Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You had better stop from the beginning.

Speaker 3 (00:02):
Ste Jonas Knocks.

Speaker 4 (00:04):
You thought you knew me. You didn't know a thing
about me.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
He's crazier than air.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Else wrapped that guy, Jonas Knocks. You heard me.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
The brain 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 Knocks. Yep, Okay, I'll
reported this world.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
You know, there's some things that you understand and then
there's some things that you don't. And we will get
into that because both are playing out in the world
of sports and beyond that'll be yours coming up here
in just a couple of moments from now Jonas Fox
Sports Radio. You can listen to this show as always
on the iHeartRadio app. You can find us on hundreds

(01:08):
of affiliates all across the country and wherever you are
making us a part of your Saturday morning into the afternoon.
We appreciate you doing so. We are going to take
you all the way up until four pm Eastern time,
one o'clock specific here on this two hour extravaganza. You know,
I would like to start by apologizing because sometimes you

(01:32):
don't know why somebody does what they do until after
maybe you've had some harsh commentary about their behavior, all right,
And so we want to be accountable. That's really important
on this show, and we want to acknowledge wrongdoings and
mistakes as they happen. I think that's important. I think

(01:53):
it's important for growth as a person. I think that's
important for growth, you know, on a smaller level as
a show, as a host. I just I feel like
that's what we owe each other, especially in today's climate.
And I want to apologize because I didn't get it.
I didn't understand it. It didn't make any sense to me,

(02:14):
and there was a lot of people really really upset
about some comments that were made last week, and I
just want to say and start off the show in
the same place we started off last week on this
topic that I'm sorry I didn't get it. I didn't understand.
I didn't understand why Knicks fans were reacting the way

(02:39):
that they were after eliminating the Celtics last week, and
the people in the streets and the crowd and the
emotion and all that. I didn't understand. And I saw
some of the reaction and some of the feedback on
social media online, and now I understand. Now I get it,

(03:00):
like I didn't really and you realize this and I
didn't that it's because that was probably your last win
of the season, okay, and I want to apologize, like
now that I know that, Oh yeah, that's way you
were celebrating so much. Now that makes sense, Okay, Listen,
I didn't know. I thought that there were bigger goals

(03:22):
in mind. I mean, god forbid, I thought there were
bigger goals in mind. I didn't know that you knew
in the moment while celebrating that what was going to
happen next was an all time gag job at home
and then another awful performance down the stretch in Game two,

(03:45):
All at home.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Cool.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I didn't know. I listened. I didn't know. And I
hope that Knicks fans who were upset about the commentary
and me pointing out the fact that this is supposed
to be an illustrious organization and it's Madison Square Garden,
and some people might have been offended by the fact
that I said that, you know, if you scrape away,

(04:10):
you know some of the walls there where there's an
MSG logo, there's probably a ninety nine cent store logo
somewhere in there. Like again, my apologies, I didn't understand.
I didn't understand in real time what was happening, and
now I do because maybe you kind of had a

(04:31):
sense that, God, this is the best it's gonna get.
I mean, we were favored to win the Eastern Conference
Finals going into the series. That's over. And I got
news for you. That was over after Game one. The
second that ball bounced up in the air and went

(04:51):
in on Halliburton's thought it was a three, but instead
it was a two. The second that happened, that series
was over. And so if you have a bar or
an establishment somewhere within the vicinity of Madison Square Garden
and you're one of those places that really took in

(05:12):
a bunch of customers and a bunch of revenue, and
business was great right after they eliminated Boston last week
and were celebrating the way that they did. Listen, man,
I understand, take whatever you can get, and you did
it up to the max, And now I get it.
I thought it was because and I'll you know full disclosure,

(05:33):
I thought it was pathetic because I assume that you
know NBA championships were what really mattered. I didn't know
that just getting past the second round was that important,
So I was looking at it in a very from
a very narrow point of view. And now that I've
taken a step back and I've seen it in totality
the way you all did probably internally but just didn't

(05:55):
voice it. It's because that probably was the final win
of the season, especially at Madison Square Garden. So I
just want to start off the show by addressing that
I don't want anybody to accuse us from not having
a heart or not being accountable for our words and
our actions. I'm sorry. I didn't know that you also

(06:16):
looked at last week like your championship, because just like championships,
it's the final time you see them do something successful
for a very long time. I didn't know it was
because you realized that the off season started a week
ago before the Eastern Conference finals started. At the Jonas

(06:39):
Knox on x At Jonas Knox Show on Instagram is
where you can find and give us any feedback on
anything we discussed today. So let's transition away from something
that I now understand now I get it to something
that I still don't understand, and I still don't get it.

(07:03):
The coverage of the Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson relationship is
among one of the weirdest things that I've seen still
have momentum since I've been doing radio and since I've
been in sports media, Like there's been things that have

(07:27):
popped up here or there that have kind of, you know,
caused some controversy, like you know the RG three Ryan
Clark thing from you know earlier this week, that that
one was weird. That was really weird. You know Ryan
Ryan Clark just you know, he came off like a
tool like that. That whole thing was where how you
could take one conversation about a sport turn in into

(07:48):
like I don't under that's rure, but it seems like
it's gone, like it you know, it's over it. Listen,
it comes and goes. You know, there's there's like these
little fires that start up and we go all in
and then we put it out with our feet and
then we move on, and then there's these other ones
that just continue to rage on. And I really, legitimately,
for the life of me, don't get it. I get

(08:11):
now why Knicks fans are celebrating I do not get
the obsession and the coverage of what is happening between
Bill Belichick and Jordan Nutson. I don't understand. I really don't.
You got Pablo Torre who is literally going to the
place where he was where Belichick was seen leaving shirtless

(08:35):
on a ring camera. Mike Florio has something on it,
two or three articles a day, and I just don't
get it. I don't. I really don't. For the life
of me, I don't understand it. Like, who cares if

(08:55):
we know where the place was that Belichick left shirtless
on a ring camera?

