(00:58):
the Jets says, Oh, you need me to call Hassan
Reddick to Hey, I could do that. Guys, you should
have asked me the fuck I could do that at all.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, all you have to do is ask I could
do that. I can't.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I'm not just gonna do that as a leader of
the team and franchise where everybody is pinned the hopes
and dreams and the entire city.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
How often do you think, how often do you really
think like Robert Sala and Joe Douglas actually talk to
Aaron Rodgers, Like don't you think, like, hey, you know
we have the OC and the court where they are
intermediaries through and and and Sala and yeah, Aaron just
kind of does this thing. He just talks through. Really
when does like when do you think Sala actually talks
(01:40):
to Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Well, I think it's really They just fed questions to
Boomer Geo for that conversation and it was like, uh,
the subtext listen, you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Want to talk to Aaron Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm the
head gum. I want to commit Now. I know, dude,
you're my offensive corder Nathaniel Like, you're an awful offense
you were a bad head coach, you're a bad offensive
court in. For some reason, Aaron Rodgers likes you. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
do not look at me in the eyes. Do not
do not look at me in the eyes. You're talking
to me, and when you go in there, you damn
sure don't look Aaron Rodgers in the eyes.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Coach, you know what you need to do. It's a
suggestion box outside the door. It's also a place where
you can make requests.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's Look, this is the case of suddenly in in
in reports of the last few days, where the relationship
between Rogers and Solid you don't know where it's at
because you get they're not communicating. Robert Sala saying, oh,
I'm holding Aaron Rodgers out of the first couple of preseason. Oh,
that's news to me. He said he wanted to play
(02:38):
in the in the intersquad scream or in the in
the in the joint practice last week, but the field
was wet. Uh no, we're not doing it. Oh I
wanted to play. So you get the sense already that
the two barely talk, but the fact that you're.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Saying Aaron Rodgers that he wanted to play, but you no,
I'm sure he did. I'm sure I wanted to play
a little bit. Oh you know. Look, the guy wants
to play.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
The guy doesn't want to not play, And especially from
the perspective of I really want to get like I'm
antsy to get some plays in physical because I've played
four snaps last year. And I ran for my life
on three of them. I'm tired put me and them.
So yeah, no, so I want so, I want to
play a little. But so I'm sure that's that's part
of it. But to hear today, like after the Reddick
(03:18):
drama of a day ago, Rogers just swoop in and something,
Oh I could I could call him if you want,
Like that was the question. Yeah, I think. And when
he was asked by Jets reporters, do you think any
winked and said, yeah, I think that's a conversation, not gonna.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh you need me, you can't. Oh yeah, I can
do that though I can.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Be your king maker. I can help you out of that.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Like that's just.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
How much do you think they that Rogers doesn't live
on an island by himself with the players and the
coaches that he needs and Salah and Douglaster guy just
you're just on the outside looking on the outside. Now,
we'll let you know when we need you. The good
news is it doesn't matter. I've told you Robert sala
is a bad head coach. But it doesn't matter because
this is another thing. They're asking Aaron Rodgers to cover,
(04:02):
cover bad moves like we trade for a player that
we didn't know was gonna hold out, and now we
look stupid. Cover for that, cover for the fact we
have a head coach that really is in over his
head cover for all of these things.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
This is what Aaron Rodgers has to do.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
And now, oh, the general manager and the head coach
can't get this guy in. Ah, hey, I'll I'll make
a phone call for you. I'll help you out, buddy.
No way, Yeah, I'll call Hassan Reddick. He said, Hey,
Hassan Reddick. I hope he's here. I want him do
what's best for his family. But it's gonna be a
fun ride that you know what's fun. I want him
to be a part of it. I can make a
lot of.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Runs in parallel with Charles Berkley now telling anybody who listened,
he's a savior of all these people's jobs and livelihoods forever.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Aaron Rodgers is now that guy for the Jets. I
can do all this. I can save everything.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Ask me, man, does I know our head coach and
general manager should be the ones on top of this
and they shouldn't have made a trade for a guidance
not here that I can't even when they do the
update on the story every night, you can't even show
him in jets gear because he's never spent one day.
So you still see him going through practice with the
Eagles a year ago.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No, there's some guys with.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Their card art skills that can photoshop those up real
nice scory and help you out with that, buddy, I
can just let me know I would have got Ah.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I can make that call. He wants to be your savior.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
This is you know, and they're giving him every opportunity
to step in and and he knows it.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He recognizes the position of power that he is, not
just the responsibility of it. If this collapses, everything is
torn asunder and they put all their eggs in the
in the basket. He was able to get all his
buddies jobs and nepotism, hey, whatever, have at it. But
all of that recognizing, okay, with with the franchise, the city,
(05:44):
everybody's looking at me as the savior. But also this
gives me a lot of sway to kind of do
what I want. And they're gonna need my help if
they want to get there, not just my performance, but
also my help to allay any of these years and
build those bridges back where they may have singed them.
(06:05):
You know what the jets are. Here's the jets are.
The Jets are like the Crown.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
They're the Royal Family, which everybody needs to be on
the same page for the Royal Family to continue to succeed,
for the people to continue to love them, for them
to keep living in Buckingham Palace and be viewed as
the big rock stars and continue on to have the
monarchy right. The Royal family needs to be looked at
as a whole, so we all have to be kind
(06:32):
of on the same page. But then you get inside
the Royal family and you realize it's Oh, Charles needs
to have somebody get this message to someone who can
get this message to Diana about an appearance they have
to make on Friday. That's very important, and even though
they're not really speaking, they need to be there together
to show a united front and all the drama you
(06:54):
know that's going on behind the scenes when they show
up and wave out of a balcony. Oh look there's
Charles and Diana.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
They're together.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
They Are you talking about this from a historical perspective?
Are you watching that show? No, I watched the show.
I watch the show. The first two seasons are some
of the best TV the last fifteen years. And I'm
gonna be real honest, the next scale of zero to
one hundred zero of where I have the interest, I
am beyond this.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I had zero interest in the crowd zero. I mean,
I had absolutely zero interest in it, and I was
just watch, just watching why. And by the end of
the first episode, you're hooked. And the first two seasons
are incredible television. And then it's like Hunger Games. How
many of the Harry Potter cast members show up.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
To They all do?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
They all did, They're all in there, and Dumbledore comes
in at the end and he waves a magic wand
and the Queen d ages from ninety nine back to
twenty five. It's really fantastic about that. But like it's
like Hunger Games, where each Hunger Games book and movie
was worse than one before it. Like, the first two
seasons were great, the next two seasons we're good, not
as good as the first two, And the last two
seasons you're just waiting for.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It to end.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
So the last two seasons are equivalent to trap. I mean,
I mean McNulty is Prince Charles. I mean, come on,
it's like, dude, I can't get pass that. But that's
where the Jets are. You know that, Hey, we're functioning
as one.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
And we're all in this.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
We all know we have to function as one. But
behind the scenes, it's, oh, get this message to the queen.
I need fifteen minutes. Well, the Queen's gonna call to
meet with the Prime minister. So the Prime Minister's got
to take time out of his day to come over
and meet with the Queen so they can be on
the same page. Like I feel like that's the Jets,
like it's, hey, whatever it is to make Rogers happy,
But this is the reality they bought. They bought Aaron
(08:27):
Rodgers coming in to save the team. So when you
do that, you gotta let him do his thing. Gotta
let him save the team. This is where you're at.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Which is where and clutch sports. I mean it just
spills all over the place. I mean, this is how
you go from a day ago. It's how do you
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The Jets are ridiculous and they're embarrass like, how do
you let this assign Reddick thing go? And then someone
sent a scroll to Aaron Rodgers, and he unrolled it
with parchment and said, I can.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Make a phone call to mister Reddick, can try to
get him to report to camp, so we can go
on a fun ride together this season, maybe win a champion.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I think part of it was realize, Aaron, if this
goes south, your legacy sucks too. And that's the thing
he knows underneath. But it would be in your best interest,
not only for it would help us out a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
No, you're right, but for you it's kind of a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But look, but that's what makes me feel like, despite
all of this craziness and ridiculousness and whatever battles are
being fought behind closed doors, that the Jets are gonna
have a big season because Rogers knows, he knows his
legacy is on the line, and he is still full
bar ahead. Everything is great, We're gonna be great. He's
not gonna put any part of this season at risk.
