Speaker 1 (00:03):
What a title. Are you ready? Darkness, the Prince 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 the right
cross from a boxer that you've never heard of. What's

(00:25):
going on here and now live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, here's Jonas Knocks. You're really going through with this, Hunches.

(00:46):
So we've got ourselves a good old fashioned battle in
the National Football League. It is played out for months
and months and it came to a conclusion. But there
is so much more to get into. We will get
it all that for you coming up here, just to
come at a moment and now Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio.
You can hang out with us as always on the
I Heart Radio app. You can find us on hundreds

(01:07):
of affiliates all across the country and wherever you are
making us a part of your Saturday morning. We appreciate
you doing so. We're gonna take you all the way
up until noon Eastern time nine am Pacific football wall
to wall coverage. We got preseason games, we got boxing,
we got a UFC event. It is a fun weekend
in the world of sports and beyond. But let's talk

(01:28):
about one of the classic battles that has played out
in the NFL over the past several months now. You
may not have been aware of this battle. You may
not have been aware of privy to this information. So
I'm gonna go ahead and relate it to something that
I have personally seen, personally witnessed up close and personal,

(01:49):
years and years ago. If you've ever worked at a
sales job, you know you come across some pretty shady
characters from time to time. Not that there's gamming anybody,
not that they're doing anything under the table or illegal
or anything like that, but more so just their tactics,

(02:09):
the way that they think people don't catch onto the
fact that they're just completely full of crap. Sometimes it happens,
perfect example, I remember walking into a sales job. I
didn't tell the marketing and all sorts of different odd jobs.
I walk into the sales job and it's your big
giant sales floor. There's a bunch of cubicles around, and

(02:31):
everybody's on the phone making calls, trying to close a deal.
And there was this move that they would make where
you would tell somebody on the phone, I'm not sure
I can get you that price. Can you hold on
one second, let me ask my manager. But if I
ask my manager and I can get it to you
at that rate, are we okay to go through with

(02:53):
the deal? And the person on the other end of
the phone, your your prospective customer, would be oh, yeah,
of course if you can get it to me at
that rate, I of course wouldn't want to do it.
So they say, okay, no promises, let me go talk
to my manager. They put the phone on mute, spin
around in their chair, clear their throat, take a sip

(03:17):
of their coffee, take the phone off mute, and say, okay,
I just ran over and talk to him. I think
we're gonna be able to get you that deal sold.
And I remember sitting there watching, going wait what And
then the next person wanted to out do him, so
they said, oh, you know, same spiel. Hey, hold on

(03:39):
a second, let me go let me talk with my manager.
If I can get a tea at that rate, do
you mind let me go talk with my manager? Put
him on mute, Except this time they got up, walked
to the kitchen, got a cup of coffee, came back,
sat down. All right. I was able to catch up
with him. He said he can do it. Worry at

(04:00):
that rate, I apologized for the delay, ready to go
through with the deal sold. I'm sitting there looking around
with these people, going is this like a battle of
who's more full of crap? It's like, I swear to
God on this, I'm thinking to myself, what is happening here?
We're like dueling BS artists? Is that what we're looking at?

(04:21):
So I say all that to say this, that's exactly
what is played out in the Deshaun Watson situation. Okay,
we have got dueling BS artists, we got people that
are full of crap, and you've got people that are
trying to sell you something. And the problem is more

(04:45):
and more people are just gonna can just accept the
offer and say, Okay, well yeah, I guess we'll go
through with the deal. Whatever you say. Let's first start
with Deshaun Watson. The roller coaster of apologies and sincerity
and all of the stuff that comes along with Deshaun Watson.
I can't even keep track of I'm dizzy. Wait a second,

(05:10):
so nothing happened you You're completely innocent, you refuse to settle,
and you were in a sitting there talking with lawyers
and you're telling them nothing happened. My intentions weren't that
anything would go further because I have a girlfriend. And
but then your own lawyer comes out and says, no,
stuff did happen. And then he talks about happy endings

(05:32):
on a local Houston radio show, and then Deshaun Watson
comes back afterwards and says, you know, I'm truly sorry.
I mean, this is all last week this played out
where he said I'm truly sorry to anybody that I've
offended and etcetera, etcetera, and everyone's saying, okay, finally an apology.
And then and then he comes all the way back
around this week and says, well, you know, I'm apologizing

(05:55):
and a written statement and I'm after and then he
has this press conference and then he says, why apologizing
not only to but to all women and yourself included.
And the guy that was asking him a question isn't
a woman, clearly because it's a guy. And it's just
so the whole thing. I'm just trying to keep track
of the roller coasters of sincerity and apologies and nothing happened,

(06:15):
and I did nothing wrong, and I I I am
innocent even though I settled. It's not an admission of
It's almost like Deshaun Watson is just taking you through
this weave of bs and we're all just kind of
going up and down along for the ride. Nice little
roller coaster, alright, cool, it's a good cotton candy after this,

(06:36):
I guess is what we're doing. Grab a corn dog, honey, please?
This is I guess this is what we're doing. And
it's almost like the NFL saw that and they said, huh,
so you think you can put everybody on hold and
go talk with your manager and try and get a sale.
Watch this, We've settled on eleven games and five million dollars.
And wouldn't you notice? Can you believe it? The game

(06:59):
to Shawn Watson is finally eligible to play is gonna
be against his former team, the Houston Texans. Golly, I
can't believe it. Are you ready to go through with
the deal? Why? Certainly you gotta be kidding me? Man?
Does the NFL actually expect anybody to believe that of
all the potential punishments and all the potential outcomes of

(07:23):
punishment that they settled on eleven games. Just out of
the blue, it just happened to coincide with his first
game back being against the Houston Texans. It just it
just happened to be that he's gonna be taking on
his former team his very first game. I mean, of

(07:45):
all the coincidences, it's like dueling bs artists, and they
expect us to just believe it. Just okay, hook line
is sinker. We buy it. Like at some point is
somebody gonna look around and go all right, hold on,
hold on, listen, just just come clean here. Why don't

(08:09):
you just say what it is now. I'm not gonna
go as far as Tony Busby and say that the
NFL doesn't care about, you know, abuse to women or
anything like that. I'm not gonna go that far because
I think that's painting the NFL with a broad brush.
I'll simply say this, the NFL may care about that,
but they also care about the TV show they're putting on,

(08:31):
and I think that supersedes everything. Because if the NFL
really wanted to play the morality police, they could probably
go into a lot of locker rooms and a lot
of coaching staffs and a lot of places in the league, owners,
high ranking officials, and they could probably clean house and
get a lot of get rid of a lot of
shady people. They could. The NFL can absolutely do that.

(08:56):
But this idea that of all the potential punishments that
we had been hearing, we'd heard everything from it's gonna
be two years like Trevor Bauer. We heard it was
gonna be a full season. Then we heard two to
four games, and then four to six, and then six
to eight, and then ultimately it was six games. And

(09:18):
then when it went to appeal, we heard it was
gonna be a full season again, and then we heard
ten million dollars, and then we heard it was gonna
be twelve games. And then I remember, like three weeks ago,
I threw out half kidding, I wonder if they're going
to settle on eleven games, because his first game back
would be the Houston Texans. I was I was busting balls.

(09:38):
I didn't think it would actually happen, and yet here
we are and that's the one they settled on. It's
like we're all sitting around just supposed to believe it. Here,
let me put you on hold if I can get
you this deal, you're ready to go through it. Let
me talk to my manager, puts us on hold, and
the NFL goes, takes a crap, washes its hands, gets

(10:00):
a cup of coffee, comes back to the desk and
goes all right. So I think I think we can
get you the deal you want to go through with it.
I just talked with my manager sold. It's unbelievable, and
yet here we are, just getting ready for another season.
Ho hum. League moves on. Can't stop the juggernaut that
is the National Football League. It's amazing. Jonas Knocks Fox

(10:23):
Sports Radio. You can get me on Twitter at the
Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter, and we
are going to take you all the way upuntil New
Eastern time, nine am Pacific. We're gonna have the Usuals
coming up. Later on, We're gonna have another edition of
Do You Care. We're gonna have the Scraps, the usual
grab Bass and Shenanigans. We got Isaac lowin Crown on Updates.

