Fox Sports Radio, what.

Here's Jonas Knock scanning the fast playing Grandma.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The bingo game is running them all. You talk about
a real pain in the ass.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
There's somebody getting the shaft in the world of sports broadcasting,
and I'll explain why that is coming up here just
a couple of moments from now, Jonahs Knock Fox Sports Radio.

The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Oklahoma and Texas now first and foremost Oklahoma, as Martin
pointed out as a twenty to seventeen lead at halftime,
the game has been bananas, all right. It's what you
would expect from a great rivalry game. You've got turnovers,
you've got a bunch of reviews, you've got possible fumbles,
(02:01):
you've got a special teams gimmick play which look to
be a forward pass. Like anything you could want to
have happened in the first half of a rivalry game,
you've got it with this game. It's been tremendous. The
second half is going to be bananas. So you've got
that going on. You've got Ohio State in a dogfight
with Maryland at halftime. All of that has happening here
(02:24):
while we're on the air, So that is going to
be storylines to track, storylines to monitor as we get
closer towards the end of the show. And it does
have that feeling here where sometimes you just start things
off and you go, this is going to be kind
of banana lan today. Everything's going to get a little crazy.
And that's what it feels like today. So we are
already underway. But let me just tell you why we're
(02:45):
getting the shaft. And by we I mean sports broadcasters.
First time I started doing radio, I would do these updates.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You know, like not as good as Martin.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
But I would try and do sports updates at a
local market. And we were heavy into college football, and
I can remember multiple times in a row. We're talking
like easy fifteen sixteen times in a row in previewing
Texas Oklahoma, I could not say the name of the game,
(03:20):
Red River Rivalry. Let me just tell you something, the
fact that they have gone back to this name when
everybody thought, okay, listen, we're just gonna steer clear of
that name.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
We don't have to call it that anymore. I don't
have to worry about it anymore.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
It brings up traumatizing memories for me from my early
broadcasting days of having to say red River Rivalry a
bunch of times in a row, to cut these promos
in these spots for this game. And so now all
of a sudden, because they've got a new title sponsor
for the game, they go back to the name. We're
getting the shaft. And if you've dealt with something from
(03:55):
your past that continues to pop up and next time
you see it, it just brings back bad memories. It's
like that kid who gets sucked into the drain and it,
you know, like, what do you think his brother's thinking
every time he sees that paper boat. What do you
think he's thinking, Oh, hey, I remember that. That's when
my brother got his arm ripped off.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I remember that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, Oh look, hey it's a clown. I'm sure that
brings up great memories.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
All of a sudden, they got to change the name
of this game and give a nice fu to every
broadcaster out there struggling to get through an update or
struggling to get through the name of a game called
Red River Rivalry, which makes no sense whatsoever, but nonetheless
it's a pain in the ass, and.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We got to get that off our chest.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Just wants you to know a lot of us are
going to be playing hurt this weekend emotionally because we're
trying to get through all of that.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Just want to clear that out before we get started.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Anyways, let's move on to the value of a peacemaker.
There is a valuable lesson learned that a peacemaker is
one of the most key and green to multiple relationships.
Jonathan Taylor, the running back for the Indianapolis Colts, who
(05:08):
will now be a running back for the Indianapolis Colts
for several more years because earlier today it was announced
he gets a three year deal worth forty two million dollars,
twenty six and a half million of that guaranteed. So
he's one of the highest paid running backs in the
league and he's going to be there for the next
few years in Indianapolis. And this is always what he wanted.
(05:31):
He was looking for a long term contract. I don't
think ultimately when this whole thing started that he wanted
out of Indianapolis or wanted to bail on the Colts,
or bail on the fan base, or bail on the franchise.
Jonathan Taylor gets his deal and you look at this
and you go, okay, well, this is great for the Colts.
From the standpoint of Jonathan Taylor Anthony Richardson, those two
(05:56):
guys in the backfield are going to present some problems
running the football. And Nathan Taylor has been one of
the most productive and effective running backs over the past
few years since he's gotten into the NFL. But the
real star in this and the real value of this
deal comes in the form of Chris Ballard, the GM.
Because you know what Chris Ballard.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Was in all this. He wasn't a GM. He was
a peace maker. Who's a peace maker.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
He was the guy who made peace between Jim Mersay
and Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I mean, we've all been there, haven't.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
You had to play peacemaker before, peacemaker between friends family.
You got like a relative here and a sibling here.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You got to be in the middle.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
You walk into a bar, you just sit down. Your
buddy gets into a little bit of a skirmish with
somebody else. You got to play peace maker with the bouncer,
or a peacemaker with the bartender, or a peace maker with
the guy at the end of the bar who thinks
he heard something.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But it wasn't. Everybody's had to play peacemaker.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You've had to do it several times in your life,
and it's a little bit uncomfortable and you wish you
didn't have to do it, and it's kind of a
pain in the ass, and you wouldn't exactly do the
things that you're having to make amends for with these
other people. But you got to play peacemaker. And Chris
Ballard had to play peacemaker, and apparently he did a
(07:23):
brilliant job of that. When Jimmrsay sits down after him
and Jonathan Taylor have an hour long meeting and Jim
Er says trailer at training camp and Jim mrsay sits
down on a golf cart afterwards and says, quote, I
could die tomorrow and Jonathan Taylor could be out of
(07:45):
the league and nobody would care.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
The league would move on. I don't know about you,
but I feel like that probably pissed Jonathan Taylor off.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Just a guess when we're trying to come to terms
on a long term deal and I go to you
and say, hey, I want to be here long term,
let's work something out, Let's do this together. I know
I'm a little banged up right now, but I promise
you I want to be in Indianapolis, Colt and you
have this hour long meeting, and then Jim Ursay sits
on the back of a golf cart and just says, yeah, well, listen,
you could be out of the league tomorrow, nobody would care,
(08:17):
and I could die tomorrow and everybody would move on.
Now what he said was true, but the timing was
a little improper, and thus Jonathan Taylor got annoyed, and
Jonathan Taylor was a little bit salty about it, and
I don't blame him. So Chris Ballard is looking at
this whole situation going, hold on a second, We're better
(08:41):
off with Jonathan Taylor on our team.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Everybody loves the guy. All his teammates love him.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
You can't find anybody who's ever dealt with Jonathan Taylor,
either at the college level, whether it be a teammate,
a coach, somebody in the media, or in the NFL teammate, coach,
anybody in the media. You can't find anybody who's got
a bad thing to say about the guy. They love
Jonathan Taylor. You hear him talk and you go, why
(09:12):
would you want to screw that up? Especially if you're
the Colts and you've got a brand new regime. You've
got a brand new young quarterback who's showing promise. Still
a little bit raw, but showing promise. You feel like
you've got some direction. And it also helps with the
fact that nobody can figure out who wants to be
the best team in the AFC South. Jacksonville doesn't look
(09:36):
like the Jacksonville everybody thought they were. Houston is much
better than anybody thought they were. And Tennessee is Tennessee. Eh,
just kind of okay. So Indianapolis finds themselves five weeks
into the season going, hold on a second, we could
actually win this thing. Yeah, we got a little bit
of help from the officials at Baltimore because Jay Flowers
(09:58):
there was a PI there.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
They didn't call.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
We get all that. But nonetheless, we could actually win
this thing. We could win this division. Oh and it
would probably be hoove us to bring in one of
the guys that's considered one of the great human beings
in the league that everybody loves. Yeah, we should probably
make amends, we should probably repair that relationship, and we
should probably sign him to a long term deal because
(10:21):
that's somebody you want in your organization in the building.
If you're trying to grow this thing. And that's exactly
what Chris Ballor did. And I said it from the
get go. I think this went from being financial to
personal the second Jim Mersey said those comments. When he
made those comments public, right after they sat in a
(10:41):
meeting in his trailer for an hour and talked about things.
When he went public with that, Jonathan Taylor was like,
a I've got to get healthy.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Be screw you. What are we doing here?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
The MVP of this entire deal is not Jonathan Taylor,
it's not Jonathan Taylor's agents, it's not anybody else involved.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Other than Chris Ballard.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
The guy played peacemaker between an owner who shot his
mouth off, who may or may not have been half
in the bag. Again, I don't know. I wasn't there.
I don't know what's on the trailer. Does he have
a mini bar?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay? Does he have like is.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
There like a ca garader there, like one of those
little pony kegs, which you're awesome, you just you know,
you have a like like a coil that goes in
a cooler. You put a bunch of ice on it,
you put the kegs outside of it. I mean it's great,
you gotta worry about the foaming issues. But nonetheless, I
don't know what was on the trailer. I wasn't there.
