(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. I hate that song. Hello,
and welcome inside our two of The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon. And now Day two,
Round three, the quarterbacks start flying off the board and
(00:45):
there is one rookie drafted who I guarantee you will
be starting at some point this year, Garin t you,
but it might not be the guy you think. How
Happy Friday Night, Happy Mets, No hitter Friday Night. Friday. Yes,
and it's no hit or night, no hittor night for
(01:06):
the Mets in the big bad black uniforms they'd like
to wear. Hey, I got to combine no hitter eleven
pitchers through seven against the Phillies and the Mets have
a combined no hitters. No. I mean on the plus side,
I mean we're almost to the four quarterbacks you predicted
would go last night. We're getting there. I said it
was in the first round. This is not gonna be
the first three rounds that we Yeah, well, man, you
(01:29):
know close. I am watching a nice Angel City to
nothing lead here in front of a uh well, pretty crowd,
pretty good crowd here at Bank of California Stadium in
in southern Californiacs first game, first home game there. Yeah, right,
and then you got well the end of three with
Minnesota and at ten point lead over der grizz So
(01:52):
you have stuff here. You're gonna see a replay of
the Mets no hitter game. There's gonna run that on
a loop all weekend. I can watch the Mets. I
I have a lot of soccer to travel to, Met
s Met Smith, a lot of other things to do. Mets, Mets,
met met Mets. Uh in the NFL draft, while you
were busy watching the Mets, we'll get you caught up
on what happened. Two quarterbacks have just come off the board,
(02:13):
and we mentioned a few minutes ago Malik Willis, who
was initially projected to be potentially the first quarterback selected
in the draft. Uh. Then the second and then he
had to sit quite a long time. Finally gets chosen
by the Titans pick number eighty six in the third round. Right,
and for all of the hey he fell, this is
(02:34):
this is awful for him. Okay, the guys going to
the NFL, and he's in a pretty good situation because
you know what, Ryan Tannehill, how much longer is he
really gonna be there? Right? I mean there is only
one more year left on his deal? Right, This is
this is one of those picks where Okay, now Ryan
Tannehill's our guy, and if Malik Willis can take a
year to learn, Malik Willis can maybe be our quarterback.
(02:54):
It's a great pick for a for a one guy
who draft pundits had had him that high. Look, I
get it, and and and clearly the NFL wasn't as
high as as other UH draft experts were. Guys fall
every year. He's one of those guys who fell. This
is still a pretty talented kid that maybe he sits
for a year and he's able to learn and the
(03:15):
next next year he's a starting quarterback. I mean it
could happen that way. He could be thrust into action
if Tannehill gets hurt. But this was a pick that
was made the Titans knowing, all right, what are we
looking for forward in in in our in our franchise,
we took a quarterback in the first three rounds. You
don't take a quarterback in the first three rounds unless
you think at some point he could wind up starting
(03:36):
for you, right that That's the whole thing. What people
forget is, oh, it's a yeah, you take first round quarterbacks. Yeah,
those are guys that are starting right away. It's we
can't wait to get you into the lineup. But now
when you take a player in the first three rounds,
it's we expect you to fight for the starting job,
potentially start for us at some point. Maybe you're learning
curves a little bit longer. We think he might have
a little bit of that, you know, trying to step
(03:56):
up from playing for Liberty into the NFL. But make
no mistake, they think he's going to be their starting
quarterback at some point, And in a perfect world for them,
they're thinking, okay, great, we get him a third round
he's a really good player on a third round contract,
and after this year, Ryan Tannehill goes and we can
spend all kinds of money on other positions, and hey,
we're looking pretty good. This was made for him to
be the starting quarterback. A year from now, Malik will
(04:18):
is starting for the Titans. The beginning of Yeah, I mean,
the biggest thing here is there is a potential out
for Tannehill after the season. But as we talked about
going in and why well not to go back on
your four quarterback prediction. But it was the idea of
if you don't like these guys, as in, you don't
love them, you're not grabbing them in the first round.
(04:38):
You've got other needs because most of the teams that
need the quarterback right, and you know, they went exactly
two teams and I guess you know, with with Tennessee
jumping up, that wasn't completely unexpected. But you know, you've
seen Atlanta take a quarterback, right, you saw Pittsburgh take
Kenny Pickett. So you've gone to places where the assumption
(05:00):
was they would add a signal caller. And and before
it's all said and done, uh, there's a couple of
pretty obvious teams where they're that's most likely the case too.
But if you didn't think any of these guys were
going to be a difference maker right away, You've got
other needs to shore things up right, Why Carolina didn't
race out of the box to go and and grab
a quarterback as many had projected in their mock drafts,
(05:23):
And you can find them. The receipts are all over
the inner webs of why Malik Willis was sitting there
at six And it made no sense to me, Jason.
It's like, you've got so many other things before you
and a quarterback. You're already paying almost nineteen million dollars
too for this year. Why would you go and create
a competition with a guy that you don't necessarily love
(05:44):
just because he has a quarterback tagged to him. So
now now you moved down the road. And for Malik Willis, yeah,
he falls into what is readily acknowledged as one of
those top ten organizations of you trust how they go
through their decision making process, that there is rhyme or reason,
(06:04):
not a bunch of guys fighting in a back room.
Not that Mike Vrabel's demeanor at certain times and video
clips wouldn't lead you to that assessment of things. But uh,
most of the time, it looks like they're all at
least pulling towards the same direction and have an organizational
you know, blueprint for what they're looking for, and now
(06:25):
he adds to it. And if they decide Tannehill is
done and they don't want to pay the position, right,
because that's what you always get to. Because the number
on on his contract is quite large. You could take
the dead cap if you had to and say see
you later. Dollar cost averaging, we're out. If you're a
(06:46):
value customer, you deserve a simple gesture of appreciation from
your credit card company. And that's why I discovered matches
all the cash back and we're in the end of
your first year. Discover exceptionally common sense. Learn more at
discover dot com. Slash match limitations they do apply, all right.
So the leak Willis is e T A three starting
for the Tennessee Titans, because make no mistake, that's why
they got him. His future is still right there. It
(07:08):
just isn't. I'm getting paid all kinds of money my
rookie season because I went in the first round. It sucks,
but this is the National Football League. If you're good,
you'll get paid. Don't worry. By the time. If the
leak Willis is great, by the time. He's ready to
get paid quarterbacks making sixty five million dollars a year,
So he'll be just fine as long as he proves
he's good. Uh. The guy who's gonna start at some
(07:29):
point this season. We just saw him get selected by
the Carolina Panthers in the third round, Matt Corral out
of Ole miss. This is a guy that's going to
be starting for the Panthers over Sam Donald as soon
as he is ready. All Right, the Panthers consider the
last couple of days and tell me till they're blue
in the face. We love Sam. We love Sam. We
(07:50):
love Sam. You're still taking a quarterback. You're taking a
guy in the first three rounds. You know Sam Donald stinks, right,
they know he does. All the Panthers have been doing
the last couple of days is is just fighting against
the perception because it's been such a bad backlash since
they draft, since they traded for Donald, and they gave
up so much for him, and they exercised his his
(08:10):
contract year this year, so they're stuck with him. Every
day that deal gets worse and worse. So what do
you do You want to lean into it? No, we
love Sam. Sam's an't gonna No, they know Sam Donald stinks.
