Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. So there is a
situation in the National Football League that apparently is not
what it seems. We'll get into that for you coming
up here in just a couple of moments. From now,
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with

(00:45):
gotta tell you a little story because Easter's coming up,
you know, a little over a month away, and I
want to tell you a little story about this time
of year and being at a mall when I was
a child, and I don't recall the exact age, I
want to say I was like ten or eleven years old,

(01:06):
and so when you're ten or eleven years old and
a little bit younger. And around this time of year,
you're waiting for the arrival of the Easter Bunny. For
most of you, Easter bunny shows up drop some eggs
in the yard. You know. Sometimes they're the hard boiled
eggs that you guys died the night before. Sometimes they're

(01:27):
the plastic ones with the grass that is designed so
that if dogs eat them, it's easily digestible. How do
I know that because my dog would usually go in
break the plastic eggs, open, eat the jelly beans and
whatever pieces of change were in there. And next thing
you know, his feces was wrapped in that plastic green

(01:49):
easter egg stuff, that grass stuff. It was just the
whole thing was bizarre. It looked like, you know, somebody
had tied up, you know, his leftover and just throwing
him in the yard as some sort of a tortuous act.
It wasn't at all. He just wanted to get some
jelly beans. But that's how it goes. And so this
time of year, everybody's waiting around for it. You start
to see the Cadbury Cream aid commercials, You start to

(02:12):
see all the the peep's conversations pop up but let
me tell you why this reminds me of something that's
happening in the NFL. As a child, about ten or
eleven years old, I go to the mall, the Thousand
Oaks Mall, right, the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, California,
and I remember seeing the Easter Bunny or somebody who

(02:34):
was portraying the Easter Bunny at the mall and people
were taking pictures. And then I watched him walk away
and go into the back room. And I kept watching
the back room, and at first sight, all I saw
was the Easter Bunny, and then somebody opened up the
door again to come out and like grab a mop

(02:57):
or do whatever they were going to do, and there's
the Easter Bunny with the hat off sitting next to
him on the side, puffing away at a lung dart.
Because that was back in the day when you could
be able to smoke indoors. There would be smoke rooms
like break rooms you could just light right up. So
imagine the shock and awe that I realized, oh, that's

(03:18):
not the actual Easter Bunny, that's somebody portraying the Easter Bunny.
And if you're a little one listening to this show.
Don't worry about it. The Easter Bunny's real. He's coming
in like a little over a month. I got you covered,
he or she, whatever you want to call I got
you covered here. But this guy, this degenerate, this slob,
sitting there on a bench with the head to his

(03:39):
right and like a Marlborough light in his hand, just
puffing away. And I thought to myself, what he presented
and what he actually is are two completely different things.
One is gentle and comes with gifts and is kind
and doesn't talk, and the other one is sitting away

(04:03):
with a long dart in a break room and a
mall in the middle of the afternoon on the weekend.
It's strange, but that was one of my first lessons,
that what you present and what you actually are could
be two different things. I say all that to say this.
When I watched Bryce Young play Call Me Nuts, the

(04:25):
first thing that comes to my mind isn't Wow, he's
really small. It's just not. I watched Bryce Young, plan
I go that dude's fantastic. Bryce Young is absolutely fantastic.
There's a reason he won the Heisman Trophy. There's a
reason he's won as mini games as he has. I
got news for you. Those losses Alabama suffered that caused

(04:49):
them to not be part of the conversation when it
came to a national championship this past year. Those losses,
those were on Bryce Young. Bryce had played his ass off.
But when I watch Bryce Young play, I don't think
small quarterback, he's gonna get injured. I don't think any
of that stuff. I just think that guy's the best
quarterback in college football and he's probably gonna go number

(05:12):
one overall. Yet now Bryce Young shows up to the
combine in Indianapolis and the measurables are out. He's like
five ten and one eighth, which is the same as
Kyler Murray. He weighs two hundred and four or five pounds,
which is ten pounds more than what Alabama had him
listed at. And by the way, how about Alabama telling

(05:33):
everybody Bryce Young was six foot one ninety four. Talk
about trying to cover your own ass. Alabama goes, well,
he's six ft one ninety four. No he's not. He's
five ten and one eight. Well, you're right, we may
have rounded up there, but at least we rounded down
on the weight. So that was accurate. Okay, well, I
guess it's all fair now, got it? Okay, understood, We're

(05:55):
good now. At least you lower the weight, increase the height,
and then we come to find oh, it's a pleasant surprise,
he's like ten pounds more. Now. Is he gonna pack
on more weight before the season starts? Probably, you'd assume.
So I don't know what that entails. You want to
go a rifle back, two, three cheeseburgers an hour and

(06:16):
then figure that whole thing out. That's fine. John Jones
is fighting later on tonight, and some of the reviews
on his physique at going up to heavyweight a little
bit mixed, a little bit mixed. But point is here
we are and people are fixated on the height for
Bryce Young and I've gotta be honest with you. It
doesn't bother me. And I don't know what it is.

(06:39):
When I watch Kyler Murray play, Kyler Murray struck me
as somebody who was small. Like I look at Kyler
Murray and I go, oh, he's small, Like he's fast.
He's like the videos of those UFOs that are out
now where they dart across the screen. There's like this
tic tac toe video like this Tic Tac video in

(07:01):
San Diego where they film this flying object and it
was darting up and around the screen. Kyler Murray reminds
me of that. When I look at Kyler Murray, I go, Okay,
he's small. When I look at Bryce Young, I just
don't see it. That's not what I come away with.
And I'm not saying that they're lying about the measurables.

(07:22):
He's small no matter which way you slice it. But
I watch him play and the first reaction for me
is that guy's fantastic. It's like Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson
is an undersized quarterback. He's a little bit bigger than
Bryce Young is. But when I watch Russell Wilson play,
I don't come away with he's small. Now, up until

(07:44):
last year, when I watch Russell Wilson play, I came
away with that guy's gonna be a Hall of Famer.
He's tremendous and he figures out a way to make
plays and keep his team in games. And now when
I think about Russell Wilson, I think a little bit
of a weirdo, has his own office and a lot
of people don't like him. And kind of a phony

(08:06):
if we're gonna be truthful about it. But the point
is what you present and what you actually are could
be two completely different things. When I'm sitting in a
mall at ten years old and I think I'm seeing
the Easter Bunny, and next thing you know, the guy's
got a Salem regular hanging out of his mouth on
a break and he's got his hair all over the

(08:28):
place with the head to the costume sitting next to him.
That was a little bit jarring. What I saw and
what was actually there two completely different things. What you're
being presented with when it comes to Bryce Young is
a fantastic player. He's a fantastic quarterback. There's a reason

(08:48):
he was the best quarterback in college football. And to
his point, I've been this size for a long time.
I don't know what you want me to do. So
while we all want to get fixated on the net,
burs and this is what this is what it's telling us,
and this is what his measurables are, and this is
his height, and these are all the quarterbacks who haven't
made it at this height, and this is who he's
close to in proximity, and what his hand size is

(09:11):
because he's at least he's got bigger hands than Kenny Pickett.
You can focus on that all you want, but what
he's presenting is a phenomenal quarterback and five ten and
one eight or six feet tall or one ninety five
or two uh four or whatever the hell they want
to spin this as Bryce Young is phenomenal and he's

(09:33):
going number one in the draft. He will be the
first quarterback taken. He'll be the first first player taken
in the draft coming up in April. That is a fact.
And it just depends on who's going to make the
move with his Chicago to try and get up there
to focus on the player he is and not the
height everybody is fixated on right now, Jonas Knox Fox
Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox

(09:56):
at the Jonas Knox on Twitter, and you can hang
out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app. So
we are going to take you all the way up
until four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. It's a
two hour extravaganza. We're gonna have the usuals. We've got
another edition of Do You Care. We've also got the
scraps and the same old grab as we present to
you full throttle two hours on a Saturday here at FSR.

