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

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday, the Jason Smith Show with
my bes friend Mike Harmon. For over forty years, Tyrack's

(00:55):
should be. Well, it's not often I get a text
right before we go on the air, right because people know, hey,
show starting, let's let's not text you. Well, I mean
you got to be in your zone, you know, like
a caged animal ready to be unleashed.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Upon the globe for these four hours. I'm still a
little bit of an old schooler.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, well right when that happens, you know, I'm not
Adam Schefter where I'm gonna be.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
I'm just showing you I'm a jerk.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm on the set typing on my phone because I
can't go eight seconds because I'm gonna break news every
nine seconds, but generally okay, you.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Know, good fun. Why did that immediately make him jump
to being a jerk, because you look.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It looks like when he's on TV, like everybody else
is doing it important.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, times, yes, no one knows I'm on television. I
can't do it. Yes, I'm not going to break a.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Story like That's just ridiculous, especially when he says stuff like, oh,
sometimes my wife's going, oh you know what. I'm sure
everybody's significant others like to text them, but they're on
the air doing something important. But oh okay, but my dad,
don't forget milk. I want my dad right before we
go on and I go. I know exactly what the
hell he wants to go. He says, Hey, if you
have a power outage in Sherman Oaks tonight, it's because

(02:01):
all the powers in Tampa.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Oh boy.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The Yankees after a rain delay in the top of
the first inning against Tampa Bay, go back to back
to back with home runs. They have already hit four
home runs on the day. Judge, Bellinger and Stanton go
back to back to back in the first inning. This
is my dad's greatest day of the year. Like, there's

(02:26):
other things that could happen like that, but this is
his great God could come down and say, hey, I'm
gonna fix your your shoulder so there's no more arthritis
in it. Lets you play around of golf. No, my dad, no,
give me back to back to back home runs in
the top of the first inning. All things right with
the world, if only for a moment. Look, it's been
one hundred degrees every day in the greater Tampa area

(02:47):
for a while, so the extra power probably needed. I
think that grid's been overworked with people in their their
air conditioners. But yeah, the power supply at at nauseum.
Did I talk about the Yankees. We we were talking
before the show. Otani home run one hundred and sixteen
miles an hour exit velocity. He was only plus one hundred,

(03:10):
so a fifty to fifty proposition, and then Schwarber.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Says, yeah, take that I got one too.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, you know, listen, Rob Mafford's coming around in the
fact that, Okay, we could talk about realignment and we
could talk about adding playoff teams, and we can talk
about you know, expansion, but okay, everybody likes home runs.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Let's make sure we have more home runs. What else
do we need? We need guys to hit down.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Make sure the Schwarber noe I'm gonna steal from Steve
des Sager, from Sarah Langs the great fifteen straight series
that Schwarber's homer at least once, Yeah, tying Sammy Sos
for second all time. Mark McGuire in nineteen ninety six
did it in twenty straight series.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Think about that. That's the event for McGuire. Set the
home run right.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Right two years Yeah, I mean ninety six to and
then ninety eight Sammy was ridiculous. But yeah, a lot
of activity on the I'm in the White Sox blowing
a lead.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
So I'm doing everything I can to.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Channel it into positivity for other teams and players and
for your dad.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Sure, so have the Tuesday, Walt, because my dad needs
the positivity. Because we talked earlier in the day, things
not so rosy for the Yankees as it is now
because apparently you know, as you sent me the text
earlier today, bold strategy.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Let's see if it works out.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Uh, there seems to be a disconnect between Aaron Judge
and Aaron Boone, So Judge and Boone or I don't know,
but that sounds like a really successful country music duo
Judge and Boone. I'm going to see judging boom or
Boone and Judge. We'll be better Judge and Boone. Yeah,
Judging Boone, well, we just call him Judge Boone. To
see judging Boone go to, we just called him Judge boone.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
That's what.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Judge and book go to. Judge of Boone concert. Like,
I feel like they should be doing the boot scoot
and boogie, Judge and Boone doing the boot scoot and boogie.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Call it up hitting home Run's gotten the.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Boot scooting boogie Judge him just show flinger around the bases.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
I like that. Yeah, I really like that dance that
they do.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
What's the one where you I don't know what it's called,
where you hold your belt buckle and you just like
kick and you keep your your your body is straight
and you kick your feet out to the side, Like,
I don't know what that dance is called, but that's
incredibly difficult to do.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, it's a lighter variation of running in place.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Okay, all right? Uh so Judge and Boone uh not
on the same page. Look, if you have any doubt
that Aaron Boone is circling the drain as Yankee manager.
So since Aaron Judge's injury, he's been designated hitter for
the Yankees.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
And of course, yah.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Look, Judges is a is a plus outfielder, he's a
plus center fielder. I mean when he's not, you know,
taking his eye off the ball because Key k Hernandez
is a second base Oh sorry, is it too soon?

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Is it too soon for that?

