Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have had better stop from the beginning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
To Jonas Knocks. You thought you knew me, You didn't
know anything about me.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
He's crazier than air else.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks, You heard me.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
The Friends of 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. Y. Okay, I'll
reported this world.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Uh oh, got ourselves a little hostage situation in the
world of sports. Oh no, we'll get into that for
you coming up here in just a couple of moments
from now, Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can listen.
This show is always on the iHeartRadio app. You can
find us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country

(01:08):
and wherever you are making us a part of your
Saturday morning into the afternoon. We appreciate you doing so.
We're going to take you all the way up until
four pm Eastern time one o'clock Pacific, And ladies and gentlemen,
we have got ourselves a hostage situation in the world
of sports. This happens periodically. Why it happens, I'm not

(01:30):
entirely sure. It's a strange phenomenon. But for whatever reason,
this happens in sports every so often. Sometimes we go
a few years, sometimes we go one or two. But
we've got ourselves the latest hostage situation in the world
of sports. It's called a hot take hostage situation because

(01:56):
Shore Sanders rookie season has officially been taken hostage by
hot takes. Okay, it is no longer a normal, standard protocol,
typical rookie season. It's been taken hostage because last night

(02:23):
he gets an opportunity, and before he even even gets
his opportunity to play in an actual preseason game, you've
got everybody speaking about this situation he's been put in.
You've got some people trying to tell you that the
Cleveland Browns have put him in a bad situation, or

(02:44):
that he was quote unquote set up to fail. Okay,
never mind the fact that he's a fifth rounder who's
getting an opportunity to start an NFL game, but okay,
set up to fail. Then you've got people talking about, well,
you know, he once he gets out there, I mean,

(03:06):
he's gonna get exposed. And he's got hasn't even gotten
there yet, and already the hot takes were flying, and
then he plays and he plays pretty well, does a
pretty good job first preseason action. First, you know, some
things to work on. Today he did pretty well, throws,

(03:29):
a couple of touchdowns, made a couple of nice throws.
There were some mistakes, but he didn't turn the ball
over and he played pretty well. And that's not enough
because this is a hostage situation. Then it becomes he
should be QB one. He just climbed up the depth charts.
He just did this and that, and yet the only

(03:53):
one who's got a measured, reasonable approach and thought about
the entire situation is the guy in the middle of it,
Shudor Sanders, who spoke about it following his performance on
the sideline.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Do you feel like you did something today to move
up the depth chart?

Speaker 4 (04:10):
I honestly don't know, and I don't really care. You know,
whenever it's my turn and I just got take advantage
of it. I feel like, you know, today I did
some good, some bad, and I know moving forward, you
know I won't make the same mistakes twice. Does not
am I going throw? And you know, regardless of whatever
the situation, it is not up to me, and it
is what it is I just got to you know,

(04:31):
accept whatever, whatever everything come with.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's like the only guy who's got a level head
about the whole thing is the guy who's being held hostage.
What do we doing here? What are we talking about?
Like it's a preceding game. You played well, but the
whole discussion about well, you know, uh listeny means what

(04:56):
does this mean for Joe Flacco? And you know, Dylan
gets dude, why do we do this? What is it
about Shad or Sanders that we look at and go
all right, so that's the one we've chosen. Now you're
the chosen one. You're coming with us, get over here,
let us take control of the narrative of your career,

(05:17):
and let's do that for a little while. That's where
we're at now. And for whatever reason this happens. It
happened with Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow got to the NFL,
and there was no hey, let's just see how it works. No,
it was he should have been this, he should have
been that, and he's gonna prove everybody wrong. And then
he got an opportunity to play. He played pretty well,

(05:39):
they won some games, and all of a sudden it
spread like wildfire. I'm so excited. First and foremost, I
just have to thank Miller and Savior Jesus Christ. The
whole thing was bananas. It was preposterous. And then they
went a playoff game because he throws a quick slant
to Damarius Thomas and they beat the Steelers and it
was off and runned. For whatever reason, Tebow was the guy.

(06:06):
He was anointed. Okay, you're coming with us. It happened
with Colin Kaepernick, not his rookie season, but the season,
you know, the one where they were awful. He turned
down the opportunity to sign, to opt into his contract,

(06:26):
and then he couldn't get it in and then it
was the kneeling and all the other stuff, and just
like that became like he became held hostage with his
own doing in large part. But that was a hostage situation.
It's happened with Caitlin Clark. Like all of these situations

(06:47):
have been muddied by hot takes, and there is a
reality to it all that for whatever reason, gets forgotten
and then when it comes to the surface, then you go, ah,
So that's what this is all about. In the case
of Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick, the NFL was a

(07:11):
reality check, and the NFL is a reality check, and
sooner rather than later, it will expose the truth. And
sooner rather than later, the truth about shad Or Sanders
is going to be exposed. And it's either going to
show you somebody who can play and is a great

(07:32):
player and going to be a good, very good player
for a long time, or it's going to show you
somebody who can't. All of these well, they set up
to fail. He should have been drafted here, mel Kiper,
This like all of these other things are irrelevant, don't matter.
What matters is he got his opportunity to play, and

(07:53):
he went out there and one game in he played
pretty well. That's it. It doesn't We don't need to
look into there. You need if you're taking that late
in the draft, you need things to go your way
to get opportunities. Dak Prescott had to have Kellen Moore
break his ankle in training camp and Tony Romo get

(08:15):
hurt for him to get his shot. And if you remember,
Dak Prescott in his first preseason game looked pretty good
against the Rams in the Coliseum. I remembered, I remember
being on the air after the game talking about Hey,
Dak Prescott looked pretty good like mid round DRAFTI but
it looks solid and lo and behold got his opportunity.

(08:40):
Like those are the realities of the NFL. But for
whatever reason, we pick and choose whose career we want
to hold hostage, and we don't just hold it hostage
by by professing No, it's no wisdom here. It's just
he's got to be this, he's got to be that
he's And you can't just enjoy the game or watch

(09:02):
the game or look at it objectively without somebody telling
you why you're wrong and why you have some ulterior
motive for your reasoning or opinion. So it was a
great performance for shad or Sanders, congratulations, But it is
ironic and it is kind of funny that the only
one with a level head about this whole hostage situation

(09:25):
is the hostage himself, who says, man, I can't I
can't worry about the depth chart. I can't worry about
that stuff. I like, that's outside of my control. I
don't care. It's everybody on the outside who does. At
the Jonas knocks on X. At the Jonas knocks on X,
and you can hang out with us as always on
the iHeartRadio app. By the way, I would say this,
and I'm a big fan of the preseason, all right,

(09:47):
if you've listened to this show in this network long enough,
I'm a big fan of the preseason. And I'll tell
you why. Because you're seeing hopes and dreams come true.
All right. Even if these guys, some of these players
never play another snap in their football career, the fact
that they're getting out there and they're playing in an
NFL game at an NFL stadium in front of NFL fans,

(10:09):
and you can watch the games on television or stream
them however you want to do it. To me, this
stuff counts. Doesn't count the record books, but it counts.
There are injuries, there are touchdowns, all of that. Starters
are resting, starters are playing. The one request I would
have though, can you at least paint the stadium and

(10:30):
the field to look like a regular season game. For
Christ's sake, you're watching the Panthers and the Browns last night.
I had no idea where they were playing, literally no
idea at all. Like if the players are out there
fighting for their careers, can you at least like bring
in like preseason tryouts, like landscapers from around the area,

