Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have to have better stop Jonas Knocks.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
You thought you knew me. You didn't know a thing
about me.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
He's crazier than a else. Wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You heard me, the friends, some darkness is lighting up
your speakers to establish an alibi for the day. No
lie from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Here's Jonas Knocks. Yep, Okay,
I'll be part of this world.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You know, I tried for a long time to defend
somebody in the world of football. Not quite sure if
I've gotten the wiggle room here, but we will discuss
that for you coming up. And just a couple of
moments from now, Hoonus Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can
hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app.
You can always find us on hundreds of affiliates all

(01:10):
across the country and wherever you are making us a
part of your Saturday morning into the afternoon, we appreciate
you doing so. And on this fine Saturday, we are
going to take you all the way up until four
pm Eastern time one o'clock Pacific, and well beyond, well
before that time, we will have a final in Chapel Hill.

(01:35):
And I mean, if you want to just report. You know,
if the precincts want to report on this and just
call it for the game that's taking place in Chapel Hill,
you can go ahead and do so. Clemson's up thirty
five to three and a half, and there's some we
could sit here and we could talk about man, you know,
bounce back game for Clemson. Here we go Cade club Nick,
you know, he was Heisman candidate, and maybe Clai Dabo

(01:58):
Swin He's gonna go ahead and get to brag again.
And but really the story about this game is just
how bad North Carolina is under the tutelage of Bill Belichick.
And I have said from the get go that I
am a Bill Belichick supporter. I think robber Craft screwed

(02:22):
him over the the infatuation people had with Bill Belichick
and the rocket ship he's been parading around Nantucket with.
I mean, you know, the guy's doing you know, photo
shoots on the beach. He looks like the Vandykamps mascot.
He's out there parading around like they're on the cover
of magazines. Like all of that's listen. I have defended

(02:43):
all of it. Listen. He's got the right to do
what he wants to do. He's not married, he's got
a girlfriend and he wants to be happy, and you know,
he's doing his thing and he's coaching football. But here's
the issue. All of that stuff is awesome and it's

(03:05):
really cool and easy to defend until the games start
and the team looks atrocious. And that's exactly what they
look like. They're atrocious, like non competitive. Here was a
quote in an article that Bruce Feldman dropped yesterday. Bruce

(03:28):
Feldman does a great job, maybe the best in the
business covering college football. Bruce Feldman in this article said
the following quote. What I think they miscalculated is the
way they were taking players in the portal and paying dudes,
said a group of five head coach who was granted

(03:48):
anonymity to discuss his encounters with the tar Heels in
the offseason player acquisition cycle. That group of five head
coach went on to say, it made me wonder did
they actually understand the landscape they were in? Did they
understand that they're in the ACC not like Conference USA
or the Sun Belt, Like we got beat by North
Carolina on a bunch of kids, and I was like,

(04:09):
why the f is North Carolina beating us on kids.
When I keep running up against the same P fours
over and over again and recruiting, I'm like, all right,
they're gonna suck. That's not Dabo Swiney. That's not Ryan Day,
that's not one of these other Division one powerhouse head coaches.

(04:33):
That's not Nick Saban being critical of his good friend
Bill Belichick. No, no, no, no, that's a group of five head
coach who's saying this that we're competing and losing the
same players to an acc team coach by Bill Belichick.
It's bad. And I'll say this, Yeah, it's the first year.

(04:58):
It's going to take some time. They got a a
bunch of new players. Mike Lombard's apparently told you know
people out there, you know donors, Hey, listen, we're going
to focus on the freshman all listen. I got it,
totally got it. But you know what if somebody else
comes along and offers, you know, a blank check and says,
all right, what's it going to take for you to

(05:18):
leave there? I mean, this is the new day and
age to where it's not like, all right, well my
freshmen are coming in once they get a little older,
they're going to be awesome. No, like if somebody else
comes in and says, hey, we'll give you this. You
want to get out of that t that dumpster fire,
you can. It's easy like that, Like, this can be done.
And I'm just looking at the Belichick situation, going, this

(05:40):
is where all of that other stuff is going to
come back up. I've said this before. I've told this
story before. I worked in over the phone sales years
and years ago. I was awful, awful, but you know
what I was every day at work, dead sober, dead sober,

(06:02):
every day at work. Imagine that. You know who's awesome
at the job? A guy who was a known drug addict.
Everybody knew. His bathroom breaks were a little bit longer
than everybody else's. And for some reason, whenever he went
into the stall, his pants were never really around his ankles.

(06:24):
I don't know what it was. You know, he's standing
up the whole time. Never heard any droplets, never, No,
it's weird. Never heard toilet paper rolls going like first,
I don't know what it was. And he had a
ton of energy when he came out of there. It's
just weird. But guess what happened Ultimately, I got fired
because I sucked. He kept his job because he didn't.

(06:47):
That guy was a drug addict. Moral of the story,
if you deliver. Nobody really cares about that stuff. To
a certain extent, nobody cares. Belichick's got all the extra
curriculars going on. He's got the photo shoots and the
covers and the but they're terrible, and I'll say I

(07:12):
will continue to support Belichick. I hope it goes well.
I was fascinated to see how this was gonna look.
I was fascinated to see how they were gonna be
presented and how they were gonna perform under his coaching
and under his tutelage. But so far, they're awful, and
it doesn't look like they're getting better anytime soon. This

(07:34):
game is at halftime. Fans were already bailing in the
second quarter, Like fans in North Carolina were like, all right,
let's go drink. What are we doing here? And let's
not pay the prices they're charging us in the stadium.
Let's get out of here. Remember Night one, all the
alumn were there. I think Michael Jordan was there, and
Lawrence Taylor and Julius Peppers and it's like I saw

(07:57):
Julius Peppers earlier. I'm not I'm sure Michael Jordan's going
to be back. He's got other things to do. I
don't know if he's going to be back to watch
whatever it is. They're rolling out every single week there
in Chapel Hill at the Jonas Knocks on X at
the Jonas Knox on X and you can hang out
with us on Instagram as well too at Jonas Knox Show.

(08:17):
By the way. During the baseball postseason, Strauss Makes made
history as the first brand ever on the on the helmets.
It's the best. You can watch them. You'll see them
in every game you watch during the MLB playoffs. They're
family owned since nineteen forty eight. Strauss makes workwhere built
to perform, smart pocket design, real comfort and durability you

(08:40):
can trust, from grit to glory. Gear up today at
Strauss dot Com. That's s t R a Uss dot Com.
And we've got the Major League Baseball Ballplayoffs that will
continue later on today. We've got the NLDS series that
are going on. You've got Cubs Brewers. They're going to
try and really stir up, you know, the Craig Council

(09:03):
back to Milwaukee stuff. They're going to get that going.
You've got the Phillies and the Dodgers. I can tell
you this from personal experience. The MLB playoffs are a
real touchy subject around these parts. I'm just saying this
right now. There's a lot of people inside the Fox
Sports Radio building that have loyalties that may or may
not be associated with this show, that may or may

(09:26):
not have a podcast they do to showcase their loyalty
to certain teams around Major League Baseball. I'm just just
saying that I'm not and again I'm not calling out
Bo Benson or Monte Bolangio, So Ryan Berschinger, I'm not
doing that. I wouldn't do it personally. I would never
do that, okay, And I'm not going to talk about,
you know, whatever personal attacks they might make against the

(09:48):
Phillies because they're playing the Dodgers in the NLT. I'm
not going to do that. I refuse to do that.
I'm a broadcast professional. That'll not happen under my watch,
I can assure you, okay. But I'm just letting you
know that when you're watching the these games and you
see Strauss on the side of the helmets that the
MLB playoffs are a big deal around these parts. And
if you did want to grind anybody's gears and you

(10:10):
wanted to take a couple of digs at them on
social media, you could do so. You could do so
by pointing out maybe the shortcomings of some of their
teams around here. I'm just letting you know again, I'm
not trying to call anybody out. I don't want to
call out you know, bo Bens and grind bersching or
mounti belounders. I don't want to do that. I'm not
gonna call it their podcast. I'm not gonna do that.
I refuse to because I'm a better person than that.