Speaker 5 (09:01):
No, I don't want to know.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
I don't get it. You got the people who own
the airbnb who are like, oh, well, we were concerned
and we don't know how the video got out, or
it's like who cares, it's my It's like weird on
weird Crime. Look, their relationship is weird, got it, But

(09:22):
the coverage of it in the interest of it is
also weird. If there was moments that took place in
public where like, you know, Belichick's walking around and she's
got him on like a dog leash, and you know,
he's got like fetched toys in his mouth and they're
like crawling around on their hands and knees in Central Park,
or they're crawling around with their hands and knees in Nantucket,

(09:45):
or like I mean, if there's something like that happened
where you're looking at it, going god, this is like
borderline abusive, I can understand that. To my knowledge, none
of that has happened. And we have now entered a
territory where it is suitable and acceptable to go to

(10:06):
the place where a ring camera video of Belichick leaving
someplace with his shirt off is like part of this
great mystery that needs to be solved. Like, just so
we're clear, nobody here is worried about Belichick's well being

(10:26):
at all whatsoever. Nobody is. If they are, it's probably
gonna be his friends who would step in at some point.
So all this is is like this weird voyeur coverage
of a guy in his seventies dating somebody in their twenties.

(10:47):
And I've said it before. Look, you should get first
of all, you should congratulate the guy first of all. Secondly,
you should ask for some advice, and third just sort
of mosy on about of mind your own business. Know
that that's the way I would view this stuff, But
it is wild that this whole thing is still a
topic of conversation.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Still.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
He goes on the Pivot and does an interview, and
then Channing Crowder is like, yeah, it's sort of a
weird dynamic their relationship. She's like, she's in total control
and she's okay. You want to know when I'd be concerned.
If there's a ring camera video of Belichick waking up

(11:33):
on a futon and she's got a revolver pointed at him,
That's when I would be concerned. I'd probably step in
and go, hey, you know, this is a little bit problematic.
Up until now, I don't understand. I really don't. I
don't understand. Like the Knick stuff I get it now,

(11:56):
this I do not get. I don't understand. It makes
There's no sense to me, no matter how anybody tries
to spin it. It's like weird on Weird Crime. It's
a weird relationship, and the obsession with that weird relationship
is weird. And I'll be honest with you, I feel
kind of weird talking about either of them. So maybe

(12:18):
we're having like some weird three way here in sports media.
I don't know, but I do not understand. It does
not make any sense. And until I see something to
be concerned about or something to be worried about, then
I'll start to worry. Then I'll start to be Hey,

(12:39):
that's a little bit troublesome. Like if she's spotted walking
around Nantucket and she's wearing like an air in Hernandez, Jersey. Okay,
let's make a couple of calls. All right, let's make
a couple of calls, you know, Like, let's like if
you find out that her and Bill, because she's got

(13:00):
this new portfolio that is growing, if you find out
that they both bought and are now the co owners
of Orchards of Asia and Jupiter Floor. Okay, now we're
getting somewhere. But if this is just about she's got
some say and control over him and their relationship, that's

(13:22):
got nothing to do with anybody. I'm sorry. I don't
get it. The nick stuff I get now, the Belichick obsession,
I don't get. It's odd and I'm not even gonna
begin to ask what else people are doing with that
ring camera video of Belichick walking around shirtless. The whole

(13:42):
thing is bizarre. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at

another edition of to Do You Care coming up later
on this hour. We've also got the Scraps coming up
next here though it's a done deal, there's a story
in the NFL. Everybody's waiting for the conclusion. We know it,
and a lot more people know it. They're just not
admitting to it yet. That's next. Jonas is counted today.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up in a little
over ten minutes from now. It's that time of the
year in the world of football, and there's somebody to
blame for it. We'll get into that for you again
a little over ten minutes from now here on FSR,
so Will Howard, who was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

(15:02):
He pointed out, I believe with k Adams that he
was excited to work with Aaron Rodgers if in case
that does happen, if Rogers ends up in Pittsburgh, he's
excited about it. He'll work with a would love to
learn from him, So on him, so forth. Art Rooney
the second said, We're willing to wait a little bit

(15:25):
longer for Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers himself was asked by
a fan at an event in Austin with rapper Mike
Studd no relation to the former WWF wrestler Big John
stud but he was at this event with Austin rapper

(15:47):
Mike Studd and had this to say about potentially his
playing future when asked, Hey, would you ever consider playing
for the Bears?

Speaker 6 (15:56):
I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago
this year road trip. I don't know, I sure, let
me check it out.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
And wouldn't you know one of the teams that will
be playing in Chicago this year is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And I got news for you this whole thing is
a done deal. It's done. He's gonna end up in Pittsburgh.
He's going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. There doesn't need

(16:28):
to be any more speculation about it. There doesn't need
to be any more wondering about it. He will be
a Pittsburgh Steelers. This is as sure as you could
possibly be without actually him on the field week one
next year. It's over. He's going to be a Steeler. Now,

(16:50):
I do have it on good authority. I have a
very good source that says that Rogers has been out
here in southern CALIFORNI Warnia training recently, quite often in
and around the Thousand Oaks Westlake Village area. All right,
if you know the eight oh five well at all.

(17:13):
And that is a very good source, very credible source.
All right, So why would you be training, why would
you be getting ready for anything if you were really
unsure about what it is you wanted to do. It's over.
It's a done deal. He's going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler.
And just so we're clear, more people know that it's

(17:36):
a done deal than are really letting on. For example,
the NFL knows it's a done deal. They know it
is they know he's going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler.
How do I know that? Because they scheduled the Jets
in Week one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's how I

(17:57):
know that. And listen, Mike North, who's part of the
NFL scheduling process, he can come out and and and
you know, blow as much smoke around as he wants,
and ty Wall, if we would have known this, we
would have done that. And that's why there's flux scheduling.
And cam Ward's not featured in primetime. But go oh,
like all the other things that he was spewing after
the schedule comes out, let's cut the crap. You're not

(18:20):
scheduling that game if not for the fact that are well,
I mean good Justin Fields, but all right, right, right, right,
right right right, because because Justin Fields, who started what
five games for the Steelers, six games, Like that's the
compelling part of that matchup. Hol Are you Justin Fields
taking on his former team? Okay, let's not pretend like

(18:42):
he had a two to three year run like he
did in Chicago. Justin Fields was a quarterback in Pittsburgh
for twenty minutes. Let's not pretend like all of a sudden,
that's the storyline that's juicy to everyone, and that's the
one you want to open up with. Let's just stop,
let's cut the crap. You know Rogers is going to

(19:06):
be the quarterback for Pittsburgh next year. That's why it's
on the schedule. It's done the NFL does day. You
know who else knows it? ESPN, CBS, and NBC. They
all know it. Want to know how I know that?
Because that Steelers Bears game in Week twelve that Rogers

