10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: mistake to really learn what to do when it comes

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: to your planning and when it comes to your decision making.

Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. So there was an interesting

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: move that was made in the NFL yesterday. The Pittsburgh

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Steelers traded away Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. Some

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: draft picks and ball whatever, like nobody cares about that.

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: But then you know, you start to find out, so

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: why was the move made? And there's a couple of

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: layers to this. The first layer which probably won't sit

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: well with Steelers fans who were clapping and jumping for

33
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: jew when Kenny Pickett was drafted because he played at

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: pitt and he was a hometown guy, and it made

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, well listen to me. He's right up

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: the road, or he played in the same stadium, but

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: he went to pitt He can just cruise on down,

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: enter the facility and he's going to be our starting quarterback.

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: And he was the first round pick taken, and everybody

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: was celebrating it. They loved the drafting of Kenny Pickett.

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean they were celebrating at sports bars up and

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: down Carson Street on the south side of Pittsburgh at

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: Mario's and Fat Head Saloon, you know, rippin' iron City

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: lights and just celebrating the hell out of Kenny Pickett

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: coming home. Then he gets to Pittsburgh, and if we're

46
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: gonna be fair, maybe not the best setup. A lot

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: of people critical of Matt Canada, a lot of people

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: critical of that whole situation and Mike Tomlin's loyalty to

49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: Matt Canada and how that offense was looking. A lot

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: of people questioning the direction of the offense, like it

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: wasn't the most idea set up, even though it was

52
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: the most ideal setup from a place to be standpoint,

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: from an offensive standpoint, not the most ideal set up

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: for Kenny Pickett. And on top of that, the guy

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: dealt with injuries. While everybody was so focused on Tua

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: tug of Iloa dealing with concussions. Kenny Pickett had a

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: couple as well too, and that got a fraction of

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: the coverage that two has got because two has happened

59
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: on Amazon Prime and it was a bad look and

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: the optics and all that. So not the most ideal

61
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: set up for Kenny Pickett, and then all of a

62
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: sudden you start to hear these reports, and we talked

63
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: about it. At the time. There was some rumblings that

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett week seventeen of last year going to Seattle

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: may or may not have wanted any part of being

66
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: an emergency quarterback. If he wasn't going to start, he

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: didn't want to suit up. Now there was pushback and

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: denial and people saying that it was made up and

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: all that stuff at the time, and if I recall correctly,

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: it was Mark Madden, great radio host in Pittsburgh on

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. You can hear his show every single

72
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: day in Pittsburgh during the week. It was Mark Madden

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: on the ex in Pittsburgh who said, this story's true.

74
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: A lot of people push back, including Kenny Pickett. And

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: then yesterday, after the deal gets done, Jerry Dulik, who's

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: been covering the Steelers for a long time with the

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: Post Gazette, comes out and says, oh, by the way,

78
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: this trade was sort of fast tracked because Kenny Pickett

79
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: was upset about bringing in Russell Wilson. He was upset

80
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: about that, and this coming on the heels of Kenny

81
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Pickett refusing to suit up in Week seventeen against the

82
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks as an emergency third string quarterback. And now

83
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: you tie those things together with the Steelers' decision to

84
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: go with Mason Rudolph in the biggest games of the year,

85
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: with Kenny Pickett healthy, and in all all starts to

86
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: make sense a little bit. It all starts to come together.

87
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: Not ideal set up for Kenny Pickett, not ideal health

88
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: situation for Kenny Pickett early in his career, and probably

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: not ideal handling by Kenny Pickett of the way competition

90
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: was going to be presented to him. But there is

91
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: some good news here. The Pittsburgh Steelers learned from somebody

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: else's mistake, and there's something to that. There's an old

93
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: adage that if you do something, if you make a

94
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: mistake and you don't learn from it, like doing it

95
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: over again, is like the definition of insanity. I prefer

96
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: the if you see somebody make a mistake and you

97
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: do the exact mistake, you're a moron. Like that's my

98
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: go to because you can learn a lot from just

99
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: seeing what other people do. It's why you should listen

100
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: to your elders because they're telling you, don't do this.

101
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: That's a mistake. And here's why I love to teach

102
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: you my son about these lessons as he's growing up, like, hey,

103
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: don't do this. This is gonna hurt. This is because

104
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: I made all those mistakes. So I'm trying to give

105
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: him the best path for success. And I'm gonna be

106
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: honest with you. About two of ten times he listens

107
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: to me. The other eight he falls on his ass.

108
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: He starts crying, and I go, I try to tell you, dude,

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: But when he has a kid, he's going to pass

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: those lessons along and hopefully that kid goes three for ten.

111
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: But the point is you look around and you can

112
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: take a lot from somebody else who screws something up.

113
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: And I think the Pittsburgh Steelers looked around and said, hey,

114
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: you know what, the way the Jets handled this whole

115
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson thing not great. Why don't we go ahead

116
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: and learn from that mistake and let's just move on

117
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: and cut ties. Let's just go ahead and move on.

118
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: Because the New York Jets were hoarding Zach Wilson like

119
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: it was the most valuable possession in the world when

120
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is it was a bad

121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: situation for Zach Wilson, it was a bad situation for

122
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: the Jets. Just cut the guy loose and let's move

123
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: on with our lives. But instead the Jets continued to

124
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: hold onto him and continue to hold onto him, and

125
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: continued to put him back out there, then take him

126
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: out of the lineup, then put him back out again,

127
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: and then bench him and then complain about him publicly

128
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: and then say no, no, no, we still believe in Zach Wilson,

129
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: but we're gonna sign Aaron Rodgers and make this move

130
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: and trade for him and then you know, bring him

131
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: in to be our quarterback. But then we're gonna turn

132
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: it over to Zack Wilson again. And then Zach Wilson's

133
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: not gonna want to come back into the lineup, But

134
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: then we're gonna need him to come back into the lineup.

135
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna need Aaron Rodgers to beg him to play.

136
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: Like the whole thing was a clown show. It was

137
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: a disaster because they were so caught up in we

138
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 2: can't be wrong about this, we cannot be wrong about

139
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: our pick, and they were so stubborn about it that

140
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: they just held on for way too long, and by

141
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: the time they decided they wanted to move on, the

142
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: value in what you could get back from a trade

143
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: for Zach Wilson was a fraction of what it could

144
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: have been. And the Pittsburgh Steelers probably looked at it

145
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: and said, so, we just brought in a veteran quarterback,

146
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: just like the Jets did. He's going to be the starter,

147
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: just like the Jets were naming Aaron Rodgers the starter.

148
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: We've got a first round pick that we drafted and

149
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: groomed and we're hoping was going to work out, and

150
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: it hasn't for a myriad of reasons. Just like the

151
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Jets went through. You know what, we're not going to do,

152
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: just like the Jets, hold on to him and sink

153
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: the entire ship because we can't get over the fact

154
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: that we might have whiffed on our first round pick.

