You heard me, no friend, some darkness is lighting up
your speakers to establish an alibi for the day. From
the tirag dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios, here's Jonas Knox.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
YEP, Okay, I'll be poor so upon further review, we've

(00:48):
got ourselves a waste of.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Energy in the world of sports.

Speaker 3 (00:53):

know what sucks about traveling, The packing part sucks, especially

(01:41):
if you're traveling for more than like two three days,
like right, like the three four day mark is like all.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Right, now you've got to actually think this through. All right?
What am I?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
What am I doing here? I've got to consolidate this.
You know, the weather could be if you start checking
the weather channel app.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I do anyway, so I'm a weather geek. It's what
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
But you start check in your weather apps, you start
trying to get a map, map out of the forecast.
What's it gonna look? And then you've got to like
plan strategically. Okay, but what about like during the day,
Am I gonna wear this?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
At night?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Do I wear this? Are we gonna go grab a
nice dinner? Do I have to do? I have to
pack a suit? Do I have to pack a nice
dress shirt? Do I have to wait? Is that gonna
be more of a leisure data? It's just it's it's
a pain in the ass.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
And what's worse is when you get out there.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
And you don't use any of it, like none of it,
like traveling to warm weather places is phenomenal cause it's
you know, shorts, a couple of T shirts. Maybe you'll drink,
bring a long sleeve shirt maybe, but you're going flip
flops the entire like, you know, like who cares, dazy
throw it in there, who gets it gets wrinkled, doesn't matter.

(02:51):
It's like a beachy type.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
This is cool.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
But like when you get out there and you realize
I put all that energy into planning things out, thinking
things through put and then you realize it was all
a waste.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
That sucks. Like the packing part is the worst.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
When you're done and you get there and you get
to the airport and you're having a cocktail and you're
on the play, that's awesome. It's the packing part that sucks,
especially if you wasted a bunch of energy on it.
Stuff you were never going to use, that never factored in.
And it's kind of like how this NCAA tournament stuff goes.

(03:37):
Because I was noticing something now that the Elite eight
is set, now that we're down to the eight best teams,
the eight teams remaining in college basketball, I was noticing
some numbers that popped across the screen and I was
looking through it I'm like, all right, so there's like
a theme here. I'm seeing like all right, one two,

(04:01):
one two, see you over here?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
One three, one two.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's like a lot of like like number ones and
number two's like there's like a three also, you mean
like the best teams made it to the final eight. Okay, sweet,
So maybe we should go back and bitch about who
didn't get into the tournament again, because God forbid, those

(04:29):
teams got left out? Boy, boy, what what what quality
time we spent on that? You mean to tell me
North Carolina got in over such and such, Mike, that's
an outrage. Who was it West Virginia? Wasn't it West
Virginia who bitched and moaned about not getting in?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
What did you do?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Like ruined Kevin pittsnogle bobblehead day? Like a ooh oo,
remember that waste of time conversation that we had. Now
that you're here, you realize, oh, you didn't need any
of that stuff at all. None of that mattered. In fact,
the only top two seed that didn't make it this

(05:14):
far was Saint John's.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
What do you know I had Saint John's. Boy, there's
a stunter.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's like you look at some of this stuff. Upon
further review, you open your suitcase, you're like.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Why do we waste our time? Why over what it
was like if it's just gonna end up being like,
what's the point.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, we sat there and people played the violins and
went all did you see such a conference record? And
it's like, okay, all right, so like you want to
worry about all that stuff, and hey, maybe it'll rain,
maybe I'm gonna need a nice dinner shirt maybe, And
then you get there you're like, no, I didn't need
any of that. Actually no, just the essentials were good.

(06:02):
Just the essentials. All of that was a waste of time,
all of it. Because here we are, and it's the
best teams in the tournament, as forecasted and predicted by
the people who put the bracket together. And before anybody says, well,
of course it's the best teams. They get the favorable draw,

(06:22):
of course, I mean, of course, it's the NCAA tournament.
There is no real advantage. It's not like you're getting
a home game, okay, And it's not like you're getting
the matchups of against teams that you've played in the
regular season. And you know how that no, no, no, no, no.

(06:43):
It's the NCAA tournament. It's why there's upsets. It's why
a twelve beats of five because crazy stuff happens. And
you don't get a three or a five or a
seven game series. You get one shot, you get forty
minutes unless it goes to overtime, and if you go
cl for a half, you're done.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
But it's just.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Funny how we spent all that time complaining about who
didn't get in when the fact of the matter is
the teams that got in and got in at the
top are the teams that are still remaining.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
So upon further.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Review, no, you didn't need any of that garbage in
your luggage. You were fine with the essentials, and we've
got the essentials for the Elite eight. Jonas Knox here
on Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox on X
at the Jonas Knox on X.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
All Right, so.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
NFL Draft about a month away, and there is sort
of an interesting thing that happens because they always tell
it like there's this big debate like, hey, what do
you do. Do you draft for need or do you
draft best player available? And if you talk to enough people,
they say, oh, you always draft best player available. Well yeah, yeah, yeah,

(07:59):
of course, like always draft that. I mean, of course,
it's a hey always eat healthy. Yeah, unless you're at
a gas station and it's been four days, like you know,
kind of not a lot of options. You got beef
jerky from the mid nineties. You've got an Abba Zaba bar,

(08:26):
You've got any fifteen different energy drinks, a warm bottle
of water that's got the price tag sticker on the
on the lid, not on the side, but on the lid.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And then you got like a bag.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Of funions that nobody wanted because that too was made
in like nineteen eighty. It's like, yeah, of course you
would like to eat hell, of course, Like that's the
that's the goal. Eat healthy, watch what you take in
like of course. And then you pull up to an
rc go next to a couple of tumbleweeds and a

(09:06):
homeless guy who's cooking his dinner in a spoon out
in front of the place, and you're like, okay, I'm
probably not going to get like a chicken breast with
like you know, like broccoli and like you know, vegan
bread to go, like you know it just so it's
like yeah, ideal that you would take the best thing available,

(09:29):
but then there's the issue of need. So Abdul Carter
is at Penn State's pro day yesterday and he's telling everybody, Hey,
a defensive player can impact a game just like a quarterback.
A defensive player is just as important as a quarterback.
And if you talk to enough people, he's the best
player in the draft, best player in the draft, as

(09:53):
far as best talent in the draft him Travis Hunter. Well,
the problem is the Tennessee Titans have just pulled up
to the gas station and it's been.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
A few days since they've eaten.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
They're going to take what they need, and what they
need is a quarterback. So when you hear the discussions
about well, it's you know, best available, it's you know,
it's need, it's no like it's best available if you
already have a quarterback and they're looking for a QB,
which is why cam Ward's going to be the guy.

