Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Well there was a surprise,
but something that probably shouldn't be a surprise in the
world of sports. We'll get in that coming up here
in just a couple of moments. From now, Jonas knocks
Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with us as

the way tire buying should be already burnt my mouth

(00:42):
on coffee. This will be a fun show. I can
already tell what a disaster the next two hours are
going to be. Hold on, let me let me try
and redo this a little bit better, but is still
dealing with some issues. It's like eating cereal. We you
don't have enough milk in it. Remember the as cereal
ohs back in the day. If you didn't have enough
milk your os the roof of your mouth felt like
a bomb went off inside awful feeling. But we're gonna

(01:06):
cut through it here and we're gonna have fun for
the next couple hours. So everybody saw what happened last night.
It was the big story in sports. You had number
one seed in Purdue going down to Fairley Dickinson that
if you actually watched the game, it really it wasn't
all that close. They were making the point in the broadcast.

(01:27):
Fairley Dickinson was just the better team. They outplayed him
the entire time. I mean, you had Zach Eady, who Look,
I'm not trying to piss anybody off here, but Zach
Eaty looks like Yao Ming. Anybody who thinks he doesn't
look like Yao Ming. And if you want to get
caught up, and you know some obvious differences between the two.
One's Canadian, the other one's not. But if you just

(01:48):
look at their playing style, there is you know, there's
some similarities between him and Yao Ming. And you watched
him and he did what He didn't have a field
goal attempt the last nine minutes of the game, didn't
score point the last twelve a minute to the game,
like that was a clear win by a sixteen seed
over a one seed, and it was the second time
we've seen it. Obviously, everybody remembers Virginia a few years back,

(02:11):
but that was a clear win a sixteen over a one.
And when that happens, it just confirms everything I feel
about the NCAA tournament. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more.
It's the most difficult tournament in all of sports, the
most difficult championship path in all of sports. Where's the advantage? Like,

(02:35):
find me the advantage that Purdue had as a one
seed over a sixteen seed in that game last night.
Find me an advantage home court? Not really? These are
neutral sites, yeah, but they're in their own backyard. Okay, cool,
I got news for you. My neighbor's fence is right
next to mine. You could not pick a different environment

(03:00):
to hang out in theirs as opposed to mine. And
all it is is some crummy little townhouse fans separating
the two of us. So I don't want to hear
anything about well, home court advantage not really that it's
just not but Houston, Mike, if they go to the
final four. Houston might play in Houston, yippee. Are they
going to have their own fans there and nothing else? No,

(03:22):
there's gonna be opposing fans there. So you don't really
have home court advantage as a higher seed. What do
you got. You're playing a team that you probably haven't
really had all that much time to plan for, and
then when you're in the midst of the tournament, you
got to decide who you're prepping for, one team or
the other, and then the turnaround in a lot of

(03:43):
these matchups, especially the first two weekends, is what less
than forty eight hours, So there's no real advantage to
being a top seed. So when I see something like
what happened last night, where you get a sixteen seed
beat in a one seed and it's only the second
time we've just watched the game, it was obvious the

(04:06):
better team won last night. And I'm not saying the
Fairleigh Dickinson is better than Purdue, but you don't have
to be better to advance in the tournament. You just
got to play better for a short amount of time,
and that's exactly what happened. So when you watch these upsets,
you see Virginia lose, you know, to Andy Furman, Virginia

(04:28):
loses to a thirteen seed. You see all these other
matchups and all these other it's a crapshoot. Why do
you think so many of us rip up our brackets?
Like everybody tries to be an expert. I gave up
on the whole researching and looking at matchups and breaking
down X's nose years ago. It's a waste of time

(04:50):
because you have one bad stretch of basketball and somebody's
going home and next thing you know, you feel like
a horse's ass because you've got to go tear up
your bracket and tell your family, Hey, just you know,
we can't pay the bills this month because daddy thought
that he had a winner and he picked Arizona to
go to the final four. So have fun with that.
It's lower seed beating the top seed. I'm surprised it

(05:12):
doesn't happen more often. But that's why the tournament's fun,
because nobody knows what the hell's going on, what's going
to happen. We all sit back, and then we all
get frustrated, and upon further review, realize nobody's an expert
at this whole thing. So we're kind of all on
the same page. Jonahs knocks Fox Sports Radio. All right,
so let me let me just get into this NFL story.

(05:33):
So you got Demorris Smith. You know who's in charge,
you know, NFLPA boss, Demorris Smith. So he comes out
and he's talking like he airs out the owners, you know,
like he I mean, he just he's he's letting him
have it about the Lamar Jackson situation. You know, he's

(05:54):
talking about how Baltimore is not giving him a guaranteed contract.
He's talking about what a grace it is the fact
that we've only seen two guaranteed contracts handed out to
players like Kirk Cousins and to Shaun Watson, and talking about,
you know, the collusion going on. He doesn't even like
the draft process. He doesn't like And so Demorris Smith

(06:16):
has been the guy that's been helping Lamar Jackson try
and get this contract done, this guaranteed deal that Lamar
Jackson has to get done fully guaranteed. And Demorris Smith
has got your back and he's speaking out publicly and
he's ripping the owners apart about how they're handling this
whole thing and about how unfair they've been to players.
That's the guy in your corner, de Morris Smith. And

(06:40):
it got me to thinking, if I was looking to
get dental advice, if I had a problem and I
was really insecure about it, you know who, I wouldn't
take advice from somebody on crystal meth. And you want

(07:00):
to know why, because that drug rots your teeth, and
if you're addicted to it, chances are your teeth are rotted.
But just imagine that, for example, it's in your head.
You got this dental problem, it's causing you issues. You're
stressed out, you're afraid to take pictures, you're really insecure

(07:23):
about it. And then out of nowhere, some guy on
a street corner with a mouthful of wood chips walks
up to you and says, let me help you with
your smile. No, I'm good here. Why would I take
advice from you? Honest to god, Like, why would I
take advice from some guy who looks like he confused

(07:47):
his toothbrush with a pipe bomb one morning and now
he's in public trying to give me advice on how
I should smile. Because that's basically what's happening here. Demorris Smith,
the guy responsible for losing every single CBA negotiation for
the players, is now speaking out in defense of the

(08:08):
guy who's trying to get a guaranteed contract. Ask any
player who's not in the league anymore who's no longer
a part of the NFLPA their thoughts on how Demorris
Smith handles negotiations when it comes to trying to get
the collective bargaining agreements done. This was a guy who

(08:34):
years ago talked about how they were willing to go
to the end to try and get the best deal
for the players. They were willing to fight tooth and
nail if it meant not playing games and holding out
or whatever they wanted in need to do to try
and get a deal done that was going to benefit
the players. Demorris Smith was all about it. He made

(08:55):
the rounds years in advance. Everybody said, Billiot moved by
Demorris Smith, years in advance of when the CBA is
coming up and they need to negotiate. He's already planting
seeds letting everybody know it's not happening this time. The
owners aren't getting one up on us. We're gonna get
everything we asked for when it comes to the players,

(09:17):
I will see to it that we get everything we
ask for. And then a couple of years later, they
agreed to a new tenure deal that everybody ripped apart
just a couple of years later. But don't worry about it.
He's gonna hold his ground. So it's funny that that
guy who was leading the charge to the new movement

(09:38):
and a new era in football is the same guy
criticizing the owners for their handlings of Lamar Jackson's contract,
and he's the one giving advice to Lamar Jackson. If
I were Lamar Jackson, you know who I'd seek advice from.
Whoever negotiated the deals for Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott

(09:58):
because of both the those guys got one up on
their team and the owner, Ezekiel Elliott held out in
Cabbo at some place called Mango Deck. I never heard
of it before until Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington filled
me in on it, and then I google searched some
pictures and realized, yeah, I'd probably hang out there too.