155
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: And so the Steelers looked around and said, yeah, that's it.

156
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: We're like it's time. And whether he didn't like competition,

157
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: or he didn't want to suit up, or the offense

158
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 2: was a bad fit, or there was injury issues, this

159
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: Steelers recognize got to cut our losses over. You just

160
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: got to cut your losses. And I think part of

161
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: that was helped by the fact that they saw how

162
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: bad the Jets handled the Zach Wilson situation, and they said,

163
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: we're not making that same mistake. So Kenny Pickett's off

164
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: to Philly. The Pittsburgh Steelers got their starter and Russell Wilson,

165
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: and now you just wait to see whether or not

166
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: those teams are going to play each other. Because I

167
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: got a funny feeling if Kenny Pickett's in the game

168
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh's playing Philly, I got a funny feeling if

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: that game's in Pittsburgh at Heinz Field or Acupuncture Stadium,

170
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: whatever the hell they're calling it. Now, he's not going

171
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: to get the best response from those Steelers fans who

172
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: were celebrating and jumping for joy when he was drafted,

173
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: just because of the reports and the way he possibly

174
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: handled his exit out of Pittsburgh. Jonas Noxire on Fox

175
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, all Right, So I'd also like to say

176
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: this that sometimes things are not that complicated. Sometimes things

177
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: are actually made really easy by the people around you.

178
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: Like I've told you, and people think I'm crazy when

179
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: I say this, but I've told people that like if

180
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: you're in a relationship and you're not quite sure if

181
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: she's the one or he's the one, and you're kind

182
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: of debating back and forth, like you like him, you

183
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: care about him, you might even love him, but there's

184
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: still just some question marks you're not quite sure. Sometimes

185
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: they can make it easy on you. Sometimes it is

186
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: good that they cheat. I'll just be honest with you,

187
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: Like if you do walk in the house and you

188
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: know there they are with the you know, the landscaper

189
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: while the you know, the guy cleaning the pool is filming.

190
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes that's not the worst thing in the world, and

191
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: you want to know why, because they made your decision easy.

192
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: They basically gave you the free card, like here you go,

193
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: turn this in, you can get out. You're good, cash

194
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: that in and move on with your life. Everything's fine.

195
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes they'll make it easy on you. And apparently that's

196
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: what the LA Chargers did for Keenan Allen because Keenan

197
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: Allen was traded away for a fourth round pick to

198
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears, and he was in LA for a

199
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: long ass time and people listening on the blowtorch am

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: five to seventy LA Sports he has been one of

201
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: the best players for the Chargers for a significant amount

202
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: of time, and you'd probably think that when you were

203
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: at a place for that long and you move on

204
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 2: and you go to another place and it's so abrupt,

205
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: and it's in the middle of March, and it's like

206
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: you would think, like all that's all the hard work,

207
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: the blood, the sweat and the tears. It'd probably be

208
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: pretty emotional for you to be on your way out

209
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: of one place you've called home for so long and

210
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: into just a brand new place and you just got there.

211
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: But apparently the LA Chargers made it pretty easy, according

212
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: to Keenan Allen, who spoke about his emotions and how

213
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 2: he felt leaving LA to be in Chicago earlier today.

214
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: When a team asks you to restructure after you've been

215
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: with them for so long, what are the emotions they.

216
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: Go through your head and do you need to push

217
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: you out and then make a.

218
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: Business decision or Yeah, there was no emotion. It was

219
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it.

220
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 5: I'm not doing it.

221
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: Came off my best season, so it's not happening. It's

222
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: just that easy. Yeah, sorry, Bill, I don't know, Like, listen,

223
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: this is going to be a really really tough thing.

224
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 1: I don't know.

225
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Am I going to be here long term? Am I

226
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: going to be? Hey, Keenan, you just had your best

227
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: year as a Charger? How about a pay cut? Hmm?

228
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: How about kiss my ass? Okay? There he goes to

229
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: Chicago for a fourth rounder. Sometimes it's just easy, It

230
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: ain't that difficult, and sometimes the people around you will

231
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: make it easy on you. So congratulations Keenan Allen. The

232
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 2: Chargers made it easy on you. And now you're in

233
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: Chicago with what is presumably going to be Caleb Williams,

234
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: DJ Moore, all sorts of talent around you, like Cole Comet,

235
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: every like. There's a lot going on in Chicago, and

236
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen was at his decision and his emotions made

237
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: a lot easier by his former team, Jonas Knox here

238
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,200

251
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: that I believe maybe has realized a little bit too

252
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: late that they made a mistake. We'll tell you who

253

Speaker 2: From Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up about ten

276
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: minutes from now, I'm gonna do the impossible. I'm going

277
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: to try and defend somebody in the NFL that's getting

278
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: buried alive over the past few days. I mean, this

279
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: has been you talk about it, They're getting it from

280
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: TV radio hosts, their own fans, Like there's somebody in

281
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: the NFL just getting chewed up and spit out, and

282
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: I'll try and do my best to defend them at

283
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: about ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio,

284
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: which by the way, that might be some sort of

285
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: a radio bit we should put together bo like to

286
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: where you'll throw topics at me and I've got to

287
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: be like the defense team and try and pull off

288
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: a miracle and defend somebody for their stupid decision or

289
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: something like that. That could be some fun. I mean

290
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: it beats talking about some of this crap in the NBA.

291
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, right, Can we just get

292
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: to the playoffs? Please? Please? All Right? I believe that

293
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: there's somebody in the NFL that made a mistake, and

294
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: I believe that that somebody knows that they made a mistake.

295
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: Some people will disagree. I think that the Minnesota Vikings

296
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: made a mistake not figuring out a way to keep

297
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins all right, Like, and look, we talked about

298
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: it last week, and I was very I don't want

299
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: to say bold, but I was pretty confident Kirk Cousins

300
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: was going to go back to Minnesota. Like there was

301
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: the reports out there that you know, he was interested

302
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: in going to Atlanta, that his wife's family lives nearby,

303
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: that that was something that they were interested in pursuing

304
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: next And I know, like you know, Mike Florio got

305
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: all sensitive about it because people criticize his reporting on it,

306
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: but he was right. He was right. Kirk Cousins now

307
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: in Atlanta falcon And so I look at it and I go, well, like,

308
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: how would you admit that you had made a mistake?

309
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: Like what would you do? Because I think that Minnesota

310
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: looked at the Kirk Cousins that they had and just thought, well,

311
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: you know, his age giving him that money, Like you know,

312
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, well, if he's so old, and if

313
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: his age is such an issue and he's coming off

314
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: the injury, why did the Atlanta Falcons make him priority

315
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: number one in the off season? Like if somebody else

316
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: jumps at the chance to have what you have, isn't

317
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: that kind of an indicator that maybe what you have

318
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: is pretty good? And I know that, Like, look like

319
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: there was gonna be the financial part of all this.

