Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You had better stop from the beginning.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Jonas Knocks, you thought you knew me.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
You didn't know a thing about me.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
He's crazier than air else wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You heard me pray.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Some darkness is lighting up your speakers to establish an
alibi for the day. Now live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, here's Jonas Knox y.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So, okay, I'm im part of this world.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, you knew it was gonna be a little weird,
all right, you just had you had this feeling it
was gonna get a little weird. I'm not sure we
knew it was gonna be this weird, though. We'll get
into that for you coming up here in just a
couple of moments. From now, Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio.
You can listen to the 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

(01:07):
a part of your Saturday morning here into the afternoon.
We appreciate you doing so, and we'll be taking you
all the way up until four pm Eastern time, one
o'clock Pacific. And I do want to say this, We
kind of got the feeling that things were gonna get
a little bit wonky in the world of college football today.
You kind of had that feeling because you had a
couple of upsets. You had had an upset last night,

(01:29):
you had some great plays being made. You had a
people storming the field in Virginia and it mean, it
looked like a rock concert had broken out. You've never
seen a field get storm like that. You know, in
Florida State. Unfortunate for them, you had their quarterback walking
off the field, some guys filming himself giving the guy
the bird. It just this whole weekend feels weird. Then

(01:51):
you got great matchups and you look up and down
the college football lineup, you go, these are great matchups.
If you go just based on point spread, if you
were to look at the point spreads, you're seeing a
lot of what should be close games. So you knew
it was gonna be weird. And then you're watching the
top twenty five on Top twenty five matchup that's going

(02:12):
on in Champagne on Fox, and you're watching Illinois lead USC.
They're fourteen ten and a half, and it's not that
surprising to me. There's some factors, outside factors that are
sort of creeping into the game. Early kickoff for USC

(02:33):
going all the way out there, nine am kickoff to
what they're used to. Which, by the way, anybody at
USC bitching about the kickoff, you can go away. You
signed up for this. You wanted the big ten money.
This is what comes with the big ten money. Okay,
tough balls if you don't like waking up a little
bit earlier and having to travel to do so is
what it is. But I digress. So you've got that.

(02:57):
You've also got the fact that Illinois got annihilated last week.
So you knew there was going to be a bounce back.
You knew there was going to be the potential for
a bounce back. Here the fumble that was called shortly
before half, where Illinois is trying to punch it in
to potentially go up two scores. They call a fumble

(03:21):
on the field. There is a replay of it shown.
It is clear as day that the Illinois ball carrier
is on the ground. It's clear that it's not a fumble,
and they still look at it and say no call
in the field stands illin. USC goes down, kicks a

(03:42):
field goals fourteen to ten. Look, man, I am. I
sort of admire people that come across that you'll come
across in life with it, because there's certain people that
they'll be telling you a story and you and them
both know they're lying, that's a lie, but you'll listen

(04:03):
to it and you'll look at him and go, Wow,
you're really going through with this. And I'm not trying
to call out anybody. Maybe you've had that happen in
a relationship, maybe you've got a kid like that, to
where your kid goes through a little fibbing phase. My
son went through that to where he would literally tell
me I would catch him doing something. He would grab

(04:24):
a cookie out of a bag. I'd say, did you
just grab that cookie? And he would say no, and
it's in his hand, like in his hand, like he
went through phase like that. And it's like these officials
in Champagne are like, no, that wasn't a fumble first down?
USCI what you could see it. It's it's clear, we're

(04:54):
looking at it. It's not like this is the nineteen
twenties and there's no replay and there's no cameras out
and it's like, hey, you just got to take them
on their word. I don't know, have to tell you.
It was like that a long time ago, and like
an Oilers Steelers AFC championship game where the Oilers caught
a pass. By the way, for you newbies out there,
the Oilers are currently the Titans. They were in Houston
before that, before the Texans. We got more of the

(05:15):
Texans coming up later on. They get issues. But the
whole point is, this is not like the nineteen twenties,
the nineteen sixties, where there was no real camera footage
to show you that the call was wrong and you
just had to live with it. No, no, no, no,
there is replay. It's clear as day. That's not a fumble.
Rule of fumble, like looking at you square in your

(05:39):
eyes and saying no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, this
is what the story is.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I admire it. Part of me admires it the balls
to have somebody say, hey, you know what, I'm gonna
tell you a story. You and I both know it's
a lie, but we're gonna go with that. But good
god man, like I knew it was gonna be a
weird weekend. You just had a feeling you saw what
was going on last night? You saw people rushing the field.

(06:05):
You've seen an upset already, Like you knew based on
the matchups and everything, this was going to be a
memorable weekend. But that was brutal, a brutal miscall by
the officials who I would love to hear the explanation afterwards.
Whatever they tell you is not going to make sense

(06:26):
at all, whatsoever short of I mean, what do you want?
We got money on USC Like if you tell me that,
at least I go, okay, Well, you know, now it
makes sense because whatever explanation they gave makes no sense
at the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knocks
On X and you can hang out with us as
always on the iHeartRadio app. All right, So speaking of weird,

(06:47):
there's this weird dynamic that is certainly that is currently
going on in Dallas where and speaking of people that
are going to tell you a story when you both
know it's you know, Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons. It's
been going on for a little while now, all right,
this is not exactly something to where you look at

(07:09):
it and you go, well, you know, I mean, what
happened where did the relationship go bad. It's like, well,
isn't it so much that it went bad? It's just
somebody is going down the road of really buying the
story that they're telling you, like they are going to
like they are fully invested in it, and nothing that

(07:32):
factors in from the outside, no information, like they're just
going to go with it. Jerry Jones is going with
the fact that the Cowboys are better off without Micah Parsons,
like that's the story he's going with, like he has decided,
he decided that a long time ago, that that's the

(07:54):
one that he was going to tell himself. And as
long as he keeps repeating that over and over to himself,
then everything's going to be fine. Eventually, everybody's just going
to sign on, all right. So the latest example of
that is the Cowboys and Packers get ready to play
to play on Sunday Night Football. The latest example of
that is Jerry Jones doing one of his bi weekly

(08:14):
hits on the fan in Dallas and saying this about
Micah Parsons.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Michaah is special, and we all know he is, and
he can be disruptive, but we have huge amounts of
experience with the anecdotes that we've say used on us
for the last four years. While he does make great plays,

(08:40):
there is also a way to approach playing against Micah,
as we know, because we didn't exactly win the Super
Bowl dre in those years.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Like yeah, I mean, you know, of course we know
how to beat Micah because teams were beating us when
we had Micah. So we'll just take they got. I mean,
it's not like we want a super Bowl, okay, I mean, listen,
it's a more eloquent way to go about this. I
mean it's a little bit more eloquent. You could do
what the team in town did, the Mavericks when they

(09:16):
traded away Luca. You could just fat shame the guy afterwards.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
I mean you could just do that.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, you know, pick a car in any car,
do you want a fat shame or do you want
an eloquent description of why you traded away a player
or got rid of a player you shouldn't have gotten
rid of. I mean, which way? Which one do you
want to go with? I mean, the Mavericks decided, y
know what we're gonna do. We're just gonna fat shame
this guy. I mean, I'm surprised the Mavericks, you know,
didn't just put up this is what happens when you

(09:43):
don't take ozempic and then put a picture like I'm
surprised they didn't just go that route. But Jerry Jones
has taking this one, and this is just somebody who realizes,
or maybe he doesn't realize. I mean maybe people have
tried to get him to realize that a man, you know,
we kind of made a mistake, probably could have handled
that better. This one definitely got away, and so maybe

(10:04):
we should, you know, like not make that mistake again. No, no, no,
it wasn't a mistake, but no, it kind of was.
It absolutely was. Have you seen Dallas's defense? They're atrocious.
They're atrocious. Caleb Williams went from he should be benched
for Tyson Bagent to NFC Player of the Week because

