Love from Southern California please each of the few moon show on c.b.s. Who. Live in Southern California from the Quicken Loan studios I am Jim Rome Welcome to the program Quicken Loans apply simply understand fully and mortgage confidently nice to have you on this Thursday what's going on Welcome to the program hope you have a good day got a very good show for you today subways talents get out this thing be sure you lock in listeners long as you can participate take a shot or you're free smoker Let's get some 180-063-6868 extension 6 our 1st interview is not until 40 past our number one so you can get through right now no waiting no waiting at all I will break the format wide open I would take a telephone call in the 1st segment for the right telephone call 180-063-6868 extension 6 Follow me on Twitter please Edgerrin Rome if you're not on Twitter by now you should be I would imagine anybody who is going to be is by now but if you're not you should be hit me up on Twitter at Jim Rome e-mail me to Romario at me at habitate dot com Coming up at 40 past the head football coach at Oregon State Jonathan Smith top of our number 2 cards pitcher Jack Flaherty top of our number 3 Rockies manager Bud block. Get some good interviews for you Wisco Packer fan let me start with you for instance if there was hype and there was excitement surrounding the Odell Beckham Jr contract that was still nothing compared to the build up to the new Aaron Rodgers contract the reason I say that Beckham was hoping to smash records for wide receivers Rodgers though had a chance to break records for every single football player and he did not disappoint former teammate James Jones had the news 1st and risk of turning this into some sort of b.c. Moment here are the deets signing bonus 57 and a half mil that breaks Matthew Stafford's record according to p.f.c. The base value of that contract is $176.00 mil over 6 years that's an average of just under $30000000.00 per year a new Money average of $33.00 and a half mil both of those are records. Now in terms of the contract as always when somebody signs a new contract there are a couple of competing ideas number one it's really none of our business right it's none of our business and number 2 is he worth the money is you worth that contract and the answer to the 1st is yeah it really is none of our business what he makes on the other hand contracts had become news so it's going to the chase Hell yes he's worth it hell yes he's worth it and after turning this into c.n. B.c. I'm not going to go on a stat head on you and run down Aaron's numbers because you don't need numbers to see this guy's greatness you need eyeballs that's it I don't have to run down his red zone efficiency or his spin rate or his adjusted net yards per passage tamped because several times every single year you see something that he does that you have never seen before the Hail Marys the past against Cowboys the passes where is feet are not set the passes where he's off balance but somehow still on balance the impossible just isn't possible with Rodgers it's actually the normal It's expected you tell me quick what's the most exciting play in the n.f.l. Kickoff returns no pot returns note the correct answer is when Roger is in everybody gets the defense to jump offsides and then he gets a free play because you know he's going to take a chance you know he's going to air it out and you know he's going to make some defensive back look really stupid I mean for all the excitement. About patching the homes in his arm and the excitement is justifiable Rodgers has been firing his arm cannon for years and the guy makes it look easy every single time we put it another way is there anybody who means more to their team and their franchise than Aaron Rodgers I'm sure Tom Brady is having the greatest career that quarterbacks ever had and Brady's got the chance to keep adding to that but you can't tell me that Tom Brady means more of the Patriots than Aaron Rodgers does the Packers as an example when Brady went down the Patriots still one with Matt Cassel when Rogers goes down the Packers don't win held their enemy compete Aaron Rodgers is the Packers and this is not to say that they go as he goes hell he carries them wherever they go when they win it's because of him and frequently despite a bunch of other things. So how do you celebrate deal like that how do you celebrate the biggest deal ever and I understand it's not always going to be like that in fact it might not be the biggest deal for very long but it is right now so how do you celebrate a deal like that by rolling in money note by rolling in denim into the Packers Welcome back lunch in that's right Aaron Rodgers went full Canadian tuxedo However that was the single greatest Canadian tuxedo ever one that was modeled off of a being Crosby tux jacket from back in 1951 and incredible luck that right there if you're watching on c.b.s. Sports Network is the damn truth and here's another damn truth Yes Aaron Rodgers is worth this contract and he still under paid Yeah I said it in a true free market you know like the one that most of us work in when employer can pay you anything and where there is no salary cap Rogers would make more than $30000000.00 per year he makes 40 maybe 50 maybe even more than that because that's how much he means to an organization if it were Jerry Jones or Stephen Ross who could write a check for whatever they wanted to get Rogers where would they stop I guarantee it would not be a 30 mill I know that Wisco Wisco what's cracking Wisco nothing would make me happier than