Happy Holidays, all right, 58 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: Now we move on. The Pittsburgh Steelers could be on 59 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the verge of getting exposed. Right, so as we transition 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: from a positive thought to what may not be a 61 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: very positive thought, at least on the Pittsburgh side of things, 62 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: they could be on the verge of getting exposed. Now, 63 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: if you have followed the Pittsburgh Steelers season, been kind 64 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: of a rocky road. You know, a lot of pitfalls, 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things that have gotten in the way, 66 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: the whole Matt Canada stuff, Kenny Pickett's injury, Mitch Trubisky, 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: then Mason Rudolph, George Pickens doesn't want to be there, 68 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: and then he does want to be there, and then 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: you doesn't want to block for anybody. Like there's a 70 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: lot going on and Mike Tomlin is juggling all of it. Now. 71 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: The good thing for Mike Tomlin he does have he 72 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: is conditioned to do so. You like they tell you 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: when you're training for a fight. You know, if you've 74 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: got a five round UFC fight train ten rounds, you 75 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: got a three round UFC fight train six, you know, 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: double up. If you're a boxer, like you got to 77 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: make sure that you are trained for well, well above 78 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: and beyond the twelve rounds, like you got to make 79 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: sure that you are conditioned to do so so that 80 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: way when the fight comes it's not as difficult. Well, 81 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has been training for stuff like this for years. 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: It was called Antonio Brown. So like, whatever George Pickens 83 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: wants to throw at him, whatever offensive coordinator issues you 84 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: want to throw at him. Whatever quarterback injuries or problems, 85 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: you want to throw at him. Whatever, Ben Roethlisberger hot 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: taker criticism on his podcast, you want to throw at him. 87 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin is conditioned to deal with all this stuff 88 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: because he dealt with Antonio Brown, which, as we've seen, 89 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: kind of a nightmare. I mean, for God's sakes, the 90 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: guy hit in his house for a month and a 91 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: half and outweighted cops that were out parked outside his place. 92 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: And finally they I just said, all right, what we 93 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: got stuff to do. I like, we can't do this forever. 94 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown can, but we can't do it forever. But 95 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: it does feel like this game later on today between 96 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Bengals is going to pretty much 97 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: be an indication as to what this season really was. 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: I've never bought into the Steelers this year, to me, 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: and it's not a fault of Mike Tomlin or a 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: fault of Kenny Pickett as much as it is. I 101 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: looked at the division and I'm like, man, the Browns 102 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: have a better roster. The Bengals have a better roster. 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: The Ravens for sure have a better roster. I just 104 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: looked at it and said, Pittsburgh feels like as much 105 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: as maybe they're not used to it, there's a transitional 106 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: phase here. And of all the teams in that division, 107 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: I was least confident in the Steelers all And doesn't 108 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: mean TJ. Watt's fantastic and there are studs on that team. 109 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: It's the best division in football any other division. Pittsburgh's 110 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: a legit contender to win that division. You throw Pittsburgh 111 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: in the NFC South, We're not even having a conversation. 112 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: But like, I looked at the Steelers, and I looked 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: at some of their early results, and I go, it 114 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: feels kind of like a tease, Like they're winning games 115 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: and I don't know how they're winning games. They beat 116 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: Baltimore early in the season, and the Ravens were looking 117 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: around at the end of the game, going, wait, what 118 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: how do we lose that game? When Pittsburgh was in 119 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: first place in their division and they were struggling mightily 120 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: on offense. I couldn't figure it out. It was a 121 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: special teams play here, it was a defensive play here. 122 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Like TJ. Wat's gonna be a Hall of Famer, he's 123 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: that good. But I'm watching Pittsburgh all year going how 124 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: are they even here? And as you've seen over the 125 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, and look, can you pick an 126 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 1: injury or not. As you've seen over the last couple 127 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: of weeks, you're starting to see the reality set in 128 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: that this is always who they were. And I feel 129 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: like with this game coming up later on with Cincinnati, 130 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: this could go by way of yeah, this is kind 131 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: of what we've allt like. It feels like last ditch 132 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: effort for the Pittsburgh Steelers. If they don't win this one, 133 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: it's over. That's what it feels like. And the proving 134 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: point is, look, not only is it over, but this 135 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: is what they always were to start the season. On 136 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: the flip side of that, the Bengals are on the 137 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: verge of pulling off what maybe not a lot of 138 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: people have thought about, is one of the great turnarounds 139 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: that we've ever seen in an NFL season. So just 140 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: think about this. Cincinnati starts off the year zero to 141 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: two and one in three. That's their first four games 142 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: of the season. Joe Burrow's telling everybody, calm down, We're 143 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: going to be fine. Don't sweat it, don't worry about it. 144 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: Everything's going to be okay here, and then they start 145 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: to go on a roll and you're like, man, Joe 146 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: Burrow knows what he's talking about. Then he gets hurt. 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: Now he's out for the year. So the Bengals could 148 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: be on the verge of getting to the postseason after 149 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: starting off zero to two, one in three, losing their 150 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and by the way, no Jamar Chase coming 151 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: up later on today, So you're losing one of the 152 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: best wide receivers in football down the stretch in key 153 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: pivotal games to try and get into the postseason. I 154 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: don't want to have the discussion about who should be 155 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year anymore because, listen, there's a lot 156 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: of contenders out there. When you have this many injuries 157 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: and this many backup quarterbacks, there's going to be a 158 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: lot of people that are in the conversation for coach 159 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: of the year. But it seems like a far cry 160 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: when people were talking about Zach Taylor won in six 161 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: games his first two seasons and he's got to go 162 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: and he's on the hot seat. The fact that they're 163 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: even at this point after starting the they started, which yes, 164 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: their fault one in three, Yes, their fault, But losing 165 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow wasn't their fault. Losing Jamar Chase in key 166 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: moments down the stretch wasn't their fault. And yet here 167 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: are the Cincinnati Bengals favorites on the road in Pittsburgh 168 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback, injuries galore, and could potentially still 169 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: be a playoff team. Like, there's all these numbers and 170 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: percentages out there of well, when a team starts oh 171 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: and two, what is their chances to make the playoffs? Well, 172 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: when a team starts oh, what about when a team 173 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: starts oh and two one in three loses their starting 174 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: quarterback and loses their best wide receiver, one of the 175 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: best wide receivers in football at key moments down the stretch. 176 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: What about that? What are the odds on that? Which 177 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: is why last week's win, which went final after we 178 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: went off the air against the Minnesota Vikings, was so 179 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: massive because it kept him in the hunt, It kept 180 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: him in the fight, and we could be witnessing one 181 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: of the great in season turnarounds that we've ever seen 182 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: in the NFL.

