Speaker 1 (00:00):
The following content does not reflect the opinions of Fox
Sports Radio. Frankly, it shouldn't reflect your opinions either.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
All right, all right, yeah, mento your life from Philling.
It's the number one rated Polly and Tony Fools show. Yo,
as always, Polly Fools gohead with Tony Fools going.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Tony Huge Go.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You know, we'll tell you why Jerry Jones got very lucky,
and we'll tell you why the Bengals just made a
dumb move. You know, we must say something very serious
and sobering up top here. You know, out of respect
for our partners at Fox Sports Radio, we are going
to do our best route this show to very delicately
handle the obviously disturbing situation involving on air. Analyst Mark said,

(00:54):
you know who does work with Fox and you know
we will do our best not to mention the stabb
i n G. Yeah, as we've I'm told that's saying
that word will get us blocked on the algorithms which
are apparently against that type of violent behavior.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
I guess you know it's clearly those algorithms have never
met our producer, because you know if they did, they
would want him d e a.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
D good there you go. Good. Absolutely, and you.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Know, also on a lighter note, you know, we saw
something so great this week, didn't we, Tony? This Lebron
James second decision at campaign just.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
So so smart, clever.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
It teased the whole internet saying that he was going
to be making a second decision, another big decision, and
then well, spoiler alert, it turned out that the decision
was that he was going to drink Hennessy, and that
the whole thing was one big advertisement. And like most people, Tony,
I totally didn't see this coming out. No, I didn't

(01:58):
say it. Come Tony, I totally fell for it. You know,
I thought he was going to retire all week.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Didn't you?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah exactly. I thought he was gonna go play in
Greece or something.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, we got fooled, just just like everybody. Like everybody else,
we also got inspired, right because yeah, we're gonna do
on today's show. You know, we're gonna reveal some news
to a big decision. That's that's I want to say,
just as huge, bigger than you thought what was gonna
happen with Lebron, you know, die, and we promise it's huge.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I don't want to oversell it too much, but it's
literally guaranteed to change your life.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
That's not an oversell no, so anyway, U.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
But one quick thing you out there, you know like
you're probably listening to the show, watching and think you
could just continue to sit there and watch it for.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Like a lump you get on your Tobe.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
You like your subscribe comment you let's get review on
Apple podcasts.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, you do all that.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now let's get into a top story story, all right.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
First, out to the gate.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been fined two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars by the NFL for sticking his middle
finger at Jets fans during the Cowboys win over the
Jets on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Now, a lot of people are saying that Jerry Jones is.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Likely to appeel to find But I think he got
off easy here, don't you, Donty?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
You know Jerry Jones is lucky that he only came
away with a fine here. Imagine if he flipped off
the Jets when Mark Sanchez was still on the team.
We know Mark Sanchez has no problem whatsoever attacking an elderly,
helpless old man and bringing him within an inch of
his life. And you know, imagine if he flipped off

(03:43):
the Patriots when Aaron Hernandez was there and on the team,
he'd currently be in a ditch somewhere.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Just such valuable perspective that Dony and Well, Now to
other NFL dos, the Bengals, I've traded with.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
The Browns for QB Joe.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Flacker, who will now start Sunday against the Packers, the
same team that Flacco beat in Week three when he
led the Browns over Green doty your thoughts it.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
By my projections, Joe Flacco will continue to show his
total domination over Green Bay as he did with the
Browns and lead the Bengals to a victory over the
Packers this Sunday and then next Sunday. The Cardinals will
trade for Joe Flacco before their matchup against the Packers

(04:31):
in Week seven so that they can win that game.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Two.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Then in Week eight, the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade for
Joe Flacco against the Packers to give them more of
an advantage since the Packers know how to defend Aaron Rodgers.
Then in Week nine, the Carolina Panthers will sign Joe
Flacco to lead them against the Packers and then probably

(04:58):
keep him since anyone's better than Bryce Young.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Just terrific predictive analysis that, Dody. And you know what,
I'm still wondering with this whole Flacco Bengals knows.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do the Bengals really.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Think Joe Flacco is the long term answer for the
Dame Creed? I mean, how did the Bengals go with
Flacco when Mark Sanchez was.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Sitting right there?

Speaker 3 (05:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I mean, you know, you break it down.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
First, Flaco's forty years old, Sanchez is a ripe thirty
eighth and well, second, what's the one thing every athlete.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Needs to win? A killer instinct?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
There you go, and well, Mark Sanchez literally has a
killer instinct. Yeah, which makes him a perfect fit for
the Bengals culture, which is a proud history of employing
convicted felons. You know, Sanchez also survived a brutal attack,
and well, every AFC North game is Jason is basically
just one big brutal attack, right.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Doty couldn't agree more.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
And you know, people might say Mark Sanchez is a
terrible quarterback with terrible judgment, which you know is true,
Yeah exactly, But what if you brought him in as
a full back. I mean, what's the most important stat
in football? Yards after contact exactly. And Sanchez took two

