Speaker 3 (00:50):
Now it's about four minutes left to go.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Still, the Mavericks on top of Oklahoma City sixty eight
to fifty six. Uh, Luca and the MAVs look at
it a three games to two lead in this series
on the road, and so far Luca twenty eight and eight.
He has shot really well. He has bounced back after
a really poor last game. Meanwhile, Shay Gilders Alexander twenty
(01:12):
points for Oklahoma City, and honestly, that's about it.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Mike Harmon's favorite players, chet Holmgrin and loud Dorter are
combined five for fifteen from the floor for sixteen points.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, not exactly getting it done.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I mean, lou Dort was the guy endorsed by Patrick
Mahomes that he could play in the NFL, So I
blame him. Yeah, he really embolden me to like loud
Dort that much more.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah for believing.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Mahomes just just really quick about this whole ridiculous at
Austin Rivers.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Thirty guys in the NBA can play in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Here's all I could do to curb everybody of that, right,
I just want them to line up one play full
pads where they get the ball or they're involved in
the play and they have to hit somebody or get hit.
All they gotta do is play one play and they'll say,
oh man, I'm going back to basketball. That's how quick
(02:07):
that would happen. Oh I could do it, I could
do it. I could do it. Yeah, because you haven't
taken a hit. You have not taken a hit and
they're all gonna be glass. All the guys in the NBA,
they all think they're wide receivers or tight ends, and
it's gonna be no one's gonna touch me, and I'm
gonna run by people and you are gonna get blistered
going across the middle.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Just one play.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Anybody thinks they could play a wide receiver, line up
and go across the middle, and just know all you
do is catch the ball and the play will end.
How the play is gonna end. You're gonna get tackled,
you're gonna get hit, and you're gonna say, Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm kind of done. I'm I'm kinda I'm kind of
done with that.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, here's here's a helmet, here's his shoulder pads on. Done,
But just go off the field and change. No, I
don't want you think I'm coming back.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Here you go, here's everything. I'm going back to the NBA.
I've I've had it with that. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, I think the big thing is to talk to
the guys that everybody keeps citing is the obvious examples
that went on to play tight end, and then they'll
chuckle about it. It's like, yeah, gotta be built a
little bit differently. And I'm not saying there aren't some
guys that are built aren't built like Mac Trucks.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
In the NBA led by Lebron and and whatever, his
training is.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That tonal thing is all he's doing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And good for him.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But the idea being that you know that many guys
suddenly had because these three four five guys whatever got
into the NBA or NFL as tight ends, that that
was some easy path. Come on, now, even even if
they don't do the traditional tight end combo of blocking
and catching, you're still taking an awful lot of hits
(03:36):
and giving.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Up your body.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah yeah, but but but I'm six four ten, I
feel pretty good.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah yeah. Like a guy like TJ. Hockinson is six four,
two fifty. You're a two hundred pound tight end. You
are gonna get split in half on the first.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Time you go over the middle, and the linebackers are
gonna go I actually did it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I separated a guy from the bottom half of his body.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Look at that. The legs are right there, the blood
is falling out. This guy's just lie on what just
happened to me? I mean, really, at NBA players. I
don't get this.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We think we're superman. We can do whatever you want to. Yeah,
one it just take one hit. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let's make this a show instead of the giants and
hard knocks.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm about you know, Look, we'll get to the giants
in the sun. But because I have to two big
stories out of the NFL. Look, schedule a lease day today.
And I want to tell you this. First of all,
I now know for certain that Aaron Rodgers will be
healthy all season long. And Mike, Mike, Mike me telling
you last night they're gonna beat San Francisco week one,
They're gonna win the division. This is a super Bowl
(04:35):
type year for the Jets. This is their year. Well,
roster is there? Rogers there? That's the big question, right,
Is Roger's gonna be healthy?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I will say this, I know that they expect him
to be healthy up into Thanksgiving. Not Thanksgiving, tell Halloween,
the aforementioned Halloween.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Holliday we were talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
By the way, anybody that's really going out for chaos,
you can you can wait till the NFL game's over
and still find plenty of marin in the wee hours
but they play what all but one of their primetime
games before Halloween.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Right, And here's how I know he's going to be
healthy because this real Look, the NFL put the Jets
on a few times last year, but they were able
to flex them out as the season went on and
understoodcause look, Rogers played four snaps and that was it.
So everything was everything turned out okay. But they put
them on so much in the first few weeks. All
these nationally televised games they're playing, they're playing in London,
(05:30):
they start on Monday Night football.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They open up at home on Thursday Night football. The
Jets are on national TV, the big national games. A ton,
a ton.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now here's where I use my transitive properties that I
like using so far in the show. The Jets are
on a ton in the first eleven weeks of the season.
Right now, it's they're not gonna flex out. They're not
gonna flex out.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Can't flex out that if down they will, anything's possible
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
The NFL would be screwed if Aaron Rodgers got hurt.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So you're saying there's a script.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Does the NFL ever really get screwed? They don't, So
by that transitive property. Rogers is going to be fine
because the NFL doesn't get screwed.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
If Aaron Rodgers gets hurt, the NFL is screwed.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Hence Aaron Rodgers will be fine playing all season for
the Jets. So it's good. That's how I know. Right there,
I know, I know he's gonna be fine. Right there.
I feel even better today. See in all these games
on national TV.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I feel great about that. I have questions transitive property.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I gotta see month blow and there's gotta be some
text exchanges or whatever. It's like you realize that you
have to kind of slide by Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You cannot hit him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I cannot guarantee he will go to the ground like
Brett farm did.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All those years ago. But I can't have you taken
him out instead. You think that's the memo going to
Bosa for Week one.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, I think it's gonna be more like this, Like listen,
we figured this out, Like you know in training camp,
when teams have the the joint practices and so the
quarterbacks don't get hit, when when a defensive player gets
really close he yells sack so he doesn't hit the
quarterback like that's what's gonna happen for Rogers. If you
get really close and yell sack and the official agrees
with you, they will blow the whistle.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And he just asked you officially.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, he's got to do the official Peyton Manning turtle move.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
He just have to yell sack and everything stuff. The
play stops right there the place.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well like that old those old toys, right, you press
the bottom of it and their legs collapse.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's what Peyton Manning used to do. It's like, oh,
but to get hit down.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I go, Jason, does your script have him running out
with the Russian flag?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Well, I don't know was that in the Uh in
any of the cartoons that were made by social media
teams today.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I saw some great flybys on them.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I just want to say this, dude, you don't
have to do every interview. Okay, you don't need to
do every single interview because you know, honestly, Aaron Rodgers
wants this smoke because he he wouldn't do all that,
He for all of it. Oh, I'm being I'm being
looked upon, being I'm being singled out. No, dude, you
want this, You go on podcasts that have like eight subscribers,
(08:16):
because they'll say, hey, whatever you want to talk about
your conspiracy theory is awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He goes, I'm a Tucker Carlson who's got a really
big audience on Twitter, and you do everything else. He
goes on there, and I said, Okay, this is gonna
be another one of those times. And here's this crazy
stuff he talks about, and I go, dude, you want
you seeking this out, So don't sit here and say, oh,
I'm a victim on this. You are seeking out the
attention because you want people to know about all these
things you believe, because you've read stuff on the internet. Right,
(08:43):
this is what you want.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You want.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
He said he needed a quiet off season.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Come on, you want this smoke, man, you want this smoke.
