Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. So we got an
entire fan base who I think forgets how good they
actually had it. We will get into all that for
you coming up here just a couple of moments from now,

should be. You know, it's pretty funny when you see
somebody who doesn't realize how good they had it after
they had it. You know, like there's probably some of
you who have had an X or somebody like that
(01:05):
who maybe wasn't the nicest to you, and then they
realize after the fact, Oh my god, I didn't realize
how much better it was with you until afterwards. And
now it's too late because you've moved on, or you've
gone in a different direction, or who knows, maybe they
look like crap now, Like, that's always a possibility. And
for those of you that are offended by that, tough balls,
I don't know what to tell you. That's a reality
(01:26):
in life. Some people go uphill, some people go downhill,
some people stay the same, all right, But point being,
there are these times where you realize when it's too late. Oops.
Kind of had a good thing. I was getting a
kick out of watching the Big Neon Boys, as I
call them. That's the Big Neon Kickoff crew. Rob Stone,
(01:48):
Reggie Bush, Matt Liner, Urban Meyer. Who's the other guy.
What's the other guy's name, what's his name? Never Brody
Brew Bryant, Yeah, that guy, Brady Quinn. And I'm watching
those guys and all of a sudden, Rob Stone because
they're in Lincoln, Nebraska where Oklahoma was playing Nebraska right now,
(02:11):
and rob Stone like gets the crowd pumped up because
the crowd's all cheering for urban Meyer because you know.
I don't know if you know there's or not, but
Nebraska fired their head coach, you know, because they realized
three games into the season, now we need to fire him.
I mean, at that point, why didn't you just do
it in the off season? It took three more weeks
of mediocre football for you to realize we gotta make
(02:32):
a change. It took it took three weeks. I mean,
at that point, just do it in the off season.
I remember when the Bengals pulled this crap. The Bengals
a couple of years ago after Week two fired their
offensive coordinator Bill Laser. They fired their o C two
weeks into the season. And the best part is they
(02:54):
fired him after a Thursday night game in Week two.
So the Cincinnati Bengals only needed ten days to realize
we gotta make a change in o C. Why didn't
you just do it in the off season? Like another
another ten days was really the deal a breaker? Hey,
whatever you do, don't suck ten days into the season
(03:16):
or else you're gonna get clipped. Dude, just get rid
of me in the off season. Let me go and
enjoy my life. Let me let go find work elsewhere.
It's kind of the same thing with Scott Frost and Nebraska.
They fire him because well, we realized we need to
make a change. Your three weeks in and one of
those games was in Ireland, Okay, like thanks for the
free trip, appreciate the Guinness. All right, it was fun
(03:39):
trying you know, some proper twelve at Connor McGregor's new
bar that he opened up. But for Christ's sake, three
weeks in, they've already made a change. So Nebraska has
made this change. So now we're up to be it
on all that listen, which is ironic coming from Vince
wi Man right now, that that that that you know,
the irony in that is is is running thick here.
(04:01):
But Nebraska makes this change. They fire urban Meyer. Are
they not urban Meyer? They fire you know, they make
this change at Scott Frost, he's got to go. Now
they're channing for urban Meyer because Rob Stones all hyping
them up and Rob Stones getting everybody excited, the crowds
channing for urban Meyer. They're walking around with this little
corn Husker hat on. It's like the you know in
(04:22):
lambeau Field where they were the the styrofoam cheese, which
I'm telling you if there's a nuclear war, the styrofoam
cheese are going to be remaining them and cockroaches will
be the only two things. I'm not eating anything. It's
not and it doesn't look good. So they're walking around
with like this little like corn Husker hat on, and
don't worry about it. If people in Nebraska are getting
(04:44):
offended by this, they're they're watching the game. They're not
listening to this right now, So we can just bludge
in Nebraska if we want to. I mean, this is
nobody there's listening right like nobody Nebraska is listening because
they actually are holding out hope that their team is
going to win today. Now. Never remind the fact that
they're down by twenty eight and half. Never mind that
(05:05):
it's a capacity crowd there in Lincoln. So Rob Stone's
getting the crowd excited. Everybody's fired up because urban meyers
there and they're chanting, we want urban, we want urban,
we want So I just I have a question, all right,
and this is you know, I'm not asking Nebraska fans
because they're not listening, but I just have a question.
(05:25):
If you were struggling as a football program, and I
told you and and by struggling. I mean, winning three
games a year, peaking at four in the polls early
in the season. All right, and this has been going
on four years. Like, imagine the last five years or so,
(05:46):
the best performance for you as a program is a
five win season. If I were to tell you, right,
and I were to throw out to you, hey, here's
what we're gonna do. We're gonna bring in a head coach.
All right, Now, you're not gonna win any Nash titles
in Nebraska, but we're going to promise you every single
(06:06):
season you're winning at least nine games. You're also gonna
have a couple of ten win seasons there. You're gonna
go to a bowl game every year. You're gonna win
some of these bowl games. Like if I were to
tell you, as a fan of a football team that
has stunk out loud for five or six years, I
could get you nine or ten wins a season every
(06:27):
single year. No national titles, but nine or ten wins
a year every single year. Would you not sign up
for that? Of course you would. Of course you would.
Who wouldn't sign up for it? So you mean to
tell me we're gonna triple our win total? If we
make a change of coach, absolutely, okay, because you had
(06:50):
that with bow Polini and that wasn't good enough. Okay,
bow Polini was winning nine and ten games a year,
dude was forty games over five? D forty games over five?
Is a coach at Nebraska winning nine and ten games
a year going to bowl games? Yeah? They never won
a national title, but you know they were at one
(07:12):
point they were they they you know, were were fifth
in the polls, in the in the top twenty five. Like,
you never got to national title status, but you were
winning double digit games a year with bo Polini and
that wasn't good enough. And do you want to know
what the logic was when bo Polini was fired? The
(07:34):
a D at the time said something along the lines of,
we weren't winning the games that counted. What about any
games at all? Why don't we try that on per size?
How about let's just win some games period. Well, you know,
we're not beating the Ohio States, and we're not beating
(07:56):
You're probably not going to there's a reality in college football.
You're going to get to a certain point, but you're
probably not going to get to the upper echelon if
you've noticed there are a select group of teams that
seemingly finished near the top. If I were to tell
you just right off the bat, Hey, so the college
(08:17):
football Playoff is coming up, and I want to tell
you that Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, and Ohio State are going
to be in the College Football Playoff? Would that surprise anybody?
Absolutely not? And you want to know why because it
seems like we've seen it every single year. So if
you're a Nebraska fan and you're at this game right
now and you're chanting, we want Urban Meyer, do you
(08:40):
actually think that Urban Meyer is looking at Nebraska as
a viable option knowing that nine or ten wins this
season isn't good enough, and you're thinking, well, I mean
that was it wasn't that long ago, Like Bopolini was
there for a good amount of time, and it wasn't
(09:01):
that long ago that you decided that wasn't good enough.
We gotta make a change. You higher Mike Riley. Mike
Riley has one season where they went they go nine
and four. Other than that that didn't go well, you decide, Okay,
we're gonna bring in Scott Frost. We're gonna bring in
a guy who knows this program inside and out. A
guy who was a star at this program. We're gonna
(09:22):
bring in Scott Frost. You bring him in. He's struggling.
He tried to tell everybody, tried to tell everybody you
were farther off than you realized. He tried to let
everybody know. At one point a couple of years ago,
after like one week they were twenty four in the country,
all of a sudden, they popped up on the polls,
and I remember having a conversation with Petro's Papadakis, and
(09:45):
Petro's was interviewing Scott Frost because he was calling a
Nebraska game, and Scott Frost said to him, Yeah, you know,
I think people are kind of rushing this a little bit, like,
let's slow down on the expectations. He realized are a
lot farther off than we are than than anybody actually recognizes,
a lot farther off. And so when I'm watching them
(10:08):
roll out the red carpet and ball wash urban Meyer
while he's doing the pregame show from Lincoln, I'm thinking
to myself, you had success, and you craped it away.
It was there, it was yours. You had it yet
Urban Meyer pops up, and all of a sudden you
(10:29):
got Nebraska fans going, we want urban dude, you had
bo that wasn't good enough. Guy never had a losing season.
