(00:53):
So ahead of the deadline, where are we gonna find
out who's gonna get franchise tagged or not? We found
out to Higgins of the Bengals is tagged again. Everybody
getting all up in arms about that, ex players or whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's like you signed this CBA, shut up.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So franchise two years Agow you're gonna make a lot
of money, man, You'll do well where it comes is
if they'd go for the third, then you get into
bonus territory and forty four percent. You're talking about for
two years, you're making the average of the top five
wide receivers at the position. It's like signing a two
year deal and getting top five money when you're not
(01:30):
a top five receiver. So understand that, Hey, yeah, I
get that you don't like the franchise tag, but you're
getting this money.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, it's the curiosity of the marketplace and whether you
could sign the long term deal and get a giant
signing bonus. I get it to a point. But in
the end, so many have argued it was like it
only affects so many people, So it's like, right, but
you guys collectively bargain that in So at some point
you had a bunch of dopes together with Demorris Smith
(01:58):
as you sat and argued this, and you decided this
was good. While you gave up something probably pretty substantive
on the other side, guess what, it ain't going anywhere,
So that you basically have said to your top players, yeah,
you're kind of screwed, but we get extra putting in
the snack snack case.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I mean just think about it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
If you're t Higgins, it's like, okay, let me go
back to before last year, where I can say to you, Hey,
how about two years and fifty one million dollars? Oh okay,
I take that. Okay, great guaranteed like you're getting all
the money. You're getting all the money, right because that's
what that's what last year was. That that's what last year.
This year right around twenty five million dollars. I mean,
that's not about I'm sorry. I don't feel bad for you.
(02:39):
If that's the case, that's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I don't know. It might be tough, might be tough
man hell of a family if they they need more
than that.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But we know one guy that apparently is not going
to get the franchise tag at a Tuesday's four pm deadline.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Nice. Can you say that again?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Like Mary who is not you are not getting franchise yay?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Aaron Rodgers? Let me know.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Uh. Sam Darnold is unlikely to be franchise tagged ahead
of the deadline tomorrow. This according to ESPN's Adam Schefter,
the Vikings now wait for it, They're still interested in
working to re sign him, but is likely to be
without any tag Okay, now the first flip side. If
you're the Vikings, you're like, hey, wait a minute, looking
(03:26):
for the Vikings perspective, Hey, why are they doing this? Well,
maybe they know that Donald doesn't have a lot of
suitors in free agency and he really liked it here,
and we'll come back and we'll get him for less money,
and boy, we're gonna really solidify our quarterback room because
if JJ McCarthy sinks, we can go back to Sam Donald,
maybe we'll get him for like three years and forty
five million. That'd be awesome and it sounds great, But
then you look at you, Sam Darnald and go, why
(03:48):
the hell would you ever go back there? I can
either go back to the Vikings where they want to
go to the other quarterback. Okay, like you like me,
but they like him as a Hey, you're kind of
a security blanket. He had a great year last year, right,
thirty five touchdowns, four thousand yards passing, best year is
a pro. Right, Hey, but we still only like you
so much. The Vikings if they bring him back, yes,
(04:10):
they can put this sham quarterback derby out there, but
they want to go to JJ McCarthy. Right, you've heard
Kevin O'Connell all the entire offseason. We love Sam, but boy,
we really love JJ McCarthy. I want to go to
JJ McCarthy. And part of this for the Vikings is, hey,
if we lose Sam Donald, we lose him where at
least we're done with this sticky situation, because it would
be sticky if we still have Donald and McCarthy and
(04:32):
how we're going forward. At least now it's a clean break.
They go forward with JJ McCarthy Donald, Right, But if
you're Donald, you're saying, hey, I could go back to
the Vikings where they like me.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I like my experience there, players all like me. I'll
get a fear.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Or I could go to another team who's gonna give
me a lot of money, and I'm gonna start Gee,
I know what I would do if the money would
be it's gonna be more from another team. All he
need is one team. There's gonna be one team that
wants Sam Donald that's gonna say, hey, okay, how about
two years and fifty million, y'all come on back, Sam,
we love you. There's gonna be a team that does it,
(05:06):
that's gonna want him, that's gonna more importantly, say you're
coming in as our starter. Now, maybe it's a one
year starter thing, because if Darnold goes falls on his face,
he's back to being a backup. But you still have
that chance this year of being a starter. Will you
go back to Minnesota? You know it's a fixed competition
that's gonna eventually end with you losing the job somehow. Well,
and you know wherever you go, they're they're bringing in
(05:28):
another guy. I mean automatically, right you all of.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
A sudden, I had the big breakthrough after several stops. Again,
we're trying to figure out what the statute of limitations
is to ex jet to where that is fully dissolved,
kind of like when you take a medication.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Am I out of my contagion space at this point?
Now I'm free? So Sam is in that point. But
he's not been out very long.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
And we saw him against the Lions and against the
Rams look less than average. He was terrible and in
those four games over the course of the year. So
for the Vikings, they get the advantage of hey dollar
cost averaging. All right, we're not paying JJ McCarthy very much,
and if physically he can't do it and then he
gets on the field and he can't do it. Well,
(06:15):
we've got Sam, Well, are you satisfied with putting on
a baseball cap and holding a clipboard and saying, well,
I'm gonna collect a decent check here, But I'm not
really maximized, Like you got to this level of your
profession and out there wherever you're listening, however you're listening
whatever you do for a living in theory, you're busting
your ass trying to do the best you can. Right
(06:36):
for Sam Darnold to suddenly just say, you know what,
it'll be okay here. I might start a couple games
and throw to Justin Jefferson. Jefferson like, I don't know
who my quarterback is, can't wait to catch balls from
whoever it is. Right, If that's not the most damning
quote of I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They don't tell me anything.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But you got the Raiders and as soon as Matthew
Stafford came off the board, everything's in play.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You have the downgrades by some people, anonymous sources, and
maybe you're trying to muddy the waters when it comes
to Shador Sanders and or cam Ward in terms of
their viability to come in and play right away.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But what's the rest of the free agent class at quarterback.
It's terrible. It's it's just.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Awful of the wishing, wanting, hoping of reclamation projects, you know,
like Sam Darnold, who just got saved.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I'm telling you, man, just watch you're going to see
as we get closer now to free agency, which is
coming up in a few days and then the draft. Right,
what did we see over the course of the past
four to five days at the combine? The quarterbacks at
the top of the draft may be sliding down a bit, right,
(07:46):
Maybe you know, Shador Sanders, cam Ward might not be
going as highway. He saw the report today that an
unnamed executive said Shador Sanders was cocky and arrogant, and
maybe that didn't play well. We'll get to that in
a few minutes. But what no matter what you see that, hey,
nothing came out of the last few days. It tells
you cam Warden Shador Sanders solidified their spots at the
(08:07):
top of the draft, right, And no team is represents
this more than the Giants, who are thinking we're gonna
get one of these guys at the top three. Because
the Titans look like they might go for for Abdul Carter,
they might go for Travis Hunter, which would leave one
of the quarterbacks then, and the Giants are saying, hey,
we're gonna give Matthew Stafford this money.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Hey we're gonna go get Aaron Rodgers. Hey we might go.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So the fact that Giants are sitting here saying, hey,
we're going, we may be looking at other things tells
you those quarterbacks are falling. Now the other quarterbacks might
be rising a little bit. Kyle Mccaorror Jackson Dart, the
guys that had really good combines. Jalen Milrose Shook is
a big boomer bus type player.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But it's got much bigger. Do you see that?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well you do the hand stretching and you used to
hold your hand stretching.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, it's a big thing.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
First they also had a thing the reach of all
the offensive linemen dropped.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, So somewhere in the measuring of all this we
get problem. Man, we got noise day. I'm gonna give
you a little bit extra rinthy. I'm gonna give you
extra half an inch between your fingers and your hands.
Okay about that. That's great.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So we'll work out with you in all walks of life.
It's not gonna help them. They look at video that
Bowl game against Michigan, So.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's all right, I'll give you an extra give you
extra half inch on your hands. So those guys are
moving up a little bit. So potentially we could see
McCord Dart maybe at the end of the first right,
you could see that. But now the other quarterbacks, the
free agent guys that everybody's been kind of lukewarm towards
because yeah, I'm not a big fan of these guys.
(09:34):
I'm not a big We're gonna go to the draft. Hey,
there's all these quarterbacks in the draft. We like suddenly
it's wait a minute now, So the guys at the
top may not go at the top. Yeah, we still
don't like them. Yeah, we may not get We can't
bank on getting one of these guys that we're gonna
move up in the first round. For like, we're not
gonna take Colin McCord at number ten, but we know
he's not gonna be there at number forty, So what
(09:55):
are we gonna do? So so many teams now who
are gonna feel stuck? Stuck because we're not gonna still
not gonna get the guys at the top that maybe
we don't want to draft that high. We have no
idea how we're gonna get a second or third round court.
