Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio, so we could have
ourselves a little bit of an issue. There is a
little bit of an issue that has currently taken place
in the world of football. We're going to get into
all of that here, and that's coming up in just
a couple of moments from now, Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio.
You can hang out with us as always on the
I Heart Radio app. You can find us on hundreds

(00:22):
of affiliates all across the country and wherever the hell
you are. Making us a party your Saturday morning into
the afternoon. We appreciate you doing so. We're gonna take
you all the way up until four pm Eastern time,
one o'clock Pacific. It is a two hour extravaganza and
we do it all live from the ti rac dot
com studios. Ti irac dot com will help you get

(00:42):
there and unmatched election fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti irac dot com
the way tire buying should be. All right. So here's
the thing. We all understand that Oklahoma came into this
matter such up with Texas down their starting quarterback and

(01:03):
Dylan Gabriel has had a great start to the year.
He's been fantastic. He's got eleven touchdowns, he's got no picks,
he's had a great start to the year. We all
get it. The problem is in college football, when you
have these die hard fan bases, there is a little
bit of a grace period for a certain amount of time,

(01:24):
and they're willing to understand if there's an issue or
an injury, and they'll even make excuses for you. That's
called the loyalty. The other part of him also says, yeah,
but this is Texas, and we should not be down
twenty eight to nothing against Texas and our defense if
we hired a defensive specialist as a head coach, shouldn't

(01:47):
be giving up three fifty plus in the first half
in yardage. And that is where we stand because you
got one of the great rivalries in college football. You
got Texas is you got oh you and Oklahoma is
getting absolutely smashed. Now again, starting quarterback is out. We

(02:10):
all get it. Not a lot of teams would would
be very good if their starting quarterback was out, and
except it's Alabama or or some of these other ones.
I mean Alabama, They're starting quarterback goes out and then
they bring in some guy and they end up running
away with it last week. But never mind that you've
got Texas all over Oklahoma here. And I'm not saying
we're at this point. I'm not saying we're anywhere close

(02:33):
to this point. But if you're the Oklahoma Sooner fan base,
you're not willing to accept this loss to Texas. And
I don't believe anything drastic is gonna happen. I don't
think this is gonna be a one and done. I
don't think they want to have to worry about a
buy out and all this stuff. But I do wonder

(02:54):
when the heat is going to start to ratchet up
on Brent Venables. I do wonder when that's gonna happen,
because if you think that well, you can be successful,
and look, they're gonna finish with a winning record, we
would assume. But this is gonna be your third straight loss.
I mean, everything looked pretty good early on Lincoln Riley,

(03:16):
who have fun in usc go try and you turn
that program around. And while you're at it, see if
you've got enough bail in your contract to get aunt
Becky at a prison from full House for that cheating
skin all that stuff. But if you're Oklahoma, you're looking
around going this, this didn't happen. This doesn't happen. Like

(03:38):
we're rolling out Heisman Trophy candidate quarterbacks, we're rolling out
college football playoff appearances. I mean like we were the
place and now we're getting smoked. So I look at
the situation, I go, I don't believe it's at that point.
I don't think they're going to go in this direction.
But if you think the heat's not gonna get ratcheted
up on Brett Venables after this performance, you are crazy.

(04:03):
I mean, if you don't think rivalries mean a lot
in college football, well, let's the overall win loss record,
and it's what you do in bowl games, etcetera, etcetera.
My ass asked John Cooper. John Cooper was a damn
good coach at Ohio State. There was one problem. Couldn't
beat Michigan. Ask Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh turned around a

(04:26):
bad program at Michigan. Not until recently do people start
to pull off the reins a little bit and put
the gun back in the holster, so to speak. I
don't want to offend anybody because he finally beat Ohio State.
This stuff matters man, and I just I, like I said,
I don't believe we're at this point. But when you're

(04:47):
getting buried like this on national television and it looks
this bad, I mean they look dysfunctional. Defense doesn't look good.
Quinn yours looks like a Heisman Tree orophy winner just
came back from injury. He's slicing and dice in their defense.
I mean, it just it's not a good look. And

(05:09):
if you're gonna perform poorly and rivalry games, your your
time is short lived. I mean, we throughout the pole
that this was a legitimate question, and multiple people weighed
in and all agreed. We were talking about this during
the week and Brady Quinn is from Dublin, Ohio, which

(05:29):
is right next to Columbus, Ohio, and we were talking
about this a few weeks ago, and I brought up
the point and said, let me ask you a question.
You know Ohio State fans as well as anybody even
ran this by Albert Brier NFL insider Albert Briers in
Ohio State alum loves Ohio State. Would you rather win
a national championship but have lost to Michigan that year

(05:53):
or beating Michigan, but have lost to national championship that year,
and they all said, oh, beat Michigan and lose a
national championship. That's how important these rivalries are. So Oklahoma
can do whatever the hell they want this year. They
can go on and win a bunch of games in
a row, and they can say they could do whatever

(06:13):
the hell they want. There's going to be a segment
of the population in Norman, Oklahoma that's gonna look at
this game and go, yeah, but we get it. You're
starting quarterback was out? Yeah, what what about your defense?
We get it. There's gonna be a lot of yeah
button going on when it comes to Oklahoma. And I'm
just saying, man, at some point, the conversations are gonna

(06:35):
get a lot stronger, and there's gonna be some questions
about Venables and this coaching staff and the direction of
the program. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. All right, So,
anybody who's ever been married, you know what I'm talking about.
There's a thing about weddings. When you go to a wedding,

(06:56):
it's a blast, especially if there's an open bar. Now,
you go to certain weddings and some people are cheap
asses and they'll do like a two hour window where
there's free drinks. I went to a wedding one time,
and like, I don't believe in putting on curses. I
don't believe in like voodoo dolls or anything like that.
I'm not a big believer in that, because you know,
I think logically, and I'm also not a drug addict,

(07:20):
so I don't believe in voodoo dolls. I don't believe
in any of that stuff. But I do vividly recall
going to a wedding once and wondering why I was
now being charged for my beer when fifteen minutes earlier
I wasn't being charged. And then I saw the little
sign on the front of the bar that said two

(07:42):
hour open bar, and after that you gotta pay for drinks.
Now I paid for my beer, and then quietly to myself,
I said, I really hope this marriage doesn't work out,
and voila. Ten months later, gone divorced. Everybody of it
on hatred, drama, you name it. Now. I don't want

(08:03):
to say that I was the one that made that happen,
but I was annoyed enough to think at that moment,
if I was a drug addict who had a voodoo doll,
this will be the time to use it. And long
beholden ended up getting used. Here's the point. Weddings are fun.
They're fun for everybody. You go there, you have a blast,
You pick up a couple of parting gifts, You takes

(08:25):
some pictures, you have some drink, sheets, some food. There's cake.
Everybody gets after it. That's an excuse to get dressed up.
You'll leave the kids at home. You know, you do it,
you do, you go, you tear it up. You look around.
Is anybody here that's not married? Anybody in any women
here depressed because they're not getting married? And then you
try and like everybody loves it. Weddings are fun except

(08:47):
for the people who are getting married. It is stressful,
it's miserable, it's expensive. And you've also got a deal
with the guilt of there was so somebody that I
didn't invite here that I easily could have invited here
because I didn't realize so and so was gonna no show.
And now I'm gonna look like an a hole when

(09:08):
I see him back in the office. Now you gotta
deal with that. This is how I feel about baseball
in the postseason. When you're watching baseball in the postseason,
it's great. Every pitch matters, every back counts, every all
of it matters. And you're looking around and it's a

(09:30):
nice weekend in fall. Colors are starting to change on
the trees. There's a bunch of leaves on the ground.
When you got a step on him, they crunch. It's awesome.
You're we got football all day today, we got football
all day tomorrow, we got Monday night football all and
then a little cherry on top. Here's some baseball postseason

(09:51):
for you. It is awesome, great time of year for
sports fans, probably the best time of year. Just a wonderful,
wonderful existence for everybody who likes sports. You've got multiple games,
You've got wild card games that we've got a three
game series. It is awesome. I can't wait watching all
of it. There's boxing coming up later on. You've got
a w W pay per view coming up. It is fantastic,

(10:13):
great weekend in the world of sports. Except for the
people who root for these baseball teams. It is miserable.
I have watched lives being taken off people in radio
just by watching their favorite teams play. Ryan Burr Shinger

(10:34):
is an executive producer here at Fox Sports Radio. At
one point I was ready to read his obituary on
the air because the Dodgers gagged away a postseason game.
He went from mid twenties good looking guy, tall, dark,
handsome to the lady who was read that took off

(10:57):
her necklace and Game of Thrones and evaporated into the sand.
He looked. He turned into a corpse in the matter
of two innings. I swear to god, he went from
male model to stunt double on cocoon in fifteen minutes.
I do not into him. It is a miserable life.

