Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. What a title? Are
you ready? Spread Darkness? The Prince of Darkness, The Prints
of Darkness is in the house of Jonas Knocks. The
story is Jonas Knocks. This well be God Like I said,
Judas Knocks is coming through your speakers like the right

(00:23):
cross from a boxer that you've never heard of. What's
going on here and now, live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, here's Jonas Knocks. You're really going through with this,
hun Cheese. I mean, there was all this hope in

(00:48):
the world. There was all this excitement. Everybody was talking
super full, they were thinking big things. And then to
start off June, the season might already be over and
we will get into all of that here coming up
in just a couple of moments from now, Jonas Stocks
Fox Sports Radio you can hang out with us is
always on the I Heart Radio app. You can find

(01:10):
us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country and
wherever the hell you are making us a part of
your Saturday morning. We appreciate you doing so. We're gonna
take you all the way up until noon Eastern time,
nine and Pacific right here on Fox Sports Radio. So
There's been a lot of excitement for one franchise in
the NFL. Now the excitement for this franchise in the

(01:32):
NFL is warranted because they do have a good roster. Uh,
they do have a lot of talent on this roster.
And this is a team that the fan base for
the first time in a long time is thinking, we
got a guy. We got a guy now. We thought
we had another guy, and we thought we had several
other guys before that, but this is the one. This

(01:53):
is the game changer. We have got a guy. And
we are talking super Bowl. Yeah, Well I'm talking They're
not making the playoffs. That's what I'm gonna be talking now.
Because the Cleveland Browns, who have felt really good about things,
I mean much better than than in previous years. But
they had Baker Mayfield, they had the whole the whole

(02:13):
crew there, Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry. There was talent upon
talent upon talent. They want a playoff game on the
road in Pittsburgh. And if you're a Cleveland Browns fan,
if you're Cleveland, being able to go into Pittsburgh and
beat the Steelers at home at Hines Field in a
playoff game, that says something. Then they go on the road,

(02:35):
they go to Kansas City. There in that game, Patrick
Mahomes gets dinged. He's wobbling around the field. He looks like,
you know, your buddy who's had way too many cocktails.
It's like Sunday Funday, except his Sunday Funday started on Friday.
And Patrick Mahomes is walking around going, oh my god,
has no idea where he is. Next thing, United was

(02:55):
at Chad Henny fourth and Henny comes in. I mean
Cleveland was in that game. Cleveland had an opportunity to
beat Kansas City on the road, back to back road wins,
and all of that was done with Baker Mayfield. And
you had thought, all, man, if they're gonna do this,
and then they upgrade at the quarterback position. Of course
we should be talking super Bowl. Of course, why wouldn't

(03:20):
we be talking super Bowl? But you see, there was
a reason. There was a reason that a lot of
places Las Vegas Bound, a lot of places in and
around the sports betting world didn't want to put a
season wind total up for the Cleveland Browns a couple
of months ago. They didn't want to do it, and

(03:42):
it was weird. Well, I mean, we know who they drafted,
we know what the schedule is, we know what's going
on with every other franchise. Why haven't we put a
season win to a loot for the Cleveland Browns. I mean,
I'm assuming it would be an astronomical wind total based
on what they've done over the past couple of years.
Last year, a little bit injury plagued and they brought

(04:03):
in Deshaun Watson. I just can't seem to figure out why. Oh,
that's right, because Deshaun Watson is gonna get suspended. That's happening.
And it's no longer a question of hey, you think
he's gonna get sit No, no, no. In fact, I
think it's more likely Deshaun Watson gets suspended for the
entire season then it is he gets suspended for a

(04:26):
couple of games. That is how much things have changed
over the past couple of weeks for Deshaun Watson and
the Cleveland Browns and their hopes for the two season.
Now here's the thing. We are not lawyers, right, we
do not have any sort of you know, law degree.

(04:47):
I mean, for God's sakes, if if you've listened to
this show long enough, you know I've I've done everything
from the rabbit chuck e Cheese. Uh, you know I
should say I worked as the rabbit Chuck e Cheese
sounded weird. Rabbit chuck e Cheese. He's a bus boy
at t G I Friday's. I've done construction, I painted curbs, landscaping, telemarketing,

(05:08):
I mean, you name it. There's not a job that
I probably haven't done in this world. But one thing
I do know is that if I were a lawyer
or I were an attorney and I was representing a
high profile client, the one thing I would make sure
to do if I was appearing on Pain and Pendergrass

(05:28):
in Houston, is I would make it clear that if
my client is being accused of, you know, being uh,
I guess we could say, um, not really a gentleman
while getting a massage. And he's got twenty two going
on twenty four lawsuits against him because of inappropriate behavior,

(05:52):
and he has claimed his innocence this entire time. The
one thing I know I would do if I were
an attorney and not the former rat Chuck E Cheese,
is I wouldn't say this during a radio interview in Houston.
I don't know how many men are out there now
that have had a massage that perhaps occasionally there was

(06:12):
a happy ending. I do want to point out, if
it has happened, it's not a crime. Unless you are
paying somebody extra or so to give you some type
of sexual activity, it's not a crime. Huh. Well that's comforting,
you know. It's good to know that my lawyer by defense,
you know, the guy trying to prove my innocent innocence,

(06:32):
it's talking about happy endings on a radio interview. I
don't I don't get it. So what did Rusty Harden think?
By the way, appropriate name to what did Rusty Harden think? Hey,
it's a Friday news dump. Let me go ahead and
see if I can work this one into the interview,
and then we could just walk away like nothing's gonna happen. Oh,
don't worry, buddy, everybody got it. Everybody is clear. It's

(06:56):
it's almost it's so egregious that it makes me wonder
whether or not Rusty hardens, like, you know what, I'm
tired of this crap. I'm not a Browns fan anyways.
Why don't I just sabotage the whole case? What the
hell are you doing. I mean, you talk about botching
an entire case, months and months and months of defense.

(07:19):
And then Tony Buzzby, who represents all the women who
have come out, And by the way, just so you
know I didn't misspeak, there were twenty two. Then there
were twenty three this week, and that's coming out Monday.
Just just so we're clear here, Rusty Rusty Harden's competition.
Tony Buzzby comes out and goes, uh, yeah, I think

(07:40):
he probably just single handedly lost the case in I
just based on that comment alone, I think he's single
handedly probably butchered his entire case for his client. Dude,
what else do you need? What? What? What else do
we need? Listen, I've been pretty consistent with this in
this the entire time. I've said something happened. Right now,

(08:05):
we can try and dismiss you know, while you know
some of these women they're looking for money. It's a
money grab, okay, all twenty four? All right? Uh? Well,
you know, I I just don't buy the story of
a couple of these women. Okay, So let's let's just
let's fine benefit of the doubt. What about the other
twenty one? What about the other twenty plus that said,

(08:30):
oh no, everything was fine. Deshaun Watson's got a problem.
He's got a problem. Let's just call what it is.
You want to call it a fetish you wanna, I mean,
we want to sit here and break down, uh, you
know his habits. You want to go through and read
some of the reports on each individual case. There's a

(08:53):
common theme here. He likes certain things, things that I
don't want to talk about on the air because I
like my job. Job. He's got a problem. His own defense,
who's recognized as one of the top tier defense lawyers
represented Roger Clemens, represented a bunch of other big cases.

(09:16):
His own defense comes out and it's talking about happy
endings in a radio interview. What are you doing. You
don't need to practice law, you don't need you don't
need to know a damn thing about the legal system
to know that probably was ill advised. And then he
tries to come out afterwards and said, well, you know
it's hypothetically speaking, all right, Well, hypothetically speaking, the Cleveland

(09:41):
Brown season is over. Okay, why don't we take in fact,
not even hypothetically speaking, the Cleveland Brown season is over.
And here's why. Deshaun Watson getting suspended, and I think
he's getting suspended for a lot of games, and I'm
calling it right now. I think it's more likely this
Shaun Watson suspended for the entire season than just a

(10:02):
couple of games, because the NFL has been put in
a spot where they got no choice that we don't
know how the civil stuff is gonna play out, but
from a PR standpoint, the NFL has got no choice here.
Their hands are tied. And right when you hear the
reports that the NFL is gonna be making their decisions soon,
Deshaun Watson proceeds to have the worst couple of weeks

(10:26):
from from a PR standpoint that he could have possibly had.
When the HBO Real Sports Special comes out a couple
of weeks ago, you knew he was gonna look bad. Okay,
there's gonna be a couple of women speaking and they're
gonna be telling stories. Not you knew it was gonna
look bad. You knew it, but you didn't expect some

(10:47):
of the details to come out. You didn't expect for
two more lawsuits to be filed based on women seeing
the Real Sports Special and going, you know what, now,
I feel comfortable to talk. You didn't expect all that.
You also didn't expect his lawyer to do an interview
in Houston and botch the entire case on a Friday.

