Speaker 3 (00:29):
Greetings and welcome in another beautiful night here Fox Sports
or 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

(00:53):
in 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 fan 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,

(01:14):
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 (01:24):
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

(01:45):
can literally just go right into it. So no excited
to be here with you, Mike. We've done stuff before.
It's going to be a blast. Four hour should fly
by rook one.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
So much going on, obviously, as we get ready for
the start of training camps, guys disappearing and heading states.
We look at Michaeh. 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

(02:15):
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,

(02:36):
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 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 in

(02:58):
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 where we get
our preview magazines and none of the principals are still

(03:21):
on the team that they're listing with. So all of
that and and then some, and certainly in Major League Baseball.
Steve Desager and I celebrated a bit last night. Rich
Hill forty five years old after against the former team,
looked all right, right, I mean, like it's forty five
on the road it Wrigley against the Cubbies, who are
supposedly good.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
I would say it did pretty well. It's actually the problem.
I like that the supposedly good.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
So let's start there, seeing as I'm a card carrying Southsider.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
As you and I were talking a little bit.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Before the show, you know the World Series Championship that
ESPN refuses to recognize the two thousand and five White Sox.
They they 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

(04:13):
League Baseball trying to find and navigate the beginning of
the second half. We got John paulm 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 Nerfy is one of your favorite ways to go.
Did you find some value today?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, we hit one in Seattle just before we came on. Actually,
cal Rawlely gave one a ride to 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.
But he gave one a ride out the center. But
Misserowski was in. I mean, he's just throwing cheese like
one oh one, you know, the change up the curveballs

(04:50):
like ninety miles an hour.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
He has an unbelievable extension and his velocity's been fantastic.
I mean, I know people didn't like he was 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 Brandon Woodriff coming back from injury. Who's
gonna give them innings and explosive innings at that. I

(05:13):
think their rotation is a little more pieced together with veterans, right,
Matthew Boyd, where's this coming from?

Speaker 6 (05:19):
Show to Imanaga?

Speaker 4 (05:20):
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 Misowski, Woodriff, Peralta, that scarce 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

(05:42):
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 Woodrof coming back from
injury and pitching well, I think is kind of the
cherry on top because he is a legit, intimate, say
on candidate when he's one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
So the Brewers have the momentum right now.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
I think the Cubs kind of need a little bit
of a spark, and maybe facing Richill will help.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
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

(06:32):
all of that had to say we also should define
nurfy for those that are no runs for sinning.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Oh, it's the it's the it's the it's the most
exciting bet in 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.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
There's no time horizon to make up the bet.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Like if it's you know, even the first 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 (07:06):
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. There you've got
WNBA action. I mentioned the Euro twenty twenty five. Another
chaotic end to that game. As we get ready for

(07:27):
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 on the PK, but rebound and a score,
and there it is. There's your women's soccer. I know

(07:48):
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, don't 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,
tireracks helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile

(08:11):
tire installation, tire rack 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
points put out there, and as we expected, Tony Petiti,
your new head of the Big Ten, he did exactly

(08:33):
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
the Road Warriors and they run in and just starting
a lot of people. That's kind of what we're looking

(08:54):
at with Patiti and company for the Big Ten and
trying to show their clout and keep this pushing forward
to the Big Ten and SEC kind of ruling the world.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
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, No, you got pa tdat
How awesome is it?

Speaker 6 (09:15):
That it's in Vegas. So I'm watching.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Reporters walk through the man like casino by slot machines
and crap stables, and then they're talking to college football athletes.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's the new world order, right, It's awesome.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Well, I mean, listen, this is I'm convinced.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
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

(09:52):
the team captains that show up, and the commissioners get
a chance to put on their suit and tie and
go in front of the national audience and you know,
got 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

(10:15):
Batiti says in July twenty twenty five is probably gonna
be irrelevant in July twenty six. So I'm trying not
to overreact to the formats and the different agendas that
these guys are pushing. I just want to sit back, observe,
let the process play out, and when we get word
on what is actually.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Happening, then I'll have an opinion on it.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, we will of it. It's it's Jared. It's wait
five minutes, and the college landscape change.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
One hundred percent right here, and it's gonna keep and
the goalposts are gonna keep getting.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
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 5 (11:02):
That they had.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
We've watched, you know, the change as to how you
try to administrate things, the craziness of the Deloitte formula.
Plank and I talked about it a little bit last night,
of trying to figure out what fair market value is
and how inane that process will be enforce.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
The city is the question that I cannot wrap my
head around.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
But you know what I mean, 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 X is

(11:43):
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 hardy in a lot
of a lot of prospects. But I suppose you do

(12:04):
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 and you know,
five dollars, you know, one hundred dollars handshakes, thousand dollars

(12:25):
handshakes in this case seven hundred thousand dollars tucked in
between the seats of a luxury car.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
What's crazy too, 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.