I'll say this, Chris Prefet, 223 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: what's up when you play this Italian little ditty for 224 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: the people listening on the podcast? What is it called 225 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: Dominic the Donkey? Yeah? Whatever? I was gonna call him Donovan, 226 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: but but when you play this, it does make me 227 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: yearn for some Italian food in front of a Christmas tree. 228 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: Like there's something about and I don't know if it's 229 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: because of the Marinara sauce. I have no idea what 230 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: it is, but there's something about Italian food and Christmas. 231 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: It just goes together. 232 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 5: It's funny you should mention that because I did not 233 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 5: tell you this, and maybe if I did, I could 234 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 5: probably entice you with some of this. But I did 235 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 5: make vodka sauce for the entire crew in the back 236 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 5: here for this PRIs. 237 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, mean what I mean, what do 238 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: I gotta do? At what point? Like what when do 239 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: I get to be on that list? You know, Like 240 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: there's certain decisions that are made. Like Mike Carmen used 241 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: to have a glug list. He would make his own glug. 242 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: I got a oh yeah, I think I still have 243 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: one of those jars at home. Yeah, Like, but I 244 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: don't know what I got to do to get on. Well, 245 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. That is going to be 246 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: my goal for twenty twenty four. I got to get 247 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: on the Perfet Vodka sauce list. If I can get 248 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: on that list, that would be appreciated, because I'm telling you, man, 249 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: Italian food. And look, the reason why I say this 250 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: is because none of the in laws are listening. Otherwise 251 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: I would sit here and say the complete opposite and say, no, 252 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: it's all about Tamali's come on, come on, Mexican food, 253 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: Tamali's pisole. But there is something about Italian food in 254 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: front of a Christmas tree that just lands well. I 255 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but when I hear Divicenzo 256 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: the Donkey or whatever the song's called, when Chris plays 257 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: it during the holidays, it just does make me think 258 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: about that. So for those of you out there are 259 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: going to be indulging in some Italian food, do what 260 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: you got to do. Enjoy it, stuff yourselves. You've earned it, 261 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: and hopefully it's more affordable than what a Tommy DeVito appearance. 262 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: Few will be, so hopefully that's the case. But nonetheless, 263 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: it is a good time here. And for those of 264 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: you again out there disrespecting employees at grocery stores or malls, 265 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: stop doing that. You took too long to get your 266 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: shopping done. But we talked about that early. All right, 267 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: it's coming up next here. Jonas Knox on Fox Sports Radio. 268 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: We'll call it in about a little over ten minutes 269 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: from now, we are going to hand out an award. 270 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: It is our TGFG Game of the Week in the NFL. 271 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: We're going to hand out that award coming up in 272 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: about ten minutes from now. Speaking of awards and speaking 273 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: of people that have won an award, there are some 274 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: people that I don't want to say they've taken issue 275 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: with it, because there's an argument to be made for both. 276 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: But I mentioned this earlier that the Cincinnati Bengals are 277 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: having one of the more impressive in season turnarounds that 278 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: we've seen in recent NFL history. If you consider not 279 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: only did they start zero and two, but they were 280 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: one to three, they lost their starting quarterback, they're losing 281 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase down the stretch in key games, and yet 282 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: here they are in a really difficult division with an 283 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to go to the playoffs. And some people who 284 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: have taken the Minnesota Vikings and said, well, what about 285 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: the Vikings? They deserve some love as well too, totally agree. 286 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: And we've talked about it on the morning show Two 287 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: Pros and a Cup of Joe. We've talked about that 288 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: all year. Kevin O'Connell in the job. He's done with 289 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: their start and losing Kirk Cousins and losing Justin Jefferson. 290 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: Totally agree. That's why he's in the discussion for Coach 291 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: of the Year, what they've done if they can get 292 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: to the postseason. I absolutely agree. The problem is that 293 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: they Minnesota Vikings lost a really crucial game because there's 294 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people discussing that the MVP could be 295 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: decided on Christmas Night between the Ravens and the forty 296 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: nine ers because you got Brock Perdy and McCaffrey and 297 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and all that. Well, the most impressive in 298 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: season turnaround of the year game was last week between 299 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Vikings. So because Cincinnati won that game, 300 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: they won the award. So and again we're handing out 301 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: an award coming up at about ten minutes from now, 302 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: But our mister TODDI Award the most impressive in season 303 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: turnaround of the year has to go to the Cincinnati 304 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: Bengals based on that overtime win last year. Again, don't 305 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: shoot the messenger. I'm just letting you know how this 306 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: stuff is determined. Okay, all I'm doing is opening up 307 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: the card on a stage in front of everybody, and 308 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: I'm letting you know. The most impressive in season Turnaround 309 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: of the Year award went to Cincinnati by way of 310 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: that win over Minnesota last week.

And if I would 334 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: have told you before the year that you could get 335 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: into a Jets game late in the season for under 336 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: ten dollars, you would have thought I was crazy, or 337 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: you would have thought something awful would have happened. Well, 338 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: something awful happened, and Aaron Rodgers got hurt four plays 339 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: into the season, and now he's not coming back and 340 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: the Jets are not very good. And so because of that, 341 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: here we are talking about Jets Commanders and getting into 342 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: a game for under ten dollars. But you know what 343 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: I've noticed happening over the past few days, something that 344 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: I knew was always going to be there, something I 345 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: knew was always going to be there. Are you noticing 346 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: the people coming out of the woodwork that are now 347 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: burying Aaron Rodgers for this attempted comeback. Have you seen that. 348 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: It's all over the place, people sort of diminishing the 349 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 1: fact that he's even this close to be returning this 350 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: soon after an achilles injury. You've got people that take 351 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: issue with the fact that he's part that he's practicing 352 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: with the team, and he's taking up a roster spot. 353 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: There all of a sudden, people care about, you know, 354 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: whose spot he's taken on the roster, even though, like 355 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: if this were to happen any other roster throughout the 356 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: course of the league, throughout the course of this weekend, 357 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: nobody would make a sniff about it. Nobody would even 358 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 1: acknowledge it. But because it's Aaron Rodgers, everybody coming out 359 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: of the woodwork. And all this does is prove what 360 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: I knew was always there, Like I knew this was 361 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: always going to happen, that no matter what Rogers does, 362 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: somebody's going to have an issue with it. And we 363 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: all know why somebody's got an issue with it, And 364 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: we all know why people have an issue with Aaron 365 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: Rodgers because they cannot get over the immunized crap from 366 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. They can't they can't let 367 00:19:53,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: it go. They just can't let it go. This is 368 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: still residing in the disgruntlement of Aaron Rodgers or towards 369 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They can't let it go. It's like when 370 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: you bring over a buddy who makes a comment that 371 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: pisses off the misses and it's like, ah, listen, he 372 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: was drinking a little bit and like, don't worry about 373 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: it, It's all good. And then like years could go by 374 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: and like can you think everything's normal and everything's fine, 375 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden that one time you're like, hey, 376 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: so and so is coming by. He's gonna we're gonna 377 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: have a beer, watch the game. Huh, but you're not 378 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: well what about like years ago when he made the 379 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: comment about you know, our couch dude, that was like 380 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: four years ago, Like what do you want me to do? Well? 381 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean like, is he gonna sit on that couch 382 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: or is that couch not good enough for it? You're 383 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: never gonna let it go. Like what do you care 384 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: if the guy's on the practice squad or practicing with 385 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: the team. What do you care for on the sideline 386 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: watching a game? What do you care if he does 387 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: an interview each week? And whether he gets paid for 388 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: it or not. What do you care if he gives 389 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: updates on his injury and was telling everybody he wanted 390 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: to come back, but now he's not coming back. What 391 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: do you care if the Jets feel like, Hey, having 392 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: Rogers practice with us is good for the morale of 393 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: the team down the stretch of the season. Him getting 394 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: those practice reps with guys that presumably are going to 395 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: be on the team next year and being able to 396 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: work out What do you care? Would you rather Rogers 397 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: just sat home, just sat home and wasted away and 398 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: gained a bunch of weight and then tried to come 399 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:49,239 Speaker 1: back afterwards. He's been really aggressive trying to return. He 400 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: wants to come back and play. So now the issue 401 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: with Rogers is the fact that he wants to play. 402 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: Before it