We'll get to an update with the Rockets and the Warriors in a couple of minutes. And boy, was I right about this game? K Hey, you gotta call that one, isn't you? And then of course coming up, we have the Lakers and the Tea Wolves. The Lakers facing elimination. Yeah, Finny Smith into the starting lineup. But this moment gonna play you, this little play by play here from something on social media. You're gonna see and I want to warn you when you look at it, it's gonna be really difficult to look at. It's gonna be it's it's hard. You're gonna see it from far away during tonight's Pirates game a Pirates and you're seeing reports that he fell from the right field bleachers twenty one feet and landed on the warning track. And there's video of it from far away. There's some video that's kind of zoomed in a little bit, but it's not great quality. It's not known what happened where he is. He was transported to the hospital. But here's what happened on the play by play Pirates TV on the call after the fan fell, and here's how they took care of it. Somebody has fallen.
Out of the stands.
We need to pause here. I think everybody is just now realizing what has happened. And I'm going to be intentionally quiet here.
So there was Pirate's TV on the call and you saw some of the players were praying for him, you know, the fan. And the thing is, you hear the fan fell. The fan fell. And now I'm not saying anything more than what it looked like that I saw. And when you watch this the fan, there's a small railing in front of him that comes up about probably about a three foot railing, three four foot railing, and it certainly looks like when the play happens, he launches himself up, holding onto the top of the railing and he flips over the top of the railing like that's what happened. He definitely launched himself up and flips over the top of the railing. Now, whether he got excited and jumped up because something happened, lost his balance, but the guy, we don't know if he was pushed or not anything else. But the guy certainly goes up and looks like he flips, like like he's doing a move like I can flip. And who knows why he did. Maybe maybe he had a bet with the guys that I can make a flip here and I can hold on. And he fell and he landed on the warning track. He didn't land on his head. He landed kind of on his shoulder straight down when then his head there. There's been no update on the guy, and of course we're all hoping our best, but certainly it looks like he's sort of for some reason, he leapt up, and again it's hard to see exactly why. But the up and the flip. Was it something that got out of control? Did he was he trying to do something? That's what I don't know, but but you know, you hear the report that he fell, and you look at it. That's what you're going to see when you see the video.
Yeah, you get the hit from McCutcheon, and you know, the crowd reacting, and then all of a sudden, it's am I seeing what I when I think I'm seeing right? And and the the flip as you say, twenty one feet is the fall. The statement from the Pirates during the seventh inning, and adult male fell from the right field bleachers onto the field to play Pittsburgh Ems, as well as the Pirates and Cubs athletic training teams and other PNC Park personnel reacted, responded, immediately administered care. So he's gone to Allegheny General Hospital and no further information at this time. Bloodied up face to your point, you know more, the shoulder seemed to be the landing spot. But a pretty terrifying moment. We see at times foul balls as you know that that kind of stuff into the stands, and there are always a question about netting, and then you have a situation like this that begets a whole other conversation about railings and protocols and safeties and trying to figure out exactly what transpired here.
Did he trip, did he fall?
Was it a dare or was it I mean, there's a million questions that need to be answered.
Exit. How about a Fresca exit swollen dome Jason Smith, Mike Carmen. Again, as soon as we have an update on the fan, we will bring it to you again. He was taken to the hospital. The game was stopped while they took him off the field. Again, no updates. The Pirates put out a statement basically saying the same thing, as we learned something more about him later on tonight. We will talk about it. But as you know, as we talk about our business being sports, and I'll tell you about what's going on and breaking things down. And we are moments away from the Lakers and the Tea Wolves because finally the Rockets and the Warriors game has ended. Yeah, it was a long fourth quarter, and I'll tell you it was. It was just giving you enough that, oh, hey, maybe the Rockets are gonna give up this lead. No, the Rockets hang on to win this game. Did I call this last night or not? Did I say this was a game. We previewed both of these games tonight and I said, no, No, this is the Warriors. Don't close it out. This is a game where the Warriors understand, we are a veteran team. We are up three games to one, we are going into Houston. We are not closing it out tonight. Houston's a good team. They're they're gonna have a couple of days to get their heads right because you know, they realize that, Okay, Draymond Green is in our heads the entire series, and he is the one that is just crushing us. So this was gonna be a game. It was gonna be a kind of a get right game for the Rockets. And you knew that the the Warriors were gonna just kind of put up whatever resistance they could, but you knew that it wasn't gonna be a great night. They were gonna kind of put it away and come back and go for the closer back at home. And you saw in the first quarter. You saw the you saw Jimmy buckets and and Steph Nopull points. Yeah.