They told him they were going to bring in a
quarterback if they could, and now they bring in somebody
who potentially could have been a first round guy, could
have snuck into the first round, but the quarterbacks dropped.
He's someone that has a really big arm. His release
(08:33):
is really fast, very Marino esque, and as soon as
he is ready, he will win the starting job away
from Sam Donald. Sam Donald has been in the league
for too long right now. He's not suddenly going to
get it right. He had three years with the Jets.
It's a second year with the Panthers. Uh. He has
not been good in any of them. You don't suddenly
get great in year. It's been this his fifth year. No,
it's not gonna happen. Alright, we know who he is.
(08:55):
As soon as Matt Corral is ready, he will start.
Maybe week four. Week I've maybe they're gonna want to
be careful and say we don't give them too much
too soon, but by week five I expect to see
Matt Corral starting for the Panthers. Wouldn't be shocked as
it were. I mean, when you look at Sam Donald,
I'm curious to see what he is new offensive lineman
intoe and in theory Christian McCaffrey back to to create
(09:19):
some havoc for opposing defenses. I'd like to see that
version of Sam. I wasn't gonna go all American President
on you. But that's kind of where I'm at with
the uh, the logic here. I don't, I don't, I
don't know. Maybe maybe maybe they can, uh, shall we say,
corral something of a positive effort out of Sam that
was bad and terrible and forced. But that's okay, uh,
(09:40):
since you're calling for Sam's demise as a you know,
bitter Jets fan uh at the end of the first
quarter of the season. Because I gotta tell you, if
they have to go that route, that means things and
the wheels have come off, and that means Matt Rule
is grasping at straws to try to keep his job. Yeah,
but look, but maybe maybe that's what you need. Maybe
(10:00):
you just need a rookie, you know, you need his
rookie energy to come in. But as long as he
shows he's good enough, you know he'll get a chance.
And you know, the physical skills that Matt Correll has, Yeah,
he's gonna get that chance because I know I've seen
Sam Donald. I know I I still watch what he
is at this point, I still not I still watch
Sam Donald miss wide open wide receivers, not reading the
(10:21):
defense right. That doesn't change all of a sudden. You
either can do that or you can't. And you can
look downfield and know what you see or you don't.
And you've had a long enough time to show that.
So as soon as he puts together a couple of
bad games, where it's gonna be, let's get mac correl ready.
And the best part is he can come in this
summer and have no pressure on him because they know
they want him be the quarterback. But Sam's the guy
(10:42):
right now, and and you're looking at his his e
t a arrival as weeks said, Week five, weeks six,
that's where they're gonna make that move because you can't wait.
You want to give Donald enough time. You don't want
to rush Corral, but you can't wait too long. So
you gotta have that sweet spot by like, Okay, he's
seen the NFL now for a few weeks. We have
the extra game. Uh, we have some weapons here we
can take advantage of. And Donald's just not doing it
(11:04):
for us. Matt corral will he will be the guy.
Do you have the biggest chance to start this year?
All right, Kenny Pickett will probably have a chance, but
he will most likely open up behind trabiski Um. And
if the if the Steelers can find a way forward
and win games, they're not just gonna make that move, right.
The Tomlins looking at Kenny Pickett has all right, maybe
(11:25):
he's our guy for the next fifteen years. They're not
gonna rush him in. As long as the Steelers are
winning and competing, They're not gonna make that move. It
will be a little bit more patient. Whereas the Panthers, Yeah,
they gotta push that button right because it's a much
different situation for the Pago Hey, we gotta find something, man,
and it's shamp donald sticks. We gotta we gotta make
a move. So, whether it's panic or whether it's a plan, yeah,
(11:46):
they will. They will be ready to get Matt Corral
in there by the early part, by the the end
of the first third of the season, he will there
book it. I like the chaos theory that you embrace here,
so I'll be excited if it were to come to fruition.
Look guy that can extend plays with his legs. Uh,
in just the the curiosity can they get some semblance
(12:09):
of just offensive consistency, because as soon as McCaffrey got hurt,
that was it. No, no disrespect that Cuba Hubbard, but
he's not the dynamic playmaker and not someone that defenses
have to uh focus on to that level and change
their scheme. So, um, look, I I would love to
see Sam succeed. Why because he's one of those guys
(12:33):
that's gotten an inordinate amount of hate, uh the last
twenty four months. It's not you know, just because he
got picked third by the Jets and the Jets didn't
know what they were doing at the time. That's not
his fault. Uh. I think there's a selecting him third.
(12:55):
I think there's no No, I'm not taking all of
it away from him, don't get wrong, No, Okay, alright,
know he's he's been awful, but you know, up until
the last twenty four hours, not really a lot of
confidence in what the Jets were laying down and even
now it's still all on paper. Just because you can
print out a virtual trading card right now, if a
(13:15):
guy named Sauce doesn't mean you've won anything. Oh, yeah, No,
we've won. We've won the draft. We've won the draft.
They've we've been declared winners of the draft. Do you
want to win April? We want yeah, because that maybe
the only month we can win. We might have been
able to win in October and November, December, so if
I can win in April, it's still now. Damn it.
It's a month just like any other month. It's a month.
April is no better note words than any other month.
(13:37):
Mike rmen, what you win the last three days of April. Yes,
we're gonna hang a banner. Hang that banner at MetLife.

He has a long time NFL insider. He has a
Pro Football Hall of Fame voter who will likely be
voting for Sauce Gardner on the first ballot in twenty years.
(14:42):
He is here to tell us by just how many
points the Jets have won the draft by. It is
Jason Cole Jacoble what the Jets wit this by three touchdowns?
And when the draft four touchdowns and went by what
they went by and a half? Yeah, buddy, yeah, buddy,
forty two and a half? Yeah, sort of What is
(15:04):
the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is how they
measure how they measure the NFL Draft. M hm, April,
I want to be at Marinaro for a day. How
great was that? Just read the card Blues has never
(15:25):
been the same. So see, I just watching that stream.
Then I'm actually gonna look for it now, I haven't
seen that on television in a long time. Then between
that and Sipa Witz. I need those back in my life. Hey,
I was on that show at the end, and then
they gave me Beverly Hills Bunch, and then I played
(15:46):
another cap and then why pd Blue. They was played
cops for fifty bleep in years at Hollywood. Yeah. Well yeah,
and he made a whole lot of money in the
eighties and then everybody found that you couldn't actually act.
But never mind, dare you Wow, that's a hot take
on Are you talking about France or Eric? He was
just good looking. That's a smoking hotcake. Well I've been
(16:10):
accused of that many times on this show, but you know,
we persevere. I just wish more people. I just wish
more people knew who ed Marinaro was. We could have
a lot of fun with him. It's like Mario has
been famous. It's nineteen seventy five, it was it was
a rainback and then he was an actor. Uh, Jim Brown, Yeah, sorry,
(16:33):
I was gonna say, if you go down that second highway,
we got problems. What are the acting? He was in
Laverne and Shirley when they moved to California at the end,
remember when they Yeah, he was in that and uh yeah,
look I'm looking at the same Wikipedia page you are, okay,
trying to remember all of you know, I actually remember that.
I didn't need Wikipedia for that. I didn't from you
(16:55):
went to Wikipedia for that. I did ed Marinaro was
a Jets legend, Come on Lavern and Shirley. And then
he did like, um yeah, then the Hill Street Clues.