was, well, we don't know whether or not 403 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: he wants to play, and we don't know. Now it's 404 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: that he wants to play and actually wants to be 405 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: out there with his team. But now, all of a sudden, no, 406 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: that's a problem. When he was in Green Bay, he 407 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: wasn't a good enough teammate at the end. He was 408 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: calling out his wide receivers, etc. Etc. Now he wants 409 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: to be there with his team. He wants to be 410 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: on the sideline. He wants to help out and help 411 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: out in any way possible. Now that's an issue. It's 412 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: like everything people didn't like about him in Green Bay, 413 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: he does the opposite with the Jets, and now you 414 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: don't like him. Then no matter what, he's not going 415 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: to be able to win. And then next year when 416 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: he does come back and hopefully is healthy, if the 417 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: Jets make a run or if they lose in the 418 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: first or second round of the playoffs, who do you 419 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: think is going to get all the blame? Of course, 420 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: of course, this is the way this works because people 421 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: can't get over it. They think he's smug, they think 422 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: he's arrogant. They think, okay, maybe he is. I have 423 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: no idea. I don't care. Guy wants to go out 424 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: there and play and practice with the team, so be it. Yeah, 425 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: but he made it seem like he was gonna return 426 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: and he was never going to return. Okay, we'll never know, 427 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: but I do know this. We've seen a lot of 428 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: people tear their achilles. We've seen a lot of people 429 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: suffer the same injury, and I don't see a lot 430 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: of them practicing with the team this soon afterwards, Like, 431 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of them taking this approach 432 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: and getting aggressive with it. Look, I wanted to see 433 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: him come back and play. I'd still like to see 434 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: him come back and play final game of the season 435 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks from now. If Rogers said, you 436 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: know what, can I get a couple snaps? I would 437 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: love to see it. But the reality is there are 438 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: people that don't want to see it because they don't 439 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: want to hear from Rogers anymore. They don't want they 440 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: can't let it go. So and so is coming over. 441 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: He wants to watch the game. Oh well, make sure 442 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't sit on that couch. Not good enough for him. 443 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: It's like, dude, get over it. It was a comment, 444 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: a drunken comment made a couple of years ago. Rogers 445 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: made a comment about being immunized. People called him a liar. 446 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: He didn't You just didn't do your job, And now 447 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: people can't let it go. No matter what this guy does, 448 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a problem with it, Like, well, hey, 449 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: we found out that Rogers does an interview with Pat 450 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: McAfee and he gets paid like a million dollars for it. Yeah, 451 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: do you think Belichick doing local interviews in Boston are free? 452 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: You think, like, I got news for you. Let's just 453 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: go back and peel back the curtain here. There are 454 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot of guests and a lot of celebrity or 455 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: athlete appearances on radio shows that aren't free.

No, you want to know why he does 460 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: it because it's not free. It's just like, look at 461 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: what point you gotta let it go. He wants to 462 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: practice with the team. He wants to be with the team. 463 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: He wants to work out with the team. He wants 464 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: to stand on the sideline. He wants to try and 465 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: come back. So be it. It's his life, it's his career. 466 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: You only get one of them. He's got a very 467 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: small amount of time left, and he wants to enjoy 468 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: it the way he wants to enjoy it.

Gee, how could you Martin. It is 510 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, 511 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: coming up in we'll call it twelve minutes from now, 512 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna have another edition of do You Care? Speaking 513 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: of not caring, we are going to have another edition 514 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: of do You Care? Always a fun, positive filled segment, 515 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have that for you again here from 516 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: the tire raq dot com studios. I'll say this though, 517 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: and Martin mentioned this, So Trevor Lawrence is going to 518 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: be available for the Jaguars and they've got a huge 519 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: matchup coming up this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Look, 520 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: it has not been the season. I think a lot 521 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: of people thought from Jacksonville they have not been the team. 522 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people expected them to be 523 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: the team ready to make the next take the next step, 524 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: or make the next jump in the AFC. And maybe 525 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has had a little bit of a down 526 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: year and or an up and down year is maybe 527 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: a better way to put it. At least he's available, 528 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: I will say that, because there was a lot of 529 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: stuff about Trevor Lawrence coming out in the draft, talking 530 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: about well, you know, he's very skinny. He's tall and skinny. 531 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: He's got to bulk up, you know, can he handle 532 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: the rigors of the NFL. Can he handle all the 533 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: pounding he's going to take on Sundays in the NFL. 534 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: Dude doesn't miss games. He doesn't miss game I don't like. 535 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: I think it's all the way back since high school. 536 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever missed a game. Like, so, 537 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say about the guy. He is durable. 538 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: Like he's been dealing with a knee issue for weeks 539 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like he hasn't been healthy. It's similar 540 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: to Jalen Hurts. Like a lot of people are critical 541 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts's play, then he has not played anywhere 542 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: close to what he was last year. I don't think 543 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: he's healthy. I don't think Hurts his healthy. I don't 544 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: think Lawrence has been healthy for majority of the season. 545 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: He's got that ankle issue that popped up. Now he 546 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: went into concussion protocol and the feeling was all right, 547 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna get CJ. Bethert, and now he's cleared protocol. Like, 548 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say about the guy. If they 549 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: say the greatest ability is availability, you can say that 550 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence in spades. That guy is always there, 551 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: always answers the bell, and apparently he will be getting 552 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: the start at Tampa Bay in a huge game for 553 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up this weekend in the NFL. 554 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: All right, it is Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio, 555 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: and now it is time to hand out an award here, 556 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: and you're probably thinking to yourself, well, if you're handing 557 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: out the TGFG Game of the Week award, what could 558 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: possibly be worse? What could possibly be worse than the 559 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: Commanders and the Jets going for under ten dollars a 560 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: ticket at MetLife Stadium on Christmas Eve? Well, the answer 561 00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: is easy. It's time for Cardinals at Bears. Yeah, that's right, 562 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: Arizona at Chicago. How about it a couple of teams 563 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: who originally were in Chicago. You had the Chicago Cardinals 564 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: and the Chicago Bears. A little North versus South battle there. 565 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: But you've got the Cardinals and the Bears, and you're 566 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: thinking to yourself, well, how is this game any worse 567 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: than the Commanders and the Jets. And you could look 568 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: at combined records and you could play that game I'm 569 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: not even looking at that. By definition, when you have 570 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: two fan bases who neither one of them wants to 571 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: win this game, by definition, that is your TGFG game 572 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: of the week. Look, Arizona is looking around, going, you know, 573 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: if we play our cards right here, no pun intended, 574 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: and if we go ahead and lose out, there's a 575 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: potential we could end up with the number one pick 576 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: in the draft. Now it's a long shot because Carolina 577 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: stinks and somehow they beat Atlanta last week. It's a 578 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: long shot. But Arizona's going, you know, we could end 579 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: up with the worst record in the NFL, and then 580 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: we've got all the decisions that we could possibly make. 581 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: I think you keep Kyler Murray and I think you 582 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: build around it. But if you're Arizona and you're looking 583 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: to pick up draft capital again this year, that is 584 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: the potential for you if you lose out and lose 585 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: every game down the stretch. So you know that fan 586 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: base doesn't want him to win, and the Bears can 587 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: try and pretend like, oh, we're the most loyal fit. 588 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: There are Bear fans out there, a significant amount of 589 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: them who are looking at this going. You know, although 590 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: that was a tough one last week in Cleveland. Probably 591 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world, you know, probably 592 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world. And if we 593 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 1: just happen to come up short against the Arizona Cardinals, 594 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: probably not the worst thing in the world. Yes, we 595 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: hold all the cards. Again, no pun intended when it 596 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: comes to the Carolina Panthers and having their pick potentially 597 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: first and most likely first overall. But it would be 598 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: nice if we could sit here with two top five picks, 599 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: if not better coming up in the draft next April. So, 600 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: by definition, when you have two fan bases who neither 601 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: one of them wants their team to really win this game, 602 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinal and the Bears are your TGFG game of 603 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: the week, your thank God for gambling game of the 604 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: week in Week sixteen in the NFL, because if not 605 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: for gambling, nobody's watching this. Coming to Knox here Fox 606 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox 607 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: at the Jonas Knox on Twitter.

