Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome inside. Happy NFL schedule release Day. Yay, it's
the Jason Smith Show with my bes friend Mike Harmon.
Oh yeah, big day today, Big day today, tonight shoe

NFL schedule release Day. Okay, this song the NFL on
Fox theme song of all that, and we're gonna do
(01:13):
something really fun tonight. Uh when it comes to release day, right?
Something that that that that No, Oh, the show's done. Uh. Now,
whenever I hear the I think of the Titans schedule
release Was it last year or two years ago? Where
they asked the people on the street, Hey, what logo
is this team? Oh? Yeah, the man on the street.
And then they would say, you know, week one, who's this?
(01:35):
They got the Miami Floridians And then they would show
the Dolphins logan here and it was hysterical, like you
knew it was coming every single time, right, who's that team? Oh? Oh, oh,
that's uh that that's absolutely the Cowboys. It's absolutely the Cowboys.
And then you hear the and it would be the
(01:55):
Cults logo. Yeah, I feel like I want to walk
around with a group of musicians and then and just
bust that out as I encounter different people on the street.
Think that would be fun. That's the Uh oh that's
the Seahawks. Yeah, Seahawks, absolutely, Seahawks. Yeah, Atlanta Falcons. Right
like me, at least you try. Every time I hear
(02:17):
that sting, I think about the Titans fan But yes,
NFL schedule release day is here and everybody's checking what
they've seen. All right, are you going through? Okay, we'll
win this game? We'll lose this game. Oh we're going
twelve and five. We're going to the playoffs. Are we
doing all to seventy two tonight? Yeah, we're ranking them
all one through two seventy two. That's what we're doing today. No,
(02:40):
I got my marks.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Out.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Let's got that out. We're not gonna do it, but
just think about that, like, does anybody do that? Rank one?
When the schedules comes out, we're gonna rank how good
the game is, how desirable it is of a game
to watch, what the stakes are likely going to be,
and we rank them from one to two seventy two.
Give me enough energy drinks, I can add that by
tomorrow night shot. How many of those how many of
the games between two fifty and two seventy two would
(03:05):
involve the Jets? How many? Well, there are those five
teams that have no primetime games, which tells you exactly
what the NFL thinks that because that gives you a
zero primetime game, which means they don't even think you're
worthy of a Thursday and night football. You know, because
you know there's people that say, listen, I don't think
everybody should vote when it comes to elections, because if
you're not fair. Why should I vote? Where if I
(03:26):
spend a lot of time looking at the issues and
I vote with a conscience, and I vote, I'm I
actually did some work, you pay a tax? Why should yeah,
all those things? You should my vote count as much
as someone who has no idea what they're doing and
is randomly you know, as I say, it's the same
thing like, well, should everybody be on on on primetime? No?
Not everybody needs a primetime game? No, not everything. They
don't want to do it. I don't want to see it. No,
(03:47):
you don't need to have that. We don't need that.
It's like when pitchers were hitting, a lot of them
didn't want to do it. Don't you need to see
them way at the three balls or just standing there
with the bat on their shoulder. The worst is when
they would have him in the All Star Game. Why
is the picture batting in the All Star Game? National
League Park. We've gotta be be beholden to the Arcadane rules.
What are you talking about? Come on, man, But what
(04:09):
we're gonna do tonight part of what we're gonna obviously,
there's big games to break down, which we'll get to.
The games coming up in a couple of minutes. But
you're probably one of the best things you can do today, right,
to be honest, this is positivity Thursday. It's all listen
because you know the Knicks are off. We need something
at the NBA is so important right now in this
round of the playoffs that they scheduled zero games for today,
(04:33):
the extra day off for the Tea, Wolves and the
Spurs so they can play a doubleheader on a Friday night. Now,
there is a really big takeaway from what you just said,
which we'll get There is a big takeaway from that.
But the most fun thing you can do today is
what Because every team now knows we can't mail it
(04:54):
in when we come to our schedule releases. We have
to do something. We have to go for it, right.
And that's why I love everything that the teams do,
even if some of them are terrible, because we're still
going out there. We're not just mailing it in. We're
not just hey, here are the games, here's the schedule.
It's what you want to know anyway, No, do something fun, right.
It's a fun day for the fans, right, and that's
(05:15):
a fun thing. So watching all the releases, we're gonna
give you the official grades the best and the worst
of the schedule releases. Okay, and what makes a good
schedule release, Well, you gotta make me laugh. It's gotta
be fun. It's gotta be entertaining. I like the hidden
messages or having to have a repeat viewing of it,
(05:37):
Like it's a really layered movie where oh I didn't
get that joke the first time, but but I got
it the second time. I got here, I got this.
So there's different things. But sometimes just what hits you right, like,
oh it hit you? I like that. Ah, you know
what that was just okay, ah you know yeah. No
A so I gotta say we'll do a couple right
now because it gave me my biggest laugh, because it
(05:58):
gave me my biggest laugh, and the whole thing was funny,
but it gave me my biggest laugh. Getting an A plus,
and I don't how many A pluses I'm gonna give out,
Okaynat the big of the A plus the Colts, because
the Colts went through the entire release with the Simpsons. No,
I was that was well done, rolling all of those
(06:19):
moments from so many years. Yeah, all these different scenes
from the Simpsons that they're putting in has to do
with whatever team they're playing that week. Homer does says something,
does something right, he gets off the jump. Oh sure.
But the best because when it gets to week eighteen
and it says week eighteen the Browns, and it's a
scene where Homer's in the stands at a sporting event
(06:39):
and everybody's quiet, and it just says week sixteen Browns
and it just sounds and then you Homer stands up
and you just hear boring. That was a nice punctuation mark.
Absolutely was the best one. I could watch that over
and over, obviously being the Simpsons. How are you gonna
how you're gonna go wrong with that? I don't know
(07:01):
that I'm giving out another right, We'll starting the show
with the bank. I don't know that I'm giving out
another A plus. But that moment where you just in
a game and you hear nothing. You see week sixteen
at Brown's and just boring. And then they go to
week seventeen, we just cut right off it and go
to it. No, there's something to be said for let's
let's go where we know we have the popularity, get
the rights and build it in. I find it funny
(07:22):
that all of them end up by saying, hey, head
to Ticketmaster, the official ticketing partner. Yeah, oh you're a
NFL that yes, I mean, you got to take care
of some business. It can't just be all sunshine, lollipops
and rainbows. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. The uh
Low Steelers present on was pretty good. That was good.
See because now now here's the thing is that this
is why this is so more ingro e. I'm gonna
(07:45):
give this Steelers an A minus. The entire presentation, I
believe is in Spanish. It's like the credits for a
Spanish western uh. And they're showing all the players who
are going to be playing this year, and everything is
in Spanish, and you see the tag as Low Steelers,
and and you and I are watching it, We're going,
is there an English or is this it? Like? No,
I think this is it. And it's the old cp
(08:07):
A tone from the seventies, and and you I don't
know what anybody is saying and how they're you know,
some of the words I get because I took Spanish
in high school. I was really good at it. But
so I I don't understand. Here's Jalen Warren. Here's DK Metcalf.
So I kind of dig that. I'm gonna give the
Steelers an am. I we started the big grades first,
big grates. First we started with positivity, A plus for
the Colts, a minus for the Steelers. Pretty good and
(08:28):
the Steelers. Then they had another video, uh in English
with Billy Gardell walking as a security guard, kind of
wandering around. So then so you got so the fact
that the Yespanolo was fan. So that's kind of the
grindhouse of schedule releases because we got two movies for
the price of we got double up. We got Death
(08:48):
Proof and Planet Terror. Okay, a nice yeah, so that's
a nice little win. Roma Don Jay as as Bob Ross. Yeah,
see solid. See here's the thing, and here's the thing.
I liked it, and it's not and it's and I
feel I feel bad. But it's gonna be a rough
night for you because you have the toughest schedule in
the end. No, it's not good. But I traveled the
fewest miles again, so that's good. In the last couple
(09:09):
of years, more penalties have been called on opponents than
any other team uh in the NFL, So that that's good.
I'm gonna give the Bears a c because I love
the premise Roma Dune, says Bob Ross. He's got the
all the hair and he's doing the happy little clouds.
It's pretty cool. But after the first like thirty seconds,
right we're drawing up. You know, we're drawing this cloud
(09:30):
is white right here. You know, we nobody says we're
gonna have here. Here's some cats down here, and okay,
a week for if we screw up a third, we
could we could take it into a jet. But they're
going out out of order for the game.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I know.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It was all over, so that's why I'm like, okay,
And after the first thirty seconds, I'm like, okay, I
need something more than this. I'm a little bored right now.
I mean, it looked good. They put a lot of
work into it to put it, but I was a
little Boards'm gonna I'm gonna give the bear I'm I'm sorry,
but yeah, it was just something a little different because
you don't really see a lot of Romadunze as the
(10:05):
marketing center for a little bit, you know, and against
the grain there and I will tell you this, we
are ahead of the curve of this take right? How long? Right?
