are and ladies and gentlemen, it is time to welcome
in our guest. Here are co host for the day
in for Bucky bro Because this is a man who
walked around the streets of Brooklyn and was dubbed the
Brooklyn Badass because of his attitude. He is a man

(01:08):
who got Chris collins Worth and Chad Ocho sinko to
race a horse. He is a man who ran horse tracks.
He's a man who married his wife at a horse
track because he knew he could get free gifts as
long as they paid admission to come see the wedding.
And I'm not even making up that story. He is
Andy Furman, he is fur Bag, he is furball. Makes

(01:32):
some noise for me, stop bad, I'm yet up a boy?
What boy for? I've been an under one? Really? What's

(01:55):
a bag? You must depicted the short straw to have
me come in on a Saturday, And don't be telling
me it's a beautiful saturday. They're expecting five inches and
I can't wait to see what five inches looks like.
I'm talking about snow. Oh yeah, that's the first for you, right.
I was gonna say all the old three thumbs over there.
I'm very much that's we're going. Uh so, so, my man,

(02:20):
Andy Fermer, what's happening on on a beautiful saturday? My
friend freaking for? You know, stop pitching him moaning? Forget
the snow. It's a fun saturday here. Come on? Well,
you know what, I can make a couple of bucks
shoveling stoops, you know, but I'm gonna be with you
for three hours. But that's all right. Well, listen, we're
gonna have a good time. Andy Firm and my guy
from way back in the day. This is gonna be
a lot a lot of grab bass here throughout the

(02:42):
next three hours on Fox Sports Radio. But I gotta
ask you, if you notice this quarterback carousel that we
got going on, what the hell's that? I think it's great.
I think it's tremendous because you know, I'm a little
depressed after the Super Bowl is like dead city. There's
no sports. I mean really, NFL it's over, and the
college footballs over. Baseball you know, who knows when they're

(03:02):
gonna play If they're gonna play the trug may now
and then you got what, uh soccer they're not gonna play,
And it's just it's a college basketball, no tournaments, just
going to the NT double A. That's it. So to me,
the more football, the better. And there's so many storylines
right now. However, I have a problem with a guy
who signs a contract and moans and bitches to say

(03:22):
I want out. I just care. It's not just now,
It's been going on for eons. Yeah, No, and and
I want to get into that with you at some
point on the show, because you actually dealt with that
in Cincinnati. Because you are based in Cincinnati. They call
you the Brooklyn Badass. But you hide out in a
silo in Kentucky in the middle of nowhere, and then
you go in a lick lick postage stamps for a living.
But I want to get your thoughts on the just

(03:45):
with the the Carson Palmer situation. I want to dive
into that with you coming up later on in the show,
because you remember, this was a similar spot that Carson
Palmer was in in Cincinnati, and Deshaun Watson finds himself
in somewhat of a similar spot. But here this is
why I think all of this quarterback movement has taken place.
It's because of the two teams that are in the

(04:06):
super Bowl. Because the two teams in the Super Bowl
did it in two different ways. You got the Kansas
City Chiefs who drafted a quarterback, let him sit for
a year, and then made him the starter. He went
on to win an m v P and he's one
of the all time great quarterback talents that we've ever seen.
And then you've got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who walked

(04:27):
away from the quarterback that they drafted and then brought
in a forty three year old to run the offense,
and now they find themselves in a Super Bowl. I
think teams are looking around, going, we better figure this
thing out. Man. If you don't like the quarterback, you
got do what Tampa Bay did and say bye bye.
And if you feel like you don't have a dude,

(04:47):
you need to make some moves happen in the draft
and try and find the next Patrick Mahomes. It's a
copycat league. I think that's a big part of the
reason why this is you're associating the movement of quarterbacks
with teams and really then that is the individuals that
want to it out and they want to go out
for one reason, one reason only. They want to win.
They want to look at the DeShawn Watson, the numbers
that he has put up over his young careers, twenty
five years of age. But look, he's looking around seeing

(05:10):
guys that are as old as him, the Josh Allen's
of the world, that Patrick Mahomes that have had some
success and he can't have any success. But my my
answer to the question is is DeShawn you want to go?
All right, We'll let you go. We can finish four
and twelve without you. I mean, I I don't know
why you gotta take him out this early in the show.
Why do you do that? Do you have to have to?

(05:32):
I have to create a few but here, but it's
not even Look, Deshaun Watson situation is different. All right.
I believe Deshaun Watson's throwing a pissie fit. That's what
I think is happening. And I think on social media
it's it's ridiculous, Like it's all the passive aggressive craft
that we see from people. It's like the stuff you
post on social media. It makes me sick to my stomach.
But but my, my, big the thing that I find fascinating,

(05:55):
it's like, what's happening with Jared Goff and the Rams.
They were just in a super Bowl and now they've decided,
you know what, this guy John Wolford who looks like
Gary Oldman, we're gonna make a quarterback competition in camp
if we can't move on from Jared Goff. Wait what?
And then you've got the the Carson Wentz situation in Philadelphia.
What the hell's happening there. You gotta you gotta coach

(06:16):
who's basically a puppet at this point, brought in by ownership.
Nick uh Nick Sirianni, I just I look around the
league and you're seeing all sorts of movement. Jimmy Garoppolo
could be on his way out. There's all sorts of
movement that could take place. Ye, Matt Stafford is is
basically a done deal. You got um Dan Campbell coming
out saying, you know, talks for Matt Stafford had been

(06:38):
hot and heavy. Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.
All right, Well, if you wanted to bite his knee,
Dan Campbell said, knees From what I hear, if you
could bite your own knee and never leave the house.
But again, that's a whole discuss another day you're on
Fox Sports Radio. But I just think these teams are

(06:59):
looking round going if these guys can figure it out,
why can't we and and and there's more than one
way to do it. And I go back to the
copycat league thing, because this is we've seen this recently.
Remember back in the day when the wildcat was popular,
everybody started running the wildcat. Everybody did it everybody had
to have a wildcat package. And then all of a sudden,

(07:21):
there was this young head coach, Sean McVeigh, who got hired,
and then everybody wanted to hire a young head coach
and they needed to go out and get a guy.
And if you blew a snot rocket within ten feet
of Sean McVeigh, you've got a head coaching job in
the NFL. I think, yeah. I think teams are looking
around and I think they see, Okay, Kansas City was
able to do it this way, Tampa Bay was able

(07:43):
to do it this way. Now we know there's a
couple of different options we can take, and I think
they're trying to steal from the playbook of both those franchises,
and most notably, I think Tampa Bay because you took
a team who was I believe there were sub five
hundred last year. I think there were seven and nine
Tampa Bay last year with Bruce Arians because Jamis Winston
could not stop throwing interceptions, he could not stop throwing picks,

(08:06):
and you took that team, added one player, and now
they're in a Super Bowl coming up in about it
in a little over a week from now. I think
teams are are like the Rams are looking around. The
Lions are a different scenario. The Lions want to move on.
They're trying to rebuild, their tearing it down, They're starting
it from the ground up. I think teams like the
Rams are thinking, if we're just one player away, if

(08:28):
we're a quarterback away, with the roster and the pieces
we have on defense, let's go out and make it happen.
Because the windows in this league close fast, and that's
why I think we're seeing all this movement in the NFL.
The quarterbacks there's into the factor as well. Obviously, money
is always a factor. And God has like four years
left in his contract. You sound like a contract for
like hundred four million dollars back in So it is

(08:48):
a possibility right there if they do trade and they're
gonna take on a dead cap hit one and then
they say almost thirteen million dollars in cast space. So
money is a real factor. But also another factor is
affect it when new people come in. They want their people,
and Sean McVeigh obviously is not new, but let's sneeze
the general manager. He they after the season, they made
it clear that the teams who would explore the options

(09:09):
a quarterback and they're not gonna endorse Jared Goff and
maybe that injury fact, then maybe he's not as mobile
as he once was. I don't know the reason, but
the point is they're moving on. Well, I mean, he
was never all that mobile, you know, as our friend
as you know what what did our friend Mike North
called Roy Hibbert back in the day, the walking corpse.
That's so, I mean, you know, kind of very very similar,

(09:34):
very similar look to when they run the ball Jared
Goff and and Roy Hibbert back in the day. But
I just I'm with you. I think it's fantastic. This
is fun. There's we're gonna see a bunch of different
quarterbacks on a bunch of different teams. People are gonna
be wheeling in deal and trying to make moves. You've
got the l a Rams that could be looking for
a new quarterback, San Francis. Those are just two teams

(09:56):
in that division that are gonna be looking for quarterbacks.
And those are two teams. Feel like with those rosters,
they're not that far away. And then who the hell knows.
You're gonna have Urban Meyer and you're gonna have a
Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. What are the Jets do with
Sam Donald? This is fantastic man. Back in the day,
for bag this never happened. You drafted a quarterback and

(10:18):
that quarterback stayed on your roster for a significant amount
of time until you decided to move on. These days
in the NFL, wheeling and dealing, baby, I love well,
you know, the wheeling and dealing. As I said earlier,
it comes from the fact of the player wants to
be dealt. That's it. And that's why these players stayed.
They didn't have any options. I mean, they were fearful
of like ownership just saying, hey, you don't like it

(10:38):
here too bad, get out. And now there's a market
for these guys, because, let's face it, the quarterback is
the most important position perhaps in sports. You don't have
a quarterback you're going anywhere in the NFL. Yeah, But
you wouldn't have to worry about that because in Cincinnati
you've got Joe Burrow. You got a quarterback the one leg.
That's nice. You're you're a real class as I hope
you're real class. Like the guys. The guy suffered a

(11:01):
knee injury, he's already walking and rehabbing, and you turned
him into a lieutenant Dan. What's wrong with you? What's
wrong with you? Andy? So this seriously? Is that how
we're doing this? U? It is uh. It is Jonas
Knocks and Andy Ferman here on Fox Sports Radio. You
can hang out with us as always on the I
Heart Radio app. By the way, if you have any
issue with what Andy Ferman had to say just now,

(11:23):
you can find him at Andy Ferman fs ARE on Twitter. Yeah,
letter Riff, he's getting a burner account, all right. Coming
up next year on FSR though, we have got a
team in the NFL who is making things a little
bit uncomfortable for their starting quarterback. But it's not the
team you're thinking of. We'll get the latest from our

(11:43):
NFL insider next year on Fox Sports Radio. And makes
a fool in front of the whole damn country. He
is Andy Ferman. I'm Jonas Knocks here on Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up here in about we'll call it a little
over ten minutes from now here on fs ARE. There's
major drama with one quarterback in the NFL. It's not

(12:06):
the quarterback that you're probably thinking of, though. We will
have that for you here a little over ten minutes
from now on Fox Sports Radio, as we are broadcasting
live from the Farmers Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called
Farmers Today for a quote right now? Kind enough to
hang out with us here every single Saturday on Fox
Sports Radio. He is Adam Kaplan, Fox Sports Radio, NFL

(12:29):
Insider Serious x M NFL Radio as well. Adam always
appreciate it. Jonas Knocks and unfortunately Andy Fermanan for Bucking Brooks.
How are you guys go to talk to you? Good?
Talking to you? Um So, I did not. Just for
the record, I live probably three minutes away, no joke,

(12:49):
less than three minutes away, taking side streets to the
RAMS facility in Thousand Oaks. I lived Thousand Oaks, born
and raising Thousand Oaks. Adam, I swear to god, I
didn't hear of any issue with Jared Goff and Sean
McVeigh at any point over the last couple of years.
How did we get to this point to where there
now I have an open discussions about trading him. Look,

(13:12):
I've made it just so happened that I watched I
watched Lessnie. Their general manager's press conversation is about fifty
minutes with their local media. They made it available on
their website to watch because I knew that I knew
that there were issues that with Golf in terms of
being the quarterback going forward, so I wanted to see
what he would say. It was basically like he was
given away the answers to the test. He he ggrudgingly

(13:34):
said he's their quarterback for now. So yeah, look, he
didn't have a good year of golf. The word around
league is the term as he's a program quarterback. You
know that he you have to use him a specific
way to get him functional and get him accurate. Uh, look,
this guy's been a super Bowl before. You know, he's
a young quarterback twenty six years old. But he didn't

(13:54):
have a good year. And I just don't think that
Sean McVeigh got out of him what they want. And
in fact, if you remember his end of the season
press conference, I mean it's the first time that he
actually revealed that he was not happy with Goff and
he said there might be competition there. So yeah, it look,
it's gonna be hard to trade him. It's not that
his contract is so hard, it's that it's a quarterback that,

(14:16):
as I'm saying before that when you talk to people
in the league, it's just like, here's a guy that
is a function of this this specific scheme, and he's
not a he's not special in any way. He's okay quarterback,
but there's nothing special about him. And it wouldn't have
been easier for them to unload him if they didn't
go public and say we want to trade him. Yes, yeah,
and a hundred percent. And that's the thing I don't understand.

