look at the Penguins show up all with your money.
Here's your seven dollars. Good luck spending it on ice.
That's good. Congratulations. But yes, it is a big day
in Major League Baseball because I mean, let's really, I've
been waiting for three days to talk about the plague
that has been loose, that is going to ruin the country,
gonna split the world open. We're gonna have half the
(02:35):
world break off and go in some sort of Darth
Vader tie fighters spin. The other half is gonna stay
open a little bit and stay up right. Then it's
gonna tip over and fall all because of the torpedo bats.
Oh yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Gonna sentence because you had a lot of folks going,
my man, stay off that third rail.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
All because of the torpedo bats. They're gonna ruin the
world by car. Can't you say, look at this, they're
ruining everything the torpedo bats. The torpee can blame everything
on the torpedo bats.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, I mean, look, we all have to find some
common enemy. And if torpedo bats be come in, I
think we're doing okay.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Morgan Wallan walking off SNL torpedo bets. That's what it was.
Hayley van Lydt gett knocked out of the tournament. Torpedo bets,
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, in the seven as soon as the seventh year
center fouled out early, I mean it was they were
in trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
They had no more size down low, it was over.
Jason is not why Sidney Sweeney single again?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yes, that's exactly what I feel with seven year torpedo
bats Glenn Powell Torpedo bat ed.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
So has that been confirmed?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's well, they've been hanging out together. This is kind
of like the uh, like every generation, a story like
that repeats itself. This is like when Julia Roberts got
unengaged from Keifer Sutherland and the next day she was
on a date with Jason Patrick. They were best friends.
Like this is kind of that just you know, thirty
years later, every generation has its new thing.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well, I mean she was in that movie with Jason
Patrick that was terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah yeah, no, I'm just saying it's you know, it
works out.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You know, the guy's name was Jaysons.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I mean, come on, man, guy at game, your
name is Jason. The nineties, it was it for you man.
Jason was a hip name in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now remember her ever wearing any hats.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now it's just a name. And now when you hear Jason,
people go, is that your dad's name? Like, that's what
my name has become.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I was an it name, man, I was an it name,
and now just oh, you must be your dad. How
is he fifty? Is he fifty? Yeah? His name is Jason.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Okay, Yeah, that's o good.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, that's how it is.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Mike never goes out of style. Do why I go
buy Harman everywhere I go.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But before we get to the torpedo bat yeow big
night in college basketball. Obviously heading towards halftime, I want
to think USC can come back in this game, but boy,
Yukon has not let USC breathe. It's a ten point
lead for Yukon right now. And it's not even Paige
Becker's who's been doing all the damage. Sarah Strong, who
of course hit it big first as the voice of
(04:44):
the departed Desperate Housewife, and now here she is having
a huge first quarter with ten points, and Yukon just
seems to be doing what they want to do, and
USC just seems to slowly being put out of this
game again, what are you gonna do? You know, the
best player in the game. It's been an incredible run
for USC so far, but boy, it's hard for me
to see. In the second half, suddenly USC starts putting
this together and puts a run and stops UKM from
(05:05):
getting the final four.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I dig the way you tried to tie that together.
I mean you can also take her as a chocolate.
You know, airis going back to Seinfeld, right, so sure, yeah,
you can go all all the way back. But yeah,
having a huge night tonight and this is really starting
to open up and USC getting blown out as we
go to half.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, tough one and pour one out because we think
it's the end of Hayley van Liitz's college basketball career. Now,
I say we think because while she has exhausted her eligibility,
I mean, the rules could change tomorrow. Like, I mean,
she could be another school, right, three different schools, three
Elite eights, Like she could be a she could be
the world's first professional collegiate basketball player. They could pass
(05:46):
a law that says, hey, she gets a transfer to
a new team every year, play one year, get them
to the Elite eight. But she's got to go and
go someplace else.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, there is something to be said for staying as
long as you can. I mean, on the women's side,
got a lot of notoriety and opportunity for NIL and
endorsements and all of this, And certainly there's no shortage
of commercials featuring some.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Of the elite.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
But even if you know, NIL, payments and everything aren't
at the elite level, you're stuck in. Seventy six grand
is the salary for the WNBA. I think you can
out earn that at a lot of these bigger schools.
Oh so you know, the fact that you have to
stay for those four years actually works to your advantage
as opposed to you know, folks saying Cooper Flagg should say,
(06:28):
I don't want your sixty million dollar guaranteed right now.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Beat it. But big props to her for last year.
I mean, she was I can't. It was just an
awful end of the season for her because being posterized
by Caitlin Clark in the tournament her big revenge and
the big video of the meme that of her just
shrugging her shoulders walking off the floor going well, I
can't guard her. What do you want me to do?
(06:52):
Which really is not really on her more than's just hey,
Kim Molky, you got to figure something out.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Kim mulk did her no favors.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
This isn't working right. But still Haley Vanlyft got all
the blame and she transferred and it didn't end with
a Final four, but an incredible run into the Elite Eight,
and that that's a great You talk about a redemption
arc of a story in the course of a year,
that's something for Haley van Lith It really is what.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Elite eight appearances three different schools.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
She had a couple of videos the last week that
I would encourage folks to watch right, kind of talking
about her journey, the mental health part of it and
overcoming the stigma of being, you know, the girl that
Caitlin Clark posterized, and whatever the relationship was with Kim
Mulki to move on. She's certainly drawn the ire of
(07:37):
so many people over the last couple of years. I
don't pretend to know her, but certainly not warm, fuzzy
and cudley would not be the way to describe her,
at least in her outward dealings with people. So I'm
wondering if you become the scapegoat of a team that
doesn't reach the pinnacle, as we saw last year, that
(07:57):
gets even more prickly along the way. Thus having the
Hayley Van lift every time she checked out of a
game or finished a game. Uh, the first thing was
a lot of hugs with the staff, with the trainers,
with the coaches whatever. Certainly a much better environment, it
seems for her. Uh And just to remind her to
uh find those places where you can.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the
TIREC dot Com studios. Now, the torpedo bat. The torpedo
bat again, that is going to ruin that I've already seen.
The stock market is down. Torpedo bat, right, torpedo bit,
everything going torpedo bat?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well, who can use one?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Uhh on so dude, one SODA's ops is like one
one and a half what the rest of them? Lindor
could use one and he's been using one, which doesn't
Maybe it's not working. Maybe any that tells you the
power of the torpedo bat is only so much because
Lindor's been using one this season and it's and he's
Oero for eleven and had the day off today.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It means he's a half assed magician, is what it means.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Look, I love this story. I love this story for
two reasons. One because no matter what, I get to
just say to all my dad and Fabiano and all
the you just need to cheat, you know, the bat
and they just go crazy, right, they just go absolutely crazy?
What I won't tell them, but I'll tell you, But
I won't tell that. It's like what what? What doctors
don't want you to know about waiting in the waiting room?
(09:19):
You know, coming out? Oh here's a hack? What flight
attendants don't want you to know when you fly? Is it?
What I want to them is that it's fine. These
beat the bats are legal. I'm honestly surprised no one's
figured out a hack with these bats before now. But
everything is legal. There's there's nothing against it. Now. Could
you say maybe the bat laws need to be a
little bit more police Yeah, sure, But the bat laws
(09:43):
really aren't that that big a deal. Other players have
used them before. Many players are going to start using
them now because of success the Yankees had against Nester
Cortez and everybody else. Nester Cortez will by the last
time we saw him on the Mount was giving up
a Grand Slam to Freddie Freeman, who used a regular bat.
