guys like
Jackson Hayes and others as they get their first reps
(21:25):
with Luca and you get to play some easy minutes
made from Lebron and Luca. I mean, this is the
best of all worlds. And yes, the schedule gods, lowercase
basketball gods, smile on them here with a couple of
games against the Utah so you can get a couple
of I don't know, preseason games like you're in college
football before you get the.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Conference play exit out a bout a Fresca exit swelling down.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon live from the
tyreq dot com studios.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
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 (22:05):
And something we're keeping an eye on here really fast.
Lebron James has just left the game for the Lakers.
He walks off the court, grimaces a couple of times,
points to his mid section, talks to medical personnel, and
he is now trying to stretch in the tunnel, potentially
to get back in the game, or maybe he's gonna
walk to the locker room again. Walked off the court
(22:26):
a couple of times, pointed to his stomach, talked to
a couple of medical personnel, walking into the tunnel, and
is up against the wall trying. It looks like he's
trying to stretch his stomach. Uh. And we'll have an
update on this as soon as we can, but that's
where it sits right now for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, he stood in trying to grab and get a charge,
so he took a lot of contact to the to
the mid section and fell like a house guard.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That would be the lateral collateral area of the mid section,
according to Grillamonde, waiting go monson, Yeah, the the abdominal
they made. Did Tony Garia have him in the abdominal stretch?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Well?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, man, Look and if we can get the word
solar plexus in all won.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I can't tell you that the fight I had with
one of my friends and any you know, when I
was young, I would have these. That's why I knew
I'd be a great sports talk radio host, is that
there are so many arguments I won that that people
would and all my friends who thought they were so
cool that would lose. Like my one friend who said,
what song you're listening to? Eminent Strut by the Who
It's Eminence Front. No, it's eminent strut. This is like
(23:26):
in the eighties when you can't just no, no, dude,
it's eminence. It's Eminence Front. No, it's evident struck. You
would talk about Jason Jason things, it's evidence.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Front, right, and then we find it. I'm right. He
doesn't say anything like I had a fight.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I luck, I had a knockdown, drag out an argument
with one of my friends at Tony Gia. It was
the abdominal stretch. No, it's the domino stretch. I go,
it's not the dominoes. What the hell is a domino stretch?
Like I I eat dominoes and I stretch.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
It's not. It's the abdominal stretch. No, that's not what
he's saying. No, No, you know, you go, Jason, You're.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Stupid yet No, it's the abdominal stretch. Then found a
Domino stretch. Oh it sounded like the domino stret much. Okay, great,
thanks a lot.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
The whole time you're doing that in my head. And
we had a couple of good live versions growing up.
My dad had a very eclectic and wide ranging record
collection put on. So you'd go from Jethrow Toll, just
a Merle Haggard to the who Zeppelin, maybe a little
(24:23):
bit of Sabbath, and then you go back and there'd
be a Dolly Parton.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Record like we like it was all over.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
And then to add some Sinatra and Dino to it,
I mean, just crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm pretty sure it's a rule that any time you
say eminence front in a group of people, someone has
to say.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
It's a put on someone absolutely. That's like when someone
says free bird, free bird, free bird.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Now, the guy we're not talking about enough coming off
the super Bowl, and it's weird because not a guy
that played us played a second is Aaron Rott.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
No, uh, what a great game he yet, happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But we're not talking enough about because we you know,
we talk about about people who are architects and build
teams and general managers, And I don't know, man, I
don't know if Howie Roseman might not be the best
GM in all of sports because he has been able
to as running the Eagles for basically the last twelve
(25:16):
or so years by himself, right, different different titles GM
than he was GM President of Operation.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
There they shut him down after the Chip Kelly stuff. Right, So,
but he's been basically been running the Eagles. You go
and you build a super Bowl team in twenty eighteen, right,
and you get there and you win and you beat
the Patriots, right, great phenomenal. Then you get back four
years later with an entirely new team like the Chiefs. Hey, yeah,
(25:43):
their dynasty's been great, but it's been a lot of
the same guys. Right, It's the same quarterback, it's the
same superstar tight end. This is all new guys, all
new guys, man.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All new guys you want with a backup quarterback against
the Eagles. And now here you are four years later
and it's entirely new team, new head coach, new everything
all right. Now, two years after that, we get back again,
and not only that, we get back with the same
head coach and the same quarterback, but different guys, look
what they did this year. You look at the list
(26:13):
of the players that they have brought in this year
who have been huge difference makers. Whether it's drafting cooperjen
whether it's Saquon Barkley, whether it's Makai Beckton, all these
players that they brought in in the last twelve months.
