Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I hope you had better stop from the beginning. Jonas Knocks,
you thought you knew me, You didn't know a thing
about me. He's crazier than a else. Wrecked that guy,
Jonas Knocks, You heard me, Brien.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Some darkness is lighting up your speakers to establish an
alibi for the day. No Live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios. Here's Jonas Knox.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Y Okay, I'll recording this world. Well, it could be

(00:48):
the beginning of the end. I think it is if
you ask me, But not for the reason you're thinking of.
We'll get into that coming up here in just a
couple of moments from now. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio.
You can listen on. This show is always on the
iHeartRadio app. You can find us on hundreds of affiliates
all across the country and wherever you are making us
a part of your Saturday morning into the afternoon. We

(01:10):
appreciate you doing so. We'll be taking you all the
way up until four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific.
And we must start with what became official a short
time ago. It is a done deal. Aaron Rodgers officially
signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He passed his physical. It's

(01:35):
a one year deal thirteen million dollars in change up
to nineteen million dollars with incentives, and he does hold
true to his word. He said he'd be willing to
pay for ten play for ten MS ten million dollars,
and that is the total in guarantees. So it's basically
a one year, ten million dollar contract with an opportunity

(01:55):
to get more of its incentives and so on and
so forth. And so the thought on this is, yeah,
I mean, we kind of all expected this to happen. Yeah.
The interesting little wrinkle in all this is that, according
to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, who had a report out

(02:16):
earlier today, it was Mike Tomlin who was pushing for
the signing of Aaron Rodgers. Mike Tomlin was the guy
pushing for this, Okay, So considering all the options that
were out there, all the options and the directions the
Steelers could have taken, Mike Tomlin was the guy that

(02:38):
was at the forefront of making the decision to go
out and sign Aaron Rodgers. They have a great relationship.
It's part of the appeal for Aaron Rodgers. And so
when you know about the different things the Steelers could
have done and instead choosing this. What that tells me
is that Mike Tomlin's days in Pittsburgh a numbered and

(03:01):
not really from a Well, what do you think Aaron
Rodgers isn't gonna play well? No, I think Rogers played
pretty well last year. To be honest with you, I
think he got better down the stretch. A lot of
people have called me, uh, an Aaron Rodgers apologist. Dare
I say, an Aaron Rodgers ball washer? Okay, And I
will just simply point this out. You're gonna miss that

(03:24):
guy when he's gone. He's provided you plenty of content,
so let's not bite the hand that feeds us. Everybody.
He's provided a wealth of content over the past couple
of years for various reasons out there, whether it was
him unized and I'm good with it. And it's got
nothing to do with the fact that I may or

(03:46):
may not have been featured in Aaron Rodgers Netflix documentary.
And by featured, I mean sound from our show during
the week was played in the documentary and I didn't
even know it until somebody let me know that it
was on there. I had no idea. But the point is,
you look at this and you go, well, Mike Thomins
Day's renumber, why if you think Rogers are going to
play well? What is that? What that tells me is

(04:07):
that Mike Tomlin looked at the landscape of the NFL.
He looked at the landscape of his team, and here
are his choices. You could do what you did last
year in one way or another. You could bring back
Russell Wilson, who's got familiarity with the system, but apparently
him and Arthur Smith the OC didn't see eyed eye.

(04:30):
Or if you don't want to go a veteran route,
you could have brought back Justin Fields. Everybody there loved
Justin Fields. In fact, there were people there. According to
Albert Breer and some others, there were people in Pittsburgh
that were upset because Justin Fields wasn't given the opportunity
to start games down the stretch when the Steelers were struggling.
People liked him, they wanted him there, they liked it

(04:53):
was completely different with Russell Wilson. So instead of going
veteran with familiarity in the system, in Russell Wilson, and
if we're being honest, the numbers between Russell Wilson and
Aaron Rodgers when they were playing not that far off
last year. So instead of going that direction, instead of
going the youth that you had in the building direction,

(05:15):
you would think, Okay, well maybe they go through the draft. Nope,
they had opportunities Shad Or Sanders. Was there other quarterbacks there?
They only addressed it later on when they took Will
Howard and then they brought back Mason Rudolph. So there
was decisions that were made about the quarterback process in

(05:36):
Pittsburgh that all led up to Aaron Rodgers. And all
of that tells me that Mike Tomlin looked around and said, hey, man,
I probably don't have a whole hell of a lot
of time here. Whether it's induced by the Steelers in
wanting to force me out or push me out or
might it's just kind of run its course. So if
I'm going out, I'm going out on my terms, and

(05:57):
I'm not going to waste any time, and I'm not
going to sit here and try and make it work
with a risky proposition a young quarterback. We tried that
with Kenny Pickett, failed miserably. Whether it was Picket's fault,
the Steelers fault, whatever didn't work. They've been trying to
find an answer since Ben Roethlisberger left, and I think

(06:21):
Mike Tomlin looked around, thought about all the possibilities, all
the free agents, the guys in the building, the young
players in the draft, the players that they could have had,
and said, I'd rather just go with somebody I know
and trust than somebody I don't. And maybe he's at
the end of his career and maybe he's nowhere close
to the quarterback that he was, but I'd rather go

(06:43):
with what my eyes have seen as opposed to yeah,
we'll take a chance. I think Mike Tomlin realizes he
doesn't have a whole lot of time there, whether it's
the Steelers that are saying you gotta go or Tim saying, listen,
it's run its course. I'm going to go do and
make a gazillion dollars because I'm fantastic at doing the
media stuff. Whatever it is. There's been more and more

(07:07):
speculation about their inability to win games in the playoffs,
Mike Tomlin as he lost the locker room, do they
need a new voice, etc. Etc. And I think Mike
Tomlin just looked at it and said, if I'm going out.
I'm going out the way I want to somebody like me,
a veteran that I trust, who I've seen do amazing
things in this league, who won his Super Bowl against

(07:30):
me to get his only ring, and I'll take my
chances of that. I'd rather go that direction than any
of the other options that were out there. I'm gonna
roll the dice, spin the chamber, whatever you want to
call it, and I'm just gonna let it fly. And
either we go out with Rogers having a resurgent year
and doing great things like he used to, or I'm

(07:52):
out of here and none of it matters. Anyway. I
think this is Mike Tomlin's way of saying, give me
a partner in crime. I want to go out guns blazing.
Here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox on X
at the Jonas Knox on X and you can hang
out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app. By
the way, you can also follow along on the Instagram
page at Jonas Knox Show on IG So. I was

(08:13):
thinking about this. One of the perks about finding a
great album or a great station, like if you go
to iHeart right now, there's this thing called artist Radio,
right you can go to the artist Radio tab and
you can click the tab and type in a band.

(08:33):
And so I was actually earlier today I typed in
Stone Temble Pilots And basically what it is is going
to play you all similar music to that. And what's
great about that is that you don't have to worry
about like, oh, you know I need this this band,
I like a particular song from this album. I like
a particular song from that album. I like, you know,

(08:55):
but I've got to mix them together and you gotta
like piece it. No, No, you just throw on something
like that, and no matter what it is, you're gonna
get a good song for the most part. Like if
you're playing the averages, are you do you want to
like sit and nickel and dine with like a song
here and a song No, No, you're just throwing a
good station. And if it's a good station like what
iHeart has when you go to Artists Radio, you'll just

(09:17):
listen to great songs. You don't have to dictate it.
You don't have to. You just know what. You're gonna
get a great song almost every single time. And that's
kind of like what the NHL playoffs are like, because
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm like, man,
what is the appeal with the NHL play other than
the fact that the games are great for the most part.