(10:43):
We got Ryan Burshinger, our executive producer. We got a
special appearance from Roberto. We told Iowa Sam to kick rocks,
Go hug a silo for two hours. We're bringing in
the heavy artillery. We've got Roberto Flores and come on,
man fired up, all right, coming up next, there's a situation.

(11:04):
It's very strange, it's very bizarre, a lot of elements
to it, a lot of layers, emotions, love life, money,
super Bowls, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And we're starting to hear
some rumblings that somebody finally, finally has the truth. We'll

(11:24):
get into that for you right here on fs ARE.
Ah Man Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. All right, coming
up in uh, we'll call it a little over ten

(11:44):
minutes from now. Somebody has gotten involved in a in
a developing situation in the National Football League, you know.
And this is somebody and influence, somebody with power and
uh and they have spoken out on a major storyline
in the NFL. So who will get to that here
or a little over ten minutes from now on fs ARE.
You know I've mentioned this before that one of the

(12:06):
there's like these parting shots that people like to give
you in radio behind the scenes. So when you go
on the air, the technical producer will tell you are
when your mics on, when you're live that way, you know,
because if not for the technical producer, and and I
don't call them board ops because that's a demeaning term.
There technical producers. If not for the technical producers. I've

(12:27):
talked about this before, nothing exists, nothing you here exists.
They control the buttons, they control everything. They are the pilot,
all right. There's a reason why when you're when you're
walking off a plane, if you see the pilot you say, hey,
thanks man, It's like, hey, appreciate it because you got
us here safely. That's the same thing with the technical producer.
Hey appreciate it. You got us here safely. The problem

(12:49):
is sometimes they'll swipe you, like as you're driving by,
and they're not like gonna gonna hit you with their car.
They're just gonna hit you with their side mere. You know,
you're standing there and all of a sudden, Oh the
hell was that awesome guy just clipped you with this
side mirror. Iowa Sam does it all the time. He'll
curse at me, he'll say a line up the departed,

(13:11):
things like that. Roberto is in today for Iowa Sam.
Just uh. One of the most insulting terms that you
could say to somebody and in Spanish, and one of
the few things in Spanish that I actually know because
I have seen Narcos Mexico. So if you're wondering why
sometimes I laugh when I come back on the air,
it's because these guys are hitting me with their side

(13:33):
with their side mirror, and normally I get it from
Sam and now I'm getting it in Spanish from Roberto.
So this is we have. But we are completely completely
at the hands of Roberto Flores here for the next
couple of hours. Everybody gets enjoy strapping. Gonna be a
fun ride here on FS are all right? So this
is um a story that a lot of people have
found very very interesting. I got a lot of people

(13:56):
poking their heads in wanting to know, Hey, what's going on? Hey,
what do you think it could be? What does this mean?
Moving forward? It's this Tom Brady time away from the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You know, he he took some time.
We're gonna be gone about ten days. And when the
story first came out, it was Tom Brady's gonna step

(14:19):
away for about ten days, and then there was some
concern is everything okay, it's not health related? Tom Brady
is good. Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times came
out and said, it's not his parents. Everybody's healthy, it's
not a family illness. Everybody's good. So then the speculation
started as if it's any of our business, well, maybe

(14:41):
he's getting a divorce. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah,
every time somebody takes a little bit of time off work,
it's probably because they're getting a divorce. Makes all the
sense of the world. Why didn't I think of that?
So whatever you hear one of you, or favorite sports
talk radio hosts or producers or anchors or anybody that

(15:06):
you hear on Fox Sports Radio that may not be
here at some point over the next I don't know
a couple of weeks. If they're gone, immediately jump to
conclusions and think that they're getting a divorce. In fact,
even if they're not married. Just go with that one,
because why not everybody else is doing it with Tom Brady.
So there was that whole situation and drama that that's

(15:28):
been playing out and brewing and developing, and then you
got this speculation that came out. Somebody threw it out
I think it was on Reddit that maybe Tom Brady's
taking time away from the Bucks because he's filming the
masks singer. All right, now, if that's true, I got

(15:49):
a ton of questions, none of which that I probably
want to ask on the air because they're probably insulting
to the mask singer. And last I checked that as
a Fox Television product, so IM a big fan of
the product. But the whole situation is just kinda I mean, okay, like,
what do we got? What's happening here? Well, Todd Bowles,

(16:11):
he has given a little bit of clarity on the situation. Right,
So Todd Bowles said, and I quote, I know exactly
when Tom is coming back. I've consistently said it would
be sometime after the Titans game, which is this weekend.
Do I look worried? I'm not worried. So I don't

(16:31):
know why anybody would ask whether or not I'm worried.
End of quote that from Todd Bowls, the head coach
of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in regards to Tom Brady.
I threw this out on Friday on Fox Sports Radio.
Here's what I think happened. Right, since we're all gonna
play the speculation game, this is what I think happened.
I think Tom Brady had had was settled on retirement,

(16:54):
and I think Giselle, his wife, who this has been
talked about. I'm not speaking out of school here. I'm
not trying to dive into anybody's personal information. This is
something that has been discussed. Tom Brady was on doing
an interview with Howard Sterring a couple of years ago.
He brought up the same thing. He said, Hey, you know,
my wife at some point felt like I wasn't where

(17:16):
I needed to be as far as helping out with
the family and being there for the family, and so
I had to really understand I'm no longer a single guy,
and I had to make more time for them. It's fair.
Every guy goes through that, especially when you get married,
you have a family. All of a sudden reality hit
you and you go, oh, so you mean I can't

(17:38):
just like go out and get ripped in a half
until three in the morning and then and then come
home and vomit in a trash can and just wake
up the next morning and go get chili, cheese, fries,
and and we're good and it's just a weekend. Oh,
I actually have to take care of somebody. Okay, I
got you. So Tom Brady has said this openly. So
what I think happened is they got into this offseason

(17:59):
to Tom Brady retired, and Gizell said, cool, I'm booking
a trip in August. We're going somewhere, no training camp,
no football, We're going somewhere. And then all of a sudden,
a few weeks later, Tom Brady's like, so, I think
I want to play again, and she said, okay, I'm

(18:20):
not canceling this trip. We're still going. So you need
to figure that out. And I think that was probably
part of a conversation that Tom Brady had. And here
we are and he'll be back this weekend and he's
been silent on social media and everything's gonna be okay.
But the idea that ten days away, you got people

(18:41):
that are throwing out why I think Tom Brady wants
to retire. I think Tom Brady wants this. I think
it's like, dude, if he wanted to retire, he would
have just stayed retired. If anybody that knows the commitment
and what it takes, it's him. The guy's training year round.
He's not being held hostage by anybody. If he wanted

(19:02):
to stay retired, he want have stayed retired. He wanted
to come back for a reason. That's why he's going
through the whole grind. And just because you missed ten
days of training camp doesn't mean that you're skipping all
the hard stuff. The hard stuff are you know, the
eighteen weeks you're taking a pounding four reel in NFL games.

(19:23):
So this idea that, oh my god, this is cost
for concern, I don't I don't buy into it. I mean,
if you just want to look immediately around what's happening
in Tampa Bay. If you want to point to injuries,
that's fair. Ryan Jensen. Bad injury that sucks, that's gonna
have an impact. They've had other injuries that have popped

(19:46):
up throughout training camp. That's probably frustrating, and there's gonna
be stuff that happens throughout the course of the season.
But the idea that him stepping away from training camp
for ten days is all of a sudden, like, oh
my god, this is dooming gloom. Dude. He's been in
the league since like the nineteen forties. If anybody knows

(20:08):
how to get themselves prepared for a season, it's the
guy that's still playing at an m v P level
in he's at forty four and forty five years old.
You've got people that were arguing last year he should
have been the MVP of the league. Last we saw
him in a playoff game against the Rams. The Rams
were biting their fingernails to the knuckles hoping that game

(20:31):
wouldn't go into overtime and Tampa Bay got the ball
first because you know what would happened, they would have
lost that game. They were on the verge of gagging
away that game in Tampa Bay because Tom Brady was
playing lights out. But the problem is that Buck Secondary
blown coverage, Cooper Cup got open, and the rest is history.

