Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hello, Welcome inside the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. We're live from the Tyrack dot com
studios Tirec dot com. I'll help you get there an
unmatched election, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection at
over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirac dot com is the
way tire buying should be. Well, we got a lot
(00:52):
of fantastic stuff tonight. Look, we got so much football news.
You got a big basketball story we're gonna get into.
But of course on the air, on our show here
in Los Angeles, We're going to do the show and
we're gonna give you the best type of bleep in
entertainment weekend, especially on nights like tonight. All our thoughts
are with everyone fighting and affected by the Palisades fire.
(01:13):
Over twenty nine hundred acres are burning. You see the
video on social media, and the entire hillside is on fire.
The Getty Villa is on fire. I've been to that
museum so many times over the course of the last
few years. I'm watching Steve Gutenberg stay behind and help
get cars and people to safeties, doing interviews and staying back.
(01:34):
It's just to see the human element really step up
in times like this. Prayers up for them and for
all the firefighters. I believe Los Angeles called in in
anybody who can get their firefighter wise to help them
with this blaze. It is a really, really big deal.
There is a lot of devastation and all our thoughts,
all our attention with everybody tonight who is fighting and
(01:56):
affected by this fire.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Just an insane explosion to and how quickly it spread.
The Gutenberg interview, he was basically doing a PSA saying,
if you're going to leave your car on the roads
up here, leave the keys at it so we can
move them so that they can get out of the way.
Because they had to literally bring in bulldozers to knock
cars off of the street because it was impeding any
(02:17):
progress of fire trucks and emergency vehicles like it just
it escalated so quickly watching the local news coverage, gas masks.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
On all all of it. And you know, I opened
my window.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I figured I'd take the extra time it would to
get to the studio because the last time we had
this kind of stuff, I had power issues and wanted
to make sure it was, you know, fully available and
coming in. Like you can smell it, you can see
the flakes of ash up in the air. Just a
very scary experience.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Here for folks.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And this is for some the third time they're evacuating
in six seven weeks. We saw our guy Jay Glazer
posting about that that they've gotten the evacuate evacuation orders again.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Uh it's a Frostburg, I said, Oh my god, guys.
The lights are out outside. The lights are out at
the liquor store, and and the and the I believe
at the gas station, all around the station. Uh. It
is just really, really weird, and it is and is
a time for everybody to come together and to and
to hope that everybody and all the first responders are
out there and the firemen are getting it done and
(03:24):
everybody is getting evacuated to safety, and as I said,
we'll continue to monitor this and hope for good news
as the night post goes on. Obviously, with fires like this,
a lot depends on the winds and how they blow,
and so far it hasn't gone the way you expect
it to. Sometimes we just we avoid big wildlife disasters
because the winds are right and and it blows everything
(03:44):
out to sea, and okay, we can contain it. Uh
need a little bit of that to now tonight for
that for everybody. So again, all our thoughts are with them. However,
our show is about sports, right You tune into us
to get a break from stuff like that, and and
you know, our job is to entertain you and and
to do the best we can, and we're gonna try
to do that over the course of the next few hours.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
And I mean, look, we're gonna say things.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Like that, you're interviewing Pete Carroll on Thursday, my garment.
You're interviewing Pete Carroll to be and go to the bears.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Can I just say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, keep
going sounded like my man off to the side in
purple rain.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, Dallas said, note to Mike McCarthy,
We're going to Pete Carroll everybody, but let those air
monarchs in here.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
We're ready to go.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well, legit, what did we say?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I mean, going back to the beginning of the show, yesdays,
we talked about the Bears, you have no plan. You
are scattershot, hoping someone's gonna show up and just blow
you away. Right, that was the rumor of what happened
all those years ago, all those I feel like, I'm
Daniel day Lewis and I'm like, oh, the way over
here with the straw, what happened with Mike Tomlin right
(04:59):
when he out the interview, he just blew everybody away.
So we're gonna do the open casting call and eventually
someone's gonna come in here and they're gonna have the
plan that is the perfect overlay with what we mapped
out behind the scenes, and it's gonna be like one
of these things in a movie where it was like.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
A Eureka, we figured it out. He's a golden child
that cammed to town. Are you kidding me? So I'm
glad that everybody picked up on that. Today.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
My Chicago roots feeding the fuel across television and radio,
across the day. But yeah, the list keeps getting longer.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It's like that damn Cleveland Brown's jersey and the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And this forty quarterbacks. It's ninety nine forty interviews by
Thursday night. Look dude, and look a party big today.
I mean, look, we had another coach get fired, which
we'll get to coming up in a couple of minutes.
But it was just yesterday the Bears wanted to talk
to Mike McCarthy in addition to the other fifteen or
sixteen chiple they want to talk.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That was a three slide kind of job.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, McCarthy on the list.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Let me cross them off.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
They said, no, cowboys, say no to the Bears interviewing
Mike McCarthy. And you know what we said this last night,
Mike McCarthy is a good coach. Mike McCarthy. If they
if they want interview to just go. Jerry Jones, let
you out of that contract if you don't want to
be there. And you know what, Jerry Jones only wants
you now just because oh other people want you. So now,
(06:19):
Jerry Jones, let you go through the whole year, put
pressure on you, everything that went along with being the
coach of the Cowboys. Dad got hurt. Oh, we're gonna
see how things go. We're gonna see how things go
before I want to commit to Mike McCarthy. Oh, by
the way, up until this year, twelve games a year
the last three years, twelve wins a year the last
three years. Okay, Oh, but now that it doesn't look
like there's a lot of great candidates out there, and
(06:40):
there's not right Ben Johnson, who might say with Detroit
because the who.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
May not even be the best.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He's a great head coaching prospect in theory.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And you have Mike, and you have Mike Rabel and
maybe you're not getting either of those guys. But now
suddenly that oh, hey, we'd like to talk to Mike McCarthy.
Oh now I know. Now we got to say, no,
now I go. He only is doing this because, oh
now I got to wait and see which way the
wind blows.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
He doesn't believe in Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
He does not. If he did, he would have said,
it doesn't matter. Mike's a great head coach. Let's move on.
We're going forward with Mike McCarthy. But no, no, instead,
let's wait and see how things go. His contract lapses
in a week. He doesn't want you. If I'm McCarthy,
I say, screw that. No, if you're gonna hire me, right,
you're gonna hire the bears of me. If I come
in and talk, you're gonna hire me. Yeah, you know
what I'm going and see you, Jerry. You had your chance,
(07:29):
but now you only like me because other people do.
It's like in high school when you have that one
friend that you're hanging out with and you're like, yeah,
I don't know, h are they cool enough? I don't
I don't want to tell people were hanging out of it.
But then it's like, oh, oh oh, other people see
that person is cool. Oh now hey now we're best friends.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah no, no, I'm okay with that. In that relationship,
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You always had to have a friend in the group
that was called better Deal.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Something else came up that was the nickname better Deal Black.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
No, no, no, but everybody said, oh, everybody sees how
cool this person is or someone you're day and it's like, yeah,
I don't know, I don't know. But then other people like,
oh my god, are you kidding. She's so hot, she's
great she's so smart, she's fun. Oh no, no, I
really like her now, No, I like her because you
like her, like that's what Jerry Jones is doing. But
like McCarthy because other people like him. So now I
want to keep him. If I'm mcarthy, I say, screw you.
(08:17):
I'm leaving. You had your chance for some reason, I'm
not good enough. That's okay, good luck trying to find somebody.
Good luck with Matt Naggy as your head coach next year.
Good luck, good luck, that'll be great. Go go and see it, Jerry,
let me out, let me go. I'm going. My contract
this laps and goodbye.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
That's the positive column thus far for the Bears is
they have not asked for permission to speak to Matt
Naggy yet. But with the McCarthy thing, it's just consistent
with what Jerry's been doing with all of his stars, right,
I really want him here. Well, then get him signed. Nah,
you know we'll get to it. I really want him signed.
I wait for it, Wait another year, wait another two
(08:53):
dak CD and now Mike McCarthy's just the latest in
the long line of Oh wait, now we actually have
to pay the piper and realizing, yes, in the marketplace,
who the hell do you really love that's in the
in this space? Right, unless there's some college coach that
you've identified that you love. We've heard some of the
Sarkesian rumors starting to creep back out there. But otherwise,
(09:17):
you know, we're going into coordinators who may have had
a little spotlight in the sun.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
We saw Slowic a year ago.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Are you going off of what he did this year
and saying, yes, this was this was a genius work
that we want to grab that momentum and keep going.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
No, No, you didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yes, they're a playoff team, but because the division was
so colossally bad, I can go on down the line.
Cliff Kingsbury, you trust in him as a head coach Again,
I could keep doing this all day.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Somebody soon for some and he's one of those guy.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's too it's you're the defensive guys that to say,
all right, well we've got a quarterback that we want,
but it's too soon for a lot of guys.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
For me, man, it's just too soon for a lot
of guys.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
This is a year where we have no really great
openings and not any great coaches to film.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's like the Iron Cheek used to say, sometimes you
have to be humbled.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
These guys have been humbled long enough.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, this is a terrible look.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
That's something we're gonna do a little bit less than
an hour from now. But it's it's an absolutely terrible
year because all the openings are bad, you know. I
mean you have to really to try to find one
out of all of these openings, and and there's not
a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Of exciting candidates.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's all a lot of retreads and hoping the guys
will get it right a second time. And and you
know when when when the Bears and the Jets are
on their fifteenth request for an interview, it's like, come on, man, like, really,
anybody out there that's any good?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Like it's it's in the NFL draft.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Some years are great for quarterbacks, right and and five
get taken in the first round, and boy, it's awesome.
But other years it's not a great first round for quarterbacks.
But guess what, quarterbacks still get taken because well you
kind of have to it hope that a quarterback doesn't
that's what this year, but you put it in this year,
it's bad for quarterbacks in the draft. It's bad for
coaches and teams.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
This is just one of those years, man.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But the coaches are quarterbacks in the draft.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
How many reports did you see.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Today about talking about Drew Holler. It's like if he
has a great run in the final fource, like you
haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Enough of that. Guy's been quarterback in forever to put
it in perspective, He's got three plus years of trading
cards set him out there.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
This whole new world of nil and everything hasn't been
around that all. He's a poster job for the way
this thing changed.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm telling you, man, I would love Mike McCarthy to
just say, screw you, I'm leaving. You had your chance,
but you want you wanted to Jerry Jones your way
through things and go well, I'm not gonna make a
decision until I absolutely have to.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
But with people calling maybe that means he's good.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Maybe we should keep the guy like I mean that,
that's that's how fantasy people decide to not make a trade. Well,
everybody is calling me about about Breese Hall. Maybe that
means I should hold onto him. Ah No, I'm not
gonna trade him. Too many people are asking me about
him in the trade. I'm gonna hold onto him now,
like I don't.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't get the whole approach by the cowboys where
I get that they live and in KOs and they've
been and they've lived in that controlled chaos for years.
But this is a case where come on, you let
the guy go for for you know, in a week
his contract, I mean, his contract lapses in a week.
It's where we're deciding on what to do. I mean, clearly,
(12:14):
it is only because there's nobody else out there. I like,
like Jerry Joe is sitting in his office waiting and go, Well,
if I get a phone call from somebody saying, hey,
I'd like to come go, Like if the Belichick guy says, hey,
I've had it North Carolina, I'm gonna go Like, really,
is he waiting for a for a phone call from
someone to just pop out of the weeds and go, oh, yeah,
you're my guy? Oh sorry, we're not gonna go with
with with Mike McCarthy like this is and it embarrasses
(12:36):
me that McCarthy says, oh.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I really want to stay with the cowboy Richard.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
He did come on, but.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Jerry did this before he did this with Jason Garrett.
Remember we had it years ago and I had the
Twitter feed where it had the picture of McGinley.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
It's like, you know, what would you say?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You do hear and everything but talking about fixing the glitch,
and it was, Hey, in seven days, the glitch is
fixed with Garrett. Guess what he's I I really want
Mike McCarthy to grow a backbone and say, screw you,
I'm leaving.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Good luck, good luck with somebody else, new system, DAK
everything else.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Luck. Let's go to any other any other place, right,
he could go anywhere, it would be then it would
be okay, Ben Johnson, Mike McCarthy and Mike Vrabel like that,
it would be he would be because people understand that
McCarthy's a good coach, and they understand that, boy, you
have to kind of grate him on a curve because
he's coaching in Dallas, right like that. If this was
Green Bay, or if this was you know, Seattle, and
(13:32):
it was, hey, okay, you won twelve games, Okay, but
you haven't really gone. I can see where there might
be a little bit of Ah's McCarthy really gonna get
you from B to C? Right? Definitely, A to B
we've seen, but is he B two C. But coaching
like this in Dallas, And again what I said last night,
it's not his fault that Dak Prescott sucks in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
It is not his fault.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
The fact that with all of this going on in
Jerry Jones of trying to figure out the roster and
paying guys he shouldn't pay. The fact that you could
still go twelve twelve, twelve wins, and and and and
into the playoffs and be a threat and only be
beholden to the fact your quarterback stinks when it really
when the when when the chips are down, Like I
think teams understand, Okay, he's he's really got a great
handle of this, and boy, he would absolutely flourish with
(14:14):
our team.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He would be.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It would be, it would be the next three guys
because right now it's Johnson and Vrabel and everybody else.
And now it's Johnson, Vrabel and McCarthy, and maybe McCarthy
jumps ahead of Rabel, maybe he jumps out, maybe Ben
Jonson's I don't want to he would be maybe becomes
the number one guy because at least he has a
better track record. More recently than Rabel does.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, it's all chaos.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
In the interim, Pete Carroll, Baby, let's go good luck?
Speaker 4 (14:37):