No, Butler was terrible, you know, effective limited time, second half, a lot of minutes by the bench.
Yeah, and that's what got him back in the game. I think Steve kurb I think I think the Warriors roster tome I had like twenty seven people on it.
Yeah, you really testing the boundaries. We've seen that a couple of times in these playoffs. Like, I didn't realize you could have that many active players. Yeah, just calling up the next guy. Yeah, we're gonna sit in for the rest of the game, So roll up another guy from the bench, Steph Curry with a tough, tough game. I saw this picture before and I show it to you obviously radio audience. But is he hulking out? I mean, look at what his thumb is doing there. Yeah, I don't even know what what what that injury is, man Like, it looks like he's got a bunyon growing.
His thoughts That a bunyon on your thumb yet, just giant.
Not a lot of stuff, but a rough game for the starters struggled mightily.
Butler just two of ten. Curry, what was he four and thirteen?
So he started looking to Moody and Spencer and others from the bench that tried to give him a little bit of bump. But ultimately Houston gets right and wins and blowout fashion mercifully ending that one. As we get ready to see what do you got? JJ Reddick, Well, I'm glad you said that.
So this is just a few moments ago, and obviously this is going to play into the drama we're going to see between the Lakers and the Tea Wolves. JJ Reddick stormed out of his pregame press conference after he got a question he didn't like and maybe he might hate this person more than he hates me. Oh he hates we know, we play. We played the sound. I don't care what Jason Smith has to say. Okay, he may hate this person more than he hates me. Jj Reddick ending his press conference because he got a question that he just didn't like.
As you watched the film, what do you recall about your thought process in the moment, sticking with the five you stuck with in in the fourth quarter the other day? And is there an assistant or someone maybe that you'll lean on tonight maybe to try to get you know, some other guys involved, if that opportunity presents.
Are you saying that because I'm inexperienced and that was an inexperienced.
Decision that I made.
Do you think I don't talk to my assistance about substitutions every single time out?
No?
I just think there's a lot of coaches lean on their assistants in those situations.
As do I lacked every single time.
That's a weird assumption.
That ended the press conference.
I'm out he's a think of the guy from a local TV station right that asked that question.
He's not getting any more exclusives. Is there a guy you lean on? Like? Is there a guy that is going to help you not make that decision again? Uh? So that doesn't happen again.
You were going through your thought process. Did Lebron tell you to do that? I mean, that's really the only other question he could have asked.
Follow up? Yeah, you know Lebron's decision to just go with that five.
I don't know.
Does he hate that guy more than he hates me?
Oh?
Absolutely? You think? Hey, do we have that tysher grab the audio of JJ Reddick not liking me. Let's compare it. Let let's let me know and you have we can play it, because yours is more dismissive, like you like. No, he really doesn't like me. He really doesn't like me. But I don't know if this was just hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna really, you know, fight. But he did walk out of this press conference though he walked out of this one. I mean, I don't know.
We went at it quite a bit when when Reddick got hired and in the aftermath, and then some of the early commentary, and then certainly the dismissiveness that he's had towards media as a whole, with this latest one being a great example.
Yeah, yeah, sure, No, it might have not been.
The best phrased question you can have about that the second half decisions and certainly down the stretch Lebron did. I mean he could have gone and taken some of the Lebron quotes and just throwing him back at jj Hey, we weren't fatigued. Sure you missed a bunch of point blank lamps. Sure Lebron chronicled every miss that should have been an easy bucket. Well you missed them. So what is the explanation? Ah, you know you win something.
You know that's a shot you make ninety percent of the time when you know when you have your legs underneath you. I'm just thinking of the postgame press comments where the first question, no matter what, is going to be JJQ talking about the thought process behind your rotation of why the guys played the minutes they did it's good. JJ, just kind of about the slide away from the microphone. You ever think about playing all five year starters all forty eight minutes? Like nobody going to the bench like these guys. I mean, it's a big game right now, like you need they need this right.
Once upon a time, no one Nathan would call his style of basketball forty minutes of the hell can you do forty eight?
This is gonna be fun to night t Wolves out to a four nothing leading over the Lakers. So let's see, we heard the JJ Reddick. Here was JJ Reddick not being happy with me. There was a notion after the look it's coming from something on Twitter, I'm not going to know.
It is coming from from real people, from your general manager among them, which was like this was about the next time Jason Smith one nine eight, hold on, I'm.
Looking for I just want to make sure and he's listening to us. Hi, Hi, Jared. So I don't know, what do you think? Who does he? Who does he? Yeah that's my grinder account. Yeah, that's exactly exactly right there Hinge. Also I'm on there too. Yeah, I'm all over the place.

