So I've identified a team in the NFL. No matter
what happens this weekend, they're gonna lose. It's over right.
(01:24):
I'm just giving you the heads up, right. I don't
care what the score says. I don't care if it's tie,
I don't care. Like whatever happens, it's gonna be a
loss for one team in the NFL, al right, So
be prepared for this. That team is the Dallas Cowboys.
(01:46):
You're screwed, Like if you're if you're a Cowboy fan,
you're screwed. Right now, the news of Jalen Hurts being out,
you're probably thinking to yourself, well, that increases the Cowboys
chances of winning that game. That's act Jalen Hurts. You know,
it was in the lead for the m v P
before he suffered this shoulder injury against the Bears last week.
(02:09):
So the news coming out that Jalen Hurts is gonna
miss this game, when you're gonna get Gardner Minshew coming
up on Saturday, I mean, if you're one of these
Cowboy fans out there. You're feeling great about it, but
it's bad news if you actually sit and think about it. Now.
It's also bad news for Jalen Hurts fantasy owners. I mean,
that's just that's a rough way to go. Like, you
(02:31):
work all this time, you draft Jalen Hurts, people probably
mocking you. Why did you draft Jalen Hurts. You get
to the playoffs and then you realize, oh, he's not
gonna play. It's now you're scrambling. You probably overpaid for
Gardner Minshew, and now you're trying to hold onto your
hopes and dreams that Gardner Minshew, who hasn't started a
game all season long, is gonna be able to step
in against a really good Cowboys defense and perform. So
(02:55):
thoughts and prayers to all of you out there who
do own Jalen Hurts and your fantasy team and fantasy league.
Not not an ideal situation heading into the playoffs for
most people in their fantasy leagues. But point being the
other group this is not good news for is the Cowboys,
no matter what you say, because this game just became
(03:16):
a waste of your energy. I'm telling you that right
now it became a waste of your energy. Now I'm
not telling you not to watch. You absolutely should watch.
As we mentioned, if you don't watch football, if you're
not a fan of the NFL, you're a loser. These
are clear line in the sand statements here, like you're
(03:37):
either on one side or the other. If you're on
the other side, you're a loser. So watch the game.
It's on Fox. It's gonna do massive numbers. I don't
know if it'll do as many numbers as they did
on Thanksgiving between the Giants and the Cowboys, but I
think it's going to do a huge number and a
huge rating, and it's going to be fantastic television. And
you know, the Dallas Cowboys are gonna have a red
(03:59):
ass against Nick Sirianni, who yelled that's game f you
from the sideline the first meeting and then was shouting
and yelling and you know, doing all sorts of obscenities
and you name it walking into the tunnel afterwards. You know,
the Cowboys are gonna get fired up for it. And
they've been having to hear it all week about their
performance at Jacksonville and then the previous week's performance against
(04:22):
Houston a game they should have lost, so you know,
doubt it's gonna come out. So if you're a Cowboy fan,
you feel great. Hey, Christmas weekend is not gonna be ruined.
We got a backup quarterback. Were piste off about the
first time we saw these guys. We're gonna get even
and we're gonna beat the Philadelphia Eagles, and you might,
but you're still gonna lose. You can't win no matter
(04:43):
what because if the game's over and you're ahead on
the scoreboard, what are they gonna say? Yeah, but it
was Gardner Minshew. Now, I mean we saw it happened
the first time you guys played. You know, uh, I
mean didn't look all that hot. I mean so cool.
I mean you're Dak Prescott. You can beat a backup quarterback,
(05:03):
but yeah, you couldn't be Jalen Hurts the first time around.
Like you played a starter in his second year in
Trevor Lawrence last week and you couldn't beat him either.
That's what the narrative is gonna be, that that these
are what we're like, this is what's going to be discussed. Yeah,
you won the game, but backup quarterback and God forbid
you lose that game. If you're the Dallas Cowboys, if
(05:27):
you thought the ridicule and ball busting that you've been
getting from people who are Cowboy haters or doubters of
Dak Prescott, if you thought that was bad over the
past few weeks, you've seen nothing yet. If you lose
this game to Philadelphia, who clinches home field in your
(05:50):
backyard during a holiday weekend, in front of thirty or
forty million people watching, If you lose this game, I mean,
I'm not I would recommend listening to Fox Sports Radio.
I would recommend watching FS one, you know, like I would,
(06:13):
I would probably be very careful, and I would just
be aware that you're going to be the punchline for
a long time afterwards. It's gonna get bad. Now. What
it actually changes in the grand scheme of things, not
really much, because, I mean, Philly was going to get
the one seed anyways, and you're already in the playoffs
and you know you're you're gonna have to go on
(06:33):
the road the first week, and who knows, maybe you'll
face Tampa Bay who's wounded. I like Dallas in that game,
regardless of what happens to Tampa Bay down. The stretcher
of Tom Brady figures it out. But in the whole
grand scheme of things, it's not gonna mean much except
for the fact that you lost to a backup quarterback.
So all the other discussions that you've been having about
(06:54):
making a legitimate run and being a legitimate threat in
the NFC, all that goes away. It's over. And if
you think about it in a grand scheme of things,
if you were to meet Philly in the playoffs again,
it's tough to beat a team three times. It's tough
to do. We saw what happened last year. Rams forty
Niners met in the playoffs. Forty Niners owned them in
(07:15):
the regular season. All of a sudden, they get to
the NFC title game and the Rams figured it out.
A dropped interception helped, but the Rams figured it out.
It's tough to beat a team three times in a season.
So you do have that going for you. But as
far as this weekend goes, lose, lose, you win the game,
you beat a backup, You lose the game you lost
(07:36):
to a backup, and Philly clinched the one seed in
the NFC. That's a bad situation to be in. It
would be like the woman who broke your heart calls
you and says, I mean, you've been fixated on this,
you want to get back together. She ripped your heart out,
has destroyed your life, ruined you. She calls you up
(07:57):
and says, I'd like to get back together. And it's
like the moment you've been waiting for because all you
wanted was another chance. You wanted to be back together.
You were waiting for that call. You were hoping for
that call. She says, I've learned my lesson. I realize
you're the one. Let's get back together. Only to find
(08:21):
out that she was dating Dirk Diggler while you guys
were broken up. That's a rough way to go because hey, on,
on one hand, I mean, it's a woman of your dreams,
your love. You're no longer heartbroken. On the other hand,
while she was away it uh, you know, things are
a little different when she gets back, you know what
(08:42):
I mean, Like all of a sudden, you gotta worry
about that thought in the back of somebody's said for
the rest of your life. So there's that. Like some situations,
no matter what, it may seem like a win it's
not a win. And if you're the Cowboys or if
your Cowboys fans, there's no a This goes in the
direction of we feel great about things. This is gonna
(09:04):
be awesome afterwards. This is gonna be fantastic because no
matter what happens, the doubters are still gonna be there.
A Cowboy fans know this too. They can be as
defiant about it as they want. They could say whatever
they want about it. We've seen this story, and we've
seen this for years with the Dallas Cowboys for years,
(09:26):
and this is one of those situations that's gonna feel
like a tease. It's why Mike McCarthy was put in
such an awful spot by Jerry Jones in the preseason,
Like what's Mike McCarthy gotta do to make sure he's
going to be the long term answer a coach? Like
just like, just like, play out the scenarios. Even if
(09:48):
Mike McCarthy improves on last year's performance, which was went
to the playoffs, lost in the first round. If they
go to the playoffs this year, and let's pla this out,
they take on Tampa Bay and it's at Tampa Bay.
If you were to just isolate that discussion. You would say,
(10:10):
here's a head coach, and here's a team who went
on the road in the playoffs and beat the goat
Tom Brady, a team who just won a Super Bowl
a couple of years ago, and they did it on
the road to open up the playoffs. For any other coach,
your job is safe. For Mike McCarthy. The seats still
(10:33):
hot because if you if the next round you play
Philly and you get smashed, regardless of whether or not
you win this game this weekend or not, you're probably
gonna get clipped. Because that's how Jerry Jones has set
this up. That's how he's built this impossible task going
(10:53):
into the season. So it's kind of like you're you're
wasting your energy, like you're holding onto every single week.