And before we get into Black Tuesday in the NFL,
which kirchen into Black Wednesday, Black Thursday all the way
through a big game in the NBA tonight, the Mavericks
(16:43):
absolutely boat race the Lakers. They suck one to eighteen
ninety seven. This is why whenever I talk about the
Lakers and how the level of excitement I have it's
always with words like tepid and caution and careful because
they got boat raced by the G League Mavericks team.
(17:06):
They did no Luca, no Kyrie, no Roy Tarpley, no
Dirt Novitski.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Kimmy Jackson, Jason Kidder, no, I mean em Ashmeier Weather
who wasn't I.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Mean Quentin Grimes, nixt yo, hey me off the bench
and scores twenty three and the Lakers don't just lose,
they lose by twenty I mean Lebron with a triple double.
And it's like, this is this is inexcusable for a
team that has any sort of real hopes and dreams.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
For this year.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's like, okay, you go into Dallas and lose and
it's Luca, and it's got okay, even though they're not
having a great regular season. You want to lose to
Luca and Kyrie, all right, I get it, But they're out, man,
and you go in and you just don't even show
up like that.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
That's why when I look at the Lakers, I go.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, every time they win a couple of games in
a row and people start getting chesty and all Lebron
and a d is the fountain of youth and the
fair Yeah no, no, tepid, calm, reserved, restrained. Those are all
the best adjunctants for the Lakers because this is what
they turn into. They'll have a couple of games where
they'll play well, then they'll have stuff like this and
you go, what the hell and why is Lebron dancing
(18:13):
at the end of this game? You know, hey, they
just just lost by twenty.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Man, I'll tell you this, Dallas, come on, Hey, that
was more foot movement than he did on that one
defensive rotation.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
That's making the rounds.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Everybody cut, everybody cut, dude.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I mean, how about you rotate out to the three
point shooter.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Nope, man, And then he jumped up and down like
a five year old who didn't get to have dessert
after the shot went in.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
It's like, you didn't rotate.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
This is why, you know, a near triple double for him,
but still, you know they're not even close.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
He don't make a run in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's a game that is close at halftime, and the
second half the Mavericks outscoring by sixteen. Like Spencer Dinwiddie
and PJ. Washington and Klay Thompson, you know, Jayden Hardy.
These are these are guys who are who are who
are on the court sink big shots coming back down, like,
hey man, we're beating the Lakers. This is we're growing
(19:04):
up in front of everybody's eye.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Washington was a big deal for them during the playoffs
a year ago, so they're hoping he can continue to grow.
But yeah, you're old guy, Quenton Grimes, Hey, Grimey.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Cull yo cube.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I live above a bowling alley and underneath.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Another bowling I mean, he.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Almost came off the bench for a triple double. He's
twenty three to nine and eight, nine and six boom.
But again, tepid, that's the that should be the word
for the Lakers. Tepid, tepid reservation, tepidly optimistic.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I said, I can't say optimistic.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I know it is.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's like it's you know, it's it's when you get
into the shower in your house, like after everybody else's
like when you have people over and they're staying over
and everybody's taking a shower for you go out for
the day, and like you're the last one to shower.
Get to your house, You're like, okay, I'm I'll be
in it out in five minutes. You're like, oh, this
is this everybody's used up the hot water. This is
so lukewarm. Now that's the Lakers. The Lakers on that
last lukewarm shower of the morning, when you know Aunt
(20:01):
Petunia and Uncle Bert and they're six kids have all
showered and they're downstairs, you know, digging, digging holes in
your floor while you're like, I just want to jump
in and shower for five seconds. That that's the Lakers.
They're the tipidity of that watertime.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I have all sorts of questions about the analogy and
that you just used and some relatives that may or
may not be real.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
No, I don't have an uncle Bert.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well, Aunt Petunia.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I guess Harry Potter's on my mind because I thought
of Ampatuna.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
But did you have did they have the six kids? Though?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh no, no, well, well we've we've had members of
Pam's family out here where it's like six kids at
the time, so.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I was kind of thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But don't tell me about did they do any snake
round up? Like they're Randy Quaid and no in vacation.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
No, no, they all just want to talk about the Lions.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's okay, that's all it is. That's fine.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
There's no snake round up, there's no nah.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You did twenty hours of radio each week. You don't
need to talk about the Lions anymore. By the way,
a little development here, your guy porzingis going to the bench,
uh hobbled his ankle, get his footstep don it looked
like and goes off awkwardly. Ten point Boston lead two
minutes left in the first at Denver.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
But here is your guy or Zingis.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Steve de Sego lo more in this game coming up?
And what's trending in a few minutes. But now it's
time for black Tuesday. We had black Monday, we had
black Sunday. Girodmeo gets fired. We like Monday, Doug Peterson
got fired. No, and I want to say thanks to
the to the NFL for spacing all these firings out.
Give it to give us contestion there out the week,
right because it is it is a few days until
(21:34):
we get to the college football semifinals on Thursday and Friday,
so we kind of need not just Monday, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
So I'm sure there's a there's a schedule that's set,
and we'll get the surprise firing on Wednesday. Right.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
This is where this is normally.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Where the Raiders do it, where you think, okay, everything
is oh no, no, no, no, no, Now we're gonna
fire our guy. So I'm sure we'll get the one
last firing tomorrow to make it seven openings and then
nothing on Thursday and Friday, because that's when we have
the college football semifinals something to take us through. I
like the NFL's schedule all of this, Like I could
just see Goodell going through it. And Okay, so Monday
is right, okay, so Sunday Craft, you're taking Sunday right, Okay,
(22:08):
the Sunday slot is gone, all right, Jaguars, what do
you want? We'll take Monday at ten, Monday at ten, Jaguars. Okay,
what do we got here to our Raiders?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh? You know, we'll take Tuesday at like nude, Okay, great,
Raiders have Tuesday in day?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Who else did who else?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Deed?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
What else we got? So they're doing that for us,
and I kind of dig that they're doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, it's good and we'll see if any more surprises
come up. I mean there's still plenty of decisions to
be out there. I mean plenty of top notch cannonates.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I mean Mike.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
McCarthy, maybe your team will get the okay to talk
to him. Could be trade, you never know, right, I mean, look,
the Bears even brought that up in their inane.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Wow it was really just one bad quote after the next.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
My brothers and I I think we texted more today
than we have in years combined, Like did you see
this nonsense?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
How about this? Bears? Hey, anything could happen.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I mean, there could be a trade on the We'll
give up draft picks, Like what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
What do you like? Why? Why?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Why?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Why is that guy still got a quote unquote job. Sorry, Polls,
you're out. Uh you're gonna be the fall guy. But
all of that to say, yeah, there's nothing to say
that we won't have another change coach GM full on
structural change. There's still plenty of chasts to come.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But today we wave goodbye to Antonio Pierce, who was
relieved of his duties as head coach of the Raiders.
And at first I want to say this because the