(10:19):
But coming up next though, there's something happening in the
NFL that's not getting a lot of attention, that's not
getting a lot of focus and a lot of attention
from anybody around the National Football League or in the media.
But we are going to give that some attention. Before
we get into that tease and before we send you

(10:40):
off to break though, we do have a little bit
of breaking news out of the world of sports, and
for that we turn it over to Brian Fentley. Breaking
news from Fox Sports. Yes, Jonas Ce Grizzlies are going
to be keeping John Ranth superstar away from the team
for at least at least the next two games. This

(11:00):
decision in response to Moran scene on his Instagram live
early this morning at a nightclub holding a gun. Moran
started the social media post at five nineteen am Eastern time.
This was hours after the Grizzlies got beat to the
Nuggets scene without as surt on and hum humming along
to hip hop tunes. Now, this comes after The Washington

(11:21):
Post came out with a report on Wednesday alleging two
separate incidents involving Moran from last summer, one Jonas, where
he's accused of showing weapon to a seventeen year old
boy when the two got into a disagreement. Is that bad? Yes, yeah,
considering that, I Look, I mean, the only thing could
make this story even worse as if like he I

(11:42):
don't know, threatened a security guard at a mall, or yeah,
that happened to be the other. Oh my god. But
the first, the one I was mentioning Jonas, was a
disagreement that broke out between himself and a seventeen year
old boy pickup basketball game in Morant's own back yard. Well,
I mean, listen, when when it says take your shoes

(12:04):
off before you come inside, you know, I mean you
got to pay attention to the rules here. I don't
know what to tell you. This is this is an outrage.
So he's flashing guns at seventeen year olds, he's flashing
guns on social media, he's threatening security guards at malls. Um. Yeah,
probably a smart move to keep him away from the
team for a couple of days. Well, let you figure
this stuff out. Look, Memphis has got a reputation around

(12:27):
the league as being the real trash talkers. Dylan Brooks
has gotten under a lot of people's skin. There's been
physical altercations. There's a lot of back and forth between
Memphis Memphis and a lot of teams in the NBA,
And you gotta wonder if John Morant is kind of
leading the charge towards this rebellious bad boys Allah Detroit
Piston's attitude. Unfortunately, I don't remember Bill Lambier pulling out

(12:51):
a hand cannon on a seventeen year old in his backyard.
For some reason, I don't remember that happening Jonas. You know,
I think I feel in a way that this all
stems back to the grit and grind era with the
Fits Grizzlies. That's when in Clipper fins would know they
were in some big playoff brawls between the Clippers and
the grizz where Zach Randolph and Tony Allen, these guys
were the enforcers out there, guys you don't want to
mess with. They were physical, looking to start a fight

(13:13):
if they had to on the court. And I feel
like this might be translating itself into the next generation
of Grizzly players, like they're taking the baton if they
will could be or I don't want to make that joke.
Somebody who get offended by it, all right, Yeah, so
there it is. So John Morant's going to be out
for at least a couple of games. That is the
breaking news out of the world of sports. It is
Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio and again you

(13:35):
we're going to be taking you all the web until
four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. Anything else that
happens or transpires in this fiasco that is John Morant,
whatever the hell he's doing with guns and social media
and seventeen year olds and all the other fun stuff
with that. We'll have the very latest on those developments
throughout the course of the show. But again, up next,
something happening in the NFL not getting a lot of attention.

(13:56):
People aren't focusing too much on this as of right now,
but I'm telling you it's a big deal and it's
a sign that there's a bigger problem in the National
Football League. We'll get into that for you. That's next.
We don't need to bring Jonas in. Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio coming up with a little over ten minutes
from now from the Tire Act dot Com Studios. We

(14:20):
are going to get into what is just, unfortunately for
a lot of people, just a reality of a situation
that has currently taken place in the NFL. It's just
a reality. I don't know. I mean, look, we can
get upset about it, but these are the facts. And
we'll have that for you again coming up in a
little over ten minutes from now on FSR. So, there

(14:41):
was a kind of an under the radar story that
took place in the NFL, and with the combine going
on and all the other speculation you've got, where's Derek
Carganna end up? Nobody knows whether or not Aaron Rodgers
is not on drugs, or whether or not he he's
like you know, hanging out with the Gopher from Caddyshack

(15:04):
underground somewhere, and whether or not he wants to come
back and playing he does these these weird podcasts and
like all of that. Other funds and by the way,
I support Aaron Rodgers. I've continued to support Aaron Rodgers,
all right, that's my guy. But under the radar story,
under the radar story when it comes to the National

(15:24):
Football League and something that has happened so far in
the offseason. That's not getting a lot of run. So
Jerome Boger, who's the longest tenured crew chief in the league,
the referee, he announced his retirement. Now you probably think
of yourself and no big deal. It is an officially retired.

(15:45):
He's been doing it a long time. Wants to move
on to some other stuff. No big deal whatsoever, Jerome Boger,
not a problem at all. Huh well, no big deal
except for the fact that he's the ten official to
walk away this offseason. You know, Nah, no big deal.

(16:06):
Just ten doing the same job walking away in the
same offseason. You're right, nothing to see here, not a problem,
peer coincidence. Just happens to be ten people doing the
same job walking away. Listen, I don't know a lot
about a lot, but here's what I do know. No
matter where you work, no matter what it is you

(16:30):
do for a living, where you're listening right now, in
all parts of the country, if you're driving an uber,
if you're a truck driver, if you're on your way
to work, if you just left work, if you work
at a supermarket, if you work in a factory somewhere,
if you work in a shopping mall, if you're in
retail or sales, or you work at a car dealership,

(16:52):
or wherever the hell you work, whatever it is you
do for work. If a large portion of the people
that do your job all leave right around the same time,
that's significant. That's a story. I can remember working at

(17:12):
a restaurant and there was always quick turnover when it
came to the manager position, Like every four months or less,
we had a new manager, and people just kind of do, okay, well,
you know, they're just rotating through. They're just somebody's going
to this location, somebody's going to that location. And it

(17:32):
was a giant chain, were like a well known restaurant,
a chain corporate. And I remember having a conversation with
somebody I worked with and saying, don't you think that's
a little alarming if we're having that much turnover at
the manager position, Like when you become a manager, that
should be like a significant step in your career, and

(17:55):
that should be where you've ultimately worked to get to.
You would imagine you want to stick around for a while.
Why are there people in that position and a new
person there every three four months. It's a little odd,
especially for a corporate environment. And wouldn't you know, wasn't
that long afterwards that place went out of business. Now,

(18:16):
I'm not saying the NFL is going to go out
of business, but I'm saying, when you've got ten officials
retiring in the same offseason. The Super Bowl just ended
a couple of weeks ago, wasn't even a month ago,
and you've got ten officials who have walked away. You

(18:38):
know why that's happening Because the job sucks. It's a
horrible job. And Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino were ahead
of this years ago. They realized this is a no
win situation and as big as the league gets and

(19:00):
as popular as the league gets, we're gonna be under
the gun and we're going to be scrutinized and criticized,
and it's just not worth the headache. I'd rather go
do TV. I'd rather evaluate calls in games during the
season on a Saturday or a Sunday in a television

(19:22):
studio or booth somewhere and get paid very nicely to
do that, as opposed to having to deal with the
stress of traveling all over the country just so at
best best case scenario. Only half the people hate your guts.
The job is miserable. I don't know why anybody would

(19:42):
want it. I can't imagine having a conversation with somebody
and them saying to me, I want to be an
NFL official. Why what fun is that? That's like saying
you want to work it? You know Joe Exotics ranch

(20:03):
where they where they pet those tigers. You saw that show.
Everything was fine right up until the end when he
had one lady get her arm ripped off and another
guy who put a blowhole in himself on camera. But
it's okay. Who want to work there? Bike? Hey? How
things end up on the show. Well, they're all meth heads.

(20:25):
That's why he was losing his teeth. Don't worry. It
wasn't like he got punched or anything, or you know,
he was out, you know, target shooting and the gun
backfired into his mouth. No, no no, no, he was on
He was on meth. He was a drug addict. Oh,
and two of his workers, one guy blew his brains out,
the other one got her arm ripped off. But it's fine,
everything's fine. You want to come work here now? I'm good? Okay?

