Tirerac dot com is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, here we are our two and let me just
say this.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No nobody but nobody, but nobody turns two to one
and nobody out into no runs like the Mets.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Nobody nobody does that.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The drop off in the lineup after Alonzo is like
the Mariana Trench. Nobody is it never hitting oh eighty three,
eighty five, one fifteen. It's it's I can't get over it. Oh,
the best line up in baseball. Once you get outside
of the third or fourth there nobody gets base. Yeah,
but they're getting Sono beats out of ground or for
(01:30):
a hit. Alonzo gets hit by a pitch. Guess what,
no runs.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, they're getting to check out that cool place that
the athletics are.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Dude, it's I'm sorry, man, it's embarrassing watching. You know. Look,
obviously we've seen the the.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
A's play here now for a while, and you know,
I'm watching the Mets and the A's right now. It's
on MLB Network. But just like to see the outfield
where fans have blankets down on the grass and they're
sitting like it's like it's.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
A little league.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And that's what it looks like like when you know,
all the parents, some of the parents, Hey, we're gonna
put a blanket down in the outfield and sit out there.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, great, right, And all the.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Kids are in the stands and there, and they're just
watching and and and and running around in the outfield
playing catch, you know, behind the center.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Sure, like it's what.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It looks like like any time anytime you see someone
with a blanket, you know, on a patch of grass
just off of the foul pole.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Like that's embarrassing, man, I mean, come on, it is.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Come on, what was that guy's name? Big Al? And
I hit Dingers to come out and tell me man,
I got Dodgers and Cubs, Big Freddie Freeman. Bobblehead night,
Welcome back Freddie Freeman. The little Charlie threw out the
first pitch they gave out the bobblehead, and they had
to keep putting all sorts of notices out that you
were only forty thousand bibbleheads today. Oh yeah, that so
(02:47):
they only expanded a full capacity for the Otani days,
so you still had to stand in line, and you
had to be there early today.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Information today, you stand in line. Tomorrow maybe not, but
the day you stand alone.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They also put out a notice that they had to
cancel the drone show after the game. I mean that
that that sucks. I want some restitution, man.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Wait, Ruben Drones was gonna put on a show after
the game, and they canceled that.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That would have been a set like go Ducks.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Mis uh so hey speaking of college football, and I
didn't I didn't mean to do that. I mean, I'm
a professional, and that's a great segue, but I did
not mean to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know what, you don't need to pull the curtain
back all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Whiz oh, now you're going with the wrizzler. Now you're
gonna get me some wrizzler.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, I say, I was kind of shortening. Uh, well,
if you guys had kept the winning streak, they were
gonna give him a seat and put a statue up.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Sure, but we lost the game, so yeah, I know,
he doesn't get his Grimace seat like Grimace.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Now the magic is done by the way. You know,
they're the Happy Meal. They're really uh having parties where
folks are going and getting the happy meals like teenagers
trying to get the Grimace minecraft. Oh yeah, character, Yeah,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You gotta have a I mean you gotta have a
Chicken Jockey one out there, right, like, yeah, I mean,
there's got.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
They didn't want put it in. They didn't put it
in the set. But now there's a Lego set. You
can get with it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You have to, like you know what I'm you know
what it's like. Okay, we'll get to the big college
football story in the second. But It's like I remember
when Frozen came out and it was such a hit, right,
Elsa and on everybody wanted Elsa and on a dolls.
They wanted Elsa and on a dresses like that was
my daughter. That was her first one of the first
big movie events of her life. Like el At one
point she said to me before what I chose, Dad, I
(04:32):
wish Elsa was real. I said, oh, I'm so sorry,
Baby Green.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And then you started naming all the ice queens you
knew when you were younger. Yeah, And I said, when
I was on the dating scene, there was this girl
and this Oh look what I just did there? Hate
me at Swollen Dome.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I said, Hey, I understand. I wish she was real too.
I wish the Jets had a quarterback. That's a bigger
issue than else Elsa not being real. But like they
ran out of stuff so quickly because they didn't expect
that kind of demit. They didn't expect to be that
kind of hit, so there was no else and honest
stuff for a long time.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Think about all the ol off stuff. Yeah, right then
baby baby Yoda after that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Baby group was not in Frozen all that. No, no, no,
but I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Just saying, like, in terms of underestimating demand, there've been
a couple of massive failures by these movie studios.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, and it took like a month or like a
couple of months to get stuff, and so, oh, here's
your frozen stuff for the hollids. Right, here's a here's
Elsa's ice castle. Here are the dolls, here's the Elsa dresses.
People were making dresses on Etsy and selling them for
like one hundred and fifty dollars, like it was a
huge thing. Like I feel like that's what Minecraft has done. Dude,
you gotta get Chicken Jockey's rolling Man. Everybody wants some
(05:42):
kind of Chicken Jockey something. My daughter wants to go
see that. She's gonna see it for a third time.
I told you, it's gen Z's rocky horror picture show.
That's the that's where, that's the place Minecraft will occupy
in the pop culture pantheon. Like, she wants to go
see it for a third time this weekend, just so
she could get the Chicken Jockey popcorn bucket.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, but you need on knee bay.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, I'm not going to do that, but I'll let her.
I'll give her twelve dollars to go to the movie.
She can get a popcorn bucket if they haven't.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It was a great video from a guy. It was
I forget which of the theaters it was, but the
guy put up say go say Hi Hi to Steve.
So Steve was one of the you know that's what
he called himself, working the counter and he had prizes.
And the first person that read the note and turned
back around to customer service and went over to him,
(06:34):
he gave them the chicken jockey popcorn bucket. Kid was
just like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And then you had all these folks and they had
the hidden camera and like they're like should we go?
Should we go? And like you'd have a kid start
to walk and would wait for the mob or the
dad to come with them to go ask. And finally
the last two prizes claimed and got down to gift
cards and other buckets and whatever. Were folks that had
to be eighty five if they were a day. It's like,
(07:00):
are you going to see the Minecraft movie? You're like, no,
well here's your gift card anyway, because you can't and
duck to me.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No, I'm getting a chicken jockey popcorn bucket.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
For my nephew Ian. He really likes the Minecraft and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Uh, what I'm waiting for and Pat and penning on this,
what I really want is I'm waiting for the Halloween
costumes because you know, chicken Jockey's be big. But I
want the chicken jockey that you can put on your dog,
where like you put the you put the the the
outfit on your dog and it has the chicken jockey
riding you know, the jockey riding it as it goes
like that's and that's amazing, like that, that's the I
want to I want that from my dog more than
(07:35):
I want anything for anything else right now, I want
I want to see Benny as a.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Chicken jockey, just like you had Benny running around with
a knife like he was Chucky a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, that was great chicken juck all right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
So while that's going on, UH and people are still
going to see Minecraft. Today was an incredible story out
of college football. Right you probably woke up and saw
the Tennessee quarterback. UH is not going to practice because
his n I l deal. He wants to readjust it
and wants to redo it, wants a he wants. He wants,
(08:10):
he wants to redo his contract in the middle of it.
So he's not at practice. He is, he is away
from the team. It's a bit of a shock. But
you've never seen this before, right. We have seen players
threatened want to leave. We've seen players quit.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Un l v's quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Quit last year because he didn't like the uh uh
They promised him more money for the N I L
deal and he and he quit middle of the seasons.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm leaving. I'm going someplace, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But but the first thing I want to say is
this because because this is what I've been waiting for
all day, because this has been this is gonna be
a big build up and release from me. Is you
know how Berman would say this would do this story? Yeah,
now remember you know remember how uh is spelled, right,
Remember how it's spelled and and and this is this
is you can't even get it out. I can't get
(08:56):
I can't because because he would say, and a big
story out of Tennessee, they may lose their starting quarterback
as Nico I need more money or I'm gonna leave
you is going to sit out practice until his NIL
deal gets adjusted.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Boy, that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Can we get that on a training card? They had
that cool set from tops? Can we put that one
in the football?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And I am to leave you if you don't give
me more money? Right, So ayam alava is not a practice.