(10:52):
just to make it look somewhat presentable, Like these are
job interviews for a lot of these guys. And you've
got the Bank of America Stadium or wherever the Panthers play.
They used to play there dressed up like a slob
on the debut of the team and the stadium and
the franchise on the first night season debut for the

(11:13):
Carolina Panthers, and they come dressed in sweatpants for a stadium, like,
can we just at least make it look like real football,
like just somewhat you got enough money if you don't
want to spend the money to have like natural grass
and stadiums, and they have players, you know, deal with
knee injuries and things like that, and complain because the
nflpa's got bigger for fish to fry, like you know,

(11:36):
going to strip clubs and trying to expense it. At
least make the fields, make the conditions look somewhat presentable.
That's all I'm asking, all right, Just a little bit
of effort goes a long way, and that way, maybe
more people would take these games a little bit more seriously.
At the Jonas knocks on X. Also, you can get

(11:58):
me on Instagram at Jonas Knox and that we will
be sending out the insulting tweets from throughout the show
on IG and the IG stories as well. Also, we
are gonna have the usuals here on this two hour
extra baganza. We've got another edition of Do You Care
later on this hour. We've also got the Scraps. All
of it is yours here on Fox Sports Radio up next.

(12:18):
Though somebody doesn't get it, They just don't get it.
I mean, everybody else understands it, but somebody in the
world of sports does not get it. We'll tell you
who that is right here on FSR Boom touch us
for Jonas.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Live Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. I will say this,
it's nice having football back, even though I was complaining
about the uh some of the stadiums and fields not
being painted. Bills and Giants are on right now, Jackson

(13:06):
Darts playing wonder If Jackson Dart, who has drafted four
rounds before shoud Or Sanders is gonna get as much
coverage as he does. What about cam Ward who was
drafted you know, one hundred and forty three picks before
shoud Or Sanders one off, He's gonna get as much
coverage as shud Or does. Just wild, It's like you're
just rolling the dice. Who's gonna get it. Who's gonna

(13:28):
be held hostage by the media this time? Oh, it'll
be shout Or Okay. I mean they tried a little
bit with Bronnie James, but because Lebron is there's always
some other story with Lebron they just couldn't keep their focus.
It's like when a storm becomes a hurricane, it starts
out as a tropical storm and either graduates to hurricane

(13:52):
or becomes like a tropical depression. And Bronni James just
became a tropical depression because Lebron spun off into other
It's like, dude, like shoud Or played the game, he
played well, Like let the guy enjoy his NFL career
and stop everybody jumping in with some sort of preview

(14:13):
and preluding into the future based on one preseason game.
For Christ's sake. Anyways, at the Jonas Knocks on X's
where you can find us, and coming up here and
we'll call it a little over ten minutes from now,
we are going to tell you about somebody who can't
help but win, literally cannot help but win at everything

(14:34):
they do. That'll be yours here again a little over
ten minutes from now. So I saw this and I
thought it was really interesting. And I've told this story before,
but I'll tell it again. I can remember living at
a place and every Sunday my roommate and I would

(14:56):
be watching football. And so my buddy and I are
watching football. We just watched games all day and out
here in California the games start at ten am, which
is great. If you're listing on the East Coast. You
gotta try it, You just you gotta try it. It's wonderful.
Imagine those European games, those London games that the Jaguars
are always playing in. Imagine that every single week, except

(15:18):
there's a bunch of them to choose from. It's just tremendous.
So you know, it starts at you know, nine thirty
you're having a cup of coffee or whatever your drinking
choice is, and then ten o'clock rolls around. You're just
watching all the games, and you're doing that all day.
And I could remember seeing my neighbor because the laundry
room was right next to our place at this townhouse

(15:41):
that we rented. And I can remember seeing my neighbor
every single Sunday taking a load of laundry over and
doing their laundry like not a care. And I remember
looking at them going because two things popped in my mind.
One was what a loser. Two was what a loser?
Because football is on do your laundry during the week.

(16:05):
But for whatever reason, for that guy, football didn't matter.
And I just I didn't get it. I didn't understand.
That is something I can't even begin to understand or
figure out. How you could be doing anything other than
watching football. I get it, you want to go to church,
all that, you go to mass, whatever you come, but

(16:26):
how are you not watching football? How are you not
taking in football throughout the course of your Sunday? At
some point in time, like it just didn't make any
sense to me. And I was reminded of that because
yesterday and I thought this was really funny. Sham Sharania

(16:46):
of ESPN covers the NBA and This is not a
knock on Sham's Like, listen, he does a tremendous job.
He's taken over for Adrian Wardronowski. Apparently those two didn't
like each other whatever, But you know, he's doing a
fine job for ESPN, and he busts his ass and
works hard, and I respect the hell out of what
he does. He really does a good job. So this

(17:08):
is not necessarily a knock on Shams. He's just doing
his job. But he sent out a tweet letting everybody
know what the Christmas Day schedule is going to be
for the NBA this upcoming season. Right, I don't have

(17:28):
a lot of guarantees or predictions, but I'm willing to
make one right now, there's literally less than ten people
on planet Earth who give a rip what the NBA
Christmas Day schedule is. Literally, I mean maybe ten, Maybe

(17:50):
I might be overestimating the number. Nobody cares. Nobody cares
it is football season. There's not one single person and
I'm not even gonna name the games. But Sham sends
that tweet out, and I'm thinking to myself, who cares?

(18:13):
We do a segment every week on the show called
do You Care? And you know it's coming up here
in about twenty minutes from now. That could have taken
up the entire segment because nobody gives a rip about
what the NBA Christmas Day schedule is. It's football season. Now,

(18:37):
you had your chance. Again, not an attack on Shams,
he's just doing his job, but you had your chance.
There's an entire off season to promote and plug and
get people ready for whatever NBA storylines we want to
feed like they're an entire off season. And instead the

(18:58):
NBA counters with the first weekend filled with football games
and by the way, mentioned it last week, the first
weekend filled with football games and there won't be another
one that doesn't have football games four months, and the
NBA decides to go, oh, here's our Christmas Day schedule.

(19:20):
What who cares, buddy? You lost Christmas the second the
NFL realized, oh, you know what, we'll go ahead and
take that too. I can't tell you who's playing in
the NBA on Christmas, and I couldn't care less, but
I can tell you who's playing in the NFL. I
could tell you we're going to get Cowboys commanders. I

(19:42):
could tell you the Broncos and Chiefs are playing. I
can tell you the Lions and the Vikings are going
to be playing. I couldn't name three teams playing on
Christmas Day in the NBA. I couldn't give me the
entire league spin the chamber, and neither could anybody else,

(20:04):
and more importantly, neither does anybody else want to. You
had months to push whatever you wanted out there. Rule changes,
free agencies, trades, every it's over. Do your schedule release sooner.
If you don't want to move your season, do the

(20:24):
schedule release sooner. I'll give WNBA credit. I'll give him credit.
At least they were throwing dildo's on the court, you know, like, hey,
one last chance, gotta get seen, gotta get heard, voila,
empty the top drawer, everybody. I mean, at least they
tried something. But the NBA dropping its schedule of like

(20:51):
like anybody gives a crap, Tody cares. All anybody cares
about is all right, we've got preseason games going on.
When does shit or play? When does Travis Hunter play?
How can we bet on these? That's it. There's nothing else,

(21:12):
So it's just kind of interesting again, going back to
the dude doing laundry he doesn't have a care in
the world about football. It's just interesting how the other
side lives, because I feel like all of us are
on this side. It's football season, we're ready, we're watching
preseason games. And then you've got like a small group
of people that are living another life. It's like the