(19:31):
referenced without referencing when asked by a fan whether or
not he played quarterback for the Bears. That game's getting flexed.
That Week twelve matchup is currently set at one Eastern
time on CBS. I got news for you. It's either
getting flexed to Sunday Night Football or it's getting flexed

(19:54):
to Monday night and you can book it F eight
this mark this down if you will remember this, that
game in Week twelve between the Steelers and the Bears
where Rogers goes back to Soldier Field after all those
years in Green Bay and talking about ownership he has

(20:17):
and his dominance over the Bears. That game's getting flexed
it's either going to be the Sunday night football game
or the Monday night football game. And just to add
a little bit more proof to this, Sunday Night football
that week is the Bucks and the Rams. Monday night
football is the Panthers and the forty nine Ers. Apologies

(20:38):
to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the La Rams, both
playoff teams a year ago. But if you asked NBC,
even if the Bears and Steelers are just average football teams, hey,
which one do you think would draw a better number?
Bucks at Rams or Aaron Rodgers going back to Chicago?

(20:58):
You know the answer. And without even needing to apologize,
we'll just do this in advance to the Carolina Panthers
and San Francisco forty nine Ers. You do realize that
Monday night games can start being flexed week twelve, and
that game.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Just happens to fall in week twelve.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
That one's getting flexed too. Like, we can try and
dance around this all you all we want, and we
can go, oh, well maybe not. You know, he's still going. Look,
he's taking care of his business, he's doing his thing.
It's all good. I'm telling you right now, it's over
it's a done deal, and people within the NFL know
it's a done deal. That's why the schedule looked the

(21:41):
way it looked over the past week or so. That's
why these games were set up the way that they
were the past week or so. The Steelers know it. Roger,
it's over. He's going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and
now we just wait to see how many times he's
featured during the course of the year. Jonas Knoxy or

here on FSR for all the latest though from around
the world of sports. A man who couldn't be bothered

(22:46):
to spend time with us a week ago.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Oh jeez, See right away he starts.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
With so he basically kicked you in the nuts as
a listener to this show, that part is true and
told you to go screw yourself. He's one and only
Isaac Longcroft. Hang on a second, look who's back.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
I was in a memorial service last Saturday. By the way,
thank you very much for who for your career? Damn okay,
all right, trust me that one was pretty good. That
was actually pretty good.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Taking a sip of coffee, well done. And by the way,
you ain't lying, by the way, you know what. I
feel bad about that. So I want to get I
want to make things right with you. Until that unwarranted
attack on me to open this. I was literally about
to compliment you and give you kudos on that very

(23:52):
nice and very appropriate Big John stud reference from earlier
love Big I would always get him confused with Hillbilly
Jim by the way. But they were they would see
that they were memorable personalities. Incidentally, a few people know this,
but Big John Studd at six ten and He'll Billy
Jim at six seven. For three years during the eighties,

(24:12):
they also moonlighted as the starting forwards for the Milwaukee Bucks.
I don't know if a lot of people out there
really by the way, yeah, well, they were playing with
Mecca at the Mecca in Milwaukee.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
You can look it up.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Wait a second, Big John Stud and He'll Billy Jim
played for the Bucks.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
Big John Studd was six' ten Hill Billy jim was six.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Seven what do you want me to be honest with.
YOU i. HADN'T i didn't have it on MY i didn't.
Realize i'm. Kidding i'm. Kidding oh, Really oh you're. Joking,

beating Out Jack sigma for minutes In milwaukee is an
amazing stat to. Have, WELL i that's.

Specifically all, right this one, specifically BECAUSE i hate. IT

(29:58):
i can't stand. IT i can't stand that this is
what we're. DOING i can't stand that we judge people at.
PRACTICE i can't stand that we're keeping score at. Practice
As i've said a thousand times, before imagine this happening
where you. Work all, right just, imagine all, right you're
not actually judged on your. Shift you're judged with how

(30:21):
you get ready for your. Shift like imagine putting on
your work outfit and your boss calling you before your shift,
saying didn't come on a fix your? Belt what? Like
did what are you? Doing like, no, no, no, no no
no no fix the caller and you're like, no, no, no no.
No it doesn't make. Sense but we do this in
THE nfl to this case, specifically, though because we've got

(30:42):
plenty of. Time this is going to happen all off
season to. This and by the, way if your Cam
Ward shit Or, Sanders Dylan, gabriel any rookie, quarterback any,
Quarterback Tyler, Shuck Jackson dart any rookie, quarterback just so you,
know this is how this. Works they're going to criticize
and keep score of your stats at training camp. Practices

(31:04):
that's how that's, happening, Right i'm telling, you right, NOW
i want to call my shot on. That but to
this case, specifically there is somebody to blame for the
fact that we're keeping track Of Drake may's interceptions At OTA's,
right and that's somebody is The Boston. Celtics you're the
reason for. This you because if you would have played

(31:28):
better and continue to keep playing and actually done what
you should have, done which is hold on to multiple
twenty point leads in a series against a team, that
as it turns, out isn't all that. Good had you
just done your, job to quote the Great patriots Coach Bill,
belichick had you just done your? Job this isn't a,

(31:52):
story but it's a story because it's either that or
you talk about whether or Not Raphael devers has any
friends left In. Boston like, you you got a couple
of choices, there and apparently we've taken this. Choice, so
if you are like me and you feel like these
are a bit out of, line keeping track of this

(32:15):
stuff and keeping stats on this stuff is very. Strange
if you're like me and you feel that, way don't.
Worry this is just the. Beginning you're ready for all
of this during THE nfl, offseason but in this, case,
specifically it's The Boston celtics who crapped the bed and
defecated multiple times over in their matchup against The, knicks

(32:38):
which is why this got even a fraction of the
coverage it did when it came To Drake may turning
the ball over At OTA's Jonas knox Here Fox Sports

Speaker 3 (34:03):
So many stories in the world of, sports and most
of them are a complete waste of TIME dmz. Reports
let's get. Kinky here's some of the big stories from
the last. Week But, jonas the real question is do you?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Care?

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah for, that we turned it over to our executive
Producer Bo benson to find out what the hell people
have been talking about all?

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Week.

