Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio. What a title? Are
you ready? Spread the darkness? The Princes of Darkness? The
prints of Darkness is in the house of Jonas Knocks.
The story is Jonas Knocks. Well me God, like I said,
Jonas Knocks is coming through your speakers like a right

(00:22):
cross from a boxer that you've never heard of. What's
going on here and now, live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, here's Jonas Knocks. You're really going through with
this hunt Cheese. So sometimes you just gotta scratch your head.

(00:51):
You gotta scratch your head and wonder what the hell
was anybody thinking. We will get into that for you.
It's an NFL story coming up here, just a couple
of moments now, Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can
hang out with us as always on the I Heart
Radio app. You can find this on hundreds of affiliates
all across the country and wherever the hell you are
making us a part of your Saturday morning. We appreciate

(01:13):
you doing so. We are going to take you all
the way up until neon and Eastern time, nine am
Pacific right here on Fox Sports Radio. And now keep
the round of applause going because this is warranted a
round of applause. Yeah, yeah, give it up. I mean
give it up for Deshaun Watson, who has finally apologized. Yeah, congratulations,

(01:39):
Deshaun Watson has finally done it. He has apologized everybody.
I mean, he wasn't made made available after the game,
of course, last night, but he did apologize previously to
the game, which makes his first acknowledgement or apology in
I don't know a year and a half or so
that this whole thing has gone on. Look, I don't
really care about the apology. I don't care here. I mean,

(02:03):
a lot of people can apologize if you do something egregious,
if you do something predatory, as the commissioner pointed out
earlier this week, you can go ahead and apologize and
say whatever you want after the fact. Doesn't change the
fact that stuff happened. And we all know what that
stuff is. It's been documented over and over and over again.
And there's a lot of people that are fatigued by this.
I talked about it last week. We just want the

(02:25):
story to be over with. Make a decision and let's
move on. So he doesn't apologize, then he's not made
available after the game, and of course people are criticizing
the Browns, like, oh, well, why you know, why was
he not made available after the game? Uh? You know
what's Uh? He should be out there, he should be
able to answer these questions. These are hard hitting questions,
like what do you I mean, what do you need

(02:46):
to ask? I think we all know he's It's not
like this is the first time he's talked. He's spoken before,
and the stuff that he said hasn't made any sense. Well,
you know, nothing happened. I have a girlfriend. Okay, that's
a lie because afterwards it was acknowledged by your own
legal team that stuff did happen. Okay, so there's a lie.

(03:07):
Well you know that wasn't wasn't my intent. I I
wasn't meaning this. Uh no, that okay, Well then why
were there sixty and seventy different points? Like like all
of it doesn't make any sense. But I don't even
care about all that. I don't care that he apologized.
I don't care that Deshaun Watson wasn't made available after
the game, and people think, oh, it's a coward moved
by the Browns. Here's the question I have, what was

(03:32):
the point of him playing last night. But seriously, what
was the point what did anybody get out of that?
I mean, some Jaguars fans who paid like three bucks
for tickets, they showed up to the game. Uh, they
took their snorkels out because they were up in the
swimming pools in the top deck. And then one of

(03:53):
them made a sign that said, Deshaun Watson, can I
borrow some massage oil? So there was that out there.
Then there was a chant, a you sick bleep chant
from fans there at the Jaguars game against the brand
like all that stuff. So so they're they're getting on
him and they're they're they're booing him. And if he
thinks that sort of treatment is bad, just wait until

(04:14):
he finally does play whenever that is, and he goes
on the road to a hostile environment there because people
are going to forget. They're just not this stuff happens.
People aren't going to forget. But I don't understand why
he was out there to begin with. What was gained

(04:35):
by that? Like it it doesn't make any like why
would well, you know, um, I mean, he's he's allowed to.
I mean, they haven't made a decision on his actual suspension,
so while they're waiting around, he can. Okay, but if
you're the NFL, if you're the Browns, like, why even
put him out there? Kind of a weird look. No,

(04:59):
you got Drew Goodell, as I said a couple of
minutes ago, going on and talking after an owner's meeting
during the week, calling to Shaun Watson predatory and uh,
egregious behavior. Oh but let's go ahead and throw him
out there in a preseason game for three series? Why
for what? If you're the Browns, why is he out there? Well,

(05:24):
you want to knock some of the rough stoff. He
hasn't played in a long time. What so he can
go sit down and not play for another three or
four months, if not a year. What's the point? It
doesn't make any sense. And it's like, Hey, we're gonna
have a huge party later on, make sure we deep

(05:45):
clean the house before everybody gets here. Why they're just
gonna destroy it. I don't I'd understand. Hey, we're gonna
go we're gonna play a mud football coming up later on.
Just got had a nice fresh rain and it's real
sloppy out there. We're gonna play some mud football. I
gotta go get some shoes first, though, we're gonna get

(06:07):
him from your closet. Now, I'm gonna go to uh,
like a Dick Sporting Goods or someplace like that. They
got they got a special going on. So you're gonna
buy new shoes just so you can ruin him. What's
the point? It doesn't make sense. You put him out
there for three series, he goes one of five just

(06:27):
so he can sit down for another six months. Well,
he hasn't played in a while, and I got news
for you, he ain't gonna play for a long time
after this, So what was the point. It's like it
reminds me of the guy who wants to get in shape.
He's got a big trip coming up in the summertime

(06:48):
and says, hey, I got this big trip coming up.
I gotta get in shape, so I'm going to the
gym later on. Nice. Yeah, hey, when's the trip Monday?
But you haven't been to the gym at all? And yeah,
I know, I gotta get this one. Dude. Just go
get a beer. It's it's over there. There's no point,

(07:11):
but go get a beer, Go get a sloppy Joe,
and go get a bag of funians to water it
down with and on your way home, stop at seven
eleven or Circle K and get a pack of those
six little mini donuts, the crumb kind. Because it doesn't matter.
You can. You can work out as hard as you
want for two hours, three hours, You could be there

(07:33):
twenty four hours. Nothing's gonna make up for the fact
that once you go there, you are what you are.
Deshaun Watson situation is what it is. There's not an apology,
there's not a postgame press conference. There's nothing that can
be done or said that's going to change what is
happening next. Well, he's counter His counter proposal was eight

(07:57):
games and five million dollars. That's cool, cool. I remember
I tried that with my mom one time. I try
to counter offer to a punishment with her. Guess what happened.
She slapped that you know what out of me. It's like,
it doesn't mean you can counter and do whatever. None
of it matters him. Playing last night didn't matter. It's over.

(08:21):
He's gonna get an increase in games off his six
games suspension, and he's gonna get popped millions upon millions
of dollars. That's how this thing is gonna go and
the decisions probably coming this week. So again, why was
he out there? Because once he does get suspended, it's
a binding agreement and they're gonna be held to that.

(08:44):
The NFL, p A, the NFL, Deshaun Watson, the Browns,
everybody's gonna be held to that. So if he ends
up getting suspended this week, and he probably is, and
it comes down this week, and it's gonna be twelve games,
or it's gonna be the entire season, and guess what,
he's gonna go back on the shelf and not be
allowed to play for months. So why was he out

(09:07):
there for three series? It's like nothing was gained by
it except a bunch of drunk fans in Jacksonville got
to boo him and got to give him a hard time.
And I gotta give you. I gotta give Jacksonville Jaguar
fans credit their last two outings impactful Week seventeen or eighteen,

(09:31):
whatever it was against the Colts last year, it was
a clown out. Everybody dressed up as clowns, showed up
to the game, got Carson Wentz all rattled, and the
Colts collapsed to miss the playoffs. And then they come
back that they take an off season off, they come back,
first preseason game at home again after the Hall of

(09:53):
Fame game, and what do they do. They got massage
oil signs. They're chanting you sick bleep. I mean, they're
really poor their hearts out here. So give it up
for Jaguars fans. By the way, I think last night
was actually the most covered Jaguars game since the a
f C title game they lost to New England. So look,

(10:14):
there was some positives at all this, but I'm trying
to figure out from the Brown side and from the
NFL side, what was the point? Why was he there?
It didn't make sense. He's gone. It's gonna be a wrap.
So people can get up in arms about the apology,
people can get all pissy about him not being made
available in the postgame press conference. I couldn't give a