(21:34):
people that don't watch the super Bowl. Every year, the
Super Bowl ratings come out, and there's like a giant
number of people that don't watch the super Bowl. And
you could look at them and go, oh, well, you
got more important things going on, or you could do
what I do and look at them and go what
a loser. Like there's an entire world out there. So
if you were one of those less than ten people

(21:55):
who cared about the NBA's Christmas Day schedule or opening
an eight or what if you're one of those those
less than ten people, congratulations, all right, don't worry about competition,
don't worry about anybody flooding to get into the entrance.
There no show up whenever you want. Plenty of seats
available because everybody else is sitting in this arena at

a couple of moments from now. But for all the
latest from around the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen,
this man deserves respect, and if he doesn't get it,

(22:57):
he's gonna kick you in the nuts and take it
from your cold dead hands. He's the one and only
broadcast professional. Sir Isaac Longrama, I think.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
About that, about covered it, Jonas, Thank you very much,
got it, And it's always great to have live NFL
preseason football to talk about, or else I would be
breaking down the NBA Christmas Day schedule Since sincerely, Shack
versus Kobe on Christmas Day, two thousand and five, right
now in Buffalo. That's the last time, I remember wondering, Okay,

(23:35):
what's the Christmas Day schedule going to be?

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Like?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Literally twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Right now in Buffalo, the New York Giants have a
sixteen to ten halftime lead over the Bills. Russell Wilson
led the Bill led the Giants to a field goal
on the only series he played in his Giants' debut,
six out of seven for twenty eight yards, and Jackson Dart,
rookie twenty fifth overall draft pick, has taken it from
there twelve of nineteen for one fifty four, including a
twenty nine yard touchdown pass to Lil Jordan Humphrey by

(24:02):
the way. Bill's running back James Cook, who has set
out four straight practices due to a contract dispute, surprisingly
participated in pregame warmups in full uniform, though he is
not playing in the game itself. We've got two Major
League Baseball games going on right now. The Braves have
a three to nothing lead over the Marlins and the
bottom of the fifth inning and major League Baseball history

(24:22):
being made in that one, as Jen Powell has become
the first female umpire to work a regular season game.
She is at first base right now and at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees have a two to one lead over the Astros.
They're going to the bottom half of the second inning
in that one. Finally, Jonas, we have a Knox update.
Thanks to Eddie and Santa Paula for pointing this out.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
The eight oh five.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah. The Ventura County Star reports that a fourteen month
old pet goat named Knox Knox has been caught chugging
bears that have been left in nearby recycling cans. Knox Knox,
the fourteen month old goat. This was reported out of

(25:11):
the Ventura County Star and I thought that was a connection.
Perhaps the goat was named after you. It turns out
this goat is actually in Queensland, Australia. This particular goat
Knocks apparently favors Carlton Dry and Hard Solo, which are
apparently beers from Australia. I guess, but you know what,
with the iHeartRadio app and podcast these days, perhaps even

(25:36):
though that goat is in Australia, he still might be
named in your honor.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
So congratulations, And why don't you tell the VC Star
to stop calling me. I'm not going to renew my subscription.
Leave me alone.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Perhaps they were calling for comment thinking that there was
a linkage between this goat being named after you. I mean,
that's your hometown newspaper. Haven't they published front page stories
about your meat, your rise in the broadcasting business?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
No, God, no, please, don't you know who the hell
I am out here? Come on? Even my own family
doesn't care. Yeah, I'm watching this video here, I'm calling bs.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
You think that this is staged?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Okay? The can is stuck to the goat's mouth. Yeah,
so I think what they're doing is they're putting some
sort of adhesive on the can and they're making the
goat go over and grab it to make it seem
like he's drinking out of the can, because look at it,
it's just stuck there. It's actually cruel if you think
about it. Yeah, you know, it's like you ever you

(26:40):
ever seen that that trick that you can do with
a cat. I don't recommend this, but I've seen it happen.
You can you can take a sock and you can
wrap it around a cat underneath their front arms and
when they are the front legs and when they go
to walk, they just tilt over. For whatever reason it.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
People actually do that to cats, like I cannot stand
our cat, but I would never do that to our cat.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
You know. That's that's a thing where they have there's
something something physically about them to where it shuts down
their motor skills and they just tilt over. You know.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I am watching, I am watching the video here, and
a couple of things. First of all, there's no liquid.
No liquid appears to be coming out of the can.
And it looks like this is a great point, Jonas.
I mean, it looks like this goat has the motor
skills that you would need to balance a spin of
basketball and your index finger. There's no way that a
goat can balance a beer can on itsnap for that long.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Good for you, It's yeah, it just seems like a
bunch of crap. This is like why do people do this?
Like why do you It's like people that dress up
their animals and Halloween costumes and and just let them
be animals. Okay for the most part. I mean, don't
you know they start humping your leg, don't you know,
don't just say, oh, it's nature. Now, you got to
move at some point unless you're into it, that's fine.

(27:56):
But the goat's just walking around the backyard. They've got
aluminum cans there. First of all, take them in and
get recite. You get your recycling done. I went and
recycled can yesterday. It's like, you know, just go go
go clean up after yourself. And then they've got some
sort of adhesive. So now the goat's walking around with
like Elmer's glue on his mouth because this owner wanted

(28:17):
to get in the VC Star for some reason, you
know what I mean, like like all, like you literally
probably took years off your goat's life just so you
could get in the Ventura County Star.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yes, apparently the Queensland Daily Crier resisted their entreaties so
they had to go overseas for publicity.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
That lame, that's really lame. And again, don't do that
with your cat when you get home, Isaac. But that
is a thing I don't know. I don't know why
it is, but you can look that up. There's something
about underneath the front arms of a cat.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
I would never do that to my cat, and if
I tried, my cat would scratch the hell out of me,
which it has actually done before for far less.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Well, if you want to see him not be able
to scratch the hell out of you. I mean there's something.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
By the way, my cat also comments about you constantly
on social media, just so you know, does he really? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
What's he say?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Those are the ones you can't mention on the air.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Oh I got you? Yeah? Well all right, Well, congratulations
to whoever to knocks the goat. Your owner is a fraud.
Just want to point that out. All right, Jonas knocks here,
not the goat? On Fox Sports Radio. Coming up, we
are going to have another edition of Do You Care Here?
That'll be yours here in about ten minutes from now.
I would say this, speaking of goats, they unveiled Tom

(29:35):
Brady's statue last night New England and he even got
that right. I just like, you're talking about somebody who
just gets it right majority of the time, if not
all of the time. We've seen statues being veiled and
they've been awful. Whether you want to talk about Dwayne

(29:56):
Wade and whatever the hell that was, or you want
to talk talk about Christianna Ronaldo and whatever the hell
that Christiano Ronaldo, whoever did his teeth like either was
a meth addict themselves or assumed he was a meth addict.
Because I mean the whole what they did was Sean

(30:17):
Taylor's quote unquote statue, the first one they put up.
A lot of the times they screw these things up,
tom Brady's looked exactly like him, looked exactly like him.
Like job well done by everybody involved. And so you
see that. You see Mike Rabel getting bloodied in skirmish

(30:37):
skirmishes of practice. You see Treveon Henderson returning a kickoff
one hundred yards and you're looking at the Patriots going,
oh my god, maybe they've turned the corner. Maybe they've
turned the corner. Maybe Robert Kraft actually decided, you know what,
I'm gonna let football people handle this stuff. I'm gonna
im gonna let I'm gonna take a step back, stop
trying to be the star of the show and let