But I would just say, if I mean, what can
the Jets say? I would say, you don't have to
do every interview. Okay, you have to do everyone.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
You think he's doing a lot right now, and wait
till he's hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You don't have to.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh she gets hurt again, it's done plenty of time.
I mean, seriously, if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again, his
career is over. I mean, let's be honest with that.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
But she got Jordan Travis.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Buddy, he gets it. Dude.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
First of all, can I tell you hoppy, I am
to have Jordan Travis. I mean like, this kid would
have been a second round pick if he didn't get hurt.
And he's got a little bit of time to get
going to be the jets next quarterback.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I saw a lot of him play last year Florida State.
He would always bail them out. He was such a
good play. Remember I watch ACC football, so you don't
have to. He was such a good play. He was
such an underrated quarterback and if he stayed healthy all
the way through, I mean it, he would have been
a big time Heisman finalist. Look, Florida State got left
out of the playoff because Jordan Travis got hurt. That's
(09:40):
what everybody thinks of how good he was as a quarterback.
He got left out.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now I'm hoping he doesn't have to play this year.
He plays this year. That it's difficult, But mean, if
Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again, that's it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Well, but you're loaded the rest of your squads loaded.
You told me, Yeah, we got Trod.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Taylor, Will cut, he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
We got a guy that can actually complete a path,
don't have to worry about anything like like Wilson. Now
we'll be competitive. But for Aaron Rodgers, he gets hurt again,
like that's it. He has another injury like that, like
he's done. No one's gonna sign him. The Jets aren't
gonna give him more money to come back next year
because they've had him for two years. Again, they go
to a third year where hey, if he comes back
and he's healthy, I mean, he knows the next big injury,
(10:17):
that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
So I would hope that he's, you know, taking care
of himself as much as it is. And and look,
you know, does he really need to do That's but
that's the thing I would say, do you really need
to do every interview?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I don't know, Do I don't.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
It gives him a greater sense of purpose. I can't
deny him that. I can laugh at him. I can
admonish some of the thoughts espoused therein It's like, you know,
the Chargers doing their best in the post schedule release
scenes of the sims to cook Harrison, Butker, I mean,
there's a lot of guys that that deserve the incoming
(10:48):
and sought the attention.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Aaron Rodgers is one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
You don't need to, dude, just just you know, just
just hang out a bit, man. Just spend a day
doing something. Don't don't go on somebody's pot. Oh yeah, sure,
here's five minutes on the Jets, and then here's forty
five minutes on here's what I think happened in the
eighties with with the HIVV.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I mean, come on, man, now spin the wheel, Aaron,
what's the next topic.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
We did promise a little bit of the Giants, and
this was a big headline today as well. Part of
the NFL schedule release was that the Giants will be
on hard knocks, but not the hard knocks you're used to,
and not the same hard knocks that we've been getting
for the past few years. There is going to be
a regular summer hard Knocks that will chronicle a team
(11:38):
over the course of getting ready for games, right, just
like we've normally seen, but this is a special hard knocks.
It's an off season hard knocks, and it's centered around
the Giants and it's about their time from January to
July as they plan out their season. It's about the
off season. And when I saw this get announced, I said,
why would I ever want to watch this show? This
(12:00):
is the worst idea for a show, because so what
you're telling me is is a show about a football team.
There's gonna be no football. There's gonna be no football
and show about a football team. We're not gonna not gonna
see any football because it's it's gonna be about moves
in the off season.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And before you think this is gonna be any.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Sort of of of of compelling, oh, we're gonna get
great stories. This is when everybody loosens up. The Giants
never want to do hard knocks. John Mara said, We'll
do hard knocks when I'm in my grave. Like that's
when you'll say, but this hard knocks where it's not
about the practice, it's about the time between January and July.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Hey, okay, they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
How is suddenly the Giant's gonna be when they didn't
want to do it ever, Now they're gonna be suddenly
interesting And Brian Dable's gonna be telling all kinds of
crazy stories and we're gonna wonder if Darren Waller playing
is he not this is not interesting at all. Like
I see this and go, boy, I get that football
really can be compelling, but what what about the giants
off season something? You can't wait to see what they're doing.
(13:02):
You're not gonna see players get cut, You're not gonna
see conversations on the field between players.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
You're not gonna get guys miked up. This is gonna
be the most boring thing ever. And I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Understand how how they thought, yeah, we're we're gonna do this.
Like I understand that, Hey, maybe the model of Hard
Knocks as it exists now we only have a couple
of years left because nobody wants to do it. They
made the Jets do it last year. So if we're
gonna keep Hard Knocks going, and it's a big, you
know property for HBO, Hey, we have to branch out
and see what works. So we're throwing this out there
(13:32):
up against the wall and seeing what sticks. This saying
sticking to the wall. Watching the Giants on Hard Knocks
is like I I'd rather sit in my in my
in my den and just watch the sun go down
then watch the Giants on Hard Knocks. I can't see
how this is gonna be compelling or any but something
anybody wants.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
To watch at all. I just can't see it.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Well, you mentioned Waller was this inc before he and
Kelsey Plumb announced their divorce proceedings, because she would have
made that interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I mean, that would have been some good viewing.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Like, he's fumbled a lot in his career, but none
like that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
No, that's fumbling the bag right there. But but yeah,
there's there's nothing on this squad. Look.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I like Daniel Jones more than other folks. He's unfortunately
just had a couple of neck injuries now that leave
you wondering how often he's gonna be able to stay
on the field. Yeah, the performance in the first couple
of games wasn't great, but they never found their way.
And you can't tell me that that roster was loaded
for much of anything. A season ago, you had a
(14:32):
running back and a bunch of question marks running around.
So watching it this year, I mean, other than what
we're gonna watch dabling guys evaluating free agent tackles and
how they came to their.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Decision, I mean, is that really what we're doing?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Like, hey, watch the first step on this, you know,
drop back. He really anticipates this as well and really
pushes that the rusher to the outside, giving him a
nice clean pocket. All right, he gets a one.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That guy.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, he was a little slow out of his stance,
so that's a three. I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm gonna go take a nap. Oh you're going upstairs. No,
I'm gonna sit in front of the TV and turn
on Giants hard knocks. I'll be out like a lightning.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Like well, here's an episode of how we lost Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh wow, a story that happened
like months and months and month. The giants aren't gonna
give you all access to it, so it's not like
you're gonna get great behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
There's eight minutes of a phone just sitting there like
a you log with music in the background.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Exit al Vota Fresca, Exit Swollen Dome.