(11:19):
So while you're watching this and while you're enjoying all
the action, and while you're while you're staring at a
screen going behand padres Mets. We got we got the Guardians,
whatever name that is. We got the Rays, were all
this fun stuff that's going on. We got baseball Phillies, Cardinals,
even though the Cardinals crap themselves in the final inning.
All of this while you're watching, it's fantastic. You need

(11:42):
all these TVs. You got everything lined up. It is
a wonderful except just like a wedding, it's great for
everybody in attendance. It's not great for the two people
on display. So thoughts and prayers to anybody watching their
favorite team playing in a baseball postseason game this weekend.
It's miserable. I've been there, I know it, and so

in about ten minutes from now, a multiple time world
champion is stepping away. We'll tell you who again ten

(14:33):
minutes from now on fs are. So this is, by
the way, Michigan and Indiana. Uh, they are all tied.
It is ten a piece Michigan in Indiana. That is
the game on Fox. That is the big, big new
and kickoff game on Fox. So we will keep you
updated on that as well. To TCU has just taken
a lead over Kansas in Lawrence. Uh. That game is

(14:55):
also on Fox Sports one. So that is a a
seventeen Verse nineteen matchup. We also got Tennessee wiping out
l s U as well too, so we're gonna give
you all the updates on those scores coming up here shortly.
Mike Hart, the running backs coach, former Michigan Wolverine and
the running backs coach for Michigan. He actually collapsed in
the first half, and Michigan seemed a little bit shook.

(15:18):
He was carted off the field. He's been taken to
a local hospital there. He's with his wife and uh,
you know, we'll give you an update on his condition.
But Michigan looked pretty rattled. There are a lot of
guys very emotional on the sidelines after that, and they
have been struggling to try and get it back on track.
So they are in a little bit of a dog
fight there with the Indiana Hoosiers again ten apiece early
in the third quarter there in Bloomington. All right, so

(15:42):
this is gonna happen. Just letting you know this is
gonna happen. The NFL is going to Europe. It's happening.
Roger Goodell spoke earlier because the NFL has got another
London game coming up tomorrow. They've got the Packers, they've
got the Giants. I've got some thoughts on that. Somebody's
getting screwed. I'll get into that later on the show.
But the NFL is going back to London. This is

(16:04):
now two weeks in a row they've been in London.
It was a fantastic game last week. He had the Saints,
you had the vikings, Uh went down to the wire.
You had a double doin all of that stuff. It
was awesome. But the NFL is going to Europe. Roger
Goodell even talked about it earlier when he said, and
he mentioned if we do come, if and when we
do come to London, we're gonna bring two teams, similar

(16:25):
to what they did in l A. They weren't going
to bring just one team and throw off the math.
They were going to bring two teams. And then the
subject of a potential division in Europe got brought up,
what about a four team division in Europe? And he
didn't pooh poo it. He didn't say no, no, there's
you know, not nothing like that. It's gonna happen. Definitely
open minded to it. Here's the reality of the situation.

(16:48):
This is going to happen. At worst, worst case scenario,
two teams are going to London. At worse Here's how
I know that money talks. If you're one of those
people listening to this right now and you're saying no, no, no,
leave my NFL alone. We don't need two teams in London,
I'm with you. I agree. I don't want it either.

(17:12):
I would like to hoard every NFL team. I want
to be like one of those weirdos off that show
Who's Got a to Go Box from the nineties seventies,
still in their house because they're not sure whether or
not they're gonna use it later. I want to be
one of those people when it comes to the NFL.
You think you're gonna take the Jaguars from me, you
can kiss my ass. That's my Jacksonville Jaguar team. Those

(17:33):
are my swimming pools. That's my bad football team. Oh
you think you're gonna walk in and you're gonna take
the Chicago Bears from me. You think you're gonna walk
in and take Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson from me?
And moving to Europe not happening. Those are my teams.
This is my NFL. I'm with you. I don't want
it to happen either, but money talks, and this is

(17:56):
the way this is gonna go. They're not send teams
over to London just so they can hang out there,
just so they can say hey, hi to everybody. I
hope everybody's well. I just wanted to say hi. Let
you know we're over here, but we're gonna go back.
So it's a great scene, you get. That's how this works, right, Like,

(18:17):
if somebody keeps showing up to your house, it's probably
for a reason. Either they're attracted to you or they're
gonna rob you, but they're gonna be back. There's a
there's a motive. They're like, hey, so and so is
over at the house all the time. Now, what do
you think is going on there? Just popping mind saying Hi, yeah,

(18:38):
this is two weeks in a row. And uh, it's
kind of looking around at stuff I noticed. I'm looking
at the ceilings. I think he was asking me about
what the safe code was, but just you know, he's
kind of identifying where the ring cameras are. It feels
like something else is going on. The NFL is going
to Europe. It's happening. They're putting teams in London. I'm

(18:58):
with you. I don't it either. I'd like it to
stay exactly the way it is. I also wanted college
football to keep a four team college football playoff. I
didn't want expansion in that I fought against it, and
I fought against it on the air, had arguments and
disagreements with people on the air, about it. There's not
enough good teams. We've only got four leaveing it for

(19:20):
make it exclusive, you don't need to turn it into
the NFL, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And guess what happened. Now
we're getting a twelve team playoff because there's too much
money involved. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars involved,
and college football recognized. Why are we sitting here just

(19:41):
doing a four team playoff when we can expand it
a little bit, set up some bye weeks and make
people actually think they've got an opportunity to win a
national championship. Now we all agree it's a long shot.
Anybody that's watching college football acknowledges there's like three or
four teams that are legitimate national championship contenders. Does anybody

(20:05):
look at Oregon, who's sitting at twelve, and think, man,
I really like their chances in that twelve five matchup
against Clemson and then furthermore, I like them to go
on and beat Alabama and maybe Georgia. No, nobody thinks
that's gonna happen. Nobody really believes that Oregan is gonna
do that. You want to know why, because I've already

(20:26):
seen him played Georgia. Already saw him played Georgia earlier
this year. They got annihilated. So nobody actually believes that.
But you're giving hope. You're giving somebody hope. It's exactly
why everybody, if you ever go to a sports bar
to watch NFL football, one that you go do consistently,

(20:48):
you know what, You're gonna see the numbers at the
sports bar slowly dwindle as the season goes on. You
want to know why, because if you're showing up there
and it's week one and you're thinking, man, we got
a real opportunity to be a great team this year.
Like you know how many Raider fans or Carolina Panther
fans showed up first week of the season thinking, you

(21:10):
know what, this could be our year. This this really
could be our year. And you know what, it's again
ends up happening. As the year goes on, hope starts
to dwindle. I'm telling you right now, Jets fans are
showing up in droves as sports bars. They think they
got a real team. They think they got a real team.
You're gonna see those fans and those numbers start to
dwindle because they realize, oh, this is just the reality

