should be. I'm an ass man. Uh well, let me
(00:34):
just say before we get into into our big topic
involving the Yankees. So we were talking about the Madden
movie that they're gonna make about the rise of the
video game and Will Ferrell in theory is going to
play John Madden. That story got out there earlier today
and you said, oh, you had some biats against Madden
the gaber Okay, I'll tell you no, no, no, what I
(00:55):
what I was saying, because you relate it back to
social network and trying to create a film in that
genre where it's behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But here's the characters, here's the tension. Here's all of
these things, the eventual lawsuits and creating a villain, and
in Madden, yes, if you work there, I'm sure there
are plenty of villains to be had. But in terms
of the general populous, there's not been a backlash to
the Madden game, except when they do those Challenger and
(01:25):
Christmas surveys of time lost and productivity loss to people
playing the game upon its annual release.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Ask me the last time I played Madden. When was
the last time you played Mad nineteen ninety five? Ask
me why can we play Glory Days in the back?
You ask me why the last time I played Mad night?
Because Madden screwed me and I Mad played the game again. Yes,
not someone you were playing, not the Hey, I no, no,
(01:54):
If I'm playing somebody else, it doesn't matter. No. No, Listen.
My roommate in college we played Blake Steal like nine
thousand times until he played until I could beat him,
and then when I beat him once, he didn't want
to play anymore. I'm like, really, now he don't play anymore,
I don't play anymore. He was the nicest guy in
the world too, But once I beat him once, he
can beat me all the time. I'm learning how to
play in the game, learning how to play the game
wired oh Steel, we find a bit. Never didn't want
(02:16):
to play anymore. I'm playing the season in mad and
I had Madden ninety four, okay, and I'm trying to
win the Super Bowl with the Jets, which come on,
I mean really big baseball. Yeah. So the thing is
is that the Jets were really limited right in nineteen
ninety four, and the only thing I really had an
(02:39):
offense was Johnny Johnson, the running back. But I had
a play where if I get just want oh, Johnny
Johnson was great. Johnny Johnson was great. Uh, he he was.
He was a guy that There were two plays I
did running the football where he would gain at least
four yards on the play. I ran an inside run
(02:59):
to the left and an inside run to the right.
And that's how would move the football. Every drive I
had in Madden was like nineteen plays, because that was
all the plays were. Once in a while, I'd throw it,
but then I wouldn't, but Johnny Johnson would all he
was it. He ran for like three thousand yards that year.
For me, who's your backup quarter? I get all the way,
I never got to my backup quarterback. I get all
the way to the super Bowl. Yeah, okay, and I'm
(03:23):
playing Washington and I'm playing the Redskins, and it's close. Right,
I've gone through this whole season over the course of
a couple of weeks, and this is great. This is great.
I'm gonna win the Super Bowl with the Jets. Right,
I'm down by one. It's seventeen sixteen right with and
it's the last possession of the game. Good zone efficiency.
(03:44):
I have the football and I'm driving down the field
with Johnny Johnson left right, left, right, left right, and
I need maybe two or three more plays. There's like
a less than a minute left. I need two or
three more plays and then I'm kicking a field goal
and I'm gonna win the Super Bowl. Right, I remember
the score of the game, So you're gonna get Nick
Lowry out. I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win, right, I'm
gonna win. I'm like, great, I got it. I'm gonna
(04:06):
win again. I needed three more plays. I ran a play, great,
I said two more and I'll be ready to I'll
be inside the thirty yard and I kick the field
goal and I give it to Johnny Johnson. He goes
in on his big run of the left and he
fumbles and the ball bounce in the air and I
hear fumble and I go, you blake, and he like,
are you kidding me? He fumbles the Redskins and then
(04:27):
Redskins recover, they kill the clock, and I lose a
Super Bowl, and I'm like, you have got to be.
He hadn't fumbled all season, lot to be, and you
gave me a fumble in the final two set, final
thirty five seconds of the Super Bowl. Never played. I'm done.
I had to keep you coming back for more. No.
The other thing is that Johnson on the year, had
(04:48):
more fumbles lost than touchdowns. Son doesn't matter, doesn't matter
game in that statistically, it had to happen. He was
the number one running back in all of Madden Fantasy history.
He had, like I guess, he had like fifty five
carries a game, didn't fumble once. But now now I
get to the Super Bowl, I'm gonna win and the
game gives me a fumble. Well, you know what, he
(05:09):
was due. I was not due. Come on, Man's radio,
He's not He's everywhere. Come on, that's the champion. Move
right there, he was due. You got to put in
the game where hey, if the dude gets this far
with the Jets, let him win. Come on, man, it's
the Jets. It's not like he's the Jets. Are you
ever gonna play it again? You might not. Yeah, I
(05:30):
might be doing it with the Jets. You might retire
that cartrige. I put it up on my wall and
I frame it. That's it. Super Bowl. I actually won
using the Jets. Jets nineteen Washington sixty, using morel Anderson,
Baxter and Johnsons as your side. I think I maybe
(05:54):
threw like he used to be, like the old UH
Oklahoma offense in the eighties. They were there like three
passes a game. That's what I had. Boom or do
just give it to Johnny Johnson. Man, we're gonna get
down there. Let's give it to Johnny Johnson. He'd get
him down there and I get field goals And it
was stunning study. I was so mad. I said, I'm done.
I'm not playing this game again. I invested so much
into that, I'm not doing it. I'm not the last
time I played it last. Now, maybe once in a while,
(06:16):
did I see people playing it at a party or something,
and I sat down for a second looked at it,
but I never went and played it like I'm gonna
play it. Never did it again.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's been a long time I played any of that
really pissed me off, Like the girls and some of
the games. We have a Wii that we play some
of the tennis and golf and whatever, but I haven't
played Madden in forever. It's been a minute, but certainly
not to that level of derision and angst. So now
you want to hate watch this movie. No Jerks cost
(06:45):
the Jets of Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
They put Johnny Johnson. Okay, okay, all right. I've never
told this story before. I've never told this story. I
really want to get to Aaron Boone, but I want
to tell this story. You know, Aaron Boone can wait
because it's not getting it because this is this is
one of my favorite ESPN stories of all time. This
is my favorite all time. So now this is back
when I was production assistant at ESPN, and and I
(07:09):
was working on Primetime, right, which is the big show
for the longest time before you got ejected, Yes, yes,
so this is when. So I'm working on primetime. And
you know Berman had nicknames for Chris Berman what I
do the bit all the time in the show. And
he sometimes would call the guy. If the guy like
like Johnny Mitchell, he would call him Johnny's Mitchell, right,
(07:30):
that was what he would do for nicknames. He would
say like like Drew's bled cell. Like he would just
say it. It was just a thing to say. He would
say Johnny's Mitchell. I don't know why, but certain names
he would do that. He would give the first name
a plural and then say the person's last name. I
don't know why, but it was a thing he did. So,
so he goes on in the air once and he's
doing the highlight for that, and I want to say
(07:52):
it's it was the Jets, how much I remember. I
want to say it was a Jets Redskins game. The
Jets won three nothing in in December of like ninety four,
ninety five something like that, where the Redskins had a
field goal and the holder wasn't looking back for it
and they snapped it h his head. So it was that.