(09:39):
But you've got a Stanley Cup Final, you got the Panthers,
and you got the Oilers, one team from South Florida
and another team from Canada. Have you met an Edmonton
Oilers fan, be honest, not from Edmonton or not from Canada,

(10:00):
because I haven't. Have you met a Florida Panthers fan,
not from Florida? I have not either. Nope. Yet For
some reason, those two teams have put on two classics.
And it's not just a Panthers thing. It's not just
an Oiler's thing. It's an NHL thing. You don't need

(10:22):
to have. Well, I got to pick this team from
here and that it doesn't matter. It could be the
Penguins in the Canucks. It wouldn't matter because the NHL
playoffs are like artist radio. They're like a music station
that curates just the best songs that you like, and
every single time you put it on, you're getting a hit.

(10:44):
Every time I got news for you. That series is
one apiece. Do you really actually believe there's not going
to be another overtime game there. If you were betting
right now, what would you say, is that game gonna
end in five or more likely go seven. And you've
got most people who can't name two three players on
either team. You got most people that say, well, they're

(11:08):
called the Florida Bay the Florida Panthers. Where do you
think they're from? I don't know, Jacksonville, I don't know,
doesn't matter. Hey, what's part of Canada' is Edmonton in?
I don't know, Quebec. Sure that works, doesn't matter. Throw
it in, Go to the station, go to Artist radio

(11:31):
if you will, and just type in NHL Playoffs, and
every single one that comes up as a banger everyone.
It never fails. We are two games in to the
Stanley Cup Final, and I can assure you, even if
you don't have a rooting interest, even if you have
no idea what, who's playing what, just throw it on
and you're gonna get a classic, guaranteed almost every single time.

(11:54):
Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox
on X and you can listen to this show as
always on the iHeartRadio app. All right, so we're gonna
have the usuals coming up later on, we do have
another edition of Do You Care. We are also going
to have the Scraps. The Great Andy Furman is gonna
stop by because he's got some thoughts on the Belmont,
and we're going to also bust his balls for no

(12:17):
showing this show a couple of weeks back. I'll explain
when he comes on, so we'll have fun with fur
Bag an hour two of the program. All of it
is yours here on this two hour extravaganza up next
here though, I mean, listen, it looks great from the outside,
It looks calm from the outside. But lo and behold,
there's a situation in sports that's kind of a mess.

(12:39):
I'll tell you what it is. Next Boom touch us
for Jonas Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. Coming up. We'll
call it a little over ten minutes from now. I
saw an idiot earlier today. Let me guess somebody there's like, oh,

(13:00):
you looked in the mirror. No, I sign an idiot, literally,
an idiot earlier today. And I'd like to get into
that because I feel like it happens often, and I
think I could be of help to people out there.
This is somebody that you see all the time all
the time. You might even been this idiot before. But
we will get into who the idiot is coming up

(13:21):
here a little over ten minutes from now.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
No, it's not fair, that is reckless. That is a
Parker no comment. All right. So I'm marvel at people
that can hide things, you know, like they're able to

(13:45):
really really hide the chaos. I really do like I
marvel at that because I do think it's a skill.
Like we mentioned the Steelers signing Aaron Rodgers and its
official one of the most impressive aspects of the pit Steelers,
which I think is probably appealing to Rogers, is the
fact that they don't let leaks get out. Leaks don't

(14:07):
get out of Pittsburgh. There's not a lot of stories
that you get from drama or anything like that. You'll
hear rumblings of stuff, you never quite hear anything. Usually
they just part ways with the player and then you
find out afterwards, Oh, that was a disaster. Wow, that's
a disaster Antonio Brown. I mean, people kind of had

(14:30):
a thought that maybe there was something going on there,
Like he leaves a game, he's in a mink coat,
and then you go yeah, But there was also a
practice during the week he fired a ball at Ben Roethlisberger,
and then you just see how everything played out there,
and you go, oh, yeah, hey, no leaks, though not
a lot got out. George Pickens gets dealt. All of

(14:54):
a sudden, you find out he got fined how much
last year he may or I may not have showed
up like twenty minutes before a game and he was
eating Twizzlers and said, I got caught in traffic. Okay,
then you start fighting out all the other situation that
took place Kenny Pickett. They just decided, hey, we got

(15:16):
to move on from Kenny Pickett. It's time, we got
to get out of here. We've got to move on
from Kenny Pickett. And there were rumblings. Mark Madden, one
of the great sports radio hosts in the country, one
of the great sports radio hosts of all time. Mark Madden,
the super genius in Pittsburgh, pointed out to everybody, Yeah,
you know, Kenny Pickett could have played in a game,

(15:37):
or could have suited up. He decided not to. No,
that didn't happen. That didn't happen. Well, okay, they sure
did get rid of him. Quick though. Some organizations are
really good at hiding it, really good. Even their own
fan base falls for it. And I got to give
credit where credit is due. The New York Knicks dynamite job.

(16:05):
Dynamite job in getting people to believe that things were
on the rise there, dynamite job. Soles sold their fan
base hook line and sink, or just reeling them in,
just reeling them in. They're close, They're close. It's a

(16:31):
brand new era. It's no longer the Knicks you grew
up with. Yeah, and then you open the door and
you go, ooh boy, what a mess. Now they want
to talk with Jason Kidd. They're going to talk to
Jason Kidd about potentially being the head coach there. Or

(16:53):
is it Jalen Brunson's dad? Is it him? Or are
there players who are upset about his involvement? Or was
that Karl Anthony Towns's defensive inabilities? Or was it so
like there's a lot going on there. It doesn't seem
like a team that was two wins away from the

(17:15):
NBA Finals, does it? Upon further review, you fired Tom Thibodeaux, Well,
he got out coached. Which series the two he won
or the one he lost. Yeah, but this had been
in the works, you think. So basically this cell job

(17:39):
that you were given, this bill of goods that you
were given about their close brand new Nicks. First time
they've done this in all garbage. It was all crap,
all of it. It's the same old, same old. They
just did a better job of disguising it. They did

(18:01):
a better job of disguising it. It's one of the
things that you got to give credit to Chuck E
Cheese for. You ever notice this? And I noticed it
because I worked there. You ever notice right before you
walk into Chuck E Cheese it might be the quietest
place on earth. Right before you walk in, you get

(18:23):
to the doors, maybe there's a little tint. You see
a goofy little mouse picture on the logo out in
front of the place, few cars in the parking lot.
You go to open the door, and you don't realize
that once you open that door, it's the last time
you're gonna hear birds chirping, because the second you do,

(18:44):
you open it up and there's a wave of snot
and germs and urine and screaming and violence and booze
and toys and stuffed and filth that just pours into
you and you're looking around going but ten feet away,

(19:13):
everything seemed peaceful, good shade in the parking lot, birds
are chirping. You got people just walking peacefully across the
street to get to where they need to go. No issues,
no drama, no problems, and all of that ends the
second you open the doors. The second you open the

(19:36):
doors inside the chucky cheese of the NBA, the New
York Nicks, you realized, oh my god, this place is
a complete disaster. Hilarious. I mean, you've still got placards
with players' names on it all over the streets. Remember

(20:01):
I was the a hole. Okay, I was the a
hole and the killjoy for simply pointing out that it
seemed really odd that they were celebrating the way that
they were celebrating after getting past the second round. I
was the a hole. I got buried. You don't get it.
You don't understand. You don't, dude. I grew up a

(20:21):
Cubs fan. What do you mean I don't understand. All
we knew was heartbreak Bartman, while the rest of you
were cutting him some slack and saying, hey, man, gotta
welcome him back. If that guy walked in to a
restaurant I was in. I would call the cops and