But Chris Ballard repaired this relationship. He seemed flustered when
(11:46):
he talked about it a couple of months ago or
a month ago or so. He seemed annoyed having to
talk about it. He seemed annoyed having to deal with
Jim Rsay saying something publicly that rubbed someone the wrong way.
He seemed like he was really really bothered by it.
He seemed like he was more on the side of
Jonathan Taylor than he was Jim Ersay. But nonetheless, he
(12:06):
got it done. He played peacemaker. He repaired the relationship
and the Indianapolis Colts are better off for it. Job
well done by Chris Ballard. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio.

(12:48):
Weeks and we've got the proof. It's all yours here
again as we take you all the way up until
four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. But the NFL
is doing something. The NFL is flirting with something, and
they are flirting with something that you are.

Not going to like. I'll tell you what that is next.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Hey, this is Tom Verducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And I'm Joe Madden.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
We're going to be around to talk a little bit
about managerial decisions and what may have occurred to the
dugout maybe in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
It's the book of Joe Podcasts. I can't wait for this, Joe.
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in Major League.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Baseball, cars, wind whatever else we want to talk about. Yeah,
well there are no boundaries, right.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Listen to the Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. By the way, this actually
makes me laugh.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So if you're listening on the podcast being played right
now is Dropkick Murphy's what is it rushing back to.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Shipping up to Boston? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Whatever, that too, shipping up to Boston. So it's like
their most famous song. You know, when you think of
Irish when do you think like that's this is one
of the songs you think of. And so when we
were doing the show, Brady Quinn and I from Busker's
Bar in Dublin.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Ireland, which by the way, what a good time that was.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
We're doing the morning show out there and Iowa Sam
is on the board playing all the music. And so
because we're in Ireland, you know, you want to play
like Irish music, and so we're playing all sorts of stuff.
I mean, the Cranberries YouTube, even though you two stinks
like just I'm all these like Irish bands or you know,
(14:45):
people from Ireland, like all of this stuff, like the
Celtic music, all these things, and so Brady and I
are waiting and waiting and waiting, just assuming, all right,
the final song of the week, because the people in
the bar in Ireland can hear the music being played.
We're thinking, all right, final song of the week, no
doubt about it. Sam's gonna play drop Kick. Murphy's absolutely not,
(15:06):
absolutely not, Yeah, that will not be what was being
played there. And we say to We're like Sam, why not? Well,
I just wanted to mix it up. What's wrong with
going with old faithful? You know what's wrong with going
with old faithful? That always works. It's like walking into
a pizza hut and them going, sorry, all we got
(15:26):
a sushi. Okay, but that helps easy like the easiest
go too and just completely whiffs on it. So there's that,
all right, Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. So we
are coming up in I'll call it about We'll call
it about ten minutes from now. I'm calling it the
(15:47):
most miserable time of the year, which is going to
be completely the opposite of what everybody else is saying.
But I'm gonna call it the most miserable time of year,
coming up here in about ten minutes from now in
the worlds and I will prove it to you ten
minutes from now here from the tairaq dot com studios.
But let me just ask your question, because I don't
(16:08):
know if anybody is aware of this, but the NFL
is on the verge of cheating on you. It's true,
they're on the verge of cheating on you. But let
me just ask your personal question. And you don't have
to acknowledge it out loud, you can just say it inside. Okay,
have you ever been cheated on? I mean, there's no
(16:33):
shame in it. Who hasn't. I don't have confirmation that
I've ever been cheated on in relationships, but probably law
of averages and I got news for you. Probably deserved it,
all right, It's nothing I cry about, whatever it happens.
But how does that cheating start? All right, let's break
this down. How does that cheating start?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You know, flirting.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Somebody you're working with, somebody they're working with, you know,
just flirting. Next thing you know, you you trade numbers,
or you follow them on Instagram, or all of a
sudden they're in your snapface, you know, like it.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's little little baby steps to get there, just little,
just some you know, just little some stuff out there.
You start with a compliment. Next thing you know, you
happen to be at the same place after work. Next
thing you know, you guys are going cosmic bowling. Next
thing you know, it's getting later and later, and you're
seeing each other more free and all the time. While
(17:37):
this is happening, there are signs telling everybody around you, Hey,
this doesn't seem right. Hey, something's going on here? Hey sure?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Noticing a lot of back and forth with the comments
on that latest post. Hey how come they like every
photo you're in except for the one with me?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Like, there's just there's little signs, little things that are
out there, and if you pay close enough attention, it's
all right in front of you. And a lot of
people don't want to pay close enough attention because a
lot of people don't want to admit the reality. But
I'm paying attention, and I'm telling you right now, the
NFL is getting ready to cheat on you. They're getting
ready to cheat on you. They're real close. They're flirting.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You see what Roger Goodell said. Roger Goodell, the.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Commissioner of the NFL came out and said that the
NFL is looking at and it's basically a done deal
adding another international game next year.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I mean we don't have enough.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean they're playing in Mexico, Germany, England, Like, what's next?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
The Soudan? What are we doing here? Are we going to?
Speaker 5 (18:50):
I mean, why don't you just take over the CFL, Like,
why don't we do? But they're adding another international game,
and so some of the countries that have been thrown
out there are Bane, Brazil, you know, just just run
of the mill right around the corner, you know, just
don't worry about it. We're just gonna send players on like,
you know, a twelve hour flights. Yeah, they like that,
(19:12):
don't you know. It's it's fine. I'm sure that's good
for the injuries to be up at you know that
that high in the sky and the cabin pressure and
all that. But don't worry about it, you guys, go
over there in the middle of the season, Go go
have fun in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I mean, if I was a player, that's what I
want to do.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I don't get a lot of free time, so let
me spend it on an airplane so I can fly
fifteen hours away in one direction and then have to
fly fifteen hours the next direct. That's why how I
want to spend my weeks. But all of this is
just little baby steps, just you know, just a little
a what do you say? I know we're playing over
(19:49):
in London, but what do you say we make Jacksonville
play there two weeks in a row. Oh that's a
great idea. And what do you say? We do it
like you know, and then maybe think about doing it
more next year. Boy, that is a hell of an idea.
Why don't we do that?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
These are all baby steps to what is eventually going
to happen, and it's the NFL planting its feet in
Europe or some other country, whether it's a whether it's
a division, whether it's a team there permanently, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
I think there's serious consideration to them having a super
Bowl elsewhere, which I think would piss a lot of
people off. I think the NFL looks at this whole
situation and goes, how could we make this even bigger?
We've already cornered the market on American super Bowls. We've
already cornered the market on America. I mean, we've run
(20:49):
out of ideas, So what else are.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
We going to do? Oh, let's make it international.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I'm telling you right now, these are all baby steps
and it's gonna happen to what ex d it goes.
I'm not sure. I don't think it's necessary. I think
the NFL is good. I like the fact that the
NFL is America sport. I like the fact that it's
here locally. I don't want to see a Super Bowl
go elsewhere. I don't want to see teams having a
(21:15):
play elsewhere. I think it's a travel nightmare for some teams.
Like just thinking about if Seattle plays in London, think
about that fly?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
What is that like?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Fourteen fifteen hours something like it's crazy. Like we talked
about being in Ireland with the morning show Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe starring you know who are
those two guys Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington and some other
jof who does a show. But we talked about going
to Irons to Ireland for that show. But it's like
(21:48):
an eleven hour flight. But imagine and that's from LA
to Dublin. Like, what is it going to be in
some of these other countries, Like when are they going
to Australia, Like Australia is so far ahead, It's already
Thanksgiving in Australia, Like they are so far Like what
is this gonna look like? And the NFL continues to
(22:09):
get closer and closer and starting, you know, the relationships growing,
and we're gonna go here and we're gonna add another
team there and we're gonna So if you like the
NFL the way that it is, if you like this
relationship you have with the NFL, you got to start
opening your eyes because they're getting ready to cheat on you.
They're getting ready to take this bad boy elsewhere. They're
(22:31):
shopping around to Brazil and Spain, Mexico got a game,
you know, London's getting multiple weeks in a row now,
Germany's getting some love a couple of times a year.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
It's happening. Now.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
If this turns into a full fledged we've got a
main stay there. Like I said, I have no idea.