(10:19):
I mean, I wouldn't have a family to come home to,
but I'd probably hang out there too. That's where he
held out and got every penny and was never the
same player, and they just released him a few days ago.
Dak Prescott kept holding out, wanted a new deal, switched agencies,
kept holding out, holding his ground. Jerry Jones hinted it

(10:43):
stuff publicly. Stephen Jones hinted it stuff publicly, signed a
franchise tag and then snapped his leg part way through
the season. And not only did Dak Prescott get everything
he wanted, he got more with a broken leg. Those
are the two guys. If I were Lamar Jackson or

(11:03):
I was a player trying to get a guaranteed deal
or a better contract, I'd pulled those two guys aside
and say, how'd you do it? Jerry Jones one of
the great businessmen that we've ever known or seen. How
did you guys get one up on him? Both of
you guys in a pretty close proximity to each other,
how'd you do it? I'm not getting advice from to

(11:23):
Morris Smith. Guys lost every deal. That's the last person
I get advice from. So if anybody out there's complaining
about the state of the Lamar Jackson contract, you can
rip the Baltimore Ravens. All you want, you could talk
about collusion, how the Ravens have wronged Lamar Jackson even
though they're the team that traded up to draft him

(11:46):
and they're the team that basically turned the fortunes of
the franchise over. They're the team that has offered him
guaranteed money but he didn't want to. So if you
guys want to fall into that bogus, boring, tired, typical,
lazy narrative, have right at it. But consider the source
and the negotiations and the people complaining about it before

(12:06):
you start ripping apart the Baltimore Ravens and how other
contracts have been done. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio give
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the Jonas
Knox on Twitter, and you can hang out with us
as always on the iHeartRadio app. So we are going
to have the usuals coming up later on. We got
another edition of do You Care? We've got the scraps,
and we got the same grab ass for two hours

(12:27):
here until four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific, but
coming up next here from the Tirak dot com studios.
It is so obvious and so blatant What is happening
to one player in the NFL. I'll tell you who
that is right here. Fox Sports Radio put me in.
I'm hot Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. So coming up

(12:47):
in we'll call it about ten minutes from now. There
is a situation that took place yesterday that need to
definitely get to the bottom of a little acted here
because I just heard one of the worst songs ever
played on these airwaves just a second ago. Was that
puddle music? Was that puddle of mud? No? It wasn't, Okay, wasn't.

(13:13):
It was a one hit wonder from way back in
the day. Who's the band? For people on the podcast?
They want to know what the song was for people?
I think they're called the xis over them? Just an
atrocious Yeah, okay, all right, good sure good in quotation
yeah sure. So So there's that. So again, a little
over ten minutes from now, a situation that took place,

(13:34):
and we're going to get to the bottom of it.
We're going to find out who was in the wrong
in a very situation I think a lot of people
could relate to. So we'll get into that. Um, there's
it's pretty obvious, what's happening if you're paying close enough
attention to one of the big stories in the NFL,
pretty obvious what's happening. Okay, So the big story in

(13:55):
the NFL is the Aaron Rodgers stuff with the New
York Jets and the Packers. And he goes on Pat
McAfee show starring AJ Hawk, and he's talking about, you know,
just the situation as a whole and how he'd like
to get to the Jets. But there's a compensation disagreement
currently going on between the two sides, and there's been

(14:16):
some reports that the Jets aren't looking to unload a
first round pick, which is hilarious. The one team that
could butcher this whole thing in the NFL, if I
would say, all right, give me three guesses, who's the
one team that could butcher this deal? At the very end,
before I finished asking the question, everybody would Yellow Jets

(14:40):
like Fireman ed would do the Jets chant before I
finished the question. So, the fact that we're at this
point to where Rogers wants to go, you sold him
on it. You're signing players from the Packers. The Packers
don't want him anymore. He knows that he crawled out
of a golpher hole and found out that the team

(15:01):
that he played the last twenty years for no longer
wants him to play play there. They want to go
in the direction of Jordan Love. He's fine with it.
This isn't emotional. We know what's going to happen, so
let's get it done. And the Jets are kind of
haggling and all the other things that go along with it.
But what's so funny about this is the coverage because
it's so painfully obvious how disliked Aaron Rodgers is by

(15:26):
the media. It's so obvious, like Aaron Rodgers is talking
about the situation, and you got people in the media
mocking him while he talks about the situation. Well, he's
arrogant and dah. You know, he's full of himself and
he's aloof and he's this and he's that. You know

(15:50):
how many you could say that about so many players,
professional athletes, politicians, famous people. Did you watch the oscars?
I tuned in for about fourteen seconds. I heard part
of one speech and said, I can't do this. These
people are so full of crap. I can't do this.
They're so full of crap and so full of themselves,

(16:14):
like it's this grandstanding. It's everywhere you look. Have you
been on Instagram lately? What about take talk or whatever
it's called, face and a log. Log into your snap
face coach, and check out what you see. People with
fake music videos, staged pranks, you know, staged fights, all

(16:38):
the other things that go like lying to you, Like
every it's everybody's highlight video. That's all it is. There's
arrogance and aloofness everywhere you look. But Rogers, Aaron Rodgers
does it, and now we got a problem with it. Wow,
we don't like the way he's doing it. No, no, no,
we don't. And Aaron Rodgers taking shots at the media. Oh,

(17:00):
god forbid the guy who's had to hear about everything
from immunization to the darkness retreat to his own family dynamic.
God forbid he bites back at the media a little bit.
I know what a jay off Aaron Rodgers is for
biting back at the media, the same media who thought

(17:22):
it was appropriate to cover the guy's family dynamic, the
relationship between his parents and his brother. Whose business is
that not ours? I mean, are we really going to
knock on the door of everybody's family dynamic. Do you
really want to have those conversations? Have everybody take a
look inside the family dynamic of all of it. Do

(17:43):
we really want to have those discussions? All right? Like
we really want to go down that road. But we're
Aaron Rodgers. We can do it. But when he decides
he wants to control his messaging and tell his side
of the story in his own words, we got a
problem with it. Look, a lot of this goes back
to the immunization stuff. All right. Look, that's where a

(18:07):
lot of this comes from. And it's not the fact
that Rogers wasn't vaccinated as much as it was he
got one over on the media. Like me personally, I
don't give a crap if you're vaccinated, never have, don't care.
The fact of the matter is Rogers got one over

(18:29):
on the media, and they found out after the fact
that they didn't do a good enough job. Otherwise they
would have spotted that he never said he wasn't vaccinated.
He used the word immunized. He danced around it, pulled
him matrix, played limbo with everybody and walked out the

(18:49):
other side. And then afterwards everybody was up in arms
about it. Oh my god, it's rock close and he's
a liar. No, he's not. He played your game and
he beat you at it. That's why you're pissed. And
they've never let it down since You've had people voters
for the MVP come out and say I won't vote

(19:13):
for him. Why do you think that was even though
he still won. Why do you think that was because
people got a problem with him. So now he goes
on another show, does an interview, talks about the situation
in Green Bay, and still the coverage of it was nauseating.

(19:35):
Nauseating and also comical at the same time, because I
knew what was going to happen. I knew that's how
that was going to get discussed. It's pretty funny when
you've got people complaining about how things are going in
an interview. While watching an interview, almost a half million

(19:55):
people tuned in to watch Aaron Rodgers talk about the
situation between Green Bay and the Jets. And he was
thoughtful about it, and he was honest about it, and
it made a lot of sense. But nah, now, now
God forbid. And then then when the story comes out
that he wants to play with certain players with the Jets,
you got people saying, well, who does he think he

(20:17):
is Brady? He thinks he's Tom Brady or something? Well,
what about like Peyton Manning? And what about like other
players who would like to team up and play with?
What about Davanta Adams? Davanta Adams wanted to play with
Derek Carr? What about that? Did he get criticized? Was
he arrogant? Was he aloof because he wanted to play

(20:37):
with certain players? Are you aloof if you decide to
work at a place because you like the people around you,
or you decide to bring in somebody that you happen
to work with or know from before. I guess you
must be aloof too. How dare you be arrogant wanting
to surround yourself with people you like? God? You know
what you should do? Surround yourself with more people you
don't like. That seems like a good time, you know,

(20:57):
it's the weekend. Happy Saturday, everybody? Hey, where are you
going to hang out with a bunch of people? I
got nothing in common with that? I can't stand w Well,
at least you're not arrogant? Solves the problem? Right? None
of it makes sense unless you just want to be
truthful about it and say Aaron Rodgers gets covered differently
because you don't like him. Just say you don't like him.