So I think it was that game, and Berman's doing
(08:12):
the whole thing, and I'm on the headset listening in, uh,
because I'm working in the tape room, and so Burman's
doing his nicknames, his nicknames. And then Johnny Johnson has
a big carry and he calls him. He did not
Johnny's Johnson, right, he says that, and and it's like, oh,
and everybody is in. He goes like, oh, and I
think he realized right away what he said. Well, he
(08:33):
basically stole nick Foles nickname. Yeah, he was like, oh boy,
and everybody's quiet, right. All of a sudden, I hear
the coordinating producer who is in the back of the
back of the control room, and he yells out, what
the hell was that? And the producer loved the guy
to death. Awesome, one nicest guys where I'd love working
for him. No, no, no, don't dude. I think he's
(08:55):
still I think he's still producing the TNT. He's great, dude. Oh,
he's great, great dude. He tries to just calm everything
down because you know, the show was going on, and
he goes, that's all right, that's all right, it's his nickname.
It's his nickname, like just to say knowing about it, like,
because he does the whole thing that Johnny's Mitchell, and
so every name is his nickname, and we were like, Okay,
I guess that's it, and then the quartering proucer screams
(09:17):
from the back yells, it's not as Blake and nickname.
Don't tell me that.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's a terrible I mean, it's a terrible secret names.
Even before you get to Johnny's Johnson. Yeah, it was
a man.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It was Mitchell. He would just it was he would. Yeah, No,
he would, you know, he would, you know, he would
you know, Troy Troy's achman. You know, I mean, he
would just say that. But then he picked the wrong
name to say that. And I remember the seat yelling
at the MEGA that's not as Baking that name. Don't
tell me.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
My goodness, I can't believe this is the Chris Parnell
character and anchorman.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
That was.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That was woo. That was insane. That was an insane moment.
I'd said, that's that's the Johnny Johnson story. I have
Johnny Johnson, look at that. There's a there's a great
story from a running back. He hasn't played the NFL
in twenty some audience. Johnny, I am so glad retro
was popular because I can't imagine like doing sports talk
radio in the nineties and bringing up a story from
(10:25):
like the early seventies of people going, oh, yeah, I
remember that, Yeah, I got that shot. Legitimately, you could
now now whatever happened to Johnny Johns Woo Johnny he
played another couple of years, I think, and then, uh,
he made the Pro Bowl with the Jets. I want
to say once I want to say he did. I'm
not positive, but I want to say I think, yeah,
he's a Pro Bowl ninety when he was on the
(10:46):
All Rookie team. Okay, all right, they go, yeah, I
want to say he was pretty good. Sure, went on
to play.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Uh he was started with Phoenix, Yeah, ended with the Jets,
and then was a practice squad player for the forty
nine ers.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay before he hung them up. Well back when they
were the Phoenix Cardinals, Phoenix exact. We want to just
expand that be about the entire state. He was preceded
by Brad Baxter and Blair Thomas. Brad, why do you
bring up Blair Thomas's name. Brad Baxter was funny, would
score touchdowns by Blair Thomas. You can't. I still think
of the Capposo game.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I can't do it. I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
H head coach Claude Gilbert had claimed that Johnny Johnson
had skipped to practice to attend Game three of the
eighty nine World Series. So that's pretty good to skip.
I'm gonna miss practice today. Why uh, doctor's appointment? Yeah right,
right right, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The eighty nine that was the resumption of the World
Series right after the earthquake. Yeah. Wow. So he was
on San Jose State at the time. It's a pretty
big game to want to go to. I mean, that's
a pretty historical game.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And then they, uh, they dropped him from the program
because well, he lied, and that's why the Phoenix cart.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Look who's at the game.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He is waving everybody, yes, helping pick up after the earthquake.
So he ended up going one hundred and sixty ninth
to the Phoenix Cardinals. And that's one to grow on

And why again, man, why I'm kind of anti Matt.
I still hold a grudge on that. It's and now
that's like twenty eight years in counting. You know what
I think, I think I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I'm gonna work to this for our holiday holiday holiday
spectacular is to go and get us a system whereby
we could play nineteen ninety five Madden and let you
recreate that and we'll.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Come up with create that moment.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, but we'll come up with better nicknames than that
crab that Berman was. Look Johnny Johnson again, look what happened?
I'm gonna put it in for a fumble in the
final thirty seconds could be what if that's the glitch
that's there? I can still see if Jets were to
make a playoff in Super Bowl run with you at
the helm, dude, I can still see him running in
(12:58):
and the spinning of him and the ball bouncing in
the air, fumbling.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
No what I could still see. There's an obvious joke there,
but I can still see it. Friday Flip, I'm like,
you gotta be kidding me Twitter, and how about a
fresco Mike get swollen down The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Carment. I think you're right that
Johnny Johnson story was probably better than one hundred. Oh yeah,
Johnny's that's his nick. That's not it's not as like
(13:21):
it that And.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
We did a whole thing on Johnny Johnson, really didn't
talk about the Jets per se, and we avoided fifteen
minutes of Mets talk the victory harmony.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Well, hey, by the way, just in case you know,
right now, Mets up five two in the ninth inning
against the Colorado Rockies, So we'll have more on that.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Jason goes through the green way too fast, j Coole,
because got a Jets collar to it.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Do you did the pine green? Or are we doing that? Like?
Are we trying to do the what? What is Jets green?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Kelly Green?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Kelly Green, Kelly Green, Kelly Green.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Se we learned something new today?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Everybody works. Everybody works. Uh so so hey, j Cole,
I wanted to we were talking about this tonight, Uh
to give you a real football topic to slide into
before we get into cowboy bes and all kinds of
other stuff. So you DeAndre Hopkins is out there, you know,
it's a big headline DeAndre Hopkins, but it's been two years,
three years since he really was a difference maker on
(16:43):
the field. He's had injuries, he's had a suspension. Is
he still DeAndre Hopkins? Because everybody's going crazy he wanted
to get this guy?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Well are they go crazy to get him if you're
a fan because you picked him a Fantasy football in
the first three rounds in each of the last three years,
assuming he was going to be beyondre Hopkins, So yeah,
you still think he's good. This is about help. He
(17:11):
was never a speed guy. You know, he was a
I'm going to overwhelm you physically, and with guys like that,
you think they have a chance to get it back,
and so you wonder if there's a chance for a renaissance.
But a lot of it has to do with where's
he going to be, where's his knee and is it
(17:35):
in good shape? Yeah, Like there's a lot of physical
questions and that's why people are not giving up draft
picks for him because they don't know what kind of
condition he's in and they don't want to go through that.
They're willing to like let him be on the market.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
So the Raiders are still the Raiders. Just when you
thought they were turning a new leap by getting rid
of Derek Carr. The quarterback they bring in has to
have foot surgery, and the wide receiver says, I hate
all of you. You don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I love That's that's that's usually a healthy combination for
a team. I'm kind of wondering at this point, is
Jimmy Garoppolo made of onion skin paper that has been
dipped in liquid nitrogen?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Did you just watch the Food Network and did Richard
Blaze try to do that? And and you decided I
got to bring this out there?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, this, and and and when you like just touch it,
it breaks in like glass.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, he's watching Baking Championships again.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Right, That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It says, I'm gonna bring out my mellet.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
This is like sugar that has been crystallized with you know,
with one of those brulaying flames or something like that.
That's that's Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's what I'm getting every money for Christmas. By the way,
little flamethrowers siny blue flavor, Well, look at that. That's
that's really good. Bubble on the top of that crembrewlet
that looks really nice at the top. You gotta hydrid presentation.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
By the way, people do a lot of comparisons and
and try to do a lot of analogies that there
might be none finer than that right there?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
What do you have me on for?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That's that was?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
This is the kind of scientific analysis that I will
give you comparing Tommy Garoppolo's foot to crem breule.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So the glassy sugar top brought to you by Jason Cole.