(11:07):
So now the NFL is looking around going, Okay, we
didn't do anything last year. We didn't put him on
the exemple list. We've already said we're not putting him
on the example list. We we did nothing. A year ago.
Houston and him came to an agreement. He just wasn't
gonna play. It kind of bailed us out. But here
we are. We gotta make a decision. Oh, in Major

(11:30):
League Baseball suspended Trevor Bauer for two years. The NFL's
looking around, going all the pressures, honest, we gotta make
a call here. We gotta do something. And the more
that comes out, the more that they talk, the more
details you get, the more just becomes obvious to me.

(11:52):
The Browns are screwed because they're gonna be without a
starting quarterback that they ave two hundred thirty million dollars
guaranteed to two hundred thirty a record breaking contract, thinking
he was the guy that was going to deliver the
Super Bowl. I'm telling you right now, Cleveland's not making

(12:15):
the playoffs and what happens after this year. I have
no idea whether or not Kevin Stefanski gets gets viewed
differently because hey, look a couple of years he missed
the postseason, but he was kind of putting in a
bad spot. I have no clue. But they're not making
the playoffs because Deshaun Watson's getting suspended a lot of games.

(12:36):
And if you're the NFL, I don't know if you're
waiting around for more to come out. I don't know
if you're like, all right, well, let's just let Rusty
Harden talk. I mean, the more he talks will tack
on a couple more games. And Deshaun Watson's you know,
legal side or his his sidal dispute it uh, and
they'll try and uh, you know, they'll try and say, okay, well,
you know, you could suspend me all you want, but

(12:57):
we're gonna go ahead and try and get it negotiated down.
We're gonna appeal the suspension and maybe they get knocked
up a couple of games and maybe you'll all of
a sudden see Deshaun Watson pop up in week fifteen.
Who knows bottom line is it's been a bad couple
of weeks for Deshaun Watson, whether it's the HBO Real
Sports Special, whether it's the slow time on the calendar,

(13:18):
and people are starting to read back and look into
some of the things. Oh and by the way, he
offered up a hundred thousand dollars apiece as a settlement
to all these women. But why would you want to
settle if nothing happened. It's just like, none of this
adds up. It doesn't make sense. And you've already got
Deshaun Watson's and his and his team that have said, well,

(13:40):
you know, acts of sex did occur after the sessions.
But wait, when you were interviewed by Cleveland, you said
nothing happened because you had a girlfriend that wasn't your
I don't like the whole, the whole, the whole thing
is weird. It doesn't add up. And if it doesn't
add up, it's because the math is wrong. But there's

(14:00):
one thing I can assure you he's getting if you
want to talk math. Guys getting suspended for a lot
of games, and the Cleveland Browns are in an awful spot.
It's June what fourth, third, five, six, Who cares. It's
June and the Cleveland Brown season is officially over. That

(14:20):
is a rap. Jonas Knocks, Fox Sports Radio. Get me
on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks
on Twitter. You can hang out with us as always
on the I Heart Radio app. We're gonna have the
usuals coming up. Later on. We're gonna have another edition
of Do You Care. We've also got the scraps. It's
gonna be a little bit of grabass, some shenanigans, a
two hour extravaganza here on Fox Sports Radio coming up next.

(14:43):
You know these narratives people try and spin them. I'm
all about wanting to find the positive and things. I
really am. I don't know how you feel good about
a situation that took place in the world of sports.
But apparently there's a lot of optimism that I'm not
buying in too. It's yours next here on FS are

(15:03):
Jonas Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. All right, coming up
in Uh just unbelievable. Uh. Coming up ten minutes from now,
we are going to be getting into a story in
the NFL. Seems a little strange. Seems a little strange,
and look, I could be looking for a conspiracy involving
this story, but it involves a legend. We're going to

(15:25):
address this story in this situation coming up here at
ten minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio. Uh. Well,
we we are going to get to this um And
I don't know if it's a spin job or people
trying to find the positive in a in a story
that I don't think it's positive whatsoever in the world
of sports. And we're gonna get to that here momentarily.
We do have a developing situation inside the studio here
at Fox Sports Radio. Beautiful studios and for the radio

(15:47):
audience out there, let me just get and paint the
picture for you. It's a beautiful studio, beautiful here, uh
in southern California, beautiful Sherman Oaks, California, all right, at
a place where you know, at a given time you'll
see everything from somebody going to yoga uh and uh
and somebody who is homeless. It is just one of

(16:08):
those things to where you can find something for everybody,
a little variety here. I mean, what do you are
you hungry? What are you in the mood for? You
want some fast food that is overpriced? Or do you
want whole foods, which is always overpriced, or do you
want to go to a liquor store, which is never
a consistent price because they adjust those depending on how
long the candy bar has been sitting on the shelf
for There's everything you possibly could want, uh from a

(16:31):
sports talk radio studio. One of the developing situations here
at Fox Sports Radios. On one of the television's uh,
it's the show Cheaters, which is where, um, you know,
people find out that they're better haves are fooling around
on them. They hire a camera crew and then they
go and bust these people. Uh and uh. On this

(16:53):
latest edition, which just so happened to be here when
I walked into the studio, it was a woman who
found uh, her better half, her spouse, her boyfriend, whatever,
in a hotel room with another woman, and he was
dressed up as a woman. So Rob Parker joining us
here on a Fox Sports radio, Rob kind enough to

(17:16):
spend a couple of minutes with you here obviously TV star,
social media star, shopping star, radio star, the odd Couple
with Chris Brussard. You hear every single weekday here in
weeknight uh seven Eastern time, four o'clock Pacific. Rob, if
you were this guy who was caught in drag by
your better half fooling around on her, what would be

(17:37):
your response. I'm a woman. Thank you. By the way,
you can get Rob on Twitter at Rob Parker FS one.
I believe fs r F s r R one. Okay,
clean that up in the podcast, please, thanks coach. I

(17:58):
mean the guys dressed like a woman. I I don't
like to tell you, like, I don't know what's worse
being caught in never mind. I didn't want to go
down that road. All right, So, um, I understand Jonas
Knocks Fox Sports Trading. You can get me on Twitter
if you have any complaints. You just want to compliment
the show like people normally do at the Jonas Knocks.
At the Jonas Knocks, all right, I don't I understand

(18:19):
the need to be positive. I really get it. There's
a lot of negativity around here. You go on social media.
It's like you if you put your Twitter down or
your or your snap face or your Insecure Graham or
fake book or whatever whatever app you're you're a big
fan of. Now, if you put it down for any
longer than twenty minutes and you open it back up.

(18:41):
It's like a barbecue that you forgot was still warming
up and you open the lid and and it almost
catches your face on fire. You feel your eyebrows disappear.
I it's just you open it back up. There's so
there's a lot of negativity on social media. So I
understand that people want to spread a positive word. I
get all that. But if you are somebody trying to

(19:03):
find the positive in what happened game one for the
Golden State Warriors, I mean, uh, sober up, dude, Like
I don't know what to tell you. I just like
this whole well, I don't worry about and and by
the way, uh, if you're wondering whether or not Game
two is coming up later on tonight, oh, it's not

(19:24):
because the NBA does this little trick where they play
game one, uh and then game two shows up about
forty five days later. So it's you know, they want
to make sure travel time, everything else to go along
with it, because you know, Sunday night at at eight
Eastern time, you know they want to make sure there's
no competition whatsoever. What shows you how confident they are
in the ratings for their league. But you've got it.

