I looked and on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, the premiere episode
(00:52):
of Hard Knocks with the Jets has a rating of
one hundred percent certified fresh ten thousand reviews. They all
have it. It's the highest rated. It's the best thing
that's ever been put on television or the movies. On
Rotten Tomatoes, what's the fan response, No, no, no, no, no,
it's too much.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Damn Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's actually one hundred and two percent. It's almost it's.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Almost like he had executive produced it, like he was
Tom Cruise. Damn it. There will be no scene where
my head doesn't appear somewhere in there.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Look, we want we had the first episode on that
that was on while we were on the air. We
still Mike and I haven't seen it with audio, but
I'm telling you, the entire episode is Aaron Rodgers. There's
a little bit of Zach Wilson in it, there's a
tiny bit, but the entire episode is Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And what would you have a little bit of the secondary, righty?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Sauce Gardner? Yeah, well, but I mean because it had
to do with Aaron Rodgers, you had Sauce Gardner and
that's what well.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I mean watching him own Garrett Wilson and watch Aaron
Rodgers overshoot him because he didn't want to try to
challenge Saucio.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's okay, man, best he be in the NFL. I'm
okay with that.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You want to talk about that, that's the best hype
man you can get. Aaron won't even throw at you.
Look how good you are?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But look, what did I tell you before they started
Hard Knocks right with the Jets being on, this is
a chance and we're not going to give you a
lot of access to cutting players. And not that the
Jets are cutting players at this point.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You know they've they've cut a couple of Playerstreler Yeah, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
How this is going to end for him.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This was a chance for Hard Knocks to say, we
are going to kind of reboot this year, and what
do people want to see outside of Aaron Rodgers with
the Jets not just right? Yeah, yeah, you could have
stra But is the is the the battle for the
starting running back if Brees Hall can't come back, between
Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter? Is is that really compelling?
(02:49):
Is the seventeen defensive lineman that Robert Sala wants to
have is that really compelling? Or is Aaron Rodgers being
a Jet and getting a look inside this better than
everything else? It's Aaron Rodgers and what do we see
in the opening episode? Everything was Aaron Rodgers. It's a
brilliant move by Hard Knocks. We're gonna change the formula
a little bit because we can't when you cut a
(03:11):
wave if you cut away from Aaron Rodgers, something else
anybody watching is saying, I want to fast forward because
I want to get back to Aaron Rodgers. If it's
such an overwhelming yes, and I love the chats and
I love everything going on with it. I want to
see more Aaron Rodgers. More Aaron Rodgers throwing the football,
more of him throwing it into a basket, more of
him telling Zach Wilson, throw the ball here, telling Zack Wilson,
(03:31):
let me throw the pass for you, all of these
things I want. It's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, could you do it? Can you do it
for four or five episodes, which is what they're gonna
have to do it? I don't know. But for the
first one, I mean, what does anybody else really want
to see? Do you really want to say? Hey, they're
bringing in new strength and conditioning coaches now, even Live
Schreiber shows up in a helicopter and what does he do.
He walks right over to Aaron Rodgers and hey, we're talking.
We're talking. We're talking, We're talking. That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, and they have some great exchanges, right, Big fan
of yours, big fan of yours. Let's talk about surfing
and whatever else. It's great, it's fantastic. Right they get
to the choppa. You got guys yelling, so you talk
about timeless movies and scenes and quotes or whatever. It's
all finding good. But we've followed the like even the
most casual NFL fan has followed every step of the
(04:20):
Aaron Rodgers world. This isn't Hey, am I gonna watch
the next episode of Sex in the City, or am
I gonna check out this Hard Knocks thing that just
popped up here? Because I don't know it could be fun. No,
your football fans are what are coming in so we
all know the Aaron Rodgers stuff. Having it be a
love fest and deification of him, which is what he
(04:41):
kind of forced upon them to be part of it,
as did the Jets with all their Hey, we're not
doing the normal, normal way you guys have done business,
which is fine. Rebrand it, retouch it, whatever you need
to do. I know everything about Aaron Rodgers. I know
he's the happiest tourist in the world. We know that
he called the play for Zach Wilson. But it just
became this, all right, give me something else, man, I
(05:03):
know I don't have the sound on, but I was nauseated.
Come on, there's gotta be something else going on there.
Then everybody walking over.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
To kiss his eggs outraged by you. Why you really
wanted more? I want guys that I don't know about
and find out about the positions battle. No, you don't.
Come on, man, this is Aaron Rodgers. It's the biggest
story in the NFL. I've watched him for two bleep
in decades, right, but now you get to see him
as a jet It's all completely different.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, it's not. It's like if they're doing a deep
dive deep dive and you're and you're on a lie
detect machine and you've got to talk to me about
the two thousand and five draft night. Hey, and you
got to talk to me on record with the little
thing going off. You're under the lamp and sip of
Witz is interrogating you, going You're gonna get the needle
if you lie and you talk about the front office
(05:49):
or whatever. I'm interested. Otherwise it's a.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Lot of fake out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I love my life here and dude, fake out, lammy, lamb, lamb.
Look at me looking at the Hall of Fame. Statues,
I'm gonna be here one day, La la la beat it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
If that didn't work, Taylor Swift would not redo all
of her songs and send them out and people would
listen to them. Wait, I've seen Aaron Rodgers for you know,
twenty years. Yeah, but now he's at jet it's a
big story.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I've heard these Taylor Swift songs for the last ten
twelve years. But now they're new, and they've changed a
couple of lines, and and maybe the base line is
a little bit different. Oh, I gotta go buy that
and support Taylor's there's a market for that, There's a
big but it's the only market. Aaron Rodgers is gonna
be a story every single week in the NFL, every
Monday and Tuesday. Rogers is a story every Friday going
into the weekend. And that's gonna be rinse and repeat
(06:34):
all season long.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, sure, there's the man hate watching that comes with it.
And this is the first time you get to holarizing.
And I can't blame you know, artists that do the
re recording or live live albums to get through contracts.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, Aerosmith has another box set out. No, I think
you're lying that. Come on you you look it up.
Look it up right now. On I'm telling you, right now,
you look it up. There's no least other box set.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yes they did. I'm telling you right now. They're finally
getting back on tour. Steven's health is doing better. It
seems like some of the lost stuff, legal stuff has
been subsided a bit. But yes, they've got another box
set out. Joe Joe Perry just finished with this Hollywood Vampires.
It's it's a new Greatest Hits box set that just
(07:23):
came out. Let's see, let's see to release forty four
song Greatest Hits collection ahead a farewell tour.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
They haven't had any any any more hits to add
to their box set in the last twenty years.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I mean, how to four LP vinyl box.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean, come on, man, an't that There's no way
Taylor Swift I get she's changing music and changing everything.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And read and re recollecting the money that you know,
many feel was kind of ripped off when stuff went
and got sold behind her back. But that's a whole
other thing, the business side, and we've certainly seen that
petty Billy Joe whatever. But Aerosmith another live set going
back to Aaron Rodgers. It's the same old Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So you tell me what we're gonna get us. Hey,
so uh, we recorded Sweet Emotion back in nineteen seventy three.
It's been a big hit. But now we have a
new version of it called Sweet Promotion, and we're gonna
have that come out. So you want that because that's
got a little bit different lyrics and it goes sweet
Promote shine, no bushit that works.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah. You go through the track listening, same old song
and dance singles version.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Same old song in prance.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
We're changing that one too, Kats and Queen Dude looks
like a baby.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We're gonna do that one.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That's good. Now. I do have the Lullaby Aerosmith album.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It was very soothing, Hey, Metallica and Aerosmith, the Lula
We're going gonna give you that, yes, and the Ramones.
The Ramones All Lalla.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Was really good. The Black Sabbath one was fantastic. Don
it dune?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
How's Rogers going to pass a drug test if he
was hanging out with methan man?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
No, there is standing next to him, doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
He was standing next to live Schreiber too. Well, now
he's shat next to Live Schreiber. Now Aaron Rodgers is
going to be narrating everything like Live Schreiber. On this play,
I'm going to go deep to Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He was really proud of himself on that play. Call.