320
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: I get it. But the fact of the matter is

321
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: that's a winnable division. Like I like Detroit, but Minnesota

322
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 2: could compete with Detroit had Minnesota not lost Kirk Cousins

323
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: last year. Those are the two best teams in the

324
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: division of my mind. And Green Bay's got Jordan Love

325
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: and there pretty bullish on Jordan Love, and there's a

326
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: lot of promise there. And the Bears there's a lot

327
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: of what ifs and question marks that we'll get into

328
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: later on, even with the addition of Keenan Allen. But

329
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: I look at Minnesota and I go, I mean, yeah,

330
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: there was a lot of close games. You won the

331
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: division a couple of years ago, but like you're Aaron

332
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: Rodgers finally left, Like you've been dealing with Aaron Rodgers

333
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: for years, and before that, Brett Fahr for years. He

334
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: finally left you. You might have the best quarterback in

335
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: the division, finally, and you decide after one year, eh,

336
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna go in a different direction and then make

337
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: good on that is well, we're going to trade away

338
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: some draft picks so that we can move up to

339
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 2: twenty three in the first round and hope that we

340
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: can package the eleventh pick and the twenty third pick

341
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: and get into the top four range so that we

342
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: can take the fourth best quarterback on the board. I

343
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: don't know, kind of feels like a mistake, I'll be honest.

344
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: Kind of feels like a mistake. Like anybody's seen the

345
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: numbers on daneil Hunter, like guys pretty productive and like

346
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: pretty consistent and pretty durable, and he's gone to I

347
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: just kind of feels like a mistake. And I don't

348
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: think there's any chance they lose justin Jefferson, I don't

349
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: think there's a shot in hell that he's you know,

350
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: going to be out the door. But you know, now

351
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: you got Justin Jefferson talking about well, I mean, I

352
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: guess Justin Fields would be the next best option. It's like, okay,

353
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: well talk to your front office, talk to your organization,

354
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: like Quzia doofa mensa, the GM for the Vikings. I

355
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: just I wonder whether or not he's looking at this

356
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: whole thing through the same eyes that Kevin O'Connell's looking

357
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: at this whole thing. Because we played the sound from

358
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell last week. Kevin O'Connell talked about tampering. He

359
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: alluded to teams maybe talking to Kirk Cousins when they

360
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: shouldn't have had the right to it. At the combine

361
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: All also referenced his record with Kirk Cousins as his quarterback,

362
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 2: like he sounded like a coach who really wanted that

363
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: guy back as his quarterback, Like he really wanted him back.

364
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: And I wonder if he recognized, like, you know, there's

365
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: a chance that like this guy could leave, Like is

366
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: anybody else paying attention to that? It's like I don't

367
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 2: worry about it that or you know, he's replaceable. It's

368
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: really he like are you sure about that? Like how

369
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: many quarterbacks in the NFC right now? Are you sure

370
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: are better quarterbacks than Kirk Cousins. Like if you went

371
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 2: through the NFC right now and you're just positive this

372
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: guy's a better quarterback than Kirk Cousins, who do you got,

373
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. That's a question. Like you can debate that

374
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts after last year. I don't even think it's close.

375
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins when he was healthy last year better than

376
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. I'm sorry, Jared Goff debatable Matt Stafford. You'd

377
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: probably give the edge to Stafford. But if you look

378
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: around the NFC, it's hard to find many. Oh yeah,

379
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: no doubt about it, better quarterback than Kirk Cousins. And

380
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: Minnesota decided, nah, we don't need that anymore, go ahead

381
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 2: and move on. And I don't know how willing they

382
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: were to try. And I know they didn't want to

383
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: give up, you know, guaranteed money again, and they were

384
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: adamant about all that, and they were this and it.

385
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: But it's like you literally had one of the top

386
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: two to three quarterbacks in the conference and you let

387
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: him go to somebody else in the conference. Like a

388
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: lot of this just doesn't make sense to me, and

389
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: I don't think it makes sense to a lot of

390
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: people there. Now, Kevin O'Connell's not going to come out

391
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: and air out the front office after the fact. But

392
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: if if you were to pull Kevin O'Connell aside and say, hey, man, look,

393
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: we know you're an O'Connell, we know it's Saint Patti's day.

394
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: Can we get a couple of minutes to your time,

395
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: turn the mics off, tell everybody else in the room

396
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: to leave, and just say, would you rather go into

397
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: next season with Kirk Cousins or whatever your organization can

398
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: come up with With the twenty third and eleventh pick

399
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: of the draft. He's going to tell you, oh, I'd

400
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: rather go into it with Kirk Cousins. And let me

401
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: go ahead and restate what my record was as a

402
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: head coach that I pointed out last week as kind

403
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: of a hey, front office, we could really use this guy.

404
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: We're a better team with them, but instead they went

405
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: this direction. We get to see how it plays out.

406
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: But I can't imagine there's a lot of people in

407
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: Minnesota that are thrilled with the idea of letting Kirk

408
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: Cousins walk. I just I can't imagine it if it

409
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: was a trade and you got something back. I get

410
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: all that, But you let him walk, and you let

411
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: him walk in conference, and you let him walk to

412
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: a team that's significantly better with him, which makes you wonder,

413
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: aren't we also significantly better with him as well too?

414
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: And Viking fans are going to defend Minnesota and they're

415
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: going to defend the front office and all that, because

416
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: of course they would. But I'm telling you, if you're

417
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: having an honest conversation, you felt better about your team

418
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: going into the next year with Kirk Cousins than you

419

444
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,480

00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: Brown won a semifinal on the men's side for the

469
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: IVY League, so they will take on the winner of

470
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: this game. Right now, in the other semifinal for the championship,

471
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: it's Yale and Cornell, and Yale is up twenty nine

472
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: to nineteen with about four minutes to go. With that,

473
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: let's get it back to Jonas Knox, whose GPA was

474
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: way too high to get into any IVY League school.

475
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: Yale or Cornell just too good, would never have been

476
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: able to qualify because he overqualified.

477
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: Damn right, Listen, I don't want to be seen with

478
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: those nerds. I got a reputation of maintain. What is

479
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 2: your reputation? I mean, it's it's really plummeting, to be

480
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: honest with you, with the way certain things have gone

481
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: lately in my career. But I'll say this, Fenley, I

482
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: was thinking about you yesterday. I love when you think

483
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: about me. All Right, that restraining order can't get here

484
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: soon enough, But I was. I was thinking about you

485
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: because you know, obviously UCLA lost. Oh it's some kind

486
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: of you to think of me on that. Well, no,

487
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 2: but but I was, you know, thinking about all my

488
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: PAC twelve friends who are just seeing the final PAC

489
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: twelve tournament, and it's just like, don't you look around

490
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: and kind of go what happened here like this year

491
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: used to be like it used to be. You went

492
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: from the Pack eight and then you expanded to the

493
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: PAC ten, and then you expanded to the PAC twelve,

494
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: and now you've just gone down to the Pack two.