He never had a losing season, but that wasn't good enough.
So again, friendly reminder, be careful what you wish for
and appreciate the things that you got, because all of
a sudden you're looking around going, we didn't realize how
(10:54):
good we had it at a time that we probably
should have realized how good we had it. And now
you've learned through one of your most beloved players that's gone.
You've tarnished that relationship Scott Frost in Nebraska, that will
never be the same. If I were Scott Frost, I'd
never go back. I would just simply take the buy
(11:14):
out and say, Okay, we're gonna go somewhere else where.
You guys feel like going, I don't know, Let's let's
go to Tijuana. Let's just get out of town. Let's
go to Tijuana. Let's buy some beach front property for
like fourteen cents, and let's get away from Lincoln because
we weren't good enough, just like Mike Riley wasn't good enough.
Just like Bo Polini wasn't good enough Bill Callahan before him.
If I'm Urban Meyer, I want nothing to do with
(11:35):
that gig. You gotta show me that you're a gonna
be patient and be going to actually appreciate a nine
or a ten win season with the realization we're probably
not winning a national title. Here, Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio,

show here on FM. Coming next though, Uh there is uh,
there's somebody in the NFL that's kind of getting a
bad rap, all right, kind of getting a little bit
of a bad rap. And if you just think back
long enough, we've seen this play out exact lead the
same way with two quarterbacks. We'll tell you what it

the tire rack dot Com studios coming up in we'll
(14:07):
call it a little over ten minutes from now. It's
a blast from the past in college football, a blast
from the past, and things have definitely changed. For one program,
we will get into that here again a little over
ten minutes from now here on fs are. By the way,
mud Veine was the song coming back. That's one of
the great band names of all time. Like, how do
(14:28):
you think they came up with that? Hey, what do
you want to do for a band name? I don't
know how about mud vein that works? Like how would
you ever get mud in your veins? You know what
I mean? Very very strange how some of this stuff
is put together. But nonetheless, we appreciate. It's a great name.
Mud Vein is a great name. I mean, that song
(14:49):
kind of stinks, but it listened. Great band name. I've
seen mud Veine live and uh yeah, very quality performance.
Can you imagine mud flowing through your veins? I can't,
you know what I realized though, looking back on that concert.
It was at the Great Western Forum and or what
they called that? Is it called the Fabulous Form? Now?
Is that the new name? Whatever it is, it's it's lame.
(15:11):
But I remember being at that show and it was
mud Vein, Ramstein, Slipknot system of a town, and I
think I was the only person they're not wearing a
black T shirt like they're like. It was basically, if
you've ever been to a hot topic, imagine fifteen thousand
(15:31):
of that inside a stadium, and that is what we're
looking at there. So I'm glad we bring back a
little blasts from the past as far as music goes.
A mud Vein conversation making its appearance here on sports radio.
Sure that's gonna please people upstairs. All right, Jonas knocks
here on fs ARE, So let's get into this. There's
a quarterback in the NFL who I think is being
(15:52):
viewed completely the wrong way, completely the wrong way to
a tongue of blaa. Who is the starting quarterback for
your Miami Dolphins, the one in oh Miami Dolphins who
basically just were in cruise control after about the first quarter,
seemingly against the Patriots in Week one, the two a
tog of byloa played played pretty well. I mean he's
(16:12):
got some weapons around him. You know, he's got you
got tyree Kill talking about his head coach having to
carry his nuts and a wheelbarrel. I mean that's always fun.
You can tell you you did well week one when
you've got one of your star players talking about your
testicles and a wheelbarrel after the game, that should be
the barometer. How did you coach? I don't know. Did
some guy talk about my uh in my nads being
(16:34):
in a wheelbarrel? Yeah he does apparently. And heavy So
you you put on this everybody everybody's playing well, Thank you, Mike,
U take out your mouthpiece first before you talk. So
you got you got everybody talking about, you know, Mike McDaniel,
and you've got to a tug of bloah winning a game.
And so then Ryan Fitzpatrick goes on a podcast. He's
(16:56):
on with Pardon My Take, very successful podcast from the
bars Wool Family and Ryan Fitzpatrick. When he got done
crying about Tom Brady not shaking his hand, he was,
you know, giving a critique on to us, saying, what
does he do that special? You know that's that's really
going to be the difference. Is he one of these
top ten guys. You've got Sean Payton, former Saints head coach,
coming out talking about that he thinks there's gonna be
(17:19):
another quarterback who's going to get an opportunity to play there.
He's talking about Teddy Bridgewater, his former quarterback, and so
they're kind of critiquing to uh and basically saying what
a lot of people have said, he doesn't do anything
really that special. There are limitations. He's not one of
these other guys. To himself, gave a very honest critique,
(17:39):
a very upfront, honest assessment of his limitations. Listened to
the Dolphins quarterback talking to the media this week. For me,
if I, for for instance, if we have a slant
and we have like an over the ball player and
like another player in the alley in a flat, for me,
I can't see because I'm not the big guy out there.
(18:01):
So if I can't see you, you can't see me.
I can't get you the ball. Uh, and like spacing
with the guys. So if you can't see me, get
somewhere to where you can't see me, then I can
see you. Then I can hit you. So I heard
some people after he said, by the way, brutally honest,
calling it like it is. I'm not the biggest guy
(18:22):
in the world. I can't see you at times, brutally honest.
And I saw some people on social media saying, well,
this is bad news if you're a Dolphins fan. It's
only bad news if you have an expectation level and
a comparison level that is never going to be met
(18:43):
when it comes to your quarterback. Here's the reality to
a had the misfortune of going in the same draft
class as Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, and he went
before Justin Herbert. He's never for going to live up
to that level Justin Herbert. If you can't tell by
(19:05):
watching Thursday night football, he's one of the elites. The
Chargers hit a home run by getting Justin Herbert Joe Burrow.
If you haven't figured out yet that guy special. He
does things differently. There's a reason he went number one overall.
So you've you're you're making a comparison because he's in
(19:27):
the same draft class as Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert,
who are guys that are looking at fifty million dollar
a year contracts when their time comes up to get
a deal done. Like that's part of the speculation. Why
did the Bengals give out naming rights to their stadium
because they need to bring in a little bit extra
(19:47):
cash so they can afford their quarterback when he comes
up for a deal. The Chargers are going to pay
a massive sum for Justin Herbert. Probably part of the
reason why they went out and loaded up on defense
and made all the move is that they made realizing,
while we have this guy in his rookie deal, let's
go chase the super Bowl because we know we got
the quarterback. He's not going anywhere so for the next
(20:09):
ten to twelve years all health health being obviously a factor,
but if these guys stay healthy for the next ten
to twelve years, you're looking at two of the top
quarterbacks in the NFL, and you can write it in
ink that's a rap. They got it. Those are franchise quarterbacks.
Two is being compared to them, and you're looking at
(20:30):
it the wrong way. Here's how I would make a
comparison if you if you want to do something in
recent history. Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, same draft class. Alex
Smith was never the quarterback Aaron Rodgers was. Ever, He
never won the Super Bowl, he never was an m
(20:52):
v P, he never led the league in this, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
But Alex Smith was a good NFL quarterback. But people
forget when finally the forty Niners settled down because it
was absolute chaos the first portion of his career. There,
when they finally settled down and they brought in Jim
(21:13):
Harbaugh and they said, hey, do something with him, Alex
Smith was fantastic. Turned around his career. They were an
overtime away from going to the Super Bowl. They lost
the NFC title game to the Giants in overtime. They
were on the doorstep of going to a super Bowl.
(21:34):
And then he suffered the concussion. And then Colin Kaepernick
came in and the forty Niners realized we're gonna go
with the young guy. Alex smiths coming up on a deal.
We're gonna go in this direction. Let's move on, and
let's let's just go with Colin Kaepernick. So they trade
him to Kansas City. You look at when he got
to Kansas City, look at the previous years in casey,
(21:55):
and then look at what happened after Alex Smith and
Andy Reid got together in Kansas City, night and a
absolute night and day like. People give Patrick Mahomes the
credit for being the face of the franchise and getting
them a Super Bowl and getting them to all these
conference championship games and getting him to another Super Bowl.