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Is that what they're commemorating Key k Hernandez bobble head Day?
When he comes back to the team next week? Yeah,
you see the big love and the ball drop. Uh
So when is Judge gonna get back in and playing.
Aaron Boone did an interview and he said, you know,
I don't know if if his arm is gonna get
back to where it is because of his injury, and
you know, is he gonna have an eighty arm which
is the the baseball term for a plus arm. H

(06:09):
and you is he gonna get back to where he's at? Well,
I don't know that's what's gonna happen. And Aaron Judge
took real umbrage, like complete total dolorous umbrage with Aaron
Boone saying I don't know if his arm is gonna
be the same this year. Like it seemed to me
a big overreaction because basically, what Aaron Boone is trying

(06:30):
to say, look, yeah, I don't know is he gonna
be the same he's coming off an injury. Is he
gonna be the same when he goes back out there
in the outfield? That that that's not something that is
that seems to me that there's a red flag.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
That's not something that seems to me like, hey, he
meant something bad by it.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
But Aaron Judge turned it into something by saying, I
don't know why he would say that. You know, I'm
getting ready to go back out there. So all of
a sudden, Aaron Judge turned this into a thing by saying,
I don't know why Aaron Boone would say that. And
so of course Aaron Boone had to do an interview
and say.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Whoa, whoa wa. That's not what I meant. Whoa whoa wa.
I'm not upsetting our best player. I'm not upsetting the
guy that's gonna win the MVP of the American Like
whoa whoa whoa listen doing, Gabriel. We know what you meant.
I'm an entertainer when I do these interviews. Okay, I
don't mean Aaron can't throw. I'm an entertainer.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
If this doesn't tell you that Aaron Boone is circling
the days till the end of the season until there's
a change of manager, nothing else does because Judge and
the rest of the Yankees and everybody else, they're all
sick of the same narrative, which is the Yankees play
like little leaguers. Right, what did Clint Frazer say? They
do too much stuff and mess blank up and they
don't fundamentally they're not a good team. And this wears

(07:38):
on you right when you were when you were when
you're a professional baseball player and you get told you
stake well, that comes to the territory when you get
told you guys are bad fundamentally, you can't make plays,
You're like little leaguers. That is something that sticks through,
and that's that's something that players go, Okay, yes we
have to have pride in what we do. But when
if we're not playing good fundamentally, it always goes back
to if you're not good fundamentally, it's because you're not

(08:00):
being taught the right way to be fundamental. Now, granted,
what's the manager responsible for in modern day of making
sure fundamentally a team is good. Yeah, obviously they're the
magic a charge of things. But it's a little bit
less cause it's baseball. You should know, Hey, this is
where I'm going to cut off. This is what's here.
This is what's here. But it's about accountability. It's about
holding team to a standard. It's about not letting a

(08:21):
storyline fester. And this Yankees little leaguer story festered since
the fifth inning of Game five of the World Series
last year and that has not gone away. And you
can tell just by Aaron Judge, because this is this
is pretty innocuous of Aaron Boone saying, hey, you know,
I hope he's back.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
We don't want to hurt him.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
This is this is basically Aaron Boone just saying, hey,
we want to make sure we protect him. We're hoping
his arm is still as good as it is the
short term because he's had the injury. And Aaron Judge,
I don't know why he would say that, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This tells you how harmonious things are in Yankee Land.
And as I said, if the Yankees we're getting we're
getting middle of August now and to August. Yankees are
starting to win again now, so it seems like it's okay.

(08:59):
But if they fall a couple of games out of
the what they will get rid of Aaron Boone. And
no matter what you look at the end of this year,
it is not trending well. This will be Aaron Boone's
final year. The roars for him are just so much
around the team and the fact that this will be
eight plus years now without a World Series, and the
fact that things aren't getting better and the team seems

(09:21):
to be tuning him out, and because there's no fundamental improvement. Yeah,
this is this. Enjoy watching Aaron Boone manage the Yankees.
This is the last year you're gonna get.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
To do it.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean, the Judge error in the World Series was
the icing got on the cake because we'd watched it
all year long. It's what we're talking about a lot
when we talk about the Dodgers this year, right, the margins,
the ti Oscar Hernandez yesterday. And you can argue about
positioning and outfield positioning, but you know there are plays
you make, and as a professional outfielder, you gotta be

(09:51):
able to make those. The manager and the coaching staff
they try to position as best you can, so they
take some of the blame, but in the end, the
onus is on you to go and make plays. But
you also have to be smart in front of a microphone.
I reference Dylan Gabriel just from the Okay, he may
not have meant it, but if you open that door,
guess what a collective media is going to run through.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Particularly in New York where you're already on the.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Edge, right, Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, they don't have
a lot of margin when they go and make public
statements about anything that might be on the line, particularly
if it involves Aaron Judge like that takes it to
a whole other place. Now you're going after the guy
who is the face of your franchise. Loath these many
years on his end route to another MVP award him

(10:37):
and cal Raley. I mean he dwarfs him in all
categories except Homer and RBI, So there really shouldn't be
an issue, but as we know, it becomes a hey,
what's a better story kind of thing? But all of it,
you know, Judge eventually, you know, made some clarification points
about where he's at, getting out to one hundred and
fifty feet, feeling better, so hoping to get back out there.