That was it. That was highlight. He was six years
of Hill Street Blues. That's that's pretty impressive. I gotta
give him back. That's not bad. And then we did
the Falcon Craft. He did some Dynasty. Um yeah, there's
(17:17):
there's quite a bit there. Okay, there you going then
and there's an extra South stage. He did pay Joey Butterfuco.
I had TV, damn it. I was TV before this
this network ever existed. That's what I am. I'm davy.
I define it. Garry Marshall from soap Dish, that's beautiful.
(17:41):
This is a difficult decision, but it's these decisions I
get paid one point sevellion dollars a year to make.
So here's what we're gonna do. Hypnotic. There's a nurse
in a restaurant that I miss a meeting. I don't
worry about it. We got it all right. So uh no,
seriously though, j Cole, I mean, really, the Jets at
what they go to fifteen and two, they improve with
(18:01):
the draft fourteen and three? Maybe how right here? Alright
and mark it up twenty and oh right here? You
know what, somewhere somebody believed what you just said. Yes, absolutely,
I mean you know, they get the wide receiver and
the cornerback lined up against each other every day in practice,
(18:24):
and see how much better to that team that makes
your team. It's just extraordinary. I don't know you. You
are you are completely silenced by the fact that that
I'm going along with your your dream. I am riding
a wave right now. Right we had the Jets won
(18:46):
the draft, The Mets had a no hitter tonight. This
this is this is it. This is my time. This
is a summer of Jason. It's a Sugill Taylor McGill
just going at it right. That's you're just five innings
of no hitter and then four pictures are fifteen and
six or something like that. That's right. Look at you,
all that Mets knowledge. Every sentence I'm going to say
(19:07):
for the next few days is going to end with
and all this without to Grob, whether it merits it
or not, Like, would you like extra butter on that steak? Yes?
I would in all of this without to Grob. Okay, great,
thank you. So it's gonna what is that great steakhouse
in the Bronx I'm trying to remember it is? Um yeah,
just where they put the butter on the steak at
(19:28):
the end. I mean it's not it's beyond. It's better
than Ruth Chris, I gotta so anyways, Yeah, now you
got him salivating. It's all over. But as far as
the draft over, yeah, he is definitely in a Homer
Simpson moment. There's this forbidden sandwich has written all over
(19:48):
his brain. That is exactly where he's at and he's
probably gonna dispatch someone from his house to go get
him a sandwich as we speak. So do you wanted
to draft for that sandwich? Hey? Jelly, definitely. Hey, whenever
you're ready, show you what you guys know, my wife
brought me back. I'm driving down for our della to
get the potato salad and the corn beef. Oh stop stop, dude,
(20:10):
you couldn't come to the super Bowl to see us
on stage when you were in town. Oh, I can't
make me drive across very downtown. I was, oh, sorry,
I can't come downtown. So I just didn't want to,
Like I didn't want to go through the parade of
homeless people downtown went. I came three thousand miles. I
can't go an extra four miles. Now, sorry, I can't
do that for you. There's four miles of homeless people.
(20:30):
And the way it was that you couldn't come see us,
you couldn't come see us. Now you're all right, all right,
I'm guilty. I admit it. Yes, And just so you know,
I already had big time Taco bell tonight. Man. So
I am winning. I am winning so much. I am
winning so much. Can I ask a football question? Now?
(20:52):
Do we need it to get? This? Is? This? Is it?
This is not the no mild sauce tacer sauces. Sauce
sauce very weak. Yeah uh oh well, so speaking of sauce,
just put a little bit of water, right, I mean,
what are we doing speaking of sauce. Let's get Jason
(21:13):
Cole's reaction to sauce gard Do you see what I
did there? See? I just drew you in and mentioned sauce,
and now, boom, I got you. I got lightning coming
out of my finger, hot sauce before you even glin
to sauce. Yeah, how is my way to get you?
Got got me because you were you were the fly
on the spider web before you knew where you were.
(21:34):
Oh hey, this is sticky right here? What's going on? Wait? Wait?
What is that? Oh? Oh I'm stuck man. And then
you realize sauce sauce. I'm I'm perplexed, and I mean, alright,
Sauce Gardener a great pick. I like the wide receiver
(21:55):
you upgraded at those positions. I like the Giants draft
when they went a defensive end and offensive. I like
Neil better than Thibodeaux. I think Tibodeau in New York
is potentially a headache um. But you know, the talent
is undeniable. I mean, there's gonna be the LT humps
right away, which is unfair because he's not LT. But
(22:17):
they will do that, and then he's going to talk
about branding in New York and that's gonna be over.
So of the four New York pick highest highest um
odds for failure definitely Thibodeaux off the charts. Um Sauce
comes in at a solid second on that one, and
then the wide receiver and Neil Um pretty much their
(22:41):
neck and neck for for the tie for third on
that one. Alright, So what did you make of the
wide receivers getting dealt and both quarterbacks Uh Rogers and
Lamar Jackson playing like they didn't know what was going
on even though the receivers are like, oh yeah, I
talked to Rogers. Is the most distant anyway? Was by far?
(23:01):
Because it's like, well, I wanted to be king of
Green Bay and I want to prove to you how
much more important I am than the general manager and
the head coach combined. And I want to be rich
beyond belief. You mean we don't have money left signed
Davante Adams. Oh, I mean he has to get paid
like that one. You know, like it's time for Aaron
(23:25):
Rodgers to stop bitching about anything that happens with that
team based on how he has acted this offseason, because
nothing he has done this offseason is built on winning. Now.
Last year, when he was upset with how they got
knocked out of the playoffs by Tampa Bay, and you know,
a poorly coached game, and presumably he was angry about
(23:49):
another poorly coached game by Floor in the playoffs this year, right,
and Flour deserves, you know, an endless amount of criticism
for how he has botched the last two playoff games
that the Packers have been at, no question about that.
If that was what it was about, Aaron Rodgers should
have taken a completely different path. But he took the
(24:10):
path of squashing Lafleur and Buda Kunst in this one
so that he could prove that he's the guy with
the big, swinging whatever um in this organization. And then
he comes back and he's surprised that they let Davante
Adams go. And then now he's going to take a
guy from you know, north North Bolivia state or wherever
(24:32):
the heck he's from, and that's going to be basically
your number one receiver, you know, like you're going to
take a guy who probably doesn't even speak English at
this point in time because he's been in Bolivia for
his entire life. And I mean, that's a it's a
global game, Jole, It was a global game. But you
have to learn how to speak English to run in
(24:54):
in Green Bay. That's just how it works, okay, or
at least you have to speak in cheese, something like cheese.
So it's you know, Aaron Rodgers like, I'm sorry, I
got no patience for that, Lamar Jackson. Um, it's time
for him to see the writing on the wall that
they ain't paying him because they're they're tired of catering
(25:18):
to him because he hasn't done the things that he
needs to do to improve as a quarterback in terms
of his passing game. So you know, they gave away
his best weapon or best buddy or whatever you want
to call, Hollywood Brown and look to get a first
round pick for Hollywood Brown. I give them all sorts
(25:38):
of credit. You know that was a steel And I
look at the Arizona Cardinals and go really, like you
watch Christian Kirk get overpaid by Jacksonville, and your answer
was to overpaying a trade for Hollywood Brown, Like you
thought that that was like balancing out the Ledger on
this one. So I just I just don't get it.
