lie from the guy, go Fox Sports Radio Studios. What
are you talking about? What is this your first day
on the job. Here's Jonas Knocks getting the fast lane
Grandma on the pingle game. It's ready to roll. Oh,

(00:57):
we're gonna take a trip down memory Lane. At trip
down memory Lane that I did not plan on taking.
I wasn't looking forward to taking. I wasn't even thinking
about taking. But I was dragged into this, so of
course I've got to start out with it. And we'll
get to that here coming up in just a couple
of minutes. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can check

the day in high school that me and my friends
had talked about doing. This was something that we had
wanted to do. We had discussed it. Uh, we had.
I got three or four of us were willing to

(02:00):
fork out our own money to try and make it happen. Like,
we were really all into this because we were out
to prove a point that people just fake it sometimes. Right,
I'm not talking about that, Get your minds out of
the gutter. I'm talking about this our big plan. And
the reason I'm bringing this up is because I kind
of got a little taste of it over the past

(02:22):
twenty four hours on Twitter from an NFL fan base.
All Right, so here was our plan. We wanted to
do the o'duel's test for those of you non drinkers
out there, which I believe is like two percent of
our listening audience. The o'duel's test was this, o'duels is

(02:42):
a nonalcoholic beer. There's no alcohol in it, a very
very small amount, but you would need to drink like
a gazillion uh to even feel a little bit buzzed.
So it's a non alcoholic beer. What we wanted to
do is we wanted to buy a k of oh
Duels and throw a house party. And the reason we

(03:04):
wanted to do it is because we want to identify
who was full of crap. Back in high school, there
was this term called flailing. If you were flailing, you
were acting like you were drunk when you really weren't drunk.
To try and fit in with everybody, you had like
uh half of a zema uh and chased it with
an Ecto cooler, and to make it seem like you

(03:26):
were fitting in, you stumbled around the room like you
were Trevor Berbick after Tyson hit him in the temple.
It was called flailing, and so we got so annoyed
with it that we thought, you know what, why don't
we just buy a kegobo Duels and let's just start
calling people out who's full of crap here, like, like,
who who really is full of crap? Here? That happened
on Twitter, And here's how it happened. I'm mind of

(03:50):
my own business, just a normal Thursday night, sitting with
my mom, my best friend in the world, watching Thursday
night football all and watching the NBA on T n T,
totally relaxed, not doing a damn thing, nothing wrong. And
I just happened to go on Twitter and I see

(04:11):
that I've got like twenty plus notifications, and I think
to myself, well, I'm not that cool, and I don't
tweet that much, and I don't it sound like a
verified or anything like that. I'm not Nick Mullins. And
I get verified after I light up the radar defense.
That's atrocious. So I'm thinking, what am I missing here?

(04:32):
And I checked the notifications and the fanboy and fan
girl Carolina Panthers fan base started responding to a tweet
that was sent out by Fox Sports Radio in August. Hey,

(04:53):
a three month old segment we did on the show
in August that I'll be honest with you, I completely
forgot about had no idea that this was even still
a discussion, or that that I had even still done
that segment, because again, it was three months ago. I
lived in the Carolinas. I was a resident of South Carolina.

(05:16):
It's not that far from North Carolina. I had decent
WiFi down there. But apparently it takes three months for
that bitter and sensitive fan base to get ahold of
a tweet from Fox Sports Radio in which I called
out all the quarterbacks in the NFL I would rather
have over Cam Newton. Here's where the o'doul's aspect of

(05:40):
this comes from. If you actually click the link and
listen to it, you would have heard me say on
multiple occasions, I like Cam Newton. I think Cam Newton's
a great football player. I've even stated I think he's
a Hall of Famer. But because I had a bunch

(06:02):
of other players that were all put together on a list,
a list I didn't create. On the tweet, everybody only
responded to the list instead of actually clicking on the
link and hearing the audio. They were what I was
always aspiring when I wanted to throw that o'duel's party.
I wanted to see who was full of crap? And

(06:23):
I got my answer. It's Carolina panther fanboy and fan
girls who thought I was being mean to their quarterback,
so instead of clicking the link and actually listening, they
just fired off all sorts of good stuff. This Here
were some of the highlights, just so you can understand
what it's like to deal with these people, all right.
Here were some of the highlights. These are some of
the things that I was called by Carolina Panther fans Um.

(06:46):
They used the R word. I don't even know if
I can say it on the air without getting in
trouble for it, but mentally handicapped. We'll just say that
the R word for mentally handicap. That came through multiple times.
I was also told to delete my account. I had
another individual tell me to kill myself. He also followed

(07:07):
that up to tweets later with d M him with
what quarterbacks I would have in front of Cam Newton now?
And I replied to him and said, hold on a second, man,
you just told me to kill myself, and now you're
telling me to d M. You are you hitting on me?
What's happening here? I why don't eat? I don't even
get I was lost. I don't even understand what's happening. Uh.

(07:27):
There was other strange behavior as well too. I had
a woman tell me that she was so outraged by
my commentary on Cam Newton. Again, commentary that is three
months old. I had a woman tell me that she
was muting me because of how dumb my take was.
I don't even know what that means. What, what is muting?

(07:50):
What is what? What happens when you mute somebody? I
don't even block people on Twitter. I don't care enough
to do it. And she says, I'm muting you, but
if you'd like to have a real versation, you can
DM me. Wait what what? What? So holding? You're muting me?
And now you want me to DM you. Very very

(08:10):
strange behavior in Carolina, Very strange over a three month
old post. And again, my commentary on Cam Newton wasn't
unfair at the time. Cam Newton had regressed every single
season since his Super Bowl run. That's a fact. All

(08:31):
I did was say, I like Cam Newton. I'm a
fan of Cam Newton's I think he's a great, great,
great football player. I think he's a Hall of Famer.
But these are quarterbacks around the league I would rather
have at quarterback than Cam Newton. And to be honest
with you, I've been way more reasonable and fair with

(08:53):
Cam Newton than a lot of other people on in media.
That's a After the Super Bowl, Cam got crushed because
he didn't dive on a football in the game, and
because he was annoyed after the game and got up
and walked away and had a bad attitude. And I

(09:14):
supported Cam Newton. I said, hold on a second. I mean,
I'm on the roads every single day here in southern California.
If somebody cuts you off, you're throwing change at their
windshield or turning on your windshield wipers, which is a
great trick by the way, if you're on the freeway
and you get in front of somebody, just throwing the
windshield wipers if they're tailing you and splat of the
car behind you, it's really fun to do. But I

(09:35):
supported I said, listen, we all are piste off when
something doesn't go our way. Imagine if every day you
have a bad day at work or somebody pisces you off,
fifteen mics are shoved in your face to say hey
for what happened out there. F you get away from me.
I supported Cam Newton. I defended him. I said, you
guys are way, way, way too ridiculous with some of

(09:55):
the criticism on Cam Newton, I mean over the top.
I supported the guy. But for some reason, a three
month old tweet out of the blue that I didn't
stir up, I didn't retweet, I didn't like last night
to try and generate clicks nothing. For some reason, I

(10:17):
got bombarded by fan boys and fan girls. And it's
not just fans. There are media members out there, media
members who are portraying themselves as unbiased, who have uh
their Twitter handle is like at panther whisker dot net
or something like that, and they're out there talking about

(10:39):
how I don't know what I'm discussing here, and no
wonder I'm this, and no wonder I'm the It's crazy,
absolute craziness, and it just goes to show you it's
the mob mentality by fans on Twitter. You're the old
duels drinkers at a party, acting drunk because you don't
realize it's old duels. You have no idea, no idea.

(11:00):
Some of the most amazing reaction I've ever gotten, and
I was even being accused of doing it on purpose. Again,
I knew nothing about this, nothing, completely bombarded out of
nowhere and it was awesome. I thought it was fantastic
just to see the reaction of that many dumb people.

(11:21):
It's like dumb people. I'm not a smart guy, but
I swear to Christ I've never felt more brilliant than
the last twenty four hours dealing with these people on Twitter.
It has been amazing. I mean, the list of the
list that was put together wasn't even done in order.
I didn't even put the list in order, and they
were accusing me of that. It is just awesome, awesome

(11:43):
stuff by that fan base. Man, what a good time.
I also had some people tell me that, um that
all I am is an emergency filling guy. Yeah, I
heard that, to which my reply was, that's a bunch
of crap. There are times where I even get an
hour and a half notice before I come into work.
All right, so f you, all right, don't don't you

(12:06):
discredit this highly rated weekend overnight show. Here, by the way,
we will have an updated list on the Cam Newton
rankings in the NFL. You guys wanted it, You're gonna
get it. So sorry, tough balls. You poked me hard
enough and and you poked the bear long enough. You're
gonna get it. So we will have an updated list
on Cam Newton coming up later on in the show. UH.

(12:27):
So the people are wearing their Ricky Prole throwback jerseys.
Uh can all cry in their beers and complain because
I didn't have ranked high enough without actually clicking on
the link and hearing all the compliments I gave him.
So enjoy your oh duels. The new list is coming
out later on Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, as we

(12:47):
Radio studios. UM, you can get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter, you
can even find some of the replies that I have
sent back to some of these nimrods that have been
bombarding me the last twenty four hours eight seven seven
ninety nine on Foxes the phone number eight seven seven
six three six nine. Uh and coming up next year

(13:08):
on Fox Sports Radio. There is a situation in the
NFL that we can all relate to. Every single one
of us can relate to this situation. And if I
actually explain it to you the way I'm about to,
I think you'll look at it completely differently. Find out
what we're talking about next year on fs are oh
Man Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio coming to you Alive

(13:31):
from the getic Fox Sports Radio studios. Let me just
say this, I do see the tweets that you are sending. Um,
the individual sending the sincerely tweets, that's an old school
tweet from back in the day. Old school sports radio
people would send an emails because there was no text

(13:52):
line or Twitter or anything like that, and they would
write something like, uh, I mean, I can't even think
of what would be um like uh, yeah, you know,
I I hate it when uh, you know, when people
get ahold of my phone Sincerely, Brett Farve, you know,
stuff like that. I mean that like that would be
sort of what that material is if you grew up
on nineties sports talk radio or early two thousand sports

(14:15):
talk radio, That's what a lot of that was filled with.
I wish we had more of it. I wish people
would do those sincerely tweets more because an individual has
fired off a couple that I would love to read
on the air, but I don't want to lose my job. Okay,
So for the individual author who was listening to this
and he knows who I'm talking about, if we could
just just bring him down a notch, you know, probably

(14:37):
two notches would be better. I would love to read
more of those on the air. Big fan of these
sincerely tweets. So, all right, so there's a situation in
the NFL all of us can relate to. I'm gonna
get to that here coming up momentarily here on Fox
Sports Radio. But I do want to welcome in the crew.
They're gonna be writing Shotgun with me until six am
Eastern time here on FS are ladies and gentlemen, make

(15:00):
some noise for your technical producer, Iowa Sam. Yeah, you
told me about that tweet, and it's, uh, it's inappropriate.
It's little heartless, it is. But but look, I'm not
trying to deter them. I'm not trying to deter that.
Sometimes the food is too spicy doesn't mean it's bad food,
just a little too spicy for that that meal. You know,

(15:21):
let's just go ahead and take off of some of
the Hoban arrows and you know, serve that bad boy
back up. And uh. And I would love to read
stuff like that because I'm a big fan of the
sincerely yours truly signed tweets. I love that sort of humor.
It's old school sports radio. I'd love to bring that back.
So iwa Sam fired up? Who the Hawkeyes play this weekend?
Got another by all right? That's an easy win. I

(15:43):
don't know, actually not favorite. That's an easy win. Come on,
I will over Purdue. You got it for me? Ask
me something about Purdue. Nobody knows more about Purdue than
I do. Who is their head coach? That one guy?
Ryan Dennis is your executive producer here at Fox Sports Radio.
Hate the no, he does not. What's going on, Jonas?

(16:04):
How you doing? Man? I get well, We've got week
number two of the Ryan Dennis experience here. He is
larger than last week, which means he has been juicing
to the gills all week in the gym. He's got
he's got a three xcel Metallica shirt on. It looks
like a bib. He is ROI did to the max.
You're on Fox Sports Radio. This is actually the only

(16:25):
one that still has sleeves on it. I cut the
rest off. You know, I just got back from it.
You know, I don't believe you. That's the way it goes.
By the way, Ryan Dennis and I um are big
workout fitness geeks, and we are developing a segment idea
on pet Peeves in the gym. We don't have a
name for it. We don't have a structure for it
or imaging or anything like that, but it is under development.

(16:47):
I think it's going to be a home run, absolutely.
I I mean, as we were talking previously, we could
go on all day, but we might have to confine
it just just a couple of minutes. Yeah, it'll be
It'll be a weekly appearance. So so Ryan Dennis is here.
We've got no World series going nine hours, so we
can actually have a real show. Have to keep updating
as to as to what picture is still pitching with

(17:07):
his arm falling off. Um and then, ladies and gentlemen,
the voice of l A Sports Radio, pay your respects
to the great Kevin Figures. You know I ran into
a blue suit at the gym guy earlier today myself.
That's one of my mr I can't leave work at
at at home or I can't I can't leave work
in the office. I've got to take it to the

(17:28):
gym with me. Let me take an eight minute break
in between my super setting to really bust this business deal.
Right quick. And by the way, I'm all up in
the ear and the guy next to me just trying
to just get his work out in. That guy next
to me is me just you know what up? Yeah,
you suck, pal Mr the other guy and I don't
want to go off on a ran here, but the
guy who jumps rope in the gym, you are such

(17:48):
a toolbox man. You suck. Go outside, Go to a
place where you're not gonna whip everybody like their helicopter blades.
I don't want to walk through there and feel like
I'm gonna get half my skull ripped off because you
want to pretend like you're on the set of Rocky nine.
Shut up, leave the gym. Are we on the air?
By the way, Jon Jones, you know who the new
Bluetooth guy is. It's the person with the Q tip

(18:09):
in their ear. That Yeah, you got the white Q
tip in your ear. Call me old fashioned, but I
need cords. I don't want to drop that. Give me chords, man,
Just go under your shirt. And by the way, that's
the advantage to wearing a V neck. You got room
to move. It's not gonna get caught up on everything
exactly all right, okay, so we we need to get

(18:31):
to the whole crew is gonna be here until six
am Eastern time here on Fox Sports Radio, so you
can get to me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks.
Also in about five minutes from now here on FS
are David Anderson, BFF of the show, former NFL wide receiver,
is going to join us. So this is a situation
in the NFL that I think people are being unrealistic about,
and I'll break it down to a way that we

(18:53):
can all understand it and relate to. You ever go
to a housewarming party, they're fun, right, You bring some gifts,
have a few drinks they got or dubs, all the
other things laying around like. It's fun. It's a celebration.
It's an exciting time for new homeowners, you know, their
first real big purchase together maybe and and they fixed
it up and it's a nice set up, and they're

(19:15):
really really excited to show off their brand new pad
to all their friends. And you're there to celebrate the moment.
You're there to have a good time and celebrate the
success of the people you care about in your life
the most um it's also done if you'll notice anytime
you go to a housewarming party when they're ready to

(19:37):
show off the house, that's when those house swarming parties
are done. Like, you'll never go to a housewarming party
and the electricians are still working inside. That's never gonna happen. Okay,
there's nobody in there painting the walls while you're at
the house swarming party. All right, You're never gonna go
to a housewarming party that's got no furniture because they

(19:58):
just got the flooring down. That the that's that's never
gonna happen. It's gonna be all set up, it's gonna
be all dialed in. You're also never gonna go to
a housewarming party where they still haven't cleaned up the
blood stain on the carpet from the previous owner. Never
gonna happen. Why, Because they're still rebuilding. You don't get
to see it until they're done. The Raiders are a rebuild.

