Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have had better stock from beginning. Jonas Knocks, you
thought you knew me.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You didn't know anything about me. He's crazier than air else.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Wrapped that guy, Jonas Knocks, you heard me bring in
some darkness?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Is lighting up your speakers to establish an alibi for
the day. No Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Here's Jonas Knox.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yep, Okay, I'm a part of this.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
World starting to get a little desperate. They are starting
to get a little desperate. We've got the proof. We'll
(00:54):
get into that for you coming up here in just
a couple of moments. From now, Jonas Knocks, 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 and wherever you are making us
a part of your Saturday morning into the afternoon. We
appreciate you doing so. We are going to take you
(01:15):
all the way up until four pm Eastern time, one
o'clock Pacific. It is the post fourth of July edition
here on FSR. And I'll give people credit. Like I
could admire an active defiance, I could admire somebody telling
(01:35):
you don't do this, don't do that, and still pushing
through because there's gonna be a lot of naysayers in
your life. There's gonna be a lot of people that
are gonna tell you can't accomplish something, you can't reach
your goals, you can't do this, you're not capable of that,
you're not built for this, you're not set up for
There's all sorts of people trying to tell you what
you can't do and what you shouldn't do right, And
(01:57):
we've got some brave individuals who have decided, you know what,
despite all that, I'm still gonna push through. I'm gonna persevere.
And those brave individuals are the people that continue to
suffer injuries trying to light off their own fireworks. Congratulations everybody, Hey, congratulations,
nice work, Nice work. They keep telling you, hey, you
(02:25):
keep that up. You're gonna walk around with fingers like
a ninja turtle for the rest of your life. But no,
you can't help yourselves. Can't help it, cannot help it.
It never fails. You go on post fourth of July
and TMZ's got footage of all these fireworks accidents and
(02:45):
explosions and all It's like, oh, by God, what a tragedy.
Correct also a bit of a warning going into it,
Like most of these places, fireworks aren't even legal if
people get a hold of them and are like, you
know what, why don't we just go ahead and see
(03:06):
what this does. Let's tie them all together, let's light
them all up at the same time, or if you
don't want to do that, just put some in the
general vicinity that might catch on fire and also explode,
and then just go from there. Like part of me
kind of admires it. I look at it, I go,
you know what, like all the warning signs, everybody telling
you you can't do this, you shouldn't do that, this
(03:27):
is a bad idea. I wouldn't do that if I
were you, and still just push right on through, right
on through. It's amazing. It's like the people at the zoo, like, hey,
whatever you do, don't reach your hand inside the cage.
Clear as day could not be anymore clear. Do not
reach your hand inside the cage. And all of a sudden,
(03:49):
everybody goes into a panic because for some reason, a
tiger or an orangutang or something gets a hold of
somebody and just starts ripping flesh from their body. But still,
while you focus on the tragedy, I look at it
and I go, yeah, but you know what, how about
the fact that that rocket scientist decided, Hey, forget all
(04:12):
the warnings. I'm gonna go ahead and go rogue here.
Let me figure this whole thing out of my own
I know better than you. Yeah, good move. Every year,
never failed. It's amazing. I keep thinking, not enough, we've
had enough. People have learned that. No, absolutely not. Just
go Google, Just do yourself a favor. Go to X
(04:34):
or Google or rock and just type in most recent
fireworks accidents. Oh my god, page upon page upon page.
It's brilliant. So congratulations your active defiance. Hope it was
worth it. I hope it was worth it. I hope
it was worth walking around whatever it is you call that,
hanging off the end of your wrist for the rest
(04:56):
of your life. I hope. I hope. Hey, dude, you
gotta do Jonas Knox here, Fox Sports Radio. All right,
So I did see something that came out yesterday while
you guys were busy blowing off limbs, trying to set
off Piccolo Pete's and Roman candles in the driveway of
(05:16):
some neighbor, you don't like I did see this. So
Lebron James a picture of him was posted of him
working out at the Calves training facility, and so some
people started speculating and all that stuff, and Lebron simply
responded with something along the lines of man, I train
(05:37):
here every summer. Are you guys all really that bored?
Go get another plate of food. Now, Lebron is guilty
of wanting attention, constantly stirring it up, constantly, needing to
be the center of attention. We all know that we
can all agree on that, even people who love Lebron,
(05:57):
you'd have to agree on that. Here's what Elso it's
about this. This right here is NBA coverage at a
desperate rate, at a desperate state, and at a desperate level.
Because the NBA coverage is starting to figure out that
(06:19):
the end is near for Lebron James. And once he's gone,
what are you going to talk about? Really? What are
you going to talk about? Jonas Valentiunis or whatever his
name is, wanting to go play in Finland or somewhere
like ooh, I'd rather go to what is there?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
This is?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Like people always say, oh, Lebron, this Lebron, that there's
more of the NBA in Lebron. There's more of the
NBA than Lebron's team. Okay, let's talk about him. You
go first, Hey, Chet Holmgren had a cheeseburger sweet? Anybody else? Mmmm?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, there's there is nothing else. And I think people
in the NBA, and you could look, Lebron is guilty
of all sorts of stuff, and you could find fault
in a lot of the way he handles himself and
the way he handles the media and the attention he
needs and all of this stuff and the moving around
and you know, the vague comments and you know, allegedly
(07:29):
reading just the first page of a book just to
make it look like he is reading like all like
whatever you want to say, that's fine, that's fine. But
there is this thing that people have sort of banked
on and leaned on and depended on, and it's him.
(07:50):
And once that's gone, and it's sooner rather than later,
and it could be after this year, who knows, it
could be this summer. Once that happens, what do you got.
You have milked that so dry that nothing else has
(08:11):
been fed or watered nothing else has been looked after. Nothing, nothing.
And so if you like basketball and you just want
to watch good basketball, this recent NBA Finals was great.
I enjoyed it. Great series, a couple of teams that
(08:32):
don't really have like a marquee star even though they're
trying to push it on you and try and force
it onto I was. I liked it. It was fun.
In fact, you had some good series, exciting finishes. I
thought it was fun Like this NBA Playoffs. I thought
it was fun. But then you start looking at the
ratings and all that, and you start to looking at say,
oh my god, the numbers are down. What do we
(08:53):
do here? What do we Well? You handle this like
you should have handled it years ago. How about you
like try and push somebody other than just one guy?
How about that? How about that? But the NBA is
so top have you with its coverage that if it's
not Lebron And if you think I'm crazy, if you
think this is just made up straw man, fake think
(09:16):
so do this put on any daytime sports TV debate
show or whatever you want to call it. Put it on,
and when an NBA topic comes up on the screen,
don't even listen. To the sound, Is it or is
it not? Ninety percent of the time about Lebron James
or something in relation to Lebron James. That's a fact.
(09:42):
Look at the chirons, which are the little boxes that
have the graphics, and ask how many of those hypothetical
questions are about anybody other than Lebron James in the NBA.
Out of one hundred, what will you say, five? Ten?
Maybe the coverage of the league is entirely about one guy.
(10:07):
He's working out at a place he lives at in
the off season. People start running with it, and he's saying, dude,
I'm here every off season, Go get another plate of food.
In this sense, in this sense, he's right. Is he
part of this? Is he part of the problem? Did
he cause a lot of this? Yes, he's guilty of
that as well too. But I think people in the
(10:31):
NBA who cover the NBA, people who who love to
discuss NBA, who love to discuss, you know, all the
because they think it's a bigger deal than it actually.
I think people are starting to come to the realization that,
hey man, this old thing's winding down pretty quick.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Here.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
We uh might have a little bit of an issue.
It's like somebody who has a shoe box full of
cash under their bed and every time they want to
pay for something, they just reach in and grab a
few more, and grab a few more, and they grab
a few more. Hey, ice creamman's down the street. Hey,
buy everybody on the block something. See, they grab a
few more, grab a few. Hey making a beer on
(11:08):
No problem, grab a few more, grab a few more. Hey,
uber eats. Anybody want anything? Nah, just go to the
drive through. Here's a few more. And then you reach
in there and all of a sudden you realize, oh god,
there's one left. Uh oh, probably should have maybe invested
in some other things instead of just grabbing and going.
And that's all people have been doing about the NBA
(11:29):
with Lebron, just grabbing whatever headline they could, and soon,
very soon, he ain't gonna be there anymore. So you
better get used to the reality of we gotta start
pushing something else, or maybe looking at somebody else's tweets
or workout videos to try and pull some headlines, because
(11:51):
this whole thing is running dry quick. At the Jonas
Knocks On X. At the Jonas Knocks On X and

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Or wherever you get your podcast. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up, we'll call it a little over ten minutes
from now. Something during the Fourth of July festivities occurred
to me, something that I've actually never done, kind of
surprising yet many people in sports, including yourself, all partake.
(13:45):
We will get into that for you again coming up
here a little over ten minutes from now. So there's
been some stuff that's come out of Pittsburgh over the
past several days in regard to the Steelers who made
the big time trade over you know a few days
ago where they acquired Jalen Ramsey and John hus Smith.
They traded away micka Fitzpatricks and pick swaps whatever, and
(14:08):
so you look at that deal, then you look at
you hear some of the reports about the TJ. Watt contract.
A D. D. Kikwalla was on the fan in Pittsburgh
and was talking about how, you know, maybe there's some
resentment that still holds over from the last negotiations because
the Steelers said something along the lines of, you know,
(14:29):
you're lucky to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and he said,
you're lucky to have me and all that like, and
who knows whether or not that's legit adity reported on it,
and you know, you take it for what it's worth.
I have no idea. I don't know who her sources are.
But there's just you know, you're hearing these different stories
that are coming out of Pittsburgh and all of that,
and and the big question, you know, comes down to,
(14:52):
all right, why are they going to get a t J.
Watt deal done? And then they go out and announce
a contract extension for their general manager a couple of
days ago. So Omar Khn gets a three year contract extension.
So let me ask you this, Why the hell would
you give your GM a three year contract extension if
(15:13):
you weren't pretty certain that you were going to get
things worked out with TJ.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Watt?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Know what I mean. He's like, everyone's wondering, like, hey man,
what's gonna happen with the TJ. Watt stuff? Do you
think they're gonna get that? Right? There? Told me, yeah,
something's gonna get done. I don't I don't care about
these the report about, well, maybe there's some resentment over
the last negotiation, All right, what man, There's resentment during
(15:40):
every negotiation because one side's trying to tell you what
you're worth. You're trying to counter and they're going to
try and come up with evidence to show you why
you don't deserve what you're looking for. Derek Jeter had
resentment his final contract negotiation with the Yankees. I don't
see anybody talking about that. I don't see whenever Derek
(16:03):
Jeter goes back to New York, I don't hear any
of that stuff come up.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's just he's an all time great Yankee and we
were lucky to have him. So whatever resentment there was,
whatever the Steelers gave you a tell, the tell was
giving omark on that three year extension meant that we're
not going to lose TJ. Watt. And I say that
(16:28):
because if something were to happen and you were to
lose TJ. Watt, it undoes everything you did this offseason.
I don't want to hear about Aaron Rodgers. I don't
want to hear about dk metcalf. I don't want to
hear about Jalen Ramsey. I don't want to hear about
John Newsmith. I don't want to hear about any of
(16:50):
that stuff. If all of that culminates in you losing
TJ Watt, trading him whatever, like, you know, the relationship
is fractured, he doesn't want to be there. That erases
all of the good you did this offseason. So why
(17:10):
would you give the guy who's trying to get that
done an extension and further job security if you weren't
entirely sure that he was going to be able to
get a deal done with TJ Watt. It just doesn't
make sense. So when I see that, I'm looking at
all these reports and I'm you know, going through stuff
(17:32):
before the show, and I'm seeing all these various reports
and people talking about trade candidates and trade scenarios and
where TJ walking out. Dude, he's not going anywhere. It
was a long shot for him to be traded to
begin with. But people have looked at it and said, well,
you know, his age, and maybe you know the last negotiation,
(17:53):
and you know, maybe he's you know, not on the
same page with the organization. No TJ. Watt is in
the final year of deal that he signed, and that
was a deal that was signed years before Miles Garrett
decided to get forty million dollars a year. So he's
looking to get paid and he should get paid. Guy's
going to be a Hall of Famer. He's been everything
(18:15):
you wanted and then some with the organization. And if
this really is a go for broke type year, which
is what it feels like, the Steelers are just trying
new stuff, which I'll give them credit. Man, I don't personally,
I don't think that this is going to work in
(18:36):
result in a Super Bowl. I call me crazy. I
still think that there's some obstacles in the AFC that
they would need to get through. Could they be a
playoff team? Okay, But I don't know that anybody looks
at them and says, all right, this is going to
be This is closing the gap between them and Kansas City,
between them and Baltimore, between them and Buffalo insert other
(18:59):
AFC team who were playoff teams a year ago. But
I'll give them credit. At least they're trying something. They're
trying to do something because it felt like they'd been
doing the same thing repetitively over the past several years,
just the same thing, and at least they looked at
it this year and said, we got to shake it up,
(19:20):
get we got to try something different. And look. Jared Smith,
Fox sports radio host, betting analyst, he was on with
us a few weeks ago and he laid out, look, man,
Pittsburgh's schedule is rough. It's why when you see the
stories come out and start to trickle out this week
because everybody's getting ready for training camp and all that,
and you look and you go, oh boy, they're only
(19:41):
favored in six games this upcoming year. Yeah. Yeah. Jared
was pointing that out a couple of weeks ago when
the schedules came out in full, like, yeah, this is
a problem. They're up against it, but at least they're
trying some stuff. But all that stuff that they're trying
(20:02):
is done, is erased and over. If you can't figure
this out with TJ. Watt, and I just don't see
how you reward the guy who's trying to make that
happen with an extension unless you think or are pretty
certain that you're close to that happening. I just don't
see it. So for anybody that's waiting on news or
(20:25):
looking around and saying, well, there's potential trade possibilities for TJ. Watt, Man,
what about this team and that team and top five
trade destinations for TJ. Watt if the Steelers decide to
move on. For everybody looking around at all that stuff,
it's cute, it'll get you through. It's a decent fantasy.
(20:46):
But the answer was given to you in part by
the guy making the decision getting an extension. And you
don't reward a guy like that if he's about to
make a move that would be booed by everyone in
the fan base that doesn't happen, and would be booed
by everybody on the outside of the organization. You're not
(21:06):
rewarding that guy unless you're pretty certain he's going to
be able to get a deal done. So when Omar
Khan got his extension, that told me, listen, man, TJ.
Watt's going to be a stealer by hook er, by crook.
They're going to figure this thing out. He's not going anywhere.

