Speaker 2 (00:23):
If you're listening to Fox Sports Radio, greetings and welcome
in a big Friday Night on tap here Fox Sports
Radio Jason Smith Show with Me Mike Harmon. No Jason
Smith and I'll be back on Monday, and our cavalcade
of stars we end the week is only well, it's
the only way we can. It's the stinking genius himself,
(00:46):
Arnie Spaniard. Now, the only thing that's missing for this one, Arnie,
is it would have been better if the Arizona Wildcats
were playing during this window.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That was killing me. You know what I was when
I was on the air doing the air on an
Oregon game. I wouldn't let plane talk to me. I
just don't talk to me.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
For the home I took the off.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I took the hour, hour and fifteen minutes off. I
just sat here watch You don't tell the boss. I
was just watching the game.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
A lot of folks let other people do the talking
for an hour. I thought we were going to say
at a time on their show, so that, I mean,
that wouldn't be anything.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, I thought we were gonna come back and win that.
I'm very disappointed, man. I it was okay, you know,
the right before the half, the the two three pointers
and they're up by six. She didn't feel good going
into the half. And then it got up to what
it was eighteen or twenty or whatever it was, and
then they fought back and oh, they just didn't get
the right break. Duke was the better team. They took
(01:40):
care of us in Tucson. So right, best to look
to the Cooper flagman, some damn good man. Someone hit him.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Man him.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
We're gonna shove get him off his market.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That guy and keep him away from the big shots.
You did refer to the end of half shot Cooper Flag.
We were on air Dan Byer and I and watching
that game, and it's in the final minutes, right. We
always talk about the final four and a half beginning
for the next in football, and certainly we saw that
here let's hear that Cooper Flag half court shots.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You just want to hear it again.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I do about it.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
They've got three seconds, flag deep, three balls. Absolutely had
a show of emotion for the best player in America.
Cooper Flag just hit from the long range right before
hand time that never should have happened. Was Arizona shot
the ball? Farks up, arnieks up, sarks up. Barney, come on,
(02:40):
so what does that even mean? I didn't even know
what that You know what it means, State didn't even
make the tournaments.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Doesn't mean he's not going to come over the top
on you. We've got Mary Mack, who's cackling niaclee uh yeah,
you'r your best friend. And then Shay as our executive producer.
Really you're doing the who come on? That ends badly?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You remember Story Football. I'm just I'm just very crabby,
very crabvy about that one.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, twenty four hours, like if you were like I
debated calling you while we were on air.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Mike, you know, I have to say this a million times.
I tell you, tell Plank, I'm a bigger sports fan
than you guys are, Okay, and it takes me a
little bit longer to get over my Arizona losses. You
you went to what a JC junior college? You went
to Northwestern, So you get over those losses real easy,
you know that. Just you just shrug it off, just
(03:36):
like Plank does.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You know, Well, part of it is being a grown
up and being an adult and getting business. And I'm
not saying that they don't sting like it's talked about
it on air a lot. My guy Jason Smith that
you know, is normally in this slot with me. He
lives and dies with each of bat so us. Getting
(03:59):
to play that baout for Soto yesterday it was kind
of fun. It was everything came up harmon yesterday except
for the Cubs win at the end of the night.
But the White Sox win the opener against the Angels
in resounding fashion.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That probably won't happened for a long time now.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Over at Rate Field, well, I mean, look, I got
a couple of nice friendly bets with some Angel fans
on that the season record because they're both not going
to be very good. But I'll take the opening day
win and go. I'm surrounded by Lakers fans being here
in the Fox Sports Radio studios, the Tirax studios in
Los Angeles, which meant the Josh Giddy shot that was insane.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
How could nobody's bringing up the lebron in was a lebron?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I mean nobody did. We did it live on air
and hammered him for what was probably the worst fifteen
to twenty seconds of basketball in his adult life.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No, but it was the inbound past that s oh.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was terrible, and he immediately started pointing and trying
to blame other people for not cutting after playing horrible
defense where he drifted into no man's land allowing the
three point shot before said inbat I.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Just didn't see a lot of people criticizing him over that.
I'm just like, my goodness, man, what kind of have
passes that? Now?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Are Barney? Now? Remember as much as we've enjoyed the
soap opera acting of the urnal List, and he's earned
one hundred million dollars plus Steven A. Smith because that
jade dropped off a long time ago, of course, right,
it's now the journalism part of things has gone away,
and good for them. We're still talking about it. Get
(05:35):
your clicks, get your ratings and whatever else, and keep
the slap fight going forever. But there's a lot of
people and even Lebron in that McAfee interview, you know,
kind of started going at folks who've made a cottage
industry of covering Lebron James, which means the sycophantic part
of things, and you want the good being, the good
graces of clutch sports and all of their their tentacles.
(05:59):
Mean you're only gonna criticize so far, which means the
the heroics become a Hey, look at the shot from Giddy.
Look at the shot from Kobe White right as oppose
you don't look over here where guys are getting lost
on defense. Lebron makes a half ass inbound pass, and
then you don't bother to try to cover up the shooter.
Not that a half court shot is anything. That's just
(06:21):
easy as can be. But you know, Giddy got to
take what two dribbles and got a clean looks dead center.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, no, I mean, look at he'll make that one
out of a hundred times. It just happened to be
that one time. And by the way, when when you
brought up all that stuff about the players, you know
where the problem is is, it's for the first time
in a long time we have a big disconnect between
the players and the fans and between the media and
the players, and it's getting to be real bad. It's
(06:50):
getting to be very toxic, as you see with Lebron
and him calling out Winhorst and him called out Stevin
a Smith and him calling out everybody. It seems like
so it's gonna to be real toxic out there. I've
never seen it this bad before in my life.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But this is also performative. It's not even funny, aren't
he from the Hey, let me address this on the court.
You could have done that a million different times. You
wanted to do it for show, so he did it
on the But.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
The fans are having a disconnect also with the with
the players too, I believe.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well. But part of it is you own your own
narrative once upon a time, and folks can be critical
of it. It was a simpler time in that you
only got what players and teams wanted you to get.
Because guys were traveling with the team, they might have
been paid by the team. There were few of them.
Not everybody was a would be journalist with a camera
(07:44):
on their phone that would catch things being done during
timeouts or you know how a guy's given the coach
side eye, or what's going on during during the timeouts
on the side, or or maybe in game action where
we'd get we get more of that because you've got
so many people that want to be the one to
catch the guy in a in the awkward moment. And
(08:07):
for Lebron and company, look, player agency goes both ways. Right,
They're they're going to have access to the fans and
be able to get their message out. But when they're
a little salty, they can come back over the top
because let's face it, they have the power. And Adam
Silver and the and the NBA have allowed that to
go on for a long time. And I'm not saying
it's it's a wrong thing of just saying we've hit
(08:28):
kind of a tipping point.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, not yet. I was about to say we were
gonna did we hit the boiling point? I don't think
so yet. It's only it's only going to get worse.
That's Stephen A Smith encounter with Lebron. That's that's just
the start of things. Don't get worse.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's that's just comedy. Like if like if one of
them actually thrown a hand or took a real.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Stephen said, he you'll throw it out next time if he.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Had his chance? What did he do right? If he
It's all just great talking points, right, It's been great
theater for this last week and a half or however
long it's been the far too long, in my opinion,
we're talking about it now. This is the most we've
really breathed air into it. I've made my jokes about
(09:11):
the performative nature of it, you know, in passing as
we've talked about things. But you know, folks have given
it a lot of life. And for Steven A, he's
cackling all the way to his one hundred million dollars
for Lebron James. We're talking about Lebron and the more
there's there's life in this. When he has the lapses
as he did at that the end of the game
(09:32):
against the Bulls, it's not nearly as sillacious because we
expect that from a forty year old guy in the
in the final seconds of a game.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And also, a regular season doesn't mean as much now
as it used to be. For some reason. It's just like, okay,
it's just another game, well wait till the playoffs. Doesn't
mean but some of.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It it also, it really never did, but we focused
on it perhaps a bit more. Maybe we're a little
more distracted so we don't hunker down. It's part of
the reason when we talk about the NCAA tournament and
you're bringing up the heroics of Cooper Flag. It's something
that Dan Byer and I talked about when he was
in the chair with me yesterday. Is he's done his job.