People forget it was Alex Smith who ushered in the
(22:16):
new era. He was great. And what happened. They traded
him to wait a way to Washington, and what did
Washington do? Signed him to an extension immediately, And by
the time he was injured and had his leg almost
ripped off his body, Alex Smith had the Washington football
team or Commandos or whatever the hell they're calling him nowadays.
(22:38):
They were in first place at the time of his injury.
He was playing great, they were in first place. There's
nothing wrong with being Alex Smith. The problem is nobody
wants to acknowledge that that's the most fair comp and
all this all they want to do is look at well,
but they got Justin Herbert and they got Joe Burr
(23:00):
row Nate. Nobody else in the league has those guys
except for maybe Kansas City and Buffalo and a couple
of others. So you find yourself in a in a
group of about twenty five teams in the league that
look at the Chargers and the Bengals and say, damn,
we wish we had them. You don't, but there's nothing
(23:20):
wrong with what you got. There's nothing wrong with having
Alex Smith. So if you're if you're comparing to uh
to some of these other guys in his draft class,
you're wasting your time. The real comp is go back
to two thousand five and look at that draft class.
You had Aaron Rodgers, who's an all teimer, who went
(23:40):
well behind Alex Smith. But there's nothing wrong with being
Alex Smith. And if you're the Dolphins and you and
you get Alex Smith's career at quarterback with two especially
when Alex Smith was got everything stable final years in
San Francisco and his years in Casey, I'm telling you, man,
you could do a lot worse than the position. So
the idea that the Dolphins are flawed because of their quarterback,
(24:03):
come on, that's not a fair comp Jonas Knocks 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 apps.
So coming up next, it is a blast from the
past in the world of college football, but not a
not a pleasant one at this point in time. So
we will get to that here coming up momentarily. But
for all the latest from around the world of sports,
(24:24):
I present to you monsy ma jonahs. It's just so good.
I don't work on the timing though, I think at
the timing down. Yeah, I don't know how this isn't
just played everywhere I go as I like walk in,
it's like so perfect. This is what we need to do.
When I throw to it, I'll go, Sam, can we
(24:45):
start the music over again? I did? We gotta work this?
Yeah yeah, Moncy, go saym hit it Moncy. It is
with us. What's happening bye? By the way, For those
of you that we're wanting to know who was going
(25:07):
to be the next person to reinvent breakfast. Monty's got
you covered was Taco Bell? Okay, Hold on a second.
I don't know anybody on planet Earth that orders a
bean burrito at six in the morning. Hold on a second,
you I mean, wait, explain to the people. I went
(25:28):
into the drive through of Taco Bell around five am
and they were not serving breakfast yet, which doesn't make
any sense, absolutely no sense. All I wanted was a
hash brown people, that's all. Is that too much to
ask for? And they were like, we don't have breakfast
until six, so then what are we doing? Why are
we open? It is a little odd. By the way,
(25:50):
if you're if you're drinking until five in the morning
and you're going to Taco Bells drive through, we got
problems right right. You probably go to bed exactly like
this isn't one thirty in the morning, you know, it's
it was like five, TI, we don't have breakfast till six. Well,
it's very strange. We we've messed this one up, ma'am.
What do you definitely have screwed up. But but the
(26:11):
fact that you just wore it and said, all right,
it is what it is, It is what it is.
I'll take a bean and cheesebury don't know onion and
a spicy potato soft taco. By the way, what time
did you end up eating those? Um? Like seven? Like seven? Yeah?
I held on. It was so weird. I was like,
I can't and I love rice and beans Latina, so
I can eat beans all day. But I was like,
I'm gonna seven o'clock seems appropriate. The first the first
(26:36):
food to enter your body at seven in the morning
on Mexican Independence Day is a bean burrito and a
potato taco. Good for you. Listen, no no regrets, no regrets,
not even one. That's great. That is great. All right,
Let's do a little college football like the Bulldogs who
are just crushing South Carolina Stetson Bennett has has thrown
(26:58):
for two fo yards and just a couple of minutes
ago he had like a little shimmy eleven yard rushing touchdown.
He is killing it. We also got the Huskies taken
on the Wolverines and Michigan is also just crushing forty
five to zero with about four and a half minutes
left in the third period. But here's the thing, Blake,
(27:19):
core Um, I want to say, core Um, Blake core Um.
He's a running back. Five rushing touchdowns, five rushing touchdowns,
I mean, oh my goodness. And then we also, of
course Scott Kentucky number nine, Kentucky taking on young'stown State,
which I couldn't say about twenty minutes ago, War twenty
eight to zero. They're about to start the fourth quarter.
Baylor is up on Texas State twenty to seven. They're
(27:42):
also about to start the fourth quarter. Nebraska Oklahoma. Oklahoma
is up forty nine to seven, nine minutes left in
the third quarter. You were talking about Nebraska. Yeah, there's
people wearing shirts that are saying higher urban Meyers. So
they're not just chanting it, they're wearing it. They're wearing
the shirts. They're red. So I I think the message
(28:02):
is clear. Are they wearing the corn hat to are
they wearing that little that little get up or they
got the corn? Now Here's here's the problem, all right.
It's it's like a sombrero. Al right, So my so okay,
I explain, all right, because that's sounded weird. Al right.
So I bought a a a a huge sombrero when
(28:24):
I was at the Cancun airport because Cancun was such
a dump that I needed to walk away with something worthwhile.
Signed up buying the sombrero and it's awesome and it
was like twenty bucks, and I try and wear it
as often as possible. The problem is it's so large
that all you'd end up doing it is I I
hit my head on stuff when I'm walking through doorways.
(28:45):
It's it's very it's very awkward to wear. If you're
if you're gonna have a corn husker hat, couldn't you
do something better than a giant foam piece of corn
that goes lengthwise. It looks like you're wearing a canoe
on your head, right, No, No, ridiculous, Just as ridiculous
as you would look in a sombrero. So when you
got a goal, throw that away, throw into the sky.
(29:10):
But like, don't get it back. We do got two
baseball games going on, and I am on Albert Poople's watch.
That is what I care about. Jonas and you know what,
six and the stupid Reds have walked him twice. Stop
it right now. But the Cardinals are up five zero
on the Red top of the fourth inning. Cleveland is
up four zero on Minnesota fifth inning, and a little
(29:32):
bit tiny tiny little bit of NFL and he's just
a little bit. The Cowboys have signed new starting quarterback
Cooper Rushed to the fifty three man roster, Thank you,
Nicolets have elevated kicker Chase McLaughlin from the practice squad,
so he's gonna handle the kicking duties tomorrow against the Jaguars,
but they have ruled out wide receiver Michael Pittman because
(29:54):
of his quad injury that he suffered during practice earlier
in the week. Back to you, Jonas, Thank you, Monter,
some most thank you, by the way, Jerry Jones joining
us from our affiliate in Jalisco. Jerry, your thoughts on
the season so far, Mexico, So Mexico, j j Jerry
(30:14):
your your thoughts, your thoughts on Moncy getting a bean
burrito at seven in the morning on Mexican Independence Day,
and remember some most thank you, Thank you sir. A
little bit so kind of Jerry Jones to join us
here Saturday. Um all right. By the way, Elijah, who's
our he puts together all the fantastic videos for Fox
(30:35):
Sports Radio. He just tweeted something to me saying racist.
There's nothing racist about me buying a sombrero. I wanted
a sombrero, uh the late there's nothing, there's nothing racist
about it. Things great, it's fantastic. I think I actually
wore it doing a show with Dan Buyer one time
because we were They wanted to do the show via
(30:57):
video during the pandemic when everybody was working from home,
and so I tried wearing it. The problem was I
couldn't get my headset over the sombrero. Thank you, Dan.
Could you imagine Joe Davis saying that right now, though
everyone throw your sombrero in the you get canceled. Canceled
by the way, we've got ourselves. This is a a
(31:20):
double up situation here for anybody that's wondering why the
Fox game sounds a little bit different, And it's not
because Nebraska finally scored. But if anybody or that Nebraska
is down by forty two instead of fifty two, anybody
that that is tuning into the game on Fox, apparently
Gus Johnson is feeling under the weather, so he is
(31:40):
stepping aside. So you're broadcasting team in the booth on
Fox right now is Joel Klatt, Brady Quinn, and Urban Meyer.