(20:24):
The difference you're getting to see it each week. If
what you saw on Thursday night surprised you, then you
have not been paying close enough attention. This should not
have been a surprise. This is the Oakland Raiders. They
are a rebuild. I said it last week. If we're surprised,

(20:47):
and I'm partly to blame too, because I assumed that
the Raiders were built to win and have this exciting
young roster. If we're all still surprised that the Raiders
are struggling this bad, then that's on us my self
as well too. If I was still surprised to see
the Raiders struggle each week, I'm partly to blame for
it because my expectations were completely out of whack because

(21:10):
we missed misread this team a couple of years ago
when they went twelve and four. I talked about it
last week. I said, look, go back and look at
that season. How many close games, how many breaks went
their way, how many things had to line up just
perfectly for them to go twelve and four. Everybody focuses
so much on Derek Carr's injury later in the season.
They don't focus in on all the close wins they had,

(21:33):
all the narrow escapes going for two with time expiring,
all the other things that had to line up perfectly,
and the schedule as well for them to come together
with twelve winds like, we're not paying close enough attention.
But if you've actually paid attention and listened to the
show last week, or you looked and did the research

(21:53):
on what the team really was two years ago, you
would have realized this is a rebuild. They were a
turnkey operation. They're in the middle of a rebuild. And
they've got sixteen house swarming parties this season sixteen. And
every time you go over there, you notice a new

(22:13):
flaw who they finally got the kitchen done. All right,
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go take a leak. I'll
see you guys in twenty minutes. And you go in there, uh,
and there's a dead rat hanging from the ceiling because
they just haven't gotten to that part of the room.
It's a house swarming party every week for a house
it's not finished. It's a rebuild. It's under construction. So

(22:36):
to judge this team and what the future is gonna
be without knowing the future is dumb. We have no idea.
I know it's easy. It's fun to pick on John Gruden,
and it's fun when they show him on the sideline
and he's always making a face. A one minute's Popeye,
the next minute he's chucky, the next minute he looks
like one of those old school giggle cookies that you

(22:58):
used to buy when we were kids. These have funny
faces on the cookies because apparently that worked and sold
things like that's fun to look at. It's fun, but
come on, man, like, be realistic about it. They are
under construction. You cannot judge this team nor John Gruden
until you see what the finished product is. Jonas Knocks

(25:09):
out which way is easier. David Anderson, former NFL wide receiver,
set to join us here in just a moment. You
want to let you know we are gonna have another
edition of Do You Care in about fifteen minutes from
now one of my favorite parts of the show, Do
You Care? Coming up fifteen minutes from now here on
Fox Sports Radio. But as I mentioned, he is a
former NFL wide receiver. He is the BFF of this show.

(25:32):
David Anderson joining us now here on Fox Sports Radio.
H Dave, I want to get right into it because
I was talking a little bit about the Raiders situation
and just the disaster that Thursday night was what do
you make of the current situation in Oakland? John Gruden
and his second run as Raiders head coach. I've been
telling people, like teams that are thinking it works in

(25:55):
the NBA and the because guys have guaranteed contract, it's
next too impossible to convince NFL players to go out
there and play hard, even though you can clearly see
you we're not trying to win football games, because I mean,
he's in that game guy in San Francisco forty Niners
shattering his forearm. It's gross. And you're saying, like, oh, Raiders,

(26:16):
I want to do this even though we're not trying
to win, and you're I'm not going to do my
best to make you look good. I'm not giving you
good teammates around you. How can you ever convince guys
to do that? And I think that's what John Gruden
has finally has found himself, and it's a really tough
situation to motivated football team. He had an interview with
Howie Long a Fox where he talked about he's getting

(26:37):
calls from now whether or not it's tampering. I have
no idea who, by the way, who cares let everybody tamper.
I don't give a crap. But he was talking about
how he's got guys that are calling him that all
want to be a part of the Raiders. Are you
buying that at all? Is it gonna be a hard
sell for John Gruden to get players to want to
come play for him. I used to tell all the
girls in high school, and they wouldn't say he has

(26:58):
to be the promise, be like, you don't know all
these damn straight so many Now I mean, I'll take
you if you say yes now, but if you don't,
I'm gonna take the other hot other d dave. I
still do that move. By the way, your name and
my phone is Denise, just in case anybody steps that
I got that's my move. I've been doing that for

(27:19):
twenty years. I got no problem with that. Now when
you're married the females by how many miguels do you know?
I don't know what are you asking for? Um? But
but is it? Is he going to have an issue
trying to get players to want to go to Vegas.

(27:40):
To me, if I were a player and you're telling me,
and I'm in my twenties that I can go live
in Vegas and play football in Vegas where there's no
state tax and it's Vegas, I'm signing up for that man,
I'm sorry, Vegas situation is gonna be fun for everyone, right,
that's the truth. The situation that you're paying taxes. Then

(28:01):
you don't do it that in Florida. You don't do
that in Texas. Anyway, It's gonna have a certain kind
of Uh. I don't know what do you can say
where the French sie students to Quara or something. It's
got a certain feelings who are playing in that city. Um,
but like it's not gonna be for everyone. But if
there's a fan base and a team that can handle it,

(28:23):
iss scan later. So I don't think I don't think
that's part of the cell. I think part of the
cell is, Hey, I promise I wan't one in fifteen last, Like,
how do you sell that? Yeah? I just I wonder
if there's if there's gonna be if the energy is
going to be so overwhelming, because they've never had a
team board they just got a hockey team and they
were the talk of the league. And this is the

(28:44):
NFL and it's the raid is as John Gruden would say,
and they're gonna be in I mean, imagine leaving an
NFL game in Vegas and you just walk right over
to the lux. That's the thing about like family. Like
I was in Houston and my my friends, Like, I
was like, hey, you guys want to come up with
some games. You had to ask him to Covenity. It's

(29:05):
a little more of an exciting city now. But you
don't have to ask you want to go to Vegas,
those guys are gonna get tickets. And the one thing
I think people are drafting una estimated is like sponsorship
and stuff like that. These big companies already go to
Vegas for some bozo convention every year. Right, there's this
plastics convention, and there's the the cost convention, and there's

(29:28):
the sales convention, and all these big companies go out there.
They're already buying boxes. They're gonna lock up boxing. And
so instead of going to whatever sook basil Ay, you
can go to the Raiders Packers game on Sunday night football.
That's way better. So they're gonna have no problem feeling
sees gonna be a great stadium. I don't think he
doesn't need to sell like, oh, people are banging on
my door. We hope so, like, but you gotta win

(29:50):
football games. No one wants to play for Losers. David Anderson,
former NFL wide receiver BFF of the Show with Us
Here on Fox Sports Radio, Jonas knocks with you, Um,
let me talk talk to you about Amari Cooper. He
was one of the guys that's been traded away from Oakland.
You being a receiver in the NFL, how difficult is
it for a receiver to step into a different offense,

(30:10):
a new offense and have an impact immediately? So I
gotta ask this question. Actually, guys in Denver talking about
Damarius Thomas someone over the Texans, and I was I, I,
you know, went to a couple of different teams and
I actually had to learn a completely new offense when
I went to Denver. But what you quickly realize is

(30:30):
conceptually it's all the same. It's just calling is something different,
and so like, oh this is flood. Oh the f
is the trigger word instead of like the motion man
is the trigger word or something like that. If there's
just a little triggers that kind of that will set
off the concepts in his mind. He doesn't have to
relearn all of NFL offenses. He'll quickly realize, oh, I'm

(30:51):
back soon on a flood concept. Oh, I'm the inside
on a spray concept. Oh I'm over the top on
this on this combo route. Like he'll quickly pick that
stuff up. So it's just a matter of like telling
him right, the right thing to do, and don't forget
that the NFL, so you can quickly week to week
biggest tag him, you know what I mean, Mamaric's probably
playing Z. I can just say, like Z S three

(31:13):
the cross, the over V deep over Z come back
and just tell him what to do every play that
he's in, so it's not too bad. David Anderson, former
NFL wide receiver. One of the coaches that you played
for was Kyle Shanahan, who with again a quarterback Nick Mullins,
who I've never heard of in my life, goes on
National TV Illinois Southern Miss. Okay Southern by the way,

(31:37):
I thought Southern Miss was the Screaming Eagles. Apparently it's
the Golden Eagles. I had no idea. I thought it
was all the screaming Eagles, But what the hell do
I know? Anyways, so he takes that guy on on
a short week and he puts together the greatest quarterback
rating since the merger for for a first time start
in the NFL. It's incredible. Talk about Kyle Shanahan and

(32:00):
what it's like to play for him. Kyle was and
now I didn't play for every NFL coach. Um. Everyone
will say Bill Belchakes the best, but I think Kyle
Standan is the best at scheming up wide open, big place. Um.
He has a knack for knowing exactly how certain players
in certain situations are going to react to certain fakes

(32:23):
or certain formations, certain subtleties. I'll never forget. Um. Uh,
we were down in the red zone against them, the
ball from our ravens and one of our red zone packages.
He's like, hey, oh, and if you just nod your
head this way for an extra count, ray Lewis will
just sprint to the corner like he is so built
on understanding at route concepts. Will sprint to the corner

(32:44):
that just stopped, turn around, will throw the ball right
to the back of your head catcher for a touchdown.
And it was the exact thing that happened. Oh and
hung his head a little extra long, and all of
a sudden, Ray Lewis took off for the corner, looking
up for the ball. Oh and turned around the other
way and was right on his face for a touchdown.
So he has a great He has a great feel
for the game and understanding where guys are gonna avoid
certain areas and he obviously took he saw Pierre Grassans

(33:07):
first touchdown, there was no more than like forty yards
of them. So he's just always been good at that
understanding kind of where guys give up their leverage and
what their what their keys are and uses against them.
And so you can do that. The problem is you
can't do that every week. You gotta hope you find
some guys. Uh, and sometimes you're dead wrong in your
quarterbacks failure you out of a play. But he's right on. Now,

(33:29):
let me ask you what the player equivalent like that,
because that's incredible that a guy can do that much
film work and that much film study and know when
an all time great like Ray Lewis will do something
and how he can trigger him to do that to
set up an easy score. Who's the player equivalent to that?
A guy that you played with that just knew everything
that some other team was about to do and was

(33:51):
always prepared in that fashion. Mark bruner Um was like
a fourteen year China and played for the Steelers and
played for us of the text, and he was your
twelve four team was there, and he seemed to know
every single blitz package package. There's like when you're younger,
you you play like, uh, you know, just like with

(34:12):
your hairs on fire. You're looking all over the place
and you're just you're just hoping you find the right thing.
He always knew what was coming. He was extremely patient
on the field. But so even if he got slower
and you blitz packages and new coverages, you know, rolls
and you when you stunts and your triggers, and so
he was just one of those guys. When you were
lined up next to him, he'd give you like a
subtle hint and be like, hey, hold it in the

(34:33):
next to second here, or he'd be like, hey fix
five five five guy, five fives a guy, and he'd
kind of tell you everything you need to know, and
you'd look at and be like, how the hell does
this guy understand this? But he was. He was always
a step ahead of everybody, and I knew exactly what
the defense was doing. I swear to god. That is
the first Mark Bruner reference of the history of this show.
Round of applause for David Anderson. That is that if

(34:55):
you were to give me a list of two hundred names,
he I the list, Martin' I would have never guessed
Mark Bruner. I would I didn't. I had no idea
that you played with him. I forgot that he spent
a couple of years in Houston. I had no clue.
Of the cap to Mark Bruner. Tip of the cap
for you for pulling that on the fly. Look, it's
the middle of the night, guys. All right, this is
a middle of the night interview here on Fox Sports Radio.

(35:17):
The fact that David Anderson just pulls that from the
whole store just shows you how prepared he is for
this kind of stuff. Alright, alright, David Anderson, Uh, you
know there's a joke there that the that you the fans,
you guys listening, I have no idea about. But we'll
leave it at that. David Anderson, former NFL wide receiver,
BFF of the show. Get him on Twitter. He's always
a fun follow at David Anderson eight nine. Thanks pout.