gonna be ridiculous. Yeah, looking week eleven, Week eleven, easy, easy,
(20:45):
Week eleven. You know, the only thing that you're going
to be looking forward to is more Aaron Rodgers on
Tucker Carlson. That's what you're going to be expecting for
the second half of the season. Oh, what's airing? Gonna
say on Tucker is he going to break the news
about whether he's coming back? Are you gonna do that
on the McAfee show. Which one is he gonna do
that on? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I just I just want to tell Aaron you don't
have to do every interview. That's all I want to do.
If I could tell him one, dude, you don't.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Know every interview. Please stop doing interviews. Stop.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Somebody asked Aaron a football question.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Please please ask him a football question.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Ask him about inflating or deflating the football, whatever, anything,
anything but this.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Say the word football. Please say the word Please.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Get him to defend Hackett for fifteen minutes. Do something.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The Jets are gonna be fine because I'm going to
use the transitive property that I've explained to Mike Harmon.
The Jets are on national TV, Big Game, going too
much in the first ten weeks, right, the NFL would
be screwed. If Aaron Rodgers thinks or he gets hurt,
NFL will be screwed.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
The NFL doesn't get screwed, Hence Aaron Rodgers will be fine.
I feel pretty good.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
The Jets of Stunkson's name and then nobody cares. Nobody.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
We haven't stuck. We have put to back to back
AFC title games.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Twelve. Chez, baby, let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I haven't been play.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
The Jets. The Jets can go one in sixteen. Nobody
will care.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
They might, and you sure they will.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Goodbye, dude, Just to stop because I know you're lying,
because I know how invested you are in the Aaron
Rodgers storyline that we all got robbed of last year.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Because it's an storyline.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
I will always say, like, I love watching Aaron Rodgers
through football. I love watching him playe quarterback. So to
that extent, yes, I am lying, but I am laughing
about the fact that he those interviews I Tucker Carlson Like,
when I see that pop up on Twitter, I go oh.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I say, oh no, not again.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And I cringe when I saw that on When I
saw that on on Twitter. When I see because people
put it in my timeline, I see Tucker Carlson's face going, Okay,
here's what we have tonight, and he moves the phone
and Rogers there with a cup of coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I just go, oh, great, uh great, great.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Hanson yesterday, Hey, I got a question for you. We
talked about it a little bit before Jason Colet do
in your in maybe a minute's time, make the Giants
compelling for an off season hard knocks?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Wow, nothing nothing as his electric as Brian Dable. Yeah,
and I like Brian. Brian's actually a good guy. You know,
he's he's easy to talk to. Like he's lost his
mind a little bit in the last last year or
so for reasons. But but Gable's a good guy. And
(23:50):
that's all I got for you.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
What do you mean he's lost his mind?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Like what like Like he's because he's still believes in
Daniel James, Like what do you mean.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Well, partly because he believes Daniel Jones, which for me
it was sort of forced to right like they were
they were betwixt in between, Okay, but it was all
that sideline antics last year. That's such a that's such
a double check assistant move. To do that is to
(24:22):
you know, do something to prove that you're actually a
great coach and that you know, like you have to
go into some kind of historyonics and it's like, d
just coach, Like you have a good resume. People, you
worked with Jalen Hurt, you made him better. You worked
with two or you made him better. You went up
(24:42):
and you know, did some great work with Josh Allen. Okay,
you finally ran into a quarterback you just can't fix. Sorry,
you know, like you're just not magic. Okay, you have
to go in and be logical, to go to the
team and say we can't do this and these are
the reasons why this is not going to work. Instead
(25:03):
of pretending like that there's something magical about you. If
you just start yelling and screaming and stomping your feet
and snarling at people, like your right tackle is not
getting any better. He was terrible last year, Like there's
no reason to yell at him. He's just awful and
just you know, move on from it. That's and he
(25:23):
went into that sort of nutso routine and like that
just doesn't work. Like that's that's you know, like you're
better off just being Belichick and go we weren't good enough,
we weren't good enough. You just do that and people
will respect that.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Editl Insider Jason call our guest the Jason Smith Show
with Mike.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
What do you want to watch with the Giants? What?
What do you think you want to with?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Nothing? I'd rather watch the sunset. What are we going
to do?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Wait a second, Actually we missed the best thing that
was announced. Forget the schedule, forget you know the things.
You know when the Jets are going to get eliminated from.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Maybe you've moved it up to ten.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I know it's it's limb.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
It's limbo that would be eliminate them in their bye week,
I think, or just just ahead of their bye week.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I'm just in love with sky Dance doing the story
of Jerry Jones. That's the one I'm like, and I
like John Weinbach is great. I really I love John Weinbach.
It's that sky Dance. But boy, this is going to
take some editing, pale because most of Jerry's not suitable
(26:38):
for for uh, for your average.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
When I sat down with the cruise fella, and I said, here, here, listen,
eighty eight percent of my life is off limits, all right,
So let's constraut the twelve percent of my life we
can use.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Just focus on the stuff that's good for the little kids.
Well that that only if men shows, sir.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
When I bought the catalo and we won the Super Bowl,
and let's fast forward to now, is he.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Which which character from some kind of silly movie or
cartoon disease? Is he Foghorn Leghorn? Or is he something
like Youford Tusser? Is he? Is he from what were
those Burt Reynolds movies when when the yeah Campbell? Is
(27:30):
he like a character from any of those? Or is
he just so unique? Because I kept thinking about the voice,
and the voice is sort of closer to fog Horn Leghorn.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, but little Charles Jurning esque. Now now you know,
you know he's close to I think he's close to Grew.
I think that's what he is in the Minions movie.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Grew.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
No, No, he's Grew with Foghorn Leghorn.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Okay, that's new.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Of them combined.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
That's a mashup. I would go see.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
See Steven's Kevin the Minion right here, case you can't see.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Right here, this is this state.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
Hey keep Jared Jones Jerry Jr. Away from the camp
Hey Jared June Junior can't do this. He's got that way. Yeah,
that's ok. Come on, there we go. And Charlotte Charler,

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Oh, he now hasn't act himself activated for Jerry Jones Impressions,
and he'll have a montage like all of the social
media efforts of teams. He's gonna have like his list
of how he would catch in a movie.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I saw the Brady Roast and everything was h was
part of what he wanted and that's great, and it's
the same thing for me, except uh, there's lots of things.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm gonna tell you we're not gonna cover, all right.
