Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Monday, the Jason Smith Show with
my base friend Mike Harmon. Let's go. For over forty years,
Tirerack's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free, backed
by free Road, has a protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation. Tirerac dot com is the way
(00:51):
tire buying should be. Well, we got big stuff out
of the NBA today. One team may have found their
head coach. But right now, aim three of the Stanley
Cup Final and going according to script as we told
you Friday night. Look this is this has been an
incredible first couple of games of Stanley Cup Final. We
said it on Friday. How do you get past this emotionally,
(01:14):
if you're the Oilers, you come back and you tie
this series, you tie the game, and the final minute
of regulation and it double overtime, Brad Marshan comes in
and just tears your heart out. Now, the Panthers coming
home with that kind of momentum, Wed, that might be it.
As much as there's a great series all this, that
might be it for the Oilers because I don't know
how you come back mentally from this, and so far
that's exactly what we have seen. The Panthers dominant, Oh
(01:37):
Redmonton for one of a minute to go in the
second period.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Over under six and a half goals in this one,
because well we know the play is going to open up.
We've had a couple of breakaway opportunities for the Panthers.
They've laid out those really cool rats towels this morning.
I mean, that was that was really a nice play.
A lot of rots in Florida, Mike, there's.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No question about yeah. But wait, you know, but here's
the thing though, Like like the man, I'm talking ones
that rat people out. Oh okay, yeah, and there are
a lot of them on Staten Island in places where
no one knows because you know, that's where I lived,
took it down to Florida and had them fed to
the lions. Stattn Island is the highest highest place on
the East Coast as far as uh uh you know,
fe feet above sea level, which means there's lots of
(02:17):
places to bury people. So it's kind of it's kind
of what I learned growing up. We're right here, We're
on the highest point of the east. What great does
that come in?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Is that one of those filler things at the end
of the year at school, it's like, here's some factoids
you need to know.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
How you doing. I'm I'm mister, I'm mister soprano. Welcome
to kindergarten. First thing I'm gonna tell you. Never rat
on your friends. That's the number one rule. What why
aren't we gonna learn about reading, reading and writing or
coming soon? Never rat on your friends, right, let's say it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Say it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We're gonna say it until you guys know it, coming
out of the out of your eyeballs ready, Never rote
on your friends? Good, okay. Number two, always keep your
mouth shut right, we notice, right? Okay, keep your mouth
shut right? We done around? Okay, very good. Let's repeat
after me. With that, always keep your mouth shut, never
ride on your friends. Isn't that from Goodfelts? You get
out right now, I will bury you someplace no one's
(03:05):
going to ever find you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
The third would be to claim you're along the lines
of shoeless Joe Jackson. You don't know how to write
no yacause when they say you got to write that
statement out?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, so he got what does that mean when
we that's all I got. We went, uh, I'm a
d When we were looking at elementary schools for so
I'm going back aways now, I'm going back like twelve
years looking for element na twelve yeah, about twelve years
so looking for elementary schools. And we saw this one
school that we kind of liked. We're like, okay, we're
go looking. We're looking around, and we go in and
(03:37):
we get to go and talk to one of the
teachers and a really nice guy. Everybody liked him. And
he you know, he's you know, he's got all the stuff.
He's like a surfer. He had like, you know, pictures
of he's an older guy and he had pictures of surfing,
you know, surfboards up in his uh uh in his room.
Really laid back. I kind of like the guy. And
then he says, you know, English is my special team.
We do a lot of this, a lot of rioting
on this. Oh that's great, that's great.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
He is.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know, we do math too. He goes, I'm not
really good at it. Hah, but we do it. And
I left and I just wait and I just wait
and I I just said, wait, you're not good at
kindergarten math. And I said it like in a half
joking tone, but half says, dude, I'm not asking you
to teach calculus, like you're not good at teaching kindergarten math.
(04:18):
And there was the X right over that guy's name
in that school? Where was the X right there? Okay,
if you have to kindergarten math, I'm not very good
at it, But how could you struggle teaching? Come on, man?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
But at least he put it out there right away.
How pissed would you have been if you'd gone to
this school? And then all of a sudden you're realizing,
wait a minute, my daughter's teaching the class.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
How's math? What's math? Math class? Well, you don't do math?