(35:40):
We'll do it again soon. Absolutely have a good one. Uh,
Mark Brunner, Mark of all the players that get think
of Mark Bruner. That's amazing, all right, Jonas Knocks, Fox
Sports Radio. Get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox
As We come to you live here from the Get
Go Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next one of
my favorite parts of the show, Do You Care? We

(36:01):
get to the bottom of some of the nonsense you've
been fed all throughout the week. That's next here on
Fox Sports Radio. Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio, coming to
you a live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
We are gonna play Do You Care? Coming up here
momentarily on fsr UM. Also a reminder, ten minutes from
now here on Fox Sports Radio, there's somebody in the

(36:21):
NFL that is full of crap, at absolutely full of crap.
They are making the rounds and they are full of it.
We will tell you who that is, coming up ten
minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio. What does
it mean when Geico says just fifteen minutes could save
you fifteen center more on car insurance means you probably
should have gone to Geico dot com fifteen minutes ago. Also,

(36:42):
there are people sending in uh these sincerely yours truly
type tweets that I love. It's nineties early two thousand,
old school sports radio where they crack a joke and
they write signed they are sending those in. Keep them coming.
I will dedicate a full set men to those, because
some of these are outrageous and some of them will

(37:03):
get as fired, but we will dedicate a full segment
of those. So keep keep coming, keep sending those in.
I'm a big fan of all those. Uh, somebody has
has sent a couple in that have been I'm surprised
Twitter hasn't shut down your account because they are so offensive.
But if you can keep them clean enough but still
funny at the same time and a little bit edgy,

(37:24):
will read those on the air right now, though it
is time for this. There's so many stories in the
world of sports, and most of them are a complete
waste of time. DMZ 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? So we turn

(37:44):
it over to our executive producer, Ryan Dennis, who is
going to rattle off some of the top quote unquote
top storylines throughout the week, and I'll give you my
opinion on each. Ryan, that's right, So we'll start off
here in Cleveland j R. Smith. He reportedly demanded a
trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this week. Do you care,

(38:05):
I don't know. I couldn't give a crap less about
the Cleveland Cavaliers j R. Smith where he wants to
get traded. It is amazing the number of demands NBA
players make, and they still have the best deals in
the world like NFL players. NFL players get no guaranteed contracts,
and you rarely hear about an NFL player saying I

(38:28):
demand to get traded. When you do, it's a big deal.
Like a levy on Bell who doesn't show up to camp.
NBA players give him an inch, they'll take a mile.
I could not care less. It's just another one in
the batch. Next alright, Wednesday night, Timberwolves Derrick Rose, remember him?
He scored a career high fifty points. Do you care?
Jonas give unbelievable? Unbelievable How you're being force fed a

(38:53):
story like that. That is how irrelevant the NBA regular
season is. That's how much of of an automatic it
is that the Golden State were It's a formality. Golden
State's gonna win the finals. You would think so they're
turning in a Derrick Rose fifty point performance on Halloween

(39:14):
and everybody's getting emotional about it on social media. The
big story is, why the hell is this a big
story from a guy who's a former m v P like,
focus on the drop off, not the one night he
at fifty points and cried and then didn't he leave
the game on Friday because he had an ankle injury.
Stopped forcing me, feeding me these dramatic NBA stories and
nobody really cares about next alright. Reportedly, big one, big

(39:37):
market team has sworn off Manny Machado over his playoff
antics this past World Series in a postseason Do you care?
I don't give it? Yeah, I'm with you. Read who cares?
Man Manny Machado is still gonna get two hundred something
million dollars. He's still gonna get paid. So he stepped
on a guy's foot, so he may have uh intentionally

(39:58):
not hustled, so he talked about not hustling. Big deal.
He's still gonna be paid, he's still gonna be rich,
he's gonna have a phenomenal contract, and he's still a
great player. Next, alright, I have to I have to
mention this one apparently on Halloween. O J. Simpson dressed
up as a gynecologist for Halloween. Yeah, it's hold on

(40:20):
what old on a second? Why why was this the
last one? Dennis? Is that a true story? He dressed
up as a guy to collegist? Absolutely No. I I
saw a picture on TNZ and everything. Uh, a kind
ecologist and he was hanging out at one of his
favorite spots in Vegas. Unbelievable like that. This This would
be like if if Rob Gronkowski dressed his Aaron Hernandez

(40:43):
on Halloween? What do you what? What's he thinking? Like?
What the hell's he thinking? You? Imagine if Jeffrey Dahmer
was alive, uh, and he dressed up like he was Vegan, Like, like,
what I read the room? Bro, what are you doing?
So there's somebody in the NFL all that I think
is not being totally honest with you. He's not really

(41:04):
telling the truth. In fact, some of you, who might
be a little bit more aggressive than I would be,
you might even say that this gentleman was full of crap.
But we will get to the bottom of it here.
Coming up here in just a couple of moments, Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Radio. You can check out the show

Um so uh, just to to hit this real quick,

(41:47):
I opened up the show with the bombardment from Carolina
Panther fans. I had no idea what the hell was happening.
I went on my Twitter account on Thursday, minding my
own business, and how Carolina Panther fans had had found
a tweet from the Fox Sports Radio account in which

(42:08):
I broke down all the quarterbacks in the NFL I'd
rather have over Cam Newton. And because some people in
that fan base are so dumb, they didn't realize that
they were attacking me over a three month old tweet
like they had no idea. It literally had no idea
they were attacking me over a three month old tweet

(42:31):
that I had nothing to do with. I didn't write
the tweet. I didn't put together that list. I had
said those names, but I didn't put it in that order,
and I got attacked for it, and so they went
all in. I mean, I got called every name of
the book. I I got my They said I should
be fired. They said, I mean, you name it, all

(42:51):
of it. And it was the most comical thing I
had seen on social media in the last long at
least that that I've been a part of in a
long time. I Mean, there's been some people outrage over
things we've done on the show, um, because look, we're
working in the middle of the night, so maybe when
some of that stuff hits during normal business hours, maybe
it's not as suitable as some of the stuff that

(43:14):
we talked about here on weekend. Overnight. It's a little
bit more edgy crowd. People have been having a few drinks, um,
you know, and sometimes that may not land the right
way when it comes to people driving around listening to
the podcast on their way to work Monday through Friday.
But it was really entertaining. Um, they lost their minds.
They attacked before it and so I opened up the

(43:35):
show just pointing out that listen man, like this is
a perfect example of people just attack without even knowing
the facts. They didn't click on the article, they didn't
actually hear what I had to say, and they also
didn't understand that it was three months old. So because
of that, later on in the show, I will compile
a new list of every quarterback in the NFL. I
would take over Cam Newton. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.

(44:00):
You started it like I was minding my own business.
I didn't plan on doing it. So for those of
you asking, that will be coming up later on the
show here on Fox Sports Radio. But um, I do
want to get to this because I find this fascinating.
So Hugh Jackson, who was recently fired by the Cleveland
Browns as head coach. Um, he is on the h

(44:22):
The Hugh Jackson PR Tour is off and running. It
is often running. Hugh Jackson, man who good for him? Now?
He made two different appearances, or there were two different appearances.
The first one he made with Mary Kay Cabot, longtime
Brown's reporter from Cleveland dot Com formerly the UH the

(44:43):
Cleveland playe Dealer and then he also had an appearance
on first Take, and I was thinking about it, which
version do I want to go with? Alright, Like I
was thinking like what should be the better version? And
I know you'll probably think, well, you know he's gonna
go with a Mary Kay cabin it will be an
anti ESPN decision. No, I don't do that crap. I'm not.

(45:05):
I'm not petty like that. Uh, that's that's not the
way I work. If you listen to this show, you
know I don't play that game. But I will be
going with the first one he did with Mary Kay
cabot Um because it's the most honest. And when you're
the most honest, you get the best stuff. It's like
talking about somebody you don't like. It work at the

(45:27):
holiday party as opposed to in the office. You see
it the holiday party. Maybe you've had a couple of drinks,
you're a little looped up, the food is good. It
feels like a time we can all just kind of
relax and take a deep breath, and you just fire
off at the hip bang bang bang. He's an a hole,
he smells, but I mean you just fire off at

(45:49):
the hip guy takes too long in the bathroom, he's this,
he's that, Like I mean, but if you're inside the office,
you're not really gonna do that. You're inside your cubicle.
Might cost some problems. You don't need those distractions. You
don't want to deal with that. But at the holiday party,
it's okay. Hugh Jackson was at the holiday party and
he just decided, you know what, I'm gonna start firing

(46:09):
off about my former employer. So we've gone with the
sit down, the first one that he did with Mary
Kay Cabot of Cleveland dot Com and the part that
I want to focus on first because this is juicy
stuff from Hugh Jackson. Is a common theme here that
Hugh Jackson is trying to portray the offense. Yeah, the offense. Um.

(46:33):
Hugh Jackson, in starting out talking about the offense in
this interview, talked about how the problem was within the
first two years. UM. Hugh Jackson also through in this,
I was never able to actually run my offense the
first two years because we didn't have the players. Interesting. UM.

(46:55):
Hugh Jackson also went on to say, also this what
everybody saw the first two years was not a Hugh
Jackson offense. Hm hmm, that's interesting. Um. Then Hugh Jackson
also went on to say this, So with the offense
struggling and trending down, you're not just going to sit
there and let the thing continue to get worse when
you know this is what you were brought in to

(47:17):
do in the first place. Even with that, my attempts
were to help. I saw things early on in our
process that if we didn't get it fixed, it would
lead to some problems. Uh. He also went on to
talk further about the offense about how he didn't get
to do his offense the right way. He also had
this little jim I wanted to remind everybody what a
huge Hugh Jackson let offense looks like. But I felt

(47:39):
like they wanted me to focus on coaching the whole
team and let someone else call the plays. You notice
a common theme there from Hugh Jackson. Common theme offense, offense, offense,
smart play, that is a smart play by Hugh Jackson,
Get in front of it, Get in front of the

(47:59):
st or. You don't want to be the one that's
looked at as responsible for the offensive issues in an
offense driven league. You don't want that reputation. That's a
bad one to have. Smart play by Hugh Jackson. Get
in front of it and do damage control over your reputation.
Like there are certain businesses that you don't want a

(48:22):
reputation in in certain areas. If you're a dentist, you
probably don't want to have a reputation for having halitosis
or bad breath. Kind of a bad look every time
somebody goes in there for a cleaning. If you don't
have your mask on, they feel like they're getting burned
to death by one of those dragons off Game of Thrones.
It's not good. Nobody wants to be around that. It's miserable.

(48:45):
Not a good reputation to have. Um, if you're a
personal trainer, you know what you probably don't want. If
you're a personal trainer in like a hot, sweaty Jim,
you don't want b O. You definitely don't want BO.
You also don't want to have a gut because you
want to russ that the person you're taking advice from
actually takes their own advice. So those are bad. Certain

(49:07):
certain businesses you don't want to have a reputation in
a certain area. Those are just a couple Hugh Jackson
knows exactly what he's doing. This league is all about offense,
and in the league, that's all about offense. If you're
not good at coaching offense, you got no shot. It's

(49:27):
why I made the point a few weeks back when
I said Sean McVeigh has changed the game, not just
for how teams build their offenses and develop their quarterbacks,
he's changed the game when it comes to hiring because
when you see that guy take Jared Goffe and have

(49:49):
that much success after Jared Goff was unplayable at times,
look like a certified bust his first year in the league.
Now other teams are on the league, they're not thinking, hey,
you know, let's take a shot on that that young
defensive minded assistant. We really want to turn our defense around.
More teams are gonna look around and go, well, geez,

(50:11):
we got a young quarterback to or geez, maybe our
quarterbacks struggling as well too, Well, why don't we just
do what the Rams did? Yeah, let's just do what
the Rams did. You see what the Bears did in Chicago,
the Eagles did at the same time that the Rams
went out and hired Sean McVeigh, the Eagles went out
and they looked at Doug Peterson and said, yeah, that's

(50:32):
gonna be our guy. When the Indianapolis Colts are trying
to revive Andrew Lux's career, they went in two directions.
They went Josh McDaniels. He said, no, thanks. Who was
their backup? Frank Reich offensive guy. So Hugh Jackson knows

(50:52):
exactly what he's doing. He doesn't want the reputation as
a guy who can't coach offense. So if he's got
to throw the organ zation, the players that were on
that team and anybody else under the bus, he's gonna
do it. It's a smart play. I get what's happening,
But damn man, if you were this offensive guru and

(51:14):
that's your football team and you made it clear to
everybody in Hard Knocks, if you watch that episode when
Hugh Jackson made it a point to tell Todd Haley
and Greg Williams, I'm the head coach, I'm the guy.
If you had that much power and you knew so
much about offense and you wanted to remind everybody, quote
what a Hugh Jackson offense looks like, why didn't you

(51:35):
do it? The previous two years. I just don't think
he's being honest about it. I think he wants to
get ahead of the story because he wants back in
the league, and if it means he's got to throw
the organization under the bus, that's what he's gotta do.
I get the play, I understand why he's doing it.
I'm just not buying it all the way. Jonas Knocks
Fox Sports Radio eight seven seven foxes the phone number

(51:58):
eight seven seven six six three six nine. You can
also get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox as
we come to Alive from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Um So, I was talking about how one of my
favorite things in UH sports talk radio back in the
nineties and two thousand's is UM. When people used to

(52:19):
write emails or send sometimes there was a text line.
They would send something in UM that would be really sarcastic.
I'm trying to like what would be like a sarcastic UM, like,
like a sarcastic tweet about it, like if like if
a player had a substance abuse issue. UM. You know,

(52:40):
people would write stuff in like gosh, I hate it
when people go out and get too drunk in public.
Uh signed Jeff Reid former Steelers kicker, or are signed
Josh Hamilton's Like that was like some of those signs
Sincerely tweets or texts from years gone by were always

(53:00):
some of my favorite stuff because it was first. A
lot of them were offensive, but it was really really funny.
And so I've asked that the that you guys listening
would send more of those in. It's kind of a
throwback to old nineties two thousand radio and um and
so far we've gotten several in. Uh A guy rights
in and goes. We're excited for the Raiders to join

(53:21):
us in Las Vegas. Signed obesity bo and emergency car
title loans. So there's UM, there's that. There's an O. J.
Simpson one I will not read. I will not read
that one. Um another one here, Uh, leave Hugh Jackson alone.

(53:42):
He was telling the truth. Sincerely, husbands who say my
wife is my best friend. Uh So, look I am
if you guys want to keep churning those out, I
will continue to read those. I I am a fan
of Kevin Figures our national update Acre here at Fox
Sports Radio. I know you are a huge and of
that old school nineties early two thousand radio gimmicks. It's

(54:03):
one of my favorite bits of all time. I can't
get enough of them in I can't. I showed Kevin
one during the break that no doubt about it. If
we read it on the air, we'll be fired. But
it's it's gold, every single In fact, if you heard
me read it on the air, you would get fired,
even if you don't work here. Yeah. So if you
guys want to send those sincerely yours truly, all of

(54:24):
that old school gold, please please do please. I'm into
it and I will read as many that I am
allowed to read on the air. I think they're fantastic.
So all right, um again, get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knox coming up next, there is a people
are trying to sell you on a franchise and a

(54:45):
future of a franchise in the NFL, and I'm gonna
tell you why they are insane to discredit one major
advantage this football team has. Find out who we're talking
about next year on FSR. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
Oh my, um wow. All right, um, so we are

(55:13):
going to hear coming up here momentarily you're being told
something about an NFL franchise I don't believe to be true. Um.
And I think if we actually just were realistic about it,
we would understand what we're talking about. So that'll be
coming up here momentarily. I sent out the the request
that sending those sincerely signed yours truly tweets those sarcastic

(55:36):
ones and um uh yeah, we've gotten several of those
in the past few minutes and I can read none
of them on the air, absolutely none of them. You
guys are cruel, cruel people. UM. I mean there's stuff
like this. I think John Gruden is doing a great job.
Signed the Captain of the Titanic. I mean that is

(55:58):
just like, that's you know, I mean, that's just uh
you know, yeah that uh and and I can read
I can read a lot of that. Then listen, I'm
not gonna read that one. I will not read that one.
These are unbelievable. If Twitter did a scan of some
of the stuff you guys are sending in the past
dead minutes, oh boy, that's just not Um. I'll just

(56:22):
put it for for the audience out there. That is
that is wondering that people driving around that I have
no idea what I'm talking about I just think about
the worst human beings in sports, you know, ones that
have recently gotten out of prison, and um, those have
been included into some of these tweets. Yeah, and that
should help fill in the blanks. By the way, we

We will be playing Pro Wrestler or Porn Star in

If you want to be a part of Pro Wrestler
or Porn Star eight seven seven nine nine on Fox

(57:05):
is the number to call eight seven seven six six
three six nine. Pro Wrestler or Porn Star coming up
less than ten minutes from now here. On Fox Sports Radio.
We only have a thousand phone lines. If you want in,
I recommend you get in now. It's a national network
and these lines fill up quick. Operators are standing by.
So we were talking about Thursday Night Football and the

(57:28):
story had a Thursday Night Football and look, Nick Mullin's great.
By the way, wasn't there some guy named like Todd
Mullins who sang some lullaby song or rock a bye.
Was that stupid song? It was not like a lot
a lot of like the soft like soft rock stations
years ago. Song was just dreadful like lallaby or rockaby.