So so that's it. So you asked me a question.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
If I just kind of shake my head and go, uhh,
we're moving on to the next question, that's that's how
it's gonna go for this. And oh, by the way,
I have final cut because uh I can sit there
and have Steven operate the iPad for me and tell
you when I take things personally. So that's kind of
that's kind of my vision for the for the Dallas
Cowboys and in my life.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
In ten parts.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yeah, I'll actually watch that ten part beat some I
haven't watched much of the Belichick thing. Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I got bored with that pretty fast, Steven.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Steven sweped to the side, the iPad went dark, swept
to the side, so I can see what that. Yeah,
I'm taking that personally. Yeah, I took that personally and
that personally and that by Okay, yeah about that, Thanks Steven.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I appreciate it all right. That's great.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
The Jason Smith Show and my best friend Mike Harmon
coming up next, more of the NFL's schedule release Day.
What the NFL is doing that I absolutely love, plus
maybe a new idea that could be part of schedule
release day.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Keep it right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
here twenty eight seconds left to go. Dallas is gonna
take a three games a two lead over the Oklahoma
City Thunder. They lead at one oh three point ninety
two and are at the free throw line. We'll have
more on this game coming up in a few minutes.
Lucas on the bench kind of hanging out. So yeah,
Dallas one game away from the Western Conference Finals. Meanwhile,
(30:48):
today with the NFL schedule release day, right, couple of
things here. Number one, you know what I love the
NFL has done. It's almost like they listen to me, Mike.
How many times have I said, you know, you can't
keep putting Jacks Titans on Thursday Night?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You need better games nationally because you can't just put
anybody on anymore. You could for a while when Thursday
Night Football was new and Sunday Night Football was new.
Yet any games you put on people would watch. But
now we're snobs. Jags Titans is not a TNF game.
It's not a Sunday night game. And you see the
national schedule on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, it is filled with
(31:24):
better teams and better games because they know we have
to really bring it, and the partners want better games,
they're no longer to share with just getting anybody.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
But finally we're getting that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Now we're getting the better games on National TV Sunday nights,
Monday nights, and Thursday nights.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, the Thursday night thing, I mean a lot of
it became a It wasn't that the NFL was bad
on Thursday. It was always the host got the hate
for what, you know, like they didn't fight hard enough
for good games, they didn't pay enough for good games.
So it became the you know, hey, Fox Thursday Night
game is no good. The ESPN Thursday Night game is
(32:03):
no good. Not the NFL is putting bad product down.
They were always gonna skate through Scott Free because on
balance you love the product. But yeah, whoever was hosting
Thursday night got the residual hatred. It's like, oh it's
on that channel. Yeah it's gonna suck.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You're the ones that did it to me, You're the
ones that did it.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So, I mean, I love they've done that now because
they listen and they get that. All right, we can't
just throw anything out there and say hey, you'll watch it. No,
I won't anymore. Yeah, you're not gonna do.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It it's been good games on the schedule.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
There's some others that are well potentially true dogs, but
you know, again, you can't win them all.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
No, But mainly they've done they've done a great job
in putting as many good games as they can onto you.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
There's not a lot I can look at and go.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Oh, come on, seriously, that that's a Monday night game,
that's a Thursday night game. Though there's a lot less
because mostly every year it was always hey, we're putting
divisional games on which I'm like, okay, great, they're so regionalized.
You gotta get bigger games crosspecially like college football. Starting
to talked about Yeah, now here's the other thing, because
we talked about this a little bit last night, and
I'm wondering what it would be like to do this
(33:09):
and if we could make this part of schedule release day.
We joked around a little bit with Jason lock and
for about this last night. But could we with the
game when the games come out, have a list and
we have all two hundred and seventy two games to
rank from best NFL game of the year to the
worst NFL game of the year one through two seventy two,
(33:30):
Like how long would it take to do something like that,
Like how would take to say, hey, best game of
the year in the NFL all the way down to
the worst game of the year in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I think I could have that done by showtime tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I mean, because I look at rudimentary you just think, sure,
you just throw games at me week one and I say, Okay,
this game is better than this game. This game is
better than this game. This oh says hide by week one.
Now you throw the week two games and I go, okay,
this game is better than this one. This one's put
this game here, put this game here, but this game here.
So I don't think it'd be that big a deal.
I think it's something that would take a few hours
and you want to go over. But I think you
(34:03):
can do. I think you can rank one through two
seventy two. I don't think it's that that difficult.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I think we should kind of run through that exercise.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I mean we kind of have done it in the
past in just taking chunks of our respective schedules and
gone along the way. I mean, because as we look
at the schedules right now, all of our teams have
the opportunity to go seventeen and oh right, we don't
play each other to right, No, Jets, Chargers, Bears, Chargers Bears, Jets.
I mean I think this could happen.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yeah, but we're already getting some help. I don't know
if you know this or not, but I put this
out on Twitter, going how difficult would this be to do?
And already our buddy former odds maker at Caesars are
our insider in Vegas, Todd Ferban, is helping out because
he replied to me on Twitter by saying, the worst
game is Giants Panthers in Germany. You now have two
hundred and seventy one games to rank. So the bottom game.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
No one percent.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
I mean the Panthers outside of that game, they have
no standalones.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
The bottom game is who the Jets play Week two?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Stop with the Jet stop man, it's actually it's actually
Jets Titans week two, which I don't know how great.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Aaron, A horrible game?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
That would be that that would uh, that would be
something that would be a little difficult. Yeah, but all
the other games, all the other games are great. All
the other games are great. But yeah, so now we
have that that there's your worst game with you you
know it's sure.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Thanks to Todd for that. Yeah, I would concur we'll
start that. I'll start, I'll put to seventy two at
the top and will work our way back.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
You now have two hundred and seventy one games in
the rank. Is I could how.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Many more Panthers games find their way at the all?
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Man?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
How many Panthers in the bottom ten? Right? Like? Right?
How many in there?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
So?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
I think I think that's a few hour things. I
think that's something.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Where you do like three or four weeks, take a
break for a few minutes, do another couple of weeks,
take a break, do a week.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Take a break. Yeah, I could do that in a
few hours.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I think one through and then you want to look
at and go, okay, I am really sure that this
is where it should be. No, let's put this game
ahead here, Let's put this game here, put this game here,
and then you have one through two seventy two.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah, I like that. Let's go there. You go, man,
you know what, like we like.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
These exercises because it gets us to play with the
schedule a bunch. We start thinking about fantasy football, and
it gets you talking about something other than.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
The Jets for sure.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
How many Jets games in the top ten right now?
Eight seven to seven ninety nine? Fox, Should the Jets
have more games in the top down?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
You're talking about games law.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Get those callers activated.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Come on now, exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Still, the Mavericks on top of Oklahoma City sixty eight
to fifty six. Uh, Luca and the MAVs look at
it a three games to two lead in this series
on the road, and so far Luca twenty eight and eight.
