(00:50):
If today is any indication, Michael, you and I should
have had some kind of skirmish on the field earlier today,
you and I throwing punches at each other before being separated,
because that seems to be the theme of the day
in the NFL. No one can escape it. It's hot out.
I get it. You and I should have fought today.
We we should have done a solid and done that
and then coming and done the show.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, I mean we did a little of that in
our back and forth, you know, prep of hear some stories.
Here's some verbal barbs over the ineptitude and pathetic nature
that is the Jets offensive line. Stop.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Stop everything that we should have.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Met in the middle somewhere six day over.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
There's still time. Stop. Listen.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Look, I can get in a car right now.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know, listen, you guys, I just want you to stop. Yes,
did we find out today the Jets didn't have a
great practice and the offensive line wasn't great? Yeah? Were
they missing three starters who didn't practice today? Yeah? Would
any team in the NFL, even the Chiefs, would any
team in the NFL trade their problems for the Jets problems?
(01:53):
Of course they would. Jets, what are your problems?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
What are the Chiefs problems?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, we're trying to figure out what the Jets. Well,
we're trying to figure out our tax. We have three
or four guys, we're rotating in and out. What are
the problems? Do you have none really yet? None? Really yet? None? Oh? Okay,
then well all right, that's it. That's the Jets problem.
They're trying to figure who their tackles are. Yet it
looks like every day And I get it's part of
the attention of Hard Knocks that, oh, the Jets had
(02:17):
a bad practice on the offensive line. Yeah, you know what,
half the league had bad practice on the offensive line today.
That's gonna just make the Super Bowl all that sweeter,
Mike Carbon But every team, they would trade their problems
cite unseen for the Jets problems. Now we would trade
that problems.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, I mean it always comes back to, I mean
what I've been preaching on this show and long before.
Show me the team that has five offensive linemen that
they feel comfortable going to Week one with, and I'll
show you a winner. I'll show you a team that
has an opportunity for greatness right now for your Jets.
I mean that was part of Hard Knocks Episode two,
which I've known you've seen three times Robert Sala talking
(02:54):
about problems against Carolina. Now we're watching it and we
just keep getting update after updated how bad it is.
And yes, I stipulate to the fact that you had
multiple offensive linemen not practice today. However, however, the show
is today. The practice was today, and everybody was fighting
(03:15):
mad and part of it was because their offensive line stink,
which means the quarterback's going to start cursing at the
guys that are out there, maybe cursing the guys that
couldn't make it onto the field today, and it's going
to start spilling over because everybody's tired of this ruse
that we call the preseason.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It doesn't matter. It does spens in August. Hey, you
played like you practiced, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Don't go trying to steal the rocks quote. If you're
going to do it, put some probys, put something behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It doesn't matter. Yes, did all teams have? Show me
a team where at the end of a practice a
coach can say, hey, we practice great in every facet
of the game today. How if the defense practice is great,
that means the offense didn't practice great. If the offense
practiced great, that means the defense didn't practice great.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I want to coach to just go to the podium
and go, you know what, we had a good stalemate today.
We'll get after it again.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
We had a good step, we threw a couple of touchdowns,
we stopped a couple of times. No, then you're upset
that neither side was good, and neither side stood out today.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's I mean, you're feeling pretty good today.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Trust me, every every team would trade their problems for
the Jets. And I'm not saying they trade their rosters.
But what's Kansas City's problem? Okay, we're redoing our wide
receiver room again. Is well, that didn't exactly exactly, but
you know, hey, you're talking about, Hey, do we have
the right mix again? That's a concern. Can we run
the football like we did in the past, That's going
to be a concern. Can we trust? But checko are
(04:48):
are are we going to be able to do that?
Those are a couple of those are right right away?
Two more problems than the Jets have right right away.
All are the more problems than the Jets have. So yeah,
any team would trade their problems. We have three or
four offensive tap we're trying to figure out who the
two guys are that are going to be there the inside.
We have two Pro bowlers at right and left guard.
So we're feeling pretty good about that.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, you can't clone.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I wish, Hey, they can only pick up so much
for the well, at least maybe we can, maybe we
can maybe doctor Oz the guy with the jetsamentalist is
figured out a way to clone people. And then you
watch and see we have five Anthony Munos's starting along
the offensive.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The only thing you'd get out of that is like
third rate offensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It would be like multiplicity when every time they cloned
Michael Keaton, he was a little bit worse than the one.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, a little bit dumber, a little bit less on
top of things, no question about it. A giraffe, Well
there's that tool.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You know what could happen?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Otherwise you end up down down the road of like
in Batman versus Superman, and you got Luther who finds
the kryptonite and he builds that monstrosity that you know,
just stakes a terrible villain.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Now let's get into because this is this. We did
have a ton of stuff today, A ton of skirmish, right,
skirmish is always a big word. It's a big word
because everything We had fights all over Prey. Yesterday, Mark
Andrews body slammed somebody during a joint practice. Today. Max
Crosby was going at it with Cam Akers and he
was talking smack after it was over. When they had
(06:18):
their joint practice, Matthew Stafford says, every time Crosby's within
five feet of me, he's yelling sack, sack, sack, because
you know a lot it hit the quarterback. And these
joint practices, like we're seeing the Dallas Cowboys had had
a big uh skirmish at practice today that that that
almost got out of control. Look, one of the Jets
coaches had to go to the hospital because he was
trying to break up, you know, a bit at the
(06:39):
joint prere.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The hell out of there trying to hell out. That's
a bad job.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
By blaming the guy who got hurt, Yes, and tried
to do something as men tried to help it, don't dissipate.
He tried to help, He tried to All of this happened.
And here's the thing is I have a solution for
all of these things because these are all stupid, right,
these are well, whenever you're fighting at practice, it's stupid.
And and you look, I get it. During a game,
(07:05):
when you haven't hit somebody, it's a game, it's the
other thing I understand. But during practice it's stupid. And
it's really simple because why do you get to that
point where you're ready to just thump somebody on the
other team because you're practicing in the absolute god awful
worst heat of the year, which is the middle of August.
And I don't care what side you come down on
(07:26):
as far as climate change goes. The planet is getting hotter, right,
The planet's got there. There's no debating that the planet
is getting hotter. And so summers are hotter now than
they've ever been. Look here in La I told you
by the time the Olympics get here in twenty twenty eight,
it's gonna be ninety degrees every day. It's gonna be
ninety degrees every day. There's a hurricane coming to Los Angeles.
I know this weekend. I know it's it's look, it's
(07:48):
everything is look the world, the globe is getting hotter, right,
But let's keep this about foot, keep it about football.
Is that would it really kill you to have a
couple of night practices, because that's honest. What has people
with such short fuse? You go out there and you
are sweating your ass off every single day, and I
know that it's not nearly as much as it was
(08:08):
because of the new CBA the last couple of times,
and there's no more to a day practices but would
it kill you to have one practice at night? Hey,
it's gonna be nice. It's cool out at night. We
can work on things because when you practice so much
during the day, especially that it's hotter than it's ever been.
And I don't think teams are taking that into account.
There's more fights now than they've ever been, and that's
a big reason because it's bleeping hot. Man, it's hot
(08:31):
every day. And not only is it hot, it's oppressively hot,
and it's hotter than it was. And when that happens,
you show me somebody who can be that hot and
can have a really cool temperament and understand what's going
on and focus and play football. No, you can't. When
I'm hot, I can't think. I'm like, if I don't
get a drink right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna just explode.
I gotta get a diet coke, diet coke, diet coke.
(08:54):
So yeah, I mean, would it kill you once in
a while to Hey, let's have a nighttime practice. Let's
practice at night. Why do we do that?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I appreciate it. That's that's good. According to several climate sites,
the Earth's temperatures risen by an average of one point one
four degrees fahrenheit per decade since eighteen eighty. So it's
always been hot, Jason, It's always been hot.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's and I appreciate that it's getting a hurricane coming
to La. We got hurric hurricane.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
But just like you know, the the full moon will
turn people a little bit crazy or give them an
excuse to do something crazy. For some it will turn
them into werewolves.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But the idea is that we know that happens. Man,
that'd be pretty good. I kind of would want to
see that. Have you just want to see that? I want,
you know, I want big globe. Look did you ever
read the Weekly World News?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The Jets had a night practice. What happened? Garrett Wilson's
a werewolf man? He was taking bites out of everybody.
I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Now he's taken up for the mantle from Teen Wolf
two and Jason Batem not to be confused with the
TV show because that added much darker tone to it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
No, no, no, no, no, I know, and I like Teen Wolf.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I was good. I'm not going to say it's not.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I don't love to have been in a basketball game
where a player turns into a werewolf and then he
turns into a great player.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Like that's a but but I mean, that's what I mean.