495
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: And I'm just I'm trying to figure out, like, like

496
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: what happened here? You want to know what happened?

497
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you have a narcissist who comes from the

498
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: tennis industry made to be the commission of the PAC

499
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: twelve tennis narcissism, you put those together and you're going

500
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: to see a conference implode.

501
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: Is that his name is is Larry Scott? Yeah?

502
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should not have mentioned that on the air,

503
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: but sheesh. I mean, that's that's really what it comes

504
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 3: down to. It's very frustrating, Jonas, and you know, I

505
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 3: have to say that it should not have ever been

506
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: this way.

507
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: And it's it's good to talk to you. You know,

508
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: it's been a while.

509
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: I know you've been hanging out with Jared Goff's brother

510
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: and what was his name again.

511
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 2: I believe his name. I believe his name is Jack, Jack,

512
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: that's right. Yeah, Yeah, So it's good to see you

513
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: because it's been a while. Yeah, so so there it

514
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 2: is Brian Fanny. So lesson learned. Everybody, do not bring

515
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: up the name Larry Scott to Brian Fenley or else

516
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 2: you'll get a tennis racket to the side of your face.

517
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: So lesson learned. I got it. Listen, I very understood,

518
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: and we move on with the show. Here it is

519
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Jonas Knocks on Fox Sports Radio. We'll have more from

520
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: Brian Finley coming up later on next hour. You can

521
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app.

522
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: Coming up in about twelve minutes from now, we're gonna

523
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: have another edition of Do You Care. We are going

524
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of several major storylines in

525
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 2: the world of sports and beyond that have come up

526
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: over the past couple of days. That'll be yours here

527
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: again twelve minutes from now from the tire rack dot

528
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: Com studio. So I want to defend somebody. I'd like

529
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: to defend the Dallas Cowboys if you don't mind right now.

530
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't want to defend the Dallas

531
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: Cowboys because they look at the Dallas Cowboys inactivity during

532
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: free agency and they go, what are you waiting on?

533
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: I mean, Skip Bayless took to social media earlier this week,

534
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: and when he heard Jerry Jones make the comments that

535
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: we were we were all in this year, Skip Bayless

536
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: wrote on social media, all in my ass Now. Thankfully

537
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: he put a comma between all in and my ass,

538
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: because had he not, who knows what would happen like that,

539
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: you know, you're you're really flirting with disaster. It's like

540
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: the Wilendez you know, they like tight rope between buildings,

541
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: and it's like like, yeah, this this could go poorly,

542
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: you know, because like imagine, like you're you're in downtown

543
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: in Chicago, right You're having lunch. You're sitting outside of

544
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: ex checker best deep dish pizza place in Chicago, not

545
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: even close by the way, it's over on Wabash. You're

546
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: sitting in Chicago. You know, you you're sitting outside or

547
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: you just walked out having just the best deep dish

548
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: in town, and next thing you know, Will Lenda lands

549
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: right in your to go box, like you got to

550
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: step over the carcass to get to your uber. Like

551
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: it's just a problem, you know. But thankfully they're good

552
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: at this and they use the high wire and they

553
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: use it properly. That they try and decrease the number

554
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: of times that they do a swan dive unintentionally off

555
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: that thing and land in your to go food as

556
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: you're trying to leave a restaurant and enjoy the rest

557
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: of your evening. Skip Bayless found the comma and realized

558
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 2: that's going to save me here. So it was one

559
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: of the great saves and moves in social media history.

560
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: But listen, he's not alone. There's a lot of people

561
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: who have been critical who see the comments from Jerry

562
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: Jones and they go all in, comma my ass. Well,

563
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: Stephen Joe, because of course he would spoke about the

564
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: criticism of the Dallas Cowboys at Kid Rocks Rock and

565
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: Rodeo promotional event that will be held at at and

566
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: T Stadium, and here's what he had to say. What's

567
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: frustrating for us as well.

568
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 5: I mean, whether it be Jerry, whether it be by.

569
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: Myself, whether the will, the coaching staff, the organization, our family.

570
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: I mean, those are all things that you know, no

571
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: one wants it more than we wanted, and I know

572
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: our fans.

573
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: Want it, and certainly it's very understanding that there's frustration. Yeah,

574
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: here's the problem when they go on and they start

575
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: talking about and Stephen Jones made the point that, like, look,

576
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: we don't view success and we don't view going all

577
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: in as to what we do in free agency. We

578
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: view it as do the players we draft and trying

579
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: to keep great players around us. They're right, And I

580
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: know that nobody wants to hear this, and maybe Cowboy

581
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: fans don't want to hear this, but when's the last

582
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: time a team won free agency and then also were

583
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: great during the regular season? Like when's that happened? Because

584
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: like you can count a year from now, two years

585
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: from now, everybody that's a big spender and everybody that's

586
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: made these splash moves in free agency and done all

587
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: this stuff. Like like you can like count go two

588
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: years from now and look back at how many players

589
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: are either cut or having deals restructured, and it just

590
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: hasn't really panned out for that team. This happens all

591
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 2: the time. Like back in twenty eleven, you remember when

592
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles won the offseason, all they brought in everybody,

593
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: Now I'm the awesome while like I mean you could

594
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: like it was a ton of talent came into Philadelphia.

595
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: You know who the greatest move for Philly was during

596
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: that entire offseason like the greatest move, maybe like one

597
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: of the great moves in the history of the franchise.

598
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: Drafting Jason Kelcey in the sixth round. That was the

599
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: best move they made that offseason. But the way it played,

600
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: the way it was being discussed is, man, Philadelphia is

601
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: going to be a monster. Why is that? Because oh, well,

602
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: look at all the moves they made in free agency.

603
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: We know this, this is always the case. Yet when

604
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: the Cowboys don't get aggressive and throw a bunch of

605
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: money out during free agency, people are going, oh my god,

606
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: I mean, what's wrong with Dallas. They're not. It's like, dude,

607
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: why do we know this? And apply this to everybody

608
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: else in sports? But we don't apply it to the Cowboys.

609
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: And it goes back to the same thing we've talked

610
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: about for years on the show, because the Cowboys are

611
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: judged differently because the Cowboys present themselves differently. Case in point,

612
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: Stephen Jones making those comments at Kid Rocks Rock and

613
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: Rodeo promotional event, like nobody else in the NFL's do

614
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: with that. Nobody, like nobody else in the league's do

615
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: with that. Could you imagine David Tepper announcing a contract

616
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: extension for Bryce Young at Kid Rocks Rock and Rodeo

617
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 2: promotional event. You imagine that, first of all, he wouldn't

618
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: be allowed in the venue because he'd probably have thrown

619
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 2: something and he'd being kicked out. But it's like, this

620
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 2: is the Cowboys, So they get judged differently because they

621
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: present themselves differently. And so when you see a team

622
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: who's got a great roster and the Cowboys do, you

623
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: could say whatever you want about them. You see a

624
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 2: team that's got a great roster that doesn't do a

625
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 2: ton in free agency, you might have a little bit

626
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: of blowback from the fan base who gets bored and

627
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: wants to see their team in the news, but you

628
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: don't get the national criticism that they've gotten. But it's

629
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: because it's the Cowboys that we're forgetting about everything we

630
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: know about free agency and who the busiest teams are

631
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: and how much success they have and not apply it here.