If it turns out that it's gonna be, Oh, we're
just gonna have big games there, you know, like the
Super Bowl. I'm not quite sure, but I'm telling you
right now We're getting real, real clothes for you finding
out that the NFL is not just yours, that somebody
(23:06):
else is getting a turn, and you're not gonna like
how that looks on the other side. Jonas Knox Fox

All right, so we are going to have what I
(23:28):
am calling the most miserable time of the year in
sports coming up here shortly. But for all the latest
from around the world of sports, make some noise for
the man himself, Martin Wise.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Jonas is the most miserable time in sports this Saturday
with this Red rivalry.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
What a pain in the asset name is, Martin? I
hate it. I don't know why they do this to us.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I heard you the top at the start of the show,
and you know, I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
They changed the name from what it used to be
because but three rs in a row, one of them
on the way here.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Look at it might just be a me problem. I
still like, like every other time. I still struggle with
Russell Westbrook, Like that's still a problem for me.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Well, it's easy.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I mean the rs and the w's they are they
are what we call the difficult letters here. Peace not
so much, but ours and ws to me, I means.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
It's a pain in the ass. Chris, Chris Purfett, do
you also struggle? Let's see, I can't even do it now.
It's just that rivalry. This is that particular word rivalry.
It doesn't come off your tongue right like something about
it just it sounds like you just want to like
turn into rival or rivalry or Yeah, it's just it's
the most difficult word I've heard in my life.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, it's really annoying.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
So for anybody out there that maybe hears us slip
up when we say that name, why don't you, why
don't you be decent human beings, have some grace, have
some forgiveness, and understand that we're struggling.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Through this, just like you are.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Well in that red rebel Rivalry number three Texas a
number twelve Oklahoma, facing off twenty seven to seventeen Sooners
right now with about seven minutes and thirty seconds left
in the third.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Quarter of LONGHRNS word driving, but they turned it over.
That's their third tone over of the day.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Number four Ohio State is in Oh goodness, grace, let
me update that score real quick, my bet in the meantime.
Number twenty three LSU twenty seven, number twenty one Missouri
twenty five in the Battle of the Tigers right now,
that one midway through the late in the fourth quarter,
Number four Ohio State. Look Jonas they are in a
dog far right now versus Maryland seventeen apiece six thirty
(25:22):
left in the third quarter right there and in the shoe.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
And it had not been looking good by.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
The way, did you see so traveon Henderson. They're, you know,
one of their top players. They're running back.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
So they ruled him out like about two hours like
him and like four other players got ruled out of
about two hours before kickoff.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And nobody seems to know why. Nobody seems to have
a clear answerst why. So I'm just wondering kind of
what's going on there behind the scenes with that story.
I try.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I reached out to Brady Quinn to try and get
some information, complete failure.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
He's he's just an a hole, and I don't even
want to share what he wrote on the text because
it's insulting. But the point is that is something to monitor.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Traveon Henderson out and nobody seems to have an answer
as to why.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I don't know why Travon Henderson myiths, but it sounds
like Brady Quinny's submiss for a violation of teammate rules.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I mean, Jim's.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Gracious, Yeah, I know I tried to get some inpot.
He wouldn't give me an info.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Rude Rangers and Orioles Game one of the Alds right now,
it's the top of the second.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Orioles have one onto the bottom of the first. Couldn't
get him home about two hours till Bailey ober takes.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Him out for the Twins, versus Verlander for the Astros Rangers,
Suarez for the Phillies, takes on Smectra Strider for the Braves.
Tonight and Merril Kelly Toes are over for the Diamondbacks.
Clayton Kershaw gets the game one start for the Dodgers.
All of those Game one to the al and Nlds
and the colt of Jonathan Taylor remember all summer, like,
who was he gonna play for well for the next
three years, it'll be the Colts. They agreed to a
(26:41):
three year, forty two million dollar contract, twenty six million
dollars guaranteed. Expect they see him next to ar five
Anthony richardson Sunday versus the Titans.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Jonas back to.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
You, Thank you, Martin. It is Jonas Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio. We are going to have another edition
of Do You Care? Come it up here, and we'll
call it less than fifteen minutes from now, because listen,
you've been force fed a lot of topics in the
world of sports. There's been a lot of stories that
have been shoved down your throat and into your ears
against your will over the past, you know, a few days,
(27:12):
and we're gonna go ahead and tell you the brutal
truth about all of those stories.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
All right.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
So it's a fun little segment. We just let it
fly here and that's going to be happening again a
little less than fifteen minutes from now from the tiraq
dot Com studios.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
All right. So there's a lot.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Of people that look at right now and they go, man,
this is the best time of year in sports. October's here,
And also can we just point this out. I love
how the second October gets here, all of everybody starts
breaking out their fall colors.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Like everybody's got little mini.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Pumpkins out, you know, like all of a sudden, there's
hay stacks in front of some apartment somewhere, because you know,
you get to celebrate fall. Everybody's got some pumpkin latte
appuccino or some pumpkin cupcakes lying around. You've got like
little mini scarecrows that are hanging out outside. It's like,
oh my god, falls here. Look the leaves are turning brown.
(28:11):
It's like one hundred degrees out here in southern California.
This is not fall. This is the middle of summer.
And I don't care what the calendar says. The calendar
can kiss my ass, because Mother Nature determines whether or
not it's fall. And out here in southern California, we
are staring one hundred degrees square in the eyes. And
you've got people walking around in ug boots and pumpkin
(28:33):
FRAPs thinking that it's like sixty degrees out with a
brisk breeze coming off the coast, and there's the leaves
falling everywhere, and we've got it's football. Stop, get it together.
Pay attention to mother nature, not the calendar that's lying
to you. But never mind all that. Let's focus on
this right. Keep your head in the game, stay focused.
(28:57):
This is a miserable time of year in sports, and
I don't want to hear anything about, Well, it's the
baseball playoffs and the nfls here in college football and
we've got, you know, now, all of a sudden, we're
playing conference games, and the NBA's right around the corner.
I don't care about any of that crap. Let me
tell you why it's miserable. If you were a fan
of one of the teams remaining in the Major League
Baseball playoffs, this is a miserable existence for you. It's
(29:21):
miserable because and I've said this, and I actually one
hundred percent believe this, and it's only within the last
year or so that I've started to take a turn.
I always thought the NHL playoffs were the best, and
the NHL playoffs are still great. I'm now saying that
(29:44):
the MLB playoffs are the most exciting playoff format in
sports because in the NHL it's so fast, you don't
have really a time to understand what's going on, Like
you don't think about what potential problems or disasters could
have happen. It's just happening so fast, and by the
time of game's over, you're like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Geez, but like you can't even keep track of it.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
And it's exciting and it's fun, but it's like, oh
my god, like you don't even have time to take
a drink. In major league baseball, that's all you've got
is time. And I don't care about the pitch clock,
because in major League Baseball, when you're rooting for one
of these playoff teams, all of a sudden it gets
to the fifth inning and a one to one count.
(30:30):
Going to two and one completely changes your mood because
now you're thinking about every potential disaster for the next
twenty seconds. Oh my god, it's two and one. Oh god,
he's gonna lay out this pitch. And this guy's been
wild all season long in these moments. Oh my god,
now it's three in one. Oh you can't load the bases.
My god, it's a fifth inning and this game is
tied and we're already down to one in the series. Oh,
(30:53):
this is this is gonna. All you're doing is thinking
about disaster.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You have no choice, and all they do is give
you time to think about it. In the NHL, you
can't keep track. There's so much going on. It's like, oh,
oh we lost. Yeah, man, that sucks, but geez, I
don't wait.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
What now? In Major League Baseball?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
No no, no, no, no, no no no, we're gonna make
this hard on you, and we're gonna make it hard
on you for a long time, and you're gonna have
to think about it all. And at the end of
it all, you're like the guy with the head and
the vice in Goodfellas or Casino, one of those movies,
(31:36):
whichever one it was. Casino, Goodfellas, you know, the guy
Tony Doggs. He's sitting there with his head and device
and Joe Peschi's trying to get an answer out of him,
and he keeps twisting the vice and the guy's eyes
are about to pop out of his head, and finally,
at the end of it, he just says, kill me,
just get it over with. Toughest guy in the world,
(31:58):
wouldn't give up a name, to give up Charlie m
until the very end, and then finally at the end
of it, just said, kill me, Please kill me. Like
fans of these teams in Major League Baseball that are remaining,
they're gonna be sitting there with a head and the vice,
just wanting the game to be over with because all
it does is make your life miserable. And I tell
(32:20):
this story every year because I swear to God, I
don't think I'm lying. Ryan Berschinger executive producer, former executive
producer before he got too good for this time slot.