(19:45):
It blows my mind that anybody can watch what happened
in Game one between the Celtics and Warriors, and you've
got Draymond Green afterwards pointing out the guys that did score,
the guys that that that were hitting their shots, and listen,
now those guys won't be able to do that again.
So yeah, we're not worried about it. You lost. If

(20:08):
you lose three more times, it's over. I don't like
this idea that there were nothing to see here. We're
not worried. We're not. We've been here before. No, you
you kind of haven't. That's the point. This hasn't happened
at home. But that's why that was a big deal.

(20:30):
And it wasn't like you got beat. You know, it
was a buzzer beat or a half court shot, and
it was a heartbreak. I mean, that would be bad enough.
Game one, Uh, you know, buzzer beat, you get screwed
on a call, that would be bad enough. You completely
crapped yourself at the most crucial time of an NBA

(20:52):
Finals game, when all you kept hearing about was the
Warriors experience in the NBA Finals versus the Boston Celtics,
and you blew it like this idea that everything's gonna
be fine. Guys, don't worry about it. Nothing to see here.
I get you want to find the positive and stuff.

(21:13):
I totally get that. But this isn't round one, it's
not Round two, it's not even the Western Conference Finals
against Luca and the MAVs. Like the Celtics were one
of the best teams in the NBA for months before
the postseason, They've been tested multiple times in the playoffs.

(21:36):
Nobody wanted to play Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Celtics
got him, swept him. Nobody wanted to have to deal
with Janice in Milwaukee defending a title. Celtics beat him
in seven. They went into Miami and lead wire to
wire in Game seven on the road, Like, do we

(22:00):
just we just we will ignore all that and don't
worry about this is the Warriors cool? And the Warriors
just took a crap in the fourth quarter at the
most crucial time of the game. And I'm seeing people
just listen the likely to those guys doing that again?
You know, maybe they don't need to do it again.
What's the likelihood? Jayson Tatum is going to go three

(22:21):
of seventeen. How likely is that? Probably not likely, based
on what he's done the entire season, based on what
he's done in the postseason. Like, it's just this, Oh,
we gotta find the positive, Like I get it. It's
great to find the positives, all right. It's it's great
to find, you know, the silver lining. It's great to

(22:43):
want to feel good about situations. Like, look, if you're
a fan of a bad football team, all right, For example,
the Jacksonville Jaguars, you know, a bad football team, and
it's been a bad football team for a long time.
But don't worry about it. It's all Urban Meyer's fault,
you know, Well, we'll blame up Admire for everything. Jacksonville
is a bad football team. Like, if you're Jacksonville, the

(23:05):
one thing you can take from last year, right, that
you can feel good about, is we eliminated a team
from the playoffs, right, the Indianapolis Colts the final week
of the season, and we did so dressed up as clowns.
That's something. They had a clown out. They dressed up

(23:28):
like Bozo and company showed up to a football game
at a stadium where they got swimming pools in the
top deck and they play some of their games in
London because nobody cares. And you beat and eliminated a
team from the playoffs. That's finding the silver lining. That's

(23:49):
a bright spot, trying to find a bright spot in
defecating away potentially your chance at another NBA title because
you melted down in the fourth quarter. I don't know
how you feel good about it, but hey, bravo to
anybody given it, given it an honest try. Congratulations. I
hope it works out for you. I just think that

(24:11):
was a much bigger deal than a lot of people
are trying to play it up to be. Jonas Knox,
Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the Jonas
Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. All right, so
we're gonna try and get to the bottom of a mystery.
This is an NFL mystery, very strange, and I just
wonder if there's more to the story. We will get
into that story coming up next here on fs are

(24:31):
but for all the latest from around the world of sports,
ladies and gentlemen. This is a man who has got
three separate thrones here at Fox Sports Radio. He's got one.
In the update studio. He's got one at the gas

(24:52):
station across the street. We're right now. You can fill
up and get a tank of gas. All it's gonna
cost is two point three million dollars. And the third
throne is at said liquor store where I once bought
a stick of the odorant that gave my armpits an infection.

(25:13):
I present to you Radio Royalty. Sirriza Blone also got
two and a half thrones at home. By the way,
I take you know what rounded up three. You've been
known as the King of the teases. I'm gonna give
you a tease of my own right now, can I
can I correct you? Hey, it's your show, sports Talk
Radio's greatest stripper, King of the Tease? How about that?

(25:36):
Huh oh okay, I get because you know in some
places you know never mind, no, I don't know. Actually,
So here's here's the here's the tease. Uh you have
just basically you are basically a gateway drug to me.

(25:58):
I'll tell you why I come up from you know that.
That's right up there. That's the second best compliment I've
ever gotten. I'm a gateway drug. A second to Mike Harmon,
who once told me, you know the thing about you
is my what said, he goes, You have this ability
to bring the absolute worst out of everybody. Thanks man,
he goes. We get into conversations that I don't know

(26:21):
how we got here, but we're just here. I'm like, yeah,
that's what we do. It's fun. You know what. This
relates absolutely to the reason you're a gateway drug. So
that's the teas will pay off. After telling you about
the ladies singles final at the Front Open, eighteen year
old American Coco Goff going up against Egas Fiontick of Poland,
twenty one years old, the world's number one players. Fiantick

(26:44):
took the first set six one, led five three in
the second set and add championship point. Hey, Jonas, have
you ever heard tennis play by play on the radio?
All right, let's hear championship point on Roland Garros Radio
from E. G. Salmon. Listen the look up to the
skies to look across at the opponents, the slight pause,

(27:07):
the rock back to reach up in the servit championship
point out why the fuehand from golf is deep? It's
too deep, and Egos Fiontech screams and she's down on
her knees and the Rolling Girls play a massive spin
on the face of Egos Fiontech the world number one.
She is unstoppable right now. Also unstoppable so far, at

(27:29):
least in the NHL's Eastern Conference Finals the New York Rangers.
On Friday night, they defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning three
to two. The Rangers lead the series two games to none. Baseball,
the New York Yankees just reinstated GIHN Carlos Stanton from
the ten day injurid list. On Friday, Garrett Cole of
the Yankees had a perfect game, going for six and
two thirds innings against the Tigers before it was broken up.

(27:51):
Yankees wanted to win at thirteen to nothing. Joe Musgrove
of the Padres had a no hitter, going for seven
and two thirds innings against the Brewers before it was
broke good up. San Diego went on to win the
game seven nothing, and Dodgers picture Tyler Anderson improved to
seven and oh it had a six one victory over
the Mets. Now, onto you, jonas I mentioned earlier, I

(28:12):
accused you of being a gateway drug. Uh. You earlier
in this segment alluded to the television show Cheaters. I
had not thought of Cheaters for many, many, many years.
I used to as a guilty pleasure. Watched that show,

(28:34):
and you just reawakened it, and I've fallen back on
the Cheaters wagon, and You've sent me down the rabbit hole.
People of this generation do not understand how wonderfully terrible
or terribly wonderful that show was. And among the things
that struck me as the Cheaters show, camera people with lights,

(28:55):
the host, the person who has cheated on busted into
the cheating man or woman or whatever. The host of
the show would conduct a impromptu post cheating interview, if
I could call it that. I was stunned by two things.
Number One, that the host of the show and personnel

(29:15):
on the show were never stabbed and killed, because this
invariably took place at a sed motel. Right, okay, but here,
I'm glad you mentioned that, because I want to bring
this up. I'm almost positive the host of that show
did get stabbed once. Act if I'm not mistaken that.
First of all, that's incredibly impressive that you knew that
over the top of your head, because I actually just

(29:35):
looked that up, and what happened was I was the
guy who was caught. Sorry and which time? Which time? Buddy,
I'm sorry. So I looked it up and apparently, apparently
the stabb apparently the stabbing on the boat was actually staged.

(29:59):
So you were right that there was stabbing on the
boat on a show, But according to that great source Wikipedia,
the stabbing was staged. By the way, Sam wanted to
make it make it clear that Joey Greco was the host.
He whispered that, in my ears, that's who was my favorite,
because they've had multiple hope, they've had multiple hosts, but
for me, the only host of that show was Joey Greco.