He's been sensational, but there's so much else going on
(10:10):
in the sporting universe. He's doing what we expected him
to do, so there's not the same level of build up, right,
it's no prize.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
It's funny you said, because I was gonna say that
the build up on Cooper Flag, not even a tenth
of him, was for like what was with Magic Johnson
and Larry Bird and just taking all the superstars all
the way up till now. He's like a tenth of
the of the coverage or of the talk going on.
(10:38):
And he's supposed to be the number one pick. He
is going to be the number one pick. He's the
best guy by far. He's a great player. How good
is he going to be?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I mean, is he gonna be a Hall of Famer
right off the bat. I can't tell you, but he
just looks so awesome. But yet he doesn't get any
of the press, any of the accolades, any of the
I mean, he was the first guy, and how long
to get the acc what Rookie of the Year and
Player of the Year, and my goodness, man, just look
what he's done. He's just tremendous.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well, let me let me say this to Yarnie and
we'll get back to Lebron. James here in a second.
Is perhaps finally as a media, as much as we're
blowing up this stupid ass Steven a Lebron nonsense, right, right,
Maybe we got the Cooper flag right. We didn't deify
him and put him up on Mount Rushmore, build statues
and bow and genuflect to him. And it's the first
(11:28):
time we've done that with the top prospect in a
long time. Maybe we actually got one right because we
were too distracted with his other nonsense.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Look at the difference between a top player. Let's say
Kago Williams, the quarterback for the Bears, right and before
he even came in all favor.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, but football is a different animal. Like football fills
all the oction, Like right now, we can do four
hours standing on our heads about the nonsense of Russell
Wilson's signing with the Giants, or what's Aaron Rodger going
to do on the large scale. Yeah, we'll see what
happens right as we go through it. But you know,
for college buckets, it's been reduced to all unless you're
(12:09):
really in, Like you're really into it, right and you're
into your conference, you're into your team. You live and
die with your Wildcats. That was the point I was
making with Smith earlier, is I envy that it's still
so hard for him game to game, And then you
were you.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You weren't enjoying I was. I'm the same way as you.
I'm like, all great, Mike's Mike's not enjoying the tournament.
I wasn't enjoying the.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's not that I'm not enjoying it. Like Cinderella. The specialness,
and I've said this all week, is is that she
only showed up once in a while, Like in terms
of a real run, right right, the winning one game,
that's not Cinderella, but that's an anomaly. That's a one game.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Like I don't need her to go far just give
me the one, the one win, give me, give me
a buzz buzzer beaters, right, but then all.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It does is screw up the next round. So everybody
that was always happy and was like, well, then these
guys had an easy path and you dismiss it because
they played a twelve or a fourteen or or whatever
the case was, Like, we're just so fickle and just
so disingenuous with a lot of arguments that we make.
And that's part of the the conflict I have turning
(13:17):
on a microphone every day. You try to be straight lined,
you try to be consistent, but you watch everything around you.
It's like, no, you can't have it both ways. Either
want every number one and number two to fall or
you want what we.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Have this right, You're right, you want to, but I
just forget about that. What about the buzzer beaters? I mean,
you're not gonna give me any buzzer beaters? Like you
gave me one game. You may what one time? I'm
back in Texas? That guy, Okay, I mean I want
nothing nothing in the first two rounds.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
No, we had that Maryland. Was it was the dress
black or blue? By Walker? Didn't he? I mean you
can't tell me. You guys didn't waste a lot of
time arguing about that on Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No, but you invited me over for dinner and you said, here,
I got some appetizers, and you put out ten potato chips.
I mean, what kind of appetizer is that. You didn't
give me nothing in the tournament. You didn't give me
anything for me to get all geeked up for me, Like,
did you just see that game? Did you see that shot? Yeah?
We we had the one. As you mentioned that, a hug.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's what you need. You need a hug. You see
teams come out play good basketball.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You know what it's about. You know what it's about.
It's about the brackets.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's about but not every the good old days weren't
always good. It's another Billy Joel Mayor who's been with
me all week. It's been Billy Joel all all week long.
Once one day after another, I've got a Billy Joel
song for it. Good old day wasn't always good. Tomorrow
is not as bad as it seemed. Everybody crying about
the change in basketball and no buzzer beaters and everything else,
(14:46):
like just calm down, go for a walk. You know,
pet your dog shovel high.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
But that has nothing to do with But that has
nothing to do with the buzzer beaters, because when you're
watching the game, you have no idea to is going
to be a buzzer beater or not?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Right, But that's the point is you're in. You're either
in or you're out right right right, and and the
buzzer beater in, whether it exists or not, isn't going
to affect you game.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You want to do accounts receivable, you want to watch
the game.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Come, I want I want. I want the game to
be exciting. And you know what, if there's blowouts, that's
part of the price of admission. That means the good
teams are doing what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I want you to know there's two happy people about
that are happy about the NCAA tournament right now. That's
you and me. And you don't want to know why.
I don't think if you ask ninety nine percent of
the people out there, they're like, ten o'clock PM Eastern
tip off, ten twenty tip off, what is up with
these games? We're happy because we're on the air, but
(15:48):
this is ridiculous. Having this this late at night, tipping
off these games. That's just I've never realized. I don't
think you've ever had it this late at night, Mike.
It's it's crazy again.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
You're either in or you're out. Oh, staking an extra
twenty minutes is not It's more.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Than twenty minutes. It's after ten o'clock.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And I'm sorry. You've got to go to bedtime, you know,
I'm sorry. That's the way life works. It's not fair
to stay up a little later on a Friday night.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You want to stake yours from the people on the
East Coast to.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Bring them on in. If they care about this product.
The time of day doesn't matter. You rally the next day,
so you put an extra shot. Oh, you know in
your cup.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We complain about Sunday night football and Monday night football
all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's fine, so continue to complain. Move if it's that bad,
let's move. Move to the Central time zone, Move to
the Mountain time zone. Come out here to California. They
keep telling me that everybody's leaving, yet it takes me
two hours to get here every night. So all of
that to say, if it's too late for you, you
know what pick up another damn hobby.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, go out. I'll just move back out the Los Ange.
Why not get the get the West Coast Times, the
Pacific Coast Times.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's all I'm saying, Like whenever we get into these things,
like it's the price price of admission, Right, you've decided
what your your heart, but what you're gonna buy into,
and and and for a couple of weeks, guess what.
You go to bed a little bit later on the
Thursday and Friday nights.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You know, I got to get up early in the morning.
Gotta you know, you gotta do some sweet we all do.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I'm up five hours after I turn off my microphone
each day. Do I come in and complain about it? No,
I take it off that and I go back to work.
And then I wait for you and your yellow notepad
three hours after I've gone and tried to take a nap.
