Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have to have better stop from the Beginni.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Se Jonas Knocks.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
You thought you knew me. You didn't know a thing
about me.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
He's crazier than a girl else wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks,
You heard me. The bread 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 4 (00:26):
YEP.

Speaker 5 (00:27):
So okay, I'll import of this world.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
You know, some would say this is not great for
the ticker. We'll tell you why that is coming up
here at just a couple of moments from now, Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this show
as always on the iHeartRadio app. You can find us
on hundreds of affiliates all across the country. Wherever you

(01:06):
are making us a part of your Saturday morning into
the afternoon. We appreciate you doing so. We're gonna be
taking you all the way up until four pm Eastern time,
one o'clock Spacific.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
But I know this.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I don't know what it is, but something feels nice.
Something feels like it's got positive energy, which we have
not had like this, real positive energy for a long time.
And it's not like you work with or anything like that.
It's got nothing to do with the people you work with. Okay,

(01:38):
it's got nothing to do with anything around you. It's
because you turn on the television, you turn on your device,
whatever you're streaming the game on, and you see that
we've got an actual college football game, like a real
wats this is an actual football game. Now, the NFL's
teased us with these preseason games. They'd give you some
preseason love and all that. But you're watching Iowa State,

(02:03):
you know, the real school from Iowa, the Cyclones. Like,
you're watching Iowa State, which, by the way, I've heard
on good authority they were going to invite Iowa but
you know, they wanted to be able to fill up
the stadium. So you know, when you have a fan
base like that, you've got to turn to the real
school the state. So they go to Iowa State. You

(02:24):
got Iowa State, Kansas State, and you're just watching it
in all its glory and you're like, man, this is awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
This is college football.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Wow. And then you get a few minutes into the
game and you go, yep.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
This is college football.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, because this game is sloppy it's a mess, and
it's everything you can expect from Week zero slash Week one.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Of the college football season.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
We got turnovers, we've got injuries, we've got But this
is why people try and push back and tell you, well,
we don't need the NFL preseason, we don't need preseason games,
we don't need any of that. But this is exactly
why talk about it all the time. That's why I've

(03:13):
never been one of those people, and I've mentioned this
before ever where I would criticize a school who opens
up the season against some directional school like remember when
Alabama used to open up the year against Circle K.
I never bust their balls. I'm happy as hell. Yeah,

(03:36):
I'm not going to bust their balls. Why would I
Remember when Florida used to open up against wah wah
first week of the season. Oh okay, I mean, what
do they look? A seventy five point favorite? Probably and
they should be. I'm not going to bust their balls.
You don't get a preseason, there's no preseason. Talk to

(03:59):
Keny Dillingham this week on the show, Kenny Dillingham said, yeah,
I'm always more nervous for this game because I really
don't know what to expect. So it's great to have
college football back. It's even better to have it back
and have it look exactly like it looks every single
opening weekend of the season. It's gonna get better. You're
gonna iron out the wrinkles. And so, by the way,

(04:22):
wrinkles are way overrated. I just want to point that out.
Anybody that gets all uptight about wrinkles.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
My favorite is when somebody criticizes you for having wrinkles
and they've got holes in their jeans. It's like a
whole nother conversation altogether. But don't even don't even get
me started on that. The point is, this is gonna
look a little sloppy. It's gonna look a little sloppy today,
and it's probably gonna look a little sloppy next week.
But at least it's here. At least it's here, and

(04:49):
we've been starving for this for a long ass time,
so it's finally back. It looks exactly as it should.
So it's good to have you back, and thank you
for carrying all the warts and blemishes and wrinkles with
you into this upcoming season. And Jonas Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio all right, So speaking of uh looking

(05:10):
a little sloppy, all right, Ben Johnson, the head coach
of the Chicago Bears, spoke after the game last night.
Bears had a preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs,
their final preseason game. These starters played the first half,
and you know, the Bears won that game. That preseason game,

(05:35):
Tyson Bagent gets his contract extension able to take care
of his family. Great story Division two guy at a
shepherd in West Virginia. Great story. Dad's an arm wrestling champ.
Now he's got the opportunity to help his fans. Like yeah,
there's a lot of feel good, great stories. And then
the first half happened last night, and Ben Johnson spoke

(05:59):
afterwards about his thoughts on the first team offense in
their performance was.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
Not the start we wanted from from our ones on on.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Really, offense defense were special teams. It was.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
It was a little bit disappointing to see how how
slow we started Defensively. We didn't feel like we controlled
the line of scrimmage very well.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
We gave up some.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
Exposive plays, we had some some costly penalties, and uh,
you know, we couldn't stop them when they when they
got down there in the red zone. So that wasn't
good on that side. Offensively, first two possessions was was
really sloppy football that you know has plugged us in
and out of camp so far, and unfortunately that's that's
what we got here tonight.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
There was a number of things that we could have
done a better job of.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
We said, this is our first time on the road
and we were going to find out what type of
road team we were going to be. And you know,
if the first quarter was really any indication, it's it's
not good enough.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
So we got to get better in a hurry.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
But wasn't that the team who played like last week
in primetime against the Bills backups and everybody was saying
that the Bears finally have their quarterback, their head coach,
their offense. It looks so what happened all so, it's

(07:18):
gonna take some time. As I've been saying from the
get go, this is gonna take some time. But the
problem is, you've got a bunch of drunks who've got
three bags of fast food at about two thirty two
forty five in the morning, right, do you know who

(07:38):
those drunks are? I'm not talking about you. I'm not
talking about what you did earlier this morning, not judging.
I don't care. Do you know who those drunks are.
Those drunks are Chicago Bear fans, Okay, because they've been
at the bar for decades, numbers. They hopped in an uber,

(08:05):
they got in their chevro legs whatever it is, and
they got themselves three four bags of fast food and
they went home and they tore it down. Last week,
Oh starving, couldn't get enough curly fries, tacos that have

(08:26):
been sitting there for four days. A cheeseburger, but the
cheese isn't really cheese. It's like, you know, one of
the chef's shampoo that he spilled onto the bun and
just said, hey, whatever they're he's gonna notice, right. You
mix in some curly fries, you know those seasoned curly

(08:48):
fries you can eat. You can, Reverend, I wouldn't recommend it,
not before you do communion. Dard it good, it is
not before communion. You got like, uh, fifteen different house dressings,
barbecue sauce, ketchup, any other little special sauce you can

(09:10):
get in there. You got mozzarella sticks that aren't even
mozzarella sticks. They're like somebody's fingers that were taking off
a body that was in the dumpster. You got this
giant breakfast burrito which is basically a sewer rat wrapped
in a tortilla, which maybe like one of the wash

(09:33):
rags from back. So like, you got all this foot
and you can't get enough. And then you wake up
the next morning and you realize, wow, I did that.
That was me, And the reason I did that is
because I was starving. And the reason I was starving
is because I've been boozing, licking the lid on the

(09:55):
liver lube, kissing the can, and all of a sudden
you start to reevaluate things and you go, hmm, maybe
that was a bit much. All Right, I don't feel
all that great. This is kind of a humbling reminder.
I've still got food particles in my teeth, my hair

(10:17):
looks like I was shot at, I smell, and this
entire mess is left there for me to look at
and go, yeah, probably a bit much. Last night, Bears
fans woke up sober, slash hung over a little and realized, yet,

(10:40):
maybe we overdid it. This is gonna take some time.
Man like this idea that all of a sudden it's turnkey,
you're gonna flip the switch. Everything's gonna it's gonna take
some time. It looked a little bit different last night
against some starters, and it did the week before against

(11:01):
like no starters. It just did. And so you've got
Ben Johnson who's like, listen, man, not happy. Thought we
worked through some of that. We didn't. We got work
to do, like we got work to do. And people
are going to point to the box score and say, well,
Kayleb Williams was this and he was eleven and fifteen.
Then you know, people were just starting to get pulled out.
It's like, it doesn't mean it's not going to work.