Everybody's got what they want.
Yeah.
No, they had DJs all over the place.
So were the Silver Stream natural or was that all cultivating?
No?
I think you had you had to put yeah because it was a good look. Yeah, yeah it was. It did well. If I liked a beard, I would do something like that, But I don't.

Ship Fast and free back by free Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installations. Tire rack dot com is the way tire buying should be. No, wait a minute, you didn't say his name was Jabo Joan Jabo. Yeah, but he only says Jabo. I'm Jabo, j y Jabo b e a Yeah, Jabo, I'm Jabo. The number of times the people on the on the stations say their names is insane. It's like every every eight seconds, I have to say their name. It's really funny. Yeah, that's what you learn, like to pull the curtain back and raided. They always say, hey, make sure you're saying who you are as possible, so people know what they're listening to. Okay, well, you know things have We still do that because it's still important to do, but it's not quite as important as nine seconds have gone by. This is Jebo, I'm Jeba. But they still subscribe to that philosophy. They still subscribe to that. I mean, like I was Rachel Steele. I think, says their name like three times and in span of a minute, like and she goes.
Rachel Steele live from Cleveland, says Brian Adams. You know, in eighty six, Brian Adams was not as popular as he is now. Rachel Steele.
I mean, they all do, they all know, they all know the deal, they all know the deal. They all die. You say my name, say my name, say my name, same my name. Since I don't have x M yeah yeah, yeah, so listen to us. Then you get Keith throw out to your brother from another mother. Listen, just want to say alls we can do, is alls we can do. Here's Blue Murder. But you're going through all the ms. I'm like, Rachel Steele, I look.
Up Rachel Steele. That's not the Rachel Steele that you Yeah, okay, there there, we're not. There's escalating.
Quickly, look at the first movies that come up when this is a different rachels on the radio, because because I've looked it up before and I'm like, oh, a couple of Rachel Steeles. I knew that computer it was. It was your computer. I actually broke into your house and did it, and I left the search up so Abby could see it. Oh yeah, I was you. I was. I was like to do a converse. I searched, I searched, I searched that, and I searched nixt season tickets. That's what I got for you right there. Well those are free. Well I don't know, Lakers tickets might be free, because right now the Tea Wolves lead the Lakers twenty one to nine with five minutes ago in the first quarter, and it has been a night on the glass so far for the Tea Wolves, who just look like in a game where you figure the Lakers will come out with a lot of energy, want to try to put this narrative to bed, get a big positive win here, and with an exclamation point, they have come out slow. The Tea Wolves look like they're the team on the road that knows we can come in here and win. Not quite how I saw it, but again, this is why the game is four quarters and they don't play seven minutes. But really not the start I expected to see out of the Tea Wolves and the Lakers.
Yeah, the one cautionary tale thus far for the t Wolves. McDaniel's already with two fowls, but very aggressive and challenging every shot have been the t Wolves. So nothing coming easy for the Lakers.
How many fouls on Jabo? How many on jeebab Well.
For the fact that his name is Jabo? Yeah, yeah, Jo, there's no hyphen, there's it's one word.
That's problem. So this is gonna wind up being the biggest football story of the rest of the spring and the summer. The daily drama that now is taken up room in our heads with Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordan Hudson is absolutely insane. Right when they first jumped on the scene. You know the video of Belichick the ring doorbell. What's he doing with no Shirton? Oh he's oh, oh, he's seventy two and his girlfriend is twenty four? Okay, and it looks like something out of a Harvey Kai tell me it was, well, seventy two twenty four is that's like that's like that's like halftime of a Knicks game. So many points. So this this is a relationship we've been following, and now it certainly has come to and hit a new level of relevancy coming off the CBS News interview this past Sunday that aired where Jordan Hudson interrupted the filming of the interview a few times. At one point got mad, stormed out of the interview, stopped the interview for thirty minutes. This is all according to TMZ reporting this from CBS, and the questions that got to Bill Belichick that everybody was really eyes open about was when the reporter asked, Hey, how did you guys meet? And she said, we're not doing this, We're not answering that, and that was a big quest do you have something to hide? And Bill Belichick has since come out today say everybody knows how we met. It was just not a topic we were going to cover in the interview. So we had the initial fallout of the last couple of days of this. But wouldn't that have been easier to just answer that in the moment, of course it would have been. Of course, it would have been how did you meet? We met on the planet, like we know how we met. And then an email came out that Jordan Hudson released from Bill Belichick after the interview was done, which Belichick kind of talks about his disapproval of the interview afterwards. It was done a few weeks ago and it aired on Sunday. He was disapproved. He disapproved of it because he thought it was going to be about the book, and I told him it's got to be about everything in the book. He supposedly didn't like