(26:01):
But Lamar Jackson, like, you better show up this year
and you better actually learn how to throw the ball,
or you're out because they're gonna go a year to
hear with you. They're not paying you are on a
long term deal. That is plainly obvious. What's going on
this offseason? Jason called our guest to Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon Live the Fox Sports Radio Studios. I mean,
(26:22):
people just turn on the dime, going, Wow, that was
some incredible analysis from a guy that really brought us
cowboy bees? Have you you kind of turn on a
dime on that, Jacoble? That was what I can do.
I'm so multitalented, it's ridaking us. Okay, I can do
cowboy Bees, I can do la Vernon. Surely I can
do actual football analysis. You know, challenge me, That's what
(26:43):
I'm asking. Just challenge me. Okay, I'll challenge this right here. Okay,
because what we talked about this a few minutes ago,
Desmond Rider goes to Carolina, Malik Willis gets drafted by
the Titans. Who's the first guy to start in the NFL?
Between the two of them? Between those two, yes, who
was the first guy to start? Because I think Corral
starts by week six. This is so boring, Like this
(27:11):
is just such a boring question, like we're gonna we're
gonna quarterback round quarterback, Like, none of these guys are
any good quarterback, even the guy pick it in the
first round, he's no good. He's Matt Hasselbeck number two.
I mean, and Matt Hasselbeck. I shouldn't say Matt Hasselbeck
had a very good career for what he was, right,
(27:32):
what six round draft pick? Um? You know, Petic going
to Pittsburgh is just an enormous gamble and a guy
who's just got mediocre talent and he's the best of
the completely mediocre lot. So okay, you want to estimate
who among a bunch of mediocre players are gonna be
the first one to start? Like which team is gonna
(27:52):
have its injury first? I mean, that's really what you're asking.
So let's go roll dice in in Vegas on and
played double odds on our table. That's all we're doing.
He is Pro Football Hall of Fame voter and official
quarterback hater. Jason Cole's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. Now,
if you had Malick Willis or Malik Seely, which one
(28:13):
would have a better jo? Oh? Come on, malikile st
John's legend. Too soon, man, too soon, Too soon? Too soon. Oh,
that's that's not too soon. Come on, it is, that's
not that's that's paying. That's an homage. J Cole is
always your guests would say the word homage and in
the same sentence in one right and and and nobody
(28:36):
would say cowboy bees and and all right, dude rotten.
I mean no, not many people would no. But that's
but that's how versatile I am. Yeah, versatility, eclectic. Yeah,
they're all those again, all of the quarterbacks in this draft,
like Jim Drucon Miller is looking at this going, I'm
better than all those guys. How great was it to
(28:58):
have his name come up a million times yesterday? It
was awesome. Everybody kept spelling it wrong because they kept
putting an end in, and you can hit you can
hit up. Jason was at Jason Cole sixty two. Also,
he will be You guys want to get out of
(29:19):
this conversation is so bad. So I want to tell
everybody that could be some lawsuit by Jim druck and
Miller against again. No, you're gonna have a Hill Street
Blues watch party, a streaming watch party. I want people
to be able to hit you up for details. I've
called up all that stuff on Netflix. I have a
queued up and ready to go right now, All right,
Jason Coles also going to give you his top ten
favorite Hill Street Blues characters on Twitter coming up in
(29:41):
about ten minutes. Right, and coffee he was he wasn't
Simpowitz and with different Okay, well he was caught. Marinara
was coffee, that was definitely true. Yes he was coffee.
Simple Witch was bunts. I said he was Beverly Hills buns.
Nanny was Sippowitz. You can't just talk about cops. You
don't know what you're talking about, and you don't do
(30:02):
the throwing the accent out. That's awesome, that's trying hard.
This is the guy who thought cowboy bes is a
funny bit to do on the radio. That's this guy.

Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My Bad is Fred,
Mike Armand live from the Fox Sports Radio studios, where
you know, just a little bit of of of this
(31:08):
story for a few minutes, we go back in the
NFL Draft coming up, but we watched today Trevor Bauer
gets suspended for two years by Major League Baseball UM
and and no credit for the time he has not
played in the last games. Uh it was a pretty
stunning suspension of Trevor Bauer, who has missed time of
(31:29):
course because of and this is the most severe punishment
handed out under the Sports Domestic Violence Policy uh AC
cues of sexual assault by a San Diego woman who
took consensuals rough sex too far over the course of
a couple of encounters last April and May. And you know,
when I see this story happen, there's so many different
reactions I have to it. Mike and and and the
(31:49):
and the one I see now is is just when
a story like this comes up, and here's a two
year suspense for Trevor Bauer, and invariably and inevitably it's
look at, why is to Shaun Watson still get to play?
Why does it? Why does he at twenty two women
accuse him of misconducting? He not only is he playing,
he got the biggest guaranteed contract in NFL history. Marcelo
(32:11):
Zuno was able to come right back and play in
Major League Baseball. These are all stories that are trending
over the course of the day. And while yes, none
of these stories are the same thing, they're all different.
They all come back to to to the to. The
one common route is that you know, I love sports, man,
I really do, right, I've been doing this for a living.
(32:31):
If I didn't love sports, I love sports my whole life.
You love sports your whole life. I love what they
represent for kids growing up and and to be able
to realize your dreams and play professionally. And there's it's
so much fun to talk about who's playing well and
who's not, and who's great and who sucks. I mean,
this is it's it's great sports is a great, great world,
but this more, you know, it just makes me sad
(32:52):
when I get all this reminder of how about many
times sports just biff stuff, and they screw stuff up
so much by getting cold feet on legal issues like
domestic violence or something where it gets outside of the
framework of what we're comfortable with. There's human issues that
sports still struggles with. And granted, sports still doesn't better
(33:12):
than than a lot of others do. But but moments
like this they just make me sad because I I realized, boy,
we could have done this better. We could have done
this a lot better. And now you know, here's Major
League Baseball making a strong stance on domestic violence, and
the reaction is going to be, oh, it wasn't done
for this, It wasn't done for here. It's not you know,
in a court of law, it hasn't been proven yet,
and it's trying to take a strong stance, and there's
(33:33):
so many things that still go wrong, And it makes
me sad when I think about stuff like this. Yeah,
I mean, it's you're you're trying to figure out what
the the next iteration is, right, because people bring up
old examples like, well, we learned, right, Roger Goodell's office
learns and and they're trying to figure out what they
are because remember back in the in the day with
tag Leabo, as long as you were out of a
(33:55):
jail cell and could stand up, they could put you
in a uniform and get on on a field, right. Uh.
And with Deshaun Watson, we may not see anything in
a courtroom for another year, al right, so all the
potential for a suspension for him may be still full
of further down the road. It's it's all about trying
to figure out where the transparency is the league's role
(34:16):
in adjudicating such In this particular case, I don't know
where's the line between domestic violence and an assault in
a lifestyle that everybody's trying to wrap their arms around
it and figure out exactly what's going on here. Right.
