(01:37):
Boston Celtics blew a twenty eight point lead to the
Clippers on Saturday night, right, they blew a big lead
against the Lakers on Thursday night. Everybody saw that a
lot of things had to go to the Lakers way.
The Celtics completely melted down in the second half. Had
no business losing that game against the Lakers, had no
business losing that game against the Clippers. But you look

(02:01):
at it and you go, well, yeah, but there's still
going to the playoffs, and they're still gonna be probably
a top three seed potentially in the East. And uh,
you know, they're still really really talented. And it's just
two games in an eight two game season. Big whoop,
I mean, big deal. And I agree, I don't think
two games out of a D two means anything for

(02:24):
the most part, looking long term with the team, So
you look at these two you go, oh, well, they've
lost back to back games, you have, but they won
like nine of ten before that, so we've really got
a calm down we're looking at like that. There's also
the issue of Kyrie Irving. On Saturday night, Kyrie Irving
injures his knee, his good knee, not the one he

(02:45):
had issues with the year ago, but his good knee
on a non contact play, and so they called it
a sprain knee. They're gonna get it looked at. He's
gonna do tests coming up on Sunday and they're gonna
figure out whether or not he's gonna be available to
take on the Sixers this week. And so you look
at the losses and you look at Kyrie Irving's knee

(03:05):
and you think, man, god, you those those look pretty bad.
But again, just two at eighty two games, and Kye
reserving Kyrie Irving's knee. Although it is troublesome, those aren't
even the real issues with the Boston Celtics, not even
the real issue. The real issue is they're miserable, Like

(03:26):
that's a problem. They look totally disinterested and completely miserable,
And there's nothing worse than being at a job that
you're miserable at. If you're listening to this right now
and you're at a job that you're miserable at, you
know what I'm talking about. I mean, you're just counting

(03:46):
down the hours, You're counting down the clay you're looking.
Time is crawling. All you wanna do is get the
f out of there. If you working nine to five
during the week, how fun is Tuesday look? Monday? You
can laugh about all the stuff that happened during the weekend,
and you kind of get through and maybe you're a
little hungover. But then you got Tuesday, and all you

(04:08):
keep thinking about is, oh my god, Taco Tuesday. Why
do you think they invented things like Taco Tuesday to
try and get your mind off the nine to five
Monday through Friday work week, Because majority of people go
to work in their miserable they're driving in, they can't
stand it. They just want to laugh, They just want
to get their mind away from their business, away from

(04:28):
it all. They want to get out of there. And
I know that because I've been there. I worked miserable jobs.
It's actually what got me into radio. I was at
a sales job. I couldn't stand it, didn't like it
didn't like the way we were treated. The pay was great,
all that stuff, But I came from a background and
and I was brought up we didn't have a lot

(04:49):
of money, so I was used to not having money,
which made my starting radio perfect because there was no money.
But that got me motivated to try and pursue something
like that, because the one thing I couldn't stand is
driving into work and going as slow as humanly possible,
just to delay the inevitable of the eight or nine
hours you were gonna sit there in a cubicle and

(05:11):
deal with dummies. That that's the last thing I wanted
to do. So I would milk good for as long
as I could, so I can relate. I can see
the telltale signs of somebody who's miserable at work, and
I can tell you right now the Celtics look like
they hate going to work. Sometimes they look completely miserable.

(05:33):
Like it's you can see by the body language, you
can see by the behavior, you can see by the attitude.
They look miserable. Everybody's gonna focus on Kyrie Irving's knee,
all right, People that read the box score, they're gonna
look at the Celtics blown lead and they're gonna look
at the Celtics losing two games in a row. I'm
telling you watch the game, use your own eye test

(05:54):
relate to it in some way because we've all worked
at a place we didn't want to work at. And
that's the exact body language j all of us had.
They are miserable. They they don't like being there. Marcus Morris,
who's one of the veteran leaders of the Boston Celtics,
one of one of the guys who actually had a really,
really good season for Boston. He talked about it after

(06:14):
the game. Has to be a championship team, man, that's
a change where you have to Janie, you want to win.
It has to be the first goal, whatever that takes.
And you know, I'm with it. You want to take
me out turning one up and get something junction there.
I'm with it, man, But I'm trying to win. I said,
an go, we don't have no attitude, We had no toughness.
Are you having fun? You know it's gonna be a
long season. I look at all these other teams and

(06:36):
guys are jumping on the court, and you know, guys
are moving the ball, Guys are being helping each other
and deep finished guys that you know Januine had before
each other. When I look in this team, I don't
see that, and it is so obvious if you just
watch a game, it's so obvious. I actually think they're
a better team than they were last year, just talent wise.

(06:57):
I mean, they brought back virtually everybody from st year's
roster and they added on top of that Kyrie Irving
and Gordon Hayward. They're a better team than they were
last year. And I'm telling you this right now, I
take last year's Celtics to beat this year's team if
they played. It's just just based on vibes alone, just

(07:19):
based on energy and vibes they give off, like you
could say whatever you want. Like, the Lakers got a
lot of attention this week and everybody poked fun at them,
myself included, and a lot of people made fun of
the mess that they're in. Boston has been awkward all season,
but because most of us have been watching football, we
just haven't really paid attention, you know, like you gotta

(07:39):
you know it's there, but you don't really get to
see it. And now that football is done with, now
that we're not watching the NFL that that we're not
flooded on a Saturday with college football. We actually get
to see with our own two eyes what's happening in
the NBA. And I'm telling you right now, go back
to whatever job, whether you're currently in it, whether when

(08:00):
you worked at a long time ago, just think back
to all the telltale signs, all the little things you
did that we're just oozing. I'm miserable and I can't
stand this place, and then watch a Celtics game. That's
exactly what's happening. They're completely miserable. I mean, think about
it like this. Last year's team was six minutes away

(08:26):
from going to the NBA Finals without Kyrie Irving and
Gordon Hayward had no business being on the same floor
talent wise with this year's team, and they're probably gonna
end up doing more than this year's team will, just
based on the fact that they just liked it more.
And I don't know whose fault it is. You could say, well,
what change all Kyrie Irving? Okay, fine, you want to

(08:48):
blame Kyrie Irving, Okay, paint in the assd diva whatever.
I have no idea. I don't know the guy not that,
I have no idea. Gordon Hayward, well, you know he
comes back. He's Brad Stevens guy. He didn't seem like
a guy who has a lot of problems. So I
have no idea. Whether it's Danny Ainge, whether it's a
trade rumors, whatever, but they are a disaster right now.

(09:10):
And when you got a guy like Marcus Morris who
is saying, man, I'll go to the bench, and Marcus
Morris is looking for a contract like he's looking to
get paid in the off season. And when Marcus Morris
is saying, man, I'll go to the bench all sacrifice,
I'm just trying to win like that, we can't. This
isn't working. Like when you're watching other teams around the league,

(09:32):
teams that are inferior to you, and you admire the
fact that they actually celebrate and like each other, Teams
that probably aren't even going to the playoffs, that are
gonna be lottery teams, and you admire them and not
vice versa, and you're the team winning. That's a problematic
issue that's really really bad. There are lottery teams around

(09:54):
the league who are probably thinking, man, I'd love to
be on the Celtics right now, so that we could win,
and there are a guy is on the Celtics right now,
like Marcus Morris, who were looking at teams in the lottery, going, man,
I'd love to get a high five from everybody when
we come back to the bench, Like it is a
terrible situation to be in. And now you've got Kyrie
Irving getting hurt on the non contact play on his

(10:16):
good knee, a guy who's dealt with injuries before, a
guy who missed the NBA Finals, missed a big chunk
of the NBA Finals because of his knee issues, a
guy who missed all of last year because there was
an infection from a screw in his knee. Like that
is a bad sign moving forward. So we can all
poke fun at the Lakers. You can all make fun

(10:37):
of him and oh my god, Magic Johnson and Lebron
and look they are totally flawed as well too. They're
they're a train wreck also. But this has been the
one going on all year long, not just the last week,
and now everybody's getting a peek at it. And Marcus
Morris speaks out about it after Kyrie Irving calls out
teammates before after you see Marcus Morris Jalen Brown shoving

(11:01):
each other on the bench a few weeks back, telling
you man, Lakers got a lot of heat, a lot
of spotlight. The biggest diaper fire in the NBA right
now might be the Celtics, Like they were six minutes
away from the NBA Finals and they look like they're
miserable going to work every day eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio eight seven

(11:23):
seven six three six nine. You can also get me
on Twitter at the Jonas Knox as we come to
you live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Coming up next. If you have been critical of one
aspect of the NFL, right, if you've been critical of them,
you are now officially a hypocrite. Find out how next

(11:46):
Here on FS are Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio coming
to you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. So,
if you have been critical of one aspect of the NFL,
I think we're gonna expose you as a hypocrite. That'll
be coming up here momentarily here on Fox Sports Radio. Um,
I want to welcome to the crew. They're gonna be
riding with me until six a m. Eastern Time, and

(12:09):
they do so every single week here on Fox Sports Radio.
First and foremost, the man who brought us back with
a twenty five year old tune from a soft grunge
band called Bush, and his name is Iowa Sam. I'm
the guy who does his job. He must be the
other guy. I play a lot of would you would you? Okay?

(12:32):
Let me ask you this. Would you rather listen to
Bush or would you rather drink Bush? Um? Can I
do both? You can't listen to Bush okay? Because Bush Light?
You ever had Bush Light before? Of course it's It's
basically Iowa's state beer, Is it really? Which likes their beer?

(12:53):
They freaking love Bush. When I when I was broke
in Charleston, South Carolina doing radio, they would sell thirty
packs at the Piggly Wiggly for twelve nine and and
that would be all I could afford. Like bud Light
with champagne. That was like the behind the glass. Like
like bud Light may as well have been Miller Highlights,

(13:13):
the actual bud Light may as well have been. In
the same case that they keep razors in that you
gotta go get somebody at the front unlock because there
was no shot I could afford a bud light, so
bush light was all I drank. Yeah, bush lights like
gargling a mouthful coins. Yeah, it's not that metal, it's
not it's not that great. It's it's like rust. Now
where would you stay bush light versus Keystone? I think

(13:34):
bush lights better in Keystone? Uh. Man, It's been a
while since I've had a Keystone, But I think what
about Natty Light, Natty Lights gross Keystone light and Natty
light or just like water, you know, I think I'd
still have to put them above bush Yeah. God, I
just remember I was like, Man, if I could do,
I do anything for a bud light right now, I
do anything for a bud light. Yeah, you have to
go ask the guy. I'll take a pack of condoms

(13:54):
and the bush light there, thanks or the bud light there,
thank you. I'm not really sure why, uh gotta open
up the cabinet to get that other stuff. I'm really
sure why the contraceptives were brought up in the show.
Razors and Rubbers. Okay, I'll be honestly did not expect
bad vera off into the ditch. That's uh, that's just

(14:16):
about the last place I thought that conversation was gonna go.
I mean, wow, alright, So so there it is. Uh,
you got you can if you have any issues with that.
Iowa Sam just brought up on national radio. You can
hit him up at Iowa Sam ninety niners where you
can find him Iowa Sam ninety nine on Twitter. Vince

(14:37):
Close is your executive producer here at Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Jonas any rubber jokes you want to spit
out this early into the show there, Vince, It's a
little early for the condom jokes, but I agree. You know,
Sam does his thing the way he does it, and
you know you just gotta let it go with that.
But the whole country come up. Bringing up a song

(15:01):
from twenty five years ago made me think of what
I saw today during the American Alliance of Football game.
Their jerseys are made by Starter. Oh yeah, I am
hoping beyond everything that they bring back the Starter jackets.
Hey look, I'm a Puma guy. You remember back in
the day Puma was a jersey sponsor. Puma was awesome.

