You know so well what an ill beat in history?

I don't know if you guys were aware of this,
but the NFL season kicks off this week coming up
in a couple of days. When are we doing our
season picks? You want to do it tomorrow, You want
(01:23):
a Thursday, because to you you can get this smoke.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm ready to go Thursday. I'd like every moment I
can get injury information, the rosters.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
All set, all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
As I said to you before, Jonas, everyone thinks that
final cutdown is the final cutdown.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
There's still some moving and shaking and stuff going on
right now. Think about San Francisco, for example, Trent Williams,
who may very well be missing games this season. As
Jonas is prayed for someone to actually hold out, there's
such a clown.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I know, I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But the truth of the matter is that a player
that currently you got to keep on the roster, but
you've got to have some offensive line depth in the
event that he does hold out and he does miss games,
because if he does, he's even me out there, right,
you gotta have someone you have a backup for that
person too. So because of that, rosters are set like
(02:17):
ninety eight percent ninety nine percent, there's still that one
or two percent that that that could change, and that
still happens up to week one literally day of the
game for each team.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
So I'd like all that all the time. I can
get it.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Do you want to know why I'm hoping one of
these holdouts bleeds into the season. Why let me tell
you why. Why I'm doing it for us? Okay, that
hope is for us, and it's hoped for everybody else
in our industry who had to discuss these stories during
the offseason, and if they all just get resolved at
the end, what was the point? So I want to
(02:53):
look back and realize. Also, we didn't waste a bunch
of time talking about Trent Williams. He actually stuck to
his guns and he actually hold out into the season. Also,
we didn't waste all that time talking about Jamar Chase.
He actually told Gold Coast or gold Star whatever it is,
the chili company there, keep your tip, jar, I don't
need these discount TVs being sold to try and pay
(03:14):
my checks. I'm out until you guys offer up the
kind of money I'm looking for and we can look
back and go it wasn't a waste of time, Like
I'm doing this for us, all right, So I think
a little bit more respect and credit should be throwing
my way for standing, standing up for the industry and
letting everybody know that we're doing God's work here trying
to discuss topics that actually mean something with these guys
(03:35):
hold out in.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
The season.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
On the telepropo, on the teleprompter, man, come on, okay, Witlock,
look at that. Just called me Whitlock. Who damn that's
your guy. Now that being said, uh, we do have
a couple of games coming up here in the NFL,
one being the Thursday night game Ravens Chiefs, which we
(04:03):
can get into. The other one being the Friday game
Eagles Packers. I mean, look, it's a great game, could
be potentially an NFC championship preview. The best part is
it's going to be all the way over in Brazil.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Is that the best part?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, and it don't sound like it. It seemed like
it was until you heard some Eagles players be very
vocal about the fact that they're not happy about having
to go there, one of those being Darius Slay, who
was on the Big Play Shaye podcast, which, by the way,
at some point somebody's gonna run out of names for podcasts,
like we got to figure this thing out. But he
(04:39):
was on the Big play Shay podcast and he discussed
his concerns with going to Brazil week.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
More and I am looking forward to it. I can't wait.
But man, I do not want to go to Brazil.
And you want to know why, I'm here to tell
you why. They already told us not to lead a hotel.
They told us we can't do too much going on
because it's the crowd rate.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
It is crazy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I'm like NFL, you know, I want to send us
somewhere with the crimewaight this high and like we got
the country, so you know, the first thing people think
is like something terbor can possibly happen. I told my family,
do not come down there because I'm not gonna be
no where to be found. That would be in the hotel,
chilling mount of my business, playing my game after loan
nine and a half hour flight, so I don't have
(05:19):
no intentions on doing thathing. I'm gonna eat hotel food,
I'm doing everything. But they said, yeah, man, it's gonna
be pretty crazy down there.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
You know.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
The police said they gonna be, you know, try to
be the best they could possibly be, the top flight
security of the world, create you know, what I'm saying.
So we hope for that man, but I do go
down there to come down there with a win.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
It does feel like, you know, we were discussing this
a little bit yesterday, but it does feel like, you know,
maybe this would have been a better idea for a
preseason game.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
I think that makes a ton of sense. Preseason makes sense,
regular season. I'm just not sure why they would do that,
you know, And if you're going to take them down
there to be a show spectacle for the National Football League,
the least you could do is make sure that they're
able to experience the place that they're going. And if
(06:12):
that place isn't safe enough for them to go do
those things, then I don't understand why you take your
employees and send them there for the show. It just
it seems counterproductive. You're gonna fly there, You're going to
keep them in the hotels, Like, what is this? Is
(06:33):
this like a regular game? Is this like a regular
game schedule? So are they going down on Saturday? Because
if they're going down on Saturday, if they leave to
go there for Saturday and they played the game on
Sunday and they come back, then I guess it's not
that big of a deal. But if it's one of
those more extended stays, like they're there for for more
(06:55):
than three or four days, then that doesn't make sense
to me that you would take them to a place
where they can only be in the hotel at the
safest place.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
They're leaving tomorrow, So the Eagles are leaving Wednesday.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Wednesday, so Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah, so three three days,
three days in your hotel in a different place. I mean,
I just you know, I don't know. But but security
with football is different than other sports. They monitor you
differently than other sports. From what I can gather, basketball
(07:31):
players they get a ton of free time. They're they're
not very you know, they're not on you know, curfew
or anything like that. It's like we're here, show up
to shoot around and then be there for the game
type stuff. It's not like that in football. It's just superstructured.
They have you structured out from breakfast, through walkthroughs, through meetings,
(07:56):
through a lunch, through more walkthroughs, through more meetings. Maybe
it's a practice, I don't know, but it's it's much
more regimented. It's much more structured than what you would
probably assume. So I don't know, maybe it's not that
big of a deal, but I just don't know why
you would take them to a place where if they're
(08:17):
saying that the safety of it and and the crime
rate of it, we're going to do our best to
keep you guys safe, I don't know why you take
them there.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I mean, it's a little late in the game, but
you know, Ricky Piersall just got shot.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
Like maybe this is and that wasn't in Brazil, but yeah,
that was in San.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Francisco, which you know that that's the whole story is wild.
I mean, obviously thoughts and prayers are with him, but
it sounded like it all came via a a card signing,
remember Bill you signing, and then some guys saw his
watch and then followed him back to his place to
try to get it.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
He went to his car through card in the afternoon.
