Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports rad Four time major champ
Brooks Kepka with the lead here early goings of the
third round at the Masters, an event he has never won.
He is thirteen under overall, one under on his day
through three holes. Birdie the second the par five, and
John ram Is in second solo second, two shots behind

(00:21):
at eleven under. Both are one under for their days
and through three holes. By the way, Tiger woods making
the cut, and he did so, and because of things
not finishing that second round until today, Tiger had to
start his third round on the back nine and he
bogee ten pars on eleven and twelve. He is now
on thirteen the par five, and as far as where

(00:43):
he stands, he is four over for the tournament and
one over four the day through three holes elsewhere. According
to ESPN, Grizzly center Stephen Adams is probably going to
miss the postseason with his right knee injury. He's been
out since January. I'm Brian Fenling, what a title? Are
you ready? Prind Gartner, the Prince of Darkness? The Prints

(01:05):
of Darkness is in the house. I'm the man up
in his face. Jonas knocks. I don't shan't choosing the
more this well, my god, Jonas Knocks is coming through
your speakers like the right cross from a boxer that

Now lie from the ti iraq dot com studio. So,

(01:28):
Fox Sports Radio, what are you talking about? What is
this your first day on the job. Here's Jonas Knocks
scanting a fast playing Grandma the Bingo game and reading
them all. So we've got ourselves a little bit of

(01:53):
an update. In fact, I don't even know if you
actually want to call it an update. It's a proclamation,
another guarantee, a prediction if you will on a major
story in the world of sports. We'll get into that
for you 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 iHeartRadio app. You

(02:35):
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti irac
dot com the way tire buying should be. So there's
a story in the NFL that I actually think relates
to you in a lot of ways. And I'm not
pointing fingers. I'm not trying to shame anybody because I've
been there. We've all been there, all right. So here

(02:56):
is the very latest on the Aaron Rodgers saga, because
we've got a little little bit of a twist here.
So Joe Douglas, the general manager for the Jets, was
at an event last night and he predicted Aaron Rodgers
is going to be here, like that was his big prediction.

(03:17):
So let's listen to Jets GM Joe Douglas at an
event in New York where you got a bunch of
you know, fireman ed knockoffs and ripoffs who are sitting
on shoulders trying to do the Jets Jets Jets Jets
chant and uh. And this was Joe Douglas really hyping
up the crowd when it came to the subject of

(03:39):
Aaron Rodgers Rogers, I mean Jets. I mean, it sounded
like he was at WrestleMania. It was just phenomenal stuff there.
So Joe Douglas is calling a shot. You got boomsiasin

(04:01):
who's m seeing it, and everybody's excited. They really want
this stuff to happen with Aaron Rodgers. And then you've
got Alan Lazard, who just signed a deal with the
Jets not long ago. He's posting pictures of him and
Rodgers working out together. I mean, everything is in place,
It's all there. The Packers have talked about it, The

(04:24):
Jets have talked about it, Rogers has talked about it.
Players on both sides have talked about it. You've got
former Packers who have signed with the Jets. You've got
the general manager of the Jets predicting it at an
event Friday night. Everybody's on board. Everything is in place,

(04:46):
except for the actual thing that matters most, which is
Aaron Rodgers actually being a Jet. That's the one little
hang up here, that's the one little issue, the one
little hang up. And this is where it ties back
to you and to me, because we've all been in
this situation. You ever been dead set on getting back

(05:06):
into shape, you ever plan on it? You know, well,
my diet, my workout starts Monday, My diet starts Monday.
It could be January first, it could be whatever the
case may be. You know, it's the weather starting to
warm up in certain parts of the country. It's it's
gonna be lake season soon. Like that was always a
target date for a bunch of buddies of mine. Like

(05:27):
once you hit about March, it was like, all right,
I gotta get back into shape because we're gonna be
go into the lake this summer. Blah blah blah, all
that same old crap. We've all been there, everybody's done it.
And so what do you do. You want to get
into shape, You got a plan in place, you pick
your target date, and so what do you do. You
go out to the grocery store. You buy a bunch

(05:48):
of healthy food, you know, you get a bunch of salads,
maybe pre made salads. You don't want you don't want
to have a dressing that's gonna be too harsh. So
what do you do? Go you get some balsamic vinaigrette.
You portion everything out, you buy a bunch of chicken breasts,
you get all your greens, you get everything dialed in,

(06:10):
and then you're like, you know what, I need some
new workout clothes. I gotta be ready to go when
this workout starts on Monday. And so you go to
the store. Maybe go to an outlet somewhere where it's
kind of cheaper, maybe a Ross Dress for less where
you can find all the other fun stuff there. Maybe
a Marshals or a Burlington if they've got it in
your area, all fine establishments. You go out, you buy

(06:32):
a bunch of workout clothes, and you've got everything in place,
and then about a week later, you're throwing the food
out because you never ate it. You know, tags are
still on the clothes, it's all kind of sitting there.
Maybe it's still in the plastic bag that you paid
ten cents for. When you walked out, all of that
stuff that was in place, everything was lined up, it

(06:54):
was perfect. You had it all except for the actual
working out and needing healthy and all the other stuff.
That's where we're at. Aaron Rodgers is still not a jet.
The trade still hasn't happened yet. You've got everybody talking
about it, you've got everybody predicting it, you've got everybody

(07:15):
talking about how good the Jets are going to be,
except for the actual thing that matters most. And at
some point, the Jets and the Packers gotta get this
done because we've been hearing it for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and it's compensation, and it's a first round pick,

(07:37):
and you've gotten multiple twos, and you've got blaw all
the other things that are going along with At some point,
you gotta get it done. Now. It's not like the
season is going to start right around the corner. But
wouldn't you think if there was going to be draft
compensation thrown in that maybe the Green Bay Packers would
like to have a little bit of that compensation with

(07:58):
the draft that's coming up, well, you know, later this month.
So again, Joe Douglas is talking about it, Alan Lazard's
talking about it, He's posting pictures. You've got Rogers has
set his piece, everybody has set his piece. They've all
gone out, they've bought the healthy food, they've bought the

(08:19):
workout clothes. Everything is set for the diet to start
on Monday, and all they keep doing every single week
is throwing food away and staring at a bunch of
clothes in a plastic bag with the tag still on.
You gotta get it done at some point, because the
thing that matters most still hasn't happened. Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio. I would like to go ahead and apologize

(08:39):
in advance for something here. I was very bullish on something. Now,
if you've ever listened to this show before, you know,
throughout the course of my time here at Fox Sports Radio,
the one thing that I think I do differently than
anybody else is I will own up to how bad
I am at some of my predictions. I will absolutely
do that, and I will wear with a badge of honor.

(09:01):
Right case in point, what's happened with Rory McElroy, the
Masters guy didn't make the cut. You've got players in
their sixties who made the cut. Rory McElroy didn't. But
of course that was my pick for the Masters. So
it's all fun. It's great, I mean, it is just
the whole thing's fun. It's entertaining, it's enjoyable. Everybody gets
a kick out of it. But I own up to
the fact that sometimes I'll make mistakes. In fact, I

(09:23):
want to scratch sometimes will take that out of the podcast.
Majority of the time, I'll make mistakes awful, terrible, atrocious.
But I was bullish on something a couple of weeks ago,
and I still would lean in this direction. But I
would like to just say that my confidence in something
happening in the NFL has really plummeted over the past

(09:46):
forty eight to seventy two hours. So the number one
pick is down to two players. Let's just say what
it is. It's gonna be CJ. Stroud or it's gonna
be Bryce Young. And once the Carolina Panthers made a
deal to move up to number one, all of a sudden,
the betting odds shifted dramatically to c J. Strout to

(10:10):
be the number one pick. I mean, Bryce Young was
the guy all along. Even after Bryce Young went to
the combine and he had the same measurables as a
jockey at Santa Anita Racetrack, it didn't matter all of
that stuff. Didn't matter his height, his weight, none of

(10:30):
that stuff mattered. Bryce Young was still the favorite to
go number one overall, and to go number one overall
no matter what that was the odds, and then Carolina
made the trade, and all of a sudden the betting
market completely shifted and switched over. And you could say, well,
it's a betting market, what does that mean? Well, the
betting market kind of tells you. It gives you an

(10:52):
idea where they think things are going to be or
how things are going to happen. It's why there are odds.
And when the odds shift dramatic radically from one player
to another off a trade, that tells you that that
information has gotten to somebody, because that movement is based
on that information. And I took it as well. Clearly CJ.