They're figuring things out right. And you know, two things
off of this, because there's one really big take.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
What is that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I love that there's still the number of people on
social media that are like, college football is still the
last noble sport. There is amateurs for like, come on, man,
just stop because the thing is so many people complain
about nil and the transfer portal.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And I'll tell you what I love, ni l I
love the transfer portal.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I love what it's happened, what this has done to
college football because it is even the playing field across
the country. Look at some of the teams that when
you figure out NIL, you can compete, Right, How are
teams gonna compete with Alabama and Michigan and Texas and
Florida and Miamia. How are you gonna compete with all
(10:17):
these teams? They have everything. But maybe we don't quite
have the NIL figured out. Maybe we don't have the
same number of people that want to donate and help you.
And that evens the playing field because I look at
teams like Syracuse, like Duke, two teams in the ACC
that clearly football wise in the last year figured out nil, right,
(10:40):
because there's no reason why Syracuse should have gotten Kyle McCord.
There's no reason why Hey, as good as great a
recruiter as Fran Brown is at Syracuse, Like, how does
he get all these guys from Alabama and A and
M and Georgia and he flips them? They figured out nil.
Duke has figured out nil. They got two of the
most highly sought after quarterbacks in the portal last two years.
(11:00):
Duke has Manny Diaz has figured out the transfer portal
more than some other schools have. This evens the playing
field so much, And I get this is why a
lot of schools don't like it, and because the big
schools are like.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, we've lost our advantage.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm sorry, Uh, don't you have more resources than anybody
else's Alabama's athletic department, what football brings in, what Auburn
brings in.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
You don't have the money, Tennessee. You don't have the
money for your quarterback. Really, you're trying to figure something out.
You don't have the money. I mean, it's not like
it's not like yellow Layava is great. He's a good quarterback. Right,
he's good. He's not great, but he's good. Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry that that that a school that prints money
in college football is having trouble. That's why I love
the NIL and the transfer portal because this even things
(11:42):
out and it lets teams figure stuff out. Yes, for
the end for college basketball, it's Oh, the Cinderellas aren't
gonna be around anymore because kids get to leave. That's
a good thing for the kids, right, because Hey, if
I'm going to school X that that nobody's.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Really heard of.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But I become that commerce player of the year, guess what,
I get a lot of money to go to Florida
State to play basketball, or to North Carolina or to
Michigan State. Ye, I think that's good for the kid.
I think all this, Hey, I can I can make
this money if I prove that I'm really good. I'm
gonna move through divisions.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I'm gonna go from low one. Am gonna start out
in the MAC. Then I might get to the ACC.
I'll finish in the sec like this is how kids
do it, and it's good for them and it's good
for the sport because now across the board you are
seeing teams that would normally just be dead in the
water where the only way they're ever competing is if
you have a second tier of Division one kind.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Of like you do it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You know, you get regulated in soccer where hey, if
you had two divisions and you had the top division
championship and then the next divient championship, Hey, okay, because
like schools like Syracuse and Duke and the lesser schools
and college Football and Rutgers can compete in that lower
subdivision for a championship, but you're not doing it the
top one with teams like Michigan and Ohio State and
Penn State.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, but now you can, now you can. I love
the NIL.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I love when I see the big, big teams like
this have problems.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I laugh.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I go, man, how you can screw after having the
Golden goose lay eggs.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
For you for years?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
How you can't figure out NIL and the new era
of college football because you think we're gonna do it
better than everybody else. We're not a team that pays
that for players. Other players have to make sure they
want to be here. Yeah, you go ahead and you
keep losing. You see how things are done, and then
you'll hire a young recruiter who comes in and understands
this is the NIL era and I don't have a
(13:28):
great offensive system, I don't have a great defensive system.
But I'll hire the right guys and I will get
the talent in and you watch and see what happens.
I love the NIL in the translporter era.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, either jump in or don't. Right, Like for our
schools Syracuse, Northwestern, Duke and the like, you had the
opportunity if you'd embraced it early. They were a little
late and getting to the party. But now they've come
into the club and they're trying to figure it out.
You have an alumni base that you can activate. Eventually
we get into the revenue share and they're saying, what
(14:01):
cap is gonna be twenty and a half million dollars
or thereabouts. So you have to navigate those waters going forward.
But there'll be a lot of fights as to how
the monies work out. And moving forward, you have title
nine that it's still consideration in the calculations. But guys
that can go into the portal and make their fortune.
(14:23):
How do you begrudge them? Right? We talked about it
from the basketball side. Don McLain on with petros and money.
Here am five to seventy LA Sports are our flagship
in Los Angeles, saying the top eight rotational guys. Guys,
we're asking for at least half a million. Guess what
football bryce a poker? Here, here's what it is. And
if you've got a quarterback, even if he is he's good,
(14:43):
not great, he's got an opportunity to raise his hand
and say, you guys aren't getting me what I need.
Other teams are gonna be more than happy to take
a look at him. Right and if he can go,
and with the rules being what they are, you don't
have to sit out on the transfer side of things,
much like coaches get to just up and leave and
be careful what you ask for because you open the door.
(15:04):
And now the players get their freedom, which is great.
I think it's the perfect perfect thing for all of
those the sanctity. Now, I still wonder when we get
into student athlete if that's just relegated to Division III
with the rare exceptions anymore, that's a whole other thing
you have to navigate and all of this if we
just have to start saying an athlete student with the
(15:26):
S as a lower case. I don't know, but we're
still at a point where, yeah, test, test the waters
and test where the It's like when you go up
bowling and they put the bumpers up, go see how
many times you can make it bounce back and forth
across the lane before it gets to the pins. That's
where we're at in the NCAA.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Right now, exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harbon.
Speaking of college football, we got some quarterback debates coming
up next. Is Shador Sanders really a top three pick?
Is Jackson Dart really gonna go in the top ten?
Ah special visit with College Football Inside or extraordinary? Pete
(16:08):

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

Here he is back, the owner, editor, proprietor of College
Footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for everything college football.
(16:46):
It is longtime front of the show. Pete feu tech Peat.
What's happening?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Man?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
You have a little bake sale for one so noo. Now, Like,
how's he gonna make ends meet? I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I'll let you know. We're gonna figure something out. We'll
send a mass a group email out or group text out.
You can let me know if you can be there.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You know how they have those things like I said
in college, like when you'd go like you pay like
ten dollars way back then, and like oh you can
drink okay. This first cup of beer is ten dollars,
next cup is five dollars. Like is it like at
this point with Wan Soto swings, Like was that swing
that he got hurt on that like a like a
seventy eight thousand dollars that cost him?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think per game, let's go the money he makes
it maybe seventy eight thousand dollars a swing it may
may I.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Thought it was low. Maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He is staying in the game, though, So that is
good news for what toughness news.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
That is good.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He's like an NHL player. Hey, man, I'll tell you
it's April. People get nicked up. You got to keep playing, man,
You gotta keep playing your one soda, all right, Pete,
So a bunch of stuff to get to here. You know,
we talked about the Nico Yamalayava situation earlier this hour.