He has shot really well. He has bounced back after
a really poor last game. Meanwhile, Shay Gilders Alexander twenty
(01:12):
points for Oklahoma City, and honestly, that's about it.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Mike Harmon's favorite players, chet Holmgrin and loud Dorter are
combined five for fifteen from the floor for sixteen points.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, not exactly getting it done.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I mean, lou Dort was the guy endorsed by Patrick
Mahomes that he could play in the NFL, So I
blame him. Yeah, he really embolden me to like loud
Dort that much more.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah for believing.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Mahomes just just really quick about this whole ridiculous at
Austin Rivers.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Thirty guys in the NBA can play in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Here's all I could do to curb everybody of that, right,
I just want them to line up one play full
pads where they get the ball or they're involved in
the play and they have to hit somebody or get hit.
All they gotta do is play one play and they'll say,
oh man, I'm going back to basketball. That's how quick
(02:07):
that would happen. Oh I could do it, I could
do it. I could do it. Yeah, because you haven't
taken a hit. You have not taken a hit and
they're all gonna be glass. All the guys in the NBA,
they all think they're wide receivers or tight ends, and
it's gonna be no one's gonna touch me, and I'm
gonna run by people and you are gonna get blistered
going across the middle.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Just one play.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Anybody thinks they could play a wide receiver, line up
and go across the middle, and just know all you
do is catch the ball and the play will end.
How the play is gonna end. You're gonna get tackled,
you're gonna get hit, and you're gonna say, Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm kind of done. I'm I'm kinda I'm kind of
done with that.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, here's here's a helmet, here's his shoulder pads on. Done,
But just go off the field and change. No, I
don't want you think I'm coming back.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Here you go, here's everything. I'm going back to the NBA.
I've I've had it with that. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, I think the big thing is to talk to
the guys that everybody keeps citing is the obvious examples
that went on to play tight end, and then they'll
chuckle about it. It's like, yeah, gotta be built a
little bit differently. And I'm not saying there aren't some
guys that are built aren't built like Mac Trucks.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
In the NBA led by Lebron and and whatever, his
training is.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That tonal thing is all he's doing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And good for him.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But the idea being that you know that many guys
suddenly had because these three four five guys whatever got
into the NBA or NFL as tight ends, that that
was some easy path. Come on, now, even even if
they don't do the traditional tight end combo of blocking
and catching, you're still taking an awful lot of hits
(03:36):
and giving.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Up your body.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah yeah, but but but I'm six four ten, I
feel pretty good.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah yeah. Like a guy like TJ. Hockinson is six four,
two fifty. You're a two hundred pound tight end. You
are gonna get split in half on the first.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Time you go over the middle, and the linebackers are
gonna go I actually did it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I separated a guy from the bottom half of his body.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Look at that. The legs are right there, the blood
is falling out. This guy's just lie on what just
happened to me? I mean, really, at NBA players. I
don't get this.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We think we're superman. We can do whatever you want to. Yeah,
one it just take one hit. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let's make this a show instead of the giants and
hard knocks.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm about you know, Look, we'll get to the giants
in the sun. But because I have to two big
stories out of the NFL. Look, schedule a lease day today.
And I want to tell you this. First of all,
I now know for certain that Aaron Rodgers will be
healthy all season long. And Mike, Mike, Mike me telling
you last night they're gonna beat San Francisco week one,
They're gonna win the division. This is a super Bowl
(04:35):
type year for the Jets. This is their year. Well,
roster is there? Rogers there? That's the big question, right,
Is Roger's gonna be healthy?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I will say this, I know that they expect him
to be healthy up into Thanksgiving. Not Thanksgiving, tell Halloween,
the aforementioned Halloween.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Holliday we were talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
By the way, anybody that's really going out for chaos,
you can you can wait till the NFL game's over
and still find plenty of marin in the wee hours
but they play what all but one of their primetime
games before Halloween.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Right, And here's how I know he's going to be
healthy because this real Look, the NFL put the Jets
on a few times last year, but they were able
to flex them out as the season went on and
understoodcause look, Rogers played four snaps and that was it.
So everything was everything turned out okay. But they put
them on so much in the first few weeks. All
these nationally televised games they're playing, they're playing in London,
(05:30):
they start on Monday Night football.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They open up at home on Thursday Night football. The
Jets are on national TV, the big national games. A ton,
a ton.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now here's where I use my transitive properties that I
like using so far in the show. The Jets are
on a ton in the first eleven weeks of the season.
Right now, it's they're not gonna flex out. They're not
gonna flex out.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Can't flex out that if down they will, anything's possible
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
The NFL would be screwed if Aaron Rodgers got hurt.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So you're saying there's a script.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Does the NFL ever really get screwed? They don't, So
by that transitive property. Rogers is going to be fine
because the NFL doesn't get screwed.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
If Aaron Rodgers gets hurt, the NFL is screwed.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Hence Aaron Rodgers will be fine playing all season for
the Jets. So it's good. That's how I know. Right there,
I know, I know he's gonna be fine. Right there.
I feel even better today. See in all these games
on national TV.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I feel great about that. I have questions transitive property.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I gotta see month blow and there's gotta be some
text exchanges or whatever. It's like you realize that you
have to kind of slide by Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You cannot hit him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I cannot guarantee he will go to the ground like
Brett farm did.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All those years ago. But I can't have you taken
him out instead. You think that's the memo going to
Bosa for Week one.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, I think it's gonna be more like this, Like listen,
we figured this out, Like you know in training camp,
when teams have the the joint practices and so the
quarterbacks don't get hit, when when a defensive player gets
really close he yells sack so he doesn't hit the
quarterback like that's what's gonna happen for Rogers. If you
get really close and yell sack and the official agrees
with you, they will blow the whistle.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And he just asked you officially.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, he's got to do the official Peyton Manning turtle move.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
He just have to yell sack and everything stuff. The
play stops right there the place.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well like that old those old toys, right, you press
the bottom of it and their legs collapse.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's what Peyton Manning used to do. It's like, oh,
but to get hit down.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I go, Jason, does your script have him running out
with the Russian flag?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Well, I don't know was that in the Uh in
any of the cartoons that were made by social media
teams today.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I saw some great flybys on them.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I just want to say this, dude, you don't
have to do every interview. Okay, you don't need to
do every single interview because you know, honestly, Aaron Rodgers
wants this smoke because he he wouldn't do all that,
He for all of it. Oh, I'm being I'm being
looked upon, being I'm being singled out. No, dude, you
want this, You go on podcasts that have like eight subscribers,
(08:16):
because they'll say, hey, whatever you want to talk about
your conspiracy theory is awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He goes, I'm a Tucker Carlson who's got a really
big audience on Twitter, and you do everything else. He
goes on there, and I said, Okay, this is gonna
be another one of those times. And here's this crazy
stuff he talks about, and I go, dude, you want
you seeking this out, So don't sit here and say, oh,
I'm a victim on this. You are seeking out the
attention because you want people to know about all these
things you believe, because you've read stuff on the internet. Right,
(08:43):
this is what you want.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You want.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
He said he needed a quiet off season.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Come on, you want this smoke, man, you want this smoke.