(11:18):
Stroud's going to be the number one pick. The odds
shifted dramatically, and in fact I even said the Houston
Texans are going to be the big winner here, because
the Texans would have taken Bryce Young number one if
they were picking there anyways. So now, because Carolina fell
in love with CJ. Stroud and the size difference between
him and Bryce Young, Houston without having to give up

(11:40):
all of that, what Carolina gave up to move up
to number one is still going to get their guy.
The Houston Texans are finally going to catch a break,
and then all of a sudden, over the past couple
of days, some more people started to look into this,
and they started to do some more digging, and they
started to ask around, and well, let's just say that

(12:01):
the betting odds have now shifted dramatically again in the
other direction to where CJ. Stroud is only a slight
favorite with Bryce Young money really pouring in. And we
were talking with Albert Breer this week on Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe, and Albert Brier was saying,
everything felt like it was going to go the direction
of CJ. Stroud and Albert Breer is in Ohio state

(12:23):
alum love CJ. Stroud. He's always pumping up the Buckeyes.
And apparently Bryce Young blew Frank Reich in the organization
away when they sat down and talked to them, blew
them away. There's some sort of a test they do.
I don't know if it's like an sat or the
wonder lick or the cow lick or who the hell

(12:44):
knows what the salt lick, whatever tests they do at
the NFL when they talk with these guys, whatever they do,
apparently Bryce Young scored off the charts like Joe Burrow territory,
and now you're seeing all of this money moving the
other direction. So all I'm telling you is, I would

(13:05):
like to apologize if you went heavy in the direction
of CJ. Stroud because you thought he was going to
be the number one pick based on recent events, based
on recent line movement, and based on recent opinions of
people who are in the know around the NFL, that
may not be the case. So I apologize if you
made that decision and you went in the direction of CJ.

(13:26):
Stroud number one overall, but I'm not going to take
full blame for it, because if you've listened to this show,
as I mentioned, over the past couple of years or
a few years, or since we started this show a
long ass time ago here at FSR, you know I'm
terrible at this stuff, So blame yourself, don't blame me.

Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio by the way, coming up
in we'll call it a little over ten minutes from now.
There is a man, oh man, things are getting even worse.
There is a situation in the world of sports where look,

(15:42):
we're going to talk about, you know, misery loving company. Well,
somebody else has got some company when it comes to
dysfunction in the world of sports. So we'll have that
for you here again a little over ten minutes from
now from the tire rack dot Com studios. By the way,
iowa Sam playing Pearl Jam as we came back into break.
Is that dissident? Yeah? You were playing? Yeah, I was Sam.

(16:03):
Is that what that was? Yeah? Thank you? I was Sam.
Who's trying on a Draymond Green impression here on the show.
He doesn't have a whole lot to speak. Yeah, listen,
there's nothing wrong with that. You like a ventriloquist, you know, right, Yes,
nothing wrong with that at all. But I would say
this a little like a little tip out there, little
pro tip for any of you people who are planning

(16:25):
on doing karaoke anytime soon. If you want to do
a karaoke song and make people think, and I sound
just like the people singing this Yellow Leadbetter by Pearl Jam,
because nobody has any idea what the lyrics are. They
don't know what Eddie Vetter is saying. And you don't
really have to hit any high octaves. Just listen to

(16:46):
Yellow Leadbetter by Pearl Jam and at some point maybe
we'll play it here on the show. And I'm telling
you that's the move. It's great. It's like I've told
I told people years ago, like the name bowl Bowl
and law Powell, like those are the only two times
it's okay to talk with food in your mouth because

(17:06):
it sounds the exact same. If you take the food
out and say their names, it's great. You got a
bowl of food in front of you, Yeah, Bull Bowl,
Like take a bite out of a sandwich and say
bull Bowl. Take a bite out of a sandwich and
say Bullaal Powell. Same thing. Couple of pro tips here, huh,
from a couple of words Smiths at Fox Sports Radio.

(17:27):
And I now have that piece of information if I
ever need it, Yes, and then that's what that's what
we're trying to do here trying to hand out good information,
because God forbid, if you're looking for a pick on
the Masters, don't come to me. What an embarrassment. Glory McElroy,
Rory mclroy, who who's got one one tournament to win
to go for the Grand Slam. This is the year.

(17:49):
It's Rory's year. He's plus seven fifty. Him and Scheffler
are the favorites to win the Masters. And he goes
out there and defecates down his leg at Augusta Nash
And while you got trees falling on people, all right,
that tree thing was wild, wasn't it. Yeah, other lucky
no one got killed. That was insane. It's It's great

(18:12):
how Augusta National make sure that all the fake bird
noises are lined up correctly. But you know, it's just
those giant trees that we haven't been able to look after.
I don't know what it is, just those the giant
trees that could fall over and kill somebody. I don't
know what that is, you know. But but never mind
that we've got the fake bird noises piped in and
the azaleas who probably are fake as well too. Everything's

(18:36):
lined up. We've got amen corner. But God forbid, we
can't get a tree cutting service to come in and
take care of business. And we've got people that have
got a duck for their lives while they're trying to
watch a bunch of golfers and a pair of khakis
on an April morning in augusta national go again. Who cares? All? Right? Um,

(18:57):
I want to say this, if you heard a strange
noise last night, do not be alarmed. Probably not an intruder,
Probably not a bear hopping your back fence, Probably not
a dog running around, and maybe not even a coyote.
Like there's coyotes where I live. Coyotes been known to

(19:20):
just hop in backyards and snatch up small cats, small dogs,
you know. Like I'll go on these I work out
before the show during the week, and so I'll be
on a jog getting some cardio. And after I work out,
because I work out at home, and I'll be on
a jog at like one thirty in the morning Pacific time.

(19:41):
It's weird. It's just the only way I can wake
up and feel energized for the show. And so I'll
be on these jogs and I see these coyotes and
they're just running around the neighborhood. And I can tell
these things are hungry. I mean they basically look like
you know, they were on Dallas Buyers Club. I mean,
these coyotes are looking around just just ready to feast.
They're ready to feast. There. They want nothing more than

(20:04):
to take a bite out of my ass, all right,
Like these these coyotes are hungry. And so sometimes you
have to be careful. You've got to watch what you're doing.
You got you gotta watch the bet. You gotta make
sure if you hear any loud noises, you want to
make sure that it's nothing to be alarmed with. So
I want to make sure that you know that the
loud noise you heard last night was not a coyote.

(20:25):
It wasn't a bear, it wasn't an intruder. It wasn't
even anybody who happened to drop off a package late
at night because they didn't realize it's not appropriate to do,
and all of a sudden it sent off one of
the alarms in your house. It wasn't any of that,
you know what that was? That was Jerry Jones breathing
a sigh of relief, because now the Dallas Cowboys are

(20:46):
not the most disappointing team in the city. Make some
noise for your Dallas Mavericks. Just a time of my
job by the Dallas Mavericks. Outstanding, Hey, way to go boys,
Just an outstanding job by the Dallas Mavericks who made
a big time trade. All right. They wanted to bring

(21:06):
in Kyrie Irving because they thought, listen, we gotta pair
Luca up with Kyrie Irving. That's going to make all
the sense in the world. And so they went and
they did it all right, and they kind of struggled
a little bit, but don't worry. They still had a chance.
They still had a chance to make the play and
tournament and go for everything. But now they decided, you know,
we're gonna sit five guys last night. We're gonna lose,
We're gonna get eliminated from the play and tournament, from

(21:28):
the playoffs altogether, everybody's gonna be gone. And don't worry.
But there's this lottery protection and all that. And the
only reason check this out, this is the best part.
The only reason that Dallas didn't sit Luca is because
last night was Slovenian Night at the American Airline Center. Okay,

(21:50):
that was the only reason, otherwise Luca wouldn't have played either.
Oh and then there's this new report that's out that
Luca may actually not want to be with Dallas US
long term, that he could get frustrated with the lack
of winning and the lack of being a real contender
in the National Basketball Association. So you've got all of
that piled in with the ensuing Kyrie Irving's contract and

(22:14):
whether or not they're going to sign him long term.
If you're Jerry Jones, you're looking at Mark Cuban and
you're saying, hey, thanks, dude, seriously, thank you, thank you
for that, because now we've got company for the most
disappointing team in the city. What a full fledged disaster.
All that talk, all the criticism the Dallas Cowboys get all.