(10:27):
he played the Cowboys. They're awful on defense, awful and
there's no pass rush. They can't get to the quarterback.
And a guy that probably would have helped is a
guy who wanted to stay, who tried to get a
deal done months ago, but you couldn't get it done

(10:49):
because you wanted to hold out and wait until the
last minute and then decide no, no, no, we got to
get better at stopping the run. All right, Well, here's
the good thing. Dallas probably had the right approach because
they're going to be trailing by so much in games,
the teams are just going to run the football later
on anyways to grind out the clock. I mean, if

(11:09):
we're being honest, So maybe that was the right approach.
But Jerry Jones is now down the path of I
made a statement. Now, let me back my statement up. Yeah,
but there's facts that are getting in the way. I
don't care about those. I made a statement. Let me
back this statement up. Yeah, but the numbers say otherwise.
I don't care about the numbers. I made a statement.
Let me back this statement up. Okay, Jerry, that's fine. Listen, man,

(11:33):
whatever story you want to tell yourself, whatever story you
want to tell us, that's fine. We'll go with it.
Much like the officiating in the Illinois USC game, they're
lying to you. They're telling you a non truth in
front of your face. You just have to accept it
or admire the fact that they think you're stupid enough
to do so. At the Jonas knocks on x at
Jonas Knox Show on Instagram and you can hang out

(11:55):
with us as always on the iHeartRadio app. By the way,

Speaker 6 (12:53):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, you blubber Lisa and me.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by

(14:42):
I'm not gonna get sensitive like some people do. If
you want to bury me, even if it's not even warranted,
and you just want to put at the bottom, actually
liked what you just said, but I just wanted to
rip into you because it makes me feel better. That's
fine too. Go ahead, get to YouTube, make it happen,
you know, you know, knock yourself out. It's fine, all right.

(15:05):
So Kevin Stefanski no longer wants to be a head
coach of the Cleveland Browns. Now, he didn't say that.
He's not said that. He's not there's been no reports
of that. There's been no He hasn't doesn't plan on resigning.
He doesn't plan on quitting. You know, he's doing the

(15:27):
best he can. But Kevin Stefanski no longer wants to
be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. And the
reason why he doesn't want to be the head coach
of the Cleveland Browns is because the Cleveland Browns have
continued to put him in an awful situation, like repeatedly
have continued to put him in an awful position. And
whether you want to say that he had some blame
for what happened with the fallout with Baker Mayfield, that's fine.

(15:49):
There's been some reports of that that maybe they weren't
seeing eyed I bottom line is Baker Mayfield was injured
his final year. He just couldn't perform to the level
that he was performing at when Kevin Stefanski and him
led the team to the playoffs, and you know, he
was trying his best, probably got a little bit of
a red ass, as we've seen him from Baker that

(16:10):
he's capable of that at times. And so there was
just a falling out there and then all of a
sudden that Deshaun Watson rumors started and Baker Mayfield was like,
I'm out. I got to get out of here, all right.
So if you want to blame Stefanski for some of
that's fine. But the things that have happened in Cleveland
is not really a Kevin Stefanski problem, or it's not
really a Kevin Stefanski decision. It goes above Kevin Stefanski.

(16:33):
All right. So bringing in Deshaun Watson, whose idea was that?
Did Kevin Stefanski hit up ownership and say, hey, you
know what I think would make us get to the
next level? Yeah, what's that, coach? Can we get a
weirdo in at quarterback with a bunch of allegations of

(16:54):
misconduct from massage therapists? Well, like, how many allegations are
we talking about? Yeah, I don't know, like seventy five,
you know, give or take. Yeah, yeah, you know they
know Kevin Sevanski didn't do that. As a matter of fact. No, no, no,
Ownership wanted Deshaun Watson. They wanted him to come in.

(17:17):
They needed to switch at quarterback because they felt like
that was what was going to take them to the
next level. That was not a Stefanski call. That was ownership.
So Stefanski said, okay, fine, fine, fair enough, We'll deal
with Deshaun Watson. Okay, he's suspended for the first eleven games,
and then when he does get in the lineup, it
just doesn't look anything close to what it looked like

(17:38):
when he was at his peak in Houston, anywhere close
so much so that he gets injured. They bring in
Joe Flacco, who's not even playing at the time, and
all of a sudden, Joe Flacco goes on a heater.
The Browns make the postseason, and what does ownership do
the very next offseason instead of just like rolling with

(17:59):
the guy or keeping him as a backup to Deshaun Watson.
When Watson is healthy the next year, what do the
Browns do Now we don't need him, even though he
won Comeback Player of the Year and he beat out
DeMar Hamlet and almost died on the field. Then don't
worry about any of that. No, we're just gonna go
in this other direction. We're gonna go with Deshaun Watson.
Joe can go find workouts where Okay, So Kevin Stefanski

(18:21):
had to just go along with that as well. Too,
just had to deal with that too, okay, And then
what happened, Well, what do you think happened? It looked awful.
It was brutal, and Kevin stefanskis sitting there looking at
two Coach of the Year awards realizing, yeah, I'm not

(18:42):
really being put in a good spot here. Okay, but
maybe maybe they're gonna do me a solid because you
know what they're gonna do. They're gonna bring back my guy,
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is gonna come back and everything's
gonna be fine. And so then what his ownership do
after that? They say, why do we make things even
harder for you than we already have. We're gonna a
draft Dylan Gabriel, somebody we liked, somebody we saw perform,

(19:05):
you know, did our due diligence, but we're going to
take him in the third round. Maybe he could develop
into something, a younger quarterback. Oh and then we're going
to draft shad Or Sanders Sweet And what's happened since
the entire discussion about the Browns, which should be about
the fact that their defense is unbelievable, the entire discussion

(19:28):
about the Browns is when should when should organ to
get to play? When should organ to get to play?
He started one preseason game he played well, but then
he struggled in another one. When should or should or
should or? Everything is about should or Sanders so much
so that there's an interview that comes out on Thursday

(19:49):
from ESPN Cleveland where they go into the locker room
and they ask should or Sanders about a or do
you feel like you're ready to play? Yeah, I think
I'm ready to play, you know, and should or Sanders
makes the you know, this is always a good one
when like you're not participating, but you say you could
do it better than the other people who can? You know,
that's always a good one. It's like, you know, I
like it doesn't make any sense, but he's you know,

(20:09):
if you look at the quarterback play around the league,
you know, I definitely think I'm capable of being better
than that. You know, just you're just par for the course,
typical you know, conversation from shoot or you like the confidence.
I don't really like the approach, but whatever. And so
of course Kevin Stefanski has to be asked about that,
and this was his response.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Guys feel like they're ready.