(10:59):
But now either he nor Boone would have put in
time tamble on it. So even when they put their
feet to the fire, neither one of them was gonna
give you any specificity. Most of it should have been
handled behind closed doors. But you know, if you're Aaron Boone,
you're grasping at straws, and to some degree you're gonna
be looking for excuses as to why things may not
be going as swimmingly as you want.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Well, Aaron, Aaron can't get right, man.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
It's a nice excuse, right because you got another DH
because what else you got?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
You got a guy in stand that you can't do
anything but dhing.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, Look it's so, I mean, what are you going
to alternated bats for those guys. Yeah, he's my DH
innings one, three, five seven.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I mean, look of all the big drama in baseball
the past couple weeks with the trade deadline and teams
that have taken off from the trade deadline, teams that stunk,
teams that stunk it. Now potentially you're back up the
Dodgers with a big win this weekend over at big
sweep over the Padres. Looks like they're gonna beat the
Rocky tonight, but still some time left to go. The
saga of the Yankees falling and treading water and there

(11:57):
they are just trying to they're that they're that the
character in the movie that says, look, I'm just trying
to make it day to day, right, that's the movie
or TV character that you know, just making it to
the end of the day and getting to go to
bed and coming up the next day Like we are.
It's all I can do just to make it to
the next day. And that's kind of what the Yankees are.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's all they can do just to keep it going
from day to day. With the season has been full
of disappointments and bad play and questions about your manager
and your moves of the deadline, and your now your
star player seems to be at odds with your manager,
like it is every single day, and it's just enough.
Let me just get through today and what about two weeks? No, no, no,

(12:37):
just we got today and then I'll worry about tomorrow.
That's the Yankees.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
We look go series to series, game to game. What
are we getting out of our pitching staff? Which is
a whole other area of concern as you flow through,
as most teams are at this point. There's not a
lot of continuity consistency across the rotations in Major League Baseball,
But certainly when you look at a guy with the
impact of Aaron Jude and trying to figure out how

(13:01):
you get him back out in the outfield again, you know,
you go team to team. You watched as much baseball
as I have. We watch it every night here in
this studio. I mean, how many times are you shaking
your head at fundamentals? We're watching that White Sox Atlanta game.
All right, it was ten to nine, all this stuff.
The Braves load the bases, nobody out. Michael Harris goes
in bunts straight back to the mound. All right, you

(13:25):
get the fours out at home plate, they do a
shot to the Braves dugout. They had to make sure
everybody's back was and you could just watch the animated
heads because if you would mouthed in the words, you.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Would have fcc fins.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Even if you couldn't audimbly hear what they were saying,
they were losing their minds. Now, eventually, a fat curveball
that hangs in the zone ends up getting hit for
a double to right field. So the point is moot
and the Braves ended up taking the lead. But it
was just one of those what are we doing?

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Like?

Speaker 3 (13:54):
I like a bunt as much as anybody. I think
it's an underutilized part of the game. However, there are circumstances,
there are teams, there's down distance whatever.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
We've seen it in the outfield, we see it, you know,
in the infield and making decision which base are you
going to cut off?

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Man?

Speaker 4 (14:12):
As you alluded to earlier, all of these things.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's like it's Major League baseball, and in basketball we
bemoan in the existence of AAU all the time. Do
we do we start blaming travel ball and at nowhere
in the minor leagues. These guys learn these little things,
or managers who have been there eight to ten years
in New York don't know when to shut their damn mouth.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Where do you learn that one? Jason, bring me.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
That exit out about a Fresca exit swollen Dome, The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike carbon So, yeah, Yankee,
looks like things are gonna go well for the Yankees.
Now got early if they've hit four hundred, telling you
the most underrated baseball story, the every day is full
of challenge and a daunting day.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
If this is what the day is going to have
for us. Did your dad have a judge in your
hitting street game today?

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Is that why you're no? No, we tell you had
he had? We had Lindor today, Okay, and I told him,
I said, well Otani in course tomorrow, We're going with
that tomorrow. So now, so now we're back up with
that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Coming up next,

Speaker 4 (21:46):
It comes out with a mallet like Mario and he's
just pounding at me. Here come.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
The birds are jumping up and down, giants shoulder tagle
jump out on top of a vulture.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
It turns into it.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
You close the shell and it goes and knocks everybody over.
Plays a ten year old kid, you get play again.
I'm like, and I actually, are you asking me to
do it?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I said, well, the first one might have been broken,
so I had to go to this one. Okay, I'm like,
this is That's like a sitcom moment where I'm like,
all right, but he was.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
You really did want to play it again?

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Though?

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:14):
I did.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
I did, and and and and I'm not going to
confirm it tonight, but when I was walking to the front,
did I played again?

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah? I did.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
The kid at this point I was hoping that when
he got the card it would still work. I didn't
know if maybe I had used up the number of
button button pushes that it's not going to work. After
that work, well, you can't expect him to hang around
all the time.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
It's like the double Doore. He's busy. Hey, happy birthday. Hey,
was this card supposed to play something good? Damn it?
I had a dog, you know what. I tested it
in the in the in the in CBS, and I
got it. How many times you tested? Like nine?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
And it played every single time. So I didn't play
for you for your birthday. That's my fault.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
But I'll sing it for you.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
So Daniel Jones, as we told you, was going to
win the Annapolis Colts quarterback Derby. He has today Shaneestike
and making the decision that Daniel Jones is his guy,
And a little bit of a wrinkle in it is
that I want him to know he's our guy this season,
all right. He doesn't want to go into every week
going after seventeen straight incompletions in the third quarter.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Was there a thought of going to Anthony at that point?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Uh, not gonna do it, And so much so that
Anthony Richardson's agent said following the decision, today, we have
to take a look and see what his future with
the Colts is because clearly it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Look like there's one, and obviously there's not. When the
guy was taking the top ten of the draft and
he can't win, can't win the quarterback job, and he
can't stay healthy. I'm pretty sure this is a sign
that the Colts are moving on from Anthony Richards.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'll tell you what thought Anthony, that part of the
microphone was fantastic.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Oh yeah, said all the right things.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
So matter of factly, it's like, oh, look, this is
where they're going to want to win. Obviously, room for growth.
All these and goes through, and then eventually the agent
statement comes out talking about trust. Now there's two big
things coming off of this. Number One, I know that
Daniel Jones he has been just taking it in the teeth.