You know, a guy like McCord or or Dart. So
now suddenly interest level in Darnald, Justin Fields and Daniel
(10:17):
Jones are gonna go way way up. And these guys
are gonna get better deals than you think because these
are the three best guys out there, and they all
share the same traits. They've all flashed at some point
in their careers. They've all gotten to a point where
you've seen them succeed. Yes, they've gotten run out of
town where they've been, but they're all so young. These
aren't It's not like trying to make it work with
(10:38):
Russell Wilson at thirty six, thirty seven, Aaron Rodgers at
thirty eight. You're saying, hey, these are all guys who
are still mid twenties. We might be able to strike
it big with these guys. Suddenly, hey, these three guys
become way more valuable and you're gonna see teams go
in and they're gonna sign very early in free agency.
Daniel Jones will get a big deal, and so will
Sam Darnold, and sobel Justin Fields, and maybe for that's
(11:00):
returning to Pittsburgh where he you know, he gets to
keep the job being familiar with the offense. But still, hey,
some team come out and say, oh no, no, we
really like Justin Fields. We're going to actually give money,
because Pittsburgh, we know you don't want to get anybody money.
We're going to actually give him money and then take
them from you. So watch those three guys are going
to really start seeing their values explode over the next
(11:21):
few days.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, what'll be the curiosity is how long Atlanta wants
to play the game of charades with Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
They will play it because look, they're on the hook
for a lot of money. They're gonna play this as
long as they have to. I don't think there was
any coincidence that very early in the off season process
you heard the Falcons say we're okay with him being
our backpack up. He knows we told him you're in
the backup. We're okay with him. Now he's not okay
with being the backup.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Which is why I talked about being hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, this is this is this is part of we
will play chicken with this as long as we can,
because boy really want to get out from under this money.
Which again, oh, who told you a year ago it
was gonna be really bad for the Falcons in the
off season. Oh, we did, That's right, we saw this coming.
But they will wait as long as they can before that. Like,
I don't think for a second they will have any
(12:10):
any thoughts about not carrying him through free agency, keeping
him on the team, waiting for a team to say, okay,
let's figure something out for Kirk Cousins and they figure
out the money.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, or wait for somebody to get hurt and get
desperate things on last thing to circle back, he went, well,
there's always screw that guy.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He had his chance to come and he was like, oh,
I'm just gonna use the Jets and the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
No, screw that man to come back. That's almost killed Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Everybody everybody out is it just a thing that basically
everybody out here in free agency is connected to the Jets.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We had Sam somewhere.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Kirk Cousins use this as leverage, and you know the
Jets are gonna sign Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Wash, Yeah, Daniel Jones. The interesting one right.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Doing the Sunday Show during the football season with Bucky Brooks,
he brought up the fact that, well, maybe Kevin O'Connell
thinks he can fix him like he.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Did Sam Darnold.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So they try to find a way in a number
that may make sense to just keep in there as
McCarthy becomes whatever he does for twenty twenty five. Curiosities
all around, But watch out, Sam Darnold. I could go
back to the vikings where I'm going to be a
backup at some point or someplace where I can start.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, I gus hard to say a pirate. You totally
know he's skiing with Brady and Montana.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, Brady's got to get somebody, doesn't he.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I hope not. I mean, he's oh for right now.
He's out for everybody, any of the guys that are
on their list so far.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
He's out for GMS, he's out for head coaches, he's
out for the quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
He's over him.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
But I mean, you talked about the foothold being lost
here in la as the Raider image is going to
close there in the Universal City Walk.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Brady's only for two. Yeah, Brady, Brady's taking overhs Man.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, but you're talking about two huge brands that are
taken incoming left and right.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Here's game on Shallow May Shana May. Evidently a pretty
good uh hooper? Was Was there a Was there a
real midnight game at Veterans Park?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I did not admit I made it getting in the car,
but I was actually in a movie theater. Shan Jason
dressed like you think you're out of Sandler dude. Adam said, Hey,
that's Adam Sandler.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Your sweater is probably not as coffee as his. It's
pretty tame, Am, I comfy sweater. What are you gonna do?
Shat him? May Shallow May.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
He wears that all the time. Yeah, all the time.
That wears the same thing, long basketball shorts. He's always
coming off the court. Yeah, he's always always.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But like he was wearing last night, like I don't
know if you saw, but like he's wearing the basketball
shorts and he had the hoodie on, but he had
like a Hawaiian shirt hunter.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It like you're not playing basketball in Hawaiian. Why not?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't think decided. I mean that was the uniform
for the No, you don't do that easy enough though. No,
this is me expressing my flare. No, I just feel like, Okay,
if you're really going to sell the bit that, hey
I'm gonna, you know, play basketball, you're not wearing a
Hawaiian shirt, tell.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Adam Seler how to sell a bit.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm dumb, dumb, I'm telling you. I don't think Adam
Sandler was dressed down enough. He could have been, he
could have been, could have been treutsed down. Actually more
to do that bit on the Oscars. It's a good
bit though, Oh, I mean go to O'Briant did a
hell of a job. Yeah, you thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Okay. First takeaway from the Oscars last night? Was it unbelievable?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did some of the bits fall flat?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Was it still long?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But the bed the biggest takeaway, the most the biggest
thing for me is that it looks like the Oscars
are on track again to be fun where they weren't fun.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
For a long time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
When we're having I mean, obviously COVID shows up and
and and it looks really awkward and they have in
the you know, in different and like it looks like
a like the Golden Globes are having it at like
in a restaurant. And it was really like fun was
not something that was really pushed and it was like, hey,
guess what, you know what it was fun? Conan was
having fun. The jokes were fun. Uh you know, even
(18:13):
when he brought out the uhh the firefighters and the
guy does the joke people who lost their homes.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We're talking about the producers of Joker too. I was like,
oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Everybody in the stance is like the crowd is like,
oh do I laugh? Because wait, do I laugh? But
we haven't had anybody to do that since Jervais. You
get it at the Golden Globes. Globes people forget about
that that Remember, the Oscars are supposed to be fun
and you need somebody fun who's hosting it to do
fun stuff? And look, jim Jimmy Jimmy Kimmels, you know,
does a really good job. But overall the tone needs
(18:45):
to be more fun. You can be serious, and last
night it was it was great.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
He he went from we're having fun too, I'm gonna
be serious here for a minute and talk about you know,
here's the real heroes, and the and the fire department
all comes out and everybody was really happy to see
them standing over and you go back to doing fun
like you can do it. But it's gotta be fun.
It's got to be a fun watch. Like why Oscars
viewers are dwindling over the last few years is that
it's just not as much fun. I want a fun thing.
(19:12):
I want to be able to sit back for three
and a half hours and riff on what people are
wearing and what they're saying, and make fun of the
movies that I haven't seen, because come.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
On, you're nominating ten movies. You can't give us stuff
that most of us have seen, right. I want to
do that.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I get that's part of the Oscars, And it just
seems like now I feel okay with their getting back
to that because what people are the Oscars is a
television show, right, And we say that about sports all
the time, Right, why do these teams get picked for
the NCAA tournament? Well, why does Syracuse always get in
when they're on the bubble Because it's a television show
and Syracuse is good television, and Bayim was good television.
It's better than Monmouth getting in. They're better television. Sports
(19:47):
a television show, and people forget the oscars. It's a
television show and now and it needs to be fun
because people like the movies. It's escapism.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
It's why we go.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I don't watch movies to be upset or to people
shake my finger at me, go, this is really bad
thing that happened.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
But yeah, I understand that. I don't need to watch
a movie about it. It was really bad. I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I understand. I want to be entertained, entertain me with stuff.
And now I feel like, okay, maybe they're getting back
to that. I don't know if Conan does it again,
but they're getting.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Back to it. Yeah, would seemed like he would get
another shot.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I mean, my favorite bit was the we took a
bunch of cell phones and we put them together to
create one giant screen.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Here's how you put him in here. It was a
good little bit.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
But all of that to say, like, we get a
bunch of these movies. I mean a couple of these
have been streaming for two months ago. Oh yeah, yeah, right,
and given the way and theatrical runs, and that's a
big fight in the background.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And I just it's a long, long, arduous process.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
To get to this of how long do things stay
in the theaters because once you actually start getting some
Oscar run, well, guess what, there's other movies coming out, so.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Maybe they don't go back into theaters and whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Else to say, Okay, well this is gonna be an
Oscar nominated movie, so I'm gonna go back to theater.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, it's on my cow, I'm gonna see it.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So you're not hitting the same revenue, streams, word of mouth, whatever,
because the investment isn't there. Right, it's second screening while
you're watching something and all of that. But the thing
is the rooting for the movies that we used to
do in the past that's not coming back now like
it used to be. The five nominations, we're like, oh
my god, I'm I want this one. This was the
best movie I saw this year. But now they've decided
(21:21):
we're going to nominate ten, and we're going to nominate
a lot. You know, most of the movies or movies
that either you have to try to you had to
really try to see them, notings like you had to
you had to know try. Yeah, I mean, and I
get that we want they want to reward movies that
take risks because I love that. But that's what's gone
(21:41):
is the rooting for a movie because I remember, you know,
get to the in the turn of the century into
the early two thousand movies, I'm rooting.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I want this movie to win.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So oh, I can't believe this movie the lot like
I remember that, but that's gone, right, so you can't
give me that. The best thing the Oscars gave me
last night is I didn't see it, but I'm interested
now to see Hoora. Of all the movies I didn't see,
and I saw about half of them, the movies that
didn't get nominated, I'm excited to see Anora now. Like
kind it's kind of a gritty rom com. I'm like, okay, great,
I kind of want.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
To see it.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In John Liftgow, well, dude, the John Lithgow meme is
gonna live forever. Like that was unbelievable. I thought that's
gonna be every single meme now, like instead of the Denzel.