Speaker 9 (34:23):
Bo, so THE nfl held their meetings this week and
they voted on a few. Things one of the things
was banning The eagles toush. Push it did not. Succeed
it fell two votes short of what was, needed and
during an impassioned speech By eagles Owner Jeffrey. Lurry, lurry
he apparently upset some of the other owners in, there

(34:44):
likening The eagles finding the play that was so good
that it needed to be banned to be stopped to
a teenage boy's wet. Dream, So, jonas do you care
About Jeffrey lurry's statement and owners getting upset by?

Speaker 4 (34:57):
It, yes YES i. DO i love it. HERE i
think it's. HILARIOUS i think it's. Wonderful how About Jeffrey
lourie going in there, like you know, what, man if
you guys are gonna get rid of, it you're gonna
get rid of. It i'm just gonna let it. Fly
And Troy vincent, gone oh, black you know there's women in.
Here you're talking about a teenage boys wet. Dream first of,

(35:18):
all it's a real. Thing, secondly the fact that he did,
that acted the way that he, acted spoke the way
that he, spoke and they were able to not come
up with enough votes against it tells me The eagles
run the. Show it's their, league it's their. World everybody

(35:40):
else is just a. Renter at this. Point you are
renting right. Now philly got their, way and they did
it on their. Terms where you got the owner dropping teenage,
boys wet dreams lines like he's doing a stand up,
set pissing everybody, off offending, everybody and still getting his.
Way good for The. Eagles and by the, Way i'm.

(36:02):
Happy i'm happy that it wasn't, banned because if you're
not going to pass The lions playoff seating, proposal which
makes way more sense than what we currently, have then screw.
You you don't get the tush push.

Speaker 9 (36:15):
Band, Next jets wide Receiver Garrett wilson says that he
hopes to remain with a team long, term uttering words
that may have never been said before in human. History
he said that he's hopeful he's A jet for. Life,
jonas do you? Care, Yeah, NO i do care BECAUSE
i THINK i love. Him i'm concerned for his well.
Being that is that's. Disturbing Like Fireman ed didn't.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Even want to be A jet for, Life, Okay like
he was out of there for a certain amount of,
time like he was like this is enough's, Enough y's
THAT'S i, mean that's, Concerning, LIKE i, mean it's not
as concerning As Rex ryan getting a tattoo Of Mark
sanchez that that was a little, weird but this is
concerning that he would want to be a jet for.

(37:00):
LIFE i don't know who could possibly ever want to
be a jet for life based on what you've. Seen
but maybe he's got high Enough madden ratings that you
know the owner's son approves of.

Speaker 9 (37:09):
It, Next Lebron james finished sixth IN NBA mvp voting
and was named to The ALL Nba Second team this
week at forty years.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Old, jonas do you CARE i do from this, standpoint.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
BECAUSE i actually THOUGHT i brought this.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Up maybe this is WHY i came in thinking two
pros and a cup of. Joe BUT i brought this
up on two pros and a cup Of. Joe Where
Reggie miller made the. POINT i think he was on
The all The smoke podcast and he, Said Michael jordan's
the best. Ever Lebron james has had the best. Career you,
like you cannot dispute what he's doing at his age

(37:48):
or at any, age to be able to do it this,
long for however long it. Is and, listen he's got his.
Flaws it's. Irritating you, know he's a bit of a.
Blowhard you're not really. Sure it feels a little, disingenuous
and all of that is. True totally get. It but
what he's doing in his, age we are never going
to see. Again the only thing comparable we have seen

(38:12):
is in another, sport and It's Tom brady and what
he did in THE, nfl and for that and and
just to be able to do it for as long
as he, has as healthy as he's been this entire.
Time you got to commend the. Guy.

Speaker 9 (38:24):
Next The Pittsburgh, pirates they put their foot down earlier this.
Week they addressed to rumors and reports that they could
Trade Paul skins by, saying, no they're not going to
Trade Paul. Skeins, jonas do you? Care, NO i don't
care about this all.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Story, Listen we're talking about a franchise who's two highlights
for the year are whether or not they're going to
trade their best player and why some guy, thought you,
know the warning track was an invisible swimming, Pool LIKE i,
LOOK i don't know what to tell you, Guys, like,
listen it's. Uh and then his buddy gets. Popped his
buddy gets in trouble because he bought the guy two.
Beers like you know, what, man if you have a

(38:59):
couple Of irons things get away from me a little,
bit not saying that's what it, was but that's a
fine beer out In. Pittsburgh big fan Of, pittsburgh a
Big penguins fan, here just saying The pirates are. Irrelevant
they've been irrelevant for decades. NOW i think the last
Known pirates player might have been Like Brian giles Or Doug.
Drebeck and then you Get Barry bonds before the, gas

(39:22):
Which Barry bonds before the gas and after the, gas
like two different human. Beings it's great, players but it's,
like this is what you. Got he's our best, player
but let's talk about trading. Him, now come on.

Speaker 9 (39:33):
Next Ryan clark And Robert griffin The third got into
a little bit of a spat over The angel Reeze
Caitlin clark Hardfoul Jonas do you?

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Care, NO i don't. CARE i don't.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Care.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
IAN i know that we, really, really really really want
THE wnba to be on par with these other, sports
but to like take it in this direction to try
and get it on par with other sports is really
that's something you, Know LIKE i just. Didn't it seemed
like the wisest tactic in the. World From Ryan. Clark
if we're being honest, here.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Yeah you, know.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
Probably should have handled this a little bit better for being.
Honest if we're being, honest probably should have been handled
a little bit better than. This it's AN nfl, story
and it's yours coming up here in just a couple
of moments from, Now Jonas, Knox Fox Sports. Radio you
can hang out with us as always on The iHeartRadio.
App you can find us on hundreds of affiliates all
across the country and wherever you are making us a

(40:28):
part of Your saturday, afternoon we appreciate you doing. So
we are going to take you all the way up
until the end of this hour four Pm eastern, time
one O'clock. Pacific we started out the show and we
discussed this last hour the big news out of THE.
NFL i don't, know it's big, news all. Right So
rogers was In austin at an event with Rapper Mike

(40:49):
studd and was asked by somebody in the crowd whether
or not he would play quarterback for The, bears and this,
HEAD i.