(10:30):
But I'm just telling you a lot of loyalty here,
a lot of loyalty to a potential dodger. Repeat, I'm
just letting you know again. At the Jonas Knox on
X at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram is where you
can find us as well too. We'll take you all
the way up again on this two hour extravagance until
four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. We are going
to have the usuals coming up later on. We've got

a deep hole we put ourselves in. When it comes
to our picks in the NFL this season, all of
it is yours here on Fox Sports Radio. But there

(11:14):
are two quarterbacks in the NFL. They got a lot
in common, and what they have in common should be
a lesson to hot take artists everywhere in this industry,
including you. That's next Boom touch us for Jonas.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
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. Yeah, you blubber lit lam in me.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio, by the way, coming up,
and we'll call it a little over ten minutes from now,
we are going to hand out an award on this show.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
It is a.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Saturday tradition here on Fox Sports Radio. That'll be yours
here again a little over ten minutes from now. By
the way, we do have a tie game in Milwaukee,
speaking of the Major League Baseball playoffs, the Cubs and
Brewers tight at one a Michael Bush home run in
the top of the first leadoff home run for the Cubs.

(13:19):
The Brewers have tied it in the bottom half, so
we'll keep you posted on that. Also the other news
and notes from around college football, including how bad North
Carolina gets the doors blown off themselves by Clemson today
because it is not looking good for Bill Belichick in
North Carolina. So that'll be yours again throughout the course

(13:39):
of this show on Fox Sports Radio, Let's have a
conversation about hot takes that have pretty much gone up
in flames. We'll call it that, all right, So we're
gonna go hot takes that have gone up in flames.
There was a time not long ago that Baker Mayfield

(14:01):
and Sam Darnold were a laughing stock in the NFL, right,
and we were to like, it's not even that long
ago to where people were like, oh my god, boy,
look at those two guys from the same draft class.
Because you know, everybody looks at Josh Allen and everybody
looks at Lamar Jackson and they go through that hole,
that whole class, and they say, well, those those are

(14:22):
clearly the best of the bunch. And you know what,
they're right, and Josh Allen's got an MVP and Lamar
Jackson's got a couple of MVPs. Probably, I mean, you know,
maybe maybe you should have had another one. But we're
so quick to look at careers of quarterbacks when they're
drafted high and just assume, all right, we know what

(14:44):
we got here, this is who that guy is. Let's
just go ahead and let's call it right. We are,
we are, we have an understanding. He's the goods, he's
not the goods. They'll even throw out the bus term
all of that stuff that goes along with it. All right,
So everyone was really quick on that. Remember Baker Mayfield, like,

(15:05):
oh my god, I mean to look at all they
gave up. I mean, they had to go out and
get desperate because Kevin Stefanski and them didn't you know,
the Browns could could do better than Baker Mayfield. And
they're gonna salvage that waste of a pick at number
one because they're gonna it's like okay, okay, Okay. Then
Sam Darnold, the guy's a bust. Well, the Jets gotta
move on, and this and then and then they both

(15:27):
end up in Carolina and they're competing for the starting job,
and ultimately Baker Mayfield gets it. But at that point,
it's like, man, these guys were like top three picks
in the draft and and they're like, you know, they're
not good, and they're all they're competing for the Carolina

(15:48):
starting job. Oh, how the mighty have fallen? And they
were the and now you look back and you go,
huh a little different on this side. Baker Mayfield talked
about it because you know they're going to be meeting
up this weekend. You got the Bucks, you got the
Seahawks coming up, both pretty good teams, both quarterbacks playing

(16:11):
really well. And so Baker Mayfield was asked if he
and Sam Darnold, who are still friends and still close,
if they everre you know, reminisced about the good old
days there in Carolina.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
Reminisce about the good old days in Carolina.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Were we talking about reminisce about what days.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Good days in Carolina?

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh? Nope, now we don't.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, And why would you, Because that right there is
exhibit A in why hot takes die on the vine
of why if you place a take up there, why
don't you at least wait through the full bloom to

(16:52):
see whether or not it's worth eating? And as it
turns out, oh, those were bad ones. All the criticism,
all the conversation. Boy, wouldn't you know it? Baker Mayfield
and Sam Darnold just kind of needed to get away
from awful situations to go ahead and be successful. Boy,
who would have thunk it? Boy? Just imagine that?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
God?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Who would have thought? Boy? You know, we just got
to get if I were if I were to ask
you right now, all right, let's talk about, all right,
which are the the worst NFL organizations? Or which are
the teams around the NFL? You look at it goes
all right, So those are the worst? Right, just and
we'll call it. Let's give a you know, a nice
number here, we'll call it the last ten years. If
I were to say a, right, worst organizations last ten years?

(17:38):
All right? On that list, would you not agree that
the Jets, the Browns, the Panthers would all kind of
float to the top or near the top there. Now
you could throw in the Raiders, the Bears and some
other bad ones. But wouldn't you agree that they would
at least be in conversation if you're sitting around with

(17:58):
your buddies, like, hey, who do you think, like are
the biggest laughing stocks in the NFL the last ten years?
What would you say? And you guys are kicking around names,
wouldn't you think that somebody pretty early in the conversation
would point out the Jets, the Browns or the Panthers. Probably, yeah,
probably they've played for those teams. Like those teams, they

(18:21):
played for them. In fact, they've played for one at
the same time. And all it took was getting away
from a complete disaster, getting to some stable solid ground
where people kind of know what they're doing, like at
Kevin O'Connell or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who you know,

(18:43):
like all that's all it took, or even one start
in an emergency situation with Sean McVay, like it that's
all it took. And then you get to see the
potential of the player. And it's why I always when
everybody wants to talk about the term bust and all
the other crap words that go ah, he's a boss.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
There's so much more to the conversation than that. It's
so lazy to just label somebody that, to just say, oh,
you know what, yeah, you're a bust. Oh yeah, why
explain to me why i'm and make sure you involve
everything else that goes into the conversation. Those guys were

(19:26):
in terrible situations multiple times over trying to revive their career.
Sam Darnold gets to Minnesota and all of a sudden,
it's like, whoa, yeah, so that's why he was a
top pick. Okay, that makes some sense. He gets to

(19:47):
Seattle and like he's still playing pretty well. Well, boy,
just gosh, he's got stability, he's got people to throw to,
he's got an organization that's had six Well just imagine
Baker Mayfield took over in Tampa Bay for Tom Brady
when everybody says, man, you don't want to take over
for the guy took over in Tampa Bay for Tom

(20:08):
Brady and they love him and he's one of the
best quarterbacks in the NFL. And people can push back
against it, they can argue against it all they want.
Those are the facts. So the next time you start
throwing out well, you know this guy's a bust or
he can't play or he can't do this. No, no, no,
have a full conversation about it, Like, let's look at

(20:31):
everything in totality, because, as it turns out, your situation matters.
Imagine that. Imagine, Hey, what do you know your odds
for success increase when you don't grow up in a
broken home. Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold spent time in
broken homes. All of a sudden they got out. They're
looking around going, wait, so we don't have to we

(20:54):
don't have to deal with all that anymore. We can
just play football. We can play football with people that
know what they're doing. Gotta imagine that, and they're having
success and they see each other in successful situations again.

latest from around the world of sports, including the troubling
news out of Indianapolis, the one and only Isaac on
Yeah Jonas.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
We've got a lot of new information on this, so
we'll go through it systematically here. Former NFL quart of
Back and present Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez is in
stable condition in an Indianapolis hospital, with TMZ reporting that
he was stabbed during an altercation early this morning in
downtown Indianapolis, where he was scheduled to broadcast tomorrow's game

(22:15):
between the Colts and the Raiders. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police
Department told wxin television out of Indianapolis, they're the Fox
affiliate out there. Quote the incident involved two adult males,
resulting in one man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining
injuries consistent with stab wounds. Detectives believe this was an