(20:52):
So this idea he's gonna step away for ten days
and all of a sudden, it's gonna be damning on
the season. Not buying it whatsoever. And guess what if
he does turn around and retire this weekend, We'll go
ahead and delete this from the podcast. And you never
heard any of this. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio, get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas
Knocks on Twitter, and you can hang out with us
as always on the I Heart Radio app. All right,

(21:12):
coming up next, there is somebody that has now involved
themselves in a in a pretty big storyline that has
played out in the NFL over the past several months.
You will hear from them. I also think they two
are full of crap. We'll get into that for you
coming up here in a couple of moments from now.
But for all the latest from around the world of sports,
ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a man who
cracks the mic. He's been doing it for well over

(21:35):
a decade here at Fox Sports Radio. He is a
play by play man. He is a voice of reason.
He is Sports Talk Radio Royalty. High atop the mountaintop
of sports Talk Radio, I present to you, sir, rise
the longcron. You know, I'm plenty of steamed at you.
What happened for cheating on me? What do you mean?

(21:58):
We all come on listen. I I for for the
longest time. It's been one of the highlights of my week. Frankly,
these wonderful, thoughtful, loving introductions you give me. Then yesterday,
I'm arriving here at Fox Sports Radio very early in
the morning, and of course I'm listening to two pros

(22:20):
and a cup of Joe, and I hear you introduce
my beloved colleague Eddie Garcia as quote sports talk radio
Royalty unquote, and I I feel scorned, Isaac. You know
I get around. I do now, I do now, and listen,

(22:45):
if you know, you know what I'll I shop in
so to speak, me complimenting the last name Garcia should
not be that much of a surprise, okay, because I
just I just want to be clear here, but again
that that was I and and full disclosure, I didn't
know you were in the building and you were going
to hear that, So I apologize. It will never happen again.

(23:06):
You are Sarazaclane Krown. Oh now you're now you're trying.
Now you're trying to cover it up. You're sending me,
but you're sending me radio flowers right now? Are I am?
Listen a dozen roses, which, by the way, pro tip
for for any of you people out there that spend
a significant amount of money on flowers, get a grip alright,

(23:26):
you don't need to spend that much money. All you
gotta do. And if you want to be very authoritative
about this, by the way, because it's it's a real deal.
If you want to be romantic, all right. You can
go to a supermarket or a smaller place, a place
around town that sells flowers. You can buy a dozen
roses and then when you get home just add an

(23:48):
extra number on the price tag and make it seem
like you spend a lot of money. So all of
a sudden turns into or if you could make it.
I have to one before, why not was that with
the woman you're married to? Or was that somebody else?
Of course I think she said yes, come on, Isaac.

(24:11):
But but there would have to be a craft because
what if it's a a printed label and you have
I mean, you would have to hand right in the
extra number, but make it look like it's printed. Well,
I think there's a thing you can get on your
computer where you can make like basically is filling the
blank receipts. I'll print one of those out and just

(24:32):
happen to leave it in the bag, you know, right
next to the uspiciously knowledgeable but covering your tracks but
just two ever too early for Valentine's Days ideas. Just
to be clear, So yesterday the Eddie Garcia sports talk
radio thing, it was just a one time slip up.
You're saying you never said anything like that to any

(24:52):
other anchor but me except that one time. I don't
want to talk about this. Thank you for don't don't
get many gas, don't for any gas on the fire?
Berto you ever hear that movie John Tucker Must Die? Yeah?
All right, now starting to get these listening to Jonas.
I also I hate to bring up John Penn in
that movie. No, okay, what Michael Douglas is Michael Douglas

(25:16):
in that movie? What you say it? Because if he's
not burtles not watching? Okay, all right, It's just I'm
getting a vibe here of like the first time that
Tiger had to explain this to his after she hit
him with a nine iron. No, no, I mean, have
you heard that story. I've heard different rumors about what

(25:38):
happened that night when she found out, and because these
different rumors, but the story that I heard is that
he fell asleep, he left his phone unlocked, he got
a text, she went through the phone, and then while
he was asleep, she took a golf club to his face.

(26:00):
Is that accurate? That's that's that is what I said.
And then he ran out of the house and then
that's when he crashed his car. That's what I heard.
I think. I think if I do mentally recreate what
I remember of what was being reported that she confronted him,
he headed to the car for refuge. Uh, she went

(26:23):
after him with a golf club, and then the backing
into the thing happened. Oh that was a big deal
back in the day. We're having that, man, those Manti
Teo flashbacks this week because of the documentary. But oh
my god, the first episode was the best part. I
just got it. This is not a spoiler. The best

(26:44):
part is the person behind the cat fishing of Manteo.
They're talking about like their profile on Facebook or whatever.
I think pretty sure it was Facebook, and they're like, look,
like all the interests things like that, Like all of
that was me, Like like like the the you know,
everything I liked, my my tastes and music, all of

(27:06):
that stuff. All of that was me. Yeah, except for
your gender and the pictures you posted, and then that
that was me. I don't worry about it. Hold on,
like what it's insanity, man. So yeah, there's another episode
to go. But it's, uh, it is fascinating to see
how that whole thing. What a moron, dude, It's not

(27:26):
only it's not so I gotta watch the second episode,
but I can't away from the first episode going. None
of his friends were like, hey, dude, exactly, that's the
one thing you never met up with her and she's
the love of your life. It's like, come on, come on,

(27:50):
that's that's like me saying, you know, I've never seen
the Eiffel Tower, but I love it. Man. God what
a place? Like wait, what, I've never been there? Yeah?
Would you know? But yeah, I'm waiting to see the
second episode, very highly regarded. Its premiered last night and

to Mason Shrek with one oh five to play in
the fourth quarter. Ram's number two quarterback John Wolford in
his first action of the preseason fourteen and twenty two
for a hundred and forty two yards back to the
suddenly on thin ice with me, Jonas Knox. Yeah, we
got some time. I'll make it up to you, I promise,
all right. We got like an hour and a half

(29:39):
uh it is Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, by the way,
coming up in we will call it a little over
ten minutes from now. Somebody thinks you care way more
about a storyline in the world of sports than you
actually do. We will expose them in another edition of
do You Care that Again? Coming up a little over
ten minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio. Uh So,

(30:00):
the Jimmy Garoppolo situation with forty Niners, everybody knows what's
gonna happen, Like everybody knows it's gonna get released. It's
just it's what it is. He's gonna get released. Now
they can hope and pray for an injury in camp somewhere,
maybe at Jacoby Brissette all of a sudden falls apart

(30:21):
or Josh Rosen doesn't deliver, and now the Browns are
really desperate because they think they got a playoff team.
And so now the Browns are going to commit more
money towards making a trade or something like maybe that's
a possibility. Maybe the Niners look around and go, hey, Seattle,
we don't mind trading Jimmy Garoppolo inside our division because
we don't believe in the guy. Maybe they'll trade him there.
Maybe Tom Brady does walk away and start broadcasting for Fox,

(30:44):
and next thing you know, Tampa Bays will get around
for a quarterback and Jimmy. All that being said, he's
gonna get released because if he's on the roster, the
Niners have got to pay him twenty six million dollars.
I don't know if you know this or not. Kind
of expensive for a backup, unto expensive, a tad bit pricey,
but they're gonna have to pay him twenty six million dollars.