(14:37):
Let's see, the GM was given a chance to not
put it out there that they don't want the guy
in his own way. By the way, it's not like
he can't say yea, we want him out of here,
we don't want like the guy. It's not what he said.
But if you listen to the way he said everything,
it's very clear Knowledgy. Not only does everyone around the
league know that he's available, it's hey, come get him
if you want him, because we want to start our
off season. That's the look. Look, I get it, he's

(15:00):
using they're using the media, but an it makes such
a great point. Why make it so obvious? But he did. Yeah,
it's just like putting a piece of furniture in your
front lawn that says free. That's like, hey, everybody, well
and and look he's you know in the Matthew Stafford
situation is interesting. I've been working on that this week.
I do believe the lines will get it. We're in
the first round pick when they move them, and that

(15:21):
will be done. It could be actually very soon. We'll see.
But um, the fact of matter is, uh, this, this
god situation is very, very fascinating and man, I just
was not expecting them to be so open about moving them.
Adam Kaplan Fox Sports Radio, NFL Insider Sirius x M
NFL Radio joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Jonas Knocks,
Andy Verman here on fs are UM in Philadelphia. Nick

(15:45):
Siriani does his press conference. Of course, you know, welcome
to the day and age where we judge everybody based
on how they communicate. It's crazy. It's like, here's my point.
If we're going to judge coach's success on how they
do in press conferences, then Bill Belichick should have been
fired ten years you for saying that, because I don't

(16:05):
know this guy. I don't know him, but I I
was embarrassed by some of the things that people were saying.
Like I understand people on Twitter. Certainly some guys who
are good at Twitter and have a following there there
because they don't really know football very well. Their whole
thing take shots of players coaches. I get it. That's
your deal. That's how you get clicks. Okay, fine, that's
what you want to do. But people actually know football

(16:27):
don't react to stuff like this. It is what it is.
I feel kind of passionate about the nonsense it's out there.
You judge a guy on the field, and by the
way I learned my lesson and judging and coaches press
conferences over the years. I I've sometimes the guys don't
come off very well. I start to wonder, but I've
learned my lesson. You don't want to do that. What
is the plan with Carson Wentz. He's not He's not

(16:49):
definitely gonna be on the roster. I did report um
when the last week. I guess I can get you
up to date on that because we've been on together.
So what happened was is the interviews. Just about every
interview they asked uh, the the front office did, and
then the owner and the general manager and others who
are in the interview. All the interviews took place by
the by the way in Florida at Jeffrey Lori's house,
the owner's house and his winter house, if you will.

(17:12):
So they asked these Canadas, hey, listen, um, if you
become our head coach, what's your plan for the quarterback position?
Once you're planning a coach Carson Wentz and they gave
their spiel. Um, I know what. One of the candidates,
who those were very interested in, probably spoke ten or
fifty minutes just about the quarterback position, how he would
coach Carson Wentz and who he'd bring in with him
to do this. Um. Look, the contract is highly prohibitive

(17:36):
to trade. You can still do it, but on the
cap there's a massive cap hit and you have to
do it. You have to. You would have to adjust
your cap a little bit. By the way, the Goals
have the worst cap situation of the national football even
even without making it any kind of deal. Now, I
never say never, I would. There's certainly a percentage of
of information I have would say that they might move him. Um.
And you know part of it was Doug Peterson, their

(17:57):
head coach, not being that that helped the situation because
Wentzon Wentzon kind of had enough with Peterson. That was
the word I got. So that has gone. But Carson
Wentz and his saga certainly as continuing Adam, speaking of
common sense, how could the new Texas coach David Culley
not know the status of his quota backtiha on Watson,
I mean, really, I would like me go with the

(18:19):
Fox Sports trader say, oh, you have microphones here? Really? Andy?
The thing that I found funny, well I did. I
would applaud nikos Sario, the new GM too. He One
of the things I did like is he he knew
this was out there, the story was out there, so
he got in front of it before anyone could ask
any questions to him. He addressed it. He brought it up,

(18:40):
he said, listen, Uh, zero interest in trading the player.
He never said he wouldn't trade him, by the way,
That was the other part of the what he said.
But I look, I was a little surprised at Culley's answer.
David Culley is a fine man and a good receiver's coach.
He turned sixty six years old in September. Uh this,
if I would have to look it up. I don't
know if he in his career and every interviewed for

(19:02):
a head coaching job, I don't want to say kime
out of nowhere. Everyone who if you cover the league,
you know David Culley is a really good coach, good
man good. I mean, he'll he'll get buying from the players.
But you got to know, man, when you get in
front of the media, you gotta have something better to
say about that situation. I was a little surprised I
would agree with you, but um, you know, and I
feel bad for him because he's another guy. He waits

(19:24):
his entire career b head coach, and this is what
he's got to deal with. I mean, I mean, what
can you do? Well, here's the here's the other. Adam
Capitler and Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider. If I'm the Texans,
I'm not trading him, Adam. I'm I'm figuring out a
way to make this work. I just and they're going
to try to do that. That Jonas, that's where it's at.

(19:44):
You're just talking to teams that have already called. They're
not getting the idea that Niccessary wants to move Watson.
But I learned my lesson with the Raiders when I
had reported in the spring of eighteen that every team
that was calling said, no, we're not dealing him. Don't
call us anymore about Clil Mac. Well, what happened was
in August, John Gruden's personnel control got the feeling that

(20:06):
Mac would never show up, which by the way, was
never true. He had bad information, uh, and he and
he told Reggie Mackenzie then, who was the GM. He's
no longer GM, but he told him, hey, listen, get
him out of here. Get as much as you can
so you can never say never. And it's it's an
ugly situation. Um, he's he's mad at the team for
various reasons. It could literally take his twenty minutes to
talk about that. Since we don't have it. Uh in

(20:28):
a nutshell. Uh. He asked to be involved in in
the process of hiring the head coach in general managers
specifically first the GM. Two candidates told me that they
were told that Shaun would be involved and you don't
be alarmed if you see him in the you know,
in the virtual session. They never saw him in there
and never heard from They had no idea who was there.
So that's part of why the Shawn's man management. Why

(20:51):
are people saying that Aaron Rodgers maybe on the trading
block stirty seven, who remains on the contract through three
So why would he even look at that? Why are
people saying that about Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, here's what happened.
If his press conference, there are two things in his
press conference. He kind of hinted that, hey, you never know,
maybe I will be traded. He didn't say he wanted

(21:12):
to be traded. Um, you know, it's what happens that
the the hurt of losing that game is fresh, and
he just was being philosophical when he was asked about
the season and his future. But the bigger, the bit,
much bigger reason, which is way more important. It is
Jordan's love. When a team selects a quarterback of the
first round, and Rogers ironically went through this with Brett
fire of him and although he's had three years, you're

(21:33):
not going to be the quarterback for much longer. I
had said all along. By by contract structure, it's unlikely
they would trade him until after the twenty one season.
After the twenty one season, they're in good shape there.
There there's some dead money, but it's not as prohibitive
as it would be for now. It's kind of like
the Cars of Wentz contract that once is a little
bit worse with the dead money. It just it just

(21:54):
comes down to how badly you want the guy off
the roster. But how again, guys, you cat you watch football,
how long could your first round quarterback sit? It's just
it's in this day and age, it's unheard for the
guy not to play in year one. Um, and now
let me ask you this last one for me, Adam
Adam Kaplan, Fox Sports Radio, NFL insider at Jonas Knox,
Andy Firman here on Fox Sports Radio, what is the

(22:14):
first quarterback domino to fall? Because it feels like two
thirds of the league is up in the air as
far as where they're gonna end up playing quarterback next year?
You think Stafford's the first guy? Yeah? Um, just talking
to various teams and seeing where these things are going,
I really do think staff would be the first. Now again,
they cannot you could agree or trade. Remember they never
see anything like at the the Alex Smith trade three

(22:35):
years ago went down. There was an agreement at the
Super Bowl. I've never seen that in twenty one years
of coming in the NFL. Uh, so they agreed to
or trade and then it then it could not be
official until the start of the new league year. In
this case, I think it's March seventeen or eighteen when
it when it could be completed. But you could agree
to a deal that Stafford will go to X team
for X amount, but it cannot be official and it

(22:56):
can't be actually executed until he takes a physical. But
I only suspect Stafford could be gone within the next
week at least the tray could be agreed to with
the next week. They're they're a bunch of teams in it,
and I know they are couple teams are pretty hot
for him more than others, and um, I do believe
if if the lines are willing to wait a little
bit and continue to see what the market is, they
could get more than a first round pick. Leverage is

(23:19):
always to turn by how many teams are in it.
He's Adam Kaplan, Fox Sports Radio, NFL Insiders, Sirius x M,
NFL Radio as well. You can get him on Twitter.
Always a good follow, especially during this time of the
season and into the off season. At Kaplan NFL. Adam
always appreciated with do it Again next week. Thank you.

the Fox Sports Radio Studios German Oaks. Yeah, yeah you did,
and guy was street Andy. The guy was sick of
seeing you. He was tired of seeing you day and night. Yeah,
because every time every time you walk in, you had
your hands in your pocket and you're like, what do

(25:08):
you think of my cigar? I got free and donuts too.
Was it true that Andy was moonlining as a security
guard at Qualcom Stadium? He was that was looking for
looking for looking for an extra stamp. I want a
mature guy eight ball corner pocket from for Ball and
special son for What are all these drops? Man? I mean,

(25:29):

are all very, very gross and inappropriate drops. I don't understand. Andy.
When this pandemic does close up, you can at least
come out here and take Jonah, Sonia, Santa Anita or
maybe del Mar for a weekend. About that. I love that.
The last thing I want to do is go to
a horse track with Andy. You might end up in Mexico,

(25:50):
but no, we already lived there basically, so that much
of a difference. Uh. Knowing Andy's reputation at the horse track.
By the way, Furman, why do you pick it? Why
don't you give out a winner? Aren't there horse races
going on? Yeah? So why why don't you give out
a winner? And what's rock? You tell me? I don't,
I don't how do how do I know? I don't

(26:11):
know anything about horse racing. We'll get to that. They
do that for you. Offscript, Right there, guys. College basketball today,

bottom of the hour update here? No? No, no, I'm good.
I mean I do need a favor, though, Andy, Can
you duplicate what you're doing right now at the bottom
of next hour? Do that for me and for Jonas.
It'll make It'll make a lot of sense. Andy. You'll
see what we get there. Let's see what we get there,
Sami submarine. Okay, what is going on? It's really everything's

(28:25):
an innuendo with this guy. All right, uh Andy Furman,
Jonas knocks and he's in for Bucky today here on
Fox Sports Radio, and we are broadcasting live from the
Farmers Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called one eight eight
Farmers to switch and you could save a bundle on
your auto insurance. Coming up here in about twelve minutes
from now here on Fox Sports Radio. We have a

(28:47):
case of mistaken identity in the world of sports. All right,
but it involves somebody on this show. All right, so
don't go anywhere. That will be happening here on Fox
Sports Radio in about twelve minutes from now here on
fs are Uh so Andy from it. I want to
throw you my Jared Goff theory. All right. So I

(29:08):
have a theory and I want I want to just
throw this at you now. Um, Andy was I think
one of the first people to point out that, Um,
the best part about Jared Goff is that his first
name is not Jack. I think I think you were
the guy that that pointed that out at one point
Sports Radio. He definitely definitely is. Um. So, here's my theory.

(29:31):
Jared Goff. I believe that he's not going to get
traded and I think that the reason Less Need and
Sean McVeigh have come out so publicly in regards to well,
you know, uh, he's our quarterback for now and and
have been so open about the idea of trading Jared
Goff is because I think they're bluffing, and I think

(29:52):
they're trying to light a fire under his ass by
telling him he's going to have to go to camp
and actually win the job from John Woolford. Gary Oldman's
done double there in l A when they go to
camp in the summertime. That's what I think is happening.
I don't think say by going public, but let's sea
going public with their displeasure is a kind of a
roundabout way to send a message to Goff, and maybe

(30:14):
that's really what they want to do. They don't want
to trade, and they woudn't let GoF. No, he's got
to improve, he's gone. I think the forty Niners did
the same thing with Garoppolo last offseason. When you're general,
so you got this quarterback that is signed to a
long term deal, Jimmy Garoppolo, and this is a guy
who took them to a Super Bowl, similar to Jared
goff took him to a Super Bowl, and we can
say whatever we want about the Chiefs and Mahomes and

(30:35):
Andy Reid and how great they aren't all that, and
we'll have plenty of time to do that later, but
let's be truthful, Andy, Kansas City looked like crap in
that Super Bowl for a majority of that game. It
wasn't until the final six minutes of the game when
all of a sudden it completely unraveled for the forty Niners.
So if we're looking at that game and totality, San
Francisco was playing really well and Jimmy Garoppolo was out

(30:56):
playing Patrick Mahomes, and their general manager, John Lynch in
the off season comes out and says, yeah, we considered
bringing in Tom Brady. Of course we we had conversations
about Tom Brady. Wait what the only reason your general
manager and your boss comes out and says that publicly
is because he knows it's going to get back to
you and he knows you can handle it and we

(31:19):
need to come in and play better. Light a little
fire on the end. That's basically, look, Adam Catlin there
right on the head. If you're going to trade the guy,
why would you go publicly exactly it nless is the
opportunity that you have to trade him for talent. I
totally agree. I I just this seems too out in
the open and too obvious to just go ahead and
move on from him unless it's the most toxic situation.

