So before we get to John Morant, how about this
that According to Dove climb in Brobible at New York Post,
other outlets have picked this up, Philip Rivers is looking
for an invitation out of retirement. He has already expressed
desire to return to the NFL after contacting the forty
nine Ers and Dolphins about a possible comeback late in
(00:42):
last season when both of them had quarterback injuries. This
is Philip Rivers. This should have been the greatest comeback ever.
Are you kidding? Dude? What was he going to throw
lefty under? He couldn't throw at the end. He comes,
he's had a couple of years off, he's away from
the training staff, away from Indianapolis. I mean, unless he's
(01:05):
been lifting his kids a lot, and there's a lot
of kids, so maybe you know the tour lameroom could
be there, but otherwise I don't know. I was very
excited when I saw this. Would it be a fun
story for to see Philip Rivers back in the end?
He better? Is he better right now than some of
these guys that are gonna hit free agent? Forget about
Jordan Love. If Philip Rivers was in this draft, where
(01:27):
would he where? Where would he recomfend? Uh? You know, look,
Rivers is fun, He's a great story. But he was done,
and he was done. I mean clearly he was less
done than the next two guys who followed him in Indianapolis.
He was less done than Matt Ryan and Carson. Carson
was going to be yet, so Sto was still that stole.
(01:47):
That's not happening, all right, it's not happening. If it do,
it's but it's not happening. It's not all right. It
just it just isn't. I think you're gonna if I
keep saying, oh, just just stop, because it's going to
send that photoshop that captain it's a you know, oh,
it's enough that you and Frostburg luckily's offs and I'd
kick his ass tonight. You guys keep sending me these
these photoshops of Carson Wentz in a Jets jersey, which
(02:09):
is bad enough, but now you send the ones where
he's got the Captain sea on it. How dare you
send me a Carson Wentz with it? That's how I
know what he's gonna happen. You talked about me. Really,
That's how I know you're sending me something fake. You
gotta see on Carson Wentz's jersey. Come on, man, the
only see for Carson Wentz if he goes into a
restaurant that's got a bad grade. But I put that
(02:30):
sea out on the actually it come, it would be
the give up signature, because you just have a big sea.
Not keep sending me Carson Wentz is a jet. Actually,
the leadership and Captain c is kind of one of
the more laughable things, because what do you keep hearing about?
Carson Wade's got nobody likes, He's got no leaders nobody likes.
Stop sending me the Carson Wentz gifts of him in
(02:54):
a jet. Start Stop it still happen though, Stop No? Okay? Yeah,
and I could be the short stop of the Mets
this year, but it's probably not gonna happen. Now, what
would you do if there was a shift like situation.
I don't know, you know how I know it's not
gonna happen. He's I know it's not gonna happen because
today we took our dog for starting. You can walk
him around the block now, it's because he's got his shots.
(03:15):
And we got about, I don't know, forty yards from
the house and I said, hey, you want to run?
And he wanted. And he's a tiny dog. He's a
multi guy, right, he's a time. No. We started to run.
I thought, I'm okay, John because he's a multipoop. But
he was going faster and I and I jogged for
forty yards and I stopped and I was like, oh,
I stop right here. That's sense. That's it, that's sense.
What do you think that's just right? What do you
(03:37):
think he didn't right? That's it? I don't know, because
look when when I you know, the car, I do.
I do a lot of walking. I'll do fast walking,
but running, no, I don't run anymore. I never I
never liked running. I ran playing sports, but I never
liked running. And I realized after that run, and the
dog looks up at me like, dude, I'm like, I'm
like twelve inches long, and I got I got feet
that looked like rabbits feet, and I'm out running you
(03:58):
like this, and I'm like yeah, because right here, I'm
gonna stop right here. It's all good right here, all
my all my dreams are done. Now. I can't even
be a baseball player. Can't do it. It was bad.