(10:31):
And so you could sit there and talk about, well, God,
but is that the best thing for the like you know,
you're in a spot where listen if Will Levis, if
they believed in Will Levis, Abdul Carter's the pick like,
there's a lot of people who would have thought, hey,
why not sign a veteran quarterback, make a move for
a veteran quarterback and then take an abdul Carter at

(10:51):
number one. But Tennessee's not in that spot, and so
best player available is a luxury if if you've got
something else there by way of quarterback, Tennessee doesn't. So
to abdul Carter's point, like, he may be the best
player in the draft. He may be number one absolutely

(11:15):
if there was a team with a quarterback, if Jacksonville,
who believes they have a quarterback, if they're picking number one,
of course New England, of course he's the guy. The
problem is you've pulled up to this rundown arco with
the guy out front smoking meth and not a lot
of options to eat, and Tennessee it's been a little while,

(11:36):
it's been a little while since they've had something in
their stomach, been a little so of course they're going
to take cam Ward. He's going to be the guy.
But ultimately Abdull Carter, Travis Hunter, some of these other
guys are going to be the best players in the draft.
The problem is it's need best player available is in
a perfect world if you've got everything one hundred percent,

(12:00):
but a team like Tennessee some of the other teams
in the NFL Draft, they have no choice. You need
a quarterback, just like Miles Garrett said. You need a
quarterback in this lead in this league. And that's why
cam Ward's going number one overall despite maybe not being
the best player available. Jonas KNOXI or Fox Sports Radio
at the Jonas Knox on X at the Jonas Knox

(12:20):
on X, by the way, started up a little Instagram page,
Jonas Knox Show on Instagram. I have another one that
I never use. I'll be honest with you, I never use,

It's just a complete waste of your times. Don't even

(12:40):
like it's prob. I don't even know the password. I
don't believe.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't know how to get into it.

Speaker 3 (12:44):

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up. Uh, we'll call
it about ten minutes from now here from the ti
raq dot Com studios. Uh. There's a growing trend in
the world of sports at events that you attend that
I think has become a little bit of a problem.
All right, I think it's I think we've gone way overboard.

(14:32):
It's a bit too much. I'll explain why that is
again coming up here at about ten minutes from now
here on FSR. So I thought this was an excellent point,
and we were talking about this a couple of weeks
ago and Brady Quinn brought up the point and he said,
you know, what's really the storyline of this draft? You know, like, like,

(14:56):
what do we have in this NFL draft that you
look at and you go, all right, well, at least
that's something that we can watch and track. It would
provide some entertainment.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
And it really was.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
A great point because other than the Shador Sanders situation,
what do you got, like, there's nothing, like, there's no
real suspense here. Cam Ward is a minus sixteen hundred
on DraftKings.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
To go number one. All right, then you've.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Got Abdul Carter, as we talked about a few minutes ago.
Then you've got Travis Hunter. Like if not for Shador Sanders,
what do you really have? I mean, I long for
the days when Laramie Tunsel and a video of him
smoking weed out of a gas mask popped up out
of nowhere on draft day. That was riveting television like that,

(15:52):
like that, like that that was that was something like
he popped up adn't like literally out of nowhere watching
the NFL draft, your your run of the mill NFL draft,
and all of a sudden he looked like one of
those guys off true detective giant gas mask filled with

(16:15):
hippie lettuce and just puffing away and ended up falling
in the draft. And there was all this controversy and
maybe it was his stepdad who did it, and they're like,
whatever it was. That guy has represented himself in the
NFL as his own agent and gotten multiple contracts done
and now he's off to Washington and one of the

(16:37):
low key great pickups of the offseason.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
But like you know, you don't have those storylines here.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
There's nothing And I'm not asking for anybody to smoke
weed out of a gas mask and in fact, nowadays
they would probably be celebrated, could come with a sponsorship
and it would probably be a gas mask company, would
you know, provide them.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
An il money.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
I have no idea, but like outside of like the
Shador Sanders discussion, like what do you really have, Like
there's it's kind of lacking, and so Brady brought that out.
I was like, yeah, that's a great point, Like there
really isn't anything else there. So there's this speculation that

(17:16):
maybe now it'll be somewhere out of the top three.
And Matt Miller, who's an ESPN draft analyst, wrote a
call um on Friday and said the following quote for
the Giants at three, I'm hearing quarterback. Even after signing
Russell Wilson to a one year deal, a scout told
me New York loving Shador is the worst kept secret

(17:37):
in the league right now. According to that scout, the
Giants sat a presence at every Colorado home game this season.
The Wilson and Jamis Winston deals shouldn't prevent the Giants
from drafting a quarterback at number three if one of
the top two passers is available. So basically, Cleveland balls
in your court, because when you start to look at

(18:02):
where else it makes sense, then you've got to drop
down to the Raiders at six. The Jets are sitting
at seven. First of all, I don't think he's getting
that far. I said it last week. I don't think
it's happening. But this really is the only interesting element
or storyline of it all. Like there's been some stuff

(18:25):
about okay, well, Ashton Genty, how high is he going
to go? And the betting ons would tell you, okay,
the Raiders at six or the Bears sitting at ten
is where Ashton Genty could go. But outside of that, like,
there's no Shador Sanders is the guy. So I was thinking, like,
what would be if we're going to play that game right,

(18:46):
what would be the landing spot if we're going to
double down on the interesting of all of this, Like,
what would be the landing spot that you would look
at and go all right, well, let's go all in
on Shadoor Sanders here a right, So let's just say
let's play it out hypothetically. Abdul Carter goes too to Cleveland.