Speaker 7 (20:30):
Mary Kay, and they're working very hard at it. We
do a lot of work with our players, rookies, fats
of all our guys, spending every available minute that we
have with them getting them ready physically, mentally, whether it's
in the weight room of the meeting room, out on
the field. So all our guys are working fair hard.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So he's got to answer questions from Mary Kay Cavit,
who's covered the Browns for a long time. He's got
to answer questions about the third quarterback because why because
he was put in a position by ownership yet again,

(21:10):
with the impossible task of having to do exactly that
as they get ready for a game. Meanwhile, I'm not
sure that there was an interview done with the starter,
and I'm not sure that there was an interview done
with the backup. And Kevin Stefanski is having to again reiterate, Hey,
so there's more to this team than the third string
quarterback that we drafted in the fifth round because ownership

(21:32):
wanted to make the call on that, much like ownership
wanted to make the call on de Shan Watson, much
like ownership didn't want to bring back Joe Flacco when
we probably could have used him as a back, and
Stefanski's having to again be the windshield for the decisions
that ownership has made. And they always tell you, hey, man,

(21:54):
it's one of thirty two jobs. Is one I can
assure you. When he finally is gone from Cleveland and
he leaves elsewhere, he's going to get another opportunity to
be a head coach, because there's probably people in the
NFL that look at Kevin Stefanski's situation and go, damn man,
Just imagine if he had somebody upstairs who had his

(22:15):
back a little bit. Just imagine, just imagine. It's like
the old adage. Bill Parcell said it when he was
with the Cowboys. You know, hey, they want you to
cook the dinner. They had to at least let you
shop for the groceries. And Stefansy, He's like, listen, I'm
not asking for much. Can I just get zero drama
at the quarterback position? Just zero Just let me do

(22:36):
my thing, That's all I'm asking for. And he's got
to answer questions about the third stringer for what and look,
should or Sanders should be confident? Should or Sanders should
have all the confidence in the world, like he did
do some good things at Colorado, but you would already

(23:00):
drafted a quarterback in the third round. They're like you,
like you traded for Kenny Pickett. What what was the
sense in this? Like what was? Like?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
What? Why?

Speaker 3 (23:14):
And that's all that's happened since. Is the conversation about
should or Sanders? When I ask you Cleveland Brown's pre
season conversation, what was it? Go should or Sanders, quarterback
on the Browns who spoke this week to the media,
Go should or Sanders? Can you think, like, how many

(23:34):
third string quarterbacks can you name around the NFL? Honest
to Cott other than Jameis Winston, by the way, was
with the Browns or they didn't need him? Remember he
actually actually won a game with the brown But like
you can't. And that's why people always say, like, man,
you know, you never want a backup quarterbacks who's louder

(23:54):
than the starter. It's just probably not a good thing
because then the conversation is all about that and not
on there. And it's even it's like a third string quarterback,
which is fine. It's not a knock on him being
a third stringer, Like he'll probably eventually get his opportunity.
But Kevin Stefanski shouldn't have shouldn't be answering questions about this.
He shouldn't have to do this, But he has to.

(24:15):
Not so much because of shoud Or Sanders, because should
Or Sanders's gonna do what he's gonna do, but because
he was put again in an awful situation from ownership again.
So I go back to the original point. Kevin Stefanski
doesn't want to be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
He can never say it publicly, He can never come

(24:37):
out and tell his team that. But when Kevin, you
remember the story we heard when Joe Douglass got fired
by the Jets, he went and had a beer and
when fishing, it's like the most relaxed and relieved he
ever was. Hey man, that's sweet. Oh boy, wait to
ruin my day. Kevin Sevanski's gonna get his walking papers
from the Browns and he's gonna go home. He's gonna

(24:58):
have a couple of beers, hang out with his family
and be like, don't worry, we'll be in a better
spot next time. His resume speaks for itself. The problem is,
so does the owners at the Jonas knocks on X
at Jonas Knockshaw on Instagram. By the way, we are
brought to you by Louisiana Hot Sauce. The original Louisiana
Hot Sauce is the perfect balance of Pepper's vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers,

(25:22):
hit any tailgate food with the bold, handcrafted flavor of
the original Louisiana Hot Sauce. That's Louisiana Hot by you
some All right, it's coming up next here we are
going to hand out an award. It's our TGFG game
of the Week. That'll be yours here on FSR. But
for all the latest, we turn it over to the
man himself. He's Louisiana Hot and he's not even from there,

(25:44):
the one and only Sir Isaac Longcral.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
This is going to sound like an insult, but it's
really not. It's actually more of a factual observation. The
darkness of your aura causes a cosmic disturbed in sporting
activities across the threshold of the land. Translation. When you
take the airwaves, weird bleat suddenly breaks out everywhere. Do

(26:11):
you take that as an insult or is that just
a factual statement?

Speaker 3 (26:14):
No, that's a compliment. Okay, that's what I thought. Listen,
Mike Carmon gave me one of the great compliments I've
received when Mike Carman told me years ago, he said,
you have this inate ability to bring out the worst
of everybody around you. Thanks Man.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
I cannot, oh, I cannot agree with that or emphasize
that enough. I probably smokes meat that captures it perfectly.
Because of some of the incidents that have occurred today
that I'm about to detail, and I think there's a

(26:50):
direct correlation with you being on the air. We start
with the college football scoreboard, and then we'll get to
the piece the resistance here. First of all, you've got
Wake Forest leading number sixteen Georgia Tech twenty to three.
They have eight minutes and five seconds left to play
in the third quarter. Number twenty three Illinois holding on

(27:11):
to a seventeen to ten lead over a number twenty
one USC with eight and a half minutes left in
the third quarter. Number twenty two Notre Dame of forty
two to thirteen lead at Arkansas five point fifty four
left to play in the third quarter. Notre Dame quarterback CJ.
Card nineteen of twenty six for three fourteen four touchdown
passes number eighteen. Vanderbilt is back out in front of

(27:33):
Utah State thirty one to twenty one at halftime. Now
Pitt up twenty seven to twenty over Louisville five minutes
into a third quarter. And the reason we're relaying that
to you is because earlier in this game, Jonas pitts
Reshim Biles had a seventy five yard pick six touchdown. Now,

(27:54):
after the pick six, a ball boy tried to take
the ball from Bile, but Biles wanted to keep it
as a souvenir. The ball boy would not give up.
The ball boy wrestled the ball away from Biles. Biles
then peanut punched the ball out of the ball boy's

(28:15):
hands to a teammate. The ball boy then grabbed the teammate,
who tossed the ball back to Biles, while the teammate
did what can best be described as a Manu Genobili
like flop after being grabbed by the ball boy. Biles
then absconded with the souvenir and delivered it to a

(28:40):
family member in the front row. So we had a
ball boy pit football player physical confrontation on the sidelines. Now,
speaking of physical incidents. The Chicago Cubs today placed pitcher
Kate Horton on the fifteen day injured list with a
broken right rib on the field. The Yankees up three
nothing over the Os In the bottom of the fifth inning,

(29:01):
Aaron Judges fifty third home run. Cubs have a one
nothing lead over the Cardinals after one inning at regularly.
Now let's turn finally to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage
Black in New York. Europe leads Team USA eight and
a half to three and a half, and Europe has
won three of today's four completed matches thus far. And

(29:25):
I've got another incident that is probably somehow caused by you, Jonas.
But the domination by Europe over Team USA got so
bad that on the final whole of one of the
morning matches, Team Europe's Rory McElroy told a heckling American
fan to quote shut the bleep up unquote. McElroy then

(29:49):
proceeded to nail a superb approach shot to clinch the match,
which then led the British commentators to do some trash
talking of their own, or should I say rubbish talking,
But anyway, here is the incident in fully shut.

Speaker 9 (30:04):
Them apologies for the language, their infistrations set of boiling over.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
If he likes it, absolutely magnificent.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Do not try and irritate some of these boys out here,
because they will to scold every time we get into
the quiet.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
So there you have it, Jonas, Thanks to your mere
presence on the air, we have a ball boy fight
in college football, and we have British commentators rubbish talking
US Americans back to you.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Okay, can I listen the golf stuff like this is
what really annoys me about golf is that at its core,
it is a well to do, preppy, air again sport.
Yet they try and infiltrate it with all this grime

(31:05):
and dirt to make it relatable. It's like, dude, stop,
you can't even wear jeans at the course. What are
we talking about it. It's a true story. It's a
true story. It's just it's red. Here's the other thing
I thought, I'm sorry, go ahead, the true story.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
Oh okay, no about the jeans. Yeah, so there was
a there's I'll just say it out loud. The Riviera
country Club. I was once invited to a gathering there
at the Riviera. I went on their website to try
and find their dress code. Couldn't find anything about a
dress code on their site. I went up. I went there,

(31:40):
Like you said, in jeans, you would have thought the SWAT.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Team was descending on me.