(22:37):
I mean, we've got shows that dedicate themselves to debating
about the Dallas Cowboys. And you could go down the
list of issues that the Dallas Cowboys have had, whether
it's the head coach, whether it's Dak Prescott being a disappointment,
whether it's Zekiel Elliott getting a contract and then falling apart,
whether it's their decision to trade a first round pick

(22:58):
for Amari Cooper and then signing him to a deal
only to trade him again. Whether it's all the disappointments
on defense, whether it's the playoff losses, the Kellen Moore
fiasco at the end of the game against the Niners
a couple of years ago, not to be outdone with
whatever the hell happened this past year. All of that
stuff that's gone on. Jerry Jones is off field issues,

(23:19):
all of that stuff. Dallas and the Cowboys get ridiculed
and mocked by everybody. At least they made the playoffs.
At least when they made moves, they went to the postseason.
And now you've got all of these other things that
are happening, and you've got Jason Kid, who's got to
sit at a press conference afterwards and try and justify

(23:40):
what the hell's happening. Well, organizational decisions, business decisions. By
the way, Hey, Mark Cuban, how did that? It didn't
wasn't Mark Cuban filing a protest against the league when
it came to a game last week or the week before.
How did that go? Oh? Never mind, that was denied. Okay,
we denied that one as well too. It's a clown show.

(24:00):
It's a circus, and the circus is starling in the
Dallas Mavericks. And if you've ever felt awful about a
situation you were in only to look at somebody else
who's feeling awful about their situation and realizing, you know what,
it could be worse. We could be them. That's happening
in Dallas right now. So that noise you heard last
night again, not an intruder, not a coyote, not a

(24:23):
grizzly bear. That's Jerry Jones with a giant sigh of
relief because Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks have led
him off the hook. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio again,
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the
Jonas Knox on Twitter, and you can hang out with
us as always on the iHeartRadio app. All right, it's
coming up next. We've got ourselves an absolute dysfunctional disaster

(24:49):
that could be on the brink of getting worse in
the world of sports. We'll tell you what that is
next here on FSR. But for all the latest from
around the world of sports. You know what it is
the Masters this weekend, So may I present to you
the David Duval Sports Talk Radio Brian Finlay, you talk
about a guy who won one major and that was it.
It's sort of like a music version of a one

(25:11):
hit wonder, although he has Jonas made a pretty good
career as an analyst in television afterwards. Yeah, what's wrong
with that, Finlay. We're not here to judge by the
way I would like I would say this. I wasn't
sure if you felt the same about golf as you
feel about tennis, So I didn't know if I threw
it a golfer at you, if you would be up

(25:33):
to speed on all that stuff. But it seems like
you do well. You know, I was surprised, Jonas that
you had time to do the show because I know
that Hacky Sack tournament that you were part of this
weekend was running long, and you like to wear the beanie,
the shaggy beanie with that when you're there too, So
I'm just impressed that you're here working the show today.
You know what I would say though, And again this
feels a little judgmental, but screw it. Why not. Yeah,

(25:55):
anybody that ever played Hacky Sack when I was growing up,
and for people that aren't familiar with what hacky sack is.
It's like this little like knitted ball with beads in it,
and people would kick it around. They were always potheads.
So whenever I see a hackey sack or I hear
the term hacky sack, I immediately assume that it's somebody

(26:17):
with a left handed cigarette who's got a long beanie
on and they're just kicking a hackey sack around because
they're trying to sober up, and they've already blown through
their bag of chili cheese friedos and this is the
only thing that's going to get them back to normal.
That's that's what I associated with. And again I could
be totally judgmental in that. And if I offended anybody

(26:40):
who happens to be a pothead, anybody who happens to
be kicking a hackey sack around currently, or anybody that
happens to like or is currently eating chili cheese fritos,
I apologize. But that's just the way my mind works,
and that's where my mind goes when I think about
hackey sack. And Joda said, and I don't want to
be judgmental of you. After you are just judgmental of
those who are involved in Hackey stack. But you are

(27:01):
talking to a guy in yourself that has tattoos on
his pecks. So let's just put everything in a perspective here,
false and your lower back. False. I do have a
couple of douchey tattoos. I'm not going to deny that.
And I don't have one of my lower back that
is a that is a direct shot. Why do I
have to be attacked by Brian Finley? I'm the one
I'm the one person that's nice to Finley, and I'm

(27:21):
getting assaulted on the air by Brian Finley. I've got
a lower back tattoo? How dare you? Finley? That's that?
I mean, it's easy to see, you know, with the
butter that and you should never have seen it. And
that's that's the point. So you're outing yourself now, all right,
let's let's not both get fired at the same time.

(27:43):
Finley or running low on numbers here, jesus, Oh my gosh.
Well from hoping it, I get fired to how guys
are doing as far as firing up the scorecards related
to the Master's third around, brooks Kepka, who reminds me
a lot of you. Jonas. He is thirteen under overall
four of the tournament and as a four shot lead
right now he has through five holes, he's one under

(28:04):
on the day. John Rum is four shots behind at
plus one through five holes. Now, Phil Mickelson, Jonas, you
probably have heard of him before. I'm sure, okay, I
was just making sure eight You want to know why
I like Phil Mickelson. Why likes to gamble? Yeah? Kind
of guy. Did you meet him? And Calvin Ridley? In fact,

(28:26):
if I could have lunch with any two celebrities would
be philm Michelson and Calvin Ridley. Love to go to
a horse track with those two, Well, then you would
actually win something because usually when you gamble and it's
you making up your mind on what you're gonna pick,
you usually lose. So it would probably be good for
you to go with other people like that to whatever
gambling you're going to be doing. But I wanted to
say this because Phil Mickelson is eight shots off the

(28:48):
pace and he's out there on the golf course right
now through seven holes one under. But Fred Couples took
a shot at him and he was a sixty three
year old who made the cut this week at the
Masters and said earlier this week, Jonas, you might have this.
This was all over the place where it took a
shot at Michelson because he's part of the Live Golf Tour, saying,
you know, if I was Phil and I was getting

(29:09):
paid two hundred million dollars or shoot seventy four and
seventy fives, God bless you, that would be a couple
saying to Michelson as if to say, the guy has
been these like, I get it. Everybody can feel a
certain way about the Live Tour and all of this stuff.
But you've got like Harold Varner came out and said, look,
I did it to change my family's future. It's generational wealth.

(29:33):
And I've been pretty consistent on this. If you want
to do it deep dive on where money comes from
in the PGA Tour or any other professional sport. There's
a lot of skeletons and a lot of closets and
a lot of money, and a majority of money has
a little element of dirt attached to it if you
trace it back far enough. This idea that these guys

(29:53):
are still airing out live golfers and then you've got
Brooks Kepka, who's a live golfer who's got a four
shot lead right now. Just the whole thing. It feels
like it's the pot Colin mc kettle black. But again, yeah,
you know, as long as I get some headlines, that's fine.
And I'll leave you with this. Jonas Tiger Woods, who
did make the cut for the twenty third consecutive time
that he has been part of this tournament, is in

(30:16):
last place. He is eighteen that is right, eighteen shots
off the lead, at the very bottom of players who
are playing this weekend. Five over for the tournament plus two.
Today he's through five holes. He started out on the
back nine because play wasn't technically completed their second round
until today, so they had to make up some time.

(30:37):
And he had bogie's on ten and four teens, so
two fives on holes that are obviously part fours on
ten and fourteen and right now, well back but you know, Jonas,
I'll tell you what, he's shooting a lot better than
than you ever would on a part three course they're
in so from Brian family. That's awesome. That makes about

(30:58):
three or four for the day, and we're an hour end.
This is so fun, man, It's great to have you back. Finley. Yeah,
it's great to be here. Look forward to continuing on
the trend. And you know there's people on social media
that are showing you love as well, so just trying
to keep up. I want nothing like it. All right. There,

(31:20):
he is the great Brian Finley. It's always good to
get the trickle down, you know, the h all the
stuff Finley here is from everybody else at Fox Sports
Radio just trickles down to Saturday and then he buries
me with it. So that's fun. It's always fun to
play that game here, all right, Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, coming up in about ten minutes from
now from the Tirack dot Com studios, we are going
to have ourselves another edition of Do You Care. If

(31:41):
you want some upbeat, positive opinions on major stories in
the world of sports, well we got good news for you.
You can get those elsewhere. Not In about ten minutes
from now, we're going to tell you the truth. I
do want to say this because we were talking about
misery Loving Company and the Dallas Mavericks have now taken
all of the eat off the Dallas Cowboys for what

(32:01):
a disaster the organizations are because in comparison to what
is happening with the Mavericks and the Cowboys, Jerry Jones
has got to feel like he's won another three Super Bowls.
But there's I mean, we keep hearing a lot of
criticism about Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders. I mean,
at least they've got some company. And that company his

(32:23):
ear is on a Cardinals who whoof that was a
that was a little bit of a dicey situation that
took place earlier this week. And if you're wondering what happened,
I mean, what could the problem be, Well, you know,
nothing other than the fact that you've got a former
Cardinals executive in Terry McDonough who accused the Cardinals owner
of cheating, discrimination, harassment because they use some burner phones

(32:45):
to call Steve Kim while he was on a suspended
because he got an he was suspended, he got an
extreme dui and blah blah blah. And so what do
the Cardinals do. Well, they decided, you know, we're just
gonna go ahead and we're not even gonna wait, We're
not even going to exchange any sort of pleasant trees,
or maybe we're not gonna push and shove, or we're

(33:06):
not gonna step on any toes. Now we're gonna go
straight to Oh yeah, Well, Terry McDonough is a shady employee,
he's a bad dad, and he's possibly guilty of extreme
domestic abuse. So there's that, There's the Arizona Cardinals, and
then you start hearing you remember when the Arizona Cardinals
were taking a long ass time to hire a head coach.
It was taking a long time for the Arizona Cardinals

(33:28):
to hire a head coach. Then a lot of people thought, well,
is it Kyler Murray is at Kyler Murray's contract? Dude?
Do people want to work with Kyler Murray? Look, if
you hear from people in and around Arizona. I've talked
to somebody very close to the situation who says Kyler
Murray's a bit of a pain in the ass. But
apparently that wasn't just the issue. The other issue was

(33:48):
Michael Bidwell, the owner of the Arizona Cardinals. So if
you were wondering whether or not, much like what was
happening with the Mavericks and the Dallas Cowboys, if anybody
was going to maybe take a little bit of heat
off Dan Snyder and the commanders for most dysfunctional organization
in the NFL. You do have company there, and that
company is Ears on the Cardinals. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio.