How long until hey? Radio team and I have people
in mind? How long until it's going to be? Hey?
How do you not have Caleb Williams? He's your guy?
(10:26):
How do you not have him as Bob Ross doing that?
Caleb Williams? Do they still like him? Do his teammates
like him? Is he still as good as we think
he is? How do you not have Caleb get designs
on his fingernails of the schedule release? If he's the painter,
he's already got his fingernails painting. Why was he not there?
Did he not show up eight seven seven ninety? Did
he say he didn't want to do it? There's problems
(10:47):
in Chicago because you had you had problems, man, you
got problems now. Either that or he's working too hard
in the lab to get that much better. I think
I think the DJ Moore interception killed him, and now
who knows, probably have to trade him before the season starts,
and terribly about one that I wish they had gone
against the grain as we watched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
with the whole Bay Watch thing. Yeah, but it was
(11:10):
just a weak excuse, like Preser had actually kept his
shirt on. I would have been more impressed if he
was in a three PI suit. Will everybody else was
running around the beaches doing what they're doing. Tampa Bay
does a Tampa Bay Bay Watch, and it's Baker Mayfield
in the very beginning. He's the the Charlie's Angels. Charlie. Yeah,
I'm giving you the assignment while I'm holding a baby. Uh,
(11:31):
and it's some of it's fun. A couple of the
linemen and they're getting ash and it looked good. The
same camera work for I'm gonna give that a B minus. Well,
I raise it up to a bee just because you
used the theme song, which meant we were able to
play it at full volume. That's true. Yeah, but that's you.
You're in after after the kid from the Falcons is
(11:53):
flying the kite and and he walks over and cuts
the That was that was the peak. That was the
highlight for us. Yeah. You know what, honestly, I could
have used more slow motion. That's a fair like not
not to you know, to run around nobody slow motion. Yeah,
but I mean for the esthetic, I think you needed
that a little bit. I think you needed some slow
(12:13):
motion there. So in order so far Colt SAT plus
Steelers ain't minus bears get to see B minus for
the bucks if you want to be nice, if you're
one of those greater and this is why, see your
this goes against your grain because you don't want to.
If you were a teacher, you wouldn't curve grades at all.
If the kid came to you would say, no, you
(12:35):
got a seventy nine. That's a seventy nine. No, I'm sorry.
The highest kid that the kid in the kid in
the class of the highest grade was in eighty four.
Eighty four is his grade to Okay, not rounding that
up to one hundred and yet, No, you just give
it a be because no, no, you gave it a
B minus. Yeah, I give it a B because the
song made me smile. God, But is it that simple
(12:57):
with the song for you? Is it that simple? Well,
I mean, look, there's there's only one A plus plus plus.
We know what team that is. Yeah, okay, win every year?
Yeah okay, but I mean but what you mentioned the
Titans again. They did the Man on the Street. Yeah, yeah,
that was Oh that that's the uh, that's the the
the the new New Brunswick, New Brunswick New Bruns. That's all.
(13:19):
That's the Argonauts. That's the Argonauts. But they but they
used the fox by going hey, is that are you?
And then it was let's match up. You know a
guy who was bald and walking around, Are you big domb? Hey?
Are you big domb? Exit out bout of Fresca, Exit

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Fox Sports Radio remix Jason Smith's Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. You know Tay Shirt. I actually almost
called you on the way home last night and Frostburg
you too. Oh god, I'm trying picked up. No, no, no.
I'm driving home and I'm listening to Maximum Metallica station
and they're playing Yes, I know, I just found it
(16:10):
a month ago. Okay, now it's been around almost a year.
I just found it.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And they were playing a version of Fade to Black
that was this like bluegrass country version, and I'm like,
oh my god, this is either the greatest thing I've
ever heard or the worst thing and I never want
to hear it again. But I'm just listening the whole thing. Yeah,
well not no, not till I get home, man, don't
don't drive and then do it now. Brownie's at Home
(16:34):
was the one by Iron Horse. I think it's almost like, hey,
Mumford and Sons, we're gonna let you do a Metallica song. Okay,
We're do fade to Black. Oh okay, and they keep
yelling not your fun. But my listening, I got a cut.
Is this real? Like It's one of those times where
you have like a moment where you go, am I
(16:54):
still on Earth? Am I did I get into the multiverse?
Is this is this a real thing? Is this is
his song? Really? It was postmodern juke boxing with you.
Am I gonna look up and see, like you know,
there's gonna be UFOs in the sky flying around And
I'm like, okay, I'm in you know, I'm on Coruscant now,
Like what we did that two weeks ago? Remember it happened.
They admitted it existed, and nobody cared. At this point,
(17:19):
I really think the government could come out and say,
here's evidence that UFOs exist. Here's an alien, and we're
gonna interview them and talk to him. People would go, yeah, okay,
I mean really that's where I can't believe that's where
we're at with aliens, but that's where that's where well.
But just in general, all of a sudden, they pulled
back government. You know, the fake wall, you know, and
it's just a Hollywood studio is remember all the stuff
(17:42):
that were conspiracy theories. Politicians, there's all the binders. Politicians
just want to keep trying to make UFOs happen, Like hey,
we get that every day is bad news and there's
things happening, and so hey, so here's aliens because everybody
loves stories about aliens. No, no, no, no, they keep
trying to make aliens happen. I feel like you're trying
to sell a product that I think. Maybe we're past aliens.
(18:03):
I showed you they were celebrating a good look by
Grogu on the red carpete for the Mandalorian and grow.
Maybe because we get we get aliens everywhere, whether they're invade.
We've seen them invade Earth plenty of times. That's the
thing we've seen conditioned you know. I'll take it from
your call. Yeah, okay, well it's all aliens. But this
is a real one, not not like you know, made
(18:23):
on a on a stage at the end c Yeah, okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Instead of pinching your skin to see if it's real,
do you like eat a hamburger?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You know it's really I don't now something I'm in
the brought Hamberg. I'm Joey Pants from the Matrix. I
know the steak isn't real, but it's so good, all right?
Did you a liquid hamburger? Oh? I don't know. That's
that's blended. Blend that thing up after an oral So no,
why would I do that. I don't liquid burger. I
don't get the taste of having a burger. No, I
(18:51):
would have liked the flavors be there. No, no, no,
I want the feeling of eating the burger. Well, see
now you're talking textures. These are two very different things.
That's oh, touches a big deal. Every single every single
cooking show you ever see, person gets sent home. Why
are your texture? The texture? Oh? Texture and presentation? Oh okay,
Oh it's good. Yeah, I'm going home. Because of that,
I was reminded one of the great competitions that we
(19:14):
should be watching as part of our our evening perusal
of the sporting world at large, is is it Cake?
It feels like we used to see that in with
regularity here and suddenly it's gone. And I was reminded
of that show today and I'm like, I need to
go catch up on a few seasons of that and
see if I can't fake you out by having you
(19:34):
eat a handbag instead of a cake. So, with today
being NFL schedule release day, right, a big deal? Every
like we're gonna continue to grade the best of the
and the worst of the NFL schedule leases, right, nobody
does that. We just gave out four big grades out
of the top and our first A plus went out
a few minutes ago. Boring, but uh, for the games themselves, right,
(19:56):
Certainly we now see games taking front and center staate
and some we knew. We knew that, We knew that
the Thanksgiving Day games were here, we knew what we
were gonna get first game of the regular season with
the with the forty nine ers in the rams. But
there's some games that are absolutely huge for a couple
of different reasons. And the first one I'm gonna give
you Week one, we found out today and of course
(20:17):
the NFL having a sense of humor. Uh, And this
is a big game because these are two teams that
are gonna be fighting hand over fist for that number
one overall pick and the Tankathon for next year Tankathon
Jets and the Titans. They're sending the Jets to play
Robert Solo, their former head coach, who signed a bunch
of their old players. The NFL's got a sense to him.
(20:38):
Of course, let's said the Jets play the Titans. These
are gonna be two of the bottom And the only
way you can make this any better is if the
Dolphins were involved. We'll get them later on. These are
gonna be two of the worst teams in the NFL
to be looking for and I know the Titans are
gonna say, man, we're looking for another guy next year
because lukam Ward was just not good. Man. He just
wasn't say I have hope for him. If you don't
(21:00):
know why Robert Salis is head coach, that's how I
know Robert Sallis's head coach will be for long and
it won't be cam Ward's fault. I've not seen it. No,
no quarterback has played well with Robert sala as his
head coach, so I know cam Warden is not going
to be good. See. The real sense of humor would
have been to just schedule this for week eighteen. No,
you gotta have it. You gotta make it week one,
(21:21):
where at least, hey, there's football and it's new for everybody.