Speaker 8 (31:47):
Oh god, oh yes, oh yeah, you would have thought
it was the SWAT team descending on someone from the
FBI's ten Most Wanted True story. So I had to
borrow almost at gunpoint point pants that they had somewhere
on site that were like three sizes too big.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Back to you, Jonas, I can remember, it's like, some
of these dress codes have got it. It's got to stop.
And I don't know, I don't know how many places
necessarily have it anymore, because like nowadays, so many things
are accepted. I can remember going to a place one
time and they're like, and they weren't gonna let me
in because I had a white T shirt on, Like,
what's what's the problem. You can't wear T shirts? No
you can't. It just can't be a white one. Another

(32:26):
threat averted, And I guess the reason was is because
there was a gang locally that wore white T shirts.
Oh geez, So wait a second, so they've got the
patent on white T shirts. That gang like, like, whoever
the gang is, Like, nobody else can wear a white
T shirt.

Speaker 8 (32:42):
They were they like some sort of polite gang who
went around doing favors and chores and helping old ladies
across the street and their white T shirts or something.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Nah, haven't they got a reputation? There's been some documentaries
done about them, But you know, let's just I mean,
it's a legitimate gang. But I'm like, come on, man,
do I look like a gang member? Okay? Does a
game member have this dumb tattoo? You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Like?

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Please, like they at least like give their give the
artists of their work a little bit more credit than
the one that I got. But here's the other thing.
On the ballboys scuffle in the pit game. When I
first saw the video, I thought it was like an
elaborate celebration they were doing with one of the team assistants.
Me too, me too. No, they were legitimately assaulting the
ball boy.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
The ball boy is like doing he's doing close quarters
combat in slacks.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
To Isaac.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Isaac, I said, at the get go, you had a
feel it was gonna be a weird weekend. You just
had a feeling it was gonna be a weird weekend
in college football. It just like it just it had
all the aura needed to be weird. It started with
the storming of the field in Virginia, the awful fumble call,
like it just there's a bunch of great matchups, and
now you got a ball boy getting assaulted, like it

(33:53):
just it's a weird weekend in college football.

Speaker 8 (33:55):
And then New Orleans Saints have just signed the ball
boy to their practice squad.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Back to you, oh got who get a stat that
you made? I mean and by the way, you know,
based on the other running back there and his behavior
in close quarters, you know, be careful if you're the
New Orleans Saints. All right, so they get Isaac Longcrown.
It is Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio. We
are going to have another edition of Do You Care

(34:18):
coming up here less than ten minutes from now. But
right now it is time to hand out an award
here on the show, and that award is our TGFG
Game of the Week, and that award goes.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
To in week four. Jet said, Dolphins, O.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Baby, I know what you're thinking here, Well, what are
you talking about? This game's on Monday night football. Yeah,
this game's so great, there's going to be another one
going on at the same time. That's right, We've got
double barrel Monday Night Football action coming up in a
couple of days from now. But the Jets and the Dolphins,
And it's not even the fact that both these teams
are winless, it's not even that. But when the big

(34:55):
story of com and top of the conversation this week
is about what Cam Newton thinks of the Dolphins starting quarterback,
that tells you everything you need to know about this
quote unquote pivotal AFC East battle. The Jets are a
bad team, the Dolphins are a bad team. Neither's going
to the playoffs, yet both are featured in quote unquote

(35:17):
prime time on Monday Night Football. So congratulations to the
Jets and the Dolphins are TGFG Game of the Week
for Week four in the NFL. Because if not for gambling,
who would have given a riff about this game? So
thank God for gambling, and thank God for the gambling
gods giving us the Jets and Dolphins, because that's the

(35:39):
only reason this thing is going to be watchable coming
up on Monday Night. And by the way, speaking of gambling,

Speaker 2 (36:46):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time,
DMZRE 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 3 (37:01):
And for that we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benzon to find out what the hell's going on?

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Bo.

Speaker 10 (37:06):
Yeah, the Oklahoma State Cowboys finally pulled the plug. They
fired their head coach, Mike Gundhy. I believe Oklahoma State
lost it's ulsa at home on a Friday, right, I believe?

Speaker 1 (37:18):
So?

Speaker 10 (37:19):
Yeah, So you knew this was coming. They had all
weekend to do it, but they did, in fact, wait
until one day after the anniversary of his I'm a man,
I'm forty rant. Jonas, do you care about his firing
and do you think they purposefully avoided firing him on
that day?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:35):
I care about that I'm a man, I'm forty. They
probably did. It also makes a little more awkward. Isn't
there a commercial running right now where he's doing that
I'm a man, I'm forty. I hope. So I think
there's a commercial running where he's like, it's like, you know,
him sort of making fun of the rant, but in
promoting something else. Look, here's here's the part that's rough

(37:56):
about this for Mike Gandy. Mike Gundy, I believe is
fifty eight. He's been in Stillwater for thirty five years
in some capacity. He was a player, he was a
longtime assistant, then he took over his head coach at
a really successful run for over two decades. Only Kirk
Farns has been at a program longer during that time.

(38:17):
And so if you're Mike Gundy, the thought would be, well,
he's been successful, he could just go coach elsewhere. It's
not that easy. I mean, I know he probably wants
to coach, he wants to prove he can still do it,
but it's not that easy.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Man.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
That's thirty five years of his life, majority of his
life in one place. Sad to see it come to
an end, but probably not that surprising for anybody who's
watched Oklahoma State over the past eleven twelve games.

Speaker 10 (38:41):
Next Mariners catcher Cal Rawly will finish the season with
at least sixty home runs. Jonas, do you care? Yeah,
it's unbelievable, dude.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
And by the way, it's such because he's got one
of the better nicknames we've seen in the Big Dumper.
But the fact that he's doing it as a catcher,
a switch hitting catcher is mind bog like just to
see the numbers he's put up. And so when you
see the names that he's on the list of names
at the sixty plus home run club and the American

(39:11):
Leave in the American League, magical stuff. And we'll see
what they can get done in the postseason next.

Speaker 10 (39:16):
Forty nine Ers defensive coordinator Robert Sala is reportedly on
high alert over what he calls the Jaguars legal legal
signal stealing system.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Jonas, do you care? No, I don't care about this.
I mean, here's why I don't care. I'm just under
the impression and under the assumption that everybody's stealing from everybody, honestly, Like,
I don't like this whole Ooh they stole signs, they say, Okay,
well look man, like that happens in every sport. If
you could, if you have some sort of intel on somebody,
or you're watching field, like if you're watching the all

(39:48):
twenty twos of a game, and you can tell that
whenever the coach uses a certain signal that that team's
going to run a certain play or a certain formation,
are you going to go into your meet with your
team and be like, hey, whatever we do, ignore what
that coach is doing because we want to make sure
this is all on the up and up. No, there's
cameras everywhere, everybody's watching everything. It's why the Tom Brady

(40:11):
quote unquote conflict of interest stuff was kind of laughable,
because if people wanted to get information, they could. If
they didn't want to give you information, it's not that
hard to just give you. So, like, I think this
stuff is more prevalent than people realize. But just when
we make a big to do about it is because
it's stealing sign stealing, and everybody just assumes it's the

(40:31):
Astros banging trash cans, which was egregious.

Speaker 10 (40:34):
Next, the Tea Wolves and the Sixers both introduced the
return of their black jerseys earlier this week. Jonas, do
you care?

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Oh god, no, no, no, no, no, no, no not
at all.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Come on, cool. Oh you guys are bringing out new jerseys. Awesome.
Can't wait to break that down during football season. Next.

