Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. What a title? Are

of Darkness is in the house. I'm the man up
in this piece, Jonas Knocks. I don't choosing the way
well be guy, Jonas Knocks is coming through your speakers

(00:21):
like the right cross from a boxer that you've never

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 lay.
Grandma on the Bingo game is running the roll. So

(00:56):
there is somebody in the NFL that is currently why
watching a developing situation, and the person may surprise you.
I'll tell you who that is coming up here in
just a couple of moments. Jonas Knocks here Fox Sports Radio.

(01:40):
have a developing situation in the NFL, and that situation
involves Levy On Bell, you know, one of the best
players in the league. And uh reports came out on
Saturday that Laby On Bell is either not showing up
or the team doesn't expect him to show up by

(02:02):
the Tuesday deadline, thus making him ineligible for the season. Now,
those are are conflicting, um Like, like one insider is
saying this, the other. I mean, we're we're splitting hairs.
It's not a good situation. Um It's something that I
don't think anybody anticipated playing out this way. But nonetheless,
it appears that Levy On Bell is not showing up

(02:24):
and he's not gonna play it all this season. And
you can have your opinions on Levy on Bell, and
you can say that, well, he's not handling this ride
and he's not doing this the right way, and he's
not doing that the right way, and that's all fine,
But there's somebody who should keep an eye on the
handling of this, somebody who should keep a closer eye
on this situation than anybody else involved, You, me, any

(02:49):
other radio show host, executives around the league. One person
in particular who should really be keeping an eye on
this James Conner. Now he's the talk of the NFL.
Everybody loves James Conner now because he it's seemingly is
James Conner, who is showing you Levy on Bells quote

(03:10):
real worth to a team as he puts up good numbers,
and he's doing it for for a slim part of
the cost that it would have taken to keep Levi
Bell down. So he's doing it at a minimum price.
You're saving money, You're getting production, and the Steelers will
look like they're hitting a role and the Steelers look
like they're going to be one of the top teams

(03:31):
in the a f C trying to contend for a
Super Bowl. And so you look at that and James
Conner is the talk of the town. But if I'm
James Conner, I am keeping in close eye on all
of this. You want to know whether you're dating the
right person. You've got questions find out how their other
relationships ended. Do some investigating see how today. Was it

(03:55):
just a simple parting of the ways. Was it just, uh,
you moved here long distance, wasn't gonna work out? Or
was there something that led to the breakup that you
need to be aware of. If somebody cheats on their
better half with you, be careful about committing with that person.
It's great that you were the beneficiary of the cheating,

(04:18):
but just understand that they have shown you that they
are capable of cheating. So you gotta be careful about
who you go into business with, so to speak, when
they've shown you how they handle their other business dealings.
James Conner is sitting back and he's watching his organization,

(04:41):
and he's watching his teammates part ways with the guy
who plays his position, and it's as ugly and as
poorly handled as any hold out in a long time
in the NFL. You don't think James Conner and his
representatives aren't paying attention. You don't think they're keeping an
eye on this. If I'm James Conner, I'm taking all

(05:04):
of this in. Part of me is grateful for the opportunity.
Part of me looks at this as my chance to
be a star in the NFL, and the other part
of me goes, so, is this what it's gonna look
like when I come up for a contract? You know,
because we play the same position, and you're kind of
telling me that you're not really into paying running backs.
So is this what it's gonna look like when it

(05:28):
comes my turn for an extension or a deal? How
do I know I'm not gonna get treated the same way?
How do I know? I mean, how do I know
if I'm James Conner, I'm not going to have teammates
throw me under the bus, multiple teammates because I'm trying
to make more money for myself or my family. Now

(05:48):
we don't know all the inside details as to what happened.
I actually wasn't that bothered by his teammates calling out
Levyan Bell. I didn't have that much of an issue
with it. I think there was a communication break down.
I think Levan Bell communicated to certain teammates that he
was going to be there, and then when he didn't
show up, they got piste. But nonetheless, part of small

(06:11):
part of James Conner has got to be thinking to himself, Man,
when when it comes my turn, and I and say
it comes to me holding out, Are they going to
throw me under the bus? Are they gonna rip me
if I decide that I want to do something better
for my future? I mean, you have to go into
this with your eyes wide open. You have to take

(06:31):
in as much information, get as much intel as you
can so that when it comes your turn, you know
what you're potentially walking into. Like, how does James Conner
not think to himself? All right, well, the organization is
kind of telling me that the guy previous to me,
who's one of the best players in the league, who
plays my position, that they're not interested in paying that

(06:55):
guy the type of money he was asking for. So
what do I do? Do I adjust my asking prices?
Do I do I low ball my own figure just
because I don't want to get treated that way? Or
do I go into this with hesitation, thinking, all right,
this could be contentious. I've already got a blueprint here
on how it's been handled before. I've already got this information,

(07:18):
and at least let me keep an eye out on it,
like and and the thing I keep hearing from people
as well. You know, he's not like Levy on Bell.
He's not like him. Man. Business is business, Okay, business,
that's business. This isn't about a personality thing. You know
how many how many Steelers issues there's been in that
locker room in the past several years. Antonio Brown threw

(07:42):
furniture out of a hotel balcony and almost hit people.
Did he get suspended? I don't recall. Antonio Brown also
drove like four hundred miles an hour on a highway
the morning of Thursday night's game. Guess who I saw
out on the field the entire night, Antonio Brown, Like,
this isn't about a character thing. You can't turn this

(08:04):
into Well, James Conner is a better teammate and he's
at stop stop. You've embraced that culture in Pittsburgh. Your
own quarterback, your franchise quarterback, has ripped the organization and
has ripped his own head coach and his offensive coordinator
pre in previous years, several times before. It's the same

(08:27):
organization whose assistant coach Joey Porter was involved in an
altercation in a downtown Pittsburgh bar in which he tried
to man handle a bouncer hours after they won a game.
It's the same organization where on New Year's Eve of
last year, Todd Haley, your offensive coordinator, was involved in

(08:47):
a skirmish at a place called the Tequila Cowboy. So
let's not pretend that it's all about We've got to
have the right guys in Pittsburgh. Give me a break man,
So you can't do this whole well, you know, he's
he's different than Levy on Bell. He's he's not as
toxic as Levy on Bell is. Stop. This is about business, period.
This has nothing to do with character. It's about business.

(09:11):
If they're not willing to pay their running back, a
great running back, anywhere close to what he wants, it's
fine you make those decisions. Maybe he is asking for
too much, But don't tell me James Conner is not
keeping track of all this stuff. I would, I'd want to.
I'd be watching all of this just so I know
when it comes time, this is a potential like this

(09:33):
could potentially happen. That's why I was saying on the
show yesterday, and I got a bunch of heat for it,
and I said, yes, look, Levy on Bell is gonna
be fine. The idea that this damaged his reputation, you're crazy.
You know what teams care about are you gonna produce,
are you gonna help us win games? And are you healthy? Check?

(09:54):
Check check. He's gonna be the freshest running back in
the NFL, and he's already one of the best. He
didn't play the entire year. So the idea that Levy
On Bell is doing damage to his reputation, I don't
buy it at all. I think ultimately this is gonna
work out for both parties. I think the Steelers are

(10:15):
gonna be fine without Levan Bell, and I think he's
gonna do fine without the Steelers. He's gonna get his money,
he's gonna be healthy. Everything's gonna work out fine. I
just think if I'm James Conner, I remember this situation.
When it comes time to talk about an extension on
your end, that's it, because if you want to know
who you're with, just take a look at how it

(10:36):
ended with the person who was previous to you. That'll
tell you a lot about what you're getting into. Jonas

(10:56):
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios, where fifteen minutes

there is a team, one of the best teams in football,
who actually could end up getting screwed. Find out who

(11:16):
I'm talking about next year on fs are jonahs knocks
Fox Sports Radio comany you live here from the Geico
Fox Sports Radio studios. So there's a team, one of
the better teams in football that I think could end
up getting screwed. I thought it was a crazy idea.
I thought it was a crazy scenario, but I actually
think there's a potential of it. I initially was upset,

(11:39):
and the more I think about it, the more I
hope it happens. All right, So I will explain who
that is coming up here in just a couple of minutes.
Many of you are responding in, Uh, nobody's on team
levey On Bell. I'm looking for one person who wants
to be on Team levey On while everybody else is
on Team James Conner. Hey, come on, man, I the
only one on an island alone who doesn't mind how

(12:01):
Levy on bells playing this. I mean, I think he's
making it up as he goes along, but sometimes you
gotta add lib. That's why it happens. Everything's gonna be fine.
Levian is gonna get his money. The Steelers are fine
without him. You just move on. That's it, not a
big deal, alright. I do want to welcome in the
crew that's gonna be here writing Shotgun with me until
six am Eastern time here on Fox Sports Radio. Ladies

(12:23):
and gentlemen. Uh. He is an ecstatic individual. He is
pumped up, jacked to the max. His name is Iowa Sam,
and he has fired up about Iowa State Cyclones and
eight point win over the Baylor Bears. That's my team.

(12:46):
There is Iowa State Cyclones. Alright, little behind this curtains here.
Iowa Sam is a die hard Iowa Hawkeye fan. And
sometimes you'll meet people like you never I was in this,
Like you kind of get lost because if you're covering
sports nationally, there's certain fan bases who know their team

(13:06):
and the history of their team, and they're always going
to know what better than you do. And that's just
the way it is. Like like we like we Atlanta
is always considered a bad sports town. Atlanta is a
bad sports town. And then you see the Georgia Bulldogs
give up the national title a year ago, and then
you remember what happened with the Atlanta Falcons in a
Super Bowl, and then you remember all the Braves teams

(13:28):
that couldn't get it done, and then you start thinking
about it and you talk to an Atlanta sports fan
and they say, oh, yeah, we've got no luck at all.
We just get screwed. That's that's just that's how it
is here. I mean, we're just Atlanta. I had no
idea that the Iowa Hawkeyes were such a snake bit
program until I started working with Iowa Sam. Have they

(13:49):
ever won a close game? Well, it depends like this
year there. Yeah, they hit the skids for sure, but
that's like in their their charmed years, they win a
lot of close games. But yeah, I I didn't actually
even watch any of the game today, and I knew
that this was No, I didn't you're that disenchanted with it. Well,
I'm actually going to Spain tomorrow, so I'm leaving the country. Yeah,

(14:12):
I'm going to go on a little vacation. When were
you going to drop that on us? I think I
told you absolutely well, I'm telling you right now. You
went camping for your birthday or something. Yeah, it was
kind of my birthday thing. But you're going to Spain
if you're snout telling us, well, I told my boss,
so that that's all that matters. Yeah, but I mean,
Jesus christ Man this together. Yeah, going to Spain tomorrow

(14:34):
for how long like nine days? So what a jay off?
What we're on this day? You're going to Europe and
you just now springing on us. This is not a
pre planned stunt. By the way, he legitimately didn't tell
anybody that he's going to Spain. I Ryan Dennis here
knew about it, So maybe I only told no. I
think I just maybe I don't know. You slipped through

(14:56):
the cracks, but I didn't. I wanted to sleep. I
was extremely tired. I had other stuff to do, so
I didn't watch the game. And thank the maker. Because
another another crap show. Unbelievable. Our our National Update anchor
Kevin figures he is the voice of l A Sports radio. Kevin,
did you know Sam was going to Spain? Knew nothing
about it? The hell Sam? Some people about if they

(15:18):
gotta want Spain staffed them my passport. That would be
like me coming in next week going. Oh, by the way, guys,
fifteen minutes after this show, I'm getting a sex change.
You know, you don't have to update me on your
life choices and changes like you're going to Spain. Man, listen,
like nobody here embraces the Latin culture like I do.
And the fact that you would leave me out of
this like it would be like me going to Iowa

(15:39):
and not telling you, like like I'm in seedar Rapids
and I just slip my mind. I was gonna tell Sam. Yeah,
I thought I told a lot of people. I guess
it just sort of know. You told one Ryan Dennis.
That's the only person I told. I told Gavin Kinsel,
my roommate and also a Fox Sports radio producer here.
Who to bleep is that guy? Uh yeah, I don't know. Sorry,

(16:01):
sorry about that. So that is astonishing. What so I
haven't been out I've been on the country in fourteen years.
But that's not the point. The point is, yeah, okay,
but you didn't tell me, all right? Well sorry, we
could have could have done a celebration. Oh yeah, no,
I know some top us and some some uh I

(16:22):
would have dialed. Especially I took Sam to his first cantina,
first cantina. I remember we went there and you had
like nine tequila tasters in about fifteen minutes for no reason,
for no reason. The reason, and the funny thing is
Sam thought he was in Spain that night. He didn't
know any different. Crazy, I mean, but yeah, and he
would have told me that either it's unbelievable. Uh, and
we do have. But this is now, this show is

(16:43):
developed into a little bit of a depressing show. Sam's
leaving to Spain. And then Ryan Dennis, who's been our
executive producer here for about an hour and a half,
he is now this is his final show here at
Fox Sports Radio. He's gone. I didn't know this either, Really,
you really didn't know that. I swear I didn't know.