(11:24):
If you listen to Ben Johnson, he speaks the part,
he acts the part. But I've been saying this from
the get go. This is not just a hey, they
got to fix Caleb Williams. No, you got to fix
everything there. Everything there, offense, defense, special teams. That place
was a circus tent last year. They got to fix

(11:45):
it all and it's not going to happen. In a
couple of drives against the Bills backups in a preseason
game and it's sure as hell didn't happen against the Chiefs.
Than a week later, he's letting you know, we got
work to do. Everyone's getting real comfortable, and everyone ate

(12:08):
real good last week because it had been so long
and they were drinking it all in and celebrating the
whole Dude, this is gonna take some work. It's gonna
take some time. And they got a little over two
weeks before they got the vikings in week one at
the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knox and

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Coming off a little over ten minutes from now. There's
something you can always depend on, not just like the
sloppy playing college football, but nowadays you can depend on this.

(14:44):
the media manipulation of the Micah Parsons contract saga was
Micah Parsons laying on the sidelines during the Cowboys preseason
game last night, and you know, people, you know, trying
to make it mean that my is disinterested and doesn't
support the team, et cetera, et cetera. So Michael Parsons

(15:04):
had to go to social media and you know, defend
himself because somebody defended him. And it's this whole back
and forth thing that's just playing out. And Jerry Jones
has identified the root of the problem. Okay, he's identified
the root of the problem. And I'm starting to wonder

(15:28):
if this is sort of residual effect of somebody who
steered us down the road of this collusion situation that
took place in the NFL. All right, So before I
explain that, let Jerry Jones explain to Stephen A. Smith

(15:49):
what the real issue is with these contract negotiations with
Michael Parsons.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Not doing the old mother dad deal. How many times
have you seen the little rascal so clever going there
and Mama told him, uh, you're not going to get it,
and goes into Daddy who only sees him that after
five and a half noone wants to love him, and says,
you can have it, son, you can have that before dinner.
And he goes back in and says, Mama, Daddy said

(16:16):
I could have it. I'd say old mom and Dad
had been around since the beginning of the time. I'm
not going to go for that year. That's what's happening.
But we've had a very very strong negotiation. Now, by
the way, frankly, it wouldn't have made any difference what
the negotiation was. Guess who has to be comfortable for
this to work, Michael and who else? You hello, there's

(16:38):
not room for a.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Third all right. So if you listen to Jerry Jones
and the way he explains it to Stephen A. Smith
and the way he explained it to Michael Irvin the
day before. There's not really an issue here with Micah.
There's an issue with Mullagata. David Mullagett is Michael Parson's agent,

(17:05):
and Jerry Jones has identified him as the issue. Like
they almost won't even talk to David mullagetto, like that's
not even a conversation. David Mulligedtta was asked about Jerry
Jones's comments to Michael Irvin and just didn't have a comment.
Dallas Morning News reached out to him and he didn't
want to comment on it all right, According to Jerry Jones,

(17:28):
David Mullagetta received the contract from the Cowboys and told
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to stick it up there.
You know what, which I won't stay here on the
air and I won't even play it on the air.
But you know I'm more of a professional than some
people here at the network. Be careful Ralphie. This says

(17:48):
they had nothing to do with Ralph Ervan, and you
keep his name off the airwaves because nobody wants to
be assaulted in studio. Okay, but the point is, Wow,
Jerry Jones has identified that David Mullagetta is the problem,
that's the issue, and because nobody else has got any
other good theories on why this is all happening, everybody's

(18:12):
just sort of immersed in the drama. Everybody's just sort
of immersed in the fact that here we go again.
But it's probably gonna get done, and it's okay, so
maybe it will get done. All right, we can't project
or predict ahead. Okay, maybe it'll get done, maybe it won't,
but let's go based on what we know. Now here's

(18:33):
what we know now. Micah Parsons does not have a
contract extension. Jerry Jones has said it. We've got him
for three years, which means he's under contract this year.
We already picked up the fifth year option. We can
franchise him twice after that, so we got him for
three years. Like technically, they don't have to pay him.

(18:57):
They should anybody else would and would have done it
a while ago because he's just going to get more
expensive and he's earned the contract. He's one of the
best defensive players in the league, one of the best
players in the league period. But it hasn't happened and
so because everybody wants to know why Jerry Jones is now,
on multiple occasions pointed out, here's why. It's his agent,

(19:20):
David Mullagatta. And I'm just throwing this out there. I'm
not saying that there's anything to this, but just spitballing here.
David Mulligata's most well known contract that he ever got
for a client was Deshaun Watson two hundred and thirty

(19:42):
million dollars fully guaranteed. From an agent standpoint and a
players standpoint, that dude deserves a round of applause. Never
been one like it in the NFL before, probably not
going to be one like it ever again, at least
in the near future. But that caused some problems, so

(20:05):
much so that you had a collusion hearing because of
some back and forth between Spanos and Bidwell from the
Chargers and the Cardinals talking about another contract, and the
root of all that was Deshaun Watson's contract. And if
you know anything about the NFL, you know that there

(20:25):
are two sides. There's the owners and then there's everybody else.
And I'm just wondering if Jerry Jones looks at this
situation with Micah Parsons and Micah Parson's agent, who also
got Deshaun Watson that contract that none of the owners liked,

(20:48):
which is why they were colluding against it. Roder Goodell
himself included allegedly, I wonder if Jerry Jones is looking
at David Willagetta going f that guy. Not on my wife, Nope,
not after the position he put us in. Not happening. Otherwise,

(21:10):
why go after the agent on multiple occasions with the
tone and the conversation that he's had. Why if you
believe any of the other reports, they haven't talked in months,
and they haven't even talked to his agent. If you
wanted to get a deal done, That's kind of how

(21:31):
this works. It's not like they haven't dealt with agents before.
Remember when Dak Prescott was up for a contract, Dak
Prescott wanted to ensure he could have the best representation possible,
so he switched to Todd France. I believe not only
did he get that deal done, he got another one done.
Dak Prescott set and Dak Prescott got a better deal

(21:53):
than what reportedly he was asking for. He was talking
about length of the contract and guarantees and all that
and he got everything he wanted and then some and
that was after he snapped his leg while playing on
the franchise tag. So it's not like Jerry Jones hasn't
caved to agents before, but we've never heard him go

(22:14):
directly at an agent on multiple occasions like he's doing here.
So why what is it about that guy that he's
got a problem with? And maybe it's just old school, No,
not on my watch. Like listen, us owners, we stay together.

(22:34):
That's why we win every single CBA that like, that's
why we win them all. We stay together. We know
the position you put us in and yeah, you did
a hell of a job to get that done. But
it ain't happening anymore, not on my watch, no chance.
Because other than that, none of this makes any sense.