Is Dallas gonna do it? Are they gonna do this? Like,
oh my god, Jalen Hurts is out. You know, we're
playing Gardner Minshew. All the the odds completely changed and
within the other direction. And I got news for you.
I actually think Dallas would have won this game even
(11:14):
if Jalen Hurts with the quarterback. But the fact that
he's out, the fact that he's not gonna be there.
You're gonna win this game most likely, as as as
the opinion of the betting markets would tell you. And
it's not gonna matter. It's a waste of energy. It's
the one game and the rare moments in life. No
(11:36):
matter what the scoreboard says, no matter how many points
you got, no matter how good you look, You're going
to lose regardless. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, Jonas

a little over ten minutes from now. There's a lot
of you who feel the same way I do about
a certain situation in the NFL. You feel the same
way as I do. Yet for whatever reason, we are
being force fed this topic. We are just it is
being forced down our throats, you know, like that bar
(13:21):
of soap on a Christmas story where they shoved that
bar of soap down that kid's mouth, and just we're
being force fed this crap. So so we'll get to
that story here coming up in a little over ten
minutes from now. Um Brno is a dirt bag, by
the way, for you, For you people out here that
don't have a sense of humor, because God forbid, I'm
(13:43):
not playing a violin for the Patriots fan who got
yelled at by that slob that lady at the Raiders game,
and the Patriots are are doing something nice for him
and flying him out to a game, and he's going
to be there for the game. Like what am I
supposed to do? Like, like like stand up and applaud
(14:03):
the Patriots for flying some guy there, their billionaire owner
for flying out some fan because a Raider fan was
mean to him. Like, you know how many times people
to go to games and there's somebody who's rooting for
the other team that's mean to him. Some guy just
got his finger bitten off at a hockey game. Like,
did anybody fly that guy out and say, hey, bad,
(14:26):
We understand you know you got a little bit of
a problem here. We get all that. Um, we'd love
to fly out to the game. Never mind the fact
that one of your hands looks like a ninja turtle.
That forget all that. We're gonna fly you out to
a game, and we're gonna we're gonna do this together.
We're gonna support you, we're gonna rally around you. What
are we talking about here, donkey fans? Will get their
(14:46):
ears bitten off at the l Coliseum Like, like, what
do we she yelled at him. She was being mean
to the guy. We get it, ladies of slab like
the what a what a kind gesture of the by
the New England Patriots? Cool? What are we supposed to
like do? What do you want me to say about it? Neat?
(15:08):
So you flew fly other people out to games? In fact,
I'll tell you what this is what you should do.
Let's document every time an opposing fan goes to a
game and somebody's mean to them, and see how many
organizations are also going to feel bad for you and
fly out to games like let's let's go ahead. It's
(15:30):
a nice diversionary tactic. I mean, it's a it's a
great play by the Raider or by the Patriots. Here, hey, everybody,
look away from the burning building. Okay, get a look
look at the nice the nice flower arrangement. All right,
what about the house that's burning behind you? Don't worry
about that. Look at this flower arrangement we put together.
We're even growing our own avocados here, Like your house
(15:52):
is on fire in the background, Like what about that?
Like everything's burning to the ground. No no, no, no no, no, no, no, no,
don't don't pay attention to that. We're we're growing high
bit skiss here and we're even trying to plant pon
setias for next winter time. We've even thought about putting
up a couple of mini Christmas trees. Your house is
burning down though, behind you don't worry about all that.
Look at the flower arrangement here. It's like Robert Krafts, like, hey,
(16:16):
forget about the fact that we just lost on one
of the worst plays in the history of the sport.
Forget about all that, and it was a catastrophic loss,
and we've been the laughing stock of the league. Forget
about all that. We're gonna fly some guy out to
a game next week because an opposing fan was mean
to him. I'm sorry, I just don't care. What do
(16:37):
you want me to do? Alright, So, so to to
anybody complaining on Twitter because I don't have a violin
out for some guy who got yelled at by a
woman at a game, I'm sorry, Like, like, play the
violin for that guy who lost his finger at a
hockey game. Okay, what about him? What about him? Huh?
You know what that guy's good life is gonna be
(16:57):
Like you think he's gonna get a discount when he
goes to get a manicure. Probably not. You think they're
gonna go, you know what, you only got nine that
we worked on. Let's forget, you know, like, we're going
to charge you full price. Now he's gonna go into
one of those nail salons. Are gonna say sorry, you
pay the same price as everybody else. I don't see
anybody else playing the violence for that guy, all right,
I don't see anybody playing the violin for him. Hiddink.
(17:19):
That guy feels goes to run his his hands through
his hair, and he's like, what happened here? All right?
How do you think that guy feels? How's that guy
was supposed to play with a squirk gun for the
rest of his life? Guy just had his finger bitten off.
You imagine that holding a squirkgun, trying to show people
(17:41):
in the neighborhood like, this is how you use a squirkgun?
Like what do you mean how do you use a squirkun?
Why don't use your feet? See if you can get
it to work, then how would you know about using
a squirkgun? Oh? You got a super soaker for Christmas. Cool.
Don't take it over to Todd. He can't use it
unless he steps down on the trigger. I've seen Abody
flying that guy out to a game. Kiss my ass?
(18:05):
All right? Uh, two pros and a cup of Joe.
Fox Sports Radio Jonas knocks in here. By the way, fellas,
it is time to stop treating your groins like junk,
introducing the Gillette Intimate Pubic hair Trimmer, a gentle and
easy shade from America's number one trusted men's grooming brand.
Show your pubic regions some respect with Gillette Intimate, the
best demand can get. All right, I don't want to
(18:27):
be because this show is all about positivity. As you
can clearly here on this show, we're all about the
positive stuff here. There's no snark here. We're not a
bunch of smart asses. We try and do the positive
stuff here on this show. Okay, I don't mean to
be negative, I really don't. I just get a really
(18:48):
bad feeling about the Detroit Lions this weekend. All right, now,
If if you are a Lions fan, okay, this has
been a great season. Not only was your team featured
on Hard Knox, not only have people started to rally
around what Dan Campbell is building. And I love what
Dan Campbell's building. And we said it before earlier on
(19:09):
this show. If you were to ask me right now,
who would you rather have in the playoffs the crappy
Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the Detroit Lions. I'll take Detroit.
I think that Jared goff rebound is awesome. I think
he was thrown under the bus by Sean McVeigh and
the Rams organization. He's played better than Jared Goff for
a lot of his time being in Detroit in comparison
(19:31):
to the Rams. I know, I know Matt Stafford or
he's played better than Matt Stafford Jared Goff as I
know he wants super Bowl, But if you just look
at the numbers, come on, man with with a lot
less to work with, Jared gosspin pretty impressive and he's
played really well and they've completely changed the culture and
of that organization. It's an awesome, awesome thing that's happening
(19:52):
there with Dan Campbell and company. But if you're Alliance fan,
done this weekend, feel like one of those games you're
gonna lose, you know what I'm saying, Like you're at Carolina.
Caroline is not good? All right? Your your favorite in
this game? Detroit still holding onto playoff hopes. This just
(20:15):
feels like one of those ones where it's like, man,
you get your hopes up only to find out same
old story. Guy, just you know, like like say, like
you thought somebody learned their lesson the same old story.
It's like like like having a buddy who's a drug addict. Hey, man,
you're not doing any of the stuff anymore. No, absolutely not,
(20:37):
Like come on, man, I've turned my life around. Like listen,
I'm on a really good stretch here. I've completely turned
my life around. And then you go over to his
house and you wonder why you can't find spoons? Hey,
what happened? Why is that? Why is that? We got
a bird mark underneath it? I don't understand. And man,
you've lost a lot of weight. What's going on here?