So like all of that to say, like, there's the
price of admission to this. And if you're on the
(17:46):
East Coast and you want to be a fan of
college buckets, guess what You're gonna have to stay up
a little.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Late, right, Well, they don't care about the ratings on
the East coast. That's why they started.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Oh yeah, no, they absolutely just ignore everybody on the
East Coast get out of here.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Well no, but it's true because if they're worried about it,
they'd move the times. It's all about accommodating the West
and the Central.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Well, you want you want to have more of those
folks available to you, and the East Coast folks. Guess
what they've proven time and time and again that they'll
be there if they really needed to shift things. You
don't tell me that the metric wouldn't have already told
them to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, Well, I just want to say this. I'm sure
we'll get into this later on talking about times. What
genius said, Hey, why do we have opening Day on
the Thursday of the NCAA tournament in baseball and put
like eight games all at four or five Eastern? What
genius came up with that idea? I gotta figure that out.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Well, we do have a super genius working with us
tonight on Friday. I love you Mary, I love you Shay.
But Steve Desager is over at the news desk. I'm sure, Hey,
don't do that. He'll come and find you because I mean, look,
he's Sunday Night. I mean, he can help control how
how often your microphone is on or off. But he
(19:00):
likes to do stuff about ratings. I'm sure he'll find
some nuggets about baseball again if they were worried about it.
Now what they need to do is figure out all
their damn problems with the MLB TV package. I've been
frozen out for two days, and as a guy who
has a very powerful blow torch of nearly five hundred
stations here on Fox Sports Radio, probably not a wise
(19:22):
thing to piss me off, because we'll rally some folks
around and when I've got you, I mean you've got
your army as well. At stick a genius one is
where you find him find me over at Swollen Dome.
We have argued quite a long while right on this one. Yeah,
right off the jump, we'll talk some nil transfer portal
and all of that fun. Coming up next. We got
(19:43):
some great quotes from a legend of the now Big Ten.

Hey, Welcome back, and tirerac dot com. Fox Sports Radio
Studios Mike Carmen alongside Arnie Spaniard. He's in for Jason
Smith to night Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon. Here
on a beautiful Friday night, a couple of college games going.
We got NBA in action, and of course Yoshinobu Yamamoto
taking on the Detroit Tigers here, second game of that series. Sorry,
(21:27):
at least if you're bored with the NCAA RNY, are
you at least excited about Major League Baseball being there?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I order to see if the Dodgers go one hundred
and sixty two and oh so okay, yeah, I'm rooting
for that. Otherwise, uh uh, you know, I want it.
It's crazy because we just got talking about how come
there's no you know, build up on Cooper Flag, how
come there's no build up on the Dodgers. The Dodgers
can go for the record of not do you.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Mean there's been no build up? That's all anybody's been
big up about for five months?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, maybecause I'm not in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But it just feels like, but now like that's been
the tail all the big bad Dodgers. Oh they're screwing
over the rest of Major League base They let them
spend this money.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
No no, no, no, don't. I don't mean about the money.
I meant that to the point where they may have
the best team. Some people think they have the best
team in the history of baseball. They may get one
hundred and twenty wins. When somebody was going when Golden
State was going for the record for wins in the NBA,
we couldn't get enough of that. We're like, oh, my goodness,
this is great. Go for it, go for it. And
(22:30):
you know, we look at the Dodgers, We're like, they
get one hundred and twenty wins and we just expect that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Wow, no fanfare, but that's thing. The expectation is there.
It is the second day of the US part of
the schedule, right, they're three, and oh that's great. But
it's a long build up to where we're talking about history. Right,
you still have Seattle in one sixteen, you still have
all of that process. And guess what, the Warriors, it
(22:56):
didn't matter, did it because they didn't finish the name Jiant.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Balls exactly exactly, but there was a build up four though.
People wanted to see if they were gonna get the record,
and then if they when they didn't win it, all
they went they put too much in the regular season.
That's why they didn't win it.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, no, they just didn't finish the job too much
in the regular season. That that's great revisionist history when
you don't get the job done. We work too hard
for those eighty two games. Right now, everybody that watches
and pays attention to the NBA would kill for teams
to do that for eighty two games a season.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh you're telling me, man, can you imagine that? So yeah,
I'm into I'm into the Dodgers. I'm you know, obviously
it is a good time because you got the NBA,
you got listed ten games left, so you gonna have
the playoffs around the corner. Hockey's got the playoffs, so
you know, I kind of I kind of like it.
Of course I love football, but it's a it's a
good to turn, you know, it's a good something else
(23:48):
to get all the four sports in there and enjoy
that too.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's a fun time of year, all of the you know,
Hope Springs Eternal. Look, I got my first win with
it with the White Sox. They night off because I
mean a lot of celebrating after you get a big
victory on an opening day. But it's just that that
part of the calendar, and for the NC DOUBLEA, it
doesn't have the same juice for me, Like things get compartmentalized, right.
(24:15):
I was telling Dan a little bit about this yesterday,
And it's not that you don't still love it, but
part of your your life cycle. You can only breathe
so much air into so many topics and events. Right,
at some point, You've got to sleep. At some point,
you got to take care of your kids.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Do you go to the games? You go to the dodge?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Are you going to get to go to the games?
Look where we are.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
There is weekends, you know, I mean there are weekends,
and there are day games.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
There are kids soccer games, there are kids activities and
more work, right, all of that things. Look, I'd love
to spend more time at the games. I get to
a few each year, and it's always the fun part
of the calendar. When you can actually get get out
to a game. It's certainly I'd love to do more,
(25:00):
but I get to break them down as we sit
here in our Tiraq dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios. Right.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So, Dodger Stadium is just gorgeous too. It's a great
is sure.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Getting in and out of there is you know, like
the fifth ring of Hell. And that I say that
with all affection to our brethren here and and to
our our teammates, the Dodgers over at AM five seven
e LA Sports. But not the easy like all the
venues here in LA and I know across the country.
So I was gonna say, well, my venue is even worse. No, No, look,
(25:29):
I have no doubt there's a lot of headaches getting
in and out of spaces and out of your different
arenas across the land. Dodger Stadium is. It's its own
special brand of parking and traffic. Hell. It was kind
of like going up to uh Candlestick Park once upon
a time because you only had one road going in
and out.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
San Diego was bad too, I remember leaving the Murph.
That was also just brutal getting in and out of
that the Merph. But Dodger Stadium I would go early
because I was doing my show there. So I get
there like hours early, and then when I was done,
I'd enjoy the game and maybe leave a couple of
innings early, so I'd beat the traffic just like everybody
else was there.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You go, which got you right back into traffic because
everybody else was pulling the same Shenanigans, no question about it.
But it's exciting to talk baseball, to talk about the
breath and scope of things. I did reach out to
Todd Firm because we mentioned the Michigan State the buzzer
beater at the end of that one a little bit earlier, Arnie,
(26:32):
in that it was a three and a half point spread.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Oh geez.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So when that shot went up.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It hit the back of the iron and just back.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Iron and dropped straight in marvel to make it a
seventy three seventy final over old miss. I reached out
to our guy, Todd Furman joined you and Chris Blank
on Sundays and certainly is a weekly fixture with Smith
and I here, and he chuckled. He gave me a
couple of one liners, and he goes, boy, you want
to talk about a significant shot. Seventy eight percent of
(27:06):
money was on Michigan State minus three and a half.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Oh wow, that was.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
A stat I found online a little bit earlier. But Todd,
you know, noted that there was some movement and as
the game goes on, you get some live betting, So
there was a definitely a lot of ways to get
middled in that as well. So one of those for
betters where you potentially took the worst of it for
that outcome. But for tom Izzo, you know a guy
(27:31):
that you know, we've talked about izo in March and
we were going through it Brandon in the back, our
associate producer today and we start going down the list
of guys with multiple titles and some of tom Izzo
is like, well, he's only got one but still consistently
winning at a high raty And they're showing him on
the broadcast right now as he takes in Michigan Auburn.
(27:52):
They'll play the winner of this one. So either he
continues his dominance over the SEC, which is a fun
little story there. MSU historically twelve and zero against the
SEC in the NCAA tournament, is himself now ten and oh.