(10:36):
crap about any of that, because ultimately this week a
decision is going to be made and Deshaun Watson is
going to miss a significant amount of time and he's
gonna get find a significant amount of money, and that's
all that matters at this point. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio.

christ Man Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. Listen to us

(12:30):
as always on the I Heart Radio app. By the way,
we are going to get into this narrative that you
know is being formed a little bit in the NFL. Uh.
We will have that discussion for you coming up here
just a couple of moments from now. By the way,
I have a a buddy. Do you ever ever like met,
like known when somebody's about to have a crazy weekend

(12:54):
and you're not involved, and you're just thinkna, not even
that you want to live vicariously through them, but you're
just thinking themselves, Oh, they're going away, it's about to
get wild. It's like when you when you walk through
the airport when you're going on vacation. When you walk
through the airport, there's like a different vibe as you're
putting your stuff through T S A and and finally

(13:14):
you get through there. And then as you pass through
and you get into the concourse and you see all
the airport bars and all this time, there's just a
vibe to it, as opposed to when you're coming back
and you're loading everything up. Everybody looks miserable. They're hungover there, depressed,
they smell, they're just a whole different vibe going to
and coming back from. And so when you see people

(13:35):
on their way to things, you just think, man, they're
gonna get after it. I got a buddy who doesn't
get out of the house very much, and he's going
to Vegas and he's got a wife and a small child,
and it's like one of the rare times he's been
away from him. And he's going to be at the
airport and probably I want to say, like half hour,

(14:00):
maybe forty five minutes, because it's gonna be a quick
you know, in and out when it goes to security,
kind of a smaller airport, and he's gonna be sitting
at an airport bar within an hour, and he is
going to get absolutely obliterated. And and if I were
at a sports book right now, if DraftKings had a
prop bet up whether or not he makes it onto

(14:20):
the airplane before throwing up all over himself. I would
bet a significant amount of money on the fact that
he's not going to make that flight a signific because
he can't control himself, all right, So he is going
to be a walking barf bag onto the plane. If
he goes to put anything in the overhead compartment, god forbid,

(14:41):
somebody bumps into him, he's gonna fall over. He's going
to fall into the into the drink train, into the
drink station. It's going to be a disaster. And and
he is on his way to absolute doom. There's a
hangover right around the corner, and I just I'm sitting
back and he's kind of letting everybody know, Hey, I'm
almost there. I'm gonna be at the air sports soon.
I'm gonna be And I'm just thinking to myself, dude,

(15:02):
they have no idea what's happening. There's a guy who's
clocking in at that airport right now, a bus boy,
one of the one of the helpers there behind the bar,
who has no idea he's going to be cleaning up
a puddle of puke in about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Has no idea, and I literally almost threw up. No, no,
it's not almost. Not almost he did, and I agree,

(15:29):
thank you, coach. So there it is. So if you're
if you're getting ready for a wild weekend, you've got
nothing on this dude. He is solo without wife and kid,
and he is he is about ready to strap in
and buckle up on the vomit commet and just take
all the way off. So it's gonna be a fun
ride for him. Speaking of fun rides, by the way,

(15:49):
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio, I'm seeing this discussion that's
happening in the NFL. We're talking about the Deshaun Watson.
What was the point of him being out there? It
didn't make any sense to me. I'm also seeing some
other people bring up the discussion when it comes to
Zach Wilson. You know, why was Zach Wilson even out there?
You know, he injures his knee, and it's like Aaron

(16:12):
Rodgers and and these other guys aren't playing in preseason games,
and it's like, is it really worth the preseason? You're
just you're risking everything, you're dude, non contact injury that
can happen at any time. Zach Wilson being out there.
That can happen at any that could happen in practice,
that could happen at twenty four hour fitness, that could

(16:33):
happen jogging in the street, that could happen at any time.
There's somebody playing kickball this week who's gonna suffer an injury.
It can happen at any time. Zach Wilson being out
there and him injuring his knee, that's just tough. Look,
that's that's a tough break. It sucks. They're they're reportedly optimistic.

(16:53):
They think, you know, the a c L is intact. There.
I saw somebody through out there it might have been
a PCL injury whatever or so. I mean, they feel
fortunate that that Zack Wilson it's not anything more serious.
But dude, these these guys gotta play like if Zach
Wilson gets hurt in the preseason or gets hurt in
the regular season on the second drive of the year,

(17:15):
I mean, what's the difference. If you get hurt, you
get hurt. I just this idea that one thing is
applicable to everybody. Well, Aaron Rodgers isn't playing in the preseason,
Aaron Rodgers has been in the NFL since the nineteen thirties.
He doesn't need any more preseason reps. He knows, he
gets it. Been here. Awhile like Tom Brady leaving the

(17:40):
Bucks for ten days? Oh my god, what's going on?
I don't know his business? Who cares? Not gonna impact
the season? Does it matter? Like he's been there for
you for long enough in the league, long enough that
it doesn't matter. Zack Wilson, they're not sure about so
they need to get him some reps. They put him
out there, he suffers an injury. It's a tough break.

(18:01):
It's a tough luck for a guy. You thought maybe
he was gonna bounce back in the year two. A
lot of people were pretty down on him after last year.
But like, dude, it it is what it is the NFL.
You're gonna get hurt, like things are gonna happen, like
this idea that, well, this is why they shouldn't have
a preseason. Just should never preseason. We should just get
straight to the regular season. Okay, So tell that to

(18:23):
Teddy Bridgewater, whose leg almost fell off in practice a
couple of years ago. All right, tell that to Teddy Bridgewater.
Pretty sure. Deshaun Watson tore his a c L the
first time in the NFL in practice, like David Bakdari
suffered in knee injury in practice. So what do you
want you guys? You don't want guys practicing anymore? Like,

(18:44):
what are we doing? We just get to the games. Hey,
just show up to the game, right, and whatever you do,
don't walk. In fact, lie down on a skateboard because
we don't want to risk youe turning an ankle on
your way to the stadium. All right, so lie down
on a skateboard. Uh, find enough hills that you can
build up some momentum and then let's get there. It's

(19:04):
like people want these guys to roll around in neutral, Like, dude,
they're not running out of gas and you're going down
a hill trying to get to the gas station. So
you throw out in neutral, which, by the way, does work.
Just want to recommend that to anybody. Does work? I've
been there a couple of times, Like, dude, these guys
are gonna get injured. That that's part of the deal.
I don't I don't know why people freak out about

(19:25):
this stuff. It happens if players want to play or
participate in the preseason and you feel like they need
some reps. Then they need some reps. But this is
part of the risk that comes along with it. You
can't avoid it. It's gonna happen from time to time.
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio again, get me on Twitter
at the Jonas knocks at the Jonas knocks on Twitter.
Also this Fernando Tattoos thing. This is what's so funny

(19:49):
about this. So first, his teammates aren't happy with him,
They call him immature. He gets popped for some I
don't know, some p D called cholesterol or who cares
at this point, Yeah I don't. I don't even like
who cares Colgate who knows. Anyways, he gets popped for
this uh this PD that nobody can pronounce. And so

(20:09):
he gets suspended eight games. This on top of his
motorcycle crash, This on top of some other stuff that's
gone on, and he got his teammates calling him out
for him Well, you know, he's being immature and he's
this and that, and people are like, oh, he's tainted.
Oh what a tainted legacy of Fernando tattoos. I got
news for you. If Fernando Tattoos comes back and continues

(20:32):
to play well like he was playing before. I don't
care that he took some p E D called Coleman,
named after a tent company. I don't care whatever it's called.
But it's just this this narrative around p E d

(20:52):
S that is so funny to me. When DeAndre Hopkins
got popped for p d S and he came out
and said, I didn't take it. I promise you I
didn't take it. Uh that there there must have been
an issue with a supplement that was going on. Everybody
immediately says, uh, guy's a liar. Guy's a liar. Not
Fernando Tattoos who came out and said he was taking

(21:13):
it because what was he had ring worm whatever whatever?
Whatever ring worm is, you know, like it's it's some
some skin thing where you have a circle on your arm.
I played football with the guy who had ring worm.
You could land a helicopter on this thing. It was disgusting,
but hey, it happened. Filthy locker room shout out the
thousand Oaks High places a dump. But point being, Fernando

(21:37):
Tattoos says, well, I'm taking it for ring worm and
then there's some speculation, well, he's taking it because he's
trying to heal, he's coming back from this injury, and
it's gonna help you heal faster, whatever the case is,
whatever it is. The problem with p E d s,
and this has always bothered me, is that everybody just
assumes that your Lance Armstrong, Oh, it must be lying.

