Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. So there's a pretty
wild revelation happening in the NFL right now. And if
it sounds familiar, it should. We've seen it else where.
We're getting into that coming up here just a couple
of moments from 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 of
(00:23):
affiliates all across the country and wherever the hell you are.
Making us a part of your Saturday morning into the afternoon.
We appreciate you doing so. We're gonna take you all
the way up until four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific,
and we do it all live from the ti irac
dot com studios. Ti irac dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
(00:44):
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti irac
dot com the way tire buying should be. So, if
I described this situation for you in the NFL, I
want you to tell me what it sounds like. Right,
I'm just gonna break this down. I'm gonna describe it
(01:04):
to you. So there's a team who has a quarterback
who they're trying to fix, and they're trying to make
sure that their investment into this quarterback is going to
pay off. And so what they've done is they've brought
in an offensive minded, established coach in order to fix
(01:30):
and get this quarterback ready to go for next season,
to ensure or at least give a higher six higher
probability that there's going to be success with this QB,
with this franchise and with this organization, because they did
invest into this guy. Now, the way I'm describing that,
that would sound like I'm describing a young quarterback. I mean,
(01:53):
you know, like you draft a quarterback really high and
then you want to make sure that he has success.
It's similar to what the Rams did with Sean McVeigh
and Jared Goff back in the day they had Jared Goff.
They wanted to ensure that they would get the most
out of their quarterbacks, so they hired an offensive minded
guy to fix whatever issues there were, to play to
(02:15):
his strengths, and to ensure that guy was going to
have as much success or at least reach the heights
of success that he could possibly reach given his ability.
You've seen the same thing happen with Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville.
The Urban Meyer thing didn't work out. They bring in
Doug Peterson, a guy who's an established coach, offensive minded
(02:39):
head coach, has done great things in this league, want
a super Bowl and has done it with a lot
of different quarterbacks. And so they brought in Doug Peterson
to fix Trevor Lawrence any issues there were, but also
to ensure they were going to maximize his ability and
his potential as a young quarterback. All of that we've seen.
We've seen teams do that. We've seen teams do it
(03:02):
and not work. Case in point, Matt Naggie was brought
into Chicago to get the most out of Mitchell Robinsky
and it didn't work. But the idea is there, and
we see this with young quarterbacks all the time. It's
why Brandon Staley was on the hot seat. Everybody says, man,
you gotta get an offensive minded guy. You gotta bring
that guy in if you want to get the most
out of Justin Herbert as a young stud quarterback in
(03:26):
this league. So this is something that we've seen in
the NFL for years now. So when I describe that
situation playing out, for you. You're probably thinking, we're talking
about another young quarterback. No, that's what happened in Denver
with Russell Wilson. That's exactly what's happening the Denver Broncos
(03:47):
with a Super Bowl champion quarterback who they have paid
hundreds of millions of dollars to have gone out and
officially hired an off of head coach to fix or
at least maximize whatever the ceiling is for Russell Wilson
(04:08):
in his time in Denver. Just think about that. That's
a pretty wild revelation that we're all sort of going
through right now in the NFL. And we just look
at it and go, oh yeah, Sean Payton and Russell
Wilson and yeah, you know it was it down here. No, no, no, no,
I think we're under selling how down of a year
it was. That this is the approach that last year
(04:33):
was such a disaster for the Denver Broncos and such
a mess for Russell Wilson, that Sean Payton is being
brought in to ensure you get the most out of
Russell Wilson. He's been in the league over a decade.
Like this is It's not like we're talking about journeyman
(04:57):
quarterback or somebody who's st ugal to stay on teams
or to get playing time, like Geno Smith in Seattle.
If you were to take this approach with Gino Smith
in Seattle, I get it. Like he's a journeyman. He's
got a lot of talent, a lot of potentially, he's
been in some bad spots. Like all that makes sense
(05:17):
young quarterbacks, we've broken down all that makes sense. The
fact that this is happening with Russell Wilson is pretty
wild when you just think about all his accomplishments, and
it just goes to show you if you thought last
year was bad, it's even worse than we realize. This
(05:37):
is an overhaul. This is hey, we can't take any chances,
and we're willing to do whatever it takes to make
this work, you know, like tradeaway first round picks and
a bunch of other stuff just to try and make
sure that it works with Russell Wilson. And that's exactly
what this is about. He's their quarterback. This isn't a
(06:01):
let's hire the guy, Let's draft a QB and then
let's go from there. That's their quarterback. Russell Wilson's their guy.
And they've had to go through all of these hoops
after paying him hundreds of millions of dollars guaranteeing he
was going to be the face of the franchise. I mean,
they gave it all. Hey, rush you once you're on office,
(06:24):
No problem here. You want to film a weird subway commercial,
no problem. Well that's that season didn't work, didn't pay
out for anybody. All right, why don't we do this,
Why don't we trade away a bunch of picks and
let's go ahead and bring in a guy who's the
best head coaching candidate on the market that we've seen
(06:44):
in at least a couple of years, a guy who's
won a Super Bowl. Let's go ahead and let's bring
that guy over to Denver. Give away a bunch, then
give him a fortune, just so we can ensure this works.
With Russell Wilson, that is how bad last year went
for the Denver Broncos. And I gotta be honest with you.
I've said it before. I don't feel bad for him.
(07:06):
If you're a Broncos fan and you're doing the Woe
is Me or you're piste off about this breakdown of
just how bad last season was with Russell Wilson as
your quarterback. Might I remind you you have had, depending
on what list you're looking at, two of the top
five quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, John Elway
(07:27):
and Peyton Manning. You've won super Bowls with two of
the top five quarterbacks in the history of the NFL,
and neither one of those are yours. Those are borrowed.
The only reason John Elway was in Denver's because he
didn't want to play for Baltimore. And the only reason
Peyton Manning is in Denver is because Jimmer saying the
(07:48):
Colts thought his neck didn't work anymore and they gave
up on him so they could draft Andrew Luck, a
guy who sounds like Andre the Giant. That is how
that went. That's the story. I'm sticking to it, and
Russell Wilson's just the next in line. So now we
get to see how this plays out. With Sean Payton,
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio, all right, I'm all for
(08:10):
making a buck uh no shame. The one thing I
hate is when people diminish any job out there. I
can't stand it. Like when somebody makes a comment like, oh,
you'd be flipping burgers. Oh, you'd be working at filling
the blank like that's something to to knock anybody on. Dude,
(08:33):
if you're working, who cares. No job is better than
any other job. I don't care if you are working
in a high rise making a million dollars a year,
or you're the guy on the outside climbing the ladder
or whatever the crane to clean the windows of that
high rise. No job is any better than anybody else's. Respect.
(08:54):
Everybody respect what they do. I'm all for making a
buck and I never looked down on it because I've
had every weird job you can possibly think of. I've
done weird things for money, all right, now, get your
minds out of the gutter. But I'm not turning tricks
to try and pay my rent. But I've done laundry
(09:17):
for my roommates. And by the way, this guy smelled
that was demeaning because I needed twenty bucks to buy
food for the week. True story. I've painted curbs, I've
done landscaping, construction. I was the rabbit chuck e Cheese.
I cleaned the bathrooms at Toys r Us. I was
a bus boy at t G I Fridays, I worked
(09:39):
in a shoe store, you name it, I've done a
lot of it, no shame. That's why I respect anything
anybody does for work. And if you're working right now,
if you're driving an uper, if you're going into work,
if you're working at a bar, a restaurant, I respect
the hell out of you because at least you're working.
The worst thing to be is easy. So I'm all
(10:01):
for anybody that's making a buck. Anything you gotta do
to make a buck. There's some guy that is selling
the sand from the beach that Tom Brady posted his
retirement video from on eBay, and they are getting bids
(10:26):
approaching a hundred thousand dollars. You gotta be kidding me. Now,
the person who's got a bid out there just under
a hundred thousand dollars. I'm assuming this is real, all right.
