This is the best of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Greetings and welcome in another beautiful night here Fox Sports
Radio Tuesday Edition. Jason Smith off gallivanting in the Greater
Michigan area or heading there. Whatever he's doing, Good luck
to him. At how about a fresca? We got Jared
Smith in his stead. You hear him on Countdown Saturday
mornings here on the network, betting analyst, keeping everybody in

(00:55):
line as we get ready for another big football season.
He joins us on Mike Carmon, Thanks for being with us,
being part of our extended family, and we have the
open that well gets us to the open. The passing
of Ozzy Osbourne's seventy six years old. I was thinking
back of seeing him back in all the way in
nineteen ninety one when I was a wee lad, Jared,

(01:17):
So you're in tonight where I'll probably just start singing
randomly in the middle of hot take nonsense, just because
of the influence the Prince of Darkness had.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Just make sure you turn the mic down because he
tended to scream, right, We don't want to blow out
you know, any you know amps or anything, you know,
a little too overmodulated. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, once
you get in that red area, they get a little
upset with you. But no, it's this is the first
time that I've done the Jason Smith Show. It's a
perfect name transition. You don't even have to change the
initials like it's you know the Jays. I mean, you

(01:47):
can literally just go right into it. So no excited
to be here with you, Mike. We've done stuff before.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
It's going to be a blast. Four hours should fly
by rook one.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
So much going on, obviously, as we get ready for
the start of training camps, guys disappearing and heading to
other states. We look at Micah Parsons responding to Jerry Jones. Now,
it's a nice dance. You decide what kind of temple
you want to go to. Maybe it's a mosh pit.
Maybe it's one of those things where guys start chasing
themselves in a circle and you just need to get

(02:17):
the hell out of there before bad things happen. Or
maybe it's a nice waltz. I don't know, but we'll
talk about that as we go. We'll talk about trying
to topple Chiefs Kingdom, whether you actually want to watch
the documentary series, and that's the collective. You out there
in radio land, get in with us at Jared Smith
bets on Twitter, at swallow Dome at Fox Sports Radio,

(02:39):
give us a piece of your mind. We'll talk a
little bit about the AFC wes, some curiosity, some signings
mixed therein as people try to navigate the Kansas City Chiefs.
Last year looked like the year to go get them,
and well, lo and behold there they were still winners.
But you know, one of the things we're gonna lean
into a lot while you're here, Jared, is your acumen

(03:00):
and the betting analysis world and trying to read through
the tea leaves and cut through the noise as to
how to make you a winner at the window, and
especially when we look at the changing faces of college
football and such as to how we navigate those each year,
as to stability and instability and chaos when we get

(03:21):
our preview magazines and none of the principals are still
on the team that they're listening with. So all of that,
and and then some, and certainly in Major League Baseball,
Steve Disager and I celebrated a bit last night, rich
Hill forty five years old after it against the former team.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Looked all right, right, I mean, like it's forty five
on the road at Wrigley against the Cubbies, who are
supposedly good.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
I would say it did pretty well.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
It's actually the proble. I like that the supposedly good.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
So let's start there, seeing as I'm a card carrying Southsider.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
As you and I were talking a little bit before the.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Show, you know the World Series Championship that ESPN refuses
directing guys the two thousand and five White Sox. They
actually had a graphic last week talking about the Astros
with the four nil sweep. Yeah that's right. I got
Niel in because I've been watching way too much soccer.
Another splendid Euro twenty twenty five piece today, but major

(04:16):
League Baseball trying to find and navigate the beginning of
the second half. We got John Paul Morosi coming up
with us next hour. But on a day to day basis,
you know, where where do you find it? I know
the nurfy is one of your favorite ways to go.
Did you find some value today?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, we hit one in Seattle just before we came on. Actually,
cal Rawly gave one a ride to the two outs
bases empty bottom one Miserowski on the hill for the Brewers,
and it's actually a perfect lead in to the Cubs conversation.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
But he gave one a ride out the center. But
Misserowski was in.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I mean, he's just throwing cheese like one oh one,
you know, the change up the curveballs like ninety miles
an hour.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
He has an unbelievable extension and his velocity has been fantastic.
I mean, I know people didn't like you in the
All Star Game, but it was an exhibition and this
kid's gonna be the next scheme, So I understood why
they did it. On the Cub side. That's the problem
is they don't have someone like Jacob Mizerowski. They don't
have a brand of Woodrof coming back from injury. Who's
gonna give them innings and explosive innings at that? I

(05:16):
think their rotation is a little more pieced together with veterans, right,
Matthew Boyd, where's this coming from?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Show to Imanaga?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
I think can be an ace, But then it's Jamison Tyone,
it's Colin Ray like it just it doesn't scare me
if I'm in a five or a seven game series,
if I'm facing Miserowski, Woodriff, Peralta, that scares like that's legit,
Like that is a legit fi Like if you're facing
the Dodgers in the NLDS in a five game series,
those three guys would scare me. So I think that's

(05:44):
where the Cubs have a problem. And you could still
bet the Browers a plus money to win the Central.
The market just continues to undervalue this team because they're
not sexy, but they just every year they just kind
of piece it together and then they call up guys
like Miserowski and then really the Woodroff coming back from
injury and pitching well, I think is kind of the
cherry on top because he is a legitimate sy on
candidate when he's one hundred percent. So the Brewers have

