Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have had better stop from beginning.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Jonas Knocks, you thought you knew me, You didn't know
a thing about me. He's crazier than a else. Wrecked
that guy, Jonas Knocks, you heard me.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
The Brands of Darkness is lighting up your speakers to
establish an alibi for the day. No Live from the
Fox Sports Radio studios, here's Jonas Knox. Y.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Okay, I'll import of this world. You know, this really

(00:48):
was the perfect situation, the perfect scenario for a lot
of people who got up today not feeling their best.
I'll explain why it applies to the holidays, and the
world of college football will get into that for you.
Coming up here in just a couple of moments from now,
Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this
show on the iHeartRadio app. You know, you can obviously

(01:08):
find us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country.
If you're listening to the podcast, we appreciate you as well,
and we will be taking you on a little journey here,
a two hour extravaganza here on this Saturday morning into
the afternoon into the evening, depending on how you're listening
and taking in this program. Now one thing that I

(01:29):
have noticed, and you've noticed this too, is that there
are certain things that are ever present during the holidays. Right,
So for example, annoying kids. They're everywhere. They're obnoxious. They're
doing that lame ass six seven thing that just it's odd,

(01:54):
like it doesn't make any sense. I don't know where
it came from. But it's not funny, it's not clever,
but they're doing it everywhere. Sec all that, right. The
other thing you see are the losers who have antlers
coming out of their car. Like if you're one of
those people driving around and out with those, please keep
the show on. We need it, but it is kind
of disgusting. It's revolting. Or you know, the new one

(02:16):
is they've got l feet hanging out of the back trunk.
It's just dumb, Like if you're gonna do it, go
all the way and get some truck nuts, like let
those hang off the back, like literally have some balls.
But the point is like there's a lot of things
that are ever present during the holidays. So you got
all that, you know what else is ever present? Booze,

(02:39):
It's everywhere, I mean, and people will dress it up,
even the stuff that's not good eggnog glog or whatever
it's called. Again, they'll throw you know, bourbon or brandy
or whiskey or rum or whatever it is. Inside there's
there's holiday beers and then there it's everywhere. And so
because of that, there's a lot of people that got
probably got a little bit banged up last night, your

(03:01):
last Friday night before actual Christmas, your last night out,
and so probably a lot of holiday parties, company parties,
you know where people can get you know, sloppy and
slutty and everything in between and not be judged because
we're outside of the office. There's all that stuff going on.
So you know what you needed, You needed a little
hair of the dog when you woke up this morning,

(03:23):
and you got it. And you know what, it's called
Miami and Texas A and M That's what you got.
Because this game makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, you've
got missed kicks, special team whiffs, bad plays, I mean,

(03:44):
everything you could possibly want from a college football game.
Following whatever it is you did on the final Friday
night before the actual holiday. They have delivered scoreless at
the half. Miami's got the ball they're driving in the
third quarter. Would anybody be surprised if they threw a
pick six here, would anybody be shocked? Probably not. And

(04:08):
if you're listening in the podcast right now, you know
how this ends, and based on what we saw, probably
won't end well. And then if they do score touchdown here,
probably gonna miss the extra point. It's just it's given
you everything you could possibly want. But it's the perfect
hair of the dog game because it doesn't make any sense.
Nobody knows what the hell's going on. These were two

(04:32):
teams that an entire fan base and Notre Dame is
looking at going f you guys, we'd beat poaching both
of you right now. He caught us early, we had
to go on the road and one there was an
awful holding call that was missed. On the other like, like,
let's be honest here, they probably would. So Miami and
Texas A and m were like, you know what, we're

(04:52):
gonna push back on all the hate. We're gonna push
back on all the naysayers. There's a lot of people
waking up with iboogers the side of seven forty sevens
in their eye. They've got, you know, bad breath. Everything
that came with whatever they did last night and Miami
and Texas A and m roll out this. It's perfect

(05:14):
and it goes along with what I think is the
most underreported part of the college football playoff, the home games.
You can say whatever you want about this team deserves
to get in and that team deserves to get in,
and you can talk about the college you know, the
NCAA Tournament and college basketball and March Madness. Look, man,

(05:39):
if we're being fair about March Madness, it's probably not fair.
There are no home games. You're placed in a region.
We've talked about that on the show for years now.
There really is no advantage, and so what did college
football do. We're not gonna let sixty four teams in
as of yet. By the way, if we ever get
to the point to where college football lets sixty four

(06:00):
teams in, I'm out. I'm letting you know that right now.
I'm gone, like you will not hear from me. I
don't want to talk about it. I don't want to
watch it. It's are you super watches? By the way,
congratulations of Miami Hurricanes. Just kick the field goal so
we have a three to nothing score. As you continue
to sift your way through the vomit and fast food

(06:21):
that he blew through last night in this hair of
the Dog college football game. But back to the point,
the home playoff games that you get in the first
round is the best part about all this because the
atmosphere is palpable. There are certain events that you watch
from afar and you feel like you're there. They call

(06:42):
it a big fight, feel like it just feels different.
And if you've watched last year, whether it was Indiana
going to South Bend, whether it was SMU going to
State College wherever. Last night, Norman, Oklahoma, by the way,
reached out to Chris Plank Fox Sports Radio. Friend does

(07:03):
a show with Arnie Spaniard. God bless his soul has
to sit through that every single Sunday night. Reached out
to Chris Plank. He said, hey man, sorry about your sooners.
How was the atmosphere last night? Never responded, so maybe
he's dealing with a hangover. But the point is that
is the best part about this whole thing. We can
bitch and moan about who got in and who didn't.

(07:23):
We can bitch and moan about who should be seated
where and who didn't. We could bitch and moan about
which team shouldn't even be part of the conversation because
they're a JMU and they're not one of the big
notable friend whatever you want to talk about. One thing
we can all agree on. The home playoff game element
to this is phenomenal. You can sense it. You can

(07:45):
see that it's a different level than what a regular
season game is. And college football's atmosphere just going to
a game has always been better than the NFL, and
it always will be. But the fact that you're getting
these games in a playoff atmosphere in real time is

(08:07):
what I think separates this from the NCAA tournament. Like
the NCAA tournament, it's fun. We all do it. We
can't wait for it. You know, you get your brackets,
you can pick whatever team and somebody who knows nothing
about it ends up winning the whole thing. All that's awesome,
but it doesn't compare to this. And so the one

(08:28):
thing college football got right when it came to the
college football Playoff and the expansion of the college football
Playoff is the home game. Because if you go to
a neutral site, it's split. There's the pageantry, there's all
that stuff, But man, have you ever been to a
Bowl game before. I've been to several. They're okay, Like

(08:48):
they're just okay, Like the crowd split. Maybe one crowd
doesn't even want to show up. And nowadays, you know,
maybe some people you know don't even want to partake
in it. Some people aren't even interested in being a
part of it. They're opting out, they're entering the portal,
they're not. Coaches are bailing, you know, Coaches are you know,
drinking in the office, you know, having a relationship with

(09:09):
an undergrad. But again, there's different things going on here.
You know, may may or may not be like you know,
life threatened. You know, like, oh that's suff But again
those are that's coaches business. That's not my business. That's
not your business. But this and the way it's set
up is the best part about this whole thing. So
enjoy while you got it, work through whatever it is
you're feeling like based on what you did last night,

(09:30):
and understand that while some of these matchups on paper
aren't the best, the atmosphere there is at the Jonas
Knocks on X by the way, you can get us
on Instagram as well too. At Jonas Knock Show is
where you can find us. We will be posting the
insulting tweets that are sent in throughout the course of
the show. A lot of people think, hey, during the
holiday season, only a couple of shows left in this

(09:53):
calendar year, are people going to start being nicer. They're not.
That is not going to happen. People get pissed off,
people get fired up, they throw out insults. All of
that is going to be yours here on this extravaganz
of a radio show we do every single Saturday. We
are going to have the usuals coming up later on.
We've got our TGFG Game of the Week later on
this hour. That is where we identify the worst game

(10:16):
on the NFL slate, because if it wasn't for gambling,
you wouldn't be watching that game. We've got another edition
of Do You Care with brutal honesty about stories you've
been force fed throughout the course of the week. That's
later on this hour, and then listen, we'll get to
Knoxlocks to close up the show. Because I told you
last week. I didn't have a good feeling about the
picks last week. I told you last week, and I

(10:36):
made the mistake of trusting one division in the NFL
one division that has done nothing but let me down
all year. I made the mistake. That's on me. But
all of that is yours here on this program. As again,
you listen on the podcast, you find us live on
the iHeart app, or you listen on hundreds of affiliates,
and if you do up next, we got something for you.