Let me tell you, hey, he.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Called a fifty seven yard He told Zack Wilson, throw
it deep to Maleik. Hey, it's the biggest play Zach
Wilson's had in three years.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Aaron Rodgers, I can't throw the ball fifty seven yards?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Stop, hey, one plank and pass. That's what Sala said.
That's what everybody was running around the sideline yelling quarterback
one now.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah. Well, not only that, but also head coach, because
you see the you see the video of Rogers on
the sideline when he's in a T shirt and sweatpants,
whether it's at practice or at the game, and he's
standing next to Robert Sala, and sorry, he looks like
the head coach, and Sala looks like the coach that
the head coach comes to visit with, Hey, how's everything okay,
(10:07):
how the player's doing. I know I was over with
special teams today and how's a defense looking? How are
these guys all right?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Great?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, Rogers looks like he's the head coach, and really,
technically he is the head coach of the offense and
Saala is the head coach of the defense. But i'd
be really, Rogers looks like he's the guy. He's the guy.
We're gonna ask it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Okay, let me ask Let me ask this of you though. Right,
you've watched some of the quarterback series on Netflix. Who
curses more Robert Sala or Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Ooh no, Mahomes. Mahomes just says the same thing over
and all.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, Well he goes like thirty he gets into a
space and he goes like yeah, like thirty times, they'll
say the same thing.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Don't blank and punch me, don't blake and punch me. Hey,
whatever you got to do, don't blake and punch me.
Don't blank and punch me. He blank and punch me.
That guy blanket punched me.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
The guy blank and punch me. He blank and punched me.
I said, don't blank and punch me, Max cross me.
Don't blank and punch me. He blanke and punch. Did
you see him blake and punch me? The guy blake
and punched me, and then he was hanging out with
this family. Yeah, maybe he was hanging out with his
family hours later. You know, he blank and punched me.
You're a good player, but don't blake and punch me.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't like it. I don't like it. It's not good.
It's not good. I gotta deal with a lot of
stuff off the field. I don't want to deal with this.
I don't want to do it. Don't blake and punch me. Okay,
don't let stop with the blanket punches.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I laughed with Sawa though. He was giving this the
speech in the locker room, and he dropped the F
bomb the first time, and then he went back to
the well and he said freaking yeah, and then immediately
went back to the F. But like, I forget and
I've already said it once, let's just stick with it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
He saw the camera guy who just gave him the Hey,
I'm the cursing. Nah, screw it. I'm just gonna say.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
If you're gonna say it, just just go with it.
Just run with it, buddy.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
There it is like, this is exactly what you want
out of heart if you're not gonna get the cut
because there's there's just not that. Sometimes when you do
something creative, you have to understand your audience, right, And
what do I always say about Hollywood? Hollywood now has
to change a fifty year way of thinking, where Hey,
we're gonna do these move movies. We think these are
gonna be hits. We're gonna put these out and people
(12:03):
are gonna come see it just because going to the
movies is a thing. No people have decided, Eh, I'm
not gonna go see that because there's something else better
that I can do. Hollywood's got to make sure that
now they put out movies that we want to see.
Does this mean more superhero movies like Blue Beetle with
Miguel You know, maybe that means that, but it means
that you gotta get people back to the theater. And
(12:25):
is Napoleon gonna get people back to the theater?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Is there? Are we really crying out for a Napoleon biopic?
As interested as I am in the Battle of Waterloo,
which I'm a nerd for that, I have no desire
to see. Really, I want to go see Waking Phoenix
for three and a half hours, is Napoleon. No, you
have to come. You have to put out stuff that
makes me go to the movie theater. So you gotta
put out Barbie and Oppenheimer and all this different stuff.
The same thing with Hard Knocks. Hey, can you keep
(12:48):
putting out the same formula every year of here's the players,
here's the position battles. You're gonna cry when this guy
is cut. Here's what they like to do off the field.
Here's some here's some colorful stories about guys. Here's a
player who doesn't know where the Pacific Ocean is. No,
you got to change it up once in a while.
And everybody wants to see Aaron Rodgers. And anytime you
don't show Aaron Rodgers on the Jets, you're giving people
(13:10):
an invitation to say I could turn the channel. No
stick with Aaron Rodgers. When everybody wants to see Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, Rogers,
it's out. That's that's that's your win right there. That's
the win for Hard Knocks.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Find your wins. I would say two things really quick.
Number one, Adam Devine, funny comedian. You've seen him everywhere.
You know who he is. Bumpy yeah, bumper and yeah
he's he's on Modern Family. All of those things. He
talked about the very thing with where comedy is, and
people misconstrued it because he talked about Marvel movies and
(13:42):
two hundred million dollar epics in theater that you know,
a mid range comedy doesn't get the same run that
it would have ten years ago. And he got all
sorts of flat because people just said, oh, he's attacking
Marvel movies like they ruined cinema. Okay, fine. The other part,
just for those outside of Aaron Rodgers, the best scene,
the best content with Sauce Gardner getting his degree, uh
(14:03):
and everything going on with that because you know you
and I celebrate that because look, go get your money.
You can always go back to school. And he was
hanging out with Nick van Exel talking about the season
ahead while you were at it too, So that was
good Nick the quick getting after it asking him about
the offense.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Hey, Nick, tell me about one two three Kancuon, tell
me how that worked out for you? That worked out well?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Because he was the guy teams of all time?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But that was said one two three Kancoon Nick Eddie Jones, Yeah,
Cedric Sebalis sure sure Into the show was still around.
They brought him back, They brought didn't came back. Well,
they should do that for showtime. Hey, let let's have tea, man,
let's have let's have the new showtime be like the
late nineties Lakers like before you know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I'm all in, Yeah, I'm there. Let us research and
write it. Frostburg, start contacting these guys. They got stories
for days.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Let's go twitter it out about a Fresco. Mike and
Swollen down The Jason Smith Show with My my best
friend Mike Harmon, heick on left. Coming up next, we
have another big story out of the NFL after today.
I have no doubt that one NFL superstar is gonna
get traded before the season begins. That's next right here,
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
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 iHeartRadio app TJ.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
The Jets ran all through Hard Knocks Tonight TJ Fox
Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the ti Raq dot Com Studios.
Major League Baseball Dodgers looking for another half game between
themselves and the Giants. They lead the Diamondbacks four to
(15:48):
two as they bat in the top of the ninth inning.
And look, you know, we talked about a little bit
with John Palmerrosi last hour of the show. We'll get
to Jonathan Taylor Thomas in a second, But it really
is unbelievable that the Dodgers, despite making no big changes
in the offseason, they decided to not spend this year
(16:09):
and they spend every year, right, they spend. Could they
be saving for Otani, sure, but usually, hey, there's guys,
we go out there. We got to get better. They
lost players off of last year, and they made some
nice moves to the deadline, right, but they couldn't make
that big one.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They couldn't get Ronado from the Cardinals. They couldn't. They
couldn't get Rodriguez from the Tigers. And here they are
still it doesn't matter, and they are three outs away
from being twenty games over five hundred. It depresses me
as a baseball fan going They could come into this
year being the most vulnerable they've been in years, and
still here we are in the not even the middle
(16:46):
of August and their twenty games over five hundred. Kershaw
hasn't pitched in a couple of months. They haven't had
Walker Bueller all year. Really, this may be the most
impressive regular season the Dodgers have ever had because they
have the top of their lineup hits, the top three
four guys in lineup hit, and everybody else is we're
(17:07):
trying to piece it together, and here they are. They're
just as good as they always are. Almost twenty games
over five hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, it is an absurdity of riches through the years.
Right the next prospect up, and we've highlighted a couple
of guys. When you talk about Corey Seger, you talk
about Cody Bellinger, Guys that were there moved on Seeger,
who's been fantastic and dominant for a long period of time.
This year, Bellinger one of the great reclamation projects that
(17:36):
we've seen in baseball, one of the great stories, come
back player of the year kind of stuff with what
he's done with the Cubs. And you know how much
it pains me to say that, but I like when
guys get that next chance and have that opportunity to
show that early success can be reattained and battle back
from the adversity. I don't know, there's some you know,
(17:57):
the human element at its finess there. But we watched
this this rotation, we watched the bullpen, We've watched the struggles,
and it doesn't matter because you got Freeman and Betts
anchoring it all. Martinez, you got three guys with just
ridiculous numbers to really always set just that bedrock formation
(18:18):
to it all. Add what Outman's been able to do
in stretches and just go on down. It really is remarkable,
you know, because we love the consistency continuity in organizations.