Tennessee's quarterback decides, I'm I'm not going to show up
at practice. I want more money. Potentially I can get
(18:04):
a better deal someplace else. And you know, I love
the reaction to this that all day has been how
dare he do?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
This? Had to?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Like people still think, Pete, the college football is like, hey,
we're we're we're having tailgates and we're showing up in
the last bastion of amateur athletes in the world.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Like people understand what college football is now, don't they?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I mean, really, well, first of all, kudos for I,
you know what, I'm usually good at this Roethlisberger is
a chef. He I've been able to like spell and pronounce,
so I for me, it's yamo b there. I whipped
this game every single but like, yeah, nailed it. But
(18:45):
you're right, I mean there's this no I mean, the
college fans have always been, you know, naive when it
comes to this stuff, and you know, they assume that
they just got the guy on. In the morning, he
took his psych tests and after studying it all night,
he got an A and then he went and won
the big game.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And then when he went out with Mary tub.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
And ed El molt at the shot, you know, like
all this ridiculous stuff that these are college kids and
things when they they're entertainers. I mean, this is this
is high end entertainment, professional entertainment. That's all it is.
There's nothing noble about college sports. It's just they're out
there to make money and that's what everybody does. So
(19:25):
you're right. So now that these guys are actually making
money now, in the past, they would just do this
behind the scenes and no one would know about it.
Now it's out there.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And obviously he got an offer from someone. You know,
you're not supposed to start pandering yet, but you're not
gonna do this unless Old Buck guys or somebody like that.
They've thrown up that four mildo number at him. So
uh so he's kind of I think he probably ends
up staying.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
So either he really is in a position where they're
gonna get them as much money as he wants that
you get, because he's kind of hurt that Carson Beck
got four million to go to Miami and Darius Mensa
went from Tulane to Duke for something like three ish
and you know, I've been Good's supposed to only make
like two four this year and his eight million dollar deal,
(20:12):
which is is a big deal at the time. Uh So, Yeah,
it's either that or when the transfer portal opened up
on Wednesday, anybody but the SEC school. He can't go
to one of those good epsite out of year like
in Ohio state or if you're in Oregon or him
I'm Michigan. It would have to be someone pretty massive
(20:32):
to get him at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I just like Pete, you know before before Harmon, did
we get to Sanders and Dark? Is that like, like,
here's the story and when you read his name, it
looks like it says I'm gonna leave you, Like, is
that great? It looks like his name is I'm gonna
leave you.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Well to your point, also, the problem is, like all
these fans are like, well, let him go or he
will be just fine, which they kind of would be.
I mean, like, I mean, it's not like Tennessee couldn't
afford someone else in the transfer portal when it opened
up on Wednesday. And he's good, though, but this is
when college quarterbacks take that next leap off. I'm not
saying these jayde Daniels or Joe Burrow, but he's got
(21:08):
the skills.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I mean, he's he is an.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Elite talent of a player. So you're right. The reaction
of the fans, especially Tennise deefense good, we don't need him.
But and then a certain extent though, Now the problem
is fans are paying for this with all the ten
dollars talent fee. You're a ten percent talent fee that's
added on the tickets and the collectives and all being
(21:32):
hit up for money for these guys. So it's it's
real messy and there's nothing clean and easy about it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Well, I mean, do you just start getting all the
emails like I do, for just twenty three dollars a month,
you can help us stock our defensive backfield.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
God, here's the thing if we're talking basketball that I
get because all you need is one or two guys,
unless you're Rutgers, which somehow doug even though they had two,
you know, the top five picks in the draft. But
if you get like a couple guys all of a sudden,
you know you could do something big. But like in football,
(22:07):
you need so many parts, Like one guy is just
not gonna, you know, necessarily cut it. And that's just
a quarterback. But look, who do we have last year
in the national championship? Will Howard from Kansas State good player,
certainly not you know, the number one overall pick, and
Riley Leonard, who you know has a ton of skills,
you know, became an intro duke, but they weren't the
(22:28):
highest e end players. But yeah, you can. You can
win with really good quarterbacks. You don't necessarily need to
have the number one overall pick to win a national title.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah you're lying about Rutgers, absolutely true. Eight and twelve
in conference, fifteen and seventeen overall. What the hell? Man?
But let's get back to the NFL Draft quarterback play,
and we get the news of Derek Carr with the
shoulder injury, and now it's all the all right, what
really happened? Was it like Clint Barnas where he was
carrying Venison up some stairs? I don't know, but it
(22:57):
does open the door for well, they're the quarterback slot.
Is it your door? S Anders Smith's starting his campaign
for Jackson Dark. I'm wondering if they wait and they
go for shucked in round two?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
What say you?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I love Joe, you just can't stay healthy. I mean
that if you're worried about, you know, talent wise, Teller
really does have the skilled. I mean he was supposed
to be next after Justin Herbert and just had no
luck staying healthy whatsoever. Not his fault. It's not like
goesn't tough. He had like broken bones and things. But
(23:31):
when he's on, he's got the He's got number one
in the world draft pick skills. He's just a little
old and gets hurt a little too much. I don't
know if there's that answer in this. I'm a big
schnor Standrews fan. As I've told you before. I here
cam Moore's kind of fine. I do think though you
can get some pretty decent value. You know, Quinny yours
can get you from here to there, and there's some
(23:54):
other decent prospects out there. I'm just not a huge
Jackson's Dark guy, a little more of a system with
Lane Kiff and Nolan Misremember, you know, I know we're
going to what year five of the great Matt Corral
era when you was supposedly this number one overall possible pick.
So I don't know if there's that guy out there
who at least I'll tell the guys up top that
(24:15):
you're gonna say, yeah, that's him, unless you want to
roll the dice on Chuck and he's probably the third
round flyer, even though he's maybe gonna go maybe early second.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
At this point, beat where are you? Where are you?
On Sanders? Right?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Like we finished the college football season, it's boy Him
and cam Ward won two and now every day a
new a new pundit comes out with something hotter take
than the last. He's not even gonna go. He's out
of top ten. He's not a first rounder. He's an
undrafted free agent. Like what you've seen him play, You've
seen a lot of him the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Where do you slot him? How good a quarterback is Sanders?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
His last name is Manning. He's number one. I mean
it's it's because he's Sor Sanders. He's Dion's kid, and
it's the Colorado thing where it kind of got annoying,
and he's, you know, who knows how this works if
things start to go bad. You know, Dion and Shador
don't take criticism all that well. But blah blah blah.
But he's Deion Sanders kid. He's a professor. He knows
(25:13):
how to handle himself as a pro. He's been trained
by the best. You know, Deon Sanders has had the
he's obviously had the camps. He's had the talents, the
guys to come in to really sort of coach him
up since he was a kid. He's got the skills.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
He's there, He's he's smart, he reads everything so well.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
He's so tough that guy took up beating. I mean,
just imagine what he could do if he doesn't have
a defensive lineman jumping on his head every single play.
Is so he's got He's one of the best beef
ball throwers in college and long, long time. I think
he's the easy number one. I think the reason why
(25:53):
it's not is just because he's the whole Shador Sanders thing.
But I think he is the number one overall pick
Cammod's good. The weird cop I have for him to
really got to go older school is Jake Plumber, only
because Jake Plummer was that guy who would make these
miracle great comebacks. He'd be awesome in the fourth quarter,
but partially because he got them there in the first
(26:16):
place with a couple of really bad interceptions that he
would need to make, you know, the big story to comeback.
That's kind of what Cam Wored does. He'll get you
a beat a little too often, but he's certainly got
the skills. And then there's a drop off of to
those two.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We look at the draft board and we love the
running back position. Right, all of a sudden, it's back
in vogue, even though it was three guys that were
really good that went to really good teams that fueled that.