Ryan Berschinger is a diehard Dodger fan. I watched him
age fifteen years during one Dodgers Mets playoff game. It
might have been the Nationals. Actually, I watched his hair
(32:43):
turn gray. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen
in my life. He looked like Tom Hanks on Big.
Like he literally looked like Tom Hanks on the movie Big.
He goes to bed as an eight year old and
wakes up thirty five with his feet hanging over the
edge of the mattress. So if you're one of these
(33:05):
people having to deal with this awful, miserable existence that
is the MLB playoffs, it's fun for everybody on the outside.
I got no problem watching the movie Casino. I got
no issues with it whatsoever. I just don't want to
be Tony Doggs with my head and the vice Jonas
Knox here Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at
(33:25):
the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knox on Twitter, and
he can hang out with us as always on the
iHeartRadio app. All right, so we are going to have
another edition of do You Care?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
All right?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Stick around? It's fun. Some have called called it negative.
I don't think it is. We're just speaking truce here
on this show and it's yours here on FSR. Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio. By the way, number twelve Oklahoma up
twenty seven to twenty over number three Texas.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Let me try this in the Red River rivalry. Yeah,
I'm talking about right there, a minute and a half
to go in the third quarter. So we got another
fun one there the game.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
By the way, the start of that game was insanity.
You've got quinn Ewers throwing a pick, Oklahoma scoring. Texas
goes down the field, quinn Ewers tipped interception, Oklahoma gets
the ball back, then there's a blocked kick. Then on
the ensuing kickoff, Oklahoma attempts some you know end around.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It looked good at.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
First and then it should look like a forward path
like it just it's been bananas. So nothing no surprise here,
and Texas is down twenty seven to twenty nearly a
completion there or nearly an interception again by Texas, but
nonetheless Oklahoma's got this lead. And you'd have to imagine
with the way everybody's talking about Quinn viewers and his development.
(35:01):
And Steve Sarkisian is the head coach, like Petro's Papadakis
has been saying this for a while now, and he
comes on the show with us every on the Morning
Show every Wednesday, and Petros says, man, I just can't
trust sark He goes, I can't trust him. I'm not
falling for this again because it feels like in these moments,
Sarkisian's teams come up short, and as of right now,
they have come up short. They were favored going into
(35:23):
this game, but with a minute and change left to
go in the third quarter, Texas is trailing twenty seven
to twenty. All right, it's coming up top next hour.
Though here from the ti raq dot Com studios, somebody's
making a critical mistake in the NFL. They're making a
huge mistake. I'll tell you why that is that a
little over ten minutes from now, But right now, it's
time for this.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
DMS reports. Let's get kinky.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.
But Jonas, the real question is do you.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Care for that?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
We turned it over to our executive producer Bo Benson
to find out what the hell people have been talking
about all week.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
Bo, Yeah, you were talking about Ryan Berschinger and his
mood during Dodger playoff games.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:10):
Around the studio here there is actually a thing known
as playoff bursch. You kind of see you clear of him.
It's it's it's tough.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
But oh, I don't like if I was his Like
if I was his fiance, I just like move out
for him.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I just swear to God, like I don't want to
be around here.
Speaker 8 (36:25):
And I say this, I say this knowing full well
that I am not any better and we'll not have
a pleasant evening today is not.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Yeah, And and listen you can hear Bo and Bursch.
Are you guys still doing the swing.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, we sure are, thank you. Yeah, how about that?
Oh wow, a little little bit, a little bit of
love here.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
So the Dolphins made a trade for embattled Bears wide
receiver Chase Claypool, and the forty nine ers traded for
a battled defensive end Randy Gregory from the Broncos. Do
you care about either of these moves here?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yes? And here's what first love it?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Reasons Number one, Chase Claypool has already been traded toy
at a certain point, maybe it's you, you know what
I mean, like at a certain point, maybe maybe maybe
there's a problem with Chase Claypool. So there's that, And
I just find it funny how it's always the same
teams making moves, like it's either the Eagles, the Niners,
(37:17):
or the Dolphins. And coincidentally enough, they just happen to
be three of the top teams in the NFL. Good
who knew if you get aggressive and start making moves
that you can go ahead and benefit from all this?
So it is interesting to see just that dynamic continue
to take place in the National Football League.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
Next, Packers left tackle David Botieri's gonna need a fifth
knee surgery. He's gonna miss the remainder of the season
and hard to believe he's gonna come back at all.
So Jonas, do you care about this one at all?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah? This sucks, man, I mean they get.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
What's crazy is that two weeks after signing his big
contract extension, his big payday in the NFL, he blows
out his knee back in I think December of twenty
twenty one, or it might have been twenty twenty. But
he's never been right since he's tried to come back.
He played the first game of the season, and everyone
(38:09):
remember there was this little conspiracy that was thrown out
there that maybe David Bochtiari didn't play in Atlanta in
Week two because he didn't want to play on artificial turf.
It's like, no, dude, he's got a serious knee issue.
There continues to be problems. Apparently it wasn't fixed after
the first surgery, and so now he's dealing with all this.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It sucks. I hope he comes back, but you have
to wonder, to your point whether or not he can.
Next Suns small forward Kevin Durant was named as an
r on Drake's new album For All the Dogs. Do
you care at all?
Speaker 8 (38:37):
Here? What the hell's A and R artists in repertoire?
He was, you know, he helped make the album with Drake.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Oh No, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I mean, what does he want some royalties? What are
you hurting for cash?
Speaker 8 (38:49):
Next, Commander's part owner Magic Johnson took to Twitter to
bemoan the team's effort in their forty to twenty loss
to the Bears on Thursday, saying they played with no
intensity or fire? Do you care at all?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
The kind of just.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
From the I just I just want to know what's
going on there, Like I want to know whether or
not Magic Johnson's actually doing it, because at this point
I think it's a comedy skit.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
I think that he's very aware that he sends the
most pointless tweets on planet Earth and for some reason
just continues to fire him off.
Speaker 8 (39:19):
Next, Megan Rappino's final match drew a National Women's Soccer
League attendance record. Do you care?
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Nope? This?
Speaker 8 (39:27):
Aaron Rodgers and Travis Kelcey exchanged their vaccine related barbs
over the week. Rogers called him mister Pfizer, and Travis
Kelcey noted that Aaron Rodgers paychecks are signed by an
air to the Johnson and Johnson fortune. J want to
see you care at all here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:42):
I do.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
I definitely care about that.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
That this you know, t swift crap that's been shoved
out our throat.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Look, guys can't bust balls, all right, even if it's
VACS related. I think it's hilarious and I love how
people get so uptight about it, Like Mike Floorio. Every
time the term vaccine pops up, Florio's got to write
seven articles about it.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 8 (40:04):
Next with Oklahoma plaining Texas, I saw a picture of
a stall selling deep fried fireball shots?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Do you care?
Speaker 8 (40:11):
And do you want to do one with me?
Speaker 5 (40:12):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
And I don't even like fireballs? How do you deep fry? Really?
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Have to do it carefully?
Speaker 7 (40:20):
Really?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Just like, how does that happen? Yeah? Like it's alcohol.
Wouldn't that start a fire?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
I mean it seems like a horrible idea, But if
you were going to deep fry anything, why not a
fireball shot?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I'm in let's make this happen. So we've got a
little bit of an update here.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
We have got an update somebody has spoken, what kind
of they've kind of spoken, and they've given their two
cents on a major story in the NFL. We'll get
into that for you here coming up in just a
couple of moments. From now, Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
You can hang out with us as always on the
iHeartRadio app. You can find us on hundreds of affiliates

(41:17):
So a big moment just took place in the Red
River rivalry. Yeah, two for two, baby Red, I'm not
even going to try it again. Oklahoma has a twenty
seven to twenty lead over Texas eleven and a half
minutes left to go in the game. It has been
a fantastic game. All sorts of craziness has gone on.
(41:39):
Texas just went for it on fourth and goal. They
tried a screen pass and it looks like they were
stopped inches short of the goal line on fourth and goal,
so they are reviewing the play. Obviously it's very very close.
It was called short of the goal line and Oklahoma
takes over on downs on the field, so they're going
(42:00):
to review it take a look at this, but it
does look like Texas has been stopped on fourth and goal.