(06:05):
the momentum right now. I think the Cubs kind of
need a little bit of a spark, and maybe facing
Richel will help.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Definitely the curiosity of watching over the next ten days.
What kind of action, if any, the Cubs make in
the trademarket. Currently they are minus one forty five bet
MGM and NL Central Odds Brewers at plus one oh five,
and then you get to the long shots of the
Cardinals at fifty to one, the Reds at sixty six
to one, and the Pirates just burn your money. So

(06:34):
all of that had to say we also should define
nurfy for those.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
That are no runs for sinning. Oh, it's the most
exciting bet and sports. It's exhilarating. And I know the
first touchdown bets have been really fun for a lot
of people, but the first inning bets are fantastic. I
wouldn't go crazy with these because you know, the ball
could hit a pebble and go in the center field
and you lose. There's no time horizon to make up
the bet. Like if it's you know, even the first

(07:01):
touchdown bet, you might have a long drive and it
doesn't result in a touchdown, So I think they're fun
little I'll call them amplifiers to your.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Evening nuggets along the way, No question about keeping an
eye Major League Baseball. We'll get a little more from
Los Angeles a little bit later on as the Dodgers
and Twins get after it full slate.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
There you've got WNBA action.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mentioned the Euro twenty twenty five, another chaotic end
to that game. As we get ready for the well,
they're in the Semis and the final will be Sunday
England and the Team of Destiny. It would appear with
another late comeback on a suspect penalty that was called
with about two minutes remaining in extra time, a save

(07:46):
on the PK, but rebound and a score, and there
it is. There's your women's soccer. I know a bunch
of you are really mad at me right now. I
grab the entire sporting world and I hug it. You
don't like it, go watch, but listen to us, because
we'll make you smarter along the way, having fun with
you as we just get started. For over forty years,
tire racks helping customers find the right tires for how,

(08:07):
what and where they drive ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tirerac dot com, the way tire buying
should be. We're having fun right now with the wonderful
world of college football, Jared, as we look at media
days for all the commissioners and everybody having their speaking

(08:30):
points put out there, and as we expected Tony Petiti,
your new head of the Big Ten, he did exactly
what you would expect talking about automatic qualifiers. We're the
big bad bullies of the block. We deserve our four.
You don't like it, we don't care. I mean went
full Road Warriors to tie it back to the Ozzy
Osbourne Open as Ironman used to be the open for

(08:52):
the Road Warriors and they run in and just starting
al out of people. That's kind of what we're looking
at with Petiti and company for the Big Ten, trying
to show their clout and keep this pushing forward to
the Big Ten and SEC kind of ruling the world.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, and listen, I think everyone that is absorbing these
headlines over the next couple of weeks. Right, you had
the SEC stuff with Sankie and I got a tdat
how awesome is it that it's in Vegas?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
So I'm watching.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Reporters walk through the man like casino by slot machines
and crap stables, and then they're talking to college football athletes.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
It's the new world order, right, It's awesome. I love it.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
I mean, listen, this is I'm convinced.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
I read a lot of like, you know, the universe
type stuff, like we're in this cosmic void. Like it
kind of makes sense when you look at the state
of some of the sports world topics we talk about.
But you're gonna hear a lot of headlines and a
lot of it is just to get your attention. Because
it's July. We don't get a lot of access to
these teams. We get canned soundbites from the coaches and

(09:55):
the team captains that show up, and the commissioners get
a chance to put on their suit tie and go
in front of the national audience and and you know,
go down their soapbox. And the writers are bored because
we haven't had games in months, and they want something
to write about that's gonna grab your headline. You know,
it's gonna grab your attention. This college football playoff has
so many more iterations to legislate through that. Whatever Tony

(10:18):
Batiti says in July twenty twenty five is probably gonna
be irrelevant in July twenty six.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
So I'm trying not to overreact to the.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Formats and the different agendas that these guys are pushing.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
I just want to sit back.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Observe, let the process play out, and when we get
word on what is actually happening, then I'll have an
opinion on it.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, all of it. It's it's Jared. It's wait five minutes,
and the college landscape change.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
One hundred percent right here, and it's gonna keep and
the goalposts are gonna keep getting.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Moved, right whether we keep getting more legislation that actually
gets into play with congressional intervention versus like I was watching,
Northwestern was a late cumber to the nil world. Today
they sunset the short lived process.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
That they had.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
We've watched, you know, the change as to how you
try to administrate things, the craziness of the Deloitte formula.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Plank and I talked.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
About it a little bit last night, of trying to
figure out what fair market value is and how inane
that process will be to enforce.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
The city is the question that I cannot wrap my
head around.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
But you know what I mean, it's city to city
and you can say, well, don't put together a formula.
It's like you and I, you know, as we go
through and you try to navigate, and you try to
put you know, some fuzzy math together for rankings of
a game, of a player of fantasy projections whatever, you're
trying to figure out how big that coefficient is. And
here it's that same measure of all right, how many

(11:45):
X is a handshake meet and greet photo op in
Los Angeles versus insert small town, Mississippi, right or city
and everything else. So so trying to really get your
arms around that is a yeoman's task and really foolhardy
and a lot of a lot of prospects. But I

(12:06):
suppose you do have to have some rules in place.
Otherwise what you're really just doing is setting it up
to where everything goes back below ground, like it's been
swallowed up at the end of a horror movie. It's like, yeah,
that went away for now, and and you know, we
go back to the original handshake agreements and you know,
five dollars, you know, one hundred dollars handshakes, thousand dollars