(57:49):
Some guy with the last name Mullins. If he's listening,
no offense man, But that song was dog bleep, just terrible,
absolutely terrible. Um. But so so Sean Mullins lights up
the Raiders. That's his name, Shan Mullins. Whatever um lights
up the Raiders, Nick Mullins, Shan Mullins, who cares? Uh,
fantastic form, he said a record. I went to Southern Miss.

(58:10):
Uh little known fact. Southern Miss the Golden Eagles, not
the Screaming Eagles. I got them confused with Southern Indiana.
So this is the go to show if you want
to know about mascots. Um. But nonetheless, Nick Mullins was fantastic.
Good for him. Great story. Um. We got a call
from Brett Farve after the game. Awesome stuff. But really
the story out of that game was what the hell
is going on with the Oakland Raiders? And my whole

(58:31):
point in Oakland when talking about the Raiders is you
can't judge this franchise right now. You can't judge Jon
Gruden right now. You can't. It's it's not really all
that fair. I know you think it's fair because he
makes a lot of money, but they're rebuild and the

(58:53):
the comparison I was making was, look, nobody throws a
housewarming party while the house is still under conser intruction.
You don't do that, Like, you're not gonna invite guests
over unless you're ready to show it off. Like the
Raiders have guests every single week, and the guests are
you the fan, and they're not ready to show their

(59:14):
team off. It's a rebuild. So to judge them and
and to criticize and hammer the Raiders the way that
most people have I just think is is a bit
over the top. I think it's a little unfair. At
least give him time to figure this out. If John
Gruden three years from now, if they're still a vomit
bomb organization and they're terrible and they're winning two games

(59:34):
a year, I get it hammer away. But damn man,
it's in the middle of a rebuild, and it's at
the start of a rebuild, so you gotta be a
little bit more patient. But John Gruden made some noise
because he did an interview with Fox. Uh this is classic.
This is classic John Gruden Gruden talking with Howie Long

(59:55):
from Fox Thursday night. I got a cell phone, just
like you and everybody, and I get a lot of
phone calls from people that are dying to come and
play here. I'm just telling you, they're dying to play
for the Raids and to have salary cap space, and
to have a chance to talk to the people that
you really want to wear the silver and black, the
guys you really want to wear the silver and black

(01:00:17):
and represent this team. That's exciting. I just love it, man,
I love it. I love it so much. I know
everybody hates him. I love him. I would play for
that guy in a heartbeat. Can I just hear the
part where he says that they're dying to come play
here and where the Raid is just the way he
said it was just like f you, I got a
ten year deal. Bleep. This oh so good. I just

(01:00:41):
want to hear just that part from John grewd because
that is my favorite part of the whole interview. And
I get a lot of phone calls from people that
are dying to come and play here. Come bye. They're
dying to play for the Raid is for the that's
the best part of the interview. John grewd and turning
into Al Davis minus the track suit. Uh is sitting

(01:01:04):
in front of Howie Long. I get a lot of
phone calls from people that are dying to come and
play here. I'm just telling you, they're dying to play
for the Raiders. It's so good man, I play for that.
I'll sit up right now for free. I'll suit up
right now. But here's a bigger point is people are
telling you when they hear Jon Gruden say that, Oh, yep,

(01:01:26):
good luck selling the players. I'm wanting to play for you. Yep,
good luck with that. Have a have a good time
with that, selling those players. Yeah, because it's gonna be
real tough selling twenty six year olds on great weather,
no state tax, and you know, Las Vegas, because nobody
wants to be in Vegas in their twenties. Come on, man,

(01:01:51):
be serious about this, be honest about what we're discussing here.
I know it's really easy to pile on right now.
Thursday night was ugly. It was a brutal look for
the organization. They look terrible. They look like they were
years and years away from competing. But let me tell
you something, when they do get to Vegas, do you

(01:02:12):
know the red carpets that are gonna be rolled out
for that franchise and those players and that team when
they do arrive. That's what all this is about. All
of this is about what's gonna happen when we get
to Vegas. David Anderson, former NFL wide receiver BFF of
the Show. He played in the league for a long time.

(01:02:32):
He played in Houston, he played in Washington, he spent
time in Denver. Dave joined us earlier and he talked
about just the buzz when the Raiders finally do arrive
to Vegas. That's the thing about like family. Like I
was in Houston and my my friends are like, I
was like, hey, you guys want to come up with
some dames. You ask him the community. It's a little

(01:02:54):
more of an exciting city now, but you don't ask
anyone to go to Vegas. Those guys are gonna get
for tickets. And the one thing I think people are
drafting kind of estimators like sponsorship and stuff like that
these big companies already go to Vegas for some bozo
convention every here, right, there's this plastics convention, and there's

(01:03:15):
the the cost convention, and there's the sales convention, and
all these big companies go out there. They're already buying boxes.
They're gonna lock up boxing. And so instead of going
to whatever sook basil Ay, you can go to the
Raiders Packers game on Sunday night football. That's way better.
So they're gonna have no problem feeling he does gonna
be a great stadium. I don't think he doesn't need
to sell, like, oh, people are banging on my door.

(01:03:36):
We hope so like, but you gotta win football games.
No one wants to play for Losers, and and he
and to his point, you don't want to play for Losers.
But if you get to a point in your career
where you're looking around the league, like, hey, where do
I want to go? You know, if I'm thinking about it,
and John Gruden calls you up and he says you
want to come play for the Raiders, and he drops
that whole Al Davis look, and he drops one of

(01:03:57):
those on you, and you and you go there and
you take a visit, and you realize that you're gonna
be treated like a king because it's Vegas. And nobody
rolls out the welcome at anywhere in the country anywhere
you go anywhere in the league like Las Vegas does.
How the hell do you don't want to play for that? Like?
How do you know where to play for that? And
that's why I say, if if in three years from now,

(01:04:20):
to Dave's point, if in three years from now they're
a disaster still and they're one in fifteen, year in
and year out, I get it. I totally get it.
But if say the Raiders are seven and nine and
they're right on the peak of maybe becoming a decent team,
and you're a free agent and you're twenty seven years old,

(01:04:42):
and you've got an opportunity to go turn around a
franchise and be a difference maker in say Buffalo or
Green Bay or Denver, or you can go to Vegas
and do it there. How do you pass that up?

(01:05:02):
How do you pass it up? I don't know anybody
that doesn't like Vegas. If you go there enough, you
get sick of it. I understand all that. If you
go there enough and you lose all your money and
you can't afford it, and it's just a grind and
you're always hungover and you're always tired. I understand it,
But I know a lot of people that live in Vegas.
They have fantastic lives, great homes, great houses. It's not

(01:05:25):
all drugs and booze and sex and everything on the strip.
That's just when I was. Sam shows up there, it's
a it's a great spot to be. Look at how
they rolled out the welcome at for for the Vegas
Golden Nights. The UFC headquarters have been there for years. Uh,
like the their whole setup is amazing. All so many
people live out there and run successful lives. When McGregor

(01:05:47):
shows up to town, he does his stay at a hotel.
He rents a house in Vegas. Have you seen some
of those documentaries on the houses in Vegas. It is
an awesome place to be. The idea that John Gruden's
not gonna be able to sell players on going to
Vegas is crazy. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. That is an important number.
And here's why every single week we play pro wrestler

(01:06:11):
or a porn star here on Fox Sports Radio. It
is a can't miss segment for the sports radio ages.

highest rated segments anywhere on sports talk radio. Pro Wrestler

Golden State outscore Minnesota thirty three to twelve in the

W Hoops. They are now nine and one on the season. Toronto,

nineteen to one, eleven Chris Paul thirty two points and

sixty six yards of total offense. They would beat Colorado

back to Jonas Knocks. Thanks Cab Company. You live here
from the Geico Fox Sports radio studios where it's easy
to say fift center more on car insurance with Geico
Good a guy, go dot com or called eight nine
seven oado. The only hard part figuring out which way
is easier. Hey, Cab, you're talking about the Colorado Buffalos.
When you think Colorado football? What the first thing you

(01:08:00):
think of? Ralphie the Buffalo? Okay, the first thing I
think of is what was his name? The coach who
ripped Katie Nida, the Gary Barnett where he said that
not only is Katie a girl, she's terrible. She couldn't
get the ball between the uprights. Could you imagine if
he said that nowadays? Oh my god, Oh my god.

(01:08:25):
At the time and people were like, man, that's a
bit harsh there, coach, that's pretty brutal. But oh my,
if he did that nowadays, he would be crucified. Man,
he wouldn't. He wouldn't last an hour in that job
if he said something like that. No shot. People were
thrown off by that back and Sam, you remember that

(01:08:46):
when when Gary Barnett said that about Katie Nida, the
female kicker. Um, I don't remember it so well, but
I just wanted to say, look at how his career
ended it Colorado didn't end so great. Yeah, he was.
That was a man I remember when he remember, Yeah,
him calling the press conference and all of that stuff happening.
If we can find that sound somewhere, uh for for

(01:09:08):
at some point during the Sugars, I don't think. I
don't know have a lot of people know that story.
But Katie Ida was a female kicker, uh and there
were some some issues there and he just ripped her,
I mean ripped her publicly with like what seemed like
ten microphones in his face and just said, yeah, not
only was she a girl, she was terrible in the

(01:09:29):
wake of the situation of what was involved. I mean
we were talking it was an alleged rape or sexual
That's like you look back at that stuff now and
you go, good god, man. It's like like watching some
of those old football films and you see the way
like Dick Buckets would tackle players and you go, oh, yeah,
he wouldn't last in this league two years. Do you
think Vontes berfect is bad Dick Buckett? Vontes perfect is

(01:09:52):
Dick Buckets? Uh? If you handed Vontes Berfa machete, that
would be Dick Buckets. By the way, prayers for Katie Night.
I saw a story earlier than sweet that she's a
falling definitely ill. Yeah, it's and I think about it,
Just think about um Gary Barnett. Like so whenever I
think Colorado football, I just look back and I go,
oh my god, how do you How could you say

(01:10:14):
that at that time? And if you just fast forward
ten years later, if you would have say that now
or fifteen years later, whenever, it was like, it's just
crazy how much things have changed. I mean he got
a little bit of heat. I remember we got a
little bit of heat back then. But today, oh yeah,
he would have been placed on leave, probably fired within
a couple of months. Who knows, just for those statements
a lot. It's it's crazy, man, how time flies? All right?

(01:10:34):
Um are Jonas knocks here Fox Sports Radio. All right,

(01:18:29):
all right? Jonas stocks here Fox Sports Radio from the
Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next here on FSR, UM,
we're going to rank the top fan bases in the country.
But it's for a category you may not like. Find
out who we're talking about. Next on Fox Sports Radio,
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, coming alive from the Geico

(01:18:51):
Fox Sports Radio Studios. UM. So we are going to, uh,
this is probably not something that that a fan base
wants to have this title, but we are going to
determine who the most sensitive fan base in all of
sports is A right, we are going to determine it
are our our panel here. UM. We are going to

(01:19:12):
uh to to figure out who the most sensitive fan
base in the world is. We will have that four
year coming up momentarily. Uh. In regards to the Cam
Newton top list, UM, I can explain that more at
the top of next hour. Less than ten minutes from now.
But at Carolina Panther fans are not happy with me
because of a list that came out in August. They

(01:19:32):
just now got ahold of it. Apparently news travel slowly
to Charlotte. I was not aware of that. I always
heard it was an awesome town, but apparently very very sensitive.
So we will get to that here, uh, top of
next hour. I do want to let you know we
are brought to you by Lows Pros and the Nose.
Start with Lows and say five percent on eligible purchases
every day made with a Lows business credit account. That's

Most sensitive fan base you can think of, most sensitive
fan base in sports. Let's go around the room. Iowa

(01:20:14):
Sam most sensitive fan base in sports. I'll say Notre Dame. Okay,
that's fair. I can see that they don't like to
be poked at because the independent thing. You know, Yeah,
it's like our schedule. I schedule, I do a show
with Brady Quinn. Joel Clapp took a shot at Notre
Dame and uh yeah, Brady's response was not not taken

(01:20:35):
kindly to um Ryan Dennis. A most sensitive fan base
you can think of from who I've met, the Denver Broncos. Yeah, yeah,
they're they're I've gotten my share of debt, and you
would think with potheads they'd be more relaxing everybody else,
Kevin figures most sensitive fan base you can think of.
It's close to home with Laker fans for sure. Oh yeah,

(01:20:56):
that's true. Yeah, for all those titles, man, they cannot
take criticism at all. For me, it's the Carolina Panthers,
and you'll find out why. Next, it is a list
for the ages. You've demanded it, you've wanted it, you've
pressed enough buttons, you've piste off enough people, and you

(01:21:16):

Geico dot com for a free rate quote. So, um,
just to reset how we got here, and I will
take you. This is a frame by frame break down

(01:22:00):
of how we got to this point. I was minding
my own business on Thursday night, watching the NBA on
t NT and watching Thursday night football, and I'm thinking about,
you know, we got a show coming up tomorrow, and
I kind of have an idea. Maybe there's a couple
of things I want to hit on. I know we're

(01:22:20):
gonna do our benchmark segments. We're gonna do um, you know,
do you care? I know we're gonna do pro Wrestler
or porn Star match game after Dark, the scraps with
Kevin Figure. I kind of know benchmark segments, what we're
gonna do. What I'm thinking about different angles and what's
gonna happen. And it's look, I mean, you plan, you
try and get a little bit of the show in

(01:22:41):
your mind, but you don't really plan all the way
because a week ago, if you remember, the World Series
went seven and a half hours and it went an
hour and a half into our show. And it was
a game that started when I got home from doing
the other show during the day, and then it was
still going on when I was coming back to do

(01:23:01):
my nighttime show into the wee hours of the morning.
So you can't plan too far in advance because a
lot of things change. And so I'm just kind of thinking,
you know, what might be an angle here, what would
be a thought here? And I'm hanging out with my mom,
my best friend in the world. We're just hanging out
my best butt in the world. Um, you know, no
booze involved. Nothing, just an adult, mature, relaxed night watching

(01:23:23):
the game, watching NBA on T n T And I
happen to go on Twitter and I see that I
got like twenty something notifications. And that's very odd because
I don't tweet all that much if I'm not working,
because to me, you guys probably don't give a crap
what I have to say. And I'm not one of
these fire off my takes on Twitter, guys. I just

(01:23:45):
I don't like myself enough to to do that. It's
just when I'm off, I'm off. And I see it
got like twenty something notifications and I go and I look,
and it's from a lot of the same person, you know,
like they've got at Panther fan two. That's interesting. Um

(01:24:10):
At moosin Mohammed, huh uh at keep pounding hashtag can
we trust? Hashtag riverboat ron. I don't thinking. God, there's
a lot of Carolina Panther fans that are hitting me

(01:24:30):
up on my mentions. I don't know why. I don't
know what I did to the Carolina Panthers. And then
I realized, Oh, the geniuses in Carolina got ahold of
a tweet that was sent out by Fox Sports Radio
in August three months ago and are just now replying
to it. And it was a tweet that we had

(01:24:50):
done and was sent out by Fox Sports Radio. I
had nothing to do with the tweet. I didn't put
together the tweet. I didn't send it out. But it
happened in August, and it was me talking about after
Kelvin Benjamin was critical of Cam Newton in the preseason.
I was talking about, how, you know, listen, some of
his criticisms of Cam Newton are warranted. I like Cam Newton.