I'm assuming it's real. Now, maybe that's that's a bad
assumption on my part, and maybe I need to dive
(10:47):
into this a little bit more. But I'm assuming it's
real because the last bit I saw on the sand
at the beach in which Tom Brady posted his retirement
video from, was just under a hundred thou dollars I'm
not here to call names. I'm not the person who
has that bid out there. I just want you to know,
(11:09):
for me to you as a friend, you're a loser
like that. Like, just let's just get that right out
of the way. Let's go ahead, let's address that. Let's
get the obvious out of the way. You are a
full fledged, full blown zero. Now. The fact that you've
got that kind of money to burn on sand that
Tom Brady retired from probably tells you you're way more
(11:31):
successful than me. So if you got it and you
want to spend it on that, that's okay. I've bought
weird things before. It's fine, Like I I mean, listen,
I've worked weird jobs. I've bought weird things. My wife
and I were in Hawaii. I bought some stuff in
the gift shop that I never wore, but we were
(11:53):
a little bit blasted. Walked into a gift shop, started
spending money. Next thing, you know, I'm like, why do
I have this? Like, I have no idea why I
bought a sling shot in en Sonata, Mexico with a
buddy of mine. I never used it. I don't know
why I thought that was a good idea blasted bucket
of beers. You buy bad things. I don't know who
(12:14):
the hell's got this bit out, but you got problems.
Do you know how many bums either did drugs or
had sex in that same spot on the beach that
Tom Brady retired from. You know you're buying that too?
What is this a bulk purchase? Would it have been
fifty thou dollars if it was just Tom Brady's retirement video?
(12:39):
What did they do? The the extra fifty went towards Hey?
By the way, if you buy this sand not only
are you getting the spot where Tom Brady retired from,
it's also the place where some guy snorted crystal meth
and made love to his dog because he assumed it
was his ex. Like, does that all part of the purchase?
(13:00):
I'm just trying to figure this out, So point being,
you can buy whatever the hell you want, right. I
normally am not one to judge, but this is a
bit much and you need some serious help. Jonas Knocks

(13:45):
NFL playoff history, but it's taken a turn, so we'll
have that as well. And it's the usual shenanigans as
we take you all the way up for the next
couple hours here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, it's
coming up next though. There is a major problem in
the world of football in the n Offel specifically, I
know why the problem is happening, and I think I
(14:05):
have the solution. I'll tell you what that is right

by Drudi or maybe it's Drude who cares? Hey, Dandy
(15:08):
G tell me anytime you played this when you were
dejaying you knew somebody had just done drugs in the bathroom.
Actually used to play this for the Ben Mallard Show
every Friday morning, and I would just play every demeaning
Ben Mallard drop in the system over it. Yeah it
was it was good anthem. Oh yeah, it's great, man.
(15:34):
I think of two things when I hear this song.
By way, for those of you listen on the podcast,
it is Sandstorm by Drud or whatever the hell it's called.
But point being I think of two things when I
hear this song. Every time South Carolina scores a touchdown
at Williams Bryce, they play this song. This is like
their anthem. And also this was the entrance music for
(15:59):
one of the Grey eight m m A fighters of
all time, Vanderley Silva, and his nickname was the Axe Murderer.
So if you want to know who's got the greatest
nickname in all of fighting, there's none better than the
Axe Murderer, Vanderley Silva, who I've seen fight live and
(16:20):
it was it was very, very fun to watch. So
that place went off when Vanderley Silva was coming out.
So there it is. That's a quick little tutorial of
this song, and you're welcome for the plug to d
Rudy or de Rohde or whatever the hell they're called.
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. We'll get three more streams. Yeah,
of course, listen. I we did our part. And and
the way music works now, they get like they get
(16:41):
like ten cents every time somebody downloads a song, which
is why so many bands have to tour. Now, all right,
so coming up in we'll call it about ten minutes
from now. We've got a major update for an entire sport,
a major up. We're gonna encapsulate an entire sport for you,
and we're gonna do it in a very efficient manner.
(17:02):
That will be happening coming up in about ten minutes
from now. Before we get to this fix, this absolute
fix of a major problem in the NFL, we do
want to let you know we are brought to you
by the Dollar Shave Club. Are you still over paying
for a razor in this economy? Gross? With Dollar Shave Club,
you can get a top shelf shave at a regular
(17:23):
shelf price. Dollar Shave Club is available at a store
near you in the men's razor aisle. That's it. That's
the ad. So I don't know if anybody had seen
the Pro Bowl is this week this weekend maybe more
specific although they did have some events over the past
couple of days. You had some passing events and all
(17:43):
this stuff, and uh, it really is just a bag
of vomit. That is what the Pro Bowl has turned into.
It's disgusting, and everybody's trying to fix the Pro Bowl. Hey,
what do we do? Hey, how do we fix the
Pro Bowl? Anybody got any solutions to fix the Pro Bowl?
(18:05):
Why don't we do this, Why don't you just go
back to what it was, what everybody liked it. I'm
not saying it was the greatest game in the world,
but at least it felt special. Remember how you felt
turning on the Pro Bowl. You turned it on. It
was in Hawaii. You saw the palm trees, you saw
(18:26):
a Loja stadium, You saw the NFC versus the a
f C. One had blue jerseys, the other had red jerseys.
It was so cool to see your favorite team's helmet
in the Pro Bowl. It was awesome. And it wasn't
like baseball where you had to have a representative from
each team. You know, every fan base had to be represented.
(18:47):
Even if it was some dog gas team who had
lost a hundred games in the first half of the
Major League Baseball season, they still had to have a representative,
even though the guy was batting like two ten with
a couple of home uns and fifty thousand strikeouts. No, no, no,
everybody's got to be represented. And that guy is being represented,
and he's representing his team because he's got fewer errors
(19:09):
than the other guy above him, even though he's batting
about a hundred points less. No, no, no no, The Pro
Bowl was special, all the just the beach feel, all
the overhead shots of Wiki Ki. They they'd fly overhead,
you'd see a Loha Stadium and they see the NFC
and a f C the painted like the field be
(19:31):
painted and all that stuff. And then the NFL said no, no, no, no, no,
Aloha Stadium needs to be fixed. It's to run down. Yeah,
that was the problem, it's to run down. But you
know what Alha Stadium had. It had players that actually
(19:52):
wanted to participate in the Pro Bowl, like players that
actually wanted to be there. Now you fast forward all
these years later, and you know what we got for
this Pro Bowl. Well, we don't have Josh Allen. And
you want to know why we don't have Josh Allen
because he's dealing with that elbow injury. You know, that
pesky elbow injury he was dealing with all year. Yeah,
(20:15):
that one. You know, his elbow was hurt. Yeah, that's
the reason he's not participating in the Pro Bowl. Oh
that's right. But he is participating in the Blowhard Olympics
also known as the Pebble Beach Pro Am golf tournament
this weekend. So one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
Can't play in your Pro Bowl, You're All Star game
(20:38):
because of his elbow, but he can definitely swing a
golf club for four days at the blowhard tournament known
as the Pebble Beach Pro Am, that is where the
Pro Bowls at. Back in the day, Josh Allen would
have played one to know why, because it felt special,
But the NFL has taken that away. Now. Our friends
(20:59):
listening on the blow Torch of the Hawaiian Islands Fox Sports,
where they can hear us all over Hawaii. I've been there,
the great John Matthews, Rick Hamada, I've hung out, We've
had a beer together. We've talked about the blow Torch
(21:19):
of the Hawaiian Islands and how much they miss having
the Pro Bowl in town. I get it. Aloha Stadium
was you know, it's been condemned. It's a little rundown.