(10:58):
There's a team in the NFL that is proof that
you've got to enjoy the ride while you on it
because guess what, it comes to a crashing end eventually,
and it did this year. Find out which team that is.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Coming up, we'll call it a little over ten minutes
from now, we are going to hand out our award
here on the show. That'll be yours right here on FSR,
because you know what, man like, there's some awful teams
in the league that need a little bit of love
during the holidays, So that will be yours here again
as we give that to you. Coming up here a
little over ten minutes from now. By the way, quick

(12:23):
update in real time, the Miami Hurricanes have a three
to nothing lead over Texas A and M. That game
is about halfway through the third quarter. And if you're wondering,
you know, did Miami bang in another field goal following
that interception? Absolutely not. They missed it again. So there's that.

(12:45):
That'll continue with the hair of the Dog game here
the Dog Action kick off your Saturday in the world
of college football and the college football playoffs. So that's
fun for everybody. Let's talk about something that is not
fun for everybody, and it's what's happening to the Kansas
City Chiefs. They are done, they are out of the playoffs.
First have it about a decade. But don't worry. Travis

(13:08):
Kelsey does plan on playing the final three games of
this season that will end with no playoff appearance. But Travis,
why are you going to do that?

Speaker 5 (13:19):
I think the integrity of being a man about your
work and and and giving everybody your you're devoted attention
and you know, your sense of urgency to to be
at your best for them. I think that's that's just
how you need to go about work, whether or not
you're in the race or not, you know. And I

(13:39):
think that's that's the mentality going into these last three games,
is you know, we know what kind of ends after
that New Year's game or the game right after New
Year's in January, and but I'm gonna make sure these
guys know that I'm out there giving them everything I got.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
There's two parts of this conversation that I love, all right.
One is the notion or the like there was any
question or doubt that Travis Kelsho was gonna play these
final three games, like you know, and I don't know
if this is because we're so used to the NBA
and superstars just deciding not to play. Why wouldn't Travis
Kelsey play these final three games of the year. Why

(14:19):
Patrick Mahomes didn't die, all right, Like they didn't you
know that nothing tragic happened and he passed away on
the field. He didn't die. It's not like you know,
there was a chalk outline or a body bag, and
you know, Travis Kelsey is sitting there, you know, holding

(14:40):
Patrick Mahomes' toe tags around his neck and saying, man,
you know, uh, we gather here, like, what are we
talking about here? Why wouldn't he play? Of course he's
gonna play. There's three games left in the season. He's
healthy enough to play, and by the way, probably the
last three games of his career. So why is it
a story? Why is news on ESPN Travis Kelce plans

(15:02):
on playing the final three games for the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Of course he would. This isn't the NBA. Of course
he's gonna play. Now, there are situations around the NFL
in which guys just aren't gonna be playing. Garrett Wilson,
he's not playing for the Jets the remainder of the year.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Do you want to know why, A he's injured and
two they're awful. And you might even flip those two
Jaden Daniels not playing the rest of the year, why
not healthy enough? And see previous they're terrible. So like this,
But Travis Kelsey plans on playing. Of course he does.

(15:40):
Of course, yes, of course he's gonna play. It's the NFL,
it's not the NBA. They're not playing eighty two games.
They're playing seventeen, and he's got three left more than
likely in his career. Dude, of course he's gonna get
out there and play. You don't think he really. You
can say whatever you want about Travis Kelcey and the
Taylor Swift stuff and podcast and all the one thing

(16:02):
you know about him, he understands and recognizes where he's at,
like he's present in the moment. He realizes, I don't
know a lot of these left, so of course I'm
going to go out there and play. I'm healthy enough
to do so. So there's that side of it. Here's
the other thing. Kansas City Chiefs fans are now going
to live in the reality that ninety five percent of

(16:25):
fan bases and teams have lived in their entire life.
If we can all sit here and acknowledge the fact
that Travis Kelce two day is a generational talent and
a first ballot Hall of Famer, then we can also
say that's because we know what it looks like when
somebody's not those things, like the Kansas City Chiefs have

(16:49):
been spoiled for a long time now. It's not to
the level or degree of the Green Bay Packers, who
just that's what they do, or the Pittsburgh Steelers when
it comes to head coaches, that's just what they do.
They hire good head coaches, they don't lose, So it
is what it is. The Packers just find good quarterbacks.
It is what it is. Three plus decades of never

(17:12):
having to worry about whether or not you got it
right at the quarterback position must be nice for the
rest of us. Kind of still trying to figure it out.
And the Chiefs fans are going to find out in
the final games of this season. Oh, that's what it
looks like. And I'm not saying that you took Patrick
Mahomes for granted, because I don't think that's the case.

(17:32):
I don't know how you could, but it is sort
of a reminder of how good. You have had it.
And yes, the offense has not looked the same in
the past couple of years, but it is nice to
know that with one guy at quarterback. You know, at
the very least up until this year, you're getting to
an AFC title game, and you're going to lose in
overtime every single year, every single year, like you were

(17:58):
getting to an AFC tie game. And if you do lose,
don't worry about it. It's going to be overtime. That's
all they know. So, yeah, Travis Kelce is going to
play these final three games. That should not be surprising
to anybody. Of Course he's going to play. He's healthy
enough to do so. And this isn't the NBA. Of

(18:21):
course he's going to play. And yes, the Kansas City
Chiefs and their fan base is going to realize. Oh
so that's what it looks like on the other side,
and that's why this whole conversation about Trav you know,
Patrick Mahomes returning from injury, and we we're targeting week
one and we're dude, take your time, like, let's let's

(18:42):
not play any games with this. Let's not mess around.
There's already been some you know, weird reporting on the story.
Like one minute, it's just it's an ACL and and
there's nothing else, and then you find out no, no, no,
it's the LCL two and it's a little bit more
complex than that. And then it's like, well, he's gonna
have surgery, but it's gonna you know, he just went
to Dallas to get a second opinion. You don't have

(19:02):
surgery schedule later on this week. And then you find
out no, as a matter of fact, he had surgery
that night, and like all this conversation about when he
can return and when, dude, if it means starting next year,
and you put him on you know, the pup list
for four games whatever, like the four games to start
next year, the week one opener, like that should not

(19:23):
even be part of the conversation right now. Just get
that guy healthy, Get that guy healthy, and be one
hundred percent sure that he's going to be okay, because,
as you're about to find out over the next three
games a shockingly, Travis Kelsey's gonna play in, you're gonna
find out how the other side lives. Don't mess around

(19:44):
with anything that might hamper his future. Take your time
so you don't have to live like the rest of
us have lived for the remainder of whatever. Patrick Mahomes's
contract is with the chiefs at the Jonas Knocks on
X at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram. And by the way,

We are going to hand out an award on this show.
It's our TGFG Game of the Week. That'll be yours
right here on FSR. But for all the latest ladies
and gentlemen, let them slide down your chimney and deliver
you the goods. The one the only.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Old Isaac Loncron speak. What's on bilo Speaking of delivering
the goods. I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly
thank you for your most generous Christmas present the other day, all.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
The dollartry gift card. You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
It was more substantial than that, mister Modis. So that
was greatly appreciated. What's not greatly appreciated the action on
the field in this first round college football playoff game,
with ten seed Miami holding a whopping three to nothing
lead over seven seed Texas A and M with three
point thirty three remainting in the third quarter. In the
first half, Texas A and M had a twenty two

(21:22):
yard field goal attempt partially blocked. Miami, meanwhile, has missed
three out of four field goals, including a short time
ago when they missed a thirty yard field goal off
the left upright. But who cares that there's been no
action on the field, because that has been more than
made up for by the action off the field. Here

(21:43):
is what has happened at the stadium today. All this
is all true. I haven't made any of it up.
This is all courtesy of the Texas A and M
campus police. You're ready, Jonas, I'm ready. A minor was
ejected from the stadium a short time ago after being
caught with the following two Saint Arnold's lawnmowers, one michelob Ultra,

(22:05):
a nicotine vape, and a pack of Marlborough one hundreds.
Here for his reaction is our Fox Sports Radio Consciousness
Expanding Material insider Jonas Knox Jonas.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Ald On, second, you said Saint Arnold's lawnmarer, and I
was like that, First of all, I can't even operate
one lawnmower let alone too, so that's a drink. I
had no idea. What do you mean he had no idea?
I didn't know how did that know? This a Colt
style blonde. I'm seeing Saint Arnold here. I'm assuming that's

(22:38):
a local. It's a German beer. I'm assuming that's a local. Yeah,
it's in Houston. I mean, you know, what, are we
all right? So let me ask you a question. Was
he just drinking it out in the open or did
he try and sneak it in and and they just
you know, ended up popping him for that and then
he got kicked out, Like how did the how did
the whole operation go?