(34:10):
Get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the
Jonas Knox on Twitter. All right, it's coming up next.
It is a Saturday tradition. Every single week. It's a
little something called do you Care? Brutal Honesty and the
world of sports on some major stories you've been force
fed over the past several days, and it's yours here
on FSR. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up in

(34:34):
a little over ten minutes from now from the tire
rack dot Com Studios. There is a it would be
an appropriate ending if it went this way. There are
a couple of teams in the NFL that if things
go the way they possibly could, you would you would
be surprised initially, but I don't think you'd be totally

(34:54):
surprised based on their history and their track records. So
we'll get into that for you again a little over
ten minutes from now the tire rack dot Com Studios.
But right now it is time for something we do
every single week at this time, and it's called this.
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.

(35:16):
MS your reports. 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 Bo Benson to find
out what the hell's going on? Bo Hey, Jonas, So,
Grizzlies center Steven Adams is going to miss the rest
of the season, which means he's going to miss the

(35:38):
NBA playoffs. Do you care about this at all? Yeah?
I kind of do, actually, because look, I want to
see Memphis is a fun team and I want to
see just they're back and forth, especially when you get
to the playoffs, they are they already have a red ass.
Memphis is always involved in some sort of a skirmish.
That are their best players throwing around fifty grand at

(36:00):
and flashing a gun at a strip club. You know,
But but don't worry about it, because the owner of
the strip club came out and said he was a
total gentleman while he was there. I mean, except for
the whole gun thing, you know. But other than that,
I mean, great guy, great guy through and through, But
then he had to go to like some rehab and counseling.
Can I just say this, Remember when Tiger Woods had
his issue where he was fooling around on his wife

(36:22):
and she caught him and then wrapped a callaway around
his face while he was passed out on pills. And
then you've got like all these other stories about Tiger
Woods's exploits, and then Tiger Woods had to go to like,
uh he was like sex addict rehab and all that.
Like John moranted, what went to counseling for ten days
for what? Going to a strip club and uh, you know,

(36:44):
having like a like an onion ringed tower nearby while
he was getting a lap dance. You know, many guys
have gone to a strip club and dropped fifty k.
That guy needed to go to therapy. Give me a break. Next,
Fred Couples became the oldest player to make the cut
at the Masters at sixty three years old. Do you care? No? No,

(37:05):
I know. In fact, I'm a little pissed off because
Roy he's got like he's like fifty years older than
Roy McElroy and Roy McElroy for some reason can't even
make the cut. But that was my pick. We drew out,
We drew out of a hat. I really liked my
Roy McElroy pick. And then he goes out there and
just absolutely vomits all over himself. So you know, no,
I don't care. I'm a little pissed off about it

(37:26):
as a matter of fact. Next, the Eagles lost in
the Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs, played a
factor in the decision of Eagle center Jason Kelsey to
return for his thirteen season. He said, you know, it's close,
and the team is going to be good next year.
Jonas tacare yes, because he can still play at a
high level. He's a Hall of Famer. I mean, that
would have been a hell of a way to go out.

(37:49):
Just the idea though, had they won the Super Bowl,
would he have retired. So he was okay leaving if
he beat his brother, But he's not okay leaving with
the fact that his brother beat him. So I like
the idea that there's still the sibling rivalry and in
comparison to what has happened recently with Travis Kelsey, which
we will touch on at the top, of next hour.
This I think makes some sense. Next, former Colts wide

(38:11):
receiver Reggie Wayne said that Marvin Harrison Junior is a
better draft prospect than his father. I believe a scout
called him a Lamborghini Ohio States pro day better prospect
than his dad, Marvin Harrison. Do you care? Yes, because
I that he's the real deal now whether he lives
up to you know, I mean, the odds would say

(38:33):
that he's not going to be as good as his
father was because his father was a Hall of Famer
and just a phenomenal player. But Marvin Harrison Junior when
he left that semi final game, that game changed and
outside of CJ. Stroud, you would argue Marvin Harrison Junior
in that game against Georgia was the best player on
the field. Everything you hear from anybody who's talked about

(38:54):
him said, he said, he's phenomenal. So I am curious
to see where he ends up and what kind of
career he's going to have because his dad, that's some
that's some big shoes to have to fill and that's
a legacy he's gonna have to follow. So we get
to see how it plays out soon next you know,
you will not find me saying anything negative about Marvin
Harrison ever knows why not? Uh, well, what happened? Yeah,
he's a great guys. What are you talking about? Yeah?

(39:16):
All that car washing. Listen, you know it happens the
best of us. Yeah, I hear you. Pelicans forward Zion
Williamson is not going to return to the lineup lineup
in time for the playing tournament. Do you care at all?
I do because I feel bad for the guy, and
a lot of people say, oh, he should, he should
lose weight, and he should. Everybody acts like Marvin Harrison

(39:39):
Junior is the fat kid on stand or not Marvin
Harrison Junior. I'm the thinking of the other guy, Zion Williamson.
Everybody pretends like Zion Williamson is the fat kid from
stand by Me, Like he's in some pie eating contest
every three weeks. Look, he's a big guy. Okay, so
so he's a little bit heavy. He's not the fattest
guy in the world, all right, Like he's not. You know,

(40:00):
you don't see him walking down the street and go,
oh my god, somebody take pictures because that guy is huge.
He's just his body's failed him a little bit. Here.
I'm still confident he's gonna be able to get back
on track and everything you hear, great, dude, and I
wish the best for his recovery. Next, all right, Jonas
the Super Mario Brothers movie. It's just blowing past Box
off his expectations. Films now expected to reach a one

(40:23):
hundred and ninety five million dollars domestic debut and a
three hundred and sixty eight million dollar global opening. Do
you care at all about this? I don't people realize
this isn't the video game, right? I mean, do they
hand you like a super Nintendo paddle you plug into
the big screen to the theater and then you can
play it? Like they realize this is just a movie.
It's not the actual thing. It's like seeing a picture

(40:44):
of a cheeseburger and feeling like you like, okay that listen,
I'm no longer hungry. I just saw a picture of
a cheeseburger. Dude. If you want to play video game,
stay home in your nerdy game count a console and
play video games there. You don't need to go to
a movie to watch some some movie that's based on
a video game. And by the way, speaking of movies,
I saw a bucket of pew last night known as

(41:06):
Top Gun. Maverick. What an absolutely awful movie. You talk
about Cornball Cheesey, and that movie was nominated for Best Picture.
Think about all the great movies were nominated for Best
Picture that never won Best Picture. You know, Shawshank Redemption
was nominated for Best Picture and didn't win Best Picture.