(22:01):
I mean Lance Armstrong lied, so so clearly this guy
must be lying. He's a cheater. He was knowingly cheating,
he was blatantly cheating, and so you got to punish
him to the full extud of the law. It doesn't
make any sense, all right. This has been proven and
has happened multiple times. And this is the quiet part
you never hear about. You hear about the loud stuff.

(22:21):
You're about the accusations and people telling you, oh, well,
this guy's a cheater, he's a fraud, this taints his legacy, etcetera, etcetera.
And I'm not saying that this is applicable to Fernando Tattoos,
because he's already given his excuse and it's ring worm.
But when you hear guys like DeAndre Hoppins and some
other people talk about p E. D. S and they
say I didn't knowingly take anything. The immediate reaction from

(22:46):
of people on social media, whether it be Twitter or
fake book or snap face and all these other sites
is that guy's a liar. It's been proven multiple times,
not only in professional sports like the NFL, but also
in the UFC. This has happened in mixed martial arts

(23:07):
multiple times, where a guy will get popped for taking
a banned substance, he will fight the suspension, it will
go under review, and after an investigation, they find out
he's telling the truth. Because what ends up happening is
when you buy these supplements, they go to a third
party distributor because labor might be cheaper in some of

(23:30):
these facilities. And so therefore, when you're trying to build
your company up and you want to save costs and
you've got to put all this stuff together, you will
outsource these labs and these places to get this stuff
put together and bottled and sent out to distributors, whether
it be g n C or some of these other places.
And what ends up happening is that while they're mixing

(23:52):
these supplements and bottling them up, these legal substances that
these guys have taken for years with no issue whatsoever,
there will be another substance inside the vat and residue
from it that would ignite a positive test. And you
could say, oh my god, that sounds hokey, it sounds
conspiracy theory. It is a fact. It's been proven. They've

(24:15):
done They've done deep dives, research, investigations, all of it,
and it's been proven. No, these guys weren't lying. They
took a supplement. That supplement was tainted by another supplement,
not of they're doing. They didn't know anything about it.
And those guys end up pissing hot and it ends

(24:37):
up looking like they're on the gas because they there
they bought a supplement that was tainted by an outside
lab that they had nothing to do with. So when
you are quick to judge on p E. D S
and some of the other stuff that goes on, and
you're quick to judge on all, this guy to got
tested positive, he must be a cheater. Just understand it's

(24:58):
not one ice fits all when it comes to the
accusation and the guilt on this stuff. It's just not
not everybody's Lance Armstrong, not everybody's Ryan Braun, Not everybody
is some of these big name athletes who have been
popped for it, and they are absolutely one guilty. And
I'm not saying this specifically applies to Fernando Tattoos. But

(25:22):
the reason why I'm not going to be hard on
this guy or bury him or criticize his legacy is
because there is a misnomber about p E d s.
There have been for years and it still goes on.
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio, Get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knocks. Let's go live to our I am
currently taking anabolic steroids insider Iowa Sam for the latest Sam.
Oh yeah, that of course, um no. I It's kind

(25:44):
of reminds me of when um, you'll see like on
the back of a package of some like vegan um,
you know, some vegan fruit bar something that's like hippie food, right,
They're like, this facility also makes products. Um that shares
a facility that makes products to continan you know, peanuts
and you know shellfish or milk or you know porkloin's

(26:05):
whatever it may be. It because there's a chance in
that same lab that some of that residue could get
on to whatever that fruit bar or whatever. You know.
The fruit roll up or the pop tart like whatever.
I think this stuff happens, like these are being distributed
in the same labs as a bunch of other stuff,
and and and it's been proven. But a guy tests

(26:28):
positive for something DeAndre Hopkins got buried for it, They're like,
oh my god, this guy's a cheat. It's like no, no, no, no.
This has been proven that guys have taken supplements that
have been tainted. Not if they're doing that they didn't
know anything or have any responsibility for, but they get
all the blame for it, and then everybody crushes them
for it. I refused to play that game. So there,
this has been your your educational segment here on how

(26:52):
to properly take p D s here on Fox Sport Trading.
So I've got we got a lot done here. So
that is so if you're looking for an excuse on
how to cheat the system, apparently we just gave you
a few minutes of that. All right, Jonas knocks here,
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the
Jonas Knocks on Twitter. We are going to get into
some news out of the NFL, some interesting news and
probably not a good look for one quarterback in the league.
We'll have that for you. But for all the latest

(27:13):
from around the world of sports ladies and gentlemen, I
present to you a man that is pe D free,
but you wouldn't know, and every time he cracks a mike.
We're talking about sports talk radio royalty, years upon years
upon years of excellence here at Fox Sports Radio and elsewhere.
I present to you, sir, rise a long cry. I

(27:37):
regret to inform you that you're listener analytics have been
atypical over the first half hour of the show. What's
what's the issue here? I'm talking about p d S.
This is clearly what everybody tuned in for. Well, oh yeah,
you got hip. All your Twitter mentions positive, none of

(27:59):
the typical strongly negative reactions, most words unrepeatable over the year.
Here's a typical listener response that you got today. Quote
Jonas Knox on Saturdays is the present day equivalent of
Saturday Morning cartoons. To me, hell yeah, fill up my

(28:21):
serial bowl. And then there's a gift of Wiley Coyote
and the road Runner. So it's all positive. Everybody agreeing
with you today? Actually no moments ago. Moments ago happ
negative tweet typical. Alright, this gentleman who, let's see, has

(28:42):
thirteen followers. Yeah, the supplement was tainted. It's been proven
that this happens all the time. Really, and other disgraceful
take by you, and once again, Jonas Knox is universe
makes sense. I mean, look, people, these people that don't
want to do research, they just want to hold on
into bad information that's given out to him. I'm telling you, man,

(29:03):
this stuff has happened for years in the UFC. Look
this up. There was a UFC fighter named Josh Barnett,
the war Master. Okay, okay, good. If you're gonna have
a name like Josh Barnett, which sounds like an accountant,
you need to have a strong nickname like the war Master.
So so he got um. I think he actually tested
positive for steroids. I think it was a couple of

(29:25):
different times, but I know him a couple of different times. No,
because one of the times he ended up losing like
two years of his career because he was fighting to
prove his innocence. And after like two years they finally
acknowledged he was telling the truth. Wow, But the problem
was he lost two years of pay. He lost two

(29:47):
years in later in his in his career, the two
quality years that he could have been competing. So by
the time he came back, he wasn't He wasn't the
same fighter because he was gone for two years. You're
not getting that back. That's prime years of competition. And
it's not only he gets back pay. It's like like
those are in in the UFC, in M M A
and a lot of cases. You have to fight, you

(30:08):
have to earn if you want to earn money, you
gotta fight. And he wasn't allowed to fight for two years.
He lost two years of his career. So what was
the what was the situation with him? I mean, what
was the project and its supplements? Yeah, and look at
this is a real thing that does not get talked
about a lot. And and guys lose a lot of
time in their career. Is Isaac, let's go live to

(30:29):
our I've never lost time in my career because all
I do is drink inside or iwa Sam for the
latest Sam. Very true. I got something like what is
with the guys blaming like a tainted pork. That seems
to be a thing, especially with boxers. They blamed team.
It's like the guy who gets bombed one night and
UH is looking for somebody to blame. Like I remember,

(30:51):
I got I threw up at a first time I
ever threw threw up drinking. We went to a Mexican restaurant,
I got a case at Dilla, and then we go
to my buddy's wedding and I'll never forget it. I
was drinking. I don't even want to name the beer
because it's a bad look for the beer. I just
put it this way. It was a darker beer because
they ran out of bud light, and next thing you know,

(31:12):
it was like the Exorcist on the side of my
buddy's yard. It was just a all. But I remember afterwards,
I was for a split second, I was I was
trying to blame it on the restaurant case of Dilla,
like that had made anyway. It had to be the
case Sadilla. No, no, no, dude, you drank too much.
You're an amateur and you made a fool of yourself.