What do you mean we don't do it? Don't believe
in it. What do you mean you don't believe it's
an extra recess period instead? Oh? Oh great, great, great,
Well kay, I still can't believe. I still can see
the guy sitting going. You know you do math. I'm
not very good at it. I'm like, oh, wow, dude,
you're telling me you're not good. I can't do.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Kidding and I am coloring inside the lines at a
fifth grade level.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I mean, really, can you get to the number five?
I mean, I don't think you do anything more than
five when you start teaching kindergarten math. I think that's
a big number. Oh okay, that's it. You're done at
some next level stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's a very thorough and well I mean expeditious way
to weed people out.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
There's no question about that. So, uh, we'll love more
kindergarten math throughout this.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh that's good, because you're gonna have to rack up
a lot of numbers here in this Dodgers Padres.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, what was the over under? I know,
but it's already don Dodgers Padres is to two bottom
of the first inning. Like, this is bigger than kindergarten math.
There will there'll be more runs in this game than
you get the numbers you get to bullpens. Yeah, I
know this year, right, it's like, hey, yeah, big second
week in June, big series.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
All of a sudden, they're gonna play ten straight games
against division opponents.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Right now, teams are battling to be the second best
team in the National League. Like this is a really
big series. I mean, this being the second best team
in the nation the league is a big deal. Man, Like, hey,
you means you're almost You're right, fan, you're right below
the best. Oh, that's the best team in the National League.
That's the best team in the night.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
He was trying to play the tell me you're a
Mets fan without telling me you're a Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You know how you do that much celebrating June.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, there is that over under was eight on this one.
So we're halfway home already in the first.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I'm just saying this. You know, we're going by what's
going on right now, and this is what's happening. I mean,
the show is tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean that is uh and right now for all
of our affiliates nationwide and the global iHeart radio application. Yeah,
it's it's right now and yes the Mets are are
That is a nice looking Uh it's like it's never
been worn Mets hat.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Oh no, this well, this because this is my special one.
I don't wear this very often. This is my London
twenty twenty four because this is the series that turned
things around for the Mets last year. So you're trying
it my special hatjo going off day hat. It's my
off day hat, like a hey off day. Hey, I
playing big right now? You know everything is good, best
record the National League? Like where my special my Mets? Yeah,
(07:03):
well he's living in the past. You know what. I
like winners, that's my thing. I like winners. I want winners.
And Jets fan well, okay, well, let's let's just let's
let's just okay, you open the door. Oh no, that's good.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Look, but which means I'm coming through and I got
a baseball bat, and he's got a club and who
knows what Mary's carrying?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, here's where I'm going to start the show, the
little bit of a left turn for you, and I'm
gonna say, boy, I was wrong. I was wrong. At
seven o eight West Coast, always okay, saying I'm wrong.
I'm always okay saying when I'm wrong. He says a
lot of things. We're gonna be wrong a lot. It
doesn't happen that often. My My track record of predicting
(07:44):
the future is really good. Like I mean, like greatest
in Vegas. Like I could go and be like the
guy run away. Why have we done that? Because I
like doing this better. I gotta dress up in suits
and have to do that for like, yeah, yeah, that's
the thing I got. Yeah, I mean, oh, the guy
in the sweatpants. Mean, that guy in the sweatpants spreaks
the future. But I get it.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It doesn't matter in the sweatpants what you want. But
if you actually could make this happen, you'd literally have
to do it for like a month, and then you
never have to be seen again. You could be on
an island, you know, hanging out by Clooney.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah no, that's true. I actually do have a cool
guy in sweatpants story that I'll tell later in the show.
But it's not me. It's somebody else. No, no, no, no,
no cool guy, no, famous famous media star, famous guys.
I get it. It could it could be good gentlemen.
But I was wrong, none of that very often. But
I was wrong because I told you, boy, this Knicks
(08:39):
coaching search is going to last through the finals, into
the beginning, maybe into the draft, not in the beginning
of free agency, because teams want to know I want
who I'm coming to play for. So but they're gonna
take you know, they're gonna enjoy this little bit here.