Oh I when I saw someone trending in the Denzel
when he when he touches his chest, like, oh my goodness,
like the Lithgo meme is gonna what's what's gonna live now?
Because just him just tearing at the camera, you know,
pushing pushing out his bottom lip was really great. Now,
(22:31):
it was terrific.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I think I saw half of the movies, and in
Nora was one. I saw a number of trailers and
at no point that I say, man, I need to
see that film.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, But now that it won, I'm like, okay, so
many people liked it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Had I like Mikey Madison and screamed, no, she's you know,
I mean she did a couple of things where you
and they said that's how they cast her because we
saw her in these movies and said, yeah, that could
that works. And the one bald guy I thought for
a long time was Corey stall Not Corey Stall. No
looks a lot like him, Not Corey Stole. I was okay,
I was okay with that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
We met a lot of new people last night, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And now and now the biggest thing, obviously, the biggest
contours because still was going on today was rob Right,
Timothy Shallomey got robbed for Best Actor.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I think if they voted again.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
After Adrian Brodie's speech, they would give it to Timothy Challamey,
but it seemed like everything was coming up Chalamey, right,
I mean at the beginning of the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Is all about him.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Shouta May, shout to May, and you know, Conan making
fun of his outfit. You sent me the man with
the yellow hat. That was a good meme of him
holding curious George's hand, So is George. It's a Jenner curse. See, hey, George,
what do you think of Timothy shallow May? Mike Mike's
on the something George? Oh, George, did you see I'm
(23:45):
a complete unknown.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He's twenty nine. He's twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And what probably hurt him in this because complete unknown
started to get a little bit of momentum.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
But when you.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, Kylie Jenner, I can't vote for him now. I
think what probably hurt him, To be honest, to be
a movie geek for a second, is that when everything
else is nominated for it, and you have a Best
Supporting Actress nominated, Monica Barbara Best Supporting Actor and Edward
Norton and you're nominated and the movie is not, and
(24:24):
the movie is nominated it's it kind of takes away
from your power in the role. Where Okay, was he
really great or was it just a really good movie?
Because look at where the nominations are. Because I thought
for a while that was gonna wind up sneaking in
the back door and winning Best Picture, because that got
a lot of momentum.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But a Nora got all the late momentum. But I thought,
you're coming off.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
It's nominated for Best Picture, you got Best Actor, Best
Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor. This is gonna win. But
sometimes you're an actor, you get a little bit overshadowed.
Clearly he's a star power and he was terrific in it.
But I think that's kind of what it is, is that, well,
here's a whole thing. Well maybe the whole movie is good. Yeah,
I don't know if i'd vote. I don't know if
Shallow may really stands out whereas a movie like The
Brutalist when Adrian Brody wins, and he kind of won
(25:08):
the same way he won for The Pianist because he
was in every frame of the movie, right, Like, he
is in every single frame of the movie, and he
emotes great, and he has sand faces and and he's
a really good actor, and you know, twenty years later
he kind of won in the same type of formula,
so I get why he won, whereas Shallow may was hey,
you played.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's almost like the situation with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, right,
they both had great years but boy Lamar, but Josh
Allen did it with a little bit less. Some more
people voted for him for MVP than Lamar Jackson, who
had a great running back to not to have a
couple of good receipts. You know, they had a much
better team around him, so maybe he doesn't get the votes,
where boy Josh Allen didn't have as much around him,
Timothy Shallow, they had a lot around him outside of
(25:48):
the Brutal, which not a lot of people saw the Brutalist,
but because of his performance was so good that got
a lot of the attention.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Yeah, Brutalist. Domestic box office fifteen million dollars unknown seventy two, Yeah,
world wide one hundred and ten. But you know all
of that what I think is interesting with it. Conclave
got a bunch of money late, Yeah for Best Picture. Yeah,
guy that lucky who was on with with Hartman which
(26:15):
he's been doing Oscar picks forever. That was his upset special.
So if you if you got in on that.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
You lost.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
But that's like a modern day Training Day where Training
Day was one of the best movies I've ever seen
until the last fifteen minutes. Yeah, when I'm like, oh, now,
because you know, let's give Denzela's moment and all that.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I didn't like it when he shot him in the asse.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
That just that just the movie should have ended with
the bathtub Like whoa, I can say it now it's
twenty years Like they should have killed Ethan Hawk's character
and he gets away with it, and I'd be like,
that's the most amazing ending because the movie was so good,
because Denzel was so good, Ethanoff was so good. This
movie was incredibly good. But you know, end with the
bathtub scene instead of, oh I just so happened to
(26:57):
save your cousin earlier today. Oh wow, Oh that's grave. Yeah,
I mean that was a bad But the same thing
for Conclave. I'm like, wow, Conclave is building to such
this great momentum, and you know, all the car bombs
going off outside while they're trying to look the Pope
and I'm like, oh my god, and then it takes
this big left turn and I'm like, I'm saying to myself,
that's how it's gonna end. It's gonna end that way.
(27:18):
Great cast too, right, lift goal HENI was fantastic. She
was it for like eight How was she nominated? She
did it for like eight seconds, but they were trying
to go silence in the lamb.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
She was one scene. I know it was like thirty
seconds long.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
But I come the long circular way to get back
to the Best Actor. There were several people that said
they didn't vote for Ray Fines because they thought he woned.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I know, did that swing it? Get and kill off?
Shallow may? Did that do it?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I don't want to give Shalomega's fourth out of he's
never been nominated before.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
No, I know he's won because he was.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Actually the same because the otherwise he's too young. Well,
he's the same age Brody was when he won. Yeah,
he won, and he got the big smooth from Alley.
If he stood out more in that movie. You're still talking, guys,
I'm still going don't play me. He would have won
if he stood out more. Now, speaking of standing out,
let me just say this because we said this a
(28:11):
few weeks ago, and it's it's coming it's it's continuing
to come true. Another incredible night for Shake Guilders. Alexander
fifty one points has a thunderbeat the Rockets one thirty
seven to one twenty eight. He's now has four fifty
point games this season. Nobody else in the NBA has
won all these fifty point games in the last two months,
so all of a sudden, he's just he's just stacking
(28:33):
fifty point games. I get that Jokic is having another
triple double, he's having a great season, but it's like Shack.
We've seen Shaq do do his thing. Either Shaq's gotta
win MVP every year or you give it to him
once he doesn't win again, which is what they did.
But I get Jokic just having a good year. I'm sorry,
Shake Guilders. Alexander has the Oklahoma City Thunder at the
(28:54):
top of the Western Conference and a team that's really good.
He stands out so much so and he's led his
team to a higher level. Because the award is MVP,
it's not Player of the Year, it's MVP, and Jokic
has his team in the thick of things in the
Western Conference. But he's got you know, other all all
NBA type players on the team too. Went when Murray
(29:15):
is healthy, but Gildess Alexander has his team at the top.
It's one of the top three teams in the NBA.
That's the MVP. We told you a month or so
ago he was gonna win it, and he's gonna win
it now.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
He's sitting at before tonight's game minus five fifty, jokicet
plus three fifty.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Ready for the next two guys on the list? Is
Luca next?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
No, what do you mean? Big Bodega's next? Who's more
valuable to their team right now than Luka? Doncris, Big Bodega.
You're gonna keep selling it.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Quenton Rimes Jannis at two hundred and fifty to one, right,
but two hundred fifty to one, and then fourth is
Jason Tatum at three hundred one. So two hours race
and down the stretch they come and they is a
wide gap. This is basically you really have to stumble
and fall for the final quarter. You have to you
(30:07):
have to not play the games. Yeah, that's you have
to do. You have to miss the game miss one,
you can't he only played sixty four.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
No no oh, the horror exit out about a Fresco
exit swollen Dome. Another night, another great performance by Shaye
Gilders Alexander. Time out to talk to a guy to
find out what's trending. Who's been called the Shay Gilders
Alexander Sports Radio spent his rookie year at the Clippers.
They said, yeah, we don't need you, we could trade you,
and now look where he is. Great performances night after night.
(30:35):
It's Steve de said, what didn't you say in the
first hour? Never trade the young NBA star? Maybe that
applies to maybe to this. By the way, before we
get to SGA's night, I looked it up. Isabella Rossellini
apparently had eight minutes of screen time. I think that's
too generous. I don't even think she was on it
for that. I think her longest scene where she actually
spoke was like thirty five in the.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Screen time.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah total. Actually, when I saw her, I said, really.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
She's not okay the record though, be it sure Straight
Network one best supporting actors. She was on screen for
about five minutes, but she could really tell off William Holden.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Okay, how this madness.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
The Brutalist is listed as having a running time of
three hours and thirty five minutes, including an intermission, So
maybe that was appropriate with the long speech.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And also that too. I mean, I told you how
long Wicked is? Right, Wicked is so incredibly Look and
that's only the first half.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
It was still going. On the beginning of the Oscars.
