National Football League. We have fun in Major League Baseball.
Today was a very fun day filled with news funny.
You gotta have a lot of good news along the way.
I mean, not that it's all good news, but it's
all all at least fodder for us to yell at
each other about, because I'm told that's the directive. No, no no, no,
(01:05):
But just there can still be good news. But there
wasn't really wasn't. I got a lot of good news.
They've got a lot of the biggest stories, are they
Are they good? No? No, I got good news personally

(01:47):
Salt Rosenberg, you said, thy Street. I mean, we have
good news today, A lot of good news today. Major
League Baseball. We continue to mock them, I think with
more of the things that have now passed, pictures and
catchers reported to that's fantast the best news of the day.
(02:07):
I'll start with this because it was really fun. As
you know, my dad is the marshal on the kind
of a big deal. It's his super Bowl week. He's
been he's the marshal there for now the last six years,
I want to say seven years. Somehow he's all the
chicanery and problems that he's caused, he's not been caught
(02:28):
just yet. Yeah, he's a marshal on sixteen. Well here
see here's Hires definitely onto him now, he mean that's
the name is tournament. I mean it's his place now.
Today was the program So of course my dad is
the first because Tuesday is all prep day. And my
dad does different things and uh sometimes he does you know,
he does many different that many different things where sometimes
he picks golfers up from the airport, you know, different things.
(02:51):
You have to play a lot of grab bass on
the Wednesday. Wednesday is the program day. And I said, oh,
how's the day going so far? And booth he sends
me a picture, got a picture of tiger Woods three
ft away. Tiger Wood was looking at the camera smiling
for him. I go, are you allowed to do that?
He goes, yeah, yah know it's it's prom day. Everybody's
taking pictures every much for the selfie. I said, no,
that's what I say, said why did you much bigger?
(03:11):
You gotta frame that and displaced any picture he has
with you upon that. Yeah, I would know, Well I
don't know that it is not on prom day a selfie. Yeah,
with Tiger especially that things are sure, especially because he
could sell it as hey, we're both two people born
on December because they both share the same birthday. My dad,
(03:33):
as I've told you, is the big under achiever because
people born on December thirtieth include Tiger Woods, Sandy Culfax
and Lebron James and then my dad. So that's he
can't even get on the metal stands tough. I'll tell
you how your dad pulls it off. Though, how does
he pull it off? He shows up with a blond wig. Oh,
then that's the last day being the marshal in the
(03:55):
sixteenth Hold. He'll get the selfie though, So he said,
I got another one book on his Well he got
that self. He was, I got another one for you,
and I said, okay, he said it to me. And
it's a picture because Tiger played with Condoleeza Rice. There
you go. I mean kind of Stanford thing going Condo
Liza not you know, it was was kind of looking
at someone else and waving, I mean tigers waving at
my dad like, hey, you doing all right? I gotta picture?
(04:17):
Like Tiger's very you know, boom photoge Obviously he knows. Hey,
cameras here, my turn it. We're having fun. He's there, Conda, Liza,
Rice is looking at someplace else. I'm like, you gotta
tell me how you got Did you just walk up
to Tiger and say, hey, Tiger picture. I'm you know,
my son's on the radio. I just want to, you know,
take a picture. I don't know how you got it,
but but he got it. Asked forgiveness instead of permission.
(04:39):
At worst, what was gonna happen some some thug was
gonna come up and say, delete that picture, deleted deleted. Well, look,
he's by himself on a golf course. I don't think
Tiger was upset about that, but really the picture. Don't
think there's someone's trailing Tiger Woods to make sure some
knucklehead doesn't get out of line. Yeah, but but he's
on the golf course, so it's okay. It's not like
(05:00):
he's right into him at Perkins Caking Steak. I'm still
contending that there's at least someone walking the tiger path
on the course, making sure no knucklehead gets too. But
I'll show you the picture. It looks like a poster
like Tiger. This is when he probably look look at
the picture right there, like he's looking right at my
dad's smiling. You know, your dad's taking a picture of
(05:21):
the caddy. Well, the caddy. Everybody's happy though. It's a
lot of good. It's a big s that's a big smile.
That's the joker smile. That's now stop with that. That's
a big smile. Stuff. I'm gonna get you later. Smile. Oh.
I would definitely take Tiger over my dad in a fight,
just like you got three guys in a row. So
she got Tiger, you got the caddy, and then you
(05:43):
got some dude behind looking at and looking at the
world like what why is he taking a picture? Is
taking picture in three levels. People get happier as they
get closer to the camera. Evidently as they get closer
to your dad radius of happiness happening here. I have
to I have to I gotta get him, well, we
gotta get my dad on the show. And I also
got to ask him if um I can put this
(06:04):
picture up on social media, because I wanted to continue
to be the martialness. You give him credit Riviera, Oh
photo credit, Walt Smith. Yeah sure, yeah, of course credit. Yeah,
well right there. But it's a great I mean really,
it's photo credit, asked Walter, this is one of those
like you expect this to be framed in Tiger's house.
That's a great picture. It is pretty good picture. I mean.
And then my dad, I mean, dad, you gotta use
(06:24):
portrait mode. You gotta do different things. But had some
pretty you could You could play with the lightning, you
could do some effects. You can have the world burning
behind him like he was the Joker coming out of
that behind him right, like he was Heath Ledger coming
out of that hospital. Come one, come on, come on,
come get me, come on, come on. Or you just
photo shopp him in the suv. You could do that, yeah,
(06:45):
with with a golf club in his hand, break breaking
a window, running over a fire hide. Why do we
got to do that? You were talking about being all
happy and and good news, and now you're just trying
to take us into a deep, dark, sordid place. This
was good news. You're the one that said, no, there
is no good news. I said, no, we have news.
We started with a lot of the big the big
stories weren't the happiest, but then you got to But
(07:06):
then you got to your your dad's photo of Tiger
like he just won the lottery. Thought you were going
to complain anymore? I didn't. I mean, yeah you were.
We had good news. You know, I want to change them.
I want to talk about bad things. Let's just talk
about bad stuff. He made him the joker. I just
extended the joke. But the problem what what? Why? Does
doesn't need to be Joaquin Phoenix's joker? I wasn't. It
could be Seasoned Arrows joke. Well, I always enjoyed the
(07:29):
fact that the man refused to shave his must could
be very campy. It could be Jack Nicholson's joker. It
could be Steve Miller's joker. Some people call him the
Space Cowboy, the Gangster of Love. Some people call him
Maurice Maurice. I mean, it's could be that the Maurice.
But then you think about more Reice. Then you think
about Maurice going after or Morris going after Robert de
(07:50):
Niro and good Fellas, and we all know how that ended. Twitter,
And how about a Fresco Mike get Swollen on The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen live from the Geico Studio.
So with all of this good news, let's start here
with Antonio Brown because well, today being Tuesday and an
opposite day in the week, Antonio Brown decided today was
gonna be a day I'm gonna apologize to people on Twitter,
(08:11):
because you know, Antonio Brown apologizes, then he gets mad
at them all over again. Then he apologizes, then he
gets mad all over again, then he apologizing. He his
mad all over here. He decided to go on social
media and put a post on Instagram directed at Ben Roethlisberger. Now,
this is Ben Roethlisberger, who he was extremely upset about
when Roethlisberger called him out on his weekly radio show
(08:32):
following a loss to Denver for running a bad route
and uh, Brown said, Roethlisberger has got an owner mentality,
and uh they conflict there is between them. He also
told Roethlisberger to shut up already after Roethlisberger said in
an interview that he regretted calling Brown out for the
poor route running in that game. So, the last couple
of times that A B has talked about Ben Roethlisberger
(08:53):
has told him to shut up, say he's got an
owner mentality, all of these things. But now today, apparently
because he woke up deciding, I don't know, I am
back in the NFL. I really want to get back
in the National Football League, he decided to put out
an apology, put a picture of both of them up
from their playing days. Well, really, you know Roethlisberger is
still playing. He's not. Um, I never realized how good
(09:13):
I had it, got caught up in my emotion with
everyone coming after me. I really apologize for my actions. Sincerely, man,
It's never been another connection like what we've done in
the past decade. I appreciate you, sincerely, A B. Sorry,
I'm not sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. A B
(09:34):
is like the boyfriend who leaves and you're happy he's gone,
comes back, you date again, he leaves, he comes back,
he leaves, and finally you make that push right. I'm
not We're not gonna date anymore. But now I really
want to come back. I mean every day it could
have been. He could have woke up today and been
pissed at Ben Roethlisberger, but he decided today I want
(09:54):
to say something good about Roethlisberger and say how sorry
I was. And I was never had it better than
I did with you. And you know our relationship is
always so special to me. And those other women didn't
mean anything, and you know, I just just love you
so much. I mean, this is what we got from
Antonio Brown. So I'm gonna help Antonio Brown. See I
like Ben Roethlisberger's response, Sorry, I'm not sorry. I'm sorry.
(10:18):
I'm not sorry. Do your best trying to help Antonio Brown.