(21:19):
That's it. Just say you don't like the guy. And
the more you don't like him, the more I do
like him. I think it's hilarious. I think it's funny
how everybody's bothered by every move he makes yet cannot
stop watching the entire thing. It's been funny throughout it
got even more comical this week. And I promise you

(21:42):
the coverage of him when he does get to the
Jets and in New York is going to be even
worse than we've seen it now. I can promise you that.
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knox on Twitter, and
you can hang out with us as always on the
iHeartRadio app. A. Right, So we're gonna coming up. We're
going to have a discussion about something that went on
yesterday that I think you can relate to. So we'll

(22:03):
get into that for you here, But for all the
latest from around the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen.
Brian Finley both a picture and a hitcher, A hitter
that is so unfair, Finly, why did they do you
like that? That's unfair? Well, I was wondering why you
didn't intro me with some name of an old tennis stone. Way.
The way you behaved when I saw you bothered me. No,

(22:25):
the way you behave I walk in, I see Big
Mike Lynn Guard, who I've known for over a decade
here at Fox Sports Radio since I started here. Happy
to see him. He seemed like he was happy to
see me. I see Brian Finley and he looks at
me and he says, and I, Okay, I guess I
guess you not friends. No, I literally thought that you
were ignoring me like you saw Mike. And then he

(22:47):
went by me, and then I'm like, okay, all right,
I guess that's how it is. Well, if that's the case,
and I apologize, Finley. No, not picture and a hitch.
Why why did they do it that? Fa? I don't know.
I mean, I know you guys were taking you and
Petros were taking shots of you earlier than Not true. Yeah,
I heard about that. The word came to me. Yeah,

(23:08):
not true. That is I got audio evidence of this.
Who told you that? You know listeners calling? Did Colin
you try and start. It wasn't calling you, it was
one of the listeners. Yes, well listen when they brought
your name up, I said, oh, you talking about the
Matts Wilander of sports talk radio. Did I pronounce that correct? No?

(23:31):
You said that I was the clown that drives the
ice cream truck. So did not say any Yeah, I
mean I've got evidence. And by the way, I'm a
big fan of ice cream trucks. I wish they were
around more. I don't know why they're not around more.
Did COVID kill ice cream trucks? I don't know, but
I always thought you were a fan of the music
that plays from the ice cream truck. Great. I think
they're fun for everybody, and let's go live to our

nine hours a day, over and over on loose. No. Man,
I worked in Chuck E Cheese. You would go crazy

WWF ice cream bars. Those are phenomenal back in the day. Pushpops.
Always love pushpops. Those pops go push pops. Um yeah,
big fan, Like, what was your favorite item on the
ice cream truck family? Well, you know, I was actually
gonna say, I'm surprised that you eat. And yeah, you're

(24:57):
eat any of that considering that you're always trying to
keep an eye on your frame and your physique. And
I don't even think you've ever had any of those? Yes,

These updates I do. They never get derailed or anything.
You know, we never go anywhere else and just talk
about the sport. It's it's it's something that button up. Yeah,
everybody button. So we do have one NCAA Tournament second
round game that wrapped up number five. San Diego State

five to fifty two. That's a final score there. So
ont of the Sweet sixteen are the Aztecs. The next

will be watching that game. Kansas head coach Bill Self

game against Arkansas. He rehabs from an operation last week
to alleviate blocked arteries. Amp he was noticing some chess
pain assistant Norm Roberts who'll sub into head coach in
this game. Stadium reports that Houston star Marcus Sasser, who's
been nursing a groin injury, is expected to get his
normal allotment of playing time today against Auburn. Western Kentucky

Christie Steve Lutz as its next head coach, and we
do lastly, Jonas have one NBA game and that's where
you go. Right now. Jalen Brunson has missed part of
five out of the last six games with a sore foot,
and right now he is showing out eighteen points for him,
but the Knicks are getting crushed by the Nugget eighty

(27:52):
seven to seventy three with about halfway through the third quarter.
Did I read that update slow or was that just
somebody else saying that jobs back to you, not me.
I wouldn't say that Finley's pissed today. I don't want
to mess with Finley, not deal with that. Everybody got
to pay this year, so we clear. I'm gonna have
a Wilson racket to the back of the head and
the way out. Two guys is enough for me. I

(28:13):
have that a little bit of branding. Wilson racket there.
I know what I'm talking about, Finley. I'm so surprised, Jonas.
You're showing off, all right, So I got to ask
you as a question. It is Jonas knocks here Fox
Sports Radio, by the way, brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

(28:33):
of dou Care coming up here shortly. That's always a fun,
fun time and a fun ride. So we'll get to
that here. We'll call it less than ten minutes from now.
I got to ask you as a question because I
need to know who's the a hole. Is it me
or is it the other guy? And this I feel
like this is something that people listening can relate to.

(28:54):
You've probably been you know, you know the situation. I
don't think you dealt with what I had to deal with.
So I go the supermarket yesterday and my wife wanted
me to get like some sort of a dip. But
the dip is behind the deli counter. Sow. It's how
it is, is like you you they scoop the dip
out into little balls and they have it on a

(29:14):
piece of paper, and then you scoop them out and
you put them in a dish and you take them home,
and you know, if you get two of them, it's
like a half pound fours like whatever the case may be.
But when you go to a deli counter, they have
utensils that scoop like whether be macaroni salad or potato
salad or whatever you're getting like like normal. It's what

(29:35):
you do at supermarkets. Everybody's seen the wrestler. That's what
Mickey Rourke did. You know in between wrestling gigs. You know,
he's working behind the delli counter. So I go to
the deli counter at a store nearby yesterday and I
wanted to get this dip and it's like I've gotten
it many times before, very good, no issues. And the

(29:55):
guy puts on a glove, takes a container and uses
his hand to scoop the dip up and put it
in a container. And I'm watching him and just to
state of shock, and I say to the guy, I'm like,
using your hand to do that? He goes, oh yeah,

(30:17):
I'm like, you don't use like a spoon or like
to like scoop the stuff out and put it in
the container. You're using like your hand. Well I have
a glove on it, Like yeah, no, but you're yeah,
I've just never seen that before. I don't know, like
I didn't know we used hands to like scoop stuff out.
And keep in mind, I'm not one of these people

(30:37):
that's still walking around with a mask on. You know,
there are those people that you see him all the time.
I'm not paranoid about this stuff. I'm not. I'm not
super paranoid about germs. You know, I'll clean up the
studio in here. But because that's because radio studios are filthy.
Asking anybody's ever worked in a radio studio, I mean,
it's it's revolting, but like, I'm watching this guy. I
was like, Hey, what would you mind? Um could did

(31:00):
you want me to use a spoon? I was like, yeah, yeah,
preferably like you know, just not like your hands. He said, oh, yeah,
no problem. So he takes the spoon and starts doing
it and puts it in the same container he used
his hand to pick up the other stuff in. I said,
I was like, hey, can I can I get it
like in a fresh container spooned in? And his co
workers there and he doesn't even want to get into

(31:21):
the conversation because I think he's so embarrassed about what
his co workers doing using his hands to scoop up
an item behind the deli counter. And the guy just
gave me this weird look and I walked away, and
I'm really I'm puzzled because I don't know who's the
a hole. Is it me for asking the guy not
to use his hands to pick up the dip that

(31:44):
I was buying behind the delly counter or is it
this guy? So I got to ask, Iowa, Sam, who's
the a hole? Is it me or is it the
guy behind the counter. I'd have to say it's you,
really yes, because the guy's wearing a glove. It was
the dip, like really like liquidity and wet. Yes, okay,
well then that's a little weird. It's a dip. It's
a dip. He used his hand, it was he was

(32:06):
It was so bad that it was like going through
his fingers and he was having to scrape his fingers
off the top of the dish to get it in.
That's a little unsightly. Yes, I think when when you
said can I have a new container? I think it
kind of pushed you push the arrow or towards your
side of being the a hole? All right, bursh who's
the a hole? Me or this guy? I'm on your
side with that one. Come on, dude, Brian Finley, who's

(32:30):
the a hole? Here? Jonas? It's you. You remind me
the guy just saw before coming into the up Fur
Studios who parked his car in a parking lot of
a supermarket and then finished using his pull cart and
then just left it in the middle of the parking lot. Well, okay,
that's a completely different story. This guy was scraping dip
off his fingers to put into the dish that he

(32:51):
was serving me up. When's the last time you got
bad when's the last time you went to a store
got a macaroni salad and they used their hands to
pick it up? I haven't seen it. What are we
doing here? I will it's a little I will say this, Jonas,
I used to work at a subway slash cold Stone
um and where on one side you've used on subway
you use your hands with gloves to assemble the sandwich.