They're gonna enjoy being the destination, being the big story.
But after the news today, the Knicks half their coach. Okay,
(09:00):
we had heard the end of last week, potentially Jason
Kidd could be someone the Knicks want to talk to
about their head coaching job. Friend of the Mark Mark Stein,
had that story. He's gonna join us tonight and you know,
in a couple hours to talk about it. Right, So
that's a big deal. Why, Hey, Jason Kidd, Jalen Brunson,
Jason Kidd, Jannis, right, all of it. Yanna still loves
(09:22):
Jason Kidd, all this stuff. And Jason Kidd has had
a really successful coaching career in the NBA. One, Hey,
he's made it further than Tims has. Right, the Tim's
been coaching nine years in the league. Hey, that would
be something. But are the Are the mevs really gonna
want to lose somebody else big to the Knicks? Right
after the Knicks just basically walked in, picked up Jalen
Brunson and just you know, kind of peeled out. It's
(09:43):
like showing up when you're hanging out watching a movie
with your girlfriend and this guy comes in and says, hey,
you ready, and she leaves and he peels out of
your driveway, and then you got to see the tire
staying on your driveway forever, and every time you walk outside,
you go, that's the guy that just drove off with
my girlfriend. That's just like the guy coming back to
you for your next girlfriend, saying, hey, you're ready, You're
gonna let him do it again. Like I said, there's
no how are the MAVs gonna do this? The only
(10:05):
way right and the only again I hate to say
I told you so, but this out predicting the future
is I said. The only way is if Jason Kidd
somehow lets it be known he is open to talking
to the Knicks, or there could be some kind of
mutual interest, well what was the mark Stein report? Today?
There is mutual fascination slash interest between Jason Kidd and
(10:28):
the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So Jason Kidd really miss Jalen Bronson. This is only
when it comes down.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
To maybe he hates Cooper Flagg. Hey, I don't want
to coach Cooper Flagg.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
But he was talking about that kid from Duke because
he can't say his name yet even though they have
the number one pick.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It makes no sense. That's the dumbest thing the NBA million.
You wouldn't be some you'd be stunned at some of
the things the NBA and the NFL have that they
they really want. We really don't want to the Hills.
They want to die.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Petman going on broadcasting yelling at a guy because he
talked about state sales tax in Florida being an incentive
for players to go play down there.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's not a thing, dude. When When When I when?
I'll just tell you this one quick story before I
get to the back, Chason Kidd, is that one time
we were at NFL Network when I was there and
we were doing some kind of some kind of draft preview,
fantasy draft preview show. We were talking about players and
where they would fit fantasy wise on certain teams. Right,
and we started talking and I forget who it was.
(11:22):
I forget the player we were talking about, but Bucky
Brooks is gonna be on the show. We're sitting here,
were talking about who this player is at and then
all of a sudden, like I didn't know this, but
like Bucky and a couple people going, yeah, well, how
are we gonna say this? How are we gonna say this?
And I'm like, what we talk about, Well, I'll tee
it up and say this, you know this is and yeah,
I don't know that we could say that. And then
(11:42):
they decided to say we could say, you know, maybe
a certain and I'm just throwing this out there, maybe
a certain quarterback from southern California is gonna be that
guy for this team. And I'm like, so we can't
say the guys and even though he's going into the draft,
all this like data there was. I can't tell you
some of the stories people would tell me about FL
owners who would say, don't say these guys' names before
(12:03):
the draft. These are not just guys that are sitting
in college like they have two more years ago. These
are guys who are entering the draft, that are in
the draft. Well, and they can't say in the draft.