(24:13):
You know, it just kicks to the teeth all day long.
He stinks, Danie Jelle, Daniel Jones will be absolutely fine
this year. I told you the Colts are my long
shot super Bowl pick, like a team that can come
out of nowhere and win because they're just that talented
across the board.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Right.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
They have great running back, they have great weapons at
wide receiver, their offensive line is good. They made improvements
to their defense in the offseason. The division isn't great,
but the Colts clearly have enough and Daniel Jones has
shown at times, Hey, I can flesh. I know how
to run a team like this that's gonna move the
ball down the field with min numbing consistency and we're

(24:50):
gonna get in the end zone.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Not that somebody.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
The Colts are gonna be a thirty five point team.
But the Colts need somebody that they can trust. And
that's the biggest thing at quarterback. You gotta have somebody
you can trust. And the Colts saying we can't trust
you want to talk about trust being a word from
Richardson's agent. They can't trust that Richardson is gonna be
consistent enough. We'll move the ball enough, won't turn the
ball over enough, right, because a guy hasn't played enough football.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
And so it's.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Easy to see that this is why Daniel Jones is
the quarterback. And he's going to be fine. Look, he's efficient.
He's gonna the old John Facende line from all the
NFL films, Bob greasy, like the chauffeur of a large limousine,
content to let the parts do the driving. Daniel Jones
will let the parts do the driving. He'll scramble for
when he needs to. Now and again, he'll throw the

(25:35):
football downfield now and again, he'll be one out of
every twelve passes will be a fifty yard at Alec Pierce.
But this is a offense that he is meant to handle.
They will be absolutely fine with him. Their preseason offense
is vanilla. It's all good, right. This is gonna be
a team that will surprise you with how efficient their
offense is. And it's not like Danny Dimes is suddenly
gonna be thrown for three to fifty a week. But

(25:57):
this offense will be mind numbingly efficient. They will move
the football. Daniel Jones is their quarterback, and by the
time we get to week three, week four, we're gonna say, boy,
they really made the right call with Daniel Jones over
Anthony Richardson just comes down to you know, there was
a lot of discussion of the well, it's obvious they're tanking.
I saw that a number of times, like, well, if
they were tanking, then wouldn't you put the guy that's

(26:18):
been erratic, that's asked out of games, that has struggled.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
And look, it's.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Well documented how few snaps Anthony Richardson's taken between his
time in college and all the way through. I mean,
we're not talking about a guy with a ton of snaps,
a lot of throws and opportunity. He also asked out
of a game. I don't know that you ever get
past that one in the locker room. You gotta win
guys over again after that, and then coming back into camp,

(26:45):
if it's a you know, Ty goes to the runner.
In theory, it should be your first round pick. But
you bring in Daniel Jones, who had a little bit
of success in the past. Injuries derailed some things. Obviously,
the Giants haven't exactly been the model of consistency here
the last couple of years. But you go into a
situation Stiken perhaps a little bit on the hot seat,

(27:06):
needing to show that he can win some games as
opposed to Hey, we're trying to grow again with Richardson,
and yeah, for his agent, I understand it's year three, right,
We're at the point where for a lot of guys
we're talking, depending on the team of hey, we're looking
forward to the extension. Well, clearly with Anthony Richardson, you're
a no man's land in that regard. It's a clear
and obvious no. If you were to have to put

(27:29):
pen to paper today. But for Daniel Jones, with that
offense and all the things you outlined there, with Jonathan
Taylor in the backfield, you've got enough weapons in that
division be at least competitive. Houston's not running away and hiding.
Jacksonville's a wish and a prayer, all right, Trevor Lawrence
looks the part and out of central casting. But is
it ever gonna work?

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
And then obviously Tennessee cam Ward, we've heard a lot
in camp. You've talked about it last week. Folks can
go find the podcast the quietest number one draft pick
ever and which is great for him.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Just go to work. You don't have to worry about it.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
But all that to say, for Indianapolis, they're one hundred
to one to win the Super Bowl, so you can
go get your long odds and have fun with it.
But winning the division is certainly not out of the question.
If Daniel Jones is just adequate, if he plays above
average with the number of weapons, Now you don't have
an A lister, no, but you don't have a top
guy like they're all third fourth wide receivers. When we

(28:26):
look at it for fantasy purposes, but you drafted a
tight end who's going to be a beast right off
the jump. You might be your target leader. Got a
good running back, good old line, not the line of
five years ago. But all of that to say, Daniel Jones,
if he doesn't throw up on himself, you're playing meaningful
football in December. Yeah, it's an easy choice, right, And

(28:46):
to show you that the fact that this quarterback competition
was quote close, like you see all the people that
have that have been chronicling this for Indianapolis Star and
the insiders that hey, Richardson's had a good camp, right,
It's not like Richardson's been terrible and there's no choice.
The fact that Richardson had a good camp and still

(29:07):
the Colts said, Danny Dimes is our guy. I mean,
the fact tells you. It tells you exactly what they
think that I don't know that this wasn't something that
the only way Richardson could have won this job was
to be absolutely lights out way better than Daniel Jones.
That's the only way he's winning is to show us
that he's mastering everything at this point in his NFL career,
and when it was just good enough, it's Okay, we

(29:29):
can trust Daniel Jones, we still can't trust Anthony Richardson and.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
A roof for the guy.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
I mean, obviously the opt out I'm tired thing was
a tough look, but otherwise it's the guy we saw
flash when he was at Florida and it's like, all right,
this could work. Let's wish and hope. But you can't
force a guy with that few of starts. Like the
stats bear out time and time again that this just

(29:53):
doesn't go from A to B that fast, telling you
reason why the Colts are my long shots?