Speaker 10 (40:52):
Leo DiCaprio's new film, One Battle After Another, opened yesterday,
and while on the New Heights podcast with the Kelsey Brothers,
he mentioned that in Old Agent told him to go
by the name Lenny Williams.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Jonas, do you care? You know, I actually do kind
of care about this. I love my first radio job
in Charleston, South Caroline. Well on like first actual hired
radio job where I was getting paid about four bucks
an hour. It seemed like my actual first radio job.
There was another guy at the station whose name was Jonas,
so for a short time I had to go as

(41:23):
j Knox, and I was so upset about it. I
just went as J Dot Knox. So listen, I can relate. Man,
It sucks when somebody else tries to change your name
or take something from you. You know, the weirdness will continue.
It's going to continue not only on this Saturday for
college football, but all the way through Sunday and bright
and early at that. We'll get into it coming up

(41:44):
here in just a couple of moments from now. Jonas

You can find this show on hundreds of affiliates all
across the country. You know, a lot of positive feedback
is rolling in on the show thus far. People are

(42:28):
really really happy about what we've done. Ben Wright's in
go pms about your bleep and embarrassing US Ryder Cup
team like you, they are a well, I can't repeat that,
but look, I think the moral of this story is
is don't try and push a golf event on us

(42:49):
during football season. The reason why the US is struggling
in the Ryder Cup is because they're probably focused on football. Man,
They've probably got fantasy team, they probably got all this stuff.
And you know, the guys over in Europe. You know,
the guys over in Europe, they don't have to worry
about that, man, because they don't watch football. You know,
like they got other things going on, they're not watching football.

(43:12):
But if I would encourage this, I would encourage the
golfers over for Team Europe. I would take advantage of
this advantage that you got while you got it, because
pretty soon you're gonna have football to care about. I mean,
that's if you. You know, listen to Roger Goodell. Roger Goodell,
the commissioner of the NFL. He's making the rounds talking about,

(43:34):
oh yeah, man, NFL teams won in. Teams want to
be a part of this global expansion, teams want to
be a part of this European takeover, and et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. And look, I get it. I
get the financial component to it. I get the financial
aspect that goes along with it. I know that money talks,

(43:56):
and I know that the NFL is all about that
bottom line. I totally get it, totally understand it. They're
trying to grow the game, they're trying to expand to
other markets. They're trying to have an international game every weekend.
And the reason this is coming up now, and the
reason that this conversation has popped up yet again, is

(44:20):
because the NFL is going over to Europe for the
first time this season. They're going to be over in
Dublin in Ireland coming up tomorrow. Because you've got the
Steelers and you've got the Vikings, and you know Aaron
Rodgers is And by the way, let me just point
this out. Not nice, not nice what the NFL is doing. Okay,

(44:42):
not nice what the NFL schedule makers did. Not nice
at all. Jordan Addison's first game off of suspension because
he was bending the elbow too much and getting behind
the wheel of a car to take a nap next
to Lax and the first game back, you got to
send him over to Dublin where they're a pub every
ten feet. Not nice. That's not nice at all. That

(45:06):
would be like if the Browns changed all the signage
in the building to neon lights with feet glowing every
time Deshaun Watson walked to the building. Like it's just that,
it's not a nice thing to do to one of
your players. So hopefully everything works out fine and everything's
gonna be okay and everybody's gonna be all right. I'm

(45:27):
just I'm just saying I feel like they could have
maybe planned that a little bit better. Maybe a home game,
you know, maybe like maybe it's like, you know, maybe
like just you feel like you could have planned a
little bit better. Guys, first game back, you know, he
likes to lick the lid a little bit, and they
send him over to Dublin. You know, feels like it
feels like a cruel and unusual way to schedule game.
But I digress. So, you know, the NFL's going over

(45:50):
to Dublin and they've got, you know, all this conversation
about we're gonna globally expand and we're gonna do this
and we're gonna you know, it's like, Okay, I understand
that we're eventually going to get there, but can we
also acknowledge not the most ideal situation for NFL players,

(46:13):
Not even just Jordan Addison. Aaron Rodgers, you know, spent
time talking about how much he loves Guinness, but he
also talked about, Yeah, I wish we would have come
over a little bit sooner. I wish we, you know,
could have had a few more days. It's like to
throw this in the middle of a season and to
think about wanting to do that sixteen times in a
year or every single week is a lot to ask,

(46:37):
like you're putting a lot of people in a bad spot.
And again, I acknowledge that it's eventually going to get there,
and we're eventually going to get to that point to
where the NFL is going to go international and they're
going to try and grow the game. It just there's
something about it that it's like, all right, now, it's now,
we're now, we're really going above and beyond, Like now, now,

(46:59):
now you're really And it's for the people that are
just watching on television, like what do we care? Right,
I mean, we're not even there, Like what do we care?
But there is a different vibe attached to it, you know,
there is a different a different buzz attached to it.
And they want to set up a division in Europe.
They want to have that be the case. I just
wonder how many players in the NFL, or how many

(47:22):
football players coming into the NFL or with choices in
free agency, are going to say, no, no, no, we'd rather
go live over there than here. We'd rather deal with
that travel than over here. Like we're eventually going to
get there. I just think that the NFL has got
a lot of work to do to make it make
complete sense. The money makes sense. And I can tell

(47:43):
you this from being over there for a college game
a couple of years ago when we had the aer
Lingus event where it was Notre Dame and Navy. They
can absolutely put on an event there in Dublin at
one hundred percent, like and it was well done. It
was well planned, They were accommodating, the people were as
kind as could be, Like, it was a fun environment.

(48:06):
The crowd enjoyed, like they really wrap their arms around
the idea of that. But I just wonder, you know,
if you're a player, are you signing up for that
for you know, traveling back and forth like you like
you want that like in a consistent rotation or I
actually think the Brazil game is the best idea because
that's at the start of the year and you're not

(48:29):
throwing it in the middle of a season. You're not
throwing it after Hey we just finished up on Sunday.
We've got this, this, this, and this, Like it takes
everybody out of their routine and now you're just kind
of scrambling to like, oh okay, so now we've got
to get back on track here. It's like, at least
in the Brazil game first week of the season. You
open up there, you can get out there sooner, and

(48:50):
you probably got to shake it off a little bit
when you get back. But it just feels like that
makes a little bit more sense than just middle of
the season. We're going to start throwing teams over in London,
which is why they want to set up a division,
why they want to set or in Dublin or London
or Mexico or Brazil. Like early in the year makes
the most sense to just throw players out there and

(49:12):
just say, all right, here, it's week four. Everybody get
on a plane, fly for seven hours over to Dublin,
play a game, then come back and just back to normal.
That one, to me doesn't add up. But the NFL
is going to grow this game. I just think they
got to figure out how to space these things out
a little bit if they want to make it, make
it more sense for players to want to be a
part of it, and for players like Rogers not to

(49:33):
complain about the timing of their arrival because they do
have a gripe. It's Rogers, so of course he's going
to get his balls broken for it, But they do
have a gripe. At the Jonas Knocks on X at
Jonas Knox Show on Instagram. By the way, update on
the Top twenty five matchup the five Top twenty five
on Top twenty five matchup of note on Fox. Illinois

(49:53):
now has a thirty one to seventeen lead over USC
in the fourth quarter, and for everybody saying the USC's back, look,
this appears to be the same kind of USC team
that we've seen over the past number of years. To
what they're getting beaten at the line of scrimmage. Jordan

(50:16):
Mayava has struggled in this game more so than he
has in any game this season, and so now we
get to see whether or not USC on the road
in the early vaunted noon Eastern time, eleventh Central Time
window nine o'clock Local time. For USC, now we get
to see whether or not they can come back because
they are trailing thirty one to seventeen. The fourth quarter