(22:55):
It doesn't. And when you hear how much he specifically
goes after the representation, not the player, the representation creating
a divide between the two, that tells me there's something
personal with David Mullagedtta, And I wonder if it's not
so much just between Jerry Jones and David Mullagta. I

(23:16):
wonder if it's because Jerry Jones is representing every NFL
owner who feels like that guy put us in a
bad spot. He got one over on Jimmy Haslam. He's
not getting one over on us at the Jonas Knocks
on X at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram and you
can hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app.
All right, it's coming up next here. This is always dependable,

(23:37):
all right, And somebody has got a they're getting a
real run for their money in the world of football.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Just say that, all right.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
So we'll get into that for you here coming up
in just a couple of moments from now. But for
all the latest from around the world of sports, Ladies
and gentlemen, make some noise and roll out the red
carpet in your ears for the one, for the only,
For the magnificent Sir, Isaac Long glad.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
I'm seemingly on better terms with you than you apparently
were with Ralph Irvin. Was there some sort of incident
that I'm unaware of?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
No, not at all, Okay, Like I Ralph got the
the moniker, the most violent man in sports radio for
that delightful man.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, delightful, take any my ass that guy.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Delightful delightful. Well, That was my experience with him. I'm
just time time time, just saying all right, well take
me brash.

Speaker 9 (24:42):
Sounds like you're tight lipped about this, perhaps for legal reasons,
so I'll just ask around. Sure, I'm not really plugged
in around here, but there's other people who can fill
me in. I will fig you in on the first
game of the college football season, Can I tell you?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Can I tell you the story?

Speaker 9 (25:00):
So the last time, stop asking me permission to do
stuff when it's your show to let me tell you
the story.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Ralph Ralph got the nickname the most violent man in
sports radio. Okay, well just saying something. Really, when you
think about it, he was filling in on the overnight
standing updates, all right. And the Mallard Militia. By the way,
congratulations to Ben Mallor. They have a meet and greet
in Las Vegas this weekend. Ben Mallard just got a
contract extension from iHeart and Fox Sports Radio or the
Shaus rates and deservedly so. So Ben Ralph was filling in,

(25:30):
and so the Mallard Militia, his callers, which are just
they're brutal, like they chased Arnie Spanier away. Arnie wouldn't
do the show anymore. And so that's when I started
filling in for Ben. When I did, because they realized
you need like a certain somebody who not only is

(25:51):
okay with the negativity, but will bathe in it. And
so that's why I got a lot with the militia,
because I could bathe in their negativity. Well, Ralph play
that game, oh kin, Ralph just was kind of play
that game. And so somebody called in and started laying
into him on the phone, and Ralph left the studio,
came into the producer studio where the phone was, and

(26:13):
proceeded to grab the phone from said producer out of
his hand in a physical manner and hang up on
every single caller.

Speaker 10 (26:21):
That someone called him rectum Ralph.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, somebody called him rectum Ralph. And he's like, that's
enough and when there So when I heard the story,
I said, that's the most violent man in sports radio.
And it stuck.

Speaker 9 (26:37):
So it was not physical violence against another human. It
was actually a violent phone disconnection and mass if you will,
I have.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
An audio of him hanging up the phone here.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
It is.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Violent, It's it's as violent as you can possibly be
in in the world. World of candy asses. That is
sports talk radio. Yes, like that's like, that's so so
ever since then he got but I love Ralph rout
me too, you know my ass Ralph Raps a buddy
of mine. But that's one of the great stories. And

(27:14):
uh yeah, so you know, all right, Well that's the
background though. That's a fast I had not heard that.

Speaker 9 (27:20):
Fox Sports Radio legendary yarn Bosh. Well, speaking of angry people,
there's a lot of angry fans right now of Kansas
State because in the first game of the college football season,

seven at Detroit going into the third quarter. The story
there Texans quarterback Graham Mertz, a rookie sixth round pick

(29:44):
out of Florida, no relation to fred Or Ethel, but
he's completed fourteen of sixteen for one forty five with
a touchdown of the Denver Broncos up sixteen to nine
at halftime. At New Orleans, Broncos quarterback Bone Nicks head
of fourteen for one ten with a touchdown pass Jonas
all yours.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
By the way, you know, I do have a list
of quarterbacks that rock O Bect is better than from
a college standpoint? Is that a fact? Yes?

Speaker 4 (30:11):
I do.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
I compiled a little bit of a list here just
seeing the first half performance. You know what everyone's expecting, sloppiness,
you know, the guys out there wheeling and dlan on
eight of nineteen for a buck twelve and two touchdowns.
So I do have a list of quarterbacks that rock
Obect is better.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
Then that's interesting because if you compare that to the
list of Iowa state fans on their message boards, I'm
wondering what the then diagram of that would be like.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, here's here's a list of names. Chuck Long better
than Chuck Long. Wow, better than Nate Stanley, better than
Drew Tate, better than Ricky stans Hey, better than Chuck Hartleeb,
better than Matt Rogers, better than Matt Sherman, better than
James Vandenberg, better than C. J. Bethard, better than Spencer Petross. Well, listen,

(31:01):
if his name was Petross, he'd be a better quarterback.
Those are the top ten quarterbacks that Rock Obeck is
better than. I think the Chuck Long reference was most impressive.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
Yeah, that's crazy. They're all they all played for. I
think one school. That's nuts.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
What school is that?

Speaker 10 (31:18):
Sam, Northern Iowa, the Purple Panthers, all of those greats Panthers.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Hey, look, when Iowa Sam decides to uh to slum
it with us on the weekends again, uh, the Iowa
football program is going to get it. So you haven't
heard the last of that.

Speaker 10 (31:36):
Hey man, Mark Kronowski is going to be dropping bombs
on people this this fall.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
By the way, do you think you know what I
love about dub These games in Dublin. The Why the weather?
It's Irish weather, of course, Irish weather. Yeah, like they
literally look at Seattle and just say here, hold my depression.
Here you old on to that.

Speaker 10 (31:59):
That's why there's been like nineteen fumbles.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's very wet there.

Speaker 9 (32:02):
Well, remember what happened a couple of years Remember what
happened a couple of years ago when it was an
all credit card state. It was a no cash stadium
and all the computers broke down, so they had to
give away free beard everybody. Why can't they do that again?

Speaker 1 (32:15):
You guys were at that game?

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Right?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Was that in Ireland? Yeah? That wasn't that the Navy.
Wasn't that the Navy? Notre Dame. We were at the
Notre Dame Navy game. I don't remember that. Did that happen?
That happened? Really? Maybe you experienced it, but you just
don't remember who did.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
The air Lingus Classic was Georgia Tech last year? Georgia Tech,
Florida State, Florida State. Maybe it was like, but yeah,
there was some mishappen They had to give away free
food and.

Speaker 9 (32:38):
Drinking and also breaking news out of Dublin. We have
something called a cup snake. Do you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Cups?

Speaker 1 (32:45):
So, what do you mean? Do I know what a cupsnake?
It was invented by my people at Wrigley Field. What
do you mean?

Speaker 9 (32:50):
Well, apparently this one is going from the second deck
down into the first deck, or maybe it's from the
first deck up to the second deck. I'm not familiar
with the hydraulics and mechanics of everything.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Hey, people in Ireland booze hard. They don't. It's it's
like normal. That's just a normal thing for them. It's
just like, hey, let's go to the pub. I just
that's just what they do. Like if only they could
gather up some decent food. They have great food in Ireland?