(21:34):
of the situation. Right. We had a bunch of hope
going into the year, and then the reality sets in
and then it's all gone. All you're looking to do
is to present hope. That's all you're doing in a
college football playoff. That's why it's expanding. On top of
the money in the NFL, you're looking for possibilities. You're
looking to try and present this league into other and

(21:54):
to other places. And you're not gonna do it once
or twice a year by throwing some teams out there
and say come and watch our product. They're all sniffing around.
And the fact that Roger Goodell is coming out and
telling people we're probably gonna if we're gonna move here,
it's not gonna be one, it's gonna be too, and
that he's open minded to a division. It's happening. Follow

(22:15):
the money, money talks. It talked in the College Football
Playoff expansion and it's talking in the NFL now. So
if you're looking at this little experiment, if you're looking
at this, it's like, oh, it's fun. You know, this
is like the samples at COSTCO. I mean we don't
really need. They're just go go grab you know a
bunch of you know, doughnut holes, little pizza pockets as

(22:36):
you're cruising around while you're buying you know, a toilet
paper roll pack of like four hundred that you're never
gonna use because nobody wipes their ass that much. Like
whatever you want to do, like like go go enjoy
it all you want, don't worry about it. You're not
taking anything home. I can assure you that's not happening
with this London experiment. They're taking something home. There's gonna

(22:58):
be two teams. It's probably gonna expand further than that
when it happens. I would have ventured to guests in
the next three or four years. But if you're pushing
against it and you say no, no, no, you better
embrace it. Just like I pushed back against college football's
playoff expansion. You gotta embrace it. And it's happening. And
the fact that Roger Goodell is speaking on it, I
think tells a lot. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, Get

(23:21):
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas
Knocks on Twitter, you can hang out with us is
always on the I Heart Radio app. All right, it's
coming up. We are going to get into a situation
in the world of sports in which a multiple time
champion is walking away. We'll have that for you here next.
But for all the latest from around the world of sports,
ladies and gentlemen, we present to you a TV star.

(23:44):
Oh yeah, he's a TV star now, the great Brian Finley. Finley,
what's happening, Jonas? It is always so much fun working
on your show with you, considering everything that is going on,
and we've had a lot of fun and we will
have fun the next hour and a half. Let's just
get this party started, all right, if Finly, once you
spill the beans, let everybody know the good news. Not

(24:05):
everybody's on Twitter and if you know that or not
right once you spill the beans, he's got another baby coming.
How about that? You bought another Corgi? One is enough?
So I will be I'm not leaving my post here
at Fox Sports Radio, but I will be adding adding
on with some work in Tennis Channel, calling matches on
TV for Tennis Channel. As you know, guys, there is

(24:28):
always said tennis as a special place in my heart.
As this crew has always had a special place in
my heart. How do you like that? The way I
sort of connected it all back together. That's a radio
professional professional. Look at you. Everybody got to pay this year,
so we clear and and he's a rapper, hip hop,
hip hop artist. He's also you know, working at the

(24:51):
tennis channel. Now, look at him. You know what I
used to do, Jonas. When I did my first radio
was in college radio in North Carolina and we did
an E d M show. It was three hours of techno,
and we thought we were a lot funnier than we were.
We would have freestyle rappers come on the show and
they would just bust rhymes. Man, we just had a blast.
It was like the pregame show going into a Saturday

(25:11):
night before everybody got liquored up. That was the place
to be. The five people that listened to our show,
we thought we were a big deal. But only we
thought we were a big deal. Yeah they, I mean
I think they called you. Uh what was it like
the the Pete Sampras of the ecstasy world? Is that
what it was like? It was someone like I did
have a DJ name and it was DJ Innocent Convict.

(25:34):
That was the name, right. Uh, you know, you know,
I I would I would recommend that probably we keep
that between us, so the people of the Tennis channel
don't don't hear about that. Nobody else heard that what
I just uttered? Right? Innocent convict? God, where was my

(25:57):
I was in a bad place. Well, I worry about
I mean, look, you know, I mean, amazing things happen now.
Jeffrey Dahmer has got a Netflix special, so there's anything's possible. Family, Well, Jonas,
it is possible that I'm working on this show and
on a serious note, to start a look at the
world of sports in the situation that is right now.
As you mentioned, Michigan's running backs coach Mike Hart during

(26:19):
today's game against Indiana was taken off the field and
a stretcher for an undisclosed health issue. The game itself
right now is a tight one Number four Michigan up
seventeen to ten against Indiana game that can be seen
on Fox television with seven twin remaining in the third quarter.
Number eight Tennessee is whitewashing Number twenty five LSU thirty

(26:40):
to seven. That contest is in the third quarter, and
that Tiger ground game. Jonas, all of thirty three yards,
So that's not going to get it done right. Now,
Number seventeen TCU has come right back and they have
scored a touchdown in the back and forth a fair
against number nineteen Kansas. It is thirty to twenty four
born for Dogs on our minutes ago in the third quarter,

(27:02):
extra point pending. But this is a game where we've
seen Jason Bean come in as the backup quarterback for
three touchdowns for the Jayhawks after starting QB Jalen Daniels
went down with an apparent shoulder injury. There is some
thought that he could return, but his chances of doing
so given a fifty fifty shot. Number twenty three Mississippi
State is terrorizing Arkansas twenty seven to ten. Will Rogers. Now,

(27:26):
this one in the third quarter has the three touchdown tosses.
By the way, what in the world that Jonas talked
about this a lot? Oklahoma just make it a mess
of things. What a face plant at home on national
television forty two It's another thing. They are just getting
boat raced here through three quarters. Quinn yours four touchdown

(27:46):
tosses and wrapping a mullet that actually, Jonas, I think
when you were in high school had the same sort
of hairstyle. I look forward to seeing some of those
pictures from your year book, also mentioning here there is
a baseball being believe it or not, they're still playing
baseball or raising guardians what a name and scoreless in
the seventh then in Cleveland up a game in the

(28:06):
a L wild Card and I'll leave you with this,
Jonas is my last tidbit here. Warriors Draymond Green talking
to the media today for the first time after landing
that cheap shot of a punch a teammate Jordan Pool
at practice, which happened earlier this week, and it was
an exchange that was seen on video. TMZ released it,
and Green, talking about that, said he's gonna take a

(28:27):
few days off. He called his actions embarrassing and blamed
it in part on dealing with tough personal matters and
not being in a great place. Mentally said quote, I
am a very flawed human being. I'm a constant work
in progress, and I will continue to do the work
close quote. He also went on to say that that
getting released that video was expletive. Yeah yeah, so I

(28:50):
can imagine, uh yeah, it's uh thanks Brian Brian family
with us here, so I'll be with us all show long, Daddy,
Yet we play a little grab us here on FS
al right is Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. By the way,
coming up in about ten minutes from now, we're gonna
have another edition of Do You Care. It's an opportunity
to be negative in the world of sports, and who
doesn't like doing that? So we'll have that for you. Yeah.
As Brian mentioned, so Draymond Green, multiple time world champion,

(29:16):
he's going to be stepping away from the team, all right.
He came out, he spoke with the media earlier. Uh
you know, as Brian talked about he mentioned his uh
you know, he's dealing with some stuff and he failed
as a leader, and that he's still supports Jordan's pool,
but he's gonna stay away from the team. And he
talked about the video, and he talked about I mean,
very apologetic, very accountable, all of that stuff. But he's

(29:39):
going to be taking time time away from the team
and step away, all right. A couple of things. Number One, um,
who cares? Really? I really like he punched up. I
get it. Not a great look, I understand. But my
favorite part about all this is when people go, well,
how are they gonna coexist on the same team together

(30:03):
because they have contracts? How's that? Because they have contracts?
All right, this wasn't a ten day tryout and two
guys through some risk grenades at each other and next
thing you know, they've got to make a decision who's
going who's staying. All they got contracts. Okay, they're there.
They're either going to coexist or they're not going to

(30:25):
co exist. It's not like this is the first time
teammates have fought before. Draymond Green lost his cool and
he cracked him. I also this idea that it's a
sucker punch, like that, it was a sucker punch. Nobody's
condoning the punch. He shouldn't have done it, but Jordan's
Pool pushed him and he got cracked. Like I don't know, Like,

(30:47):
in what world are you able to put your hands
on somebody and then when somebody puts their hands on you,
it's got to be exactly the same or less than
or else you're a bad guy. I mean, like it's
like that's apart. Like I don't understand so all of
this drama, all of this I'm gonna take time away.

