Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. So what is seemingly
a really really bad situation in the NFL, as it
turns out, surprisingly is not bad for everybody. I'll tell
you what that is coming up here in just a
couple of minutes, Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can

one point in time, maybe currently you've been on a diet,
or you've been watching what you eat, and then somebody
at work or somebody at the house orders pizza. So
you slip up and you have a slice. Come on,

(01:04):
one slice, not gonna kill anybody, one one slice. You
cheat a little bit, all right, But here's the question
for you, do you eat half the slice and throw
the back half away, meaning like do you holding it?
You get to about halfway and then you just toss
the rest of the trash. No, you compromise, and the
compromise you've made is one slice. The smart thing to

(01:24):
do would be to throw the back half away. It's
got the crust, the most bread, most carbs, but you
have settled on the slice. That's the compromise. The New
York Giants head coach Pat Shermer made an announcement on Friday.
He let it be known on Friday who is going

(01:47):
to be his starting quarterback moving forward. There's a change
of quarterback on the table in your mind. No, well,
we believe in Eli. You know the guys behind, So
Kyle and Alex are both working and improving. They're working
each trying to get themselves ready to play. So there's
no reason to discuss that right now. Yeah, well, yeah,
I mean that that was the compromise. I mean, you

(02:09):
don't bench Eli Manning. Now you're already halfway through the slice.
What are you doing. No, there's don't even bother asking.
You will because it's New York, But don't even bother asking.
You've already made the compromise. You're not benching Eli Manning now.
You don't turn your back on him now. You decided
on another slice of Eli Manning last December when you
fired Ben McAdoo, because how dare he broached the idea

(02:33):
of Eli Manning being benched for a game at Oakland
when you were a dog gass team at the time.
How dare you even consider benching Eli Manning? So what
do you do? You punish Ben McAdoo for it. You
blew out members of the front office. Everybody's gone. You

(02:55):
were halfway through. I mean, come on, you're not benching
him now. You decided on another slice of Eli Manning
at the draft in April when you took Sae Kwon Barkley.
You had every other quarterback on the table outside of
Baker Mayfield. You don't turn your back on Eli Manning now.
You had your opportunity. The Giants had multiple opportunities the

(03:18):
last ten months to put the pizza down, but they
committed to half of it last December, and they committed
to finishing the second half in the draft in April.
Bottom line, Pat Shermer can say he's sticking with Eli now,
but that decision was made months ago. We all saw
what happened on Thursday night. We all watched it, We've
all listened to the fallout on all day. On Friday,

(03:41):
we just heard Pat Shermer proclaim no change of quarterback.
It's a waste of time. We all knew that that
decision was made months ago. But here's the thing. Not
every situation in the NFL that seems to be bad
is bad for everybody. Like you could just take that
game on Thursday night, for example, and say, man, the

(04:02):
Giants looked awful. You know, look pretty good, Carson Wentz. Man,
Carson Wentz coming off of banged up a c L
multiple ligaments in his knee torn up, look pretty good, Alshon,
Jeffrey rounding back into form. But let's keep it in
New York. Let's keep it with the New York Giants.
You know who looks good in all of this? For
as bad as Eli Manning looks and as bad as

(04:23):
the Giants do, you want to know who looks good
in all this? Odell Beckham's Jr. Because I laugh when
I hear people criticize O'Dell and his behavior. First off,
you have no idea what the hell is going on on?
The sidelines radio is a soundproof glass. Somebody walking by
the Fox Sports Radio studios right now could look in

(04:45):
at any point during a segment and assume that I
was possibly overdosing on meth by how I'm shaking and
moving my hands. Because they can't hear anything coming out
of my mouth. They just see it and they assume
that it's bad. So we have no idea what's going
on on the sidelines. We see the outburst, we see

(05:07):
all the uh, the anger that he is perceived to
be expressing. We have no idea what's being said. We
have no idea what's going back and forth. Well, it's
bad optics. It's terrible optics. It's a bad look for
Odell Beckham Jr. Hold on a second. If I were
a head coach and you gave me the option, all right,

(05:27):
maybe your best player on your team, all right, he
can do one of two things. Either A he can
scream at and punch a swamp cooler on the sidelines.
By the way, swamp cooler is the term that poor
people use for air conditioning. Right, if you are wealthy
and you grew up with an air conditioning, you have
no idea what a swamp cooler is I grew up

(05:48):
with a swamp cooler, all right. So you could either
have your best player yell and punch a swamp cooler
on the sideline, or option b head coach anywhere in football,
you could have your best player scream at multiple assistant
coaches and throw things while he does it, using f
bombs the whole time. Which would you rather take? Oh yeah,

(06:10):
I'd much rather have him yelled at that swamp cooler. Okay,
because Tom Brady yells at assistant coaches. Tom Brady yells
at coordinators. I don't have an issue with either one.
I don't care. I'm not so much of an optics
guy because unless you hear what's being said, you have
no idea what's going on. So I don't care that
Tom Brady had a conversation with with his assistant coaches.

(06:33):
I'm not sensitive like that. People yelling doesn't get me nervous.
People yelling and throwing things doesn't make me cower down
and think, God, he's a really bad guy. No, they're
just piste off at the time. It's an excitable game.
Everybody gets piste off, so I'm not even bothered by it.
But for the Odell Beckham hot takers. He already got paid, right,

(06:57):
This isn't his contract year, right, The organization has already
committed to him, right, So this isn't a bad look
on Odell Beckham Jr. He got his cash. And the
more becomes obvious that Eli Manning is a shot fighter
and that they can't get Odell Beckham the ball downfield,

(07:17):
the less blame Odell Beckham is gonna take. And the
more you'll understand, the more you'll look at the situation
and go, yeah, you know, I kind of be tough
to be a wide receiver there. I guess I get it.
I guess I kind of understand it. It would be
kind of a tough thing to watch. It would be

(07:38):
kind of kind of tough to to deal with that
as a wide receiver. When you're dependent on another position
on the field to get you the football and they
physically or aren't can't do it or not capable of
doing it based on the playbook, that's not an Odell
Beckham problem. Like you remember when you were a kid,
your brother and sister kept picking on you. You tell

(08:00):
your parents, but you never had proof until the one
time they got caught in the act and you were like, see, see,
it didn't matter how much pain you're in. It didn't
matter that they had been pelting you with legos for
fifteen minutes straight and you were bruised up all over
your arm. None of that mattered. You could be in

(08:20):
the middle of a complete sobbing sobbing fest where you're
a mess and you've got boogers running down your face.
It doesn't matter the fact that somebody finally saw what
you had to deal with made everything better. Mom and
Dad saw it. Tears gone. I'm a happy camper. They're
in trouble, they're gonna get a spanking. This is a
good day for me. You forget all about that pain.

(08:42):
That's where Odell Beckham is at right now. The worst
Eli Manning plays, the worst Eli Manning looks, the more
you start to empathize with what Odell Beckham Jr. Is
dealing with. That played out nationally on Thursday night in
front of everybody, so more people we could see what
is really going on in New York as opposed to

(09:04):
what they think has been going on there. And now
it's trailed into Friday and the conversation will continue all
throughout the course of the season. I'm telling you you
can focus on Odell Beckham. You can call him a
locker room cancer. You could say he shouldn't be acting
this way, he shouldn't be acting that way. But the
more that you sit back and you actually watch what's

(09:25):
around him, the more you can understand what's going on.
That is a bad situation in the NFL, but it's
not bad for everybody. It's a terrible look for Eli Manning.
It's why I said a week ago of Eli Manning's
last name was Smith or Rockefeller or uh Eli Knox,

(09:49):
he wouldn't be the starting quarterback in New York anymore.
But that organization made a choice multiple times over the
last ten months. There was no need for Pat Shermer
to come out and say, yeah, Eli still my starting
quarterback outside of him being asked, because the organization already
made that decision months ago. And as bad as that looks,
it's not a bad look on Odell Beckham Jr. Because

(10:10):
now you get to see what he deals with. Now
you get to watch and see why he gets frustrated,
why he yells his swamp coolers, why he punches things,
and why he's a hothead. From time to time eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox Jonas Knocks Fox Sports
Radio eight seven seven three six nine. You can also

(10:33):
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks as we
come to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio Studios. Um coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio.
There is something that fans deal with, all right. You
deal with this all the time, and I have no
idea how you put up with it. I honestly cannot
figure it out how you put up with this. I'll

(10:54):
explain what that is next year on Fox Sports Radio
Jonas Jonas Knocks, Fox Radio, coming to you alive from
the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. By the way, is
there one Allison Chains song that doesn't have the word
dye in it? Yes? You realized? I love Alison Jade's man,

(11:17):
good Christ. You want to get depressed? Read read some
of the lyrics from an Allison Chain song if you
want to get depressed. Man, that's some dark stuff. All right. So,
um so caught up here in just a couple of
minutes here on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know how
people deal with it. I, honest to God, do not
know how people deal with it. It's actually a credit

(11:37):
to fans because I remember what it's like and I'm
glad I'm not there anymore. So we'll explain what that
is coming up here momentarily on Fox Sports Radio. Do
you want to let you know that we are brought
to you by Geico? What does it mean when Geico
says just fifteen minutes could save you fifteen per center
more on car insurance? And me, you probably should have
gone to Geico dot com fifteen minutes ago. Um, all right,
so let's welcome to the crew. They're gonna be writing

(11:59):
Shotgun with me and Hill six am Eastern Time here
on Fox Sports Radio, Ladies and gentlemen, our technical producer.
He ran and tiptoed between the rain drops to get
in here and fire away on the board. He is Iowa, Sam.
I had to incorporate a little bit of a rain

(12:19):
song into uh into our rejoin here because you were drenched. Well.
I also took a shower because I got here a
little late. I did run in at the last second,
and uh, I was flying here and when it's raining
in l A and you're trying to drive fast, it's
a combination for probably an accident. But I did not care.
I was rolling all right. Yeah, that's good and so
very safe out there. So there are people. So for

(12:40):
the hard and hard working men and women of the
California Highway patrol Um, just look out for Iowa Sam.
His license plate is crop Circle one alright cross and
that's where you can find him. Oscar Meyer mobile. He
drives a John Deere. That's where you can find got

(13:01):
that thing. Up to fifteen is when it rains out here,
have you become soft like you're not used to the
cold weather? No? I love it. I just was. I
was taking a little nap. I I like, I look
outside and like, oh my, it's really coming down for
l a geez. I loved it. Man. I've talked to
Brady Quinn about this. He figured he's told me because
he grew up in Ohio and he grew up with
you know, cold and snow and all that stuff in Ohio,

(13:24):
and so now he lives in South Florida and he's
just not used to it. He can't deal with it. Well,
it rains all the time in South yeah, but I
mean like the cold weather, like you know, the weather
that you're dealing with growing up. So listen if it's
snowed and went down to twenty five degrees here and
it's snowed in l A. I I probably die. I
probably just perish on So I take my shirt off
like we could do, would literally do the ship like anarch.

(13:44):
It looked like I had a shot glasses on my chest.
I didn't imagine that. All right, Um, Kevin Figures is
your national love here at Fox Sports Radio. He is
the voice. He is the voice of l A Sports Radio.
L A Sports Radio. The scene of a familiar crime,

(14:04):
and that crime is Clayton Kershaw in the postseason, Clayton Kershaw,
who has routine every October morphed into a gas can
on National TV and was lit uh about Jonas he
only has an e r RA of like five and
a half in NLCS games. It's not that bad, it's
actually I don't it's it's unbelievable. Every single year. This

(14:30):
happens every year and at least one game and one series.
Here's the thing. I don't think it's a matter of Wow,
you know, he doesn't have his best stuff. You know,
he didn't know he's got good stuff. He always has
good stuff. It's I think he gets so amped up
that he's just he's just a little bit off and
then it just all comes undone. It always happened. It

(14:51):
takes one better. I was at the game they had
Game one against the St. Louis Cardinals. This was probably
about your years at the game one tonight, and you
got all the way back from l A from Millwall.
I'm believe it transportation there by Kevin figures. I was
taking that ned high speed bullet train that a few
people know about it. You know, it's awesome. Game one

(15:11):
when they hosted the St. Louis Cardinals, I believe the
Dodgers had like a seven to one lead going into
the fifth inning, and it just fell apart for Kershaw.
He was cruising and all of a sudden, I think
Matt Adams it's a double or something, and then it
just all crumbled after that, out of nowhere, he has
like one bad hitter. He hits, a guy, walks, a guy,
gives up a single, and then it all just crumbles.
And to your point, it happens every single season. Game

(15:32):
five of the World Series last year, he had a
four run lead, blew it. Dodgers gave him a three
run lead after that, and he blew that too in
the same game. So it's between the years with him
and it always has been, yes, But the good thing
is he's always really nice to deal with. Yeah, one
of the nicest. Come on, I mean, just having a
conversation here on Fox Sports Radio. Not gone forbid, not

(15:54):
chappy at all, God forbid, especially after a loss. I mean,
you know, kept we're on the with the Dodgers A
M five seventy l A sports. Um. Yeah, listen, they're
going and the Dodgers. When when I do finally pay
off this tease that I promised the Dodgers, it is
it is partly because of that. So we will get
to that here at momentary. By the way, we have
to roll out the red carpet and everybody part onto

(16:16):
the side because we have a winner in the house,
and that winner is Mike the Night Mayor, who last
week our executive producer here on Fox Sports Radio, we
had the game guess Odell Beckham's meltdown. Mike Mayor projected
the Eagles on Thursday night and Mike Mayer, you are
a winner, Mayor on the board. That's like my first

(16:40):
winning like two years on this show. Damn straight, Mike Mayer,
guess the Odell Beckham meltdown and you got it correct
one game after you got it correct. How about that?
Either dumb luck or I'm actually like nostro damis or
something like that. Just a dynamite job by Mike Bayer.
I mean he's from Cleveland. All he knows is winning.
At this point, the cat is there always a winning.