(09:39):
That's why missing two practices to go to Egypt. If
it was really a big deal, he would have been there.
So I know he feels confident about where this season
is going and what he's going to do. So that's
what makes me feel like despite all this craziness, hey,
history owes me one for the last forty years, and
we're gonna get a big season this year. Because if
Rogers doesn't look like he's stressed by any thing, I'm
(10:00):
not gonna be. It's like, Rogers is my companion animal,
oh right, like like I would like you know, a
few years ago, we went to the San Diego Zoo
because they had a cheetah and I'm like, oh, this
is amazing, and they bring the cheat ouh, and they said,
you're gonna let let the cheat. You're gonna watch the
cheetah uh chase after like an electronic rabbit or something cool.
I had to grow up the thing and it's got
and and you know, and the cheat is coming out.
You're gonna see how many cheetahs just one cheetahah one
(10:21):
cheetah and and if you line them up and put
them in the stall, right, you got a secondary income.
And the rabbit was mechanical because they're not going to
show you that, Oh my goodness, what happened to that
poor rabbit? Nature people nature. So they bring the cheata
out and they go and you're also gonna meet Gus.
Gus is a four year old Labrador Retriever who is
the cheatah's companion animal, which, as you see when they
(10:42):
do for animals in the wild, if a domesticated animal
that they're friends with isn't stressed, they're not stressed. Because
here you have a cheetah coming out of wherever they
got the cheetah from, and now it's in captivity and
there's people watching, all kinds of people around the cheetas
going what the hell?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Man?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was by myself on the SERRANGETI there was nobody around.
It was just meet up bunch of will to beet
I'd run those things down in like four seconds. Man,
it was fun. Now, look at this guy. Some guys
wearing a white Sox T shirt. They I even know
a serengetti. They suck. And so the cheetah can get stressed.
But if Gus the labrador is hey, feeling fine, the
cheetah feels fall about that. So the cheetah makes a run.
(11:17):
And watching a cheetah run, like I see a cheeta
run in front of you, that's pretty easy. I feel
the same way, like Aaron Rodgers is my companion animal,
Like hey, all this crazy ass stuff with the jets.
If Rogers seems fine, okay, I'm fine. Okay, that's what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
All this stuff put underneath. This doesn't mean paddling like
a duck. If he's missed, man, I'm gonna get worried.
If he's man, I'm gonna get work. If I were
to rent a van and say, hey, November tenth, let's
go to Glendale, Arizona to see Aaron Rodgers, how would
you feel?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Why do you say rent to van like we're gonna
kidnap him out.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
We're gonna grab a bunch of bags, guys, We're gonna
do a giant road jack.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
How would you say in a van?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Why wouldn't you just say let's go to Arizona? And
NA wanted to make it a big fake. Hey, Aaron,
will you come and hang out with us? I got
a question for you in my van? What's that chloroform?
What's chlora.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
What you say? Really? What We're gonna get him? Point?
At no point?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
No, youuated that to do anything to Aaron Rodgers. You
say it was more just a hey, fellas, do you
want to go to Arizona to watch a game?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
You just say road trip? Instead, you said, hey, how
about we get a van, wink, wink, and we go
to Arizona.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I never winked you could play back that camera right now.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Why would you say Van. That's a trigger word right there.
Van is a trigger Why would you say that, let's
get a van?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Because I guess the image in my mind was old
school and they knew him. Duck, that guy from the
grocery store, parkast master, master of puppets. Anyway, November tenth,
is he's still quarterbacking?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Yes he is. It's Kyler Burry. Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I will give you the odds of both of them
quarterbacking that game less than fifteen percent, less than fifteen percent.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
See, I found the guys that game in November. I
don't want to be scheduled. It just has a giant
flaming dumpster next day.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Man, that's stuff that could that game, that game could
be to Rod Taylor and Kurt Warner.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
I mean, that's actually done. He might still be able
to like fling it. There's like fifteen percent chance that's
going on.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But I mean, I look with all the stuff going on,
because you can tell there are so many things with
the Jets and Rogers and how they get along and
how they talk about their business. And again no coincidence
that after yesterday's embarrassed with Reddick, here's Rogers to the rescue.
Oh I could do this for you.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Got no no again?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Walls had ears And you want to talk about a
guy who is dialed in on everything being said. He's
like Batman when he had all of that stuff on
the wall, Like I don't think this is right. Nah,
We're gonna use it. He's my.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Compad.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's not stressed. I'm not stressed. When he's stressed, that's
a different story. Then I'll get a little man, you
know what to do? Aaron Rodgers as a helper animal.
He's uh, you know, pray for Mojo, the Monkeys and
the Simpsons as your inspiration at how about a Fresco exit?
Out about a Fresco exit swollen dome. That's me and
(14:12):
Mike here at Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show.
Is my best friend, Mike Carmony gay.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
If he's not stressed, I'm not stress. Pray for Mojo.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Now call us on Reddick and get him in as
fast as you can.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Coming up next, we got John Paul Morosi stopping by
our certain teams in Major League Baseball falling out of

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
Got John Paul Morosi coming up in a second. But
let me just say this, right as upset as I
was after the Mets loss of the A's tonight, Right, yeah,
you're pretty salty.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
They can't beat anybody who stinks, right, we can't. We
can't beat the Angels. The A's come in. Austin Adams
gets the final out of the game against the Mets tonight.
And after he got that's the last out, after he
strikes out Francisco Alvarez. Uh or this in the fifth inning, Sorry,
in the fifth inning, not in the ninth inning. In
the fifth inning, the Mets had cut it to seven
to four, and they had first and second with nobody out,
(16:11):
and Adams knuckles down and he gets out of the
inning without giving up any more runs. He strikes out
Alvarez to end the inning, and he finishes, and he
turns and he blows kisses, and he makes fun of
the OMG celebration that the Mets do, the song Isaia Iglesias,
and he turns on you can read his lips, go him,
get the blank out of here, you blank in, piece
of blank. And he's screaming that all the way back
(16:33):
to the dugout Now this is starting to go viral,
and I just want to say that if the Mets
don't win the next two games by twenty runs, then
they need they need a clubhouse meeting to say, hey,
what the hell are we doing?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
So as he's a note already gone in about beanballs,
the A's have come into to City Field, and you
got the guy yelling get the blank out of here,
you piece of blank.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And he's yelling shut the blank, and he's going crazy.
This is in the fifth inning, coming off the field.
I'm gonna make fun of them.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Beat.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I'm sick in this celebration. The omg Isaiah lats is candalita.
The Mets got to win these next two games by
twenty runs. You got trolled by the A's twenty runs.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
This is it even embarrassing? You know, Jonah Hill and
Brad Pitton moneyball.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
No, no, no, this is where something's got to happen.
Now he's got money's not on the field here.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
If only we knew someone that could get this message
to Mets President of Baseball Operations David sterns Oh wait
a minute, joining us now in the hot lot, we
got a guy former roommate of David Sterns and co
host of Sterensy and the Pope, the Baseball Morning Show
sweeping the nation. MLB Network insider Extraordinary, John Paul Morosi
(17:39):
is on Twitter at John Morosi. John Paul, there's my
I haven't called you up for this in a while,
but there's my next message for Sternsey.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
The next two games, they got to win them by
twenty runs.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I will do my very best to make sure that
that happens. All right, I'm gonna send out the message
to the Metropolo things that Jason Smith is expecting a
resounding reply after this great moment of disrespect.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That would be a see. This is why cheet, John Paul.
This is why you get the big money. Because I
would not have worded it that way. There'd have been
much more profanity. You're wording it in a great way.
So that's good.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I appreciate that, and you the best I can. Guys,
bring bring a little bit of lemony in the circumstances
and listen. This is this is Pennant Race baseball. I
can't remember where I was at last week. I was
doing a game with Yandre Alonso and he said this.