So uh so there it is half fun with it.
You know I'm gonna do I'm I'm gonna start I'm
gonna start calling that was that. I'm gonna start calling
Brady just to see if I can throw him off
(32:02):
while he's trying to call this game, just to bust
his balls. Do you think they quickly disinfected the booth first? Though?
For COVID, I don't know that's a good point. If
this is COVID, I think they'd cancel the game. They
would probably cancel the game and and ask us somebody
from Perel to send in like like five paint can
size of sanitizers to make sure everybody was safe. But apparently, yeah,
(32:24):
it's not over yet. I mean it basically is. By
the way, speaking of games that are over, South Carolina's
trailing by forty five at home against Georgia. I went
to this game, not that not that many years ago.
I went to a Georgia South Carolina game, and not
only did South Carolina win, they actually scored points. So
apparently things have changed there in Columbia South Carolina, because
(32:47):
my god, they look awful with Georgia, uh rich eyes
and kind enough to join us here. It is a
Hodgepodge of guests so far here, which is gonna play
out ironically towards the end of the show when you
hear a story we got for you, Rich Eyes and
joining us here. Uh, Rich, thanks so much for your time.
How many points does South Carolina have so far? Thank you?
(33:08):
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas That was longer than
the Canelo interview even go there. The wounds are still
fresh on that, al right, So man, I can't wait
to tell that story. All right it is uh, give
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas
(33:30):
Knocks on Twitter. As we come to you live here
from the Tirac dot Com studios. All right's coming up
next We're going to have another edition of do You Care?
Uh it is things in the world of sports and
beyond that have been a major topic of conversation. We're
going to tell you how much you should give a
crap about all these stories. We're gonna be a little
bit negative with you here on a Saturday. Who doesn't
like that? It's yours? Coming up next year on fs
are Dave on Mexico. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio coming
(33:55):
up top of next hour called a little over ten
minutes from now here from the entire rack dot Com studios,
the Week two edition of Knox Locks. Kind of a
rough go to start off the season. Not awful, but
not our best work. But we will have a week
two edition of Knox Locks for you here coming up
a little over ten minutes from now here on fs
are right now, though, it is time to have a
(34:16):
little bit of fun. Because who doesn't like to break
balls and be a little negative on a Saturday? Huh?
Who doesn't like to do that? It's time for another
edition of this. There's so many stories in the world
of sports, and most of them are a complete waste
of time. DMZ reports, Let's get kinky. Here's some of
the big stories from the last week. But Jonas, the
(34:37):
real question is we turn it over to the man
with the best pipes in all of radio. I present
to you, Danny, g Danny. What's happening alright? Von Miller said,
Lamar Jackson cannot settle for less than Deshaun Watson's contract.
Do you care? No, I don't listen. I'm Lamar. Lamar
held true to his word. He said I'm not talking
(35:00):
about contract after the season starts. I just want to
focus on these games. And he's gonna bet on himself
and who knows, maybe he'll pull a Joe Flacco and
end up winning a Super Bowl and get paid afterwards.
But the conversation, to me is a dead issue. They're
not going to give him that type of guaranteed money
at this point in time. If that's what he's seeking,
I don't think they're getting anything done next alright, Friend
of the Program, Candello and Triple G will more on
(35:24):
that later. We'll complete their trilogy when they meet this
evening at T Mobile Arena there in Las Vegas. Do
you give a rat's ass? I do, man, listen, I
love Anybody that knows me knows I love the UFC
and boxing. I grew up on those. That was kind
of the family tradition. You know. We couldn't big family,
wasn't like we could afford to go to movies or
(35:44):
dinners or anything. But we always made sure that we
paid for HBO Like that was always because we wanted
to watch Saturday night boxing. Now I will say this, no,
Jim Lampley has really put a damper on the sport,
and I'm not being a smartass. That is a real thing.
He's the greatest boxing announced are of all time. I
don't want to hear anybody argue otherwise. Jim Lampley is
the best. Not having him call these fights is a
(36:06):
little bit of a bummer. But these are two of
the all time greats, two of the best, maybe the
two best of this era, and they're going at it
for a third time. It maybe a little bit past
their primes, but I'm looking forward to it alright. Alvin
Kamara and a bunch of key players on both sides
of the Saints and Bucks are listed as questionable ahead
of tomorrow's divisional matchup. Do you care? No, I don't listen.
(36:28):
What is interesting about this and who knows? Maybe this
is a little bit of a sneak peek for Knox locks.
The fact that Tom Brady can't beat this team since
he's been in Tampa outside of the playoff game, and
these games haven't been close. New Orleans has owned them.
I'm curious to see how it plays out. But to me,
there's a couple of injuries that are big stories around
(36:49):
the league. At this point in time. I think we
all know what those are. I don't think this one
really matches up. Next. Rams kicker Matt Gay fired back
at the NFL in response to a five thousand dollar
fine for improper pant length. He treated some humorous pictures
rocking baggy long pants to troll their decision. Do you care? Yeah?
(37:09):
I do, because I don't understands got these weird rules
where you have to have your socks pulled up a
certain way. Like I've heard stories about there's one guy
who walks around on the field to try and monitor everybody.
He's like the snitch like he's he's like like the
you know the hall cop that's like roaming the halls
in high school campus supervisor. Yeah, Like, dude, like when
(37:31):
this guy walking around, Yeah, we do. And he's just
walking around busting people because of uniform in fractions dress
over dresses. Five thousand dollars Like to an NFL player,
who cares? But five thousand dollars because your pants are
the right way, especially for a kicker rats about a
(37:51):
kickers pants. It's it's ridiculous. Remember the Remember the old
Rams kicker who didn't wear a shoe? Would he could
find these days? Remember that guy? I forget his name.
There was a ram kicker you can look it up,
who didn't wear a shoe when he would when he
would kick field goals. And uh, and I wonder if
you would get fined? All right? Next, really beautiful feat
Thank you Rex. Someone apparently leaked a video of tray
(38:13):
Lance getting over the Week one loss by making it
rain on some strippers. Do you care, well, I don't
care that tray Lance was hanging out with strippers after
the game. What I do care about is it's real
funny how Jimmy Garoppolo got buried alive for going out
to dinner with a porn star. Yet this guy's dropping
(38:35):
a hundred dollar bills on on some women, some woman
in a g string at some party somewhere, and nobody
seems to be making the same comparisons between the two.
It's just it's funny. A guy goes out to dinner,
another guy you know, hangs out with strippers, and and
all of a sudden, we forget, you know, recent history
when it comes to the criticism of these quarterbacks. Strange,
hypocritical much, Yes, it's it's it's pretty ridiculous. Next, alright,
(38:59):
finally at the d panel, it was confirmed that the
June movie will be titled just Indiana Jones, not Indiana
Jones five. Harrison Ford hinted it could be his last
Dr Jones film. He got very emotional as he addressed
those in attendance. Do you care? No, come on, I
(39:22):
get it, But you want to know when I was
out on Indiana Jones when they started eating monkey brains,
remember that saying they started eating like monkey brains, like
they opened up this monkey's head and started eating his brains.
But with Indiana Jones three, that was a classic. Okay,
but but try try trying to eat a microwave Tina's
(39:43):
burrito when you're a kid, and then you watch them
eat monkey brains and you look down at your burrito
and you go, I can't do this, Like it's bad
enough for eating microwave burritos because you remember at the supermarket, Danny,
they would be like three for a dollar. They're great.
I think they're probably still the same price, and yet
this guy's eating, uh, you know, a soup brains out
(40:04):
of some monkey skull. Like, I'm sorry, man, I was
out after that. Indiana Jones seven or not? You meddling
with powers? You cannot possibly comprehend. So not the best
performance after one week of the season for somebody in
the world of sports and beyond. But we're hoping to
rebound nicely from that. We'll get into that coming up
(40:25):
here 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 listen to us on hundreds of affiliates all across
the country and wherever the hell you are making us
a part of your Saturday afternoon. We appreciate you doing so.