Just an interview with Michael Simon and now he's on
with us. That's really nice.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Simon is such a cool guy, like he actually like
he will exchange text messages if you're asking for recommendations
on restaurants, like that is how cool Michael's is. He
is the nicest guy on the Food Network.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
So you so you stalked him, got his phone number,
and now you text him.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
He recommended taking cow in New York one time when
we were when we were going up for a trip
and it was awesome. Like I can just tell you that, all.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Right, you tell him next time. I can't get past
his laugh for a guy who lasts away, I do, But.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Every last laugh. But the best part of Michael Simon
is the way that he gets under Bobby Flay's skin,
like that, like the way that he terrorizes Bobby Flay
like no other human being in the entire world can
terrorize Bobby Flay like Bobby Flay is completely and totally
(20:44):
flummixed whenever Michael Simon tries to take him on. It's
sort of like anybody taking on a Jets coach.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Or or like the way TJ Watt attacks quarterbacks. TJ.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
It's please stop now. Let's know, Berman, you cannot try
and divert this conversation.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I just told a great Berman story like ten minutes
ago that I wish you around for Man, it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I don't want to just don't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I don't want your ban talk right, So instead of that, Hey, hey,
who's taking harder the Cardinals or the reasons?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Lord, this is great. I do like Adam, and I
like the fact that Josh McDaniels is forced into defending
Devanta Adams ripping the entire.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Organna say I'm the new guy on the block and
I've got to defend me and the organization aren't on
the same page. I love that quote. That was the best.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Right and Josh McDaniels having to say he's earned the
right to say every anything that he wants to say. Really, Josh,
that's how you feel. That's really how you feel.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And I think my favorite part was after that, after
that got out, like Davante Adams said, we're not on
the same page, and Josh McDaniel says he's earned the
right to say that. Darren Waller had his press conference
for the first time as a Giant and said, hey,
they respect what we say here. They actually listened to us.
That was the best. Hey, I'm coming over the top
for you. Don't worry about it, Devontae. I got your back.
(22:25):
I got a press scrivers coming about a half hour.
You watch what I say. It's all good.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yeah, we're just hammering Josh McDaniels from both coasts like
this doesn't matter what times on you're in, Josh McDaniels,
you're just getting Hamburg, noquay.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Now let's take it to another squad. They had a
special guest helping them out in the coaching realm, John
Gruden hanging out with the New Orleans Saints. How quickly
is he back on a sideline.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
For a practice.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Just you know, how long is the the ramp up
and entry way that he becomes a coach in some
capacity other than just a technical advisor.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
He's got like he's got a better chance of doing
another Corona app than he does have of being a
NFL head coach.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
You know, I drove past an antique store down by
me in the South Bay here Jacoble, and they had
one of those bobbleheads out, those oversized ones from the
display out for sale. I'll go see if I can
procure that for you.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You can get that curtains never coming back to the sideline.
I mean, the best he's going to hope for is
that get some kind of settlement from the NFL if
he cares, if he follows through on this lawsuit, which
he's going to lose, because what the world has discovered
is all of that stuff was leaked by Dan Snyder.
It was not leaked by Roger Goodell. So the whole
basis of his lawsuit has fallen apart under scrutiny of
(23:54):
you know, journalists from the Washington Post. I mean, he's
he's got no shot. That's just not happening. So again
good luck with maybe a future Corona ad. Maybe you
can like be in the background and say, Tony, I'm
here again. You're like, that's the best you're gonna get.
That's it all right?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Then let's get to the biggest topic of the week.
On a scale of one to ten, if one is
unbelievably incredible and ten is overly unbelievably incredible, how great
are things with the Jets right now that Aaron Rodgers
is running things? How? I mean it's what like fifteen
on a scale of one to ten, twenty twenty five.
It's so great right now.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Right now? Yeah, because you don't have to play in
the games.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The show is tonight, though I can't fast forward.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The show's concerned to you about that cat injury that
limited him.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Stop. He's not concerned at all.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I'm not like, it's all golden right now. The fact
that what I love is the question for Daniel Jones,
can you play second fiddle?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
When was he ever first chair? Like, Sir Daniel, I
don't know, not last year he was.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Quarterback.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Don't get first chair by default. But you don't get that.
It's like, oh yeah, Zach Wilson sucks. It's not all
of a sudden, like, oh, hey, isn't that Daniel Jones
just great? No, he sucks too, he just doesn't suck
as bad as Zach Wilson. Okay, Like that's how that works. Okay,
(25:25):
he's a little bit better than that guy. And Dave
Ball's making them look a little bit better because they're
giving the ball to Kwan more and the quan's actually healthy.
That's how that worked.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So apparently Jason Cole knows Aaron Rodgers is the king
of New York. Look at me, I'm the king and
New York. Well, what's your favorite song? Off?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Ta? Sure? I mean you know, like this is this
is not exactly a high bar. Actually, who is the
most important athlete in New York right now? Is it
Pete Alonzo? Is it Garrett Cole?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, it's still Aaron Rodgers. He's still the most And Jalen.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Brunson, I'm saying, or is it it's Judge? Isn't it?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
No, it's still Aaron Rodgers. It's still Aaron Rodgers. It
doesn't matter. He's not even on the metals. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Not in the medals dead? Every other conversations about Aaron Rodgers. Stop,
he's at stop. But I'll give you Peter a Lonzo
number two.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I'll give you that pe Alonzo, like the Polar Bear.
Polar Bear is pretty cool. I gotta say that. When
you can hit like that, Aaron Judge, pretty cool. When
you can hit like that. You know, the Rogers guy,
he's got something to prove here. You know, it's not
just you walking in going hey.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Rob guys.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
You know you can't just do that and expect that,
like Rogers climbs the number one, like it's not all
about you Smith and your feelings about the Jets. No,
he actually has to win a game.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
No, he comes in at number one. He comes It's
like Jerry maguire when Cush was either going to ski
it didn't matter.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
You can't walk into New York without having played a
down or doing something and being number one. You actually
have to you know. Like, but this is like saying
that Ed Whitson was number one at one point in time.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
That has happened. Now. There is something to the fact
that coming to New York.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
That comparing Ed Witton to Aaron Rodgers and doing the
greatest things I have ever done in my life, that
was really well done.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You should lose your Pro Football Hall of Fame vote for.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Just for that, Yeah, in perpetuity. As a matter of
Jim Porter.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Should call you up and go, hey, did I hear
you on the radio that you compared ed witson to
Aaron Rodgers. What the hell is wrong?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Well, he's not worried. He's not worried about Rogers for
another five years minimum, So he should worry about whether
he's going to be keeping his job. That's what he
should be worried about.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But Jim Porter calling for Jim Porter's ouster, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'll lead that. I'll leave that to your interpretation.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Escalated quickly. You know, President of the Pro Football Hall
of Fame Jason Cole had this to say, following a
coup in which he overthrew the president.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
That's a great idea. I should do that. I should
just take over the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Well
do I have to live in never mind? I don't
want to say that.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh listen, you already owned the Hall of very good
all the people you've been putting in the last few years,
So you're fine with that.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
God, I hate you with all.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
The mini busts. They don't get.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Fas I hate you. Yeah. The blue ribbon panel of
forty thousand people we put in two years ago. That
was classic.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah. I just want the video to leak. You screaming
and people. These guys are just good. They're not all affairs. Jason, Jason,
contain yourself. I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Just stop it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So George Pickens Hall of Famer, Like, is he go
in this year or what? Corey Davis Pickens, Corey Davis
Hall of Famer this year? You have to wait. You
have to wait till he ends.
Speaker 4 (29:02):

It's like, yeah, we're going down a nice street highway
and then whoa, somebody jerked the wheels.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Somebody knew it could be heading up the Hall of Fame.
