Episode Transcript

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

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

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

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Wracked.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
That guy, Jonas Knocks you heard me bring in some
darkness is lighting up your speakers to establish an alibi
for the day. From the ti rack dot Com Fox
Sports Radio Studios, here's Jonas Knox y. Okay, I'll reporting

(00:31):
this world.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know, somebody is really not cooperating in the in
the NFL. They're just not They're making things even more
difficult than they need to be and it's not even
really their fault. I'll explain who that is coming up
here in just a couple of moments. From now, Jonas
Knocks Box Sports Radio. You can listen to this show
as always on the iHeartRadio app. You can find us

(01:06):
on hundreds of affiliates all across the country and wherever
you are making us a part of your Saturday morning

(01:28):
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers tiraq
dot com the way tire buying should be. So, the
Pittsburgh Steelers are doing something very interesting. They've decided that
Russell Wilson is going to be the starter. Now Mike
Tomlin has said, look, you know, we'll keep those those

(01:50):
decisions in house. We're not ready to make a decision
on that publicly, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Except
the only problem is apparently he didn't pass that note
along to offensive tackled Dan Moore earlier in the week.
Apparently he didn't get the note. Apparently he didn't get
the note either. George Pickens, who was also somebody who

(02:10):
spoke about the fact that Russell Wilson's going to be
the starter and kind of let everybody know on that,
you know, earlier this week or yesterday talking with it.
So like the whole thing is like, all right, we
get it. Like you want to play the game. You
want to make everybody believe that we don't know what's
going on, when the reality is we do know what's
going on. Russell Wilson's going to get the start, but

(02:33):
Justin Fields will play that according to the NFL Network,
who says Russell Wilson is going to be the guy,
but Justin Field is going to play now. Arthur Smith
the offensive coordinator for the Steelers. This has happened before
where Ryan Tannehill took over the job when he was
OC and Tennessee. But Marcus Mariota got an opportunity to

(02:56):
take some snaps as well too, So it's not foreign
to Arthur Smith. But we just don't see it a lot.
And you could bring up that old adage, that old
quote which is if you have two quarterbacks, you don't
have one. I believe it was John Madden who said that.
But here's what's interesting about this one. The fact that

(03:17):
they're doing this.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
And like.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
They're pretty good, you know what I mean. Like it's
almost like like Justin Fields has made this way more
difficult than it needed to be had he just cooperated
and just picked a lane. Either be really great and
make it easy on Mike Tomlin, or just stink up

(03:44):
the joint and make it easy on Mike Tomlin. None
of this is a debate. This isn't even a conversation,
but you know where Justin Field's made a mistake. He
was just good enough and not quite bad enough. Like
it just kind of it's this weird kind of in between.

(04:07):
It's like, you know, sometimes you're in a relationship and
they're just not quite marriage material, but they're also good
enough to where you don't want to like break up
with them because there's like these bright spots. But like
then you'll get to like certain point and then you
just end up dating for like twenty five years. So yeah,

(04:31):
you guy, guys, ever gonna tie the knot? I don't know, huh, Well, like,
are you guys gonna break up? Probably not, Okay. You
just find yourself in this kind of in between, this
middle ground, and it's just weird for everybody. I remember
I found myself. Listen. I'm not trying to take a
shot at the position or the job. I just want

(04:53):
to share a personal story. I was a bus boy
slash bar back at TGI Fridays years and years and
years ago, and I started there because I was like,
all right, I just need some extra cash, you know,
I want to be able to, you know, have some
money because you know, I just you know, I got
this car that's probably going to break down, and you know,

(05:15):
I gotta have, you know, some extra money, and I'll
work odd jobs or whatever, but I'll just I'll go
ahead and I'll take the gig, and you know, just
just temporarily, it's just a temp job, you know, just temporarily,
I'll be a bus boy. And then the opportunity came like, hey,
you know, you can work buying the bar, same thing,
but you just work buying the bar, and the money's
better than being a bus boy in the restaurant site
during day shift. So I thought, you know what, that's fine.

(05:37):
And then next thing, you know, I was there five
years and I look and I go, wait, what how
that happen? This was supposed to be a temporary summertime job.
Next thing you know, I'm there five years. You want
to know why because it wasn't good enough to keep
me there long term. But it also didn't suck enough

(05:57):
for me to be like I got to get out
of here asap. Really just stuck in the middle. And
that's where Justin Fields was with the Steelers. Like there
were real bright spots man the game against Indianapolis. They're
not in that game with an opportunity to win it
without Justin Fields. He was phenomenal, Like he was like,

(06:19):
that was Justin Fields. Hey, nobody else is doing nothing,
let me take it. And that was the game where
I thought, oh man, Russ isn't getting this job back.
And you know what happened, the same thing that happens
in every relationship that lasts a really long time and
never turns into marriage and never turns into a breakup.
The very next week, big time primetime stage against a

(06:44):
depleted Dallas Cowboy defense. You know what he did? Yeh,
not that much. It's like opportunities right there. If Justin
Fields lights up the Cowboys a depleted Cowboys defense on
Sunday night football for the war old to see, none
of this is a discussion. He's your starter. But he
just found himself in the middle, just like if he

(07:08):
could have I'll bet if you pulled Mike Tomlin aside
that Okay, let's be serious here, don't you wish he
would have just sucked completely. He'd be like, yeah, be
a lot easier because then we'd have our answer. But
he didn't. He was just good enough to make this
a difficult decision, but not good enough to say, nah, Russ,

(07:33):
sorry man, Like listen, He's so. The Steelers find themselves
in this middle ground, and the reason why it feels
awkward and not quite a hot take here or one
way or the other is because Justin Field's made it
that way. He found himself in the most weird position
possible in the NFL where he's in the middle and

(07:56):
the Steelers are trying to figure out which way to go.
So apparently Russell get the start, but you know what,
Justin Field is going to get an opportunity to play.
That's the way the season has gone for the Steelers
as far a quarterback, and that's the way it's going
to continue. On Sunday, Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio,
at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks
on Twitter or ex whatever you want to call it.

(08:17):
I don't care who cares. So I was thinking about
this cause there is something about nostalgia, like we love nostalgia,
like it like nostalgia's great. You can look back at
stuff and you'll be like, oh god, this is so cool.
Like you watch stranger Things, you see the throwbacks to
all the eighties or nineties stuff, and oh my god,

(08:39):
this is so cool. Like you'll see a toy or
you'll see a commercial or something like, my kids really
into tornadoes lately. Imagine that. You know, I'm a weather
nerd and he's turned into a weather nerd as well too,
But he loves tornadoes, storms, weather like he loves it, say,
three years old. And so I'm like showing them all

(09:01):
these videos on YouTube, and I'm showing like different you know,
weather videos, storms, lightning, thunder, all this stuff. And a
commercial came up for an old board game that nobody
probably remembers except for me. But this old board game
called Tornado Rex. Somehow in the algorithm, they're like, you

(09:21):
know what you're looking at, storm Chasers. Here, we'll throw
in a nineteen nineties board game and let your son
take a gander at that. And it brought back all
these memories from when I was a kid, like, oh sweet,
I remember this game. And then as I'm watching the commercial,
I goies, wow, that game sucked, But you know what
it was nostalgia. Something about it brings up memories. But

(09:43):
there is a nostalgia to college football, and then there's
a reality to college football, and the reality is we're
in a much better place than we were at before.
And let me tell you why. I'm looking at the
slate of college football games this weekend and I'm just
kind of peeking around. I go, man, the big game

(10:05):
is Georgia and Texas seven thirty Eastern time in Austin.
It's a huge game. Man, that's awesome that Georgia and
Texas are playing. And then it came dawned on me, Oh, yeah,
this is like a normal occurrence because Texas is in
the SEC suite. And then you look around at all
the other matchups that we're going to get moving forward
because of conference realignment, and you realize, oh, this is