Here's how you help Antonio Brown. As you know, I say,
one of my big things I would do outside of
being a radio host is that would be a pr
advisor to the stars. Right. I would help people put
out the message they want that doesn't hurt their career
and helps them as much as possible. Antonio Brown is
a very simple case. You think it's complex with everything
(10:40):
he's got going on, in these crazy charges hanging over
him for all these things, and you would think, oh, well,
how do you help Antonio Brown? Oh? I could help
him in one second. I would say, do you want
to play in the NFL? Yes, here's you need to do.
You need to take care of all your stuff, all
this legal stuff right, take care of it. Don't tweet
(11:03):
or go on Instagram until after the draft, stay away
from social media for five minutes. Because all of his
problems that he had that we all knew about, did
the public things, being upset with the Raiders, not showing up,
the whole foot problem, all of these things, he was
still playing. The Raiders still wanted him despite all that,
(11:24):
the Patriots still wanted him. When did Antonio Brown get
himself in the most amount of trouble when he decides
I can't say off of Twitter, I can't say off
of social media. I can't have people have text published
where I want to say, let's go get this woman
who's wants to bring charges against me. If he would
just stay away from social media, you would be stunned
how easily it would be to say, Antonio Brown, you're
(11:46):
back in the National Football League because all this other
stuff going on. He's got to take care of the
legal stuff. But social media is such a big deal
for him, and it's something that no one You don't
have to do it, but people like to do it,
so okay, but you gotta know how to do it.
He is the worst at social media. If I was
a teacher of social media. He would get an F
minus because look at what you've done. Because of social media.
(12:09):
You have found your way out of the National Football League.
You went from fifty million dollars guaranteed to zero because
you can't stay away from social media. You can't stay
away from criticizing former teammates. You can't stay away from
criticizing current front offices. You can't stay away from criticizing
people who have a legal case pending against you. You
can't stay away from it. Put down the phone, don't tweet.
(12:31):
I know it's hard because you liked. Everybody likes to
I like being talked about, I like the clicks. I
like being part of the conversation. I get it. But
you're never gonna play in the NFL again. Don't tweet
until after the draft. And then when all that smoke
clears and the dust settles, you take care of your
legal problems. Suddenly it's okay, we're Antonio Brown. Let's go
get him. And you're not gonna get a big pay day,
(12:52):
but at least you're back in the league. You have
a big hear you had a big paid in the
next year, and you're back and you continue on your career,
have another two or three more years in your prime,
until you're thirty four is years old. You do that,
you're back in the league. But he can't do it.
He can't stay off of social media. So tomorrow will
be something where he's ripping Belichick for not believing in
him and ripping Bob Kraft again. But then he loves
Tom Brady. Then he's gonna hate Tom Brady. I mean,
(13:14):
this is just how it goes with Antonio Brown. Now
that's just it. I like your theory, but there's no
practical application here. It doesn't work. He was doing all
the media rounds, including some interviews, saying, hey, I talked
to John Gruden today and talking about going back to
now the Las Vegas Raiders, and hey, maybe I can
reunite with Tom and we can be there and and
(13:35):
all of this. It just keeps spiraling, right, And the
apology to Ben Roethlisberger, No, you can't take back what
you said about him and all the other things you
went after in throwing all all that out on social
media and throwing shade and just say, oh man, you know,
it was great, we had good times. It's it's you know,
I'm sorry it doesn't work out. No, it's it's gone.
(13:58):
And I don't know that there's a gm where things
stand now that that could reasonably say, you know what,
he'll he'll straighten up and flight. Even if he did
it for a month, even if he did it for
two months, there's no chance. As talented as he is,
are you bringing that in? No, because your locker rooms
going to hell as soon as it goes away again,
(14:21):
and it's only a matter of time. Look. Ralph Roethlisberger's
best response was, today he went to the West Virginia
game and he was hanging out with the guy that
runs around with the musket and he wore the pelt
and the hat and everything, and he looked great. He
looked like a true mountain man. I mean, you gotta
look at this picture. This is you can't tell him.
I mean that's how you go unrecognized. No, that's it,
(14:43):
that's how you do it. There's no question about it.
But yeah, uh, Antonio Brown has done go playing the XFL,
stay away from social media, and he would be another guy.
Hey you know what XFL you sign there? People would
watch him. You know, Colin Kaepernick not the only guy
that would bring more eyeballs to the XFL. But how
long would he make it in the XFL game? Yeah no,
but that's saved. Well, how long would he make it
(15:04):
be salty? Hey? That guy? That guy can't throw, and
then he'd be going, hey, Ben, I really love you. Now,
these guys can't hit the broadside of a bar. All
his problem, of his problems, he compounds by social media.
And you know, I remember when players all thought social
media was gonna be the best thing. Oh, it's not
gonna My message will get through to my fans unfiltered.
The evil media is not gonna get in my way.
(15:26):

where Jameis Winston should wind up. You're gonna faint dead away. Plus,
(16:08):
Antonio Brown is not back in, but somebody else is
back in the National Football League? Does he deserve to be?
It's next on Fox. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. Miles Garrett is back
in the National Football League. Brown star, who was suspended
(16:28):
for the season after pulling the helmet off of quarterback
Mason Rudolph's head and trying to hit him over the
head with his own helmet. Garrett got a band for
the rest of this season, which turned out to be
six games. We talked to Jason lackin four on the
show last night and we said, Hey, what's going on
with this meeting that Miles Garrett's gonna have with Commissioner Goodell?
And he said, listen to formality. Just want to make
(16:49):
sure everything is good. He understands that, Hey, something else
happens and there's gonna be no more leniency for you,
not like this is lenient, but something bad happens and
you are going to be in worse trouble you could
possibly imagine. And it's more of rubber stamp formality. And
that's we found out today that Myles Garrett is allowed
back in the league and the Brands have already put
out a statement welcoming back into their locker room. So
(17:11):
Myles Garrett be ready to go four week one for
the Cleveland Browns. Now wasn't too soon? Sure it was
because six games you get to the rest of the season,
they're not going anywhere. And then when the off season comes,
it's like, Okay, all I did was missed six games.
Everything is fine. Now I'm getting ready to start the season. Now,
you if you can make a suspension go over the
course from one season to the next, that really makes
(17:34):
it sink in. But in the end, you know what's
gonna happen. He's gonna get suspended again. This is who
Myles Garrett is. How many hits did he have last
year borderline to illegal hits on quarterbacks knocking them out
of games at least three and it ended the season
of a couple of them, So you really think suddenly
he's learned his lesson is not gonna be hitting quarterbacks late,
hitting them illegally. He's gonna wind up getting another penalty
(17:56):
and some kind of vantas perfect type suspension. Yes, because
that's who Miles Garrett is so upset that he's not
suspended longer. It's just gonna happen. He's just gonna get
suspended again. But I missed the end of the season,
and as we know, they don't like to carry over
if they can, right, new slate, new year, new calendar
year or whatever gets the strong admonishment because everybody came
(18:20):
with their oh you don't know Myles Garrett the guy
talk right, No, Well, we had the one where you
talk about someone potentially punching him when he was in
the car or some nonsense, and he didn't phase him,
and he kept going, I mean there there's a bunch
of hyperbole, and everybody's standing up for you know how
what a cultured guy is whatever is? No, I watched
him obliterate quarterbacks a couple of times, and we watched
(18:43):
against your jets. Uh and my former Northwestern guy how
things reverberation of the whistle might have been interpreted a
little differently by Myles Garrett in those situations. So yeah,
he's he's gonna find himself probably with a lot of
pink slips in the lock, I would guess over time,
and then it just becomes a question of do you
(19:04):
get enough of those to where you get into another
disciplinary situation. What happened on the field against the Steelers.
I would like to think we never see the like
of that again, at least from him. Like the odds
are the odds are pretty slim that he's gonna do
something that egregious and dumb again, aren't they? I don't know.
(19:25):
I'm just saying if you were to put betting odds
on the no, I think he will do something because
that he plays very undisciplined and like I said, he
was out of control last year even not counting this.
So what's gonna happen again? Well, he's always uh doing
a good job of timing the snap, that's for sure.
Let's put it that way a little bit early with
with some regularity. And why the whistles aren't blown to
(19:46):
protect quarterbacks, that's a whole other thing that needs to
be adjudicated and discussed amongst the officials and the league
office of hey, we really need to watch this guy
off the jump. Well, but he doesn't have impeccable timing.
But there's a line to be to be drawn. But
you get into something else, and this is what He's
really lucky. As you mentioned Ben Roethlisberger a few minutes ago,
he's lucky it was Mason Rudolph, backup quarterback who had
(20:12):
his own role in this and that people didn't like.
He's just a guy you can dismiss because if that
was Ben Roethlisberger, I don't think Myles Garrett see in
the field until maybe the middle part of this season.
You had you hit a big time starting and it
sucks that there's different rules, but there are different rules
if this was Roethlisberger playing and you decided to rip
off Roethlisberger's helmet and hit himhoa, whoa, whoa, Hey wait
(20:35):
a minute now, and the outrage is even bigger because
remember when it happened, it was well, Mason Rudolph, look,
I want I saw the onion headline today. Myles Garrett
allowed back in because Mason Rudolph's face looks so blankingly punishable.