You saw that they had only gotten up.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
To define grab it did a really nice she got
to join in progress the Oscars to show.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Okay, the Wicked is so long.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
The Oscar speeches, they asked the people, you know, if
you win, come up, keep it to about forty five seconds.
Adrian Brodie was about five forty five last night.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
He was.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
He's still going.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
It's apparently the new Oscars record. By the way, the
ad Week news for last night saying the Nielsen Fast
National TV ratings estimate eighteen million viewers last night compared
to about nineteen million that they were getting the previous
couple of years.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
In the NBA.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
At Oklahoma City tonight, the thunder now fifty and eleven
as they beat Houston one thirty seven to one twenty eight.
Shay Giljis Alexander fifty one points, seven assists. He was
eighteen of thirty from the floor. This OKC team just
won last night at San Antonio one forty six to
one thirty two. Rocket center alpa and Schengoon was out
(32:25):
with a bad back. At Dallas, Kyrie Irving left early
with what's called a knee sprain. Sacramento easily beat the MAVs.
Detroit dominated at Utah, wins for Portland and Miami. Golden
State won at Charlotte one nineteen one oh one. The
Hornets have lost seven in a row. Atlanta won its
game at Memphis one thirty two to one thirty on
a fast break layup at the buzzer Now. Desmond Bain
(32:48):
had a triple double, but the point guard there, John Moran,
was out again tonight with a bad shoulder. Bain in
a tie game final seconds had the ball turned it over,
led to the layup and the loss. College hoops wins
for Duke and Houston, UCLA one at Northwestern seventy three
sixty nine, NHL shootout victories for Washington and San Jose,
(33:09):
and the Philadelphia Eagles will cut former Pro Bowl defensive
back Darius slay back to you.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
I call you killer because you slay me. Coming up next,
a big NFL retirement to get to thirty one years
and someone's hanging it up.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
That's next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live fromthetile rack dot Com Studios. I feel like I
can't really talk until we get to the Okay, good now,
starting there you go, Fox Sports Radio. A big retirement
today that I think sort of took everybody by surprise.
Jimmy Johnson retiring after thirty one years with Fox Television.
(34:09):
Jimmy Johnson, who was pushed out slash left as Cowboys
head coach after winning two Super Bowls because Jerry Jones
decided I'm gonna let my lips get loose at the
party and say I could win with the whole roommate
Barry Switzer. Jimmy jumps to the pregame show at Fox
When Fox first got the NFL back in ninety four,
he left to go coach the Dolphins for a couple
of years, then came back has been with Fox ever since.
(34:33):
He goes on the Herd with Colin Coward today and
I think surprised a lot of people when he said.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Oh, yeah, yeah, this is it for me. Thirty one
years had a great run, but I'm done.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
But I've made an extremely difficult decision.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
I've been thinking about it for the last four or
five years, and I've decided to retire from Fox and
I'm gonna miss it. I'm gonna miss all the ads
and I'll see them occasionally, but it is a great
run starting back thirty one years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
So that was him, and then Colin had a really
fun lote try Bradshaw, but that's the that's the response,
because I think he thought he was coming on and.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Just talking, okay, like that's kind of that's kind of
a shock, like this is it for him.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And I love how he talked about and it's it's
kind of it's kind of schmaltzy a little bit and
a little little cringe, but he talked about family and
how these guys on Fox are family. And Jay Glazer
has talked about that so often with us that he
and Terry and and and Howie and you know JB
when he was there, and now Kurt and now Gronk
(35:41):
when he's on, and Michael Strahan for the last seventeen years.
These guys are family. And you know, Jay told us
a great story about after the pandemic, because of Jimmy's health,
he wore a mask. He didn't want to wear a mask,
but he said, but I'm going to wear it for
you because I care about you. And guys on on
the set they wore masks because of that, and I
thought that was really really cool. And even though you
(36:03):
hear family, you kind of roll your eyes.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
A little bit.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
No, it's a lot easier and a lot better to
come to work every day when you like everybody you
work with. Now, what are certain quirks going to get
on your nerves people? Yeah, of course it's going to
be the case. That's just when you know, when you
when you're you know, you're thrown in with somebody at
work for eight hours a day or six hours a day,
whatever it's going to be. But it's a lot more
fun whatever you do for a living when you enjoy
(36:26):
the people you go into work with, because whether you
work in radio, whether you work at a bank, whether
you work at a at a video store, whether you're
a captain of industry, it's a lot more fun because
I've had both ends of the spectrum, you know, working
with people that I really like.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I mean, not here, Uh it's okay the video store,
no clerk's still in there.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
But working with people that I really like, it's fun.
It's been fun coming in here the last eleven years
with you and Frostburg and de Seger, and you know,
Mary's only been here a few months, but it feels
like she's been here for twenty years.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Uh, you know, it's it's it's really great.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
And and because I've been a couple of places in
the last fifteen years, I'm like, wow, it going into
work is really tough today, just because it's either you
don't get along with the people or the people do.
You don't feel they respect you as much as they do. Uh,
And it makes it difficult. And I remember walking away
from from a couple of gigs. I am never gonna
(37:19):
underestimate the people I work with again, whether it was
people I worked with every day on a set or
people who were above that were my managers, Like, I'm
never going to underestimate people, and now here eleven years,
I feel like I can trust you guys. So it's good.
I mean I still hit you over the head with
a chair. If I feel like you did something that
upset me.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Well, I mean, as you should. I mean, we don't
have to like each other every day, but but it's
tough overall. Reah, you don't like me every day. I
like you every day. No, you don't, sure I do.
When do I not like you?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
When do I not like you?
Speaker 3 (37:47):
When I really fight back against your Nicks and Jets? Oh,
I don't care. I realize your teams are terrible. What
do I well?
Speaker 6 (37:53):
They are?
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Your teams are off. I mean it really has been
a commonality here.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
I pity you more than anything because a couple of
my teams are now really good. Yeah good, Yeah, I
mean the Knicks are really good. One of the Mets
are really good. Your team's are all.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
But in the end, you're only playing three, five or
seven more games than US nineties. Come on, that is
the last time the next beat a good team?
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Find good? All right, all right.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
The Knicks haven't beaten a great team this year, but
they've beaten good Thursday night, they won't.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
You've beaten good teams not being a great teams. I
will say that. Look at that.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
He's already like he's Carnival barking for the next house
show my team of the w w E in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Thursday night, you're gonna win Thursday Night. The Mets are fine.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
It's fine, but we're still twenty games over five hundred,
and the Mets are in the nlcster.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
We got one, so too. I'm feeling pretty good. I
just feel mad for you. That's why it's okay. I
like you every day. That's what you come in do
every day. Yeah, it's pitty, it's pitty. It's really it's pity.
Keeps things rolling along.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Hey, look, Harmon needs this, I mean Harmon, Harmon needs this,
you know. And you're bringing food sometimes sometimes, you know,
we we owing for food with each other. It's okay, no, yeah,
I mean de Seger does it, but that's all right.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
But he's with us. He loves it. He's catching its
way for Harmon to put staples in a coffee. Wow,
all right, that's sex level. But yeah, but that's that's
how it isn't and this is it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
This is a group that's been together for a long time.
I mean on and offer for thirty years. It's been
Howie and Terry and and Jimmy. Right, that's been the
three right JB for a long time. That he left
and Kurts come in to do it and then straight
Hand for the like I feel like straight Hands. The
new guy's been there for almost twenty.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Years, seventeen eighteen years, yes, said yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
And Gronk is around to so it's yes, they let
new people in, but they don't leave. And to have
a show be number one without changing over that long,
that's special, man. That's inside the NBA, that's that's NFL
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
That's a lot, but it's the secret to a lot
of the greatness, right, is that you've got that history.
You know, when a guy's having a bad day, right,
Jay tells us all the time, you know, Jimmy Johnson
always the calming force on the set is guy Kurt Metafie.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
But you know those kind of things.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
If they're having a day, they're going to their friends, right,
They're going to family and they know they can talk
it out. I have someone just be an ear or
just being in that environment takes it down a level.
You know, we go through and we do this with
sports teams all the time, right to keep it in
the vein of what we're doing here is continuity is.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
A big deal.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
And again, you don't have to like each other every day,
but the reality is you've got a common goal and
you come to a common position as to what you're
trying to accomplish. Jimmy Johnson got to do that for
thirty one years.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
That clip they did at Super Bowl, While the AI
was a little weird, it was really a great.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Goodbye note that we got before we knew we.