(12:27):
handshakes in this case seven hundred thousand dollars tucked in
between the seats of a luxury car.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
What's crazy to they're paying them with PayPal now, Like
I mean, just like the way it's being done, it's
almost like it's like its own it's morphed into its
own entity that I don't think even the people who
created it a few years ago and really kind of
pushed it off the edge really believe that it was
going to take off in the way that it did.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
And now it's more about.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
How do we control how do we figure out the
toothpaste is of the two, How do we figure out
a way to keep it from you know, evaporating, you know,
and just completely overtaking the landscape before there's really no like,
there's no law and order with this.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
It's crazy. It really is the wild West. And maybe
they're gonna start to rain it in, but I don't know.
It's gonna be tough.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, that's the thing, right, you started out with his
wide open spaces, and now you're trying to bit by
bit build defences and bring it back in just you know,
for the twenty twenty five tax year. IRS has returned
the original form ten ninety nine K reporting threshold back
to twenty thousand dollars from the five thousand it was
last year. There you go for two hundred transactions for

(13:38):
goods and services paid through platforms like TurboTax, c net
and PayPal, and that's one to grow on. So don't
exceed the twenty thousand there, Jared is what they're saying
at Jared Smith Betts is where you find him in
the Twitter verse.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
Find me over at Swallowen Home.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
We're just getting warmed up tributes to Ozzy Osbourne over
the course of the night, his ties to the sporting universe,
which you've out a little bit as we go. We're
underway in Los Angeles with the Dodgers and the Twins.
We'll keep an eye on that as well as the
rest of the slate of Major League Baseball. But coming
up next, the dance continues in Big d as we

(14:14):
get things reporting to Oxnard. Well, Jerry Jones had his say, Well,

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day

Speaker 5 (14:55):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 7 (14:56):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.

Speaker 8 (14:59):
And that's that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yeah, you blubber list Jam and me.

Speaker 7 (15:13):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Readings, and welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith
Show with Me Mike Harmon, No Jason Smith Tonight out
the rest of the week in his place Jared Smith
at Jared Smith Bets is where you find him for
all his latest You hear him Saturday mornings on Countdown
with the crew, getting you ready as we h we're pacing.
I mean, are you starting to get your paces in

(16:17):
for college football?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Here?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
I mean, how do you navigate that? How many TVs?
How many monitors are?

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Man, it is tough. Mike. I think the Saturdays in
the fall, I think that's.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
The because Sundays it's a little.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
More contained there's never more than ten games going on
at once those early windows on Saturdays, like right after
we get done with the show at noon Eastern and
then it's right it like it's because you know you're
on that high from doing three hours of radio leading
up to the game.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Sure, and then five minutes later there's kickoff.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah, it's it's probably that's peak anxiety for me, and
I try to clear my plate so I don't have
any life stuff going on in that window. It's gonna
be harder this year because I'm actually coach twelve year
old football and they play their bas on Saturdays. But
it actually might be a nice distraction because it's like
you go from the show and then I'll coach, and

(17:08):
then I'll come back and I'll kind of digest, and
then really the evening games are really the premier games.
But it's a tough that that that is a really
headtick window, those early windows on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
So a head coach position coach I played.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
I played quarterback in high school and then I was
a video assistant.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
My first one of my first jobs out of college
was in college athletics at FAU, and I actually did
some work under Howard Schellenberger, like, I would break down
film and report back to him on stuff that other
teams were doing. And it was like the media relations department,
So I would package it and put it out there
and you know, press releases. And it was kind of
the the beginnings of my football love really like outside

(17:47):
of playing. And then I came across some people here
that I worked with that were involved with the twelve
ye Bishop Gorman program here and that, and you know,
they were exchanging stories and you know, next thing I know,
in the spring, I'm there on the field coach in
one of their quarterbacks, trying to you know, work on
his you know, footwork and mechanics. And now I'm doing
almost like the dining play.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
It's it's fun. It's really fun.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Now you got him running the triple option and we'll
go from there.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
No, he's a passer, he's a passor. We got some
good receivers too, so I get to have some fun.
I get to bring in some plays and some you know,
concepts that I like at the college level and bring
it down a Ham and try to teach.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
It to them. And it's been fun. It's very nerve.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
If you ever coach kids they're very nourishing. It's like
it fills my cup up for sure.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
That's all it is. Mine.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Mine is chasing my daughter inner soccer pursuits. Hey, No
coaching except you know, on those one on ones some life.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Coaching though, right, I think coaching is just being a
good dad too, Right, I'm sure that's part of it.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
No, I add value every once in a while.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Plus, ev move right.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
Exactly, Your next success could begin sooner than you think.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
At University of Maryland Global Campus, undergraduate and most graduate
classes start on August thirteenth. Apply now and save and
no application fee. Learn more at UMGC dot E du Well. Yes,
y to day we did the owners getting a little
bit wild out in the streets with Jerry Jones and
Mike Brown having their say. Well today as the Cowboys

(19:09):
fully descended upon Oxnard and everybody's smiling and getting in
front of the cameras well, the players said as Samuel Jackson,
Samuel L. Jackson said, so brilliantly all those years ago. Well,
allow me to retort. So Micah Parsons wanted to talk
about well many things, Jerry Jones specifically, but more nebulously

(19:30):
the status of his contract negotiations relative to the other
star players across the NFL.