After the win over Ole Miss a little bit earlier,
he was crying, uh, thinking about what he's going through
(28:13):
with this squad. They've been pretty bad in a lot
of first halves of games.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think it was the eighteenth time they said they've
come back from a deficive at least ten points this season.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Wow. Wow, Misissippi totally. They totally out played him in
the first half too. Michigan State shouldn't have even been close,
so it was only a two point spread at the half,
and I said to myself, Oh, they're so close. And
then they came out in the second half and they
shot horrible. I think they missed what eight of the
first nine or nine of their first ten, and they
were just miserable. I'm like, Okay, I guess it's just
not going to be their year. But you remember, Iso
(28:45):
finds a way to pull it out with his team,
and that's exactly what he did. I don't want to
see Michigan Michigan State though. I that's that's going to suck.
And by the way, that suck.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
You got extra juice in state rivalry. Yeah, crafty veteran
against the first year coach, couple of seven footers. Come on,
we got everything.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I'm pulling for Aubart in this one. I want to
see Auvard go ahead and win this one and then
see a coach per advance. I like him, so we'll
see what happens. I lost my fifty dollars parlay.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Listen to that is true, the alleged parlay I had.
Did you go to the game? No, you didn't go
to it. No, I didn't go to the game, But
I know that was a big topic. Yeah, guys, this
last I.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Was really going to go if they had won. Maybe
I was gonna go right after this show and go
for Saturday's game. Fifty dollars parlay with Arizona winning to
the Knicks winning the championship would have paid about ten
thousand dollars. If I would have waited about four months
to place that bet, my fifty dollars parlay would have
paid sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, and there's a reason why it would have paid away. Well,
but that's the point. There's a reason it would have
paid sixty thousand dollars. Something we talked about on air
earlier in the week, Arnie I posture I positive this
one up for you is someone has a live parlay.
It was a five dollars parlay. We had all of
the titles, so Tennessee Baseball, the Dodgers into Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
So the three winners right there.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So it's however, forget how many legs it had. I
think this would be forge six. Well, no, it had
one more before this. Okay, okay, So there was another
another title in there, whether it was hockey or the NBA,
and then you get to this one. So he has
a potential buyout of fifty k with Dukes still live,
or if Duke hits, it pays out one hundred and
(30:33):
sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Now, and it was only five dollars to begin with.
There's ways around this, Chris. What I would do was
a special you just call me. Oh, I'm sorry, I
called you Chris. I'm sorry. That's worse than calling me Mark.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
What do we do it?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
You know what? There's ways around me that.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
That's just absolutely insulting.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Oh stop it. I could call you Chris. I could
call you Chris blank as who else. I've been talking
to him for a decade, So I'm sorry I called Wow.
I called Chris. But what you could do is, now,
since there's only three games left and you could possibly
win one hundred and sixty seven thousand, dollars. You could
bet like twenty five thousand dollars on Duke to lose
(31:13):
the next game, and if they win, then you still
got it go and you lose your twenty five thousand,
but you're just still in it for one hundred and
sixty seven thousand.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, you could play games and try to go that route.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
So that that's what I'm sure the real betters do.
The Sharps do something like that. They'll do it for
the last two games, maybe maybe three. You could pick
her five, ten, fifteen, twenty, depending on how much you
want to middle there. So you could do something like
that also. But I'm leinning it ride. I'm going for
the whole one hundred and sixty seven thousand. I'm not
taking the fifty thousand dollars now.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I'm trying to figure out a way to do the
fuzzy math to keep my earnings going. But you know what,
maybe when Todd joins you in Chris on Sunday, you
guys can ask him that question.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yes, thank you, fair, we know what day it is.
They'll take it personal.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
We're here at the tyrack dot Com studios. Uh, let's
turn it over to Steve de Sager. We know his name.
He's a wizard and he'll put that's worse than that. Yeah,
he's already. Spanni your in for Jason Smith. That's sticking
genius one where you find buy me over at Swallen Dome.
As we continue, big payday for one college coach and
(32:28):
maybe we have a real future in this whole coaching game.
We'll talk about it next year on Fox.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Start swaying, Get after it. It's a big Friday night.
Thanks for hanging out with us here Jason Smith Show
with me Mike Carmon live from the tyrack dot com
Fox Sports Radio Studios. Arnie Span your in for Jason tonight. Hey,
don't have the right team on the court. Express Employment
Professionals can help from contract placements the full time hires.
We've got you covered. Visit expresspros dot com today and
(33:02):
let us handle your hiring so that you could focus
on growing your business, you know, the important stuff. Get
after it all right, coming up in about ten minutes,
we'll get into some of the unintended consequences, some of
the largests of the nil and portal situation, because there's
a lot of handwringing going on right now with it.
(33:23):
I kind of shrug and say, well, you kind of
kind of should have known what was coming, didn't you.
Didn't you anticipate? You got lots of smart people in
these rooms. We'll talk about that really and a couple Well,
you know what, It always goes back to something our
former colleague Tom Looney would say, just because you're in
charge doesn't mean you know what you're doing. I'm paraphrasing
(33:44):
a bit of what Looney would say, But but there
you have it, all right, big contract announcement today, Dion
Sanders with a five year, fifty four million dollar extend
you to stay at the University of Colorado.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Well deserved too, He deserves it. He's done a phenomenal job.
I'm curious to see how he's going to do without
Travis Hunter and his son at quarterback. So it's a
whole new level. He's got something new to prove all.
Everybody's gonna have the eyes on him, like, Okay, you've
you've done it the last couple of years. You've built
up a team from the ground up. But you've had
(34:21):
your sons, you've had a Hunter. Now, what are you
gonna do let's see how the recruiting trail goes. But
it is well deserved. It is the contract. It makes
you wonder how did Colorado come up with that type
of money. It's like the same money as you get
in some of these big, you know, college football factories.
So I guess there's money for the right coach if
they really think you could keep the uh the program
(34:43):
at data leader level. So the good good for Dion
forgetting that.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Well, but that's part of it, right, is you're you're
saying a lot of this was Dion and that he'll
get the next guys to come in to while they
may not have the same flash as his son and
Travis Hunter had. I mean, it's awful hard to top
what they were doing. You've got applications are up to
come to the school. Right, football team does well, basketball
(35:07):
team does well, Applications follow Right, You're in the national cycle,
You're in the consciousness.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You got the portal too. That's the big thing there.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Well, But that's the other part is that you're you're
thinking that the the wisdom of Dion the staff that
he's assembled a bunch of Hall of famers and guys
with huge resumes, that it's it's a good place to
go and learn and grow, and that the money will
will find its way to Colorado. And for me, part
(35:37):
of it is the I'll be the first to raise
my hand and go. I wasn't sure that he was
long for the coaching game, right, I had a couple
of years ago it was all right, is he just
doing this? You know, because we see it at all levels. Right.
I always gave Smith crap for it is at some
point someone else has to coach your.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Kid, right, right, right? I thought he was gonna leave
when when his kids left and Hunter was leaving, I
thought he'd take another job. I thought he'd be at
the Cowboys by now.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Well.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
But that's the thing. I didn't even think he'd do that.
So I get regret it for, you know, wanting to
be long into the coaching game, I wondered aloud, And
maybe changed and started to think about it a little
differently as the year went on this year with what
Colorado did, But part of it was that he wanted
(36:23):
to see it through and build something and then maybe
just leave the keys for someone behind him. But instead
he's going to stay and try to show some continuity
there in Colorado extra five years, keep building that program
back to I mean, because we remember what it was
long long ago, right, and maybe you get that staying power.