major sporting event somewhere say, and for some reason, I've
never been a part of it. Find out why. Coming
up next year on FSR. But for all the latest
from around the world of sports, we turn it over
(22:12):
to the one, to the only, to the Piccolo pe
of Fox Sports Radio, Your majesty, Sir Isaac Longcron.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Yes, every single report is like a Fourth of July
for the years, Jonas, Happy Fourth of July weekend, do
you and we start naturally?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
By the way, what did you what did you think
of my you know, my pointing out that every year
you're warned about fireworks accidents, and every year there are
fireworks accidents.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
All I can say is pretty amazing. Backup Terry, backup Terry?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Do you know what I'm referring to in the wheelchair?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Backup Terry?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Backup Terry, and yet Trian and yet Fortunately for first
of all, Terry did not appear to be interested or
have the desire to back up, despite his friends or
associates pleading for him to back up. And also, unless
I'm misremembering that video, Terry emerged from that incident completely unscathed,
(23:29):
which is more than I could say for most people. Yeah,
I mean, you just see these and look.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I feel bad for the people that are on the
outside that are seeing this, and all of a sudden
something tilt tips over in points in their direction and
fires one off at them, and then there's an accident
to either kids or people that had nothing to do
with lighting these things off. Feel bad for them. The
other people are idiots. I don't feel the least bit
bad for him. Dude, get it together. Understand what the
(23:57):
warning label is, dummy.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I don't know how it is in your palatial neighborhood,
but down the street we have a big legal fireworks alley.
So we toured it last night, and yeah, we always
made sure to make it in a safe distance. But
I'm not that I'd be terrified to try and set
some of those things off. And some of these people
are having their little kids set them off.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You have a fireworks alley.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
It's a street, but it's essentially a fireworks alley. People
from that we've never seen before, like park up and
down this long narrow road by where we live, and
they just camp out there and they set their fire
It's great. I mean, we just walk up and down
and it's the best free fun. Oh you're just sore
because we didn't invite you this year.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Where do you live, bag Dad? People just lightened off
explosions that wait what.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I'll send you some pictures and videos. You can reach
way into your.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Followers and they're allowed to that's legal. It's yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
I mean I didn't know whether it was legal in
our community. But like, as this was happening, a sheriff's
deputy car just drove slowly down the street seeing all
these people setting off fireworks and didn't stop.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Man, like I said, I don't know how it is
in your you know, gated community with snipers maintaining a
perimeter around the turrets there. But you know, as I
live among the people, it's it's more exciting there.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Anyway, back to you, it's correct. Yeah, I know you
described my residence to a tea.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I've seen things on social media, so from the most
American thing ever to the most.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Shoe box with windchimes.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Oh, come on, that might have been true years ago,
but you're a multi media empire beloved by everyone on
social media.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Keep it coming.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Yes, we'll refresh your mentions in the meantime and see
how that played with your adoring public. So, like I said,
for the most American thing ever to the most British
thing ever, and that would be round three at Wimbledon,
American Ben Shelton taking on Hungary's Martin Fuvich. The second set,
after Shelton took the first set six to three, went
(26:09):
to a tie break, and here's how it ended moments
ago on Radio Wimbledon.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
From Sheltonovich gets a Racket two that's kind.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Of got white, huge role bench Shelton.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
He's two sets to love up here on the number
one court, one hour twenty five on the clock.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
First set six to three and the second seven games
to sixty.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It's those he's to love and anyway.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Shelton right now leaves the third set two games to none,
while seven time champion Novak Djokovic taking on fellow Serbian
Miyamir Katzmanovich and right now Djokovic up two sets to
none and leading the third set four games to one. Earlier,
American Emminavarro divida defending champion Barbora create Shikova two six six,
(26:55):
three six four. Big news just coming down in Major
League Baseball is a short time go. New York Yankees
manager Aaron Boone gave an update on starting pitcher Clark Schmid,
who was placed on the injured list yesterday due to
right four arm soreness.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
He's gonna have to probably have surgery, likely Tommy John surgery.
He's kind of getting second opinions and things now, but
so we'll see, you know, what goes on here in
the next couple of days.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
What was the terror? Is it a UCL terror?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It looks like the UCL. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
One game going on right now at Wrigley Field the
Cubs and Cardinals. No score in the top of the first. Finally,
Jonas now tonight the Mariners are going to be hosting
the Pirates. And in case you and the people out
there missed it, did you hear what happened before the
Mariners Pirates game at T Mobile Park yesterday? Now, all right,
so the stadium's empty, it's the time before the game and.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Suddenly usually empty those teams play.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
All right, it's not like it's the White Sox in
the Rockies, who, by the way, drew forty eight thousand yesterday.
But anyway, before yesterday's game started at T Mobile Park,
a samoan fell out of the sky and landed in
the stands behind the first base dugout. It turned out that,
according to multiple witnesses, they saw a falcon drop the
(28:13):
salmon while the falcon was being chased by an eagle
on the fourth of July above a Major League baseball ballpark.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
On that note back to you now never, I'm never
gonna say it it's good. Well, I'm just wanted did
anybody actually did it? Was it caught or did anybody
like did they go scoop it up? Or yeah, so
they have a videotape.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
It landed like in the first row behind the first
base dugout, and they have video of the salmon plummeting
to the earth behind the first base dugout, and it
came within five feet of hitting some random person who
was standing there. And then the guy picked up the salmon,
which was remarkably intact, considering it just fell a couple
of hundred feet after being dropped and presumably mall by
(29:00):
a falcon who is being chased by an eagle.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Wow, well look, I mean so even the the falcons
can't even hold onto that. Man.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Well, I'm just saying, because that's that's brilliant. So so
you're saying it wasn't Julio Jones back in the day.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Just saying like that was that? Was that the part
two of twenty eight to three. I'm just I'm just wondering, are.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
You Are you going to somehow find a way to
blame this on Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Perhaps, No, Kirks, he makes so much money. Samon's beneath him.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah he's not.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He's not eating salmon. Please, that's way beneath him. Wow. Listen,
look that's uno you. Hopefully who ever picked up the
salmon enjoyed it, take it home and do something with it,
you know, don't don't let it go to waste. Somebody
almost lost their life in the sky trying to trying
to get that dinner. So all right, well that's interesting.
I hadn't heard that story. Thank you, Ilo. By the way,
(30:02):
I did. Something did occur to me yesterday, and we
are going to have another edition of Do You Care
coming up here in about ten minutes from now. Jonas
Knox with you on Fox Sports Radio. Something occurred to
me yesterday. I sit in judgment a lot of Joey
Chestnut because I just you know, it's revolted. The whole
thing's disgusting to me. I don't I just don't get
(30:24):
I don't understand the shoveling food in your mouth for
ten minutes. He did like seventy and a half hot
dogs in ten minutes, which is just disgusting. I mean
that's not even like, how do you tell somebody that's
what you do for a living? Like you imagine the
first date with that guy? Hey, what do you do
for a living? I shove food in my mouth? Oh okay,
check please? But what just there's nothing about it. I
(30:44):
don't I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I actually, wait a minute, on that note. Do we
know his you know, personal relationship status.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I mean, is he married? Does he.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Apparently? Never mind? Sorry, there's some negative he was spoken
for but it didn't work out according to Wikipedia. Oh
what happened? You know, it's personal. It's personal. People break
up all the time, you know, but within the last
decade he was in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Well, I'll just say this, I've actually never watched the
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, And like, it didn't occur
to me until yesterday because as we were finishing up,
we filled it on the Dan Patrick Show, like Ryan
Burschinger and Iowa Sam and lead to Laper like, yeah,
we're about to watch this Nathan hot Dog eating contest.
You want to stick around? No? And then on the
(31:35):
drive home, on the drive home, I realized, Oh, I've
actually never watched it. So I sit here in judgment
of it and I've never actually watched it because I
don't get it. And Isaac and I were talking last
week about the Savannah banana stuff, the craze. It is
the Savannah bananas, which I think they're having another game
this weekend. I think it's sold. It might be maybe
it's Fenway or somewhere like that. And it's the same
(31:55):
thing with the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest. There are
people that watch this thing religiously. There are people that
go to this event for what. For what? By the way,
I'm not making this up.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Do you know who the the play by play or
the chu by chwoo commentator was yesterday?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Who's that? It was?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
The noted respected sports journalist Jeremy Shapp. I kid thee not.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
All the illustrious career of Jeremy Shapp, a guy who
has interviewed a who's who in sports. I used to
listen to Jeremy Shapps. What was the radio show he had?
It was like the equivalent of this, Yeah, the sporting
life I used. Jeremy Shapp is calling the Nathan's Hot
Dog getting contest. They should thank God that somebody like
(32:47):
Jeremy Shapp would grace them with his presence. Agreed. I
would like, I'll bet if you ask Jeremy Shapp, like, hey,
top ten accomplishments the Nathan's Hot Didy hot Dog eating
contest is like two thousand. It's nowhere even near.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
I just would you like to hear we do have
Jeremy Shaff's final call of Chestnuts victory, along with what
I think is trenchant analysis by the analyst.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Do you want to hear it? It's sixteen seconds please
all right, here we go, but we're not going.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
To get to the record. But seventy Big would be
in a remarkable feet watch him here in the last seconds.
Joey's gonna get it in such meat eating too. The
etiquette is just exemptly something to aspire to.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Sounds like Madden in Summer all to me. I can't
do it. I'm sorry, man, but there's feel that love it. Man,
they just love it. I just I don't get the appeal.
I don't like I understand Savannah bananas more than that,
I get that. I just all right, Hey, teach their own,
(33:56):
but not my thing. At the Jonas Knocks on acts

it comes to the evaluations of their team this upcoming season.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time
DMG reports. Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big
stories from the last week. But Jonas, the real question
is do you care?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
Patrick Sweek got to find out what the hell people
have been talking about all week.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Patty, all right, well, Jonas, do you care that the
Dolphins in one of their trades this week they actually traded.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
For a man known as Darren Waller. What was he?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
A tight end?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Jonas?
Speaker 8 (35:48):
He was retired, he now unretired. Do you care about that?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I do, because I think it's all I love here.
The Miami Dolphins are in the midst of and Albert
Breer was on with the this week and he said, well,
you know they're rebuilding. I mean, if we're being honest
about it, the rebuilding and the fact that they traded
away John hus Smith, a guy who wanted to be
in Miami, was trying to get a deal done, a
guy who, oh, by the way, just had the best
(36:15):
season of his career, went to a Pro Bowl, produced
at a high level. They had been talking for months
about trying to get something done. Their solution was to
trade him, along with Jalen Ramsey, for Minka Fitzpatrick. But
don't worry, we'll fix the tight end spot. We're gonna
go ahead and sign some guy who's retired. What I
(36:39):
don't get it. I don't know what the plan is.
But if I was a Dolphins fan, I would not
be optimistic going into next year.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Next all right? Jonas?
Speaker 7 (36:47):
Well, speaking of fishy things, we got the Mariners with
this one. Do you care that newly minted MLB All
Star and Seattle Mariner catcher Cal Rawley, he has a nickname, Jonas,
what's the nickname?
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Big Dumper?
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Care?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
All right? So what is first of all? So is
this basically because the guy's got a big ass?
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Is that what I'm saying? All right? So he's got
a all right, So the guy's got a big ass,
so they call him a big all right. I mean, look,
there's there's worse names out there. I can't think of
anybody any right now, but there's worse nicknames out there.
I will say this. He destroys the ball. He's unbelievable,
and for a guy who just signed a long term deal,
(37:32):
he's probably kicking himself going. Man, if I would have
just waited and then, you know, all of a sudden,
come to the table to ask what they're willing to
offer after this year that he's had, He's on pace
for like seventy home runs this year. He's been unbelievable.
But hey, big Dumper on his way to the All
Star Game because he's got a giant ass.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
Next, when he hits a home run called big. Never mind,
she got great, thank you, thank you?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Out what else we got next?
Speaker 7 (38:05):
So the nix of penned Mike Brown to be their
new head coach after now firing a Tom Thibodeaux.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
Do you care about that?
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Oh yeah, this is I mean, the Knicks keep on
giving love it. I just I love that the Knicks
are like, you know what, we really going to stretch
this whole thing out. We are going to stretch this
entire thing out. We want everybody to know that we
are thinking big. We are thinking huge when it comes
to our next head coach. We're going to go ahead
and hire the guy that we probably could have hired
like a week after the firing. Like literal, it's just
(38:34):
like all all of it was for headlines. All of
it was to try and get everybody interested in the
Knixt job. It's typical clown show circus activity. It never
fails with the Knicks.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Next, all right, jonas well, speaking of a clown show
or a catastrophe, hear me out here. So residents of
a Mexican office breakroom were terrorized in their building. From
what you asked, Jonas, Well, it was a spider monkey.
It was on the loose, andreaking havc. There're the ceilings
(39:05):
of said office building scaring people left and right.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
So did you Yeah, I mean I care about it
because I got like, why would a spider monkey be
in in the break room? Like what happened? Like did
he crawl through? Are they near a zoo? Did somebody
have like a pet spider monkey? Let's go live to
where I have a thought on spider monkeys inside of
Chris propeplis Chris coffee break that's why. Oh the monkey
(39:30):
was on a coffee break. Yeah, he was on a
coffee break. Got everyone's down in the business. What form
that makes sense? By the way, we're not trying to
judge anybody for what they allow in the building because
we've got bats that fly around our studio. Oh yeah,
so there's there's no no judgment being passed along here.
But maybe somebody out of lock the doors there in Mexico.
One was literally flying right over my head one night. Yeah,
(39:52):
it's it's it's bizarre.
Speaker 7 (39:53):
What else we got, all right, Jonas? So a bear
was seen in California California cabin. What else is new
breaking into said cabin where it raided in the fridge
and abruptly left with all the food you care.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And these are great. Look it shows all that bears are,
you know, trying to trying to find their way. They
don't seemingly hurt any human beings. I don't even see
him go after pets or dogs. They're not like coyotes,
who are scumbags. They're not going to eat your cat
or anything. They're just looking for something to eat. They'll
rummage through the cupboard, they'll grab some jiff and maybe
(40:28):
some berries on the way out and whatever. You got
to clean up a little mess, no big deal.
Speaker 7 (40:32):
Next, all right, there was a freeway big rig crash
on the Pennsylvania Highway.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
What was this?
Speaker 8 (40:41):
There was this big spillage. It was mazzarella cheese. Do
you care?