Speaker 9 (19:37):
And Michael, how would you characterize how close you are
into getting something done?

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Okay, man, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
We'll see you see how long things take to.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
Thok you'out discouraged to be discouraged by the fact that
it's taking this long. Honestly, Yeah, when you go around
the league and you see these other teams taking care
of their best guys, I see TJ got taking care
of you know, Max got taken care of, Miles got
taken care of him. He got two years left on
his deal. So it's hard to Yeah, you see a
lot of paper around legal and taking care of you

(20:11):
didn't know. Wish you had something like, you know, that
same type of energy for you know, it's.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
Hard to not take it personally.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
I wouldn't say it's hard not to take a personally
when you know how there's a.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Winners and you know it's any.

Speaker 9 (20:24):
Chain of events, if something consistently happening over the course
of years, when you kind of see it before through
other players and things, so you don't take that person.
You don't take a person when you're like, all right,
this year It's not like I'm getting treated differently than
anyone else, you know, So I don't take a person
I just I just don't understand.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
So there's Michael Parsons.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Trevon Diggs was there with him, kind of nodding and
approval in the video clip as you see it. And
that's really the last part. Is is the key component
to us all. Michael Parsons knows this is the way
Jerry Jones operates, So why not get in front of
a microphone and and be the dance partner in dragging

(21:02):
this out as long as it takes before they finally
put pen to paper, Right, Jerry Jones with all that, hey,
he co get hit by a bus tomorrow, versus Micah
Parsons saying, well, all these other guys get taken care
of and their teams do it.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
But this is the long standing dance. Jerry eventually pays
his guys.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
Right.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
We've seen the evidence year after year. So this is
just being a good dance partner and picking up the slack.
When maybe you guy, you know, a dance marathon, you
get a little bit tired, you lean your head on
my shoulder and I'll carry you for a while.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Until you get your second win.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah, it's such an intriguing setup, like like the corporate structure,
and when I do so, one of the first things
I do Mike every off season is I update my
front office grid and I update all the you know,
general manager, head coach, offensive coordinator, offensive play callers. Sometimes
they're different depending Sometimes the head coach calls the plays,
like in Kansas City and then defensive coordinator. They'd all

(22:00):
five columns and I put next to the column what
year they are in their job.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
It sounds familiar, I may have a similar grid.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
It's and what it does is it just helps reset
the system. It helps me realize, all right, these are
teams that are going through massive changes and are gonna
have all these different things happening. And you know, going
through a coaching change, general manager. Like there's a couple
of teams Jets, Raiders that are cleaned house completely GM,
head coach, oc DC.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Everything new. That's the case in Dallas.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
New head coach and even though he's you know, a
higher from within, still a new head coach in his
first time as a head coach, new offensive coordinator, new
new play caller. To an extent, right, it's a different role. Schotneimer,
I think is gonna still call the plays, but Clayton
Adams is the officially the OC, so we'll see how.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
That dynamic works.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
And then they bring in Matt Everflus to be the
defensive coordinator. Well, there's one constant in all of this,
and it's Jerry Jones and the number next to Jerry's name,
which is his thirty sixth year as the general manager.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
Of the team.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
For perspective, there are very few people that make it
the double digits, sure, and the people on those lists
are very successful drum managers, you know, like the John Schneiders.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
You know, the Duke Tobins.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
We can get to his team in a minute and
less needs with the Rams, I think is the one
that really comes to mind that's been there a while,
that's a really successful round that has a very unique style.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
I don't know what the heck Jerry's doing, Mike. I mean,
he's been there forever. There are people, many people.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Alive on this earth that were not alive when he
took that job over, and I think he's kind of
lost touch with this process.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Again, most of the players on.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
His team were not alive when he took the job,
So there's been so many changes in his quotes about like, yeah,
I don't talk to the players. I talk to people
who talk to the players, Like Jerry, what are you doing?
Call Michael Parsons, pick up the phone and call him.
I bet he would appreciate hearing from you. Like, it's
just it's kind of like this archaic CEO structure that
they're running in Dallas, and I just don't think it

(23:59):
vibes well with the younger athletes, and I think it
is very much disconnected.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
And I think that's why the Cowboys are kind.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Of run like this weird, twisted disotopian corporation with Jerry
sitting at the at the head of the table.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, it's funny because you go all the way back
to we we love to bring in movies, TV wherever
we can, songs, and we go back to Jerry McGuire,
what's one of the famous and games of it all?

Speaker 6 (24:21):
It's like, why don't we have a relationship like that?

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Right, when when you're looking at it's like, now you
got the awkward hug thing with jmore trying to make
that hat see rights as Tidwell and and McGuire are
doing the big hug after after the big game, knowing
that they're about to rake Glenn Fry rest in pees
over the coals.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
You're gonna pay yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
But it's that thing, it's that personal relationship, yeah, and
wanting to know where you stand, right, it's not just
the cold business that it It might have been many
years ago, and in some ways it is. And we're
talking about that from the college angle of how odd
and shifting that is, because those relationships that used to
be multi year now have to be rebooted seemingly every

(25:08):
six months. Am I still the guy? Am I still okay?
You still want to be here? And everything else? And
you're selling and recruiting those guys every minute now because
of nil and the potential of changing out for a
better offer, so seamlessly, as opposed to many years past
where it was, hey, you got to sit your ass
down for a year if you want to do this.