(17:04):
Ryan has been producing the show for two weeks and
he's leaving already. That's true. Yeah, it's fair fair to
say this show is the slut of Fox Sports Radio.
We just get around, man. People come and go here.
There is no there is no no loyalty on this show. Wow.
Uh yeah, Dennis is gone. Iowa, Sam's off to space.

(17:28):
I will come back and I have been on the
show for two and a half years, so I don't
say there's no loyal can you okay, can you call
into the show from Spain? Uh? Next week? That might
be like or ninety cents of half minute? Who cares
you company and pay for it. Don't worry about it.
Come on, let's make it happen seriously from a pay phone. Yeah,
let's make it happen and just put put a random

(17:48):
stranger on the phone. I want to see how good
my Spanish is. Well, they have different verb conjugations over there,
so I'm well aware. So again that that is. So
that's the latest here from a weekend overnight to Fox
Sports Radio. Uh. Yeah, I didn't know a lot of
that stuff's happening. That's a very very strange. Uh A coach, Um,
who do you think is leaving the show next week?

(18:09):
Coach Belichick? I don't know. Okay, me neither. Alright, Jonas
knocks Fox Sports Radio. It's amazing. It is amazing what
you discover on this show. Speaking of Discover, we are
brought to you by Discover Card. We treat you like you,
treat you crazy. All right, If you know anything about
me or you listen to the show at all. You know,

(18:31):
I'm all about chaos and sports. I just think it
makes for a better product, makes it more interesting, makes
it more fun, more enjoyable. Uh if sports or food,
I like mine spicy, okay, loaded up, spicy, spicy. You
know I go to Buffalo wild wings. I don't want
plain wings. I want mango habanero. Okay, I want spicy

(18:52):
on my food. I want things to be spicy. But
college football went as planned on Saturday, Okay, Alabama dominated.
Now to have suffered a little bit of a of
a of a leg injury. Um, but I don't think
it's anything to where you've got to be concerned. And oh,
by the way, their backup quarterbacks only lost two games

(19:13):
in his career. He's a national champions. No, you know,
it's not that you need to freak out about. But
Alabama dominated Clemson one again. Notre Dame crush Florida State
as Florida State continues to have a disappointing season. Michigan
rolled Rutgers, not a surprise to anybody. Georgia took care

(19:33):
of Auburn, and and they should have Auburn even though
they're ranked clearly a step below what George is, especially
at this point in the season. Um, and you know,
Bedlam was fun. Bedlam, you know, is always a good time,
but Bedlam was really really fun. Oklahoma survives Oklahoma State.
But it's the Big twelve, It's it's wild seven. That's

(19:56):
just how that league is. That's why you're watching the NFL.
And the NFL looks like a different, uh and extended
version of the Big twelve times so, but there were
no real surprises. It just was sort of as planned.
Everything went as planned, chalk if you will on Saturday
in college football, no real surprises at all. And then
I heard Gary Danielson talk about the college Football playoff

(20:19):
during the Alabama game, and look, I'm actually considering making
the SEC on CBS theme music, uh a part of
my wedding song. I'm not kidding. There's something about the
SEC on CBS music that just revs my engine. It
lets me know that it's time, it lets me know
that kickoffs coming up at about twelve thirty Pacific time,

(20:42):
um out here on the West Coast. Like, something about
the SEC and the SEC on CBS music just gets
me going. And I love Fox, you know, I'm I'm
going back and forth. Uh, my radio wife Rady quinns
on at the same time. I'm going back and forth.
But I couldn't ignore something that Gary Danielson said during
the game, and I kind of dimissed, dismissed his comments

(21:04):
initially because he was talking about the college football playoff
and he had a scenario to where he thought it
could be Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Georgia instead of Michigan.
And I thought, hold on a second, Georgia, george has

(21:25):
got a loss. What has no get out of here
Georgia like that. No way Georgia jumps Michigan. There's no
possible way Georgia jumps to Michigan if Michigan wins out.
It's just not possible. I don't, I can't. I can't
imagine that would ever be possible. And it sounded like
an SEC on CBS broadcaster trying to do whatever he

(21:45):
could to get too SEC teams in. And he sounded
like he was a homer. It sounded like Gary Danielson
was a homer. And then I started thinking about it,
and I thought, okay, let me just at least consider
the idea. What would cause the most outrage in the
college football playoff this season? Like, what would what would
cause the most outrage? What would make the food spicier

(22:08):
this season? For college football? When it comes to the playoff, Okay,
and it's the same thing as always. Two SEC teams
get in, it always gets the most outrage. It always
pisses the most people off. So I thought, if that
would piss the most people off, and I like it
when people are piste off, and if that's going to

(22:30):
cause the most chaos and I like it when things
are chaotic, how could we get to that point? And
is it crazy? So let me just paint the scenario
for you. What if Alabama and Georgia meeting the SEC
title game, but Georgia beats Alabama, George has got to
be in the college football Playoff, right, I mean, let's

(22:53):
let's just consider Michigan wins out, Notre Dame wins out,
Clemson wins out, and so does Alabama. If George also
wins out, but Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC title
game and let's say it's a close game, George has
gotta be in. So who do you move out of
the top four that are there right now? Who gets

(23:13):
moved out, not Clemson. Clemson's rolling. Clems is gonna get in.
They'll win out, they'll win their conference. They're good. So
it comes down to who you moving out, Notre Dame
or Michigan. Who won the head to head battle Week one,
Notre Dame. Like when I thought about it, I said, Man,
Gary Danielson's crazy. There's no way if everybody wins out. Um,

(23:35):
there's no possible way if those these other teams went
out teams three and four, that Georgia would get into
the College Football Playoff. And then I started thinking, if
Georgia wins, I don't see the committee bumping Alabama all
the way out of the top four. I don't see
it happening. So I think, as crazy as it sounded

(23:56):
when I first thought about it, as and it's a
long shot again, total long shot. I don't think that's
how it's gonna play it. I wouldn't bet my money
on it. But it's not the craziest thing in the
world to think that Michigan, for as well as they've played,
even if they win in Columbus in a couple of weeks,
even if they go and win the Big Ten title game,
if Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC title game. I

(24:19):
could see Michigan stuck at five and Alabama sitting at
three or four. I really could. It's not the craziest
thing in the world. And look, I love Harbaugh. I
defended Jim Harbor on this show multiple times. But it's
not insane to think that two SEC teams could end
up getting in if Georgia beats Alabama. And if you've

(24:39):
got to move somebody out, who's getting moved out, Notre
Dame or Michigan. It's gotta be Michigan because Notre Dame
won the head to head battle. Jonas Knox Fox Sports

part figuring out which way is easier Coming up in
about twelve minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.
One of the craziest sports moments I've ever seen in
my life, not exaggerating it's bizarre. Did I still am shocked.

(26:48):
I don't know what happened, but we'll talk about it
here Coming up at twelve minutes from now here on
Fox Sports Radio. Also uh shock waves sent throughout the
show here as UH. We found out on the air
that Iowa Sam is leaving tomorrow to go to Spain.
Um and he told nobody on the show that he

(27:08):
was leaving. Just is gone, Cia, Bye bye, I'm out
of here. Just in f you from Sam to the
rest of us. Do I have to report every little
move in my life? No, But you know that we

theme music. I mean, you know, I'll get all get

(27:28):
up for that. Seriously, I mean, I'll disrobe, I'll salsa
dance by myself in the studio. I'm not kidding, man, Like,
we could have really done something. Just the idea that
you're leaving to go to Madrid and you're like, you're
gonna go running with the bulls, and your thought wouldn't
be Hey, man, we could do something about that on
the show. I've just been so busy and so drained.
I mean, it's like, I wish I could have done that,

(27:50):
but unfortunately, you know, we got football going on. We
spend minimum seven hours together on air every single weekend overnight,
and we talk about the dumbest things like Steve Austin's
broken skull. I p A. And you don't think that
we couldn't fit in you going to Spain for a
couple of minutes. Well, I knew I was gonna bring

(28:10):
it up. I knew i'd bring it up at some point, Yeah,
like an hour before you're leaving. Yeah, you should have
just not said anything and then not been here a
week from now go where where SAMs in Spain? Excuse you? Yeah,
that would have that would have flown over well with you. Yeah,
so at least you got some heads up. Careful there.

(28:32):
You gotta make sure you finished that thought, all right,
Um so do that alone, all right. So the much
like college football, Uh, the NBA has got a domination problem. Right,
It's clear the NBA has got a domination problem. I
was just talking about Alabama and all the scenarios and
craziness that you need to try and keep people interested.
But everybody assumes that it's simply a formality, that it's

(28:55):
gonna be Alabama winning the national title. Um, and that's
gonna be the Golden State Warriors winning another NBA title
because they're just better than everybody. Um. So if we
know or we assume that it's simply a formality, you're
gonna need as many compelling stories up until the ending.
If you know what the ending is and what's coming
up around the corner, Like, you've got to figure out

(29:16):
a way to keep people engaged. Like you have to Um.
It's like, uh, I've said this. You know. You go
to ah, there's a place out here in l A.
It's called Machelli's. It's this Italian place. And look, there's
a bunch of Italian places out here, out and around
l A. And Machelli's food is average at best. It's

(29:37):
not really all that good. But you don't really go
there for the food. You go there because the waiters
sing opera to you at your table. It's weird, it's
borderline uncomfortable, but it's different, so you embrace it. Um.
You go to Mexican food. If the food is not
all that great, chances are they've got a mariachi band

(29:59):
to take your mind the idea that you just dipped
into guacamole and the guacamole is turquoise. Like they've got
to do something to get your mind off what's actually happening.
So you need something to keep you entertained. You need
something to keep you excited if you know what's coming
up around the corner. So if we know that college
football's a formality in Alabama's gonna win, you need chaos,

(30:22):
as I just mentioned a few minutes ago. If you
know that the n b A is a formality and
it's going to be Golden State winning the title. You
need chaos. And I've said this before, and I talked
about this when it came to college football. The movies
that come on that you always watch no matter where
it's at in the movie. Okay, for me, it's cop Land,

(30:44):
the movie cop Land. Love cop Land, one of my
one of my favorite movies, but it's not my top
my top three movies of all time. But for some reason,
no matter when it's on or how I turn it on,
or where it's at in the movie, I'm watching it.
I know how it ends. I've seen it. No Country
for Old Men, I know how that ends. I've seen it.
But when it comes on, I'm gonna pay attention. I

(31:08):
know and we all know that the NBA is probably
gonna end with Golden State winning the title. Okay, but
you need good enough scenes before the ending to make
somebody want to sit and watch and pay attention and
actually give a rip about your product, or your movie
or your league. So when Jimmy Butler gets traded to

(31:32):
the Philadelphia seventies sixers, I don't think that does anything
to change the title odds. I mean they moved in Vegas.
I don't think Philadelphia has got a shot at beating
Golden State. I don't even know Philadelphia is a top
four team in the East. I have no idea. But
the NBA needs moves like this to keep it interesting,

(31:52):
and so the Eastern Conference just got more interesting. Toronto
is good, Milwaukee's good, Boston's good. Philip Delphia just got
more compelling. Like you have to have stuff like this,
like it's gotta be fun. You've got to do something
to to to make people interested. You've got to have
enough good scenes before the end of the movie or

(32:14):
else she's just not that interest. Like the movie Heat.
Everybody knows how the movie Heat ends. Everybody's seen it.
We all know how it goes down. We all know
it's al Pacino and it's Robert de Niro and they're
at the airport. We all we know how that movie ends.
But when that shootout scene in downtown l A comes on,
or you see Whang grow hiding underneath a truck at

(32:37):
a diner, you're watching, everybody's like because the scene and
everything before the ending is so good that you every
time it comes on I'm watching it. The NBA needs
stuff like this, They need moves like this. They need
trades to be made like Yes, when it comes to
playoff time and you get to the finals, we know
how it's gonna work out. Golden State's gonna win, all right.