Speaker 7 (40:45):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Yeah, Look, this is unfortunate. Somebody's got to tighten up
a little bit out there. Although I will say this, truckers,
you drive erradically way more than you should. So there's
somebody in the NFL who's missing the point on the
evaluation of their franchise. We'll explain who that is coming
up here in just a couple of moments from now,
(41:07):
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 and
wherever you are making us a part of your Saturday afternoon,
we appreciate you doing so. We are going to take
you all the way up until the end of this
hour four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. We've been
(41:28):
talking a lot about fourth of July Lebron James sending
a tweet out in response to a picture of him
at the Cavs training facility and telling everybody to basically
get a life, and he's right. We've also talked about
how we know what's going to happen in Pittsburgh, or
at least I know the Steelers are going to figure
(41:49):
out how to get something done long term with TJ. Watt,
because you wouldn't reward your GM Omar Khan with a
contract extension unless you are pretty certain that you were
going to get that move done, because without that move,
this off season is a miss. Like without that move,
this off season's a miss. And you could say, well,
you know, they're a stable organization and they've been able
(42:11):
to identify, you know, the defensive side of the ball.
Maybe they can go in a cheaper direction. No, no, No,
they will figure out a way to keep TJ. Watt
in Pittsburgh. He's going to sign a long term deal.
He's going to be there long term. I'm not worried
about that at all. I think a lot of this
stuff is just fluff. Like a lot of this stuff
is just a you know, there's stories and reports out
(42:33):
there that maybe there's some resentment over the previous negotiation. Dude,
there's always resentments. Things are going to happen in negotiations
all the time. This is just part of that process.
This is how this works. And ultimately I think they're
going to get a deal done. And I also am
not sure that Aaron Rodgers would sign up to want
(42:54):
to come back and play for Pittsburgh if he wasn't
also certain that they were going to get a deal
done for JJ Watt. Like I would find that hard
to believe. Like, you're not giving you're not signing Aaron Rodgers,
You're not making these moves, You're not giving omar Con
a contract extension and then turning around and doing this.
It's counter to everything that you've done this offseason. So
(43:15):
to me, maybe a little bit of a spoiler. But
to me, I look at it and I go, it's
a rap. All these things wouldn't have happened just for
you to say no and to move on from TJ.
Watt either trade him or not get a long term
deal done. I just find that hard to believe. It's
not gonna happen. Now. Aaron Rodgers former team, the New
(43:37):
York Jets, they find themselves in a different spot. You've
got Sauce Gardner talking about, you know, the throws by
justin fields and practice and how he's making Aaron Rodgers
type throws. You've got all of this new optimism there,
Aaron Glenn's there. It's a whole new Jets, whole new team.
(43:58):
It's a new era of Jets football. And then you've
got Bryce Hall, who was discussing just sort of where
the team is at recently, this courtesy of the team's
website quote. I think people think the new coaching staff
and new GM means to rebuild, But we have a
lot of really good players on the roster, so we're
(44:18):
trying to win now, and I think a lot of
people from the outside are going to take that for
granted or not realize that we actually have a team.
He's totally missing the point, all right, completely missed the point.
Nobody's questioning whether or not the Jets have talent. That's
(44:42):
really not been in question for quite some time now.
Like they've had good players there, they've had talent there.
Nobody's questioning that.
Speaker 7 (44:56):
Just like.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Having a bunch of nice fern in a house with
a crummy foundation. I mean, what are you supposed to do.
Eventually things are going to fall apart. Get the best
stuff you can fill that room up. Fill that doesn't
matter if the foundation is cracked. Eventually everything's going to
(45:20):
fall apart. So it's not a knock on Jets players.
If anybody's skeptical, if anybody's doubting the Jets' future, if
anybody's doubting whether or not the Jets could be a player,
or the Jets could be you know, some sort of
a thread or pose some sort of an issue for
anybody in the AFC. Nobody's like, it's it's not about
(45:41):
the players, it's about all the stuff around them. Bresol
even made mention of that when he was talking to
Marshawn Lynch on his podcast. He was on with Marshawn
Lynch and Michael Robinson and we look played it last
week and talked about so him, you know, wanting to
be optimistic and say, man, you know some people maybe
(46:01):
take it for granted, but we have a team. It's like, dude,
like there is talent there. That's what's so frustrating about this.
That's also a reason why Rogers went there to begin with,
is because there was talent there. You felt like you
had an opportunity there. The problem is all the other
stuff around it. Like Breeshall said it a week ago, Yeah,
(46:26):
it's hard to win games and stay focused and come
in on you know Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays and
third when like there's all this other chaos. Yeah, and
guess what, the chaos is still there. It's still happening.
So that's why everybody you know is pausing on wanting
(46:49):
to believe in the Jets because they've got a brand
new coach and they've got dude, they've had a lot
of new coaches, they've had a lot of new executives.
There's been a lot of new players, a lot of
new quarterbacks, and not a lot of new stars. They've
they've tried a lot and it hasn't worked because of
everything else around them. So you're watching Aaron Glenn and
(47:14):
all it's like and this is what this is the
part that amazes me about this when it comes to
some organizations going through the hiring process is the people
that want the job. That's the like, that's the part
that it made because I understand listen, man, there's only
(47:34):
thirty two of these things are there's only thirty two jobs.
You get an opportunity, you got to take that job.
It's like, okay, you know, like Mike Brown takes the
next job. Like Mike Brown Coach of the Year twice.
It's got pretty good pedigree, pretty good resume. Came from
the Warriors staff, won titles. There came from the Spurs
(47:57):
like this, like he's been around, but he's been around
stable organizations and still signed up for that. Why, I
just I don't why. Aaron Glenn I believe was going
to get an opportunity to be a coach, Like at
(48:21):
some point he was going to get an opportunity. He
believes this was going to be his spot. Okay, Mike
Brown wants to get back in the game, wants to
go coach, all right, And I understand, Look, there's only
thirty of these, or there's only thirty two of these,
and you got to take the opportunity when you get it.
But man, the people that willingly run to that always
(48:47):
kind of surprise me, because you've got decades worth of
evidence that it's a circus. Like I hope Dave Canalis
is given time in Carolina. I hope he's given a
real opportunity. But good luck, man, it's David Tepper. He
played nice for a year. David Tepper played nice for
(49:08):
a year. He didn't meddle in anything for a year,
but he did it the year before that. He did
it the year before that. Like, good luck. I hope
it works out for Dave Canalis. I thought they made
improvements last year. Bryce Young looked significantly improved last year.
And everything you hear about Dave Canalis is great, dude,
great dude. I hope it works out. But damn, when
(49:31):
you took the gig, you had to have known, all right,
this this could could go sideways quick. Like I was
happy for Demico Ryans when he got to Houston and
they won games and C. J. Stroud looked the way
that he looked. And you know, they've been to the
playoffs a couple of years because they were one and
done on coaches for a while. But like you know,
(49:54):
Breese Hall's talking about yeah, you know, just you know,
we've got a team, dude. Nobody's nobody's questioning the furniture.
They're questioning the foundation. It's not about that. But yet
there's people that sign up for those gigs all the time.
And I made this point talking earlier this week. It's
like the people who have who received like serial killers
(50:15):
who have love letters sent to them. There's these women
who like come from all over the country that want
like I could change them, Like listen, I know it's
been rough, but I can change them like that, Like
some of them get married. The night stalker I think
had a wife in somehow they got married through the
(50:36):
prison bars, Like I could change them. I can find
people like that. I think they can change them. It's like, no,
the ending is going to be the same as it
is for everybody else. Tied up in the trunk of
a car and it ditched somewhere. That's how this goes.
There is no other way. That's how it always goes.
(50:57):
So like hear Breis Hall or you're like a fan
basically like, oh well, people are just too negative about
our organizations, like no, man, we've like how much more
evidence do you need? Like we've seen it, and yet
there's somebody who's always willingly there to take it, like
like wants to sign up for Like oh yeah, well
I could turn things around here. Okay, So man, good
(51:19):
luck to Aaron Glenn, good luck to Mike Brown, good
luck in near two, to Dave Canalis, good luck. But
if people are doubting your team or skeptical about your
team going into a season, or when they make a move,
or when it's got nothing really to do with the
people inside the building, it's the people on the outside
(51:42):
of the building that's the problem. At the Jonas Knox
on X at the Jonas Knox on X and you
can hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app.
You can also get us on the Instagram page as
well too at Jonas Knock Show coming up next here, though,
we are going to tell you how there's people in
sports you might even be one of them who are
(52:03):
just finding out about something that's been here for a
long time and it's got scandal written all over it.
Find out what it is next. The Jonas knock Show
shouldn't be warning people about fireworks and blowing digits off.
It should be warning listeners that Jonas inhales more Lebron
(52:23):
James and Aaron Rodgers Glizzies than Joey's Chestnut at the
Jonas Knox on X. You can also find us on
Instagram at Jonas knock Show. Both those are rude, if
I do say so myself, both of those were extremely rude,
but part for the course. Here on a Saturday afternoon.
Now there is something that is happening this and I
(52:50):
just I kind of get a kick out of this.
So when you see the stuff popped up that with
Luis Ortiz of the Cleveland Guardian, you see like the
gambling allegations that pop up to where you know, people
are trying to figure out like, well, you know, like
what are we talking about as far as details on
(53:10):
the gambling and what he did, and then you know,
according to sources, there was action on Ortiza's first pitches
and select innings to be a ball or a hit
batsman in a couple of games. So people are betting
on individual pitches in these games a significant amount of money,
so much so that it flagged it. There was a
(53:32):
betting integrity site that spotted it and said, all right, well,
this is this is odd. We need to take a
look at this. You guys have got to do something
about it. So you see that, you see the Malik
Beasley stuff where there was a prop bet on his
rebounds that sort of flagged some people going hey, maybe
(53:53):
maybe we should investigate this a little further as well too,
that we should look into this. And then you obviously
know the Johntay Porter stuff and all these other scandals
and stuff that have come out when it comes to gambling.
All these things that have happened people have been really
really surprised by. And those people are the people that
(54:14):
have never been around the gambling world or have been
around this stuff at all. I have not been surprised
by the incidents of players getting popped because I've either
known or been around sports betters for probably twenty plus years.
(54:34):
My first email address I ever got, the only reason
I signed up for an email account back then was
because you needed one if you wanted to keep up
with how betting lines were going, like if you wanted
to look at different betting lines and whatnot. Like I
needed an email address to have that. That's the only
reason I got an email. I don't even think I
(54:56):
used it to send emails, but I needed one to
set up an account be able to look at that stuff.
That's why I got it. Like you stayed, you know,
up to speed onlines, points, spreads, over unders, props, et cetera.
Like all like bad beats. Oh my god, I've got
that and stories for days about bad beats. I can
(55:16):
remember betting on a Calves magic game while I was
a busboy at TGI Fridays, and I remember I had
a parlay. I had the Calves plus two and a
half in Orlando, and I had the under of two
to one and a half and Cleveland had a one
(55:39):
hundred to ninety seven lead. I was sitting pretty until
Tracy McGrady threw up a three missed but got fouled,
hit all three free throws and it went into overtime.
So I lost the bet. And you're thinking, what, Well,
because it was a parlay, I needed the under to
hit I needed Cleveland in the under. So because it
(55:59):
went dover time, it hit the over, it lost the bet.
I work that entire shift and then the next night
for free. Oh I've got bad beats to all that
stuff for you. So, when you've been involved with or
known people from that world, you know the highs, you
know the lows, and you also know to come to
(56:20):
find out, there are some scumbags in that world, and
there are also people who are willing to partake in
scumbaggery even if it cost him everything. That's real. You
look at these athletes that are getting popped for this
stuff and you go, oh my god, why would you
(56:40):
risk it all?
Speaker 8 (56:41):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (56:41):
That's that world. You get hooked on it, you lose
a bet, you start chasing next thing, you know, you're
a ton of debt and you're trying to get out
of it, or somebody throws you a few bucks to
try and help you. That's that world, and that world
was brought in to professional sports. So while everybody's out
(57:03):
look at this going oh my gosh, no, no, this is
what could potentially happen. And if you didn't know that,
it's because you'd never been around it before. So when
this stuff pops up, I don't. I'm not surprised or
stunned by It's like, oh, of course, did you think
that there was going to be some other result? Like
(57:24):
did you think everything was going to be squeaky clean?
You were just going to make a bunch of money
from these gambling sites. It was going to infiltrate a
bunch of cash, like like put a bunch of cash
back into the system, into the machine, so to speak,
and there were going to be no issues whatsoever. Is
that how you thought this worked. It doesn't work that way.
There are scumbags in every industry, specifically in that one.
(57:47):
There are things that are going to go sideways when
you have money, and people that do bad things with
money Like this, this was always a possibility. Yes, guys
were going to risk it all on a pitch, whether
it was an outside pitch or a hit batsman or
a ball or a straight Yes, they were going to
(58:09):
do that. Yes, they were going to potentially sabotage their
career so they hit over two and a half rebounds
or under two and a half, Yes, that was going
to happen. That's put like, this is the risk. I
got news for you. You put a cup of draino on
the kitchen table and walk away for ten minutes. At
(58:30):
that point, it's a role that dies, whether or not
you're rushing your kid to the er later that day.
I'm sorry, that's the risk that comes along with this stuff.
It's like the fireworks explosions. Oh my god, I can't believe.
Like guy's house caught on fire and he'd lost half
an armed Oh you think, no, no kidding, Like when
(58:55):
this stuff pops up, I'm not surprised at all. Do
you think it's this is gonna stop happening. Do you
think we're never gonna hear another story about a guy
sabotaging his career for gambling? Really you think you think
this is it? Like we've just we've reached the ceiling.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, We've
only scratched the surface. This is going to continue to happen.
(59:17):
And I'd also say this for people that say, well,
you shouldn't have just you shouldn't have let it in
the sport at all. No, no, no, that's not just
because somebody gets stabbed doesn't mean you stop selling knives
just because somebody beats their neighbor to death with a hammer.
Doesn't mean you close down ace hardware like, it doesn't
(59:41):
work that way. You You are giving players the ability
if they choose to jeopardize their career. Some are going
to do it, most aren't. But this doesn't mean that
you just get rid of it from sort well, I mean,
if you're gonna take all this money, I mean, what
do you expect? No, you you, I expect that players
(01:00:01):
are going to look at this and make the right decision.
But some people can have a hammer and use it
to build something, and then some people can have a
hammer and use it to break something. And some of
these players have chosen this. When this stuff pops up
and people are looking at the details of it, like
the oh he's betting on rebounds and pitch, I mean
this whole wait, how did dobody think this through? No,
(01:00:26):
you just didn't think it through. This was always a possibility.