(41:28):
You're putting that in the same category as Top Gun, Maverick.
I'd rather be Dufrayin and crawl through a tunnel of
crap than watch Top Gun again. Third round out the
Masters is ongoing and sole possession of the lead is
brooks Kepka. He is thirteen under for the tournament, one
under four the day through six holes that bertie for

(41:48):
him came on the second. John Rama is in solo second.
He has four shots off the pace plus one for
his day through six holes, and the amateur Sam Ben
And how about this story, He is by himself in
third place, seven shots off the pace but two over
on his day, also through six souls asked for Tiger Woods.
He did make the cut for the twenty third consecutive

(42:11):
time that he has been a part of this tourney.
But really is struggling started out his round on the
back nine, which is where he is and is plus
four through six holes plus seven for the tournament, is
in last place by himself plus seven. Make that a
good twenty shots off the lead for Wood sim Brian Fenley,

(42:35):
what a title? Are you ready? Garment? The Prince of Darkness?
The Prince of Darkness is in the house. I'm the
man up in his piece, Judah's Knocks. I don't shink
choosing the more chip. This well be god. Judah's Knocks
is coming through your speakers like the right cross from
a boxer that you've never heard of. They run through

(42:56):
our ass like ten horn Man and we could not
stop ten nine Live from the tire Raq dot Com studio.
So Fox Sports Radio, what are you talking about? What
is this your first day on the job. Here's Jonas
Knocks scattering a fast playing gradma on a bingo game
in fronting them all. Well, you know, if you had

(43:29):
to pick, if you break it all down and you
had to lay your hard earned money on a couple
of teams screwing something up, these might be near the
top of the list. I'll tell you who that is
coming up here in just a couple of moments from now.
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this show.

the way tire buying should be. Happy Easter to you
and yours. Now, a lot of people out there. You're
gonna be doing Easter egg hunts. You're gonna be getting
a visit from the Easter Bunny, gonna drop off some
candy into the basket, you know, get your some Cadbury
cream eggs. Yeah, there's a little Reese's peanut butter eggs.

(44:34):
You know, maybe what are those robbin eggs or whatever?
What are those things called? Sam or those robbin eggs
that you sent over? Is that what the picture was?
The little styrofoam eggs you sent them? So they don't
make those anymore. They're they were called eggums, and they
were like this little carton of these colorful little miniature eggs.
They're gum egg gums. I remember those. Yeah, they'll make
any more from Carton, right, little styrofrom Carton or like

(44:56):
a little plastic carton. And I just I didn't even
like I'd get them in my Easter basket as a kid,
and I didn't even chew the gum. I just like
looking at the little eggs because they were just cool looking.
I don't know, So what's the point. I don't know,
Just just I don't know. I like to collect things,
so you know, I collect gum and never chew it.
I guess what do you do? Buy cologne and never
spray it? Listen. I have a box of wheaties from

(45:16):
when the Minnesota Twins won the World Series and it's
never been opened and those are probably fossilized by now.
It was like the cover Kirby Pucket. I'd have to
h it was one of didn't they win? Did they win? Two?
In the nineties eighty seven to ninety one. I think
it was ninety one. You know who would probably add
a thirty two year old box of wheaties? All right,
Well you're a hoarder, I mean, so there is that

(45:37):
stacked up to the ceilings. All right. So I always
say I'm next to be featured on the show Hoarders.
But you know who actually might give you like a
pretty penny for that box of Minnesota Twins wheaties. Who's that?
Our Lord and Savior, Scott Shapiro, die hard Minnesota Twins fan.
I'm telling you he might hit him up and say, hey,

(45:59):
what are you willing to pay for a three decade
old box of wheaties? I think I checked eBay and
they were selling for like either eighty seven or niney one.
They're selling for like thirty six bucks, So it's not
you know, I don't know. I know they're just buy
thirty six dollars of fresh wheaties to be stocked up
for a while. That probably doesn't make some sense. Definitely,
you eat those wheaties. I don't know what's gonna happen.

(46:20):
I'll tell you what's gonna happen to be like death
coming out of the bag. Yeah, you eat a thirty
two year old box of wheaties and like your mouth evaporates.
I don't even want to know what razor blades. Yeah,
it's just it's gone, absolutely gone. So again, happy Easter
to you and yours. And if you do have a
three decade old box of wheaties, probably not recommended, but again,

(46:40):
enjoy the festivities for everybody out there, all right, Jonas
knocks Fox Sports Radio. If I were to ask you this,
and I'm gonna present the question to you like this,
I'm gonna give you a list of and you get
five guesses, and I'll say, you get five guesses without
knowing who it is, who would you guess would be

(47:03):
a team in the world of sports? And I'm not
even talking NFL, I'm not talking NBA. I'm talking all sports.
Let's talk the four major sports. Let's go MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL.
If you want. If I were to say there's a
team that's on the brink of adding a player that

(47:25):
could put them over the hump to be an actual
championship contender, everything is set up for them to get
this player, but they're probably going to screw it. Up.
If I gave you five guesses, how far into your
list of guesses would you get before you actually got
to the New York Jets? Because I would say you

(47:46):
probably wouldn't get to three or four before you name
the Jets. I mean, if we're gonna be truthful about it,
go through all of sports and just think to yourself,
there's a team who's on the brink of an absolute guarantee,
an edition of somebody, and there might end up screwing
this whole thing up. If I gave you a list
of five teams, you're not getting to three or four

(48:09):
before the Jets come out of your mouth. That is
a fact. So when I mentioned earlier in the show
that you've got Aaron Rodgers and Alan Lazard working out together,
you've got the GM Joe Douglas at an event in
New York last night with Boomer Osiason saying he's gonna
be here, He's gonna everybody's saying the same thing about
Aaron Rodgers. Yet he's still not here. All right. I

(48:33):
keep telling you the one team in the NFL that
you would look to to screw this up would be
the New York Jets. And why is it and this
isn't just to take a shot of the Jets, because
we're also going to talk about the packers here. Why
is it the Green Bay Packers are so good on
the intro and so bad on the exit. Why is

(48:54):
that the entrance is so great and the exit is awful.
It's like a buddy who turns into a different person
when they drink. Everybody's got a friend in their life
who gets a different name once they start drinking. You know,
it's like like your buddy Steve. You got a buddy Steve. Hey,

(49:15):
my buddy Steve, great guy at just a phenomenal guy.
And then you get a couple of drinks in him,
and then all of a sudden, you know, Roy comes out.
It's like, who's Roy, Well, that's Steve. What Steve? Thank you?
By the way, Et joining us here the Saturday before Easter.

(49:36):
Great to have Et off the spaceship, maybe from a
Comrax unit in the spaceship when he deserted Speve there
it is, so it's great to have the Et, who
clearly some throat issues, maybe a connection issue from the
Comrax in the spaceship, joining us here on this Saturday.

(49:59):
But point being, you've always got a buddy who's great
when you first meet him, and then you get a
couple of cocktails at him and he turns into a
different person. Why are the Packers that guy? Why are
they so good when you first meet him, and then
it's when they leave it's just a completely different person.
The Packers are great at identifying quarterbacks. They're they're wonderful.

(50:21):
In fact, I would argue the packers over the past
three decades the same age is that box of wheaties
that's laying next to Iowa Sam and a Des Moines
Times Register newspaper from the sixties because he's a hoarder
the same like the same amount of time. The Green
Bay Packers have had what two quarterbacks, both Hall of famers, Like,

(50:43):
they're really great at identifying quarterbacks. The Atlanta Falcons gave
away Brett Farve to the Green Bay Packers for like,
you know, half a stick of big red that you
get at a gas station somewhere for twenty five cents.
They gave him away, and Brett Farve turned in to

(51:05):
be not only a Hall of Fame quarterback, but one
of the most beloved Green Bay Packers in history. They
loved Brett Farve. In fact, there are still people who
prefer Brett Farve over Rogers, even though Rogers has got
all the better numbers and all of that stuff, and

(51:27):
everybody would argue Rogers is a better quarterback than Brett Farve,
just from a statistical standpoint. In green Bay, they loved
Brett Farve, they adored him. They were pissed when Brett
Farve left, and the Packers figured out a way to
screw that up too. It was weird, it was awkward,
and yes, Brett Farve was a willing participant and he
made it awkward. But it's like green Bay comes in

(51:49):
as Steve and then leaves as Roy. But what happened here?
Hey Steve? It's like, what do we do? And then
Rogers gets there and it's like, oh my god, he's
back to back mbps and and now this is weird.
It's like you get him a couple of cocktails. It's
a completely different person. Why do the pack they're so

(52:12):
good at identifying quarterbacks? Rogers falls in the draft and
he's there and they take and then so I'm telling
you right now, twelve years from now, Jordan Loves gonna
leave the Packers and it's gonna be weird, it's gonna
be awkward, Like it just feels like there's a common
theme here. So when you look at this whole situation
and you're saying, hey, if you could pick two teams

(52:34):
who kind of would screw up the exit and then
also the intro from bringing in another like, wouldn't these
two be near the top of the list for sure?
The Jets? And then if you look at the Packers
and you take a real long look at their history,
it feels like Green Bay's on the same page when
it comes to a lot of that stuff. Jonahs knocks
here Fox Sports Radio. By the way, a lot of
positive feedback coming in on the show. Great feedback. You know,

(52:56):
people are big fans of this show, and you're probably
thinking of yourself, man on Easter, there's no way people
are going to be mean. Well, of course, not not
gonna be mean, They're gonna be awful. Like Paul who
writes in lame ass Travis Kelsey replicating this bleep throw
that this bleep and bleep of a scumbag Jonas would
be making, bouncing the ball fifty feet in front of