He said, basically, August is the time of year. Yonder
(18:43):
told me that that you really tend to get especially agitated,
even at your own teammates, but especially at the other team.
And so this is the time of year where basically
you like nobody because you're you're been in it for
so long, you're still a good distance from the playoffs,
(19:04):
and you're just it's hot, you don't feel good, you're
a little bit tired, a little bit cranky, and like
Yonder told me, you like nobody. And so this this
does not surprised me that that is that that is
what happened in the Metropolitan game this evening.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
In other words, a Tuesday, you like nobody.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You made Smith crack up here in.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
JP Sally picturing, I'm saying, yes, this happens in your
house sometimes when you're when you spend a lot of
time in close quarters, and I'm just picturing, like John Paul,
I'm picturing you getting ready for your hit on MLB
network and your wife walking by and going again with
the trade deadline? Is there anything again with the trade deadline?
Is there anything else you could talk about? Anything else?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
And she walks by you and walks away.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Right, No, you're exactly right.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
It was.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It was funny. I'll tell you this. I brought I
brought my wife and our girls to a minor league
game on Sunday, and and I'm bringing them around the ballpark.
The broadcast their friend of mine was given us kind
of like behind the scenes. Two very gracious and I'm
looking around at my kids and they're just kind. They're like,
they're looking at the screens. I think it's kind of interesting.
(20:10):
They think that the stacks are interesting. But I'm like, girls,
it's the baseball that's interesting. The game. This is, this
is what dad loved since I was two, and I'm
an old man. Now that's a lot of years of love.
I love all of you more than baseball, but I've
loved baseball for longer. Okay, so like, let's be real
(20:31):
about this. And so I'm trying to explain this to them,
and it was amazing to say, my goodness, that they
they have a lot of creativity and spark and things
things that they love in life. Baseball though, is not
really one of them. Yet. I'm still still not living
up hope. But as I'm watching them taking this to her,
like like I am still after all these years fascinated
(20:55):
at the back of the house of a minor league
ball park. To me, it's so cool. And and they're
all like, hey, dad, there are here, Like, yes, there's
baseball here, everybody. That's why we're here. It's the baseball.
It's not the food. It's the baseball.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
No, JP, Look, I got my younger daughter plays soccer,
so sports is at least in the picture. But until
they had as teenagers, friends get excited and their parents
get excited about what I do for work and what
Jason and I get to do here talking to you
and and others each night, they didn't really care as
(21:30):
long as the food was on the table and they
were driven to wherever they needed to be. So I
feel your pain.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, And I will say that my middle daughter, my
nine year old, does does this spot on like impersonation
of how I speak to people and and oh, Hi, Hi,
I'm John ROSSI. What's your name? Where are you from?
Who's your favorite team?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
From town? I love that place, your place in that town.
And I'm like, Elena, how do you know all the
local ticks that I have about how I talked to you.
It's a great town, great place. Love the Italian place
there people say that Joey over there at the at
DG Or'donald's restaurant. You know, whatever it is, he's so funny.
(22:18):
You know what you got it absolutely to the to
the absolute syllable of how I talk to people now.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Knowing you and us being friends for a decade.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The time you're gonna have to worry about it is
when you ask her a question at the dinner table
and she said, you know, it's a great question, Dad.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You know that that was an excellent question.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
That's a great question.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Tremendous Dad, tremendous observation on your part, tremendous thought. That's
a very thoughtful question. Dead. I too share some concerns
about the best bullpen, but we'll get to that later. Dad,
Could you please, can you please pass the asparagus?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
So let's go to the other side. Let's go to
the Yankees playing my beloved White Sox drummed yesterday, come
back with a four to one win tonight. Three home
runs Juan Soto first time in his career. Every time
it looks like they're sliding, you still go back to
the standings and they're atop the al East.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
What's what's the ceiling here? What are we what are
we looking at?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, for me, it has to do with with their resiliency.
They've still got, to your point, two of the best
five hitters in baseball, and when you have that, it's
amazingly resilient in terms of your ability to find ways
to win ballgame. And they're starting. Pitching has been good enough,
and that hasn't been great, but it's been good enough.
The bullpen's been solid enough, and when you've got superstars
(23:41):
at this level, I think that sets you apart. Now
jas Chism being on the il is concerning we'll see
what that means now in terms of his of his injury,
because he really, I think has been one of the
separators for them in the last couple of weeks as well.
But I found this part interesting as we're talking about,
you know, getting ready. Actually I Milwaukee right now. We've
got the game tomorrow night at Dodgers Brewers on THAT'B network,
(24:04):
and I was I was tabulating and looking around at
the different teams and how how much use they have.
The Brewers have four four players are who already have
three hundred played appearances, who are twenty five and younger.
They're the only contending team with four regulars who are
twenty five and younger. And I looked and said, Okay,
I wonder so, first of all, how many players of
(24:26):
this type of the Mets aff The answer, Savvy Jason
is zero. They have nobody who is twenty five and
younger and a regular player. The Yankees have one guy
who's in his age twenty five season or younger with
three hundred played appearances. You know who that is? Jan Soda.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
One.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
SODA's twenty five years old. He's in his age twenty
five seasons. And that, to me is just it's amazing
to say that, because it feels like he's a ten
year veteran. The dude is in his age twenty five season.
He's in an age where most mortals in this game
are still just figuring it out, whether it's the Joey
(25:05):
Ortiz like I was looking up with the Brewers. He's
still a young player. And that's why we go back
and forth about what is contract's gonna have to be
and will they have to go above Aaron Judges to
sign them. Yes, they will, they they will, they have to.
I don't think Aaron Judge is gonna worry about how
(25:27):
many zeros are on Juan Soto's check compared to his.
He wants to win, and Juan Soto is a special
player who helps you win. And if the Yankees don't
give him a contract for more than what Aaron Judge got,
somebody else will.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
All right, John Paul, you talked about you got the
Dodgers and the Brewers coming up tomorrow night and MLB
network you're gonna be doing that game. Another big blow
for them today, River Ryan out for the season, is
gonna have Tommy John surgery, probably out next year as well.
The Dodgers hoping Walker Buehler, who's gonna start tomorrow night,
is going to be back and being close to the
Walker Buehler from a few years ago. At this point now,
(26:05):
the Dodgers every day seem to be losing somebody and
getting somebody back. Are they just going through a rough
patch they have to navigate, or is this real concern
for the deep October run you expect them to make well.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I mean, that is, by the way, a great question,
Thank you nice that that is the essential question with
this team. Tonight they were very fortunate Stone started pitch
well and Knack started pitching, and that came in and
pitched the final four inning, saved the bullpen. That was
really important. I think Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor, who
(26:39):
of course is the Dodgers pitching coasts, they're going to
have to be more creative than ever. They've had a
ton of injuries. That is clear that their their Plan A,
Plan B, Plan C basically all gone away. Yamamoto is
still in the IL. They hope that builder Bounds is
back in a big way tomorrow. Bobby Miller is not
(26:59):
on the row right now. Ryan is out for the year.
James Paxson was traded now he's heard too. So they've
had just this incredibly bad run of pitching luck or
pitching design, if you want to call it that, and
say that they just have done a poor job of
collecting durable pitchers, which is a fair criticism in in
(27:20):
my opinion. But this is who they are, guys, this
is who they are. The deadline has passed. There's nobody
sitting there at Triple A who's ready to save the
season like a Clayton Kershoff from two thousand and eight,
so to speak. There's no one like that, and they
are who they are right now. I think that tomorrow,
and I'm not just saying it because it's our broadcast,
(27:42):
is going to be a massive day in the Dodgers season,
because if Bueller can come back and look like himself,
then then they've got a shot at this. If he
is average or below and doesn't look like he's going
to be able to be a difference maker down, then
basically they're just in. They're in the soup of all
(28:04):
these teams that have a chance, and they're not really special.
In my estimation, their lineup is special. Otani was great
again tonight, Mookie's back. They're two for two with Bookie
back in the lineup. But I look at the pitching
and say, if Buewler is good and as kurse Shot
can keep building, Flaharty obviously has been good so far.