(30:22):
So as this is going on, he would try and
conduct a post cheat interview like you would see a
sideline reporter interview a player on the field after the game.
And as you have sent me down on the rabbit hole,
I've got a sample of that post cheating interview for
people of this generation who might not be familiar in

(30:43):
this kind of Can I just say this real quick,
it's your show, you I know, but I'm not rude,
al right, So there's a lot of people just like
to talk over everybody, and they're insulting. I'm not that guy.
I just I wanted to point out um as much
as I want to dismiss Iowa Sam for clarifying that
Joey Greco was the host of Cheaters as if anybody
care airs, I'm glad he did because I nearly called
him Al del Greco, so I was gonna call him

(31:05):
Richard Griko from twenty one Jump Street. By the way,
all right, so let's let's hear this is uh, alright
getting stabbed or no? No, this is the post cheating interview,
and in this particular UH scene, he is interviewing the
woman that the guy was cheating with. And the woman

(31:26):
was the cheat ease best friend, so she was cheating
on her best friend's guy just got caught. And here's
a brief glimpse for people who are not familiar with
the show of how wonderfully terrible or terribly wonderful Cheaters was.
Do you have a reason why you did this behind
behind Carl's back? Would Well, you are pretty much did,

(31:49):
didn't you? You know what? Hey fair question to ask
as a follow up, I mean, what do you what
would you prefer? I just do it out in the
I mean, come on, I've got I've got enough class
and dignity to not make that mistake. I mean, listen,
hey man, I don't know what he got paid, but

(32:11):
whatever it is, they're still showing reruns and and so
he must be getting royalties. I mean, there's uh, this
is just what a what a weird show that that? Now?
I think these are the newer versions, which yeah, and
there they look fake, but I got it. That was
a fake stabbing. I thought that was real. I'm gonna
have to do more research, you know what. I'll do

(32:32):
more research and get back to you. But I'm gonna
go back down to the back down the rabbit hole.
Talk to you later. Very important stuff, Isaac. Well, listen,
I want to make sure we have time. We'll investigate
if there is a situation in the nfl um which
is a little odd. Brett Musburger is out as Raiders
radio play by play guy. Um, I just I don't know.

(32:54):
I'm wondering. And again, we will get into this at
the top of next how because we have Do You Care?
Coming up next? But I just wonder if there's more
to this story, you know, I wonder if there's more
to this whole Brent Musburger story because it's kind of odd.
It's it's a typical Raiders Friday news dump. They've done
this a couple of times. Uh. It just something doesn't
feel right about it. But we will investigate. We will

(33:16):
try and get to the bottom of that, you know,
potential conspiracy going on in the NFL and what it
could mean for that entire franchise. Coming up top next hour,
about twenty minutes Fromount Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. Get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas
Knocks on Twitter with important stuff like whether or not
these stabbing on cheaters was actually real or it was staged?
All right? Coming up next, who wants to be negative

(33:40):
and make fun of a bunch of stuff that people
are excited about that are worthless? It's do you care?
And it's yours? Next year on FS are Second Down

(34:23):
I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get
your podcast from. Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio coming up
top of next hour a little over ten minutes from now.
Very strange, very strange offseason for an NFL team. Uh
and uh and I just wonder if there's a little
bit more to the story. We will get into that

(34:44):
for you coming up in a little over ten minutes
from now, top of next hour, which would be eleven
am Eastern time, eight o'clock Pacific here on FS are
a lot of a lot of positive feedback on the
show as well too. Uh and uh, well by positive,
I mean not positive at all based on some of
these uh, some of these reports and tweets and uh,

(35:05):
you know, little tidbits that have been sent over seat
can keep keep those coming at the Jonas Knocks at
the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. Uh and We've also got
major updates, major updates on a on a discussion we
were having a short time ago, which we were going
to get to her shortly as well. Right now, though,
it is time. It is a tradition for something we
do every single week, and it's called this. There's so

(35:28):
many stories in the world of sports, and most of
them are a complete waste of time reports. Let's get kinky.
Here's some of the big stories from the last week.
But Jonas, the real question is do you care? And
for that we turn it over to a man who
has once dubbed on this network a better looking Joey Chestnut.

(35:50):
I present to you Ryan Burr Shinger Bursch. What do
we got? The Lakers hired Darvin Ham has their new
head coach, Jonas, Do you care? No? I don't. I
love how everyone's like. Man, the Lakers got it right, man,
They hired the right guy. Oh yeah, what is it?
Does Darvin Ham have a medical degree? Does he specialized
in physical therapy so he can get those guys back

(36:11):
on the court when they're injured? I get news for you.
Does does anybody in laker Land And by laker Land,
I mean Southern California media. You ball washers who fanboy
out for that franchise. I'm just curious, do you guys
really think that Anthony Davis missing all that time and
Lebron James's injuries and Russell Westbrook not being able to

(36:32):
shoot was Frank Vogel's fault. That was his fault. Okay, alright,
have faun with that. Next, Kevin Durant took shots at
Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharps get Bayliss on Twitter, Jonas
do you care? Yes? Because I love it so much. Look,
I I love Kevin Durant. I think it's hilarious and
I love that he had. He just wants to go

(36:53):
on social media and if he's got a problem with something,
he's just gonna call it out and he'll make burner
accounts and admit to him like has no shame, Like yeah,
yeah burners, So what I checked stuff out? What's the problem? Anothering?
I guess. I mean he's not he's not breaking any rules,
he's not getting in trouble. He's just stirring it up

(37:14):
a little bit. And for people in the media who
gets so offended, like there's like if Kevin Durant criticize me.
I'm like, you know what, that's fair. Guess what because
we criticize him all the time, all the time, and
then when somebody bites back at us, we get salty
and offensive offended, like, oh my, like, you've got better

(37:35):
things to do. You're a star. What are you doing
coming after me? Dude? You can't play this game where
you can take shots but you can't receive fireback that
these are the rules. This is where we live by
Kevin Durant is playing by the rules. Next, the Phillies
fired Joe Girardi, Jonas do you care? No? Next, Ryan

(37:59):
fitz Patrick retired and he may be taking a job
with Amazon for their football podcast. Jonas du care? Yeah? Patrick,
what a great career. You know, he was like five
or six picks away from not being drafted in OH
five and the only I think the only other quarterback
who's still in the league from that draft class is
Aaron Rodgers. Dude played seventeen years, nine different teams, made

(38:23):
almost eighty four million dollars in his career as a
seventh round pick. I think he's going to be an
absolute star on Amazon. If I was in network, I
would figure out a way to to sign him immediately.
I think he's gonna be fantastic. He's got the personality,
he's got the humility. I think people are gonna love
Ryan Fitzpatrick in this next part of his career. Next,

(38:46):
speaking of Aaron Rodgers, him and Tom Brady won the
match against Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Jonas du care No,
I don't listen, um Bursch. You and I grew up
in Ventura County. Alright, the hate O five Connor, we're
talking here, Okay, the hate five and uh and the
music is gone because Sam is gambling on Iowa's over

(39:08):
under wind total for so he's got to make sure
he gets at it. But we grew up in a
place called Ventura County. Uh. You know, ox are where
the Cowboys go practice at training camp Thousand Oaks, where
the Rams are located. Here is Ventura County, And there's
a place there called golfing stuff, and golf and stuff
is like miniature golf. They got wind meals, windmills, you

(39:30):
wind meals whatever the hell that is? Uh. You you
hit a ball to go through a clown's mouth and
comes out the other side, and that lands in a
boat and the boat all of a sudden goes down
into a harbor and it's all this goofy stuff. That's
what the matches. It's literally multi multi, multi millionaires playing

(39:51):
mini put in Las Vegas, and I'm supposed to give
a rip. I'm supposed to care about that. I don't
next great and is celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, observing
her seventieth year of rule as the Queen. Jonas, do
you care, no, what is the Platinum Jubilee? It? But

(40:12):
it isn't jubilee? Is that like Cajun food jumble? Okay,
jubilee jumble? Well, it's like a couple of letters difference.
Who cares? By the way, Jonas, the locals over in
Britain are calling it the platte jubes platty jube, platty jubes. Yeah,
you know, you got I would be careful saying that
on the radio. I'll be honest with you. I think

(40:34):
you're talking about another region. Just uh, you know, like
if you couple a couple of letters. Here. Fox Sports
Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Catch all of our shows at Fox sports radio dot
com and within the I Heart Radio app search f
s R to listen live. So it's a very strange

(40:55):
offseason for one team in the NFL. We will get
to the bottom of it, because look, I'm not trying
to start a fight. I'm not trying to stir things
up or piste off a fan base. But there are
some things that need to be addressed. We will get
all of that here coming up shortly on Fox Sports Radio.
Jonas Knox with you here on fs are you can
hang out with us is always on the I Heart
Radio app. You can find us on hundreds of affiliates

(41:17):

neon and Eastern time. Here. All sorts of wildness has
taken place here on the show. We have talked about

world of sports and beyond some of the watching habits

(41:40):
of people inside the studio here. UH. The television show
Cheaters is still on, still on, UH, and apparently it's
a Cheaters marathon. H so so there is this is
just great stuff here. So we've got more on that
whole situation coming up later on the show. If if
you're wondering, if you're just tuning in, by the way,
and you want to know what you missed, trust me,

(42:02):
it has been people have been ecstatic over the performance
that we have put on here thus far in the show.
Like David who writes in quote on Twitter, you flaming
perv bleep, quit targeting built beefcakes around so cal to
complete your happy ending and bleep, You've got a major problem.

