Speaker 1 (01:03):
I know. Look, every year an NL e's team is

That's how it goes. Sorry, Buddy Greason, you just saw
Zach Wilson play Sunday. This doesn't hurt at all. I'm

I got big ass shoulders, Man, I got shoulders. I
got like David Robinson's shoulders. Man, I got like big
(01:25):
shoulders because I shoulder everything with my teams the last
few years.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Do you have the sleeveless shirt on so you could
show those off? Because no, no, no, no no, you're scared
of the development.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No no, no guns out there getting a little getting
a little chillier in La the last couple of days,
you know, now wearing you know, a full T shirt,
not not a cutoff T shirt. So it's a little
bit chillier now, so you maybe have to put the cutoffs,
maybe have to put the put the guns away for
a while. You put the guns away, but the guns
under wraps for.

Before we get into all the big NFL drama of
(02:14):
the day, the Jets avenue quarterback Mac Jones definitively hit
Sauce Gardner in the groin. Everybody still hate Sean Payton,
Oh yeah, yeah, But we say this sometimes and sometimes
it means a little bit more than others. The passing
of an absolute legend. Today, the greatest third baseman who
ever played the game passes away at the age of
(02:35):
eighty six. Brooks Robinson, Hall of Famer, who set the
bar so incredibly high for anybody whoever wanted to play
third base. You will forever be compared to him, and
no one will ever be as good as him. The
sixteen straight gold Gloves the most ever except for Greg
Maddox who won eighteen straight as a pitcher, but a
(02:55):
little bit more demand at third base than a pitcher.
And Brooks Robinson, who was one of the big Titans
and legends of the game. We say farewell to him
at the age of eighty six. And look, I still remember,
you know, when I became a baseball fan, like when
I was in you know, seventy four seventy five, started
going to baseball camps, and when I was seventy in
seventy six, seventy seven, when I was young, and they
used to show all the highlights of all the World series,
(03:18):
like afternoon was always film time, and we got to
watch like the MLB Productions World Series, like we got
to see like the you know, the edited version of
the World Series. And I remember seeing I remember, I
still remember the first time seeing the nineteen seventy World
Series that Brooks Robinson made defensive plays. I still can't
believe he threw guys out from I believe a foot
and a half from the railing and he would throw
(03:39):
guys out down the line. And that was my first
indoctrination into what Brooks Robinson was like. And and there's
never been anybody like him. There's been great players, Don't
get me wrong. There's great players as great fielders. You know,
Arenato is terrific. You know Rolling is Rolling was really
really good. Nobody even close to Brooks Robinson because some
of the things he was able to do. It was
I mean, really it's like he was born to play
(04:00):
third base. That was Brooks Robinson.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He was the benchmark.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He's the guy that you know, was one of the
great ambassadors to the game. Obviously me doing all the
spots I've done in Baltimore through the years, his name
comes up a lot in conversation. Had the good fortune
of meeting him a few times when I lived out
in the East Coast up in Cooperstown and the chats,
A lot of guys liked to gossip and tell you
(04:24):
what a dirt bag you know other people were. Brooks
was telling you. Brooks was going through stuff, signing books
and whatever, and he'd be talking about how great all
these other guys were, you know, what made their games
so special, and the teammates that he had for all
those years. Immediately of the run he had in Baltimore.
An ambassador on my timeline today in the Facebook world, Yeah,
(04:44):
I'm old enough to still you know, have one of
those pages. I thought it was a day to go
and introverse it a bit because because of all the
friends and relationships back in Baltimore, and every person was
posting whatever autograph they had of Brooks. So here's a baseball,
here's a pick sure of me and Brooks. Here's the
picture that I had him signed. Before I took the
picture with Brooks to then go and get it signed,
(05:06):
like it was like an inception kind of thing going on.
But he was such a part of that community in
their history. You know, it hurt a little today from
the the idea of look at the Orioles are relevant
and dominating and ready for the postseason for the first
time in a while. And unfortunately, you know, he passes
away before he gets to see how this particular story ends.
(05:28):
But I know from those I'd talked to and texted
a little earlier, he had enjoyed the run and the
rise of all these young guys and was still someone
they counted on and called upon to give some pointers.
So baseball lost a legend today.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They all gathered, the teams gathered outside the nine foot
bronze statue of Brooks Robinson inside Camden Yards, and you
can hear the emotion that players, as former teammates have
had about him. Here's a little bit of Jim Palmer thinks,
speaking of Hall of Fame players. One of the best
pick of the seventies and eighties for a big time broadcaster.
(06:03):
He did Monday Night Baseball for a long time. Here
he is talking about Brooks Robinson, and I think that
he's speaking for a lot of people when he says this.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
You know, I got here when I was nineteen. Brooks
got here when when, you know, in nineteen fifty five,
So we I think maybe he always knew what it's
like to be in the big leagues in nineteen and
then I think when you get to the big leagues,
you know, you got to get here, you got to
stay here, you got to figure out how to get better,
and then you got to decide who you want to
be like. And for all of us, you know who.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Knew you know, we knew him. He was the best,
so you know, and just you know, the little things.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Everywhere I'd go, you know, I'd get a Brooks, there'd
be an autograph ball and I Brooks's name wouldn't ben it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh yeah, And he said to tell him, I said,
how can you right right right so big? Because it
was a big city.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
But everywhere I'd go, people would go, huh. We all
know he's a great player, he won sixteen goal gloves,
but we also know how special a person he was.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And there it is. That was Jim Palmer. You can
hear him getting choked up talking about him. That was
on Matson on the broadcast tonight that they had going on.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
It was.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Look, it's an incredible moment to be able to spend
time talking about a guy who clearly was when you're
talking about people who are the best ever to do
something that's rarefied air. And when I say the best
third basement people, well yeah, okay, you know, yeah, but
there were other guys. Yeah, George Brett was a better
offensive third baseman. Mike Schmidt was a better offensive third baseman.
Brooks Robins still you know, wound up with nearly three
(07:41):
thousand hits, right, the guy had twenty eight hundred hits.
He was the MVP, won two World Series again, he
won the seventy World Series all by himself. There was
nobody better who ever played third base now in the
history of THEA in one hundred and twenty some odd
years a Major League baseball, there was nobody better. And
you could go look at highlights of him now and go,
I don't know how he did that. I don't know
(08:02):
how he made that play. How did he get there?
He doesn't look like he's getting there so fast, but
he's there. He's bare handing balls, swinging bunts, anything, nothing,
nothing could get by the guy. He was the greatest
ever to do that, and it's it's really something to
think about when when you are great, sometimes there's an
argument to be had, like as Tom Brady the greatest quarterbacky, Well,
(08:22):
some people are gonna say John Elway. Some people are
gonna say Joe Montana. Who is Michael Jordan the greatest
basketball player ever? Well, some people are gonna say Jordan Lebron.
All this, we had specific things like, hey, who's the
greatest third basement of all time? There's no there's no
other answer than Brooks Robinson. Like that's it. It's like
you give me anybody else. I mean, hey, David Wright
was no, not David Right, No, Brooks Robinson was the
(08:44):
guy and he will always be that guy in and
to be someone. I mean, look, i know we're talking
about him the day he passed away, but he's someone.
His legend is going to live forever. And in fifty
years from now, there's gonna be some hot shod kid
coming up in Major League Baseball, hopefully with the Mets,
who all of a sudden looks like you, wow, look
at this, You're a wizard at third base. Well, you know,
there's a guy that played almost one hundred years ago
(09:06):
and named Brooks Robinson and you got a long way
to go to get to him. I mean, that legend
is going to live forever well.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
But you look at the fact that he had that
run of gold gloves from nineteen sixty through nineteen seventy
five when he was thirty eight years old, right, all
Star appearances, MVP voting won one, but a gold glove
run like that and just dominating a position. Today, you
saw the montages of all the greatness and noticed they
(09:34):
were all in big games, right. I saw a stat
that popped along and this goes back to you know,
baseball historians. You know, we've got our guys. Tim Kirchin
had this one that he had a record for games
with the lone RBI and won nothing wins with ten
in his career. I mean, that's kind of a cool
(09:55):
you know, Hey, we just keep going through the database
and see what kind of fun it's going to spit out.
But talk about a clutch player coming up with big moments.