(19:09):
The Giants, with an opportunity to take Shador Sanders, they
go Travis Hunter they just go, listen, we're gonna take
best player available, best player on our board. They go there,
you know New England's not taking a quarterback. Let's say
Jacksonville's not taking a quarterback. Let's play along and say
the Raiders are going to take Ashton Genty And let's

(19:32):
play along with some of the other odds that say
that the Jets sitting at seven after addressing the quarterback
position this offseason by bringing in Justin Fields, they're gonna
go Tyler Warren. Then you've got Carolina, New Orleans and Chicago.
Carolina is going to give Bryce Young every opportunity. Let's
say New Orleans looks at it and goes no, no, no,

(19:54):
Like we will buy into Derek Carr here, but we
need to add around him, and then you know the
Bears aren't going to be taking a quarterback a ten. Again,
this is a long shot, but if we're going to
go interesting element or storyline of the draft, and maybe
it's not ideal for Shador to slide that far and

(20:17):
to go from potential top picking the draft or top
two pick in the draft all the way to the teams,
But if we're going to play along to this, the
Niners and the Cowboys are sitting there at eleven and twelve.
If there's one organization that does not care about hurting
feelings at all whatsoever, and we'll openly talk about competition,

(20:42):
trying to get better, etc, Etc.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Etc. The Niners are the team. Now.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Again, this is a long shot, but based on these
seventy five thousand reports and rumors we've gotten about the
NFL Draft, anything should be on the table.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Anything should be on the table.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's like when people complain about conspiracy theories, It's like, Okay, well,
then what really happened.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, I don't know, but it definitely wasn't that. Well,
how do you know?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's like, we don't know where he's gonna get drafted,
So anything should be on the table. So if we're
gonna play along and go all right, what's the most
interesting element of the draft, Well, it's where shad Or
Sanders ends up, all right, So how can we double
down on that?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
If he ended up in.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
A place like a San Francisco, like a Dallas. Look,
his dad even said, I'm happy with wherever he goes.
There are possibilities here in which we could really ratchet
up the interest all this if I were betting on it,
I don't he's not gonna be there. I think he's
gone by six. But if you believe some of the

(21:50):
other stuff that has come out about well, you know
there's people that you know, maybe he's gonna slide, maybe
they're maybe they're down. Okay, well let's play along, Like,
let's go all the way in on this. The Niners
are not afraid to take a quarterback or bring in
a quarterback if it's going to piss off a quarterback
that's already on the roster. And if the negotiations with

(22:13):
brock Purty get a little dicey and maybe they're like, listen,
you're asking for this, and we feel like we could
get that production from here. It would not surprise me
whatsoever if there was a move like that was that
was made and Jerry Jones sitting there at twelve, even
though he's already got Dak Prescott.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Like, Jerry Jones loves to be the talk of the draft.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's why he nearly passed on Zach Martin and wanted
to draft Johnny manziel So. In a draft that is
lacking storylines, interesting storylines, the most interesting going into it
is where should or Sanders ends up. And the most
interesting during it is the fact that he could fall.

(22:54):
And you've got a couple of organizations sitting there right
outside the top ten that are not afraid to gamble
or make a move that would get people talking and
maybe scratch their head a little bit.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
They've done it before, both have. It's a possibility.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio coming up top of Next
Hour a little over twelve minutes from now here from
the tire rack dot Com studios. You know, we mentioned
earlier in the show that upon further review, something was
kind of a waste of time. I'm telling you right now.
There's also something that applies to in the NFL. We
will get into that for you again coming up here
a little over twelve minutes from now Before we get

(23:31):
to another edition of Do You Care, Though, be sure
to check out the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel. There's
a ton of great videos for many of our Fox

Speaker 1 (23:50):
There are 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
story from the last week. But Jonas, the real question
is do you care?

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yap of that?

Speaker 3 (24:06):
We turn it over to our executive producer Bo Benson
to find out what the hell's going on?

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Bo Uh, A lot of stuff going on. Actually. Grizzlies
general manager Zach Cleman took full responsibility for the surprise
firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins, saying that no player's
input led to his decision and it was his alone. Jonas,
do you care?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh god?

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Though no, hell boy, coach was the fall guy in
the NBA get out of town?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Like, no, come on, this is like and what's he
gonna do? Say that?

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Jah Moran came to me and was like, hey, you know,
can we get rid of coach? He told me to
get rid of my gunlighter, Like, dude, You're never gonna
get the truth.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Why even bother be thinking about it?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Next two times w NBA MVP Brianna Stewart has re
signed with the New York Liberty. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Nope, I don't care? Oh my god, absolutely not, absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Next, there is apparently momentum building within the NFL to
ban the Eagles tush push play from the NFL. Jonas
do you care?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yes, but not really about the play because like I'm
kind of indifferent on the play, Like if they keep it,
they keep it, if they get rid of it, whatever,
it's kind of a I'm indifferent, Like it doesn't really do.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Anything for me.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's just it's goofy, Like it looks goofy. It doesn't
look like anything else that's out there. I just I
love the idea that that goofy play has generated the
discussion that it had, Like it's a really controversial thing,
Like it's really controversial, Like oh my god, how's it?

(25:44):
And like we've talked about on the show before, and
Labar and I have joked about, like listen, the tush
push isn't the one that I look at and go,
oh my god, that's egregious. It's like the dragging a
ball carrier across the end zone, Like a guy's pushing
towards the end zone, an alignment will pick him up,
like he's throwing bags of cement onto the back of

(26:05):
a flatbed truck to try and get him across the
end zone.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Everyone's like, oh, nothing to see here, it's weird.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Next, after Lebron James said that Giannis would score two
hundred and fifty points playing in the older era of
the NBA, Jannis himself said that it's unfair to compare
those eras. So Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Not really?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Like, I mean, it's kind of a ridiculous thing to say,
of course I score two hundred and fifty points.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Like, like, why do we do that?