(31:41):
It's hard to keep a secret in the NFL. Man
we we know. We know about Carson Wentz and his issues.
We knew about Brady and Belichick, and they're the most
tight lipped organization in the NFL and their dysfunction from
time to time. We started hearing about the Pittsburgh Steelers
and Antonio Brown and all that stuff and the like.
It hard to keep a secret. I'm telling you, I'm

(32:03):
out here in Thousand Oaks. There was nothing about Jared
Goffin Sean McBay not getting along. And and this isn't
something that all of a sudden would have just happened.
It had to have taken place weeks ago or months ago.
I think this is new. I think this is fresh.
And I think the Rams, in a calculated attempt to
try and get him to play better, have tried to

(32:23):
light a fire under him, as you pointed out. And
I think that's why they're taking this strategy, and that's
the possibility, the opportunity to get a Matthew Stafford. I
think they go for it, depending upon how much they
have to give up to get him. You know what
Rob Parker says about Matt Stafford, don't you know? It's
why I was saying it. I call him stad Padford. Well, look,

(32:45):
he's been in the NFL for twelve years and at
four winning seasons, but I think it's unfair to put
all that on his back defense no running game. Well listen,
it's not my business, is not your business. I don't
know why you gotta air out Matt Stafford like this
on the all right, we're just we're just trying to
have a conversation, trying to have a little bit of
fun here, and you got to you gotta dump all
over the guy. You're a real nasty individual, you know that.

(33:07):
And guy, his house is for sale right now too,
if you were just Matt Stafford is yes, yeah, but
where's it at at the at the Silver Dome downtown Detroit.
Yeah of course. All right, Coach Belichick joining us here
on Fox Sports Radio, Coach, where is Matt Stafford's house?
It's already been undressed. Well, we haven't really addressed it yet.

(33:29):
We'd like to hear more further details on it. Coach,
your thoughts on Matt Stafford in that situation, said that, Okay,
we haven't said anything, which is why we're trying to
get to the bottom of a Coach, do you think
that Matt Stafford is going to get traded within the
next week? I don't know what. Okay, Coach, your thoughts
on Andy Firman just as a human being? Anything else? Okay? There,
it is, all right, Jonas stocks Andy Firman here on

(33:51):
Fox Sports Radio sports the hallest guy interviewing any in
any sports. Well, don't worry. We'll get into your relationship
with Bill bella check, which is borderline stalker basically all right.
Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, we're going
to talk about a case of mistaken identity. But it's

(34:12):
mistaken identity involving one member of this show. Find out
what it is next year on fs ARE. Jonas knocks
stuck here with Andy Ferman in for Bucky Brooks here
on Fox Sports Radio. Coming up in a little over
ten minutes from now here on fs ARE, we are
going to talk about one quarterback strategy right now in

(34:33):
the NFL and how it's very similar to another's several
years back, and how that turned out. We'll get into
that a little over ten minutes from now on Fox
Sports Radio, and we are broadcasting here live from the
Farmers Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called one eight Farmers
and you could save a whole lot of something on
auto insurance. Before we get into this case of mistaken identity,

(34:56):
Andy Ferman, the great John Cheney um pa us away,
the longtime Temple head coach college basketball legend. And I
know you were a big John Cheney fan throughout the years,
weren't you? Yes, I was. And uh, the same thing
is about his legacy. It will be remembered him trying
to attack John Calipari. When you think about John Chaney,
isn't when he said, I kill you when they when

(35:18):
you're gonna hit your kid in the mound, I kill you.
When the Caliperi was coaching you mask beating like by
a point fifty sixty five and Calipari was questioning the
officials and during the press conference, Chaney runs into hold it,
I'm gonna kick you. You know what I'm gonna kill you.
It was great, man. That was That was when college

(35:39):
basketball was great. When you had when when the Big
East Tournament was around and you had that, there was
something different about it. It felt a little bit more rugged,
like those two guys, two coaches, uh, you know, potentially
coming to blows at a press conference and people. I mean,
it's just phenomenal, phenomenal stuff. So the great John Cheney
one of the great moments in all of college basketball history. Look,

(36:01):
people can say whatever they want about hill till Lightner,
they can talk about the the shot Villanova hit at
the buzzer to win the national championship a couple of
years ago. I would put all of that in a
distant second to John Cheney and uh John Callapari potentially
getting into throwing blows there at the surpassed. It's so good,

(36:24):
all right. So Andy, I was thinking about this, how
could we really showcase the greatness that is Andy Ferman?
All right? You know, because I know it and many
people know it, but there's some people who maybe aren't
familiar with the greatness of Andy. Yeah, and you guys
go back thirty years, Andy, you guys go back. We

(36:46):
go back along way as you and I we we
worked together for several years doing the morning show here
on Fox Sports Radio. So I thought, why don't we
do this a couple of times throughout the show. It's
a little something I like to call the firm and
flash back, and on the subject of college basketball, I'd

(37:07):
like to tell a little story as we do this
firm and flashback here on Fox Sports Radio about the
time when we had Miami had basketball coach Jim Larenegah.
So let me just go ahead and tell you what
happen here, all right, as everybody gets ready for college basketball.
I feel like this was the most appropriate with the

(37:28):
NFL going by by here in a in a in
a little over a week, I felt like this was
the most appropriate college basketball story to do outside of
the passing of the great John Cheney. We have Miami
had basketball coach Jim laranag on the show, and um,
he was very kind to get up early in the
morning and to talk some college hoops with us. So
we're having a, you know, a good talk, and so

(37:49):
Andy decides that he's going to open up the interview
like this, and I quote, you know, coach. I mean,
when I think about some of the the legend area
at onion head coaches. I think you you listed John Calipari,
what was yeah, and you said, um, you know, and
that now we've got Jim Laronega, and you said, coach,

(38:12):
coach Laronega, what is it about Italians making great head
basketball coaches in college basketball? And he said to you
on the air, I don't know because I'm not Italian.
Oh my god. And I just remember sitting behind the

(38:34):
scenes with the great Frank Pollock and he just covered
his face. I ran out of the studio. I was
so embarrassed. I ran the studio I was happening. And
what do you mean it happens? You confuse the guy
with it. He's not Italian. I think he's cupid. If
I'm not mistaken or something like like that, like whatever
it is, it's not Italian. And without even asking, But

(38:55):
he could have come back and said, he could have
answered the question why has so many Italians been great
band football coaches? He didn't have to say he was
an Italian. But you're you're asking him as if he's Italian.
He's not. He's so why would he know Itian? When
he made me look like a biggert schmuck than I am.
They could have just he could have just said, hey,

(39:15):
you know guys like Beatino Rasini kind of sca. You know,
there's a lineage, you know, Vitale. He could have gone
that way. Okay, okay, but but why would he bail
you out of your question about him being you didn't
you didn't get his ethnicity correct? Do you understand? Like,
why would he fail you out? Because he didn't want
to get it fad early in the morning anyway, So

(39:36):
he gave he joined us a couple of times. He
was perfect, he was fine. He hadn't he had. I
think he enjoyed it. Honestly, I think he enjoyed the
given God. Well, yeah, he loved being called Italian when
he's not Italian. Yeah, yeah, I know what he's talking.
I love being called Canadian, even though I've never been there.
That's my favorite thing in the world. That is Round

(39:57):
one of a firm and flashback here on Sports Radio,
Jonas knocks Andy Furman here on fs are coming up next,
we got more out of the NFL. A quarterback holding
strong next year on Fox. So there's a quarterback who
is actually taking a move that was used by another
quarterback years ago, and we'll find out how that one

(40:19):
actually worked out. That's coming up in just a couple
of moments from now. That guy right over there is
Andy Ferman in for Bucky Brooks. I'm Jonas Knox is
Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with us as
always on the I Heart Radio app and on every
single one of our Fox Sports Radio affiliates. Wherever you
are taking part in the program, we appreciate you doing so.

average of four hundred and seventy dollars on OTTO and inssurance.

to December. We are our two. What's up for bag?
How we feelings great? I didn't think i'd last this long,
but you give me a couple of shots to the
bow here and anore. I've heard that about you. I

(41:23):
heard that's that's very issue from submarine. By the way,
you got any horse races you're betting on right now?
You or what? No? I am not. You're unbelievable. You
know that. It's unbelievable what you do to me. I
mean really, I mean really, um all right, So so
for you're feeling good, it's our two lots of grab bass,
some shenanigans. Were you okay with that firm and flashback?

(41:44):
You can't believe you remembered, Isn't it funny? In the
world of sports talk radio, you know, guys come out
behind the microphone and they give you every bit of
information if and to tell what's gonna happen. They don't know,
they don't anymore, but they remember the things that are

(42:05):
so awthor like that conversation I had with Larenega. I
mean that's what people remember because they want to be entertained.
This is information and entertainment, informational. Hey maybe I'm in
the minority here, but I swear to God, I'd rather
hear you mistakenly call Jim Larenega Italian than here you
break down in Miami Hurricane game. I swear to God,

(42:27):
like I want to be entertained, Let's have some damn fun.
That's the way I look at things. And you know what,
I could easily do that for you. Yeah, I know
that you could absolutely sports nuts and you were supposed to.
When I hear these guys breaking down games and the
keys to the game, I turn it off because I mean,
you know the keys to the game. I can tell
you right now. The team that is the less turnovers,

(42:48):
you know, the team that rushes more. No, it's the
same keys every week. Stopping already, you're making me crazy. Yeah,
so let's so then let's get into some drama. Yeah,
because you're a guy Deshaun Watson is. He wants out
of Houston. He doesn't like it. He can't stand ownership.
He can't stand it's too toxic of a situation. Of course,

(43:12):
it's too toxic and it's dysfunctional and blah blah blah blah,
like all of the stuff that we've heard, and I've
been saying this, there's a race in sports media to
see who can kiss Deshaun Watson's asked the most, and
I do not. I don't want any part of it.
I don't want any part of it. The guy just
signed a contract four months ago and in while signing

(43:34):
the contract was emotional and crying. And who did he
think in the In his press conference, he thanked Bill O'Brien,
he thinked Jack Easterby. He even thanked the McNair family,
all the people that we've been told are the biggest
villains when it comes to Deshaun Watson in the Houston
Texans and the reason why he's got to get out
of there, I don't buy it. Man. If I'm the

(43:54):
Houston Texans, I say, tough balls, We're not trading you.
We we worked really hard to try and identify a
quarterback that we think can be our franchise quarterback. We
found him, we paid him. We're not trading you. I'm sorry,
I'm not I'm not I'm not caving into the pressure.
I'm not doing it. A man's word is his bond.
He signed that four year contract like a hundred and
fifties six million. He has a no trade clause. He

(44:16):
signed through. I mean, come on, you signed a contract.
You belong to the team, and that's the way it is.
You know you're not going anywhere. We don't want you
to go anywhere. But the point this president has been
set by other athlete. You know that. You go back
to two years in sports, even in baseball, what was
the big yell and screened players used to say, trade
me to play me, you know, so it's nothing new

(44:39):
in the world of sports. But please, aren't you a contract? Please?
Well it's the and and here's the and. The pushback
on that will be well, the teams don't honor the
contract when they release you, and I get it, but
this is a different scenario. They don't want to release him,
all right. They don't want him going anywhere he was.
It's why they got the deal done. And people keep
pointing out, well, they traded DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre Hopkins got traded.

(45:03):
Bro After he got traded, DeShawn signed the contract. It
was crying, thanking the organization. But it just it feels
like he's been coddled. The more people keep telling him
on social media how cool he is and a man
standard ground, the more he feels empowered to try and
make this decision. And if I'm the Houston Texans, I
do I say exactly what Nick Kissario said during the

(45:24):
press conference yesterday. We have no interest in trading him.
If I'm David Coley, I say the exact same thing
I said yesterday. I'm not taking this job unless Deshaun
Watson is the quarterback here. I believe he's going to
be the quarterback. I still think it's a long shot
that he gets traded. But Andy, you have intimate knowledge
of a situation similar to this because you are based

(45:44):
in the Cincinnati area. Yeah, Carson Palmer tried to pull
this same routine years ago with the Bengals. Phillisten, Yeah,
and Phillison, how this actually from start to finish, when
it started to go on the direction and what ultimately
ended up havingue with Carson, Well, he was he was
drafted by the Bengals. Obviously, he was the thirteenth all

(46:06):
time in passing yards towards ninety four career passing touchdowns. Uh,
he was a number one pick and the Old three draft.
He played for the Bengals from OH three until he
was traded to those Raiders in eleven and they announced
his retirement for football when Arizona back in eighteen. And
I've talked to him when he was in Cincinnati, and
this is basically what he said, not verbatim, but you know,
get get a gist at what he said. He says,

(46:27):
everybody in the NFL, people agents, ex players, everybody he
had talked to since retired and they moved on. They said,
you can't go to Cincinnati. You can't go there. It's
a graveyard for quarterbacks. That's what he said. And he said,
I was twenty years old. I was young, I was dumb,
I was arrogant. I didn't know I'm gonna go there.
He thought he was gonna make a difference. That's what
he says. I'm gonna go there. I'm gonna change it.