(31:33):
So before before I get into this NFL item, here,
can I just ask one question. I hate to, you know,
put you on a spot, embarrass you further as sort
of someone who's not doesn't have expertise in this particular area.
When you vomit in your buddy's yard, what is the
protocol for the cleanup of said vomit? No you call

(31:56):
the dog out? Oh okay, Oh no, I was just
I was just asking, just asking what do you mean
unfamiliar with the protocol? What I mean? Listen, I mean
there's like, look, what do we anne eaters do clean
up ants? I mean you can go buy a canna
raid at the hardware store, or you can go rent
an ant eater from some farm for like fifteen bucks

(32:17):
an hour and get to get tell that thing to
get to work. Okay, if you don't want to smell
raid in the kitchen, Kenny, can I just ask one
more follow up? What if your buddy does not have
a dog or commensurate pet. M Well, you don't have
an ant eater, Isaac, you don't know where to find one?
Dada dadda you see, Irvine, I can find plenty of them. Ah,
there is I hope you here all day, folks. So there, well,

(32:42):
Jonas little annie eater humor on a Saturday. Nice work.
While Jonas Clinton thinks about the proper protocol, will pass
along the news that the Carolina Panthers announced the Shorts
have Ago Baker Mayfield going to start a quarterback in
today's preseason opener in Washington, kick off at one pm.
Eastern Jets started quarterback Zach Wilson injured his right knee
and Friday's we at Philadelphia he'll have an m r

(33:03):
I today. On Friday, Major League Baseball Is Jonas mentioned
suspending San Diego Padre star Fernando Tatis Junior for the
rest of the season after he tested positive for a
band performance enhancing substance. Tatis Jr. Said he inadvertently took
a medication to treat a ring worm that contained the
BAND substance. On the field on Friday night, the Los

(33:24):
Angeles Dodgers one of Kansas City eight to three. The
Dodgers on an eleven game winning streak. Tony Gonslin had
a no hitter, going for six and a third before
I was broken up as he improved his record to
fourteen and one. Billy's defeated the Mets in ten innings
two to one to break them at six game winning streak,
and despite Aaron Judges forty six home run, the Red
Sox defeated the Yankees three to two at Fenway. Now

(33:46):
back we go to senior Vomiting Protocol. Insider Jonas not, Hey,
I'm trying to be relatable. There's a lot of people
out there who aren't feeling good about themselves because of
what happened last night. Extremely relatable, especially at this day part.
You're right, Look, I mean that was I was years ago,
all right, this is what in a younger life, all right,
a long long time ago. I'm more responsible now now

(34:08):
I can't make it that lags all and fall asleep.
But there's listen, you know, and I do happen to
know a dear friend who's gonna be on his way
to uh to that sort of experience this weekend. Alright,
I do know that's gonna happen, you know. I just
hope that, uh, you know, he's not like some of
my other friends who have misbehaved while in Las Vegas
or at another casino and ruined an entire blackjack table

(34:30):
because they thought gold Schlager was a good idea. There
in the middle of playing blackjack, they're sitting with a
buddy of them. I believe this is in Tahoe, and
next thing you know, they lose a lunch and breakfast
all over a deck of cards. Yeah, I'm not sure
about the protocol here, but this guy is a terrorist.
Aren't they financially responsible to get the blackjack table replaced?

(34:53):
Because you can't just clean up vomit off the felt
of a blackjack table. But you imagine that you're sitting
at the table that store, You go, God, that guy
didn't look well. And next next thing you know, he's
It's like ecto cooler and malto meal all over a
blackjack table right next to you. It's like cash out,
we gotta we gotta take our chips elsewhere. With the

(35:15):
malto meal, that was malto meal not good, And I
don't know, I think it was just cheap. Do you
have malto meal when you're younger, Isaac? I did, but
but then I count of graduated in the cream of wheat. Yeah.
I think it's because you could buy a box of
it for like three bucks on the bottom shelf. Yeah,
and it would feed every and I don't think it
ever went bad. In fact, there's probably a boxing malta

(35:37):
meal and somebody's shell from like the nineteen twenties. Like
I believe, I believe why EARP was actually buried with
malto meal, and if you wouldn't dug that up, you
could probably still use the malta meal. My god, and
it comes in a bunch of crazy flavors like it's
great man, very colossal crunch, birthday cake, Dino bites here. Yeah,

(36:00):
it's very affordable, all right, Jonas Knocks here on fs ARE,
Get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks. Alright, it's
coming up next. We do have some major stories in
the world of sports we've got to get to. It's
another award winning edition of Do You Care A't yours?
Right here at fs ARE. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio
coming up top the next hour a little over ten
minutes from now. Kind of a an interesting development in

(36:24):
a quarterback battle in the NFL, and I would say
probably not a good look for one of the guys competing.
We will get into that for you here on fs ARE.
Right now, though, it is time for something we do
every single week, and it's 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.

(36:46):
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.
But Jonas the real question is do you care? And
for that we turn it over to a professional producer
and executive producer, and a fine one at that. He's
much better than Ryan bur Singer, who flaked on this
show yet another week in a row. It's Bow Benson.
What's happening? What's going? You know what? Let's just start here.

(37:09):
It's Ryan bur Singer's birthday to day. Do you care?
Because I don't in the slightest No, I don't care.
His birthday could be February. I don't care, doesn't matter
to me. Just come to work, man, We all do it.
His birthday. What do the way? What do you think
he's doing? In fact, I'll tell you what he's doing.
He's an institution brewery and Camario and uh and and

(37:30):
he's gonna go to golf and stuff afterwards and play
mini golf. That's something like that. Uh you know. Kevin Durant.
Kevin Durant reportedly views the seventies sixers in Celtics as
desired landing spots. Do you care about that at all? No?
I don't. Hey, NBA, you had your chance, dude, you
had you had a couple of months where you could

(37:50):
have still stolen some headlines. You could have created a
little bit of buzz for your league. You had a
plenty of an an opportunity to take full advantage of
the open and terrain that was the NFL offseason, and
you blew it because now games are happening and we've
got inundated. We are inundated with football for the next
six months, and now you're gonna take a step back.

(38:11):
You're gonna you're gonna play third fiddle to the NFL
and to college football. In in in fact, let me say
fourth fiddle NFL, college football and fantasy football. Back in
the line NBA next. Antonio Brown, everybody's favorite wide receiver,
retweeted a fake quote attributed to him, saying his only
regret was not being able to watch himself play live.
Do you care? Yeah, actually I do. I think it's hilarious.

(38:34):
It's even better than that. There was another quote that
was attributed to Justin Fields that he said something like
the biggest adjustment for me in the NFL is that
I'm playing with wide receivers who wouldn't make six string
at Ohio State. And people were tweeting it, going, how
dare he He's proven nothing in this league? To say
something like that, Hey, numb nuts. The name of the

(38:56):
website is ball Sack Sports. It's a parody site. It's
the Onion. It was a fake quote. These like people
believe anything. They will like if you told them, hey, man,
whatever you do, don't use the restroom. Uh, Santa Claus
just took a crap fifteen minutes ago. They totally buy it.
They would they would sit outside for fifteen to twenty

(39:18):
minutes and wait till it airs out because Santa Claus
is just in there. Next, the Cubs beat the Reds
in this year's Field of dream Game Field of Dreams Game. Sorry,
docare uh kind of I kind of love the presentation.
I love seeing the corn I love the Midwest, obviously,
family in the Midwest. Uh, we know the great Iowa Sam.

(39:40):
He was at the Field of Dreams last week. The
Harry carry thing a little bit odd. That was horrible,
a little strange, terrifying. And by the way, if you're
gonna make it realistic, at least have a flask hanging
out of his back pocket. If you're gonna do something
realistic with Harry, anything to any sort of booth. Next,
the Little League World Series in full swing. Do you

(40:01):
care about this at all? No, I don't. I'm not
trying to be rude and I'm not trying to be
insulting here because I know a lot of people love
this stuff and maybe when my kid gets older, like
this is gonna be really really important. I just I
can't get into it. And and maybe this is trauma
because I worked at Chuck E Cheese and I dressed

(40:23):
up as a giant stuffed animal that you would pull
out of a claw machine. But maybe it's all the
abuse I took from kids. I just can't get into
the Little League World Series. I can't do it. It
does now can you gamble on it? I mean, if
you can gamble on it, then we're having a whole
another conversation. Can you gamble? You You have to be

(40:45):
able to all find out, but you have to be
able to listen. And for those of you that want
to judge me, I have been on everything from Indian
Premier League cricket to tennis to WrestleMania. Judge all you want.
If Mundy's involved, We're gonna make some you know out
have a bad look for a quarterback in the NFL.
We will get into that here coming up in just
a couple of moments from now, Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio.