(20:47):
Who wants like? Why would you want to be an official.
It's it's a miserable existence. You're told every week you
suck and you don't know how to do your job
by people who have never done the job and are
probably half in the bag when they're watching these games,
or they've got money on one team, or they're a
fanboy for one team and they can't handle the fact

(21:10):
that their guy may or may not have had a
holding call. And I'm not saying there haven't been bad
calls in the NFL. There have been, and I'm guilty
of focusing on the bad stuff more than the good stuff,
because the reality is, they get probably ninety eight to
these calls, right, and what do we focus on the

(21:30):
one they don't. It's like the person in your life
who only wants to focus on the negative and none
of the positive stuff. Like you loan them one hundred
bucks and they complain that it's all twenties. Alright, Sorry,
sorry about that. I apologize, Okay, my apologies. I'll make
sure it's a cris clean one hundred dollar bill, all right,

(21:50):
If that'll make you feel better, That's what I'll do.
We all focus on the bad stuff when it comes
to officiating. All of us. Every one of us does it,
and so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise
when ten officials walk away, And even how the story
was presented is an indicator that the job sucks. When

(22:14):
they're talking about Jerome Boger, you want to know how
they point out who Jerome Boger is. They point out
that Jerome Boger was the official who called the roughing
the passer penalty on Grady Jarrett in the game against

(22:37):
the Bucks and Tom Brady. Remember that one where Atlanta
was making a comeback in that game and Tom Brady
got taken down to the ground and there was an
egregious roughing the passer penalty which extended the drive. It
was a third down, Atlanta had all the momentum and
it looked like they had a real opportunity to come
back and be Tampa Bay. It was a terrible call.

(22:57):
When you think about Jerome Boger post retirement, that's his highlight,
not the Super Bowl. He officiated. No, no, no, no.
And then when they did talk about the Super Bowl
he officiated. Guess what they pointed out about it, not
the fact that it was Harbaugh against Harbaugh, not the
fact that the Ravens won a super Bowl. Not the

(23:19):
fact that Colin Kaepernick put on a hell of a
performance in the second half and San Francisco did a
great job getting into that game. No, no, no, no.
They didn't even point out the fact that Joe Flacco
won a super Bowl and was in a contract year.
You know what they pointed out Jerome Boger, who officiated
the Super Bowl where the power went out in the Supernome.

(23:41):
Everything's negative, no matter what you do in that job,
it's all painted his negative. You know who one of
the other guys was that retired this offseason, walked away
retired one of the other officials. Guess what his highlight is.
He was the guy who asked Mike Evans for an
autograph post game. That was his highlight, Not any of

(24:04):
the other stuff they've done good, Not any of the
other really tough calls they've made in real time that
didn't need replay because they called it on the spot. No, no, no, no.
The guy who asked for an autograph, the other one
with the egregious penalty, and the guy who called the
Super Bowl that had a power outage in the Superdome.

(24:24):
Who wants that job. It's terrible. They need to make
officials full time, full time. They just need enough guys
to want to do the gig. It is an awful job.
You do it part time and go back to the
real world and do your other jobs because it's like, Okay, look,

(24:46):
unless I work out like at hockey, or unless for
some reason, you know, I do make a really great
call that only one half of the crowd is gonna
like in the other half is gonna be pissed. I'm
not gonna get any notoriety. I don't know why anybody
would want this gig. And it just goes to show you,
Mike Pereira, Dean Blandino, or ahead of this years ago,

(25:08):
they saw with more attension and more eyeballs and more
money and gambling and everything else coming into the game,
the job's only going to get worse and worse and
less appreciated as time goes on. And that's exactly what's happened.
It should not be a surprise that ten officials have
retired so far this offseason because they don't want any

(25:29):
part of that crap anymore. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio
Get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the
Jonas Knocks on Twitter, and we are going to take
you all the way up until four pm Eastern time,
one o'clock Pacific coming up next, though, there is a
reality to the situation, all right, there's a reality to
the situation in the NFL. You may not like it.
It may not be one of your favorite players in

(25:51):
the league. You may not like the fact that this
guy is still roaming around and still making comments and
still doing interviews and all that. But it is a
reality of the situation. You've got to get used to,
because I believe it's coming back for more. We'll get
into that for you next here on FSR. But for
all the latest from around the world of sports, ladies
and gentlemen, I present to you none other then the

(26:15):
stan Warenka Wow of Sports talk Radio. Brian Fenley so
impressed Jenny's yes exactly, well said, well, hey, the about
that friendly I was waiting for the computer to pull
up all these names. I got. Well when you said
none other than, I'm like, Okay, he's buying time. He's
buying time scrolling down trying to find you know what
a va bro, You know what a vamp sounds like?

(26:36):
You're a radio professional little tricks of the trade. You
know that that happened to be in there. Hey, the
none way of my favorite kind of starting. Yeah, yeah,
don't go for it. It's when like there's a glitch
in the system, or we're waiting for sound to pull
up and everybody's scrambling because you know, there's like a
technical difficulty or the sound doesn't sound right, and so

(26:57):
the host on the air it's got a vamp and
you'll get like a tweet from somebody that says, dude,
can you just throw it a sound by it already?
What do you want to take us so long? A
dumb ass? We're working on behind the scenes here. We're
trying to be professional here. Do you want us to
just show how everything's made? We got a glitch in
the system because the buttons are wrong and we have
old equipment. Is that what you want? You also want
to talk about the fact. You also want to talk

(27:19):
about the fact that the cheap asses who run the
vending machine here have jacked up the prices. It's now
seven dollars and twenty two cents to get two cheese.
It's out of a bag that's been sitting there with
dust on it for six months or do you want
to talk about that? Sorry, Jonas. I love how your
show on Saturday Says turned into a venting section, very

(27:39):
therapeutic and cathartic for you. I would assume that's what
I need, all right, this is what I need. A
lot of people are like, why do you work at
extra day? You already work all week? Because this is
how I vent. It's cathartic for me. Apparently you didn't
work out this week because usually you do that pumping
those those ten iron ten pound dumbbells. The pumping the iron,
I should say, there's they're wrong with doing ten pounds. Listen,

(28:01):
if you got to start at ten, go to ten.
You know, if you want to do shoulder fly shoulders,
side raises, front raises, whatever, you can do a lot
with ten pounds, don't worry about it. Yeah right here, Yeah, Hey,
the Memphis Grizzlies are suspending job are in at least
the next two games. That would be the Sunday contest
at the Clippers and Tuesday at the Lakers. This because
right went on Instagram live early this morning from a

(28:24):
nightclub with a gun scene in his hand. The high
flyer was seeing topless and attempting to sing along to
hip hop jingles his teammate, by the way. According to
ESPN and now the team, the Grizzlies have confirmed this,
Brandon Clark is not coming back the season. That would
be because of a left achilles tear. So things not

(28:44):
going well for the Memphis Grizzlies. When it comes to
different news items college basketball, Number two Alabama face plants
on the road to number twenty four Texas stem sixty
seven to sixty one. Waite at Taylor, the four that
twenty eight points and Brandon Miller, who allegedly is connected
to a murder weapon that did involve a crime of

(29:07):
one of his ex teammates. He went two of twelve.
Did Brandon Miller from three point range on this game?
Bricked one after another from downtown Iowa State with an
upset win against number seven Baler seventy three to fifty eight.
Games that are happening right now, you would see number
thirteen Virginia just rolling against Louisville twenty six to fourteen,

(29:28):
five minutes ago. In the first half of that one
lay stages of the first half. And you've got number
eleven in Kansas State all tied up with West Virginia
and late in the first half, I should say number
twelve Tennessee is up by one twenty seven to twenty
six against an unranked Auber team led by Bruce Pearl
and lastly Jonas out of the NFL. According to NFL Network,

(29:53):
veteran kicker Robbie Gold has notified his team that after
and that would be the forty nine Ers, where he
has been the last six years, that he is no
longer going to pursue a contract with them and wants
to enter free agency. So Robbie Gold, one of your heroes,
a man that pumps Alana iron, is definitely on the

(30:13):
way to going to another team. And let me tell
you something. I know what he's setting up for. He
wants to go back to the Bears. I'm telling you
that right now. Trust me. He still lives in the area.
He loves Chicago. He never wanted to leave. It was
Ryan Pace who decided we need to really fix the

