Speaker 1 (00:01):
I have to stop.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
From the beginning, Jonas Knocks, you thought you knew me,
You didn't know a thing about me.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
He's crazier than else.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks, you heard me.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Pray in some darkness is lighting up your speakers to
establish an alibi for the day. From the tirag dot
com Fox Sports Radio Studios, here's Jonas Knox.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Okay, I'll be part of this world.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
You know, at least there's something that's dependable, you know,
and there's something to be said about being dependable. I'll
explain why that applies to one team in the NFL
coming up here in just a couple of moments. From now,

(01:30):
should be. So I was thinking about this cause there's
something to being dependable, you know, like you want somebody
that you can count on, all right, Sometimes if you
deal with people that are erratic, or you deal with
situations that are all over the place, it gets a
little frustrating. Like if somebody's always late, the one appreciation

(01:53):
you have is like, well, at least you know they're
always going to be late. It's not like, hey, I'm
going to be there at three o'clock and then they
show up at three fifteen one time and then two
forty five the next. And there's something to be independable, right.
That's how I was thinking about that because I'm watching
Caleb Williams and I'm watching him in basically part two

(02:16):
of his first season with the Chicago Bears, and I'm
seeing him after last week and there was a lot
of promise, and we talked about it in Buffalo, like,
you know, forget about the stat lines, what did you
see the poise, the pocket awareness, the throwing ability, Like, yeah,
he didn't throw any touchdown, but what did you see?
And you watch it and you go, all right, he's

(02:36):
the goods, Like you get why people are excited about it.
And then you get to this week and it's his
home debut. They're playing at Soldier Field and so they're
playing the Bengals and you're like, oh, yeah, but it's
just a preseason game. Yeah, but preseason or not. You

(02:57):
want something that's going to be dependable. You want something
that you can count on. All right, enough with this,
We're not sure what we're going to get from one
day to the next. You want something that you can
count on. You want something that you know is always
going to be there when you turn to it. And
in order to point out what's always going to be

(03:18):
there when you turn to it, we need our live
studio band to crank it up here live on Fox
Sports Radio, is what we need. Because let me tell
you something. You know what you can count on from
the Chicago Bears. You can count on a poor playing surface.

(03:39):
You can count on a fan base fired up to
see something new, something fresh, and something exciting, and you
can count on that team delivering them three points through
the first quarter and a half of Caleb Williams's debut
at Soldier Field. It has been Chicago Bears football through

(04:03):
and through on center stage. Defense looks great, you got
a converted field goal, the punters hitting rockets even from
deep in his own territory. And meanwhile the offense, eh,
you know, probably the highlight of the day was an
incomplete pass rule to pass interference on Cincinnati. You know,

(04:26):
nice little three and out to start off the day.
A couple of times in a row fan base all excited.
You got people turning away tickets to go to the
Cubs game, which first pitches in like ten minutes from now,
going no no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Caleb
Williams's debut. We gotta be there. And what do they
get for their troubles? You got an awful playing surface

(04:49):
because a Metallica concert took place last week, Because last
I checked, it takes a week for them to figure
out the grass situation. If Metallica played their last week.
And on top of all of that, you've got the
greatest of all time in the building, the best ever
to ever do it, and nobody argues it. Simone Biles,

(05:10):
who was there to support her husband Jonathan Owens, who
is a brand new member of the Chicago Bears. And
what did she wear to the game. She wore his
Packers jacket.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
You can't make this up.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This is the go to. You could always count on
it every single time I think, I say, wow, yeah,
have it listen. You know it's she was supporting her husband. Okay,
I don't know. It's like ninety five with two hundred
percent humidity. Maybe a jersey. I mean a jersey would
have worked. I mean it's easy. You just go on

(05:50):
to the shop. You can get a custom made. You
can wear one of me. Is what did she decide
to do? Naw, We're just gonna wear his Packers jacket
from when he was playing there in Green Bay. You
cannot make this. And again I'm good with it. Supporting
her husband, that's fine, dude, you gotta do. But this
was the appropriate debut for the brand new, bright, shiny

(06:14):
object in Chicago. For the Bears, this was Bears football
to a T.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
To a t.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
How many times have you heard this over the last century,
If you're a Bears fan, or even if you're not
a Bears fan, how many times have you heard this?
Hey Man, quarterback here has got a lot of talent,
but can't seem to get in the end zone. Check yeah,
but listen, the defense looks great. Check defense is forcing

(06:44):
turnovers and getting too the quarterback. Check you know, the
kicker converted on his one try. Check Man, That punter's
got a cannon on him. Boy, he's really gotten him
out of some bad situations because their offense hasn't moved
the ball to on the field. Check yeah, but this
playing surface, my god, what are they gonna figure this

(07:05):
thing out? Here at Soldier Field? Check Man, The fan
base looks a little disappointed. They looked like they were
expecting something more. Check, check, and check. This was the
go to, most dependable result that we could have expected.
Caleb Williams, Page two, Part two, Volume two, whatever you

(07:26):
want to call it. At home at Soldier Field, and
the place is packed. It's packed, filled to the brim
of people expecting something different but getting the same damn thing.
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio, at The Jonas Knox on Twitter,
at the Jonas Knox on Twitter or X whatever your preference.

(07:48):
By the way, Caleb Williams is back on the field
yet again. What a shocker. It's almost like the coaching
staff is like, you know, we just haven't seen anything
we like yet. Well, what do you think? Listen, I
get it's a preseason game, all right, we're having a
little bit of fun here, right, to relax, right, But
let's have a little bit more fun, right, and let's
talk about somebody who apparently doesn't seem to be having
a lot of fun at this point in time. Let's

(08:11):
talk about John Lynch, the forty nine ers GM who
was on with Murph and Marcus in the Bay Area
talking about the Brandon Ayuk situation. Let's take a listen.
Why is it taking so long? What's the reason? I
wish I knew? I wish I knew.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
You know, as I said, we started early. It's consumed
a lot of our time, my time. I don't like
that it's taken this long what it has, and you know,
you deal with the challenges that you're faced with. I
can tell you one thing. You know, lots of times
when I'm talking to other gms around the league on
a variety of situations, you know, a lot of them
will call and hey, just pulling for you in that

(08:48):
situation I was in one last year or something like that,
and you know, one thing they always say is like, man,
we'd love to have your problems.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I mean, listen, you know he's a little fed
up with it. And I got to be honest with you, John,
I think so are we like with somebody, Just figure
out a resolution here, Please, just figure out a resolution.
I swear the Brandon Aiyuk trade or not trade is
the longest possible transaction in sports history. I cannot think

(09:16):
of anything that has lasted longer. And I have complimented
Jerry Jones, and I've complimented the Dallas Cowboys. I've complimented
everybody involved and said, listen, man, that Dak Prescott contract
negotiation the last time got us through a pandemic. I mean,
it was tremendous. I appreciated it. In fact, when the

(09:37):
news was announced that Dak got his contract, I said, hey, listen,
I just want to thank Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
They got us through some stuff. It was either that
or some methaddicts that trained tigers on Netflix. So like,
I was thrilled with what we had from Dak Prescott
in comany, this one is above and beyond, and it's

(09:57):
so obvious. What is happened, Like, it is so obvious
what is going Brandon Aiyuk doesn't want to go anywhere.
He doesn't want to leave. He wants to stay in
San Francisco. And if he didn't, why didn't he A
accept the trade to Cleveland or b accept the trade

(10:17):
to Pittsburgh. The operas are there, and so if you're
John Lynch in the forty nine ers, you got kind
of got him by the balls from the standpoint that
you know he doesn't want to go anywhere else. It
is so blatantly obvious. And so if that's the case,
I'm like, dude, I understand you wanted to go. Can
we just wrap this thing up? We all know where

(10:39):
this is going. You know. It's like I've talked about
this before. It's like counting your kid down when you
want him to do something. At a certain point in time,
he calls your punk card, you know what I mean, Like,
if you do the whole I'm telling you right now.
And we know this because his kids. We knew this
at a certain point with our parents, right Remember when

(11:00):
you were about to get in trouble and you were
doing something or you were like standing on the edge
of the couch and they didn't want you to jump
off and do an atomic leg drop off the top
turn buckle because there was nobody underneath and you were
going to miss your spot. And it's not WrestleMania nine
in Las Vegas. Do you remember what your parents would
do to your say, hey, get off that couch now
on the count of three, one, two, two and a half,

(11:29):
two and three quarters three, dude, that's all this is
right now. Brandon Ayuk is telling the Niners man, if
I don't get the contract I want on the count
of three, I'm out of here. And he's sitting there going.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
One, two, two and a half, two and three quarters
two and seven.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's like dude, and the Niners are looking at him, going,
we got you, Bud, like we get it. You want
to stay here, Let's figure this thing out. I'm with you,
John Lynch, I'm with you. You don't know why it's
taken so long. You know what the end result's going
to be. Brandon Ayuk is gonna stay a forty nine er.

eight or nine teams combined in the league. We'll explain
why that is coming up right here on FSR. We

Hey, what's up everybody?