(22:39):
isolated incident between the two men and not a random
act of violence. Both individuals, who are not local residents,
received medical treatment. The man with the apparent stab wounds
remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
Now.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
In the last few moments, WXIN television out of inn Indianapolis,
Fox fifty nine out there has issued and reported some
additional details. According to WXN television, a man listed as
the victim in the police report told police he was
delivering food when Sanchez told him he needed to move

(23:17):
and couldn't park where he was. That man told police
Sanchez started threatening and following him, and then attacked him.
The man said he first tried to pepper spray Sanchez,
but it didn't work. He said it was at that
time he defended himself with a knife. Police noted the
man had a significant injury to his face unquote. Again,

(23:39):
those details just reported by WXIN television out of Indianapolis.
The official Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report lists a suspect
and a victim unnamed in the report and list the
offense aggregated excuse me, aggravated assault with personal weapons, parentheses, hands, feet,

(24:03):
et cetera.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Unquote.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
So those are the details that we know at this time.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I've got a I don't know if this is breaking news,
but I do know that A Brady Quinn will now
be on the call for the Culturators game.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
You do, yeah, okay, yeah, so he will.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
He's been called into duty obviously, Sanchez being unable to
do so. So he's gonna leave ann Arbor and and
head straight to Indianapolis. I'm assuming and ready to call
that game tomorrow. All right. How's that for some breaking news, Isaac?
You think you're the only one that can drop breaking
news on this show.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
I never I never said, I never saw.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
I never your breaking news. Pipe and smoke at Isaac.
How about that? Listen, Woodward, Why don't you go hang out?
Why don't you go that's called sourcing there?

Speaker 9 (24:48):
Why don't you go hang out in Why don't you
go hang out at a parking garage at two am
in the morning in your trench coat?

Speaker 7 (24:55):
Over there?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
But by in all seriousness, though, this this is exactly
when they always tell you may nothing good happens after
a certain hour, Nothing good like this is why it's
stuff like this, man, you don't know who's got what,
you don't know who's carrying what, and it's just bad
things happen, and it happens all the time. So hopefully
Mark Sanchez can can recover. But that's that's awful.

Speaker 9 (25:19):
Yeah, And along those lines, one other detail, there is
confirmed video of this incident that the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police
Department does have and is of course reviewing. We'll get
you caught up on college football. Number twelve Georgia leading
Kentucky thirty five to seven, four to twenty three left
to play in the third quarter. Cincinnati led number fourteen

(25:43):
and five to zero Iowa State thirty one to seven
late in the second quarter, but right now their lead
is down to thirty one to twenty two Cincinnati over
Iowa State with four and a half left to play
in the third quarter. Number twenty Michigan leading Wisconsin seventeen
to seven of the final midutle of the third quarter.
Number twenty two Illinois of thirty three twenty one at

(26:03):
Purdue with four to twenty nine left in the third quarter.
Clemson still leading to North Carolina thirty five to three
with five minutes to go on the third quarter, and
in Game one of the National League Division Series, the
Milwaukee Brewers now leave the Chicago Cubs four to one,
and they are still only in the bottom half of
the first inning. So a lot going on.

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Jonas back to.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
You, thank you, Isaac, or should I say, Bernstein, I
don't even understand the reference.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
I'll be honest with.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
You, Yes you do. Don't play dumb.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I really don't.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
Don't play dumb.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
I really don't. I swear to God, you're a liar.
I don't get it. I really don't Bernstein Woodward.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
What is that You're a liar?

Speaker 2 (26:42):
I'm not making that up. I don't understand.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Stop playing stupid.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'm not. I really don't understand the reference. And I
think there's probably people listening that don't. Can you just
explain please for myself and the Yeah, they were five
percent listening that don't.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
They were the guy They were the guys who came
up with this scandal, who reported this scandal and broke
the scandal about this thing called Watergate. The resulted in
President oh yeah, well, well, did did you at least
get my reference about a guy in a parking garage
at two o'clock in.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
The morning and a trench coat. No, I didn't.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
You don't know about deep throat. Well, it's just like
seventy years ago.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Now, I would say I would also, Isaac, I would
also say this. You know, there's been some some new
information that's come out about Watergate that, yeah, it's kind
of a hit piece.

Speaker 9 (27:32):
Yet you yet you just claim to have never heard
of the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, but I mean I don't know their names. I
just know that some of the stories we were told
maybe weren't all that truthful in his historic.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Now, I still think you're lying.

Speaker 9 (27:44):
I still think you're you're you're a scholar, but you
don't want to expose yourself as intelligent for your social
media audience.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I don't know why we want to call names here
on the show. I don't know why we're taking personal attacks.
All right, this is you know, we're trying to trying
to an honest sports talk radio show here. I'm just
telling you, like some of the stories around Watergate that
we've been told, you know, not totally acting. Okay, give
me one, give me, give me one specific data. Now
it's not I don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 9 (28:11):
I don't, and maybe it's too late because the guy
already resigned and he's not alive anymore.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Nix.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, but he was one of the one of the
guys on point break though, which is important.

Speaker 9 (28:20):
You know, I thought that was that was the most
graceful surfing I have ever seen.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
But yes, I've listened to you know, I am not
a crook. You know where they're in the car with
the you know.

Speaker 9 (28:31):
You know Jonas, I gotta admit, you're like an onion.
You keep peeling fascinating layer after fascinating layer.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, damn right, thank you. I'll take that all right.
So we are going to have another edition of Do
You Care coming up here, and we'll call it about
ten minutes from now or a little over ten minutes
from now on Fox Sports Radio. So years ago, when
high definition television came out, it was kind of this

(28:59):
this oddity to where during the NFL season, when you
would watch Sunday Ticket, they would have all the games up,
and all but one of them were in high def,
and they would usually put the worst game in standard deaf.
It was just like, I don't know why. It was
a weird glitch. It lasted for at least a couple
of years I can remember, and it was like, man,
are you the SD game? Because if you're the standard

(29:22):
definition game, that's kind of an insult. That means, man, like,
that's that's the game, Like, you know, nobody wants and
they definitely don't want to watch it in high Def.
And so years later I thought, you know, why don't
we do our own version of that? Why don't we
you know, why don't we celebrate, you know, maybe one
of the games that you're like, oh god, really like
nobody wants that game, But instead we're going to put

(29:43):
a twenty twenty five spin on it and we're going
to infuse gambling into the equation. All right, So it
is time for our TGFG Game of the Week for
Week five in the NFL, and the game of the
week this week goes two.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Titans and Cardinals.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Oh yeah, baby, four o five pm Eastern time in
the desert, and watching this must feel like no water
in the desert, because good god, the Tennessee Titans are
bad Brian Callahan. They're basically trying to bait him into
getting himself into trouble postgame because of how bad Tennessee is.
The Arizona Cardinals. Nobody really knows what the hell they are.

(30:26):
They don't know whether or not they're a legitimate contender
in the division. Everyone kind of sees them as a
little fraudulent. I think they're two and two, But does
it even matter. It's the four oh five Eastern time windows,
so basically, we're just gonna throw you in at one
oh five or two o five and the desert, depending
on daylight savings, and we're just gonna see who shows
up or who even wants to be entertained by this

(30:47):
or watch it at all. But if there's a way
to be entertained, you can put a little bit of
cash on the game if you will. You could bet
a little bit if you'd like. So Our tg FG
Game of the Week, which stands for Thank God for Gambling,
Game of the Week, goes to the Tennessee Titans and
the Arizona Cardinals, who will kick off tomorrow at four
h five pm Eastern Time inside a stadium that sees

(31:11):
a whole bunch of big games there just none of
them involving the Arizona Cardinals, So congratulations to both teams involved.
It will not be the first time where the last
time that the Titans have been featured in this segment
our TGFG game of the Week. Thank God for gambling,
because if not for gambling, who's watching this crap? And
by the way, speaking of gambling, be sure to check

(31:32):
out DraftKings sportsbook and official sports betting partner of the NFL.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
All right.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Coming up next here on the show. Speaking of traditions,
we got another one. There's a bunch of stories out there,
a bunch of like news and notes out there that
a lot of people have made a lot of over
the past several days in the world of sports media.
We're going to tell you the truth about all of them.
We're going to tell you the brutal truth about all
of them, and we're not gonna be nice when we
do so. It's another edition of Do You Care? And

(32:15):
it's yours right here on FSR Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, coming off top of next hour, we'll
call it about fifteen minutes from now, we're going to
get back into this conversation about something that has now
taken the throne. They have now taken the throne from
somebody else in the world of sports. That'll be yours

(32:38):
here on FSR. Before we get to another edition of
Do You Care, Though, let's talk about the original Louisiana
Hot Sauce. It's the perfect balance of Pepper's vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers.
I recommend on clam chowder. Hit any tailgate food with
the bold, handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana Hot Sauce.