We're gonna take you all the way up until four
pm Eastern time one o'clock Pacific through the rest of
(40:46):
the hour here on fs ARE, and we do it
all live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Ti
irac dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road has protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installs. Tire act dot com the way tire
buying should be. So the developing situation in the world
of college football, there is no Gus Johnson calling the
(41:09):
game for Oklahoma and Nebraska on Fox. He was under
the weather, so he had to leave the booth. Instead
you're getting the three man group of Joel Klatt, Brady Quinn,
and Urban Meyer. And it's it's a little bit ironic, which,
by the way, Brady's called a ton of games before,
so you know that there's no issue there. He does
(41:31):
a fantastic job, loves doing it too. But it's you know,
when when you've got the fans chanting for urban Meyer
at Nebraska and then kicking the tires on potentially hiring
urban Meyer. Um, he's getting a real up close look
at what Nebraska football looks like. And it's not good.
(41:51):
It is not good whatsoever. They are getting blowtorched at
home by Oklahoma. It is seven. But there is some hope,
all right, there is some positive news to come out
of all this. Um. You know, if I were in Nebraska,
I would take on you know, the I call it
the a w n S, all right, I called the
(42:14):
a w N S. It's at least we're not South
Carolina because South Carolina is currently getting hammered by Georgia
forty eight to nothing. So, uh, if you're if you're
you know, a Nebraska fan and you're looking for some optimism,
if you've already left the game. It doesn't appear like
anybody's left the game there in Lincoln. If you've already
left the game and you are driving home and you're
(42:37):
looking for an escape, just turned on the South Carolina
game right now as they are getting mutilated by number
one Georgia at home forty eight to nothing. And I
don't even think it's that close. So there is some
positivity there for for Nebraska fans if they're trying to
find a ray of sunshine through the dark clouds that
are the two football season. Jonas Knox here on FSR,
(42:59):
let me just all to say this. We've got obviously
a bunch of NFL games coming up tomorrow Week two
already in full swing. Uh. Piece of advice for the NFL, alright,
piece of advice for the NFL, and then some doom
and gloom for a couple of teams. Here's a piece
of advice. I would schedule Chargers Chiefs in prime time
(43:20):
at some point during the season every single year for
the next ten years. Just go ahead and pencil that in.
If you're the schedule makers and you've got a lot
of work and you are tasked with putting together a
lot of a lot of stuff when it comes to well,
we've got to make sure that we've got enough road
games here, and we've gotta make sure we gotta you know,
conference you know conference match up here, and then we've
(43:43):
got a you know, a Super Bowl matchup rematch here,
and whatever you do, let me just go ahead and
make it easy for you. Pencil in Chargers Chiefs in
prime time at least once every single year, because that
is a phenomenal matchup and we'll continue to be for
the next ten years. Like you, just look at the
way that played out, the way those two teams have
(44:05):
matched up, whether it's in Kansas City or on the
road in l A. If you're the Chargers, wherever you're at,
the NFL should put those two teams and those two
quarterbacks on display for the next ten years. Because there
was a conversation a couple of years ago, not that
far back, when people started talking about the age of
some of these quarterbacks, and they were looking at guys
like Breeze and Roethlisberger and Eli Manning and Philip Rivers
(44:29):
and some of these guys that have retired recently. Aaron
Rodgers is up there in age. Tom Brady's up there
in age. Is the NFL going to be okay and
be able to survive when it comes to quarterback play?
After these guys walk out the door, They're in good shape.
The NFL is fine. You got a bunch of guys
in their early to mid twenties who are already superstars.
You saw it play out again on Thursday night. So
(44:51):
if I were the NFL moving forward, go ahead and
make that match up a primetime game every single year. Also,
I would like to say this, there is a big
matchup coming up tomorrow in the NFL. You got the
Bengals and the Cowboys Eastern Time. Um, whoever loses that game,
their season's over. It's over. In fact, I'll go I'll
(45:13):
tell you this right now. If Cincinnati loses that game,
they're not going to the playoffs. The Super Bowl hangover
thing will again be looked at as a real thing.
I don't see anyway Cincinnati loses their first two games
and gets to the playoffs. Now, I think Cincinnati is
gonna win that game. I think they're gonna win that
game pretty easily based on the injury situations in Dallas
(45:35):
and the fact that Dallas already one game into the season,
already knows that their season is probably over, and they
can try and spin it however they want. Dack's gonna
come back. We're looking at four weeks. He's gonna come
back early. We got better news than we had anticipated.
Even if he does come back, what condition is he
going to be in to throw a football? And even
when he was their Week one, they didn't look all
(45:56):
that hot. So this feels to me like a doom
and loom season for the Dallas Cowboys. There's a lot
of cowboy fans that listen to Fox Sports Radio. There's
a lot of cowboy fans period. I just want to
go ahead and get this out of the way ahead
of time so that you are aware your season's over.
It's over, so you don't have to worry about getting
all excited and getting all worked up watching some of
(46:18):
these games for the next two three months. Don't worry
about it. I'll tell you how it's gonna go. You're
gonna lose majority of them. It's over. And because of that,
there's gonna be massive changes there. And by massive changes,
I mean Mike McCarthy, who listen. I'm a bigger Mike
McCarthy fan than a lot of people. Mike McCarthy is
probably gonna get clipped. That's how that's gonna work, all right,
So let me just go ahead, let me kill the suspense.
(46:39):
That's how that's working when it comes to the Dallas
Cowboys in their season. Right now, though, it is time
for the week two edition of something we do on
the show, and it's called this Let's now, let's before
we go to the games this week, I would like
to apologize right to anybody that actually took the bets
(47:02):
last week. My fault, my fault that I thought the
New York Jets could be competitive at home against the
Baltimore Ravens. My fault I own that. I would like
to apologize for that completely. My fault. I screwed up.
For some reason, I thought, you know what, the Jets.
I'm feeling a little bit optimistic about the Jets. I
(47:23):
don't know why I felt that way. I was feeling
a little bit optimistic about those New York Jets. I thought, man,
they absolutely can stay competitive. Absolutely, the Jets can stay
competitive at home against the Baltimore Ravens. They could not.
I'd also like to apologize for my Arizona Cardinals pick
of plus six and a half. I thought they were
giving away money Week one against the Kansas City Chiefs.
(47:43):
I could not believe the line was at six and
a half. I told you first. In fact, I was
talking maybe betting money line on the Arizona Cardinals. My apologies,
they were terrible Week one, and now you've got some
back and forth, maybe potentially with the head coach and
his quarterback and who knows practice habits, et cetera, cetera.
I'd like to apologize for that, but I did tell
you the Bears getting a touchdown at home against the
(48:07):
forty Niners. That was a lock. I love that matchup
weather aside. I thought Chicago was gonna come in and
I thought they were gonna play pretty decent football. I
don't think that's what they're gonna be the entire year,
but that seemed to be like one of those Week
one sleeper matchups where I like the Bears, who I
think are a significantly worst team than the forty Niners
at home winning that game. But we're gonna look back
(48:28):
on it and go, well, they only finished with like
four or five wins, but we all remember Week one
and we got paid for it. So with that being said,
let's get to the first game this week, Buccaneers at Saints.
All right, so Bucks at Saints. I'm gonna use the
roulette rule that I have, right, This is a roulette rule.
Easy for me to say. Anybody that's ever walked through
a casino in Las Vegas, you've walked through and you
(48:50):
see the roulette wheel, or you walked through a casino anywhere.
You see this roulette board and they're telling you all
the numbers that have hit. And I don't know if
you're like me, but I do this every time. When
I see a roulette board that's hit on one color
red or black multiple times in a row. And I'm
talking by multiple, I mean like five or six or
seven in a row, I always go the opposite because
(49:12):
I think law of averages. If it's hit red that
many times in a row, of course it's gonna hit
black next. Now let me tell you what ends up happening.
I go over to the board, I put like five
or ten bucks on black. I usually lose. But I
have a rule and I live by these rules, and
I'm applying that rule here when it comes to the
(49:33):
Buccaneers and the Saints New Orleans has beat them six
straight times in the regular season. This isn't just a
Tom Brady thing. This is a Todd Bowls Bruce Arians thing.