(30:34):
kicker position, so he released Robbie Gold and instead went
out and paid Cody Parky and free agency, who basically
turned into Lieutenant Dan. In a playoff game against the
Philadelphia Goals, and had a meltdown afterwards and went on
Good Morning America. I'm telling you, Robbie Gold wants to
go back to the Bears, and if there's an opportunity,

(30:55):
he wants to go back home. And he's one of
the best kickers, and I would called of all time
if you want to just look at his numbers. He's
never missed in the playoffs. He's never missed a kick
in the playoffs. He's fantastic. Man shows. You sound like
such a fanboy, because you forgot to tell our listeners
that you are a staunch Chicago Bears fan. You're such
a homer. I grew up a Packers fan, but you

(31:17):
and I didn't. And I didn't really watch a lot
of NFL grown up. I actually watched mostly tennis. Did
you hear what You watched a lot of fistfights just
in the backyard that you set up an exhibition and
you had fistfights. Absolutely not. No. I love ton of tennis,
so it was a big tennis guy grown up. Yeah.
And wrestling no no, no, no, I mean Andre Agassi,
not Andre the Giant. That's the way I think. What

(31:39):
about sumo? No, no, listen, I'm just a big tennis guy.
That's everybody's a tennis fan. Come on, family, Yeah, I'm
trying to put you up on a little bit of game.
It's because you know, you talk about it so much
on your show. I obviously it makes so much sense.
Of course, we do a big we do a three
hour show. We spend the entire fourth hour talking tennis.
There's something wrong with that. We're trying. This is about ratings, family,

(32:00):
Are you gonna get that? All right? It is Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio. By the way, are you still
over paying for a razor? In this economy? Gross? With
Dollar Shave Club, you can get a top shelf shave
and a regular shelf prize. Dollar Shave Club is available

That's it. That's the add all right. So we're up
against that. I want to make sure we can pay
off the teas though. So coming up next, I'm gonna
tell you in another edition of Do You Care why

(32:22):
a situation in the NFL isn't going anywhere. You may
not like it, you may be tired of it. It's
not going anywhere, and it's yours right here on FSR.

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and Rich
give me a hell yeah, all right? It is Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio, coming up top an XT hour a
little over ten minutes from now from the tire rack
dot Com studios. There is a scenario that could play
out in the National Football League and it's a fun one.
This is a fun, juicy little scenario. A quarterback going

(33:29):
higher in the draft than a lot of people expect
him to. We'll give the details on that and how
that could play out. Coming up here. A little over
ten minutes from now, But right now it is time
for a little something we do on the show every
single week, and it's called this food. There are so
many stories in the world of sports, and most of
them are a complete waste of time. Ms her reports,

(33:52):
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
our executive producer, Ryan Burschinger. He's gonna be hanging out
all two hours with us here on FSR and always
love it, every minute of it. Burst what do we got?
Oh boy? Well, Aaron Rodgers vacation another week. Aaron Rodgers

(34:21):
still has no decision on his future after completing his
Darkness retreat. Jonas, do you care? Yeah? I do. I
think it's great. Yeah, Hey, keep doing what you're doing, Aaron.
Go on whatever podcast you want to go on where
a guy's sitting there barefoot for some reason while he's
interviewing you. I don't know, whatever you want to do.
Talked about it last week. He's presenting you a such

(34:44):
a different look at how you can potentially walk away
or stay in the NFL than we've ever seen before,
never seen this before. Brett Farve did the emotional stuff
and then waffled back and forth. Tom Brady came back,
and it was just kind of a social media post.
Ben Roethlisberger hinted at retirement all the Aaron Rodgers literally

(35:05):
went underground, probably did drugs and hung out with worms
and gophers and a hole in Oregon covered partially in
snow and still doesn't know what he wants to do.
That's a commitment to the craft, a commitment to the decision.
I'm a fan of it. And if you're not, tough balls,

(35:28):
because I think he's coming back for another year next.
Antoine Davis of Detroit Mercy is three point shy of
Pete Mirovich's all time Division One scoring record, Jonas, do
you care? Yeah? I do? You want to know why
I care? I was kind of back and forth. You know,
I was a little bit indifferent on it because it
would have been nice if he broke the scoring record

(35:48):
in season and did it, but he finished three point
shy tying it, and as you said, four points of
breaking the record. And then when I see all of
these people complaining that they might get an invite to
one of these postseason tournaments to give him another shot
to try and break the record. And you see how
outrage these people are, like, oh, you can't do that

(36:08):
to pistol Pete. Oh yeah, he complain about it or something.
I don't. Well, it's what's the problem, because because the
guy wants to play in the CBI or the n
I or the ATT or the the JY, Like, what
who cares? If he breaks the record? He breaks the record.
If he doesn't, he doesn't, What does it matter? Does

(36:29):
it mean that Pete Marivitch isn't one of the all
time great players? Who can people get so worked up
about this craft like somebody's eventually he's probably gonna break records.
That's how this goes. So if he wants to play
in one of these tournaments, what do you care, don't watch,
don't don't acknowledge the record. If you if you don't
want to acknowledge the record, don't. Look. Do you think

(36:51):
I acknowledge that Lebron James has four championship rings? No,
he's got three and a half. One of them was
in a bubble. I don't count that as one. You
have decisions you have to make as a human being
is as a person, all right, and me I don't
count that as a full championship. That's a half ring.
They should only get one half ring. In fact, it
should be half gold on top with elastic underneath. That's

(37:12):
what it should be, the championship ring for the Lakers
during COVID. That's how I feel about it. You can
do the same thing with this record. You have choices here. Next,
the XFL has reinstated Orlando Guardians quarterback Quinton Dormandy after
he allegedly provided an opponent with his team's playbook Jonas,
do you care? Yeah, I love it because I think

(37:33):
they brought him back and they probably said, hey, thanks man,
because this is the only notoriety we've gotten so far
in the season. Their ratings are abysmal. Their ratings were
bad week one and dropped fifty percent week two. You
get like, I mean, I don't know if it was
just maybe the Rock coming out for no reason whatsoever

(37:55):
in a tailor jersey week one to announce the start
of the season. I don't know. Maybe it was that.
I remember when Vince mcmaan, everybody made fun of Vince
McMahon because he said that they Hay I'll take that
over the rock in a tailored XFL jersey, given a

(38:20):
motivation speak before week one, only to have that ratings
weekend from week one turn into an absolute armpit fart
and get worse week two. If I were them, I'd
start telling these guys to take steroids. And I'd start
telling these guys to hit up John mort and say, hey,
how'd he get in the news. We need some notoriety. Next,
Jake Paul lost to Tommy Fury. Jonas, do you care? Not? Really?

(38:44):
I mean ay, if you're somebody like me who bet
Tommy Furry to win and also bet Tommy Furry to
win by decision at six hundred plus six hundred, I
had Tommy Fury to win at plus six hundred. If
you're like me, that's a big deal. Next, a man
is now a Guinness World Record holder after he visited
Disneyland for two thousand, nine hundred and ninety seven consecutive days. Jonas,

(39:08):
do you care? Yeah? Because I think so. Something's got
to be pointed out here. If you go to Disneyland
almost three thousand straight days, you're you're easily the biggest
loser I've ever seen in my life. Like there's nothing else.

the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio

near the top of the NFL Draft that I love
more and more and the more I think about it,
we'll get into that for you here coming up in
just a couple of moments from now, Jonas Knox, Fox

(39:49):

We appreciate you doing so. We're going to take you

Ti irac dot com. We'll help you get there and
unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road as a protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti irac dot com
the way tire buying should be. So there is a
potential scenario that could play out in the NFL. That
has got fun written all over it. So we talked

(40:34):
last hour about the measurements for Bryce Young. Five ten
and one eighths. He's two hundred four pounds. Everyone's doing
the comparisons too. Is he this big? He's a slightly
smaller than Russell Wilson, but the same size as Kyler Murray.
You know, he's a little bit bulkier than we thought
at Alabama. He's so everyone's playing that game. And my

(40:56):
point on Bryce Young is he's going to be the
first quarterback drafted. Like I mean, we can sit here
and we can try and dispute that and talk all
we want. There's a reason why the money has stayed
on Bryce Young to get drafted first, and the money's
only grown in him being the favorite to go number
one overall the draft. So whoever moves up to number one,
if it's not going to be Chicago, whether it's Houston,