We highlight when we do our NFL you know, started
the season and all the way through, when you can
keep a GM, when you can keep a head coach
for more than a hot minute, which is very rare anymore.
(18:40):
This year we've got half the teams changed out their
offensive coordinators, so we have no idea what we're seeing.
It's like, hey, that guy was really good last year,
Well they changed the offense. How's it look now? Right?
All of that thing? The Dodgers, the names just keep
changing and it doesn't matter. Organizational excels continues. You get
(19:01):
guys like Lance Lynn sure, he fires up a couple
of gopher balls solo shots, and he's given you tons
of innings and he's happy and people are happy. And
Joe Kelly with the blank you over the weekend Detatis Junior,
who got screwed by Julio Rodriguez tonight. I don't know
if you saw that play too. Rodriguez pretended like he
(19:22):
didn't catch a ball at the wall and then he
held it up like, oh yeah, by the way, I
got this another Like Joe Kelly verbally said, blank you
Rodriguez did it again. But it's just that kind of
thing where you're watching it all come together and you
got a clubhouse that's healthy. And we talk about environments
(19:43):
to succeed, you know, we were talking about, you know, the
what's going on in Washington and Will again is that
it takes a little bit of unrest, but once you
settle in and once people know what's expected, you get
the best out of him and the Dodgers. I mean,
you can't say enough. And we're here in Los Angeles
watching it every night, and you know, even though Dodger
(20:04):
fans around the building every once in a while, they're
like you with the Mets, you know, every once in
a while, I just want to go shosh like I'm
hanging around in the WWE. It's still fun to watch Twitter.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
At how about a fresco Mike gets swollen down the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon again,
Dodgers three outs away. They just got another insurance run
Mookie Betts with an RBI single. They lead the Diamondbacks
five too as they bat in the top of the
ninth inning. Solve more in this game as continues again
three outs away for the Dodgers. Now, this other big
(20:37):
story in the NFL today, and it's been I don't
know why people seem to be dancing around this, but
Jonathan Taylor's getting traded. Okay, there's no doubt in my
mind he is going to be dealt today. The Colts
running back, who is very unhappy with his contract situation,
left the team to rehab away from the franchise. The
(20:59):
team tried to in this by saying, yeah, no, this
was the plan. He was gonna be around and not
be around. No, no, Jonathan Taylor is getting dealt because
there is no way back for him. After Colts owner
Jim Ersey decided to tell Jonathan Taylor, you are not important.
He's in the running for being the worst owner in sports.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's like, now, hey, that mantle is open because Daniel
Snyder's out of the league. I want to be known
as the worst owner in sports. This whole impasse with
Jonathan Taylor started a little bit when Taylor got a
new agent, and of course you get a new agent,
new agent wants to make his mark get a big contract.
And this is where everything with running backs started to
(21:39):
come to a head. Running Backs aren't getting paid. Taylor's
the next great running back to get paid, because we
just saw Saquon Barkley didn't get paid by the Giants.
But Taylor's had a better last couple of years. Barkley's
been a one year. Hey, I'm bouncing back. He's the
guy to set the market. There's a lot of pressure
on Taylor to be that person so other players and
(21:59):
run behind him coming up can get big contracts. So,
knowing that that's the case, when Taylor wants a new
deal and said he's holding out a camp, Jim Irsay
needs to understand that this is a guy we want
to keep around. This is not a guy we want
to piss off. This is not a guy we want
to actually trade. But instead, what does Ersay say last
week when the trade demand comes out? Well, if I
(22:21):
die tomorrow and Jonathan Taylor's not in the league, nobody
cares about us. How do you come back to the
team after your owner says that about you, after he
belittles your presence with the team. He has told you
you do not matter. And for someone who already is
pissed because they have the pressure on them for getting
a new contract, and you hear the owners say this
(22:42):
about you, there is no way I am coming back
to this team. I can't see Jonathan Taylor suddenly coming
back saying all right, because there's no more money coming
his way. Jim Irsay has said if you legal, league
doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know how you do that.
If you're Jim Irsay, there's a way to get around
it if you don't want to pay him, because nobody
wants to pay running backs. And that's a hard reality
(23:02):
that a lot of running backs have to get. But
you never want to make your best player feel like
you're irrelevant to the team. And yet Jim Ersay did that.
There is no way he comes back, and it's gonna
be a real ugly next couple of weeks and eventually
right before the season starts, because Ers is gonna want
to screw Taylor by trading him when he's got no
(23:24):
time to get ready and he winds up having a
bad year this year. Right before the season starts, he'll
trade Taylor to a desperate team who needs a running back,
and that's how it's going to go. But there is
no way this ends with Taylor being a cult again.
He's played his last down. It's just a matter of
what team is gonna pony up whatever for him, and
the Colts are gonna make that decision the better. Anthony
(23:46):
Richardson looks in the preseason, it looks like they want
to give him the gig. They're gonna think, we don't
need Taylor. We're gonna be quarterback driven. We can stay
really strong to our beliefs that we don't need to
sign him, and that's how it's going to go. It'll
be right before the season and Taylor's going to.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Get dealt I might see Kaream Hunt come walking in
that door. As the visits now are in the this
part of the season, look for Jonathan Taylor. You know,
like I take the dual pronged approach of all right,
we got to go to the pragmatism and look what
ersay said. Yeah, should you have a better bedside manner
(24:22):
in this process and recognize the volatility. Sure, But at
the same token, you're also saying, what the cold hard
truth of it is, we didn't dominate with you. You're good,
you're great. You're coming off an injury where you played
eleven games and we don't know how you are right
now coming off of surgery and what we can expect
(24:45):
this year. You've got one more year left on your
deal before we really need to worry about it. And
obviously Taylor wants to re up. He wants his security,
he wants his signing bonus, all of those things. We
understand those. But for Ursa to say what he did,
yeah's crass. Yeah, it's probably not what a lot of
the owners wish got out into the public. But he
(25:07):
said the quiet part out loud, and he said it
for them, So now he's the bad guy. He's just
saying what they all think behind the room. And also
when they all hold up the giant copy of a
CBA going you guys just sign this and ratify this
two years ago.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, but that's why you don't say the quiet part
out loud. That's why you're stupid for saying the quiet
part out But are you stupid, right, yes, Johnnick, you are.
You've alienated your superstar player. You've alienated in the best
running back in the NFL. How do you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Well, you could argue he's the best running back. We
could have that debate if he's available to me eleven games.
He's not the best running back in the NFL. He
hands down right, His availability is a concern at this point.
So why would Jim irsay, go, you know what, let's
let's rip up that contract and let's extend you now
coming off an ankle surgery and coming off of a
(25:55):
down year.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh, you don't have to extend him, but you could
just make it seem like you love him and that
he's a big part of your future and let's have
this conversation. And from the field, this was what he
did was just stupid because all he did was piss
off Jonathan Taylor, who now publicly was embarrassed. So you
know what, you know, I can't come back until either
you apologize or give me money. Neither of these things
are happening from Jim, irsay.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
That's the problem. Though. Sometimes folks get too far out
in the how important they are to anything and everything,
and someone's got to hit the reset. Should that have
been done kindler and behind much more kindly and behind
closed doors? Sure, Unfortunately you can't unring that bell. And
for Jonathan Taylor, his age and his family and everybody else,
(26:37):
there's a reality to what's there In terms of Jim
Mersey is not going to trade him. I don't see
it happen at all. I think he'd rather just have
Jonathan Taylor on the sideline to prove his point. And
I think that's part of the public comment.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I you know, you know what in the past I
would say yeah, But in the end, Hey, he's an
asset and he's withering away, it's not helping anybody. Let's
trade him. We're not and he's not coming back to
the team next year. We're not going to keep him.