(33:14):
But at cold Stone we're not. We're not putting gloves
on and grabbing the ice cream containers and then mixing
it up exactly like Also that subway they use the
scoop for the tuna. The tuna salad, they use a scoop. Yes,
they don't use their hands. Imagine using your hands to
pick up the tuna Salada's kind I kind of see
your point. All right, So it's a two one or
two one. The other guy, I don't know, I'm under sad.

(33:34):
All right. Well, listen that that concludes our debut edition
of Who's the A Hole? So maybe we'll make that
a fun topic discussion here on the show. All Right,
it's coming up next here from the tirak dot com studios.
It is another edition of do You Care? We're gonna
tell you the truth about major stories in the world
of sports and beyond that. You've been force fed all
week and it's right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey,

(33:55):
I'm Doug gottlie The podcast is called All Ball. Well
usually talk all basket ball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories. You download it, you listen to it. I
think you'll like it. Listen to All Ball with Doug

(34:17):
Gotlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or ever you
get your podcast. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can
listen to this show as always on the iHeartRadio app.
So coming up and we'll call it a little over
ten minutes right now, I've got the Ultimate Plan B
for you from the Tiretrack dot Com Studios, the Ultimate
Plan B. There's a lot of you who are feeling

(34:38):
the pain of what has happened the past couple of
days in the NCAA Tournament. I've got just a solution
for you. We'll get into that for you a little
over ten minutes from now, but right now, it is
time for something we do every single week at this time,
and it's called this. There are so many stories in
the world of sports, and most of them are a
complete waste of time. DMCR reports, let's kinky, here's some

(35:01):
of the big stories from the last week. But Jonas,
the real question is do you care? And for that
we turn it over to our executive producer Ryan Burschinger
to find out what the hell people have been talking about.
Bursch Well, the Lakers lost on a buzzer beater last
night's and the Mavericks, despite leading by four with ten
seconds left and Anthony Davis struggled there in the final minute. Jonas,

(35:22):
do you care? Now? I don't give I can't even like, like,
what what seed are they in the West? Right now?
Let me just double check that real quick. I've been
so inundated with other topics that I actually give a
crap about that. I haven't bothered to take. Oh, there
the ten seed, Okay, just making sure they're Oh, so
they're they're almost out of the play and tournament. Okay.
It's weird. I noticed things had quieted down when it
comes to Laker coverage in this town. I wonder why

(35:43):
that was. Next, well, the Mets lost Edwin Diaz for
the season after he was injured celebrating at the World
Baseball Classic. Jonas, do you care, Yeah, Here's here's what
I'll say. The World Baseball Classic is kind of fun
if you just watch the event, the games itself, it
is kind of fun. But people that were blaming the

(36:05):
World Baseball Classic on Edwin Diaz suffering the injury, Dude,
he was jumping up and down, all right. It's it's
not like, you know, he was throwing off the mound
and his and his knee buckled and and that's how this.
It's not like they're doing different different things at the
World Baseball Classic, like you know, the basses are back
to the small side or that, and he slid into

(36:26):
first base because they made him, you know, swing a bat.
He was jumping up and down. Like that's just bad luck.
That didn't have anything to do with the World Baseball Classic.
That's bad luck and kind of part for the course.
When it comes to the New York match, next, Aaron
Rodgers told Adam Schefter to lose his number. Jonas, do
you care, Yeah, this is fantastic. It's it's great, just

(36:48):
you know, lose my number. Nice try though, it's that's
fun and didn't even know where he got the number from.
I look, I don't know. All respect to Adam Schefter
and people who've got to do that job to try
and get stories and news and stuff like I remember
talking to Chris Brussard about it one time, and Brussard
had to do that. And part of the reason why
Broussard loves Fox Sports Radio and being at Fox is

(37:10):
because he doesn't have to do that anymore. He's not
having a chase sources and leads and all that stuff.
It's it's a it's not a fun gig. I wouldn't
enjoy it. It's probably very frustrating for those guys, but
it is pretty funny to see that Rogers responded that way. Next,
Michael Jordan is in talks to sell his stake in
the Charlotte Hornets. Jonas, do you care? No, I don't,

(37:31):
just this, it doesn't interest me. Look, Michael Jordan's got
enough going on. I mean we were talking yesterday just
on profit alone, on what he makes from Jordan's he
makes like two hundred and sixty million dollars a year
just his cut on Jordan's selling shoes two hundred and
sixty million dollars a year. Why the hell would you

(37:52):
want to own the Charlotte Bobcats slash hornets? Are you?
Are you out of your mind? That's the last thing
I'd want to do. Next well, Virginia suffered another first
round upset after losing to the thirteenth seeded Ferman Baladin's
jonas do you care? Yeah? I do? I love it
because I had Virginia going to the next round. I
had Virginia beating Alabama. And of course, of course Virginia

(38:14):
does it again. They just they figure out a way
to just come up short all the time. It just now,
the fact that it was to Andy Furman, I like,
that's acceptable. Like the fact that Andy Furman did play
off the upset, I'll take that. But the fact that
it's Virginia and I had them advancing and beating Alabama's disgusting.
Next last one here, Kendall Jenner's new boyfriend Bad Bunny

(38:37):
took a shot at her rex Devin Booker in a
new song, and Booker responded to the diss on Instagram jonas,
do you care? Yeah? Kind of? Actually, here's why I
love it. I love it. If you if you're bad buddy, Like,
have you do you understand what family you're currently dating? Like?

(38:57):
Do you understand where you're at? Do you really think
this is a long term play? And the fact that
you're this early into the relationship and you're already doing
a song about the X might be a little bit
of a problem. You know. It's like people that tell
you I'm really over my X and you walk into
their room and in lipstick they have f that guy.

(39:18):
I mean, Iowa, Sam's X did that all the time.