(25:29):
So you know, it's a much bigger decision and a
different animal. Whereas with the NFL, you know, players are
used to from day one, folks coming and making that
initial contact and being more involved and being a bit
more savvy to it all because of the access that
you have via the the Internet, their peers and folks.

(25:50):
Reaching back down, there's not that divide between NFL players
collegiate athletes down into high school. We see far more interaction,
I think, and perhaps maybe it's just the ability to
actually see it as we do versus you know, assumptions
of years past, but it seems that those conversations are

(26:14):
had far more seamlessly, so people have the the players
have more of an awareness of what's going on. Not all,
but certainly those that are at the top of the
class being recruited to this level as a as a
collegiate athlete, and then certainly once you're in the NFL
and you're supposed to be in that next strata of

(26:34):
players that you have a position of power clout to
where you're at the table as opposed to having someone
sit there for you.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, and to be fair, like a lot of these kids,
then even Michael Parsons is still a kid. Sure, event
you know, these kids, they who they surround themselves with
matters a lot. We're seeing this with Shamar Stewart right now,
which is a totally different example of ownership and player
representatives being on such opposite pages that it's it's doing
more harm than good just existing. But the thing with

(27:05):
Dallas that makes it so unique is he's also the owner,
and that's why he needs to be very a careful
but also be a little bit more like what role
are you playing? Like when you reach out to like
let's say he called Micah, are you calling Micah as
the GM or as the owner? Those two conversations go

(27:25):
very differently, Like, for example, I bet the conversation that
Kirk Cousins had with Arthur Blank was very different than
the one he had with Terry Fonno, you know, when
they were benching him and moving on from him. It's
just because I think there's more of a familial relationship
with an owner than with a GM. Sure, but Jerry
has to play both roles, and he's doing so at
the highest of levels for millions of dollars, and I

(27:50):
think there's a disconnect with which role he's playing at
which time and how he's communicating to his players. I
was dumbfounded when he said, I haven't talked to Micah.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
He's the best player on your team.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Now, maybe he was flying, or maybe he just wasn't
telling you, you know, we know, we got confused or
I think it was Shotenneimer got confused.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
But how many games might have missed?

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Which sure?

Speaker 5 (28:09):
Another thing?

Speaker 4 (28:10):
That's another thing that was like a huge red flag, Like,
how are you saying he's missed more games than he's
actually missed? Like what it like that's like misinformation?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Well, no, he's counting two games where he thought he
gave him a poor effort.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Those are notions, but he said he missed but he
did like that. Like again, I think what he's doing
is he's trying to.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Devalue his best player.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well sure, yeah, which I don't like that approach, not publicly,
not that's not an approach you take publicly. Yeah I'm
not a GM, but I wouldn't have said that pubblic No.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
But that's but that's the difference between Jerry and everybody else, Right,
what is winning constante Jerry? It's do I have more
headline inches in newspapers and blogs? And am I being
talked about on sports radio and television. That's as much
as actually winning a game, it seems anymore.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Now that made That's that's the root of the problem
right there, I think.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
But that's the thing, right, and when you're making money
hand over fist, and everybody can look around the league
and say you're and and let's call it what it is.
Without Jerry Jones, there's not football in LA there's not
football in Las Vegas.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
So and he.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Knows that right. So that's that's part of the win.
As much as trying to go for another Super Bowl.
It's look at the twenty three billion dollar business that
I'm one of the key pivotal straws that stirs the drink.
So the rest of it, you know, everybody should listen
to me, including the players, and acquiesced to what I want.
So when I take side swipes at Micah Parsons and

(29:36):
then say I signed a bad deal for dak Uh
that that, you know, everybody just asks to say, well, yeah, no,
we haven't won, so he's right.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Did you see the JJ Watt tweet?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah that was good. No, yeah, we did that a
little bit last year. Yeah, well you know that that's.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Was he then like, like, was Jerry the owner of
the GM In that conversation, it sounded more like the GM.
But then you got to give call your guy and
say hey, you're worth this money and we and we
love you and that's the owner talking like it's this
weird schizophrenia that he has to play.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
But that's the beauty of it.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Eventually, Micah Parsons and his agents and his managers, they
know eventually Jerry's gonna sign the big check.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
So it's just waited out.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
You have to take the slings and arrows and whatever
buffoonery he's going to say on a microphone, that's a
good word for it, right, Retweet and like JJ Watts
post as Michaeh Parsons did, say what you need to
in front and you know cause you can get your
barbs out too. Jerry will take the slings and arrows.
Why because it gives him more ammunition for his.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
Next media appearance.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
And we play this dance until it comes signing time,
which we know is inevitable. He's Jared Smith And for
Jason Smith, here the Jason Smith Show with Mike Arvin,

Speaker 6 (37:23):
The way tire buying should. Be, Well Kurt signetti, decided.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Well you know, What i'm gonna throw my name into the.
Mix indiana making their futures. Schedules they're void of any
non league games Against power four opponents save for a
thirty thirty one home and home series With Notre. Dame
responding to, criticisms, quote we picked up an extra home,
game and we play nine conference, games so gets all

(37:52):
the way. Through it does all the fuzzy, math and
it just said, quote so we figured we just adopt
THE sec scheduling. Philosophy some people don't like. It i'm
more focused in on those nine conference, games talking about
how you soften the, preseason as it, were the non
conference schedule for. You and that's the math going, forward