We got to stay with the movies because they kept
it light. Yeah, they were interpersonal conflicts. But the other the.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Show do you like Goof? Do you like the other
girl who was in the you know, in the play
and everything else? Say that this early why Boof is
her nickname? That was a name Boof, They called it Boof.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That was so Anyway, the point I'm making is that
it's always been hot, and so we can ration. But
it's hotter now.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But it's hotter now, it's it's not that much. It's
not it's hotter one degree. It's hotter. It's hot. It's
an average of one degree across. But you have you
have certain cities where it's hotter in the summer because
it is, but it's hot.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's always hot.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Richard Daily, mayor of Chicago thirty five years ago, was
talking about cooling centers, going, what do you want me
to say?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's hot?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, we have air conditioning, but you can't have air
conditioning on the field. So how about you just have
how about you just have a couple of prey either way,
and you can you could still have some stuff at
night and not have to worry about all the fights,
because if it was hot today, you're.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Still going to fight. When they're opposite team're still going
to be hell out of This is all the pent
up frustration of the guy lined up across in their
normal team practices that they've been told you can't beat
the hell out of this guy because we got to
get through the season together.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We don't care if you take a swing at Max Crosby.
You know what, He's not your problem the three days.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Not when it's a hot, not when it's at Listen,
Lowly tell you this.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Just give everybody ice cream. That's I mean, that's where
you're at.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
You if you walked into the studio and I said
to you right now at seven twelve at night, you hey,
Oh by the way, first picture of the Dodgers was
seven ten fifty seven Clayton kurse sevent he he's feeling okay,
got it? Uh? If you came into the studio tonorw
you'd walk in. You've send in your air conditioned car.
You come in air conditioning studio. You would sit down,
I'd say, hey, guess what, man, we decided to of this.
(12:00):
You know, we have your credit card on file. We
ordered fat salas for everybody. It's gonna be like one
hundred and twenty bucks. Now, you'd be upset, right, but
you would be well, we got to figure this out
and we talk about it there. You would be upset,
but there'd be calm, cool reasoning. Now, let's just say
you took the same ride up here without the air
conditioning on, and your windows were rolled all the way
up and there's no air conaw a suit and there's
(12:23):
no air conditioning in the studio, and all you did
all day was move stuff up and downstairs. That's all
you did was move stuff up and moves up. Chat
and then you come in here and you're sweating your
ass off, and you come sit down and I go, hey,
we just ordered fat salas and we use your credit
card bands like one hundred and twenty bucks. You would
start throwing punches. You would be the Tasmanian devil in
(12:44):
this studio because it was so hot. That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, I'm not gonna say that. I mean, you might
not be verbally assaulted, but I'm smart enough to know
even with.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Now when it's hot, Na, you would get out of control.
I could see it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I no, I mean, look, you misjudged me and mischaracterized
me and I got a relationship all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You're old Season one of the Bear You're all richie.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean, who's a bad choice.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You could solve a lot of those problems just by
having a couple of practices at night, and then you
have way less people wanting to fight.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Max Crosby if you had one of those personal fans
attached to your helmet. Do you think you might have
gone after Cam Akers.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Don't punch me, dude. Just don't punch me. Don't touch me,
dud don't punch me. Don't punch me. Hey, hey, Hey,
it's going Don't don't punch me, man, don't punch me.
Don't punch me, dude, dude, Crosby, just watch the punch.
Don't bunch me man.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
So is he gonna be the next guy to fight
Logan Paul because it seems like all he wants to
do is getting scrapes.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know, I didn't know Max Crosby had the strong
tattoo game that he did. Because we need this press conference.
They talking about the fight with cam Akers. He's got
no shirt and I'm like, he's got no spot on
his body that isn't covered with a tattoo.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, I mean, you haven't seen me shirtless. You have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
No, I don't think you're You're not like him, though
I've seen you with I've seen you in short sleeves.
I've seen you in short sleeves, Max Crost, there's not
now any man.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm a businessman, which means I can't have the sleeves
like that, you know, trying to do the show with you.
I'm been told that that wouldn't be good for business.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You're not so.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I mean the tattoos are all covered up. You're not
met party time.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Max Crosby needs to have big years and signed big contracts.
He's got a four tattoos. I mean just if he
didn't pay, if he'd ever got a tattoo, he probably
would have about five or six more million dollars in
the bank.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Tight shirt? What's an average tattoo? Run?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Do you want a good one or a bad one?
It's got to be good, it's got to be an
NFL got to be a good one. Give me a bad?
Are we doing like a whole piece or just a
little part?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Would I would like a nice piece like you know
the guillotine logo that I showed you from the Afghan
weeds thing like what would that run me to be done? Well?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Oh gosh, I'm going to say, if you go to
an actual talented artist that takes his time, especially with
the freehand, you're looking at two sessions, probably almost around
two grand fifth.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
For like a six by six touches six inch by
six touches exactly, he would have like five million more dollars.
Or do you want tattoos. What would you rather have?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, he made his choice. He made his choice. His
body is his temple, his body is his business. And
he wanted to show off the tattoos. You had a
kid's head up there. You had all sorts of slogans.
I'm in it. It's a rich tapestry.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Don't talk big Mac on Jason's lower back, and a
cost that'll punch me.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Don't punch me. Hey, I actually went to McDonald's tonight
and did not get a big mac chalk who walk
in sandwich and and and three chicks even really go?
Then I did? I did, And I came in and
I had chocolate chip cookies. She said, oh you got
I said yeah you yeah, seriously, Yeah, come on, man,
no I want one. I said, okay, go grab one.
He goes back, Oh no, I changed my mind. And
(16:07):
he's eating watermelon like out of just He's just eating
just to cut the watermelon in half. It's just like
spooning into the middle of the watermelon, eating it. The
watermelon's a bowl for itself. But Jason, I thought you
had actual cookies. That was McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
McDonald's cookies are pretty good. They're pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I had a bit of a moment today, Mike
where I realized I had to have a bit of
reflection where I said, am I really too over the
top with the Jets and the Super Bowl and everything
else going on? I am I really over the top?
And I don't mean today where oh, the offensive line
didn't look good and after practice Aaron Rodgers had to say, Relax,
(16:51):
the offensive line is fine. I get every day the
Jets are a story on page news every single day.
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Now, I mean he's going to day It's all good.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Relax, everything is all good. You would your Bears would
trade your problems for the jets problems, and Sid, I'm
telling you, Jets only have one problem.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Hey, what have you heard about the Bears?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
We got to figure out who the offensive tackles are wet,
we got we got four to.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Figure out how much to build justin fields for MVP three.
Nobody's talking about the tackles. Nobody's talking about anything on
either side.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
A new world all about the m VP and justin
fields and a tiny bit of you know, they may
build a new park somewhere that may be moving at
some point. We get that Yearly story as well. The
Bears might move. The Bears could move.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The Bears, well, they should.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's kind of like become the the the Yearly. Hey,
if if Team X doesn't get the stadium deal they want,
they're gonna move to Los Angeles, and that's become the Bears.
The Bears could move to Arlington All the Bears could
move to somewhere else in Illinois. The Bears could move here.
The Bears can move to Champagne Urban. They could move anywhere.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I said Champagne Urbana like I was trying to be funny.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh okay, Justagne otherwise, you know for that, I know
it's not good for business. I know.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I just said because I felt like that's.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Kind of what they deserve to. Although they need to
hire Jim Leonard. I mean that's a nice little addition
to the staff.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Well, their secondary will be very good by adding Jim Leonard,
and then they'll be pretty good too.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
They got no question about it. Yeah, And then look
that the Bear should move because then they don't have
to worry about their fields sucking because of the park
district and the number of tractor pulls that can be
had ahead of a Sunday home game. But I digressed.
The answer is, yes, you are over the top, and
I say you should be, but but you actually it's not.
(18:45):
You know, it could all be false, hope, But at
least on the surface, everything points to the Jets having
a successful season. Now, given history, given the football gods,
the answer means something catastrophic is gonna have it along
the way. Uh to flip this on its head, and
we will be here at a chronicle every minute of it.
But for now, you can try to dismiss the tackle position.
(19:09):
You can try to talk about Hey, it's just practice,
it doesn't matter. That's all good. And I like when
you're hyped and you're feeling good. I'm your best friend.
I want you to be happy. But then when your
team sucks, just like mine does where we're you know, kindred.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Spirits that buddy, I thank you for that, But look
at hope's a dangerous thing.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Though I was I was the first guy to tell
you thing as well as anybody.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Look, I was the first guy to tell you I
like the Bears to win the division this year. I mean,
everybody's going crazy about the Lions, but Bears made a
lot of improvements. Man, watch out and not just because hey,
hey they you know every pass Justin Field's throw in
for a sixty five yard touchdown this past weekend. But
the Bears made a lot of improvements. Man, they did
a lot of good things in that.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I mean, you know, my feeling on the passes and
getting quarterbacks credit.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Doesn't matter, is it an right?
Speaker 5 (19:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
No, I know, one hundred percent. Just it was funny
and the narrative of the plays until people saw the plays.
Now they still have hype for Justin Fields, but you
recognize the receivers have said passes really had to do
a lot of work to make it happen. Not to
mention on one of them, you had no fewer than
two offensive linemen fifteen yards down the field where in
(20:22):
season there's a flag flying from somewhere to bring it back.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Here's why I believe that I'm a little bit over
the top now and maybe maybe I got to question
myself a little bit. And sometimes they always say that, Hey,
you know, children are the ones who always will They'll
never they'll never pull the wool over your eyes. I'll
always they'll tell you the truth. So today's true.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
They're all a bunch of lifers.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Wow, I mean I like that kids.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
They just like the children make of the children. They're
pure of heart.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Now, apparently someone's oldest took the car without asking last night,
went in a big joy ride to the day.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
She has her own car. She she can do whatever
the house she wants. Hey, look, I'm just saying the
little Jason Smith, he stole a mailbox for crying out.