(01:25:13):
I'm a fan of Cam Newton. I think he's great,
but there are quarterbacks in the league I would rather
have at quarterback than Cam Newton, and so I put
together a list, and for some reason, it took three
months for the news to travel all the way down
to Charlotte for them to get ahold of it. And
then maybe they sent it by by mail. Maybe it

(01:25:33):
was done by a horseback or I have no idea
what they're doing down there, but somehow it took three
months for them to see the tweet, then to come
all the way back, and I got destroyed. I mean
I was called uh. They told me I was mentally handicapped,
and not in those kind terms. They used the R word.
I was told to kill myself. I was told to

(01:25:55):
delete my account. I'm an idiot. I should be fired,
no wonder, I'm an emergency. Allen hosts all of this
and it was awesome. I couldn't get enough of it.
You had media members. These are people that work for
the media in Carolina. Media members dressed as media members.
But the reality is they're just fan boys, all right.

(01:26:17):
They got no balls. They're not going to criticize the
local team because they don't want to. Carolina Panther fan
base to be mean to them. You know, they don't
want to be out at like Buffalo wild Wings and
have somebody potentially throw a Miller light at him because
they said that they should bench Cam Newton like they
have no balls. They just fan boys, That's what it is. Like.

(01:26:38):
They're scared that that's fine that you want to be
a fanboy. Be a fanboy, go for it, but don't
come out and say I'm just an unbiased member of
the media. No, you're a fanboy. Just say it. So
you are. It's okay, just say say what you are.
And I had no idea this was going to become
a topic. I thought we had left it in the
past three months ago. I thought I was very complementary

(01:27:00):
of Cam Newton, not that it was very complimentary and
several regards when you actually listen to the audio, but
that was the whole point. They didn't listen to the audio.
They just looked at a list that I didn't put together,
and it was in no particular order, and they assumed
that it was in particular order of quarterbacks. I would
take over Cam Newton at the time, and so my

(01:27:21):
comparison to them is me and my buddies in high school,
always wanted to throw an O Duel's keg party. O
Dulls the non alcoholic beer. The reason we wanted to
do it is because we wanted to sniff out all
the people that were full of crap, all the people
that pretended to be drunk at parties. You know, like
the people that go around and collect beer bottle caps
and they put in their front pocket and you ask

(01:27:42):
them how many beers you had? Oh, I don't know,
we checked my pocket. They pull them out like you
come on like this, who's full of crap? Here? And
to me, Carolina Panther fans, that fan base, the people
that tweeted me expose themselves as people that were full
of crap. They didn't actually click on anything, They just
read the headline and they just went with it. And
it was mob mentality at its finest and it was awesome.

(01:28:05):
So because of that, and again I don't want to
do this, this is not me doing it, but because
of that, things have to be done. You got to
modify some things. And I'm not overly stubborn. I'm not
married to my list or my opinions. If information changes,

(01:28:25):
and if information comes in that I don't have previously,
I adjust, and so when I do get this new information,
because I'm not married to these topics, I can walk
away and I can adjust my list. So for the
fanboys and the fan girls out there walking around in
their Ricky Prole jerseys, uh, still still holding on to

(01:28:50):
their Steve Burline stuffed animals just in case, uh, Michael
Myers or the Boogeyman comes through the window at night
and they've their Carolina panther light bright on. I have
adjusted the list. I have seen your requests. I would
like to call a truce, and I would like to
modify my list of all the quarterbacks in the NFL

(01:29:12):
that I would take over Cam Newton. Right now, for
those of you that have not seen the previous list
that are wondering, Okay, so who could possibly be on
this list that he got so much heat for? Why
would this guy be criticized so heavily over this list?
Here are the quarterbacks I had on this list, again

(01:29:33):
in no particular order, and if we go all the
way back to August, these are the quarterbacks I had
on the list ahead of Cam Newton, Brady Breeze, Rogers,
big Ben Russell, Wilson, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz,
Andrew Luck, Matt Stafford, Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, Alex Smith,

(01:29:55):
Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, and Eli Manning. That was August right,
that was August again? Not married to it. I can
walk away from it a right there, there is no look.
I don't need a pre nup. I don't need any
of that. We don't have kids together. I can walk
away from this opinion because I'm honest, and I'm not
a fanboy like many of you. So because I'm honest,

(01:30:19):
I would like to walk away from a couple of
these names on this list, most notably Eli Manning. He's
gotta go listen, I whipped on that one. I thought
Eli Manning was gonna have a better year than he did.
He is not. He has only regressed. I assumed Pat
Shermer would turn things around there in New York. I thought,
you know, adding see Kwan Barkley, Odell Beckham, healthy all

(01:30:40):
of that. I assumed Eli Manning was going to rebound
and have a decent year. Unfortunately that has not happened.
So Eli Manning has got to go right, Eli Manning
has gotta go, so this list is gonna look a
little bit different. So there are only a couple of quarterbacks.
Upon further review and seeing all of your eats in
your feedback from all you really really intelligent people who

(01:31:05):
spotted a three month old tweet and attacked me like
you just got the news first thing in the morning.
Here is the brand new list. Only a couple of
quarterbacks ahead of Cam Newton right now, Only a couple, right,
So these are just a couple of quarterbacks who I
now have ahead of Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers,
Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers,

(01:31:28):
Carson Wentz, Andrew Luck, Matt Stafford, Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins,
Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes. Just a couple again, I
I look, there's a given a take here, all right.
You have given me grief, I have taken it, and
I have given back to you a modified list. So
just a couple of names ahead of Cam Newton. Also,
by the way, I'd like to point out there are

(01:31:49):
three quarterbacks that are on the border here that I
would almost think about putting ahead of Cam Newton moving forward,
but I did not because I just you know, I
want to be reasonable here, all right. You and I
are in this together, Panther fan base, um at at
Carolina whisker face dot net. You and I are together here.
So Deshaun Watson, many people would take Deshaun Watson over

(01:32:12):
Cam Newton. I personally I would not, but many people would.
So that's on the border. Jimmy Garoppolo and again, uh,
he got injured. You know, if you were to ask
people who's got a more who's got more of an
upside in the NFL, they would probably say Jimmy Garoppolo.
But I did not put them on that list. But
because again I want to be reasonable, and I want

(01:32:35):
to make sure that you and I are on the
same page at Riverboat Ronnie fanboy, all right, So I
want to make sure that we're all on the same
page here. And then look, Derek Carr, who knows, maybe
John Gruden gets things turned around, But those are all
on the border. So I have modified the list. So again, UM,
for Carolina Panther fans that are out there, for those
of you running the Twitter account, UM, John Casey kick

(01:32:56):
it here, but not in the Super Bowl on Twitter.
Here are the list to one more time. Uh, if
you would like to hear all the quarterbacks, just a
couple of quarterbacks that I have ahead of Cam Newton
now again, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger,
Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Andrew Luck,
Matt Stafford, Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, and Patrick
Mahome's just a couple couple of quarterbacks ahead of Cam Newton.

(01:33:19):
So for those of you um out there, I hope
we have. I hope we have, you know, solidified everything.
I hope we are good here? Are we all good?
So I just want to make sure that we're on
good terms here for the person running the Twitter account
of um at Greg Olsen's blonde hair on Twitter. Just

(01:33:43):
for the fanboys. But I'm doing it for you guys,
Like I didn't want to talk about this, but I'm
doing it for you guys. So there's the updated list.
It's the least I could do. So enjoy your old duels,
all right, enjoy it and uh and hopefully we can
become friends after this. It's the last thing I wanted
to do. Alright, do you don't a Knocks Fox Sports
Radio eight seven seven nine, Foxes the phone number eight

(01:34:04):
seven seven six three six nine. You can also get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox as we come
to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studio.
So again at the Jonas Knocks. If you have any
complaints with that list, I doubt you will, because again
I did modify just a couple of quarterbacks, I think,
like fifteen ahead of Cam Newton. Now, all right, coming
up next here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh, there is

(01:34:26):
a coach in the NFL who is trying to tell
you about quarterbacks in the draft. He's trying to tell
you about quarterbacks in the draft. Unfortunately he's not telling
you the truth. Find out who we're talking about next
year on fs are Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio, coming

(01:34:47):
to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Um So there's a quarter So a conversation about quarterbacks
in the NFL and a head coach somebody that you
know real well is not looking at it maybe the
way that he should or the way that I think
a realistic approach would be. When it comes to quarterbacks

(01:35:09):
and drafting quarterbacks in the NFL because some of what
he said just doesn't make sense. So we're gonna get
to that coming up here momentarily here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh,
somebody's teasing me on social media because what's his name,
Nick Mullins. Is that the guy's name, the forty quarterback? Um?
He he was playing so well on Thursday night that
in the middle of the game he got verified on Twitter,

(01:35:32):
and so people were busting my balls because I don't
have a verified account. I can news for you. I
don't want one. Tell Twitter, I said that I don't
want one. I don't care about a blue check mark?
Was it like? Was it a fake Rolex? I don't care.
Why Why wouldn't I just design a fake blue check
mark and put it in my picture or something. Can't

(01:35:52):
I do that? I get photoshop that in. I don't
care blue checkmark? What does that make me any less
of a per person? Probably does, but I mean, I
just I don't If they don't give me a blue
check mark, I don't want it. So somebody get ahold
of Twitter and say, uh, even though they were probably
thinking about it, and they were probably just about to

(01:36:13):
give me a blue check mark. Uh, tell him, I
don't want it anymore. It's too late. You had your chance,
you know. Don't don't reject me at the to go
to prom and then come back two hours later because
four other people turn you down and say, all right
on second time, I think I really want to go
f you not happening. I don't want the blue check mark.
But if you're gonna give it out, I mean I'll

(01:36:34):
take it. I mean I'll put it up there and
I'll support twitters for as long as I can. So
I'm just saying, if you want to give it to me,
that's fine, but if not, I don't want it anyways.

(01:36:57):
after Dark coming up less than ten minut It's from
now Here on Fox Sports Radio. Match Game after Dark,
can't miss Radio Gold Here on Fox Sports Radio. So
all right, So we were talking about Hugh Jackson. Earlier
in the show, Hugh Jackson is on the pr tour

(01:37:18):
and uh, it is brilliantly done, and Hugh Jackson is
out there to convince everybody that it wasn't him that
was the problem. It was the organization, it was everybody
else there. It was he didn't couldn't have control over
the offense, blah blah blah blah. And look, some of
that may be true, but Hugh Jackson, the body wasn't

(01:37:38):
even cold on his career in Cleveland, and Hugh Jackson
already set up two interviews, one of them with Mary
Kay Cabot of Cleveland dot Com and then he goes
on first take. And so the one that I thought
was the most revealing was the one with Mary Kay Cabot,
because I think that he had time to kind of
practice what he wanted to say before he got the

(01:37:58):
first take. Um, and you know, when he got the
first take, he got more of a polished version. So
to me, Hugh Jackson sitting with Mary Kay Cabot on
Thursday was a little more honest and I think a
little more authentic approach to how he really felt about
the organization as opposed to the one that you got
on first take. And Hugh Jackson talked about the offense,

(01:38:22):
and it was a common theme when it came to
the offense, and I didn't It wasn't a huge Jackson offense.
And I didn't get to do the offense the right way,
and my offense would have looked like this. And uh
and you know the players we had the first two years,
all of that stuff and uh, and I said, look,
it's an offense driven league. Hugh Jackson understands that. And

(01:38:43):
if you have a reputation as a guy who can't
coach offense anymore or a guy whose offense is outdated,
you're not gonna get jobs. Like the rave is. Find
me a creative play caller. Find me somebody who can
who can call plays, be creative, be different. Uh. You know,
you see it with Sean McVeigh, You see it with
Kyle Shanahan. You see it with with Matt Nagge in Chicago. Like,

(01:39:05):
find me somebody creative, a young, energetic, uh, creative play
caller so that he can develop my young quarterback. Well,
if Hugh Jackson looks like he's calling, you know, stale
offenses and he can't put together a legitimate offense. Then
that's a bad look for him. So he's gonna go
on the aggressive and he's gonna throw everybody else under
the bus except for himself. That's fine. I get the move.

(01:39:27):
I just don't necessarily buy it. Here's the other thing
that Hugh Jackson made a point of of getting across.
When sitting down with Mary Kay cabot Um. He talked
about Carson Wentz, Patrick Mahomes, and Deshaun Watson, and Hugh
Jackson said the following quote, We passed on three franchise
quarterbacks the first two years and Wentz, Watson and Mahomes.

(01:39:51):
We played with a quarterback room with zero wins in
the league. We played with street free agents and practice
squad players and wide receivers. Yet our offense was the
same or better than what we were doing this year.
There is no way that should happen. Mm hmm. I
wonder who he's throwing under the bus there. Hugh Jackson

(01:40:11):
also went on to say when he was asked about
whether or not he wanted Carson Wentz at number two
in quote, oh my gosh, yes, did I like Carson
Wentz Hell? Yes? And he talked about Carson Wentz doing
something on the white board. Then he continued with but
the plan was never to take a quarterback that year.
It was all about training back to get picks. If

(01:40:33):
you're doing that, you've got to pick the right players.
He also talked about Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. I
like Patrick and DeShawn a lot. I got to know
them both. Pat and I had a really good relationship.
I loved his skill set, I loved his ability to
throw the ball around and all of that. I built
a good rapport with him. I had them ranked very

(01:40:53):
close to each other. It's amazing. He just gets fired
and all of us sudden. He knew about what quarterback
to take and when to take him, and how great
all of these guys were gonna be, even though they
didn't take any of them. And my favorite lazy comparison
is one that Hugh Jackson is attempting to do here.