I mean, if we're to believe that 618 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: a problem was solved in the NFL, then we should 619 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: expect some different results, right, I mean, apparently that's what 620 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: I've been hearing for a lot. So we're to believe 621 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: that that's the issue, we should see some better results, 622 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: and that'll happen here. We'll get into that because I 623 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: find it hard to believe, but some are the opposite, 624 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: So we'll get into that for you again, coming up 625 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: here in about fifteen minutes from now here on Fox 626 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

Do you want to play basketball 664 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 5: or do you want to be in the streets? 665 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean live said he gave him a choice. Yeah, look, 666 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, like what do people want? Like this like 667 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: the David Look, David Stern was very controversial, like people 668 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: like there are a lot of people that feel certain 669 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: ways about David Stern. A lot of people didn't like him. 670 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 1: They didn't like the fact. But I mean, like, why 671 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 1: what is the point now? Like if you're on Iverson 672 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: you have a problem with it or you have some 673 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: sort of an issue with it, release the album.

Check it out. I mean everybody else 678 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: is doing something now. I mean everybody else has got 679 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: some sort of a music music spotlight. I mean, listen, 680 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: post alone says it himself. He goes, man, if not 681 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: for Auto Tune, I'd be nowhere, like talent, one of 682 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: the most talented musicians there is, and he says it. 683 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: So if you're AI, just drop it.

Yeah? I do. This is great. I 733 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: love how Belichick's like, oh, you remembered all that stuff 734 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: from years ago. I wonder what he could be referencing, Yeah, 735 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: like you remember all that. Like listen, these were deflated 736 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: footballs that affected the kickoffs. There were two miskicks in 737 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: the first half. I'm just letting you know that this 738 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: is still happening and I got nothing to do with it. 739 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: I love this approach by Belichick. Put it on the league, 740 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: make them address the issue. Deflate Gate was a sham. 741 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: It should have never happened. It was one of the 742 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: big most bogust outrage stories that we've seen in a 743 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: long time. In Belichick, all these years later, when everybody's 744 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: calling for his job, reaches into the holster and pulls 745 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: out a classic, points it back at the NFL and says, 746 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: you guys, handle this. I had nothing to do with this. 747 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: We don't control this. It affected both teams. You guys, 748 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: deal with this. I got stuff to do next. 749 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 5: In probably the biggest news yet in twenty twenty three, 750 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 5: In and Out, the fast food chain has made two 751 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,919 Speaker 5: a day to its menu for the first time since 752 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 5: twenty eighteen.

Hawaii is a big time Christmas 792 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: attraction where you walk down Waikiki and there is like 793 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: a Christmas only store, which is odd in July or August. 794 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: So like if you're walking down Honolulu, you'll come up 795 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: on a store and it's all Christmas everything, every decoration 796 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: you could possibly think of, so a big like a 797 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: lot of people think snow when they think of Christmas.

Then you get to Honolulu and you're 803 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: looking around, going man this is like a big Christmas area. 804 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: It's eighty five. I smell because I have bo I've 805 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: got sand in between my toes, and I just walked 806 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: into a giant Santa Claus hugging a reindeer statue instiade 807 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: a store in Waikiki. It's a little odd, but nonetheless 808 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: under reports. A shout out to our friends listening on 809 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: Fox Sports nine ninety Now. We talked about the games 810 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: coming up later on tonight. Most notably, we've talked about 811 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: one of them, and that would be the first game 812 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: that kicks off this Saturday action in a busy, busy 813 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: NFL weekend for the Christmas holiday. And you've got the 814 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,760 Speaker 1: Bengals and the Steelers. And I was talking about this earlier. 815 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: I think Cincinnati has had one of the best in 816 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: season turnarounds we've seen in a long time, where if 817 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: you consider started off zero to two, started off one 818 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: and three. They've lost their quarterback for the year. They're 819 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: losing Jamar Chase for at least this game, and he 820 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: was banged up last week, so they're losing their best 821 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: receiver down the stretch of key games. And yet here 822 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 1: the Bengals are with an opportunity to still go to 823 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they're at Pittsburgh, a team who I 824 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: think has come back down to reality. It feels like 825 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has been exposed. There's been a lot of things 826 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: that have gone their way early in the season, and 827 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: now it feels like all those things that went their 828 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: way early in the season aren't going their way. And 829 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: it feels like a non playoff team who's getting exposed 830 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: for what they really were the entire time. And then 831 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: you get to the night game, and we're going to 832 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: see some history, by the way, because you got the 833 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: Bills and you got the Chargers, and it's from the 834 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: world's largest gazebo Sofi stadium, and so you're looking at 835 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: this game going, we're going to get some history. It's 836 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: on Peacock. It'll be streamed on Peacock exclusively, and the 837 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: entire fourth quarter commercial free. Now. I've talked about this 838 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: yesterday on Fox Sports Radio. Call me old school. I 839 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: like commercials. Most notably, I like making my son sit 840 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: through commercials. You can call me a bad parent. I 841 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: just want him to know what it was like back 842 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: in the day. If you want to really have me 843 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: step on the gas and really let him know what 844 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: it was like back in the day. I'll make him 845 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: stand up next to the TV and turn the channels 846 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: and claim that the remote is out of batteries if 847 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: you really wanted me to do that, because that's what 848 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: I had to go through. Stand by the TV and 849 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: keep turn in the channel until you found something that 850 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: Dad liked. That's what I had to go through. So 851 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: if you really want me to go old school and 852 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: step on the gas, I could do that. But instead 853 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: I'll make them sit through commercials like, oh, I've got 854 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: a YouTube account, you know what? Though, not going to 855 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: sign in? How do you like those ads? Yeah? Like 856 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: call me old school. So Peacock's going to cater to 857 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: the add crowd. The people that don't want to sit 858 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 1: through They can't keep their attention span for that long, 859 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: so they're going to make it easy. No commercials for 860 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of this game. But here's the part 861 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: that I find interesting about this game, because I've been 862 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: told this for a couple of years now, so I 863 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: just want to make sure we're on the same page, 864 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: right And this will be a point that I will 865 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 1: bring up because I do local TV here in LA 866 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: on Channel four, and we're going to be on after 867 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: the game, and so people have attacked me and been 868 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: upset with me when I when I've asked just some 869 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: honest questions about the Chargers because I just want to know, like, 870 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: now that Brandon Staley's gone, everything's fine, right, I just 871 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: I want to know, because that's what I've been told, 872 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: like that that was the problem. So I just I 873 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: just want to be clear that now that he's gone, 874 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: and it's the first time without Brandon Staley as head 875 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: coach in a couple of years, my assumption is, don't 876 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: worry about it. Now we're going to get to see 877 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: this team that he's been holding back for years and 878 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 1: years now. I mean that that's my assumption. That's what 879 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: I've been told. So I just want to make sure 880 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: that we're all on the same page here, because if 881 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: that were the case, you would assume we're looking at 882 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 1: a competitive football game coming up later on tonight. That 883 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,240 Speaker 1: that that is my assumption, based on all the information 884 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: that I've been given and all the takes that I 885 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 1: have heard from people over the past couple of years 886 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: on the Chargers and their issues. That is my assumption. 