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Why do we after we've got the advancements in technology
and of human beings and of mankind, do we look
back in previous generations that go, oh my god, oh boy,
I would have done so well back then. It's like
seeing people in the seventeen hundreds and going, how long
does it take you to get across the street, dude,

(26:58):
like to get my car? Like there's a reason why
things were the way they were back there, back then,
Like there's a reason why that happened because we didn't
have all these advancements.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Like there's a reason why.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
The point totals and the players look the way they
looked and scored the way they did back then, is
because yeah, they didn't like it hadn't gotten to the
level where Giannis is running around, flying from you know,
mid half court to the rim in one step. But
it just sort of try and compare Eras has never
made any sense to me yet for some reason, That's
kind of how things work in the NBA. You've got

(27:31):
to stir up conversations like that just sort of get
any buzz around the league.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Next, Jonas, one of the best things about this business
is that we get to react to live sports. So
I'm gonna switch it up on you here. Maybe you
could ask me if I care about something. But Aaron
Judge has just hit his third home run in the game,
in the bottom of the fourth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers.
It's now sixteen to four Yankees. Jonas, Can you ask
me if I care about Aaron Judge hitting this home run?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Bo Benson, do you care about Aaron Judge hitting his
third home run in the game going on today?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
No?

Speaker 4 (27:59):
I do not care. Shocking that Aaron Judge can do
this when you know it's Game two of the regular
season against the Milwaukee Brewers. But when he's in the
World Series, Game five, game on the line, he can't
even catch a ball. I do not care about it
home runs anymore.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Look, what are you, Joe Kelly? You know, like we
don't need to take pot shots to the guy. He
lost a heartbreaking World Series. He's seven to five and
he's trying to figure it out in the outfield. Also,
by the way, wasn't it last year that he when
he got hurt? It was at Dodgers station. I believe
it was actually so literally like he wants nothing to
do with the Dodgers. Ever, sixteen to four in the

(28:34):
fourth inning. Here, you know, there is some there is
some some symmetry here. So he got hurt last year
against the Dodgers, he lost the World Series against the Dodgers,
and the reason he was back in New York is
because he was having a contract dispute or a contract
negotiation not only with the Yankees but also the Dodgers
rival the Giants. Yeah, so there's like a like a Redres.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Tried to sign him too. Oh wow, yeah? Next, yeah,
last one here Lebron James versus Steven A Smith in
UFC Jonas who you got And do you care about
this whole thing with them?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I do?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
And let me tell you why I love it this,
I always this. I find this stuff fascinating at a
certain point, people in our business on this side of
it who are not athletes, You've got to just accept
the reality of what it is that we do. If

(29:32):
not for the athletes, the teams, the leagues, and the organizations.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
We don't have a job.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Like I know that that's going to be a blow
to a lot of people's ego. Well I could do
this without them. No you couldn't. No, you couldn't. It's
like a restaurant saying customers, we don't need them. No, listen,
you kind of do, remember COVID.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
You kind of actually do so.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Like I know that Steven A and like I respect
what he did former Fox Sports radio alum here. I
respect what he did and what he's done in the business.
I love the fact that he's getting paid what he's
getting paid. It's great for everybody that does sports media.
But like, there's a.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Reason why we are where we are.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
And those guys are where they are because we can't
get into that world and expect it to go well.
So let's go ahead and just relax on the we'll
fight and swing on people. So you want to talk
about a waste of energy. Like you want to talk
about a real waste of energy. We'll explain what that
is coming up here in just a couple of moments.
From now, Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can hang

(30:41):
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 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,
and we do it all from the ti iraq dot
com studios ti iraq dot com. Welp you get there

(31:04):
an unmatched selection fast free shipping, Free road has a
protection at over ten thousand recommended installers ti iraq dot com.
The way tire buying should be. So, I was mentioning
this earlier that there's like things that like conversations that
you have that are kind of like a waste of energy,
Like thoughts that you have that are a waste of energy,
things that you do that, upon further review, are a

(31:26):
waste of energy. And like one of the examples I
gave was in reference to the NCAA tournament, because you
remember when the brackets came out, everybody was complaining and
crying and bitching because, oh, this team didn't get in
and North Carolina got in and Native Desserts are all
and then like, we're down to the final eight teams
and they're all like the top seeds outside of Texas Tech,

(31:46):
who's a three seed. Other than that, it's all ones
and twos, like, so apparently they did something right. Apparently
you know, they did get it right. The best teams
are the teams that are still playing. The best teams
are the teams that are going to be featured this
weekend in the Elite eight, and you're going to get
either a one or two and possibly a three in

(32:10):
the final four, which is exactly how the break. But
everyone wanted to look at the bottom of the bracket like, oh,
that's sixty eighth team that didn't get in.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I remember saying at the.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Time, like, dude, who cares, Like can't we just enjoy
the tournament? Are we so built on complaints now that
that you just that that's all we want to do
is just crying and listen.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Sometimes I'll complain about things, and I'll be complaining about
things later on in this show. I understand that. But
when it comes to the NCAA Tournament, can we not
just agree on this. It's awesome. The first two days
are awesome. You've got basketball.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
All the time.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
You get it for three weeks and then man up
and vanish like a fart in the wind. Every year
it delivers.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Every year, you got great games that deliver every single year.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
You've never had an NCAA tournament go by, and to yourself, man,
all those games kind of sucked. Man, those are those
are kind of it's like no, Like, yeah, maybe you
don't get as many upsets one year to the next,
but you still got great games. Houston's been in two
great games in a row. So I look at it

(33:18):
and I go, we just want to sit here and
complain about the team that didn't get And then now
that we're here down to the final eight teams, it's
like all the best teams, It's like, man, the committee
didn't get that one right. Okay, what about the ones
that they did get right? You know, like the teams
that are still playing, the teams that they project projected
as the ones and the twos and then a three
seed in there, like what about those? But like, listen,

(33:39):
we don't want to die. And my point on that
was like, it's like you're packing for a trip and
you spend all this time thinking about what I'm gonna
wear and what dinner is, and then what's this day
gonna look like? What's the weather like? Is it gonna
be windy that way that day? Or is there gonna
be is that breeze going to be a cold breeze
or is it gonna be a warmer breeze? And I
don't need to do it. It's and then you get

(34:00):
there and you didn't need any of it. It's like
why did I worry about that stuff? You just needed
the essentials, And the essentials are the teams that are
remaining because they're the best teams, just like as predicted
and projected when the brackets came out a couple of
weeks ago. So it's kind of a waste of energy,
waste of time. And then like you see this story

(34:24):
come out that kind of ties into that. Charles Robinson
of Yahoo is reporting that Roger Goodell and owners will
discuss the possibility of adding an eighteenth game to the
regular season at next week's owners meetings. You don't say,