632
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: That's all that's going on at v Jonas Knocks on Twitter,

633

Speaker 2: player in the NFL that has destroyed multiple teams, and

643
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 2: in fact, I'll make the argument he's wiped out half

644
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 2: a division. I'll explain who that is. Coming up here

Speaker 1: There are so many stories in the world of sports,

655
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,680

Speaker 1: Here's some of the big stories from the last week,

658
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: But Jonas, the real question is do you care.

659
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 2: For that? We turn it over to our executive producer,

660
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 2: Bo Benson to find out what the hell people have

661
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: been bitching about all week.

662
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 4: Bo.

663
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 6: So, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres

664
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 6: are in Soul, Korea, South Korea for the Soul series

665
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 6: coming up this week. The Dodgers, when they landed at

666
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 6: the airport in Seoul, someone threw an egg at Dodgers

667
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 6: manager Dave Roberts. South Korean police are looking for the suspect.

668
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 6: But all I have to say is Ryan Berschinger is

669
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 6: right here, So if you need to know where to

670
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 6: find him, you can just call or text me.

671
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it's either bursch or Roberto Flores, Yeah,

672
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: our former Fox Sports Radio technical producer. I mean, okay,

673
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: here's why I care. You ever had somebody egg your

674
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 2: house like that? Stuff is a pain in the ass

675
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: to get off, like it like it does damage. Like

676
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: they we used to do these in high school. They

677
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: called it junior senior wars, where like the juniors would

678
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: prank the seniors, the seniors would prank the juniors. All

679
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 2: that stuff, And I remember they got my parents' house

680
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 2: and like trying to clean off the egg from the house. Now,

681
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: did it hit Dave Roberts? Did they at least hit me?

682
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 6: I believe it didn't make direct contact with Roberts. I

683
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 6: think it landed in front of him.

684
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: Damn. It's a close call. But again, kind of a

685
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: pain in the ass to get out. So at least

686
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: he dodged a bullet, like, not literally, more like an egg.

687
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 6: Next, the Los Angeles Rams signed a quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo

688
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 6: to back up Matthew Stafford yesterday, second most handsome man

689
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 6: in LA Now, Jonas, do you care?

690
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 2: Listen? Well, who's first?

691
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 6: Bryan Finley?

692
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: Oh? Good point? No, I mean great point. That's why

693
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 2: he does radio. Here's here's the thing. I just want

694
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo and if shown vey look Sean mcvay's good

695
00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 2: buddies with Kyle Shanahan. I just want to see Jimmy

696
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: Garoppolo play the Niners. That's all. Like that did not

697
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: end well. I think there's bad blood there. I think

698
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: there's some resentment from Jimmy Garoppolo, and I think there's

699
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: some resentment from the forty nine ers, especially with the

700
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: way he handled the year before he left, where they

701
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: had a trade on the table and he's like, you

702
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: know what, I think I Am going to get surgery

703
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: and it kind of wiped that all out. I just

704
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: want to see Jimmy g My guy, Jimmy Garoppolo play

705
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers once in a game that matters.

706
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,160

709
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 6: a lot of Bears fans out there.

710
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: Jonas, do you care? Not? Really like this is like

711
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: the idea that people look at this goal man, there's

712
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 2: really a question, Like, dude, it's over Like they're taking

Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. I know people want to get caught up

714
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: in this and all the rumors and the waiting game.

715
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: It's just like all he's doing is pointing out the obvious.

716
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: They're taking Caleb Williams.

717
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,640

Speaker 6: do you care why he chose.

721

Speaker 2: The new number. Why do you think he chose to

722
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: because that's.

723
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 6: The number of routes he can run toasted.

724
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 2: Listen in the words of the great Jim Lampley hard

725
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: right hand by Benson, No, I don't care about this.

726
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: Change whatever number you want to change it to, that's fine.

727
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,320

740
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 6: a bit of a ruckus on social media when she

741
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 6: commented on Aaron Donald's retirement post, saying something along the

742
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,360

Speaker 2: tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.

777
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: So I was looking around at just sort of the aftermath,

778
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: like kind of what's left over because the dust is settling,

779
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 2: and I'm looking around at what's happening with the Kirk

780
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: Cousins move to the Atlanta Falcons, And there's been a

781
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 2: couple of things that have happened. Number One, to me,

782
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons are the favorite to win that division.

783
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: Like in my mind, I look at that and I go, dude,

784
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: I love what Tampa did last year. I love Baker Mayfield.

785
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: I love that story. I love the fact that Mike

786
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 2: Evans is back. Mike Evans is one of my favorite

787
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: players in the NFL. Like you just know what you

788
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: get every single year from him. It's no diva, all production,

789
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: the Todd Bowles relationship with Baker Mayfield, Baker Mayfield being

790
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: so thankful for the opportunity, Like I love all that stuff,

791
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: but I look at it and I go, I just

792
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 2: are they going to be able to do that again?

793
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 2: Last it was such a down year for the division.

794
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: Like you look at Carolina was a disaster. You got

795
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: the owner throwing beers at people like he's firing his

796
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 2: head coach again. New Orleans, nobody knows what the hell

797
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 2: to make in New Orleans. Like the highlight of their

798
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: season was kissing off Arthur Smith. I mean, like Michael Thomas,

799
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: like once the best receiver in the NFL. Now he's

800
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: like fighting with reporters on Twitter. He's beaten up construction

801
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: workers throwing bricks at their windshield when they're trying to

802
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: do work on a street. Like it's just like the

803
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: whole division's kind of a mess. It just was and

804
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons like couldn't figure out the quarterback position,

805
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: and so you're looking around, going all right, so the

806
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons just added Kirk Cousins, so they've got the

807
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: best quarterback in the division now. And on top of that,

808
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: you sign Darnell Mooney, who's been as has had real

809
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: flashes of production when he was with the Bears. And

810
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 2: then you go out and you trade Desmond Ritter for

811
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 2: Rondelle Moore, like on top of the fact that you

812
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 2: got Drake London, Jon Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Like I look

813
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 2: at the Falcons that I go, well, yeah, of course,

814
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: like they're the favorite to win the division, like they're are.