Speaker 7 (13:08):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up

Speaker 2 (13:15):
What is up on Game?

Speaker 7 (13:16):
You ass along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yup. That's right, Plexico Birds.

talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be

to Up on Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Huschman

(13:38):
Zada and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcast from.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. Hey listen, man, it's live radio,
you know. And for those of you listening on the
podcast right now that are thinking to yourself, man, this
guy sounds like a horse's ass because he just went
on a diatribe about Bears football and the disappointing performance

(14:08):
of Caleb Williams and his home debut. I mean, at
the time when I said it all right, nothing had
really gone wrong, okay. And since then he's made a
couple of unbelievable plays which will be replayed over and
over and over at nauseum on social media. One was

(14:29):
a rollout to his left, throw across his body on
the move to Roma Dunza. I mean, could not throw
the ball anymore perfect. Another one was a scramble and
a toss to a Duneza who was in the back
of the end zone, but he was out of bounds,
but the throw of the playmaking unbelievable. And then after
that a scramble play on third and goal and he

(14:50):
ended up running it in for like an eight or
ten yard touchdown and it was unbelievable. But for the record,
at the time of the rant, things were not going
well right. So for anybody out there that wants to
run to social media and bust my balls for that
take or hit up you know, icy hot takes or

(15:11):
whatever that loser website is, screw you. In the moment,
in real time, that was a legitimate, well thought out
and well performed opinion and take, and that's all that matters.
Do not trust me, do not rely on me, Okay,

(15:32):
So I just want to be clear on that. And
I will not be held accountable, or maybe I will
be held accountable for lighting a fire under the Chicago
Bears and Caleb Williams and that offense at Soldier Field
in front of thousands of people dressed up as Bears

(15:53):
on an eighty five degree day in Chicago. Just want
to point that out. I'd like to point that out
here on the air. This is why the advantage to
listening live. I mean listen. We love the podcast listeners,
but this is one of the advantages to listening live.
By the way, if you are class you can't light
me on fire nose. And by the way, that's not

(16:15):
double meaning. I just want to be clear on that,
because in today's day and age, you gotta be careful.
I do want to just point this out that we
are going to get to this discussion about somebody in
the NFL who might be even greater than like eight
to nine to ten teams week one of the NFL season.
So we are going to get to that here in
just a couple of moments from now. But we do

(16:37):
have a brand new member of the show here, Patrick
Sweeka is with us here now. He is our brand
new executive producer on the show for the time being.
And listen, the way Fox Sports Radio works could be
like next hour, we get to do it. But the
point is, yeah, and that's somebody is Bo Benson, who

(16:57):
by the way, it's unfortunate, but we like to keep
everything out in the open here. Bo. Unfortunately, ped violation
not tolerated on this show. Maybe on other shows it
will be. So if you do hear Bo are working
any other shows I want you to know that the
people on those shows are okay with performance enhancing drugs.

(17:18):
We are not bo pissed hot. He had to go.
Patrick sweek is in. Patrick, welcome to the party. Thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
I wanted to go and Lemon say I tested clean, everybody.
I'm fresh right off the Triple A. I'm ready for
the big leagues.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yes, he's ready, he's ready, and he's fired up. Let's
go live to our I too, have not pissed hot yet,
insider Chris prophet for the latest quer I mean, you've
cut me around all this time, so I'm just checking
off my scoreboard here. Let's see Patrick now makes what
is it now with you and me? Jonas producer eighteen.
I've seen you know, Chris, you're ready to say this
as a drop Chris Purfett and I get around all right.

(17:56):
There's a lot of names, thank you. There's a lot
of names that are on the list. We have gotten
around at this place for many years. Rollas, Yes, it
is many. Some are still with us, some are not.
Some you know, yes, so that is that is that here,
that's the situation with this show, by the way, coming

(18:16):
up in I mean we'll call it, you know, about
ten minutes from now here from the ti raq dot
Com studios, we are going to get the very latest, right,
the very latest on what is a little bit problematic. Right,
it's becoming an issue and at some point somebody's gonna
have to make a change. We'll have that for you
here again about ten minutes from now So. Tom Brady

(18:40):
was at Fanatics Fest in New York and look he's
answering questions. He's talking to stephen A. Smith, and stephen A.
Smith sort of asked him about, like, hey, how critical
are you going to be as a broadcaster, And here
was the exchange say that on TV? Well, because their parents,

(19:03):
and you.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Know, there's there's parents, and there's family members. And I
don't want to always necessarily say it in that.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Way, but I think it's okay.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
If I was doing it myself, and let's see, I
throw really bad an interception, I would walk to the sideline.
I said, if you were the worst quarterback in the world,
how can you possibly make that thought?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I was terrible?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
But I just don't want to be so critical because
in some ways I don't necessarily know exactly where the
problem was on that play. Let's say Daniel Jones grow
an interception. Be critical of Daniel Jones. Maybe I was

(19:46):
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
It should be pointed out Daniel Jones throwing two interceptions
in the Giants preseason game against the Texans today. I
just want to point that out here, including a pick six.
But again, let's not get buried in the weeds here,
all right, Let's let's go ahead and get to some
specifics on the broadcasting front. To his point where he says,
I don't know what's going on or what really went

(20:09):
wrong in the play, That's true. One of the things
that I've enjoyed the most, and I'm a little bit
nerdy like this, but I love just sort of the
x's and o's and sort of the end. I don't
I don't like to talk about it a lot because
I feel like you can be kind of confusing when
you're looking at numbers and all this stuff. But I
love the strategy, what goes inside and what goes into

(20:29):
making a play work. Things like that. And one of
the things that I've been fortunate with is working with
what the hell's his name? Damn it, I just had it. God,
this is so unprofessional. What the hell's his name went
to notre damn God quarterback number ten does a morning

(20:49):
show here God drafted by the Browns. Oh, Brady Quinn.
So one of the things that I've gotten the abit
to have in talking with Brady Quinn all these years,
and him and I have been working together, which has
been way too long, is all that goes into making
a play work and be successful on offense. You would

(21:12):
be shocked at the intricacies of everything that has to
happen in order for one play to be successful. So
a lot of times when people go out and we'll
just and I talk about box score reading all the time,
when people just read a box score and go, well,
so and so had this many interceptions and so and
so did this and so and so like. Yet we
see that, and we see that it's a check mark

(21:34):
against the quarterback and a check mark against the guy
who committed the turnover. But there's a lot of things
that go into what happened during that play that caused
a turnover. And so in talking with Brady Quinn and
in talking to him all these years, he is broken
down plays to where on the surface, as a fan,
as somebody who's just watching the game, You see the