(10:28):
just the new normal. Like, I know, everybody likes what
it was before, when you had the Big East in
the ACC and it was what you knew it was,
and the Big ten or the Pac ten, not even
the Pac twelve, the Pac ten or the Pack eight,
the Big twelve. Like I know, everybody likes the way
it was and it's nostalgia, but there's just a reality

(10:52):
to what college football is and it's just in a
better place. Yes, Nil's made things awkward. Yes, there's a
lot more money and ego and drama and stuff like
that that's involved in business, and like I get all that,
I totally understand. You know, if you want to put
a hint of douchiness to some of the college football

(11:12):
stuff out, that's fine, fair enough. But the fact that
this is a matchup Georgia and Texas that not only
is happening this year, but it's something that's going to
be the norm in college football moving forward, I think
is better for the sport. And on top of that,
we're going to get a twelve team playoff. I don't

(11:32):
think people have really comprehended how cool that's going to
be when that takes place later on in the season.
So for anybody like me who wants to marvel at
nostalgia and rethink how your childhood was and how things
used to be and how they were so much better,
just think about the fact that college football now has

(11:52):
matchups on a weekly basis that are just normal, not
a rarity. Not a home and home to make a
bunch of money the beginning of the season. But this
is a normal occurrence nowadays in college football, and I
think we're better off for it. Jonas Knox here Fox
Sports Radio, we are going to have the usuals here
from the Tiraq dot com studios, We've got our thank

(12:13):
God for Gambling Game of the Week. We're going to
hand out that award a pretty obvious choice this week,
to be honest with you, so we're gonna have that
coming up later on this hour. We're also going to
have another edition of Do You Care at the end
of our one, and we will close up shop with
Knox Locks because I took the bait again. I took
it again. My fault could have been back to five hundred,

(12:34):
but I totally took the bait yet again. We'll have
all of that for you here as we take you
all the way up until four pm Eastern time one
o'clock Pacific. Coming up next here though, from these Tirak
dot com studios, we do now know when a starting
quarterback in the NFL some would call a superstar, some

(12:56):
would call a highly paid superstar. We do now know
when they will make their triumphant return, and we've got
the details for you here on FSR. Jonas is counted Today.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. By the way, you know, listen,
I'm not saying this to be an ahole. I really
am not. Chris Plank is one of my favorite people
here at Fox Sports Radio. Like he's such a good dude.
I actually listened to Chris and Arnie every single Sunday
night when I'm leaving the Challenge, the TV show that
myself and Rob Parker do locally here on KNBC every

(13:44):
Sunday night. So I listened to those guys on the
way home, and they're awesome, and they've always been awesome.
And so Chris is mister Oklahoma Sooner. He works for
the Sooners, has you know, covered the team for years
and years and years and years. Is this where psich
no Chris, This is where we say no Mas, because

(14:06):
they are getting absolutely sand blasted by the South Carolina
game Cocks right now at home. Good Christ thirty two
to three at halftime. Now, South Carolina was a slight
favorite going into this game, but you know, I mean,

(14:26):
I didn't think they were a twenty nine point favorite
at half. I'll just say that. So I'm sure if
this continues on that'll be appointment listening, Arnie Spanier, we'll
have something for Chris playing coming up on Sunday night
into the early hours of Monday here on Fox Sports Radio,
because that is a rough watch right now, man, and listen.

(14:49):
You know, Indiana taking care of business, to say the least,
up thirty five to seven over Nebraska. That game is
on Fox right now with six minutes and change there
in the third quarter. So not looking good for Nebraska
on the road. But Indiana looks like they're going to
go to seven and oh already a top sixteen team
in college football. But they'll go to seven and oh

(15:11):
after this game if it continues on the way that
it is. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio. By the way,

here on FSR. But we do have an actual date, right,

(15:58):
like an actual date that we can point two when
it comes to the return of a starting quarterback in
the NFL, and that starting quarterback is tuatungua Iloa of
the Miami Dolphins. Per Diana Rassini of the Athletic Mike McDaniel,
the Dolphins coach, told his team that Tua is expected

(16:21):
to start practicing next Wednesday, and if all goes well,
there's hope that he will be under center for the
Miami Dolphins in Week eight. Right now, Diana Rossini says
that the organization and tuatungua Iloa they used his IR
stint to evaluate his future. It included visits with multiple specialists.

(16:46):
Tua hasn't dealt with any lingering issues from his most
recent concussion, and that Tua tunka Iloa would play Week
seven if he was eligible, right. So that is from
Diana Rasina me on the situation involving to a tug
of by law. Let me go ahead and I'll make
this real easy for everybody, right, and I'll just make it.

(17:09):
This is gonna be simple, so we didn't don't get
caught up in week seven, Week eight, I R this
and that Tua tugaby loa like his expected return date asap.
That would be the expected return day for two A
Tugo by law. Let's let's just go ahead and cut
the crap here as soon as possible. And I got
news for you. If the IR stint was a week,

(17:31):
he'd have been back after a week. Sorry, sorry, And
we've already gone through the Look, they could really use
the guy's help. They are not the same team without him.
Like you know, if you ever wanted to prove your
value in the contract that you got, just turn on
a Dolphins game. Since two has not been the starting quarterback,

(17:51):
it has been atrocious. That's a bad team. Like they
went from Tyreek Hill getting his con tract restructured, putting
together a Hall of Fame career. He's gonna be in
Miami forever and ever his numbers have been better with
Tua than they have been with Patrick Mahomes. We went

(18:11):
from that to is Tyreek Hill on the trade block
all because Tua got injured. Like we have gone from
Mike McDaniel what to hire one of the great coaching
minds in the NFL, completely changing the way teams evaluate

(18:33):
who's a coaching candidate and who's not. We went from
that too. I mean, if this continues on, like what
do we he completely changes that team. So let me
go ahead and help everybody out here. His expected return
date asap, as soon as humanly possible. He will be
out there. And I don't want to hear anybody, anybody

(18:57):
if Tua goes out there and, odd forbid, suffers another concussion,
I don't want to hear a damn thing from anybody
in the media, anybody covering the NFL, any fans. I
don't want to hear anybody criticize the Miami Dolphins for
having him out there and it happening again. I don't
want to hear it. I'm sorry, man, Like he wants

(19:22):
to play, he knows the risks, he understands, He's had conversations,
They've talked to specialists. They took the four weeks to
blah blah, like all that cool, do what you gotta do,
like put your hands up, you know, put them together
if you want to print, Like whatever it is, Guy's
gonna play and this should not be a surprise to

(19:45):
anybody whatsoever. This is like when he went down with
the injury. As he's walking off the field, I was like, oh,
when are we gonna see him back? Sorry? Like people
can get sensitive about this stuff and they can go, well,
what about his long term health? And have you seen? Okay?
I mean it's like I said last week. Look, if

(20:06):
people want to go out there and do something knowing
that there's a risk of long term issues, then who
am I to sit here and say no, you can't
do it? Like I mean, if that's the case. When
you get done criticizing the Dolphins for having Tua back
out in the starting lineup, what I want you to

(20:27):
do is go drive past a fast food line and
yell at everybody who's shoveling waffle fries and milkshakes and
quarter pounders with extra cheese and bread on top of it.
I want you to drive by and I want you
to say, hey, fat ass, what are you doing? Think

(20:49):
about your long term health. It doesn't work that way.
People are gonna do what they're gonna do live and
let live. Tua wants to take this approach, sweet, go ahead.
It's uncomfortable, like, I mean, you can go back. Alex
Smith suffering the injury first came back. I'm watching it going,
oh God, please, don't land wrong, like it's uncomfortable, and

(21:12):
you're watching going, oh, is he gonna be okay? Is
he going to slide this time? How is he going
to slide? Is he? But this is just the reality
of it. There wasn't not one point during the course
of Tua getting the concussion and the conversation and the
discussion afterwards. At no point when everyone's thrown out retirement