(20:43):
say he just threatened everybody, he might have a gun
on him, just to see him get arrested for a minute.
And then ultimately I would get arrested because his false
charges and all that, and I made a false claim.
But the point is, I just want to see some
sort of punishment something. Don't tell me, Oh, you don't
get it, man, you don't understand. You didn't grow No, No,

(21:05):
I did. Okay, one hundred years of that, I got it.
But the problem is the Cups finally did celebrate because
they actually did win a world series. The Knicks got
past the second round, and you had people snorting tuscy

(21:25):
off a billboard in Manhattan. You got some guy getting
all twazzled out on whatever you found underneath a cardboard
box around the corner of the arena, and then he
swims out and tries to look underneath the Statue of
Liberties dress. I've told you these people are weardos. And
then you open the doors and you go, oh god,

(21:46):
that's why. Now I get it. So I just want
to commend the New York Knicks as a franchise for
the perception they gave you. You know, quiet parking lot. Man,
Everything's going to be good. It's a different time there.
And then you open up the doors to the Chuck
E Cheese and you realize the next two hours of

(22:07):
my life are going to be filled with spending too
much money and sanctioned violence on adults from kids who
have to have that whood Bee cushion for thirty five
hundred tickets or else they're going to throw a fit
when they get in the car. Jonas Knox. Here Fox

just ask him the one and only Isaac Lonkraft.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
And in the NFL, Jonas someone who has a comparable
ego to me and my estimation Aaron Rodgers. He has
officially passed his physical and has officially signed a one year,
thirteen million dollar contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers and will
address the media for the first time as a Steeler
after their first mini camp practice on Tuesday. How are

(23:55):
Steelers fans reacting to this news now.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
That it's official.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Well, let's check the comments section on the Steelers official
tweet announcing the deal at Brennan VC comment in quote
nine to eight never looked so good at Gudicce Girard
remarking quote quote me, it's gonna be a friggin' disaster,

(24:19):
and finally at Kyle one nine three nine three nine,
posting he's ready to ruin the season now. In fact,
jonas you I take it, of course, have your social
media console in front of you and your command center.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Is that correct?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
All right?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
I want you to go to the Steelers official tweet
at Steelers, and I just want your thoughts on the
picture of Aaron Rodgers as I read these next couple
of comments about that tweet.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
First of all, as you know, if you remember, by
the way, if you remember, we tried this last week
looking for a tweet, and you guys sent me down
a dark path of like a tennis fight or something
like that. Yeah, but that was on purpose, just to
this is a hit, all right, So this is I'm
looking at done deal Aaron Rodgers twelve. Okay.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
First of all, do you notice he is wearing what
appears to be a black wedding ring on his left hand. Okay,
Now I'm gonna read a couple of more comments, and
I want to get your reaction. At Stick's one City,
Carter commenting quote, Jesus, he looks old, and at Platinum
Triolo adding, did we have to make him look like

(25:27):
a crack addict.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Jesus in this pick what your thought? One of those
are from Stick City Carter LeVar set that in No
there he's Stick City Carter. Jesus, he looks old.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
And it was Platinum Triolo who claimed that he looked
like a crack addict.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Your thought Jesus, All right now, I think so too.
And by the way, it's also the flash of the camera,
you know, the kind of you know, message with your eyes.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
A little bit.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, listen, I've seen a crackhead or two. No, he
doesn't fit the bill. I mean he looks healthy to me. Hyeh,
look Finney.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
By the way, he's in his forties, been playing football
for you know, twenty five years. What if people expect
they expect me to look young in spry, I mean, like,
to me, he looks like a Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback. Nothing flashy,
there's got on it. He's gotten on a black Steeler hat,
he's got a black possible wedding ring to boot, and
he's wearing a gray zip up sweater like that. That

(26:24):
shows me a guy who's not all about the flash.
He's not coming in in some leather jacket with a
removable hood and like two thousand dollars shoes. He looks
like a Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback. And by the way, he
looks like a Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback who's actually like done
something in the league, which has been a while since
they've had that. So true.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
All right, So Jonas Knox with expert photo analysis coming
up later frame three thirteen of the Zapruder film. Anyway, Today,
twenty one year old American Coco Goff won the French
Open Ladies singles title.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Hey, Jonas, have you ever heard tennis play by play
on the radio only when Brian Fenley does it? Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:00):
All right, well, here is how match points sounded today
on radio Roland Garros from Gigi Salmon listen.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Championship points at five to four, serve down the tee,
the forehand from Sabalanca, the forehead from golf. This is
a short mid court bowl of foard into the corner.
She wants the forehand era she hasn't got it. Chops
out of Satellinca.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Thely misjudge at Sablanca's to be sent with the backhand
cross because.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
She's lists go do some and golf. He's the champion
in Paris.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Your thoughts on tennis on the radio from it, GGI Salmon.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Sounded like they're calling a horse race. It was, it was.
It was rather impressive. I'd like, if you h it's
like the last uh you know, last quarter mile of
a of a horse race. If you just play the
fast part again where they speed it up real quick,
it's down the stretch they come exactly, That's exactly what
it sounded like.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Baseball, the Philadelphia Affiliates today plays Bryce Harper on the
ten day injured list with right wrist inflammation. The Los
Angeles Dodgers play starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin on the injured
list with right elbow discomfort. Right now, the Cubs have
a four to one lead at Detroit in the top
of the seventh, Toronto up one nothing in Minnesota, top
of the second. Dodgers and Cardinals scoreless in the top
of the second. Speaking of discomfort, back to you, Isaac, don't.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Go anywhere because I want to get I have to
because I saw Moron earlier today and it wasn't me. No, okay,
and it wasn't me either. There's nobody on the show.
I see this from time to time, and I just
don't get it. And I don't think I've ever done this.
I might have, I don't recall doing it, but I
think I would remember something like this. So I'm at

(28:38):
a stoplight and I'm waiting for the light to turn
green so that I can go left, and there's somebody
coming from my left. The light's clearly yellow and turning red,
and it turns red too late before they can even
think about going or else it would have gotten in
that accident. They would have t boned me, but it
didn't get close to that. But the thing I marveled

(28:59):
at was this complete moron who went so far past
the line that he was basically in the intersection and
then just stayed there until his light eventually turned green,
I'm assuming, and then went didn't even think to like, hey,
there's nobody behind me, let me back up behind the line.
I'm just gonna sit here and play it off like

(29:19):
I didn't just try and run a red light and
then decide halfway through, naw, I'm not into this anymore
and just stay there. And I guess he didn't think
that anybody else noticed as they're trying to drive around him.
Then to then turn left. Well, at some point, either
go or don't go and just back up. But why

(29:42):
sit there and act like nobody saw it. It's like
when you fall public in public and then you don't
want anybody to know that you did it. It's like, dude,
everybody watched, everybody saw. I don't get it. You've never
done that, have you that? But I'm assuming you have
seen that before. Such an la type thing. I mean,
you see those times of tone? Do you know what
I'm talking about?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Every day literally around our building at Fox Sports Radio
is literally the worst example of stupid driving intersection in America.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh my god, Ventura and Sepulvida. Yeah, when when you
the worst is when the people that are so far
out into the middle of the intersection that the cars
that can now go come going straight can't get around
the cars because they're stuck in the middle of the
intersection and they're looking around like what why you honking?
What do you want me to do? Wait your turn?

(30:36):
Like that's the point, No, you don't go, there's no
room for you to go. The light's gonna turn red,
So to stay back there you can't get through anyways,
and they just camp out in the middle of the intersection.
It's like, Oh, Liz, what do you want us to do?
Get out of the way. I don't I don't understand it.
This is simple. I'm not the greatest driver in the world.