(31:05):
And they've also are there trying to get a deal
done with Nick Bosa. Like there are things that are
happening there in San Francisco. Everybody knows what's going on.
And you've heard at different times throughout the season or
throughout the off season, like Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch
talk about, oh, you know, we have no you know
what we we're training Jimmy Garoppolo. Um, this is we're

(31:27):
gonna find a destination. We have no interest in releasing
Jimmy Garoppolo, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. In steps the owner of
the forty Niners, Jed York. So Jed York now comes
on this week and says the following about Jimmy Garoppolo

(31:48):
that we're happy to keep Jimmy Garoppolo and have him
on the roster the entire year. If that's the case,
then that's the case. Salary cap is different today than
having no allery cap. But again, we're happy to keep Jimmy,
and so the plan is if they need to keep
him the entire season, they'll keep him the entire season.
All Right, you're not helping matters here. Nobody's buying this.

(32:12):
I don't care if it's from the owner. I don't care.
If it's from the GM. I don't care if it's
from the coach, I don't I don't even care if
it's from Trey Lance. He's getting released. That's it. He's
gonna get cut. And the only thing that's happening here
is the longer they hold onto him, the harder it
is for him to catch on with the team and

(32:33):
actually really compete for a starting job. I mean, Baker
Mayfield cut it close, and we talked about it last week.
The fact that he is the starter in Carolina when
Sam Donald had a year head start kind of a
bad look on Sam Donald. But Jimmy Garoppolo is gonna
get somewhere the week of the season opener. He's not

(32:55):
gonna have time to actually compete for a job. And
if he goes somewhere and that quarterback starts playing, well,
you think that team's gonna all of a sudden hand
the keys over to Jimmy Garoppolo and say, all right,
it's been six weeks now, we think you're ready to go.
Not happening. So, yes, they've put him in a little
bit of a bad spot because they're trying to get
a deal done. But nobody around the NFL is gonna
trade for him because they all know what the outcome is.

(33:17):
So Jed York could say, whatever he wants it, Oh,
we're happy to keep him on the roster all year.
Sure you are, yeah, of course, of course you are
for free for a million or two million a year,
not at two six million, whatever it's gonna cost to
keep him. I'm sure they'd love to keep Jimmy Garoppolo.

(33:37):
Guys in the locker room love him there. But this
idea that, oh my, we've got all these offers and no, no, no,
we know what we're doing and we're gonna play hardball
here dude, you're playing hardball and you got a whiffleball
bat that's broke, likeing like nobody's buying this, So Jed York,

(33:59):
Kyle Shannon in John Lynch, Everybody's like trying to sell
the same story when everybody around the league knows, dude,
he's gonna get released. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, get

Listen my brothers in Mexico right now listening on the
I Heart Radio app. He texted me he was having

(35:28):
breakfast yesterday and an iguana walked by the size of
a Tri Sara tops. Things are massive, Bertio. They just
run around in Mexico. Iguanas they're just hanging out like
in different parts of Mexico. Yeah, I guess the tropical
parts of Mexico. Yeah, that's weird. How when my parents
grew up, Well, they're on the grill exactly. Yeah that

(35:54):
was the appetizer. Um. But yeah, so a lot of
people hanging out with us here on a Saturday. Coming
up top the next hour, a little over ten minutes
from now, we are going to get into somebody who
just continues to find themselves in awful situations in the NFL.
I actually feel bad for him. They find themselves in
terrible situations. Now I think about it, it's two guys

(36:15):
in the NFL that find themselves in terrible situations. We
will get into that here on fs are Right now, though,
it is time for something we do every single week
at this time, 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.
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.

(36:37):
But Jonas, the real question is do you care? And
for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
Ryan Burr Singer verse, what do we got? Well, Lebron
James signed a two year extension with the Lakers. Jonas,
do you care? No, I don't listen. Uh, he's he's
under delivered here, this whole idea that that he's you know, uh,

(36:58):
he really wants to be a Lake her. I don't
think any Laker fan looks at Lebron James and goes, man,
he's a true Laker. That that guy is a true Laker.
He's a hired gun, he's a mercenary. This meant nothing
to me, and it shouldn't mean anything. To anybody else.
Next The NBA will feature Rivals Week as part of
their regular season this year, Jonas, do you care to see?
This is what I was talking about? Like, like the

(37:21):
NBA actually thinks anybody gives a craft about this? When
do they open their regular season in the middle of
football season. Cool, we'll catch you guys in March. I mean, seriously,
how many more times do I need to go on
the air and say you should start your season on Christmas?
Open it up on Christmas Day? The floor is yours

(37:41):
even this the Christmas This year they're gonna have to
compete with the NFL and they're gonna lose buy a
lot in the ratings game. But it's like, dude, you
have you have this, this opportunity here. You sort of
fell into it when you have the shortened season, the
sixties six game season a few years back. You had
to start your year because of the lockout and the
labor dispute. You have to start your year on Christmas Day,

(38:03):
And it was fantastic. All of a sudden, people are
opening up gifts, hanging out with the family. Hey, what
do you know? NBA games five of them from morning
time all the way till night. But they don't want
to do that. They want to continue to compete with
the NFL, and they think rivalry Week is gonna get
anybody excited about wanting to watch NBA games. Next, Alabama
tops the first a people of the season, Jonas, Do

(38:25):
you care? Not really? I mean, listen, I care because
it's college football and it is finally game week in
college football because we've got actual games coming up later on.
But the preseason poll never, it doesn't do anything for me.
The only thing it does is make it more difficult
for somebody on the outside of the top twenty five
or somebody that finds themselves in the in the back
end of the top to get high enough in the

(38:47):
rankings to actually compete for real bowl games. Other than that,
what's the point, Like, how do we like? How do
we know who's good? I mean, I'll say this though,
Alabama Ohio State I think are clearly better than anybody
else in the country. And you've got two programs that
lost last year, two rivals, you know, Alabama Ohio State.

(39:12):
They've got red asses and they're coming back for revenge. Next,
as you guys mentioned, the Man Titeo documentary is now
on Netflix. Jonas, do you care? I do. I am
fascinated by how somebody could meet the love of their
life but never meet them, Like it's just like not
some part that just blows my mind. I didn't know

(39:33):
as possible, I sweart of God. I didn't know as
possible love of my life. What do you mean, dude?
You don't even know if they smell like isn't that
kind of like I got news for you. There's probably
a lot of beautiful people out there that I'm like,
was it halitosis? What is that thing? How versus? What's
it called halatosis? That that thing where you got chronic
bad breath? How do you know? You meet somebody online

(39:56):
and all of a sudden you go to hang out
with them and it's as smells they've been bobbing for
sewer rats. I mean, that's that to me would be
an indicator that I'm out the door on anything like this. Next,
The Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon premieres
tomorrow night. Jonas, do you care? Not really listen? I
loved Game of Thrones. I love the music, the presentation.

(40:19):
I know a lot of people weren't happy with the
ending and it felt like it was kind of rushed
and all that, and and everybody was a little bit disappointed.
But I love Game of Thrones. I just the prequel,
Like it's come on, what are we doing here? I mean,
you're gonna have to release somebody, because listen, if the
Hounds not in it, I'm not interested. All right. There
were like some other characters that weren't main stars, and

(40:41):
I think really made the show. And plus football is
coming up. Man, I don't have time to watch Game
of Thrones or some spinoff. Give me a break. Fox
Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot
com and within the I Heart Radio app. Search f
s R to listen live. So we got a couple
of quarterbacks in the NFL that have been putting really

(41:03):
really tough situations. In fact, I would argue terrible spots.
We will get into all that coming up here in
just a couple of moments from now. It is Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with us
as always on the I Heart Radio app. You can
find us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country
and wherever the hell you are making us a part
of your Saturday morning. We appreciate you doing so. We're

(41:24):
gonna take you all the way up through the end
of the hour New and Eastern time, nine am Pacific
right here on fs are. It is a heavy, heavy
weekend in the world of football and beyond, and so
we will keep it right there in the world of football.
Um there I feel and what I want to preface this,
I don't feel bad and that I'm playing the violins