Speaker 4 (22:59):
There?

Speaker 1 (22:59):
For law enforcement, it just said that he was caught
with these items, but didn't specify how he was transporting
them because earlier they reported that a fan was an
underage fan was kicked out for possessing two corps lights
in the front pocket of their overalls. So perhaps he
was just trying to ham handedly carry all these various items.

(23:23):
So he was an easy target to be spotted. I mean,
like Jesus because a cores light. Because he's underage. My
son's four, he has like two or three a week.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Like, what are we talking?

Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's cores light. There's more water than booze in that.
You know what about here?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
You're a Hall of Fame parent. By the way, that
he's not driving, he doesn't have a license. That's exactly
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's that's why we have all the play dates at
your house elsewhere on the north level two concourse a
month unders for all the English they speak, what what is.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
It with you?

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I mean, this is say a sore spot for some reason.
I'm just telling Look at I told LeVar this on
on Friday.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I told LaVar. I was like, hey, man, like, you
don't know my world, don't He's what do you mean?
I was like, we go to the in laws house
and there's one other person that speaks English and it's
my son and he's four, so.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
You should be you should be proud of that. It's
it's it's a multi lingual household. Now on the north
level two concourse, a separate miner attempted to buy incidentally
two cores lights using a fake Georgia driver's license in
a Texas Miami game.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Your reaction, Well, he probably was banking on them not
recognizing flaws and a Georgia license because it's from another state,
which is you know, and so the fact that they
did do their due diligence and kick somebody out, Like
I could tell you this if they weren't hard up
for fans, Like, if they were hard up for fans,

(24:53):
they'd let everybody in because it's like, you know.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
What, right, yeah, yeah, Like he's underage, but that's fine,
we'll look the other as long as he has I've
heard from people I don't want.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
To say who I've heard this from, but a lot
of bar owners are okay with somebody who's younger being
in the place and having a couple of lid liquors
if it's so long as as long as you've got
an ID, and they can say what they had an
ID didn't. We didn't recognize that it was fake. So
the fact that you know this shows you that the

(25:23):
fan base in Texas A and M and the people
going to these games are healthy enough that they can
push back against underage kids bringing in, you know, Saint
Arnold's lawnmowers.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
You cannot get this sort of college football analysis anywhere else.
And other minor Jonas was sighted and ejected for having
seven fireball shooters in their pockets.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Your reaction, Okay, well, now I can guarantee you I
know where he got those from Georgia, so well probably,
but fireball shooters. They make a a candy cane fire
airball shooter in which so it's a plastic candy cane
and they put little shooters in the candy cane, and

(26:06):
it's a gift you give to like whatever whoever your
drunk friends are. I brought it speaking of the in
laws to their white Elephant party a couple of years ago.
Nobody wanted it, literally like nobody wanted it. By the way,
I even tried the lions. It was tequila. Nobody wanted it. No,
I know exactly where you got those.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
From Yeah, I'm looking it up right now, and you
can get this down the street for whopping nine dollars
and forty nine cents.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
So I am a great Martin.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm less impressed that that got that person kicked out
of a college football playoff game. Our final item, Jonas
Kelly Kenny Dillingham designed to do five year contract to
Romain as the head coach at Arizona State. Of course,
he'd been rumored as a candidate for the Michigan job
and Jonas just moments ago, Dillingham was asked what it's
going to take for Arizona State to become an elite

(26:51):
college football program. Here was his answer, again, there's just
moments ago courtesy of Fox ten in Phoenix, listened closely.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
We had to find one of these rich people in
this city to step up and stroke a check, and
I'll do everything I can to make you the most
famous person in the city. Right That's really what we need.
We need one person. We live in Phoenix, Arizona. You're
telling me there's not one person who can stroke a
twenty million dollar check right now. There is somebody out
here who can. There's somebody out there that's gonna listen
to this. That's gonna get afforded it if you know

(27:20):
somebody who can do it, Forward this message to somebody.
Somebody can step up and completely take this place from
the direction that's going.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's a holy cow.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
So in particular, Jonas, I want to know your thoughts
on what he just said, But in particular the usage
of the phrase quote stroke a twenty million dollar check unquote.
I've never heard it put that way before the writing
of a check as stroking a check back to you,
I mean underutilized.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
To be honest with you, that that's an underutilized term.
I think we should bring that back. You know, there's
a lot of throwback terms. It should be brought like
when people talk about fights, you know, Donnie Brooke, you
know that's an old one man scuffle. You know, like
that that's you know, that's set. Yeah, yeah, like all
that's like, that's you know, all that stuff is fun.

(28:06):
And also I like the fact that we're at a
place in college football where you can just blatantly come
out in the open and just beg for money like this,
Like remember Blue Chips. You want to talk about a
movie that was ahead of its time, Blue Chips and
JFK were telling the truth. Okay, they were telling the truth,
and whoever made Blue Chips and Oliver Stone deserve a

(28:27):
lot of apologies that should be handed out to them.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well what about the program?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
I mean, listen, you know I have to have maybe
seen the real life Joe Caine in person, and and
I can't tell you this. You know, how he had
an issue with drinking in the movie before he got sober.
I would say it was a little more substantial than
just an issue. But okay, I mean, I don't want
to character assassinate anybody, but I can I can confirm,
you know, at least when I saw him, a guy

(28:54):
like to bend the elbow a little bit, all right,
he liked to bend By the way, you know, my
underrated favorite part.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Of the program, yeah who by the way, people Forget
You was in that movie Thank You exactly.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
One of my favorite part of that movie is not
when the two guys spit in each other's mouth. That's disgusting,
but it's when now, thank you for stopping the music
right when I said that too unintentional, But when he's
in the bar and he's having a drink. I think
with omar apps. I think there's I think that's who
he was with. And uh, some guy walks up because
he sees his girlfriend looking at Joe Caine. And the

(29:29):
guy walks up and he goes, hey, man, what's your problem?
He goes, you think my girl's got the hots for you?
And Joe K. Joe Caine looks at him and goes,
I don't know, probably it's such a douche move. And
then he gets in a fight, you know, he gets
arrested and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
But but yeah, I mean, I think those those three movies,
the program JFK, Blue Chips, we're all telling the truth.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And a lot of people owe him an apology.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
You're you're you're wrong about JFK. But other than that,
life imitating not to you, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Some would disagree there, Isaac, And I'm one of them,
all right. So if you're wondering, man, Isaac sure sure
sound a little spicy on that, you want to know why?
It's because he's the Louisiana Hot Sauce above date anchors
and Louisiana Hot Sauce is the perfect balance of Pepper's
vinegar and salt wings, nachos burgers hit any tailgate food
with the bold, handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana Hot Sauce.