(42:24):
F boy. Brian writes in get back to your daily ritual,
which is whipping out your micro bleep and bleeping it
to your boy toy Joey g sexual deviant needs to

(42:45):
be castrated already. I am outrageous. So if you have
a more positive feedback, can get me on Twitter at
the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. Uh
and uh just uh it's uh, it's unbelievable, all right,

(43:06):
so we will Uh it's just oh man, Uh, I
just love it. But I told you if you are
a sensitive person, if you are insecure about certain things,
I wouldn't have a social media account on any level whatsoever.
It is a problem. It is an absolute problem. So

(43:26):
this this was put out there yesterday that, um, it's
kind of interesting and some people may look at it's
like a big deal. Breton Musburger, Uh, the the voice
of the Las Vegas Raiders. By the way, I literally
in a matter of two seconds, I went from calling
him Oakland to Los Angeles and then settled on Las Vegas.

(43:48):
Because I'm a professional broadcaster, I can do those things. Uh.
Brent Musburger um is no longer the radio play by
play guy of the Raiders, and um, he went on
social media d and said many thanks to the Raiders
organization for the fond memories. I'll miss my broadcast partner,
Lincoln Kennedy and the radio production crew. What's next? I

(44:08):
hear Mike Trout might step down as commissioner of his
fantasy league. You ever know? So obviously having fun with
the Tommy fam Jack Peterson Mike Trout Fantasy football conversation.
A couple of things. Number One, Lincoln Kennedy has broadcast partner,
longtime host here at Fox Sports Radio is awesome, like
one of the genuinely good dudes that you will ever

(44:30):
meet anywhere, and a massive human being. Lincoln Kennedy shakes
your hand and it like goes around your entire forearm.
Just a massive human being and a gentle giant, total
sweetheart love Lincoln Kennedy. This situation with Brent Musburger seems
a little strange. Here's why. Now Raider fans and people

(44:54):
in the media are gonna say, well, I mean, come on,
Musburgers eighty three years old. I mean, like, of course
they would move on on. He just got there a
couple of years ago. So what it was okay for
him to broadcast games when he was eighty, but now
that he's eighty three, that's the tipping point. Okay, listen,

(45:14):
we'll hire you at eighty years old, but once you
turn eighty three, Yeah, listen, we gotta go our separate ways.
It's a little strange. And this is the same offseason
in which you've got, you know, uh, the Raiders firing
their team president on a Friday, and then less than

(45:34):
twenty four hours later it comes out that, uh, the
team president says, well, you know, I was reporting Mark Davis,
the owner, and I was saying to him that there
were some issues with you know, women filing complaints about
the Raiders organization and just sort of how this this
is all played out. You've also got the John Gruden
stuff that happened last year with the Raiders. You've got

(45:56):
to it. Just the whole thing seems a little odd.
It just seems a little odd. Now. Brett Mussburger had
these comments, right, He had these comments about John Gruden's
firing by the Raiders and the the information that came
out during the email scan where apparently the NFL went

(46:18):
through six thousand emails and the only thing they found
was John Gruden saying bad things which cost John Gruden's job.
And now he's taken them to court, and now they're
gonna have a discovery period. Uh, the NFL lost their appeals.
Now we're gonna get to find out all sorts of information.
But Bret Mussberger had this to say. One scrutin was
fired earlier in the season. As I told coach, whoever

(46:41):
took you out John, that was a paid assassin. Okay,
that was one of the best hit jobs that I've
been ever been around. Okay, they didn't they didn't go
to their media gumbas, they didn't leak this to Adam Schefter,
one of those guys who brick stories. They first went
to the Wall Street Journal and where Gruden was still coaching.
After that, then they dumped the rest of it on

(47:03):
the New York Times. That was a professional hit job. Mhm.
So bred Musburger comes out defending Jon Gruden, and then
a few months later he's out of a job because

(47:24):
right after John Gruden wins an appeal in court, and
we're going to get to find out all sorts of
funny stuff between the NFL and those emails and all
the other things. Huh. Kind of strange, right same offseason,
the team president is now out. It's it's just it's

(47:46):
kind of strange. The timing of it is a little odd.
Now again on the surface, people that want to you know,
not you know and and and if we're gonna, you know,
kind of get into the conspiracy realm. I mean, we
do have a live studio band here. They perform a
couple of things. They play clown music and also the
Unsolved Mysteries theme. Live studio band. Don't worry about it.

(48:08):
Everybody is massed up and they are six ft apart, uh,
and they're all undressed in trench coats, just like Robert
Stack from back in the day. Um, it just it's
a little odd that all of this has taken place
in the matter of a few months, and Brett Musburger,
who came out publicly defending John Gruden, is now out

(48:31):
of a job after John Gruden and his legal team
wins a major decision in court a week or so
ago against the NFL. It's just odd, and everybody's gonna
sell you this again. He's eighty three years old, Brett.
I mean, he's eighty three. It's time to move on.
The Raiders need a new voice. You hired him when

(48:52):
he was eighty one, Okay, like the idea that eight
three is the cutoff point. Hey listen, man, everything appropriated
eighty one years old. The second you hit eighty three,
it's over. Dude. It doesn't add up. It doesn't make sense.
I'm not I'm not going full throttle on a conspiracy.
I'm not saying one that Brett Musburger is out of

(49:16):
a job because of what happened with John Gruden and
him defending John Gruten publicly. I don't want to go
it's just the timing. Seeing how the Raiders have handled
other reports and other decisions they've made where it's been
a Friday and they've told their team president, you gotta go,
and then that guy comes out with it. It just

(49:36):
feels a little bit suspect to me right now. Maybe
Brett Musburger got a little bit of coin and they
told him, Hey, look man, I mean, you know, why
don't you uh, if you could just go, you know,
we need to go in a different direction and all that.
I just I wonder if a lot of this is
tied to the fact that Brett Musburger spoke out in
defense of John Gruden a few months ago, right and

(49:59):
if you want to criticized Brent Musburger for for defending
John Gruden based on the email stuff that was in
the emails about de Morris Smith and all that, we
all agree Gruden said those things. Uh, they're egregious, not
a good look. He absolutely said those But when the
NFL comes out and they clip a guy based on

(50:20):
information they find and then try and claim that in
six hundred thousand plus emails that was all that was there,
it doesn't add up. And it's exactly why we're gonna
get to the discovery period on all that in court,
and unless the NFL comes at John Gruden and offers
him a big time settlement and says, hey, let's just

(50:40):
go ahead. Here's here's a bunch of cash. We get it.
The Hooters sponsorship is done. Uh, you lost it with Corona.
You're not gonna be a broadcaster anymore. All of that
has gone. Here's a bunch of money. Why don't we
just go ahead and keep quiet? Here? John Gruden's going
to court. I hope he doesn't settle, because we're actually
gonna get some answers as opposed to what the NFL

(51:00):
has tried to tell us. And I just wonder if
Brent Musburger defending him is part of this thing too,
is part of the reason why he's now out of
a job and no longer the radio play by playboys
of the Raiders. And by the way, it's not for performance.
Brett Musburger, much like al Michaels, can still get it done.
Al Michaels hasn't lost a step. Neither is Bret Musburger,

(51:24):
which is why I don't buy the story that that
we're gonna be sold. Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio Get
me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks at the Jonas
Knocks on Twitter. We're gonna take you all the way
up until the end of the hour at nine o'clock
Pacific time noon Eastern time right here on FS are
coming up next. We are going to um address something
that somebody in the NFL had to say. Somebody in

(51:45):
the NFL had something to say earlier this week. Uh.
And although I understand the point they're trying to make,
they're not alone. Several teams will be featured. We're gonna
get into that for you right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Really sed Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up about Jesus.