So it's not like we can't say his name.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So like, hey, you shouldn't have said that guy was
still available in the fantasy draft.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I might have been able to get him because we
can't say this quarterbacks name.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Like a lot of times, I know they had the
bet rule that you had to deal with the bets.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
At least I kind of understood this, like we can't
say the guy's name. Really, he's not like, so that
that's I mean, that's so that's that's.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
That's what Jason Kid has kind of been with in this. Yeah,
and like but as we talked about, right, Spolstra, that
got a lot of run. Thanks to all of you
for posting that, yeah and retweeting that that was great.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I still want Spolster.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But but I mean between spols Kid, I mean, they're
all guys you have to ask permission for. But why
not shoot big Yeah? Right, you just fired a guy
after giving them an extension. Kids one year into an extension.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
So well, and the thing is now you also know
because Jason Kid's not going to let it be known
he's interested unless he wants the gig. And this is
where if you're the Mags, you're gonna go. Man, they're
gonna do it to me again like the guy on
top gun, I want some butts. That's another fly by,
I want some butts. Right, he comes in, he coaches
(13:15):
the Mavericks, They trade Luca right? Is he really up
for that? Now? Am I up for whatever this this
craziness is. Even though Cooper flag is coming, Am I
up for this? Because this was really bad? He wouldn't
signal he's okay with going unless he's ready to go.
And if you're the Mavericks, I get how you could say,
we don't want to give you permission, But do you
really want a guy coaching your team that you don't
(13:38):
that he doesn't want to be there? Of course not,
So you're gonna have to fit. They're gonna figure out
some kind of trade. It's not gonna be Karl Anthony
Towns for Jason Kidd, but there's gonna be some kind
of of maneuvering where the Knick's gonna have to give
stuff up to get him. But this doesn't happen unless
the Knicks get Jason Kidd. Jason Kidd doesn't put his
future coaching future with Dallas at stake unless he knows
(13:58):
I'm getting to the Kicks. The Knicks don't put this
out there and now this going on unless they know
they're getting Jason Kidd. This is not like I mean,
this is a big day. This tells me that the
NIXT coaching search is basically done and it's just gonna
be the Knicks and the MAVs haggling over whatever the
price is, the you know whatever, some kind of deal,
whatever it's gonna be, that's they're gonna haggle over. But
now after this happens, this doesn't get this far unless
(14:21):
it's going to happen. So Jason Kid's gonna be the
next head coach of then, well, the.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Beauty of it, and also it unravels and solves some
of those well here too, four unsolved mysteries in terms
of timing and who knew what and when. As to
the Luca donchen strade, we can always talk about the
Laker part and folks can deny what they knew, what
they didn't know. But from the Maverick side with Jason Kidd,
now it makes more and more sense that he had
(14:45):
no idea any of that was going down because he
took this stiff upper lip and we looked at the roster,
and I was intrigued by it, Like, obviously a lot
of risk in terms of age, health and everything else
when you talk about Kyrie and Anthony Davis, and certainly
it bore out that way, But it was a squad
with Clay Thompson as well. They're like, all right, this
(15:08):
could be interesting, and then you win the lottery and
you get Cooper Flagg. But this still floats out. That
means you're still having I want the access to the
months of text messages and transcripts of phone calls of
still fighting that battle months later after Luca was traded away.
So yeah, it certainly lends itself to a all right,
(15:30):
we need we need to break up and peel out
of the driveway.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harman. I'm telling you,
did you don't get to this level when a guy
has a job unless it's gonna happen. May take a
little bit to figure it out, but Jason Kidd next
head coach of the next it's happening. It's happening. We're

Speaker 1 (17:29):
What's happening man? How are you?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I am doing well. I hope you are as well.
And if you catch me every day, pretty much every day,
that's pretty much noon Eastern, pretty much nine specifics. Oh
one of that where i'd be breaking down our favorite
plays of the day along with some other established handicappers.
And so far, so good with that. We've kind of
(17:52):
been crushing it.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So can you add another couple of jobs? I feel
like you're slacking.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Oh, touch me. I'm looking for Mark.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Okay, I'm looking for Mark Syracuse cheap man.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Syracuse bill just came in today that that alert from
the Burs's office. That's probably a beautiful thing. Somehow, I
have myself convinced that was on the other side of July.
For it, But no, that was today.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What are you class in ninety ninety six?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Right? I am ninety six ninety six.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So did the letter say, hey, congratulations alumni Jason outing Hey,
by the way, we need some money.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
It doesn't say anything. It's you get an alert. It's
just going to your mid slice and your versa's account
has been updated. And then you go in there and
you kind of squint and peak with one eye, and
then you look at it, and then you look at
the five twenty nine and what's left of it? We'll
say what of that?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
All right? So if you were betting, now that he's here,
Rogers is in. He signed one year, thirteen million. Maybe
he's engaged, maybe he's married, maybe he's not. If I
said to you, how does this play out this season
for the Steelers, what would you tell me?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I mean, look, he's better than Mason Rudolph. Uh he
but he's not good and he's got no allegiances there whatsoever.