But this gonna be Look, I love this because this
is a huge story right now. It's gonna be a
(10:03):
big story for a little while and then it'll taper off.
More players are gonna use the torpedo bats. They're all
ordering them. You're seeing stories from from basically every team.
Your your team. They've quoted someone saying I have a
shipment of bats coming, I'm gonna try him out. Everybody
wants to try him, right, And there's there's no sign
that Major League Baseball is saying, Okay, this is something
that we can't have done, right, this is It's fine.
(10:25):
It's absolutely fine. Yes, it sucks because the Yankees were
using them. They were the first team to look at boy,
look at all the benefits they're getting. But everybody can
use the torpedo bats. Waita Tani starts using a torpedo bat,
and he's gonna have one hundred and one hundred year
and it's gonna be But by the All Star break, Wow,
Tanya one hundred, one hundred and then here we are
at the Midsummer Classic what a year from show? Heyotani,
(10:46):
Like our number is gonna go up for some players, Yeah,
for others it's not, and they're gonna go away from it,
not use it anymore. Aaron Judge has more home runs
than anybody. He's not using a bat. As he said yesterday,
why would I mess with this? Yeah, I got it.
You're right, abolutely right. Why would you do that? So, yes,
it's gonna be a big story for a while. It's
a fun story. It's a big deal, but it's nothing illegal.
(11:06):
Everybody's gonna start using them. This is kind of like
I feel, it's like kind of like the tush push
argument in the NFL, where oh, one team is really benefiting,
but anybody can do it, but you just can't do
it better than anybody else. And now we're gonna try
to site a whole bunch of of reasons why they
can't do it. Oh, the injury issue in this part.
In real life, you just can't do it as well
as the Eagles. And there's a big push to ban
(11:27):
these things. So it's kind of like that where it's
like nothing illegal is being done, you just can't do it.
The Yankees got out ahead of you want. Now you
gotta wait for the shipments of these torpedo bats. But
it'll again, it'll be a big story for a little while.
It'll be fun. In the end it'll taper away and good.
Good on the players for being able to say, Okay,
now we can kind of match up a little bit
better against the error of pitching. We can't leave the
(11:49):
best batter's box. We have to go to time. That's
an advantage for the pitchers. Now we get a little
bit something back here with the bats. This is just
part of how baseball goes. Man, this is not that
big a deal, but I will not say that to
my dad.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, it's just a nationwide audience of several million across
the globe on the iHeartRadio app and our five hundred
affiliates nationwide. That's good. Look a couple of things. Number one,
first mover advantage. First, real first mover advantage, because there's
been a couple of batters that have used as they
were saying, Stanton was using it last year in the process.
(12:20):
But that's it. Everybody else will catch up. This is
where I foult major League baseball as a whole. The
hell almost one hundred and fifty years and you're just
figuring out, now, hey, you know what, we could do
something with the bats. Really, all this other elaborate forms
of chicanery, and it was as simple as manipulating the wood.
So also, I want to get after all the guys
(12:42):
that you know have the insights of what they tell me.
I should be investing in yo by gold by gold. No,
I should have maple trees everywhere because everybody's gonna want
my torpedo bats.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, pretty soon you can tell you how far are
we from saying what if I just wait for a
tree to split with lightning and I may wonder boy
out of it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
No, got to use that, No, because then they'd say
there was divine intervention and someone playing illegal. Really, they say,
if you had that giant etching in it, that has
to create an advantage.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh well yeah I would. Yeah, you probably wouldn't want
to use that. You use the etching in that, but
you would go not you would go non etching. Maybe
you non etching and you have a bigger bat.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I really do enjoy the fact that in the first
day you're back from a little bit of a break.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
We got Wilford Brimley into the show that fast. Yeah, guys,
you know who used the torpedo bout tonight? Who's that?
Ellie Dela Cruz. He went four for five with two dingers.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Torpedo bats Man torpedo bats. I do like that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
They look very much like the bats we used to
give our kids when they were younger. So when you're
out playing, playing with them.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
With a whiffle ball. So I mean that that's a
meme that that you were cheating when you were a kid.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, I mean wow cheating. I saw it. I call
it innovating.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well you say cheating, I say innovating, and you can't
prove it? Oh very nice.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Major League Baseball agreed with me. Their rules don't have
much specificity at all.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The torpedo bats have come for you and they will
be your downfall. Exit out about a Fresca exit Swollen Dome.

(16:26):
USC and Yukon Yukon just two quarters away from heading
to the final four the page. Becker's redemption tour continuing.
And again I said it earlier, I'd love to see
USC make a huge I'd love to see it. Don't
know they have it in them. It's really Yukon is
just Yukon has just really done everything they wanted to
(16:47):
do in the first half and they've been able to
stop them from getting in any kind of rhythm. Look,
when you don't have the best player in the country,
it's really really hard to do it. It's a fourteen point
lead right now. I think of USC can get it
inside ten for the fourth quarter. That would be a
big would be a big achievement. Maybe we'll see something
close down the street.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Can they get something from Little Juju like we had
Little Penny from the Science Club?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh sure, Oh yeah, says hello, Hey Tara, you left? Okay,
so we'll have more on this, but getting set to
join us now. I'm the hotline after a big day
in NFL news. Longtime NFL insider check him out on
Odyssey one of five seven the Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post.
He's on Twitter at Jason Locking for It is Jason
Locking for Jay. What's happening? Man?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
What's going on in gentlemen about it.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, it's nice to show up and have everybody say, hey,
you know here we are owners are all ready to
talk today and then talking about a whole bunch of
different things like it's like, hey, okay, it's nice. They
like to continue to move the the the plot lines
along with us and not just give us some downtime
before the NFL draft.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Well, it's mean. It's the timing of this right, it's
right smack towards the culmination of the NCAA tournaments, and
Wright is Baseball's ticking off, and it's a great sign
to engender artificial NFL. So no, thanks, it makes sense.
They always want their cut of the pie. And let's
be real, what they're talking about there, especially among the owners,
more than anything else, is how to continue making obscene
(18:09):
amounts of money.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Uh so, let's start with Jimmy Hasselm. The big
news of the day. The Browns owner said, listen, we
had a big swing and miss on Deshaun Watson, basically saying, okay,
you know, we know what the Deshaun Watson ara is over.
I love that he said, but if you look into
blame someone, blame me and de his wife, the owners
of the Browns. And I want to say, who else
are we going to blame on this?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Jay?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
There was nobody else to blame on this?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Right? Like what?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Like he's he wants to blame that he should be getting.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Yeah, I don't think there's been much of a disconnect
on this. He wanted Deshaun Watson. He didn't want to
do any real research. We don't need it really get this,
but y'all know what happened. He shall wants to want
nothing to do with Cleveland. He got to thought about it.
He told his football people, let's just keep throwing money
at him. They said, there's a process we have to
go to. They threw They pretty much made a mockery
(18:57):
of that in terms of spending any real time with
him him or you know, really getting into what was
his mindset and he's sort of real examination into what
he had done and what he was capable of, and
you know, did he actually have any sort of remorse? Brainess?