(41:46):
for these guys, but I just don't think they've been
putting the best positions to succeed, right. And there's a
couple of quarterbacks, and there are several more examples of this,
but I've noticed this with two guys in particular, and
a lot of this is just bad luck, bad circumstances, Uh,
find themselves with an opportunity and then all of something,

(42:07):
some sort of crazy happens and it's a little strange,
so on and so forth. So Jacoby Brissette is now
the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns right for the
first eleven games. Just want to be clear, all right,
because you know, just coincidentally, uh, it's it's not for
the game against the Texans. That's what Deshaun Watson's back.
But don't worry. The NFL thinks you're an idiot, and

(42:28):
they're just gonna go ahead and slide that by and think,
now you know, well, we're not here to to play
up the TV show aspect of what we're doing with
our league's. Yeah, the NFL thinks you're dumb. But Jacoby
per said, is the starting quarterback in Cleveland now, and
he's gonna be the guy. And so he talked about
the opportunity to be the Brown starter with the season
fast approaching. I'm just excited for the opportunity. I don't

(42:50):
take it lightly obviously. Uh, just going out to continue
to be the demand that I am the player, dot
I am the teammate that I am and and uh,
I think all of that stuff kind of take care
of the self forth stuff for So he's prepared to go,
he's ready to go, ready to step up. And everything
you've ever heard about Jacoby Brissette, great dude, same thing

(43:13):
you've heard about Tyrod Taylor. Great guy. But both those
guys I've noticed have been put in awful spots, not
only just now but throughout their entire career. Think about
Jacoby Brissette's career. He gets to New England. This is
a guy, by the way, that Bill Parcels was really

(43:34):
high on. If you go back, Bill Parcels love Jacoby
Brissette said he can be a starter in this league.
He can get opportunities, and Bill Parcels was right. Is
Jacoby Brissette the best quarterback in the league. No? Is
he a top five, top ten, top fifteen guy. No,
But he can start, he can compete, he can keep
you alive, keep you relevant. He can win you some games.

(43:56):
He's and again solid dude. You can trust him, no issues,
no drama. He'll be around the league for years and
years and years and he's gonna make a great living
doing it. But if you just look at his opportunities
in the NFL, he gets to New England and the
only reason he gets a chance is because Tom Brady

(44:20):
gets suspended for deflated footballs, which I can't even believe
was actually a real thing. That that that's gonna be
another one that we look back on like the Mantao
documentary and go, wait what Tom Brady gets suspended for?
What for? For that? It's it. The whole thing is
bizarre Jimmy Garoppolo steps in, gets injured, and then Jacoby

(44:42):
Proseta gets his opportunity. Then Jacoby Pricette finds himself in Indianapolis.
Clearly the backup they've got Andrew Luck. Think I maybe
they got Andrew Luck. They're fine. I mean, we're all
good here. Andrew Lux our starter, he's he's the guy.
We've given him a contract, number one pick. In fact,

(45:05):
you know, you want to talk about tanking when we
wanted to part ways, you know, because Peyton Manning's neck
was starting to fall apart. We started Curtis Painter for
a year, didn't really upgrade the position, and then Indianapolis
found themselves in a spot to where, oh you mean
we can actually draft number one and take Andrew Luck,
which at that time was the modern day John Elway,

(45:27):
a can't miss product, a project, a prospect at a college,
a guy at a Stanford that everybody said, no matter what,
he's gonna be the guy. And he ends up in Indianapolis.
So clearly Andrew Luck was gonna be there ten twelve,
who knows, fifteen years everybody loved him. Now it's a

(45:47):
preseason game. He's standing on the sidelines final preseason game,
by the way, that a week before the season. And
then you see him whisper to Jacoby per said, hey man,
so I'm out see you and used to look at
Jacoby Prisett. You can find the video. Or Jacoby Brissette
finds out on the sidelines that Andrew Luck is retiring,

(46:10):
and Jacoby Brisset looks stiff and goes, huh, yeah, I'm
out see you. Just let him know I'm gonna retire.
And Jacoby brist finds out on the sideline of a
preseason game with an earpiece in that. Oh, by the way,
a week from now, you're our starting quarterback. Here's a
two year deal. Okay, I guess just sleep all right.

(46:36):
Then he gets to Cleveland, Hey, Jacoby, why are you starting? Ah?
You know, because the guy had him. He's a pervert.
I mean, for lack of a better term, had better.
I'll tell you he's he's got some issues, uh like
certain things likes to Uh, he's got a certain way

(46:57):
he likes to go about his treatment that that does
not really involve caring about the person that's also in
the room. As you uh pose in certain positions on
a massage table. That's why I'm the starting quarterback. Like
he's just everywhere he's been. The reason he's a starter

(47:18):
is bizarre. It's it's just the whole. It's just it's
just weird. The way he's starting games is weird. I mean, look,
you can even go back to last year. He was
starting games in Miami like that was the easiest place
to play football when you've got Brian Flores who clearly
had an axe to grind and clearly wasn't a fan

(47:39):
of two a tug of Voloa and all on all
the chaos that ensue there. So Jacoby Pricaid has been
putting a terrible spot. The other guy that's been putting
a terrible spot is Tyrod Taylor, right, Tyrod Taylor, who
is now with the New York Giants. I actually think
Tyrod Taylor is gonna start games. I think he's gonna
end up starting games because I don't Brian day Ball

(48:01):
believes in Daniel Jones. I don't think the organization really
believes in him. They can tell you whatever they want.
There's a reason they didn't pick up his fifth year option,
and Tyrod Taylor was brought in and he was given
real money as a backup quarterback with the Giants. I
think Tyrod Taylor is going to end up starting games
for the Giants this year. So this actually looks like

(48:22):
it could be a pretty good spot for Tyrod Taylor.
But if you go back to his career, Tyrod Taylor's
almost finds himself in the same spot. He gets drafted
by Baltimore. Actually was on that Super Bowl team with
the Ravens, just like Jacoby Brissette won a Super Bowl
backing up with with New England, and then finally, after

(48:44):
a few years in the league, gets his opportunity with
the Buffalo Bills. They say, you know what, We're gonna
give you a chance. Kind of an up and down,
you know, sort of okay quarterback numbers not great, but
not bad. He didn't turn the ball all over, he
doesn't throw a lot of interceptions. It's it's okay, kind

(49:05):
of an up and down. Then they go and they
draft Nathan Peterman because they thought Nathan Peterman was going
to be the guy. And um, so they decide in
the middle of a playoff run that they were going
to start Nathan Peterman on the road against the Chargers.
Back when the Chargers are playing in that soccer stadium

(49:27):
in Carson, California, which, by the way, i'd be careful
in that area. There a couple of places there. You know,
you gotta gotta watch yourself just well, just from personal experience,
a couple of places over there, you gotta be careful.
But they decide they're gonna start Nathan Peterman in a
year when they're trying to make a playoff run at
the Chargers, and Nathan Peterman goes out and throws five

(49:50):
interceptions in the first half, like what one of the
most notable horrible quarterback performances that you can remember. And
then Tyrod Taylor gets his opportunity. And then when he
finally gets his opportunity in Buffalo makes a playoff game,
he gets banged up towards the end of the game,
and Nathan Peterman's gotta finish that game. So Tyrod Taylor

(50:12):
is like, all right, clearly, my time is over in Buffalo.
I gotta go elsewhere. So he goes to the Browns.
He's gonna get an opportunity, right, this is a bad team,
it's a bad football team. He's gonna get a real
opportunity with the Cleveland Browns who haven't won a game
in seemingly years under under Hugh Jackson. And what ends

(50:34):
up happening On a Thursday night game early in the season,
he gets injured. His backup Baker Mayfield, comes in and
wins the Browns their first game in like a decade,
a game that was so momentous and so huge that

(50:56):
bud light fridges around the country automatically opened for specific
Browns fans in Brown's bars because that was their celebration
to finally winning a game. And Tyrod Taylor is looking around,
going all right, my time here is done. They got
their quarterback. Then he goes to the Chargers, all right,