the the overwhelming image I have of Antonio Piers. It's
kind of weird when I think a back to the
you know, the the one plus year that Antonio Piers
had as the as the interim coach and then okay,
let's bring him back and then they didn't win any
(23:45):
games and you go over the division like it's gonna happen.
Is that I just think of him. I think of
his press conference yesterday where he's wearing that really sweet
starter pull over that good. I really want one, like
I want a Mets one like that, and I want
to Jets one like.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
That, but they're like five dollars on eBay. It's like,
come on, guys.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But like he's wearing that sweet Raiders starter pullover that
has the half zip in the pocket and he's saying,
hey man, when you're good, everybody says apap.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
When you stink, everybody watch you fire.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I just think, going, man, he just looks like he
just looks like the epitome of cool. Right there. I'm
wearing a sweet ass pull over and I know I'm
probably gonna get fired. So I dig that Antonio Pierce
went out with that kind of dignity.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
So did that go out with a smile. I like,
look he got he got a shot. Yeah right he did.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
After the interim tag placed in twenty twenty three, everybody
rallied based on good feelings and just the whole aura
around the team had taken at least a positive turn,
long standing and sustainable. Oh certainly not, especially when you
picked terribly at the quarterback position in terms of how
(24:48):
you were going to move forward. Whether it was a
long term plan of hey, we're going to struggle in
twenty four and eventually get it right to Lesco's gonna
get another run. It looks like there again, unless Mark
d us and Tom Brady changed their mind tomorrow. Because again,
all of this is fluid. All of it's fluid. I mean,
Rex Ryan interviewed with the Jets. You have no idea
what's coming down the next timeline, guys, I texted you
(25:12):
the perfect fit. Brandon Staley is the perfect guy for
that job.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You actually you actually texted with Brandon Staley already in
rad you had it photoshopped in raiders gear.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I'm I'm all for it. We need to we need
to start this, we need to get this going. And
so what you're saying is liked him and thought it
was just a matter. I think he's a really really
good coach, and he likes Vegas. Make it happen, all right,
and he los Vegas.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But I will tell you this right and and I'm
and I'm serious about this because I know that we
say his name and it comes up and and it
doesn't feel like he's leaving. But Dion Sanders is never
going to have a better chance to coach his kid
than if he left for the Raiders. Now, all right, No,
I know leaving Kylee would be a it would be
(26:01):
a difficult leave for him because he says I'm staying.
I'm staying. I'm saying. But wouldn't be the first coach
to say I'm staying and I'm leaving for the NFL.
But if he wants to go and coach Shador Sanders,
like this is it like if you want to go
coach your kid, usually everybody's dreamed of that end when
they're fourteen, fifteen years old, right Like I coach my
kid for a long time. I knew it was time
to it was okay, time be done. You go with
(26:22):
other coaches now. But he's got a chance because if
the Raiders hired him. Right, He's such a strong personality
and such a strong influencer that nobody that's drafting one
through five would even think about taking Shaduur Sanders and
he would fall into the Raiders lap at six. Yes,
you have the Hey, I don't really know how good
(26:44):
he is, and some pundits don't have a first round
grade on Shador Sanders, but he's still gonna go at
the top. He's still one of the two most talented quarterbacks,
and quarterbacks go high. But there is nobody who would
get in the way of the Rangers. If the Raiders
hired Dion Sanders, they would say, you know what, not
getting invite this, not getting involved in whatever could happen.
I am gonna LeVar Ball stay my way out of
(27:05):
what's happening here.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why do you think with Lonzo and the Lakers, nobody
else is gonna take him. I don't want that to
want his dad, you know, be in a shadow over
the team. I don't want to coach Shador Sanders and
have his dad chiming in on stuff and have him
say who knows what he what? He would wind up
saying how coachable would he be? If his dad's coaching
another team, Nobody, nobody is gonna jump in that way,
and he would have a clear path to take him
(27:27):
at number six. So you want to coach your kid
if he really wants. You can't tell me he doesn't
want to. I know he wants to stay and everything
is wonderful, but his kids are gone now right. And
when I say his kids, I mean Chador is gone
and Travis Hunter is gone. Uh, you are having two
guys your team get drafted the top five or six picks.
That's not gonna happen again. If you're gonna go, if
(27:47):
you're gonna coach your kid, this is the time to
do it. Nobody will stand in your way of drafting
shaduor Sanders. The Giants aren't gonna take him at number
two and say yeah, we're gonna make it work here.
That not gonna They're not gonna have to sit here
and say I gotta worry about in every press conference
what somebody's gonna tell me. But Deon Sanders is gonna say, oh,
I watched film with that Giants game.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Man, I don't know, I don't I don't know when.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They keep when they get calling those plays the X
on the side when I I mean, you're gonna risk
that happening. You have no idea. Deon Sanders a complete wildcard.
Raiders hire him, He'll coach your door Sanders And at
least now you have an identity. And how much fun
would Dion and Chadur in Vegas be? Like it? Forget
about everything else about the Cowboys and the Steelers and
all these all the popular team, it would all be.
(28:28):
It would all be glitz and glamour and Dion and
Vegas and Chador like that makes sense so many ways around.
That is probably not gonna happen, but it makes so
much sense. Mike Carmen, Well, we could also turn back time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I mean back when they were doing videos in Atlanta
with mc hammer and stuff. So like we get to
bring that to Vegas. You're gonna have his full entourage
with him in the whole nine yards. How about that?
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
I like it. Everything is back in the nineties old again.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Hey, le Quit and McCarthy uh and Pete Carrol and
all these guys are gonna get jobs.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
No, the curiosity still is. Remember Shaduer with his giant shoes.
As to whether there's still potential for Dable and Shane
to be blown out should Dion, you know, just waving
their general direction the merrit family.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
But yeah, the the.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Chaduur draft grads are interesting, right, Why look at any
mock drafts because of necessity and because of what the
quarterback always does. I should say that the latter part
is the bigger one. We always know quarterbacks are going early.
He gets drafted, but you have all these reports that
you know he's low end one or high two or
whatever the case is, or some saying I wouldn't draft
(29:46):
him at all.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
That.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, maybe it does sync up perfectly to.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Go to Brady and what the Raiders are cooking for
twenty twenty five, nothing else. It'll make them relevant beyond
the Raider image store over at Universal City.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Well, look, what are you get it?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You're getting a head coach in a in a in
a head coaching cycle where there's not a lot of
exciting candidates.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
And clearly Mike Frankwell and Ben Johnson aren't going to
the ring.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
You're getting your quarterback when you need a quarterback, right,
Aid and O'Connell has shown I'm just a guy. Gardner
mentioned has been a career backup. You solve your two
biggest issues. Now, yes there's a chance and a risk,
but there's always a chance and a risk. But you
solve those top two issues with hey, head coach, quarterback
check check. Wow, we did that. We did that really
really fast, and it was really easy to do it.
(30:29):
I know that we want to sync Dene up with
all these openings, but you want to coach Shador. This
this is the way it happens. Man. If not, you're
then you're waiting. You're waiting for wherever Shador Sanders winds up,
for that team to not do well. And then I mean, really,
but this is it. You could do one fell swoop man.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
You could be in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
You would be the biggest rockstar head coach in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
If not, what if Brady steals Vrabel from Kraft.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Yeah, but I don't know that Vrabel is now Rabel.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Hey, I'm excited if my team gets Rabel. But over all, like,
oh my goodness, Mike Rabel like no, like Rabel doesn't
move move the needle at all, like my team. I'm excited. Hey,
all right, I'm excited, but but Deon Sanders moves a
needle way more. He's the only coach you pay attention
to in college football until the playoffs start. He's the
only guy. What's he saying all year long? Come on, man,
(31:17):
that's how it goes. He's a guy exit out about
a Fresca exit swollen dome. The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Carmon Live from the ti raq dot Com studios.