(39:38):

way tire buying should be. So, there's a lot of

(40:20):
people out there, and if you are one of these people,
do not feel alone. That's many of us, a lot
of people out there who after about the first day, realized,
oh you mean when I was filling out my bracket,
I just wasted my time. Oh okay, that's cool. And
if you're in one of those leagues where they charge
buy in and whoever wins, you know, gets the money

(40:42):
afterwards and all that other fun stuff, and you lost
your money, you know, my apologies. There's a lot of
us to feel the exact same way, all right. It happens.
Happens to the best of us, all right, even to
the worst of us. But a lot of us are
feeling that pain. There's a lot of people who had
perdue going pretty far in the tournament. I didn't. I
didn't necessarily by Purdue is a legitimate title contender. But
there's a lot of people that had Purdue going pretty

(41:04):
far and well, you lost. There's a lot of people
that had Virginia going kind of far. I think I
was one of them. I had Virginia beating Alabama and
coming up in that bracket and that side of the bracket,
that region, and they lost. So there's a lot of
us that are feeling the feeling the pain. I had
Arizona my final four. Some people had Arizona winning at all.
They lost. I reach out to Arnie Spanier, who's mister

(41:27):
Arizona Wildcat himself. I asked him what the hell and
arne Arnie responded with one middle finger emoji. I told him, hey,
I had your team going to the final four, and
he responded with two middle finger emojis. So that is
the conversation I had with Arnie Spier, and I can
confirm that I have evidence of that, and I have proof.
So a lot of us are feeling this pain. But

(41:49):
I do have the ultimate solution for you. The plan
b right, because I'm not one of these guys that's
just going to sit up here and complain about all
these topics and complain about all these situations. We've got
plan bs solutions, and the solution if your bracket is
busted is real easy gambling. Now. I know, it seems

(42:14):
kind of like we're doubling up here because you already
gambled on the entire brackets, So why would you want
to go back to the well if it didn't turn
out well? But here's the reason why you gamble, because
it keeps you alive. It keeps you in the game.
You're able to tread water at least you can sink,
or you can grab a life raft. When it comes

(42:37):
to the NCAA tournament, you got options. You don't have
to just go down with the boat and have to
deal with all the other craft that comes along with
losing the NCAA Tournament bracket pool and have to getting it.
You know, it's rubbed in your face by your buddies.
Start gambling, because all of a sudden, if you realize
I had Purdue to win it all, you can go

(42:59):
ahead and just start gambling on the rest of these
games and make back some of that money. You have
options here. There are solutions. Everybody tears up their bracket.
That's fine, you could tear it up. But if I were,
you start looking at all these other games, all these
other opportunities, these options you have at your disposal that
you can go to. Like look at the duke in Tennessee.

(43:19):
You're playing right now. Duke's got a three point lead.
You're probably thinking to yourself in the old days, oh well,
I mean, I can't get a betted now. It's already
too late, my ass. Start live betting. There's something for everybody.
That's why gambling is so fun. I'm not trying to
sit here and give you some sort of a commercial
for gambling, but that's why it's fun. It gives you

(43:41):
the ability to change things up. It's the ultimate condiment.
You go to a place the food sucks, how can
you improve it? A little bit of salt, maybe some pepper,
maybe some catchup. If you're a fan of mayo, throw
that on there. There's syrup, there's mustard. There's a reason

(44:04):
all those little caddies, those little those little things are
on the table. Trust me, I used to have to
work at TGI Fridays. I can still set a table.
I remembered everything that needed to be there. You work
at a breakfast spot. Why do they have multiple different
flavors of syrup at a breakfast spot? Because they're given
the options. That's what the gambling world's doing to you.

(44:24):
They're telling you, Hey, does your brackets suck? Here's some options.
Oh would you like the strawberry syrup on Duke in Tennessee?
Go right ahead, no problem, I mean, oh, you mean
you still have Houston and Alabama going somewhat far, but
you don't have them going all the way. You got
some other team that already. Oh, don't worry. Here's a

(44:46):
little side of pepper, side of salt. It's there for you.
It's there for the taking. Start gambling, and you'll forget
all about how crummy your bracket was. That's the ultimate
plan B. Jonas Knox here, Fox Sports Radio. Here's another
plan B. And seeing this thrown around, so, Odell Beckham
Junior had this big tryout for teams, and he was

(45:07):
working out last week and one of the stories that
came out is that Odell Beckham Junior once somewhere in
the neighborhood of twenty million dollars when he decides to
come back. So that's that's where we're at. Odell Beckham
Junior wants somewhere around twenty million dollars when he returns

(45:31):
and would like to go ahead and partake in the
upcoming NFL season on twenty million dollars. That was the report.
So Odell Beckham Junior takes to Twitter, which is always
the best place to do this stuff, and said, quote,
I'm just so confused where the quote is from me
saying that I said I want twenty million dollars. All

(45:52):
I'm saying is at four million eight enough, Okay, so
we'll split the difference. What about twelve million? It's twelve
million enough? In fact, what about something in the range
of what Juju Smith Schuster got. Because if I were
Odell Beckham Junior, I'm hearing all these talks about teams

(46:12):
on the list and everything. The reason why they're not
a lot of offers for OBJ is because nobody knows
a if he can stay healthy and be whether or
not he's the same player he was. I mean, he
hasn't finished a season in a little bit of time.
It's been a few years since Odell Beckham Junior has
had a legitimate top tier wide receiver season and now

(46:34):
he's in his thirties and the market is speaking. So
if you're Odell Beckham Junior and you're looking around at
a possible landing spot and you realize, I got to
take a prove it deal if I want to give
if I want another shot at a bigger contract, why
the hell would you not do what Juju Smith Schuster
did and go to Kansas City for one year? Why not?

(46:57):
Kansas City could become the old get right place, or
you want to get right when it comes to the market,
you want to prove you can still go go to
Kansas City. That's what I would do. First of all,
if I were half the receiver of Odell Beckham Junior
and I had my options, I'd even take a paycut
and go to Kansas City. If it's all about proving

(47:19):
your worth, why would you not want to go there.
Maybe you don't have as many catches or as many
targets as you would if you were number one elsewhere
because Travis Kelsey's there and they're drafting players and all that.
But if the Kansas City chiefs called Odell Beckham Junior
and said, hey, Obj, we'll give you eight to ten
million dollars on a one year prove a deal similar

(47:40):
to what we gave Juju smith Schuster. Juju Smith Schuster
went out and got a three year deal from the Patriots.
I'm not saying he broke the bank, but if Odell
Beckham Junior, based on his history and his reputation, does
what Juju did last year, plays well in the playoffs,

(48:02):
stays off, TikTok. You don't think somebody's going to give
him a multi year deal next season. That seems like
it's the play for OBJ, but it remains to be
seen whether or not he's up for it. Jonas knocks
here Fox Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter at the
Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. That's an
important place to go because a lot of positive feedback
so far on the show, really positive feedback, many people

(48:23):
chiming in, big fans of the program. Thus far Bryan
writes in needle d Jonas keep bleeping it to your
boy toy Aaron Rodgers in his bleep ass Jets gear
as he fails like his fellow bleep Brett Farve, and

(48:44):
keep fantasizing about a three way with bleep pat McAfee.
He said that Paul writes in your bleep pasty ass
should be grateful you got any dip at the counter.
You dip, bleep, hopefully the dip had some extra fluids

(49:09):
you can munch on, you ask, bleep, d wad you
a little jerk. So good to hear from fans of
the show, Brian and also Jason, who chimed in, or
excuse me, Paul, Jason actually supported me. Paul was the
other guy with a lot of negative stuff to say.

(49:29):
So again at the jonahs socks on Twitter, and we
are getting some feedback on the Who's the ahole segment?
Is it me for asking for a new container and
the guy at the Delhi counter to use a spoon
or is it the guy at the deli counter who
initially used his hands to scoop up the dip and
put it in a container and give it to me.
So a little bit of some feedback on that, but

(49:50):
it feels like it's about sixty forty in favor of me,
that that I'm not the a hole, that the other
guy is literally behind the deli counter using his hands
to scoop up dip to put in and then looked
at me like I was crazy because I asked him
to use a spoon. Look at those hands. Should have
seen him like scraping his fingers off on the edge

(50:13):
of the dish to get the last remaining pieces in.
It's a mess that some disgusting thing. And somebody asked, well,
did you buy the dip? Yes, it's good. What do
you want? We did not eat it. I was hungry,
all right. From the tirerac dot com studios. Coming up
next here on Fox Sports Radio, somebody said something about

(50:35):
the current state of their organization that is absolute truth,
despite what many in the fan base want to believe.
For the upcoming season, we'll get into that for you
right here at FSR, Jonahs knocks Fox Sports Radio from
the tireract dot Com studios. What song is this? Sam?