887 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 1: So let me just go ahead and check on the 888 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: uh the betting line here, which should indicate and upgrade 889 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: for the Chargers since they are without Brandon Stately And 890 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and check this out real quick. 891 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: Oh no, there's still eleven and a half point underdogs 892 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: at home. Okay, just want to make sure. By the way, 893 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: maybe this is a more accurate statement of the LA Chargers. 894 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: How about bad teams are just bad teams, you know, 895 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: like you could sit there and like criticize and blame everybody, like, 896 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, well what was this so that, like, dude, 897 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: bad teams are bad teams? You know that part in 898 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 1: Major League, which, by the way, a movie that you 899 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: could not remake today because the team name is offensive. 900 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: Like you know that part in Major League where those 901 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,439 Speaker 1: fans are sitting in the crowd and the guy gets 902 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: a hold of a fastball and then while the fans 903 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: are sitting there in the crowd and they're like pounding 904 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: the drums, they stop and they go, no, it's too high, 905 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: it's too high. Na, No, it's too And then they 906 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: start arguing after the ball goes over the fence and 907 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: like what is that too high? What kind of comment 908 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: is that? And then what. Finally, one of them just says, 909 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 1: who cares, it's gone, Like, what does it matter? It's 910 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: a home run? Like, why are we arguing? This is semantics? 911 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 1: Like what are we arguing about. It's like, oh, they 912 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,839 Speaker 1: need to get rid of Brandon Staley. Okay, yeah, that'll 913 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:23,439 Speaker 1: fix everything. How about this, maybe they're just not very good. Well, 914 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: this is an unfair representation because they've got a backup 915 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: quarterback going on later tonight. They've got a backup quarterback. 916 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: So this is an unfair representation. Yeah, because they're the 917 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: only team that's had to play with a backup quarterback 918 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 1: this season. Hold on, let me go around, take a 919 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: look at the league. Let me just go ahead and 920 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: pull it. Let's see how many teams have had to 921 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 1: play with backup quarterbacks. I'm just gonna name a few 922 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: that have played with backup quarterbacks. Let's see the Bengals 923 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: in a playoff hunt, the Browns in the playoff hunt, 924 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts in the playoff hunt. Let's see the 925 00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans playoff hunt. Looking around, looking around, Yeah, it 926 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: feels like Seattle's in the playoff hunt. They had to 927 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: play with Drew Locke. Let's see yeah, I mean, yeah, Minnesota, Yeah, 928 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 1: I mean, it sure does seem like there's a lot 929 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: of teams that have played with backup quarterbackshit somehow they've 930 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: still managed to, like, you know, be competitive. And so 931 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: again my point is not that Brandon Staley was sitting 932 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: in there lighting up the league as a head coach, 933 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: and you can argue, oh, he deserved to be fired 934 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: and he made poor decisions, totally listen, that's fine. But 935 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: this idea that it's a fix, all that getting rid 936 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 1: of him is going to solve every problem with the 937 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 1: organization is just not the case. Bad teams are bad teams. 938 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: Remember a couple of years ago when everybody couldn't wait 939 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: to get rid of urban Meyer. They couldn't wait. He's 940 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: got to go. Urban Meyer is the problem in Jacksonville, 941 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: and he's got to go. Okay, and then what did 942 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,760 Speaker 1: they do? You know, they looked awful after he left. 943 00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: Most notable highlight from that season, outside of the win 944 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: in Europe on a field goal, the most notable highlight 945 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 1: was them basically eliminating the Colts from the playoffs while 946 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: they had a clown out. Remember that well, By the way, 947 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: speaking of underreported stories, one of the more underreported campaigns, 948 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: successful campaigns that went around by an NFL fan base. 949 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 1: They were tired of doing, like the brown paper bag 950 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 1: on your head and look, I feel like the brown 951 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,319 Speaker 1: paper bag on your head like that. That movement kind 952 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: of went away when they started charging ten cents at 953 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: grocery stores, you know what I mean like it because 954 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: then everyone's like, all right, I'll just keep the plastic 955 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: bag that I bought that one time and keep reusing that. 956 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: It's like the people that walked around with the same 957 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 1: mask for six months during COVID, like you could basically 958 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 1: see through it. It's like you get like you could 959 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 1: see right through, like it wasn't even a mask at 960 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: that point. It was like a fake mustache. It's like 961 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: brown paper bags have gone by the wayside because they 962 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: started charging ten cents, nobody wants to do it anymore. 963 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: So Jaguars fans decided, you know what, why don't we 964 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: get creative here instead of like wearing bags over our 965 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,720 Speaker 1: head to show how embarrassed we are as a fan base, 966 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: why don't we just make it a clown out. We'll 967 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: all dress up like clowns and we'll just sit and 968 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: root on our team. Hopefully they'll lose, and what happened 969 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 1: they ended up winning that game. Highlight of the year. 970 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: But if you would have gone back and listen to everybody, 971 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 1: urban Meyer was the problem. He was the issue. And 972 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: once he's gone, you're gonna get to really see what 973 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: this team is all about. No, they were just a 974 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: bad team. They finished off poor Lee. They're just bad. Like, Yeah, 975 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 1: I took an offseason a head coaching higher for them 976 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 1: to get to where they felt like they needed to go. 977 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: But in that season, they're just a bad team. How 978 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: about this Chargers are just a bad team, like we 979 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: could argue semantics and whose fault is in and he 980 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 1: needed to go? Bottom line, is there a bad team 981 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: and they're going to get annihilated later on tonight. That's 982 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 1: the reality. And if you think that I'm being a 983 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,920 Speaker 1: little bit too harsh, talk to the people who have 984 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: them as close to a twelve point favorite in some 985 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: places at home against the Bills on a Saturday night 986 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: during Christmas holiday. All right, again, don't blame me. I'm 987 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 1: just simply asking questions here. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. 988 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 1: A lot of positive feedback here on the show as well, too, 989 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people very excited, very excited about what 990 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: has happened here on the show, so much so that 991 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: they have decided to chime in.