to give a smoker to a Packers fan just in time for a Sunday tailgate with broths and cheese curds Packers fan if there was ever a time to use the national platform to talk about your guy this is the time hit me up 180636868618006368686 also if you don't do that meant some out of sweet hit me at Jim Rome email me in Rome or o.m.b. I have take dot com When you want talk about I had. Start there all right other things to get to today Michael Kendricks we touched on it yesterday because the news broke during the show but now we have more details as a wild story wild story Mychal Kendricks the Browns insider trading cheesecakes and no that's not the civil worst game of Mad Libs ever that's exactly how that went down I mean one thing for this guy to get picked up for insider trading one thing for this guy to apologize for pretty quickly and now we know why but quite another for the team to break him off and cut him as quickly as it did. Listen I'm not defending this guy in any way I'm not even empathize with this guy in any way he knew what he was doing he may say that he trusted his investment visor trusted him because of the from that he worked for and the fact that he was Harvard educated but he also did say I knew what I was doing was wrong so I'm not defending that he was wrong what he did is a bad thing but bad enough to get cut that quickly look around the n.f.l. Look at the number of chances that other guys get some for violent crimes and this guy gets broken off or a white collar crime like that fun I kind of curious will get into it and especially the part about all the cheesecake money and some of the code words they had for each other to Bridgwater. Sam darn old Joe we freshwater Joseph is a part of this story and you know how that for its hero and I can't believe I'm about to say what I'm about to say but the Jets made a good decision involving the quarterbacks how the hell is now possible the Jets did the right thing with the quarterbacks I never thought that I would say that they did the right thing with their quarterbacks giving the job to Sam Garland week one right thing he's reading I like that dealing Teddy Bridgewater and getting a 3rd round pick in exchange I like diving. At the it's like a win win win except on some level for Bridgewater who obviously is going to start and now he's going to almost to the worst place imaginable if he does want to start he's got back a Hall of Famer who is always out there now that said if for some reason to Brees cause a day at the end of the year and this guy is the heir apparent then it's brilliant it's good for him it's good for them either way it's a pretty high premium to pay for insurance policy given his guy can become a free agent once again but maybe he doesn't leave so lots of different layers to that story which I want to get to and it's more things are kind of off the board such as wild story and Deadspin a dog sitting story but it involves in a limb pick athlete so it does work here wild story little bit off the board but I'll hit that little bit later on also you clones or utterly hilarious just ask you nobody likes you more than you like you nobody likes your content more than you like your content. And nobody thinks that all of that is more predictable than yours truly again I know what you're thinking before you think it I know what you're going to send me before you send it I know what you're going to come out before you thumb it out. Namely a story that you think involved I re Kreg but didn't. I'm on to you clones. Dear Rome being a long time Packer fan I love this contract he is the best quarterback in the league although Brady in any given year may have better numbers it comes down to this he can make throws that nobody else can nick in Appleton war Rogers amazing throw to Jared Cook against the Dallas cowgirls you know soften the war that's pretty much what I'm saying Brady is had the best career that quarterbacks ever had and he can still add to it Brady is amazing amazing but Aaron Rodgers does things the Brady can't do Aaron Rodgers does things that nobody can do Aaron Rodgers is the most talented quarterback I've ever seen nobody can spin it like this guy he's the best quarterback in the game he deserves the best contract in the game and if you get a problem with that don't worry because in a few months it won't be the best contract in the game the best quarterback in the game deserves the best contract in the game nobody means more of their team than Aaron Rodgers I love that deal. I love it for him I love it for them him Packer fans are so hyped that they'll add an additional layer of fabric to their snow coats so they won't need to get up during games signed a Bill Plaschke you know why the people here consider the games old. Plus how do the people of Green Bay sit through Packer football after sitting in a branch for 6 hours waiting for a deer to run underneath a branch you can see in the stands after sitting on it she was trying to kill it original go with us be careful who I was how many people here have ever tried to kill a sturgeon with a spear I thought I wanted oh yeah Digital of who in the hell of trying to kill a 3rd to the spare. It is true. They sit on ice they sit on ice and they watch for the fish then they stick that spirit out onto the I think of the fish bowl which I was and all who don't want anything to do a Packer game for the record that was one of my favorite moments in my entire career one of my favorite moments of my entire career and that sound so good that could've happened yesterday most you know Bill Plaschke now