And it's an arranged marriage that he delayed as long
as he possibly could. So I don't think any of
(19:17):
that botes particularly well for them now that they are
an established team. This is not the joke ass check. Sorry. So, like,
I don't think it's going to undermine them the way
it did there. You know, Like this is very different
than him knowing that he had Salah under his thumb
from the Gidda up and doing everything he could to
undermine that guy and make that as messy as it
(19:38):
could be. I don't think he's got that sort of
Malson is hard for Mike Tomlin, at least not yet.
It probably it probably accrues pretty quickly with him. But
so like, I don't know, but they're in the hunt
every year, and it's a good defense, and like I
(20:02):
don't know, you know, everybody makes the playoffs now or
everybody's you know, pretty much in it unless you're the Jets,
you know, around around Christmas. So I think it'll feel
like a lot of Steelers seasons. I think Mike Tomlin's
going to be very accustomed to this. Like the last
(20:22):
three years of Ben Roethlisberger, it's a lot like this,
A bunch of passes into the slot, you know, five
to twelve yards downfield, and a guy kind of patting
his stats at the end of his career who every
once in a while will on cork a few throws
to make you remember what was But guys, he does
not want to get hit anymore. He will throw the
(20:44):
ball into the ground in half a second rather than
risk anything to do anything of particular, you know, expertise,
what do they do every year? You know? I think
it just will be another Stealers season where they're right
around five hundred. You know, at some point in the season,
(21:06):
maybe they get three or four games up, and then
at some point in the season they'll be, you know,
right around five hundred, and they'll have something to play
for in the final two or three weeks, and that'll
be that They're not going to go anywhere in the
playoffs heat. There's not going to be a Peyton Manning
type exclamation point towards the end of this guy's season.
(21:27):
The last one of those was his last MVP, which
is further and further in the real review mirror, because it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Kind of feels like we're hitting the stage where we
do with the NBA the regular seasons all finding good
what are you doing in January? And for Pittsburgh that
hasn't been a lot. But it's still a lifetime contract
for Mike Tomlin unless he decides to e Lee right,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
This could bring the whole thing down. Now if this
goes worse than this, if this goes like it did
last year, where we're talking at week ten and it's like,
wait a minute, how could you know Garrett Wilson and
Briest Hall and all these guys have been better with
Zach Wilson than they are you know what I mean
with Aaron Rodgers, Like if we hit Defcon five and
(22:10):
he's ripping people on McAfee and he's taken shots at
ownership and nobody, you know, the rest of the locker
room thinks he's a turd. And guys individually now are
losing money because of him because you know, they're not
being in position to make place and he's playing favorites
and whoever his lazard becomes, you know, that guy gets
like in the interpersonal politics spell out onto the field. Like,
(22:34):
if that stuff happens, then I think my com has
cook because like Tomlin risked his reputation to put his
football operations on hold until the middle of June for
this guy. He basically had his offensive coordinators spinning his
wheels for months waiting for this guy to get to
town and they bring in that cast, and you know,
(22:58):
most of the off season, all the way up until
mandatory mini camp, people will have never spent any time
around the new quarterback. You know, like the whole thing
is pretty messy. Now again, I think he'll play decent
enough football, and they're well enough coached, and they have
a defense, and they have a great special teams and
a great kicker like and the Margins are swimming this league,
(23:19):
so all that probably keeps them afloat. But if it doesn't,
and if he checks out around Thanksgiving, you know, basically
says you could play somebody else. We saw them sick
of getting hurt and kind of starts inferring that on
his Buddy's TV show, then I think ownership is going
to have to look at Mike Tomlin and be like,
hey man, we called everybody that expectations were raised and
(23:40):
this had to be a different year, and now we
look like a joke. Now we look you know, this
must be what it feels like to wake up and
be Woody Johnson every day. I don't like it, you know,
So do I think he could torpedo? I think he could,
because there's no way you're going to tell me Omar
Khan goes into Problem's office and says, coach, I just
got off the phone with his agent, said, look, just
(24:01):
give me two or three more weeks, and I think
I can get him here by Eastern Hey, coach, I
know it's you know, good Friday, and I said, I
thought he'd be here, but but look, just give me
another month. You know what I mean. Pretend you're running
a football team in the interim, and I think I
can get the quarterback here, you know, by by Memorial Day.