(36:44):
And part of it is also to say that it
wasn't just the ability of his son and Travis Hunter
to do as well as they did. And let's face it,
I mean, they didn't do anything earth shattering, but they
were competitive, right, and they had some flash moments. You
want a heisman all of that that you want to say, hey,
I can coach. And it wasn't just on the backs
of those two plays.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Right right. We'll see what he does. There'll be a
lot of eyes on him this time around, and there's
always eyes on Dian. He's used to it. But he
certainly deserves that contract, no doubt about that.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Good for him. Congratulations coach Sanders. Look forward to the
next iteration of the Colorado Buffaloes. He's already in for Jason.
As we continue, we'll talk about the nil, the portal,

If you're listening to Fox Sports Radio, greetings and welcome
in a big Friday Night on tap here Fox Sports
Radio Jason Smith Show with Me Mike Harmon. No Jason
Smith and I'll be back on Monday, and our cavalcade
of stars we end the week is only well, it's
the only way we can. It's the stinking genius himself,
(00:46):
Arnie Spaniard. Now, the only thing that's missing for this one, Arnie,
is it would have been better if the Arizona Wildcats
were playing during this window.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That was killing me. You know what I was when
I was on the air doing the air on an
Oregon game. I wouldn't let plane talk to me. I
just don't talk to me.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
For the home I took the off.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I took the hour, hour and fifteen minutes off. I
just sat here watch You don't tell the boss. I
was just watching the game.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
A lot of folks let other people do the talking
for an hour. I thought we were going to say
at a time on their show, so that, I mean,
that wouldn't be anything.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, I thought we were gonna come back and win that.
I'm very disappointed, man. I it was okay, you know,
the right before the half, the the two three pointers
and they're up by six. She didn't feel good going
into the half. And then it got up to what
it was eighteen or twenty or whatever it was, and
then they fought back and oh, they just didn't get
the right break. Duke was the better team. They took
(01:40):
care of us in Tucson. So right, best to look
to the Cooper flagman, some damn good man. Someone hit him.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Man him.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
We're gonna shove get him off his market.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That guy and keep him away from the big shots.
You did refer to the end of half shot Cooper Flag.
We were on air Dan Byer and I and watching
that game, and it's in the final minutes, right. We
always talk about the final four and a half beginning
for the next in football, and certainly we saw that
here let's hear that Cooper Flag half court shots.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You just want to hear it again.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I do about it.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
They've got three seconds, flag deep, three balls. Absolutely had
a show of emotion for the best player in America.
Cooper Flag just hit from the long range right before
hand time that never should have happened. Was Arizona shot
the ball? Farks up, arnieks up, sarks up. Barney, come on,
(02:40):
so what does that even mean? I didn't even know
what that You know what it means, State didn't even
make the tournaments.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Doesn't mean he's not going to come over the top
on you. We've got Mary Mack, who's cackling niaclee uh yeah,
you'r your best friend. And then Shay as our executive producer.
Really you're doing the who come on? That ends badly?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You remember Story Football. I'm just I'm just very crabby,
very crabvy about that one.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, twenty four hours, like if you were like I
debated calling you while we were on air.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Mike, you know, I have to say this a million times.
I tell you, tell Plank, I'm a bigger sports fan
than you guys are, Okay, and it takes me a
little bit longer to get over my Arizona losses. You
you went to what a JC junior college? You went
to Northwestern, So you get over those losses real easy,
you know that. Just you just shrug it off, just
(03:36):
like Plank does.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You know, Well, part of it is being a grown
up and being an adult and getting business. And I'm
not saying that they don't sting like it's talked about
it on air a lot. My guy Jason Smith that
you know, is normally in this slot with me. He
lives and dies with each of bat so us. Getting
(03:59):
to play that baout for Soto yesterday it was kind
of fun. It was everything came up harmon yesterday except
for the Cubs win at the end of the night.
But the White Sox win the opener against the Angels
in resounding fashion.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That probably won't happened for a long time now.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Over at Rate Field, well, I mean, look, I got
a couple of nice friendly bets with some Angel fans
on that the season record because they're both not going
to be very good. But I'll take the opening day
win and go. I'm surrounded by Lakers fans being here
in the Fox Sports Radio studios, the Tirax studios in
Los Angeles, which meant the Josh Giddy shot that was insane.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
How could nobody's bringing up the lebron in was a lebron?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I mean nobody did. We did it live on air
and hammered him for what was probably the worst fifteen
to twenty seconds of basketball in his adult life.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No, but it was the inbound past that s oh.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was terrible, and he immediately started pointing and trying
to blame other people for not cutting after playing horrible
defense where he drifted into no man's land allowing the
three point shot before said inbat I.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Just didn't see a lot of people criticizing him over that.
I'm just like, my goodness, man, what kind of have
passes that? Now?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Are Barney? Now? Remember as much as we've enjoyed the
soap opera acting of the urnal List, and he's earned
one hundred million dollars plus Steven A. Smith because that
jade dropped off a long time ago, of course, right,
it's now the journalism part of things has gone away,
and good for them. We're still talking about it. Get
(05:35):
your clicks, get your ratings and whatever else, and keep
the slap fight going forever. But there's a lot of
people and even Lebron in that McAfee interview, you know,
kind of started going at folks who've made a cottage
industry of covering Lebron James, which means the sycophantic part
of things, and you want the good being, the good
graces of clutch sports and all of their their tentacles.
(05:59):
Mean you're only gonna criticize so far, which means the
the heroics become a Hey, look at the shot from Giddy.
Look at the shot from Kobe White right as oppose
you don't look over here where guys are getting lost
on defense. Lebron makes a half ass inbound pass, and
then you don't bother to try to cover up the shooter.
Not that a half court shot is anything. That's just
(06:21):
easy as can be. But you know, Giddy got to
take what two dribbles and got a clean looks dead center.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, no, I mean, look at he'll make that one
out of a hundred times. It just happened to be
that one time. And by the way, when when you
brought up all that stuff about the players, you know
where the problem is is, it's for the first time
in a long time we have a big disconnect between
the players and the fans and between the media and
the players, and it's getting to be real bad. It's
(06:50):
getting to be very toxic, as you see with Lebron
and him calling out Winhorst and him called out Stevin
a Smith and him calling out everybody. It seems like
so it's gonna to be real toxic out there. I've
never seen it this bad before in my life.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But this is also performative. It's not even funny, aren't
he from the Hey, let me address this on the court.
You could have done that a million different times. You
wanted to do it for show, so he did it
on the But.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
The fans are having a disconnect also with the with
the players too, I believe.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well. But part of it is you own your own
narrative once upon a time, and folks can be critical
of it. It was a simpler time in that you
only got what players and teams wanted you to get.
Because guys were traveling with the team, they might have
been paid by the team. There were few of them.
Not everybody was a would be journalist with a camera
(07:44):
on their phone that would catch things being done during
timeouts or you know how a guy's given the coach
side eye, or what's going on during during the timeouts
on the side, or or maybe in game action where
we'd get we get more of that because you've got
so many people that want to be the one to
catch the guy in a in the awkward moment. And
(08:07):
for Lebron and company, look, player agency goes both ways. Right,
They're they're going to have access to the fans and
be able to get their message out. But when they're
a little salty, they can come back over the top
because let's face it, they have the power. And Adam
Silver and the and the NBA have allowed that to
go on for a long time. And I'm not saying
it's it's a wrong thing of just saying we've hit
(08:28):
kind of a tipping point.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, not yet. I was about to say we were
gonna did we hit the boiling point? I don't think
so yet. It's only it's only going to get worse.