(21:55):
play happen, you see the result of the play, and
you just assume, oh, that's a bad throw. This, that's
another interception. He's bad, bad play, He's stunk it up there,
et cetera, et cetera. Come to find out later on No, No,
that was somebody else's fault. Somebody didn't come back to
the football, somebody missed an assignment, it was a bad route,
a bad read, et cetera, et cetera. Well, Tom Brady's right, like,

(22:16):
he can't just go on the air and bury somebody
and call them horrible and say those things, because yet
there is a family that's watching. You don't want to
do that. He knows he's the greatest of all time,
so his words carry more than a lot of guys
words do, And some people are going to take offense
to that. But also you don't know until you go
back and watch it what actually happened there. Like he's

(22:38):
watching a game in real time and has to make
a quick decision and a quick reaction on analyzing the play.
You don't have the ability until afterwards to go back
and look and see, Okay, it was supposed to be this,
This was supposed to happen and that's why it happened.
So to his point, all of that makes sense. But
the problem is people look at this and go, what

(22:59):
does I mean? He's going to be afraid to say
what he thinks, dude, Like if you've heard him before,
like and you talk to people because he's the best ever,
what he says, you can't really question, Like like if
he if he's what he's telling you is happening on
that play, what are you going to say? Well, what

(23:21):
does he know? Like I'll hear that sometimes, like a
guy will break down a play and then somebody will
shoot back and go, well, what do you know? You
did this, this this in your career, And it's like, Okay,
first of all, you don't know the hell you're talking about. Secondly,
what does that have to do with analyzing the play?
Like I've never done methanphetamines, but I'm pretty sure I

(23:41):
don't want to and I'm pretty sure they're bad for you.
So am I not allowed to have an opinion on it? Hey? Uh,
whatever you do. Don't you criticize that homeless guy around
the corner for slamming crystal meth in broad daylight? You've
never done it, But you're right, all right, let me
let me keep the opinions in my whole story. I
just want to keep quiet, dude, Like these guys know

(24:04):
better than anybody because they played the game. Tom Brady
has played this game so long and at the highest
of high levels, you're not gonna be able to question
what the guy says. And on top of that, I
was thinking about this as well too, when you look
at just week one. I just look at week one.

(24:25):
Tom Brady's gonna be on the call for Cowboys Browns
week one. All right. You could literally have Tom Brady
call a football game between seven to eleven and Dollar
Tree employees, and I believe that game would outrate at

(24:46):
least four to five games Week one in the NFL
if you put him head to head. I'm not even kidding,
no joke. If you go to Week one in the NFL,
let me ask you this, are you more interesting in
Tom Brady's debut as a broadcaster than you are Cardinals Bills?

(25:09):
Because I am no offense to the Bills, no offense
to Kyler Murray in the Arizona Cardinals. By the way,
Kyler Murray, I said it on Fox Sports Radio could
be a sleeper fantasy edition for those of you out there.
No offense, But I'm more interested in watching and watching
Tom brady debut as a broadcaster than I am Cardinals Bills.

(25:30):
What about Patriots Bengals. Let's be honest here, New England's
going to be the worst team in the league. I'd
rather hear their ex call a game than actually see
what the current situation is in New England. What about
Jaguars Dolphins? Dude, I mean, it's South Florida and it's September.

(25:52):
There's going to be five lightning delays. Anyways, what do
we like? Are you serious? Of course you could have
rather watch Tom Brady make his broadcasting debut. I don't
even care what the Browns and the Cowboys do. Don't
care Panthers Saints seriously, Like you would choose Carolina New
Orleans over Tom Brady's debut as a broadcaster. You could

(26:15):
go down the list Bronco Seahawks, Like there are games
that I look at and go Commanders, but listen. If
not for Jaden Daniels, I'm putting Commander's Bucks as a
game that I would rather watch and listen to Tom Brady's
debut that So when we're talking about like the gravity
of him taking over and being a broadcaster, I really

(26:39):
feel like people have undersold it. I really feel like
people are not totally comprehending what this means. So, yeah,
he may not bury a guy and call him horrible
during the broadcast, and he's got every reason not to,
but it doesn't mean he's going to be a kiss ass.
And I cannot wait to sit back, watch, listen, see

(27:01):
how it goes, because you know it'll be one of
the more talked about storylines the Monday after the opening
slate of Sunday games that we've got all year long.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
I mean, I'll take it, love it. But oh, Jonas,
by the way, it's just so much dude. Let me
tell you something. That Rob Parker drop that hits a
little bit differently following the Parker You know something about
that one hits a little differently after the Olympics. I

(28:38):
don't know what it is, can't figure that out. But
not all balls are.

Speaker 9 (28:41):
Equal, oh Jonas, I mean, depends on who you ask.
I gotta tell you, Jonas, you already hit in Hawaii.
They love you on the Big Island, just trying to
find out who that is.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
But you know, actually, I'm glad you brought that up.
Smart ash. Let me let me go ahead and pull
something for you. Ever, it says, all you do is
read the negative stuff. How about this guy? Hold on,
let me find him. Please don't delete it. All right,
So this guy writes in I don't even know his name.
Let me try and find his name. It's probably a
fake account, but a guy from Hawaii says, what up, jayboy?

(29:15):
No mind the bleeps and nerds bleeping on you every
week here the eight oh eight got your back, my ninja.
The rest of these panties can go bleep a bleep.
You the only real one mentioning the Rainbow Warriors every
week on national radio. We love you for that. We
never forget. How about that. That's called support from Fox

(29:36):
Sports nine ninety, the blow torch of the Hawaiian Islands.
Where you are listening to this show right now, you
remember who supports Timmy Chang and those Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
So screw you, friendly, you hater Jonas. And by the way,
and again, we love them those who live in Hawaii.

Speaker 9 (29:53):
But if you try to go to a Loha stadium, Jonas,
you probably will not be let in. I'm just gonna
throw that out there, Jonas's I know that you couldn't
quite get.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
In there right now. I'm not sure why. I don't
know why that is. I mean, that really breaks my heart.
I gotta be I love how man. I love Aloha Stadium.
I had a chance to go there twice. Listen. I
just want to be clear on something though, just so
people know I'm not playing favorites. Like it didn't land
some issues, all right, Like I was not sure going

(30:23):
up in the freight elevator whether or not that thing
was going to get to where we're supposed to go to,
all right, So listen, it was a rundown. There were
some rust issues, like the bathrooms felt like, uh, you know,
a grade school from the seventies, Like like there was
a lot of problems there, but just there was It
was magical when you walked into that place. And not
on top of all that, they served ConA Big Wave

(30:44):
way before anybody else started jumping on board, like way
before the ConA Big Wave, and I was one of
the only people talking about it family. You're a big drinker.

Speaker 9 (30:52):
You know all about this, the whole Jonas, those two times,
those two times that you were at Aloha, were you
still working Valet?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Then? No, it was. I was not, And in fact,
I've never worked Vallet to be true of all the job.
Have you been a bellman before? Uh? No, okay, ever
been a bellman? Don't care? I mean, here we go.
Just pour it on. If you could just please insuld
me some more. I'm sorry.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
I didn't grow up wealthy like you did. Neighbors with
dick Enburg, not quite. Neighbors with dick Enburg, not not
not quite. But I will say, Jonas, you were talking
about Caleb Williams, and I'm not here to insult you,
because you know I love you so dearly. But you
did mention Caleb Williams. And you know, you were telling
us how he was struggling. And since you mentioned that
he has done everything but struggle, he is welcome.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (31:39):
Yeah, seventy five yards passing, he's six of his last
ten through the air, and a seven yard scamper for
a touchdown. And we're watching three hotly contested NFL exhibition games,
this one in Chicago and Chicago is currently taking on
this Buffalo or Sandy Bengals team.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
It is ten to three.

Speaker 9 (31:59):
They just started the third quarter, and of course Chicago
is in front. Also the Ravens of a thirteen to
six edge late in the fourth quarter against the Falcons.
Your guy Taylor heinike one hundred and fourteen yards passing
eight of sixteen through the air. And we've got the
Giants taking on the Texans. Houston is in front fourteen
to ten, that one being.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
At the half.