(32:58):
The Rockets can't even the Rockets. I don't even know
if Carmelo Anthony's gonna be on the team that much longer.
They've got to have a conversation to try and figure
out what his role is. Like that's not working. Oklahoma
City has been a disappointment. The Lakers are all over
the place. So the NBA needs stuff like this to

(33:19):
keep people and entertained and interested. So when Jimmy Butler
does get traded to Philadelphia, I don't think it's gonna
change anything. But I do think it's fun him in
that locker room with Embiid and Ben Simmons and in
the city of Philadelphia. I think it's fun. I'm bummed out.
I wish you would have stayed in Minnesota because I
would have enjoyed that chaos all season long. But it's

(33:40):
just another example of the NBA adjusting to what's happening.
The NBA realizing and the NBA needing stories like this
because we already know the ending. Keep the stuff in
between entertaining enough. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio eight seven

next hour. Twelve minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio,
we will have another edition of Knox Locks another winning

(34:48):
week last week, and we will dive into five more picks. Look,
these are your standard boring picks against the spreads. I'll
find prop bets. I'll make stuff up on my own.
But another winning week and we dive back into a
week ten of Knox Locks coming up at the top
of next hour, twelve minutes from now here on Fox

(35:08):
Sports Radio, something we don't do normally on this show
because we're into um, you know, good radio. I've put
together a poll question. Um. We did not know until
we went on the air a short time ago that
Iowa Sam was leaving tomorrow to go to Spain. Now,
how long did you have this vacation booked? Sam? How
long has this been in the works for Uh? Booked

(35:30):
a couple of months, but actually planned out with my family,
Uh like seven or eight months, seven or eight months.
And you never one time in seven or eight months thought,
you know, the people I spend the most time with
on the weekends, why don't I sell? Why don't I
tell them? I thought I did. Honestly, you did not
like that was a genuine surprise. When I said, wait,

(35:51):
You're going to Spain, I had no idea. So we
have made a poll question. Um, so if you go
to at the Jonas Knocks, this poll question will be
up for two hours at the Jonas Knos. Is Iowa
Sam and a whole for not telling us he was
leaving for Spain tomorrow. And your options are yes, absolutely

(36:12):
see or all of the above. All right, those are
the options for Iowa. Sam. So if you want to
be part of this riveting poll question to find out
the behavioral patterns what I what I perceived to be
a sociopath in Iowa? Sam? Who did just found it?
You know, not in his best interest to tell us

(36:33):
he was leaving to go to Europe until on the
show hours before he actually leaves at the Jonas Knocks.
Please take part in this poll question. It's important to vote.
It is important to vote this this day and agement.
Isn't it better than I told you right here in
the air. I actually wish you would be would have
just left a nut said anything that would have been

(36:53):
more fun. We would we would have made an entire
show about it. Um So, Kevin figures, Uh, I know
you've been stunned by this development, Sam doing what he
did to us earlier in the show and surprising us.
Are you gonna take part in this pole question? So
we will update that throughout the uh the course of
the show. By the way, for those of you living
in the Midwest, Um, the options see see means yes

(37:17):
in Spanish. Um, it's not the letter C. Yeah, just
like se I with one of those little crooked things
over the top, or like it a slint whatever, Who cares?
All Right, I want to let you know we are
brought to you by Geico. What does it mean when
Geico says just fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent
or more on car insurance? I means probably should have
gone to Geico dot com fifteen minutes ago. So there

(37:41):
you'll see reactions by players and by coaches or people
that are out on the floor or out on the
field when somebody does something crazy that you've never really
seen before, and you you can tell how incredible the
moment was, because even the professionals, the that are really
good at it are still shocked by it, like they

(38:03):
don't know how to react. Remember the Slam Dunk contest
years ago, Vince Carter in the Slam Dunk Contest hung
on the rim up by his elbow after a dunk,
and there's you can find it on YouTube where they
pan around. I think it's shack and some other players
well didn't know how to react. They were confused because

(38:27):
they thought they just saw him do that, but they
have never seen anybody do it, so they didn't really
know how to react to what they just witnessed because
it had never happened before. They had just had no idea.
And you've seen it in other places. When Odell Beckham
made that catch on Sunday Night Football, the catch that
put him on the map against the Cowboys, I believe

(38:48):
it was Um Chris Collinsworth didn't know how to handle
that like he did. And Chris collins was a good
receiver in the NFL. It's been covering the league, been
around the league for years and years and years. Didn't
know how to handle it. I didn't like thought that
he saw what he saw but didn't wasn't quite sure.
Like there's just moments like that that come up that
you just you don't really know how to react because

(39:10):
it's just bizarre what you've witnessed. When Bo Jackson first
broke the bat over his knee, people in Major League Baseball,
we're looking even like his own teammates in the dugout,
we're thinking of themselves, the hell, did I just see
what happened? Um? That happened in the UFC on Saturday
night and I'm not kidding. It was the twenty five

(39:30):
anniversary show in Denver, their first shows that they ever
did that they put on. I remember watching him. They
were like fourteen dollar pay per views back in the day.
We're all done in Denver. And so they went back
to Denver for a twenty five Anniverstion versary show on
Fox Sports One. And I was talking on the show
last night. I said, Man, if there's a fight, you
gotta watch it. The co main event, Donald SERRONI uh

(39:51):
and and Mike Perry. It's gonna be an awesome fight.
And it was a good fight, but it ended in
the first round Serrooni with an armbar um. Then they
got to the main event and this guy a year Rodriguez,
who's a Mexican m M, A fighter who's really really talented,
UM who's got huge upside, huge potential to be a star,
was fighting a guy whose nickname is the Korean Zombie. Okay,

(40:14):
because you can't knock him out. He's indestructible. His entrance
music is Zombie by the Cranberries. He's awesome to watch.
They're in the fifth round of the fight and they're
raising their hands because they're like it's going to the scorecards.
Whoever wins wins. It's been a hell of a fight.
And yeah, you're Rodriguez on a counter with a second

(40:35):
left in the fight, knocks out the Korean zombie and
nobody can figure out how he did it. He thought, Oh,
maybe he accidentally headbutted him. He ducked down and threw
an elbow behind his back, not looking, and knocked the
guy out with a second left in the fight. I
can describe it, but I can't do it. Justice find it.

(40:59):
I posted the gift the gift on my Twitter feed
earlier in the night. I'm not kidding. It's one of
the craziest best CounterPunch knockouts I've ever seen in my life.
Go check it out at the Jonas Knox and also
vote as to whether or not iowa Sam's and a hole.
It's important stuff. The money train keeps on rolling. Here
Knocks Locks coming up just a couple of minutes from

(41:20):
now here on Fox Sports Radio. I am Jonas Knox
here on fs ARE. You can check out the show
on the I Heart radio app. You can listen to
us on Sirius XM Channel A D three and on
every one of our Fox Sports Radio affiliates wherever you
are listening taking part in the program, we appreciate a
few minutes of your time. We've got like three ou

(41:40):
plus affiliates now all across the country as we come
to you alive from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios,
where fifteen minutes could save you fifteen per center more
on car insurance. Visit Geico dot com for a free
rate quote. We also have um a poll question. We
normally don't do this. Um. There's a couple of thing.
I just want to direct you to my Twitter account,

(42:02):
and I normally I am not one of those people
go follow me on Twitter. I don't even there have
been some people out there have been telling me to
demand that I get a blue check mark. I don't
want a blue check mark, right. I don't know who
puts those together for Twitter, but I don't want it.
If you're offering it to me, give it to somebody else.
I don't want your blue check mark. I'm fine without it,
all right. I don't need uh, I don't need a
fifty dollar Rolex. I can go to guests and buy

(42:25):
one for twenty bucks and it looks just the same,
all right. I don't need your blue check mark, but
if you're handing it out, I'll take it. Okay, I
will take the blue check mark. But go to my
Twitter account nonetheless at the Jonas Knocks, there's two things
I want you to pay attention to. If you go
down on my timeline, you'll see the craziest last second
counter punch and knockout in the history of the UFC.

(42:47):
It doesn't even make sense how it landed. Um go
watch that. It's a gift. It'll take a second of
your time. And then also take part in our poll
question that we have put up. We normally don't do
those poll questions, but we decided this was needed after
we found out no kidding on the air that Iowa Sam,

(43:08):
our technical producer, was leaving to go to Spain tomorrow
and has had this planned for seven or eight months. So, uh,
the options are there. It's a poll question, and it's
very easy because we're we're struggling trying to figure out
which one it is. Um is Iowa Sam and a
hole for not telling us that he was leaving for

(43:29):
Spain tomorrow. And your options are yes, absolutely, see or
all of the above. Right, those are your options at
the Jonas Knocks take part in our poll question. We
will update that until the end of the show here
on fs are right now though, it is time for
this lock it. Let's lock this Eno Knocks locks. Now.

(43:54):
I need to reset how this went down a week
ago here on Knox Locks, because I had a three
and two weeks, but I should have been four and one.
I got jobbed. Actually, you know, now that I think
about it, I should have been five and oh here's why.
So I told you that I like the Steelers plus
two and a half at the Ravens. I mean, those

(44:14):
two teams are going in opposite directions. It's not working
in Baltimore. All sorts of change, all sorts of turnover.
I like the Steelers in that spot. I I like
the Steelers getting revenge for a previous loss to Baltimore.
So I hit on that right. I also told you
that Patrick Mahomes would throw under three and a half
touchdown passes in his game against the Cleveland Browns. That

(44:37):
was even money. You could have found that in a
lot of prop markets. It was right there for the
for the taking. I just felt good about it. I
think Cleveland's defense, although they've struggled is better than sometimes
when they get credit for and it just felt like
in that spot, I liked Patrick Mahomes under the three
and a half touchdowns, and that's exactly what I got.
I also really like the Saints getting two and a

(45:01):
half points at home against the l A. Rams. To me,
it felt like the Rams have been kind of dancing
with with a loss there for a couple of times
already this season. New Orleans was rolling. It was in
the Superdome. The idea that they were getting points didn't
make a lot of sense to me, but I went
with New Orleans. Here's where I got screwed a couple
of quarterback props. I made the mistake of trusting Nathan Peterman.