It's and they turned this into a super Bowl team,
Like you turned over probably half the starters a little
bit more from twenty twenty two, just to news right. Yeah,
(26:35):
you go from it from twenty eighteen to the Super
Bowl to an entirely new team four years later, new
head coach and everything, to half a new team two
years later, Like.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
How do you do that? And U and I yeah,
here all the time. Oh, it's just Howie Roseman's team.
They do whatever the hell he wants. He's a guy
calling the shots. So you could be mad at no.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I would let Howie Roseman call the shots from my
team all the time. If he can do that every
couple of years, we can reinvent. I mean even with
Sewan they yes, we're reloading on the fly, but it's
the same head coach and the same philosophers. I mean,
what the Eagles have been able to do from you know,
in the last six years, a new team and half
a new team and still it's three Super Bowls.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Rebooting coordinators on the fly. It'll be interesting to see,
I mean, because we know the restrictions and problems associated
with the New Orleans Saints' job, right cash strapped. Derek
Carr is your QB, A lave coming off a big injury.
Kamara an extra year older. You don't haven't done how
much flexibility that Sirianni went to the big podium right away.
(27:35):
It's like, how about we run it back? You know,
is it a better job and better opportunity to stay
and lay in wait instead of going to New Orleans.
We'll wait and see eagerly. In the interim, you had
fifteen of your twenty two starters acquired via the draft.
I mean, think about that, getting all of those right,
seven starters on offense, eight on d including two guys
(27:55):
that were up for Defensive Rookie of the Year this year.
Absolutely incredible from pillar to post and building the interior
and keeping the interior intact. And I know Lane Johnson
gets a lot of flowers as a teacher and as
one of the best linemen we've seen the last twenty
twenty five years, however long you've been watching football, But
(28:18):
you look at what the guts that they've had, and
sticking by Sirianni because the easy thing would have been
with the cacophony of voices nationally and certainly in Philly,
even though he's winning a lot of games, to go
and punt.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Look how quickly they moved on from Doug Peterson after
a Super Bowl. Right, So it's the kind of all right,
let's evaluate where we're at and where we're going and
how to build this thing. No, it's impressive as hell,
and Saquan was the icing on the cake.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Stay in division.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Gut the Giants, gut the Cowboys who decided they didn't
want in on the price of.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Poker, or just let the Cowboys do their thing and
they do their thing. We couldn't afford any of these players,
but you gave Dak Prescott the day before the season
started fifty five million dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No, didn't have the money for Dereck Henry, didn't have
the money, den money a lot of these guys so,
but but we paid Dak. Yeah, but you had Dak.
You had Dak, you could have cut, but you could
have brought another player. We had to pay c d Yeah.
And oh, by the way, now we may or may
not trade Michael Parcels. So hope you'll enjoyed the off season.
And then they hired Ken Dorsey today. How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is he gonna play quarter He
might back up Dak Prescott. I mean he always was
pretty good into Miami.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Although I think I have a better arm than Ken Dorsey,
Now I really think I do you do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Ken Dorsey had a touch. Are we talking you know,
are we talking with Duke or are we talking? No?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
No, junior Duke, junior Duke. Yeah yeah, junior figure.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, I could sling it, okay, as long as it's
so we can get a rule of dendem that you
get to you like, you know what the quarterbacks used
to fight about inflation, you know, even inflating and deflating
a football before it became a big thing. Uh, you
get to uh get a couple of junior dukes cycled
in you you know, you want a thing, you know,
And I didn't know this was like always, you know,
my arm I always had this a big long wine up.
(30:04):
That was my thing where you know, I was always
a quarterback when I was a kid, and now in
the last like a couple of years, you know, whenever
I throw football, it's like, oh, it's kind of tough,
kind of tough. So this year, this past fall, my
daughter played flag football and she was she was a quarterback.
And so I went out to have a ketchro. I'm like,
I had to be able to have a catch. And
I said, you know, I wonder if this I want
to catch so much, so you didn't. And I held
(30:25):
the football like Jeff George who would put his finger
on the top of the ball. Brett and I started
throw the football at that. I'm like, oh my god,
this is like the fountain of youth. I'm like, I
could really throw like I don't know what it is,
but I could just spin it so much. And I'm like,
I should have just done this from the beginning. I
could just get give a nice little just cock my
elbow and just a fool. I'm going, Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
I'd really like to see you try to be elusive
in the pocket. I you also said have a catch,
you throw the ball. Yeah, you have a catch.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, okay, so now she's going down the football route.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
No, she just wanted to play. She just wanted to
play for and and just play for a year. It
was the first on the Gaviny bounties on the side. Yeah,
little hat and the other dads, and you had the
towel with the numbers of the other players on the team.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Line like that.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Look at you exit out out of Fresca exit swelling down.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (31:33):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from Thetirack
dot Com Studios. I'll be putting a bow on Luca's
first game as a Laker coming up at about ten minutes.