I mean that that's that's kind of the attitude that
some people have about There's a lot of people that
had that attitude about unless they saw that picture tonight
(20:56):
with the West. But still you're talking about a franchise
quarterback who's been a star, are in two Super Bowls. Know,
this is Mason Rudolph who it's easy to dismiss and
go it was only Mason Rudolph. I don't like him anyway,
And so yeah, it's it's six games. If it was
a bigger star, if it was Roethlisberger, it would it
would be into this season and and it would still
be indefinite. Let's see what you do in the off season.
Will revisit this in the early part of two thousand
(21:18):
and twenty after the season starts. That's whereuld be. He's
lucky it was Mason Rudolph. Twitter certainly gonna have his
uh the microscope on him and like Cleveland claiming, they've
all turned the page right. And so here's one other
variable that re enters the picture. Twitter at how about
a frescup? Mike gets smollen done. The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Carbon Live from the Geico studios. So now
(21:40):
that Jamis Winston can see, where should he play quarterback
this year? Way, do we tell you the best destination?
It's not Cleveland. You gotta get a good cheesecake factory.
Drop that we run in there. You gotta got a
couple of them. Do no, just cheesecake. Just cheesecake factory.
One for me, cheesecake factory. That's not bad. I like,
(22:02):
all right, very good. We're gettingensued for sure, but coming
up in ninety seconds. Yeah, we'll tell you where Jamie
should go. And boy would this be fun? But first
it's not Cleveland. Speaking of fun, be sure to catch
live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio ah app Jason
(22:23):
Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Geico Studios. Apparently all
Jamis Winston had to do was have Lasik surgery to
correct his nearsightedness. Now, apparently Winston has been suffering from
nearsightedness his entire career and now has gotten surgery to
correct that. Now, I want to go back and go
if he's had trouble seeing, why are you waiting until
(22:46):
you've been in the league for five years to have
surgery to correct it. Sounds like this would have been
you think it would cover and rectified. Going back to
I don't know, crab leg days, all the way back
in Florida State, it's him. Seems like we would have
figured this out a while a while ago. As Bruce
arians said at the end of the season, he can't
read the scoreboard, but he can see the guys in
front of him, so he's fine. I couldn't see how
(23:08):
much time has left on the plate clock. I can't
say tell me how much? Wow delay a game? All right? No, man,
So you would think that would have happened earlier. Act
how many delay games do they have? This becomes an
interesting Now you should have none, now you have none.
But this this is I mean, more quarterbacks are gonna
say this. Oh, that's why my interception total was so
high last year, Right, I need Lasik Alright, it's great.
So now it's he's got it fixed. But that's fine
(23:31):
for one year. My man's been playing for five Yeah,
I know, I know, and he's throwing interceptions a lot
of interceptions. All of them were last year. It's it's bad.
Well you went thirty three man T J. Winston going
from thirty three thirty to j actually done, there you
have it. But now I got something for you because
(23:54):
this is not just Hey, Jameis Winston can see now
you can sign him as a free agent. Where is
the best destination for Jamis Winston? Put it out if
if wishing made it so now I'm gonna throw I'm
gonna put this out there in the universe. Not only
would I like to see it, this kind of is
the only place this team should go for a quarterback
(24:16):
when they lose their incumbent, because with Tom Brady leaving,
the best player they can go get in free agency
who is available and attainable that's gonna give them the
best potential for points is Jamis Winston to the Patriots
right now? Follow me on this. There's a lot been
(24:38):
made of this quarterback class that's out there this year.
I'll look at all these free agent quarterbacks who are
out there. All right, Let's deal with a couple right
off the bat, right Dak Prescott is not going to
the Patriots. He's gonna get tagged, resigned, get his money.
Drew Brees said, I'm gonna play for the Saints, so
I'm gonna retire. It's not gonna be Drew Brees. Right,
he's not going anywhere right now. I'd be looking for
odds on the latter part of that, by the way,
But things off, he's not. He's not gonna leave and
(25:01):
leave the comforts of the Superdome to go play in
New England when he can throw fifteen touchdowns and fifteen
picks and go. Oh, we told you it was just
like friendly confines you had for most of your career.
So he's not going there, right. It's not gonna be
Drew Brees. It's not gonna be Dak Prescott, right, none
of none of those are happening, So it's not gonna
be Philip Rivers. My god. Can you imagine Philip Rivers
trying to throw those underhanded ducks up in the air
(25:22):
in Gillette in the swirling winds. They would they would
land in the air and they would stay up there.
They wouldn't come down. Well, the ball is actually lighter
than the air, so it's saying up there. So none
of those big names is gonna happen. If you're letting
Brady go, are you getting better by signing Teddy Bridgewater,
Ryan Tannehill, that next set of quarterbacks who are going
to be available. No, on his best day, Ryan Tannehill,
(25:44):
as great as he was last year, is still not
as good as Tom Brady during a really bad year.
You don't know that you can count on Tannehill and
Bridgewater to be dynamic. And that's what the Patriots need,
is a dynamic offense. They need to be able to
put more points on the board and go up and
down the field easily. Jamis Winston is the most dynamic
quarterback who will be available. You know he can put
(26:06):
points on the board. Just gotta cut those picks down
from thirty to twenty. You don't think Josh McDaniels Belichick
are saying, hey, you know what, we can cut those
picks down from thirty to twenty and Jamis can come
and we can win and we can go to the
super Bowl with Jamis Winston, which also would be the
biggest challenge for Bill Belichick because you know, once Brady leaves,
it's gonna be like Shack and Kobe. Who's gonna be
(26:26):
the first one to get a championship. Who's gonna win
that war? Shack won the next year to Kobe a
few years and then he won too. But this is
what it's gonna be, Brady Leaves who can win first,
Brady or Belichick, And Belichick can say not only did
I win, I won with Jamis bleep and Winston, who
through thirty picks last year eight for his career. So
you're telling me how great Tom Brady was. I'll go
(26:47):
win with Jamis. It's a challenge. He's dynamic. That's the
best fit. While they go and draft a quarterback for
the future, because they're gonna draft too low to try
to get a guy like to Uh or Joe Burrow,
and they're not to trade the draft capital needed to
move up to the top three in the draft, so
they'll draft later on a draft their next quarterback in
the field. They'll draft to Jimmy Garoppolo. But Jamis Winston,
(27:09):
that's your guy. Wow? Like that? Huh? It blows my mind.
It's it's not again, it's one of your great theories.
That's great that you want to talk about the antithesis
of a Bill Belichick guy showing up to run his offense.
The most careless guy with a football we've seen him
(27:34):
saying with him. Look, there's a lot of things Bill Belichick,
Josh McDaniels can fix. They're not fixing that accurate inaccuracy.
I wanted to call it accuracy, but then people might
get the idea that I think Jameis Winston is accurate.
And that's difficult proposition when you talk about a guy
who threw and thirty three touchdowns. A lot of that
(27:54):
being all right, throw it up. Evan's gonna make a play,
throw it up. Godwin makes a play to say Jamis
doesn't have a world class arm. I just don't see
the fit from a philosophical standpoint. As much as they
want to be right and they want to play that
Shack Kobe game, I think that would be a lot
of fun to watch. I can't put James there, Mario
(28:17):
ly reclamation prob. They want to put points on the board,
that's the That's the thing is they want to put
points on the board. In New England, they don't. They
don't want to have them not go on the board.
The only guy that can't throw more than ten yards downfield,
they don't want that. But you actually call something for
the guy to do it. You don't let him be
captain checked down Jamis Winston to the Patriots because Ryan
Tannehill had nothing to lose in that offense. You want
(28:39):
to talk about a guy that knew he was playing
with house money and could play fast and loose with
every down that was its Look, it sounds crazy. I
like it, but it sounds as crazy. It sounds crazy
as hell. Fringe, No, come on, I have not. This
is something that I would expect somewhere else, not even close.
(29:03):
Oh boy, then the Jamis Winston Sam Donald quarterback controversy,
LASA came fixing that problem. Belichick and McDaniels. We'll get
we'll get those ten picks away from probably paid for
the surgery. Look, I love that it would be the
ultimate and Nego moves, so that part of it is
delicious theater, but actually making that happen to where he
(29:25):
becomes a viable quarterback who doesn't lose games for you
and turn the ball over three four times a game. Man,
that's hard, old habits die hard. Twitter At how about
a fresca? Mike at Swollen on The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Carmen Love. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. This big story out
(29:50):
of the NFL tonight. We talk a lot about money
all the time when it comes to salaries and players
and is so and so worth it, and we factor
in the salary cap and all kinds of stuff. But
how about this money for a broadcaster? They're leaking my details? Sorry, yes, yes,
how about this cash? I thought I was told that
(30:11):
was all confidential. Um, this is a story that Clay
Travis had an out kicked the coverage. CBS Sports has
this as well. Tony Romo is set to make somewhere
between fifteen and twenty million dollars a year from either
CBS or ESPN. This is about what Romo made a
(30:34):
year to play quarterback for the Dallas He'll get twenty million. Look,
this is on the surface. You can say what are
you doing what? Because you know, Look, I'm the first
person to say, do I really watch what the analysts
are saying? Does anybody really get what the analysts are saying? No?
The only time you listen is when there's a replay
(30:55):
because it looks like a play could be overturned. But
everything that's going on during the game, you can see it.