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Can j boll picked Danny Dimes?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Time not to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. So someone who's been called the Anthony
Richardson of Fox Sports Radio, Okay, because a few weeks
ago he said, hey, I'm tired, I'm asking out of
this update.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
We let him go home. It's Steve de Sega, and.

Speaker 8 (30:16):
My asient is going to get a hold of you
and say, I'm not sure what kind of a future
we have here. That Yankee game that you referenced earlier
in the hour, Aaron Judge did hit his fourth fortieth homer,
but after a rain delay, at the start at Tampa Bay.
It is now six two Yanks at the Rays bottom
of the third. Yankees hit three straight homers in the
top of the first, Judged, then Bellinger, then Stan. They

(30:38):
got a two run shot from somebody else in the
lineup the next inning. Jazz Chisholm was now homered. Yes,
that's five in three innings for New York at the
Spring training Stadium, which by the way, is the Yankee
spring training Field Tampa, Florida, where they're playing tonight. The
Cubs are leading the second of a doubleheader against the
Brewers for to one, top of the ninth, going for
a sweep because they already beat Milwaukee today six to four.

(31:01):
They made up a rainout from a couple of months
ago during this series, so this is a five game series.
Kyle Tucker not playing for the Cubs, getting a few
games off. He's betted one ninety five since the start
of July.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Saint Louis won.

Speaker 8 (31:14):
At Miami seven to four attend and seven thy six twelve.
Detroit had a great pitcher's duel against Houston. Trek schouble
against Hunter Brown in ten innings. The Tigers took it
one nothing on a basis loaded walk, no decision for Schooble.
He had ten strikeouts in seven innings. Philadelphia got Kyle
Schwarber's forty fourth homer of the year and beat Seattle

(31:34):
six to four. J T Rail moved to a two
run shot bottom of the eighth for the lead. The
Mets won eight one at Washington, winning pitcher David Peterson
ten strikeouts in eight innings. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez went
on the injured list with a spring thumb.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Hey, ask me how many times David Peterson has pitched
into the eighth inning this year?

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Ask me, go ahead, how many times is this guy
pitched into this five? Ask me how many times any
other Mets pitcher is pitching into the eighth inns, not
including Ron Darling Zeroun.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
And then there's a White Sox game.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
Yeah wow, let it Atlanta ten to four after six innings,
Braves eleven ten.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
The final.

Speaker 8 (32:15):
It was the A's winning six to three at Minnesota.
The Royals have won five in a row. They won
five to two over Texas Blue Jays, a seven to
three winner in their game at Pittsburgh, and that was
Smax Scherzer, by the way, getting the Wing going six
innings which just one run allowed. Also in progress, We've
got the Reds ahead of the Angels three to one

(32:36):
in the bottom of the fourth. The Reds were just
a game out of the last NL wildcard spot behind
the Mets to start the day. The Dodger shohe o Tanius.
It is forty fourth home run. The Dodger lead eight
to four. At Colorado. The game is in the top
of the seventh Padres and Giants are tied one to
one in the top of the fourth inning, and it
looks like the Cubs game is final four to one.

(32:58):
The Cubs do sweep Milwaukee. The Colts named Daniel Jones
as their starting quarterback for the season. The Saints are
due to name their starter after Saturday's exhibition finale, either
Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shuck. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Archie Manning. He's talking again. You never know.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
Yeah, what was that guy Brooks from thirty years ago?
He had some Brooks Yes, exactly, Yeah, bring him up back,
sure Brooks.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Bobby Abar, Yeah, Brooks was here.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
I'm guessing Brooks is in about the same shape as
Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Currently, so there may be.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
And TJ clearly Brooks is now done as a quarterback.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
The Rams could use Albert Brooks at the at the
time being a thing. Stafford did practice again despite the
bad back. They're not saying so much about his future,
but at least he's been on the field. Browns quarterback
Kenny Pickett took part in team drills after a hamstring injury.
Forty nine Ers backup QB Mac Jones is out this
week with a sprain knee. So quarterback Nate Sudfield was
signed by San Francisco and among the five WNBA games Tonight,

(33:57):
New York at home beat Minnesota eighty five seventy five
Minnesota team that had been twenty eight and five. Sabrina
Ynescu had a late four point play. She finished five
of eighteen shooting from the floor for seventeen points eleven assists.

but we will acknowledge and debate. That's next Jason and
Mike Fox.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Time out for the play of the Day,
Play Today, brought to you by ty iraq dot com.
Over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find the

He is the way tire buying should be. Well, believe
it or not, what we're doing is we.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Are going to be talking about something that celebrated its
fifth anniversary today and it's one of the big Internet memes,
sayings that people have been trotting out ever since this happened,
because it was five years ago today. Then Red's broadcaster
Tom Brenneman got caught in a hot mic saying something