(46:49):
And he says, I realized at the time, I thought
it was all about players, but no, it's great organizations
get the right players. And Cincinnati is not and was
not a great organization. Okay. But at the same time,
didn't he sign a contract there in Cincinnati? Did? Okay?
So he got pissed, so so he he he retired.
He said, I'm retiring like I'm And and how long

(47:12):
was he away for? He was over a year or
how long was he because he did retire and then
he moved on to the Raiders and that was a disaster. Uh.
And then and then he went onto Arizona and he
played good football, but he but he was there in
Cincinnati for a long time, right, like he had gone
through the crap, and Deshaun Watson just got there like
he just And by the way, let's not even try

(47:34):
and compare the Houston Texans organization to the Cincinnati Bengals.
They've won the division for the last six years. They're
not the worst organization in the world. I've heard stories
the Tennessee the game last year. T J. Hushman's ona
has said on Fox Sports Radio before that when he
got to Cincinnati, they they had used jock straps like that.

(47:56):
They didn't even provide like the right stuff there inside
the holding. You know that. You know the Bengals organizations
get towels. That is that a story? What do you
mean you couldn't get towels? I mean, you don't towel.
It was It was bad. I'm telling you what. Marvin
Lewis changed that whole And I hate to use the
term culture because it was bad before Marvin got there.

(48:19):
Marvin he instituted a team chef that got the workout
equipment in there. I mean, Marvin really changed it around.
Didn't change it much in playoffs situations made the playoffs
for five years could win a playoff game. But he
changed the culture of that organization. Yes he did. You
know what. There was a loutical years ago in Sports
Illustrated this said the Bengals were the Siberia going to

(48:39):
bank since and I was like going to Siberia in
the NFL. Yeah, And and I guess who didn't help much?
You didn't help much of with with with your behavior,
trying to get everybody on the team. Fire didn't. Sam Wish,
didn't Sam Sam Wise, who passed away not that long ago,
former Bengals head coach. He drew up a play about
you did he did? Okay? What was the play? Uh?

(49:04):
I got a copy of it? Really, you know, I
tell you a story about Sam White and your buck
Furman was called you buck Furman. But the funny thing
about he had those rabbit ears. And I tell you
and I played with a pretty good We used to
have a traffic reporter to the helicopter traffic reports in
the morning in the afternoon, and uh and I and
I went on the air one day with the traffic reporter.
His name is John Phillips, a good man. And I said,

(49:26):
we're gonna play with Sam a little bit. And they
used to practice in this crap hole called Spinney Field.
You couldn't even breathe there was so toxic. Really, and
I said, I was in the helicopter and I'm taking
video and I'm sending it to the next opponent. Okay.
The next morning, Sam came up to the general manager's
office at the radio station. He says, I want this
guy atty. I mean he and the generalman is looking

(49:47):
at what are you talking about? They called me in
and he says he was in the helicopter with the
traffic reporter and he was gonna send it to our
next opponent. I looked at him at Sam, you know,
it's theater of the mind. I was on in that
he and and it was unbelievably. He didn't talk to
me for about a year. Really. Uh yeah, So that

(50:08):
that time in Cincinnati Bengals history, not a great time.
But when Carson, when Carson Palmer was there, I think
things that improved it. They made the playoffs. He got
hurt in that in that playoff game against the Steelers.
It's not it's not like so if we're talking about
the really dark days of the Cincinnati Bengals. When Carson
Palmer got there, things improved. They were a better football team,

(50:31):
They had better talent, they had better players, especially on offense.
There that to me felt like they were in the
right direction. But he had been told for years and
years that we were going to do this, We're gonna
do that, and nobody came through with it. The Texans
aren't the Bengals, yet, that's not the same situation. And
the idea that Deshaun Watson's gonna throw a piss fit
because he feels like I wasn't up, I wasn't told

(50:54):
about who we're hiring as a head coach, and you
didn't When does he? When do NFL teams run it
their players and their quarterbackccess to who they hire as
a head coach. Let's fast forward this a little bit.
You could almost put it the same scenario with Tom Brady.
Isn't that why he left New England to go to Tampa? Okay,
put a team around him. Okay, but he was twenty
years and alight like they they had done really great things.

(51:16):
A man, Deshaun Watson just got there. He just got
paid Tom Brady, and you have thoughts about a player's
input of a coach and or a GM When did
that come to pass? I just I have no idea why?
You know what the last time this happened, This is
a true story. You want to know why Mark Trestman
was named head coach of the Bears because it came
down to Mark Trestman and Bruce Arians and J Cutler

(51:39):
signed off on Mark Trustman. That's why that happened. Because
he sat down with both of them and they said, so,
who do you feel better about? And he said, oh,
I think I think Mark Trestman. And we saw how
that turned out. They were the diaper fire of football
for two years. Mark Trestman was a disaster and Bruce
Arians went on to have success in Arizona ironically with
Carson Palmer, and now he's in the Super Bowl up

(52:00):
a Bay. At no point, like do Scott Shapiro come
to you and I and say, hey, who are you
thinking about us hiring here? No, we we don't get taught.
That doesn't get run by us. We don't have that
much stroke within Fox Sports Radio. It doesn't trust me.
If I had any say, you wouldn't be here right now.
Let me tell you that right now, and thank God
for that unbelievable. You're unbelievable what you do to me.

(52:23):
I just if if I'm the Houston Texans, I stand
my ground. I'm not trading the guy. Sorry, not trade.
But as I as I said earlier today, I mean, look,
they were four and twelve with him. They can be
four and twelve with Adam and honestly, but by trading,
by trading that great receiver DeAndre Hopkins, I mean that
was that was move. Okay, Okay, see I totally disagree

(52:44):
because here's why you can't pay everybody. Okay, you can't
pay your tackle Aeremie Tunsil, your quarterback DeAndre your quarterback
Deshaun Watson, and your wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. They traded
DeAndre Hopkins so that they could pay for Deshaun Watts.
And and it's like people were forgetting They just they
want to take one situation and think it doesn't tie

(53:05):
into the others. No, it absolutely ties into the others.
And by the way, after trading DeAndre Hopkins, Deshaun Watson
had his best season of his career this past year.
If they won more games and had a better defense,
DeAndre Deshaun Watson is being discussed as an m VP candidate.
He was that good this year. I think we have
completely lost sight of what this situation actually is and

(53:28):
people just want to rally around and kiss Deshaun Watson's
And you're one of those people, like sick the dominoes
falling because now I'm hearing J. J. Watt wants to
go out to people, wants to leave a big deal.
Let him walk. Let me see what a real football
team is. Yeah, I gotta sit to Nattie. Yeah, that's
that's a good one. You can you can dig out
Skyline chili from Andy's gut rain Gunners. Yeah, that's what. Okay,

(53:55):
You're very good. You're you're real, real prized individual there
in Cincinnati. You are the great and Ferman, I hope
everybody listening here on Fox Sports Radio enjoys him spit
in the face of the Cincinnati Bengal organization franchise. Yeah,
what you had the Reds and you've got Dusty Baker fired,
So what do you want? You can't have it all? Andy?

(54:17):
All Right? Jonas knocks Andy Ferman here on Fox Sports
Radio from the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios coming
up next, though, one quarterback in the NFL has gotten
a break, has gotten a break. Andy Furman feels like
this is gonna lead to a lot more wins for
this quarterback. Find out what it is next here on
fs ARE Songs Stinks. He's Andy Ferman, I'm Jonas Knocks.

(54:43):
This is Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with us.
Who's always on the I Heart Radio app. Coming up
in about ten minutes from now here on fs ARE,
we will get into one quarterback's future could be up
in the air. This is a an m v P.
This is a big time name in the world of
football and his future could be up in the air.

(55:03):
We'll have that for you air in about ten minutes
from now on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, I
want to let you know we are broadcasting live from
the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios. Call one eight
eight Farmers to switch and you could save a bundle
on your auto insurance UM. We also will have the
IOWA Minute coming up later on this hour. So do

(55:24):
you think I want to Yes, yes, you think I
want to know? I don't want it. I don't I
don't want to do it. It's a paid segment. I
don't know who's getting paid. He pays to get it on,
pay me in booze or horse tranquilizers. So I can
sleep through it because yeah, I'm not not interested in all.
But we will be coming up later on in the show.

(55:47):
You can talk about how Art Long punched a police
horse back in the day. That's what you can do
from Cincinnati. Though. By the way, when when when those
Eagles fans were punching the East Horses a couple of
years ago during their playoff run, people said, oh my god,
those fans are crazy, and I was like, hold on
a second, you should ask Andy about Art Long, who

(56:09):
did it back in the day play basketball for University
of Cincinnati and the Bob Huggins and got arrested. And
we found that the day after the arrest was made
that he punched a police horse. I mean, why someone
would do that is beyond me. But he didn't. I mean,
I'm surprised you didn't turn that into Did you talk
about it after that happened? Did you talk about it

(56:31):
on the air? Oh? Yeah, And I went crazy because
I wanted to talk to the people at the zoo
and the animal people, the animal rights people, like you
give a rip about the horse. You couldn't care less.
You just wanted something to talk about. What a fraud. Alright,
So you think that Patrick Mahomes is getting a break,

(56:52):
all right, you think he's getting a great break. I mean,
no one's looking. I look at the glass always hilf full,
you know me full kind of guys. Every everybody's crying
that his offensive coined and Eric b Enemy he's left out.
He didn't get a job as a coach. Is only
one African American coach that was hired this year, sixty
year old coach Culley the only guy to be hired
in this coaching cycle right now, Okay went to Texas

(57:15):
higher in the end of day. But Patrick Mahomes is
gonna benefit by getting to keep his offensive coordinator. How
do you like that? I think it's a positive. Well.
And also I would say Josh Allen as well too.
He's gonna get to keep Brian day ball because he
didn't get a head coaching job anywhere. So yeah, I
think I think the continuity makes a lot of sense. Um,
Andy Reid, and this is gonna bother some people. They

(57:37):
don't want to hear this, Andy reads the play caller there,
So I think Andy reads the most important part of it.
But I do think keeping that continuity and keeping him
there with Patrick Mahomes is a benefit to Patrick Mahomes.
I don't I don't know if people realize how great
Patrick Mahomes has been to start his career. Like, like
we're talking his story. Remember when Dan Marino came to

(57:59):
the NFL, and you would remember this better than I would.
But when he and he and he came in and
just lit the league on fire and then had him
in a Super Bowl and they lost that Super Bowl
to the forty Niners, and then he never got back
to that point. And one of the great tragedies is
we nearly have the rematch of Bears Dolphins in Super

(58:21):
Bowl twenty, but the Dolphins and Dan Marino got beat
by the New England Patriots in the a f C
Championship Game. Thus we got Patriots Bears and that would
have been one of the great rematches and a really high,
highly rated game, but Dan Marino never got back to
that point. Patrick Mahomes has drawn a lot of comparisons
to Dan Marino just for this arm talent and the
way he's able to throw the football. Here's the difference.