In the NFL, how many guys in the first two
rounds do we say three five deep?
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yeah, Chancey's the one. Chanty's the top five ish guy.
Everyone's gonna love him and I think they're kind of
overloving him. He's got the speed, he's tough, don't I
don't think he's He's not Seakawon Barkley as of now,
but he's very very good. But I don't. But again,
this whole idea, well, look, you know, Saquon Barkley proved
(27:05):
you can win a Super Bowl with a top lay
running back. Yeah, well, Philaphia won the Super Bowl because
that defensive line beat up Patrick Mahomes all game long.
So it's yeah, Barkley had something to do with that.
You're right, but look at these you know, the year
of the running back that we had from last year. Okay,
of course Joe Mixon did did well, and Josh Jacobs
had a good year, and there's other good backs out there,
(27:27):
but you know, compared to Derrick Henry, I mean, you're
talking about arguably the top five greatest running backs of
all time, who obviously is just a you know, a
freak of nature with his talent and size and his
ability to stay healthy and all he can do at
Taequon Barkley Saquon Barkley, and I don't think there's that
in this draft. When I think we really go back
(27:48):
to there are thirty running backs out there that can
absolutely produce at an NFL level in a rotation. I
don't think he has to go that early on a
running back this year.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Pete.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
If I said to you, in the first two rounds
of the draft, more running backs or more quarterbacks selected,
what would.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You say, first two rounds? First two rounds good? How
much do you really buy that Dart's gonna go? I
guess yeah, you kind of have to because there's a
lot of teams out there that need rookie quarterbacks. And
you know, for all the you know, the big contracts
being thrown around, still the most valuable thing in probably
(28:24):
the entire world of business is a starting quarterback in
the NFL on a rookie contract. I mean, because you're
just not paying them those fifty four million dollars that
the Joe Burrows and Jerry n Hurts them to get paid.
So I think someone's gonna have to start buying me,
and you've got to at least have options for the
near future. The problem is there's just not a lot
of sure things like sometimes you know, the answer is
(28:47):
none to be above, you know, like the Kenny Pickett,
Malik Willis year where it's like, oh these guys can
you know, we'll think they'll go in the first round.
Well yeah, but they're not good, you know, so they
might go early because teams are so dead for quarterbacks.
But there just isn't the talent there. Now the problem
going forward is outside Arch there's a little sketchy going
(29:08):
into next year too. So you've got to kind of
see something in one of these guys and say, okay,
maybe a Jalen no Row that is there's something there.
It's a little bit different that we can boil on.
Or you like Shunk, or you think Jackson Dark really
does have the skills. But again and again, Sanders and
cam Ward they're good, but this is nothing compared to
(29:31):
last year's amazing drafted quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios.
Big story in the NBA. Tonight, it is now official.
Nikola Jokic will become the third player ever in the
history of the NBA to average a triple double for
(30:27):
the season. Right, for the longest time growing up, you
and I MiG Oscar Robertson only player to do it.
Oscar Robertson only played to do it well. Then Russell
Westbrook did it, winning the MVP. Actually Westbrook doing it
four times, so we've kind of seen this, but now
here's Nikola Jokic doing it for the Nuggets. Happened tonight
when he got his fourth assist tonight in their win
(30:48):
over Memphis. It's a really impressive, obviously average triple dole
for the season for Nicola Jokicic. It's incredibly impressive. Right,
this guy has been so good for so long in
the NBA. Can't give him the MVP this year.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I know that that no matter what he has done
in the past, it's been Yeah, here are the Nuggets.
They're a nice fifty win team in the regular season.
Let's give him the MVP. MVP is not Player of
the Year, right, you want a second award? I've always
long said, hey, let's give out another a ward. Let's
give out Player of the Year, and let's give away
MVP Most Valuable Player, because if you are the MVP,
(31:26):
you raise your team to a level that hey, without you,
where would you be? And clearly, yes, without NICOLEA. Jokicch
where would the Nuggets be? But it's not like because
of Jokic the Nuggets are the number one runaway team
in the Western Conference. They're not the MVP this year
is Shay gilgis Alexander You want to say, hey, who
has led his team someplace where you need to lead
(31:48):
your team to if you're gonna be the MVP. Oklahoma
City is going to have the best record in the NBA.
They're sixty seven and fourteen. And how many fifty point
games has he had? He has been on a team
that is pretty loaded, Right, you have a pretty good
team surrounding you. He has been without a doubt, the
best players, leading scorer in the games, averaging over thirty
two points a game. Yeah, this is his MVP because
(32:11):
his team is in first place and they've run away
with the Western Conference from the beginning. Where the Nuggets,
no matter how good Yokic is, Ah, they lose a
bunch of games in a row here there at the
end of the season, they gotta fire their head coach
because nobody likes them. Doesn't mean Jokic isn't as great
as he was before, maybe even greater with averaging a
triple double. But MVP you kind of have to lead
your team to something.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
It's like the people that.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Wanted Steph Curry to be in MVP a couple of
years ago when when the Nugget went when the Warriors
were seventh in the West, Like, can't be MVP where
your team is seventh? Come on, man, you gotta be
you gotta do something that boy, where would they be? Yeah,
I get where would they be without you? But your
seventh you're in the middle of the pack in the
Western Conference. You got to really do something again, MVP
is not Player of the Year.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I just always remember the nineteen eighty seven National League
MVP going to Andre Dawson, who's fantast for the Cubs,
they still sucked. So no matter how great he was. Okay,
he was fun to watch every time he came through
the lineup, but did it matter. No empty stats like
any Angels home run hit in the last decade. Sorry
(33:15):
for those few Angel fans listening, or White Sox fans
for that matter, it doesn't matter what they did here.
You've got minus three thousand as of this morning. Shay
Gilders Alexander Nikola Jokic at ten to one fantastic statistical season. Unfortunately,
when you get down to it, I agree with your logic,
(33:37):
no matter how much his statistics are overwhelming and ridiculous,
perhaps diminished somewhat by what Russell Westbrook was able to
do for all those seasons. Because now he's the guy
that the loyalty from his now former coach to him
is what got Michael Malone fired. That doesn't help him.
(33:58):
But Joki, I mean, because he's a center, then maybe
you look at it a little bit differently, but I
don't think it changes anything. Shay's going to win it.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
If we hadn't seen now, because there is part to
doing something we haven't seen before, right, Like, Hey, what
kind of great year did did Francisco Lindor have last
year for the Mets?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
A lot of other years he would have been the
nl MVP. Shoheo Tani goes fifty to fifty. We had
never seen that before, fifty to fifty or the NLMVP.
If we hadn't seen someone average a triple double in
the NBA, like we saw Russell Westbrook do it for
you know, four years, then maybe I could say, all right, well,
we just we haven't seen this. This is unbelievable exceence
(34:36):
that we haven't seen.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
But we saw it. We saw it a few years
in a row.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
So I think that part of that is as well
as you might get you would get more voters over
to Jokicic's side.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
But the fact is we've seen that. It's not something
that cuts through as much as it as much as
it would have have we not seen it.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that you know you're the next guy
through the door, but that's just the way it works, right.
Perhaps the triple double was also a rarefied thing back
in the day. Other than Jason kidden Is eleven ten
and ten kind of games.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Hey, hey, we need more ten, ten and ten. It's
more ten, ten and ten.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Alright, Well, I usually got that extra free throw down
the stretch because he's sure as hell wasn't hitting a
jump shot.