(30:58):
football people handle stuff. And next thing you know, the
organization's gonna get turned around. It started with the Mike
Vrabel hiring. You see what they're doing in training camp,
you see what they did last night on the field.
Tom Brady's statue gets unveiled. It's perfect. It's like literally
a great looking statue looks just like him. Things are

(31:18):
starting to turn the corner in New England. We were
talking about it on the show this week. I'm telling
you that team's going to be much improved, probably gonna
finish second in the AFC East, probably because you know,
the Jets don't worry about them, and then we'll figure
out what the hell the Dolphins are. But I'm down
on the Dolphins. So everything's starting to come back around

(31:39):
to the New England Patriots after a few rough years
at the Jonas Knox on X at the Jonas Knocks
on X and you can hang out with us as
always on the iHeartRadio app. You can also follow along
on Instagram at Jonahs Knox Show. Coming up next though
it is a Saturday tradition here, it's another edition of
Do You Care? And It's yours right here on FSR.
Jonas Knox Fox Sports coming up top next hour, about

(32:03):
fifteen minutes from now. Probably gonna be some pretty disappointed
people if things aren't as they appear for one NFL team.
I'll explain why that is coming up here again a
little over fifteen minutes from now here on FSR. If
you'd like to follow along on Instagram, you can at

(32:25):
Jonas Knox Show. We will be posting all the insulting
tweets throughout the course of the show that are flying by,
or you can follow along on x at the Jonas Knox.
But right now it is time for a Saturday tradition.
Every single week at this time, it's time for this.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.
DMSRE reports, Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big
stories from the last week. But Jonas, the real question
is do you care?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
And for that we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benson to find out what the hell people
have been talking about. Bo.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
Yeah, former Saints, great father of Peyton and Eli Manning
and grandfather of Arch Manning, Archie Manning. He told group
of people. I'm not sure if it was on podcast
and interview, whatever it was, but he said that arch
the presumptive number one overall pick, would not be in
the twenty twenty six NFL draft. Jonas, do you care
about this nugget of information?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Not really, And I'll tell you why I don't care.
I don't care because I'm not a Saints fan. That's
why I don't care. Because the New Orleans Saints, for
all intents and purposes, will be the worst team in
the NFL. They're basically punting on the season. And so
the Saints, i' you know, they've they've got Spencer Rattler

(33:46):
who's going to be starting their pre season debut, and
they're trying to figure out and you've got all these
Saints fans that are looking at this going, ooh, maybe
it's an opportunity to have a Manning come back home,
you know, just like just like Archie Manning did. Maybe
arch Manning can go back home. So I this whole
discussion about what's going to happen in next year's draft
and whatnot, Let's just let the season play out. Let's

(34:08):
let the season play out, and let's just everybody track
what the hell's happening. Which, by the way, Jackson Dart
looks pretty solid. A couple of decent throws there for
Jackson Dart, but again, he's not your or so nobody
will want to talk about that. Next.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
Gino Smith and Max Crosby both flip the bird at
a Seahawks fan with a sign that compared a Gino's
career to that of JaMarcus Russell Jonas.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Do you care?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah, I think this is tremendous. This is really good.
I love it here, you know anytime. My one issue
is not the fact that they and there's been some
speculation maybe they're going to be fined, that there's going
to be some sort of punishment handed down for them,
you know, doing a flipping the bird. And it wasn't
even just like they were you know, giving them the
middle finger. They were going double barrel as well too,

(34:52):
so they had It's.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
A great picture.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, it's a great picture. It should be you know,
somebody should blow that up or put it on a
T shirt and they should all walk around where that
just to show like this is this identifies what this
team is going to be this year, Like this is
the symbol and this is the picture of what this
team's mindset is going to be for twenty twenty five.
My issue with it, though, is that Gino has his

(35:16):
thumbs pointed out to the side when he's doing the
middle finger. To me, it takes a little bit off it.
Like it just takes a little bit off it. You've
got to tuck your thumb in, tuck all the other
fingers in and just let the one middle finger be exposed.
That's it. That's a real middle finger. That's really flipping

(35:38):
the bird. When you throw the thumb out to the side,
it just looks odd. It's like a handlebar that doesn't
need to be there. Doesn't look that good. Let's go
live to or I have a thought on the thumb
sticking out of the side of a middle finger insideer
Christopher for the latest.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
Chris Ay, I would have never taken you as a
thumb guy. B how do you feel about the kickstands?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (36:00):
That's like where you don't lower your your index and
and ring finger like there's still kind that's the only thumb,
that's the only finger can can be extended.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
That's on the only one. Your thumb holds the other down.
So the other three fingers on the palm are being
held down by the thumb with the one middle finger
being exposed. I'm doing it right now, right now. In fact,
I got both up right now interacting.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
Okay uh noted Super Bowl Super Bowl loser Gobert's Patrick
Mahomes is starting a ready to drink cold brew coffee
called thrown Sport Coffee Jonas.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Do you care? Nope, I don't hate. Sorry, I mean,
I'm a five hour energy guy. If I need a boost,
you know what I mean. I'm a five hour energy guy.
That's it. That's the way I operate. Okay, it's got
as much caffeine as a premium roast of cup, cup
of coffee, zero sugar. Give me some five Hi.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
Next, Clayton Kershaw emerged Victorias and a pitching duel with
Max Schuzer last night as the Dodgers beat the Blue
Jays Jonas, Do you care?

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Bo? This is not about me? Do you care?

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Bo?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Uh? You care?

Speaker 6 (37:02):
It's kind of cool. I don't really care for Max
Scherzer after his Dodger stint, but I do think I
was talking with someone this morning. It's funny that Clayton
Kershaw kind of gets talked about like a Make a
Wish kid this this year with the Dodgers, Like, oh yeah,
and Clayton Kershaw's there, he's he's filling every day. He's
rather important to the rotation and he's been solid. So

(37:23):
I do care about Kershaw beating Max Stuser last night.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
It's fun. And also, look for people that don't know
this on a national level, Dodger fans are not like bo.
We're not all that pleased with Max sures are making
business decisions now playoffs was not Yeah he decided, you know,
I'm gonna be a free agent. I don't know. I
think I can go today, Skip, I don't have to
tell you, and hey went and got paid. But yeah,
it is not sad well with Dodger fans ever since.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Next Jen Powell, Jen Pawall, I'm not sure how you
pronounce it, but she has become the first woman to
umpire an MLB game today in Atlanta, Jonas.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Do you care? No, I don't care. I'm sorry. I
don't know who that's gonna offend, because everybody gets offended nowadays.
I don't care. I don't look. I'm just glad it's
a human being. I'll say that. I don't want robot umps.
I want human beings to be umpires. But whether it's
a guy, a girl, black, white, Magenta, Mexican, Asian, I

(38:20):
don't care. Just as long as they can do the job,
that's all that matters. If she can do the job,
good for her, get her out there, let her call
postseason games, because anything's better than some of the awful
umpiring that we've seen throughout the course of this season
other than robots. Again, give me the human air, but
there's just been a little bit too many human airs

(38:40):
from time to time.

Speaker 6 (38:41):
Next in News that will be cared About in My House,
Owen Wilson will officially returns the voice of Lightning McQueen
and cars Lightning Racers in twenty twenty seven on Disney Junior.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Jonas, do you care? No, I don't. Okay, first, but
I don't. Why is this important in your house? Please explain?