(31:10):
I failed as a leader. I feel okay, I get
all that, and guess what's gonna happen when we're a
few games into the season. Nobody's gonna care. They're not
gonna care, and nobody's here condoning the Like everyone's worried
about the locker room dynamic between Jordan Poole and Draymond Green.
You shouldn't worry about the locker room dynamic. Also of

(31:32):
whoever released the video to TMZ and then what did
it cost TMZ to get that video? Because I don't
see a whole lot of practice video that that pops up.
But somehow TMZ got their hands on Draymond Green smoking
his teammate with a right cross in an altercation of practice. Like,
they gotta figure out who came up with that, because

(31:55):
there's not there's not that many people that are allowed
to practice. There's not that many people that are walking around.
You get some coaches, you've got the players on the floor,
you got some trainers, maybe you got a video guy.
How did TMZ get their hands on that? Like, like,
here's the problem. I know some people at t MZ.
I would ask them, They're not going to tell me

(32:17):
that's why they're so good. Remember back of the day,
it was like, well TMZ is reporting on it, Well
take it with a grain of salt. Those days are dead.
When did they miss? If ever, they're the Ray Rice video.
I still remember a guy from TMZ calling me the
night before the video came out and saying, hey, something's

(32:39):
about to drop tomorrow because I was producing a show
on Fox Sports Radio in the morning. Remember the guy
called me the night before saying, Hey, something's about to
drop tomorrow. It's major, it's huge. So what is it?
I can't tell you what time is it dropping? Like
eight eastern time? Okay? I mean you want to give
me any hints? Nope, can't do it. It's huge, though,
what happened eight eastern on the dot? Refresh Twitter, TMZ's

(33:04):
got the video Ray Rice in the elevator with his fiancee.
Like they don't miss how they got that video? All
of the uh. I mean, there's there's a lot of
story to that as well too. But everyone's worried about
all the locker room dynamic between Draymond Green and Jordan Pool.
They're either gonna get over they're not gonna get over it.
If they don't get over it. I get it. Maybe

(33:25):
Draymond Green pulls Jordan pool aside and said, hey man,
one free shot and let's squash it here. We can
even film it. Cracked me as hard as you can.
One free shot, will film it, release it, and then
we move on. We squash it. But you gotta figure
out who that video was obtained. Somebody's got to figure
out how that video was obtained, because that completely made

(33:49):
this whole conversation take a turn in a direction. I
don't think Golden States are but ultimately Who Cares Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the
Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter and you
can hang out with us is always on the I
Heart Radio app. All right, it's coming up next. Speaking
of Who Cares, it's one of the most enjoyable segments
we do all show long, every single week. There are

(34:10):
stories that you were being force fed in the world
of sports that aren't that big of a deal, and
nobody's got the balls to tell you the truth on
him except for this show. And it's next year on
fs are all Right, this song stinks. I feel like

(34:30):
I'm in a trans am right now what a bad song?
Good God, shut up. And there's people that are bob
in their head right now. Let me tell you something.
If you're bothering your head right now, you gotta be
ashamed of yourself. I mean, don't leave. This is Bong Jovi.
I mean, stay listening, don't leave. How dare you? All right?

(34:55):
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with
us as always on the I heart Rate you app
coming up top of next hour. All Right, we got
a couple of things we need to get to. A
number one, somebody in the NFL is getting screwed. It's
a giant group of people that are being screwed. And
not only are they being screwed, they're being screwed out

(35:16):
of close to fifteen million dollars. All Right, so we're
gonna get into that. That's coming up top of next
hour a little over ten minutes from now from the
Tirack dot com studios. Also another edition of Knox Locks
kind of a mixed bag last week. Will explain what happened.
But I feel really, really confident I'm either going three
and oh this week or I'm going oh and three.

(35:36):
A lot of variants, a lot of things could happen
this upcoming week in Knox Locks. So all of that
is coming up to you in about ten minutes from now,
we are going to get to another edition of Do
You Care coming up here momentarily. Want to let you
know that Charlotte's Web is the most trusted HEMP extract
founded to serve wellness seekers looking for safe, clean, and
most importantly natural options. It's the number one eb D

(36:00):
brand on the market. Go to Charlotte's Web dot com
and use promo code sports fifteen that Sports fifteen for
fiftcent off your order. That's Charlotte's Web dot Com. Not
available in Idaho or South Dakota. There's so many stories
in the world of sports, and most of them are
a complete waste of time. MC reports. Let's get kinky.

(36:24):
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.
But jonas the real question is, and for that we
turn it over to the man with the best pipes
in all of radio, the one and only Danny G
the microphone throttler. All right, MC guilty. Convict Roger Goodell
says that the NFL is prepared to make a changer
too to its concussion protocol. Do You care. No, I don't.

(36:47):
I'm over seriously, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
I know head trauma is a serious thing, and concussions
are serious and long term. If I get all that,
I also get that it's a part of the football.
It's part of football, it's part of sport, and so
everybody like wants to because it was a bad pr hit.
Now all of a sudden, we're enacting change like we
needed to a tug of Volo at a walk like

(37:09):
he had one leg in order for people to really
be concerned about whether or not players are getting hit
in the head too much. I just I knew this
was gonna happen. I knew we were going to go
in this direction because the NFL pulls this move every time. Next,
the slugged four home runs versus the Mets in Game
one of their best of three. Do you care? Not really?

(37:31):
Although it is kind of funny though, to see if
Mets fans freaking out. This is what I'm talking about, though.
Baseball postseason is great for everybody on the outside except
for the people that were for their teams. Mets fans
are miserable right now. They're stressed out, they're worried, they're concerned.
We thought we had a pitching staff that could compete.
Max Scherzer got batted around. Uh, I mean it just

(37:53):
it was. It was bad all the way through for
the New York Mets. Maybe they bounced back in Game two.
They got to Graham going May that's things are looking
up for them, But ultimately we'll see how it plays
out next. Adam Silver praised Victor wembn Yama and international
stars before Thursday's preseason game in Abu Dhabi. Do you
give a rats ass? No, I don't listen. This is fun.

(38:15):
I mean it's it's great talking about the future, Like, hey,
you know this, Like what about this guy? He's he's
you know, the next up and coming superstar? Okay, cool?
What about the next up and coming season? Isn't that
right around the corner? I mean, shouldn't that be part
of the conversation. But if it's not wen ban Yama
or Steve how you fat or whatever? That that that
who you fat ass or whatever the name is on

(38:36):
the back of that guy's jersey, it's Draymond Green, Punch
and Jordan Pool. Get it together. You get a season
coming up after what it's called by it, how you
fat ass or whatever his name is. Alright, after Thursday
Night's big win in a bad game, the Colt Stefan
Gilmore was asked about Russell Wilson and he said, he
kept trying me, so I had to make him pay.