Speaker 9 (32:20):
And your guy who's going to be the quarterback of
your fantasy team, Daniel Jones, out to shall we say,
a lukewarm start, Jonas and through the pick six and
then got picked off again, although he has made up
for it eleven eighteen through the air, one hundred and
thirty eight yards passing. He's got a seven point seven
yards through the air completion percentage, or at least how

(32:42):
many yards he's throwing on a completion per one in c. J.
Stroud seven to ten through the air, eighty eight yards.
There's that, and then lastly Jonas, we've got the Tigers
leading the Yankees four to nothing in the fifth. Also,
your Pirates are ahead three to two against the Mariners
in the fifth and the Cubs won the Blue Jays.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Nothing end of one.

Speaker 9 (33:04):
I know, Jonas, we're high up on Chicago Sports here.
You're a big Cubs fan and a big Bears fan,
and right now they're both looking great.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Or maybe that might not be the right word. Man.
By the way, stick around, speaking of that, Brian Finley,
our three of this program an extended update on the
Chicago Sky and everything w NBA related. So our three
makers around for that on this two hour extravaganza. All right,
thank you, Brian, Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. By

(33:33):
the way, we are gonna have another edition of Do
You Care coming up here. We'll call it less than
ten minutes from now from the tiraq dot com studios.
I just want to say this, man, maybe I'm an idiot,
which is very that's plausible, all right, dad dog hunts,
I will put it that way. I was watching the
opening kickoff of the Bengals and Bears, and I swear

(33:55):
to god, I didn't know who was receiving the football,
like like I thought, all right, so the Bears deferred
or Cincinnati wants the ball for it like whatever, Okay,
it's just And then I saw it Cincinnati, like boot it,
and I thought, oh, yeah, this whole thing just looks strange,

(34:18):
Like I'm I want to keep the kickoff as much
as anybody else, but it just doesn't look or feel right.
It just doesn't. And anybody can try and spin it
whatever way they and maybe it'll take some getting used to,
but there is something to your initial reaction to it.
Like I can remember the first time I wore a

(34:41):
white tank top to go work out in. They used
to be called something else, but you can't say that
anymore because you know, but I can remember the first
time I wore a white tank top to go work
out in, and my initial thought was, Dude, this is
kind of a douchey look. And then quickly I was like, yeah,
but you know, it'll be hot in there, and you know,
maybe I'll look more buff and you know, and then

(35:03):
like I ended up ultimately coming back around to no,
that's a douche look, and I didn't do it again.
My initial thoughts seeing the kickoff is like, this sucks.
It just sucks. It doesn't look right. I'm gonna give
it a chance. I'm gonna try and accept it as
the new NFL but something about it and said doesn't
seem right, And every time I see it, it's becoming

(35:23):
more and more difficult to get used to. Jonas Knox here,
Fox Sports Radio. Coming up next here though, we are
going to have another edition of Do You Care right

(36:06):
have for our friends listening in Honolulu right now. Jonas NOx,
he or Fox Sports Radio by the way, coming up
top of next hour. You know, it is kind of
a nice fallback plan for one team in the NFL
because even when they fail, they're going to succeed. It's great,
it's great. So we're going to get into that for

Speaker 3 (36:47):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.
Dmsre reports, Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big
stories from the last week. But Jonas question is do
you care?

Speaker 2 (37:03):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
patrick'sweek and to find out what the hell's going on
and what people have been talking about all week.

Speaker 8 (37:09):
Patrick, all right, Jonas, let's get it started. We got
a couple really really unique and interesting ones today, So Jonas,
let's go number one here. It was revealed earlier in
the week that Aaron Rodgers actually received an unusual gift
from Jets CEO Woody Johnson back when he was being
recruited by the Jets a few years ago. The gifting

(37:30):
question was actually honey from Queen elizabeths Gowden.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Do you care, Jonas, No, I don't care, like and
I heard Rogers say that it was like, uh, he was,
you know, it's a really cool gift because it's honey
from Queen Elizabeth Garden Like like I get like, you know,
like it's a special place and it's like, uh, you know,
a renowned person and and all that and there's history

(37:57):
and what but like, uh, like if somebody gave you
like a pile of dog crap from you know, Albert
Einstein's backyard, are you gonna be like look at this,
like I just it's honey, Like what like what? Like
why why are her bees so much better? And by
the way, I'm allergic to be so why are her
bees so much better than anybody else? Like like if

(38:19):
you know, like her bees have something special, like just
the stuff like this, I get it. It's a nice gesture.
But like how about like, you know, like why don't
you figure out a contract for a son retick and
make our team better? Like that would be a nice
gift for Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 8 (38:33):
Next all right, next up, So we all love movies
jonas and biopics.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Well, Jonas, I got a mix for you. Here.

Speaker 8 (38:39):
They're making a biopict of one John Madden, the very
same he has already been casted the man in question
is being played by Nick Cage.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Do you care? Not really? Look, I think you lost
me on the Nick Cage you right now, we don't care.
I'm with you, steven A. It's just he does roll
and like I can't, I will not be able to
get out of my mind that John Badden is the
same guy that was the star in Leaving Las Vegas,
just a full blown degenerate, flunky alcoholic who couldn't keep

(39:12):
it together. I'm supposed to believe that that's like one
of the greatest voices of my generation. Doesn't work for me. Listen,
I was I was thinking, you know, something along the
lines of John Candy. Obviously not possible, but what about
Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis would make some sense. Unfortunately that's
not happening either. Next all right, Next up. Apparently one
of Babe Root's world series Jerseys is being auctioned off

(39:34):
jonas the Jersey's actually that called his shot Jersey and
as a Friday, it is estimated to be starting off
at fifteen million. Do you care? No, I'm not paying
fifteen million dollars for Babe Bruce Jersey. Like I'm really not,
like you want to get me Babe Bruce's liver. Like,
I'll pay top dollar for that. I want to see
what that guy drank. That's what I want, all right,

(39:57):
whether or not he's he wore this jersey, he didn't
wear this jersey. I've seen so many scams online. I
don't know what to believe. But hand me that guy's liver.
I'll give you at least twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Next.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
All right, Jonas, it is player's weekend in the MLB,
and with that comes some fun Destroit Tigers Turk Scooble
actually wore some choice spikes on his cleats. They're actually
Scooby Doo themed And also the Tigers are selling Scooble
snacks burgers during the games.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Do you care? No, I don't. This is brutal, Like
that's what we're doing now, Like that's what I want
to try and get people into games. Like what are
the White Sox gonna do so bulletproof vests? Like what
is like what are we doing here? Like like I
get we want to like promote themes and we want
to promote you know, players personalities, and we want to

(40:47):
do it, but like Scooby Doo's gonna get people into
a game, like more people are gonna show up for
his Scooby do cleat and some snack burgers, Like if anything,
couldn't you go to white Castle? Isn't there a white
castle nearby? Come on, make sense of it all, please.
You know it's not a bad fallback plan, you know,
really isn't if you think about it. For one team

(41:08):
in the NFL. I'll explain why that is coming up
here in just a couple of moments from now, Jonas
Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this show
as always on the iHeartRadio app. You can find us
on hundreds of affiliates all across the country. Wherever you
are making us a part of your Saturday afternoon, we
appreciate it. We are going to take you all the
way up until the end of this hour four pm
Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific, and we do it all live.

(41:29):
Don tire rack dot com Studios, tire rack dot Com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched election, fast free shipping,
free road as a protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
So there's always something to having a little fallback plan.
You know, something to pick you up when you need it.