He had another accuser step forward today, so we'll see
where that goes. But as it came down today, you know,
(34:40):
it's you're you're still just trying to to get the
handle and a reminder that you know, we always talked
about it from the other side. Players are human, which
means they're gonna have mistakes too, Right, We have to
remember there's a lot of good in the players, but
there's gonna be a fraction, just like in society. That
aren't Fox Sports Radio that Jason spi the show with

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. I hate that song. Hello,
and welcome inside our two of The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon. And now Day two,
Round three, the quarterbacks start flying off the board and
(00:45):
there is one rookie drafted who I guarantee you will
be starting at some point this year, Garin t you,
but it might not be the guy you think. How
Happy Friday Night, Happy Mets, No hitter Friday Night. Friday. Yes,
and it's no hit or night, no hittor night for
(01:06):
the Mets in the big bad black uniforms they'd like
to wear. Hey, I got to combine no hitter eleven
pitchers through seven against the Phillies and the Mets have
a combined no hitters. No. I mean on the plus side,
I mean we're almost to the four quarterbacks you predicted
would go last night. We're getting there. I said it
was in the first round. This is not gonna be
the first three rounds that we Yeah, well, man, you
(01:29):
know close. I am watching a nice Angel City to
nothing lead here in front of a uh well, pretty crowd,
pretty good crowd here at Bank of California Stadium in
in southern Californiacs first game, first home game there. Yeah, right,
and then you got well the end of three with
Minnesota and at ten point lead over der grizz So
(01:52):
you have stuff here. You're gonna see a replay of
the Mets no hitter game. There's gonna run that on
a loop all weekend. I can watch the Mets. I
I have a lot of soccer to travel to, Met
s Met Smith, a lot of other things to do. Mets, Mets,
met met Mets. Uh in the NFL draft, while you
were busy watching the Mets, we'll get you caught up
on what happened. Two quarterbacks have just come off the board,
(02:13):
and we mentioned a few minutes ago Malik Willis, who
was initially projected to be potentially the first quarterback selected
in the draft. Uh. Then the second and then he
had to sit quite a long time. Finally gets chosen
by the Titans pick number eighty six in the third round. Right,
and for all of the hey he fell, this is
(02:34):
this is awful for him. Okay, the guys going to
the NFL, and he's in a pretty good situation because
you know what, Ryan Tannehill, how much longer is he
really gonna be there? Right? I mean there is only
one more year left on his deal? Right, This is
this is one of those picks where Okay, now Ryan
Tannehill's our guy, and if Malik Willis can take a
year to learn, Malik Willis can maybe be our quarterback.
(02:54):
It's a great pick for a for a one guy
who draft pundits had had him that high. Look, I
get it, and and and clearly the NFL wasn't as
high as as other UH draft experts were. Guys fall
every year. He's one of those guys who fell. This
is still a pretty talented kid that maybe he sits
for a year and he's able to learn and the
(03:15):
next next year he's a starting quarterback. I mean it
could happen that way. He could be thrust into action
if Tannehill gets hurt. But this was a pick that
was made the Titans knowing, all right, what are we
looking for forward in in in our in our franchise,
we took a quarterback in the first three rounds. You
don't take a quarterback in the first three rounds unless
you think at some point he could wind up starting
(03:36):
for you, right that That's the whole thing. What people
forget is, oh, it's a yeah, you take first round quarterbacks. Yeah,
those are guys that are starting right away. It's we
can't wait to get you into the lineup. But now
when you take a player in the first three rounds,
it's we expect you to fight for the starting job,
potentially start for us at some point. Maybe you're learning
curves a little bit longer. We think he might have
a little bit of that, you know, trying to step
(03:56):
up from playing for Liberty into the NFL. But make
no mistake, they think he's going to be their starting
quarterback at some point, And in a perfect world for them,
they're thinking, okay, great, we get him a third round
he's a really good player on a third round contract,
and after this year, Ryan Tannehill goes and we can
spend all kinds of money on other positions, and hey,
we're looking pretty good. This was made for him to
be the starting quarterback. A year from now, Malik will
(04:18):
is starting for the Titans. The beginning of Yeah, I mean,
the biggest thing here is there is a potential out
for Tannehill after the season. But as we talked about
going in and why well not to go back on
your four quarterback prediction. But it was the idea of
if you don't like these guys, as in, you don't
love them, you're not grabbing them in the first round.
(04:38):
You've got other needs because most of the teams that
need the quarterback right, and you know, they went exactly
two teams and I guess you know, with with Tennessee
jumping up, that wasn't completely unexpected. But you know, you've
seen Atlanta take a quarterback, right, you saw Pittsburgh take
Kenny Pickett. So you've gone to places where the assumption
(05:00):
was they would add a signal caller. And and before
it's all said and done, uh, there's a couple of
pretty obvious teams where they're that's most likely the case too.
But if you didn't think any of these guys were
going to be a difference maker right away, You've got
other needs to shore things up right, Why Carolina didn't
race out of the box to go and and grab
a quarterback as many had projected in their mock drafts,
(05:23):
And you can find them. The receipts are all over
the inner webs of why Malik Willis was sitting there
at six And it made no sense to me, Jason.
It's like, you've got so many other things before you
and a quarterback. You're already paying almost nineteen million dollars
too for this year. Why would you go and create
a competition with a guy that you don't necessarily love
(05:44):
just because he has a quarterback tagged to him. So
now now you moved down the road. And for Malik Willis, yeah,
he falls into what is readily acknowledged as one of
those top ten organizations of you trust how they go
through their decision making process, that there is rhyme or reason,
(06:04):
not a bunch of guys fighting in a back room.
Not that Mike Vrabel's demeanor at certain times and video
clips wouldn't lead you to that assessment of things. But uh,
most of the time, it looks like they're all at
least pulling towards the same direction and have an organizational
you know, blueprint for what they're looking for, and now
(06:25):
he adds to it. And if they decide Tannehill is
done and they don't want to pay the position, right,
because that's what you always get to. Because the number
on on his contract is quite large. You could take
the dead cap if you had to and say see
you later. Dollar cost averaging, we're out. If you're a
(06:46):
value customer, you deserve a simple gesture of appreciation from
your credit card company. And that's why I discovered matches
all the cash back and we're in the end of
your first year. Discover exceptionally common sense. Learn more at
discover dot com. Slash match limitations they do apply, all right.
So the leak Willis is e T A three starting
for the Tennessee Titans, because make no mistake, that's why
they got him. His future is still right there. It
(07:08):
just isn't. I'm getting paid all kinds of money my
rookie season because I went in the first round. It sucks,
but this is the National Football League. If you're good,
you'll get paid. Don't worry. By the time. If the
leak Willis is great, by the time. He's ready to
get paid quarterbacks making sixty five million dollars a year,
So he'll be just fine as long as he proves
he's good. Uh. The guy who's gonna start at some
(07:29):
point this season. We just saw him get selected by
the Carolina Panthers in the third round, Matt Corral out
of Ole miss. This is a guy that's going to
be starting for the Panthers over Sam Donald as soon
as he is ready. All Right, the Panthers consider the
last couple of days and tell me till they're blue
in the face. We love Sam. We love Sam. We
(07:50):
love Sam. You're still taking a quarterback. You're taking a
guy in the first three rounds. You know Sam Donald stinks, right,
they know he does. All the Panthers have been doing
the last couple of days is is just fighting against
the perception because it's been such a bad backlash since
they draft, since they traded for Donald, and they gave
up so much for him, and they exercised his his
(08:10):
contract year this year, so they're stuck with him. Every
day that deal gets worse and worse. So what do
you do You want to lean into it? No, we
love Sam. Sam's an't gonna No, they know Sam Donald stinks.