Oklahoma will get the ball back up twenty seven to
twenty with eleven and a half minutes left to go
in that game.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
So it's been it's.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Been wild, and if you're Oklahoma, you can't feel comfortable
because you've already had a kick blocked. So you've got
to try and get pick up a first down, get
this ball out of the end zone if you do
take over, because it looks like they're going to get
the ball on about the one inch yard line, so
it'll be on the or excuse me, the one inch line,
not the one inch yard line.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
What am I saying? What an idiot? The one inch line.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
So it does look like Oklahoma's going to get the
football back, and we will monitor this situation here and
see whether or not this is confirmed on the field.
And the Sooners continue to hold onto their lead twenty
seven to twenty in the fourth quarter. All right, so
another update here in regards to this game. We do
have a picture, We do have documentation of the deep
(42:58):
fried fire ball shot that that Bo Benson pointed out.
Not Ryan bersching Er. We were talking about him during
the break. Don't worry about it. It was all bad things.
So Bursch if you're listening, we ripped you in half
during the break. But Bo Benson pointed out the deep
fried fireball shot that they're selling at the Red River
rivalry game three for three, And I don't get it, Bo,
(43:21):
I don't understand what it is like what it looks like.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Like half a Twinkie dipped in a fireball.
Speaker 8 (43:28):
So it's it's deep fried angel food cake. It's basically
funnel cake. And then they just throw it in a
shot glass with some fireball.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Oh so you know you're not actually yeah, because wouldn't
make sense, you can't, but you.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
Still yeah, but you still get it. I'm sure that
that thing soaks up all the the fireballs. You get it.
It's a two for for sure, and I sense everything's
bigger in Texas. I'm sure it's a double shot anyway.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Oh okay, wait, it does look like a double shot.
It definitely does.
Speaker 8 (43:53):
I'm looking at all the different foods like that they
have at the State Fair. Deep fried Vietnamese coffee that sounds, boy,
that's necessary. A fried money crystal which looks like it
has a peanut butter and jell already, fry money crystal.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
Yeah, isn't that like a breakfast sandwich?
Speaker 8 (44:10):
Yeah, it's with like French toast. My dad loves it.
It's uh, it's got it's got some additions to it though.
It's it's Texas.
Speaker 5 (44:16):
I mean, I mean it just like everything you rattled
off just is like, okay, diabetes check diabetes, Okay, yeah,
we're good here. Like everything you rattled off just sound
it sounds great and awful for you. Deep fried fireball shot.
So it's not yet because it would't make sense. You
can't deep fry alcohol otherwise you just blow the whole
building up.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
Couldn't she do it as like a baked Alaska kind
of like fitted in the middle of I don't.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
Know, yeah, I don't know, very very strange.
Speaker 8 (44:42):
How many pounds of how many pounds of oil? Do
you think the Texas State Fair goes through?
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Its so gross?
Speaker 4 (44:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Yeah? And where do they dump all that? Everything?
Speaker 8 (44:50):
Everything on this slide show says deep Fried at some
point in the name it's deep Fried sushi bomb. Oh god,
it's like Panada surface.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Where does all the oil go? You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (45:02):
Like does that just end up in the golf of Mexico?
And next thing, you know, like a seagull crawls out
of the water and looks like that dragon off Game
of Thrones, you know what I mean? Like it just
it feels like nothing good could come out of this.
By the way, it is confirmed on the field, Oklahoma
has the ball back. So they stopped Texas a couple
of inches short of.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
The goal line.
Speaker 5 (45:21):
So Oklahoma gets the football back and they have now
just picked up a big first down on first down,
a thirteen yard gain, and so Oklahoma gets a little
bit of breathing room in that game, up twenty seven
to twenty with eleven minutes and change left to go
there in the Red River rivalry.
Speaker 8 (45:36):
Can I just say real quick how crazy it is?
To say Oklahoma and goal line stand in the same sentence.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Come on, why do you have to be so negative? Bo? Look.
Speaker 8 (45:44):
As a long suffering Oklahoma fan, that was that was
something to watch.
Speaker 5 (45:48):
Yeah, But as an Eagles fan, how happy are you
about Jalen Hurts?
Speaker 8 (45:52):
Yeah, that's well, yeah, I gotta I gotta eat some
crow on that one, because I did not believe in
Jalen Hurts as a professional football player. But he's proven
everybody wrong at this point.
Speaker 5 (46:02):
Although I will say this, not quite the same players
last year like there is you know, I mean, they're
still get undefeated all that, but you know, he's not
put He's not having the MVP type season he was,
but you know he's still I love Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I loved his journey.
Speaker 5 (46:16):
I loved what you know if in Philadelphia finding him
in the second round and making him their franchise quarterback
was the right move. I think he's great for the
for the franchise, all right, So we do have that. Also,
Jim Rsay has spoken. Jim Ersay, the owner of the
Indianapolis Colts. You know the same guy who said a
(46:36):
couple of months ago at Colts training camp, I could
die tomorrow and Jonathan Taylor could be out of the
league and nobody would care. Well, the Indianapolis Colts have
signed Jonathan Taylor, if you're just tuning in, to a
three year, forty two million dollar contract. So Jonathan Taylor
does get paid. He gets his big time contract and
(46:59):
it's twenty six and have million dollars guaranteed. So he
will be in the lineup coming up tomorrow as the
Colts take on the Titans, which all of a sudden
is a big matchup in the AFC South, and Jim
Mersay took to Twitter and said, we've extended Jonathan. He's
a special player and this extension is important knowing the
impact he'll make as our team develops under Shane Steichen,
(47:20):
I have no doubt he'll continue to create highlight plays
and memories for our fans. He deserves this deal and
I'm happy for him. Now, I just want to know
whether or not it was Chris Ballard who took hold
of Jim Mersey's Twitter account and sent that out, because
Jim Mersay strikes me as the type of guy you
can't really trust in these situations. I'm just saying, but
they've mended fenses. They've gotten the deal done and everything
(47:42):
is a okay, everything is fine, and Jim Irsay and
the Indianapolis Colts have themselves. They're starting running back back
with the team in the lineup and for the next
several years. All right, So can we talk about somebody
who's making a big mistake.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Evan Neil.
Speaker 5 (48:03):
Evan Neil, I mean, come on, man, embrace all of this.
So he's apologized now multiple times on the record. Okay,
the latest was Thursday. I'm remorseful. I could have used
a better choice of words. I come from humble beginnings.
(48:23):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. It's like, I mean,
what is the I mean, he had to talk to teammates,
the media is all, you know, out in front of
his locker, like, I mean, all of this, I mean,
you know, they're having Brian Day balls being asked about it.
Evan Neil's talking about frustration and loves the Giants fan
and I'm just thinking to myself, like, dude, why are
(48:45):
you apologizing so much? Like what is Evan Neil the
offensive lineman for the Giants have to apologize for? I mean,
the Giants should probably apologize for not giving Saquon Barkley
the long term deal, enfranchising Daniel Jones. Maybe they should
be apologizing, But why is Evanil apologizing? Oh?
Speaker 1 (49:02):
That's right because he had.
Speaker 5 (49:04):
One of the great lines that we've seen in a
long long time in the NFL, I mean, a classic line.
So Evan Neil, upon hearing the Giants booing the Giants
fans booing the team at MetLife Stadium, which they have
plenty of reason to boo them because the Giants are awful.
(49:24):
Quote the person that's commenting on my performance, what does
he do? Flip hot dogs and hamburger somewhere?
Speaker 1 (49:33):
What a great line, What a great line? Now, I
get it, I get it. He's now.
Speaker 5 (49:39):
So he's apologized a couple of times, and like I said,
day Balls had to speak about it and all this
other stuff, and he's got to. And now Evan Neil's
got to talk about humble beginnings.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Dude, just go with it. What do they do flip
hot dogs and hamburger somewhere? What's wrong with that?
Speaker 5 (49:55):
I'm serious now, as somebody who's had awful jobs before
and jobs that were really really to like, listen, man,
try cleaning the carpets at a kindergarten in the middle
of summer. That's what I had to do, steam clean
carpets as a janitor when school was out in the
middle of summer. You know what it's like in the
(50:19):
middle of summer, in a hundred degree weather having to
steam clean urine off a carpet in a classroom. Do
you know what that smells like? And it's not like
I could go into the janitor's closet and get an
N ninety five nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Like, do you know what.
Speaker 5 (50:39):
It's like having to clean the restrooms at a Toys
r US. I was the maintenance guy Toys r US
And you're probably thinking yourself, Oh, so you like repair
all the toys. Like if somebody's you know, WWE ring
is missing a turnbuckle, you're the guy they go to
to screw it back in.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Oh, absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (50:58):
I'm the guy who's cleaning the tampon dispenser inside the
women's restroom. I'm the one who's got to take out
all the dirty diapers that somebody leaves laying around because
they're too lazy to take care of their kid.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
That's my job. I had to do that. It sucks
bus boy TGI Fridays.