(20:59):
Like like you know, it's like all you got in
your cupboard is like saltines and dog treats? Ad he eat.
I don't I understand what's going on? Like what's I like?
And I say, this is somebody who grew up a
Cubs fan. There's there was always a feeling whenever the
Cubs got into the playoffs, whenever they got into the postseason.
(21:20):
I said it. You want to go to the most
depressing sporting event on planet Earth, Go to a Cubs
playoff game at Wrigley Field. When they start to trail
at around the fifth inning, it's like a morgue. People
are just waiting for something bad to happen. And if
(21:42):
you're a Detroit Lions fan, you know what the hell
I'm talking about, Because you're feeling great about things, you're
still like, I mean, the momentum of the organization, what
Dan Campbell has built. And then you're gonna be taken
on Carolina this weekend, and all of a sudden, it's
going to be the second quarter, you're down by like
ten or twelve points, and you're gonna be looking around
(22:04):
at each other going I knew it. I knew it.
I just can't can't. This is I mean typical, this
is Lions football. Never Mind you're one of the few
good stories of the league. Never Mind the fact the
entire culture of the organization has changed and it's been tremendous.
All it takes is for them to have one slip
(22:26):
up and all the good feelings and good vibes go
bye bye. And I just get this weird feeling that's
going to happen at some point this weekend for the
Detroit Lions and that fan base. Jonas Knox Here Fox
Sports Radio, two Pros and a cup of Joe. Here
on fs ARE, you can hang out with us as
always on the I Heart Radio app. All right, So
there's a story in the NFL that you continue to
(22:47):
be force fed. I'm tired of it. You're tired of it.
We're gonna call it out. We're doing it next here
on fs ARE. But for all the latest from around
the world of sports, roll out the red carpet in
your ears and tell anybody making too much noise around
you to shut their damn mouse. It's Eddie Garcia. It's up, Eddie. Yeah,
I gotta I got. I think I got a winner
on the Scratchers here, did you think so? All right?
(23:08):
So for the new audience, UM, I got the guy's
lotto Scratchers because it's fun to see who wins and
who doesn't if you pull from the same role. So Lee,
you won twenty dollars and a ticket. That's right, Berno,
would you win nine dollars and two tickets, nine dollars
and two tickets, And Eddie, would you win? I think
I got a hundred and two dollars in a ticket. No,
(23:30):
you didn't know. I've got the little little reindeer and
it says win hundred dollars and it says it says
on the bottom, uncover the reindeer symbol to automatically win
that prize. No waydeer. Yeah, yeah, I gotta see can
you take can you put it on Twitter? I don't
even know if you want to put it on Twitter
because I'm like, you know, A you're gonna get in
(23:52):
trouble for doing that. I don't know. Yeah, well, because
then who knows some of these liquor story you can't
take it to the liquor store down the street from there.
They're lying about their prices all the time, so you
gotta be careful on that. Yeah, Eddie, I'm talking about
(24:13):
hunter Bucks. Yeah, you know it's great about giving a
lot of scratchers as a Christmas gift. Eddie can say,
you know, Jonahs got me a hundred two dollars for Christmas,
and Burno tell his wife I got nine dollars and
two tickets from him. That's great, man, Little scratches are great.
Do you want a hundred bucks? That's awesome. Good for you.
(24:35):
I've never well I don't What do they say, you
can't win if you don't play. That's true. I never play,
so uh, this is the first time I've ever want
to think. So what do I just take it? Like
to the local liquor story like really never really never played?
Or no, no, no really, Yeah, they'll scan the back
the back of it. They'll give your money. Just go.
There's a liquor store right down the street from there.
(24:55):
And they can't be trusted. And these wants down the street,
these guys can't be trusted. Those hooligans. Well, I mean
they're always lying where just walking to seven eleven. They're
gonna give you a hundred How are you gonna get
a cash? You gonna go all twenties, So you're gonna
go with a hundred dollar bill quarters. This is funny.
That'd be awesome to piss everybody off. By the way,
(25:16):
if you want to really piss somebody off, go into
a liquor store and buy a lot of Scratchers. If
you buy an entire book, because they got to count
it out individually. They're not happy when you have to
do that, and they only accept cash when you do.
But you're gonna actually walk in and get something back.
Christ good for you, Eddie Garcia, everybody. Yeah, there you go.
(25:37):
You know I got I got scratchers for for people
in my family that just certified nobody else's winnings. All
my family's gonna be just out of money. I did
deserve it more than them, I agree. You know who
also deserved to win, Not the Jets, the Jaguars. Last
(25:59):
night Thursday night football in the meadow Lands and Jacksonville
gets the nineteen to three win over New York. Riley
Patterson was the offensive star of this when booting four
field goals for the Jacks. Turvor Lawrence scored the only
touchdown of the game, a one yard run for him.
Zack Wilson, meanwhile, for the Jets, didn't go too well
for him nine and eighteen, passing ninety two yards, an
(26:20):
interception and got benched in the third quarter and replaced
by Chris Trubler. Jacksonville's seven and eight, but they're a
half game back of Tennessee for the a f C
South lead. The Jets are also seven and eight, but
they're not gonna win the division, so they need a
wild card and problem is there behind Miami, New England
and Jacksonville at this point. News from the NFL Eagles
quarterback Jalen Hurts expect to miss Saturday's game against the
(26:42):
Cowboys with that shoulder injury. Gardner Mitschew expected to start.
Ravens quarterback Lamar jackson'll miss his third straight game with
a knee injury. Tyler Huntley we'll get to start against
the Falcons. Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill likely out for the
season but definitely gonna miss this week with an ankle
injury against the Texans, so Malik Willis gets the start.
College football was apparently like thirteen degrees in Fort Worth,
(27:03):
Texas for the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force gets the
thirty to fifteen went over Baylor Falcons finished the year
at ten and three. In baseball, an independent arbiture reduced
Dodgers pitture Treumbor Bowers three hundred and twenty four games
suspension for violating Baseball's domestic violence policy two hundred and
ninety four games, and he has been reinstated, effective immediately.
Dodgers now had fourteen days to release power or add
(27:26):
them to their forty man rosster. In the NBA, just
two games Pelicans over the Spurs, seventeen c J. McCollum,
forty points for New Orleans Jazz over the Wizards. On
one twelve, NHL, we had the Bruins beating the Jets
three to Boston now twenty six four and two on

oh and two now at home, Capitals beating the Senators
(27:46):
three too and overtime no goals for Washington star Alexander Roveskin.
He still one away from tying Gordy Alper second on
the all time goals scored list. Now back to Jonas
Knocks and the Tire Act dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios,
Rich and Fancy, Eddie Garcia over there by the You're
gonna rub that in Ben Mallor's face when he comes
back that listen, Ben, I mean some of us work
(28:09):
on the holidays, and uh, you know, I don't think
I can do that quite well because I usually take
every holiday. Yeah, but the one, the one you worked,
you want a hundred dollars on a lot of ah,
that's so awesome, all right. It is two pros and
a cup of joe here from the entire rack dot
(28:31):
com studios. Is that he pointed out by the way
coming out in, we'll call it about twelve minutes from now.
This is gonna be some of the most valuable advice
you'll get all weekend long, and we're going to have
that for you here. So again, twelve minutes from now,
stick around for that here on fs are um god
man this story. ESPN reported on Thursday that the Washington
(28:56):
Commanders Charitable Foundation may have some questionable finance chill dealings.
There were quote unquote some red flags after an investigation.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah. I'm so tired of
this crap. I'm so tired of hearing about the Commanders.
I'm so tired of hearing about all the scandals. I'm
(29:17):
so tired of hearing about how bad the organization is.
I'm so tired of hearing about Dan Snyder. I'm tired
of these reports. Would somebody just figure out a way
to get him to like they're putting in bids today,
Like somebody put in a bid that's gonna knock his
socks off and let's just move on with our lives.