(41:51):
You know, if everything else fails or if you run
out of something. It's cool to have that, you know,
in case of emergency. It's kind of a nice feeling.
It's comforting to know. It's like having those backup beers.
You know, you'll throw a party or you'll be drinking
at home and you like, you know, worst case scenario,

(42:12):
there's a couple of like random beers in the back
of the fridge. So like if you get to that
point but you run out of booze and you're like, man,
I could really go for like one or two more,
You're all sweet, forgot all about that steel reserve I
had in the backshelf. Oh man, look at that. Look
at that. It's a Cores Banquet beer from like two

(42:35):
years ago. But you know what, in this moment in time,
I'll take it. You run out of the other stuff,
nothing else is working like it helps. It's right there.
And I bring that up because like, if you're the
Bears and say Caleb Williams and the offense just sucks

(43:00):
throughout the course of the season, like at any point,
like they had three and out, whatever the case may be, which,
by the way, for those of you wondering, let me
just go ahead and filly in is now the first
hour of this show went. I came on the air,
and at that point in time, through three or four
series in the game, Caleb Williams and the offense did
not look good at all, just you know, sort of miscommunications, penalties,

(43:26):
in completions. I mean they just you know, a bunch
of three and outs, Like it just didn't look good.
And I said, man, all this hoopla, all this attention,
all this love, the places packed there for his soldier
field debut, even though it's a preseason game, and they
rolled that out. The field conditions were suspect. The defense

(43:46):
was great, you got a field goal, you got like
but it's like your typical Chicago Bears, Like the only
problem was the offense. So it was like really dependable,
like you could have expected it, even though everybody was
up optimistic and upbeat and positive about it. But like
one of the things that I did point out was
and you also have great punting. And when you think

(44:08):
about it, this year is kind of a win win
because if what you know, Caleb Williams and the offense
gets on the field and they go three and out,
or you're running out of hope and you need a
little bit more, you know, like that backup beer sitting
in the bottom shelf of the fridge. It's been sitting
there for a long time. Enter in Tory Taylor out

(44:32):
of Iowa, who's got a halitzer on his hip, and
the guy just hits rockets. They drafted him in the
fourth round, and you had teams around the league pissed
because they were gonna take him. So even if the
offense fails, you're gonna get to see Tory Taylor, like

(44:56):
the Bears go three and out, deep inside their own territory. Man,
But hey, look at the bottom shelf. What do we
got there? What do we got sitting there in the
bottom shelf. Oh it's a sweet but ice twenty four
ounces ice cold, been sitting there since two thousand and six.

(45:20):
But you know what, that'll work right now, and Tory
Taylor just starts hitting rockets. It's a nice fallback plan.
It's a feel good moment for Bears fans knowing that
even if the offense slips or falters at all, at
least you're gonna get to see an absolute weapon take
the field in Tory Taylor, who's already paying dividends even

(45:40):
in the preseason. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. Also,
I would like to say this. We were talking about
how Bo Benson, the former executive producer of this show.
He's been with us for quite some time. If you
are just tuning in, we'll fill you in. Patrick Sweek
is now our executive producer. Bo was suspended in definitely
from this show. You never know what the sick mess

(46:02):
is going to do next. Let me just say this,
like nobody else wants to say this, he was fired
from this show. Fired. I did see that his ass
got canned. You're probably wondering, like, how do you fire
somebody who's worked so tiresly on this show after all
these years? Well, teazy, you piss hot, you get a

(46:23):
pe de violation, you're gone, Thank you, Vince. What's even
enough too lately? By the way, But the point is
Bo's been fired because from this show, not from the network,
from this show p de violation. The guy pissed hot,
you know, and listen, he can send his legal team

(46:44):
and they try and get involved all they want. It's
not going to make any difference. We call the shots here,
he's gone. Patrickson Bo pissed hot, he's gone. Now maybe
Bo could turn into arden Key of the Tennessee Titans,
who just so happened to be the team that's gonna
be playing Caleb Williams week one, when he makes his

(47:07):
NFL regular season debut at Soldier Field, because is the
news came out earlier today that arden Key, who too
was suspended for six games under the NFL's performance enhancing
drug policy. Apparently it's been overturned and he's available, so

(47:30):
he will be back on the field. And you're wondering, well, like,
you know, why is this important? Well, it's important because
it's something that we've talked about on this show before
in all seriousness, you know, putting away the jokes on
peds and all that. Like it's one of those conversations
that like people think they know what they're talking about
and they really have no idea what they're talking about.
Like you just sort of painted with a broad stroke

(47:52):
and you go, oh, well, this is what it is.
And somebody gets violates a PD. You know, they got
a PD violation, they're gone and blah blah blah blah blah. Dude,
there's been examples like when a guy comes out and says, hey,
I didn't knowingly take anything. I know, that sounds like
the go to excuse. It's player talk. Of course they're
gonna like there's like that really does happen, Like when

(48:15):
people talk about tainted substances, like that really happens to
where a third party company will mix a supplement that
you normally take, they'll do it in a vat that
has a substance that is not allowed, and that like
there'll be like little like p coograms they call them,

(48:36):
like little micro doses, tiny bits that'll get in there.
It'll get into your blood, get into your urine. Thus
you piss hot. Next thing, you know, you get pop
for six games and it's a PD violation. And you
get players and you get boxers and MMA fighters who
will say I didn't know only take anything, it was
a tainted substance, and then they'll come to find out

(48:57):
afterwards all they were telling the truth. Like we're so
conditioned when we hear that some guy tests positive for PEDS,
we just assume, oh my god, the guy is a cheater,
and listen, more often than not, they are. But there's
been examples of guys who said, look, I didn't knowingly
take anything. My supplement was tainted, and it'll take a

(49:18):
significant amount of time, but they'll do some digging and
do some research and go, oh, he's right, like it
really was attainted supplement. Now, I don't personally get bothered
when somebody tests positive or anything, like when he get,
you know, test positive for this, like any of these
other guys, I get it you're taking something. What the
advantage is, we don't know. But you've had examples where

(49:41):
professional athletes who make their money performing like MMA fighters,
have had to fight a positive ped test for like
two years, and during the course of that two years,
you can't fight until you're proven innocent, which means you
don't have a paycheck coming in for two years. Like

(50:05):
it like it could ruin your career. So like the
next time somebody comes out and says like, hey man,
listen like tainted substance supplement, like you know whatever, Like
I think you listen DeAndre Hopkins saying that there was
something in his shampoo. I mean you know, like I
mean there's you know, there's there's been some stuff, like
some excuses out there that you know, don't really make

(50:26):
a whole lot of sense. But the point is, next
time you see that arden Key is the latest example
of somebody who's like, no, he actually might be telling
the truth. Like he actually might be telling the truth.
And it was a mistake made. Not everybody's cheating. Jonas
Knox he or Fox Sports Radio. Uh Tony writes in
at the Jonas knocks on X, At the Jonas Knocks

(50:47):
On X, ja off Joni along with bitch Quinn enjoying
role playing in the sack with each other like the

abomination of a show, though I gotta admit I'm looking
forward to another sub five hundred season of Knox Locks.
There are flunkies all over FSR. Maybe bring in one
that actually knows football this year. Troy writes in get

along with seeing all his zesty outfits to buy online

(52:36):
from the woman's section, along with painting your fingernails and
buying handbags just like him and you you bleep bleep
at the Jonas Knocks on X. Coming up next here though,
from the Tirak dot com studios. We need something to
happen in the NFL. We need this. It's been a

(52:58):
while like we have to have this happen, otherwise we've
been wasting our time. I'll explain why that is right
here on FSR.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
A doubt the most popular sports talk radio hosts.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
On the Island of Guam is Jonas Knox. Jonas Knox
Fox Sports Radio. Coming up, we'll call it a little
over ten minutes from now from the tiraq dot com studios.
We are going to talk about an idea in the
world of football that I think has gone a bit
too far. I think we've just pushed it one step

(53:31):
too far when it comes to this. We will get
into that for you again a little over ten minutes
from now. By the way, a reminder, a special reminder,
because we're going to have a conversation here about somebody
in Minnesota in the NFL. But there's this tire Rex sweepstakes,
the Summer of Tyrex Sweepstakes we've been talking about. First
and foremost, congratulations to Kevin m from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