(33:22):
Are you kidding? Until you get sick of Shepherd's Bye. Hey,
by the way, I don't know if you heard that,
but Isaac, this is so. When you were refusing to
push the shopping cart back to its rightful place in
front of the store last week, and you sent me
a video of it, this was actually the uh, the worker,
the shopping cart guy who's from Dublin. These were his

(33:44):
comments to you as you drove out of the parking lot,
Silk the big arless man. That's rude. I'll do it again. Yeah.
So all right, so we are, we're off and running
here on a Saturday. Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports
Radio coming up next. So we've got traditions to a
pold on this show, and one of those is another
edition of du Care and it's yours here on FSR.

(34:06):
Two Prozen. No, it's not two prozen, A cup of Joe, Jesus. Sorry, well,
because I'm like doing all right, nobody cares about that.
It's just we don't. Apparently we don't. It's just a
it's a habit. Listen. I don't know what to tell you,
all right, I do a lot of these shows. It
just kind of blends in whatever. Jonas Knocks from two

(34:27):
Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up top of next hour, we are going to
tell you about how somebody who's really trying to also
clean up a mess in the NFL, really trying, They're
trying their best, but they got problems. We'll get into
that for you here on FSRUH, do you want to
let you know that we are looking at a fourteen

(34:49):
to fourteen game in Dublin. Iowa State Kansas State a
sloppy mess. We've got drizzle, we got dark skies, and
we got turnovers. But Iowa State is driving with a
little under eleven minutes left to go there in the
opening game of.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
The college football season.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Right now, though, it is time to do something that
we do everything a single week on this show, and
it's called this.

Speaker 11 (35:13):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
DMZ reports.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Let's get kinky.

Speaker 11 (35:21):
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.
But Jonas, the real question is do you care?

Speaker 1 (35:28):
And for that we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benson to find out what the hell people
have been talking about all week.

Speaker 12 (35:33):
Bo, Well, Jonas, an object that is similar to those
that were thrown on the court during WNBA games over
the last month. Did indeed land on the field at
the Vikings, Texan preseason game yesterday, Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Well?

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, I mean I would carry even more for you.
Tell me what the what is the object?

Speaker 12 (35:52):
It's green, kind of shaped like cylindrical.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Oh yeah, somebody throw a neon green hair chair onto
the field. Okay, well look, yes, I mean listen, you know,
apparently that's the thing. Here's the problem. This is why
comedians are safe, right, This is why don't worry about
anybody taking your job, because most people don't know when

(36:21):
enough is enough and the joke has run its course.
Most people don't get that. They don't understand that. I
don't even understand it. From time to time, the throwing
of the green dildos onto the court in the WNBA,
ha ha ha, and then it just winds down and
it's over. We're done. We're good here doing it in
an NFL preseason game. Come on, man, like, enough's enough.

(36:43):
If you want to do it in the WNBA, that's fine.
You know, they need whatever attention they can get. You
don't need to do it in the NFL. They're fine.
You gotta find a new joke next.

Speaker 12 (36:52):
Cristiano Ronaldo made history, becoming the first player to score
one hundred competitive goals for four different clubs. Jonas, do
you care?

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Oh god, no, no, definitely not, Oh no, no, no no, don't.
I mean listen to hell of a career. Congratulations. Yeah,
it's it's not football, and it's football. Season.

Speaker 12 (37:14):
Next, Venus Williams will return to the US Open at
the age of forty five. Do you care about this one?

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Nope? I don't care.

Speaker 12 (37:28):
Paige Becker's scored a WNBA rookie record forty four points
against the Sparks this week, making her probably the best
player in the league. I think Jonas, Do you care?

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Nope? Next?

Speaker 12 (37:41):
THANKI Former Bengal boomerissiasin member of their Ring of Honor.
He related a story on his morning show Boomer and Geo,
talking about the Bengals inviting him out for a Ring
of Honor celebration this week, but also pretty much implying
that he needs to pay for it all by himself
to see you care, Yes, I do care about it.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Like this is my favorite thing because when like you
point out, and we've discovered this during the show, you
know that I mentioned coming into the break unintentionally two
pros and a cup of Joe. But we mentioned this
during the course of the week when we talked about
the Trey Hendrickson stuff that for whatever reason, Bengals fans
are really sensitive when you call their team frugal or cheap,

(38:26):
like for what like they get really been out of
shape about it, like it's it's been documented, and the
tweets and the feedback that we get, and I don't
know what else you need to see before you recognize
and realize, oh that's a real thing. Like listen, Rob Parker,
Sprugal owns it, proud of it. Hey, Like at any

(38:47):
time you purchase something at a great price, aren't you
happy about it? I used to go to Burlington Code Factory.
I still go to Ross Dress for Less. I got
all those stores, I still go. I was just there,
let's a week and a half ago, got something for
like sixty percent off. I was proud of it. I'm

(39:07):
not ashamed of it. You say, oh, well you're a
cheap ass, Okay, yeah, sure whatever. Bengals fans get really
uptight about it. You wouldn't even pay for the guy's stuff,
and you were bringing him back to honor him, you
know what I mean? Like, how do you push back
against it? But you know, you gotta be careful. And
what made it even more hilarious is you've got guys
like Andy Furman, who's literally made a career out of

(39:30):
ridiculing the Bengals organization. And Andy Furman's all of a
sudden sticking up for the organization. What a kiss ass.

Speaker 12 (39:38):
Next, an Iowa man was sentenced to prison time after
buying one hundred and forty thousand dollars worth of Pokemon
cards and other items with his company credit card.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I do, because I think now it makes sense why
Sam is picking up extra shifts. Now I get it. Now,
I get it, Sam.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
What's wrong with your people? Manas?

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Based on that information on poke all right, So based
on that information, Iowa man sentenced to prison time after
buying one hundred and forty thousand dollars worth of Pokemon
cards and other items with this company credit card. Based
on that information, if you had to guess cyclone or
Hawks fan? Who is he Cyclone or a Hawk fan?
Sam Bo, take a guess he's a Hawkeyes fan. Of

(40:24):
course he is. Cyclones don't act like that. They're in
Ireland right now. I'm an idiot. I don't know much.
So somebody's out there trying to clean up some things,
and apparently they got more work to do in the NFL.
We'll get into that for you coming up here in
just a couple of moments from now. Jonas Knox Fox
Sports Radio. You can listen to this show as always

(40:45):
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 afternoon, we appreciate
you doing so. We are going to be taking you
all the way up until the end of this hour
four pm Eastern time, one Pacific, and we've got an
actual meaningful counts for something football game in Ireland right now,

(41:10):
Kansas State Iowa State, the Cyclones holding on to a
three point lead in the fourth quarter. It's been sloppy,
it's been wet, it's been messy. It's looked exactly like
Week zero football. So it's great to have a back
and at least it didn't change, you know, because I

(41:33):
be honest here, we're gonna get enough high scoring affairs
throughout the course of the season. You need some sloppiness,
all right. You needed some of this. It's a mess, right,
You needed something to remind you that football is here.
I mean, the turf it's held together, but you're just
wondering at one point is something to to come. I
don't even know if that's natural artificial, seems like it's natural.