But I would just say, if I mean, what can
the Jets say? I would say, you don't have to
do every interview. Okay, you have to do everyone.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
You think he's doing a lot right now, and wait
till he's hurt.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You don't have to.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh she gets hurt again, it's done plenty of time.
I mean, seriously, if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again, his
career is over. I mean, let's be honest with that.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
But she got Jordan Travis.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Buddy, he gets it. Dude.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
First of all, can I tell you hoppy, I am
to have Jordan Travis. I mean like, this kid would
have been a second round pick if he didn't get hurt.
And he's got a little bit of time to get
going to be the jets next quarterback.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I saw a lot of him play last year Florida State.
He would always bail them out. He was such a
good play. Remember I watch ACC football, so you don't
have to. He was such a good play. He was
such an underrated quarterback and if he stayed healthy all
the way through, I mean it, he would have been
a big time Heisman finalist. Look, Florida State got left
out of the playoff because Jordan Travis got hurt. That's
(09:40):
what everybody thinks of how good he was as a quarterback.
He got left out.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now I'm hoping he doesn't have to play this year.
He plays this year. That it's difficult, But mean, if
Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again, that's it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Well, but you're loaded the rest of your squads loaded.
You told me, Yeah, we got Trod.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Taylor, Will cut, he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
We got a guy that can actually complete a path,
don't have to worry about anything like like Wilson. Now
we'll be competitive. But for Aaron Rodgers, he gets hurt again,
like that's it. He has another injury like that, like
he's done. No one's gonna sign him. The Jets aren't
gonna give him more money to come back next year
because they've had him for two years. Again, they go
to a third year where hey, if he comes back
and he's healthy, I mean, he knows the next big injury,
(10:17):
that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
So I would hope that he's, you know, taking care
of himself as much as it is. And and look,
you know, does he really need to do That's but
that's the thing I would say, do you really need
to do every interview?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I don't know, Do I don't.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
It gives him a greater sense of purpose. I can't
deny him that. I can laugh at him. I can
admonish some of the thoughts espoused therein It's like, you know,
the Chargers doing their best in the post schedule release
scenes of the sims to cook Harrison, Butker, I mean,
there's a lot of guys that that deserve the incoming
(10:48):
and sought the attention.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Aaron Rodgers is one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
You don't need to, dude, just just you know, just
just hang out a bit, man. Just spend a day
doing something. Don't don't go on somebody's pot. Oh yeah, sure,
here's five minutes on the Jets, and then here's forty
five minutes on here's what I think happened in the
eighties with with the HIVV.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I mean, come on, man, now spin the wheel, Aaron,
what's the next topic.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
We did promise a little bit of the Giants, and
this was a big headline today as well. Part of
the NFL schedule release was that the Giants will be
on hard knocks, but not the hard knocks you're used to,
and not the same hard knocks that we've been getting
for the past few years. There is going to be
a regular summer hard Knocks that will chronicle a team
(11:38):
over the course of getting ready for games, right, just
like we've normally seen, but this is a special hard knocks.
It's an off season hard knocks, and it's centered around
the Giants and it's about their time from January to
July as they plan out their season. It's about the
off season. And when I saw this get announced, I said,
why would I ever want to watch this show? This
(12:00):
is the worst idea for a show, because so what
you're telling me is is a show about a football team.
There's gonna be no football. There's gonna be no football
and show about a football team. We're not gonna not gonna
see any football because it's it's gonna be about moves
in the off season.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And before you think this is gonna be any.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Sort of of of of compelling, oh, we're gonna get
great stories. This is when everybody loosens up. The Giants
never want to do hard knocks. John Mara said, We'll
do hard knocks when I'm in my grave. Like that's
when you'll say, but this hard knocks where it's not
about the practice, it's about the time between January and July.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Hey, okay, they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
How is suddenly the Giant's gonna be when they didn't
want to do it ever, Now they're gonna be suddenly
interesting And Brian Dable's gonna be telling all kinds of
crazy stories and we're gonna wonder if Darren Waller playing
is he not this is not interesting at all. Like
I see this and go, boy, I get that football
really can be compelling, but what what about the giants
off season something? You can't wait to see what they're doing.
(13:02):
You're not gonna see players get cut, You're not gonna
see conversations on the field between players.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
You're not gonna get guys miked up. This is gonna
be the most boring thing ever. And I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Understand how how they thought, yeah, we're we're gonna do this.
Like I understand that, Hey, maybe the model of Hard
Knocks as it exists now we only have a couple
of years left because nobody wants to do it. They
made the Jets do it last year. So if we're
gonna keep Hard Knocks going, and it's a big, you
know property for HBO, Hey, we have to branch out
and see what works. So we're throwing this out there
(13:32):
up against the wall and seeing what sticks. This saying
sticking to the wall. Watching the Giants on Hard Knocks
is like I I'd rather sit in my in my
in my den and just watch the sun go down
then watch the Giants on Hard Knocks. I can't see
how this is gonna be compelling or any but something
anybody wants.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
To watch at all. I just can't see it.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Well, you mentioned Waller was this inc before he and
Kelsey Plumb announced their divorce proceedings, because she would have
made that interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I mean, that would have been some good viewing.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Like, he's fumbled a lot in his career, but none
like that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
No, that's fumbling the bag right there. But but yeah,
there's there's nothing on this squad. Look.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I like Daniel Jones more than other folks. He's unfortunately
just had a couple of neck injuries now that leave
you wondering how often he's gonna be able to stay
on the field. Yeah, the performance in the first couple
of games wasn't great, but they never found their way.
And you can't tell me that that roster was loaded
for much of anything. A season ago, you had a
(14:32):
running back and a bunch of question marks running around.
So watching it this year, I mean, other than what
we're gonna watch dabling guys evaluating free agent tackles and
how they came to their.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Decision, I mean, is that really what we're doing?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Like, hey, watch the first step on this, you know,
drop back. He really anticipates this as well and really
pushes that the rusher to the outside, giving him a
nice clean pocket. All right, he gets a one.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That guy.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, he was a little slow out of his stance,
so that's a three. I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm gonna go take a nap. Oh you're going upstairs. No,
I'm gonna sit in front of the TV and turn
on Giants hard knocks. I'll be out like a lightning.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Like well, here's an episode of how we lost Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh wow, a story that happened
like months and months and month. The giants aren't gonna
give you all access to it, so it's not like
you're gonna get great behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
There's eight minutes of a phone just sitting there like
a you log with music in the background.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Let's see you off here. But I have a new game.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I have the game. Okay, what week do the Jets
get eliminated?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Let's go through the schedule.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Let's say ANFC Championship game.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Maybe week nine. I'm thinking, you know, we week nine.