the question about not mentioning Robert Craft in the book, which kind of is a book question, and he said, Hey, this is not what we thought it was going to be. This is not what we were promised it was going to be. Now today we find out two more things coming off this interview, and that is one CBS says there was no conversation beforehand about sticking to the book, no parameters. We went into this, we want to interview, you talk about your life, wide ranging interview. There was no discussion of that. And apparently Jordan Hudson, according to reports The Athletic and New York Post, said that she was the one that put the end to the Hard Knocks because remember North Carolina was going to be the subject to Hard Knocks, and what an unbelievable show this would be this summer. It would be the most watched and football show, sports show of the summer. Be like the Last Dance again during the pandemic, like everybody want to see let me see this, Bill Belichick, what's going on North Carolina, what's up with him and his girlfriend? And supposedly she put the she put the final note to it for whatever reason. The two things I taken away from this to the two most shocking things about this story now, because there's a lot of things with with Belichick and Jordan Hudson, everybody's got their opinion is that I can't believe that he is AMZ darling. If you told me a year ago, Bill Belichick is going to be a TMZ personality that they follow around like Brittany or you know, any other big star that they want to follow around and get stuff like. Bill Belichick is now a TMZ darling. He is a gossip magazine, a gossip column, a page six story, which I can't love all the people in the world, I can't believe this is where he's at, that he has become a TMZ staple that they go to meetings in the morning. And what's his name that runs the thing? What's the guns guy's name that runs the thing? Harvey Harvey Harvey's Okay, what do we got We got anything from Brittany?
No?
Okay, Greg, we got anything on Cowboy Carter Tour? No, Okay, what do we got on Belichick or Jordan Hudson? What do we got? What do we got? What he got? What he got? What he got?
What he got?
What he got? We gotta have something. Well, I got this on on Beyonce and the chap she was wearing, no, no, no, I don't care. What do we got about Jordan Hudson and Bill Belichick?
Like this?
I did like Bill Belichick, who didn't ever want to talk to anybody, didn't never made every press conference seem like it was pulling teeth just to get him there. Always had a very sour approach towards the media. He's now a TMZ guy. He is a default page one of their browser when they get up in the morning. Let me do a search for Bill Belichick and see what comes up. He is a t MZ darling.
Which is funny because in the in the background of this and why and getting shut down and being attributed to his girlfriend is she seems to like the attention and the monies that have flown through all of this, Yet then it becomes operation shut down.
And we talked about.
The weirdness of the interview as it aired from Sunday morning, when I was doing the show with Dan Byer and Isaac lowen Kron played the first clip and looking around, going is this real? Or have we gone into an AI world? Because that's it's starting to look like a simulation pod person Bill Belichick to a degree, it's a it's one hundred and eighty degrees from the guy we knew in terms of control. The email that came out and you know the statement today, did that sound like it was issued by him?
No?
No, no, no, right, it's like, hey, read this, ve this or don't right CBS's statement. There were no preconditions or limitations to the conversation. Confirm repeatedly with his publisher. All right, So somewhere between the publisher, his assistant, Jordan slash girlfriend, and Bill Belichick there's some sort of disconnect. I just absolutely confused by by where we're at in this process. By by the way you did mention Brittany, I guess she was back on socials and opened up the comments because she wanted to hear what people's good. Idea don't look at your yeah, but all of that to say, yeah, this this is going to be NonStop day to day and it's far more interesting than any of these stories that you have and also just percolate in the background, because it is a guy that we've known publicly for how many years since he told the Jets to.
Be oh yeah, twenty five years? Twenty five years. Yeah, it's a long time. But that's the other part of this is that and this is the other part that just stuns me real. Not a lot shocks, but this shot. He's a TMZ guy and for someone who is the control freak that he has been his entire life, right, Like I remember hearing a story that he would have his long snapper practice snapping the ball that he would hit the crossbar on just in case they had to have a snap at some point in the game where he had to snap it out of the end zone. Right, Why I want you to practice by snapping and hitting the crossbar, Like that's what he would have got the control freak that Bill Belichick is, and he has given control of his entire persona, his entire both football and off the field. He's given it up to his girlfriend, like he's given up the control that he is. He worked his entire he didn't want any other voices. My word is the law. I'm getting things, and he has given that up here. He just decided he was tired and exacerbated later in life midlife, chrisiy like, there's a million questions I have off of this, and we can go down all sorts of rabbit holes. I'm not gonna I'm just gonna watch it on the surface and see how it plays out. Really, I still want that hard knock stuff it is. Oh, I'd love you know what I mean.