(41:16):
whether it's Indianapolis, Caroline has been rumored, the Raiders, potentially,
whatever the case is, Bryce Young is going to be
the first quarterback taken. That's where all the money is.
That's what all the odds are saying. Bryce Young is
going to go number one. So on the flip side
of that, although he's gonna go number one and there's
questions about his size, the one guy at the combine

(41:38):
who you have zero questions about whether or not he's
big enough is Anthony Richardson out of Florida. He is
a house six four two forty four. It's bigger than
Ben Roethlisberger. When he came out, he talked about you
know who he looked up to grown up, and it
was Cam Newton And you just see the size and

(42:00):
the specs and all that, and you go, Okay, I
get it. I get it. The other thing about him,
he's got a Holitzer for an arm and puts on shows.
There's stuff from him at the Manning Academy. He's throwing
the ball seventy seventy five eighty. He's got a cannon.
So all the scouts are looking at Anthony Richardson going, yeah,

(42:21):
he doesn't have the numbers and the credentials and the
accolades at some of these other quarterbacks like a CJ.
Strout or a Bryce Young have, But damn, there's a
lot of talent there and a lot of potential, and
there's a spot near the top of the NFL draft
that if you were looking for a quarterback with raw
talent that you weren't going to start right away, but

(42:44):
you looked at him and said, that guy's got all
the goods to potentially be a great NFL quarterback with
no questions whatsoever about his physical traits, about what he
can do from an arm standpoint. He just needs some polishing.
He's raw, he just needs some time to develop, but

(43:05):
he could be really good. If you were looking at
a place that would make all the sense in the
world for that type of quarterback in the draft, it's
the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle's got the number five pick in
the draft. Anthony Richardson, depending on who you talk to,

(43:25):
will probably be the third or fourth quarterback going. There's
some questions about do you take him or Will Levis first?
Who would you prefer him or Will Levis? Like that's
the big conversation. And there's a lot of people who
are leaning towards Anthony Richardson because of his specs. They
look at him and they see where he's at and
they go, well, that that would be the guy that
we would look at. We'd probably want to go Anthony Richardson.

(43:48):
If you're just breaking down the way the draft looks
right now, let's just do it like this. If the
Bears trade out of one, and whoever takes that spot
drafts Bryce Young, that leaves c. J. Stroud and then
Anthony Richardson. If the Bears trade back to two with Houston,

(44:09):
the Bears are probably going to go in a direction
on defense. I would assume it would be Jalen Carter.
I know a lot of people aren't gonna like that,
but I still don't think the situation is going to
impact his draft stock. If say, just for example, just
you know, we're just playing this out hypothetically, Jaalen Carter
goes number two, then you've got Arizona sitting at three.

(44:31):
Unless somebody jumps up with Arizona at three. Arizona's not
taking a quarterback, so you've got Indie at four. Indie
could jump up a spot. There is a real possibility
that Anthony Richardson is sitting there at five with the
Seattle Seahawks, a Seattle Seahawks team who's already been vocal
about the fact that they find themselves in a unique

(44:52):
situation to be able to potentially take a quarterback high
atop the draft because they own that pick courtesy of
the diaper fire season. The Denver Broncos rolled out and
their former quarterback Russell Wilson. They got that number one
pick and they're sitting at five and they've got Geno Smith,
who they loved what he did last year. They loved

(45:12):
Gino Smith as a player. But the Seattle Seahawks look
at Gino Smith and go, we're not going to give
him a six year, three hundred million dollars deal. It's
probably going to be a shorter term deal or refranchise him.
So if you can draft a quarterback that high, a
quarterback with upside like Anthony Richardson, knowing you don't have

(45:32):
to play him right away because you've got Geno Smith
and he's going to play the next year or two,
and your Seattle and you can rely on the fact
that your draft class. Draft class last year was phenomenal.
There's a lot of discussion about what the New York
Jets did in the draft last year, and they deserve
all the credit in the world. It was home run
after home run. Seattle hit it out of the park.

(45:56):
Outstanding draft class. They've got some time here, They've got
some new energy in the building. I think Anthony Richardson
to Seattle is the best case scenario form And if
you look at the way the draft board shakes out,
there's a real chance that could happen. And if Anthony
Richardson is sitting there at five, I'm telling you right now,

(46:18):
I believe the Seattle Seahawks are going to pull the trigger,
and I think they're going to take him at number
five overall. And if you're looking at it the whole
thing and going oh yeah, but I mean, it's not
like we can actually make money on that or anything.
Ho ho ho ho ho ho, you just hold your
ass right there, because I got you covered. Our friends
at Draft Kings have a prop bet up which team

(46:41):
will draft Anthony Richardson, and the Seattle Seahawks are plus
five hundred five to one, a five to one pay
out if Seattle drafts Anthony Richardson, which I believe if
he's sitting there, will happen. Now, Caroline is the favorite.
I don't believe he's going to be around for Carolina
when they come up to pick, because I think there's

(47:01):
gonna be some movement in some trades unless Carolina jumps up.
Maybe that's a potential who knows, But I think Seattle
and Anthony Richardson makes way too much sense and you
can make a little bit of coin on it because
that guy, from a physical standpoint, is unmatched in this draft.
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can get me on
Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knox on Twitter.

(47:24):
So obviously it's been a really successful show thus far.
You're like, well, what are your proof, Like, what's the evidence?
You got any numbers you can throw at us, like
ratings or anything like that. No, we just got some
positive feedback. I mean, you know how we do on
this show. We like to focus on the positive stuff here.
That's how we operate. Jason writes in this cracker ass

(47:45):
bleep with zero athleticism, he's a failure and a broke
gass loser version of the poser John Morant. You failed,
f boy. This guy's a terrorist. By the way, in
the tweet, he has included a picture of John Morant

(48:05):
dressed up like John Wick with a hand cannon in
his in his right hand. So, I mean, at least
it's accurate based on some of the other developments of
the John Morant situation, as he's been suspended by the
Memphis Grizzlies because apparently going on Instagram Live and showing
off your gun at five in the morning after a

(48:29):
game on the heels of reports of you threatening a
security guard in a mall and then pulling a gun
out on a seventeen year old in your own home,
Apparently going on Instagram Live with that same hand cannon
on video is not a good look for John Morant.
Thus he's been suspended a couple of games. Brian writes

(48:49):
in Jonas wishes he was an actual goon instead of
a needle bleep, smaller than the bleep duo of Kyler Young,
Kyler Murray and Bryce Young. He said that at least
it's creative. He's got a picture of Kyler Murray and

(49:13):
Bryce Young side by side, but they look like little
starting lineup figures from back in the day. And then
he's also got a picture or he's got the egg
plant emoji included in his tweet, so every food group
is represented there in that tweet. If you'd like to
see the unedited versions of those and the positive feedback
on this show, you can do that at the Jonas
Knocks on Twitter, that is, at the Jonah Snocks on Twitter.

(49:33):
You don't have to follow me. I don't care. And
if you're wondering what you do radio, why don't you
have a blue check mark? Because I'm not paying so
the color blue shows up on my app not doing it.
I don't care. I don't And if they're going to
charge me eight dollars a month or whatever it is
for a blue check mark, I'd rather just get rid
of Twitter altogether. But stuff like that makes worth sticking

(49:56):
around for. I'll be honest with you, that's sort of
positive feedback. So we again going to take you all
the way through the rest of the hour, and we'll
keep you posting on any more of those upbeat tweets
from fans of the show here on FSR. Coming up
next though, here from the Tireract dot Com Studios. Somebody
in the NFL is definitely feeling the heat. They know
their job is on the line, and we've got proof.