And you heard Jim Poll break down. I mean their relationships,
what's fifty years fifty years at this point, right, So,
but you talk about going out and I thought it
was kind of funny right where he says, Ah, there's
the big autograph. Yeah, that was always the thing, right,
(10:18):
if you were getting a multi sign thing, Brooks Robinson's
autograph was going to dominate it. But the stories of
you know, him just showing up at all sorts of
events around town, the openings for this that, the other
community events, and just being part of that city, going
all the way back to the mid fifties. Man, I mean,
(10:38):
that's that is a life. And to your point, we
argue about everything. You'll you won't see a lot of
segments about greatest third basement because you're wasting your time
trying to get to the top.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, I mean remember it was that was in Sleepless
in Seattle, right when when Tom Hanks and Jonah Yeah,
first get the letter from Annie from Meg Ryan. She says,
the first thing you need to know is that Brooks
Robinson the greatest third basement in the history of baseball.
And now this subject is not up for debate, don't
you say Brooks Robinson is the best dad? And Toms goes,
that's because Brooks Robinson was the best. Like, no one's
(11:10):
gonna breaking any new ground on this. That's because Brooks
Robinson was the best. Oh that's one of my favorite
parts of that movie.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
When they said Tom Hanks and base the show a
meeting man, I'll.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Tell you Brooks.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And one of my friends when I played softball with
for a long time, he played third bat like I
grew up and I played third base, and then I
moved around a little bit, like I played shortstop and
I played center field. But when I played an adult
softball league in Syracuse, my friend played third and I
played I played short stuff, I played center field, and uh,
and my dad would come to all the games, and
every time they would hit the ball to him. My
(11:43):
friend was an okay fielder, but he made some errors.
And every time they would hit it to him and
he would make an error, like the play would end
and my dad would just go, Brooks, good play. And
after like, you know, like three or four games, I'm
laughing because I know my friend goes, why does your
dad say Brooks every time I I don't make a play?
Why it pisses me off? And I go because Brooks, Robinson,
(12:04):
you know, and you're not making the plays, goes, Why
should dad kinda treat me like that? I thought he'd
liked me.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Any of your friends does Walt out back start head.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Every time down the line and I know, Oh he
tried to olay, it didn't come up. I'd wait, Brooks,
good play.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Wow, Walt's just a menace.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, that was my Yeah, my dad's like that. Yeah,
he's absolutely like that. I was thinking about that all days.
I could just see him in the stands his arms crossed,
wearing sunglasses. Brooks, good play Brooks. People on the team
thought that was his nickname. They started calling him Brooks
a little bit, and they didn't know. But I thought
like maybe that was his middle name or his nickname
(12:46):
was Brooks for something. Oh that was That was so fun.
That was a great couple of months there when nobody
knew what Brooks.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's just cruelty.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Brooks.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Good play Brooks, but an absolute legend. Check out the video,
mon We'll make sure to retweet those out on The
X Factor. Wait, actually, no, that was a show. We
can't claim.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
That's all right? At how about oh what you say
on X it has other connotations, that's true. I no
safe place.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So but now you say X and I think of
them Jenna or Tega movie that you know, the movie,
which is insane. Yeah, eight twenty four. Rest in peace,
mister Oriole eighty six years old.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Aaron Rodgers decided to weigh in on the Jets quarterback
situation day. We'll get to that in a second, you
Aaron Rodgers, But this in vi a Bleacher report and
Rich Samini, Hey sumit guys, Hey Semini, Hey Semini. Jets
beat reporter Rich SEMENI, quote the Jets defense is not
(13:56):
happy with Robert Sala's support of Zach Wilson. There is
quote tension in the locker room, and the defense feels
any other quarterback would get benched with Wilson's performance. You
don't say any other quarterback his performance, any other quarterback
would be benched.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're bold. And to that top pick.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Tension in the locker room. You got Joe Namath saying
Zach Wilson's stat I mean, this is like everything was
so great for the Giant and that's why I ran
my mouth so much in the off season, because what
if this is as good as it gets? What if
this is won the off season money now because we're
not winning anything this season.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
We're not winning money.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You know what, I bought your poster, you know, I
mean not to not to spoil the surprise, but you know,
for your birthday later on this year, I had bought
you the poster that was, you know, a replica.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Banner thanks for winning the off season.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, Joan's a nice photo mosaic of all the players
that were on the squad.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Now that led to a giant cackling Joe Namath.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Look, look how bad this has gotten in Justica a
super Bowl team. Now they're all mad, They're mad at
each other, they're fighting on the field with each other.
Now they are upset with Robert Sala, who's supporting Zach Wilson.
And it's just really, this is how fast it goes.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And really I.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Shouldn't be surprised. And I know people saying, boy, Jason,
you seem pretty good. You have a pretty good head
on your show. Yes, because this is my team. I
know how it goes. This is this is chaos. Most
you could say, Hey, certain people thrive on chaos. No,
the Jets don't thrive on it. They just have it
all the time. So I'm used to the chaos of it. No,
everything is great to now. Everything is absolutely awful and
(15:37):
abysmal right now, and just at some.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Point you have to learn from it. As an organization.
You would think, you know, Johnson and Johnson up there.
At some point he'd say, boy, this really seems familiar.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Did we go to the movies and see this?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Are they using a plot device? Did we hear that
on that Smith and Harmon's show plot of my years ago?
What device? Oh, it's a mcguffin. It's a mcguffin.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Look, yeah, look, it's gotten you to mcguffins for a
couple of stiff drinks.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
If you can tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That, I gotta think. Look, Robert Solin knows he's a
smart guy. He knows that I'm not going to support
Zach Wilson at the risk of my job or losing
my team. And I would hope the Jets would understand that, Hey,
this is New York and we are front page news
every day. We need things to be quiet, We need
things to quiet down for a little bit so we
(16:32):
can play football. So, hey, Zach's our guy. Nothing else
to tell you about it? Well, the team is upset
about that. Well, this is where either the team has
to understand what's going on, or Robert Sala's got to
tell the captains, hey, you gotta get this message to everybody.
This is what's going on right this day is between
us here. Well, obviously we're going to try to fix
this as best as we can, but we got to
stay together. We can't fracture right now. And that's what
(16:54):
he's doing. That's all Robert Sala is doing, is trying
to keep support and keep things together until they make
that decision to move on from Zack Wilson, which unfortunately
we told you last hour, it's not gonna be for
another couple of weeks because teams aren't punting on their
season yet. So you gotta wait until the Vikings are
owing six and then they'll unload Kirk Cousins. Right, They're
not gonna do it at oh and three. You gotta
(17:14):
wait for the couple of weeks and the Bears will say, hey,
how about justin fields. This is what you have to
wait for now. If you want to talk about what
the Jets real uh, what they should have done, you
want to their real mistake is that they went into
the season with Aaron Rodgers and Zack Wilson and nobody
else Like this is where if you truly want Zack
Wilson to succeed and say maybe there's something we can do.
(17:36):
And I get the optic of the number two overall
pick in the draft of wanting to save him and
do things with him. I get that, But you have
to make it a year where you know what, dude,
You're not gonna see the field because Rogers is our
starter and somebody else who's capable is coming in to
be our backup. You decided to put the backup quarterback
in the hands of somebody who you replaced. Who if
he's not good enough to start, how good enough is
(17:57):
he going to be to start when you bring somebody
else in ahead of him. That's what doesn't make sense.
That never made sense to me. You signed Aaron Rodgers,
punt on Zack Wilson. The Jets fans don't care. We
took them two overall in the draft. Okay, you didn't
trade up together. I didn't lose a lot of draft picks.
You missed on a guy. It's okay. Teams have moved
on from quarterbacks taking in the first round quicker than this.
(18:18):
You know Zach Wilson doesn't have it, so move on
from him. You got Aaron rut Nobody would care. Nobody
would care. And that's when you say, all right now
to back up Aaron Rodgers, we have someone who is
really capable. And that's in the off season where you
go out and get somebody who is a little bit better.
Because to jump around and say, well the Jet should
call for Andy Dolt Mi Chicoelle. No, none of these
teams are trading their backups because they know how valuable
(18:41):
having a good backup quarterback is because your starters are
going to miss time. Seventy five quarterbacks played last year.