I mean, even when it was announced, you didn't find out within twenty four hours it wasn't gonna happen.
Like, boy, what to tease? You gotta find a way to make that happen. He really had to find a way to make someone.
Just gotta wear a you know, a pair of those glad the meta meta glasses or something around the facility and give us some of that detail. Exit out about a Fresco exit Swallen Dome, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Time Now to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports. So someone who's been called the JJ Reddick of Fox Sports Radio, she gets a question she doesn't like.
She walks out of an interview too. It's Monzi Belogna, absolutely absolutely. I also had a killer shot.
So that's what I thought you were going with, because he had a nice killer shot the timber.
I mean, oh, you mean on the basketball in I thought, like before you came to work tonight, I had a kill shot.
No, no, I mean you can assume that's a safe assumption.
Yeah, yeah, but no, I'm on the court.
I meant on the court. The Minnesota Timberwolves have come out swinging in this elimination game for the Lakers. They are up twenty seven to fifteen, but unlike the last game, JJ Reddick is already going to the bench. In fact, Maxi Kleiba is officially making his Lakers debut.
He has been out with the foot. He broke.
His foot had surgery, so he's been out. He's finally back on the court.
Up.
They are losing right now by fourteen points with about ninety seconds to go in the first quarter. You mentioned Jaden McDaniels already has two foul. SODA's Luka Doncic he also has two fouls under his belt as well. The Rockets keep their season alive with the one thirty one to one sixteen win over the Warriors in Game five, All five of Houston's starters ended in double digits, with Fred van Vliet leading the game twenty six points. He was the leading scorer of the entire game. There was a bit of a scuffle, right and all I'm gonna say is kerfuffle.
Yeah.
All I'm gonna say is the way alprin Shinngoon handled that shove is how most play. Did he flop, did he fall on the floor, Did he cry and look through his you know, fingers like Lebron did in that.
Photo that everyone has seen. None of that happened, guys.
He stood up and did not fall and was shoved, but he was He laughed about it, and that's how all players should handle it. In the NHL, well, the Capitals are headed to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs after outscoring the Canadians four to one. Alexovechkin did score on a power play. The Panthers eliminated the Lightning with the six to three win. Right now, the Jets are up on the Blues two to one after the first period and this series is tied at two apiece. In baseball, one game still going on for the day, the A's and the Rangers and they're tied at one apiece top of the ninth inning in Texas. The games that have wrapped up, the Brewers outscored the White Sox six to four. The Diamondbacks edged the Mets four to three. New York had a chance to tie maybe even when Diamondbacks held on the Blue Jays. They were down six zero at one point and came back to beat the Red Sox seven to six and ten innings, and the Phillies Kyle Schwarber had rerun shot.
They beat the national seven to two.
Well, the Cardinals beat the Reds in both of their games today that had a doubleheader. The last one was nine to one, while the Pirates edged the Cubs four to three. You mentioned it already, but a fan did fall from the twenty one foot Clemente wall in right field at PNC Park. This was right after they took the lead. The latest update is that the fan was transported to a hospital, but no other update beyond that.

Yeah, because that would get me out of bed in the second Shut that up. Someone screaming at you. I gotta shut that off. Keep it across the room. I'm gonna hit you. I can't have that happen. So a big move in the NFL today. One of the best wide receivers out there who really started to finally get to some of the potential he was when he got drafted in the second round by the Jets, Elijah Moore who kind of took off. He and Jerry Judy both when Jameis Winston got the gig second half of the year last year with the Cleveland Browns. Signs a five million dollar deal with the Buffalo Bills, and I got news for you right now. He will be their number one receiver. Okay, Isjah Moore is really talented?
You know.
You see the way that that Josh Allen likes to move the ball down the field. He's going to someone that lines up all over. He's going to be in the slot. He will wind up being their number one receiver.
It'd be fun to see him get back to what he was with the Jets where he actually had some downfield action. The last couple of years were possession receiver type numbers for him.