He's going to be an ex cult. Why not trade
him now when his value is pretty high.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I hope if he doesn't come back by week ten,
he doesn't get the year of a crude time. So
it's up to him to decide you want to play
football or not.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, but you want to be able to get something
for him. You want to be able to get the
best deal you can for me. And if you trade
him before the season, there will be a team desperate
enough to say, Okay, here's a second round pick that
curtain turn into a first round pick if he winds
up meeting certain expectations. Again, you're talking about a guy who, Yeah,
if we're arguing he's the best running back in the NFL,
there's going to be a team that wants.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
To give up for him.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But if he sits out a whole year, people go, well,
I don't want him now he sat out of here,
I'm gonna get somebody from college or somebody else who's played.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
But you're also underestimating you, Mercy. That's the part of
this that you're missing. I agree.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I wouldn't say.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I'm missing it, Bob, I would sayheartedly, I'm in full
agreement in terms of right, this breakup is done. You
want out, he wants out, Go figure out what the
proper compensation is and go from there. I'm just going
from what we've seen of Jim Ers through the years,
does rationality seem to be always number one priority for him? No,
(28:18):
the guy hung a banner forgetting to an AFC title game,
for crying out loud Twitter.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And how about a Fresca XI. How about a Fresca
Mike hat swollen dumb. I'm telling you he's gonna get traded.
He's got and I will text you when that happens, going, Hey,
look what happened, buddy. Look at what Jim Mercy did, and.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
They that he's gone against form. I mean someone locked
him in a closet like he was Jerry Jones when
he wanted to draft Jouneyman's.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Or he may just think I traded him in fantasy,
but I wound up doing.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
It for real.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh, I thought it was just fantasy.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Hit this button? What is this the owners Fantasy League? Yeah,
hit just button Taylor.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Guys with a whale, he would be getting paid.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
No, that's right, that twenty million dollars. That was really
cool when people photo shot him into a whale costumes.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, how about the banner they hung of it Lucas Oil.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Sure they're gonna hang a banner for Anthony Richardson if
he wins the starting job one starting job in preseason.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Anthony Richardson is going to be good. It sucks for
him that he's got nobody behind him.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dude, I'm telling you, the better he looks, the worse
that is for Jonathan Taylor, because the better because there'll
be quarterback driven And it's not like they want to
pay Taylor already when they have no idea what they're
gonna get. But if Anthony Richardson looks good, it's gonna be. Yeah,
we really don't need a weekend trade.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
But they're so dumb by not bringing Jonathan Taylor, not
paying him because they're only hurting Anthony Richardson by doing this.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You have a rookie quarterback running back, I agree with you.
But if he plays in the preseason when other teams
are playing their backups and Anthony Richardson only knows one
way to play, played QB one Zach will stop when
when you play rookies only know one way to play
in the preseason, right, their first year, they played just
as hard as they play in college, right because they
(29:57):
don't know any better because they got to impress everybody.
The veteran. Hey, we're taking some plays off here. We're
not going crazy. A lot of the stars don't play,
so it's easy for Anthony Richardson to look great. In
the preseason, when defenses start getting a little bit more
sophisticated and stars start playing, that's when rookie quarterbacks kind
of hit the wall. But they come back to earth.
But in the preseason, if he plays and he's running
(30:18):
all over the field, and he's dropping dimes and making
big plays with his legs, it's gonna be Yeah, I done.
This guy's rookie of the year, be offensive player of
the year. We don't need Jonathan Taylor. Yeah. Well, Anthony
Richardson is all we need, trust me. That's but they're
dopes for taking away his number one weapon.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Well, let me give you a little bit of insight
that we got from Shane Steichen today and his Q
and a quote, do you think you'll practice during camp? Stiking? Yeah,
i'd like to see that. We'll see how it all
plays out again once again. Once he's cleared, he'll be
out there. Question is this the original injury, the original
(30:56):
of surgery, or did he do something else? Quote from Stiking, Yeah,
he's got the ankle. It's the ankle. Yeah, it's like
he's Tommy two times from Goodfellas. I gotta get the papers,
get the papers. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tirag dot com studios. And
we had this story out of the NFL today and
I thought was really really interesting. Apparently Washington Commanders players
are not happy with new offensive coordinator Eric the Enemy
(31:36):
because he is too intense. And the players went to
head coach Ron Rivera saying, hey, could you get him
a dial it back a little bit. He's a little
too intense. He yells a lot, he's in our face.
And Ron Rivera, talking to the media about this today,
said hey, you got to listen to him. He's got
some stuff to teach. You have some things to learn. Now.
(31:57):
I knew the reaction right away was going to be,
this is why Eric the Enemy's not a head coach.
The players don't like him. Hey lied to us in
Kansas City and Mahomes was saying out, great, I like
to die. He's good. No, Eric penemy. Let's just stop
for a second, okay, because I know one thing. I
know one guy is walking into practice every day with
(32:19):
two Super Bowl rings from the past four years, and
I know one team is walking in having underachieved for
the last six I think you should listen to the enemy,
even if he's getting on you a little bit, because
players either need a hug or they need a kick
in the ass, right, that is usually what happens. Some
players respond to you to hug. Sometimes you need a
(32:41):
kick in the ass. This commander's team needs a kick
in the ass because everything you've gone through there's been
I get that it was a very difficult last couple
of years, and playing and playing and practicing in the
shadow of everything going on Daniel Snyder is in fun.
But you've underachieved. There's talent on that team, and you've underachieved,
and yeah, you need a kick in the ass. And
(33:02):
it's been my experience that anytime you say I don't
need to be talked to like that, I don't need
a kick in the ass, that's exactly when you need
to kick in the ass. It's not another time twin
you say I don't need this. No, that's exactly when
you need a kick in the ass all the way true.
There's never been a time where I was like, you know,
I needed that. I needed that kick in the ass.
That was a good thing. Whenever you think you don't
(33:22):
is when you do. And the absolute truth is the
Commanders need something like this because you're looking to change
the culture, you're looking to reverse what's going on. You
have some talent on that team. It is a very
difficult NFC East. You want to finish last, keep doing
what you're doing. Listen to Eric the enemy, as much
as you want to talk about it was a play
call of different things. The one thing he has done universally,
(33:43):
all the players say the same thing. He puts me
in a position to succeed, and he puts us in
a position to be the best football players we can be.
And that's part of what coaching means. So yeah, listen
to the enemy. If you're the Commanders, suck it up
and do what he says. If it's not working after
the first three four weeks and things are and morale
is really bad, okay, I got it, and maybe you
(34:03):
want to say something and figure it out then, But
now it's the summertime. Man, listen to what the guy's doing.
He's trying to create a culture.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, I think I go back to when my kids
were in grade school. I'd always have people talking about
how they were jockeying for the nice teacher, right. They
wanted everybody to tell them how pretty they were, how
smart they were, how great their printing was, and everything else. Like,
at some point, they've got to give you some brass tacks.
You didn't write a complete sentence, you didn't you colored
outside the lines, whatever the case was. It's like you
(34:32):
need that earlier in life, so as you go through
jobs and everything else. So you want people to be
honest with you. I think right, and to a point,
not to cruelty. But the reality is you need to
be coached up. You hit it on the head with
talking about the the change of culture that you're trying
to bring in. How do you do that? You bring
in a guy that's got the pedigree. You get the
(34:54):
guy that's got the pelts on the wall with a
couple of rings he can pass around in that first
meeting you one of these you gotta work hard, and
I'm gonna be really hard on you. And that's the
way it works, you're either in or you're out right now,
I mean, that's it. You've got to get complete, a
committal to what you're doing. And Ron Rivera's you know,
(35:14):
he's got no place to get in Eric the enemy's way,
Cause my guess is in all the change and everything
going on, he's probably in that middle period of like,
all right, once we get settled. If this doesn't work,
Eric's taken over, or if he's not, somebody else will.
So you kept him around while you changed a lot
of other pieces. But one thing's for sure. You needed
(35:36):
more out of your offense, and you've got some pretty
good component parts. So I think it would be wise
given what you've seen. And you can dismiss it to
Kelsey and Mahomes or whatever you want, but the guy
clearly was there and had a pivotal role in making
them as great as they were. So sit down, shut
up and stop crying.

The way tire buying should be. Well, it's official, Mike.