(28:25):
I mean, there's enough to dream on there, but the
margin for error is basically zero, and there are other
teams that will feel just as good about their pitching.
And again, same thing that happened as the last two years.
The Dodgers likely get a buy They're gonna have to
play a team that just came off winning a wild
(28:46):
card series like the Potrays two years ago, like the
d Backs last year, and we know how both those
series turned out. And the only way for them to
fight back against that is to get their pitching and
as good as a place as it can be in
in the next six weeks. And a huge step for
that is tomorrow with Boeler on the mount.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi. That is at John Ross.
You don't forget to listen to Stearns, get in the
Pope Morning Show across the world, the best there is
America and Major League Baseball by storm. He asked very
good questions, he answers very good questions. He is our man,
and he's on Twitter at John Morosi. John Paul is
always buddy, appreciated and enjoy the game tomorrow we'll talk
(29:26):
to you then.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
My pleasure to my friends, and hey, guess what we're
coming up on a little bit of football talk to
sprinkle in there, a little Detroit Lions talk, little Michigan
football talk. So what a great time he is.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Hey, Well, now that Harbaugh's pulled out of being the
honorary captain Michigan's opener, you could be the honorary captain.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, I mean guys. Uh, we need to do a
whole Harbor segment next time. The bottom line is, it's
like it's like, Jim, you created enough headline. Okay, you're
just you're Your coast is out the West coast, my friend,
Just handle what's in front of you out there. Michigan's
got plenty of headlines to deal with on their own, right,
(30:06):
Just as they say, coach, coaching ball team, you're all good.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Make it easy. Anybody enjoy the game. We'll talk to JP,
have a good call, Thank you, great stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Think of that how massive a day it is, because
now at this point it's okay, nobody is coming back
for us.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The only guy we have left is Walker Bueller. We're
hoping that Kershaw continues to build.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
The little great yesterday, right, but you know you're hoping that,
but you're still at like low eighties ye in terms
of a pitch count, and and then that's still kind
of pushing it. You know, you're hoping Flaherty continue, okay,
but like Bueller's your guy. It's like, okay, now if
you're going into the playoffs and suddenly, okay, these are
our three and Bueller becomes the playoff guy. That he
all right, but think about if.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Not, you're really stuck.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I told you that's why I'm a concern for the
Dodgers out of ten because this is a World Series
or bus season and there's nobody else riding to the rescue.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
This is it now.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
We didn't get into it there, we didn't have time
with JP and this will be just the brief throwing
it out into the universe. Is this an extension of
what Dusty Baker used to do to arms in Chicago?
Because look at all these guys one after another in
la oh, yeah, like it's a launder And now James
Pax is hurt. Does he get tagged as one of
those guys retrog they only made three appearances who they
(31:22):
let go to bring up River Ryan? Yes, and now
they both are hurt. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
No, So you're saying, Dave Roberts is Dusty Baker without
the sweat bands and the toothpicks.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
A lot going on, and.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
I know they just had Dusty back and they had
a bobblehead night, know whatever, But like the laundry list
of injuries to pitchers is really frightening at this point.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
The Mets can't beat the A's Now the season is
no longer going strong.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Smith Show with It was in the spring, my best
friend Mike Harmony in this.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Summer, did you guys get swept? It's only one game?
One game, so you got swept one game? No, there's
still two more. But they still lost, right right, But that's.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
One the moment you're getting swet, you have to lose.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Sure you are sure that was more of a raking
sound effect you use and that play it again.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Okay, now that's a rake. That's not that's that's a rake.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I know you could be that. That is the plastic
rake on cement. That's what that is. Yeah, tell me
anything you've ever swept that sounds like that.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Plenty nothing. I used to work on a ranch. I
used to work for a guy that killed people. Well,
that would have to dissolve the bodies and put him
in a trunk and take him somewhere.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But you have to.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Swear you trying to steal on my life story to
sweep up some of the blood and guts I know
what that's like, Jason.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
I don't know what he did for business, but he
was wealthy.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Okay, I'm just saying he had a lot of property
with cement asphalt and when you would brush leaves off,
that's how it sound.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Whatever he was using to for the soil was working
really well.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Is what he's trying to do is vegetables, all right?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Uh to Macco today Cowboys, Micah Parson said he was
sure Ceedee Lamb is going to suit up for week one.
Ceedee Lamb, who's now day twenty one of his holdout,
and Micah Parson said, Lamb reached out to him and said, oh,
you're going crazy and practice after watching practice holim on
his tablet. These guys had a back and forth and
he thinks that Ceede Lamb's going to be there for
(33:31):
the opening game.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Now here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I agree, Cede Lamb will be there because the Cowboys
and Cede Lamb will reach some sort of agreement where hey,
because the Cowboys have money under the cap, it will
be come in. We'll give you X amount of more
dollars for this year and then figure it out after
next year. Because as we've told you, Jerry Jones is
not giving out more money. He is seeing how this
year goes, and then there's going to be big changes
(33:56):
to the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach, quarterback, wide receiver. Everyone
is accountable.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
He's on the report today, something we've been theorizing forever.
If it goes south. Bill Belichick is in rehab mode.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
So this was Jerry Jones yesterday when he was asked
about CD Lamb missing practice and missing camp, and Jerry
Jones says, I'm missing you, but I'm not really missing you.
Here's the Jerry Jones word sound.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
I think I got in trouble a little the other
day when I said, look, we're not urgent about CD. Well,
no one appreciates cg being own the feel anymore than
I did. But let me say this, he wouldn't be
taking a snap out here today if you'd been here
for You've got to use your head when you expose
key players. That gives the other younger players a chance
(34:44):
to do it. We know exactly what CD can do,
and he worked out with that, and so we wouldn't
have him out here. It has really not anything to
do with his contract.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Oh are there Avocado's in that word salad. Yes, great,
Thank you very much, Jerry. Now here's where we're I
think everybody's really gonna finally understand Jerry Jones isn't giving
out big contracts. In everything he has said this summer,
just just just your your your reaction in everything he
has said this summer. When it comes to Dak Prescott,
no wordency to get anything done. Dak is here looking
(35:15):
at this season ce d Lamb, no wordency to get
anything done. He said that we missed we missed cd Lamb,
but we wouldn't miss him today because he wouldn't be
playing everything Jerry Jones is said. Does anything he has
said make you think that, hey, a negotiation and a
signing of Dak.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Prescott or Ceede Lamb is around the corner zero?
Speaker 5 (35:37):
There's nothing he said, It's urgent, nothing, nothing, And he's
actually used the word you know that it's not urgent,
that he doesn't need to be on the field anything else.
It's just one of those as we've talked about a
lot with Jerry the Showman, going back to his days
of come and see My Monkeys, uh and everything else,
is that this is the It's a lot of that.
(35:59):
And then in the eleventh hour, does he suddenly get
cold cold feet?
Speaker 4 (36:03):
That's the only question he would.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Be saying, Hey, don't worry, everything is fine. We're gonna
figure it out.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
This is to go.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Everything he said in the past when it's come to
Dak or Ezekiel Elliott or anybody else, but everything he
has said this summer, no urgen.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Has anybody asked though, I don't need to about about
the Ezekiel Elliott And now I gotta watch him every
day being a number one running back after we let
him go and brought him back again.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
So uh uh, yeah, we're gonna devalue the running back.
Let me serious.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
There's nothing he has said that has made you think, oh,
a solution is around the corner or at some point
in the not too distant future for both of these guys.
Everything has been there's no sense of urgency, there's no
need to get it done. The guys will be there.
There's nothing, and that's different from everything Jerry Jones has
said before. Nothing he has said this summer tells you that, oh,
(36:58):
extensions for Dak and See the Lamb are coming. They're not.
They're simply not. He is okay with losing at least
DAK and maybe CD as well after this season.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Chaos theory of Jerry Jones still think when it hits
eleven fifty nine, he's there with a penitive paper.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
He's like, sign this, please exit out about a fresco
x at Swollen Dome.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
That's all you need to know about the Cowboys.