(17:01):
The Browns have two wins, the Lake Erie monsters want
a title a few years ago. This is incredible, and
now you just want the guests the Odell Beckha meltdown. Uh,
and you've got a spot on in the very next game,
So congratulations. So you can tweet at off the Mike
and send him your congratulations, especially you Giants fans. A
very negative spin on Odell Beckham story from Mike Mayor

(17:23):
last week, and it pays off. There you go, all right,
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. Okay, Um, one of the
perks to not being in the fan chair anymore is
that you don't have to really let certain things outside
of your control run your life. You don't have to
deal with it anymore. Um, And that's something that you

(17:46):
don't truly appreciate until you're now. Grass is greener on
every side. I get all that, and you know, like
there's certain aspects to it that are really cool, but
when you're not in the fan chair anymore, and I decided,
if I was really going to do this, that I
didn't want to sound like a fanboy on the radio
because that pisces me off. I'm not gonna sit here
and wave pom pomps from my favorite teams growing up.
I'm not gonna be an apologist for some team. I'm

(18:08):
just not gonna do it. I'm not gonna be a
kiss ass, right. They don't. They don't write my checks,
they don't pay my bills, They've never done anything to me.
They would probably try and sleep with my girlfriend if
they had the opportunity to. I'm not going to kiss
their ass on the air. Not doing it. It's just
not happening. And so I decided that a long time ago.
And but along with that, and the truth be told,

(18:29):
I'd rather attend an event as a fan than as
a media member, because I do think it's enjoyable to
kind of sit back and and get to watch and
just relax, like you don't need to be you know,
as long as they're good seats. I'm not gonna sit
in the nosebleeds. I really don't want to do that
because I don't trust my balance, especially after a few drinks.
But the only thing that still gets me going, that's
still I steal like I can still feel it, and

(18:52):
I still get hyped up about and still get energized
and I have that nervous energy. The only events that
really do that for me from now on are big fights,
UFC events, boxing events, And it's not even from the
fan perspective per se, because I just just the tension
and the fact that it's it is the most truth

(19:14):
telling sports that there are. I mean, every other sport
is turns to boxing or turns to M M A
as their metaphor you get knocked down, you gotta get
back up, you gotta like we hear all that stuff.
It all goes back to those sports. So I still
feel it for them, right, I still feel for them.
But as a fan, playoff Baseball, I commend Baseball fans,

(19:42):
the Brewer fans, the Dodger fans who are watching on
Friday night in advance. I commend Astro fans and Red
Sox fans who are gonna be watching on Saturday Night.
I give you, I commend you. You have my respect,
because I don't know how the f you deal with it.
I have no idea. It is so stressful. It is

(20:03):
so over the top. Every time they pan into the crowd.
You see somebody in like on Friday Night, in like
a throwback Robin Yount Jersey with cheese kurds sticking out
of his ears because he was he just didn't know
what to do with his hands in the food in
front of him, so he couldn't handle himself with vomit
running down the front of his shirt. I don't know

(20:25):
how fans deal with it. The constant stress of baseball.
It is so long, and there are so many pitching changes,
especially the Brewers, when like you're starting relievers, you're starting
pitcher is going two innings and that was the plan.
Like I mean, like every like there's so many twists

(20:46):
and turns in a baseball game and I'm watching it,
and I swear to God, I always watch a sporting
event and I think, all right, what's my biggest takeaway?
Like that's how like if I'm prepping for the show,
what's my biggest takeaway? What do I take from that
that we could have some fun with. And my biggest
takeaway watching Brewers and Dodgers, well, I mean there's the
Clayton Kershaw stuff, which we will get into. I'm sure
Dodger fans are looking forward to that at some point

(21:08):
here during the show. But my biggest takeaway is, man,
I almost wish that these people who are watching these
games can live a stress free baseball game. Just appreciate
a stress free baseball game, because it's too much. Man,
you're exhausted afterwards. I remember it. I remember it being

(21:29):
a fan and being so caught up in the emotion
that afterwards, even if you win, you're exhausted. I gave
up drinking during fights because I noticed something when I
would watch a boxing match or a UFC fight, because
I love the sports so much, you get so wrapped

(21:51):
up into it, and if it's a really good fight,
you're not really paying attention to how much you're drinking
because you're you know, I'm scoring the five eight, or
I'm I'm you know, watching this, or admiring a combination
by somebody, or or listening to the broadcasters, and you're
so enthralled and you don't realize how hammered you are

(22:11):
until there's a minute in between rounds and I get
up to go use the bathroom after the seventh round,
and I know I've only got a minute, so it's
only gonna be a halfway job, you know what I mean,
Like you got to stop it and then go back
after the next round. It's probably not healthy for you,
but it's just the way it's got to be. And
you go to stand up to do that, and you
almost fall over because you don't realize, oh my god,

(22:33):
I've had like nine beers in six rounds because the nerves. Man.
I don't I don't think fans, honest to god, I
don't think we give all the credits to athletes, and
they deserve it, and they deserve to be paid, and
they deserve plaques and honors and all of that stuff.
They're putting their bodies on the line. I don't think

(22:54):
that fans get enough, get enough credit for having to
sit through something that they have no control over, absolutely
no control over. A lot of people are making a
big stink about these cars that drive themselves. Yeah, by
the way, you know these cars drive themselves. Now, Oh
you're worked up about that? Huh? Yeah. I mean, we
have no control over our cars anymore. I got news

(23:15):
for you. You have no control over whether or not
Clayton Kershaw is gonna give up seven home runs in
a game. But you watch every time, and you sit
through it every time, and you go through the motions
every single time, and you have no control over it,
no control. It's just I'm watching it on Friday. I
don't know how people deal with it. I really don't.

com call eight seven Auto. The only hard part figuring
out which way is easier. Coming up in about twelve

(25:25):
minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio. There is
so there's a cute spin that's being made about an
NFL story. Like there's a really cute spin being done.
It's a spin job. If you will, I'll tell you why.
Don't buy into it. A lot of it is overblown.
That's coming up twelve minutes from now here on Fox
Sports Radio. Right now, it is time for a segment

(25:46):
we do on the show called this. There's so many
stories in the world of sports, and most of them
are a complete waste of time DMZ reports, Let's get kinky.
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.
But Jonas, the real question is do you care? So
for this, we turn it over to our executive producer,

(26:07):
Mike Mayer, who has got some hot topics that have
popped up on your radio or your television screen over
the past several days in the world of sports. I
will have the final say in all of them. Ha ha. Mike,
what do we got? All right, let's start off with
something that just came down recently. Uh, this is a
result of the Milwaukee Brewers winning game one of the NLCSS,

(26:30):
you guys pointed out, But it was significant for this
reason because Wisconsin Burger change. George Webb is going to
be giving out free hamburgers because the Brewers now have
a twelve game winning streak in one game one of
the NLCS. So, Jonas, do you care? I? I actually
do care, And here's why, because I have no idea
what the f George Webb is? What is honest to god,

(26:51):
I've never I've never heard of that place in my
entire life. I have never George Webb could walk in
here with a name placard on that says HI, I'm
George Web and hand me at cheeseburger and I'd have
no idea who the f he is? So is that
I don't know? But but I really, I really do.
I want to know more about because I do want
to get into this later because I am fascinated by

(27:12):
stuff by this like this, because it works every single time,
But does it really? You know, like you're kind of
setting a bad precedent so yeah, I actually do care
a little bit. In fact, we're gonna get into it
later on here in the show. Next alright, okay, next
one here. This was interesting since we always have to
seemingly talk about Lebron James. A report from Sam Amick
says that Kobe Bryant actually advised Genie Buss to reconstruct

(27:36):
the front office, including firing her own brother and firing
the cup Check, in order to attract Lebron James. Jonas
Do you care? Yeah? I could not care less, man.
This is I am so fed up with Laker talk.
I'm so tired of it, force feeding different angles and
different stories and different reports. Hey, we get it, acre

(28:00):
Beat writers and media members. Your team was a diaper
fire for the last five years. We got it. What
have you been holding on to stuff in your back
pockets so you can all bring it out at one time? Enough, man,
I don't need to see another mural. I don't need
to hear how about Kobe's involvement. I don't need to
hear that Magic Johnson was the one who sold Lebron

(28:20):
James on coming to l A, which is all crap.
I don't need to hear it. I'm over it stop
the seasons right around the corner. We'll see how it
plays out. Next. Al Right, this one's kind of interesting
because I know your Cubs fan, but reports came out
this week that Chris Bryant reportedly turned down a two
hundred million dollar extension from the Cubs. Jonas, do you care? Yeah,

(28:42):
not me? Come on, man, offseason cubs talk. Well, what
are we getting into the fact that they fired Chili
Davis when no one of they fired Chili Davis. You
see their bats later in the season. It was like
tennis rackets with no strings. Come on, man, cares that's hey,
you know that's a quality joke that deserves more than
a rim shot. By the way, I have to be
careful saying rim shot on the radio. Um, well, that's

(29:06):
probably not a good idea. All right, next, alright, Uh,
one of the big stories of the week Jimmy Butler.
So uh. Minnesota Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett chimed in with
in an interview with The Athletic, He said, quote, I
think both sides are a little delusional. Jonas, do you care? Yeah,
I actually do care. Uh. That just the idea of

(29:27):
a player showing up out of practice to dominate with
the third string, and it was premeditated because he already
had a sit down interview lined up for the aftermath afterwards.
This goes to show you that the NBA has gone
off the rails. It is. You want to know why

(29:48):
Kyrie Irving said, yeah, I'm signing in Boston, Because Kyrie
Irving is like, yeah, I don't. I don't want to
deal with There's so much drama. It's fun, it's exciting.
I'd rather talk about is then uh John konkact bobblehead
night at a Hawks game. But I just man, this
is juicy, It's it's bizarre, it's it's everything that is

(30:10):
today's social media, pop culture society all wrapped into one.
And it's called the NBA. Next. All right, this is
a good one here, and I think I kind of
know where this one's gonna go. But the San Francisco
forty Niners apologized for initially leaving Colin Kaepernick out of
a photo gallery celebrating the team's history against the Green
Bay Packers. Jonas, do you care? I don't give it? Yeah,

(30:33):
I don't. I agree with you. Red. This is um,
this is gonna be a really bad Monday night football game. Look,
and I'm not here to take shots on anybody. Um,
but nobody wants to tune in on Monday Night's football
and watch C. J. Beathard uh take on Aaron Rodgers
while he's wearing force Gumps braces. Okay, nobody wants to

(30:57):
watch this man like just such a non story to
try and get Kaepernick's name back into it. I just
it's done. Let's move on, everybody. We got it, we
have discussed it, we know we're all at the ratings
are back. Let's move on. Let's focus on football. Forget
about all that other stuff next. All right, I'm actually uh,
I think I kind of know the answer to this

(31:18):
one too, but I wanted to give you an opportunity
to speak on it. Uh. The main event for UFC
two thirty was announced this week. Daniel Cormier will take
on our new favorite guy, Derrick Lewis at UFC two thirty.
Yeah all uh all uh yeah Mr hot Balls, Yeah yeah,
Derek Hopball's Lewis. Yeah. Look yeah, why not? You know

(31:39):
what they needed a main event? They had a many
main event that was in place, and then they got
such negative feedback over the main event because it was
for a women's title that isn't even really a title
at this point. That they decided, all right, it's Madison
Square Garden. We gotta come up with something. When you
think Madison Square Garden, you think heavyweights. Daniel Cormier is
gonna fight. It's still you know, if he wins this fight,

(32:02):
and I think he will win because Derrick Lewis doesn't
have the cardio when he just fought a grueling fight. Uh,
then it still sets up the brock Lessner fight down
the road for Daniel Cormier. Um. The only shame of
it is that they lost Dustin Pourier and Nate Diaz
on the undercard, because that would have been an awesome
fight that we don't get to watch. But yes, I
do care about. This is gonna be a fun one,

(32:23):
all right. And then one more here for you. This
was a kind of an historic moment in the MLB postseason.
Earlier this week, Red Sox second baseman brock Holt had
the first cycle in the history of Major League Baseball's postseason. Jonas,
do you care? Don't give up? Yeah? I couldn't care
less about the cycle, man, I really don't It's like

(32:43):
I've tried to think about what the comparison would be,
and this is going to confuse everybody, But like what like,
like would you rather have a straight in cards? Or
would you rather have four of a kind? You know
what I mean? Like, isn't four of a kind more
better than a straight? Is anybody out there play cards
on the show a Sam Uh, Kevin Figures, Mike Mayor.

(33:05):
So you're asking if four of a kind is higher
than a straight? Yeah, it's four of a kind higher
than a straight. I think it's higher than four of
a kinds over a straight. Okay, so good cook. You
know what a cycle is. The cycles are straight. It's cool,
it looks cool, single, double, triple, home run, it looks cool.

(33:28):
But when a guy hits four home runs, that's that's
four of a kind. Like nothing trumps that. A straight
is nice, it's neat. It looks cool, but you know
you could you could hold up on a double when
you could really get to third. Uh, you could stretch
a single if you really needed a double. I just
I think cycles are kind of overrated. That's that's that's
the bigger picture. We probably need to tighten up my

(33:50):
analogy on the podcast if we could, we can discuss
this on the air. We'll tighten that up on the podcast,
so people listening tomorrow that are drunk right now and
can't hear this, it'll make better sense to them. So
here's that, all right, And that is that this week's
edition of Do You Care? Here on Fox Sports Radio,
Uh Jonas Knocks. You can get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knox As We come to you live here

(34:12):
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next.
This is a a cute little spine job in the NFL. Okay,
there's a team and a narrative surrounding a team and
it's all a spin. It's all a spine job, I'll
tell you because I have the proof. And that's next
year on Fox Sports Radio, Jonas Knocks, Fox Sports Radio,

(34:34):
coming to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio Studios. Coming up here in just a couple of minutes.
There is a narrative about an NFL team that just
goes to show you that people have been through a
lot there, all right? That that's that's all I'm gonna say.
There's a narrative about a team and it shows you
what those fans have been through. I'll get to that

(34:56):
here coming up in a couple of moments. Here on
Fox Sports Radio. We've got people on Twitter who are
ripping Odell Beckham, ripping him of of his head, butting
of a swamp cooler, by the way, that is not
that is not a made up thing. Swamp cooler. I
don't know if that is in anybody's vernacular. If you
grew up in a gated community, you did not deal

(35:17):
with swamp coolers. Um, but that's what I would call
You can call it a fan. But I think on
the radio that sounds like he punched like a person
who was wearing giants gear. And I don't want to
give that impression here on the radio. I'd like to
provide peace here on the show. This is a peaceful
place to be. So I would simply refer to what
he the object, Odell Beckham headbutted and punched on the

(35:39):
sidelines as a swamp cooler, all right, A swamp cooler,
which is uh what poor people used for an air conditioning. Either.
They just opened up the doors and just hope that uh,
you know, are you get one of those little circular
fans that doesn't really work. Yes that I would call
that a swamp cooler. I don't. Let's you know, let's

(36:01):
go around the room. Let's go around the room here
on Fox Sports Traded. This is we're going to bring
in the crew to find out their thoughts. Let's go
around the room. Let's go to Iowa Sam. You grew
up on a farm, Iowa Sam, air conditioner, swamp cooler
or circular fan? Would you have? Uh? Well, if I
think of a swamp cooler, I've never really heard that.