No one's going into a season anymore with a number
one quarterback and just some developmental dude behind him. No,
that was the Jets mistake was coming into this year
saying Rogers number one and Zack Wilson is number two,
when they could have just punted it, moved on from him,
or you make them the number three and have somebody
(19:02):
behind Aaron Rodgers because he's thirty nine years old. That
was the mistake. This going on right now, This is
all cosmetic. This is let's try to keep this ship
together for a while until we have to make that
big move. We're not gonna not make it. We're not
gonna punt on the sea. We're not gonna be one
and six and go Okay, now we're stuck. We're gonna
do something, but it's not right now. Yes, you wanna
go back in time and fix what happened before. I'd
(19:25):
love to go back and fix that where they could
bring in a guy like they could have gotten Andy
Dalton or somebody else to come in, and that way,
the drop off from Rogers to whoever is next is
not that great that they can't win games, because clearly,
with a different quarterback, they would have won last week.
Maybe they don't beat Dallas, but they would have won
last week. And now they're two to one and everything
is okay. That was the Jets mistake this year. It's hey,
(19:45):
understand what's going on. It's bigger than you, it's bigger
than everything else. Let's just try to hold it together
with whatever tape and spit and whatever we have for
the next few weeks until we can make that big
move for a quarterback, because it's still a few weeks away.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, the hard part to it all is you had
to make the tough decision and watched your guy stay
in division. You know, you got a little taste of
him this week two for two touchdown throw Mike White.
If I could be like, but you know, when you
look at what the quarterback position was costing you between
(20:19):
Rogers before the reworked deal, what Wilson's number is for
this year, I believe it's you know, nine to ten
million dollars or though, and then Mike White signed for
two years eight million dollars with Miami. Right, you're just
talking about so much invested in the quarterback position. But
to your point, yeah, having a veteran that was going
(20:40):
to be there, and again again they're going to the
psychology of this, And what have I been saying for
the decade we've been on air, If he's that fragile,
that dude just being there in the lunch room, helping
in the meeting room, taking notes, maybe looking at your
side eye for something you say like you're getting quizzed
right like you used to do in classroom, and all
of you out there think about it. When your kid
(21:02):
tries to ask a question, you give an answer and
they're not buying it. You see their eyes or when
they're trying to explain why they were a few minutes
late and you're not buying it. You do the same
side eye if you could look into a mirror, same thing.
But if he's not the guy, and look, he's not
the guy, if he's getting rattled by that, right, you
(21:23):
need to have the extra adult in the room. That's
what they're doing with Simeon, right. Professional guy, been in
a bunch of locker rooms. The word has always been
good about him picking things up and not to go
to the Fitzpatrick. Oh he's a smart quarterback, you know,
coming out of Northwestern thing. But they say he acclimates
well and he's a good teammate, all of that. And
(21:45):
if he'd been on Steph, was he a guy that
you would have been worried about breathing down Zach Wilson's neck?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I would guess not. But here we are going into
week four where you've created that situation.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
If I could go back into time, I would love
to go back in time, but I can't so this.
I'd love to go back in time, but that that's
their worst decision. And now things are fracturing. Right now,
things are fracturing, and and you heard the reports. Everybody's
upset with everybody else, and the offensive players hate the
defense and defense even like Robert Salas gave up two plays,
(22:20):
I know, thirteen points. Really one big play, one play,
the touchdown one the faroh Brown, that's it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
One good throw and then Williams had to leave because
of injury.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
We talked about it last night. And the next play
they can't get any kind of pass rush, so Brown's
able to sneak out and then spread to the end zone.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's it, right. Everybody kept saying they gave up fifteen points.
You know, they gave up thirteen. Zach Wilson gave up
the other two.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
But I will say yes, and Wilson also gave up points,
Yes he did. But I will say this, there could
be a little bit of a silver lining and help
could be on the way right now. Big headline today
was Aaron Rodgers, who's closer to us here in LA
than he is to New York right now, hanging out
coming off of his surgery, and here he is talking
(23:04):
about how after he saw the Sunday's game and saw
players on the sideline getting animated, he wants the Jets
to stick together.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
We need to understand this is part of it. It's
not always going to be pretty. The most important thing
is winning shot. What happened in Green Bay they were
down seventeen nothing and came back and won that game.
An ugly game, eighteen seventeen doesn't matter. It's like you
win the game. That's the most important thing. However, you
got to get it done. So, you know, there's been
I think too many little side conversations and we just
need to grow up a little bit on offense and
(23:32):
lock in and do our jobs everybody and not point
fingers at each other. And that's everybody, you know. We
don't point fingers at the coach and staff, don't point
fingers at each other's get back to work and get
the job done.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
So that was from the Pat mcaview show earlier today.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I like that he got that Packers reference and the
Packers came back. I caret you.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
He had that on the big screen without me and
the Jets jet the Jets were a big screen, and
then then he was like, oh this guy. Then as
soon as Zach Wilson got sacked and didn't get touched,
he put the Packers on the big screen. Now, let
me say this. Here's Aaron Rodgers after the surgery, hanging
out in Malibu, whatever he's doing, still doing Pat McPhee interview,
(24:12):
saying great things.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Jets need to grow up a little bit, and they
do because these are the younger players that are losing
it a little bit. And I understand all of this,
but here's where help could be on the way. Aaron Rodgers,
you're in Malibu, you're probably listening. Get on a plane,
or if you can't fly, get on a bleeping train.
They'll take it three days on a train. Get to
(24:33):
New York. Jets need you. The Jets need his leadership
right now. They need him around the team. They need
him talking to them. They need his presence there because
right now everything is insane, Jason. They got Trevor Simmey
and what are you talking about him there?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They need.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They need him on the sideline during games. They need
him talking to the quarterback. They'm talking to the receivers.
They need his presence normally. I'm a big disciple of
Bill Parcels. I go, okay, I don't like injured I
don't like injured players being around a team because you know,
you don't want to reminder of what's not there. But
there's no way you can get out of the fact
that Aaron Rodgers isn't there, and the fact that he
(25:13):
can be there and help with his leadership and his
presence because he brought the Jets the swagger with his presence.
If he's just there on the sideline, it's a big deal. So,
I mean, I think you can fly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'm not a doctor, but he had to surgery a
couple weeks ago, so I think he can fly again.
If not, or a train, there's very comfortable trains. Woody
Johnson would get one of those snow piercer trains, get
you around the country and get you to Jets headquarters
so you could be there for the game. Maybe you
get there on Sunday. Maybe he's in the box with
Taylor Swift hanging out and talking, but the Jets need him.
I get that he's talking here and that's great, but dude,
(25:46):
do this on the sideline. Do this in the locker room,
because that's what the Jets need. And if you're listening,
and I'm sure you are, we're on here in Los Angeles. Yes,
Aaron Rodgers the Jets need you.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
He did reference that you might see someone at the
game on Sunday, and everybody assumed, no, it's Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's like no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Forgetting about that, Aaron Rodgers, maybe you were teasing an
appearance by yourself. Take it over with a headset because
they need you.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Twitter and out about a fresca. Mike gets swollen down
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
I want to see the what's the what does he say?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Here you have the music and everything. I think we

before you start. Just remember you asked for this. Do
you need any advice from me? Please? Try?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Well, actually, let me do this. You do the update first,
and then I'll give you a progress report. I like that,
like a report card.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah all right. The other thing is this be your
own person, okay, don't don't say like And and the
Marlins were guillotine by the red flabberg acid. And yes,
and there there was a you know, there was the
Dodgers win and they truncate the Rockies. You know, you
mean yourself. Well, you make something small, Okay, so just
(30:10):
be yourself when you're doing the updates. Okay, all right,
now we're gonna do this, right, I'm ready. All right,
let me get my finger next to the dump. But
I say, all right, get that you on your pressure.
Fuck all right, I think we're ready. And just so
anybody knows however this goes, this was justin Frostburg's idea. Okay,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
All right, the Angels doing their best impersonation of the
Dodgers to night, plombering the Rangers nine to one. But
in fun news, the brains are actually doing something even
more incredible, and that's actually winning games, as they took
out the Cubs seven to six and other nudes in
MLB history. Over Here, the Diamondbacks are trying their best
to not look so privy as they're going fifteen over
(30:52):
the White Sox, Sorry Mike in the final tonight, and
some other news around the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
As Jason Smith likes to say, to make sure you
know how to pronounce.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
It, Aaron Rodgers is still flabbergascid as he is being
one of the most vocal NFL players in history, and
not even completing a single four plays incomprehension. That's unbelievable.
Now other news as well, Jason Smith will love this one.
Jets added QB Simeon to come in as their savior
as Kaepernick actually was inquiring about signing himself, but many
(31:20):
people are questioning if he's actually the man for the job.