(41:07):
You can hang out with us as always on the
I Heart Radio app. You can find us on hundreds
of Fox Sports Radio affiliates wherever the hell you are
making us a part of your Saturday morning. We appreciate
you doing so. We are going to take you all
the way out until New and Eastern time nine am
Pacific through the end of the hour here on fs
ARE and as Isaac mentioned in his update a short

(41:29):
time ago, good news out of New York with the Jets.
Zach Wilson went down with the non contact injury on
a scramble play last night in the preseason opener, and
as it turns out, it is not an A c
L tear. There was some optimism last night afterwards when
they checked the A c L. Everything seemed to be intact. Uh.
So he didn't suffer any ligament damage. But he does

(41:50):
have a bone bruise uh and uh and so that
is the the optimism there. So he's not gonna lose
the season. He's gonna miss some time. And for anybody
that's ever suffered a knee injury, I did. I had
dislocated my kneecap. I tore a bunch of stuff inside
of it. But the one thing they told me is
that the bone bruise always takes the longest to heal,
so it's painful as hell. Uh, and it's gonna be really,

(42:12):
really sensitive in that area for a long time. Mine
took gosh. I want to say, anywhere from nine months
to a year was the timeline that I was given.
So it's probably gonna be something he's gonna have to
deal with um for at least a good portion of
the season, depending on the severity of it. But uh,
there it is. Uh, the the good news on the
knee injury for Zach Wilson and the New York Jets.

(42:36):
And now it makes you wonder all these speculation that
could we see a Jimmy Garoppolo trade to New York.
Robert Sala obviously there there's some some offensive assistants who
were there also in San Francisco with Jimmy Garoppolo, if
that would be a move they would make. Although there's
been some talk that Joe Flaccos looked great in camp,
so maybe Joe Flacco and I think Robert Sala even
pointed it out. Uh, it could be a quality back

(42:59):
up there for were the New York Jets and somebody
they could rely on to one of a couple of games.
So who knows, it's not it's not the end of
the world. It's some optimism, some good news for the
Jets and for the Jets fans that we're looking to
see year two of Zach Wilson. He is going to
miss some time, but at least it's not gonna be
an entire season because it is a bone bruise and
not an a c L tear, which was initially feared. Um.

(43:22):
All right, so let's get into this. Speaking of quarterbacks,
I was having this conversation earlier in the week with
Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington, and one of the things
that Brady Quinn has always told me is that people
underestimate how difficult it is to learn a new offense
in the NFL, because it's like learning a new language.

(43:47):
If anybody's tried to learn a new language, especially as
you get older, good luck patfone with that. My wife's Mexican, like,
she's got family members that don't speak a lick of English.
I still only know the bad words in Spanish and
now a lot of this because I watched Narcos and

(44:10):
I see the subtitles and I can kind of piece
them all together. So I can't ask you something like, hey,
do you want me to do the laundry or are
you gonna get to that later on. I couldn't ask
her that. I couldn't ask her brother that. I could
ask her grandmother that in Spanish, not a not a
shot in hell. But I could tell them where to

(44:33):
hide narcotics based on being a fan of Narcos, and
I could use at least two or three curse words
in that sentence based on my watching of Narcos and
the subtitles on it. All Right, So I can't learn
a new language. It's over for me. It's not happening.
So when you hear a guy like Brady Quinn who
played in a bunch of offenses for a bunch of teams,
not only in college when there is a coaching change,

(44:55):
but also in the NFL, etcetera, etcetera, And when you
hear somebody like that say it it's like learning a
new language. Like there are so many different intricacies and
things like that that come along with learning new offense
and how difficult it is. It makes me respect guys
that can do it and makes me respect guys that
have to do it that go through all these different

(45:16):
offensive changes. One of the reasons why it was a
big Alex Smith fan because people look at Alex Smith
and they go he was a Pro Bowl quarterback. He
played really well in San Francisco towards the end, and
then he went to Kansas City. All of that is true.
You forget about all the years that Alex Smith was

(45:36):
dealt a bag of crap by the forty Niners, with
the coaching changes, with the dysfunction, with the firings, with
all the things that went on the front office, all
of it. And once he got a little bit of
stability and was able to operate in a system and
in a language, so to speak, for a length period

(46:00):
of time, you saw what the results were. So I
always I grew with a greater appreciation when you hear
somebody like a quarterback talk about the languages in the NFL,
like learning a new offense. So that being said, a
couple of ways to look at the news out of Carolina,
because if you missed it, Baker Mayfield is going to

(46:20):
get the start for the Carolina Panthers. That is happening, alright.
So the Carolina Panthers have announced that he is going
to get the start for the preseason opener, all right,
So I got to be clear on that they have
not made a decision on the starting quarterback for the season,
but for the preseason opener, Baker Mayfield is going to
be the starter coming up later on in that game

(46:40):
actually kicks off in a couple hours between the Panthers
and the Washington Commanders. So Baker Mayfield is going to
be your starter there for that preseason opener for the
Carolina Panthers. Alright. A couple of ways to look at it.
A give credit to Baker Mayfield for getting to a
place with a brand new offers, learning that offense, or

(47:02):
at least learning it enough to where they trust him
to make a start later on today against Washington on
the road, albeit in a preseason game. So he shows
up there, he focuses, he learns the offense well enough,
He's put in the time. It's it's a process. It's
it's a tough process. It's a transition. All the stuff

(47:24):
he went through in Cleveland. Credit to Baker Mayfield for
doing the work getting there, taking it serious enough and
trying to right the wrongs and the narratives on his
career with the Carolina Panthers. And that's why he's getting
the start there in Carolina. So there's that side of it.
And then be Sam Donald had a year head start

(47:46):
and still couldn't beat him out for the job. But
I mean that's it. If Baker Mayfield is getting the
start in this preseason opener, he's their starting quarterback, and
you could look at it and say, well, I mean
they traded away and are paying him this amount, so

(48:06):
of course he would be the starting quarterback. No no,
no, no no, no, no, don't try and diminish what is
happening here. Sam Donald had a year head start with
the Carolina Panthers, Like, this isn't an injury thing. This
was a straight up quarterback battle. Advantage Sam Donald because

(48:26):
of his experience. They were in the same draft class,
and the way you would hear people talk about Sam
Donald and Baker Mayfield was very different because when it
came to Baker Mayfield, well, he turns the ball over
and uh, you know it's uh, it's just dysfunctional and
no bell Odell Beckham Jr. Doesn't want to play with him,
and his teammates don't like him, and he gets blah

(48:47):
blah blah blah blah, and he's a distraction and he's
too emotional and he's immature and blah blah blah blah blah.
What about Sam Donald, Well, you know it's the Jets.
I mean, come on, nobody can succeed with the Chets.
Come on, you know it's not his fault. I mean
you know, I mean he got motto. What do you
want to You went out in Manhattan and uh ended

(49:08):
up sucking face with the wrong person, ended up getting
motto and next thing, you know, I mean, what do
you want me to Dad? It's you know what happens young,
he's rookie mistake. It's all good. I just call it
what it is. Sam Donald's nicer than Baker Mayfield is
to the media, and that's why you had that discussion.
But as far as the quarterback goes, it's not close.

(49:29):
It isn't close. And so when you see Baker Mayfield
show up at a place where Sam Donald has had
a head start in that place, and Baker Mayfield got
here like an hour and a half ago and is
already being named the starting quarterback for the preseason opener.
You can try and push back and say, well, it's

(49:49):
just the preseason, and who knows, maybe Baker Mayfield stinks
up the joint later on. But the fact that he
was named the starter in the preseason opener for Carolina
is an indo cater. That's gonna be your starting quarterback
week one. And let me tell you something. If that's
the case, good for all of us, because if you've forgotten,
Week one, Carolina hosts Cleveland. So if you think Baker

(50:13):
Mayfield had a red ass in college when some guy
didn't shake his hand and so he grabbed his crotch
and then gave the guy a middle finger on the
sideline and gets Kansas. If you think he had a
red ass about that, you ain't seen nothing yet. When
it comes to week one and they're playing the Cleveland
Browns and he gets a little bit of revenge there
against the Brownies. Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. Also, uh,
I want to shine some light on some positive feedback here, uh,

(50:35):
positive feedback here on the show. Big time performance thus
far by everybody, and listen, this is a team effort, obviously,
but I will wear it for some of these positive
and complimentary things that were said, like Paul who writes
in we need an o G like beast mode to
punk this cracker ass bleep Jonas knocks like the useless

(50:59):
l V P E D bleep wad bleep wad you are.
I almost got dump there because I can't even do.
You can go check that out at the Jonah socks
on Twitter. Also, David writes in, hey, f boy, do
us all a favor and go overdose on some P
E D s from some dealer in East l A.