That's Stephen A Smith encounter with Lebron. That's that's just
the start of things. Don't get worse.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's that's just comedy. Like if like if one of
them actually thrown a hand or took a real.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Stephen said, he you'll throw it out next time if he.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Had his chance? What did he do right? If he
It's all just great talking points, right, It's been great
theater for this last week and a half or however
long it's been the far too long, in my opinion,
we're talking about it now. This is the most we've
really breathed air into it. I've made my jokes about
(09:11):
the performative nature of it, you know, in passing as
we've talked about things. But you know, folks have given
it a lot of life. And for Steven A, he's
cackling all the way to his one hundred million dollars
for Lebron James. We're talking about Lebron and the more
there's there's life in this. When he has the lapses
as he did at that the end of the game
(09:32):
against the Bulls, it's not nearly as sillacious because we
expect that from a forty year old guy in the
in the final seconds of a game.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And also, a regular season doesn't mean as much now
as it used to be. For some reason. It's just like, okay,
it's just another game, well wait till the playoffs. Doesn't
mean but some of.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It it also, it really never did, but we focused
on it perhaps a bit more. Maybe we're a little
more distracted so we don't hunker down. It's part of
the reason when we talk about the NCAA tournament and
you're bringing up the heroics of Cooper Flag. It's something
that Dan Byer and I talked about when he was
in the chair with me yesterday. Is he's done his job.
He's been sensational, but there's so much else going on
(10:10):
in the sporting universe. He's doing what we expected him
to do, so there's not the same level of build up, right,
it's no prize.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
It's funny you said, because I was gonna say that
the build up on Cooper Flag, not even a tenth
of him, was for like what was with Magic Johnson
and Larry Bird and just taking all the superstars all
the way up till now. He's like a tenth of
the of the coverage or of the talk going on.
(10:38):
And he's supposed to be the number one pick. He
is going to be the number one pick. He's the
best guy by far. He's a great player. How good
is he going to be?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I mean, is he gonna be a Hall of Famer
right off the bat. I can't tell you, but he
just looks so awesome. But yet he doesn't get any
of the press, any of the accolades, any of the
I mean, he was the first guy, and how long
to get the acc what Rookie of the Year and
Player of the Year, and my goodness, man, just look
what he's done. He's just tremendous.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well, let me let me say this to Yarnie and
we'll get back to Lebron. James here in a second.
Is perhaps finally as a media, as much as we're
blowing up this stupid ass Steven a Lebron nonsense, right, right,
Maybe we got the Cooper flag right. We didn't deify
him and put him up on Mount Rushmore, build statues
and bow and genuflect to him. And it's the first
(11:28):
time we've done that with the top prospect in a
long time. Maybe we actually got one right because we
were too distracted with his other nonsense.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Look at the difference between a top player. Let's say
Kago Williams, the quarterback for the Bears, right and before
he even came in all favor.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, but football is a different animal. Like football fills
all the oction, Like right now, we can do four
hours standing on our heads about the nonsense of Russell
Wilson's signing with the Giants, or what's Aaron Rodger going
to do on the large scale. Yeah, we'll see what
happens right as we go through it. But you know,
for college buckets, it's been reduced to all unless you're
(12:09):
really in, Like you're really into it, right and you're
into your conference, you're into your team. You live and
die with your Wildcats. That was the point I was
making with Smith earlier, is I envy that it's still
so hard for him game to game, And then you
were you.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You weren't enjoying I was. I'm the same way as you.
I'm like, all great, Mike's Mike's not enjoying the tournament.
I wasn't enjoying the.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's not that I'm not enjoying it. Like Cinderella. The specialness,
and I've said this all week, is is that she
only showed up once in a while, Like in terms
of a real run, right right, the winning one game,
that's not Cinderella, but that's an anomaly. That's a one game.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Like I don't need her to go far just give
me the one, the one win, give me, give me
a buzz buzzer beaters, right, but then all.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It does is screw up the next round. So everybody
that was always happy and was like, well, then these
guys had an easy path and you dismiss it because
they played a twelve or a fourteen or or whatever
the case was, Like, we're just so fickle and just
so disingenuous with a lot of arguments that we make.
And that's part of the the conflict I have turning
(13:17):
on a microphone every day. You try to be straight lined,
you try to be consistent, but you watch everything around you.
It's like, no, you can't have it both ways. Either
want every number one and number two to fall or
you want what we.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Have this right, You're right, you want to, but I
just forget about that. What about the buzzer beaters? I mean,
you're not gonna give me any buzzer beaters? Like you
gave me one game. You may what one time? I'm
back in Texas? That guy, Okay, I mean I want
nothing nothing in the first two rounds.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
No, we had that Maryland. Was it was the dress
black or blue? By Walker? Didn't he? I mean you
can't tell me. You guys didn't waste a lot of
time arguing about that on Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No, but you invited me over for dinner and you said, here,
I got some appetizers, and you put out ten potato chips.
I mean, what kind of appetizer is that. You didn't
give me nothing in the tournament. You didn't give me
anything for me to get all geeked up for me, Like,
did you just see that game? Did you see that shot? Yeah?
We we had the one. As you mentioned that, a hug.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's what you need. You need a hug. You see
teams come out play good basketball.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You know what it's about. You know what it's about.
It's about the brackets.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's about but not every the good old days weren't
always good. It's another Billy Joel Mayor who's been with
me all week. It's been Billy Joel all all week long.
Once one day after another, I've got a Billy Joel
song for it. Good old day wasn't always good. Tomorrow
is not as bad as it seemed. Everybody crying about
the change in basketball and no buzzer beaters and everything else,
(14:46):
like just calm down, go for a walk. You know,
pet your dog shovel high.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
But that has nothing to do with But that has
nothing to do with the buzzer beaters, because when you're
watching the game, you have no idea to is going
to be a buzzer beater or not?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Right, But that's the point is you're in. You're either
in or you're out right right right, and and the
buzzer beater in, whether it exists or not, isn't going
to affect you game.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You want to do accounts receivable, you want to watch
the game.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Come, I want I want. I want the game to
be exciting. And you know what, if there's blowouts, that's
part of the price of admission. That means the good
teams are doing what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I want you to know there's two happy people about
that are happy about the NCAA tournament right now. That's
you and me. And you don't want to know why.
I don't think if you ask ninety nine percent of
the people out there, they're like, ten o'clock PM Eastern
tip off, ten twenty tip off, what is up with
these games? We're happy because we're on the air, but
(15:48):
this is ridiculous. Having this this late at night, tipping
off these games. That's just I've never realized. I don't
think you've ever had it this late at night, Mike.
It's it's crazy again.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
You're either in or you're out. Oh, staking an extra
twenty minutes is not It's more.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Than twenty minutes. It's after ten o'clock.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And I'm sorry. You've got to go to bedtime, you know,
I'm sorry. That's the way life works. It's not fair
to stay up a little later on a Friday night.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You want to stake yours from the people on the
East Coast to.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Bring them on in. If they care about this product.
The time of day doesn't matter. You rally the next day,
so you put an extra shot. Oh, you know in
your cup.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We complain about Sunday night football and Monday night football
all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's fine, so continue to complain. Move if it's that bad,
let's move. Move to the Central time zone, Move to
the Mountain time zone. Come out here to California. They
keep telling me that everybody's leaving, yet it takes me
two hours to get here every night. So all of
that to say, if it's too late for you, you
know what pick up another damn hobby.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, go out. I'll just move back out the Los Ange.
Why not get the get the West Coast Times, the
Pacific Coast Times.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's all I'm saying, Like whenever we get into these things,
like it's the price price of admission, Right, you've decided
what your your heart, but what you're gonna buy into,
and and and for a couple of weeks, guess what.
You go to bed a little bit later on the
Thursday and Friday nights.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You know, I got to get up early in the morning.
Gotta you know, you gotta do some sweet we all do.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I'm up five hours after I turn off my microphone
each day. Do I come in and complain about it? No,
I take it off that and I go back to work.
And then I wait for you and your yellow notepad
three hours after I've gone and tried to take a nap.