(53:54):
He's the second of three winners in our Summer of
Tirax Sweepstakes. We still have one more listener to reward
of the set of four more brand new tires. Thanks
to Fox Sports Radio and tire rack dot Com. One
more listener will receive a set of four new tires,
plus installation taxes and fees valued it up to fifteen
hundred dollars entered daily and get rules at Fox sports

(54:14):
radio dot Com. Every day you get a fresh new
entry to boost your chances of winning at Fox Sports
Radio dot Com. And it's all furnished by our friends
at ti iraq dot com. The way tire buying should
be So from Kevin m in Minnesota to Justin j
in Minnesota, and that would be Justin Jefferson who spoke

(54:35):
recently with Evan Washburn about how he feels about Sam
Darnold as his brand new starting quarterback, and it sounded.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
Like this, I definitely feel confident in going into week
one with with Sam as our quarterback, and I feel
like he's been making plays throughout the training camp, So
I don't have anywherey in my mind at all.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
I mean, why would he like, why would worry? And
also let me point this out, underrated Evan Washburn does
a great job, doesn't get a lot of the credit
as far as a sideline reporting and all that, does
a phenomenal job. But back to Justin Jefferson, why would
he worry? I mean seriously, like it's basically like a

(55:18):
free role in Minnesota this year, Like I honestly believe
that like I think Minnesota's they're not going to be
very good. Like I'll just say it, I don't think
Minnesota's going to be very good. I think they're going
to finish dead last in the North. But when JJ
McCarthy went down, there's a reason why people weren't all

(55:38):
that stressed about it. Like when he went down with
the torn meniscus, there's a reason why people weren't like,
oh my god, doom and gloom and some of the
other reactions that we've seen to other quarterbacks around the league.
And it's and it's not that well, you know, JJ McCarthy,
I mean, is not as good of a player. I mean,
I don't know, he showed promise. He looked damn good

(55:58):
last week. By the way, full credit, typical hockey player.
Guy tears a ligament and nobody knows about it until
the next day, just continued playing. But they make the decision,
and all anybody's talking about is, yeah, but you know
what we've seen enough at least we know we got
our quarterback of the future. Now let's just go have
some fun this year. It's a free roll. Like Sam

(56:20):
Darnold's gonna go out and look, this is probably his
last chance. But if Minnesota stinks and I don't think
they're gonna be very good, you're gonna end up with
already having your franchise quarterback, and you're gonna end up
with a top pick next year, and you've already got
maybe the best wide receiver in football, So like, you
can just continue to add to the roster. And I

(56:41):
made the point when they went the way that they
did when it came to Kirk Cousins and Daniel Hunter
and they moved on from those guys amongst others. They decided, Okay,
we need to rethink this thing. We need to go
in a different direction. And if we don't want to

(57:03):
call it a rebuild, it's a retooling, a reshuffling, if
you will, or a competitive rebuild if you want to
use that term, which I think Howie Roseman coined. But
Minnesota is like, all right, well, look like I mean, yeah,
we're losing like two key pieces of the team that
were like maybe the best player on offense or one
of the best players on offense, our starting quarterback and

(57:24):
you know, maybe our best defender. But you know, here's
our plan, here's our plan moving forward. And if you're
Justin Jefferson, You're looking at this thing going I already
got paid, Like I've reset the market completely, Like I'm
the guy at the top when it comes to wide
receivers getting paid. So I'm gonna go out here, I'm
gonna do my best. Sam Darnold's got a lot to prove.

(57:45):
I'm going to try and help him as best I can,
and then at least we know next year we've got
our franchise quarterback and we're probably gonna end up with
the top pick. So if you're Minnesota, if you're the Vikings,
like you're kind of looking at this thing like, hey,
we'll give it a shot. But if it doesn't go, well,
least we know what we're looking at when it comes
to twenty twenty five. So Justin Jefferson has got nothing

(58:05):
to worry about when it comes to some of these
other wide receivers that are looking for deals. Like we
talked about John Lynch discussing Brandon Ayuk and being like, well, yeah,
you know, we're not really sure why it's taken a
long time, or we're not really sure, you know, we
wish it was Toget, like so do we. But I'll
say this, whether it's Brandon Ayuk, Ceed Lamb or Jamar Chase,

(58:31):
could somebody please let this bleed into the season, please, Like,
let us know we haven't been wasting our time for
the past six weeks. Like, let us know we haven't
been spinning our wheels here. If the result was just
going to be you guys get the contract you're looking
for and everybody goes home happy, can like we know
that we didn't waste our time, Like if time's the

(58:54):
most valuable thing we've got. I feel like a lot
of us, myself included, has spent a lot of time
and a lot of hours on radio discussing Brandon Ayuk situation.
God knows, we've discussed CD lamp situation, and we discussed
Jamar Chase. If this turns into all three of these
guys are gonna get paid next week or right before
the season starts, Like what was all this for? You

(59:15):
know what I mean? Like, what was all of it for?
It's like driving two hours to go someplace and you
forget your wallet at home, Like what a waste? Like
you went all that way. Imagine like driving to the airport,
like you got an early flight. It's a six am flight.

(59:36):
You get on the road at three point thirty, say,
the airport's you know, forty five minutes away, Like, you
know what, I don't want to get there too early.
It's the morning time, but I've got TSA pre check,
so I feel like, listen, I know they tell you
to get there two hours early. I'll do like an
hour to an hour and a half early. I think

(59:56):
I'll be fine. Security line shouldn't be bad, and I've
got tsaprecheck. We'll be fine. You get there not even
checking a bag. It's gonna be as efficient as possible.
You walk up to TSA all right, boarding pass an
ID and you realize you left everything at home. Sucks
waste of time, waste of a drive. Now the panic starts.

(01:00:20):
You just feel like, well, what a way we've been
driving all this way having this conversation. Could one of
these guys just do us a solid if we've been
pushing the conversation for you and keeping your name, could
one of these guys just do us as solid and
hold out please, Like, come on, ce d Lamb, come on.

(01:00:42):
You saw what happened with Emmitt Smith held out two
games into the season. Jerry Jones panic gave him the
contract he wanted, Like, why not hold out? I want
a new deal. I deserve to be paid. Apparently, according
to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, they've sent
a new proposal to Cede Lamb. You know. Clarence Hilt

(01:01:04):
from the Fort Worth Star Telegram said the same thing,
they sent a new deal over. The problem is, annually
Justin Jefferson makes thirty five million a year. The proposal
that they've reportedly sent over to Ceedee Lamb still hasn't
met thirty three million a year. Feels like we're kind
of far apart. It's an extra couple million dollars, feels
I don't know, it feels like a difference, Like if

(01:01:25):
you're CD Lamb, why not be like, Okay, if you
guys don't want to see my value now, why don't
I really grind you on it? Why don't I really
rake you over the colls on this? Let me go
ahead and hold out into the season and then we
can have that discussion, because I don't know the last
time we've had somebody did, like Le'Veon Bell maybe like

(01:01:45):
that was the last one. So I'm looking at this
situation going, dude, I'm with you, John Lynch. I'm kind
of tired of the Brandon Ayuk discussion. I'm kind of
tired of the CD LAMB discussion. Jamar Chase, it's like
a hold in, Like he wants a new deal, but
he's still like showing up to practice, even though he
sat one out last week. Apparently he still showed up
to Chicago for their preseason game that's taking place right now,

(01:02:08):
Like he still went to that game. Like if one
of these could just bleed into the season, even if
it's like just the first game, like bleed into the
season and maybe like Wednesday after the first game, I
just think we would all feel better about ourselves. So
that next year when somebody else wants a new deal
and they threaten to hold out, and we're like yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, yeah,

(01:02:29):
you're not gonna get paid. You're not going to pay
him negotiations blah blah blah, just like Lamar Jackson last
year blah blah blah. At least we can say, oh,
remember last year, somebody actually meant it. Just do us assault,
That's all I'm asking for. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports
Radio at the Jonas Knox on X at the Jonas
Knox on X coming up next year, though, we're going
to tell you about an idea that somebody has in

(01:02:49):
the world of football that I feel like is going
a little bit too far, going a little too far.
That'll be yours here from the ti raq dot Com studios.
But for all the latest around the world of sports.
A man who holds out like every other Saturday, the
one and only Brian.