(30:23):
That's Louisiana Hot. Buy you some. We are going to
have another edition of Duk coming up here next on
the program. But right now, it's time to hand out
an award. It is time for our t G f
G Game of the Week in Week sixteen of the NFL,
and the award goes too Yes it Saints, Oh baby,

(30:48):
who else could it be? I mean, let's be honest here.
You could look through the slate of games and say, well,
that's a bad team facing a bad team. I get it,
the Bengals and Dolphins, but you know what, Joe Burrow's there.
You know, maybe he's depressed, maybe he's not depressed. Two
has been binged their storylines there. You can look at
the Vikings and the Giants, but you're just never quite
sure whether or not JJ McCarthy's going to piss off

(31:09):
his coach, or whether or not Jackson Dart's even gonna
be able to finish the game. You've got all sorts
of things to choose from. You could say the Falcons
and the Cardinals if you wanted to but you know what,
Brady Quinn's going to be on that call. So that's
why I'm going to watch it. But if you just
look at what we've got going down in New Orleans,
in which tickets you can find right out of this

(31:29):
game for as low as thirteen dollars, the Jets and
the Saints are the perfect stocking stuffer of sewage. In
Week sixteen of the NFL. You got Aaron Glenn going
back to his old stomping grounds, except nothing looks the same.
You've got Justin Field's not even sure what's happening next
year or even how to finish up this year. The

(31:51):
New Orleans Saints have won a couple of games some way, somehow,
but none of that cures us of the fact that
these are two bad football teams and they are going
to be featured in New Orleans in front of probably
what should be a half full stadium, but know in
that place you'll probably fill it up and put brown
paper bags on their head. To congratulations to the Jets

(32:11):
and Saints for winning the award in Week sixteen, because
you know what, if not for gambling, who's watching that crap?
All right? So up next here on Fox Sports Radio,
we are going to tell you the brutal truth about
several stories in the world of sports. It's another edition
of do UK right here on FSR Jonas Knox Fox
Sports Radio. Coming up top of next hour a little

(32:32):
over fifteen minutes from now, we are going to tell
you about a team in the National Football League that
is giving you life lessons, life lessons as a fan
that will be yours here again a little over fifteen
minutes from now. If you're listening to us live here
on the iHeartRadio app or on hundreds of our affiliates,
a quick update on the game of the day right

(32:52):
now in the world of college football. It's a playoff game,
and boy oh boy, the offense is just thriving right now.
Miami leeds Texas A and M with ten thirty eight
to go in the fourth quarter. So that is your
quick update there as people try and figure out just
what the hell they are taking part in. Wow, start
their Saturday of football action, all right. So there is

(33:14):
all that you can get us on x at d
Jonas Knox or you can follow us along on the
Instagram account as well too at Jonas Knox Show. Any
of the insulting tweets that are set in We will
post in the IG stories of that account, but right
now it is time for this.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
There are so many stories in the world of sports,
and most of them are a complete waste of time.
Dmzer reports, Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big
stories from the last week. But Jonas, the real question
is do you care?

Speaker 2 (33:45):
And for that we turn it over to our executive producer,
the one and only Bo Benson, to find out what
the hell people have been talking about. Bo Jonas.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
The NBA is looking to restrict what sports books can
offer when betting on their games. This according to a
memo sent out across league. They also may address tanking
in the NBA, Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Not really, No, I'm sorry, I don't care. And by
the NBA, like just be happy anybody's watching your games
at all, Like that's it. And this is why I
defended Terry Rogier, who I think is just a stand
up guy and also a man of the people, and somebody,
you know, I probably have seen it in a sports book,
but like this, like Terry Rogier, like, if we're being honest,

(34:27):
you know, the guy who flagged was flagged for all
these bets, and I talked about it on the show, which,
by the way, I was way ahead of that story,
way ahead of it. Told you it wasn't going anywhere
anytime soon. We talked about it during the summer. I
told you it was going to be a problem. But
I actually defended that guy because it was like a
Pelican's Hornets game and it was a Thursday night, and

(34:48):
so the guy ended up winning like thirteen grand off
the game because he was betting on the prop bets
that Terry Rogier was involved in. It's like, dude, that's
the most anybody's ever cared about the Pelicans and Hornets,
and especially those two combined. So what are we bitching about? Listen,
NBA can try and figure out whatever fix needs to
be made. Just be happy anybody's paying attention.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
Next, Rams head coach Sean McVeigh hinted that he may
look to get the rules changed that allowed the Seahawks
to score on that two point conversion that was reviewed
for twenty seven minutes on Thursday night. Jonas, do you care? No,
I don't like, I don't care a Sean, I'm with you, man.
It took way too long for them to get the
call right. But they got the call right.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Like, I know, you don't want to hear that, and
I know that you know, but you also probably don't
want to hear the fact that your kicker, who hadn't
missed a kick all year, missed one. You also don't
want to hear the fact that your defense, which was
looking great early in the game, completely melted down in
the final six minutes of regulation in overtime. But whatever, Listen,
if you want to go and bitch and moan about it,

(35:50):
do what you gotta do next.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
The Tennessee Titans reportedly view Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy
is a serious candidate for their head coaching position. Jonas,
do you care?

Speaker 2 (36:00):
I do, because I will say this history has been
a little kinder to Matt Naggy. Then I think people
want to acknowledge. You can say whatever you want about him.
As head coach of the Bears, he got that team
and that franchise to the playoffs twice. I know the
last year was a mess, and the missfield goal and
the double doink and all that stuff in his handling
of it was not ideal, but he did get that

(36:22):
team to the postseason twice.

Speaker 7 (36:23):
Next, Lions wide receiver I'm in Ross Saint Brown said
that officials told his position coach to put a stop
to the team's booger picking celebration and their game against
the Rams. Jonas, do you care?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, what's the problem about they fake pick their nose
and throw boogers?

Speaker 2 (36:40):
What do you want? So? What can you do? You
can't fake pick your nose and roll your boogers? What
if you just fake pick your nose but don't flick
your boogers like they don't have a tissue on him?
What do you want to do with them? Just like
wipe them on their shirt and walk around with snot
brail like I mean, I don't understand what the problem is.
And furthermore, if you can't do that, you can't do
a throat last gesture. You can't do a fake gun like.

(37:03):
What can you do? Is a fake whoopy cushion? Allowed?
Are you allowed to do that? Let's go live to her.
I have a thought on everything, Lions insider Chris prophefor
the latest Chris, I.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
Don't have it in front of me, Jonas, but I'm
going to imagine the Lions are the team with the
most problems between refs and celebrations.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Because there's this, there's something else.

Speaker 8 (37:20):
I'm and Rod got for, Jamison Williams got fine for
like bear hugging the goalpost.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Like it's just there's things you should care about, and
then there's things you shouldn't and this is the one
the NFL shouldn't care about.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
Next, the Philadelphia Flyers suspended play by play man Tim
Saunders for an inappropriate remark he made while on a
hot Mike Jonas, before I ask you if you care,
I'm gonna ask you, would you like to hear what
he said?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I would let me hear it. And they're playing from
behind now, they're gonna take the TV time out. We'll
take it as well.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Seven gone in the third it's three two Buffalo and
the Philadelphia Flyers broadcast network.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Pop it up up while you're done?

Speaker 3 (38:07):
There?

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Would your mind me? Uh?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
He is?

Speaker 7 (38:12):
He is told after he says that that they're on
a hot mic, and he laughs and says, no, we're not.
You're kidding, right, And then there's just silence. So, Jonas,
do you care about this?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I do, because I must apologize and I want to
apologize to our listeners. Who've been listening to this show
for a long time. Because I had no idea that
Isaac Longcron was the Flyers broadcaster, Like I had no idea,
Like if I would have known that, I mean, you know,
we could have had like real hockey conversations. So I
had no idea that he was the voice of the Flyers.

(38:41):
You're Isaac, I apologize, you're close.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
I'm actually the guy who bribed the engineer to keep
them on the air in the hope that he would
get in trouble and I could slide in there. I mean,
while you're done there, would you mind me?

Speaker 3 (38:56):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
It could be it could be worse. You could be
the guy who's talking to so may listen. There's you know,
there's a lot with that.

Speaker 7 (39:05):
Next, Jake Paul got knocked out by Anthony Joshua Jonas.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Do you care? I do, and let me tell you why.
It was a no loose situation for everybody involved. Anthony
Joshua knocked him out as he should have. Jake Paul
got a broken job. I got a lot of respect
for people for even taking the fight. And if you
had Netflix, it gave me something to watch if you
were getting fed up with whatever Oklahoma was doing in
the second half. I was into it.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
Next, Hunterricks from K pop Demon Hunters will perform at
halftime of the Vikings Lions game on Christmas Day on Netflix. Jonas,
do you care.

Speaker 5 (39:39):
Who?

Speaker 2 (39:40):
I hate this?