We got football week eighteen. Well the first week is
it's it's it's it's not later on. But this is
gonna be a big game that's gonna go really because
these are two teams that are gonna be terrible. They're
gonna be in the bottom three of the league, and
you're gonna come down to the end when arch Manning
is picking up his Heisman Trophy and you're gonna say, man,
(21:41):
we gotta have that number one pick. But ah, we
beat the Jets week one. We got that advantage over
the Jets, and we're not gonna pick that early or
vice versa. This is a huge Tankathon game, maybe the
biggest Tankathon game of the season. All right, Week one
that is the lowest over under currently said at thirty
eight and a half points with the Titans at two
(22:02):
and a half point favorite. I'm telling you, man, this
is this is good a field goal kicker. You're gonna
go back and say, wow, you see, you see why
the Jets have the number one pick. It was that
Week one nineteen sixteen win that the Titans had that's
keeping them from getting arch Manning number one, which means
so they're giving us game two seventy two right off
the jump, which means then they'll take Dante More at
(22:23):
number two and he'll be in All Pro for ten
years and arch Manning will be in the CFL in five.
So I mean that's how it's gonna go for the Jets.
Whatever the Jets do is gonna be wrong. Is Blue
Bomber is the rough Rider? Uh so, that's a big one.
That's a big one right off the bat. That's a
big one. No, that's a that's a good start. That
is how you start things with the bang. Because you know,
(22:46):
my theory on all of that is that you don't
need to everybody's been so thirsty for football, we don't
need any exotic matchups off the jump. Now, we also
know we are getting the Patriots and the Seahawks week one.
Now to dive into this because this is more than
just a Super Bowl rematch, right, first time since twenty
(23:06):
twelve where we've had a Super Bowl rematch being the
first game of the next year. Uh yes, should in
in in all likelihood, the Patriots have a bit of
a rollback this year? Yeah? Should they? Should they come
back to earth little bit? Yeah, the schedule last year
was really easy. This is the Super Bowl champs opening
up at home. Uh yeah, it just should be a
(23:28):
Seattle Seahawks win. But this is where the Patriots are
gonna continue or the first time they're gonna realize. Man,
the Vrabel stuff is just gonna hang over our team forever,
because right now, what have we got in the last week.
There's been no video drops of any new videos with
Rabel and Diana Rossini. I was told there were more
(23:50):
photos in one mind. I'm sure we're waiting. We're wait,
they'll be there charger Chargers release time. But we haven't
had anything in a week, which means we're probably a
week away from from some more videos. But there is
been no talk from the Patriots about the status of
Mike Rabel. They are just hoping that this thing goes away.
(24:11):
It's clear that that is their strategy. And as long
as nothing that implicates Rabel in a sense where the
Patriots or the Titans got any sort of favorable coverage
that resulted in a difference on the field, like the
Julio Jones story from a week and a half ago,
where hey, maybe Diana Rossini put out some messages that
scared some teams off about going out and bidding on
(24:34):
Julio Jones, So Julio Jones became a Titan like. If
more stuff like that comes out, then the Patriots are
gonna be forced acted. As much as they don't want
to as much as they don't care about the controversy.
Their coaches live in and and and their owner lives
in and their quarterbacks live and they don't care. I
get it. But as long as they're gonna have to
deal with if something like that comes up, because that's
where the NFL will get involved. WHOA, whoa. What was
(24:55):
a competitive advantage on the field? You know what would
have would have really helped in that case to kind
of push the needle if Julio Jones had been what
was that word good?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Good?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
He was hurt and he couldn't stay on the field,
So any advantage that was perceived years later, you go, well,
that really didn't move the needle at all. So that
really doesn't matter. So for the NFL, who very quickly
washed their hands of all of it, pending other information.
Of course, uh, the Julio Jones being the thing everybody
(25:29):
wanted to bang the drum about, it didn't hold a
lot of water because he was a non factor. So
that's the only way it doesn't come out. So let's
just say, for argument's sake, that doesn't come up, right.
So now let's let's take a look for the Patriots
going through Hey, they were in the off season. Now
we finished the mini camp. Vrabel's not been around. It's
(25:49):
a dead time we come back, there's gonna be other
stories and and this is hopefully gonna recede, and they're
gonna see that over the course of the summer while
they can control the narrative where it's training camp, and
they can control who asks what and what they what
kind of access they give to people for practices. Okay,
we're trying to keep as much of a lid on
it as possible. Now it still is not gonna happen,
(26:10):
but they're gonna try to say, what, let's just get
through the summer, right, We're holding it back as much
as we can. But if we just get through the summer,
then we're gonna wind up being okay. But they're gonna
get to game one week one and then suddenly on
social media, it's gonna be everywhere. The questions are gonna
be asked everywhere about Mike Rabel. It's it's gonna become
(26:31):
part of the Patriots' identity. Is Mike Rabel Diana Rossini
and the affair allegedly and how it's been mishandled from
the beginning, and that's when the Patriots are gonna realize
we're never gonna get past this. That's and they're gonna
know this Rabel thing is just going to hang over
us and hang over him the rest of the time.
He is our coach. The memes are gonna come out
(26:53):
every Sunday. It doesn't matter if we lose a game
to the Jets, it's gonna be Mike Rabel holding hands
with Gino Smith on the roof. It's gonna be if
we lose a game to the Dolphins, it's gonna be
Malik Willis next to him at the pool the video.
They're never gonna get past it. And this is when
if things don't get really crazy for Rabel job wise
over the summer, because that's when that's what that's when
(27:14):
Rabel can lose his job. As if it comes out
that hey, Diana Rassini and her coverage gave him a
competitive advantage, that's a thing for Rabel's job. When the
Patriots realize this week one, with all the attention on
this game and it's Verbel front and center, and who
knows what's gonna happen, They're gonna say, Okay, if this
season goes bad, we're moving on from Vrabel. They're gonna
they're gonna they went to the super Bowl, So really,
(27:37):
we can't just fire the guy if we don't really
have a reason to where the NFL doesn't make us,
but it's gonna make this year a winner go home
year for Vrabel, where if the Patriots struggle and they
go six and eleven, it's gonna be Okay, Well we
got to the super Bowl, but we regressed and we
have problems, and now the Verrabel thing isn't gonna go away,
and now we need a new head coach. That's how
(27:58):
the next few months are gonna go for the Patriots
and playing this game that's gonna be the marquee game
of the week opening week, this is gonna put more
of a spotlight and the Patriots gonna realize we just
no matter how much we can't keep this away, we
can't unring this bell, and we're gonna have to deal
with it. And he again, he's gonna be coaching for
his job, either hoping the other shoot doesn't drop with
(28:19):
something as far as his coverage from Dana Rassini or
not winning enough games this fall going to the Super
Bowl three and a half months ago, and now he's
coaching for his job. Yeah, I mean some of it
comes back to I think we get a big spider
Man meme of coaches, insiders and everybody else in terms
of what constitutes getting favorable coverage. Right, there's a very
(28:42):
big spider web if we want to go down that
path for a very boy. I mean, it's just the
basic math of you're now playing an advanced schedule, whereas
last year you weren't right, you were playing it your
easy schedule or as easy as it's gonna be based
on the you're finished the year before, the number of
(29:02):
times they faced teams where guys and key contributors on
either side of the ball, we're not being able to play.
So taking full advent in the fact that the Jets
and the Dolphins are in the division, I mean, come on,
it's it's right there. There's four games on your schedule
right away. But they do buy all metrics have what
the fifth to seventh hardest schedule I have seen. The
(29:24):
rankings depends on if you just go based on pass
record or you're starting to extrapolate, uh into the way
things will play out based on how things are constituted now,
but you know, once we get to week one, I
just ask you this, if nobody had the stones to
ask jj Reddick about rujy hachimurras Is and then then
sipping a beverage when he needed a three point shot,
(29:47):
which of these guys are gonna stand and go hey, Mike?
Oh no, no, no, Mike, let's go, let's go back.
Everybody is weighing in on this is so I can't
weighing in. But once they're actually in front of him, Mike,
do you feel that you weren't prepared enough because of
all the stuff that went on this summer? Do you
feel that maybe if you didn't spend enough time holding
hands with Dana Rossini on a rooftop or at dinner
(30:08):
with her in twenty twenty when she was pregnant, that
maybe you would wait, wait, why why am I being
taken out? Why have I been taking it out? It
might have been taken off this effect because it was
a dry heat in Sedona, Arizona. He's gonna be frustrated.
I'm telling you it's gonna be in awe, It's gonna be.
But he always looks frustrated anyway, I know, but that's
his natural state. The Pats are gonna think we could
(30:29):
just whistle through the graveyard on this and I'm sorry
you can't. And then that's when it's gonna come come home.
We can try to control it all summer and all right,
we're gonna sweat and we're okay. Now the games are here, good,
good games are here. We're all good. No no, no
games is when this is just gonna get started. Games
when it's just because I guarantee you. However, this has
been getting out now where we've had this reveal won
(30:49):
every couple of weeks or so. You don't think people
whoever's got this is holding stuff until the first week
of the regular season, where here's another video bam, right
before the first game, Bam, here's another video. Start ramping
up and handing it out like you're the Riddler in
the Batman by Matt Reeves. But yeah, we we go
week to week and and the way you laid it
out was also, if we make it through the summer.