Don't tell me about children.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I steal if I put it back? I yeah, I
didn't steal.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
If I put it back, did you displace it and
take it?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Displacing is a word? Yes, Displease you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Have possession of said mail box?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
How long?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
How long do I doesn't mean when I have possession
of it?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Eight seconds?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Where do you get eight seconds from.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Well eight out Perry movie.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Maybe it's ten, maybe it's ten hours.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, can you get to eight seconds? Riding the bull?
You get credit the sucking.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
You touch somebody else's mail, you're done.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
No, No, the mail, not the mail, not their mail
in there. You don't know that there.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Wasn't mail in there was no mail. I checked, there
was no mail again.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I mean that's a federal crime part too.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
There was no mail, not on a Sunday, but on
a mail lot, and you opened it.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You got multiple felony.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No mail on a Sunday. Yes, there is no trust
you about anything. Nope, nope, not on a Sunday, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I got to change all my credit cards. That'd be
random sandwiches and Jets merchandise ordered.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So today Pam and I and Zoe are out at Pavilions.
We're grocery shopping, and you and Frostburg send me the
video of this guy online who put this video up
of himself running through his bag a huge backyard, running
through his backyard with like a makeshift. He looks like
green Man, right, So he's dressed like Green Man. Everything's
(22:30):
in green, like green nyl on everything, and he's got
shoulder pads and a green Jets helmet on. And he
runs around the corner of a set of bushes and
he runs towards the camera and he starts screaming about
the Jets and Dalvin Cook in the Super Bowl. So
you sent me this. It was just some random video
on Twitter and let's play a little bit of it
for you, just so you get exactly what this video
(22:50):
is all.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
About, actually your burner account. I don't know why you're
trying to say it's somebody else.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's not me. But play a little bit of it
so we can hear a little bit of the of
this guy.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
They're not try where.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I won a Super Bowl since nineteen sixty nine, David
Dumble their position, but now not down like trucks in
halfs that cap where well in a Super Bowl, not
dead stopping us.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
A red Rogers.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Stated, Okay, so this is the guy's les and he
goes for another like ten seconds and he starts cursing.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Right, he's just mad. Frank got all the thunder.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
So maybe he's trying to be Frank the Tank for
the Jets. That's what he's trying to do. He's trying
to be I think.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He saw the perks and freebies and everything, and he's
trying to get on that gravy train.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Frank the Tank is going to minor league ballparks and
doing appearances. I could be the Jets Frank the Tank.
So this guy shows up and he does he's just yelling.
He's wearing like makeshift football uniform and he's yelling all
this right. So I'm watching the video and I'm watching
on my phone because because Pam and Zoe are are.
I forget what I we were in, but I was
like I was around the corner for them. And I'm
(23:57):
watching this video and I'm listening to it and I'm
laughing thing and Zoe comes.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Off their position.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
As he's breathing very heavy. It's you. So I'm watching
this and I'm laughing and Zoe and you can hear
it because I have the volume up so I can
hear it in the store and and I hear it,
and Zoe comes over and she hears it and she's smiling.
She was over. She goes and I go, I go what.
She goes, Oh my god, Dad, is that you doing something?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yeah? My cook is in house. Is it cap where
a souper bow?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And I said no, I said, wait, that sounds like
look at this guy. And she goes, oh no, I
couldn't see it. I just I just heard it. I
thought it was you, and I thought I thought, like
Justin or Mike sent you something they didn't put online.
I go, no, that's some guy in his backyard, just
screaming about the Chits. And then I thought, oh wait
(24:54):
a second, there's there's something pretty familiar right there. As
soon as I said, it's just some guy his backyard
screaming about the Jets, and I thought, if you replace
backyard with radio, that's me. I mean outside, just replaced
backyard with radio, that's me. So maybe maybe I'm a
little bit too crazed about this, a little bit too
over the top. The fact that my own daughter comes
(25:15):
up to is that you Dad, that you. It sounds
like you.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It could be you. Yeah, I have some content ideas
for football. We'll kick around. When next week convene, I'll
start writing on the whiteboard. But no, I like the positivity.
It's it's an exciting time. I like that that Zoe
recognizes that, you know, you're on the lunatic fringe of
this kind of stuff. My daughter's recognize it too.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
The half that cab in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I love how out of breath the guy gets.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He ran, he ran what about fifty yards?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
He did run about fifty yards before he starts telling
him running around the corners.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, it's a lot of property.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
This is one of those guys you go, boy, who
is that guy? He's going to turn out to be
like the biggest tech hedge fund guy. Oh I got
more money than Steve Cohen.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Oh or he just lives at a place where land
is cheap still exists. All of us in our career
were jaded by what the southern California housing and land
prices have gone to us. But uh, there there is
opportunity out there. I mean, you could have a backyard
somewhere Smith where you could put the Jets logo out
(26:28):
there if you really wanted to. I mean, you could
do it on your lawnmower and get that done.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh so wait, so Waite Frostburg's telling me that that
that that's actually you doing messing with me.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
You know, I didn't know who that was. No, who
was it it was? It wasn't just again not cheap,
that's New York City. This guy's backyard is humongous.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, who is it?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
He's one of the biggest handicappers in the world, Stuart
Finer is really he's a barstool, now, is Herit is that?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So that absolutely he's taking Frank the Tanks gig for
because that's the take is he's at bars. That guy's
a big handicapper, and he's got that kind of house
and that kind of property, and he's dressed up as
green Man running through his backyard screaming about there you go.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
He is the source. You could dial him up now
my two team parlay my life.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I did not know that. I just thought it was
some dude. Really, I just thought it was some guy
because you said some stupid ass videos like that all
the time.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I'm not known as the source claiming to be the
basis for the al Pacino and Two for the Money,
the Great movie with Matthew mo It was based.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Off of him. It was based on it well because
McConaughey was the star, right, and then al Pacino like
tried to bring him his boss, like he tried to
bring him as like, hey, come on and then be
a handicap here with me. Okay, because I don't think
I ever saw the movie all the way through.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
No, it's pretty good movie. I'm a big fan of it.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Okay. You just don't get a backyard like that in
New York. No, that's what That's what I said. I
thought whoever it was had a lot of money, because
it looks like it's it's landscaped. It's huge.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I mean you can mow the lawn.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah no, but no, but you could just tell it
looks pretty big. It looks like one of those Oh boy,
there's a you know, there's a house with columns on it.
That that's what it looks like. Hey, just out of
just out of frame as a big pool and there's columns.
Well like it's hurst castle. You're expecting to see on
the other side of it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Are you gonna have any girafts or anything come running
out of there?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean maybe there are. I don't know who knows.
I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
David their position truck that house cat where in a Super.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Bowl makes me want to go bet with him right now?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I want to run.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Why the hell that guy's a Jets fan? I have
no idea.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I mean, look, you go and attach yourself to a
crap team and then eventually when they win, you could
be one of the people that was there at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Right but everybody else Johnny Mike where he can have
that surgery to have the Jets taken out?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh that's true, that's true. Can have that part of
your brain fixed? That is true?

more jets. Jets, Jets, jets, jets. Use it actually a
jets helmet? God, it looks like it's got turquoise, doesn't it. Well, yeah,
in this green suit. Almost feeling me from the street.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's like when you skip leg day two. I mean,
good lord.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
No, but it's like one of those one of those
uniforms you wear when someone says, hey, so we don't
really have the rights to the Jets uniform. So if
you could wear something just close enough where people seeing
it think it's the Jets, that's kind of what we
want to go with. Oh yeah, yeah, no problem, No problem.
I'll put the green nylon on the shoulder pands a
green Yeah no, and I'll start yelling about the Jets

All Jets Show. 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.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Well. Joining us now on the hotline, no one better
to break down the heat of the preseason, what could
be next to quarterback for a couple of teams, and more.
He has a longtime NFL insider and a long time
haul of very good voter. He is on Twitter at
Jason Cole sixty two. It is the aforementioned Jason Cole.
(30:59):
What's happened in Jay Cole.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Life is awesome? What's going on with you guys?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh? Dude? Everything is great. The Jets are great. Hard
knocks is great. We're gonna go fourteen and three. It's
it's everything is outstanding, It's fantastic. Life is great.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Right now, how's that calf? How's your calf?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Everything is he didn't miss a play? Didn't miss a play.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
You're not you're not You're not worried at all.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Didn't miss a play. No, because if it happens, I
could just say this is this is how it goes
for the Jets. But right now, everything is great. Everything
is awesome.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Wait until he grabs that calf in week two, yeah,
or in week one.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Put that out there.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Don't put that out there in the world.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Don't take hold. I was more going towards the fact
that he's got two tackles that won't be able to
block someone when they come live in a game.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Secure, which may cause that calf to ache a little
bit more.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
You know, you want to put that out there, I'm
gonna put out I'm.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Gonna, Hey, Zach, why don't you take a few behind
these guys. You know, what do you think? Maybe how's that?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You know?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Look good for mommy? All right, make her feel good
about herself?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Okay, all right, quid pro quill.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Mom got going? Hey, how about this these mom.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
How about Stanford and cal the West. I'm gonna put
that out there for you. Stanford to the Mountain West,
they should join. Why not Stanford to the Mountain West?