(45:27):
I'll never do it again, not trusting Nathan Peterman again.
All I asked was for Nathan Peterman to throw under
one and a half interceptions in the Bills game against
the Bears. I'm not asking for a lot. He's a
professional quarterback under one and a half interceptions, So what
did he do? He threw three, but two of them

(45:48):
were deflected, all right, So a deflected interception I don't
think should count. I think that should be put in
a different category if it bounces off a receiver's hand
and then it gets intercepted. I don't think you have
to hold the quarterback accountable, but until they make that
rule change, I will swallow the loss and I'll take
Nathan Peterman the over or the under of one and

(46:09):
a half interceptions as a loss. On last week edition
of Knox Locks and then also Sunday Night Football, I
had Tom Brady to throw more past completions than Aaron
Rodgers and I lost by two, which is a joke.
I thought, I mean, all the dump offs at Brady throws.
I thought that would have been easy money. That was
the one I felt most confident about last week, but

(46:30):
I ended up getting jobbed on that as well too,
So nonetheless, I will take my two losses three and
two a week ago. That puts me at nineteen and
eleven on the season. So let's get rolling into Week ten.
So the Colts are a three point favorite. This is
a one pm Eastern time kickoff. Both these teams are

(46:53):
three and five. So let me just ask you, if
the Colts weren't in the midst of a two game
winning streak, and if the Jaguars weren't in the midst
of a four game losing streak. Would Indianapolis still be
favored They're the same record. This feels like a recency
bias to me. The Jaguars four straight losses that I

(47:14):
just mentioned were against the following the Kansas City Chiefs
in Kansas City, the Cowboys in Dallas, the Texans who
are leading the division, and the Eagles, the defending Super
Bowl champions in London. The Cults have beating the Bills
and the Raiders. Okay, like these are two completely different

(47:36):
three and five's. I'm not thrilled about putting my money
on Blake Bortles on the road. I'm not excited about it.
It's not a comfortable, a very comfortable feeling. But I
trust that a defense that has been disappointing can come
in and off thereby make enough big plays to get
Jacksonville to win or at least keep it close. I
like the Jags plus three Chargers Raiders. The Chargers are

(48:04):
a ten point favorite at Oakland. This is a four
or five Eastern time kickoff on Fox. The Chargers were
my Super Bowl pick before the season. I didn't feel
great about it early on. I love the pick now
and I'm liking it more and more each week. I
like how they've been playing. When you can go to
Seattle and you can win, and you can dominate that

(48:25):
game at certain points, that tells me a lot about
where the team is at. And the Raiders have been
a complete mess. We've talked about it. I mean, everybody's
getting traded or cut or released. Derek Carr, they don't
know whether they like him. Uh, they get embarrassed on
Thursday Night football to some guy by the name of
Nick Mullen's Uh, it's just it's been terrible for the
Oakland Raiders. Been awful. But this is a division game.

(48:49):
And if I'm the only guy on Gruden Island still
waiving the flag and telling everybody to relax, it's gonna
be fine. Have some trust. It's gonna take a little time,
but this is part of the rebuild it. If I'm
gonna do that, then give me the home team coming
in on extra rest and getting double digits at home
in their place. I like the Raiders plus ten Lions Bears.

(49:14):
This is a one Eastern time kickoff on Fox. I
have got my eyes set on a prop bet in
this game. It's the total number of sacks for the
Chicago Bears, and the over under is set at three
and a half. This is simple logic, simple numbers. The
more you drop back to pass, the more it increases

(49:37):
your odds for a sack. In a perfect world, Detroit
would like to run the ball and take some heat
off Matt Stafford. He was sacked ten times last week
against the Vikings. Here's the problem. The Bears are one
of the best run stopping teams in the league, and
a team who gets back Khalil Mack for the first

(49:57):
time in three weeks. I think they get after at Stafford.
I think Mac opens up the pass rush even more.
I love the Bears over three and a half sacks
coming up later on Sunday. Ships This is a one
Eastern time kickoff. Look, I say this all the time.
Back in the day, the NFL used to have this

(50:19):
thing to where there'd be one game a week that
was in Standard Deaf. Everything else was in HD when
HD first came out. If this was back then, this
would be the game and Standard Deaf. In fact, I
don't even know if this game would be on I'll
be honest, I don't even know if anybody would even
want this game, It'll be the least watched game of
the entire weekend in the NFL, college football, the n

(50:40):
b A, the w n b A, you name it,
your kids, little league teams, Pop Warner, nobody will be
get less attention paid to them than the Jets and
the Bills coming up on Sunday. But I do like
a bet in this game, and money talks. This is
a one eastern time kickoff, and the total number of
intercepts by both teams in this game the over unders

(51:03):
at two and a half. I'm going back to the
well here because I got job by Nathan Peterman, and
I got jobbed on the bed I took a week ago,
and Nathan Peterman under one and a half interception. So
I'm going back to the well. Who is most susceptible
to interceptions in the NFL? Bad quarterbacks and or young quarterbacks. Well,

(51:25):
neither Sam Donald nor Nathan Peterman are starting this game.
In their place is Josh McCown and Matt Barkley. Josh
McCown isn't gonna go out there and sling it around.
He's a veteran, he's smart. Matt Barkley isn't going out
there to to take a bunch of risks. He's been
out of the league. He knows if he's reckless, it

(51:46):
hurts his chances at gigs moving forward. So a veteran
who plays smart and another who will play it safe
in a brand new offense they're not familiar with. I
like the total number of interceptions in this game under
two and a half. Seahawks at Rams. The Rams are

(52:07):
a nine and a half point favorite. This is a
four five pm Eastern Time kickoff at that dump they
called the l a Colosseum. Look, we just saw this
a couple of weeks ago, a Hall of Fame Super
Bowl winning quarterback getting nearly double digit points on the
road at the Rams. Then it was Aaron Rodgers, and

(52:29):
now it's Russell Wilson who comes in as the biggest
underdog of his career. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses.
The Rams to the Saints. They were getting wiped out
in that game. They made a run, they got back
into it, and still they lost by ten points. Marcus
Peters is talking trash afterwards to Sean Payton, the Saints coach.

(52:51):
The Rams finally lost a game. The Seahawks lost at
home to the l A Chargers a week ago. Seattle
was getting beaten in that game, but they make enough plays,
and they had an opportunity late to tie the game
and potentially force over time, and they came up short.
I think the Rams are clearly the better team. They're
running away with this division, which is not a surprise.

(53:11):
And even though they beat the Seahawks earlier this season,
these games, much like earlier this season, have always been
pretty competitive over the years, And much like Aaron Rodgers
a couple of weeks ago, this is all about value.
I cannot pass up getting nine and a half points
with a Hall of Fame quarterback starting even on the

(53:33):
road at the Rams. Give me the Seahawks plus nine
and a half, and that is this week's edition of
Knox Lops. You know what that smells like? Smells like
one and four to me. I got no faith in
those picks. Sometimes it feels all right, sometimes it doesn't.

(53:56):
I don't have a lot of faith in that, but
we're still gonna sling it all right. Jonas NOx here,
Fox Sports Radio Company Alive Here from the Geico Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Eight seven seven Foxes the phone number
eight seven seven six three six nine. You can also
get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox um Up
next here, there is a team that's being applauded for

(54:20):
a recent decision they made in the world of sports.
Everybody is giving them a round of applause. I'm gonna
tell you why this move could potentially blow up in
their face. That's next here on Fox Sports Radio, jon
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio Company Alive here from the
Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios, telling you man the Korean Zombie.

(54:43):
First of all, it's the greatest nickname in the in fighting. Actually,
I'll put it this way, um. And by the way,
you listening on the podcast right now, Sam just played
the song Zombie by the Cranberries. Good song, um, And
that's his entrance music. And he's a Korean guy, hen
the name Korean Zombie. And he's an m M a
fighter and he's just indestructible. You can't stop him. He

(55:06):
just continues to come forward and get a beating and
it doesn't matter because he continues to come forward and
he and he like finish his fights late in fights
because he just won't stop fighting. And he ended up
getting knocked out on the craziest CounterPunch knockout I've ever
seen to wear a guy ducked down through an elbow
up intentionally, wasn't an accident, intentionally and KOed him with

(55:30):
a second left in the fight. And I don't know
what's more impressive that, yeah, you're Rodriguez who did this
intentionally through the shot the way that he did, or
that it was the Korean zombie who never gets knocked
out and he ended up getting knocked out with the
second left. And it was the anniversary anniversary at the
UFC event that went on on Fox Sports One on Saturday.

(55:52):
It's crazy. You can find it on my on my
Twitter account at the Jonas Knocks. It is unreal, just
a just a crazy, crazy knockout so he can get
to At the Jonas Knocks, you can see it there.
We also have a poll question. Iowa Sam just now
told us earlier in the show that he's leaving to
go to Spain. Um coming up, actually today he's going today.

(56:17):
Um just yeah, he's gone, uh new for seven or
eight months. We had no idea he never told us.
So the poll question is up. I posted it there. Uh.
The poll question is is Iowa Sam and a hole
for not telling us he was leaving for Spain tomorrow.
And your options are yes, absolutely, see or all of

(56:39):
the above. So we will have those results before the
end of the show. Um, and we will keep you
posted on that now. Kevin figures I know that we
are big fans of the sincerely tweets one of my favorites.
Guy rights in and goes, hey, Jonas, I forgot to
tell you, but I got married last summer, signed Iowa Sam.
That's we're getting warmer, wetting warmer. I also got this one. Um.

(57:09):
Uh yeah, we hate it when we get unexpected surprises,
signed the family of Caitlyn Jenner. So I think that
I think the listeners are getting the hang of this.
They starting to what you guys, just starting to really
really get what we're doing here on the show. And
it makes me happy. So if you have any more

(57:31):
of those gems that you would like to throw our away,
we will read those. We'll read the ones we can
on the air, because I have shown Kevin some of
the ones that we can't read on the area and
that's why we still have jobs. Um. So yeah, that'll
be Uh, those will be fun to keep trying to
keep them coming. Yes, all right. We also coming up
in about six minutes from now here on Fox Sports

(57:53):
Radio another edition of Guests That Garbage. If you know
your NFL trivia. Every week on the show, we do
something called Guests That Garbage. It is where we go
around the country, potentially around the world, and I quiz
you on NFL knowledge and it's all easy stuff like
it's it's not hard at all. But the problem is
you guys get nervous on the air and you struggle

(58:16):
and then you start stammering and you give wrong answers
and you get nervous, and look, I understand, but I'm
gonna give you the option again. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven six three six nine.
Guess that Garbage coming up five minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. If you think you know the NFL,

(58:36):
call now operators standing by. So I was talking about
this Jimmy Butler trade, and I think it's good for
the NBA because at least it keeps things interesting. Um
And the comparison I was making is if there's a
movie that comes on that you can watch every time.
Some people call shawshankt the reason that you can watch
that movie even though you already know the ending is

(58:57):
because the acting and the scenes and the stuff before
the ending is so good that you don't even mind
that you already know how the movie finishes up. There's
certain movies you can watch once and you don't need
to see it again. There's other movies that stand the
test of time and you just watch them, and they're
so good that even though you know how it ends,
you can just sit through it and and watch him
and everybody has that movie for him. For me, it's

(59:18):
a movie Copland or No Country for Old Men, or
Heat or just some of these forgetting Sarah Marshall's another
one where I can just watch it wherever it's at
in the movie and just enjoy it, even though I
know how it ends. And the NBA, you kind of
already have an idea how it's gonna end. Golden State,
It's gonna win the title. Again. They're better than everybody.
We're good here. So you gotta do something to keep
people enticed and keep people interested. You've got to make

(59:39):
sure that the stuff before the ending of the movie
is good enough. And so when Jimmy Butler gets traded
to the seventy six ers. That's good for the league.
It's good to keep it interesting. It's good to shake
things up a little bit. He goes to the Eastern
Conference Philadelphia. I is one of the best better teams
in the Eastern Conference with Boston and Toronto and Awakee

(01:00:00):
in whatever particular order those will be. You would consider
the top teams in the Eastern Conference down the stretch
and into the postseason. Um, here's why. Uh, here's where
I would have a reservation about it. If I was
a seventies sixers fan. Why didn't it work for Jimmy
Butler in Minnesota? Just ask yourself that question. Why didn't

(01:00:23):
it work? Well? Didn't work because he couldn't get along
with his teammates and they had bad relationships because they're
personalities and what he was trying to accomplish just didn't mesh.
That's why it didn't work. I mean, so the chemistry

(01:00:43):
bled over onto the floor. There was drama, There was
in fighting, uh, stuff on social media, all that stuff
like that's why I didn't work. So Jimmy Butler couldn't
coexist with two young stars who were okay taking a
secondary role to an established vet like Jimmy Butler and

(01:01:05):
that didn't work. Yet you think two young stars who
won't be okay and taking a secondary role to Jimmy
Butler is a good mix? Like, how does that work?
Like you oh, if Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony Towns
couldn't co exist with Jimmy Butler and those guys are subservient,

(01:01:26):
those guys are You don't hear a peep from those
guys if they couldn't work, and if they were fighting
on social media? What do you think's gonna happen when
Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler butt heads? I mean, like,
how do you think that's gonna play out? If they
couldn't work, if those guys who keep quiet and you

(01:01:48):
don't hear a damn thing about Karl Anthony Towns or
Andrew Wiggins off the floor, If if those guys couldn't
make it work with Jimmy Butler, what do you think
is gonna happen when when Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons,
who's been on and off dating a Kardashian or a
jenn or whoever the hell it is, uh, when those
guys butt heads, Like this is a Look, he's a

(01:02:10):
good player, but you've got a track record, you get
a little bit of a reputation of a guy who
doesn't get along with teammates. And if he couldn't get
along with those teammates, how do you think it's gonna
play out in Philly? Anybody else see that? This might
be a potential issue, maybe possibly might be something to
worry about, might be something to kind of keep an

(01:02:30):
eye on, you know, a potential doom on its way.
Do anybody else see that? I mean, they're already talking extension.
There's reports that they already have an understanding that they're
going to get a long term contract extension done. Man,
I'd hold off on that. If I were Philly, I'd
hold off on that, like this is a big risk.