(58:43):
Though he's three years as a starter, He's been to
the a f C Championship at least all three years
and has been to back to back Super Bowls and
has already won one. And the only reason he didn't
go to a Super Bowl for three straight years is
because of the time rules in the NFL, because they
lost the opening coin toss to the Patriots in the

(59:05):
a f C Title game a couple of years ago,
and because the Chiefs defense couldn't stop New England. Patrick
Mahomes never got a chance with the football. That's his
only loss of his playoff career. Like, we've never seen
anything like this, And so to keep that continuity and
Eric b Enemy staying there another year alongside Andy Reid

(59:26):
and all the talent they've got, and Travis Kelsey continues
to put on a Hall of Fame worthy career. I
don't I don't know if this is going to turn
into Tom Brady. I think it's a long shot it
turns into Tom Brady and the five six Super Bowls
and all that all I'm saying is is I don't
know that I can recall an NFL career that started
out like this, because you can say, well, what about

(59:46):
Brady want all those Super Bowls early on, true, but
they weren't winning those games because of Brady. That was
the defense. They were fantastic, and Brady slowly got better
and better. But you go to the first Super Bowl,
they didn't win that because of Brady. He had that
opening drive, but it was still a long field. I
think it was forty seven yards that minetarry at the kick.
Mahomes is doing something that I don't think we've ever

(01:00:08):
seen at this point. And I look at the way
they win games, and they get buried at times. They
were losing nine nothing several weeks ago, and they came
back last year zip and they came back. So they
get themselves in a hole, but Mahomes get them back.
That's how they win ballgames because the defense really until
this year was not that good. I always compared to
defense to a football team in the Big Twelve. I mean, why,

(01:00:28):
I don't know we need to insult him like that.
I mean that that seems a little bit out of line.
I'm not here to insult the Big Twelve either. So
you've you've now just insulted an entire conference in college football.
And I wouldn't do that. That's that's at But they
don't play defense. By the way, what is it Luke Fickle?
Is he the coach of Cincinnati. You guys still crying
in your skyline, chilly because you didn't get to the

(01:00:48):
college football playoffs. I said, they didn't deserve you. You
keep on playing the Austin PE's of the world. You're
not gonna go to the final four. You gotta up
the schedule. Next year, they're playing note your name in Indiana,
so we'll see what happens. Yeah, what about that one school,
Andy Pas Is that is that said? And yeah? Yeah,
they're playing the bed later all right, So here's so

(01:01:13):
here's here's what I'll say about Mahomes. So he's on
this trajectory to where I mean, he's already you can
argue putting together a Hall of Fame career. And that's
not I'm not saying that to to use hyperbole, but
he's already putting together sort of a Hall of Fame career.
If he beats Brady and they go on to beat him,
we're talking three years as a starter. He's got two

(01:01:36):
Super Bowls and one of them was against Tom Brady
in essence on the road at Tampa Bay. Whatever that
means with limited fans and the Super Bowl crowd is
really okay. If he well, I mean, yeah, that's a
packed house at Bengals games. But here's yeah, season tickets,
seasons invented, invented, social distancing popular, It's very good. There

(01:02:01):
is everybody, Andy Firm, And if you have any issues
with him tearing apart organization, he's right there. He'll be
illegally parked at the cigar shop in downtown Cincinnati later.
But I look at this, I look at this situation
with with Mahomes and with the Chiefs, and I go,
if he never if he wins the Super Bowl and
never wins another Super Bowl after, that's right. Yeah, I

(01:02:26):
think I don't even think it. I don't even think
it's a question just based on what he's done so
far in his career. And people will try and say, well, no,
but what if he you know, something happens and his
career has cut short. Patrick Mahomes with two Super Bowls
is in Yeah, I totally agree. All right, Andy Firm
and Jonas knocks here on Fox Sports Radio. You can

(01:02:46):
hang out with us as always on the I Heart
radio apps who come to be alive Here from the
Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios. One Quarterbacks future up
in the air. This is an m v P, a
multiple time m v P, a super Bowl champion, and
his future is up in the air. We will have
that for you next year on Fox Sports Radio. But
for all the latest from around the world of sports,

(01:03:07):
Tom broke up, who's on the updates today? Yeah? What's that?
What's have the help that they note that I've got
gas the gas Man? Gascon's coming up? Pretty excited work
with Andy today, gascons coming up coming? Yeah, Yeah, I

(01:03:31):
was really excited when I got that notification on a
tweet twenty four hours out from Andy that he was
working the next day. Andy, What do you do? Why
do you tweet so far in advance about the show
you're gonna be on? Because I'm afraid I'll get to
do it later on that top of mind? Really? Yeah?
And Twitter, can you can set a schedule for tweets
and when they get sent out. Don't tell me what

(01:03:53):
the dope I'm not. I'm telling you, don't tell you.
I'm telling you what you can do, not what you
should do. Listen to me. Andy, I'm just saying it
is an option. I mean you don't need you don't
need to take that approach. I mean, well, I'll do
it twice. I should have done it twice. Yeah, I know,
I'm very well aware of that. Trust me. Did you
send Jonas a rundown at three am? I didn't send

(01:04:13):
them a run down at all? Why not? I didn't
want to. Are you slacking all of a sudden like
he's already got he's already putting together a preview for
Super Bowl sixty four. I mean, this guy doesn't stop.
I mean, it's so far in advance, and I don't
know if it's your O C D. I don't know
what it is. But you need to get a grip
because you do the same thing. When's the last time
we went to bob Evans. I haven't gone a wamp

(01:04:34):
because of the pandemic. Okay, but you miss it, don't you?
I do miss it. I go for breadth. I used
to go every day for breakfast. Are you Are you
still sending a bunch of mail? Is that still happening? Actually,
here in the studio there's a boatload of mail and
it's just all from Andy Furman. Yeah, that he opens it, Edie.
Eddie Garcia refused to make a bonfire Eddie Garcia but saying, Iowa, Sam,

(01:04:56):
do you open your mail from Andy Furman? I do that.
That's actually how I knew the name of the play
that coach weis I sent you to play. I think
I provided information. Buck Ferman was the name of the
play because I opened the mail and saw that. I
have no idea what the play was, but I know
the name of the play. By the way, you want
to know what a knob Andy Ferman is. I got
a piece of mail from him one time. I opened

(01:05:19):
it up and it was the letter that Bill Belichick
sent back to Andy. Oh my gosh, what do I Okay,
what do I care? Andy? What do I care? What
original leather or was it a copy? I who care?
What does it matter? Why do I need to see it?
Just see you have proof of What about Jim? Didn't
you get one from Jim Harbaugh too? I think you
set me one from Jim Harpop. So it's wrong with you.

(01:05:42):
You're unbelievable. I mean it's unbelievable. Really, that is absolutely amazing.
I enjoyed the mail. I really liked mail, although my
wife tells me it's bad because it shows you that
you're out of touch with society. Everybody's using social mail,
But I like mail. I don't tell you why I
like it. You know why because a lot of times
you can get an email and it gets lost, so

(01:06:02):
you could just delete it to get But if you
get a piece of mail, you're more apt out of
curiosity to open it. That's the key that I appreciated Andy. Nobody,
Yeah you like Let Let me tell you something, the
story of Andy's life. All I did for a piece
of mail. Thank you. I should have been a mailman

(01:06:24):
and a mature guy. Oh actually, you know, let me
let me redo that. All all I all I did
for a piece of a mail. Andy Furman here on
is and they I have no idea. I'm simply just
trying to get to the bottom of your addictions, and
your mail addiction is is through the roof all right.

(01:06:47):
You know I'm seeing I'm getting helped now because according
to you know, the I heart media that you can
see a psychiatrist. So I'm getting help mental health professionals

Insurance Open done for the day. Final round is tomorrow.
Patrick read Carlos Ortiz I have a share the lead.
Each gentleman is at minus ten on the ice. Deuvil's
falling a shoot at at Buffalo four three was the five.
If I may ask, are you having as much trouble
as I am following college basketball this year? I'm just asking, oh, yeah,

(01:07:54):
I just I'm so focused on the NFL that it's
so yeah. But even so, I mean, like Cincinnati has
a Xavier, you know, Xavier University in the Big East.
Know what is Andy, right, they're playing? But the first
time they played in twenty one days. It's very difficult.
He treats me like I'm a foreign exchange student, like
I just is okay that too. So Yeah, by the way,

(01:08:18):
you're the guy who caused the fight between those two
teams years back. Yeah, yeah, you caused it. Youally caused
literally caused a brawl between Cincinnati and Xavier back in
the day. You did. Um No, I just look, I
love college basketball. It was my favorite sport growing up.
I do have a real tough time following it right now,
especially during football. There's so much going on with football football.

(01:08:39):
Football has become a year round sport, and this offseason
bad news. Yeah, with all the quarterback stuff, bad news
for college basketball. That's uh yeah, it's gonna be. It's
gonna be no college tournaments for college basketball too. So
who's gonna bomber man? But where the end They're doing
the entire n ci A tournament in Indianapolis. I'm about

(01:09:00):
an hour away. Yeah right, thank you. Yeah, let's go
live to our I've got something on college basketball. Let
me defend the entire sport insider Iowa Sam for the latest. Well,
you know, I love college basketball. Jones. Um I just
I wanted to add Andy. I thought that I could
have sworn that the Big Ten is going to do
the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis and then just stay
there for the n c A tournament. Are are they
really canceling the Big ten turns? I've heard no tournaments

(01:09:22):
at all. That's that's the list I've heard. Um onto
more important things. Uh, it is Jonas Knox and Andy
Ferman here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, we
are broadcasting you live from the Farmers Insurance Fox Sports
Radio Studios called one eight eight Farmers and you could
save a whole lot of something on auto insurance. Speaking
of farmers, the Iowa Minute is coming up in about

(01:09:45):
ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio. It's
a segment that I loathe here on f fs are,
but we will be having in about ten minutes from
now on Fox Sports Radio, Andy Furman. Aaron Rodgers quarterback
in one for the Green Bay Packers or no. I
say yes, And here's the reasons why. He started seven

(01:10:07):
years of age, very difficult for any club to take
him right, but he does still remain on the contract
with Green Bay till three. But the elephant in the room.
Here is the quote. A bet they drafted last year
Jordan's Love, who is still on that first contract, which
is by all means cheaper than going to that second contract.
So they gotta get Jordan's Love on the field sometime soon.
And it won't be next year, but it'll be in two.

(01:10:28):
Well here's the way I looked at some of his comments.
So Rogers came out and he just talked about you know,
the future and you know, it's a business and blah blah,
like just sort of gave some of the generic stuff,
and and Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider
pointed out last hour and he said, look, it was
right after a game. Um, you know, the wounds were fresh,
and we get all that. But it's not like he

(01:10:51):
walked back the comments. When he jumped on with Pat
McAfee during the week. I mean, he was saying, look,
I feel like I've said the same thing many times before.
And then a report comes out that says that Rogers
wants a new contract. I think, and I could be
totally wrong, it feels like he's trying to speed up
their decision making, Like what are we doing here? Like
are you guys, are you moving in the direction of

(01:11:12):
Jordan's Love? If so, cool, I'm gonna go somewhere else.
But let's get this thing done and figure it out
in a hurry. That's what it feels like to me,
because if he plays his ass off, and I have
no reason to believe that he won't come out and
have a great season. I mean, look at the division
he's in. The Lions are a disaster, the Vikings can't
figure it out, and the Bears stink, So it feels

(01:11:32):
like they're gonna run rough shot over that division again.
If he comes out and plays his ass off again,
then Green Bay is really going to have to make
a call, and they're gonna have to make a decision.
And if they decided that point, after another m v
P caliber season, to move away from him, they're gonna
get a lot of heat in the short term if
Jordan's Love comes out and bobs. Because the likelihood of

(01:11:54):
Jordan's Love being a franchise packer fans have no idea
how good they've had it all right. They went from
Brett Farve to Aaron Rodgers. Nobody gets to do that.
Nobody goes Hall of Fame to Hall of Fame. The
Colts kind of came close when they went Peyton Manning
to Andrew Luck, but you had the Curtis Painter experience
for one year in between. Green Bay had no let

(01:12:14):
off for thirty years. They've had great quarterback play. If
they decide we're moving on because of Jordan's love, it
puts the pressure on him. And I feel like Rogers
is trying to get ahead of it a little bit
and maybe put the pressure on even more. That's the
way I'm not gonna go back. I'm gonna talk about
the Tampa Bay Green Bay game, and I think that
game meant a lot more to Aaron Rodgers than the
Green Bay Pack As what do I mean by that?

(01:12:35):
His legacy right now? You know he'll be in the
same arena as as Peyton Manning. I mean, just can't
get over that hump. He's got to get to the
super Bowl. He's a hole of fame, there's no doubt
in my mind. But he's got to get over the hump.
I mean, come on, and and he's won in four
in conference championship games and he's not played well. And
and the one conference championship game he won, you know,

(01:12:56):
the Bears were on their third string quarterback in that game.
Cutler not hurt, Todd Collins got scared, and Caleb Haney
was the third string quarterback and nearly brought him back
and was driving him down the field in that game.
So he's he's had opportunities and not played well. You
can go back to the game at Seattle, the NFC
title game, which is one of the most gut wrenching

(01:13:18):
losses for for Packer fans that you could probably ever imagine,
just the way that thing fell apart in the on
site kicking all that. So yeah, I think I think
he sees his own mortality before his very eyes as
far as what his career is gonna look like and
how it's gonna be viewed. I just I think he's
looking at the organization saying, what are we doing here?
What's the plan? I'm gonna put him in the same
room with Lamar Jackson, Peyton Manning, and Clayton Kershaw. That's nice,

(01:13:41):
very good. So there it is, ladies and gentlemen. Andy Furman, uh,
he is the Ted Bundy of sports stock radio, just
wiping people out left and right. Jonas knocks Andy Furman
here on FS are coming up next. It is the
Iowa Minute, a segment that I can't stand, but it's
yours next year on fs ARE Yeah, maybe he is,

(01:14:02):
Andy Furman in for Bucky Brooks. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
I am Jonas Knox. Coming up here in a little
over ten minutes from now, we will get into one
coach in the world of football whose legacy could be
determined in less than a week and a half. So
we will have that for year. Coming up in a
little over ten minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio

(01:14:25):
and live from the Farmers Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Call Farmers Today for a quote, Andy Furman, are you
ready to experience one of the worst segments in the
history of sports stars. Wait, let me get my ear
plugs in, all right? You ready? Yeah? Well I thought
you had him in. I mean, I mean my air

(01:14:46):
plugs and I can't here. All right, It's time got
a minute like you give the damn. I'm now presenting
the most up to date happenings from Iowa's four Division
one teams, Ladies and gentlemen, thousand pigs. It's the Iowa Minute.