(15:24):
But don't imagine those big, giant, puffy Starter jackets coming back.
Oh man, I wanted one of those so bad. I remember,
I'll never forget this. My mom and I went to
Ross Dress for less. You guys know that store up there. Yeah,
I still go there. I I still attend that school.
I'm a t J Max, I'm a maxinistas Is apparently,

(15:44):
I'm a Burlington Coach factory guy. But I will venture
across to UH to Ross Dress for last. I remember
seeing this. I don't even remember the team who it was,
but it was the starter jacket. My mom and I
we're gonna put money together to buy it, but we
couldn't afford it, like we were so broke, and so
we saved money and we went back to Ross Dress

(16:05):
for us to go get that starter puffy jacket, and
that bastard was gone, vanished into the night, I ought
often vanished like a fart in the wind, just like
a shaw shank. Imber. I was in a very similar
you and I grew up very similarly. I was extremely
poor growing up, and I I wanted a starter jackets
so bad because they were the hot. I remember her

(16:27):
telling me like, that's a lesson to be learned, Like
we should have just pulled figured out a way to
pull the trigger off. And I just thought, damn, and
we just never got that. I don't remember what team was,
but I just wanted it. My favorite thing about those
jackets where you would see dudes in ninety degree weather
wearing those things. They did not care. They were so

(16:48):
they were so awesome. They like it would be like
a hundred degrees a hundred percent humidity. Now I'm gonna
wear my starter jacket. Look, you gotta you gotta suffer
like women. That's why women are more courageous than us
when it comes to fashion. Do you know how many
women like put band aids on their feet when they're
wearing high heels or tear like I mean, like they
can barely walk, But you know what, they just deal
with it, Like if if it's a guy, I mean,

(17:09):
it's got to be cushion socks. It's got to be
this that I've got planet fash itis in my right foot,
I might as well just get cut off. I can
barely walk, and I swear to god, I can barely
walk sometimes and I've got to have like planet fast
schitis souls and I've got to roll it out on
a baseball before i can go anywhere. Women though box
of band aids and just suffer through the pain and

(17:30):
get after it. They're they're they're they're the real heroes.
Speaking of high heels, Ralph Irvan is your national Update
anchor here at Fox Sports Radio. Aloha, he Wai Kane.
You know you talk about beer in Iowa with Iowa Sam,
and you're surprised you ended up in a ditch Aloha.

(17:52):
I heard Matthew McConaughey in there somewhere first of your
beating that, Yeah, don't bury the lead here, Ralph, What
did you just say in reverse? You don't you mean
in hell? Did you just say? Man? I think Ralph
thinks we're a local show in Honolulu. I don't think
you realized there's some guy in Duluth. Look at his
at his screen right now going hell that guy just

(18:13):
say he's just reading to me right now saying Aloha Brota,
all right, well Heloha brot. Yeah, Yeah, this is uh.
I just did the condoms threw me off? I'll be
honest with it. Just threw me off. Like I feel
like I was more thrown off by condom talk than
Antonio Carmardi And it just really really threw me off.
You're talking about the high flute and world of buying

(18:33):
a starter jacket. I ate to Tino's Pizza so I
could get a free knockoff starter jack. Oh yeah, I
did um to Tina to Tino's Pizza, and then I
also did Tina's burritos. Remember Tina's burritos, You guys can
be for a dollar, five for a dollar. I'm telling you, man,
we grew up on that stuff. Tina's burritos are like
five for a buck. I thought to Tina's Pizza was

(18:55):
the knockoff. Already, there you go. And so you got
a knockout to his car? What's wrong with you? You're
up in Trojan's and you're up in Tatino's Pizza. What's
wrong with you? Right now? All right? And yet you're
expanding on the greatness of I've never ripped a Trojan before.
By the way, you know, neither is anybody else on

(19:21):
this show. I gotta do this for you, all right, Uh,
guys will yeah, it's not supposed to be on your head,

was a ski mask? What do you put it on?

(19:41):
All right? Now here we go. All right, you get
back on track. Are we on the air? Sam? Count
me down? Count me down. Give me a three to
one on the mic so we can get back on
the area. Sam, Please three to one and you're live.
Jonah Stocks, Jonah Stocks, Fox Sports Radio. Um, all right,
So I would like to on record and say that

(20:01):
I feel like I've been exonerated of all criticism I
receive every single August. All Right, I feel like I
I feel like you all owe me an apologies. What
I really feel like, I feel like you owe me
an apology because for all of you that complain about
preseason football, I don't want to hear a damn thing
from any of you. After the reaction I saw for
the debut of the a a F, the Alliance of

(20:25):
American Football on Saturday, because that was preseason football at best.
You know, the difference between the a F and the
NFL preseason six months, that's the difference. You gotta be
kidding me. People were like, oh my god, this is unbelievable.
First of all the a F I swear to God,

(20:45):
that's a wrestling promotion somewhere. That's gotta be a wrestling
promotion somewhere. I get ripped constantly for saying that I
enjoy preseason football, because every August that comes around and
I'm celebrating preseason football, and I get some knobs, some
seam head who goes, how come you're not talking baseball.

(21:05):
It's August, man playoffs for a month and a half away.
I don't know, because I don't want to fall asleep
on the air, and I don't want you to fall
asleep while you drive. So who cares about baseball in August?
Gimme football. So every year I talked about how great
preseason football is, and every year I get crushed for it.
I'm into it. I've been to a preseason game in

(21:26):
the NFL. I actually paid money to go to a
preseason game in the NFL. It was a blast. I
had a good time. My girlfriend and I went to
a Bears preseason game. I think Jay Cutler was in
for four plays and got picked off five times, and
it was awesome. Walked around, drank some beers, saw the sunset.

(21:47):
I got attacked by mosquitoes the size of thermiss. But
it was all It was great, left early, cruised around like,
didn't take any of it seriously. And I've always said
there's something about non stress US football, just non stress
enjoy football. No dog in the fight, no fantasy implications,

(22:08):
no gambling implications, no real team alliance implications, just watching
non stress football. It's not the best quality, but there's
a place for it. You know what, It's like oyster crackers.
You're at those They could single handedly be the worst

(22:28):
cracker ever made in the history of planet Earth. There
are the people on that movie alive. They probably had
oyster crackers there in the snow. They decided to eat
each other instead. There's nothing to them. They're worthless, absolutely worthless.
They're like cotton candy. You want to pull a trick
on somebody at a carnival in a couple of months

(22:50):
from now, when they pull out a big old wab
of cotton candy, go dump your beer on it and
watch what happens. It evaporates, Gone, no longer there. That's
based aig the oyster crackers. But when you're hungry and
there's nothing else on the shelf and dinner is not
gonna be ready for a little while. You open it up,
you pop a few of those in and you're good

(23:11):
to go. That's what the a F is, and that's
what preseason football is. It's not really any good, but
you know what, there's a place for it. It's there
when you need it, and it'll get you by and
it'll get you through. I liked what I saw with
the a F. It's scratched, an itche a little bit.
Now I would have waited a little bit. I don't.

(23:32):
I don't feel like we needed it five days after
potentially what some people are calling the worst Super Bowl
in the history of the universe. I don't. I think
we could have waited a little bit. But people were
really surprised, like they were really I mean, god, this
is this is much better than I expected. What did
you expect? It's exactly what I thought it was. It's

(23:54):
NFL caliber players before they do their cutdowns in the preseason.
Most of these guys have been on an FEL rosters before.
Like it was preseason football. That's all that it was.
I'm good with it. I have I have no issues
with it. But you guys, I get criticized a lot

(24:14):
for saying, Man, I like preseason football. Yeah, the end
zones aren't painted. Who cares? So they charge season ticket
holders full price for a preseason game. Tough balls, there's
bigger tragedies in the world. Stop complaining about it. I
had no issue with preseason football. I celebrate it. I
talked about it here on the air. That's my go
to in August. You want to talk baseball, that's the

(24:35):
one I go to out of the bullpen when I
really need to get something done. Preseason football that's my
go too. So I have no issue with it whatsoever.
But people are like foaming at the mouth over preseason
football or the A A F. And I'm thinking, what
the f you guys complain in August when it's the
NFL preseason. That's basically what this is. There's not a

(24:55):
lot of differences, Like, just be good with it. And
if you are, remember this in August when you complain
that this is just low budget football. This is just this,
This isn't the real thing. That's exactly what the a
F is. There's a place for it, no stress, no
fantasy implications. You don't have to gamble on it. You

(25:17):
can just watch good old fashioned football, so you don't
have to sit through Duquesne tu lane and college hoops
on a Saturday. I thought it was fine eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio
eight seven seven six three six nine. You can get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks has become alive
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next. Uh,

(25:41):
there's somebody who they get. They have this reputation for
being able to relate with you like they want to.
They want to pretend like they can relate with you
and relate to other players they can't in this regard.
I'll tell you who that is next year on fs ARE,
But for all the latest, it's Ralph Irban. Thank you
very much, Jonas. When we do start in the end,
be a where Oklahoma City came back from twenty six

(26:02):
points down to win at Houston one seventeen one twelve.
Russell Westbrook his ninth straight triple double. That does tie
an NBA record. He's having quite this season already twenty
one triple doubles on the year. Donovan Mitchell with twenty
three points, Rudy Gobert twenty one points, thirteen rebounds in
Utah dominated the Spurs oh five. No Janis in the

(26:25):
lineup for the Bucks. Milwaukee loses to Orlando one oh
three eighty three. Meanwhile, Toronto debuted their new center. That's
Marc Gasol. He scored just seven points getting into the
flow with his new team. But the Raptors easily beat
the Knicks one oh four. At ninety six, New York
has lost sixteen straight games. The Clippers also a huge

(26:46):
comeback twenty eight points down, they come back to win
in Boston one three one twelve And jonas you mentioned
the Alliance of American Football. It's debut was on Saturday.
Orlando crushed Atlanta forty six. Say in Antonio a fifteen
to six win over San Diego. Now, unlike car shopping
can be confusing, but not anymore with true price from

(27:07):
true Car that you can know the exact price you'll
pay for your next car. So there's a true car
to enjoy a more confident car buying experience. On the
College hardwood, number one Tennessee and one. Now they beat
Florida one, number two Duke impressive over number three Virginia
one seventy one. Now let's get back to a man
who knows all about how to relate to others. Jonas Stars,

(27:30):
Bet your ass, Ralph. We're coming to alive in the
Geico Fox Sports radio studios, where it's easy to say
fifteen per center one car insurance with Geico. Go to
Geico dot com, call eight under nine seven Auto. The
only hard part figuring out which way is easier. Um, listen,
there's nothing worse than somebody talking to you about struggle
when they've never dealt with it. It's it's it really

(27:52):
is annoying, you know, like got you got a buddy
who comes from a lot of money, and they're trying
to tell you about how hard it was growing up,
and you're thinking of yourself, dude, shut up, you have
no idea what you're talking about. I remember a buddy
of mine in high school was it was all piste
off because his chore on a Saturday was to crush

(28:14):
the soda and beer cans in the garage, Like he
had to crush them all individually and then put him
in a bag so they could go recycle them. And
I'm thinking to myself, oh, yeah, I just had to
clean up dog crap with my bare hands. Okay, I'll
trade you man, like, please, I'll trade you, uh and
and let's let's take it from there. Like they just like,

(28:36):
there's certain people just can't relate. And then when they
try and tell you, man, I know what, I know
the grind, No you don't. All right, there are certain
people who are afforded certain gifts, and good for them.
They come from things of luxury, they come from uh
places where they don't have to work as hard as others.
Uh and and they get to where they want to go.
Good for them, but they can't relate to the real grind,

(28:56):
you know, they don't. They can't really relate to it.
And it's annoying when somebody tries to tell you, oh, man,
I've been there. Man, yeah, I know what that's. No,
you don't. You have no idea what it's like. You
haven't slummed it, you have you have zero clue what
it's like. Magic Johnson either has already met or is
still planning to meet with Laker players um regarding this um,

(29:21):
this trade that didn't go through, when all the names
that were leaked and and so, Magic Johnson on on
Saturday said that he was going to talk with them
and that he was going to give these players a hug.
It's gonna give him a hug and just talk to
him about how he still loves them. And yeah, this
is just the business of basketball, man, It's just the
business of basketball. Um. Magic Johnson knows a lot about business,

(29:44):
and he knows a lot about basketball. But how the
f would he know about that kind of business of basketball?
Refresh my memory? Um, when was Magic Johnson's name floated
in trade rumors? Or when did he get traded during
his career? I don't remember that. Anybody remember that? I don't.
I don't see her a Coach Belichick. Bill Belichick is

(30:05):
with us here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh, Coach Belichick,
appreciate a few minutes of your time, Coach. Um, when
was Magic Johnson's name floated around in trade rumors during
the course of his career? I don't know. Yeah, I
don't either, Coach. It's weird because I don't think that
ever happened. So how the hell would Magic Johnson know
about that sort of business of basketball. He's no idea.