(30:57):
I'll admit I'm not the greatest driver in the world.
But Jesus Christ, I don't sit in the intersection and
look around like it's somebody else's fault. I do not
understand it. You saw it again today and I don't
get it.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
You can agree that, and I'm not exaggerating. You won't
have to wait more than two and a half minutes
at the corner of Sepulvida and Ventura before you see
something equivalent to that happen at any time of the day.
And the complete lack of self awareness and consideration for

(31:30):
other human beings.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, just not even like they've got their coffee. I
think this guy was actually had a cigarette. So this
guy's got a lung dart in and he's just hanging
out in the middle of the intersection. It's like, dude,
pick your poison. How do you want to die? You
know what I mean? Like he's got a cancer stick.
He's in the middle of an intersection, and he clearly
isn't paying attention. Like I'll call my shot right now.

(31:53):
I'll call my shot right now. If you go on
the signal or app somewhere in southern California, you're gonna
see that guy feature prominently later today. I'll call my
shot right now.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
I see a big blinking red square with two exclamation
points on each.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Side, and I'm sure it's this guy. You imagine the
headline to that guy with a lung darted and found
in an intersection again like it just like I don't
and maybe it is a California thing. I don't know,
but it is bizarre how people don't realize how inconsiderate
that is. You know.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
You know, I sometimes go on these social media rabbit holes,
like in Russia, every car has like a dashboard camera
and then there's these videos of bizarre Russian motorist behavior.
We got to have one of those here for Sepulvita
and Ventura or drivers of La.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Is what I'm saying. Anybody, like any any anybody or
somebody from FSR. If you go on your lunch break
and you walk over to either Whole Paychecks or El Poyloco,
just like bring out your camera phone and provide us
some content just so people know what we're talking. This
is ridiculous. I mean, it's pure crazy. All right, Thank you, Ilo.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Of time DMS reports.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big stories from
the last week. But Jonas, the real question is do
you care?

Speaker 1 (34:22):
And for that we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benzon to find out what the hell's going on.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Boh yeah, famous movie star, big guy Adam Sandler. He
has agreed to cast a Raven's running back Dereck Henry
in a film if he rushes for over two thousand
yards this season. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Not really, because I do have a feeling that this
is just going to turn into Even if Derrick Henry
doesn't rush for two thousand yards, he's gonna get cast
in an Adam Sandler film. Like I find it hard
to believe that Adam Sandler would just say, oh, listen,
you finished with nineteen hundred and eighty four yards. Nah, sorry, buddy, Naa, no,
you're out. I think somehow, someway, this is a nice

(34:59):
little bridge for Derrick Henry to ultimately at some point
get into an Adam Sandler movie. So that's so.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
I think this is going to play out next the
Atlanta Braves Dfaid future Hall of Famer Craig Kimberl after
just one appearance with the team this year at Jonas.
Do you care?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, so let me get kiss straight. Didn't they bring
him back or didn't they call him up after they
blew some giant lead. I think they gave up seven
runs in the top of the ninth a couple of
days ago, so they call up Kimberl. Was he that
bad in his loan appearance? I didn't even see what
he did in his loan appearance. What happened he.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
May have been. I can't say from watching him with
the Dodgers that he is just that bad now. So yeah,
it's just a tough scene for him there.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
By the way, Craig Kimbrel, like that praying mantis stance
that he has is great though, like and yeah, he
probably is going to be a Hall of Famer. He's
one of the all time Saves leaders. He was fantastic
for a long time, unhittable for a long time. But
it does feel like that that's pretty much a rap
on his career.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Next, former NFL wide receiver Conley has retired in order
to pursue his goal of graduating from film school, which
he will attend it his alma mater, the University of
Georgia Jonas. Do you care?

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Uh, yeah, listen, I love it. By the way, I
did look up Craig Kimberl stat line. I'm going to
read it to you in a sec bone, and you
tell me if this warrants a guy getting DFA. Listen,
this is like I think it was Rishard Mendenhall who
wanted to go be a writer, and he wanted to
write for movies and television. I think he was a
writer on an HBO show. If I'm not mistaken, he

(36:30):
did that as well too. So now you got a
guy who's like, listen, man, I gave it a decade,
I want to go pursue something else, and we go
give it a spin. And the fact that he's not
going to struggle financially because he made a little bit
of money on this start, so he can know he's
got some cash to live on. He can pursue this
all the way. Good for him. Let's go live to
our I have a thought on possibly Craig Kimbrel or

(36:50):
Film School insider Chris Prophet for the latest Chris Film
School Insider Chris Purphett here. Yeah, I was going to
say our own Ephrom Salaam. He's a he's a writer too.
Yeah for list, we love we love Ephram, we love
big Ephram. So yeah, if good for him, and again,
not having to struggle in the business coming up is
going to make things a lot easier. By the way, BO,

(37:11):
check this out. Craig Kimbrol. One inning pitched, he allowed
one hit, one walk, and he had a strikeout and
he got dfad for that. Okay, something must have gone on.
Maybe that was that, So we'll see what else we got.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Bo.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
Former Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is now a position
coach with the Ravens. He confirmed this week that he
has no plan on trying to be a head coach again,
basically saying that it's a lot different when you're actually
in the seat and he doesn't want to do it anymore. So, Jonas,
do you care? Yeah, And let me.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Tell you why. I love it, because I appreciate the
honesty where he basically says unless you've been in that position,
you don't understand the pressure cook that it is. I
like coaching, I don't want to deal with all that
crap again. I went through all that. I did it
for a long time. I was pretty good at it.
I still like coaching, but I don't want to be
the head guy. There's too many coaches in the business

(38:06):
have such an ego that they've got to be the
head coach or nothing else. But Gonod's like, Man, I
love coaching, I just don't want to be the man.
Let me go ahead, coach to the position, coach secondary,
let me be a senior assistant. I know this organization,
I know this franchise. Let me go ahead and hang
out with these guys and do this job. But I'm
good being the main guy. Next.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Commander's wide receiver Terry McLaurin is reportedly frustrated with the
team amid extension talks.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Jonas, do you care, No, because I don't think there's
anything fast. Listen, They're not gonna tray Terry McLaurin. Anybody
that knows Washington, that knows Terry McLaurin, know how valuable
he is to that locker room. They know what he
means to the organization, and if that franchise really has
taken the turn that everybody says it has, they're not
gonna do anything to risk not getting a deal done

(38:52):
and pissing off Terry McLaurin. Everybody loves that dude. He's
produced there for a long time. They finally think they
found their franchise quarterback. They're on the up and up.
That's an organization that is ascending. I find it hard
to believe he's not gonna be.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
There next I think that's an easy under on their
win total there. AMC Theaters has unveiled their special popcorn
bucket for the Fantastic Four. It is a replica of
Galactus's head and it will cost eighty dollars and has
light up led eyes Jonas, Do you care eighty.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Dollars for a popcorn buck Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:24):
And LEDs in the eyes in the movie theater, the
dark movie theater where all the nerves will assuredly spend
eighty dollars on this thing, so you're gonna be watching
it with blue lights surrounding.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
I don't care for eighty dollars for a popcorn bucket,
how much was it? What was it that dirt movie
you got where you had that popcorn bucket that looked
like look like a glory hole, and say, what was
that thing?