It's like it's like a perfect game pool where they
picked the inning where you lose the perfect game of
the no hitters. Know, it's kind of a pool. So
let's you know, starting like week starting week nine and
work your way forward kind of thing. And so I'm
(19:24):
going week eleven, Week eleven. About your opinions. You don't
have Hall of Fame opinion.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You have very good opinions I have already there.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
I don't care. Don't care about your opinions. I don't care.
I just don't care. You can say them during your time,
not during my time. During my time, we talk about
my thing. Okay, we're having some food, that's what we're
doing right here. Okay, and we're talking about the Jets
and when they're gonna get eliminated. We'll talk about the
first five weeks. You get no favors. You know, short
(20:01):
week right off the bat, you know, opening San Francisco,
go to go to Tennessee, and then after you have
two road games within seven days. Let's go ahead and
play a Thursday night game. That's classic. Okay, you know what,
what's what's the week five game? I'm trying to think
of what's Week five.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
At Minnesota, that's at Tottenham?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Stout.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Let let's go in a five week stretch. Let's go
from San Francisco Europe. This is gonna be great. These
guys are going to just be so worn out, it's
gonna be ridiculous. Yeah, looking week eleven, Week eleven, easy, easy,
(20:45):
Week eleven. You know, the only thing that you're going
to be looking forward to is more Aaron Rodgers on
Tucker Carlson. That's what you're going to be expecting for
the second half of the season. Oh, what's airing? Gonna
say on Tucker is he going to break the news
about whether he's coming back? Are you gonna do that
on the McAfee show. Which one is he gonna do
that on? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I just I just want to tell Aaron you don't
have to do every interview. That's all I want to do.
If I could tell him one, dude, you don't.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Know every interview. Please stop doing interviews. Stop.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Somebody asked Aaron a football question.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Please please ask him a football question.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Ask him about inflating or deflating the football, whatever, anything,
anything but this.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Say the word football. Please say the word Please.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Get him to defend Hackett for fifteen minutes. Do something.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The Jets are gonna be fine because I'm going to
use the transitive property that I've explained to Mike Harmon.
The Jets are on national TV, Big Game, going too
much in the first ten weeks, right, the NFL would
be screwed. If Aaron Rodgers thinks or he gets hurt,
NFL will be screwed.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
The NFL doesn't get screwed, Hence Aaron Rodgers will be fine.
I feel pretty good.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
The Jets of Stunkson's name and then nobody cares. Nobody.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
We haven't stuck. We have put to back to back
AFC title games.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Twelve. Chez, baby, let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I haven't been play.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
The Jets. The Jets can go one in sixteen. Nobody
will care.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
They might, and you sure they will.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Goodbye, dude, Just to stop because I know you're lying,
because I know how invested you are in the Aaron
Rodgers storyline that we all got robbed of last year.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Because it's an storyline.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
I will always say, like, I love watching Aaron Rodgers
through football. I love watching him playe quarterback. So to
that extent, yes, I am lying, but I am laughing
about the fact that he those interviews I Tucker Carlson Like,
when I see that pop up on Twitter, I go oh.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I say, oh no, not again.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And I cringe when I saw that on When I
saw that on on Twitter. When I see because people
put it in my timeline, I see Tucker Carlson's face going, Okay,
here's what we have tonight, and he moves the phone
and Rogers there with a cup of coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I just go, oh, great, uh great, great.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Hanson yesterday, Hey, I got a question for you. We
talked about it a little bit before Jason Colet do
in your in maybe a minute's time, make the Giants
compelling for an off season hard knocks?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Wow, nothing nothing as his electric as Brian Dable. Yeah,
and I like Brian. Brian's actually a good guy. You know,
he's he's easy to talk to. Like he's lost his
mind a little bit in the last last year or
so for reasons. But but Gable's a good guy. And
(23:50):
that's all I got for you.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
What do you mean he's lost his mind?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Like what like Like he's because he's still believes in
Daniel James, Like what do you mean.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Well, partly because he believes Daniel Jones, which for me
it was sort of forced to right like they were
they were betwixt in between, Okay, but it was all
that sideline antics last year. That's such a that's such
a double check assistant move. To do that is to
(24:22):
you know, do something to prove that you're actually a
great coach and that you know, like you have to
go into some kind of historyonics and it's like, d
just coach, Like you have a good resume. People, you
worked with Jalen Hurt, you made him better. You worked
with two or you made him better. You went up
(24:42):
and you know, did some great work with Josh Allen. Okay,
you finally ran into a quarterback you just can't fix. Sorry,
you know, like you're just not magic. Okay, you have
to go in and be logical, to go to the
team and say we can't do this and these are
the reasons why this is not going to work. Instead
(25:03):
of pretending like that there's something magical about you. If
you just start yelling and screaming and stomping your feet
and snarling at people, like your right tackle is not
getting any better. He was terrible last year, Like there's
no reason to yell at him. He's just awful and
just you know, move on from it. That's and he
(25:23):
went into that sort of nutso routine and like that
just doesn't work. Like that's that's you know, like you're
better off just being Belichick and go we weren't good enough,
we weren't good enough. You just do that and people
will respect that.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Editl Insider Jason call our guest the Jason Smith Show
with Mike.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
What do you want to watch with the Giants? What?
What do you think you want to with?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Nothing? I'd rather watch the sunset. What are we going
to do?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Wait a second, Actually we missed the best thing that
was announced. Forget the schedule, forget you know the things.
You know when the Jets are going to get eliminated from.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Maybe you've moved it up to ten.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I know it's it's limb.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
It's limbo that would be eliminate them in their bye week,
I think, or just just ahead of their bye week.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I'm just in love with sky Dance doing the story
of Jerry Jones. That's the one I'm like, and I
like John Weinbach is great. I really I love John Weinbach.
It's that sky Dance. But boy, this is going to
take some editing, pale because most of Jerry's not suitable
(26:38):
for for uh, for your average.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
When I sat down with the cruise fella, and I said, here, here, listen,
eighty eight percent of my life is off limits, all right,
So let's constraut the twelve percent of my life we
can use.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Just focus on the stuff that's good for the little kids.
Well that that only if men shows, sir.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
When I bought the catalo and we won the Super Bowl,
and let's fast forward to now, is he.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Which which character from some kind of silly movie or
cartoon disease? Is he Foghorn Leghorn? Or is he something
like Youford Tusser? Is he? Is he from what were
those Burt Reynolds movies when when the yeah Campbell? Is
(27:30):
he like a character from any of those? Or is
he just so unique? Because I kept thinking about the voice,
and the voice is sort of closer to fog Horn Leghorn.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, but little Charles Jurning esque. Now now you know,
you know he's close to I think he's close to Grew.