A sportsman man who said he would go for free
to be Dion Sanders offensive coordinator in Vegas. It's Steve

let's maybe we could have co offensive codinative. Yeah, well,
you're not kidding this. This reminds me of my favorite
stat of the day. After the Raiders fired head coach
Antonio Pierce, ap points out the list of most wins

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Secret Aaron Rodgers Baul memories.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
And you only have four targets in the entire city,
none of them have a Starbucks inside.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Who am I?
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Who is Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
It's not Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Well, until the dearth of you know, locations to go
and spend money, I was gonna say it was Miami
and Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Obviously with the Starbucks reference, it's Pete Carroll in advance
of his Chicago.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
I never liked it here. I'll be gone soon enough.
This was terrible.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I have nothing to add to my secret room of
football memories. And you only have four targets in the
entire city, and.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
None of them have a Starbucks inside, Oh, it's Captain Kirk.
Speaker 1 (37:40):

very good.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
My secret football room has five coal Bucks.

A guys, Look, I don't know what to do. I
don't know what to say. And I mean not in
this conversation. I mean I don't know what to do.
On the field.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Everyone says every decision I make is wrong.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I mean it's not too far from the truth, but
it's not all the time, just most of the time.
And no one talks about the good games I have
every four or five weeks. But I'm sure with seven
or eight new voices in my head next season, I'll
be able to streamline things and just.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Play Footballer Rogers.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
It could be the top pick that I was.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Who am I?
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Jeff Fisher, not Genas.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's not John If there was a seven and nine reference,

Mike Tomlin. It's not Mike Tomlin, is it Mike Ditka

Speaker 1 (39:21):
No close, you said, Bess, Yes, Alex, I am Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
You never believe me, Jason. As soon as you asked

Jerry Jones' son? That I should have just said that.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
All right, good, You're good.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
You're good as in the form of a Jeopardy like.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Question worked, Oh very good. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Look, guys, when I got here, things were bad, but
then everything changed and it actually got worse. I didn't
think it could be worse than where I was before,
but then you fired the guy who traded for me.
You know what, this whole thing is stupid. I'm gonna
go get a chiloopap. Who am I nod? Yes, I
am DeVante Adams.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
He's got the taco bell in his house.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Very nice that Frostburgs just keep going to say Aaron
Rodgers every.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Single teams, but no Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Fine, Jason, it's gonna hit at some point, It's true.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Just got to wait it out while people are lurking
behind you.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
All right, last one, Hey man, I'm entertaining. Wide receivers
love me. Defensive backs love me. No one keeps both
teams in the game like I do. And now I
can't beat out or I get bench for the two
worst quarterbacks in the NFL who were both on this team?
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Who am I?
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Fitzpatrick, No, he hasn't played in six years.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Wide receivers love me. Defensive backs love me. No one
keeps both teams of the game like I do. Ge, No, no, no.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
The answer is actually any Raiders quo famous.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
The answer is Jameis Winston. Big coaching story in the
NFL coming up next.