Yeah, he'll be at number one. He'll be a fez a fantasy right now. He's a fantasy sleeper. I'm telling you he will be because the Bills just have a bunch of guys. Now, how does this play into Phony of the Week? Oh yeah, wow, Wow. You remember a couple of days ago when Bill's GM Brandon Bean went on WGN radio in Buffalo and you're smiling because you know what I'm going to say. He goes on WGN Radio and Buffalo on Monday and it was just a big story was everywhere on Monday where he really took umbradge with what the hosts were saying about the Bills draft because they're saying, how do we not get a wide receiver? How do we not get we need a wide receiver? But yeah, you got Keon Coleman. That's great. But you kind of have a bunch of guys are hoping against hope that Dalton k and kid becomes somebody really good this year. It's kind of a put up or shut up year for a guy who thought was gonna be the next Travis Kelsey. So the Bill's wide receivers there just a bunch of guys and Brandon Bean was pissed and he went on the air and he said, hey, you got you guys. I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is this is ridiculous. He went on to see He went on to to really criticize and get very upset with the insinuation that the Bills didn't do the right thing when they didn't get a wide receiver draft. Yeah, b word like nineteen times wgr yeah, yeah, he said. He said, you know, you guys on the radio here, I get you have to do all kinds of uh you gotta have show content, but you guys are complaining about the wrong thing. This is ridiculous. And he went on to say, and here's my favorite part is that he went on to say how he didn't understand why they had the take they did. I don't get it. Right, thirty points in a row, eight straight games. I get why you asked it last year, but I don't understand it. Now. Look at what we've done last year we scored thirty points a game. And he was really upset about it. Right, Okay, So I get it, and we talked about the time. Hey, I get it because wide receiver isn't really a position they need to address. But the same time, you got to understand that people have show content, and we do the and hosts like us do the show for fans. You don't do the show for the GM. Don't do the show for the head coach, the show for the court. We do the show for the fans. So here you are. You want to go on the radio and insult the guys about getting a wide receiver, getting a wide receiver. Right two days later you go and sign a wide receiver from five million dollars. What a phony? What a phony. I'm gonna grandstand on the radio about our offense and what we did, and I can't believe you're gonna question my my decision making. You have me on the radio, I'll tell you what a bad take this is and a bad opinion that you guys have. And then two days later, I'm gonna go spend five million dollars on a wide receiver. What a phone, Brandon Bean is? Phony? F O N E Y phony?
Do you think he was walking around his house for the last forty eight hours thinking about what they had and saying, oh boy, you know they might have been right.
Maybe he's reading the message boards and people's responses.
But it goes back to phony. But he's able to pull the stats out of the air. Right, here's the you know, eight games, look what we did?
Whatever? What did it get you?
You still struggled oftentimes to make those plays happen, and it relied on superhuman efforts from Josh Allen and for Cook to stay healthy and be ultra efficient in red zone opportunities. Guess what the law of averages says that doesn't happen every damn here, that you need to find a playmaker. And yes, bringing in Palmer's a nice start. Coleman will take a step forward, but Kincaid. Can he stay healthy? I don't know, but yeah, getting an extra guy. You think we need one more? Yeah, you needed one more.
I get you. Guys gotta have something a blank about. But blanking about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments I've heard. Two days later, he goes and gets a wide receiver. That introductory press conference is gonna be wild. Phony.
F O n E.
What a phony he is? Phony. Coming up next, we get a big story out of the NBA Fox Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Don't forget. Right after our show is over, our best of podcast goes up wherever you get your podcasts from. Just search Jason Smith and Mike Harmon. Be sure to follow review the podcast rated five stars. Again, just search Jason Smith and Mike Harmon wherever you get your podcasts, and you'll find today's show and a best of version posted right after we get off the air. Well update from La Luka Doncic a hard foul by Dante DiVincenzo in the final minute of the first half. Luca was down on the floor was looked at by medical personnel. He limped off the court and they looked to see if it was going to be a flagrant foul. It was kind of a dirty hit by de Vincenzu kind of comes down with like an axe handle over Luca's shoulder. Luca Lance kind of on his knee, he reaches for his lower back. He hits the free throws and then leaves the court, walks to the locker room before halftime began. So we'll have an update on that as soon as we do. The Timberwolves lead the Lakers elimination game for the Lakers fifty nine forty nine, and maybe they're doing it without Luca for the second half. But joining us now, I'm a hot line for all the big news in the NFL. A man who actually spent most of the NFL Draft pranking potential NFL draftees that he was Andrew Luck calling him to congratulate them on their draft position. It's longtime NFL Insider thirty third team writer and Andrew Luck. Sound alike, Jason Cole, Jay Cole, what's happening?
Man?
I actually was out here first tempt Oh okay, all right, all right, you accept the money from Stanford because we're willing to spend billions out dis desperately to try and stay in college football. Would you accept that and bow out of the draft?
So you called, you called your door Sanders with that a bunch of times, got it?
We called se eight times. You know what?