(50:57):
Why are you doing this? I was trying to keep
it top. It's too many hands by the Eagles. What
does that have to do with anything? I don't know.
Hands going in your dip? Oh my god, too many
hands in your dip? Why don't you should? You should
play this anytime during a Deshaun Watson highlight next year's
brilliant You see see who gets offended by that you

(51:20):
know they have to go back and I'm just saying,
it'sam the song. What are you? You know? You know
Deshaun Watson, that guy's the comp for why Lamar Jackson
deserves a guarantee deal because Deshaun Watson got one. No,
the conversation should be why did he get one? I
literally had like, I mean, how but sixty seventy eighty

(51:45):
different massage therapists like but but for some reason, like
all of a sudden. It is funny though, by the
way Jonah knocks Fox Sports Radio. It is funny though,
how Jimmy Haslam has now become the guy that people
look at it is doing it right. You know, he
did it. He did He did it right by the
player because of what he did. You never like Jimmy

(52:07):
haslm's like that, that's who you want to play for.
A guy like Jimmy has them really like, isn't he
the same guy they gave Hugh Jackson a contract extension
after he went one and thirty one and two years,
like it, isn't that the same guy? Isn't he also
the same guy that gave Deshaun Watson two hundred and

(52:28):
thirty million dollars after it was clear and obvious, so
much so that he was suspended for it, and a
lot of people thought his career was in jeopardy. He
gave the guy who's got an addiction to grab labs
two hundred thirty million dollars guaranteed. But that's the one
that Demorris Smith looks at and says, well, yeah, at

(52:50):
least he's doing it right. Okay. And if you want
to do some some digging into Jimmy Haslum's background, some
of his business transactions, you know, go ahead look into that.
You know, flying v things like that. Just go ahead,
take a look, take a look, sink I'm crazy, go
ahead and take a look at some of that stuff.
So it is funny how that works, all right. By
the way, I gotta ask you a question though, speaking

(53:11):
of money, are you still over paying for a razor
in this economy? Gross? With Dollar Shave Club, you can
get a top shelf shave at a regular shelf price.
Dollar Shave Club is available at a store near you
and the men's razor aisle. That's it. That's the ad.
So there's a team in the NFL that looks like

(53:32):
they're probably gonna struggle. Okay, they're probably gonna struggle this
upcoming season. That team is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now
they've signed Baker Mayfield, or it's a Baker Mayfield's back,
but they've got all sorts of salary cap issues. Tom
Brady retired, They dealt with a bunch of injuries last year.
You know, they've had to part ways with some veterans,

(53:53):
some people that have been there a long time. So
Tampa Bay. The saving grace is the fact that they're
in the NFC South, which is got a real chance
to be absolutely dreadful. So they're going to be in
a division with the Carolina Panthers, who are going to
be probably starting a rookie quarterback. We don't know how
that's going to go. You've got the New Orleans Saints
who have decided to bring in Derek Carr, So Derek

(54:16):
Carr is going to be the quarterback there By the way,
Derek Carr can't catch a break man. This is a
guy who is all about his faith and all about
being a strong willed person, so much so he doesn't
even curse. He said, pissed off at his introductory press conference,
and apologized afterwards. And what does Derek Carr get for
being so faithful and being such a man of high character.

(54:38):
He gets to play football in Las Vegas and New Orleans. Okay,
like one place when you walk on the streets, they're
handing you out pamphlets for hookers. The other place to
throw in beads. If you take your top off, that's
fun ff all of that. That'll be a fun walk
to church, just stepping over strippers, beads, booze bums, Marty

(55:05):
Graw masks like that'll be a good time. But anyways,
that's the NFC South. So that then you got the
Atlanta Falcons, who apparently aren't interested in Lamar Jackson because
they're gonna go with Desmond Ritter, who wasn't you know,
didn't really show much last year. But maybe they'll trade
up to draft a quarterback who the hell knows. But
so the saving grace for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is
that they're in that division, which on paper looks like

(55:27):
it might really stink out loud. But Jason Light, who's
their GM. In fact, there's been some speculations some people
here at Fox Sports Radio think Jason Light is actually
an offensive lineman for the Buccaneers. I don't know who
would come up with that, not me. I mean, like,
I know, Jason Light is the general manager, you know.
I'm not sure you know who from Iowa dam would

(55:48):
think that Jason Light was an offensive lineman for the
Buccaneers during break when we were pulling the sound. But nonetheless,
Jason Light did talk about the Tom Brady era, if
you will, and whether or not he can sitters it
a success. If I go back in time, I would
do it all again. We pushed, we borrowed about one
hundred million dollars against this year's cap and future cap

(56:10):
to do what we did. Came close the second time.
But you know, if anybody wants to criticize what they did,
they can come to any of our three homes and
look at our rings. Oh how's that feel? Oh how
does that feel? Come to our three homes and look
at our rings. Guess what He's one hundred percent correct.
How you look at what Tom Brady and the Bucks
did over the past three years as anything other than

(56:31):
a success is crazy. And there's some people that say,
well Brady left. I mean, they only got one ring.
Nobody's calling it a dynasty. We're just asking whether or
not it's a success. So think about it like this.
They bring in a brand new quarterback, they win a
Super Bowl year one in the COVID year, and they

(56:54):
win that Super Bowl at home. So in a year
where a lot of people were sort of trying to
figure out what was happening and what was going on
and whether or not games were going to be played,
we were having games played on Wednesdays. All sorts of
odd things were going on. The Cleveland Browns, think about this,
This is how bizarre the COVID year was. Kevin Stefanski,

(57:19):
the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, has never won
a playoff game as head coach, even though he was
the head coach of the Browns team that beat the
Steelers in Pittsburgh during the COVID year. Oh that's right.
Because he tested positive, he couldn't be a part of
that game. Yeah, So that's how weird that year was.
So with all that chaos and everything else going on,

(57:41):
and all the just the weird feelings and the fans
not being at games. They had the virtual fans at
some of the games, and then they had limited attendance
in other places, and you only had a half full
or a quarterfull Raymond James Stadium, where the Super Bowl
was played that year. So with all of that against
Patrick Mahomes, the best quarterback of his era, the Tampa

(58:05):
Bay Buccaneers won a Super Bowl year one, dealing with
all of that that everybody else in the NFL had
to deal with. The next year, they're a play away
from hosting an NFC championship because of what happened in
the Niners Packers game and in the divisional round, the

(58:28):
Buccaneers were literally a play away from beating the Rams,
or at least pushing that game into overtime and having
an opportunity to beat the Rams. Unfortunately, the secondary melted,
Cooper Cup got loose and the Rams kicked the field
goal and won the game. So that was year two.
They get into the offseason, Tom Brady retires, there's all

(58:49):
sorts of marital issues, he decides he wants to come back,
and then last year they were snake bit from the jump.
Ryan Jensen, their center, goes down with an injury and
you knew there was a problem yet all the other drama.
Brady leaves for ten days to go to the Caribbean
to try and save his marriage. Reportedly, that doesn't work out.
They're they're having a they're struggling against teams that were

(59:11):
sub five hundred. They still hosted a playoff game, they
got blown off the field by the Dallas Cowboys, like
all of that, and when you consider where they started
from the COVID year to everything else, that's a long
ass three years to look at it is anything other
than a success is crazy, and it was absolutely worth
everything they had to go through. And they're gonna have

(59:32):
to wear it on the back end, much like the
Rams are probably gonna have to wear it for a
couple of years on the back end. But if the
goals to win a Super Bowl, Tampa Bay accomplished that
goal and everybody there within the organization should be happy
about that. And then if you get CANNEDID about three
to four years, because the team's been sub five hundred
for four years straight, you can at least look back
and say, well, we got a ring and we got

(59:53):
to ring them in very difficult circumstances that a lot
of teams struggled with during the COVID year. Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter at The Jonas
Knocks at The Jonas Knocks on Twitter. So coming up next,
it's going to be very interesting to see how something
is discussed in the NFL. If this quarterback does it again,
I'll tell you what it is. Coming up here shortly,

(01:00:15):
but for all the latest from around the world of sports,
ladies and gentlemen. He is the pride of UCLA, one
of the great broadcasters of his generation, a man who
has done it all. If you want a tennis match covered,
he'll do it. If you want a dodgeball event covered,