(38:56):
Do you care I do? This is fascinating, the meltdown
and to see everybody turning their back on Russell Wilson.
I'm not trying to be one of these people on
sports radio or TV that says I told you so,
I told you so. But I had a lot of
people give me a hard time when I called Russell
Wilson a phony, not as a player so much, but
just as a personality. I didn't buy it. There's a

(39:17):
reason why teammates pushed him away, and there's a reason
why it caused friction between the front office, the coaching staff,
and the guys on defense. In Seattle, there was a
lot going on there. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
It's fascinating to see this whole thing turn around. Next. Alright,
Alaska Daily with Hillary Swank debuts on ABC and Hulu.

(39:38):
Do you care? No? What is Alaska Daily? Is it
a show or like a like a sitcom. It's a show.
It's not a sitcom. She's trying to be dramatic in it.
I think. I mean, look, I if I want to
watch something Alaska related, I'll watch Deadliest Catch. You know,
like the thing about Deadliest Catches. They catch a bunch

(39:59):
of crab, or they don't. It's like they pull up
a pop that's empty or it's full with crab, and
then everybody celebrates. You've got guys that are sleep deprived.
They turned to drugs after the show goes off the air,
and then they lose limbs. The guys driving the boat
have bags under their eyes. You can put groceries in.
It's awful, but that's Alaska. I don't care. So there's

(40:20):
a whole bunch of people that are getting screwed. Not
only are they getting screwed out of entertainment, they're getting
screwed at a close to fifteen million dollars. I'll explain
who they are coming up here in just a couple
of moments from now. Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. You
can hang out with us as always on the I
Heart Radio app. You can find us on hundreds of

(40:40):

wondering what is happening to the Oklahoma Sooners and the
Texas Longhorns, here's a little experiment. Take a thing of
cotton candy on a stick and pour your beer on it.

(41:23):
It disappears, because Oklahoma has disappeared from this game. Gone gone,
gone for nothing is the score right now? The Longhorns
all over uh, the the Oklahoma Sooners, Uh, that game
is is a wrap and it's been a rap for
quite some time. So they are winding down the clock.
Oklahoma looking to get on the board somehow, some way

(41:44):
and that. And we will keep you posted as to
what the actual damages as well as what is going
on throughout the course of the show is Brian Family mentioned.
We've got TCU up on Kansas there, You've got Michigan
and Indiana in a close one, Michigan on Indiana there
in Bloomington's. So we will keep you up to date
on all of the happenings from around the world of

(42:05):
college football. But we must get into this, and we
are gonna have some Knox locks here in just a
few moments from now. But we must get into this.
There's a group of people that is getting screwed, right,
and not only are they getting screwed out of entertainment,
they're getting screwed out of a lot of money, all right,
So check this out. When the NFL sends these teams

(42:27):
over to London. And as we talked about earlier, the
latest conversation is surrounding the NFL moving to London permanently,
meaning a couple of teams. Roger Goodell hinted at it
earlier today. He also talked and addressed the possibility that
there would be a European division, So not only would
there be one team going, but there for sure would
be too, Roger Goodell said it himself. So that way

(42:48):
you could have an even number. But also there's a
possibility that we would have a europe division that the
NFL would send four teams over. The NFL would put
together a four team division in Europe, and that way
make travel about a lot easier and it would just
make more sense. It's all money. It's gonna happen. I
don't know about the division, but absolutely there's gonna be
a team that goes to London, a team that goes

(43:10):
to Europe. It's going to happen. Follow the money, they're
gonna expand, just like they did in college football with
the playoffs. It's all that needs to be said there.
But the reality of when a team goes to London
is somebody loses a home game. That sucks. Now, if
it's the Jaguars, if it's a team that can't draw flies,

(43:34):
or a team that has no real buzz surrounding them,
I get it. Send them over to London. Nobody's showing
up to these games. Maybe you'll entice some of these
fan bases to actually show up to home games and
support their team. I totally get it. You lose a
home game, we're gonna send That's why the Jaguars were
always there, like do you I mean, do you really

(43:58):
think people in London happy seeing the Jags come to
town every single week? Probably not, or every single year?
Probably not. But they got them because who else are
you gonna send? Everybody else? Is? You know? And and
so one of the most loyal fan bases, if not
the most loyal fan base and all of sports. A
team that never has to worry about drawing people to

(44:21):
their games, a team that never has to worry about
attendance issues. It's the Green Bay Packers. I mean, they
show up, they're there. You ain't gonna worry about that. Now,
some people would say I wouldn't be one of those
I've never been to Green Bay. But some people would
point out whether there's not much else to do in
Green Bay? Okay, regardless, they're showing up to these games. Well,

(44:46):
the problem with this week in London is that the
Packers are losing a home game because they're the quote
unquote home team as they play the Giants coming up
tomorrow morning. Now you can say, well, you know, with
the odd number of k tames, uh, you know, it's
okay because they're still gonna get eight games in Green
Bay and everything's gonna be fine. Okay, that's cool. You

(45:07):
know what else is cool the fact that, according to
the green Bay Gazette, the green Bay Post Gazette and
excuse me, green Bay Press Gazette came out and did
some research and did a study on this, and the
Press Gazette says that packer home games generate an estimate

(45:29):
of fifteen million dollars for the city of Green Bay.
So you can celebrate it at all. We've still got
eight games at home and who cares it's a throwaway game.
Send him to London, dude. Fifteen million dollars is fifteen
million dollars, especially in that city. So I understand the

(45:51):
NFL wants to expand, and I understand they want to, like,
you know, go go places and kind of show their sport.
But let's recognize you're getting screwed a little bit here
are I mean, they're losing a home game. I remember
when this conversation came up a few years ago, and
one of the teams that went and hosted a London
game was Kansas City and Chiefs fans were like, why

(46:13):
are we losing a home game? Like why should we
be punished? Why don't you identify the teams that have
the worst attendance and send them to London. Why should
we lose out on the opportunity a for entertainment and
be financially locally just because you want to kind of
mix and match some some teams and some presentations over

(46:36):
in London. Like, it doesn't make sense and it's not fair.
So if you're a Packers fan, if you are a
Packers fan listening to this and you didn't make the
trip over to London because you're not interested in bad food,
if you're a Packer fan who likes to go to
home games or you have season tickets, I apologize. I'm
with you, Like, this should not be an eight thirty

(46:58):
local time kick for you tomorrow morning. This should be
noon local time Packers giants in lambeau Field with an
opportunity for entertainment and for an extra fourteen to fifteen
million dollars in the city's pocket. But unfortunately the NFL
makes our own rules. This is what we got and
now you gotta wake up extra early and you lose

(47:19):
a home game because of it. So my thoughts. Jonas
Knox Fox Sports Radio. Again, you can get me on
Twitter at the Jonas Knox. Before we get to another
edition of Knox Locks, I do want to point out
some positive reviews of the show so far. Everybody likes
to take the negative route on sports talk radio. If
you listen to this show, that's not the route we take.
We talk about positivity here. We talk about really the

(47:40):
bright spots not only in the world of sports, but
in the world of you know, whether it's pop culture, music,
social media. For example, Brian writes in quote, we need
Draymond Green to lay an ass beating pool style on
that cracker pasty blee Jonas knocks and do us all

(48:01):
a favor, you fake tough guy Rusty Wilson, goober bleep sucker.
He said that, Dan writes in Draymond torching Joni and
his fellow cornball bleep Mr Unlimited Russell Wilson would be
like killing two bleeps with one s kicking we all

(48:22):
need to see. Yeah, So again we focus on the
positive stuff here on spot on Fox Sports Radio. I
know what you're thinking. It's a Saturday. Uh, there's way
too much negativity during the week. Don't worry about it.
You come here for the ray of sunshine that is
sports Talk radio. And with feedback like that, we're bringing
smiles across America. Right now, though it's time for Knox

(48:45):
locks it. Let's Knox now. Before we get to the
actual games this week, we must address what happened last week.
All right. We pushed three games, we won one, we
lost one, and we pushed on one. All right, let's

(49:05):
get to the push first. And I mentioned this because
I was given some information somebody was trying to throw
me off their game. I'm not gonna say who that
somebody was, but there's a Vikings fan in the building,
Scott Shapiro. And again I'm not gonna say his name
on the air. I refused to say his name on
the air. Here Scott Shapiro, who gave me some information

(49:26):
on the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints and
White Kirk Cousins playing in a certain time slot even
though it's overseas. What are to do for you? Etcetera, etcetera.
Ultimately it didn't matter because the line was three. I
took the Vikings minus three, and because of the double
doink at the end of that game, we ended up
pushing there. Now, there was a bad pick that I

(49:47):
made later on in the morning that was the Bears
plus three at the Giants. My fault. I thought for
sure the Bears could protect their quarterback, that the Bears
could complete a pass, and that the Bears could do
more then score four field goals with a kicker who
was signed twenty four hours prior. My fault. That's my fault.