They told him they were going to bring in a
quarterback if they could, and now they bring in somebody
who potentially could have been a first round guy, could
have snuck into the first round, but the quarterbacks dropped.
He's someone that has a really big arm. His release
(08:33):
is really fast, very Marino esque, and as soon as
he is ready, he will win the starting job away
from Sam Donald. Sam Donald has been in the league
for too long right now. He's not suddenly going to
get it right. He had three years with the Jets.
It's a second year with the Panthers. Uh. He has
not been good in any of them. You don't suddenly
get great in year. It's been this his fifth year. No,
it's not gonna happen. Alright, we know who he is.
(08:55):
As soon as Matt Corral is ready, he will start.
Maybe week four. Week I've maybe they're gonna want to
be careful and say we don't give them too much
too soon, but by week five I expect to see
Matt Corral starting for the Panthers. Wouldn't be shocked as
it were. I mean, when you look at Sam Donald,
I'm curious to see what he is new offensive lineman
intoe and in theory Christian McCaffrey back to to create
(09:19):
some havoc for opposing defenses. I'd like to see that
version of Sam. I wasn't gonna go all American President
on you. But that's kind of where I'm at with
the uh, the logic here. I don't, I don't, I
don't know. Maybe maybe maybe they can, uh, shall we say,
corral something of a positive effort out of Sam that
was bad and terrible and forced. But that's okay, uh,
(09:40):
since you're calling for Sam's demise as a you know,
bitter Jets fan uh at the end of the first
quarter of the season. Because I gotta tell you, if
they have to go that route, that means things and
the wheels have come off, and that means Matt Rule
is grasping at straws to try to keep his job. Yeah,
but look, but maybe maybe that's what you need. Maybe
(10:00):
you just need a rookie, you know, you need his
rookie energy to come in. But as long as he
shows he's good enough, you know he'll get a chance.
And you know, the physical skills that Matt Correll has, Yeah,
he's gonna get that chance because I know I've seen
Sam Donald. I know I I still watch what he
is at this point, I still not I still watch
Sam Donald miss wide open wide receivers, not reading the
(10:21):
defense right. That doesn't change all of a sudden. You
either can do that or you can't. And you can
look downfield and know what you see or you don't.
And you've had a long enough time to show that.
So as soon as he puts together a couple of
bad games, where it's gonna be, let's get mac correl ready.
And the best part is he can come in this
summer and have no pressure on him because they know
they want him be the quarterback. But Sam's the guy
(10:42):
right now, and and you're looking at his his e
t a arrival as weeks said, Week five, weeks six,
that's where they're gonna make that move because you can't wait.
You want to give Donald enough time. You don't want
to rush Corral, but you can't wait too long. So
you gotta have that sweet spot by like, Okay, he's
seen the NFL now for a few weeks. We have
the extra game. Uh, we have some weapons here we
can take advantage of. And Donald's just not doing it
(11:04):
for us. Matt corral will he will be the guy.
Do you have the biggest chance to start this year?
All right, Kenny Pickett will probably have a chance, but
he will most likely open up behind trabiski Um. And
if the if the Steelers can find a way forward
and win games, they're not just gonna make that move, right.
The Tomlins looking at Kenny Pickett has all right, maybe
(11:25):
he's our guy for the next fifteen years. They're not
gonna rush him in. As long as the Steelers are
winning and competing, They're not gonna make that move. It
will be a little bit more patient. Whereas the Panthers, Yeah,
they gotta push that button right because it's a much
different situation for the Pago Hey, we gotta find something, man,
and it's shamp donald sticks. We gotta we gotta make
a move. So, whether it's panic or whether it's a plan, yeah,
(11:46):
they will. They will be ready to get Matt Corral
in there by the early part, by the the end
of the first third of the season, he will there
book it. I like the chaos theory that you embrace here,
so I'll be excited if it were to come to fruition.
Look guy that can extend plays with his legs. Uh,
in just the the curiosity can they get some semblance
(12:09):
of just offensive consistency, because as soon as McCaffrey got hurt,
that was it. No, no disrespect that Cuba Hubbard, but
he's not the dynamic playmaker and not someone that defenses
have to uh focus on to that level and change
their scheme. So, um, look, I I would love to
see Sam succeed. Why because he's one of those guys
(12:33):
that's gotten an inordinate amount of hate, uh the last
twenty four months. It's not you know, just because he
got picked third by the Jets and the Jets didn't
know what they were doing at the time. That's not
his fault. Uh. I think there's a selecting him third.
(12:55):
I think there's no No, I'm not taking all of
it away from him, don't get wrong, No, Okay, alright,
know he's he's been awful, but you know, up until
the last twenty four hours, not really a lot of
confidence in what the Jets were laying down and even
now it's still all on paper. Just because you can
print out a virtual trading card right now, if a
(13:15):
guy named Sauce doesn't mean you've won anything. Oh, yeah, No,
we've won. We've won the draft. We've won the draft.
They've we've been declared winners of the draft. Do you
want to win April? We want yeah, because that maybe
the only month we can win. We might have been
able to win in October and November, December, so if
I can win in April, it's still now. Damn it.
It's a month just like any other month. It's a month.
April is no better note words than any other month.
(13:37):
Mike rmen, what you win the last three days of April. Yes,
we're gonna hang a banner. Hang that banner at MetLife.

(14:42):
He is here to tell us by just how many
points the Jets have won the draft by. It is
Jason Cole Jacoble what the Jets wit this by three touchdowns?
And when the draft four touchdowns and went by what
they went by and a half? Yeah, buddy, yeah, buddy,
forty two and a half? Yeah, sort of What is
(15:04):
the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is how they
measure how they measure the NFL Draft. M hm, April,
I want to be at Marinaro for a day. How
great was that? Just read the card Blues has never
(15:25):
been the same. So see, I just watching that stream.
Then I'm actually gonna look for it now, I haven't
seen that on television in a long time. Then between
that and Sipa Witz. I need those back in my life. Hey,
I was on that show at the end, and then
they gave me Beverly Hills Bunch, and then I played
(15:46):
another cap and then why pd Blue. They was played
cops for fifty bleep in years at Hollywood. Yeah. Well yeah,
and he made a whole lot of money in the
eighties and then everybody found that you couldn't actually act.
But never mind, dare you Wow, that's a hot take
on Are you talking about France or Eric? He was
just good looking. That's a smoking hotcake. Well I've been
(16:10):
accused of that many times on this show, but you know,
we persevere. I just wish more people. I just wish
more people knew who ed Marinaro was. We could have
a lot of fun with him. It's like Mario has
been famous. It's nineteen seventy five, it was it was
a rainback and then he was an actor. Uh, Jim Brown, Yeah, sorry,
(16:33):
I was gonna say, if you go down that second highway,
we got problems. What are the acting? He was in
Laverne and Shirley when they moved to California at the end,
remember when they Yeah, he was in that and uh yeah,
look I'm looking at the same Wikipedia page you are, okay,
trying to remember all of you know, I actually remember that.
I didn't need Wikipedia for that. I didn't from you
(16:55):
went to Wikipedia for that. I did ed Marinaro was
a Jets legend, Come on Lavern and Shirley. And then
he did like, um yeah, then the Hill Street Clues.