Speaker 1 (35:13):

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, here we are our two and let me just
say this.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No nobody but nobody, but nobody turns two to one
and nobody out into no runs like the Mets.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Nobody nobody does that.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The drop off in the lineup after Alonzo is like
the Mariana Trench. Nobody is it never hitting oh eighty three,
eighty five, one fifteen. It's it's I can't get over it. Oh,
the best line up in baseball. Once you get outside
of the third or fourth there nobody gets base. Yeah,
but they're getting Sono beats out of ground or for
(01:30):
a hit. Alonzo gets hit by a pitch. Guess what,
no runs.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, they're getting to check out that cool place that
the athletics are.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Dude, it's I'm sorry, man, it's embarrassing watching. You know. Look,
obviously we've seen the the.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
A's play here now for a while, and you know,
I'm watching the Mets and the A's right now. It's
on MLB Network. But just like to see the outfield
where fans have blankets down on the grass and they're
sitting like it's like it's.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
A little league.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And that's what it looks like like when you know,
all the parents, some of the parents, Hey, we're gonna
put a blanket down in the outfield and sit out there.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, great, right, And all the.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Kids are in the stands and there, and they're just
watching and and and and running around in the outfield
playing catch, you know, behind the center.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Sure, like it's what.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It looks like like any time anytime you see someone
with a blanket, you know, on a patch of grass
just off of the foul pole.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Like that's embarrassing, man, I mean, come on, it is.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Come on, what was that guy's name? Big Al? And
I hit Dingers to come out and tell me man,
I got Dodgers and Cubs, Big Freddie Freeman. Bobblehead night,
Welcome back Freddie Freeman. The little Charlie threw out the
first pitch they gave out the bobblehead, and they had
to keep putting all sorts of notices out that you
were only forty thousand bibbleheads today. Oh yeah, that so
(02:47):
they only expanded a full capacity for the Otani days,
so you still had to stand in line, and you
had to be there early today.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Information today, you stand in line. Tomorrow maybe not, but
the day you stand alone.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They also put out a notice that they had to
cancel the drone show after the game. I mean that
that that sucks. I want some restitution, man.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Wait, Ruben Drones was gonna put on a show after
the game, and they canceled that.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That would have been a set like go Ducks.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Mis uh so hey speaking of college football, and I
didn't I didn't mean to do that. I mean, I'm
a professional, and that's a great segue, but I did
not mean to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know what, you don't need to pull the curtain
back all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Whiz oh, now you're going with the wrizzler. Now you're
gonna get me some wrizzler.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, I say, I was kind of shortening. Uh, well,
if you guys had kept the winning streak, they were
gonna give him a seat and put a statue up.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Sure, but we lost the game, so yeah, I know,
he doesn't get his Grimace seat like Grimace.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Now the magic is done by the way. You know,
they're the Happy Meal. They're really uh having parties where
folks are going and getting the happy meals like teenagers
trying to get the Grimace minecraft. Oh yeah, character, Yeah,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You gotta have a I mean you gotta have a
Chicken Jockey one out there, right, like, yeah, I mean,
there's got.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
They didn't want put it in. They didn't put it
in the set. But now there's a Lego set. You
can get with it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You have to, like you know what I'm you know
what it's like. Okay, we'll get to the big college
football story in the second. But It's like I remember
when Frozen came out and it was such a hit, right,
Elsa and on everybody wanted Elsa and on a dolls.
They wanted Elsa and on a dresses like that was
my daughter. That was her first one of the first
big movie events of her life. Like el At one
point she said to me before what I chose, Dad, I
(04:32):
wish Elsa was real. I said, oh, I'm so sorry,
Baby Green.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And then you started naming all the ice queens you
knew when you were younger. Yeah, And I said, when
I was on the dating scene, there was this girl
and this Oh look what I just did there? Hate
me at Swollen Dome.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I said, Hey, I understand. I wish she was real too.
I wish the Jets had a quarterback. That's a bigger
issue than else Elsa not being real. But like they
ran out of stuff so quickly because they didn't expect
that kind of demit. They didn't expect to be that
kind of hit, so there was no else and honest
stuff for a long time.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Think about all the ol off stuff. Yeah, right then
baby baby Yoda after that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Baby group was not in Frozen all that. No, no, no,
but I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Just saying, like, in terms of underestimating demand, there've been
a couple of massive failures by these movie studios.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, and it took like a month or like a
couple of months to get stuff, and so, oh, here's
your frozen stuff for the hollids. Right, here's a here's
Elsa's ice castle. Here are the dolls, here's the Elsa dresses.
People were making dresses on Etsy and selling them for
like one hundred and fifty dollars, like it was a
huge thing. Like I feel like that's what Minecraft has done. Dude,
you gotta get Chicken Jockey's rolling Man. Everybody wants some
(05:42):
kind of Chicken Jockey something. My daughter wants to go
see that. She's gonna see it for a third time.
I told you, it's gen Z's rocky horror picture show.
That's the that's where, that's the place Minecraft will occupy
in the pop culture pantheon. Like, she wants to go
see it for a third time this weekend, just so
she could get the Chicken Jockey popcorn bucket.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, but you need on knee bay.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, I'm not going to do that, but I'll let her.
I'll give her twelve dollars to go to the movie.
She can get a popcorn bucket if they haven't.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It was a great video from a guy. It was
I forget which of the theaters it was, but the
guy put up say go say Hi Hi to Steve.
So Steve was one of the you know that's what
he called himself, working the counter and he had prizes.
And the first person that read the note and turned
back around to customer service and went over to him,
(06:34):
he gave them the chicken jockey popcorn bucket. Kid was
just like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And then you had all these folks and they had
the hidden camera and like they're like should we go?
Should we go? And like you'd have a kid start
to walk and would wait for the mob or the
dad to come with them to go ask. And finally
the last two prizes claimed and got down to gift
cards and other buckets and whatever. Were folks that had
to be eighty five if they were a day. It's like,
(07:00):
are you going to see the Minecraft movie? You're like, no,
well here's your gift card anyway, because you can't and
duck to me.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No, I'm getting a chicken jockey popcorn bucket.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
For my nephew Ian. He really likes the Minecraft and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Uh, what I'm waiting for and Pat and penning on this,
what I really want is I'm waiting for the Halloween
costumes because you know, chicken Jockey's be big. But I
want the chicken jockey that you can put on your dog,
where like you put the you put the the the
outfit on your dog and it has the chicken jockey
riding you know, the jockey riding it as it goes
like that's and that's amazing, like that, that's the I
want to I want that from my dog more than
(07:35):
I want anything for anything else right now, I want
I want to see Benny as a.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Chicken jockey, just like you had Benny running around with
a knife like he was Chucky a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, that was great chicken juck all right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
So while that's going on, UH and people are still
going to see Minecraft. Today was an incredible story out
of college football. Right you probably woke up and saw
the Tennessee quarterback. UH is not going to practice because
his n I l deal. He wants to readjust it
and wants to redo it, wants a he wants. He wants,
(08:10):
he wants to redo his contract in the middle of it.
So he's not at practice. He is, he is away
from the team. It's a bit of a shock. But
you've never seen this before, right. We have seen players
threatened want to leave. We've seen players quit.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Un l v's quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Quit last year because he didn't like the uh uh
They promised him more money for the N I L
deal and he and he quit middle of the seasons.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm leaving. I'm going someplace, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But but the first thing I want to say is
this because because this is what I've been waiting for
all day, because this has been this is gonna be
a big build up and release from me. Is you
know how Berman would say this would do this story? Yeah,
now remember you know remember how uh is spelled, right,
Remember how it's spelled and and and this is this
is you can't even get it out. I can't get
(08:56):
I can't because because he would say, and a big
story out of Tennessee, they may lose their starting quarterback
as Nico I need more money or I'm gonna leave
you is going to sit out practice until his NIL
deal gets adjusted.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Boy, that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Can we get that on a training card? They had
that cool set from tops? Can we put that one
in the football?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And I am to leave you if you don't give
me more money? Right, So ayam alava is not a practice.