(52:07):
Look at that. Uh uh one of the stunt Douvils
from The Walking Dead just walked by the studio. Nice,
nice to see you, buddy. All right, coming up in
about ten minutes from now. Uh, we we get oh man,
we will get to uh, you know, some some good
stuff in the world of of football. Of course it's football.

(52:30):
Why wouldn't it be football, But some good stuff A
little peek into the future here, uh in a story
in the world of football. We will have for you
coming up again the bottom of the hour. About ten
minutes from bottom of the hour, by the way radio
term for thirty after about thirty after. You know, yeah,
well listen, Steve, you know you've been in the business years.
I mean, why not, you know, Steve one of the

(52:52):
great Steve Hartman kind enough to join us here. Rob
Parker joined us earlier, popped on for a second. We've
heard from you know, Bill Belichick at one point during
this show, a lot of people I'm the devil. That's
very very appropriate. Uh, why don't you play that on
a Sunday. See what the listeners have to say as

(53:12):
they're leaving. Yeah, thank you? All right. So, um, there
was a you know, a comment made by a Tim
Patrick of the Denver Broncos who was discussing the Broncos situation,
and he called their situation in the NFL Super Bowl
or bust. And I understand that you want to have

(53:34):
these high, lofty expectations and we look, we we've talked about, uh,
you know, teams in the NFL that could be in
for a rough year and teams in the NFL based
on schedules that could be it could be a little
bit problematic. Um, the New York Jets and their fan
base went after you know, my partner in crime Brady
Quinn earlier this offseason because he said the uh, it's

(53:56):
gonna be a rough time for Zach Wilson. It's like, oh,
you're a Zach Wilson hater. It's like, no, look at
their first nine games. Where's the win? I mean, like,
the Jets opening nine games, nine ten games before they're
bye week. There's a real chance that Jets are gonna
be oh and nine to start off the season. Just
look at their schedule. It's awful. The Jets are in

(54:19):
a terrible spot. And people got all offended by it, like,
oh my god, just just such a hater. It's like,
it's dude, it's it's not being a hater. It's a reality.
The situation when you open up your season and you
get Baltimore at Cleveland, Cincinnati at Pittsburgh, the Dolphins at
green Bay, at Denver, New England, and the Bills to

(54:41):
open up your season, where's the win? All right? So
there's certain teams that are in a really tough spot
heading in the next year. The Denver Broncos. It feels
like you look at them and you go, all right,
that is a team that added a quarterback. You talk
to anybody who knows the NFL, anybody's watching the NFL,
they'll tell you that Broncos roster is really good. But

(55:04):
that's a really good roster. They've got weapons on offense.
They just couldn't figure out consistency at the quarterback spot.
And that was part of the reason of Vic Fangio's frustration.
So Russell Wilson comes in. Now, some of Russell Wilson's
you know, Broncos hype videos are just so corny. I mean,
he like, he is so cheesy at times, like cringe.

(55:28):
I don't know cringes the right right word you want
to use, but it's just, uh, it's over the top
with Russell Wilson. But nonetheless, guys a hell of a
football player, first ballot, Hall of Fame or Super Bowl champion.
And so when Tim Patrick, the wide receiver, comes out
and says it's Super Bowl or bust, I disagree because
I feel like Russell is gonna be there. He's got
enough time. Um, he's not going anywhere. He's going to

(55:53):
get an extension if Denver doesn't get it done this year.
I don't feel like that's a wrap on on the Broncos.
I still feel like, hey, you got your quarterback, you
got some time to work here. You know, Peyton Manning
was with the Broncos for four years. It's not like
they want a Super Bowl every year. They want a

(56:13):
Super Bowl once his final year when his body was
falling apart, because their defense underrated defense historically when it
comes to Super Bowl champions was that Broncos team. So
I look at the Broncos, I go, no, I don't
think it's super Bowler bus. But I do think that
there are other teams in the NFL who absolutely are
in a super Bowl or bus position, Which got me thinking,

(56:37):
why don't we just start previewing the season? Why not?
Why don't we just start previewing the NFL season here
in early June and a lot of you are out
there going, well, what about the tennis? What about Major
League Baseball? Who cares? All Right, that's my that's my
response to you, So let's get into it. Teams that

(56:58):
are super Bowler bust for this upcoming season. If they
don't get it done this year, they could face real
problems moving forward. Unlike the Denver Broncos, who I disagree.
I still think they got a couple of years to
play with. First up, the Cleveland Browns. All Right, we
talked about this earlier. Deshaun Watson's lawyer, Rusty Harden, that

(57:22):
is a real name, by the way, Rusty Harden went
on a Houston radio show and talked about happy endings yesterday.
All right, So Deshaun Watson is screwed. He is screwed.
There's a twenty four lawsuit coming out against him and
the Cleveland Browns I think are absolutely screwed for this
season and moving forward, I think the Cleveland Browns could

(57:45):
be in a really tough spot. I think Deshaun Watson,
and I said it earlier, is more than likely to
be suspended for the entire season. Now I'm not exaggerating.
I believe that's a real possibility. I don't think it's
anything less than eight games, and I leaning towards the
entire season based on all the information that's come out
what is lawyer did on Houston radio yesterday. This whole

(58:07):
thing is playing out poorly for Deshaun Watson and the
Cleveland Browns, and you have these championship windows, and I
just wonder, based on that roster, based on where they're at,
this feels like a really difficult spot. I think this
is Super Bowl or bust. And if Deshaun Watson misses
a large portion of the season, I think the Cleveland
Browns are absolutely in a tough spot. I'll go Buffalo

(58:29):
Bills next. I mean, look, we've seen this time and
time again in the NFL. You can't just keep getting
really far in the playoffs and coming up short. We
were hearing the same thing about the Saints and Drew
Brees for a while, right. It was like, yeah, the
Saints back to the NFC title game, back to the playoffs.

(58:49):
But and everybody kept saying, this is the Saint year.
They haven't won a Super Bowl since O nine. This
is the Saint year. And I understand you were putting
a tough spot. Look, you got screwed on a past
inter fearence no call against the Rams a few years back.
Absolutely got screwed. But then it was like, all right,
the Minneapolis miracle, the quote unquote push off by Kyle

(59:14):
Rudolph and the Super Dome. Then you got the Bucks
in the It just feels like in the NFL, it's
not like the NBA, where you can take steps and
finally get to where you need to go like Boston's
doing in the NBA Finals right now. At some point,
the Bills have got a cash in. They've got their
franchise quarterback. He's already been paid. But you've got other

(59:34):
guys on that roster that are gonna want to pay
check pretty pretty soon as well too. And when you
start paying a bunch of guys, it means you can't
pay others. I think Buffalo is in a super Bowler
Bus spot this year. Easy for me to say this
year for the Bills. I would absolutely put the Bills
on that list. Next super Bowler Bus team, the Baltimore Ravens.
You've got a quarterback in a weird spot. He's a

(59:58):
franchise guy, he's a former m v P. He's fantastic.
Lamar Jackson might be one of my favorite players in
the NFL, yet for some reason, he hasn't been extended.
There's no contract, and it's like the Ravens want to
get it done, but Lamar Jackson hasn't wanted to get
it done, which is strange. Nobody can figure it out.