(32:58):
That's Louisiana Hot.

Speaker 7 (33:00):
Buy you some.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Of time DMS reports.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
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 (33:19):
And But then we turn it over to our executive
producer Bo Benson to find out what the hell people
have been bitching about all week.

Speaker 10 (33:25):
Bo, Well, Jonas, Before we get started, I wanted to
do some fun sports trivia with you if you don't mind,
sure who scored more the San Diego Padres in their
three game series against the Chicago Cubs or the Milwaukee Brewers.
In the first inning against the Cubs.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Ooh, can I go? I'll go Brewers.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
That's right.

Speaker 10 (33:44):
The Padres scored five runs total across three games. The
Brewers scored six.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
You couldn't help yourself, could you go? You can't, but
both Bo can't help himself. Padre fans are reeling from
what happened in that series, and Bo's got to come
out there and take them, you know, take them to
the woodshed.

Speaker 10 (33:59):
Yeah, Jonas, king of those Padres. The santing of Padres
verbally assaulted the umpires walking off the field after they
lost to the Cubs on Thursday. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah? I think I mean, listen, I think they've got
a point. That was a terrible missed call. ABS will
be around next year, so hopefully they'll be able to
correct those mistakes. Now, hopefully they'll also be able to
correct the mistakes of their top three going what was
it one for eleven in the final game or oer
for eleven? Well, one of the two not delivering. I

(34:30):
think Fernando Tatis maybe had a hit, maybe maybe one
Machado other than his home run I'm not really sure
what he did, so I don't really know that that
missed call basically decided the series. It was terrible, but
to see them go at it with the Elms, my
favorite part was how they were. They were yelling at
the Elms as they were walking down the tunnel, and
the one ump just turned around and wouldn't have it anymore.

(34:52):
It was like, you know what, game's over, fu, And
that's what really led to players having to be separated
from those guys.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Next.

Speaker 10 (34:58):
Yeah, Well, speaking of Dodgers, scrap keep scrap, heap catcher
Ben Rtvett Uh. He tallied more hits in the Dodgers
to h two games over the Reds, the series one
over the Reds. Then Fernando Tatis Junior and Manny Machado
did combined in their series against the Cubs. So once again,
do you care?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Not?

Speaker 7 (35:19):
Really?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Although I say that, do you do? You let's go
with the Ben Brian, do you let's go live to
I have got something inside of christ prophet.

Speaker 11 (35:27):
For the latest Chris Jonas as a fellow non Dodgers
fan here at Fox Sports Radio along with you, Uh,
this time of year is insufferable.

Speaker 7 (35:36):
I just want to say that it is. It is.

Speaker 11 (35:39):
It is something around here, and I just want to
echo your thoughts on that.

Speaker 7 (35:42):
Yes, this is going to happen. This is going to
be happening for a month with it.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
It really is.

Speaker 10 (35:47):
I was gonna mention, well, no, it's not going to
be happening for a month because the Padre is already lost,
so I don't have to talk about them anymore.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, pictures Catcher's report in February. I believe that's when
it will start happening for them again. But I would say,
do you what do you think who is going to
be more embraced when they go somewhere? You and San
Diego or me and Milwaukee based on what they said
during the break.

Speaker 7 (36:06):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (36:06):
We'll find out eventually. I'm sure I'll go down to
San Diego.

Speaker 7 (36:08):
Do you know I think it in Milwaukee? You're dead.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
Yeah. The tough part here is that Brandon Truffa does
listen to this show, So I'm I'm sure that I
will be receiving a few text messages shortly about that.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Oh he's listened.

Speaker 10 (36:22):
He's probably at a bar somewhere right anyways, who cares
about him? Next links forward in the FISA Collier. She
called out w NBA leadership and the commissioner in a
passionate statement earlier this week. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Oh god, no, I don't care. No. Did you say
w NBA No no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 12 (36:40):
No, absolutely not no yet listen and and ESPN can
try and jam it down everybody's throats all they want
and try and make everybody care.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
And force people to talk about the w NBA and
do live coverage and all nobody cares. They don't care.
Specific on this show, and especially me, we don't care
at all.

Speaker 10 (37:03):
Next the athletics, Diana Russini reported this morning that both
Aj Brown and DeVante Smith, the Eagles wide receivers, are
frustrated with their role in the offense.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Kind of, I love it, although I would say this
at least it makes it somewhat interesting. But this is
really kind of a all right, because they're winning games
and they're doing so really ugly, but they're winning games.
So now it's a all right, do we really want
to go down this road? Like it's a This is
a real tipping point for the Eagles here because you

(37:38):
got wide receivers who are like, man, I love winning games,
but I can't help. But I'm a wide receiver and
majority of us like to complain like that. That's just
how this works. I'd also say this as somebody who
may or may not in a fantasy team have Davonte Smith,
you know, at some point, you know, maybe get him
the ball. You know, at some point, maybe that can

(37:59):
help out some people out there who also have aj Brown.
But again, they're winning games, so you got to pick
your battle wisely.

Speaker 10 (38:05):
Next, the Minnesota Vikings will play second straight game in Europe,
taking on the Browns in London. JJ McCarthy remains out.
I think three fifths of the Vikings starting offensive line
is also out. And a fun fact for this one.
Although Cleveland is the home team here, the Vikings have
not played in Cleveland since two thousand and nine, and
the next time they go there will be twenty thirty

(38:26):
three jonas. Do you care about any of that?

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (38:30):
I do, because I think basically what's happening here is
that this is the test case. The NFL wants to
have teams planted permanently in Europe. They want to have
a European Division, they want that to be the case now,
whether they're all in London or they're just sprinkled around Europe.
I do find it interesting that, oh, hey, you know

(38:51):
what Vikings say, Ciniorty over there, why don't you just,
you know, head on over to England. You know, you
know Ciniority over there. Why don't we just will send
you on over to London and we'll do it right
after you were just in Dublin. So I care from
that standpoint because I feel like this is the NFL
kind of dipping their toe in the water and seeing
how things go. Also, man, they're really really making life

(39:12):
difficult on Jordan Addison because I pointed this out last
week that you know, the guys had a little bit
of an issue bending the elbow, if you will. He
fell asleep outside lax behind the steering wheel, which you
know hate when that happens. Ie right off of playing God,
I wonder why. And you know he's had a little
bit of an issue with the with the bottle. So
what do they do first game back? We'll send them

(39:33):
over to Dublin, where if you cough or cut a
fart in any direction, you will have coughed or farted
on a bar or a pub, and they said, but
don't worry, we're gonna get you out of there, and
we're gonna send you over to London, where it's basically
the same thing. So again, Jordan Addison, stay strong, baby,

(39:53):
stay strong. You'll be back home in Minneapolis sometime soon.
Next Thursday morning, it's forty nine.

Speaker 10 (39:59):
Ers quarterback Mac Jones uh stepped out onto his hotel
back balcony, looked out into the waters of Marina del Rey,
Uh and apparently he saw a dead body floating out there.
Uh told his teammates this was in Diana Rossini's article
as well. As they were getting on the bus. The Uh,
the coroner and the police started arriving at the hotel. So, Jonas,

(40:19):
do you care about the what Mac Jones saw on
the water?