I guess he was going shot after the signing, and
then some guy rolled up seventeen year old with a
gun and wrestled. He got shot. I think the seventeen
year old got shot.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
As well too.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
But I mean, hey, you know what, at least you
know San Francisco's in the rotation for the Super Bowl,
you know. So that's good. Yeah, that'll be fun, fun
for everybody. But yeah, I just I look at the
Brazil stuff and I go, I know, like the growing
of the game, but I feel like you could have
done a preseason game that would have not had as
much of an impact maybe on the regular season. Traveling back,
(09:33):
like I was saying, I wonder what Week two is
going to look like for these teams, because Philly's got
a Monday night game but green Bay doesn't. And yeah
they're both at home, but I wont if there's going
to be any dragging ass in week two. You know,
who the hell knows whether or not those guys are
going to have any sort of fun when they go
out to Brazil, you know, if they are, they just
getting on the flight right at the season with a
(09:54):
little bit more time with guys going to training camp,
you know, maybe needing a little bit of a break
like a right you did the trip to Japan, wasn't
that like a welcomed break from training camp when you
were like, oh damn, we're going to get to go
overseas and it's kind of like almost like a field
trip in the middle of training camp in the preseason
(10:15):
and may be a little bit more excited about it
than having to interrupt your season in your year by
throwing a bunch of guys on a plane, sending them
over ten hours and trying to figure out a regular
season game in another country. It feels problematic, and we've
got to all right, so we are. We've got technical
difficulties here. So if you were wondering whether or not
(10:35):
that was a poor question to ask LeVar, probably, But
the better story is the fact that they both dropped.
We just Jonas Knox and let me be honest with you,
probably the bestest show's ever sounded, if we're going to
be really upfront about the whole thing. All right, So
riverside to those guys and we were off and running
here on a Tuesday morning. How about that, Eddie. They
(11:00):
ain't here to fight back this time. That's how it works,
That's the way this goes.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Technology is usually a wonderful thing.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I mean, it's fun, you know that stuff it happens.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Now, the good thing about going over to Brazil, though,
if you want to cover the game, if you're an
NFL reporter for the Packers or for the Eagles. You, yeah,
you're not allow. Yeah, that's been banned. So and it's
like a nine thousand dollars fine if you use like
a different VPN to try and access X to go
on there.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So if you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Really like tweeting, if you're a big fan of it,
I hope it's worth the nine g's that's going to
cost you if you decide to go down that road.
When it comes to the NFL going to Brazil.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Yeah, I just I just found out about this that
it's not it's nothing you know, specific to the NFL.
It's the country country of Brazil is at war with
Elon mus Yes.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, as a whole because because they don't like the
fact that Elon Musk is promoting free speech. That's like
one of the backbones of this platform. Like he's very
serious about it. It's why he spent forty four billion
dollars to buy Twitter back in the day and exposed
you know, all the all the craft that was going
on there behind the scenes with people that work that Twitter.
(12:20):
And so now you've got some places in some other
countries that are like, no, we don't like that, and
so Brazil is one of them. And now if you're
a reporter and you go over there, it's not going
to affect the game broadcast. But yeah, you just if
you're going to report on that, you cannot go on
X and fire that off. Otherwise you're going to get popped.
Nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
So is it is that? Are we confirmed? And it's
it's nine thousand.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I saw that eighty nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
If you use American APM.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
What are you trying to say, goes a lot farther in.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Brazil, I'm possibly yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Well, I mean, plus, if you're over in Brazil, I'd
rather have that nine grand for other things to be
to be honest with you, so that could.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Be sure the people that live there would like your
nineersup as well.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm sure they would. I'm sure they would, and they
would probably take it for they'll get that in so
much more for sure. It is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. No LeVar Arrington,
no Brady Quinn, good riddance, to be honest with you,
Just Jonas Knox here from the ti Raq dot Com
studios coming up next here though, we are going to
have it. I don't even know if it's going to
(13:23):
be we maybe it's just me. We'll have a discussion
about some decisions that have been made in the NFL
that could turn out to be very, very awkward for
several players. Then that's yours right here on FSR.
Speaker 2 (13:36):

a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington and

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports. What
am I saying? It's the Jonas Knock Show here on
Fox Sports Radio from the tire Raq dot Com Studios.
This is my Nightmare coming up a little over twenty
minutes from now. I mean, I guess we'll, you know,
pay some respect to whatever that show is called. Was
(14:37):
a two pros and a cup of Joe whatever it is.
We'll have heard of the FSRI i R coming up
at about twenty minutes from now here on the Jonas
Knock Show. So now we are going to take some
calls here on the show because we want to hear
from you, the listener. So let's go out to uh LeVar,
who is in Los Angeles. LeVar, welcome into the Jonas
(14:57):
Knock Show. How are you welcome?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
Hey, Hey, thank you, hey, thanks thanks for welcoming into
your your your show here.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right, So for anybody anybody wondering what the hell
is going on? This is not a Disney channel on
Direct TV. Our internet completely crashed so here at the studio.
So it knocked LeVar off, it knocked Brady off, and
so we are we are patching this thing together here
on a Tuesday, here on two throws and a couple.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Together.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, we're trying.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
I'm enjoying just being a caller in.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
You know, let's let's do this interview.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
So, yeah, how does this sounded in let's let's go.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I'm Petro pop pop.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
But see the problem like Petros though, if this was
a Wednesday, even Petros wouldn't be able to come on
because unless he used the phone, he always patches in
through his his box and his setup that he's got
at home. So the internet is gone, so we know nothing.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
We're on the phone now, so so let's go conduct
the interview as it.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Show the whold on second. This isn't then Oxgon show.
This is not an interview, all right. I don't interview people.
I get interviewed, you know what I mean. Yeah, That's
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
All right.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So do you think uh, let me let me ask
you this, just to finish up on the Darius Slay
comments about not wanting to bring his family out to Brazil.
Do you think he doesn't want to bring his family
out to Brazil because you know there's not going to
be much for them to do, or because there's going
to be a lot for him to do and maybe uh,
you know he's using this is a little bit of
an out for him.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
What do you know.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
I've thought about it that way because clearly we have
an idea of what Brazil is like if you've never
been there, what do you mean of Brazil is very
very you know, it's intense. Maybe it's it's impressive that
(16:58):
wah so, But I do not I do not believe
that it's being used the information is being used in
that form in that fashion. I mean, maybe they're trying
to use scare tactics to keep the players in so
that if they they you know, so that they don't
venture out and never come back.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
But with that being.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Said, Jonas, I mean, I really think that there are
real concerns.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
And that's to me.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
I think that within all of the joking of it all,
is there should there be should there be cause for
pause in terms of how we're looking at you know,
them going abroad and playing abroad and playing in a
place where they're being made aware that you know, there
could be danger. That's that's like right around them. So
(17:48):
don't do anything. I mean, you know, I will say
this though, I heard these same things being said about Mexico.