It was like I had a bad first step. It
was bad, man much bad. But even the running, I
could feel, maybe maybe it's time to change up what
you're doing for quote unquote Cardie No. But even the running,
I felt like, boy, I'm kind of disjointed, like yeah,
(04:19):
you know, and like the bean like Peyton Manning running.
You know, you only get a movie when someone builds
a robot and the first time it runs, it's kind
of disjointed. That That's kind of how I felt like
I was running. I used to be smooth, used to
more of those massages. Smooth, Yeah, yeah, I do, yeah,
especially after running. Imagine you've just run ten feet. I
ran like forty guys Like, okay, I'm kind of I'm
(04:41):
kind of done. You You're good, right, You're good, Benny,
You're good, Okay, So you know, I'm worried about Benny
was good. No, it was just no, wasn't It was
just it wasn't that I was that out of breath.
It was that I was I was finished. I'm like, yeah,
no more running. Yeah, but this is what happens when
the people start shoveling snow that they haven't done in
a couple of years. That's why I don't. Okay, And
then you know, we get into a mister Plow kind
of I don't trouble snow anymore. Doesn't the inevitable heart
(05:04):
attacks then doesn't happen. Call mister Plow. I'll call somebody.
Mister Plow is a loser and I think he is
stat nicely done. But yeah, Stow King, Hey hoemerlow king. Uh.
Jason Smith showed Mike Carmon live from the tirock dot
(05:26):
com studios. So the latest on John Morant. Colorado police
are now investigating John Morant in the instance from this
past weekend in which he was brandishing a gun when
he was at a late night club five thirty local
time in the morning after their game Friday night, and
he was shown on social media with the gun. This
(05:48):
on the heels of the report that he beat up
a seventeen year old kid, hid him repeatedly during a
pickup basketball game, and showed him a gun there, which
is on the heels of the report that he at
a mall with him and the people he's hanging out
with push the security guard and got into a back
and forth, which is on the heels of the report
that he and some of his other people hanging around
(06:09):
him got into a thing at the Pacers game with
Pacers employees with laser pointers. So this is then the
skirmish on the court with the very well attired Oh yeah, yes, yes,
that's Shannon Sharp and John Morant's dad. And now this
is the fourth time that we've seen something. And finally
the Grizzly said over the weekend he will be spending
(06:31):
the next few games away from the team. Didn't say
he was suspended, just said he's gonna be away from
the team for the next two days. And so they
said he was going to be away mental health and
getting himself right and all that stuff, and today he
said that. Today it was it was said that there
is no timetable yet for his return to the Grizzlies roster.
And the one thing I'll tell you before before I
(06:54):
tell you what he needs to be told, is that
you hear almost to a person any time John Morant's
name has come up in the last few days, and
it's people saying, hey, dude, you need to do this,
you need to It's it's been very positive towards let's
save this guy's career instead of saying, oh, look at you.
You know you're not a good guy and you should
(07:14):
be out of the league. And you have heard everybody
just say, hey, man, you're young, you make mistakes, do
something about it. And the thing that he needs to
be told, and this is the message that he needs
to have because I'm not I'm not up for the whole. Hey,
you surround yourself with bad p butt. No, you're You're
old enough to make your own decisions. Now. You're the
guy that was accused of punching that kid. You're the
(07:34):
one that pulled out the right, You're the one that
pulled out the gun. You're the one that punched the kid.
So you got to take responsibility for your for your
own actions now. And this is what I would tell them.
I would say, listen, because you know me, I give
it the pr advice I give to people. That would
be what I would do for a living if I
wasn't doing this, And I would say, Okay, here's the thing,
and here here's here's what can't be what can't be
(07:54):
shaken out. You have ruined your reputation. You've ruined it.
You went from few your MVP face of the league,
you are going to get everything, to now your reputation
is gone. Good luck with endorsements, good luck with a
lot of things. He's gonna shoe coming out on April Fools?