I'm sick of it, man, I'm done with it, like
(29:42):
no matter what, somehow, some way, the Washington commanders are
a punchline. And I'm not saying they don't deserve all
of it. I'm not, But how many investigations do you
need before you realize, Okay, we get it, it's a disaster.
But I don't I remember on weekend overnights years ago,
(30:04):
doing this story that came out of the Washington Post
where they talked about all the drinking inside the building
in Washington, like Scott McCluin, who was a former general manager,
who uh, well, you have some stuff about Scott mcluhin
and you know, maybe certain reporters at certain networks and
things like that and some accusations. But again we're not
(30:26):
here to talk about any of that stuff. But Scott McCluin,
who was gone from Washington, and this stuff came out
that Scott mc McCluin had a problem with the bottle,
that he was drinking too much and all these other
and then there was like this deep dive about what
it was really like inside the building, and that uh,
you know, there was the people that were associated, you know,
(30:47):
with the organization. In the front office. There would be cores,
light cans lying around the building and like this stuff
has gone on for years, like inappropriate work, ace behavior
all and look, all of that is legit and and
it can't there can be this many reports and it
be completely false. So I get it, but I feel
(31:11):
like we're beating a dead horse here, Like Okay, what
a shock. Uh there's some red flags with the Commander's
Charitable Foundation. Boy, what a stunning development. My god, what
else you gonna tell? Oh my god, Hey, the Sean
Taylor statue, they screwed it up, But don't worry. They've
made some adjustments. They changed the adida's logo to a
(31:34):
Nike logo or they or vice versa. And they put
tape on the face mask like he used to wear.
Like what are you expecting? Like early last year, remember
it was the sewer line burst. Oh my god, even
the sewage lines don't work here. They're overflowing into the
stadium and fans are getting getting wet from and then
(31:55):
you come to find out, well, no, it wasn't really
a sewage line like they tried to make it seem
like fans showed up to a football game ready to
support their team and then like had to walk out
of there like Andy Dufrain escaping Shah Shang just crawling
through a river of crap to try and get two freedom.
Like what, like, I get it, they're a mess, Like
(32:18):
the organization has been run poorly? Got it? Dan Snyder
has got a questionable background, got it? Like what was
the giveaway? Him hiding on a yacht so eating get
subpoenaed because that's normal behavior, Like I don't know what
else you like? How many more of these stories do
we need? Yet? For some reason, it's a field day
(32:41):
another stories out there. ESPN has got another deep dive
report on the dysfunction in Washington. Cool, sell the team,
let's move on. Give it to Jeff Bezos. Bezos wants
to you know, to take a loan out against his
crank shuttle and by the commandos go do it. Like
(33:01):
I'm just I'm tired of the story. Every single week,
there's some story about the commanders every week. Well they're
being investigated. Now Congress is involved, and you know, I
don't know what's It's like okay, man, Like they're they're
not a bad football team, all right, Like you know,
(33:22):
Taylor Heineke's kind of a mediocre quarterback, but he rips
bush lights on the on the team flight home. All right.
You know it's kind of a likable story. And then
you saw you know, the the the guys that made
the Pro Bowl and they were emotional and all that stuff.
Like there's there's feel good stories when it comes to
the Commanders. Yet all of that gets completely overblown and
completely overlooked because we got to focus on more of
(33:44):
the scandal with the front office. We got it. We
understand everything they touched turns to crap. We get all that.
I have a buddy whose nickname is the gas Can.
You want to know why his nicknames the gas Can.
Everything the guy touches turns awful, Like, hey, we just
(34:05):
got brand new plates. That guy walks five ft away
from a plate and forces augusta wind that knocks it
off the table and it shatters. He destroys everything. We
went to a place that just opened, They remodeled, They
put up a billiards table upstairs for people to play pool.
(34:28):
They just opened. They were open for a couple hours.
What do you think that guy did when he was
playing pool, our buddy the gas can. He swung on
his back swing too hard and knocked a hole in
the wall. They had been open for two hours. That's
the commandos, That's what they do. But how many stories
(34:49):
do you need of the same vibe? Ah, red flags,
more scandal? I get it? Can we just move on?
Sell the team? Let's move on on Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio Jonas Knocks with

gonna be the most valuable information you are handed all
weekend long. It's yours right here on fs ARE be

Fox Sports Radio Jonas Knocks are the here. Don't worry,
LaVar and Brady will be back after the weekend, alright.
Just everything's gonna be all right, by the way. Coming
up top the next hour, we are going to look
back and we are going to hear some some thoughts
and some words from somebody in the NFL who's got
(36:15):
no more answers. They got no more answers for you,
trying their best, took a big swing and they failed,
and we'll get into that for you here coming up
about ten minutes from now. Um, all right, so I
mentioned that this is gonna be really valuable advice for
you because that's what we're trying to do on this show.
We're trying to help you and trying to make your
navigation into a holiday weekend that much easier. Right, That's
(36:38):
what we try and do here on this show. Right.
So obviously it's you know, Christmas coming up this weekend.
I'm just letting you know right now, today, Friday, December
twenty two, is going to be the worst shopping day.
You can remember in recent history telling you that right
(37:03):
now it's going to be a disaster. If you haven't
completed your Christmas shopping, you're screwed. I'm just telling you
right now, it's most likely too late for for a
lot of places to ship, and with some of the
weather in the Midwest and in certain parts of the country,
things are being delayed. Like it's just it's that's so
(37:26):
you're already up against it. Today is going to be
a disaster, and you're probably thinking to yourself, what do
you mean we got two days till Christmas? We got today,
we got tomorrow. I'll do half it today, half it tomorrow.
Hold on a second, you do you think anybody is
gonna miss Wall to Wall NFL coming up tomorrow to
(37:49):
go to a mall to go shopping. I don't care.
If my kid said to me, Dad, I really really
really want to go see Santa Claus at the mall,
I would say, Well, if I were you, I'd take
a Santa hat and a beard and I put it
on that TV because we're watching the football games. And
if I were you, I'd pretend that Santa Claus because
other than that, you ain't seeing him. This is what
(38:12):
people do. We procrastinate. We wait until Christmas Eve, and
then we go out and we pick up a few things.
I'm gonna grab a few things. I'm gonna go to
the ball. It's already a disaster. It's already a mess.
But the problem is Christmas Eve is out. There's football on. If.
If if you are a football fan, and I know
(38:35):
you are because you listen to Fox Sports Radio and
you listen to this show, you understand Christmas eves over.
You got games this weekend. A Saturday is filled with games.
We're talking frigid like TV quality, snow, all the other
elements things like that, you got fantasy football, you got gambling,
(38:59):
you all these other things going on. You think anybody
is gonna want to go hang out in a mall
tomorrow to go get last minute shopping done. It's not happening.
Everybody realizes, oh god, I gotta get it done today.
I don't want to miss all those games tomorrow. So
if you haven't already completed your shopping, I'm just telling you,
it's just a fair warning. It's just a heads up.
(39:23):
All right, good luck, man. Let's look. I went to
the mall earlier this week. This is a few days ago.
It's awful. Talked about it on the show. It's as
it was just a terrible experience. You can't get anywhere quick,
and everybody's you know, standing around kind of stroll. It's
like a lot of people take time off work this
(39:44):
week to try and finish up the year. I mean,
I'm trying to be efficient. I'm like, dude, I gotta
get home. We've got work tomorrow morning. I just want
to get in and get out. That's all I want.
And then it's either somebody's got their kids staring up
at some fake Christmas tree in the mall, or there's
like this long ass line outside Pretzel Maker where everybody's like, oh,
I'm gonna forget about my diet here. And then you've
(40:06):
got like a seas candy store that's given out like
peppermint Reindeers as samples, and so everybody's got to try
one of those, and they've gotta try it. Like all
these every store has got a sale to paint in
the ass. So if you're one of those people that thought,
don't worry about it, I got Christmas Eve, I'll knock
it all out on Christmas Eve. Al Right, well, you've
got a choice here. You can either buy gifts that
(40:26):
you haven't gotten for your family, or you can watch football.