I've been there a couple of times. You gotta take
a freight elevator to go up to the to the
upper deck. It's a little bit dicey. It's like one
of those cargo planes you know that was dropping off
(21:40):
drugs and narcos. You know, are quite quite sure whether
or not, it's gonna land, but you know what you
get there, and it felt special. There was something about it.
The NFL has taken that away. And let me tell
you where the second step of all this occurred. Roger
Goodell did something that made sense and still makes sense
(22:02):
to a certain degree. But the problem is it helped
ruin the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl used to be
the week after the Super Bowl. Remember that, a week
after the Super Bowl you had your Pro Bowl. Roger
Goodell changed that a few years back. He decided I
(22:24):
didn't want the final game of the NFL season to
be an exhibition. I wanted the final game of the
season to be the biggest game of the year. And
it makes sense. You want it to be your main event,
right if you're if you go to a boxing event,
if you go to a UFC event, Connor McGregor is
(22:46):
not gonna be the first fight of the night. He's
gonna be the last fight of the night. Right, Conor
McGregor is not gonna be the third fight of the night.
He's going to be the last fight of the night,
and there could be a world title fight on that
same card. Wherever a McGregor's fighting he's the last guy
to go. He's the main event. So I get Roger
Goodell saying, you know what, we want our main event,
(23:07):
our last game of the season, to be the super Bowl.
It makes sense. The problem is you've now told everybody
the Pro Bowl isn't worth it, so why the hell
should they care. You think it's coincidental that when the
Pro Bowl was the final game of the season that
(23:27):
more stars appeared. Now, Troy Aikman and Troy aik been
back in the day after the Cowboys want a super Bowl.
He was in the Pro Bowl and I think he
left at halftime to catch a flight somewhere. And that's
just funny. I mean, like, they should have a camera
crew with Troy Aikman as he walks out of a
Loja stadium, takes off his pads, puts on his outfit
(23:48):
and goes straight to the airport and gets the hell
out of town. Now that they should, like, that's funny
for everybody, all right, So you could do that and
we could have a good time with it, and everybody
could make a joke about it. But it's not coincidental.
The stars wanted to play when you told them. It's
kind of kind of cool. You know it's good. But
Roger Goodell looks at this like a fight card, like
(24:10):
a main event, which is the wrong approach. The reason
why the biggest fight, with the biggest star or the
biggest world title is the last one to go is
because it's in an entire night of fighting. There's a
week separation between the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl.
Nobody looked at that as the main event. They looked
(24:33):
at it as the All Star Game. Roger Goodell looked
at it like a main event. Dude, You're not sitting
in an arena or watching a pay per view for
three hours and then finally you get to the final finale.
It's not how it works. It's a week later. He
looked at it wrong and he changed it. And the
second they moved the Pro Bowl to a week before
(24:55):
the Super Bowl, you've told everybody it doesn't matter and
it doesn't count. That is where things started to go awry.
You moved it away from Hawaii. You gave players less
of a reason to want to go because a lot
of those players I've I've talked to guys that were
in the Pro Bowl and they would say, look, it
was cool. You would bring your family long season. Haven't
(25:18):
probably gotten to spend a lot of time with your family.
But you know what, Daddy's gonna go play a football
game and you guys are coming. Let's go to Hawaii.
That was fun for everybody. What does the NFL do now, Hey,
let's go to Orlando. Neat I'm not playing? Why not
because I'm in the Super Bowl? Okay, well that makes sense.
(25:40):
There's like nine Philadelphia Eagles that aren't playing because they're
in a super Bowl. Like you've you've completely wiped away
majority of the rosters because the two best teams, who
probably have the most Pro bowlers or at least close
to it, can't play because they've got a super Bowl
(26:02):
coming up. If you want to open up the options
to see star players, open them up and put it
back after the super Bowl. Give those guys a reason
to go. Turn it into that family vacation again. And
the NFL. You got money, fix Aloha Stadium, Like set
(26:23):
up a partnership with the people in Hawaii. Maybe that
way Hawaii can actually play there and not at some
track stadium that holds ten people. You've got enough money,
make it happen. That is where you fix this whole thing.
That's the solution. Instead, you get Tyler Huntley, who's got
two touchdowns on the ear, throwing footballs at a moving
(26:45):
target in Las Vegas? Like what what? What star player
after a long NFL seasons? Like you know what, I'd
love to go to Las Vegas. In fact, I'll bring
the whole family, will turn it into the Hawaii trip again.
We'll go to Vegas and we'll take a family photo
outside the elevator where Alvin Camara beat some guy up
last year before the game. That's what we'll do. Hey, kids,
(27:07):
look smile. This is where Alvin Camara cave some guy's
face in. I'm just sofeering solutions here, all right. You
guys can get in the mud and say, well they
need to do this and come up with a new too.
Nobody wants to see ski ball with some offensive linemen
for the NFC. Nobody cares go back to Haaii. Put
it the week after the Super Bowl. That's how you
(27:28):
fix this whole thing. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio, get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas
Knocks on Twitter. All right, so coming up next, we
are going to give you an entire breakdown of an
entire sport. But we're gonna do it in the most
efficient way possible. Will prove it next. But for all
the latest from around the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen,
(27:51):
you make some damn noise for the Steffi gras Wow
of sports stock Radio, the one and Only and Finlay.
What I love about you, Jonas is you're never redundant
with your metaphor to a tennis player, which shows once
again you're becoming more ingratiated in the sport, knowing how
much that you talked about it here on f Can
(28:14):
I ask you best tennis ball pen or Wilson? Oh?
You know, you know what's I really don't have a preference.
But there's nothing much better in life, Jonas than opening
up a fresh canid tennis balls and smell the fuzziness.
Isn't that something? My dad worked. My dad worked downtown
(28:37):
in downtown l A. And whenever I would go in
to work with him and be like super early in
the morning to be pitch black. But I remember he
worked in a building that had a bunch of other
you know, offices and things like that, and one of
the one of the buildings nearby that I could always
sneak into because the back door was always open. I
think they made tennis balls or it was either a
(28:58):
tennis ball, a tennis practice facility, whatever it was. They
always had a tennis court in there, and they always
had balls lying around and I would go through and
I would I would take cans of tennis balls and
smell them. And my mom knew that I, for some reason,
I love the smell. So for my birthday one year,
(29:18):
she wrapped up a can of tennis balls and that's
what I got. One year. It was and I remember
opening it. You could hear the crack. It was better
than like opening up a can of beer. You're sure
you're a big drinker, you know that family, But like
you open up a can of beer, you open up
that chick and then it's just this aroma of tennis
balls that came out. Smell something. Man, Well, she wanted
(29:39):
you to do something different than smell the sharpie Johnny
Johnny Ringo on Fox Sports Radio, all the sharpies that
you were smelling, Jonas, she was thinking of something maybe
a little bit healthier for you. And all the gasoline
you would smell as well. The gasolene smells good. A
pack of cigarettes smells good. I've never smoked, but like
a pack of cigarette smells good. H tennis ball smell good.
(30:03):
W D forty smells good. These are all things that's
that that that smell good. But unfortunately you can't do
it anymore. Let's selly. What did not smell good is
going down the hall and using the restroom a smell
It was used by somebody. I'm not going to name names.
(30:23):
By the way, it's pretty impressive that Johnny Rage was
able to join us years after getting a blow hole
put in his head by by Doc. So good to
have Johnny with us here. I got a quick one
for you guys. It's not as gross as Finleys Finley's,
thank God. Remember when it would be schoolastic book day
(30:43):
and the book orders would arrive at ye, and your
mom was so poor that you could only get a bookmark, yes,
while the rich kid next to you got like seven
books and tossed him aside. And they and they were
ten cents at the bookstore, and and it was so
it was either that or you could get one of
those pointy pencil erasers that would go on the top
of your pencil. Oh yeah, man, I was a big
(31:04):
bookmark guy, huge bookmark. I smelled great. And to this,
to this, j Jonas has never finished reading a single book.