(41:55):
Maybe it's not. You got a review that's taking way
too long. And the best thing is because we were
out at the game in Dublin a couple of years ago,
Notre Dame and Navy. If you are one of these
fans and you're like, man, this is really stressful. I
got to get a drink. Oh, don't worry. You're in
the right place.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I would not worry about that. Don't worry about that.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
I walked around afterwards and I was with lead to
Lap and lead to Lap executive producer here at Fox
Sports Radio, and him and I left the state. I
was like, let's just go on a walk. Let's who
we find. And we walked into some place and you
didn't know what time of day it was. All you
saw were what looked to be two to three thousand

(42:41):
Notre Dame and Navy fans just ripping drinks, celebrating, party, clubbing,
dancing like you. I mean. So, if you are one
of those people, a fan of Kansas State or Iowa State,
and this game doesn't go your way, don't worry about it.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
Just do it.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
The Navy fans did and just say fit, let's go drink.
And you were in the right place to do so.
So that's a good thing, all right. So a lot
of people chiming in, by the way, on the show,
big fans of what we've done so far. Here on
the show we are an hour and plus in, Maddie
writes in which effing dimwit executive thought it was a

(43:20):
good idea to put this clown boy Jonas on the air.
This ass kisser, on a scale of one to ten,
is a negative four. My ears continue to bleed every Saturday.
I have to hear this crap. Wake up and aim higher.

Speaker 9 (43:35):
Hold on, Jonas, you missed an important detail about that
tag What instead of tagging Fox Sports Radio, this gentleman
accidentally tagged Fox Sports Radio MX, which is apparently our
counterparts in Mexico.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Oh aally, hey, let me tell you something. You know,
they probably broadcasted my wedding. I'll be havy the in loss. Well,
actually I have, I do. I'm married into it. I
don't have a choice.

Speaker 9 (44:07):
I have done some research on Fox Sports Radio Mexico
and apparently they broadcast wrestling as part of their menu
of programming.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
And they by the way, Isaac, it's Luca Libre Erasis.

Speaker 9 (44:22):
Well that's what I mean Lucha libre. So they had
a wrestling show and they had one of the wrestlers,
but he had his mask on, which is I guess
what they do in lucha libre.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, you can't. It's like that's like a big honor
if you have a mask versus mask match, it's like
one of the like if somebody gives you their mask,
it's like one of the greatest tributes. Oh my god,
it's it's an unbelievable Yeah. So, so the mask is everything.

Speaker 9 (44:49):
So apparently this gentleman's protests are falling on deaf ears
or at the very least, the wrong Earsay this guy,
this guy's an idiot. He doesn't realize Mexico is a
home game for me.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
What are you talking to? Like, I'm in that world,
literally in that world like my son. He's not American,
he's not Mexican. He's Noxican, like we are in it,
we live there Noxicon.

Speaker 8 (45:15):
Eh.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yeah, all right, that's a new one.

Speaker 9 (45:20):
Is that also a term for citizens of Knoxville, Tennessee?

Speaker 1 (45:25):
No, I don't believe.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
So it's good to have Mel Gibson joining the show.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Though appreciate, appreciate Mel popping on By the way, Greg
writes in dude, you're such a knob. Gobbler, at least
the morning show is tolerable because it's just not your
sorry ass sucking all the air out of the room.
Get the f off my radio.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
He said that.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
By the way, isn't Gobbler's knob where that like sewer
rat come out and they decide how much more winter
there is? Isn't that what it's called a place called gobblers? Now? Yes? Yeah? Hey,
By the way, underrated movie groundhog Day one of the
underrated movies.

Speaker 10 (46:15):
Love groundhog Day. Yeah, I'd say it's properly rated. Though,
you know, it's like on TV like every day. It's
like Groundhog's Day.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
It's literally not on TV every day. That's like you
saying Christmas movies are on in July. They're not. It's
on during Groundhog Day like around that time. But it's
not every day. I wish it was. I'd watch it.
It's better than some of the other crap on TV.
All right, So that's where we stand here on the show.
By the way, touchdown Iowa State. They now lead twenty

(46:44):
four to fourteen over Kansas State, six and a half
minutes left to go on Dublin. Wow, so there was
a big fourth down stop. They reviewed it. Kansas State
was short, and Iowa State has started to wake up
a little bit. And I think there's like a of
shock running through the state of Iowa because the state
of Iowa is actually seeing points scored by a college

(47:07):
football team from Iowa, which is not the norm Iowa
to that state.

Speaker 10 (47:11):
Hey, that's an antiquated take. Tim Lester's turned it around
for the Hawkeys.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah, but those are always fun to dust off. That's
how you can really tell who stopped watching Iowa football
before twenty twenty three is when you bring that up.
We're actually twenty twenty four.

Speaker 10 (47:26):
Yeah, last year they were much better. But yes, they
had a historically bad offense from twenty twenty one to
twenty twenty three. Yeah, like one for the record books.
Oh it was fun because they'd win games like thirteen
to thirteen to ten and you know, nine to six.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
I'm into it. They should football, they should play in Dublin.
Be perfect, love it. I'd go all right. So we
opened up the show. We were talking about, obviously the
game in Dublin that has taken place, the first college
football game of the year, but also just sort of
how things have changed in the matter of a few days.
All right, So you had Bear fans were jumping for joy.

(48:01):
It was like the greatest thing in the world. The
Bears looked great in the preseason against the Bills backups.
Last Sunday night, they looked great. The offense looked great.
Caleb looked great, he found his tight ends. He felt
like all these everybody looked great. Ben Johnson's changed everything.
And then they rolled out last night at Kansas City,

(48:21):
albeit on the road, albeit on a short week. But
even Ben Johnson said afterwards not happy about it. It just
wasn't happy. They need to be better. It was sloppy,
just not a real great performance. He was okay with
the two minute drive before half, but ultimately the starters
played the first half and it just didn't look good.
It didn't look anything close to what it was before.

(48:43):
And with that being said, we have a long touchdown
throw for Kansas State. So now twenty four to twenty
six minutes, twenty three sections, twenty three seconds drawn Bradley
with a sixty five yard touchdown cap for Kansas State.
So we've got this, We've got this feeling in Chicago

(49:06):
that like, hey, man, the Bears are back, and then
you realize, hey, you know, maybe they're not. Maybe they're
actually not back. Maybe it's going to take a little
bit more time, which has been my point on this
the whole time, to where everyone's like, man, all he's
got to do is fix Caleb Williams and every we're
going to be okay, And it's like, dude, it's not
just Caleb Williams. Like the entire organization needs fixing, Like

(49:31):
like everybody needs to be fixed there. It's not just
Caleb Williams. There's a lot going on there. And so
he's got the task of trying to get the most
out of their number one draft pick, get the most
out of that offense, and also change the perception of
the organization. And so it's going to take some time.
It's going to take some work another place where there's
also going to be some work that needs to be done,

(49:55):
kind of in a similar situation, although they've actually had success,
you know, somewhat recently. Is the pay Mike Rabel's got
the task of I've got to change the culture here
because it's been a while since the Patriots have been good.
Then he's got a young quarterback, just like Ben Johnson.
They've added new pieces around that young quarterback and they've

(50:15):
they've tried to protect him and surround him with a
better roster, just like the Bears did with Caleb Williams.
And so Mike Frabel finds himself in a similar spot
to Ben Johnson. But Mike Rabel's got a problem. You see,
there was this, uh, this issue that popped up uh
Jalen Polk, you know, apparently, you know, he had an injury,

(50:37):
and there was some speculation about whether or not the
injury was, you know, going to keep him out for
a long time, or whether or not, you know, the uh,
the injury is going to keep him out for a
short time. And as it turns out, the reports come
out that uh Jalen Polk is going to have season
ending injuries. He has a season ending injury. He's going
to miss the entire year. And so Mike Frable's not

(50:58):
happy about that. He tried to keep everything under wraps
the report out, and of course he was asked about
it by the media recently.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Surgery.