(50:07):
I apologize. I misread the situation. I didn't realize signing
a kicker twenty four hours previous meant that that was
gonna be the only guy on your roster that was
gonna put up points. I apologize my fault. I own it.
We did, though, However, when when it came to the
Arizona Cardinals, the Arizona Cardinals finally getting it done. We've

(50:29):
been betting on them all season long. They were at
the Carolina Panthers, they were a one point underdog. We
got it done there, So one one and one on
the week. That puts us at five six and one
on the season. And with that we get to this
week Lion's at Patriots. So let me get this straight, right,
this is what I understand. So we're gonna get zapped

(50:52):
right because Bailey's appy is going to be the starting
quarterback for the New England Patriots. So we're getting zapped
this week. He's never started the game, but for and again, look,
he didn't he didn't look all that bad. It's not
like he was awful. But I'm staring at this situation
going Detroit's a little banged up. I get it, and
they've been dealing with some injuries. I totally understand Detroit's

(51:15):
been dealing with this. On offense. You got DeAndre Swift
who's can't see him to stay healthy. But Jared Goffs
played pretty good football. And Detroit's a three and a
half point underdog against a rookie quarterback making his first
ever NFL start. I get that it's the Lions, and
I get that it's the Patriots, and I get that
Matt Patricia is gonna have a red ass he in
his ex I get all of that, But I also

(51:38):
understand that Jared goff is much better than Bailey's Appy
because we have no idea what Bailey's Appy is and
Goffs played pretty good football. And by the way, just
between you and I, something I've been pointing out for
several months here on Fox Sports Radio that people locally
in l a don't want to admit to Jared Goff's

(51:58):
better than Matt Stafford right now. But don't let anybody
tell you that. Don't let them tell you that they're there.
They want to try and spin the narrative the other way,
like they were trying to spin the m v P
for Stafford narrative. But nonetheless, I like the Lions here.
This might be the first time in the history of
Knox Locks that I've actually been on the Detroit Lions.

(52:20):
But they're getting points on the road against a quarterback
who's never started an NFL game. Way too much value there.
I'll take Detroit Seahawks. Said Saints. This is another one
I don't understand. Why is New Orleans the New Orleans Saints,
who have been bad all year long? Why are the
Saints five and a half point favorites. First of all,

(52:44):
Jamis Winston's not starting. It's Andy Dalton. Now, whether or
not that's enough grade, I have no idea. And look,
they looked okay at times, but Michael Thomas is also
out and has anybody paid close enough attention. We're all
talking about how bad Russell Wilson has looked. Have you
seen how good Geno Smiths looked. He's been fantastic. He's
been fantastic, And so you mean to tell me even

(53:06):
though it's an early time slot and that's been dreadful
according to a lot of people. When it comes to
the Seahawks that they should be getting five to five
and a half points on the road against the Saints
and Andy Dalton, I'm not buying it. Give me the points.
I'll take the Seattle Seahawks, Eagles, that Cardinals. What do
you know again, it's our friends, the Arizona Cardinals who

(53:27):
are making another appearance. I'm telling you, man. I refuse
to turn my back on Cliff and Kyler. I refused
to I know Philadelphia is the best team in the league.
I know we're looking at Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray
and all this stuff, and everybody seems to be intertwined.
And it's Oklahoma, this Oklahoma that just like it was
last week with Baker Mayfield. I get all that. It's
all fun. I refuse to acknowledge that my preseason pick

(53:50):
of the Arizona Cardinals winning the NFC West was a
bad pick. I'm not doing it. I refused to be
accountable and as long as they keep getting points like
they've been getting all season long. I love the Arizona
Cardinals again getting points at home. There are a five
point underdog. You could probably shop around and see it
at some different odds somewhere else. You could probably look

(54:11):
around and see it at five and a half. I've
seen finding five and a half to five all over
the place. Whatever it is. I like Arizona and it
would not surprise me if they want that game out right.
And that is your Week five edition of Knox Locks.
It's called Perseverance, It's called never given up My Arizona Cardinals.

(54:36):
I'm telling you, I like all those. I'm getting points
in every matchup. A couple of them don't make any sense.
We're either going three and oh or we're going on
and three. I called my shot right there. Jonas Knox
Fox Sports Radio. You can get me on Twitter at
the Jonas knocks as we come to you live here
from the Tract dot Com Studios. All right, so coming
up next, we could see the potential return of a

(54:57):
superstar in the NFL, and I don't get it. I'll
tell you who he is right here on FS are
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with
us as always on the I Heart Radio app. Coming
up a little over ten minutes from now, there's an
interesting situation that is taking place in multiple locations in

(55:21):
the National Football League. It's very interesting. It's very interesting
how this stuff is working out. Some teams that find
themselves in a place they never thought they'd find themselves.
And we will get to that coming up here again
ten minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio. By the way,
we do want to let you know, and this is
a friendly reminder. And I don't know anybody that doesn't

(55:41):
gamble on sports. If you don't, you're a loser. I
don't know what to tell you that. I'm trying to
be as polite as possible here. And if you're not
looking at places to give you the great advice and
to give you something to look forward to and something
to make a little bit of money on, you need
to be looking here at Fox Sports Radio. Because football

by bet MGM Brian Knowing the guys do a fantastic job.

(56:29):
It's always a good listen to make sure you check
those guys out every single weekend here on Fox Sports Radio. Alright,
so let's get into this because I do think this
is interesting. I never understood why we continue to look
back on one season and one sample size and continue
to try and build the momentum and the case for

(56:52):
one player in the NFL. Is it me or does
it seem like Josh Gordon has gotten more opportunities in
any play or in the history of the league. And
for some reason, it's still news like every time Josh
Gordon signs just somebody, it pops up somewhere like it's
it's it's weird, it's like somehow like Joshua And because

(57:13):
everybody goes back to hey, that one season, it's almost
like Carson Wentz that one season he was almost an
m v P. It's like, wait, what but he wasn't. Yeah,
but he almost was if he hadn't gotten hurt, all right,
And I don't know, like I almost was a woman,
but my dad turned one way the in another direction.