I think we know what the answer is gonna be.
So that means today's your final day. It's gonna be
a mess. So thoughts and prayers for anybody venturing out
into that wild world as we get into the weekend,
because we're watching football coming up tomorrow. Fox Sports Radio

So I've identified a team in the NFL. No matter
what happens this weekend, they're gonna lose. It's over right.
(01:24):
I'm just giving you the heads up, right. I don't
care what the score says. I don't care if it's tie,
I don't care. Like whatever happens, it's gonna be a
loss for one team in the NFL, al right, So
be prepared for this. That team is the Dallas Cowboys.
(01:46):
You're screwed, Like if you're if you're a Cowboy fan,
you're screwed. Right now, the news of Jalen Hurts being out,
you're probably thinking to yourself, well, that increases the Cowboys
chances of winning that game. That's act Jalen Hurts. You know,
it was in the lead for the m v P
before he suffered this shoulder injury against the Bears last week.
(02:09):
So the news coming out that Jalen Hurts is gonna
miss this game, when you're gonna get Gardner Minshew coming
up on Saturday, I mean, if you're one of these
Cowboy fans out there. You're feeling great about it, but
it's bad news if you actually sit and think about it. Now.
It's also bad news for Jalen Hurts fantasy owners. I mean,
that's just that's a rough way to go. Like, you
(02:31):
work all this time, you draft Jalen Hurts, people probably
mocking you. Why did you draft Jalen Hurts. You get
to the playoffs and then you realize, oh, he's not
gonna play. It's now you're scrambling. You probably overpaid for
Gardner Minshew, and now you're trying to hold onto your
hopes and dreams that Gardner Minshew, who hasn't started a
game all season long, is gonna be able to step
in against a really good Cowboys defense and perform. So
(02:55):
thoughts and prayers to all of you out there who
do own Jalen Hurts and your fantasy team and fantasy league.
Not not an ideal situation heading into the playoffs for
most people in their fantasy leagues. But point being the
other group this is not good news for is the Cowboys,
no matter what you say, because this game just became
(03:16):
a waste of your energy. I'm telling you that right
now it became a waste of your energy. Now I'm
not telling you not to watch. You absolutely should watch.
As we mentioned, if you don't watch football, if you're
not a fan of the NFL, you're a loser. These
are clear line in the sand statements here, like you're
(03:37):
either on one side or the other. If you're on
the other side, you're a loser. So watch the game.
It's on Fox. It's gonna do massive numbers. I don't
know if it'll do as many numbers as they did
on Thanksgiving between the Giants and the Cowboys, but I
think it's going to do a huge number and a
huge rating, and it's going to be fantastic television. And
you know, the Dallas Cowboys are gonna have a red
(03:59):
ass against Nick Sirianni, who yelled that's game f you
from the sideline the first meeting and then was shouting
and yelling and you know, doing all sorts of obscenities
and you name it walking into the tunnel afterwards. You know,
the Cowboys are gonna get fired up for it. And
they've been having to hear it all week about their
performance at Jacksonville and then the previous week's performance against
(04:22):
Houston a game they should have lost, so you know,
doubt it's gonna come out. So if you're a Cowboy fan,
you feel great. Hey, Christmas weekend is not gonna be ruined.
We got a backup quarterback. Were piste off about the
first time we saw these guys. We're gonna get even
and we're gonna beat the Philadelphia Eagles, and you might,
but you're still gonna lose. You can't win no matter
(04:43):
what because if the game's over and you're ahead on
the scoreboard, what are they gonna say? Yeah, but it
was Gardner Minshew. Now, I mean we saw it happened
the first time you guys played. You know, uh, I
mean didn't look all that hot. I mean so cool.
I mean you're Dak Prescott. You can beat a backup quarterback,
(05:03):
but yeah, you couldn't be Jalen Hurts the first time around.
Like you played a starter in his second year in
Trevor Lawrence last week and you couldn't beat him either.
That's what the narrative is gonna be, that that these
are what we're like, this is what's going to be discussed. Yeah,
you won the game, but backup quarterback and God forbid
you lose that game. If you're the Dallas Cowboys, if
(05:27):
you thought the ridicule and ball busting that you've been
getting from people who are Cowboy haters or doubters of
Dak Prescott, if you thought that was bad over the
past few weeks, you've seen nothing yet. If you lose
this game to Philadelphia, who clinches home field in your
(05:50):
backyard during a holiday weekend, in front of thirty or
forty million people watching, If you lose this game, I mean,
I'm not I would recommend listening to Fox Sports Radio.
I would recommend watching FS one, you know, like I would,
(06:13):
I would probably be very careful, and I would just
be aware that you're going to be the punchline for
a long time afterwards. It's gonna get bad. Now. What
it actually changes in the grand scheme of things, not
really much, because, I mean, Philly was going to get
the one seed anyways, and you're already in the playoffs
and you know you're you're gonna have to go on
(06:33):
the road the first week, and who knows, maybe you'll
face Tampa Bay who's wounded. I like Dallas in that game,
regardless of what happens to Tampa Bay down. The stretcher
of Tom Brady figures it out. But in the whole
grand scheme of things, it's not gonna mean much except
for the fact that you lost to a backup quarterback.
So all the other discussions that you've been having about
(06:54):
making a legitimate run and being a legitimate threat in
the NFC, all that goes away. It's over. And if
you think about it in a grand scheme of things,
if you were to meet Philly in the playoffs again,
it's tough to beat a team three times. It's tough
to do. We saw what happened last year. Rams forty
Niners met in the playoffs. Forty Niners owned them in
(07:15):
the regular season. All of a sudden, they get to
the NFC title game and the Rams figured it out.
A dropped interception helped, but the Rams figured it out.
It's tough to beat a team three times in a season.
So you do have that going for you. But as
far as this weekend goes, lose, lose, you win the game,
you beat a backup, You lose the game you lost
(07:36):
to a backup, and Philly clinched the one seed in
the NFC. That's a bad situation to be in. It
would be like the woman who broke your heart calls
you and says, I mean, you've been fixated on this,
you want to get back together. She ripped your heart out,
has destroyed your life, ruined you. She calls you up
(07:57):
and says, I'd like to get back together. And it's
like the moment you've been waiting for because all you
wanted was another chance. You wanted to be back together.
You were waiting for that call. You were hoping for
that call. She says, I've learned my lesson. I realize
you're the one. Let's get back together. Only to find
(08:21):
out that she was dating Dirk Diggler while you guys
were broken up. That's a rough way to go because hey, on,
on one hand, I mean, it's a woman of your dreams,
your love. You're no longer heartbroken. On the other hand,
while she was away it uh, you know, things are
a little different when she gets back, you know what
(08:42):
I mean, Like all of a sudden, you gotta worry
about that thought in the back of somebody's said for
the rest of your life. So there's that. Like some situations,
no matter what, it may seem like a win it's
not a win. And if you're the Cowboys or if
your Cowboys fans, there's no a This goes in the
direction of we feel great about things. This is gonna
(09:04):
be awesome afterwards. This is gonna be fantastic because no
matter what happens, the doubters are still gonna be there.
A Cowboy fans know this too. They can be as
defiant about it as they want. They could say whatever
they want about it. We've seen this story, and we've
seen this for years with the Dallas Cowboys for years,
(09:26):
and this is one of those situations that's gonna feel
like a tease. It's why Mike McCarthy was put in
such an awful spot by Jerry Jones in the preseason,
Like what's Mike McCarthy gotta do to make sure he's
going to be the long term answer a coach? Like
just like, just like, play out the scenarios. Even if
(09:48):
Mike McCarthy improves on last year's performance, which was went
to the playoffs, lost in the first round. If they
go to the playoffs this year, and let's pla this out,
they take on Tampa Bay and it's at Tampa Bay.