(30:30):
His name was never floated around a trade rumors. He
was never traded like Lebron James. He knows a lot
about business, right, knows a lot about basketball, he's very
good at both. But how the hell would Lebron James
know about that business of basketball? Has he ever been traded?

(30:51):
Like if he comes to one of those players and says, hey, man,
that's just the business. How would you know? Man, you
never been traded, You never had, you never busted your ass,
and then I thought you were doing well and then
next thing, you know your names in the headlines because
you find out the team and the quote unquote veteran
leader who joined forces with you once you off the roster,

(31:13):
like they have no idea. So like Magic Johnson saying, oh,
it's the business of basketball, or Lebron James saying, oh,
it's the business of it. You have no idea what
you're talking about. Like I've been traded in the NBA
as many times as Lebron James has been traded. Like
that would like me me telling these players, you know what,

(31:34):
Kyle Kuzma, tough balls, man, that's just the business of basketball.
How the f would I know? How the hell would
I know? I've never been traded. I've never had my
name floated out there in trade rumors. After somebody is
telling me, oh, I'm untouchable. We love what you do.
We so happy you're here. And then you see their
name all over the place, so like the like this

(31:56):
idea that Magic Johnson is just gonna smooth it all
all over with these players and everything's gonna be all
good because he's Magic Johnson. Are you sure, like, are
you sure this isn't gonna linger? You're totally positive this
isn't gonna linger. You're a hundred percent positive that he'll
be able to smooth everything over, you know, just like, uh,

(32:19):
LaVar ball is gonna keep quiet because Magic Johnson's there,
never gonna be an issue again. Oh and then this
past weekeme around, a LaVar Ball was talking all sorts
of smoke about the Lakers, you name it, Lonzo Vers, Lebron,
Magic Johnson's got no poll YadA, YadA, YadA, all that stuff.

(32:39):
Like he's not a a fix all all right, He's
not a Swiss army knife good for any occasion, like
they believe it or not. Are certain things that maybe
players today don't really take from Magic Johnson or Lebron
Jameson go. You know what, that's a great point. You're
a veteran leader, how would they know. Like if Lebron

(33:02):
James approached a guy and said, all right, here's what
you should do when you go to college, that guy
would look at Lebron James and go, you have no
idea what you're talking about. You've never been to college,
So what do you don't understand? Like, so this whole,
this whole notion that dot, don't worry about it. Magic's
got it. He's gonna take care of everything. It'll it,
they'll all smooth it over. Man, if they go out
and they get blasted by Philadelphia on Sunday, which is

(33:25):
a very very real possibility, and then what are we
talking about? Are we talking about? Oh yeah, well Magic
didn't have time to talk to him where we didn't know.
Come on, there's certain things people can relate to and
certain things that they can Magic Johnson saying that's the
business of basketball, to have your name leaked in a
trade rumor or to get traded in the NBA. That guy,

(33:46):
he doesn't know what he's talking about because he's never
had his name leaked in a trade rumor. Like he
can't understand what those guys are going through. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine On Fox, Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio
eight seven seven six three six nine. You can also
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks as we
come to you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.

(34:06):
Coming up next, it's um. If you weren't ready for
one of the great sporting events all year long, Saturday
should have gotten you ready. Find out what we're talking
about next year on fs ARE, Jonas Knocks Fox Sports
Radio coming to you live here from the Geico Fox
Sports Radio Studios. We will have another award winning edition

(34:28):
of the Weird World of Ralph coming up here momentarily,
where Ralph Irvin, the most violent man in sports talk radio,
takes center stage and talks about some strange things. So
we'll get to that here momentarily. On fs ARE, we've
got people chiming in on the hottest topic. I know
what you're thinking. Look, the Celtics or MS agree, the

(34:51):
Lakers are a clown show. Tercent agree, You've got uh CA,
it's hoops heating up, you got the a F. I mean, look,
all those things are legitimate, legitimate conversations on sports talk radio. UM,
But when things get thrown into the gutter because Iowa

(35:14):
Sam drops a condom joke earlier in the segment. Uh
we kinda, we kind of veer off into some different places,
Guy writes in. Arnie Spangler, which is the the parody
account of Arnie Spanier writes in and says, what the
hell just happened on your radio show breaking down NBA
trades and all of a sudden condom talk Ralph Irvin

(35:35):
having a stroke? Iowa Sam annihilated on bush Light only
a quarter through the second segment, hashtag derailed. That's a
fair point, Guy writes in and says, Tina's burritos, you say,
just bought some this week for for a doll or
the Bush beer. I had to upgrade the Miller Light.
We all have to make choices in life. Look, I

(35:58):
guess you gotta sacrifice. It's either it's either decent food
or decent beer. Sometimes you can't have both. Guy writes
in and said, oyster crackers are for soup, not a snack.
For what it's worth. Yeah, I know, man, that was
the point, Like, go ahead this. We're not doing in
depth trigonometry here, Okay, we're not. We're not. I'm not

(36:21):
trying to do amaze on the air, all right, We're
just making comparisons. We're having a good time, for God's sakes,
just just keep up a little bit. Another guy writes
in and says, I'm about to have a foursome with
these three, and he's got a picture of spiked Seltzer,

(36:44):
blue point toasted lagger, and ConA longboard. Now, first of all,
he's trying to diminish the greatness of ConA longboard, which
I will not stand for here on this show. So
that is very bothersome. But but you know, we're not
into foursomes on this show. You gotta go one on one.
Take the cone alongboard. I have no idea what spike

(37:05):
Seltzer is, but it sounds like something you don't want
to feed a seagull. Alright, um, we'll let you know.
We are brought to you by Discover. Become a new
card member, and Discover will match all the cash back
you've earned dollar for dollar at the end of year

limitations apply. Right now, it is time for Ralph Irvin
to take center stage and a little something we do
on the show called this Stay careful, Ralphie, take any

(37:31):
my ass And now the weird world of Ralph. What
we do? All right, Ralphie, what do we got? Well?
First off, jonas you asked you, you mentioned Spike Seltzer.
They made a big splash with a super Bowl commercial
last weekend, So did they. Yeah, they're they're one of
the They're that new hot thing of alcoholic Seltzer. I
don't watch super Bowl commercials. Where we go, we move on,

(37:54):
I'm emo? Okay, great, Maama Water U c l A
fired Steve Alford earlier this year and after improbable home
losses to Belmont and Liberty. But Saturday night, the Bruins
are really did themselves in. They led Utah by twenty
two points with twelve minutes and ten seconds left to
go in the game, and then they gave up forty
eight points in the last twelve minutes. Well, Ralph, do

(38:17):
you want to hear how it sounded on Fox? Well,
I know how it sounded in Salt Lake City. Go
for it. It's it's gave it six seconds, the trail
trail by as many as twenty two. That's a gott

(38:44):
leave on the call. Yes, but that a little edition
of the music brought to you by KSL in Salt
Lake city. That's pretty improbably. I will say this though,
that got me fired up from March Madness. That that
game alone, and I watched a good portion of that game,
got me really excited for March Madness. I don't know
why you is gonna have nothing to do with it. Well,
I know, but it's just like you know, buzzer beaters,

(39:06):
a bunch of guys you never heard of. It's fun. Man.
Why do you hate sports so much? Ralph? Get with it.
I do not hate sports? What Ralph? Well, you know,
we talked earlier this hour about the debut of the
Alliance of American Football, and tomorrow we'll get our first
glimpse of the Birmingham Iron when they take on the
Memphis Express. One player that will not be suited up.

(39:28):
That's defensive tackle Laurence Accoya. You see, he was arrested
as part of Operation Clothes Out round three. It arrested
thirteen men in an undercover prostitution ring. What do you
where at in Birmingham? Now, I've been to Birmingham. I
don't remember seen any of those. Well, that's why you
weren't arrested. Now, Okay, was this that like a massage parlor?

(39:49):
Or was this it like, well, you know, it's funny,
it could have been a massage parlor because you see,
a Quay wasn't gonna be playing he has a groin injury. Okay, well,
now makes sense, you see. I mean and look, sometimes
you know, maybe there's a you have a difficulty understanding
the cost of something and maybe what is all? Okay, Well,

(40:09):
I mean, look, I'm trying to find a loophole in
this because I want to see this man back on
the field. So wow, good for him. He felt like
he was in the field when he was arrested, and
he sounds like somebody who works on this show. I
gotta be honest with you, all right, more of this
scimilating sports talk next here on FSR. SO, I believe
there's a situation in sports right now where the best player,

(40:35):
I don't want to say he's disliked by his teammates,
but I think some of them resent him. And I'll
tell you who that is coming up here in just
a couple of moments, Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. You
can listen to the show on the I Heart Radio app.
You can find us on Sirius XM channel lad three
and on all three plus affiliates all across the country,
and wherever you are taking part in the program, we

(40:57):
appreciate a few minutes of your time as we can
be alive here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios,
where fifteen minutes could save you fifteen cent or more
on car insurance. Visit Geico dot com for a free
rate quote. So I'm gonna put a scenario out to you.
A right, I'm gonna put this scenario out and you
think about this and just imagine this is you right now, right,

(41:21):
So just imagine at whatever your current job is, whatever
company you work for, whatever job you're doing, just imagine
this scenario. Okay, imagine you were given an opportunity at
a bigger role. Right. They gave you a bigger role
at your current job because somebody left and they left
for whatever reason um uh sick vacation, um, but it

(41:47):
was an extended period of time, leave of absence, whatever,
But they left, right, And so you got this opportunity
at a bigger role at your job because that person left.
And say, not only were you really successful while that
person was gone in filling in for that person, but

(42:08):
you actually brought the company pretty damn far right, Like,
you did really really well. That person is gone. You
take over your thrust it into that position, and you thrive.
If that person came back and started bossing you around,

(42:31):
how would you handle it? Think about it, that person left,
you thrived while they were gone, You did really really well,
you were great for the company. And then once they
come back they start bossing you around and telling you
you don't know what you're doing. How would you handle it?

(42:53):
Because that's where the Celtics players are from last year
that are still on the roster. They this year because
Kyrie Irving was gone, Gordon Hayward was gone. They were
thrust it into the spotlight. They were thrown into the
position of it, you've got to still lead this team
and we're shorthanded. And they had success, a lot of success,

(43:21):
six minutes away from going to the NBA Finals, And
now Kyrie Irving comes back, and those guys are being
told throughout the course of the season that either they're
not good enough or they're not doing it the right way. Well, sorry, man,
but you weren't here last year and we did okay
without you. Like, I think that's a real situation in Boston.

(43:46):
The reason I bring this up is because it got
even worse on Saturday night. So the Celtics blow a
point lead to the Clippers, all right, now, this is
a couple of days after they blew a big lead
against the l A Lakers on Thursday night, and Kyrie
Irving in this game on Saturday night, non contact on

(44:06):
what is perceived to be his good knee, left the
game with a spring knee non contact issue. They're gonna
look at it on Sunday. He's gonna go through further tests.
I wouldn't to me, you leave a game and you
can't return. I know there's being overly cautious, but it
didn't look all that great, and he couldn't. He didn't

(44:27):
even want to put pressure on it when he was
throwing a lab pass at the basket right afterwards. To me,
it feels like this is something that's least gonna knock
him out for a couple of games. Right. Not to
play doctor, but it just felt like this isn't just
a we're being you know, cautious here. Don't worry about it.
So Kyrie Irving leaves the game, and so my point
in watching the Celtics is, man, that's not even the

(44:49):
real issue with the team. They're just miserable. They look miserable.
They look like they don't like playing with each other,
they don't like being around each other. Marcus Morris is
talking about after the game, we don't we're not happy
for each other. It's been this way for a while. Um,
it's no fun. We're watching other teams around the league.
They're having fun, they're high five and they're celebrating their teammates.