I think that's what he is in the Minions movie.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Grew.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
No, No, he's Grew with Foghorn Leghorn.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Okay, that's new.

I'm gonna tell you we're not gonna cover, all right.
So so that's it. So you asked me a question.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
If I just kind of shake my head and go, uhh,
we're moving on to the next question, that's that's how
it's gonna go for this. And oh, by the way,
I have final cut because uh I can sit there
and have Steven operate the iPad for me and tell
you when I take things personally. So that's kind of
that's kind of my vision for the for the Dallas
Cowboys and in my life.

Steven sweped to the side, the iPad went dark, swept
to the side, so I can see what that. Yeah,
I'm taking that personally. Yeah, I took that personally and

Speaker 1 (29:58):
The Jason Smith Show and my best friend Mike Harmon

What the NFL is doing that I absolutely love, plus
maybe a new idea that could be part of schedule
release day.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Keep it right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (30:24):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
here twenty eight seconds left to go. Dallas is gonna
take a three games a two lead over the Oklahoma
City Thunder. They lead at one oh three point ninety
two and are at the free throw line. We'll have
more on this game coming up in a few minutes.
Lucas on the bench kind of hanging out. So yeah,
Dallas one game away from the Western Conference Finals. Meanwhile,
(30:48):
today with the NFL schedule release day, right, couple of
things here. Number one, you know what I love the
NFL has done. It's almost like they listen to me, Mike.
How many times have I said, you know, you can't
keep putting Jacks Titans on Thursday Night?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You need better games nationally because you can't just put
anybody on anymore. You could for a while when Thursday
Night Football was new and Sunday Night Football was new.
Yet any games you put on people would watch. But
now we're snobs. Jags Titans is not a TNF game.
It's not a Sunday night game. And you see the
national schedule on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, it is filled with
(31:24):
better teams and better games because they know we have
to really bring it, and the partners want better games,
they're no longer to share with just getting anybody.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
But finally we're getting that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Now we're getting the better games on National TV Sunday nights,
Monday nights, and Thursday nights.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, the Thursday night thing, I mean a lot of
it became a It wasn't that the NFL was bad
on Thursday. It was always the host got the hate
for what, you know, like they didn't fight hard enough
for good games, they didn't pay enough for good games.
So it became the you know, hey, Fox Thursday Night
game is no good. The ESPN Thursday Night game is
(32:03):
no good. Not the NFL is putting bad product down.
They were always gonna skate through Scott Free because on
balance you love the product. But yeah, whoever was hosting
Thursday night got the residual hatred. It's like, oh it's
on that channel. Yeah it's gonna suck.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You're the ones that did it to me, You're the
ones that did it.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So, I mean, I love they've done that now because
they listen and they get that. All right, we can't
just throw anything out there and say hey, you'll watch it. No,
I won't anymore. Yeah, you're not gonna do.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It it's been good games on the schedule.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
There's some others that are well potentially true dogs, but
you know, again, you can't win them all.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
No, But mainly they've done they've done a great job
in putting as many good games as they can onto you.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
There's not a lot I can look at and go.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Oh, come on, seriously, that that's a Monday night game,
that's a Thursday night game. Though there's a lot less
because mostly every year it was always hey, we're putting
divisional games on which I'm like, okay, great, they're so regionalized.
You gotta get bigger games crosspecially like college football. Starting
to talked about Yeah, now here's the other thing, because
we talked about this a little bit last night, and
I'm wondering what it would be like to do this
(33:09):
and if we could make this part of schedule release day.
We joked around a little bit with Jason lock and
for about this last night. But could we with the
game when the games come out, have a list and
we have all two hundred and seventy two games to
rank from best NFL game of the year to the
worst NFL game of the year one through two seventy two,
(33:30):
Like how long would it take to do something like that,
Like how would take to say, hey, best game of
the year in the NFL all the way down to
the worst game of the year in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I think I could have that done by showtime tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I mean, because I look at rudimentary you just think, sure,
you just throw games at me week one and I say, Okay,
this game is better than this game. This game is
better than this game. This oh says hide by week one.
Now you throw the week two games and I go, okay,
this game is better than this one. This one's put
this game here, put this game here, but this game here.
So I don't think it'd be that big a deal.
I think it's something that would take a few hours
and you want to go over. But I think you
(34:03):
can do. I think you can rank one through two
seventy two. I don't think it's that that difficult.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I think we should kind of run through that exercise.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I mean we kind of have done it in the
past in just taking chunks of our respective schedules and
gone along the way. I mean, because as we look
at the schedules right now, all of our teams have
the opportunity to go seventeen and oh right, we don't
play each other to right, No, Jets, Chargers, Bears, Chargers Bears, Jets.
I mean I think this could happen.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yeah, but we're already getting some help. I don't know
if you know this or not, but I put this
out on Twitter, going how difficult would this be to do?
And already our buddy former odds maker at Caesars are
our insider in Vegas, Todd Ferban, is helping out because
he replied to me on Twitter by saying, the worst
game is Giants Panthers in Germany. You now have two
hundred and seventy one games to rank. So the bottom game.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
No one percent.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
I mean the Panthers outside of that game, they have
no standalones.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
The bottom game is who the Jets play Week two?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Stop with the Jet stop man, it's actually it's actually
Jets Titans week two, which I don't know how great.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Aaron, A horrible game?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
That would be that that would uh, that would be
something that would be a little difficult. Yeah, but all
the other games, all the other games are great. All
the other games are great. But yeah, so now we
have that that there's your worst game with you you
know it's sure.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Thanks to Todd for that. Yeah, I would concur we'll
start that. I'll start, I'll put to seventy two at
the top and will work our way back.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
You now have two hundred and seventy one games in
the rank. Is I could how.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Many more Panthers games find their way at the all?
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Man?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
How many Panthers in the bottom ten? Right? Like? Right?
How many in there?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
So?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
I think I think that's a few hour things. I
think that's something.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Where you do like three or four weeks, take a
break for a few minutes, do another couple of weeks,
take a break, do a week.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Take a break. Yeah, I could do that in a
few hours.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I think one through and then you want to look
at and go, okay, I am really sure that this
is where it should be. No, let's put this game
ahead here, Let's put this game here, put this game here,
and then you have one through two seventy two.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah, I like that. Let's go there. You go, man,
you know what, like we like.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
These exercises because it gets us to play with the
schedule a bunch. We start thinking about fantasy football, and
it gets you talking about something other than.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
The Jets for sure.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
How many Jets games in the top ten right now?
Eight seven to seven ninety nine? Fox, Should the Jets
have more games in the top down?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
You're talking about games law.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Get those callers activated.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Come on now, exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing
down The Jason Smith Show is my best friend, Mike Harmon,
We got more NFL on the way, but straight ahead.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