(19:18):
Like all that was just secondary and it was he
got infatuated with the guy, so he authorized his people
to do whatever it took. And whatever it took was
a ridiculous contract that he quickly came to regret for
a multitude of reasons. So yeah, I don't think there
was like a whole lot of people out there saying, boy,
that's silly Stefanski. Why did he really want? Why did
(19:42):
he feel like it was Deshaun Watson or Buffing somehow
convinced that owner to give him two hundred and sixty million,
fully guaranteed. I think we all kind of knew the
genesis of this one. The origin story was widely known,
and brain had already been going to the appropriate people.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Now as it moves, I mean, we got Captain Kirk
showing up at at Chipotle. Now they say it has
nothing to do with any with the Browns, but it
wouldn't be the first time someone lied to us.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Well, the problem there is that Arthur blank who boy
is he bungled his share of quarterbacks? Sure as well,
but looks like they may be onto something there in tennis.
But he doesn't want to just admit defeat and accept that.
Cousins of the sunk coft And therefore it's a salary
dump and you take what you can, you eat what
(20:29):
you have to eat to get rid of you know what,
what portion of that you don't want to pay, and
he's treating it like it's a football trade. And when
you see what the Russell Wilsons of the world are getting,
then you see that, you know, there's nothing out there
right now that Aaron Rodgers wants to latch himself onto. Well,
that's how teams are valuing Kirk Cousins coming off the
(20:50):
lost season and his own achilles issues. So at some
point in time I would think, just to avoid quarterback
controversy and just to avoid you know what's behind door
number two, and just to fully empower penis that they
would want to rid themselves of this. But the way
they've handled it in their initial conversation society really initial.
(21:13):
At this point, we're pretty deep into it. The way
they've handled the situation has frankly left other teams, you know,
sort of jaws a gate, like these dudes aren't even
in the real world, like we guess their owners making
them say this ridiculous stuff, But they're not acting like
a team that wants to trade Kirk Cousins. I suspect
(21:34):
at some point that changing.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Jay when we try to break down the quarterback situation
here and and you Kirk Cousins in Cleveland. Of course,
we're still waiting to find out what's going on in
Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers. I just keep going back to this, right,
at some point we're going to find out that the
Steelers have another plan besides Aaron Rodgers saying he's coming, right,
Because that's the part that I can't get past the
(21:58):
last few days, is that, Okay, Aaron Rodgers doesn't come,
What the hell are they doing? Like there's something else
they have that it's not just Hey, we're really excited
about Mason Rudolph, is it.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Well? I think we just talked about Kirk Cousins, and
I think Kirk Cousins is a very valuable option for them.
Again that the Falcons are gonna have to get real
about the finances of that sort of deal. Yeah, And
I mean after that, it is what it is. I mean,
do you do you start to think about, you know,
(22:29):
I'm Malik Willis. Do you want to try to, you know,
explore Will Levice. I mean there's there's things I guess
you could do. You know, Tannehill. None of that is great,
although you know, Tannehill did have a career renaissance. I
guess with Arder spitting around for part of that, it
(22:51):
is what it is At this point, I mean, what
are those options? You know, draft Jackson Dart. Maybe they
maybe they wait till Day two and take mill wrong.
Maybe they can't wait to quite that pick to take him.
There are options. I'm not going to sit here and
tell you that any of them look like it's gonna
propel them into the playoffs. But we would have also
(23:13):
said the same thing about the Denver Broncs and bow Knicks.
It just a year ago, would we not have.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, probably it will look.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Right sitting here a month before the draft and I'm
gonna say, well, that's okay, They'll just take bow Nick's
twelfth overall, and you would have been like, you're out
of your bleep in mind, what are you talking about?
But well, I would have to take them there, and
then I'd be like, yeah, they're gonna take them, and
then they're gonna they're gonna go to the playoffs and
he's gonna, you know, he's gonna be like one of
the best road quarterbacks in the NFL and he's not
(23:41):
going to turn it over. And everybody been like that,
that's a lot of crap, you know, So we don't
always know. And you know, I'm not saying that there's
a Sean Payton on that Pittsburgh Steelers staff either there
when it comes to the quarterback development. But yeah, I mean,
I don't think if it's something other than all those
(24:02):
names I mentioned, and I think I probably got to
about ten of them in the end, I'd be really surprised.
That's that's that's the reality of the situation. The most
likely one is that I think Rogers just eventually takes
what's on the table. But look, if if Atlanta comes
to their senses first and they go and get Kirk Cousins,
(24:25):
then I don't know where that leads.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Aaron Rodgers, Jason Lockabor with US one O five seven,
the Fan of Baltimore, Washington Post, longtime NFL insider with
us here as he is each and every week Jason
Smith Show with Mike Rman here Fox Sports Radio from
the tire Racks dot Com studios. So in the owners meetings,
we start seeing some momentum towards the tush push and
(24:49):
it's being banned, and it seems like every coach is
now falling in line. Sean McVeagh the latest say that
doesn't look like football to me?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Is this eventually going to get just out?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Oh? I think it just depends, you know we I
kind of anytime coaches talk about this stuff, I tend
to turn it out and unless they're getting their directive
direct you know, from the owner, and they're just you know,
being good soldiers and parroting what they know is already
the way the winds blown it because ultimately doesn't no
one cares what the coaches think. Like in that when
(25:24):
these rules are changed, it's the thirty two guys who
never played the game, right, It's the thirty two rich
guys who decided they're thirty one game they don't reely
have one. I mean, I don't think Mark Murphy might qualifies,
but that's how it gets done. So, you know, like
they value their coaches until they don't. If they take
that away, then they need to just eliminate the ability
(25:45):
to push a ball carrier anywhere, right, Like, if we're
eliminating that, I just hope it extends to this. Wo's
become commonplace of the running up behind a guy. You know,
in some cases multiple people running up behind a ball
carrier and just seeing how long, you know, how deep
of a rugby scrum can we create before his momentum
sufficiently stopped for him they hit the ground or the
(26:06):
officials to eventually get around the blowing it dead like.
If they're going to take this away, I hope they
eliminate anything that resembles this in any way, shape or form,
even on like a hook and ladder type play, like,
it's all that I think should be eliminated in the
name of player safety.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Of course, of course, sure, of course, now go now, yeah,
of course, let's let's make sure of course of course, yes,
yes safety. Let's make sure we say player safety, player safety.
I gotta say, I'm enjoying the poker game being played
by all three teams. At the top of the draft,
you have Tennessee saying, oh, yeah, quarterbacks are are so important,
(26:48):
but yet we're open for business, the brown saying we're
not locked into a quarterback at number two. The Giants
say we're not going to force a quarterback at number three.
How much of this what you're saying, because this is
a great poker sofa, I got sadly, this is just
everybody amping it up.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well, the bros added us reigning Super Bowl champion, Jason,
come on.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, I mean, but I look at it. I go,
this is fantastic, but cut through it for us here.
How much of this is poker? How much of this
is Hey, one team's going to say what they're going
to do here, but really, the quarterbacks are coming off
the borderly.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
I have a problem up coming on this on the
Washington Post. I've been taking people's temperatures about the subterfuge.
I'll say this that the Miami quarterback is going to
Tennessee the length that the Browns went to. It's amazing.
Like we knew who was going to have dinner with
Abdul Carter, right, we knew I think we knew who
(27:41):
was going to be sitting to his left and who
was going to be sitting to his right, And you
know Jimmy has when Sun and Law is going to
be there, Like we knew the whole traveling party in
delegation in their entire plans, like two days before they
even went to the Happy Valley. They want to have
to value to see a player who's not doing anything
physically whatsoever. They bring their coach with them, and he'd
already spent the day with them in their building. It's
(28:03):
just interesting, right, how much we knew about that in
real time, and they really need what a quarterback, right,
and they just they threw money at Miles Garrett until
he shut up about not wanting to be there anymore.