(21:36):
and he should do this and they're talking for two
and like letting him know what he needs to do.
There wasn't one point where I thought, yeah, we may
never see him again. My ass that guy was coming
back and playing sorry and if you want to cite
financial reasons, if you weren't like whatever he was playing.
And so when this expected timeline for Tua's return comes out, no, no,

(21:58):
I'll tell you what the timeline was asap. What are
we talking about here? Like, what are we talking about?
You needed one shot of Skyler Thompson and one whiff
of Tyler Huntley before you realized, oh boy, yeah, so

(22:23):
what are you you feeling? You good? Everything good? I mean, yeah, yeah,
so we're good here, he'll be back. I don't have
a problem with it. So that's the expected timeline for
two of tonguea Bai Loa. And if you were asked
the Dolphins, if I got news for you, if you'd
ask Mike McDaniel, he probably would have said, same game.
How you feeling, Bud. Here's some smelling salts, and you know,

(22:45):
it's like, not try to diminish it, but just the
reality of it. And if people can't handle that, then
I don't know, stop watching, is what it is. Jonas
Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox at
the Jonas Knox on X and you can hang out
with us as always on the iHeartRadio app R. It's
come up next here. We're going to hand out an award.
All right. We get criticized a lot of people think,
you know, a little bit too negative here, sometimes a

(23:06):
little bit too negative. Hey, that's fine, so we'll hand
out an award. We've got an award to handout on
this show. That'll be yours here on FSR. But for
all the latest from around the world of sports, make
some noise for Kevin wired Earth.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, famous for getting in shootouts but not actually getting shot.
And you know who's been like that this year in
college football is the Army Black Knights. They're six to o,
undefeated and twenty third in the country. And yeah, East
Carolina actually did just get on the board, so it's
no longer a shut up a man Army thirty eight
to seven. So they did take a touchdown against them

(23:40):
in this game. But it was a great game, a
great start so far for Army as they're well on
their way to seven. And oh, number fifteen Nebraska, Number
fifteen Indiana, excuse me putting the pounding on Nebraska forty
one to seven, as the Hoosiers have about one forty
six to go in the third quarter and they're well
on their way to go to seven. And number ten

(24:01):
Clemson thirty eight ten lead over Virginia. They're nearing the
end of the third quarter. Number six Miami and Louisville.
This one has gotten close, and Louisville has just scored actually,
so it is now within one point pending the extra point.
Number six Miami and Louisville thirty one thirty. The Hurricanes
currently lead it, but the Cardinal is about to go

(24:23):
for that extra point to potentially tie it up. Number
nineteen Missouri trailing Auburn seventeen to six. Number to Wisconsin
and Northwestern twenty three to three, the Badgers leading UCLA
and Rutgers. The Bruins trying to hang on for their
first ever Big Ten win. They gotta win against Hawaii
to begin the season. Otherwise, it's been a rough going

(24:45):
of them so far, and they are winning though against Rutgers.
Back East twenty eight to nineteen, Wake Forest and Yukon.
It's the Demon Deacons in front twenty to thirteen. They're
in the fourth quarter. Arizona State trailing Cincinnati twenty four
to fourteen. They have reached beginning of the fourth Louisiana
and Coastal Carolina tied at seventeen, and the third South
Carolina and Oklahoma Man who saw this one coming the

(25:08):
game Cocks leading this one thirty two to three. So
after the Sooners got demolished by Texas for the second
week in a row, really find themselves on the wrong
end of a blowout and Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan some action.
It is Eastern Michigan leaving this one at ten. Nothing
back of you, Jonas.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Thanks Kevin Jonas Knox. Here on Fox Sports Radio, by
the way, coming up in less than fifteen minutes from
now from these ti raq dot com studios, we are
going to have another edition of Do You Care? That's
face let me just go for anybody like the new
audience out here, it's you know, there's been storylines that
you've been force fed, like a lot of people just
like push these storylines down your throat and they go, hey,

(25:45):
what do you think about this? What do you think
about that? Hey? What about and like we're gonna get
brutally honest with you, all right, We're not gonna pull
any punches here. We're gonna tell you whether or not
they matter, you know, and whether or not they don't.
So if that's offensive to some people, sorry, but it's
another edition of do You Care? As we light some

(26:06):
things up here on Fox Sports Radio. That'll be yours
here in about fifteen minutes from now. So this is
something that we do every single week as well too
on this show, and it kind of harkens back to
when the Sunday Ticket package first came out and television
started to change to where they would go into HD,
Like HD used to be like whoa, you got HD?

(26:27):
That was like a big deal. There was always one
game for some reason that wasn't in HD. It was
like Sunday Ticket didn't have the rights to have every
game in HD, so one had to be in Standard Deaf.
And it was just weird, like it was just like
it just it didn't make sense, but it was kind
of an insult, like, Hey, which game is going to
be the game that's in Standard Deaf this week? And
it was usually the game that was like worthless and
didn't matter and all that stuff. And so we decided,

(26:50):
all right, well why don't we bring back something similar
and so what we've deemed this is the TGFG game
of the week, all right, And this week's award for
the tg FG Game of the Week in the NFL,
gohes too, Patriots versus Jaguars. Oh yeah, put that near

(27:17):
fish and chips pipe and smoke it, London, you get
this bag of vomit to open up your Sunday. This
has got to be the worst game they've gotten there's
got to be the worst. I mean you imagine, like
anybody in London, Like I swear people in London have

(27:38):
been hearing about how great the NFL is. Man, everyone
tells us how great the NFL is. We gotta check
this out for ourselves. And you walk in to that
burning diaper that is the Jaguars and the Patriots on
Sunday morning. This is a brutal game. Absolutely, bro New
England stinks. Drake may gave him a little bit of hope,

(28:00):
threw a couple of touchdown passes, but that team stinks
out loud. And the Jacksonville Jaguars were fully exposed last
week by the Chicago Bears. You talk about a team
that was overrated and overvalued and overpicked. And I know
that because I'm one of them who actually thought Jacksonville

(28:21):
was going to win the AFC South. And all Jacksonville
has done is disappoint And I would say they're fans,
but I don't even know what those are anymore. And
they kind of saw the writing on the wall years
ago when people in Jacksonville were like, hey, listen, man,
we're going to send some of these games over to London.
Just be warned. Okay, just be warned, but don't worry

(28:42):
about it. When they do return home. We've got a
swimming pool that's being installed in the top deck. So
if you're a big fan of swimming pools at home
and games on the road in London, welcome to being
a Jaguars fan. They are brutal. And the only thing
I'm wondering, and I know this isn't like him, but

(29:03):
if we're looking at the Jets, all right, we're looking
at the situation with the Jets, and we're like, all right,
they go over to London, they look terrible, all right,
they look terrible, but it was like they had a
chance to win that game, right, They had a chance
to win that game. And that's against Minnesota, who's one
of the better teams in football. And they come back
and less than two days later, Robert Sala gets clipped, fired,

(29:27):
escorted it out of the building. What's the thinking with
Doug Peterson and the Jaguars if they lose this game?
And let me be clear, I don't call for anybody's
job because I know what it's like to be fired,
and I don't care what the profession is is sucks,
But if that's the bar if Jacksonville a second week
in a row, gets beaten or gets beaten badly and

(29:49):
they're a significant favorite in this game for some reason,
for some reason, if Jacksonville gets beaten again in London,
I can't imagine that's gonna sit real well with a
lot of people there in Jacksonville. I can't imagine this
is gonna go overwell. And so people were talking about, hey,
shod Cohn kind of putting Doug Peterson and the coaching

(30:10):
staff on notice. And last year was a disappointment and
players were injured and this can't happen again. And there's
been some speculation, you know, man, maybe Bill Belichick would
take the job, Like, if that was a job that
did indeed open up and they can't get this thing
turned around, maybe Belichick would take the job. I gotta
be honest with you, if you're looking around at all

(30:31):
the openings, potentially at the end of this year, Jacksonville's
right there in contention with one of the worst ones.
Like based on what we've seen, the expectations, their inability
to get anything productive going on offense, like it is
all of a sudden, not that great of a gig.
The more we get to see him and the more

(30:52):
we get to look at him. So congratulations, though, rough
season for the Jacksonville Jaguars, rough season for the new
Ing Patriots, but you did win an award in Week seven.
You get the TGFG Game of the Week Award. It's
the thank God for Gambling Game of the Week award,
because if not for gambling, nobody is watching this bag

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Live Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. This song socks Man,
Can I Chris? Can I tell you my my penny
Wise story.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
You have a story.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Okay, yeah, yeah, penny Wise is not the clown from it.
We're talking about the band penny Wise. So when I
played when I was playing high school football, I remember
sophomore year, our JV team, for some reason, they thought
this song would be the song that we get everybody
hyped up for games, and like they wondered, like why

(32:26):
for some reason we went on to be just an
atrocious team our junior and senior year, I mean, got
absolutely blasted in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Well, I think I think we can identify the problem here.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
What it wasn't me?