(51:19):
Maybe you'll finally have one decent segment for once if
you don't turn into chicken feed. I'm gonna be honest
with you. We've got our first overdosed insult on the show.
So that's the first never been told to overdose on anything.
So that's a you know what round of applause? All right,

(51:42):
It's like, what do they say about baseball as long
as it's been around. You see something never seen before.
We've never seen or heard somebody tell me to go
overdose on a drug based on a segment that I
did earlier. So there's that. So again a more positive
feedback here, and this is what do you tune in
for the positive stuff here on a Saturday morning here

(52:03):
on fs ARE So if you want to follow along
and see the unedited versions of both of those, you
can add the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. All right, it's
coming up next. Uh, there is a situation in the NFL.
There's an NFL fan base. They're not happy with me,
not happy at all. They are very upset. They are
very bothered by something that I did and something that
I said on Fox Sports Radio. And I will tell

(52:25):
you why I refuse to apologize. That's next year on FSR.
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio coming up little over ten
minutes from now. If something happens in the NFL, it's
kind of a what if, but it's a possibility, a
real possibility, if this happens. If it goes down this way,

(52:46):
we are looking at one of the most historic off
seasons for one franchise in NFL history. And I will
explain what that is coming up here again a little
over ten minutes from now. By the way, I do
want to uh uh mentioned this. Kirk Cousins obviously sent
home from practice earlier this week. He is to test

(53:07):
tested positive for COVID. So um so yeah, and that
will conclude our coverage of COVID here on this show.
But I do want to is Mike Zimmer give it
like us happy about this? Is Mike Zimmer happy that
Kirk Cousins? Uh? You know, because we we know that
Mike Zimmer couldn't stand Kirk Cousins the unvaccinated stuff. So
I'm just wondering if how Mike Zimmer feels about all

(53:28):
that stuff. I don't care, Kirk. I'm just asking the
question here. I just want you want to be uh,
I want to know what's going on here, all right. Um, So,
there's a fan base that is not thrilled with something
that I had to say, and I don't feel bad
about it at all in any level because I think

(53:49):
I'm a percent right. So, the Chicago Bears, who will
be kicking off their preseason coming up a little over
an hour and a half from now against the Kansas
City Chiefs the Matt Naggy revenge game. He's now back
with the Chiefs on their coaching staff, so they're probably
gonna try and run up the score on the Bears there.
The Chicago Bears let's just call what it is. They're

(54:10):
one of the worst football teams in the league projection
wise going into the season. That's a fact. And the
Chicago Bears have a little bit of an issue. Ro
Kwan Smith is maybe their best player on the team,
and ro Kuan Smith wants a new contract, and he's
set to make a little under ten million dollars this year,

(54:31):
final year of his deal, and he wants a new
deal done, and they haven't been able to get a
deal done, and so he's been doing this hold in thing,
which is the new trend in the NFL where guys
want a new deal but they don't want to sit
out and be away from the team. So they're still there,
but they're not really practicing. It's weird, but it's it's
a new strategy in the NFL. And so Roquan Smith

(54:53):
is doing this hold in and they're in the middle
of these negotiations. Then all of a sudden, we would
deaf coom five off uh this past week a couple
of days ago, because ro Kuan Smith takes to Twitter
and goes to the NFL network and starts saying how
he wants to trade I've been disrespected and I don't
feel like there's much trust here, and blah blah blah,

(55:15):
and and and goes in on the Chicago Bears and
it's like, dude, we're having a discussion, we're trying to
get a deal done, and all of a sudden, you know,
you go def con five on us, and we're looking around, going, well,
we felt like we were on the same page here.
I mean, Ryan Poles called the GM there in Chicago

(55:36):
called called a press conference. It was like, we thought
we were trying to get something done. Then you got
Matt Eberflus, the coach, kind of dismissing the whole thing
a couple of days ago, saying, well, listen, ro Kuan
wasn't at practice. Well, you know, you go ask him
why he wasn't at practice. We took him off the
pub list, he basically should have been here, kind of
airing his guy out, which probably not gonna play well

(55:57):
in the locker room. And ro Quan's miss probably not
gonna be happy about brand new head coach. And instead
of him just saying that's something between ro Quan and
the front office and we hope to have him back
here soon, he basically airs him out. And said, I
don't know he's healthy. You go ask ro Quan why
he's not here. Probably not the best look in the world.
And my old stance on I have no idea whether
or not they're going to get a deal done, and

(56:18):
ro Kuan Smith may get traded. And he's a really
good player. He's a two time second team All Pro guy.
He's been really good for the Bears. But my old
thing is just from an organizational standpoint, I think people
are underestimating how bad things are in Chicago and Bear

(56:39):
fans are getting pissed because I pointed out they're doomed.
And the guy I feel worse for, and there's a
lot of there's a lot of players on the team,
good players on that team, but a lot of guys
I feel. Of all the guys that feel bad for,
it's justin fields. Because this is how this is going
to go. They're gonna have a tough year, they're gonna

(57:01):
have a losing year. They're projected to be one of
the worst teams in the league. They're a bottom four
or five team who's gonna be probably picking high atop
the draft. And if you don't think the Bears after
a second year of losing with Justin Fields as your quarterback?
Wouldn't consider taking one of these quarterbacks if they were

(57:22):
to be available at the top of the draft next year,
like a C. J. Stroud or Bryce Young or whoever.
If you don't think the Bears would absolutely consider taking
one of those guys at quarterback, you're crazy. They would
absolutely consider taking one of those guys without question. Oh no,

(57:45):
it's Justin Fields. I mean they just they traded through.
That was a previous regime. Ryan Poles didn't trade up
for Justin Fields. Matt Eberflus wasn't the coach. This brand
new quarterback for them. So there's no guarantee, ease, that
Justin Fields is the guy. But like, there's no guarantees

(58:06):
that you look at Justin Fields and they gonna be Okay,
well look, I mean he's here and we're just gonna
we're gonna roll with this. There's no guarantees there. This
is a completely new regime. And so my whole point
was Justin Fields is in a terrible spot. They have
put him in a terrible spot as far as annual

(58:26):
salaries go, and and the amount of money that's been
invested into the offense. The Bears are bottom of the league.
Warren Sharp had this thing he put out, like amount
of money spent on offensive weapons, and his point was
the same as my point. They've given him nothing. Like
normally in the NFL nowadays, you draft a quarterback, if

(58:47):
you think highly enough of him, you build around him.
This isn't like the old days where you draft a quarterback,
put him in a different system and say, hey, dude,
we drafted you high, we're paying you a lot of money,
go figure it out. Now teams are like, okay, well
we're gonna invest this type of money in a quarterback,
we probably want to make sure that we got enough
around him so that we can get everything that we've
invested in, Like we can get all of our return back,

(59:09):
or at least enough of it back to justify the
moves that we've made. And the Bears didn't do that.
And so you're like, you're watching this situation play out
and you're seeing all of this happen. You're seeing the
Roquan Smith stuff, You're seeing them trade away Khalil mack Alan,
Robinson's got all of these guys that are gone, and

(59:31):
it's like, what's the plan, Like is there a direction here,
because the direction as it stands right now is the
Bears are in a rebuild and you've got a quarterback
who's going to be thrown out there as basically a
sacrificial lamb possibly if they have a tough year. I mean,

(59:53):
your head coach has already aired out one of his
best players when he could have given a completely different
answer that didn't go. Well. You've got the GM who
signed a bunch of players this offseason, like two or
three of their wide receivers that they signed that they
signed I got arrested this offseason. Like I mean, we're

(01:00:14):
not talking about you know, Robin Banks or you know,
running guns from country to country like that, but we're
I mean, we're talking about a guy doing donuts in
the street with a small child in the back of
his car and then guns on him like like it's
not a good look. We're talking about a guy that

(01:00:36):
passed out at a Taco Bell drive through and when
they find him he's sleeping, they find, uh, you know,
some some substance in there that maybe he shouldn't have
had some some marijuana or whatever the hell else it was,
Oh and three handguns. Okay, that's good. Well, at least
the Bears just signed him like it's it's been a

(01:00:59):
bad offseason, and so my whole point was due justin
Fields is screwed. The book's going to be written on him,
and it's not gonna be written nicely, and that the
conversation is going to be bust or bad pick or
bad quarterback, and it's all about situation and circumstance. He
was drafted into a difficult situation with a coach who

(01:01:21):
was on his final year and a GM who was
on his final year. It was a desperation pick. Now
those guys are gone. Now they come back in year two,
they've taken all of his best weapons virtually away from him.
Allen Robinson is gone. He's gone. They still have Mooney,
he's a good receiver, but you've got wide receiver issues.