are with everyone fighting and affected by the Palisades fire.
(01:13):
Over twenty nine hundred acres are burning. You see the
video on social media, and the entire hillside is on fire.
The Getty Villa is on fire. I've been to that
museum so many times over the course of the last
few years. I'm watching Steve Gutenberg stay behind and help
get cars and people to safeties, doing interviews and staying back.
(01:34):
It's just to see the human element really step up
in times like this. Prayers up for them and for
all the firefighters. I believe Los Angeles called in in
anybody who can get their firefighter wise to help them
with this blaze. It is a really, really big deal.

all our attention with everybody tonight who is fighting and
(01:56):

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Just an insane explosion to and how quickly it spread.
The Gutenberg interview, he was basically doing a PSA saying,
if you're going to leave your car on the roads
up here, leave the keys at it so we can
move them so that they can get out of the way.
Because they had to literally bring in bulldozers to knock
cars off of the street because it was impeding any
(02:17):
progress of fire trucks and emergency vehicles like it just
it escalated so quickly watching the local news coverage, gas masks.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
On all all of it. And you know, I opened
my window.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I figured I'd take the extra time it would to
get to the studio because the last time we had
this kind of stuff, I had power issues and wanted
to make sure it was, you know, fully available and
coming in. Like you can smell it, you can see
the flakes of ash up in the air. Just a
very scary experience.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Here for folks.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And this is for some the third time they're evacuating
in six seven weeks. We saw our guy Jay Glazer
posting about that that they've gotten the evacuate evacuation orders again.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Uh it's a Frostburg, I said, Oh my god, guys.
The lights are out outside. The lights are out at
the liquor store, and and the and the I believe
at the gas station, all around the station. Uh. It
is just really, really weird, and it is and is
a time for everybody to come together and to and
to hope that everybody and all the first responders are
out there and the firemen are getting it done and
(03:24):
everybody is getting evacuated to safety, and as I said,
we'll continue to monitor this and hope for good news
as the night post goes on. Obviously, with fires like this,
a lot depends on the winds and how they blow,
and so far it hasn't gone the way you expect
it to. Sometimes we just we avoid big wildlife disasters
because the winds are right and and it blows everything
(03:44):
out to sea, and okay, we can contain it. Uh
need a little bit of that to now tonight for
that for everybody. So again, all our thoughts are with them. However,
our show is about sports, right You tune into us
to get a break from stuff like that, and and
you know, our job is to entertain you and and
to do the best we can, and we're gonna try
to do that over the course of the next few hours.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
And I mean, look, we're gonna say things.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Like that, you're interviewing Pete Carroll on Thursday, my garment.
You're interviewing Pete Carroll to be and go to the bears.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Can I just say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, keep
going sounded like my man off to the side in
purple rain.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, Dallas said, note to Mike McCarthy,
We're going to Pete Carroll everybody, but let those air
monarchs in here.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
We're ready to go.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well, legit, what did we say?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I mean, going back to the beginning of the show, yesdays,
we talked about the Bears, you have no plan. You
are scattershot, hoping someone's gonna show up and just blow
you away. Right, that was the rumor of what happened
all those years ago, all those I feel like, I'm
Daniel day Lewis and I'm like, oh, the way over
here with the straw, what happened with Mike Tomlin right
(04:59):
when he out the interview, he just blew everybody away.
So we're gonna do the open casting call and eventually
someone's gonna come in here and they're gonna have the
plan that is the perfect overlay with what we mapped
out behind the scenes, and it's gonna be like one
of these things in a movie where it was like.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
A Eureka, we figured it out. He's a golden child
that cammed to town. Are you kidding me? So I'm
glad that everybody picked up on that. Today.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
My Chicago roots feeding the fuel across television and radio,
across the day. But yeah, the list keeps getting longer.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It's like that damn Cleveland Brown's jersey and the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And this forty quarterbacks. It's ninety nine forty interviews by
Thursday night. Look dude, and look a party big today.
I mean, look, we had another coach get fired, which
we'll get to coming up in a couple of minutes.
But it was just yesterday the Bears wanted to talk
to Mike McCarthy in addition to the other fifteen or
sixteen chiple they want to talk.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That was a three slide kind of job.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, McCarthy on the list.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Let me cross them off.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
They said, no, cowboys, say no to the Bears interviewing
Mike McCarthy. And you know what we said this last night,
Mike McCarthy is a good coach. Mike McCarthy. If they
if they want interview to just go. Jerry Jones, let
you out of that contract if you don't want to
be there. And you know what, Jerry Jones only wants
you now just because oh other people want you. So now,
(06:19):
Jerry Jones, let you go through the whole year, put
pressure on you, everything that went along with being the
coach of the Cowboys. Dad got hurt. Oh, we're gonna
see how things go. We're gonna see how things go
before I want to commit to Mike McCarthy. Oh, by
the way, up until this year, twelve games a year
the last three years, twelve wins a year the last
three years. Okay, Oh, but now that it doesn't look
like there's a lot of great candidates out there, and
(06:40):
there's not right Ben Johnson, who might say with Detroit
because the who.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
May not even be the best.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He's a great head coaching prospect in theory.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And you have Mike, and you have Mike Rabel and
maybe you're not getting either of those guys. But now
suddenly that oh, hey, we'd like to talk to Mike McCarthy.
Oh now I know. Now we got to say, no,
now I go. He only is doing this because, oh
now I got to wait and see which way the
wind blows.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
He doesn't believe in Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
He does not. If he did, he would have said,
it doesn't matter. Mike's a great head coach. Let's move on.
We're going forward with Mike McCarthy. But no, no, instead,
let's wait and see how things go. His contract lapses
in a week. He doesn't want you. If I'm McCarthy,
I say, screw that. No, if you're gonna hire me, right,
you're gonna hire the bears of me. If I come
in and talk, you're gonna hire me. Yeah, you know
what I'm going and see you, Jerry. You had your chance,
(07:29):
but now you only like me because other people do.
It's like in high school when you have that one
friend that you're hanging out with and you're like, yeah,
I don't know, h are they cool enough? I don't
I don't want to tell people were hanging out of it.
But then it's like, oh, oh oh, other people see
that person is cool. Oh now hey now we're best friends.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah no, no, I'm okay with that. In that relationship,
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You always had to have a friend in the group
that was called better Deal.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Something else came up that was the nickname better Deal Black.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
No, no, no, but everybody said, oh, everybody sees how
cool this person is or someone you're day and it's like, yeah,
I don't know, I don't know. But then other people like,
oh my god, are you kidding. She's so hot, she's
great she's so smart, she's fun. Oh no, no, I
really like her now, No, I like her because you
like her, like that's what Jerry Jones is doing. But
like McCarthy because other people like him. So now I
want to keep him. If I'm mcarthy, I say, screw you.
(08:17):
I'm leaving. You had your chance for some reason, I'm
not good enough. That's okay, good luck trying to find somebody.
Good luck with Matt Naggy as your head coach next year.
Good luck, good luck, that'll be great. Go go and see it, Jerry,
let me out, let me go. I'm going. My contract
this laps and goodbye.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
That's the positive column thus far for the Bears is
they have not asked for permission to speak to Matt
Naggy yet. But with the McCarthy thing, it's just consistent
with what Jerry's been doing with all of his stars, right,
I really want him here. Well, then get him signed. Nah,
you know we'll get to it. I really want him signed.
I wait for it, Wait another year, wait another two
(08:53):
dak CD and now Mike McCarthy's just the latest in
the long line of Oh wait, now we actually have
to pay the piper and realizing, yes, in the marketplace,
who the hell do you really love that's in the
in this space? Right, unless there's some college coach that
you've identified that you love. We've heard some of the
Sarkesian rumors starting to creep back out there. But otherwise,
(09:17):
you know, we're going into coordinators who may have had
a little spotlight in the sun.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
We saw Slowic a year ago.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Are you going off of what he did this year
and saying, yes, this was this was a genius work
that we want to grab that momentum and keep going.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
No, No, you didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yes, they're a playoff team, but because the division was
so colossally bad, I can go on down the line.
Cliff Kingsbury, you trust in him as a head coach Again,
I could keep doing this all day.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Somebody soon for some and he's one of those guy.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's too it's you're the defensive guys that to say,
all right, well we've got a quarterback that we want,
but it's too soon for a lot of guys.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
For me, man, it's just too soon for a lot
of guys.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
This is a year where we have no really great
openings and not any great coaches to film.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's like the Iron Cheek used to say, sometimes you
have to be humbled.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
These guys have been humbled long enough.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, this is a terrible look.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
That's something we're gonna do a little bit less than
an hour from now. But it's it's an absolutely terrible
year because all the openings are bad, you know. I
mean you have to really to try to find one
out of all of these openings, and and there's not
a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Of exciting candidates.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's all a lot of retreads and hoping the guys
will get it right a second time. And and you
know when when when the Bears and the Jets are
on their fifteenth request for an interview, it's like, come on, man, like, really,
anybody out there that's any good?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Like it's it's in the NFL draft.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Some years are great for quarterbacks, right and and five
get taken in the first round, and boy, it's awesome.
But other years it's not a great first round for quarterbacks.
But guess what, quarterbacks still get taken because well you
kind of have to it hope that a quarterback doesn't
that's what this year, but you put it in this year,
it's bad for quarterbacks in the draft. It's bad for
coaches and teams.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
This is just one of those years, man.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But the coaches are quarterbacks in the draft.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
How many reports did you see.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Today about talking about Drew Holler. It's like if he
has a great run in the final fource, like you
haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Enough of that. Guy's been quarterback in forever to put
it in perspective, He's got three plus years of trading
cards set him out there.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
This whole new world of nil and everything hasn't been
around that all. He's a poster job for the way
this thing changed.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm telling you, man, I would love Mike McCarthy to
just say, screw you, I'm leaving. You had your chance,
but you want you wanted to Jerry Jones your way
through things and go well, I'm not gonna make a
decision until I absolutely have to.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
But with people calling maybe that means he's good.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Maybe we should keep the guy like I mean that,
that's that's how fantasy people decide to not make a trade. Well,
everybody is calling me about about Breese Hall. Maybe that
means I should hold onto him. Ah No, I'm not
gonna trade him. Too many people are asking me about
him in the trade. I'm gonna hold onto him now,
like I don't.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't get the whole approach by the cowboys where
I get that they live and in KOs and they've
been and they've lived in that controlled chaos for years.
But this is a case where come on, you let
the guy go for for you know, in a week
his contract, I mean, his contract lapses in a week.
It's where we're deciding on what to do. I mean, clearly,
(12:14):
it is only because there's nobody else out there. I like,
like Jerry Joe is sitting in his office waiting and go, Well,
if I get a phone call from somebody saying, hey,
I'd like to come go, Like if the Belichick guy says, hey,
I've had it North Carolina, I'm gonna go Like, really,
is he waiting for a for a phone call from
someone to just pop out of the weeds and go, oh, yeah,
you're my guy? Oh sorry, we're not gonna go with
with with Mike McCarthy like this is and it embarrasses
(12:36):
me that McCarthy says, oh.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I really want to stay with the cowboy Richard.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
He did come on, but.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Jerry did this before he did this with Jason Garrett.
Remember we had it years ago and I had the
Twitter feed where it had the picture of McGinley.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
It's like, you know, what would you say?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You do hear and everything but talking about fixing the glitch,
and it was, Hey, in seven days, the glitch is
fixed with Garrett. Guess what he's I I really want
Mike McCarthy to grow a backbone and say, screw you,
I'm leaving.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Good luck, good luck with somebody else, new system, DAK
everything else.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Luck. Let's go to any other any other place, right,
he could go anywhere, it would be then it would
be okay, Ben Johnson, Mike McCarthy and Mike Vrabel like that,
it would be he would be because people understand that
McCarthy's a good coach, and they understand that, boy, you
have to kind of grate him on a curve because
he's coaching in Dallas, right like that. If this was
Green Bay, or if this was you know, Seattle, and
(13:32):
it was, hey, okay, you won twelve games, Okay, but
you haven't really gone. I can see where there might
be a little bit of Ah's McCarthy really gonna get
you from B to C? Right? Definitely, A to B
we've seen, but is he B two C. But coaching
like this in Dallas, And again what I said last night,
it's not his fault that Dak Prescott sucks in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
It is not his fault.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
The fact that with all of this going on in
Jerry Jones of trying to figure out the roster and
paying guys he shouldn't pay. The fact that you could
still go twelve twelve, twelve wins, and and and and
into the playoffs and be a threat and only be
beholden to the fact your quarterback stinks when it really
when the when when the chips are down, Like I
think teams understand, Okay, he's he's really got a great
handle of this, and boy, he would absolutely flourish with
(14:14):
our team.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He would be.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It would be, it would be the next three guys
because right now it's Johnson and Vrabel and everybody else.
And now it's Johnson, Vrabel and McCarthy, and maybe McCarthy
jumps ahead of Rabel, maybe he jumps out, maybe Ben
Jonson's I don't want to he would be maybe becomes
the number one guy because at least he has a
better track record. More recently than Rabel does.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, it's all chaos.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
In the interim, Pete Carroll, Baby, let's go good luck?