Speaker 6 (39:01):
My daughter loves cars. One minute, she goes crazy for cars.
She loves everything cars. So this will be on my TV.
This will probably be burned into my television whenever it comes.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Out, just because I'm not familiar. But is this the thing?
What's the park that's not is a California Adventure? Is
this where they've got like a bunch of it's like
the red car that's like the number ninety five?

Speaker 6 (39:25):
Yes, sir, all right?

Speaker 2 (39:26):
So one of the in laws relatives got my son
that car for Christmas and he didn't know what to
do because he wasn't familiar with it. And I'll just
I hope they're not listening. I don't think they are.
That thing got donated to the Goodwill so fast, Like
I just he had no understanding, no idea, no reference point.

(39:48):
But if it's a cool show, maybe we'll check it out.
And the most important thing is as long as Bo's happy,
and as long as Bo's little daughter is happy, that's
all that matters. And anybody else who've got a complaint
or critique about you can kiss our ass. Hour two
is next, so we're gonna see what one head coach
thinks about a viral moment on social media. We'll get

(40:11):
into that for you coming up here in just a
couple of moments from now. Jonas Knox on Fox Sports Radio.
You can listen to us 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
yours Saturday afternoon. We appreciate you doing so. We'll be
taking you all the way up until the end of
this hour four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. We've

(40:34):
got ourselves a preseason game in the NFL currently on
the Giants and the Bills, which is actually I would
say this and I know and interested we're going into
the hostage situation that is taking place. But I would
say this one interesting thing to watch, and I kind

(40:58):
of mentioned this before, because Jackson Dart is played and
he's played pretty well through a touchdown pass scrambled like
he's played well. Again, the Bills are playing backups all
that stuff. But you know, for it could be a
lot worse. You'd rather this than the opposite of his performance.
But one of the interesting things to watch is Russell

(41:22):
Wilson got the start and it was basically just dinking
and dunking down the field. The Giants schedule is brutal,
Like the Giants have an awful schedule, and while defensively
they look like they've got some talent. If you just
look at their schedule and look at what they've got
to go through early in the year, at Washington, at Dallas,

(41:46):
Kansas City, the Chargers, they get a bye week and
week five because they're at the Saints, and then you've
got Philly, Denver, Philly again, and the Niners. So if
you were to go through the first nine weeks of
the season, there's one game you feel like they could win.

(42:08):
And so if you're through the first nine weeks of
the season and you're sitting at one and eight and
the season is lost. What are you gonna do? Because
everybody involved. If this thing goes really sideways and they
just roll with Russell Wilson the entire year and at
least don't see what they have in Jackson Dart, then

(42:32):
Brian day Ball's probably gone. Joe Shane's gonna be gone.
So I look at this situation and I go, yeah,
Russell Wilson will be the starter until something. If there's
an injury, obviously you would need to go to Jackson
Dart at that point or Jamis Winston. But if you're
Brian Dayball, the best path for you to save your

(42:54):
job might be and Joe Shane as well too, might
be if Jackson Dark comes in and he shows enough
promise to the organization and the powers that be that
they say, hey, listen, we feel like we've got something
with this guy. We feel like he could be a
star here. We don't want to disrupt his growth and

(43:15):
have him start off year two with a new coach.
I did Brian Daball might be in a spot to
where to save his job, he's gonna have to turn
to Jackson Dart, not so much for wins, but to
try and show the organization. Hey, man, I if this
kid needs a development and we're showing progress here, why

(43:38):
disrupt that. And based on that schedule I just read
off to you, they're probably going to be out of
it pretty early and that decision could be coming sooner
rather than later. Just something to watch because Russell Wilson
got the start, but Jackson Dart has played well and
Brian Daball and Joe Shane are looking at what's going

(43:59):
to If you're going to self preservation, it might be, Hey,
we've got our quarterback of the future. We identified him.
We're showing you we can build this kit up. We're
showing you we can make him a franchise quarterback. Why
turn away from it now? Let's continue the momentum in
the relationship. So at least something to watch there when
it comes to the New York Giants at the Jonas

(44:21):
Knocks on X at The Jonas Knocks On X and
you can find us as well on Instagram at Jonas
Knox Show. By the way, a lot of positive feedback
here on the show, a lot of positive feedback, like
JC who writes in bitch boy, Jonads, I don't know
what's worse, your gay ass tribal tattoo or your voice.

(44:44):
Tough one. Please, I've been asking retire you efing old
piece of bleep, make room for some actual talent. Your
only talent is gargling man bleep while taking it up
the bleep at the Bonus Knocks on X, That is
at the Jonas Knocks on X where you can find
all that positive feedback and those will be posted up

(45:06):
to our ig stories so you can see that, you know,
see all these stuff that we couldn't read there on
the air at Jonas Knock Show. So off to a
raring start here on FSR. All right, so let's have
a discussion about you know, the other rookie quarterback that
is playing this weekend or that already played, and that

(45:27):
rookie quarterback would be should Or Sanders. And I said
this earlier, this is a hostage situation. The media has
basically taken shad Or Sanders rookie season and they've got
it hostage. They're holding it hostage like they've got duct
tape on the mouth, they've got zip ties on the hands.
Sitting on a chair somewhere in a shed out in

(45:50):
the middle of a field, and shod Or Sanders rookie
season is been taken hostage by the media. And it's
not just by the media, it's by hot takes in
the media. So we've got a hot take hostage situation
when it comes to shoud Or Sanders instead of just
focusing on the performance and the opportunity he got last night.

(46:11):
No no, no, no no, We've got to use this to
now project, look into the future, decide who's right who
what can we right the wrongs? Mel Kiper was right,
everybody else was wrong this and I mean the whole thing.
And he's been chosen. This happens from time to time.
Tim Tebow, had it happened to him, Colin Kaepernick, had

(46:33):
it happened to him, Caitlin Clarkas had it happened to her?
And occasionally the media picks and chooses via hot takes
who they want to hold hostage, and shad Or Sanders
is the latest victim. He's the latest one now. Kevin Stefanski,
of course, was asked after the game about the quarterback

(46:54):
depth chart and how things are going to look, and
the Browns head coach said this, Yeah, We're really just
focused on developing our players. We're in evaluation mode. I'm
pleasing with where the guys are, but I'm not diving
into a quarterback competition. Yeah, like, what are we talking about?

(47:15):
Why is this even a discussion. It's one game in
and nobody was playing their starters. He looked good. Can
he not just develop? Like? Do we need him to
just all of a sudden be the starter or some
people aren't going to be happy. Do you need him

(47:36):
to just go out and suck so that the other
side will be happy as well too? How about you
just watch it develop. I've said this earlier football will
tell the truth. Eventually, the NFL tells the truth. So
if he's the goods, that'll be exposed and if he's not,

(47:58):
that'll be exposed too. But this idea that after one
preseason game, all of a sudden we got to be
talking about the quarterback depth chart, dude, things are going
to have to happen. They already kind of have, but
things are going to have to happen. If should or
Sanders is going to be the starting quarterback, first and foremost,
he's got to prove it. He did it for the

(48:20):
most part, through one game. But you've got to have
all other circumstances fall into place for a guy like
should Or Sanders to get his opportunity in Dallas with
Dak Prescott, Kellen Moore broke his ankle in training camp,
Tony Romo got hurt in the preseason. Thus Dak Presscott,
the third stringer, got his opportunity and played well enough

(48:43):
and away we go. Should Or Sanders got his opportunity
because Joe Flacco didn't play. He's the starter, and the
other two guys, Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel of hamstring issues.
So he got his opportunity. He went and he performed well.
You had people before the game talking about, oh my gosh,