Speaker 8 (51:06):
Can you additate to that, I don't know, other than
I'd like to find out where some of these come
from you know, some of these rats around here.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
So we'll figure that out.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yeah, and he's right. You gotta start finding the rats.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
Got this rad.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Anoying, right, you gotta start with that. You want to
clean up your backyard. You see a rat dropping, you
gotta get yourself a tomcat trap. I got one in
my backyard right now. A little bit of peanut butter
in the bowl. Guess what happens first rat that decides
you know what, I'd like a little bit of that

(51:48):
Santa Cruz organic chunky peanut butter. Guess what happens to
that rat. That rat's gonna shrink about an inch and
a half. That's what's gonna happen. You gotta take care
of the rats. You can't have a clean backyard if
you got rats infesting the area. And Mike Frable's looking around, going, dude,

(52:09):
I can't even keep a guy's injury under wraps because
I got people talking to the media And does it
sound familiar? Does that sound somewhat familiar? Like I feel
like we've heard somebody say that recently and they got
all sorts of criticism for it. Remember when Aaron Rodgers
said that same thing about the Jets. That was one

(52:30):
of the first things he.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Said about the Jets.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Yeah, we know, we gotta clean up some of the
some of the noise coming out of here, people talking
as such and such, and like Mike Vrabel's looking at this,
going all right, I'm trying to do what Ben Johnson's doing.
I'm trying to change the entire culture here. Like this
is not just about I gotta fix Drake May I
got no, no, no, I gotta I gotta change the culture

(52:53):
here because they've been running a muck for a while
and we got leaks, we got rats, we got reports
coming out. I don't know where they're coming from, but
I'm gonna find them, as he should. And when Rogers
said the same thing about the Jets, of course, he
got the same typical pushback as, Oh, it's just Rogers.
He just wants to complain about something. He's the guy

(53:14):
who does interviews with this. Yeah, but he's not leaking
reports to the media. He's not leaking information to the media.
And what's so funny about all this is that Robert
Kraft couldn't wait, couldn't wait to get rid of Bill

(53:35):
Belichick when it was when he got his opportunity.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Oh he he just couldn't wait.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
And then he went out publicly and he did the
docu series or whatever it was, and then he may
have talked to the Falcons and tried to convince them
today would I wouldn't, you know, work with this guy.
He's a pain in the ass, he's this and that,
and all these years later after he tried it with
Girod Mayo, what's Robert Craft basically saying saying, I want

(54:05):
the Belichick stuff again. I'd like that back because at
least I knew that he was going to clean up
some of this stuff, like I want that because that's
what Mike Rabel is. That's what Mike Rabel's trying to do.
And the way Belichick did it is he wouldn't talk
to anybody now, not getting anything from me, No, just

(54:28):
not happening, not getting anything from me. And Robert Kraft
was like, no, no, no, I'll take it from here. I
got us covered. And guess what happened, Gerrod Mayo was
a disaster. They were awful. It was it was terrible.
It was a mistake. And Robert Kraft basically put his
hand up and said, I I'd like the other guy back,
I'd like him back. And if I can't have him,

(54:49):
because I already burned that bridge, I'll just take Mike
Rabel back. And Rabel's there and he's like, dude, what
are with the rats? And he's one hundred percent correct.
What are we doing here? Why is this stuff getting out?
Who's talking to who? And if you think that, like, nah, listen,
everybody's moved on the Belichick crafts, So everybody's moved on.
Don't worry about it. Nothing to see here. We are

(55:10):
all good. Did you happen to take a peek at
what Bill Belichick said to Ben Volean of The Boston
Globe recently, who's asked about, you know, what do you
like about college over the pros? Belichick said the following quote,
there's no owner, there's no owner's son, there's no cap.
Everything that goes with the marketing and everything else, which

(55:32):
I'm all for that, but it's way less of what
it was at that level. Generic NFL teams, you have
the owner, president, general manager, personnel director, college director, pro director,
cap guys, some other consultant, then head coach. I'd say,
when we had our best years in New England, we
had fewer people and more of a direct vision, and

(55:53):
as that expanded, it became harder to be successful.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Bang bang.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Belichick with a one two right down the pike. Bang dude,
that's him telling you man. When Robert Craft started getting
involved and family, we were finished. We were done. And
Mike Rabel's looking around, going due, why do we have
other people talking? Who's doing?

Speaker 2 (56:17):
I'm the coach?

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Like, trust me with this direction of the of the team,
Like trust me with the organization. I got it. So,
like all this stuff coming out, he's one hundred percent correct.
You can't have a clean, functioning backyard if you got
a bunch of rats running around. Rabel's got rats. He's

(56:43):
gonna smoke him out. And that's the first step towards
getting that place back to where it needs to be.
At the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knox
on X and you can hang out with us as
always on the iHeartRadio app. You can also find us
on Instagram at Jonas Knox Show. Coming up, we are
going to tell you about somebody who's really concerned. They've

(57:04):
got concerns, all right, real concerns. The problem is their
concerns will mean nothing in the world of football. We'll
tell you why next year on FSR Jonas Knox Fox
Sports Radio. Iowa State's got a twenty four to twenty
one lead over Kansas State two minutes left to go
in the fourth quarter in Dublin. They were close to

(57:27):
what looked like the icing on the cake on a touchdown,
but came up about four or five inches short. Who
hasn't you know what I mean? And so here we are.
They've got a first in goal up twenty four to
twenty one, two minutes left. They can just punch it in.
We were off and running and away we go. All right,

(57:50):
So coming up in we'll call it about ten minutes
from now. The last thing I want to do is
accuse anybody of performance enhancing drugs or any sort of shenanigans.
That's the last thing I want to do. But there's,
you know, something that should be looked at. I think
they're just saying I just think, you know, it would
be better for everybody involved.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
We'll get into that for.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
You here in the world of football coming up in
about ten minutes from now. I get a kick out
of this stuff. So the financial company Robin Hood, they're
allowing trades on college football. So like there, it's you know,
basically they call prediction markets. It's a little bit different

(58:33):
than sports betting, but it's kind of the same thing.
And apparently the NCAA is is concerned about it. You know,
they've got they've got some real concerns. They released, ah,
you know, a statement expressing their concerns and they said
the following, courtesy of David Purdham, who does a good

(58:56):
job covering this stuff for ESPN. The NCAA statement following
the news that Robinhood is now allowing trades of college
football quote, Sport integrity is paramount for the NCAA, and
we are deeply concerned by unregulated and unprotected markets that
pose a threat to competition integrity and student athlete safety.

(59:20):
We will continue to analyze developments of this market and
work with industry leaders to help ensure guardrails and regulations
to protect NCAAA competition, student athletes, coaches.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
And officials. That from Tim Buckley, the Senior VP of
External Affairs. And look this just to sum it up
and get straight to the point here as far as
explaining what this is all about, Like sports gambling, it's
all about sports gambling. I got news for you. If
somebody is a scumbag, they're just a scumbag, like they

(59:55):
just are. If somebody can't handle themselves in the correct fashion,
that's a them problem, not in everybody else's problem. There's
a liquor store right around the corner from my house.
I'm not there, I'm here. You got choices, like you

(01:00:22):
do have choices, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Some people can walk by the alcohol aisle and go
straight to pick up a steak, or go straight to
pick up a pack of chicken breasts in the meat department,
like I walk by it all the time. You do
have choices. And so this idea that you've got college

(01:00:50):
football or the NFL, and you've got all these people
concerned about the well being of everybody else, et cetera,
it's like, dude, they're gonna do what they're gonna do.
It doesn't mean that you just get rid of it
all because you want to look out for everybody. Not
everybody's a scumbag, not everybody's an alcoholic, Not everybody's a degenerate,
flunky gambler. You are going to have bad influences. You're

(01:01:13):
gonna have this guy and that gun you're there's gonna
be threats and potential that all the time anywhere you go.
This idea that now you look at this situation with
it more prevalent now and go all right, we've got
to be really concerned about all the athletes involved. Man,
do you think people weren't gambling before? Do you think
this is just like a new thing, Like it's just

(01:01:35):
new all of a sudden, like nobody could have gotten
their hands on anybody and and gotten anybody's ear and
told them to do what? And pretty Oh, hey, Johntay Porter,
who look look at all these guys betting the over
under on their their points, rebounds and assists in NBA games.
And okay, and if an NBA player making twenty five

(01:01:56):
million dollars a year is willing to sacrifice that on
a parlay for ten grand, that's not a problem with
all of it. That's a problem with him. Guy's a junkie.
I gotta like, what are we doing?