(53:19):
the plate like the d bag he is he put
a video of Travis Kelsey thrown out the first pitch
at a Guardians game, and to say he short hopped
it is an understatement. WHOA, that was not ideal for
Travis Kelsey. But again, and everybody struggles from time to time.
Jason writes in we need a forest tree and that

(53:42):
dump Sherman Oaks to do a solid favor and wipe
out this bleep smoking bleep Jonas Knox and turn you
into worm food bleep packer, get a little jerk. Craig
writes in, Joni, the Jayoff is only great at juggling
beefcake bleep during bleep none that actually have to do

(54:03):
with sports. He loves big, beautiful ones, preferably around West Hollywood.
We know we need meat, So Craig, Jason, and Paul
join Mike North and et in this segment. So I
feel like if you were looking to have every food
group of sports stock radio represented, you got it all

(54:25):
here on this edition of The Jonas Knock Show. By
the way, you can get me on Twitter at the
Jonas Knox. If you would like to see the unedited
versions of all of those, feel free to do so
at The Jonas Knocks you don't have to follow me.
I couldn't care less. I really don't that just I
don't care. If you want to follow me, go ahead.
If not, that's fine too. But again, we've we are

(54:47):
going to take you up through the end of the
hour here on FSR. All right, so coming up next
from the Tirac dot Com Studios, which I'm sure they're
happy about. Let's go ahead and let's defend some buddy
in the NFL. And let's go ahead and have somebody's
back in the NFL that nobody seems to want to defend.

(55:08):
I'll be the guy, and I think I'm gonna make
a really strong case for it. It's next year on FSR.
I am thank you. We're gonna have to get to
break the ice to kill de fund that you have
up here, Jonahs Knox, Fox Sports Radio. We are going

(55:28):
to get into me defending not one, but two things
going on in the world of sports that I don't
think a lot of people are defending, and I'm gonna
make a strong case for both, or at least I hope.
So we'll get into that here in just a couple
of moments from now. But first we've got a little
bit of breaking news, and for that we go over
to Brian Fenley breaking news from Fox Sports. Yeah, Jonahs,

(55:53):
So fifteen minutes into network TV coverage of the Masters,
they got in just fifteen minutes of play and then
the horn sounds and play is suspended for the rest
of the day of the third round and at Augusta
National as of three fifteen Eastern time, and so to
be the broadcaster to only get fifteen minutes of coverage

(56:16):
and then to be done for the day horn sounds.
Some of these greens, Jonas are nearly underwater, very soggy conditions,
and obviously we've had some trees that have fallen earlier
in the week with this tournament, so I want to
be extra careful here. As of right now, brooks Kepka
is your leader by himself, thirteen under four shot leader

(56:37):
with John rom only through six holes, so a lot
of golf tomorrow. We could be seeing jonas some Master's
Monday action. Oh God, Master's Monday sucks. It's just not
the same. Like there's something about the weekend and then
you've got you know, the holiday this weekend, and you
know it just there's a different feel to it. And
now it's pouring and everybody's freaking out. I am curious, though,

(57:00):
there's you know, there are some spectators there, are they
Do they have to leave the course or can they
go to the clubhouse there, Because if they're slinging those
eggs salad sandwiches for like two fifty, go bang down
a couple of those, have a few few, you know,
lick the liver loop a little bit, and then you're
feeling good about yourselves on the way back home. Well,
I do know that they're not protected or hanging underneath

(57:20):
trees to stop them from getting pelted by the rain.
My sister and her husband were at Augusta yesterday, had
a great time. They said they had a perpetual smile
on their face. Hold on a second, hold on Finley, Yeah, Finley,
Why didn't you say that earlier? You know, you've got
people at Augusta National. What are they so they're not

(57:41):
there currently? They're not there. They just went yesterday and
they loved it, and they got out of there right
before the tree hits, so they had left the venue,
but they were there for a few hours walking the course.
First time bucket listing and obviously your time in Georgia
and at least in the Carolinas. You know how that's
all about. Oh well, listen, I let's go while I

(58:01):
can tell you this by what a guest lest we've
had today, Et, Rodney Dangerfield and Mike North have all
stopped by. This is really something, and ET's older brother apparently.
But I would say this, when it comes to Augusta National,
looks a lot different on the inside than it does
on the outside. They say, I guess to not what

(58:22):
they tell you on TV and what they show you
a whole different deal once you actually get there and
you hop off the road to get something to eat,
and you realize, go ahead and get back on the
road here. But so, I mean, they're showing like everyone's leaving.
Everybody's got a master's umbrella, or at least everybody that
works there's got a master's umbrella. I'm sure those are
three hundred dollars and they're all walking off the course together.
I'm just wondering, I mean, can you can they at

(58:44):
least like go hang out somewhere nearby? And also, if
you've got so like a relative that's at Augusta National,
we could have had them hop on the show. You
should have told him go on Saturday instead of Friday
because that way. Look, we have a difficult time getting
guests on this show. I can't imagine why. I don't
know why. I guess what wouldn't want to stop by
this show, But we have a difficult time. So at
least we could have said, let's go live to Augusta

(59:06):
National and it would have felt like we had a legitimate,
real analyst point of view on what's happening there at
the Masters. But unfortunately it didn't happen. When are you
going to get Rodney Dangerfield on the show right after
my dog? I'll get my dog? And by the way,
how about Brian Finley making a dead joke here on

(59:27):
the air. You're a real class act, Finley. Anything you
want to say about like like John Wilkes Booth, You
want to get John Wilkes Booth on the show too, Finley.
But I know there was one golfer who is very
happy that this third round has come to a pause.
That would be Tiger Woods. He isn't dead. Last two

(59:47):
double bogies on his back nine. He started out his
round on the back nine, six over on just the
back nine, which he hasn't completed yet. Nine over for
the tournament. Jonas, he is twenty one shots off the page.
Think about Tiger Woods. That's got to feel good. He's
happy that they sounded the horn. Listen, we need to change.

(01:00:08):
In fact, I'll tease this all right, So coming up
in about ten minutes from now, people need to start
changing expectations when it comes to a certain something in
the world of sports. I just want to point that out.
So we'll have that for you again a little over
ten minutes from now. So again the breaking news out
of the Masters. Play has been suspended, all right, They've
suspended play for the day. It's a torrential downpour. It

(01:00:30):
looks like they're on the set of Twister. You got
people ducking for cover, Trees are falling, rain drops everywhere,
and so now everybody is taking off of the day.
So if you were planning on spending the day watching
the Masters, get your ass ready for some Major League
Baseball action near you, because the Masters ain't happening and

(01:00:52):
the rest of this day, all right, Jonas knocks here
Fox Sports Radio. Let me I'd like to defend somebody here.
The first person I would like to do and would
be The Denver Broncos are the first group of people
because Mike Sando the Athletic heard from some NFL execs
who are a little bit critical at some of the

(01:01:13):
spending in Denver this offseason. All right, so that the
Broncos went out and spent a ton of money, and
it was like, well, you know, you're given money to
certain guys at a certain price. You know, why why
give so much money out? There was a little bit
of criticism there. What are they supposed to do? Like,
what is Denver supposed to do? It's not like Denver

(01:01:35):
can just say na, na, now, we're fine. We just
had a down year. Let's they fired their head coach.
He didn't even make it through the season. You bring
in Sean Payton. You're doing whatever you can to try
and fix whatever the issue was with Russell Wilson. If
it means getting rid of his entourage, that's there, getting

(01:01:57):
rid of the office that he has. Whatever the case,
maybe they were the laughing stock of the league, and
so god forbid, Denver went out and spent a little
bit extra to try and bring in some free agents.
And yes they might have overspend, but what are they
supposed to do. You can't get out of the contract.
You got a roll with Russell Wilson, and so in

(01:02:17):
order to make the most of this opportunity, you go
out and you spend elsewhere. You're basically going for broke.
They just sold the team, they've got a new ownership,
John always gone. So the idea that Denver is getting
criticized because they went out and spent a bunch of
money in free agency. They don't have draft picks. Okay, Like,
I don't know if anybody's aware of that, but there's

(01:02:39):
a reason Seattle, who just made the playoffs, was picking
in the top five because Denver sucked last year. So
I don't get where it's like, what do you want
to just go with what they had last year and
see if he could do a little bit better. Denver
went out and had to spend a little bit of money,
and they went out and spent a lot of money,

(01:03:00):
and they hired a brand new head coach, and they're
trying to change whatever last year was. They realized Russell
Wilson's older, he had to deal with a surgery this
offseason and was terrible last year. So let's go ahead
and let's try and run this thing back, but with
a twist, different head coach and more town around him.
God forbid. They wanted to improve where they were a
year ago. So I have no issue with what Denver did,