(01:01:42):
They traded for Nikil Harry. He got injured this past week.
There's been another injury there. Your offensive line is all
over the place. Tevin Jenkins, who was a draft pick
that they took last year, he's dealt with some injury stuff.
And then there's some sort of a personality clash with
one of the coaches reportedly and maybe he doesn't want
to be there. He doesn't want to be there, and

(01:02:03):
he might be traded. It is a mess, man Khalul
mcgon like all of the like. It is a total mess.
And Justin Fields is the guy who's gonna get the
blame because the quarterback always gets the blame or the credit,
and in this case, he's going to get the blame.
And I'm just telling you, and Bear fans can get

(01:02:23):
pissed about it all they want and I don't care.
I'm not apologizing for it. I'm telling you there's going
to be a narrative or a book written on Justin
Fields after this season. And if there's a bad year
there and the Bears are picking high enough in the draft,
there's absolutely going to be some consideration and to take
in a quarterback high at top next year's draft, and

(01:02:45):
you're gonna look back and go, man, that Justin Fields
what a bust. He was another Ohio State quarterback struggling
in the NFL. And that is a surface take that
is unfair to Justin Fields because he was not putting
a good position when he got drafted to the Chicago
Bears in the NFL. Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio, Get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas

(01:03:05):
Knocks on Twitter and you can hang out with us.
Is always on the I Heart Radio app. All right,
it's coming up next. Um, if this goes down, all right,
this is what if. But if it goes down, we
are talking about a historic off season in the NFL.
We'll get to that for you right here on fs ARE.
But for all the latest from around the world of
sports ladies and gentlemen, Isaac long Cross, Jonas, We've got
more details just coming down on the status of New

(01:03:26):
York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. The New York Post has
just reported that Wilson willmas two to four weeks with
a bone bruise and a meniscus tear. He will need
to have a procedure done on his meniscus, but it
will need a trim and not a full repair. Again,
according to The New York Post, the caroline, Isaac and
I and I hate the interrupt Um, I mean he

(01:03:46):
hates interrupts your show. It's not my show, it's our show.
I hate that. Well, then called the Jonas and Isaac
and I always Sam and everybody else show. But for
now it's the Jonas Knox Show. Feeling out about interrupting. Hey,
but you know what, when I tweet out a link
to the podcast, does any other host include you in
the tweet? Any other? Yeah? Because I'm not selfish? All right,

(01:04:10):
But here's here's the problem. Your name is so long
that it eats up like the tweet. Can you shorten
your your Twitter name? Fourteen letters long? That's not long?
About Isaac Cron Isaac Lowen? Yeah, yeah, people have tried thatfces.
How slow? How about that low and slow? Huh? What

(01:04:32):
about that? That's a nice cooking mentality, very very I
go back, I go back to, I go back to
low and Brow tonight let it be Loan brow or
today as it were, Hey, excuse me? Who's on the
updates today? Sam? Come on? Only fourteen letters? Come on?

(01:04:53):
I mean, routinely, routinely at this microphone, I tackle twenty
two letter names out of tennis athletes from from other countries,
athletes who have multiple last names. I mean, you've never
complained about Cantavias Caldwell, Pope. That's a lot longer than Isaac,
Loan Crown. Well, that's that's the NBA and I'll talk

(01:05:13):
about the NBA. But here's the here's the other thing.
I have noticed this, now that we're on the subject.
Fox Sports Radio has three anchors with three of the
longest names in the history of radio Cron, Steve de Sager,
Monty Blagos. Those aren't long names, okay, But you guys

(01:05:35):
are like like hogging all of the space on tweets
because of those names. Not that Steve de Sager is
on Twitter, because I mean, he's basically a mystery. Nobody
knows that. It looks like I love it about him.
Here here's the thing I want to I don't know
where he is. Here's the thing though, on behalf of
Steve and Moncy. How dare you how dare you complain

(01:05:57):
about our names when you've got the likes of Ben
Jarvis green ellis out there? Do you remember about thank you? Yes?
How about Jared salta Lamachia? How about the honest anteda Kunpo?
How about a Dominican Sue even that's longer than the Kron. Yeah.

(01:06:18):
By the way, one of the other things, a little,
a little behind the scenes here, how do you spell
Dwyane Wade's name? Can you spell his first name? Yes,
even though it's completely unnecessary because we work in electronic
media where it's all about pronunciation, and I could care
less about the spelling of a name. But but how
do you see w y y A N E. So

(01:06:43):
the reason I always know because a lot of people
spell it wrong. They'll they'll do A y N it's
spell yeah. So the reason I will never forget how
to spell Dwyane Wade's name is because when I was
editing at Fox Sports Radio and you would have to
put in NBA uts, you always had to make sure
that you had the name correct, and so like that, um,

(01:07:05):
the pronunciation of Daminican sue, Like, there's just names that
you like, I can't I probably couldn't spell spaghetti, but
I could spell Dwyane Wade, you know, Like there's just
there's there's things you know out there that you just
learned and you pick up during broadcasting. But the point being,
your name is too long. That's the problem. You know.

(01:07:25):
I'm telling you we've got to find a shorter consolidated
Twitter account. Well it's not even close to being as
long as Matthew de Lavadova, but you've never expressed any
problems with him. The Matthew Delavadova, by the way, is
he's still in the NBA. I don't know. Probably not
that Isaac Lowan Crown I think is shorter than Ben Roethlisberger.

(01:07:49):
I mean, we'll have to do we'll have to do
a letter check on that. Yeah, look into that. Okay. Well,
as I was saying, so, we got into Zach Wilson
the Carolina Panthers and announcing that Baker Mayfield will get
the start at quarterback in today's preseason opener at Washington
kickoff an hour and twenty five minutes from now. Also
kicking off then the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Chicago Bears.

(01:08:09):
On Friday, Major League Baseball suspended San Diego Padre star
Fernando Tatis Jr. For the rest of the season after
he tested positive for a band performance enhancing substance. Tatis Jr.
Said he inadvertently took a medication to treat ring worm
that contained the band substance. On that note, let's go

(01:08:29):
back to our experts and insider in the merits of
accidentally ingesting banned substances. Jonas knocks, Hey, that's what at
least we could do here on this show. And by
the way, you idiots who are listening and sending me
tweets said I'll do do your research. Dude. Can I

(01:08:49):
make a comment on that after you talk about this. Yes,
clearly what I said, I wasn't defending Fernando Tatis. His
excuse was ring worm, whatever, dude, you have. First of all,
I would never admit that I have ringworm. It's disgusting,
all right. So my whole point was there's a misnomer
on P E. D S and there has been for years,

(01:09:09):
because there are legitimate examples of when guys say I
didn't knowingly take anything. They've done research, they've done investigations,
and it's been proven they didn't knowingly take it because
there was attained substance that they used in a product
they've always used and never tested positive for. So it
doesn't mean that everybody's just on the gas like Lance Armstrong.