So I would say if SA Door Sanders went to
the Cleveland Browns right now, there's plenty of gms in
a league wouldn't be surprised because they think they don't
(28:25):
protest too much. And if he is sitting there, I'm
still not convinced the Giants tatum and now there are
people in the league I talked to who think they will.
I just we talked about this before. I don't think
he fits the move and the model for that owner,
and this guy's gonna be my guy the next fifteen years.
I just think the idea that he's that outspoken and
(28:48):
that bold and that brash, I don't think that's that
quarter with that owner wants. But what they've done is
create a climate where, you know, as one GM put
it to me, they've covered their ass enough like so
that if they don't take a quarterback, the owner is
not going to probably freak out. But they haven't brought
(29:09):
anybody in there who would preclude you for playing him
right sooner rather than later if you do take one anyway,
and they can kind of both sides it to other teams,
and if they want teams to think they're okay at
quarter they can sell them on that. And if they
want teams to think, no, no, this is just to
get us through the first half of the season and
then we'll trade one of those guys into the deadline
and none of this is going to stop us from
(29:30):
taking a quarterback trying to get somebody to trade up
into their spot. You know, they can probably play those
cards as well. And maybe I'm giving them too much
credit because the Giants and they haven't got a whole
lot right for quite some time. At the end of
the day, I think they take the best player on
their board, and I suspect it's not a quarterback, And
you know, I think they hope and pray that Arch
(29:53):
Manning comes out a year from now, although there's also
a lot of people who would say, go study the Mannings.
Those kids don't come out until they been there four
years and they've been pretty well developed, and he hasn't
obviously played that much to this point. But there are
certainly people out there who feel, like you know, they
would move heavy in eert to get our expanding in
a year from now if they weren't already in position
to get them, just because well they're probably gonna stuck again.

advice because they need to just stop talking because all

maybe things will get interesting. Gino ri Em is screaming
on the sideline, so you know things are not going
Yukon's way. However, you know I always like to say
I moon I would moonlight really well as a public
(35:44):
relations advisor to the stars right teams and athletes and
coaches who need my advice for me to say, Hey,
don't say this because you look stupid.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, you have a lot of thoughts about what other
people should do with their lives and situations.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well, at least or the right things to say when
you know what you want want the public to know
about things. Sure, and the team that needs my absolute
biggest advice right now after what they said today are
the Minnesota Vikings, because I would tell them, hey, guys,
you need my advice. Hi, Jason Smith PR, you have
fog Sports Radio PR. Listen. I want to tell you
(36:17):
something it's important not to do when you talk about
things football related. Don't look stupid. That's the biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Well, nice summary statement.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Don't look stupid today. You know, big owners meeting is
going on. We had a lot of big news to
go on that we're going to you know, starting to
hit throughout the show tonight. Head coach Kevin O'Connell wanted
to make sure that he came clean about the team's
dalliance with Aaron Rodgers earlier this month, and he wanted
to make sure that we knew that, Hey, this did
(36:46):
not reflect any concerns they have about JJ McCarthy, O'Connell
saying on Monday, Hey, I had a relationship with Aaron Rodgers.
We happened to be one of those teams he reached
out to. You know, he's a guy, he's a four
time NFL MVP. We've had respect for him. Happened to
be a point in time in his career he was
free to have some dialogue ab what his future might
look like. But we still love JJ McCarthy. Yeah, again,
(37:10):
don't say stuff like that because you look inept. You
look absolutely inept. That remember, because everybody knows that you're
a team that decided to let Sam Darnald walk. To
let a guy again, that was a Pro Bowl quarterback,
top three quarterback in the league last year, right, But
whatever I think about him, he came through right. Four
thousand yards, thirty five touchdowns, fourteen and three. He went
(37:31):
to the playoff when you thought the season was over
in August, when McCarthy got hurt, and you decided, no, no,
we love JJ McCarthy so much, we're letting Sam Darnald walk.
Okay I can disagree with that, but okay, you love
JJ McCarthy. But now when you go out and talk
to Aaron Rodgers, it seems like, no, you don't love
JJ McCarthy, and you just look like you don't know
what you're doing. We allowed Sam Donald leeve when we
should have played a little bit better. Maybe we could
(37:53):
have franchised him and then traded him, because we could
clearly could have done that. We could assign him it
to it. We could have done a lot of different things.
He could have come into this year with hey, different
things going on with our team. Oh but if we
signed Sam to money, we can't sign the guys we
signed in free agency. Yeah that's true, But you don't
know if you have a quarterback. It's the most important
position on the team. I think you would rather have
(38:13):
a quarterback and have holes elsewhere than have everything else
buttoned up and not know if you have a quarterback.
So stop, you just look inept. And the more talk
about Aaron Rodgers, the worse you look. I can't change
it anymore that it got out, but I would just say, hey, sorry,
it's done. JJ's our guy. He's the number one, because
you can't bring in anybody that's that's gonna fight for
(38:33):
the job with him, because that would be counter to
everything you put out there as a team. And again,
you don't want to look inept. And with this whole
Rogers thing, they have looked inept over the past month,
with and ham handed with how they explain letting Sam
Darnold go but still looking into Aaron Rodgers. When JJ
McCarthy is our guy that we love so much. Really,
I look at him and I just go either they're
(38:54):
just not smart or they don't know what they're doing,
or could be a combination of both.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Well, you got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
You also had Daniel Jones on your roster and Indianapolis
came and got him. Meanwhile, you grabbed a couple of
Indianapolis's offensive linemen. See, we'll show you. You take the quarterback,
he's got nobody to protect him now. But when we
look at how they're going about this, it's the we
want the honesty until we actually get it right. Because
(39:20):
you kick the tires on Aaron Rodgers. Clearly you decided
Sam Donald was only taking you so far. Whether that's
Kevin O'Connell not wanting to look into the mirror and
take any responsibility for his own shortcomings and play calling
and situational football. And it's not to excuse Sam Donald
but just saying it's a big blame buy and everybody
(39:40):
gets their fair share in my world. But for Kevin
O'Connell and company, clearly they decided Sam Donald was the
guy that we're not gonna pay him top dollar, keep
building roster, we'll figure it out and you may like
JJ McCarthy, we don't know where he is physically surgery
and then clean up of the surgery and swelling and
everything else. So why not have some other conversations from
(40:02):
a guy who's climbed to the top of the mountaintop,
As O'Connell even says, the guy that he knew from
his playing days. It's how long Aaron Rodgers has been
in the game, Kevin O'Connell. I remember his New England
Patriots trading cards when he was supposed to be the
next guy after Brady and then praying Brady played for
another decade.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Yeah, well, I mean, it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
But you're you're just at the point of you're doing
your due diligence, but generally you do that behind closed
doors and outwardly you're wearing a sweatshirt that has JJ
McCarthy's face on it.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Yeah, he is your guy.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Don't remind anybody that you might not be smart, like
I always say that, don't remind people, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh that's right. That's the guy that doesn't know. What
is it?
Speaker 3 (40:45):
The better to be quiet, yeah, and open your mouth
and prove that you're an idiot or however, Yeah, let people.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Assume maybe you are, maybe you're not, rather than open
your mouth than not. Oh, they don't know what they're doing.