Now that's what you call it. Tea over the Hall
of Fame. I'll let that out there for you to
be decided. What is happening in Canton? What's going on?
We gotta find some sourcing on that. Oh, we gotta
find out what's trending right now in the wide world
of sports, because the big game of the night is
now in the books. The Mets and the Rockies are done.

USFL games this Saturday and Sunday Fox TV as Birmingham

Block finished dead last shots eighty one yesterday seventy four.
Today he was in one hundred and twentieth place at

he'll be playing the Canadian Open. He can probably feel
a little better because Jordan Speith also missed the cut
at four over par, Harry Hall still leads by three.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Back to you, Thanks a Buch Steve on The Jason
Smith Show with ma My best friend Mike Harmon. Coming
up next, the most out of control sports personality on
the planet the last week. We get to that next
here on Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My base
Friend Mike Harmon. Never heard of him On a live
drop Friday, they drafted who I Ain't paying for that.
One thing we did not see tonight in the world
of sports was Aaron Boone managing the Yankees. Why Aaron
Boone serving a one game suspension for his repeated ejections
(34:44):
this season in Major League Baseball. He was thrown out
the other night three times in the last ten games.
He's been ejected four times this season. Now, just Bud
is a guy. He just got ejected, got arrested. Whoa
WHOA whoa, No, you gotta get to like twenty rejections.
I think for that now he's someone who always gets
his money's worth, is always at the top of the
(35:05):
list of umpire ejections. But now he gets suspended for
a game. And when he was asked about he gave
a real curious answer as to whether or not, Hey,
are your ejections hurting the Yankees? Because are the umpires
really giving you a fair shake knowing that you're liable
to come out and scream at them at any moment.
And here's what Aaron Boone had to say about that today.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Well, I think I've earned that reputation. Do I think
it's leading to a quick cook? Not necessarily. I think
last night was, But that could just be a one off.
Maybe I'm delusional and that I did more than I think.
I don't think that's the case. But no, so I no,
I don't think. I don't think I'm being targeted by
(35:48):
umpires going in like they're not going to tolerate certain things.
I think I think I'm treated fairly.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah, but is your team treated fairly? That's the whole
thing is that umpires are here, and no matter what
you say, they go into situations and when they know
this guy has this reputation, he's come out. He's yelled
at me before he yells for ridiculous stuff that doesn't matter.
I'm sorry. There's certain things, however, obliquely they bleed into
(36:17):
some decisions that you make. It doesn't mean that you're
calling something all that ball is fair, Well, everybody can
see it was foul. No, it was fair. But are
you gonna get the benefit of the doubt on a
play when you come out, or you're gonna get to yell,
or are they gonna throw you out early? Those things
do affect the team. You know, it's not umpires, aren't
road the robots. Maybe we get the robot humps and
they come out who maybe they might just like just
(36:37):
zap you though, and disintegrate you if you try to argue,
which could be a reason to have that robot um
I mean shortened games. Yeah, well i'd like to see
if if if you could come out argue to a
robot ump, but a robotum can disintegrate you, like that
would be pretty cool. Like I'd like to see that.
I mean not permanent though, but like they disintegrate you
just for the game and then you come back. Okay,
they dehydrate you, like in the nineteen sixty six classic
(36:59):
film Batman. I was thinking what they did to the
world leaders, and I was thinking more like the like
like the like the the blip in in in Avengers,
like all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the
robot umps can just and then you're just all these
little pieces of dust floating in the wind. There why
it's the whole plate umpire wearing a gauntlet. Mister, mister Angelernendez.
(37:19):
I don't want to go, sir, I don't want to
go at all. There he goes, there, he goes.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Just had to take Tom Holland out while you were
at it. There's so that would free up Zendia. It
would in theory, in theory, yes that would.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
It would. I mean, heart goes on and all. But
I mean, but if he's coming back, he's coming back soon.
If maybe you don't know, oh that's true. Yeah, it's
a variable amount of time. Yeah. For the people on
the blip, it seemed like it was instantaneous. But people
not on the blit, I guess I guess that way. Look,
there's no way it doesn't bleed in somehow, there's no way.
It doesn't. Whether it's a short fuse for the manager
(37:56):
or the next anything that is that isn't then either call.
Are they are umpires specifically saying the next fifty to
fifty call is going against him because I can't stand
that guy. No, they're not doing that the front of
their minds, but the back of their minds. If you're
up in a game in which is an umpire, there's
a there's a manager you don't like and a manager
you do like, a routine that stays off you. Yeah,
(38:18):
certain things are gonna be bang bang plays or something
else is gonna be. Is gonna favor that team? There's
gonna be something that happens, not everyone, but once in
a while. Yet, are you gonna get run when when
you should be able to talk more about Yeah, you're
gonna get run earlier that. That's just natural to think
it's not it's naive to think it's not gonna happen.
I'll talk right, It's like all of that, they you know,
(38:38):
the water cooler chatter, the the umpires, the joke of
you know what they call him behind the scenes because
he's out there complaining and anything. The fuse gets shorter
with each passing moment, and he's at a two week
period where he's getting run every every other day, three
times every third kick getting thrown out. That's gonna stay
(39:00):
with you. He's got four on the year.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
I don't know what the record is, go back to
the old Earl Weaver days.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
He's ahead of the he's I know this year he
is ahead of the rate of the all time record,
ahead of the.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Rate, which means maybe they lean into it a little bit.
You come out, you're not getting your money's worth anymore,
nor are you getting your point across.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Like all right here he is, here comes Boon. Hey,
how you guys doing you're going?
Speaker 4 (39:22):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Why didn't It doesn't matter. I'm at me. You looked
at me with great disdain. Maybe he's like a long
in the vengeance. We're in the air of peak TV.
I need to be able to catch up on all
my shows.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
But legitimately it's it becomes a difficult thing where you
start wondering if you're getting hit on the edges for
your pictures, maybe the plate gets a little bigger and
the zone a little higher or lower for your hitters,
and all of that can be quantified, but it's still
why open the door? Yeah, I mean, if it's something egregious,
then go get it. But right now you're at a
(40:00):
point where they're just expecting and you're gonna get dumped immediately.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Twitter at how about a fresco Mike gets swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon Actually,
I actually storted to even back that up from the
last couple of weeks. To back up still, let's go,

Tyrac dot com will help you get there at unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Tyrack dot com the way tire buying
should be. I'm an ass man. Uh well, let me
(00:34):
just say before we get into into our big topic
involving the Yankees. So we were talking about the Madden
movie that they're gonna make about the rise of the
video game and Will Ferrell in theory is going to
play John Madden. That story got out there earlier today
and you said, oh, you had some biats against Madden
the gaber Okay, I'll tell you no, no, no, what I
(00:55):
what I was saying, because you relate it back to
social network and trying to create a film in that
genre where it's behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But here's the characters, here's the tension. Here's all of
these things, the eventual lawsuits and creating a villain, and
in Madden, yes, if you work there, I'm sure there
are plenty of villains to be had. But in terms
of the general populous, there's not been a backlash to
the Madden game, except when they do those Challenger and
(01:25):
Christmas surveys of time lost and productivity loss to people
playing the game upon its annual release.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Ask me the last time I played Madden. When was
the last time you played Mad nineteen ninety five? Ask
me why can we play Glory Days in the back?
You ask me why the last time I played Mad night?
Because Madden screwed me and I Mad played the game again. Yes,
not someone you were playing, not the Hey, I no, no,
(01:54):
If I'm playing somebody else, it doesn't matter. No. No, Listen.