(57:34):
I don't have to tell you, like I don't know,
Like who do you want me explain this? There's a
lot of what ifs I don't know, Like what if
what if I became a weatherman? I don't know, me
I get sucked up at a tornado like the movie Twister,
like the guy Jonas and Twister. I have no idea.
What if? Well, what if Carson Wentz didn't get hurt?
But he did, so he's not he didn't win the

(57:56):
m v P. Well if Josh Gordon wasn't suspended all
those times because a marijuana use, it okay, but he
was and he did have that good year. But we
like it continues to go on and on and on,
like it just seems like every year Josh Gordon's getting
an opportunity. Well, there's a new Josh Gordon in the
NFL and his name is Odell Beckham Jr. I don't

(58:20):
get it. I I really don't get it. I I
honest to God, I'm stumped because every single week there's
a story about Odell Beckham Jr. Visiting with this team,
Odell Beckham Jr. Potentially signing with this team, Odell Beckham Jr.
Has interest in these two teams. He's injured, and he's

(58:44):
been injured a lot, and he's a great talent. I
totally get it. But at some point, why is this
even a story? Like the first game of the year,
it's the the season debut of the NFL. It's Bills
and it's Rams. And one of the angles was Odell
Beckham Jr. Seriously considering signing with one of those two

(59:07):
teams and depending on who wins and who's got the
best situation. Wait, what do the Bills need him? Sean
McVeigh talking about, well, we still have his his locker
open and we we would love to have him back,
but it's got to be up to him. Why is
it up to him? He's the one who's injured. What

(59:29):
Why is he calling the shots? Why is it up
to him? Like he went back and forth with Marcus Spears,
who's also an n L s U guy on Twitter,
and they were talking about teams that he would be
interested in, and Odell Beckham Jr. Is like, Oh, the
teams I'd be interested in are the Chiefs, the Packers,
the Rams, the Bills, and the Ravens. Okay, cool. I

(59:52):
don't know. I mean I'd be interested in a ten
million dollar contract. I mean, like, what what else? What
else is the like I'd be interested in and being
able to dunk a basketball one time? I don't know,
like that'd be cool, not happening. I think I just
like this whole thing is weird, Like we've we've completely

(01:00:12):
taken out one in crucial part of the argument, one
cruisier part of the conversation. He's injured and he's not
signed for a reason, but everybody like goes back to
that catch. Like al Michael's is even talking about this.
This was like a couple of weeks ago. I was
listening to the Amazon coverage and al Michael's I was

(01:00:34):
watching the Amazon coverage and he was talking about Odell
Beckham and one of the things that were brought up
is al michael said that he talked to Odell Beckham.
He said, Hey, you know that catch you made on
Sunday Night Football. Was that a blessing or a curse?
And Odell Beckham said it was a little bit of both.
And he's totally right because everybody looked at that catch
and said, oh man, he's the goods. I mean he's

(01:00:57):
he's the goods. And Odell Beckham Jr. Is great talent
and he's had great seasons. But he also, you know,
he had some meltdowns early on in his career. He
through some temper tantrums. He also had you know, he's
been dealing with injuries seemingly every single season, and injury
pops up. Now he's got two two A C L
injuries on the same Like there's all these other things
that are coming up. But like he's making the rounds

(01:01:20):
and he's showing up. The latest is he showed up
to Giants, the Giants facility. He got to New York.
He showed up to the Giants facility, and you know,
he's visiting with everybody, but not really visiting. He's like
he's popping in and out letting everybody know he's there.
It's like, dude, what are we doing here? Brian day
Balls not ruling out the possibility of signing Odell Beckham's like,
why is anybody having to answer these questions? Why is

(01:01:42):
anybody having to talk about this guy? I don't I
don't get it. I don't I don't know what am
I missing? Like it's like the big free agent signing
out there, Like this isn't the MLB trade deadline? Like
nobody like this isn't Juan Soto? Like, God, who's gonna

(01:02:03):
win the Soto sweep steaks? So who's gonna win the
O B J sweep Steaks? What sweep steaks? He's not signed,
he's still injured. Like just like the whole conversation is odd.
It reminds me of the Josh Gordon thing. And I
don't get it. I truly, truly don't get it. Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio, Get me on Twitter, at the

(01:02:23):
Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter and again
you can hang out with us is always on the
I Heart Radio appl Right, it's coming up next. There
is a unique situation taking place in the NFL. Many
of you are not gonna feel sympathy for a couple
of teams in the league because now they realize how
good they had it we'll get into that for you here,
but for all the latest from around the world of sports,

(01:02:44):
ladies and gentle and make some noise for Tennis TV
star the one and only right thank you Jonas for
a unique situation in the NFL to a unique tweet
by Russell Wilson just a few moments ago, of course,
the quarterback for the Broncos. He tweeted, if you're going
through hell, keep going close quote he's referencing a famous

(01:03:04):
line by Winston Churchill. And now we can start to
think what he means by that, and that cryptic message
is certainly going to be talked about. But I know, right,
what is he trying to communicate with that line? That
makes a whole lot of sense? And how he feels
about the team? Yeah, of course. I mean, well, here's
how I feel about the team. They don't look good

(01:03:25):
and you're making TikTok videos with some sub sandwich in
your hands. It looks weird. It just looks weird, dude,
Like I mean, although it could be worse, subways had worse.
Oh gosh, I'm just saying we are hungry. We're hungry
for more. Thank you. That's very kindy, that's a lead
singer Ramstein joining us, thank you appreciate it. So on

(01:03:48):
that note, let's let's try to let's try to find
a comfortable segue into college football, which is not an
idiot those a rise, We love you, though, say. Number
four Michigan right now is owning Indiana twenty four to ten,
five minutes ago in the fourth quarter, and of course
a major point in this game was early in the

(01:04:11):
first half, Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart suffered a
seizure on the sideline. He was taken off in a
stretcher and his status is unknown, but he is being
evaluated at the hospital as we speak. Other games that
are happening right now. Number eight Tennessee is just fly
Swaanning winning convincingly right now, and they are taking down

(01:04:34):
a team in number twenty five l s U. And
that one thirteen last check as the Tigers ground game
has been non existence, this one going final number seventeen
or ranked TCU and again at forty thirteen Tennessee game
just wrapped up, but seventeen ranked TCU. It proves to

(01:04:54):
five and oh on the season for the first time
since twenty seventeen, after they've held off a number nineteen
ca ends his team thirty one to twenty four. Now,
this was a game where Jalen Daniels, the star quarterback
for the Jayhawks, had to come out of this with
an apparent shoulder injury and they brought in Jason Bean.
He had four touchdown tosses and there was a suspect

(01:05:17):
or a call that was questionable and that it could
have been a pass interference penalty against the Longhorns. Excuse me,
the horn Frog secondary late. Anyway, it's a win for
the horn Frox regardless elsewhere. Texas bombarding Oklahoma forty nine
to nothing. That's the largest shutout at home in Norman

(01:05:40):
for the Sooners in school history. Number twenty three. Mississippi
State is taking care of business as they are all
up in on Arkansas. That game is in the fourth
quarter as well. Last check thirty four seventeen. I want
to mention jonas former Arkansas wide receiver in Traylan Burke's
being placed on injury reserve, meaning he is out for

(01:06:03):
a minimum of four weeks, and there is baseball happening.
I guess nobody would know, but the Rais and Guardians
are scoreless in the tenthening. It's five hits combined in
that one. So what a snoozer that is. Cleveland is
up a game in that Ale wild card matchup. And
by the way, Jonas thirty one was the final score

(01:06:24):
for the horn Frox. I want to make sure I
correct myself there. So Kansas falls for the first time,
and they nearly had it. There was a questionablecall at
the end, could have been pass interference. A Jayhawk receiver
was held turnover on downs. Horn Frogs win on the road.
Disappointing this, yeah, disappointing for everybody, but TCU fans betters

(01:06:45):
not disappointing for them. Thank you, Brian. It is Jonas
Knox here Fox Sports Radio. By the way, we are
gonna have another edition of the Scraps coming up in
about twelve minutes from now. Somebody's trying to put a
damper on your NFL really negative, you know, borderline insulting.
You will hear from that somebody coming up again twelve
minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way,

(01:07:06):
we do want to let you know about Charlotte's Web.