(45:11):
We just feel like individual like me just being brutally
honest about where the team's at. And I don't think
it's just a guy venting. I think it's true, and
I think it's real because if you watch the team,
you can see it yourself. So they just look like
they're not having fun. And Marcus Morris even alluded to that.
They look like they're miserable. And then on top of that,

(45:32):
you've got Kyrie Irving non contact play in what is
thought to be his good knee after missing last season.
They're in a bad spot. It's a mess, and you
look around the East and other teams upgraded and got better.
So you go back to the comments, Okay, what's wrong there,
what's happening? Because I would argue this team this year

(45:55):
in Boston is better than the one a year ago.
They got better players. Jayson Tatum another year of experience,
Jalen Brown another year of experience, Terry rose Yer another
year of experience. You know what you're going to get
out of Al Horford. He's been pretty consistent all the
way through. Gordon Hayward's back, Kyrie Irving is back. They're

(46:15):
a better team than they were a year ago. And
I'm telling you right now, if if somebody were to
ask you you gotta put money in a one game situation,
you can bet on this year's Celtics or last year's Celtics.
Who you're bet none. I'm betting last year's team because
it just had a different feel, It had a different vibe,
a different look. And so you wonder, Okay, what's the issue.

(46:40):
I mean, where did this all go wrong? And I'm
telling you, I think a big part of the issue
is you got a guy who wasn't there when they
had success a year ago. Not his fault. He suffered
an injury, there was an infection, not his fault at all,
and he was supportive of those players. He was on
the bench all the time he was rallying the team,

(47:01):
rooting them on. He was a good teammate while he
was out and genuinely you could tell happy for them
and their success. Obviously wanted to be out there, but
Kyrie Irving looked like he was happy for their success.
And then he comes back and you're telling those same
guys who took the team to six minutes from the
finals a year ago that they're not doing this right

(47:24):
and they're not doing that right, and they're not. Man,
I don't know how I would handle it. How would
you handle it? All right? How would you handle it?
The person you filled in for work comes back after
you have a ton of success filling in for their job,
doing their job for him, doing a damn good job,
and they start bosting you around and telling you how
to do things like how would you handle it? Because

(47:46):
I don't know how I would handle it. I don't
honest to God, and I consider myself to be pretty supportive,
and I don't, you know, try and put myself above anybody.
And I try, and you know, rally and and and
help out and offer support and lend whatever helping hand
I can. But I'll be honest with you that would

(48:07):
test my limits. Like if I had a level of
success and somebody came back in and started telling me
how I was doing it wrong when I know for
sure I did it right without them before that, because
they weren't dependable, that probably pissed me off. Like you're
the Boston Celtics, You're Jalen Brown, You're Jayson Tatum, You're Rosier,

(48:29):
you're all those players on that team. Six minutes away
from beating Lebron James and going to the finals, they
were all asked, Okay, you need to save us. We
can't depend on the guy we thought as our best player.
You've got to save us. And they did, and they succeeded,

(48:51):
and then you diminished the role that they had that
they thrived in the very next year. Like I get
that there would be resentment. So when you're talking about, Okay,
so what's wrong in Boston? They're better, they got better players.
What's happening? Mean, same coach, same I mean, what's going
on here? I mean, all, well, you know the schedule? No, No,
Like they're still winning, that's the thing. Like they're still winning.

(49:15):
But I think there's resentment there, especially at two years old,
I mean, everybody knows this, Like how do you handle
things in your early twenties, isn't compared to now, Like
everybody handles them differently. Like I think there is resentment
there that those guys are being told that they aren't
as important anymore because one guy came back. And then

(49:37):
on top of that, you start finding out that in
the off season that that guy, your star player, is
going to be back. If you trade those guys away
and bringing Anthony Davis, that's a that's an issue, that's
a problem. And I made the point earlier, like we
crushed the Lakers. You know, we we pile on the Lakers.

(49:59):
We pile on for all the drama and all that. Man,
there's a lot of drama with Kyrie Irving feels like
I mean he initially I thought he was one of
those guys who tried to avoid that stuff. But I mean,
somebody's talking somewhere. There's issue somewhere because they were a
fraction of the team talent wise that they were this

(50:19):
year a year ago, and they looked like they were.
They played better together, more cohesive, you could, uh, I
mean just would gut out wins. I mean, look what
they did the sixers in the playoffs a year ago.
I mean, they almost swept Philly in the playoffs a
year ago, and Philly had their best players, they had
him Be, they had Simmons. Boston had rookie Jayson Tatum

(50:43):
and Jalen Brown and Terry Rosier and Al Horford, and
that series the Celtics every loose ball seemed like Boston
got every close game. It seemed like the Celtics got
it out, like they battled, and it just it's a
different vibe. It's just a different feel and it's all
personality wise, like it is not a talent issue. And

(51:05):
Marcus Moore is even alluded to it, even said, look, man,
we're winning. It's just not any fun. Like that's how
bad it is. Like it's it's literally a personality issue.
It's nothing on the floor. This is not a talent thing.
Like they were the one team in the East. I
would argue, yeah, they probably don't need to do anything
at the deadline, and they didn't. They don't need to

(51:26):
do anything. Their their deadline acquisitions were at the start
of the year, when Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving were back.
They didn't need to do anything Milwaukee did something, Philly
did something, Toronto did something. Boston didn't do anything. They
didn't really need to. But there's a major issue within
the chemistry of that locker room. And for all the
fun we poked the at the Lakers and and oh

(51:49):
my god, Lebron's a cancer and Magic's this and that,
and man, it is a bad scene in Boston. Jonahs
Knocks Fox Sports Radio eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox eight sevens have a n six three six nine.
You can get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox as.
We come to you live here from the Geico Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next. Um, there is okay,

(52:13):
So there's an element in the NFL. Al right, there's
something about the NFL that a lot of you dislike, right,
you don't like that. It's an in game element, right,
It's this thing that happens during the game that many
of you, myself included, have complained about. And I realized
on Saturday that we actually need it, all right, find

(52:33):
out what I'm talking about next. Heere on FSR. Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio, coming to you live here from
the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. So, um, I realized
something about the NFL, something we all have complained about
we actually needed. I will make the case for that
coming up here momentarily on Fox Sports Radio. We've got

(52:56):
people we got into a conversation about cheap microwavable food.
I have no idea how we got into that conversation,
but we've got um people that are tweeting in pictures
of Tina's burritos. I don't know if anybody remembers those
Tina's burritos. They're the microwavable burritos. I don't even want
to know what they're made of, probably like cats or something.

(53:20):
But I remember him being like five for a dollar,
and a guy tweets in a picture of some Tina
burritos and there two for a dollar. Now, so that
is that is very disappointing. Back in the day, man
five for a buck, four for a dollar. You never
eat anything that's twenty cents piece, unless it's like penny

(53:42):
candy or something. Well, I mean Sam's clearly, yeah, here's
the problem. Because Sam's Sam's a rich kid who grew
up on the farm, and and so and so. Because
you grew up on a farm, you don't know the
struggle man dirt under my nails every day. Okay, yeah,
dirt under your nails because you were, uh bearing meth.

(54:03):
That's why you had I don't even know what that means. Um.
But but like you don't know, you don't know the
struggle man, those Tina burritos when you're broke, there's something
to them. I'm telling you, like I used to get
when I was working doing radio and in uh South Carolina,
was so broke. Remember I walked into a super I

(54:23):
walked into the Piggly Wiggly. I'll never forget this. I
had ten dollars and either twenty one or forty one
cents to my name. I something like ten dollars and
forty one cents to my name, and I needed food
for a week, and so I I got, I mean

(54:46):
microwave burritos. I got a pack of hot dogs that
were like eighty cents, all store brand, um pack of
hot dog buns. I bought a loaf of bread. Um.
I bought those little one dollar for was and pizzas.
About a couple of those, I mean ramen. I couldn't
even get. I couldn't even get like the the actual

(55:08):
um um cup of noodles I had to get like
the man Cherian ramen, which is just a pain in
the ask. Like the other one, you just pour hot
water into a cup and you eat it. The sodium
content is outrageous, like if if you eat a thing
of cup of noodles, you can feel your calves cramp
up immediately, like just just shrivel up and turn into

(55:29):
prunes because there's so much sodium in it. But I
had to get all that stuff, and I remember it
got so so lean towards the end before my next paycheck,
which wasn't a lot anyways. That the final day, I
was eating Piggly Wiggly brands and it's from the Piggly
Wiggly and North Charleston Piggly Wiggly brand pretzels with mustard

(55:50):
on top of them. Like I couldn't even afford rolled golds.
It's so bad, the little tiny pretzels. I mean, it
was God. But you know what got me through, So
you don't know the struggle, Sam, That's what we got
to deal with. And you were probably so bloated by
with disgusting, absolutely disgusting it just but like you said, man,

(56:12):
you got it's just you gotta do it. Like I
always knew we were struggling at home when uh for
I remember, and it's funny your parents tell you stuff
where you'll have these conversations and then when you get older,
you go, oh, that's what they meant. I remember this
one Friday night. Um, we were getting ready to have dinner,
and my mom's like, you know, why don't we uh,

(56:33):
why don't we have cereal tonight? And I thought, wow,
that's kind of kind of odd, but damn, that's so cool. Yeah,
let's have stereal. And then she breaks up the cereal
and they're in bags and I go, huh. And now
I look back and I go, oh, we were that
bad off? All right? No, no wonder half the house
was dark because we didn't want to pay the full bill. Okay,

(56:54):
I get it, but like you know, you just battle
through it. So there's that. All right. UM. I want
to let you know where brought to you by uh Geico.
We have great news. Is a quick way you could
say money, Uh switch to Geico. It takes fifteen minutes
to see if you could say fifty per center more
on car insurance. Go to Geico dot com and see
how much you could save. We will be playing guests

(57:16):
that garbage coming up in less than ten minutes from
now here on Fox Sports Radio. It is our version
of NFL Trivia. We do it every single week here
throughout the course of the year three sixty five. It's
never gonna go anywhere. Every single week we do it
here on Fox Sports Radio. I guess that wouldn't be
three six, that would be every fifty two whatever. You

(57:38):
know what I mean, figure it out. Sober up. You're drunk,
not me. We will play guests at Garbage five minutes
from now here on Fox Sports Radio eight seven, seven
nine nine. On Fox eight seven seven six three six
nine our version of NFL trivia. If you think you
know the NFL, if you think you are an NFL guru,

(57:59):
this is your oportunity to start on National Radio five
minutes from now Guests that garbage here on FSR. SO.
I was speaking of football. We were talking about this earlier,
and I'm watching the a a F al right now.
I don't know if anybody you're probably thinking, man, why
is he watching pro wrestling on a Saturday. There's other
stuff going on. No, no, no, a F is the

(58:21):
Alliance of American Football and uh they debuted on Saturday,
and I was making the point that I get criticized
a lot because I'm in support of preseason football, right,
I like the NFL preseason Um, is it the most
entertaining thing in the world. No, it's not the most
entertaining thing in the world. But I do think there's
a place for it. I know we've tried to get

(58:43):
rid of it. We've tried to toss it and and
say'll get gritter. This is a waste of time. Nobody
wants to watch this, it's bad football. Well, I saw
a lot of people in support of the a F
on Saturday, and I got news for you. That's preseason football,
same quality, a lot of the same guys who are
in camps around the NFL. I think somebody's there's a
stat out of players in the a F. We're on

(59:08):
an NFL roster before Like, that's preseason football. So if
you were in support of the a F and you
were impressed, quote unquote with what you saw on Saturday night,
that's a preseason football. So if you like that, don't
bitch in August when I'm talking about UH Titans bangals
in the preseason. If they're playing each other like that's
that's what we got, and so I think that there