My roommate in college we played Blake Steal like nine
thousand times until he played until I could beat him,
and then when I beat him once, he didn't want
to play anymore. I'm like, really, now he don't play anymore,
I don't play anymore. He was the nicest guy in
the world too, But once I beat him once, he
can beat me all the time. I'm learning how to
play in the game, learning how to play the game
wired oh Steel, we find a bit. Never didn't want
(02:16):
to play anymore. I'm playing the season in mad and
I had Madden ninety four, okay, and I'm trying to
win the Super Bowl with the Jets, which come on,
I mean really big baseball. Yeah. So the thing is
is that the Jets were really limited right in nineteen
ninety four, and the only thing I really had an
(02:39):
offense was Johnny Johnson, the running back. But I had
a play where if I get just want oh, Johnny
Johnson was great. Johnny Johnson was great. Uh, he he was.
He was a guy that There were two plays I
did running the football where he would gain at least
four yards on the play. I ran an inside run
(02:59):
to the left and an inside run to the right.
And that's how would move the football. Every drive I
had in Madden was like nineteen plays, because that was
all the plays were. Once in a while, I'd throw it,
but then I wouldn't, but Johnny Johnson would all he
was it. He ran for like three thousand yards that year.
For me, who's your backup quarter? I get all the way,
I never got to my backup quarterback. I get all
the way to the super Bowl. Yeah, okay, and I'm
(03:23):
playing Washington and I'm playing the Redskins, and it's close. Right,
I've gone through this whole season over the course of
a couple of weeks, and this is great. This is great.
I'm gonna win the Super Bowl with the Jets. Right,
I'm down by one. It's seventeen sixteen right with and
it's the last possession of the game. Good zone efficiency.
(03:44):
I have the football and I'm driving down the field
with Johnny Johnson left right, left, right, left right, and
I need maybe two or three more plays. There's like
a less than a minute left. I need two or
three more plays and then I'm kicking a field goal
and I'm gonna win the Super Bowl. Right, I remember
the score of the game, So you're gonna get Nick
Lowry out. I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win, right, I'm
gonna win. I'm like, great, I got it. I'm gonna
(04:06):
win again. I needed three more plays. I ran a play, great,
I said two more and I'll be ready to I'll
be inside the thirty yard and I kick the field
goal and I give it to Johnny Johnson. He goes
in on his big run of the left and he
fumbles and the ball bounce in the air and I
hear fumble and I go, you blake, and he like,
are you kidding me? He fumbles the Redskins and then
(04:27):
Redskins recover, they kill the clock, and I lose a
Super Bowl, and I'm like, you have got to be.
He hadn't fumbled all season, lot to be, and you
gave me a fumble in the final two set, final
thirty five seconds of the Super Bowl. Never played. I'm done.
I had to keep you coming back for more. No.
The other thing is that Johnson on the year, had
(04:48):
more fumbles lost than touchdowns. Son doesn't matter, doesn't matter
game in that statistically, it had to happen. He was
the number one running back in all of Madden Fantasy history.
He had, like I guess, he had like fifty five
carries a game, didn't fumble once. But now now I
get to the Super Bowl, I'm gonna win and the
game gives me a fumble. Well, you know what, he
(05:09):
was due. I was not due. Come on, Man's radio,
He's not He's everywhere. Come on, that's the champion. Move
right there, he was due. You got to put in
the game where hey, if the dude gets this far
with the Jets, let him win. Come on, man, it's
the Jets. It's not like he's the Jets. Are you
ever gonna play it again? You might not. Yeah, I
(05:30):
might be doing it with the Jets. You might retire
that cartrige. I put it up on my wall and
I frame it. That's it. Super Bowl. I actually won
using the Jets. Jets nineteen Washington sixty, using morel Anderson,
Baxter and Johnsons as your side. I think I maybe
(05:54):
threw like he used to be, like the old UH
Oklahoma offense in the eighties. They were there like three
passes a game. That's what I had. Boom or do
just give it to Johnny Johnson. Man, we're gonna get
down there. Let's give it to Johnny Johnson. He'd get
him down there and I get field goals And it
was stunning study. I was so mad. I said, I'm done.
I'm not playing this game again. I invested so much
into that, I'm not doing it. I'm not the last
time I played it last. Now, maybe once in a while,
(06:16):
did I see people playing it at a party or something,
and I sat down for a second looked at it,
but I never went and played it like I'm gonna
play it. Never did it again.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's been a long time I played any of that
really pissed me off, Like the girls and some of
the games. We have a Wii that we play some
of the tennis and golf and whatever, but I haven't
played Madden in forever. It's been a minute, but certainly
not to that level of derision and angst. So now
you want to hate watch this movie. No Jerks cost
(06:45):
the Jets of Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
They put Johnny Johnson. Okay, okay, all right. I've never
told this story before. I've never told this story. I
really want to get to Aaron Boone, but I want
to tell this story. You know, Aaron Boone can wait
because it's not getting it because this is this is
one of my favorite ESPN stories of all time. This
is my favorite all time. So now this is back
when I was production assistant at ESPN, and and I
(07:09):
was working on Primetime, right, which is the big show
for the longest time before you got ejected, Yes, yes,
so this is when. So I'm working on primetime. And
you know Berman had nicknames for Chris Berman what I
do the bit all the time in the show. And
he sometimes would call the guy. If the guy like
like Johnny Mitchell, he would call him Johnny's Mitchell, right,
(07:30):
that was what he would do for nicknames. He would
say like like Drew's bled cell. Like he would just
say it. It was just a thing to say. He would
say Johnny's Mitchell. I don't know why, but certain names
he would do that. He would give the first name
a plural and then say the person's last name. I
don't know why, but it was a thing he did. So,
so he goes on in the air once and he's
doing the highlight for that, and I want to say
(07:52):
it's it was the Jets, how much I remember. I
want to say it was a Jets Redskins game. The
Jets won three nothing in in December of like ninety four,
ninety five something like that, where the Redskins had a
field goal and the holder wasn't looking back for it
and they snapped it h his head. So it was that.
So I think it was that game, and Berman's doing
(08:12):
the whole thing, and I'm on the headset listening in, uh,
because I'm working in the tape room, and so Burman's
doing his nicknames, his nicknames. And then Johnny Johnson has
a big carry and he calls him. He did not
Johnny's Johnson, right, he says that, and and it's like, oh,
and everybody is in. He goes like, oh, and I
think he realized right away what he said. Well, he
(08:33):
basically stole nick Foles nickname. Yeah, he was like, oh boy,
and everybody's quiet, right. All of a sudden, I hear
the coordinating producer who is in the back of the
back of the control room, and he yells out, what
the hell was that? And the producer loved the guy
to death. Awesome, one nicest guys where I'd love working
for him. No, no, no, don't dude. I think he's
(08:55):
still I think he's still producing the TNT. He's great, dude. Oh,
he's great, great dude. He tries to just calm everything
down because you know, the show was going on, and
he goes, that's all right, that's all right, it's his nickname.
It's his nickname, like just to say knowing about it, like,
because he does the whole thing that Johnny's Mitchell, and
so every name is his nickname, and we were like, Okay,
I guess that's it, and then the quartering proucer screams
(09:17):
from the back yells, it's not as Blake and nickname.
Don't tell me that.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's a terrible I mean, it's a terrible secret names.
Even before you get to Johnny's Johnson. Yeah, it was
a man.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It was Mitchell. He would just it was he would. Yeah, No,
he would, you know, he would, you know, he would
you know, Troy Troy's achman. You know, I mean, he
would just say that. But then he picked the wrong
name to say that. And I remember the seat yelling
at the MEGA that's not as Baking that name. Don't
tell me.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
My goodness, I can't believe this is the Chris Parnell
character and anchorman.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
That was.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That was woo. That was insane. That was an insane moment.