(01:03:22):
and I do think Denver is going to be better
for a couple of reasons. One I think Russell Wilson
is going to be better, and two, I think Denver
is going to be better because it would be hard
for them to be much worse. So that's really my
reasoning for why I think Denver is going to be
a much more improved team than they were a year ago.
So again, I would like to defend Denver in that

(01:03:43):
one regard. Here's somebody else I would like to defend.
I'd like to defend Thursday Night Football. And let me
tell you why. So there's been this conversation that has
popped up over the past couple of weeks about flexing
on Thursday Night Football and all this stuff, and you've
got owners in the NFL or nine happy about it.
There was like a loud shouting match and all this stuff,

(01:04:03):
and you had, you know, a David Tepper of the
Carolina Panthers who was asking league executives is this direct
response to something Amazon said because Amazon Prime got got
the package and all that stuff. And then you've got
teams that didn't vote on it. They were like two
vote shy. It was the Panthers and the Denver Broncos
who chose not to not to vote on whether or

(01:04:24):
not there would be flexing on Thursday night and all
this stuff. And then you've got now the NFL's given
the Thursday night in the league, the ability to have
teams play multiple times on Thursday Night, which never happened before, etc, Etc. Etc.
Can I just say this, Thursday Night football wasn't nearly
as bad as a lot of you people in the

(01:04:48):
media and Al Michaels made it out to be, all right,
I love al Michaels, huge al Michaels fan, all right,
still hasn't lost his fastball. I think he's fantastic. He's
one of the best broad casters to this day doing
live sports, one of the best. Love al Michaels. It
wasn't as bad as everybody made it out to be.

(01:05:09):
But you want to know why everybody started going down
the road of Thursday night football being bad because of
what happened in kind of the early portion of the season.
All right, you remember that Colts Broncos game where Russell
Wilson and Matt Ryan were atrocious, absolutely atrocious. They were terrible.

(01:05:30):
The Broncos and Colts game was awful, and it was
like a like a weird score as well too. You
had like like this this odd score and it was
that was really when it started, where you had al
Michaels and you had Kerk curb Street, and you had
these guys being overly critical of the Colts and the
Broncos and it was twelve to nine and it was

(01:05:51):
a field goal fest, and then it went into overtime,
so we had to see more bad football and it
extended late into the Thursday evening and all that stuff. Okay,
that was a bad game. And then you had the
Bears in the Colts or you had the Bears and
the Commanders, and that was a bad game as well too.
And the Bears had an opportunity late in that game,
and you know, just the things didn't go well because

(01:06:13):
you know, the Bears were struggling to score. Like it
just felt like there was a couple of bad weeks
in there. The two A head injury was also kind
of a bad look because that happened a in Cincinnati,
and it was just like so there was there were
some issues there, but it was really that portion of
the schedule, and it's almost like everybody took those two
games Colts Broncos Bears Commanders and just spread that over

(01:06:40):
the entire course of the Thursday night schedule and just said,
you know what, Thursday Night on Amazon has been an
absolute failure Amazon Prime and Thursday Night Football has not
worked because of two games. You remember when everybody thought
Thursday Night Football sucked. They were trying to do color
rush games, and all of a sudden, they moved from

(01:07:01):
the NFL networked over to Fox and Fox started doing
it and it was Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, and
next thing you know, Thursday Night Football was fantastic. I
wasn't a fan of it at first. I said it
on the air man, we don't need Thursday Night Football.
We got enough. And then all of a sudden, the
teams you started seeing Joe Buck and Aikman calling it
was like, okay, well it kind of feels like there's

(01:07:22):
a different different speed to it, at a different pace
to it. I'm okay with it. You know, we're not
doing the color rush thing anymore. It's almost like they're
trying to fix Thursday Night Football because of two bad games.
You know how many bad games there are every single week.
In fact, we do a segment during the football season

(01:07:43):
called the TGFG Game of the Week that, thank God
for gambling. Game of the week is not for gambling.
Who the hell's watching? There's bad games all the time,
but everybody wants to, like, now, try and fix Thursday
night Football when it doesn't need fixing and you don't
need flexing. It's okay. You had a couple of bad games.
Nobody thought Denver was going to be as bad as
they were, Nobody thought the Cults were going to be

(01:08:05):
as bad as they were, and you ended up having
both of those teams play a game that went into overtime.
That was the start of all the negative press. Thursday
Night Football got everything else. I think it is completely overblown.
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. All right, so coming up,
we are going to get into what people have to
get used to. You gotta get used to this. There's

(01:08:26):
an expectation that has been set, There's a narrative that
has been set surrounding one person in the world of sports,
and it's completely off. We'll get into that for you
right here on FSR, but for all the latest from
around the world of sports and the lace and gentlemen
make some noise for the Justin Leonard Wow of sports
stock radio. Right o Jonas, I'm so impressed to its

(01:08:49):
knowledge that is it is Justin Leonard, right, yeah, he
won a major. Yeah, no relation to Kauhi, Right, I
don't think so. Yeah, I can confirm no relation to
Kawhi Leonard. Yes, yes, that would be the case. And
speaking of golf, fifteen minutes in a network coverage of
the third round at the Masters, this happened Victor Hovelin

(01:09:09):
is tied for fourth and he sees the official coming
out John at the eighth I think that since they're
about to blow the horn, he doesn't want to pot
here it comes could move. That would be serious XM
Masters Radio. That sounds like the trumpet the Jonas played
when you were in middle school band, just trying to

(01:09:31):
hit the notes. How dare you so? What we are
learning is that the Masters is off of the rest
of the day because of the downpour of rain that
is pelting the patrons, and of course the golfers right now,
Brookes Kepka is thirteen under. He is your soul leader
one hunder through six holes, and in solo second, four

(01:09:51):
shots back is John rom The amateur Sam Bennetts is
in solo third at six under, seven shots off the pace.
And I got to tell you, Jonas, there one player
who was very happy that he doesn't have to continue
on today. That would be Tiger Woods. As he is
twenty one shuts off the lead. He is why is
that family? Is his ex waiting for him in the
parking lot? Well, let me just say this, Jonas. If

(01:10:16):
you've been to the Masters and it's a very hilly course,
and Tiger has been open about his physical state and
having to deal with the walking, doing some matth here
and was talking to Steve Hartman twenty nine holes, Tiger
Woods would have to play tomorrow. Are they going to
be able to bring out the golf cart? I mean, family,

(01:10:37):
Why do you got to attack the guy so he's
struggling physically a little bit. I don't think you need
to mock the guy on the air. He's got also
he's got you know, somebody suing him for thirty million
dollars because of you know, changing the locks on the house.
For God forbid, the guy changed the locks on his house.
He can't do a little bit of work. He can't
go to the hardware store and pick up a schlage
lock or whatever they're called and change the locks on

(01:10:57):
his house without getting sued for thirty million. And you
got to attack the guy for his physical ailments here
on the air. Well, I'm just concerned because you know,
as much as I love him, right now as a golfer,
he's had a tough go of its second or the
second nine that he started out on. He's plus six
through seven holes, so nearly at a pace of a
bogie every hole in that sense of scoring, which would

(01:11:21):
put him into the late eighties ninety range, which is
usually your nine holes score, which is saying something about
your golf game. Now they're in soul. Thank you, family,
so you're welcome. So yeah, Tiger Woods is all the
way in last place, and that's what we have right now.
Place to spend for the rest of the day, but
try to make up everything tomorrow. With the rain contingent

(01:11:43):
on that, we could see some action on Monday. And
I guess Jonah says as I get it back to
we know that where Augusta is, it's it's an immaculate
but just outside there are local strip malls and everything.
So maybe you hit up of a fast food restaurant.
Everything is right there, and then all of a sudden
you go into the Vatican around Rome and that is Augusta.
But there are things to do. Maybe hit a movie

(01:12:05):
if you're a fin and you didn't get to watch
the end of the third round. Yeah, I mean, listen,
I've told that story before on the air. I was
driving my first ever radio job, paid radio job, and
I used the word paid lightly, but my first ever
paid radio job. I drove cross country and I was
going to Charleston, South Carolina, and I forget what road

(01:12:26):
it was. I think it was the twenty. I think
it's the twenty. I think that's the highway. But whatever
it is, I was driving, and you know, you see
like it'll tell you what city's coming up. So you know,
I'm drying, and I was hungry. I wanted to get
something to eat. Then I see Augusta, Georgia, so and
so miles away, and I thought, you know what, I
can wait a little bit longer. I'd like to see

(01:12:46):
what Augusta looks like. It looks beautiful on TV. And
got off the highway and I'm looking around. I'm like, huh, shure,
it doesn't look like what it is on TV. Okay,
we're gonna go ahead and just PLoP down here, and
next thing you know, I my u haul like a
hawk because I wasn't quite sure whether or not somebody
was going to break into it. And I realized the
presentation on TV not exactly what they're telling you about