The less you say about Aaron Rodd, the better off
you'll be. One hundred percent, one hundred hundred percent Exit

that has been loose, that is going to ruin the country,
gonna split the world open. We're gonna have half the
(02:35):
world break off and go in some sort of Darth
Vader tie fighters spin. The other half is gonna stay
open a little bit and stay up right. Then it's
gonna tip over and fall all because of the torpedo bats.
Oh yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Gonna sentence because you had a lot of folks going,
my man, stay off that third rail.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
All because of the torpedo bats. They're gonna ruin the
world by car. Can't you say, look at this, they're
ruining everything the torpedo bats. The torpee can blame everything
on the torpedo bats.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, I mean, look, we all have to find some
common enemy. And if torpedo bats be come in, I
think we're doing okay.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Morgan Wallan walking off SNL torpedo bets. That's what it was.
Hayley van Lydt gett knocked out of the tournament. Torpedo bets,
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, in the seven as soon as the seventh year
center fouled out early, I mean it was they were
in trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
They had no more size down low, it was over.
Jason is not why Sidney Sweeney single again?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yes, that's exactly what I feel with seven year torpedo
bats Glenn Powell Torpedo bat ed.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
So has that been confirmed?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's well, they've been hanging out together. This is kind
of like the uh, like every generation, a story like
that repeats itself. This is like when Julia Roberts got
unengaged from Keifer Sutherland and the next day she was
on a date with Jason Patrick. They were best friends.
Like this is kind of that just you know, thirty
years later, every generation has its new thing.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well, I mean she was in that movie with Jason
Patrick that was terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah yeah, no, I'm just saying it's you know, it
works out.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You know, the guy's name was Jaysons.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I mean, come on, man, guy at game, your
name is Jason. The nineties, it was it for you man.
Jason was a hip name in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now remember her ever wearing any hats.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now it's just a name. And now when you hear Jason,
people go, is that your dad's name? Like, that's what
my name has become.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I was an it name, man, I was an it name,
and now just oh, you must be your dad. How
is he fifty? Is he fifty? Yeah? His name is Jason.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Okay, Yeah, that's o good.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, that's how it is.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Mike never goes out of style. Do why I go
buy Harman everywhere I go.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But before we get to the torpedo bat yeow big
night in college basketball. Obviously heading towards halftime, I want
to think USC can come back in this game, but boy,
Yukon has not let USC breathe. It's a ten point
lead for Yukon right now. And it's not even Paige
Becker's who's been doing all the damage. Sarah Strong, who
of course hit it big first as the voice of
(04:44):
the departed Desperate Housewife, and now here she is having
a huge first quarter with ten points, and Yukon just
seems to be doing what they want to do, and
USC just seems to slowly being put out of this
game again, what are you gonna do? You know, the
best player in the game. It's been an incredible run
for USC so far, but boy, it's hard for me
to see. In the second half, suddenly USC starts putting
this together and puts a run and stops UKM from
(05:05):
getting the final four.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I dig the way you tried to tie that together.
I mean you can also take her as a chocolate.
You know, airis going back to Seinfeld, right, so sure, yeah,
you can go all all the way back. But yeah,
having a huge night tonight and this is really starting
to open up and USC getting blown out as we
go to half.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, tough one and pour one out because we think
it's the end of Hayley van Liitz's college basketball career. Now,
I say we think because while she has exhausted her eligibility,
I mean, the rules could change tomorrow. Like, I mean,
she could be another school, right, three different schools, three
Elite eights, Like she could be a she could be
the world's first professional collegiate basketball player. They could pass
(05:46):
a law that says, hey, she gets a transfer to
a new team every year, play one year, get them
to the Elite eight. But she's got to go and
go someplace else.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, there is something to be said for staying as
long as you can. I mean, on the women's side,
got a lot of notoriety and opportunity for NIL and
endorsements and all of this, And certainly there's no shortage
of commercials featuring some.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Of the elite.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
But even if you know, NIL, payments and everything aren't
at the elite level, you're stuck in. Seventy six grand
is the salary for the WNBA. I think you can
out earn that at a lot of these bigger schools.
Oh so you know, the fact that you have to
stay for those four years actually works to your advantage
as opposed to you know, folks saying Cooper Flagg should say,
(06:28):
I don't want your sixty million dollar guaranteed right now.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Beat it. But big props to her for last year.
I mean, she was I can't. It was just an
awful end of the season for her because being posterized
by Caitlin Clark in the tournament her big revenge and
the big video of the meme that of her just
shrugging her shoulders walking off the floor going well, I
can't guard her. What do you want me to do?
(06:52):
Which really is not really on her more than's just hey,
Kim Molky, you got to figure something out.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Kim mulk did her no favors.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
This isn't working right. But still Haley Vanlyft got all
the blame and she transferred and it didn't end with
a Final four, but an incredible run into the Elite Eight,
and that that's a great You talk about a redemption
arc of a story in the course of a year,
that's something for Haley van Lith It really is what.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Elite eight appearances three different schools.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
She had a couple of videos the last week that
I would encourage folks to watch right, kind of talking
about her journey, the mental health part of it and
overcoming the stigma of being, you know, the girl that
Caitlin Clark posterized, and whatever the relationship was with Kim
Mulki to move on. She's certainly drawn the ire of
(07:37):
so many people over the last couple of years. I
don't pretend to know her, but certainly not warm, fuzzy
and cudley would not be the way to describe her,
at least in her outward dealings with people. So I'm
wondering if you become the scapegoat of a team that
doesn't reach the pinnacle, as we saw last year, that
(07:57):
gets even more prickly along the way. Thus having the
Hayley Van lift every time she checked out of a
game or finished a game. Uh, the first thing was
a lot of hugs with the staff, with the trainers,
with the coaches whatever. Certainly a much better environment, it
seems for her. Uh And just to remind her to
uh find those places where you can.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the
TIREC dot Com studios. Now, the torpedo bat. The torpedo
bat again, that is going to ruin that I've already seen.
The stock market is down. Torpedo bat, right, torpedo bit,
everything going torpedo bat?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well, who can use one?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Uhh on so dude, one SODA's ops is like one
one and a half what the rest of them? Lindor
could use one and he's been using one, which doesn't
Maybe it's not working. Maybe any that tells you the
power of the torpedo bat is only so much because
Lindor's been using one this season and it's and he's
Oero for eleven and had the day off today.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It means he's a half assed magician, is what it means.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Look, I love this story. I love this story for
two reasons. One because no matter what, I get to
just say to all my dad and Fabiano and all
the you just need to cheat, you know, the bat
and they just go crazy, right, they just go absolutely crazy?
What I won't tell them, but I'll tell you, But
I won't tell that. It's like what what? What doctors
don't want you to know about waiting in the waiting room?
(09:19):
You know, coming out? Oh here's a hack? What flight
attendants don't want you to know when you fly? Is it?
What I want to them is that it's fine. These
beat the bats are legal. I'm honestly surprised no one's
figured out a hack with these bats before now. But
everything is legal. There's there's nothing against it. Now. Could
you say maybe the bat laws need to be a
little bit more police Yeah, sure, But the bat laws
(09:43):
really aren't that that big a deal. Other players have
used them before. Many players are going to start using
them now because of success the Yankees had against Nester
Cortez and everybody else. Nester Cortez will by the last
time we saw him on the Mount was giving up
a Grand Slam to Freddie Freeman, who used a regular bat.
But this gonna be Look, I love this because this
is a huge story right now. It's gonna be a
(10:03):
big story for a little while and then it'll taper off.