(36:21):
I think of just like a cooler for keeping your
your cheap bee or your bush light or or something
you know, you could you could keep it right there
in the water, keep it nice and cool. Your swamp
cooler not even close. But I understand it's a fan
that some kind of air condition that cools the swamp,
and the swamp could be many things, not even many things. Astually,
you could not be farther from what it is. You

(36:42):
could call it an oscillating fan too. We know what
that is. Those are like those little thirty deals. You
get a wall tropical breeze and it does nothing. It's
just a fan. Uh. Mike Mayor Mike and Nightmare executive producer. Uh,
did you have a swamp cooler and air conditioning or
did you have a circular fan? And growing up, I
was more of an air conditioning. Okay, I see Mr

(37:05):
Ritzy crowd over there, fancy fans. Yeah, I didn't have
the overhead fan, although I was. I've been in a
few houses with the old school overhead fan. We would
call him Maserati Mike, Yeah, a little bit more, Kevin
figures the voice of l a sports radio. Swamp cooler,
air conditioning or circular fan, well, all those can be

(37:27):
high rollers like Beverly Hills, you know, mayor over there.
So we didn't have air conditioning in the hold where
I grew up, So we would take one circular fan
on one side of the room and the other on
the other. It just gets some blowback between the two
of them and sit right in between. Damn straight. You
know when those came in handy, when nobody was home
and you just got out of the shower, fan out

(37:47):
with everything going downstairs, bathroom hanging right in front, right
in between those two circular fans. You just hope the
neighbors aren't looking in. Yeah, that's the move, right, And
I'll conclude um, fan talk here on Fox Sports Radio
as we go from swamp coolers to a team and
a fan base that was used to swamp cooler for

(38:09):
quite some time. UM, if I were to ask you, hey,
how the Browns looking, I just said, hey, how the
Cleveland Browns looking. What do you think of the Browns? Um,
you would say, yeah, man, I'm Brown's man. Baker Mayfield's
a real deal and the Browns are back. Man looks
like like you know, they're they're on their way. Yeah. Um,

(38:30):
Mayfield is completing under six of his passes and he's
got as many interceptions as touchdowns. Ah, and there don't
have a winning record. They've won two games. They narrowly
won a game a week ago against Baltwore. I get
that the Browns are better than they were, but this

(38:52):
whole idea that they're on the right, I mean, yeah, look,
it looks promising. It looks like things are better than
they've been there in years past. But that's the point.
Just because you go from eating albo to a hot
dog doesn't mean that you're eating good. It just means
you're eating better than you were. Like, it just means

(39:16):
that you know, for two years you were eating out
of your dog bowl, and now you've graduated to paper plates,
and not even like the good paper plates, the ones
you get at the ninety nine cent store that if
if you put a and I drop on, they dissolve.
They're basically cotton candy. Like I get that they're better

(39:37):
than they were, But let's not all of a sudden
pretend that Baker Mayfield's lighting up the league and they're
just a great football team. All of a sudden, they're
on the right path. But let's slow down with what
we're talking about. When it comes to the Cleveland Browns,
They're not here. They're not yet there. Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio coming up next here on fs ARE. This
is a dream scenario in the NFL. I'll tell you

(39:59):
what it is here on Fox Sports Radio. It's one
of the great joys in life that you all have
and you all take advantage of. And I'll explain why
it applies to one NFL team coming up here in
just a couple of minutes. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio.

(40:19):
You can listen to the show on the I Heart
Radio app. You could find us on Sirius x M
channel eighty three and on all of our Fox Sports
Radio affiliates wherever you are listening to the program right now,
We always appreciate a few minutes your time on all
three hundred plus affiliates all across the country as we
come to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio studios, where fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent

(40:42):
or more on car insurance. Visit Geico dot com for
a free rate quote. So one of the perks to
being friends with somebody for an extended period of time
is that you know what you know what triggers them.
That is a beautiful thing. That is a intoxicating power

(41:05):
to have over somebody when you know a certain thing
pisces them off. It could be a sibling, it could
be just a really really good friend that you've had
for years and years and years. And look, I acknowledge
that this is probably a guy thing. That it's mostly
guys who do this. You know, I'm not sure about women,

(41:28):
but guys definitely do do this. Guys make mental notes
of what bothers your buddy, a certain subject, an ex girlfriend, whatever,
and you keep that in your holster and you can
go to it at any time like that's and it's

(41:49):
sort of like a sick thing with guys. But if
you're a guy listening to this right now, you know
exactly what you've got on a buddy of yours, and
you know exactly what he's got on you that will
piss you off every single time time, And it's one
of the great joys that you've got because you go
to it all the time, and when the opportunity presents itself,
you're going there every single time. And we do it

(42:13):
because you showed your weakness. If you show your weakness
and it's there, we're going to take advantage of it.
So we saw on Friday night, or we saw on
Thursday night, and it was talked about all through Friday
and all through Friday night, but we watched the New
York Giants on a national stage get embarrassed by the

(42:36):
Philadelphia Eagles. And it wasn't just an X and o's embarrassment.
It wasn't just a they got be kind of bad
in that Thursday night game. They were destroyed. The game
was a disaster. Everything that could go wrong in that
football game went wrong for the New York Giants. Your

(42:58):
quarterback played like crap, your offensive line played like crap.
You're running back. Looked pretty good. But if he's so good,
why do you only have one win? Your best player
threw a tantrum on the sideline, punched a fan, headbutted
a fan, and it was all on a national stage,

(43:19):
and it was all at home in front of everybody,
so we all got to see it. We all watched,
and we all got to see the New York Giants
get pummeled. And it was all at the hands of
the Philadelphia Eagles, which makes it even worse. And so
the one thing you learn growing up with all your
good buddies, or the one thing you learn growing up

(43:41):
with your siblings is don't show them what bothers you.
Don't let him piss you off whatever you do. Don't
let him know that there's a certain thing that they
can go to despite how pissed you are or how
bad the day is or how bad the night is.
Don't let him know that you're bothered by something. Do
not let him know. And so what ended up happening

(44:07):
is Pat Shermer, six games in, has already shown his
weakness the media in New York, acting as the sibling
who has now spotted what bothers him or the good
buddy who now knows which ex girlfriend to bring up
when you really want to piss him off. The media

(44:29):
New York just gonna like every guy listening right now
has spotted the weakness of Pat Shermer, and they've already
started to go there. I just said, I'm not worried
about their effort. I'm worried. Listen, didn't he ask me
about effort? And then I said, I wasn't concerned about
their effort. Right here we go again. I wasn't concerned

(44:50):
about their effort. I'm concerned about how we executed and
how we didn't get in the end zone, and how
we let them in the end zone. You think that's
the last of that conversation, Shan, You think that's gonna
be the last time the media goes there. The media
knows what the answers are in New York. The media
New York knows that Manning is the guy and he's

(45:12):
going to be the starting quarterback barring injury. Look at
the options behind him, Alex Tanney and Kyle Loletta. Manning
is the best quarterback on the roster. The media knows
that Pat Shermer's playing the best player at the position
that he can play on the roster. The media knows it,

(45:33):
and the media loves it because he's now shown them
a weakness. There will not be a single week that
goes by that the discussion of Eli Manning and what
you do with Eli Manning doesn't come up at some
point post game every single time because Pat Shermer has
now showed his weakness. He's now shown what bothers him.

(45:56):
He's tired of talking about it, and we're six weeks in.
He's done with it. It's the difference between being a fan,
and it's the difference between between being a member of
the media. As a fan, you root for wins, you
root for teams. The media roots for interesting and they
root for outbursts. And here we are, biggest media market.

(46:20):
Your team is a total disaster. Your head coach is
already losing it, and he's already snapping post game after
a Thursday night lost to Philadelphia. And if you were
to look around sports, find me a better team there
is to cover right now in sports. Find me one.
Maybe the Minnesota Timberwolves. I mean, they're a fun team

(46:43):
to cover. You've got your best player or one of
your best players, setting up an interview, a sit down
interview with ESPN before practice, only to take the third
stringers and go beat up on the first stringer so
that he can sit down and air his grievances afterwards,
all because he didn't get traded. Like it is one

(47:08):
thing after another with Jimmy Butler. But the giants are
fascinating to cover and they're fascinating to watch because everybody's
falling apart. And so if you're Pat Shermer, the worst
thing you did, the worst thing you did on Thursday
night for your own peace of mind. The worst thing
you did was snap on the media afterwards, like just

(47:32):
play cool, be boring. They may not like it, but
you're gonna have a lot more peaceful life. Wait, get
into the locker room, get into your coach's office, throwback,
a couple of shots to Jack Daniels, whatever, cool off,
stay away, don't even don't even fall forward, don't even
bite into it. But he did, and now the media knows.

(47:54):
That's the soft spot. That's where we go every single
time you want a rattle as cage, go there. It's
one of the great things. And I know this because
I talked to people who worked in Chicago at the
time when it happened. When John Fox took over the Bears,
he took over the Bears after Mark Trestman was there.

(48:16):
Mark Trestman was a complete and total vomit bomb as
a head coach. It didn't work. They were uber talented,
they had all sorts of big names on offense, and
they were one of the worst teams in the NFL
because he completely lost the locker room. He was uh

(48:37):
busting players and yelling at them if they didn't roll
up their tape and make it into the trash can
in a timely manner. There's all sorts of bizarre storylines
to come out of there. One of his players, Jeremiah Ratliffe,
shoved an assistant coach on the ground and that week
was named a team captain for their game like it
is the stuff of legend that Mark Trustman put in.

(49:00):
And there were leaks everywhere. You had assistant coaches going
to media members and ripping j Cutler. There were leaks everywhere.
You had an assistant coach have to get up. Aaron
Cromer had to get up talk to the team and
was crying because he felt so bad for ripping his
quarterback two members of the media like it was just

(49:23):
the whole thing was like a soap opera. It was
like a reality TV show. That would have been some
hard knocks stuff there that would have been brilliant. And
so what did John Fox do when he got there?
Didn't allow cameras at certain portions of practice and training camp,
didn't talk to media members, gave boring responses, was very vague,
I mean, wanted nothing to do it, wouldn't even bite

(49:45):
into it. And the media couldn't stand it because he
didn't make their job easy. Media hated it. They crushed
John Fox. Another typical boring answer from John Fox. They
crushed him. He got bared, he got buried for it.
And it wasn't that he got buried because he was
making bad decisions or because it's just his coaching. It's

(50:08):
because he wouldn't bite and he wouldn't fall for their games.
He wouldn't feed the monster. He wouldn't do it. He
wouldn't get up tight, he wouldn't get outraged, he wouldn't
let him get him heat hot and bothered. He just
wouldn't do it. He would not show that weakness to
the media, and it piste him off, and I thought
it was incredible. I thought it was great. John Fox

(50:30):
still lives in Chicago, got all the money he needs,
loves the city of Chicago. He'll hang out at a
Cubs game and drink a beer during the summertime. He's
all good Man. Didn't let the media get him. He
played it perfectly. Pat Shermer, six weeks in, has already
shown the soft spot, and I'm telling you it's gonna
be a mess from here on out. And somebody's got

(50:51):
to talk to him, and somebody's gonna say, hey, Pat, listen,
that's what they're trying to do. Okay. They're trying to
get you to give them that stuff. They can't talk
about any good stuff on the field, so this is
all that they've got, and they're gonna go to it
time and time again. It's what they do. The media
loves it. This is the best part of covering a team.

(51:16):
You don't want eight and eight, you don't want seven
and nine. You want one in five with a deteriorating quarterback,
a bad offensive line, a wide receiver who punches swamp
coolers on the sidelines, and a head coach who can't
be asked questions after six weeks in because he'll melt
down in front of you at the podium. This is

(51:37):
media Gold in New York. Right now, Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio eight seven seven on foxes the phone number
eight seven seven six three six nine, and you can
also give me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks as
we come to you live here from the Getico Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next, this is one of
the more bizarre scenarios with an all time great player.

(52:02):
It doesn't make sense and it happens over and over again.
I'll tell you who that is next year on Fox
Sports Radio. Do you want to let you know though,
that we are brought to you by Geico Great News.
There's a quick way you could say money switched to Geico.
Go to Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you
could save fifteen or more on car insurance. A bizarre

(52:23):
scenario involving an all time great player. Next year on FSR.
Jonah Snacks Fox Sports Radio, Coming to you live here
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. Um we will
be playing pro wrestler or porn star. Coming up less
than ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.

(52:43):
If you want to be a part of the game.
Pro Wrestler Reporn Star eight seven seven nine on Fox
is the phone number eight seven seven six three six nine.
Pro Wrestler Reporn Star coming up less than ten minutes
from now here on Fox Sports Radio. Um, all right,

(53:03):
so I do want to uh get to this because
this is and I was talking about this earlier that
if you just watched a Major League baseball game in
the regular season and then you a week later turned
on a postseason game, it's not even the same sport.
It's it's not even. It goes from casual, relaxed, hang out,

(53:30):
have a hot dog, drink a beer, get some cotton candy,
sing the seventh inning stretch two. You can't move because
the tension is so thick. You can't move. And it's
one thing I'll give fans credit for, because fans will
sit through these games and they're so long, and there's

(53:51):
so many pitching changes that just the highs and lows
and the roller coasters. Man, I don't know how you do.
I don't know how you don't take up a bad habit,
honest to I don't know how fans don't either bite
their nails or uh, get into heavy drinking or or
smoke cigarettes three at a time, like you're a chimney.
Like I don't know how fans deal Honest to god,

(54:12):
how you deal with the stress. I don't know how
you deal with it. And none of it's good for you.
I mean, you know, it's like when people drink when
they're depressed, or people have got something going on and
they're really bummed out about something, so they drink. It's
the worst thing in the world. It's the worst thing
you can do because then when you wake up, the
problem is still there and you're hungover. It's like, come on, man,

(54:34):
I mean, it's it's one thing to get need in
the balls, it's another thing to get kneed in the
balls right after stepping on a nail. Okay, like one
at a time here and so I watched these playoff games,
and I don't know how fans deal with it. It's
it's nerve racking. I feel bad for the fans when
they're in the middle of it. Astro's Dodgers a year ago.