big day of news and holdouts. First, Aaron Rodgers of
(00:58):
the Jets says, Oh, you need me to call Hassan
Reddick to Hey, I could do that. Guys, you should
have asked me the fuck I could do that at all.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, all you have to do is ask I could
do that. I can't.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I'm not just gonna do that as a leader of
the team and franchise where everybody is pinned the hopes
and dreams and the entire city.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
How often do you think, how often do you really
think like Robert Sala and Joe Douglas actually talk to
Aaron Rodgers, Like don't you think, like, hey, you know
we have the OC and the court where they are
intermediaries through and and and Sala and yeah, Aaron just
kind of does this thing. He just talks through. Really
when does like when do you think Sala actually talks
(01:40):
to Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Well, I think it's really They just fed questions to
Boomer Geo for that conversation and it was like, uh,
the subtext listen, you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Want to talk to Aaron Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm the
head gum. I want to commit Now. I know, dude,
you're my offensive corder Nathaniel Like, you're an awful offense
you were a bad head coach, you're a bad offensive
court in. For some reason, Aaron Rodgers likes you. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
do not look at me in the eyes. Do not
do not look at me in the eyes. You're talking
to me, and when you go in there, you damn
sure don't look Aaron Rodgers in the eyes.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Coach, you know what you need to do. It's a
suggestion box outside the door. It's also a place where
you can make requests.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's Look, this is the case of suddenly in in
in reports of the last few days, where the relationship
between Rogers and Solid you don't know where it's at
because you get they're not communicating. Robert Sala saying, oh,
I'm holding Aaron Rodgers out of the first couple of preseason. Oh,
that's news to me. He said he wanted to play
(02:38):
in the in the intersquad scream or in the in
the in the joint practice last week, but the field
was wet. Uh no, we're not doing it. Oh I
wanted to play. So you get the sense already that
the two barely talk, but the fact that you're.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Saying Aaron Rodgers that he wanted to play, but you no,
I'm sure he did. I'm sure I wanted to play
a little bit. Oh you know. Look, the guy wants
to play.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
The guy doesn't want to not play, And especially from
the perspective of I really want to get like I'm
antsy to get some plays in physical because I've played
four snaps last year. And I ran for my life
on three of them. I'm tired put me and them.
So yeah, no, so I want so, I want to
play a little. But so I'm sure that's that's part
of it. But to hear today, like after the Reddick
(03:18):
drama of a day ago, Rogers just swoop in and something,
Oh I could I could call him if you want,
Like that was the question. Yeah, I think. And when
he was asked by Jets reporters, do you think any
winked and said, yeah, I think that's a conversation, not gonna.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh you need me, you can't. Oh yeah, I can
do that though I can.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Be your king maker. I can help you out of that.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Like that's just.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
How much do you think they that Rogers doesn't live
on an island by himself with the players and the
coaches that he needs and Salah and Douglaster guy just
you're just on the outside looking on the outside. Now,
we'll let you know when we need you. The good
news is it doesn't matter. I've told you Robert sala
is a bad head coach. But it doesn't matter because
this is another thing. They're asking Aaron Rodgers to cover,
(04:02):
cover bad moves like we trade for a player that
we didn't know was gonna hold out, and now we
look stupid. Cover for that, cover for the fact we
have a head coach that really is in over his
head cover for all of these things.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
This is what Aaron Rodgers has to do.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
And now, oh, the general manager and the head coach
can't get this guy in. Ah, hey, I'll I'll make
a phone call for you. I'll help you out, buddy.
No way, Yeah, I'll call Hassan Reddick. He said, Hey,
Hassan Reddick. I hope he's here. I want him do
what's best for his family. But it's gonna be a
fun ride that you know what's fun. I want him
to be a part of it. I can make a
lot of.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Runs in parallel with Charles Berkley now telling anybody who listened,
he's a savior of all these people's jobs and livelihoods forever.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Aaron Rodgers is now that guy for the Jets. I
can do all this. I can save everything.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Ask me, man, does I know our head coach and
general manager should be the ones on top of this
and they shouldn't have made a trade for a guidance
not here that I can't even when they do the
update on the story every night, you can't even show
him in jets gear because he's never spent one day.
So you still see him going through practice with the
Eagles a year ago.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No, there's some guys with.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Their card art skills that can photoshop those up real
nice scory and help you out with that, buddy, I
can just let me know I would have got Ah.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I can make that call. He wants to be your savior.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
This is you know, and they're giving him every opportunity
to step in and and he knows it.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He recognizes the position of power that he is, not
just the responsibility of it. If this collapses, everything is
torn asunder and they put all their eggs in the
in the basket. He was able to get all his
buddies jobs and nepotism, hey, whatever, have at it. But
all of that recognizing, okay, with with the franchise, the city,
(05:44):
everybody's looking at me as the savior. But also this
gives me a lot of sway to kind of do
what I want. And they're gonna need my help if
they want to get there, not just my performance, but
also my help to allay any of these years and
build those bridges back where they may have singed them.
(06:05):
You know what the jets are. Here's the jets are.
The Jets are like the Crown.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
They're the Royal Family, which everybody needs to be on
the same page for the Royal Family to continue to succeed,
for the people to continue to love them, for them
to keep living in Buckingham Palace and be viewed as
the big rock stars and continue on to have the
monarchy right. The Royal family needs to be looked at
as a whole, so we all have to be kind
(06:32):
of on the same page. But then you get inside
the Royal family and you realize it's Oh, Charles needs
to have somebody get this message to someone who can
get this message to Diana about an appearance they have
to make on Friday. That's very important, and even though
they're not really speaking, they need to be there together
to show a united front and all the drama you
(06:54):
know that's going on behind the scenes when they show
up and wave out of a balcony. Oh look there's
Charles and Diana.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
They're together.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
They Are you talking about this from a historical perspective?
Are you watching that show? No, I watched the show.
I watch the show. The first two seasons are some
of the best TV the last fifteen years. And I'm
gonna be real honest, the next scale of zero to
one hundred zero of where I have the interest, I
am beyond this.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I had zero interest in the crowd zero. I mean,
I had absolutely zero interest in it, and I was
just watch, just watching why. And by the end of
the first episode, you're hooked. And the first two seasons
are incredible television. And then it's like Hunger Games. How
many of the Harry Potter cast members show up.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
To They all do?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
They all did, They're all in there, and Dumbledore comes
in at the end and he waves a magic wand
and the Queen d ages from ninety nine back to
twenty five. It's really fantastic about that. But like it's
like Hunger Games, where each Hunger Games book and movie
was worse than one before it. Like, the first two
seasons were great, the next two seasons we're good, not
as good as the first two, And the last two
seasons you're just waiting for.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It to end.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
So the last two seasons are equivalent to trap. I mean,
I mean McNulty is Prince Charles. I mean, come on,
it's like, dude, I can't get pass that. But that's
where the Jets are. You know that, Hey, we're functioning
as one.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
And we're all in this.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
We all know we have to function as one. But
behind the scenes, it's, oh, get this message to the queen.
I need fifteen minutes. Well, the Queen's gonna call to
meet with the Prime minister. So the Prime Minister's got
to take time out of his day to come over
and meet with the Queen so they can be on
the same page. Like I feel like that's the Jets,
like it's, hey, whatever it is to make Rogers happy,
But this is the reality they bought. They bought Aaron
(08:27):
Rodgers coming in to save the team. So when you
do that, you gotta let him do his thing. Gotta
let him save the team. This is where you're at.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Which is where and clutch sports. I mean it just
spills all over the place. I mean, this is how
you go from a day ago. It's how do you
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The Jets are ridiculous and they're embarrass like, how do
you let this assign Reddick thing go? And then someone
sent a scroll to Aaron Rodgers, and he unrolled it
with parchment and said, I can.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Make a phone call to mister Reddick, can try to
get him to report to camp, so we can go
on a fun ride together this season, maybe win a champion.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I think part of it was realize, Aaron, if this
goes south, your legacy sucks too. And that's the thing
he knows underneath. But it would be in your best interest,
not only for it would help us out a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
No, you're right, but for you it's kind of a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But look, but that's what makes me feel like, despite
all of this craziness and ridiculousness and whatever battles are
being fought behind closed doors, that the Jets are gonna
have a big season because Rogers knows, he knows his
legacy is on the line, and he is still full
bar ahead. Everything is great, We're gonna be great. He's
not gonna put any part of this season at risk.