Speaker 2 (40:22):
I got a thing about dead bodies, Yeah I do. Uh. Yeah. Now,
anybody who's ever driven out here in southern California knows
that those HOV lanes go a lot faster, and when
you're driving alone sometimes you need a companion. You could
either they could be inflatable, or you know, go get

(40:43):
your ass a snorkel and uh And next thing you know,
you're not getting popped five hundred dollars for driving in
the hov lane because they say you're not with anybody.
I'm just I'm trying to I'm trying to save people
money here, Okay, I'm trying to help people out here.
And the fact that that guy saw a dead body
floating in front of him and then went out and
put on the performance he did at the world's largest

(41:05):
gazebo is more of a reason why it's the return
of the Mac. Mac Jones is back and a corpse
couldn't even throw them off his game. Mac Jones for
Comeback Player of the Year twenty twenty five. You know,
some things age better than others, and that's proof in
the world of football. We'll get into that for you

(41:27):
coming up here in just a couple of moments from now.
Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with
us on the iHeartRadio app. You can always find us
on hundreds of affiliates all across the country and wherever
you are on this Saturday making us part of your day.
We appreciate you doing so. We'll be taking you all
the way up until the end of this hour four
pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. You know, we open

(41:50):
up the show talking about the problem in Chapel Hill.
The problem is North Carolina stinks. Okay, that's a problem.
Considering Bill Belichick was brought in, it was a big
time higher. There was a lot of news and a
lot of buzz surrounding the hire of Bill Belichick. And
since then it just hasn't gone well from a football standpoint.

(42:14):
They look terrible, They look like they don't belong and
you've got a lot of people asking questions about whether
or not Bill Belichick should be the guy in Chapel
Hill or should be coaching in college football in general.
And I pointed this out earlier, you know, as North
Carolina is getting annihilated by Clemson. I pointed this out

(42:36):
earlier that a group of five head coach told Bruce
Feldman it made me wonder in talking about North Carolina,
who was going after a bunch of the same players
that a group of five school was going after. Quote,
it made me wonder did they actually understand the landscape
they were in? Did they understand that they're in the

(42:57):
ACC not like Conference USA or the Sun beat out?
Because he's like, why why am I getting beaten out
by North Carolina for some of the guys we're going after,
like there's a clear understanding, ohough that that's a Division
one guy. This is you know, that's that's a that's
like a big time school, that's a you know, a
Power five, and this is a group there's a big

(43:18):
difference in the player, the level of player you would
recruit and this group of five head coaches like what
what what's happening here? Why is North Carolina beating us
to the punch on some of these players? And so
you've got a lot of people asking questions about, man,
you know, is this does this team okay? Are they

(43:40):
headed in the right direction? Is you know Mike Lombardi,
who is basically the GM there is you know, telling
donors like, hey, we're focused on freshmen. It' say, okay,
but like this is bad. They're getting annihilated by good teams,
like they're like they're getting smoked, and you've got fans
leaving early, and it just feels like this isn't going well.

(44:04):
And that's where all the other off season stuff comes up,
the stuff with his girlfriend, you know, does he have
his priorities in line? Who's calling the shot? And again
I defend Bill Belichick until my final days. I will
defend Bill Belichick on this show. My final days of
this show, I will continue to defend him. He's the
greatest coach we've ever seen in NFL history. I think

(44:25):
Robert Kraft did him dirty in the end. I really do.
And it's mind boggling to me why he wasn't at
least considered or interviewed for other jobs in the NFL
outside of just the Falcons job. But then you see
stuff like this and you go, well, all the extra curriculars,
the noise, her involvement, the photo shoots, the covers of

(44:50):
magazine like it just makes you wonder, like what okay?
Like that's where all of that stuff starts to come
up again. You can do all that if you're delivering
the goods on the field. The problem is they're not.
They're delivering the bads. That's a bad team and they
don't look like they're getting better, which is even more
cost for concern. So not great. All the voices will

(45:14):
be out there, all the usual suspects who were critical
of Belichick and the higher and the stuff off the field.
All that's going to continue to creep back up. If
they continue to get exposed like they have been so
far against somewhat decent opponents in Bill Belichick's first year
at North Carolina. Uh, speaking of the ACC because I
was thinking about this, Maybe my favorite game growing up,

(45:41):
when I first started watching college football, maybe my favorite
game growing up was Miami Florida State. I loved it.
Miami Florida State was like the wide right games, the
bat like it was awesome. They were always good. They
were the game. And a lot of times they'd be

(46:02):
like one or two in the country facing off against
each other like you just had I mean, you had
Hall of Famer after Hall of Like they were great games,
but it was like a legitimate great rivalry. And it's
still a rivalry. And they're meeting up later on tonight
and they're both ranked, and it's like, man, you know,
Miami looks good, looks like the U is back, and
it's got Miami Florida State, and you got all those

(46:25):
memories come up, and then you just kind of step
take a step back, and you realize, yeah, just not
the same, just isn't. And you can have an argument
all you want about what's the greatest rivalry, what's the
greatest matchup, what's the greatest this in sports? But if
you want to keep it to just college football, this
is why I will continue to say that it's Michigan

(46:48):
and Ohio State because there's been zero drop off. In fact,
it's only gotten better. That rivalry has been consistent all
the way through Ohio State Michigan. The game has been

(47:08):
consistent all the way through Miami. Florida State used to
be that and it's nowhere close anymore. And they've tried
different ways to try and keep the rivalry going. They've
done different things. I remember like there was a couple
of times at least where they had it to open
up the season, which just wasn't as good because you're like, man,
like why, like we're already excited for college football, why

(47:30):
do you have to open up with this? Like what
do we like? Football's back? Why are we opening up
with this? Like I can remember sitting at a bar.
I remember actually the name of the bar. It was
Labor Day, I think two thousand and nine, and it
was in Charleston, South Carolina. It was called Daniel Island
Bar and Grill, Great place. I got bit by a

(47:53):
mosquito the size of a VW bug Like the thing
just sucked at like every ounce of blood I had
in my body at that time, and that body part
was taken out by the mosquito. But the point is
this right on the water. It's terrible. The point is
I remember watching it even then going why are we
opening up the season with this? Like why why is
it being played so early in the year? What are

(48:15):
we doing? Like just it didn't make sense to me,
but it was like, well, let's try and do this
and let's move this around. Michigan Ohio State has kept
the same energy the entire time. So while I'm it
should be an entertaining game, you've got Miami and floor
like on paper it's got all the goods, it doesn't

(48:36):
feel the same and I think that's a credit to
what the game has done kept consistent the entire time.
At the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knox
on X and you can find us on Instagram as
well too at Jonas Knox Show. By the way, have
you seen that red Ostrich logo on professional baseball postseason helmets?

(48:59):
That's Strauss Baby family owned since nineteen forty eight and
trusted by pros worldwide. Pants, built like tools, durable, comfortable,
and engineered to perform from grit to glory. Gear upnow
at Strauss dot com. That's s t R a Uss
dot com. And I will say this about the Major

(49:23):
League Baseball playoffs. You want to argue about the NHL,
go right ahead. You want to come up with some
sort of an argument for the NBA. Have fun, you
want to talk at it, do whatever you want to do.
I'm saying it right now. The MLB Playoffs is the

(49:44):
best of the bunch, as far as zero to one
hundred with the flip of a switch from the regular
season to the postseason. Phenomenal. It is phenomenal, and it
goes to show you why I've been saying from the jump.