(50:36):
had just started a short time ago. If you're just
joining us, the lead should probably be even even more
for Illinois. For being honest here, that should probably be
thirty eight seventeen. But one of the worst calls you
will ever see is Illinois fumbling the ball near the
goal line before half. They review it. You can clearly

(50:56):
see the Illinois player is down. Yet they say there's
not enough to over turn it, and so because of that,
Illinois loses the football. US gets at the tack on
a field goal. So Illinois's bounced back. They've overcome that.
Nobody can make sense of the call, and they do
have a lead there in Champagne thirty one seventeen over
usc USC's got the football as they approach midfield, trying

(51:18):
to make something of this game. We will keep you
posting on that throughout the course of this show, all right,
So coming up next here, there is a conversation that
needs to be had because many people are up in
arms about this, all right. Many people are upset, many
people are bothered. Hot takes are flying around left and right.
But if you add a little bit of nuance to
this NFL conversation, you can kind of see the point

(51:43):
somebody's making about a current quarterback in the NFL. That'll
be yours right here on Fox Sports Radio, Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio, coming up a little over ten minutes
from now. There is a some rumblings of bigger issues

(52:04):
than just the fact that a team is struggling in
the NFL. That'll be yours here coming up a little
over ten minutes from now. By the way, a lot
of positive feedback coming in on the show here, a
lot of people really fired up about what we've done
through an hour plus here on FSR, Maddie writes in
this show is nothing but an embarrassment to broadcast radio.

(52:27):
Jonas is the US Ryder Cup version of radio. Keep
Jimmy Kimmel and get rid of this ass clown. I'd
rather watch LeVar guzzle beers than listen to this clown boy.

Speaker 9 (52:40):
I mean, who's Kimmel? I don't what is what?

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Oh? You mean like the guy? Everybody was outraged that
show that I didn't watch initially and that I wasn't
going to watch afterwards. Oh that one, okay, I just
was wondering. By the way, the the LeVar guzzling beers.
Congratulations to far he was on game day brought out
the stick City Logger ripping a beer at betts In

us there.

Get your tickets today at Harlem Globetrotters dot com. All right, So,
the conversation surrounding Russell Wilson, who was pointed out in
one of those rude tweets, I believe the the exact

(54:55):
wordage on that was you're the broke, useless and f
boy version of Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
All right.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
So we were talking earlier in the show about how
Kevin Stefanski's got this issue, and it's an issue because
ownership has put him in a difficult spot again, because
if you go through the history at quarterback for the
Brown since Stefanski's been there, there's been some, i guess,
less than ideal decisions made, moving on from Baker Mayfield,

(55:25):
bringing in to Shaun Watson, h bringing in Joe Flacco,
and then when he did have success, letting him walk
the next year, eventually bringing him back, but only after
you trade it for a quarterback and then drafted two
And the one who gets the most coverage and the
most people talk about is the fifth round draft pick,
the guy who's third on the depth chart, should or Sanders,

(55:48):
And so Kevin Stefanski's having to answer questions about should
Or Sanders telling ESPN Cleveland a couple of days ago
that if you look at the quarterback play around the league,
he's definitely capable of being better than that and all that.
So it's like, all right, well, listen, you know, probably
not a great thing for shitt Or to do probably
not you know, probably not ideal, but the fact that
Kevin Stefanski's having to answer questions about it, the fact

(56:11):
that that the conversation is about a backup and not
a starter says something like that. That tells you about
the big picture on this. And so I bring that
up because the conversation with the Giants this weekend as
they take on the Chargers, should be about the debut

(56:34):
of Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart was a guy who was
drafted in the first round and Jackson Dart's going to
get an opportunity and he will be starting for the Giants,
and it's a big opportunity. And he looked great in
the preseason and everything you hear from people, and Albert
Breer was on with us this week on Fox Sports Radio,
and Albert Breer pointed out that, man, you know, even

(56:55):
in the preseason, even leading up into that, the Giants
wore quietly, really really impressed with Jackson Dart. Like teammates,
everybody was raving about him, and they didn't want to
they didn't want to go overboard, they didn't want to.
But then when you saw it in the preseason, nobody
was there was surprised, and so they feel like he's ready.

(57:15):
Let's give him an opportunity, Let's give him a shot.
Whether this has anything to do with Brian Daball's jobbing
in Jeopardy and Brian day Balls saying, hey, look, man,
I want to start this rookie. I want to show
that I'm the guy to groom him into the future.
Who knows, but Jackson Dart according to the people there,
According to Albert Greer, he's the goods. So he's gonna

(57:37):
get his opportunity. So that right there should be the
story instead, much like with the Cleveland Browns, the story
is about a backup. In this case, the story is
about Russell Wilson, and things really ratcheted up when Richard
Sherman had this to say about his former teammate Thursday

(58:00):
on Amazon Prime Video.

Speaker 11 (58:06):
I think you got to judge his career off. When
the legion the boom was there, he had a legendary
defense and all time defense, and how much success he had,
and then without that legendary defense, the success he had,
without that legendary defense, he's been four and eleven, seven
and eight on in three to start with the Giants,
Like that's he was a winning football player in Seattle,
and people said, hey, winning his football player, all this

(58:27):
good stuff, all these accolades, and now you get to
go on your own and you get to crew pay.
I'm this great quarterback, I'm this guy that's going to
be dominant, and it just hasn't worked.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Out that way.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
So Richard Sherman got a lot of blowback because of that.
I know RG three called out Tony Gonzalez and Richard Sherman.
I know many people have taken their shots at Richard
Sherman about oh, well, you know, how could you And
it's like, okay, well look there's a couple of things
going on there. Clearly, Richard Sherman's not the biggest fan

(58:59):
of Russell will Clearly Richard Sherman was while criticizing Russell
Wilson also trying to elevate his time in Seattle, talk
about the legion of boom like all of that. Listen,
all of that is fair, All of that makes sense.
I get it. I understand how people could look at
that and say, how could you do that? But I

(59:20):
also understand this that the conversation about what Russell Wilson
was after Seattle is a real conversation. I'm sorry, it
just is and this is not to knock the guy
personally or anything like that. Things have just been weird.
They've been weird. Mike Russell Wilson, even after the legion

(59:45):
of boom dominant days, was a fantastic quarterback in Seattle.
Like if Russell Wilson's career ended right at the Seattle Era,
like that was his final year and the last four
or five years didn't count, you could argue he's a
Hall of Famer. I got they get like a nine
ten time prob Like he like great years, Like he

(01:00:07):
was really good when Marshawn Lynch went down or left.
Remember like the Russell Wilson Doug Baldwin connection, they were fantastic,
Like he was great. But it's not the fact that
he left Seattle and he went elsewhere and it just
didn't work. It's the fact that he that was kind
of forced in Seattle. Like you got the impression that

(01:00:31):
they probably could have made things work and there probably
could have been a future there with Russell Wilson. And
then all of a sudden, remember that report came out
Russell Wilson had four teams he wanted to go to
the Giants, the Saints, the Bears, the Raid, like and
all these like you know, conversations, and then like he
gets to Seattle, he gets the deal, and then they
get there and the first game is against the Seahawks,

(01:00:53):
and you got the Nathaniel Hackett disaster, and he got
all these different things that have happened since, like Pittsburgh
and the Giants. It just all of it just hasn't
gone well. And so I know that people want to
push back on Richard Sherman, and I guess rightfully so

(01:01:13):
from the standpoint that he's trying to elevate his time
while taking a shot at Russell Wilson. But he's not wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
Post Seattle, it hasn't gone well, and he was one
of the reasons why he's not in Seattle, Like he
made a choice, I would be better elsewhere and he's
been significantly worse. All of that should be on the table,
and all of that is fair to discuss all of it,
But people just want to look at Richard and it's like, oh, well,

(01:01:42):
you know, how could you do that? Do you say
it's like RG threeson do you say the same thing
about Eli Manning. It's like, well, no, they don't say
the same thing about Eli Manning, because Eli Manning didn't
willingly want out of the Giants and say I could
go be better elsewhere. Russell Wilson did and then he
went elsewhere and it was a mess, and you heard

(01:02:05):
all these stories about how difficult he was his later
days in Seattle, and all these stories about and I
think that there's probably some resentment from the legion of
Boom guys, from the Seahawks guys, because they look at
that and go, man, we should have been called a
dynasty or close too. We were in that Super Bowl.
We run the ball from the one yard line. None
of this happens if Russ doesn't throw that pick. But

(01:02:26):
is that on Russell Wilson or Pete Carroll on the
It's like, so, I understand the resentment that Richard Sherman
would have, and that some people would be critical of
Richard Sherman, But he's not wrong, man. Things have looked different.
When you want to leave a place and you think
you could be better elsewhere and you've made multiple stops
and it's gotten worse, there's something to be said about that.