Mexico City, and I went and I did camps there.
No like no no, no affiliation with the NFL or
sports or anything like that. Just my company. We went
(18:11):
over there and we did camps in Mexico, Mexico City,
and people were like, oh, you know, they're taking people hostage.
Don't do this, don't do that. We went over there,
we we had a hell of a time, man, hell
of the time.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yeah, a hell of the time.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
When we came back, it's like, uh, you know, there's
a difference between being a hostage and being a willing hostage,
and it just depends on which parts you venture in
do down there in Mexico.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
So I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure you you you know,
you got that. But I'm just saying we was there,
and we were with the people of Mexico City, like
it wasn't like we had any type of uh and
and I thought it was dope. I thought it was
super super awesome. I thought it was very productive. And
(19:00):
you know, there were if had I not gone, there
would have been a lot of things that I thought
that would air. It's really not It really wasn't like that.
So I don't know, you know, but I went to
be in a situation where I was proved.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Wrong, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I mean, well, if you want to find out how
danger it is, just hop on over to my house
anytime you want. We'll uh you get there. El Choppo's
the boogeyman in our house. So your son gets out
of line, we just throw they Listen, buddy, you know
El Choppo's in the closet. You gotta be careful. That's
how we operate there in Oxico. Now, LaVar, I do
want to listen. I never like I've never obviously played
(19:40):
in an NFL game. I'm just assuming this is the
first game of the season, the most sore you are
in an NFL season after Okay, but like, are you
are you banged up though, because you haven't gone that
hard for that long in a game in months and months, and.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
What you're talking about, well.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I'm just saying, like I've said, are are you banged
up after Week one of the NFL season?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
You're banged up going into week.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
One, okay, So you come out of that.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
It's just a matter of managing your bangs. Like sometimes
one can be worse than the other. It could depend
on the team you're playing against. More often than not,
you're playing against a physical team. Chances are you're going
to be more banged up than what you ever were,
you know, and in any of the you know of
the other games, and then that carries over because you
(20:35):
only get what six days really to kind of and
you really don't get six days because you got to practice.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So so here here's the here's why I asked that question.
The last thing I would want to do after an
NFL game is sit on a plane for eleven hours
to go back home. Like that's the last thing I'd
want to do. And it's the start of your season,
and that's what these teams are going to have to do.
And oh, by the way, you're playing again in less
(21:03):
than a week. Like it's just it's like just the
whole thing's kind of wild. And I know that we
talked about, you know, going to Brazil on the trip
and all that, but now that we've gotten closer, I
wonder if more of those players are like, well, this sucks,
like like that this is actually happening now it's here,
and I just I continue to go back to what
does this do for the rest of the season, and
(21:25):
maybe not you know, long term, but is this a
you know, week two, week three, Like how far after
this trip to Brazil these guys are going to be
feeling it? Because this does not seem like an ideal
kick after your season.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
Yeah, I mean I think the traveling part, I don't
really recall it all like that. I know, we did
play in Osaka and then we came back. I mean,
we had a hell of a time on the team playing,
So I don't really recall, like they're being too much
craziness of pain. But that's because it was a preseason game,
you know, so in terms of a regular season game,
(22:00):
like when these guys go over to Wimberley, you know
and play there and you're up. Yeah, all right, you know,
I don't know, man, I don't know what the I
just know there's a process to trying to be as
successful with your weekly recovery process as you possibly can,
(22:21):
and most of that is called prehab. If you're a prehaber,
you're positioning yourself for success. If you're if you're a rehaber,
then you know that's that's at your own risk. But
prehabing meaning that you go in, you get your stretches
with the trainers, you get treatment on trouble spots, trouble areas.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
You know, you you.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Do all of the necessary things that really really maintenance
what it is that you have going on with your body.
You know, and and making sure that you stay ahead
of it by doing that and creating that routine. It's
like when you get those bumps and bruises from game week,
it's just kind of like a part of the necessary routine,
(23:06):
like when you're grasping, you know, grasping, you know, like
all those different things that you get done, like the
pain of deep tissue massages and stuff like that. I mean,
there's a lot of maintenance that goes into really really
trying to keep your body top level for the amount
(23:27):
of the duration of an NFL season.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
There's a lot.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
I mean a lot of people may not realize how
much goes into it. There's a lot for it in
high school, there's a lot for it in college, but
there's a ton more in the pros, right because that's
your job, Like you should be professionally making sure you're
pre having yourself and taking care of yourself because you're
never one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio. So coming up here in about twelve minutes
from now, we are going to have an FSR I R.
We're going to report any issues, injuries, ailments from a
long weekend for the crew here and apparently I guess,
you know, the last half hour this show could be
an IR because internet is down. Cannot you know, we
(24:13):
have no idea what's really going on. This is like
a DirecTV's fight with Disney and we're just wearing it
here in the studio. But we're fine. Everything's good. We
got the NFL coming up this week. We got a
busy weekend to look back on of college football. And
we've also got some announcements that have been made in
the NFL. Those would be team captains, all right, Teams
are out there announcing their team captains. A lot of
(24:35):
that stuff came out yesterday, a lot of players being
announced as team captains. Daniel Jones is a team captain.
Here's my question, though, like, if you like, are there
players that just assume they were going to be a
team captain and when they're not voted a team captain?
(24:55):
How many people get their feelings hurt about it? Like
how many people get upset about that might.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Be a good question.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
That could be a good question. I wouldn't know how
many guys get their feelings hurt, but I definitely, I
definitely know that there are guys that expect and anticipate
that they're going to be the team captain. You know,
generally as quarterback, you know, they think they're going to
be the captains. And you know, and rightfully so if
(25:23):
they're leading, uh, you know, in any type of way,
any type of shape or form they're they're probably going
to be the captain. If you have a really really
good linebacker, he's probably going to be a captain. I mean,
whoever the vocal leaders are or who the popular guys are,
you know, within a locker room, they generally end up
(25:45):
being your your team captains and your your player reps.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
For you know, the team.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, it's I just because like DeVante Smith was not
voted a team captain, and I'm pretty sure he was
a team captain last year. And so if you were
a team captain last year, like like I don't I
don't think that he you know, that there was any
real like issue with him in the off season. In fact,
(26:11):
he was one of the guys last year when they
were winning games but it didn't look all that hot,
Like he was one of the only guys that was
like calling them out for like, yeah, we're winning games
that it doesn't look good. We're not playing well like
he seemed like he was, you know, like standing up
and you know, speaking out and taking ownership for the
fact that they need to play better football. I don't
think there was any issue this offseason. I mean everybody
(26:34):
got paid. He got paid.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
A J.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Brown got a contract, like it seemed like everything was good.