And before we get into Black Tuesday in the NFL,
which kirchen into Black Wednesday, Black Thursday all the way
through a big game in the NBA tonight, the Mavericks
(16:43):
absolutely boat race the Lakers. They suck one to eighteen
ninety seven. This is why whenever I talk about the
Lakers and how the level of excitement I have it's
always with words like tepid and caution and careful because
they got boat raced by the G League Mavericks team.
(17:06):
They did no Luca, no Kyrie, no Roy Tarpley, no
Dirt Novitski.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Kimmy Jackson, Jason Kidder, no, I mean em Ashmeier Weather
who wasn't I.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Mean Quentin Grimes, nixt yo, hey me off the bench
and scores twenty three and the Lakers don't just lose,
they lose by twenty I mean Lebron with a triple double.
And it's like, this is this is inexcusable for a
team that has any sort of real hopes and dreams.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
For this year.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's like, okay, you go into Dallas and lose and
it's Luca, and it's got okay, even though they're not
having a great regular season. You want to lose to
Luca and Kyrie, all right, I get it, But they're out, man,
and you go in and you just don't even show
up like that.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
That's why when I look at the Lakers, I go.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, every time they win a couple of games in
a row and people start getting chesty and all Lebron
and a d is the fountain of youth and the
fair Yeah no, no, tepid, calm, reserved, restrained. Those are all
the best adjunctants for the Lakers because this is what
they turn into. They'll have a couple of games where
they'll play well, then they'll have stuff like this and
you go, what the hell and why is Lebron dancing
(18:13):
at the end of this game? You know, hey, they
just just lost by twenty.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Man, I'll tell you this, Dallas, come on, Hey, that
was more foot movement than he did on that one
defensive rotation.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
That's making the rounds.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Everybody cut, everybody cut, dude.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I mean, how about you rotate out to the three
point shooter.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Nope, man, And then he jumped up and down like
a five year old who didn't get to have dessert
after the shot went in.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
It's like, you didn't rotate.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
This is why, you know, a near triple double for him,
but still, you know they're not even close.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
He don't make a run in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's a game that is close at halftime, and the
second half the Mavericks outscoring by sixteen. Like Spencer Dinwiddie
and PJ. Washington and Klay Thompson, you know, Jayden Hardy.
These are these are guys who are who are who
are on the court sink big shots coming back down, like,
hey man, we're beating the Lakers. This is we're growing
(19:04):
up in front of everybody's eye.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Washington was a big deal for them during the playoffs
a year ago, so they're hoping he can continue to grow.
But yeah, you're old guy, Quenton Grimes, Hey, Grimey.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Cull yo cube.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I live above a bowling alley and underneath.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Another bowling I mean, he.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Almost came off the bench for a triple double. He's
twenty three to nine and eight, nine and six boom.
But again, tepid, that's the that should be the word
for the Lakers. Tepid, tepid reservation, tepidly optimistic.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I said, I can't say optimistic.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I know it is.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's like it's you know, it's it's when you get
into the shower in your house, like after everybody else's
like when you have people over and they're staying over
and everybody's taking a shower for you go out for
the day, and like you're the last one to shower.
Get to your house, You're like, okay, I'm I'll be
in it out in five minutes. You're like, oh, this
is this everybody's used up the hot water. This is
so lukewarm. Now that's the Lakers. The Lakers on that
last lukewarm shower of the morning, when you know Aunt
(20:01):
Petunia and Uncle Bert and they're six kids have all
showered and they're downstairs, you know, digging, digging holes in
your floor while you're like, I just want to jump
in and shower for five seconds. That that's the Lakers.
They're the tipidity of that watertime.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I have all sorts of questions about the analogy and
that you just used and some relatives that may or
may not be real.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
No, I don't have an uncle Bert.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well, Aunt Petunia.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I guess Harry Potter's on my mind because I thought
of Ampatuna.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
But did you have did they have the six kids? Though?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh no, no, well, well we've we've had members of
Pam's family out here where it's like six kids at
the time, so.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I was kind of thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But don't tell me about did they do any snake
round up? Like they're Randy Quaid and no in vacation.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
No, no, they all just want to talk about the Lions.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's okay, that's all it is. That's fine.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
There's no snake round up, there's no nah.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You did twenty hours of radio each week. You don't
need to talk about the Lions anymore. By the way,
a little development here, your guy porzingis going to the bench,
uh hobbled his ankle, get his footstep don it looked
like and goes off awkwardly. Ten point Boston lead two
minutes left in the first at Denver.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
But here is your guy or Zingis.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Steve de Sego lo more in this game coming up?
And what's trending in a few minutes. But now it's
time for black Tuesday. We had black Monday, we had
black Sunday. Girodmeo gets fired. We like Monday, Doug Peterson
got fired. No, and I want to say thanks to
the to the NFL for spacing all these firings out.
Give it to give us contestion there out the week,
right because it is it is a few days until
(21:34):
we get to the college football semifinals on Thursday and Friday,
so we kind of need not just Monday, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
So I'm sure there's a there's a schedule that's set,
and we'll get the surprise firing on Wednesday. Right.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
This is where this is normally.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Where the Raiders do it, where you think, okay, everything
is oh no, no, no, no, no, Now we're gonna
fire our guy. So I'm sure we'll get the one
last firing tomorrow to make it seven openings and then
nothing on Thursday and Friday, because that's when we have
the college football semifinals something to take us through. I
like the NFL's schedule all of this, Like I could
just see Goodell going through it. And Okay, so Monday
is right, okay, so Sunday Craft, you're taking Sunday right, Okay,
(22:08):
the Sunday slot is gone, all right, Jaguars, what do
you want? We'll take Monday at ten, Monday at ten, Jaguars. Okay,
what do we got here to our Raiders?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh? You know, we'll take Tuesday at like nude, Okay, great,
Raiders have Tuesday in day?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Who else did who else?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Deed?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
What else we got? So they're doing that for us,
and I kind of dig that they're doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, it's good and we'll see if any more surprises
come up. I mean there's still plenty of decisions to
be out there. I mean plenty of top notch cannonates.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I mean Mike.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
McCarthy, maybe your team will get the okay to talk
to him. Could be trade, you never know, right, I mean, look,
the Bears even brought that up in their inane.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Wow it was really just one bad quote after the next.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
My brothers and I I think we texted more today
than we have in years combined, Like did you see
this nonsense?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
How about this? Bears? Hey, anything could happen.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I mean, there could be a trade on the We'll
give up draft picks, Like what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
What do you like? Why? Why?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Why?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Why is that guy still got a quote unquote job. Sorry, Polls,
you're out. Uh you're gonna be the fall guy. But
all of that to say, yeah, there's nothing to say
that we won't have another change coach GM full on
structural change. There's still plenty of chasts to come.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But today we wave goodbye to Antonio Pierce, who was
relieved of his duties as head coach of the Raiders.
And at first I want to say this because the