Speaker 6 (40:56):
Believe there's a team that might play In chicago this year.
TRIP i don't know, sure let me check it.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Out so that team that he may or may not
have been referring to That i'm saying he was referring
to is The Pittsburgh. Steelers they will be In chicago
week twelve to take on The. Bears and so my
thought on this whole thing, Is, okay it's a done.
Deal that's a. Wrap he's going to be In. Pittsburgh
not that we needed that is the. Proof it's all
the other things that we've, heard all the. Rumblings he's

(41:25):
out here training getting. Ready why would he be training
and getting ready for anything if he wasn't coming, back
so on and so. Forth and so you look at
that and you, go, well that's a marquee. Matchup that's
him going, back him playing In chicago after all these,
years and we're going to get to see that. Game
we're going to get to see a playout in week.
TWELVE i also said, it AND i called my shot
that game's going to get. Flexed that game will get flexed.

(41:47):
Out it's currently set for one Pm eastern. Time it's
A cbs game noon local time In. CHICAGO i think
that gets either Flex thursday To sunday night football or
gets flexed To monday night Football i'll predict right now
based on the Matchups sunday night As Bucks Rams monday
night As panthers forty nine. ERS i think that's what

(42:07):
we're going to. Get AND i think that, game if
both teams are even decent average to a little below
Average pittsburgh In, chicago that game's gonna get flex because
everybody's going to want to see that in, primetime especially
If rogers is still healthy and playing well at that.
Time and so the conversation, becomes, well you, know it
takes two to, dance you, know it takes two to.

(42:27):
Tango we got to have somebody else of interest in
this potential game that we're going to, get and that's
somebody else of interest would be The Chicago bears and
would be their potential star quarterback In Caleb. Williams and,
so you, know this book comes out a couple weeks

(42:48):
back With Seth wickersham talking About Kayleb williams and his,
dad you, know pointing out the flaws With chicago And
Caleb williams dad Calling chicago the place where quarterbacks go to. Die,
williams you, know Loving minnesota and Loving kevin O'Connell and,
SAYING i got to get To minnesota and all, that
and then deciding, ultimately, hey, no, listen you, Know chicago's

(43:10):
WHERE i want to. BE i THINK i can help
turn this place. Around so on and so, forth and
so you, Know Ben, Johnson Caleb williams head. Coach he
spoke with the, media and the reason he had to
speak with the media about it this week is Because
Caleb williams Didn't he just decided to bolt After OTA's

(43:30):
didn't meet with the. Media so here was his head.

Speaker 10 (43:32):
Coach it's coming to my attention that the quarterbacks have
been out in the media over the last, week and
just a gall out in front of that a little
bit and just wanted to SAY i wasn't here last,
year and SO i can't speak too much in terms
of what it was like before he got here and
when he got here last. Year but for my four
months on the, job he's been outstanding to work with

(43:53):
and we just are focusing on getting a little better every. Day.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Okay so now people are split on this and there's
a discussion about how it should have been. Handled so
and you've got some people that cover The bears and
that are fans of The bears who view the whole
story and View Cater williams not speaking to the media

(44:19):
afterwards as, wow no big. Deal you, know, listen it's,
This this is not a big. Deal it's no big.
Deal it's you, know. Okay and then you got other
people who look at it and, go, no it's a huge,
deal and it's and you, know he didn't want to be,
there and now he's not talking about, It AND i
look at it like this Because i'm going to take

(44:41):
the best of both. Worlds going into his season last,
year all of the concerns that people had About, chicago
about the, organization about the current state of the organization
at that. Time going into twenty twenty, four almost everybody

(45:06):
was saying the same exact things That Caleb williams and
his dad Told Seth wickersham before the. Draft those are
all the same things that everybody was. Saying AND i
made the point last week that man Brock purdy getting
the contract he got as the last pick of the

(45:29):
draft is exactly Why Caleb williams and his dad were
so adamant about we need the right situation to have.
Success it's not then being snakes about not wanting to
go to some organization or then being divas and then being.
Dude you could make the argument About Eli, Manning you

(45:50):
could make the argument About John elway AND i got
news for. You both those guys were right. Too how
right Was John Elway baltimore or didn't even stay In
baltimore they went To? Indy how right Was Eli? Manning
San diego now plays a couple hours up the road

(46:11):
In Sofi, stadium like you know WHAT i? Mean so
it's not after the, fact it isn't like, BYE i
don't know may it could have gone either. Way, no
they were one hundred percent spot on with their. Concerns so,
yes that's the. Truth he was. Right Caleb williams was

(46:34):
right to have. Concerns where he's wrong is not at
least addressing this and getting out in front of it
and just squashing it right where it. Is should have
spoken to the, media should have just answered the questions
and get it out of the way now because eventually
you're just gonna have to do it. Anyways but instead

(46:55):
he decided to, leave didn't want to talk about, it
didn't want to address, it didn't want to speak to the,
media and now his head coach multiple times over has
now had to speak about something that happened when he
wasn't even. There this Isn't Ben johnson's. Problem this shouldn't
be his. Problem he's having to take the bullets For

(47:20):
Caleb williams Because Kayleb williams didn't want to talk to the. Media,
dude just get it done, with get it over. WITH i,
mean it's too late now. Anyways it's not like you
can go back in time and not get. Drafted, no
it was. Said, clearly there's some validity to. It clearly
it was, true and clearly he was. Right but If

(47:41):
Kayleb williams would have stepped up to the podium and
talked to the media and, said, look at the, time
my dad AND i had some concerns with the, organization
with the direction of the. Organization we just wanted the
best spot for. Us and my dad is my, dad
he wants the best thing for. Me but after we
got here To chicago and got to meet some people

(48:01):
inside the, BUILDING i, realized much like the article laid,
OUT i, realized this is WHERE i want to, be
and this is WHERE i want to be for my.
Career it's not like in the article it Painted Kayleb
williams as a bad. Guy it made it seem like
his dad was the one more aggressive about not wanting

(48:23):
to be In, chicago when in, fact it points Out
Caleb williams after meeting people inside the building and finding
out look where like this is where you're going to get,
drafted he, realized, NO i want to be. Here this
is WHERE i want to. Be all of that's a
good thing to, happen it's a good thing to. Have
but instead of just addressing, that pointing that out and handling,

(48:43):
that he kicked the can down the, road and unfortunately
the can ends up On Ben johnson's feet and he's
got to answer the questions and he's now had to
address it multiple times when it could have been squashed
like people trying to, say oh, god this is. Nothing
it's much to do about. Nothing, well, no it's it's
not the biggest deal in the, world but it's, something

(49:06):
when it didn't have to be anything at. All had
he just answered the question like two things can be,
True Kayleb williams was right in his estimation and concerns
about The Chicago. Bears he was, right, Absolutely and if
you're A bears, fan denying that you're a, doormat like
you've Got stockholm, Syndrome LIKE i don't, Know like it's the.