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
You know what, my buddy's an alcoholic. Yeah, what do
you want to do about it? I want to shut
down that liquor store. Why, Like some people go in
there to get like a bag of rolled golds, and
some juji fruits. Your buddy goes in there and buys
a half bottle every day. That's him. Doesn't mean you

(01:02:36):
just change everything. So this idea there was like, oh,
we're concerned. This is the next layer of that. This
is this, it's that, like, what.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Are we doing here?

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Stop? It's here, and I got news for you. It's
always been here. This idea that we're gonna now put
up a fight to push back against the integrity of everything.
I got news for you. If somebody but he doesn't
have integrity, there's not much you can do about it.
Not everybody takes it. If there's one hundred dollars bill

(01:03:08):
that falls out of some old ladies purse, not everybody's
gonna pick it up, shove her over and run away
with it. Some people are gonna pick it up and
hand it back to her. So the NCAA and all
these people like wanting to campaign for we need to
do this for the betterment of the players. Stop. If
a player's a scumbag, if somebody's a dirt bag, they're
going to act accordingly, and vice versa. At the Jonas

the top of your screen. All right, speaking of gambling,
we are off and running with our first beat beat
of the football season. We'll explain why that is coming
up here just a couple of moments from now. But first,
for all the latest from around the world of sports,
ladies and gentlemen, the magnificent Sir Isaac.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
No one called.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
Just that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
To let the trumpets crescendo. There Jonas, by the way,
there we go, Thank you, yes yesterday. Give the beats,
as the kids say on the gajez, and I'll I'll
tell you what's going on here behind the scenes.

Speaker 9 (01:04:35):
Okay, I'm looking forward to that. So the details are
these first game of the twenty twenty five college football season,
number twenty two. Iowa State has just defeated seventeenth rank
Kansas State twenty four to twenty one. Cyclone quarterback Rocko
Beck two touchdown passes and would prove to be the
game winning touchdown run with six thirty eight to play.

Speaker 7 (01:04:54):
At becktall alone in an empty backfield four time ins
flanked wide back Ross top tave him.

Speaker 10 (01:05:01):
A block tux down walk up back.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
What a great playtholl By Tower Bowser.

Speaker 9 (01:05:08):
That was John Walters on KASI And now what the
late great Paul Harvey would say. And now for the
rest of the story, here is Jonas Knox.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
All right, So Brady Quinn brought back Quinn's wins on
the show yesterday. Yeah, where he gives his picks. One
of his picks was the over of fifty and a
half in this game.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
What makes it worse is that the game was low scoring.
He didn't think he had a shot in hel and
all of a sudden they start scoring points in the
fourth quarter, the total sitting at forty five at twenty
four to twenty one. That touchdown that was short by
about four inches would have given him his win and
is over, and instead they ruled him short and Iowa

(01:05:59):
State took a knee from the one inch line.

Speaker 9 (01:06:02):
Oh oh man, rough day.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
For a lot of people, that's like, that's like stepping
on a nail and getting kicked in the nuts at
the same time. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:06:17):
Well, I can prescribe a similar feeling with Kansas State
fans right now, because let's go back to the Kansas
State message boards. In concert with that and these posts,
according to the popular social media curating site message board Geniuses,
actually reposted these while the game was still going on.

(01:06:39):
All right, so here we have Kansas State fan and
by the way, the Chris who they're referring to here
is Kansas State head coach Chris Climban at Max Tatarac's
post end quote. Season over later Chris at grant Underscore
KSU commenting quote, Climban is a clown. We are so soft.

(01:07:00):
Everyone is just so weak. Every margin play we absolutely
blow at DMK KSU ninety climbing should apologize to every
person that spent money to come to this game and
watch this fraud. These posts again while the game was
still going on. And finally at screen name posting quote

(01:07:22):
an absolute bleep, Chris Climban is a wizard's.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
You know what I'm gonna skip the last word of that.

Speaker 9 (01:07:31):
Just wizards just out of car and no, it was
it was something else, something else.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Sleeve of wizard. Oh no, I didn't say it. Again,
I didn't say it, but yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:07:45):
So let's provide to Major League Baseball, where the Boston
Red Sox have a five to one lead over the
Yankees at the top of the ninth inning. Offensively, Boston's
Trevor's story a two run double in the top of
the third of the solo home run of the fifth
is twentieth on the Mount Red Sock picture. Garrett Crochet
struck out eleven and seven innings. The Philadelphia Phillies anounced
picture Zach Wheeler will be out for the rest of

(01:08:07):
the season. Wheeler had successful surgery to remove a blood
clot from his right arm five days ago.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Out of the coming weeks, we'll.

Speaker 9 (01:08:14):
Undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery. By the way, Jonas, have
you ever heard of the popular Philadelphia sports blog crossing
broad in reference to Broad Street and fall.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Okay, I thought it was something else. No, I have not. Okay,
I'm not familiar.

Speaker 9 (01:08:31):
Well, you're when I think of sophisticated, refined taste. I
think of Jonas Knock. So I'm gonna run by a
meme that they posted about this Zach Wheeler thoracic outlet
decompression surgery, and you tell me if it's in good
taste or bad taste. They posted the logo of the

(01:08:53):
Jurassic Park movies, only they replaced Jurassic with Thoracic, So
Thoracic Park, would you consider and good taste?

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
Now listen, this is I would say, a critical injury. Yeah,
a guy had a blood plot in his arm. I
mean they were, like, you know, one of the World
Series favorites, right, and so now all of a sudden,
you know they're going to turn it into a Jurassic
Park joke at his expense.

Speaker 9 (01:09:18):
Because, like I said, when I think sophistication, refinement, and
good taste, I think Jonas Knox. I mean, you are
the you are the you are the Emily Post of
sports talk radio.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
I mean it's not far from I don't see, like, well,
you you're making light of the of an injury. It's
going to cost to guy the rest of the year.
And they're a really good team and he's aur Ace
and it's a serious injury. Yeah, very serious. Yeah they should.
I mean, and if anybody knows you and I are
all about compassion here on this show, well I know

(01:09:54):
you are anyway.

Speaker 9 (01:09:55):
Finally, at NFL preseason action, let's check on the Cleveland
Browns quarterback and situation. They leave the Rams sixteen to
ten with nine thirty four left play in the fourth quarter. Earlier,
Dylan Gabriel completed twelve of nineteen for one twenty nine
with a touchdown. Pass Right now, Shador Sanders has completed
two of four for seven yards. Joe Flacco started the game,
completed nine of ten for seventy one yards and a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
And with that, Jodas it is all yours? Hey, Isaac,
can I ask you something?