(35:39):
that you can't say on television.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
He got in a lot of trouble. It became a
big deal.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I remember us talking about it throughout the night and
wasn't sure if he was going to be able to stay.
I couldn't believe he was still broadcasting the game in
the third, fourth, and fifth inning. And then finally the
controversy became such a big deal in the Reds realized, Oh,
this guy just had a real bad homophobic slur, and
and why are we letting him continue to work.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
They told him, you have to leave the game.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
So as Tom Brenneman tried to apologize for what he
said and let everybody know that he is leaving the
broadcast booth, he let slip this which has lived in
infamy for the past five years.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
I pride myself and think of myself as a man
of faith. As there's a drive in a deep left
field by Castianos, it will be a home run, and
so that'll make it a four to nothing ball game.
I don't know if I would be putting on this
headset again, but.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
I want to let you know Castianos with a deep
drive to love. It's become such a punchline. And look,
obviously Brennanman lost his job, lost his job with Fox
is he did a lot to try to make his
way back and see simply it took him a long time.
But the last couple of years been doing college football
for the CWU. Nick Castianos has had a great career

(36:58):
and I read today was really weird seeing all the
different times he is homeward at really somber moments where
people have been saying so like people just saying things somberly,
like real serious moments. The casti Aanol's home run hits
a home run. But this whole thing from Brenneman right like,
like the the topic was one thing, but then this
attempted apology in which he you know, he wants a

(37:21):
play by play guy, always a play by play guy.
I mean, staring the end of his career in the face.
He decided, oh, got to make sure people know the
Costiano's hits a home run, right like, wow, dude, I
get that, that's what you default to.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
And it was a difficult situation.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Everything is flying, but to not have the presence of
mind to go, hey, this is the most important thing here.
Someone will tell you if someone hits a home run,
I will I will apologize it. But the fact that
he goes on and he says, here's a deep drudge
left by Costiana's. It became a punchline, and Tom Brenneman
became a punchline, and.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
You know so much so that if he doesn't say that.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
If he gives a big apology, right, he gives a
big apology for what he said, and it was you
know and listen, and obviously he goes away, he'll lose it.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
He would lose his gigs. But after disappearing for a
while and doing the right things to try to make
your way back, which he did, he would have resurfaced
a lot soon like he was doing like high school baseball,
I think, for a while and is trying to get
back in. But that became such a punchline, and and
that whole deep drive by Costiano's that held him back.

(38:28):
And if he had just given a straight apology, it
would have been, Okay, well, dude, you said this, you're
gonna lose your job.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
You're gonna show us that you've made a mistake, and
then you'll be able to get back in and do it.
Because the guy was a great broadcaster. Had that not happened,
had he not been the deep drive to left thing.
He gets back in quicker because he's shown that Liz
I did the wrong. He met with a lot of
LGBTQ community that everybody that has been interviewed in the
last five years that he's don't done so much work
to try to get back in in the and and

(38:55):
learn and and and be a better person. That would
have been it would have been a faster moved for him.
But that thing, because it became such a comedic element
that people put in their tweets all the time. Still
in a serious moment, say a deep drive left by
costians like that held him back from getting back faster
and to a higher level of broadcast. So you think
about the pantheon of those kind of moments in broadcasting,

(39:17):
what do we have The boom goes the Dynamite guy, right,
the dead pant like that was the thing for a while,
and Boom goes to Dynamo cartoons, you name it. It showed
up everywhere, and then this from Brenneman became the ubiquitous.
All right, how do we take an awkward moment? Okay,
that's the meme. Yeah, and it lived and circulated. Right,

(39:38):
if it's just the apology fade, the black inning ends,
or even just finished the apology, put the bow on it,
and then say, all right, to catch you up what
you've seen, what you've heard here we go would have
been done, but you're in broadcaster mode still. You know,
the red lights on and you're I mean, I grew

(39:59):
up on guys that their whole bit, right, Harry Carey
in the middle of telling you and spinning a yarn. Oh,
there's a bouncing ball the second base and then he
gets the out and you go right back to telling
the story. I mean, that's so trained and learned that,
and I mean that's the unfortunate part for Brenneman is
that in that moment it was be at your most

(40:22):
vulnerable and human in acknowledging the error, but your brain
is still telling you. Until they take that headset off
of you, you're doing the job. And yes, it made
it for a much longer and more circuitous route. He
was doing some morning radio in addition to those games
on the CW where he actually had a guy named
Castillanis that he had.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
To call it?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
No, you know that was that was Syracuse Boston College. Yeah,
that was Syrius Boston College on the CW. Last year,
where he says, and the quarterback for Boston College, they
will be Costeano's how about that?

Speaker 4 (40:54):
Like, oh okay, now we're throwing.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Now we're throwing a little fun thing at this when
Thomas and the thing is, I think Amos Castiano's got
hurt in the middle of the game and a backup
came in and beat Syracuse.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
It was awful. Thanks for that, man, Uh, Floyd, what
I did for you? Dan telling everybody roll on, here
we go go cues.

Speaker 9 (41:10):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
So, you know he was at that he was at
that point, but had that not become that meme and
that nut stayed in everybody's in everybody's consciousness. He gets
back faster, you know. Okay, this didn't just go away.
This has always stayed kind the top of mind because
of it, always lived on the internet. Still does yep

Joining us now, I'm a hot lot for all the
big NFL news. We got quarterback Derby's being solved. We
have Dallas cowboy divorces being debated. It is longtime NFL insider.
Check him out on the thirty third team. He is
a Hall of Very Good voter. It is Jason Cole.
What's happening, man?

Speaker 5 (42:42):
It was all of fame last week.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
You get one week. Now it's back to the Hall
of Very Good. So how it goes?

Speaker 4 (42:51):
You got a week. I gave you a week. He's
on a proven thing, I think is what he's doing.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Yeah, no, it well it was remember my name, A.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
You're gonna start singing like Ringo Star, what's my name?