(54:54):
I felt bad for fans the one game on Sunday
night that that lasted like eight hours, that no lead
was safe I think that was a game Kershaw pitched
as well too. The Dodgers had a lead twice in
that game, and Kershaw just served up meat and and
then there was the talk that the balls were loaded
or it's just crazy. And so I'm watching the game

(55:16):
on Friday night and the Brewers, who were up big
in that game and uh and eventually held on to win,
which just goes to show you more uh nerve racking,
tense moments later in the game. You're exhausted afterwards. So
the so the Milwaukee Brewers hold on to win that game,
and they take a one nothing lead in the NLCS,

(55:37):
and the same old story continues. Clayton Kershaw continues to
struggle at times in the postseason. And it's really strange, man.
It's not like he doesn't have great stuff. I know,
he's he's up there in years. Maybe he's not at
his peak performance, but it's not like he doesn't have

(55:58):
great stuff. I mean, John Smoltz was even talking about
it in the broadcast. You're watching early on in the game,
I think it was the first inning against Yelloch, Christian Yelloch,
who has been unbelievable, the best player in baseball, this
year and you're watching and John Smoltz is saying, look,
I mean he could go, uh, curveball in the dirt

(56:19):
here if he wants, and he throws it out there,
and Clayton Kershaw on command curveball in the dirt down
goes yellowch like. So it's not like he doesn't have
the stuff. There's just something about the postseason that it
doesn't add up. It just doesn't work. Now, defense was
an issue. Uh, they had a bunch of airs the
Dodgers did in that game, and that's that's a terrible

(56:40):
look on on the team. But Kershaw was going to
get most of the blame for it. Here was his manager,
Dave Roberts afterwards. As far as Clayton, I just think
it was core execution and I thought the stuff was good,
but he just made mistakes in the striking zone. And defensively, again,
we didn't do any favors. You know, the catcher's interference

(57:01):
that was something that very freak thing. And the relay
to play that I know that, yes, money will say
he should have made a pretty uncharacteristic um, but it's
just one of those things that unfortunately didn't make the
plays that that I know he expects to make Yeah,
it's just it's it's almost unexplainable at this point, Like

(57:22):
you almost can't come up with an explanation as to
why he struggles because he's still a great player. I mean,
he's still a good picture. I mean out here in
l A people love him. Kershaw day. That's that's like
a hashtag that goes around. But the narrative on him
is that he can't get it done the postseason. Here
was Kershaw afterwards as well. Yeah, it was tough one.
You know, obviously you don't want to get get yourself

(57:44):
off to that start, but you know what happened and
try to try to win them all. Does it feel
any differently to you today as far as the from
the bullpen into the game, or did just things kind
of get out of control because of some of the
errors and that type of stuff. Neither, I mean felt
the same, didn't feel out of control. Just I cave
a few heads, I mean, and he's got to wear
that and he's got to live with that, and look

(58:06):
windows close fast. It twice said last year, and I
said it the year before when the Indians choked, when
the Indians had a three one lead in that series
and they lost to the Cubs. Indian fan, the positive
ones will try and spin it to you as I
don't worry about it. They'll be back next year, don't

(58:26):
worry about it. Every everything's gonna be fine. They're a
young team. You come back, you battle back. Oops, still
haven't gotten back. Dodger fans, how many times have the
Dodgers had an opportunity gotten into the postseason and how
many times have they come up short? And eventually that
just runs out. It's you can no longer just depend

(58:51):
and assume that you're gonna get there every single time.
You just you can't rely on that. And so the
guy who's gonna take the blame. Look, you Darvers got
a lot of heat for Game seven a year ago.
The Dodgers had at a seventh game at home. You
can't ask for anything more in the final game of
the season. Then at home in a seventh game and

(59:12):
they lost. And the more you let opportunities like that
slipped by, the more you gotta deal with it. I
don't know. If I'm a Rangers fan, remember the Texas
Rangers back in the day, Texas Rangers were down to
their final strike against the Cardinals. I still say to
this day one of the most underrated, devastating losses if

(59:35):
you're a fan base, the Texas Rangers in the World
Series down to their final strike, and I think there
was an air on Nephew Perez. If I want to say, like,
how I remember that, I have no idea Connor McGregor.
We bring in Connor McGregor. Now, uh, Connor McGregor, your

(59:55):
thoughts on the air by Nephi Perez If it was
Nephi Perez or somebody along those lines in the World
Series several years ago for the I mean, well, yeah,
I mean that's fair. Um, let's go live to our
Texas Ranger outfielder insider in the World Series several years
ago that nobody has talked about since then. Kevin figures, Kevin, Yeah,

(01:00:15):
I believe it was Nelson Cruz and he misplayed it. Yes, yeah,
let me I agree, Yeah that too. I always confuse
him and Nephew Prez. Nephie Press is another Major League
Baseball player, but Nelson Cruise is the guy yes on
that team, so it's okay, yeah, and and he and
he misplayed the ball. That is one of the most
underrated devastating losses for a fan base that doesn't get

(01:00:39):
brought up enough because I think a lot people can
talk about the Bills and Scott Norwood and all that.
Imagine being one strike away and your team loses it,
like you just can't assume. I don't worry, We'll be back.
And they did get back and they lost again. I
just think at some point we can we can focus
on Clayton Kershaw. And if you're a Dodger fan, you

(01:01:00):
can get really upset about it and you can be
piste off and I understand it, but Damn, in the
back of your mind every time something like this happens
that you think to yourself, there's another opportunity gone, there's
another one lost. I'm telling you, as fans, you keep
inventory and you remember all these moments. And Dodger fans
for the past seven years, six seven years, have had

(01:01:22):
to wear it in the postseason. It's brutal. Jonas Knox

after a clown who used to murder kids by luring

this uh this week's edition of a pro Wrestler Report
start here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, Jonas knocks
here on fs ARE. I want to let you know
that we are brought to you by Vegas Covers for

(01:14:28):
free winners daily. Go to Vegas Covers dot com. That's
Vegas Covers dot Com. All right, coming up next. So
I think that, uh there's there's a story in the
NFL that we have got to discuss because it's very
very bizarre, right I I understand the idea behind it,
but I don't understand how what's being done. I'll explain

(01:14:50):
what I mean by that next here on FSR. Jonas
knocks Fox Sports Radio from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Uh so, a little over ten minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know how many other
people have noticed this, but there is a trend in
the NFL, and you'll want to look at it as

(01:15:12):
a negative trend. I'm looking at as a positive and
it involves four teams in the NFL. So I'll explain
what that is coming up ten minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. And as promised, I'm gonna tell
you about a very bizarre way of thinking in the
National Football League involving one team. Um, and so we'll

(01:15:32):
get to that here momentarily. Now, Uh, we have a
little bit of controversy here on the show as we
had just finished up playing pro wrestler a porn star.
By the way, Mike Mayor, one of our contestants, was
a former professional wrestler years and years ago. And Mike,
he's legit, right, Yeah, he's legit. And the guy he
actually mentioned who he had his biggest feud with, he

(01:15:53):
was associated with some of the bigger names in pro wrestling,
including Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Rick Steiner, and even Jerry Lawler.
So the legit man, good for him. And his name
again his Eddie Gilbert. Eddie Gilbert's the guy he fought
Rick Garon, quick, Brick Garren, I believe was his official name,
his gimmick. So okay, So, but isn't his name Rick Garon? Yeah,

(01:16:15):
his name is Rick Garon. Yeah, but he fought he
fought Eddie Gilbert, Okay. So the guy we had on
is Rick Garon. And and he fought Eddie Gilbert, yes, okay, awesome,
And then and then he also fought uh and who
else did he wrestle? Rick Garon? You're saying he he
was associated with the with with some of the other guys. No, actually,
I was saying Eddie Gilbert, the guy was associated with

(01:16:36):
some big names. So he was fighting a guy he
was a big deal. Yeah, hey, look man, uh we
get big names here on this show. All right. Now,
I can't get Brady Quinn to call in. Can't get
Brady quinna call and God forbid, God for well, you
mean we just do a show every week together. Why
would he call it in? You know he's in l A.
Why call in? He's calling usc Colorado? Thanks so much.

(01:16:59):
But a good pal he is. Guy. So we've got
so great I can't get him to call in. But
we've got a professional wrestler who called in under the
kindness of his heart to play a game. I hate
Brady Quinn's guts. Send that message along. By the way,
I know Brady Quinn. I know he's Irish, and I
know he's from Dublin, Ohio. All right, I got a

(01:17:20):
message for you. Suck these big artists. Jonas knocks Fox.
All right, So this is this is a fascinating way
to think. So you're watching Thursday night football, right, We're
all watching Thursday night football, and um, there are Giant

(01:17:42):
fans and there are people that are covering the Giants
or people that are watching that game on Thursday night.
Whose biggest takeaway is well, at least, say Kwan Barkley
isn't a bust. Oh no, yeah, well clearly not that
much of a difference maker. Otherwise you wouldn't have one

(01:18:03):
effing win on the season. So what does that mean? Like,
that's what Giants fans are holding onto right now. Well,
at least Sa Kwan is not a bus. At least
you got that right. Stop stop bearing the lead to
make yourself feel better. It's like your buddy bragging about
how big his calves are because he walks to work.
Just stop, stop, just stop. No, man, you don't have

(01:18:27):
a car, so you have to walk to work. Okay,
like bragging about your big calves, it's just a spin
to make yourself feel better. I'll take the extra three
hours that you spend walking to work each day and
use it on something enjoyable. All right, give me the car,
I'll pay the gas money and i'll pay the insurance.

(01:18:48):
Walk away. Do whatever you want, but don't spin it
in another direction like it's a positive SAE Kwon Barkley
looked awesome. He looked awesome on Thursday night. He looks explosive.
He looks like a number two pick. But what has
that gotten you? One win? You got one win. You

(01:19:09):
don't have a quarterback who can get the ball down field,
and yet Giants fans afterwards to make themselves feel better. Yeah,
but don't worry, we got you know, at least we
didn't blow that se Kwan Barkley pick. Like what because
because he can catch it, dump off, because he breaks
a long run every now and then you're one in five, man,

(01:19:32):
Just be honest. You'll feel better about yourself, all right.
Just be honest, you say, yeah, listen, you know, look, yeah, look,
I'm in a much better shape, and I'm really really
strong right now, especially in my lower half. And I'm
really you know, because of all those walks to work. Man,
I'd kill for a car because I don't want to
do this anymore. I really don't want to do this anymore.
If you're the Giants, you needed a quarterback. Se Kwan

(01:19:54):
looks great, but you needed a quarterback. With that great
number two pick, You've got one win on the season.
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. Fascinating info on the NFL
coming out next. So there's something that I have noticed
about the NFL, and in particular four teams. I mean
really three teams, but we'll add in the fourth and

(01:20:15):
you'll see why here coming up in a couple of minutes.
I've noticed this and I don't think it's a bad thing,
and I'll explain here. Coming up here momentarily on Fox
Sports Radio. I am Jonas Knox. This is Fox Sports Radio.
You can check out the show on the I Heart

week six in the NFL season. Week six, I'm telling you, man,

(01:21:00):
there's gonna be a point here coming up pretty quick
that you're gonna look and realize we're like week thirteen.
Where did the season go, it's almost over. And then
I mean this, you know, time flies, time flies during
the NFL season, it's all a blur because you've got
so many games and so much stuff going on. And um,
I will be honest with you, and I don't know

(01:21:22):
that there's a lot of you know, national host or
hosts anywhere that will acknowledge this, and maybe this is
in poor taste. Um, but I don't care. I just
I really don't care, and I'm just, yeah, I don't,
I don't. I'll just be honest with you. I was
excited for the first game in Week six of the

(01:21:43):
NFL Giants Eagles, and I was excited, and I was
really there for chaos. I did not care about the
XS and ohs. I did not have anybody on my
fantasy T teams playing. I didn't care how good Carson

(01:22:03):
Wentz looked. I didn't care about any of that. I
didn't care about al Sean Jeffrey. I didn't care about
the Eagles offensive line. I didn't. I cared about nothing
of that, like nothing, none of that interests me. And
maybe this is not the smartest thing to acknowledge as
a sports stock radio host. I was there for the chaos.

(01:22:26):
That's all I was tuning in for. And I'll be
honest with you, it was the most I've looked forward
to a Thursday night game in a long long time.
Rams Vikings was fun because it was a shootout, but
he kind of knew that was gonna be. You know,
he kind of had had a feeling that's what that
was gonna be. You know, the Rams good football team,
probably the best team in the league right now. The

(01:22:47):
Minnesota Vikings, a team moves in the NFC title game.
They've got brand new features on offense and all that stuff,
and you would think of them as one of the
better teams in the NFC. We knew what that was
gonna be. But Thursday Night Giants Eagles, I was there
for the chaos. I looked at it like this. When
I was breaking it down and jotting down some notes

(01:23:10):
and kind of thinking about how I preview the game,
I looked at it like this. If the Giants lose,
and worse, if they get blown out on a standalone stage,
the fallout is going to be fascinating. Fascinating because I considered, look,
if Philly loses there in last place in the division, Uh,
pretty rough four games stretch coming up Panthers, Jags, Cowboys, Saints.

(01:23:34):
One of those is a London game, if I'm not mistaken,
guaranteed drama. But it was the most fired up I
had been for a Thursday game, because either way you
were going to have an issue, there was gonna be
some sort of drama attached to it afterwards, no matter what.
And not only was there drama, and not only did
the Giants get blown out, Odell Beckham lost it on

(01:23:55):
the sideline, Eli Manning was terrible. Pat Shermer got piste
after the game, and of all teams, it was the
Philadelphia Eagles, arch rival with one of the most obnoxious
fan bases in the country that was there to dance
on your grave. And here's the best part. For as

(01:24:16):
bad as the Giants look, there are only two games
out of first in the NFC East, and there's ten
games to play. That team that you saw on Thursday
night is still in the NFC East hunt. They're still there.
And so I was thinking about it, and and it

(01:24:36):
it just got me to think in in in regards
to the NFL and how it stacks up, and I
was thinking kind of notice something because I'm looking. I'm
looking around the NFL and I'm looking at the NFC
East and they've got no winning teams as of right now.
We're doing this show live. It is four oh five

(01:24:58):
Eastern time in the morning on October. It is one
oh five Pacific time, and it's ten oh five pm,
still Friday, And are great friends listening on Fox Sports
Oahu where they're listening right now. But as we are
standing right now, and as we are listening and I'm

(01:25:20):
talking and you are listening, and we're all but a
good time in whatever capacity you are hammered or not,
there is no winning team in the NFC East as
of right now. And if you wanted to use that
stat you could say, and it would be really easy,
and you could argue it's the worst division in football.
You might say that, but I would say this, and

(01:25:43):
we can debate that, and you can point to the
NFC West and you can bring up some other divisions
out there. But I will say this, I don't know
if the NFC East is the worst division in football,
but you know what it definitely is. It's the most
interesting in the league. I mean, find me a team
that doesn't have a fascinating storyline in the NFC East.