(01:07:28):
Not available in Idaho or South Dakota. By the way, Iowa, Sam,
your thoughts on Oklahoma's dismal performance against Texas. Oklahoma more
like Smoke Oklahoma. Oh my god, it's just the old

(01:07:51):
schools showtime at the Apollo Sandman to come out with
the hook puns of fun with Iowa Sama is back, folks.
More like l s pH jeez, that's Arkansas more all right,
That's all I got. Thank you, thank you. I wish
I wish you would have stopped four times ago. Now,

(01:08:12):
although we did, we did talk about this early. If
there was a weed shop in Oklahoma, Smoke Oklahoma would
be a good name for correct. I think that would
be the spot, right, like if there was if somebody
had a potch, you know, like uh, you know, if
Chris Plank was interested in opening up one of those establishments,
the great Chris Plank, Smoke Lahoma would be the place
to go. I'm telling you man just thinking of ideas

(01:08:34):
idea guys here on the show. All right, let's I
want to point this out though quickly before we before
we get to break, and we are going to have
again somebody who's trying to ruin your NFL that coming
up in about twelve minutes from now. So I'm going
to read off some records in the NFL right now.
I had I had a mentor tell me years ago, stories,

(01:08:55):
not stats. I'm not gonna read off any stats. I'm
just gonna read off some simple numbers and do some
full math on the air. Right, And there's a common
theme here with all of them. Right, one in three,
one in three, one in three. Right, those are the

(01:09:17):
records of the Patriots, Steelers, and Saints through four weeks
of the season. So those franchises are a combined three
and nine to start the year. When is the last
time in your lifetime you can recall the Patriots, Steelers,

(01:09:39):
and Saints in Unison being this bad? I don't know.
I don't either, Bill, you know what I do know? Though,
they all got something in common life without a franchise quarterback.
Now they get to see how everybody else lives. It's
like bringing your buddy over who's got a bunch of

(01:09:59):
money over to your place. And he shocked when he
opens up the fridge and sees a slice of cheese
that's got enough mold on it that it could get up,
walk out, start the car and drive off if it
wanted to. He can't figure out why your toilet seat

(01:10:24):
goes down that fast because it's not one of those
slow moving toilet seats that stops on its own. I
never seen one of those before. Why does it go
down so fast? Gotta be careful. It's not the gated
communities anymore. He asked for a bottle of water, and
he is stunned. Went on the side of the bottle

(01:10:44):
of water, it says, great value. Can't figure it out.
Hey man, good morning. Wanna bull won a bowl of cereal? Yeah?
You got any cheerios? No? But I got toasted os
and it's in a bag. Oops. Now all of these
teams like New England and Pittsburgh and New Orleans that
had Hall of Fame franchise quarterbacks for years and years

(01:11:08):
and years is getting to see what life on the
other side is like. Now you see what it's like.
We've never seen this You've never seen New England, Pittsburgh,
and New Orleans be this bad at the same time. Honestly,
when's the last time the eighties, maybe we're talking about

(01:11:28):
from early two thousands on, you could always count on
the Patriots being a playoff team, the Steelers being a
playoff team, New Orleans being a playoff team. When the
preseason Super Bowl odds came out, they were always near
the top. People were always picking them. You never saw this,
but now you do. Because New England's trying to identify

(01:11:51):
a franchise quarterback. Back Jones is banged up right now.
Who knows Pittsburgh might have a guy they drafted him.
It's Kenny pick a time, but their four team point
underdog to Buffalo tomorrow. New Orleans is still trying to
figure out what the hell to do without Drew Brees.
You've never seen this before, but it's an example that
you don't realize what you got until it's gone. And

(01:12:12):
now all of those fan bases are looking around the league, going,
we get it now. Now we know what it's like
to be a Bear fan. We get it now, we
understand Jets fans are apologies. Now we get it now,
We understand what life on the other side is. Like

silo near you. You don't like I came back with
anthrax that it's just fun to be negative. There's come on,
we're just busting balls here. People Stop being so sensitives.

(01:14:03):

it's time for this Jonas, how could you not get to?

(01:14:50):
These stories are the scraps? And for that we turn
it over to the man with the best pipes in radio,
Danny g to see what we missed. Danny, are speaking
of negativity, Let's talk about Tom Brady. You know, the
Buccaneers are one of the team's at five. Do you
think it's parody that word you love to toss around

(01:15:11):
on sports talk radio? I mean, well he didn't think that.
And this is what Brady said. I think there's a
lot of bad football from what I watch. You know,
I watch a lot of bad football, a lot of
poor quality of football. That's what I see. Yeah, all right,
so don't watch. So I'm tired of this. Don't watch.
Let like, if there's bad basketball, and you know what

(01:15:32):
I do, I don't watch. Like you have options, don't watch.
I think everyone complaining the other night about that game,
I get it. That game wasn't the most exciting game
on Thursday night but you know what you got free football.
It was free all right. You got over time, you
got storylines, you got conversations. It was interesting. They did
like almost ten million viewers according to Amazon. Don't even

(01:15:53):
know how they calibrate that with that, with that app
and having to take all the steps to even get
to the game to watch it. But it's just like
everyone's come planning about the quality of football, the quality
of football, all right, don't watch like you gotta there's options.
Watch something else. There's there's a you know, go watch
that Damer show. Learn about a guy in Milwaukee who
kept you know, pieces of bodies and then the freezer.

(01:16:16):
Go watch that. So I'm so tired of watching Denver
in Indianapolis kick field goals. Okay, turn on Netflix, go
to the Dahmer special and see how that guy in
his fruit basket has an atom's apple in a trade chea.
Go do that guy's got a human end in there?
Go do that they did life in Milwaukee. Tired of

(01:16:36):
packer football, go right across the state, go go right
over to Milwaukee and watch a guy cut people up
and then have everyone try and blame his childhood for it.
Watch that. I got a thing about dead bodies. He doesn't.
That's an or durb Sorry you can eat he certainly can. Uh,

(01:17:00):
that's going on here. So yeah, that's my thought. And
so you know, you got options out there. People bitching
about football. Come on, everyone's gonna be crying in April
and May when we got no football to watch. And
and never mind the fact that we just went through
a pandemic and there was nothing to watch. You don't
want to go back to those days? All right, Like
you get there. There there are things out there, at
least for us to be entertained by. That's all I

(01:17:23):
got to say. There's no easy transition to this story.
Did you ever watch Entourage on HBO? Yeah, I dabbled
in it. Great show. Do you remember the episode when
Billy Walsh gave Vince a fake Dick Cheney to pass
his drug test. I've I've heard about it. Yea happened

(01:17:45):
in real life in the sports world. The headline lamar
Odom wanted to win gold so bad he used a
fake blank to pass a drug test for the Olympics.
I mean he won bronze. Okay, No, you gotta do
what you gotta do. I mean, it's not as elaborate
as like the rushing do the Russia doping scandal back

(01:18:08):
in the in the Olympics, or like in cycling back
of the day where they were like sneak into like
the room where all the urine was, and like there
was a way that they could open the bottle without
it being looked like it was opened and replaced the urine.
This just seems like the old go to a comics
store or or a magic store. Rather not a comic store,

(01:18:29):
you probably couldn't find that there, but go to a
magic shop and uh, you know there's a there's a
fake crank there, and you pick that up with a
with a nice whoopee cushion and you're on your way.
By the way, they use these plastic tubes, they ca
thank you. This article asks what's more embarrassing being caught

(01:18:50):
with fake pink junk, buy an official in the restroom
or winning bronze. That's a good point. I mean probably
on listen, there's a lot of fake going on in
this world. I don't know if anybody knows that there's
a lot of fakes out there. And you can get
a fake, you can get calf implants, all right, I

(01:19:11):
got veneers there. Those are fake, Like I'm walking around
with teeth that are made out of, like what toilets
are made out of, That's what my teeth are made
out of. I'm not here to judge some guy using
a fake crank because he wants to try and win
a gold medal. I'm not here to judge. Maybe you
guys want to be judgemental. I refused to be not
on this show, and that is how you stick the

(01:19:32):
landing on a Saturday sports stock radio show. Son of
a Bit