Speaker 5 (51:19):
You think that's all glitz and glamour, And I've not
once mentioned being the rabbit check e cheese all.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
But listen, I've had really tough gigs.
Speaker 5 (51:29):
I've done it, washed dishes, construction, landscaping, painted curve.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
I kept all that stuff. We were poor. We grew
up poor.
Speaker 5 (51:42):
I had to have a job otherwise there was going
to be no money. Oh you want to buy your yearbook?
Speaker 1 (51:45):
Get a job.
Speaker 5 (51:47):
Oh oh you want to buy a pack of gum
at CBS for thirty five cents, Go recycle cans like
I get it, hum up, get all that stuff. But
you can't tell me that. Evan Neil saying, what are
they doing flipping hot dogs and hamburgers somewhere isn't funny.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (52:09):
And I think anybody that's up at arms and offended
by this, you got to learn to play by the rules,
because if you want to be able to criticize an athlete,
or criticize anybody, you shouldn't bitch and moan when they
come right back at you. There are rules here, there
are rules of engagement. You can't shoot and not duck
(52:32):
and get hit with return fire and then start crying
about it later. These fans are criticizing him as a player,
they're criticizing what he does for work, and he's simply
criticizing him back and flipping hamburgers and hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (52:47):
Is a great line. That's a great line. Well, he
doesn't know what real work is. How do you know?
And even if he doesn't, who cares? It's a great line.
Speaker 5 (52:58):
And if I were Evan Neil, I think he's making
a mistake, a big mistake. This is the most we've
talked about Evan Neil probably in the history of his
football playing career, and I might even listening. He gets
to the NFL, that's big news, all that stuff. But
we're talking about a right tackle for one of the
(53:19):
worst teams in the league. And that's exactly what the
Giants are. When everybody wants to talk about Daniel Jones
and Brian day Ball and all the other things and
Saquon Barkley and all the other things that come with
being a New York Giant, we're talking about a right tackle.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
And why are we talking about him?
Speaker 5 (53:33):
Because he had one of the great comebacks of all
time and instead of him embracing it and carrying this on.
He's apologizing and Brian da Ball is having to talk
about it, and then he's apologizing again and blah blah blah. Dude,
embrace the art of being a heel. Just accept it.
There's nothing wrong with it. Funny is funny, whether it's
(53:57):
about you or somebody else. If it's funny, it's funny.
And sometimes you gotta stop being so sensitive and just acknowledge.
The guy had a great line. There's a great line. Now,
technically speaking, you can't flip hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Your roll them right. Nobody's flipping a hot dog otherwise
you're not cooking it all the way through.
Speaker 5 (54:20):
So he did kind of make a critical air and
is put down there. But nonetheless, Evan Neil I wasn't
offended by it. I thought it was hilarious. I think
you should embrace it. There's nothing wrong with somebody talking
trash to you, and you talk and trash back. Sometimes
you've got to embrace some of the negativity that comes
your way.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
For example, Paul writes in.
Speaker 5 (54:45):
You're Broke and failed, Bleep, You're more irrelevant than any
blue collar gig as nothing more than a hack board
op that's a slot filler that actual talents don't want
to be bothered with you, bleep gobbler. Troy writes in
Joff Joni, put on your number eighty seven Swifty Chiefs

with your loser swifty squad to react to every shot

(55:53):
at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. Coming up next here
from the Tirak dot com studios, there is a coach
who's very bothered about some recent comments regarding his starting quarterback,
and you'll hear him next, Jonas Knox. Here Fox Sports Radio,
(56:14):
we've got a touchdown at the Red River rivalry. The
Texas Longhorns have scored and have tied the game twenty
seven twenty seven late in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (56:31):
So this has been a game that's been all over
the place.
Speaker 5 (56:34):
We've got six minutes left to go there and number
three Texas and number twelve Oklahoma are tied at twenty
seven apiece. Oklahoma had the football. They stopped Texas at
the goal line, which what it looked to be about
an inch short of scoring. They took the football over,
they drove down the field, they attempted a forty five
(56:56):
yard field goal. They missed that field goal. Texas got
the ball back and they scored on a twenty seven
yard run and the Longhorns have tied the Sooners. It
is twenty seven apiece. It has been a fantastic football
game there with six minutes left to go, so we
will keep you posted on that and keep you updated
on that. There's also been a couple of other great
games going on. Missouri has a thirty nine thirty five
(57:19):
lead over LSU twenty one over twenty three right now
with under four minutes left to go in that game.
And then it looked like Ohio State was gonna have
some trouble with Maryland. They were down early, but since
then they pulled away. They've got a thirty four to
seventeen lead over Maryland with under five minutes now left
to go in that game as well too from the
Horseshoe in Columbus. So all sorts of good stuff here
(57:42):
and again we will keep you updated on all of
that throughout the course of this show. And we've got
a half hour and change left to go, so we
should have some finals for you here on FSR. So
let's let's talk about a coach sticking up for his guy.
You know, a coach sticking up for his QB, and
that coach is Kyle Shanahan, because Kyle Shanahan does not
(58:05):
like the fact that people are talking about Brock Purty
as a quote unquote system QB or a product of
the system.
Speaker 1 (58:12):
And if you don't think so, you just take a listen.
What would you say to those who say that Brock
is still largely a product of your system?
Speaker 9 (58:21):
I mean, that's pretty ridiculous to this guy watch the table.
I mean, he plays at a high level every time
he's been out there, and he's done it in a
lot of different situations versus a lot of different defenses
on the road, at home, in playoff games. When injured,
you can't do all that stuff. He's been out there
too long, it's on tape.
Speaker 1 (58:40):
Let's just say this.
Speaker 5 (58:42):
Even if he was a product of the system, even
if he is a system quarterback, who cares?
Speaker 1 (58:50):
What does it matter? If he's a product of the
system but it's working, what does it matter?
Speaker 5 (59:00):
What does he need to do go somewhere else just
to prove himself? Like could you imagine that? Like you're
in a successful marriage and somebody says, yeah, but if
you weren't in that marriage, you wouldn't be going as well.
If you were in some other relationship, it wouldn't be
going as well. Oh yeah, well how about I just
(59:22):
get divorced? Then no, you stay in the in the
one that's working. Why would you want to try something
else on just to see whether or not it was work? Like?
Speaker 1 (59:31):
Why? It doesn't make sense. So when people talk about
brock party and they go, well, he's just a system quarterback.
So what.
Speaker 5 (59:39):
The whole point is to find something that works for you.
It's like having a real comfortable pair of shoes and
throwing them away because they're too comfortable. No no, no, no, no, no,
got it. Now now this is working too well.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
I got to prove I got to prove that my
feet can work in other shoes. No, you find something
you like, you stay with it. That's it.
Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
Like we're not we're not sampling stuff at costco here. Hey,
what do you what do you think of that? Uh
that you know cheese samwich you had over there? No?
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
I mean it was okay?
Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
All right? Yeah you want to you want to try
this ramen bomb that they've got over in that next style? Well, yeah,
I better just to prove that I can try multiples.
I better show that my palette. No, you go with
what you go with, and it's working with brock Purty.
Who cares if he's a system quarterback? Would it work
(01:00:33):
like this elsewhere?
Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
I don't know. Hopefully we don't have to find out.
What does it matter? Say, hey, you're a great dad. Thanks.
Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
Yeah, but if if that wasn't your kid, yeah, I
don't think he'd be as good of a dad.
Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Oh you don't think so? Huh?
Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
Here watch this, I'm gonna give him up for adoption.
I'm gonna prove you wrong, you bastard. I'll prove you wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Right. No, why would anybody do that?
Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
If it's working, it's working, it's working with brock party
and you can say, well, you know Kyle Shanahan and
then okay, I mean say whatever you want. But the
forty nine ers chose brock Purty's their guy. They moved
on from Trey Lance, and hopefully brock Purty never has
to go anywhere. Look, there was a lot of these
(01:01:16):
conversations about Tom Brady early in his career. And I'm
not saying it's the same. I'm not trying to compare
the two, but there was a lot of conversations about
Brady early in his career where people said, yeah, it's
Brady really that good.
Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
It feels like he's.
Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
A product of the New England system, like he benefits
from a great defense and this and that and that.
It's like, okay, so what did you want them to
do trade him after year three? Which super Bowl win
did you want them to get rid of him at?