And in other news, sources are saying that the w
NBA nears an expansion club in the Bay Area. I'm
not Brian Fenley.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yes, let's go.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
That was so much better it is. That's f that's
pretty sure. And you hit the post. He was the
most important part.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
That was very good.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That was really good. Thank you, Jason. No, no, well,
and he went to other news a lot in other news,
this other game and this other news and other news.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Don't forget that most people have a first name and
a last name. You said last name, but maybe include
the first name just occasionally.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Okay, well, yeah, you're done.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
You can go home now, Brian, you had a good run.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
How about the fact, Jason, I ended with w NBA,
And that's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
I did.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
That was pretty good. And right now, off time, right now,
So I'm saying, Brian getting them in the in the updates,
Dan Byer took his phone from ready to press send
to you and instead called Scott Shapiro boss and said, hey,
so could we pay alex Tyshirt the same rate? You
can do updates as well as engineer.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The funny thing is they would do that.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Can the engineer? Can you run the show and do
updates and you get the same salary. I will be
Tom Looney number two.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
A so on.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
The next thing we could do is, after you do that,
we can have Ai Alex ty Shirt doing the updates.
Just pay me one time for my voice image. That's
all I asked. I will say that kind of sounded
like an AI version. Really, yes see I kind of
a little bit of an AI verse. Okay, I like
that a little bit, you say first, but I was
pretty impressed. Well, I should say too. There was no prep.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
I literally just opened up a sign and just read
stuff office, you'll be a simon you again.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
It's pretty It's pretty easy to do updates. I'm just
saying I'm assuming people prep for it. I just went
off to fly, all right, Brian Fedley, how do you
feel about that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
He went He went home oh, Tischer has attacked an
entire part of the profession.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Won't turn his microphone on now, he won't turn his
microphone on all his uh, his job just got taken.
We're do it called downsizing now here. Hope you hope
you know this, Nouri, Yeah, turn me on. I mean
not literally, just just certain turn your mic on there
at the worst possible moment. It's the worst possible moment
(33:44):
right there.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I'm gonna give you a B plus in honesty. Yeah,
in all honesty inflection. I mean, you could have varied
that a little bit. And like you said, there was
a little bit of redundancy on the in other news
and other news. You might want to include again the
first name of some of these key people, because sometimes,
like in sports, there might be the same last name
(34:06):
for multiple athletes.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Is there that many athletes?
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Aren't there?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Like just ten guys?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah, we only talk about ten of them.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
I just keep hearing you and Rob and Chris and
Smith talking about the same nine.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Got Roger was the fact I actually brought an opinion
to the update.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Yeah, I mean I did that, and then I got shunned,
and I was I was told by people that are
more powerful than me to probably knock that off.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Okay, were you really really did? Really what did you do?
Did you say did someone did the wrong team get slighted? Okay,
no team get guillotined. No, the wrong team guys shot
multiple times and bled to death? Like what what did?
What did you do? That was all right, keep it moving,
nobody cares.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Was an NFL There was an NFL trade, and essentially
I mentioned the trade, and then there was like these
little finer parts of the deal, like a seventh wrong pick,
and like, all right, guys, that back to you.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Wow, Wow, Frostburg is relentless. They said.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
I said they traded so and so and some table
scraps like the seventh round pick and this player as
if to say, like they didn't mean anything. And then
word got out on I guess you call it X
that I was editorializing.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And then I had a phone call, oh, somebody's relative intervention.
Probably some somebody's relative probably called and said, you said,
when your phone rings tonight, don't pick up. Word got
out on friendly. It got out on friendly right there.
That's being a good sport, PA. It was fun my
shirt because you know what I like, ty shirt. I
liked the enthusiasm you used.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
You like that.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah, it's not fake or all at all or terry fake. No,
he was enthusiastic to do the report. He just doesn't
know any of the players and teams he talked, but
he was still sounded very enthusiastic.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
I will say, you give me fifteen minutes to prep.
I knocked that out. I was off the fly.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
You usually last on the fly, off the fly, No, No,
on the fly was there and I jumped off. No,
but that's not a saying though on the floor in
fifteen minutes. Usually you're lasting thirty seconds with the update.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Well, I'm glad you put that in with the update
at the end.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it was just a bad joke though too obvious.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
No, it was. It was lost Mike privileges there, there,
it is there. It is all right. Well, thank you,
thank you, Brian Fendley for what what are you thinking?
I'm now I got to see what he does at
the bottom of the hour to raise his game for
the update here he lost his gig, you cald management.
So I would say first time or luck Jason, I
would just say talent. Oh wait, I have it right here.
Brandon Staley is taking over, so he's going to be
(36:35):
the new update actor here. He's that's good. We got
to talk to about fourth down place, but they won,
so is Yeah, as long as you win, as long
as long as you win, it's secure. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Carmen Live from the
Tireck dot Com studios. So look, one of the big
stories today. We talked about it a little bit. We'll
talked about a lot in the first couple of hours.
We'll have more in depth on it. Uh, the Jets
(36:58):
are greeted terms with Trevor Simon. He's gonna be on
the practice squad. Colin Kaepernick actually inquired about signing with
the Jets. He reached out to the Jets. And what
does this tell you that after Aaron Rodgers got hurt,
all these former quarterbacks were reaching out to the Jets
because they know, hey, this isn't gonna work with Zach
Wilson man. You had Matt Ryan reaching out and Carson
(37:19):
Wentz reaching out. And now Colin Kaepernick reaches out. And
Kaepernick reaches out and he says about being on the
practice squad, and he wrote a letter that was put
out on social media, and he says, listen, I'd love
to be on the practice squad. I'd love to be
able to give a team a look and just see
where it goes. He really, I just want a chance
to play again. And what I really can't believe is that,
(37:40):
you know, whatever you think about Kaepernick and before how
things went and him not being in the league, the
guy's been out for seven years. I mean, it's been
seven These guys have played since twenty sixteen. I mean,
at some point you have to understand it's just not
gonna happen anymore. And seven years has gone by and
it's been whoever's side you're on with everything that went on,
and certainly Colin Kaepernick as someone who who has divide
(38:02):
there's divided opinion on him throughout his career. But the
bottom line is seven years. I mean, you saw Deshaun
Watson's been out of the NFL for a little over
a year, and look how much trouble he had. I mean,
he had a good game on Sunday, but so far
up until he's not played well. I mean you're out
of the game for a year, You're rehabbing from an
injury for a year. That's a big deal. You're talking
about seven years. The guy's been around. At some point,
(38:24):
he's got to understand, Okay, it's over and I'm moving on.
You know, because when I see Kaepernick with this, I think, oh,
here's here's here's him trying to stay in the public
eye by saying, oh, here's an opening and link me
to it. I can still do it. I can still
do it.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It's seven years and it's done. Move on to something
else and whatever else it's gonna because it's just not
happening anymore. And when I when I see it now,
instead of sparking conversation about it, hey, would Kaepernick be
a good fit? Would he be this? Now we're seven
years gone by, I just feel bad for the guy.
I'm like, dude, you just it just sounds this just
sounds ridiculous, you know. I mean, you're talking about being
out of the game for this long and look, and
(39:01):
you really think you're gonna get back in now after
seven years. I mean, that's how I feel. That's what
I thought when Kaepernick happened. I don't know where you thought,
but that's where I was mine.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Yeah, I mean, look, we talked to Jordan Schultz about
this a couple of weeks ago, that this was something
what was that on the twelfth of September, right, he
had put that out saying, hey, the agent had reached out,
and then Jake Cole puts out the letter today and
we talked about it then. And look, it gets the
fan base and any movement around Kaepernick to reinvigorate some
(39:36):
of those debates and arguments and certainly talking points of
the last seven years, not to the same and with
the same juice and authority that they did, and certainly
not creating the national stir that it did once upon
a time, but there's still a little of that that resonates.
And again with the state of quarterback play across the league,
(39:58):
we talked about it a lot, the number of quarterbacks
that took snaps last year. You know, people will be
quick to say, you're telling me he's worse than in
cert quarterback here any answers, I don't know, but it
seems the time has passed so like the debates on
it at this point are just more all right, you're
just killing time more than something that any of these
(40:21):
teams will actually consider bringing in. For many reasons. Right
time elapsed quarterbacks, what a backup quarterback is, right to
some semblance, a parallel along the Tebow world after a while.