Since they've gotten there, New Orleans has owned Tampa Bay
in the regular season. I think it's gonna go the
opposite color this time. I'm gonna bet on the Tampa
(49:54):
Bay Buccaneers minus the two and a half. Now, I
don't like the two and a half. This feels like
it's gonna be a closer game than that. Maybe Tampa
Bay wins by one or two, so the half point
I feel like it's gonna bite me in the ass
a little bit. But I look at this and I say,
how many times can Tom Brady and the new and
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with a better football team than
New Orleans lose to this team in the regular season.
(50:17):
I think it stops here. I like Tampa Bay minus
to two and a half. I think the Bucks get
it done on the road Commanders and Lions. I don't
understand this. I truly don't understand it. Why is Washington
getting points on the road at Detroit? You see this
from time to time during the course of an NFL season,
(50:38):
where you're looking at one of these lines and you go,
hold on a second, that's the line. Wait, wait, wait,
you mean to tell me their favorite, Nana. I ain't
buying it, and you go the other direction, and more
often than not, they know something we don't. Somebody somewhere
knows something we don't. When it comes to the Lions
(50:58):
and the Commanders, somebody somewhere knows because it doesn't make
sense that Detroit would be favorite at home. In fact,
it doesn't make sense Detroit be favorite at all. And
if you think I'm being negative when it comes to
the Lions, that's the truth. This is the first time
Detroit has been favored in a game since two thousand twenty.
We're looking at almost two years and this team has
(51:19):
never been favored in a football game. So you need
to tell me this is the week. And by the way,
last time Detroit was favored in a game against the
Carolina Panthers, they lost twenty to nothing to p J Walker,
who was the starting quarterback for Carolina. I'm not buying it, Listen.
I'm not one of these lazy a holes who comes
on the air and buries the Lions because it's the
(51:39):
easy thing to do, and it's low hanging fruit. I
don't pull the Oceananigans, but I'm gonna pull this one.
I like the Commanders. Plus one and a half on
the road doesn't make any sense to me. I'm taking
Washington Cardinals and Raiders. All right, I'm gonna go back
to the well. All right, I'm gonna go back to
the well. And want to know why this is preseason stubbornness.
(52:03):
I had the Arizona Cardinals winning their division. I thought
the Arizona Cardinals were gonna win the NFC West. People
thought I was crazy. What about the Ramsey just went
to a super Bowl? Not buying it? Well? What about
the forty Niners? They were just in the conference championship game?
Not buying it? Well? What about yeah, never mind, not
buying Seattle either. I bought totally into Arizona. And what
(52:25):
did Arizona due to pay me back? After I doubled
up and bet on them? In Week one? They came
out and defecated down the side of their leg in
the desert, only to have the opposing coach after winning
by twenty three, blaming the turf for injuries they had.
They had a defensive back kicking extra points and field
(52:45):
goals for the Kansas City Chiefs or extra but I
don't even know if he kicked the field goal. But
point being, they had a defensive back making kicks on
this team. It was not a good look. And then
you got Kyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury talking about practice
habits afterwards, and a little bit of a back and
forth in the media and all the other things that
come along with it. All that being said, it is
(53:05):
not look good for the Arizona Cardinals, which is why
I'm taking the Arizona Cardinals plus five and a half. Listen,
I know this seems like I'm going back to the
well way too many times. I refuse to believe that
my preseason prediction was that far off. I'm gonna take
the Cardinals getting that many points on the road against
the Raiders. Give me the Arizona Cardinals and that is
(53:28):
your week. To addition of Knox locks, which, by the way,
now I keep it going, keep it going. Yeah, yeah,
(53:49):
I'm gonna go in three. I just I I have
a feeling these are awful bets. Uh. If you are
not a believer in these picks, I don't blame you.
I probably wouldn't be either. But the best part it
is you can always fade me. And you wanna know
how you can fade me on Draft Kings sports Book

of the season in the NFL and that's all it
takes for opinions to be formed, all right, And and
(55:12):
it really it didn't even take a week. It took
like a few seconds, a few seconds, and that's all
it took for opinions to be formed. We will get
into that for you here coming up again in about
ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio. Congratulations
to the South Carolina game Cocks. Round of applause. As
a matter of fact, the South Carolina game Cocks have
(55:32):
done it, folks, if you're just tuning in, the South
Carolina Gamecocks have done it. A shocker in Colombia. They scored,
so South Carolina did score, but they still lose forty
eight to seven to the Georgia Bulldogs. So so that
game is just has just finished up. They are they
(55:55):
are closing the doors in Lincoln on the Nebraska Cornhusker
is by the way, the Nebraska Cornhuskers also known as
a bad football team. Uh, they are losing to Oklahoma fourteen.
They were they were ball washing Urban Meyer before the
game because they really want urban Meyer to be the
next head coach, and urban Meyer is now in the
(56:17):
booth calling the game alongside Brady Quinn and Joel Klatt
because Gus Johnson was feeling under the weather. So that
is your three man booth there. So if urban Meyer
is interested in the job, he's getting an up close
view at a defecation situation there in Lincoln. And they
are now winding the clock down and it is a rap.
Oklahoma sooners get it done over Nebraska. How about it?
(56:39):
Huh big time there from Nebraska. They're on their way,
all right. I would keep the explosions going. Because Mike Martz,
former NFL head coach, longtime coordinator in the National Football League,
Mike Marr it's not a huge fan of the performance
(57:03):
of Tray Lance after one week of the season. By
the way, if you're wondering why tray Lance was trending recently,
don't worry about it. After the loss to the Bears
in week one, Uh, Trey Lance was so distraught that
he was throwing cash on strippers at a house party.
But again, it's it's odd Jimmy Garoppolo goes on a
dinner date with a porn star, bad guy, bad look.
(57:26):
Tray Lance throws. Uh, you know, like a couple of
two dollar bills at some strippers at a party. And uh,
you know, I don't don't hear the same coverage of that.
I don't know why that is. It's very strange. But nonetheless,
here was Mike Mart's summing up the performance of Tray
Lance in Week one. This was courtesy at the thirty
third team. I want there, I want their eyeballs. Yeah,
I've never seen anything about this kid that was encouraging
(57:49):
at all. He really has to plant himself to make
a good throw. Uh, he's not quick decision guy. Everbody's
shot in the rear about him being a mobile guy
making plays with his feet. He looked like a fullback
stumbling around trying to run the ball. To me, I
mean he's not remark you know, so I don't know
what he is. He's not a particularly a good guy
running with the football. And based on what I saw today,
(58:12):
I mean he missed two guys completely by themselves. I
know it was in the rain, but your quarterbacks do that,
I mean when you make those throws. Um, I know this.
He can only go up, he can only get better,
because you can't get any worse. When he did today.
I've never liked him. I still don't like him. Um,
I don't know. I'd like to know what he does
(58:34):
so well because he's not a great passer, didn't have
good skills, takes a long time to set himself and
throw the football, and this is easy throws. He's in
particularly runner, a health player. It's my coarback. Other than that,
he's a hell of a player. I don't like him.
I've never liked him. It sounds like my ex good
(58:57):
Christ Mike Bart breaks up the blowtorch on on Trey
Lance apparently not a big fan. Not a big fan
of Tray Lance. The starting like just so calm about
it as well, too, well, the whole thing, like you
would think he was talking about me playing quarterback. Like
(59:21):
like if somebody were to talk about like, hey, so, so,
why did you give Iowa Sam the starting quarterback job
for the for the Hawkeyes, that would be the assessment
of it. That's as bad as it gets as far
as a former a guy who, by the way, who's
respected as an evaluator, a talent evaluator, respected as an
(59:43):
offensive mind. A lot of people have a lot of
great things to say about Mike Marts. The problem is
he doesn't have any great things to say about Trey Lance,
and in fact, he buried tray Lance so bad that
people got him confused and thought that he was also
talking about Justin Fields and he wasn't like the the
the the opinion coming out of his interview Mike Martz
(01:00:04):
was that he buried both Justin Fields and Trey Lance.