In fact, I'll go bold on you. In the next
five years, a normal broadcast of a game is going
to either be the standard play by play or you're
gonna see a game being broadcast and other people talking
about it but not doing play by play, but just
(31:17):
talking about the game as it's going kind of like
what we do when a game, a big game is
going on, and we kind of tell you what's going
on as the game is unfolding. Like, for instance, we
talk about this Laker game right now with the Nuggets, Well,
what's the story of the game. Well, off the bench,
Dwight Howard is blah blah blah, and you would watch
the action and we would talk about what's been going
on in the game. But not, here's Rondo upcourt looking
(31:39):
to the wing. Lebron's got it. That wouldn't be it,
because really that's kind of come that, that's had its day.
People still like it, but you don't really need to
know that. If I'm watching a play that Brady is
thrown and complete the pass for a first down, I
have the yellow line and everything I need. I had everything.
When do I need to know what's going on? Oh?
We we a penalty flag on the play, Let's go
to the the referee. He's gonna have the announcement, and
(32:01):
you get it. We get everything, We see everything, we
need to when it. When we can't, we hear it
because we go to the officials. So play by play,
I've told you is really overrated, all right, because you know,
I don't listen all the times people want to complain
about Jessica Mendoz or Alex Rodriguez. It's like, listen, it's fine.
It's not anything that's great, doesn't like the world on fire,
(32:21):
but it's it's fine, it's not awful, it's not a
terrible broadcast. Boogram McFarland is okay. But the fact that
they want to million, which suggests otherwise. Right, But here's
the thing. Romo is the one guy who cuts through.
And if you're putting him on a nationally televised game
every week, you're giving him three and a half hours
of prime time real estate. And Romo is the one
(32:43):
person that people listen to doing games. Is he as
good as he was when he first came out. No,
he doesn't predict plays as much, and some of his
statements are a little bit more vacuous and and and
get a little bit more elementary as time goes on,
you know, barring a little bit from the phil Simms philosophy,
if I can just say things like when the ball
is wet, it's harder for the quarterback to throw. I mean,
there's there's a few more, but still, if you're gonna
(33:07):
pay one guy in in the NFL, he gets three
and a half hours on a Sunday or if you're
ESPN on a Monday, and people talk about him, he
pushes the conversation. He has a conversation piece. There are
very few analysts in games that what they say something,
you stop and we react to them. Charles Barkley has
done it in the NBA for a long, long, long
(33:28):
long time. You see guys in the NFL trying to
do it now. And there's a handful of people who
do that. Okay, so and so said this, Why did
they say this? And we go on from there. But Romo,
as far as a game analyst, he's really the only one.
He's almost like the version of Howard Cosell. Because when
Howard Cosell did Monday Night Football back in the seventies,
(33:49):
didn't matter what the game was going on, People listen
to see what he had to say. People listen to Romo,
they want to see him breakdown plays and want to
see him predict plays more. For whatever reason, he came
out with a with a huge backing behind him of
interest because he could predict plays and now here's where
he is. He makes it. So if you're gonna give
anybody that kind of money, I can see giving it
(34:09):
to Romo. Yeah. I think part of it is the
we watched his whole career and never got over. Seemed
likable enough, right, attached to the starlets and everything else,
and then he goes into the broadcast booth, seemed fretet
and easy. He was doing his golf thing, so it
just seemed like a relatable guy, as relatable as you
could be, having been the Dallas Cowboys quarterback for a
(34:30):
decade plus. But the only other guy I think that
really moves the needle. And it's more the last couple
of years with his commentary. I mean, you look at
what the Joe Buck Troy Aikman booth has become the
last few years, more more critical. I think Aikman has
been at times about players and and certainly they cover
a lot of Dallas Cowboys games, so he's he's been
(34:51):
in the spotlight because he's had to analyze the team
where he made himself a Hall of Fame career. So
you've got that effect, But the business keeps rolling. Yeah,
the second third screen experiences, Yeah, there'll be more of that.
I mean, how many broadcasts are done now where the
the analyst and the play by play guy aren't even
(35:11):
in the same room, right, or a woman or whoever's
calling a game. They're actually sitting in a studio hundreds
or thousands of miles away. I mean, we're already seeing
some advances in that regard, and I would only expect
it to continue to go through as we've seen with
the College Championship or even the Super Bowl. Right, they
had the the alternate viewing experience with Fox if you
(35:32):
wanted to watch Joel Klatt hang out with Joe Montana
and Drew Brees and and Brett fare if you had
that second experience as you go. So, I mean it's
already kind of mutating a bit, but the headliners still
bring you to the table. I mean, Booker McFarland, if
you misspoke at all, became national news for another twenty
four hours, right, So it just there, there's still those
(35:54):
primetime opportunities to push forward. Yeah, and and Romo does
it in a positive way. Normally, when I see Booger
trend to go okay, what did he just say? What
could he? Oh, the Minnesota the Minneapolis Miracle went against
the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, great, I get it, I get it.
But you know, Romo does it in a positive way,
and that we haven't seen that in an analyst if
for a longer. Tony Siragosa was supposed to be that
(36:16):
guy he's like, oh my god, Gooses going to the
go to the broadcast booth. He's gonna and Goose has
been a pretty good analyst, but as he been what
we thought he was gonna be, No, he hasn't. Boomer
Siasin was supposed to be the can't miss guy. Boomer
is gonna retire, go right to the boy. He's gonna
be great. And you know what, Boomer was okay, and
then he got fired and now he's you know, been
able to rejump started his career doing you know, morning
(36:38):
radios and CBS where Sciasen says something, is it something
that makes news No, when Tony saw something, we want
to do our marve Albert Boomer a Sias. Yes, what
do you have to say about the Bengals uniforms? Yes,
but when Tony Romo says something, it becomes news. Especially. Look,
(36:58):
it's a high profile thing that you have paid for,
whether you're CBS or ESPN, to put all that money
into the NFL broadcast. You want to make sure that
thing is the best it can be. You can't always
control the matchups. I can't always control the matchups, but
you can control the people you put on there. And
let's just say, for instance, if I signed him in
(37:19):
game twenty million a year, I'd want to put him
on as many games as possible. I'd want to put
him on Thursday Night. I want to put him on
Monday n I don't want to put him on Son.
I want to do all these things. You want to
get him in as many places as possible, because let's
just say you wind up with a bad game, there's
a bad game on Monday Night, or a bad guy
wherever it is Thursday night. You know we got Roma
on it. People are gonna talk about it, like when
(37:40):
you used to put Bill Walton on an NBA game.
It didn't matter if the game stunk, people still paid
attention to it. People pay attention to the late Pac
twelve basketball games. Okay, here he is with Dave Patch
and he's wearing a tiedyed jersey. He's throwing stuff at
people in the stands. He's talking about milking cows and
and all that. What he makes news when you have
(38:03):
that rare guy. Yeah, I see where you give them
that kind of money. Yeah, a few other guys, I
mean from the play by place side, I mean, how
many times was it all? Right? This has weight because
Gus Johnson's there, And that's one thing you have in
both the Fox and CBS boots for those afternoon or
you know, early games depending on the window, you know
that they're calling them in. But if you see Buck
(38:24):
and Ache been on a game, it has weight. If
you see Nance and Ache and Romo on a game,
it has weight. Right, they got aside. You know there's
something at stake, whether it be a player at coach
or just the standings. You know at at a its
base that there's something more going onto those games. And look,
it's good for the business, right if if guys are
(38:44):
gonna get paid that much that kind of cash. It
shows that still having an opinion, having the ability to
analyze uh and push the narrative forward still has value.
And for guys like you and I sitting behind the microphone,
go get it, Romo. I mean I get extra five
dollars in a sandwich, Jason. We like what you're doing.
We're gonna give you one extra sandwich per week, hey,
(39:06):
Salt over the course of a year. I mean, depending
what kind of sandwich. Because if you're talking about, you know,
a large at any of our sandwich shops here in
Los Angeles, that's twenty bucks a week. That's not a ton,
but it's a thousand dollars. So we give Mr Kramer
seven million dollars in a lifetime supply of coffee. Al Right, great,
what if they added free parking at the Cheesecake Factor. Hey,
(39:29):
by free parking you mean a weekly. I don't want
free park I want my own spot, so I guarantee
nobody's gonna be in there. We're not good. Yeah, no,
no no. When I pull in, I want there to
be nothing else there. I want to be okay, boom,
that's my spot right there, And see that waiting for
Jason with a couple of hearts. Romantic things on there, sandwiches,
(39:50):
my spot, my spot, not parking pass on my own spot.
Be careful that it's doesn't start bouncing. You'll have some problems.
It's like, you know, I feel like it's you know,
it's like Brian Goss, like trying to explain to Emma
Stone and crazy stupid love. Oh yeah, all the girls
come back here and do the Patrick swayzey move. That's,
that's and that. Then they're in. Then they want to
have sex with me. That's the way you could dance.
(40:10):
If only I could pick up a woman like Patrick
Swayze did, start to start working on those lats. Smith,

minute from now. Got some fun, fun, fun happening right
now in the NBA. Also, we have fun in the
National Football League. We have fun in Major League Baseball.