I looked and on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, the premiere episode
(00:52):
of Hard Knocks with the Jets has a rating of
one hundred percent certified fresh ten thousand reviews. They all
have it. It's the highest rated. It's the best thing
that's ever been put on television or the movies. On
Rotten Tomatoes, what's the fan response, No, no, no, no, no,
it's too much.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Damn Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's actually one hundred and two percent. It's almost it's.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Almost like he had executive produced it, like he was
Tom Cruise. Damn it. There will be no scene where
my head doesn't appear somewhere in there.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Look, we want we had the first episode on that
that was on while we were on the air. We
still Mike and I haven't seen it with audio, but
I'm telling you, the entire episode is Aaron Rodgers. There's
a little bit of Zach Wilson in it, there's a
tiny bit, but the entire episode is Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And what would you have a little bit of the secondary, righty?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Sauce Gardner? Yeah, well, but I mean because it had
to do with Aaron Rodgers, you had Sauce Gardner and
that's what well.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I mean watching him own Garrett Wilson and watch Aaron
Rodgers overshoot him because he didn't want to try to
challenge Saucio.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's okay, man, best he be in the NFL. I'm
okay with that.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You want to talk about that, that's the best hype
man you can get. Aaron won't even throw at you.
Look how good you are?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But look, what did I tell you before they started
Hard Knocks right with the Jets being on, this is
a chance and we're not going to give you a
lot of access to cutting players. And not that the
Jets are cutting players at this point.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You know they've they've cut a couple of Playerstreler Yeah, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
How this is going to end for him.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This was a chance for Hard Knocks to say, we
are going to kind of reboot this year, and what
do people want to see outside of Aaron Rodgers with
the Jets not just right? Yeah, yeah, you could have
stra But is the is the the battle for the
starting running back if Brees Hall can't come back, between
Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter? Is is that really compelling?
(02:49):
Is the seventeen defensive lineman that Robert Sala wants to
have is that really compelling? Or is Aaron Rodgers being
a Jet and getting a look inside this better than
everything else? It's Aaron Rodgers and what do we see
in the opening episode? Everything was Aaron Rodgers. It's a
brilliant move by Hard Knocks. We're gonna change the formula
a little bit because we can't when you cut a
(03:11):
wave if you cut away from Aaron Rodgers, something else
anybody watching is saying, I want to fast forward because
I want to get back to Aaron Rodgers. If it's
such an overwhelming yes, and I love the chats and
I love everything going on with it. I want to
see more Aaron Rodgers. More Aaron Rodgers throwing the football,
more of him throwing it into a basket, more of
him telling Zach Wilson, throw the ball here, telling Zack Wilson,
(03:31):
let me throw the pass for you, all of these
things I want. It's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, could you do it? Can you do it
for four or five episodes, which is what they're gonna
have to do it? I don't know. But for the
first one, I mean, what does anybody else really want
to see? Do you really want to say? Hey, they're
bringing in new strength and conditioning coaches now, even Live
Schreiber shows up in a helicopter and what does he do.
He walks right over to Aaron Rodgers and hey, we're talking.
We're talking. We're talking, We're talking. That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, and they have some great exchanges, right, Big fan
of yours, big fan of yours. Let's talk about surfing
and whatever else. It's great, it's fantastic. Right they get
to the choppa. You got guys yelling, so you talk
about timeless movies and scenes and quotes or whatever. It's
all finding good. But we've followed the like even the
most casual NFL fan has followed every step of the
(04:20):
Aaron Rodgers world. This isn't Hey, am I gonna watch
the next episode of Sex in the City, or am
I gonna check out this Hard Knocks thing that just
popped up here? Because I don't know it could be fun. No,
your football fans are what are coming in so we
all know the Aaron Rodgers stuff. Having it be a
love fest and deification of him, which is what he
(04:41):
kind of forced upon them to be part of it,
as did the Jets with all their Hey, we're not
doing the normal, normal way you guys have done business,
which is fine. Rebrand it, retouch it, whatever you need
to do. I know everything about Aaron Rodgers. I know
he's the happiest tourist in the world. We know that
he called the play for Zach Wilson. But it just
became this, all right, give me something else, man, I
(05:03):
know I don't have the sound on, but I was nauseated.
Come on, there's gotta be something else going on there.
Then everybody walking over.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
To kiss his eggs outraged by you. Why you really
wanted more? I want guys that I don't know about
and find out about the positions battle. No, you don't.
Come on, man, this is Aaron Rodgers. It's the biggest
story in the NFL. I've watched him for two bleep
in decades, right, but now you get to see him
as a jet It's all completely different.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, it's not. It's like if they're doing a deep
dive deep dive and you're and you're on a lie
detect machine and you've got to talk to me about
the two thousand and five draft night. Hey, and you
got to talk to me on record with the little
thing going off. You're under the lamp and sip of
Witz is interrogating you, going You're gonna get the needle
if you lie and you talk about the front office
(05:49):
or whatever. I'm interested. Otherwise it's a.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Lot of fake out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I love my life here and dude, fake out, lammy, lamb, lamb.
Look at me looking at the Hall of Fame. Statues,
I'm gonna be here one day, La la la beat it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
If that didn't work, Taylor Swift would not redo all
of her songs and send them out and people would
listen to them. Wait, I've seen Aaron Rodgers for you know,
twenty years. Yeah, but now he's at jet it's a
big story.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I've heard these Taylor Swift songs for the last ten
twelve years. But now they're new, and they've changed a
couple of lines, and and maybe the base line is
a little bit different. Oh, I gotta go buy that
and support Taylor's there's a market for that, There's a
big but it's the only market. Aaron Rodgers is gonna
be a story every single week in the NFL, every
Monday and Tuesday. Rogers is a story every Friday going
into the weekend. And that's gonna be rinse and repeat
(06:34):
all season long.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, sure, there's the man hate watching that comes with it.
And this is the first time you get to holarizing.
And I can't blame you know, artists that do the
re recording or live live albums to get through contracts.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, Aerosmith has another box set out. No, I think
you're lying that. Come on you you look it up.
Look it up right now. On I'm telling you, right now,
you look it up. There's no least other box set.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yes they did. I'm telling you right now. They're finally
getting back on tour. Steven's health is doing better. It
seems like some of the lost stuff, legal stuff has
been subsided a bit. But yes, they've got another box
set out. Joe Joe Perry just finished with this Hollywood Vampires.
It's it's a new Greatest Hits box set that just
(07:23):
came out. Let's see, let's see to release forty four
song Greatest Hits collection ahead a farewell tour.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
They haven't had any any any more hits to add
to their box set in the last twenty years.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I mean, how to four LP vinyl box.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean, come on, man, an't that There's no way
Taylor Swift I get she's changing music and changing everything.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And read and re recollecting the money that you know,
many feel was kind of ripped off when stuff went
and got sold behind her back. But that's a whole
other thing, the business side, and we've certainly seen that
petty Billy Joe whatever. But Aerosmith another live set going
back to Aaron Rodgers. It's the same old Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So you tell me what we're gonna get us. Hey,
so uh, we recorded Sweet Emotion back in nineteen seventy three.
It's been a big hit. But now we have a
new version of it called Sweet Promotion, and we're gonna
have that come out. So you want that because that's
got a little bit different lyrics and it goes sweet
Promote shine, no bushit that works.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah. You go through the track listening, same old song
and dance singles version.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Same old song in prance.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
We're changing that one too, Kats and Queen Dude looks
like a baby.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We're gonna do that one.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That's good. Now. I do have the Lullaby Aerosmith album.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It was very soothing, Hey, Metallica and Aerosmith, the Lula
We're going gonna give you that, yes, and the Ramones.
The Ramones All Lalla.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Was really good. The Black Sabbath one was fantastic. Don
it dune?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
How's Rogers going to pass a drug test if he
was hanging out with methan man?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
No, there is standing next to him, doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
He was standing next to live Schreiber too. Well, now
he's shat next to Live Schreiber. Now Aaron Rodgers is
going to be narrating everything like Live Schreiber. On this play,
I'm going to go deep to Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He was really proud of himself on that play. Call.