But it's just a talking point that's going to continue
(40:42):
to come up in these situations, and here we are
giving it. It's three minutes tonight when Trevor Simmyon joins
the Jets

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I know. Look, every year an NL e's team is

That's how it goes. Sorry, Buddy Greason, you just saw
Zach Wilson play Sunday. This doesn't hurt at all. I'm
used to a lot. I'm used to a lot of stuff. Man,
I got big ass shoulders, Man, I got shoulders. I
got like David Robinson's shoulders. Man, I got like big
(01:25):
shoulders because I shoulder everything with my teams the last
few years.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Do you have the sleeveless shirt on so you could
show those off? Because no, no, no, no no, you're scared
of the development.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No no, no guns out there getting a little getting
a little chillier in La the last couple of days,
you know, now wearing you know, a full T shirt,
not not a cutoff T shirt. So it's a little
bit chillier now, so you maybe have to put the cutoffs,
maybe have to put the put the guns away for
a while. You put the guns away, but the guns
under wraps for.

Before we get into all the big NFL drama of
(02:14):
the day, the Jets avenue quarterback Mac Jones definitively hit
Sauce Gardner in the groin. Everybody still hate Sean Payton,
Oh yeah, yeah, But we say this sometimes and sometimes
it means a little bit more than others. The passing
of an absolute legend. Today, the greatest third baseman who
ever played the game passes away at the age of
(02:35):
eighty six. Brooks Robinson, Hall of Famer, who set the
bar so incredibly high for anybody whoever wanted to play
third base. You will forever be compared to him, and
no one will ever be as good as him. The
sixteen straight gold Gloves the most ever except for Greg
Maddox who won eighteen straight as a pitcher, but a
(02:55):
little bit more demand at third base than a pitcher.
And Brooks Robinson, who was one of the big Titans
and legends of the game. We say farewell to him
at the age of eighty six. And look, I still remember,
you know, when I became a baseball fan, like when
I was in you know, seventy four seventy five, started
going to baseball camps, and when I was seventy in
seventy six, seventy seven, when I was young, and they
used to show all the highlights of all the World series,
(03:18):
like afternoon was always film time, and we got to
watch like the MLB Productions World Series, like we got
to see like the you know, the edited version of
the World Series. And I remember seeing I remember, I
still remember the first time seeing the nineteen seventy World
Series that Brooks Robinson made defensive plays. I still can't
believe he threw guys out from I believe a foot
and a half from the railing and he would throw
(03:39):
guys out down the line. And that was my first
indoctrination into what Brooks Robinson was like. And and there's
never been anybody like him. There's been great players, Don't
get me wrong. There's great players as great fielders. You know,
Arenato is terrific. You know Rolling is Rolling was really
really good. Nobody even close to Brooks Robinson because some
of the things he was able to do. It was
I mean, really it's like he was born to play
(04:00):
third base. That was Brooks Robinson.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He was the benchmark.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He's the guy that you know, was one of the
great ambassadors to the game. Obviously me doing all the
spots I've done in Baltimore through the years, his name
comes up a lot in conversation. Had the good fortune
of meeting him a few times when I lived out
in the East Coast up in Cooperstown and the chats,
A lot of guys liked to gossip and tell you
(04:24):
what a dirt bag you know other people were. Brooks
was telling you. Brooks was going through stuff, signing books
and whatever, and he'd be talking about how great all
these other guys were, you know, what made their games
so special, and the teammates that he had for all
those years. Immediately of the run he had in Baltimore.
An ambassador on my timeline today in the Facebook world, Yeah,
(04:44):
I'm old enough to still you know, have one of
those pages. I thought it was a day to go
and introverse it a bit because because of all the
friends and relationships back in Baltimore, and every person was
posting whatever autograph they had of Brooks. So here's a baseball,
here's a pick sure of me and Brooks. Here's the
picture that I had him signed. Before I took the
picture with Brooks to then go and get it signed,
(05:06):
like it was like an inception kind of thing going on.
But he was such a part of that community in
their history. You know, it hurt a little today from
the the idea of look at the Orioles are relevant
and dominating and ready for the postseason for the first
time in a while. And unfortunately, you know, he passes
away before he gets to see how this particular story ends.
(05:28):
But I know from those I'd talked to and texted
a little earlier, he had enjoyed the run and the
rise of all these young guys and was still someone
they counted on and called upon to give some pointers.
So baseball lost a legend today.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They all gathered, the teams gathered outside the nine foot
bronze statue of Brooks Robinson inside Camden Yards, and you
can hear the emotion that players, as former teammates have
had about him. Here's a little bit of Jim Palmer thinks,
speaking of Hall of Fame players. One of the best
pick of the seventies and eighties for a big time broadcaster.
(06:03):
He did Monday Night Baseball for a long time. Here
he is talking about Brooks Robinson, and I think that
he's speaking for a lot of people when he says this.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
You know, I got here when I was nineteen. Brooks
got here when when, you know, in nineteen fifty five,
So we I think maybe he always knew what it's
like to be in the big leagues in nineteen and
then I think when you get to the big leagues,
you know, you got to get here, you got to
stay here, you got to figure out how to get better,
and then you got to decide who you want to
be like. And for all of us, you know who.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Knew you know, we knew him. He was the best,
so you know, and just you know, the little things.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Everywhere I'd go, you know, I'd get a Brooks, there'd
be an autograph ball and I Brooks's name wouldn't ben it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh yeah, And he said to tell him, I said,
how can you right right right so big? Because it
was a big city.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
But everywhere I'd go, people would go, huh. We all
know he's a great player, he won sixteen goal gloves,
but we also know how special a person he was.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And there it is. That was Jim Palmer. You can
hear him getting choked up talking about him. That was
on Matson on the broadcast tonight that they had going on.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
It was.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Look, it's an incredible moment to be able to spend
time talking about a guy who clearly was when you're
talking about people who are the best ever to do
something that's rarefied air. And when I say the best
third basement people, well yeah, okay, you know, yeah, but
there were other guys. Yeah, George Brett was a better
offensive third baseman. Mike Schmidt was a better offensive third baseman.
Brooks Robins still you know, wound up with nearly three
(07:41):
thousand hits, right, the guy had twenty eight hundred hits.
He was the MVP, won two World Series again, he
won the seventy World Series all by himself. There was
nobody better who ever played third base now in the
history of THEA in one hundred and twenty some odd
years a Major League baseball, there was nobody better. And
you could go look at highlights of him now and go,
I don't know how he did that. I don't know
(08:02):
how he made that play. How did he get there?
He doesn't look like he's getting there so fast, but
he's there. He's bare handing balls, swinging bunts, anything, nothing,
nothing could get by the guy. He was the greatest
ever to do that, and it's it's really something to
think about when when you are great, sometimes there's an
argument to be had, like as Tom Brady the greatest quarterbacky, Well,
(08:22):
some people are gonna say John Elway. Some people are
gonna say Joe Montana. Who is Michael Jordan the greatest
basketball player ever? Well, some people are gonna say Jordan Lebron.
All this, we had specific things like, hey, who's the
greatest third basement of all time? There's no there's no
other answer than Brooks Robinson. Like that's it. It's like
you give me anybody else. I mean, hey, David Wright
was no, not David Right, No, Brooks Robinson was the
(08:44):
guy and he will always be that guy in and
to be someone. I mean, look, i know we're talking
about him the day he passed away, but he's someone.
His legend is going to live forever. And in fifty
years from now, there's gonna be some hot shod kid
coming up in Major League Baseball, hopefully with the Mets,
who all of a sudden looks like you, wow, look
at this, You're a wizard at third base. Well, you know,
there's a guy that played almost one hundred years ago
(09:06):
and named Brooks Robinson and you got a long way
to go to get to him. I mean, that legend
is going to live forever well.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
But you look at the fact that he had that
run of gold gloves from nineteen sixty through nineteen seventy
five when he was thirty eight years old, right, all
Star appearances, MVP voting won one, but a gold glove
run like that and just dominating a position. Today, you
saw the montages of all the greatness and noticed they
(09:34):
were all in big games, right. I saw a stat
that popped along and this goes back to you know,
baseball historians. You know, we've got our guys. Tim Kirchin
had this one that he had a record for games
with the lone RBI and won nothing wins with ten
in his career. I mean, that's kind of a cool
(09:55):
you know, Hey, we just keep going through the database
and see what kind of fun it's going to spit out.
But talk about a clutch player coming up with big moments.