(34:46):
huh boy, that's man. You mean like Roger Goodell talking
about it at last year's draft on The Pat mcavie
Show starring AJ Hawk.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
You mean, like Roger Goodell talking about it then.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Like that that wasn't like the the dead giveaway that
like maybe we were getting to this point like like
you mean, I'm like, oh, it's like boy, boy, that boy,
that wasn't the of course, and spoiler alert, it's going
to get passed sooner rather than later. So now the

(35:22):
players can wait until the current CBA is up, which
I think is twenty thirty one.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I mean, if they really want.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
To hold, but the owners are going to push for
it before that, and reportedly get to push for it
before we get past this decade, Like that's that's it.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
It's going to be.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Well before that, we're going to have eighteen games. But
it's like the NFL comes out with like all these
like different stories, Like you know, Roger Goodell and I've
talked about this before, the NFL will kind of like
you know, throw something out. They won't just tell you
specifically what they want. They'll just kind of throw you
one and then throw another one over here, and then

(36:02):
throw you a story here and then discuss it. You know,
but hey, listen, you know we're a long way away.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
It's just stop.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
It's like I got news for you. When you tell
somebody could be your better half, could be anybody in
your life. When you tell somebody, I'm gonna go meet
so and so for a beer, that's a lie. Okay,
you want to know why that's a lie because it's
never just a beer that doesn't exist, Like you're wasting

(36:40):
your time, Like why don't you just say, hey, we're
gonna go out and get a few drinks, because that's
what it turns into. And it's never just a beer,
Like the NFL is like, yeah, we're gonna you know,
we're thinking about having you know, we're gonna toss this
discussion around, Like could you just stop.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
We're gonna get to eighteen games.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
It's happening, so like, stop talking about it in the draft,
Stop mentioning that it'll get brought up in a report
at the owner's meetings. Stop just going well, we're just
can we cut the crap here?

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Can we can we just cut the crap?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Like you're wasting everybody's time and everybody's energy. Why don't
we just get the whole thing started? Now, Hey, we
want it? How do we get there? What do you
guys need from us? Hey, you want to be able
to smoke more weed? No problem. In fact, I'll tell
you what. Give us an eighteenth game and you can
smoke weed out of the yallow horn at a Vikings
game if you get there. But hey, but like whatever,

(37:39):
can we just like let's stop. We're gonna get to
that point. Eighteen games are here, it's happening, So why
don't we just speed up the process and get to
the point.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Amm gonna go grab a beer? No you're not. You're
gonna grab five.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Like that's a that's like stop saying that, Like you're
gonna grab five or six and then we'll see how
the night goes. And I got news for you. If
he's looking down at his phone, it's not because he
just got a text. It's because he just got an alert.
The uber is right around the corner. Did you really

(38:16):
need one.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
For a beer?

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Like?

Speaker 3 (38:21):
So, like the NFL like like throws these stories out
and like, ah, well, you know, hey, listen, we're gonna
talk about it. It's like, no, you're going to talk
about how you can get there, because you're going to
get there. So what are we doing having these discussions
about all of this garbage with ah, well we'll have
we'll talk about it here. We like to get to
that point. But we wanted to make sense. And you know,

(38:42):
there's player safety and like all that's yeah, like all players.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
It's okay, all right, player safety. Yeah, you're right that
that's the delay on all this.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
No, the delay is you're just waiting for the for
the approval for the conversation with the NFLPA so he
can go ahead and fast track that for the current
CBA is done, and then you get it's like, come on,
let's just get to the point. At the Jonas Knox
on X. At the Jonas Knox on X also, I
wanted to mention this because Isaac Longekron had brought up

(39:14):
the Russell Wilson tweet.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
The Yankees are just annihilating Milwaukee right now. I mean
it's it's they're destroying him.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
They've hit like forty five home runs, they're up like
two hundred and eight to three or something like that.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
It's just complete blowout and so you know, Thomers, those
are rookie numbers, and I think those are pretty accurate. Matthew,
thank you for joining the show. But those you know.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Russell Wilson, who's a brand new member of the New
York Giants, he sent out some tweet about the Great
Bambino and like.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
It's just it's you listen, it's it's everything that you.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Would expect from Russell Wilson. And I was mentioning this
earlier and I was like, man, I've never met the guy,
Like I don't. He seems like a super nice guy.
And the great thing about Russ what Wilson is like,
there's no you don't have to worry about him getting
in trouble.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
He's not going to get a duy, he's not going.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
To get popped for peds. He's not gonna be arrested
for you know, assault at a at a club at
one point thirty in the morning, Like you.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Don't have to worry about it.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Like he's not gonna have like, you know, eighty massage therapists.
He's not gonna get caught in any sort of scared
Like you have nothing to worry about, literally nothing to
worry about at all. And yet for some reason, nobody
wants anything to do with him. Really, it is an
amazing thing, Like it is amazing, Like we've been here

(40:48):
and I have been an Aaron Rodgers defender and people
have called me, you know, Aaron Rodgers ball washer and
all that. Like I've heard it all, and I've been
a defender of Aaron right, And it has nothing to
do with the fact that, you know, Fox Sports Radio myself,
LeVar Brady, had nothing to do with the fact that
we were featured in Aaron Rodgers' Netflix documentary Enigma, episode three,

(41:12):
for those that are keeping score, has nothing to do
with that because because I didn't even know about it
until somebody reached out and said, hey, had no idea,
So say.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Whatever you want, that's fine. I've heard it all.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
But it is kind of interesting that we've spent the
better part of five years where people have told.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
You Aaron Rodgers is all about Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
He's a distraction, He's this, he's that, he's too political,
he's anti.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Vax he.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Like all this crap that we've heard about Aaron Rodgers.
And oh my god, you know, wonder Green Bay moved
on and they don't need they've ridded themselves of the problem,
and this and this and this, and then.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
You get this report from Jerry Dulik of the Pittsburgh
Post Gazette who said that Russell Wilson wanted to stay
in Pittsburgh right up until the end before signing with
the Giants. And it's like, you have nothing to worry
about off the field with Russell Wilson. There is no baggage.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
There's no worry about whether or not he's going to
show up, or whether or not he's going to go underground,
or he's going to disappear and take ayahuasca through an
IV on the back of a camel somewhere in Egypt.
Like you have nothing to worry about whatsoever. And still