Oh hey, coach, look, I'm really really like, boy, I
(24:24):
think July fourth is really solid. Like I can solidly
tell you you'll have Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback by
July fourth? Is that Is that okay with you? Like
that's That's not what's going on here? This is this
is five thousand Thomas. No.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And here's the thing, Jay, is that we talked about
this last week and and I'm with you. If this
doesn't work for Tomlin, like that's it. Like you can
only get so many chances to try to build a team,
you know, when when you're trying to pick a quarterback.
But what's crazy to me is that is that he's
been okay with the guys he's trying to pick has
been justin Fields and Russell Wilson and now and now
it's waiting for Aaron Rodger. Just like if you're gonna
(25:01):
go down idea, Hey go swinging. Hey, we'd spend a
lot of money because we believed in Sam darl or
we believed in another guy. Hey, that stuff I would get.
But this is like, hey, I'm okay with potentially getting
booted out after shopping in the clearance. Been for a
quarterback for the last four years.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yeah, it's kind of odd and like when you look
at how they're built and what their strengths are and
like in the real term, short term, and that's what
we're talking about when we're talking about Ben Roethlisberger three
years after he's already cooked, but we keep running them
out there. And we're talking about the Russell Wilson thing
they tried last year with Fields for one year and
(25:37):
then this it's all about trying to win this next
sleeping game. The best six games fan for me, the
most sustainable, the one that looked like it was on
an up swing, and especially with what the run game
was spark starting to do in the red zone to
meet with the four and two and jumpin field, right, remember,
and he just he started to play some of Thiss
(25:59):
does football when they cut his kneecaps off because nobody
other than Mike Tomlin wanted to see Russell Wilson now.
And then that was good for four to six weeks,
and then the wheel fell off, and then unfortunately Fields
got hurt, and then you know, there was no going back.
But like, the odd thing to me is I would
have just brought Fields back. I mean, that's what I mean.
(26:20):
I would have just done that and said, look, him
and Warren together in the pistol is going to invigorate
our run game. It's going to help our offensive line out.
We're going to be a ball controlled defense because I
mean a ball control offense, because that's what we need here.
And like he was starting to cut down on the turnovers,
and I think the best thing for them was to
(26:41):
make you defend the quarterback in the run game, and
now they've gone so far from that. To a guy who,
like I told you, we'll just throw it into the
fifth row or throw it into the ground in two
point you know, in point two seconds. As he doesn't
like the way that plays developing, and he says it
might result in him getting crushed, and I just I
(27:02):
coupled with there's not going to be enough big plays
to dk metcast to offset the negative runs and the
spiked balls, and I just I just don't buy it.
I don't think like him coming in this late with
Arthur Smith. To me, that's just really like that's a
middle thinger to their offensive staff. And if I'm those guys,
(27:27):
I'm not feeling great about this. Whereas you wouldn't have
to put up an A and FBS with with Justin Field.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
This is true, all right, Well, now he's Jason's guy
there with the New York Football Jets.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Let's go to another veteran quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
It looks like Kirk Cousin's going to show up for
mandatory mini camps and and say and try to shop
his wares once again.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I mean, how does this play out?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
How uncomfortable thing is going to be for Michael Pennix
and for the folks around that.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, he's got to show up. Hey, look at me.