If you were to just isolate that discussion. You would say,
(10:10):
here's a head coach, and here's a team who went
on the road in the playoffs and beat the goat
Tom Brady, a team who just won a Super Bowl
a couple of years ago, and they did it on
the road to open up the playoffs. For any other coach,
your job is safe. For Mike McCarthy. The seats still
(10:33):
hot because if you if the next round you play
Philly and you get smashed, regardless of whether or not
you win this game this weekend or not, you're probably
gonna get clipped. Because that's how Jerry Jones has set
this up. That's how he's built this impossible task going
(10:53):
into the season. So it's kind of like you're you're
wasting your energy, like you're holding onto every single week.
Is Dallas gonna do it? Are they gonna do this? Like,
oh my god, Jalen Hurts is out. You know, we're
playing Gardner Minshew. All the the odds completely changed and
within the other direction. And I got news for you.
I actually think Dallas would have won this game even
(11:14):
if Jalen Hurts with the quarterback. But the fact that
he's out, the fact that he's not gonna be there.
You're gonna win this game most likely, as as as
the opinion of the betting markets would tell you. And
it's not gonna matter. It's a waste of energy. It's
the one game and the rare moments in life. No
(11:36):
matter what the scoreboard says, no matter how many points
you got, no matter how good you look, You're going
to lose regardless. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, Jonas

that story here coming up in a little over ten
minutes from now. Um Brno is a dirt bag, by
the way, for you, For you people out here that
don't have a sense of humor, because God forbid, I'm
(13:43):
not playing a violin for the Patriots fan who got
yelled at by that slob that lady at the Raiders game,
and the Patriots are are doing something nice for him
and flying him out to a game, and he's going
to be there for the game. Like what am I
supposed to do? Like, like like stand up and applaud
(14:03):
the Patriots for flying some guy there, their billionaire owner
for flying out some fan because a Raider fan was
mean to him. Like, you know how many times people
to go to games and there's somebody who's rooting for
the other team that's mean to him. Some guy just
got his finger bitten off at a hockey game. Like,
did anybody fly that guy out and say, hey, bad,
(14:26):
We understand you know you got a little bit of
a problem here. We get all that. Um, we'd love
to fly out to the game. Never mind the fact

the New England Patriots? Cool? What are we supposed to
like do? What do you want me to say about it? Neat?
(15:08):
So you flew fly other people out to games? In fact,
I'll tell you what this is what you should do.
Let's document every time an opposing fan goes to a
game and somebody's mean to them, and see how many
organizations are also going to feel bad for you and
fly out to games like let's let's go ahead. It's
(15:30):
a nice diversionary tactic. I mean, it's a it's a
great play by the Raider or by the Patriots. Here, hey, everybody,
look away from the burning building. Okay, get a look
look at the nice the nice flower arrangement. All right,
what about the house that's burning behind you? Don't worry
about that. Look at this flower arrangement we put together.
We're even growing our own avocados here, Like your house
(15:52):
is on fire in the background, Like what about that?
Like everything's burning to the ground. No no, no, no no, no, no, no, no,
don't don't pay attention to that. We're we're growing high
bit skiss here and we're even trying to plant pon
setias for next winter time. We've even thought about putting
up a couple of mini Christmas trees. Your house is
burning down though, behind you don't worry about all that.
Look at the flower arrangement here. It's like Robert Krafts, like, hey,
(16:16):
forget about the fact that we just lost on one
of the worst plays in the history of the sport.
Forget about all that, and it was a catastrophic loss,
and we've been the laughing stock of the league. Forget
about all that. We're gonna fly some guy out to
a game next week because an opposing fan was mean
to him. I'm sorry, I just don't care. What do
(16:37):
you want me to do? Alright, So, so to to
anybody complaining on Twitter because I don't have a violin
out for some guy who got yelled at by a
woman at a game, I'm sorry, Like, like, play the
violin for that guy who lost his finger at a
hockey game. Okay, what about him? What about him? Huh?
You know what that guy's good life is gonna be
(16:57):
Like you think he's gonna get a discount when he
goes to get a manicure. Probably not. You think they're
gonna go, you know what, you only got nine that
we worked on. Let's forget, you know, like, we're going
to charge you full price. Now he's gonna go into
one of those nail salons. Are gonna say sorry, you
pay the same price as everybody else. I don't see
anybody else playing the violence for that guy, all right,
I don't see anybody playing the violin for him. Hiddink.
(17:19):
That guy feels goes to run his his hands through
his hair, and he's like, what happened here? All right?
How do you think that guy feels? How's that guy
was supposed to play with a squirk gun for the
rest of his life? Guy just had his finger bitten off.
You imagine that holding a squirkgun, trying to show people
(17:41):
in the neighborhood like, this is how you use a squirkgun?
Like what do you mean how do you use a squirkun?
Why don't use your feet? See if you can get
it to work, then how would you know about using
a squirkgun? Oh? You got a super soaker for Christmas. Cool.
Don't take it over to Todd. He can't use it
unless he steps down on the trigger. I've seen Abody
flying that guy out to a game. Kiss my ass?
(18:05):
All right? Uh, two pros and a cup of Joe.
Fox Sports Radio Jonas knocks in here. By the way, fellas,
it is time to stop treating your groins like junk,
introducing the Gillette Intimate Pubic hair Trimmer, a gentle and
easy shade from America's number one trusted men's grooming brand.
Show your pubic regions some respect with Gillette Intimate, the
best demand can get. All right, I don't want to
(18:27):
be because this show is all about positivity. As you
can clearly here on this show, we're all about the
positive stuff here. There's no snark here. We're not a
bunch of smart asses. We try and do the positive
stuff here on this show. Okay, I don't mean to
be negative, I really don't. I just get a really
(18:48):
bad feeling about the Detroit Lions this weekend. All right, now,
If if you are a Lions fan, okay, this has
been a great season. Not only was your team featured
on Hard Knox, not only have people started to rally
around what Dan Campbell is building. And I love what
Dan Campbell's building. And we said it before earlier on
(19:09):
this show. If you were to ask me right now,
who would you rather have in the playoffs the crappy
Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the Detroit Lions. I'll take Detroit.
I think that Jared goff rebound is awesome. I think
he was thrown under the bus by Sean McVeigh and
the Rams organization. He's played better than Jared Goff for
a lot of his time being in Detroit in comparison
(19:31):
to the Rams. I know, I know Matt Stafford or
he's played better than Matt Stafford Jared Goff as I
know he wants super Bowl, But if you just look
at the numbers, come on, man with with a lot
less to work with, Jared gosspin pretty impressive and he's
played really well and they've completely changed the culture and
of that organization. It's an awesome, awesome thing that's happening
(19:52):
there with Dan Campbell and company. But if you're Alliance fan,
done this weekend, feel like one of those games you're
gonna lose, you know what I'm saying, Like you're at Carolina.
Caroline is not good? All right? Your your favorite in
this game? Detroit still holding onto playoff hopes. This just
(20:15):
feels like one of those ones where it's like, man,
you get your hopes up only to find out same
old story. Guy, just you know, like like say, like
you thought somebody learned their lesson the same old story.
It's like like like having a buddy who's a drug addict. Hey, man,
you're not doing any of the stuff anymore. No, absolutely not,
(20:37):
Like come on, man, I've turned my life around. Like listen,
I'm on a really good stretch here. I've completely turned
my life around. And then you go over to his
house and you wonder why you can't find spoons? Hey,
what happened? Why is that? Why is that? We got
a bird mark underneath it? I don't understand. And man,
you've lost a lot of weight. What's going on here?
(20:59):
Like like you know, it's like all you got in
your cupboard is like saltines and dog treats? Ad he eat.
I don't I understand what's going on? Like what's I like?