Speaker 7 (39:43):
It's a it's a fake band from the show that's
probably gonna be a real group. My kid loves it.
The songs are awesome, so they're gonna be playing at
halftime for Christmas Day.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Okay, Well, if that's the case because your kid likes it,
then yeah, I care about it. I'm just letting you
know right now, I have no idea. Now by the way,
I'm looking at the uh, looking at the picture of it,
and boy no, I don't want to say it. While

(40:14):
you're done there me listen. You took the words right
out of my mouth. No pun intended. But the point is,
like it's Christmas. There's a lot of gifts to open,
there's a lot of football to watch, there's a lot
of stuff to drink, there are many things to do,
and who knows, maybe the Flyers will be playing that
day and it'll give you the opportunity to show everybody
you can multitask. I don't know while you're done, there

(40:37):
would your mind me. You know, there's a team in
the NFL that is teaching you a valuable lesson as
a fan, as somebody who likes football, and they are
yours coming up here in just a couple of moments
from now, Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can listen
to us as always on the iHeartRadio app. You can
find us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country

(41:00):
and wherever you are making us a part of your
Saturday afternoon or if you're listening on the podcast, we
appreciate making a party. If you're making us a part
of your weekend also, and we will be taking you
here live all the way up until the end of
this hour four pm Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific. We
do have a college football playoff game that Isaac Lohncron
mentioned in his award winning Top of the Hour update,

(41:22):
in which the Miami Hurricanes and the Texas a and
Im Maggie's are tied at three. Look, there's just been
there's a lot going on in this game, all right,
It's not been the greatest played game. Carson Beck's got
eighty yards passing, You've got turnovers, you've got sloppy play,

(41:44):
you've got a bunch of miskicks, You've got you know,
special teams, gaffes. They're just there's a lot going on
in this game. But you know what, hey survive in
advance the old the old John Calipari quote, just laying
the plane. So if you're just one of these teams,
you realize, probably in real time, oh god, we're not
even close to being a national championship contender, but you

(42:06):
are technically from the standpoint that. But listen, you know,
you get past this game, all of a sudden, you're
in the final eight, and negget, who knows. Crazy things
can happen in one off scenarios in college football, in
college sports, or in the NFL, things like so good, hey, Miami,
Texas A and m knock yourselves out. Maybe we'll get
some overtime action. But as I mentioned earlier, the best

(42:29):
part about all of the college football Playoff opening round
is the home field advantages. It doesn't appear like there's
any in this game, but the atmosphere, the vibe, all
of that stuff is the best part about all of it.
So at least it's playing out there at Texas A
and m As they are tied with Miami with eight
minutes left to go in the game. All right, so

(42:50):
let's have a conversation about a team in the NFL
that's teaching you a valuable lesson. All right. So I'd
mentioned this earlier that the Chiefs are learning to live
and will learn to live how the other side lives
in these final three games of the season, like the
Patrick Mahomes injury, again, take your time. No need to

(43:13):
rush him back for Week one of next season, Like
stop worrying about him being on the field to open
up the year. If he goes on the pup list
for the first four games, whatever, Just make sure he's
one hundred percent ready, healthy and good to go before
you bring him back, because you don't want to have
to deal with the reality if something goes wrong that
you're going to have to deal with in the final
three games. And you've got you know, Travis Kelcey, you know,

(43:35):
letting everybody know he's going to play these final three games.
And I don't know why that's a story, but apparently
ESPN thought that was worth a story. That does that
surprise anybody? Of course, he's going to play it's probably
the last three games of his career, So why wouldn't
he play because Patrick Mahomes isn't there. No, of course
he's going to play like the guy's got three games left.

(43:56):
Believe it or not, he has played previously with somebody
other than Patrick Mahomes actually had good years with Alex
Smith as his quarterback and the Chiefs did in general.
So the idea that he's going to play being a
story is just not a story. There's three games left,
most likely in his career. He's going to be out there.
He's going to give it a go. But there's also
another team in the NFL that is learning how the

(44:18):
other side lives, all right, And this is a team
that's actually teaching you a valuable lesson as a fan.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Boy.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
What a difference a year makes for the Washington Commanders
who are going to be playing the Philadelphia Eagles later on.
And the Washington Commanders are awful, They are terrible. And
what makes it interesting is the fact that a year ago,

(44:48):
at this time they were the rave of the NFL.
A year ago, at this time, all anybody wanted to
talk about was Jaden Daniels and the Commanders, and all
this stuff. And conversely, all anybody wanted to talk about
was man, how bad the Bears whift on not taking
Jade and Daniels first and going with Caleb Williams. And

(45:10):
I'm not sitting here telling you Caleb Williams is lighting
the league on fire this year. He's not. But this
is further proof. Enjoy it why you got it, even
if it's fleeting. Enjoy it while you got it. Watch
every highlight package, watch every game. Take it all in
because a year ago this team was on their way

(45:32):
to the playoffs, annihilating the Lions in Detroit in a
playoff game and then going to the NFC title game,
and a year later they're unrecognizable. And look the injury
to Jayden Daniels and all of that stuff. I get it,
I understand it. But if we're being fair, it's not

(45:57):
like when he was healthy. He was playing that great
year and then he couldn't stay healthy, which was problematic,
and so they decided, you know what, We're gonna shut
him down for the rest of the year. He hasn't
been one hundred percent. You've also got the fact that
Jaden Daniels tried to come back and got hurt again,
which was always the risk and always a concern, And

(46:19):
they're looking around for answers and they're not going to
get any dot later today because they're going to lose
that game, which, by the way, fun fact when the
Eagles beat the Commanders later on and they will just
I'm just letting you know, like spoiler alert, Philly's gonna
win that game. The Eagles will become the first team
to win the NFC East in back to back years
since two thousand and four. Just think about how long

(46:42):
that's been. Since two thousand and four, we've never had
back to back division winners in the NFC East. Like
that's called parody. That's what that division has given you
for over twenty years. But on the subject to the Commanders,
like this is why, if you get an opportunity to

(47:03):
close the deal, you've got to close the deal, and
you could take it to drastic extents like you could,
you know, if you want to talk Blue Jays, like
the Toronto Blue Jays who were how many times one pitch,
one inch, one fraction of a millimeter away from winning
a World Series only to lose it. If you're a

(47:25):
Blue Jays fan, you're walking around. And by the way,
I don't know any Blue Jays fans. I saw a
dad and his two kids recycling cans wearing Blue Jay's
shirts during the World Series. They probably just got them.
I mean probably just And based on the car he
was driving, why is that guy recycling cans? My truck's
twenty years old. It makes sense. But that guy's driving
like an Audi and he's recycling cans. That didn't make
any sense. But the point is, like a Blue Jay

(47:47):
fan walking around right now is like, oh, yeah, we're
never getting that opportunity again. That's over. Like we can
go out and make as many deals as we want
and give away as many absurd contracts to Dylan Ceese,
et cetera, et cetera, Kyle Tucker, if we wanted to
do whatever you want, You're never getting back to that point.
HiT's over the Washington Commanders last year. If you were

(48:08):
a Commanders fan and you were walking around saying to yourself,
you know what, Finally we got a squad, Finally we
got a quarterback, finally we got a coach. We finally
figured this out. We've even got a new owner. We
finally figured this out. This was a hard dose of
reality to enjoy the success while you've got it. Because

(48:30):
this is what the NFL looks like, and it's why
I've been making this point in looking a year ahead,
you need to keep a close eye on teams like
the Bears, teams like the Patriots, because, as you know,
in watching the NFL for as long as we've watched
the NFL together, the team that gets all the breaks

(48:52):
and gets all the calls and gets everything that goes
their way one year, more often than not, the next
year it flips. Why do you think the Kansas City
Chiefs are in this spot this year? Why do you
think the Washington Commanders are in this spot this year?
Because all those close games, all those situations, freak kil
Mary finishes, all of that stuff has flipped.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
The injury luck, the game luck, the play by play,
all of that stuff is flipped.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
And this is where you're at. So Washington Commanders fans
walking around with all the doom and gloom. Look ban
a year ago things were different. But that's the NFL.
That's the reality of eighty to ninety percent of the league.
That one year everybody's talking about you, everybody's loving you,
and the next year you don't get any of that