I'm making more money than that guy. And if you
want me to just stand here and hold a clip
for it, I can. But I'm not going to highlight
my contract. I'm not going to forfeit anything. And yeah,
if you think this is awkward, then you should be
saw my salary and get me out of here. I mean,
at this point, I think they've you know, they've undermined
(28:13):
themselves in terms of getting obviously clearly getting something done
before we get to camp. And in the end they're
gonna have to eat the money that they didn't want
to eat to move them regardless. Now, I'm sure the
owners thinking a couple of quarterbacks get hurt, you know,
contending themes, and I might, I might have a market,
but I just don't think that these other guys are
(28:35):
going to want to pay the whole the whole salary,
you know, whether it's now or whether it's because they
their quarterback is hurt in August. So I I don't know, man,
I don't I don't see it. And I think he
needed to get ahead of this. Like I can remember, people,
how many reports are there about all somebody's looking at Tannehill.
(28:56):
Somebody's looking at Tannehill like last year all you're looking
at anybody? Remind me did anybody sign tent?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Know?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You know what I'm saying at trade.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Kirk Cousins was before everybody signed their freaking quarterbacks and
drafted their freaking quarterbacks. Like the time to do it
was the combine, for God's sake, when you should if
you know what you're doing, you start figuring out that, oh,
you know what, jam Darnold's not doesn't have what he
thinks she's going to have, and you know what, Stafford
doesn't have what he thinks she's gonna have, and he
might have to go back to LA and so you
(29:24):
know what, now the time to just eat eat seven
million to save fifteen million and get Cousins out of
here and get something for him, because that's fifteen million.
If we're going to be like I can sell that
to my owner, Like, yeah, we should give up whatever,
pick a four that moves to it two if you
played twelve games or more or whatever. But like that
(29:46):
shit is sale, and these guys are not in the
business of picking up twenty five million dollar players in
the summer. It doesn't happen. A lot of these teams
use a cash budget. Hey, GM, this is what you got.
Once you ring that credit card up. Good luck at
the wave of wire and you're looking at that minimum deals.
So I don't know. Man, your guess is as good
as mine.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He's on Twitter at Jason Locking for that is at
Jason lock and fora Jay as always, Buddy appreciated, man,
enjoyed the week. Stay hot, stay out with a gambling advice.
Stay hot, my friend. We'll talk to you.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Hey, thank you, guys. Wanna beta bet on Twitter?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
See Jason time now to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports. Martin Wise, what you got
for us?
Speaker 5 (30:27):
The Tampa Bay Rays just made an error in the
bottom of the tenth inning to tie the game between
the Boston Red Sox and Tampa.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's not eight to seven. Oh wait a second, the
guy just ridical, you know what.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
The score didn't update, you know, maybe it's still seven
to eight to seven? All right, there we go eight
to seven. I'm sorry. At runner advanced to third base,
it looked like, no, yeah, it's eight to eight. They
haven't updated it up here everything, But it says eight
to eight on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Anything.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I just watched the guy cross home.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Good, you're good.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You get hey, let me let me pass out. How
come here, you're good, bro, I'm going through a tough
time here.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I love the extra inning says Tampa Bay eight, Boston seven,
will on and two out in the tenth The scoreboard
on the actual game and will be extra innings has
four screens at four games going at once.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
The scoreboard in the game says eight to eight. But
that's so small because I'm looking at a small screen.
Does that really say eight to eight? Then ESPN finally
updates with the actual score. It's eight to eight. MLB
Extra Innings needs to go ahead and get this thing together.
But you know what, They're going to go on to
the top of the tenth inning with the score eight
to eight. Interestingly enough, we will see uh excuse me,
(31:39):
Roman Anthony. That's actually him, Roman Anthony, not Greece Anthony
or France Anthony Roman or Greg Anthony.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I just want to say one one thing, Mark, I
think that this last like like night lists, like sixty
ninety seconds. Maybe glasses maybe you know this is when
the screen gets small. The screen gets small. Yeah, you
gotta find a way. Screen is not gonna get any bigger.
I've been fighting, I've been five years.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
All right, but still MLB Extra Inning still has an
updated to score, so.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You know, finally, finally, all right, now here we go.
Speaker 5 (32:09):

of these.

the day.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Bout the two two ground ball to first ball game.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Murray State has done it.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Upset in Durham. The racers race on to Oma.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Hall, Oh ESPN TV on the call. This is where
they needed Kenny Mayne so we could say, and we're
racing to Omah. It sounded like almost like the broadcast
when in the fifties when they would like like try
to pretend they were doing something live and they would
play like two bats hitting each other like in the studio.