(59:31):
is a place for it. And the reason I like
preseason football one it gives these guys an opportunity to play.
And that's what the a F is doing, all right.
That's why the XFL, and I think there's another one
that's coming out as well too. It gives these guys
an opportunity. It gives them a platform, it gives them
a stage to where they can showcase themselves a little bit,
all right. So there were there's some of the features

(59:53):
about the a F I actually liked. Um, you know
the hits man Mike KOVICI, I mean, he got vaporized
on Saturday. And he's a small guy to begin with,
and I cannot believe, like I'm so conditioned to the

(01:00:14):
NFL that I just assume not only is that a
fifteen yard penalty, but that guy is getting the electric
chair like it was violent. There were some hits in
those games that were violent, and so it was I thought, man,
you know, they're they're letting some of this stuff go.
Good for them. Um, you know, the fact these guys
are getting an opportunity to play and one last chance

(01:00:36):
if it is to to chase their dream and get
back in the league, that's awesome. I think we can
rally around that for these guys. I mean, Steve Spurrier's back.
I love Steve Spurrier. I covered him in South Carolina
when he was the head coach of the Game Cox.
So Spurrier's back. I'm into that. And they're miking up
Spurrier and he's telling his players, yeah, same play, except

(01:00:57):
this time, catch the football. Like there's a There's a
lot to it that I really liked. But one of
the things that people liked about it is, and I'm
not crazy about it. I'll tell you why. They like
the transparency of the replay process because they take you
into the booth, and while you're in the booth, they

(01:01:19):
let you listen in to them reviewing a play on
the field and how they come to the conclusion that
that's the play, or that's the right call, or that's
the wrong call, or what the decision is. And I
saw people talking about it and they said, oh, man,
you know that's it's so transparent. I wish the NFL
did that. I totally disagree. I think there's something to

(01:01:41):
the big reveal I want disagree, and I acknowledge it's
the right thing to do. Be as transparent as possible,
but I'm telling you the element of surprise when you
can get it, use it every time. I remember this
happening years ago and maybe they still do it. But

(01:02:01):
the WBC, which is a boxing commission, they decided for
an event that was on HBO that what they were
gonna do. This event was on HBO and it was
being broadcast in Mexico, like Cancoon or Cabo San Lucas
or something like that. But while the event was happening

(01:02:22):
in Mexico, they decided to test out open scoring, so
that way there was no surprise at the end of
the twelve rounds. During the fight, they were going to
announce what the judges scores were in between rounds, and
so everybody thought, man, this is such a great idea.

(01:02:43):
That way we're not going to be so upset, and
now the fighters will know what they need to do
during the fight in order to win the fight. So
you don't have a fighter going into the twelfth round
or the final round thinking, oh, man, I got this
one in the bag, only to find out he's down
three points and he lost the fight. So they did
this in Mexico on an HBO broadcast where they announced

(01:03:04):
the scores, the judges scores in between rounds, and it
seemed like such an awesome idea, And then I watched
it and I said, you know what, this sucks. I
would rather see a guy get burned at the end
just for the big reveal. And I'm not saying that's
the right way to think about it, but I think

(01:03:26):
the element of surprise in sports, if you can get
it when knowledge is so accessible now and there's no privacy,
no nothing. If you can get the element of surprise
in sports, you use it no matter what. And the
one thing about the NFL, you may not like that
they're not transparent about their replay or their review. You

(01:03:47):
may not like that they don't fully describe the process
and how they came to that conclusion. But you know what,
when they do reveal it, if it gets a reaction
and you're outraged by it, I think that's an element
they've got to keep in the game. It's like when
they talk about baseball, they said, well, you know, you
want to keep the human element, all right, If we
want the human element involved, then we've got to be

(01:04:09):
able and willing to accept that there's gonna be mistakes
being made, like that's one of the I guess imperfect
perfect things about sports, the human element. And so while
people are telling the A f Man, great job, you
guys are being so transparent with your replays and your
reviews and all that, I'm telling you there's something too
not knowing the answer and then when you get it,

(01:04:33):
just having to deal with it. So I actually like
the idea, and in watching it, I didn't realize that
I'm more on the side of give me the big
reveal as opposed to give me the big transparency. In
the NFL, I don't need to know how you came
up with with your decision. I don't need to know
all that. Just come up with your decision, and it's
for us to determine whether we like it or not.

(01:04:55):
I saw it happen in boxing. I thought it was
the greatest idea. I'll let these guys know what the
score is in between rounds so that way there's no confusion.
And then I watched it, I said, you know what,
this kind of sucks. I want to be surprised, even
if I'm piste off about a surprise me, you know,
keep me, keep me on the edge of my seat.
Don't tell me everything that's happening, don't tell me all

(01:05:17):
the ingredients. Just bring me the food. And so you
can like the transparency all you want, but to me
for my liking, I'm good with the big reveal. And
I think the way the NFL does it, and what
I didn't know that I liked it until Saturday night.
I think the way they do it is the way
you should handle it. Eight seven seven nine nine on Fox,
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio eight seven seven nine six

(01:05:41):
three six nine. That is an important number. And here's why.
If you want your opportunity to play guests that garbage
our version of NFL trivia, it's always easy, all right.
This is all stuff that's happened within the last week
in the NFL. We're not going way far back if
you want to be a part of it and star
on National Ray d O. Eight seven seven ninety nine

(01:06:02):
on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three
six nine is the number for you guess that garbage
is next, But for all the latest it's Ralph Irman. Well,
thank you very much, Jonas, and we still start in
the NBA where Oklahoma City came back from a twenty
six point deficit to win at Houston one at seventeen
one twelve and Russell Westbrook another triple double, his ninth

(01:06:23):
straight that ties an NBA record. He's already dished, had
a lot of assists. Uh, everyone's talking about him being
the most selfish player. I don't know if that's the
case anymore when you addition out the number of assists
he is. But Donovan Mitchell with twenty three points, Ready
Gobert twenty one and thirteen Utah big win over San
Antonio one oh five Toronto debut Marc Gasoul He only

(01:06:46):
scored seven points, but he is just getting acquainted with
his new teammates. The Raptors easy over the Nicks one nine.
Janice did not hit the floor from Milwaukee, and well,
the Bucks suffered from it. They lose to Orlando one
oh three eighty three. Speaking of big comebacks, how about
the Clippers. They're down twenty eight points on the road
at Boston. They come back to win and win big

(01:07:07):
one to one twelve. Online car shopping and be confusing
not anymore with true price from true card and I
can know the exact fright, She'll pay for your next
cars as a true car to enjoy a more confident
car buying experience. And Saturday was the debut of the
Alliance of American Football and then at least was football.
Orlando crushed Atlanta forty two six. Actually put up a

(01:07:28):
lot of offensive numbers with Steve Spurrier as the head coach.
Not the same situation though with San Antonio and San Diego. Yeah,
they played to a fifteen to six final score. So
I guess that means it's time for guess that garbage
right show us you better believe her. Alph. We come
to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios,

(01:07:50):
where it's easy to say more on car insurance with Geico,
Got a guy, go dot comic call seven Otto. The
only hard part figuring out which way is easy year
Jonas Knox here on fs are. We do it every
single week at this time. It's a little version of
NFL Trivia, and we call it, well, we called this,
Oh my god, what the hell is that? These two

(01:08:13):
teams flat out an he stinks, stinks he welcome to
the party. How does that? Yeah? We do it every
single week, man, we go around the country, sometimes around
the world, depending on who's awake, who's listening on the
I Heart radio app overseas, and I ask you basic

(01:08:35):
NFL trivia. These are all things that are relating to
stuff that has happened in the NFL within the last week.
We don't go away far back. I'm not trying to
ask you who won, um who scored the first extra
point in Super Bowl One. We're not doing any of
that stuff, all right, For the most part, this is
all current day NFL stuff. And if you've been paying

(01:08:57):
close enough attention to the league, you should have no issue.
What's aever? Right, So let's go ahead. Let's see who
wants to be a part of it, who wants who's
got the balls to be a part of Guests at
Garbage here on Fox Sports Radio, And for that we
start in Vegas where Bobby is listening here on FS

(01:10:26):
All right, Bobby, are you ready for this? Man? You
want to play a little right? Here we go. So
there were three players who scored in Super Bowl fifty three.
Name two of them. Okay, it was sonya Chelle, it
was zero line and it was Goskowski. That is well done.

(01:10:50):
Congratulations three for three. That is correct. That is correct. Now,
if you were a little bit more like if you
were drunk, he would like assume that three people scored touchdowns,
but he wouldn't have been paying close enough attention. So congratulations,
use a US spot on. Well done. What do you want? Sam?
You're you're you? You want to talk about something? Is it?

(01:11:11):
Is it the wine? People eating wings with wine? Is
that not an Iowa thing? Bush light and wings? No?
I had nothing to say. I was just just thinking
about something I can't I can't believe you don't like
I p a s. I wish you were on my
level when it came to beer. You don't like you
must constantly troll Jonas. How dare you? All right? Let's

(01:11:31):
go to San Antonio where Trucker Joe is listening here
on Fox Sports Radio. Joe, what's happening? Man? Ain't happening? Then? Uh? Joe?
You're driving right now? Yes, sir, you wanna let me
hear a little something. Oh yeah, let me hear that horn? Baby,
hold on? Hold on? Oh di, samo, Joe, that's all Joe.

(01:11:58):
You've got a horn on you man. I think you're
horning a little bigger I can assure you it's not Joe.
All right, So here we go. Um, So Joe, I can,
by the way, I a trash man. You gotta get
up on your forty game. Sam. You gonna lets credit.
I p A is like that, You're Mr. I p A.
You just spit in your face. You're gonna take that. Uh.

(01:12:21):
If they made a forty of I P A. I'd
probably buy it. You know, they make twenty two's. But
you know he's got a really good I p A.
Stone cold Steve Austin. I'm not even making that up.
He's got a legitimate, really good I p A. Spit,
Yeah he does. He got an I p A. It's
by Elsa Gundo. It's good I p A. Yeah. I
haven't tried it yet. All right, So Joe, here's the

(01:12:41):
question for you. So you know Jared Goff had his
struggles in the Super Bowl. He saw that right, Yeah
he was. Here's the question for you, who would And
this is multiple choice. I want you to listen to
all the options before you take your guests. All right,
all right, here we go. Who was the last l
A Ram to throw a touchdown in the Super Bowl?

(01:13:03):
Was it Kurt Warner, Mark Bulger, Lawrence McCutcheon, Vince Ferragamo
or Vince Close. Yeah, uh, let's see, let's see, let's
go with I'm sure I know the answer, but my
body wins over there, let's go close. Well done, sir,
That is a That is a veteran move right there.

(01:13:24):
That is correct. Well done. Yeah, you see, if you
guess the ringer, we're gonna give you the points automatically.
The actual correct answer is Lawrence McCutcheon. He's a running back.
He threw the touchdown in Super Bowl fourteen against the Steelers,
So that means that in l A. Ram and two
Super Bowl appearances, no Rams quarterback has sort of touchdown pass.