You know what that's insulting? All right? I have and
if by the way, I read a book about a
year ago on Edwin Valero. He's just venezuelan boxer who
killed his wife. Let me tell you something. That was
(31:25):
a fantastic read. I forget the name of the book,
but Edwin Valero, one of the one of the great
boxers that never gets talked about, never lost, knocked out
everybody he fought and ended up killing his wife and
then killed himself in prison. So I know you like
to go dark with us here, family, you have to
bring up the morbid stuff. So that is a true
story which you didn't mention is it was a picture book,
(31:46):
which actually makes it more morbid to to say, considering
how you describe it was not. And by the way,
I'm not lebron James. I at least get to page
two and three on some of these books. Well, well said, hey,
kyrievings out tonight against the wizards he's dealing with and
air quotes here right, calf store nous, so that's the
reason why he's not playing. Of course, yesterday he came
out and wanted to to say he doesn't want to
(32:07):
join the team after the trade deadline, wants to be
moved to another squad. So something to monitor there as
far as his future whereabouts. The Lakers say Roussell Westbrookers
questionable for tonight's game with the illness. We do have
a couple of college basketball games. Number eleven Baylor is
stuffing Texas Tech seveny two to forty eight, seven twenty
(32:28):
two to go in the second half of that one.
Number two Tennessee after they got humiliated earlier this week
in a loss as a lead over number twenty five
Auburn four thirty six to go first half finals to
get to I'll leave you with this, jonas a couple
of upsets here. Number eight Kansas. They fall short against
(32:49):
number thirteen Iowa State sixty eight to fifty three, and
as the Cyclones get it done. Also Number six Virginia
pukes on the road as Virginia prevails seventy four to
sixty eight and Georgetown and improves to six and eighteen
on the season. That actually would be not improving because
(33:09):
they lost, so they're down at six and eighteen on
the season after getting beat at home this time the
number twenty four Yukon sixty eight to sixty two, one
and twelve in the Big East are the Georgetown hoy
is now back to a man who I think when
he was playing high school football. I think the team
won just one game in his four years. It's about right, Yeah,
(33:30):
it's about right, sub five yeah, yeah, we were terrible.
That is absolutely accurate. Thank you, Brian. Always fun, always
feel great about myself. After hearing from Brian Fenley, it
is Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio and right now it

Get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at The
Jonas Stocks on Twitter. Coming up next, it's another edition
(34:33):
of Do You Care right here on fs are. Oh yeah,
little seven Dust? Say, have you ever played seven Dust
in a long time? You don't even like seven Dust?
I like this song. I don't know why it's called
Waffle though. Yeah, I'm not sure. Good band though. Oh
(34:59):
so it's so good. Imagine being an idiot who doesn't
like this. God that would suck. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio,
by the way, coming up top the next hour, a
little over ten minutes from now, there's a statistic regarding
the Super Bowl that is not a good sign for
one of the teams involved in next Sunday's game. I'll
(35:21):
just put it that way, not a good sign. We'll
get into that for you coming up again a little
over ten minutes from now from the entire Rack dot
Com studios. But right now, it is time for a
little something we do on the show, 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 reports.
(35:42):
Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big stories from
the last week. But Jonas, the real question is do
you care? And for that we turn it over to
the man with the best pipes in Oliver Radio, the
one and only Danny g the microphone. All Right, Happy Saturday,
let's stop be Saturday to you and yours. Let's fire
it up. Let's start with the NFL since we have
to wait till next weekend for real NFL football. Let's
(36:06):
see John Lynch. She said that it's the smart thing
to do. When asked about Brock Purty getting multiple doctor's
opinions on his torn UCL Internet doctors argued why repair
and quick rehab is more likely than Tommy John for Purty.
Do you give a rat's ass? Yeah, I actually do.
This is the second off season in a row that
(36:26):
a potential surgery could derail the forty Niners, or at
least derail the plans of the forty Niners. Remember the
Jimmy Garoppolo decision to have surgery last year and we
talked about it on this show. John Lynch brought it
up multiple times during the course of the season. While
a trade of Jimmy Garoppolo didn't happen because he elected
to have surgery. We weren't expecting that, but and they
(36:49):
played it very diplomatically, and then at the final press
conference a few days ago, they couldn't say fast enough
that Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't gonna be back. That really pissed
them off. So John Lynch is now finding himself in
the same spot where you got a quarterback that may
or may not elect to have surgery and it might
derail their plans. I'm gonna be fascinated to see what
(37:09):
San Frandz moving forward next. Al Right, it wasn't only
Tom Brady's retirement week. On the very same day, Dr
Phil hung it up and Ozzy Osbourne announced that he
was sadly retiring from touring. Do you care? Not really,
But here's here's the one thing I would say, like wait,
(37:30):
waited out a little bit, you know, like like wouldn't
you want to like retire a day later? Like it
just kind of got lost in the shuffle. I mean,
these are Dr Phil and Ozzy Osbourne. More people have
watched and listen to them than watched Tom Brady. I mean,
look at I'm a sports guy through and through. But
that's just a fact. For as many people as watching
that watched the Super Bowl, there's even more that don't
(37:53):
watch it, which is mind boggling. So if I were
if I were Dr Phil and Ozzy Osbourne, I mean,
this would entice me to want to come back for
one more run and then retire on my own. Next.
Speaking of Brady, he let it be known that he's
taking a break, just wants to focus on being a dad.
And here's the important part is not dating. Do you care? No,
(38:14):
I don't listen. He can try and spin it as
as much as he wants and say I'm not interested,
I need time listen. That's the that's the most mature
thing to do. I get all that, but all of
a sudden, it's it's like, uh, it's like shopping on
your cheat day as opposed to when you're dieting. When
you're dieting and you go shopping, it's a little bit
(38:36):
of a task because you've got to spend so much
time with the produce. Sile he just It's like, I
don't want to go down that one. All of a sudden,
when it's your cheat day, the world opens up. It's
the desserts, it's the sweets, it's the cakes, it's the carbs.
All of that opens up. Tom Brady can say whatever
he wants right now. The fact of the matter is
(38:57):
his world is gonna open up, and they're gonna be
plenty of is out there next you can eat all right.
Fans of the show and TV critics went crazy over
the Last of Us episode three on HBO. Esquire called
it the episode of the decade, and thanks to Linda
Ronstat's classic Long Long Time being featured in that episode,
(39:19):
her streams for the song increased by four thousand nine
Here's a Bad Part, though she sold her music catalog
last year. Do you care? I actually do, because everybody
is talking about this show and I'm thinking about giving
it a spin. Have you guys watched it? I have.
I think I think you'll like it. What What is
(39:39):
it like? Is it like goblins or something like that,
or what is it like zombies? A pandemic basically ruins
things for all of us. So there are a couple
of things that aren't a good sign for of the
(40:00):
teams participating in the Super Bowl next weekend. I'll tell
you what those are coming up here just a couple
of moments from now, Jonas Knox 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 afternoon. We
(40:20):
appreciate you doing so, and we're going to take you
all the way up until the end of the hour
four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific, and we do
it all live from the ti irac dot com studios.