because you've seen money s.p.n. For a number of years back then you did not know him in less you listen to the show or you read the Times nationally he didn't have the kind of profile that he has right now that was 1997 January of 97 I was in Green Bay for tours stop and appearance and I was there for the n.f.c. Championship game the Packers and Carolina Plaschke he was there covering that game as well I had him into a bar where I did the show live and he took on the entire bar now it's more than 20 years ago that happened 20 days ago and it was sound of awesome. Who they may not have known plasticky then but they want to kill him that day. One of my favorite moments that was so fun dear James hopefully Aaron Rodgers will be wealthy enough to buy his own smoker and will not have to humiliate himself or one like Jeff in Richmond son Casey New Hampshire and war yesterday's hack off between Jeff and Matt now lay I like or it was like watching last place teams do in September when I suggest Richmond finally came in yesterday he Mistry for what's already called a shot he was going to be in the smack off and then he called that David did not make it on air so that was disappointing he showed up yesterday to rip the free smoker and he cracked maternelle a few times then that Nellie called to crack him back I would say that was a hack off a mini hack off the Brokaw broke out but I think that is fair I mean Jeff unwritten what's he known for he's known for calling the show in talking about how rich he is talking about how gigantic his mansion is talking about the acreage e o. Nce talking about his luxury sled talking about his 18 inch pipes talking about all the Armani he has in the closet in talking about his rocket wife on his arm money and was working awfully hard for a free smoker but he got it and that makes 8 of given 8 master both smokers away in the last 8 days of the last 8 shows Number 9 is today and we get some who wants it. Romy. Sound the 5 all on that the best player in the game got exactly what he deserves Roger's Denham soon probably even caught David August's I know a cop mine. Sincerely Sandy Duncan. Nikki a very happy cheesehead Nikki. A lady clone. Went with a Sandy Duncan blast Nicky you did not oh no you didn't Nicky war lady called No definitely don't war the lady clones a Sandy Duncan blast quote Rogers Denham suit probably even caught David August I know a cop mine Sandy Dunkin. And Nicky I expect f m clones just now you I am shocked I'm shocked and disappointed Nicky. Nicky not cool. Anyway partly my fault because I did say Wisco Where are you today's the day to call you get your guy he's going to end his career there he's got that contract and now with that contract at his age with that contract and still playing a really high level but now it's now or never now it's ring or bust now they're all in never been a greater sense of urgency now and would say to you Come on now you know you think I am I've got that same sense of urgency every single year I get that I know that but they've got to surround this guy with the help he needs yet so that's why I don't buy this whole thing about hey Rome how can be the best he's only got one ring right look around him look at what they've surrounded him with over the years the fact that he's been gotten where he's gotten with what he's had to work with is a miracle. For my money the best in the game therefore he deserves the best contract in the game and he's still playing at a very high level and he's never had a greater sense of urgency I love that contract All right we're open phones right now Jonathan Smith head football coach at Oregon State at 40 past hopefully a good phone call or 2 next segment.

Especially going to a 3 day weekend you want that thing but you have to earn that thing you have to win that thing Jack flirty cardless pitcher top of our number to body block top of our number 3 what's do it got to give this thing away gotta find a way to make this show better I hope this guy can do it tanner in St Augustine hates and what's up are you. Durham thank you thank you for the vine and hawks thank you as well you know waiting on a call to you for a chance to get on the air of kind of like sitting on ice and Green Bay waiting for that sturgeon to swim by You've got to be patient you can feel me plasticky and this far as the Master Bill goes I'm not exactly sure how to compete with the likes of Andy and Rockland credible content or especially Jeff in Richmond unless I'm ready to totally ruin my vocal chords with a bunch of lame celebrity person ations want to spend has me jam I just have a couple quick takes going to try not to suck like Baylor 1st off Jerry Jones Listen I know you bought your way into the Hall of Fame for the last time please just leave football alone the only winter science in your player safety proposal of 18 games whether you want to admit it or not is the work you had done in your grill I know the clones like you a lot better back in the day when all you did was post that h.b.o. Series Tales From The Crypt but personally I thought your best work was when you toward was just done up I hear you and I was funny bit like a circus you wanted dollars And Jim you know Congrats on the podcast anniversary now that's good content phones if you haven't already you must give it a listen the king of the podcast I want to take this opportunity if I can to take a quick swing at some of the lower and jungle fruit Yes. I don't know. Probably wondering why it took me so long to get ready Tanner all right in the interest of being fully transparent. He