Well.
To begin this hour, once again, all our best thoughts to everybody fighting the big wildfire and Pacific Palisades that has now spread here where Mike and I live. You can see the smoke in the air, you can smell it. People have lost their homes. It's it's it's destroyed over three thousand acres. When you start to when I start to see all the neighborhoods are surrounding La trending Brentwood and Santa Monica and just how how close uh this fire is is it continues to get inland and not blowing out to see there is another second fire that has also started just outside of La Uh.
I don't know. I don't know how this goes. I don't know how this ends. But all are all.
Your best thoughts, all your best prayers to the firemen and people continuing to fight this fire and people trying to evacuate, to get out of the areas that are that are in danger. You see some of the videos on social media and it's just mind blow It looks like Mustaphar, you know, with your fire just to sitting in random places on a hillside everywhere and and you know, you know I say it, but really the wind is what is either your friend in a situation like this or it's really bad because you know, the winds in the past have have tended to do. You know, when wildfires like this happen, they get gets blown out to sea and okay, it's you know, then there's still devastation, but they're able to control it after a certain amount of time. That hasn't happened so far, and the fact that it keeps getting closer in and like I can't remember in twenty years, you know, wildfires continuing to get this far inland after they've started. It's incredibly windy. Do you see some of the videos out there on social media the wind just blowing everything around. It was windy all day to day. That certainly does not help because it is the windy season here in La So as we go on here and do our business of sports, all our thoughts, all our prayers, everyone fighting and dealing with the wildfires that that are just happening outside our windows.
Yeah, earlier today out just walking the dog.
I mean, you're avoiding getting hit by the palm fronds that were falling off. The winds just starting to really pick up at that point. But something that's really just taking this to the next level, the sobering thought. And obviously wherever you're listening, however you're listening, we appreciate you being part of the family. The call goes out, you know, as it eventually this all needs to be rebuilt, restored, and all those numbers will go out, so look into your hearts and wallets and all that stuff.
But they put out a.
General notice to anybody who's an active firefighter, recently retired, physically capable of performing duties of a fire person to call into a central number.
To talk about their availability.
That's how quickly this has spread and how overtaken some of these small cities are here in southern California.
So again, the Palisades fire has now become different fires. And again all our thoughts and prayers, I keep wanting to shout out Steve Guttenberg, who been acting in Hollywood now for the better part of forty years, Police Academy Cocoon, and and he he took it upon himself to move people's cars so so emergency vehicles could get down the roads and get to people and get to people who are trapped. And his interviews are just amazing. What did you tell me? He said, Hey, if you're to leave, leave your keys in the car.
So like it.
Well that's the thing.
Folks were kind of mocking it initially, but it's like, no, no, no, literally, he and some of his people in that neighborhood had decided, you know what, we'll stick around and help the firefighters and responders by getting these cars off the road.
Because otherwise you could find video of this.
They brought a bulldozer in to smash the hell out of those things. So yeah, Gudenberg was absolutely right and doing the great thing. And he puts up messages and positivity and he's you know, he's just a guy that is just known as one of the nice guys in Hollywood, and then here he is on the local newscast. Anybody that would would give him thirty seconds, that was his plea. If you're gonna abandon it because you need to get out of here fast, please leave the keys in the car so we can do the right thing and give these people a path to help fight this thing, because you see how quickly it escalated. I mean it's nine o'clock here Pacific time, and just over several hours. I mean we're talking about thirty thousand evacuations and city to city the way the wind is blowing, and we haven't even gotten the worst of the winds projected for tonight. But Gutenberg, you know, his name popping up. And yes, folks will may make their police academy and other references, but a guy truly trying to do some humanitarian and helpful things for his neighbors.
Great stuff, and we'll continue to monitor the story, of course and bring you any updates going on. Again, all your thoughts, all your thoughts and prayers to everybody dealing with this wildfire. But look our business here at sports and our businesses to take your mind off of things like this and talk about stuff like Man, I can't believe Chris Career and Mike Daniel still have jobs after today. But just really quick on the conversation we had a few minutes ago before you get to do it more from the NFL.
How I wanted everybody fired, No, it's you know, you know.