(31:11):
Immediately I started rewriting the Merle Haggard classic if we
make it through December exit out about a Fresca exit
swallowing down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harbon. Time to find out what's trending right now
in the wide world of sports. From someone who's just
spent the last half hour on repeat watching the Saints reveal,
it's pre eureau. I actually was.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Watching the Falcons reveal because I thought it was the Office,
but it's actually like a this is Sports Center one.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
We'll get to the Falcons. We got the Falcons, yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Okay, okay, and the Rams one I think was the
best one. Just want to throw that out there. You
guys didn't talk about that, so just like we.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Got four hours previous, No, it's a four hour show,
four hours we got, we got a long Way Togo.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I hate the Rams.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I just wanted to throw it out there.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
That's like, that's gonna be my only like you know
which we'll call it contribution to that Like schedule.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Release, Well, it's thirty one teams.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
The Jets have already been elimited.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
There you go, okay, and their news are revolving this
schedule release. You guys talked about the Patriots and Seahawks.
That is the season opener, and for the first time ever,
there will be a Thanksgiving Eve game between the Packers
and the Rams in LA and then for Thanksgiving out
the Bears at the Lions, Eagles at the Cowboys, and
the Chiefs at the Bills. And then for Christmas, it's
(32:25):
the first tripleheader ever that's happened on Christmas. And they're
all playoff teams, So the Packers at the Bills, the
playoff rematch between the Bills at the Broncos, and then
the NFC Championship remax between Remix or Remix rematch between
the Rams and the Seahawks. The Rams lead the way
with seven primetime games in twenty twenty six. Packers, Chiefs, Bills,
and Seahawks have six primetime games, and the Jets, Titans, Raiders,
(32:49):
Cardinals and Dolphins they have zero primetime games. And rightfully,
so rightfully, so I'll say that to Fernando Mendoza, that's
so sad okay. In the NHL Playoffs, the Canadians have
a taking it three two series lead after defeating the
Sabers is six to three. Right now, the Golden Knights
are outscoring the Ducks three to zero just ending that
first period in Anaheim. They are trying to close out
(33:10):
the Ducks in baseball, Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB leading
eighteenth home run of the season as Affillies defeat the
Red Sox at three to one. The Cubs avoid the
sweep and shut out the Braves two to zero, and
the White Sox they beat the Royals six to two,
and they have swept them and they're on a five
game win streak.

(34:39):
and I love putting this content out for you every
single night. Well, we got more from the NFL schedule
release day coming up in a couple of minutes. But
first it's time for the Play of the day and
it's I don't think it's going to be an NBA
play because there is no games tonight that would be
something spectacular. It means someone hit the playground. The Play
(35:00):
of the Day brought to you by ti i Rack.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been open customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tirerac dot
com is the way tire buying should be. What I
am told by our intrepid producer, Justin Frostberg is that
it is just a very special play of the day.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Man Russell Wilson is picked off for the seventh time
in a row. Today, Jets get absolutely jackhammered here in
Tennessee and have officially been a laymenlated from playoff contention.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Wow, final score fifty six to nothing. So he's gonna
start a Jets radio. He's starting week one. How about that?
It's radio Jason. He's gonna beat out Geno Smith and
start we got them? Yeah, oh sorry, Bob was shooesing
Jets radio right there, there we go. Yeah, Bob was
shoes to watch this fruition voice of the Jets. Right
if he can speak that in new existence, I mean,
(36:00):
that's some next level stuff. I don't science now. Now,
now here's the thing, right, So the Jets schedule release
like every and I gotta say this for every for
every team, they all went for it. Again, these grades
that we're giving out is just about, you know, how
entertaining it. But everybody went for production value for every
team is terrific, right, every It's not like anybody mailed
(36:21):
it in and just said oh okay, you know like
the Bills did last year when when Josh Allen said,
oh use ai and they just had Alan iverson, right. Yeah.
But uh the Jets release, which is like, uh like
they're there. They are combining paints on a palette and
it's all crazy colors for the different teams and insulting
(36:45):
the different teams, right, And I thought, okay, that's interesting.
But you know, and I thought, okay, and it's it's
just like there's not a lot of vocalization to it.
It's just mixing the colors. And you see the you know,
the colors that take shots at the other teams because
that's all they do. And so I said, that's kind
of fun. The Dolphins one was fun, yeah, because you
have of this because here's all the different colors. It's
(37:07):
del Boca Vista and Finkle and they mix it all
together and they and then they do the smear. Yeah.
Uh yeah, be minus be minus be minus that. That's
a big generous Yeah. There's not a lot to it. Yeah,
once you once, you do it once. Yeah, all right,
I see what the bid is Yeah, but there's I
have to really pay attention. Yeah. But the thing, the
(37:27):
thing I'm gonna say is that there's so many other
things that are gonna be bad for the Jets this
year that I feel like give them a B minus
on this one. Okay, Yeah, you know I could give
them a C plus. You know it's gonna get worse
that this is the best effort you're gonna get from
him this year. You're gonna get, uh the Raiders schedule release,
Raiders schedule release. Uh. Now here's the thing. This is
(37:51):
where justin Frossberg, you have to give a legitimate opinion
here because I like you give the grade right one
of your favorite movies as step Brothers. It's The Step
Brothers Fernano Mendoza meeting Kirk Cousins where they had some
stuff much like the movie and they're acting like each
other in the movie, and then there's a schedule reveal.
Sounds like they got your click suckers. I just want
(38:14):
to know, I mean, how many takes they did to
get to those best takes to include in the video
because Fernando is no But here's the thing, Banana Mendoza
is stiff. Kirk Cousins is fantastic. Oh yeah, no, he
plays it up. But that's exactly how I think he
is in real life, like they're playing this out like okay,
that's exactly what Kirk Cousins is like, like he's playing Yeah,
(38:36):
so I I would give what I would give now,
But Frostburg gets the official grade, being the official producer
of the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
What what?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
What do they get it? What's Fernande Lorian was a
pretty good line, though it's a it's an eight to
f grade. What are you giving him? You think I
clicked on that garbage because I'm gonna get Okay, if
you didn't watch it, I'll give it. I will give
the Raiders a beat plus B plus because I enjoyed
Kirk Cousins that much. I want to take your class.
I enjoyed Kirk Cousins that much. How good Kirk Cousins
(39:09):
was takes away from how wooden and stale. Fernando Mendoza
was with me, come on, come on, let's have a
little fun with it. Let's a little bit, let's do
some fun. Okay, Yeah, maybe maybe my brand of quirkiness
is a lot better than your brand of quirkiness Fernando. Okay,
he's got fifteen years to grow into it. If you
(39:31):
are picking the Raiders quarterback for Week one just based
on the schedule release, well then it's obviously going to
be Kirk Cousins because yeah, yeah, I mean I think
they just say, hey, just be yourself. Okay, that's what
I'll do. Touch my drum set. Yeah, but I did
like when he said, you gotta call me the Fernando
Lorian appropriate today because that's war that goes into the
(39:56):
high grade. Because obviously with all the stuff going on
the premiere of mandol o In and Grogu and Okay,
they knew the day it was coming that smart her
Cousins was wearing a Yoda shirt. Yeah, that smart stuff
right there. But this may be the highest grade the
Raiders get all year. One hundred and twenty dollars bobblehead
pre sale for to night as the Dodgers continued their
street giving something away if you go to the ballpark now,
(40:18):
I feel like I'm giving I'm giving higher grades to
the teams that I know that are stink, that are
gonna stink, and this might be the best we get
from them all year. The virtual hug for their for
their staff knowing that their team is going to stak
Like if it was an if I was a non
Jets fan, they'd probably get to see if you know,
Frostburg would get the Raiders an F for an F
minus if he could. But I feel like these teams
(40:40):
that are not good this maybe it, maybe I'm curving
it a little bit for them. But I just enjoyed
Kirk Cousins that much. He was good. I really did.
It's it's like, watch more of him in his Little
Harry Potter Idaway. It's like when you watch it when
you see a movie and you say, how is the movie? Well,
the movie was okay, but wow, the star was fantastic.
But that's me with one battle after another. I liked
all the individual performances, care for the movie, performance performance performances,
(41:04):
but like this, oh but it sounded like j Jonah
Jamison as I said that to Spider Man. But like
when when whoever is when you say, oh wow, that
person's gonna get nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress because
they they rose above the movie which was just an
okay movie. So how do we get Captain Kirk into
a movie?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, and did he build the Harry Potter Nook? He
is in Nevada, He's We got more on Kirk Cousin

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome inside. Happy NFL schedule release Day. Yay, it's
the Jason Smith Show with my bes friend Mike Harmon.