They're figuring things out right. And you know, two things
off of this, because there's one really big take.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
What is that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I love that there's still the number of people on
social media that are like, college football is still the
last noble sport. There is amateurs for like, come on, man,
just stop because the thing is so many people complain
about nil and the transfer portal.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And I'll tell you what I love, ni l I
love the transfer portal.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I love what it's happened, what this has done to
college football because it is even the playing field across
the country. Look at some of the teams that when
you figure out NIL, you can compete, Right, How are
teams gonna compete with Alabama and Michigan and Texas and
Florida and Miamia. How are you gonna compete with all
(10:17):
these teams? They have everything. But maybe we don't quite
have the NIL figured out. Maybe we don't have the
same number of people that want to donate and help you.
And that evens the playing field because I look at
teams like Syracuse, like Duke, two teams in the ACC
that clearly football wise in the last year figured out nil, right,
(10:40):
because there's no reason why Syracuse should have gotten Kyle McCord.
There's no reason why Hey, as good as great a
recruiter as Fran Brown is at Syracuse, Like, how does
he get all these guys from Alabama and A and
M and Georgia and he flips them? They figured out nil.
Duke has figured out nil. They got two of the
most highly sought after quarterbacks in the portal last two years.
(11:00):
Duke has Manny Diaz has figured out the transfer portal
more than some other schools have. This evens the playing
field so much, And I get this is why a
lot of schools don't like it, and because the big
schools are like.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, we've lost our advantage.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm sorry, Uh, don't you have more resources than anybody
else's Alabama's athletic department, what football brings in, what Auburn
brings in.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
You don't have the money, Tennessee. You don't have the
money for your quarterback. Really, you're trying to figure something out.
You don't have the money. I mean, it's not like
it's not like yellow Layava is great. He's a good quarterback. Right,
he's good. He's not great, but he's good. Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry that that that a school that prints money
in college football is having trouble. That's why I love
the NIL and the transfer portal because this even things
(11:42):
out and it lets teams figure stuff out. Yes, for
the end for college basketball, it's Oh, the Cinderellas aren't
gonna be around anymore because kids get to leave. That's
a good thing for the kids, right, because Hey, if
I'm going to school X that that nobody's.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Really heard of.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But I become that commerce player of the year, guess what,
I get a lot of money to go to Florida
State to play basketball, or to North Carolina or to
Michigan State. Ye, I think that's good for the kid.
I think all this, Hey, I can I can make
this money if I prove that I'm really good. I'm
gonna move through divisions.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I'm gonna go from low one. Am gonna start out
in the MAC. Then I might get to the ACC.
I'll finish in the sec like this is how kids
do it, and it's good for them and it's good
for the sport because now across the board you are
seeing teams that would normally just be dead in the
water where the only way they're ever competing is if
you have a second tier of Division one kind.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Of like you do it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You know, you get regulated in soccer where hey, if
you had two divisions and you had the top division
championship and then the next divient championship, Hey, okay, because
like schools like Syracuse and Duke and the lesser schools
and college Football and Rutgers can compete in that lower
subdivision for a championship, but you're not doing it the
top one with teams like Michigan and Ohio State and
Penn State.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, but now you can, now you can. I love
the NIL.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I love when I see the big, big teams like
this have problems.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I laugh.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I go, man, how you can screw after having the
Golden goose lay eggs.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
For you for years?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
How you can't figure out NIL and the new era
of college football because you think we're gonna do it
better than everybody else. We're not a team that pays
that for players. Other players have to make sure they
want to be here. Yeah, you go ahead and you
keep losing. You see how things are done, and then
you'll hire a young recruiter who comes in and understands
this is the NIL era and I don't have a
(13:28):
great offensive system, I don't have a great defensive system.
But I'll hire the right guys and I will get
the talent in and you watch and see what happens.
I love the NIL in the translporter era.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, either jump in or don't. Right, Like for our
schools Syracuse, Northwestern, Duke and the like, you had the
opportunity if you'd embraced it early. They were a little
late and getting to the party. But now they've come
into the club and they're trying to figure it out.
You have an alumni base that you can activate. Eventually
we get into the revenue share and they're saying, what
(14:01):
cap is gonna be twenty and a half million dollars
or thereabouts. So you have to navigate those waters going forward.
But there'll be a lot of fights as to how
the monies work out. And moving forward, you have title
nine that it's still consideration in the calculations. But guys
that can go into the portal and make their fortune.
(14:23):
How do you begrudge them? Right? We talked about it
from the basketball side. Don McLain on with petros and money.
Here am five to seventy LA Sports are our flagship
in Los Angeles, saying the top eight rotational guys. Guys,
we're asking for at least half a million. Guess what
football bryce a poker? Here, here's what it is. And
if you've got a quarterback, even if he is he's good,
(14:43):
not great, he's got an opportunity to raise his hand
and say, you guys aren't getting me what I need.
Other teams are gonna be more than happy to take
a look at him. Right and if he can go,
and with the rules being what they are, you don't
have to sit out on the transfer side of things,
much like coaches get to just up and leave and
be careful what you ask for because you open the door.
(15:04):
And now the players get their freedom, which is great.
I think it's the perfect perfect thing for all of
those the sanctity. Now, I still wonder when we get
into student athlete if that's just relegated to Division III
with the rare exceptions anymore, that's a whole other thing
you have to navigate and all of this if we
just have to start saying an athlete student with the
(15:26):
S as a lower case. I don't know, but we're
still at a point where, yeah, test, test the waters
and test where the It's like when you go up
bowling and they put the bumpers up, go see how
many times you can make it bounce back and forth
across the lane before it gets to the pins. That's
where we're at in the NCAA.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Right now, exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harbon.
Speaking of college football, we got some quarterback debates coming
up next. Is Shador Sanders really a top three pick?
Is Jackson Dart really gonna go in the top ten?
Ah special visit with College Football Inside or extraordinary? Pete
(16:08):
feu Tech coming up next as we get set for
the draft less than two weeks from tonight. That's next,
right here, Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Here he is back, the owner, editor, proprietor of College
Footballnews dot com. You're one stop shopping for everything college football.
(16:46):
It is longtime front of the show. Pete feu tech Peat.
What's happening?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Man?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
You have a little bake sale for one so noo. Now, Like,
how's he gonna make ends meet? I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I'll let you know. We're gonna figure something out. We'll
send a mass a group email out or group text out.
You can let me know if you can be there.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You know how they have those things like I said
in college, like when you'd go like you pay like
ten dollars way back then, and like oh you can
drink okay. This first cup of beer is ten dollars,
next cup is five dollars. Like is it like at
this point with Wan Soto swings, Like was that swing
that he got hurt on that like a like a
seventy eight thousand dollars that cost him?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think per game, let's go the money he makes
it maybe seventy eight thousand dollars a swing it may
may I.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Thought it was low. Maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He is staying in the game, though, So that is
good news for what toughness news.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
That is good.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He's like an NHL player. Hey, man, I'll tell you
it's April. People get nicked up. You got to keep playing, man,
You gotta keep playing your one soda, all right, Pete,
So a bunch of stuff to get to here. You know,
we talked about the Nico Yamalayava situation earlier this hour.