Like was it super Bowl one? Or was it like two?
Three or four? Like which one? Like which one? Did
(01:01:50):
you want him to go elsewhere so that he could
prove himself to you? Like it's just like the idea
that this is an insult, like, oh, well, you're just
a product of this, okay, Like if somebody were to say, hey, man,
you're just a product of Fox Sports Radio. If you
went to ESPN or somewhere else, you wouldn't be as good.
Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Cool. I mean, I hope I don't have to leave Cool.
Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
I don't want to leave. Call me a product of
the system all you want. I hope I'm here for
the next thirty years. I don't want to go anywhere else.
I'm not look at you like I've got to prove
myself elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
No, I'm good here. It's not an insult.
Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
So when somebody throws that out there, it's like, why
would you want him to have to go anywhere else?
Like if I was brock pretty, I don't want to
go anywhere else. I like where I'm at. They drafted him,
they brought him in. Kyle Shannan likes working with him.
He likes working with Kyle Shanahan. He's got a loaded
(01:02:50):
roster around him, whether it's because of the pieces around him,
or the coach or the defense or whatever. I mean,
call it whatever you want, doesn't matter. And those are
the breaks. Like sometimes you find yourself in a great
spot and sometimes you don't. Like you could say, like
(01:03:11):
there's a lot of examples of quarterbacks who are probably
looking at brock Perty going oh, man, I would love
to have that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
Sam Darnold signed with the forty nine ers for a reason.
He said it himself. Yeah, it just looks like an
offense and a place where you know guys are gonna
get open, and guys are always open. I remember talking
to David Anderson, former NFL wide receiver the Pride one
thousand Oaks High School where I went by the way,
and I remember David Anderson who played for Kyle Shanahan
(01:03:40):
for a year in Washington, and I asked him. I
was like, Hey, what does Shanahan do? That's just different
because everyone talks about what an elite play caller he is, Like,
what does he do that's different? I remember David Henderson
telling me like, yeah, dude, like you're just you're running
a route and all of a sudden, you catch the
ball and you look around and nobody's there. You're just
(01:04:00):
wide open. And that's because Kyle Shanahan dials it up.
He just designed stuff to where you look. You'll catch
the ball in the corner of the end zone and
you're looking around, going where is everybody like nobody's around.
It's like, dude, So you can say, like, oh, well,
you know, brock Perty's a product to that. All right, fine,
call me a product of the system. As far as
(01:04:22):
why my marriage works, Okay, I'm not looking to go
prove myself elsewhere. So the idea that a system quarterback
is an insult I think I've always thought is dumb,
and Kyle Shannan is pointing that out, like, dude, stop,
He's had success and whether it's me or whether it's
him or somebody else, it doesn't matter. It's irrelevant to
the conversation. They're one of the best teams, if not
(01:04:44):
the best team.
Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
In the league.
Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
And by the way, they're going to be providing a
lot of content, a lot of content because no matter
how that game turns out on Sunday Night Football, no
matter how that turns out between the Cowboys and the
forty nine ers, that will be lead on every show
the next day, because if San Francisco finally loses, you're
gonna have Cowboys, gas bags and blowhards take over the
(01:05:09):
airwaves and talk about how great they are and how
much they're a Super Bowl contender. And on the flip side,
if Dallas goes out and loses to San Francisco again
multiple years in a row, been eliminated the last two
years in the playoffs, and then loses this one on
national television with monster ratings and everybody watching. You know,
(01:05:31):
people are going to be getting ready to close the
casket of Dak Prescott and the Cowboys on national radio
and television. So however that game goes, it's gonna provide
a lot of content for a lot of people that
do what I do. Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio.
Get me on Twitter again, at the Jonas Knox at
the Jonas Knox on Twitter. All right, so we are
going to have some knox locks coming up here because
(01:05:51):
it's been a huge, huge, past couple of weeks for
Knox locks. But we must find out what the hell
is happening in the Red River rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma.
And to do so, we do it with the man
who's always nice, and it's Martin Weiss.
Speaker 7 (01:06:08):
Well in that Red River rivalry, Jonas, Oh, Ben, there
you go. Now, you guys, look number three Texas right now,
it's tied twenty seven to twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (01:06:18):
But the Longhorns have the ball and they're driving.
Speaker 7 (01:06:20):
Is just they just got a first down right now
two minutes thirty five seconds left than that one as
we tend to an injured Oklahoma player on the field
right now now number four in the nation Ohio state
with they thirty seven and twenty seven lead super late
in the fourth quarter of There in the Shoe, that
one was closer than it was in the first half.
Number in the Battle of the Tigers, twenty three ranked LSU,
number twenty one ranked Missouri. It's LSU forty two. Oh
(01:06:42):
my goodness, LSU forty two, Missouri thirty nine. If Brady
Cook got sacked fumbled backwards, turning thirty six to fourth
and thirty two, then Missouri got twenty eight yards on
fourth down, LSU had the ball in a wrong fifty
yard line.
Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
Missouri still has three timeouts.
Speaker 7 (01:06:56):
On second down, Jayalen Daniels fumbles the snap, Yeah, fumbles
the snap one which should.
Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Have been a Reid option.
Speaker 7 (01:07:03):
They lost like ten yards on the play now was
third and I don't know off the top of my
third and I think twenty Missouri still has the time out.
Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
The last team to have the.
Speaker 5 (01:07:11):
Ball this one was this game and by the way
Martin I said it earlier. You just got a feeling
with how these games started. It's gonna be a weird
one today. I mean, like any any ranked opponent who's
favored beyond high alert because crazy stuff is happening around
college football.
Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
One hundred percent. Now, this score looks pretty normal, the number.
Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
Thirteen of Washington three to nothing lead over UCLA midway
through the fourth quarter. There in baseball, the Rangers and
the Orioles playing Game one of the Alds right now.
So it's midway through the fourth and the fifth innings,
Rangers with a two to zero lead, and Bailey ober.
Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Takes them ount for the Twins Versussin Merlander.
Speaker 7 (01:07:47):
Later on today we got the Phillies and the Braves,
the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers, all of those also Game one.
And you just mentioned this a little while ago. Jim
Irsay didn't die and Jonathan Taylor didn't retire. They ended
up coming to terms, agreeing to a three year, forty
two million dollar contract, twenty six million dollar guaranteed. Expect
him in the backfield this Sunday, Pendanty Football owners, congratulations
(01:08:08):
if you held on tool for this long.
Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
Jonas back to you.
Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
Thank you, Martin Jonas knocks here on Fox Sports Radio.
We are going to have Knox locks coming up here.
Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
We've got to keep paying close attention to what is
happening between Texas and Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
So it is tied at twenty seven a piece.
Speaker 5 (01:08:22):
As Martin pointed out, Texas has got the football under
two minutes left to go.
Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
The clock is running.
Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
And if you're an Oklahoma fan, and I'm not trying
to pick on any Oklahoma fans who may be the
executive producer of this program, but Bo Benson, between this
and the Dodgers later on tonight, how the hell are
you feeling? And why are you not drinking? Should be
the better question at this point in time.
Speaker 8 (01:08:49):
Yeah, I mean, you know, since I go to USC
now this game doesn't boil my blood as much as
it used to. But this is not a comfortable feeling
at all right here?
Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
Now, Yeah, it's uh, listen, this is the fun stuff.
This is the Red River rivalry, as we pointed out,
and Texas is now there's been a time out on
the field, so it's a third and nine with a
minute and twenty seven left to go. So Oklahoma's got
another time out. To burn and it feels like Oklahoma
wants to stop this clock, get a stop here, force
a long field goal, and then take their chances with
(01:09:19):
on an ensuing drive. So fun stuff here between Texas
and Oklahoma. And then of course, as we talked about
just the Bonker's performance between LSU and Missouri forty two
thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
There as well too.
Speaker 5 (01:09:34):
So this is you get the sense it's one of
those weird, weird days in college football. And you saw
the way it turned it started for Texas and Oklahoma,
and now you're seeing the shootout in Columbia between LSU
and Missouri, and then you saw Ohio State get a
scare early on from Maryland.
Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
You thought, okay, that could be a problem.
Speaker 5 (01:09:57):
So this is this is why college football what it is,
because you'll get games like this, especially when you get
into conference play and some of these rivalry games to
where it's all over the place and everybody is flying
left and right to try and to try and get
a win here and have bragging rights in some of
these big time matchups. So Missouri now has the ball,
They've got their ball, They've got the ball on their
(01:10:19):
own five yard line with forty five seconds left to go, so.
Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Not an ideal spot for Missouri.