Ti irac dot com will help you get there and

(40:40):
the way tire buying should be. So for those of
you that were wondering how's Knox Locks doing right, there's
been a lot of jokes, a lot of people have
been taken shots. I myself have taken a couple of
shots at the performance of myself during the postseason. For
those of you that are just tuning in, I was
five games below five hundred with the final two weeks
(41:02):
to go. I needed to go six and oh the
final two weeks in order to to stay above five hundred,
which it continued my streak. I've never been finished below
five hundred and picking games in the NFL, and I
did exactly that. I won all six games the final
two weeks of the season, finished a game over five hundred.
I was really feeling confident. I was really going into
(41:23):
the playoffs laser focused, laser focused, reinvigorated by what had
happened the final two weeks of the season. Everybody was
talking about Mike Tomlin's streak never finishing below five hundred.
I had a streak as well, and Mike Tomlin and
I got it done. We got it done together, all right.
I go into the postseason and I rolled out a
(41:44):
bag of crap, just awful. Two and four the first week,
one and three the second week. I was three and
seven heading into conference championship weekend, I'm just looking to
go five hundred. The only opportunity I had to go
five was if I hit on both games last week
and I parlayed them. Now, for you novices out there
(42:06):
who aren't familiar with gambling, let me tell you how
this works. A parlay is when you pick two different
bets or three different bets, but multiple bets, and if
they both hit, it pays out more. But the problem
is if one of them doesn't hit, you lose everything, right,
So so it's it's more of a gamble. So if
(42:28):
you like a couple of things, like if you like
the Eagles coming up, and you like the over under
the point total, you can parlay that it'll pay out more.
But if the Eagles cover but you don't hit the
over the under, depending on what you bet, you lose everything.
So I risked it all last week. I picked both
games and I parlayed them. I had the Eagles minus
(42:52):
two and a half and I had the Chiefs plus
one and a half, and I parlayed them and they
all hit. Baby, they all hit. That's that's all you need.
Put my back up against the wall, and that's how
Knox locks perform. So that is three wins. You add
that to the other three wins I've gotten all postseason,
and I sit at six and seven as we head
(43:14):
into the super Bowl next week. Alright, so one game
below five if I win next week, I've got an
opportunity to finish the playoffs of five hundred. I might
even bet the point total or throwing another bet as
well too, just so I can say that I finished
above five hundred in the playoffs. So it's been a
little bit of a roller coaster. If you've if you've
taken every bet that I've made so far in the playoffs,
(43:35):
I'm sorry you lost money you did, but it's not
my fault. I'm not gonna be held responsible because you
get done the opposite and you would have been plus
money at this point. So that is where we stand
when it comes to the super Bowl next week. Knox
locks and everything else that goes into it, But there
is a statistic out there, and there's a couple of
things that you probably shouldn't feel great about as we
(43:56):
head into the super Bowl. If you're a and the
City Chiefs fan, not ideal. Now never mind the fact
that the Kansas City Chiefs are underdogs, right, So I
mean they're they're point in a half underdog. Depending on
where you look. I mean you could shop around, maybe
(44:16):
you'll find a spot, but you know, you go on
to Draft Kings, you go on to bed MGM, they're
They're a point and a half. Everywhere you look, the
projection is the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna win this game.
And obviously we know Patrick Mahomes is injury and all
that stuff, although he looked okay, I mean, and he's
got more time this, you know, to get ready for
this and all that. But there's a statistic out there
(44:37):
that is not a great sign if you're a Kansas
City Chiefs fan. This will be the seventh time a
quarterback that led the regular season in passing yards has
appeared in a super Bowl. So Patrick Mahomes lad the
regular season in passing yards, i'd at this point with
(45:01):
what everybody else's has seen, Patrick Mahomes is the best
quarterback in the NFL. There's an argument for Joe Burrow.
I get all that. There's a lot of people who
want to who want to push for Joe Burrow, especially
Cincinnati Bengal fans, who, by the way, I have all
of a sudden morphed into cry babies. If we're gonna
be honest about it, you have you're listening in Cincinnati,
you're kind of crying babies. I'm just saying that is
(45:22):
the truth. But Patrick Mahomes led the NFL in passing yards.
It's the seventh time a quarterback that did that has
appeared in a Super Bowl. The problem is the previous
six all lost. Okay, So it's not like it's a
small sample size. It's not like it's anecdotal. It's not like, well,
(45:42):
you know there's one or two here. No, no, no,
this has happened six times previously, and they all lost,
every single one of them. So not the greatest spot historically,
statistically speaking. If you're the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes,
so I would say that's a bad ie if you're
a Chiefs fan. Here's the other bad sign. If you're
(46:02):
a Chiefs fan. I also like Kansas City in this game.
So that those are the two sides. So if you
are a Philadelphia Eagles fan, you should feel great about
what I just told you. I just gave you the
two most important statistics as we head into the Super Bowl.
No quarterback that's ever led the league in passing that
season has ever won a Super Bowl. And Knox Locks
(46:26):
early on likes Kansas City in this game. So those
are two stats that if you're a Chiefs fan, you
are not fond of, but if you're an Eagles fan,
you're probably feeling better about things as we get ready
for the Super Bowl. Jonas Knox or Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, speaking of gambling, football fans, be sure
to tune into Fox Sports Radio's Countdown to Kickoff, presented

Radio and the I Heart Radio app presented by bet MGM.
We do have some positive feedback. I know what you're thinking, like,
there's been a lot of negativity that's been thrown around
on this show. I don't know why you would get
(47:09):
that that impression. I feel like we do a pretty
good job of being as positive as possible. But we
do have some feedback here on the show of people
that have chimed in, people that have listened to the
show and are huge, huge fans. Tony writes in, and
he adds Dylan Brooks to this, at Dylan Brooks, do
(47:30):

small needle bleep Jonas knocks with roundhouse punches instead of
opposing ballplayers. Society will actually like and support you beating

I I attached Rob Parker to that nest. If that
was Rob Parker's burner account, I have not heard back
from Rob Parker. So we were efforting to see whether
or not Rob Parker was involved in in that latest
(48:57):
tweet that took a shot at Tom Brady and so
so there's the update. Also another update here at Fox
Sports Radio. Arnie Spanier is living in the Northeast. He
lives in Vermont, in a mansion in Vermont, and he
just sent me some of the weather they're dealing with.
There's a place that's two hours south from him that
reached minus a one and four degrees. About that, Artie
(49:24):
Spaniar has the idea a rod going on in his
backyard on accident. Is that even possible? I don't know.
Hundred and four minus one. I don't think that's it's
it's like that movie Alive. Arnie Spanier is going to
start eating his neighbors at some point. Things don't heat
out there. I'm just saying thank you for joining us, Arnie,
but I'm saying, at some point or another, if you're
(49:47):
a neighbor of Arnie Spaniard, don't be surprised if you're
laying down to take a nap and you feel part
of your body being ripped off. Because some people are
starting to get hungry over there. All right, so you
gotta we take this stuff. So we will keep you
updated on on the status of Arnie Spaniard throughout the
course of the show, who apparently is living in an igloo.
Right now, We're hungry. We're hungry. Thank you, Arnie. That
(50:07):
was Arnie after a brief stint in Germany. Give me
on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks, at the Jonah Sucks
on Twitter. That's where you can see all the positive feedback,
the unedited version of those tweets, and potentially Rob Parker's
burner account. That again is at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter.
All right, it's coming up next. There's somebody in the
NFL who was throwing a little bit of shade, a
(50:29):
little bit of shade, all right, because they want everybody
to know what they're doing is working even though it's
not and it hasn't. We'll tell you what that is
right here on fs are Wow, what a bad song,
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. Shut up. You can hang
out with us as always on the I Heart Radio app.
(50:51):
All this Pantera, all right, I apologize, shut up. Coming
up a little over ten minutes from now, there is
like we've already tried to solve problems. Here on this show,
I tried to tell you how you fix the Pro Bowl.