Speaker 9 (01:10:22):
I want to stop stop asking permission for people to
do something on your own show.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Have you noticed, because I look, the last thing that
I want to do here is accused anybody of doing peds.
But like, but is this gonna get me named in
a lawsuit?

Speaker 4 (01:10:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Okay, no, no, no, I just think and I'm not us. Yes, yes,
so you're on a who's who's whose name is in
this lawsuit? Again, Isaac Low and Kron No, So have
you noticed that field goal kicking.

Speaker 9 (01:11:02):
Yes, I have absolutely yes and sir, and it happened
again today. Tyler Loop of the Baltimore Ravens hit a
sixty one yarder, right, but yes, last.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Last night in the Cowboys game, you had a sixty
four and a sixty three yarder. You had a guy
from the Jags hit a seventy yard yep. You had
Cairo Santos, who has one of the weakest legs in
the NFL, hit from I think fifty seven in a
preseason It just like if you go through and look
at it used to be back in the day quote

(01:11:33):
unquote it used to be like fifty yards was the limit. Yeah,
damn you like he hit from fifty yards unbelievable. And
now it's like a chip shot. Sixty yards is the
new fifty if we can put it that way. And
so I look, I'm not I don't want to, you know,
go say, oh, you know, it's ped like I don't
want But you remember baseball. There was the juiced ball theory,

(01:11:54):
there was the you know, the ball's chuiced, it's flying
a lot farther, and then you had the dead ball
era like it and I'm just wondering if maybe somebody's
doing something to some of these kicking balls, because it's
not like the kickers look bigger.

Speaker 9 (01:12:07):
So would this be Would this be deflate gate part
two or inflate Gate part one?

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
I guess inflate gate. Okay, yeah, I guess I would
probably be inflate gates because I would assume that that
would that would help the the ball deflating. It seems
like it would be, you know, not the best way
to go. So yeah, what we'll call it inflate gate.

Speaker 9 (01:12:29):
I actually interviewed an NFL placekicker in recent years about
this when it hadn't quite gotten to this extent, but
it was improving, and the reason that he gave me
was increased specialization at the high school and youth ranks.
There's all sorts of specialized instruction now with place kicking

(01:12:52):
camps for high school students that just even ten years
ago was not even a thing. But but jonas in
all seriousness and whether it's peds, the football or whatever,
if it keeps going at this rate, I think this
is going to significantly impact the strategy of how NFL
games are played. I think it this continues, it's gonna

(01:13:13):
be a huge thing a year from now and.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
One hundred percent, and guess what else it's gonna do,
just like they did with Tiger Woods. When they realize, oh,
he's too good for this, they're either going to narrow
the goalposts or they're going to do something to manipulate
it to make it more difficult. Ry already did it
once they moved the extra point back because they realized
it's a waste of time, let's move back to thirty three.
Like it just I'm looking at some of these these
kicks in the preseason, I'm like, what is happening here?

(01:13:38):
Like it just it feels like something's up and it's gotten.
They've gotten better and better and better every year. Fifty
yards is a chip shot nowadays, like a guy hit
from seventy. You remember when Lane Kiffen trotted out Sebastian
Janikowski to try like a seventy eight yard field goal
years ago, and everyone's like, oh my god, he's crazy, dude.

(01:13:58):
We're not far from that, Like we're literally not far
from I mean he did it from the that was
when the Raiders are still playing in the same place
the A's were, So he did it from the dirt
and the whole thing was comical. But we're not far
from that now. I just I'm looking at going are
they doing something to the footballs, like what is going
on here? Because it like we've seen a jump like

(01:14:18):
no other position maybe other than wide receivers have we
seen a jump and the numbers like we have with
this like quarterback, and we've seen gradual throughout the course
of the years, but kickers have just gone off the
charts now in a hurry, and I'm just wondering what's
going on?

Speaker 9 (01:14:35):
That's all I think with I think you're absolutely right.
I think the way we're going, within the next five years,
you will see them either narrow the goal posts or
try I don't know how they're going to do this,
but try to move the goalpost back maybe three to
five yards.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
But we're on that way. Yes, I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
So there it is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
That is the Law Offices of Low and chron and
Knox breaking down what's going on with kicks in the
world of football here all right, So it is Jonas

It's not Jonas Knox, right, I don't check that one.
Don't bother at Jonas Knox Show. At Jonas Knox Show
on Instagram and the ig stories we're going to be
posting the insults that have come through on the show,
some real good ones like Peter, who writes in Judas,

(01:16:23):
you can't get enough of that bleep Kansas State quarterback
hunky blondie beefcake hottie in those curly locks, envisioning getting
the bleep out on you, like the bleep bleep you
are you bleep?

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Huh wow.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
Danny writes it and says, we know your addiction. Joanads
you loving those charizo sticks.

Speaker 5 (01:16:53):
He's a jack ass.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Again. At Jonahsknock Show on Instagram is where you will
see all of uh all post posted here shortly after
we go off the air right now though it is
his time for this.

Speaker 11 (01:17:13):
Jonas, moron, how could you not get to these stories?

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Moron?

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Are the scraps?

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
And but then we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benson to find out what the hell we
missed so far on the show. Bo, what Danning was that?

Speaker 12 (01:17:27):
Is that our Danny or just.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
I don't believe so okay, they don't have Wi Fi
at White Oak.

Speaker 12 (01:17:34):
Uh Jonas Isaac mentioned it earlier, but the Phillies are
going to lose their ace. Zach Wheeler uh diagnosed with
thoracic outlet syndrome, going to get surgery, six eight months recovery.
So that is brutal for a team that their window
might be closed now at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Yeah, they're getting old man.

Speaker 13 (01:17:50):
Yeah, like Bryce Harper's older now, Casiano Warbers. Schwarbers having
a career years I know, but he's going to be
a free agent and I don't know if they're going
to bring him back because somebody's if you're the Yankees,
would you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Not overpay out of your ass for Kyle Schwarber in
that short porch, Like Kyle Schwarber and Yankee Stadium would
hit one hundred home runs a year. Probably not, but
like that's like that's like a perfect spot form.

Speaker 5 (01:18:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
If you look at the World Series odds right now,
even with all the dysfunction and injuries and like subpar play,
the Dodgers are overwhelmingly the favorite, sitting at a plus
three seventy on DraftKings, and then you've got the Phillies
at plus five fifty, followed by the Tigers and the Brewers.
So even with all of that, the Dodgers are still

(01:18:47):
sitting there even though they're tied atop the division out
the Padres. So I don't know how you're feeling about things, Bo,
but you know, at least the odds makers are saying
they shouldn't get it.

Speaker 12 (01:18:55):
No, I've given myself a five year period where I'm
not going to complain about anything. I think that's everything
to do.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Yeah. Hey, look the Cubs made that last over one
hundred years, so exactly, you can feel better about things.

Speaker 12 (01:19:09):
The Chicago Bulls are going to retire Derek Rose's number
one jersey in a ceremony on January twenty fourth, so
well deserving and congratulations to Dereck Rose.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Yeah, listen to me, He's not some scrub. He's not
you know, like lard Ass from stand By Me or
this is the guy who's actually done some stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:19:25):
Boy, are you fat?

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
Unbelievable for Iowa, sam Bo Benson and Isaac Lohenkron, thanks
for hanging out with us here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
Jonas Son of a Bitch