(01:00:35):
he'll do it. If you need national updates, if you
need a popular interview show on YouTube with the great
Steve Hartman, finally getting an invite after four thousand, two
hundred and twenty eight guests came before. Steve Hartman, this
is the man who does it. I present to you
the Merritt Safina Stock Radio Brian Fenley. Well, play, by

(01:01:02):
the way, Jonas my YouTube channel. You have the highest
viewed video in that channel, and like you said, there
are hundreds of them. All that right, No, I'm serious.
You are well and first good Steve Harman with us here. Steve,
you are gibberish. Steve Harmon your thoughts on Brian Fenley's

(01:01:22):
YouTube channel. Okay, Steve Chaminggown, I was I'm the devil,
by the way, when Steve came on with me on
the podcast. It was interesting because I didn't think in
Hartman's with me as I'm mentioning him right now. I
was so impressed that I got a chance to say
a few words in that fifty minutes we talked. By

(01:01:43):
the way, I do have some sound. This was Derek
Carr on his way to church in New Orleans when
he bumped into Steve Hartman. I'm the devil. Yeah. I
don't know why Steve had to do that. I mean,
the guy's trying to get to church and Steve's gotta
go ahead and throw a wrench in his lands in
the middle of Marty Gross just discussed with Steve Bartman.
I just I'm used to Derek Carr with that Southern accent,

(01:02:05):
you know. I just all I can think about is
Derek Carr with that Southern acc Yeah, thank you, Derek.
Derek joining us here, Yeah, yeah, for sure. Hey, Biden.
By the way, speaking of in the South, two teams
that are battling it out in the second round of
the NCAA Tournament from the South and five seeded Duke

(01:02:26):
up nineteen to sixteen against the number four seeded Tennessee Balls,
led by their head coach Rick Barnes. Seven minutes of
play in the first half and the Blue Devils have
made four three pointers. One game that already wrapped up,
and that was number five San Diego State ripping to
pieces the third seeded Andy Furman's seventy five to fifty two.

(01:02:46):
So the Aztecs of the first team in the field
to get to these Sweet sixteen. By the way, can
I tell you a funny yes Rick Barnes story, Oh
I love it. So years ago, Rick Barnes left Clemson
to go coach at Texas, and one of the reasons
he said he left Clempson to go coach of Texas
reportedly is because Clemson was too much of a football school,

(01:03:07):
so he went to Texas. But a bunch of crap.
That's like saying, man, alcohol's gross, I'm gonna get a
job at a liquor store. Okay. Well, Rick Barnes was
halfway out the door in Tennessee to taking the UCLA job,
and he made his intentions, felt that he wanted out

(01:03:28):
of the valls and then there was a very awkward
turn of events where he actually stayed and then he
had to talk to his players and say, guys, I'm sorry.
I wanted that job. I wanted to leave you all,
but here I am so get used to me sticking around. Yeah,
that was interesting atle Od. Yeah. Kansas head coach Bill
self is not going to partake in today's second round
NCUBA tournament game, coming off an operation last week that

(01:03:50):
helped alleviate some blocked arteries. We did see stadium report
that Houston Cougar star Marcus Sasser, dealing with a growing injury,
is expected to get his full allotment of playing time
in the NBA. Right now, we do have a Clipper
game against the Magic. What a showdown. This is from
Crypto dot com Arena where the clip show down at

(01:04:11):
by nine twenty seven eighteen against Orlando Layton the first
quarter and a final the Knickson comeback fashion storm past
the Nuggets one sixteen to one ten Nikoleokitch two assists.
Shy of that triple devil. Let's get it back to
Jonas Knox, who always carries a baseball bat in his
passenger side part of his car. H that's interesting, not

(01:04:35):
denying it, but that's that's interesting that you would know
that it's a Louisville slugger for little League. He kept
it ever since. I never played Little League. You didn't
make the team. No, Pamla couldn't afford it. It's expensive.
It's a true story. I sort of gone. The only
way I could afford to play one year of youth
basketball was because my brother was had like a landscaping

(01:04:57):
job and he saved money. And it was I think
it was was it eighty nine dollars? I think it
was eighty nine dollars to play for a year because
my parents couldn't afford it. Thanks for bringing it up, though,
Finny appreciate it. Man. By the way, Finley literally walked
in the studio and lit a food stamp on fire
and threw it at me. Yeah, it'll be ashamed of yourself,
you know. I'm sorry to hear Jonas that you never
part partsook in playing Little League, but you did keep

(01:05:20):
the cup all these years later. That is true. Right
when I think you've topped yourself, you continue to get
more weird. That is all that there. He goes a
nothing like having my groin stared at by Brian Finley.
That's always a fun, fun ride here on FSR. All right,
so it is Jonas Hawks, Fox Sports Radio. I do
think this is going to be funny how this plays

(01:05:42):
out in the NFL, because if somebody does this again,
then where does the conversation take the turn? Okay, if
Jimmy Garoppolo, who is officially a Las Vegas Raider, all right, now,
there was some there's a little bit of an issue
because he was supposed to have an introduct press conference
on Thursday at one o'clock local time in Vegas. Yeah,

(01:06:06):
about two thirty they came in and said, yes, I'm
not going to have the press conference today. So everyone
all of a sudden started thinking doom and gloom because
we remember what happened with Carlos Correa, where Carlos Correa
had a press conference scheduled with the New York Mets,
and all of a sudden it was reported that Carlos
Correa basically had Lieutenant Dan for an ankle and he
could no longer be a New York Met and so

(01:06:27):
everything got canceled and we had to move on from that,
and you know, it was unfortunate. Now, Carlos Krea had
to take a contract with the Minnesota Twins for hundreds
of millions of dollars less because again he had some
issue with his ankle, And so everyone thought, Okay, is
there an issue with Jimmy Garoppolo's physical did he fail
as physical? What could be happening? Turns out it was
just some language in the contract. They just they were

(01:06:49):
trying to get some things tightened put together in the contract.
But the part about Jimmy Garoppolo in Vegas that I'm
gonna be fascinated to watch is one if the Raiders
are good, Like what if what if the Raiders are
improved upon last year and the Las Vegas Raiders are

(01:07:11):
a borderline playoff contender or god forbid, what if the
Raiders actually make the playoffs? I mean, they were a
six win team last year. I think we can all
agree some dysfunction, especially towards the end. What it was
decided that Derek Carr was no longer gon gonna play.
But the Raiders were in games last year. I mean
the loss of the Cardinals was egregious. They had a

(01:07:33):
tight game against the Chiefs. They lost by a point,
like some of those games could have gone the other direction.
You could very easily be staring at an eight or
a nine win team. So if Garoppolo goes there and
say the Raiders win nine ten games, god forbid they
win even more, then what do we say about Jimmy
Garoppolo as a quarterback? Because all we've heard his entire

(01:07:55):
career is Jimmy Garoppolo is only good because of the
parts around him. How many different places does he have
to win at before we say, hm, maybe he's not
as bad as everybody makes him out to be. Nobody's
saying that he's a top ten quarterback. Nobody's saying that
he should be up there in the discussions with Mahomes
and Joe Burrow and Josh Allen and Rogers and Herbert.

(01:08:17):
Nobody's saying that. But there's this notion that Garoppolo simply
is just part of the piece, and a piece that's
part of the puzzle, and not somebody who has a
bigger responsibility and a team's success. I mean, you want
to look at Kyle Shanahan's record without Jimmy Garoppolo. I
know everybody likes to say, well, Kyle Shanahan, you know

(01:08:37):
he can do it with any quarterback, really, because the
record would indicate he can't. Before brock Purty went on
the run he went on last year. I mean, Kyle
Shanahan was like twenty games under five hundred with anybody
other than Jimmy Garoppolo playing quarterbacks. So if Garoppolo goes
into Vegas and God forbid, the team is good. I'm

(01:09:00):
just curious to see how we then view him as
a quarterback, because everything I've heard is that all he
is is part of what a team does. He's not
responsible for any of it. He's just simply part of
what a team does based on the talent around him.
Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. We are going to
have the scraps coming up here shortly, but right now
it is time for the progressive play. The day the

Sweet sixteen for the first time, and nearly a ticket
the biggest blowout win. It's San Diego State's favor in
their NCAA Tournament history, as they annihilate Furman by twenty

(01:09:47):
three points. God, that's gonna sound so good when he
played that for Andy Furman as they annihilate Furman. It's
gonna be fun. That's gonna be so much fun. But

(01:10:48):
and all sorts of fun stuff with the NFL and
the draft and all that. I'm sure they'll have some
thoughts on Jalen Carter that situation, so a fun discussion
will be had. Whatever you do, don't bring up the
fact that Bucky is a North Carolina alum. All right,
this is very It's a bad tournament for them. They're
not involved. Nobody bring that up, right, do not bring
it up. He's a man of class and he deserves respect.