That's what it sounded like, that bad sound effect of
the ground ball all there it is, but Murray State
(35:42):
the racers headed to Omaha. Well, you know you're.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Looking at a duke team that was trying to do
their first appearance in sixty one.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, no, hi, Cooper Flagg, because that'll be a big one.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
No, I mean you got that, I mean Murray State.
I guess we go back to uh we got jon yep. Sure,
this is they have like the fourth fourth seed ever
to make it to Omaha. Like, this is a crazy
This is like the Hey, all the mid majors are winning.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
The Ncacturny has been an odd run certainly before we
saw it on the softball side, and now we have
it here. You got six different teams, six conferences represented,
and an independent. No teams that were in it last year.
How does this all change now? There we have these
new Kakamani rules. Well, well again, this would be like this,
(36:31):
but if something changes, like if football realigns, maybe I
won't be able to say that. But seven of the teams,
six different conferences and independent, no teams repeat from last year.
It's great, Like that's that's awesome. It's great for the game.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
This is far beyond any of the Hey, we're gonna
have at least one extra winner that goes from worse
to first like we do in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
No, here, we changed everything out. We're racing now to
the blank show. That Okay, it's good and bad news
because okay, it's not your favorite team, but it's kind
of everybody's favorite team, the US men's national team in soccer. Really,
they have become such a blank show over the course
of the last year. Right, he had that uninspiring loss
(37:12):
in the friendly the other night. You know, Rissio Pochatino
was supposed to commit. I'm getting everybody ready. All the
players backed out. Christian Polistics said he wanted to back
out because he'd just finished a long season. Landon Donovan,
United States star criticized Polistic about, Hey, this is for country,
you should show up because look, Ronaldo is playing right, Like,
why look looking at me. He's forty years old, he
(37:34):
could barely walk and he still knows. Hey, I'm here
to play for my country. And when that happened, after
the criticism of a polistic, Polistic's dad posted a post
on social media asking Ai why did Landon Donovan skip
playing for the US national team in twenty thirteen, Because
(37:55):
he skipped it began. He didn't make the team in
twenty fourteen after the big run in twenty eleven, which
really was the big birth of American soccer for the
men's side here in the United States. And so we
post this thing. I asked AI why Landon Donovan didn't
make it? And the AI post was, oh being run
down and having a lot of Renevoent and Christian polistic
like this on social media, right, and you know I
(38:17):
and here's the thing is, I understand that you're trying
to build something new and and you know, allegedly we've
had these young players for so long that are supposed
to be the next great iteration of soccer United States.
But they've been around a while. And I just want
to say this, when is the last time you heard
a good story about the US men's national team, and
(38:38):
the hire of poa Chatino doesn't count because we don't
know how that's gonna go, right, So, okay, at least
it's not Burhalter. But when's the last time there was
good news either on the field, off the field, personnel
wise anything. When's the last time there was good news
for the US men's national team. I can't even remember
the last time there was saying, Hey, we got this,
we got this ny kidnuck competing and the goal. They're
(39:00):
not competing this. People are skipping, healthy players are skipping.
This is the US men's national team is such a
blank shot, and they had such a great chance to
own the moment right because the US women's team was
in a downturn. Now US women's team is back to dominating.
The Trident's gonna dominate them for years. And now the
men's team is back being a dumpster fire.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Oh we always have the next hope, right, we go back.
You and I are doing this long enough together. You
had Altador, he was gonna be the guy. Nope, Polistic
he's going to be the guy who's next. It's always
the wishing and hoping, you know, hope not being a
strategy and all. As we've talked about for a long while,
Yeah you can get into these slap fights, but yeah
it's been negative commentary either about the coaching or just
(39:42):
trying to figure out how you break through to where
you are an upper tier squad and get the buy
in behind you versus well wishing and hoping, because that's
all it is.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Generations. May this goes back to when we were kids
this all began. I mean, well then the last time
there was good news about the stripey. It's insane. You
know that the World Cup's gonna be here. I guess
that's good. At least we're gonna be in it. Coming
up next to two big stories out of what we
just saw