I'd said, that's that's the Johnny Johnson story. I have
Johnny Johnson, look at that. There's a there's a great
story from a running back. He hasn't played the NFL
in twenty some audience. Johnny, I am so glad retro
was popular because I can't imagine like doing sports talk
radio in the nineties and bringing up a story from
(10:25):
like the early seventies of people going, oh, yeah, I
remember that, Yeah, I got that shot. Legitimately, you could
now now whatever happened to Johnny Johns Woo Johnny he
played another couple of years, I think, and then, uh,
he made the Pro Bowl with the Jets. I want
to say once I want to say he did. I'm
not positive, but I want to say I think, yeah,
he's a Pro Bowl ninety when he was on the
(10:46):
All Rookie team. Okay, all right, they go, yeah, I
want to say he was pretty good. Sure, went on
to play.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Uh he was started with Phoenix, Yeah, ended with the Jets,
and then was a practice squad player for the forty
nine ers.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay before he hung them up. Well back when they
were the Phoenix Cardinals, Phoenix exact. We want to just
expand that be about the entire state. He was preceded
by Brad Baxter and Blair Thomas. Brad, why do you
bring up Blair Thomas's name. Brad Baxter was funny, would
score touchdowns by Blair Thomas. You can't. I still think
of the Capposo game.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I can't do it. I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
H head coach Claude Gilbert had claimed that Johnny Johnson
had skipped to practice to attend Game three of the
eighty nine World Series. So that's pretty good to skip.
I'm gonna miss practice today. Why uh, doctor's appointment? Yeah right,
right right, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The eighty nine that was the resumption of the World
Series right after the earthquake. Yeah. Wow. So he was
on San Jose State at the time. It's a pretty
big game to want to go to. I mean, that's
a pretty historical game.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And then they, uh, they dropped him from the program
because well, he lied, and that's why the Phoenix cart.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Look who's at the game.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He is waving everybody, yes, helping pick up after the earthquake.
So he ended up going one hundred and sixty ninth
to the Phoenix Cardinals. And that's one to grow on

I still hold a grudge on that. It's and now
that's like twenty eight years in counting. You know what
I think, I think I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I'm gonna work to this for our holiday holiday holiday
spectacular is to go and get us a system whereby
we could play nineteen ninety five Madden and let you
recreate that and we'll.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Come up with create that moment.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, but we'll come up with better nicknames than that
crab that Berman was. Look Johnny Johnson again, look what happened?
I'm gonna put it in for a fumble in the
final thirty seconds could be what if that's the glitch
that's there? I can still see if Jets were to
make a playoff in Super Bowl run with you at
the helm, dude, I can still see him running in
(12:58):
and the spinning of him and the ball bouncing in
the air, fumbling.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
No what I could still see. There's an obvious joke there,
but I can still see it. Friday Flip, I'm like,
you gotta be kidding me Twitter, and how about a
fresco Mike get swollen down The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Carment. I think you're right that
Johnny Johnson story was probably better than one hundred. Oh yeah,
Johnny's that's his nick. That's not it's not as like
(13:21):
it that And.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
We did a whole thing on Johnny Johnson, really didn't
talk about the Jets per se, and we avoided fifteen
minutes of Mets talk the victory harmony.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Well, hey, by the way, just in case you know,
right now, Mets up five two in the ninth inning
against the Colorado Rockies, So we'll have more on that.

and what's trending coming up in about fifteen minutes. But

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Especially when you get the magenta crayons nicely done.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Jason goes through the green way too fast, j Coole,
because got a Jets collar to it.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Do you did the pine green? Or are we doing that? Like?
Are we trying to do the what? What is Jets green?
What is officially if it was Crayola, what would it
be known as?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Kelly Green?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Kelly Green, Kelly Green, Kelly Green.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Se we learned something new today?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Everybody works. Everybody works. Uh so so hey, j Cole,
I wanted to we were talking about this tonight, Uh
to give you a real football topic to slide into
before we get into cowboy bes and all kinds of
other stuff. So you DeAndre Hopkins is out there, you know,
it's a big headline DeAndre Hopkins, but it's been two years,
three years since he really was a difference maker on
(16:43):
the field. He's had injuries, he's had a suspension. Is
he still DeAndre Hopkins? Because everybody's going crazy he wanted
to get this guy?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Well are they go crazy to get him if you're
a fan because you picked him a Fantasy football in
the first three rounds in each of the last three years,
assuming he was going to be beyondre Hopkins, So yeah,
you still think he's good. This is about help. He
(17:11):
was never a speed guy. You know, he was a
I'm going to overwhelm you physically, and with guys like that,
you think they have a chance to get it back,
and so you wonder if there's a chance for a renaissance.
But a lot of it has to do with where's
he going to be, where's his knee and is it
(17:35):
in good shape? Yeah, Like there's a lot of physical
questions and that's why people are not giving up draft
picks for him because they don't know what kind of
condition he's in and they don't want to go through that.
They're willing to like let him be on the market.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
So the Raiders are still the Raiders. Just when you
thought they were turning a new leap by getting rid
of Derek Carr. The quarterback they bring in has to
have foot surgery, and the wide receiver says, I hate
all of you. You don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I love That's that's that's usually a healthy combination for
a team. I'm kind of wondering at this point, is
Jimmy Garoppolo made of onion skin paper that has been
dipped in liquid nitrogen?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Did you just watch the Food Network and did Richard
Blaze try to do that? And and you decided I
got to bring this out there?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, this, and and and when you like just touch it,
it breaks in like glass.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, he's watching Baking Championships again.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Right, That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It says, I'm gonna bring out my mellet.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
This is like sugar that has been crystallized with you know,
with one of those brulaying flames or something like that.
That's that's Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's what I'm getting every money for Christmas. By the way,
little flamethrowers siny blue flavor, Well, look at that. That's
that's really good. Bubble on the top of that crembrewlet
that looks really nice at the top. You gotta hydrid presentation.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
By the way, people do a lot of comparisons and
and try to do a lot of analogies that there
might be none finer than that right there?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
What do you have me on for?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That's that was?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
This is the kind of scientific analysis that I will
give you comparing Tommy Garoppolo's foot to crem breule.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So the glassy sugar top brought to you by Jason Cole.
Just an interview with Michael Simon and now he's on
with us. That's really nice.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Simon is such a cool guy, like he actually like
he will exchange text messages if you're asking for recommendations
on restaurants, like that is how cool Michael's is. He
is the nicest guy on the Food Network.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
So you so you stalked him, got his phone number,
and now you text him.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
He recommended taking cow in New York one time when
we were when we were going up for a trip
and it was awesome. Like I can just tell you that, all.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Right, you tell him next time. I can't get past
his laugh for a guy who lasts away, I do, But.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Every last laugh. But the best part of Michael Simon
is the way that he gets under Bobby Flay's skin,
like that, like the way that he terrorizes Bobby Flay
like no other human being in the entire world can
terrorize Bobby Flay like Bobby Flay is completely and totally
(20:44):
flummixed whenever Michael Simon tries to take him on. It's
sort of like anybody taking on a Jets coach.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Or or like the way TJ Watt attacks quarterbacks. TJ.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
It's please stop now. Let's know, Berman, you cannot try
and divert this conversation.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I just told a great Berman story like ten minutes
ago that I wish you around for Man, it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I don't want to just don't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I don't want your ban talk right, So instead of that, Hey, hey,
who's taking harder the Cardinals or the reasons?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Lord, this is great. I do like Adam, and I
like the fact that Josh McDaniels is forced into defending
Devanta Adams ripping the entire.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Organna say I'm the new guy on the block and
I've got to defend me and the organization aren't on
the same page. I love that quote. That was the best.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Right and Josh McDaniels having to say he's earned the
right to say every anything that he wants to say. Really, Josh,
that's how you feel. That's really how you feel.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And I think my favorite part was after that, after
that got out, like Davante Adams said, we're not on
the same page, and Josh McDaniel says he's earned the
right to say that. Darren Waller had his press conference
for the first time as a Giant and said, hey,
they respect what we say here. They actually listened to us.