(51:17):
bounce around again. Hey, I'm gonna get another real opportunity
to be a starting quarterback. And he's with the Chargers,
and the Chargers draft a guy in the first round,
so he knows, Hey, I understand they got a rookie quarterback,
but I'm a good quarterback to I've actually made a
Pro Bowl in my career. I've got credentials. I've been
in this league a long time. Gets to the Chargers

(51:42):
and a trainer punctures is along with a needle, and
I should laugh because the serious thing. But at some point,
Tyrod Taylor's looking around, going, dude, can I get a
break here? Justin Herbert comes in and the Chargers have
themselves one of the best young quarterback talent we've seen
in years, and he's out. Then he ends up with

(52:04):
the Houston Texans. And we know why. He was starting
games last year for the Houston Texans. We know why,
you know, because their quarterback who signed the deal, he
had a little bit of an issue. Again, you know
that guy who ended up in Cleveland, there was a
I just I look at these two careers and I go,
these are guys whose opportunities they've been there, but they've

(52:27):
either been there because of weird circumstances that led him
to that point, or they've been taken away because of
weird circumstances or draft picks, or those are two guys
that I look at and go, they have awful luck
in this league. They have terrible luck. But you know what,
great dudes in the locker room, no issues off the field,

(52:50):
and because of it, they're gonna stay around for ten, twelve,
maybe fifteen years, gonna collect a bunch of checks, make
millions of dollars. So good for them in that regard.
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. By the way, get me
on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks
on Twitter, and you can hang out with us as
always on the I Heart Radio app. All right, So

(53:11):
coming up next, um, this is what I think is
one of the great deals in all of sports. It's
one of the great deals out there, and if you're
not participating in it, I don't know what the hell
is wrong with you. We'll get into that for you
right here on fs are Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up in a little over ten minutes from now.

(53:35):
There's a coach in the NFL that's not making much sense.
All right, I'm a little confused. I'm trying to keep
track of the decision that is being made at quarterback
for one team in the league. And now I'm even
more confused. So you will hear why I'm confused and
why you also should be confused, coming up here in
a little over ten minutes from now here on fs ARE.
Obviously a lot of positive feedback on the show thus far.

(53:58):
People really really excited about what we've been doing here
on this show. I really really love everything that is
happening with with this program as always, Brian writes in uh,
he calls me a useless bleep, says I should be
relegated beneath a board since they actually serve a purpose
and I'm just a bleep bleep. They need to fill

(54:19):
in slots on the weekend, Brian write, centing on Twitter,
Tony also sends in his compliments of the show, your
cat fishing game is second to none with dudes around
West Hollywood. Then blank and bleep and and and finishing

(54:41):
off with Manti you flaming bleep. So that from so
that from Tony on Twitter. So if you want to
see the unedited versions of those, you can go to
my Twitter account at the Jodah Knocks on Twitter. That
at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter, and you could see

(55:02):
why that one was really difficult to say on the
air without getting dumped. So there's that. Uh, most of
those things, so I could have this ain't the overnights,
So I swear to God, I grew up. The reason
I got into sports radios because I love radio. At

(55:23):
loved it. I remember sitting in my mom's van and
she would drive around and we would listen to the
radio all the time AM radio. I was fascinated by it.
I to this day, I still love it. I just
there's an excitement I get. I don't know what it is.
I just love radio, always have. Never once growing up

(55:43):
did I think about tweeting or emailing or calling into
a show and calling somebody a homophobic slur because I
disagreed with one of their opinions. Never occurred to be.
Never literally just never occurred to me. I don't know.
I don't know what it was. I never got to
the point where I'm like, you know what, I don't

(56:04):
like what that guy has to say, and I'm gonna
go double and tripled down on a homophobic slur. That's
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna call him up and
let him know that it never occurred to me. I
feel like I really missed out on something I didn't
even know that was an option growing up. So again,
you could check those out the unedited versions at the
Jonah stocks on Twitter. Just amazing stuff. By the way,

(56:27):
I had to mention this also, how about Marcelo Zuna
of the Braves, one of the all time moves Dude
gets pulled over for a d U I and then
when the cops come to the window, he says, I'm
Mozuna with the Braves even like doesn't even give his
first day, just I'm Mozuna with the Braves, like just

(56:49):
so they know in case they've been to a Braves game.
I don't want to give you my first name to
throw you off. That's the name that's on the back
of my jersey. Am I gonna get out of this,
d u? I absolutely not, absolutely forgot to mention I'm
the guy that beat up my wife. Well there's that too,
And he also forgot I'm also batting too. I'm also
batting to fourteen. You forgot to mention that also. What

(57:12):
are you doing, dude? What are you doing? I've never
thought to myself when I've gotten pulled over. Yeah, I'm
Knocks from Fox Sports Radio, and I gotta I got
a speeding ticket, which, by the way, what a bunch
of craft that was. I got a speeding ticket a
couple of months ago. All cleared up now right, took
care of it. But I got a speeding ticket a

(57:34):
couple of months ago on the way into Fox Sports Radio,
and I never thought to myself to tell the guy
a h as he came to the window. I'm Knox
from Fox Sports Radio cop Wan I looked at me
and said, oh that's cool. Uh, I'm kiss my ass.
You were speeding. Here's your ticket. Have a nice day.
That's my name. Good to meet you. Have at it,

(57:55):
enjoy it. It never occurred to me. So apparently that
is the life of a successful professional athlete. And by
successful I mean again betting to fourteen. All right, Jonas
knocks here at FSR. Let me just say this. I've
talked about people complain a lot, and it's all for
good reason. The price of admission to get into games

(58:19):
around the world of sports goes up and up and
up significantly all the time. I mean, if you take
like you hear the old, the old argument, if you
take a family a fourd to a game, what's it
gonna cost you? Dude? You take a family of three
or two to a game? Nowadays, it's insane. Not even

(58:41):
just the tickets, the parking, the cost of food. God forbid,
you want to have a cocktail or maybe two, God forbid,
you want to you want to get to some ice
cream or dessert, or you want to get like a
cotton candy or a thing of popcorn, Like you go
to games now it's crazy and look, inflation prices have

(59:02):
gone up all over the country. Obviously with gas. Everybody
knows that story. So this isn't it's not like this
is just at professional sporting events. But it cost a
lot of money to get to a sporting event. Now
it's a lot. And so when you see teams whose
attendance is kind of low, it's hard for me to
feel bad for him, especially when you see how good

(59:25):
the product is on television, Like there's a reason why
the Big ten is getting eight billion dollars from three
different networks because the view and the the the price
and all of that stuff in comparison to what you
get at home or on television. If you want to

(59:47):
go to a sports bar or hang out and watch
a game, is light years from where it was a
long time ago. And so there's a lot of people
to go. And I've talked to people like this. I
remember there was a guy that was doing work at
my house and him when I were having a conversation
and he said, yes, Sunday's my day. He goes, Sunday's
my day. I get Sunday ticket and I hang out,

(01:00:09):
and my wife knows that's my day. That's that's like
my stay at home vacation. He's all, I grill, I
have a couple of drinks. I'm gambling on the games
all day long. He goes. Because I love certain teams.
I would love to go to these games in person,
but I got I got a wife, I got a
couple of kids. I can't afford it, so bang for
your buck. I'd rather stay home and watch games. It

(01:00:31):
just then then have to go to a stadium, deal
with traffic, pay for the gas, pay for the parking,
and all the other things that come along with it.
That being said, dude, you can get to a preseason
game in the NFL for like three dollars. I'm not
making that up. If if you just look around the
NFL and you're in one of these markets, and I
know they're backups, and I get all that, I I get,

(01:00:52):
I understand these are backup players. You're not gonna see
the best guys. But you can get to Bangals Giants
for six dollars tomorrow. You can get to Eagles Browns
in Cleveland and look, you're not gonna see Deshaun Watson.
But at least you're gonna see some other guys who
aren't weirdos, you know, and it's only gonna cost you