Today was a very fun day filled with news funny.
You gotta have a lot of good news along the way.
I mean, not that it's all good news, but it's
all all at least fodder for us to yell at
each other about, because I'm told that's the directive. No, no no, no,
(01:05):
But just there can still be good news. But there
wasn't really wasn't. I got a lot of good news.
They've got a lot of the biggest stories, are they
Are they good? No? No, I got good news personally
today as far as everything else goes. No, no, no, no,

(01:47):
Salt Rosenberg, you said, thy Street. I mean, we have
good news today, A lot of good news today. Major
League Baseball. We continue to mock them, I think with
more of the things that have now passed, pictures and
catchers reported to that's fantast the best news of the day.
(02:07):
I'll start with this because it was really fun. As
you know, my dad is the marshal on the kind
of a big deal. It's his super Bowl week. He's
been he's the marshal there for now the last six years,
I want to say seven years. Somehow he's all the
chicanery and problems that he's caused, he's not been caught
(02:28):
just yet. Yeah, he's a marshal on sixteen. Well here
see here's Hires definitely onto him now, he mean that's
the name is tournament. I mean it's his place now.
Today was the program So of course my dad is
the first because Tuesday is all prep day. And my
dad does different things and uh sometimes he does you know,
he does many different that many different things where sometimes
he picks golfers up from the airport, you know, different things.
(02:51):
You have to play a lot of grab bass on
the Wednesday. Wednesday is the program day. And I said, oh,
how's the day going so far? And booth he sends
me a picture, got a picture of tiger Woods three
ft away. Tiger Wood was looking at the camera smiling
for him. I go, are you allowed to do that?
He goes, yeah, yah know it's it's prom day. Everybody's
taking pictures every much for the selfie. I said, no,
that's what I say, said why did you much bigger?
(03:11):
You gotta frame that and displaced any picture he has
with you upon that. Yeah, I would know, Well I
don't know that it is not on prom day a selfie. Yeah,
with Tiger especially that things are sure, especially because he
could sell it as hey, we're both two people born
on December because they both share the same birthday. My dad,
(03:33):
as I've told you, is the big under achiever because
people born on December thirtieth include Tiger Woods, Sandy Culfax
and Lebron James and then my dad. So that's he
can't even get on the metal stands tough. I'll tell
you how your dad pulls it off. Though, how does
he pull it off? He shows up with a blond wig. Oh,
then that's the last day being the marshal in the
(03:55):
sixteenth Hold. He'll get the selfie though, So he said,
I got another one book on his Well he got
that self. He was, I got another one for you,
and I said, okay, he said it to me. And
it's a picture because Tiger played with Condoleeza Rice. There
you go. I mean kind of Stanford thing going Condo
Liza not you know, it was was kind of looking
at someone else and waving, I mean tigers waving at
my dad like, hey, you doing all right? I gotta picture?
(04:17):
Like Tiger's very you know, boom photoge Obviously he knows. Hey,
cameras here, my turn it. We're having fun. He's there, Conda, Liza,
Rice is looking at someplace else. I'm like, you gotta
tell me how you got Did you just walk up
to Tiger and say, hey, Tiger picture. I'm you know,
my son's on the radio. I just want to, you know,
take a picture. I don't know how you got it,
but but he got it. Asked forgiveness instead of permission.
(04:39):
At worst, what was gonna happen some some thug was
gonna come up and say, delete that picture, deleted deleted. Well, look,
he's by himself on a golf course. I don't think
Tiger was upset about that, but really the picture. Don't
think there's someone's trailing Tiger Woods to make sure some
knucklehead doesn't get out of line. Yeah, but but he's
on the golf course, so it's okay. It's not like
(05:00):
he's right into him at Perkins Caking Steak. I'm still
contending that there's at least someone walking the tiger path
on the course, making sure no knucklehead gets too. But
I'll show you the picture. It looks like a poster
like Tiger. This is when he probably look look at
the picture right there, like he's looking right at my
dad's smiling. You know, your dad's taking a picture of
(05:21):
the caddy. Well, the caddy. Everybody's happy though. It's a
lot of good. It's a big s that's a big smile.
That's the joker smile. That's now stop with that. That's
a big smile. Stuff. I'm gonna get you later. Smile. Oh.
I would definitely take Tiger over my dad in a fight,
just like you got three guys in a row. So
she got Tiger, you got the caddy, and then you
(05:43):
got some dude behind looking at and looking at the
world like what why is he taking a picture? Is
taking picture in three levels. People get happier as they
get closer to the camera. Evidently as they get closer
to your dad radius of happiness happening here. I have
to I have to I gotta get him, well, we
gotta get my dad on the show. And I also
got to ask him if um I can put this
(06:04):
picture up on social media, because I wanted to continue
to be the martialness. You give him credit Riviera, Oh
photo credit, Walt Smith. Yeah sure, yeah, of course credit. Yeah,
well right there. But it's a great I mean really,
it's photo credit, asked Walter, this is one of those
like you expect this to be framed in Tiger's house.
That's a great picture. It is pretty good picture. I mean.
And then my dad, I mean, dad, you gotta use
(06:24):
portrait mode. You gotta do different things. But had some
pretty you could You could play with the lightning, you
could do some effects. You can have the world burning
behind him like he was the Joker coming out of
that behind him right, like he was Heath Ledger coming
out of that hospital. Come one, come on, come on,
come get me, come on, come on. Or you just
photo shopp him in the suv. You could do that, yeah,
(06:45):
with with a golf club in his hand, break breaking
a window, running over a fire hide. Why do we
got to do that? You were talking about being all
happy and and good news, and now you're just trying
to take us into a deep, dark, sordid place. This
was good news. You're the one that said, no, there
is no good news. I said, no, we have news.
We started with a lot of the big the big
stories weren't the happiest, but then you got to But
(07:06):
then you got to your your dad's photo of Tiger
like he just won the lottery. Thought you were going
to complain anymore? I didn't. I mean, yeah you were.
We had good news. You know, I want to change them.
I want to talk about bad things. Let's just talk
about bad stuff. He made him the joker. I just
extended the joke. But the problem what what? Why? Does
doesn't need to be Joaquin Phoenix's joker? I wasn't. It
could be Seasoned Arrows joke. Well, I always enjoyed the
(07:29):
fact that the man refused to shave his must could
be very campy. It could be Jack Nicholson's joker. It
could be Steve Miller's joker. Some people call him the
Space Cowboy, the Gangster of Love. Some people call him
Maurice Maurice. I mean, it's could be that the Maurice.
But then you think about more Reice. Then you think
about Maurice going after or Morris going after Robert de
(07:50):
Niro and good Fellas, and we all know how that ended. Twitter,
And how about a Fresco Mike get Swollen on The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen live from the Geico Studio.
So with all of this good news, let's start here
with Antonio Brown because well, today being Tuesday and an
opposite day in the week, Antonio Brown decided today was
gonna be a day I'm gonna apologize to people on Twitter,
(08:11):
because you know, Antonio Brown apologizes, then he gets mad
at them all over again. Then he apologizes, then he
gets mad all over again, then he apologizing. He his
mad all over here. He decided to go on social
media and put a post on Instagram directed at Ben Roethlisberger. Now,
this is Ben Roethlisberger, who he was extremely upset about
when Roethlisberger called him out on his weekly radio show
(08:32):
following a loss to Denver for running a bad route
and uh, Brown said, Roethlisberger has got an owner mentality,
and uh they conflict there is between them. He also
told Roethlisberger to shut up already after Roethlisberger said in
an interview that he regretted calling Brown out for the
poor route running in that game. So, the last couple
of times that A B has talked about Ben Roethlisberger
(08:53):
has told him to shut up, say he's got an
owner mentality, all of these things. But now today, apparently
because he woke up deciding, I don't know, I am
back in the NFL. I really want to get back
in the National Football League, he decided to put out
an apology, put a picture of both of them up
from their playing days. Well, really, you know Roethlisberger is
still playing. He's not. Um, I never realized how good
(09:13):
I had it, got caught up in my emotion with
everyone coming after me. I really apologize for my actions. Sincerely, man,
It's never been another connection like what we've done in
the past decade. I appreciate you, sincerely, A B. Sorry,
I'm not sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. A B
(09:34):
is like the boyfriend who leaves and you're happy he's gone,
comes back, you date again, he leaves, he comes back,
he leaves, and finally you make that push right. I'm
not We're not gonna date anymore. But now I really
want to come back. I mean every day it could
have been. He could have woke up today and been
pissed at Ben Roethlisberger, but he decided today I want
(09:54):
to say something good about Roethlisberger and say how sorry
I was. And I was never had it better than
I did with you. And you know our relationship is
always so special to me. And those other women didn't
mean anything, and you know, I just just love you
so much. I mean, this is what we got from
Antonio Brown. So I'm gonna help Antonio Brown. See I
like Ben Roethlisberger's response, Sorry, I'm not sorry. I'm sorry.
(10:18):
I'm not sorry. Do your best trying to help Antonio Brown.