(12:52):
And now it's more about how do we control how
do we figure the toothpaste is out of the tube,
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 6 (13:07):
It's crazy. It really is the wild West.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
And maybe they're.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
Gonna start to rain it in, but I don't know,
it's gonna be tough.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Well, that's the thing, right, you started out with his
wide open spaces, and now you're trying to, bit by
bit build the fences 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

(13:34):
transactions for 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 5 (13:49):
Find me over at swallowing home.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
We're just getting warmed up tributes to Ozzy Osborne over
the course of the night, his ties to the sporting universe,
which you've laid out a little bit as we go.
We're underway in Los Angeles with the Dodgers and the Twins.
Will 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

(14:11):
get things reporting to Oxnard Well, Jerry Jones had his say, well,
now the player said, allow me to retort.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
We'll do that as we.

But here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over prop 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 5 (15:09):
Yeah, you blubber list Jam and me. Well, you know

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Readings, and Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith
Show with Me Mike Harmon, No Jason Smith Tonight out
the rest of the weekend. 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 were pacing, I mean,
are you starting to get your paces in for college

(16:16):
football here? I mean, how do you navigate that? How
many TVs? How many monitors are that?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Man?

Speaker 6 (16:20):
It is tough. Mike.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I think the Saturdays in the fall, I think that's
the because Sundays it's a little 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 5 (16:42):
Sure, and then five minutes later there's kickoff.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
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 coaching twelve year
old football and they play there with its Saturdays. But
it actually might be a nice distraction because it's like
you go from the show and then I'll coach, and

(17:06):
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
headtic window, those early windows on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
So a head coach position coach I played.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
I played quarterback in.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
High school and then I was a video assistant. 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

(17:42):
the beginnings of my football love, really like out outside
of playing. And then when I came across some people
here that I worked with that were involved with the
twelve youe. 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 out there on the field coach
and one of their quarterbacks trying to you know, work
on his you know, footwork and mechanics.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
And now I'm doing almost like the dining play. It's
it's fun. It's really fun.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Now you got him running the triple option and we'll
go from there.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
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.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Teach it to them. And it's been fun. It's very nerve.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
If you ever coach kids, they're very nourishing. It's like
it fills my cup up for sure.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
That's all it is. Mine.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Mine is chasing my daughter inner soccer pursuits. Hey, No coaching,
except you know, on those one on ones life.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Coaching though, right, I think coaching is just being a
good dad too.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
A right, I'm sure that's part of it.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
No, I add value every once in a while. Plus,
ev move right exactly. Your next success could begin sooner

dot E du. Well, yesterday we did the owners again

(19:00):
a little bit wild out in the streets with Jerry
Jones and Mike Brown having their say. Well today as
the Cowboys 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

(19:21):
Parsons wanted to talk about well many things, Jerry Jones specifically,
but more nebulously, the status of his contract negotiations relative
to the other star players across the NFL.

Speaker 9 (19:35):
Michael, how would you characterize how close you are to
getting something done?

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Okay, man, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
We'll see cold. You see how long things take to thok,
you've discouraged to be discouraged by the fact that it's
taking this long. Honestly.

Speaker 9 (19:53):
Yeah, when you go around the league and you see
these other teams taking care of their best guys, I
see TJ got taken care of, Max, got taken care of, Miles,
got taken care of him.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
He got two years left on his deal.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
So it's hard to Yeah, you see a lot of
player around leave taking care of you. You know, I
wish you had something like, you know, that same type
of energy.