(01:01:14):
five bucks to get into that game. There were there
were tickets to the Washington Commando's game last week. Yes,
I know it's Commanders, but we like to have fun
with that name. There was tickets to to to the
Washington game last week for like a dollar. You could
you could walk into a stadium for a buck. And
I've been to preseason games before. Yeah, it's kinda I mean,

(01:01:37):
you know, I mean, sometimes the fields painted and taken
care of. Sometimes it's not, but you know what, it's
kind of cool. So if you have a family and
you want to get them to a game and you
can't afford some of the regular season prices, take him
to a preseason game. It's gonna cost you four or
five dollars to walk in. Now, once you get inside,
a hot dog's probably three and if you to get

(01:02:00):
like a twenty four ounce beer, that's probably you know,
another seven ninety dollars. So yeah, you're gonna you're gonna
be gonna pay out your ass when you walk into
the stadium. But to get into a game at those prices.
I don't know, man. I get that it's preseason, but
I think bang for your buck, that's a pretty solid
day if you want to go see a sporting event.
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at

(01:02:22):
the Jonas Knocks all Right's coming up next. There's a
coach in the NFL that's not making much sense. I'm
a little confused by some of the statements he's made.
We'll have that for you here on fs ARE for
all the latest from around the world of sports. Though.
This is a man who is goodness, greatness and perfection
on the mic. He has Sports Talk Radio Royalty. I

(01:02:42):
present to you the one and only sirrizing Long cron
al Right, and you're recovering nicely about it only took
an hour? Wait, do you see what I got an
hour three for you telling you I'll be waiting quite
a long time for the big time. Before I begin
with a really interesting Major League Baseball item that just
came down, I'm seeking a Jonas Knox social media clarification.

(01:03:05):
Someone I thought just came to your defense and tweeted,
bleep the haters, Jonas, you do you, but then closed
with hashtag butt chin, and I'm wondering what that particular
hashtag means as it relates to you, and is that
a compliment or a criticism? I have a butche in

(01:03:27):
what a butchin? Ever? Same? You ever seen the Beavis
and butt Head episode where they're talking about some guys
but chin. It's like college roommates were big fans of that.
They actually played the roles in person. Yeah, well, they
were talking about but chens on one of the episodes,
and uh I was watching with my girlfriend at the time,
and she started laughing because she thought they were talking

(01:03:48):
about me, because either Beavis and butt Head was like, yeah,
it looks like when he was standing in line with
God to get built, he stood in line for a
butt twice and they just threw it on his face.
And I said, oh, that's nice. So yeah, it's a
sounded like a real keeper there. How did you let
her get away? I haven't all listen, you know, things happened.
I'm sure they did. Hey, I thought, look, I thought

(01:04:12):
it was her. It was dark. What do you want
least you're honest about? Okay, I don't think it's so
it's a cleft chin you're saying. I don't I don't.
I don't know it's a butchet. Okay, but don't you
have like a goatee, you mustache or something. I'm not
proud of it. Why do they cover it up? Okay? Yeah, alright,
so like that, some people do that. It's like there's

(01:04:34):
probably some guy who's got a tattoo on his head,
like he grew up watching Bam Bam Bigelow and in
the W Yeah, he was like, man, I gotta get
a tattoo on his head. And then he got older
and he was like ooof and they started growing his
hair out. All right, you know, I didn't like my
butt chin, so I grew my hair out. And one
more clarification this from Bill how much rouge do you
really need? For Radio Jonas? What does he mean by that?

(01:04:56):
I don't know. I don't really wear makeup. I mean
I don't even wear makeup when I'm doing like some
of the TV hits for UM for CANBC with a
great Fred Rogan on Going Rogan, I don't. Yeah, I
don't use any makeup because I don't know how to
put it on. Yeah, yeah, that's that's the problem. I
also here, I once had a makeup incident that was

(01:05:17):
TV related. The problem was not putting it on, because
someone like put it on, but I didn't know how
to take it off. So I kept it on like
for three days and it did not turn out. Well. Yeah,
I think Oscar de Laya did the same thing once.
I will I will confirm that with our remember that.

(01:05:38):
Remember remember what Oscar de lat Yeah, the Golden Boy
chess up like Ivan start with day when you start
with a boxing item, and that onto this major league
baseball item. So the Tampa Bay Times has just published
a really candid interview with former Major league manager Joe Madden.

(01:05:59):
Of course, was recently the manager of the Angels until
he was unexpectedly fired on June seven, and Madden had
some very candid comments about the role of the modern
day major League baseball manager. He said, and I quote,
it's at the point where some gm should really just
put on a uniform and go down to the dugout

(01:06:20):
or their main analytical membrane. He should go down to
the dugout. The manager has so many voices in the
back of his head. By the time the game begins,
it's not his game like it had been. It's absolutely
the front office is game unquote who said that, Joe Madden,
you know, World Series champion manager. Don't mean it's his fault.

(01:06:43):
The Angels are bad. Remember, he wasn't just speaking about
the Angels. He was speaking about the state of the
modern Major League baseball manager across the board. He did
say something specifically about the Angels about after he was fired.
He said, quote, it's like once that happened, I dissolved
my affiliate ation with them. There's no emotion anymore, there's
no anything. It's like to me, they don't even exist

(01:07:06):
organizationally unquote. And then what happened with the Cubs? I mean,
what what? What an embarrassment? The Cubs are like what
they did? Like you couldn't you finally win a World Series?
You couldn't keep anybody like I mean no, like nobody.
You couldn't like not not Rizzo, not Bryant, couldn't keep buying. Well,

(01:07:27):
I mean you know that wasn't a good idea. Yeah,
well listen, I mean he's only been good for like
four months straight, No big deal. But you know, at
least Abbaya is a swing at the balls in the
dirt and making contacts. So I mean that that happens
but then you get rid of Joe Madden because theo
Epstein and him like couldn't get along. Why couldn't you
get along? Dude? He brings him a World Series for

(01:07:49):
the first time in over a hundred years. He's gonna go,
he's got to go. And then he gets to the
Angels and they're bad, and it's like, yeah, Joe Madden's
gotta go. Okay, Oh yeah, here's the problem. Sure, just
abruptly in the middle of June, when like three weeks
before that they were considered overachieving. If a guy brings

(01:08:09):
a team like the Tampa Bay Rays to a World
Series and then brings a team like the Cubs two
way World Series and wins, it isn't that kind of
an indication that maybe he knows a little bit of something,
Like I get that some of his moves, maybe we're questionable,
you know, leaving Chapman in in certain situations. I get
all that, But like, is it like, if there's a

(01:08:31):
common denominator between the Rays and the Cubs getting to
a World Series and it's Joe Madden, wouldn't you want
to keep him around? But it underscores the disconnect modern
across the board in Major League Baseball right now, between
the analytics minded executives and the field management. I mean,
he's essentially saying, you might as well have an app

(01:08:54):
manage the team that's programmed by the organization. Onto the NFL,
where we have two preseason games today kicking off at
one pm Eastern time. That will be the start of
today's preseason schedule. It'll be the Buffalo Bills hosting the
Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts playing host to the
Detroit Lines. Just about an hour and a half from now.

(01:09:14):
Jonahs back to you. Thanks Isaac Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, uh Andy Ferman sent me a text.
He said he got stopped by a cop lastly last
week going through a red light. He forgot his license,
so he told the cop that his name was Mike North.
So there's that. Uh So that's a class. How did
that workout? I hope the cops not a white Sox fan.