(42:36):
nobody wants anything to do with him. And look, I
don't know anything about Russell Wilson personally. I've never met
the guy at all. It's just bizarre that we've been
hearing all of this stuff about Aaron Rodgers, distraction, distraction, distraction,

(42:57):
and yet that's the one Pittsburgh won and the guy
with none of those issues. They want nothing to do with, literally,
like nothing to do with They were trying to retain
justin fields more than they were trying to keep Russell Wilson,
Like that's a fact, Like there's a better chance they

(43:22):
signed Bubby Brister than Russell Wilson at this point, like
it is like it's like over and Russe is with
New York now and all that, like there was they
wanted nothing to do with him. Rogers, who we've been told, oh,
he's just And by the way, this isn't just about well,
what's what's the play like on the field, Do a

(43:42):
side by side of the year Rogers had against the
year Wilson had last year.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Do as side by side and it's really hard to
decipher the difference.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
And Russ played less games, but the overs were obviously
less like it like you could just I mean, it's
almost yet for some reason, like he's one and done
with teams now.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
It's it's just it's a weird thing.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
I don't know what it is, but there's something about
him that people in the NFL are like, I'm done, man,
I'm done. And if the Giants go ahead and they
still take Shad Or Sanders at three, even though they.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Signed Russell Wilson, that's the Giants.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Letting everybody know, like you know, yeah, like we're kind
of on the same page as you guys. We just
need somebody just in case, just in case. It's it's
a strange situation, the dynamic, like you've got this one
guy that we've been hearing all these bad things about
the other one you never hear anybody, and then like

(44:51):
nobody wants anything. It's just it's bizarre. So again, I
don't know the guy, never met him. It just is very,
very odd how thing have changed over the past few years.
Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio again at the
Jonas knock On X. At the Jonas Knox on X.

Hey sloppy beef bleeps. Why is your new IG page

(47:26):
following big Burly bears and fashion accounts? At Jonas Knox
Shaw on Instagram, at the Jonas knox on axes where
you can find some of these fun compliments that are
handed out every single Saturday.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Think this what you don't think it was something to do?

Speaker 3 (47:49):
I'm actually gonna repost the insulting tweets on the ig
page at some point coming up soon. See people can
kind of see for themselves just what's really going on.
So at Jonas Knoxhaw on instagrammers where you can find them,
all right, Jesus all right?

Speaker 2 (48:08):
So I do like the fact that.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
You know, Kirk Cousins showing up and hanging out in Cleveland,
and uh, there's a report that came out a short
time ago that said, well, you know, listen, Kirk Cousins
was in Cleveland, had you know, nothing to do with football?
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, sure, I'm sure.

(48:35):
But the guy literally wouldn't work out with Justin Jefferson
and receivers in Minnesota in the off season because he
told him that was family time. Like, no, this is
all about family. But you know, let me stop in
at a Chipotle at a local Cleveland place for dinner

(48:59):
and nothing to see here. Oh okay, yeah, you got it,
Just like there was nothing to see with Bill Belichick
at a Chick fil A in Atlanta. He definitely wasn't
there interviewing for the Falcons job at all. No, it
was not happening. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
No at all.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
That's like your ex that lives two hours away and
you see him right down the street pulling out of
your house.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
What are you doing here?

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Oh no, it was just cruising by just in the neighborhood.
Oh you were, huh with a pair of binoculars and
a jar of lotion next to you.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah okay, yeah, just in the neighborhood. Got it?

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Hey, listen, happens all the time me too. What a coincidence? Like,
come on, dude, But like that's why when Albert Breer
had the report that came out and this was from Breer,
on Sports Illustrated in SI earlier this week, where he
said my understanding it would be chiefly when it comes
to Kirk Cousins and his no trade clause, chiefly to

(50:04):
avoid the situation he found himself in last April when
he was blindsided by Atlanta's decision to take Michael Pennox
Junior with the eighth pick, And that could be where
the draft position of the aforementioned teams comes into play.
Rather than taking anyone's word for it, Cousins has already
signaled to teams that he would likely want to wait
to see what happens over draft weekend before accepting a

(50:25):
trade in a way that should also work for the teams,
allowing them to go through a full draft process and
make decisions on guys such as Colorado Shadora Sanders and
old Missus Jackson's Dart independent of cousins destination like Cleveland
is the spot that makes the most sense for Kirk Cousins,
like that's the spot. And if Atlanta can pull a

(50:47):
trade off and Cleveland goes Abdul Carter too, which is
what many people expect them to do, they're going to
be looking at this as an opportunity to at a
veteran quarterback, bring him in and bring in somebody who's
familiar with Kevin Stefanski's system. Stefanski was in Minnesota for

(51:10):
a long time, Kirk Cousins worked with him. That's the
one that makes the most sense. And if you're Kirk Cousins,
that's the spot that makes the most sense for you personally.
There's a lot of people assume, based on cousins year
last year, he's washed. That's the assumption. That's why Atlanta
has told her like, listen, ay, we're you know, we're
gonna go with Michael Pennix. He's gonna be our guy

(51:32):
moving forward. Like, so the assumption is Kirk Cousins is
washed based on his year last year. But in fairness
to Kirk Cousins, and it's not like he was lighting
the league on fire. But things changed significantly after he
suffered the injury last year that they told everybody, yeah,
I listen, there's there's nothing more to it. It was like,
you know, shoulder whatever. Like he suffered an injury last

(51:55):
year separate from his achilles, so he was still working
his way back from the achilles. You saw Aaron Rodgers
get better and better throughout the course of the year.
Kirk Cousins got dinged up in a game and the
Falcons tried to play it down and all. And then
you look at his next four games after that start
and you go, oh, there was clearly was something wrong

(52:15):
and he admitted to it after the year. They didn't
say anything during the year, they tried to downplay it.
So I do wonder another year coming off the Achilles,
he's not dealing with the injury that he suffered in
season last year, maybe you get a different player. And
if you're Kirk Cousins, it makes all the sense in
the world that you would want to go to Cleveland
to play for Kevin Stefanski, a guy you had success

(52:38):
with a no from your time in Minnesota. But again
just in the area, just in the area, totally coincidental,
not there at all for any football reasons whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
He was not in Cleveland for any football reasons whatsoever.
Totally coincidence.

it's coming up next year. I was mentioning this earlier.
There's something that has completely gone overboard, completely over the top.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
We will get into that.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
For you right here on FSR, but for all the
latest from around the world of sports now, ladies and gentlemen.
He is royalty, through and through, one of the all
time greats in sports radio history.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Just ask him. He's the one and only Isaac long Girl.
Back to you, Jonas.