You know what, what do you make? All these prank calls? And everybody got Sanders and Ty Warren and today Abdul Carter said he got a prank phone call about being drafted.
Second, it's been going on for a long time. I mean, this is not this is not really new, and it's but guys give out their phone numbers, and especially guys in college to probably give out their phone numbers to how many different women over the course of their college career. Yeah, like it's going to happen. Their numbers get around and people have access to this stuff all the time, and you know, it's I think it's stupid try people to do it, but yeah, it's going to happen, you know. I mean people have been doing prank calls for sixty or seventy years, so yeah, this just takes it to another level. But yeah, I mean I thought the punishment was appropriate for the Falcons and for Allbrick. I would say that if I was at Aulbrick, I would make my kid do ten thousand push ups in a week and playing dirty jock and socks during Falcons camp for like two weeks. I'd just say, Yeah, they had put food on your table and you decided to prank call umn, here's your punishment. Do you get to go do laundry for two weeks? Yeah?
I wonder what it's like in the Olbrick household the last few hours. One hundred thousand dollars, one hundred dollars.
A little chili, a little chilly. That's just it that way when your kid, when your kid, who doesn't have a hundred k is probably in college, costing you close to one hundred k to put him through college, taught you another one hundred k. Yeah, not happy.
Happy, You might be making a giant pot of chili because you could do that cost efficiently to stretch.
Jeff Olbricks story, which is I think that when he was coaching with San Francisco, maybe when he's playing, like Colin McGregor, came to a practice and told this story. Somebody told me this, and that he actually wanted to like offer to fight Colin McGregor. He just was like, I I'll fight him. I'll do it. Imagine that being you're you're now the son of the guy who wanted to fight Colin McGregor. What do you think your your life's like at home right now?
Yeah, that's a tough, tough way to go. Yeah, back when McGregor was a bad was one of the baddest men on the plane. Yeah. Ah, man, it's fighting Connor McGregor.
Hi, goodness, all bricks got him on size. I'd take all brick in that match, I've gotta tell you I would.
Yeah, I mean on the plus, on the plus side as you go through it, though, I mean, while it does include Shador, it did give us a topic that is in Shadoor or Bill Belichick out of the draft, you know, talking about protocols and stuff.
So we got that going for us.
It's so psycho it's unable. I'll be none of that. We're not talking about that. Well, no, not talking about that, like it's one of the most innocent questions in the world. Yeah, how'd you guys meet? Like seriously, if you're just cutting that thing completely off, like, what the heck is going on here? As whatever? Yeah, I hope you enjoys that because it sounds like it's going to be a really lasting relationship.
I can't. I can't get over jerr call for a guy who has been the control freak for his entire life, both on and off the field. I'm giving all my control away to my twenty four year old girlfriend. All of this stuff she's gonna describe to interview all like I'm giving away all this control.
Well, he does. One of the biggest problems is that the guy who used to do this for him isn't around anymore. So the Bear Shingerian with the guy with the Patriots who handled a lot of stuff behind the scenes for Bill and set it up and ran their fearence. And so Bear stayed in New England because that's where his family is, did not go to North Carolina with them. Doesn't he even want to be out of work for a year while Bill was waiting around. So she's taken She's taken over the job of a guy who you know, from a guy who did it before for Bill. Bill didn't have anybody else to step into that role, so she sort of volunteered for it. That I assume, And yeah, I mean god, I mean all of a sudden, it's like a female crazy eye killer, you know, like this is definitely out of the Larry David skip. That's what it looked like to me.
So we got that percolating in the background.
We'll see, uh and follow that coming out of the draft. H and any big takeaways from you in terms of the process and procedures. Were talking about Shador Santors. I want to applaud the NFL Society for not saying, well, we have to have quarterbacks one, two three, just because.