(09:39):
That's why missing two practices to go to Egypt. If
it was really a big deal, he would have been there.
So I know he feels confident about where this season
is going and what he's going to do. So that's
what makes me feel like despite all this craziness, hey,
history owes me one for the last forty years, and
we're gonna get a big season this year. Because if
Rogers doesn't look like he's stressed by any thing, I'm
(10:00):
not gonna be. It's like, Rogers is my companion animal,
oh right, like like I would like you know, a
few years ago, we went to the San Diego Zoo
because they had a cheetah and I'm like, oh, this
is amazing, and they bring the cheat ouh, and they said,
you're gonna let let the cheat. You're gonna watch the
cheetah uh chase after like an electronic rabbit or something cool.
I had to grow up the thing and it's got
and and you know, and the cheat is coming out.
You're gonna see how many cheetahs just one cheetahah one
(10:21):
cheetah and and if you line them up and put
them in the stall, right, you got a secondary income.
And the rabbit was mechanical because they're not going to
show you that, Oh my goodness, what happened to that
poor rabbit? Nature people nature. So they bring the cheata
out and they go and you're also gonna meet Gus.
Gus is a four year old Labrador Retriever who is
the cheatah's companion animal, which, as you see when they
(10:42):
do for animals in the wild, if a domesticated animal
that they're friends with isn't stressed, they're not stressed. Because
here you have a cheetah coming out of wherever they
got the cheetah from, and now it's in captivity and
there's people watching, all kinds of people around the cheetas
going what the hell?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Man?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was by myself on the SERRANGETI there was nobody around.
It was just meet up bunch of will to beet
I'd run those things down in like four seconds. Man,
it was fun. Now, look at this guy. Some guys
wearing a white Sox T shirt. They I even know
a serengetti. They suck. And so the cheetah can get stressed.
But if Gus the labrador is hey, feeling fine, the
cheetah feels fall about that. So the cheetah makes a run.
(11:17):
And watching a cheetah run, like I see a cheeta
run in front of you, that's pretty easy. I feel
the same way, like Aaron Rodgers is my companion animal,
Like hey, all this crazy ass stuff with the jets.
If Rogers seems fine, okay, I'm fine. Okay, that's what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
All this stuff put underneath. This doesn't mean paddling like
a duck. If he's missed, man, I'm gonna get worried.
If he's man, I'm gonna get work. If I were
to rent a van and say, hey, November tenth, let's
go to Glendale, Arizona to see Aaron Rodgers, how would
you feel?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Why do you say rent to van like we're gonna
kidnap him out.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
We're gonna grab a bunch of bags, guys, We're gonna
do a giant road jack.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
How would you say in a van?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Why wouldn't you just say let's go to Arizona? And
NA wanted to make it a big fake. Hey, Aaron,
will you come and hang out with us? I got
a question for you in my van? What's that chloroform?
What's chlora.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
What you say? Really? What We're gonna get him? Point?
At no point?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
No, youuated that to do anything to Aaron Rodgers. You
say it was more just a hey, fellas, do you
want to go to Arizona to watch a game?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
You just say road trip? Instead, you said, hey, how
about we get a van, wink, wink, and we go
to Arizona.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I never winked you could play back that camera right now.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Why would you say Van. That's a trigger word right there.
Van is a trigger Why would you say that, let's
get a van?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Because I guess the image in my mind was old
school and they knew him. Duck, that guy from the
grocery store, parkast master, master of puppets. Anyway, November tenth,
is he's still quarterbacking?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Yes he is. It's Kyler Burry. Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I will give you the odds of both of them
quarterbacking that game less than fifteen percent, less than fifteen percent.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
See, I found the guys that game in November. I
don't want to be scheduled. It just has a giant
flaming dumpster next day.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Man, that's stuff that could that game, that game could
be to Rod Taylor and Kurt Warner.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
I mean, that's actually done. He might still be able
to like fling it. There's like fifteen percent chance that's
going on.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But I mean, I look with all the stuff going on,
because you can tell there are so many things with
the Jets and Rogers and how they get along and
how they talk about their business. And again no coincidence
that after yesterday's embarrassed with Reddick, here's Rogers to the rescue.
Oh I could do this for you.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Got no no again?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Walls had ears And you want to talk about a
guy who is dialed in on everything being said. He's
like Batman when he had all of that stuff on
the wall, Like I don't think this is right. Nah,
We're gonna use it. He's my.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Compad.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's not stressed. I'm not stressed. When he's stressed, that's
a different story. Then I'll get a little man, you
know what to do? Aaron Rodgers as a helper animal.
He's uh, you know, pray for Mojo, the Monkeys and
the Simpsons as your inspiration at how about a Fresco exit?
Out about a Fresco exit swollen dome. That's me and
(14:12):
Mike here at Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show.
Is my best friend, Mike Carmony gay.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
If he's not stressed, I'm not stress. Pray for Mojo.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Now call us on Reddick and get him in as
fast as you can.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Coming up next, we got John Paul Morosi stopping by
our certain teams in Major League Baseball falling out of

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
Got John Paul Morosi coming up in a second. But
let me just say this, right as upset as I
was after the Mets loss of the A's tonight, Right, yeah,
you're pretty salty.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
They can't beat anybody who stinks, right, we can't. We
can't beat the Angels. The A's come in. Austin Adams
gets the final out of the game against the Mets tonight.
And after he got that's the last out, after he
strikes out Francisco Alvarez. Uh or this in the fifth inning, Sorry,
in the fifth inning, not in the ninth inning. In
the fifth inning, the Mets had cut it to seven
to four, and they had first and second with nobody out,
(16:11):
and Adams knuckles down and he gets out of the
inning without giving up any more runs. He strikes out
Alvarez to end the inning, and he finishes, and he
turns and he blows kisses, and he makes fun of
the OMG celebration that the Mets do, the song Isaia Iglesias,
and he turns on you can read his lips, go him,
get the blank out of here, you blank in, piece
of blank. And he's screaming that all the way back
(16:33):
to the dugout Now this is starting to go viral,
and I just want to say that if the Mets
don't win the next two games by twenty runs, then
they need they need a clubhouse meeting to say, hey,
what the hell are we doing?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
So as he's a note already gone in about beanballs,
the A's have come into to City Field, and you
got the guy yelling get the blank out of here,
you piece of blank.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And he's yelling shut the blank, and he's going crazy.
This is in the fifth inning, coming off the field.
I'm gonna make fun of them.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Beat.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I'm sick in this celebration. The omg Isaiah lats is candalita.
The Mets got to win these next two games by
twenty runs. You got trolled by the A's twenty runs.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
This is it even embarrassing? You know, Jonah Hill and
Brad Pitton moneyball.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
No, no, no, this is where something's got to happen.
Now he's got money's not on the field here.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
If only we knew someone that could get this message
to Mets President of Baseball Operations David sterns Oh wait
a minute, joining us now in the hot lot, we
got a guy former roommate of David Sterns and co
host of Sterensy and the Pope, the Baseball Morning Show
sweeping the nation. MLB Network insider Extraordinary, John Paul Morosi
(17:39):
is on Twitter at John Morosi. John Paul, there's my
I haven't called you up for this in a while,
but there's my next message for Sternsey.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
The next two games, they got to win them by
twenty runs.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I will do my very best to make sure that
that happens. All right, I'm gonna send out the message
to the Metropolo things that Jason Smith is expecting a
resounding reply after this great moment of disrespect.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That would be a see. This is why cheet, John Paul.
This is why you get the big money. Because I
would not have worded it that way. There'd have been
much more profanity. You're wording it in a great way.
So that's good.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I appreciate that, and you the best I can. Guys,
bring bring a little bit of lemony in the circumstances
and listen. This is this is Pennant Race baseball. I
can't remember where I was at last week. I was
doing a game with Yandre Alonso and he said this.