I talked about the mystery of how the Dolphins in a year went from a team on the cusp that anybody would love their roster to now they're a team starting over. And we got our answer, right, Tyreek Hill wants out for whatever reason, he's done, and we find out at the end of the year press conference today, Mike McDaniel says, yeah, guys relate to meetings all the time. There wasn't any discipline. Wait what Nope, didn't have any discipline on this team. And when they were asked, why did you not have a better backup quarterback. They said, we wanted to save money or we wanted to save our compensatory picks, So we didn't want to spend a lot of money on a backup quarterback, knowing full well that Tua gets hurt all the time and he's.
In and out of the lineup. No, no, no, no, we don't need to have a swat. You know. I come away from that, I go okay. Not only was my.
Question answered about how the Dolphins went from a dangerous, scary team to a team that.
Now they could be starting over.
I really I wonder how Chris Career and Mike McDaniel have jobs after today.
I mean, I'm glad.
That they you know, they fell on the sword and they said, look, this was our fault. But wow, what do you mean you had discipline issues? Like that's not outside of your control. That's something you specifically control as a head coach and a general manager. I got displaces. What do you want me to do? I'll address him in the offseason. You gotta dress them when they're happening.
Man.
And then we wanted to go cheap, so we didn't want to get a backup quarter don't you know. I mean, how do you not know how miserable life is in the NFL if you don't have a quarterback, just as the Jets who lost Aaron Rodgers after four plays last year and had to play Zach Willson. Ah, wait, we don't want that. That happened in your division. You saw that happen. Now we're good with Skyler Thompson. We don't want all you want to keep compensitory picks. We're the smartest guys in the room. Well, all you did was caught yourself a playoff spot because all you do was a better quarterback, a better backup quarterback, and you would have won at least one of those games that you lost. And guess what, you're in the playoffs and you're in there. I really after today, I go, well.
This should be more openings.
I don't know how Chris Career and Mike McDaniel have jobs in Miami after today.
It baffles me.
Well, what's still funny is the Jets had two more wins last year with Zach Wilson.
Yeah, the Jets.
Look, the Jets have more problems, and that this was just a way for a Jets problem to illustrate.
Don't let this happen Okay, I.
Just wanted to make sure I could come in with my I don't know, Harley Quinn sized mallet.
Yeah, and whack you upside that.
Don't let this happened to you. Yeah no, no, that's what this is.
So that's it.
But the Flores comments, and I'm sorry the Greer comments into the McDaniel comments are things that just leave you shaking your head. Like the McDaniel part of things, because he was dubbed the boy Wonder, right, he took over that mantle from McVeigh and from Shanahan and all those guys.
He was the new innovator.
And Tua had played last year, right, he got through the season and what did we say all off season? You can't bank on that happening again. Right now, that is the outlier for his career. And I hope that all the cool jiu jitsu moves and anything he made that was going to help him be a better defender of his body, mind and soul was going to work.
But I'm also a realist.
You get hit a lot in the National Football League, you know, because in addition to not spending money on the quarterback, really didn't do a lot for their offensive line either, so that meant he was going to be under duress. All of it spirals together bad discipline, and then you have Tyreek Hill raising his hand on what.
Am I doing here? Why am I wasting the best years of my life? Now?
He's a malcontent and a guy with a long history. Folks can hit the Wikipedia as they need to, but his talent when he is at his best undeniable.
But he just said the quiet part out loud.
And then Greer and McDaniels said, well, you know what, let's own this. So to their credit, they were dumb getting in front of microphones and giving us exactly the fewel behind to to amplify, uh what Hill had said, you know.
And and when I say, I don't know how they have jobs because this is like an unforgivable this is where I f I'm fine, Wait a minute, we had discipline issues all year and you couldn't fix them. But why would you bring like, yeah, why why was that public? Glad that they were transparent? Right, I'm always glad at transparency, but oh my goodness, like, how do you like, how do you how do you go on and say, yeah, we met these were self inflicted wounds right. That that's the stuff in the NFL that you can't get past. If guys get hurt, guys get hurt. Right if if if a free agent doesn't go right and you signed him you thought he would come into a big position. It really it happens. But these are things that are under your control. This is this is discipline and and and roster obtainment like this is this is the off season stuff.
This is on you.
This is stuff that's under your direct purview as a general manager and a edgar.
But look at what they're saying as a how do we turn this around? Well, we didn't have any discipline this year, and we let guys do what they want. As soon as we do that again, we're gonna be great.
See wait we did, wait till we do that, because that works in houses where you where you let kids, there's no discipline, and then see how it goes if you try to say, okay, now we're gonna be more disciplined.