Speaker 1 (40:47):

Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's like you signed this CBA, shut up.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So franchise two years Agow you're gonna make a lot
of money, man, You'll do well where it comes is
if they'd go for the third, then you get into
bonus territory and forty four percent. You're talking about for
two years, you're making the average of the top five
wide receivers at the position. It's like signing a two
year deal and getting top five money when you're not
(01:30):
a top five receiver. So understand that, Hey, yeah, I
get that you don't like the franchise tag, but you're
getting this money.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, it's the curiosity of the marketplace and whether you
could sign the long term deal and get a giant
signing bonus. I get it to a point. But in
the end, so many have argued it was like it
only affects so many people, So it's like, right, but
you guys collectively bargain that in So at some point
you had a bunch of dopes together with Demorris Smith
(01:58):
as you sat and argued this, and you decided this
was good. While you gave up something probably pretty substantive
on the other side, guess what, it ain't going anywhere,
So that you basically have said to your top players, yeah,
you're kind of screwed, but we get extra putting in
the snack snack case.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I mean just think about it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
If you're t Higgins, it's like, okay, let me go
back to before last year, where I can say to you, Hey,
how about two years and fifty one million dollars? Oh okay,
I take that. Okay, great guaranteed like you're getting all
the money. You're getting all the money, right because that's
what that's what last year was. That that's what last year.
This year right around twenty five million dollars. I mean,
that's not about I'm sorry. I don't feel bad for you.
(02:39):
If that's the case, that's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I don't know. It might be tough, might be tough
man hell of a family if they they need more
than that.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But we know one guy that apparently is not going
to get the franchise tag at a Tuesday's four pm deadline.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Nice. Can you say that again?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Like Mary who is not you are not getting franchise yay?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Aaron Rodgers? Let me know.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Uh. Sam Darnold is unlikely to be franchise tagged ahead
of the deadline tomorrow. This according to ESPN's Adam Schefter,
the Vikings now wait for it, They're still interested in
working to re sign him, but is likely to be
without any tag Okay, now the first flip side. If
you're the Vikings, you're like, hey, wait a minute, looking
(03:26):
for the Vikings perspective, Hey, why are they doing this? Well,
maybe they know that Donald doesn't have a lot of
suitors in free agency and he really liked it here,
and we'll come back and we'll get him for less money,
and boy, we're gonna really solidify our quarterback room because
if JJ McCarthy sinks, we can go back to Sam Donald,
maybe we'll get him for like three years and forty
five million. That'd be awesome and it sounds great, But
then you look at you, Sam Darnald and go, why
(03:48):
the hell would you ever go back there? I can
either go back to the Vikings where they want to
go to the other quarterback. Okay, like you like me,
but they like him as a Hey, you're kind of
a security blanket. He had a great year last year, right,
thirty five touchdowns, four thousand yards passing, best year is
a pro. Right, Hey, but we still only like you
so much. The Vikings if they bring him back, yes,
(04:10):
they can put this sham quarterback derby out there, but
they want to go to JJ McCarthy. Right, you've heard
Kevin O'Connell all the entire offseason. We love Sam, but boy,
we really love JJ McCarthy. I want to go to
JJ McCarthy. And part of this for the Vikings is, hey,
if we lose Sam Donald, we lose him where at
least we're done with this sticky situation, because it would
be sticky if we still have Donald and McCarthy and
(04:32):
how we're going forward. At least now it's a clean break.
They go forward with JJ McCarthy Donald, Right, But if
you're Donald, you're saying, hey, I could go back to
the Vikings where they like me.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I like my experience there, players all like me. I'll
get a fear.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Or I could go to another team who's gonna give
me a lot of money, and I'm gonna start Gee,
I know what I would do if the money would
be it's gonna be more from another team. All he
need is one team. There's gonna be one team that
wants Sam Donald that's gonna say, hey, okay, how about
two years and fifty million, y'all come on back, Sam,
we love you. There's gonna be a team that does it,
(05:06):
that's gonna want him, that's gonna more importantly, say you're
coming in as our starter. Now, maybe it's a one
year starter thing, because if Darnold goes falls on his face,
he's back to being a backup. But you still have
that chance this year of being a starter. Will you
go back to Minnesota? You know it's a fixed competition
that's gonna eventually end with you losing the job somehow. Well,
and you know wherever you go, they're they're bringing in
(05:28):
another guy. I mean automatically, right you all of.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
A sudden, I had the big breakthrough after several stops. Again,
we're trying to figure out what the statute of limitations
is to ex jet to where that is fully dissolved,
kind of like when you take a medication.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Am I out of my contagion space at this point?
Now I'm free? So Sam is in that point. But
he's not been out very long.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
And we saw him against the Lions and against the
Rams look less than average. He was terrible and in
those four games over the course of the year. So
for the Vikings, they get the advantage of hey dollar
cost averaging. All right, we're not paying JJ McCarthy very much,
and if physically he can't do it and then he
gets on the field and he can't do it. Well,
(06:15):
we've got Sam, Well, are you satisfied with putting on
a baseball cap and holding a clipboard and saying, well,
I'm gonna collect a decent check here, But I'm not
really maximized, Like you got to this level of your
profession and out there wherever you're listening, however you're listening
whatever you do for a living in theory, you're busting
your ass trying to do the best you can. Right
(06:36):
for Sam Darnold to suddenly just say, you know what,
it'll be okay here. I might start a couple games
and throw to Justin Jefferson. Jefferson like, I don't know
who my quarterback is, can't wait to catch balls from
whoever it is. Right, If that's not the most damning
quote of I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They don't tell me anything.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But you got the Raiders and as soon as Matthew
Stafford came off the board, everything's in play.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You have the downgrades by some people, anonymous sources, and
maybe you're trying to muddy the waters when it comes
to Shador Sanders and or cam Ward in terms of
their viability to come in and play right away.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But what's the rest of the free agent class at quarterback.
It's terrible. It's it's just.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Awful of the wishing, wanting, hoping of reclamation projects, you know,
like Sam Darnold, who just got saved.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I'm telling you, man, just watch you're going to see
as we get closer now to free agency, which is
coming up in a few days and then the draft. Right,
what did we see over the course of the past
four to five days at the combine? The quarterbacks at
the top of the draft may be sliding down a bit, right,
(07:46):
Maybe you know, Shador Sanders, cam Ward might not be
going as highway. He saw the report today that an
unnamed executive said Shador Sanders was cocky and arrogant, and
maybe that didn't play well. We'll get to that in
a few minutes. But what no matter what you see that, hey,
nothing came out of the last few days. It tells
you cam Warden Shador Sanders solidified their spots at the
(08:07):
top of the draft, right, And no team is represents
this more than the Giants, who are thinking we're gonna
get one of these guys at the top three. Because
the Titans look like they might go for for Abdul Carter,
they might go for Travis Hunter, which would leave one
of the quarterbacks then, and the Giants are saying, hey,
we're gonna give Matthew Stafford this money.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Hey we're gonna go get Aaron Rodgers. Hey we might go.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So the fact that Giants are sitting here saying, hey,
we're going, we may be looking at other things tells
you those quarterbacks are falling. Now the other quarterbacks might
be rising a little bit. Kyle Mccaorror Jackson Dart, the
guys that had really good combines. Jalen Milrose Shook is
a big boomer bus type player.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But it's got much bigger. Do you see that?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well you do the hand stretching and you used to
hold your hand stretching.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, it's a big thing.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
First they also had a thing the reach of all
the offensive linemen dropped.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, So somewhere in the measuring of all this we
get problem. Man, we got noise day. I'm gonna give
you a little bit extra rinthy. I'm gonna give you
extra half an inch between your fingers and your hands.
Okay about that. That's great.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So we'll work out with you in all walks of life.
It's not gonna help them. They look at video that
Bowl game against Michigan, So.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's all right, I'll give you an extra give you
extra half inch on your hands. So those guys are
moving up a little bit. So potentially we could see
McCord Dart maybe at the end of the first right,
you could see that. But now the other quarterbacks, the
free agent guys that everybody's been kind of lukewarm towards
because yeah, I'm not a big fan of these guys.
(09:34):
I'm not a big We're gonna go to the draft. Hey,
there's all these quarterbacks in the draft. We like suddenly
it's wait a minute now, So the guys at the
top may not go at the top. Yeah, we still
don't like them. Yeah, we may not get We can't
bank on getting one of these guys that we're gonna
move up in the first round. For like, we're not
gonna take Colin McCord at number ten, but we know
he's not gonna be there at number forty, So what
(09:55):
are we gonna do? So so many teams now who
are gonna feel stuck? Stuck because we're not gonna still
not gonna get the guys at the top that maybe
we don't want to draft that high. We have no
idea how we're gonna get a second or third round court.
You know, a guy like McCord or or Dart. So
now suddenly interest level in Darnald, Justin Fields and Daniel
(10:17):
Jones are gonna go way way up. And these guys
are gonna get better deals than you think because these
are the three best guys out there, and they all
share the same traits. They've all flashed at some point
in their careers. They've all gotten to a point where
you've seen them succeed. Yes, they've gotten run out of
town where they've been, but they're all so young. These
aren't It's not like trying to make it work with
(10:38):
Russell Wilson at thirty six, thirty seven, Aaron Rodgers at
thirty eight. You're saying, hey, these are all guys who
are still mid twenties. We might be able to strike
it big with these guys. Suddenly, hey, these three guys
become way more valuable and you're gonna see teams go
in and they're gonna sign very early in free agency.