had a parody allegedly that he promised he'd get to and I want to hear the parody I had high expectations for that parody but if I had to wait for him to get that parody he would have blown right through the next segment Ok I wasn't getting anywhere nor saying anything it Tanner again as always it's going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you but dude you're bringing me down that's not making the show better that is not making this show better you recycling things I've already said speaking as slowly as possible not really getting anywhere at all come on you're going to ask yourself this if you were listening to a phone call would you like it before you make a phone call to the program Ask yourself this do the call to yourself do it to the mirror do it in your own head to it to a family member do it to a friend do it to somebody you trust if you don't know do it to somebody you trust who will not tell you what you want to hear but rather what you need to hear and ask yourself if somebody else did that phone call would be good what I like it or I be waiting for Rome to hammer that person like who's going to like that and the only reason I let that go as long as I did it was because this cat had a parody that he said was awesome and I want to get to it and then I didn't even get to that come on do better be better or don't call the only reason I'm coming down on you right now is I'm trying to keep the callers involved in the program I want to be a part of it but understand I've got takes lots and lots of takes lots and lots of thoughts I don't have to have the cos he noticed that he never noticed I never bust out here with cause Cause Cause nobody takes more cause the fact is nobody takes fewer calls but I want to make sure I do take calls so do better be better step it up bring me something make this show better game and if he can't that's fine. Just tell not a tweet send me an e-mail or do nothing but listen that's Ok too I will do all the work if you can't make it better don't you see the problem this is you might save yourself a room you don't have to take those cos you're right I don't but the problem is I'm trusting Hoch to screen the calls out I don't run that kid out of the bus but he's still trying to figure out what's good call or what's not. 8 show a call to this show might be a terrible call here but a good cause somewhere else the bar is high the standards high gain less 6 tweets Tanner should have sent you a smoker after that call. Listen . If Tanner sent me a smoker right in Del us got a pretty good point however if you all had to send me a smoker after every bad call there are not there are not enough smokers on this planet to make that work now what a great deal that would be there is not enough real estate in California for me to house all those smokers.

Back we're talking Oregon State football in about 10 seconds and reason I say that is as want to go is the fact that Tanner the guy just called he's taking some and by taking some what I mean is he's getting hammered Brian seat's waits of course Hawk put on a guy named Tanner that's a Delta Bravo hipster name. This quick e-mail holy crap Tanner that was the most agreed his case of reading a phone call that I've heard in the last few years the energy the delivery that takes all world class garbage war whoever wins today smoker smoking Tanner's lame ass out the jungle that Vancouver Canada is killing him all right I promised I wouldn't say football we're joined right now by the head football coach at Oregon State 1st season as Peter said coach a 4 year starting quarterback at Oregon State Oregon State is at number 5 Ohio State Saturday noon Eastern big big week for them we're joined by head coach Jonathan Smith Jonathan it's so good to have ya Good morning how are you. You know I'm doing great appreciate being our is great to have you on listen before we talk about this weekend and this season we've got to go back I always love a guy who's got a good So Cal background you're from Southern California you went to Columbia High School so 1st things 1st. Family. Enjoy it more neck and back. Corner where they are and I like it so you said pretty early on that you had a plan quote It would be to get a degree play on it seem in coach high school football and teach history that was the blueprint so when did you 1st get the idea and what was it about college football or I should say coaching football the made you want to dedicate your life to it. Always enjoy the strategy and the crew Audrie you're such a fool I think it's an all commit team sport so getting around it you know I like the strategy competency men really doing it as a group and so experience that in high school but then came and played coach for 4 and I knew from that moment of course football that I want to be around my whole life and so if we're to be able to do that knowing Americans 18 to 20 to compete are huge stages and do it as a group or instead have football coach John Smith joining us they've got a house state this weekend you know even your teammates back in high school talk about you as a quarterback and the fact that there be situations where you have to drive the team 80 yards for a t.d. But you're always really really calm you'd be in the huddle talking about post-game dinners how real to get into that place mentally in the biggest moments you know I think that it can work to try to make up for a new play with your buddies and still some of those tiger moment I think. Let's win the magnitude of it and bring you back to real life that you're doing with your friends