(01:15:11):
Here's Iowa Sam Oh god, Andy, despite Jonas just now
dragging the good name of the Iowa Minute through the
pig manure, through the muckety magoo. Have you ever had
the privilege, nay, the luxury of being a part of
the Iowa Minute? Andy, No, I don't think I have
never been on a show with the i Minute. I'm
happy to have you on board, Andy, because I'm happy

(01:15:32):
when I get to do the Iowa Minute. Thank you,
thank you. Disembodied voice from Field of Dreams. Friday Night,
Urbana Champagne. That heated rivalry border rivalry with number nineteen
Illinois hosting number seven Iowa. These were top ten teams
coming into the season, both trying to catch up to

(01:15:52):
the upstart Michigan Wolverines. Illinois and Iowa with a with
three losses in conference Michigan at eight and one. Only
one regular season meeting for these two teams, which is
a bummer, and this game lived up to the billing guys.
There were more than twenty lead changes in Illinois's first half.
Propellant was guard Ao Desumu, who had nineteen of his
twenty five points in the first half, including these three.

(01:16:17):
Here is right wing Friss draw Here he was great.
Brian Barnhardt Learfield i MG College forty one at the half, guys,
second half, back and forth. It went like a forest
gump against the Chinese and table tennis one possession game
with five seconds to go, but after center Kofee Coburn

(01:16:38):
missed a free throw, he got his own rebound drive
that Kofee Coburn sized nail into the Iowa's coffin. Coburn
knocks down both freebees and in Illinois wins eight to
seventy five. After the game, by can I get an
ivy of moonshine, please, bottle of Scotch and a handgun
for Jonas? Alright? Uh? Coburn knocks down both those freebes
eight to seventy five Illinois wins. After the game, Iowa

(01:17:01):
coach Fran McCaffrey was very unhappy, very short with the media,
one word answers and such and if this was the
Iowa Hour, I'd play some of that hilarious audio for you,
But last we don't have the time. Bigger story to cover,
all right, guys, moving on, Iowa State after their COVID
hiatus shorthanded and undermanned against Oklahoma State Cowboys one in
aimes on Monday six and The Cyclones are currently underway

(01:17:22):
against Mississippi State as part of the SEC Big Twelve Challenge.
And it's currently I don't know, I don't have the
game in front of me. Uh, and it's it's not
even really a game of of any matter. I was
gonna look it up, but pressing on here, it's a
season to forget names and guys. The Northern Iowa Panthers
have regained a bit of their mojo, beating the Sulucis
of Southern Illinois today Saturday on the road sixty two

(01:17:44):
and Coke College on Monday. Chaps not the astless kind.
One thing I love about the Iowa Minute, Yes, that
I get to talk about small schools in Iowa. Coke
College located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. That's Eastern Iowa to you,
not Midwestern folk. Gave the professional sports world the Buffalo
Bills all time third leading rusher. Can you, guys, guess

(01:18:07):
who that is? The Buffalo Bills all time third leading rusher?
He played in this millennium? Thomas who? Thomas Henry? Wrong? Andy,
you got a guess? How about this? Uh? Fred Jackson?

(01:18:28):
Oh God, you're right. Fred Jackson was a Coco Hawk
how about this wasn't his nickname fred X? I don't know.
I thought his nickname was Fred hell of a college
ballplayer though? What was that? David gascon? Oh, Freddie? What
he's talking about? Fred? He's chiming in on the intercom,

(01:18:48):
which hasn't help our on on era products here alright,
pressing on guys, Hey, what's this? This team just keeps
on winning? Uh? There fifteen and oh why aren't the
Drake Bulldogs ranked in the top. Why aren't they? No
one knows where they're at. They're in or his roverto
Flora's from the Ben Mallership Show, says des Moines. Uh,

(01:19:09):
finally we get this. We finally have a highlight. Yes,
he does, dis moins, we finally have a highlight. Lead
taken away and clears it out. It's going ahead to
Trammel Murphy and Trammell Dogs at home. Wow, look at
that highlight. Okay, I'm not even sure who that is,
but we'll just give credit to Drake Athletics. That kid
call him the game from a snipping back. Probably Bulldogs

(01:19:31):
just wrapped up a road tour at Missouri State. They're
fifteen and oh they swept the Bears. And that's your
Iyowa minute, mannek as it is? And what do you
think about that? The great Iowa minute there? And I
liked it, but I don't think I'd want to hear
it again. Not enough involvement of Andy Fermant right, I
didn't say that, No, not at all. We'll do the
Kentucky minute. And Andy Ferman can wax poetically about you know,

(01:19:52):
all the women's basketball games that he at Transylvania University. Yeah, Mr,
I go to minor league baseball game hims and and
and refused to pay for the Florence Freedom tickets. Well,
damn right, like an elephant too. From niced up Andy Furman,
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. We got more out of

(01:20:15):
the world of the NFL next year on FSR. Could

over there is Andy Furman in for Bucky Brooks. I'm

We are, by the way, before we dive into this
NFL conversation, Andy Firm and Deeed Gregorious. Doesn't John Sterling

(01:21:19):
of the Yankees because D D. Gregorious is signed with
the Phillies. If I'm not mistaken, that was the easy
about it. Doesn't John Sterling have a great D D.
Gregorious call back in the day or so there's there's
a little D D or something little D Yeah, something
like that. Well, I'm gonna go back because this is
really gonna get to you get under your goat. D D.

(01:21:41):
Gregorious was in the Cincinnati Reds organization. They let him go.
Who cares and there was there was well I'm just saying,
I mean that's how that's how they operate and It
was talked this year that they wanted again him back.
You know, who come up? Who cares? Here's the problem.
You think the world revolves around Andy Ferman's So I

(01:22:01):
don't think you think you think the entire planet revolves
around the city of Cincinnati and its surrounding parts and
Andy Ferman most notably. That's what you think. I mean,
it's I mean, it's unbelievable what you're doing to me here, unbelievable.
I love the Midwest, what can I tell you? I
know you do? You love the Midwest West kind of guy.
You are definitely all about the middle for sure. All right, So,

(01:22:23):
so Andy Ferman, we are a little over a week
away from Super Bowl fifty five. Yes, where's the hype?
Where's the hype? Well, I mean there's there's not gonna
be any Radio Row super Bowl week, so it's gonna
be really kind of kind of damn. I mean, is
not going to arrive till Friday. By the way, what
was the super Bowl was? It? Was it Niners Ravens

(01:22:44):
where you were nearly asked to leave Radio Row because
you were yelling too much in New Orleans. I think
that's I think that's a true story. I think you
were okay, you were only NFL TV that they had.
They had a booth right next to hours and we
were they like five in the morning. It was in
New Orleans. It was like Central time, five of the mine.

(01:23:05):
You know me, I get a little excited. So I
was like, you know, and they was saying like please,
I mean tell this guy to you know, tourne it
down a little bit. Yeah, but yeah, you went a
bit of above and beyond the call of duty there
in New Orleans. So yeah, they were not they were
not happy. By the time Friday rolled around. They couldn't
wait for to escort you off the premises. But well,

(01:23:26):
there will not be a radio row. There will not
be a radio road this year in Tampa Bay for
the Kansas City Chiefs in the Tampa Bay Bucks. That
game coming up obviously next Sunday. And you couldn't find
a better quarterback matchup in my mind than what you've got.
You were going to get a great one regardless, but
getting Brady versus Mahomes is a great quarterback matchup. And

(01:23:48):
then you've got the head coaching matchup. Bruce arians looking
for his first Super Bowl win as a head coach.
He had a couple with uh with the Pittsburgh Steelers
as an assistant. And then you've got Andy Reid, who
is slowly starting to make the case for one of
the great coaches in the history of the NFL, especially

(01:24:09):
be tax on another one. And I don't know about you,
but if he starts getting into two Super Bowls, he's
gone from questionable, borderline Hall of Famer to maybe a
top four or five coach in the history of the NFL.
And with you, do you think they're upsetting Philadelphia letting
them go to when they bounced him out of town. Okay,
let me tell you, I mean that was embarrassing. It
really was. Okay, well, first of all, they're handling of

(01:24:31):
head coaches for about the past seven to eight nine
years has been embarrassing the Philadelphia Eagles, and they they're
they're unbelievable. And and Chip Kelly, who got all sorts
of heat after he was taken out of there. Oh yeah,
they did the right thing. Good riddens. No, No, chip
Kelly tried to tell everybody, Hey, it's hard to do

(01:24:51):
the job here when Howie Roseman has the year the
owner and guess what, the same thing happened to Doug Peterson.
So as it turns out, Chip Kelly wasn't crazy. The
guy at a winning record, they told him to leave.
Doug Peterson won a Super Bowl winning record, told him
to leave. So yeah, they're handling of the head coaching
position is bizarre. But Andy Reid, who's gone to Kansas City,

(01:25:13):
turned around that organization. Even before Patrick Mahomes, they were
a really good team with him, with Alex Smith, they
won a bunch of games. Um they went to the postseason,
they couldn't quite get over the hump. But now he's
in his third Super Bowl. He's one and one so far,
with an opportunity to go to on one next Sunday
at Tampa. And all of a sudden, right now you're
gonna talk about Andy Reid in the same breath as

(01:25:34):
Vince Lombardi, Don Shula, Chuck Nol, Jimmy Johnson, Mike Shanahannah,
Bill Belichick and all those guys have won two Super
Bowls and the only one in that group that is
not in the Hall of Fame is Mike Shanahan. And
I gotta believe that's an all of a sudden, I
think he's going to be addressed. It's real. Soon he'll
be in the whole fame. Yeah, agreed. And and look,
as much as I hate the whole, you gotta want

(01:25:54):
a super Bowl in order to you know, be considered
a Hall of Famer and all that. It is just
a reality of the situation. I think Marty Schottenheimer is
one of the great coaches. And in the NFL, we're
talking top twenty coaches in the league, top ten, top twenty.
I think Marty Schottenheimer's right up there and wins. I
think he's got two hundred wins career wins as a coach,
if I'm not mistaken. But you know, the knock on

(01:26:14):
Marty Schottenheimer gets into the playoffs and and it would
turn into Marty Ball, and he would they would struggle
in the postseason. And this goes all the way back. Look,
the Cleveland teams that he had were really good teams
back in the late eighties. But when you know the
fumble by Ernest Biner, that's not Marty Schottenheimer's fault. You
know John Elway with a ninety eight yard drive, you

(01:26:35):
know the drive which I think forced overtime. If I'm
not mistaken, I don't. I don't necessarily put that on
Marty Schottenheimer. That's just bad luck. And then what happened
back in two thousand and six Slash seven with the
Chargers who were fourteen and two. They hosted they had
a buy, were the number one seed in the a
f C. We're hosting the New England Patriots, and the
Patriots went in there and beat him. And I think

(01:26:57):
it was Mark I think it was McCree if I'm
not mistaken, who fumbled the football. There was a turnover fumbled,
the football was knocked out by a Patriot and they
recovered it and then went on to win that game.
I don't put that on Marty Schottenheira, but you do
get the blame for your team's performances, especially in certain
spots in the postseason. Andy Reid was always considered a

(01:27:19):
guy who could get you to a conference championship game,
but struggled to advance past that point. He got the
Eagles into the postseason, then Dono mcconnab started barfing all
over the field on national TV. But since he's gotten
to Kansas City, completely revitalized that organization and that football team,
and now that Patrick Mahomes is there. Who knows, Man,

(01:27:40):
this may not be the end of of Andy Reid
going to Super Bowls and or winning super Bowls moving forward.
And I'll say this, you know you're you're correct on
all accounts that this could be the beginning of something big.
But I don't think that's healthy for any sports league
when you have one team that dominates. Because if you
looked at the NFL this year, dual perhaps maybe three
teams near the top obvious in Kansas City, I would

(01:28:01):
put maybe New Orleans over there in Green Bay and
the rest of the pack. I mean, you know, Pittsburgh
was a fraud. They started about eleven and oh they
were a fraud. But other than that, really, I mean,
it's not healthy for the league, okay, But what is
healthy is great quarterback play. And if Patrick, if Patrick
Mahomes is gonna be that great and they're gonna win
for a long time, I have no issue with it.

(01:28:22):
I'm sorry. It's up to everybody else to figure it out,
just like the Patriots figure it out. New England was
able to figure it out, and they had two separate
dynasties in the time that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady
were together there in New England. So I just I
look at this and I go, all right, Andy Reid
opportunity to win his second I already think he's All
of Famer. Do you think he's a Hall of Fame rights?