(01:02:51):
Oh and by the way, um, just a small little
detail here. Um, in a three point shooting league, Philadelphia
was already in the bottom ten. Jimmy Butler, by himself,
is seventy four in three point percentage in the n
v A. So you were already a bad three point
shooting team in a three point shooting league, and you

(01:03:12):
just got worse. Like everybody celebrating the move, Oh my god,
A Big Three, the Big Three in Philly. Oh man,
this is gonna be a monster move. Look, it's fun,
it's a fun move, but there is danger and potential
chaos written all over that. And it's great for us.
We all got to sit back and watch it. But

(01:03:33):
if I were a seventy sixer fan, I'd slow down
a little bit. Hold on, hold on, no, no, no,
hold on? What do we really got here? You know?
Like this guy did didn't work here in Chicago towards
the end, um it didn't work in Minnesota and that
was his former coach that he loved, and it didn't
work there because he couldn't coexist. It seems to me

(01:03:55):
like Jimmy Butler wants to be the guy, and that's fine.
Who doesn't like I get it, That's totally fine. Joel
embiids not taking a back seat to Jimmy Butler. It's
not happening, and not ever happening. If he trolls a
guy like Andre Drummond, you think he's gonna put up
with Jimmy Butler. Um Ben Simmons is not taking a
back seat to Jimmy Butler. That's not happening at all.

(01:04:20):
So unless he's a completely different person than he was,
or completely different teammate in Minnesota. I would just be
pretty cautious about moving forward with Jimmy Butler because you've
already seen it doesn't work with other young superstars. Jonas
knocks Fox Sports Radio eight seven seven nine on Fox

(01:04:41):
is the phone number that is an important number. And
here's why. Every week on the show we play something
called Guests that Garbage. I'm gonna go around the country,
potentially around the world, and I'm gonna test you on
your NFL trivia. Right, these all seem like easy questions.
We all know the NFL, we all love the NFL,
but for some reason, you guys struggle when you get

(01:05:02):
on the big stage. So if you want to be
a part of it, if you've got the guts to
take a shot at NFL trivia, here on Fox Sports
Radio eight seven seven ninety nine on foxes the phone
number eight seven seven nine six six three six nine.
Guests that Garbage is next. But for all the latest,
it's Captain Figures, all right. Jonas will start with college football,

(01:05:23):
where every team in the top ten. One. On Saturday,
top ranked Alabama with notching got shutout victory over number
sixteen Mississippi State to a tongue of Baloa with a
touchdown pass twenty four nothing was the final scores. Second
rank clemsict yards passing and two scores from Trevor Lawrence
in a twenty seven to seven road win over seventeenth
rank Boston College. Third rank Nuer Dame ran for over

(01:05:44):
three hundred and sixty yards. They blew out Florida State
in Michigan and Georgia with law victories. Oklahoma Outlets at
Oklahoma State to forty seven. Online car shopping can be confusing,
not anymore. With True Price from True Car Now, you
can know the exact price you'll pay for your next car.
So it is a true cards to enjoy a more
confident car buying experience. If the NBA, the Lakers beat
the Kings and Sacramento one on one to eighties six Dallas,

(01:06:07):
snapping Oklahoma City's seven game win streak. The Warriors were
without Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Sharle Livingston still beat
Brooklyn handily one sixteen to one hundred. Wizards, Pelicans and
Spurs each with victories. Memphis beat the Shorthand at seventies
sixers and over time. As Philly's playing a few men down,
they bench Dario Sarik, Robert cumins In and Jared Bayliss,
all of which are central pieces to the Jimmy Butler trade,

(01:06:27):
which is expected to become official early next week. Back
to Jonas Knocks, Thanks Kavire, coming to you live here
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. It's easy to
say fifteen per center more on car insurance with Geico.
Go to Geico dot com call eight nine of an auto.
The only hard part figuring out which way is easier.

(01:06:48):
So we uh yeah, you a, you ask for certain
things and then uh, you're you're always curious, who's gonna
go too far with some of these things that they
send in on social media? Um and uh yeah, yeah,
uh you know. I mean we've been talking about Iowa

(01:07:10):
Sam not telling us about going to Spain until like
on the show the day before he leaves, and then
now people are chiming in with, uh with with some
of these sincerely tweets that uh I cannot read on
the air, one of them involving Kurt Cobain. And I'm
sure we can all uh put two and two together
and uh and figure out what direction that went in.

(01:07:30):
So so there's that. All right. It is time, by
the way, coming up in twelve minutes from now here
on Fox Sports Radio. What we think may happen in football?
We we all assume and we all think this is
going to happen. I've been doing some research. I actually
think I've got bad news. All right, I think I've
got bad news. You should be very concerned about two

(01:07:52):
teams in football, and I'll tell you who that is,
coming up in about twelve minutes from now. Right now, though,
it's time for this. Oh my god, what the hell
is that smell? These two teams flat out it always
has sunk. He stinks, stinks he welcome to the baby.
How that garbage? Yeah, So every week at this time,

(01:08:16):
we go around the country and we play a little
game called Guests that Garbage. I've got basic NFL trivia here,
basic questions. They should all be easy, and for some
reason they are not for you guys. You could be drunk,
you could be stoned, you could be confused, you could
be nervous. Bottom line, you usually don't perform well. So
we're gonna give it another shot, and we're gonna start

(01:08:38):
in Burbank, California, where you can hear Kevin Figure's voice
every single day during the week. Matt is joining us
live from Burbank, California. Maw, what's happening? Um? Hey, you
dropped your phone in your fish tank? Matt, all right,

(01:08:59):
we're good now. Uh what, Matt? What was the name
of that karaoke bar across from uh in Burbank that
was there for a long time? Was the Dimples or
something like? Kevin? Yeah? Yeah, Kevin Figures used to go
over there all the time. Yes, Mr Belding from us
Saved by the Bellies to go there all the time. Yeah, no,

(01:09:23):
he did not that serious. Yes, Mr Belding. Kevin Figures
was sharing a mike with Mr Belding from Stay by
the bell I don't know if we ever did a duet,
but we had a couple of beers together. Dennis Haskins
is his name, Yes, Denis hast Wow. Interesting? All right,
So Matt, you like the NFL? Correct the damn straight man.

(01:09:43):
Let me ask you this, which NFL team currently has
the longest losing streak in the league. Longest losing streak
in the league would be the Giants, That is correct?
How about Matt and Burbank barber A Dimplo's veteran, and

(01:10:04):
he has spot on the New York Giants a five
game losing streak, the worst in the NFL. So congrat
well done there by Matt. I thought I thought for
sure he was going to butcher that he did not.
I was in process. Let's go to Orlando where Malik
is listening here on Fox Sports Radio. Malik, what's happening? Hey,
what's up? How are you doing? Good man? What are
you guys going on a chilling? So? What is chilling involved?

(01:10:27):
What are we doing? Are you? Are you drinking a
couple of beers? You just relaxing? What's happening? Here's your
hand in your pants? Are you? Are you Al Bundy?
Right now? What's going on? Relaxing? Though? I'm in a
bed with my wife. She's sleep right now. Hold that second, Hey,
put the phone up next door. Is she snore? Yes?
She does, all right, Look, put put the phone up

(01:10:48):
next door. We're not gonna give out her name. So
just she's sleeping. She's snore right now. She's sleep though.
Oh damn, I was gonna say we could get her story. Look,
we've had people call into the show and they've been
on hold and by the time we go to them,
they're snoring. And so we just like that. Dota tell
you how good this show is. Um, all right, so
here we go, Maleek. This is the question for you, man,

(01:11:10):
and I've got I've got multiple choice, right, multiple choice.
I want you to listen to all the options before
you take your guess. Alright, So Thursday night football we
saw Ben Roethlisberger. He played really well. Here's the question
for you. Who was the last Steelers quarterback not named
Ben Roethlisberger to make a Pro Bowl? And here are
your options. Was it Cordell Stewart, Neil O'Donnell, Tommy Maddox,

(01:11:36):
Bubby Brister or Bubby brist him. Wow, it's going to
be out of two choices. Cordel Stewart, Neil o'downald. Uh,
I'm gonna say Neil o'donald. That is incorrect. I know

(01:12:00):
that it is incorrect. Yeah, it's Cordels. Something tells me
you wanted to say Cordel Stewart. But yeah, Cordel Steward.
But but hey, hey, so we'll let you go. I
don't want you to wake up your wife. I don't
want you to get she's piste off. No, don't wake
her up. If she's piste off at you, it's gonna
ruin your Sunday. So we'll let you go. Call back
anytime though, especially especially she's snoring. I want to hear

(01:12:20):
a snore in the air. That's all right, there's always
next time. Don't want you know the number? Okay, right,
thanks Maleek? All right, all right, bar live radio. What
do you want? All right, let's go to Arizona where
Angel is listening on Fox Sports Radio. Angel, what's happening? Hey,

(01:12:41):
what's up? Jonah? Uh? You tell me, man, what's going on? Nothing?
Just working overnight shift. Where do you work? Grocery fries? Uh? Nice?
All right? So do you So you're doing like all
the shelves, stock in the shelves, getting everything ready and
all that. Yes, yes, yes, week. Hey, I had a
buddy who did that. That's not a bad gig man

(01:13:03):
at all. And now to you, Oh well, I appreciate it, man,
But no, I had a buddy who did that during
the holiday season and it was awesome because you just
go in there. You don't have to deal with customers,
it's already closed. You can listen to whatever you want.
Who knows you can probably smoke weed in your car
and going and work. I'm not saying I'm not I'm
not saying you are, Angel, but I'm just saying that

(01:13:24):
is an option on the table. But yeah, yeah, that's
all right. Um alright, so Angel, here's the question for me. Man,
I got a true or false? True or false? Since
they're Super Bowl loss to the Broncos, the Panthers have
no playoff appearances? True or false? I would say false.

(01:13:44):
That is correct. That is correct, Angel, that is correct. Yeah,
they actually made the playoffs a year ago, one of
those one and done teams that you kind of forget
about from time to time. But but yeah, that is
there is a correct answer. Let's go out to want
to go Let's go to Mitch, who's in Ohio listening
on Fox Sports Radio. Mitch, what's happening? All Hey, what's up? Journals? Uh?

(01:14:08):
What's going on with you? Man? Just all right? There
we go. Now, Mitch, this is our it seems like
our monthly check. What's the temperature like? Now? Alright, we're
approaching December. What's the temperature like? Little boy, Man, there
was a time you called in it was like seventy two.
Those days are long gone. Brother. Now do you have

(01:14:29):
you got gloves on? You weren't a glove? No, I
can't roll papers like that. I hear you, man Iowa.
Sam also doesn't wear a glove. That's a whole another story. Um,
all right, So Mitch, here's the here's the question for
well now, because he's he's got a one hand for you,
guys are sick. It's your minds out of the gunner.
All right, here's the here's the question for you, Mitch.