He said, basically, August is the time of year. Yonder
(18:43):
told me that that you really tend to get especially agitated,
even at your own teammates, but especially at the other team.
And so this is the time of year where basically
you like nobody because you're you're been in it for
so long, you're still a good distance from the playoffs,
(19:04):
and you're just it's hot, you don't feel good, you're
a little bit tired, a little bit cranky, and like
Yonder told me, you like nobody. And so this this
does not surprised me that that is that that is
what happened in the Metropolitan game this evening.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
In other words, a Tuesday, you like nobody.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You made Smith crack up here in.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
JP Sally picturing, I'm saying, yes, this happens in your
house sometimes when you're when you spend a lot of
time in close quarters, and I'm just picturing, like John Paul,
I'm picturing you getting ready for your hit on MLB
network and your wife walking by and going again with
the trade deadline? Is there anything again with the trade deadline?
Is there anything else you could talk about? Anything else?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
And she walks by you and walks away.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Right, No, you're exactly right.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
It was.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It was funny. I'll tell you this. I brought I
brought my wife and our girls to a minor league
game on Sunday, and and I'm bringing them around the ballpark.
The broadcast their friend of mine was given us kind
of like behind the scenes. Two very gracious and I'm
looking around at my kids and they're just kind. They're like,
they're looking at the screens. I think it's kind of interesting.
(20:10):
They think that the stacks are interesting. But I'm like, girls,
it's the baseball that's interesting. The game. This is, this
is what dad loved since I was two, and I'm
an old man. Now that's a lot of years of love.
I love all of you more than baseball, but I've
loved baseball for longer. Okay, so like, let's be real
(20:31):
about this. And so I'm trying to explain this to them,
and it was amazing to say, my goodness, that they
they have a lot of creativity and spark and things
things that they love in life. Baseball though, is not
really one of them. Yet. I'm still still not living
up hope. But as I'm watching them taking this to her,
like like I am still after all these years fascinated
(20:55):
at the back of the house of a minor league
ball park. To me, it's so cool. And and they're
all like, hey, dad, there are here, Like, yes, there's
baseball here, everybody. That's why we're here. It's the baseball.
It's not the food. It's the baseball.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
No, JP, Look, I got my younger daughter plays soccer,
so sports is at least in the picture. But until
they had as teenagers, friends get excited and their parents
get excited about what I do for work and what
Jason and I get to do here talking to you
and and others each night, they didn't really care as
(21:30):
long as the food was on the table and they
were driven to wherever they needed to be. So I
feel your pain.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, And I will say that my middle daughter, my
nine year old, does does this spot on like impersonation
of how I speak to people and and oh, Hi, Hi,
I'm John ROSSI. What's your name? Where are you from?
Who's your favorite team?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
From town? I love that place, your place in that town.
And I'm like, Elena, how do you know all the
local ticks that I have about how I talked to you.
It's a great town, great place. Love the Italian place
there people say that Joey over there at the at
DG Or'donald's restaurant. You know, whatever it is, he's so funny.
(22:18):
You know what you got it absolutely to the to
the absolute syllable of how I talk to people now.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Knowing you and us being friends for a decade.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The time you're gonna have to worry about it is
when you ask her a question at the dinner table
and she said, you know, it's a great question, Dad.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You know that that was an excellent question.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
That's a great question.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Tremendous Dad, tremendous observation on your part, tremendous thought. That's
a very thoughtful question. Dead. I too share some concerns
about the best bullpen, but we'll get to that later. Dad,
Could you please, can you please pass the asparagus?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
So let's go to the other side. Let's go to
the Yankees playing my beloved White Sox drummed yesterday, come
back with a four to one win tonight. Three home
runs Juan Soto first time in his career. Every time
it looks like they're sliding, you still go back to
the standings and they're atop the al East.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
What's what's the ceiling here? What are we what are
we looking at?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, for me, it has to do with with their resiliency.
They've still got, to your point, two of the best
five hitters in baseball, and when you have that, it's
amazingly resilient in terms of your ability to find ways
to win ballgame. And they're starting. Pitching has been good enough,
and that hasn't been great, but it's been good enough.
The bullpen's been solid enough, and when you've got superstars
(23:41):
at this level, I think that sets you apart. Now
jas Chism being on the il is concerning we'll see
what that means now in terms of his of his injury,
because he really, I think has been one of the
separators for them in the last couple of weeks as well.
But I found this part interesting as we're talking about,
you know, getting ready. Actually I Milwaukee right now. We've
got the game tomorrow night at Dodgers Brewers on THAT'B network,
(24:04):
and I was I was tabulating and looking around at
the different teams and how how much use they have.
The Brewers have four four players are who already have
three hundred played appearances, who are twenty five and younger.
They're the only contending team with four regulars who are
twenty five and younger. And I looked and said, Okay,
I wonder so, first of all, how many players of
(24:26):
this type of the Mets aff The answer, Savvy Jason
is zero. They have nobody who is twenty five and
younger and a regular player. The Yankees have one guy
who's in his age twenty five season or younger with
three hundred played appearances. You know who that is? Jan Soda.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
One.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
SODA's twenty five years old. He's in his age twenty
five seasons. And that, to me is just it's amazing
to say that, because it feels like he's a ten
year veteran. The dude is in his age twenty five season.
He's in an age where most mortals in this game
are still just figuring it out, whether it's the Joey
(25:05):
Ortiz like I was looking up with the Brewers. He's
still a young player. And that's why we go back
and forth about what is contract's gonna have to be
and will they have to go above Aaron Judges to
sign them. Yes, they will, they they will, they have to.
I don't think Aaron Judge is gonna worry about how
(25:27):
many zeros are on Juan Soto's check compared to his.
He wants to win, and Juan Soto is a special
player who helps you win. And if the Yankees don't
give him a contract for more than what Aaron Judge got,
somebody else will.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
All right, John Paul, you talked about you got the
Dodgers and the Brewers coming up tomorrow night and MLB
network you're gonna be doing that game. Another big blow
for them today, River Ryan out for the season, is
gonna have Tommy John surgery, probably out next year as well.
The Dodgers hoping Walker Buehler, who's gonna start tomorrow night,
is going to be back and being close to the
Walker Buehler from a few years ago. At this point now,
(26:05):
the Dodgers every day seem to be losing somebody and
getting somebody back. Are they just going through a rough
patch they have to navigate, or is this real concern
for the deep October run you expect them to make well.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I mean, that is, by the way, a great question,
Thank you nice that that is the essential question with
this team. Tonight they were very fortunate Stone started pitch
well and Knack started pitching, and that came in and
pitched the final four inning, saved the bullpen. That was
really important. I think Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor, who
(26:39):
of course is the Dodgers pitching coasts, they're going to
have to be more creative than ever. They've had a
ton of injuries. That is clear that their their Plan A,
Plan B, Plan C basically all gone away. Yamamoto is
still in the IL. They hope that builder Bounds is
back in a big way tomorrow. Bobby Miller is not
(26:59):
on the row right now. Ryan is out for the year.
James Paxson was traded now he's heard too. So they've
had just this incredibly bad run of pitching luck or
pitching design, if you want to call it that, and
say that they just have done a poor job of
collecting durable pitchers, which is a fair criticism in in
(27:20):
my opinion. But this is who they are, guys, this
is who they are. The deadline has passed. There's nobody
sitting there at Triple A who's ready to save the
season like a Clayton Kershoff from two thousand and eight,
so to speak. There's no one like that, and they
are who they are right now. I think that tomorrow,
and I'm not just saying it because it's our broadcast,
(27:42):
is going to be a massive day in the Dodgers season,
because if Bueller can come back and look like himself,
then then they've got a shot at this. If he
is average or below and doesn't look like he's going
to be able to be a difference maker down, then
basically they're just in. They're in the soup of all
(28:04):
these teams that have a chance, and they're not really special.
In my estimation, their lineup is special. Otani was great
again tonight, Mookie's back. They're two for two with Bookie
back in the lineup. But I look at the pitching
and say, if Buewler is good and as kurse Shot
can keep building, Flaharty obviously has been good so far.