(50:05):
If you're the NBA playoffs and you want to know why,
and listen, the NBA Playoffs was entertaining this past year.
It was more entertaining than it had been. We had
a bunch of seven game series, you had the finals
go to seven games, all that stuff, and there was
energy in the buildings. Not like that's awesome. The problem
is there's still way too many games where you know
pretty early on, oh yeah, it's over, and they're just gonna,

(50:25):
you know, keep keep, you know, just kind of keep
rolling out whatever they got the rest of this game
because they got wiggle room here, Like you got a
seven game series in a seven game series, in a
seven game series, and Major League Baseball is like, okay,
we're gonna have wild card teams. Now, we'll give you
a three game have fun with that. You lose that
first game, the odds significantly change. Whether you're home or away,

(50:47):
it does not matter. You get to the next round
five games. It's only in the AL and NLCS and
the World Series that you're gonna get a seven game series.
And it completely changes the game. It completely changes the
way the playoffs look. They completely changes the way you
watch these games. Every single pitch is intense. You'll be

(51:11):
watching a game that'll be a two to one count
and literally the people inside the stadium and watching on
television or watching on their phones are at the edge
of their seat going, oh God, this means everything. And
it's a two to one count. It can middle the game.
It could be the fifth inning and it's a two
to one count, there's a runner on, it's a tight game,

(51:33):
and that one single pitch means either it's a three
to one hitters count or two to two, and it
opens up your bag of whatever you want to throw
at the guy to get him to swing, and miss
ad completely changes no sport, no league has that. The
NFL is great all the way through, you get to
the playoffs all the way. We understand that, but no

(51:55):
league has the flip of a switch, energy, excitement, buzz, nerves,
everything that comes along with it like Major League Baseball does.
Nobody has that. So whatever you want to say, and
I get it. The NHL man, the playoffs are awesome.
They go to like fifteen overtime, Like I got it
from my money. I'll take the MLB playoffs. I will

(52:18):
take it just from that fact alone that you go from.
All Right, here we go. Hey, it's uh, you know,
it's September, late September baseball. That's awesome. Hey, everybody turn
the lights on. It's the postseason and everything changes again.
At the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knocks
on X and you can hang out with us on
Instagram as well too at Jonas Knox Show. Coming up

(52:40):
next here, though, we are going to tell you about
how one coach in the NFL is already on vacation mode.
It's already on vacation mode. And I'm not talking about
him being fired like he's saying all sorts of nice
things because he knows it's over. Find out who we're

(53:01):
talking about right here on FSR.

Speaker 12 (53:03):
All right, First off, Jonas Knox can suck it.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, return of the mac guys.
He's a dead body in Marina del Rey before the
Niners Rams game. I got a thing about dead bodies.
Welcome to Southern California. Coming up and we'll call it

(53:30):
a little over ten minutes from now. Somebody actually came
up with a really great idea. This is like a
novel thought, you know, like a really, really, really wonderful idea.
It also makes you question an entire sport. We'll get
into that for you again coming up here a little
over ten minutes from now. By the way, there's nobody
at this North Carolina Clemson game. It looks like a

(53:54):
UCLA game. There's nobody there is Like that is just tremendous.
I don't know what the weather's like in Chapel Hill.
I'm not, you know, I don't. I'm not on weather
dot com right now, believe it or not. So I
don't know what the actual weather is like, but it is.
It's not great. Nah, the optics are not good for
North Carolina as they are drawing flies in the second

(54:18):
half of games because they're getting blown out by better teams.
So just wait. But you know what, look, you know,
give it time. They say, give it time. People didn't
need any more time to assess their thoughts on this show, though,
all right, Jason writes in leave the sports talk to

(54:43):
actual men, not bleeps like you get back to obsessing
about Taylor Swift's new album, like the Stalking bleephole you are,
and decoding which lyrics are about Travis Kelsey with your
group of fellow bleep swallowers. Maddie writes in Honestly, how
much longer we gonna have to suffer through the nauseating

(55:06):
tones of Jonas Either this clown has pictures of management
or he works dirt cheap. There's no reason he should
be on Fox Sports Radio except that Isaac the pompos
is the update guy, is even worse. First of all,
I don't I don't know why Isaac had to catch

(55:27):
astray there. Sorry about that, Isaac I take it as
a compliment. My only question is My only question is
did he spell pompous?

Speaker 7 (55:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (55:38):
P O M P O U s good? All right,
so at least he's smart. Hey, you know me, he
ain't wrong about the pompous part. I will say, you
know of all these that there are, of all these,
you know, Alexander, the great Isaac, the pompos is right
up there.

Speaker 9 (55:59):
So I literally feel the adrenaline and the positive endorphins
coursing through my veins just at the mention of me
and pompous in the same sentence.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Back, Well, let's see what you think about this, Ben
writes in Bordop bitch bleep, Jonas is still more useless
and irrelevant than bella bitch and his little sugar baby.
Ho bleep you bleep gobbling flamer.

Speaker 7 (56:30):
Yeah, I don't have a problem with any of that.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Adam writes it, Hey, bleep ass Knox can't believe bleep
sports radio Still lets your soy boy limp wrist metrosexual
deep v neck ass on the radio. Go bleep your
mini caret to Katie Clark, you otawi ball washing bleep
polisher at the Jonas Knox on X at Jonas Knock

(56:58):
Show on Instagram. I will post those at some point
when I get a chance here on Instagram. All right,
so let's get back and do things here. And by
the way, you can you listen to this show as
always if you have nothing but kind things to say,

Speaker 1 (57:37):
All right.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Sean Payton is in vacation mode. Okay, vacation mode. You
want some proof, here's your proof. This was Sean Payton
as the Broncos get ready to take on the Eagles
this weekend. This was Sean Peyton on the Orange and
Blue Podcast, defending the tush push.

Speaker 8 (58:02):
I was one that stood up in favor of The
reason I stood up in favor of is is pretty simple.
If the powers to be don't want it for aesthetic
reasons or competitive reason you know, or it's hard to officiate,
et cetera. But I've been involved in those meetings for
a long time, and when all of a sudden, health

(58:23):
and safety was pulled into that which which might be
the safest play in football, my bullet nose kind of
went up. Look at the quarterback sneak. You know, as
long as the line of scrimmage is clean, it's a
well run quarterback sneak.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah, that's somebody who is saying those things and taking
that approach because they realize, oh, it's out of here
soon anyways. Oh why don't we all the harmless t Yeah? No, listen,

(58:57):
It's like it's like everybody shows up to work the
day before vacation and they're in a great mood.

Speaker 8 (59:03):
You know.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
It's like Friday, like everybody show you know. I ever notice,
how like whenever anybody wants to do something nice for
their coworkers, it's usually on a Friday. Hey, I brought
in bagels or donuts for everybody. Hey, look at that.
Oh look at hey. Where were you when I needed
you on like Tuesday? Okay, I could have used something
to make my day better? Where were you then, but no,

(59:24):
everybody's in a great mood on Friday. Casual. Hey, it's casual,
weird days. It's everybody's always on a Friday, the day before.
You got a couple of days off. You'll know why
Sean Payton's being so nice, talking so nice about the
tush push and how he supported it and all that.
And he may have supported it because Sean Payton realizes,

(59:46):
hey man, it's basically Friday on this whole thing anyways,
because that's sort of a bitch is going to be
out of here next year. It's God touch push is gone.
And anybody that thinks differently you have not been I'm
paying attention. There have been little things that have been
dropped and hinted at. All of a sudden, Well, it's

(01:00:06):
a tough play to officiate, you know, Nick Sirianni talking about,
oh my god, look how exciting the play is. We
did a couple of variations off it, and look at
all that. It's like, oh yeah, okay, okay, okay, I
get narrowly passed. I get narrowly passed last time. But
all of a sudden, they're doing little things. So now

(01:00:28):
you've got people out there like hey, Sean Paige's like, hey,
look man, you know people are talking about the safety
of it all, and they're come on, come on, just
enjoy it while it's here. If I'll tell you this
right now, if I'm Nick Sirianni and the Eagles, I literally,
at some point this year, run that play four times

(01:00:48):
to see if you can pick up a first down,
Like they should actually do that last game of the year,
if they've already got everything clenched and figured out or whatever,
just send Hurts and the offense out there, or at
this point, you know, let Aj Brown or DeVante Smith
redd it because they're not doing anything anyways, Like just
let let send him out there for one series and