(01:02:48):
At the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knocks
on X and you can hang out with us as
always on Instagram at Jonas Knox Show. Coming up next
here though some rumblings about some major function in drama
with one team in the NFL. We'll get into that
for you right here on FSR. But for all the
latest from around the world of sports, including what is

(01:03:09):
the situation in Champagne, the one and only Champagne of
Sports Talk Radio. Isaac longkar right, you are a nice
bottle of eighty seven Ballinger perhaps, so here's what's going
on and this is total Jonas Knox inspired insanity. Number
twenty three Illinois holding on to a thirty one to

(01:03:29):
twenty five lead over number twenty one USC with four
minutes and fifty seconds left in the fourth quarter, USC
making it a one score game. When Jade and Mayaba
threw a nineteen yard touchdown passed to Makayi Lemon on
a fourth and sixth they added the two point conversion
to make it a six point game.

Speaker 8 (01:03:46):
Then, just moments ago, Illinois had a first intent at
the USC twelve yard line. Khalil Valentine of Illinois was
on his way into the end zone but was stripped
by us. He's Eric Gentry, Us, he's Christian Piers recover
the fumble in the end zone for a touchback. Here's
how it sounded, and Jonas, I'm not sure the sounds

(01:04:08):
that you're about to hear come out of Gus Johnson's
mouth have ever been uttered by a human being the type,
the octave and the timber listened.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Us has a football.

Speaker 8 (01:04:30):
Chicago never heard a human voice reach that sort of octave.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
I mean, Isaac, you're a you're an accomplished broadcaster, or
you're a play by play guy. Have you ever heard
somebody do that? Or have you ever heard somebody who
can do that just like it could have. He's got
the ability to do that, and it's like, oh, yeah,
that's what we're talking about. Anybody else does that? And
it's like a punchline.

Speaker 8 (01:04:59):
He has got a one in a generation larynx, Ladies
and gentlemen, So again, thirty one to twenty five, Illinois
try to hold on three sixteen left to play in
the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
USC's ball.

Speaker 8 (01:05:10):
Meanwhile, wake Forest up twenty three to twenty over sixteenth
rank Georgia Tech with three point fifty five left to
play in the fourth quarter. Wake Forest has the ball
a first and ten at its seven yard line. Eighteenth
rank Vanderbilt leading Utah State forty eight to twenty one
four minutes into the fourth quarter. Number twenty two Notre

(01:05:31):
Dame as one at Arkansas fifty six to thirteen. Baseball,
the Cubs plays pitcher Cad Horton on the fifteen day
injured list with a broken rib. Right now, they're tied
with the Cardinals at one in the fifth inning at Wrigley.
The Yankees leading the Orioles six to one top of
the ninth inning. Aaron Judge's fifty third home run in
the first inning. Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays are

(01:05:52):
scoreless in the bottom of the second inning. And I've
tried to put this off for too long. Now the
latest at the Right Cup, Europe up eight and a
half to three and a half over Team USA. They've
taken three out of the four matches in the morning.
Right now, they are leading two of the four matches

(01:06:14):
that are going on presently.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
The other two are tied.

Speaker 8 (01:06:18):
And we also have a Ryder Cup Heckling update for you, Jonas.
This from Gabby Herzig, who is covering the Ryder Cup
for the athletic So apparently someone was heckling one of
the Team Europe competitors, John Rahm, who is from Spain.

(01:06:39):
Correct and the heckler yells, hey, rom toposs isn't food?
Sitting nearby. Coincidentally, world renowned Spanish born chef Jose Andres
who replied to the hecker tapus is food. So even

(01:07:02):
the hecklers from our fellow countryman Jonas are getting owned
at the Ryder Cup today.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Back to you, I mean, what wasn't the US kind
of running their mouth a little bit as well too, Like,
weren't they like kind of talking a little bit of
trash up into this event?

Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
And one of the fans did, and you know that's
set off Rory mcilroyin. It's been all downhill from there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
But I'll tell you what.

Speaker 8 (01:07:27):
I'll tell you what Europe We've got Gus Johnson's larynx.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
Larynx and you don't it.

Speaker 8 (01:07:34):
Isn't that right, Gus?

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
That's right? That is true?

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
And if you got that, what else do you really need?
You know, like, what else do you really need? Although
I would say this, the only thing that would maybe
help that larynx is original Louisiana Hot sauce. It's the
perfect balance of peppers, vinegar and salt. What a Sagatos
burs hit any tailgate food with the bold, hand crafted
flavor of the original Louisiana Hot sauce. That's Louisiana Hot

(01:08:04):
by you. Some also, I would recommend this if you're
having clam chowder at soup season coming up here eventually,
if you're having a New England clam chowder, a little
Louisiana Hot sauce in it, you know, at a little
at something to you, you know, Mago tastes even better
than already is. All right, So we are going to
have another edition of Knox Locks that will be yours
coming up here and a little over ten minutes from now.

(01:08:26):
Lots to discuss on that, Lots to discuss a real
bummer on multiple fronts, So we'll get into that for
you again here on fsr SO, Diana Rossini reported on
the Dan Lebotard Show that on the subject of the
Houston Texans, who have been one of the real disappointments

(01:08:47):
in the NFL this season, that you know, there's obviously
they're struggling, but she said that there's some things going
on behind the scenes that are going to come out
soon about the Houston Texans that there's some like, you know,
maybe some stuff going on behind the scenes there. And

(01:09:09):
how about this, how about the fact that they're just
not good? You know what I mean? Like do we
really need to know what's going on behind the scenes? Like, dude,
do we really need I mean, I guess you know,
if we're into the the oh god, you know, what's
the problem there? And what's the I mean, I could
tell you they were flawed last year they got a

(01:09:31):
Browns team, or or they were flawed last year they
got a Chargers team in the postseason that fell apart
after having an early lead. And then they get into
this year they've got an offensive coordinator change, which to
me was a little strange. That was a little strange.
Bobby Slowk was a guy who a year earlier was

(01:09:55):
being interviewed for head coaching opportunities, and after one up
and down year they fire him and bring in a
new OC. That's strange. That seemed that seems a little
bit odd. That was the guy who helped get C. J.
Stroud all the accolades he got his first year. They struggle,

(01:10:16):
They have a little bit of a down year year two,
and the next thing you know, Bobby Slowik is out.
That's a little odd, but Diana Rascina reports it, well,
you know, there's some things going on behind the scenes.
It's like, okay, well, I know what's happening in the
front yard. Like I don't really worry about what's in
the backyard. That's like, you know, the front of the
house is on fire, and everyone's like, yeah, but go

(01:10:37):
check out the pool. They just got it redone. Okay,
who cares. They're not good and they're probably not going
to the playoffs. Based on history, the numbers would suggest
if you start out the year zero and three, there's

(01:10:58):
four teams that have gone to the playoffs that I've
started out zero to three. Now, ironically, the Texans in
twenty eighteen were the last team to do so, but
nobody's done it since the expansion of the playoff format either,
So in the last five years, nobody's done it. And
so while everyone's looking around at the Texans going, God,
what's the problem? Maybe there's stuff behind the scenes. I
don't know. Maybe maybe there is, but I think a

(01:11:23):
lot of that started when they decided to make changes
on the staff, like why was You're watching c J.
Stroud take a beating this year and like, oh my god,
they got to fix the O line. Okay, so why'd
you get rid of Laromie Tunseel?