(01:14:49):
H This is multiple choice. Um are actually not multiple choice,
but there are a couple of options here for you.
All right. So, of the five rookie quarterbacks taken in
the first round of this year's draft, all right, Baker Mayfield,
Sam Donald, Josh Allen, Josh Rose, and Lamar Jackson, which
to have appeared in every game thus far, Sam Donald

(01:15:17):
and Josh Allen. That is incorrect. You know that is incorrect.
The answer is Sam Donald and Lamar Jackson. You see,
Lamar Jackson has appeared in every game. I just hasn't
played much quarterback. But Sam Donald, who is expected to
miss uh their start against the Buffalo Bills, coming up

(01:15:38):
later that'll and that and Lamar Jackson, who may end
up being starter next next week is so there we go.
So that is incorrect. Um. But finally we have one left.
Let's go to Hawthorne, California. I have no idea where
the hell Hawthorne, California. Marcus is in Hawthorne, Marcus, where's Hawthorne?
Hawthorne is around right? Axe of the small cities over there, oh,

(01:16:01):
near Inglewood and all that. Yeah, Inglewood, Guardina, Uh, nice
stuff like that. Nice? Alright. So so Marcus, UM, here's
the question for you. Now. Now this definitely is a
multiple choice. I want you to listen to all the
options before you before you make your guests. All right,
all right, here we go. So Dez Bryant signed with

(01:16:22):
the Saints, and we know obviously the injury and all that. Um,
but let me ask you this. It's about the Cowboys,
after Cole Beasley and Ezekiel Elliott, who is the cowboy
with the most receptions this season? Here are your options?
Is it Alan Hearns, Deonte Thompson, Jeff Swain, Dalton Schultz

(01:16:44):
or Dalton from Roadhouse? Mm hmmm, It's it's either beyonte
Thompson or Alan Hans um Alan Hanson. So I'm gonna
go Deonte Thompson. That is incorrect. You know. The correct
answer is Jeff Swain. Yeah, Jeff Swayine. Don't worry. I've

(01:17:06):
never heard him either. Uh. Nineteen catches this year. That
puts him the bird. Jeff Swain. Actually Deante Thompson, I
believe just got released. Um. So that is uh, that
is where they are at when it comes to the
receiver position in Dallas. But nonetheless, everybody callback will continue
to do it every single week. You guys are all good,
all good participants, a lot of good energy. Uh, and nonetheless,
a two and three performance here on guests at Garbage.

(01:17:30):
It's better than the oh and five you guys have
put up before. So we will play again next to
next week here on Fox Sports Radio. Jonas knocks here

(01:18:19):
coming to you alive from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
We'll have the NFL Our coming up next hour here
on Fox Sports Radio. That's coming up in less than
ten minutes from now. Uh those are you not listening
to the podcast? We have some very Latin flavorful music
playing right now. Uh. It tasked to do with our
poll question that we did not plan on before we

(01:18:39):
got to the show, because I had no idea that
Iowa Sam was leaving to go to Spain tomorrow. So
we have a poll question up at the Jonas Knocks.
At the Jonas Knocks, you have less than an hour
to vote on this poll question. Sam who surprised us
on the air to tell us that he was going
to Spain tomorrow when we had no idea. The question is,

(01:19:01):

he was leaving for Spain tomorrow and your options are yes, absolutely,
c or all of the above. Yeah. So please everybody
get involved. You can vote on that, you can have
a good time, and we will. We will give you
the results before the end of the show here on

So I was I was talking about earlier how it's
not the craziest thing in the world, Like I know,
it seems crazy, but Gary Danielson of CBS throughout the
idea that Georgia could still get into the College Football

(01:19:43):
Playoff over Michigan, and I initially just dismissed it because
I thought Gary Danielson was just kind of, you know,
caping up for the SEC and he was trying to,
you know, groove it for the SEC because you know,
he's part of the SEC on CBS broadcast. And then
you actually think about it, and if Georgia were to
run the table and they were to beat Alabama in

(01:20:04):
the SEC title game, I mean, is Alabama fall all
the way out of the top four? I don't think so.
I think they would still stay in the top four,
and so then it would come down to who do
you knock out Michigan or Notre Dame will Notre Dame
one head to head. So I don't think it's the crazy.
I don't think it's gonna happen. But I don't think
it's that crazy of a thought to see two SEC

(01:20:26):
teams get in and Michigan get dropped out of the
top five. But here's the other thing. I think it's
always good to have new but old blood in the mix.
So Notre Dame in Michigan with the great traditions, being
in the College Football Playoff is great because we've seen
Alabama Clemson so many times in a row. But they've
both got work to do and some dangerous games coming up.

(01:20:48):
Notre Dame has got Syracuse at Yankee Stadium. Who the
hell knows what's going to happen there, neutral site, crazy environment.
Syracuse is much better than a lot of people expected
always coached. You have no idea what's gonna happen there.
And then Michigan still has to go to Ohio State
and beat them at the Horseshoe, and that's going to
be a de facto national title for Ohio State that

(01:21:11):
you're going to get the best version of Ohio state
that you've gotten the entire season, so I still think
there's a lot of work to do for both Notre
Dame and Michigan to get there. All NFL our coming
up next year on fs ARE. It is the All
NFL Hour here on Fox Sports Radio, Nothing but the
National Football League is. We get you set for kickoff

(01:21:33):
around the league in week ten, now less than eight
hours away here on Fox Sports Radio. Jonas knocks on
fs ARE. You can check out the show on the
I Heart Radio app. You can find us always on
Sirius XM channel Lady three and wherever you are on
all three plus affiliates. We always appreciate a few minutes
your time, as we do it here live from the

(01:21:54):
Geico Fox Sports Radio studios, or fifteen minutes could save
you fifteen per cent or more on car insurance. Is
at Geico dot com for a free rate quote. We
also have several UM impact players who are returning from injury.
Leonard Fournette uh the Jags get their running back back.
Leonard Fournette is back. Sony Michelle expected to be back

(01:22:15):
for the New England Patriots. UM the Patriots, though still
questionable Rob Gronkowski wait and see on that. Uh, and
the Bears are gonna get back Khalil Mack, who's missed
a couple of games, as well as Allen Robinson um
probably their most dangerous wide receiver UM wide receiver deep
threat that is in Chicago. So Key returns for several

(01:22:37):
teams around the league. So we'll keep you up to
date if there's any other starts and sits or injuries
or late breaking news around the NFL in Week ten.
As the show progressed this here on Fox Sports Radio.
But um, we do have a situation that's been going
on for a long time in the NFL. It's this
has been happening for months and months and months, and

(01:22:57):
I don't think anybody expected it to get to this point.
So levy on Bell apparently isn't showing up at all.
It's not happening. Reports came out, and some conflicting reports
because Adam Schefter was reporting one thing, Ian Rap Report
was reporting the other. But what we're looking at is

(01:23:18):
either Levy on Bell not showing up to the Pittsburgh
Steelers or that the Steelers just don't expect him to
show up by the Tuesday deadline to get his deal done,
or they don't want him there by the Tuesday deadline
and they just want to move on. So therefore Levy
on Bell is going to be ineligible for the entire
season now. He talked about this potential months and months

(01:23:41):
and months ago. If he got franchised a second time,
he would consider sitting out the season. Nah no, he's
he's full of crap. He's not actually gonna do it.
Oh no, no, no, no. Here we are Tuesday's d
day and he might be done. He might not play
the entire season in And my point on this initially

(01:24:02):
and we talked about it earlier in the show, is
if I were James Conner, I'm watching all this, I'm
taking notes because if you want to know who you're
dating or who you're hanging out with, find out how
their previous relationships ended. Like if they just parted ways,
or if they just decided they wanted to see other

(01:24:23):
people and it just wasn't really working, that's fine, that's normal.
But if they cheated on their X with you and
that's why they broke up, you might want to take
note of that. So in case something starts to look
a little fishy down the road, you can think back
and go, well, you know they do have that on
their resume, that is that is an option for him.

(01:24:44):
So if I'm James Conner, I'm paying attention to all
this because when it comes to my turn for free agency,
when my contract comes up, I want to know is
this how I'm gonna be treated? Is this how they're
gonna handle me? Are they gonna want to franchise me
multiple years in a row because it's easier for them
and they don't have to amit long term. I'm not
saying the Steelers are doing anything wrong with it. I'm
not the Steelers. That's their choice. I get it makes

(01:25:07):
sense to me. But if I'm Levy on Bell, if
I'm James Conner, I'm looking at the Levy on Bell
situation going, man, how's this gonna play for me? Teammates
calling me out? Organization, you're not wanting to work with
me on this? How's this gonna work with me? And again,
I'm not saying anybody's right or anybody's wrong in this situation.
I actually believe both parties are going to benefit from it.

(01:25:30):
I really do. I think the Steelers are gonna be
fine without Levyan Bell. They already are with James Conner.
I think Levyon Bell is still gonna get his money.
People out there that think Levy On Bell's hurt his
reputation because James Connor is playing well stop. As I
said on the show yesterday, there's not a general manager
in the NFL who thinks James Conner is a better
running back than levy On Bell. Nobody. If your team

(01:25:53):
and you need a running back and you need an
impact player on offense, you can't do better than one
of the best running back in the league. And levy
On Bell and a guy who's completely and totally healthy
because he hasn't played in a year, He'll be fine.
The Steelers will be fine. This whole thing is gonna
work out. But I will acknowledge, and I'll be honest.

(01:26:20):
I don't think this was planned by Levyan Bell. I
think he talked about it. I think he threatened it.
I think he said, I will sit out if I
don't get my contract, or I will sit out if
they try and franchise me again. But it kind of
does feel like Levyan Bell is making this up as
he goes along. Kind of feels like he's just addressing

(01:26:43):
a couple of things as they go along, and well,
we'll see, you know, we'll see, uh, we'll see whether
or not this actually works. It feels actually like the
Terrell Owens Hall of Fame speech and Hall of Fame decision.
That's what it feels like. When Terall Owens made his
descisi Asian to not go to the Hall of Fame.
I didn't mind it. It's his choice, his hall, Hall

(01:27:03):
of Fame. You can think it's disrespectful whatever, that's his choice,
his prerogative. I don't want to go. I have my reasons,
no problem, had no issue with that. It was his
reasoning that he gave that he was quote doing it
for the others moving forward that I just didn't buy. Like,
if you're really doing it for the others, wouldn't you

(01:27:25):
want to raise awareness for your cause? So if you
want to raise awareness for your cause, why wouldn't you
go to the place where you can speak to the
most people, not a bingo hall in Tennessee. It didn't
make sense. So it felt like Tara Loans was just
kind of making it up as he went along, like
he didn't He kind of had a plan, but he
ever really know how to execute the plan, and so

(01:27:46):
he just kind of, you know, kind of you know,
b asked his way around, gave a gave different answers
on different interviews. That's It's what it felt like. Levy
On Bell I think was ready to do what he
did last year. This is what I think, my my opinion,
my theory on matter. I think levy On Bell was
ready to do what he did last year. I think
he was ready to show up September one. I think

(01:28:06):
he was ready to play on the franchise tag and
he was going to go that direction. And then there
were reports that he was going to show up September one,
and he dismissed those reports and no, no, no, that's
all fake. I'm not showing up on September one, Okay, Um.
I think levy On Bell then planned, you know what,
maybe I'll make him miss me a couple of weeks.