Tennessee's quarterback decides, I'm I'm not going to show up
at practice. I want more money. Potentially I can get
(18:04):
a better deal someplace else. And you know, I love
the reaction to this that all day has been how
dare he do?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
This? Had to?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Like people still think, Pete, the college football is like, hey,
we're we're we're having tailgates and we're showing up in
the last bastion of amateur athletes in the world.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Like people understand what college football is now, don't they?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I mean, really, well, first of all, kudos for I,
you know what, I'm usually good at this Roethlisberger is
a chef. He I've been able to like spell and pronounce,
so I for me, it's yamo b there. I whipped
this game every single but like, yeah, nailed it. But
(18:45):
you're right, I mean there's this no I mean, the
college fans have always been, you know, naive when it
comes to this stuff, and you know, they assume that
they just got the guy on. In the morning, he
took his psych tests and after studying it all night,
he got an A and then he went and won
the big game.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And then when he went out with Mary tub.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
And ed El molt at the shot, you know, like
all this ridiculous stuff that these are college kids and
things when they they're entertainers. I mean, this is this
is high end entertainment, professional entertainment. That's all it is.
There's nothing noble about college sports. It's just they're out
there to make money and that's what everybody does. So
(19:25):
you're right. So now that these guys are actually making
money now, in the past, they would just do this
behind the scenes and no one would know about it.
Now it's out there.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And obviously he got an offer from someone. You know,
you're not supposed to start pandering yet, but you're not
gonna do this unless Old Buck guys or somebody like that.
They've thrown up that four mildo number at him. So
uh so he's kind of I think he probably ends
up staying.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
So either he really is in a position where they're
gonna get them as much money as he wants that
you get, because he's kind of hurt that Carson Beck
got four million to go to Miami and Darius Mensa
went from Tulane to Duke for something like three ish
and you know, I've been Good's supposed to only make
like two four this year and his eight million dollar deal,
(20:12):
which is is a big deal at the time. Uh So, Yeah,
it's either that or when the transfer portal opened up
on Wednesday, anybody but the SEC school. He can't go
to one of those good epsite out of year like
in Ohio state or if you're in Oregon or him
I'm Michigan. It would have to be someone pretty massive
(20:32):
to get him at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I just like Pete, you know before before Harmon, did
we get to Sanders and Dark? Is that like, like,
here's the story and when you read his name, it
looks like it says I'm gonna leave you, Like, is
that great? It looks like his name is I'm gonna
leave you.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Well to your point, also, the problem is, like all
these fans are like, well, let him go or he
will be just fine, which they kind of would be.
I mean, like, I mean, it's not like Tennessee couldn't
afford someone else in the transfer portal when it opened
up on Wednesday. And he's good, though, but this is
when college quarterbacks take that next leap off. I'm not
saying these jayde Daniels or Joe Burrow, but he's got
(21:08):
the skills.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I mean, he's he is an.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Elite talent of a player. So you're right. The reaction
of the fans, especially Tennise deefense good, we don't need him.
But and then a certain extent though, Now the problem
is fans are paying for this with all the ten
dollars talent fee. You're a ten percent talent fee that's
added on the tickets and the collectives and all being
(21:32):
hit up for money for these guys. So it's it's
real messy and there's nothing clean and easy about it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Well, I mean, do you just start getting all the
emails like I do, for just twenty three dollars a month,
you can help us stock our defensive backfield.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
God, here's the thing if we're talking basketball that I
get because all you need is one or two guys,
unless you're Rutgers, which somehow doug even though they had two,
you know, the top five picks in the draft. But
if you get like a couple guys all of a sudden,
you know you could do something big. But like in football,
(22:07):
you need so many parts, Like one guy is just
not gonna, you know, necessarily cut it. And that's just
a quarterback. But look, who do we have last year
in the national championship? Will Howard from Kansas State good player,
certainly not you know, the number one overall pick, and
Riley Leonard, who you know has a ton of skills,
you know, became an intro duke, but they weren't the
(22:28):
highest e end players. But yeah, you can. You can
win with really good quarterbacks. You don't necessarily need to
have the number one overall pick to win a national title.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah you're lying about Rutgers, absolutely true. Eight and twelve
in conference, fifteen and seventeen overall. What the hell? Man?
But let's get back to the NFL Draft quarterback play,
and we get the news of Derek Carr with the
shoulder injury, and now it's all the all right, what
really happened? Was it like Clint Barnas where he was
carrying Venison up some stairs? I don't know, but it
(22:57):
does open the door for well, they're the quarterback slot.
Is it your door? S Anders Smith's starting his campaign
for Jackson Dark. I'm wondering if they wait and they
go for shucked in round two?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
What say you?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I love Joe, you just can't stay healthy. I mean
that if you're worried about, you know, talent wise, Teller
really does have the skilled. I mean he was supposed
to be next after Justin Herbert and just had no
luck staying healthy whatsoever. Not his fault. It's not like
goesn't tough. He had like broken bones and things. But
(23:31):
when he's on, he's got the He's got number one
in the world draft pick skills. He's just a little
old and gets hurt a little too much. I don't
know if there's that answer in this. I'm a big
schnor Standrews fan. As I've told you before. I here
cam Moore's kind of fine. I do think though you
can get some pretty decent value. You know, Quinny yours
can get you from here to there, and there's some
(23:54):
other decent prospects out there. I'm just not a huge
Jackson's Dark guy, a little more of a system with
Lane Kiff and Nolan Misremember, you know, I know we're
going to what year five of the great Matt Corral
era when you was supposedly this number one overall possible pick.
So I don't know if there's that guy out there
who at least I'll tell the guys up top that
(24:15):
you're gonna say, yeah, that's him, unless you want to
roll the dice on Chuck and he's probably the third
round flyer, even though he's maybe gonna go maybe early second.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
At this point, beat where are you? Where are you?
On Sanders? Right?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Like we finished the college football season, it's boy Him
and cam Ward won two and now every day a
new a new pundit comes out with something hotter take
than the last. He's not even gonna go. He's out
of top ten. He's not a first rounder. He's an
undrafted free agent. Like what you've seen him play, You've
seen a lot of him the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Where do you slot him? How good a quarterback is Sanders?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
His last name is Manning. He's number one. I mean
it's it's because he's Sor Sanders. He's Dion's kid, and
it's the Colorado thing where it kind of got annoying,
and he's, you know, who knows how this works if
things start to go bad. You know, Dion and Shador
don't take criticism all that well. But blah blah blah.
But he's Deion Sanders kid. He's a professor. He knows
(25:13):
how to handle himself as a pro. He's been trained
by the best. You know, Deon Sanders has had the
he's obviously had the camps. He's had the talents, the
guys to come in to really sort of coach him
up since he was a kid. He's got the skills.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
He's there, He's he's smart, he reads everything so well.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
He's so tough that guy took up beating. I mean,
just imagine what he could do if he doesn't have
a defensive lineman jumping on his head every single play.
Is so he's got He's one of the best beef
ball throwers in college and long, long time. I think
he's the easy number one. I think the reason why
(25:53):
it's not is just because he's the whole Shador Sanders thing.
But I think he is the number one overall pick
Cammod's good. The weird cop I have for him to
really got to go older school is Jake Plumber, only
because Jake Plummer was that guy who would make these
miracle great comebacks. He'd be awesome in the fourth quarter,
but partially because he got them there in the first
(26:16):
place with a couple of really bad interceptions that he
would need to make, you know, the big story to comeback.
That's kind of what Cam Wored does. He'll get you
a beat a little too often, but he's certainly got
the skills. And then there's a drop off of to
those two.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We look at the draft board and we love the
running back position. Right, all of a sudden, it's back
in vogue, even though it was three guys that were
really good that went to really good teams that fueled that.