So like all of that to say, like, there's the
price of admission to this. And if you're on the
(17:46):
East Coast and you want to be a fan of
college buckets, guess what You're gonna have to stay up
a little.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Late, right, Well, they don't care about the ratings on
the East coast. That's why they started.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Oh yeah, no, they absolutely just ignore everybody on the
East Coast get out of here.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Well no, but it's true because if they're worried about it,
they'd move the times. It's all about accommodating the West
and the Central.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Well, you want you want to have more of those
folks available to you, and the East Coast folks. Guess
what they've proven time and time and again that they'll
be there if they really needed to shift things. You
don't tell me that the metric wouldn't have already told
them to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, Well, I just want to say this. I'm sure
we'll get into this later on talking about times. What
genius said, Hey, why do we have opening Day on
the Thursday of the NCAA tournament in baseball and put
like eight games all at four or five Eastern? What
genius came up with that idea? I gotta figure that out.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Well, we do have a super genius working with us
tonight on Friday. I love you Mary, I love you Shay.
But Steve Desager is over at the news desk. I'm sure, Hey,
don't do that. He'll come and find you because I mean, look,
he's Sunday Night. I mean, he can help control how
how often your microphone is on or off. But he
(19:00):
likes to do stuff about ratings. I'm sure he'll find
some nuggets about baseball again if they were worried about it.
Now what they need to do is figure out all
their damn problems with the MLB TV package. I've been
frozen out for two days, and as a guy who
has a very powerful blow torch of nearly five hundred
stations here on Fox Sports Radio, probably not a wise
(19:22):
thing to piss me off, because we'll rally some folks
around and when I've got you, I mean you've got
your army as well. At stick a genius one is
where you find him find me over at Swollen Dome.
We have argued quite a long while right on this one. Yeah,
right off the jump, we'll talk some nil transfer portal
and all of that fun. Coming up next. We got
(19:43):

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Hey, Welcome back, and tirerac dot com. Fox Sports Radio
Studios Mike Carmen alongside Arnie Spaniard. He's in for Jason
Smith to night Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon. Here
on a beautiful Friday night, a couple of college games going.
We got NBA in action, and of course Yoshinobu Yamamoto
taking on the Detroit Tigers here, second game of that series. Sorry,
(21:27):
at least if you're bored with the NCAA RNY, are
you at least excited about Major League Baseball being there?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I order to see if the Dodgers go one hundred
and sixty two and oh so okay, yeah, I'm rooting
for that. Otherwise, uh uh, you know, I want it.
It's crazy because we just got talking about how come
there's no you know, build up on Cooper Flag, how
come there's no build up on the Dodgers. The Dodgers
can go for the record of not do you.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Mean there's been no build up? That's all anybody's been
big up about for five months?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, maybecause I'm not in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But it just feels like, but now like that's been
the tail all the big bad Dodgers. Oh they're screwing
over the rest of Major League base They let them
spend this money.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
No no, no, no, don't. I don't mean about the money.
I meant that to the point where they may have
the best team. Some people think they have the best
team in the history of baseball. They may get one
hundred and twenty wins. When somebody was going when Golden
State was going for the record for wins in the NBA,
we couldn't get enough of that. We're like, oh, my goodness,
this is great. Go for it, go for it. And
(22:30):
you know, we look at the Dodgers, We're like, they
get one hundred and twenty wins and we just expect that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Wow, no fanfare, but that's thing. The expectation is there.
It is the second day of the US part of
the schedule, right, they're three, and oh that's great. But
it's a long build up to where we're talking about history. Right,
you still have Seattle in one sixteen, you still have
all of that process. And guess what, the Warriors, it
(22:56):
didn't matter, did it because they didn't finish the name Jiant.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Balls exactly exactly, but there was a build up four though.
People wanted to see if they were gonna get the record,
and then if they when they didn't win it, all
they went they put too much in the regular season.
That's why they didn't win it.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, no, they just didn't finish the job too much
in the regular season. That that's great revisionist history when
you don't get the job done. We work too hard
for those eighty two games. Right now, everybody that watches
and pays attention to the NBA would kill for teams
to do that for eighty two games a season.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh you're telling me, man, can you imagine that? So yeah,
I'm into I'm into the Dodgers. I'm you know, obviously
it is a good time because you got the NBA,
you got listed ten games left, so you gonna have
the playoffs around the corner. Hockey's got the playoffs, so
you know, I kind of I kind of like it.
Of course I love football, but it's a it's a
good to turn, you know, it's a good something else
(23:48):
to get all the four sports in there and enjoy
that too.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's a fun time of year, all of the you know,
Hope Springs Eternal. Look, I got my first win with
it with the White Sox. They night off because I
mean a lot of celebrating after you get a big
victory on an opening day. But it's just that that
part of the calendar, and for the NC DOUBLEA, it
doesn't have the same juice for me, Like things get compartmentalized, right.
(24:15):
I was telling Dan a little bit about this yesterday,
And it's not that you don't still love it, but
part of your your life cycle. You can only breathe
so much air into so many topics and events. Right,
at some point, You've got to sleep. At some point,
you got to take care of your kids.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Do you go to the games? You go to the dodge?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Are you going to get to go to the games?
Look where we are.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
There is weekends, you know, I mean there are weekends,
and there are day games.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
There are kids soccer games, there are kids activities and
more work, right, all of that things. Look, I'd love
to spend more time at the games. I get to
a few each year, and it's always the fun part
of the calendar. When you can actually get get out
to a game. It's certainly I'd love to do more,
(25:00):
but I get to break them down as we sit
here in our Tiraq dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios. Right.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So, Dodger Stadium is just gorgeous too. It's a great
is sure.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Getting in and out of there is you know, like
the fifth ring of Hell. And that I say that
with all affection to our brethren here and and to
our our teammates, the Dodgers over at AM five seven
e LA Sports. But not the easy like all the
venues here in LA and I know across the country.
So I was gonna say, well, my venue is even worse. No, No, look,
(25:29):
I have no doubt there's a lot of headaches getting
in and out of spaces and out of your different
arenas across the land. Dodger Stadium is. It's its own
special brand of parking and traffic. Hell. It was kind
of like going up to uh Candlestick Park once upon
a time because you only had one road going in
and out.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
San Diego was bad too, I remember leaving the Murph.
That was also just brutal getting in and out of
that the Merph. But Dodger Stadium I would go early
because I was doing my show there. So I get
there like hours early, and then when I was done,
I'd enjoy the game and maybe leave a couple of
innings early, so I'd beat the traffic just like everybody
else was there.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You go, which got you right back into traffic because
everybody else was pulling the same Shenanigans, no question about it.
But it's exciting to talk baseball, to talk about the
breath and scope of things. I did reach out to
Todd Firm because we mentioned the Michigan State the buzzer
beater at the end of that one a little bit earlier, Arnie,
(26:32):
in that it was a three and a half point spread.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Oh geez.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So when that shot went up.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It hit the back of the iron and just back.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Iron and dropped straight in marvel to make it a
seventy three seventy final over old miss. I reached out
to our guy, Todd Furman joined you and Chris Blank
on Sundays and certainly is a weekly fixture with Smith
and I here, and he chuckled. He gave me a
couple of one liners, and he goes, boy, you want
to talk about a significant shot. Seventy eight percent of
(27:06):
money was on Michigan State minus three and a half.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Oh wow, that was.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
A stat I found online a little bit earlier. But Todd,
you know, noted that there was some movement and as
the game goes on, you get some live betting, So
there was a definitely a lot of ways to get
middled in that as well. So one of those for
betters where you potentially took the worst of it for
that outcome. But for tom Izzo, you know a guy
(27:31):
that you know, we've talked about izo in March and
we were going through it Brandon in the back, our
associate producer today and we start going down the list
of guys with multiple titles and some of tom Izzo
is like, well, he's only got one but still consistently
winning at a high raty And they're showing him on
the broadcast right now as he takes in Michigan Auburn.