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Oh? No, aac PANS Specific America Conference. You know, we
should be in the Panini League or something like that.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You get good sandwichesgue or good cards, you know, yeah,
they do cards too.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
We grading cards and sticks, you got it, Trading card
stickers and a great sandwich. This is what we do
with Stanford. I mean, look, you could put that out there.
The thing about that is I've been putting that out
there for a year that we're going to screw this up.
I put it out to the pre as an and
of our university. I sent him a letter about this
(33:04):
last October saying, get on the ball, get this done right. Instead,
what happens, you know, he gets an academic investigation, gets fired,
our athletic director not so great. You know, you can
pour on anything you want. The salts already in that wound.
Pal Let me just tell you that five from my
(33:26):
own university.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Five years from now, you're going to get a letter
back going. Dear mister Cole, thank you so much for
your inquiry of five years.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
No, no, no, I already got the response and you
should have heard it when I said, why don't you
take the ten teams that are remaining and try to
join the ACC?
Speaker 7 (33:45):
Right?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I suggested that and he said, oh, that's been looked at.
It's really not something that we care to do. Fast
forward to now you're on bend and knee begging for that.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, Mountain west Stan for you, you'd be the.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Favorite mount Just just just kill the program, just destroy it.
You know, all the all the Olympic sports.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, you could joint even join the CFL. You might
win some games there. Why not?
Speaker 5 (34:14):
You know what? You know what are Sometimes it's going
to look like Martin Short doing that sit on Christopher
Guest and every god is that? Is that brilliant? You
know what? Was it synchronized?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I don't swim, Laurence doesn't swim, So we have some things.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
I don't swim.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Lauren's the Raiders with the losts Ark and they're doing
this whole thing. He's worried. Okay, so all right, so
let let's start with this before we get to Trey Lance.
I know you have some some big time thoughts on
what's going on there in San Francisco. Look, Aaron Rodgers
says today is concern over the Jets offensive line is
pretty low. Another practice where they didn't look really good.
They're still trying to figure out their tackles. I said
this beginning of the show. Any team would trade their
(34:59):
problems for the Jets problem sight unseen, because the Jets
are trying to figure out a couple of tackles and
that's it. Everything else is taken care of. Or oh yeah,
is it a bigger deal for you? I don't just
say it's a bigger deal because me Jets fan here.
You got to be legit here, mister insider, you got
to give us some legit points.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Are you going to say that, Well, you know, how
how did that offensive tackle thing work out for the
for the Chiefs in that Super Bowl against Tampa. Oh yeah,
it's just a couple offensive tackles. We can get through
the Super Bowl without it. Four hundred running yards, not
rushing yards, but running yards by Patrick Mahomes as he
(35:37):
was trying to get out of the way of every
pass rusher that the Buccaneers had, and concluding guys that
they signed that morning that did not work well in
that super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So I'll take the super Bowl. Tackles matters, I'll take
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
If you're telling me we're making it the super Bowl,
I'll take the super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I'm sure you would. However, that was the week before
the super Bowl. This is weeks before the season starts.
Don't have your offensive tackles. You got issues. I'm just
saying you got issues? Can you overcome that in that division?
Good luck?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Thanks j Cole. There you go, all right?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
You want you can't handle the truth? Is that what
you're telling me.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
American Athletic Conference from Stanford, that's that's where you're going
sun Belt. You're going to go play in the sun Belt.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
That's my favorite today was the Pacific American Conference. That
was the one eighteen teams with with Wazoo and Oregon State.
You know, like the four of us were supposed to
be the superpowers, like bringing SMU. I think Temple was
on there. You know, it was just it was an
array of of also rams. It was just awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I get that right.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Oh god, it was just fantastic. Okay, go on, Yeah,
it looks it's it's not even regular, it's not table
salt that's in the wound. For me, it's like the
highest ends salts that they've follow that wound from me,
the kind of stuff that you get at arts deli
when you occasionally buy me a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Well, how often are you in studio? When you're in studio,
we buy you a sandwich. That's how it works. Come
to La and don't even call it. How many times
been to LA and not even called us? How many times?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Enough? Okay, there you go, last week, the week before that,
a concert a month ago, all of those things that flows.
I got to call what it is. Hey. Jacol Smith
expressed great concern by the number of pugilists on display
at practices across the NFL. Is it more than we've
(37:41):
seen in the history. Are we just covering it more?
Speaker 5 (37:45):
Probably just covering it more because we don't really know
what to cover in regular practices, and not that much
happens anymore so, I mean, because there's no real hitting
in practice. Guys. You know, when when the weather starts
to get hot, like, they don't get tired out from
doing you know, Oklahoma drills or Middle drills anymore. So
(38:08):
they have all this kind of energy and they just
fight a little bit more so I would. I would
assume that that's part of it. I always say that
good teams don't fight, and good coaches don't allow for fighting,
because if that's going to be your reaction when things get,
you know, tough, how are you going to react in
(38:30):
games when things get tough? And I know there are
some coaches out there like, yeah, I want to see him,
you know, drop his stones and let's see how it
goes and all that kind of stuff, you know, Rex
Ryanisms and Buddy Ryanisms. How that worked for the Jets,
by the way, and so you know, like some coaches
really love that. Then there are other coaches, look guys
(38:50):
like Belichick or even Saban who are like, I don't
want fighting in practice. So generally the way you should
take it is if your team is fighting a lot practice,
they're probably not very disciplined.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
See I go this way, I go. Would it kill
teams to have a practice or two at night? Because
I think a lot of it comes from it's hot,
it's hotter than it's ever been.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
You're out here, let them go all should we let
them get air conditioning between plays? Two? Would how about that?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Or twice you practice at night.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
It's not going to kill you. Kill you.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
This is a tough guy coaching. I was expect from
you to practice at night.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Really okay, because we're not going to play games at night. Now,
let's make sure.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Why are you Are you a little tired? Why don't
you go take a couple of plays off. It's okay.
This is how we've done it with the Jets for
the last fifty years. That's why we're good.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Let me ask you this. If you had an all
access pass to go to a practice in the middle
of the day, would you go. No, it would be
too hot for you. They say, hey, we got a
night time Oh that sounds good, nice cool breeze. I
would go cover that.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
I have make how many practices I covered with the
Miami Dolphins in the middle of the day in Florida
in July and August, every one of them. So yes,
I was out there. I know what that's like. It
is miserable, it's tough. It's what makes teams better and tougher.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
That sounds like a youth problem. Man, that's not a
meat problem. That's a you problem.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Well you said you would I go? I did? I
got have passed. I went to every one of them.
Would I go if I had all that pass? No,
it's not even a question. I did go. I did.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Hey, J Cole up in San Francisco. We talked about
Trey Lance a little bit last week. Now, Sam Darnold's
going to start the second preseason game. What's the asking
price for Trey Lance in an open marketplace?
Speaker 5 (40:48):
Oh, it's probably not much different than it was during
the off season. It's like a fifth round pick, a
fourth round pick. You know, I feel bad for the
kid because there's no way for him to develop on
that team right now unless there's just so many injuries
that there's nothing left for him but to play right like,
(41:11):
he'd have to be the last survivor in order for
them to let him on the field. And you know,
not that Sam Darnold is an't great shakes, you know
he's but but he'll probably do what they ask him
to do effectively enough. I mean, it's Rock Purty or
nothing for them. But you know when you watch Trey
(41:33):
Lance play and it's really sad. Is you know, you know, A, well,
A you don't know if he's really even good enough
to play, but B you know, he hasn't played enough
downs in the last four years since he you know,
since he played in twenty nineteen, it hasn't played enough
(41:55):
real football at any level that he feels at all
comfortable and knows what he's doing out there. I mean
against the Raiders, and admittedly, like half of those places
against the Raiders he had no shot because the offensive
line play was so awful. But even on the ones
who we did have a chance, he just wasn't ready.
(42:16):
He's not looking downfield. I mean, he threw two decent
balls to Chris Connelly in the middle of the field.
He also shits on two interceptions, easy easy picks in
the middle of the field, and then everything else that
he threw was underneath. You know, it's like five yards
five yards and under I mean, you know, I thought
(42:36):
I was watching, you know, Joey Herrington at practice all
over again, and I watched those Joey Harrington practices in
the middle of the day in Sufflorida.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yeah, that's Joey Heisman to you, that's Joey Heisman. Come on, man,
get it right, Jelly.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
That was the last time he was any good.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
So he's on at Jason Cole sixty two, that is
at Jason Cole sixty two. If the weather is above ninety,
don't expect to see him at any NFL practice for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 5 (43:04):
One of those practices.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Like you, yeah, I was, Jimmy Johnson says otherwise, But
that's okay, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (43:14):
Ever tell you my favorite Jimmy Johnson's story.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Oh my goodness, can you tell me what.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
You ripped me so hard one day in practice? Did
I tell you that?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
No?