Wait really seriously, yeah whatever, Let me know a good one, dad, I'll see you later.
I'm taking the car. I'm going to the corner to buy some cigarettes. I'll be back.
No no, no, no, no, no, yeah, now you're funny, Dad. I love you.
I'll see you later. All right, let's see you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I might be back late, like after two. But it's cool. It's all good. I'll make sure I don't smoke.
In the car. It's all good. Man Dory nororry Dad. I love your dad. Yeah.
Disciplinarian, disciplined dad, Yeah, disilin dad.
See you later. Yeah, how's that gonna work?
Not good for anybody involved, and certainly in a division where you have one team of stability, you've got three train wrecks all trying to see, you know, who's actually got the worst thing going and sitting around going it's trying to win the final brownie in this in the age that's seen in notting Hill, with the most pathetic story he can come up with, like, yeah, well here's our season.
We had no discipline like that.
You know.
The only reaction to this that is even somewhat passable like how do they have jobs?
Right?
And you brought it up a little bit last hour and he said, you know, how does Brian Dabel have a job.
How does Shane Steiken still have a job?
And you know, we got into it last hour that Hey, there's not a lot of great openings this year, and there's also not a lot of great candidates. So if you're an NFL team going, hey, if you're the Giants or the Colts, and you're like, hey, you know, we really need a change, we really do, man, we need to change, right, Okay, Shane Steiken has.
Been eh, but we were eight and nine. Richardson was hurt. Who are we bringing in that's better than him?
And there's not a lot of guys, so okay, Shane Styken gets keep his job. I mean, Brian Dable and Joe Shane, like, these guys were they were terrible. But who do you trust to come into New York and set up a culture and say we're getting back to the Giants winning ways.
There's nobody out there.
There's nobody, so hey, I'm bringing these guys back for another year.
All right.
It's it's some of them are gonna get really lucky, and a couple already have. And I think McDaniel might wind up being a guy that gets lucky. That's just Hey, there's nobody else out there that we know is better.
Right.
If there were guys out there that we knew we were gonna get that were better, then yeah, you know what, We'll fire our guy and go get somebody. But there's not a lot of great candidates out there. There's not a lot of guys who are sitting out for a year and are coming back, or a lot of great up and coming office corners. There's only one Ben Johnson out there. So when the when, when the the the guff is empty, you know, on on that? Uh, what are you gonna do?
All right? Well, boy, it's a really difficult decision. Do we do we.
Fire our guy? I don't really know about the guy we're bringing in one more year? What maybe one and you can convince your self that giving these these these personnel one more year can work for you, and you could talk yourself into it really really fast. Oh, I think the next year we'll get our quarterback in. Everything will be different for Brian Dable. We're outside of Daniel Jones is gone and everything else. We're seasoned away from from Saquon Barkley all with Greg. Right, Well, but we convince ourselves really fast that the guys we have are okay when the options are very very limited, because really, I don't know if there weren't better guys out there, really, I mean McDaniel and Greer both. Hey, thanks for your service, guys, but boy, you guys have really mismataged us. We're going to somebody else.
You can always go back to the old philosophy of do something even if it's wrong, because you know what you've got and it's not getting you there. So how do you rectify it? Do you run the same course? Right the devil? You know the devil you don't h McDaniel's shown aptitude and creativity in the past.
Maybe this is the coaching version of.
The quarterback that has They now have the tape on you and they caught up to you that you now have to go back into the lab and innovate.
Uh, and I don't know, maybe get disciplined again.
Exit al about a Fresco exit swollen down the Jason Smith Show with.
My best friend Mike Carmon.

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon Live from the Tirerack dot Com Studios and uh yeah, before we get back into the NFL, Bigger's Alts. Tonight in the NBA, we watched Trey Young hit a ridiculous this half court buzzer beater to beat the Jazz.
He yelled, next, you, I.
Just closed my eyes and pretend I'm playing at MSG. Ah, that's great. Thanks.
So at least it's not just the Knicks that Trey Young does this too. No, it's okay, I mean a twenty twenty game. Come on now, yeah.
Postgame quote right, Jason.
Big No, what did you say in post game?
I blocked out. I thought I was playing the next.
You know what?
The trade deadline? When Atlanta's always looking to trade Tray Young. I think this year maybe the Knicks. Hey, we'll give up five more first round picks. Now we're gonna stop.
Stop, We're not doing that.
Uh no, no, no, hey, hey, hey hey, big Modega will be just fine.