It doesn't mean you get rid of them all, you
get rid of every gambling affiliation with every sport or whatever. No,
you don't do that. You just understand this is what
could happen. This is what could happen. There are some
people that are going to make mistakes and some people
are not going to handle this the right way. This
(01:00:47):
is what could happen. And if you've been around this
stuff for as long as I have, you've got stories
or know of situations for days. Man, there's been stuff
thrown out there for years about athletes betting or potentially
being involved in There was a rumor out years and
years and years ago that Mike Dicka had a prop
(01:01:09):
bet on the fridge to score a touchdown in the
Super Bowl and that's the reason he gave him the
ball and not Walter Payton, which is what led to
Walter Payton being upset. That was a rumor years ago.
Who knows if it's true. It's probably not true. But
there's been rumors about this stuff for years. So if
you are appalled or taken aback by the fact that,
(01:01:33):
oh my god, that people are behaving this way, well, yeah,
that's what happens in this Like sometimes this happens. Sometimes
you leave something on the table and something goes wrong,
So you can either not leave it on the table
or not be so surprised when something crazy happens. So
(01:01:54):
when something crazy happens here and you see people getting
popped for gambling and you see, I'm not surprised at all,
and I think it's going to continue to happen. Like
they're going to investigate stuff like this, it will pop
up again. That's how this works. It's like peds. Oh
we're testing now, we're testing now, how come people are
(01:02:15):
still pissing hot? You're never going to get rid of
it all the way. It's always going to be here.
You just can't be surprised when it happens at the
Jonas Knocks on X, at the Jonas Knox on X
and you can get us on Instagram as well too
at Jonas Knox show up next though, we have a
literal no win situation in the world of sports. That
(01:02:36):
will be yours here on FSR. But for all the
latest from around the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen.
A man who is sent over video evidence of the
fireworks spectacle of the Lowen Crowns, which.
Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
I would say, Oh, what did you just say the
Loan Crowns.
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Yeah, you know you said Lowen Krans.
Speaker 6 (01:02:59):
Right, Oh you said Loan Kran Not really, We've gotten
you in four k okay, that's fine what you called
him Djokovic earlier too, so we're even out. He calls
himself Djokovic, But then why did you call him Djokovic afterwards?
Perhaps I mispronounce it, but the accurate, the accurate pronunciation
is Djokovic.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Okay, can I can I present you in the way
that I want to present you?
Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
And we do this all keep asking me permission to
do stuff? You interrupted. You're the one who station let
me do the presentation.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Fine, fine, ladies and gentlemen, We turn it over to
a man who demands your respect, and if he doesn't
get it, he'll bring you out back behind fireworks alleys
and lights you up. He's the one and only Isaac
long Craft. I'm sorry I snapped at you, Jonas.
Speaker 6 (01:03:57):
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
I'm pretty impressive. So this I saw the video. Yeah,
isn't that cool? It's also not legal. I don't know
where you're from. I don't know how anybody would think
that I.
Speaker 6 (01:04:10):
Meet a sheriff's vehicle drove at like fifteen miles an
hour down the street taking it all in.
Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
It's all I'm saying. Okay, for me, did not have
a problem with it, all right, Listen, I just hope
everybody was safe. That's allook.
Speaker 6 (01:04:27):
Everybody was Thank goodness, there were a couple of close
calls there. So that's an Independence Day weekend tradition and
what could be better than a day game at Wrigley
Feel between the Cardinals and the Cubs. Right now, the
Cardinals have a three to one lead over the Cubs
as they go to the bottom of the fourth inning.
Saint Louis taking the lead a short time ago, adding
to it on a home run by Nolan Gorman is
(01:04:49):
twenty six to out of the season. The Cubs run
coming on a home run by Michael Bush after he
had three home runs in their victory yesterday. Bush now
with eighteen home runs on the seat. The Tampa Bay
Rays up to one at Minnesota going to the bottom
of the fourth inning. Angels and Blue Jays tied at
one in the bottom of the second inning at Toronto.
Off the field, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone today
(01:05:11):
gave an update on starting pitcher Clark Schmid, who was
placed on the injured list yesterday due to right forearm soreness.
Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
He's gonna have to probably have surgery, likely Tommy John surgery.
He's kind of getting second opinions and things now, but
so we'll see, you know, what goes on here in
the next couple of days.
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
What was the terror or is it a UCL terror?
Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
It looks like the UCL. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
Meanwhile, in round three at Wimbledon today, seven time champion
Novak Djokovic swept fellow Serbian Miyamir Katzmanovitch. American Ben Shelton,
in his third round match swept Hungary's Martin Foodshovich. By
the way, Jonas, are you familiar with this guy, Ben Shelton.
He's American tennis player, like Atlanta or somewhere like that. Okay,
(01:05:58):
so you might have to google this because is it me?
Or is Ben Shelton a dead ringer for Jackson Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Oh god, you're right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
I mean once you see it, you can't Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
Man, wow, did he just drop in the rankings since
you pointed that out? Literally literally? Yeah, he looks just
like what's Jackson Mahomes been up to?
Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
Thankfully not batch it appears unless he you know, what
he should do full time, unless he changed his identity
and became a champion tennis player.
Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
You know what Jackson Mahomes should do full time? What's
that he should be? His dad's designated driver.
Speaker 6 (01:06:42):
Well, I'll keeping employee. Wow, you know, I mean, no
family is perfect. We all have our you know, we
all have our issues. We're caught up in an illegal
fireworks neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
I don't know how you think that's lee so bizarre,
Like you've got to see. I wish you would post
the video of this. You'd get arrested if you post
the video of this. I had nothing to do with that.
I'll tell you what I did, literally showing fireworks litten
in an alley near his house. That is so illegal
you can't even believe it. I'll tell you what. I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
I give you permission to post it on your various
social media account. I don't okay, it's just we have
I'm not trying to be rude here, but you and
I have different social media audiences. Mine is you know, classy,
respectful and appreciative, and yours kind of difference. Yeah, that's
(01:07:37):
what I was gonna say. Anyway. Earlier, American Emminavarrow defeated
defending champion Barbora krai Chikova two six sixty three sixty four. However,
American Danielle Collins defeated by eight seed Ega Schiantek.
Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Finally in the NBA.
Speaker 6 (01:07:50):
S n Y Television reported a short time ago the
incoming New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown's contract is
for four years and forty million dollars. Jonas, back to you,
and again, I apologize for snapping at you earlier.
Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
No, listen, I've heard worse. You've seen worse than your mentions. Yeah,
it's called marriage. Trust me, I have been through worse. Oh,
thank you, Ilo. Yeah, it is Jonas Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio. By the way, we're going to close
up shop with the scraps here in about ten minutes
from now. Those are things in the world of sports
and beyond we have not had a chance to get
(01:08:25):
to that will be yours here. I didn't want to
mention this because this was a no win situation for
anybody involved. So last night, for fourth of July, the
Houston Astros annihilated the Los Angeles Dodgers eighteen to one.
I mean, they destroyed the LA Dodgers. Worst loss by
(01:08:50):
the Dodgers in the history of that stadium, never seen
it before. And what's great about baseball, and especially baseball
involving these two organisations when they play each other.
Speaker 7 (01:09:02):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Literally nobody won. Nobody won because the Dodgers are fine. Yeah, whatever,
we got our ass, What big deal? They're fine. Still
the best team in baseball is still probably gonna win
a World Series. Big deal. The Astros beating the Dodgers
will never count because no matter what they do, they'll
(01:09:28):
never rid themselves of the stain that goes along with
the sign stealing scandal that they were part of against
the Dodgers. All of it is Nolan void, like Jose
Al two, vacnate his mini home runs at Dodger Stadium
for the rest of his career. Nobody cares. Doesn't matter,
(01:09:48):
Lance McCullers, you can have as many quality starts against
the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium the rest of your career.
Nobody cares. And those are the only two left from
that twenty seventeen team. But anybody else with the Astros
like new Astros, Isa Pretty's Cam Smith, like new Astro
(01:10:11):
like no, you're all here too, like you, None of
that counted. None of it counts because nobody's ever gonna
get over that. Nobody's gonna ever gonna And if you're
an Astros fan, and you're going, well, man, you know
it's been so long and nobody's there anymore, and it's
a brand new team and we won a World Series.
Totally credit deserved a congratulations all as well. The problem is,
(01:10:37):
we all know what happened, we all saw what happened,
and anytime that team plays in Dodger Stadium, it's a
waste of time if you win, because it'll never count.
It's never gonna count because in the eyes of everybody
there that sees these two teams matched up for the
rest of time, are immediately going to go back to
that series and that scandal and what happened. So congratulations
(01:11:02):
on an eighteen to one win, and congratulations on an
eighteen to one win that didn't count, and we'll never
count based on previous actions. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports

But right now it is time to close up shop
with a Saturday tradition we do called.
Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
This, Jonas, how could you not get to these stories?
Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Morons? Are there scraps? All right? Patrick sweeko, what are
we looking at today? All right?
Speaker 8 (01:12:15):
Jonas?
Speaker 7 (01:12:16):
Well, this one was from the Due Cares, but I
got one for you here. So there's an annual race
at a horse track where racing obviously is done. But
here's the thing, Jonas, it's not by horses. It's my
weirdos in inflatable t rex costumes that are just running
around drunkenly and stupidly. Just yeah, annual by the way, Okay,
(01:12:37):
so they dress is it like, uh so, just inflatable
t Rex costume, like those costumes you'll see with those,
like t Rex is running around looking kind of silly
when they run like those big inflame is it?
Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
By the way, isn't there like a h a new
Jurassic Park that's out or something like that. Yeah, this
has nothing to do with that. This is just people
running around the t Rex costumes just for the hell
of it.
Speaker 7 (01:13:00):
Yeah, apparently they just did it. The last one was
I believe twenty twenty one. They had to stop for
a couple of years and now they brought it back
and it's at a horse track. It is.
Speaker 8 (01:13:10):
I literally saw pictures of it.
Speaker 7 (01:13:12):
It's at a so you know how it's like the
jockeys like in the door thing they go and they're off.
Speaker 8 (01:13:16):
That is exactly what it was.
Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
Can you bet on it? May easy, but seriously, if
it's at a horse for people that don't know, then
I'll sit just from personal experience. As we keep with
the gambling theme here, shout out to all my fellow
flunky degenerate gamblers who are losing their careers in sports
because they're betting on their own games. Like if you
go to say, Santa need a racetrack. Beautiful place out
(01:13:41):
here in southern California, in Arcadia. If you go to
Santa I need it. Even when there's not live racing
going on, you can bet on events. But when there's
live racing going on, you can bet on those events.
So that's a live race. Why wouldn't you be able
to bet on it at a horse? I mean seems
(01:14:03):
to me that would be that would be something to
look into. If that's the case, I think you know.
I'm in. I'm in. If somebody wants to gamble on
some t rex is running around in circles because they're losers,
that's fine, We'll go ahead and bet on them. What
else we got, Patty? All right?
Speaker 8 (01:14:15):
Well, another one we have going on.
Speaker 7 (01:14:17):
Some former Bengals former Dolphins safety Rashad Jones had about
two and a half million stolen from a former financial
advisor that had access to his funds and it was
pretty much a big money laundering scam going from twenty
nineteen up till about twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
These people are such scumbags, like anybody who gets a
hold of somebody else's account because of trust and like, hey,
this is my job you can trust me with your money.
I'll take care of you. I'll make sure your fortune
is intact. And you end up just rifling through their
(01:14:57):
all their earnings and all their spendings behind their back,
Like they put their trust in you and you just
ruin them financially for life because you're a dirt bag.
I just I don't. I can understand doing some underhanded things.
I could understand maybe cutting somebody off in traffic. I
could understand maybe running a red light. I could understand, Like,
(01:15:19):
there's certain things that I could understand. You know, you
see a hundred bucks lying on the ground and nobody's around,
you pick it up and go sweet Like I can
understand things like that willingly and knowingly robbing somebody and
doing it based on the illusion that you should be trusted.
I'll never understand it. That guy's a scumbag. He should
(01:15:39):
go away for a long time.
Speaker 7 (01:15:41):
What else we got well, actually, prior to even that, Jonas,
before I jump into that, it wasn't just oh stealing
it for whatever, it was to continue living a lavish lifestyle,
going to the strip club and even paying for child support.
And it's just like it was all the wrong, wrong, reasons.
Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
But as long as it was for going to the
strip club, everything's fine. Yeah, then I understand the motives
like Magic City, I get it. I understand. Yeah, it's
not like he's just taking that money and keeping it
for himself. You know how many women were able to, uh,
you know, enjoy their weekend that weekend because that guy
had and so so it had to come at the
cost of somebody else's earnings. It's fine. Cool now that
(01:16:21):
I know that, it kind of changed the way people look.
I'd hire him, to be honest with you.
Speaker 8 (01:16:26):
Fair fair point.
Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Well what else we got?
Speaker 7 (01:16:28):
So fourth of July obviously was yesterday, So with that,
we got one for you here. So Jason Pierre Paul.
We all know Jason Pierpop, former NFL edge rusher. So
remember the incident he had. He was one of the
back in the day, the dummies that held a you know,
lud off his hand yep. So he reflects on his accident,
and he recently reflected on the and made a claim
(01:16:50):
that he wants to jump back into the NFL. He
didn't play last year, he was out and he's also
thirty six years old, but he wants to make a return.
Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
He's still had a pretty remarkable career post injury. When
that was if you saw the like the unedited pictures
like the that came out, I mean, that was nasty,
and he still had a pretty solid career after that,
even with all that stuff going on. I mean, whether
or not he gets back into the NFL, I mean,
(01:17:20):
who the hell knows, but uh, to do what he
did following that accident and what happened. And by the way,
when was that happen, like twenty fourteen, twenty third like
something like that, Like.
Speaker 8 (01:17:33):
Yeah, he was like it was about ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Yeah, Like he he ended up having a pretty decent
run in the NFL after all that. I mean, And
if I'm not missaying, I think he was on that
Super Bowl team with the Bucks. He was, Yeah, he
won the Super Bowl the Bucks afterwards, But yeah, that
was just a wild time. And I remember the coverage
of that and Adam Schefter releasing the hospital photos and
(01:17:56):
Jason Pierre Paul getting pissed about it. But I just,
I mean, I'll just say this, I heard a story
during the break that my mind is racing right now,
and I've seen the evidence, and I'll just you know,
I feel like somebody was holding out on us because
I didn't realize that Martin Weiss went to grade school
(01:18:20):
with the guy from Vanilla Sky like I had no idea,
But apparently apparently Martin grew up with some wild times
man like he had some wild classmates. O'bviously say that
because their fourth July looked a lot different than mine.
My fourth of July was spent trying to figure out
(01:18:41):
whether or not I was going to be able to
butcher the s'mores recipe, and they were sitting there, fall
asleep on candles.
Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
I showed this son of a bitch,
I have had better stock from beginning. Jonas Knocks, you
thought you knew me.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You didn't know anything about me. He's crazier than air else.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Wrapped that guy, Jonas Knocks, you heard me bring in
some darkness?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Is lighting up your speakers to establish an alibi for
the day. No Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Here's Jonas Knox.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yep, Okay, I'm a part of this.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
World starting to get a little desperate. They are starting
to get a little desperate. We've got the proof. We'll
(00:54):
get into that for you coming up here in just
a couple of moments. From now, Jonas Knocks, 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 and wherever you are making us
a part of your Saturday morning into the afternoon. We
appreciate you doing so. We are going to take you
(01:15):
all the way up until four pm Eastern time, one
o'clock Pacific. It is the post fourth of July edition
here on FSR. And I'll give people credit. Like I
could admire an active defiance, I could admire somebody telling
(01:35):
you don't do this, don't do that, and still pushing
through because there's gonna be a lot of naysayers in
your life. There's gonna be a lot of people that
are gonna tell you can't accomplish something, you can't reach
your goals, you can't do this, you're not capable of that,
you're not built for this, you're not set up for
There's all sorts of people trying to tell you what
you can't do and what you shouldn't do right, And
(01:57):
we've got some brave individuals who have decided, you know what,
despite all that, I'm still gonna push through. I'm gonna persevere.
And those brave individuals are the people that continue to
suffer injuries trying to light off their own fireworks. Congratulations everybody, Hey, congratulations,
nice work, Nice work. They keep telling you, hey, you
(02:25):
keep that up. You're gonna walk around with fingers like
a ninja turtle for the rest of your life. But no,
you can't help yourselves. Can't help it, cannot help it.
It never fails. You go on post fourth of July
and TMZ's got footage of all these fireworks accidents and
(02:45):
explosions and all It's like, oh, by God, what a tragedy.
Correct also a bit of a warning going into it,
Like most of these places, fireworks aren't even legal if
people get a hold of them and are like, you
know what, why don't we just go ahead and see
(03:06):
what this does. Let's tie them all together, let's light
them all up at the same time, or if you
don't want to do that, just put some in the
general vicinity that might catch on fire and also explode,
and then just go from there. Like part of me
kind of admires it. I look at it, I go,
you know what, like all the warning signs, everybody telling
you you can't do this, you shouldn't do that, this
(03:27):
is a bad idea. I wouldn't do that if I
were you, and still just push right on through, right
on through. It's amazing. It's like the people at the zoo, like, hey,
whatever you do, don't reach your hand inside the cage.
Clear as day could not be anymore clear. Do not
reach your hand inside the cage. And all of a sudden,
(03:49):
everybody goes into a panic because for some reason, a
tiger or an orangutang or something gets a hold of
somebody and just starts ripping flesh from their body. But still,
while you focus on the tragedy, I look at it
and I go, yeah, but you know what, how about
the fact that that rocket scientist decided, Hey, forget all
(04:12):
the warnings. I'm gonna go ahead and go rogue here.
Let me figure this whole thing out of my own
I know better than you. Yeah, good move. Every year,
never failed. It's amazing. I keep thinking, not enough, we've
had enough. People have learned that. No, absolutely not. Just
go Google, Just do yourself a favor. Go to X
(04:34):
or Google or rock and just type in most recent
fireworks accidents. Oh my god, page upon page upon page.
It's brilliant. So congratulations your active defiance. Hope it was
worth it. I hope it was worth it. I hope
it was worth walking around whatever it is you call that,
hanging off the end of your wrist for the rest
(04:56):
of your life. I hope. I hope. Hey, dude, you
gotta do Jonas Knox here, Fox Sports Radio. All right,
So I did see something that came out yesterday while
you guys were busy blowing off limbs, trying to set
off Piccolo Pete's and Roman candles in the driveway of
(05:16):
some neighbor, you don't like I did see this. So
Lebron James a picture of him was posted of him
working out at the Calves training facility, and so some
people started speculating and all that stuff, and Lebron simply
responded with something along the lines of man, I train
(05:37):
here every summer. Are you guys all really that bored?
Go get another plate of food. Now, Lebron is guilty
of wanting attention, constantly stirring it up, constantly, needing to
be the center of attention. We all know that we
can all agree on that, even people who love Lebron,
(05:57):
you'd have to agree on that. Here's what Elso it's
about this. This right here is NBA coverage at a
desperate rate, at a desperate state, and at a desperate level.
Because the NBA coverage is starting to figure out that
(06:19):
the end is near for Lebron James. And once he's gone,
what are you going to talk about? Really? What are
you going to talk about? Jonas Valentiunis or whatever his
name is, wanting to go play in Finland or somewhere
like ooh, I'd rather go to what is there?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
This is?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Like people always say, oh, Lebron, this Lebron, that there's
more of the NBA in Lebron. There's more of the
NBA than Lebron's team. Okay, let's talk about him. You
go first, Hey, Chet Holmgren had a cheeseburger sweet? Anybody else? Mmmm?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, there's there is nothing else. And I think people
in the NBA, and you could look, Lebron is guilty
of all sorts of stuff, and you could find fault
in a lot of the way he handles himself and
the way he handles the media and the attention he
needs and all of this stuff and the moving around
and you know, the vague comments and you know, allegedly
(07:29):
reading just the first page of a book just to
make it look like he is reading like all like
whatever you want to say, that's fine, that's fine. But
there is this thing that people have sort of banked
on and leaned on and depended on, and it's him.
(07:50):
And once that's gone, and it's sooner rather than later,
and it could be after this year, who knows, it
could be this summer. Once that happens, what do you got.
You have milked that so dry that nothing else has
(08:11):
been fed or watered nothing else has been looked after. Nothing, nothing.
And so if you like basketball and you just want
to watch good basketball, this recent NBA Finals was great.
I enjoyed it. Great series, a couple of teams that
(08:32):
don't really have like a marquee star even though they're
trying to push it on you and try and force
it onto I was. I liked it. It was fun.
In fact, you had some good series, exciting finishes. I
thought it was fun Like this NBA Playoffs. I thought
it was fun. But then you start looking at the
ratings and all that, and you start to looking at say,
oh my god, the numbers are down. What do we
(08:53):
do here? What do we Well? You handle this like
you should have handled it years ago. How about you
like try and push somebody other than just one guy?
How about that? How about that? But the NBA is
so top have you with its coverage that if it's
not Lebron And if you think I'm crazy, if you
think this is just made up straw man, fake think
(09:16):
so do this put on any daytime sports TV debate
show or whatever you want to call it. Put it on,
and when an NBA topic comes up on the screen,
don't even listen. To the sound, Is it or is
it not? Ninety percent of the time about Lebron James
or something in relation to Lebron James. That's a fact.
(09:42):
Look at the chirons, which are the little boxes that
have the graphics, and ask how many of those hypothetical
questions are about anybody other than Lebron James in the NBA.
Out of one hundred, what will you say, five? Ten?
Maybe the coverage of the league is entirely about one guy.
(10:07):
He's working out at a place he lives at in
the off season. People start running with it, and he's saying, dude,
I'm here every off season, Go get another plate of food.
In this sense, in this sense, he's right. Is he
part of this? Is he part of the problem? Did
he cause a lot of this? Yes, he's guilty of
that as well too. But I think people in the
(10:31):
NBA who cover the NBA, people who who love to
discuss NBA, who love to discuss, you know, all the
because they think it's a bigger deal than it actually.
I think people are starting to come to the realization that,
hey man, this old thing's winding down pretty quick.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Here.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
We uh might have a little bit of an issue.
It's like somebody who has a shoe box full of
cash under their bed and every time they want to
pay for something, they just reach in and grab a
few more, and grab a few more, and they grab
a few more. Hey, ice creamman's down the street. Hey,
buy everybody on the block something. See, they grab a
few more, grab a few. Hey making a beer on
(11:08):
No problem, grab a few more, grab a few more. Hey,
uber eats. Anybody want anything? Nah, just go to the
drive through. Here's a few more. And then you reach
in there and all of a sudden you realize, oh god,
there's one left. Uh oh, probably should have maybe invested
in some other things instead of just grabbing and going.
And that's all people have been doing about the NBA
(11:29):
with Lebron, just grabbing whatever headline they could, and soon,
very soon, he ain't gonna be there anymore. So you
better get used to the reality of we gotta start
pushing something else, or maybe looking at somebody else's tweets
or workout videos to try and pull some headlines, because
(11:51):
this whole thing is running dry quick. At the Jonas

Or wherever you get your podcast. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up, we'll call it a little over ten minutes
from now. Something during the Fourth of July festivities occurred
to me, something that I've actually never done, kind of
surprising yet many people in sports, including yourself, all partake.
(13:45):
We will get into that for you again coming up
here a little over ten minutes from now. So there's
been some stuff that's come out of Pittsburgh over the
past several days in regard to the Steelers who made
the big time trade over you know a few days
ago where they acquired Jalen Ramsey and John hus Smith.
They traded away micka Fitzpatricks and pick swaps whatever, and
(14:08):
so you look at that deal, then you look at
you hear some of the reports about the TJ. Watt contract.
A D. D. Kikwalla was on the fan in Pittsburgh
and was talking about how, you know, maybe there's some
resentment that still holds over from the last negotiations because
the Steelers said something along the lines of, you know,
(14:29):
you're lucky to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and he said,
you're lucky to have me and all that like, and
who knows whether or not that's legit adity reported on it,
and you know, you take it for what it's worth.
I have no idea. I don't know who her sources are.
But there's just you know, you're hearing these different stories
that are coming out of Pittsburgh and all of that,
and and the big question, you know, comes down to,
(14:52):
all right, why are they going to get a t J.
Watt deal done? And then they go out and announce
a contract extension for their general manager a couple of
days ago. So Omar Khn gets a three year contract extension.
So let me ask you this, Why the hell would
you give your GM a three year contract extension if
(15:13):
you weren't pretty certain that you were going to get
things worked out with TJ.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Watt?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Know what I mean. He's like, everyone's wondering, like, hey man,
what's gonna happen with the TJ. Watt stuff? Do you
think they're gonna get that? Right? There? Told me, yeah,
something's gonna get done. I don't I don't care about
these the report about, well, maybe there's some resentment over
the last negotiation, All right, what man, There's resentment during
(15:40):
every negotiation because one side's trying to tell you what
you're worth. You're trying to counter and they're going to
try and come up with evidence to show you why
you don't deserve what you're looking for. Derek Jeter had
resentment his final contract negotiation with the Yankees. I don't
see anybody talking about that. I don't see whenever Derek
(16:03):
Jeter goes back to New York, I don't hear any
of that stuff come up.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's just he's an all time great Yankee and we
were lucky to have him. So whatever resentment there was,
whatever the Steelers gave you a tell, the tell was
giving omark on that three year extension meant that we're
not going to lose TJ. Watt. And I say that
(16:28):
because if something were to happen and you were to
lose TJ. Watt, it undoes everything you did this offseason.
I don't want to hear about Aaron Rodgers. I don't
want to hear about dk metcalf. I don't want to
hear about Jalen Ramsey. I don't want to hear about
John Newsmith. I don't want to hear about any of
(16:50):
that stuff. If all of that culminates in you losing
TJ Watt, trading him whatever, like, you know, the relationship
is fractured, he doesn't want to be there. That erases
all of the good you did this offseason. So why
(17:10):
would you give the guy who's trying to get that
done an extension and further job security if you weren't
entirely sure that he was going to be able to
get a deal done with TJ Watt. It just doesn't
make sense. So when I see that, I'm looking at
all these reports and I'm you know, going through stuff
(17:32):
before the show, and I'm seeing all these various reports
and people talking about trade candidates and trade scenarios and
where TJ walking out. Dude, he's not going anywhere. It
was a long shot for him to be traded to
begin with. But people have looked at it and said, well,
you know, his age, and maybe you know the last negotiation,
(17:53):
and you know, maybe he's you know, not on the
same page with the organization. No TJ. Watt is in
the final year of deal that he signed, and that
was a deal that was signed years before Miles Garrett
decided to get forty million dollars a year. So he's
looking to get paid and he should get paid. Guy's
going to be a Hall of Famer. He's been everything
(18:15):
you wanted and then some with the organization. And if
this really is a go for broke type year, which
is what it feels like, the Steelers are just trying
new stuff, which I'll give them credit. Man, I don't personally,
I don't think that this is going to work in
(18:36):
result in a Super Bowl. I call me crazy. I
still think that there's some obstacles in the AFC that
they would need to get through. Could they be a
playoff team? Okay, But I don't know that anybody looks
at them and says, all right, this is going to
be This is closing the gap between them and Kansas City,
between them and Baltimore, between them and Buffalo insert other
(18:59):
AFC team who were playoff teams a year ago. But
I'll give them credit. At least they're trying something. They're
trying to do something because it felt like they'd been
doing the same thing repetitively over the past several years,
just the same thing, and at least they looked at
it this year and said, we got to shake it up,
(19:20):
get we got to try something different. And look. Jared Smith,
Fox sports radio host, betting analyst, he was on with
us a few weeks ago and he laid out, look, man,
Pittsburgh's schedule is rough. It's why when you see the
stories come out and start to trickle out this week
because everybody's getting ready for training camp and all that,
and you look and you go, oh boy, they're only
(19:41):
favored in six games this upcoming year. Yeah. Yeah. Jared
was pointing that out a couple of weeks ago when
the schedules came out in full, like, yeah, this is
a problem. They're up against it, but at least they're
trying some stuff. But all that stuff that they're trying
(20:02):
is done, is erased and over. If you can't figure
this out with TJ. Watt, and I just don't see
how you reward the guy who's trying to make that
happen with an extension unless you think or are pretty
certain that you're close to that happening. I just don't
see it. So for anybody that's waiting on news or
(20:25):
looking around and saying, well, there's potential trade possibilities for TJ. Watt, Man,
what about this team and that team and top five
trade destinations for TJ. Watt if the Steelers decide to
move on. For everybody looking around at all that stuff,
it's cute, it'll get you through. It's a decent fantasy.
(20:46):
But the answer was given to you in part by
the guy making the decision getting an extension. And you
don't reward a guy like that if he's about to
make a move that would be booed by everyone in
the fan base that doesn't happen, and would be booed
by everybody on the outside of the organization. You're not
(21:06):
rewarding that guy unless you're pretty certain he's going to
be able to get a deal done. So when Omar
Khan got his extension, that told me, listen, man, TJ.
Watt's going to be a stealer by hook er, by crook.
They're going to figure this thing out. He's not going anywhere.