(01:41:15):
It's my favorite lazy comparison that media and fans make,
and they've been doing it for a couple of years
and it's comical, and Hugh Jackson has fallen right into
it the whole Well, if they would have taken Carson
Wentz they wouldn't be in the situation that they are. Right,

(01:41:36):
you won three games, bro, like you want three games.
So let's just say, let's say you draft Carson Wentz.
All right, Let's say Carson Wentz or Deshaun Watson. All right?
Put Carson Wentz on the Brown's roster the past couple
of years. Say you got your wish and you drafted

(01:41:57):
Carson Wentz. You won three games. How many more wins
with that roster would you have had at this point
in your career in Cleveland? I mean, if we're being generous,
what are we talking? You got what five more wins?
Six more wins? Seven more wins? I mean we're being

(01:42:18):
really really generous. Carson Wentz with that roster in Cleveland,
how many more wins you get? Well, we'll call it five.
We'll give you five more wins as a head coach. Awesome,
So that means you're eight thirty one and one instead
of three thirty six and one. Translation, you're still gonna
get fired. Like what do we like? Let's let's not

(01:42:39):
pretend like Hugh Jackson had all the answers, but his
hands were tied. You know, he couldn't he couldn't mean,
come on, like, if you know, I mean I had everything,
If I had my wish I would have had, it
wouldn't have mattered. It wouldn't have mattered. It would have
been the same result. This just happened sooner rosters everything.

(01:43:05):
If you don't have pieces around you, you don't have
a chance. For as great as everybody says Carson Wentz
is and he's awesome, man, they still want a super
Bowl without him, Like there's a there was a lot
of talent there. I mean, Carson Wentz is, the pieces

(01:43:26):
around him are just as valuable as Carson Wentz himself.
And I think he's great, and he's a franchise quarterback
and he's one of the top young talents in the league.
But let's not pretend that you put Carson Wentz on
the Cleveland Browns and all of a sudden they're an
eleven and five team fighting for home field advantage in
the a f C playoffs. Stop just stop, Like, let's

(01:43:50):
be realistic about this. I mean, if we're gonna be
also more critical of Hugh Jackson, if we're gonna call
it out like how it is, then why don't we
call it how it is? Then who's the best quarterback
on the Browns roster right now, Baker Mayfield. Then why
did Hugh Jackson start the second best quarterback on the roster?

(01:44:12):
And it wasn't until an injury and bad play that
he finally put the best one in like Mr Quarterback Whisperer,
and he started the second best quarterback on the roster.
I get what he's doing. I get it. You know,
he's trying to save face. I totally understand it. But
Jesus christ Man that you can't go back and and

(01:44:34):
start filling in the pieces and say, well I would
have done this, And I mean, if we're gonna do that,
then why don't we actually do that entire draft? You know,
if we're gonna do it, let's actually do that entire draft.
Because I got news for you. If Jalen Smith doesn't
blow out his knee in a bowl game, one of
those two teams at the top isn't trading back because

(01:44:57):
that guy would have been a top three to top
five pick in the raft, and either Tennessee or or
Or or the Cleveland Browns would have taken Jaln Smith
in that spot. Jerry Jones also wanted Carson Wentz if
he was sitting there at four. Carson Wentz is a
Dallas cowboy. Those are facts. So you can't just do

(01:45:18):
one and completely neglect all the other moves that would
have come with it. It It doesn't work that way. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio

Geico dot comer call eight seven Auto. The only hard
part figuring out which way is easier. Um. So, there
are people that are chiming in on my updated Cam
Newton ranking list in the NFL because Carolina Panther fans
are too sensitive and they got ahold of a list
that I put together in August and all the quarterbacks
that I had ahead of Cam Newton, and I modified

(01:47:28):
it all right, so now I only have like fifteen
or sixteen add of Cam Newton as opposed to oh wait,
the fifteen or sixteen I had before. But there's been
a couple of interchanging pieces there. Um. So, so people
are saying, Um, the Panther fans are gonna be really
upset with me again. Um. Tommy Lee Jones joins us
now live from a tunnel in Chicago. Tommy, UM, what

(01:47:51):
do you think my reaction is to to this tweet
that says Carolina Panther fans are going to be really
really upset with me? You are a hucents butt on
I do not care you know what I do care
about though, I care about this suggesting for your favorite
game show. Yeah, this is a fun one. This is

(01:48:21):
where we shine a spotly look. I I this is
the way I look at things. I want to make
you feel better about whatever the hell is going on.
All right, we don't really take ourselves too seriously on
the show. If you take the list that I put
together ahead of Cam Newton too seriously, then you've got
your own problems. But I am here to save the day.
I want to make everybody forget about what's going on

(01:48:41):
in their life and just focus in on the fact
that at least you're not any of these people that
we're going to discuss. This is all true stories. These
are all true stories weirdos from around the world and
just the bizarre situations they find themselves. Then we're gonna
do it in match game form. How it works is
I read a small portion of the story, but I

(01:49:03):
leave a sliver of it blank, and my guests Iowa,
Sam Ryan, Dennis Kevin figures the staff here they will
try and fill in the blanks, and then we talk
about the story and we poke fun and we bust balls.
And we play grabass and it's all fun for everybody involved.
So it is match Game after Dark here on Fox
Sports Radio. Um. It is also the debut of Ryan

(01:49:24):
Dennis in Match Game after Dark. Ryan Dennis, Uh, you
always remember your first right, Yes, yes, sir, so, so
get ready for this is gonna be a wild ride.
Mike Mayer, who was here before you, had some real
doozies in Match Game after Dark. Some of his guesses
I still don't understand how he came up with, but
but we will go und Yes. Yeah, the lighting the

(01:49:48):
match and throwing it into pool. I don't know why
anybody would do that, but that was Mike's guest one time.
And we all have fun, all right. Here we go
match Game after Dark here on Fox Sports Radio. Story
number one. Police say a baggage handler was drunk when
he blank and flew from Kansas City to Chicago. Police

(01:50:12):
say a baggage handler was drunk when he blank and
flew from Kansas City to Chicago. Iowa, Sam, go ahead
and fill in that blank. Please fell asleep in the
cargo hold. Why would anybody fall asleep in a cargo hold?

(01:50:33):
I don't know. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Why
do you speak from personal experience? I wish who all
those pets down there? Don't you die if you fly
at a cargo. Animals die all the time, well because
of stress. But that one of the worst movies of

(01:50:53):
all time. By the way, Um, Dave Chappelle's in that movie,
he gets ejected from the plane. You die if you
want in the car. Why do you know it's pressure? No,
it's pressurized. It's warmth. They put in warm air. It's pressurized.
All right, fell asleep? Okay, that's very bizarre. All right,
let's Ryan Dennis your first opportunity to take a guess here.
But by the way, you can also guess the same

(01:51:14):
thing if you believe that it's reasonable enough. I don't
know why you would guess what Sam just guessed, but
if you wanted to, you could, Ryan Dennis, go ahead
and fill in that blank. Please. I'll go a little
bit different here. He snuck onto the plane and rode
in a coach with everyone else. Okay, interesting, very very aggressive. Um.
And and definitely you know the fact that he's an
employee there. That would look very bizarre. Kevin figures, I

(01:51:37):
go ahead and fill in that blank, please, I'd just
say he blacked out. That's it. Yep, just straight up
blacked out. Is it always race with you normally? You know,
I get accused it out a lot. I don't understand.
I don't know if you can put that in the
same category as falling asleep. Yeah, I don't know. Um,
let's let's go ahead and see if anybody got the
the correct answer. Here on Match Game after Dark, police

(01:51:58):
say baggage handler was drawn when he fell asleep in
a cargo hole, then flew from Kansas Initia of Chicago.
How about Iowa Sam? Yeah, I mean I saw the story,
so that's all right. Well, at least you know you're
playing along with the game. That's always good. Unbelievable, Iowa Sam,

(01:52:19):
just a fraud here on. By the way, is anybody
ever fallen asleep at work? It's hard to do in radio.
I've never done it in radio. But have you ever
fallen asleep at work? I'm not francessa Um I was.
By the way, a lot of people poke fun at
that guy. What a career he's had? Yeah? Um? Anybody
like I remember working at Toys r US. I was

(01:52:39):
a maintenance guy and there was this like little maintenance
room and it was pretty slow one morning, and I
sat down there for a second on the box of
trash bags and woke up two and a half hours later.
I have no idea a kid could have taken a
dump in the action figure. I'll I'd have no idea
because I was passed out and I wasn't drunk. Did

(01:53:00):
you ever fall asleep when you were the giant red
at Chucky Cheese? No, it's too hot. It's just too hot,
um and you're standing. Yeah, imagine you take a seat
and the kid runs over. Chucky's not moving like Chucky
had a long night. Kid, all right. I mean if
I if I had to do it all over again,
I probably I would just go in the ball pits
and just burying myself underneath all the balls and just
trying doze off there because it was such a miserable job.

(01:53:20):
But no, I've never yeah, never is the rap. But
that has a Toys Rust maintenance guy. Sounds like a
little safe haven there, the little utility room just gonna
cat cool. You know, he's not a safe haven. The
women's restroom at Toys r US probably not. What a filthy,
filthy endeavor that is man. By the way, Jonas, after
your show ends, do you know how many times I've

(01:53:41):
dozed off, like just for a split second driving home? No,
here on the board, I'm just like trying smacking myself,
but just during your commercial though not during the actual show. Yes,
I thank you revealed too much a segment, Sam, maybe. Yeah.
The funny part is he's actually still talking as he's asleep.
That explains some of the answers, some of them. You

(01:54:01):
can sleep with my eyes open. That's alright. So we
continue a story number two here on Match Game after
Dark here on Fox Sports Radio. Story number two. A
thirty year old mother of two was wearing blank when
she robbed a Houston convenience store earlier this week. A

(01:54:22):
thirty year old mother of two was wearing blank when
she robbed a Houston convenience store earlier this week, Ryan Dennis,
go ahead and fill in that blank please. Uh. Let's see,
she was wearing one of the one of those beer
can hat deals. We should get one of those. I

(01:54:48):
want one of those. That'd be fun. Um. Yeah, Sam
has one of those you put to meth in it. Ah, Yeah,
you know that. So one of those beer hats. That's
an interesting guest like Kevin figures ahead and fill in
the blank, please nothing. She was wearing nothing at all?
Deals me, I'll be still my heart all right, Iowa, Sam,
go ahead and fill in that blank please. I'm gonna

(01:55:09):
say she was wearing a cheese cloth over her head.
What is the cheese cloth bad? You know, like you
ever see like the old school burglars would put like
the cheese cloth over their face. I know, pantios, I'm
wearing them. Well, it's pretty close to pantyhose. I don't

(01:55:31):
know who uses cheese cloth anymore. But hey, by the way,
does anybody still wear pantyhose? I don't know about that. Okay, yeah,
am I the only one is still? Am I the
only one that does that? Marilyn Manson? Yeah? Interesting, all right, Um,
it's fine that if anybody got the guests here on
match Game after Dark, we go back. A thirty year

(01:55:53):
old mother of two was wearing and overside dog's head
costume when she robbed Houston can mean in store earlier
this week. I mean, look, you know you gotta get
in and out. Um, you know, you walk into a circle,
k you want to grab a pack of smokes? Maybe
some contraceptives and a stick of gum. What better to
bring in the store than a giant dog costume? You

(01:56:18):
imagine that, like you're working behind the counter and somebody
dressed his Clifford walks in and says, give me fifty
five lotto scratchers and in a case of beer. Unbelievable.
I just give it to him. Why not? Alright? Final
story here on Match Game after Dark. Here on Fox
Sports Radio. A sixty two year old man in Indiana

(01:56:39):
called police recently after his blank was threatening to run
him out of town. A sixty two year old man
in Indiana called police recently after his blank was threatening
to run him out of town. Kevin figures, go ahead
and fill in that blank, please, Oh, just keep it
simple about his daughter. M hmm, that's not very nice.

(01:57:04):
It's probably a giant ahole who knows cope. I mean,
come on, man, you have to curse on the air.
Did that get through the ticket over the air. We're
gonna get in trouble, all right, um, Iowa, Sam, go
ahead and fill in that blank, please, I'll say. His lawyer, Oh,
that doesn't make any sense, but let's definitely not a
little Mike Mayor and you're there with that. Guess all right,

(01:57:24):
we go to a Ryan Dennis Ryan last chance for
points here on Match Game after Dark. Go ahead and
fill in that blank. Please let's go, Landlord. Oh see,
that's that's a little bit more realistic, you guys. Miss
I think Dennis has got this one. Let's see. If
he does have this one, I will open up the envelope.
Here on Fox Sports Radio, a sixty two year old
man in Indiana called police recently after his crack dealer

(01:57:47):
was threatening to run him out of town. Yeah, no
points handed out. It's too bad, NASA. Too bad, NASA
is not hiring This guy called the cops to let
him know that the guy who deals him crack was
threatening him. That's always good. It's like telling your wife, listen,
you gotta help me out, babe, what's going on? Honey?

(01:58:08):
My side piece has been all over me this week
and I don't know what to do. Can you please
see you're my best friend? Can you help me out? Seriously?
What an idiot? But nonetheless, congratulations to Iowa Sam, who
was back in the Winter Circle. He is this week's champion.
On Match Game after Dark, pays to read the news
damn straight and to kill the second. Alright, you can

(01:58:31):
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks as we
come to you Live here from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio Studios. Coming up next. Um, people are very very
very very bothered by a situation in the NFL. We
are going to get to the bottom of it because
I think it's fantastic and I'm going to be very
very nice about it. That's next year on Fox Sports Radio,

(01:58:52):
Jonas Knocks, Fox Sports Radio Company, You Live here from
the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. Uh top. The next
hour were four of the extravaganza here on Fox Sports Radio.
We will have more out of the NFL, more hot
NFL discussion here on Fox Sports Radio less than ten
minutes from now here on fs ARE. Let me just

(01:59:13):
say this, I for one, loved what Matt Patricia did
to a reporter in Detroit this week. I thought it
was absolutely fantastic. Um let's hear this was Um. Look,
I'm part of the media, but when something's funny, it's funny.
And I've always told you this. I have a strict rule.
I don't block anybody on Twitter if you insult me,
and I think it's funny. I'll probably retweet it if

(01:59:34):
it's not funny. That bothers me more than you actually
insulting me, because I don't care. It's just twitter, um.
And I think the art of ball busting has been
lost in the world. And Matt Patricia, Lions head coach,
pulled this earlier in the week. Why do you think this? Um?
Do me a favorite? Just kind of sit up and

(01:59:55):
just like you have a little respect for the process
every day, ask me questions and just kind of like
you know me this, But I mean, like just just
to be a little respectful. I'm asking just to be
a little respectful in this whole process, okay, professionally, and
I'll answer it for you. I love it. That's awesome
because the immediate reaction was, how could this guy? How
could Matt Patricia of all people tell anybody to have

(02:00:18):
the right appearance and right posture and a press conference.
He's effing with you, He's fffing with you. What coach
in the NFL has been crushed for their appearance and
their presentation this season more than any other coach. Matt
patricia first game as an NFL head coach, He's got

(02:00:43):
his hat on backwards people are asking why does he
carry a pencil under his over his ear if everything
he's got his laminated, He's been destroyed all season long.
So he tells a reporter to have the right posture
and a press conference and everybody loses it. Get a clue, man,

(02:01:04):
he knew exactly what he was doing. He knew what
he was doing. You guys have been killing me for
my posture, of my appearance, my presence, my my dress style,
everything that I've done all season long. Why don't I
turn it around on you? And it was awesome? And
that's the thing. As media members, man, we think we

(02:01:24):
can needle coaches and we can needle players and they
can't do anything back. I'm glad he did what he did.
I thought it was hilarious. Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio
more out of the NFL next year on fs are So,
We've got a couple of hot burning NFL topics that
are near and dear to our hearts here on Weekend Overnight's.