Speaker 3 (32:38):
I didn't play no, no, no, this song. This song's
meant to hype up British people.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Oh okay, well whoever it is?

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah yeah, no, no, I'm just saying, like I clearly
a mismatch of misdeployment of resources.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, it was not good for Thousand Oaks High School.
And by the way, anybody who was a member and
who took part in the nineteen I forget what year
it was, I forget what year it was, but anybody
who took part in our senior year and took part
in that playoff game a loss to Lompoke. You should
be embarrassed, absolutely embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
You one get anyone get recruited to a good height,
to a good college. There, God, no after that, what
do you think? What do you think the highest scholarship
offer was there?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
D three Naia, Yeah, like Ohio Wesleyan, I think was.
I sort of got there was a D three, and
I think there might have been a couple of D
two's in there. But yeah, oh nobody, nobody from that
that we got absolutely destroyed. But again I can't help
be held responsible for because I didn't play. It was
my problem. So you guys lost, not me. There's a

(33:41):
me before we is my philosophy when it comes to
bad losses in high school football. All right, So coming
up top of next hour a little over twelve minutes
from now from the tairaq dot com studios, we are
going to tell you how while one team is making
kind of a kind of an awkward decision in the NFL,
there's another team that just awkward all the way around.

(34:02):
That'll be yours here again top of next hour a
little over ten minutes from now, because they actually meet
up this weekend, so it'll be a fun one. A

Speaker 4 (34:30):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.
Dmsre reports. Now let's get kinky. Here's some of the
big stories from the last week. But Jonas, the real
question is do you care?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
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 5 (34:51):
Pat all right, Jonas, Well, I'll tell you what people
may be caring about. Jayden Daniels, Well, apparently, Jonas, he's
been utilizing the our simulation to not only prepare them
for games, but also practice his own game of doing
you know, sneaks and runs and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Do you care?

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Not?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Really? I think it's like, uh, like the people that
walk around with those goggles, Like at a certain point
it's kind of disrespectful, you know what I mean, Like,
you know, you like it's it's a beautiful day out,
you know, like the fall colors are starting to set in.
You know, like out here in southern California, we've got wins,

(35:31):
so it's like, you know, some crisp wins but a
little bit of heat. And then you've got you know,
people across the country are getting ready for football on
a Saturday or a Sunday, and then you got some
people walking around with VR goggles and it's just like
you just want to tap him on the shoulder and
be like you're a geek, Like what are you doing?
Like what like there's a whole world out here, Like

(35:52):
put your phone down, except you know Instaid, you know,
it's keep listening to the iHeartRadio app and Fox Sports
Radio I Demand, but like, just put the goggles down
and just open up your eyes and look around and
be like, you know, I'm I'm lucky enough to have
working eyes. I appreciate it. Let me go ahead and like,
you know, walk around and use these things that have

(36:12):
been on my face my entire life and not put
on a pair of goggles. But I mean, Jade Dan
who has been fantastic, so maybe he's onto something next.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
All right, Jones, Well, speaking of a team that hasn't
been very fantastic, do you care that? Noted Cowboy fan
Chris Christi ripped Lions head coach Dan Campbell for doing
trick plays after the blowout was ongoing, citing that Campbell
had no class.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, I do. Let me tell you why I love it,
not because it's politics. I couldn't care less about that,
because he might be right. I'll just say this, all right.
The Detroit Lions had two goals going into that game.
One get revenge and beat Dallas for what happened in

(36:56):
Dallas last year with the uh you know man l
Bigi Bowl or whether he was in and all that,
and two to clown the Cowboys. And the best part
about all of it was they did it and Dallas
had no answer. They could do nothing about it. Detroit
walked in there and clowned them in front of their

(37:16):
fans worse than we've ever seen before. Like the big
loss to Green Bay was like whoa, that was shocking,
like playoff game? What happened? Jordan Love? And then the
loss to New Orleans is like, well, maybe we underestimated
New Orleans, but like Detroit, you knew what this was about,
Like you knew what they had in mind, and they
went in there and totally exposed you in front of

(37:38):
your fans. I thought it was hilarious. And he's probably
onto something next.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
All right, Jonas, do you care that Clippers Kawhi Leonard
is out indefinitely to start the season with that same
knee injury that's plagued him all year.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:51):
This I love it, brutal man. I mean, if you're
Steve Bomber, like, yeah, you open up this new into
a dome, which is like basically like the most innovative
arena anybody's ever seen. I can't wait to get out
to a game there, Like I'm gonna feel totally lost,
but I can't wait to be out to a game there.
And it's the same old problem Kawhi Leonard can't stay healthy,

(38:14):
and it feels like it's the same issue every single year.
And this is a team who not that long ago
landed Paul George and Kawhi Leonard went behind through the
back door, had a secret meeting, stole both from the
Lakers and ended up together and have had nothing to
show for it. Kind of a bumber.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
Next, all right, Jones, a Canadian dog walker broke the
Guinness World Record by taking let's see, thirty eight dogs
in one walk all together, and that was for over
half a mile.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Do you care, sir? Not really, this person's a complete
just a complete laser. Like this is like, I'll be
honest with you, man, Like this is a really bad
representative for the entire country of Canada. Like this is terrible.
Like you've got like people that grow up playing hockey,

(39:07):
like they wait for it to freeze over in the
backyard and they go out there, they throw on some
skates and they start taking pucks to the shin when
they're like four months old. And then you've got some
hippie loser who's taken dogs on a walk and taken
thirty eight at a single time. Like I get look,
and again, I don't want to judge, Like this is
a judgment free zone, but let me just point this out.

(39:28):
If you're hanging out with thirty eight dogs at a time,
like you've got to reevaluate some things, like get some friends,
like like hang out with a human being. I guarantee you.
I don't know a single thing about this person. If
you walked into their home and opened up their closet,
I one hundred percent believe you would find a blow

(39:51):
up though, one hundred percent like, I don't need to
know a single thing about them. I don't need to
know their horoscope. I don't need to know their background.
I don't need to know their their Facebook, their TikTok,
their snap base. I don't need to know any of it.
You go in their closet, you will find a blow
up doll and thirty eight dog callers. That person's a loser,
and just be thankful that you are not them. Enough

(40:14):
is enough. So it is kind of a weird, weird,
weird way to handle things. In the National Football League,
two teams are doing it, and believe it or not,
they're actually facing off this weekend in the NFL. We'll
get into that for you coming up here just a
couple of moments from now. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.