(01:26:06):
In fact, I'll go around the NFL right now. I
will go around the NFL right now, and I can
sum up every single division and storylines for each team.
I'll do it right now. All right, let's go. Let's
go to the other East, the a f C East.
You know about the New England Patriots. Look, they go
into each season, They've got six bye weeks, well seven
if you include their real bye week. Then the other

(01:26:28):
other teams are playing in their division. Uh. The Miami
Dolphins look like a hot team to start out the season.
They've been exposed the past couple of weeks. The Buffalo
Bills over the past several months. In the past couple
of years, they've had a sex toy thrown on the field.
They had a former offensive lineman say he worked for
the CIA and try and remove his father's head at
a funeral home. They had a wide receiver try and

(01:26:49):
jump through a window. They are a mess. Oh and
by the way, Lashawn McCoy may or may not have
hired someone to steal jewelry from his ex girlfriend. And
then you've got the New York Jets. They looked hot
in week one, then they didn't look so hot, and
then there's people trying to figure out whether or not
Todd Bowles is gonna get fired. Uh, And then they
just look across the town and they go, well, at
least we're not the Giants. Then you go to the

(01:27:09):
a f C. North. Nobody buys into the Cincinnati Bengals
because nobody can get it through their minds that the
Cincinnati Bengals might actually be good because you can point
to the Cincinnati Bengals record, but then you can also
point to the fact that last week was the Dolphins,
and the Dolphins stink. The Baltimore Ravens. I don't know
what's gonna happen next, Lamar Jackson being used as a

(01:27:31):
decoy or Joe Flacco slides and his knee brace almost
falls off. The Cleveland Browns, man, they look awesome. No,
they just look better than what they were. You went
from Frisky's cat food to spam. It doesn't mean it's good,
it's just better than what it was. And the Pittsburgh Steelers,
who the hell knows, it's a player's revolt. They hate

(01:27:51):
Levy on bell Uh. Antonio Brown may have thrown furniture
out of a balcony and almost hit a toddler by
a pool in Florida in the off season, I'd know.
The a f C South, the Titans are boring, the
Jaguars are boring, the Texans aren't very good, and the
Indianapolis Colts have a quarterback who sounds like Andre the
Giant and as a neckbeard. The a f C West,

(01:28:14):
the Chiefs are pretty fun. They're exciting, right, I mean,
we're all excited about the Chiefs, but until they do
it in the postseason, don't really buy into it. The
Chargers have no home field, They play in a soccer stadium,
and their biggest issue is kicking anybody notice uh the
irony and that the little bizarre. The Denver Broncos aren't good,
don't let their fans fool you. And the Oakland Raiders

(01:28:35):
play in a baseball diamond. Then you go to the
NFC North. The Bears come on. Trabisky had one good
game against the Crumby Buccaneers. Did anybody see him against Arizona?
He was awful. The Green Bay Packers. Mike McCarthy hates
Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers hates Mike McCarthy, who knows they'll
get into the postseason and they'll win a game, and

(01:28:56):
then somewhere along the line they'll lose a game, and
everybody you'll talk about how Aaron Rodgers is have enough.
The Minnesota Vikings, they had their hearts ripped out last
year in the NFC Title Game, after they ripped out
the hearts of the Saints, and now they get into
this season historical loss against the Buffalo Bills. You don't
know one week or another whether or not they're a
good team. The Detroit Lions were exposed Week one of

(01:29:16):
the NFL. Then they had a couple of good wins,
and then they had a couple of bad losses. The
biggest story out of Detroit as to whether or not
Matt Patricia is gonna be wearing a backwards hat. We
go to the NFC South where Drew Brees breaks a
record for career passing yards and the big gift exchange
at midfield was an eight and a half by eleven
inch piece of notebook paper with the record stat on

(01:29:37):
it from an official. What the hell was that? What
the hell was that? On Monday Night, the Carolina Panthers
won on a sixty three yard field goal. They're not
all that good. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers benched Ryan Fitzpatrick
for Jameis Winston, and I don't think the teammates like
him very much. In the Atlanta Falcons are the most
heartbreaking team. I legitimately feel bad for him. Now they

(01:29:58):
don't have injury. Look, they're losing close games. Their seasons
probably over. The Rams are five and oh, but they
play in a toilet. The Seahawks have got all sorts
of dysfunction over the past couple of years. And now
you've got Russell Wilson who is just trying to survive
in Seattle, and Pete Carroll, who may or may not
be gone at the end of this year. The Arizona
Cardinals are starting Josh Rose and a rookie quarterback. You

(01:30:19):
keep hearing about how promising he looked his first start,
and then you look at his passing statue and you realized, oh,
he had under two hundred yards in the air. And
then the San Francisco forty Niners lost Jimmy Garoppolo. They're
playing on Monday Night football with c J. Bethred, which
brings us to the NFC East. You got the Philadelphia Eagles.

(01:30:40):
You got the defending Super Bowl champions. You got a
team that already talked a lot and had a bunch
of talkers inside the locker room, and then added Michael Bennett.
You've got a fan base who's not above punching a
police horse, punching a police horse again, and then eating
police horse crap off the ground after they do win
a Super Bowl. You've got the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones

(01:31:05):
making weekly appearance on one oh three five or one
oh five three or whatever the fan network is, that
Jerry Jones network there in Dallas. One week he's criticizing
Dak Prescott, the next week he's praising him. One week
he's criticizing Jason Garrett, the next week he's he's praising him.
He doesn't know which ways up, he doesn't know which
ways left, he doesn't know which way is right. Jerry

(01:31:27):
Jones is all out of whack. And then you've got
Dez Bryant who's begging for a job back, but they
want nothing to do with him. And then Jason went
and burns him to take the money and a football job.
And that guy doesn't know where to put his hands
when the cameras on him. And then you get the
New York Giants receivers punching of a swamp cooler, a
quarterback who is regressing before your very eyes, um, a

(01:31:48):
head coach who is lost a school with the media
when all they're doing is asking about benching the quarterback
who probably should be bench but they don't have a
backup because they didn't address it in the off season.
And then you got the wash in redskins, and some
people think that their mascot is racist. I mean, find
me another division in football who doesn't have at all

(01:32:10):
like the NFC East does. It is storyline, it is
gifts from God for media members. Everywhere you turn. It
is the most interesting division. There's friction, there's turmoil, there
is fighting, there's outbursts, there are there's bad football, there's mediocre,

(01:32:31):
there's occasionally good football. There's good quarterback play, there's bad
quarterback play. There's hope for a future, and there's no
hope at all. Unbelievable the NFC East. I don't know
if they're good. They don't seem like they're very good,
and they might be the worst, but damn, that's an
interesting division to cover. I'm telling you, man, would you

(01:32:57):
rather have the a f C South? Would you rather
have the a f C South. And I'm not trying
to take shot in an a f C South football
fan out there, but your division nobody cares about they
do not Nobody on a national level cares about that division.
But the NFC East. There's juice there. You bite into
that and there is juice spilling all over your hands.

(01:33:19):
All right, Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. I want to
let you know we are brought to you by Discover Card.
We treat you like you treat you eight seven seven
on Foxes the phone number eight seven seven three six nine.
You can get me on Twitter at the Jonas knocks
as we come to live here from the get go.
Fox Sports Radio Studios coming up next. Yere on fs

(01:33:39):
are somebody I never thought I would believe in, and
and and actually agree with. Alright, somebody I I never
thought I believe in this person? All right. They are
one of the most controversial athletes of the last ten
years in sports. This is two weeks in a row.
I completely agree with them. Find out who we're talking
about next year on FSR. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio

(01:34:03):
Company A live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. Uh,
so we will be getting to somebody in the football world,
one of the most controversial athletes of the last ten years.
I didn't think I was going to agree with him once,
let alone two weeks in a row. And I am

(01:34:24):
so I'll explain who that is coming up here just
a couple of minutes on Fox Sports Radio. So there
was this um promotion that was being done I guess
in Milwaukee, and I have no idea what the hell
this place is literally, and I'm asking for help, like
I've reached out to my Milwaukee slash Wisconsin insiders. But

(01:34:45):
there was this promotion that was being done by George Webb,
which is a Wisconsin restaurant chain, and I guess They've
got this this promotion where if the Brewers win twelve
straight game games, they give him free burgers. And I
guess that George Webb was this guy who opened his

(01:35:07):
initial Hamburger parlor, which, uh, I don't I hear parlor.
I assume something else, but no, no, Nonetheless, that was
in ninety eight. I guess he uh started this like
there was a minor league team. But anyways, he said,
you have the Brewers ever win twelve twelve straight games?

(01:35:29):
We're gonna give away free burgers. Well, they had a
winning streak in seven and a couple of days later
they gave out a hundred and sixty eight thousand burgers.
And so I guess because the Brewers won their twelve
straight game on Friday night by beating the Dodgers, They're
gonna set it up this Thursday. They're getting giving away

(01:35:49):
free burgers from two pm to six pm. And they're
gonna have special pricing on their other menu items, including fries,
soft drinks, and more. Limit one per person. Um. Just
round the room, please, if we could, let's go, Let's
go around the room here on Fox Sports Radio, if

(01:36:10):
we could, uh on FSR, Let's start with Iowa. Sam Here, Sam,
have you ever heard of George Webb, a Wisconsin restaurant chain.
You know I'm from the West as we as we
all know Iowa. I've been to Wisconsin many times. I
had never heard of George Webb. In fact, I'd like

(01:36:32):
to quote this from the fugitive I've never heard you
just wanted to play that drop ye? All right, Mike
the Nightmare, our executive producer have you ever heard of
George Webb? Not until I saw this story tonight, Kevin
Figures National Update anchor, have you ever heard of George Webb? No?
I've heard of Gardner Webb whenever they make it to

(01:36:52):
the tournament and get trounced by fifty points every single year.
And I've heard of a former defensive bag b w
Web the NFL. Come on, cab, what a that spot? Web?
How about Davis Webb? Yeah, Davis Webb, the guy Ben
McAdoo could have played last year but didn't. He could
started Geno Smith? How dare he? Uh? Yeah, I have

(01:37:13):
not have never heard of George Webb. I reached out
to Dan Buyer, Fox sports radio host here, a Wisconsin native,
um he didn't really know a lot about it either.
So this seems like a publicity stunt by George Webb.
I don't know if the burgers are good. Uh. If
if somebody wants to tweet in at the Jonas Knox
and you want to tweet in if you were from
Wisconsin or you've traveled through Wisconsin, if you drive a truck, whatever,

(01:37:37):
and you want to a rate a George Webb burger,
We're gonna take your word for it here because nobody
here has any effing clue what George Webb is no clue.
By the way, when you when you aren't, you setting
a bad precedence because you're really banking on the fact
that you've got a good burger. Because if somebody goes

(01:37:58):
in and they get a burger for free, and you
gotta churn out a hundred and something thousand burgers, and
that was back in now it's going to be because
of all the promotion and you know, everybody finding out
about it. You'd imagine we're talking like a couple hundred
thousand burgers are gonna be handed out at this place
on Thursday. You better hope you hit a home run,

(01:38:19):
because sometimes you don't account for business like that, and
maybe the food, the quality the food dips a little bit,
and if somebody bites into and they say, oh yeah,
this is cool for a free burger, I wouldn't count
on them being a frequent guest or a frequent visitor.
I remember in high school football we had to do
this rib eating contest against our rival team, and the

(01:38:41):
first batch of ribs were pretty good, and after that,
because they didn't account for how many ribs. We were
gonna all eat between two football teams. Uh. It was
basically fat on a bone, Like it's the stuff you
would give to your dog as a punishment if he
crapped in your shoe. Like, I just I don't know.

(01:39:03):
Something about this doesn't seem like the greatest idea. But
if you have eaten at what is it Gardner Webbs,
what it's called? What's this? What's his spud? Web what's
the place called again? Charlotte's web Davis Davis? So is it?
George Webb? Have you eaten at at um at Charlotte
George Webb's restaurant? Or Webb Simpson? Yeah? Have you eaten
at a George Webb? Um? Yeah, Just tweet me at

(01:39:28):
the Jonah Stocks and let us know how it is.
Because something don't seem like that's a bad idea. You
just want to play that drop. That's your favorite drop
in the system. Favorite d Sam's favorite drop in the
system is Find This Man, where Harrison Ford is trying
to find the guy with one arm who killed his wife. Okay,
we got it. Okay, you find Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio.

(01:40:01):
By the way, we'll be playing match game after dark
coming up here in about five minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. That's gonna be a lot of fun. Um.
All right, I didn't think I was gonna agree with
this guy, but damn two weeks in a row. So
Tim Tebow came out last week, and uh, he backed
Nick Saban. He backed Nick Saban. He ripped Outlabama fans
for not showing up to the game. And I sided

(01:40:23):
with him just because I never thought Tebow was gonna
go hot take, and he did, and just by default,
I went with Tim Tebow. I said, screw it, I'm
going with Tebow on this. Yeah, f you fans for
not showing up to the game. Why not? And Plus
I love Nick Saban, He's our guy. He's the resident
red ass here on the show. Um. Tim Tebow also
came out on Friday and the discussion. As we get

(01:40:47):
ready for college football's playoff rankings, which will be coming
up later on this month, there's always this demand. We've
got to have more, We've got to have more. There's
gotta be eight teams? What about sixteen? You know, while
we're at it, wy, don't we make it thirty two? Uh?
And you know what, why don't we combine a couple
of college basketball teams and have them play a couple
of seven on seven games, you know why don't we

(01:41:08):
just and Tim Tebow came out and said, no, keep
it at for I want to kept it four. It's
a spot on. You don't need more games every single year.
You could be complaining with the same problem if you
had six teams. It's the seventh team we got out
that you complain about. If you had eight, it's the

(01:41:28):
ninth team we got out that you complain about. We
don't need to water it down. The college football playoff
is good right now? Is it? As it's said, don't
worry about it. Either you get it in you're one
of the four teams or you're not. And if you don't,
tough balls, but people like you like moderation, man, you
you don't need to have it all at once. I

(01:41:50):
never thought I would say this two weeks in a row.
I actually agree, and I'm a hundred percent on board
with Tim Tebow. And that's the only things that Tim
t and I have in common. Jonas knocks Fox Sports
Radio All Right, Company, live here from the Geico Fox
Sports Radio Studios. We are going to play match game
after dark. This is where I can assure you. If

you've had a rough week or you're not feeling good
about something in your life, just think about the worst
thing in your life right now. I promise you what
you will hear next will make you feel better. All right.
So that is coming up next year on fs ARE
but for all the latest captain figures all right. In
the American League Championship Series that will begin later tonight
in Boston. The championship round for the senior circuit got

(01:42:32):
underway Friday in Milwaukee. The Brewers they were able to
hold off the Dodgers with a six to five victory.
I say hold off because Milwaukee had a six to
one lead in the seventh inning before the Dodgers staged
a rally. L A actually had the game tying run
on third base before Corey can Able struck out justin
turner to in the game. Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodroff got

(01:42:54):
the victory in relief. He also hit a home run
off Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw, who lasted just three inning
is allowing five runs on six hits. Game two coverage
will begin at three thirty Eastern on Fox with first
pitch scout scheduled for about four oh nine Eastern later today.