(50:17):
We've got actual proof at yours right here on FSR.
Jonahs Knocks Fox Sports Radio from the Tireract dot Com
Studios coming up in a little over ten minutes from now,
We are going to have the very latest on a
bizarre situation in the NFL that, now that you look

(50:40):
back on it upon further review, it doesn't make any
sense whatsoever at all on any level. But we'll get
into that for you again coming up here a little
over ten minutes from now on FSR. Before we get
to this story in the NFL, though, in which somebody
is apparently feeling the heat, want to let you know
we are brought to you by the Dollar Shave Club.
Still over paying for a raise or in this economy
gross With dollars Shave Club, you can get a top

(51:03):
shelf shave at a regular 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 if you
were wondering whether or not the window for the Dallas
Cowboys was closing in the National Football League, you don't
have to worry anymore, because worried about that point, it's happening,

(51:26):
and people are starting to feel the heat there. They're
starting to really feel the heat, most notably people like
Mike McCarthy, the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Now
Mike McCarthy talked about the situation in Dallas when it
comes to play calling and taking over the play calling

(51:48):
duties and just what that's gonna look like and how
much fun that's been. So let's first take a listen
to the Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. In fact, let's
not even listen to Mike McCarthy. I don't want to
listen to Mike mccarth. I mean, you know, just like,
who wants to listen to Mike McCarthy, Like, definitely not me,
that's for sure. No, absolutely not. But Mike McCarthy talked
about how excited he is about the opportunity to call plays.

(52:11):
He talked about how excited he is about taking over
the play calling duties and what they're going to do different,
And then he also talked about the difference between him
and Kellen Moore, the former offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys.
Let's just say that Mike McCarthy took a little bit
of a shot at Kellen Moore when it comes to

(52:35):
the differences between those two. Quote, Kellen wants to light
the scoreboard up, but I want him to run the
damn ball so I can rest my defense. I think
when you're a coordinator, you know, but you're in charge
of the offense. Being a head coach and being a
play caller, you're a little more in tune with everything.

(52:59):
So anybody that's wondering whether or not Mike McCarthy is
starting to feel a little bit of the pressure and
some of the heat of the Dallas Rays that are
focused upon him courtesy of Jerry Jones and company. That
right there is exhibit A. He knows that was my
one fall guy. I'm not going to have another one
because what he's saying is Kellen Moore was the problem

(53:21):
and it wasn't me, and those problems will subside because
now I'm the play caller and I'm the one making
the call on offense. Otherwise, what are you doing? Kellen
Moore left? You guys want a lot of games together.
You went to the playoffs twice. Now, the final play

(53:41):
against the San Francisco forty nine Ers, not this past postseason,
but the postseason before not ideal, followed up by some
not ideal moments in the game against the forty nine
ers this past playoffs. So I mean, listen, Kellen Moore
and you won a lot of games together. You guys
scored a lot of points. You did so under you know,

(54:02):
kind of difficult circumstances at times. I mean, Cooper Rush
was phenomenal and his time playing for the Dallas Cowboys.
You did that with a backup quarterback. I mean, there's
a lot of positives to take from it. Why would
Mike McCarthy air out a former offensive coordinator in the
fashion he did this week? Because he wants you to
know that the reason the Cowboys haven't done what they've

(54:22):
needed to do, which is go back to a conference championship,
gamers super Bowl, is not on Mike McCarthy. That's on
Kellen Moore. That's what that was all about. Otherwise, what's
the point he left? You're Colin plays If it's so
much fun and you're so happy, what do you care
what happened with Kellen Moore? Why is that even a
topic of conversation. This is it for the Dallas Cowboys.

(54:47):
There is no more after this. So you've got Mike
McCarthy sitting there talking about play calling and how much
funny is knowing that his replacement is still on the staff,
and that's dan In. Everybody thought Sean Payton was the
guy that Sean Payton and his time in Dallas and
his relationship with Jerry Jones, and he's an offensive guy

(55:11):
and he's had success and he's won a Super Bowl
and Jerry Jones paid a heavy price to keep him
the last time that he was with Dallas because the
Raiders wanted to hire Sean Payton and Jerry Jones made
him the highest paid coordinator in the NFL at the time.
Everybody just tied it all together and said, Sean Payton
to the Cowboys make sense. And now Sean Payton's in Denver.

(55:33):
So why would dan Quinn turn down multiple opportunities to
be a head coach? Dan Quinn could have been a
head coach last offseason, and he could have been a
head coach this offseason. He interviewed for jobs, He had
multiple interviews with teams. They brought him back twice in
some cases. Why would he decide to go back to

(55:53):
Dallas for another run. Because there's probably the feeling that
if things go sideways, dan Quinn's going to take over
that gig. And I think Mike McCarthy knows it, and
he has no choice but to know it because Jerry
Jones won't stop talking about how much he loves Dan
Quinn and when Jerry Jones. We discussed this before the

(56:15):
season last year, when Jerry Jones gets frustrated with the
media talking about all my I mean, I don't know
why this is even a discussion. What are we talking
about Mike McCarthy's job status. For dude, you make it
a discussion. That's the oldest trick in the Cowboy book.
That's why they do multiple interviews a week on local
radio on Dallas. It's what Jerry Jones does. If he's

(56:35):
not talking about how great his roster is and how
much he's got a coordinator who should be a head coach,
he's talking about glory holes, and he's speaking in Spanish,
and he's got all sorts of other stuff going on.
It's strange. I'm not making this up. Jerry Jones is
on record talking about stuff like that. He's made multiple
appearances on this show talking about weird stuff like that.

(56:57):
That damn Jerry Jones. I'm telling you, our system is
riddled with Jerry Jones saying things that are a little
bit awkward all over the place. We've got Jerry Jones
sound drops settled just a little bit Jesus, I won't
make some glorious see, I guess I'm talking about Bud
Dalling yep to Dallas Cowboys all over. Those are none

(57:26):
of that is made up. So this is part for
the course when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. So
if you've found it a little bit odd that Mike
McCarthy took such an aggressive approach when talking about his
former offensive coordinator and talking about how much fun he's
having and how it's going to be better for Dak
Prescott and all that I have, you found that a
little bit bizarre, don't find it bizarre at all. That's

(57:48):
what happens when you've got an owner like Jerry Jones
who's hinted at your replacement and kept him around multiple
years in a row, and you know this is it,
and for good reason. Look around the NFC. If Aaron
Rodgers goes into hibernation for another four day weekend in

(58:08):
some gopher hole in Oregon and pops out and decides,
you know what, I just saw my shadow. I'd like
to come play for another six months, but I want
to go do it somewhere else, not in the NFC.
Look around the NFC right now who's a threat. Philadelphia
is going to lose a ton of players and Dallas

(58:28):
matches up well with them. Do you expect the Giants
to do what they did last year? Washington, we don't
know what the hell is going on. If Rogers leaves
Green Bay, what the hell's the NFC North. I don't
think I like her cousins, but I don't think he
strikes fearing anybody. Detroit's a fun team, but I wouldn't
look at them as being the heir apparent to the

(58:49):
throne of the NFC champions to try and go make
a run at Philadelphia's title. The NFC South is a disaster.
The NFC west'ti up and down. Arizona is projected to
be the worst team in the NFL. Matt Stafford can't
stay healthy, the Niners have a quarterback issue, and Seattle's

(59:10):
got Geno Smith. If you're the Dallas Cowboys, excuses are out.
It's over. This is it. That's why Mike McCarthy sounds
like he's feeling the heat, because he is that if
he doesn't get it done this year, he knows there's
a very strong chance he's out of a job. And
Dan Quinn's gonna take over the reins. Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks
at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. All right, it's coming

(59:31):
up next. There was a situation that took place in
the NFL last year that, upon further review, makes no
sense whatsoever. I'll tell you what that is right here
on fs are. But for all the latest from around
the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen, I want you
to roll out the red carpets in your ears, some cowboys.
I want you, whether you're Jerry Jones in the middle

(59:52):
of a bar or a cantina and Tijuana, or you're
Mike McCarthy and you're at the combine in Indianapolis, I
don't care who you are. I want you to look around,
open up those ears, and welcome in the Gestabo curtain
of sports talk radio. Brian Finn, look at you, Jonas.

(01:00:16):
And by the way, you brought up Yeah, I know
you brought a tiawan. I remember the last time I
was there, I got pulled over for no reason? Yeah,
probably what was it? The only person that that happened too.
Can't can't imagine why that would happen. By the way
that I pronounced that correctly is a Gestavo, curt I
don't think you did. Okay, yeah, but you made avaliant attempt.
How what's the proper pronunciation? Event? First of all, I
don't even I don't even think I've heard of that name.