(01:28:44):
And I tell what you said something that was very intelligent,
which I hate to give you a compliment, but I'll
do it anyway. I mean, I'm sick and tired of
people have to earn the ring to get into Hall
of Fames. I mean, it's more than the ring is
the body of work. And certainly it's not a one
man show. But sports has turned into individualistic. Winning a
ring and that'll get you in there. And honestly, you know,

(01:29:07):
and we talked about Philip Rivers as a possible Hall
of Famer. I mean, Eli Manning, does he really and
truly belong in the Hall of Fame even though he
won two rings? I don't think he does. Philip Rivers
was a better NFL quarterback than Eli Manning, I agree,
should be a Hall of Famer. But but Eli Manning
will get in before he does. Of course, yeah, he's
gonna get in. Of the three of from that draft class, Roethlisberger,

(01:29:27):
Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning I think is third.
I would put Roethlisberger first, I would put Philip Rivers second,
I would put Eli Manning third. If I'm if I'm
ranking those and I think all three are going to
get into the into the Hall of Fame, I think
they're all I have had really good careers, but Eli Manning,
outside of those two super Bowl runs that they made,
and they were impressive, no doubt about it, he never

(01:29:48):
won another playoff game. He was he was one and
done every single playoffs other than winning the Super Bowl
those two runs that they made in New York. He
never won another playoff game. So we're gonna be honest
about it. Let's point out everything he struggled as well
too in the postseason. Um, Philip Rivers is going to
be a Hall of Famer. Who's the Kenn Anderson. There's

(01:30:09):
been some more that that guy should be in the
Hall of Fame. Kenny Anderson, a league MVP, led the
league in the passing percentage, and look, part of the
problem was who we played for, and certainly Cincinnat's a
flyover zone and they didn't promote him. By the way,
I love the idea of you telling everybody how much
you love the Midwest, but you just called Cincinnati a
flyovers out. Well it is when it comes, when it

(01:30:31):
comes to the national media and attention. You're real class act,
nice guy there. You know, people are simply trying to
enjoy their time. We're talking about Kenny Anderson, who should
be a Hall of Famer, and you get especially after
what I mean, first of all, you're the reason quarterbacks
leave that place, all right, just so you know, you're
the reason we don't I make that perform at a

(01:30:53):
different level. That's what I can't handle it. Kenny Anderson
wanted no part of Cincinnati because he couldn't deal with
your crap. Boomers. I Son wanted no part of Cincinnati.
I know he didn't like you, So Boomer wanted out
of their Carson Palmer retired to get away from you
so he could go all the way to the West
coast and play for the Crumby Oakland Raiders. Andy Dalton.

(01:31:15):
He loses his luggage on the highway and you gotta
make fun of him about it on national radio, and
then you just and then you just call Joe Burrow
peg leg because yeah, I mean He's like, he said,
come on, now, be nice to these quarterbacks. And you
know why I like Andy Reid. You know, there's as
if you've seen the movie The Natural, he looks like
the manager of the team, doesn't he. Yeah, that's what

(01:31:36):
it is. We appreciate, we appreciate it. Uh, Andy Reid
joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. So we'ren't agree
with Andy reads a Hall of Famer no matter what. Well,
there's no doubt I think that it will cement it
if he wins on Sunday. But if he loses, he'll
still be in and there's a chance that he'll be
back again. I think he will. Yeah, Jonas knocks Andy

(01:31:58):
Firman here on Fox Sports Radio, not Andy Reid, Andy Ferman,
that is. I get him on Twitter at Andy Ferman
fs are if you have an issue with anything on
the show. Uh, Now, don't don't tweet him at Andy Reid.
He probably won't get those all right, Coming up next though,
there is a puppet, all right, there's a puppet in
the NFL. Uh. It's like a fan trillo Quist where

(01:32:18):
they've got the hand up the shirt and they're telling
him what to say. Well whatever that you know, what
I mean. Yeah, it's it's a puppet. I mean, there's
a puppet in the NFL, and we're going to talk
about this puppet, and I'm gonna do it with my puppet,
Andy Ferman. Next to here on fs ARE. That guy
right over there is Andy Ferman in for Bucky Brooks.

(01:32:41):
I am Jonas Knocks Here on Fox Sports Radio. You
can hang out with us. Is always on the I
Heart Radio app coming up in about ten minutes from
now here on fs ARE, We're gonna go into the
gutter of sports talk radio. Literally, we're going into the
gutter Andy, you and I and all of us here
on Fox Sports Radio coming up in about ten minutes

(01:33:02):
from now. You're gonna need it. You're gonna need a
cold shower after that. Tell you that, right, get your
mind out of the guns. That's a good point. Yeah,
I forgot what I was talking about. All right? Uh,
do you want to let you know that we are
bringing you this fine program live here from the Farmers
Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called Farmers Today for a quote. So,

(01:33:25):
the Philadelphia Eagles have found their head coach. Now, you
and I touched on this briefly. Um, their success rate
when it comes to head coaches has not been all
that high. Philadelphia Eagles, Um, they they had Andy Reid,
they finished four and twelve. They decided to move on.
That's fine. Bringing Chip Kelly. He wins back to back
ten back to back ten win seasons, wins the division.

(01:33:48):
They struggle in year three and they fire him in
these five games over five, Okay. Then they bring in
Doug Peterson. Doug Peterson starts off. Okay, they go on,
they win a super Bowl with the backup quarterback, but
they run into some lean times and injuries and in
the quarterback regressing, and all of a sudden, Doug Peterson
five games over five for his career after bringing him

(01:34:09):
a super Bowl, and they move on. So then they
bring in Nick Sirianni. He's brought in to be the
head coach. Young guy. UM, I'm not gonna pick on
the guy for some of his you know the way
that he talked to try and get excited about the
press conference because I just don't play that game. But
let's listen to him discuss the quarterback situation in Philadelphia.

(01:34:33):
This was from Friday. We have a lot of things
to go through with his next couple of weeks of
evaluating the entire roster quarterback, wide receiver, defensive back. We
have two quarterbacks and Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts that
our top notch and a odd teams don't have any
Just really excited to work with both of them. Does
that mean that there will be an open competition at

(01:34:54):
quarterback if they both return? I'm not ready to say
that either way yet. We're just evaluating our players. We
don't know any of these guys really yet. So every
position that is going to be evaluated, and every position
is going to be open. I'm used to tell us
one way or the other whether Carson Wentz will be
back with the Eagles next year. Yeah, I can't answer

(01:35:16):
that again, evaluating everything, evaluating everything again. There's a lot
of things that go through evaluating everything. Oh man, I
just sweating, you know? Was that Howard Eskin like that
said it might be Howard Eskin who asked him that
final one? Can we play that final one again? I
almost pausitive. This is Howard askin. I'm used to tell

(01:35:38):
us one way or the other whether Carson Wentz will
be back with the Eagles next year. God, if I
had to bet that's askin if I had to bet
that's him, Um, and look if that's if that's our guy,
Anthony Gargano, he's going to get the answer. Our guy
Anthon Gargano is gonna get the answer there in Philadelphia.
But they're they're turning the screws. It's a different media

(01:35:58):
market and going to ask a bunch of questions. And
clearly the guy is not the most comfortable guy on
the mic, as as showcase just now, but also some
other comments an he made. I'm not going to pick
on the guy for that. Some people aren't comfortable on
the mike. Bill Belichick doesn't like doing that crap, and
he's at a pretty he doesn't say anything. But here's

(01:36:19):
here's what I would say about this situation. Did people
actually expect Nick Sirianni to go up there and have
hard answers as to what's going to happen with Carson Wentz?
He's there, he's basically a puppet like he was hired
because he's not going to push back against Howie Roseman,
who's calling all the shots there is the guy, maybe

(01:36:41):
not even Roseman, I think, but Lori and Roseman have
such a great relationship that those are the two guys
calling the shots there. Nick Sirianni is simply the guy
thrown out there, uh to answer a bunch of questions,
and no matter what he's going to say, it's going
to be picked on and ridiculed and all that. But
is the way to get it done? He didn't get
it done correctly, Okay. In Texas with the Houston Texas

(01:37:04):
he came out out the schmuck said, hey, look, I
have no idea. I didn't know that Shaun Watson was
going to be okay. Why is because you don't say that. Okay,
you get your notes together, you get together with the
PR guy, you get your notes together, you get some
talking points. And in Philadelphia, what he should have said,
you know, the PR guy should have said to him,
they're gonna drew you on the quarterback situation. Why because

(01:37:25):
Wentz was dreadful last year and they're gonna ask you
if he's coming back. So just say I'm gonna take
taken up with my coaches when I hired my staff.
That was the answer. Because if anybody needs tips on
how to deal with PR guys, you're the guy to
talk to you, right, Okay, yeah, mr, Mr who did
a Polish night at the horse track and had the
horses run backwards. Okay, and I'm not even that today. Yeah,

(01:37:47):
I'm not even making that up. And he also did
one one coll didn't in Buffalo Polish? Yeah you did,
you did? You did one one day at the horse track.
You had something called beat your wife Night by the way. Okay, yeah,
but but okay, but people misunderstood it. It was the problem. Okay,

(01:38:07):
what was the idea behind beat your wife night at
the track? You gonta program you and your wife, and
you picked the winners. And if you beat your wife,
you enterprize beat you at Night? All right, you're talking
about but you knew exactly what you were doing. Okay.
It was a play on words. Okay. So so if
anybody's gonna not take advice from anybody on PR, they
should not take advice from you, okay, because you don't

(01:38:29):
exactly know how to run this thing and all that smoothly.
So with that being said, like, I don't like, what
did they expect him to say about Carson Wentz that
was gonna make anybody feel better about anything? Can we
just be honest here, Carson, when this is what I
want to say. Honestly, we are somewhat maybe even behold
into Carson Wentz because of his current contract. It's a
cappit of almost thirty five million. He's not the shots though,

(01:38:51):
he's not calling the shots. This is a Howie Roseman
Jeffrey Lori thing. And by the way, we're forgetting something
and it's a very important part of this conversation in here.
Carson Wentz stunk last year. All right. I know you
love Carson Wentz and you love to defend Carson Wentz
and he's your guy, and you go and you and
you love because he's a redhead, just like you loved
Andy Dalton, who as a redhead. And I get all that.

(01:39:12):
So you love yourself some Carson. Okay, okay, Bozo, that's good.
All right. So this so Andy's three favorite red headed
quarterbacks are Carson Wentz, Andy Dalton, and Bozo the Clown.
You're a class act, real class act. If you are
a redhead insulted by what Andy just had to say,
you can get him on tweet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, get
him on Twitter. At the night Stocker is where you

(01:39:34):
can find Andy Ferman on Twitter. Of course he does
but just not a redheaded one apparently. But Nick Sirianni's
got nothing that he can offer that's gonna have any
impact on the decision. Carson Wentz is gonna be there
next year. Okay, this idea that that that he's going anywhere,
it's not happening. But of course Nick Sirianni is gonna

(01:39:55):
say we like both our quarterbacks because it's probably gonna
turn into a quarterback competition. Carson Wentz stunk last year,
He wasn't good, So what is he supposed to do?
Come out and say, Oh, Carson Wentz is our guy
moving forward. No, you're not gonna throw Carson Wentz to
have to earn his job back because he was benched
in favor of Jalen Hurds down the stretch. Because said

(01:40:17):
that there's literally nobody worse to take advice on what
to say publicly than you. Okay, it's literally like yeah, yeah, Mike,
Mike North joined I guess here on Fox Sports Radio.
North your thoughts on Andy Ferman. This guy is a terrorist, Mike,

(01:40:40):
Come on, It's like they're literally nobody worse. I mean,
you're the worst, the worst ever when it comes to
taking advice on anything. It's it's like, it's like that
guy Joey Chestnut telling you to get better manners at
the dinner table. Your slobby shoves food in your face.
You tell me about dinner mitt manners at the table.

(01:41:01):
Give me a break, But I just man. Nick Siriani
is simply doing what they're telling him to do. He's
he's yes, he's doing what they're telling him to do.
And anything that he would have said is not really
his opinion on it. It's whatever they're telling him to say,
because they're the ones that are making the decisions. No
matter what, he was hired, Yeah, because they could control him.

(01:41:25):
Doug Peterson would have handled that press conference differently, all right.
He would have said something that would have come off
awkward and people would have gotten upset about it. Andy
Reid would have done the same thing. Chip Kelly would
have done the same thing. Nick Sirianni is a young guy.
He got the gig, and he's willing to play nice
to do whatever it takes to keep the job because
it's his first opportunity to be a head coach in
the NFL, and those are rare opportunities to keep in

(01:41:47):
two years. Okay, all right there it is nothing but
support for again from Andy firm and here off Fox
Wort in Philadelphia, Please alright to and half year should
take the over the under, I take the over. So
you think he's going to be there. So he's so
under a right, so you think under two and a

(01:42:08):
half years he's gone. Yes, you know, it's so crazy
about the NFL. A fourth of the league almost fires
a head coach every single season. Just think about that,
a fourth of the league firing a coach. Like six
or seven jobs or eight jobs become available every single year.