Oh yeah, big day today, Big day today, tonight shoe
brought to my tire Rack. For over forty years, tire
(00:51):
Racks been helping customers find the right tires for how,

tire Installation. Tire Act dot Com is the way tire

NFL schedule release Day. Okay, this song the NFL on
Fox theme song of all that, and we're gonna do
(01:13):
something really fun tonight. Uh when it comes to release day, right?
Something that that that that No, Oh, the show's done. Uh. Now,
whenever I hear the I think of the Titans schedule
release Was it last year or two years ago? Where
they asked the people on the street, Hey, what logo
is this team? Oh? Yeah, the man on the street.
And then they would say, you know, week one, who's this?
(01:35):
They got the Miami Floridians And then they would show
the Dolphins logan here and it was hysterical, like you
knew it was coming every single time, right, who's that team? Oh? Oh, oh,
that's uh that that's absolutely the Cowboys. It's absolutely the Cowboys.
And then you hear the and it would be the
(01:55):
Cults logo. Yeah, I feel like I want to walk
around with a group of musicians and then and just
bust that out as I encounter different people on the street.
Think that would be fun. That's the Uh oh that's
the Seahawks. Yeah, Seahawks, absolutely, Seahawks. Yeah, Atlanta Falcons. Right
like me, at least you try. Every time I hear
(02:17):
that sting, I think about the Titans fan But yes,
NFL schedule release day is here and everybody's checking what
they've seen. All right, are you going through? Okay, we'll
win this game? We'll lose this game. Oh we're going
twelve and five. We're going to the playoffs. Are we
doing all to seventy two tonight? Yeah, we're ranking them
all one through two seventy two. That's what we're doing today. No,
(02:40):
I got my marks.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Out.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Let's got that out. We're not gonna do it, but
just think about that, like, does anybody do that? Rank one?
When the schedules comes out, we're gonna rank how good
the game is, how desirable it is of a game
to watch, what the stakes are likely going to be,
and we rank them from one to two seventy two.
Give me enough energy drinks, I can add that by
tomorrow night shot. How many of those how many of
the games between two fifty and two seventy two would
(03:05):
involve the Jets? How many? Well, there are those five
teams that have no primetime games, which tells you exactly
what the NFL thinks that because that gives you a
zero primetime game, which means they don't even think you're
worthy of a Thursday and night football. You know, because
you know there's people that say, listen, I don't think
everybody should vote when it comes to elections, because if
you're not fair. Why should I vote? Where if I
(03:26):
spend a lot of time looking at the issues and
I vote with a conscience, and I vote, I'm I
actually did some work, you pay a tax? Why should yeah,
all those things? You should my vote count as much
as someone who has no idea what they're doing and
is randomly you know, as I say, it's the same
thing like, well, should everybody be on on on primetime? No?
Not everybody needs a primetime game? No, not everything. They
don't want to do it. I don't want to see it. No,
(03:47):
you don't need to have that. We don't need that.
It's like when pitchers were hitting, a lot of them
didn't want to do it. Don't you need to see
them way at the three balls or just standing there
with the bat on their shoulder. The worst is when
they would have him in the All Star Game. Why
is the picture batting in the All Star Game? National
League Park. We've gotta be be beholden to the Arcadane rules.
What are you talking about? Come on, man, But what
(04:09):
we're gonna do tonight part of what we're gonna obviously,
there's big games to break down, which we'll get to.
The games coming up in a couple of minutes. But
you're probably one of the best things you can do today, right,
to be honest, this is positivity Thursday. It's all listen
because you know the Knicks are off. We need something
at the NBA is so important right now in this
round of the playoffs that they scheduled zero games for today,
(04:33):
the extra day off for the Tea, Wolves and the
Spurs so they can play a doubleheader on a Friday night. Now,
there is a really big takeaway from what you just said,
which we'll get There is a big takeaway from that.
But the most fun thing you can do today is
what Because every team now knows we can't mail it
(04:54):
in when we come to our schedule releases. We have
to do something. We have to go for it, right.
And that's why I love everything that the teams do,
even if some of them are terrible, because we're still
going out there. We're not just mailing it in. We're
not just hey, here are the games, here's the schedule.
It's what you want to know anyway, No, do something fun, right.
It's a fun day for the fans, right, and that's
(05:15):
a fun thing. So watching all the releases, we're gonna
give you the official grades the best and the worst
of the schedule releases. Okay, and what makes a good
schedule release, Well, you gotta make me laugh. It's gotta
be fun. It's gotta be entertaining. I like the hidden
messages or having to have a repeat viewing of it,
(05:37):
Like it's a really layered movie where oh I didn't
get that joke the first time, but but I got
it the second time. I got here, I got this.
So there's different things. But sometimes just what hits you right, like,
oh it hit you? I like that. Ah, you know
what that was just okay, ah you know yeah. No
A so I gotta say we'll do a couple right
now because it gave me my biggest laugh, because it
(05:58):
gave me my biggest laugh, and the whole thing was funny,
but it gave me my biggest laugh. Getting an A plus,
and I don't how many A pluses I'm gonna give out,
Okaynat the big of the A plus the Colts, because
the Colts went through the entire release with the Simpsons. No,
I was that was well done, rolling all of those
(06:19):
moments from so many years. Yeah, all these different scenes
from the Simpsons that they're putting in has to do
with whatever team they're playing that week. Homer does says something,
does something right, he gets off the jump. Oh sure.
But the best because when it gets to week eighteen
and it says week eighteen the Browns, and it's a
scene where Homer's in the stands at a sporting event
(06:39):
and everybody's quiet, and it just says week sixteen Browns
and it just sounds and then you Homer stands up
and you just hear boring. That was a nice punctuation mark.
Absolutely was the best one. I could watch that over
and over, obviously being the Simpsons. How are you gonna
how you're gonna go wrong with that? I don't know
(07:01):
that I'm giving out another right, We'll starting the show
with the bank. I don't know that I'm giving out
another A plus. But that moment where you just in
a game and you hear nothing. You see week sixteen
at Brown's and just boring. And then they go to
week seventeen, we just cut right off it and go
to it. No, there's something to be said for let's
let's go where we know we have the popularity, get
the rights and build it in. I find it funny
(07:22):
that all of them end up by saying, hey, head
to Ticketmaster, the official ticketing partner. Yeah, oh you're a
NFL that yes, I mean, you got to take care
of some business. It can't just be all sunshine, lollipops
and rainbows. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. The uh
Low Steelers present on was pretty good. That was good.
See because now now here's the thing is that this
is why this is so more ingro e. I'm gonna
(07:45):
give this Steelers an A minus. The entire presentation, I
believe is in Spanish. It's like the credits for a
Spanish western uh. And they're showing all the players who
are going to be playing this year, and everything is
in Spanish, and you see the tag as Low Steelers,
and and you and I are watching it, We're going,
is there an English or is this it? Like? No,
I think this is it. And it's the old cp
(08:07):
A tone from the seventies, and and you I don't
know what anybody is saying and how they're you know,
some of the words I get because I took Spanish
in high school. I was really good at it. But
so I I don't understand. Here's Jalen Warren. Here's DK Metcalf.
So I kind of dig that. I'm gonna give the
Steelers an am. I we started the big grades first,
big grates. First we started with positivity, A plus for
the Colts, a minus for the Steelers. Pretty good and
(08:28):
the Steelers. Then they had another video, uh in English
with Billy Gardell walking as a security guard, kind of
wandering around. So then so you got so the fact
that the Yespanolo was fan. So that's kind of the
grindhouse of schedule releases because we got two movies for
the price of we got double up. We got Death
(08:48):
Proof and Planet Terror. Okay, a nice yeah, so that's
a nice little win. Roma Don Jay as as Bob Ross. Yeah,
see solid. See here's the thing, and here's the thing.
I liked it, and it's not and it's and I
feel I feel bad. But it's gonna be a rough
night for you because you have the toughest schedule in
the end. No, it's not good. But I traveled the
fewest miles again, so that's good. In the last couple
(09:09):
of years, more penalties have been called on opponents than
any other team uh in the NFL, So that that's good.
I'm gonna give the Bears a c because I love
the premise Roma Dune, says Bob Ross. He's got the
all the hair and he's doing the happy little clouds.
It's pretty cool. But after the first like thirty seconds,
right we're drawing up. You know, we're drawing this cloud
(09:30):
is white right here. You know, we nobody says we're
gonna have here. Here's some cats down here, and okay,
a week for if we screw up a third, we
could we could take it into a jet. But they're
going out out of order for the game.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I know.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It was all over, so that's why I'm like, okay,
And after the first thirty seconds, I'm like, okay, I
need something more than this. I'm a little bored right now.
I mean, it looked good. They put a lot of
work into it to put it, but I was a
little Boards'm gonna I'm gonna give the bear I'm I'm sorry,
but yeah, it was just something a little different because
you don't really see a lot of Romadunze as the
(10:05):
marketing center for a little bit, you know, and against
the grain there and I will tell you this, we
are ahead of the curve of this take right? How long? Right?