In the NFL, how many guys in the first two
rounds do we say three five deep?
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yeah, Chancey's the one. Chanty's the top five ish guy.
Everyone's gonna love him and I think they're kind of
overloving him. He's got the speed, he's tough, don't I
don't think he's He's not Seakawon Barkley as of now,
but he's very very good. But I don't. But again,
this whole idea, well, look, you know, Saquon Barkley proved
(27:05):
you can win a Super Bowl with a top lay
running back. Yeah, well, Philaphia won the Super Bowl because
that defensive line beat up Patrick Mahomes all game long.
So it's yeah, Barkley had something to do with that.
You're right, but look at these you know, the year
of the running back that we had from last year. Okay,
of course Joe Mixon did did well, and Josh Jacobs
had a good year, and there's other good backs out there,
(27:27):
but you know, compared to Derrick Henry, I mean, you're
talking about arguably the top five greatest running backs of
all time, who obviously is just a you know, a
freak of nature with his talent and size and his
ability to stay healthy and all he can do at
Taequon Barkley Saquon Barkley, and I don't think there's that
in this draft. When I think we really go back
(27:48):
to there are thirty running backs out there that can
absolutely produce at an NFL level in a rotation. I
don't think he has to go that early on a
running back this year.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Pete.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
If I said to you, in the first two rounds
of the draft, more running backs or more quarterbacks selected,
what would.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You say, first two rounds? First two rounds good? How
much do you really buy that Dart's gonna go? I
guess yeah, you kind of have to because there's a
lot of teams out there that need rookie quarterbacks. And
you know, for all the you know, the big contracts
being thrown around, still the most valuable thing in probably
(28:24):
the entire world of business is a starting quarterback in
the NFL on a rookie contract. I mean, because you're
just not paying them those fifty four million dollars that
the Joe Burrows and Jerry n Hurts them to get paid.
So I think someone's gonna have to start buying me,
and you've got to at least have options for the
near future. The problem is there's just not a lot
of sure things like sometimes you know, the answer is
(28:47):
none to be above, you know, like the Kenny Pickett,
Malik Willis year where it's like, oh these guys can
you know, we'll think they'll go in the first round.
Well yeah, but they're not good, you know, so they
might go early because teams are so dead for quarterbacks.
But there just isn't the talent there. Now the problem
going forward is outside Arch there's a little sketchy going
(29:08):
into next year too. So you've got to kind of
see something in one of these guys and say, okay,
maybe a Jalen no Row that is there's something there.
It's a little bit different that we can boil on.
Or you like Shunk, or you think Jackson Dark really
does have the skills. But again and again, Sanders and
cam Ward they're good, but this is nothing compared to
(29:31):
last year's amazing drafted quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (29:34):

Big story in the NBA. Tonight, it is now official.
Nikola Jokic will become the third player ever in the
history of the NBA to average a triple double for
(30:27):
the season. Right, for the longest time growing up, you
and I MiG Oscar Robertson only player to do it.
Oscar Robertson only played to do it well. Then Russell
Westbrook did it, winning the MVP. Actually Westbrook doing it
four times, so we've kind of seen this, but now
here's Nikola Jokic doing it for the Nuggets. Happened tonight
when he got his fourth assist tonight in their win
(30:48):
over Memphis. It's a really impressive, obviously average triple dole
for the season for Nicola Jokicic. It's incredibly impressive. Right,
this guy has been so good for so long in
the NBA. Can't give him the MVP this year.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I know that that no matter what he has done
in the past, it's been Yeah, here are the Nuggets.
They're a nice fifty win team in the regular season.
Let's give him the MVP. MVP is not Player of
the Year, right, you want a second award? I've always
long said, hey, let's give out another a ward. Let's
give out Player of the Year, and let's give away
MVP Most Valuable Player, because if you are the MVP,
(31:26):
you raise your team to a level that hey, without you,
where would you be? And clearly, yes, without NICOLEA. Jokicch
where would the Nuggets be? But it's not like because
of Jokic the Nuggets are the number one runaway team
in the Western Conference. They're not the MVP this year
is Shay gilgis Alexander You want to say, hey, who
has led his team someplace where you need to lead
(31:48):
your team to if you're gonna be the MVP. Oklahoma
City is going to have the best record in the NBA.
They're sixty seven and fourteen. And how many fifty point
games has he had? He has been on a team
that is pretty loaded, Right, you have a pretty good
team surrounding you. He has been without a doubt, the
best players, leading scorer in the games, averaging over thirty
two points a game. Yeah, this is his MVP because
(32:11):
his team is in first place and they've run away
with the Western Conference from the beginning. Where the Nuggets,
no matter how good Yokic is, Ah, they lose a
bunch of games in a row here there at the
end of the season, they gotta fire their head coach
because nobody likes them. Doesn't mean Jokic isn't as great
as he was before, maybe even greater with averaging a
triple double. But MVP you kind of have to lead
your team to something.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
It's like the people that.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Wanted Steph Curry to be in MVP a couple of
years ago when when the Nugget went when the Warriors
were seventh in the West, Like, can't be MVP where
your team is seventh? Come on, man, you gotta be
you gotta do something that boy, where would they be? Yeah,
I get where would they be without you? But your
seventh you're in the middle of the pack in the
Western Conference. You got to really do something again, MVP
is not Player of the Year.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I just always remember the nineteen eighty seven National League
MVP going to Andre Dawson, who's fantast for the Cubs,
they still sucked. So no matter how great he was. Okay,
he was fun to watch every time he came through
the lineup, but did it matter. No empty stats like
any Angels home run hit in the last decade. Sorry
(33:15):
for those few Angel fans listening, or White Sox fans
for that matter, it doesn't matter what they did here.
You've got minus three thousand as of this morning. Shay
Gilders Alexander Nikola Jokic at ten to one fantastic statistical season. Unfortunately,
when you get down to it, I agree with your logic,
(33:37):
no matter how much his statistics are overwhelming and ridiculous,
perhaps diminished somewhat by what Russell Westbrook was able to
do for all those seasons. Because now he's the guy
that the loyalty from his now former coach to him
is what got Michael Malone fired. That doesn't help him.
(33:58):
But Joki, I mean, because he's a center, then maybe
you look at it a little bit differently, but I
don't think it changes anything. Shay's going to win it.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
If we hadn't seen now, because there is part to
doing something we haven't seen before, right, Like, Hey, what
kind of great year did did Francisco Lindor have last
year for the Mets?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
A lot of other years he would have been the
nl MVP. Shoheo Tani goes fifty to fifty. We had
never seen that before, fifty to fifty or the NLMVP.
If we hadn't seen someone average a triple double in
the NBA, like we saw Russell Westbrook do it for
you know, four years, then maybe I could say, all right, well,
we just we haven't seen this. This is unbelievable exceence
(34:36):
that we haven't seen.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
But we saw it. We saw it a few years
in a row.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
So I think that part of that is as well
as you might get you would get more voters over
to Jokicic's side.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
But the fact is we've seen that. It's not something
that cuts through as much as it as much as
it would have have we not seen it.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that you know you're the next guy
through the door, but that's just the way it works, right.
Perhaps the triple double was also a rarefied thing back
in the day. Other than Jason kidden Is eleven ten
and ten kind of games.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Hey, hey, we need more ten, ten and ten. It's
more ten, ten and ten.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Alright, Well, I usually got that extra free throw down
the stretch because he's sure as hell wasn't hitting a
jump shot.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Is there a new favorite to get out of the
Western Conference and into the NBA Finals?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Is there a new favorite that's not the Thunder?