That was it. That was highlight. He was six years
of Hill Street Blues. That's that's pretty impressive. I gotta
give him back. That's not bad. And then we did
the Falcon Craft. He did some Dynasty. Um yeah, there's
(17:17):
there's quite a bit there. Okay, there you going then
and there's an extra South stage. He did pay Joey Butterfuco.
I had TV, damn it. I was TV before this
this network ever existed. That's what I am. I'm davy.
I define it. Garry Marshall from soap Dish, that's beautiful.
(17:41):
This is a difficult decision, but it's these decisions I
get paid one point sevellion dollars a year to make.
So here's what we're gonna do. Hypnotic. There's a nurse
in a restaurant that I miss a meeting. I don't
worry about it. We got it all right. So uh no,
seriously though, j Cole, I mean, really, the Jets at
what they go to fifteen and two, they improve with
(18:01):
the draft fourteen and three? Maybe how right here? Alright
and mark it up twenty and oh right here? You
know what, somewhere somebody believed what you just said. Yes, absolutely,
I mean you know, they get the wide receiver and
the cornerback lined up against each other every day in practice,
(18:24):
and see how much better to that team that makes
your team. It's just extraordinary. I don't know you. You
are you are completely silenced by the fact that that
I'm going along with your your dream. I am riding
a wave right now. Right we had the Jets won
(18:46):
the draft, The Mets had a no hitter tonight. This
this is this is it. This is my time. This
is a summer of Jason. It's a Sugill Taylor McGill
just going at it right. That's you're just five innings
of no hitter and then four pictures are fifteen and
six or something like that. That's right. Look at you,
all that Mets knowledge. Every sentence I'm going to say
(19:07):
for the next few days is going to end with
and all this without to Grob, whether it merits it
or not, Like, would you like extra butter on that steak? Yes?
I would in all of this without to Grob. Okay, great,
thank you. So it's gonna what is that great steakhouse
in the Bronx I'm trying to remember it is? Um yeah,
just where they put the butter on the steak at
(19:28):
the end. I mean it's not it's beyond. It's better
than Ruth Chris, I gotta so anyways, Yeah, now you
got him salivating. It's all over. But as far as
the draft over, yeah, he is definitely in a Homer
Simpson moment. There's this forbidden sandwich has written all over
(19:48):
his brain. That is exactly where he's at and he's
probably gonna dispatch someone from his house to go get
him a sandwich as we speak. So do you wanted
to draft for that sandwich? Hey? Jelly, definitely. Hey, whenever
you're ready, show you what you guys know, my wife
brought me back. I'm driving down for our della to
get the potato salad and the corn beef. Oh stop stop, dude,
(20:10):
you couldn't come to the super Bowl to see us
on stage when you were in town. Oh, I can't
make me drive across very downtown. I was, oh, sorry,
I can't come downtown. So I just didn't want to,
Like I didn't want to go through the parade of
homeless people downtown went. I came three thousand miles. I
can't go an extra four miles. Now, sorry, I can't
do that for you. There's four miles of homeless people.
(20:30):
And the way it was that you couldn't come see us,
you couldn't come see us. Now you're all right, all right,
I'm guilty. I admit it. Yes, And just so you know,
I already had big time Taco bell tonight. Man. So
I am winning. I am winning so much. I am
winning so much. Can I ask a football question? Now?
(20:52):
Do we need it to get? This? Is? This? Is it?
This is not the no mild sauce tacer sauces. Sauce
sauce very weak. Yeah uh oh well, so speaking of sauce,
just put a little bit of water, right, I mean,
what are we doing speaking of sauce. Let's get Jason
(21:13):
Cole's reaction to sauce gard Do you see what I
did there? See? I just drew you in and mentioned sauce,
and now, boom, I got you. I got lightning coming
out of my finger, hot sauce before you even glin
to sauce. Yeah, how is my way to get you?
Got got me because you were you were the fly
on the spider web before you knew where you were.
(21:34):
Oh hey, this is sticky right here? What's going on? Wait? Wait?
What is that? Oh? Oh I'm stuck man. And then
you realize sauce sauce. I'm I'm perplexed, and I mean, alright,
Sauce Gardener a great pick. I like the wide receiver
(21:55):
you upgraded at those positions. I like the Giants draft
when they went a defensive end and offensive. I like
Neil better than Thibodeaux. I think Tibodeau in New York
is potentially a headache um. But you know, the talent
is undeniable. I mean, there's gonna be the LT humps
right away, which is unfair because he's not LT. But
(22:17):
they will do that, and then he's going to talk
about branding in New York and that's gonna be over.
So of the four New York pick highest highest um
odds for failure definitely Thibodeaux off the charts. Um Sauce
comes in at a solid second on that one, and
then the wide receiver and Neil Um pretty much their
(22:41):
neck and neck for for the tie for third on
that one. Alright, So what did you make of the
wide receivers getting dealt and both quarterbacks Uh Rogers and
Lamar Jackson playing like they didn't know what was going
on even though the receivers are like, oh yeah, I
talked to Rogers. Is the most distant anyway? Was by far?
(23:01):
Because it's like, well, I wanted to be king of
Green Bay and I want to prove to you how
much more important I am than the general manager and
the head coach combined. And I want to be rich
beyond belief. You mean we don't have money left signed
Davante Adams. Oh, I mean he has to get paid
like that one. You know, like it's time for Aaron
(23:25):
Rodgers to stop bitching about anything that happens with that
team based on how he has acted this offseason, because
nothing he has done this offseason is built on winning. Now.
Last year, when he was upset with how they got
knocked out of the playoffs by Tampa Bay, and you know,
a poorly coached game, and presumably he was angry about
(23:49):
another poorly coached game by Floor in the playoffs this year, right,
and Flour deserves, you know, an endless amount of criticism
for how he has botched the last two playoff games
that the Packers have been at, no question about that.
If that was what it was about, Aaron Rodgers should
have taken a completely different path. But he took the
(24:10):
path of squashing Lafleur and Buda Kunst in this one
so that he could prove that he's the guy with
the big, swinging whatever um in this organization. And then
he comes back and he's surprised that they let Davante
Adams go. And then now he's going to take a
guy from you know, north North Bolivia state or wherever
(24:32):
the heck he's from, and that's going to be basically
your number one receiver, you know, like you're going to
take a guy who probably doesn't even speak English at
this point in time because he's been in Bolivia for
his entire life. And I mean, that's a it's a
global game, Jole, It was a global game. But you
have to learn how to speak English to run in
(24:54):
in Green Bay. That's just how it works, okay, or
at least you have to speak in cheese, something like cheese.
So it's you know, Aaron Rodgers like, I'm sorry, I
got no patience for that, Lamar Jackson. Um, it's time
for him to see the writing on the wall that
they ain't paying him because they're they're tired of catering
(25:18):
to him because he hasn't done the things that he
needs to do to improve as a quarterback in terms
of his passing game. So you know, they gave away
his best weapon or best buddy or whatever you want
to call, Hollywood Brown and look to get a first
round pick for Hollywood Brown. I give them all sorts
(25:38):
of credit. You know that was a steel And I
look at the Arizona Cardinals and go really, like you
watch Christian Kirk get overpaid by Jacksonville, and your answer
was to overpaying a trade for Hollywood Brown, Like you
thought that that was like balancing out the Ledger on
this one. So I just I just don't get it.