(41:01):
com the way tire buying should be. So I was
talking about this earlier in the show, that the Steelers
have chosen a really strange way to approach the quarterback position.
But I kind of feel like it's justin Field's doing
and he doesn't Maybe it's not his fault, but maybe

(41:24):
it's just the whole thing's odd that you're making the
decision now to go to Russell Wilson, like you just
won the game, like you just won. Like it's not
like they went into Vegas last week and got beaten
by the Raiders. No, you won and you won handedly
like it was wasn't close. And you've seen that they've
won a lot of their games, Like it's like they're

(41:46):
four and two, Like it it's not like this is
a bad football team, Like this is a this is
a good team like this is this is a team
that you look at and you go, okay, well, I
mean tied for the division lead and a playoff team
at this point time. And yet here we go, we're
gonna make the move. We're gonna And so that's why
you see the rapport come out from NFL Network where it's, well,

(42:08):
you know, Russell Wilson's gonna start, but Justin Field is
gonna play, And it's because they're kind of in no
man's land where Justin Fields hasn't been good enough to
just win the job outright, but he hasn't been bad
enough to just lose the job outright. So they're kind
of in this spot to where uh, okay, like we'll
we'll go with Russell Wilson because we brought him in

(42:30):
to be the starter and because he's healthy now and
maybe he'll give us a spark and maybe we're gonna
look better. And yet you hear from people who talk
with players in that locker room and talk with people
around the team, and there's a growing momentum for Justin
Field should be the starter. Just let him run with it,
Like you kind of know what Russ is at this point,

(42:51):
let's just run with justin fields. But Mike Tomlin's making
the choice. They're taking this approach, and it's like, Okay,
I guess that's where we're going with all this. But
we're just gonna even though we've got a lot to
play for and there's a lot that we're going Okay,
I guess sure. And then when you actually take a

(43:12):
step back and you look at the team they're playing
this weekend, the Jets, and you realize, yeah, that's kind
of awkward too, Like both kind of awkward approaches to
the season. So, like the Jets come into the season
and they decide five games in, we've seen enough. We've

(43:34):
seen enough, we've got to make a coaching change. It's like,
all right, well, if you're going to make a coaching change,
why didn't you just do it like in the off season,
Like like you basically gave Robert Sala a little over
a month and like you're like, no, we've seen enough.
We've got to move on. Like okay, well, like, wouldn't
you think that it would be a better plan of
this really if you, like if you was like that

(43:56):
close to being pushed off the edge, why we like
just push them off. What are you doing? Like why
get ready for a season, go through training camp, go
through the entire process and only give him like a
little over a month and then decide you got to
clip him and move on in a different direction. Like
it just it is weird, like when you'd actually take
a step back, it's kind of weird, you know, in

(44:17):
the moment, you know, I was surprised at the firing.
I was a little surprised that that was the direction
they were taking. But you're just kind of caught in
the chaos of the football season and you're going, you know,
a week by week and game by game, and then
you if you actually just take a step back, it's
just odd, Like what like if it's that close to
be like to just like what are you doing? Like,

(44:42):
it's just it's kind of strange. It's like people who
eat a slice of pizza, but they want to watch
their calories and watch their carbon take so they don't
eat the crust. It's like you've already like you're already there,
just go all the way. Do you really think the

(45:04):
difference between you looking good in your board shorts and
a pair of flip flops at the pool? You think
the difference between you looking presentable and not presentable is
the crust at the end of the giant slice of
pizza that you just swallowed and inhaled in four seconds.
That's the difference. It's not it's the whole pizza. Like,

(45:27):
if you're the Jets and Robert Sala was that close
to being fired, that it only just do it previous,
like let the guy move on with his life. Don't
hijack him the entire offseason into the regular season and
give him a trip to London and then can him
on the way. That makes it just like, if that's

(45:47):
how close he was, just go all the way and
do what you were gonna do. So it is just awkward.
And what makes it even more awkward is the fact
that you've then presented all of these other narratives to
be around it, whether it's Roger's fault or it's Woody,
like all these other narratives have now been thrown into

(46:08):
the fire of the Jets season that probably didn't need
to be there. Like, if you're trying to turn this around,
the way to turn it around is if you need
to make a change, you want to do it with
as little drama and storyline and crap to go along

(46:29):
with it as possible, and they did the opposite. No, no, no,
we're going to do it in season on a Tuesday,
let everybody talk about it, and we're going to do it,
you know, right before we've got a big time Monday
night game coming up, and you know, there's all these
it's like, what's happening here. It's just strange. The whole

(46:52):
handling of it was strange. Oh and by the way,
they're not out of the division, Like it wasn't like
you made this move with them eleven games under five
hundred out of the division race and an entire no
like they had a big divisional game coming up against

(47:13):
the Bills, huge, and that's when you made the choice.
And then you double down and you trade for DeVante Adams.
But the trade happens on a Monday before the game,
and you wait until Tuesday to announce it after the
lot Like, the whole thing is odd, and it's odd
considering they're taken on the Steelers, who also chose a

(47:33):
really strange way to operate things. When you're in contention
in Pittsburgh's case, you're tied for the division lead in
the Jets case, like you're in the hunt, like it's
not over, and they've taken this approach. It's just weird
the whole thing. And wouldn't you know DeVante Adams he's

(47:54):
going to be ready to rock for this game and
the hamstring injury just everything just kind of okay, like
all right, I guess we're just gonna you know, this
just that's how it is. And the discussion becomes how
much poll and stroke does Rogers have within the organization,
and it's like, oh, all right, like we're just we're

(48:16):
just gonna go with this and just kind of say
this is That's why when this discussion comes out about
potential candidates for the job, like when people are talking
about and they threw Bill Belichick's name into the running
and then Belichick just ethered Woody Johnson and and took

(48:37):
him out on the Manning cast on Monday Night Football.
But that's why when the conversation became like, hey, the
Jets are in the sert in the market for a coach,
Like what do you think you think maybe Bill Belichick
would be a candidate. It's like what, like we talked
about whether or not the Jaguars is a good job
or not. The Jets definitely aren't. They're like, that's of

(48:59):
all the potential openings, that's the worst Jacksonville. Trust me,
it's near the bottom. The Jets are the worst. You
think Belichick, who's gonna have whatever option he wants to
choose from this offseason? You think he's gonna walk into
that crap hole and try and save it. He walked
away from him already, Like when Woody Johnson first got

(49:23):
the team, Belichick walked away. What has he done in
twenty five years of owning it that would have sold
Belichick on, Hey, you made a mistake this time. You
don't want to pass us up? Wait? What like I
can't toose for you? All right? If she fools around
on you after the first date date twenty's gonna get

(49:47):
a little dicey, you know what I mean? Like nothing
has gone right over the past twenty five years for
the Jets for Belichick to be like, oh god, I'll
take from here, guys. No, So when you just look
at these two teams who are meeting up on Sunday
Night Football this week, it's just strange the way they
chose to approach the remainder of the season. Considering you're

(50:11):
in contention, you're not bad teams yet this is the
way they're gonna handle it. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports
Radio at the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas
Knocks On X. By the way, a lot of a
positive feedback here on the show. Paul rights in, get

(50:31):
back in your Dodgers onesie and bleeping it to your
fantasy bleep Otani and little bleep boy fan girling like
the bleepwashing bleep you blue bleephole you are. Damn He's
not happy. Tony writes in, only j Off Bleep Jonas

(50:56):
Knox can make bleep mets and they're hacky. Remus looks
somewhat manly, you bleep muncher. By the way, the grimmest
thing is lamb. I mean it is. I don't know
why that's being applied to me by Aaron in. Hey, Jonas,
Fox Sports treats you just like the Steelers treat Justin Fields.