the the overwhelming image I have of Antonio Piers. It's
kind of weird when I think a back to the
you know, the the one plus year that Antonio Piers
had as the as the interim coach and then okay,
let's bring him back and then they didn't win any
(23:45):
games and you go over the division like it's gonna happen.
Is that I just think of him. I think of
his press conference yesterday where he's wearing that really sweet
starter pull over that good. I really want one, like
I want a Mets one like that, and I want
to Jets one like.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
That, but they're like five dollars on eBay. It's like,
come on, guys.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But like he's wearing that sweet Raiders starter pullover that
has the half zip in the pocket and he's saying,
hey man, when you're good, everybody says apap.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
When you stink, everybody watch you fire.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I just think, going, man, he just looks like he
just looks like the epitome of cool. Right there. I'm
wearing a sweet ass pull over and I know I'm
probably gonna get fired. So I dig that Antonio Pierce
went out with that kind of dignity.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
So did that go out with a smile. I like,
look he got he got a shot. Yeah right he did.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
After the interim tag placed in twenty twenty three, everybody
rallied based on good feelings and just the whole aura
around the team had taken at least a positive turn,
long standing and sustainable. Oh certainly not, especially when you
picked terribly at the quarterback position in terms of how
(24:48):
you were going to move forward. Whether it was a
long term plan of hey, we're going to struggle in
twenty four and eventually get it right to Lesco's gonna
get another run. It looks like there again, unless Mark
d us and Tom Brady changed their mind tomorrow. Because again,
all of this is fluid. All of it's fluid. I mean,
Rex Ryan interviewed with the Jets. You have no idea
what's coming down the next timeline, guys, I texted you
(25:12):
the perfect fit. Brandon Staley is the perfect guy for
that job.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You actually you actually texted with Brandon Staley already in
rad you had it photoshopped in raiders gear.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I'm I'm all for it. We need to we need
to start this, we need to get this going. And
so what you're saying is liked him and thought it
was just a matter. I think he's a really really
good coach, and he likes Vegas. Make it happen, all right,
and he los Vegas.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But I will tell you this right and and I'm
and I'm serious about this because I know that we
say his name and it comes up and and it
doesn't feel like he's leaving. But Dion Sanders is never
going to have a better chance to coach his kid
than if he left for the Raiders. Now, all right, No,
I know leaving Kylee would be a it would be
(26:01):
a difficult leave for him because he says I'm staying.
I'm staying. I'm saying. But wouldn't be the first coach
to say I'm staying and I'm leaving for the NFL.
But if he wants to go and coach Shador Sanders,
like this is it like if you want to go
coach your kid, usually everybody's dreamed of that end when
they're fourteen, fifteen years old, right Like I coach my
kid for a long time. I knew it was time
to it was okay, time be done. You go with
(26:22):
other coaches now. But he's got a chance because if
the Raiders hired him. Right, He's such a strong personality
and such a strong influencer that nobody that's drafting one
through five would even think about taking Shaduur Sanders and
he would fall into the Raiders lap at six. Yes,
you have the Hey, I don't really know how good
(26:44):
he is, and some pundits don't have a first round
grade on Shador Sanders, but he's still gonna go at
the top. He's still one of the two most talented quarterbacks,
and quarterbacks go high. But there is nobody who would
get in the way of the Rangers. If the Raiders
hired Dion Sanders, they would say, you know what, not
getting invite this, not getting involved in whatever could happen.
I am gonna LeVar Ball stay my way out of
(27:05):
what's happening here.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Why do you think with Lonzo and the Lakers, nobody
else is gonna take him. I don't want that to
want his dad, you know, be in a shadow over
the team. I don't want to coach Shador Sanders and
have his dad chiming in on stuff and have him
say who knows what he what? He would wind up
saying how coachable would he be? If his dad's coaching
another team, Nobody, nobody is gonna jump in that way,
and he would have a clear path to take him
(27:27):
at number six. So you want to coach your kid
if he really wants. You can't tell me he doesn't
want to. I know he wants to stay and everything
is wonderful, but his kids are gone now right. And
when I say his kids, I mean Chador is gone
and Travis Hunter is gone. Uh, you are having two
guys your team get drafted the top five or six picks.
That's not gonna happen again. If you're gonna go, if
(27:47):
you're gonna coach your kid, this is the time to
do it. Nobody will stand in your way of drafting
shaduor Sanders. The Giants aren't gonna take him at number
two and say yeah, we're gonna make it work here.
That not gonna They're not gonna have to sit here
and say I gotta worry about in every press conference
what somebody's gonna tell me. But Deon Sanders is gonna say, oh,
I watched film with that Giants game.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Man, I don't know, I don't I don't know when.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They keep when they get calling those plays the X
on the side when I I mean, you're gonna risk
that happening. You have no idea. Deon Sanders a complete wildcard.
Raiders hire him, He'll coach your door Sanders And at
least now you have an identity. And how much fun
would Dion and Chadur in Vegas be? Like it? Forget
about everything else about the Cowboys and the Steelers and
all these all the popular team, it would all be.
(28:28):
It would all be glitz and glamour and Dion and
Vegas and Chador like that makes sense so many ways around.
That is probably not gonna happen, but it makes so
much sense. Mike Carmen, Well, we could also turn back time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I mean back when they were doing videos in Atlanta
with mc hammer and stuff. So like we get to
bring that to Vegas. You're gonna have his full entourage
with him in the whole nine yards. How about that?
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
I like it. Everything is back in the nineties old again.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Hey, le Quit and McCarthy uh and Pete Carrol and
all these guys are gonna get jobs.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
No, the curiosity still is. Remember Shaduer with his giant shoes.
As to whether there's still potential for Dable and Shane
to be blown out should Dion, you know, just waving
their general direction the merrit family.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
But yeah, the the.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Chaduur draft grads are interesting, right, Why look at any
mock drafts because of necessity and because of what the
quarterback always does. I should say that the latter part
is the bigger one. We always know quarterbacks are going early.
He gets drafted, but you have all these reports that
you know he's low end one or high two or
whatever the case is, or some saying I wouldn't draft
(29:46):
him at all.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
That.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, maybe it does sync up perfectly to.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Go to Brady and what the Raiders are cooking for
twenty twenty five, nothing else. It'll make them relevant beyond
the Raider image store over at Universal City.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Well, look, what are you get it?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You're getting a head coach in a in a in
a head coaching cycle where there's not a lot of
exciting candidates.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
And clearly Mike Frankwell and Ben Johnson aren't going to
the ring.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
You're getting your quarterback when you need a quarterback, right,
Aid and O'Connell has shown I'm just a guy. Gardner
mentioned has been a career backup. You solve your two
biggest issues. Now, yes there's a chance and a risk,
but there's always a chance and a risk. But you
solve those top two issues with hey, head coach, quarterback
check check. Wow, we did that. We did that really
really fast, and it was really easy to do it.
(30:29):
I know that we want to sync Dene up with
all these openings, but you want to coach Shador. This
this is the way it happens. Man. If not, you're
then you're waiting. You're waiting for wherever Shador Sanders winds up,
for that team to not do well. And then I mean, really,
but this is it. You could do one fell swoop man.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
You could be in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
You would be the biggest rockstar head coach in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
If not, what if Brady steals Vrabel from Kraft.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Yeah, but I don't know that Vrabel is now Rabel.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Hey, I'm excited if my team gets Rabel. But over all, like,
oh my goodness, Mike Rabel like no, like Rabel doesn't
move move the needle at all, like my team. I'm excited. Hey,
all right, I'm excited, but but Deon Sanders moves a
needle way more. He's the only coach you pay attention
to in college football until the playoffs start. He's the
only guy. What's he saying all year long? Come on, man,
(31:17):
that's how it goes. He's a guy exit out about
a Fresca exit swollen dome. The Jason Smith Show with