(28:25):
I mean, there's enough to dream on there, but the
margin for error is basically zero, and there are other
teams that will feel just as good about their pitching.
And again, same thing that happened as the last two years.
The Dodgers likely get a buy They're gonna have to
play a team that just came off winning a wild
(28:46):
card series like the Potrays two years ago, like the
d Backs last year, and we know how both those
series turned out. And the only way for them to
fight back against that is to get their pitching and
as good as a place as it can be in
in the next six weeks. And a huge step for
that is tomorrow with Boeler on the mount.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi. That is at John Ross.
You don't forget to listen to Stearns, get in the
Pope Morning Show across the world, the best there is
America and Major League Baseball by storm. He asked very
good questions, he answers very good questions. He is our man,
and he's on Twitter at John Morosi. John Paul is
always buddy, appreciated and enjoy the game tomorrow we'll talk
(29:26):
to you then.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
My pleasure to my friends, and hey, guess what we're
coming up on a little bit of football talk to
sprinkle in there, a little Detroit Lions talk, little Michigan
football talk. So what a great time he is.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Hey, Well, now that Harbaugh's pulled out of being the
honorary captain Michigan's opener, you could be the honorary captain.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, I mean guys. Uh, we need to do a
whole Harbor segment next time. The bottom line is, it's
like it's like, Jim, you created enough headline. Okay, you're
just you're Your coast is out the West coast, my friend,
Just handle what's in front of you out there. Michigan's
got plenty of headlines to deal with on their own, right,
(30:06):
Just as they say, coach, coaching ball team, you're all good.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Make it easy. Anybody enjoy the game. We'll talk to JP,
have a good call, Thank you, great stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Think of that how massive a day it is, because
now at this point it's okay, nobody is coming back
for us.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The only guy we have left is Walker Bueller. We're
hoping that Kershaw continues to build.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
The little great yesterday, right, but you know you're hoping that,
but you're still at like low eighties ye in terms
of a pitch count, and and then that's still kind
of pushing it. You know, you're hoping Flaherty continue, okay,
but like Bueller's your guy. It's like, okay, now if
you're going into the playoffs and suddenly, okay, these are
our three and Bueller becomes the playoff guy. That he
all right, but think about if.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Not, you're really stuck.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I told you that's why I'm a concern for the
Dodgers out of ten because this is a World Series
or bus season and there's nobody else riding to the rescue.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
This is it now.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
We didn't get into it there, we didn't have time
with JP and this will be just the brief throwing
it out into the universe. Is this an extension of
what Dusty Baker used to do to arms in Chicago?
Because look at all these guys one after another in
la oh, yeah, like it's a launder And now James
Pax is hurt. Does he get tagged as one of
those guys retrog they only made three appearances who they
(31:22):
let go to bring up River Ryan? Yes, and now
they both are hurt. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
No, So you're saying, Dave Roberts is Dusty Baker without
the sweat bands and the toothpicks.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
A lot going on, and.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
I know they just had Dusty back and they had
a bobblehead night, know whatever, But like the laundry list
of injuries to pitchers is really frightening at this point.
Speaker 2 (31:42):

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Smith Show with It was in the spring, my best
friend Mike Harmony in this.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Summer, did you guys get swept? It's only one game?
One game, so you got swept one game? No, there's
still two more. But they still lost, right right, But that's.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
One the moment you're getting swet, you have to lose.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Sure you are sure that was more of a raking
sound effect you use and that play it again.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Okay, now that's a rake. That's not that's that's a rake.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I know you could be that. That is the plastic
rake on cement. That's what that is. Yeah, tell me
anything you've ever swept that sounds like that.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Plenty nothing. I used to work on a ranch. I
used to work for a guy that killed people. Well,
that would have to dissolve the bodies and put him
in a trunk and take him somewhere.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But you have to.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Swear you trying to steal on my life story to
sweep up some of the blood and guts I know
what that's like, Jason.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
I don't know what he did for business, but he
was wealthy.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Okay, I'm just saying he had a lot of property
with cement asphalt and when you would brush leaves off,
that's how it sound.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Whatever he was using to for the soil was working
really well.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Is what he's trying to do is vegetables, all right?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Uh to Macco today Cowboys, Micah Parson said he was
sure Ceedee Lamb is going to suit up for week one.
Ceedee Lamb, who's now day twenty one of his holdout,
and Micah Parson said, Lamb reached out to him and said, oh,
you're going crazy and practice after watching practice holim on
his tablet. These guys had a back and forth and
he thinks that Ceede Lamb's going to be there for
(33:31):
the opening game.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Now here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I agree, Cede Lamb will be there because the Cowboys
and Cede Lamb will reach some sort of agreement where hey,
because the Cowboys have money under the cap, it will
be come in. We'll give you X amount of more
dollars for this year and then figure it out after
next year. Because as we've told you, Jerry Jones is
not giving out more money. He is seeing how this
year goes, and then there's going to be big changes
(33:56):
to the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach, quarterback, wide receiver. Everyone
is accountable.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
He's on the report today, something we've been theorizing forever.
If it goes south. Bill Belichick is in rehab mode.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
So this was Jerry Jones yesterday when he was asked
about CD Lamb missing practice and missing camp, and Jerry
Jones says, I'm missing you, but I'm not really missing you.
Here's the Jerry Jones word sound.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
I think I got in trouble a little the other
day when I said, look, we're not urgent about CD. Well,
no one appreciates cg being own the feel anymore than
I did. But let me say this, he wouldn't be
taking a snap out here today if you'd been here
for You've got to use your head when you expose
key players. That gives the other younger players a chance
(34:44):
to do it. We know exactly what CD can do,
and he worked out with that, and so we wouldn't
have him out here. It has really not anything to
do with his contract.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Oh are there Avocado's in that word salad. Yes, great,
Thank you very much, Jerry. Now here's where we're I
think everybody's really gonna finally understand Jerry Jones isn't giving
out big contracts. In everything he has said this summer,
just just just your your your reaction in everything he
has said this summer. When it comes to Dak Prescott,
no wordency to get anything done. Dak is here looking
(35:15):
at this season ce d Lamb, no wordency to get
anything done. He said that we missed we missed cd Lamb,
but we wouldn't miss him today because he wouldn't be
playing everything Jerry Jones is said. Does anything he has
said make you think that, hey, a negotiation and a
signing of Dak.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Prescott or Ceede Lamb is around the corner zero?
Speaker 5 (35:37):
There's nothing he said, It's urgent, nothing, nothing, And he's
actually used the word you know that it's not urgent,
that he doesn't need to be on the field anything else.
It's just one of those as we've talked about a
lot with Jerry the Showman, going back to his days
of come and see My Monkeys, uh and everything else,
is that this is the It's a lot of that.
(35:59):
And then in the eleventh hour, does he suddenly get
cold cold feet?
Speaker 4 (36:03):
That's the only question he would.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Be saying, Hey, don't worry, everything is fine. We're gonna
figure it out.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
This is to go.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Everything he said in the past when it's come to
Dak or Ezekiel Elliott or anybody else, but everything he
has said this summer, no urgen.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Has anybody asked though, I don't need to about about
the Ezekiel Elliott And now I gotta watch him every
day being a number one running back after we let
him go and brought him back again.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
So uh uh, yeah, we're gonna devalue the running back.
Let me serious.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
There's nothing he has said that has made you think, oh,
a solution is around the corner or at some point
in the not too distant future for both of these guys.
Everything has been there's no sense of urgency, there's no
need to get it done. The guys will be there.
There's nothing, and that's different from everything Jerry Jones has
said before. Nothing he has said this summer tells you that, oh,
(36:58):
extensions for Dak and See the Lamb are coming. They're not.
They're simply not. He is okay with losing at least
DAK and maybe CD as well after this season.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Chaos theory of Jerry Jones still think when it hits
eleven fifty nine, he's there with a penitive paper.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
He's like, sign this, please exit out about a fresco
x at Swollen Dome.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
That's all you need to know about the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Let's talk conspiracy theory about a recent NFL draft from
a big story that came out today. That's next, Jason
and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