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:11:40):
Like, so what was that? And let's not forget, you know,
if we're looking around for answers as to what's going on,
let's not Let's also not forget that this is the
same organization who's got a history of you know, doing
some uh some questionable stuff, like they have been known
to make some decisions that you look at and go, wait,
what one and done? Coaches the Deshaun Watson's like this,

(01:12:05):
just you know, there's some things there. So I know that,
you know, people hear those words and say, God, there's
something more going on behind the scenes. All right, Maybe
there is. There probably is, maybe to be the juicy
story everybody wants, but like, pay no attention to that.
How about the fact that the product on the field
stinks and they made a lot of decisions Then you

(01:12:28):
look back on three weeks in and go, yeah, that
doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. At the
Jonas knocks on X at Jonas Knock Show on Instagram
and you can hang out with us is always on
the iHeartRadio app. A quick update from Champagne. USC's taken
the lead thirty two thirty one over Illinois. The aligne
I have the football with a first down and a

(01:12:50):
minute forty eight left to go as they approach approaching midfield.
They're in Champagne, so we'll keep you posting on that.
We'll have the update and the final on that when
we return and the return of Knox Locks. The Week
four edition is yours next year on FSR. Jonas Knox
Fox Sports Radio. Quick update in Champagne. USC has a

(01:13:15):
thirty two to thirty one lead over Illinois. Illinois's got
the football and a third down with thirty five seconds left.
If you've missed any of this game, Illinois had been
leading for majority of it. A fumble near the goal line.
This one actually a legitimate fumble, not like the one

(01:13:36):
that was ruled in the first half. What a joke
that was. But Illinois with a fumble near the goal line,
USC got the football back, they go down, they score,
and they take the lead thirty two to thirty one.
They have just called the timeout, so again, thirty five
seconds left to go, Illinois with a third and four
in usc territory. Is they're trying to pull off the

(01:13:59):
upset here with USSE. I believe around the seven point
favorite on the road. I believe a seven point favorite
on the road there in Champagne. So we will keep
you posted if that game goes final. While we were
still on the air, I'll make sure you stick around
after we go off the air a little over twelve
minutes from now, it'll be Carmen Vitali Tracy Sandler who
will be taking over these airwaves that if you've missed

will also send that out on Instagram as well too.
I'll attach a little link to that. You know, in
the ig Stories at Jonas Knox Show. I'll also go
ahead and post the insulting tweets that have been sent
over on the IG does as well too, So all
of it is yours there for you Instagram junkies if

(01:15:05):
you want to partake right now, though, it is time
for this lock it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
Let's locked it and knocks lucks.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
Oh man, I mean we got to talk about it.
It was looking good, It was looking glorious. The La
Chargers minus two and a half. How about that Cameron
Dicker Dicker the kicker with the game winner, Chargers bounce
back Keenan Allen all of a sudden, looks like he's
dropped ten years in age out there making plays. Chargers win.

(01:15:40):
I'm thinking, okay, we're off to a good start. The
Bears getting a point and a half against the Cowboys.
That game wasn't close. Thinking, oh man, we're two and oh.
We had an opportunity to go three and oh for
the first time this year. We even have an opportunity
to hit a three layer parlay, which you can do

(01:16:02):
all of that on DraftKings. And then we had the
Ravens minus four and a half, and well, the Ravens
got ravened. They got gutted by the Detroit Lions in primetime,
the Lions ripping off nineteen play ninety eight yard drives.
It lasted four days, and Baltimore got clowned, got exposed,

(01:16:26):
and because of that, it ruined our opportunity to go
three and zero. Instead, we settle for two and one,
which gives us an overall record of three and six
three and six on the year. As we approach Week
four in the NFL, and by the way, an update
before we get to our picks here in real time

(01:16:49):
in Champagne, four seconds left on the clock, Illinois appears
to be lining up for a potential game winning field
goal against USC. We are awaiting clearance so we can
go ahead and attempt this kick and move on with

(01:17:09):
our lives. And either USC will be rewarded by poor
officiating in the first half, or Illinois is going to
overcome it all and get out there and win this
game in front of their fans who have come out.
They have been raucus, they've been supportive, and so Illinois
lining up with four seconds left and a forty one

(01:17:30):
yard attempt to try and beat USC, which would be
the second of probably many upsets today in the world
of college football, after what happened last night between Florida
State and Virginia, and so here we are. They line
it up from forty one yards to try and win
the game and pull off the upset. The snap, the

(01:17:55):
ball is down, the kick is up, and they have
done it. Illinois has upset USC thirty four thirty two.
You heard it live here on Fox Sports Radio. And
now you hear.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
This cold said Rams.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
Oh, I'm gonna take the Rams. Now, let me tell
you exactly why I'm going to take the Rams, because
I am a firm believer that when you give up
a game like that, a game you know you should
have won, like the Rams should have won last week
against the Eagles, and you do so in dramatic fashion.
If that doesn't wake you up, if that doesn't make
you realize, hey man, you got to close games out

(01:18:33):
when you have an opportunity, I don't know what will.
I think the Rams have an opportunity to go to
a Super Bowl this year. And if I believe that,
then I have to believe that with the Indianapolis Colts
down three starters going into that game, I like the
Rams minus three and a half at home. I think
they get it done and they're gonna ram it all
day and ram it all night at the world's largest gazebo,

(01:18:56):
Sofi Stadium. Give me La minus to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
Three and a half took Bears and Raiders.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
Now this one's a funny one because the Raiders are
favored by a point and a half and I'm not
really sure why. I know the Bears are a little
banged up. You know, they're starting right tackle Darnell Right
is out. That Max Crosby probably a big fan of that.
But based on what we saw last week, I'm a
little surprised that they're still the underdog. But I think
Ben Johnson has reminded them all week. He even brought

(01:19:24):
it up earlier this week in one of his multiple
press conferences where he said, Hey, you know, we're underdogs
on the road. I think they're going to respond. I
think they're going to tack on two in a row.
I think they're going to get to five hundred. I'm
not saying they're a good team. I just think they're
better than the Raiders, and at this point, based on
what we saw a week ago, who is and give
me the Bears plus a point and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
I took Ravens and Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
It's hard to imagine that after this game, either the
Ravens or the Chiefs, one of them is going to
be one in three unless there's a tie, which is
basically like losing. Let's be honest, but I'm gonna go
with Baltimore here. I hate picking against Patrick Mahomes when
he's getting points at home, but I look at Baltimore
and I go it feels like there's just more to

(01:20:11):
them than there is the Chiefs. I don't trust the
Chiefs offense, and I think Baltimore has shown us that
they always rebound, they always respond, especially when they come
up with a performance where you go, what was that?
I think Baltimore goes in there. Give me the Ravens
minus two and a half. And that is your Week
four edition of Knox Loss Knocks. It's been a fun one.

(01:20:37):
Thanks to Isaac Loankron, thanks to Chris Purfett, thanks to
Bo Benson, and thanks for everybody for hanging out with
us here on Fox Sports Radio.