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I want to say that was like twenty five bucks.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
I mean, listen, eighty dollars to walk around a mall
afterwards and go, hey, everybody, I spent eighty dollars to
confirm I'm a geek. I mean, you know, we're gonna
have a very special somebody on this show. I'm gonna
ask him the hard hitting questions as well too. That'll
be yours here coming up in just a few moments
from now, Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can find

(40:09):
us on the iHeartRadio app. You can find us on
hundreds of affiliates all across the country. Wherever you are
making us a part of your Saturday afternoon, we appreciate it.
We will be taking you all the way up until
the end of this hour four pm Eastern time, one
o'clock Pacific. Here, as we begin hour two of the program,
we started out the show talking about the news that
is official. Aaron Rodgers has signed his deal with the

(40:32):
Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a one year deal. Thirteen million dollars
in change. Incentives could push it up to nineteen million
dollars in change. But when he said a few weeks
back that he'd be willing to pay for ten MS
or whatever it was, apparently he was telling the truth.
Ten million dollars in guarantees is the deal for Aaron Rodgers.

(40:56):
So it is official. He's a Pittsburgh Steeler. He passes
his physical, he gets his contract sign he will speak
with reporters next week at mini camp. I'm sure that'll
get no coverage whatsoever. And so Aaron Rodgers is your
Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback. And my old point on it was,
this tells me that Mike Tomlin's days are numbered, and

(41:16):
not from the standpoint that it's the Steelers trying to
force him out or anything like that. But I think
Mike Tomlin, because Jeremy Fowler had the report that Mike
Tomlin was the one leading the charge for Aaron Rodgers,
I think Mike Tomlin looked around at all the available
options they had, and they had more than probably people
want to recognize, and just said I'll take my chances.

(41:38):
I'll take my chances. If I'm going out, I'm going
out with something I trust. I've seen that guy play
at a high level. I've seen it before with the
mo Own two eyes. I'm going to go out with
somebody like that, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
If it ends up in a nine and eight season,
or if I end up finishing below five hundred, so
be it. I think he recognizes that he doesn't have

(41:58):
a whole lot of time in Pittsburgh, maybe he doesn't
have a whole lot of time coaching, and he just said,
screw it. I'm going out on my terms and I'll
take my chances with the guy that I've seen play
at his best, a guy that won his only Super
Bowl against me, And I'll roll the dice with that,
and I'm good with it, and I'll live with the results.
I honestly think that's Mike Tomlins thinking because it does

(42:20):
say a lot about what was there last year. You
could have continued on with Justin Fields. You could have.
There was an opportunity there, you could have made the
deal work with Justin Fields. You didn't. You could have
kept Russell Wilson around you didn't. And that's the one
that's most fascinating, is the Russell Wilson. And I was

(42:41):
making the point this week that I try not to
judge anybody unless I've met them. Like if I hear
bad things about somebody and they are you don't want
to deal with this guy or gal, you don't want
it like this, and there I try and base whatever
my opinion is about that person on my interactions, because listen,
different people carry different energy, feel different ways about stuff.

(43:03):
I wait until I meet the person and then I'll
form my own opinions. But it's hard to ignore what
many organizations and teams are all saying about Russell Wilson.
It's hard to ignore that, Like it just is. The
Seahawks were over it and got rid of him. The

(43:26):
Broncos then were over it and got rid of him.
The Steelers got less than a year of Russell Wilson
based on starts and were like we're good here. Now
he's with the Giants and they draft to Jackson Dart.
I just it's hard to ignore that there's a common
theme here with Russell Wilson. And you just wonder, what

(43:50):
is everybody telling us that they don't buy it, that
it seems fake. I just there's something there, because it
would have been really easy. Russell Wilson wanted to stay
in Pittsburgh. He wanted to be there, but the Steelers
are like, no, no, We'll roll the dice for the Rogers.
We're good. We know all the drama that may come
with that, and we'll take our chances with that. We've

(44:11):
had our pill. We're good here, We'll go in another direction.
Says a lot about Russell Wilson. All right, Jonas Knox
here Fox Sports Radio. By the way, you can follow
along on the Instagram page as well too at Jonas
Knox Show if you'd like that is at Jonas Knox Show.
Right now, we welcome in a man who's a fan
favorite on this show. We have a live studio audience

(44:31):
with us here all to give a round of applause
for the one and only Andy Furman, Fox Sports Radio host.
You hear him Sunday Mornings with Bucky Brooks from six
to nine am Eastern Time, that's three am to six
am Pacific time here every Sunday morning. He is our
horse racing insider and degenerate Andy. How are you don't

(44:53):
judge me? Please? I just don't judge me?

Speaker 4 (44:56):
All right?

Speaker 1 (44:57):
You say you don't judge people, don't judge me, please.
I want to mature.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
Guy, and I'm looking forward to the big guest. You
said you're going to have.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
So well, I mean apparently that that big guest prefers
and mature guy. I don't know that's that was a
little alarming there. I didn't know that. I didn't know
you were operating, uh circumstances operating. So let me for
having one. Uh so, let me let me just uh first,

(45:24):
I mean, you've got to answer for yourself here, because oh,
you're kind of like, if you think about it, you
are kind of like a racehorse because broken down. Well no,
because you are not from the waist down. But what
if somebody you're you're kind of like a racehorse in
the sense that you only show up for two of

(45:46):
these big races, not all three. You know, we we
you came on for the Kentucky Derby, you couldn't come
off with the Preakness, God forbid. Yeah, the other thing's
going on, and then you'll show back up for the Belmont.
So what do you say for yourself? First? What do
you what do you make of these horses that are like, now,
we'll just run two of the three. We don't want
to go for a triple Crown. We'll just run two
of the three.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
Nowadays, Well, you know, honestly, I love the Belmont States
because it's in New York and this year obviously it's
in Saratoga because they're changing over the old Belmont Park.
They're rebuilding it if you will, and you know it's
New York. But the problem is with the Belmont if
you don't have a horse going in for the Triple Crown,
it's kind of anti climactic, it really is. So the
Bellmont is like the poor sister of the Triple Crown,

(46:28):
and there will not be a Triple Crown winner this year. Okay,
so well, let me ask you a question. I mean,
so what they're not incentivized to race? What about like
the million dollars they could win? What about the fact
that they can get you No, I'm going to make
a long comparison. It's almost like nil. All right, I
mean you can say, what the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (46:45):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
You know, the big money in horse racing now is
not winning races, although there's a lot of prestige and
legacy whatever.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
It may be.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
The big money is breeding all right. So there's dangers.
I mean, you know about that baby, really right, Okay,
So there's dangers in horses getting injured, hurt, whatever it
may be, and you don't want to hurt the breeding
aspect of the horse, whereas in nil. You know, these
kids could be going to the next level and playing
big time, or you could be like that girl who

(47:14):
plays with Texas Tech Softball making a million bucks a
year and I as well money. It's about the guilt,
that green cabbage. That's what it's all about, now, okay.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
But why would a horse injuring his leg running in
a race have anything to do with his sex life? Look,
I got a bum knee. I don't know. I'm not
a horse that I don't have sex. Let me just
tell you this. Like, I got a bum knee, all right,
I got it. My hip has got like some arthritic components.
I man, I was able to work out a sun
like I don't like. I don't understand what is the
thought here? Just because I don't know, I have to

(47:43):
ask your wife how it went. I really complications there,
and I got news for you based on based on
the way he looks. I got to ask her some
questions too. But here's here's the other thing too. I
feel like you and the horse racing community, and I'm
speaking to you directly, Andy Furman, and anybody that that
raised races horses, or breeds horses or does whatever. I
feel like you guys jump the gun literally way too quick.