Okay, don't He'll be.
Just Can you imagine the Big Modega's career in Atlanta. I'mbout that he's a diminished asset now, oh with.
Her stop, he's the MVP of the league right now. He missed last night's game because his knee was sore. Admittedly that doesn't sound great out of my mouth, but he's okay, he's fun.
Are you sure about that fun?
Yes? If you know who he's better than the Lakers, that's for sure.
So you're saying he could beat the Lakers.
Oh? Probably? Yet well, actually tonight they could.
They rotate defensively like they were for chunks tonight.
Talks about tonight. This is as embarrassing as a gay. This is why whenever you hear they're any sort of momentum behind the Lakers and how good they could be and oh maybe JJ Reddick is figuring it out and Lebron is playing so well in a d and the latest lineup, the configuration is awesome and it's what they've been waiting for all year long. They come up with a night like tonight that makes you realize, Okay, the Lakers are just one of many teams in the West, right. They go in and they lose in Dallas one eighteen to ninety seven. Okay, losing in Dallas, all right, Losing by twenty not great. Losing by twenty to a Mavericks team that was playing G league guys is really embarrassing.
And I they'm not quite league guys.
But no Kyrie, no Luka, Doncic, and you lost the Mavericks by twenty three.
Dirk didn't miss from three though.
Dirk was terrific tonight.
He was outsider.
Rolando Blackman was great at Saw. You had five steals tonight. He was terrific. I mean, it's it's embarrassing that a Mavericks team that is just about a five hundred ish team this year and now without their two best players, including a top three player in the league, the Lakers can't win.
They can't win this game. And this is why anytime you get.
Excited about the Lake that I go back, all your excitement needs to be watered down.
Every bit of excitement is tepid. Everything only goes up to a certain number of degrees.
You don't get to Hey, it's we're burning hot the Lakers one hundred and ten degrees.
No, no, no, Lakers are at a nice sixty degree thing. Hey, we're a little warm.
Ah, we're gonna get a little chilly tonight lows down in the forties. But okay, no, no, no, the Lakers are tippid. They are that, they are lukewarm. They're a team that will look really good for a couple of games, and they have you convinced that things are awesome, and then you get Knights like tonight, where you realize, oh wow, how do you lose by twenty three to Dinwiddie and Washington and seventy four year old Klay Thompson and Quinton Grimes off the bench of a near triple.
DA Grimey, how do you lose? Like? How do you lose to this team?
Hey? Quenton Rhymes was six and eleven? You know why no clothes out in the corner. He just waved at She said, come on, at least pretend to play defense on it.
I don't know how you lose this game.
I lose this game this badly to this collection of players, or Dallas is throwing guys out there honestly saying maybe we're competitive. Who knows, le's it's another game. We're staying afloat till the guys get back. Oh hey, oh we happen to win, all right, that's awesome.
Boy.
Luckily it was the Lakers who show you that. Yeah, we get underachieve just as good as anybody else. It's almost like the Lakers want you to feel, Hey, we're unpredictable.
You can't predict us.
Just you think we're gonna win like three four in a row, We'll give you a night like tonight where we have no business losing this game, and not only will we lose it, we'll lose it by twenty three to make you really think twice about it.
Came into the game did the Mavericks, losers of five straight, six of their last seven. The only win in that stretch was against the Phoenix Suns and nine point victory. Otherwise, losses to Minnesota, who we've seen have heroics from Edwards.
And be on the losing end of things. Portland. I don't need to say anything more than.
That, Sacramento, the plucky Houston Rockets, and well Cleveland, which we know Cleveland is really good ty shirt that we know in basketball, and we.
Can't call for it.
He's not gonna play it. No, I'm not gonna play the called for you were calling for it. He's not gonna play it, you know, Tysher.
No, I just wanted the acknowledgment of the greatness of Cleveland in that moment between that and Miles Garrett, given that guy who said, Hey, I'm a nobody.
See there it is.
He's not gonna do it out there. He did because he don't know why he did it. He usually doesn't do it in situations.
I don't know. Maybe Tycher's having a weird night.
Oh maybe it's just you.
You know what, You're right, it could be me.