(49:03):
he's not gonna play well because they've set him up
to fail and accept what was the downside of shoud
Or Sanders playing and getting an opportunity. That's all it is.
You needed things to go your way to get an opportunity.
He got them. He had a level head about it
when they interviewed him during the game. Listen, I can't
worry about that stuff, the depth chart all that, I
can't worry about it. Last night was a good showing,

(49:29):
but The part I find hilarious is there's this picture
on the sideline of Deshaun Watson sitting next to Dylan Gabriel,
and then Joe Flacco's standing up, Joe Flacco's smiling, and
Deshaun Watson and Dylan Gabriel have like, you know, some
sort of upset look on their face, and people are

(49:51):
looking at that going, oh, yeah, they're really depressed that
shad Or Sanders is is playing. Well, they're real depressed. Meanwhile,
Joe Flacco's laughing. You wonder why Joe Flacco's laughing because
Joe Flaco's starting He doesn't care. You think Deshaun Watson
is watching Shit or Sanders going damn it, I wish

(50:12):
he would suck. No, he's going God, I wish my
Achilles was okay. And by the way, how long's that
parlor open? Dylan Gabriel was ahead of should War on
the depth chart for a reason. He's probably frustrated he
can't play because of his hamstring injury. But instead of
us just looking at this for the reality that the

(50:34):
NFL will present sooner rather than later. No no, no, no, no, no,
let's do a deep dive into what Kevin Stefanski really
means what Shad Or Sanders, whether or not he was
right or wrong, than the draft and what this game
actually means moving forward. Also, by the way, let's try
and guess what Dylan Gabriel is thinking while he's watching
Shit or Sanders. I'm telling you, we pick and choose

(50:58):
who we want to hold hostage. Sometimes it's every year,
sometimes it's every other year. Sometimes it's a few years
in between. This year it's shitd Or Sanders rookie season,
and sooner rather than later, the NFL is going to
tell the truth. And when it does, somebody on one
side or the other is gonna be pissed off. At
the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knox on

(51:20):
X and you can hang out with us as always
on the iHeartRadio app again, follow us on Instagram at
Jonas Knox Show coming up next. Though, there is an
example that's been set in the NFL, and for some
reason some people like to do it differently, very strange.
We'll get into that for you right here on FSR.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
All right, first off, Jonas Knox can suck it.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up, and uh, we'll
call it about ten minutes from now, we're gonna have
to correct somebody here on the air. Hey doing it.
I I don't want to do it, but we're gonna
have to correct somebody on the air because people are
listening near and far to this show. So that'll be
yours here on FSR. By the way, mention the positive

(52:06):
feedback people chiming into the show. You can follow along
if you go to IG. If you go to the
Instagram page at Jonas Knox Show, you can see all
of these for your listening pleasure. Up in the IG
stories portion of that they have been posted like this one.
Read this earlier, but very very kind, very complimentary, bitch

(52:26):
boy Jonads. I don't know what's worse, your bleep ass
tribal tattoo or your voice tough one. Please, I've been
asking retire you fing old piece of bleep, make room

(54:08):
writes in why in the world would anyone want to
listen to this trash ass? Jonas Knox guy is a
disaster in life and in profession. He is the equivalent
to preseason football, worthless, meaningless, and in the end it
doesn't matter. So again, you can go to Instagram. You

So it's interesting how some teams and coaches choose to

(55:14):
handle the preseason and which starters are going to play.
Mike Tomlin discussed Aaron Rodgers and the way that he
kind of laid it out. It made it seem like
Rogers probably not going to play in the preseason. Maybe
he will, but just say, listen, he's been doing this,
you know, over twenty one years. There's you know, what

(55:36):
he takes to get ready and what it takes for
him to be ready to go is different from others,
like you know, so on and so forth. And then
you've got Russell Wilson playing in this game. Kevin Stefanski
chooses to sit Joe Flacco, Like, there's just different ways
that you can handle all this stuff. One of the
interesting storylines that people have been monitoring has been the

(55:58):
development of Caleb Williams and what Ben Johnson's strategy is
when it comes to Caleb and Ben Johnson has decided
that Caleb Williams will not be playing in their preseason
debut coming up on Sunday against the Dolphins. Instead, they
had joint practices with Miami and so Ben Johnson was

(56:19):
on with Hogan Johns the podcast there in Chicago and
explained his reasoning behind that decision.

Speaker 7 (56:27):
The thought here is we are there's gonna be a
number of guys that aren't playing in this game. I
haven't even told the team this yet, but there's gonna
be a number of guys that aren't playing in the game.
So we're gonna get great work in the joint practice.
We have a number of things scheduled around the game
for those guys that aren't playing, whether it's the day
before or the day after, where we're actually going to

(56:50):
end up getting more reps for them than they would
have had we played them week one in this game.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
So I'm actually really excited about that.

Speaker 7 (57:00):
I think the numbers as they stand right now, subject
to change, are probably nine guys on offense, nine guys
on defense that won't be playing here.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
It is number eighteen. Part of that. He's one of
those Yeah, all right, Again, everybody's different, everybody likes to
handle things a little bit different. But it is kind
of interesting that the decision would be made not to
play him. It's kind of you know, it's kind of interesting, Well,

(57:31):
we had joint practice, we had this, okay, but and
it's not questioning Ben Johnson. It's just kind of curious
as to why this was the approach. Let him partake
and joint practices. He's going to get more reps there
than he would in an actual game. It's kind of

(57:52):
the way this stuff is handled is kind of interesting.
And I'm not saying that.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
This is.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Exactly why these guys are what they are, but it
would seem that if the two best of the last
x amount of years did it one way, why wouldn't
more people look at that and go, you know, maybe
that's a maybe that's a different approach. Patrick Mahomes and
Tom Brady playing the preseason that's a Belichick, Andy Reid thing, whatever,

(58:23):
But they play in the preseason. Yet for some reason,
there's a lot of these and I know you don't
want people to get hurt, and you don't want injuries
to happen, But I feel like injuries could happen anytime,
Like you look at what happened in Indianapolis. She had
a running gap running back get taken down via hip

(58:44):
drop tackle, and maybe the careers in jeopardy, the injuries
can happen all the time. Rashaan Slater with LA It's
just kind of curious as to why this would be
the approach Drake May played. Why not Caleb Williams. If
this is all about let's develop him and let's get
him ready to go, and it's a new scheme and

(59:04):
it's new this, and it's new that, why not throw
him into a game situation that would feel like more
of a game situation than maybe a joint practice would
and let him get out there under the lights, work
inside a state. It just it's a little curious, especially
based on the fact that all we've heard about Ben

(59:25):
Johnson in training camp and all we've heard about his
approach is not necessarily just hey, I got to fix
Kavib Williams. It's I got to fix the culture, because
that place was a mess. They had a real, like
a real training camp, old school training camp practice earlier
in the week. People who cover the Bears and work

(59:46):
in the media there are like, yeah, we have not
seen a practice like that in training camp here, and
we don't even know how long over a decade, i
mean live going at it. So it's this fast tracked
approach and brutally honest approach and physical approach to changing

(01:00:09):
the culture and getting the most out of your quarterback.
And then when there's an opportunity in a preseason game,
first game of the preseason, you choose not to play him.
It's kind of curious. I'm not saying this is gonna
be a you know, something that's gonna affect Caleb Williams.
He's gonna struggle this year because of this. It's just
kind of curious. It's fascinating how some people choose to