Here's how you help Antonio Brown. As you know, I say,
one of my big things I would do outside of
being a radio host is that would be a pr
advisor to the stars. Right. I would help people put
out the message they want that doesn't hurt their career
and helps them as much as possible. Antonio Brown is
a very simple case. You think it's complex with everything
(10:40):
he's got going on, in these crazy charges hanging over
him for all these things, and you would think, oh, well,
how do you help Antonio Brown? Oh? I could help
him in one second. I would say, do you want
to play in the NFL? Yes, here's you need to do.
You need to take care of all your stuff, all
this legal stuff right, take care of it. Don't tweet
(11:03):
or go on Instagram until after the draft, stay away
from social media for five minutes. Because all of his
problems that he had that we all knew about, did
the public things, being upset with the Raiders, not showing up,
the whole foot problem, all of these things, he was
still playing. The Raiders still wanted him despite all that,
(11:24):
the Patriots still wanted him. When did Antonio Brown get
himself in the most amount of trouble when he decides
I can't say off of Twitter, I can't say off
of social media. I can't have people have text published
where I want to say, let's go get this woman
who's wants to bring charges against me. If he would
just stay away from social media, you would be stunned
how easily it would be to say, Antonio Brown, you're
(11:46):
back in the National Football League because all this other
stuff going on. He's got to take care of the
legal stuff. But social media is such a big deal
for him, and it's something that no one You don't
have to do it, but people like to do it,
so okay, but you gotta know how to do it.
He is the worst at social media. If I was
a teacher of social media. He would get an F
minus because look at what you've done. Because of social media.
(12:09):
You have found your way out of the National Football League.
You went from fifty million dollars guaranteed to zero because
you can't stay away from social media. You can't stay
away from criticizing former teammates. You can't stay away from
criticizing current front offices. You can't stay away from criticizing
people who have a legal case pending against you. You
can't stay away from it. Put down the phone, don't tweet.
(12:31):
I know it's hard because you liked. Everybody likes to
I like being talked about, I like the clicks. I
like being part of the conversation. I get it. But
you're never gonna play in the NFL again. Don't tweet
until after the draft. And then when all that smoke
clears and the dust settles, you take care of your
legal problems. Suddenly it's okay, we're Antonio Brown. Let's go
get him. And you're not gonna get a big pay day,
(12:52):
but at least you're back in the league. You have
a big hear you had a big paid in the
next year, and you're back and you continue on your career,
have another two or three more years in your prime,
until you're thirty four is years old. You do that,
you're back in the league. But he can't do it.
He can't stay off of social media. So tomorrow will
be something where he's ripping Belichick for not believing in
him and ripping Bob Kraft again. But then he loves
Tom Brady. Then he's gonna hate Tom Brady. I mean,
(13:14):
this is just how it goes with Antonio Brown. Now
that's just it. I like your theory, but there's no
practical application here. It doesn't work. He was doing all
the media rounds, including some interviews, saying, hey, I talked
to John Gruden today and talking about going back to
now the Las Vegas Raiders, and hey, maybe I can
reunite with Tom and we can be there and and
(13:35):
all of this. It just keeps spiraling, right, And the
apology to Ben Roethlisberger, No, you can't take back what
you said about him and all the other things you
went after in throwing all all that out on social
media and throwing shade and just say, oh man, you know,
it was great, we had good times. It's it's you know,
I'm sorry it doesn't work out. No, it's it's gone.
(13:58):
And I don't know that there's a gm where things
stand now that that could reasonably say, you know what,
he'll he'll straighten up and flight. Even if he did
it for a month, even if he did it for
two months, there's no chance. As talented as he is,
are you bringing that in? No, because your locker rooms
going to hell as soon as it goes away again,
(14:21):
and it's only a matter of time. Look. Ralph Roethlisberger's
best response was, today he went to the West Virginia
game and he was hanging out with the guy that
runs around with the musket and he wore the pelt
and the hat and everything, and he looked great. He
looked like a true mountain man. I mean, you gotta
look at this picture. This is you can't tell him.
I mean that's how you go unrecognized. No, that's it,
(14:43):
that's how you do it. There's no question about it.
But yeah, uh, Antonio Brown has done go playing the XFL,
stay away from social media, and he would be another guy.
Hey you know what XFL you sign there? People would
watch him. You know, Colin Kaepernick not the only guy
that would bring more eyeballs to the XFL. But how
long would he make it in the XFL game? Yeah no,
but that's saved. Well, how long would he make it
(15:04):
be salty? Hey? That guy? That guy can't throw, and
then he'd be going, hey, Ben, I really love you. Now,
these guys can't hit the broadside of a bar. All
his problem, of his problems, he compounds by social media.
And you know, I remember when players all thought social
media was gonna be the best thing. Oh, it's not
gonna My message will get through to my fans unfiltered.
The evil media is not gonna get in my way.
(15:26):
Go ahead, say whatever you want to say. For some guys,
that's great. Just don't record and stream yourself screaming at
the mother of your children and berating police officers while
pelting people with gummy appendages. Auto Zone as the free

(16:08):
Antonio Brown is not back in, but somebody else is
back in the National Football League? Does he deserve to be?
It's next on Fox. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. Miles Garrett is back
in the National Football League. Brown star, who was suspended
(16:28):
for the season after pulling the helmet off of quarterback
Mason Rudolph's head and trying to hit him over the
head with his own helmet. Garrett got a band for
the rest of this season, which turned out to be
six games. We talked to Jason lackin four on the
show last night and we said, Hey, what's going on
with this meeting that Miles Garrett's gonna have with Commissioner Goodell?
And he said, listen to formality. Just want to make
(16:49):
sure everything is good. He understands that, Hey, something else
happens and there's gonna be no more leniency for you,
not like this is lenient, but something bad happens and
you are going to be in worse trouble you could
possibly imagine. And it's more of rubber stamp formality. And
that's we found out today that Myles Garrett is allowed
back in the league and the Brands have already put
out a statement welcoming back into their locker room. So
(17:11):
Myles Garrett be ready to go four week one for
the Cleveland Browns. Now wasn't too soon? Sure it was
because six games you get to the rest of the season,
they're not going anywhere. And then when the off season comes,
it's like, Okay, all I did was missed six games.
Everything is fine. Now I'm getting ready to start the season. Now,
you if you can make a suspension go over the
course from one season to the next, that really makes
(17:34):
it sink in. But in the end, you know what's
gonna happen. He's gonna get suspended again. This is who
Myles Garrett is. How many hits did he have last
year borderline to illegal hits on quarterbacks knocking them out
of games at least three and it ended the season
of a couple of them, So you really think suddenly
he's learned his lesson is not gonna be hitting quarterbacks late,
hitting them illegally. He's gonna wind up getting another penalty
(17:56):
and some kind of vantas perfect type suspension. Yes, because
that's who Miles Garrett is so upset that he's not
suspended longer. It's just gonna happen. He's just gonna get
suspended again. But I missed the end of the season,
and as we know, they don't like to carry over
if they can, right, new slate, new year, new calendar
year or whatever gets the strong admonishment because everybody came
(18:20):
with their oh you don't know Myles Garrett the guy
talk right, No, Well, we had the one where you
talk about someone potentially punching him when he was in
the car or some nonsense, and he didn't phase him,
and he kept going, I mean there there's a bunch
of hyperbole, and everybody's standing up for you know how
what a cultured guy is whatever is? No, I watched
him obliterate quarterbacks a couple of times, and we watched
(18:43):
against your jets. Uh and my former Northwestern guy how
things reverberation of the whistle might have been interpreted a
little differently by Myles Garrett in those situations. So yeah,
he's he's gonna find himself probably with a lot of
pink slips in the lock, I would guess over time,
and then it just becomes a question of do you
(19:04):
get enough of those to where you get into another
disciplinary situation. What happened on the field against the Steelers.
I would like to think we never see the like
of that again, at least from him. Like the odds
are the odds are pretty slim that he's gonna do
something that egregious and dumb again, aren't they? I don't know.
(19:25):
I'm just saying if you were to put betting odds
on the no, I think he will do something because
that he plays very undisciplined and like I said, he
was out of control last year even not counting this.
So what's gonna happen again? Well, he's always uh doing
a good job of timing the snap, that's for sure.
Let's put it that way a little bit early with
with some regularity. And why the whistles aren't blown to
(19:46):
protect quarterbacks, that's a whole other thing that needs to
be adjudicated and discussed amongst the officials and the league
office of hey, we really need to watch this guy
off the jump. Well, but he doesn't have impeccable timing.
But there's a line to be to be drawn. But
you get into something else, and this is what He's
really lucky. As you mentioned Ben Roethlisberger a few minutes ago,
he's lucky it was Mason Rudolph, backup quarterback who had
(20:12):
his own role in this and that people didn't like.
He's just a guy you can dismiss because if that
was Ben Roethlisberger, I don't think Myles Garrett see in
the field until maybe the middle part of this season.
You had you hit a big time starting and it
sucks that there's different rules, but there are different rules
if this was Roethlisberger playing and you decided to rip
off Roethlisberger's helmet and hit himhoa, whoa, whoa, Hey wait
(20:35):
a minute now, and the outrage is even bigger because
remember when it happened, it was well, Mason Rudolph, look,
I want I saw the onion headline today. Myles Garrett
allowed back in because Mason Rudolph's face looks so blankingly punishable.