(01:01:12):
the series is an entire gauntlet of tush push or
variations off the tushpush. Just do it, just like do
like empty the vault, let it, let everybody see it all, Like,
don't leave all your your best jokes and your best
material somewhere else, not on that. Give it all, give it,

(01:01:33):
give it, give them everything, because it's gone after this year.
Sean Payton knows that everybody in the NFL knows that
tough to officiate all less. I you know, I defend
the play of COURTI everybody, listen, give all the pleasantries
you want on the on the on the final day
or the final couple of days of course, vacation mode. Hey,

(01:01:54):
I'm mad here tomorrow anyways, Hey, and I see it. Everybody.
You're in a good mood, high five and empty and
then all of a sudden it's gone, man up and
vanished like a fart in the wind. It's out of here.
So Sean Payton being nice and the tough to officiate
and Nick Siriannis, and it's an exciting play. And look

(01:02:16):
at all the variations, like everybody like, do talk and
do whatever you want to do now and say whatever
you want to say because the tush push will be
no more starting next year, guaranteed at the Jonas Knocks
on X at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram, and you
can hang out with us again as always on the
iHeartRadio app. All right, it's coming up next here. Somebody

(01:02:37):
actually has a like a novel idea, I'd say, a
brilliant idea. It also makes you question an entire sport.
We'll get into that for you coming up here on
Fox Sports Radio. But for all the latest from around
the world of sports, including the news out of Indianapolis,
involving Mark Sanchez, the one and only Isaac Longcross.

Speaker 9 (01:02:56):
Indeed Jonahs, former NFL quarterback and president. Fox Sports analyst
Mark Sanchez is in stable condition in an Indianapolis hospital,
with TMZ reporting that he was stabbed during an altercation
early this morning in downtown Indianapolis, where he had been
scheduled to broadcast tomorrow's game between the Colts and the Raiders.
No arrests have been made. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department

(01:03:18):
is investigating video footage of the incident and will present
the case to the Marion County Prosecutor's office for a
charging decision. Fox fifty nine television out of Indianapolis reported
quote the man listed as the victim in the police
report told police he was delivering food when Sanchez told

(01:03:38):
him he needed to move and couldn't park where he was.
That man told police Sanchez started threatening and following him,
and then attacked him. The man said he first tried
to pepper spray Sanchez, but it didn't work. He said
it was at that time he defended himself with a knife.
Police noted the man had a significant injury to his face.

(01:03:59):
Sam Chez has not yet given his account of how
events unfolded unquote again those details reported by Fox fifty
nine television out of Indianapolis. In the Major League Baseball
Division Series, the Milwaukee Brewers have a nine to one
lead over the Chicago Cubs after three innings of Game
one of their series, the Brewers scoring six in the

(01:04:21):
first and three more in the second inning. In college football,
number twenty, Michigan defeated Wisconsin twenty four to ten as
Wolverine's running back Justice Hayes ran for one seventeen with
two touchdowns. Twelfth ranked Georgia over Kentucky thirty five to fourteen.
Right now, Cincinnati continuing to hold on to a thirty
eight to twenty two lead over fourteenth ranked Iowa State

(01:04:44):
with three fourteen left to play in the fourth quarter.
Iowa State right now facing a fourth down and eleven
at the Cincinnati twenty eight yard line. And number twenty
two Illinois has just one at Purdue forty three to
twenty seven. Any more college football scores, Jonas, would it
be okay if I gave you a score involving two

(01:05:04):
non ranked teams?

Speaker 8 (01:05:06):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:05:06):
Yeah, Please thirty four seconds left to play in the
fourth quarter, the one in three Clemson Tigers leading in
North Carolina thirty eight to ten. Back to you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
Have you seen the crowd shots?

Speaker 9 (01:05:20):
They seem to diminish more and more as time goes by.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Oh my god, Like it looks like a WNBA game.
It's sorry about that. I mean, I didn't mean to
offend anybody. It was on my apologies, but like, just
look in the crowd. In fact, it looks like a
WNBA game with like UCLA football in the undercard. See,
it's bad.

Speaker 9 (01:05:42):
I don't really want to wade into this. Why the
UCLA football the UCLA football. Yes, I do agree with
you there, but literally, the WNBA finals were last night
with a sellout crowd. It just seemed that that particular
insult came a little too reflexive out of your mouth.
I would say the UCLA one is more apt. Well,

(01:06:04):
I mean, hey, to each their own. Yeah, I'm just
not one of those.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
That's not a you know, I'm not each or on
in that in that scenario. But yeah, it's not great, man.
There's nobody at these games. They're leaving in like the
second quarter, like they don't even going to be there.
It's so bad. Oh my god. Well hey, look, you
know it's at least the game's almost over, and uh
you know, and that's why, uh, that's why God made Booze.

(01:06:32):
You know. Forget all about this stuff of your North Carolina.

Speaker 9 (01:06:36):
Just more, just more listeners for your show. On their
way out of the stadium, think of the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Way, I'm a glass is half full baby, Yeah perhaps literally, yeah,
not Thatt. After this game, it'll be empty, all right,
Thank you, Isaac Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, Isaac mentioned the Brewers nine to one
lead over the Cubs. That game's over, so you can
look forward to game two. And by the way, during

(01:07:01):
the baseball postseason. Strauss made History is the first brand

Strauss makes workwear built to perform smart pocket design, real
comfort and durability you can trust from grit to glory.
Gear up today at Strauss dot com. That's s t
R a Uss dot com. We will have the week

(01:07:24):
five edition of Knox Locks coming up here in about
twelve minutes from now. I did want to mention this
because I thought it was I thought it was kind
of interesting. So one of the things that probably didn't
get talked about a lot following Monday Night Football because
you had double barrel action in Monday Night Football. But
the problem was, like you know, and then the Broncos,

(01:07:44):
like every team sucked, you know what I mean, Like,
I mean, it just it just wasn't It just wasn't great.
I mean, the Bengals without Joe Burrow, I mean, you know,
it's like it's like a car without a steering wheel,
like what are we what are we supposed to do?
It's not you know, so the Bengals are bad. They
get you know, wiped out by the Broncos. I don't

(01:08:06):
even know if the Broncos are good, but they were
playing the Bengals, so they looked good. The Jets and
Dolphins were playing. They were both winless at the time.
You know, I believe the Jets and Dolphins were actually
are thank God for gambling. Game of the Week last
week is of how bad those teams are. The Jets
are just the Jets. It's the Dolphins. Like everybody, it's
almost like a you but like one of the while

(01:08:27):
everybody was talking about that game with the Tyreek kill, injury,
which was awful. One of the things that kind of
got glossed over was the fact that Tua Tagabayi Looa
took a hit in that game while he was sliding,
and it looked exactly like those hits that gave him
the concussion issues in his career. Identical, same slide, the

(01:08:51):
way he landed, hol much to the ground, all of
it identical, except this time you pop right back up.
And so you're thinking, well, you know, maybe it's just uh,
just the helmet design. Maybe it says, well, Tua has
a theory, all right, and his theory makes a ton
of sense, and it also kind of calls out what

(01:09:14):
an entire sport is currently doing. Let's take a.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Listen the brain.