major sporting event somewhere say, and for some reason, I've
never been a part of it. Find out why. Coming
up next year on FSR. But for all the latest
from around the world of sports, we turn it over
(22:12):
to the one, to the only, to the Piccolo pe
of Fox Sports Radio, Your majesty, Sir Isaac Longcron.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Yes, every single report is like a Fourth of July
for the years, Jonas, Happy Fourth of July weekend, do
you and we start naturally?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
By the way, what did you what did you think
of my you know, my pointing out that every year
you're warned about fireworks accidents, and every year there are
fireworks accidents.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
All I can say is pretty amazing. Backup Terry, backup Terry?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Do you know what I'm referring to in the wheelchair?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Backup Terry?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Backup Terry, and yet Trian and yet Fortunately for first
of all, Terry did not appear to be interested or
have the desire to back up, despite his friends or
associates pleading for him to back up. And also, unless
I'm misremembering that video, Terry emerged from that incident completely unscathed,
(23:29):
which is more than I could say for most people. Yeah,
I mean, you just see these and look.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I feel bad for the people that are on the
outside that are seeing this, and all of a sudden
something tilt tips over in points in their direction and
fires one off at them, and then there's an accident
to either kids or people that had nothing to do
with lighting these things off. Feel bad for them. The
other people are idiots. I don't feel the least bit
bad for him. Dude, get it together. Understand what the
(23:57):
warning label is, dummy.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I don't know how it is in your palatial neighborhood,
but down the street we have a big legal fireworks alley.
So we toured it last night, and yeah, we always
made sure to make it in a safe distance. But
I'm not that I'd be terrified to try and set
some of those things off. And some of these people
are having their little kids set them off.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You have a fireworks alley.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
It's a street, but it's essentially a fireworks alley. People
from that we've never seen before, like park up and
down this long narrow road by where we live, and
they just camp out there and they set their fire
It's great. I mean, we just walk up and down
and it's the best free fun. Oh you're just sore
because we didn't invite you this year.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Where do you live, bag Dad? People just lightened off
explosions that wait what.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I'll send you some pictures and videos. You can reach
way into your.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Followers and they're allowed to that's legal. It's yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
I mean I didn't know whether it was legal in
our community. But like, as this was happening, a sheriff's
deputy car just drove slowly down the street seeing all
these people setting off fireworks and didn't stop.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Man, like I said, I don't know how it is
in your you know, gated community with snipers maintaining a
perimeter around the turrets there. But you know, as I
live among the people, it's it's more exciting there.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Anyway, back to you, it's correct. Yeah, I know you
described my residence to a tea.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I've seen things on social media, so from the most
American thing ever to the most.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Shoe box with windchimes.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Oh, come on, that might have been true years ago,
but you're a multi media empire beloved by everyone on
social media.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Keep it coming.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Yes, we'll refresh your mentions in the meantime and see
how that played with your adoring public. So, like I said,
for the most American thing ever to the most British
thing ever, and that would be round three at Wimbledon,
American Ben Shelton taking on Hungary's Martin Fuvich. The second set,
after Shelton took the first set six to three, went
(26:09):
to a tie break, and here's how it ended moments
ago on Radio Wimbledon.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
From Sheltonovich gets a Racket two that's kind.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Of got white, huge role bench Shelton.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
He's two sets to love up here on the number
one court, one hour twenty five on the clock.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
First set six to three and the second seven games
to sixty.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It's those he's to love and anyway.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Shelton right now leaves the third set two games to none,
while seven time champion Novak Djokovic taking on fellow Serbian
Miyamir Katzmanovich and right now Djokovic up two sets to
none and leading the third set four games to one. Earlier,
American Emminavarro divida defending champion Barbora create Shikova two six six,
(26:55):
three six four. Big news just coming down in Major
League Baseball is a short time go. New York Yankees
manager Aaron Boone gave an update on starting pitcher Clark Schmid,
who was placed on the injured list yesterday due to
right four arm soreness.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
He's gonna have to probably have surgery, likely Tommy John surgery.
He's kind of getting second opinions and things now, but
so we'll see, you know, what goes on here in
the next couple of days.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
What was the terror? Is it a UCL terror?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It looks like the UCL. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
One game going on right now at Wrigley Field the
Cubs and Cardinals. No score in the top of the first. Finally,
Jonas now tonight the Mariners are going to be hosting
the Pirates. And in case you and the people out
there missed it, did you hear what happened before the
Mariners Pirates game at T Mobile Park yesterday? Now, all right,
so the stadium's empty, it's the time before the game and.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Suddenly usually empty those teams play.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
All right, it's not like it's the White Sox in
the Rockies, who, by the way, drew forty eight thousand yesterday.
But anyway, before yesterday's game started at T Mobile Park,
a samoan fell out of the sky and landed in
the stands behind the first base dugout. It turned out that,
according to multiple witnesses, they saw a falcon drop the
(28:13):
salmon while the falcon was being chased by an eagle
on the fourth of July above a Major League baseball ballpark.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
On that note back to you now never, I'm never
gonna say it it's good. Well, I'm just wanted did
anybody actually did it? Was it caught or did anybody
like did they go scoop it up? Or yeah, so
they have a videotape.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
It landed like in the first row behind the first
base dugout, and they have video of the salmon plummeting
to the earth behind the first base dugout, and it
came within five feet of hitting some random person who
was standing there. And then the guy picked up the salmon,
which was remarkably intact, considering it just fell a couple
of hundred feet after being dropped and presumably mall by
(29:00):
a falcon who is being chased by an eagle.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Wow, well look, I mean so even the the falcons
can't even hold onto that. Man.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Well, I'm just saying, because that's that's brilliant. So so
you're saying it wasn't Julio Jones back in the day.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Just saying like that was that? Was that the part
two of twenty eight to three. I'm just I'm just wondering, are.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
You Are you going to somehow find a way to
blame this on Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Perhaps, No, Kirks, he makes so much money. Samon's beneath him.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah he's not.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He's not eating salmon. Please, that's way beneath him. Wow. Listen,
look that's uno you. Hopefully who ever picked up the
salmon enjoyed it, take it home and do something with it,
you know, don't don't let it go to waste. Somebody
almost lost their life in the sky trying to trying
to get that dinner. So all right, well that's interesting.
I hadn't heard that story. Thank you, Ilo. By the way,
(30:02):
I did. Something did occur to me yesterday, and we
are going to have another edition of Do You Care
coming up here in about ten minutes from now. Jonas
Knox with you on Fox Sports Radio. Something occurred to
me yesterday. I sit in judgment a lot of Joey
Chestnut because I just you know, it's revolted. The whole
thing's disgusting to me. I don't I just don't get
(30:24):
I don't understand the shoveling food in your mouth for
ten minutes. He did like seventy and a half hot
dogs in ten minutes, which is just disgusting. I mean
that's not even like, how do you tell somebody that's
what you do for a living? Like you imagine the
first date with that guy? Hey, what do you do
for a living? I shove food in my mouth? Oh okay,
check please? But what just there's nothing about it. I
(30:44):
don't I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I actually, wait a minute, on that note. Do we
know his you know, personal relationship status.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I mean, is he married? Does he.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Apparently? Never mind? Sorry, there's some negative he was spoken
for but it didn't work out according to Wikipedia. Oh
what happened? You know, it's personal. It's personal. People break
up all the time, you know, but within the last
decade he was in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Well, I'll just say this, I've actually never watched the
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, And like, it didn't occur
to me until yesterday because as we were finishing up,
we filled it on the Dan Patrick Show, like Ryan
Burschinger and Iowa Sam and lead to Laper like, yeah,
we're about to watch this Nathan hot Dog eating contest.
You want to stick around? No? And then on the
(31:35):
drive home, on the drive home, I realized, Oh, I've
actually never watched it. So I sit here in judgment
of it and I've never actually watched it because I
don't get it. And Isaac and I were talking last
week about the Savannah banana stuff, the craze. It is
the Savannah bananas, which I think they're having another game
this weekend. I think it's sold. It might be maybe
it's Fenway or somewhere like that. And it's the same
(31:55):
thing with the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest. There are
people that watch this thing religiously. There are people that
go to this event for what. For what? By the way,
I'm not making this up.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Do you know who the the play by play or
the chu by chwoo commentator was yesterday?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Who's that? It was?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
The noted respected sports journalist Jeremy Shapp. I kid thee not.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
All the illustrious career of Jeremy Shapp, a guy who
has interviewed a who's who in sports. I used to
listen to Jeremy Shapps. What was the radio show he had?
It was like the equivalent of this, Yeah, the sporting
life I used. Jeremy Shapp is calling the Nathan's Hot
Dog getting contest. They should thank God that somebody like
(32:47):
Jeremy Shapp would grace them with his presence. Agreed. I
would like, I'll bet if you ask Jeremy Shapp, like, hey,
top ten accomplishments the Nathan's Hot Didy hot Dog eating
contest is like two thousand. It's nowhere even near.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
I just would you like to hear we do have
Jeremy Shaff's final call of Chestnuts victory, along with what
I think is trenchant analysis by the analyst.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Do you want to hear it? It's sixteen seconds please
all right, here we go, but we're not going.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
To get to the record. But seventy Big would be
in a remarkable feet watch him here in the last seconds.
Joey's gonna get it in such meat eating too. The
etiquette is just exemptly something to aspire to.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Sounds like Madden in Summer all to me. I can't
do it. I'm sorry, man, but there's feel that love it. Man,
they just love it. I just I don't get the appeal.
I don't like I understand Savannah bananas more than that,
I get that. I just all right, Hey, teach their own,
(33:56):
but not my thing. At the Jonas Knocks on acts

Speaker 1 (35:13):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time
DMG reports. Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big
stories from the last week. But Jonas, the real question
is do you care?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
Patrick Sweek got to find out what the hell people
have been talking about all week.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Patty, all right, well, Jonas, do you care that the
Dolphins in one of their trades this week they actually traded.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
For a man known as Darren Waller. What was he?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
A tight end?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Jonas?
Speaker 8 (35:48):
He was retired, he now unretired. Do you care about that?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I do, because I think it's all I love here.
The Miami Dolphins are in the midst of and Albert
Breer was on with the this week and he said, well,
you know they're rebuilding. I mean, if we're being honest
about it, the rebuilding and the fact that they traded
away John hus Smith, a guy who wanted to be
in Miami, was trying to get a deal done, a
guy who, oh, by the way, just had the best
(36:15):
season of his career, went to a Pro Bowl, produced
at a high level. They had been talking for months
about trying to get something done. Their solution was to
trade him, along with Jalen Ramsey, for Minka Fitzpatrick. But
don't worry, we'll fix the tight end spot. We're gonna
go ahead and sign some guy who's retired. What I
(36:39):
don't get it. I don't know what the plan is.
But if I was a Dolphins fan, I would not
be optimistic going into next year.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Next all right? Jonas?
Speaker 7 (36:47):
Well, speaking of fishy things, we got the Mariners with
this one. Do you care that newly minted MLB All
Star and Seattle Mariner catcher Cal Rawley, he has a nickname, Jonas,
what's the nickname?
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Big Dumper?
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Care?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
All right? So what is first of all? So is
this basically because the guy's got a big ass?
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Is that what I'm saying? All right? So he's got
a all right, So the guy's got a big ass,
so they call him a big all right. I mean, look,
there's there's worse names out there. I can't think of
anybody any right now, but there's worse nicknames out there.
I will say this. He destroys the ball. He's unbelievable,
and for a guy who just signed a long term deal,
(37:32):
he's probably kicking himself going. Man, if I would have
just waited and then, you know, all of a sudden,
come to the table to ask what they're willing to
offer after this year that he's had, He's on pace
for like seventy home runs this year. He's been unbelievable.
But hey, big Dumper on his way to the All
Star Game because he's got a giant ass.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
Next, when he hits a home run called big. Never mind,
she got great, thank you, thank you?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Out what else we got next?
Speaker 7 (38:05):
So the nix of penned Mike Brown to be their
new head coach after now firing a Tom Thibodeaux.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
Do you care about that?
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Oh yeah, this is I mean, the Knicks keep on
giving love it. I just I love that the Knicks
are like, you know what, we really going to stretch
this whole thing out. We are going to stretch this
entire thing out. We want everybody to know that we
are thinking big. We are thinking huge when it comes
to our next head coach. We're going to go ahead
and hire the guy that we probably could have hired
like a week after the firing. Like literal, it's just
(38:34):
like all all of it was for headlines. All of
it was to try and get everybody interested in the
Knixt job. It's typical clown show circus activity. It never
fails with the Knicks.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Next, all right, jonas well, speaking of a clown show
or a catastrophe, hear me out here. So residents of
a Mexican office breakroom were terrorized in their building. From
what you asked, Jonas, Well, it was a spider monkey.
It was on the loose, andreaking havc. There're the ceilings
(39:05):
of said office building scaring people left and right.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
So did you Yeah, I mean I care about it
because I got like, why would a spider monkey be
in in the break room? Like what happened? Like did
he crawl through? Are they near a zoo? Did somebody
have like a pet spider monkey? Let's go live to
where I have a thought on spider monkeys inside of
Chris propeplis Chris coffee break that's why. Oh the monkey
(39:30):
was on a coffee break. Yeah, he was on a
coffee break. Got everyone's down in the business. What form
that makes sense? By the way, we're not trying to
judge anybody for what they allow in the building because
we've got bats that fly around our studio. Oh yeah,
so there's there's no no judgment being passed along here.
But maybe somebody out of lock the doors there in Mexico.
One was literally flying right over my head one night. Yeah,
(39:52):
it's it's it's bizarre.
Speaker 7 (39:53):
What else we got, all right, Jonas? So a bear
was seen in California California cabin. What else is new
breaking into said cabin where it raided in the fridge
and abruptly left with all the food you care.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And these are great. Look it shows all that bears are,
you know, trying to trying to find their way. They
don't seemingly hurt any human beings. I don't even see
him go after pets or dogs. They're not like coyotes,
who are scumbags. They're not going to eat your cat
or anything. They're just looking for something to eat. They'll
rummage through the cupboard, they'll grab some jiff and maybe
(40:28):
some berries on the way out and whatever. You got
to clean up a little mess, no big deal.
Speaker 7 (40:32):
Next, all right, there was a freeway big rig crash
on the Pennsylvania Highway.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
What was this?
Speaker 8 (40:41):
There was this big spillage. It was mazzarella cheese. Do
you care?