and your buddies and so we would really pop up a little bit in. John joining us now listen you had this planned but there are a lot of different ways you could approach that plan but your plan was to go to the biggest college football program you could get to and walk on c.n.n. Going to Oregon State what was it about Oregon State and why do you want to go to a huge program why was that part of the plan you know I think that I was ready to take a shot at the largest like get to recruit but from smaller schools but the Pac 12 com impact And at the time that opportunity did in that league I don't know what about organ and growing up but then got in on a little bit it came up and all the places and wanted it when it Mike Riley head coach at the time he was saying really the opportunity to compete and possibly play down the road and if you go Oregon State head coach Jonathan Smith joins us I'm glad you mentioned Mike Wiley because he said that his 1st conversation with you was about coaching that you were already preparing to be a coach there in your free time he'd be reading books on coaching and leadership so if you think back to that time who were some of the coaches and leaders that you read about in motion because take away at that point. You know I think a bunch of different guys I can remember the early conversation of what he's talking about in the recruiting process group or trojan you know yet l.a. Down there going to see it last year during the recount wrote your quarterback and you're going to get into the conversation what's the logic behind that like. I'm. Talking to other coaches there's always different environment to be going on again going back to such a cool sport with so many individuals on it I think a passion for us on the way up you got this blueprint and you're working your plan and you want become a head coach was there a clock in your head so to speak like we thought I want to be a head coach by this time or was a more a matter of the process and learning and growing and the just trusting that the opportunity would come along when it came along yeah it's totally trust and if I didn't like it you know I mean that's great clay can be an operative coordinator a couple spots and I really enjoyed that so I didn't have an entire time table like it was by this point beyond you know I think watching a lot for your time when working with some great people but there's opportunities here the fit for me in the Northwest obviously you know in the place. I just focus was something I couldn't pass up and I'm I've been enjoying it so for now so what's it like what's it like to come back to Corvallis and you're all modern as the head coach is there a way to put into words how that feels and what that's like. You know not totally. I mean it is amazing in regards to you seeing some old friends reform or players coming back you know our own that isn't great you know you're so good there's no work and so already and I've been in these players and it's random or so quick there's not a lot of time going to kind of sit back and say wow this is so cool we're talking to Johnson Smith head coach Oregon State now coming to a situation where the previous head coach stepped down in early October the team goes on to finish one of the 11 or 9 in conference and at the end of the season the players talked about the emotional toll that it took on them so how would you describe the team emotionally and psychologically when you 1st got there. I mean that was the circumstances of the year before with you what you're saying to head coach head coach really what I mean there are countries that rotated through obviously a new head coach going into he's going to have your assistant go it was a couple not guys and I knew that coming so we really tried to. Build some trust you know we didn't get the opportunity to not recruit him for a year and meet their family and they're all men so we try to do a lot of that is kind of connecting telling our stories and coach us and listening to their stories really can't alter Maclure game I think it's important to be able to trust each other you see how do you do that that's such a key point to me because you're right you and your staff did not go in there you did not see in their living rooms you didn't build that trust and then I think it's easy for fans to forget a lot of these guys are in their teens their early twenty's many that might be living away from home for the 1st time in their lives and then yes situation where everything changes instantly quickly so how do you build stability and trust in that situation in a locker room. Yeah I think you just honestly communicate again I think you break them up and smaller groups which we did in this game tell their stories where their background why they're chose or say what they like about or what they happen to like so far and you feel like they've got an open forum that people are here to listen to and get to know each other because we didn't want to just come in here and dive into schemes and tell them the expectations because I was doing things we wanted to make them feel like their value their story is important we want to know what we want to know each other and that's how we approach you know Chris Peterson is one the guys you work for he said quote You have to be comfortable being very uncomfortable you're juggling a lot of balls is like to get seen as ready to fall I mean that's really good advice that's a good point what was he like to work for and was one of the biggest takeaway you had of your time with him yeah he was great obviously I