And you heard Jim Poll break down. I mean their relationships,
what's fifty years fifty years at this point, right, So,
but you talk about going out and I thought it
was kind of funny right where he says, Ah, there's
the big autograph. Yeah, that was always the thing, right,
(10:18):
if you were getting a multi sign thing, Brooks Robinson's
autograph was going to dominate it. But the stories of
you know, him just showing up at all sorts of
events around town, the openings for this that, the other
community events, and just being part of that city, going
all the way back to the mid fifties. Man, I mean,
(10:38):
that's that is a life. And to your point, we
argue about everything. You'll you won't see a lot of
segments about greatest third basement because you're wasting your time
trying to get to the top.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, I mean remember it was that was in Sleepless
in Seattle, right when when Tom Hanks and Jonah Yeah,
first get the letter from Annie from Meg Ryan. She says,
the first thing you need to know is that Brooks
Robinson the greatest third basement in the history of baseball.
And now this subject is not up for debate, don't
you say Brooks Robinson is the best dad? And Toms goes,
that's because Brooks Robinson was the best. Like, no one's
(11:10):
gonna breaking any new ground on this. That's because Brooks
Robinson was the best. Oh that's one of my favorite
parts of that movie.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
When they said Tom Hanks and base the show a
meeting man, I'll.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Tell you Brooks.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And one of my friends when I played softball with
for a long time, he played third bat like I
grew up and I played third base, and then I
moved around a little bit, like I played shortstop and
I played center field. But when I played an adult
softball league in Syracuse, my friend played third and I
played I played short stuff, I played center field, and uh,
and my dad would come to all the games, and
every time they would hit the ball to him. My
(11:43):
friend was an okay fielder, but he made some errors.
And every time they would hit it to him and
he would make an error, like the play would end
and my dad would just go, Brooks, good play. And
after like, you know, like three or four games, I'm
laughing because I know my friend goes, why does your
dad say Brooks every time I I don't make a play?
Why it pisses me off? And I go because Brooks, Robinson,
(12:04):
you know, and you're not making the plays, goes, Why
should dad kinda treat me like that? I thought he'd
liked me.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Any of your friends does Walt out back start head.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Every time down the line and I know, Oh he
tried to olay, it didn't come up. I'd wait, Brooks,
good play.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Wow, Walt's just a menace.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, that was my Yeah, my dad's like that. Yeah,
he's absolutely like that. I was thinking about that all days.
I could just see him in the stands his arms crossed,
wearing sunglasses. Brooks, good play Brooks. People on the team
thought that was his nickname. They started calling him Brooks
a little bit, and they didn't know. But I thought
like maybe that was his middle name or his nickname
(12:46):
was Brooks for something. Oh that was That was so fun.
That was a great couple of months there when nobody
knew what Brooks.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's just cruelty.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Brooks.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Good play Brooks, but an absolute legend. Check out the video,
mon We'll make sure to retweet those out on The
X Factor. Wait, actually, no, that was a show. We
can't claim.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
That's all right? At how about oh what you say
on X it has other connotations, that's true. I no
safe place.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So but now you say X and I think of
them Jenna or Tega movie that you know, the movie,
which is insane. Yeah, eight twenty four. Rest in peace,
mister Oriole eighty six years old.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Aaron Rodgers decided to weigh in on the Jets quarterback
situation day. We'll get to that in a second, you
Aaron Rodgers, But this in vi a Bleacher report and
Rich Samini, Hey sumit guys, Hey Semini, Hey Semini. Jets
beat reporter Rich SEMENI, quote the Jets defense is not
(13:56):
happy with Robert Sala's support of Zach Wilson. There is
quote tension in the locker room, and the defense feels
any other quarterback would get benched with Wilson's performance. You
don't say any other quarterback his performance, any other quarterback
would be benched.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're bold. And to that top pick.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Tension in the locker room. You got Joe Namath saying
Zach Wilson's stat I mean, this is like everything was
so great for the Giant and that's why I ran
my mouth so much in the off season, because what
if this is as good as it gets? What if
this is won the off season money now because we're
not winning anything this season.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
We're not winning money.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You know what, I bought your poster, you know, I
mean not to not to spoil the surprise, but you know,
for your birthday later on this year, I had bought
you the poster that was, you know, a replica.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Banner thanks for winning the off season.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, Joan's a nice photo mosaic of all the players
that were on the squad.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Now that led to a giant cackling Joe Namath.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Look, look how bad this has gotten in Justica a
super Bowl team. Now they're all mad, They're mad at
each other, they're fighting on the field with each other.
Now they are upset with Robert Sala, who's supporting Zach Wilson.
And it's just really, this is how fast it goes.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And really I.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Shouldn't be surprised. And I know people saying, boy, Jason,
you seem pretty good. You have a pretty good head
on your show. Yes, because this is my team. I
know how it goes. This is this is chaos. Most
you could say, Hey, certain people thrive on chaos. No,
the Jets don't thrive on it. They just have it
all the time. So I'm used to the chaos of it. No,
everything is great to now. Everything is absolutely awful and
(15:37):
abysmal right now, and just at some.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Point you have to learn from it. As an organization.
You would think, you know, Johnson and Johnson up there.
At some point he'd say, boy, this really seems familiar.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Did we go to the movies and see this?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Are they using a plot device? Did we hear that
on that Smith and Harmon's show plot of my years ago?
What device? Oh, it's a mcguffin. It's a mcguffin.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Look, yeah, look, it's gotten you to mcguffins for a
couple of stiff drinks.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
If you can tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That, I gotta think. Look, Robert Solin knows he's a
smart guy. He knows that I'm not going to support
Zach Wilson at the risk of my job or losing
my team. And I would hope the Jets would understand that, Hey,
this is New York and we are front page news
every day. We need things to be quiet, We need
things to quiet down for a little bit so we
(16:32):
can play football. So, hey, Zach's our guy. Nothing else
to tell you about it? Well, the team is upset
about that. Well, this is where either the team has
to understand what's going on, or Robert Sala's got to
tell the captains, hey, you gotta get this message to everybody.
This is what's going on right this day is between
us here. Well, obviously we're going to try to fix
this as best as we can, but we got to
stay together. We can't fracture right now. And that's what
(16:54):
he's doing. That's all Robert Sala is doing, is trying
to keep support and keep things together until they make
that decision to move on from Zack Wilson, which unfortunately
we told you last hour, it's not gonna be for
another couple of weeks because teams aren't punting on their
season yet. So you gotta wait until the Vikings are
owing six and then they'll unload Kirk Cousins. Right, They're
not gonna do it at oh and three. You gotta
(17:14):
wait for the couple of weeks and the Bears will say, hey,
how about justin fields. This is what you have to
wait for now. If you want to talk about what
the Jets real uh, what they should have done, you
want to their real mistake is that they went into
the season with Aaron Rodgers and Zack Wilson and nobody
else Like this is where if you truly want Zack
Wilson to succeed and say maybe there's something we can do.
(17:36):
And I get the optic of the number two overall
pick in the draft of wanting to save him and
do things with him. I get that, But you have
to make it a year where you know what, dude,
You're not gonna see the field because Rogers is our
starter and somebody else who's capable is coming in to
be our backup. You decided to put the backup quarterback
in the hands of somebody who you replaced. Who if
he's not good enough to start, how good enough is
(17:57):
he going to be to start when you bring somebody
else in ahead of him. That's what doesn't make sense.
That never made sense to me. You signed Aaron Rodgers,
punt on Zack Wilson. The Jets fans don't care. We
took them two overall in the draft. Okay, you didn't
trade up together. I didn't lose a lot of draft picks.
You missed on a guy. It's okay. Teams have moved
on from quarterbacks taking in the first round quicker than this.
(18:18):
You know Zach Wilson doesn't have it, so move on
from him. You got Aaron rut Nobody would care. Nobody
would care. And that's when you say, all right now
to back up Aaron Rodgers, we have someone who is
really capable. And that's in the off season where you
go out and get somebody who is a little bit better.
Because to jump around and say, well the Jet should
call for Andy Dolt Mi Chicoelle. No, none of these
teams are trading their backups because they know how valuable
(18:41):
having a good backup quarterback is because your starters are
going to miss time. Seventy five quarterbacks played last year.