(48:06):
A horse comes up lame in a race, and what
do you do. Oh, let's bring out a white Coleman
tent and a sod off and just end this thing
right here on the track as opposed to Yes, so
we can't run in circles anymore, We can't drape them
with flowers, you know what those you think it's still
the thing, could still go and get it done, if
you know what I mean, and pump out a couple.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
And that tells me that you're a novice that you
really don't know, because I have worked their race trucks
for years, and I've seen when horses go down, they'll
break a leg, whatever it may be. They bring out
the cart, they bring out a curtain, and they utilize them.
That's what they do because you don't want the horse
to live in pain. It's not a quest that he
can't be breeding anymore. He's in pain. And you don't
want a horse or anybody really for that matter, to

(48:47):
live in pain.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Quality of life for a horse as well. But I
do feel like, you know, since they're out there sacrificing
their bodies and their lives, if you will to make
some people some money, the least you could do is
look at the horse and say, hey, man, how do
you want to go out? And he just looks over
at the stall. He looks think it's mister head. He
looks over at the stable and he gives a nod
and say I'll go out with her. Like, come on,
let me give him one more swing in the batting cages. Okay?

(49:12):
Is that too much to ask? You got to cover
him up with a white sheet and just call it
a day in front of a bunch of little kids
whose dad had money on the race.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
Kids, you tell the little kids it's magic. You put
the white sheet over there next to you know, the
horse has gone. It's a magician. Really, that's magic. African Boom,
You are a real class act.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
You know that. By the way, you can get Andy
on Twitter at Bob Baffert is where you can find Andy.
He'll he'll answer any of your questions you need there,
uh fur bag, so let me uh, let me get
your thoughts on this race. It's an eight horse race.
From my understanding, that's where we're at with this. Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 6 (49:49):
I mean yeah, Sony's gonna win this race because, uh,
if he gets out early, he'll win. The race sets
up for a close that like this horse Serenity to
do his thing. He skipped the pretis you know, so
what does that mean? He's very well rested. So I
liked him very much to win coming into journalism. Journalism
could overcome just about anything. Really won the Sanity to Derby,

(50:09):
won the Preakness. I had a little trouble in that race,
but he won the Preakness. And we'll look back at
the Kentucky Derby a little bit of an asterisk there.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
It wasn't too good in the Derby.

Speaker 6 (50:19):
But I think he's the second best horse in this
race today in Beza coming into four to one flying
late in the Derby. If we remember, if you watched
the Derby, he passed Serenity and Journalism in the Derby
after the wire logical winner. If those two really don't
come out strong. But I got him for.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Third okay, so just so we had one more time,
all right, first, second, third in the race.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
To serenity, journalism and basa b A easy a basis.
And remember right now, the track at old Belmont Park
in Elmont, New York was a mile and a half,
the only length of one of those lengths in the country,
and it was suited for the Belmont Steak, which basically
is twelve furlongs. As you know, a furlong is an
eighth of a mile. The track at Saratoga is a

(51:02):
mile and an eighth. So for the horses obviously today
to run at twelve thur long a mile and a
half race over that, what they had to do is
either change the location of the finish line or put
the starting gate on the turn, which is really not
the best thing to do. So the New York State
Racing and Racing Association they shortened the Belmont stage today
for the Saratoga deal to a mile and a quarter.

(51:24):
And this is the same distance as the Kentucky Derby
and the Breeders Cup.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
How about that. I know that that bothers me.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
I'll tell you why, because I'm kind of a stat
records freak. Really, it's kind of like in the NFL
when they say a guy rush for one thousand yards.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Yeah, he did it in seventeen games, you idiot.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
Back in the day, Jimmy Brown did it in fourteen
you know, so don't tell me he rushed for a
thousand yards. Is not the barometer right now. The bottom
line of excellence is a running back.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
It's not.

Speaker 6 (51:50):
It just isn't, but everybody says it is. Seventeen games
is a lot different than twelve or fourteen.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Andy fourman, So you will be hosting with Bucky Brooks
tomorrow six nine am. You're damn right, all right? So
what do we what can we expect coming up tomorrow
morning with you and the great Bucky Brooks? Well, why
would I tease it now? I mean, people tune in
and listen.

Speaker 6 (52:09):
Although we I want to talk about the reason why
Tom Tiberdeau was fired, and I got the real reason.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
I really do, Yeah, I do. Yeah. I'm a big
Knicks guy. I'm a nick guy, by the way, So
let me let me just tell you something. The Knicks
are a clown shows, a clown show. Or Andy that's
a Andy that's a clown.

Speaker 6 (52:28):
Tell Mike to come in. No hell on Mike. You know,
we don't need to thank you, Michael. This guy's air wrist.
I know, you know the reason why Timberdau was fired.
And all of a sudden, the said Nicks are asking
permission for Jason Kidd to coach. You know why that
is not because Thibodeau did a bad job. He took
him to the Eastern Finals for the first time in
twenty five years. Is because Jason Kidd and Yannis the

(52:50):
Greek Freak had a great relationship in Milwaukee, and the
Knicks want to get Yannis. That's the reason why to
get Jason Kidd. And that's why Timbeau was fired. That's it.
And the rumors are coming out of York right now.
Well he was five because he didn't handle you know,
the rotation. Well, I mean, come on, really, look what
he did, Yes, what fifty plus games list a couple
of years and took him to a place they hadn't

page at Jonas Knox Show as well too. Up next, though,
some people are kicking around the idea of like, hey man,
you know what about this what options does this guy
have in the NFL. I'll tell you what the real
options are, and they're not kind. That's yours here n FSR.

(54:47):
Jonas is counted today. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming
up in about ten minutes from now kind of a
breath of fresh air in the world of sports, the
fresh air for an entire league. We'll tell you why again,
coming up here a little over ten minutes from now
here on FSR. By the way, a lot of positive

(55:10):
feedback here on the show. People are really fired up
about what we've done here today. We've talked a lot
about the Aaron Rodgers news that is official. Speaking of Aaron,
another Aaron wrights In. I just programmed Jonas Knox into
my favorites at iHeartRadio, and all I got was bad
nineteen nineties chuck E cheese advertisements and sorry ball washing.

(55:31):
Aaron Rodgers takes Peter wrights In Joni jayoff walking around
with your tiny bleep in your pants. Now that your
boy toy a rod has signed and you can bleep
it out to him NonStop and his bleep yellow and

(55:51):
black Steelers gear, congrats. You bleep at the Jonas Knocks
on X, that is, at the Jonas Knox on X
and you can follow along on the Instagram page as
well at Jonas Knox Show. I mean dah whatever. Listen

(56:13):
you know what, I won't deny any of that. Fine,
say what you want. That's fine. My guys back in
the league and yours ain't. Sorry tough balls. Speaking of quarterbacks,
I did think this was kind of not funny but
kind of interesting. So obviously there's fallout with the Rogers

(56:33):
signing in Pittsburgh, but I feel like most people knew
this was gonna happen. It's why when you hear these
idiots who go on and say, well, hey, did you
notice that the Steelers Super Bowl odds didn't move one
bit since Rogers signed there, It's like, well, yeah, because
it was probably already baked in that he was going
to sign there, Eddie retired and they were going with

(56:56):
Mason Rudolph, or they were going in another direction less
then Aaron Rodgers. Then you would have seen a change
in the Super Bowl odds. They probably would have increased.
But that's just people that want to find something wrong
with it and they want to, you know, dismiss the
signing and all that. And look, we had Jared Smith
on Fox Sports Radio betting analysts and he broke down

(57:18):
exactly why the Steelers are up against it this year.
I don't think the Steelers are making the playoffs even
with Rogers. I think they're the third best team in
that division. At best, I'll take Baltimore, I'll take Cincinnati.
Thankfully Cleveland's there, because it'll make things feel a little better.
So at least you can know you got two wins
in a season. So at least the Steelers know, all right,

(57:38):
we got two wins or we're good, Like, thankfully they're
still here. It's like when the Patriots had the Jets
in the division. You never had to worry about the
Patriots going winless in a season because the Jets were
playing twice a year. It's like, this is great, it's awesome.
We appreciate it. So I'm not It's not like I'm
high on the Steelers. I just love the fact that

(57:58):
Rogers is going to play another I love the fact
that Mike Tomlins, Like, dude, if I'm going out, I'm
going out with a guy that I trust. Love all that.
But you know, one of the other possibilities had Rogers
not signed in Pittsburgh was the potential of Kirk Cousins.
Like maybe they would make a move and bring in
Kirk Cousins. So okay, here's just a reality about where

(58:22):
Kirk Cousins is at. Because somebody threw this out online
and they were saying, what are the options for kirk
Cousins now, And it's pretty simple, hope for injury. That's
pretty much it. Not that he would because he's not
a bad guy, but that's really where kirk Cousins is at.