Mike Martz went on a Chicago radio station and said,
I wasn't talking about Justin Fields. That was all for
tray Lance, all of it. He said, I thought Justin
Fields actually played well considering the conditions. That was all
on trey Lance. So he buried him and again tray
(01:00:26):
Lance so distraught he needed to hang out with some strippers.
But here's the one thing that I would say, how
after one game and those conditions, is anybody ready to
make a solid opinion and evaluation on Trey Lance. Now?
I think Mike Martz is looking at other things. Maybe
(01:00:48):
he's looking at some of the tape from college. Maybe
he's looking at some of the tape last year. Maybe
he's looking at it, you know, his workouts, whatever it is.
I think that's where where Mike Martz is is viewing
and coming from when it comes to tray Land ats.
But did anybody see the conditions last week? Like anybody
to use last week as an indicator as to what
Trey Lance is going to be as a quarterback? I
(01:01:10):
don't get it. I don't understand how you view you
look at last week's game and come away with any
sort of opinion moving forward on Trey Lance that is
set in stone. Like I saw people saying, well, that's
why they held out to Jimmy Garoppolo. Hold on a
second after that, like who who would have played well
(01:01:31):
in those conditions? I can't believe both teams scored twenty
nine points. I mean it was like it was a monsoon.
And by the way, a monsoon in a dump. There's
a reason why the Bears are moving out of that place.
The only thing missing on the side of Soldier Field
(01:01:52):
is like the half crescent moon on the side of it,
it looks like an outhouse. Like me, it's it's a
it's a toilet. The only thing missing from Soldier Field
is I Clanton walking out of it with a newspaper
folded up under his arm, telling everybody not to go
in there for a few minutes place a dump and
(01:02:17):
they had a monsoon, and and and tray Lance struggled.
Who would have would have had success there? Who would
have played well? So look, I'm not saying this like
I'm the biggest tray Lance believer. I think Trey Lance
was option C for Kyle Shannon. I think Aaron Rodgers
(01:02:38):
was Option A. I think Mac Jones was Option B,
and then I think tray Lance was option C and
they got Options C. I like Jimmy Garoppolo a lot
more than a lot of people do as far as
the quarterback goes. I think Jimmy Garoppolo is a little
bit underrated, and I think some of the criticism is
a bit over the top. But when I watched this
(01:03:00):
situation planted in San Francisco, I don't know how you
come away with a solid opinion on tray lance after
last week. It was a disaster of a performance, and
I think in large part because the conditions were awful.
So look, I'm not I'm not a believer in tray lance,
but I don't know how anybody has any sort of
solid ground when it comes to critiquing where this is
(01:03:23):
going to go for the forty Niners this year after
last week, I'm at least gonna gi him a little
bit of a grace period. I mean, for Christ's sake.
He hasn't really played a lot of football in a
couple of years. He played one game during the COVID
year and then shut it down, and then he played
sparingly last year because of injury to Jimmy Garoppolo. I
just I think we gotta wait and see a little
bit on trade Lance Jonas knocks here on Fox Sports Radio,
(01:03:43):
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the
Jonas Knocks on Twitter, and you can hang out with
us as always on the I Heart Radio app. Right,
it's coming up next. It is funny how it took
only a matter of seconds for two opinions to be
formed in the NFL. We'll get into that for you
next year. On fs are but all the latest from
around the world of sports, I present to you moncyos Yes,
(01:04:08):
lamas well, you know we got some football going on
some By the way, can you just tell everybody on
the air you informed your family that this is now
the family theme song. It is the family theme song.
When yes, I said, mommy, I said this in Spanish,
and I was like, how did we not do this before?
What are we doing with our lives? We've completely dropped
(01:04:31):
the ball. This should be played at every family party.
What are we doing? It's so good, Like if you
ever become a professional wrestler, this is your entrance. Well,
you know that's my goal in life. And at WrestleMania
they need to bring out in Enrique to do it live.
I would love that. Stop it. We figured something out here.
I saw him live once and he was taking shots
(01:04:52):
with He opened for j LO one year and he
was taking shots with fans in in the audience, I mean,
and he looked, Yeah, he was wearing like a lot
of fans. He was wearing like a playing T shirt,
just like you Jonas, like a plane T shirt. Yeah, exactly. Well,
we do have more college football games that are going
(01:05:14):
to be coming up soon, like b y U and Oregon.
That's gonna be on Fox in any minute. But the
games that have already ended. Number One, Georgia took down
South Carolina forty eight to seven. Quarterbacks Stepson Bennett, who
he was taken out prior to the start of that
fourth quarter. He threw for two and eighty four yards,
had two touchdowns and in the eleven yard rushing touchdown.
(01:05:34):
Tight End Brock Bowers had two rushing touchdowns and one
receiving touchdown for the Bulldogs. Number four Michigan took on Yukon.
The final score on that one fifty nine to zero.
Wolverines running back Blake Coreum had five rushing touchdowns. Oklahoma
took on Nebraska. Final score there forty nine to fourteen.
Number nine Kentucky took on Young's Town and that score
(01:05:55):
was thirty one to zero. Wildcats quarterback Will Levis through
for three hundred and seventy seven yards, completing twenty seven
and thirty five passes, not too shabby for two touchdowns.
He did have two interceptions, but again, final score thirty
one zero, so who cares about those interceptions. Number seventeen
Baylor versus Texas State final score forty two to seven.
Bears running back Richard Reese had three rushing touchdowns. Some
(01:06:17):
players were fined in the in the NFL. Jonas like
my boy Stefan Biggs. He's in my fantasy league. So
my fantasy league's team is called girls just want to
stuff on? How do you like that? How do you
like that one, all right. He was fined ten thousand,
six hundred and nine dollars for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting
(01:06:40):
Jalen Ramsey of the Rams. Remember that long touchdown he
had in last week's over an opener. There was no
flag thrown, but he was fined over ten thousand dollars.
Bengals wide receiver Jamaar Chase received two fines, both for
unsportsmanlike conduct, the first one thirteen thousand, two hundred and
sixty one, the second ten thousand, six hundred and nine
magic just being fine this and be like okay, here
(01:07:00):
you go. Here's thirty thou dollars like loose change in
the couch. Yeah, I know. And then this one is
this one kind of makes me a little bit sad.
Seahawks safety Jamal Adams who had who suffered a season
and ending injury in the game. He was actually fine
ten thousand dollars one sportsman like yeah conduct against the
Broncos in a play that no flag was thrown either.
(01:07:21):
That one hurts a little bit. He just his seasons
over and over and they're popping and grant I know,
very upsetting, very upsetting. No no pool holds home run.
Yet I'm very upset. But the Cardinals are up five
one on the Reds. They're about to start the eighth naing.
But the good thing it's a double header, so pool
Hols asked time to get six. The Blue Jays are
up on the Oriels one zero, top of the second,
(01:07:43):
and the Guardians are up on the Twins five one.
They're about to start the ninth. Back to you, Jonas
by Lama. It's so good. Hey. By the way, you
were mentioning your fantasy football team. Yes, um so, years
and years ago, there was a there was a show
here at Fox Sports Radio called The Fox Fantasy Freak
and I was a part. I was the producer on
that show. And uh it was Nate Lundie, Mike Harmon
(01:08:06):
and Peter Burns and so Peter Burns obviously now with ESPN.
Great dude. We had a blast on the show. It
was always fun. Some guys we were talking about fantasy
football team names and this was got well over ten
years ago, and some guy called in and said the
name of my fantasy football team is it Burns. When
I PPR we lost it. That's not getting topped. It's
(01:08:34):
never getting topped. That's pretty good. That's very that yes,
it's it's it's very awkward. But but yeah, that is
one of the Alzheimer's and so there it is. I
have one, but I don't think I could sit on air,
so I just won't. Yeah, you know, yeah, well listen, wait,
will wait, make sure we'll do it during safe Harbor.
(01:08:57):
You're gonna have to tell me month so I could
put it in the podcast. Use all right, it is
Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter
at the Jonas Knox by the way, coming up in
ten minutes from now, and all time edition of the Scraps.