(27:52):
They'll play the winner of this one. So either he
continues his dominance over the SEC, which is a fun
little story there. MSU historically twelve and zero against the
SEC in the NCAA tournament, is himself now ten and oh.
After the win over Ole Miss a little bit earlier,
he was crying, uh, thinking about what he's going through
(28:13):
with this squad. They've been pretty bad in a lot
of first halves of games.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think it was the eighteenth time they said they've
come back from a deficive at least ten points this season.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Wow. Wow, Misissippi totally. They totally out played him in
the first half too. Michigan State shouldn't have even been close,
so it was only a two point spread at the half,
and I said to myself, Oh, they're so close. And
then they came out in the second half and they
shot horrible. I think they missed what eight of the
first nine or nine of their first ten, and they
were just miserable. I'm like, Okay, I guess it's just
not going to be their year. But you remember, Iso
(28:45):
finds a way to pull it out with his team,
and that's exactly what he did. I don't want to
see Michigan Michigan State though. I that's that's going to suck.
And by the way, that suck.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
You got extra juice in state rivalry. Yeah, crafty veteran
against the first year coach, couple of seven footers. Come on,
we got everything.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I'm pulling for Aubart in this one. I want to
see Auvard go ahead and win this one and then
see a coach per advance. I like him, so we'll
see what happens. I lost my fifty dollars parlay.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Listen to that is true, the alleged parlay I had.
Did you go to the game? No, you didn't go
to it. No, I didn't go to the game, But
I know that was a big topic. Yeah, guys, this
last I.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Was really going to go if they had won. Maybe
I was gonna go right after this show and go
for Saturday's game. Fifty dollars parlay with Arizona winning to
the Knicks winning the championship would have paid about ten
thousand dollars. If I would have waited about four months
to place that bet, my fifty dollars parlay would have
paid sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, and there's a reason why it would have paid away. Well,
but that's the point. There's a reason it would have
paid sixty thousand dollars. Something we talked about on air
earlier in the week, Arnie I posture I positive this
one up for you is someone has a live parlay.
It was a five dollars parlay. We had all of
the titles, so Tennessee Baseball, the Dodgers into Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
So the three winners right there.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So it's however, forget how many legs it had. I
think this would be forge six. Well, no, it had
one more before this. Okay, okay, So there was another
another title in there, whether it was hockey or the NBA,
and then you get to this one. So he has
a potential buyout of fifty k with Dukes still live,
or if Duke hits, it pays out one hundred and
(30:33):
sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Now, and it was only five dollars to begin with.
There's ways around this, Chris. What I would do was
a special you just call me. Oh, I'm sorry, I
called you Chris. I'm sorry. That's worse than calling me Mark.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
What do we do it?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
You know what? There's ways around me that.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
That's just absolutely insulting.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Oh stop it. I could call you Chris. I could
call you Chris blank as who else. I've been talking
to him for a decade, So I'm sorry I called Wow.
I called Chris. But what you could do is, now,
since there's only three games left and you could possibly
win one hundred and sixty seven thousand, dollars. You could
bet like twenty five thousand dollars on Duke to lose
(31:13):
the next game, and if they win, then you still
got it go and you lose your twenty five thousand,
but you're just still in it for one hundred and
sixty seven thousand.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, you could play games and try to go that route.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
So that that's what I'm sure the real betters do.
The Sharps do something like that. They'll do it for
the last two games, maybe maybe three. You could pick
her five, ten, fifteen, twenty, depending on how much you
want to middle there. So you could do something like
that also. But I'm leinning it ride. I'm going for
the whole one hundred and sixty seven thousand. I'm not
taking the fifty thousand dollars now.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I'm trying to figure out a way to do the
fuzzy math to keep my earnings going. But you know what,
maybe when Todd joins you in Chris on Sunday, you
guys can ask him that question.
Speaker 3 (31:59):

after it all right, coming up in about ten minutes,
we'll get into some of the unintended consequences, some of
the largests of the nil and portal situation, because there's
a lot of handwringing going on right now with it.
(33:23):
I kind of shrug and say, well, you kind of
kind of should have known what was coming, didn't you.
Didn't you anticipate? You got lots of smart people in
these rooms. We'll talk about that really and a couple Well,
you know what, It always goes back to something our
former colleague Tom Looney would say, just because you're in
charge doesn't mean you know what you're doing. I'm paraphrasing
(33:44):
a bit of what Looney would say, But but there
you have it, all right, big contract announcement today, Dion
Sanders with a five year, fifty four million dollar extend
you to stay at the University of Colorado.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Well deserved too, He deserves it. He's done a phenomenal job.
I'm curious to see how he's going to do without
Travis Hunter and his son at quarterback. So it's a
whole new level. He's got something new to prove all.
Everybody's gonna have the eyes on him, like, Okay, you've
you've done it the last couple of years. You've built
up a team from the ground up. But you've had
(34:21):
your sons, you've had a Hunter. Now, what are you
gonna do let's see how the recruiting trail goes. But
it is well deserved. It is the contract. It makes
you wonder how did Colorado come up with that type
of money. It's like the same money as you get
in some of these big, you know, college football factories.
So I guess there's money for the right coach if
they really think you could keep the uh the program
(34:43):
at data leader level. So the good good for Dion
forgetting that.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Well, but that's part of it, right, is you're you're
saying a lot of this was Dion and that he'll
get the next guys to come in to while they
may not have the same flash as his son and
Travis Hunter had. I mean, it's awful hard to top
what they were doing. You've got applications are up to
come to the school. Right, football team does well, basketball
(35:07):
team does well, Applications follow Right, You're in the national cycle,
You're in the consciousness.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You got the portal too. That's the big thing there.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Well, But that's the other part is that you're you're
thinking that the the wisdom of Dion the staff that
he's assembled a bunch of Hall of famers and guys
with huge resumes, that it's it's a good place to
go and learn and grow, and that the money will
will find its way to Colorado. And for me, part
(35:37):
of it is the I'll be the first to raise
my hand and go. I wasn't sure that he was
long for the coaching game, right, I had a couple
of years ago it was all right, is he just
doing this? You know, because we see it at all levels. Right.
I always gave Smith crap for it is at some
point someone else has to coach your.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Kid, right, right, right? I thought he was gonna leave
when when his kids left and Hunter was leaving, I
thought he'd take another job. I thought he'd be at
the Cowboys by now.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Well.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
But that's the thing. I didn't even think he'd do that.
So I get regret it for, you know, wanting to
be long into the coaching game, I wondered aloud, And
maybe changed and started to think about it a little
differently as the year went on this year with what
Colorado did, But part of it was that he wanted
(36:23):
to see it through and build something and then maybe
just leave the keys for someone behind him. But instead
he's going to stay and try to show some continuity
there in Colorado extra five years, keep building that program
back to I mean, because we remember what it was
long long ago, right, and maybe you get that staying power.
(36:44):
And part of it is also to say that it
wasn't just the ability of his son and Travis Hunter
to do as well as they did. And let's face it,
I mean, they didn't do anything earth shattering, but they
were competitive, right, and they had some flash moments. You
want a heisman all of that that you want to say, hey,
I can coach. And it wasn't just on the backs
of those two plays.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Right right. We'll see what he does. There'll be a
lot of eyes on him this time around, and there's
always eyes on Dian. He's used to it. But he
certainly deserves that contract, no doubt about that.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Good for him. Congratulations coach Sanders. Look forward to the
next iteration of the Colorado Buffaloes. He's already in for Jason.
As we continue, we'll talk about the nil, the portal,
some interesting comments from a big tent well now Big