And then they roll out the team captains and Nick
Sirianni said something along the lines of, well, yeah, like
there was a lot of guys that were under consideration,
you know, and at some point like you know, how
many how many can you actually have? But like he
was one last year and now he's not. That one
feels like it's a little bit odd to me.
Speaker 8 (26:57):
I mean, who replaced them?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Do we know who? Do we know who the captains are? Hurts?
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Who else he hurts?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I believe A J. Brown was one of them, but
like it whoever it was not DeVante Smith, which kind
of seems a little bit a little bit odd.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
I don't know, it.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Just seems seems a little weird to me. But you know,
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, man, That's.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Like that's what I look at and I go, all right,
that that's that's a little that could be a little
bit uncomfortable, especially if I was one last year. Like
if you were a team captain and you didn't do
anything wrong in the off season, then he came back
the next year and you weren't a team captain, It's
like done.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Somebody may have done things that may be warranted them to.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Deserve it more.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
All right, all right, So so let me run down
the list of players who are team captains in Philly,
and you tell me which one of these DeVante Smith
should be a team captain for right. I've got the
list here.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
A J.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Brown understandable, correct, Brandon Graham yeah, Jalen Hurts yeah, Lane
Johnson yeah, Jordan my Alotta yeah, Darius Slay yeah. And
(28:30):
kicker Jake.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Elliott probably the kicker or just at one so that
he can still be a captain. I means, is that one?
I mean yeah, it's uh, not just once, but almost
like you're proving a point.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Nick Sirianni's full full quote was, there were a lot
of guys who got votes. I had to go with
the guys that got the most votes here, just because
Davante didn't have as many votes as some of the
other guys. Not mean he's still not a leader of
this football team. That goes for a lot of guys
that goes for Suon who's been a captain for many years,
Chauncey Gardner, Johnson, all these guys. So just because they're
(29:11):
the captain.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Hasn't been a captain for the Eagles. He hasn't been
there for the Eagles. DeVante Smith is a draft pick
and a guy for the Eagles. So, uh, you know,
if it was close and if it was even work
having the discussion that that Nick did, just added just
add a captainship spot. Now, I don't know what that
(29:34):
means in terms of, you know, if they're able to
wear you know, if there's a certain number because of
the sea on your jersey and all that stuff. I
really don't know all the rules and all the you know,
the kind of the politics that drave that. But if
it's if it's like within the rules, the parameters of
what you're doing as a team man make the d
(29:55):
the captain man, Like that's a simple figure.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So so we'll get to see whether or not that
causes any problems, you know, with with the Eagles, any
any drama, any sort of fun stuff like that Russell
Wilson's a captain for your Steelers. Uh, he's a captain
there in Pittsburgh even though he just got there. He's
the quarterback, so you know, all sorts of decisions.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
They did not get a captainship spot.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah, I don't believe so.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
No, I didn't see that he was announced as one
of the captains, So, which is very interesting because they've
shared pretty much everything else, but they're not sharing.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Being captains careful. Yeah, I mean that's pretty interesting.

Body cavity checked out. You know what I mean, damn
to make sure.
Speaker 8 (34:50):

am going to go get a colonoscopede today. I'm at

your your yearly regiment has to be. And yeah, man,
make sure you you go get yourself checked out, make
sure you're healthy. Make sure if you're not, you know,
(35:12):
you're doing what you need to do to get healthy.
So I will be on the IR later on today.
So yeah, there you go. I like sharing. I'm pretty transparent.
You know, my life has been an open book. I
don't I don't have problems with you know, feeling you
know down or you know, my lack of confidence about
what I'm going to do today, because you know what,
(35:33):
more of us need to make sure that we're doing.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
So I mean, there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, listen, you got to look after the back court
from time to time, move some stuff around, hose it
off of me.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Be more than just the back court.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
That's just a way to to you know, the research.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
You know, I had my fantasy draft over the weekend.
And it's the reason why this one's fun is because
it's basically all my buddies I've been friends with for
over twenty year and so we're all still, you know,
very very close. We text talk every day and we've
been doing this for since two thousand and six. I
(36:10):
wanted to I think we're on like year eighteen. And
so at first, like you get together and it's like, okay, well,
you know, we'll we'll go to a little pizza parlor
and we'll do like a fantasy draft. And now it's
completely jumped the shark, Like we are at my brother's
restaurant and I'm talking like I kept it together, but
two or three of those guys got absolutely disintegrated. I'm
(36:35):
just bombed to where like they're making picks that like
players that had already been taken. But it's like a
punishment for us to where you get like a spin
the wheel and next thing you know, people are having
to buy like a round of drinks or sitting under
a table for the next The entirety of the next round,
you had to walk around in like a clown wig
and costume, if you made a bat like it just
(36:56):
the whole thing was the whole thing was just chaotic
the least. So that was my and my fantasy team.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Well, let me listen. It's a ten person league, you know,
I mean, we have a long waiting list. I'll see
what I can do.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I just might want to hang out, you know.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
But like I can tell you this, Uh, you would
have enjoyed it, if you know what I mean. Oh wow,
yeah you you definitely would have enjoyed it. So yeah,
there definitely is the next time. So and my fantasy
team is so bad it like just tear. I will
be stunned if I don't finish in dead last. It's
(37:35):
just like the problem is when you're doing it a
two quarterback fantasy league and you've got the seventh pick,
there's a run on quarterbacks, and then like if somebody
takes like the best receiver you literally have, like you
don't get the best of anything. You're just kind of
left with. So I'm sitting there going, am I really
gonna have to take Kyler Murray and Bresee Hall with
(37:57):
my first two picks? And uh, and so there's that.
So I looks like I'm gonna be uh, I'm gonna
be losing, losing my ass when it comes to fantasy
football this year. So that's my Yeah, that's my my
ir league got anything pre solid number seven. That's really good.
I'm proud of you. No, it wasn't. They trust me.