It could absolutely be Now let's get back to a big story out of the NFL. On Black Tuesday, right, we saw another head coach fired today, but there will be no Mike McCarthy for the Chicago Bears. One day after, the Bears said hey, Jerry Jones, you want to talk to Mike McCarthy about maybe being our head coach, you know, since his contract lapses in a week and you really don't know what you want to do. We want to talk to the guy, and the Cowboys today said oh no, no, no, permission to talk to Mike McCarthy. This is I am so embarrassed from McCarthy on this, Like I want him to say no, you know what, Jerry, screw you.
The Bears want me.
I'm going there now as long as the Bears are going to hire him, right, I'm leaving because clearly you don't believe in me.
You're only waiting.
To see if you can get something better than me, or what kind of commodity I am on the open market. And because if you really like Mike McCarthy, you would have extended him, you would have figured something out here. You are, what six days till his contract ends, and and and and you don't know what's gonna happen. I mean, come on, man, this is this is this is quintessential Jerry Jones going. Oh, I'm just showing you the power I have. I don't believe in the head coach, but if other teams want him, boy, he must be good. So I'm gonna keep him because if you really thought he was good, we wouldn't be in this situation. I know the Cowboys had a down year, but Mike McCarthy's a hell of a coach, being able to succeed in in that controlled chaos that is Dallas and outside of this year, get to the playoffs, win twelve games, it's not his fault. Dak Prescott sucks in the playoffs, right, you want to put those blame. It's not Mike McCarthy's fault. Dak Prescott is terrible in the playoffs. He's a good coach. He's a really good coach, and and if he was free, he would be at the top of most sought after coaches with Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel. And now the only reason the Cowboys sitting here saying no is because, oh, hey, we're not gonna get somebody that I really thought might be a difference maker and take our team to the next level. That guy's not out there. Oh now we want to hold on to Mike McCarthy. It just it's smacks of like high school stuff where if you're dating somebody and and you don't know how, I don't know do you want to go public with this relationship? I don't know how cool is the other person? I'm not really sure. And then you find out, oh hey, everybody else thinks that person is great and they want a date and you're like, oh.
No, no, we're dating. No, No, I love her. I love her, she's great. Do I love her?
You only like her because other people are interested in her. You really didn't think that about her until other people are like, are you kidding?
Man? Are you kidding? She's awesome? You should day.
She's hot, she's smart, she's funny, she's all of these tail you.
Oh, I don't know. That's Jerry Jones right now.
So I wish Mike McCarthy would have the guts to say, you know what, take a leap. I'm leaving, get me permission, I'm going to the Bears, and then I say you're gonna hire me right because I really can't go back to Dallas after this, But okay, great. I wish he would do that and drop the whole. I'd really want to stay coach of the Cowboys. It's obvious that is a one way street and it does not exist to both ways. And the only reason you are where you are and may get a contract extension now is because Jerry Jones sees that you're valued by other teams. Wish he had the guts to say, Jerry, takeoff, I'm going to Chicago well, which goes.
To Steven and anybody that is in the ring of advisors, whether it's Billy, Bob Thornton on the set of Landman or anybody else to advise him that he did have a coach that in this hiring cycle, in any hiring cycle, is still going to be a desirable, desirable coach. He's a big commodity in this space. Yes, it's been a while since that Super Bowl win, but twelve wins three straight seasons. Last year a defensive no show. Hell, dan Quinn still got a head coaching job out of it. Now, Look what, he's a celebrated man in Washington, you know, in the division. But it goes down to the can you wait? Is Mike McCarthy willing to wait it out? Fearing that when the game of musical Chairs finishes there's still a seat for him to go into. And again, as we ranked these six teams that are out there with openings that if you tepidly, the word of the day is this where we're supposed to scream like we're on Peewee's playhouse or something. The word of the day tepit that the Bears are in that one seed in terms of you know, high status. So all of that from Mike McCarthy, you got to decide do you want to let the contract lapse? Or does Jerry now realize and maybe this was the wake up call because while we've heard that the Bears put out for the opportunity to interview McCarthy. They can't be alone, right, they can't be alone because not everybody thinks they're getting vable or you know Ben Johnson going out of Detroit. All right, that's only two those guys are not being cloned. This is not the substance or any other derivative movie kind of title. Right now, there's two guys and there are six jobs, So that would mean to me someone else would have placed a phone call at some point.
Remember we had the Jake Laser report on Sunday about hey, the Vikings have an extended Kevin O'Connell. He's a great head coach, and teams are calling saying, hey, is he available for trade.
Day to talk about get getting ready for the playoffs? And Kevin O'Connell's got to say, I want to be here. You know we're gonna work it out.