(06:17):
sharp hits to the chest and got pepper sprayed and
still rushed for about two hundred yards as seen in
that surveillance video.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's impressive, very impressive, Tody.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
And well, you know another thing we got to talk about,
not so impressive, but on the subject to running backs,
big story out of Arizona Cardinals coach Jonavan Gannon fined
one hundred k by the team after he shoved running
back Amari de Marcato after Demarcado let go of the
ball right before the goal line, costing the Cardinals a

(06:51):
touchdown yep, and eventually the game to the crappy Titans.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Now, Tody, I got a side with coach Gannon there.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right, Frankly, I think we got to do ball to
teach these idiot kids to stop by fumbling the ball
before the goal line. You know, you had such a
great solution the other day.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Tell the people you know.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
It's a solution that I know is going to be
a little controversial, but hear me out forced castration and
what that means is that when a player drops a ball,
then they literally have to drop their ball, you know,
like the team doctor comes in and he slices off

(07:31):
a testicle, you know, ye, And it's the only way
to stop this from happening. And if you think it's
too extreme, well look no further than the Bible, because
what do they say over there, an I for an
eye for an eye exactly. You know, isn't an eye
technically a ball? You know, So shouldn't that mean that
we should be cutting off a man's balls if he

(07:53):
drops balls?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Just add diet logical around that.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Don't eat And well before we get the base ball,
which is next done my set. You know, I keep
thinking about this decision we're gonna make all I can
think about it exactly, And you gotta one does that
the audience, you gotta think assume they're just sitting there too.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's all they're thinking about. You know, what are we
gonna say? What is this big decision? You know?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Are we gonna in the show permanently? You know, A
We're gonna go the business, see the Today Show. We're
taking over the Today Show. Thing is possible right now?

Speaker 3 (08:23):
You know, hey, you know, frankly, I'm struggling to keep
this all a secret because I know how huge this
all is me too, Yeah, you know, but you know,
we can't give it up yet because then you know,
it ruins the whole revealed the whole thing, and also
our YouTube watch time.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
There's that though, Well we'll keep going then, you people
just stupid show something anyway. All right, let's get the
baseball m there'll be postseason and the Yankees, okay, they
flamed out of the postseason yet again with just another
embarrassing loss, this time to a Canadian thing, which you
know makes it even worse and just deeply unpatriotic. And

(09:02):
you know, frankly, the Yankees deserve it, you know, because
I'm just so sick of these teams with their disgustingly massive.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Payrolls, thinking they could just buy a.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
World series, just going buy, you know, put up that
list producer of the top three teams by payroll. Okay,
so as you can see at the butt what hold on,
not again, not not this again. I told you top
three up three, But he don't scroll up, You're.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Scrolling down, scroll squll the other way.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
He's clearly just trying to get the phillies on the
screen because he's a hater exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
We're talking about the Yankees. Yeah, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Anyway, sticking with the Yankees the subject here.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
You know, after they lost, there were a lot of
strange quotes from the team, but the strangers came from
Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpi. Okay, I'm just gonna rad you.
This is directly from ESPN dot com. Okay, what he said? Okay,
quote it's brutal, said Yankee shortstop Anthony Volpi, who finished
the series one fifteen with ten strikeouts.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Quote, I'm kind of in shock. So let me get
this straight, Donty.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Anthony Volpi was shocked by the Yankees loss, even though
he struck out ten times in the series and sixteen
times in his last nineteen at bats.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
How do you explain any of this, Don'ty?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
You just have to won the You know, does Anthony
Volpi think that he's a pitcher, because you know, getting
sixteen strikeouts and nineteen at bats is not bad for
a pitcher.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
It's the only explanation that makes any sense, Tony.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Anyways, Look, okay, look, you know we got a lot
going on here people. You know, Eagles tonight playing the
Giants win Thursday, Phillies playing the win. We got allowed
to get through. Obviously, the team's waiting there for our advice.
You know, you'll pre show us actually as we always give.
So you know what, we're gonna cut it short here
and the show just get out then down.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Now are you kidding me? You know what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
First of all, ever, everybody knows we're about to reveal
a big decision.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is now a big moment in the moment? Yeah? What?
Oh my god, this guy? You kidding me? What you
just going? You to go go?

Speaker 4 (11:13):
You said the Yankees should be embarrassed because they lost
to a Canadian baseball team.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, pedetic, deeply unpatriotic.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Bro Ye, you seem to be forgetting that the Phillies
lost the World Series to the Toronto Blue Jays in
the nineties.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh yeah, well you seem to be forgetting my machete.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, and guess what, Jay, You're going to be a
Blue j after I suffocate you.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh and maybe you should suffocate him now because he's
because he's still talking.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
What you said that NFL team should keep trading for
Joe Flacco so they can start him against the Packers
because he beat them once already.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, makes sense, bro, smart strategy, broyeah.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
No, it's dumb. There's a trade deadline week eight, and
after that teams won't be able to send their players
anywhere or acquire new players.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Oh yeah, well I'm going to send you to the
bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yeah, and you know what, everyone hopes you acquire polio.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh for that, because we got a beta Tony, it's
time the bab we get a drum roll a moment
the drum roll.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Okay, we've thought long and hard about this decision, and
Tony and I have decided to have Nick Foles on
the show.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Wow, that's just in we discripsition. I know you're sitting there.