(01:00:38):
That's nothing recent. What do you mean? He's a Brazilian
former number one tennis player of the world. What year
he won the French Open singles title three times? He
was the Tennis Masters Cup champion in two thousand, he
won twenty singles and eight doubles titles. He didn't know that? Wow? Wow, man,
you got I mean, that's You're absolutely correct. I'm looking

(01:00:58):
at him. Is that the pronoun I can I'm almost
positive that's a proper pronouncing. Ut all right? Can I
redo that? We'll fix it on the podcast? All right?
Three two, I present to you the Gstavo Quertin of
Sports radio Brian Finley Jonas. I might say it was yeah,

(01:01:23):
but I didn't know he was Italian. But that's fine.
You've got to working at a book, Appo. That's guys
won three French Open titles and you've disgraced him and
said he's basically a waiter at book A Beppo. Maybe
it's Michelli's right up the road from here in North Hollywood.
Have you ever been there? By the way, they got
singing waiters. That's high class stuff, Jonas, that you do,

(01:01:45):
I'm more a man of the people. I don't do
any of that kind of stuff. It's not really high class. Really, no,
it's not. I have a I have a strict rule,
and I'm not saying this about Michelli's, but I'll just
point out some other places. If you need a way
to sing, or you need to have like a mariachi
band come to the table while they're making you guacamole,

(01:02:10):
I'm like, that's one of the in laws. If all
of that is happening on a Wednesday night, that's probably
an indicator that the food there sucks, all right, because
you don't need all the pomp and circumstance if you've
got quality food. I'm not saying that about Machelli's, right.
It's a fine establishment, all right, but it's not the
high dollar place that you're thinking of. Let me ask
you this, Jonas. When you were working as a busboy

(01:02:33):
at TJI Fridays, how many times would you have to
sing somebody happy Birthday for one of the customers that
wanted to have their birthday celebrated there. Oh god, it
was a lot of the times people are lying, they
don't it's not really their birthday. They just want to
free dessert because they think like getting that free dessert
is like the Kreme de la krem of everything that

(01:02:54):
could happen at a restaurant experience, not realizing that that
free dessert is just like I mean, it's basically a
hostess snack with a cherry on top. It's not really
that great, but you go out there and you sing
Happy Happy Bertha. Like I think I'd probably know some
of the songs as well too, But yeah, it would
be at least a couple times a night for sure.
You also congrats. I heard that when you were there

(01:03:15):
you got a promotion to when you were working at
TGI Fridays, you were wearing the pouch sort of the
fanny pack, and there were the the kid toy balloons
that you would blow up for the kids. You go
around the TJA Fridays and you the kids would say
I want I want you to blow up a dog
for me, and I want you to do that you
had all those little balloon Definitely not They're coming out

(01:03:37):
of your pouch. Yeah, there's no fanny paction. What do
you think this is? What do you think I'm I'm
on rollerblades at some beach bar. There's no fanny pack.
Like you wear an apron, you put napkins and a
squirt bottle in and you wear flair, which are suspenders
with like different buttons on them. But I was real Rebelt.
Let's go live to our I wear Flair Insider. I

(01:04:00):
was Sam for the later Sam Well. He said, Flaire
made me think of office space where that's what it is. Yeah,
like they have the fake Yeah you APPLEBCJ frids, that's
what it's. It's a play on You have to have
a certain numbers. You don't have enough pieces. I swear
to god that was in the instruction and you had
to have fourteen pieces in flare. Yeah, so you had
to have seven on each side. Guess what I did, Yeah,

(01:04:20):
less than fourteen. I'm a rebel. It's a whole bender. Yep.
I have a huge pin collection, So I would have
no problem working at one of those chain restaurants. That's
the positive deter And next on the least surprising development
on the show. I always Sam's got a huge pin collection.
Should bring it into time and now you should wore
you you absolutely should. Actually, why do you have somebody pins?

(01:04:42):
Why do I have like eight collections of different shots keys?
I mean, I don't know, it's just I collect things.
What do you a hoarder? I live in a hobbit
hole and a hoard Okay, yeah, that's fine. How you
triple h yep, hobbit hole order. Yep, that's true. It
was pretty cool, Jonas because when you're working in Fridays,
you also got the referee shirt that you'd wear around

(01:05:03):
that was part of your costume when you were working there.
I think that's foot Locker or Buffalo Wild Wings as that.
I don't think I had a referee shirt. Yeah. How
often would you spit in somebody's food? Never? Never? You
didn't do a disrespect? Okay now I never did that. Ever,
some restaurant does have flort of a shirt that looks
it's like black and white stripes. Yeah, I think it
was like a Buffalo Wild Wings or a foot Locker does. Yes, yeah,

(01:05:25):
but you have to think about it. I thought you
worked at foot locker. You strike me as somebody that
does no. No, definitely locker. I'm playing not a foot locker, gotcha?
Well you usually don't wear shoes at all anywhere. Whin's
your stand up special? I gotta know you are killing
me today. Thank you. I might have to join Rob
Parker then maybe open up for him whenever he has
his opening act and goes do that. Never by the

(01:05:51):
fact that job Rant just got suspended two games because
he was showing up his hand cannon on insta chat live.
Phitley's talking about me having a foot fetish. Your real
class act had a glyzzy in my mouth. Oh gosh.
The question is how do I make that seamless transition
into a hard news story that's going to be interesting.

(01:06:11):
I don't think we're on the air, are we now? Okay, okay,
all right, well we'll clean this up after this. We'll
clean this up with a podcast. But yeah, Memphis Grizzlies,
they are keeping John Morant away from the team for
at least the next two games. And as Jonas mentioned,
this comes after Morant went on Instagram live early this
morning from a nightclub wielding a gun. He was also

(01:06:32):
topless and singing along with rap songs. His teammate Brandon
Clark is not coming back this season. That's because of
a left achilles tear and I sound like somebody out
of an infomercial. But wait, there's more more news involving
the Grizzlies. Dylan Brooks, who Jonas mentioned earlier on in
the program, is going to be suspended one game with
no compensation for getting his sixteenth technical foul this season.

(01:06:56):
From now on, for every two more technical fouls he
receives another one game suspension comes with no pay. So
that is what's coming for the Grizzlies. A lot of
news and nothing, A whole lot positive on that front.
At the NFL combine, as Jonas was referencing as well,
Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. I think Jonas he said he

(01:07:16):
was the next JaMarcus Russell. But by the way, is
vertical leap set a record for quarterbacks forty point five inches.
This was just recorded today in Indianapolis. Richardson one of
the highly talented qbs entering the draft. And lastly, one
score out of college basketball where Number two Alabama coming

(01:07:37):
up short sixty seven to sixty one on the road
against Number twenty four Texas A and m as Wade Taylor.
The four took a blowtorch to Nadoates and that defense
sixty seven to sixty one one a way to wrap
up the regular season. Four Obama and as they take
their fifth l of the season to the forehead back
to a guy who has many tattoos and is worrying

(01:08:00):
cleats while doing the broadcast here at the Fox Sports
Radio Studios, Jonas Knox, Thank you, Brian Jonas Knox here
on FSR. By the way, we are going to have
another edition of the Scraps coming up at about ten
minutes from now from the ti iraq dot com studios.
Things in the world of sports we have not had
a chance to get to. We will speak the truth
on those that'll be happening here again ten minutes from
now here on FSR. SO, Jeff Howe of The Athletic

(01:08:25):
says that Odell Beckham Junior didn't sign with anybody last
season because he wanted to fully recover from ACL surgery.
Huh So, then what the hell was that free agent
tour he went on last year? Remember the one where
he turned into the tool of the century on the

(01:08:46):
airplane he got kicked off. He was in Miami or
someplace like that, and they didn't know whether or not
he was on drugs, or whether or not he was hungover,
or whether or not he had taken something. And then
he got me through through a fit and then everybody
had to wait. You know, God forbid, somebody's got a
connect or flight they need to catch. But don't worry.
Odell Beckham Junior has got to play the victim as