But does he really? But does he really? Now? Does
he have coming out? Not yet? Still? Still yet? Ye?
(08:18):
That note? They don't need to say it yet, just
need you know, I gotta wait. He doesn't need to
say I can do with all those shoes, that's gonna
be a lot of shoes, right, Like how many would
there be more of those if they got discontinued or
more easies that they're going to burn up? Yeah, well
there'll be more. Well they're not going to burn the
JOm Rans, They're gonna burn the easy And so I
would tell him, listen, you've done that, and there's nothing
that can be undone to there you have. You have
(08:40):
a really bad reputation and it's gonna take you years
to remake it. Sorry, but this is what you've done
because you decided to act this way. And now you
have two choices. You can suck it up right because
it's what you gotta do. You can suck it up
right now, and you can make better decisions. Be patient,
(09:01):
stay in the NBA, continue on that path, continue being
a great player, and in a few years, hopefully it
will fade and it will be just hey, I made
mistakes when I was a kid. Get out in front
of it and show that, Hey, I want to live
my life a certain way. That's your true You can
do that, or you can keep doing what you're doing
and get kicked out of the NBA and then go
do whatever you want to do, and then you're gonna
(09:22):
you're gonna have your gun, and you're gonna have your
situations and you're and you're gonna wind up with a
bad future. Right you right now have everything you could
possibly want, and you can either work hard to keep
what you have left of it and get it back,
or you could just keep doing what you're doing and
say blank this, I do whatever I want to do,
and then you're gonna wind up not being even being
in the NBA, and it's gonna be well, he's gonna
(09:43):
play overseas. He's gonna have to go. Here's that because
that's the path he is on, and that's the decision
he has to make right now. I said it last week.
If you told me he's even a better chance of
winning MVP or being out of the league in five years,
I would say that's a toss up, man. And it's
when I came into the lead year guy. He was
gonna be the face of the league, MVP, all of
these things. This is the moment that he decides what
(10:04):
he wants his life to be and he's got to
make this decision right now. Well, but the other part
is screwed just being out of the league. You're playing
with fire at this point in terms of your life,
right That's the larger thing that that goes on, beyond
the millions and beyond you know, being able to do
what he does and getting us excited about the Grizzlies
(10:26):
and his game and all the preseason predictions, prognostications and
the highlight reels. It's just a real are you okay?
What the hell, man is like the opener, talk to me,
what's going on? And why? Like is this just recent, right,
because there's a couple of months that encapsulate going back
(10:47):
to the the the summer months. But is there other
stuff that just didn't come out because he wasn't as publicized, right,
there wasn't one of the phases of the league, whatever else.
It's to figure out where were that that's switched. And
I know some are are quick to blame his dad,
and I mean he's got you know, at least from
(11:09):
some of what you've heard that he's tried to talk
to him and tried to counsel as best he can.
So I mean, I can't pretend to know their relationship
in that regard, but clearly something's off. Either he's the
characters that some alleged they were trying to play on
the court, the Grizzlies, and the attitude and everything else
(11:31):
has gone into real life or that was always there
and it just now is rearing its head in a
huge way. Either way, the intervention needs to happen. The
Grizzlies are one of the feel goods, or were anyway
up until a couple of weeks ago. And now the
Washington Post and all these other reports like you're you're
fearing for the guy on a number of levels, and
(11:53):
that he doesn't do something stupid. Right, it exists as
is dumb. Yeah right, but we're talking about next level
stuff because we're watching the progression. Yeah. Look, he this
is the biggest decision he's got to make in his life.
What do you want? What? What? What kind of life
do you want? And you got to decide you're a bit,
You're you're you're you're you're a bit. You're big enough now,
(12:14):
you've been in the league for a while, you're in
your early twenties. You you're independent, you don't have you're
not reliant to anybody for money or anything else. You
can make these decisions. Everybody is quick to the John
Morant Brant And if that means that mentally he needed
a break, he needed a pause, maybe that's the case.