(49:29):
Truth there should be, concerns like the organization has not been.
Successful they've got five maybe six wins since they won
The Super bowl in eighty. Five they've got five to
six playoff wins since The Super bowl in eighty. Five
i'm not making that. Up that's the reality of the

(49:52):
state of the organization and the run that they've been.
On so he was right to have, concerns but he
was wrong and not addressing the comments that came out,
afterwards because eventually he's gonna get asked about. It you
can't just avoid it. Forever you can't get to training
camp and claim. Laryngitis you can't get there and all

(50:12):
of a, sudden, say you, know pull A Sammy sosa
and say you don't Speak english even though everyone knows you. Do,
like you can't do. That he's got to address the,
situation and had he just addressed it a couple of
days ago or this past week with the, media five ten,
minutes it's over and everybody moves. On so two things
can be. True he was right to have. Concerns he
was wrong not to respond to the story about his.

(50:34):
Concerns Jonas knox Here Fox Sports radio at The Jonas

(54:00):
host sports betting. Analyst you can find him on x
At Jared Smith Bets. Jared what's? Happening Happy? Saturday how
are we? Feeling jonas feeling?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Great?

Speaker 8 (54:08):
Man we're getting to, that you, know that weird twilight
of THE NBA nhl and then we kind of get
the dol.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Drums But i'd be, Honest i'm at the point of.

Speaker 8 (54:16):
My handicapping cycle where it's football all the, time twenty
four to, seven three sixty.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
Five, Okay so this is WHY i want to have you,
on because you'd reached out that you've been working on,
something and first of, ALL i don't even want to
ask how long it took you to put, on but
explain to, people especially all THE nfl fans out, there
exactly what it is you did and what was the
motivation behind.

Speaker 8 (54:42):
It SO i call it the, MATRIX i, guess more
specifically the spread, matrix And i've done it, now this
is my second year doing. IT i got the inspiration
from another handicapper who does it DIFFERENT i would say
a little bit more watered down version of, It and
essentially what he does is he puts every team on
a spreadsheet and then he met apps out the entire
season based off of travel and, rest WHICH i think

(55:04):
are two very important things that you want to. Know,
hey this team plays On monday, night then they have
a short, week and how many days do they have?
Off and how many games did they play at a
rest advantage and arrest. DISADVANTAGE i think those things are very.
Important SO i kind of took that and then added
the spreads of all two hundred and seventy two games
to each, box because certain sportsbooks have every single game

(55:26):
from all eighteen weeks listed.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
Already and what that.

Speaker 8 (55:29):
Does that added layer allows me to kind of, say,
hey this team starts the season with three games and
they're a big. Underdog maybe we don't want to bet
an over on their win total right out of the,
Gate maybe we want to be a little bit patient
or vice. Versa, hey this team is a really easy
start to the. Year they're a big favorite in their
first three. Games that's a team That i'd be looking
at to bet in the futures market. Early so, essentially

(55:50):
what it does is it gives me the opportunity to
roadmap each, Team so all thirty two. TEAMS i know
this team has, this this game, late this game, EARLY
i want to bet like. It it just allows me
to gather my thoughts and create a strategy for each
team so that when we get To august And september
and we're actually betting these, GAMES i can look back and, say,
hey here's my. Strategy has it. Changed DO i like

(56:12):
this strategy even more? So it just it's kind of
like a, Timeline like we get to the, draft and
the draft is always fun because you, know we get
to see what the future, is but we don't know
if these guys are going to be playing in you,
know a few. Months but the schedule is, solid like
we know this is the, map this is the you,
know the path that these teams, take and it just
gives me so much, MORE i would, say of an,

(56:33):
edge getting ahead of what we're going to see In.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
August In, september he Is Jared smith joining us here
On Fox Sports. Radio Fox Sports radio host sports betting
analyst as well. Too here again get them on x
At Jared Smith betts is where you can find this entire.
GRAPH i, mean, Now i'm, curious how long did it
take you to do? It it took. Me so the schedule,
DROPPED i believe it was A.

Speaker 8 (56:54):
WEDNESDAY i had week one already done because week one
we were kind of getting the you, know the the
drops of certain, games SO i had the first week almost.
SET i would say when the schedule Dropped wednesday, night
it was an all night thing AND i probably went
to bed at like one in the. MORNING i woke Up,
thursday AND i probably spent another six to eight hours on,

(57:16):
it and THEN i dropped it On friday, morning and,
that you, know SO i would say it probably was
twelve to fifteen hours of just like you knowing the
scene and the social network where he's like he's wired
In oh that's what it was. LIKE i was just
like it was LIKE i was, coding like you just
get in a groove with each, team and THEN i

(57:36):
color coded it and something slipped through the. Cracks like
WHEN i posted, that a couple people reach. OUT i
Put pittsburgh Against pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (57:43):
One of the, weeks LIKE i had.

Speaker 8 (57:44):
One there's always one team THAT i like have like
a you, know an error on and then some of
the rest advantage stuff took me a couple days, afterwards like,
HEY i made a mistake, here BUT i would say
the first iteration of it about fifteen.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
Hours so now when it comes to futures and being
able to step, back, now look at the, chart look
at all the rest everything else that goes along with
how you are viewing every team in the. League now
that you see it from your vantage, point which teams
really have a beneficial schedule and which teams might be

(58:21):
up against it that maybe aren't getting the, coverage aren't
getting the looks that some people are talking.