No one's going into a season anymore with a number
one quarterback and just some developmental dude behind him. No,
that was the Jets mistake was coming into this year
saying Rogers number one and Zack Wilson is number two,
when they could have just punted it, moved on from him,
or you make them the number three and have somebody
(19:02):
behind Aaron Rodgers because he's thirty nine years old. That
was the mistake. This going on right now, This is
all cosmetic. This is let's try to keep this ship
together for a while until we have to make that
big move. We're not gonna not make it. We're not
gonna punt on the sea. We're not gonna be one
and six and go Okay, now we're stuck. We're gonna
do something, but it's not right now. Yes, you wanna
go back in time and fix what happened before. I'd
(19:25):
love to go back and fix that where they could
bring in a guy like they could have gotten Andy
Dalton or somebody else to come in, and that way,
the drop off from Rogers to whoever is next is
not that great that they can't win games, because clearly,
with a different quarterback, they would have won last week.
Maybe they don't beat Dallas, but they would have won
last week. And now they're two to one and everything
is okay. That was the Jets mistake this year. It's hey,
(19:45):
understand what's going on. It's bigger than you, it's bigger
than everything else. Let's just try to hold it together
with whatever tape and spit and whatever we have for
the next few weeks until we can make that big
move for a quarterback, because it's still a few weeks away.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, the hard part to it all is you had
to make the tough decision and watched your guy stay
in division. You know, you got a little taste of
him this week two for two touchdown throw Mike White.
If I could be like, but you know, when you
look at what the quarterback position was costing you between
(20:19):
Rogers before the reworked deal, what Wilson's number is for
this year, I believe it's you know, nine to ten
million dollars or though, and then Mike White signed for
two years eight million dollars with Miami. Right, you're just
talking about so much invested in the quarterback position. But
to your point, yeah, having a veteran that was going
(20:40):
to be there, and again again they're going to the
psychology of this, And what have I been saying for
the decade we've been on air, If he's that fragile,
that dude just being there in the lunch room, helping
in the meeting room, taking notes, maybe looking at your
side eye for something you say like you're getting quizzed
right like you used to do in classroom, and all
of you out there think about it. When your kid
(21:02):
tries to ask a question, you give an answer and
they're not buying it. You see their eyes or when
they're trying to explain why they were a few minutes
late and you're not buying it. You do the same
side eye if you could look into a mirror, same thing.
But if he's not the guy, and look, he's not
the guy, if he's getting rattled by that, right, you
(21:23):
need to have the extra adult in the room. That's
what they're doing with Simeon, right. Professional guy, been in
a bunch of locker rooms. The word has always been
good about him picking things up and not to go
to the Fitzpatrick. Oh he's a smart quarterback, you know,
coming out of Northwestern thing. But they say he acclimates
well and he's a good teammate, all of that. And
(21:45):
if he'd been on Steph, was he a guy that
you would have been worried about breathing down Zach Wilson's neck?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I would guess not. But here we are going into
week four where you've created that situation.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
If I could go back into time, I would love
to go back in time, but I can't so this.
I'd love to go back in time, but that that's
their worst decision. And now things are fracturing. Right now,
things are fracturing, and and you heard the reports. Everybody's
upset with everybody else, and the offensive players hate the
defense and defense even like Robert Salas gave up two plays,
(22:20):
I know, thirteen points. Really one big play, one play,
the touchdown one the faroh Brown, that's it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
One good throw and then Williams had to leave because
of injury.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
We talked about it last night. And the next play
they can't get any kind of pass rush, so Brown's
able to sneak out and then spread to the end zone.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's it, right. Everybody kept saying they gave up fifteen points.
You know, they gave up thirteen. Zach Wilson gave up
the other two.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
But I will say yes, and Wilson also gave up points,
Yes he did. But I will say this, there could
be a little bit of a silver lining and help
could be on the way right now. Big headline today
was Aaron Rodgers, who's closer to us here in LA
than he is to New York right now, hanging out
coming off of his surgery, and here he is talking
(23:04):
about how after he saw the Sunday's game and saw
players on the sideline getting animated, he wants the Jets
to stick together.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
We need to understand this is part of it. It's
not always going to be pretty. The most important thing
is winning shot. What happened in Green Bay they were
down seventeen nothing and came back and won that game.
An ugly game, eighteen seventeen doesn't matter. It's like you
win the game. That's the most important thing. However, you
got to get it done. So, you know, there's been
I think too many little side conversations and we just
need to grow up a little bit on offense and
(23:32):
lock in and do our jobs everybody and not point
fingers at each other. And that's everybody, you know. We
don't point fingers at the coach and staff, don't point
fingers at each other's get back to work and get
the job done.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
So that was from the Pat mcaview show earlier today.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I like that he got that Packers reference and the
Packers came back. I caret you.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
He had that on the big screen without me and
the Jets jet the Jets were a big screen, and
then then he was like, oh this guy. Then as
soon as Zach Wilson got sacked and didn't get touched,
he put the Packers on the big screen. Now, let
me say this. Here's Aaron Rodgers after the surgery, hanging
out in Malibu, whatever he's doing, still doing Pat McPhee interview,
(24:12):
saying great things.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Jets need to grow up a little bit, and they
do because these are the younger players that are losing
it a little bit. And I understand all of this,
but here's where help could be on the way. Aaron Rodgers,
you're in Malibu, you're probably listening. Get on a plane,
or if you can't fly, get on a bleeping train.
They'll take it three days on a train. Get to
(24:33):
New York. Jets need you. The Jets need his leadership
right now. They need him around the team. They need
him talking to them. They need his presence there because
right now everything is insane, Jason. They got Trevor Simmey
and what are you talking about him there?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They need.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They need him on the sideline during games. They need
him talking to the quarterback. They'm talking to the receivers.
They need his presence normally. I'm a big disciple of
Bill Parcels. I go, okay, I don't like injured I
don't like injured players being around a team because you know,
you don't want to reminder of what's not there. But
there's no way you can get out of the fact
that Aaron Rodgers isn't there, and the fact that he
(25:13):
can be there and help with his leadership and his
presence because he brought the Jets the swagger with his presence.
If he's just there on the sideline, it's a big deal. So,
I mean, I think you can fly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'm not a doctor, but he had to surgery a
couple weeks ago, so I think he can fly again.
If not, or a train, there's very comfortable trains. Woody
Johnson would get one of those snow piercer trains, get
you around the country and get you to Jets headquarters
so you could be there for the game. Maybe you
get there on Sunday. Maybe he's in the box with
Taylor Swift hanging out and talking, but the Jets need him.
I get that he's talking here and that's great, but dude,
(25:46):
do this on the sideline. Do this in the locker room,
because that's what the Jets need. And if you're listening,
and I'm sure you are, we're on here in Los Angeles. Yes,
Aaron Rodgers the Jets need you.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
He did reference that you might see someone at the
game on Sunday, and everybody assumed, no, it's Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's like no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Forgetting about that, Aaron Rodgers, maybe you were teasing an
appearance by yourself. Take it over with a headset because
they need you.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Twitter and out about a fresca. Mike gets swollen down
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
I want to see the what's the what does he say?

the way the challenge went Fenley, we were gonna see
if ty shirt and Frostburg, we're gonna do your update
at the top of the hour. Yet I heard your
voice doing somebody got Scott Shapiro.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Well, actually, let me do this. You do the update first,
and then I'll give you a progress report. I like that,
like a report card.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah all right. The other thing is this be your
own person, okay, don't don't say like And and the
Marlins were guillotine by the red flabberg acid. And yes,
and there there was a you know, there was the
Dodgers win and they truncate the Rockies. You know, you

(30:10):
be yourself when you're doing the updates. Okay, all right,
now we're gonna do this, right, I'm ready. All right,
let me get my finger next to the dump. But
I say, all right, get that you on your pressure.
Fuck all right, I think we're ready. And just so
anybody knows however this goes, this was justin Frostburg's idea. Okay,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
All right, the Angels doing their best impersonation of the
Dodgers to night, plombering the Rangers nine to one. But
in fun news, the brains are actually doing something even
more incredible, and that's actually winning games, as they took
out the Cubs seven to six and other nudes in
MLB history. Over Here, the Diamondbacks are trying their best
to not look so privy as they're going fifteen over
(30:52):
the White Sox, Sorry Mike in the final tonight, and
some other news around the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
As Jason Smith likes to say, to make sure you
know how to pronounce.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
It, Aaron Rodgers is still flabbergascid as he is being
one of the most vocal NFL players in history, and
not even completing a single four plays incomprehension. That's unbelievable.
Now other news as well, Jason Smith will love this one.
Jets added QB Simeon to come in as their savior
as Kaepernick actually was inquiring about signing himself, but many
(31:20):
people are questioning if he's actually the man for the job.