Get back to fantasizing about him with bleep 997 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 1: McCaffrey and you in a bleep sandwich, you bleep at 998 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: the Jonas knocks on Twitter. At the Jonas Knocks on Twitter. 999 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: By the way, somebody else chimed in earlier. I thought 1000 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 1: this was appropriate, just so you know that we're again, 1001 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:13,360 Speaker 1: We're all on the same page. Here. A guy named 1002 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 1: Saggy Casa Smith called me the white Rob Parker. So 1003 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: of all those, I feel like the last one is 1004 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: the most insulting. Rob Parker here on Fox Sports radioesday 1005 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: morning into the afternoon, Jess was hot apparently all right, 1006 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,720 Speaker 1: So again, Athy Jonas Knocks on Twitter from the Tireraq 1007 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: dot Com studios. By the way, coming up next here, 1008 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: We're going to discuss one coach in the NFL who 1009 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: is very upset about something. The problem is what he's 1010 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: upset about is one hundred percent true, and you'll hear 1011 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 1: from him. That's next. 1012 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 4: We don't need to bring Jonas in. 1013 00:52:51,200 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 1: Jonas Knocks Fox Sports Radio. So we are going to 1014 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: coming up in about well we'll call it a little 1015 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: over ten minutes from now from the tairaq dot com studios. 1016 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: We are going to discuss what is interesting timing. It 1017 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 1: is interesting timing for a move in the NFL if 1018 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,839 Speaker 1: you consider what happened last week. So we'll have that 1019 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 1: for you again coming up here a little over ten 1020 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 1: minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, 1021 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport is a reporting already did a story that 1022 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: apparently there has been no indication in New York that 1023 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 1: Jets owner Woody Johnson will make a change, so it 1024 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 1: looks like Robert Sala and Joe Douglas will be back 1025 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 1: for this upcoming season. Yeah, you think like that's a surprise. 1026 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of people who thought Robert 1027 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 1: Sala was going to be on the hot seat for this. 1028 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that they would bring 1029 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers, sell him on the organization, to sell 1030 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 1: him on the direction of the team, and then after 1031 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,399 Speaker 1: a four play season and him going down for the year, 1032 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,719 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden decide, okay, well, you know, 1033 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: Robert sala and Joe Douglass got to go like that 1034 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: was part of the reason why he came to New 1035 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,279 Speaker 1: York to play for the Jets. So I don't know 1036 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 1: that that was ever actually a realistic option that they 1037 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: were going to move on from from Robert Saler Joe Douglas, 1038 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: and I don't think they should have. Look, you can 1039 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 1: be critical of the messaging surrounding the Zach Wilson and 1040 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: the handling of that and all that, like everybody deserves 1041 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: a do over. They could probably they you know, if 1042 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,720 Speaker 1: you ask them, Yeah, I probably should have done that differently, 1043 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 1: Like everybody deserves it, you know, at least a second chance. 1044 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 1: Everybody deserves a do over. And that to me feels 1045 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: like that was the Jets and Robert Sala and Whatdy 1046 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: Johnson who probably learned from that and going okay, well, yeah, 1047 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,760 Speaker 1: we probably could have done that a little bit differently. 1048 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: Some of the messaging, some of the direction, some of 1049 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: the handling of the quarterback position. We probably could have 1050 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: done that a little bit differently. So I'm not so 1051 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: prize that they're going to be rolling back Robert Solind 1052 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,439 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas. I would have been shocked, as a matter 1053 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 1: of fact, if they would have moved on from Robert 1054 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 1: Solind Joe Douglas. So it looks like, according to Ian Rappaport, 1055 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,840 Speaker 1: that is the plan. There no no indication from Woody 1056 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,880 Speaker 1: Johnson that they are going to go ahead and make 1057 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: any sort of a change at head coach or at 1058 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,840 Speaker 1: GM for the New York Jets. So that is the 1059 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 1: That is the latest on the New York Jets and 1060 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 1: that front. When it comes to when it comes to 1061 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 1: the Jets and potential changes over the course of the offseason, Look, 1062 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,479 Speaker 1: they might, you know, do a retool the roster, add 1063 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: some pieces. They might you know, they might you know, 1064 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 1: obviously hopefully for Roger's sake, address the offensive line. But 1065 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's going to be a ton of 1066 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 1: overhaul with the Jets. Like it still does seem like 1067 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,879 Speaker 1: a pretty good defense, pretty good They've got talent, they've 1068 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: got weapons, and that team, you know, if Rogers is healthy, 1069 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 1: should make some noise next year, all right, Jonas Knox, 1070 00:55:55,320 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Now, speaking of the AFC East, Mike 1071 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 1: McDaniel was not happy earlier this week, and it takes 1072 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,400 Speaker 1: a lot for Mike McDaniel to not be happy. Seems 1073 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: like one of the most like fun coaches you could 1074 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: play for. Seems like he's always in a good mood. 1075 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,480 Speaker 1: He's got like his own unique style, like he does 1076 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: his own thing like he just like he's been a 1077 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: great addition. He's been great for twa takaba I looa. 1078 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 1: He's been great for Miami, he's been great for the NFL. 1079 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 1: Like he's awesome. I don't know anybody that has a 1080 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: problem with Mike McDaniel, But he did speak earlier this 1081 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: week about this notion, this narrative, if you will, that 1082 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins have a little bit of a padded record, 1083 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 1: that the Dolphins are a team that has been blessed 1084 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 1: by having a quote unquote easy schedule. And so Mike 1085 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,760 Speaker 1: McDaniel shared his thoughts and what he tells his team 1086 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 1: when it comes to having to deal with some of 1087 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 1: the criticism over the soft schedule that they've had this season. 1088 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 7: I instructed the players to anything other than concerning your 1089 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,360 Speaker 7: SLF with the next opponent, which for us is the 1090 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys, and any other narrative that has to do 1091 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,280 Speaker 7: with good teams or playoff seeds. 1092 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 1: Or the next three gate all that stuff. 1093 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 7: I gave them the clearance to tell all members of 1094 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 7: the media to, with all due respect, f off with 1095 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 7: all due respect, because all we're focused on is the 1096 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys. 1097 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: I get it. But they're right though, like anybody that 1098 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: questions the validity of the Dolphins and who they've beaten 1099 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 1: this year are right. I mean, they're zero to three 1100 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,480 Speaker 1: VERSE opponents with a winning record and ten and one 1101 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: VERSE opponents without a winning record. I mean, the numbers 1102 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: are there. It's not we're talking about a small sample size. 1103 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: We're coming up on the new year, like it's week 1104 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: sixteen like that. I mean, like the proof is there. 1105 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Miami is not a good team, 1106 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,480 Speaker 1: but I don't know that that they're one of these 1107 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: teams that you look at and go, oh, well that's that's, 1108 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 1: you know, one of the top tier teams. I mean, 1109 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: we've seen them against top tier teams and they've lost 1110 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: every time. So like, and I know that Mike McDaniel 1111 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: can can feel that way. And again, I love Mike McDaniel. 1112 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: I love what the Dolphins are doing there, I loved 1113 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: I love all of that. But the reality is like that, 1114 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 1: like it's not like people are making stuff up. 1115 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 7: You know. 1116 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: It's like it's like, you know, when you hear somebody 1117 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 1: tell you a fight, they I tell you details of 1118 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 1: an argument they had with somebody. You know, like like 1119 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 1: the wife comes home and she goes, oh, I got 1120 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 1: into it was so and so today, Oh yeah, what 1121 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 1: happened was she's making some dumb comments about me and like, 1122 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, saying so like what you say, just saying 1123 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: like oh, I'm too stubborn for my own good, and 1124 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, like I don't let her finish, and you're 1125 00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,520 Speaker 1: just kind of sitting there going, oh she did. Huh Yeah. 1126 00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,600 Speaker 1: Can you believe that? Yeah, as a matter of fact, 1127 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 1: they can, because that's kind of the truth. Like I 1128 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: don't know, like Mike McDaniel can be critical of people's 1129 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,479 Speaker 1: criticism of them, but it's the truth. And so that's 1130 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 1: why this game against the Dallas Cowboys does present them 1131 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: the opportunity to prove a lot of people wrong. What's 1132 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 1: great is that same conversation you could have about the 1133 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. You could have that exact same conversation about Dallas. 1134 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: And I've had that same conversation about Dallas. Like I 1135 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,440 Speaker 1: think Dallas is a good team. I think Dallas is, 1136 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, one of the better teams in the NFL. 1137 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: But I don't know that I'm ready to just say, oh, well, yeah, 1138 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,439 Speaker 1: I mean Dallas, that's a team that you know, should 1139 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: be reckoned with when it comes to the because the 1140 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is they've lost to the Niners, 1141 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,840 Speaker 1: They've lost to the Eagles, they lost to the Bills. 1142 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they lost to the Cardinals in Week three. 1143 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 1: That was kind of you know, I still can't figure 1144 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 1: out what happened there. But you look at that else 1145 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,919 Speaker 1: his losses and you go, well, those kind of all 1146 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 1: have a common denominator. Those are all teams that are 1147 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 1: really good teams or near the top of the NFL. 1148 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 1: So that's why the conversation is there. It's not like 1149 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 1: people are just making this stuff up. Oh, that's a 1150 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 1: that's a media driven narrative, Like no, that's a numbers 1151 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 1: driven narrative. That's a reality based narrative, Like the reality 1152 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: is the Dolphins and the Cowboys have dealt with the 1153 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 1: same criticisms or questions all season long. They've been looked 1154 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:34,600 Speaker 1: at his teams that have a padded record against bad teams. 1155 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,840 Speaker 1: That's why this game is a fascinating matchup. That's why 1156 01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 1: people are looking at this going this is gonna be 1157 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: a fun one because you're gonna come away from this 1158 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 1: and you're gonna feel better about the winner of this 1159 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: game and the loser of this game. That narrative is 1160 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: only going to get bigger. So if Mike McDaniel wants 1161 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: to tell people to f off, if they feel that 1162 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,439 Speaker 1: way about the you know, about his team, you better 1163 01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: not lose this game. Because you lose this game, it's 1164 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 1: only going to get louder. And by the way, if 1165 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: you lose this game and the Bills do what everybody 1166 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 1: thinks they're going to do against the Chargers coming up 1167 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 1: later on tonight, we could be looking at potentially a 1168 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 1: collision course in the afcast to where things go a 1169 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: certain way. We get to Week eighteen and next thing 1170 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, Dolphins and Bills are having to play for 1171 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: the division again. I like the Dolphins, I like the 1172 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: direction of the team, love Mike McDaniel, love Tua, love 1173 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 1: everything they've done there. Dallas was my Super Bowl team. 1174 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 1: Obviously I love the Cowboys. But the reality is, when 1175 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: you think about a San Francisco forty nine er team 1176 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 1: and a team like that, it feels like these are 1177 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 1: two of the teams kind of jumbled up in the 1178 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:47,040 Speaker 1: Tier two or potentially Tier three market when it comes 1179 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 1: to who you actually think is a legitimate Super Bowl contender. 1180 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 1: Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox 1181 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: at the Jonas Knox on Twitter and again you can 1182 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 1: hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app. 1183 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 1: So coming up next to here, interesting timing, Interesting timing 1184 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: for a move in the NFL.