If you missed any of that, you can check out
the podcast after we go off the air. I've got
(51:11):
another problem in the NFL that we're gonna try and fix.
Gonna help a lot of people out. It's been a
major topic of conversation that's coming up a little over
ten minutes from now here on FS are a lot
of people chiming in on some of the the tweets
that were sent over Uh at the Jonas socks on Twitter. Uh,
David just called me a D list bleep. Soy boy bleep.
(51:39):
So the fun stuff continues here. If you were looking
at I just want to say, if you feel bad
about whatever your current situation is, it could be worse.
You could be getting that for two hours every single
week on a Saturday from some of the fans on Twitter.
Let's go live to are I have a thought on
the term d lists insider Iowa Sam for the Lader,
(52:01):
Sam listen d list. You know you're at least you're
ending up on a list. No no, no, no no, no
D less d Lissa d not d list like like
like void of having a mail a male organ if
you know what I mean. Yeah, it's not it's worse.
It's not even it's not even. Yeah, yeah, there's d
(52:23):
less and then D list. I would rather be D list.
Unfortunately that is not the feedback so far in the show.
So there it is all right. And by the way,
people stop attaching updates on P twenty two to my
Twitter account. Everyone wants me to make a comment about
that amount. Like, So for those of you who don't
know that are new to this um this part of
(52:45):
the country out here in southern California, there is a
problem where mountain lions are walking across the freeway and
uh playing bumper cars and losing every single time. And
so one of these mountain lions that people loved, who
showed up in front of the Hollywood sign for some reason,
(53:09):
they got a nickname. They called it P twenty two.
So its nickname was p I guess that's what it
was tagged. Well, apparently it was tagged in real life,
except that was by an F one fifty on the
freeway out here because it decided to play frogger across
the highway and uh and ran into an F one
fifty and so people had like a memorial walk out here,
(53:33):
Like people I like got together and did a walk
for p. Twenty two. What you know, many dogs I've
had died because they ran on the freeway. We had
a cocker spaniel who ran on the twenty three freeway
out here in southern California. There was no memorial afterwards.
You know what they did. They got a snow shovel
(53:54):
and a hefty bag and threw it in the back
of a car and drove off. That how that normally works.
Why does some mountain lion who didn't look both ways
before he crossed the highway get some memorial walk for? What?
Get a life? We weren't allowed outside during COVID, but
(54:16):
we're allowed to walk out and have a memorial tribute
for some cat that was too dumb to look both
ways before he crossed the highway. So I'm sorry, I
just I don't feel bad there. There are more problems
in this world. I couldn't care less about p. Twenty
two f eighteen, Like what do we doing playing bingo? Like,
(54:38):
come on, man, Jonas, I think that people like twenty
two because he managed to live in was it either
Echo Park or Griffith Park for like ten years, just
hanging out. I shouldn't known its place, you know where
he doesn't live on the freeway, and that's what happens.
Look do you see me? Do you see me jumping
in the ocean and swimming with sharks and going, hey,
(55:00):
take a selfie, and any one I don't do that.
I saw jaws. I saw what happened to Quint. Quint
was an experienced fisherman and he got bitten in half.
I learned my lesson p. Twenty two. Didn't learn his
lesson all right. At the Jonas Knocks on Twitter, At
the Jonas Stocks on Twitter, we are brought to you
by Discovery. We could talk about how complicated other banks
(55:20):
make it to redeem credit card awards, or we could
talk about how we discover you can redeem your rewards
for cash in any amount at any time. I mean
talk about amazing learn more discover dot com, slash redeemed
rewards terms apply. You ever had somebody in your life
try and give you advice and they've done nothing to
show of anything, Like you know, it's like like they
(55:40):
talk about what they've got going on and what their
plan is. There's always like somebody in your life who's
got these grand plans of everything they're gonna do, and
they never really do any of them. Like I had
a buddy. I've probably told this story before, but man,
this guy changed jobs that he wanted like every six months.
Every time I catch up with them, like, Hey, what's
going on? They have some I'm going to the police academy. Nice.
(56:04):
Six months later, Hey, how's that academy gone on? Getting
my license? I'm gonna drive a beer truck? Wait? What
what happened? How do we get from that to this?
But point being, everybody's got a different path. Now everything
worked out in the end, successful runs his own business
and all that. But there was a time there I
could never figure out what the hell this guy wanted
(56:26):
to do. I just couldn't. Jerry Jones is fascinating because
if you were wondering what the plan is in Dallas,
don't worry about it. Jerry Jones has found the example,
the two examples being the last two Super Bowl champions.
(56:47):
He's found those two examples and then he's tried to
clear everything up and any confusion and tell you what
his plan is in comparison to the two teams that
actually want something. Anybody to think so I won't take
a chance has misread the tea leaves. But I do
think longer term, and I'm real hesitant to bet at
(57:08):
all for a year, and there's a lot of things
that can happen for that year. In essence, we're seeing
a couple of teams that have had some real success
putting it all out there and paying it paying for
it later in Philadelphia and say and really a Los Angeles.
That's pretty impressive to have two teams in the last
(57:30):
two years empty the bucket and get to the super Bowl.
But developed if you miss, you miss it is a
long ago. I like where we are right now, more
in the middle. Yeah, So that's Jerry Jones's plan. He
thinks long term. It's not about these you know, instant success.
That's not how it works here. I mean, look, you
(57:52):
can order pizza or you can make your own. Man,
how do you want it? Well, I mean, if you'd
like to, how they guarantee, wouldn't you just order it?
You don't have to worry about the dough, you don't
have to worry about the ingredients, you don't have to
worry about undercooking it. Overcooking it, it melting on the
wrong side, its falling apart when you loaded into the oven.
(58:14):
Like you don't have to worry about any of that stuff.
You order it and it comes and it's ready to rock.
That is successful. Jerry Jones would rather make his own pizza,
you know, he'd read He'd rather make his own meal.
He's not into these one year success stories. So he's
got a plan. All right, it's gonna take a little time.
How long are we talking? Thirty years, forty years, fifty years?
(58:37):
What are we talking about here? Like, what is the plan?
Is it Let's get to a conference championship game for
the first time since Is that the new plan? I'm
just I'm just trying to figure out what the plan is.
That's all I want to know. Because it's pretty rich
of Jerry Jones to pick the two super Bowl champions
(58:58):
potentially of the last two years. Is because the Eagles
could win this year their favorite to do so, and
the Rams won it last year. To pick those two
examples and say congratulations, were not really interested in all that.
Oh forgot, I apologize. What your plan is the one
that works? I see I screwed up. I apologize I
(59:20):
take everything back. Any criticism we've had of Jerry Jones
as to the mediocrity of the Dallas Cowboys. Don't worry
about it. He's got a plan. What's the plan? Those
two teams had a plan too, except there's worked, Like
what are we What are we talking about here? Stands
(59:45):
like knocking on somebody's door. Hey, I know there's this
pizza spot around the corner. They've been there for years,
all right, I get it. And I know that if
you order from them right and now, fifteen to twenty
minutes from now, it will arrive ready to eat. I
know all of that. But my pizza costs the same.
(01:00:13):
It just takes a long time, and I do it myself,
and there's no guarantee that it's gonna taste good or
that I'm even gonna get it to you before it
starts falling out of the box and melting because I
didn't cook it right. Are you interested? They would shut
the door in your face and call the cops. Jerry
Jones is looking at something that has worked and telling
(01:00:35):
you why his is better, but his hasn't worked. Like,
what are we talking about here? It's like somebody who
invents something Yeah, the right brothers get a plane up
into the sky and then somebody's like, forget all that,
I'm working on something down here. Okay, cool buddy, I
(01:00:55):
don't Jerry Jones is talking about his plan. Dude, it
hasn't worked. The closest it came to working was in
in the latest evolvement of the Dallas Cowboys. The closest
it came to working was when Dak Prescott was a
(01:01:17):
rookie and so was Zeke Elliott, and you had a
first round by and you were hosting a playoff game.