Speaker 5 (43:24):
Hey, well, next week.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Let's say that.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
Note.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
You're gonna be with us on Friday morning when we're
in for Dan Patrick. So are you gonna tell us?
Speaker 5 (43:30):
Then I'll tell you. I'll tell you. It was Hall
of Fame material.

(00:50):
If today is any indication, Michael, you and I should
have had some kind of skirmish on the field earlier today,
you and I throwing punches at each other before being separated,
because that seems to be the theme of the day
in the NFL. No one can escape it. It's hot out.
I get it. You and I should have fought today.
We we should have done a solid and done that
and then coming and done the show.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, I mean we did a little of that in
our back and forth, you know, prep of hear some stories.
Here's some verbal barbs over the ineptitude and pathetic nature
that is the Jets offensive line. Stop.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Stop everything that we should have.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Met in the middle somewhere six day over.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
There's still time. Stop. Listen.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Look, I can get in a car right now.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know, listen, you guys, I just want you to stop. Yes,
did we find out today the Jets didn't have a
great practice and the offensive line wasn't great? Yeah? Were
they missing three starters who didn't practice today? Yeah? Would
any team in the NFL, even the Chiefs, would any
team in the NFL trade their problems for the Jets problems?
(01:53):
Of course they would. Jets, what are your problems?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
What are the Chiefs problems?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, we're trying to figure out what the Jets. Well,
we're trying to figure out our tax. We have three
or four guys, we're rotating in and out. What are
the problems? Do you have none really yet? None? Really yet? None? Oh? Okay,
then well all right, that's it. That's the Jets problem.
They're trying to figure who their tackles are. Yet it
looks like every day And I get it's part of
the attention of Hard Knocks that, oh, the Jets had
(02:17):
a bad practice on the offensive line. Yeah, you know what,
half the league had bad practice on the offensive line today.
That's gonna just make the Super Bowl all that sweeter,
Mike Carbon But every team, they would trade their problems
cite unseen for the Jets problems. Now we would trade
that problems.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, I mean it always comes back to, I mean
what I've been preaching on this show and long before.
Show me the team that has five offensive linemen that
they feel comfortable going to Week one with, and I'll
show you a winner. I'll show you a team that
has an opportunity for greatness right now for your Jets.
I mean that was part of Hard Knocks Episode two,
which I've known you've seen three times Robert Sala talking
(02:54):
about problems against Carolina. Now we're watching it and we
just keep getting update after updated how bad it is.
And yes, I stipulate to the fact that you had
multiple offensive linemen not practice today. However, however, the show
is today. The practice was today, and everybody was fighting
(03:15):
mad and part of it was because their offensive line stink,
which means the quarterback's going to start cursing at the
guys that are out there, maybe cursing the guys that
couldn't make it onto the field today, and it's going
to start spilling over because everybody's tired of this ruse
that we call the preseason.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It doesn't matter. It does spens in August. Hey, you
played like you practiced, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Don't go trying to steal the rocks quote. If you're
going to do it, put some probys, put something behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It doesn't matter. Yes, did all teams have? Show me
a team where at the end of a practice a
coach can say, hey, we practice great in every facet
of the game today. How if the defense practice is great,
that means the offense didn't practice great. If the offense
practiced great, that means the defense didn't practice great.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I want to coach to just go to the podium
and go, you know what, we had a good stalemate today.
We'll get after it again.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
We had a good step, we threw a couple of touchdowns,
we stopped a couple of times. No, then you're upset
that neither side was good, and neither side stood out today.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's I mean, you're feeling pretty good today.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Trust me, every every team would trade their problems for
the Jets. And I'm not saying they trade their rosters.
But what's Kansas City's problem? Okay, we're redoing our wide
receiver room again. Is well, that didn't exactly exactly, but
you know, hey, you're talking about, Hey, do we have
the right mix again? That's a concern. Can we run
the football like we did in the past, That's going
to be a concern. Can we trust? But checko are
(04:48):
are are we going to be able to do that?
Those are a couple of those are right right away?
Two more problems than the Jets have right right away.
All are the more problems than the Jets have. So yeah,
any team would trade their problems. We have three or
four offensive tap we're trying to figure out who the
two guys are that are going to be there the inside.
We have two Pro bowlers at right and left guard.
So we're feeling pretty good about that.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, you can't clone.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I wish, Hey, they can only pick up so much
for the well, at least maybe we can, maybe we
can maybe doctor Oz the guy with the jetsamentalist is
figured out a way to clone people. And then you
watch and see we have five Anthony Munos's starting along
the offensive.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The only thing you'd get out of that is like
third rate offensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It would be like multiplicity when every time they cloned
Michael Keaton, he was a little bit worse than the one.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, a little bit dumber, a little bit less on
top of things, no question about it. A giraffe, Well
there's that tool.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You know what could happen?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Otherwise you end up down down the road of like
in Batman versus Superman, and you got Luther who finds
the kryptonite and he builds that monstrosity that you know,
just stakes a terrible villain.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Now let's get into because this is this. We did
have a ton of stuff today, A ton of skirmish, right,
skirmish is always a big word. It's a big word
because everything We had fights all over Prey. Yesterday, Mark
Andrews body slammed somebody during a joint practice. Today. Max
Crosby was going at it with Cam Akers and he
was talking smack after it was over. When they had
(06:18):
their joint practice, Matthew Stafford says, every time Crosby's within
five feet of me, he's yelling sack, sack, sack, because
you know a lot it hit the quarterback. And these
joint practices, like we're seeing the Dallas Cowboys had had
a big uh skirmish at practice today that that that
almost got out of control. Look, one of the Jets
coaches had to go to the hospital because he was
trying to break up, you know, a bit at the
(06:39):
joint prere.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The hell out of there trying to hell out. That's
a bad job.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
By blaming the guy who got hurt, Yes, and tried
to do something as men tried to help it, don't dissipate.
He tried to help, He tried to All of this happened.
And here's the thing is I have a solution for
all of these things because these are all stupid, right,
these are well, whenever you're fighting at practice, it's stupid.
And and you look, I get it. During a game,
(07:05):
when you haven't hit somebody, it's a game, it's the
other thing I understand. But during practice it's stupid. And
it's really simple because why do you get to that
point where you're ready to just thump somebody on the
other team because you're practicing in the absolute god awful
worst heat of the year, which is the middle of August.
And I don't care what side you come down on
(07:26):
as far as climate change goes. The planet is getting hotter, right,
The planet's got there. There's no debating that the planet
is getting hotter. And so summers are hotter now than
they've ever been. Look here in La I told you
by the time the Olympics get here in twenty twenty eight,
it's gonna be ninety degrees every day. It's gonna be
ninety degrees every day. There's a hurricane coming to Los Angeles.
I know this weekend. I know it's it's look, it's
(07:48):
everything is look the world, the globe is getting hotter, right,
But let's keep this about foot, keep it about football.
Is that would it really kill you to have a
couple of night practices, because that's honest. What has people
with such short fuse? You go out there and you
are sweating your ass off every single day, and I
know that it's not nearly as much as it was
(08:08):
because of the new CBA the last couple of times,
and there's no more to a day practices but would
it kill you to have one practice at night? Hey,
it's gonna be nice. It's cool out at night. We
can work on things because when you practice so much
during the day, especially that it's hotter than it's ever been.
And I don't think teams are taking that into account.
There's more fights now than they've ever been, and that's
a big reason because it's bleeping hot. Man, it's hot
(08:31):
every day. And not only is it hot, it's oppressively hot,
and it's hotter than it was. And when that happens,
you show me somebody who can be that hot and
can have a really cool temperament and understand what's going
on and focus and play football. No, you can't. When
I'm hot, I can't think. I'm like, if I don't
get a drink right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna just explode.
I gotta get a diet coke, diet coke, diet coke.
(08:54):
So yeah, I mean, would it kill you once in
a while to Hey, let's have a nighttime practice. Let's
practice at night. Why do we do that?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I appreciate it. That's that's good. According to several climate sites,
the Earth's temperatures risen by an average of one point one
four degrees fahrenheit per decade since eighteen eighty. So it's
always been hot, Jason, It's always been hot.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's and I appreciate that it's getting a hurricane coming
to La. We got hurric hurricane.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
But just like you know, the the full moon will
turn people a little bit crazy or give them an
excuse to do something crazy. For some it will turn
them into werewolves.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But the idea is that we know that happens. Man,
that'd be pretty good. I kind of would want to
see that. Have you just want to see that? I want,
you know, I want big globe. Look did you ever
read the Weekly World News?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The Jets had a night practice. What happened? Garrett Wilson's
a werewolf man? He was taking bites out of everybody.
I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Now he's taken up for the mantle from Teen Wolf
two and Jason Batem not to be confused with the
TV show because that added much darker tone to it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
No, no, no, no, no, I know, and I like Teen Wolf.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I was good. I'm not going to say it's not.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I don't love to have been in a basketball game
where a player turns into a werewolf and then he
turns into a great player.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Like that's a but but I mean, that's what I mean.