815
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: Dds have increased everywhere, So you look at it. You

816
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: go like, if I'm a Falcons fan, I know that

817
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 2: like all the speculation about who the next quarterback was

818
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: going to be and bring Justin Fields home and all that,

819
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: I know that's like fun. But Kirk Cousins is the

820
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: better quarterback right now. Yes, they're the favorite to win

821
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: that division. I think the best move of the offseason

822
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: thus far by anybody in the NFL. And I know

823
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people like to poke fun at Kirk cousins. Like, listen,

824
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 2: and if you're you know, a Vikings fan, you can

825
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 2: complain about the playoff wins and all that stuff and

826
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do. Okay, dude, you got worse,

827
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: all right. So good for the Atlanta Falcons, bad for

828
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. It's also bad for the Chicago Bears

829
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: because Justin Fields is still there and the Bears can

830
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 2: do whatever sort of damage control they want and try

831
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: and say, well, you know, this was kind of you know,

832
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: we're looking around and sniffing around it, potential opportunities. We're

833
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: not quite sure what we're going to do with the draft.

834
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: We're going through our entire evaluation, and it's like, Okay,

835
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: either you're really great at bluffing and by bluffing, I

836
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: mean bluffing everybody else, and you're just gonna keep Justin

837
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: Fields or make a surprise move at the top of

838
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 2: the draft. Either you're really great at bluffing, or you're

839
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 2: really bad at bluffing everybody else and you out bluffed

840
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: yourself because none of it adds up, like none of

841
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: it makes sense. The Atlanta Falcons were the spot for

842
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, like it was the one that made the

843
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: most sense for a team that was looking at him

844
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: as a starter, because now all the other opportunities have

845
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: been taken up. Like I keep thinking of myself, Okay,

846
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 2: well where would it make sense? Like would it makes

847
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: sense to send him over to the Giants? And it's like, well, no,

848
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: the Giants are gonna get aggressive and try and move

849
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: up into the top three or four in the draft

850
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: to try and take a quarterback. Okay, so that doesn't

851
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 2: make sense. And they just traded for Drew Locke. Okay,

852
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 2: well all right, uh well, well who else? Like I'm

853
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 2: looking around going, okay, who else would makes some sense?

854
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: Or what about the Pittsburgh Steelers? Maybe but only as

855
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 2: a backup? All right? Well you know Philly would have

856
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: made some sense as a backup. Yeah, but that's gone

857
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 2: because Nny Pickett's gone. What about Denver? It's like like

858
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 2: all of these places that felt like opportunities have now

859
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 2: dried up, and I'm looking at Atlanta going that was

860
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: the team, Like that was the spot that was the

861
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: deal to make. The Atlanta Falcons were that team that

862
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: made the most sense, and they're gone. And the reason

863
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: they're gone is because of Kirk Cousins. So if you

864
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: think about it. The guy who people look at is

865
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: kind of nerdy, make fun of, you know, his OCD

866
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 2: and his approach to things, like he apparently he shops

867
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: at Cole's a lot, like he loves raisin canes, like

868
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 2: that's like his go to dun't party. Family man. Good

869
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: guy like that guy kind of lurking. And I made

870
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 2: the point last week. He's kind of like verbal kint

871
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: to where you see him and he's so unassuming and

872
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: you're not really thinking much of it, and then all

873
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: of a sudden, his walk straightens out. He throws a

874
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: lung dart in and he drives away and they realize,

875
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: oh my god, we've been had. He turns into Kaiser

876
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: Soose like that innocent look, the guy who everybody poked

877
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: fun at all these years. He is a contract killer

878
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 2: and a division destroyer because with one move he hurt

879
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 2: the Vikings and he hurt the Bears a nice kiss

880
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 2: my ass on the way out of the NFC North

881
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: to go over to Atlanta, like he literally destroyed half

882
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: the division. It's just like you could argue it however

883
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 2: you want to argue it, like the proof is there,

884
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 2: Like Chicago had something like they were going to get

885
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 2: something in a return from Atlanta. Not now Minnesota had

886
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: an opportunity to win the division. Not now all that's

887
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 2: gone because of Kirk Cousins, the contract killer and the

888
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: division destroyer of the NFL. Jonas Knoxier on Fox Sports Radio.

889
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: We also talked last hour about Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen

890
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: is now a member of the Chicago Bear. Speaking of Chicago,

891
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 2: he is gone from LA in exchange for a fourth

892
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 2: round pick. And so you look at the Keenan Allen

893
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: move and Keenan Allen's reasoning behind it, and the point

894
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 2: I was making last hour was like, look, I mean

895
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 2: sometimes things are pretty simple, like we try and make

896
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 2: them more in our heads, but they're not always all

897
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 2: that difficult. And so one of those things was Keenan

898
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: Allen's decision to move on from the Chargers, even though

899
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: he got traded, like he had an opportunity to stay.

900
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 2: They offered him to take a pay cut, and Keenan

901
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: Allen said earlier today, like, look, I'm not taking a

902
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 2: pay cut. I just came off my best season. They're like, well,

903
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: was it emotional for you to leave the place that

904
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 2: you've been at for so long, and his point was

905
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 2: not really they made it pretty easy, but it's pretty simple.

906
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: I'm not taking a pay cut. Cool. I'm in Chicago now,

907
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: so oh okay. Like sometimes you would think it would

908
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: be that much more difficult, or sometimes we make things

909
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: to be so much more in our head when the

910
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: answer is pretty simple. And it just reminded me of

911
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 2: a funny little back and forth that took place. This

912
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 2: could have been the Oscars. I don't know. I saw

913
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: this clip. I didn't watch the show live because the

914
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 2: Oscars is awful, but I remember seeing this and it

915
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 2: reminded me of Keenan Allen's sort of nonchalant approach to

916
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: the decision that he made. Here was Matthew McConaughey telling

917
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 2: a story about Woody Harrelson on stage together. Woody, you

918
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: know you always seem to keep it pretty pretty cool.

919
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: What do you do when you got a problem or

920
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: a conflict that comes up in your life?

921
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: Being my good friend? He thinks about it for a minute.

922
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: He lowers his head for about fifteen or twenty seconds,

923
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: and he looks back up to me and looks right

924
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: in my eyes, deep into my soul, and he says,

925
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: I just forget about it.

926
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: That's true. It's incredible how you do that. It works,

927
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: It really does work. I went off of that to

928
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 2: all of you. Let's just do that easy. Keenan Allen's like,

929
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: you know what, no, not taking a pay cut? Yeah,

930
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: I know. We had a great run. It's been a

931
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: lot of fun here. Just not going to do that,

932
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 2: all right, have fun at Chicago and we're off and running.

933
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: Like that's the way that sometimes you just make things

934
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 2: out to be way more than they actually are when

935
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 2: there's a simple answer to all of it. I either

936
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 2: just forget about it or no, not doing that, and

937
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: then the decision is made for you at the Jonas

938
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: Knocks on Twitter. That is at the Jonas Knocks on Twitter,

Speaker 2: f bleep. By the way, I know Clay Travis good dude.