Let me tell you, hey, he.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Called a fifty seven yard He told Zack Wilson, throw
it deep to Maleik. Hey, it's the biggest play Zach
Wilson's had in three years.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Aaron Rodgers, I can't throw the ball fifty seven yards?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Stop, hey, one plank and pass. That's what Sala said.
That's what everybody was running around the sideline yelling quarterback
one now.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah. Well, not only that, but also head coach, because
you see the you see the video of Rogers on
the sideline when he's in a T shirt and sweatpants,
whether it's at practice or at the game, and he's
standing next to Robert Sala, and sorry, he looks like
the head coach, and Sala looks like the coach that
the head coach comes to visit with, Hey, how's everything okay,
(10:07):
how the player's doing. I know I was over with
special teams today and how's a defense looking? How are
these guys all right?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Great?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, Rogers looks like he's the head coach, and really,
technically he is the head coach of the offense and
Saala is the head coach of the defense. But i'd
be really, Rogers looks like he's the guy. He's the guy.
We're gonna ask it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Okay, let me ask Let me ask this of you though. Right,
you've watched some of the quarterback series on Netflix. Who
curses more Robert Sala or Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Ooh no, Mahomes. Mahomes just says the same thing over
and all.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, Well he goes like thirty he gets into a
space and he goes like yeah, like thirty times, they'll
say the same thing.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Don't blank and punch me, don't blake and punch me. Hey,
whatever you got to do, don't blake and punch me.
Don't blank and punch me. He blank and punch me.
That guy blanket punched me.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
The guy blank and punch me. He blank and punched me.
I said, don't blank and punch me, Max cross me.
Don't blank and punch me. He blanke and punch. Did
you see him blake and punch me? The guy blake
and punched me, and then he was hanging out with
this family. Yeah, maybe he was hanging out with his
family hours later. You know, he blank and punched me.
You're a good player, but don't blake and punch me.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't like it. I don't like it. It's not good.
It's not good. I gotta deal with a lot of
stuff off the field. I don't want to deal with this.
I don't want to do it. Don't blake and punch me. Okay,
don't let stop with the blanket punches.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I laughed with Sawa though. He was giving this the
speech in the locker room, and he dropped the F
bomb the first time, and then he went back to
the well and he said freaking yeah, and then immediately
went back to the F. But like, I forget and
I've already said it once, let's just stick with it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
He saw the camera guy who just gave him the Hey,
I'm the cursing. Nah, screw it. I'm just gonna say.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
If you're gonna say it, just just go with it.
Just run with it, buddy.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
There it is like, this is exactly what you want
out of heart if you're not gonna get the cut
because there's there's just not that. Sometimes when you do
something creative, you have to understand your audience, right, And
what do I always say about Hollywood? Hollywood now has
to change a fifty year way of thinking, where Hey,
we're gonna do these move movies. We think these are
gonna be hits. We're gonna put these out and people
(12:03):
are gonna come see it just because going to the
movies is a thing. No people have decided, Eh, I'm
not gonna go see that because there's something else better
that I can do. Hollywood's got to make sure that
now they put out movies that we want to see.
Does this mean more superhero movies like Blue Beetle with
Miguel You know, maybe that means that, but it means
that you gotta get people back to the theater. And
(12:25):
is Napoleon gonna get people back to the theater?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Is there? Are we really crying out for a Napoleon biopic?
As interested as I am in the Battle of Waterloo,
which I'm a nerd for that, I have no desire
to see. Really, I want to go see Waking Phoenix
for three and a half hours, is Napoleon. No, you
have to come. You have to put out stuff that
makes me go to the movie theater. So you gotta
put out Barbie and Oppenheimer and all this different stuff.
The same thing with Hard Knocks. Hey, can you keep
(12:48):
putting out the same formula every year of here's the players,
here's the position battles. You're gonna cry when this guy
is cut. Here's what they like to do off the field.
Here's some here's some colorful stories about guys. Here's a
player who doesn't know where the Pacific Ocean is. No,
you got to change it up once in a while.
And everybody wants to see Aaron Rodgers. And anytime you
don't show Aaron Rodgers on the Jets, you're giving people
(13:10):
an invitation to say I could turn the channel. No
stick with Aaron Rodgers. When everybody wants to see Rogers, Rogers, Rogers, Rogers,
it's out. That's that's that's your win right there. That's
the win for Hard Knocks.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Find your wins. I would say two things really quick.
Number one, Adam Devine, funny comedian. You've seen him everywhere.
You know who he is. Bumpy yeah, bumper and yeah
he's he's on Modern Family. All of those things. He
talked about the very thing with where comedy is, and
people misconstrued it because he talked about Marvel movies and
(13:42):
two hundred million dollar epics in theater that you know,
a mid range comedy doesn't get the same run that
it would have ten years ago. And he got all
sorts of flat because people just said, oh, he's attacking
Marvel movies like they ruined cinema. Okay, fine. The other part,
just for those outside of Aaron Rodgers, the best scene,
the best content with Sauce Gardner getting his degree, uh
(14:03):
and everything going on with that because you know you
and I celebrate that because look, go get your money.
You can always go back to school. And he was
hanging out with Nick van Exel talking about the season
ahead while you were at it too, So that was
good Nick the quick getting after it asking him about
the offense.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Hey, Nick, tell me about one two three Kancuon, tell
me how that worked out for you? That worked out well?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Because he was the guy teams of all time?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But that was said one two three Kancoon Nick Eddie Jones, Yeah,
Cedric Sebalis sure sure Into the show was still around.
They brought him back, They brought didn't came back. Well,
they should do that for showtime. Hey, let let's have tea, man,
let's have let's have the new showtime be like the
late nineties Lakers like before you know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I'm all in, Yeah, I'm there. Let us research and
write it. Frostburg, start contacting these guys. They got stories
for days.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Let's go twitter it out about a Fresco. Mike and
Swollen down The Jason Smith Show with My my best
friend Mike Harmon, heick on left. Coming up next, we
have another big story out of the NFL after today.
I have no doubt that one NFL superstar is gonna
get traded before the season begins. That's next right here,
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
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 iHeartRadio app TJ.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
The Jets ran all through Hard Knocks Tonight TJ Fox
Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the ti Raq dot Com Studios.
Major League Baseball Dodgers looking for another half game between
themselves and the Giants. They lead the Diamondbacks four to
(15:48):
two as they bat in the top of the ninth inning.
And look, you know, we talked about a little bit
with John Palmerrosi last hour of the show. We'll get
to Jonathan Taylor Thomas in a second, But it really
is unbelievable that the Dodgers, despite making no big changes
in the offseason, they decided to not spend this year
(16:09):
and they spend every year, right, they spend. Could they
be saving for Otani, sure, but usually, hey, there's guys,
we go out there. We got to get better. They
lost players off of last year, and they made some
nice moves to the deadline, right, but they couldn't make
that big one.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They couldn't get Ronado from the Cardinals. They couldn't. They
couldn't get Rodriguez from the Tigers. And here they are
still it doesn't matter, and they are three outs away
from being twenty games over five hundred. It depresses me
as a baseball fan going They could come into this
year being the most vulnerable they've been in years, and
still here we are in the not even the middle
(16:46):
of August and their twenty games over five hundred. Kershaw
hasn't pitched in a couple of months. They haven't had
Walker Bueller all year. Really, this may be the most
impressive regular season the Dodgers have ever had because they
have the top of their lineup hits, the top three
four guys in lineup hit, and everybody else is we're
(17:07):
trying to piece it together, and here they are. They're
just as good as they always are. Almost twenty games
over five hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, it is an absurdity of riches through the years.
Right the next prospect up, and we've highlighted a couple
of guys. When you talk about Corey Seger, you talk
about Cody Bellinger, Guys that were there moved on Seeger,
who's been fantastic and dominant for a long period of time.
This year, Bellinger one of the great reclamation projects that
(17:36):
we've seen in baseball, one of the great stories, come
back player of the year kind of stuff with what
he's done with the Cubs. And you know how much
it pains me to say that, but I like when
guys get that next chance and have that opportunity to
show that early success can be reattained and battle back
from the adversity. I don't know, there's some you know,
(17:57):
the human element at its finess there. But we watched
this this rotation, we watched the bullpen, We've watched the struggles,
and it doesn't matter because you got Freeman and Betts
anchoring it all. Martinez, you got three guys with just
ridiculous numbers to really always set just that bedrock formation
(18:18):
to it all. Add what Outman's been able to do
in stretches and just go on down. It really is remarkable,
you know, because we love the consistency continuity in organizations.