Speaker 9 (01:03:02):
And Jonas who goes too far with his early assessment
of Caleb Williams.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Whatever.

Speaker 9 (01:03:07):
Oh, I'm sorry that that I had tell me whatever, listen,
I mean, it happens.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
We're doing live radio. I'm not afraid. We'll still look.
And that's that's the difference between me and you. Friendly.
I'm gonna get up off the stool and answer the
bell every time, all right, even though I came out
and was critical of his early performance and then he
comes out and has some dazzling plays at the end
of the half, I'm still going to get up and respond.
I'm not like you, who you know, gives a bad
take and then disappears for two Saturdays in a row.

Speaker 9 (01:03:34):
Well, and you said bell, I didn't know you were
a bellman. I had no idea that you worked out
at a hotel. I know you've worked a ton of
different jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Yeah, it's a boxing terminology, right, Oh okay, very bi Yeah,
once you put that in your tennis ball racket and
smoke it friendly. But are you more of a are you?
Are you more of a I wish friendly? Did you
meagine if Brian Finlely smoke crack you mention those updates?
My god be he'd be reading Wimbledon's score with the

(01:04:03):
nineteen twenties. You imagine that Brian Finley on crack it
was your favorite update acre of all time? Well, number
three I got Manci Blanyos, number two I got Dan
Byer and number one, without a shadow of a doubt,
is Brian Finley on crack? Hey? Well, a lot of
the Steve Disager honiable mention.

Speaker 9 (01:04:20):
Okay, Well, you know it's funny that you say that,
because Jonas, I know you're talking. You were talking a
lot about meth and a lot of people think that
some of these updates that I do, that I could.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Go for somebody that might be all jokes. By the way,
are you more of a tennis guy or more of
a golf guy? You know I'm about to release a
twenty minute look behind the scenes of a of a
golf outing I went on.

Speaker 9 (01:04:44):
It's by the way, it's about to drop. But I
am a little bit more tennis right now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Twenty minutes. Yeah, this like it feels like twenty one
too long.

Speaker 9 (01:04:51):
To be honest with you, Well, you're gonna be able
to watch this, Jonas, and it's gonna it's it's how
does when you go on a honeymoon?

Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
And I know, Jonas, you've been on a few because
you've been married a few times that it's not da
Actually I didn't even get to go on my honeymoon,
the true story. Yeah, we had everything, books, we were
gonna go to Maui, and then all of a sudden,
Fauci stepped in with this damn pandemic and just shut
everything down. Yeah, so gone, man up and vanish like
a fart in the wind. Gone, honeymoon, all of it gone.
But let me tell you something, I don't think she

(01:05:22):
can hear me. And if she can, I don't think
her translators in the house saved a bunch of money.
Oh my god. It was awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:05:29):
For some reason I thought that you were going to
go to a thousand oaks for your for your honeymoon.
I know I wish good good places over there, but no,
it's about how a couple when they're on a honeymoon,
how they keep score and how much lying goes into
when you put in the score on the scorecard. And look,
there's no lying on this show, Jonas, I know that
for sure. Never come on, no, and you certainly haven't

(01:05:50):
lie when it comes to your take on Caleb Williams.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
You've nailed that since the start of the show.

Speaker 9 (01:05:54):
Caleb Williams no longer playing right now for the Chicago
Bears in this preseason game, but he went six to
thirteen through the air, seventy five yards, ran in a touchdown,
and the Bears are devouring the Bengals twenty seven to three.
Keep in mind, as soon as Jonas mentioned how much
the Bears offense struggled this second he mentioned it, the

(01:06:18):
offense just awakened and they shoved it right back in
his face.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
So what all right? It just matter? Yeah, But you
know what's great about giving takes on the preseason. You
can always just go, yeah, it's a preseason, it doesn't
matter anyways. I don't care.

Speaker 9 (01:06:35):
What's your hit and winning percentage on Knox locks. By
the way, Oh, last year was brutal, worst year ever.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
But you know what, I'm gonna bounce again. Get up
off the stool, answer the bell. I'm gonna bounce back
big this year. I'm gonna go at least three games
over five hundred this year. I'm gonna call my shot.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
I bumped those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Thank you. Yeah. By the way, Ravens thirteen to twelve.

Speaker 9 (01:06:53):
They won against the Falcons, and Falcons team reporter Tory
McElhinney was asked why they did not play the team
Michael Pennock Junior in this game, and Rahiem Morris saying
that the Pennick showed enough from the first preseason game
that he did not have to play today, So there
is that development there. And then you were talking about
your guy Daniel Jones, two picks a picosaurus.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
I guess is what.

Speaker 9 (01:07:18):
Utare termed DEFSS fourteen to ten is giants. Your giants
are trailing the Texans and they are early in the
fourth quarter. Jones, one of those was a pick six
and the other one was I guess down the sideline
and he was picked up by Derek Stingley Junior. And
by the way, CJ. Stroud seven to ten through the year,
eighty eight yards and one score dimension here from Major

(01:07:41):
League Baseball. That would be your Cubs. We just mentioned
your Cubs there in a rain delay one and nothing
in front of the Blue Jays in the second And
Jonas As I get it right back over to you.
You mentioned this arden Kee successful with his appeal and
no longer will have to serve a six game suspension
after the alleged ped violation. And Jonas, I know that

(01:08:01):
as I work it back to you, peds is something
that's very very touching and special to you. You're you're
very aware of these things. And I mean I look
at the shots of you when you were wearing whatever
you were wearing going into the gym, and I think
to myself, there's no way that's natural. And I claim
i'd come to find out I was actually right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Oh so bad man. I still know, Oh my god,
Like I actually thought that was a good idea to
wear that.

Speaker 9 (01:08:26):
That's just like you still wear that though no I
don't I remember wearing them while you're doing the show
right now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
I can see you, like I actually, my wife's been
getting on me because I have these like you know,
the the company H and M. You know, like the
clothing company H and M. All right, so ba like
and this is full disclosure, one hundred percent being honest.
In like twoenty ten, I was so I was completely broke,

(01:08:55):
and they had this deal where it was and their
shirts were really comfortable at the time. So they had
this deal for like three black v Nex shirts for
ten dollars. Oh yeah. So I went to the Tapanga
Mall in Woodland Hills, California, which I believe is where
the rams are going to be located soon, like right
near there. And so I went there and actually, by

(01:09:15):
the way, did Tory Taylor just punt that ball inside
the Yeah? Yeah he did. The hardline look at that man.
I by the way, you know, Iowa Sam is somewhere
right now pitching a tent. Like. But so the point is,
so I remember I go to the I co to
the So I go to the mall and I go

(01:09:36):
to H and M and I get three black v
Nex shirts for ten dollars. I still wear them, like
those are my workout shirts. And they literally are falling apart.
There's a hole that goes from like the top of
the shoulder all the way underneath to like my back,
and I won't get rid of him. My wife's like,
why don't you just get r I was like, no, no, no,

(01:09:56):
like these are sentimental value of having her soul. There's
no reason to have them, no reason whatsoever. But that's
what I wear now. So I have grown up past
the white tank tops, which we can't refer to on
the air, is what they used to be called two
black v neckx that have holes that go down the
entire left side of my Torso is.