Speaker 6 (20:14):
You know, it's hard to not take it personally.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
I want to say, it's hard not to take a
person when you know how there's a winners and you
know it's any chain of events of something consistently happening
over the course of years. I mean you kind of
see it before through other players and things, so you
don't take that person.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
You don't take a person.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
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 5 (20:38):
So there's Michael Parsons.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
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 nose, this is the way
Jerry Jones operates. So why not get in front of
a microphone and be the dance partner in dragging this

(21:00):
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. But this is the
long standing dance. Jerry eventually pays his guys. Right, We've
seen the evidence year after year. So this is just

(21:24):
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 until
you get your second win.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
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. So I

(21:57):
update all five columns and I put next to the
column what year they are in their job.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
It sounds familiar. I may have a similar grid.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
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, center manager, Like there's a couple
of teams Jets, Raiders that are cleaned house completely GM,
head coach, oc DC, everything new.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
That's the case in Dallas.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
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
that dynamic works. And then they bring in Matt Everflus
to be the defensive coordinator. Well, there's one constant in

(22:49):
all of this, and it's Jerry Jones and the number
next to Jerry's name, which is his thirty sixth year
the general manager of the team. 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 6 (23:08):
You know, the Duke Tobins.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
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 6 (23:20):
I don't know what the heck Jerry's doing, Mike. I mean,
he's been there forever. There are people, many people alive.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
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. Again, most of the players on
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.

(23:49):
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
vibes well with the younger athletes. And I think it
is very much disconnected. And I think that's why the
Cowboys are kind of run like this weird, twisted disotopian
corporation with Jerry sitting at the at the head of
the table.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
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 and games of it all.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
It's like, why don't we have a relationship like that?

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Right, when when you're looking at it's like, now you
got the awkward hug thing with jmore trying to make
that at see right, as 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 apes
over the coals.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
You're gonna pay yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
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

(25:06):
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.

(25:27):
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 Internet, their peers and folks. Reaching

(25:49):
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

(26:12):
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

(26:32):
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 (26:40):
Yeah, and to be fair, like a lot of these kids,
then even.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Michael Parsons is still a kid.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
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 Dallas that makes it so unique is
he's also the owner, and that's that's why he needs

(27:10):
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 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,

(27:31):
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 think there's a disconnect with which role he's
playing at which time and how he's communicating to his players.

(27:54):
I was dumbfounded when he said, I haven't talked to Micah.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
What he's the best player on your team.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
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. But how many
games might have missed?

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Which sure?

Speaker 6 (28:07):
Another thing.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
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 (28:16):
Well, no, he's counting two games where he thought he
gave him a poor effort. 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.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
To devalue his best player.

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

Speaker 3 (28:37):
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 like being
talked about on sports radio and television.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
That's as much as actually winning a game, it seems anymore.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Now that made That's that's the root of the problem
right there, I think.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
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. So and he 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

(29:17):
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 acquiesce to what I want. So
when I take sideswipes at Micah Parsons and then say
I signed a bad deal for dak Uh that that,

(29:38):
you know, everybody just asks to say, well, yeah, no,
we haven't won, so he's right.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
Did you see the JJ Watt tweet?

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah that was good. No, yeah we did that a
little bit last year. Well yeah, well you know that
that's was.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
He then like, like, was Jerry the owner or the
GM in that conversation, it sounded more like the GM.
But then you got a good call your guy and
say hey, you're worth this money and we and we
love you, And that's the owner talking.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Like it's a.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
It's this weird schizophrenia that he has to play, but.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
That's the beauty of it.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Eventually, Micah Parsons and his agents and his managers, they
know eventually Jerry's gonna sign the big check.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
So it's just waited out.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
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 5 (30:33):
Next media appearance.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
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.

my name into the. Mix indiana making their futures. Schedules

(37:33):
they're void of any non league games Against power four
opponents save.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
For a thirty thirty one home and home series With Notre.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Dame responding to, criticisms, quote we picked up an extra
home game and we play nine conference, games so gets
all the way, Through it does all the fuzzy, math
and it just, says, quote so we figured we just
adopt THE secs scheduling.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Philosophy some people don't like.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
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 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.

(38:20):
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
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

(38:43):
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
but like so much of college, sports that seems to
be the norm as opposed to the.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
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 6 (39:20):
Conference both of the major.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
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 ten's dominated the championship. PLAYOFF i know that SC'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 6 (39:42):
Years AND i don't really.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
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.

Speaker 6 (39:57):
It BUT i think there's still.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
A lot of evolution that those, two especially THE sec
that hasn't won in two, years needs to.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
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,