Not proud of it, but it 1232 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: will be addressed, at least partly. I'll take responsibility. I'll 1233 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: say this, a couple of the teams that I picked 1234 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 1: deserve the blame. Just as much as I do, because 1235 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I was on the right side of things. 1236 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: They just showed up and showed out a crap performance 1237 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,160 Speaker 1: when I needed them to give the opposite. So we'll 1238 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: get into that for you again coming up here fifteen 1239 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,200 Speaker 1: minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio. So kind of 1240 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 1: an interesting timing, interesting timing for a move to be 1241 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 1: made in the NFL. We have a decision that was 1242 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: made in Chicago. The Chicago Bears have announced an extension 1243 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:59,320 Speaker 1: for Cairo Santos, the most accurate kicker in Bear's history, 1244 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: even more so than Robbie Gold who recently officially retired. 1245 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Cairo Santos has gotten a contract extension, a four year 1246 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 1: deal that's going to tie him to the team for 1247 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 1: the next several years. Now, what's interesting about this is 1248 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 1: the timing of it, considering what happened last week when 1249 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 1: the Bears were playing the Cleveland Browns first half, four 1250 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: seconds left on the clock. The Bears have the football 1251 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 1: on the thirty eight yard line, which would mean a 1252 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: fifty five yard field goal at the end of the 1253 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 1: half for the Chicago Bears. And what did they elect 1254 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 1: to do? Throw a Hail Mary, and what was the 1255 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 1: reasoning behind the hail mary under the circumstances too difficult 1256 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:53,680 Speaker 1: of a kick for Cairo Santos. Well, under the circumstances, 1257 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 1: there were four seconds left, so even if he misses, 1258 01:05:56,760 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: he goes wide left, wide right. I feel like with 1259 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: four seconds on the clock, you're not really going to 1260 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 1: do a whole lot of damage. And what if he 1261 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 1: makes it, which he's done before, What if he makes 1262 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,280 Speaker 1: that kick that three points feels like it would come 1263 01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,880 Speaker 1: in really really handy later in the game, And what 1264 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,680 Speaker 1: do you know, they lost by three and when they 1265 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 1: had the ball down the stretch of that game again, 1266 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 1: they elected hail mary. At the end of it, they 1267 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,760 Speaker 1: actually almost pulled it off and not to kick a 1268 01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: long field goal that that one was a little bit 1269 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 1: out of reach. But the point is they've made decisions 1270 01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 1: where it's like, yeah, we don't trust this guy's leg, 1271 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 1: but we do trust him enough to go ahead and 1272 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 1: give him a four year contract extension. A little bit interesting. 1273 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 1: It is just a little bit odd, considering the timing 1274 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 1: of everything, that this would be the move that they 1275 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: would make. I think everybody's expecting that we're seeing the 1276 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 1: final games of Justin Fields and potentially Matt Eberflus. Although, 1277 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 1: if you have seen any of the recent reports about 1278 01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 1: other openings in the NFL for head coaching, Ian Rappaport 1279 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,479 Speaker 1: and the NFL Network just did a big, a big 1280 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 1: production on the Chargers situation, and they talked about the 1281 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,480 Speaker 1: Chargers job and what the plan is for head coach 1282 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 1: and for GM there with the La Chargers.

They've directed a lot of their anger 1340 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:04,200 Speaker 1: at me. They have mocked me, ridiculed me, made fun 1341 01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: of me. But if you've listened to recent history, you 1342 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,720 Speaker 1: know there's one person that can bounce back from a 1343 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: poor gambling performance.