(51:19):
You don't suck every Saturday, so you get to keep
this raggedy sports show, but you'll probably be replaced by
chat GPT five soon, so keep up the mediocre work.
Thanks guarantee we'll do better ratings in chat f that
guy Derek writes in we need j Bleepler to steamroll

(51:44):
this bleep and bleep Jonas Knox in his cyber truck
like roadkill and then put some lead in you with
his piece like a true bleepneck. Kind of him to
actually put up Jay Cutler's mugshot photo though, to go
ahead and kind of tie that whole tweet together. So
at the Jonas Knocks on X, that is at the

(52:06):
Jonas Knocks on X, and you can see the unedited
versions of all of those if you would like to,
let's go live to our I have a thought about
the behavior of some of the people on X Insider
Chris Prophet for the latest Chris, you.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Don't actually have a cyber truck to you.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
You've seen my truck, just making sure it's a two
thousand and six. I just got I got my maintenance done.
I'm at three hundred and seventy thousand miles.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Listen, everyone knows the money you are raking in here
at Fox Sports Radio is when of the paid talents totally.
Those those things are like everywhere now. So I just
wondered if that had gotten arounds you or not.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
I think no no, I don't look and it's not
like like I love youl On Musk, you know, I
think he's entertaining as hell. You know. I like the
fact that he took over X because it's just, you know, now,
it's like anybody that does anything's getting exposed. But yeah,
I can't get into it, man like, I like, it's
just it's too futuristic for me. It just is.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
There's just too many of them now on the LA streets.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
I swear to God, the first time I heard a tesla,
I didn't even see it. I heard it, so I
was and I don't remember when this was or where
I was at specifically, but I heard the like the
like the whistling, and I thought it was a UFO,
I swear to God, because I pictured that's what a
UFO would sound like. And I turn around, like, what

(53:27):
the hell is that? And it was a tesla. But
I'd never heard that before. And then the first time
I got in one, the guy literally accelerated. I was
in an uber. The guy was driving a Tesla. He
merged onto the freeway and went from forty five to
eighty like the snap of your fingers. I've never seen
anything like it.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Well, we all know when your truck is coming into
the Fox Sports radio studio, we can hear it a
mile away.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Oh yeah, it's a Sanford.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Music.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Oh yeah, it's uh look it's an older truck man,
all right. I like, I'm loyal, loyal to a fault.
That's the way I operate. So I will continue to
ride that bad boy until there's no other one.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Do you What do they say when you go in
for the smog check? Are they just kind of like
ww hai, Yeah, this is going to be a dicey
one here, bro.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
I mean, somehow, some way, but life finds a way. Look.
I learned this from my buddy's dad, who was a mechanic.
All right. He had a nineteen seventy one Cadillac Seville.
They called it the Zombie because it never died, same engine.
That thing was going for years. And then you know,
once I had it, I got, you know, t boned
at an intersection leaving one of my band's concerts. And yeah,

(54:35):
that's a whole lot, longer story for another day. But
he told me, if you want to make your car last,
you have to be religious about your oil changes, whether
it's every three thousand, every five thousand, whatever. The recommendation,
do not delay, don't wait, get it done, and your
car will last forever and ever. Just but a lot

(54:55):
of people get lazy with it and go out the
maintenance light is on. I'll wait till next I'll do
it next week, I'll do it the week after. Blah
blah blah. He said, no, be religious about your oil changes,
and you'll never have that car fail on you.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
So I was told I learned a lot on car maintenance.
Dring that was like my hobby during the pandemic is oh,
I can replace this, I can do this. Yeah, and
it wasn't enough to save my old beater. But now
that I've got something new ish, I'm at least trying
to make sure the same mistakes don't happen. Yeah, and
who knows, maybe one day I'll give you a toe
out of here.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yeah, it's a way to go. Probably.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Wait, let me let me think about that phrasing again.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Yeah, that's a little interesting. But it is Jonas Knox
here on Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox on
X at the Jonas Knox on X coming up next
here though, from the tire rack dot Com Studios by
the way you need tires, go to tire rack A right.
Talking about cars, we're going to tell you about how
one team in the NFL has picked the perfect time

(55:51):
to just not play the perfect time. We'll explain right
here on FSR Boom Texas for Jonas own As Knox
Fox Sports Radio coming up. We'll call it a little
over ten minutes from now here from the tiraq dot
com studios. For some reason, this idea has been thrown

(56:13):
around in the NFL. I think it's lame. I think
it's dumb. I don't understand the thinking the logic behind it.
But we will get into that here for you coming
up a little over ten minutes from now here on FSR. So,
if you're watching right now the game of the day
in college football, because there's been a lot of poundings,
like people are just getting blown out in college football

(56:35):
thus far, Indiana worked over, Nebraska, Army working over ECU.
Oklahoma is getting worked over by South Carolina at home,
probably a surprise to some people. But the game so
far that everybody is watching and monitoring because it's been
fantastic has been Miami at Louisville and the Hurricanes have

(56:58):
a forty five to thirty eight lead under five to
play in the game there at Louisville, and cam Ward
has been fantastic. There's been a lot of for those
of you that haven't watched Ashton Genty from Boise State,
he's unbelievable. Like just like I first, like I started
hearing a little bit about him earlier in the season.
Then I watched him against Oregon and it was like

(57:21):
him versus Dylan Gabriel in a shootout and he's a
running back. Ashton Gent, He's a running back, and it
was like that was the like every time Dylan Gabriel
went down and Oregon scored, it was like, oh, we'll
just give it to Ashton Genti'll rip off a seventy
yard touchdown run. Like it's crazy. And so I got
to watch him against Hawaii last week, and so he
is the favorite to win the Heisman, but cam Ward

(57:43):
is actually second. So you know, you've got Travis Hunter
out there trying to state, you know, make his claim
that he should be the Heisman and all that stuff.
And meanwhile, cam Ward has been phenomenal for Miami all
year long, and he's been tremendous in this game. There
was a near fumble. There was a stripsack fumble score
open score for Louisville. It was reviewed and overturned on

(58:04):
cam Ward. But other than that, he's thrown four touchdowns.
It hasn't been picked off. Like he's been great for
Miami in this game, and he's been great all season long.
And quietly, the Hurricanes are sitting there six in the country,
just quietly, just not a lot of noise, just kind
of sitting back, you know, just sitting back, you know, patiently,

(58:24):
just winning game after game. Probably shouldn't have won that
game against Virginia Tech, you know, if we're being honest,
you know, like you know, you go with what was
called on the field, you know, in that hil Mary situation.
But apparently they don't Miami. But nonetheless, you know, Miami,
you know, probably should have lost to col you know, babe,
that's fine. A lot of nail biers, a lot of
close games. Bet another one at Louisville. But if they

(58:46):
lose this game right now they are leading with the
football under five to go up forty five thirty eight,
it's not gonna be because of cam Ward. If they
lose this game. Cam Ward has been fantastic this game
and basically every other game this season for Miami, and
that's why he is second in the Heisman Trophy odds
on DraftKings Right now, Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, football fans, be sure to tune in

(59:09):
to Fox Sports Radio every Sunday morning, beginning at ten
am Eastern time, seven am Pacific for Countdown to Kickoff
presented by BETMGM, Brian No, Jeff Schwartz, and professional better
Bill Krackenberger will have you covered three hours before kickoff
every Sunday morning. Listen to Countdown to Kickoff, presented by
BETMGM right here on Fox Sports Radio and on the
iHeartRadio app. All right, so I just want to raise

(59:31):
my hand up. I am guilty of something. I took
the bait again. I did it again, totally fell for it.
Like for whatever reason, I thought that the Cowboys were
going to be good this year. I don't know why.
I don't know, Like I kind of I take that
bait every year, Like whatever Jerry Jones is selling. For

(59:55):
whatever reason, I keep buying it. I don't get it, man,
Like I just like travel, I don't get it. I
don't know what My problem is to be honest with you,
like I really don't like I think, like look at
and Knox Locks has had a bit of a rough start,
but we've bounced back, you know. More on that coming
up towards the end of the show. By the way,
touchdown Miami Damien Martinez a thirty yard rushing touchdown for

(01:00:18):
the Hurricanes and they've now extended the lead fifty one
to thirty eight at Louisville four minutes and change left
to go there. So so that is your update from Miami,
but for Miami at Louisville. So I'm looking at at
the Cowboys and I'm like, at this point in the season,
you kind of know what you are, right, like you

(01:00:38):
have to know. And I'm watching the Cowboys and I'm like, oh,
they're just not good, Like, yeah, they're not good. And
it's this weird thing where they just play at home
the last four games and not only lose, get destroyed.