It's not good.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
I'll show you.
Speaker 11 (38:14):
I had the same thing seventeen seventh and a two
quarterback league.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I hated it. No, I was car shopping awful weekend.
But it was a long weekend. Do you find anything? Nope, No,
it's an awful, awful time to buy a car. Now,
that's what it is.
Speaker 8 (38:28):

I don't know if you guys were aware of this,
but the NFL season kicks off this week coming up
in a couple of days. When are we doing our
season picks? You want to do it tomorrow, You want
(01:23):
a Thursday, because to you you can get this smoke.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm ready to go Thursday. I'd like every moment I
can get injury information, the rosters.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
All set, all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
As I said to you before, Jonas, everyone thinks that
final cutdown is the final cutdown.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
There's still some moving and shaking and stuff going on
right now. Think about San Francisco, for example, Trent Williams,
who may very well be missing games this season. As
Jonas is prayed for someone to actually hold out, there's
such a clown.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I know, I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But the truth of the matter is that a player
that currently you got to keep on the roster, but
you've got to have some offensive line depth in the
event that he does hold out and he does miss games,
because if he does, he's even me out there, right,
you gotta have someone you have a backup for that
person too. So because of that, rosters are set like
(02:17):
ninety eight percent ninety nine percent, there's still that one
or two percent that that that could change, and that
still happens up to week one literally day of the
game for each team.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
So I'd like all that all the time. I can
get it.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Do you want to know why I'm hoping one of
these holdouts bleeds into the season. Why let me tell
you why. Why I'm doing it for us? Okay, that
hope is for us, and it's hoped for everybody else
in our industry who had to discuss these stories during
the offseason, and if they all just get resolved at
the end, what was the point? So I want to
(02:53):
look back and realize. Also, we didn't waste a bunch
of time talking about Trent Williams. He actually stuck to
his guns and he actually hold out into the season. Also,
we didn't waste all that time talking about Jamar Chase.
He actually told Gold Coast or gold Star whatever it is,
the chili company there, keep your tip, jar, I don't
need these discount TVs being sold to try and pay
(03:14):
my checks. I'm out until you guys offer up the
kind of money I'm looking for and we can look
back and go it wasn't a waste of time, Like
I'm doing this for us, all right, So I think
a little bit more respect and credit should be throwing
my way for standing, standing up for the industry and
letting everybody know that we're doing God's work here trying
to discuss topics that actually mean something with these guys
(03:35):
hold out in.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
The season.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
On the telepropo, on the teleprompter, man, come on, okay, Witlock,
look at that. Just called me Whitlock. Who damn that's
your guy. Now that being said, uh, we do have
a couple of games coming up here in the NFL,
one being the Thursday night game Ravens Chiefs, which we
(04:03):
can get into. The other one being the Friday game
Eagles Packers. I mean, look, it's a great game, could
be potentially an NFC championship preview. The best part is
it's going to be all the way over in Brazil.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Is that the best part?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, and it don't sound like it. It seemed like
it was until you heard some Eagles players be very
vocal about the fact that they're not happy about having
to go there, one of those being Darius Slay, who
was on the Big Play Shaye podcast, which, by the way,
at some point somebody's gonna run out of names for podcasts,
like we got to figure this thing out. But he
(04:39):
was on the Big play Shay podcast and he discussed
his concerns with going to Brazil week.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
More and I am looking forward to it. I can't wait.
But man, I do not want to go to Brazil.
And you want to know why, I'm here to tell
you why. They already told us not to lead a hotel.
They told us we can't do too much going on
because it's the crowd rate.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
It is crazy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I'm like NFL, you know, I want to send us
somewhere with the crimewaight this high and like we got
the country, so you know, the first thing people think
is like something terbor can possibly happen. I told my family,
do not come down there because I'm not gonna be
no where to be found. That would be in the hotel,
chilling mount of my business, playing my game after loan
nine and a half hour flight, so I don't have
(05:19):
no intentions on doing thathing. I'm gonna eat hotel food,
I'm doing everything. But they said, yeah, man, it's gonna
be pretty crazy down there.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
You know.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
The police said they gonna be, you know, try to
be the best they could possibly be, the top flight
security of the world, create you know, what I'm saying.
So we hope for that man, but I do go
down there to come down there with a win.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
It does feel like, you know, we were discussing this
a little bit yesterday, but it does feel like, you know,
maybe this would have been a better idea for a
preseason game.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
I think that makes a ton of sense. Preseason makes sense,
regular season. I'm just not sure why they would do that,
you know, And if you're going to take them down
there to be a show spectacle for the National Football League,
the least you could do is make sure that they're
able to experience the place that they're going. And if
(06:12):
that place isn't safe enough for them to go do
those things, then I don't understand why you take your
employees and send them there for the show. It just
it seems counterproductive. You're gonna fly there, You're going to
keep them in the hotels, Like, what is this? Is
(06:33):
this like a regular game? Is this like a regular
game schedule? So are they going down on Saturday? Because
if they're going down on Saturday, if they leave to
go there for Saturday and they played the game on
Sunday and they come back, then I guess it's not
that big of a deal. But if it's one of
those more extended stays, like they're there for for more
(06:55):
than three or four days, then that doesn't make sense
to me that you would take them to a place
where they can only be in the hotel at the
safest place.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
They're leaving tomorrow, So the Eagles are leaving Wednesday.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Wednesday, so Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah, so three three days,
three days in your hotel in a different place. I mean,
I just you know, I don't know. But but security
with football is different than other sports. They monitor you
differently than other sports. From what I can gather, basketball
(07:31):
players they get a ton of free time. They're they're
not very you know, they're not on you know, curfew
or anything like that. It's like we're here, show up
to shoot around and then be there for the game
type stuff. It's not like that in football. It's just superstructured.
They have you structured out from breakfast, through walkthroughs, through meetings,
(07:56):
through a lunch, through more walkthroughs, through more meetings. Maybe
it's a practice, I don't know, but it's it's much
more regimented. It's much more structured than what you would
probably assume. So I don't know, maybe it's not that
big of a deal, but I just don't know why
you would take them to a place where if they're
(08:17):
saying that the safety of it and and the crime
rate of it, we're going to do our best to
keep you guys safe, I don't know why you take
them there.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I mean, it's a little late in the game, but
you know, Ricky Piersall just got shot.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
Like maybe this is and that wasn't in Brazil, but yeah,
that was in San.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Francisco, which you know that that's the whole story is wild.