Speaker 9 (01:10:15):
That the same place, Jonas, where you had the lower
back tattoo of the butterfly that you still have on
you and you can't That's one of those things that
you can't get rid of either.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
That's actually a pterodactyl. But thank you, I appreciate it.
There he is Brian Finley another parting shot and insult there.
So if you want to get at Brian Finley, you
can do so on social media if you have a
problem with anything he just said, including that comment about Iowa. Sam.
Just disgusting to speak like that. Jonas Knox here Fox
Sports Radio. By the way, coming up in about ten

(01:10:49):
minutes from now, we are going to have ourselves another
edition of the Scraps things in the world of sports
we have not had a chance to get to. That'll
be yours here about ten minutes from now. Let me
just say this. I want to quickly touch on this
because this didn't get a lot of run during the week,
but there was Ross Dellinger, who does a really good
job covering college football for Yahoo Sports, you know, talked
about how they've been kind of kicking it around. You

(01:11:12):
know that maybe outside of you know, not just the
college Football Playoff, but there might be a secondary championship
for a group of five teams that are not competing
in the College Football Playoff. Think of it as like
an nit for college football. And like, look, I understand

(01:11:32):
that it's football, and we'll watch anything, and more games
means more eyeballs. I get all that. Could we just
slow it down a little bit, like, could we pump
the brakes just a little bit on the expansion of
the college Football Playoff again? When we haven't even seen
what this new twelve team looks like yet? Can we
just stop? And I know this is not so much

(01:11:54):
an expansion as it is an extension or an alternative.
Let's just relax, like everybody's slow it down here. I
know that we got all goofy and we got all
wide eyed because we're like, oh my god, we're going
to get a twelve team called Look, I'm excited about
it too, and I wasn't initially. But we haven't even
gotten to that. We haven't even gotten to the regular

(01:12:14):
season yet, and people have already started discussing, well, what
would a sixteen team playoff look like? What about twenty?
What about a group of five? It's relax, Let's just
get through this year. Let's see how this whole thing
plays out, and then let's go from there. And by
the way, friendly reminder, college football's back next weekend, baby,

(01:12:36):
all right, So let's focus on the immediate stuff and
not so much about the fantasy playoff scenarios and formats
and extensions that we don't need to get to because
we haven't even seen the original yet. Jonas Knox here,
Fox Sports Radio. Coming up next year, though, we're going
to close up shop with another edition of the Scraps
right here on FSR. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio coming

we get off the air, and I will tweet out
a link to that, or I'll exit out, which sounds awkward,
but I will send that out at the Jonas Knox
At the Jonas Knox right now. Though it's time for this, Jonas.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Moron, how could you not get to these stories? Moron?

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
These are the scraps. And but that we turn it
over to patrick'swee, you gotta find out what the hell we've
missed so far.

Speaker 8 (01:14:10):
Pat all right, Jonas, well, just a couple of things
we got here that we've missed so far. Let's started
off a little a little sweet and just easy here.
Bengals kicker Evan McPherson, or as I like to affectionately
call him, kick Pearson, has actually reached a three years,
sixteen and a half million dollar extension with the Bengals
just a few days ago. It's actually making him the

(01:14:30):
fifth highest paid kicker. Just remember the NFL loves kickers too, everybody,
So we got that going for us there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Yeah, at least he got paid. But he's been very good. Yeah,
you know, I think people still go back to him,
you know, wanting to stay out for the halftime show, oh,
during the Super Bowl as opposed to going in with
his team rates. That's a little bit of a regrettable decision.
But nonetheless, he's been very good for Cincinnati. He's hit
a lot of big kicks for them, and so the

(01:14:57):
guy gets paid. Good for him? What else we got?
What else we got?

Speaker 8 (01:15:00):
All right, we're gonna go to We all know what
Wrigley Field is, right, Jonas's yeah, where the cubi's playing
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
Well, damn right, I was just there. Let's go.

Speaker 8 (01:15:08):
It's it's it's historic, it's great, and we do know
that it hosts a lot of different not just baseball
type sports games there. Well, we got something new happening
actually in twenty twenty five, on January third and fourth,
they're gonna be hosting four outdoor Big Ten college hockey games.
And that's actually just a few days after they're hosting

(01:15:30):
the Winter Classics. So how about that for Wrigley Field.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
By the way, let me just say this, I mean
it has changed, but as far as venue to go
see a sporting event, like, there is nothing better like
And especially if you're coming in from downtown so and
you get off the train and you're right there at
Clark and Addison and you walk up like and I'll
tell people this, like out here in southern California, like
you know, there's a lot of people who they'll go

(01:15:55):
to Dodger Stadum. Dodger Stadium is beautiful, The one thing
about Dodger Stadium is the traffic to get in and
out of there, and you've got to drive a little
ways to try and get to someplace if you want
to go somewhere afterwards and get a drink or get
some food. Where at Wrigley Field, you literally walk across
the street like it's in a tiny neighborhood and there's
restaurants and bars. They've redone the outside on Gallagher Way

(01:16:19):
to where you can take kids out there, and yeah,
I was out there with my son. We were playing
baseball like it just like the whole thing and the
way it's done is awesome. The fact that they're bringing
more events there, I think is great. They've added concerts
to it because they've updated the venue and all that,
and so now you're going to get hockey there. Plus
they're going to have a couple of college football games
Ohio State Northwestern is going to happen at Wrigley Field

(01:16:41):
coming up in November. That's going to be fantastic. So
it is a great place to go see a Cubs
game or just to go see an event in general.
But man, you get out there for a Cubs game
the Friday day games at one twenty local time are
like a party in the bleachers. It is so much fun,
such a good time. And now we're gonna get to
see some hockey there and more hockey there as well too,

(01:17:03):
so that'll be fun as well. What else we got?
All right?

Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
So Jonas, I know you're a big UFC guy. So
UFC three oh five, No, not mister three oh five,
but UFC three oh five it is in Australia. Today
we have one of the more highlighted hype fights. We
got Drikus Duplessis versus the Style Bender Israel Outasanya for
the middleweight.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Title going on today. Why can't we go with that?
Oh my god, I can't wait for that fight now.
I would I lean is Atisanya when it comes to this,
because you know, he's got the more proven track record
he's fon. But man duplesus C is a tough dude
and he's tough to figure out. And the bad blood
between those guys to where you know is he got

(01:17:46):
emotional at a press conference and was crying like it
looked like he was gonna lose it. Like they're at
the press conference like it's gonna be a fun fight.
I also like how the UFC is like, yeah, we
know this is overseas, but we're catering to the American crowd,
to the American audience, so this is still going to
be put on ten pm Eastern time, seven o'clock Pacific

(01:18:06):
and it's like Sunday morning out in Australia. And they
did a fight a couple weeks ago, and you had
fighters in the UK complain about it because they kept
the fight time as the same time in the United
States to where out here, if we watch a UFC
pay per view it's ten o'clock Eastern time, seven o'clock
Pacific time. Well, they kept that same fight time, and

(01:18:28):
so the guys over in London were fighting at like
four am, so like their body clocks were completely thrown off,
and some of them said like, yeah, I came out
kind of flat because I was waiting around, waiting around,
trying to get used to it, and all of a
sudden they throw a fight on at for at four
am local time. Because we're trying to cater to the
American crowd. It's great for us, Like what do we care.

(01:18:49):
We get it in the exact same spot we normally
get the pay per views but for the fighters it
could be kind of rough. All right, I got one
more for us. It is a funny one.

Speaker 8 (01:18:57):
So a man recently really dyeing his own hair blue,
and it actually gave the man a chemical reaction. It
made his head swell up so massively Jonas that he
ended up looking incredibly similar to a Pixar to the
Pixar animated movie main character a Megamine who's played by

(01:19:18):
Will Ferrell.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Oh no, there's actual picture proof of this too much, man, Okay,
but like, look, people respect your hair, Okay, Like we
never know. We all end up losing it at some
point or another, or at least losing a good portion
of it, all right, Like, just respect the stuff you
got while you got it. You don't need to throw

(01:19:42):