(38:14):
whether you want the automatic qualifying bid or one of
those at, large whether it becomes five and eleven or
the four automatic qualifiers from The big ten AND. Sec
as they start getting into their political posturing and money
grabs and trying to figure out how to divide that, Pie,
jared the coaches are going to stand up and, say,
look we need to make sure we give ourselves the

(38:36):
best path. Forward and, unfortunately as, fans we're going to
lose out on some of those premier. MATCHUPS i know
it's been a big talking point here In Los angeles
of the idea that PERHAPS usc And Notre dame won't
play much beyond the current scheduled, games and that you,
know the long standing rivalry and traditions could go. Away

(38:58):
but like so much of college, sports that seems to
be the norm as opposed to the.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Aberration, YEAH i, think and it's specifically On. Indiana i'm
very excited to see What mendoza can do this. Year
they're an intriguing. TEAM i think The Big ten is
very interesting this year With Penn, state like it's not
your Typical Ohio, State michigan and everyone else kind of.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Conference both of the major.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
CONFERENCES i THINK sec And Big ten are wide open
and to your point just about the control of the.
Money this is a big year for THE. SEC i,
mean they haven't won a championship in two. Years The
Big tens dominated the, championship you, know. PLAYOFF i know
that S he's got a lot of teams, in but
they haven't had the success that The Big ten's had
over the last two.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
Years AND i don't really.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Think, like who is the dominant team in THE sec this?
YEAR i honestly don't think there is. One So i'm
fascinated to see how both of those conferences kind of
evolve because the landscapes evolving, dramatically and those conferences are
obviously at the top of. It BUT i think there's
still a lot of evolution that those, two especially THE
sec that hasn't won in two, years needs to.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Experience looking at a big ten odds off BET, mgm
now these are a couple of days, old but it
was The Ohio state slightly ahead Of Penn. State and
then you Have Oregon MICHIGAN Usc indiana at thirty five to,
one the sixth favorite within the. Conference right now my
Beloved Northwestern wildcats.

Speaker 6 (40:26):
Five hundred to.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
One there you, go, hey your next success can begin
sooner than you. Think at A university Of Maryland Global,
Campus undergraduate and most graduate classes Start august. Thirteenth apply
now and save with no application. Fee learn more AT

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Lines it's our, Buddy John Paul, MOROSI Mlb, network longtime
insider and friend of the. Show At John morosi On
twitter At joen leave out the h Because mom said,
so at J On mrs HI, jp my good, friend
how are you this?

Speaker 11 (42:02):
Evening bike And JARED i am, outstanding my. Friends we
are nearing that one week mark away from the trade,
deadline one of my favorite weeks of the, year and
we've got The hall Of fame coming up this. Weekend
i'll be there In cooper'stown covering that induction. Ceremony, so my,
FRIENDS i am in a great mood this.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Evening.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Fantastic good to have you with, us so much to
celebrate and get ready for the. Speeches always bring it.
In then we get those video montages of all the legends.
Together cooperstown very special place to be this time of,
year no question about. It but as we're talking here
From Los, Angeles Justin, frosberg our executive, producer wearing A
dodger cap in the, studio thinking about Big Red Dustin,

(42:44):
may taking photos after his one hundred pitch performance and
relief the SHOW A toni last.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
Night what does he.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Bring in the trade? Market is that A jared durand.
Move what are we talking?

Speaker 5 (42:55):
Here?

Speaker 11 (42:56):
Good good. QUESTION i Think may is a very interesting
player to talk. About and here's why he occupies a
spot on The dodger pitching staff that they can probably improve.
Upon and yet his fit with another team is somewhat

(43:17):
difficult to find because he's on an expiring contract And
i'm not convinced that he is going to be good
enough to start games for another team in the. Playoffs
But i'm going to give you one team THAT i
think does make some sense For Dustin may in a,
trade and that would be The Blue. Jays and here's

(43:38):
why The Blue jays want to add people who can
start but do not necessarily have to, start because they
have an Aging max ers or in their Rotation Eric,
lauer someone who has not really always been a two
hundred inning type pitcher logging some serious workload right now for.

(44:00):
Them and SO i do Think may would fit The
j's because he would give them some insurance If surezer
gets hurt and he can pitch out of the bullpen up,
Needed he can pitch out of the rotation if. Needed
BUT i think that's a bit of a softer landing
right now then the current role that he's got with The.
Dodgers AND i do believe The dodgers they are looking
for upgrades all the way, around BUT i would actually say,

(44:23):
this the most important part they could probably upgrade at the,
moment you'd have to say is their, bullpen a lot of.
Injuries now The Tanner Scott news that the irony is
that actually the team they're playing right now At Dodgers,
stadium The Minnesota. Twins they've got some bullpen pieces they
can move because it looks like they're going to be

(44:43):
sellers at the deadline this. Year SO i always love
it when the teams all get together because it wouldn't
surprise me if Maybe Andrew freeman is talking To Derek
falvey's counterpart there with The twins about potentially taking a
look at someone Like Johann duran would really help The dodger.
Bullpen Griffin jacks also potest to someone Like. Varlin so

(45:05):
there are some good names that let's see what we're
gonna get a trade happening between The dodger And twins
before they leap down this? Week how about?

Speaker 4 (45:11):
THAT, Jp what where do you draw the line of
teams that are buyers and sellers because we have this
expanded playoff and there's more gray. Area like you mentioned The,
twins they're only four back of a wildcard, spot The
guardians a couple games back of a wildcard. Spot like
these are teams that are talked about as, sellers but

(45:32):
they're obviously higher up in the standings than your typical sellers.
Are is there this like curve that we're grading buyers
and sellers.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
On now because of the way that the playoff has, Expanded.