Speaker 8 (58:25):
About, well there's three teams that are at a severe
rest disadvantage this. Season two of them are teams that
we expect to be Bad vegas And New. Orleans New
orleans actually has to face a team coming off of
a bye three times throughout the course of the, season
which is a. Lot and there ARE i, believe twelve
TEAMS i also tweeted this out, earlier twelve teams that

(58:47):
don't face a team coming off of by the entire,
season and that's random like. THAT i don't think THE
nfl takes that into account when they're making these, schedules because,
again there are multiple Teams Bay San, Francisco, Philly, Miami, Rams, Chargers, Jags, Colts, Lions, Ravens.
Cardinals those teams do not face the team all year

(59:09):
coming off of. Bye, Meanwhile New orleans three times throughout
the course of the, Season buffalo twice throughout the course
of the season has to face team coming off By
and the team THAT i think got the worst of
the worst when it comes to schedule, luck The Washington.
Commanders three teams this year they have to face coming
off of a, bye and it's JUST i think the

(59:30):
added pressure coming off of the season they had last,
year in addition to the fact that they are favored
in a lot of, games like don't get me, wrong
they're favored in twelve out of their seventeen, games and
their win total deserves to be relatively.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
HIGH i believe.

Speaker 8 (59:43):
It's nine and a, half so it's fair to think
they can win ten. Games but out of those twelve
games that they're favored, in three of them are teams
coming off of By, Chicago, seattle and The, giants AND
i just Think washington's gonna have a tough time getting
over their win. Total like they were a dregs of
The kegs team last. Year they hit lightning in a
bottle with jayde And, daniels and now you jack up

(01:00:05):
their win total, significantly and now there's expectation that comes
along with, it AND i just don't know if they're
gonna be able to match.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
It and also look at you could just point to
a couple of games that they won that they probably
should have. Lost One chicago game together being that wild
game Against philly Where Jalden hurts got. Hurt and we've
seen this. BEFORE i can. Remember the most notable, WAS
i think it was twenty sixteen when The raiders had
that great Year Derek carr got hurt later in the.
Year you went back and you looked at how many

(01:00:32):
close games they, won and you realize well, THAT i,
mean it's not likely that plays out two years in a.
Row and what ended up happening was they had a
major down year in comparison to the previous. Year so
that would seem to add up a little bit with
a team Like.

Speaker 8 (01:00:45):
Washington, ABSOLUTELY i think there's another team THAT i think
has a stretch of games that is you, know and
we talk about this team a lot as a team
that's very, consistent The Pittsburgh, steelers BUT i think this
is a team this. Year now they do start against
The jets if they do Have Aaron, rodgers AND i
don't know if you heard the clip from him In,
Austin texas the other, night, yes, like AND i THINK

(01:01:06):
i came on with you like a month ago during
the draft it was Like Aaron rodgers going To, Pittsburgh,
like it's just a matter of, when it's not. If
so let's just assume That Aaron rodgers is In. Pittsburgh,
here they start the season against The jets and The,
seahawks like those are two very winnable. Games then they
go To New. England then they have to get on
a plane and go To ireland and Play, minnesota and
then they get that really early. By AND i bet
if you Ask, lebar if you asked all THE nfl players,

(01:01:26):
like you want the late, by especially if you're a
veteran team like The steelers.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Are so having a buy In week FIVE i.

Speaker 8 (01:01:31):
Do not think Benefits. Pittsburgh and then they go through this,
gauntlet like they come off the, bye they Face. Cleveland
they should win that, game but then they have this
gauntlet of eight games in a. Row At cincinnati on
A thursday night after on a short, Week then they
play The packers.

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
On A sunday. Night then they play The colts at.
Home that a's a winnable.

Speaker 8 (01:01:48):
Game and then the gauntlet really starts at The chargers
going to The West coast on A sunday. Night then
you come home and you face The, bengals who are
coming off of a Boy then you go To. Chicago
then you face The, bills and by the, way The
bills are coming off A thursday night, game so they
have a mini. Buy then you face The ravens on the. Road,
oh by the, way The Ravens thursday night game the prior,
week so they have three extra days. Rest then you

(01:02:09):
face The dolphins on A monday night then you have
to go To detroit on a short week and face
that Physical.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Lions team In week.

Speaker 8 (01:02:15):
SIXTEEN i, MEAN i just Think pittsburgh AND i know
they always are above five, hundred but that stretch starting
In week ten with The sunday night trip to The,
chargers ending In week sixteen going to The, LIONS i,
Mean i'll be, honest if they win two out of
those seven, Games i'll be.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Shocked, yeah and looking at it right, NOW i believe
they're underdogs in most of those, games, right, yes down, there.

Speaker 8 (01:02:36):
They're underdogs in almost every game in that stretch except For,
miami they're. DOGS i think they're dogs in. More, yeah
they're dogs in eleven out of their seventeen. Games i'll
make the exclamssion. Here It's may twenty, Fourth, pittsburgh will
this will be the year that The Mike tomlin above
five hundred street comes to?

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
It? Wow how about?

Speaker 7 (01:02:52):
That look at?

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
THAT i, mean you know you. Do you're A penn state.
Alone there's probably Some steeler fans who are also paying
state along with The Franco harris, jerseys are coing around
going what the f, Man what the F i was
never a part of The Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 (01:03:06):
Battle you, know it's actually A Penn, state really Strong
Long island contingent out. There all My New yorkers go
to penns they love. It The jersey guys they love
The Pence.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
Day all, Right so the last thing we want to
ask you about before we let you. Go by the,
way this is A Jared smith joining us. Here we'll
give out all the infoto where people can find this
chart that you put together because it's. Phenomenal it's they
must have before THE nfl, season or something to watch
and look for as you get ready for THE nfl.
Season let me ask you about a team that going
into this, OFFSEASON i was, like it's over window. Close

(01:03:36):
And i'm not saying they're gonna win a Super, bowl
but The Niners i've kind of done a one eighty.
On and it's not because of the Brock pretty. Deal
And i'm not the craziest Brock pretty, fan BUT i
do think he's a good enough quarterback. There we've seen
him take that help take that team and go to
a Super bowl and play well in that Super. Bowl
but THEN i looked at their, schedule AND i looked
at the fact that, well you know they're going to get.

(01:03:57):
Back i'm assuming they're going to have a healthy year
than they did a year. Ago i'm Assuming Ricky piersoll
is not going to get shot in the streets because
somebody wants his rolex. Again like there's a lot of
crazy things that, happened AND i look at The niners
AND i, go you, know it kind of does make
sense that that would be a spot or a team
that you could see bouncing. Back AND i think their win,

(01:04:18):
total IF i have, IT i think it's is it
ten and a half or eleven and a half something like.
That what do you see for The niners this year
based on everything you've done in the analysis you've done
on breaking down their path to try and get back
to the.