worked for him for 6 years learned a lot. You know what I want to down the guy's got a vision and he knows how he wants to go about things he's very clear communicator Weekly's vision and it's a day to day thanks consistent you're very clear I think that there's a great job of allowing his coaches to coach some big picture in that vision of how he wants it done but he let his guys go and do it. The guy getting all these details and it was a great 6 years we were 48 hours away from opening up against him or 5 Ohio State in this new run out of the tunnel plenty of times in your career any idea what's going to feel like when you do it for the 1st time as Oregon State head coach you know I read it 1st time I really don't exactly know how to feel I know I'll be excited and I'm proud of the group I'm taking out there again kids are a bunch of good kids been through a lot they've been working hard going to be excited outside of that I don't know I don't know or other emotions going. To get started and you concerned about your group and your only concern about we're in control but I want to at Ohio State have had a lot of controversy obviously in the last month how do you feel though about how your team has prepared for this game. You know I think we're pretty prepared well you know we haven't really thought much outside of ourselves in the preparation we've we've put forth the last month. I think these guys are ready we've been work and we know what we're running into now I mean this is a great program tradition could nominate players over there and so we're going to be out here on our a game to have a chance in this game to be able to call these guys and block these guys that are are committed to working and so like I said we're excited about this competition and the opportunity presented so that final thought you come to a situation like yours when you and I talked about it so you know exactly what you're getting into you know this document quick fixes you're looking to build something that's going to last so what are you looking to see from your players in the 1st few weeks to let you know that you are on the right path all I want people 60 Minutes I mean honestly we're going to go in I don't care what 4 up 14 down 14 I want to be swinging and compete for 60 Minutes Well you know I would not work unless you're a plate these guys they put a good 23 quarters together at times. And for 60 Minutes So really if we can put compete for 60 minutes and we will improve return and recount will be quite the end of the year and that's really the goal he was a 4 year starting quarterback in Oregon State in his 1st season has to be was head coach and you've got Oregon State at number 5 Ohio State Saturday noon Eastern John think great having to juggle Finally thank you very much good luck this weekend you're much appreciated we need everything getting younger cars going to help got you know well John to spend nice job coach good to have you good so cal guy love that grow corn a Dodger games u.s.c. Football games when you go into Glendora high school walked on and Oregon State for your starting quarterback in Oregon State and not coming back Corvallis where he's the head coach. And they've got Ohio State. Bieber fans what do you think they feel about your chances it's going take a little time now who knows you know maybe they come out what he said was I just want to see my guys compete for 60 Minutes come out and throw a month swing for 60 Minutes I just need to see that but again he inherits a really challenging situation so it's not going to happen overnight and if you pay attention to this sort of thing I'm looking at it there are $39.00 point dogs going to go in there and they going to compete going to battle going to be rated throw and if you're going to get Ohio State better to get them right now. 39 point dogs. Karma is going to take care of at least a touchdown of that look if you have a head coach on before a game like that in the book says 39 honestly it's 32 if not 30 the karmas good for at least a touchdown. The happiest guy right now that I did that interview is 10 or otherwise would be all 10 or react. This guy at the Rio as the wall tweets as somebody named Tanner I quickly apologize for that phone call it I appreciate the apology not accepted there are certain things that you cannot apologize for the other tanner as an example. Again this is the good and the bad about the smoker if it's free it's going to bring up people who ordinarily would not call the program they can't help themselves slug Black Thursday they got to get in line Man I need that deal I need that deal not only can I save money on that smoker I can get it for free. Yeah but you and several 1000 others had the same idea at the same time. There are people there ordinarily would never ever call this show and the reason for that is they know they're not good enough they know when work they know they're going to look bad they know they're going to get run and clowned and mocked but then all of a someone take a product like I'm asked about smoke or a really good product and it's free they forget all that they won't call the show because they know they don't have the game and it's going to go badly and people will mock them but then on the Son If I say hey see this over here it's great and it's free then all of a sudden they forget everything and they convince themselves you know what I can do that I do have that game after all it's free and for e is me it might be but it's not going to improve the quality of your thought process or your take even if it is free.