I mean, obviously thoughts and prayers are with him, but
it sounded like it all came via a a card signing,
remember Bill you signing, and then some guys saw his
watch and then followed him back to his place to
try to get it.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
He went to his car through card in the afternoon.
I guess he was going shot after the signing, and
then some guy rolled up seventeen year old with a
gun and wrestled. He got shot. I think the seventeen
year old got shot.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
As well too.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
But I mean, hey, you know what, at least you
know San Francisco's in the rotation for the Super Bowl,
you know. So that's good. Yeah, that'll be fun, fun
for everybody. But yeah, I just I look at the
Brazil stuff and I go, I know, like the growing
of the game, but I feel like you could have
done a preseason game that would have not had as
much of an impact maybe on the regular season. Traveling back,
(09:33):
like I was saying, I wonder what Week two is
going to look like for these teams, because Philly's got
a Monday night game but green Bay doesn't. And yeah
they're both at home, but I wont if there's going
to be any dragging ass in week two. You know,
who the hell knows whether or not those guys are
going to have any sort of fun when they go
out to Brazil, you know, if they are, they just
getting on the flight right at the season with a
(09:54):
little bit more time with guys going to training camp,
you know, maybe needing a little bit of a break
like a right you did the trip to Japan, wasn't
that like a welcomed break from training camp when you
were like, oh damn, we're going to get to go
overseas and it's kind of like almost like a field
trip in the middle of training camp in the preseason
(10:15):
and may be a little bit more excited about it
than having to interrupt your season in your year by
throwing a bunch of guys on a plane, sending them
over ten hours and trying to figure out a regular
season game in another country. It feels problematic, and we've
got to all right, so we are. We've got technical
difficulties here. So if you were wondering whether or not
(10:35):
that was a poor question to ask LeVar, probably, But
the better story is the fact that they both dropped.
We just Jonas Knox and let me be honest with you,
probably the bestest show's ever sounded, if we're going to
be really upfront about the whole thing. All right, So
riverside to those guys and we were off and running
here on a Tuesday morning. How about that, Eddie. They
(11:00):
ain't here to fight back this time. That's how it works,
That's the way this goes.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Technology is usually a wonderful thing.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I mean, it's fun, you know that stuff it happens.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Now, the good thing about going over to Brazil, though,
if you want to cover the game, if you're an
NFL reporter for the Packers or for the Eagles. You, yeah,
you're not allow. Yeah, that's been banned. So and it's
like a nine thousand dollars fine if you use like
a different VPN to try and access X to go
on there.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So if you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Really like tweeting, if you're a big fan of it,
I hope it's worth the nine g's that's going to
cost you if you decide to go down that road.
When it comes to the NFL going to Brazil.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Yeah, I just I just found out about this that
it's not it's nothing you know, specific to the NFL.
It's the country country of Brazil is at war with
Elon mus Yes.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, as a whole because because they don't like the
fact that Elon Musk is promoting free speech. That's like
one of the backbones of this platform. Like he's very
serious about it. It's why he spent forty four billion
dollars to buy Twitter back in the day and exposed
you know, all the all the craft that was going
on there behind the scenes with people that work that Twitter.
(12:20):
And so now you've got some places in some other
countries that are like, no, we don't like that, and
so Brazil is one of them. And now if you're
a reporter and you go over there, it's not going
to affect the game broadcast. But yeah, you just if
you're going to report on that, you cannot go on
X and fire that off. Otherwise you're going to get popped.
Nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
So is it is that? Are we confirmed? And it's
it's nine thousand.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I saw that eighty nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
If you use American APM.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
What are you trying to say, goes a lot farther in.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Brazil, I'm possibly yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Well, I mean, plus, if you're over in Brazil, I'd
rather have that nine grand for other things to be
to be honest with you, so that could.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Be sure the people that live there would like your
nineersup as well.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm sure they would. I'm sure they would, and they
would probably take it for they'll get that in so
much more for sure. It is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. No LeVar Arrington,
no Brady Quinn, good riddance, to be honest with you,
Just Jonas Knox here from the ti Raq dot Com
studios coming up next here though, we are going to
have it. I don't even know if it's going to
(13:23):
be we maybe it's just me. We'll have a discussion
about some decisions that have been made in the NFL
that could turn out to be very, very awkward for
several players. Then that's yours right here on FSR.

Fox Sports Radio from the tire Raq dot Com Studios.
This is my Nightmare coming up a little over twenty
minutes from now. I mean, I guess we'll, you know,
pay some respect to whatever that show is called. Was
(14:37):
a two pros and a cup of Joe whatever it is.
We'll have heard of the FSRI i R coming up
at about twenty minutes from now here on the Jonas
Knock Show. So now we are going to take some
calls here on the show because we want to hear
from you, the listener. So let's go out to uh LeVar,
who is in Los Angeles. LeVar, welcome into the Jonas
(14:57):
Knock Show. How are you welcome?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
Hey, Hey, thank you, hey, thanks thanks for welcoming into
your your your show here.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right, So for anybody anybody wondering what the hell
is going on? This is not a Disney channel on
Direct TV. Our internet completely crashed so here at the studio.
So it knocked LeVar off, it knocked Brady off, and
so we are we are patching this thing together here
on a Tuesday, here on two throws and a couple.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Together.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, we're trying.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
I'm enjoying just being a caller in.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
You know, let's let's do this interview.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
So, yeah, how does this sounded in let's let's go.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I'm Petro pop pop.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
But see the problem like Petros though, if this was
a Wednesday, even Petros wouldn't be able to come on
because unless he used the phone, he always patches in
through his his box and his setup that he's got
at home. So the internet is gone, so we know nothing.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
We're on the phone now, so so let's go conduct
the interview as it.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Show the whold on second. This isn't then Oxgon show.
This is not an interview, all right. I don't interview people.
I get interviewed, you know what I mean. Yeah, That's
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
All right.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So do you think uh, let me let me ask
you this, just to finish up on the Darius Slay
comments about not wanting to bring his family out to Brazil.