How long until hey? Radio team and I have people
in mind? How long until it's going to be? Hey?
How do you not have Caleb Williams? He's your guy?
(10:26):
How do you not have him as Bob Ross doing that?
Caleb Williams? Do they still like him? Do his teammates
like him? Is he still as good as we think
he is? How do you not have Caleb get designs
on his fingernails of the schedule release? If he's the painter,
he's already got his fingernails painting. Why was he not there?
Did he not show up eight seven seven ninety? Did
he say he didn't want to do it? There's problems
(10:47):
in Chicago because you had you had problems, man, you
got problems now. Either that or he's working too hard
in the lab to get that much better. I think
I think the DJ Moore interception killed him, and now
who knows, probably have to trade him before the season starts,
and terribly about one that I wish they had gone
against the grain as we watched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
with the whole Bay Watch thing. Yeah, but it was
(11:10):
just a weak excuse, like Preser had actually kept his
shirt on. I would have been more impressed if he
was in a three PI suit. Will everybody else was
running around the beaches doing what they're doing. Tampa Bay
does a Tampa Bay Bay Watch, and it's Baker Mayfield
in the very beginning. He's the the Charlie's Angels. Charlie. Yeah,
I'm giving you the assignment while I'm holding a baby. Uh,
(11:31):
and it's some of it's fun. A couple of the
linemen and they're getting ash and it looked good. The
same camera work for I'm gonna give that a B minus. Well,
I raise it up to a bee just because you
used the theme song, which meant we were able to
play it at full volume. That's true. Yeah, but that's you.
You're in after after the kid from the Falcons is
(11:53):
flying the kite and and he walks over and cuts
the That was that was the peak. That was the
highlight for us. Yeah. You know what, honestly, I could
have used more slow motion. That's a fair like not
not to you know, to run around nobody slow motion. Yeah,
but I mean for the esthetic, I think you needed
that a little bit. I think you needed some slow
(12:13):
motion there. So in order so far Colt SAT plus
Steelers ain't minus bears get to see B minus for
the bucks if you want to be nice, if you're
one of those greater and this is why, see your
this goes against your grain because you don't want to.
If you were a teacher, you wouldn't curve grades at all.
If the kid came to you would say, no, you
(12:35):
got a seventy nine. That's a seventy nine. No, I'm sorry.
The highest kid that the kid in the kid in
the class of the highest grade was in eighty four.
Eighty four is his grade to Okay, not rounding that
up to one hundred and yet, No, you just give
it a be because no, no, you gave it a
B minus. Yeah, I give it a B because the
song made me smile. God, But is it that simple
(12:57):
with the song for you? Is it that simple? Well,
I mean, look, there's there's only one A plus plus plus.
We know what team that is. Yeah, okay, win every year?
Yeah okay, but I mean but what you mentioned the
Titans again. They did the Man on the Street. Yeah, yeah,
that was Oh that that's the uh, that's the the
the the new New Brunswick, New Brunswick New Bruns. That's all.
(13:19):
That's the Argonauts. That's the Argonauts. But they but they
used the fox by going hey, is that are you?
And then it was let's match up. You know a
guy who was bald and walking around, Are you big domb? Hey?
Are you big domb? Exit out bout of Fresca, Exit

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Fox Sports Radio remix Jason Smith's Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. You know Tay Shirt. I actually almost
called you on the way home last night and Frostburg
you too. Oh god, I'm trying picked up. No, no, no.
I'm driving home and I'm listening to Maximum Metallica station
and they're playing Yes, I know, I just found it
(16:10):
a month ago. Okay, now it's been around almost a year.
I just found it.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And they were playing a version of Fade to Black
that was this like bluegrass country version, and I'm like,
oh my god, this is either the greatest thing I've
ever heard or the worst thing and I never want
to hear it again. But I'm just listening the whole thing. Yeah,
well not no, not till I get home, man, don't
don't drive and then do it now. Brownie's at Home
(16:34):
was the one by Iron Horse. I think it's almost like, hey,
Mumford and Sons, we're gonna let you do a Metallica song. Okay,
We're do fade to Black. Oh okay, and they keep
yelling not your fun. But my listening, I got a cut.
Is this real? Like It's one of those times where
you have like a moment where you go, am I
(16:54):
still on Earth? Am I did I get into the multiverse?
Is this is this a real thing? Is this is
his song? Really? It was postmodern juke boxing with you.
Am I gonna look up and see, like you know,
there's gonna be UFOs in the sky flying around And
I'm like, okay, I'm in you know, I'm on Coruscant now,
Like what we did that two weeks ago? Remember it happened.
They admitted it existed, and nobody cared. At this point,
(17:19):
I really think the government could come out and say,
here's evidence that UFOs exist. Here's an alien, and we're
gonna interview them and talk to him. People would go, yeah, okay,
I mean really that's where I can't believe that's where
we're at with aliens, but that's where that's where well.
But just in general, all of a sudden, they pulled
back government. You know, the fake wall, you know, and
it's just a Hollywood studio is remember all the stuff
(17:42):
that were conspiracy theories. Politicians, there's all the binders. Politicians
just want to keep trying to make UFOs happen, Like hey,
we get that every day is bad news and there's
things happening, and so hey, so here's aliens because everybody
loves stories about aliens. No, no, no, no, they keep
trying to make aliens happen. I feel like you're trying
to sell a product that I think. Maybe we're past aliens.
(18:03):
I showed you they were celebrating a good look by
Grogu on the red carpete for the Mandalorian and grow.
Maybe because we get we get aliens everywhere, whether they're invade.
We've seen them invade Earth plenty of times. That's the
thing we've seen conditioned you know. I'll take it from
your call. Yeah, okay, well it's all aliens. But this
is a real one, not not like you know, made
(18:23):
on a on a stage at the end c Yeah, okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Instead of pinching your skin to see if it's real,
do you like eat a hamburger?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You know it's really I don't now something I'm in
the brought Hamberg. I'm Joey Pants from the Matrix. I
know the steak isn't real, but it's so good, all right?
Did you a liquid hamburger? Oh? I don't know. That's
that's blended. Blend that thing up after an oral So no,
why would I do that. I don't liquid burger. I
don't get the taste of having a burger. No, I
(18:51):
would have liked the flavors be there. No, no, no,
I want the feeling of eating the burger. Well, see
now you're talking textures. These are two very different things.
That's oh, touches a big deal. Every single every single
cooking show you ever see, person gets sent home. Why
are your texture? The texture? Oh? Texture and presentation? Oh okay,
Oh it's good. Yeah, I'm going home. Because of that,
I was reminded one of the great competitions that we
(19:14):
should be watching as part of our our evening perusal
of the sporting world at large, is is it Cake?
It feels like we used to see that in with
regularity here and suddenly it's gone. And I was reminded
of that show today and I'm like, I need to
go catch up on a few seasons of that and
see if I can't fake you out by having you
(19:34):
eat a handbag instead of a cake. So, with today
being NFL schedule release day, right, a big deal? Every
like we're gonna continue to grade the best of the
and the worst of the NFL schedule leases, right, nobody
does that. We just gave out four big grades out
of the top and our first A plus went out
a few minutes ago. Boring, but uh, for the games themselves, right,
(19:56):
Certainly we now see games taking front and center staate
and some we knew. We knew that, We knew that
the Thanksgiving Day games were here, we knew what we
were gonna get first game of the regular season with
the with the forty nine ers in the rams. But
there's some games that are absolutely huge for a couple
of different reasons. And the first one I'm gonna give
you Week one, we found out today and of course
(20:17):
the NFL having a sense of humor. Uh, And this
is a big game because these are two teams that
are gonna be fighting hand over fist for that number
one overall pick and the Tankathon for next year Tankathon
Jets and the Titans. They're sending the Jets to play
Robert Solo, their former head coach, who signed a bunch
of their old players. The NFL's got a sense to him.
(20:38):
Of course, let's said the Jets play the Titans. These
are gonna be two of the bottom And the only
way you can make this any better is if the
Dolphins were involved. We'll get them later on. These are
gonna be two of the worst teams in the NFL
to be looking for and I know the Titans are
gonna say, man, we're looking for another guy next year
because lukam Ward was just not good. Man. He just
wasn't say I have hope for him. If you don't
(21:00):
know why Robert Salis is head coach, that's how I
know Robert Sallis's head coach will be for long and
it won't be cam Ward's fault. I've not seen it. No,
no quarterback has played well with Robert sala as his
head coach, so I know cam Warden is not going
to be good. See. The real sense of humor would
have been to just schedule this for week eighteen. No,
you gotta have it. You gotta make it week one,
(21:21):
where at least, hey, there's football and it's new for everybody.