You were hosting a playoff game against the Green Bay Packers,
and you lost at home. Great game, but Aaron Rodgers
made one of the great throws you'll ever see. I
(01:01:40):
think it was to Jamichael Finley. I believe on the sideline,
one of the great throwers you'll ever seen. And I
think Mason Cross would be hit like two fifty plus
yard field goals and Green Bay one at Dallas. That
was your best chance. Now, I think that was the
year Atlanta went to the Super Bowl. I don't think
Dallas beats Atlanta. That was Matt Ryan's NBA p season.
But the point being like that was your opportunity. Since then,
(01:02:05):
you've had to pay Zeke, you've had to pay Doc,
and you've come up short, and you haven't really been
all that close. Like if we're if we're gonna be
honest about it, you haven't so. Jerry Jones looking around
at two people's ideas who have worked and telling you
why his is the one that you should trust even
though his hasn't worked, is fascinating to me. I don't
(01:02:27):
know where you get this stuff, but that's Jerry Jones.
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, Get me on Twitter, at
the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. All right,
it's coming up next. There is a problem that a
lot of people have complained about in the world of sports.
A lot of people have complained about this issue. They
have said, something needs to be done, this person is stealing,
(01:02:48):
something has to happen, we need to make a change, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
All of that has been discussed over the past several days.
I'll tell you the only way you fix the problem.
It's next year on fs ARE But for all the
latest from around the world of sports, Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you the Rod labor Wow of Sports
(01:03:09):
Talk Radio, the one and only Brian. You didn't see
Rod Laver. I was very impressed that you pronounced his
last name correctly. Jonas do some people say Lauber. They
screw that up. It's pretty self explanatory, now, you would think,
but there are those who would take it as that
soft a as far as pronouncing it. Hey, you were
(01:03:29):
talking about the Cowboys, Jonas. They have a do offensive coordinator,
Brian Schottenheiber is still the role of Kellen Moore. How
about that? Unfortunately, Mike McCarthy's calling the plays though, so
it's kind of you know, N O C and name,
but you know, yeah, so what is he actually doing?
(01:03:49):
You know? Yeah about Hey, you know what, Brian shott
ever has been in the league a long time and
now he gets to be a Dallas Cowboy coach, which
is but I wonder what he's making, you know, Vic fans,
you is getting over four million dollars a year as
defensive coordinator for the Dolphins. Good for him, man, little
pies on passion in South Beach. That doesn't match your salary.
(01:04:15):
You're right, that's a great point, now, you're right, yeah, yeah,
you see the near twenty year old car I drive
into work every day. Yes, that is that is correct.
It's got duct tape, you know, to fill in for
the smashed in windows on the sides. Yeah, it's it's
getting to that point. And then it's yeah, that's true.
(01:04:35):
And it's the same car that in your passenger side
you've got in that seed of just a chainsaw sitting there,
like who drives around with a chainsaw? Yea, yeah, the
locks don't work, but I'm not even making that the
locks don't work. Um, yeah, it's thank you. Yeah, that
is that is Sam, You're an idiot. Oh my god.
(01:04:58):
A couple of cardboard boxes in there. And by the way,
can I just tell you guys this. I don't know
what you did to Arnie Spaniard, but I mentioned that
he sent me a text about the weather where he's
at in Vermont and it's like record lows like minus
one four degrees near his home. He sent me another
picture of like empty shelves at the supermarket and then
(01:05:20):
Arnie Spanier rights markets are empty. Show your idiot produce
or what I send you? Like, Danny, what did you
do to Artie Spaniard? Wow? What happened? He I thought
you guys got along and thought Danny had already Spaniard
got along. What's happening here? He's calling you an idiot,
(01:05:41):
Danny Gee? Why, I don't know. It's insulting, not from him,
It's not insulting. Yeah, that's a compliment. Actually, listen to you.
The photos that that Arnie sends me are are a
bit different. It's like those those photos of Brett Farve
us to send right. Yeah, just just a speedo. And
(01:06:03):
I had a Glizzie in my mouth. You know, the
first week of the NFL season, Arnie was celebrating a
Miami Dolphins World championship. It was great, it was so good.
Ah that what happened? You know what happened? Hey, Rob
(01:06:24):
Parker joining us here? Rob? What happened to Arnie Spanier
after that first week for the Dolphins? I had a
Glizzie in my mouth? Thank you, Rob, I appreciate it.
Salnia Long Oh goodness, Well, um, we do have and
I know Jonas that you have been intently watching all
of these games, but college basketball seemingly taking center stage
(01:06:48):
on this Saturday, and we've got number two tennis see
with a thirty to twenty advantage against number twenty five
Auburn close to halfway through the second half. There late
in the second half, Number fourteen Marquette is dicing up
Butler fifty one to thirty seven. Number fifteen TCU is
getting drilled by Oklahoma State fifty three to forty nine.
(01:07:12):
Ten minutes left in that one. Some of the completed games,
Virginia Tech body slamming number six Virginia seventy four to
sixty eight, Number thirteen Iowa States sucker punching number eight
Kansas to fifty three, and number twenty four Yukon finishing
off Georgetown to sixty two. Back to a man who
(01:07:35):
always carries around brass knuckles if he's not playing a
game of dice in that nearby hallway, great point print.
That's like right there, sums it up that that is
exactly what I do on my Saturdays after I get
done with this show. Tell you that. But you know what, though,
I do it with more cash in my pocket and
(01:07:55):
clean shaven. And you want to know why, because we
were brought to you by the Dollar Shave Club. Are
you still up a pan for a razor? And this
economy gross? With Dollar Shaved Club? You can get a
top shelf shave at a regular show price. Dollar Shave
Club is available at a store near you in the
men's razor aisle. That's it. That's the ad. So there's
been a lot of Tony Romo bitching going on in
the past several days about his performance this season. Look.
(01:08:17):
I recall vividly a couple of years ago doing the
Sunday Night Show with Brady Quinn when everybody was talking
about how great Tony Romo was, and we were saying,
I don't get it, I don't understand what the hype is.
I remember we got a lot of blowback. A lot
of people said, you're haters, you guys are jealous, blah
(01:08:38):
blah blah. In fact, I was quoted as saying on
the air, because they were talking about a contract extension
because CBS didn't want to lose Tony Romo, I was
and there was discussions about what his contract was going
to be, and Brady was saying, man, I'm here and
he might make more than ten million dollars a year.
I was quoted as saying on the air, if Tony
(01:08:58):
Romo gets ten million dollars a year, I'm getting a
sex change and I quote the drop is in the system.
That is a fact. All right, if you think I'm lying.
This was years ago while we were discussing the Tony
Romo situation and everybody was raven about him and they
were ball washing him. This was on Fox Sports Radio
(01:09:19):
years ago. By the way, if Tony Romo gets ten
million dollars a year, I'm getting a sex change. Facts
minus that last part that is a fact. And got
crushed for it. We were getting all you guys are jealous, etcetera, etcetera. Well,
guess what happened. The further you get away from the game,
(01:09:40):
the less offense you know, the less plays you know,
especially even though it's studying, you're out golfing all the time.
And now people are going to be critical. You're seeing
this report that came out. Andrew Marshaun of The New
York Post said CBS staged an intervention with Tony Romo
to try and get him to be better. Like last offseason,
they had an intervention. CBS came out and they didn't
(01:10:01):
deny it. They just said it was mischaracterized. What we
always beat with our talent after the year to go
over everything. Yeah, why do I have a feeling you
didn't have those same conversations with, you know, some of
the other guys at CBS, like Charles Davis, because those
guys are good. So you've got a couple of choices here,
how do you fix the issue? Well, here are your options.