I mean that that's that's kind of the attitude that
some people have about There's a lot of people that
had that attitude about unless they saw that picture tonight
(20:56):
with the West. But still you're talking about a franchise
quarterback who's been a star, are in two Super Bowls. Know,
this is Mason Rudolph who it's easy to dismiss and
go it was only Mason Rudolph. I don't like him anyway,
And so yeah, it's it's six games. If it was
a bigger star, if it was Roethlisberger, it would it
would be into this season and and it would still
be indefinite. Let's see what you do in the off season.
Will revisit this in the early part of two thousand
(21:18):
and twenty after the season starts. That's whereuld be. He's
lucky it was Mason Rudolph. Twitter certainly gonna have his
uh the microscope on him and like Cleveland claiming, they've
all turned the page right. And so here's one other
variable that re enters the picture. Twitter at how about
a frescup? Mike gets smollen done. The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Carbon Live from the Geico studios. So now
(21:40):
that Jamis Winston can see, where should he play quarterback
this year? Way, do we tell you the best destination?
It's not Cleveland. You gotta get a good cheesecake factory.
Drop that we run in there. You gotta got a
couple of them. Do no, just cheesecake. Just cheesecake factory.
One for me, cheesecake factory. That's not bad. I like,
(22:02):
all right, very good. We're gettingensued for sure, but coming
up in ninety seconds. Yeah, we'll tell you where Jamie
should go. And boy would this be fun? But first
it's not Cleveland. Speaking of fun, be sure to catch
live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio ah app Jason
(22:23):
Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Geico Studios. Apparently all
Jamis Winston had to do was have Lasik surgery to
correct his nearsightedness. Now, apparently Winston has been suffering from
nearsightedness his entire career and now has gotten surgery to
correct that. Now, I want to go back and go
if he's had trouble seeing, why are you waiting until
(22:46):
you've been in the league for five years to have
surgery to correct it. Sounds like this would have been
you think it would cover and rectified. Going back to
I don't know, crab leg days, all the way back
in Florida State, it's him. Seems like we would have
figured this out a while a while ago. As Bruce
arians said at the end of the season, he can't
read the scoreboard, but he can see the guys in
front of him, so he's fine. I couldn't see how
(23:08):
much time has left on the plate clock. I can't
say tell me how much? Wow delay a game? All right? No, man,
So you would think that would have happened earlier. Act
how many delay games do they have? This becomes an
interesting Now you should have none, now you have none.
But this this is I mean, more quarterbacks are gonna
say this. Oh, that's why my interception total was so
high last year, Right, I need Lasik Alright, it's great.
So now it's he's got it fixed. But that's fine
(23:31):
for one year. My man's been playing for five Yeah,
I know, I know, and he's throwing interceptions a lot
of interceptions. All of them were last year. It's it's bad.
Well you went thirty three man T J. Winston going
from thirty three thirty to j actually done, there you
have it. But now I got something for you because
(23:54):
this is not just Hey, Jameis Winston can see now
you can sign him as a free agent. Where is
the best destination for Jamis Winston? Put it out if
if wishing made it so now I'm gonna throw I'm
gonna put this out there in the universe. Not only
would I like to see it, this kind of is
the only place this team should go for a quarterback
(24:16):
when they lose their incumbent, because with Tom Brady leaving,
the best player they can go get in free agency
who is available and attainable that's gonna give them the
best potential for points is Jamis Winston to the Patriots
right now? Follow me on this. There's a lot been
(24:38):
made of this quarterback class that's out there this year.
I'll look at all these free agent quarterbacks who are
out there. All right, Let's deal with a couple right
off the bat, right Dak Prescott is not going to
the Patriots. He's gonna get tagged, resigned, get his money.
Drew Brees said, I'm gonna play for the Saints, so
I'm gonna retire. It's not gonna be Drew Brees. Right,
he's not going anywhere right now. I'd be looking for
odds on the latter part of that, by the way,
But things off, he's not. He's not gonna leave and
(25:01):
leave the comforts of the Superdome to go play in
New England when he can throw fifteen touchdowns and fifteen
picks and go. Oh, we told you it was just
like friendly confines you had for most of your career.
So he's not going there, right. It's not gonna be
Drew Brees. It's not gonna be Dak Prescott, right, none
of none of those are happening, So it's not gonna
be Philip Rivers. My god. Can you imagine Philip Rivers
trying to throw those underhanded ducks up in the air
(25:22):
in Gillette in the swirling winds. They would they would
land in the air and they would stay up there.
They wouldn't come down. Well, the ball is actually lighter
than the air, so it's saying up there. So none
of those big names is gonna happen. If you're letting
Brady go, are you getting better by signing Teddy Bridgewater,
Ryan Tannehill, that next set of quarterbacks who are going
to be available. No, on his best day, Ryan Tannehill,
(25:44):
as great as he was last year, is still not
as good as Tom Brady during a really bad year.
You don't know that you can count on Tannehill and
Bridgewater to be dynamic. And that's what the Patriots need,
is a dynamic offense. They need to be able to
put more points on the board and go up and
down the field easily. Jamis Winston is the most dynamic
quarterback who will be available. You know he can put
(26:06):
points on the board. Just gotta cut those picks down
from thirty to twenty. You don't think Josh McDaniels Belichick
are saying, hey, you know what, we can cut those
picks down from thirty to twenty and Jamis can come
and we can win and we can go to the
super Bowl with Jamis Winston, which also would be the
biggest challenge for Bill Belichick because you know, once Brady leaves,
it's gonna be like Shack and Kobe. Who's gonna be
(26:26):
the first one to get a championship. Who's gonna win
that war? Shack won the next year to Kobe a
few years and then he won too. But this is
what it's gonna be, Brady Leaves who can win first,
Brady or Belichick, And Belichick can say not only did
I win, I won with Jamis bleep and Winston, who
through thirty picks last year eight for his career. So
you're telling me how great Tom Brady was. I'll go
(26:47):
win with Jamis. It's a challenge. He's dynamic. That's the
best fit. While they go and draft a quarterback for
the future, because they're gonna draft too low to try
to get a guy like to Uh or Joe Burrow,
and they're not to trade the draft capital needed to
move up to the top three in the draft, so
they'll draft later on a draft their next quarterback in
the field. They'll draft to Jimmy Garoppolo. But Jamis Winston,
(27:09):
that's your guy. Wow? Like that? Huh? It blows my mind.
It's it's not again, it's one of your great theories.
That's great that you want to talk about the antithesis
of a Bill Belichick guy showing up to run his offense.
The most careless guy with a football we've seen him
(27:34):
saying with him. Look, there's a lot of things Bill Belichick,
Josh McDaniels can fix. They're not fixing that accurate inaccuracy.
I wanted to call it accuracy, but then people might
get the idea that I think Jameis Winston is accurate.
And that's difficult proposition when you talk about a guy
who threw and thirty three touchdowns. A lot of that
(27:54):
being all right, throw it up. Evan's gonna make a play,
throw it up. Godwin makes a play to say Jamis
doesn't have a world class arm. I just don't see
the fit from a philosophical standpoint. As much as they
want to be right and they want to play that
Shack Kobe game, I think that would be a lot
of fun to watch. I can't put James there, Mario
(28:17):
ly reclamation prob. They want to put points on the board,
that's the That's the thing is they want to put
points on the board. In New England, they don't. They
don't want to have them not go on the board.
The only guy that can't throw more than ten yards downfield,
they don't want that. But you actually call something for
the guy to do it. You don't let him be
captain checked down Jamis Winston to the Patriots because Ryan
Tannehill had nothing to lose in that offense. You want
(28:39):
to talk about a guy that knew he was playing
with house money and could play fast and loose with
every down that was its Look, it sounds crazy. I
like it, but it sounds as crazy. It sounds crazy
as hell. Fringe, No, come on, I have not. This
is something that I would expect somewhere else, not even close.
(29:03):
Oh boy, then the Jamis Winston Sam Donald quarterback controversy,
LASA came fixing that problem. Belichick and McDaniels. We'll get
we'll get those ten picks away from probably paid for
the surgery. Look, I love that it would be the
ultimate and Nego moves, so that part of it is
delicious theater, but actually making that happen to where he
(29:25):
becomes a viable quarterback who doesn't lose games for you
and turn the ball over three four times a game. Man,
that's hard, old habits die hard. Twitter At how about
a fresca? Mike at Swollen on The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Carmen Love. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. This big story out
(29:50):
of the NFL tonight. We talk a lot about money
all the time when it comes to salaries and players
and is so and so worth it, and we factor
in the salary cap and all kinds of stuff. But
how about this money for a broadcaster? They're leaking my details? Sorry, yes, yes,
how about this cash? I thought I was told that
(30:11):
was all confidential. Um, this is a story that Clay
Travis had an out kicked the coverage. CBS Sports has
this as well. Tony Romo is set to make somewhere
between fifteen and twenty million dollars a year from either
CBS or ESPN. This is about what Romo made a
(30:34):
year to play quarterback for the Dallas He'll get twenty million. Look,
this is on the surface. You can say what are
you doing what? Because you know, Look, I'm the first
person to say, do I really watch what the analysts
are saying? Does anybody really get what the analysts are saying? No?