(49:43):
stuff to go your way, and it's a problem. So
if you're looking at where Washington is at this year
in comparison to last year, twelve months from now, we
could be having the same conversation about teams like the
Patriots and teams like the Bears at the Jonas Knocks
on X at Jonas Knox Show on Instagram is where
you can follow along on ig by the Way, Texas

(50:06):
A and M with the football five and a half
minutes left to go and they are approaching field goal range.
Not that that matters in this game. With the game
tied three to three again five minutes left to go
in the fourth quarter, there as a Texas A and
M in Miami are trying to advance past the first
round of the college football Playoff. This game deserves overtime, man,

(50:26):
it deserves overtime. And you know what, somebody make a
couple of calls. Let's see if we can get this
to finish in a tie. Why not? How about this
this game finishes in a tie and then Notre Dame
gets to advance to the Elite eight. Let's just do that. Like,
let's do that and see if we could just piss
everybody off and have a little bit of fun with
this if we're going to watch this game trying to

(50:47):
work off a hangover from last night. All right, So
coming up next here, though, we are going to tell
you about how there are people trying to speak for
a fan base that have no idea what they're talking about.
Literally no idea what they're talking about. But believe it
or not, I do find out why. Next here on

(51:08):
FSR Boom Tuxs for Jonas Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio.
By the way, we're going to get into a fan
base who's having a lot of people speak on their
behalf and none of it is accurate. That'll be yours
coming up here a little over, well, we'll just call

(51:29):
it a couple of minutes from now. A lot of
positive feedback. By the way, here on the show, Chris
writes in because listen, I made the point earlier that
the people who have antlers during the holiday season that
that come out of their car, you know, like the
antlers that hang up in the windows, like those people
are losers. Like no, and I'm not trying to be offensive,

(51:50):
just it is facts are facts. It's also like I've
seen people. Now they'll put the the elf feet hanging
out of the trunk. And my point is like, dude,
if you're gonna go that far, put truck nuts on you,
like those fake nuts that people have on the back
of their truck. Like, just put some truck nuts on,
like literally have the balls to do that. And so

(52:13):
Chris wrote in, because apparently he's one of those people,
and he said, quote, these people are losers. You know
who else is a loser? Some untalented hack working weekends
on the radio for no money. I mean, he's not wrong.
Justin wrote in, wants to know are there going to

(52:35):
be more missed field goals in this Texas A and
M game or more lawsuits in the Michigan coaching drama.
That's not nice. Also a fair question, probably worth a
poll question. Bill wrote in with three bats hanging upside
down and told me to give Wally Zerbiak my best again.

(52:59):
Also not nice holiday seas. I don't know why people
can't just say nice things here. It's not there's nothing
wrong with being kind to people during the holidays. So again,
at the Jonas Knocks on X at Jonas knock Show
on Instagram is where you can follow along and have
fun with all that stuff if you'd like to. A
quick update on the game. A minute fifty five left

(53:21):
to go there at Texas A and m Miami has
the football in the red zone with a second down
with the game tied three to three. So the Hurricanes
looking to win on the road with an opportunity to
do so and just grinding down the clock, Texas A
and M taking all their timeouts, and Miami's now got

(53:41):
a third down. I don't know if by the way,
if I'm Miami, I'm trying to score touchdown. You cannot
trust any kicker in this game. The wind is a problem,
the ball's blowing off the tee, and yeah, have fun
with all that if you want to trust your kicker
in these conditions, because I think he's already missed three kicks.
If I'm not mistaken, remiss field goes by Miami. So

(54:02):
we'll keep you posted on the conclusion of that game
as it takes place here on the show. Also want
to let you know that if you're listening to this
show right now live on the iHeartRadio app, we appreciate

we'll always pop up at the top of your screen
and we'll call it ten minutes from now. We are
going to tell you how one coach is being very
careful about reporting on the status of his star player,
very careful, and there's a reason for that. So we

(54:46):
will get into that for you again ten minutes from now.
So what's interesting about the two games taking place later
on today? First of all, I think everybody thought that
the Commanders would be better than they are. They're not.
They're bad. And so you've got the Eagles going into
town and Philly's probably going to win that game. That's
how that's going to go. And then you know, we're

(55:07):
just kind of getting to the end and Commanders fans
just can't wait for the end to finally be here
so they can move on to next year and just
hope that Jaden Daniels can stay healthy. So there's all that. Also,
by the way, touchdown Miami on a third and five
a minute, forty four left to go, nine three Hurricanes
with extra point pending. So you've got all that when
it comes to the Commanders and the Commanders fans who

(55:30):
are looking around going can't we just get till next year.
The other part of today's action in the NFL is
really the main event, which is the Packers at the Bears,
and both teams are banged up. Obviously the Micah Parsons injury,
Christian Watson and Josh Jacobs are banged up, roma Donsay
Luther Burden are going to be out, Zach Thom's banged

(55:51):
up for the Packers. All like you know, this basically
a war pttriction. It's this time of the.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Year, it's a short week, and it's one of the
great rivals rivalries we've seen. And it's also a big moment,
more so for the Bears than it is the Packers,
just from the standpoint that Green Bays dominated the series.
I think the Bears are one in fourteen in their
last fifteen games against the Packers at Soldier Field, which

(56:18):
is just an indicator of the dominance of Green Bay's
had over all this. But for all the feel good stuff,
when it comes to Ben Johnson and the Bears and
everybody talking about the Bears finally being back and you know,
have they figured this out, none of it matters if
you can't beat the Packers. None of it matters. Like
this is a cute story and it looks like, I mean,

(56:40):
there are odds to go to. The playoffs are are
pretty high right now, Like, none of it matters. You
lost two weeks ago to the Packers on in.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
A game in which in the second half the Bears
were controlling time and possession all that stuff, just couldn't
stop big plays, but you still lost. And all you
keep hearing about is Man oh Man, you know the
rival where he's fine. But if you can't win these games,
even if you keep it close, none of it matters.
And until you get over that hump, I don't want
to hear anything about the Bears are back, the Bears

(57:12):
are good again. The job Ben Johnson's done. Listen. A
blocked field goal against the Raiders awesome, A winning field
goal against you know, the Washington Commanders awesome. A special teams,
a big return on a kickoff that led to a
game winning field goal at Minnesota and a game that
you shouldn't have been trailing at that point. That's all awesome,

(57:33):
your comeback win against the Giants because Jackson Dart went
out of the game. All that's cute. None of it
matters unless you can beat the Packers at least once.
And I'm not talking about the end of last year,
in the final week of the season with Jordan Love
banged up and Watson goes down with an injury and
Green Bay's got nothing to play for. I'm not talking

(57:53):
about that. I'm talking about in the moment, in a
big game, big standalone game in comparison to yeah, you
got a college football playoff game, but no other NFL
game going on at that time. This is your opportunity.
All this conversation about well the Bears are back at
the job Ben Johnson's done, none of that matters if

(58:14):
they lose this game, none of it because it's gonna
end up being same old Bears. But there's also a
conversation and a couple of conversations that are happening, which
ought to show you nobody knows what they're talking about
when it comes to this fan base. They don't.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
They do not.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
All right, now, I've grown up around this fan base, Okay,
I do know what the fan base feels and what
they care about. And there were two stories that started
making the rounds again this week that I can assure
you Bear fans do not care about. Story Number one,

(58:55):
Caleb Williams, he needs X amount of yards per game
to become the first Bears quarterback to pass for four
thousand yards. Nobody cares. Nobody cares in Chicago about that.
Nobody cares if they're a Bears fan, whether or not
Caleb Williams gets to four thousand yards passing, Nobody gives

(59:16):
a rip. They've never had it before, so why would
they care. Now. It's like people who get depressed when
they don't win the lottery. Oh man, I lost again?
What do you care? You never want it anyways? Who cares?

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Like?

Speaker 2 (59:32):
You never had that money? He's what do you care?
You played?