Do you think he doesn't want to bring his family
out to Brazil because you know there's not going to
be much for them to do, or because there's going
to be a lot for him to do and maybe uh,
you know he's using this is a little bit of
an out for him.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
What do you know.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
I've thought about it that way because clearly we have
an idea of what Brazil is like if you've never
been there, what do you mean of Brazil is very
very you know, it's intense. Maybe it's it's impressive that
(16:58):
wah so, But I do not I do not believe
that it's being used the information is being used in
that form in that fashion. I mean, maybe they're trying
to use scare tactics to keep the players in so
that if they they you know, so that they don't
venture out and never come back.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
But with that being.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Said, Jonas, I mean, I really think that there are
real concerns.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
And that's to me.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
I think that within all of the joking of it all,
is there should there be should there be cause for
pause in terms of how we're looking at you know,
them going abroad and playing abroad and playing in a
place where they're being made aware that you know, there
could be danger. That's that's like right around them. So
(17:48):
don't do anything. I mean, you know, I will say
this though, I heard these same things being said about Mexico.
Mexico City, and I went and I did camps there.
No like no no, no affiliation with the NFL or
sports or anything like that. Just my company. We went
(18:11):
over there and we did camps in Mexico, Mexico City,
and people were like, oh, you know, they're taking people hostage.
Don't do this, don't do that. We went over there,
we we had a hell of a time, man, hell
of the time.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yeah, a hell of the time.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
When we came back, it's like, uh, you know, there's
a difference between being a hostage and being a willing hostage,
and it just depends on which parts you venture in
do down there in Mexico.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
So I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure you you you know,
you got that. But I'm just saying we was there,
and we were with the people of Mexico City, like
it wasn't like we had any type of uh and
and I thought it was dope. I thought it was
super super awesome. I thought it was very productive. And
(19:00):
you know, there were if had I not gone, there
would have been a lot of things that I thought
that would air. It's really not It really wasn't like that.
So I don't know, you know, but I went to
be in a situation where I was proved.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Wrong, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I mean, well, if you want to find out how
danger it is, just hop on over to my house
anytime you want. We'll uh you get there. El Choppo's
the boogeyman in our house. So your son gets out
of line, we just throw they Listen, buddy, you know
El Choppo's in the closet. You gotta be careful. That's
how we operate there in Oxico. Now, LaVar, I do
want to listen. I never like I've never obviously played
(19:40):
in an NFL game. I'm just assuming this is the
first game of the season, the most sore you are
in an NFL season after Okay, but like, are you
are you banged up though, because you haven't gone that
hard for that long in a game in months and months, and.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
What you're talking about, well.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I'm just saying, like I've said, are are you banged
up after Week one of the NFL season?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
You're banged up going into week.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
One, okay, So you come out of that.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
It's just a matter of managing your bangs. Like sometimes
one can be worse than the other. It could depend
on the team you're playing against. More often than not,
you're playing against a physical team. Chances are you're going
to be more banged up than what you ever were,
you know, and in any of the you know of
the other games, and then that carries over because you
(20:35):
only get what six days really to kind of and
you really don't get six days because you got to practice.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So so here here's the here's why I asked that question.
The last thing I would want to do after an
NFL game is sit on a plane for eleven hours
to go back home. Like that's the last thing I'd
want to do. And it's the start of your season,
and that's what these teams are going to have to do.
And oh, by the way, you're playing again in less
(21:03):
than a week. Like it's just it's like just the
whole thing's kind of wild. And I know that we
talked about, you know, going to Brazil on the trip
and all that, but now that we've gotten closer, I
wonder if more of those players are like, well, this sucks,
like like that this is actually happening now it's here,
and I just I continue to go back to what
does this do for the rest of the season, and
(21:25):
maybe not you know, long term, but is this a
you know, week two, week three, Like how far after
this trip to Brazil these guys are going to be
feeling it? Because this does not seem like an ideal
kick after your season.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
Yeah, I mean I think the traveling part, I don't
really recall it all like that. I know, we did
play in Osaka and then we came back. I mean,
we had a hell of a time on the team playing,
So I don't really recall, like they're being too much
craziness of pain. But that's because it was a preseason game,
you know, so in terms of a regular season game,
(22:00):
like when these guys go over to Wimberley, you know
and play there and you're up. Yeah, all right, you know,
I don't know, man, I don't know what the I
just know there's a process to trying to be as
successful with your weekly recovery process as you possibly can,
(22:21):
and most of that is called prehab. If you're a prehaber,
you're positioning yourself for success. If you're if you're a rehaber,
then you know that's that's at your own risk. But
prehabing meaning that you go in, you get your stretches
with the trainers, you get treatment on trouble spots, trouble areas.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
You know, you you.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Do all of the necessary things that really really maintenance
what it is that you have going on with your body.
You know, and and making sure that you stay ahead
of it by doing that and creating that routine. It's
like when you get those bumps and bruises from game week,
it's just kind of like a part of the necessary routine,
(23:06):
like when you're grasping, you know, grasping, you know, like
all those different things that you get done, like the
pain of deep tissue massages and stuff like that. I mean,
there's a lot of maintenance that goes into really really
trying to keep your body top level for the amount
(23:27):
of the duration of an NFL season.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
There's a lot.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
I mean a lot of people may not realize how
much goes into it. There's a lot for it in
high school, there's a lot for it in college, but
there's a ton more in the pros, right because that's
your job, Like you should be professionally making sure you're
pre having yourself and taking care of yourself because you're
never one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio. So coming up here in about twelve minutes
from now, we are going to have an FSR I R.
We're going to report any issues, injuries, ailments from a
long weekend for the crew here and apparently I guess,
you know, the last half hour this show could be
an IR because internet is down. Cannot you know, we
(24:13):
have no idea what's really going on. This is like
a DirecTV's fight with Disney and we're just wearing it
here in the studio. But we're fine. Everything's good. We
got the NFL coming up this week. We got a
busy weekend to look back on of college football. And
we've also got some announcements that have been made in
the NFL. Those would be team captains, all right, Teams
are out there announcing their team captains. A lot of
(24:35):
that stuff came out yesterday, a lot of players being
announced as team captains. Daniel Jones is a team captain.
Here's my question, though, like, if you like, are there
players that just assume they were going to be a
team captain and when they're not voted a team captain?