And I say, this is somebody who grew up a
Cubs fan. There's there was always a feeling whenever the
Cubs got into the playoffs, whenever they got into the postseason.
(21:20):
I said it. You want to go to the most
depressing sporting event on planet Earth, Go to a Cubs
playoff game at Wrigley Field. When they start to trail
at around the fifth inning, it's like a morgue. People
are just waiting for something bad to happen. And if
(21:42):
you're a Detroit Lions fan, you know what the hell
I'm talking about, Because you're feeling great about things, you're
still like, I mean, the momentum of the organization, what
Dan Campbell has built. And then you're gonna be taken
on Carolina this weekend, and all of a sudden, it's
going to be the second quarter, you're down by like
ten or twelve points, and you're gonna be looking around
(22:04):
at each other going I knew it. I knew it.
I just can't can't. This is I mean typical, this
is Lions football. Never Mind you're one of the few
good stories of the league. Never Mind the fact the
entire culture of the organization has changed and it's been tremendous.
All it takes is for them to have one slip
(22:26):
up and all the good feelings and good vibes go
bye bye. And I just get this weird feeling that's
going to happen at some point this weekend for the
Detroit Lions and that fan base. Jonas Knox Here Fox
Sports Radio, two Pros and a cup of Joe. Here
on fs ARE, you can hang out with us as
always on the I Heart Radio app. All right, So
there's a story in the NFL that you continue to
(22:47):
be force fed. I'm tired of it. You're tired of it.
We're gonna call it out. We're doing it next here
on fs ARE. But for all the latest from around
the world of sports, roll out the red carpet in
your ears and tell anybody making too much noise around
you to shut their damn mouse. It's Eddie Garcia. It's up, Eddie. Yeah,
I gotta I got. I think I got a winner
on the Scratchers here, did you think so? All right?
(23:08):
So for the new audience, UM, I got the guy's
lotto Scratchers because it's fun to see who wins and
who doesn't if you pull from the same role. So Lee,
you won twenty dollars and a ticket. That's right, Berno,
would you win nine dollars and two tickets, nine dollars
and two tickets, And Eddie, would you win? I think
I got a hundred and two dollars in a ticket. No,
(23:30):
you didn't know. I've got the little little reindeer and
it says win hundred dollars and it says it says
on the bottom, uncover the reindeer symbol to automatically win
that prize. No waydeer. Yeah, yeah, I gotta see can
you take can you put it on Twitter? I don't
even know if you want to put it on Twitter
because I'm like, you know, A you're gonna get in
(23:52):
trouble for doing that. I don't know. Yeah, well, because
then who knows some of these liquor story you can't
take it to the liquor store down the street from there.
They're lying about their prices all the time, so you
gotta be careful on that. Yeah, Eddie, I'm talking about
(24:13):
hunter Bucks. Yeah, you know it's great about giving a
lot of scratchers as a Christmas gift. Eddie can say,
you know, Jonahs got me a hundred two dollars for Christmas,
and Burno tell his wife I got nine dollars and
two tickets from him. That's great, man, Little scratches are great.
Do you want a hundred bucks? That's awesome. Good for you.
(24:35):
I've never well I don't What do they say, you
can't win if you don't play. That's true. I never play,
so uh, this is the first time I've ever want
to think. So what do I just take it? Like
to the local liquor story like really never really never played?
Or no, no, no really, Yeah, they'll scan the back
the back of it. They'll give your money. Just go.
There's a liquor store right down the street from there.
(24:55):
And they can't be trusted. And these wants down the street,
these guys can't be trusted. Those hooligans. Well, I mean
they're always lying where just walking to seven eleven. They're
gonna give you a hundred How are you gonna get
a cash? You gonna go all twenties, So you're gonna
go with a hundred dollar bill quarters. This is funny.
That'd be awesome to piss everybody off. By the way,
(25:16):
if you want to really piss somebody off, go into
a liquor store and buy a lot of Scratchers. If
you buy an entire book, because they got to count
it out individually. They're not happy when you have to
do that, and they only accept cash when you do.
But you're gonna actually walk in and get something back.
Christ good for you, Eddie Garcia, everybody. Yeah, there you go.
(25:37):
You know I got I got scratchers for for people
in my family that just certified nobody else's winnings. All
my family's gonna be just out of money. I did
deserve it more than them, I agree. You know who
also deserved to win, Not the Jets, the Jaguars. Last
(25:59):
night Thursday night football in the meadow Lands and Jacksonville
gets the nineteen to three win over New York. Riley
Patterson was the offensive star of this when booting four
field goals for the Jacks. Turvor Lawrence scored the only
touchdown of the game, a one yard run for him.
Zack Wilson, meanwhile, for the Jets, didn't go too well
for him nine and eighteen, passing ninety two yards, an
(26:20):
interception and got benched in the third quarter and replaced
by Chris Trubler. Jacksonville's seven and eight, but they're a
half game back of Tennessee for the a f C
South lead. The Jets are also seven and eight, but
they're not gonna win the division, so they need a
wild card and problem is there behind Miami, New England
and Jacksonville at this point. News from the NFL Eagles
quarterback Jalen Hurts expect to miss Saturday's game against the
(26:42):
Cowboys with that shoulder injury. Gardner Mitschew expected to start.
Ravens quarterback Lamar jackson'll miss his third straight game with
a knee injury. Tyler Huntley we'll get to start against
the Falcons. Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill likely out for the
season but definitely gonna miss this week with an ankle
injury against the Texans, so Malik Willis gets the start.
College football was apparently like thirteen degrees in Fort Worth,
(27:03):
Texas for the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force gets the
thirty to fifteen went over Baylor Falcons finished the year
at ten and three. In baseball, an independent arbiture reduced
Dodgers pitture Treumbor Bowers three hundred and twenty four games
suspension for violating Baseball's domestic violence policy two hundred and
ninety four games, and he has been reinstated, effective immediately.
Dodgers now had fourteen days to release power or add
(27:26):
them to their forty man rosster. In the NBA, just
two games Pelicans over the Spurs, seventeen c J. McCollum,
forty points for New Orleans Jazz over the Wizards. On
one twelve, NHL, we had the Bruins beating the Jets
three to Boston now twenty six four and two on
the year, best record in the league, and they're eighteen
oh and two now at home, Capitals beating the Senators
(27:46):
three too and overtime no goals for Washington star Alexander Roveskin.
He still one away from tying Gordy Alper second on
the all time goals scored list. Now back to Jonas
Knocks and the Tire Act dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios,
Rich and Fancy, Eddie Garcia over there by the You're
gonna rub that in Ben Mallor's face when he comes
back that listen, Ben, I mean some of us work
(28:09):
on the holidays, and uh, you know, I don't think
I can do that quite well because I usually take
every holiday. Yeah, but the one, the one you worked,
you want a hundred dollars on a lot of ah,
that's so awesome, all right. It is two pros and
a cup of joe here from the entire rack dot
(28:31):
com studios. Is that he pointed out by the way
coming out in, we'll call it about twelve minutes from now.
This is gonna be some of the most valuable advice
you'll get all weekend long, and we're going to have
that for you here. So again, twelve minutes from now,
stick around for that here on fs are um god
man this story. ESPN reported on Thursday that the Washington
(28:56):
Commanders Charitable Foundation may have some questionable finance chill dealings.
There were quote unquote some red flags after an investigation.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah. I'm so tired of
this crap. I'm so tired of hearing about the Commanders.
I'm so tired of hearing about all the scandals. I'm
(29:17):
so tired of hearing about how bad the organization is.
I'm so tired of hearing about Dan Snyder. I'm tired
of these reports. Would somebody just figure out a way
to get him to like they're putting in bids today,
Like somebody put in a bid that's gonna knock his
socks off and let's just move on with our lives.
I'm sick of it, man, I'm done with it, like
(29:42):
no matter what, somehow, some way, the Washington commanders are
a punchline. And I'm not saying they don't deserve all
of it. I'm not, But how many investigations do you
need before you realize, Okay, we get it, it's a disaster.