Speaker 5 (01:10:24):
They're just trying to get into field goal range and
an incomplete pass on first down there for Missouri down
forty two thirty nine, forty seconds left to go there
at home between them and LSU, which has been absolute bananas.
Texas was stopped short of the first down on third
and seven, So now Texas and Oklahoma are tied at
(01:10:45):
twenty seven apiece with a minute and twenty left to
go there, and it looks like they're going to bring
out their kicker to try and attempt a go ahead
field goal here on fourth and four. Both these teams undefeated,
and we were talking about this during the break. A
loss for Texas feels so much bigger than a loss
for Oklahoma because everybody just assumes that Texas is back. Well,
(01:11:10):
everybody assumes Texas is back every single year. Every single
year Texas is back. Texas is back. But it does
feel like the way Quinn Ewers has been playing his
development as a quarterback, the way Steve Sarkejian's got the
hype train rolling there in Austin, and the way everybody
is feeling about the Longhorns, and then being a top
three team what they did to Alabama in Tuscaloosa a
(01:11:32):
couple of weeks ago, which was eerily similar to what
Johnny Manziel in Texas A and M did in Tuscaloosa
years ago, to where you just no matter what Alabama
tried to do, they couldn't stop them. You saw the
same thing with Joe Burrow, and so this had the
same vibe and the same feeling when it was Quinn
Viewers and Texas there. And by the way, now Texas
(01:11:53):
is going to go for it on fourth and four
from the Oklahoma twenty nine yard line instead of attempting
the field goal, Texas is going forward on fourth and four?
Or are they trying to draw Oklahoma off side? But
we got to stop that craft. Okay, we're trying to
do some you know, knockoff performance of a play by
(01:12:14):
play here on this game. And Texas brings out their
offense on fourth and four, tries to draw Oklahoma off sides,
it doesn't happen, and then they call a time out here.
Why don't you have a little bit of empathy for
your fellow broadcasters here, have a little bit of empathy
for the people in sports media. So Texas will now
attempt to field. Well, and let me just say this
(01:12:35):
as well too. I don't know who started this whole,
let's try and draw somebody off sides for eventually just
you know, going to kick a field goal anyways, Well
except if you're the Bears and you're at home against Denver,
then you just send the offense back out there with
a bad play anyways, you know, like they did last week.
But nonetheless, like the whole idea of icing the kicker,
(01:12:55):
does this not ice the kicker to where like he
thinks he's gonnattempt a field goal and then you roll
the offense back out there. Never But now we actually
get a field goal attempt. It's forty seven yards, tied
it at twenty seven all, and the kick is up
and the kick is good right down the middle, and
Texas does have a thirty to twenty seven lead over
(01:13:18):
Oklahoma a minute seventeen left to go there and the
Sooners will get the ball back, so they're gonna have
plenty of time. They will have plenty of time to
try and march down the field. So that is the
very latest there from Austin when it comes to Texas
and Oklahoma and we should have a conclusion here coming
up shortly, unless it goes to overtime, which we'll just
throw everything for a loop. But right now, though, before
(01:13:40):
we get to break, we must point out that it
is time for the progressive play of the day.
Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
First in ten Texas at the Oklahouma twenty nine yard line,
six seventeen in counting the play in the ball game,
hand off, Brooks left.
Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Side cuts it through a seat to the twenty fifteen
ten Doe touchdown, Texas tunnel tied, Brooks do the cards to.
Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
The Craig Way from Learfield on the call. That's your
progressive play of the day. That was the one that
tied it at twenty seven. And now Texas, as we
pointed out, has just taken the lead thirty to twenty
seven there with the kickoff coming up here in just
a moment. But that is your progressive play today, brought

up next here it is the hottest thing going in
sports radio. If you don't believe me, We've got the
proof and it's yours right here on FSR Jonas Knox
Fox Sports Radio. Unbelievable finish between Oklahoma and Texas, and
(01:14:46):
it ain't over yet. So if you were listening a
few minutes ago, we talked about Texas kicking the go
ahead field goal. There was a minute and change left
to go. Oklahoma got the ball back, drove down the field,
there was a passw ference penalty, there was a big
catch by Stoops for Oklahoma, and then you saw Oklahoma
(01:15:09):
get the ball into the red zone. There was a
PI call, then there was a touchdown throw from Dylan Gabriel.
Oklahoma has taken the lead thirty four to thirty. So
now Texas has the ball back. They just threw a
completion on first down. Oklahoma looking like they're playing prevet defense.
There's six seconds left to go there and Texas has
(01:15:30):
got the ball, but down thirty four to thirty. In
what has been one of the great games that you
will ever see in college football between Oklahoma and Texas
and the Red River rivalry, which, by the way, we
have successfully said that name of the game Red River
Rivalry at least over a half dozen times, which I
(01:15:51):
think is more impressive than Oklahoma winning this game. So
it looks like this is going to be the final
play of the game. Texas down thirty four to thirty
six seconds left to go. It is a first down,
but that doesn't matter. They've got the ball at their
(01:16:11):
own forty four yard line. Quinn Ewers and shotgun and
quinn Ewers throw, and of course it's not the last
play of the game. There was a completion to the
sideline and now there's two seconds left and Texas will
have the football.
Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
But Texas is going to have a.
Speaker 5 (01:16:29):
Shot at this thing to where they're going to be
able to at least heave one towards the end zone.
So of course you would get a hail Mary there
in the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma to
try and conclude this game. Unbelievable, unbelievable football game. Dylan
Gabriel was fantastic quinn Ewers. Look, I mean, if Texas
loses this game, you're going to look back at those
(01:16:50):
early interceptions. One of them was in the red zone.
Not his fault tip pass, but an interception and a
turnover in the red zone. So if Texas loses this
game and Steve Stark and Quinn Yewrs have to answer questions,
they're probably gonna have to answer questions about the start.
Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Of this game because it was not smooth.
Speaker 5 (01:17:07):
Oklahoma battled, stayed in it, and so we've got two
seconds left for Oklahoma to continue to hold on to
this win or hold on to this lead there at.
Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
The Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 5 (01:17:21):
So let's go. Let's take a listen. Actually, this was
the go ahead touchdown. This courtesy of lear Field.
Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
Nick Anderson now comes far right in the trip set
twenty seven seconds, Anderson in motion twenty three seconds. Gabriel
has the football, looks to throw these under pressuring lobs.
Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
In so touchdown.
Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Then Deverson touchdop. Awesome Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (01:17:50):
That was baby drive.
Speaker 5 (01:17:53):
That was Toby Roland on the call there for lear Field.
So that was the go ahead touchdown for Oklahoma. Now
the final play is underway. Quinn yours with the football.
He's gonna heave it up towards the end zone. It's
gonna get there, but it is batted down and Oklahoma
has done it. Oklahoma has pulled off the upset. Not
a huge upset. It's a rivalry game, but they were underdogs.
(01:18:15):
Thirty four to thirty is the final, huge win for
Brett Venables, huge loss for Steve Sarksian, and now number
three Texas goes down for the first time this year.
Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
So a huge win for Oklahoma there, all right.
Speaker 5 (01:18:29):
So make sure you stick around by the way coming
up top of next hour, Monty Belano's Alex Curry, they
will take over. We don't have time or else I would,
you know, take a shot at Monsey like I normally do.
We don't have time for that because we've got to
get to what is the hottest thing in sports radio,
and it's called this.
Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
He locked it. Let's lotch it and no and no
knocks locks.
Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
All right, So I'm gonna brag a little bit here.
Three and oho again last week. Haven't lost in weeks, perfect,
two weeks in a row, seven and five on the season.
So now let's Ridegars and Bills. I'm gonna go with Jacksonville.
They're getting five and a half points. It's neutral site,
it's back to back weeks in London. You would assume
that they're going to be more acclimated to the elements
than Buffalo is who's coming off an emotional win. Five
(01:19:13):
and a half points I'm getting on a neutral site,
I'll take the Jags.
Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
Saints said Patriots.
Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
This line doesn't make any sense to me. Why is
New England favored? They looked awful last week? Unless somebody
knows something. Give me the Patriots minus a point Cowboys
at forty nine ers. I gotta take the Cowboys. I'm
pot committed. They're getting three and a half points. They're
my Super Bowl pick. Dallas will get it done and
I would not be surprised if they win that game.
Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
Outright.
Speaker 5 (01:19:37):
For Bo Benson, Chris Purfett, Martin Wise, and also Bree
who made a sound good. We appreciate you all listening
to us, Manzie and Alex are Next year A wild
day in sports radio.