John Gruten and the Raiders have have taken a beating,
I mean a beating, And I'll be honest with you.

(02:02:30):
We so I do this like we'll make our picks
and um, it's something that we do before the season.
Everybody makes their picks, and um, so I do this
show weekend overnights and then I also do a show
on Sunday nights with Brady Quinn. And so we'll go
through and we'll make all of our picks. And so
I actually had the Raiders being a wild card team. Thank,

(02:02:54):
I mean, wow, what a with But I actually had
the Raiders being a wild card team. Um. That was
done before the Khalil Mack trade, when it became very
clear that this was a full on rebuild. And so
if there's anybody who should be surprised by what is
happening in Oakland with the Raiders. Now, again, I didn't

(02:03:15):
feel confident about that being a wild card pick, but
I was looking around the landscape of things, and I
was trying to figure out who I think is going
to be what, and you know, you're just projecting. Nobody
really knows, and um, and so I that, yeah, I
kind of went with the Raiders, and uh, you know,
maybe I bought into the John Gruten hype. But again,
it was before the Khalil Mack trade. It had the

(02:03:36):
Khalil Mack trade gone down, I would have changed my
pick clearly, because that was a big loss for that team.
But of anybody, I should be surprised at where the
Oakland Raiders are as a franchise. And man, I feel
like I'm less surprised than anybody else. Like I've just
come to the realization about what this team is sooner

(02:03:59):
than anybody else has. And that's let's saying I'm better
than anybody else. But I just think a lot of
the criticism of the Oakland Raiders is just piling on.
It's just people piling on John Gruten people that aren't
really being realistic or looking at it pragmatically about what
the situation is in Oakland. And if you actually looked
at it in a realistic fashion, I think that you

(02:04:21):
would sort of take your foot off the gas a
little bit and understand, Oh, this is a whole rebuild. Well, yeah,
of course they're gonna be bad. Yeah, it's a rebuild.
I mean we've seen this in sports with the Astros
and the seventies sixers, and I mean we've seen this
to rebuild. John Gruden didn't like what was here. Contracts

(02:04:47):
were coming up, he didn't want to pay that kind
of money for those kind of players, and so it's
a rebuild. And who's got the ten year deal and
who's got the time as far as length on the
contract to try and turn this thing around. It's John Gruden.
And so when I see people just all in and

(02:05:07):
giving the Raiders a beating after what happened on Thursday
Night Football, I just realized, Man, these are this is
just people that aren't being realistic about the situation. And
so the comparison I make, and I was making this
earlier in the show, like nobody has a housewarming party
unless you're ready to show off the house, like you're
never gonna go to a housewarming party. And and you know,

(02:05:29):
the electricians are over and they're still painting three rooms
like nobody's doing that, Like, oh, there's no furniture here,
but guys are having our housewarming party. Huh yeah, guys,
I know electricity in the house yet, but come over
five o'clock. Like it just doesn't make any sense. And
so if you if you were to think that the

(02:05:50):
Raiders season, look at it as as sixteen housewarming parties
for a house that's not built. Of course you're gonna
be critical. Of course it's not gonna look good to rebuild.
This is what rebuilds look like. They were doing a
lot of the comparisons on Thursday night. If you heard
him talking about with Troy Aikman on the call Jimmy Johnson,

(02:06:11):
and when Jimmy Johnson got to Dallas, that was a rebuild.
They were not good. They got destroyed for trading away
herschel Walker. But Jimmy Johnson said, listen, herschel Walker coming
off the best year of his career. We're not good.
So why do I mean if I can build something

(02:06:32):
and and acquire enough assets. Why not go in that direction.
What am I gonna lose? We're already losing anyways. And
so that's been John Gruden's approach, and so this one
has gotten a lot of run. Here was John Gruden
Thursday night and they sit down with Howie Long. I
got a cell phone, just like you and everybody else,
and I get a lot of phone calls from people

(02:06:52):
that are dying to come and play here. I'm just
telling you, they're dying to play for the Raids and
to have salary caps space and to have a chance
to talk to the people that you really want to
wear the silver and black, the guys, you really want
to wear the silver and black and represent this team.
That's exciting. I heard it. First of all. I can't
get enough of that. There. There at least two or

(02:07:14):
three drops I would like permanently put in on the show.
Any time we talk about people that listen to this show,
I would like to insert Jon Gruden say they're dying
to come play here. All right, That's all I want.
I just love it John Gruden, just the ego that
is so out of control. But the one and I
saw Peter King made this point and this was after

(02:07:36):
the Calomack trade, Because after the move was made, there
were a couple of ways to look at it. John
Gruden is an idiot, um the Raiders panicked, or John
Gruden knows what he wants to do, and I go

(02:07:58):
with the ladder. Most people went with the former. John
Gruten's an idiot. Peter King who has forgotten more about
the NFL that I'll ever know, and he's had a
tremendous career and he still continues MMQB dot com is awesome.
Albert Briers great, um. But Peter King said something that
I thought was so so far wrong at the time

(02:08:21):
of the trade, in which Peter King said, good luck
trying to sell Vegas on your franchise when you have
a coach who clearly doesn't want to pay his best players.
Good luck selling that to the Vegas fan base. Yeah, Pete,
because it's gonna be real tough selling Vegas on football

(02:08:42):
when they've never had it before. That's gonna be a
real tough one. And I'm seeing that pop up throughout
social media. People have discussed that, man, what kind of
team is Vegas gonna get? Um one that they've never
had before? Have you seen the Golden Knights in Vegas.

(02:09:02):
Have you seen their introductions? What that's done to the city.
It's incredible pregame introductions, absolutely incredible, the way they rallied
around that that team, and that's hockey. Like the idea
that the Raiders aren't going to be a draw in Vegas.
Think of Okay, there's a place out in California for

(02:09:24):
people that haven't been here, Burger chain called In and Out.
A lot of people love In and Out. I mean
it's good. Don't get me wrong. Um I don't really
eat fast food much, but it's good. In and Out.
It's awesome. Um. And and maybe just because I grew
up with it out here in California, I'm a little spoiled.
But there's a place out here called in and Out.

(02:09:45):
When In and Out goes to other parts of the country,
because you know, any time anybody comes to In and Out,
there's a reason there's one by the airport because when
you get off the plane, you're gonna see an in
and Out and the drive through is is winding around
the parking lot. I mean it may as we'll be
all the way back to to l A International Airport.
But when In and Out opens up in other parts

(02:10:06):
of the country, it's a big deal. I remember it
opened up in like Austin, Texas, and they were talking
about the lines and how long it took to get
into In and Out. People want nuts, couldn't get enough
of it, lines out the door, frantic, crazy about it.
A dunkin Donuts opened up out here in southern California,

(02:10:26):
about five minutes from the studio here in l a
first dunkin Donuts in the area. I went there the
first day it opened up, the launch because I love
the dunkin Donuts coffee. At the time it was thirty
minutes in line. I mean, it's there's nothing that's special

(02:10:47):
about it. I mean it's good, but there's nothing that's
special about it. But it's the idea of it. It's
never been here before. We've heard about it, so let's
go check it out. So the idea that you think
that Vegas, who's never had a football team before, they've

(02:11:11):
got one professional sports team and it's already been a
home run in the Vegas Gold Nights. The idea that
anybody could possibly think that the Raiders wouldn't be a
success in Vegas is banana land. You're crazy. It's never
been there before. Like like the Raiders could be five

(02:11:33):
and eleven. I don't give a crap, it's going to
be a success. Think about what a trip to Vegas
in the fall or the winter now turns into for
anybody has been to Vegas. What's the worst day in Vegas? Sunday?
Because generally you get out there on a Friday, you
immediately start boozing. The idea of walking around the street

(02:11:57):
with one of those souvenir cups that you can buy
it one of the casinos, even if you don't drink uh,
you know, martinis or whatever the hell they put in
their Margarita's just the idea of walking around with a
souvenir cup that's so big they give you a guitar
strap to put on your shoulder when you're walking around
with it. The idea of that and the freedom that
you get when you go to Vegas, you have no

(02:12:17):
choice but to black out your first night. You don't
have a choice in the matter. You could be as
discipline as you want. When you're sitting playing penny slots
and you hear in the background cocktails, I mean, I
got it. The chills run up and down your body
because you're thinking, what do what do I pay for this? No?

(02:12:38):
Just dropping a buck basically free a dollar for a beer.
All you gotta do is gamble. The freedom that comes
with Vegas is insane. That's awesome. On Friday. You wake
up and you feel like crap on Saturday, but don't
worry about there's a pool party. Everybody's all fired up. Man,
Just get after it, have fun on Saturday. You go
to bed on a Sunday, are early early Sunday, morning

(02:13:00):
out all night on Saturday, and then you gotta figure
out what the hell you're doing on a Sunday. And
sometimes you gotta drive all the way back home, wait
till the Raiders are in town. Hey, what do you
feel like doing? I don't know, man, I don't want
to go back to the pool. Hey, why don't we
go to an NFL game? Oh that's right, we play
a bunch of slots over this casino. Yeah, let's let's

(02:13:22):
go check it out. It's just it's a game changer,
completely changes the game. David Anderson was on former NFL
wide receiver. He talked about He's like, man, I couldn't
get people to go to my games when I was
remember the Houston Texans. Houston is a fun city, but
I couldn't get people to go to the games there
because I was like, I don't really want to go
to Vegas, or I don't want to go to Houston.

(02:13:43):
Everybody's gonna want to go to Vegas. If you're a
Raider fan, I don't know why you wouldn't want season
tickets to the Raiders in Vegas if you can afford it.
Good god, man, I would go every weekend if I
at the time, the job, the money, the life's I'd
go every single weekend. It's awesome. Like you can't. You

(02:14:04):
can't go over the top and destroy something that hasn't
been built yet. You don't walk into a housewarming party
that when the house isn't finished. Those are always finished products.
That's why they invite you. If you see somebody working
on a car in their driveway, you don't walk up

(02:14:25):
on him and go, oh my god, what a piece
of crap that is. I don't even have an engine
in it. What are you talking about? Oh my god,
you're you've got that for I haven't even finished it.
Nobody does that. You don't stop halfway through a haircut
and get up out of the chair and expect people
to give you a bunch of compliments. You look like, uh,

(02:14:46):
you know, a pineapple tried to commit suicide. Nobody does
that like it's not a finished product in Oakland. Just
give it a minute, man, let him figure this stuff out.
It's easy to pick on. I know he's an easy target,
but just hold on. Wait till you see the finished
product in Vegas under the bright lights, before everybody comes
to their decision. If at that point they still stink,

(02:15:08):
by all means, do what you gotta do. But I
think they're gonna be awesome in Vegas. I think it's
gonna be a fun time and I can't wait to
check out a game there. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio

on Twitter at the Jonas Knox has we come to

(02:15:30):
you live here from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Coming up next. Uh An NFL head coach um has
had enough. He's fed up. He got tired of the questioning,
he got annoyed with the questioning, and he responded, and
I think it was fantastic. Find out who we're talking
about next year on FSR Dying to play for the Raiders,

(02:15:52):
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio, coming to you live here
from the Getico Fox Sports Radio Studios. So we're gonna
get to uh coming up here in just a few minutes.
There was an NFL head coach who uh, his frustration
boiled over. He got annoyed, he got very bothered, very agitated.
I started out hot this season, uh and then it's

(02:16:13):
only gotten worse since then, and so he's very bothered
by some of the questioning. We will get to that
here because I actually I actually support the guy. Actually,
UM am going to defend this NFL head coach coming
up here momentarily. So we'll get to that here on
Fox Sports Radio. And we will have the scraps with
Kevin Figures coming up in less than ten minutes from
now here on fs are stories we have not had

(02:16:35):
a chance to get to. UM. Kevin Figures is a
sick and demented soul, and he comes up with some
real doozies here on Fox Sports Radio. So make sure
you stick around for that. By the way, we are
brought to you by Discover Card. We treat you like
you treat you. UM, if you missed it earlier in
the show. So I got bombarded out of nowhere by

(02:16:57):
a lot of tweets from Carolina Panther fans and UM.
I have no idea what started this. I don't know
who retweeted it, but there was Back in August, after
Kelvin Benjamin made some comments about Cam Newton, I simply
pointed out, look, I mean there's there's a lot of
quarterbacks in the NFL. I would take over Cam Newton

(02:17:20):
and I put together a list, and you know, a
couple of the quarterbacks on that list. It did not
age well. And there were a couple of factors that
played into it. One of them was, you know, Eli
Manning was on the list. I whipped on that one.
I'll be honest, I whipped on it. Eli Manning has
been awful, totally regressed. I thought he was going to

(02:17:40):
be better with with UH, with Shermer and with all
the weapons around him. He was not. Derek Carr does
not look the same, Um, Derek Carr. Uh. I mean,
you know, I'd like to give a time with John Gruden.
But we have no idea what the hell Derek Carr
is gonna gonna turn into. He looks, uh, he looks
skittish at times. There's been real warts about, you know,

(02:18:00):
players in the locker room not respecting him. So I'm
not quite sure. But you know, take away Eli Manning.
You've got to put in Patrick Mahomes, don't you, And
you have to there are some people out there that
would take Deshaun Watson over Cam Newton. Not just being honest,
Carolina Panther fans did not like it. They destroyed me.
They crushed me for it. I mean twenty four hours

(02:18:21):
of non stop from people who were too dumb to
realize they were responding on Thursday to something that was
said three months earlier, and they didn't actually even click
on it. They just looked at the list. They didn't
actually hear me say Cam Newton is a great football player.
I think he's awesome. I like Cam Newton, which I do.