Speaker 1 (59:34):
You lost, so what nobody cares? You just want to
be able to be comfortable.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Bear fans just want to be comfortable and watch games
that matter, like the one later on tonight. Nobody cares
if he throws for two hundred and eighty three yards
per game down the stretch and gets to four thousand yards,
Nobody gives a rip. They just want to have games
matter again late in the season. They've been awful. There's
a select group of teams that have been the worst

(01:00:01):
teams in the NFL over the past ten to fifteen
years or whatever you whatever timeframe you want to use.
And we know the usual suspects, the Browns, the Jets,
the Raiders, the Giants. You want to throw the Jaguars
in there, like you probably could, like, like, do we
know the usual suspect? You know what else is part

(01:00:22):
of that crew? The Bears.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Like there, and nobody during that time is like, oh, well,
you know what the problem is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
We don't have a four thousand yard passer. No, the
problem is you suck. That's the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Like you want to have all four thousand Like nobody cares, Like,
nobody's keeping track to see whether or not Caleb Williams
throws for X amount of yards per game so you
can get to the magical four thousand yard mark.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Nobody gives a rip. You know what else nobody cares about?
In Chicago, no Bear fan cares about the latest update
on this mythical stadium that's going to get renovated or built.
The story that came out from Kevin Warren, their team
president or whatever his title is in Chicago earlier this week,
where he's like, you know what, we've been trying to
get a stadium done, and let me tell you something.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
We're opening up our search. We're even looking at Indiana.

Speaker 8 (01:01:16):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
We also remember this the last time you had a
story like this. You remember this one. Hey, if the
Bears don't get Soldier Field figured out, guess what they're
gonna do. They're looking at Gary, Indiana. That was a
story back in the day. You want to know how
I know I remember that because Mike North, good buddy
Fox Sports Radio Hall of Fame er Mike North. We

(01:01:40):
don't need to bring Jonason, who during that time, while
hosting in Chicago, went to Gary, Indiana and filmed a
segment while wearing a gas mask because apparently there's an
odor in Gary, Indiana that's awful. And so Mike North
I went to Gary, Indiana just kind of campassing the

(01:02:04):
town while wearing a gas mask. True story.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
So like this whole concoction of all we're gonna we're
threatening to move to Indiana and we're gonna We're gonna
go here, And of course the Bears would pick this week,
with the biggest game in the franchise's recent history, to
start trying to use leverage to talk about the stadium.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
They're gonna get done. Dude, you haven't been able to
figure out the stadium for like one hundred years. When
you finally did renovate the stadium because you wanted to
keep the you know, the columns up there is to
pay tribute to Soldier Field. When you finally did fix it,
you put in a UFO drive by Soldier Field. Now

(01:02:46):
it literally looks like a flying saucer. The bathroom lines
are awful, The concessions are bad. The best part about
the food. There is a Kim and Carlo's hot dog
stand right outside the stadium. It's tremendous. Other than that,
the place sucks. It's terrible. You can't get a cab,

(01:03:06):
you can't get an uber. It's awful. But don't worry.
We'll move to Gary and dude, stop.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Stop with the posturing, Stop with all the stories, stop
with all the developments of what you're gonna do and
how it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
And what's your threat. Nobody cares, Just like they don't
care whether or not Caleb Williams throws for two hundred
and eighty three yards a game to get the four
thousand yards. They don't care. They just want a good
football team. That's it. All the other stuff is garbage.
At the Jonas knocks on x at, Jonas Knockshaw on
Instagram and you can hang out with us as always
on the iHeartRadio app. Up next, we're gonna tell you

(01:03:47):
about how one coach is being very careful about how
he discusses a situation involving his star player. We'll get
into that for you right here on FSR. But for
all the latest from around the world of sports, we
turn it over to the man himself. He's the one,
He's the only, He's the majestic, Sir, Isaac Lollenkroft Jonas.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
We've got twenty eight seconds left in the fourth quarter
in this Round one college football playoff matchup with ten
seed Miami holding a ten to three lead over seven
seed Texas A and m Texas A and m has
a third down and goal to go coming up at
the Miami five yard line. On the previous possession. We
were tied at three, but Miami's Mark Fletcher ripped off

(01:04:31):
a fifty six yard run to the Texas A and
M thirty, the longest run of his career. Fletcher sixteen
carries for one hundred and seventy yards on the day,
and that set up this the only touchdown of the
game thus far.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Text to the shutdown. Here's the step hand off. Tony
runs right side ten by Tony Hey.

Speaker 9 (01:04:52):
Down texdown, texdown, text down MIAA.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
It's her day's delight.

Speaker 9 (01:04:59):
It's an eleven touchdown. Probatics Tony running left or rights.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Tony scores, Miyamy.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Has the lead.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Joseph Gaki the call on WQAM. But again right now,
Texas A and M is lining up for a third
down end goal at the Miami five yard line with
twenty eight seconds left on the fourth quarter, and Miami
holding a ten to three lead over Texas A and
M coming up to a yes the interception Miami in
the end zone. Miami intercepts a pass in the end

(01:05:29):
zone with twenty four seconds to go. They will advance
to take on Ohio State interception Miami moments.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Ago in the end zone.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Wow, you were saying, well, I mean, look, it was
a clean suitep for the home teams last year in
the college football playoff, and now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
The home teams are rowing two. So very interesting how
that's shaped up. By the way, if you're wondering if
if it's going to be a clean sweep the other way,
don't worry about it. Oregon is going to demolish James
Madison later, So wait to go out on a limb there.
I just I was wondering.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
The player that went down with the what appeared to
be a concussion, because just before that play, Yeah, was
that the same guy who also got dinged earlier for Miami.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
I could not tell. I do not know.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
I do know the interception moments ago was by Miami's
Bryce Fitzgerald. So again Bryce Fitzgerald, the interception. Hurricanes ball
with a chance to run out the clock, up ten
to three over Texas A and M, with twenty four
seconds left to play in the fourth quarter, just about
to get underway, eleven seed to two lane playing at
six seed old Miss. Kenny Dillingham has signed a five
year contract to remain the head coach.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
At Arizona State. He will not be going to Michigan.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
If the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys activated cornerback Trayvon Diggs
from injured reserve, they placed cornerback Deron Bland on injured
reserve Miami with a kneel down the final seconds ticking away,
So they win at Texas A and M ten to
three and advanced to play Ohio State Jonas.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Well, here's the do you think this is karma? Let
me just ask you the question, Isaac, do you believe
that this is karma against Texas A and M. Karma
is at work here when it comes to Texas A
and M in what regard?

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
I mean, there's so many things that you could be
referring to, including the behavior of its own spectators at
the game today.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Well, I would say for a couple of reasons. If
I'm not mistaken, if I have this wrong, I apologize.
But was Texas A and M not the team who
had the cop who assaulted those two players in the tunnel?

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
That is correct, and we do have some news actually
about that it was kind of ancillary. But the player
has apparently filed some sort of lawsuit. Like literally today,
really M the cup because he like shoved him.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Hey, I'm just relaying it to you. Oh Jesus Christ,
I mean, I mean, wasn't the guy wearing shoulder pads
and a helmet and probably a cowboy caller? Did he
have a DonJoy knee brace on too? And you needed
all that protection? And he's worried about a cop shoving him.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Yeah, but it's not just the shove, it's the it's
the dirty look through the through the oakleys, you know.
I mean that there's a lot of potential emotional damage there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
By the way, if you could get cited for dirty looks,
my wife would be in prison. All right, So then
let me Thank god you're listening, but let me just
say this. The other the other piece of karma here
is uh is the fact that they did kick a
kid out for drinking? Was it Saint Arnold's lawnmower?

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Come on, I mean, well, yeah, no, that's you know,
that is a good point.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
So so the final score with just that individual who
was a minor, all right, two Saint Arnold's lawnmowers, one
michelob ultra, a nicotine vape, and a pack of Marlborough
one hundreds.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
I mean, looks use something for everybody, like you know,
one of those. It's like one of those guys who
works in a bathroom at a nice restaurant, you know,
like you look on the counter, the guy's got, oh
the attendance, the attendant, yes, alone, like all sorts of
stuff I don't even like sometimes I don't have cash,
Like that's the only time I don't wash my hands
after I use the restroom, like one or two. If

(01:09:18):
I don't have cash and one of those guys is
working in the bathroom, then I don't want to use
any of his stuff and not pay him, So I'll
just walk out and whatever germs I give somebody that
blame it on the fact that I'm a many cast.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
I mean, a Fox Sports Radio investigation will be launched.
But this miner could contend that he had just had
all that stuff for his of age buddies. Although I
literally looked at the Texas A and M Campus Police
like handbook, the laws, and even if you're carrying stuff
that stuff and you're a minor for your friends, you
still get in trouble. And by the way, just about

(01:09:51):
that the suit. Here's the story. This actually happened back
on December eighteenth, which was a whopping two days ago,
but one of the South Carolina players accused the trooper
of assault in a criminal complaint. That's what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Oh my god, I know, all right again karma apparently
so yeah, and you know, I would say I would
say karma that. That's that's what I can My breakdown
of this game is straight up karma. That that's what
I'm looking at here. Also, would you would you constitute
this game as an upset though?