(01:28:28):
I'll make him miss me a couple of weeks like
Emmett Smith did years ago, and then I'll show up
because then they're really gonna miss me. I think that
was the plan. And then his teammates ripped him, and
his teammates threw him under the bus, and then Levan
Bell had to kind of figure out what the next
step was. So keep in mind, he's making this stuff

(01:28:49):
up all along as he as he goes. None of
this stuff I think was planned. I didn't think he
foresaw any of this stuff happening. Then. I think he
was ready to come back this week. I think he
was ready to come back this week before the deadline. Otherwise,
why would he make it a point to tell everybody
he was leaving Miami, Like, if you weren't going to
come back, why not just stay in Miami. There's a

(01:29:11):
big difference between Miami and the winter and Pittsburgh and
the winter. Why are you leaving if you're not coming
back to play? Like he was even playing pickup basketball
in a gym in an l A Fitness Like I
don't know why there's an l A Fitness in Pittsburgh,
but that whatever. There's a tanning salon there too, by
the Oakmont where the US Open was there a couple

(01:29:32):
of years ago. I'm not kidding. There's a tanning salon
in Pittsburgh by the damn the US Open course a
couple of years ago, and it was called like l
A Tan or something like that, like Miami Tan. I
just I don't know why I went there, but anyways,
just reminded me of that. But um so labe on Belt,
I don't think he had any of this stuff played.
I think he's kind of making it up as he

(01:29:53):
goes along. I think he wanted to come back September one,
and he kind of switched his mind a little bit
at the end because it didn't really the report came out,
and he didn't want to show that he was showing
giving weakness to them and conceding anything. And then he
wanted to come back a couple of weeks into the season.
Then his teammates ripped him and I can't do that.
Then he wanted to come back before the deadline, and
then uh, you know, he sends out some tweet and

(01:30:14):
he's leaving Miami and all this, and then I think
he got a little bit of a vibe from the team,
you know, maybe we really don't want you here, maybe
we're just not really into all this. And so now
he's got to hold steady and go back to the
well I told you back in January or or February,
whenever it was that I would sit out the whole season.
I threatened it. I told you I would do it.

(01:30:35):
I don't think he actually planned it. I think he's
really kind of making this up as he goes along.
I think he didn't feel to love when he came
back this week, and I think that he's now looking
at it going all right, well, and reportedly he's not
gonna show up at all. I don't think this was
in the cards. I don't think he planned it. I
think he's been winging it at this point. Anybody who's

(01:30:56):
ever done sales, you ever work a sales job, every
to you, at some point or another gets off track
with their pitch and then you just start winging it.
You just start making stuff up. I've done it. I
was in phone sales. I would get off pitch and
they'd be asking me questions about stuff and I didn't
know the answer, and I just prayed that my boss

(01:31:17):
wasn't listening on the other line because I was making
stuff up. So it's this gonna guarantee? Me leads, Oh yeah,
that's no. Absolutely, not like they could tell I was
BS because I just I got off track. I was
making stuff up as I go. I did, like everybody's
been in that situation, whether you're talking to somebody, or
you're talking to a boss, or you're you're trying to

(01:31:40):
figure out a vacation, or you're doing like everybody does
that they get off track, they lose focus, and then
they just start making stuff up as they go along.
You can say you're rolling with the punches bs, you're
ducking punches, and you're figuring out what the hell is happening.
I think that's what leavy On Bell has been doing.
None of this was planned. I think he wanted to

(01:32:00):
come back. I think he did want to play. I
think he wanted September one. I think he wanted to
come back during the first part of the season, but
none of it ended up going the way that he's going,
And I think he's just kind of making it up.
I think he made up a week ago when he
left Miami. There's no reason to leave Miami unless you're
gonna unless you're showing enough to play. Why would you
go back to Pittsburgh if you're not playing. So I

(01:32:23):
just think this is a guy who's scrambling him and
his representatives are trying to figure out the next play.
And if it's him sitting out the full season, they'll
tell you that was in the cards the whole time.
I don't think it was. I think he just had
to scramble to try and figure out what they're doing next.
Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio eight seven seven Ninete on
Fox eight seven seven three six nine. You can also

(01:32:45):
give me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox as we
come to you live here from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio Studios. Also, we have a poll question up at
the Jonas Kocks on Twitter. It is an important poll question.
It is in regards to Iowa Sam, our technical producer.
Here is the latest. If you're just tuning in on
the show. We found out early on in the show

(01:33:08):
that Iowa Sam is leaving to go to Spain. No
big deal, works his ass off, he deserves a vacation.
The problem is he's had it booked or planned for
seven or eight months, and he just now told us
hours before he's leaving. We spend all weekend together, we
do the show together for months years now, and it
just happened to slip his mind that he was going

(01:33:30):
to Europe the next day. Just completely forgot. I just
completely forgot to tell you. So the poll question at
the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. You have less than an
hour to vote at the Jonas Knocks is Iowa Sam
an a hole for not telling us he was leaving
for Spain tomorrow. The options are yes, absolutely, ce or
all of the above right, and the C is not

(01:33:52):
the letter C, it's the uh in Spanish how you
say yes. So these are your options at the Jonas Knocks.
On Twitter, you can take part in our fun poll
question as we try to do as few polls a
year as possible because we're into um, not bad radio,
and that was that usually turns into bad radio, all right?

(01:34:12):
Coming up next here on Fox Sports Radio, though, Uh,
the NFL has punished somebody, and I think they have
punished them for the wrong reasons. Find out who we're
talking about next on Fox Sports Radio Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio Company a live here from the Geico Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Bottom of the hour, which is a

(01:34:37):
radio term for five thirty Eastern time to thirty Pacific
twelve thirty Hawaii. Think Hawaii is two hours behind us? Now,
I think that's how it works with daylight savings ending.
I think Hawaii is two hours whatever. Just look at
your clock nine minutes from now here wherever you are
we are going to be joined by Mike Harmen, Fox

(01:34:57):
Sports Radio's Fantasy Football Inside. Um, he has already walked
into studio, and um, you can tell that's a man
who celebrated a big Northwestern win on Saturday. Um, I
just can't for whatever reason, my I cannot pull up
the schedule on the on the computer here and I

(01:35:18):
had it here somewhere, It's on one of these papers.
What God, it's not. I can't find. Hey, Sam, I
was saying, who did Northwestern beat on Saturday? I don't know? Okay,
watch Northwestern? So I don't either. So I was just
trying to figure out what was going on. All right, Um,

(01:35:40):
so so my Carmen will be here coming up less
than ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.
I was thinking about this, so I'm gonna get to
somebody in the NFL. Um, this doesn't really make a
whole lot of sense, somebody who was punishing it doesn't
really make a whole lot of sense. But I was
thinking about a couple of games this week. So I
did my Knox box and I do it every week

(01:36:01):
to where I'll pick certain bets, I'll take certain teams
or prop bets or standard lines or whatnot. And I've
been nineteen and eleven on the year, so I've been
been pretty good on the year, pretty solid. I didn't
owe in five week there. I don't know what happened.
That's never happened before. That was the equivalent to what
Carolina did on Thursday night against the Steelers. It was off.
I was terrible. You just bury that and you move

(01:36:22):
on um. And so I took the Jags plus three
against the Colts. I've got the Raiders plus ten against
the Chargers at home. I've got the Bears over three
and a half sacks in their game against the Detroit Lions.
I've got the Bills and Jets combined for under two
and a half interceptions. And I've got the Seahawks plus
nine and a half at the Rams. And so those

(01:36:43):
are my Knox locks. I don't feel great about him,
but those are my Knox locks. Two games, actually three
games that I was tempted on taking a look at.
That would have been the next batch. The b sides
of Knox locks this week, if you will. One of
them is at Land at Cleveland, because Atlanta is a
six point favorite on the road at Cleveland. I give

(01:37:07):
Atlanta credit. They've started off the year one and four.
They were they were awful, They had heartbreaking losses, close losses,
they were ravaged by injuries. I give them credit for
getting back to five hundred. But the idea that Atlanta
on the road is almost a touchdown better than the
Cleveland Browns, even with all that Cleveland has gone through.

(01:37:29):
I was leaning towards taking Cleveland just because they were
getting so many points at home, and I don't think
Cleveland is as bad as they've been playing. So it
does feel like similar to some of these other games,
like a recency bias. Here's the other one, New England
at Tennessee. Look, I don't buy Marcus Mariota at all.

(01:37:51):
I'm I have said he is he we are approaching
busts possibly when when it comes to Marcus Mariota for
where he was drafted and he's done and how inconsistent
he's been. I'm not a Marcus Mariota believer at all.
But I think that this is a spot where you've
got New England coming off a big win on Sunday
Night over the Packers. I wonder if this is a

(01:38:12):
potential letdown and if you're betting Tennessee who can play defense,
and Mike Vrabel, who knows that system and knows the
Patriots as well as anybody because he played there for
so long and he played underneath Bill Belichick and he's
familiar with how that offense works. If you're Tennessee and
you're getting almost a touchdown at home, I mean, how

(01:38:33):
do you not consider taking Tennessee there? I mean it
feels like this is a spot or maybe the Patriots
come out a little bit flat, and then the other
one is And I would never bet on this because
I just struggle the idea of putting money behind Andy
Dalton in a big game. But the Saints at the Bengals,
similar spot to the Patriots. You're coming off, you know,

(01:38:54):
one of your better wins of the season, the Saints
beating the Rams at home, emotional, everything going on, and
now you've got to go on the road. You're still
lacking at wide receiver, even though Dez Bryant wasn't gonna play,
it's still been an issue. You've put Cameron Meredith on
the i R. He's done, and so you're the Saints.
You go to Cincinnati and play a Bengals team who's

(01:39:16):
much better at home than they are on the road,
and yet the Bengals are getting six points in some
places at home. To me, those three games feel like
great spots just to take a home underdog if you
were gonna bet him, those would be three of the
games I would have considered taking instead of, you know,

(01:39:37):
some of the other games I took. If I had
an extended version of Knox Locks, if I wanted to
add in a couple of more games getting home underdogs
at this point in the season, especially a couple of
them possibly good teams like a Cincinnati or Tennessee, it
just made made a little bit of sense to me. Uh,
Jonas Stocks here Fox Sports Radio. Do want to let
you know that we are brought to you by Discover Card.

(01:39:58):
We treat you like you treat you. So. Michael Thomas
of the Saints got fine thirty dollars for his cell
phone touchdown celebration where he pulled the phone out from
underneath kind of a throwback, a tip of the cap
to uh Joe Horn from years gone by. Um. But
he got fine for two reasons. One of them is

(01:40:19):
he was using a prop. Okay, can't use a prop.
The second is he was having a mobile device in
the bench area. That's what they call it. You can't
have a mobile device there just in case somebody's recording
or whatnot. But here's what nobody is addressed. What do
you want to bet there was a second phone in

(01:40:41):
the other goal post? There's got to there's there had
to have been two phones because how would he have
known he was going to score on that end? So
if this is a pre planned stunt, don't you have
to cover your tracks? And don't you have to put
a phone in both goal posts? Like it's like there's
no unless he just you know, hey, if I score there,

(01:41:02):
I'll go with this. But no, this was pre planned,
so don't didn't didn't he have to put a phone
underneath both goalposts? So if that's the case, I mean,
everybody's got a camera out there, there's gotta be video
of him planting the phone there before the game on
both ends. So if that's the case and he put
two phones out there, don't you have to consider doubling

(01:41:25):
the fine? I just I don't like nobody's talked about that,
And like they had to have had multiple phones out
there else he wouldn't have known that he was going
to score that end It just doesn't make sense. It
doesn't add up. I like, it's like the guy in
the CFL who pounded the beer when he got to
the end zone, like he knew, all right, I got

(01:41:46):
one person there at that end zone when we score. Regardless,
I'm running to that end zone. I'm grabbing the beer
and I'm gonna rifle back this moose head or this
uh whatever the hell thebat blue or whatever he was
drinking there in Canada. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna rifle this beer because he ran over there out
of his way to go grab the beer and drink
it in the back of the end zone. Michael Thomas

(01:42:08):
went just to that goal post and pulled the phone out.
I'll at you a Hunter Bucks. There was another phone
on the other end. Now, I'm never gonna pay you
the Hunter Bucks if I lose, but just hypothetically speaking,
I'll bet anything there was another phone on the other end.
And if he did only have one phone, and he
did call his shot, and he did score in that
end zone, how do you not give him a discount

(01:42:28):
for calling his shot and picking the end zone out?
So I'm saying either the NFL cuts the fine and
a half to fifteen grand based on the fact that
he called his shot and that he picked the end
zone before the game that he was going to score,
that he put the prop in, or the NFL doubles
the fine and it turns into sixty grand because he

(01:42:48):
had two phones out there in case he scored on
either end zone. Let's how you lay the law down?
All right, Jonas stocks Fox Sports Radio. We have got
Mike harmon Fox Sports Radios fan to see football Insider
joining us next. Huge fantasy implications around the NFL with
some injuries and some scratches. We will get to that
here next on Fox Sports Radio for all the latest