947
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: Col rights in, mister irrelevant of Fox Sports Radio, continue

948
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: to talk sports he knows nothing about and admitting his

949
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 2: man crush Brian Finley is an abomination to sports fans

950
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: listening to FSR. Go home, put on your Jim Harbaugh

951
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: Reno nine one one khakis on, and throw yourself in

952
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 2: the swamp at sofar, Troy writes in, all Jonas wants

953
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 2: to do now is get more Aaron Donald shirtless picks

954
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: of your beefcake of Donna's to empty your bleep man

955
00:51:53,600 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: bleep all over you bleep bleep. Greg rights in, nothing

956
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: would be more entertaining than Iron Mike using this bleep

957
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: and bleep Jonas's skull as a hit bag until he

958
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 2: puts your bleep ass and a body bag. Admiral writes in, okay,

959
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 2: so instead of talking about anything going on in the NBA,

960
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: the injuries, the young talent, the playoffs and seating d

961
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 2: Lo and Darvin Ham, the nineties era debate, you can't

962
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: talk about any of that. Instead, Jonas would rather talk

963
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: about cousins for like twenty minutes. Lol, clown, what a waste.

964
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 5: Like.

965
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 2: We want to make sure that we please everybody here.

966
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 2: Coming up at two o'clock. It'll be the Calves at

967
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 2: the Rockets. It's two o'clock Pacific time at the Jonas

968
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 2: Knox on x or Twitter is where you can find

969
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: all the unedited versions of all of those that I

970
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 2: could not read completely on the air because I don't

971
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: want to lose my job. Coming up next here though,

972
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 2: from the tirect dot com studios. There are people that

973
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 2: are complaining in the NFL. And if you're one of

974
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 2: these people complaining about this in the NFL, you are

975
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: a loser. The proof is next here on Fox Sports Radio,

976
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio coming up in a little

977
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: over ten minutes from now. You know, somebody made a

978
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 2: great point about a problem that is currently going on

979
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: in the world of sports. I mean, it is an issue.

980
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of people complaining about that problem,

981
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: but I feel like it's almost too late at this point.

982
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 2: We will get into that for you again a little

983
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 2: over ten minutes from now here from the Tiraq dot

984
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: com studios. So this is what I find funny. When

985
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: you don't want something and you decide that you don't

986
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: want it, and when that thing that you don't want

987
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 2: find somebody that does and then you get mad at

988
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 2: that thing and the other people for getting together. And

989
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 2: this doesn't have to be a person. This could be

990
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 2: a possession. This could be like could you imagine donating

991
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: some clothing to the Goodwill and then two weeks later

992
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 2: you see somebody wear that old bud Light T shirt

993
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: you had, and you're like, hell, you think you're doing?

994
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 2: What do you mean that was my bud Light T shirt?

995
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 2: I just it was a Goodwill I don't know. I

996
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: thought it was vintage. I don't know. It look pretty cool, yeah,

997
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: but that was mine. Well apparently it's not anymore. Like

998
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 2: why does Goodwill have it?

999
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 4: Well?

1000
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 2: Because I donated it? I mean, so what, like you

1001
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 2: own this for life? Like the logic behind that I

1002
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: don't understand. And that's the same logic that some NFL

1003
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 2: fans use when players leave their team to go somewhere else.

1004
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 2: If a player told you your franchise screw you, I'm

1005
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: going elsewhere, I would get it, kind of like when

1006
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 2: there's a bad ending, bad blood, I'm out, and just

1007
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 2: to be vindictive, I'm going to go ahead and sign elsewhere.

1008
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 2: Like that, I can kind of understand why you would

1009
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 2: take offense to that, why you would be insulted by that.

1010
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: But if your team decided they didn't want that, and

1011
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 2: that player went to someplace that did and it just

1012
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 2: happens to be either in the division or a rival

1013
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 2: of your team, what's the problem. Like when I hear

1014
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: people complaining about, like, oh my god, Saquon Barkley left

1015
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 2: the Giants to go to the Eagles, how could you?

1016
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 2: What do you mean? He wanted to stay, He wanted

1017
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 2: to stay. He did everything the right way in New York.

1018
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: And you talk about the injuries and all that. All

1019
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 2: that's fair, All of that is fair. But he did

1020
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 2: everything the right way, wanted to stay, tried to stay,

1021
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: gave them opportunity after opportunity to make it work. Wanted

1022
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 2: a long term deal done last year. He didn't hold out,

1023
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 2: showed back up, didn't miss a practice, was there, wanted

1024
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 2: to be there, wanted to try and have some dialogue

1025
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: this offseason, and the Giants had none of it. And

1026
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 2: so Philly steps up and offers him a deal, and

1027
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 2: it's a good deal and he takes it and it's like, huh,

1028
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 2: how could you? It's a what do he what is

1029
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 2: he supposed to do? Like Vikings fans, you know, burying

1030
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 2: Kirkcutt like people talking about like and the other part

1031
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 2: of this is the tampering. Ooh, it's tampering, Like what

1032
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: do you what do you mean? You didn't want it,

1033
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 2: so what does it matter? Yeah, but you still gotta

1034
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 2: wait your turn. It's like, what are you talking about?

1035
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 2: You didn't want it, like you were getting rid of it.

1036
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: It's like getting pissed at your roommate because they eat,

1037
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 2: you know, the leftover pizza from the night before that

1038
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: you were gonna throw away. You were literally coming downstairs

1039
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 2: to throw the food away. You see that they ate it,

1040
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 2: and then you're pissed at them for doing that. It's

1041
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 2: like like I don't understand, Like what's the difference, Like

1042
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 2: they actually put it to use, Like just because you

1043
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: rooted for these players or just because these players were

1044
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 2: under contract, that's not any lifetime contract. It's a lifetime sentence.

1045
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 2: Like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's mine. It's

1046
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 2: either mine or it's the trash. Like that donation is

1047
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 2: just for the place I donated to, not for anybody

1048
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: else to buy, Like what where's the logic in that?

1049
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: And like when I hear people complain about tampering, like

1050
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 2: you know, Giants fans, and the Giants had thrown that out,

1051
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: like who there was tampering involved? Like when I hear

1052
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 2: Vikings fans complain about all, like you know, was there

1053
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 2: tampering going on? Where the Falcons tampering? I mean, let's

1054
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 2: say Kirk Cousins basically admitted it. He said Kyle Pitts

1055
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: had reached out to the to try and get Kirk

1056
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 2: Cousins to go to to Atlanta, you know, weeks in advance.