More players are gonna use the torpedo bats. They're all
ordering them. You're seeing stories from from basically every team.
Your your team. They've quoted someone saying I have a
shipment of bats coming, I'm gonna try him out. Everybody
wants to try him, right, And there's there's no sign
that Major League Baseball is saying, Okay, this is something
that we can't have done, right, this is It's fine.
(10:25):
It's absolutely fine. Yes, it sucks because the Yankees were
using them. They were the first team to look at boy,
look at all the benefits they're getting. But everybody can
use the torpedo bats. Waita Tani starts using a torpedo bat,
and he's gonna have one hundred and one hundred year
and it's gonna be But by the All Star break, Wow,
Tanya one hundred, one hundred and then here we are
at the Midsummer Classic what a year from show? Heyotani,
(10:46):
Like our number is gonna go up for some players, Yeah,
for others it's not, and they're gonna go away from it,
not use it anymore. Aaron Judge has more home runs
than anybody. He's not using a bat. As he said yesterday,
why would I mess with this? Yeah, I got it.
You're right, abolutely right. Why would you do that? So, yes,
it's gonna be a big story for a while. It's
a fun story. It's a big deal, but it's nothing illegal.
(11:06):
Everybody's gonna start using them. This is kind of like
I feel, it's like kind of like the tush push
argument in the NFL, where oh, one team is really benefiting,
but anybody can do it, but you just can't do
it better than anybody else. And now we're gonna try
to site a whole bunch of of reasons why they
can't do it. Oh, the injury issue in this part.
In real life, you just can't do it as well
as the Eagles. And there's a big push to ban
(11:27):
these things. So it's kind of like that where it's
like nothing illegal is being done, you just can't do it.
The Yankees got out ahead of you want. Now you
gotta wait for the shipments of these torpedo bats. But
it'll again, it'll be a big story for a little while.
It'll be fun. In the end it'll taper away and good.
Good on the players for being able to say, Okay,
now we can kind of match up a little bit
better against the error of pitching. We can't leave the
(11:49):
best batter's box. We have to go to time. That's
an advantage for the pitchers. Now we get a little
bit something back here with the bats. This is just
part of how baseball goes. Man, this is not that
big a deal, but I will not say that to
my dad.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, it's just a nationwide audience of several million across
the globe on the iHeartRadio app and our five hundred
affiliates nationwide. That's good. Look a couple of things. Number one,
first mover advantage. First, real first mover advantage, because there's
been a couple of batters that have used as they
were saying, Stanton was using it last year in the process.
(12:20):
But that's it. Everybody else will catch up. This is
where I foult major League baseball as a whole. The
hell almost one hundred and fifty years and you're just
figuring out, now, hey, you know what, we could do
something with the bats. Really, all this other elaborate forms
of chicanery, and it was as simple as manipulating the wood.
So also, I want to get after all the guys
(12:42):
that you know have the insights of what they tell me.
I should be investing in yo by gold by gold. No,
I should have maple trees everywhere because everybody's gonna want
my torpedo bats.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, pretty soon you can tell you how far are
we from saying what if I just wait for a
tree to split with lightning and I may wonder boy
out of it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
No, got to use that, No, because then they'd say
there was divine intervention and someone playing illegal. Really, they say,
if you had that giant etching in it, that has
to create an advantage.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh well yeah I would. Yeah, you probably wouldn't want
to use that. You use the etching in that, but
you would go not you would go non etching. Maybe
you non etching and you have a bigger bat.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I really do enjoy the fact that in the first
day you're back from a little bit of a break.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
We got Wilford Brimley into the show that fast. Yeah, guys,
you know who used the torpedo bout tonight? Who's that?
Ellie Dela Cruz. He went four for five with two dingers.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Torpedo bats Man torpedo bats. I do like that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
They look very much like the bats we used to
give our kids when they were younger. So when you're
out playing, playing with them.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
With a whiffle ball. So I mean that that's a
meme that that you were cheating when you were a kid.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, I mean wow cheating. I saw it. I call
it innovating.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well you say cheating, I say innovating, and you can't
prove it? Oh very nice.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Major League Baseball agreed with me. Their rules don't have
much specificity at all.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The torpedo bats have come for you and they will
be your downfall. Exit out about a Fresca exit Swollen Dome.

(16:26):
USC and Yukon Yukon just two quarters away from heading
to the final four the page. Becker's redemption tour continuing.
And again I said it earlier, I'd love to see
USC make a huge I'd love to see it. Don't
know they have it in them. It's really Yukon is
just Yukon has just really done everything they wanted to
(16:47):
do in the first half and they've been able to
stop them from getting in any kind of rhythm. Look,
when you don't have the best player in the country,
it's really really hard to do it. It's a fourteen point
lead right now. I think of USC can get it
inside ten for the fourth quarter. That would be a
big would be a big achievement. Maybe we'll see something
close down the street.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Can they get something from Little Juju like we had
Little Penny from the Science Club?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh sure, Oh yeah, says hello, Hey Tara, you left? Okay,
so we'll have more on this, but getting set to
join us now. I'm the hotline after a big day
in NFL news. Longtime NFL insider check him out on
Odyssey one of five seven the Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post.
He's on Twitter at Jason Locking for It is Jason
Locking for Jay. What's happening? Man?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
What's going on in gentlemen about it.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, it's nice to show up and have everybody say, hey,
you know here we are owners are all ready to
talk today and then talking about a whole bunch of
different things like it's like, hey, okay, it's nice. They
like to continue to move the the the plot lines
along with us and not just give us some downtime
before the NFL draft.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Well, it's mean. It's the timing of this right, it's
right smack towards the culmination of the NCAA tournaments, and
Wright is Baseball's ticking off, and it's a great sign
to engender artificial NFL. So no, thanks, it makes sense.
They always want their cut of the pie. And let's
be real, what they're talking about there, especially among the owners,
more than anything else, is how to continue making obscene
(18:09):
amounts of money.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Uh so, let's start with Jimmy Hasselm. The big
news of the day. The Browns owner said, listen, we
had a big swing and miss on Deshaun Watson, basically saying, okay,
you know, we know what the Deshaun Watson ara is over.
I love that he said, but if you look into
blame someone, blame me and de his wife, the owners
of the Browns. And I want to say, who else
are we going to blame on this?
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Jay?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
There was nobody else to blame on this?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Right? Like what?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Like he's he wants to blame that he should be getting.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Yeah, I don't think there's been much of a disconnect
on this. He wanted Deshaun Watson. He didn't want to
do any real research. We don't need it really get this,
but y'all know what happened. He shall wants to want
nothing to do with Cleveland. He got to thought about it.
He told his football people, let's just keep throwing money
at him. They said, there's a process we have to
go to. They threw They pretty much made a mockery
(18:57):
of that in terms of spending any real time with
him him or you know, really getting into what was
his mindset and he's sort of real examination into what
he had done and what he was capable of, and
you know, did he actually have any sort of remorse? Brainess?
(19:18):
Like all that was just secondary and it was he
got infatuated with the guy, so he authorized his people
to do whatever it took. And whatever it took was
a ridiculous contract that he quickly came to regret for
a multitude of reasons. So yeah, I don't think there
was like a whole lot of people out there saying, boy,
that's silly Stefanski. Why did he really want? Why did
(19:42):
he feel like it was Deshaun Watson or Buffing somehow
convinced that owner to give him two hundred and sixty million,
fully guaranteed. I think we all kind of knew the
genesis of this one. The origin story was widely known,
and brain had already been going to the appropriate people.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Now as it moves, I mean, we got Captain Kirk
showing up at at Chipotle. Now they say it has
nothing to do with any with the Browns, but it
wouldn't be the first time someone lied to us.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Well, the problem there is that Arthur blank who boy
is he bungled his share of quarterbacks? Sure as well,
but looks like they may be onto something there in tennis.