Speaker 4 (43:08):
DJing? Clearly, I'm going to live forever. I'm going to
learn how to fly high like Jason Cole.

Speaker 5 (43:15):
DJ exactly right. So what what somebody that's not flying high?
Anthony Richardson? Oh I was.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
I was going to say Archie Manning. But okay, we
can do Anthony Richardson first.

Speaker 9 (43:28):
That's fine, Okay, not shocking, Like this is like one
of the most this along with Trey Lance where is
these were two really incredibly predictable falls, right because because
this didn't make a lot of throws in college. I mean,
he's Anthony Richardson through three hundred ninety three passes, my

(43:48):
favorite in college, and he's throwing like three fifty in approach.
He's started less passes than Baton Mannings in his first
three years at Tennessee, so like he just never learned
to play the position. But my favorite part of this.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Is when the agent goes, I really don't know about
the trust. What does that mean? I feel like.

Speaker 10 (44:10):
Your guy lost the job. You can trust that they
don't think he's as good as the other guy. You
can trust that there's nothing destroyed about it. It's the
verdict is like he's not good enough, and now you've
got to figure out a way to make him good
enough so that he can maybe play somewhere down the line,
maybe with the Colts, because look, they mentioned him for

(44:33):
for Daniel Jones. You don't think the job's going to open.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
Up somewhere down the line, no matter what chance Stikeen is.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Saying someplace else.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
You know this is Daniel. This is Daniel Jones. We're
talking about, like he terrible, So.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
You put some respect on Danny.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
I really thought he would go down the Hey, he
can't stay healthy.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
No, come on, man, terrible tired over Daniel Jones.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
Come on your look, you're as you try to justify
Daniel Jones as a possible starter in this league. You
can't keep the straight face.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
I think you want to be fine.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I think he'll be fine with that this offense is loaded.
I think he's gonna be fine. I think he's gonna
move the team up and down the field. Think he's
gonna be okay.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Oh that's such a lie.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
No, I think it's gonna be okay, I really do.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
This is just this is just oh I'm radio guy.
I'm gonna the opposite position of this, and I'm gonna
sell it like I really believe it. You believe me,
you're saying moment, it's just you're just playing an anchor
man right now where you're trying to throw it out
like you really believe would you think? But you don't
you know it? You watched it. I watched it terrible.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
I've seen I've seen Dan. I've seen Daniel Jones play
somewhat well in the right and vine.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Wow. Look, I'm not saying he's.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Great seeing him play somewhat, but he's in a five minutes.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
He's in a opportunity to succeed. Now, he's got great
weapons all around him on offense. Right, he's not in
a great division. I can see the Cults being fine
this year. Not that he's gonna suddenly win a passing
Titler throw for three fifty a week, but can I
see him getting the team up and down the field.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
Sure, you're saying nine and eight, maybe they sneak their
way into winning the division because the division is so bad. Right,
this is the argument that we're trying to make.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
I've already brought you around to my side. I've already
brought you around to my side.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
There, and like you said, now this is me doing
the playing this app playing out the string of this.
Let's go to Baltimore for the first playoff game and
see how that goes.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Oh, I don't care about the playoffs. He just wants
to get through the division.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
He's just going, hey, I just have to take down
in Tennessee Trevor Lawrence and watch whether Houston can get
it right. That's all he's trying to argue here. He's
not saying there's a super Bowl at one hundred to one.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
You kid me, playoffs? Playoff? You kidding me?

Speaker 10 (46:59):
Playoffs.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
This is such a wistful thinking for the cult. Oh
my god, the answer for the look Anthony Richardson. I
feel really bad for the kid in a lot of
ways because he should have stayed in college. He should
have you know, everything that could go wrong. Did go

(47:23):
run the COVID year he got injured in high school.
He's a really, really nice kid, and he's a very
bright kid too, but he hasn't had a chance to
just play. And you can't learn that job at this level.
It's like it's like throwing a kid who's just started

(47:43):
trigonometry into calculus too. It's just not fair and it's
just it's ridiculous the level difference between what he's capable
of doing right now and what he's being asked to do.
It's just impossible, all right.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
So let's go from that can't win, can't can't make
it work to another situation that seems to be we're
drawing towards the witching hour here. Is Michael Parsons going
to get his divorce from Jerry Jones? Are commer Head's
going to prevail or is this just going to linger?

Speaker 5 (48:19):
Yeah? Well, I will say the comments coming out of
Adam Schefter were interesting today because they re encounter to
how this typically goes to the cowboys and they like
the drama right up to the end, and then they're
playing out now maybe just maybe this is a full
part of the drama and they're playing enough even more,

(48:39):
and so Jerry's really trying to amp up the drama. Man.
I have such a the look on Micham Parsons, like
that video of him today just sitting there in the
corner of the end zone in the chair, like the
I don't know it came out today but I saw
it today. I was like, wow, let's look, that's that's

(49:03):
the look of a guy who's like, get me out
of here, and get me out of here now, Like
I don't want any part of this. I'm done, I'm tired.
I'm out like Vominos with shout Joe like get me.
You know, even the side of cowboy Bees. I will
run through an entire five of cowboy Bees to get

(49:25):
out of this place. That's what right now?