(01:00:59):
And for some reason, and I picked this team every year,
like to be a playoff team or to go deep
and make a deep run in the playoffs, to go
to a Super and I don't, I really don't know why.
And I you know, I want to blame Jerry Jones,
but like I don't want to get on his bad
side because you know now that he does. You know
now he's like threatening sports radio hosts and their jobs,

(01:01:21):
you know, like, which is a weird thing to do. Which,
by the way, Like I love Jerry Jones, big fan
of Jerry Jones. I think he's great for the league.
I think he's been great for the Cowboys. Deserves to
be in the Hall of Fame. Love the guy came
off like a douche this week. We're being honest, like
you're gonna pull rank and threaten jobs and say I'm
gonna get because they're they're asking questions about your crap

(01:01:43):
ass football team, like if you don't like it, don't
do the radio hits. If you don't like it, don't
do the hits. And so credit to Sean and RJ.
Like we're not going to softball this, like we're asking
you questions. The team sucks at home while there's injuries, Okay,
what about the previous the last three games at home?

(01:02:05):
Like sorry, Like yeah, you beat the steel like whooped
you do? And then you come back home you get
annihilated by Detroit. Like I'm Sorry, they got clowned. The
Lions are doing hook and ladder plays to offensive linemen.
Chris Christy can get upset about it all he wants,
Like the fact of the matter is the bigger stories

(01:02:27):
in the fact that Dallas didn't couldn't do anything about it,
They couldn't stop it. It's like you're getting clowned, so yes,
you're gonna be asked tough questions. And then Troy Aikman
comes out and is like calling out the wide receivers like, dude,
they're running lazy routes. Sorry, but the timing of this

(01:02:48):
could not be worse and I'll tell you why, because
they're on their bye week, so like you could you
don't even get the opportunity to have a Steelers bounce
back game, Like you don't get that chance to where hey,
it's week by week and it's a knee jerk reaction. No, no, no, no,
Not only is this knee jerk, this knee has been

(01:03:09):
ripped off the leg like you've got an exposed femur
hanging out like you went shark diving without a cage.
Like this is worse than knee jerk. It's gonna last
a little while, Like you like this is the worst
time for the Dallas Cowboys to have their bye week,
the worst because all that anybody remembers is what you
did last. And you know what you did last. You

(01:03:31):
went out and got throttled by Detroit in a game
that was never competitive, ever at all. And so when
you see Jerry Jones have his little meltdown and Troy
Aikman exposed the Cowboys wide receivers and basically just call
them lazy, like listen, man, Dak Prescott's gonna get all

(01:03:53):
the blame, Mike McCarthy get but like, dude, you're running
lazy rap, like this is a bad time for the
Dallas Cowboys and to be a Dallas Cowboy fan. And
for some reason, I pick them every year to be
a playoff team every single year. I don't like, I
don't know why. I don't know what it is, Like
there's just something. It's like it's like food that you

(01:04:15):
know is going to destroy your insides, but you can't
help it, like you just you can't help it. Like
I know when I have Indian food, I know what
the next day is. I'm aware, Like I get it
as spicy as as possible. I know, I know what
the next day is like, I know what later that

(01:04:36):
night is. I know what my breath is. I know
about uh, how bad things are going to smell, how
bad things are going to feel. I do, But I
go back every time like I just I do. And
for some reason, the Dallas Cowboys bring me back every

(01:04:56):
time another one, Like every I picked Dallas to do something,
and every year I'm on the toilet the next morning,
going why why no clue, But I'll take the bait again,
and I'll do it again next year and the year after.
So hey, Jerry Jones, listen, man, I come in peace,

(01:05:19):
don't threaten my job. I'm letting you know this sportstock
radio host falls for your garbage every single season. Jonas
Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox on X.
Coming up next here, we're gonna tell you about a
really dumb idea in the NFL that'll be yours here
on FSR. But for all the latest, we turn it
over to Kevin Wireder.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Yeah, shootout going on in Louisville, Miami and the Louisville Cardinals.
They are now three minutes ago before the end of regulation,
and it's the hurricane starting to pull away Allen so
dous that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Move and jennerbugs into the end zone.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
For Miami touchdown, and just like that, the Hurricanes add
to the drama eighty yards for a.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Touchdown Jozagaki on WQAM in Miami. The Hurricanes now up
by two touchdowns fifty two to thirty eight with two
and a half minutes to go. Now is the clock
ticking down Louisville with the ball at their own forty
yard line as a wild pass interference called, So that'll
be fifteen yards for the Cardinals as they're trying to

(01:06:22):
make up two scores with less than two and a
half minutes remaining. Number nineteen Missouri now in the lead
against Auburn. They've been trailing for much of this game,
but have scored outscored Auburn fifteen to nothing in the
fourth quarter, so they lead in five to four with
forty one seconds to go. And in the Sunbelt, it's

(01:06:43):
Louisiana leading Coastal Carolina thirty four to twenty four. South
Carolina absolutely demolishing Oklahoma the Sooners for the second week
in a row on the wrong end of a blowout
thirty two to nine. The game Cocks leading it with
about nine and a half minutes left, Central Michigan and
Eastern Michigan. Some mactionin and it's Central on fourteen to thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
We've had a few games go.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Final across the FBS, featuring ranked team's army now seven
and OH forty five to twenty eight. They beat East
Carolina number sixteen Indiana fifty six to seven, winners against Nebraska,
the Hoosiers now seven and OH number ten. Clemson pulls
away to beat Virginia forty eight to thirty one Wisconsin Northwestern.

(01:07:25):
It's the Badgers winning at twenty three to three UCLA,
their first conference at long laugh, their first win in
conference play as a member of the Big Ten as
they go on the road to beat Rutgers thirty five
to thirty two, Wake Forest over yukon twenty three twenty
and Cincinnati beats Arizona State twenty four to fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Back to you, Jonas, Thanks Kevin Jonas. Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio, by the way, coming up in about
twelve minutes from now from the tyraq dot com studios.
It is the week seven edition of Knox Locks and
uh like I should be held accountable for what happened
last week, had a really good opportunity to do something
special again, got screwed, got screwed. But you know, my

(01:08:04):
own doing this time, my own doing, my own doing.
We will address that coming up here again about twelve
minutes from now. So I'm all for good ideas as
long as they you know, like I'm good, Like that's fine.
I'm up for any idea, to be honest with you,
like I have a rule, like, don't dismiss anything. It's
like conspiracy theorists. I'll listen to it. Like some of

(01:08:27):
them are entertaining as hell, Like I find it fascinating,
you know, like like somebody like wait, what you believe?
Like this and that, and look some of them have
turned out to be true. So look, I don't dismiss anything.
So when it comes to ideas, I'm all for it
as long as they don't suck. As long as they
don't suck, easy, easy to follow. This one sucks. So

(01:08:51):
apparently I didn't realize this was like actually had gotten
to this point. But according to CBS Sports, they through
this out there this week that the NFL has had
no legitimate conversations about narrowing the goal posts because of
all the long field goal attempts and makes in today's game.

(01:09:14):
Why that was even something that had to be discussed
by the NFL is mind boggling. What a dumb idea. Hey,
you know what, those guys are getting really good at this.
Why don't we narrow the goal posts and make it
more difficult for them? Yeah? Yeah, nice, less points? Cool?

(01:09:39):
All right? Like so what people just can't be good
at their job anymore? Like we've got to We've got
a tiger proof everything, Like I get it. Like golf
did it. You know, they wanted to like get add
a couple of things and make it like okay, fine,
the golf did it. Okay, like you know golf, Hey,
golf did it. They made their courses more difficult. Okay.