That was the best. Hey, I'm coming over the top
for you. Don't worry about it, Devontae. I got your back.
(22:25):
I got a press scrivers coming about a half hour.
You watch what I say. It's all good.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yeah, we're just hammering Josh McDaniels from both coasts like
this doesn't matter what times on you're in, Josh McDaniels,
you're just getting Hamburg, noquay.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Now let's take it to another squad. They had a
special guest helping them out in the coaching realm, John
Gruden hanging out with the New Orleans Saints. How quickly
is he back on a sideline.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
For a practice.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Just you know, how long is the the ramp up
and entry way that he becomes a coach in some
capacity other than just a technical advisor.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
He's got like he's got a better chance of doing
another Corona app than he does have of being a
NFL head coach.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
You know, I drove past an antique store down by
me in the South Bay here Jacoble, and they had
one of those bobbleheads out, those oversized ones from the
display out for sale. I'll go see if I can
procure that for you.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You can get that curtains never coming back to the sideline.
I mean, the best he's going to hope for is
that get some kind of settlement from the NFL if
he cares, if he follows through on this lawsuit, which
he's going to lose, because what the world has discovered
is all of that stuff was leaked by Dan Snyder.
It was not leaked by Roger Goodell. So the whole
basis of his lawsuit has fallen apart under scrutiny of
(23:54):
you know, journalists from the Washington Post. I mean, he's
he's got no shot. That's just not happening. So again
good luck with maybe a future Corona ad. Maybe you
can like be in the background and say, Tony, I'm
here again. You're like, that's the best you're gonna get.
That's it all right?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Then let's get to the biggest topic of the week.
On a scale of one to ten, if one is
unbelievably incredible and ten is overly unbelievably incredible, how great
are things with the Jets right now that Aaron Rodgers
is running things? How? I mean it's what like fifteen
on a scale of one to ten, twenty twenty five.
It's so great right now.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Right now? Yeah, because you don't have to play in
the games.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The show is tonight, though I can't fast forward.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The show's concerned to you about that cat injury that
limited him.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Stop. He's not concerned at all.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I'm not like, it's all golden right now. The fact
that what I love is the question for Daniel Jones,
can you play second fiddle?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
When was he ever first chair? Like, Sir Daniel, I
don't know, not last year he was.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Quarterback.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Don't get first chair by default. But you don't get that.
It's like, oh yeah, Zach Wilson sucks. It's not all
of a sudden, like, oh, hey, isn't that Daniel Jones
just great? No, he sucks too, he just doesn't suck
as bad as Zach Wilson. Okay, Like that's how that works. Okay,
(25:25):
he's a little bit better than that guy. And Dave
Ball's making them look a little bit better because they're
giving the ball to Kwan more and the quan's actually healthy.
That's how that worked.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So apparently Jason Cole knows Aaron Rodgers is the king
of New York. Look at me, I'm the king and
New York. Well, what's your favorite song? Off?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Ta? Sure? I mean you know, like this is this
is not exactly a high bar. Actually, who is the
most important athlete in New York right now? Is it
Pete Alonzo? Is it Garrett Cole?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, it's still Aaron Rodgers. He's still the most And Jalen.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Brunson, I'm saying, or is it it's Judge? Isn't it?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
No, it's still Aaron Rodgers. It's still Aaron Rodgers. It
doesn't matter. He's not even on the metals. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Not in the medals dead? Every other conversations about Aaron Rodgers. Stop,
he's at stop. But I'll give you Peter a Lonzo
number two.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I'll give you that pe Alonzo, like the Polar Bear.
Polar Bear is pretty cool. I gotta say that. When
you can hit like that, Aaron Judge, pretty cool. When
you can hit like that. You know, the Rogers guy,
he's got something to prove here. You know, it's not
just you walking in going hey.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Rob guys.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
You know you can't just do that and expect that,
like Rogers climbs the number one, like it's not all
about you Smith and your feelings about the Jets. No,
he actually has to win a game.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
No, he comes in at number one. He comes It's
like Jerry maguire when Cush was either going to ski
it didn't matter.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
You can't walk into New York without having played a
down or doing something and being number one. You actually
have to you know. Like, but this is like saying
that Ed Whitson was number one at one point in time.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
That has happened. Now. There is something to the fact
that coming to New York.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
That comparing Ed Witton to Aaron Rodgers and doing the
greatest things I have ever done in my life, that
was really well done.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You should lose your Pro Football Hall of Fame vote for.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Just for that, Yeah, in perpetuity. As a matter of
Jim Porter.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Should call you up and go, hey, did I hear
you on the radio that you compared ed witson to
Aaron Rodgers. What the hell is wrong?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Well, he's not worried. He's not worried about Rogers for
another five years minimum, So he should worry about whether
he's going to be keeping his job. That's what he
should be worried about.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But Jim Porter calling for Jim Porter's ouster, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'll lead that. I'll leave that to your interpretation.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Escalated quickly. You know, President of the Pro Football Hall
of Fame Jason Cole had this to say, following a
coup in which he overthrew the president.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
That's a great idea. I should do that. I should
just take over the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Well
do I have to live in never mind? I don't
want to say that.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh listen, you already owned the Hall of very good
all the people you've been putting in the last few years,
So you're fine with that.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
God, I hate you with all.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
The mini busts. They don't get.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Fas I hate you. Yeah. The blue ribbon panel of
forty thousand people we put in two years ago. That
was classic.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah. I just want the video to leak. You screaming
and people. These guys are just good. They're not all affairs. Jason, Jason,
contain yourself. I can't take it anymore.

and then whoa, somebody jerked the wheels.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Somebody knew it could be heading up the Hall of Fame.
Now that's what you call it. Tea over the Hall
of Fame. I'll let that out there for you to
be decided. What is happening in Canton? What's going on?
We gotta find some sourcing on that. Oh, we gotta
find out what's trending right now in the wide world
of sports, because the big game of the night is
now in the books. The Mets and the Rockies are done.
(30:40):
Steve de Seger has the latest on the latest Mets
VIC stevo, that was the big game of the night. Yeah,

(31:02):
a moment.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
The Arizona Cardinals did release wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins today,
saving over seven million dollars in cap space. The Bears
will start demolishing Arlington Park Racetrack next week, where they
hope to build a new stadium. The teams played at
Soldier Field since nineteen seventy one. It has at leased
there through twenty thirty three, but the Bears could negotiate
an early exit in the future. FS one will carry
(31:26):
USFL games this Saturday and Sunday Fox TV as Birmingham

Michigan State football coach Denny Stoles passed away at the
age of eighty nine. He coached San Diego State and
a couple others as well. In fact, he was Coach
of the Year in four different conferences in his career,
including in the Big Ten with Michigan State in nineteen
(31:47):
seventy four. There are four games still going on in
Major League Baseball. Red Sox still lead at Arizona six
to one, top of the seventh. A's are still losing.
It's Houston five to two over Oakland in the top
of the eight. A's have lost eight in a row.