We got to stay with the movies because they kept
it light. Yeah, they were interpersonal conflicts. But the other the.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Show do you like Goof? Do you like the other
girl who was in the you know, in the play
and everything else? Say that this early why Boof is
her nickname? That was a name Boof, They called it Boof.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That was so Anyway, the point I'm making is that
it's always been hot, and so we can ration. But
it's hotter now.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But it's hotter now, it's it's not that much. It's
not it's hotter one degree. It's hotter. It's hot. It's
an average of one degree across. But you have you
have certain cities where it's hotter in the summer because
it is, but it's hot.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's always hot.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Richard Daily, mayor of Chicago thirty five years ago, was
talking about cooling centers, going, what do you want me
to say?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's hot?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, we have air conditioning, but you can't have air
conditioning on the field. So how about you just have
how about you just have a couple of prey either way,
and you can you could still have some stuff at
night and not have to worry about all the fights,
because if it was hot today, you're.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Still going to fight. When they're opposite team're still going
to be hell out of This is all the pent
up frustration of the guy lined up across in their
normal team practices that they've been told you can't beat
the hell out of this guy because we got to
get through the season together.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We don't care if you take a swing at Max Crosby.
You know what, He's not your problem the three days.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Not when it's a hot, not when it's at Listen,
Lowly tell you this.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Just give everybody ice cream. That's I mean, that's where
you're at.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
You if you walked into the studio and I said
to you right now at seven twelve at night, you hey,
Oh by the way, first picture of the Dodgers was
seven ten fifty seven Clayton kurse sevent he he's feeling okay,
got it? Uh? If you came into the studio tonorw
you'd walk in. You've send in your air conditioned car.
You come in air conditioning studio. You would sit down,
I'd say, hey, guess what, man, we decided to of this.
(12:00):
You know, we have your credit card on file. We
ordered fat salas for everybody. It's gonna be like one
hundred and twenty bucks. Now, you'd be upset, right, but
you would be well, we got to figure this out
and we talk about it there. You would be upset,
but there'd be calm, cool reasoning. Now, let's just say
you took the same ride up here without the air
conditioning on, and your windows were rolled all the way
up and there's no air conaw a suit and there's
(12:23):
no air conditioning in the studio, and all you did
all day was move stuff up and downstairs. That's all
you did was move stuff up and moves up. Chat
and then you come in here and you're sweating your
ass off, and you come sit down and I go, hey,
we just ordered fat salas and we use your credit
card bands like one hundred and twenty bucks. You would
start throwing punches. You would be the Tasmanian devil in
(12:44):
this studio because it was so hot. That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, I'm not gonna say that. I mean, you might
not be verbally assaulted, but I'm smart enough to know
even with.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Now when it's hot, Na, you would get out of control.
I could see it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I no, I mean, look, you misjudged me and mischaracterized
me and I got a relationship all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You're old Season one of the Bear You're all richie.
I know what. You guys are.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean, who's a bad choice.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You could solve a lot of those problems just by
having a couple of practices at night, and then you
have way less people wanting to fight.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Max Crosby if you had one of those personal fans
attached to your helmet. Do you think you might have
gone after Cam Akers.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Don't punch me, dude. Just don't punch me. Don't touch me,
dud don't punch me. Don't punch me. Hey, hey, Hey,
it's going Don't don't punch me, man, don't punch me.
Don't punch me, dude, dude, Crosby, just watch the punch.
Don't bunch me man.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
So is he gonna be the next guy to fight
Logan Paul because it seems like all he wants to
do is getting scrapes.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know, I didn't know Max Crosby had the strong
tattoo game that he did. Because we need this press conference.
They talking about the fight with cam Akers. He's got
no shirt and I'm like, he's got no spot on
his body that isn't covered with a tattoo.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, I mean, you haven't seen me shirtless. You have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
No, I don't think you're You're not like him, though
I've seen you with I've seen you in short sleeves.
I've seen you in short sleeves, Max Crost, there's not
now any man.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm a businessman, which means I can't have the sleeves
like that, you know, trying to do the show with you.
I'm been told that that wouldn't be good for business.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You're not so.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I mean the tattoos are all covered up. You're not
met party time.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Max Crosby needs to have big years and signed big contracts.
He's got a four tattoos. I mean just if he
didn't pay, if he'd ever got a tattoo, he probably
would have about five or six more million dollars in
the bank.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Tight shirt? What's an average tattoo? Run?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Do you want a good one or a bad one?
It's got to be good, it's got to be an
NFL got to be a good one. Give me a bad?
Are we doing like a whole piece or just a
little part?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Would I would like a nice piece like you know
the guillotine logo that I showed you from the Afghan
weeds thing like what would that run me to be done? Well?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Oh gosh, I'm going to say, if you go to
an actual talented artist that takes his time, especially with
the freehand, you're looking at two sessions, probably almost around
two grand fifth.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
For like a six by six touches six inch by
six touches exactly, he would have like five million more dollars.
Or do you want tattoos. What would you rather have?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, he made his choice. He made his choice. His
body is his temple, his body is his business. And
he wanted to show off the tattoos. You had a
kid's head up there. You had all sorts of slogans.
I'm in it. It's a rich tapestry.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Don't talk big Mac on Jason's lower back, and a
cost that'll punch me.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Don't punch me. Hey, I actually went to McDonald's tonight
and did not get a big mac chalk who walk
in sandwich and and and three chicks even really go?
Then I did? I did, And I came in and
I had chocolate chip cookies. She said, oh you got
I said yeah you yeah, seriously, Yeah, come on, man,
no I want one. I said, okay, go grab one.
He goes back, Oh no, I changed my mind. And
(16:07):
he's eating watermelon like out of just He's just eating
just to cut the watermelon in half. It's just like
spooning into the middle of the watermelon, eating it. The
watermelon's a bowl for itself. But Jason, I thought you
had actual cookies. That was McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
McDonald's cookies are pretty good. They're pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I had a bit of a moment today, Mike
where I realized I had to have a bit of
reflection where I said, am I really too over the
top with the Jets and the Super Bowl and everything
else going on? I am I really over the top?
And I don't mean today where oh, the offensive line
didn't look good and after practice Aaron Rodgers had to say, Relax,
(16:51):
the offensive line is fine. I get every day the
Jets are a story on page news every single day.
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Now, I mean he's going to day It's all good.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Relax, everything is all good. You would your Bears would
trade your problems for the jets problems, and Sid, I'm
telling you, Jets only have one problem.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Hey, what have you heard about the Bears?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
We got to figure out who the offensive tackles are wet,
we got we got four to.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Figure out how much to build justin fields for MVP three.
Nobody's talking about the tackles. Nobody's talking about anything on
either side.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
A new world all about the m VP and justin
fields and a tiny bit of you know, they may
build a new park somewhere that may be moving at
some point. We get that Yearly story as well. The
Bears might move. The Bears could move.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The Bears, well, they should.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's kind of like become the the the Yearly. Hey,
if if Team X doesn't get the stadium deal they want,
they're gonna move to Los Angeles, and that's become the Bears.
The Bears could move to Arlington All the Bears could
move to somewhere else in Illinois. The Bears could move here.
The Bears can move to Champagne Urban. They could move anywhere.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I said Champagne Urbana like I was trying to be funny.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh okay, Justagne otherwise, you know for that, I know
it's not good for business. I know.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I just said because I felt like that's.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Kind of what they deserve to. Although they need to
hire Jim Leonard. I mean that's a nice little addition
to the staff.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Well, their secondary will be very good by adding Jim Leonard,
and then they'll be pretty good too.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
They got no question about it. Yeah, And then look
that the Bear should move because then they don't have
to worry about their fields sucking because of the park
district and the number of tractor pulls that can be
had ahead of a Sunday home game. But I digressed.
The answer is, yes, you are over the top, and
I say you should be, but but you actually it's not.
(18:45):
You know, it could all be false, hope, But at
least on the surface, everything points to the Jets having
a successful season. Now, given history, given the football gods,
the answer means something catastrophic is gonna have it along
the way. Uh to flip this on its head, and
we will be here at a chronicle every minute of it.
But for now, you can try to dismiss the tackle position.
(19:09):
You can try to talk about Hey, it's just practice,
it doesn't matter. That's all good. And I like when
you're hyped and you're feeling good. I'm your best friend.
I want you to be happy. But then when your
team sucks, just like mine does where we're you know, kindred.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Spirits that buddy, I thank you for that, But look
at hope's a dangerous thing.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Though I was I was the first guy to tell
you thing as well as anybody.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Look, I was the first guy to tell you I
like the Bears to win the division this year. I mean,
everybody's going crazy about the Lions, but Bears made a
lot of improvements. Man, watch out and not just because hey,
hey they you know every pass Justin Field's throw in
for a sixty five yard touchdown this past weekend. But
the Bears made a lot of improvements. Man, they did
a lot of good things in that.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I mean, you know, my feeling on the passes and
getting quarterbacks credit.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Doesn't matter, is it an right?
Speaker 5 (19:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
No, I know, one hundred percent. Just it was funny
and the narrative of the plays until people saw the plays.