We highlight when we do our NFL you know, started
the season and all the way through, when you can
keep a GM, when you can keep a head coach
for more than a hot minute, which is very rare anymore.
(18:40):
This year we've got half the teams changed out their
offensive coordinators, so we have no idea what we're seeing.
It's like, hey, that guy was really good last year,
Well they changed the offense. How's it look now? Right?
All of that thing? The Dodgers, the names just keep
changing and it doesn't matter. Organizational excels continues. You get
(19:01):
guys like Lance Lynn sure, he fires up a couple
of gopher balls solo shots, and he's given you tons
of innings and he's happy and people are happy. And
Joe Kelly with the blank you over the weekend Detatis Junior,
who got screwed by Julio Rodriguez tonight. I don't know
if you saw that play too. Rodriguez pretended like he
(19:22):
didn't catch a ball at the wall and then he
held it up like, oh yeah, by the way, I
got this another Like Joe Kelly verbally said, blank you
Rodriguez did it again. But it's just that kind of
thing where you're watching it all come together and you
got a clubhouse that's healthy. And we talk about environments
(19:43):
to succeed, you know, we were talking about, you know, the
what's going on in Washington and Will again is that
it takes a little bit of unrest, but once you
settle in and once people know what's expected, you get
the best out of him and the Dodgers. I mean,
you can't say enough. And we're here in Los Angeles
watching it every night, and you know, even though Dodger
(20:04):
fans around the building every once in a while, they're
like you with the Mets, you know, every once in
a while, I just want to go shosh like I'm
hanging around in the WWE. It's still fun to watch Twitter.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
At how about a fresco Mike gets swollen down the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon again,
Dodgers three outs away. They just got another insurance run
Mookie Betts with an RBI single. They lead the Diamondbacks
five too as they bat in the top of the
ninth inning. Solve more in this game as continues again
three outs away for the Dodgers. Now, this other big
(20:37):
story in the NFL today, and it's been I don't
know why people seem to be dancing around this, but
Jonathan Taylor's getting traded. Okay, there's no doubt in my
mind he is going to be dealt today. The Colts
running back, who is very unhappy with his contract situation,
left the team to rehab away from the franchise. The
(20:59):
team tried to in this by saying, yeah, no, this
was the plan. He was gonna be around and not
be around. No, no, Jonathan Taylor is getting dealt because
there is no way back for him. After Colts owner
Jim Ersey decided to tell Jonathan Taylor, you are not important.
He's in the running for being the worst owner in sports.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's like, now, hey, that mantle is open because Daniel
Snyder's out of the league. I want to be known
as the worst owner in sports. This whole impasse with
Jonathan Taylor started a little bit when Taylor got a
new agent, and of course you get a new agent,
new agent wants to make his mark get a big contract.
And this is where everything with running backs started to
(21:39):
come to a head. Running Backs aren't getting paid. Taylor's
the next great running back to get paid, because we
just saw Saquon Barkley didn't get paid by the Giants.
But Taylor's had a better last couple of years. Barkley's
been a one year. Hey, I'm bouncing back. He's the
guy to set the market. There's a lot of pressure
on Taylor to be that person so other players and
(21:59):
run behind him coming up can get big contracts. So,
knowing that that's the case, when Taylor wants a new
deal and said he's holding out a camp, Jim Irsay
needs to understand that this is a guy we want
to keep around. This is not a guy we want
to piss off. This is not a guy we want
to actually trade. But instead, what does Ersay say last
week when the trade demand comes out? Well, if I
(22:21):
die tomorrow and Jonathan Taylor's not in the league, nobody
cares about us. How do you come back to the
team after your owner says that about you, after he
belittles your presence with the team. He has told you
you do not matter. And for someone who already is
pissed because they have the pressure on them for getting
a new contract, and you hear the owners say this
(22:42):
about you, there is no way I am coming back
to this team. I can't see Jonathan Taylor suddenly coming
back saying all right, because there's no more money coming
his way. Jim Irsay has said if you legal, league
doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know how you do that.
If you're Jim Irsay, there's a way to get around
it if you don't want to pay him, because nobody
wants to pay running backs. And that's a hard reality
(23:02):
that a lot of running backs have to get. But
you never want to make your best player feel like
you're irrelevant to the team. And yet Jim Ersay did that.
There is no way he comes back, and it's gonna
be a real ugly next couple of weeks and eventually
right before the season starts, because Ers is gonna want
to screw Taylor by trading him when he's got no
(23:24):
time to get ready and he winds up having a
bad year this year. Right before the season starts, he'll
trade Taylor to a desperate team who needs a running back,
and that's how it's going to go. But there is
no way this ends with Taylor being a cult again.
He's played his last down. It's just a matter of
what team is gonna pony up whatever for him, and
the Colts are gonna make that decision the better. Anthony
(23:46):
Richardson looks in the preseason, it looks like they want
to give him the gig. They're gonna think, we don't
need Taylor. We're gonna be quarterback driven. We can stay
really strong to our beliefs that we don't need to
sign him, and that's how it's going to go. It'll
be right before the season and Taylor's going to.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Get dealt I might see Kaream Hunt come walking in
that door. As the visits now are in the this
part of the season, look for Jonathan Taylor. You know,
like I take the dual pronged approach of all right,
we got to go to the pragmatism and look what
ersay said. Yeah, should you have a better bedside manner
(24:22):
in this process and recognize the volatility. Sure, But at
the same token, you're also saying, what the cold hard
truth of it is, we didn't dominate with you. You're good,
you're great. You're coming off an injury where you played
eleven games and we don't know how you are right
now coming off of surgery and what we can expect
(24:45):
this year. You've got one more year left on your
deal before we really need to worry about it. And
obviously Taylor wants to re up. He wants his security,
he wants his signing bonus, all of those things. We
understand those. But for Ursa to say what he did,
yeah's crass. Yeah, it's probably not what a lot of
the owners wish got out into the public. But he
(25:07):
said the quiet part out loud, and he said it
for them, So now he's the bad guy. He's just
saying what they all think behind the room. And also
when they all hold up the giant copy of a
CBA going you guys just sign this and ratify this
two years ago.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, but that's why you don't say the quiet part
out loud. That's why you're stupid for saying the quiet
part out But are you stupid, right, yes, Johnnick, you are.
You've alienated your superstar player. You've alienated in the best
running back in the NFL. How do you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Well, you could argue he's the best running back. We
could have that debate if he's available to me eleven games.
He's not the best running back in the NFL. He
hands down right, His availability is a concern at this point.
So why would Jim irsay, go, you know what, let's
let's rip up that contract and let's extend you now
coming off an ankle surgery and coming off of a
(25:55):
down year.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh, you don't have to extend him, but you could
just make it seem like you love him and that
he's a big part of your future and let's have
this conversation. And from the field, this was what he
did was just stupid because all he did was piss
off Jonathan Taylor, who now publicly was embarrassed. So you
know what, you know, I can't come back until either
you apologize or give me money. Neither of these things
are happening from Jim, irsay.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
That's the problem. Though. Sometimes folks get too far out
in the how important they are to anything and everything,
and someone's got to hit the reset. Should that have
been done kindler and behind much more kindly and behind
closed doors? Sure, Unfortunately you can't unring that bell. And
for Jonathan Taylor, his age and his family and everybody else,
(26:37):
there's a reality to what's there In terms of Jim
Mersey is not going to trade him. I don't see
it happen at all. I think he'd rather just have
Jonathan Taylor on the sideline to prove his point. And
I think that's part of the public comment.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I you know, you know what in the past I
would say yeah, But in the end, Hey, he's an
asset and he's withering away, it's not helping anybody. Let's
trade him. We're not and he's not coming back to
the team next year. We're not going to keep him.