Daniel Jones will get a big deal, and so will
Sam Darnold, and sobel Justin Fields, and maybe for that's
(11:00):
returning to Pittsburgh where he you know, he gets to
keep the job being familiar with the offense. But still, hey,
some team come out and say, oh no, no, we
really like Justin Fields. We're going to actually give money,
because Pittsburgh, we know you don't want to get anybody money.
We're going to actually give him money and then take
them from you. So watch those three guys are going
to really start seeing their values explode over the next
(11:21):
few days.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, what'll be the curiosity is how long Atlanta wants
to play the game of charades with Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
They will play it because look, they're on the hook
for a lot of money. They're gonna play this as
long as they have to. I don't think there was
any coincidence that very early in the off season process
you heard the Falcons say we're okay with him being
our backpack up. He knows we told him you're in
the backup. We're okay with him. Now he's not okay
with being the backup.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Which is why I talked about being hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, this is this is this is part of we
will play chicken with this as long as we can,
because boy really want to get out from under this money.
Which again, oh, who told you a year ago it
was gonna be really bad for the Falcons in the
off season. Oh, we did, That's right, we saw this coming.
But they will wait as long as they can before that. Like,
I don't think for a second they will have any
(12:10):
any thoughts about not carrying him through free agency, keeping
him on the team, waiting for a team to say, okay,
let's figure something out for Kirk Cousins and they figure
out the money.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, or wait for somebody to get hurt and get
desperate things on last thing to circle back, he went, well,
there's always screw that guy.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He had his chance to come and he was like, oh,
I'm just gonna use the Jets and the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
No, screw that man to come back. That's almost killed Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Everybody everybody out is it just a thing that basically
everybody out here in free agency is connected to the Jets.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We had Sam somewhere.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Kirk Cousins use this as leverage, and you know the
Jets are gonna sign Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Wash, Yeah, Daniel Jones. The interesting one right.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Doing the Sunday Show during the football season with Bucky Brooks,
he brought up the fact that, well, maybe Kevin O'Connell
thinks he can fix him like he.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Did Sam Darnold.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So they try to find a way in a number
that may make sense to just keep in there as
McCarthy becomes whatever he does for twenty twenty five. Curiosities
all around, But watch out, Sam Darnold. I could go
back to the vikings where I'm going to be a
backup at some point or someplace where I can start.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, I gus hard to say a pirate. You totally
know he's skiing with Brady and Montana.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, Brady's got to get somebody, doesn't he.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I hope not. I mean, he's oh for right now.
He's out for everybody, any of the guys that are
on their list so far.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
He's out for GMS, he's out for head coaches, he's
out for the quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
He's over him.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
But I mean, you talked about the foothold being lost
here in la as the Raider image is going to
close there in the Universal City Walk.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Brady's only for two. Yeah, Brady, Brady's taking overhs Man.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, but you're talking about two huge brands that are
taken incoming left and right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Brady's going to be let go Tani against the Mets
in the playoffs this year. Just taking ophers Man, Oh

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Here's game on Shallow May Shana May. Evidently a pretty
good uh hooper? Was Was there a Was there a
real midnight game at Veterans Park?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I did not admit I made it getting in the car,
but I was actually in a movie theater. Shan Jason
dressed like you think you're out of Sandler dude. Adam said, Hey,
that's Adam Sandler.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Your sweater is probably not as coffee as his. It's
pretty tame, Am, I comfy sweater. What are you gonna do?
Shat him? May Shallow May.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
He wears that all the time. Yeah, all the time.
That wears the same thing, long basketball shorts. He's always
coming off the court. Yeah, he's always always.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But like he was wearing last night, like I don't
know if you saw, but like he's wearing the basketball
shorts and he had the hoodie on, but he had
like a Hawaiian shirt hunter.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It like you're not playing basketball in Hawaiian. Why not?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't think decided. I mean that was the uniform
for the No, you don't do that easy enough though. No,
this is me expressing my flare. No, I just feel like, Okay,
if you're really going to sell the bit that, hey
I'm gonna, you know, play basketball, you're not wearing a
Hawaiian shirt, tell.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Adam Seler how to sell a bit.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm dumb, dumb, I'm telling you. I don't think Adam
Sandler was dressed down enough. He could have been, he
could have been, could have been treutsed down. Actually more
to do that bit on the Oscars. It's a good
bit though, Oh, I mean go to O'Briant did a
hell of a job. Yeah, you thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Okay. First takeaway from the Oscars last night? Was it unbelievable?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did some of the bits fall flat?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Was it still long?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But the bed the biggest takeaway, the most the biggest
thing for me is that it looks like the Oscars
are on track again to be fun where they weren't fun.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
For a long time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
When we're having I mean, obviously COVID shows up and
and and it looks really awkward and they have in
the you know, in different and like it looks like
a like the Golden Globes are having it at like
in a restaurant. And it was really like fun was
not something that was really pushed and it was like, hey,
guess what, you know what it was fun? Conan was
having fun. The jokes were fun. Uh you know, even
(18:13):
when he brought out the uhh the firefighters and the
guy does the joke people who lost their homes.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We're talking about the producers of Joker too. I was like,
oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Everybody in the stance is like the crowd is like,
oh do I laugh? Because wait, do I laugh? But
we haven't had anybody to do that since Jervais. You
get it at the Golden Globes. Globes people forget about
that that Remember, the Oscars are supposed to be fun
and you need somebody fun who's hosting it to do
fun stuff? And look, jim Jimmy Jimmy Kimmels, you know,
does a really good job. But overall the tone needs
(18:45):
to be more fun. You can be serious, and last
night it was it was great.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
He he went from we're having fun too, I'm gonna
be serious here for a minute and talk about you know,
here's the real heroes, and the and the fire department
all comes out and everybody was really happy to see
them standing over and you go back to doing fun
like you can do it. But it's gotta be fun.
It's got to be a fun watch. Like why Oscars
viewers are dwindling over the last few years is that
it's just not as much fun. I want a fun thing.
(19:12):
I want to be able to sit back for three
and a half hours and riff on what people are
wearing and what they're saying, and make fun of the
movies that I haven't seen, because come.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
On, you're nominating ten movies. You can't give us stuff
that most of us have seen, right. I want to
do that.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I get that's part of the Oscars, And it just
seems like now I feel okay with their getting back
to that because what people are the Oscars is a
television show, right, And we say that about sports all
the time, Right, why do these teams get picked for
the NCAA tournament? Well, why does Syracuse always get in
when they're on the bubble Because it's a television show
and Syracuse is good television, and Bayim was good television.
It's better than Monmouth getting in. They're better television. Sports
(19:47):
a television show, and people forget the oscars. It's a
television show and now and it needs to be fun
because people like the movies. It's escapism.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
It's why we go.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I don't watch movies to be upset or to people
shake my finger at me, go, this is really bad
thing that happened.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
But yeah, I understand that. I don't need to watch
a movie about it. It was really bad. I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I understand. I want to be entertained, entertain me with stuff.
And now I feel like, okay, maybe they're getting back
to that. I don't know if Conan does it again,
but they're getting.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Back to it. Yeah, would seemed like he would get
another shot.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I mean, my favorite bit was the we took a
bunch of cell phones and we put them together to
create one giant screen.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Here's how you put him in here. It was a
good little bit.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
But all of that to say, like, we get a
bunch of these movies. I mean a couple of these
have been streaming for two months ago. Oh yeah, yeah, right,
and given the way and theatrical runs, and that's a
big fight in the background.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And I just it's a long, long, arduous process.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
To get to this of how long do things stay
in the theaters because once you actually start getting some
Oscar run, well, guess what, there's other movies coming out, so.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Maybe they don't go back into theaters and whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Else to say, Okay, well this is gonna be an
Oscar nominated movie, so I'm gonna go back to theater.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, it's on my cow, I'm gonna see it.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So you're not hitting the same revenue, streams, word of mouth, whatever,
because the investment isn't there. Right, it's second screening while
you're watching something and all of that. But the thing
is the rooting for the movies that we used to
do in the past that's not coming back now like
it used to be. The five nominations, we're like, oh
my god, I'm I want this one. This was the
best movie I saw this year. But now they've decided
(21:21):
we're going to nominate ten, and we're going to nominate
a lot. You know, most of the movies or movies
that either you have to try to you had to
really try to see them, notings like you had to
you had to know try. Yeah, I mean, and I
get that we want they want to reward movies that
take risks because I love that. But that's what's gone
(21:41):
is the rooting for a movie because I remember, you know,
get to the in the turn of the century into
the early two thousand movies, I'm rooting.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I want this movie to win.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So oh, I can't believe this movie the lot like
I remember that, but that's gone, right, so you can't
give me that. The best thing the Oscars gave me
last night is I didn't see it, but I'm interested
now to see Hoora. Of all the movies I didn't see,
and I saw about half of them, the movies that
didn't get nominated, I'm excited to see Anora now. Like
kind it's kind of a gritty rom com. I'm like, okay, great,
I kind of want.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
To see it.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In John Liftgow, well, dude, the John Lithgow meme is
gonna live forever. Like that was unbelievable. I thought that's
gonna be every single meme now, like instead of the Denzel.