(24:55):
How many people get their feelings hurt about it? Like
how many people get upset about that might.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Be a good question.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
That could be a good question. I wouldn't know how
many guys get their feelings hurt, but I definitely, I
definitely know that there are guys that expect and anticipate
that they're going to be the team captain. You know,
generally as quarterback, you know, they think they're going to
be the captains. And you know, and rightfully so if
(25:23):
they're leading, uh, you know, in any type of way,
any type of shape or form they're they're probably going
to be the captain. If you have a really really
good linebacker, he's probably going to be a captain. I mean,
whoever the vocal leaders are or who the popular guys are,
you know, within a locker room, they generally end up
(25:45):
being your your team captains and your your player reps.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
For you know, the team.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, it's I just because like DeVante Smith was not
voted a team captain, and I'm pretty sure he was
a team captain last year. And so if you were
a team captain last year, like like I don't I
don't think that he you know, that there was any
real like issue with him in the off season. In fact,
(26:11):
he was one of the guys last year when they
were winning games but it didn't look all that hot,
Like he was one of the only guys that was
like calling them out for like, yeah, we're winning games
that it doesn't look good. We're not playing well like
he seemed like he was, you know, like standing up
and you know, speaking out and taking ownership for the
fact that they need to play better football. I don't
think there was any issue this offseason. I mean everybody
(26:34):
got paid. He got paid.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
A J.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Brown got a contract, like it seemed like everything was good.
And then they roll out the team captains and Nick
Sirianni said something along the lines of, well, yeah, like
there was a lot of guys that were under consideration,
you know, and at some point like you know, how
many how many can you actually have? But like he
was one last year and now he's not. That one
feels like it's a little bit odd to me.
Speaker 8 (26:57):
I mean, who replaced them?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Do we know who? Do we know who the captains are? Hurts?
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Who else he hurts?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I believe A J. Brown was one of them, but
like it whoever it was not DeVante Smith, which kind
of seems a little bit a little bit odd.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
I don't know, it.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Just seems seems a little weird to me. But you know,
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, man, That's.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Like that's what I look at and I go, all right,
that that's that's a little that could be a little
bit uncomfortable, especially if I was one last year. Like
if you were a team captain and you didn't do
anything wrong in the off season, then he came back
the next year and you weren't a team captain, It's
like done.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Somebody may have done things that may be warranted them to.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Deserve it more.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
All right, all right, So so let me run down
the list of players who are team captains in Philly,
and you tell me which one of these DeVante Smith
should be a team captain for right. I've got the
list here.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
A J.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Brown understandable, correct, Brandon Graham yeah, Jalen Hurts yeah, Lane
Johnson yeah, Jordan my Alotta yeah, Darius Slay yeah. And
(28:30):
kicker Jake.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Elliott probably the kicker or just at one so that
he can still be a captain. I means, is that one?
I mean yeah, it's uh, not just once, but almost
like you're proving a point.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Nick Sirianni's full full quote was, there were a lot
of guys who got votes. I had to go with
the guys that got the most votes here, just because
Davante didn't have as many votes as some of the
other guys. Not mean he's still not a leader of
this football team. That goes for a lot of guys
that goes for Suon who's been a captain for many years,
Chauncey Gardner, Johnson, all these guys. So just because they're
(29:11):
the captain.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Hasn't been a captain for the Eagles. He hasn't been
there for the Eagles. DeVante Smith is a draft pick
and a guy for the Eagles. So, uh, you know,
if it was close and if it was even work
having the discussion that that Nick did, just added just
add a captainship spot. Now, I don't know what that
(29:34):
means in terms of, you know, if they're able to
wear you know, if there's a certain number because of
the sea on your jersey and all that stuff. I
really don't know all the rules and all the you know,
the kind of the politics that drave that. But if
it's if it's like within the rules, the parameters of
what you're doing as a team man make the d
(29:55):
the captain man, Like that's a simple figure.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So so we'll get to see whether or not that
causes any problems, you know, with with the Eagles, any
any drama, any sort of fun stuff like that Russell
Wilson's a captain for your Steelers. Uh, he's a captain
there in Pittsburgh even though he just got there. He's
the quarterback, so you know, all sorts of decisions.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
They did not get a captainship spot.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah, I don't believe so.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
No, I didn't see that he was announced as one
of the captains, So, which is very interesting because they've
shared pretty much everything else, but they're not sharing.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Being captains careful. Yeah, I mean that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It is a two pros and a cup of Joe

what I'm going to do today, because you know what,
(35:33):
more of us need to make sure that we're doing.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
So I mean, there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, listen, you got to look after the back court
from time to time, move some stuff around, hose it
off of me.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Be more than just the back court.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
That's just a way to to you know, the research.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
You know, I had my fantasy draft over the weekend.
And it's the reason why this one's fun is because
it's basically all my buddies I've been friends with for
over twenty year and so we're all still, you know,
very very close. We text talk every day and we've
been doing this for since two thousand and six. I
(36:10):
wanted to I think we're on like year eighteen. And
so at first, like you get together and it's like, okay, well,
you know, we'll we'll go to a little pizza parlor
and we'll do like a fantasy draft. And now it's
completely jumped the shark, Like we are at my brother's
restaurant and I'm talking like I kept it together, but
two or three of those guys got absolutely disintegrated. I'm
(36:35):
just bombed to where like they're making picks that like
players that had already been taken. But it's like a
punishment for us to where you get like a spin
the wheel and next thing you know, people are having
to buy like a round of drinks or sitting under
a table for the next The entirety of the next round,
you had to walk around in like a clown wig
and costume, if you made a bat like it just
(36:56):
the whole thing was the whole thing was just chaotic
the least. So that was my and my fantasy team.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Well, let me listen. It's a ten person league, you know,
I mean, we have a long waiting list. I'll see
what I can do.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I just might want to hang out, you know.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
But like I can tell you this, Uh, you would
have enjoyed it, if you know what I mean. Oh wow,
yeah you you definitely would have enjoyed it. So yeah,
there definitely is the next time. So and my fantasy
team is so bad it like just tear. I will
be stunned if I don't finish in dead last. It's
(37:35):
just like the problem is when you're doing it a
two quarterback fantasy league and you've got the seventh pick,
there's a run on quarterbacks, and then like if somebody
takes like the best receiver you literally have, like you
don't get the best of anything. You're just kind of
left with. So I'm sitting there going, am I really
gonna have to take Kyler Murray and Bresee Hall with
(37:57):
my first two picks? And uh, and so there's that.
So I looks like I'm gonna be uh, I'm gonna
be losing, losing my ass when it comes to fantasy
football this year. So that's my Yeah, that's my my
ir league got anything pre solid number seven. That's really good.
I'm proud of you. No, it wasn't. They trust me.
It's not good.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
I'll show you.
Speaker 11 (38:14):
I had the same thing seventeen seventh and a two
quarterback league.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I hated it. No, I was car shopping awful weekend.
But it was a long weekend. Do you find anything? Nope, No,
it's an awful, awful time to buy a car. Now,
that's what it is.
Speaker 8 (38:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Welcome to the club. How welcome to the club.