Now they still have hype for Justin Fields, but you
recognize the receivers have said passes really had to do
a lot of work to make it happen. Not to
mention on one of them, you had no fewer than
two offensive linemen fifteen yards down the field where in
(20:22):
season there's a flag flying from somewhere to bring it back.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Here's why I believe that I'm a little bit over
the top now and maybe maybe I got to question
myself a little bit. And sometimes they always say that, Hey,
you know, children are the ones who always will They'll
never they'll never pull the wool over your eyes. I'll
always they'll tell you the truth. So today's true.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
They're all a bunch of lifers.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Wow, I mean I like that kids.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
They just like the children make of the children. They're
pure of heart.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Now, apparently someone's oldest took the car without asking last night,
went in a big joy ride to the day.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
She has her own car. She she can do whatever
the house she wants. Hey, look, I'm just saying the
little Jason Smith, he stole a mailbox for crying out.
Don't tell me about children.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I steal if I put it back? I yeah, I
didn't steal.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
If I put it back, did you displace it and
take it?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Displacing is a word? Yes, Displease you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Have possession of said mail box?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
How long?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
How long do I doesn't mean when I have possession
of it?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Eight seconds?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Where do you get eight seconds from.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Well eight out Perry movie.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Maybe it's ten, maybe it's ten hours.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, can you get to eight seconds? Riding the bull?
You get credit the sucking.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
You touch somebody else's mail, you're done.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
No, No, the mail, not the mail, not their mail
in there. You don't know that there.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Wasn't mail in there was no mail. I checked, there
was no mail again.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I mean that's a federal crime part too.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
There was no mail, not on a Sunday, but on
a mail lot, and you opened it.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You got multiple felony.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No mail on a Sunday. Yes, there is no trust
you about anything. Nope, nope, not on a Sunday, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I got to change all my credit cards. That'd be
random sandwiches and Jets merchandise ordered.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So today Pam and I and Zoe are out at Pavilions.
We're grocery shopping, and you and Frostburg send me the
video of this guy online who put this video up
of himself running through his bag a huge backyard, running
through his backyard with like a makeshift. He looks like
green Man, right, So he's dressed like Green Man. Everything's
(22:30):
in green, like green nyl on everything, and he's got
shoulder pads and a green Jets helmet on. And he
runs around the corner of a set of bushes and
he runs towards the camera and he starts screaming about
the Jets and Dalvin Cook in the Super Bowl. So
you sent me this. It was just some random video
on Twitter and let's play a little bit of it
for you, just so you get exactly what this video
(22:50):
is all.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
About, actually your burner account. I don't know why you're
trying to say it's somebody else.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's not me. But play a little bit of it
so we can hear a little bit of the of
this guy.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
They're not try where.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I won a Super Bowl since nineteen sixty nine, David
Dumble their position, but now not down like trucks in
halfs that cap where well in a Super Bowl, not
dead stopping us.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
A red Rogers.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Stated, Okay, so this is the guy's les and he
goes for another like ten seconds and he starts cursing.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Right, he's just mad. Frank got all the thunder.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
So maybe he's trying to be Frank the Tank for
the Jets. That's what he's trying to do. He's trying
to be I think.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He saw the perks and freebies and everything, and he's
trying to get on that gravy train.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Frank the Tank is going to minor league ballparks and
doing appearances. I could be the Jets Frank the Tank.
So this guy shows up and he does he's just yelling.
He's wearing like makeshift football uniform and he's yelling all
this right. So I'm watching the video and I'm watching
on my phone because because Pam and Zoe are are.
I forget what I we were in, but I was
like I was around the corner for them. And I'm
(23:57):
watching this video and I'm listening to it and I'm
laughing thing and Zoe comes.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Off their position.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
As he's breathing very heavy. It's you. So I'm watching
this and I'm laughing and Zoe and you can hear
it because I have the volume up so I can
hear it in the store and and I hear it,
and Zoe comes over and she hears it and she's smiling.
She was over. She goes and I go, I go what.
She goes, Oh my god, Dad, is that you doing something?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yeah? My cook is in house. Is it cap where
a souper bow?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And I said no, I said, wait, that sounds like
look at this guy. And she goes, oh no, I
couldn't see it. I just I just heard it. I
thought it was you, and I thought I thought, like
Justin or Mike sent you something they didn't put online.
I go, no, that's some guy in his backyard, just
screaming about the Chits. And then I thought, oh wait
(24:54):
a second, there's there's something pretty familiar right there. As
soon as I said, it's just some guy his backyard
screaming about the Jets, and I thought, if you replace
backyard with radio, that's me. I mean outside, just replaced
backyard with radio, that's me. So maybe maybe I'm a
little bit too crazed about this, a little bit too
over the top. The fact that my own daughter comes
(25:15):
up to is that you Dad, that you. It sounds
like you.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It could be you. Yeah, I have some content ideas
for football. We'll kick around. When next week convene, I'll
start writing on the whiteboard. But no, I like the positivity.
It's it's an exciting time. I like that that Zoe
recognizes that, you know, you're on the lunatic fringe of
this kind of stuff. My daughter's recognize it too.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
The half that cab in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I love how out of breath the guy gets.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He ran, he ran what about fifty yards?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
He did run about fifty yards before he starts telling
him running around the corners.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, it's a lot of property.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
This is one of those guys you go, boy, who
is that guy? He's going to turn out to be
like the biggest tech hedge fund guy. Oh I got
more money than Steve Cohen.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Oh or he just lives at a place where land
is cheap still exists. All of us in our career
were jaded by what the southern California housing and land
prices have gone to us. But uh, there there is
opportunity out there. I mean, you could have a backyard
somewhere Smith where you could put the Jets logo out
(26:28):
there if you really wanted to. I mean, you could
do it on your lawnmower and get that done.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh so wait, so Waite Frostburg's telling me that that
that that's actually you doing messing with me.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
You know, I didn't know who that was. No, who
was it it was? It wasn't just again not cheap,
that's New York City. This guy's backyard is humongous.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, who is it?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
He's one of the biggest handicappers in the world, Stuart
Finer is really he's a barstool, now, is Herit is that?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So that absolutely he's taking Frank the Tanks gig for
because that's the take is he's at bars. That guy's
a big handicapper, and he's got that kind of house
and that kind of property, and he's dressed up as
green Man running through his backyard screaming about there you go.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
He is the source. You could dial him up now
my two team parlay my life.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I did not know that. I just thought it was
some dude. Really, I just thought it was some guy
because you said some stupid ass videos like that all
the time.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I'm not known as the source claiming to be the
basis for the al Pacino and Two for the Money,
the Great movie with Matthew mo It was based.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Off of him. It was based on it well because
McConaughey was the star, right, and then al Pacino like
tried to bring him his boss, like he tried to
bring him as like, hey, come on and then be
a handicap here with me. Okay, because I don't think
I ever saw the movie all the way through.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
No, it's pretty good movie. I'm a big fan of it.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Okay. You just don't get a backyard like that in
New York. No, that's what That's what I said. I
thought whoever it was had a lot of money, because
it looks like it's it's landscaped. It's huge.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I mean you can mow the lawn.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah no, but no, but you could just tell it
looks pretty big. It looks like one of those Oh boy,
there's a you know, there's a house with columns on it.
That that's what it looks like. Hey, just out of
just out of frame as a big pool and there's columns.
Well like it's hurst castle. You're expecting to see on
the other side of it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Are you gonna have any girafts or anything come running
out of there?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean maybe there are. I don't know who knows.
I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
David their position truck that house cat where in a Super.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Bowl makes me want to go bet with him right now?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I want to run.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Why the hell that guy's a Jets fan? I have
no idea.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I mean, look, you go and attach yourself to a
crap team and then eventually when they win, you could
be one of the people that was there at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Right but everybody else Johnny Mike where he can have
that surgery to have the Jets taken out?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh that's true, that's true. Can have that part of
your brain fixed? That is true?

All right, then, all right, we're ready to go on
more jets. Jets, Jets, jets, jets. Use it actually a
jets helmet? God, it looks like it's got turquoise, doesn't it. Well, yeah,
in this green suit. Almost feeling me from the street.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's like when you skip leg day two. I mean,
good lord.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
No, but it's like one of those one of those
uniforms you wear when someone says, hey, so we don't
really have the rights to the Jets uniform. So if
you could wear something just close enough where people seeing
it think it's the Jets, that's kind of what we
want to go with. Oh yeah, yeah, no problem, No problem.
I'll put the green nylon on the shoulder pands a
green Yeah no, and I'll start yelling about the Jets

All Jets Show. 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.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Well. Joining us now on the hotline, no one better
to break down the heat of the preseason, what could
be next to quarterback for a couple of teams, and more.
He has a longtime NFL insider and a long time
haul of very good voter. He is on Twitter at
Jason Cole sixty two. It is the aforementioned Jason Cole.