(01:09:34):
By the way, this is a true story. I once
was pulled over coming home from covering a Lakers game
back in the day, given a ticket after the ticket
was issued. That's exactly the audio of it. By the way,
after the ticket was issued, I began chatting with the
officer and it eventually came out, you know, as at
the Lakers game. Why are the Lakers game? Oh? Working radio?
What's your name? Isaac longcron Oh? If I would have,

(01:09:57):
if you would have told me you're Isaac Longcrown, I
wouldn't have having you a ticket. But after I write
the ticket, I have to give it to you. You
got you gotta drop your name a little bit. Eddie
Garcia pulled that one time. He claims that he didn't,
but he just happened to have his Fox Sports Radio
Duffel bag showing in the front seat. He just happened
to have that one very The cop ended up letting

(01:10:19):
him off. I guess that's why you referred to him
as royalty earlier too. Yeah. By the way, so you
know what Isaac did? Their subtle little slide in that
that a cop is listening to him could do the
Laker games. You know that, He's like, it's very smooth there, Isaac. No,
I know. I was. I was legitimately shocked. It wasn't
like a humble brig. I was like shocked because if
I ever tried that again, it would be you know,

(01:10:41):
step out of the car you're in trouble sort of deal.
I mean, if you know, like myself or Berto or
Ryan Burr Shing or get pulled over, we get taste.
But it's nice that you can you'll get off. It's
it's it's nice that Isaac will get out of tickets,
you know if he does name drops everybody. No, no, no,
I got no, no no. That's the point. Though I
got the ticket, I still got You wouldn't you wouldn't

(01:11:01):
of because he knew who you were. But it doesn't
it doesn't matter because he was. He was probably the
one time, the one cop in this metropolitan area to
this day who knows of me has a positive impression
of me and might not give me a ticket if
it came to that. And I used up, I used
up my you know, one get off free card and
I didn't even know it. Well, I think you're gonna

(01:11:24):
be okay. I have faith. I'm still recovering thing. That's
all right. Listen, he is the great Isaac Loan kron Uh.
There he is, folks. Jonas knocks Fox Sports tradeing. By
the way, I'm being told we have a special guest.
That's going to be making an appearance with this coming
up at about fifteen minutes from now in another edition,
or see about ten minutes from now in another edition
of the Scraps. So we will hear from them. Let's

(01:11:45):
hear from because I'm a little confused here. I wanted
to mention this quickly. A little confused here, um, because
Matt Rule told reporters that he's not ready to name
a starting quarterback in Carolina like that, that that he's
not ready. But I'm a little confused because he said

(01:12:08):
this a couple of weeks ago when in regards to
when he plans on naming a starter for the Carolina Panthers.
But I'm not putting a timetable in the quarterback position,
but at anything, even like you guess asked me about
left tackle, that until after we get from the Patriots week.
I think the Patriots week is a like true litmus
test for us, So, hey, where are we really? You know,
we're going against another team we're practicing. I think that
will really show us where guys are. Okay, so let

(01:12:31):
me get this straight. So, if the Patriots game was
the true test, you didn't play Baker Mayfield or Sam
Donald but you started Baker Mayfield last week. Isn't that
kind of an indication that maybe Baker Mayfield is going
to be your starter? Like the isn't that? I mean,
the fact that you started him last week but you

(01:12:51):
didn't play him, wouldn't wouldn't that tell you that Baker
Mayfield is probably I'm a little confused as to what
is happening. I mean, I know he doesn't want to
tip his hand, but for the sake of entertainment and
for the sake of everybody involved, let's just go ahead
and acknowledge what's happening. Baker Mayfield starting Week one, and
Baker Mayfield's gonna start Week one against the Browns and

(01:13:13):
it is going to be phenomenal TV. And I'm calling
my shot right now Baker Mayfield. Knowing Baker Mayfield, He's
going to score a touchdown or throw a touchdown at
some point in that game. And when he runs in
the end zone to celebrate with whoever he throws a
touchdown to, He's gonna pretend like he's giving them a
shoulder massage. I'm telling you right now, I'm calling my

(01:13:33):
shot that'll be the celebration from Baker Mayfield. Week one,
Matt Rule, you may not be ready to name a
starting quarterback even though you said you were a couple
of weeks ago. Don't worry, we all figured it out.
It's gonna be Baker Mayfield. Jonas Knocks, Fox Sports Radio.

Oh Man? You don't write, you don't call, You don't
then love note? Email? Ay, David Gascond, you can kiss
my ass. Let me tell you something I was trying
to line up. I was trying to line up an

(01:16:02):
interview with Dave. I teased it, I promoted it. Next thing,
you know, apparently a bolt of lightning hit your mouth
and you needed to go in for emergency oral surgery.
That's That's what the the story I was given by
the producers and the powers that be. What the hell happened?
A couple of weeks ago, a little early in the day,
I talked about sex Jonnas so didn't go that route,

(01:16:26):
but no I had. I had a chip in one
of my bowlers, and so the next morning I was
flying out to New York and so I needed to get,
you know, some repairs. I felt like a hockey player
for a hut in a minute, and so I had
a ditched the show. I was texting Ryan Burshing, are
your executive producer when this was all going on. So
I'm badly flaked. But isn't it ironic that I joined

(01:16:47):
you today and that little smug rat bastard I was
stamp in order to be found a little that little,
a little cry sniveling jerk as his as is Hagerstown
Little League dispatches his Davenport Iowa teams a couple of
days ago in the LIV seven. Iowa sucks, Okay sucks.

(01:17:08):
He's having around. Okay, hold on, what what? What? What
is your issue with Iowa? Saying? What's the problem? This
has been going on for like five years now, what's
the problem. Well, he talks too much about the state
of Iowa. That's one thing. He doesn't know anything about
Iohawkeeye football. He has a poster of Luca don Chitch
on his on a ceiling along with Luca Garza. And

(01:17:29):
he buys bad alcohol. He buys cheap bad alcohol for
going away parties. I just I don't know what do
you want? I mean, Can'm not asking for a whole lot? Okay?
What did he bring? I gotta hear this? Can Can
I take a guess? Can we all take a guess?
Is too? So? First of all, what what genre of
alcohol we're talking about? Was it vodka? Was it bourbon?
Was it beer? Okay? Can I guess the price point?

(01:17:55):
Because you know, you know Scotch, right, You're you're well
versed in the Scotch game as far as prices. All right,
let let me guess the price point. I'm gonna go
seven dollars and cs. No, he went a little bit
more than that, and I'll give you I'll give you
a small hint. He actually drove the Newport Beach to

(01:18:16):
deliver it. Okay, so he was he was he was
counting the money and thinking, all right, I'm gonna have
to pay this for gas. So he basically pulled the
old gas station trick. When you buy something inside the
gas station, you say give me the rest on number three.
So he basically walked into a gas station with a
ten dollar bill said can I get this and give

(01:18:37):
me the rest on number three? And then you walked
out with a cheap bottle of booze? Is basically what
you know what he did? You know what he did?
He went to the liquor store across the street. You know,
the place where you get the your deodorant with the
dust on it. Once he bought the scotch. Well I
was was one too many, but yeah, that's where he
bought the scotch at all right, Well, I mean listen,
if anybody's ever been to that fine establishment near the

(01:18:57):
radio studio, you know what, you never know what you're
gonna get there. I mean, it could be the crisis
could change overnight. It was it was Buchanan's right. That
thing is garbage? Was it Buchanans? Did? Did Bert get it?
Was not? It was not not burst? What do you
what do you think? First? The name of Scotch? Bursha,
chief Scotch? Are you a Scotch guy, bursh Uh? Not really,

(01:19:19):
I'll drink it. But you know, I don't know what.
I guess there's there's a Stunner. I mean, he's the
DeLorean back to the future. He'll intake anything. Um, all right, listen,
Uh so just I don't know. So what is the
name of the Scotch he dropped on your lap? So
he bought a glen Fich twelve years Um, yeah, a
little too cheap, but that's fine. I guess you know

(01:19:42):
them well. Listen, Dave, we're about to close up shop here.
But it was it was nice hearing from you with
a little impromptu in the gunner with David gascon any
parting shots for the audience you wanted to drop on
their laugh here, Dave, anything you want to say, I
don't I don't miss any of the audience. Good ridding,
kiss my ass. Mallary Militia peaced out there he is.

(01:20:04):
It's the gas man. What do you expect? Mm hmmm