Oh I when I saw someone trending in the Denzel
when he when he touches his chest, like, oh my goodness,
like the Lithgo meme is gonna what's what's gonna live now?
Because just him just tearing at the camera, you know,
pushing pushing out his bottom lip was really great. Now,
(22:31):
it was terrific.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I think I saw half of the movies, and in
Nora was one. I saw a number of trailers and
at no point that I say, man, I need to
see that film.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, But now that it won, I'm like, okay, so
many people liked it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Had I like Mikey Madison and screamed, no, she's you know,
I mean she did a couple of things where you
and they said that's how they cast her because we
saw her in these movies and said, yeah, that could
that works. And the one bald guy I thought for
a long time was Corey stall Not Corey Stall. No
looks a lot like him, Not Corey Stole. I was okay,
I was okay with that.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
We met a lot of new people last night, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And now and now the biggest thing, obviously, the biggest
contours because still was going on today was rob Right,
Timothy Shallomey got robbed for Best Actor.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I think if they voted again.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
After Adrian Brodie's speech, they would give it to Timothy Challamey,
but it seemed like everything was coming up Chalamey, right,
I mean at the beginning of the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Is all about him.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Shouta May, shout to May, and you know, Conan making
fun of his outfit. You sent me the man with
the yellow hat. That was a good meme of him
holding curious George's hand, So is George. It's a Jenner curse. See, hey, George,
what do you think of Timothy shallow May? Mike Mike's
on the something George? Oh, George, did you see I'm
(23:45):
a complete unknown.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He's twenty nine. He's twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And what probably hurt him in this because complete unknown
started to get a little bit of momentum.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
But when you.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, Kylie Jenner, I can't vote for him now. I
think what probably hurt him, To be honest, to be
a movie geek for a second, is that when everything
else is nominated for it, and you have a Best
Supporting Actress nominated, Monica Barbara Best Supporting Actor and Edward
Norton and you're nominated and the movie is not, and
(24:24):
the movie is nominated it's it kind of takes away
from your power in the role. Where Okay, was he
really great or was it just a really good movie?
Because look at where the nominations are. Because I thought
for a while that was gonna wind up sneaking in
the back door and winning Best Picture, because that got
a lot of momentum.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But a Nora got all the late momentum. But I thought,
you're coming off.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
It's nominated for Best Picture, you got Best Actor, Best
Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor. This is gonna win. But
sometimes you're an actor, you get a little bit overshadowed.
Clearly he's a star power and he was terrific in it.
But I think that's kind of what it is, is that, well,
here's a whole thing. Well maybe the whole movie is good. Yeah,
I don't know if i'd vote. I don't know if
Shallow may really stands out whereas a movie like The
Brutalist when Adrian Brody wins, and he kind of won
(25:08):
the same way he won for The Pianist because he
was in every frame of the movie, right, Like, he
is in every single frame of the movie, and he
emotes great, and he has sand faces and and he's
a really good actor, and you know, twenty years later
he kind of won in the same type of formula,
so I get why he won, whereas Shallow may was hey,
you played.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's almost like the situation with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, right,
they both had great years but boy Lamar, but Josh
Allen did it with a little bit less. Some more
people voted for him for MVP than Lamar Jackson, who
had a great running back to not to have a
couple of good receipts. You know, they had a much
better team around him, so maybe he doesn't get the votes,
where boy Josh Allen didn't have as much around him,
Timothy Shallow, they had a lot around him outside of
(25:48):
the Brutal, which not a lot of people saw the Brutalist,
but because of his performance was so good that got
a lot of the attention.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Yeah, Brutalist. Domestic box office fifteen million dollars unknown seventy two, Yeah,
world wide one hundred and ten. But you know all
of that what I think is interesting with it. Conclave
got a bunch of money late, Yeah for Best Picture. Yeah,
guy that lucky who was on with with Hartman which
(26:15):
he's been doing Oscar picks forever. That was his upset special.
So if you if you got in on that.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
You lost.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
But that's like a modern day Training Day where Training
Day was one of the best movies I've ever seen
until the last fifteen minutes. Yeah, when I'm like, oh, now,
because you know, let's give Denzela's moment and all that.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I didn't like it when he shot him in the asse.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
That just that just the movie should have ended with
the bathtub Like whoa, I can say it now it's
twenty years Like they should have killed Ethan Hawk's character
and he gets away with it, and I'd be like,
that's the most amazing ending because the movie was so good,
because Denzel was so good, Ethanoff was so good. This
movie was incredibly good. But you know, end with the
bathtub scene instead of, oh I just so happened to
(26:57):
save your cousin earlier today. Oh wow, Oh that's grave. Yeah,
I mean that was a bad But the same thing
for Conclave. I'm like, wow, Conclave is building to such
this great momentum, and you know, all the car bombs
going off outside while they're trying to look the Pope
and I'm like, oh my god, and then it takes
this big left turn and I'm like, I'm saying to myself,
that's how it's gonna end. It's gonna end that way.
(27:18):
Great cast too, right, lift goal HENI was fantastic. She
was it for like eight How was she nominated? She
did it for like eight seconds, but they were trying
to go silence in the lamb.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
She was one scene. I know it was like thirty
seconds long.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
But I come the long circular way to get back
to the Best Actor. There were several people that said
they didn't vote for Ray Fines because they thought he woned.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I know, did that swing it? Get and kill off?
Shallow may? Did that do it?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I don't want to give Shalomega's fourth out of he's
never been nominated before.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
No, I know he's won because he was.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Actually the same because the otherwise he's too young. Well,
he's the same age Brody was when he won. Yeah,
he won, and he got the big smooth from Alley.
If he stood out more in that movie. You're still talking, guys,
I'm still going don't play me. He would have won
if he stood out more. Now, speaking of standing out,
let me just say this because we said this a
(28:11):
few weeks ago, and it's it's coming it's it's continuing
to come true. Another incredible night for Shake Guilders. Alexander
fifty one points has a thunderbeat the Rockets one thirty
seven to one twenty eight. He's now has four fifty
point games this season. Nobody else in the NBA has
won all these fifty point games in the last two months,
so all of a sudden, he's just he's just stacking
(28:33):
fifty point games. I get that Jokic is having another
triple double, he's having a great season, but it's like Shack.
We've seen Shaq do do his thing. Either Shaq's gotta
win MVP every year or you give it to him
once he doesn't win again, which is what they did.
But I get Jokic just having a good year. I'm sorry,
Shake Guilders. Alexander has the Oklahoma City Thunder at the
(28:54):
top of the Western Conference and a team that's really good.
He stands out so much so and he's led his
team to a higher level. Because the award is MVP,
it's not Player of the Year, it's MVP, and Jokic
has his team in the thick of things in the
Western Conference. But he's got you know, other all all
NBA type players on the team too. Went when Murray
(29:15):
is healthy, but Gildess Alexander has his team at the top.
It's one of the top three teams in the NBA.
That's the MVP. We told you a month or so
ago he was gonna win it, and he's gonna win
it now.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
He's sitting at before tonight's game minus five fifty, jokicet
plus three fifty.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Ready for the next two guys on the list? Is
Luca next?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
No, what do you mean? Big Bodega's next? Who's more
valuable to their team right now than Luka? Doncris, Big Bodega.
You're gonna keep selling it.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Quenton Rimes Jannis at two hundred and fifty to one, right,
but two hundred fifty to one, and then fourth is
Jason Tatum at three hundred one. So two hours race
and down the stretch they come and they is a
wide gap. This is basically you really have to stumble
and fall for the final quarter. You have to you
(30:07):
have to not play the games. Yeah, that's you have
to do. You have to miss the game miss one,
you can't he only played sixty four.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
No no oh, the horror exit out about a Fresco
exit swollen Dome. Another night, another great performance by Shaye
Gilders Alexander. Time out to talk to a guy to
find out what's trending. Who's been called the Shay Gilders
Alexander Sports Radio spent his rookie year at the Clippers.
They said, yeah, we don't need you, we could trade you,
and now look where he is. Great performances night after night.
(30:35):
It's Steve de said, what didn't you say in the
first hour? Never trade the young NBA star? Maybe that
applies to maybe to this. By the way, before we
get to SGA's night, I looked it up. Isabella Rossellini
apparently had eight minutes of screen time. I think that's
too generous. I don't even think she was on it
for that. I think her longest scene where she actually
spoke was like thirty five in the.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Screen time.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah total. Actually, when I saw her, I said, really.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
She's not okay the record though, be it sure Straight
Network one best supporting actors. She was on screen for
about five minutes, but she could really tell off William Holden.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Okay, how this madness.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
The Brutalist is listed as having a running time of
three hours and thirty five minutes, including an intermission, So
maybe that was appropriate with the long speech.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And also that too. I mean, I told you how
long Wicked is? Right, Wicked is so incredibly Look and
that's only the first half.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
It was still going. On the beginning of the Oscars.