A sportsman man who said he would go for free
to be Dion Sanders offensive coordinator in Vegas. It's Steve
de Sager.

let's maybe we could have co offensive codinative. Yeah, well,
you're not kidding this. This reminds me of my favorite
stat of the day. After the Raiders fired head coach
Antonio Pierce, ap points out the list of most wins

Josh McDaniel's six in that building. Andy Reid has six

fifteen to one oh four. There are no more undefeateds

zero and lost badly at number eight Florida seventy three

(33:23):
lopsided win against a number one ranked hoops team since
Kareem and UCLA at the nineteen sixty eight Final four
destroyed Houston and Elvin Hayes. Tennessee at one point from
three point range was one for twenty four. They were
down twelve nothing quickly seventy three forty three Gators the finals.

individual achievement and individuals?

Here we go.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I'll start you off with an easy one. Look, I

Speaker 5 (36:54):
This was terrible. I have nothing to add to my.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Secret Aaron Rodgers Baul memories.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
And you only have four targets in the entire city,
none of them have a Starbucks inside.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Who am I?
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Who is Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
It's not Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Well, until the dearth of you know, locations to go
and spend money, I was gonna say it was Miami
and Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Obviously with the Starbucks reference, it's Pete Carroll in advance
of his Chicago.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
I never liked it here. I'll be gone soon enough.
This was terrible.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I have nothing to add to my secret room of
football memories. And you only have four targets in the
entire city, and.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
None of them have a Starbucks inside, Oh, it's Captain Kirk.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yes, I am been Roethlis. I am Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins,
very good.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
My secret football room has five coal Bucks.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Just gotta wait till the end, and then you give
your aunts. Wait till let me get through everything and
get it. Really doesn't matter if we keep doing this
every season, because you're never gonna listen to me, Dad,

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Sanders clothes clothes?
Speaker 1 (38:14):

Mike Harty, very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
A guys, Look, I don't know what to do. I
don't know what to say. And I mean not in
this conversation. I mean I don't know what to do.
On the field.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Everyone says every decision I make is wrong.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I mean it's not too far from the truth, but
it's not all the time, just most of the time.
And no one talks about the good games I have
every four or five weeks. But I'm sure with seven
or eight new voices in my head next season, I'll
be able to streamline things and just.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Play Footballer Rogers.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
It could be the top pick that I was.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Who am I?
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Jeff Fisher, not Genas.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's not John If there was a seven and nine reference,
it would be Jeff Fisher. It's not Rogers and nine.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Mike Tomlin. It's not Mike Tomlin, is it Mike Ditka
is not Mike Bears.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
You are set close.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
It wasn't your effort for Sam Dark.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
No close, you said, Bess, Yes, Alex, I am Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
You never believe me, Jason. As soon as you asked
the last question, I looked at Just and said, who's
Jerry Jones' son? That I should have just said that.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
All right, good, You're good.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
You're good as in the form of a Jeopardy like.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Question worked, Oh very good. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Look, guys, when I got here, things were bad, but
then everything changed and it actually got worse. I didn't
think it could be worse than where I was before,
but then you fired the guy who traded for me.
You know what, this whole thing is stupid. I'm gonna
go get a chiloopap. Who am I nod? Yes, I
am DeVante Adams.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
He's got the taco bell in his house.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Very nice that Frostburgs just keep going to say Aaron
Rodgers every.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Single teams, but no Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Fine, Jason, it's gonna hit at some point, It's true.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Just got to wait it out while people are lurking
behind you.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
All right, last one, Hey man, I'm entertaining. Wide receivers
love me. Defensive backs love me. No one keeps both
teams in the game like I do. And now I
can't beat out or I get bench for the two
worst quarterbacks in the NFL who were both on this team?
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Who am I?
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Fitzpatrick, No, he hasn't played in six years.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Wide receivers love me. Defensive backs love me. No one
keeps both teams of the game like I do. Ge, No, no, no.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
The answer is actually any Raiders quo famous.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
The answer is Jameis Winston. Big coaching story in the
NFL coming up next.