(01:13:49):
You got tricky there? Hey, you know what, look tricky?
You gotta pay attention. Alright, no free rides here as
all right, Let's go to Phoenix where Angel right now
is in a supermarket and he is stocking shelves. All right,
he is stocking shelves. Now, Angel, we're gonna go around
the room here, We're gonna try and guess what it

(01:14:11):
is you're currently stocking in the supermarket. Alright, So so Sam,
go ahead, take your guess. What do you think? It is,
uh the locked up razor case. Alright, Vince, go ahead,
I'm going with hot sauce. All right, Ralph, Irvan take
a guess? What do you think? Angels stocking? Right now?
Van Camp's pork and beans. Okay, I will go. I'm

(01:14:31):
gonna go with Sarah Lee bread. Angel. What do we got?
Damn it? Man? Why is it always gonna be? What?
What do you mean you win? Ralph? Did you say pickles? No?
I was the first to say I win. Are you
going glastic or what? What are we doing there? Angel? Oh? Yeah,

(01:14:54):
we got the lastic here. Nice speaking of sodium, man, Yeah,
you're a pickle guy, Jonas my pickle guy. You like
a good crunchy coacher dill pickle with your sandwich. But
you don't need any of that stuff anyway. No, No,
I love pickles. I bet you they're pretty good too.
Great sports talk radio first segment of the show. Oh yeah, listen,

(01:15:16):
that's what we do here, angel Um. All right, So Angel,
here's the question for you. It's a true or falls
That should be pretty easy. All right. It's Super Bowl
fifty three. True or false? That was the lowest scoring
super Bowl in history. True or false? That's see, that's
you know, he's it was that just a veteran, He's
a veteran of the game. He gets it. Man, talking
about a multitasker. He's stocking shelves. He's uh, he's getting

(01:15:37):
correct answers on guests at garbage. That was an easy
one telling you. Let's go back to San Antonio. Joe
was listening here on Fox Sports trading. Joe. What's going on? Man?
Not too much? Yeah, well what are you what are
you doing there? Joe? All right, Well, we gotta hear
your horn. Joe. That sounds like it sounds like your mouth,

(01:16:03):
like you're making that with your mouth. Joe. I'll be honestly,
I mean that's it's it's a quality horn you got.
You got a nice horn on you. I'll give you that.
All right, Joe, here's a question for you. Who has
more Super Bowls? Tom Brady, Bill Belichick or Robert Kraft.

(01:16:28):
Robert Kraft that is incorrect. You know the answer will
be Bill Belichick. You see, you want a couple as
an assistant with the Giants. This is uh yeah, look,
I mean this it's we're getting tricky here, but that's
the way it's gonna be all right, final one final
one of your guests, Carvage. Thanks Bill. We got a
Mike who's in West Virginia Here on FS are Mike,

(01:16:49):
what's happening good? We're just hanging out, Mike. UM, here's
the question for you. I want you, this is multiple choice.
I want you to listen to all the options before
you take your guests. Okay, all right, here we go.
So Julian Edelman was named Super Bowl m v P.
You saw that right, alright, so multiple choice, listen to
all of these before you take your guests. Al Right,

(01:17:10):
Where did Julian Edelman play his college ball? Was it
Penn State, Kent State, Boise State, Ball State or Testicle State?
Uh state? That is correct, Well done. That is correck, sir.
We would have also accepted testical state as well for

(01:17:33):
obvious reasons. And with that a four and one performance
Here on guests at Garbage Job. Well done. The NFL
season is over, but you guys are still in game shape.
Well done. Here on Fox Sports Radio, Jonas Knox here ONSR.
Coming up next, We've gotten more bizarre commentary for one

(01:17:55):
of the great players in the history of sports. Find
out who it is. Next to on fs are garbage.
Jonahs knocks Fox Sports Radio as a company alive here
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios and less than
ten minutes from now here on fs ARE. There are
two organizations who find themselves in a similar spot and

(01:18:21):
it's not a good one, all right, So we'll get
to that ere ten minutes from now here on Fox
Sports Radio. Um, so, I was going to talk about
this on the show, Yeah, but we got caught up
in some other things. But Lebron James's comments about talking
about the teams in the East going for it because
they don't have to go through him anymore, like because

(01:18:43):
they don't have to go through him to get to
the finals, and people see that they go, oh my god,
that's such an egotistical comment. Yeah it is. It's also true.
I mean, you know, look, the Raptors went for it,
and they went out and got p J. Tucker and
and some other pieces in recently years and and they've
done all that, so they've tried this before. Um, but

(01:19:04):
I mean, it is a reality that Cleveland really was
the team and it's one less team you have to
deal with. But what's funny about this is that, like
he's made multiple, like multiple times over the past few weeks,
he's been making these comments. So he makes that comment Joel, Yeah,
they don't have to go through me anymore. And then

(01:19:25):
he makes uh comments about how he's the greatest of
all time after he wont in Cleveland, and then he
made a comment earlier in the week talking about all,
you know, I've got nothing left to prove to anybody,
something along those lines, like when you go out of
your way to tell people how great you are, and

(01:19:45):
you do it over and over again, you're either lying
or you're over compensating, or you're doing both, and it
just it is a little interesting that he chose this
year to all of a sudden start announcing how great
d is. Nobody's denying he's a great player. But when
somebody's going out of their way to make it a
point to tell you how great they are, there's some

(01:20:08):
sort of an insecurity in there somewhere like like that
that that doesn't seem like normal behavior, right, Like, guys,
I don't recall Michael Jordan's doing that. I don't recall
a lot other great players going out of their way
to do it. Ricky Henderson maybe, but he did it
and it was funny. Um, It's just it's interesting how
he chose this this season to make all those statements.
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio more Next, So I believe

(01:20:31):
that there might be a very successful head coach in
sports who doesn't really like his own team. All Right,
I will explain coming up here in just a couple
of moments, Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can listen
to the show on the I Heart Radio app. You
can always find us on Sirius XM channel LAD three

(01:20:51):

(01:21:13):
for a free rate quote. So I was making this
point earlier that we've all like you know this, You've
been in this spot. You might be currently in this
spot right now to where you work at a job
you can't stand and you're miserable going into work, and
they're like there's nothing. And I said this earlier. It's

(01:21:35):
what got me into radio because I was working at
a job where the money was pretty good and all
this stuff, and but I always wanted to do radio,
but you know, I needed money. And then finally it
just got to the point to where I was so
miserable at this that I decided I'm going full board
as as hard as I can at radio. I'm gonna
go all the way. Because I was doing a little

(01:21:56):
part time, a little bit of this little helping out,
a little interning, little filming in I just decided I
can't deal with this anymore, and I will take a
significant pay cut, I will do anything. I just don't
want the feeling of driving into work and being miserable.
I just I never want that feeling again. And that

(01:22:16):
was the whole goal. It was just it was that,
because there's nothing worse than like a Monday morning or whatever,
just getting up and driving in and knowing that the
place that you're going to you don't want to be there,
but you have to be. It's sucks, man, it's terrible.
I've been there. It's awful. It's a miserable, miserable thing
to deal with. And there's people you're listening right now,

(01:22:39):
maybe you're in that spot, maybe you've been in that spot,
but you know what I'm talking about. You can relate
to it. And the reason I bring that up is
because when I watched the Boston Celtics play, those guys
look like they're miserable, like they don't want to be there. Um.
They blow another lead against the Clippers on Saturday night,

(01:23:00):
were up by eight at one point. UM. This after
the Lakers collapse. Uh, the game and the losing of
the games, probably not that big of a deal. They
had won like nine of ten before this this last
couple of games, so they've been playing well. It's really
not that big of a deal. Kyrie Irving suffering a
non contact injury or or something to his knee is problematic,

(01:23:26):
especially when he's had issues with his other knee, so
you know, non contact leaves the game. They're calling it
a sprain. He's gonna get it evaluated, and they're gonna
do further tests on Sunday to try and figure out
how long potentially he could be out. Like that's that's
also problematic. But I don't even think those are the
biggest issues. I think they are miserable. They're you driving

(01:23:49):
into a job. You can't stand there. Me driving into
my former job, I couldn't stand it's they are a
miserable group of guys. Marcus Morris, who's a veteran on
the team, him, who's playing really, really well this season,
he talked about it after the game. Trust to a
championship team, man, has a change where you have to
januar you want to win. It has to be the

(01:24:10):
first goal. Whatever that takes. And you know, I'm with it.
They want to take me out turning up and get
something junction there. I'm with it, man, but I'm trying
to win. I said, an go. We don't have no attitude.
We had no toughness. When you're having fun, you know
it's gonna be a long season. I look at all
these other teams and guys are jumping on the court,
and you know, guys are moving the ball, Guys have
been helping each other on defense. Guys that you know, Janie,

(01:24:32):
you have before each other. And I look in this team,
I don't see that. I just think about that that's
a guy on a team who could win an NBA championship,
has enough talent to win an NBA championship, and he
would probably rather trade places right now with a team
that's going to be in the lottery, just based on fun,

(01:24:54):
because it's just more enjoyable. Like that is that is
a major issue and a problem. And it's not a
talent thing. They've got enough talent there, but they are
miserable and if you just watch them, you can see
it's like, man, they like do they even like? It's
almost like they don't even like like being around each other.

(01:25:16):
And there's nothing worse than that than having to go
to someplace, even if you're having success, even if you're
making money, having to go to some place where you're
not happy. And they're a good basketball team and they
just give, just give this vibe of man, we don't
even want to be here, we don't even like each other.
I said it earlier, if if if I had one

(01:25:37):
game to win, would you take last year's Celtics with
less talent and injuries or this year's Celtics. And I'd
probably take last year Celtics just because they seem like
it was just a different energy, at different vibe, but
different mentality, a different mood around the team. It's just
it's different and this year they just look miserable. And

(01:25:59):
so Marcus more as the statements, there's there's a lot
to him. But the other part of this that I
think is kind of interesting is Brad Stevens. Brad Stevens
a very good coach. Nobody's going to deny that. I mean,
XS and OS wise, Um, you know, how he can
put players in in successful situations like that is like

(01:26:19):
we know that now. You talk to enough people around
the game and they'll tell you the guy is brilliant.
He knows what he's doing. But I actually wonder if
Brad Stevens is better suited for a team who doesn't
have a dominant superstar. I wonder if Brad Stevens is
better suited for a team that doesn't have these let's

(01:26:43):
go get a big three, let's go chase big players
around the league, let's mortgage our future and go for
Like I wonder if he's better suited for a team
that he can actually coach, Like why did guys like
Josh McCown and Ryan Fitzpatrick still get starts in the
NFL because they'll follow the plan, Like if there's a

(01:27:04):
game plan and if there's a playbook, and if you're
trying to get something done, more so Josh McCown. Because
Ryan Fitzpatrick can be a little bit of a gun slinger, okay,
But a guy like Josh McCown, he's always gonna find work,
always for as long as he wants to play, because
he's easy to coach. He's always going to follow the plan,

(01:27:27):
he's always going to know his playbook, he's always gonna
know his responsibilities, he's gonna know everybody's gonna be He
doesn't have the best arm, not the most athletic, not
the best quarterback in the world. But you'd be hard
pressed to find anybody critical of Josh McCown. They love
him on their roster, they love him on their team,
and he's a coach's dream. He's just easier to coach.