But like how he's acting out in this regard, I mean,
(12:36):
you're you're being reckless Twitter, And how about a fresca.
Mike gets swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carmen the life, biggest decision in his

I gotta got one over there. I gotta gotta arch

he gonna do a shadow man thing where he's got
something that makes him better and we're attractive as a
quarterback when he's quarterbacking in New Orleans. Friends on the
other side, Princess on the front, Keith, David Oh, Keith
David Graha, great villain, Oh, great guy, great villain. Best
(15:11):
Disney movie, hands down, when on myself again, I got something.
But the play of the night is the first interview
with Derek Carr following signing with the Saints. Now this
is big. He was asked, Hey, you know a lot
about being a quarterback. Tell us some of the ingredients
that go into being a quarterback and having successful team.
(15:33):
What are some of those great ingredients? And this was
his answer, fifty exact fifty. All right, Now, I'm gonna
stop this rose with some guarding, hot pepper and green
on y'all. But d downy a way I can get
(15:54):
at him. Nah, I got that right, man warned, I'm
at it in a knife, right chair, shu qun't your
whole don't go all the way through. Knock went turning.
Owen did the same thing, putting him Garlic down in there?
Who got Kayenne Pepper put him down in there too,
(16:18):
Like I said, Kai Pepper on you. I'll tell you
the garlic is Michael Thomas, the Kai and Pepper's Taysom Hill.
You know it's really funny. Onion is me obviously you
and I are running this over there. And when I
went to look for something, and remind myself as the
great jet that took like two minutes to find find
(16:38):
all of the ingredients that we loved so much, and
remember from our child Oh Justin Wilson the Cajun Show,
imagine see what I was running like I remember he
talked a lot about Kayenne Pepper on you on and garlic.
And there's the first thing you found was Kayenne Pepper
on your own and garlic. Well, you gotta start with
the basics and then you built from there. Maybe there
was only one show except using the same ingredients got
(16:59):
a bad way to go. If you can get paid
for it for twenty years plus. All right, so let's
get to some big time predictions for tomorrow. Franchise tags
are due tomorrow, Yeah, Daniel Jones, what happens they come
to a deal? Yeah yeah, I'm gonna say he's franchised,
and I'll give you a Bowl prediction. He becomes one
of the few players to actually play under the franchise
(17:19):
tag for the whole season. We've only had four guys
do it in the last twenty years, and two of
them were Kirk cuss. I really thought the running back
was going to be the next to get franchise tag
like his counterparts today because it's only ten million. But
that's what I mean. It's easy, that easy. But if
he wants over forty minute, he wants over forty million
dollars like Derek corn I got Dade Oh knock, He's
run around out of money price of playing poker. Let's go,
(17:43):
how are they gonna sign a wide receiver to come in? Well,
you got rid of Galla day, I gotta go get
somebody else coming in. Maybe Corey Davis after he gets released,
get some guys coming in. Lamar Jackson. What happens tomorrow? Tag?
He gets tagged, but he doesn't get the not exclusive tag.
(18:04):
He gets tagged yea, and they try to figure it
and then they trade him if they need to and
they get a better deal. All right, Aaron Rodgers? Do
we get Aaron Rodgers news tomorrow? More rumor, conjecture, speculation,
but no decision. He's gonna hold people hosting John this
as long as he can. I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna say,
no appearance tomorrow on Pat McAfee. It's two. We still
(18:25):
have a little bit of ways to go to free agency.
No news. He's an agitator. He'll show up. You think
he's gonna say. I'm gonna say, he may comment. He
may Oh no, there's potentially he's agitator or whatever. That
game is the human Uh what was that twittering out
(18:46):
about a fresca? Mike and Swollen Dolver Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harman. Come up next, my
buddy Ben mall Or. You are listening to Fox Sports
Radio from the tirect dot Com Studios. Jets Yo, but