Now I love the I love the whole Shador Sanders Theater, like it's just tremendous and the people falling all over themselves trying to figure it all out. It's yeah, I can't say people to step back and go, yeah, the kids, the schruck like he's just the smuck, Like that's it, and it can't be muck and be a quarterback, Like you really can't treat your you know, everybody want to talk about Dion this It's like, no, the guys. Guy's just hard to deal with. And I love the idea of people talking about oh you sand bag interviews. But that was a really big topic way back at the combine, Like oh, he's going to stand bag certain interviews for teams he doesn't want to play for. Like that always works out against you, Like you're always stuff off in any situation. Interviewing the best way you possibly can. Now, if you want to stay to a team, like I don't want to play for you, you should say that. You just be honest about it and not stand bag the interview. You know you should. You should present yourself because you don't know where you're going to be four years from now or where some of the people who are in that room are going to be four years from now. So if you stand bag an interview and all of a sudden, some guy ends up on a team where you might want to be as a free agent, or you're struggling and you need to get a recommendation to get a job from that guy, it's like you weren't jerk in an interview, Now now you want to work for me? I mean, come on, I mean, who who thinks this is ever a good idea to standbag an interview? I mean, this is just idiotic stuff, and so just on you know, the thought process on the on the standards end of it, Like they got what they deserved on this one, they really did. Instead of being honest and saying, hey, look, I'll answer all your questions like you the best answer I possibly can, but I'm honestly telling you I don't want to play for you, and here are the reasons for it. Instead of manning up like that, he decides to do this other crap. I mean, it's just like it's like it's like eighth grade stuff. It really is like so immature, you know, I don't I don't know how Dion thought this was a good idea.
Well, he thought he had the power, like he's going back. Where is that tweet that came up from last year? My son's going to the top five. I got time for this today, Like he thought, I have the asset and we can do whatever we want to. And clearly he didn't have the asset.
No, he didn't have the asset, I mean, and the thing about it, he didn't adjust it. Like when his kid was playing a lot more like Jameis Winston and not the good Jameis Winston at Florida State. They playing like the bad Jameis Winston that we've seen, you know, in the last four or five years. He didn't adjustice and go, no, wait a second, my kid really maybe got to struggle to be in the first round, like didn't really adjust his thinking and wasn't real with his kid. And just yep, when you're as good as Dion, you can be as big a pain in the skin thereer as you want to be. And people are like, they'll get you know, they'll just go, look, you do whatever you want to do. You're that good, show up on Sunday. We don't care, Lawrence Taylor, you can be the biggest chrik in the world. But Parcels is going to tell Belichick, just get him to Sunday. Like that's what parcel literally used to do with Belichick. Get him to Sunday. We need him. We don't care about the other six days a week. Right Beyond the same kind of thing. Dam was a very serious football player, So I'm not trying to take that away from it. But he you know, was loud, and you know, was obnoxious, and you know, would talk and so he would do some things that would generally distract you. But he would fall out on Sunday. And he was generally a really hard worker. So he wasn't that big a problem child. But the presumption that his kid is that good man. That's just it, you know, no sense of reality, just none at all. And his kid is I'm better than a fifth round pick. I mean he really is. He's he should have been a second or third round pick. But the way that they've acted is just it is sort of anti quarterback's anti the way quarterback that's supposed to act if you're going to leave the team. So they got what they deserve the way this goes.
He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is at Jason Coles too. Is that what?
No, no, no, Mason Taylor questions, You've got you have the type dolphin on here now on the Jets go. He's a mixture of two Hall of Fame Dolphin players.
Yeah, that's great. This is year thirty seven in a row. I like the Jets draft. Now we see how it goes studio. Yeah, dude, Joe Douglas did. Joe Douglas did a bit with me after the after the show. He gave me a hug when I got to meet him last week the night of the draft. Yeah, he's a good dude.
How did you react? Did you did you hold back? Did you.
Well, well, I only got to meet him in the crossover the shows because he couldn't stay because he had to fly out. So I said, hey, can we do something for like and me? He said yeah sure, and I'm I'm wearing my Jets hoodie and I first thing I said to him is, hey, so, uh is this awkward? He goes, no, no, no, no, it's fun, not at all, okay, and then he gave me wait and then we hugged it. We hugged it out at the end. It was great.
But you weren't honest with him, like you didn't. You kept it under wrapt.
I told him, I told him what a great job he didn't drafting Garrett Wilson I had. I did, said one hundred percent.
I'm so proud of you.
He isolated that one guy. Yeah, so you can find it. It's all over Twitter. It's all over Twitter. Just to look Jason Smith, Joe Douglas. You'll see our meeting a lot of people standing in the hallway j Cole the entire time waiting for it to go wrong. Yeah, yeah, there was a Yeah, it was definite.
Uh I would have been agitating if you're laughing, Yeah, I would I would have definitely gone against my advice. And what a steering for the punch you or something.
Yeah. Well, here's the thing. When I met him and he stood up and I'm like, oh, he is a big dude, like Joe Douglas is a big dude. I'm like, oh, yeah, I would lose this in a second. And I would lose this a second.
That made your bike down quite a bit.
Hey, Joe, how you doing? Very nice to his arms as big as your head. J Cole is always buddy, Appreciate it.
Man.
We'll talk to you next week. I have a good one, you, buddy. Exit out out of Fresca Exit Swallen Dome, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon,