(01:27:48):
I'll bet if you ask Brad Stevens privately, you pulled
him aside, privately to where nobody else is around, and
you asked him, Hey, which team would you rather coach?
Would you rab or coach this talented roster led by
a future Hall of Famer, or would you rather coach
last year's team less led by less talented guys and

(01:28:11):
a team dealing with injuries, and I would bet you
anything he'd take last year's teams. He would take last
year's team, I bet anything, because he actually had control
of it. Like it feels like he doesn't have control
of this team, Like he doesn't have control the row.
Like it's just he's trying everything, and he's and he's

(01:28:31):
honest about how bad they are post games. He's brutally
honest about their performance during the game. But there's just
no solutions as of yet. And it just feels like
this team is really really difficult to coach. More talented,
but extremely difficult to coach. Like you ever Data Princess,
you ever date somebody who's high maintenance, Like they look great,

(01:28:53):
they're gonna get a lot of attention being with him,
but they're just a pain in the ask to deal with.
It's just everything's got to be this and it's got
to be done up this way, and it's got to
be that. Like it's just at a certain point, you're like, man,
I just why, like can't we just do something simple?
Do we? Does it have to be so extravagant? Does
that have to be so over the top? Like I

(01:29:14):
wonder if Brad Stevens. As good of a coach as
he is, is he meant to coach superstars, or at
least superstars like a Kyrie Irving, who are going to
have a big personality and are going to have enough
poll to where they can dictate where their career goes.
Like I wonder if if he's if he's up for

(01:29:35):
coaching a team like that. Like that's why we can
always say, man, Phil Jackson had all the talented players
in the world, Man Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan and
Scottie Pippen and Kobe and Shack And yeah, that's fine,
But there is a a extremely commendable quality to Phil
Jackson in that he dealt with those personalities. Maybe he's

(01:29:57):
not the exes and those guys that some other coach
is are, but he dealt with those personalities and he
figured out a way to make it work. And that's
an art in itself. Eric Spoelstra, Like, you could say
whatever you want about Erik Spoelstra. Anybody could have won
with Lebron James and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, all right,
you could say that, But I mean that's a lot

(01:30:20):
for a young guy who was a video editor with
the Miami Heat that he somehow figured out a way
to to stick around to get those guys to play together,
and they want a couple of titles. And then you
see what he's done with a much less talented Miami

(01:30:40):
Heat team, and Eric Spoelscher has had success and now
people look around and go, oh so he is kind
of a damn good coach. He was a good coach
all the time. He just had to manage personalities when
Lebron was there. Like Doc Rivers. I mean, Doc Rivers
has done some of his best coaching, probably this year,
but he's got an NBA title ten years ago, like

(01:31:04):
because I think that was a different difficulty. I think
that was just different. You gotta coach personalities. Is not
so much about xs and ohs, dealing with all these
like egos and all this. And I just wonder if
that's the next phase or Brad Stevens development, because you
would think a guy like that who had all this experience,
they make a deep playoff run there six minutes away

(01:31:26):
from going to the finals a year ago. Brad Stevens
not only j Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and all
those guys Rosier, All those guys would be better and
more experienced this year. You would think Brad Stevens would
be the same guy as well, too, more experienced. Yet
it looks like he has less control of his team.
And I just wonder if he's a guy who's meant

(01:31:46):
to coach teams that don't have superstars, Guys that are
gonna trust him and follow his system, Guys that are
gonna be easier to coach, Guys that are gonna be
that are gonna listen to him and take what he
says seriously, because it feels like, not only are the
players miserable there, but it feels like Brad Stevens has
got no answers, like he's got no CounterPunch, and they're

(01:32:07):
trying everything. Maybe Marcus Morris's comments is gonna are gonna
wake somebody up or who knows, But they look like
a miserable group, and we can say what we want
about the Lakers and their dysfunction. Boston's right there, neck
and neck with him eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio eight seven seven nine.

(01:32:28):
You can get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks
as we come to you Alive here from the Geico
Fox Sports Radio Studios. Uh coming up next. So there
is a somebody thinks they have a solution, all right,
they think they've got a solution to a problem within
their own organization. And I'll tell you why the problem

(01:32:48):
will be there when it's all said and done. Find
out who we're talking about next year on FSR. Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio, coming to you Alive from the
Geico Fox Sports RADI your studios. We were talking about
this earlier the end of the u c l A
Utah game. U c L A had a twenty two
point lead, I think it was, and it was on
Fox and UM and so Joe Davis and Doug Gottlieb

(01:33:16):
were on the call, and Utah got the ball and
was coming down and I don't know that they had
had a lead in the game. I don't believe they
had a lead in the game. And so as they
come down on Fox, it's Joe Davis and it's Doug Gottlieb,
who you can hear Monday through Friday here on Fox
Sports Radio three to six pm Eastern time here on
fs ARE. And this is how it sounded. It's at

(01:33:40):
two point six seconds. That's the trail. The trail by
as Medios twenty two. It's trailing. They were three the two.

(01:34:05):
I don't believe it. Wow, one of the greatest Cup
backs you will ever see. It's manus was more. I

(01:34:28):
was and and so I'm watching that game, and I'm
kind of flipping around going to different college basketball and
it's like, you're, like I was talking about this on
yesterday's show. It's like you're working out new muscles because
you've been watching the NFL, so you just condition to
NFL and NFL times and length of games, and like
I'll say, it's about college basketball. It's not here for long,
and it's not relevant for long in the sports calendar.

(01:34:50):
But when it's here and it's good, it's pretty damn
tough to beat. We go live now to our college
basketball critic. Who's got to jump in and rain on
the Parade of the Utah You it's Iowa, Sam Sam.
I'm gonna ran on the parade of the Pack twelve,
which is just awful this year. Let me tell you
how terrible it is. Jonas Washington Huskies are nineteen and four, right,

(01:35:11):
they're not in the top twenty five. They're leading the
Pack twelve with a record of ten and zero and
they are not ranked. They have their nineteen and four. Yeah,
it's that's how bad the league is. They might get
one team in the NAT Turney, they're bad. The Big
ten is good, the a CEC is always good. That
the Pack twelve is terrible. But look, I mean, and
it's it's a real shame because you know, and watching

(01:35:33):
the Pack twelve network, Oh that's right, Yeah, we don't
get that here here. Yeah, we live in l A.
Why would we get sorry about that? Sorry about that?
That's uh what a bummer. But no, I got look
watching college basketball and Duke Virginia is the third best
team in the country, and they got close a couple

(01:35:55):
of times. Like you're just watching the difference between Duke
and Virginia and you're like, oh, yeah, those are guys
that are going to play in the NBA and those
are guys that are not going to play in the NBA.
It's just like a different just a different athlete watching
Duke play Virginia and I but and this is where
the unfairness of the n c A tournament comes up.

(01:36:18):
Duke looks to be the most talented team. UH. Tennessee's
number one Duke looks to be the most talented team. UH.
They're the favorite to win the national championship. But because
of the unfair nature of the n c A Tournament,
I don't know how you can bank on Duke winning
it because it takes one bad half or one buzzer

(01:36:39):
beater or one bad shot. There is no advantage to
having a really really good regular season in college hoobes.
There's no advantage because even if you do get a
number one seed, it's not like you're playing a home game.
I mean, what what's what's You're not playing a home game.
Everything is a neutral site game against teams Sometimes you

(01:37:00):
don't have a lot of time to prepare for lower
seat or not you're traveling. And then if you do,
and if you are fortunate to get all the way
to the final four, that game's usually played in a
football stadium. It just none of them makes any sense.
So that's why I just think the like the n
c A tournament is so difficult to predict. As as

(01:37:23):
good as Duke looks, it literally takes one bad five
minute stretch of play in which you don't get the
bounces or they call a foul, or there's a tip
ball or the possession arrow, and then it's all up
for grabs. But it's fun, man, and Saturday got me
got me kind of fired up for for the college
basketball season down the stretch. I want to let you
know we are brought to you by Discover. Become a

Jonas knocks here Fox Sports Radio. We'll have the scraps
with Ralph Irvan coming up in about six minutes from now.
You're on fs. Are so the the big game in
the NBA coming up on Sunday? As as people start

(01:38:07):
to get used to no football on a Sunday for
a long long time. Well, we've got the A A
F and we'll get to more of that later on.
But you've got the Lakers in the seventies sixers. It's
a three thirty Eastern time tip off in Philly. Um
Laker fans felt like, man, we saw that game on
Thursday and we are back. The season is not over, man,

(01:38:27):
that that game saved the season. No, it did not
save the season. You did things in that game that
you don't ever do at any other point during the
regular season or in the history year franchise, Like twenty
two three's ray Geon Rondo hitting a buzzer beater. That's
not that's not a normal event. Uh, deflected balls that
end up in your hands, and you hit big three

(01:38:49):
point shots or big baskets, that's not a normal event.
You can't really plan on that. So you can get
excited about it, But I think there's still a reality
to the Lakers. They've got a lot of hurt feelings
on the team and they've got to still deal with
that throughout the course of the season because they couldn't
pull off the trade and couldn't land Anthony Davis. And
now all those players on that team know that Lebron

(01:39:09):
and Magic they see bigger things out there, they see
better things out there. And so Magic Johnson is saying, well,
I'm gonna meet with those guys and give him a
hug and tell them about the business of basketball. You know,
this is the business of basketball. With all due respect,
Magic Johnson has no idea what it feels like to

(01:39:30):
be traded or to have his name mentioned in trades,
no idea, because he was never traded. Neither does Lebron James. Like,
those guys come from a place and not many people
can relate to them, but their teammates, the guys on
that team who were mentioned in those trades, those guys

(01:39:51):
come from a place that Lebron nor Magic can relate
to either, because they never had their names dragged into
a public trade and dispute that involved fines and tampering
allegations and all the works, all because of Lebron's pursuit
to want to land another big players so he can
go try and win another title. So this idea that

(01:40:12):
Magic Johnson's gonna get together and hug them all and say, man,
I love you guys, I love you. You're this, You're that,
You're you're assuming every one of those players is gonna
look at Magic Johnson and say, oh, man, all is forgiven. Yeah,
you're right. That was all just to me. That was
all made up. If it was all made up, why
does he feel the need to go publicly and announce
that he's going to meet with them to apologize and

(01:40:34):
talk to them about it. I mean, like, you gotta
look at this thing, and and and and take it
all in and take in every sort of emotion that
comes along with it. Because the thing about the NBA,
we agree, there's egos, it's a player driven league, all
that stuff. But as much as we embrace the idea
of Lebron introducing this player power and this player mobility

(01:40:57):
and all this stuff to the n B a like
there is, it's not like everybody's into that. Like we
we assume that these young players fawn over guys like
Lebron and Kyrie and all these players, But how do
we know these young players don't want their own legacy?
Like I mean, we assume that, you know, guys on

(01:41:18):
the Celtics got there, they're gonna love the idea of
playing with Kyrie Irving. Yeah, until we find out that
he doesn't like playing with those young players and he'll
only sign in Boston if they get Anthony Davis. And
then how much do they really like playing with him?
I mean, yeah, man, these guys love Lebron James growing up,
and then all of a sudden you meet your hero
and you find out he wants to trade you for

(01:41:39):
Anthony Davis in the off season. How much do you
really want to play with your hero after that. Like,
I just I don't know, Like we we assume that
everybody looks at Lebron and and Magic and Kyrie the
same way we do because we're fans or were media members.
These guys are the best of the best basketball players

(01:41:59):
try to get better, you know, Like they don't look
at it from a fanboy aspect like many of us do.
Like they look at it differently their competitors. Oh you
want to trade me. Oh I'm not good enough to
play with you. Bleep you, I'm not good enough to
be on your team. Oh you can relate to me.

(01:42:20):
You know what it's like to be traded. You never
got traded. I just think we look at it more
from through our eyes and less from their eyes and
their point of view. It's like somebody told me this
in sales one time. They said, if you're trying to
sell somebody something, don't use your wallet when trying to

(01:42:40):
sell them. Meaning if you pitch a price to somebody
and and they ask you how much is this worth,
and you've got to tell them five thousand dollars, Yeah,
five thousand dollars is a lot to you, But don't
think about your wallet, think about their wallet, because if
you go to throw them a price and you said,
they say, hey, how much just that worth? And you

(01:43:00):
go five thousand dollars, Like they can tell you're not
confident in talking that kind of money. But it's because
that's a lot of money to you. But that doesn't
mean it's a lot of money to them. There's a
lot of people out there. That's what they spend monthly
on their business. Yeah, they no, five thousand. That works
for me. You can't look at your own wallet when

(01:43:22):
when talking about this stuff, Like it's almost like we're
looking at our own wallet talking about Magic Johnson and
Lebron James and Kyrie Irving and all these great players.
And like, man, these guys think differently there in the
league too, Like they want to they want to have
their own legacy. They want to do their own thing.

(01:43:42):
Now it's like moving out of your parents house. Like
we appreciate it, but man, I want to be able
to like, you know, do what do what the hell
I want to do with my own home, Like I
you know, I appreciate what you guys did, but I'd
like to start my own life like that, my own family.
I just think we look at these things the wrong way,
and I think the idea that magic gonna go and
smooth things over and hug everybody, it's gonna be okay.