You saw that they had only gotten up.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
To define grab it did a really nice she got
to join in progress the Oscars to show.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Okay, the Wicked is so long.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
The Oscar speeches, they asked the people, you know, if
you win, come up, keep it to about forty five seconds.
Adrian Brodie was about five forty five last night.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
He was.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
He's still going.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
It's apparently the new Oscars record. By the way, the
ad Week news for last night saying the Nielsen Fast
National TV ratings estimate eighteen million viewers last night compared
to about nineteen million that they were getting the previous
couple of years.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
In the NBA.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
At Oklahoma City tonight, the thunder now fifty and eleven
as they beat Houston one thirty seven to one twenty eight.
Shay Giljis Alexander fifty one points, seven assists. He was
eighteen of thirty from the floor. This OKC team just
won last night at San Antonio one forty six to
one thirty two. Rocket center alpa and Schengoon was out
(32:25):
with a bad back. At Dallas, Kyrie Irving left early
with what's called a knee sprain. Sacramento easily beat the MAVs.
Detroit dominated at Utah, wins for Portland and Miami. Golden
State won at Charlotte one nineteen one oh one. The
Hornets have lost seven in a row. Atlanta won its
game at Memphis one thirty two to one thirty on
a fast break layup at the buzzer Now. Desmond Bain
(32:48):
had a triple double, but the point guard there, John Moran,
was out again tonight with a bad shoulder. Bain in
a tie game final seconds had the ball turned it over,
led to the layup and the loss. College hoops wins
for Duke and Houston, UCLA one at Northwestern seventy three
sixty nine, NHL shootout victories for Washington and San Jose,
(33:09):
and the Philadelphia Eagles will cut former Pro Bowl defensive
back Darius slay back to you.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
I call you killer because you slay me. Coming up next,
a big NFL retirement to get to thirty one years
and someone's hanging it up.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
That's next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live fromthetile rack dot Com Studios. I feel like I
can't really talk until we get to the Okay, good now,
starting there you go, Fox Sports Radio. A big retirement
today that I think sort of took everybody by surprise.
Jimmy Johnson retiring after thirty one years with Fox Television.
(34:09):
Jimmy Johnson, who was pushed out slash left as Cowboys
head coach after winning two Super Bowls because Jerry Jones
decided I'm gonna let my lips get loose at the
party and say I could win with the whole roommate
Barry Switzer. Jimmy jumps to the pregame show at Fox
When Fox first got the NFL back in ninety four,
he left to go coach the Dolphins for a couple
of years, then came back has been with Fox ever since.
(34:33):
He goes on the Herd with Colin Coward today and
I think surprised a lot of people when he said.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Oh, yeah, yeah, this is it for me. Thirty one
years had a great run, but I'm done.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
But I've made an extremely difficult decision.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
I've been thinking about it for the last four or
five years, and I've decided to retire from Fox and
I'm gonna miss it. I'm gonna miss all the ads
and I'll see them occasionally, but it is a great
run starting back thirty one years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
So that was him, and then Colin had a really
fun lote try Bradshaw, but that's the that's the response,
because I think he thought he was coming on and.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Just talking, okay, like that's kind of that's kind of
a shock, like this is it for him.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And I love how he talked about and it's it's
kind of it's kind of schmaltzy a little bit and
a little little cringe, but he talked about family and
how these guys on Fox are family. And Jay Glazer
has talked about that so often with us that he
and Terry and and and Howie and you know JB
when he was there, and now Kurt and now Gronk
(35:41):
when he's on, and Michael Strahan for the last seventeen years.
These guys are family. And you know, Jay told us
a great story about after the pandemic, because of Jimmy's health,
he wore a mask. He didn't want to wear a mask,
but he said, but I'm going to wear it for
you because I care about you. And guys on on
the set they wore masks because of that, and I
thought that was really really cool. And even though you
(36:03):
hear family, you kind of roll your eyes.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
A little bit.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
No, it's a lot easier and a lot better to
come to work every day when you like everybody you
work with. Now, what are certain quirks going to get
on your nerves people? Yeah, of course it's going to
be the case. That's just when you know, when you
when you're you know, you're thrown in with somebody at
work for eight hours a day or six hours a day,
whatever it's going to be. But it's a lot more
fun whatever you do for a living when you enjoy
(36:26):
the people you go into work with, because whether you
work in radio, whether you work at a bank, whether
you work at a at a video store, whether you're
a captain of industry, it's a lot more fun because
I've had both ends of the spectrum, you know, working
with people that I really like.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I mean, not here, Uh it's okay the video store,
no clerk's still in there.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
But working with people that I really like, it's fun.
It's been fun coming in here the last eleven years
with you and Frostburg and de Seger, and you know,
Mary's only been here a few months, but it feels
like she's been here for twenty years.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Uh, you know, it's it's it's really great.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
And and because I've been a couple of places in
the last fifteen years, I'm like, wow, it going into
work is really tough today, just because it's either you
don't get along with the people or the people do.
You don't feel they respect you as much as they do. Uh,
And it makes it difficult. And I remember walking away
from from a couple of gigs. I am never gonna
(37:19):
underestimate the people I work with again, whether it was
people I worked with every day on a set or
people who were above that were my managers, Like, I'm
never going to underestimate people, and now here eleven years,
I feel like I can trust you guys. So it's good.
I mean I still hit you over the head with
a chair. If I feel like you did something that
upset me.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Well, I mean, as you should. I mean, we don't
have to like each other every day, but but it's
tough overall. Reah, you don't like me every day. I
like you every day. No, you don't, sure I do.
When do I not like you?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
When do I not like you?
Speaker 3 (37:47):
When I really fight back against your Nicks and Jets? Oh,
I don't care. I realize your teams are terrible. What
do I well?
Speaker 6 (37:53):
They are?
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Your teams are off. I mean it really has been
a commonality here.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
I pity you more than anything because a couple of
my teams are now really good. Yeah good, Yeah, I
mean the Knicks are really good. One of the Mets
are really good. Your team's are all.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
But in the end, you're only playing three, five or
seven more games than US nineties. Come on, that is
the last time the next beat a good team?
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Find good? All right, all right.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
The Knicks haven't beaten a great team this year, but
they've beaten good Thursday night, they won't.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
You've beaten good teams not being a great teams. I
will say that. Look at that.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
He's already like he's Carnival barking for the next house
show my team of the w w E in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Thursday night, you're gonna win Thursday Night. The Mets are fine.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
It's fine, but we're still twenty games over five hundred,
and the Mets are in the nlcster.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
We got one, so too. I'm feeling pretty good. I
just feel mad for you. That's why it's okay. I
like you every day. That's what you come in do
every day. Yeah, it's pitty, it's pitty. It's really it's pity.
Keeps things rolling along.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Hey, look, Harmon needs this, I mean Harmon, Harmon needs this,
you know. And you're bringing food sometimes sometimes, you know,
we we owing for food with each other. It's okay, no, yeah,
I mean de Seger does it, but that's all right.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
But he's with us. He loves it. He's catching its
way for Harmon to put staples in a coffee. Wow,
all right, that's sex level. But yeah, but that's that's
how it isn't and this is it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
This is a group that's been together for a long time.
I mean on and offer for thirty years. It's been
Howie and Terry and and Jimmy. Right, that's been the
three right JB for a long time. That he left
and Kurts come in to do it and then straight
Hand for the like I feel like straight Hands. The
new guy's been there for almost twenty.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Years, seventeen eighteen years, yes, said yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
And Gronk is around to so it's yes, they let
new people in, but they don't leave. And to have
a show be number one without changing over that long,
that's special, man. That's inside the NBA, that's that's NFL
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
That's a lot, but it's the secret to a lot
of the greatness, right, is that you've got that history.
You know, when a guy's having a bad day, right,
Jay tells us all the time, you know, Jimmy Johnson
always the calming force on the set is guy Kurt Metafie.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
But you know those kind of things.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
If they're having a day, they're going to their friends, right,
They're going to family and they know they can talk
it out. I have someone just be an ear or
just being in that environment takes it down a level.
You know, we go through and we do this with
sports teams all the time, right to keep it in
the vein of what we're doing here is continuity is.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
A big deal.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
And again, you don't have to like each other every day,
but the reality is you've got a common goal and
you come to a common position as to what you're
trying to accomplish. Jimmy Johnson got to do that for
thirty one years.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
That clip they did at Super Bowl, While the AI
was a little weird, it was really a great.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Goodbye note that we got before we knew we.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Needed exit out about a Fresco exit swelling down the
Jason Smiths Or with Mike Carmon live from the TIREC
dot Com Studios. Incredible run thirty years. Nobody ever had
to be replaced. Hey, this guy's getting a little older.
The players that you know, the viewers.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Don't remember who he is anymore. None of that.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
They've stayed together for a thirty some odd years. Terrific
run by Jimmy Johnson. Coming up next, we get into
the most bizarre sports story the last forty eight hours,
and I really don't know how to take this.