(01:00:31):
handle this stuff. Drake May's playing like he's playing. You've
got Russell Wilson playing like there's you know, Bryce Young
he's playing. Even look, Joe Burrow's playing this year. He
never played in the preseason. And Zach Taylor's like, no, no, no, no, no, no,

(01:00:52):
no no no, we've been getting off to slow starts.
We're gonna play guys, it's just Mahomes always played, Brady
always played. It's just kind of curious that, of all
the things we heard about the approach and how things
need to change, et cetera, et cetera, why not use
this as another opportunity, And so now we get to
see whether or not maybe there's there's more to this story,

(01:01:15):
maybe he needs a break. I don't know, but it's
a little it's a little curious if all we've heard
about is I've got to change things, I've got to
fix this from the ground up. If that's the case,
why take this approach at the Jonas Knocks on X.
At the Jonas Knocks On X and you can hang
out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app right,
it's coming up next here. Look, I don't want to

(01:01:37):
have to correct anybody on the air, that's the last
thing we want to do. But people are listening near
and far to this show, and there's a correction that
needs to be made here that'll be yours 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 way for the prestigious Sir Isaac Long.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Nobody's ever had to correct me, said my wife, of course,
which happens all the time. Actually, Jonas will start this
off with some Jonas Knox sports Talk radio history. Oh yeah,
one of your many beloved fans, Scottie d has just
made history. He just posted an AI generated image of

(01:02:29):
someone flipping you off. Have you checked your mentions in
seeing this? Let me checked this. This person is such
a big fan of your skill that he took the
time to generate an artificial intelligence image of someone just
to flip you off.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
And it's accurate because they the thumb is not pointing.
I mean I can't see the film, but it's not
pointed out to the side at least, so it does
look like the way I like to flip people off.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Yeah, perhaps a little too cropt of an image, but
still it's amazing what technology can do these days, and
once again gives your many fans just one other option
to interact with you. You know who's doing a good
job interacting. New York Giants. New York Giants quarterbacks. I
know it's the preseason right now. They lead at Buffalo
twenty four to seventeen forty two seconds of the fourth quarter,

(01:03:19):
Russell Wilson six out of seven for twenty eight yards
led him to a field goal. Rookie Jackson Dart meanwhile,
he was twelve of nineteen for one fifty four, including
a twenty nine yard touchdown pass to Lil Jordan Humphrey.
And even Jamis Winston is getting into the act.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
By I'm just praying for the Lord to deliver me
from pick sixes.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
So far, so good, because even Jamis Winston seven of
eleven for sixty two yards at a touchdown pass as well. Again,
the Giants lead at Buffalo twenty four to seventeen, now
a minute and a half out of the fourth quarter.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
By the way, i'd have thought Jackson Darts with a
name like Jackson Dart. Yeah, you had two options. Football
player for what else? Oh that's a good one though, Okay, okay,
because a lot of people are porn starting out football
player or NASCAR driver? Oh yeah, absolutely, that is a

(01:04:13):
NASCAR name.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
That is a total nasar name, and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
It's Jackson Dart to the number six car. He'll take it. Then,
Jackson Dart has won the Daytona five hundred. Doesn't it
doesn't it sound like something you would hear on a
NASCAR call on Fox.

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
It's also that bad better than me. But all right,
So born in Hayesville, Utah, that's not exactly NASCAR country
supposed to be. I mean, what do you mean, Utah
is not Nascar country? Are you trying to count the
salt flats?

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Are you trying to sit here and stay on the
air that Mormons don't speed?

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Is that what you're doing, Isaac, I'm not I'm not
insinuating that at all. I'm that's a that's a very
popular demographic with me. Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
So apparently.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
There is NASCAR in Utah, the ARCA Menards Series West
at the Rock and Race Fest at the Utah Motorsports Campus. Okay,
all right, so there you go. There's also a place
called Bert Brothers Motor Park. Apparently NASCAR is big in

(01:05:24):
Utah a little bit, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
And by the way, I think I have this correct.
Last year's Monster Jam World Finals images this year we're
in Utah. All right, Wow about that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
I'm impressed that you know so much about the state
of Utah. And I would also like to apologize to
the great citizens of the Beehive State for ripping their
auto racing NASCAR prowess.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Meanwhile, but you've got too many ways. I just want
to let you know it's not the only time we're
going to be corrected here coming up shortly, just letting.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
You know that's why we call it a teas in
the radio business. I'm looking forward to hearing, all right,
the Atlanta Braves up seven to what over the Miami
Marlins at the top of the nine thinking Michael Harris
the second of three run home run for Atlanta, his
eleventh of the season. It's the first game of a
double header, and it's seeing major League Baseball history being made.
Jen Powell becoming the first female umpire to work a
regular season game. She's at first base right now. She'll

(01:06:18):
be a third base for the second game of the
doubleheader and then be behind the plate calling balls and
strikes in the series finale tomorrow. Also right now, the
Yankees have a three two lead over the Astros in
the bottom of the fifth inning at Yankee Stadium. All right,
Jonas correct away.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
So earlier in the show, for those of you that
were maybe not with us, you told the story of
a goat in was at.

Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
Austral Queensland Australia.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
Okay, a goat in Australia who people are saying, Oh,
he's going viral because he's drinking all the beer cans
in the recycling pile. And then you and I did
some investigative reporting and did our due diligence here as
broadcast professionals, and we discovered and we believe this to
be true, that it's actually all a ruse. It's a

(01:07:03):
bunch of crap, that there's some sort of adhesive stuck
to the aluminum cans and that's why the goat is
picking him up. He's not actually drinking him. They're just
stuck to his face.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
Basically, the goat seem to have unusually good motor skills.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Yeah, and so you and I because you can't. Look,
a lot of people think they can go off speed
with us. You can't. All right, we're not swinging at
bad pitches, and they just try to throw us a
bad pitch all the way from Australia, and you and
I aren't swinging where the Woodward and Bernstein of the
New Millennium. That's correct.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
I want to be Woodward.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
Whoever they are. That's correct. And somebody in Australia though,
is listening, because again this is a we tell you
can listen on the iHeartRadio app all over the world.
We have listeners in Australia. And John and Brisbane writes
in and says, let Isaac know that hard solo is
an alcoholic soft drink soda. It's basically lemon lift with

(01:07:56):
twelve percent alcohol. So I think that when you read
the story on the goat drinking Booze, that you may
have given out some bad information.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
About Australian beer.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Yes, and basically you know, an alcoholic soft drink.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
I guess I'm so I'm ticking off Mormons and Australians
today because frankly, my knowledge of Australian beer was limited
to Foster's. But by the way, a shout out to Brisbane.
Did you know that Brisbane is going to be hosting
the Summer Olympics in twenty thirty two?