Speaker 5 (54:05):
You know, Jonas good social media never disappoints.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
No matter how much.

Speaker 5 (54:12):
Great stuff we find out there, there's always more. Because
at ten a m. Eastern time this morning, Jonas the
new York Yankees posted their starting lineup for today's game
against Milwaukee on social media, to which at cutter Is
King commented, quote, this lineup is so pathetic unquote geez well.

(54:33):
Today that very lineup has hit eight home runs, tying
a franchise single game record, two away from tying the
major league single game record. Right now, the Yankees have
an eighteen to six lead over the Brewers. In the
top of the seventh inning, Aaron Judge by himself today
three home runs, eight RBI, including a grand slam.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
A short time ago.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
In the bottom of the sixth inning, he had an
RBID double off the right field wall, just missing becoming
the first Yankee to have a four home run game
since lou Gerigg in nineteen thirty two. Paul Goldschmid, Cody Bellinger,
and Judge led off the bottom of the first inning
with back to back to back first pitch home runs

(55:19):
against former Yankee Nestor Cortes. Again, the Yankees lead the
Brewers eighteen to six. On the top of the seventh inning.
The Yankees have tied a franchise single game record with
eight home runs, two away from tying the major league
single game record. That was set by the Toronto Blue
Jays against the Orioles back in nineteen eighty seven. The
Elite eight tips off tonight at six zho nine Eastern

(55:41):
is one seed Florida ticks on three seed Texas tech
that at eight forty nine eastern it's one seed Duke
against two seed Alabama. NFL Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benfords
agreed to a four year, seventy six million dollar extension. Finally, Jonas,
we have a follow up now, as you've been discussing.
A video clip that the Yankees posted of themselves hitting

(56:03):
those back to back to back home runs in the
first inning on three straight pitches was reposted by newly
signed New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson with the caption
quote so sweet the Great Bambino is smiling unquote.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Well.

Speaker 5 (56:20):
Within the last half hour, we have even more reaction
to Russell Wilson's post. At Duber Ruber One commented quote,
you sound like my great aunt Susan. Posting on Facebook
at Robert Underscore, Mick Jagg added quote zippet loser. At

(56:43):
Pickens Betta commented quote, what the bleep are you even saying? Actually,
and finally at Willie MD, PhD CPA Alpha Male contributed quote,
shut the bleep up you wantushed up bum just out
of curiosity. I wonder how many of those commenters are

(57:06):
also fans of yours Jonas Jesus, you can call me Isaac.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Yeah, uh, I wired people? So what is head? Some look?

Speaker 3 (57:17):
I get it it is, Isn't it.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Kind of interesting?

Speaker 4 (57:20):
Though?

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Yes, Rogers, we've been hearing about Rogers for for all
these years, about oh my god, he's a distraction. There's
oh I don't want to deal with all. You have
none of that with Russell Wilson, yet Pittsburgh wants that
one and not the other one. Like there's just there
is there's something weird going on. Man, with Russell Wilson.
People just don't buy the act.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Like they don't.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
And even me saying that I'm calling it an act
and I don't know the guy, it just there is
this perception. It's a little strange. I don't like to
point this out, Isaac. I don't know how you fall
when it comes to this. I don't fall. I don't
so I'm a maybe I'm a little bit old fashioned.
I think we've kind of gone overboard with some things here.

(58:05):
Every single year, ballparks around Major League Baseball Ball roll
up like this new menu, like they've got new menu
either oh yeah, enough enough, like let's go. This has
got to stop, and it's got to stop immediately.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
I think it reached the tipping point in around twenty
twenty three, is what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
I like, like some of the crap, like cotton candy, fries,
tiramasou batting helmets.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
There's there's a hot dog that's like three feet long
and it's got like.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
All these like some of the crap that teams are
rolling out, Like there's like a corn dog but it's
dipped in like green dye, and.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Like where where where where will it end? Where will
it end? Can't I just get it?

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Can't you just get like a hot dog and some nachos,
maybe a soft pretzel and that's it? Like what like
why the Like I've never been a fan of of
big men use. It overwhelms me to begin with when
you go to a restaurant, I've never been a fan
of it. Like it's gotten to the point nowadays where
it's like, oh I can I can outdo that team
who's eating this crap Jonas.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Ryan Berschinger is calling right now. He has he's upset
with you for saying.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
That he's got well, he's got an eating disorder.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
Like like like Ryan Berschinger is a better that guy.
He's a better looking Joey Chestnut. Like I mean, he's
a better looking Joey Chestnut. He eats everything and and
looks like, uh, you know, he's a he's a uh
a J C. Penny model. I swear to God, like
you would open up j. C. Penny catalog and Ryan

(59:40):
Berschinger would be one of the models there, like sporting
like some like Stafford Polo Jonas.

Speaker 5 (59:48):
Yeah, I'm afraid we have an update.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
What's that?

Speaker 5 (59:52):
This season, the Seattle Mariners have debuted what they are
terming the what Up corn Dog. It is a Mariner's
blue honeybattered corn dog with spicy crunch served with nacho cheese.
So it's this corn dog that really is less Mariner's

(01:00:16):
Blue than vomit turquoise green.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
I just like, what are we doing, dude? Like what
do we do it? Like?

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
It isn't a corn dog enough? Like a corn dogs
one of the great like the simple pleasures, Like it's
so great, like it's it doesn't make a mess. You
don't have to like if you don't want to put
a condiment on it, you don't have to like it is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
You said condiment, right, condiments?