That is not hyperbole, That is not exaggeration, That is
(01:09:20):
not an oversell. That is not what Brady Quinn has
always accused me of over teasing, under delivering. No, no,
no, no no no. This is an all time edition of
the Scraps. You do not want to miss it. It's
coming up ten minutes from now. One of the biggest
fumbles in the history of sports talk radio. That's the
way I'll put it. We'll have that for you ten
(01:09:41):
minutes from now on FSR. Let me just say this
though quickly before we go to break. You want to
talk about how opinions can be formed in a matter
of seconds. In the NFL, the the feeling coming out
of Week one for a couple of coaches making their debuts.
You got Nathaniel Hackett who basically manages the clock poorly,
(01:10:07):
towards the end his time outs poorly, and then settles
for a sixty four yard field goal that misses. The
opinion on Nathaniel Hackett has already been written. Is he
ready for this? Does he know what he's doing? Is
this going to go like this the entire year while
and now he's coming back acknowledging we made a mistake.
Probably should have, you know, gone for it on fourth
(01:10:28):
and five. Already the opinions have been written on Nathaniel Hackett.
One weekend, Brian day Ball now has a nickname Dave
Balls because he went for two and it went successfully.
Never Mind the fact that the sixty four yard attempt
by Brandon McManus, the distance was fine, he just missed
(01:10:51):
it wide left. Other than that the distance was fine.
If Brandon McManus makes that kick, all of a sudden,
the opinion is on Nathaniel Hackett. Hey credit to Nathaniel Hackett.
That was unconventional but you know what, he knew his
kicker and he knew he could do it. That's that's
the sign of a good coach knows his team, knows
(01:11:13):
how to be successful. Brian day Ball, they put in
a two point conversion that was botched the Giant. The
Giants almost didn't score on that two point conversion. It
was a couple of miss tackles. Tennessee read it absolutely
to a t and they missed a field goal if
either one of those things goes in the opposite direction.
(01:11:33):
The opinion on Brian Dayball is a lot different in
New York than what people are calling him now, which
is day Balls, which is a fantastic nickname, so good
for him. Uh Jonas Knoxy or Fox Sports Radio, get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks right. Coming up next,
this is the all Timer, the all time fumble in
sports talk radio history, and an all time edition of
(01:11:55):
the Scraps. We'll get into that for you next year
on Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out
with us as always on the I Heart radio apps.
We can be alive here from the tire rack dot
Com studios. Coming up top the next hour a little
over ten minutes from now. Make sure you stick around.
It is Steve Hartman and e from Salam. They will
take you all the way through for another couple of
(01:12:17):
hours here on FSRS, we got some college football action,
UH still going on. The early games of all but
wrapped up, but we do have the early afternoon games
here on the West coast, mid afternoon on the East
coast games like Penn State, UH and UH Auburn. We've
got b y U and Oregon on Fox, so they'll
have you have you covered on that for the next
couple of hours here on f S are all right,
(01:12:39):
So if you've been paying close enough attention in the
world of sports, there is a major event taking place
later on tonight. It is the trilogy fight between Canelo
Alvarez and Triple G Gonadi Gilofkin. And for those of
you that are boxing fans, these are the two I
would say probably two of the best boxers of this era.
(01:13:00):
H and Canello is the biggest superstar, I mean, a
massive celebrity, and so earlier this week we got word
that we had an opportunity to interview Canelo, and so
we taped the interview with Canelo earlier this week to
air here today and um, the interview went fantastic. It
(01:13:24):
was awesome. I mean, Canello is actually from a place
in Mexico called Jalisco. Well, my wife's family is from Jalisco,
and so we were talking about him growing up there.
And one of the things with Canelo is a lot
of people have said that he's a little bit surly
in interviews. Could not have been nicer. He was fantastic
(01:13:44):
and we talked about his upbringing. I told him a
story how the first time I went over to Christmas
Eve at the in laws house. They I mean, when
you go to Christmas Eve at a Mexican household, it
is it is a huge deal. I mean you've got
tequila everywhere. They're making to Molly's, they're playing Vicente Fernandez,
(01:14:05):
they're dancing there, and then all the kids get to
open up gifts at midnight. So first time I went
over there, I mean they served me at to Molly
and I ate it with ketchup. So I didn't know better.
And so Canella, you know, he's busting my balls about that,
and we're having a good back and forth. He's talking
about how how Triple G is uh, you know, always talking, talking,
(01:14:25):
crap after these fights, and I mean he was fantastic. Alright,
So so without um, you know, killing anymore the interview,
Let's go ahead and uh and play the interview for
you here. So here what oh, that's right. Nobody hit
record on the interviews. I mean, so, so here is
(01:14:49):
the the situation. This was all done via zoom all right.
We were supposed to have somebody on the other end
on his side recording the interview so that they could
send us the interview back. And so the interview and
I'm not making this up. It was fantastic. It was
a great interview. He came off great. But it's basically
(01:15:12):
turned into a UFO. Sure you saw UFO, buddy. I
mean like my wife's family was like, send it over
to us, we want to hear him talk about it.
He gave a thank you to my wife's family, thank
you for all the support. In the least go. It
was great, and nobody hit record. We were supposed to
play it today and nobody hit record. It is one
(01:15:33):
of the all time fumbles in sports radio. So Danny
g and I were talking about it. We were bummed out.
And you know Lee Mayok, who does a fantastic job booking.
Guess she felt terrible, but it wasn't her fault. It
was nobody in our our side's fault. It was simply,
I guess, a miscommunication and a an inability to hit record.
So Danny and I were talking about just some of
the all time scrap interviews that is a literal scrap
(01:15:57):
because nobody gets to hear about the great interview we
did with Cannell Low because nobody hit record. Uh, and
Danny has one involving one of the most popular rappers
of all as well too. Well, it made me think
of this jay. You're from the eight oh five area code,
so you know, yeah, you know how popular West Coast
rap is there, especially Snoop Dre Warren Gy. So I'm
programming Q one O four seven. I put this big
(01:16:19):
Warren G concert together, surprised the crowd with Nate Dog.
I had him step out on stage as regulate started.
The crowd went bananas. You would have thought it was
a Beatles concert. So fast forward to that Christmas season,
one of our very unhipped sales execs comes to my
office and says, wow, Warren G must really love you
because his record label called they're gonna buy some commercials
(01:16:41):
to promote a Christmas album that he's gonna be releasing. Now,
this didn't seem weird because at the time we were
playing a snoop in Nate Dog Christmas song. So friends, Warren, gy,
fans with cameras, they all show up today that Warren
is supposed to come with his record label to feed us.
All right, The sales guy can firms everything's running on time,
(01:17:02):
But an older limo pulls up and I'll never forget
this out jumps some coming to America Zamundo extras. They
look like from the movie and matching Dashiki's. So we're
all very confused. The sales guy had a look on
his face like he didn't know what was going on,
but he still walks this big entourage up to the
conference room. My promotions director comes running down the stairs,
(01:17:24):
almost crying. She hands me a copy of this Christmas
c D. In big letters. On the front of it,
it says Wan Presents. Oh no, that's Wan w o n,
a very not famous Haitian rapper. This freaking sales guy
(01:17:48):
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mind you,
there's fifty two sixty people downstairs around this limo trying
to find Warren No needless say, my afternoon DJ did
not get to interview the Great Orangey that afternoon, and
I'll never forget. One of our street team kids looked
(01:18:09):
at us and said, does this mean I don't get
to meet Orange? Oh my god, woy, that is fantastic though,
but see here it almost But but the thing about
it is it'll be printed in your brain forever because
whenever you hear somebody say the name warreng Gy, You're
(01:18:30):
immediately going to think of Wangy. That's it's actually brilliant
branding by them, that Wang pulled up in an older limo.
Now did you actually do the interview? So the sales
guy danced upstairs like a chicken on an open flame
because he was doing damn. He went into instant damage
control mode and and he basically put on a show
(01:18:54):
for these guys. Did not walk them down to the
the on air studio. Hell no, And it was a
nightmare for years. Though there was a running WONGI joke
at the studios with the staff. Oh man, well, let
me tell you something. The reason why people tune into
this show every single Saturday is not because of the
guests we book it's because of the guests that we
(01:19:14):
thought we booked, and apparently there's some miscommunications from time
to time. Jonas son of a bit