Speaker 11 (45:42):
Well you're hitting on a really key and important part
of the way that this deadline is being viewed by, Executives,
jared which is that it's not clear at all where
that line. Is and and part of, this and this
is Something Jed, hoyer The cubs president Of Baseball, operations
said over the. Weekend the teams are going to have
to get, creative and that's because they're not fitting in

(46:06):
this binary sorting of buyer, seller where you might be
a buyer and a. SELLER i think that to put
a finer point on the question that you. Ask The
rangers are certainly. Buyers they are a game and a half.
Back they're a big market, team and they're in a
situation where they have, TO i, think keep going for.

(46:30):
It they've played, Better they've Got jacob De, ground they've
Got Adi, valdi they won The World series two years.
Ago they're going to go for. IT i actually think
the team ahead of, them with The, rays they might
do a little bit of buy and. Sell maybe they
look to trade someone like A Zach lettel who's in
an expiring, contract and so The padres are another team

(46:51):
that nominally are in. It but it wouldn't surprise me
if they end up moving a lateening leverage, reliever someone
Like Robert swatt As Jason adam or then you look
at their, rotation someone like potentially A dylan. Ce SO
i look at, This, jared AS i know you know
hoops as. Well it's almost like it may have the

(47:11):
feel of AN nba trade. Deadline we're more need for
need and swapping contracts here and, there being mindful of
where teams are with respect to the luxury tax. THRESHOLD
i think we're gonna have one of those deadlines where you're,
right May Jared, Duran maybe that's an interesting. Idea there's
a lot of player for, player major leaguer for major

(47:32):
leaguer type, trades even The yankees With Ben, rice is
there a team that really values him and would put
him in the field every single? Day and it might
be able to give The yankees a starting, pitcher someone
like potentially The Pittsburgh pirates with A Mitch keller so
there's a lot of different ideas out there THAT i
think trading younger major leaguers has never been a more

(47:54):
plausible path to upgrading your.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Team so when we're looking at the let's stay in
The Al east for a, MINUTE i do a lot
of talking and while talking off the ledge my friends
there In, Baltimore Cedric gallins on the expiring, contract a
lot of young players that have, Underperformed like this is
the first year and for as long AS i can, REMEMBER,
jp you had true expectations for this squad and it's
been an absolute. Disaster how much are they moving away

(48:19):
from some of these players here.

Speaker 11 (48:20):
At the, Deadline, WELL i think they're going to have
to and listen that they've had some there have been
some positive stories with this. Team, interestingly one of their better,
players at least against left handed, pitching has Been Ramon,
loreano who actually he would imagine is probably going to be.
Available he's someone THAT i think has had a very
underrated major league. Career he's got a career seven to sixty.

(48:44):
Ops he's on a short term. Contract HE i think
has a lot of. VALUE i do Think Cedric mullens
could have value, Too But. Mullens his batting average now
is two. Thirteen he's a very versatile, player but he
hasn't really been that effective a plate since maybe the
end Of april Early. MAY i do think that someone

(49:04):
like A ryan O'Hearn could be a possibility for The
orioles in a trade to send him, out maybe some
of their bullpen as, Well but this is a team
that's not going to go for the major, overhaul like
do not look for A Jordan westburg to be out,
There Gunner henderson or A Jackson. Holiday, honestly they probably

(49:24):
should have traded somebody last year to Get Trek scuobel From,
detroit and they didn't do. It SO i think that's
probably the deadline that they're regretting is the way things
played out In july of twenty twenty. Four BUT i
think for right now they have no choice but to
listen and potentially move guys like, O'hearne, Mullins, loreano maybe some,

(49:44):
relievers and then hope that they have a better situation
and a better a better overall approach to the. Season
in twenty.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Twenty, SIX i remember The brewers were in first place
one year and they Traded Josh.

Speaker 5 (49:57):
Hater they're in first place, again.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Yea and although we might not have that tonight because
it looks like they're losing this, game but there's still
time left In chicago. One but they're a first place,
team and they're always kind of straddling the line between
buyers and, sellers probably because of the ownership.

Speaker 5 (50:12):
Group and just the way that their team is. Structured
what do you make of This brewer?

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Story Miss roowski's an, ace but he's only pitching four
innings a, Night and now you get what'd you have coming?

Speaker 5 (50:20):
Back Per.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
ALTA i, mean this is a team that has a
rotation that can win right. Now but it JUST i
don't know where they feel if they're buyers or.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
Sellers, yeah it's a great.