More on car insurance with Geico, go to Geico dot
com or call eight under nine four seven Auto. The
only hard part figuring out which way is easier. So
way way back, a long time ago, when we first
started doing this show here on Fox Sports Radio Weekend

(01:43:56):
Overnight's Primetime Real Estate Here on Sports Radio, you where
all the players play. We decided, you know, why don't
we shine a spotlight on some of the biggest losers
in the world to make ourselves feel better? And I figured,
why do it in a normal fashion where we just

(01:44:18):
break down a story and we can turn it into
a little game show, And we bring back one of
the great games of all time, Match Game. And for
those of you who don't know how match game works,
you give somebody a question or you give them an answer,
but you leave a portion of it blank and they've
got to fill in the blank. And some of the
answers are bizarre, and some of them are out of line,

(01:44:39):
and some of them are borderline inappropriate. And that would
sum up what we've been doing here on the show.
This went away for a little while, but now that
we're back to four hours on Friday into Saturday, we
bring back for another edition this game show, Match Game,

(01:45:07):
Yeah Baby. Every single week we play this game match
Game after Dark, where we go around the world and
we shine the biggest spotlight on some of the biggest
losers and degenerate Flunkey's walking the face of the earth
in an attempt to make ourselves feel better. And so
we will do it again here. But let's first meet

(01:45:29):
our participants here on Fox Sports Radio. Ladies and gentlemen. Uh,

socks with slip on vans. He is Iowa Sam, Sam.

by this guy first. He has cleaned the streets up
single handedly, using nothing but physical force in a death stare,
and he's got the voice to go along with it.
You pay your respects to Kevin Figures, who joins us again.

(01:46:37):
That's right, Luke Cage has nothing on me, Jonas, damn straight.
So those are the participants as we get ready to
play match game after dark here on Fox Sports Radio. Guys,
I think we know the rules, but for you listening again,
I will read a portion of a story I will
read a portion. I will leave a portion of it blank.
These guys have to fill in the blank, and it
has to be exactly as I have it here in

(01:47:00):
order to get the points. All right, So here we go,
if you guys are up. Story one here on Match
Game after Dark, here on Fox Sports Radio. And these
are all true stories. By the way, all of these
are true. A nineteen year old South Carolina man was
arrested recently after he shot his cousin for blank. A

nineteen year old South Carolina man was arrested recently after
he shot his cousin for blank. Iowa, Sam, go ahead

Like chips and dip or like Copenhagen. We're talking chah Man,

(01:47:44):
We're talking pouches, like red Man, like some Kodiaks, somem Copenhagen,
some skull. I had a buddy of mine who never
dipped before, and and Kodiak is the real deal. Like
you don't want to mess with Kodiak. That's the loose
most most so the time, like people would do like
skull pouches because it's like diet soda and maybe work

(01:48:04):
your way up. First time out cancer, First time out.
My buddy threw in a horseshoe of kodiak. Couldn't stand up,
You mean it went from tooth to tooth. Couldn't could
not stand up? He could like. It made him so dizzy,
he was spinning. He was going to throw up because
it was so strong. Um. Alright, so that is your
guest Shaw so chewing tobacco. Alright, Mike Mayer, go ahead

(01:48:27):
and fill in the blank. Place. He stole one of
his French fries. At it for one of his meals.
He was in a restaurant. It just came and it
stole Mike. I'd hope it was for one of his meals.
Enough for personal reason, I just had to be more
descripted there to say if you were confused. Yeah, he's
just sitting down in a restaurant and he just steals
one of his French friends. Like, Mike, why would you

(01:48:48):
shoot a family member over a French front? These guys
are These guys are losers. I see I've heard some
crazy answers. Man, don't question. Maybe there's a method in
my madness. Maybe maybe you're maybe you're right, all right, Okay,
Kevin figures, go ahead and fill in that blank please.
He stepped on his big toe, they see, that would
be understandable. Yeah, that that may warrant, especially if you

(01:49:10):
got like an ingrown toenail. Oh my god, oh that
is the worst. Uh. There's the photo of the guy
who was proposing to his girl and before he proposed
to her, he took his right shoe off because he
was going to get on his right knee and he
didn't want to crease his Jordan's now we're talking. Yeah

(01:49:34):
that I didn't even think about it. I was, and
then after I saw the picture, I thought, that's son
of a you know what, man like I should have
been doing that for years. I've ever thought of it,
not the not the getting engaged part. Oh yeah no no, alright,
So let's see if anybody got the point here. On
match Game After Dark, After after Night, a nineteen year
old South Carolina man was arrested recently after he shot

(01:49:59):
his cousin for eating his salt and vinegar potato chips.
Oh that was close, Mike, Unfortunately, not close enough. Yeah.
Apparently this happened about sixty miles outside of Charleston and
uh the the his cousin was in bad shape and
they had to wait until he got healthy enough to talk.

(01:50:20):
And when they asked him, hey, so why do you
shoot you? Uh, it says because he didn't want him
to consume his salton vinegar potato chips. I want a loser.
Oh my god, I lived in Charleston. Let me tell
you something. Not that surprised. You know where. You can't
get salton vinegar potato chips in prison? So why why

(01:50:42):
would you do that? Why can't you get salton vinegar
potato chips in prison? I mean maybe you can, but
they're gonna be bad. I see what you're saying. Yeah,
so he's gonna go to prison. By the way, how
do you guys feel about salton vinegar potato chips? And
not a great with a sub Yeah, they seem like
a good eye da until you have like two or
three and then they cut the roof of your mouth.

(01:51:05):
It's like, remember, oh Cereal. Oh, Cereal was so one
of my favorite cereals growing up. Now I can't. I
can't have a bull of cereal if I have a
bowl of cereal. Um, I mean, it's diaper city. Baby,
like I I don't know what I don't know what
happened when I got older, But I had a bullet
Cheerios about four years ago, and it was like somebody
put eye drops in it. I could amazing, but like,

(01:51:26):
oh is the cereal? The one problem? When you would
eat it was so good, but you would cut the
roof of your mouth up, and and that happens with
like salt and vinegar chips, like those real hard chips,
kettle chips. And then by the time you eat like
half of one of those big bags, it's like you've
been just chewing on razor. It sucks um alright, So
on no points handed out there. We move on to
story number two here on Fox Sports Radio. Story number two.

(01:51:50):

probation recently after being arrested for trying to blank a

blow up doll. It's a park car. Man, open up
the gas tank there and okay, all right? That that

(01:52:55):
is uh interesting. I did not know that that was
a thing in Kansas. And we will find out of
Kevin gets up. Something tells me Kevin will not get
the points for that, but we will find out one
way or another. Iowa Sam filling the blank. Police, I
Am going to go the safer out here and say,
siphon gasoline from this park. Okay, who hasn't siphoned a
little gash? You know what I mean? In between paychecks?
Gas prices are skyrocketing. A distract the neighbor. Let me

(01:53:18):
use the hose and all siphon gas out of his
car from mine. You've seen true lies, right, you know?
Is an Arnold Schwarzenegger's siphon gas in that movie? Didn't
had somebody go on over the top drink gasoline, wasn't
there like an arm wrestler who drink gasoline? By the way,
that stinks. All right, there we go, let's find out
if we got the point here on Fox Sports Radio,
a twenty four year old Kansas man was sentenced to

(01:53:39):
probation recently after being arrested for trying to have sex
with a park car. Kevin Fingers, that's got point. Yeah,
that is impressive. So apparently, um, back in June, this
guy was trying to have sex with the tailpipe of
a parked vehicle. Um. He was accused of exposing himself

(01:54:05):
with the attempt of arousing or gratifying sexual desires. According
to cops, he was intoxicated when he sought to have
sex with the car. Well, I should hope so. Um.
His blood alcohol content was recorded it more than four
times the legal limit following the arrest. So think about that.
How many drinks would it take down? Like put it

(01:54:28):
this way, that guy probably wiped out what two bottles
of Jack Daniel? Sam, how many bottles of Jack Daniels
that would you get? Four times a legal limit? I
think for the normal person a bottle like a fifth
of Jack would put you at point point three to
somewhere along somewhere somewhere along the night. He didn't have
that extra drink because he either spilled it or somebody

(01:54:50):
took it from him. How do he had that extra drink? Um?
He probably would have tried to pull the car's hair. Yeah,
he could have. That's uh, he could have died. Let's
just put it that way. The car may have liked it,
by the way, I'm just saying. And Kevin Figures two
weeks in a row is your winner? On came after dark?

(01:55:12):
That is something, man. Let me tell you something. Kevin Figures.
Great guy. He's a womanizer. He travels to Croatia randomly
with his buddies. L a sports radio legend. One of
the hardest working men in sports radio. And nobody is

(01:55:34):
on top of park cars being groped or somebody trying
to have sex with them like Kevin Figures here on
sports radio. Come on, congratulations, Kevin. Four times a week,
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio as we come to you
live here from the guy go Fox Sports Radio Studios

(01:55:57):
coming up next. There's a reason NFL coaches hate this
thing in the NFL. I'll tell you why. It is.
That's next year on FSR, You're an idiot, Jonas knocks
Fox Sports Radio from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
So we did a story a few minutes ago. This

(01:56:18):
is what you've missed if you're just tuning in. We
did a story a few minutes ago about a guy
in Kansas who got busted because he was so drunk
he tried to have sex with a park car. And
so Iowa, Sam comes back with this song from break
By the way, if you're listening on the podcast, my
apologiesus sounds awful. But what's the name of the song, Sam,

(01:56:39):
so people can put it into context. It's called I'm
in Love with My Car by Queen Yep. It seemed
pretty fitting, right, different different kind of love though more
of a love for the performance and not so much
maybe not fitting depending on which part of the car
you know what I mean? Um? All right, So coming

(01:57:01):
up in uh In about ten minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. If you love big games in football,
if you are a fan of huge football games, you
need something to happen on Saturday in order to make
that happen, all right, So I will explain what that is.
Coming up ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.
So I've always I'm a firm believer never fight in public,

(01:57:23):
because that's all that people will have an image of
when they when they see you in your better half.
Never fight in public. You could be out whatever, save it,
hold onto it, get in the car, wait till you
get home, and then have a conversation about it, and
then have an argument. But never fight in public because
it does it just you give the perception of being dysfunctional,

(01:57:46):
and people that maybe don't understand all the intricacies of
the argument or the discussion or the past or whatnot,
they now see that and all they've got to go
by is what they you have just shown them. And
that's you guys screaming at each other over a text
message from somebody um named Renee. But Renee is not
actually a woman. It's a guy named Renee and he's

(01:58:08):
from Montreal. Like there, you know, there, There's a lot
that could go on, and it fights. Fights are weird
between couples. But I've said this from the beginning that
the only people that hate Thursday night Football more than
the players are coaches of bad teams. They hate them

(01:58:29):
because you get exposed because now that fight that you
deal with isn't mixed in with like eleven or twelve
games on a Sunday when everybody is distracted or behind
closed doors. Now it's on the stage in front of everybody,
and we're all watching, and we're all seeing it, and

(01:58:51):
we're all witnessing just how bad you really are. You
can kind of hide them. There's a safety and numbers
thing with the NFL, and there's a bunch of games
going on. There's usually that one game that nobody really
cares about, or the team's really bad, or it's a blowout,
and you just kind of dismiss it and you go
through the red zone or whatever on your Sunday ticket
or the game mix. But once you go on a

(01:59:12):
Thursday night game and you're bad, then you get exposed
to everybody. It's why we've seen overreaction to standalone games
in the past. It's why the Bengals fired their offensive
coordinator after Week two last season. Look, two weeks in,
you're firing your offensive coordinator. Why didn't you just do
it two weeks earlier. Oh, I don't get it, because

(01:59:36):
it was a standalone stage and you were embarrassed on
national TV, and you had to react. Chip Kelly got
fired when in Philadelphia when the Eagles got beat up
on Saturday Night Football late in the season after two
winning seasons. He was done in Philadelphia. And it was
a standalone game and a division rival. That was the

(01:59:58):
tipping point and the straw that both broke the camera
Camel's back and Chip Kelly was done. The only people
that hate Thursday Night Football more than the players are
coaches for bad teams because now all their dysfunction plays
out in front of everybody. It's like a fight in
public with your with your girlfriend, your boyfriend. It's a

(02:00:19):
bad situation. More at a football next year on FSR. So,
if you are a fan of big football games, if
you want massive games, if you want games with a
lot on the line, if you want bitter rivals going
at it with something to actually play for, then you
need to put down your negative energy and you need

(02:00:40):
to root for one team coming up on Saturday. I'll
explain who that is in just a couple of minutes
here on Fox Sports Radio. I am Jonas Knocks. This
is FSR. You can always check out the show on
the I Heart Radio app. You can catch us on
Sirius XM channel eighty three and on all of our

(02:01:01):
Fox Sports radio affiliates wherever you are taking part in
the program, all three hundred plus all across the country.

for a free rate quote. So, uh, we have got

(02:01:24):
four games in college football at four games in college football,
um and they're all important for one reason or another,
right because you've got three games that pick top twenty
five teams going against each other as everybody is sort
of jockeying for position. Because we've got the college football
Playoff which will be coming out, um in in a

(02:01:45):
couple of weeks from now, which is always fun and
it's always a hot topic. And it basically saved Wednesdays
during the football season for sports stock radio hosts because
Wednesdays there's not really a whole lot going on. So
when you could re get cap to college football playoff committees,
so election for the Tuesday night before, it'll save a
lot of people's shows on a Wednesday, and so teams

(02:02:06):
are trying to jockey for a position. And so there's
four games that I think are the most important games, right, Okay,
So the first one, you've got number two Georgia, number thirteen,
L s U. So that's the CBS SEC game. That's
gonna be a fun one. L s U lost. They're

(02:02:26):
gonna be piste off, you know, uh baton rouge is
gonna be is gonna be rolling their uh death Valley.
It's gonna be awesome. That's gonna be a fun game
to watch. You've got Washington and Oregon number seven, Washington
at number seventeen, Oregon, justin Herbert. I don't know. Look, man,
I'm not trying to pretend like I'm some quarterback whisper.
I have no idea how he translates to the pros.