(01:44:03):
I just I think there's more to it than that.

got what We've got somebody in the NFL who apparently

(01:44:29):
if they haven't learned their lesson all right, Like sometimes
you go to say something and you go to have
it makes sense, and then you realize it doesn't make
any sense, and then they just continue to try and
correct it and correct it and correct it. They should
have just never said it in the first place. We'll
get to that next year on Fox Sports Radio. But
for all the latest, it's rolb Irman. Well, thank you

(01:44:51):
very much, Jonas, and we do start in it in
the NBA where Oklahoma City was twenty six points down
in the first half playing at Houston against the rock
It's and they came all the way back to win
one s one twelve. Russell Westbrook with his ninth straight
game with a triple double. That does tie an NBA record.
See if he can follow that up in the next game. Meanwhile,

(01:45:13):
earlier in the day, the Clippers down twenty eight points
on the road at Boston and they come back to
win one twenty three one twelve. A couple of back
to back Bologne games for the Celtics. Donovan Mitchell with
three points Utah one oh five win over San Antonio.
Not a good night for Milwaukee. They don't get us
on the floor and they don't get a win, falling

(01:45:35):
to Orlando one o three eight three Toronto right behind
them in the East. They shut off their new center,

Saturday was the daybut of the Alliance of American Football.
It was football. Orlando crushed Atlanta for six. Steve spur Your,
the old ball coach, with his debut shown he still
knows how to run an offense. San Antonio not so
much offense. They did beat San Diego, thought to six,
we'll have more coming up. I was. I was actually

(01:46:18):
gonna ask you at some point, is the a F
Is that legitimate enough to be included in the national
sports updates? I think so because it is tacitly endorsed
by the NFL. Well, it's better than that a Pebble
Beach pro am, that blowheart event they do every year
where you get a bunch of celebrities like I saw
one year Justin Timberlake was dancing with somebody. Everyone's like,

(01:46:39):
this is so cool with great television. Is the worst
golf tournament to watch in the world because it made
me six. It has two purposes to show Pebble Beach
and the show celebrities. It makes me makes me physically ill,
physically like nobody's like, you know, like Ralph, you're not
a golf guy, but nobody's got the I'm not the
true appreciation for golf of like I do, are you

(01:47:02):
smoking again? Just I'm just saying, Ralph, I mean I'm

In about twelve minutes from now here on fs are,
I'm gonna tell you why what seems to be a
good idea is actually not a good idea for the
NFL that's coming up twelve minutes from now. But right
now it's time for this Jonas, how could you not

(01:47:45):
get to? These stories? Are the scraps? And for that
we turn it back over to the most violent man
in sports talk radio, Ralph Irvan who I believe we
have a technical glitch, Ralph, because isn't your scraps background
music supposed to be the cannonball Run? It is? All right?
Well look at it? Too late, too late, cannonbar run

(01:48:08):
is dog? What do we got row? Well, let's start
in Indianapolis with our old friend Jim Mersa. I'm a
I'm a rainmaker, guys, guys, jesus, he was back on Twitter,
and he tweets the goat standard for NFL teams is simple.

(01:48:29):
And I've discussed the seeming seemingly impossible goal with many
in NFL circles over the last half of a century,
three World championships in a row. No one's done it.
I just I don't understand. Honest to God, I wonder.
I would love to ask if Jim Mercy is listening

(01:48:50):
to this. Jim, just between you and I, nobody's listening. Um,
tell your dog to get off Twitter, seriously, Like it
doesn't make any sense. Man. It's almost like he rolled
over and just tweets a bunch of gibberish and we're
supposed to assume that it's like a deep thought. Like
I think he's the same guy who tweets out like
song lyrics from time to time. Yeah, I don't know

(01:49:12):
if he's like smoking weed or just like a bottle
of bourbon in his crotch and he's just like like
tweeting and taking a sip and tweeting and taking a sip.
But for God's sakes, man, it doesn't even make sense
half the time. Good. I don't know about any of that.
I'm not here to I'm not here too to go

(01:49:32):
down that really. Look, I mean it was his trash bag,
it was the back of his car. It's not my
not my It's not my place to be critical of
Jimmer saying that regard. I just did like some of
the stuff that he tweets is very bizarre. It doesn't
make any sense. And then he shows up in the
locker room and he's like, like, it sounds like sloth
from the Goonies. It's just like, what are you doing? Man?

(01:49:55):
What else you got? Ralph? Well, you're you are historian
and a great broadcast fan, and you know about Warner Wolf,
the great broadcaster. He was arrested this week in Florida
for removing letters from a sign at his private gated community.
You see, he lives in Classics Plantation Estates and decided,

(01:50:17):
you know what, I don't like Plantation being there. So
he climbed in the fountain and started taking the letters off. Okay,
he felt it was racist. He just now came to
that conclusion, like that just it just now occurred to
him at eighty one years of age. He decided that yes,

(01:50:40):
that would be the case. They like like walking around
with a with a skid mark at the back of
here white jeans for two weeks, and then he realized, Yeah,
something seems off about this. I don't know, maybe I
should I should get rid of that. Something seems off
about this. He just now that now came to that conclusion. Interesting,
doesn't I don't? All right? Well, was he drunk too?

(01:51:05):
That's the thing is, I'm not seeing any report of
him being drunk. In fact, he he climbed into the fountain,
used a tool to take down the word, and then
he drove up to the gate at the community and
handed the security card the broken letters. Guys. By the way,
speaking of not being drunk, I saw a guy at
a bar, two guys they ordered od duels. Okay, what's

(01:51:31):
the point. It's like going to a strip club in
a strait jacket. What's the point. It's like going to
a bad strip club in a straight jack. Now, Like, honestly, what,
like what do you what do you get no duels for?
I mean I get it, like, you know, I like that.
What do you like the taste of beer but you
don't want the alcohol? It's like decalf coffee. I mean,
like like nobody eats a sandwich still in the zip

(01:51:54):
block bag. Like, come on, man, what else we got? Ralph?
The sandwich and the ziplock bag? Sorry that that was
a view where do I oh duels? Come on, man,
well we'll stay in Florida and we'll go to Madera Beach,
where city Commissioner Nancy Oakley has submitted her resignation. She

(01:52:17):
did that on Tuesday, insisting though she was innocent, innocent
of what we ask, Well, the Florida Commission on Ethics
find her five thousand dollars in January. Okay, why well,
because she had allegedly sexually harassed a city manager by
licking his face and groping him in a public event.

(01:52:41):
She licked up the side of his neck and face,
and then groped his crotch and buttocks. When the city
manager's executive assistant said his actions were inappropriate, well, she
threw a punch at the woman. You see, she has
quote a habit of licking man that either she was
attracted to or thought she had authority over a rex

(01:53:05):
Ryan smells feet, So we all got fetishes, right, he continued.
She starts here and goes all the way up to
the point where you can't stand it. Anymore. And that's
after consuming enough alcohol and smoking enough cigarettes. End quote
really beautiful feet Now that that was Andy Ferman? What

(01:53:26):
Rex Ryan? Um? So she gets drunk, smoke cigarettes and
then licks people's faces that would be men's face, men's face,
Sorry about that? Uh yeah, I mean look if she
shops down both aisles and we got another conversation to have.
So she licks men's faces after she gets liquored up,

(01:53:47):
no fun intended, um, and then smoke cigarettes. Yeah that's
the story. Now, Uh is she single? We've played this
game before, Jonas of let's rate the star of of
of a scrap story or we'll just say that this

(01:54:09):
one stays in the Laura, what do you mean around? Hey? Look?
Um yeah, at least she's got some aggression to her.
At least she's a go getter, you know, like why
why ray? You know, like a why wait around for
somebody to pick you up? I don't know if she's
a go get her or go get him, but whatever,
that's why right you're talking about Matt Nobody's wife. Trust me,
If that's what I mean, get out of here. Just

(01:54:32):
to like imagine, there are certain like people do weird
things sometimes in public weird things and they don't think
that they're weird. Like you ever walked into a men's
restroom and a guy's using the urinal and his pants
are down around his ankles. I think he's called a drunk. No,
I know, I think he's called like it happens from

(01:54:53):
time to time. It's very bizarre. And then you see
some of those guys at the jim who just lift
up one pant leg. They don't even pull their their
shorts down. They just lifted up the short leg and
they just go down. They use they take a leak
uh through the pant leg. It's weird, Like there's like
certain people wouldn't stories well, no, I mean there's there's

(01:55:14):
there's just weird. There's weird behavior that that that happens
in public places that I don't think people. I think
people I don't know how they were raised. But like
the other one, I don't understand why did guys flush
the urinal mid stream? Why wouldn't you wait until after

(01:55:34):
you're done? Like what are you making a cocktail? I
don't know, yeah, like what are you doing? Like it
was this like Tom Cruise at a TGI Friday's where
he's like like throwing bottles in the air. Like watch this.
Not only can I can I pee, but I can
also flush a toilet at the same time, and look

(01:55:56):
how they blend together. No, that's what you do it afterwards. Man. Well,
there's one other thing I've noticed in in male restrooms
that sports talk host taking notes of what guys are
doing so we can talk about them on the air.
It's bizarre, Ralph, It's got to be discussed. Listen, I
guarantee you. When I brought up a guy at the
urinal who's got his pants down around his ankle, there
are people driving around around going I know exactly what

(01:56:18):
he's talking about. Yeah, and he's three courts in. By
the way, I was at a urinal next to Andy
Ferman one time and Ferman said to me, Hey, get
a little of my watch. He's a liar. The thing
is you already were I will say that lady is

(01:56:39):
probably she just want to make all those guys her
boy toy, you know, like she had as she had
authority over them. We've moved past the woman licking human beings,
all right. Can you imagine how smelly her breath is
if she smoked a bunch of SIGs. She's just licking
you and whispering dirty things in your ear. It's discussed.
It's like, uh, it's like your dog kissing you after

(01:57:00):
he eats out of a KOI pond. Gross. All right, thanks.
Ralph Jonas knocks here Fox Sports Radio, coming to you
Alive from the Geikiel Fox Sports Radio Studio's coming up next. Uh,
there's something in the NFL you don't like, but I'm
telling you Without it, the game won't be the same.
I'll tell you what that is next here n fs
are Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio, coming to you Alive

(01:57:22):
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. Uh, an NFL
idea that I'm telling you is not a good one.
Trust me. I'll explain coming up here momentarily. Um. They
sent over the picture. Ralph Irvan and the scraps did
a story about a city commissioner who gets drunk and

(01:57:44):
licks people. I guess that's like her fetish and somebody
sent me over a picture of her and uh, she
looks like Mickey Rourke off the Wrestler. It's a man
faith faith. I don't it. I mean it is. It's alarming.

(01:58:08):
I that is Uh, it's got to be a costume.
It just has to be like it's a man faith
faith man. That's It's something I don't know, but but
she will lick your face. So if you missed that
story in that breakdown, you can listen to the podcast
at Fox Sports Radio dot com and you can hear

(01:58:29):
us discuss a woman who uh smokes cigarettes and licks
human beings. Um. Wow, all right, so there's that uh
Andy Furman Brian now are coming up less than ten
minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio. Andy Furman
with the breaking news that nobody cares about, which is
a Sunday morning tradition here that Marvin Lewis makes his

(01:58:51):
broadcasting debut today with the a F. Cool I chewed
gum once when I was ten, big deal, But he
cares about Marvin Lewis stuff, force feeding Cincinnati headlines to
the nation. Andy, screw you, but but in all seriousness.
So the a F the h American Allegiance of Football

(01:59:14):
or it sounds like a professional wrestling organization, but they
so they've got this uh this league that they've started up,
and the reaction is everybody was was impressed with it.
On Saturday. One of the things that they liked is
the transparency of the replay and how they go through
the process of changing a call and take off. We
love the transparency of it. Man, I'm telling you there's

(01:59:35):
something to the big reveal. Boxing tried to do this
years ago to where the WBC was announcing the score
of the fight on judges scorecards in between rounds, and
it seemed like the greatest idea in the world until
you got to the end of the fight and there
was no big reveal because everybody knew what the score was.
There's it's flawed, I get it. But the way the

(01:59:58):
NFL does it to where you have no idea until
they make the call, I think that's the way to go.
It's the element of surprise. It adds a little spice
to it. It's not the greatest thing in the world,
but I just think it's the element of surprise, and
I prefer that. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio thanks to
Sam Vince, Thanks to Ralph firm No next, Jonas Son