But he doesn't want to just admit defeat and accept that.
Cousins of the sunk coft And therefore it's a salary
dump and you take what you can, you eat what
(20:29):
you have to eat to get rid of you know what,
what portion of that you don't want to pay, and
he's treating it like it's a football trade. And when
you see what the Russell Wilsons of the world are getting,
then you see that, you know, there's nothing out there
right now that Aaron Rodgers wants to latch himself onto. Well,
that's how teams are valuing Kirk Cousins coming off the
(20:50):
lost season and his own achilles issues. So at some
point in time I would think, just to avoid quarterback
controversy and just to avoid you know what's behind door
number two, and just to fully empower penis that they
would want to rid themselves of this. But the way
they've handled it in their initial conversation society really initial.
(21:13):
At this point, we're pretty deep into it. The way
they've handled the situation has frankly left other teams, you know,
sort of jaws a gate, like these dudes aren't even
in the real world, like we guess their owners making
them say this ridiculous stuff, But they're not acting like
a team that wants to trade Kirk Cousins. I suspect
(21:34):
at some point that changing.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Jay when we try to break down the quarterback situation
here and and you Kirk Cousins in Cleveland. Of course,
we're still waiting to find out what's going on in
Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers. I just keep going back to this, right,
at some point we're going to find out that the
Steelers have another plan besides Aaron Rodgers saying he's coming, right,
Because that's the part that I can't get past the
(21:58):
last few days, is that, Okay, Aaron Rodgers doesn't come,
What the hell are they doing? Like there's something else
they have that it's not just Hey, we're really excited
about Mason Rudolph, is it.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Well? I think we just talked about Kirk Cousins, and
I think Kirk Cousins is a very valuable option for them.
Again that the Falcons are gonna have to get real
about the finances of that sort of deal. Yeah, And
I mean after that, it is what it is. I mean,
do you do you start to think about, you know,
(22:29):
I'm Malik Willis. Do you want to try to, you know,
explore Will Levice. I mean there's there's things I guess
you could do. You know, Tannehill. None of that is great,
although you know, Tannehill did have a career renaissance. I
guess with Arder spitting around for part of that, it
(22:51):
is what it is At this point, I mean, what
are those options? You know, draft Jackson Dart. Maybe they
maybe they wait till Day two and take mill wrong.
Maybe they can't wait to quite that pick to take him.
There are options. I'm not going to sit here and
tell you that any of them look like it's gonna
propel them into the playoffs. But we would have also
(23:13):
said the same thing about the Denver Broncs and bow Knicks.
It just a year ago, would we not have.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, probably it will look.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Right sitting here a month before the draft and I'm
gonna say, well, that's okay, They'll just take bow Nick's
twelfth overall, and you would have been like, you're out
of your bleep in mind, what are you talking about?
But well, I would have to take them there, and
then I'd be like, yeah, they're gonna take them, and
then they're gonna they're gonna go to the playoffs and
he's gonna, you know, he's gonna be like one of
the best road quarterbacks in the NFL and he's not
(23:41):
going to turn it over. And everybody been like that,
that's a lot of crap, you know, So we don't
always know. And you know, I'm not saying that there's
a Sean Payton on that Pittsburgh Steelers staff either there
when it comes to the quarterback development. But yeah, I mean,
I don't think if it's something other than all those
(24:02):
names I mentioned, and I think I probably got to
about ten of them in the end, I'd be really surprised.
That's that's that's the reality of the situation. The most
likely one is that I think Rogers just eventually takes
what's on the table. But look, if if Atlanta comes
to their senses first and they go and get Kirk Cousins,
(24:25):
then I don't know where that leads.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Aaron Rodgers, Jason Lockabor with US one O five seven,
the Fan of Baltimore, Washington Post, longtime NFL insider with
us here as he is each and every week Jason
Smith Show with Mike Rman here Fox Sports Radio from
the tire Racks dot Com studios. So in the owners meetings,
we start seeing some momentum towards the tush push and
(24:49):
it's being banned, and it seems like every coach is
now falling in line. Sean McVeagh the latest say that
doesn't look like football to me?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Is this eventually going to get just out?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Oh? I think it just depends, you know we I
kind of anytime coaches talk about this stuff, I tend
to turn it out and unless they're getting their directive
direct you know, from the owner, and they're just you know,
being good soldiers and parroting what they know is already
the way the winds blown it because ultimately doesn't no
one cares what the coaches think. Like in that when
(25:24):
these rules are changed, it's the thirty two guys who
never played the game, right, It's the thirty two rich
guys who decided they're thirty one game they don't reely
have one. I mean, I don't think Mark Murphy might qualifies,
but that's how it gets done. So, you know, like
they value their coaches until they don't. If they take
that away, then they need to just eliminate the ability
(25:45):
to push a ball carrier anywhere, right, Like, if we're
eliminating that, I just hope it extends to this. Wo's
become commonplace of the running up behind a guy. You know,
in some cases multiple people running up behind a ball
carrier and just seeing how long, you know, how deep
of a rugby scrum can we create before his momentum
sufficiently stopped for him they hit the ground or the
(26:06):
officials to eventually get around the blowing it dead like.
If they're going to take this away, I hope they
eliminate anything that resembles this in any way, shape or form,
even on like a hook and ladder type play, like,
it's all that I think should be eliminated in the
name of player safety.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Of course, of course, sure, of course, now go now, yeah,
of course, let's let's make sure of course of course, yes,
yes safety. Let's make sure we say player safety, player safety.
I gotta say, I'm enjoying the poker game being played
by all three teams. At the top of the draft,
you have Tennessee saying, oh, yeah, quarterbacks are are so important,
(26:48):
but yet we're open for business, the brown saying we're
not locked into a quarterback at number two. The Giants
say we're not going to force a quarterback at number three.
How much of this what you're saying, because this is
a great poker sofa, I got sadly, this is just
everybody amping it up.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well, the bros added us reigning Super Bowl champion, Jason,
come on.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, I mean, but I look at it. I go,
this is fantastic, but cut through it for us here.
How much of this is poker? How much of this
is Hey, one team's going to say what they're going
to do here, but really, the quarterbacks are coming off
the borderly.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
I have a problem up coming on this on the
Washington Post. I've been taking people's temperatures about the subterfuge.
I'll say this that the Miami quarterback is going to
Tennessee the length that the Browns went to. It's amazing.
Like we knew who was going to have dinner with
Abdul Carter, right, we knew I think we knew who
(27:41):
was going to be sitting to his left and who
was going to be sitting to his right, And you
know Jimmy has when Sun and Law is going to
be there, Like we knew the whole traveling party in
delegation in their entire plans, like two days before they
even went to the Happy Valley. They want to have
to value to see a player who's not doing anything
physically whatsoever. They bring their coach with them, and he'd
already spent the day with them in their building. It's
(28:03):
just interesting, right, how much we knew about that in
real time, and they really need what a quarterback, right,
and they just they threw money at Miles Garrett until
he shut up about not wanting to be there anymore.