(58:48):
He wants to play. He went to the Falcons earlier
in the off season. He said, hey, man, I want
to be a starter. I want an opportunity. I want
to get my chance. Can I go No. They picked
up his ten million dollar option and they're going to
roll with Kirk Cousins as their backup, just in case
Michael Pennix Junior either struggles or deals with an injury,

(59:12):
which he has done in the past. He's dealt with
injuries in his college career, multiple injuries. So the Falcons
are like, no, we already paid you what we paid you.
We understand what you know, but we want to make
sure we're making the right decision for us, and so
we're going to keep you here unless somebody steps up
and offers them a deal they can't refuse. And the

(59:33):
only way somebody would step up and offer them a
deal they can't refuse. Is if they were absolutely desperate
at the position they needed somebody. And so then you
start to look around the NFL and you go, well,
what about the Saints. Well, they're not going to trade
him in the division, and the Saints are most likely
okay with having a terrible year because it'll give them

(59:54):
a better opportunity to find their franchise quarterback. You start
to look around at at other situations in the NFL
and you go, God, there really isn't a whole lot.
He's got to wait, or wonder is somebody getna get
injured and then I'll get my opportunity. You've seen it

(01:00:15):
happen in training camps before. You saw Teddy Bridgewater years
ago go down with an injury. You saw Sam Bradford
get traded there like we've seen it before a couple
of times to where in training camp in the off
season late there's an injury something like that, somebody wants
to bring in a veteran quarterback and they do so.
Cleveland's already got like nineteen quarterbacks on their roster. They're

(01:00:38):
not making a move for him. If you believe Demico
Ryans and the Texan c J. Stroud is just precaution,
general body soreness, etc. Etc. Whatever. Anthony Richardson's got inflammation,
but they already addressed the issue when they brought in
Daniel Jones. There's really not a lot of options for
Kirk Cousins other than this stay with Atlanta, uh or

(01:01:02):
hope that there's an injury and somebody needs you. Other
than that, this just is what it is. He's going
to be on the Falcons and he's going to be
the backup to Michael Pennix. Because the Steelers really were
the only other one that made some sense. The one
that made the most sense was Cleveland. Cleveland made the
most sense because of his relationship with Kevin Stefanski. He

(01:01:24):
had success with Stefanski, and Stefanski's in a situation where
his job's on the line, which is why I think
Joe Flacco is going to be the starter there unless
he gets injured and then they'll give an opportunity to
either Kenny Pickett or Dylan Gabriel or should or Sanders.
But I think Joe Flacco is going to get his

(01:01:45):
chance there and he's going to be the starter. When
everyone's like, oh, who's going to be the starter there.
It's going to be Flacco. Flacco was there for five
games off the couch and one comeback Player of the Year.
So I look at it and I go, you're trying
to find fits for Kirk Cousins. There aren't any. It's
Atlanta or you hope for injury. You know, I use

(01:02:08):
the word hope loosely, but that's really the only options
there are if he wants to get back on the
field and be a starter again. Jonas Knox here Fox
Sports Radio at the Jonas Knocks on X. That is
at the Jonas Knocks on X and again you can
find us on Instagram at Jonas Knox Show. All right,
it's coming up next year. Kind of a breath of
fresh air. Breath of fresh air in the world of sports.

(01:02:31):
We'll get into that for you right here on FSR,
but for all the latest from around the world of sports,
we turn it over to another breath of fresh air. Yeah,
the one, the only, the magnificent Sir Isaac.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Longkram and we have a fresh Aaron Rodgers detail to
pass along for you to weigh in on the that's
right now, because he has officially passed his physically. He
has officially signed a one year, thirteen million dollar contract
with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rogers going to address the media
for the first time as a Steeler after their first
mini camp practice on Tuesday, and it is also official

(01:03:07):
Rogers will be wearing jersey number eight with the Steelers,
and as you can imagine, Jonas reaction from various corners
of social media, nothing but positive and compassionate. At Golf
Bet Caddie comment and quote big shoes to fill with

(01:03:30):
Tommy Maddox's number. Meanwhile at x Brooks X remarking quote
eight to represent how many games they'll win. At Hugheart
Underscore Michael apparently not to be confused with At Hughart
Michael adding eight for how many games he'll play before

(01:03:53):
he gets benched. And finally at Trey fifty six' ten
sharing his perspective eight for how many weeks until he
gets everyone fired. Unquote so reaction To Aaron rodgers wearing
jersey number eight this year with The Pittsburgh steelers universally.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Supportive how about your, Reaction? Jonas can you confirm nor
deny the fact That rogers has already responded to one
of those tweets saying eight is also the number of
boosters you've? Had you can you confirm or deny? THAT
i THINK i saw that, somewhere BUT i don't know
if that's.

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Fact i'm double checking his replies as we, speak and
he has not replied to a tweet Since june twenty,
fourth twenty twenty. Four but, ironically that was a tweet
about something referred to as The Pfizer Whitehouse, files so
it's the same subject.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
MATERIAL i, mean it was just a.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
Guess, however unfortunately it's beyond the means of my. RESEARCH
i don't know the ats for his burner, accounts if
he has. Any does he strike you as the kind
of person who would have A burner account a La Kevin, Durant,
NO i don't think, So, Okay, NO i mean and
think About Kevin, durant is that he admits he Has, Burner,

(01:05:13):
yeah with WHICH i totally. Respect, WELL i respect it,
Too but it also kind of defeats the, purpose Doesn't
it isn't supposed to be a.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
SECRET i suppose to BURN i suppose why don't you
just instead of having to log in and switch to
different accounts when you just tweet all the same thing from.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
Your, Account i'm just, SAYING i, mean if the cat's
out of the back and you, know just to exemplify
your individual. Brilliance so you didn't even know that you
were giving me the perfect segue bringing Up Kevin. Durant
because we actually HAVE nba news TODAY espn Reporting Memphis
grizzly Center Zach edy re injured his left ankle in
an offseason workout this week and needs surgery that will

(01:05:48):
likely cause him to miss the start of next. Season,
today twenty one year Old American Coco goff won The
French Open ladies singles, title her second Career Grand slam.
Championship also won THE Us open two years. Ago so,
baseball The Cincinnati reds defeated The Arizona diamondbacks and ten,
innings four to three in a game that was resumed
today after being suspended by rain. Yesterday cubs won At