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Yeah, you know what I said? Okay, just you we're
we're both dads. We don't know what that other one means.
So I just like you look at all of these,
it's like, why, no, nobody's getting that, and and if
somebody's getting it, they're not enjoying it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
The other problem I have with all these all these
new food concession stand items is all of them are
horrifically overpriced. Not one of these things that you describe
costs less than ten bucks, all of.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
That exactly like you're paying top dollar for bottom shelf food.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Would you could just go, hey, corn dog, hot dog, pretzel,
like if you ask, like if I were to say,
right now, we'll create a menu. We believe in simple
five food items at a game, right, five food items
at a game.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
All right, I'll give it to you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Hot dog, corn dog, fries, soft pretzel, ice cream.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
That's it? That is it? Like you don't need anything else?

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
That's true. I hate to add to the grotesque nature
of this discussion. But we have another new item this
year at an unnamed ballpark in Major League Baseball. But
they are selling an item that is described as donut
holes tossed in cinnamon sugar, served with cream cheese, icing,

(01:02:05):
and Dulce de lecha caramel sauce. Now that actually sounds fine,
But the name of this entree is and I quote
the ball bucket unquote.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Okay, well, the name alone would probably do to entice
a lot of peo, will probably entice a lot of
people to try it just the name alone. Like in fact,
there's some people who just want to order it just
to say the name and then you know, go from there.
But that doesn't sound that bad, but it's still unnecessary.

(01:02:35):
You just ice Cream's fine, ice cream, it's fine, like,
and you don't like it. We're making it too cought,
Like you're trying to give people reasons to come out
to the ballpark. And I literally don't know one single person.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
On planet Earth who is.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Like, hey man, we got to go to the game today.
Who's pitching? Who cares? They've got a corn dog dipped
in tartar sauce. That's got ketchup mozzarella uh and penz
oil on the side. Oh gotta try it. It's called
the lugnut dog like it. Just it's so dumb and
for some reason, every single year, Hey, we got something,

(01:03:13):
we got I'd love to know how many of these
things are actually sold at.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
The end of the year.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
All the promotion, all the detail, all the thought, how
many did you actually sell?

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
It's ridiculous? All right at the Jonas Knox on X.
At the Jonas Knocks on X. All right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Jonas, How could.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
You not get to these stories?

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
These are the scrats And for that we turn it
over to our executive producer Bo Benson to find out
what the hell we've missed so far in the show.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
Bo's start with a heartbreaker. Here, USC superstar Juju Watkins
tore her a cl She will not obviously be able
to play in the rest of the women's tournament and
hopefully she will be back ready next year. But the
huge gut punch there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
By the way. That was a brutal injury.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Yeah, brutal looking injury, Like that's that's one of those
ones where like players on the court.

Speaker 4 (01:05:21):
Yeah, like, oh boy, everybody knew when you watch it happen,
it was not good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
So yeah, it's and you know what, you know what's
fascinating though, because coverage is what it is now of sports,
there's the second something happens, we all know what the
injury is. Like, there was a guy I forget his name,
I believe he was I think he played for Louisville.

(01:05:47):
I think it was Louisville Kevin where No, well, no,
that was that was all still that's that might be
the all timer like that, that was brutal. But there
was a guy in the tournament this year where he
went down on a non content injury.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
They show the replay like, oh Achilles.

Speaker 4 (01:06:02):
Oh yeah, well like everybody just is like the Cousins
last year, right, yeah, saw.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
You just like you knew all like here we are
like like so people like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
We've we've consumed so much sports and have seen so
much of this that you just know when it's bad
just watching.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
And when she went down with the injury, you knew, oh,
that's it. It's over, and yeah, that's brutal. Hopefully she
can she can get back fully healthy because once.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
You once you start getting one injury, you have no
idea how your body's gonna respond moving forward.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
What else we got bout.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
The Ravens and John Harbaugh have agreed to a contract
extension running through twenty twenty eight I think it's a
great deal. Some someone that will remain unnamed here at
Fox Sports Radio was not as enthused, saying that he's
a choke artist, which I think is weird because you know,
I don't think he told Mark Andrews to drop that ball,
but the goal line to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
Who who's the who at Fox Sports Radio thinks he's
a choke artist? Just in fact, don't tell me who
it is to be their Twitter handle?

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Yeah yeah, it rhymes with a schmanden schmousch.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
So okay, yeah, I mean listen, I know that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Yes, like I wow. Here's what I would say about
John Harbaugh. Lamar Jackson literally added a decade onto his career.
Oh yeah, And what I say about that is this,
if you go back to twenty eighteen, we've talked about
on the show before, there was a report out that

(01:07:33):
Lamar Jackson was a rookie Ozzy Knews Like, so, Joe
Flacco was there, longtime Raven Ozzy Knewson was there, he
was stepping aside at the end of the year. And
then John Harbaugh was there. And this report came out
that the Ravens at the end of the year were
going to move on from Joe Flacco, John Harbaugh and
Ozzy Knewson, who was already walking away anyways, and they

(01:07:55):
were just going to start fresh with Lamar Jackson. It
was going to be a brand new air of Ravens football.
Lamar gets in the game, they go on a run,
they make the playoffs. John Harbut gets an extension and
based on Lamar Jackson and just there and look, I
think John Harbor is a good coach, but that moment
right there added if he played, if he coaches throughout

(01:08:17):
the end of this contract, from that moment added an
extra ten years to his career based on the performance
of Lamar Jackson in that season.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
Yeah, uh, you have any theories on why Taylor Jenkins
was fired by the Grizzlies or wait.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Like I mean, they're they're saying, like, listen, no player
was involved, and it's just of.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
Course there were players like in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Like what do you think that's the way the league works.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Like if a player doesn't like the coach, he has
an opportunity to go public with it, and he may have,
you know, pissed off because like everybody loved him, like
everybody loved Taylor Jenkins and then you know John Moran
had his issues and all that. It was like, you know,
you'd love to play for the coach and I think
you'd been there like six years or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
It just it's the NBA to where the players.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
Run the league and if they don't like a coach,
he's gone, yeah like that and that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
That's the way the league operates.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Nine home runs of the Yankees today, They will probably
have a chance to break it one more time here,
so we'll see what happens there.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
By the way, what do you want to bet that
the Yankees come out and just like lay an egg tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Like that's how baseball were.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
This season is so long that you're gonna have a
position player pitch one day and then the opposite team
gets a no hitter the next. So it's been a
fun one thanks to Boe, Chris and Isaac.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Fox Sports Radio continues. Next shonas Son of a Bitch,