But weird, right, why are you waiting until the last day of the contract to finish this? Like, what what are you going to get out of this in terms of the process. During the middle of this season. As soon as things were going right and you demonstrated that you could win with Sam Sam Sam, that should have been the end of it. Here's your extension. Let's move on. Let's not let this drag out, because now you're in that uncomfortable space right of where where you are and how much he loves it, and some of that might just be coach speak at this point, because I gotta think he's pretty salty given the way his team is performed.
Exit out about a Fresca exit Swollen Dow and the Jason smithser with Mike Harmon live from the Tirack dot Com Studio. Have that guts, Mike McCarthy, Hey Spider, Hey Spider, you got a lot of gut, Spider, have that guts? Half that guts, Mike McCarthy, please do it. UH time now to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports, from special Delivery Steve to sagare ESD What do you got for us?

Robert Sala has obtained his first head coaching interview. He will be interviewed by the Jacksonville Jaguars to be their next head caw.
He certainly won't have enough juice to force out Balky No said, let's bring this guy in.
Yeah, uh yeah, because that's who you want on a team that struggle with a quarterback to maintain any sort of consistently. Yeah, and to be a superstar. You want Robert Sala, who knows nothing about offense.
That's the guy you want to come in and run you know what, You'll get some discipline, not because it is discipline of running the stairs.
That's the guy. Yeah, brush the hey you'll get.
Your team will brush their teeth and they will run the stairs right, and they'll probably play pretty good defense.
He's gonna cut everybody.
You have to sign about twelve defensive linemen and yeah, but good luck as Trevor Lawrence is still good to stink because.
He knows nothing about offense. So there you go. There's the Jaguars for you. Yeah, that's a you want, That's what you want.

The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmono, Live Fromthetirac dot com studios. And needing a bit of extra dose is your fun tonight? We have a new game.
Now. Yes, as the week.
Gets on, we'll be talking more about the playoff games. And we got the college football playoff games coming up on Thursday and Friday. But right now it's the end of the season. Everybody's doing their end of season interviews. So we have a game, a game that I like to call NFL Exit Interview twenty four. I'm going to say something that a star or coach might say in their exit interview before they leave for the offseason, and you tell me who that person is.
Playing the game myself, Mike Harmon.
Let's go Special Delivery, Steve de Sager justin Frostburg, and Alex Tyshert.
Are you ready?
Cavalcade of Stars, Let's go.
Come on now, I'm going to read in its entirety. Then I'll say who am I? And then you guys try to give me your guests as to who I'm talking.
About, buzz until you shut up.
Exactly. Very good, very very good, guys. Everything is great. I'm getting paid a lot of money.
There's never any real pressure to win because no one ever thinks we're gonna.
Win, So I'm really happy.
Aaron Rodgers, I stop.
None of these are Aaron Rodgers, just so you know, none of it's too easy. None of them are Aaron Rodgers, the Lasers man.
None of them got for the drones.
I know I wasn't number one overall picking. You expect more consistency of me, but I'll keep bringing that. Except it's this kind of consistency every year, all kind of tantalize you that this is the year I'm gonna put it all together because of all my physical skills. I'll give you a glimpse now and then, but this is really who I am.
Oh, definitely Aaron Rodgers.
You are not gonna have to worry about expecting anything more because I'm gonna give you games where I look really good. Then I'm gonna be invisible, and we're gonna win anywhere from five to eight games. I'm getting paid. Life is great.
Let's go. Who am I?
Trevor Lawrence, No, not Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Rodgers, Karon.
Rodger, because you said five to eight wins.
In other words, I'm overestimated.
Number one.
It's John Stamos, which is not.
Just saw a commercial with John. It is not John Stamos.
John Stamos has overachieved in his acting career.
Oh, by the way, he's a wizard.
He is completely overachieved.
He's going to be at Beach Life this year with the Beach Boys. Let's go, Jason. Everything you read is accurate to be Aaron Rodgers.
It's not Aaron right, he wasn't a number one overall pick. There was at number one overall pick. Windo's out the window.
Out the window. Remember, a team that's never expected to win.
Physical skills never really translates, no pressure to ever win.
Derek Car Am I not Derek Carr.
You already had Caleb Williams last hour.
Yeah, it is not Caleb Williams. This is a tough one. I think it wouldn't be that tough. James Winston, it is not jameis winning.
I was thinking Bryce Young until the physical skills comment.