(02:02:49):
I leave that to the professionals to break that stuff down.
But I'll say this, I watched him make a couple
of throws this season. That guy's got a real arm
and he looks like a real player at the NFL.
So if you're a giant fan walking watching on Thursday
night and you're trying to figure out who the quarterback
of the future is. Maybe it's not Kyle Loletta, your
fourth round pick. Maybe it's not Alex Tanney. Maybe he's

(02:03:11):
playing up at Austin Stadium and you can watch him
coming up on Saturday. Uh. And then the third game
is Nember nineteen, Colorado at USC It's a ten thirty
Eastern time kickoff on Fox Sports One. The only reason
I bring that up is because my radio wife, Brady Quinn,
will be on the call in that game at the Coliseum.

(02:03:31):
I mean, he couldn't come by the studio and hang
out with me, Like why, you know, why not? I mean,
you know, I just I only see him like three
times a year, But why would he want to come
by and hang out with me. Let's you know, just
go do your game and and get the hell out
of my state while you're at it. But so we've
got that. The game that I want to focus on
is the one. And I kid, by the way, Brady's
a good dude, he's a friend. We're just joking, So

(02:03:53):
don't don't running tattle to him on social media, you rats,
all right? So the game that I want to get
to is Wisconsin at Michigan so the Harbaugh haters, we're
ready to pounce. After Week one, they were all over
Jim Harbaugh. He's overrated, he's done nothing for the program,

(02:04:17):
most overhyped coach in college football history. He hasn't won
anything anywhere. Blah blah blah blah blah. I was in
Hawaii when they lost Week one to Notre Dame. And
that's not bragging. I'm saying that because I actually wanted
to see what some of the reaction was, because I

(02:04:38):
watched the game at the hotel bar. You know, I
was pulling one of those where I would tell my girlfriend, uh, hey,
I'm gonna run downstairs and get towels. And then one
of the trips halfway up, I forgot that I didn't
get towels, so I had to go back and grab
somebody's towel and bring it up like I actually went
down there to do something worthwhile, when reality was I

(02:04:58):
was just having a me chelata and two beers and
I was smoking them as fast as I could to
run back upstairs. But um, and who hasn't done that?
But I was watching it, and I'm looking through just
seeing because I'm watching the game play out, and Notre
Dame at home Week one, great environment, people are fired

(02:05:19):
up for the game, and Notre Dame is dominating the
line of scrimmage and I'm watching, I'm seeing some of
the reaction on social media, and I knew what was
going to happen, and I just wanted to make sure
that everything was confirmed. And it's like this, The game
wasn't even over and everybody was already firing off Harbor
hot takes, already just ripping Jim Harbaugh. He's overrated Michigan.

(02:05:43):
What a shocked. They were supposed to have a quarterback
this year getting crushed. And I'm watching and I'm just
making a note to keep it to myself, thinking, Okay, well,
let's just wait and see how the season turns out. Well,
as it turns out, Notre Dame is pretty damn good
if Notre Dame wins out there going to the college
football playoff period. As it turns out, Notre Dame's pretty

(02:06:06):
damn good. Michigan was in that game for most of
that game on the road in South Bend in a
crazy environment Week one of the season. Were crazy things
happen Week one in the NFL and college football Since
that game and all the Harbor Hot takes Michigan is

(02:06:28):
five and oh and they've outscored their opponents two twelve
to seventy one. I get it. Not the greatest strength
of schedule over that time. It's not like he's playing
powerhouse programs during that time. But don't you want to
have big games to look forward to? Honestly, don't you

(02:06:51):
want to root for that? If your team is not
in it, if your team's nowhere close to being a
top program in college football, or if your team isn't
in the NFL playoffs, don't you at least want to
see a good game? Well, I mean, just see a

(02:07:11):
good game when you're watching Patriots Eagles in the Super Bowl.
I'm not a Patriots fan. I'm not a Philadelphia Eagle fan.
The only person I know from Philadelphia is Anthony Gargano
and he's awesome. But other than that, I don't know

(02:07:32):
anybody from Philadelphia. I'm not a Patriots fan. But you
know what, that was a good game. I was into it,
Like we should all be rooting for good games. Every
one of us should be hoping to get the best
games possible with the most on the line every single time.

(02:07:52):
So if you do. And if you do want to
see good games, and that's what you're in this for.
If your team is not in it, you at LEAs
want to see good games. If that's the case, you're
rooting for Michigan on Saturday and you're rooting for him
to roll. And in fact, not only are you rooting

(02:08:12):
for Michigan on Saturday later today, you're also gonna be
rooting for Michigan against Michigan State next Saturday. And then
you're gonna be rooting for Michigan to beat Penn State
in three weeks, and then you're gonna be rooting for
Michigan to have one loss when they go to Columbus
the final week of the season to play Ohio State.

(02:08:34):
And do you want to know why you're gonna do that?
Because you want to see big games. You want to
watch a game that actually means something. You want as
many of those as possible. And in order to have that,
you gotta have Michigan run the table. You gotta have
Michigan get to Columbus last week of the season, a

(02:08:57):
month and a half from now, with everything to play for,
with a chance to potentially ruin Ohio State's perfect season.
Or Ohio State's opportunity to go to the Big Ten
title game and then to go to a college football playoff.
But to get there and actually have that game means
something you can hate Harbor. If they lose to Ohio State,

(02:09:20):
that hate is still gonna be there. I'm not telling
you to steer away from your Harbor hate. That's always
gonna be there. I mean, when a guy steps into
a program and he completely turns around the program, yet
for some reason, people still think it's a disappointment. A
program that was on death's door and people still think
it's a disappointment after all he's done in that program.

(02:09:42):
It can only be in one thing. You hate him
because he talks too much, or he's two in your face,
or he's two out in the open, or he's showing
up at a baseball game with a glove on. Uh,
he's at the sist chapel running patent go routes with
his quarterbacks. You just you don't like the idea of
Harbor doing some of the things that you've done, So

(02:10:04):
you've got to hold out of that Harbor hate. I'm
not telling you to get rid of all that. You
can still do it. If they lose to Ohio State.
He's two and eight against top fifteen teams in the
Associated Press. If he beats Wisconsin and he beats Penn State,
he'll still only be four and eight against top fifteen

(02:10:25):
teams in the Associated Press since he's been in Michigan.
So there's still plenty of hate to go around with
Jim Harbaugh. There's a lot of things you cannot like
about him, But I'm telling you you should be rooting
for as many big games as you can possibly get
all throughout the season in football. That's NFL and that's college.

(02:10:48):
You should want everybody healthy and you should want everybody
playing with something to play for, because it sucks when
teams are playing and the game doesn't mean anything. It
sucks watching a rivalry game and it doesn't mean anything
because it doesn't matter. You have so and so wins,
you know, like they should, they'll go on. But regardless,

(02:11:10):
this game doesn't mean anything to that other team. If
we get to that final week, Ohio States round the table,
Michigan still has that one loss against a very underrated
at the time Notre Dame team who's probably going to
the College Football Playoff. You have set the scene for
a phenomenal football game in Columbus the final week of
the season. You should want to see as many big

(02:11:32):
games as possible. Stop being negative, put away the negativity
for just a few weeks, put it in the holster,
be a Jim Harbaugh fan temporarily, and hope we get
to that final week. I think it's gonna be fantastic.

in about ten minutes from now here on FS are
we are going to hear the scraps, all right, if
you've never heard the scraps before here on Fox Sports Radio.
It's where we pay close to tensition to some stories

(02:13:01):
we have not had a chance to get through here
on FS are sometimes easier out of line. Sometimes we
can get in a little bit of trouble, but we
will get into that about ten minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. I'm still waiting, by the way
to get in reports of what the hell this burger
joint was in Milwaukee. Apparently this was put into play

(02:13:21):
years and years ago, like in the nineteen forties or something,
where a burger joint named George Webb in Wisconsin. If
the Brewers won twelve straight games, would be giving out
free burgers. In seven they give out like over a
hundred and sixty thousand free burgers. Apparently they're gonna be
doing that upcoming on Thursday, because the Brewers beat the

(02:13:43):
Dodgers in Game one of the NLCS on Friday night.
Uh so far, these are the reviews I've got of
George Webb right now. Again, if you happen to be
from Wisconsin and you know anything about George Webb the
Burger Joint, maybe you can do better than this. These
are the reviews on on George Webb that we've gotten

(02:14:04):
so far. Can I have a little bit of just
theme music here, because this is a this is good stuff.
A little little bit of theme music here as we
read off some of the reviews of George Webb, a
burger joint that nobody had ever heard of before this
promotion popped up and started making news on Friday. All right,
here we go. The Ben Maller Show talked about that

(02:14:27):
web restaurant last week. That's the only reason I've heard
of it. The Web is fantastic, better breakfast than burgers, though,
Jack Webb, nothing but the facts, ma'am. George Webb is
like a poor man's Dennis, I don't know. And last,

(02:14:49):
but not least, Charlotte's Web. All right, So there are
the reviews for George Webb the Burger Place handing out
free burgers coming up Thursday from Milwaukee Brewer fans uh
for seeing their team wins twelve straight games, So congratulations,
enjoy the burger um, it's free, which is code for

(02:15:10):
you'll never go back to pay for one, So enjoy
that on Thursday. I don't know if anybody else does this,
but sometimes you'll see something and you immediately think of
one person. I get some it'll happen on this show
from time to time. We talk about ConA Beer so
much because it's one of my favorite breweries. And so

(02:15:31):
people will send me pictures when they're drinking, like a
big wave or a longboard. It's a Hawaiian brewery, but
it's awesome. They have great beers. I don't think they
have a bad beer. Um. And so people whenever they
see ConA Beer, they'll send me a picture of them
drinking a beer. And there's just certain things to where
you see it and you immediately think of one person.

(02:15:53):
You'll beat an airport and you see a coffee mug
or a T shirt or something like that in the
gift shop and you think of one person, so you
take a picture and you say it to him. You'll
see a street sign, Uh, you have a buddy whose
last name is Lewis and you're passing a Lewis road
and you'll send a picture of it like this just
happens from time to time, Like when there's anything Iowa related,
I immediately think of Iowa sam our technical producer, which

(02:16:15):
I don't like because I hate his guts and he's
an alcoholic. But he is synonymous with Iowa. It's it's
put in my mind. It is planted there. It's a stamp.
Whenever I see anything Iowa related. I used to think
Field of dreams. That's all been wiped out. It is
now Iowa. Say on my technocal producer, because he's a
friend of mine and I see him every single weekend.

(02:16:38):
But I was watching Thursday Night, and I'll be honest
with you, the only person I could think of while
I was watching Thursday Night football was Ben McAdoo. Now
that's probably something I shouldn't have admitted on the air.
That sounds a little creepy that I was thinking about
Ben McAdoo while watching a football game. But just think
about what went down last year Ben McAdoo after his

(02:17:03):
team went to the playoffs the year before, after he
took over for Tom coughlin and they lost in the
playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. Ben McAdoo goes
into last season and there was a lot of promise.
There was a lot of people that actually liked the
Giants to win the NFC East A year ago and

(02:17:24):
Ben McAdoo dealt with an injury to his best wide receiver,
an offensive line that was atrocious and that's putting it mildly,
and an inconsistent defense with all sorts of dysfunction, guys
in the secondary calling each other out like all of
that stuff. So Ben McAdoo later in the season wanted

(02:17:48):
to get Geno Smith a look. So he approaches Eli
Manning and he says, hey, I want to keep your
consecutive start Street going, but in Oakland at halftime, I'd
like to put Gino in to get him some work.
And Eli Manning said, no, either he's starting or I'm

(02:18:10):
not coming out of the game. I don't like how
this feels. So Ben McAdoo started Geno Smith, and Eli
Manning was emotional talking about it, and he had tears
in his eyes and all of this stuff, and Ben
McAdoo made the tough choice. He made the tough call,

(02:18:32):
and he got clipped for it, got fired, organization through him,
under the bus, got buried for it, crushed. I backed
Ben McAdoo a year ago he gave Eli Manning the option.
Eli Manning could have started and come at at halftime.
And I sort of give Eli Manning a little bit

(02:18:52):
of credit as well too, because he didn't want it
to feel artificial. And I totally get it. But it's
not like Ben McAdoo said, hey man a few you're
sitting this one out and I'm putting in Geno Smith. No,
he gave him the option. Listen, we understand how much
the consecutive start streak means to you. I don't want
to take that away from you, but I do want

(02:19:13):
to give Geno Smith another look. He's been playing well
in practice. That was just the thinking behind it, and
you're going to Oakland and Eli Manning said no, I
don't want any part of it. And the organization, through
McAdoo under the bus, fired him, cleaned house. Everybody rallied

(02:19:34):
around Eli Manning. Poor Eli Manning, how dare you snap
his consecutive wind streak or consecutive start streak? Rather, how
dare you do that? Ben McAdoo. And now here they
are still a disaster, still drama, still dysfunction, and Ben
McAdoo gets to kick back and have a diet right

(02:19:58):
and watch that game on Thursday and go, I guess
I wasn't a problem. But here's the thing about the Giants.
Ben McAdoo was just one example of what the organization is.
Their heat checkers, their temperature takers. That's what the Giants are.
Ben McAdoo made the call last year with Eli Manning.

(02:20:21):
He made the tough call that nobody wanted to make
their because his last name's Manning. And he won you
a couple of Super Bowls. And what did the Giants do?
They fired him. Last May, Giants owner John Mara was
talking with the mm QB. Okay, nobody's brought this up.

(02:20:43):
John mar was talking with the mm QB about the
possibility of signing Colin Kaepernick. And these are quotes from
John Mara. Quote. All my years being in the league,
I've never received more emotional mail from people than I
did about that issue. If any of your players ever
do that, take a knee, we are never coming to

(02:21:05):
another Giants game. It wasn't one or two letters, it
was a lot. It's an emotional emotional issue for a
lot of people, more so than any other issue I've
run into. End quote. So let me get this straight,
because some fans told you they weren't going to come
to your football games. That's why you wouldn't entertain the

(02:21:27):
idea of signing signing Colin Kaepernick or having one of
your players take a knee. If I was John Mara
and I said it at the time, I would have said, Oh,
you don't want to come to the games, I don't care.
Don't show up. There's a there's a season ticket waiting
list four years long. Somebody will be right there to

(02:21:47):
take your spot. But he didn't do that because he's
a temperature taker. Their their heat checkers. That's what they do.
They take the temperature of the public and the media
and then they proceed. You've gotten multiple examples of it.