The only time you listen is when there's a replay
(30:55):
because it looks like a play could be overturned. But
everything that's going on during the game, you can see it.
In fact, I'll go bold on you. In the next
five years, a normal broadcast of a game is going
to either be the standard play by play or you're
gonna see a game being broadcast and other people talking
about it but not doing play by play, but just
(31:17):
talking about the game as it's going kind of like
what we do when a game, a big game is
going on, and we kind of tell you what's going
on as the game is unfolding. Like, for instance, we
talk about this Laker game right now with the Nuggets, Well,
what's the story of the game. Well, off the bench,
Dwight Howard is blah blah blah, and you would watch
the action and we would talk about what's been going
on in the game. But not, here's Rondo upcourt looking
(31:39):
to the wing. Lebron's got it. That wouldn't be it,
because really that's kind of come that, that's had its day.
People still like it, but you don't really need to
know that. If I'm watching a play that Brady is
thrown and complete the pass for a first down, I
have the yellow line and everything I need. I had everything.
When do I need to know what's going on? Oh?
We we a penalty flag on the play, Let's go
to the the referee. He's gonna have the announcement, and
(32:01):
you get it. We get everything, We see everything, we
need to when it. When we can't, we hear it
because we go to the officials. So play by play,
I've told you is really overrated, all right, because you know,
I don't listen all the times people want to complain
about Jessica Mendoz or Alex Rodriguez. It's like, listen, it's fine.
It's not anything that's great, doesn't like the world on fire,
(32:21):
but it's it's fine, it's not awful, it's not a
terrible broadcast. Boogram McFarland is okay. But the fact that
they want to million, which suggests otherwise. Right, But here's
the thing. Romo is the one guy who cuts through.
And if you're putting him on a nationally televised game
every week, you're giving him three and a half hours
of prime time real estate. And Romo is the one
(32:43):
person that people listen to doing games. Is he as
good as he was when he first came out. No,
he doesn't predict plays as much, and some of his
statements are a little bit more vacuous and and and
get a little bit more elementary as time goes on,
you know, barring a little bit from the phil Simms philosophy,
if I can just say things like when the ball
is wet, it's harder for the quarterback to throw. I mean,
there's there's a few more, but still, if you're gonna
(33:07):
pay one guy in in the NFL, he gets three
and a half hours on a Sunday or if you're
ESPN on a Monday, and people talk about him, he
pushes the conversation. He has a conversation piece. There are
very few analysts in games that what they say something,
you stop and we react to them. Charles Barkley has
done it in the NBA for a long, long, long
(33:28):
long time. You see guys in the NFL trying to
do it now. And there's a handful of people who
do that. Okay, so and so said this, Why did
they say this? And we go on from there. But Romo,
as far as a game analyst, he's really the only one.
He's almost like the version of Howard Cosell. Because when
Howard Cosell did Monday Night Football back in the seventies,
(33:49):
didn't matter what the game was going on, People listen
to see what he had to say. People listen to Romo,
they want to see him breakdown plays and want to
see him predict plays more. For whatever reason, he came
out with a with a huge backing behind him of
interest because he could predict plays and now here's where
he is. He makes it. So if you're gonna give
anybody that kind of money, I can see giving it
(34:09):
to Romo. Yeah. I think part of it is the
we watched his whole career and never got over. Seemed
likable enough, right, attached to the starlets and everything else,
and then he goes into the broadcast booth, seemed fretet
and easy. He was doing his golf thing, so it
just seemed like a relatable guy, as relatable as you
could be, having been the Dallas Cowboys quarterback for a
(34:30):
decade plus. But the only other guy I think that
really moves the needle. And it's more the last couple
of years with his commentary. I mean, you look at
what the Joe Buck Troy Aikman booth has become the
last few years, more more critical. I think Aikman has
been at times about players and and certainly they cover
a lot of Dallas Cowboys games, so he's he's been
(34:51):
in the spotlight because he's had to analyze the team
where he made himself a Hall of Fame career. So
you've got that effect, But the business keeps rolling. Yeah,
the second third screen experiences, Yeah, there'll be more of that.
I mean, how many broadcasts are done now where the
the analyst and the play by play guy aren't even
(35:11):
in the same room, right, or a woman or whoever's
calling a game. They're actually sitting in a studio hundreds
or thousands of miles away. I mean, we're already seeing
some advances in that regard, and I would only expect
it to continue to go through as we've seen with
the College Championship or even the Super Bowl. Right, they
had the the alternate viewing experience with Fox if you
(35:32):
wanted to watch Joel Klatt hang out with Joe Montana
and Drew Brees and and Brett fare if you had
that second experience as you go. So, I mean it's
already kind of mutating a bit, but the headliners still
bring you to the table. I mean, Booker McFarland, if
you misspoke at all, became national news for another twenty
four hours, right, So it just there, there's still those
(35:54):
primetime opportunities to push forward. Yeah, and and Romo does
it in a positive way. Normally, when I see Booger
trend to go okay, what did he just say? What
could he? Oh, the Minnesota the Minneapolis Miracle went against
the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, great, I get it, I get it.
But you know, Romo does it in a positive way,
and that we haven't seen that in an analyst if
for a longer. Tony Siragosa was supposed to be that
(36:16):
guy he's like, oh my god, Gooses going to the
go to the broadcast booth. He's gonna and Goose has
been a pretty good analyst, but as he been what
we thought he was gonna be, No, he hasn't. Boomer
Siasin was supposed to be the can't miss guy. Boomer
is gonna retire, go right to the boy. He's gonna
be great. And you know what, Boomer was okay, and
then he got fired and now he's you know, been
able to rejump started his career doing you know, morning
(36:38):
radios and CBS where Sciasen says something, is it something
that makes news No, when Tony saw something, we want
to do our marve Albert Boomer a Sias. Yes, what
do you have to say about the Bengals uniforms? Yes,
but when Tony Romo says something, it becomes news. Especially. Look,
(36:58):
it's a high profile thing that you have paid for,
whether you're CBS or ESPN, to put all that money
into the NFL broadcast. You want to make sure that
thing is the best it can be. You can't always
control the matchups. I can't always control the matchups, but
you can control the people you put on there. And
let's just say, for instance, if I signed him in
(37:19):
game twenty million a year, I'd want to put him
on as many games as possible. I'd want to put
him on Thursday Night. I want to put him on
Monday n I don't want to put him on Son.
I want to do all these things. You want to
get him in as many places as possible, because let's
just say you wind up with a bad game, there's
a bad game on Monday Night, or a bad guy
wherever it is Thursday night. You know we got Roma
on it. People are gonna talk about it, like when
(37:40):
you used to put Bill Walton on an NBA game.
It didn't matter if the game stunk, people still paid
attention to it. People pay attention to the late Pac
twelve basketball games. Okay, here he is with Dave Patch
and he's wearing a tiedyed jersey. He's throwing stuff at
people in the stands. He's talking about milking cows and
and all that. What he makes news when you have
(38:03):
that rare guy. Yeah, I see where you give them
that kind of money. Yeah, a few other guys, I
mean from the play by place side, I mean, how
many times was it all? Right? This has weight because
Gus Johnson's there, And that's one thing you have in
both the Fox and CBS boots for those afternoon or
you know, early games depending on the window, you know
that they're calling them in. But if you see Buck
(38:24):
and Ache been on a game, it has weight. If
you see Nance and Ache and Romo on a game,
it has weight. Right, they got aside. You know there's
something at stake, whether it be a player at coach
or just the standings. You know at at a its
base that there's something more going onto those games. And look,
it's good for the business, right if if guys are
(38:44):
gonna get paid that much that kind of cash. It
shows that still having an opinion, having the ability to
analyze uh and push the narrative forward still has value.
And for guys like you and I sitting behind the microphone,
go get it, Romo. I mean I get extra five
dollars in a sandwich, Jason. We like what you're doing.
We're gonna give you one extra sandwich per week, hey,
(39:06):
Salt over the course of a year. I mean, depending
what kind of sandwich. Because if you're talking about, you know,
a large at any of our sandwich shops here in
Los Angeles, that's twenty bucks a week. That's not a ton,
but it's a thousand dollars. So we give Mr Kramer
seven million dollars in a lifetime supply of coffee. Al Right, great,
what if they added free parking at the Cheesecake Factor. Hey,
(39:29):
by free parking you mean a weekly. I don't want
free park I want my own spot, so I guarantee
nobody's gonna be in there. We're not good. Yeah, no,
no no. When I pull in, I want there to
be nothing else there. I want to be okay, boom,
that's my spot right there, And see that waiting for
Jason with a couple of hearts. Romantic things on there, sandwiches,
(39:50):
my spot, my spot, not parking pass on my own spot.
Be careful that it's doesn't start bouncing. You'll have some problems.
It's like, you know, I feel like it's you know,
it's like Brian Goss, like trying to explain to Emma
Stone and crazy stupid love. Oh yeah, all the girls
come back here and do the Patrick swayzey move. That's,
that's and that. Then they're in. Then they want to
have sex with me. That's the way you could dance.
(40:10):
If only I could pick up a woman like Patrick
Swayze did, start to start working on those lats. Smith,
come on,