(01:06:09):
detroit six to. One Pete crow armstrong is seventeenth home
run of the. Season Saya suzuki had two home. Runs
he now has sixteen on the. Season so, Again Aaron
rodgers will wear number eight this year for The Pittsburgh.
Steelers now back to someone who's number one in the
minds of sports talk radio listeners, everywhere especially on social.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Media Jonas Knox, WELL i have two, things not just
one here for, You isaac number and. First the first
would be we are the first show to point out
the ascending star that Is Pete Caro armstrong bow AND
i talked about it a few weeks, back tried to
tell everybody ABOUT. Pca nobody wanted to. Listen and he
continues to do great. Things and they'll be in The
All Star game coming up, Here i'm assuming In. July

(01:06:52):
so that's. One here's the other. Thing The French open, sucks,
okay and let me tell you. Why the Surf it's
just not appealing on. Television i'm. Sorry it's like when
The raiders used to play games early in the season
at that dump up In oakland and there was the dirt,
infield you, know from the baseball. Stadium you remember, That,

(01:07:13):
LIKE i don't know if anybody still does. That are
there Any do you know if there are any football
teams that still playing baseball stadiums that have to deal
with the? Turf not.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Anymore The raiders were the last. One it used to
be very widespread including The rams At Old Anaheim, stadium
The falcons At Fulton. County, yes a. Canvastick, Yes, yeah
The niners did it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Too like whenever you watched a game where there was
AN nfl team playing on dirt early in the, season
you couldn't get over. That you just you couldn't get over.
That in, FACT i think When Lane kiffen actually Sent
Sebastian janakawski out to try an eighty one yard field,
goal not even pick that, up AND i think he
had them kick off the. Dirt it was so ridiculous

(01:07:55):
at the other end of the, field that's, Right, Yeah
like it's just the old thing is, Prepossible like we're
AN nfl team and we've got to play on. That
it doesn't doesn't you Make i'm watching The French, Open i'm,
like this is unwatchable because they're having them play on.
Vomit it's like they scooped up the vomit That Tracy
morgan left on the floor AT msg and just sprayed

(01:08:15):
it all over with a crop duster In paris and,
said all, right go get them guys and.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Gals SO i take it you're more of a strawberries
and Cream, wimbledon Lad.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Yeah make, it you, know make it nice and nice and.
Green make it look there's something fresh about. It, instead
you got this this pool of puke with lines in
it that they've got to like run around on.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
It just.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
DISGUSTING i don't. Know you're already getting Enough twitter hate.
Domestically i'd hate to open up open it up to
uh international. People you literally might be causing an international
incident with this take that will be reflected in your
social media, replies which we'll have to Use Google translate to.
Read i'm just, saying, listen if you a problem with,

honest with, you kind of a breath of fresh. Air
zero drama off the, court zero none of the crap

(01:10:22):

people manufacture in certain. Places none of. It just two
really good basketball teams who already had a classic to
tip off the. Series AND i say all that to
point out that it still is THE, nba which Means
game two tonight might be a. Bloodbath just Saying Oklahoma

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
YEAH i MEAN i hope he was sitting at his,
house just sitting, there not doing anything like. Paintballing, yeah
maybe something like, that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Like paintballing or something like. That he was Playing call Of.
Duty that's an, organization that's a team and a franchise
that you looked at a couple of years ago and you're, like, hey,
man like that could Be oh, yeah that could be a.
Problem and then next thing you, know the injury started piling.
Up John, morant you, know bought a gun, lighter and
all of a, sudden here we are And Zach eat

(01:14:18):
he's down for. It and if he's missing the first
part of the season after suffering the injury In, june
that i't to tell you that it's quite significant and
for his, size that's a problem and could be a
problem moving. Forward so not great if you are A
Memphis grizzlies. Fan fun, Fact i've never met one of.

Speaker 4 (01:14:34):
Those, NO i don't Think i've ever seen, one. Honestly,
yeah it's a good. Point we were talking during the show.
Today obviously we get the joy of live, sports and
The Cubs tigers home plate umpire today.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
Was oh, god.

Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Awful the one in The Dodgers cardinals game not much
better from What i'm. SEEING i had the privilege of
going to spring training this year where they had the
challenge system in for balls and, strikes and they need
to just get that going right, Now like we get
that after The All star, break that'd be.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Great so and now how many can they do? It unlimited?

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
CHALLENGE i think if you win, one you get to
do another.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
One but, Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
I'm certain about. That but it is really, Quick like
it is a less than a minute long. Process it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Hard there's a box on the. Screen you look at
the box on the. Screen was the ball in the
box or touching the border of the, box then you
called a. Strike it's really not that. Difficult and, look
and we were talking about this a little bit during the.
Break the umpire's job is. Hard the home plate umpire's
job is really. Hard it's. Difficult guys are throwing one
hundred plus miles an hour and you have to determine

(01:15:41):
whether or not it made it in an invisible box
that you can't. SEE i acknowledge that it's like that
is a really really tough. Job you're in the, heat
you're crouched down all. Day, LIKE i totally get. It
but there's nothing wrong with getting a little bit of
help in case you get it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
Wrong people always assume that WHEN i, say, like, OH
i think the umpires are bad and they need this
challenge system THAT i want robot, Umpires and that's that's
not true at. All LIKE i think robot empires are
horrible because you need that human element at some. Point
but we just gotta we just gotta get it a
little bit closer here with some of these, calls.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
Like And i'm the same, WAY i leave enough room
for human. AIR i think that's if you just start
rolling out, robots we've completely lost the ring and that's not,
Fine like we've lost the. Race but umpires can do,
it just help them out a little. Bit there's nothing
wrong with. That it's it's a, difficult difficult. Job AND

(01:16:30):
i DON'T i don't necessarily put all the blame on the.
UMPIRES i put all the blame On Major League baseball
for putting them in a bad, position in a bad.
SPOT i think for the most, part by and, large
they do a really good. Job but there's some of
these calls that are. Egregious and if you can fix
it in under a, minute and and you're you, know
the games are flying by faster. Nowadays, ANYWAYS i just

(01:16:52):
don't know why you wouldn't do.

Speaker 6 (01:16:53):
It.

Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
YEAH i don't know if you saw this on social
media this, week but The Rams Jared verse went On
Adam schefter's podcast and uh pretty much called Out Aaron
donald and said that he does old man retirement workouts
and said that he couldn't keep up with. Him uh
So Aaron donald of course heard that and then Told
verse to stop buy whenever he. Could and it concluded

(01:17:15):
yesterday With Aaron donald posting a video on social Media
verse looking completely defeated while he's still in the back
getting his pump.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
On so uh.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Every ram was in the comments laughing At verse and
asking him why he looks so, tired and And verse
basically said, LIKE i will NEVER i will never speak
badly Of Aaron donald's workouts.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Again, well Do Aaron donald could still? Play you?

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Want?

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Like he? Could he still, play just doesn't want.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
To he's been retired for two years, NOW i believe, right,
like and he looks like he could still come off
the couch tomorrow and get like two sacks and five
tackles for a.

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
Loss And i'll tell you, what it's probably the best
he's felt in the. Years he probably. Could oh, yeah
he probably. Could And sean McBay If Aaron donald Called
sean McBay tomorrow and, said, Hey i'm thinking about coming,
back they would they would literally do whatever he. Wanted,
sure you want to practice no times a week and
just show up for game. Days, fine that will take
it like you screwed like So jared, Also Jared, VERSE

(01:18:06):
i think did it in? Fun, no it, Was, yeah
it was super like when he had to look back
and forth when he was talking About eagles fans like
he was complimenting. Him, afterwards it was all in. Fun
every everything you've heard About Jared versus. It he's awesome and,
Look rookie of The. Year you, know him along With,
fisk both had great. Years they're both up For rookie
of The. Year and If Aaron donald were to ever
come back and be a part of that rotation on

(01:18:28):
the defensive front for The, rams, man that's a problem. Man,
yeah still at his.