(01:42:29):
That's why when when you see Pat Fitzgerald signed the
ten year contract extention, Andy, I would do the exact
same thing. But he's set for life at Northwestern. If
they have a couple of down years, it's okay, you're
just in a rut. We love you, You've got a contract,
and you're our guy moving forward. Why the hell? And
there was talk that Pat Fitzgerald got teams reached out

(01:42:51):
to him at the NFL level. I want to bring
him in. If you're Pat Fitzgerald, why would you leave
north I would I would want no part of it.
From there, he's a hero. Then they love him there
and they had a good year this year. Yeah, I
I just if I if I've got a good college
job like Kirk ference at Iowa. Al Right, Like he's
gonna be He's gonna be there for the entirety of

(01:43:11):
his career. You're not gonna have to worry about a
damn thing. Listen. I can't wait to get our guy
from Iowa out. So I know what it's like. I
know what it's like to want to dismiss Iowa from
the conversation. We deal with it every week. But I
think you made a great point about the coaches are
out after the year. But I think that shows you
how badly they want to win. They want to win
like now, they want to win yesterday. And that's a

(01:43:31):
good thing these guys, and that's why they You hear
these stories that these coaches work from like dawn to
one am, which is crazy. I don't know what you
get done between six am and one am. Well, we
know what you get done. But that's a discussion. But like,
like Marvin Lewis, you know what, I love that the
Bengals did. They actually they didn't look at Marvin Lewis
and say, oh man, what a what a failure. He

(01:43:53):
was because he didn't win in the playoffs. You know
what the Bengals did. They took a step back and said, yeah,
but look where we were. All Right, you can say
whatever you want about Rvin Lewis, but but after since
he's left, tell me the Bengals aren't thinking like, yeah,
you know, maybe we get we could have made a
you know, a different decision there. You know, I just
say a story about Marvin if I can. Okay, here

(01:44:13):
we go. Okay, you know, he's assistant coach at Arizona
State right now, and he's been up for a couple
of jobs. He was up for the Lion's job. I
thought he'd get the Lion's job. So you know me,
you know, I love Marvin Lewis, I really do. I
had a good relationship with him. He can't wrote a
letter to Mrs Ford and literally literally, okay, Marvin Lewis
can't stand you. Okay, I wrote a let it to
Mrs Ford. That was the kiss of death. And I
said he's the greatest, he's great with the media, that

(01:44:34):
players love him, he's a good guy. And he didn't
even get a sniff. He didn't get a sniff with
the Lions that killed me. He really get a second. Wait,
you wrote a letter to the Lions to try and
get Marvin Lewis hired. Yes, okay, Marvin Lewis doesn't like you,
Yes he does. And he's one of the few guys.

(01:44:58):

time or something we do on the show called this
get your Mind out of the Gunner Heights, the Best
Stories in the Gutter with David. What's up, gas man?

(01:48:18):
How about this? Let's go to Mexico, New Mexico Real
quick fellas. Twenty five year old man was apprehended by
authorities and the reason why cheeseburger he ordered at McDonald's
did not have cheese. He was so upset he went
around the corner, back through the drive through, confronted one
of the customer service reps at McDonald's, and then went

(01:48:41):
right to the street in the front of the line
and then pulled out a gun in the drive through,
a gun to one of the employees that was dishing
out the food because he didn't get cheese on his cheeseburger. Yes, yes, hey,
let me just tell you something, man, New Mexico. That's
that's rough, and it's it's not even just you know, uh,

(01:49:02):
what's what was the breaking bad of the TV show.
I remember I drove through New Mexico when I was
going across country to Charleston, and I just remember going,
this place has a feel to it, you know, like
and then you find out all, you know, some of
the great m m A fighters all trained there. Just
there's a different field there, Like it's it's a real
like that's a lot of badasses floating around the great

(01:49:26):
state of New Mexico. Yeah, you wouldn't survive. He wouldn't,
no no chance. It kind of feels like Stockton, maybe Bakersfield. Yeah,
there's a little bit of that. Although I just they
just wrong music was the red that was a breaking
bad theme? This isn't breaking bad thing? Why are you
playing the update she's Does that mean we have to

(01:49:51):
hear the intro to in the gutter again? But can
we drop the a Lee Hayley nice production? What is
happening here? This happened every week. I mean it's bad,

(01:50:12):
but it's not this bad. So the guy held out
a hand cannon because he didn't get cheese on his burger. Yes,
that happens. It happens. Reponse, He took the place in
a high speed pursuit with helicopters also chased him down.
True story. Guys, we go for New Mexico to New Jersey.
How about this? Um? A former Democrat mayor of Atlantic

(01:50:34):
City was just sentenced a couple of days ago thirty
days in prison and eleven months of home confinement. The
reason why, uh, he cheated out a youth basketball team
of eighty six thousand dollars. So check this out. He
was the co founder of the A C Stars Basketball Club,
which was a nonprofit that he incorporated to operate as

(01:50:57):
a youth basketball team and serve as a member of
the Atlantic City Council, and then mayor of Atlantic City.
The mayor basically sent out a notice to all soliciting
donations for the kids and individuals and whatnot, and Rod
eight six thousand, seven ninety dollars all that. You can

(01:51:18):
actually find that guy. He still has an active Twitter account.
It's at Andy from an fs are like him. So
he completely screwed out a youth basketball team. Yeah, yeah,
they were looking for school supplies, all kinds of things, obviously, uniforms,

(01:51:38):
an attire, the whole nine yards. But did you guys
play youth sports man? Some of those sports are expensive
as hell. Yeah. First of all, hockey hockey, Oh my god,
I had no idea. And there was like a couple
of hockey ranks in South Carolina when I lived there,
and I remember talking to my one of the guys
I worked with at the station, and him telling me

(01:51:59):
what it costs to play for a year on top
of all the equipment costs and all that. And I thought,
Jesus man, like that's crazy or even worse because when
they're kids, obviously they grow out of everything. Yeah, my god,
fur Ball, here's some good news for you. We are
all experienced in this here, but Fox News in l

(01:52:21):
A reported that outdoor dining in Los Angeles has reopened,
at least in l A County, but health department officials
are wait for it, banning restaurants from having their TVs
turned on for customers us. That is the Christ we

(01:52:41):
do things differently on here. For Jesus, what are they?
What are the subtitles on Univision gonna spread COVID through
the TV? What are we talking about here? Can somebody
make this make sense to me? I don't get it.
I don't understand in Let's go live too, I have

(01:53:02):
an explanation for why TVs aren't allowed to be watching
in southern California, but not for why the update bed
played underneath and they got her with gascon Iowa sat
to bring that. I sorry to comment, dear, you're a
segment here. Yeah, I know. I think it's because people
get together, they watch a game which is multiple hours.
They cheer, so they're yelling, and they're spending used I

(01:53:22):
can't turn the tables over. I used to want the
sports bar and I used to hate it. They get
their father in the afternoon, stayed untill one in the morning.
They don't get the tables turned over. They don't want you.
They don't want you to stay there a long time
and and and get out be in the same place.
But a game is like at least an hour and
a half to three hours. So what are we doing here?
I love how Andy turned concerns about a pandemic into

(01:53:43):
why he couldn't get more customers that his sports bar
back in the day, Because it's all about the guilt.
It's about the green cabbage. If they're spending money, who
cares they get a picture of beer and stayed there
all night. Now was that the Was that the sports
bar you opened up with Jose Rio? Yes, from the
sports cafe. Andy opened up a sports bar with Jose Rio.

(01:54:04):
True story. Yeah, he risked in peace. Do you remember
Jose Rio, Dave, VP of the World Series, him and
Andy Fermand. Yeah, I'd come in and nine and see
Jose and the boiling on the boat with the waitresses.
It was unbelievable. The old cork say bo right, I heard.

(01:54:27):
I heard Andy goes and hangs out with Patrick kanean
Wisconsin at time time too. Anyways, guys, we go from
that to uh one another difference scene in Mexico. How
about this a jealous wife actually ended up stabbing her
husband multiple times. Dave, I told you I didn't want
to talk about this on the air after fighting pictures
of him having sex with another woman. Here's the problem, guys.

(01:54:50):
She found that later on those pictures weren't of him
having sex with another woman. They were just older pictures
of her having sex with him. They were just taking
years prior to that, and a jealousy and rage. She
stabbed him anyway multiple times. So she had so she
had gotten so much worse that she forgot how she looked. Okay,

(01:55:11):
that's enough. Like hey listen, man, uh, I mean my
wife you're talking about like like like which, So she
stabbed him how many times? Multiple times? It's at no,
I don't do any death stories here. Yeah. Yeah, that
that's the one though, one thing he has restrained on.

(01:55:31):
Everything else is on the table. Last one before I
get out of here, guys, that UK woman was actually
being interviewed when TV viewers had noticed something. According to
BBC and The Sun reporting, a woman was being interviewed
basically disclosing why she felt so many people were being
passed over for jobs because the coronavirus. Here's the kicker
on this while she was being interviewed from home. There

(01:55:52):
was a certain sex toy that was hanging over her
in the in the back. All right, we end the
Gun and Life. Um, yeah, we've been there. Yeah. Well
then an ornament okay, oh I was Sam says we
need a wrap because he took over like this segment
for the last ten nights. So now we have to

(01:56:13):
get off the air. An ornament that was thrown onto
the field in Buffalo for a couple of times. Got
you all right, yes, yeah, I I catch what you're
throwing there, Dave, I got you? Makes all the sensible
over all right. We had to end this segment because
I was Sam wants us to. I just you know,

(01:56:34):
I'm just trying to land the plane here. That's all
I'm trying to do. On Fox Sports Radio. All right,
very good, Jonas knocks Andy Ferman here on Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up next. Um, a very very popular individual in
the world of sports and beyond, was outraged at one
member of this show. It's another edition of a firm

(01:56:55):
and flashback. Next here on Fox Sports Radio. I got
a thing about dead bodies. I hate that song. He's
Andy Ferman. I'm Jonas Knox. In for Bucky Brooks here
on Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with us
as always on the I Heart Radio app. Coming up
ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio, Brian

(01:57:16):
No and E from Salam will be taking over the
airwaves here, so make sure you stick around for those guys,
and here live from the Farmers Insurance Fox Sports Radio
Studios called one eight eight eight Farmers and you could
save a whole lot of something on Auto Insurance. Do
you have fun today, Andy? Do you have some fun
here for back? I'll let you know what about five minutes?
All right, very good, very good. Um. Now, earlier in

(01:57:39):
the show, we did a little bit of a firm
and flashback, because you and I go back a long ways,
and so there's a lot of stories and a lot
of things that maybe people aren't aware of or aren't
familiar with. Yeah, and so I remember we were having
a discussion and I want to say it was about
the fact that the Giants and the Jets playing New Jersey.

(01:58:00):
So the Metal Lands has always been in New Jersey. Uh,
and then you've got Metlite Stadium, which is in New Jersey.
So Buffalo is really the only team that plays in
the state of New York, even though they're both called
New York Jets and New York Giants. And I remember
we having this conversation on the air, and um, it
reminded me of yet another firm and flashback. So while

(01:58:24):
we several years ago on the air, we're talking about
the state of New Jersey, you decided that it would
be a good idea at that moment in time on
national radio in the morning to take out members of
the Jersey Shore. And you took a ball bat to
the Jersey Shore and you just completely laid waste that
show and and people on that show, on whatever. And

(01:58:47):
one of the people that you took out was Snooky
Snoopy of the Jersey Shore. You decided to make some
comments about Snooky. I'm working behind the scenes. And about
five min nutes later, Um, we had just gone to
break and the phone rings and I answered the phone

(01:59:08):
and it's Snooky's dad. I told you this story in
real life. It was her dad who called. Now, I
watched the Jersey Shore, so I know exactly what the
guy sounds like. Nine nine point nine percent sure it
was him. And he said, I want to talk to
the guy who just made some comments about my daughter.

(01:59:28):
I want to He was pissed. He was furious. So
I'm like, God, what do I do we get we're
not going to be back from break because we've just
gone to break and we're not gonna be back for
like five minutes. I annoyed, So I told him, and
of course, you know me, I want to stir the
pot a little bit. No, no, no, no no, I
told him, you know what, I agree with you, sir.
We should have this discussion on the air. So I

(01:59:51):
put him on hold and we're about a minute and
a half out from coming back from break. You have
no idea what's about to happen. I'm telling Frank Paul
like I'm telling every buddy, this is about to go down.
We're under a minute left to go before we come
back from break. And the guy hung up. But a
hundred percent that was Snooky's dad, who was ready to
go mine with the great Andy Firman Brooklyn Badass versus

(02:00:16):
the Jersey Shore could have played out close, but no