(30:59):
What's happened in Jay Cole.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Life is awesome? What's going on with you guys?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh? Dude? Everything is great. The Jets are great. Hard
knocks is great. We're gonna go fourteen and three. It's
it's everything is outstanding, It's fantastic. Life is great.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Right now, how's that calf? How's your calf?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Everything is he didn't miss a play? Didn't miss a play.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
You're not you're not You're not worried at all.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Didn't miss a play. No, because if it happens, I
could just say this is this is how it goes
for the Jets. But right now, everything is great. Everything
is awesome.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Wait until he grabs that calf in week two, yeah,
or in week one.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Put that out there.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Don't put that out there in the world.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Don't take hold. I was more going towards the fact
that he's got two tackles that won't be able to
block someone when they come live in a game.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Secure, which may cause that calf to ache a little
bit more.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
You know, you want to put that out there, I'm
gonna put out I'm.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Gonna, Hey, Zach, why don't you take a few behind
these guys. You know, what do you think? Maybe how's that?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You know?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Look good for mommy? All right, make her feel good
about herself?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Okay, all right, quid pro quill.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Mom got going? Hey, how about this these mom.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
How about Stanford and cal the West. I'm gonna put
that out there for you. Stanford to the Mountain West,
they should join. Why not Stanford to the Mountain West?
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Oh? No, aac PANS Specific America Conference. You know, we
should be in the Panini League or something like that.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You get good sandwichesgue or good cards, you know, yeah,
they do cards too.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
We grading cards and sticks, you got it, Trading card
stickers and a great sandwich. This is what we do
with Stanford. I mean, look, you could put that out there.
The thing about that is I've been putting that out
there for a year that we're going to screw this up.
I put it out to the pre as an and
of our university. I sent him a letter about this
(33:04):
last October saying, get on the ball, get this done right. Instead,
what happens, you know, he gets an academic investigation, gets fired,
our athletic director not so great. You know, you can
pour on anything you want. The salts already in that wound.
Pal Let me just tell you that five from my
(33:26):
own university.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Five years from now, you're going to get a letter
back going. Dear mister Cole, thank you so much for
your inquiry of five years.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
No, no, no, I already got the response and you
should have heard it when I said, why don't you
take the ten teams that are remaining and try to
join the ACC?
Speaker 7 (33:45):
Right?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I suggested that and he said, oh, that's been looked at.
It's really not something that we care to do. Fast
forward to now you're on bend and knee begging for that.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, Mountain west Stan for you, you'd be the.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Favorite mount Just just just kill the program, just destroy it.
You know, all the all the Olympic sports.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, you could joint even join the CFL. You might
win some games there. Why not?
Speaker 5 (34:14):
You know what? You know what are Sometimes it's going
to look like Martin Short doing that sit on Christopher
Guest and every god is that? Is that brilliant? You
know what? Was it synchronized?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I don't swim, Laurence doesn't swim, So we have some things.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
I don't swim.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Lauren's the Raiders with the losts Ark and they're doing
this whole thing. He's worried. Okay, so all right, so
let let's start with this before we get to Trey Lance.
I know you have some some big time thoughts on
what's going on there in San Francisco. Look, Aaron Rodgers
says today is concern over the Jets offensive line is
pretty low. Another practice where they didn't look really good.
They're still trying to figure out their tackles. I said
this beginning of the show. Any team would trade their
(34:59):
problems for the Jets problem sight unseen, because the Jets
are trying to figure out a couple of tackles and
that's it. Everything else is taken care of. Or oh yeah,
is it a bigger deal for you? I don't just
say it's a bigger deal because me Jets fan here.
You got to be legit here, mister insider, you got
to give us some legit points.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Are you going to say that, Well, you know, how
how did that offensive tackle thing work out for the
for the Chiefs in that Super Bowl against Tampa. Oh yeah,
it's just a couple offensive tackles. We can get through
the Super Bowl without it. Four hundred running yards, not
rushing yards, but running yards by Patrick Mahomes as he
(35:37):
was trying to get out of the way of every
pass rusher that the Buccaneers had, and concluding guys that
they signed that morning that did not work well in
that super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So I'll take the super Bowl. Tackles matters, I'll take
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
If you're telling me we're making it the super Bowl,
I'll take the super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I'm sure you would. However, that was the week before
the super Bowl. This is weeks before the season starts.
Don't have your offensive tackles. You got issues. I'm just
saying you got issues? Can you overcome that in that division?
Good luck?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Thanks j Cole. There you go, all right?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
You want you can't handle the truth? Is that what
you're telling me.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
American Athletic Conference from Stanford, that's that's where you're going
sun Belt. You're going to go play in the sun Belt.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
That's my favorite today was the Pacific American Conference. That
was the one eighteen teams with with Wazoo and Oregon State.
You know, like the four of us were supposed to
be the superpowers, like bringing SMU. I think Temple was
on there. You know, it was just it was an
array of of also rams. It was just awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I get that right.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Oh god, it was just fantastic. Okay, go on, Yeah,
it looks it's it's not even regular, it's not table
salt that's in the wound. For me, it's like the
highest ends salts that they've follow that wound from me,
the kind of stuff that you get at arts deli
when you occasionally buy me a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Well, how often are you in studio? When you're in studio,
we buy you a sandwich. That's how it works. Come
to La and don't even call it. How many times
been to LA and not even called us? How many times?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Enough? Okay, there you go, last week, the week before that,
a concert a month ago, all of those things that flows.
I got to call what it is. Hey. Jacol Smith
expressed great concern by the number of pugilists on display
at practices across the NFL. Is it more than we've
(37:41):
seen in the history. Are we just covering it more?
Speaker 5 (37:45):
Probably just covering it more because we don't really know
what to cover in regular practices, and not that much
happens anymore so, I mean, because there's no real hitting
in practice. Guys. You know, when when the weather starts
to get hot, like, they don't get tired out from
doing you know, Oklahoma drills or Middle drills anymore. So
(38:08):
they have all this kind of energy and they just
fight a little bit more so I would. I would
assume that that's part of it. I always say that
good teams don't fight, and good coaches don't allow for fighting,
because if that's going to be your reaction when things get,
you know, tough, how are you going to react in
(38:30):
games when things get tough? And I know there are
some coaches out there like, yeah, I want to see him,
you know, drop his stones and let's see how it
goes and all that kind of stuff, you know, Rex
Ryanisms and Buddy Ryanisms. How that worked for the Jets,
by the way, and so you know, like some coaches
really love that. Then there are other coaches, look guys
(38:50):
like Belichick or even Saban who are like, I don't
want fighting in practice. So generally the way you should
take it is if your team is fighting a lot practice,
they're probably not very disciplined.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
See I go this way, I go. Would it kill
teams to have a practice or two at night? Because
I think a lot of it comes from it's hot,
it's hotter than it's ever been.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
You're out here, let them go all should we let
them get air conditioning between plays? Two? Would how about that?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Or twice you practice at night.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
It's not going to kill you. Kill you.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
This is a tough guy coaching. I was expect from
you to practice at night.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Really okay, because we're not going to play games at night. Now,
let's make sure.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Why are you Are you a little tired? Why don't
you go take a couple of plays off. It's okay.
This is how we've done it with the Jets for
the last fifty years. That's why we're good.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Let me ask you this. If you had an all
access pass to go to a practice in the middle
of the day, would you go. No, it would be
too hot for you. They say, hey, we got a
night time Oh that sounds good, nice cool breeze. I
would go cover that.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
I have make how many practices I covered with the
Miami Dolphins in the middle of the day in Florida
in July and August, every one of them. So yes,
I was out there. I know what that's like. It
is miserable, it's tough. It's what makes teams better and tougher.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
That sounds like a youth problem. Man, that's not a
meat problem. That's a you problem.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Well you said you would I go? I did? I
got have passed. I went to every one of them.
Would I go if I had all that pass? No,
it's not even a question. I did go. I did.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Hey, J Cole up in San Francisco. We talked about
Trey Lance a little bit last week. Now, Sam Darnold's
going to start the second preseason game. What's the asking
price for Trey Lance in an open marketplace?
Speaker 5 (40:48):
Oh, it's probably not much different than it was during
the off season. It's like a fifth round pick, a
fourth round pick. You know, I feel bad for the
kid because there's no way for him to develop on
that team right now unless there's just so many injuries
that there's nothing left for him but to play right like,
(41:11):
he'd have to be the last survivor in order for
them to let him on the field. And you know,
not that Sam Darnold is an't great shakes, you know
he's but but he'll probably do what they ask him
to do effectively enough. I mean, it's Rock Purty or
nothing for them. But you know when you watch Trey
(41:33):
Lance play and it's really sad. Is you know, you know, A, well,
A you don't know if he's really even good enough
to play, but B you know, he hasn't played enough
downs in the last four years since he you know,
since he played in twenty nineteen, it hasn't played enough
(41:55):
real football at any level that he feels at all
comfortable and knows what he's doing out there. I mean
against the Raiders, and admittedly, like half of those places
against the Raiders he had no shot because the offensive
line play was so awful. But even on the ones
who we did have a chance, he just wasn't ready.
(42:16):
He's not looking downfield. I mean, he threw two decent
balls to Chris Connelly in the middle of the field.
He also shits on two interceptions, easy easy picks in

five yards and under I mean, you know, I thought
(42:36):
I was watching, you know, Joey Herrington at practice all
over again, and I watched those Joey Harrington practices in
the middle of the day in Sufflorida.

That was the last time he was any good.
Speaker 1 (42:52):

at Jason Cole sixty two. If the weather is above ninety,
don't expect to see him at any NFL practice for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 5 (43:04):