He's going to be an ex cult. Why not trade
him now when his value is pretty high.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I hope if he doesn't come back by week ten,
he doesn't get the year of a crude time. So
it's up to him to decide you want to play
football or not.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, but you want to be able to get something
for him. You want to be able to get the
best deal you can for me. And if you trade
him before the season, there will be a team desperate
enough to say, Okay, here's a second round pick that
curtain turn into a first round pick if he winds
up meeting certain expectations. Again, you're talking about a guy who, Yeah,
if we're arguing he's the best running back in the NFL,
there's going to be a team that wants.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
To give up for him.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But if he sits out a whole year, people go, well,
I don't want him now he sat out of here,
I'm gonna get somebody from college or somebody else who's played.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
But you're also underestimating you, Mercy. That's the part of
this that you're missing. I agree.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I wouldn't say.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I'm missing it, Bob, I would sayheartedly, I'm in full
agreement in terms of right, this breakup is done. You
want out, he wants out, Go figure out what the
proper compensation is and go from there. I'm just going
from what we've seen of Jim Ers through the years,
does rationality seem to be always number one priority for him? No,
(28:18):
the guy hung a banner forgetting to an AFC title game,
for crying out loud Twitter.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And how about a Fresca XI. How about a Fresca
Mike hat swollen dumb. I'm telling you he's gonna get traded.
He's got and I will text you when that happens, going, Hey,
look what happened, buddy. Look at what Jim Mercy did, and.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
They that he's gone against form. I mean someone locked
him in a closet like he was Jerry Jones when
he wanted to draft Jouneyman's.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Or he may just think I traded him in fantasy,
but I wound up doing.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
It for real.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh, I thought it was just fantasy.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Hit this button? What is this the owners Fantasy League? Yeah,
hit just button Taylor.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Guys with a whale, he would be getting paid.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
No, that's right, that twenty million dollars. That was really
cool when people photo shot him into a whale costumes.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, how about the banner they hung of it Lucas Oil.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Sure they're gonna hang a banner for Anthony Richardson if
he wins the starting job one starting job in preseason.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Anthony Richardson is going to be good. It sucks for
him that he's got nobody behind him.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dude, I'm telling you, the better he looks, the worse
that is for Jonathan Taylor, because the better because there'll
be quarterback driven And it's not like they want to
pay Taylor already when they have no idea what they're
gonna get. But if Anthony Richardson looks good, it's gonna be. Yeah,
we really don't need a weekend trade.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
But they're so dumb by not bringing Jonathan Taylor, not
paying him because they're only hurting Anthony Richardson by doing this.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You have a rookie quarterback running back, I agree with you.
But if he plays in the preseason when other teams
are playing their backups and Anthony Richardson only knows one
way to play, played QB one Zach will stop when
when you play rookies only know one way to play
in the preseason, right, their first year, they played just
as hard as they play in college, right because they
(29:57):
don't know any better because they got to impress everybody.
The veteran. Hey, we're taking some plays off here. We're
not going crazy. A lot of the stars don't play,
so it's easy for Anthony Richardson to look great. In
the preseason, when defenses start getting a little bit more
sophisticated and stars start playing, that's when rookie quarterbacks kind
of hit the wall. But they come back to earth.
But in the preseason, if he plays and he's running
(30:18):
all over the field, and he's dropping dimes and making
big plays with his legs, it's gonna be Yeah, I done.
This guy's rookie of the year, be offensive player of
the year. We don't need Jonathan Taylor. Yeah. Well, Anthony
Richardson is all we need, trust me. That's but they're
dopes for taking away his number one weapon.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Well, let me give you a little bit of insight
that we got from Shane Steichen today and his Q
and a quote, do you think you'll practice during camp? Stiking? Yeah,
i'd like to see that. We'll see how it all
plays out again once again. Once he's cleared, he'll be
out there. Question is this the original injury, the original
(30:56):
of surgery, or did he do something else? Quote from Stiking, Yeah,
he's got the ankle. It's the ankle. Yeah, it's like
he's Tommy two times from Goodfellas. I gotta get the papers,
get the papers. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tirag dot com studios. And
we had this story out of the NFL today and
I thought was really really interesting. Apparently Washington Commanders players
are not happy with new offensive coordinator Eric the Enemy
(31:36):
because he is too intense. And the players went to
head coach Ron Rivera saying, hey, could you get him
a dial it back a little bit. He's a little
too intense. He yells a lot, he's in our face.
And Ron Rivera, talking to the media about this today,
said hey, you got to listen to him. He's got
some stuff to teach. You have some things to learn. Now.
(31:57):
I knew the reaction right away was going to be,
this is why Eric the Enemy's not a head coach.
The players don't like him. Hey lied to us in
Kansas City and Mahomes was saying out, great, I like
to die. He's good. No, Eric penemy. Let's just stop
for a second, okay, because I know one thing. I
know one guy is walking into practice every day with
(32:19):
two Super Bowl rings from the past four years, and
I know one team is walking in having underachieved for
the last six I think you should listen to the enemy,
even if he's getting on you a little bit, because
players either need a hug or they need a kick
in the ass, right, that is usually what happens. Some
players respond to you to hug. Sometimes you need a
(32:41):
kick in the ass. This commander's team needs a kick
in the ass because everything you've gone through there's been
I get that it was a very difficult last couple
of years, and playing and playing and practicing in the
shadow of everything going on Daniel Snyder is in fun.
But you've underachieved. There's talent on that team, and you've underachieved,
and yeah, you need a kick in the ass. And
(33:02):
it's been my experience that anytime you say I don't
need to be talked to like that, I don't need
a kick in the ass, that's exactly when you need
to kick in the ass. It's not another time twin
you say I don't need this. No, that's exactly when
you need a kick in the ass all the way true.
There's never been a time where I was like, you know,
I needed that. I needed that kick in the ass.
That was a good thing. Whenever you think you don't
(33:22):
is when you do. And the absolute truth is the
Commanders need something like this because you're looking to change
the culture, you're looking to reverse what's going on. You
have some talent on that team. It is a very
difficult NFC East. You want to finish last, keep doing
what you're doing. Listen to Eric the enemy, as much
as you want to talk about it was a play
call of different things. The one thing he has done universally,
(33:43):
all the players say the same thing. He puts me
in a position to succeed, and he puts us in
a position to be the best football players we can be.
And that's part of what coaching means. So yeah, listen
to the enemy. If you're the Commanders, suck it up
and do what he says. If it's not working after
the first three four weeks and things are and morale
is really bad, okay, I got it, and maybe you
(34:03):
want to say something and figure it out then, But
now it's the summertime. Man, listen to what the guy's doing.
He's trying to create a culture.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, I think I go back to when my kids
were in grade school. I'd always have people talking about
how they were jockeying for the nice teacher, right. They
wanted everybody to tell them how pretty they were, how
smart they were, how great their printing was, and everything else. Like,
at some point, they've got to give you some brass tacks.
You didn't write a complete sentence, you didn't you colored
outside the lines, whatever the case was. It's like you
(34:32):
need that earlier in life, so as you go through
jobs and everything else. So you want people to be
honest with you. I think right, and to a point,
not to cruelty. But the reality is you need to
be coached up. You hit it on the head with
talking about the the change of culture that you're trying
to bring in. How do you do that? You bring
in a guy that's got the pedigree. You get the
(34:54):
guy that's got the pelts on the wall with a
couple of rings he can pass around in that first
meeting you one of these you gotta work hard, and
I'm gonna be really hard on you. And that's the
way it works, you're either in or you're out right now,
I mean, that's it. You've got to get complete, a
committal to what you're doing. And Ron Rivera's you know,
(35:14):
he's got no place to get in Eric the enemy's way,
Cause my guess is in all the change and everything
going on, he's probably in that middle period of like,
all right, once we get settled. If this doesn't work,
Eric's taken over, or if he's not, somebody else will.
So you kept him around while you changed a lot
of other pieces. But one thing's for sure. You needed
(35:36):
more out of your offense, and you've got some pretty
good component parts. So I think it would be wise
given what you've seen. And you can dismiss it to
Kelsey and Mahomes or whatever you want, but the guy
clearly was there and had a pivotal role in making
them as great as they were. So sit down, shut
up and stop crying.