The Pirates lead is seven to two at Seattle in
the bottom of the fifth, and the Marlins lead five
too over the Angels in the top of the seventh.
(32:10):
The Mets and Max Schurzer got a five to two
win at Colorado. Mets record up to twenty seven and
twenty five. Scherzer was superb at corrs Field seven innings,
one run, allowed, eight strikeouts. San Francisco won fifteen to
one at Milwaukee. The Brewers Willia Damas will go on
the injured list after being hit in the dugout by
a line fowl. Toronto a three to one winner at
(32:31):
Minnesota as the Twins left thirteen on base. Washington was
a twelve ten winner at Kansas City the loss to
Jordan Lyles of the Royals. He's zero to nine now.
His high Era got even higher to seven point three
to Zho. After this effort, Philadelphia won six four at Atlanta.
Craig Kimberlex of Atlanta picked up career save number four hundred.
(32:52):
Cleveland and Cincinnati with wins White Sox as well Tampa
Bay at home now twenty five and five after beating
the Dodgers and Noah Cindergard nine to three. Texas won
again twelve two at Baltimore, and the Padres beat the
Yankees in New York five to one. Yankee manager Aaron
Boone was serving a one game suspension. He was kicked
out again last night. The NBA East Finals will continue
(33:15):
tomorrow night. Stanley Cup playoffs continue tomorrow night. NASCAR six
hundred at Charlotte is this Sunday night on Fox TV
six pm Eastern Time. And kudos to Michael Block, the Guy,
a club pro who was in the PGA Championship last
weekend and finished at a tie for fifteen that got
him a sponsor exemption to compete this week at Colonial.
(33:36):
Block finished dead last shots eighty one yesterday seventy four.
Today he was in one hundred and twentieth place at
fifteen over par another sponsor exempsion. Coming up in two weeks,
he'll be playing the Canadian Open. He can probably feel
a little better because Jordan Speith also missed the cut
at four over par, Harry Hall still leads by three.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Back to you, Thanks a Buch Steve on The Jason
Smith Show with ma My best friend Mike Harmon. Coming
up next, the most out of control sports personality on
the planet the last week. We get to that next
here on Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My base
Friend Mike Harmon. Never heard of him On a live
drop Friday, they drafted who I Ain't paying for that.
One thing we did not see tonight in the world
of sports was Aaron Boone managing the Yankees. Why Aaron
Boone serving a one game suspension for his repeated ejections
(34:44):
this season in Major League Baseball. He was thrown out
the other night three times in the last ten games.
He's been ejected four times this season. Now, just Bud
is a guy. He just got ejected, got arrested. Whoa
WHOA whoa, No, you gotta get to like twenty rejections.
I think for that now he's someone who always gets
his money's worth, is always at the top of the
(35:05):
list of umpire ejections. But now he gets suspended for
a game. And when he was asked about he gave
a real curious answer as to whether or not, Hey,
are your ejections hurting the Yankees? Because are the umpires
really giving you a fair shake knowing that you're liable
to come out and scream at them at any moment.
And here's what Aaron Boone had to say about that today.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Well, I think I've earned that reputation. Do I think
it's leading to a quick cook? Not necessarily. I think
last night was, But that could just be a one off.
Maybe I'm delusional and that I did more than I think.
I don't think that's the case. But no, so I no,
I don't think. I don't think I'm being targeted by
(35:48):
umpires going in like they're not going to tolerate certain things.
I think I think I'm treated fairly.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah, but is your team treated fairly? That's the whole
thing is that umpires are here, and no matter what
you say, they go into situations and when they know
this guy has this reputation, he's come out. He's yelled
at me before he yells for ridiculous stuff that doesn't matter.
I'm sorry. There's certain things, however, obliquely they bleed into
(36:17):
some decisions that you make. It doesn't mean that you're
calling something all that ball is fair, Well, everybody can
see it was foul. No, it was fair. But are
you gonna get the benefit of the doubt on a
play when you come out, or you're gonna get to yell,
or are they gonna throw you out early? Those things
do affect the team. You know, it's not umpires, aren't
road the robots. Maybe we get the robot humps and
they come out who maybe they might just like just
(36:37):
zap you though, and disintegrate you if you try to argue,
which could be a reason to have that robot um
I mean shortened games. Yeah, well i'd like to see
if if if you could come out argue to a
robot ump, but a robotum can disintegrate you, like that
would be pretty cool. Like I'd like to see that.
I mean not permanent though, but like they disintegrate you
just for the game and then you come back. Okay,
they dehydrate you, like in the nineteen sixty six classic
(36:59):
film Batman. I was thinking what they did to the
world leaders, and I was thinking more like the like
like the like the the blip in in in Avengers,
like all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the
robot umps can just and then you're just all these
little pieces of dust floating in the wind. There why
it's the whole plate umpire wearing a gauntlet. Mister, mister Angelernendez.
(37:19):
I don't want to go, sir, I don't want to
go at all. There he goes, there, he goes.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Just had to take Tom Holland out while you were
at it. There's so that would free up Zendia. It
would in theory, in theory, yes that would.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
It would. I mean, heart goes on and all. But
I mean, but if he's coming back, he's coming back soon.
If maybe you don't know, oh that's true. Yeah, it's
a variable amount of time. Yeah. For the people on
the blip, it seemed like it was instantaneous. But people
not on the blit, I guess I guess that way. Look,
there's no way it doesn't bleed in somehow, there's no way.
It doesn't. Whether it's a short fuse for the manager
(37:56):
or the next anything that is that isn't then either call.
Are they are umpires specifically saying the next fifty to
fifty call is going against him because I can't stand
that guy. No, they're not doing that the front of
their minds, but the back of their minds. If you're
up in a game in which is an umpire, there's
a there's a manager you don't like and a manager
you do like, a routine that stays off you. Yeah,
(38:18):
certain things are gonna be bang bang plays or something
else is gonna be. Is gonna favor that team? There's
gonna be something that happens, not everyone, but once in
a while. Yet, are you gonna get run when when
you should be able to talk more about Yeah, you're
gonna get run earlier that. That's just natural to think
it's not it's naive to think it's not gonna happen.
I'll talk right, It's like all of that, they you know,
(38:38):
the water cooler chatter, the the umpires, the joke of
you know what they call him behind the scenes because
he's out there complaining and anything. The fuse gets shorter
with each passing moment, and he's at a two week
period where he's getting run every every other day, three
times every third kick getting thrown out. That's gonna stay
(39:00):
with you. He's got four on the year.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
I don't know what the record is, go back to
the old Earl Weaver days.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
He's ahead of the he's I know this year he
is ahead of the rate of the all time record,
ahead of the.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Rate, which means maybe they lean into it a little bit.
You come out, you're not getting your money's worth anymore,
nor are you getting your point across.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Like all right here he is, here comes Boon. Hey,
how you guys doing you're going?
Speaker 4 (39:22):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Why didn't It doesn't matter. I'm at me. You looked
at me with great disdain. Maybe he's like a long
in the vengeance. We're in the air of peak TV.
I need to be able to catch up on all
my shows.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
But legitimately it's it becomes a difficult thing where you
start wondering if you're getting hit on the edges for
your pictures, maybe the plate gets a little bigger and
the zone a little higher or lower for your hitters,
and all of that can be quantified, but it's still
why open the door? Yeah, I mean, if it's something egregious,
then go get it. But right now you're at a
(40:00):
point where they're just expecting and you're gonna get dumped immediately.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Twitter at how about a fresco Mike gets swollen down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon Actually,
I actually storted to even back that up from the
last couple of weeks. To back up still, let's go,
we got that. And the latest on DeAndre Hopkins is
he really that big a get? That's next on Fox