Speaker 8 (01:04:29):
Postseason definitely an. Overteam so they're favored in sixteen. GAMES i, mean,
actually excuse, me fifteen. Games they're favorite in fifteen out
of seventeen games this, year so right out of the,
gate and they're not a big favorite in all those.
Games they're only favored by three or more ten times
out of the, fifteen so five out of the you,
know you, know basically they're one two point favorites for

(01:04:52):
the most part their field goal. Favorite they're only favored
by touchdown or more, once so they're relatively short favorites
in a lot of these. Games but they're still favored
to win fifteen out of the seventeen. Games and they've
got the number one strength of schedule in terms of.
Easiness and then you look at the rest. Advantage SO
i have the historical rest advantages too of teams that
have you, know either been a plus or a minus

(01:05:13):
in that category in prior. Years last, Year San francisco
had a twenty two day net rest disadvantage compared to
the rest of THE. Nfl they were the unluckiest team
in terms of. Rest so that aligns with the fact
that they were the most banged up. Team so maybe
you can say the injuries weren't caused by the, rest
but being at a rest disadvantage and being banged up

(01:05:35):
like those are two things that are just compounding the.
Problems So i'm not surprised that they had a bad.
Year now you look at the schedule this. YEAR i,
mean look at their first four, games AND i Know
seattle's no picnic on the, road but they're favored in that,
game and then they Face New, Orleans arizona And. Jacksonville
they're probably gonna be three and. One they have a
decent shot out to be four and oh right out

(01:05:56):
of the. Gate and then they go to The rams
on A thursday, night which, is as you, know not
a difficult, trip not a difficult travel, Disadvantage like probably
a ton Of niners fans at so.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Far for that.

Speaker 8 (01:06:06):
Game AND i think that's when we'll really know how
good This niners team, is BECAUSE i think The rams
and The rams are fascinating team. Too The, rams if
you go back and look at the playoffs last, year
The rams are the only team that gave The eagles
even a semblance of a. Game SO i think The
rams are maybe not the, best but definitely ONE, a ONE.
B San francisco laar in THAT Nfc, west and then

(01:06:28):
they Face Tampa bay after, That like if they start
out the year five and one and the most difficult
part of their schedule is behind, them like those are
the only two games they're underdogs in all. Years AT
la and At Tampa, bay they're favored or projected to
be favored for the rest of the.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
Game so if they.

Speaker 8 (01:06:44):
Can figure out a way to start five to, one
four and. Two, YEAH i mean ten and a half's
the win. TOTAL i think over is a really good
bet for The.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):

Speaker 7 (01:14:51):

Speaker 4 (01:14:51):
Bo.

Speaker 9 (01:14:52):
Yeah FORMER Nfl Center eagle Center Jason kelce was On
New heights his podcast with his, brother and he had
this to, say THE nfl putting the best games in.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Primetime, Now i'm also.

Speaker 11 (01:15:02):
Just a fan of playing on more primetime times like
that's When i'm WATCHING, tv AND i like you when
football is on the. Television so let's keep putting good
football games on television when everybody's. WATCHING i, MEAN i
think it's.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
Just good for the.

Speaker 11 (01:15:15):
Game let's keep taking over all the holidays or taking Over, Thanksgiving. CHRISTMAS,
Nba you're you're never getting that. BACK i, mean it's
it's that's the way it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
Is he's one hundred percent spot. On, yeah, absolutely and
the worst thing to happen to the, end because there's
an argument, like, oh, what you, know why is THE nba?
Struggling or what's the worst thing to happen to THE.
Nba and it's not like all of THE nba is.
Struggling you've got great. Players there's exciting moments, Still but
as a, whole one of the worst things to happen

(01:15:44):
to THE nba was when THE nfl was, like you,
know why don't we start playing On? Christmas you, know,
like why don't You, well, actually, yeah it's a great.
Idea why why don't we start doing? THAT i didn't
happen once it was.

Speaker 9 (01:15:57):
Over, Yeah, NO i just think remember saying that With Aaron.
Tory Where as like three four years, ago whenever it
was they first started doing, that we were doing the
eight o'clock show here At Buckfast, radio and, yeah like
as soon as THE nfl was, like we'll play one
game On christmas and that was a. Hit, okay we're
gonna play two and three and then, yeah THE nba
just doesn't have the claim For christmas dy anymore the
way that it used to because THE nfl took it from.

Speaker 4 (01:16:18):
Them, yeah and when you look at the day of
the week That chris because the argument against it would Be,
well it's in the middle of THE nfl. Season you
can't play games on certain days of the week because you,
know rest and all the other things that go along with.
It and then you look at Where christmas falls this,
year and If i'm not, mistaken So christmas this year
is A, thursday THE nfl already plays. Games then, anyways next,

(01:16:40):
YEAR i think it's A. Friday like we're talking like
four or five years before you can even have the discussion, of,
yeah we're not sure if it's the best for players
because of. Rest it's over like. That that is theirs,
now and THE nba is just gonna have to deal with,
it which is Why i've, said, look, man you can
try and compet with THE nfl all you, want or

(01:17:01):
you can just realize we've. Lost now we've got to
carve out our own Niche, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:17:05):
AND i mean also, too if THE nfl wants to
play On Christmas day and the rest schedule isn't, GREAT
i think THE nfl is going to play On Chrismas.

Speaker 4 (01:17:11):
Day it doesn't Really oh, yeah, yeah what do they?

Speaker 9 (01:17:12):
Do they don't they don't.

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
Care, yeah that'd be.

Speaker 9 (01:17:15):
Fine His shoeotani was supposed to throw, today but that
got pushed back because of The dodgers played a thirteen
inning game last night due to. Rain but he will
begin throwing two hitters for the first time as he
recovers from right elbow surgery.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
Today all, Right SO.

Speaker 4 (01:17:31):
I just want to point this out because you, know
it's been a, while obviously since we've seen Shoe heotani.
Pitch it's gonna be fun anytime he's. On just watch
a bullpen session is fun to. Watch BUT i just
want to point this. Out something to keep an eye on.
Bow Shoe aotani is the favorite to WIN NL mvp

(01:17:51):
all of a. Sudden do you know has who has
the fourth shortest odds to WIN NL? Mvp three, Words
pete Crows. Strong i'm telling, you, man AND i brought
his name up a while back and nobody knew who
the HELL i was talking. About i'm telling, You. Boe

the most exciting players in sports to.
