If only the New York Jets would have listened to comedian Larry David.

The avid New York sports and die-hard Jets fan said he's tried his best to help his team out, but apparently his useful advice was met with laughter instead of being lauded. During an interview on The Michael Kay Show, the comedian brought up his team's lack of luck in the draft and lamented that twice the front office chose not to trust his gridiron expertise.

David said, just before the 2018 NFL draft, he called up then-Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan to advise him to draft quarterback Lamar Jackson (3:25):