Lakers lead the Jazz one twenty seven to one to
oh two with about three minutes to go of.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
The fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
But this from from the Super Bowl right, because it
was a couple of weeks ago we talked about how
many real superstar quarterbacks that are in the NFL, and
that is quarterbacks who win games by themselves that elevate
the players around them. They can win with big weapons,
they can win without them, but you win or lose,
(32:08):
you win games with them more so than you do. Hey,
we have a really good roster and a quarterback and
go out and make plays. I really was salty when
you made me take Sam Darnold list. And the four
guys that were on this list going into this year
were Mahomes and josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow.
These were the guys. These were the four guys that
could do that at the highest level. We added Jayden
(32:30):
Daniel to that because that's kind of who he was.
Even though it's been one year, he has shown that
he is that guy. So there were five after yesterday
and Jalen Hurts winning the MVP, winning the Super Bowl,
Jalen Hurts is going to be on that list for
next season.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Are you reacting to that commercial?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
What he was able to do yesterday the second time
on the biggest stage. He's a guy that's nearly won
the MVP. He has had a really terrific start to
his career, but yesterday it was different. He was calm,
He was in control his decision making outside of the
interception early, which is which is a bad throw and
a bad decision, everything he did was incredible, the poise,
(33:12):
whatever it was. The game was really slowed down for him,
and it was a game where they needed him because
Saquon Barkley couldn't find anything. You see the frustration on
Barkley every time he didn't run for a touchdown like
you could tell like a four yard like. I felt
like he was trying to take every ball all the
way and you can't do that. But the way that
Jalen Hurts ran the offense, ran when he had to
(33:35):
throw when he knew it was the right call to make,
making the big throw for the big touchdown dagger that
put the game out of reach after a turnover. Jalen
Hurts is that good and seeing the way that he's
able to perform under the brightest lights and really just
have the game slowed down for him, because that's really
what I saw from Yet there was no instances of
(33:59):
he doesn't know where to go with the ball. He's
throwing a little bit too soon, Like I think he's
it looks like he has come into his own as
a quarterback and having this the resume you have so
far that you're still young, you're still in your mid twenties. Yeah,
he's gonna be. He's gonna be in that list of
six now true superstar quarterbacks the NFL that he wins
games by himself, he wins with good weapons around him,
(34:21):
he wins when they play well. He's he is that
guy on that list. Now, well, this is where it
gets fun. Right, He's six and what six and three
in the playoffs, two great super Bowl games, and he
is forty six and twenty in the regular season. And
what folks will immediately talk about is the stats aren't gaudy, right,
(34:42):
So that's what so like he's on that.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
For me, I want to see what that offense looks
like next year. Right, Saquan had his two thousand thousand
yards behind the offensive line, and we start parsing like
all the greatness to it, and then it's like, okay,
Jalen Hurts was more or less the ring leader is
how it's been. It's no, no, the guys still need to
disturb the drink, right, you still need to have to
respect the passing game and his legs, because I think
(35:07):
that got diminished a little bit. Yeah, the Toush push touchdown,
but he made a couple of back breaking runs. Oh yeah, right,
and Saquon Barkley there but seventy two yards rushing. By
the way, the two props we had with Sakon Barkley
both the unders hit.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, four and a half first rush four yards. I know,
I was so mad. I wanted to text Yard. I
wanted to text him for it.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
And then as we talked with Todd Furman, it was
the under twenty four and a half for the longest rush.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, never gat him close.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Oh so all of that to say, but for Jalen Hurts, yeah,
you colored me intrigued.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
The guy's a winner like that.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
That's the thing that comes out of all of this,
and you know, you get the nice bookend with some
of the here's a touchdown pass to DeVante Smith and
now waiting to see what the next iteration of this
squad is right and how much teams have to react
and whether you can slow down the run game to
where it's on his arm more because regular season eighteen
touchdowns five picks ain't gonna get people excited. It's gonna
(36:07):
be a harder sell. But tell you what be great
in big games. Maybe you'll get to the Hall of Fame.
Oh wait, Eli didn't yet exit.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
How about a Fresca exit swollen dome Jason Sith Mike
Harmon live from the tire rack dot Com studios, coming
up next. Yes, we look back and tell you the
big things to know from Lucas first game as a Laker.