We got football week eighteen. Well the first week is
it's it's it's it's not later on. But this is
gonna be a big game that's gonna go really because
these are two teams that are gonna be terrible. They're
gonna be in the bottom three of the league, and
you're gonna come down to the end when arch Manning
is picking up his Heisman Trophy and you're gonna say, man,
(21:41):
we gotta have that number one pick. But ah, we
beat the Jets week one. We got that advantage over
the Jets, and we're not gonna pick that early or
vice versa. This is a huge Tankathon game, maybe the
biggest Tankathon game of the season. All right, Week one
that is the lowest over under currently said at thirty
eight and a half points with the Titans at two
(22:02):
and a half point favorite. I'm telling you, man, this
is this is good a field goal kicker. You're gonna
go back and say, wow, you see, you see why
the Jets have the number one pick. It was that
Week one nineteen sixteen win that the Titans had that's
keeping them from getting arch Manning number one, which means
so they're giving us game two seventy two right off
the jump, which means then they'll take Dante More at
(22:23):
number two and he'll be in All Pro for ten
years and arch Manning will be in the CFL in five.
So I mean that's how it's gonna go for the Jets.
Whatever the Jets do is gonna be wrong. Is Blue
Bomber is the rough Rider? Uh so, that's a big one.
That's a big one right off the bat. That's a
big one. No, that's a that's a good start. That
is how you start things with the bang. Because you know,
(22:46):
my theory on all of that is that you don't
need to everybody's been so thirsty for football, we don't
need any exotic matchups off the jump. Now, we also
know we are getting the Patriots and the Seahawks week one.
Now to dive into this because this is more than
just a Super Bowl rematch, right, first time since twenty
(23:06):
twelve where we've had a Super Bowl rematch being the
first game of the next year. Uh yes, should in
in in all likelihood, the Patriots have a bit of
a rollback this year? Yeah? Should they? Should they come
back to earth little bit? Yeah, the schedule last year
was really easy. This is the Super Bowl champs opening
up at home. Uh yeah, it just should be a
(23:28):
Seattle Seahawks win. But this is where the Patriots are
gonna continue or the first time they're gonna realize. Man,
the Vrabel stuff is just gonna hang over our team forever,
because right now, what have we got in the last week.
There's been no video drops of any new videos with
Rabel and Diana Rossini. I was told there were more
(23:50):
photos in one mind. I'm sure we're waiting. We're wait,
they'll be there charger Chargers release time. But we haven't
had anything in a week, which means we're probably a
week away from from some more videos. But there is
been no talk from the Patriots about the status of
Mike Rabel. They are just hoping that this thing goes away.
(24:11):
It's clear that that is their strategy. And as long
as nothing that implicates Rabel in a sense where the
Patriots or the Titans got any sort of favorable coverage
that resulted in a difference on the field, like the
Julio Jones story from a week and a half ago,
where hey, maybe Diana Rossini put out some messages that
scared some teams off about going out and bidding on
(24:34):
Julio Jones, So Julio Jones became a Titan like. If
more stuff like that comes out, then the Patriots are
gonna be forced acted. As much as they don't want
to as much as they don't care about the controversy.
Their coaches live in and and and their owner lives
in and their quarterbacks live and they don't care. I
get it. But as long as they're gonna have to
deal with if something like that comes up, because that's
where the NFL will get involved. WHOA, whoa. What was
(24:55):
a competitive advantage on the field? You know what would
have would have really helped in that case to kind
of push the needle if Julio Jones had been what
was that word good?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Good?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
He was hurt and he couldn't stay on the field,
So any advantage that was perceived years later, you go, well,
that really didn't move the needle at all. So that
really doesn't matter. So for the NFL, who very quickly
washed their hands of all of it, pending other information.
Of course, uh, the Julio Jones being the thing everybody
(25:29):
wanted to bang the drum about, it didn't hold a
lot of water because he was a non factor. So
that's the only way it doesn't come out. So let's
just say, for argument's sake, that doesn't come up, right.
So now let's let's take a look for the Patriots
going through Hey, they were in the off season. Now
we finished the mini camp. Vrabel's not been around. It's
(25:49):
a dead time we come back, there's gonna be other
stories and and this is hopefully gonna recede, and they're
gonna see that over the course of the summer while
they can control the narrative where it's training camp, and
they can control who asks what and what they what
kind of access they give to people for practices. Okay,
we're trying to keep as much of a lid on
it as possible. Now it still is not gonna happen,
(26:10):
but they're gonna try to say, what, let's just get
through the summer, right, We're holding it back as much
as we can. But if we just get through the summer,
then we're gonna wind up being okay. But they're gonna
get to game one week one and then suddenly on
social media, it's gonna be everywhere. The questions are gonna
be asked everywhere about Mike Rabel. It's it's gonna become
(26:31):
part of the Patriots' identity. Is Mike Rabel Diana Rossini
and the affair allegedly and how it's been mishandled from
the beginning, and that's when the Patriots are gonna realize
we're never gonna get past this. That's and they're gonna
know this Rabel thing is just going to hang over
us and hang over him the rest of the time.
He is our coach. The memes are gonna come out
(26:53):
every Sunday. It doesn't matter if we lose a game
to the Jets, it's gonna be Mike Rabel holding hands
with Gino Smith on the roof. It's gonna be if
we lose a game to the Dolphins, it's gonna be
Malik Willis next to him at the pool the video.
They're never gonna get past it. And this is when
if things don't get really crazy for Rabel job wise
over the summer, because that's when that's what that's when
(27:14):
Rabel can lose his job. As if it comes out
that hey, Diana Rassini and her coverage gave him a
competitive advantage, that's a thing for Rabel's job. When the
Patriots realize this week one, with all the attention on
this game and it's Verbel front and center, and who
knows what's gonna happen, They're gonna say, Okay, if this
season goes bad, we're moving on from Vrabel. They're gonna
they're gonna they went to the super Bowl, So really,
(27:37):
we can't just fire the guy if we don't really
have a reason to where the NFL doesn't make us,
but it's gonna make this year a winner go home
year for Vrabel, where if the Patriots struggle and they
go six and eleven, it's gonna be Okay, Well we
got to the super Bowl, but we regressed and we
have problems, and now the Verrabel thing isn't gonna go away,
and now we need a new head coach. That's how
(27:58):
the next few months are gonna go for the Patriots
and playing this game that's gonna be the marquee game
of the week opening week, this is gonna put more
of a spotlight and the Patriots gonna realize we just
no matter how much we can't keep this away, we
can't unring this bell, and we're gonna have to deal
with it. And he again, he's gonna be coaching for
his job, either hoping the other shoot doesn't drop with
(28:19):
something as far as his coverage from Dana Rassini or
not winning enough games this fall going to the Super
Bowl three and a half months ago, and now he's
coaching for his job. Yeah, I mean some of it
comes back to I think we get a big spider
Man meme of coaches, insiders and everybody else in terms
of what constitutes getting favorable coverage. Right, there's a very
(28:42):
big spider web if we want to go down that
path for a very boy. I mean, it's just the
basic math of you're now playing an advanced schedule, whereas
last year you weren't right, you were playing it your
easy schedule or as easy as it's gonna be based
on the you're finished the year before, the number of
(29:02):
times they faced teams where guys and key contributors on
either side of the ball, we're not being able to play.
So taking full advent in the fact that the Jets
and the Dolphins are in the division, I mean, come on,
it's it's right there. There's four games on your schedule
right away. But they do buy all metrics have what
the fifth to seventh hardest schedule I have seen. The
(29:24):
rankings depends on if you just go based on pass
record or you're starting to extrapolate, uh into the way
things will play out based on how things are constituted now,
but you know, once we get to week one, I
just ask you this, if nobody had the stones to
ask jj Reddick about rujy hachimurras Is and then then
sipping a beverage when he needed a three point shot,
(29:47):
which of these guys are gonna stand and go hey, Mike?
Oh no, no, no, Mike, let's go, let's go back.
Everybody is weighing in on this is so I can't
weighing in. But once they're actually in front of him, Mike,
do you feel that you weren't prepared enough because of
all the stuff that went on this summer? Do you
feel that maybe if you didn't spend enough time holding
hands with Dana Rossini on a rooftop or at dinner
(30:08):
with her in twenty twenty when she was pregnant, that
maybe you would wait, wait, why why am I being
taken out? Why have I been taking it out? It
might have been taken off this effect because it was
a dry heat in Sedona, Arizona. He's gonna be frustrated.
I'm telling you it's gonna be in awe, It's gonna be.
But he always looks frustrated anyway, I know, but that's
his natural state. The Pats are gonna think we could
(30:29):
just whistle through the graveyard on this and I'm sorry
you can't. And then that's when it's gonna come come home.