Speaker 3 (49:29):
Or is it just the sadness that he's not out
there able to just run reakavocate.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
Sure, yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Well the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
That's another one. Sell that one to yourself, radio boy.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
You know, I know that. I know that.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Jerry Jones always hey, listen, this is the art of
the deal. And Parsons was told by other players, hey,
let Jerry win the battle in the in the press
and you'll get paid. But eventually you're going to run
into a player that says no. And you know, Dak
was fine with it, and Ezekiel Elliott was fine with it,
and Ce was fine with it, and Michael Parses is like, no,
I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
I'm not going to do it and and he's going
to get and Jerry Jones and go, oh man, I'm
going to lose this one, and he's going to have
to trade the best defensive player in the NFL. And
the Patriots yesterday said, hey, we got draft picks, we
got all kinds of money.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Yeah, hey, we can make a big trade. If you
want to call us, Jerry.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
Well, we'll we'll we'll push all in. Yeah, there is
one this I would say that this one's a little
bit different because of the way Jerry publicly played the
negotiation part of it on the you know, the handshake
agreement and all that, because that's that made Mica look

(50:41):
like he had done something wrong when really Jerry had
done something wrong. He did and he did something that's
really kind of maliciously wrong. And I've said this on
the show, like they should have been doctor third round
pick already if the if the NFLPA had and he
he you know better than you know, Prusty the clown

(51:05):
running the show, right, Okay, Right, So if they had
anything better than that, they might have filed a grievance
against the Cowboys and cost him a pick because he
openly said that he talked to the player directly rather
than talking to the agent and has maintained at that.
And that's that's taking advantage of the player and putting

(51:26):
in him in a position where it looks like he
broke his word. So that's where this one went a
little further than you know, the classic one that was
dez Ezekiel, Sean Lee, Dak Prescott, you know, Ceedee Lamb.
Those It was just you know, it was a game
out front like, oh, well we're going to pay you know,
I holding the line until he am here. This is

(51:48):
what I'm going to do. And yeah, me and my
negotiating skills. Mean while you're crossing yourself more money every
year because you waited for the last minute.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
So I thought of the Elliot one, Ja Cole was
him like he was red and shawsh ain't going to
meet uh, you know Tim Robbins while he's working on
the boat and that's where he found Zeke and was
able to hash out a deal.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
He thought it was like that that we were getting
reunited on the beach at the end. Yeah, as it says,
you know, in a loving memory of Alan Greenberg or
whoever that was, Well that.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
Came up after the fact. What are you doing.

Speaker 5 (52:26):
Just just saying that? Was?

Speaker 3 (52:28):
That?

Speaker 5 (52:28):
Was that? I always remember that because it always comes up.
But whenever I see at the end of that movie. Now,
so his random association done.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Warning to you. I've been working on this boat for
a while. Glad you're here, needs you to take over,
all right, Joe Flacco is the elite? How fun is.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Jerry walk Is Jerry walking up on the boat? Or
is Jerry on the boat and he's the Tim Robbins
Garret Jerry?

Speaker 3 (52:53):
Jerry's on the boat. Jerry's on the boat, and it's
a cowboy boat. It's already got the big star on
the side and everything else too.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
In fact, what it is is that it's a two
hundred and fifty million dollar yachts that has gone the
ground and he's working out.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
He thought it was going to be.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Sticking a mile out to see. Basically, okay, all right,
what's next, Let's go.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Last on Cleveland the bashd of Stability. Just like Jerry Jones,
Joe Flacco is your guy. Do they carry four quarterbacks?
It's the weekly update on what's going on in the chaos.

Speaker 5 (53:30):
You know, I thought about an improvement to Smith's avet
about all four will play.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
Yeah, he added the fifth guy.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
You know, it's five now it's Tyler now five because
he's gonna squeak one out like week seventeen.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
But here's what I want to know, Like, who is
the mystery quarterback? Is that we don't know yet who's
going to.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Be It's a sinister six, like a Spider Man villain.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
This is what I'm saying. There's all five of the
guys will play at some point in time, even it
finally doesn't make the team, he's gonna play because they'll
just have him outside the stadium and go, hey, it's
your turns, you know, like gets right there and he'll
be in the interiform and they'll just you know, and
the NFL will say, yeah, cool, you're the Browns. Will

(54:17):
let's you activate a player during the game. And no,
but there's gonna be like another quarterback. There's gonna be
a mystery quarterback.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Brandon branded, he's gonna start Bran Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:29):
Yeah, he already got the gig one. Don't you think
we're like, there's gotta be somebody. There's gotta be somebody else.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
Atto Graham, Well, he wants another name for that jersey.
That's what he's trying to do. He doesn't want to repeat.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Oh okay, so I can't give We can't go with
Brian Okay.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
No, Briana, No, I want like yeah, like, I mean,
I could have said Wyley Tittle, that would have been interesting.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
But Mike, Mike Phipps, Yeah, okay, let's get Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
How about Greg Couch for your history best? Uh you
mean not tem Catch, Tim Couch or Great Couch. Yes,
the Great Couch, who's the game. In the nineteen sixty
nine draft, they took him a number five pick. That's
that's so obscure. It's unbelievable that I can remember that.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Now.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
I'm certainly like Mike White, somebody like that.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
Oh okay, Mike White, sure, sure.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
Yeah, so that's a good that's a good betting. I mean,
Orlowsky could come out of retirement, they can try that.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
No, Mike White.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Mike White is America's interim quarterback. So I think, yeah,
that's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
I like them.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
That's that's a pretty good call. I think he's the
mystery quarterback. I guess it is. The five guys there
currently on roster will play at some point in time
for the Browns, but America who is the Browns mystery
quarterback for this season and now to win prizes.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is