(01:11:12):
So you will stick around for that. Coming up again
a little over ten minutes from now from the ti
irac dot com studio. Speaking of the tournament right now,
quick update, they are approaching halftime in the East Region
and Tennessee the four seed has a twenty five twenty
one lead over the five seed Duke, So that is
one that's going to have implications obviously in that bracket,

(01:11:33):
especially when you consider what happened to Purdue. All of
a sudden things open up there in the East Region.
So stick around a Fox Sports Radio. They'll have you
covered on all that here over the course of the
day with any updates, changes, shockers, buzzer beaters. It's all
here on FSR right now. Though it is time to
put a bow on this bad boy was something we
do every single week called this Jonas, how could you

(01:11:58):
not get to These stories are the scraps And for
that we turn it over to our executive producer, Ryan
Burshinger to find out what the hell we missed. First, well,
there was a gigantic upset in the world of college
sports yesterday. Yeah, definitely. Iowa wrestler Spencer Lee lost. Jonah,

(01:12:21):
we all shoot the whole show about taking a shot
at Iowa. Come on, this is huge news. Lee is
one of the most successful wrestlers in college history. He
has three national titles to his name, and he won
fifty eighth straight matches coming to his match yesterday. It
was the semi finals of the Division One Wrestling Championships,
where he was pinned by Perdue wrestler Matt Ramos, denying

(01:12:45):
him to John Ramos. I'm efforting that. Okay, all right,
it's possible. I mean, Ramos is not a very common
last name, so I'm sure they're easily tied together. That
makes sense, now, Is that Is that the one in
the video where the moms snapped her glasses? Yes? Okay,
so so that one. There's a viral video where the
mom sees her sun lose and snaps her glasses, like,

(01:13:06):
pulls her glasses off her face and snaps him in half.
Is that is that standard behavior for an Iowa parent? Sam?
Is that how you do things there? Yeah? Sure, okay, Yeah,
I mean I'm just I'm like, listen, don't attack me.
I don't know why Bursch had to bring this stuff up.
Why do you have to bring up that Iowa lost again?
It's already been a tough weekend. It's been a tough
weekend for Iowa sports in general. Now, do you do

(01:13:29):
have Iowa Hawkeye headphones? I have a faded sticker on
one head on one ear here. Birsch came into me
during the break and said, I'm surprised those haven't been
lost too. I see what you did there? What do
you mean? I'm just listen. I'm telling you what I
said behind your back. I'm trying. I want everybody to
be on the same page here, all right? Now, you
follow Iowa wrestling is a little bit. He was definitely

(01:13:51):
an all time grade at Iowa, and that's considering a
lot of great history in Iowa wrestling. What's his transitioning
to me, is he gonna go to professional WRESTLINGIX martial arts?
What is he gonna do? I don't know. I mean
a lot. I mean, he'll probably continue to he would
want to wrestle for the US Olympic team, I would
think after his college career ends. Yeah, but in terms

(01:14:13):
of professionally, maybe you know a lot of these a
lot of these guys and women are going into uh UFC. Yeah, MMA,
and uh yeah, I think that you either UFC. UFC
started an NIL deal with the University of Iowa. If
I'm not mistaken, I said, really, Yeah, I sent you
an article about that way back. Yeah, I was gonna
I was gonna read that, but then I just carried
on living my life. I on living my low. I

(01:14:33):
believe that's the case, so I can double check that.
But yeah, big loss for Spencer Lee. That's pretty shocking. Yeah,
and worth mentioning. Purdue's win over Spencer Lee here came
forty five minutes before Perdue lost a fairly dick and
he got to celebrate something first. Now, now it's in
conjunction to Iowa's lost with the tournament. How close was
it to that? How long did that was? Like the

(01:14:55):
next day or like twenty four hours later, Um, because
Iowa lost to Auburn. What day that was? Thursday? Yeah,
I'm just asking, gone, Drake gone, Iowa gone, spencerly gone.
You're staring at Bursh and I like, we burned down
your crop circles. We didn't do it, dude, Okay, So

(01:15:15):
I don't know why you have to take it out
of us. We're simply reporting and talking about major stories
in sports. What else they have, Bursh? Well? The Bengals
made a big signing this week. They signed former Chiefs
offensive lineman Orlando Brown. So in his introductory press conference,
he told a story about how when he was going
through pre draft interviews, his meeting with with coach Marvin Lewis,
Lewis asked him what the capital of Spain was, and

(01:15:37):
he said Portugal. Um. Where things get kind of weird
after that. Hold on, yes really yes? Okay? Yeah, Well
apparently according to Brown himself, it's like, say, what's the
capital of Chicago, Canada? La um So Cincinnati reporter Ben

(01:15:57):
bait Bent excuse me, his name is Ben bait Uh.
He tweeted this quote out and Marvin Lewis responded directly
to that tweet, saying, Ben Baby, that's bs. You need
to fact check yourself now. Of course, Ben Baby then
responded by saying, I'm just saying what Brown said in
the press conference. So whether or not he actually said it,

(01:16:18):
it seems to be a conflicting reports between the two
people who were actually in that moment. And by the way,
for those of you that I know, Chicago's not the state. Okay,
that was part of the joke. Relax. I got to
explain everything to these morons sometimes, all right. So, so
was he like kidding around or was he like really
didn't know that that that that that Portugal is not

(01:16:40):
the capital of Spain. It was reported by by several
UH reporters at the press conference. So what does he
think when Portugal plays Spain in like a World Cup?
Like as he just confused, Like, is this like a
split squad game in Major League Baseball where you have
like two teams playing at the same time on different fields. Oh? Wow,

(01:17:01):
that's that's something, all right? What else we got? Birsh So.
Scottie Scheffler's Master's Club Dinner Menu has been released for
as part of the Masters, the previous champion assembles a
menu for the all that's right, club dinner. So let's
take a look at his menu, because we're all about
food here. Yes, So for appetizers, he has cheeseburger sliders

(01:17:23):
served Scottie style, does not specify what that means. Also
firecracker shrimp with sweet ti chili and saracha mayo. He's
got some tortilla soup, avocado crispy blue tortilla strips, our
cream cilantro online. And for the main course, it's either
Texas rib By steak or black and redfish with family

(01:17:44):
style mac and cheese, hallopenio cream corn, fried Brussels sprouts
season fries, and with dessert a warm chocolate chips skillet
cookie with milk and cookies ice cream. So are they
starting that dinner like ten am and then going to
finish up like one around like nine? Like that's a
lot of food, dude? Ye me good? I mean how
I'm good on the sliders, that's it? Like I don't

(01:18:07):
I look, I'm a big appetizer fan. I prefer appetizers
actually because it sits a little bit lighter. Like you
you start getting into the shrimp, into the ribi and
that's not even including dessert. And god who who the
hell knows what they're washing it down with. I mean
that is that, that's really but yeah, there's uh, it's
nice to have Sam Mike up Is whoopee cushion here

(01:18:29):
before the end of the show. That's fine. Steve Hartman
and Bucky Brooks will enjoy that. But yeah, that's a
lot of food, bursh. I mean, you are the machine,
You're the delirian when it comes to food. I don't
think you'd eat that sodas, son of a bitch.