(01:09:31):
There are different situations. Yes, I look at it from
the validity of the sources sided. So the tweet that
you're referring to ripped you for quote not doing your
research before going off on a fifteen minute rant. But
there evidence was another tweet which, as you know, what

(01:09:54):
was the website. You sided ball sack sports just because
it's a tweet, and just because it's from someone who
as they're a dermatologist, they very well could be a dermatologist,
but you can't prove that the person is a dermatologist.
And just because evidence is out there in a tweet
does not mean it is necessarily true. Doesn't mean it's

(01:10:14):
not true, but it doesn't mean it necessarily is true.
Allah as you indicated ball sack sports, Yeah, which is
a great, great name for a website. By the way,
there used to be a thing called ball sack. I
think it was ball zack, not ball not ball sack sports,
but like B A L Z A C. You look
it up, it's a toy and it was like a

(01:10:34):
ball that inflated inside a protected covering. I think, why
am I almost positive this existed when I was a kid? Okay,
spell it again, B A L maybe two ls. Okay,
well that's C A Z A C. There was like
it was like a toy. I'm telling you, look it up,
give me an update. We'll give you an update when

(01:10:55):
we come back. We got it, all right, So I
want to because I want to pay off this tease,
all right, so Jonah snocks here Fox Sport Trading, So
we have an update on that, plus another edition of
The Scraps coming up shortly. I do want to point
this out as there's been some speculation Mary Kay Cabot,
who has done a really good job covering the Browns
for a long time with the Cleveland Playing Dealer, she
pointed out that if the suspension for Deshaun Watson increases significantly,

(01:11:19):
that they actually would consider trading for Jimmy Garoppolo. Right,
So basically, they're going to consider trading for Jimmy Garoppolo
because he is going to see an increase in his suspension,
a significant increase that's happening. You can book that whether
or not they trade for Garoppolo, who actually who knows.
They might just wait this thing out because San Francisco
is probably gonna have to cut him because they don't

(01:11:39):
want the million dollars whatever it is to hit uh
this their roster because he is do that money if
he's on the roster week one of the season. If
the Browns do end up trading for Jimmy Garoppolo, big
what if? But if it happens, that means that the
Cleveland Browns would potentially beyond their fourth starting quarterback of

(01:12:04):
the off season, and none of them because of injury. Right,
think about this. You had Baker Mayfield, you traded away
Baker Mayfield, and you had to pay in order for
somebody to take Baker Mayfield, right, so you already lost
that trade. Then you signed to Shaun Watson. After you

(01:12:28):
trade for him, you give up a bunch of first
round picks, like three first round picks, all the other
draft capital, and then you give him two hundred thirty
million dollars guaranteed, which is in the ballpark rumored to
be anywhere from eighty to nine million dollars more than
the next best offer he was going to get. So

(01:12:49):
you completely overpaid in comparison to what he was being
offered elsewhere, fully guaranteed, only to have to start Jacoby
Brissett because Deshaun Watson is not available for the start
of the season. And then you may have to give
up more to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, who may also

(01:13:10):
start for you this season. We are looking at the
worst stretch of quarterback transactions in the history of the NFL. Okay,
like this is history. You could you're gonna be able
to tell people years from now where you were in

(01:13:34):
when they acknowledged that UFOs existed. And that the Cleveland
Browns went through four starting quarterbacks in one off season
and none of them because of injury. What an awful
stretch at the quarterback position for the Cleveland Browns. Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter at the

(01:13:57):
Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. Right, it's
coming up next. We gotta ag or update on a
toy from your childhood. Plus we got the scraps things
in the world of sports we have not had a
chance to get to. It's yours right here on fs
are This isn't that double bass? Ah? Good good stuff? Man?

(01:14:18):
Oh yes, yes, who is this again? Is this Helloween?
What band is this? Sam? I don't even know the
name of the bed Jesus good God. Just listen to it.
There's somebody that like, really gets jacked up to a

(01:14:40):
song like this. Very strange. Alright, Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio.
You can hang out with us as always on the
I Heart Radio app. By the way, for those of
you listen on the podcast to dismiss whatever we were
talking about. It even sevenfold, okay, evenge sevenfold? All right? Cool?
All right, so um coming up top of next hour

(01:15:00):
a little over ten minutes from now. It is up
on game LaVar Arrington, t J wish Manzata, Plexico, Burus.
Make sure you stick around. We got wall to wall
football conversation. Uh and maybe uh Iowa Sam and Bow
will get their pictures taken with those guys like Ryan
Burr Singer and Iowa Sam did last week. You know
it unbelievable undtable. All right, Uh so it is time too.

(01:15:24):
We are going to get to the scraps here coming
up in just a moment from now. But Isaac Lowenkron
has a major update. I mentioned a toy from your youth.
Was I proven correct? Yet again? You were proven one correct.
It is indeed balls Acts spell b A l Z
A C. It is dubbed as a quote magic action
balloon ball unquote. Uh so I'm gonna play you in actual,

(01:15:48):
honest to goodness ball Zach commercial. It's hard to believe
that this is for real, but it's the greatest thing ever.
And this is from the nineties, so there's a ton
of green and fluorescent pink in this commercial. But here
it is. I can't believe this is real. This is
too good to be true. A commercial for ball Zach.

(01:16:12):
Blow it up now away, turn up water that cool,
turn up balls so wearist, turn off the ball, turn

(01:16:33):
off the ball. That's great. Come on, I think around
of applause that that is quality. That is so good.
Not only Ballzac his little buddy, the ball Zach Brat.
That's fantastic. See I knew what I was talking about.
I'm not that much of an idiot. A lot of
people think I don't know what I'm talking about. It's

(01:16:53):
just sports. I don't know anything about, apparently, according to
the people on Twitter. So there's that, all right. So
it is time for something we do on the show
every single week, and it's called this How could you
not get to these stories? These are the scraps and
for then we turn it over to Bow Benson to

(01:17:14):
find out what the hell we've missed so far on
the show. Bo Alright, so this first one we didn't miss,
but it's simply too funny to not mention it again.
Uh Padres star short stop Fernando Tatis Jr. Pop for
eight games for using a band substance. Um I did
see floating around on Twitter. Not sure how accurate this is,
but someone was saying there is a medicine that treats

(01:17:36):
ring worm that's called Clobatis. All Tatis got busted for
costable an anabolic steroids. So someone was probably quickly googling
something they could use for an excuse and UH got
the wrong uh medicine out there. But I mean, it
could be colosomy bag. I don't I don't care. I
could cholesterol. I mean, whatever it is. I mean, the
the the feeling is that that wouldn't be something you

(01:17:59):
would shoot choose to treat ring worm, that you would
want to go in another direction to treat it. That
as you pointed out, and that there's also been the
feeling that this could have been because he was trying
to heal up, that he's coming back from the broken
hand or wrist or whatever the case is, because he
crashed his motorcycle. Bottom line is, the more interesting thing
was was his teammates UH didn't really have his back. Yeah,

(01:18:21):
they seems like they're all I I also not to
uh not to uh put anybody on blast, but I
may have received a text from Brandon Trufa, one of
our producers here bragging about how the Padres were going
to add Fernando Tatis Junior to their lineup after they
got Juan Soto. Uh, they're not going to be doing
that this year. Ye, No, that's not gonna And at
this point, the way they talk about him, who the

(01:18:43):
hell knows that he's going to be there long? So
that seems like they're in a good spot Bears. Bears
kicker Cairo Santos was talking about how he would train
on a lousy practice field near his Florida home in
order to prepare for the field conditions at Soldier Field. Um,
so that that's inspiring confidence for the Bears kicking situation.

(01:19:04):
This here right, the places are dump Like what do
you think they want to leave? Like you talk to
anybody that's played at Soldier Field, they go, it's terrible,
like like it's just an awful surface and there's there's
all sorts of events. They're like at Hind's feet and
not Hinds feel whatever it's called, you know, Acupuncture Stadium,
whatever the hell it's called. Uh, at at at the

(01:19:24):
place the Steelers play at, whatever it is. Uh, There's
been the same conversation at certain times during the year
because pit plays there. They have high school football games,
I mean Soldier Fields right on the lake, and it
just gets destroyed. And these kickers are supposed to make
these kicks and and they've all complained about it, and
they're real complaints to have, so I don't know have
to tell. I mean, look, they can get upset all

(01:19:46):
they want. And by the way, if you are interested
in seeing what a disaster Soldier Field is and why
they are wanting to move away from there, and why
they have bought land in Arlington Heights there in Chicago
to to sort of build around where the old racetrack was,
you can check him out. And you can also see
Matt Naggie's revenge game against the Bears coming up. Football's here.
Everybody shown us the son of a Bitch