And in other news, sources are saying that the w
NBA nears an expansion club in the Bay Area. I'm
not Brian Fenley.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yes, let's go.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
That was so much better it is. That's f that's
pretty sure. And you hit the post. He was the
most important part.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
That was very good.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That was really good. Thank you, Jason. No, no, well,
and he went to other news a lot in other news,
this other game and this other news and other news.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Don't forget that most people have a first name and
a last name. You said last name, but maybe include
the first name just occasionally.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Okay, well, yeah, you're done.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
You can go home now, Brian, you had a good run.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
How about the fact, Jason, I ended with w NBA,
And that's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
I did.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
That was pretty good. And right now, off time, right now,
So I'm saying, Brian getting them in the in the updates,
Dan Byer took his phone from ready to press send
to you and instead called Scott Shapiro boss and said, hey,
so could we pay alex Tyshirt the same rate? You
can do updates as well as engineer.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The funny thing is they would do that.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Can the engineer? Can you run the show and do
updates and you get the same salary. I will be
Tom Looney number two.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
A so on.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
The next thing we could do is, after you do that,
we can have Ai Alex ty Shirt doing the updates.
Just pay me one time for my voice image. That's
all I asked. I will say that kind of sounded
like an AI version. Really, yes see I kind of
a little bit of an AI verse. Okay, I like
that a little bit, you say first, but I was
pretty impressed. Well, I should say too. There was no prep.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
I literally just opened up a sign and just read
stuff office, you'll be a simon you again.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
It's pretty It's pretty easy to do updates. I'm just
saying I'm assuming people prep for it. I just went
off to fly, all right, Brian Fedley, how do you
feel about that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
He went He went home oh, Tischer has attacked an
entire part of the profession.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Won't turn his microphone on now, he won't turn his
microphone on all his uh, his job just got taken.
We're do it called downsizing now here. Hope you hope
you know this, Nouri, Yeah, turn me on. I mean
not literally, just just certain turn your mic on there
at the worst possible moment. It's the worst possible moment
(33:44):
right there.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I'm gonna give you a B plus in honesty. Yeah,
in all honesty inflection. I mean, you could have varied
that a little bit. And like you said, there was
a little bit of redundancy on the in other news
and other news. You might want to include again the
first name of some of these key people, because sometimes,
like in sports, there might be the same last name
(34:06):
for multiple athletes.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Is there that many athletes?
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Aren't there?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Like just ten guys?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah, we only talk about ten of them.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
I just keep hearing you and Rob and Chris and
Smith talking about the same nine.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Got Roger was the fact I actually brought an opinion
to the update.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Yeah, I mean I did that, and then I got shunned,
and I was I was told by people that are
more powerful than me to probably knock that off.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Okay, were you really really did? Really what did you do?
Did you say did someone did the wrong team get slighted? Okay,
no team get guillotined. No, the wrong team guys shot
multiple times and bled to death? Like what what did?
What did you do? That was all right, keep it moving,
nobody cares.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Was an NFL There was an NFL trade, and essentially
I mentioned the trade, and then there was like these
little finer parts of the deal, like a seventh wrong pick,
and like, all right, guys, that back to you.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Wow, Wow, Frostburg is relentless. They said.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
I said they traded so and so and some table
scraps like the seventh round pick and this player as
if to say, like they didn't mean anything. And then
word got out on I guess you call it X
that I was editorializing.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And then I had a phone call, oh, somebody's relative intervention.
Probably some somebody's relative probably called and said, you said,
when your phone rings tonight, don't pick up. Word got
out on friendly. It got out on friendly right there.
That's being a good sport, PA. It was fun my
shirt because you know what I like, ty shirt. I
liked the enthusiasm you used.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
You like that.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah, it's not fake or all at all or terry fake. No,
he was enthusiastic to do the report. He just doesn't
know any of the players and teams he talked, but
he was still sounded very enthusiastic.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
I will say, you give me fifteen minutes to prep.
I knocked that out. I was off the fly.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
You usually last on the fly, off the fly, No, No,
on the fly was there and I jumped off. No,
but that's not a saying though on the floor in
fifteen minutes. Usually you're lasting thirty seconds with the update.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Well, I'm glad you put that in with the update
at the end.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it was just a bad joke though too obvious.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
No, it was. It was lost Mike privileges there, there,
it is there. It is all right. Well, thank you,
thank you, Brian Fendley for what what are you thinking?
I'm now I got to see what he does at
the bottom of the hour to raise his game for
the update here he lost his gig, you cald management.
So I would say first time or luck Jason, I
would just say talent. Oh wait, I have it right here.
Brandon Staley is taking over, so he's going to be
(36:35):
the new update actor here. He's that's good. We got
to talk to about fourth down place, but they won,
so is Yeah, as long as you win, as long
as long as you win, it's secure. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Carmen Live from the
Tireck dot Com studios. So look, one of the big
stories today. We talked about it a little bit. We'll
talked about a lot in the first couple of hours.
We'll have more in depth on it. Uh, the Jets
(36:58):
are greeted terms with Trevor Simon. He's gonna be on
the practice squad. Colin Kaepernick actually inquired about signing with
the Jets. He reached out to the Jets. And what
does this tell you that after Aaron Rodgers got hurt,
all these former quarterbacks were reaching out to the Jets
because they know, hey, this isn't gonna work with Zach
Wilson man. You had Matt Ryan reaching out and Carson
(37:19):
Wentz reaching out. And now Colin Kaepernick reaches out. And
Kaepernick reaches out and he says about being on the
practice squad, and he wrote a letter that was put
out on social media, and he says, listen, I'd love
to be on the practice squad. I'd love to be
able to give a team a look and just see
where it goes. He really, I just want a chance
to play again. And what I really can't believe is that,
(37:40):
you know, whatever you think about Kaepernick and before how
things went and him not being in the league, the
guy's been out for seven years. I mean, it's been
seven These guys have played since twenty sixteen. I mean,
at some point you have to understand it's just not
gonna happen anymore. And seven years has gone by and
it's been whoever's side you're on with everything that went on,
and certainly Colin Kaepernick as someone who who has divide
(38:02):
there's divided opinion on him throughout his career. But the
bottom line is seven years. I mean, you saw Deshaun
Watson's been out of the NFL for a little over
a year, and look how much trouble he had. I mean,
he had a good game on Sunday, but so far
up until he's not played well. I mean you're out
of the game for a year, You're rehabbing from an
injury for a year. That's a big deal. You're talking
about seven years. The guy's been around. At some point,
(38:24):
he's got to understand, Okay, it's over and I'm moving on.
You know, because when I see Kaepernick with this, I think, oh,
here's here's here's him trying to stay in the public
eye by saying, oh, here's an opening and link me
to it. I can still do it. I can still
do it.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It's seven years and it's done. Move on to something
else and whatever else it's gonna because it's just not
happening anymore. And when I when I see it now,
instead of sparking conversation about it, hey, would Kaepernick be
a good fit? Would he be this? Now we're seven
years gone by, I just feel bad for the guy.
I'm like, dude, you just it just sounds this just
sounds ridiculous, you know. I mean, you're talking about being
out of the game for this long and look, and
(39:01):
you really think you're gonna get back in now after
seven years. I mean, that's how I feel. That's what
I thought when Kaepernick happened. I don't know where you thought,
but that's where I was mine.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Yeah, I mean, look, we talked to Jordan Schultz about
this a couple of weeks ago, that this was something
what was that on the twelfth of September, right, he
had put that out saying, hey, the agent had reached out,
and then Jake Cole puts out the letter today and
we talked about it then. And look, it gets the
fan base and any movement around Kaepernick to reinvigorate some
(39:36):
of those debates and arguments and certainly talking points of
the last seven years, not to the same and with
the same juice and authority that they did, and certainly
not creating the national stir that it did once upon
a time, but there's still a little of that that resonates.
And again with the state of quarterback play across the league,
(39:58):
we talked about it a lot, the number of quarterbacks
that took snaps last year. You know, people will be
quick to say, you're telling me he's worse than in
cert quarterback here any answers, I don't know, but it
seems the time has passed so like the debates on
it at this point are just more all right, you're
just killing time more than something that any of these
(40:21):
teams will actually consider bringing in. For many reasons. Right
time elapsed quarterbacks, what a backup quarterback is, right to
some semblance, a parallel along the Tebow world after a while.
But it's just a talking point that's going to continue
(40:42):
to come up in these situations, and here we are
giving it. It's three minutes tonight when Trevor Simmyon joins
the Jets