(01:00:19):
I think Baltimore is in a spot to where they
think they got a guy, but they don't know if
They've got him long term, his style of play, injuries,
everything else to go along with it. I just wonder
if we have seen the peak of Lamar Jackson and
when it comes to Baltimore once you do give him
that contract, much like some of these other young quarterbacks
around the NFL, you take from other areas. I feel

(01:00:41):
like this is a crucial year super Bowl or bus
for the Baltimore Ravens. I'm gonna go with the Cincinnati Bengals.
I will say the Cincinnati Bengals are in a spot
to where I like Joe Burrow. I think he's fantastic.
I love everything about him. But Sincinnati just got to
a super Bowl. If you are a team in the

(01:01:02):
NFL and you just go to a super Bowl, unless
you're New England, unless you're a Kansas city, it's really
hard to repeat that. And when you start separating consistency
from Cincinnati, it's not like the organization has always built
a champion. We're forgetting a couple of years ago, Cincinnati

(01:01:23):
was an awful football team. Joe Burrow gets you to
a super Bowl, you had an opportunity to win that
game and you come up short. You can't just guarantee
you're gonna get right back there. So I think the
pressure is on with Cincinnati, much like Lamar Jackson and company.
You got a cash in now, Joe Burrow is gonna
get paid. You. Look, it's a small market town. They're

(01:01:46):
not known for paying a lot of money. You're in state.
Rival Cleveland just gave Deshaun Watson two million dollars guaranteed.
Joe Burrow is gonna come knocking on the door saying, hey,
I've completely turned around the franchise. Are we gonna get
this done? And once he does that again, you pull
from other areas. I feel like Cincinnati's in a tough spot.

(01:02:07):
They absolutely need to get it done. The Indianapolis Colts
have to get it done. This is a Super Bowl
er bust year. They have been trying to figure out
the quarterback spot for four or five years now. Frank
Reich is one of the more underrated head coaches in
the NFL. The guy has been put in a terrible
spot when it comes to quarterback play every single year.
He's been there, different starting quarterback every single year. Andrew

(01:02:31):
Luck retires during a preseason game, then you've got Jacoby Brissette.
You make a move for Philip Rivers, he's out after
a year. You go and need trade for Carson Wentz.
That doesn't work out. You lose to Jacksonville in a
clown out in the swimming pool stadium. Uh final week
of the season. You're out. Now you add Matt ryan
age roster where they've been Jim Mercy shown that he's

(01:02:55):
not patient if they come up short this year. I
feel like Frank Rych who knows could be on the
hot seat. I think Indianapolis absolutely has to get it done.
And at some point, Jonathan Taylor is we're gonna want
to get paid rightfully. So again, when you start paying guys,
you pull from other places. Indianapolis has got to get
it done. I mean the Kansas City chiefs like I

(01:03:17):
I mean, I almost hesitated to put him on this list.
But look, I mean, are we expecting that Kansas City
is gonna be New England and get to a Super
Bowl or an a f C title game every year?
I mean, they've got the quarterback to do it, but
there's a reason New England's New England. Nobody else really
does that. At some point you start to take a
step back, and if I'm Kansas City, and I look

(01:03:37):
at the window and you already had to part ways
with one of your best weapons because of the contract,
because of his demand and all that. If I'm Kansas City,
like these windows closed really fast. You were in a
super Bowl, you want a super Bowl. You were in
a couple of a f C title games. It's been successful,
but I feel like Kansas City has got to get
this done before the wheels start to come come off

(01:04:00):
from a salary cap standpoint, and they've got to move
in other directions. I would also put the green Bay
Packers in this spot. This is easy. Aaron Rodgers, he
signed a four year deal, feels more like a two.
If green Bay comes up short again this year, he's
already talking about retirement at the match or the little
Miniput tournament they had in Las Vegas over the course
of the week. I feel like Green Bay is kind

(01:04:22):
of sitting there going we go as Aaron Rodgers goes.
And if Aaron Rodgers decides he wants to walk after
this year, we're in a tough spot. Green Bay absolutely
has to get it done. I would put the Dallas
Cowboys in that same category. Super Bowl or bust based
on all that talent, everything they've added, they've paid, Dak Prescott,
You've got Mike McCarthy. If Dallas doesn't get it done

(01:04:43):
this year, you're gonna see the end of Zeke Elliott
and Dallas. Who knows. Maybe the pressure starts to mount
for Dak Prescott and they start looking around, going is
this why we were hesitant giving him all that money?
I feel like Dallas is that in that category. And
this is the most obvious one. Super Bowl or bust
Tampa Bay. This is Tom Brady's final year, either in

(01:05:04):
Tampa Bay or in the NFL period. I think Tampa
Bay knows it. They're gonna give it one more chance.
They're gonna give it one more run. If they don't
get it done this year, it's gonna be a vastly
different looking organization. And so I put Tampa Bay in
that list. So to recap Brown's Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Colts, Chiefs, Packers, Cowboys, Bucks,

(01:05:25):
all super Bowl or bus for this upcoming season. So
when Tim Patrick says the Broncos are in that category,
I disagree. I think they got some leiggle room. These
other teams. I don't think they do. Jonas Knocks Fox
Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knocks.
All right, So coming up next, we've got a little
bit of good news. It's some good news. It's a
little look ahead in the world of football. We're gonna

(01:05:46):
have that for you right here in fs are. But
for all the latest from around the world of sports.
A man who wants try it out to be the
host of cheating better the host than a contestants Isaac
loancon uh well Jonas on that point coming up moments
from now, We have found it. We found the cheaters
stabbing audio that coming up just moments from now. But

(01:06:10):
first audio from the Ladies Singles final of the French
Open today, World number one Ega beyon Tech of Poland
facing American Coco Golf. Beyontech won the first set six
one and led five three in the second set. With
championship point imminent. Here is g G. Salmon on Roland
Garrows radio factor reach up in the servant championship point

(01:06:33):
out why the full hand from golf is deep, it's
too deep, and Ego Fiontech screams and she has done
on her knees and the rolling Garrols play a massive
spin on the face of egos Fiontech, the world number one.
She is unstoppable right now. Indeed, he's now on a
thirty five match wedding streak. Baseball, the New York Yankees

(01:06:55):
today reinstated John Carlos Stanton from the ten day injured list.
Dancing will bat clean up for the Yankees today against
the Detroit Tigers at one oh five Eastern. Interesting story
in Gulf. Interesting development to continue to keep our eyes on.
Golfer Kevin Naw announced today that he has resigned from
the p G A Tour after nineteen years. Yeah, the

(01:07:18):
thirty eight year old Nah is listed in the field
for an event next week in the new Live Golf Tour. Yeah,
I know. Now onto the Cheaters stabbing audio? Now do
you want to read for the audience? Uh, it's Cheaters
for some reason is on in the on one of
the TVs here in the studio, and um, it just

(01:07:39):
got us down a rabbit hole or rom hole. There
was a stabbing on the set of Cheaters that Isaac
told me was fake, which is a stunning development because
for fifteen years I thought it was real. What do
we got here? Isaac's so? Yeah, so Cheaters for the
uninitiated is a show where significant others catch their significant

(01:08:00):
there's cheating on them in front of a live camera crew,
which bursts upon the cheater. Uh well, would it we
reason a little bit to say that Cheaters makes the
Jerry Springer Show look like the McNeil Lair Report? Is
that chaos? McNeil? Never mind, I asked you ask your

(01:08:20):
great grandfather or something anyway dead, So thanks for bringing
it up. Sorry, what do you want me to do?
Get a shovel? Oh boy, I really stepped at it there.
That remark may cost but I just apologize to you
in your entire family. Okay. So anyway, this showed cheaters

(01:08:40):
as I try and save some measure of face here.
So Jonas brought up that on the show, the host
of Cheaters got stabbed during an incident on the boat.
But heavy research Wikipedia revealed that the stabbing was staged.
So we found audio to explain it all. And this
is audio from the tabloid television show Inside Edition. So

(01:09:04):
Inside Edition investigating Cheaters, not exactly Woodward and Bernstein investigating Watergate,
but nevertheless, here it is Inside Edition on the Cheaters
stabbing incident. Listen as typically happens on the program, The
host Joey Greco, lectures the people caught cheating on the
immorality of infidelity. It's all about you, is you don't

(01:09:27):
care about anybody else. But on this occasion, a fight
breaks out and it appears that Gregel is stabbed in
the stomach like Cassandra's supposed boyfriend. The young man is
a restrained and Greco, blood gushing from his wound, is
rushed back to shore, where paramedics fight to save his life.
A police car speeds away, and the viewer is led