But I don't I remember on weekend overnights years ago,
(30:04):
doing this story that came out of the Washington Post
where they talked about all the drinking inside the building
in Washington, like Scott McCluin, who was a former general manager,
who uh, well, you have some stuff about Scott mcluhin
and you know, maybe certain reporters at certain networks and
things like that and some accusations. But again we're not
(30:26):
here to talk about any of that stuff. But Scott McCluin,
who was gone from Washington, and this stuff came out
that Scott mc McCluin had a problem with the bottle,
that he was drinking too much and all these other
and then there was like this deep dive about what
it was really like inside the building, and that uh,
you know, there was the people that were associated, you know,
(30:47):
with the organization. In the front office. There would be cores,
light cans lying around the building and like this stuff
has gone on for years, like inappropriate work, ace behavior
all and look, all of that is legit and and
it can't there can be this many reports and it
be completely false. So I get it, but I feel
(31:11):
like we're beating a dead horse here, Like Okay, what
a shock. Uh there's some red flags with the Commander's
Charitable Foundation. Boy, what a stunning development. My god, what
else you gonna tell? Oh my god, Hey, the Sean
Taylor statue, they screwed it up, But don't worry. They've
made some adjustments. They changed the adida's logo to a
(31:34):
Nike logo or they or vice versa. And they put
tape on the face mask like he used to wear.
Like what are you expecting? Like early last year, remember
it was the sewer line burst. Oh my god, even
the sewage lines don't work here. They're overflowing into the
stadium and fans are getting getting wet from and then
(31:55):
you come to find out, well, no, it wasn't really
a sewage line like they tried to make it seem
like fans showed up to a football game ready to
support their team and then like had to walk out
of there like Andy Dufrain escaping Shah Shang just crawling
through a river of crap to try and get two freedom.
Like what, like, I get it, they're a mess, Like
(32:18):
the organization has been run poorly? Got it? Dan Snyder
has got a questionable background, got it? Like what was
the giveaway? Him hiding on a yacht so eating get
subpoenaed because that's normal behavior, Like I don't know what
else you like? How many more of these stories do
we need? Yet? For some reason, it's a field day
(32:41):
another stories out there. ESPN has got another deep dive
report on the dysfunction in Washington. Cool, sell the team,
let's move on. Give it to Jeff Bezos. Bezos wants
to you know, to take a loan out against his
crank shuttle and by the commandos go do it. Like
(33:01):
I'm just I'm tired of the story. Every single week,
there's some story about the commanders every week. Well they're
being investigated. Now Congress is involved, and you know, I
don't know what's It's like okay, man, Like they're they're
not a bad football team, all right, Like you know,
(33:22):
Taylor Heineke's kind of a mediocre quarterback, but he rips
bush lights on the on the team flight home. All right.
You know it's kind of a likable story. And then
you saw you know, the the the guys that made
the Pro Bowl and they were emotional and all that stuff.
Like there's there's feel good stories when it comes to
the Commanders. Yet all of that gets completely overblown and
completely overlooked because we got to focus on more of
(33:44):
the scandal with the front office. We got it. We
understand everything they touched turns to crap. We get all that.
I have a buddy whose nickname is the gas Can.
You want to know why his nicknames the gas Can.
Everything the guy touches turns awful, Like, hey, we just
(34:05):
got brand new plates. That guy walks five ft away
from a plate and forces augusta wind that knocks it
off the table and it shatters. He destroys everything. We
went to a place that just opened, They remodeled, They
put up a billiards table upstairs for people to play pool.
(34:28):
They just opened. They were open for a couple hours.
What do you think that guy did when he was
playing pool, our buddy the gas can. He swung on
his back swing too hard and knocked a hole in
the wall. They had been open for two hours. That's
the commandos, That's what they do. But how many stories
(34:49):
do you need of the same vibe? Ah, red flags,
more scandal? I get it? Can we just move on?
Sell the team? Let's move on on Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio Jonas Knocks with

Just everything's gonna be all right, by the way. Coming
up top the next hour, we are going to look
back and we are going to hear some some thoughts
and some words from somebody in the NFL who's got
(36:15):
no more answers. They got no more answers for you,
trying their best, took a big swing and they failed,
and we'll get into that for you here coming up
about ten minutes from now. Um, all right, so I
mentioned that this is gonna be really valuable advice for
you because that's what we're trying to do on this show.
We're trying to help you and trying to make your
navigation into a holiday weekend that much easier. Right, That's
(36:38):
what we try and do here on this show. Right.
So obviously it's you know, Christmas coming up this weekend.
I'm just letting you know right now, today, Friday, December
twenty two, is going to be the worst shopping day.
You can remember in recent history telling you that right
(37:03):
now it's going to be a disaster. If you haven't
completed your Christmas shopping, you're screwed. I'm just telling you
right now, it's most likely too late for for a
lot of places to ship, and with some of the
weather in the Midwest and in certain parts of the country,
things are being delayed. Like it's just it's that's so
(37:26):
you're already up against it. Today is going to be
a disaster, and you're probably thinking to yourself, what do
you mean we got two days till Christmas? We got today,
we got tomorrow. I'll do half it today, half it tomorrow.
Hold on a second, you do you think anybody is
gonna miss Wall to Wall NFL coming up tomorrow to
(37:49):
go to a mall to go shopping. I don't care.
If my kid said to me, Dad, I really really
really want to go see Santa Claus at the mall,
I would say, Well, if I were you, I'd take
a Santa hat and a beard and I put it
on that TV because we're watching the football games. And
if I were you, I'd pretend that Santa Claus because
other than that, you ain't seeing him. This is what
(38:12):
people do. We procrastinate. We wait until Christmas Eve, and
then we go out and we pick up a few things.
I'm gonna grab a few things. I'm gonna go to
the ball. It's already a disaster. It's already a mess.
But the problem is Christmas Eve is out. There's football on. If.
If if you are a football fan, and I know
(38:35):
you are because you listen to Fox Sports Radio and
you listen to this show, you understand Christmas eves over.
You got games this weekend. A Saturday is filled with games.
We're talking frigid like TV quality, snow, all the other
elements things like that, you got fantasy football, you got gambling,
(38:59):
you all these other things going on. You think anybody
is gonna want to go hang out in a mall
tomorrow to go get last minute shopping done. It's not happening.
Everybody realizes, oh god, I gotta get it done today.
I don't want to miss all those games tomorrow. So
if you haven't already completed your shopping, I'm just telling you,
it's just a fair warning. It's just a heads up.
(39:23):
All right, good luck, man. Let's look. I went to
the mall earlier this week. This is a few days ago.
It's awful. Talked about it on the show. It's as
it was just a terrible experience. You can't get anywhere quick,
and everybody's you know, standing around kind of stroll. It's
like a lot of people take time off work this
(39:44):
week to try and finish up the year. I mean,
I'm trying to be efficient. I'm like, dude, I gotta
get home. We've got work tomorrow morning. I just want
to get in and get out. That's all I want.
And then it's either somebody's got their kids staring up
at some fake Christmas tree in the mall, or there's
like this long ass line outside Pretzel Maker where everybody's like, oh,
I'm gonna forget about my diet here. And then you've
(40:06):
got like a seas candy store that's given out like
peppermint Reindeers as samples, and so everybody's got to try
one of those, and they've gotta try it. Like all
these every store has got a sale to paint in
the ass. So if you're one of those people that thought,
don't worry about it, I got Christmas Eve, I'll knock
it all out on Christmas Eve. Al Right, well, you've
got a choice here. You can either buy gifts that
(40:26):
you haven't gotten for your family, or you can watch football.
I think we know what the answer is gonna be.
So that means today's your final day. It's gonna be
a mess. So thoughts and prayers for anybody venturing out
into that wild world as we get into the weekend,
because we're watching football coming up tomorrow. Fox Sports Radio

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