And again I'll tweet 1373 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 1: that out at the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knocks 1374 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: on Twitter. But right now, though, it is time to 1375 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,560 Speaker 1: be accountable, at least part way for some poor decisions 1376 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 1: gambling wise, it's time for this. Hey lock it, let's 1377 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:03,160 Speaker 1: nottch it no and Knox Loucks. Let me just say this, 1378 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:08,120 Speaker 1: and I want to be very clear about this. Screw 1379 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 1: the AFC South, actually, you know what, and screw the 1380 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 1: NFC South as well too. I can't figure out anybody 1381 01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,920 Speaker 1: in either division, all right, but if we're talking about 1382 01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,720 Speaker 1: just two divisions, that don't seem to make any sense whatsoever. 1383 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 1: I have been burned left and right by both. I 1384 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,800 Speaker 1: was under the assumption that Jacksonville was gonna run away 1385 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 1: with this thing weeks ago. They have not. I was 1386 01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,439 Speaker 1: under the assumption Houston would be one of the worst 1387 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,840 Speaker 1: teams in the league. They absolutely are not. Now I 1388 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 1: think I've been pretty right about the fact that Carolina stinks. 1389 01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,760 Speaker 1: But the Atlanta Falcons get out of my life. Same 1390 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,960 Speaker 1: with the New Orleans Saints. I'm done with them. Like, 1391 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,120 Speaker 1: how does Atlanta, a three point favorite last week, roll 1392 01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,840 Speaker 1: out that bag of feces that they rolled out monsoon 1393 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:05,719 Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers. How is that possible? Arthur Smith 1394 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 1: went from Hey, his job is saved. Nothing to worry 1395 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,800 Speaker 1: about here too. I don't know. We're gonna look into 1396 01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 1: things because a one game then they got fined like 1397 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars because they weren't forthright about Jon 1398 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,400 Speaker 1: Robinson's injury that he was dealing with, or his illness whatever. 1399 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 1: Before a game like this. The Saints I've given up 1400 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,479 Speaker 1: on the Saints completely altogether. You saw what happened on 1401 01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 1: Thursday Night football. Yeah, they lost by eight, may as 1402 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 1: well have been eighty. Like, I'm done with it, and 1403 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,760 Speaker 1: so me picking the Atlanta Falcons minus three last week 1404 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:41,280 Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers. Look, I'm willing to accept responsibility 1405 01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,840 Speaker 1: for it. I'm willing to be accountable for it, but 1406 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,600 Speaker 1: only on the terms that the NFC South and the 1407 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,679 Speaker 1: AFC South be accountable for their unpredictable seasons this year. 1408 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 1: That's all I'm asking a little bit of help here. 1409 01:13:55,880 --> 01:14:01,200 Speaker 1: I lost that game now because I am down on 1410 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,040 Speaker 1: the AFC South, and I was down on the spot 1411 01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,840 Speaker 1: that the Jacksonville Jaguars were in last week. I did 1412 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 1: have the Baltimore Ravens winning that game. I felt good 1413 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 1: about it, felt really good about that game. So that 1414 01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,599 Speaker 1: was my one win. And then I followed that up 1415 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 1: by the Philadelphia Eagles minus three against the Seahawks. I 1416 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: should have won that game. I didn't realize that Philadelphia 1417 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,559 Speaker 1: was going to have a defensive meltdown for the ages. 1418 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 1: When you have the lead, you were in control of 1419 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,240 Speaker 1: a game, and you give up a ten play ninety 1420 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,679 Speaker 1: two yard drive to a backup quarterback in a minute 1421 01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: twenty four. By definition, that's one hundred percent on you. 1422 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 1: So I shouldn't be accountable for this one or the 1423 01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,200 Speaker 1: Falcons loss. But again, some people are a little bit 1424 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,400 Speaker 1: more honest than others. I'm going to take the blame. 1425 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:51,599 Speaker 1: I'll take the blame for a consecutive one in two week. 1426 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: I think that's three in a row for me. And 1427 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 1: now I'm sitting here twenty twenty three and two on 1428 01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 1: the season with just a couple of weeks left to play. 1429 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 1: But guess who's back for more Cardinals at Bears. Yeah, 1430 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Bears. Look, I know this was 1431 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 1: your thank God for gambling game of the week, because 1432 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: if not for gambling, nobody's watching. The Bears are a 1433 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,840 Speaker 1: four point favorite, and if the Bears can't get it 1434 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: done against the awful Arizona Cardinals at home, I don't 1435 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 1: know what you want for me. I really don't like 1436 01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:23,559 Speaker 1: Arizona is a Listen, they play hard. Kyler Murray is back. 1437 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,720 Speaker 1: I think you should be the franchise quarterback. I think 1438 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 1: you should be the guy. But the Bears should be 1439 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 1: significantly better in this spot late in the season. With 1440 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 1: whether all of that, Like there's an opportunity here. The 1441 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 1: Cardinals defense has not been good, you know, like you've 1442 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,800 Speaker 1: seen them, Like there's clearly an issue there beyond what 1443 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: was Cliff Kingsbury and all that stuff they're rebuilding. Jonathan 1444 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:46,680 Speaker 1: Gannon's done a good job, a lot better job than 1445 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,240 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people gave him credit for. 1446 01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:51,759 Speaker 1: The Bears should be significantly better than the Arizona Cardinals 1447 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,920 Speaker 1: at this point. And if they can't cover this spread, 1448 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 1: if the Bears can't be better than the Cardinals by 1449 01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 1: more than four points in a December game at Soldier Field, 1450 01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: then I think we've gotten our answer as to what 1451 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,439 Speaker 1: sort of changes we're gonna get in the off season 1452 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,680 Speaker 1: for Chicago. But I like them in this spot a 1453 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,519 Speaker 1: four point favorite at home. Cowboys at Dolphins. Hey, listen, 1454 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, I'm not trying to piss you off, man. 1455 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 1: I talked about this earlier. I'm a big fan of 1456 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,559 Speaker 1: what they got going on here, but I'll gladly take 1457 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,560 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys getting two points on the road. Gladly. 1458 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 1: This is a bounce back spot for the Dallas Cowboys. 1459 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 1: This is an opportunity for them to show up following 1460 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:31,400 Speaker 1: a poor performance last week, and continuing with the theme, 1461 01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 1: if I'm to believe what somebody tells me, then this 1462 01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,839 Speaker 1: should happen. Jerry Jones was talking all about weather issues 1463 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,439 Speaker 1: in Buffalo that was the reason for the loss last weekend. 1464 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,840 Speaker 1: He was talking about weather and poor weather and the 1465 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 1: conditions and them having an effect. Well, if that's the case, 1466 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 1: now you're in Miami, and so if I'm to believe 1467 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,639 Speaker 1: that weather was really the determining factor of last week's 1468 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,080 Speaker 1: awful performance by the Dallas Cowboys, then I'm to believe 1469 01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 1: that they bounce back strong in this spot and they're 1470 01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,879 Speaker 1: getting two points on the road, I'll take the Dallas 1471 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:06,639 Speaker 1: Cowboys plus two at the Dolphins Ravens at forty nine ers. 1472 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens feel disrespected, and they should, although I 1473 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 1: will say them being a six point underdog on the 1474 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 1: road is an indictment of how good the forty nine 1475 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,080 Speaker 1: ers are and what people feel about the forty nine ers, 1476 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,200 Speaker 1: and I feel the same thing. I think San Francisco 1477 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 1: probably wins this game. But if you're telling me I 1478 01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:27,719 Speaker 1: can get the Ravens getting six points on the road 1479 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,800 Speaker 1: in this spot, we've heard all about the MVP conversation. 1480 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 1: It does feel like this is going to make things 1481 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,000 Speaker 1: a lot easier for the voters. Whoever wins this game 1482 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:38,800 Speaker 1: is going to have the advantage when it comes to 1483 01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:40,720 Speaker 1: the MVP vote at the end of this whole thing. 1484 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,839 Speaker 1: Whether it's Brock Purty, you're Christian McCaffrey, or Lamar Jackson 1485 01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 1: or whoever. But I like Baltimore in this spot. Getting 1486 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 1: six points on the road at the Niners, that's going 1487 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,280 Speaker 1: to be a fun one. A potential Super Bowl preview 1488 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,840 Speaker 1: coming up on Christmas Night, And that is your Week 1489 01:17:55,920 --> 01:18:00,080 Speaker 1: sixteen edition of Knox Life. 1490 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 4: Knocks. 1491 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:06,559 Speaker 1: Bet your ass. I'd say you bounce back. The damn 1492 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. What a disaster. What a disaster the Atlanta 1493 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:11,880 Speaker 1: Falcons are. And you know, by the way, if you 1494 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 1: followed and listened to this show over the past couple 1495 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,280 Speaker 1: of years, you know Atlanta has done this to me 1496 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 1: before to where I swear them off, and I swear 1497 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 1: them off and they are giant tees. The New Orleans 1498 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 1: Saints are the same team. They are the strippers of 1499 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,240 Speaker 1: sports betting in the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons and the 1500 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. They just seem tantalizing, it feels like 1501 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:33,599 Speaker 1: the real thing, and at the end of this whole 1502 01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 1: thing you get charged for it. And now you're at 1503 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,719 Speaker 1: backup at the ATM while your buddies are like, dude, 1504 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,599 Speaker 1: can we go? Please? Seriously, can we go? She doesn't 1505 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,000 Speaker 1: like you take a hint. Nonetheless, so this has been 1506 01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,479 Speaker 1: a fun one.