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Yeah, theoretically I'd constitute this game as a lot of things,
but upset would be one of them. But I think
it's it's it's known for the lack of offense, the missfield
goal with the one touchdown, the comedy of errors.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
I mean because like you know, like I think it
was Ross Dellinger. I think that's who it is. On
social media, it was like Miami stuns Texas A and
m like, what are you talking about? Dude? There were
three point underdow. You don't know what happened with Ross Dellinger?
Do you what?

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Apparently because of American airlines, he the game because of
a travel snap who kidding? Yeah, yeah, because of the
incompetence of American airlines, he missed the game, so he
actually he actually lucked out, and American Airlines responded, we
know how important this was and our apologies for the

(01:11:17):
flight delay.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
If you'd like rebooking, hell, please send us a DM.
By the way, you want to you want to hear
the put put the bottle down and get to the
airport on time. Yeah, allegedly.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
You want to hear the radio call of the clinching
interception by Miami seconds ago. Here's Joe Zagaki on WQAM.

Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
Read the quarterback takes the snap right hashwork, looks at throw,
let's it fly.

Speaker 9 (01:11:38):
In, accept it in inaccepted fix Gerald, the freshman picks
it off. Miamy's gonna win this game. Miaby's gonna win
the game. Fitzgerald picked it off of the end zone.
The moment of magic for Miami. It's Vicgerald with an
interception twenty four seconds that go in the game.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
He has this second intersection. Oh my goodness, there you are, man,
damn man, right before they get knifed by Ohio State
next week. There's have fun with that. But you know
you wanna playoff games. That's good for them, all right,
Thank you, Isaac. By the way, the original Louisiana Hot
sauce is the perfect bounds of Pepper's vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers,

(01:12:21):
and any tailgate food with the bold, handcrafted flavor of
the original Louisiana Hot sauce. That's Louisiana Hot by you
some We're going to have Knox locks coming up here
in about ten minutes from now. Let's get a quick
update from Mike Tomlin, who earlier this week, when asked
about TJ. Watt, who had his lung collapse by dry
needling last week by the Pittsburgh Steelers and potentially their

(01:12:42):
medical staff. Earlier this week, Mike Tomlin said, hey, listen,
I don't even know if the guy's in the building.
I have no idea. I don't know what's going on.
And yesterday was also asked about the status of TJ.
Watt and whether or I need does anything at this
point during the week. Let's take a listen back.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
In the building. I'm just a little bit hesitant to
talk about medical.

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
It's a little bit different than injury, and so my
preference is to allow him to speak for himself.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
Wonder what that is, got Wonder why that is? I mean,
he's going to miss another game. And you know, nobody's
really saying much and what kind I wonder why that is.
And I made the point last week the initial story
didn't make sense, and what didn't make sense about it
was the fact that the NFLPA was notified. That was

(01:13:25):
part of the story, Like, oh, TJ Watta to go
to the hospital with a lung issue. The NFLPA has
been notified. Wait what? And then they come out afterwards
say what was dry needling that caused him to have
a collapse lung? Wait what? And then Mike Tomlins says
earlier this week, I don't even know if the guy's
in the building. Okay, So your best player and you
don't know if he's in the building. Huh. And then

(01:13:48):
that's well, you know, I'm hesitant to discuss any of
this stuff. I'll let the player speak for himself. Oh okay,
but he's going to miss another game, telling you, man,
this is going to be a problem. This is going
to be an issue, whether this is a legal matter
or whatever you want to call it. Something went awry,

(01:14:09):
something went wrong, and everybody's being very careful because they
don't want to have any responsibility if this thing goes
and takes a turn for the worse, all right, And
by worse, I mean if all of a sudden there's
some investigation done and they find out that maybe there
were some things done inside the locker room that should
have been done. This is a problem. And as long

(01:14:29):
as Mike Tomlin continues to be weird about it, it
tells me and confirms my initial thought on it the
entire time at the Jonas Knox on x at Jonas
Knox Shaw on Instagram and up next we are going
to have another edition of Knox Locks. And I'm telling
you right now, I am done with one division in
the NFL. I want no part of it. I'll explain
right here on FSR Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming

(01:14:54):
up top of next hour a little over ten minutes
from now, it'll be Alex Curry and Nikki k Ta
over the airwaves. They will have you covered here on

(01:15:37):
time and let it fly again. Not happy with something
fire away in the comments. No, no harm, no no
issue taken. We're good.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
You know a lot of people get really worked up
about it. They'll block you on social media. I will not.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
I don't care. That's fine. You know, feel how you
want to feel. It's all good on these parts. So
you can find all of that if you will on
social media. By the way, I'm going to swear off
an entire division kind of in the NFL, and I'm
going to do it in another edition of this Locked It.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
Let's locked it and Knox locks all right, So let's
go back to last week.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
I told you last week I had a bad feeling.
I didn't like any of the picks. I didn't feel
right about it. The only one I felt great about
was the Eagles minus eleven and a half against the
Raiders hosting Las Vegas, just because the Raiders are so
bad that that felt like the surefire bet. And it's
an eleven and a half points spread, but I felt
great about it, and I won the Bengals plus three

(01:16:40):
against the Ravens. Ill advised. I had forgotten that if
Joe Burrow comes out and you know, sounds like he's
going to carve Brooks was here over his head before
a game, that feels like that's probably not a team
you want to bet on. And unfortunately I bet on him,
and there we are. It was, you know, terrible, they
look like they had quit. And the Baltimore Ravens come

(01:17:02):
out and get it done on the road there and
then the NFC South. Can I just say this politely,
f the NFC South. I had the Panthers minus two
and a half at New Orleans and for some inexplicable reason,
Carolina could not hold onto that lead. It was just disastrous.
The Tyler shuck slide and the penalty was a joke,

(01:17:24):
Like the whole thing was a mess. So I ended
up losing that game. So a one to two performance,
first losing week and a long ass time. It puts
us at twenty three twenty and two on the season,
which brings us to now look Packers at Bears. All right,
I'll bite. I'll take the Chicago Bears. It's a slight
one point spread. The Packers were favored on the other

(01:17:47):
side earlier in the week, but I'm gonna go with
Chicago in this spot. I think the loss of Micah
Parsons is a problem. Also a fun fact, did you
know teams that play at Mile High one week are
Owen seven the following week? The Packers just played at
Mile High. I think it goes to oh to eight.

(01:18:10):
So this year, teams that play at Denver are Owen
seven the following week. I think it happens again. I'm
gonna ride the Bears here minus appointed home Jets at Saints.
The New Orleans Saints are a six and a half
point favorite over the New York Jets at home. The

(01:18:32):
New Orleans Saints shouldn't be over a six and a
half point favorite over a casket, let alone a professional
football team at home, on the road, or anywhere in between.
I'm gonna take the New York Jets getting six and
a half points in this spot. J e ts Jets.
They're terrible. They're still gonna lose, but they'll keep it

(01:18:54):
within the number.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
Jaguars at Broncos. I'm gonna take here a three point favorite. Look,
I know everybody loves Trevor Lawrence this week.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
You know he still looks like the guy and the
painting and Ghostbusters too. I know everybody loves him. He
had six touchdowns last week and it was awesome. And
go Jags go. They've got to go on the road
against a team that's firing on l cylinders. I think
Denver gets it done. A three point favorite. I like
the Broncos. And that is your Week sixteen edition of
Knox Flocks Knocks. It's been a fun one. Thank you

(01:19:31):
to Bo Benson, Chris Purfett, Isaac Low and Crawn and
everybody who listen. Have a merry Christmas and happy holidays,
and don't drink too much, and if you do, just
don't drive around drunk, right, do the responsible thing. We're
back next week here on FSR. While you're done there,
would you mind betting me