So I would say if SA Door Sanders went to
the Cleveland Browns right now, there's plenty of gms in
a league wouldn't be surprised because they think they don't
(28:25):
protest too much. And if he is sitting there, I'm
still not convinced the Giants tatum and now there are
people in the league I talked to who think they will.
I just we talked about this before. I don't think
he fits the move and the model for that owner,
and this guy's gonna be my guy the next fifteen years.
I just think the idea that he's that outspoken and
(28:48):
that bold and that brash, I don't think that's that
quarter with that owner wants. But what they've done is
create a climate where, you know, as one GM put
it to me, they've covered their ass enough like so
that if they don't take a quarterback, the owner is
not going to probably freak out. But they haven't brought
(29:09):
anybody in there who would preclude you for playing him
right sooner rather than later if you do take one anyway,
and they can kind of both sides it to other teams,
and if they want teams to think they're okay at
quarter they can sell them on that. And if they
want teams to think, no, no, this is just to
get us through the first half of the season and
then we'll trade one of those guys into the deadline
and none of this is going to stop us from
(29:30):
taking a quarterback trying to get somebody to trade up
into their spot. You know, they can probably play those
cards as well. And maybe I'm giving them too much
credit because the Giants and they haven't got a whole
lot right for quite some time. At the end of
the day, I think they take the best player on
their board, and I suspect it's not a quarterback, And
you know, I think they hope and pray that Arch
(29:53):
Manning comes out a year from now, although there's also
a lot of people who would say, go study the Mannings.
Those kids don't come out until they been there four
years and they've been pretty well developed, and he hasn't
obviously played that much to this point. But there are
certainly people out there who feel, like you know, they
would move heavy in eert to get our expanding in
a year from now if they weren't already in position
to get them, just because well they're probably gonna stuck again.

the NFL team, after what their head coach said today,
that is in the most dire need of my pr
advice because they need to just stop talking because all

we get off the air. USC has cut Yukon's lead
to nine nearing the end of the third quarter, so
maybe things will get interesting. Gino ri Em is screaming
on the sideline, so you know things are not going
Yukon's way. However, you know I always like to say
I moon I would moonlight really well as a public
(35:44):
relations advisor to the stars right teams and athletes and
coaches who need my advice for me to say, Hey,
don't say this because you look stupid.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah, you have a lot of thoughts about what other
people should do with their lives and situations.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well, at least or the right things to say when
you know what you want want the public to know
about things. Sure, and the team that needs my absolute
biggest advice right now after what they said today are
the Minnesota Vikings, because I would tell them, hey, guys,
you need my advice. Hi, Jason Smith PR, you have
fog Sports Radio PR. Listen. I want to tell you
(36:17):
something it's important not to do when you talk about
things football related. Don't look stupid. That's the biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Well, nice summary statement.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Don't look stupid today. You know, big owners meeting is
going on. We had a lot of big news to
go on that we're going to you know, starting to
hit throughout the show tonight. Head coach Kevin O'Connell wanted
to make sure that he came clean about the team's
dalliance with Aaron Rodgers earlier this month, and he wanted
to make sure that we knew that, Hey, this did
(36:46):
not reflect any concerns they have about JJ McCarthy, O'Connell
saying on Monday, Hey, I had a relationship with Aaron Rodgers.
We happened to be one of those teams he reached
out to. You know, he's a guy, he's a four
time NFL MVP. We've had respect for him. Happened to
be a point in time in his career he was
free to have some dialogue ab what his future might
look like. But we still love JJ McCarthy. Yeah, again,
(37:10):
don't say stuff like that because you look inept. You
look absolutely inept. That remember, because everybody knows that you're
a team that decided to let Sam Darnald walk. To
let a guy again, that was a Pro Bowl quarterback,
top three quarterback in the league last year, right, But
whatever I think about him, he came through right. Four
thousand yards, thirty five touchdowns, fourteen and three. He went
(37:31):
to the playoff when you thought the season was over
in August, when McCarthy got hurt, and you decided, no, no,
we love JJ McCarthy so much, we're letting Sam Darnald walk.
Okay I can disagree with that, but okay, you love
JJ McCarthy. But now when you go out and talk
to Aaron Rodgers, it seems like, no, you don't love
JJ McCarthy, and you just look like you don't know
what you're doing. We allowed Sam Donald leeve when we
should have played a little bit better. Maybe we could
(37:53):
have franchised him and then traded him, because we could
clearly could have done that. We could assign him it
to it. We could have done a lot of different things.
He could have come into this year with hey, different
things going on with our team. Oh but if we
signed Sam to money, we can't sign the guys we
signed in free agency. Yeah that's true, But you don't
know if you have a quarterback. It's the most important
position on the team. I think you would rather have
(38:13):
a quarterback and have holes elsewhere than have everything else
buttoned up and not know if you have a quarterback.
So stop, you just look inept. And the more talk
about Aaron Rodgers, the worse you look. I can't change
it anymore that it got out, but I would just say, hey, sorry,
it's done. JJ's our guy. He's the number one, because
you can't bring in anybody that's that's gonna fight for
(38:33):
the job with him, because that would be counter to
everything you put out there as a team. And again,
you don't want to look inept. And with this whole
Rogers thing, they have looked inept over the past month,
with and ham handed with how they explain letting Sam
Darnold go but still looking into Aaron Rodgers. When JJ
McCarthy is our guy that we love so much. Really,
I look at him and I just go either they're
(38:54):
just not smart or they don't know what they're doing,
or could be a combination of both.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Well, you got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
You also had Daniel Jones on your roster and Indianapolis
came and got him. Meanwhile, you grabbed a couple of
Indianapolis's offensive linemen. See, we'll show you. You take the quarterback,
he's got nobody to protect him now. But when we
look at how they're going about this, it's the we
want the honesty until we actually get it right. Because
(39:20):
you kick the tires on Aaron Rodgers. Clearly you decided
Sam Donald was only taking you so far. Whether that's
Kevin O'Connell not wanting to look into the mirror and
take any responsibility for his own shortcomings and play calling
and situational football. And it's not to excuse Sam Donald
but just saying it's a big blame buy and everybody
(39:40):
gets their fair share in my world. But for Kevin
O'Connell and company, clearly they decided Sam Donald was the
guy that we're not gonna pay him top dollar, keep
building roster, we'll figure it out and you may like
JJ McCarthy, we don't know where he is physically surgery
and then clean up of the surgery and swelling and
everything else. So why not have some other conversations from
(40:02):
a guy who's climbed to the top of the mountaintop,
As O'Connell even says, the guy that he knew from
his playing days. It's how long Aaron Rodgers has been
in the game, Kevin O'Connell. I remember his New England
Patriots trading cards when he was supposed to be the
next guy after Brady and then praying Brady played for
another decade.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Yeah, well, I mean, it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
But you're you're just at the point of you're doing
your due diligence, but generally you do that behind closed
doors and outwardly you're wearing a sweatshirt that has JJ
McCarthy's face on it.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Yeah, he is your guy.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Don't remind anybody that you might not be smart, like
I always say that, don't remind people, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh that's right. That's the guy that doesn't know. What
is it?
Speaker 3 (40:45):
The better to be quiet, yeah, and open your mouth
and prove that you're an idiot or however, Yeah, let people.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Assume maybe you are, maybe you're not, rather than open
your mouth than not. Oh, they don't know what they're doing.
The less you say about Aaron Rodd, the better off
you'll be. One hundred percent, one hundred hundred percent Exit