Speaker 7 (40:45):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Yeah, Look, this is unfortunate. Somebody's got to tighten up
a little bit out there. Although I will say this, truckers,
you drive erradically way more than you should. So there's
somebody in the NFL who's missing the point on the
evaluation of their franchise. We'll explain who that is coming
up here in just a couple of moments from now,
(41:07):
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 and
wherever you are making us a part of your Saturday afternoon,
we appreciate you doing so. We are going to take
you all the way up until the end of this
hour four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. We've been
(41:28):
talking a lot about fourth of July Lebron James sending
a tweet out in response to a picture of him
at the Cavs training facility and telling everybody to basically
get a life, and he's right. We've also talked about
how we know what's going to happen in Pittsburgh, or
at least I know the Steelers are going to figure
(41:49):
out how to get something done long term with TJ. Watt,
because you wouldn't reward your GM Omar Khan with a
contract extension unless you are pretty certain that you were
going to get that move done, because without that move,
this off season is a miss. Like without that move,
this off season's a miss. And you could say, well,
you know, they're a stable organization and they've been able
(42:11):
to identify, you know, the defensive side of the ball.
Maybe they can go in a cheaper direction. No, no, No,
they will figure out a way to keep TJ. Watt
in Pittsburgh. He's going to sign a long term deal.
He's going to be there long term. I'm not worried
about that at all. I think a lot of this
stuff is just fluff. Like a lot of this stuff
is just a you know, there's stories and reports out
(42:33):
there that maybe there's some resentment over the previous negotiation. Dude,
there's always resentments. Things are going to happen in negotiations
all the time. This is just part of that process.
This is how this works. And ultimately I think they're
going to get a deal done. And I also am
not sure that Aaron Rodgers would sign up to want
(42:54):
to come back and play for Pittsburgh if he wasn't
also certain that they were going to get a deal
done for JJ Watt. Like I would find that hard
to believe. Like, you're not giving you're not signing Aaron Rodgers,
You're not making these moves, You're not giving omar Con
a contract extension and then turning around and doing this.
It's counter to everything that you've done this offseason. So
(43:15):
to me, maybe a little bit of a spoiler. But
to me, I look at it and I go, it's
a rap. All these things wouldn't have happened just for
you to say no and to move on from TJ.
Watt either trade him or not get a long term
deal done. I just find that hard to believe. It's
not gonna happen. Now. Aaron Rodgers former team, the New
(43:37):
York Jets, they find themselves in a different spot. You've
got Sauce Gardner talking about, you know, the throws by
justin fields and practice and how he's making Aaron Rodgers
type throws. You've got all of this new optimism there,
Aaron Glenn's there. It's a whole new Jets, whole new team.
(43:58):
It's a new era of Jets football. And then you've
got Bryce Hall, who was discussing just sort of where
the team is at recently, this courtesy of the team's
website quote. I think people think the new coaching staff
and new GM means to rebuild, But we have a
lot of really good players on the roster, so we're
(44:18):
trying to win now, and I think a lot of
people from the outside are going to take that for
granted or not realize that we actually have a team.
He's totally missing the point, all right, completely missed the point.
Nobody's questioning whether or not the Jets have talent. That's
(44:42):
really not been in question for quite some time now.
Like they've had good players there, they've had talent there.
Nobody's questioning that.
Speaker 7 (44:56):
Just like.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Having a bunch of nice fern in a house with
a crummy foundation. I mean, what are you supposed to do.
Eventually things are going to fall apart. Get the best
stuff you can fill that room up. Fill that doesn't
matter if the foundation is cracked. Eventually everything's going to
(45:20):
fall apart. So it's not a knock on Jets players.
If anybody's skeptical, if anybody's doubting the Jets' future, if
anybody's doubting whether or not the Jets could be a player,
or the Jets could be you know, some sort of
a thread or pose some sort of an issue for
anybody in the AFC. Nobody's like, it's it's not about
(45:41):
the players, it's about all the stuff around them. Bresol
even made mention of that when he was talking to
Marshawn Lynch on his podcast. He was on with Marshawn
Lynch and Michael Robinson and we look played it last
week and talked about so him, you know, wanting to
be optimistic and say, man, you know some people maybe
(46:01):
take it for granted, but we have a team. It's like, dude,
like there is talent there. That's what's so frustrating about this.
That's also a reason why Rogers went there to begin with,
is because there was talent there. You felt like you
had an opportunity there. The problem is all the other
stuff around it. Like Breeshall said it a week ago, Yeah,
(46:26):
it's hard to win games and stay focused and come
in on you know Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays and
third when like there's all this other chaos. Yeah, and
guess what, the chaos is still there. It's still happening.
So that's why everybody you know is pausing on wanting
(46:49):
to believe in the Jets because they've got a brand
new coach and they've got dude, they've had a lot
of new coaches, they've had a lot of new executives.
There's been a lot of new players, a lot of
new quarterbacks, and not a lot of new stars. They've
they've tried a lot and it hasn't worked because of
everything else around them. So you're watching Aaron Glenn and
(47:14):
all it's like and this is what this is the
part that amazes me about this when it comes to
some organizations going through the hiring process is the people
that want the job. That's the like, that's the part
that it made because I understand listen, man, there's only
(47:34):
thirty two of these things are there's only thirty two jobs.
You get an opportunity, you got to take that job.
It's like, okay, you know, like Mike Brown takes the
next job. Like Mike Brown Coach of the Year twice.
It's got pretty good pedigree, pretty good resume. Came from
the Warriors staff, won titles. There came from the Spurs
(47:57):
like this, like he's been around, but he's been around
stable organizations and still signed up for that. Why, I
just I don't why. Aaron Glenn I believe was going
to get an opportunity to be a coach, Like at
(48:21):
some point he was going to get an opportunity. He
believes this was going to be his spot. Okay, Mike
Brown wants to get back in the game, wants to
go coach, all right, And I understand, Look, there's only
thirty of these, or there's only thirty two of these,
and you got to take the opportunity when you get it.
But man, the people that willingly run to that always
(48:47):
kind of surprise me, because you've got decades worth of
evidence that it's a circus. Like I hope Dave Canalis
is given time in Carolina. I hope he's given a
real opportunity. But good luck, man, it's David Tepper. He
played nice for a year. David Tepper played nice for
(49:08):
a year. He didn't meddle in anything for a year,
but he did it the year before that. He did
it the year before that. Like, good luck. I hope
it works out for Dave Canalis. I thought they made
improvements last year. Bryce Young looked significantly improved last year.
And everything you hear about Dave Canalis is great, dude,
great dude. I hope it works out. But damn, when
(49:31):
you took the gig, you had to have known, all right,
this this could could go sideways quick. Like I was
happy for Demico Ryans when he got to Houston and
they won games and C. J. Stroud looked the way
that he looked. And you know, they've been to the
playoffs a couple of years because they were one and
done on coaches for a while. But like you know,
(49:54):
Breese Hall's talking about yeah, you know, just you know,
we've got a team, dude. Nobody's nobody's questioning the furniture.
They're questioning the foundation. It's not about that. But yet
there's people that sign up for those gigs all the time.
And I made this point talking earlier this week. It's
like the people who have who received like serial killers
(50:15):
who have love letters sent to them. There's these women
who like come from all over the country that want
like I could change them, Like listen, I know it's
been rough, but I can change them like that, Like
some of them get married. The night stalker I think
had a wife in somehow they got married through the
(50:36):
prison bars, Like I could change them. I can find
people like that. I think they can change them. It's like, no,
the ending is going to be the same as it
is for everybody else. Tied up in the trunk of
a car and it ditched somewhere. That's how this goes.
There is no other way. That's how it always goes.
(50:57):
So like hear Breis Hall or you're like a fan
basically like, oh well, people are just too negative about
our organizations, like no, man, we've like how much more
evidence do you need? Like we've seen it, and yet
there's somebody who's always willingly there to take it, like
like wants to sign up for Like oh yeah, well
I could turn things around here. Okay, So man, good
(51:19):
luck to Aaron Glenn, good luck to Mike Brown, good
luck in near two, to Dave Canalis, good luck. But
if people are doubting your team or skeptical about your
team going into a season, or when they make a move,
or when it's got nothing really to do with the
people inside the building, it's the people on the outside
(51:42):
of the building that's the problem. At the Jonas Knox
on X at the Jonas Knox on X and you
can hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app.
You can also get us on the Instagram page as
well too at Jonas Knock Show coming up next here, though,
we are going to tell you how there's people in
sports you might even be one of them who are
(52:03):
just finding out about something that's been here for a
long time and it's got scandal written all over it.
Find out what it is next. The Jonas knock Show
shouldn't be warning people about fireworks and blowing digits off.
It should be warning listeners that Jonas inhales more Lebron
(52:23):
James and Aaron Rodgers Glizzies than Joey's Chestnut at the
Jonas Knox on X. You can also find us on
Instagram at Jonas knock Show. Both those are rude, if
I do say so myself, both of those were extremely rude,
but part for the course. Here on a Saturday afternoon.
Now there is something that is happening this and I
(52:50):
just I kind of get a kick out of this.
So when you see the stuff popped up that with
Luis Ortiz of the Cleveland Guardian, you see like the
gambling allegations that pop up to where you know, people
are trying to figure out like, well, you know, like
what are we talking about as far as details on
(53:10):
the gambling and what he did, and then you know,
according to sources, there was action on Ortiza's first pitches
and select innings to be a ball or a hit
batsman in a couple of games. So people are betting
on individual pitches in these games a significant amount of money,
so much so that it flagged it. There was a
(53:32):
betting integrity site that spotted it and said, all right, well,
this is this is odd. We need to take a
look at this. You guys have got to do something
about it. So you see that, you see the Malik
Beasley stuff where there was a prop bet on his
rebounds that sort of flagged some people going hey, maybe
(53:53):
maybe we should investigate this a little further as well too,
that we should look into this. And then you obviously
know the Johntay Porter stuff and all these other scandals
and stuff that have come out when it comes to gambling.
All these things that have happened people have been really
really surprised by. And those people are the people that
(54:14):
have never been around the gambling world or have been
around this stuff at all. I have not been surprised
by the incidents of players getting popped because I've either
known or been around sports betters for probably twenty plus years.
(54:34):
My first email address I ever got, the only reason
I signed up for an email account back then was
because you needed one if you wanted to keep up
with how betting lines were going, like if you wanted
to look at different betting lines and whatnot. Like I
needed an email address to have that. That's the only
reason I got an email. I don't even think I
(54:56):
used it to send emails, but I needed one to
set up an account be able to look at that stuff.
That's why I got it. Like you stayed, you know,
up to speed onlines, points, spreads, over unders, props, et cetera.
Like all like bad beats. Oh my god, I've got
that and stories for days about bad beats. I can
(55:16):
remember betting on a Calves magic game while I was
a busboy at TGI Fridays, and I remember I had
a parlay. I had the Calves plus two and a
half in Orlando, and I had the under of two
to one and a half and Cleveland had a one
(55:39):
hundred to ninety seven lead. I was sitting pretty until
Tracy McGrady threw up a three missed but got fouled,
hit all three free throws and it went into overtime.
So I lost the bet. And you're thinking, what, Well,
because it was a parlay, I needed the under to
hit I needed Cleveland in the under. So because it
(55:59):
went dover time, it hit the over, it lost the bet.
I work that entire shift and then the next night
for free. Oh I've got bad beats to all that
stuff for you. So, when you've been involved with or
known people from that world, you know the highs, you
know the lows, and you also know to come to
(56:20):
find out, there are some scumbags in that world, and
there are also people who are willing to partake in
scumbaggery even if it cost him everything. That's real. You
look at these athletes that are getting popped for this
stuff and you go, oh my god, why would you
(56:40):
risk it all?
Speaker 8 (56:41):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (56:41):
That's that world. You get hooked on it, you lose
a bet, you start chasing next thing, you know, you're
a ton of debt and you're trying to get out
of it, or somebody throws you a few bucks to
try and help you. That's that world, and that world
was brought in to professional sports. So while everybody's out
(57:03):
look at this going oh my gosh, no, no, this is
what could potentially happen. And if you didn't know that,
it's because you'd never been around it before. So when
this stuff pops up, I don't. I'm not surprised or
stunned by It's like, oh, of course, did you think
that there was going to be some other result? Like
(57:24):
did you think everything was going to be squeaky clean?
You were just going to make a bunch of money
from these gambling sites. It was going to infiltrate a
bunch of cash, like like put a bunch of cash
back into the system, into the machine, so to speak,
and there were going to be no issues whatsoever. Is
that how you thought this worked. It doesn't work that way.
There are scumbags in every industry, specifically in that one.
(57:47):
There are things that are going to go sideways when
you have money, and people that do bad things with
money Like this, this was always a possibility. Yes, guys
were going to risk it all on a pitch, whether
it was an outside pitch or a hit batsman or
a ball or a straight Yes, they were going to
(58:09):
do that. Yes, they were going to potentially sabotage their
career so they hit over two and a half rebounds
or under two and a half, Yes, that was going
to happen. That's put like, this is the risk. I
got news for you. You put a cup of draino on
the kitchen table and walk away for ten minutes. At
(58:30):
that point, it's a role that dies, whether or not
you're rushing your kid to the er later that day.
I'm sorry, that's the risk that comes along with this stuff.
It's like the fireworks explosions. Oh my god, I can't believe.
Like guy's house caught on fire and he'd lost half
an armed Oh you think, no, no kidding, Like when
(58:55):
this stuff pops up, I'm not surprised at all. Do
you think it's this is gonna stop happening. Do you
think we're never gonna hear another story about a guy
sabotaging his career for gambling? Really you think you think
this is it? Like we've just we've reached the ceiling.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, We've
only scratched the surface. This is going to continue to happen.
(59:17):
And I'd also say this for people that say, well,
you shouldn't have just you shouldn't have let it in
the sport at all. No, no, no, that's not just
because somebody gets stabbed doesn't mean you stop selling knives
just because somebody beats their neighbor to death with a hammer.
Doesn't mean you close down ace hardware like, it doesn't
(59:41):
work that way. You You are giving players the ability
if they choose to jeopardize their career. Some are going
to do it, most aren't. But this doesn't mean that
you just get rid of it from sort well, I mean,
if you're gonna take all this money, I mean, what
do you expect? No, you you, I expect that players
(01:00:01):
are going to look at this and make the right decision.
But some people can have a hammer and use it
to build something, and then some people can have a
hammer and use it to break something. And some of
these players have chosen this. When this stuff pops up
and people are looking at the details of it, like
the oh he's betting on rebounds and pitch, I mean
this whole wait, how did dobody think this through? No,
(01:00:26):
you just didn't think it through. This was always a possibility.