(01:09:07):
he's getting kicked off the plane because he's not cooperating
for putting a seatbeld on or whatever it is. What
do you call all the visits he took. He went
to Buffalo was the Giants. The Cowboys were rumored all
of that. Remember the Rams, Remember remember that big thing
where Odell Beckham Junior was watching the first game of
the year the Bills and Rams, and he said, well,

(01:09:28):
whoever wins this game, that's who all signed with. And
remember Sean McVay and the Rams kept a jersey open,
his jersey up in his locker. Well, we're keeping a
locker open for Odell Beckham Junior. And now it comes
out he didn't plan on signing with anybody anyways, because
he wanted to fully recover from ACL surgery, So what
the hell was last year? Did he need attention that

(01:09:51):
bad that he just wanted to keep his name in
the mix, not really not really planning on coming back,
but he just wanted to be talked about a bunch
the hell is that? That's why when the initial report
came out about Odell Beckham Junior later in the season,
everyone's like, oh, ob j which team could he help?
Could be? Could he be the difference maker and getting

(01:10:12):
one team over the hump in the Super Bowl and
one team not? Could? He remember asking like is he healthy?
Like I mean he suffered the injury in February, Everyone's
talking like seven eight months later, like, oh man, Odell
Beckham right around the corner. I remember saying on the show, like,
hold on a second, is he even ready to go?

(01:10:32):
Why is this even a topic of conversation? And now
you find out after the season's over he didn't plan
on signing with anybody anyways because he wanted to fully
recover from ACL surgery. So what the f was that?
Like now that you look back on it, what a
waste of time. Middle of the season and people are

(01:10:54):
spending time talking about whether or not Odell Beckham's going
to come back and play, and as it turns out,
it was never gonna happen. Anyways, what are we doing? Like,
what's the point? So it's like your your buddy telling you, like,
hey man, when I win the lotto, I've already got

(01:11:16):
the designs laid out for what your house is gonna
look like. Oh, it's sweet. Do you win the lotto
yet No, I don't even play. Huh, Well, what a
waste of time? Like, it's cool you put together these
designs for win. You win the lotto, but you don't
even play, So what a waste of time? That whole
Odell Beckham story free agent tour crap bag that we

(01:11:38):
were served last season late in the year was a
giant waste of time. And this is the proof. Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the Jonas
Knox coming up next here from the Tirack dot Com studios.
It is the scraps things in the world of sports
we have not had a chance to get to and
beyond as we put a bowl on this on this
Saturday for you. That's next here FSR. It's this fuel man.

(01:12:05):
I remember this song when I was like twenty years old, right, Sam, Yeah,
if you'll had some good songs, not bad. It's better
than some of the other crap you've played on this show.
What was that bad song you played from after seven
Dust or whatever they're called. Was it Avenge Sevenfold? Yeah? Yeah,

(01:12:26):
that song sucked all right? Jonas knocks here on FSR.
You can listen to this show as always on the
iHeart Radio out By the way, if you missed any
of this show, you can check out the podcast at
Fox Sports Radio dot com. It'll be posted up shortly
after we go off the air and coming up here
in a little over ten minutes from now from the
tirerack dot com studio. Stick around because it's Steve Hartman

(01:12:50):
and Bucky Bros. My old radio wife, Fucky Brooks and

(01:13:10):
Steve Hartman coming up in a little over ten minutes
from now. But right now it is time to put
a bow on this bad boy. Was something we do
every single week, and it's called this Jonas, How could
you not get to? These stories are the scraps And
for that we turn it over to our executive producer,

(01:13:32):
a man who violently ripped Ryan burshing her out of
his chair. And said, go bitch about the vending machine
somewhere else. I'm punk assa through him through the window
and said, get your ass back to Canoga Park. Do
you know how many text messages I got about that
vending machine this week? It's obscene, all right? First of all,
why are they raising the prices on the damn bag? Yeah,

(01:13:52):
I mean I'd like to know that too. I mean,
the gas prices aren't enough now the vending machine hoarders
have to come in here. And you know, it's like
money when when David Justice tries to buy a pepsi
or tries to get a pepsi out of the viney machine,
and he's like, you gotta pay for that with the Okuindays,
it's so done. Yeah, for the fond man, this is ridiculous.
You better not tell Rob Parker. He'll have that thing
removed from the building. He'll just put a Rob Parker

(01:14:14):
owned viney machine in there. Yeah, Rob. Rob complains about
the prices of food items in the area, yet he'll
put a patched on odd couple shirt or sweater up
in the break room and say happy holidays. That's right, um,
bow Benson, what do we got all right? Texas running
back Bjean Robinson says that his versatility as a player,

(01:14:36):
in his willingness to do things like lineup outside as
a wide receiver, makes him worth drafting with a high
pick in this year's NFL draft Listen, he is supposed
to be the top guy at the position. There's a
lot of people who look at that and say, where's
he gonna go? Like, what team makes the most sense?
You can actually bet on this because it's one of
the more interesting players in the draft because you draft

(01:15:01):
him and he's right away a playmaker and a difference maker.
And the team that's favored to draft him right now
on DraftKings is Philadelphia, sitting at plus three hundred. I
would love to see him in Buffalo. Buffalo's also on
the list. If the Bills can grab him. To me,
you got to figure out a way to have somebody
other than Josh Allen run the football. He can't hold

(01:15:24):
up physically and can't last. If he's going to continue
to be your leading rusher seemingly every single week, he's
going to take a beating. You've seen him. You've seen
him get up slowly at times. Later in the year,
you saw him deal with that arm injury. Now the
arm injury suffered on a hit in the pocket, but
physically from a physical standpoint, when it comes to Josh Allen,

(01:15:45):
I'd rather see the guy have some help in the backfield.
And if Bijean Robinson ends up with the Bills and
you can bet on it at plus five fifty right now,
one hundred wins five fifty in return to me, that's
a home run pick. What else we got? Alabama's Brandon
Miller is actually not among the finalists for the Wouldn't Award,
given to the nation's best college hoops player. I think

(01:16:06):
for obvious reasons as to why he's not on there. Yeah, well,
I don't know man like that. He probably should be,
but I can see why they wouldn't put him there.
But it's it's weird. The whole situation is awkward, and
it like, I don't if his involvement was what he

(01:16:27):
says it was, and they didn't charge him with anything
because there's nothing to charge him with. I personally don't
have a problem with him still playing now, them still
doing the if they want to call it, the UFC
Octagon pat down. Afterwards, after all that stuff played out,
that's just a clear blind spot that you are just

(01:16:49):
simply not thinking. You know, this is kind of a
bad look, kind of a bad look if we go
in this direction. But I can see why somebody would
look at this and say we don't want him representing
the sport at the high level for the highest award
with all this stuff in the background. Although there's been
NBA scouts from teams picking in the lottery that have
said none of this is going to impact his draft stock.

(01:17:11):
They love him as a player, they love the way
he responded on the floor to what happened, especially that
game against South Carolina. So still seems like it's not
gonna hurt him in that department, and he's going to
go really high in the draft this upcoming season. All right,
last one here. The San Diego Padres this offseason spent
like a billion dollars. Yeah, but that did not stop
them from being no hit by the Cubs on Friday night,

(01:17:33):
the first spring training no hitter since twenty seventeen. And
I was do you have any thoughts on that one? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean, listen, congratulations to the Chicago Cubs. That was
a huge win for them and a huge no hitter. Now,
I'm just wondering where there are other fifty wins this
season are coming from, because that's about all they're gonna
get that. Listen, we're gonna be excited all we want.

(01:17:53):
You know. My favorite part, though I didn't get a
chance to talk about this last week, this is tremendous
Cubs fans, those fanboy geeks who listen to this crummy
ass song after they win games at Wrigley Field, were
crying because Wilson Contreras, their former catcher, said that the
Cardinals were a better organization. How could he? What do

(01:18:17):
you mean, how can he tell the truth? God forbid
he tell the truth. You're just now coming to terms
of the fact that the Cardinals are a better organization.
Why do you think they win every year and the
Cubs take one hundred and eight to win and then
sell everybody off at a trade deadline a couple of
weeks later. Those are the facts. Zodas son of a Bitch,