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
No kidding? Yeah boy, that's right up there with shams
letting us know what the Christmas Day and the air
schedule is? What mad the things you learn? Yeah, So
apparently Isaac and I don't know if you're if you
know what a shoey is? Are you? Are you familiar

(01:08:49):
with what a shoe.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
There used to be a picture in Major League Baseball
named Paul Shoey, But I have a feeling you're talking
about something different.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Yeah, shoey is where you have to pour your beer
into your shoe and then drink the beer out of.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
Your Oh, I've done that many times. I didn't know
there was a technical term.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Yeah, it's done in Australia. Maybe New Zealand as well too,
but they do that there, So I think, you know,
just to be fair here, I think what you should do,
because this will appeal to the Mormons as well too,
that you've pissed off. I think that you should buy
a non alcoholic drink, pour it in your shoe and

(01:09:24):
drink it out of your shoe. Just doesn't make good
to the people in Utah and the people in Australia
that you have offended because you gave out some wrong
information and had some assumptions about both cultures that were incorrect.
I think that's only fair.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
I think that my insensitivities have been fully exposed with
this one today. But I will say this, I was
worried you were going to say we were wrong about
the goat. We still could be very We're still right
about the goat. I don't mind being wrong about the
Australian beer. But just from watching the video, as I said,

(01:09:59):
it's like somebody balancing a basketball on their index finger
for thirty five seconds, this goat balancing a beer can
on its snout.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Yeah, it's just a bunch of craft. It's it's somebody
that tried to get getting, you know, go viral and congratulations,
you made it all the way out here on national radio.
So it worked. I mean, listen, it worked for them.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
But I know you appreciate them naming their goat after
you as part of the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Roofs Knocks the Goat, Knocks the goat. But unfortunately all
a bunch of craft, which some would say the same
thing about this Knox as well too, So that's all
is fair. But there you go at the Jonas Knox
not the Goat on X and then you can follow
along on Instagram if you want to see all the
IG stories with the insulting tweets that have sent over

shop with something we do every single week called this
jonas you moron?

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
How could you not get to these stories? Moron?

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
These are the scraps, And for that we turn it
over to our executive producer, Bo Benson to find out
what the hell we've missed so far on the show. Bo.

Speaker 6 (01:12:23):
So, gambling regulators in the state of Ohio are looking
to prohibit sports books from offering micro bets, which would
include betting markets on first pitches in Major League Baseball games.
Of course, this coming in the midst of the gambling
investigation involving the Cleveland Guardians.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Like, you know what, man just put a limit on
the bets. Like every like this is like when you
make a prop bet in on the Super Bowl or
something like that. There's usually a betting limit for a
reason because people have the information, Like some guy working
security who's watching the national anthem can tip off his

(01:13:06):
buddies and be like, hey, by the way, I just
saw rehearsals. It's going under a minute twenty eight. So
what do they do They put a limit on it. Yeah,
it can't You're not You're not going to be able
to to get rid of it completely. Once you welcomed
it in, you welcome in the demons, You're not going
to be able to just get rid of them. It's like,

(01:13:26):
you know, the one of the endings on Stranger Things,
like one of the seasons of Stranger Things, they showed
like you know this slug in the in the sink
or something along those lines. You're like, oh my god,
there's still something there. We got to watch it. It's like, dude,
I think there was Stranger Things. I don't know who cares.
But the point is, well, spoiler, once you let it

(01:13:47):
into the building, there's going to be remnants of it everywhere.
Ye I don't like, I don't know what. Yeah, I
don't know what you expect. Like, oh, it's like steroids,
people are still pissing hot. Why do you think that is?

Speaker 6 (01:14:00):
Because you could still get it if you want it.
These are also fun. I mean I had a bet
on Clayton Kershaw's first pitch speed last night. The number
was eighty eight point nine. I went over in the
first pitch.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Was eighty eight.

Speaker 6 (01:14:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, and that was the one leg of
that parlay that did not hit, so all I was like, yeah,
that's the kick.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
But and by the way, then you got to you
got a question like whether or not the guy holding
the gun was.

Speaker 6 (01:14:24):
Yeah, right, and Dodger Dadien can't help me out there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Yeah, it's there. That's a pain of the ask. But
it's stuff like that. Once you let gambling into the sport,
you let it in. You have to accept the reality
of the situation. Like a couple of years ago when
the Super Bowl was in Vegas and they're like, well,
if any guy on either team participating in the Super
Bowl is gambling at the casino, they're subject to punishment

(01:14:50):
and it'll be banned from the game. It's like, hold
on a second. So if some guy from either the Niners,
like Jake Moody's plane recard poker at the Luxore, that
means he's gonna throw the game. Like it just none
of it makes any sense. Let's go live to our
I have a thought on Jake Moody playing three card poker.
Insider Christopheffer the Latest.

Speaker 5 (01:15:12):
I didn't see Jake Moody, but uh, you know, I'm
just saying someone who looked an awful like Patrick Mahomes
might have been at the craps table.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
I mean, who cares you guys playing craps like who
even if he was, like if some guy from if
a Niners assistant coach was playing on the penny slots,
he can't participate in the Super Bowl. Yeah, it's come on,
it's it's gambling paranoia because you got a bunch of
gambling virgins who have never placed a bet in their life,
and now that the big bad villains in the room,

(01:15:40):
everybody's got to be scared about it. Please give me
a break. And by the way, Dodger Stadium, I think
Bo should be reimbursed for that, for that that error
and malfunction of the the pitch. You can't throw nine,
just give him eighty nine. It's fine.

Speaker 6 (01:15:57):
Disappointing Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was officially handed down
a three game suspension to start the season. I believe
all he did was take a nap. That's a real shame.
But JJ McCarthy not gonna have Addison and still has
not had Justin Jefferson in camp yet.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
So here's why this is not a great idea. Well,
first of all, you know Jordan Addison. You know a
guy likes to bend the elbow a little bit, all right.
As we've seen, he's got a wet reckless to his name.
And he was passed out behind the wheel outside Lax
which means whoever we're serving him on that plane heavy
poor because he must have gotten blistered on that flight

(01:16:36):
and then got into his car. Not a laughing matter.
Don't recommend it, but you know, just decided, hey, this,
this will do. This seems like my room, This seems
like my bed. No, it's the one oz five freeway.
But here's why this is a problem. He got suspended
three games bo You know, the first game he's eligible
to return for is week four. You know what game

(01:16:57):
that is. That game's against the steel Do you know
where that game is. That game's in Dublin, Ireland. Okay,
anybody who's ever been to Dublin, Ireland, All you do
is drink from start to fit. The second the flight lands,
there's options, you go to the hotel, options, you get

(01:17:19):
in there. No place celebrates the booze like Dublin. And
so the fact that the NFL didn't think this through
and go, you know, maybe we just make it four games,
you know, just for the sake of, Hey, we don't
want to cause any problems here. This guy's might have
a little bit of an issue. Why don't we make
it four games? And said, they're like, now, we'll make
it three and let's test him right out of the gate.

(01:17:41):
Everybody drinks in Ireland from the second you wake up
to the second you go to bed. That's what the
place is for. So this could be problematic for Jordan Addison.
What else we got.

Speaker 6 (01:17:52):
Both well in news that absolutely the entire sports world
would want to hear and know about. The Houston Rockets
are going to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder and
the Los Angeles Lakers are going to host the Golden
State Warriors to kick off the twenty twenty five NBA season.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Why do you do this, bo? This is just why
are you just trying to egg me on? It's you're
just trying to.

Speaker 6 (01:18:14):
Already opener for the fourth most popular sports league in
the country.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Now, I mean I already had to hear from some
NBA fanboy who was like, geez, some people still care
about the NBA. You're right, Listen, I love the NBA too.
It's football season, though. If you're going to do your
schedule release, do it when it's not football season, all right.
People don't care what the season opener is. They don't
care what's on Christmas. They don't care anymore. You had

(01:18:40):
your chance. There was a window of time for you
to release news, announce signings, announce trades, get all that
done and then we move on and focus on football.
Now they're trying to jam this all in and you're
just a little bit too late, all right. I think
that's an air and judgment, if you ask me. This
has been a fun show. Want to think Isaac, want
to think Chris, want to think bo And thanks for

(01:19:02):
everybody who took part and listen. We appreciate it. Here
on Fox Sports Radio. Thanks shonas Son of a Bitch.