(01:13:10):
the stuff on the outside. Everybody was nice, very friendly,
but I was just expecting something different than what they
show you on television when you get behind the gates.
And apparently somebody sent me a tweet and said the
place that I ate lunch at was actually a mile
away from Augusta National. You'd have no idea, Jolie would
have no clue. What was that close. I swore when
you told me about this story about you going across

(01:13:32):
the country that it was horse and buggy that you
did it. Jesus Finley, my god. All right. So for
those of you out there who own a comedy club,
I think Joe Rogan just open up a new comedy club.
If you're looking for an opening act. May I introduce
you to Bran Finley on Twitter. There he is, folks,
Brian Finley with us. Thank you Finley. It is Jonas

(01:13:54):
Knox here Fox Sports Radio. All right. So I also
would like to say for those of you out there,
they keep waiting for Tiger Woods to be competitive and
win another major. And I know he won the Masters,
like you've got to change what is considered a success
for tiger Woods. Let's go ahead and change the expectations.
The real success for tiger Woods is if he can

(01:14:17):
make the cut, because if Tiger Woods makes the cut,
then it's great news for whoever is showing the tournament.
So CBS they don't care if Tiger Woods is really
in contention. They just want the ability to be able
to show Tiger Woods golfing on television for an extra
couple of days. And as long as he makes the cuts,
that is where they consider it a success. It'd be

(01:14:38):
wonderful if he was in contention, and if he was,
you know, in the final grouping going into the final
day at Augusta National. That's not the case and it
probably never going to be the case again. So for
those of you waiting for Tiger Woods to get back
into it. It's not happening. He's clearly not the same physically.
But as long as he's there for the final two days,
do whatever you need to do. Get him to make

(01:15:00):
the cut, prop him up, bring him out there for
Saturday and Sunday, and that is what is now considered
a success when it comes to Tiger Woods. All right,
Jonas Knox here on FSR, and it is time for
the Progressive play of the day, and it's saved by
Niela Kina in the right, in the right corner for three.
It's the top of the four. The horn sounds, the
game is over and the Chicago Bowls have come from behind.

(01:15:24):
They were down by as many as fifteen and they
hold off a very brave and very stubborn in the
Mavericks roster squad, and Chicago wins it one fifteen to
one twelve. MAV's Radio Network on the call. That is
your Progressive play of the day, brought to you by

(01:15:44):
Progressive Insurance. Progressive makes bunneling easy and affordable. Get a
multi policy discount by combining your motorcycle, RB, boat, ATV
and more, all your protection in one place bundle and
save at Progressive dot Com. All right, so coming up next,
we're gonna put a bowl on this bad boy. It
is a tradition unlike any other. It's not the masters,
it's the scraps, and it's yours here on FSR. Jonas

(01:16:05):
went out and got himself some corporate sponsors. It's very
nice to you. Sam. By the way, Dynamite job playing
Yellow leadbetter when we talked about it earlier. Instead, he's
rolled back with some of the worst bumper music I've
heard since I watched Top Gun Crap last night. That

(01:16:25):
movie sucks. Did you try to Ryan crap and Maverick
into crap? Right? Why I did that? Jonas knocks Fox
Sports Radio. By the way, if you missed any of
this show, you can check out the podcast. It will
be available shortly after we go off the air at
Fox Sports Radio the weekends editions. He looked for FSR
Weekends and you can find that. You know, if you

(01:16:47):
want to rate it and leave a review, go right
ahead late in, let's hear it. You want to be
brutally honest, make that happen too. You want to shout
us out, you want to take a shot at Iowa,
Sam for being a hoarder. You can do that as
well too at Fox Sports Radio dot com. The podcast
will be posted up shortly in a little over ten
minutes from now from the tire rack dot com studios.

(01:17:08):
Make sure you stick around. The great Steve Hartman and
Bucky Brooks will take over the airwaves. Always fun conversation,
whether it's the Masters, whether it's the NFL, and especially
right now Bucky Brooks with all the draft conversation and
the rumors that are out there, that'll be a fun
listening for those guys. To make sure you're around for
it here. But right now, it is time for a

(01:17:30):
little something we do to close up shop every single Saturday,
and it's called this Jonas, how could you not get
to these stories? These are the scraps? And then we
turn it over to our executive producer, Bo Benson to
find out what the hell we've missed? Bo. Yeah, real quick,
late story here. I'm going to talk to HR for

(01:17:51):
what Sam said. Do you want to talk back right
before we came back? Because that was it. I wish
people knew what went on behind this, Yeah, I really did.
It's disgusting. God, you're talking about the show behind the
show is really the story. I just he's an adult
and the stuff that comes I'm just adult. It's weird. Uh.

(01:18:14):
These two two stories pretty pretty closely related, so we'll
get through them pretty quick. The some Dallas Mavericks officials
are worried that star small forward Luca don Chich could
request the trade in the summer of twenty twenty four
if the Mavericks don't build a contender around him, and also,
per NBA spokesperson Mike Bass, the NBA commenced an investigation

(01:18:35):
today into the facts and circumstances surrounding the Dallas Mavericks
roster decisions and game conduct with respect to last night's
Chicago Bulls Mavericks game, including the motivations behind those actions.
So nothing is going right in Dallas right now. Yeah,
because they were They basically didn't want They looked at
it and said, you know what, why do we want
to be in the playing tournament. Screw that, don't go

(01:18:57):
to the play and tournament. Let's go ahead and try
and protect our laws to repick. And the only reason
Luca played is because it was Slovenian night, which you
can't even make this stuff up. But that is the
Dallas Mavericks. They're a disaster and anywhere anywhere Kyrie Irving
goes just seems like bad news follows Yeah, And then
you know, you have Jason Kidd basically saying, yeah, my

(01:19:19):
bosses told me to a tank. So if he just
you know, didn't say that, I feel like this wouldn't
have happened. So I have a feeling that the Mavericks
might be looking for a new head coach this coming
off season. It is funny, though, how the NBA always
has these issues, like whether it's load management and you've
got to put in a minimum games required to play

(01:19:40):
a thing. It just I said it years ago. Adam
Silver is a kiss ass to the players. That is
really the root of the problem. He wanted to kiss
everybody's ass when he first got in and wanted to
show everybody he wasn't like Stern and he was. He
had a different personality and he was friendly and buddy
buddy with everybody. And now the toothpasts out of the

(01:20:01):
tube and now he's got to go back and trying
to correct all the load management and all the other
stuff that came along with it. That's where the problem started.
But yeah, we've got UFC two eighty seven happening here
on tonight in Miami. How about that Alex Padeta, Israel
Adissanja and nobody else anywhere is going to pronounce those

(01:20:23):
same names correctly except for me words Smith here words Smith.
But nonetheless, that is a fantastic fight. Plus, you've got
Jorge Moss fat All Miami Zone, their first time the
UFC's back in Miami in like twenty years. Mossad All
is going to be taken on Gilbert Burns And anytime
the UFC goes to one of these places they haven't

(01:20:44):
been to in a while, it's absolutely fantastic. That's gonna
be a fun, fun card. That'll be a fun watch.
Everybody crying about the Masters getting shortened and potentially moved
to Monday because they got a torrential downpourn, you got
trees falling on human beings, don't worry about it. You
still got a UFC event and a bunch of other
stuff to watch. What else we got? All Right? Finally, here,

(01:21:06):
the most exhausting NFL story of the past year and
a half could hopefully be coming to a merciful close.
As Odell Beckham Jr. Is headed to New York to
meet with the Jets. He will reportedly take a physical
and in a very funny twist to me, they'll they'll
discuss what an Aaron Rodgers led Jets offense could look like,

(01:21:27):
even though Aaron Rodgers is not yet the Jets quarterback.
It's just it's so funny how people pick and choose
who gets the attention and what stories we get to
cover and who doesn't. I'm so tired of it, man,
Like the Odell Beckham story has been dragging on for
so long, and the fact that it's Easter of twenty

(01:21:51):
twenty three, and you go back and think about the
first game of the last NFL season with the Bills
and the Rams, and one of the storylines in that
game was whoever wins that game, That's who Odell Beckham
Junior plans on signing with. Yeah, like like he's calling

(01:22:12):
the shots the chief time. The Chiefs just signed Richie James,
who actually caught fifty seven passes in four touchdowns last
year and not a pete. But yeah, we got to
hear about Odell. Okay, it's too lates, unbelievable, like making
the rounds. I plan on going here, Like Sean mcvay's
got a locker he kept open with Odell Beckham's jersey
hanging up. And what happened to that locker is that

(01:22:34):