(01:10:00):
Golf also has a bunch of blowhards in the gallery
every weekend, like yelling get in the hole every time
guy attempts a punt. So like what are we talking
about here? Like guy lines up to hit a putt
and some nerd and like a tailor made you know,
like sweatproof polo like some dockers pants and golf shoes

(01:10:20):
for no reason whatsoever, you get in the hole. But hey,
golf did it. So you know, like, let's tigerproof the NFL, Like,
let's make the goalpost narrow its stumb like, look credit
kickers for this. Oh you're gonna move the pat back.
Oh you're gonna make like that more difficult on us,

(01:10:45):
Like that's how we're doing this. Like well, Roger Goodell
comes out and says, well, we didn't want like a
throwaway play. You know the point after try it was
a throwaway play because it was a twenty yard field goal.
Oh okay, so you're gonna move it back to thirty
three yards and we're gonna see the percentages go down
and we're gonna see kickers have you know, issues because

(01:11:05):
now all of a sudden in automatic play that was
too easy. So now we're gonna move Okay, cool, So
you're gonna move the pat back. That's nice. So here's
what we're gonna do. We're gonna learn to kick sixty
five yarders like, that's what we're gonna do. So they
adjusted to the NFL's decision to make their job more difficult.

(01:11:28):
They got better at their job, and so now the
thought is, well, we've got to make their job even
more difficult again why maybe they're just good, Like okay,
like maybe they're just you know, maybe kickers really do matter.
Well they're not, they're not players, No, like maybe they
maybe they actually do matter, you know, like you know

(01:11:50):
who doesn't get enough credit for the Chiefs dynasty, Harrison
Bucker Like look, and you could feel whatever he says
off the field, like I like, that's your business, not mine. Listen,
it is like I don't care, that's not what this
show's about. But the point is like he's been like

(01:12:11):
pretty important to their run of success, Like you know,
the Patriots dynasty. I feel like Adam Vinteri and Goskowski
were kind of important to what they had going on.
You know. It's like but nah, no, no, no, these kicks
are just looking too easy. They're looking too easy. We've
got to narrow the goalpost. Dumb idea. I can't believe

(01:12:32):
it was even brought up to the NFL to begin with,
And if it goes through, it's gonna make the look
league look even worse. Gimmicky idea, lame idea. Don't do it,
don't even entertain the idea. Just let these guys be
good and enjoy that. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio
at the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knox on X

(01:12:53):
and coming up next here we are going to close
up shop from the tiraq dot com studios with another
edition of Knox Locks right here on FSR Jonas Knox
Fox Sports Radio coming up top next hour little over
ten minutes from now from the tire rack dot Com studios.
Make sure you stick around. Alex Curry Carmen Batally will
be taking over the airwaves here. All sorts of discussion

(01:13:15):
to be at In the NFL college football, you got
the MLB playoffs, which by the way, have been fantastic.
I'll just say this. I'm look, I'm not trying to
be an a hole, all right, this like the second
time I've said that today. I'm not. But I really
do hope both of these series go seven games, all right.
The Yankees, you know, they just there's like too much firepower.

(01:13:37):
Like the game against Cleveland Game three was one of
the great games you'll ever see. Last night's game was
a great game. But I wanted to go seven for
the Yankees and the Guardians, and I have a real
hard time saying that name. By the way, I'm sorry,
I just not a fan, but I also want the
Dodgers and the Mets to go seven games because I

(01:13:57):
just want the I like the idea of Yankee fans
and Dodgers fans having to sweat it out, like we
all want to see Yankees Dodgers in the World Series,
like we want to see it, like it's a you know,
rematch them. I think eighty one is when they met up.
But you've got all that star power, Aaron Judge, Otani,
John Carlos, Stanton's hitting bombs. You know, maybe I hit
another one out of Dodger Stadium like he did back

(01:14:19):
in the day. Like we an't want that to be
the matchup. I just want him to have to sweat
it out a little bit, game seven extra innings, That's
all I want. I want. I want people nervous. I've
been to Dodger Stadium for a playoff game. Let me
tell you something. It's a lot like Wrigley Field at
a playoff game. Whenever those have happened, which is rare,

(01:14:40):
the home team gets down early in a critical do
or die game and that place turns into a morgue.
It's so much fun. So I just want people to
sweat it out. That's it all right? You like have
like take the better teams and the better stories and
send them to the World Series. Can we just make
them sweat it out a little bit. That's that's all
I want, you know. I like the nerves. It's fun

(01:15:02):
when you don't have a rooting interest. So Carmen and
Alex will have more on all of that fun stuff
here coming up again top of next hour. A reminder
shortly after the show, the podcast will be going up,
so if you've missed any of today's show, which include
highlights like you know a team that has made the

(01:15:23):
decision to be very awkward while also being good in
the NFL, why college football is better now than it
was back in the day, and also why a Canadian
dog walker is a complete and total loser. If you've
missed any of those highlights, they will be featured in

(01:15:43):
the podcast after we go off the air. Just search
Fox Sports Radio wherever you get your podcast. Be sure
to also follow rate and review it again. Search Fox
Sports Radio wherever you get your podcasts. You'll see this
show posted right after we get off the air. I'll
also tweet out a link to that at the Jonas
Knox on X. But right now it's for this.

Speaker 4 (01:16:01):
Lock it, let's not it and no and no knocks loucks.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
I mean we should probably go ahead and look back
at last week quickly you look. I mean felt great
starting off the day, bright and early, six thirty local
time here in southern California, nine to thirty on the
East Coast. The Bears a one point favorite over the
Jacksonville Jaguars, and it should have been one hundred points.

(01:16:27):
Jacksonville stinks. The Bears get it done. It was a
fun watch if you're a Chicago Bear fan, and a
reminder of how bad your team was of you're the
Jacksonville Jaguars. Easy money to start off the day also
got helped out a little bit. The Ravens minus six
and a half. The line actually moved to seven later

(01:16:47):
on and early in the morning on Sunday, but when
we put it in it was six and a half
and they did narrowly cover that. Ravens won by seven.
We'll take it by a half point. So a two
and zero start to the day. And how did I
go go ahead and screw it up? As I mentioned earlier,
I take de bait every time. Cowboys plus three and
a half. Awful pick. They were never close. The game

(01:17:09):
was over and the bet was over, and the opportunity
to go three and zero last week was over real
early on, Detroit exposed them. They're a better team. Dallas
isn't very good. They're on their bye week. They can
go ahead and disappear for a week here from our
NFL lives. So with that, it is a two to
one performance last week. It puts us at eight nine
and one on the season, and now we're back for more.

Speaker 4 (01:17:32):
Lions at Vikings.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
I'm gonna take Minnesota here coming off of bye Detroit
potential emotional letdown after last week when you saw Detroit
going to Dallas and win that big game. The Aiden
Hutchinson industry and injuries, I think is a big deal.
Brian Flores is going to have that team ready to rock.
I think it's a letdown spot for Detroit here. I

(01:17:56):
like Minnesota at home. I'll take the Vikings minus a
point and a half. I took Seahawks at Falcons. I'll
take Atlanta. Atlanta's a three point favorite here. By the way,
you remember when Seattle was three and zero oops, not anymore.
I think Seattle has been exposed. I like the Falcons
minus appoint at home I took she said, forty nine ers,

(01:18:18):
by the way, Atlanta minus three. That should be one
of preface at at Atlanta minus three. Let me go ahead
and make that correction here. I'll take the Chiefs plus
two Andy Reid off of Bye Week, Patrick Mahomes as
an underdog. I don't care that it's on the road.
I will take the Kansas City Chiefs to get it
done yet again against the forty nine ers. And that
is your Week seven edition of Knox Locks Fun One.

(01:18:41):
Alex and Carmen are next year on FSI jonas Son
of a Bitch