(26:01):
But Lamar Jackson, like, you better show up this year
and you better actually learn how to throw the ball,
or you're out because they're gonna go a year to
hear with you. They're not paying you are on a
long term deal. That is plainly obvious. What's going on
this offseason? Jason called our guest to Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon Live the Fox Sports Radio Studios. I mean,
(26:22):
people just turn on the dime, going, Wow, that was
some incredible analysis from a guy that really brought us
cowboy bees? Have you you kind of turn on a
dime on that, Jacoble? That was what I can do.
I'm so multitalented, it's ridaking us. Okay, I can do
cowboy Bees, I can do la Vernon. Surely I can
do actual football analysis. You know, challenge me, That's what
(26:43):
I'm asking. Just challenge me. Okay, I'll challenge this right here. Okay,
because what we talked about this a few minutes ago,
Desmond Rider goes to Carolina, Malik Willis gets drafted by
the Titans. Who's the first guy to start in the NFL?
Between the two of them? Between those two, yes, who
was the first guy to start? Because I think Corral
starts by week six. This is so boring, Like this
(27:11):
is just such a boring question, like we're gonna we're
gonna quarterback round quarterback, Like, none of these guys are
any good quarterback, even the guy pick it in the
first round, he's no good. He's Matt Hasselbeck number two.
I mean, and Matt Hasselbeck. I shouldn't say Matt Hasselbeck
had a very good career for what he was, right,
(27:32):
what six round draft pick? Um? You know, Petic going
to Pittsburgh is just an enormous gamble and a guy
who's just got mediocre talent and he's the best of
the completely mediocre lot. So okay, you want to estimate
who among a bunch of mediocre players are gonna be
the first one to start? Like which team is gonna
(27:52):
have its injury first? I mean, that's really what you're asking.
So let's go roll dice in in Vegas on and
played double odds on our table. That's all we're doing.
He is Pro Football Hall of Fame voter and official
quarterback hater. Jason Cole's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. Now,
if you had Malick Willis or Malik Seely, which one
(28:13):
would have a better jo? Oh? Come on, malikile st
John's legend. Too soon, man, too soon, Too soon? Too soon. Oh,
that's that's not too soon. Come on, it is, that's
not that's that's paying. That's an homage. J Cole is
always your guests would say the word homage and in
the same sentence in one right and and and nobody
(28:36):
would say cowboy bees and and all right, dude rotten.
I mean no, not many people would no. But that's
but that's how versatile I am. Yeah, versatility, eclectic. Yeah,
they're all those again, all of the quarterbacks in this draft,
like Jim Drucon Miller is looking at this going, I'm
better than all those guys. How great was it to
(28:58):
have his name come up a million times yesterday? It
was awesome. Everybody kept spelling it wrong because they kept
putting an end in, and you can hit you can
hit up. Jason was at Jason Cole sixty two. Also,
he will be You guys want to get out of
(29:19):
this conversation is so bad. So I want to tell
everybody that could be some lawsuit by Jim druck and
Miller against again. No, you're gonna have a Hill Street
Blues watch party, a streaming watch party. I want people
to be able to hit you up for details. I've
called up all that stuff on Netflix. I have a
queued up and ready to go right now, All right,
Jason Coles also going to give you his top ten
favorite Hill Street Blues characters on Twitter coming up in
(29:41):
about ten minutes. Right, and coffee he was he wasn't
Simpowitz and with different Okay, well he was caught. Marinara
was coffee, that was definitely true. Yes he was coffee.
Simple Witch was bunts. I said he was Beverly Hills buns.
Nanny was Sippowitz. You can't just talk about cops. You
don't know what you're talking about, and you don't do
(30:02):
the throwing the accent out. That's awesome, that's trying hard.
This is the guy who thought cowboy bes is a
funny bit to do on the radio. That's this guy.

Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My Bad is Fred,
Mike Armand live from the Fox Sports Radio studios, where
you know, just a little bit of of of this
(31:08):
story for a few minutes, we go back in the
NFL Draft coming up, but we watched today Trevor Bauer
gets suspended for two years by Major League Baseball UM
and and no credit for the time he has not
played in the last games. Uh it was a pretty
stunning suspension of Trevor Bauer, who has missed time of
(31:29):
course because of and this is the most severe punishment
handed out under the Sports Domestic Violence Policy uh AC
cues of sexual assault by a San Diego woman who
took consensuals rough sex too far over the course of
a couple of encounters last April and May. And you know,
when I see this story happen, there's so many different
reactions I have to it. Mike and and and the
(31:49):
and the one I see now is is just when
a story like this comes up, and here's a two
year suspense for Trevor Bauer, and invariably and inevitably it's
look at, why is to Shaun Watson still get to play?
Why does it? Why does he at twenty two women
accuse him of misconducting? He not only is he playing,
he got the biggest guaranteed contract in NFL history. Marcelo
(32:11):
Zuno was able to come right back and play in
Major League Baseball. These are all stories that are trending
over the course of the day. And while yes, none
of these stories are the same thing, they're all different.
They all come back to to to the to. The
one common route is that you know, I love sports, man,
I really do, right, I've been doing this for a living.
(32:31):
If I didn't love sports, I love sports my whole life.
You love sports your whole life. I love what they
represent for kids growing up and and to be able
to realize your dreams and play professionally. And there's it's
so much fun to talk about who's playing well and
who's not, and who's great and who sucks. I mean,
this is it's it's great sports is a great, great world,
but this more, you know, it just makes me sad
(32:52):
when I get all this reminder of how about many
times sports just biff stuff, and they screw stuff up
so much by getting cold feet on legal issues like
domestic violence or something where it gets outside of the
framework of what we're comfortable with. There's human issues that
sports still struggles with. And granted, sports still doesn't better
(33:12):
than than a lot of others do. But but moments
like this they just make me sad because I I realized, boy,
we could have done this better. We could have done
this a lot better. And now you know, here's Major
League Baseball making a strong stance on domestic violence, and
the reaction is going to be, oh, it wasn't done
for this, It wasn't done for here. It's not you know,
in a court of law, it hasn't been proven yet,
and it's trying to take a strong stance, and there's
(33:33):
so many things that still go wrong, And it makes
me sad when I think about stuff like this. Yeah,
I mean, it's you're you're trying to figure out what
the the next iteration is, right, because people bring up
old examples like, well, we learned, right, Roger Goodell's office
learns and and they're trying to figure out what they
are because remember back in the in the day with
tag Leabo, as long as you were out of a
(33:55):
jail cell and could stand up, they could put you
in a uniform and get on on a field, right. Uh.
And with Deshaun Watson, we may not see anything in
a courtroom for another year, al right, so all the
potential for a suspension for him may be still full
of further down the road. It's it's all about trying
to figure out where the transparency is the league's role
(34:16):
in adjudicating such In this particular case, I don't know
where's the line between domestic violence and an assault in
a lifestyle that everybody's trying to wrap their arms around
it and figure out exactly what's going on here. Right.
He had another accuser step forward today, so we'll see
where that goes. But as it came down today, you know,
(34:40):
it's you're you're still just trying to to get the
handle and a reminder that you know, we always talked
about it from the other side. Players are human, which
means they're gonna have mistakes too, Right, We have to
remember there's a lot of good in the players, but
there's gonna be a fraction, just like in society. That
aren't Fox Sports Radio that Jason spi the show with