You know why you're not thinking of him is because, like his in his exit interview, no one ever expects them to do anything.
They are so far off the map. It doesn't matter.
That's why you're not thinking of him.
Hell else we got Aaron Rodgers's.
You guys give up?
Oh, Kyler Murray.
Yes, I am Kyler Murray. Steve had to get to the outpost of the NFL. He actually had a pretty good year. He had to get to the HAWF of the NFL to make sure that that was where it's at.
I am Kyler Murray.
All right, hey, I'll be the first to tell you I had a great year, legendary, and it was my first year in the NFL.
But now here's the deal. Get me out of here. You gotta get me out of here.
We don't have a head coach, we don't have a quarterback, we don't have any running backs. Everyone else in the division is better than we are, and don't try to sell me on. I do sell a lot of Team Merch on the West Coast. That's not enough for me to stay. Who am I Rock Powers? Yes, I am Rock Power's very good. Mike Harbon very good.
I went to them as soon as he said Merch, Yeah, Merch, yeah yeah.
I started thinking about the Big Raider image store.
You know, you know, Brock, just think about all the jerseys were something of your.
Name bought the It's one of the few times you pull a Raider from a pack of cards and you're not you're saying, oh okay, cool, this is It's not Bo Jackson, but this one will work.
Why do I have five Gardner minshoes exactly Antonio Pierce had some of that merch.
By the way, still he does some sweet looking merch too.
So this is NFL like an interview. Who am I?
These are star players or coaches what they would be saying in their end of the year exit interview. Wait, seriously, I get to stay. You're not punking me? Wait and you get to stay too?
Definitely, Aaron Rodgers?
How the hell do we pull this off? We stunk and have no direction, I mean, no joke. I don't have to fight and make an unreasonable argument. Why don't deserve to be fired?
This is awesome.
Let's go have lunch, guys, I got this?
Who am I?
Aaron Rodgers?
It's not it's actually anybody in New York Giants man Shane's kid. It is here close Steve to Sayer, Who is it stable? Everybody?
Yes, I am bridy table. There you go. I get to stay.
Really, whoever's behind during number three?
I thought for sure that was gonna happen.
Uh okay, guys, Look, I've gone out of my way to make sure everyone really likes me, and they do, except when the topic of should we pay this guy comes up? And then suddenly I'm JaMarcus Russell. As long as we have Pro Bowl players at literally every offensive position, I'll be fine, not great, not unbelievable, but I'll be fine and functional.
And you can give me fifty million dollars a year next year. Who am I Brock Party? I am Brock perse Barack Obama. It was not Barack Obama.
No, it's not, and it was any time I can bring the wise man into the discussion, we've won.
It was not John Stamus either.
That is a magic Johnson tweet.
Hear go last one? You guys ready, h come on, Aaron Rodgers, it's not. I think the direction of the football team can be great. It can also be bad, and that really depends on me. I think I've shown glimpses that I'm so physically gifted. You'll want to overpay me because you're drafted me really high. Just ignore the fact that fundamentally I really have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm gonna throw the football to the other team just as much i will to my own, and that's not gonna change. Oh and I'll get hurt a bunch too, but I'll side of that. Let's go twenty twenty five that could be any number of guys.
Derek Carror, Jamis Winston, DeShawn Watson, who, Andre Hopkins.
You drafted me really high? Not really good? Fundamentally, turn the ball over a lot. We'll also get hurt.
Not the auditor. No, not to talk about low.
Oh, David Carr Not David Carr.
Doesn't play anymore, Derek Carr, No.
No, no, something about a Southern.
If I said the tight shirt, which car is playing, David or Derek he's.
To get that role?
He would say Toyota.
Yes.
I would also say neither. Trevor Lawrence.
Now I'm not Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Rodgers, I'm.
Tom Brady.
I'll tell you Frostburg's comedic timing is pretty good.
Yeah, you are.
The marvelous missus Masle of this show. You guys give up? Yes, I am okay, all right, Steve.
I know this. You know this too well.
Yes, I've heard of all the guys that we've mentioned in this game.
Yes, I probably do know this. It's that one tight end from uh the.
Vikings, Tjes, t J.
Hawkins and coming in.
I am Anthony Richardson. Should have got a rich should.
Have got initials right, it's true.
It is so. Say more time, Say one more time. Aaron Rodgers, Yes, it is Aaron Rodgers. More from the NFL. Next, this is fa