(01:10:24):
Unless he does something stupid or says something stupid, you
can't really fire him with cause. So you're gonna pay
him eighteen million dollars a year regardless. That's just what
it's gonna be. So you need to just get over that.
So you have a couple of choices. You can either
get him away from Jim Nance, who sounds from the
jump like he hasn't really liked working with Tony Romo.
(01:10:48):
You can either get away, get him away from Jim
Nance and find a different pairing. Or you can just
lean into what it is. He's got his flaws, he's
got his quirks, he doesn't sound prepared at times, cetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Lean into it. Look, they do this in professional wrestling
all the time. In pro wrestling, if they try and
(01:11:13):
promote some guy and the fans turn on him, they
make him a heel. How do you think the rock
came to be. When he first was debuting in w
w E, his name was Rocky ma Evia. He was
the ultimate good guy who was a baby face, they
called him, and the fans couldn't stand it because he
(01:11:34):
was being forced down their throat, so they started these
Rocky sucks chants, and the w w E said, all right,
we've got two choices here. We can either roll with
this and have its fizzle out, or we can lean
into it and make him more hate herbal. Thus the
rock became what he became in w w E, and
(01:11:57):
he became the richest movie star on the planet. And
that all started from them trying to push something that
nobody wanted and then eventually just saying, all right, we
cave will lean into it, and we'll make a star
out of this guy. If I'm CBS dude, just lean
into it. I mean, like like showcase all the things
(01:12:19):
that he does that piss people off, make it become
a bit turn it in, like, just go with it.
You're already paying the guy. If everybody is so against it,
but they're still talking about it, there's an opportunity there.
Figure out a way get together on your next intervention
or whatever you want to call it. If you can
(01:12:40):
get him away from a golf course, figure out a
way to turn him in to a heel, turn him
into a bad guy like like you. You would be
amazed how many careers were changed because somebody didn't try
and force the issue and just played into what the
reality was. And the reality is people have turned on Romo.
(01:13:03):
They don't want to hear from him, and he sounds
like he's not prepared. If that's the case, lean into it,
because other than that, you don't have a whole hell
of a lot of options out there. Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks
at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. All right, so coming
up next, we're gonna have the scraps things in the
world of sports and beyond we have not had a
chance to get to. We put a bowl on this
(01:13:24):
bad boy right here on FS are good. Jonas Knocks,
Fox Sports Radio. If you missed any of this program,
you can check out the podcast if Fox Sports Radio
dot com. It will be posted up shortly after we
go off the air. I'll post that up on my
Twitter account at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. Uh. Coming

or now from the entire rack dot com studios. It'll
be Steve Hartman and e from Salon who will take
over the air raids. They'll have you covered on all things.
Is NFL college football? You name Ittt, Hartman and Salam
coming up here in a little over ten minutes from now.
Hopefully my Illinois fighting a lion. I can continue to
(01:14:09):
polish off uh the Iowa silence on Fox. By the way, Sam,
blame yourself. You've talked so much Iowa on the air
over the past several years. Anytime they're playing anybody, everybody's
rooting for the other team. That's on you. Your fault.
(01:14:31):
You've turned Iowa into the Tony Romo allegiate sports. I
can't name one. I can't name one player in Illinois,
but I'm rooting for him. Is Darren Williams still on
that team? Luther Head? Yeah, very good. I'll leave that
joke alone, all right, Um, it is time for something
(01:14:52):
we do every single week as we put a bowl
on this bad boy. It's time for this, Jonas, How
could you not get to these stories? Are the scraps? Oh,
Danny g I just want to apologize. I made a
mistake earlier. Somebody called me out on it. I said
(01:15:13):
that the the throw Rogers made against the Cowboys and
the divisional roundback in. I think it was was did
Jamichael Finley? It was actually Jared Cook. So I apologize,
want to correct that. The professional broadcaster here, I want
to make sure we clean up any mistakes we make.
Passed down the sideline. Yes, that one, Thank God forbid
(01:15:33):
former raider Jared damn? Right, all right, did you did
a good career? By the way, Yeah, he's he's a
good player. Did you see how Connor McGregor is back.
I did. He's gonna be on The Ultimate Fighter. His
return has been set. He is gonna coach against lightweight
star Michael Chandler on the next season of The Ultimate
Fighter before facing him in the octagon. UFC president Danta
(01:15:55):
White announced that McGregor and Chandler are going to be
the coaches. He announced that on social media. No data
location was announced for their fight that's likely going to
take place at a hundred and seventy pounds. The thirty
first season of The Ultimate Fighter is going to run
from August. Yeah, so there's there's a couple of things
(01:16:16):
that are happening, and for people that haven't followed this closely,
here's the speculation. So Connor McGregor, last time we saw
me broke his leg. He had that nasty leg break
where we've seen it a couple of times, guys like
Chris Wideman, Anderson Silver, Anderson Silver rather um, you know,
like we've seen these guys to where they throw a
(01:16:37):
kick and it lands on either a leg or or
lands on a thigh or a shin and there it's
like a nasty leg break. And that's the last time
Connor McGregor was in the octagon against Dust and Pourier
and the fight got stopped because he broke his leg.
So it's a major surgery. You got to get a
rod put in your leg. Like there's all sorts of
stuff that goes into it. Now you can't heal faster.
(01:16:59):
You just to take some stuff to to make a
heal faster, and some of that stuff may cause you
to piss hot and you could test positive for maybe
a banned substance or two. Well, some people have found
it a little bit ironic that Connor McGregor has opted
out of the USADA testing pool. The United States Anti
(01:17:22):
Doping Agency who tests all the UFC fighters. He hasn't
been in the USADA pool. And then you look at
some of the recent pictures of Connor McGregor and damn
he's jacked. I mean he is yoked up. So the
fact that this is gonna be an a hundred and
seventy pounds and he's fought majority of his career at
one fifty five, maybe he's an indicator that once he
(01:17:44):
does get back into the USADA pool. And I'm not
saying that what Look, he's trying to heal. I got
no issue with it whatsoever. And he's not fighting right now,
so it's not illegal. But maybe it's because he's so
jack that he might not be able to get down
to one fifty five, where Michael Chandler also fights at.
And maybe that's why this weight was chosen at one seventy.
I'm just saying throwing it out there. There's some speculation there,
(01:18:06):
so you take it for what it's worth. What else
we got, all right? Finally, I don't know how you
missed this story. Guinness World Records introduced Bobby, the world's
oldest dog ever thirty years two hundred and sixty six
days young. What yeah, Bobby Guinness said, has broken the
nearly century old record for the oldest dog ever that
(01:18:27):
was set by Blue, an Australian cattle dog who lived
to be twenty nine years five months between nineteen ten
and nineteen thirty nine. Thirty years old and yeah, still kicking.
And what kind of dog is it? Let's see, what
is Bobby? A Portuguese dog? It says hard to pronounce. Yeah, well, hey,
(01:18:50):
whatever it is. I mean, look, my dog lived and
it was a big dog. It was a eighty pounds.
It was a bull mast if they lived seven and
nine years, he lived, he lived twelve and a half years.
My best friend in the world. Love that dog. But
I mean, as much as we like dogs, after about
year twenty, aren't you like, come on, dude, Like, come on, Jonas,
(01:19:12):
I mean, how long we doing this? That's the forever?
I mean, I I get it, but like you know,
we're year thirty. I mean this last time this dog
was born, the last time the Cowboys won a conference
championship game. I mean, it's quite it's quite a while.
At some point you gotta move on in life. I'm
just saying stuff gets old Jonas, son of a bit