Speaker 11 (50:29):
QUESTION i, mean they're definitely. Buyers it's just a question
of how aggressively they. Buy they might they might go
with some marginal. Upgrades but they're a really good team
as they are right, now as you point, out entering
tonight with the best record in THE. NL i love their,
YOUTH i love the way they play the, game a
lot of. ENERGY i think that maybe adding one more outfield,

(50:52):
bat or maybe a righty bat to kind of give
them a little bit of balance out there to help
yellows take a day off year and. There BUT i
JUST i love their athleticism and the pitching has gotten
some medlines because Of. Mizerowski Chad patrick as a, rookie
has has pitched really. Well peralta has had a pretty

(51:12):
solid season. Two their bullpen is almost always one of
the better bullpens in, baseball even though the names change
there quite. Frequently BUT i just like the way that
their their youth has performed And Jackson curio is now
able to bat a little higher in the. Lineup they
do Miss South freelick right now out with, injury but

(51:33):
their their bottom half bottom the bottom half of the.
Lineup they don't necessarily get tons of thump from that
part of the. Lineup but they've got really good baseball
players there who who can play small ball when it's.
Needed and this is a team that that when you
overperform by this, Amount, yes you could certainly say, that,
yeah let's add in someone like a like A ryan

(51:54):
O'Hearn from From baltimore and may be a bad in,
general but the chemistry of this group is so good
and their Manager Pat murphy is so excellent reading his
guys THAT i would be very reluctant to change out
too many, guys especially in the everyday, club because they
seem to be relying on each other and helping each

(52:16):
other perform at the highest level to where this does
not feel like it's a team that needs to shake.
UP i don't think they're gonna be making a deal
going out like With Josh hater that type of a
move with this, group BUT i do think they. Might
they might add by just not subtracting in that sense
and just letting this young group with guys Like terrang

(52:38):
And freelock once he's, healthy just keep growing into being
one of the better young groups of players in all of.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Baseball John Paul morosi our Guest Major LEAGUE Mlb network
with us Here Jason Smiths shaw With Mike Harma Jared
smith in For jason here On Fox Sports. Radio would
be remiss IF i didn't note that this was the
latest The brewers were in first place since the heart r.
V wallbangers squad of nineteen eighty.

Speaker 6 (53:02):
Two, Wow so there you about. That so there's your random.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Knowledge let's stay in division because you, Know i'm a
White sox apologist And cubs, Hater so it's kind of
fun to See Andrew vaughan become the lucky charm there
for The brewers as, well with what he's been doing
since he couldn't hit for The White, sox finding new
les on life there with The. Brewers but The, Cubs
jared AND i were talking a little bit earlier on
AT jp an imperfect pitching, staff what did they? Do

(53:30):
can they go find that arm at the? Deadline are
there enough arms to go around for?

Speaker 11 (53:34):
NEED i think there? Are and there are some controllable,
guys whether It's Mitch keller With, pittsburgh maybe even A
Mackenzie gore With. WASHINGTON i don't think That Jill ryan's going,
anywhere but he's a name to. Watch so there are
those those controllable. Guys Sanduel contada you had mentioned as
well with The, Marlins Edward cabrera is another name to.

(53:54):
Watch and then on the opposite side of, things the
rental Guys Seth. Lugo who's the pitch tomorrow At. Wrigley
my favorite, Theory mike is that The cubs decide they
don't want to have to Face lugo tomorrow and just
trade for him before the game starts, instead and then
maybe he even pitches for The. CUBS i, mean, hey
we Saw Rich hill start a game for The royals

(54:16):
tonight At. Wrigley SO i think that we're just going
to keep going for, more more and more historic things
that might. Happen so let's let's have a seth lugo
trade between those two teams who were at the, stadium
happening all in real. Time but there are enough of
the rental pipes WHO i think would make an. IMPACT
i look at The diamondbacks as being a really good,

(54:38):
fit whether It's Zach, Gallon Merrill. Kelly there are some
guys who are out, there AND i KNOW i referenced
Earlier Zach lettel with The. Rays there's more rental starters
and more short term starters in general WHO i think
are out there and good. Options Adrian hauser with The White,
sox you talked about him. Before there are guys out

(55:00):
there WHERE i think there's plenty of pitching to go.
AROUND i do believe the prices will come, down And
i'm a firm believer we're going to have one of
our more aggressive and active trade deadlines that we've had
in a long. Time as we get Towards july thirty
and thirty, one so keep keep refreshing those THOSE x
feeds and keep watching. Them will be network because we've

(55:20):
got a lot of a lot of moves to sort
through here in the next week.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
To, come plenty of moves to sort, through and certainly
the pageantry and pomp and circumstance that Is, cooperstown our
Guy John Paul morosi will be there for all of.
It it's just too bad we don't Have Dave parker
And Dick allen to speak for themselves this.

Speaker 11 (55:35):
Week, yes, no you're, right And i'm glad you mentioned
both of, them because it's our goal with our coverage
to make sure that certainly and the two who are
going in posthumously In Dick allen And Dave, parker we
got to make sure that we give them in their
careers equal time and let them really let their families
have their moment right and their teammates and appreciate. It

(55:57):
SO i know The pirates are going to be there
in full wars For Dave parker and sort of The
reds will have a presence there, Too i'm. Sure and
then With Dick, allen The phillies and The White, sox
the organizations he did so much, for and the A
phillies have really taken the leadership role of retiring his
number before he passed away and really understanding the impact

(56:18):
Of Dick. Allen i'm actually reading his memoir right. Now
just a fascinating person on so many, levels and it's
our honor to be able to tell that story this,
weekend and one.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Of the greatest sports illustrated covers of all. Time as
he's juggling baseballs and smoking a cigarette while wearing a
resplendent Red White.

Speaker 11 (56:34):
Sox he is the epitome of cool and always will be.
There there is just NO i, mean some of the
quotes in that, BOOK i will not repeat them on the,
air but they are they with. You so that's ALL
i can say IS i would recommend you pick up
a copy and then give it a. Read That the
book is Entitled, Crash so The Dick Allen memoir and

Weekend i'm sure we'll make a lot more sense once