(01:09:47):
to believe that the knife wielding cheater has been arrested.
I'm following the suspect right now. He is in police custody.
It looks like they're headed over the Rowlet police station.
But according to the police in Rowlett, Texas, that never happened.
According to Cassandra's harass, the ambulance was rented, thought blood
was fake, and thought everything was scripted, right down to

(01:10:08):
the person falling off the boat. Man. What a bummer
I thought he got. I've never been so disappointed in
somebody not getting stabbed in my entire life. I I
that is such a I was so I was living
a lie for fifteen years. I thought he got stabbed
for real. It seems a lot of trouble to go

(01:10:30):
to just to construct that. I mean, you need to
hire a fake ambulance of fake police card. The people
are in cahoots fake blood apparently. What are they gonna
tell me next? Like the earth is round? What a bummer? Wow?
You run, let's go live to are I have a

(01:10:51):
thought on fake stabbings insider Iowa Sam for the latest. Sam, see,
I know how they did this guy's um. Obviously you
rehearse the whole thing, you know, on the boat, and
then you have like a little blood packet in there. Uh.
And I used to have as a kid this prank knife.
It looked like a real knife. But when you would
a loser, I know, right, I know, a little kid
with pranks, such a loser. So you take the knife

(01:11:13):
and you know, and then you you jab it into
something and the blade goes into the handle, so it
looks like the blade disappears. That's what I'm sure. That's
all right here is that's it's just a prank knife, everybody.
That's all fine, Yeah, you got you guys want to
hear the real details of Iowa Sam's childhood. Let me
tell you what I gotta deal with. Okay, Isaac, are
you still there or did Isaac storm out to go

(01:11:34):
to the Look? I'm not I'm not horrified yet, all right,
So Isaac put put the bottle of Jack Daniels down. Here.
Here's what here's what I've had to deal with with
Iowa Sam. All right, I came this is him in
a nutshell? All right. I wish I still had that knife,
but okay, probably get he's talking. He's talking about fake
fake knives, like prop knives. Right. I came into studio

(01:11:55):
one time and I saw that my my rundown sheet
was like elevated on the desk, and I couldn't figure
out why what is it? Like there was something underneath it,
but there was nothing. And you know in this studio
there are certain things that crawl around from time to time.
Something to myself, all right, is this one of those
cockroaches that looks like it does power cleans? Uh and

(01:12:18):
and could play? Is that? Is that Floyd or Wendell? Yes?
I mean the things are huge sometimes. But again, like
you know, according to the great Frank Pollock, Wow, that
used to be a Denny's chief. That's no excuse, Frank. Okay,
there's no moons over Mi hammy. That's forty five years old.
That's still sitting here, so stop. But I come into
studio and I see my my rundown sheet elevated. I'm going,

(01:12:40):
what the hell is this? So I slowly lifted up
and look underneath. Iowa, Sam put fake cat crap on
my desk, okay, And I'm like, who walks around with
fake feces and ether than maybe Amber heard? But walks

(01:13:00):
around with fake crap and just sets it on things
He's got. He's got whoopee cushions, he's got fake animal crap,
he's got prop knives. Like, that's Sam. So I'm like
him him, thinking, oh, well that I mean, that's that's normal.

(01:13:21):
That's normal. No, Sam, It's okay, yeah, but it's not.
I believed it too for the longest time. Do you
have a whoope cushion on you? No? I don't because
it was in my old bag and I switched bags.
That's the explanation. So it's in my old FSR bag.
Usually I'd have a whippy cushion on me for emergencies. Emergency,

(01:13:41):
what do you mean, what do you mean emergencies? I
mean in case there's an emergency and we all need
to laugh. Sam, Okay, when when we grew I think
you remember growing up in southern California, we had to
have an earthquake kit in elementary school. Yes, it was.
It was like stuff that would would stay good if
they're in case of an earthquake. Like in Iowa. Part

(01:14:03):
of the tornado kit is a whoopee cushion. It can
be Sam's got a you know, a snack, a bowl,
a can of soup, and a whoopie cushion, water and
a whoopee cushion in case of emergency and you're in
the shelter and you have nothing to do to make
people laugh except use the old whoopie cushion. That's what

(01:14:25):
you might have lost your voice and all you can
do is blow up the whoopie cushion and then squeeze
it and makes the farting sound and then the emergency
responders know where you are. If you do it in
Morse code. You'd have to learn Morse code though, very good. Yeah,
he's I think that was an s He's just what

(01:14:46):
a disaster all right? If you if you've got any
thoughts on you know, Iowa Sam's Tornado Kit, which includes
a Whoope cushion, fake dog crap, and a prop knife.
You can get them on Twitter at Iowa Sam ninety
all right, coming up next Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio.
We do have a little bit of good news, uh,
a little preview into what football could look like for you.

(01:15:08):

What you will have put together a it's kind of

(01:15:49):
a remake of the Full House theme, which, by the way,
what a bad show now that I think about, That's
an awful show. Yet for some reason, Uh, you know
people are still talking about it. Uh so that is
making the rounds on social media. Speaking of the SEC,
figure it out, get to a A nine. Oh my god,
my god, unbelievable. What type of game cocks are running around?

(01:16:15):
Can we dump that? Din? We dump that a disgrace,
But he really dumped it. If you sound really dumped
it after after some of the stuff you've said on
the air, Sam, you're gonna dump that. Grow up. But
if you're the SEC, figure out a way, figure out

(01:16:37):
a way to get a nine game schedule going. All right,
this has been dabbled with. They've said, oh Dehining's gonna happen.
For figure out a way to make it happen. It
would be best for everybody involved, three common opponents each
year and make that work. Right now, though, it is
time for something we do when we finish up the
show every single week, and it's called this How could

(01:16:57):
you not get to these stories? More are the scraps?
And for that we turned it over to our executive producer,
Ryan Burr Shinger, the better looking Joey Chestnut. I'd like
to find out what we've missed. Bursch Well, a couple
of days ago as you guys know, Nestor Cortez is
having a breakout season with the Yankees. He's got in
the area one and a half second best in the
major Oh yeah, and uh, he was dealing against the

(01:17:21):
Twins the other day. Of course, Jim Cott is an
allegory pitcher for the Twins and their their TV analysts
and uh, you know he's no stranger to to to
saying things that don't go over to well sometimes here's
his thoughts on Nestor Cortes, nest the molester, Nestor man.
He was fun to watch him. Yeah, so he said

(01:17:42):
that on the TV broadcast, So you know that's not
allowed anymore? Is allowed anymore? That's what happened. Did he
get canned? Well, he did apologize and and Cortes responded saying,
Jim Cott has been has spent his entire life in
this game. We love. He reached out to me and
apologized for his remark last night, but he didn't need to.
We all make mistakes and feel a hundred percent there

(01:18:02):
was no malice intended. I plan on lifting him up
with this tweet and I hope others do to. No
sweat here, Jim, he called him nest to the molester.
Everybody makes mistakes. That wasn't a mistake. I mean that
was you know, the football player for for the Raiders
said I don't remember that now, like with night Train

(01:18:23):
Lane and then there was Lester Lester and they called
him Lester the moles. Yeah. I mean that was a
time where you know, it was like wow, like people
didn't take it as a I mean, you should always
have been offended by it, but they I guess they didn't.
But by the way, I love how he apologized. You know,
I apologized yesterday when I got pulled over to I
still got a ticket. So yeah, good good luck with

(01:18:44):
the apology. Man, don't be a hater, all right. What
else we got? Well, the scripts National Spelling Bee was
this last week. Now, you guys might not have known
that because for the first time in twenty seven years,
it was not on espn uh HARENI logan one. She's
an eighth grader from San Antonio correctly spelled twenty one
words in the first time ever sudden death spell off um. However,

(01:19:08):
people are not too happy with the new broadcast on
the Ion Network. Here are some of the tweets of
people angry with the television broadcast, Katie says worst Spelling
be Ever practically unwatchable with all of the commercials and
unnecessary commentary. The vocabulary round and this late in the
game is also ridiculous. It's a spelling be, not a
vocabulary the world. So so she's complaining about a Spelling

(01:19:35):
be presentation on television that she was probably the only one,
which means she was watching. All right, what a nerd? Alright,
I don't know who's a bigger nerd, her or those kids.
And the fact that they actually have commercials. How about
that everybody's getting sponsored now, son of a bit