We can try to control it all summer and all right,
we're gonna sweat and we're okay. Now the games are here, good,
good games are here. We're all good. No no, no
games is when this is just gonna get started. Games
when it's just because I guarantee you. However, this has
been getting out now where we've had this reveal won
(30:49):
every couple of weeks or so. You don't think people
whoever's got this is holding stuff until the first week
of the regular season, where here's another video bam, right
before the first game, Bam, here's another video. Start ramping
up and handing it out like you're the Riddler in
the Batman by Matt Reeves. But yeah, we we go
week to week and and the way you laid it
out was also, if we make it through the summer.
(31:11):
Immediately I started rewriting the Merle Haggard classic if we
make it through December exit out about a Fresca exit
swallowing down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harbon. Time to find out what's trending right now
in the wide world of sports. From someone who's just
spent the last half hour on repeat watching the Saints reveal,
it's pre eureau. I actually was.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Watching the Falcons reveal because I thought it was the Office,
but it's actually like a this is Sports Center one.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
We'll get to the Falcons. We got the Falcons, yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Okay, okay, and the Rams one I think was the
best one. Just want to throw that out there. You
guys didn't talk about that, so just like we.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Got four hours previous, No, it's a four hour show,
four hours we got, we got a long Way Togo.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I hate the Rams.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I just wanted to throw it out there.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
That's like, that's gonna be my only like you know
which we'll call it contribution to that Like schedule.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Release, Well, it's thirty one teams.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
The Jets have already been elimited.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
There you go, okay, and their news are revolving this
schedule release. You guys talked about the Patriots and Seahawks.
That is the season opener, and for the first time ever,
there will be a Thanksgiving Eve game between the Packers
and the Rams in LA and then for Thanksgiving out
the Bears at the Lions, Eagles at the Cowboys, and
the Chiefs at the Bills. And then for Christmas, it's
(32:25):
the first tripleheader ever that's happened on Christmas. And they're
all playoff teams, So the Packers at the Bills, the
playoff rematch between the Bills at the Broncos, and then
the NFC Championship remax between Remix or Remix rematch between
the Rams and the Seahawks. The Rams lead the way
with seven primetime games in twenty twenty six. Packers, Chiefs, Bills,
and Seahawks have six primetime games, and the Jets, Titans, Raiders,
(32:49):
Cardinals and Dolphins they have zero primetime games. And rightfully,
so rightfully, so I'll say that to Fernando Mendoza, that's
so sad okay. In the NHL Playoffs, the Canadians have
a taking it three two series lead after defeating the
Sabers is six to three. Right now, the Golden Knights
are outscoring the Ducks three to zero just ending that
first period in Anaheim. They are trying to close out
(33:10):
the Ducks in baseball, Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB leading
eighteenth home run of the season as Affillies defeat the
Red Sox at three to one. The Cubs avoid the
sweep and shut out the Braves two to zero, and
the White Sox they beat the Royals six to two,
and they have swept them and they're on a five
game win streak.

(34:39):
and I love putting this content out for you every
single night. Well, we got more from the NFL schedule
release day coming up in a couple of minutes. But
first it's time for the Play of the day and
it's I don't think it's going to be an NBA
play because there is no games tonight that would be
something spectacular. It means someone hit the playground. The Play
(35:00):
of the Day brought to you by ti i Rack.

it is just a very special play of the day.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Man Russell Wilson is picked off for the seventh time
in a row. Today, Jets get absolutely jackhammered here in
Tennessee and have officially been a laymenlated from playoff contention.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Wow, final score fifty six to nothing. So he's gonna
start a Jets radio. He's starting week one. How about that?
It's radio Jason. He's gonna beat out Geno Smith and
start we got them? Yeah, oh sorry, Bob was shooesing
Jets radio right there, there we go. Yeah, Bob was
shoes to watch this fruition voice of the Jets. Right
if he can speak that in new existence, I mean,
(36:00):
that's some next level stuff. I don't science now. Now,
now here's the thing, right, So the Jets schedule release
like every and I gotta say this for every for
every team, they all went for it. Again, these grades
that we're giving out is just about, you know, how
entertaining it. But everybody went for production value for every
team is terrific, right, every It's not like anybody mailed
(36:21):
it in and just said oh okay, you know like
the Bills did last year when when Josh Allen said,
oh use ai and they just had Alan iverson, right. Yeah.
But uh the Jets release, which is like, uh like
they're there. They are combining paints on a palette and
it's all crazy colors for the different teams and insulting
(36:45):
the different teams, right, And I thought, okay, that's interesting.
But you know, and I thought, okay, and it's it's
just like there's not a lot of vocalization to it.
It's just mixing the colors. And you see the you know,
the colors that take shots at the other teams because
that's all they do. And so I said, that's kind
of fun. The Dolphins one was fun, yeah, because you
have of this because here's all the different colors. It's
(37:07):
del Boca Vista and Finkle and they mix it all
together and they and then they do the smear. Yeah.
Uh yeah, be minus be minus be minus that. That's
a big generous Yeah. There's not a lot to it. Yeah,
once you once, you do it once. Yeah, all right,
I see what the bid is Yeah, but there's I
have to really pay attention. Yeah. But the thing, the
(37:27):
thing I'm gonna say is that there's so many other
things that are gonna be bad for the Jets this
year that I feel like give them a B minus
on this one. Okay, Yeah, you know I could give
them a C plus. You know it's gonna get worse
that this is the best effort you're gonna get from
him this year. You're gonna get, uh the Raiders schedule release,
Raiders schedule release. Uh. Now here's the thing. This is
(37:51):
where justin Frossberg, you have to give a legitimate opinion
here because I like you give the grade right one
of your favorite movies as step Brothers. It's The Step
Brothers Fernano Mendoza meeting Kirk Cousins where they had some
stuff much like the movie and they're acting like each
other in the movie, and then there's a schedule reveal.
Sounds like they got your click suckers. I just want
(38:14):
to know, I mean, how many takes they did to
get to those best takes to include in the video
because Fernando is no But here's the thing, Banana Mendoza
is stiff. Kirk Cousins is fantastic. Oh yeah, no, he
plays it up. But that's exactly how I think he
is in real life, like they're playing this out like okay,
that's exactly what Kirk Cousins is like, like he's playing Yeah,
(38:36):
so I I would give what I would give now,
But Frostburg gets the official grade, being the official producer
of the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
What what?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
What do they get it? What's Fernande Lorian was a
pretty good line, though it's a it's an eight to
f grade. What are you giving him? You think I
clicked on that garbage because I'm gonna get Okay, if
you didn't watch it, I'll give it. I will give
the Raiders a beat plus B plus because I enjoyed
Kirk Cousins that much. I want to take your class.
I enjoyed Kirk Cousins that much. How good Kirk Cousins
(39:09):
was takes away from how wooden and stale. Fernando Mendoza
was with me, come on, come on, let's have a
little fun with it. Let's a little bit, let's do
some fun. Okay, Yeah, maybe maybe my brand of quirkiness
is a lot better than your brand of quirkiness Fernando. Okay,
he's got fifteen years to grow into it. If you
(39:31):
are picking the Raiders quarterback for Week one just based
on the schedule release, well then it's obviously going to
be Kirk Cousins because yeah, yeah, I mean I think
they just say, hey, just be yourself. Okay, that's what
I'll do. Touch my drum set. Yeah, but I did
like when he said, you gotta call me the Fernando
Lorian appropriate today because that's war that goes into the
(39:56):
high grade. Because obviously with all the stuff going on
the premiere of mandol o In and Grogu and Okay,
they knew the day it was coming that smart her
Cousins was wearing a Yoda shirt. Yeah, that smart stuff
right there. But this may be the highest grade the
Raiders get all year. One hundred and twenty dollars bobblehead
pre sale for to night as the Dodgers continued their
street giving something away if you go to the ballpark now,
(40:18):
I feel like I'm giving I'm giving higher grades to
the teams that I know that are stink, that are
gonna stink, and this might be the best we get
from them all year. The virtual hug for their for
their staff knowing that their team is going to stak
Like if it was an if I was a non
Jets fan, they'd probably get to see if you know,
Frostburg would get the Raiders an F for an F
minus if he could. But I feel like these teams
(40:40):
that are not good this maybe it, maybe I'm curving
it a little bit for them. But I just enjoyed
Kirk Cousins that much. He was good. I really did.
It's it's like, watch more of him in his Little
Harry Potter Idaway. It's like when you watch it when
you see a movie and you say, how is the movie? Well,
the movie was okay, but wow, the star was fantastic.
But that's me with one battle after another. I liked
all the individual performances, care for the movie, performance performance performances,
(41:04):
but like this, oh but it sounded like j Jonah
Jamison as I said that to Spider Man. But like
when when whoever is when you say, oh wow, that
person's gonna get nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress because
they they rose above the movie which was just an
okay movie. So how do we get Captain Kirk into
a movie?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, and did he build the Harry Potter Nook? He
is in Nevada, He's We got more on Kirk Cousin
for mendos Uh. We continue to celebrate NFL Schedule Release
Day and tell you why the NBA is really missing
out tonight. That's next, Tason to Mike

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