(02:22:10):
They fired a head coach for daring to sit Eli
Manning at halftime of a game because it got negative
backlash from the media and all the fanboys who wanted
to make sure that their number ten jersey was still
relevant for another season. And it's the same ownership who

(02:22:32):
last May used letters sent from angry fans about no
showing games. As to their reasoning behind why, you know
they were uncomfortable with the kneeling issue in the NFL
and Colin Kaepernick and that whole subject in storyline, like,

(02:22:53):
nobody's going to show up to Giants games. If if
I was the owner of a football team and somebody
threatened me and said, I'm never going to your game
if you do this, I'd say, cool, you're not allowed.
Kiss my ass. Take a walk. There's somebody right behind you,
somebody right behind them. In fact, there's a long list,
and somebody else is going to take that spot. By CIA,

(02:23:15):
what are you doing. You're one of the most prominent
organizations in the NFL and you've turned into temperature takers.
Oh hey, guys, before we do anything, let's let's see
what kind of feedback we're gonna get. It's like what
L s U did with Less Miles a couple of
years ago. They leaked to report that less Miles is
gonna get fired before the end of the season, and
all of a sudden, Less Miles showed up to do

(02:23:37):
his coaches show and some little girl was crying at
his coaches show in some pool hall in Baton Rouge,
And what did L s U do. They came out
and said, oh, we're not firing less Miles. Hell no,
he's our coach. Moving forward, four weeks into the next season,
he got fired. Hey, come on, man, your temperature takers.

(02:23:57):
That's what the New York Giants have turned into. They
now take the temperature of the room before they make
a decision. It's amazing. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio eight seven,

Kershaw lasted just three innings. He gave up five runs,
four of them were earned. He got no help from
his defense. Dodgers committed four errors on the nights. Milwaukee
reliever Brandon Woodruff got the victory has to add insult
to injury. He had a home run off of Kershaw

one of the smartest guys in the business. Thanks pal,

(02:26:09):
I appreciate. How about that a little bit of positive feedback?
All right? Um? Speaking of all right, it is time
to get to a little something we do on the show,
and it's called this, Jonas, how could you not get to?

(02:26:29):
These stories are the scraps? And for that we turn
it over the great and powerful Kevin Figures to find
out what the hell we've missed. keV, Thanks so much, Jonas.
Of course we know James Nay Smith, a Canadian in
his own right, invented the sport of basketball. Basically in
a group in Canada's trying to bring bring their sport
back to the Motherland. Apparently, a business group in Quebec

(02:26:52):
met with Commissioner Adam Silver earlier this week and they
are preparing to install a bid to try to bring
a professional basketball franchise to Quebec. Of course, we know
they have a great success with Toronto Raptors, not so
much success with the Vancouver Grizzlies that moved to Memphis.
But trying to bring basketball back to Canada. You like
the move or no? Um, don't they have the Raptors

(02:27:20):
Toronto does not? Not Montreal? Yeah, I don't. Can't they
get a team in Seattle? First? Like? I don't know? Why?
Why does? Why do league? Is it just to have options?
I'm sure? I mean, do you think Vegas is probably
in the pipeline somewhere too, because they're gonna have two
professional franchises with the next couple of years. I mean,
the NFL could figure out which which games they could

(02:27:42):
put in London and which games they could put in
Azteca Stadium, but they couldn't figure out to catch until recently.
Why why? Why? Why are we doing this all wrong?
Why are you doing the most difficult thing? First? It
look Seattle seems like they desperately want a team back,
and and man, growing up, the SuperSonics were always a

(02:28:04):
good team, no doubt like they and they had good
players like that just seems like a no brainer. Nobody's
clamoring for cool back right. No, they had a great
fan base of Seattle to un still do we know
there was a lot of a preseason game earlier this
week where the Oklahoma City Thunder came in and Kevin
Durant warre his old Seattle Sonics jersey and they went nuts.
They loved it up there still And and by the way,
that's not it not to take a shot at our

(02:28:25):
friends listening on t s n UP in Canada. You know,
we love you. You know, we talk CFL football here
and in fact, we are going to do an all
CFL edition of the Jonas Knock Show here on Fox
Sports Radio. That'll be coming up October thirty three, All
CFL talk, four hours of nothing but the CFL October

(02:28:45):
thirty three here on Fox Sports Radio. And I believe
us at Oklahoma City Thunder. Of course, Durant now plays
for the Golden State Warriors, So that's a slip on
my part. By the way, one eight keV. Here's the thing.
Everybody's hammered. Nobody knows perfect, no idea fine or Watson
is still playing who knows? By the way, So I
think a big reason why Seattle and a big reason
why the Sonics moved was because there wasn't a lot
of private funding for a stadium. Apparently this group in

(02:29:08):
Quebec is willing to pay two billion dollars to fund
the building of a stadium and buying a franchise. So
I think more or less nowadays, when we're talking about
these franchises popping up, who's willing to basically pay the
entire bill and not have to use public money. So
I think that's kind of the direction these things are
going because people don't want to pay taxpayer of money
for these arenas. Look, Adam Silver, you want to do

(02:29:30):
something fun? Man? All right? Because I know Adam Silver,
everybody ball washes like he's the He's a cool guy. Man,
He's he's a cool commissioner. He's so cool because he
fired Donald Sterling. I mean, for God's sakes, man, all
you had to do was listen to that interview he
gave and you want to fired him. I mean, what
are we talking about? It wasn't like a momentous job
done by Adam Silver. That was a no brainer. Um,

(02:29:53):
If Adam Silver really wants to to make a move
that's gonna resonate with people, why don't you do the
smart thing and a betting boosts in every stadium. Okay,
let's turn this up a notch. All right, let's let's
really get people excited to go to a Hawks gam
That's the move that's gonna be difficult. No matter what
you do, they see your negative Just such a negative person,

(02:30:14):
Kevin unbelievable started just the negativity from Kevin Figgers supporting
Canada over Atlanta. How dare you? I'm just the realist.
Jonas who doesn't love the Mounties? Come on, Great Wrestling
Tag Team back today, by the way, the Mounties all right,
Cowdle Boys in the news once again. Jerry Jones did
an interview earlier today, as he always does. It's I mean,
there's a microphone in his face. He's gonna talks on

(02:30:37):
the fan once again. It says JR. Jason Garrett is
absolutely the real deal. There's no fraud in Jason Garrett.
He is going to leave the Cowboys to a championship.
Of course, he's just a few games over, has only
made the playoffs a couple of times as head coach,
and he's been there for a long while. And to
piggyback on that story earlier this week, I saw this too.
Apparently Cowboy fans have started a petition to bring back

(02:30:59):
Tony Romo out of retirement. The petition is a signatures
as of about ten minutes ago, they had about seventeen
Excuse me, Okay, if and this is just the blind game.
If I've told you that I've got a quarterback and

(02:31:20):
he had a really really really good year. Um, and
in fact, he's had some really really good games, and
then not that long after that really really good year,
I took away his top two wide receiver targets and
also his offensive line was significantly worse. Would you expect
him to still be a great quarterback? No questions asked,

(02:31:42):
unless he's a Hall of Famer, No, like Aaron Rodgers
type of the Uh, that's Dak Prescott. And for people
that are that are crushing Dak Prescott, like it's a
Dak Prescott problem in Dallas. What were your expert What
did you think he was? I don't understand, like he
can win you games. He's already won you games at
the NFL level, but you need pieces around him. He's
not Rogers to your point, He's not a Drew Brees.

(02:32:05):
He's not Brady. And anybody that's expecting him to still
put up big numbers when he lost everybody his I mean,
he lost an offensive lineman to a disease before the season,
and the idea that he should still be putting up
these great numbers that he did his rookie years just unrealistic.
I just I don't understand now the petition to bring

(02:32:26):
back Tony Romo. I was so, I was watching the
Tony Romo Football Life documentary. You know it's it's actually
really good. Um. Fox Sports Radio makes an appearance on
the Tony Romo documentary. Somebody sent out a tweet like
they did a screenshot one of the reviews of Tony
Romo's early games as a broadcaster, and it was a

(02:32:47):
quote from the Fox Sports Radio Twitter account that said, um,
Tony Romo is a home run already as a broadcaster.
And uh that clearly meant that they didn't hear my
show with Brady Quinn because we have crushed Tony Romo
on several occasions because of some of the calls he's made.

(02:33:08):
But mormally just teasing, we're just busting balls. But um, yeah,
it's it's pretty good. But I don't I don't think
he has any interest in going back. Man. I don't
think so. I think he set I think there was
an offer on the table, and I heard there was
an offer on the table from the Houston Texans. Um
if you wanted to go back there, But I just
don't think he would walk back. And I've heard that

(02:33:29):
his relationship with Jason Garrett is not good. They were
really really close. They hung out all the time together,
and after the Dak Prescott decision was made to make
him the starter, Tony Romo was so piste off that
he wasn't even given a chance to compete for the job.
That that him and Jason Garrett have not been the
same since so and then you're making you have a

(02:33:50):
cushy job, sitting next to Jim Nance making a lot
of money. Why would you want to go back down
there and have J. J. Watts snap your back in
half again? Man? And he's had bad injuries. He's had
a lot of injuries, and they broke on some of
the injuries he's had in his career. It's a tough dude, man.
And he was a good quarterback. I don't care what
he means, but he says he was. I thought he
was so misunderstood and so underrated because he's a Cowboys quarterback.

(02:34:10):
Everybody hated him. That that's the problem when he had
enough talent around him, when he had a legitimate running game.
Were there fourteen and two that year DeMarco Murray, who
now works for Fox as an analyst, had that excellent
seventeen under yard rushing year. That was the year that
the Dez Bryant catch no catch against Green Bay. I
mean they were on their way possibly to go into
the Super Bowl. That had a perfect team that season,
and Romo was huge, one of the best years of

(02:34:32):
his career. Yeah, they were a good team. His fourth
quarter numbers are amongst the best in the history of
the league. I just think he gets a bad knock um,
you know, because he's a Cowboys quarterback and because uh,
you know, he see him. People assumed that he was
fake in the way his enthusiasm, But no, I always
thought he was really And some will never forget the

(02:34:52):
botched snap in Seattle and that that playoff game. All right,
well I want to botch the two man that Paul looks.
It looked like somebody had a blown snot rocket's on
that thing for twenty minutes. Slippery that was come back
and look at the tape, no doubt one more before
you check out of here. Lee C. Merkel of Roley,
North Carolina, he passed away earlier this week. Uh. He
was a big Buffalo Bills fan. And a line in

(02:35:14):
those obituary reads quote Lee has requested six Buffalo Bills
players as Paul Bears so they can let him down
one last time. Yeah, how strong is that? And apparently
Mr Marco went to all four of their super Bowl losses.

(02:35:35):
There are four straight super Bowls that they went to
our loss. He would attended every last one of those
long suffering Bills fan in every sense of the word. Look,
this is a topic we can get into, uh during
like July when there's nothing else to talk about and
we don't want to break down the All Star Game.
But I still think that those Bills teams. I still
call that a dynasty easily. Four straight super bowls. People

(02:35:58):
that say no, you gotta win one man, No, no,
bs four straight super bowls to get over the disappointment
and to get there four times in a row, that's
enough in dynasty. Ridiculous. Now it's a dynasty. Like listen,
we don't need to uh, and we're not gonna let
Sam's negative energy feed into this segment anymore than already
has uh. I called a dynasty, I really do I

(02:36:21):
I And if you watch the documentary The Four Falls
of Buffalo, how devastated Scott Norwood to this day still
is like he is devastated and he was a good
kicker and he won a lot of games for him,
but he just missed that one kick and and his
life was never the same. And it's not It wasn't
a chips chip shot. It was what forty five yards

(02:36:41):
are missing extra points at thirty three yards today? What
are we talking about? Yeah? It's uh man, Yeah, that's
that's rough. But so the Bills can let him down,
that is real good. By the way, I was gonna say, um,
be careful after you pass having former Buffalo Bills around um,
because the last time that happened, she incognito was in
a funeral home and he was requesting to remove his

(02:37:03):
father's head. So that's right, just saying thanks for the scraps,
no problem. That is Rome malicious. Be a professional here,

(02:37:24):
all right, Jonas knocks Fox Sports Rade, I'm not gonna
let the Shenanigans take over the show. Are these immature
people I work with. All right, coming up next year
on fs ARE, people have said some nasty things in
the world of sports. You will hear all of them,
even some things that you never thought you would hear.
Those are all coming up next year. On Fox Sports Radio,
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio coming to you live here

(02:37:46):
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. So we will
have another edition of out of Context here on fs ARE,
where people from the world of sports say some things
that weren't intended to be inappropriate but are sick and twisted.
Producer Mike Mayer makes them sound inappropriate, so that I'll
be coming up momentarily here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh,

(02:38:07):
do you want to remind you? Coming up less than
ten minutes from now here? On Fox Sports Radio, the
fellas normally with Anthony Gargano and Lincoln Kennedy, but Lincoln
Kennedy is in London calling the Raiders Seahawks game with
the great Bret Musburger. So in place of Lincoln Kennedy

(02:38:31):
is Brian Baldinger, who's one of the best analysts on
the NFL network. You've seen him for years and years
if you follow him on Twitter like I do, he
breaks down film and breaks down tape as well as
anybody out there. One of the really really, really really
good NFL analysts anywhere. You'll hear him with Anthony Gargano

(02:38:52):
coming up less than ten minutes from now here on
Fox Sports Radio. They're gonna have all sorts of stuff
on Thursday Night, ball the disaster that are the New
York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles, so make sure you
stick around for that. Also a ton of college football
as well too. Right now here on the show, it
is time for something we do every single week, and

(02:39:13):
it's called this. It's time to make people in sports
sound even worse than they already did this week. Similar
to this long sentence that I just read, but it's
out of contact. It's not about basketball when I talked
to him, it's talking about country music and WW Regardless

(02:39:34):
of what I gotta do three dudes like it was tonight,
most of the times, I'm gonna try to find my
ass off. I really think he could be a really
big piece of us. I don't care what you put
up this week. The thing was cranking on views no
matter what you put up behind early no choice but
the flush. Okay, he brought the juice. He brings the juice.

(02:39:57):
Got the longest arms, biggest hands, can jump, the highest running.
I screwed it up in the box a little bit,
and I was gonna be swinging at anything and try
to hook, hook anything whatever. I welcome this morning to
the shower, and I was just so great. I thought
he hit that pretty solid. That was just a miss.
It was pretty close. It's just a miss. It's good
to see the other side of it. We took a
hard path to get to this point. No more clutching
and grabbing. Oh there it is. Uh yeah, that's that's

(02:40:21):
a courtesy of Mike Mayer. Uh. He's he's got problems upstairs.
H So blame him for all the inappropriate commentary there.