(01:43:10):
though from around the world of sports. Kevin figures. All right, thanks, Jonas.
Will start war college football every team in the top
ten picking up a victory Saturday. Top ranked Alabama shut
out sixteenth rank Mississippi State to a ton of viola
with a touchdown pass before he left late in the
third quarter after getting hit in the knee. Twenty four
and nothing was the final score in that one. Clemson
got two nine five yards passing and two scores from

(01:43:33):
Trevor Lawrence, they would be Boston College on the road
twenty seven to seven. Third ranked Notre Dame got two
two yards rushing from Dexter. Williams also had two scores
on the ground from Dexter. They blew out Florida State
forty two to thirdteen. Michigan and Georgia will blow out victories.
Oklahoma outlast at Oklahoma State forty seven. Cowboys missed a
two point conversion in the final minutes. Online car shopping

(01:44:38):
eight under nine four seven otto. The only hard part
figuring out which way is easier. Kevin, Am I crazy.
He had to have had two phones, right, there had
been one on each in zone just to cover his tracks. Ah,
you have to. You have to unless he had two
completely different celebrations, uh, and one with one from one
end to the one or the other. Yeah, that's true, okay.
And then wouldn't you give him credit? Okay? But if
he called his shot, I think they should cut the
fine and half k I agree, okay, just just for

(01:45:02):
calling a shot. And then if he did double up
the cell phones and he had multiple devices and multiple
parts of the end zone, especially for a team who
had bounty Gate and all that, I think it should
be sixt K. I mean taking a pylon and using
it as a golf club is like, okay, Spur of
the moment, this guy actually thought, no, I'm gonna score today,
and when I do score, everybody's gonna know that I
knew I was going to score. Yeah, I agree, some

(01:45:22):
extra points for creativity. Come on, I agree. Alright, So
well we'll get to the bottom of that. I believe
he had multiple cell phones, so does Kevin figures if
you have the answers, you can let us know. By
the way, you were running out of time. Um to
vote on the poll question. Of all poll questions, Iowa Sam,
our technical producer, sprung it on us on the air
that he's leaving to go to Spain. He's leaving tomorrow.

(01:45:46):
We had no idea It's been planned for months. He
never mentioned anything to us. And so the poll question
is up at the Jonas Knocks. Is Iowa Sam and
a hole for not telling us he was leaving for
Spain tomorrow? Oh, you have multiple options there, go check
it out at the Jonas Knocks. You have twelve minutes
to vote, so get all your votes in. You don't

(01:46:07):
need to post one of those dumb I voted stickers
on Instagram. Just get in their vote. Don't be lazy.
Make it happen so we can get to the bottom
of this is the whether or not our technical producers
in a hole. Uh, speaking of non a holes, Mike
harmon Fox Sports Radio Fantasy Football Insider is with us here, Harmy,
we got disco fantasy baby. Yeah, buddy. Like normally I've

(01:46:27):
called uh names even worse than what you're calling Sam
at the moment. But I have two things. One, we
we both need to go to the offices and say
we need to raise Yeah. I mean if Sam can
afford to go to Spain, there's something wrong with this picture. Uh,
I we you and I can't walk across the street
and get a beer. Uh. And too, I want Michael
Thomas's burner phone. Yeah, the burner footphone. Like Dan Patrick

(01:46:50):
has his man band game and everything. I don't want
a jersey. I want the burner phone. That's what I want. Yeah.
It's like it's like when you get one of those
rare baseball cards that they have a miss smelling of
a name being worth more. I'm telling you the one
he didn't use is gonna end up being worth more
than everything else, like the the old Billy Ripken card. Okay,
everybody's gonna look at um. I remembered so alright, Mike Carmen.

(01:47:14):
By the way, you can watch this this edition of
a Disco Fantasy at Swollen Dome on Twitter at Swollen
Dome on Twitter where you can find Mike Carmen. This
is all being videotapes, so you can you clearly see
that Mike and Iron nude while doing this. Um. All right,
so let's talk about the New Orleans Saints. So here, okay,

(01:47:35):
here are the Saints coming off a big win and
now they go on the road to play Cincinnati Bengals.
Team At this point, with all the issues at wide receiver,
who's an option outside Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara that
you would consider playing when you have an offensive coming
like that? Can you trust anybody on the Saints at
this point? I think as a third wide receiver, if

(01:47:55):
you don't have big time options, you can always look
at Trake Smith. You know, earlier this week, Jayson Smith
and I were breaking this down and you look at
that roster and what Dez Bryant could have been, right
more a tight end, red zone possession kind of guy. However,
they were gonna work it in. They don't have a
wide receiver with more than twelve catches outside of Michael's

(01:48:17):
crazy right, it's Ben Watson, it's Alvin Kamara, and then
you have a couple of guys with twelve catches gains
on the i R. Poor Cam Meredith could never get
that knee rights. But what do you mean Ryan Pastils
an idiot for not signing Cam Meredith but that big,
big contract. Yeah, the guys, guys checked the medicals. They
understand what's going on there. It's not it's it's not personal.

(01:48:38):
It's business as as it always goes to. But Smith's
a guy is starting to come on a little bit.
So if you're gonna go dig a little deeper, you
can go that route. You know, Drew Brees sprays the
field with with his past argus. So, I mean, it's
it's tough to put too much steak into it. But
in a game like today, you're you're talking about, uh

(01:49:00):
a six point road favorite against Cincinnati, a team that
you're not gonna take lightly. That I think it's time
in this part of the season, you've also got to
try to find a number two to step up because
eventually you get the box in one on Thomas and
maybe things don't float quite so easily. Is is Michael Thomas,
And I'm just springing this on you, So I do
I apologize. If I can't do that, then I shouldn't

(01:49:23):
be in the in the chair. Is he the most
efficient wide receiver in fantasy football history? What he's done
this year? Absolutely? Seventy catches on seventy nine. It's absurd
the level of precision with which he and Breeze operate.
And think about the number of double teams. Safety is
coming up over the top. I mean, you're also fitting
into tighter windows, and you are probably with most top

(01:49:44):
receivers just based on the way that that offense is operating.
So I mean, is there anybody that's been like this
fantasy wise from a receiver standpoint? Well, I mean you
look at years certainly, and I think we get it.
Would have to go and look at when you're you're
talking about Aaron Rodgers and his efficiency to his top options,
whether it be Davante Adams, I think you might have had,

(01:50:06):
you know, those kind of years, Greg Jennings, going back
a few years, Jordie Nelson. Now Nelson especially red zone
Like if we if we cut cut the field up
into different chunks, I think Nelson would have probably been
the guy looking at the way those two had such
a mind meld for so many years, which why I
think Aaron Rodgers was kind of cheesed off when he
didn't come back, even if he wasn't the same player.

(01:50:28):
But you look at those kind of options and you're
just looking at I mean, probably go to another year
of Drew Brees, going back to Marcus Colston back in
the day as well. He is Mike Carmen, Fox Sports
Radio's Fantasy football insider, joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
You can hear him and Dan Buyer every Sunday morning
nine to eleven a m. Eastern time Here on FS
are Leonard four Nets back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. What

(01:50:51):
does that do to that offense? And who's a who's
a potential play here as Jacksonville goes on the road
to take on Indianapolis playing a better in Indianapolis defense.
Indie one of those teams that hang a star on
if you're looking for a desperation UH flyer and streaming
defense for this week, especially because their offenses come around
the offensive line playing so well. But we look at

(01:51:13):
Leonard four Net, I've got him as a mid number
two for this week. I can't count on him to
come back and take a full workload. This is one
of those they because they've already done it once, right,
they already brought him back too soon once. How do
I know they're not panicking and doing that again? And
we're hoping that they find that. You know that that
hammy holds up for a full week because obviously Blake
Bortles and company not exactly pulling the trigger with great efficiency.

(01:51:35):
The defense has sprung a leak as well. But you
you look at the opportunity. Yeldon goes down to a
flex play because we're not sure what the workload is.
D D. Westbrook Worth a little bit of a flyer
as the third wide receiver. But for Jacksonville, this is
do or die, right, this is this is Duval and
all those let's yell a bunch. This is the put
up or shut up against Andrew Luck and a surgeon

(01:51:56):
Colts team. Sony Michelle expected back for the New England
patre It's how does that impact your plays on that offense?
Because let's let's just call it what it is. It's
not like Brady has been lighting up the league. James
White's your m v P. I mean, look at these
We talked about the efficiency of Michael Thomas. You look
at James White's men to them out of the backfail
as the receiver, he's the better play this week against Tennessee.

(01:52:18):
Dan lewis a bit of a sleeper tag on the
other side. I heard you talking about the Titans. He
they've integrated him into the past game far more frequently
the last couple of weeks. So he's a guy that
you probably push up into a low end number two
play for Sony Michelle. Same thing. You want to get
him back in. Uh So he's a back end to
this week with obviously tremendous upside because if he is

(01:52:38):
truly near to a percent, then yeah, flip the script,
run the ball and then take your shots down field
with Josh Gordon, who's really pushing week and week, week
after week to become that much better. But for Tom Brady, yeah,
last week was not the excellence of efficiency. But you
just saw a better game plan and more creativity out
of the Patriots than I think we've seen in a while.

(01:52:59):
All Right, My Karmen is Ninja time Carmen Fox Sports
Radios Fantasy Football insider. Every week he will throw out
to you one or two ninja plays, some sleepers under
the radar guys that could have a potential big impact
week this week that you may not expect. So I'm
gonna give you a couple of positions here, right, Let's
go quarterback, and let's stick with wide receiver. A ninja

(01:53:24):
play quarterback and wide receiver, guys that may be available
in many leagues that you could see having an impact
this week. And Week ten, Baker mayfield at home against
those Atlanta leaky You know they rose up the show.
But you saw Atlanta last week, right they Alex Smith
looked like a great spot and they didn't bother to
show up. They didn't stop the run. They couldn't run

(01:53:45):
the ball. Look like they threw up the white flag.
I did like the Josh Norman play on on Julio Jones.
Like I was watching my daughter's soccer game yesterday and
a kid had a breakaway, like just go Josh Norman,
And like one guy laughed because he remembered the play
from it was so and I was not making fai man,
not making a lot of friends at the kids soccer game.

(01:54:05):
Uh the other you know, you want to roll the dice,
uh and and get get a little bit crazy. Maybe
maybe you're deep, deep down into Nick Molin's Oh I
was on Monday Night. I was hoping you were gonna
say Eli Manning like I want to see Eli Manning
rise out of the coffin like the undertaker on Monday
Night football. I do have Eli ranked a couple of

(01:54:26):
ye's just just from I mean, look at Odell Beckham Jr.
This week saying all the right things. We gotta win
one because it's a Pat Fitzgerald nor Qust thing, right,
go want to know and we don't want to know.
Every day, try to find a win, try to find
some positivity because, let's face it, out here in Southern California,
it's one of the worst weeks we've all sperienced between
the the shootings and the fires, and I know you've

(01:54:47):
been affected and a lot of our friends and family.
I'm watching them post video of rubble like you know,
you go one in who oh and try to find
something for Eli Manning. What you got eight games left?
Go out and wing it. Yeah, that's the to your run.
All right, let's go to the rest wide receiver. Now
we got teams on by and wide receivers are important

(01:55:08):
flex plays. A lot of the good top running backs
are all gone, so these are important add ons that
you can get grabbed late before a game on Sunday.
Who we got coming out of bye week. Let's go
for a big play with Christian Kirk of your Arizona
Cardinals going on the road at Kansas City. There's one
if the game script is works as we expect to do.
Because Arizona is no good. Kansas City's blowing him out,

(01:55:29):
which means you're just pinging winging the ball around. Uh
the other Uh. It's not as much of a flyer,
but still available in a lot of leagues because the
targets so spread out. Tyrell Williams of your Los Angeles Chargers,
who's a guy who's got the most explosive plays going
in the league. You got him, You've got Mike Williams
is fourth Philip Rivers, still slinging the ball around. It

(01:55:51):
might look underhanded, it might look kind of crazy, but
he's still getting it done. There is Mike Carmen, Fox
Sports Radio Fantasy football insider. Get him on Twitter at