Speaker 13 (01:09:22):
I guess everyone everyone would would be wondering, how did
I feel on that hit and whatnot? Felt perfectly fine,
felt great, you know throughout throughout the years that that
was That was one of the bigger things we we
hadn't addressed, was making sure that I got you know,
a good amount of carbs in my body and you know,

(01:09:42):
so that as I drank water or as I drank
the right stuff or whatever it was. The doctors were
talking about the liquid that your brain sits in and
all of that. And but I guess for for me
from what I come to know or come to understand
from what the doctors we're talking about, is you know,
you're brain kind of sits in fluids. And you know,

(01:10:04):
if I'm eating eggs, bacon, and sausage and there's not
not much carbs, like if there's no bread or whatnot,
you kind of drink water and it'll just flush out
of you. So you can't stay hydrated that way, but
the carbs that kind of help soak that in and
stay there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
All of that makes sense, Like that makes logical sense.
Everything Tua just said like logical sense about the fluid
and the brain and all that, and if you don't
have enough carbs or enough water, it does get to
be properly hydrate. All of it makes sense. So then
why do professional fighters cut weight? Do you know what

(01:10:46):
I mean? Like? Because think about basically, just going by
what Tua said, a guy who's had concussion issues a
history of it, we've seen a play out on national
television took the same exact hit, popped right back up,
and one of his discussions that he was had was
like yeah, I got to be, you know, properly hydrated.
I got to have the right fluid to me. So

(01:11:08):
then why And I say this as the biggest fight
fan you will find anywhere in sports radio, television, I
think anywhere there's a UFC fight. Later on tonight, I'll
be watching boxing like all of it, as big as
anybody you'll find. Why would you have fighters cut weight,

(01:11:32):
literally drain their body of everything to make a weight,
and then twenty four hours later send them out there
to get hit in the head. It makes zero sense
as yet, Well, they've got getta They've got all that
time to you know, to get all the nutrients back
in there. Dude, do you really think if you've cut

(01:11:54):
that much weight, or you're cutting weight to get down
to a certain amount, do you really think in that
amount of time you're going to get every thing back
that you had to cut out of your body to
make the weight. Really you think you think that? Does
that make any sense? Alex Pajeda is fighting for a
UFC title later on tonight. He got down to two

(01:12:16):
hundred and four and a half pounds to make the
weight yesterday morning. Okay, two hundred and four and a
half pounds today he weighed in, he was close to
two thirty five. I'm not making that up. And here's
the best part about that. He was fighting at one

(01:12:38):
eighty five before that, Like he'd been fighting at one
hundred and eighty five pounds before that. So that's how
much weight he has to cut just to make the
weight limit and requirements. And then twenty four hours later
he's gonna fight some guy who's going to be trying
to take his head off. Okay, that makes boy, that

(01:13:00):
makes a ton of sense. And two is basically saying
yeah and talking to people. They're like, hey, you gotta
have fluids, okay, but like the only way you're gonna
get down to certain weight is if you get rid
of those fluids. Like remember, like you see you ever
seen a wrestler, like when you're in high school whatever,
Like a high school wrestling team, they always had a
water ball they would spit into because they're trying to
drain their bodies so they can keep weight. Like you

(01:13:23):
see these guys that go into asana before the fight,
they're basically trying to drain themselves of everything so they
can make a weight. And then you're expecting them to
rehydrate at a certain like did you see Mac Jones
on Thursday night? Did you like, did you see the cramps?
Like he had a cramp under his knee brace. He
was almost throwing up because he was trying to rehydrate

(01:13:45):
so much during the game because he was dealing with
such cramps. Matt Jones saw a dead body before the
game and almost looked like that body that he saw
before the game in the fourth quarter at sofar on
Thursday night because of how dehydrated he was. And yet

(01:14:05):
for some reason where you're asking fighters, professional fighters to
do the exact same thing and then go get hit
in the head. Okay, Like I love it, but maybe
we ought to revisit the whole cutting weight stuff, you know,
you know, maybe hydration is kind of an important element
to this whole thing based on what two is done
as far as research goes. At the Jonas Knox on

(01:14:26):
X at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram and up next,
we are going to close up shop here with another
edition of Knox Locks here on FSR. Jonas Knox Fox

I'm also going to send out a link on our
ig stories at Jonas knock Show, where you can follow
along on Instagram. I will also be posting, by the way,
the insulting tweets that have been said over there were
some real good ones today. I mean, real raunchy, real crude,

(01:15:38):
really offensive, you know, just like like some of you
some of your best work. I don't know if October,
if it's the you know, the fall vibes have brought
out better material in people, but they really let it
fly here earlier in the show, so we will be
posting those on Instagram again at Jonas knock Shows where
you can find that. But right now it is time

(01:15:59):
for this.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Lock it. Let's lock it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Knox Loucks all right, So we're gonna go ahead and
take a look back at last week. It was another
two and one performance. As I mentioned earlier, we had
the Colts and the Rams. We had the Rams as
a three and a half point favorite in that game. Look,
thanks to ad Mitchell. I want to say thank you
to ad Mitchell. The Indianapolis Colts. There was the touchdown

(01:16:25):
that didn't exactly turn into a touchdown because he let
go of the ball and fumble before he actually scored
and then you know, so that was bad. Also, he
was called for a holding on a Jonathan Taylor long
touch or would be touchdown run late in that game,
so that helped out a lot. Ultimately, the Rams get
it done a three and a half point favorite. We

(01:16:45):
picked up a win there the Bears and the Raiders.
We had Chicago getting a point and a half at
Las Vegas. I'm like, man, the Raiders aren't good. I
didn't realize they didn't really need to be good because
they're not. They just needed Max Crosby.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
To be there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
He tormented, absolutely tormented the Bears backup tackle with their
starter Darnell right out and he made a mess of things.
The Bears survived, blocked a field goal at the end.
The Bears plus one and a half was the pick.
Simultaneous to that, we had the Ravens minus two and
a half against the Chiefs. That was a terrible bet.
Lamar Jackson's injured. You got all sorts of problems in

(01:17:22):
Baltimore right now. There's injuries everywhere. They need to get
to a bye week. They need to get to the
bye week, and they need to get to the bye
week in a hurry. So because of that, it spoiled
our perfect week, another two and one performance. We are
five and seven overall on the year, and now it's
time for Week five.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
Giant said Saints.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
For some reason, and I can't figure it out. For
some reason, the New Orleans Saints are favored. They are
currently a one and a half point favorite against the
New York Giants. New Orleans stinks. The Giants have got energy,

(01:18:06):
They've got life, there's some juice in the building. You've
got Jackson dart out there dancing after a touchdown run.
You've got Cam Scataboo doing flips and every it feels
like everybody's fired up, and the Giants are back like
one little switch at quarterback and all of a sudden
there's life there. So why the hell would New Orleans
be favored in this game? And it's got to be

(01:18:28):
one of those somebody knows something lines, somebody must know
something that. And let's be honest here, how many times
are we going to get an opportunity to bet on
the Saints this year and feel good about it? So
because of that, I'm gonna go with New Orleans as
a point and a half favorite at home to get
it done against the New York Giants.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Buccaneers at Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
I'll take Tampa Bay getting three and a half points
on the road, actually four points on the road in
some places, Tampa Bay's getting four points on the road
at Seattle. This may be some preseason stuff here. I
might be holding on to my preseason takes on the
Seattle Seahawks. They're way better than I thought they would be.
But in the battle of former Carolina Panthers quarterbacks who

(01:19:14):
have made good elsewhere and elsewhere from Cleveland and New York.
Like these two quarterbacks have, I'm gonna take Tampa Bay
on the road. They're getting three and a half to
four points in this spot. Give me the Bucks to
get it done. In Seattle, Lions and Bengals, the Bengals
are getting ten and a half points at home. For
the love of Christ, can you just not lose by

(01:19:35):
more than ten points? That's it, all right, And let's
be honest here about the Lions. The Lions wins this
year have been against the Bears, the Ravens, and the Browns.
As it turns out, those teams probably aren't very good. Okay,
So while I like the Lions, I like the way
they've played since they're opening week loss, I think they're
gonna win here in Cincinnati. I just need the Bengals

(01:19:57):
to keep it within ten and a half. If you
can do that, you'll make me a happy man. And
that is your Week five edition of Knox Locks. I
don't feel great about anything. I'm like you know right now, Knocks.
If there is a week to fade, this is the
week to do so. By the way, thanks to Bo Benson,
thanks to Isaac the pompous and thanks to Chris Purfett,

(01:20:19):
it's been a fun one right here on FSR

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
Jonas Son of a Bitch