It doesn't mean you get rid of them all, you
get rid of every gambling affiliation with every sport or whatever. No,
you don't do that. You just understand this is what
could happen. This is what could happen. There are some
people that are going to make mistakes and some people
are not going to handle this the right way. This
(01:00:47):
is what could happen. And if you've been around this
stuff for as long as I have, you've got stories
or know of situations for days. Man, there's been stuff
thrown out there for years about athletes betting or potentially
being involved in There was a rumor out years and
years and years ago that Mike Dicka had a prop
(01:01:09):
bet on the fridge to score a touchdown in the
Super Bowl and that's the reason he gave him the
ball and not Walter Payton, which is what led to
Walter Payton being upset. That was a rumor years ago.
Who knows if it's true. It's probably not true. But
there's been rumors about this stuff for years. So if
you are appalled or taken aback by the fact that,
(01:01:33):
oh my god, that people are behaving this way, well, yeah,
that's what happens in this Like sometimes this happens. Sometimes
you leave something on the table and something goes wrong,
So you can either not leave it on the table
or not be so surprised when something crazy happens. So
(01:01:54):
when something crazy happens here and you see people getting
popped for gambling and you see, I'm not surprised at all,
and I think it's going to continue to happen. Like
they're going to investigate stuff like this, it will pop
up again. That's how this works. It's like peds. Oh
we're testing now, we're testing now, how come people are
(01:02:15):
still pissing hot? You're never going to get rid of
it all the way. It's always going to be here.
You just can't be surprised when it happens at the
Jonas Knocks on X, at the Jonas Knox on X
and you can get us on Instagram as well too
at Jonas Knox show up next though, we have a
literal no win situation in the world of sports. That
(01:02:36):
will be yours here on FSR. But for all the
latest from around the world of sports, ladies and gentlemen.
A man who is sent over video evidence of the
fireworks spectacle of the Lowen Crowns, which.
Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
I would say, Oh, what did you just say the
Loan Crowns.
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Yeah, you know you said Lowen Krans.
Speaker 6 (01:02:59):
Right, Oh you said Loan Kran Not really, We've gotten
you in four k okay, that's fine what you called
him Djokovic earlier too, so we're even out. He calls
himself Djokovic, But then why did you call him Djokovic afterwards?
Perhaps I mispronounce it, but the accurate, the accurate pronunciation
is Djokovic.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Okay, can I can I present you in the way
that I want to present you?
Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
And we do this all keep asking me permission to
do stuff? You interrupted. You're the one who station let
me do the presentation.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Fine, fine, ladies and gentlemen, We turn it over to
a man who demands your respect, and if he doesn't
get it, he'll bring you out back behind fireworks alleys
and lights you up. He's the one and only Isaac
long Craft. I'm sorry I snapped at you, Jonas.
Speaker 6 (01:03:57):
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
I'm pretty impressive. So this I saw the video. Yeah,
isn't that cool? It's also not legal. I don't know
where you're from. I don't know how anybody would think
that I.
Speaker 6 (01:04:10):
Meet a sheriff's vehicle drove at like fifteen miles an
hour down the street taking it all in.
Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
It's all I'm saying. Okay, for me, did not have
a problem with it, all right, Listen, I just hope
everybody was safe. That's allook.
Speaker 6 (01:04:27):
Everybody was Thank goodness, there were a couple of close
calls there. So that's an Independence Day weekend tradition and
what could be better than a day game at Wrigley
Feel between the Cardinals and the Cubs. Right now, the
Cardinals have a three to one lead over the Cubs
as they go to the bottom of the fourth inning.
Saint Louis taking the lead a short time ago, adding
to it on a home run by Nolan Gorman is
(01:04:49):
twenty six to out of the season. The Cubs run
coming on a home run by Michael Bush after he
had three home runs in their victory yesterday. Bush now
with eighteen home runs on the seat. The Tampa Bay
Rays up to one at Minnesota going to the bottom
of the fourth inning. Angels and Blue Jays tied at
one in the bottom of the second inning at Toronto.
Off the field, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone today
(01:05:11):
gave an update on starting pitcher Clark Schmid, who was
placed on the injured list yesterday due to right forearm soreness.
Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
He's gonna have to probably have surgery, likely Tommy John surgery.
He's kind of getting second opinions and things now, but
so we'll see, you know, what goes on here in
the next couple of days.
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
What was the terror or is it a UCL terror?
Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
It looks like the UCL. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
Meanwhile, in round three at Wimbledon today, seven time champion
Novak Djokovic swept fellow Serbian Miyamir Katzmanovitch. American Ben Shelton,
in his third round match swept Hungary's Martin Foodshovich. By
the way, Jonas, are you familiar with this guy, Ben Shelton.
He's American tennis player, like Atlanta or somewhere like that. Okay,
(01:05:58):
so you might have to google this because is it me?
Or is Ben Shelton a dead ringer for Jackson Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Oh god, you're right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
I mean once you see it, you can't Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
Man, wow, did he just drop in the rankings since
you pointed that out? Literally literally? Yeah, he looks just
like what's Jackson Mahomes been up to?
Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
Thankfully not batch it appears unless he you know, what
he should do full time, unless he changed his identity
and became a champion tennis player.
Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
You know what Jackson Mahomes should do full time? What's
that he should be? His dad's designated driver.
Speaker 6 (01:06:42):
Well, I'll keeping employee. Wow, you know, I mean, no
family is perfect. We all have our you know, we
all have our issues. We're caught up in an illegal
fireworks neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
I don't know how you think that's lee so bizarre,
Like you've got to see. I wish you would post
the video of this. You'd get arrested if you post
the video of this. I had nothing to do with that.
I'll tell you what I did, literally showing fireworks litten
in an alley near his house. That is so illegal
you can't even believe it. I'll tell you what. I'll
tell you what.
Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
I give you permission to post it on your various
social media account. I don't okay, it's just we have
I'm not trying to be rude here, but you and
I have different social media audiences. Mine is you know, classy,
respectful and appreciative, and yours kind of difference. Yeah, that's
(01:07:37):
what I was gonna say. Anyway. Earlier, American Emminavarrow defeated
defending champion Barbora krai Chikova two six sixty three sixty four. However,
American Danielle Collins defeated by eight seed Ega Schiantek.
Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Finally in the NBA.
Speaker 6 (01:07:50):
S n Y Television reported a short time ago the
incoming New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown's contract is
for four years and forty million dollars. Jonas, back to you,
and again, I apologize for snapping at you earlier.
Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
No, listen, I've heard worse. You've seen worse than your mentions. Yeah,
it's called marriage. Trust me, I have been through worse. Oh,
thank you, Ilo. Yeah, it is Jonas Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio. By the way, we're going to close
up shop with the scraps here in about ten minutes
from now. Those are things in the world of sports
and beyond we have not had a chance to get
(01:08:25):
to that will be yours here. I didn't want to
mention this because this was a no win situation for
anybody involved. So last night, for fourth of July, the
Houston Astros annihilated the Los Angeles Dodgers eighteen to one.
I mean, they destroyed the LA Dodgers. Worst loss by
(01:08:50):
the Dodgers in the history of that stadium, never seen
it before. And what's great about baseball, and especially baseball
involving these two organisations when they play each other.
Speaker 7 (01:09:02):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Literally nobody won. Nobody won because the Dodgers are fine. Yeah, whatever,
we got our ass, What big deal? They're fine. Still
the best team in baseball is still probably gonna win
a World Series. Big deal. The Astros beating the Dodgers
will never count because no matter what they do, they'll
(01:09:28):
never rid themselves of the stain that goes along with
the sign stealing scandal that they were part of against
the Dodgers. All of it is Nolan void, like Jose
Al two, vacnate his mini home runs at Dodger Stadium
for the rest of his career. Nobody cares. Doesn't matter,
(01:09:48):
Lance McCullers, you can have as many quality starts against
the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium the rest of your career.
Nobody cares. And those are the only two left from
that twenty seventeen team. But anybody else with the Astros
like new Astros, Isa Pretty's Cam Smith, like new Astro
(01:10:11):
like no, you're all here too, like you, None of
that counted. None of it counts because nobody's ever gonna
get over that. Nobody's gonna ever gonna And if you're
an Astros fan, and you're going, well, man, you know
it's been so long and nobody's there anymore, and it's
a brand new team and we won a World Series.
Totally credit deserved a congratulations all as well. The problem is,
(01:10:37):
we all know what happened, we all saw what happened,
and anytime that team plays in Dodger Stadium, it's a
waste of time if you win, because it'll never count.
It's never gonna count because in the eyes of everybody
there that sees these two teams matched up for the
rest of time, are immediately going to go back to
that series and that scandal and what happened. So congratulations
(01:11:02):
on an eighteen to one win, and congratulations on an
eighteen to one win that didn't count, and we'll never
count based on previous actions. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports

But right now it is time to close up shop
with a Saturday tradition we do called.
Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
This, Jonas, how could you not get to these stories?
Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Morons? Are there scraps? All right? Patrick sweeko, what are
we looking at today? All right?
Speaker 8 (01:12:15):
Jonas?
Speaker 7 (01:12:16):
Well, this one was from the Due Cares, but I
got one for you here. So there's an annual race
at a horse track where racing obviously is done. But
here's the thing, Jonas, it's not by horses. It's my
weirdos in inflatable t rex costumes that are just running
around drunkenly and stupidly. Just yeah, annual by the way, Okay,
(01:12:37):
so they dress is it like, uh so, just inflatable
t Rex costume, like those costumes you'll see with those,
like t Rex is running around looking kind of silly
when they run like those big inflame is it?
Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
By the way, isn't there like a h a new
Jurassic Park that's out or something like that. Yeah, this
has nothing to do with that. This is just people
running around the t Rex costumes just for the hell
of it.
Speaker 7 (01:13:00):
Yeah, apparently they just did it. The last one was
I believe twenty twenty one. They had to stop for
a couple of years and now they brought it back
and it's at a horse track. It is.
Speaker 8 (01:13:10):
I literally saw pictures of it.
Speaker 7 (01:13:12):
It's at a so you know how it's like the
jockeys like in the door thing they go and they're off.
Speaker 8 (01:13:16):
That is exactly what it was.
Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
Can you bet on it? May easy, but seriously, if
it's at a horse for people that don't know, then
I'll sit just from personal experience. As we keep with
the gambling theme here, shout out to all my fellow
flunky degenerate gamblers who are losing their careers in sports
because they're betting on their own games. Like if you
go to say, Santa need a racetrack. Beautiful place out
(01:13:41):
here in southern California, in Arcadia. If you go to
Santa I need it. Even when there's not live racing
going on, you can bet on events. But when there's
live racing going on, you can bet on those events.
So that's a live race. Why wouldn't you be able
to bet on it at a horse? I mean seems
(01:14:03):
to me that would be that would be something to
look into. If that's the case, I think you know.
I'm in. I'm in. If somebody wants to gamble on
some t rex is running around in circles because they're losers,
that's fine, We'll go ahead and bet on them. What
else we got, Patty? All right?
Speaker 8 (01:14:15):
Well, another one we have going on.
Speaker 7 (01:14:17):
Some former Bengals former Dolphins safety Rashad Jones had about
two and a half million stolen from a former financial
advisor that had access to his funds and it was
pretty much a big money laundering scam going from twenty
nineteen up till about twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
These people are such scumbags, like anybody who gets a
hold of somebody else's account because of trust and like, hey,
this is my job you can trust me with your money.
I'll take care of you. I'll make sure your fortune
is intact. And you end up just rifling through their
(01:14:57):
all their earnings and all their spendings behind their back,
Like they put their trust in you and you just
ruin them financially for life because you're a dirt bag.
I just I don't. I can understand doing some underhanded things.
I could understand maybe cutting somebody off in traffic. I
could understand maybe running a red light. I could understand, Like,
(01:15:19):
there's certain things that I could understand. You know, you
see a hundred bucks lying on the ground and nobody's around,
you pick it up and go sweet Like I can
understand things like that willingly and knowingly robbing somebody and
doing it based on the illusion that you should be trusted.
I'll never understand it. That guy's a scumbag. He should
(01:15:39):
go away for a long time.
Speaker 7 (01:15:41):
What else we got well, actually, prior to even that, Jonas,
before I jump into that, it wasn't just oh stealing
it for whatever, it was to continue living a lavish lifestyle,
going to the strip club and even paying for child support.
And it's just like it was all the wrong, wrong, reasons.
Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
But as long as it was for going to the
strip club, everything's fine. Yeah, then I understand the motives
like Magic City, I get it. I understand. Yeah, it's
not like he's just taking that money and keeping it
for himself. You know how many women were able to, uh,
you know, enjoy their weekend that weekend because that guy
had and so so it had to come at the
cost of somebody else's earnings. It's fine. Cool now that
(01:16:21):
I know that, it kind of changed the way people look.
I'd hire him, to be honest with you.
Speaker 8 (01:16:26):
Fair fair point.
Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Well what else we got?
Speaker 7 (01:16:28):
So fourth of July obviously was yesterday, So with that,
we got one for you here. So Jason Pierre Paul.
We all know Jason Pierpop, former NFL edge rusher. So
remember the incident he had. He was one of the
back in the day, the dummies that held a you know,
lud off his hand yep. So he reflects on his accident,
and he recently reflected on the and made a claim
(01:16:50):
that he wants to jump back into the NFL. He
didn't play last year, he was out and he's also
thirty six years old, but he wants to make a return.
Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
He's still had a pretty remarkable career post injury. When
that was if you saw the like the unedited pictures
like the that came out, I mean, that was nasty,
and he still had a pretty solid career after that,
even with all that stuff going on. I mean, whether
or not he gets back into the NFL, I mean,
(01:17:20):
who the hell knows, but uh, to do what he
did following that accident and what happened. And by the way,
when was that happen, like twenty fourteen, twenty third like
something like that, Like.
Speaker 8 (01:17:33):
Yeah, he was like it was about ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Yeah, Like he he ended up having a pretty decent
run in the NFL after all that. I mean, And
if I'm not missaying, I think he was on that
Super Bowl team with the Bucks. He was, Yeah, he
won the Super Bowl the Bucks afterwards, But yeah, that
was just a wild time. And I remember the coverage
of that and Adam Schefter releasing the hospital photos and
(01:17:56):
Jason Pierre Paul getting pissed about it. But I just,
I mean, I'll just say this, I heard a story
during the break that my mind is racing right now,
and I've seen the evidence, and I'll just you know,
I feel like somebody was holding out on us because
I didn't realize that Martin Weiss went to grade school
(01:18:20):
with the guy from Vanilla Sky like I had no idea,
But apparently apparently Martin grew up with some wild times
man like he had some wild classmates. O'bviously say that
because their fourth July looked a lot different than mine.
My fourth of July was spent trying to figure out
(01:18:41):
whether or not I was going to be able to
butcher the s'mores recipe, and they were sitting there, fall
asleep on candles.
Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
I showed this son of a bitch,