(02:18:43):
I supported Cam Newton after his his behavior after the
Super Bowl. I supported him after he criticized the female
reporter and he apologized for it. I said, all right,
we can you know, everybody put away uh, their pitchforks
and put away. You know, let we don't need to
go over the top here. The guy apologize human a mistake.

(02:19:03):
Move on. I've been more than supportive of Cam Newton.
I think he's gonna be a hall of famer. I
think Cam Newton's a hall of famer. We've never seen
anything like him. And I think he's been awesome with
NORV Turner. But nobody knew what he was gonna do
with NORV Turner. He'd regressed since his Super Bowl year.
That's a fact. He had totally regressed. I mean, like

(02:19:26):
like that is. That's the truth. And so he gets
with North Turner and his his accuracy has gone up.
Carolina has been really really good, really really good at home,
and so I feel like I've been, you know, complimentary
of Cam Newton this entire time. But for some reason,
Carolina Panther fans get ahold of a three month old

(02:19:48):
post and treat it like it was breaking news. I
got news for you guys. I know you're you're all
buried uh in you know, in in Carolina, and you're
all you know, hunkered down together, and it's let's all
rally around and go arm in arm and and and
fight the masses. But look, the national narrative on Cam
Newton was not a good one in the off season.

(02:20:10):
A lot of people were you know, when Kelvin Benjamin
said what he said, there were a lot of people
that agreed with him. So it's it's just to see
the fan bases and the mob mentality on social media
is comical. I mean people telling me to kill myself.
I had a guy tell me to kill myself. Think

(02:20:30):
about that because he didn't actually click the link. He
just read the list and said kill myself. And then
a couple of tweets later he said, DM me, if
you want to talk about your list, Hold on a second.
You just told me to kill myself. Now you're telling
me to d M you. I mean, are you hitting
on me? What's happening here? So it's very very funny stuff.

(02:20:53):
So I did update the list, and um, you know,
we will have that out on social media soon, and
no doubt, Panther fans we'll get upset by that one
because they are a sensitive fan base. I had no
idea what you learned? Something new every day, all right,
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. So Adam Gaze the head
coach of the Miami Dolphins, got into it with Miami

(02:21:17):
reporter Armando Selgaro at a press conference recently, and here's
how it sounded. That happens. I mean that happened. Some
founds in the NFL, like quarterbacks get and play New England.
That's not easy. There's a reason why they win a
lot of games every year. But I'm not saying you won.
I'm saying, why wasn't he better? So what it wasn't

(02:21:41):
it better? When it wasn't there it was? I mean
the first three games we played pretty good. I mean
we had we had Yeah, I mean that that happens.
I mean that happened. Some founds in the NFL, Like
quarterbacks get and play New England. That's not easy. There's
a reason why they win a lot of games every year.
But I'm not saying that you want. I'm saying, why

(02:22:02):
wasn't he the first three games? Then what he was previously?
He wasn't anything. He was the same guy. The first
three games he played pretty good. I mean, you're you're
asking that question. You don't even know what you're talking about.
So it's hard for me to defend anything when you
don't know what you're talking about. I mean, you don't.

(02:22:23):
I watched the film. I sit there. We we evaluate
the scheme we're asking him to do, and he does
a good job on it, and I know that that's fine.
That's how you look at things. You look at everything's results.
You like, we're going through a process, because that's what
it is. That's what the season is. It's about trying
to get guys a trend upward. And we had we
were heading in the right direction. He hit his speed

(02:22:44):
bump with New Orleans, New England and then Cincinnati. He's
playing well and then we lose our left tackle and
we make two bad decisions. Here's the thing. So Armando
Sire is a good reporter, and and you know he's
he's standing his ground and he's done really good work
in Miami for a long time. Him. Adam Gates correct
here a percent correct. Tannehill was very good his first

(02:23:06):
three games. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Go
look at the numbers, go look at the games. They
were undefeated. He was really good. And then he got
hurt and they should have won that Cincinnati game. And
there was a couple of bad plays and bad breaks
and they lose that game. But Tannehill was really good.
But it goes back to my point. I talked about

(02:23:26):
it last week Doug Peterson who ripped a member of
the media in Philadelphia because he said, listen, like you're
not watching what we're watching. You don't know what you're
talking about and either a hundred percent correct, like I
know this is gonna be a shot to the ego
of a lot of media members out there and fans

(02:23:48):
out there. But just because you have more access now
doesn't mean you actually know what to do with it. Okay,
just because you can all now get the all twenty
two's doesn't mean you know what the hell you're looking at. Like, yeah,
we have a lot of access and a lot of
information and a lot of data, it doesn't mean we

(02:24:11):
actually know what the hell we're talking about. When we do,
these guys know more than us. Like the idea that
that we think we can talk football at a level
with guys that have been in the coaching business for
twenty five years have spent their entire life is asinine

(02:24:33):
to me. It would be similar to like I've done
radio for ten years now, Like if somebody you know
had just gotten out of had just retired from the
NFL or something, and they started to give me a
critique on how to do radio. And they just got
into the business. I mean, this isn't equivalent to a

(02:24:53):
well you didn't play the game, you don't know. But
it's a respect that those guys have put the time in.
Man Like, I'm never gonna bang down the door of
an e er and tell the guy who's performing surgery,
excuse me, what the hell are you doing? No, the
guy what the school for? Ye he knows what the
hell he's doing. Adam Gates has been in coaching for
years and years and years. He knows what he's doing,

(02:25:15):
he knows what he's talking about. He knows what he's
looking at. Same with Doug Peterson. Doug Peterson played in
the NFL, He's coached in the NFL. He knows situational
football offenses, schemes, he knows his players. He knows more
than us. It's okay, It's okay to acknowledge it. I mean, look,

(02:25:37):
I'm telling you I don't. I don't have an ego
with any of this stuff. I really don't. You may
be listening to this and you might know more about
your team that than I do. I don't know. I mean, look,
if you're a you know, if you're a Minnesota Wild
fan and you're listening to this and you're listening on
kay Fan, I can assure you you know more about
the Minnesota Wild than I do. I I that I

(02:26:00):
don't know what to tell you like you do. But
it's like we we feel like we've got to get
in this in this blank measuring contest with these experts
who actually know what they're talking about. When it's okay
to acknowledge, we don't ask questions, I mean learn, But
why do we try and sit there and and battle
with coaches who know more than us, who have put

(02:26:23):
in more time than us, who are experts in the
field and experts at their craft. Like you would never
walk up to your mechanic in the middle of installing
your engine and say, man, what kind of technique is
at He turned around and go f off, you want
to get to work in the morning, or no, what

(02:26:45):
are you doing? Like nobody does that. But for some reason,
we think we can call out coaches when it comes
to scheming, game plans, decision quarterback plate just because we
have the access doesn't mean we know at all what
we're talking about. Respect What the hell these guys do.
They're better than us in it, they know more than us.
It's okay to acknowledge. Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. UM,

(02:27:05):
I want to let you know we do have great news.
There's a quick way. You could say, money switched to Geico,
go to do comm in fifteen minutes. You could say
fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Coming up next,
there are stories around the world of sports we have
not had a chance to get to. We will next.
A couple of these might even get aspired. I'll be
honest with you. So that is next Here on fs
are for all the latest, though it's Captain figures all right,

(02:27:25):
Johns will keep the football theme going. We'll go to
the college ranks from Friday night. The only ranked team
that was in action was twenty fifth ranked Virginia and
they went down to Pittsburgh to thirteen pit running back
Darrenhall rushing for two hundred and twenty nine yards and
three touchdowns, and the Panthers now take over first place
in the A C C Coastal Division. Another football game

(02:27:46):
of note in the Pack twelve on Friday, Arizona notching
a forty two to thirty four victory over Colorado. Arizona
quarterback Khalil Tate didn't do much with his legs, but
showed off his arm as he taught us five touchdown
passes and through for over three hundred and fifty yards
in the win for the Wildcats. Allline. Car shopping can
be confusing, not anymore. With True Price from True Car.
Now you can know the exact price you will pay

(02:28:06):
for your next car. So is a true Car to
enjoy a more confident Carbine experience. Friday night in the NBA,
the Warriors won their seventh in a row. They beat
Minnesota one sixteen ninety nine, Kevin Durant scoring thirty three
points to lead all scores. Raptors improved to eight and one.
They beat the Sons in Phoenix, Nix with a career
high twenty three points from Alonzo tree Or in a
win over Dallas Clippers and Pacers, each with victories. Chris

(02:28:28):
Paul scoring thirty two points, dished out eleven dimes for
the Rockets as they snapped a four game losing streak
and the victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Jonas Thanks keV.
Coming to you alive here from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio studios where it's easy to say fifteen center more
on car insurance with Geico go to Guy Go dot
Comical eight nine seven Auto. The only hard part figuring
out which way is easier. Right now, it is time

(02:28:52):
for something we do on the show called this Jonas,
how could you not get to the store? Are the scraps?
And to find out what the hell we've missed so
far on the show. It is the great, it is
the powerful, it is the wise. Kevin figures two of
those three things may be true. We'll have to let

(02:29:13):
you wonder what those are. Powerful and wise. I'm gonna go,
I appreciate that what it works for me. How about this? So,
something that's been circuling around Major League Baseball the last
year really has been the status of Clayton Kersha all
the Dodgers Ace picture and whether or not he was
going to remain with the team, as he had the
option to opt out of his contract with the two
years and sixty five million dollars remaining were earlier on

(02:29:34):
Friday afternoon, he did agree to a basically add a
one year extension to that deal. With the ninety three
million dollars is now the total worth of the contract
with the four million dollars in incentives added to it.
So as opposed to him opting out and testing the market,
he decides to stay with the Dodgers and add a
year to his current deal. Do we like the move, Jonas?

(02:29:55):
I mean, I like to move for him because I
don't think anybody else would have given him that kind
of money. Well, I say that, but then again, I
think the Angels gave Albert Poole's like a twenty eight
year contract. You know, these baseball teams throwing out these
big contracts for past performance. It only takes one. I
don't know. I just it feels like a lot of

(02:30:16):
money for a guy who's who looks like he's on
the decline if you if you watch like the velocity,
I mean, he's still a good picture. But I think
there was a reason that he wasn't the starter Game
one of the postseason this year for the first time
in a long time. It feels like, I mean, ego wise,
if he can handle it, um, that's fine, But it

(02:30:36):
just feels like a guy a lot of money for
a guy who seems to be on the decline. You
you working at AM five seventy, the home of the
l A Dodgers cab. How's this landing with the with
Dodger fans there and people that work at the network,
fans love it. I know a lot of people, if
they're to be objective, acknowledge the fact that his r
A is, you know, two times higher in the postseason

(02:30:57):
than it is in the regular season. And yeah, his
velocity is DiPT Now. This past season he had two
point seven three r A, which most pictures would still
kill for. That was the worst of his career. So
while he's not the dominant Kershaw he once was, he's
still an effective major league picture. Um, you can say
the conversation is a little bit high, consider he's gonna
be making over thirty million dollars the next couple of seasons.

(02:31:18):
But I think that from a sentimental standpoint, he meant
so much of this organization, and I think it means
a lot to him and especially for Dodger fans, that
he finished his career in a Dodger uniform. And I
think that's what they're both sides are aiming towards. And
Kershaw did say by the way. Uh, that he's kind
of taking it as a person on the front. He
believes he's doing them a favor by taking this deal.

(02:31:39):
His quote was, there's been a lot of people saying
I'm in the decline or I'm not as good as
I once was. I'm looking forward to providing a lot
of people improving them wrong. So he thinks he probably
could have gotten more on the open market, but he's like,
I'm gonna take this deal improve everybody that I'm still
effective right now. Look, maybe he could have man. Baseball
free agency is a weird thing. Uh. The guy I
would worry about is Kenley Jansen. That guy's had a

(02:32:00):
lot of high stress innings, a lot of um. You know,
he's already had the heart ailment and he had those
issues this this season. He got into the postseason and
he got drilled a couple of times. Again, it was
sort of an up and down year form in the
regular season. And what did they give him, like eight
five million dollar contract five years eighty million. I believe
it was a couple of years ago. So so they're

(02:32:22):
on the hook there for for a lot of money.
In that regard. I just want to look when you
get that many chances in a row to try and
win win it all, and you come up short twice
in a row. Remember when the Rangers did that a
few years back, Like, they've never been the same since.
I just wonder if maybe the Dodgers window is starting
to shut a little bit. It's very possible and we'll
see what happens. Uh some basketball now, someone who doesn't

(02:32:44):
have a whole lot of experience in the postseason, at
least deep runs in the playoffs, as Carmlo Anthony, and
he says he believes the reason why he didn't get
a lot of traction in the off season when he
was weighed by the thunder and became a free agent
had nothing to do with him and the way that
he played, but it was all due to the perception
of the New York Knicks franchise. He believes that the
fact that the Knicks have had a lot of turnover

(02:33:05):
in the front office and that James Dolan doesn't have
the greatest reputation as an owner of that team and
a lot of controversy constantly surrounds it. He believes that
actually hurt him personally and his free agent pursuits. This
all season before he ended up signing with the Houston Rockets. Yeah, um, look,
I really want to defend Carmelo Anthony here because I

(02:33:25):
feel like swimming upstream when everybody else is going in
the opposite direction. Let me see if I can get up.
I'm like the a whole little kid who runs the
wrong way up the escalator just because it starts banging
in everybody's knees and purses and all that, just just
to be an a hole. But I would love to
do that. What the hell is he talking about? Man? Like, honestly,
what is he talking about? Like he's The way he

(02:33:46):
got to New York is what's set up his legacy
for the remainder of his career. The way he demanded
he get to New York and they give up all
those pieces and they became a worst basketball team when
he got there. That's what sort of started to define
his career as what a lot of people perceived as
a selfish player. He was a major reason. Donnie Walsh,
remember was a president at the time, and that Nick

(02:34:08):
team was excellent. They had some good young talent, They were,
you know, a competitive team. He forced his way and
James Dolan went over the head of his president, which
is why Donnie Walsh left and they forced him to
make that trade, and they hadn't been the same and
they have been terrible ever since. Yeah, I just man,
look like I said, I want to defend him. It's
like Cutler. I always, I always defend Cutler because I
think he gets sort of unfair treatment. I think people

(02:34:29):
are a little over the top when it comes to Carmelo, Anthony,
John Gruden starting to venture into my top three as
well too, and my unfairly treated athletes and coaches. But
this one just doesn't make any sense. I mean, he's
delusional if he thinks that this is all just about
New York and not about his own reputation, no doubt.
And who then, who doesn't love some minor league baseball?
Now you spent some time out in South Carolina. I'm

(02:34:50):
pretty sure that's a minor league baseball action out there, right,
Jonas Charleston river Dogs, Baby, I think Bill Murray is