1057
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 2: But there's tampering all the time. Like the idea that

1058
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,959
Speaker 2: that's some sort of an indictment of all it's a poor,

1059
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 2: poor way to do business. Like, dude, do you think

1060
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 2: let me just go ahead spoiler alert? All right? You know,

1061
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 2: if you guys part ways and you know, she ends

1062
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 2: up with somebody like forty eight hours later, I got

1063
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: news for you. Chances are they didn't meet within that

1064
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 2: forty eight hours. Okay, them's the breaks. Like you can

1065
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: hold a grudge or not. The fact of the matter

1066
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 2: is it was ending. You were going to go your

1067
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 2: separate ways, and this is the result. But this idea

1068
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: of getting upset and complaining about tampering and players leaving

1069
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 2: is it's just ridiculous, Like grow up, all right, just

1070
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: move on with your life. You're already planning on doing

Speaker 2: college Fans Stay. I also want to make this point

1078
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: because we've been talking about what the plan is going

1079
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: to be at the top of the draft, and you know,

1080
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: the Bears are still they still have Justin Fields. He's

1081
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 2: still a member of the team. You got people wondering,

1082
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 2: is this sort of an indication that maybe they're not

1083
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 2: going to take Caleb Williams And should they keep Caleb

1084
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 2: Williams and or should they keep Justin Fields and not

1085
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 2: draft Caleb Williams. And it's like, let me just let

1086
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: me just say this, like this is really easy, like

1087
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: if you just follow along with how this is going.

1088
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: The Bears have been doing their research on Caleb Williams

1089
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. Albert Breer

1090
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 2: laid this out in Sports Illustrated when he talked about

1091
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: at the MMQB when he made the point like, look

1092
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 2: like the Bears have been doing their due diligence. Like

1093
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 2: part of their interview with Cliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator

1094
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: was to get intel on Caleb Williams. They've told everybody

1095
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,479
Speaker 2: with their scouting department and people within the organization, they've

1096
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: told them all, hey, if you're talking with a player

1097
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 2: that you really like or taught, having conversations or any

1098
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 2: sort of dialogue with anybody who happened to spend time

1099
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma or at USC with Caleb Williams, get us

1100
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 2: some more information. Like they have done their due diligence,

1101
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 2: and they've done their research on Caleb Williams, and they've

1102
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 2: been doing it for weeks. And the reason they're doing

1103
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 2: that is because they're probably gonna end up taking him.

1104
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 2: And for the people that are like saying, well, you know,

1105
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 2: you should build around justin fields, like just follow the

1106
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: path that Ryan Poles took to get to this point.

1107
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 2: Do you know what organization Ryan Poles was with the

1108
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 2: GM of the Bears before he got hired by the Bears.

1109
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 2: He was with the Kansas City Chiefs. You know, want

1110
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of the moves that the Kansas City Chiefs made that

1111
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people looked at and said, ooh, what

1112
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 2: are you doing here? They decided to trade away Alex

1113
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Smith and turn the franchise over to Patrick Mahomes because

1114
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 2: of the upside the contract things like that. Now, I'm

1115
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: not saying that Caleb Williams is going to be the

1116
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 2: next Patrick Mahomes. And I'm not even saying that Justin

1117
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 2: Fields has done what Alex Smith did in his career,

1118
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 2: because he hasn't thus far. But there is some symmetry

1119
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 2: here in the sense that if you didn't have this opportunity, yes,

1120
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: you can make the case that you move forward with

1121
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 2: Justin Fields because he has shown upside and players love him,

1122
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 2: and he's a great dude, and you would want like

1123
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 2: you want him your organization. That guy will be in

1124
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 2: the NFL for as long as he wants, either as

1125
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 2: a backup consultant, whatever, because he's got a great reputation

1126
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: and people love the guy. But the reality is, you

1127
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 2: do have an opportunity to take what some people are

1128
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 2: calling a generational talent. So this conversation is a conversation

1129
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: because of that. If the Bears were just picking at nine,

1130
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 2: you're not even discussing it. In fact, if the Bears

1131
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 2: are just picking at nine, the conversation is, are they

1132
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 2: moving up in the draft to take a Marvin Harrison.

1133
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 2: Are the Bears staying put at nine and taking a

1134
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: Roma Dunza or a Maligue Navy Like. There's all sorts

1135
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 2: of potential to build around him. Yes, and they just

1136
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 2: signed Keenan or just acquired Keenan Allen. But the reality

1137
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 2: is you do have this on your table and on

1138
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 2: your plate. The Kansas City Chiefs, had they not had

1139
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, they would have been more than happy to

1140
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: move forward with Alex Smith. Like guy I went to

1141
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 2: Pro Bowls in Kansas City. He was good. Like he

1142
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 2: helped turn around the franchise when Andy Reid got there

1143
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: and took it over. He was good. But the reality

1144
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 2: is you do have the number one pick, and you

1145
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 2: did have Patrick Mahomes, Which is why this is becoming

1146
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 2: a conversation and which is why this is going to

1147
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 2: head down that road. It's not so much a slight

1148
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 2: on justin Fields as it is a no of the

1149
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 2: cap to the opportunity you have at a generational talented quarterback.

1150
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 2: That's all this is so like people getting worked up

1151
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 2: and offended And how could you do this to Justin

1152
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 2: Fields as you build around him. Well, if they didn't

1153
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 2: have the number one pick, they wouldn't you want to

1154
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 2: blame somebody Blame the Panthers because they suck so bad

1155
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 2: last year. Like, if you're Justin Fields fan, blame Carolina.

1156
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 2: None of this would be a conversation if they would

1157
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 2: have been a bag of crap. But they are and

1158
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 2: they were, and this is why the Bears are sitting

1159
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: with the number one pick and the ninth pick overall.

1160
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,120

1172

1173
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: heat on social media earlier. Did you happen to hear

1174

Speaker 3: for it, Jonas, and I could not find it.

1177
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,480

1180
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 2: continue to talk about sports he knows nothing about and

1181
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 2: admiring his man crush Brian Finley is an abomination to

1182
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: sports fans listening to FSR. Go home, put on your

1183

1184
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 2: into the swamp. It so far. So how do you

1185
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 2: react to that, Jonas? Do you take it personally? Now

1186
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:07,439
Speaker 2: you retweet it? So still listen. I tried to tell people,

1187
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 2: if you are sensitive or you get offended easily, this

1188
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 2: is not the two hour show for you, like, you

1189
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 2: should steer clear of this because it is a problem

1190
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 2: for you if any of those apply to you. By

1191
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 2: the way, did we just have a developing situation in

1192
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 2: the Big Ten tournament.

1193
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 3: There, Brian, we did, Jonas, Wisconsin in overtime knocks out

1194
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 3: the number one team in the nation perdue seventy six

1195
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 3: to seventy five. Wisconsin happened or the number one team,

1196
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 3: excuse me in the Big Ten conference. And so Wisconsin

1197
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 3: is on to the final who they will play, Well,

1198
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 3: we're still waiting to hear because that one hasn't started

1199
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 3: yet because this one is in a bit of a

1200
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 3: delay because of overtime. Illinois and Nebraska are set to

1201
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 3: face off on that other semifinal, So that is what's

1202
01:05:55,400 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 3: going on. Meanwhile, Jonas Howard is the next team to

1203
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 3: make the NCAA tournament. Here's how the final call sounded

01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 2: real hush hush when you're out there.

1224

01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 3: I do these events, these challenger events. They put you

1226
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 3: right on the court. And obviously in tennis, it's one

1227
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 3: of the only sports, if not the only, sport, where

1228
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 3: the listeners, the viewers, they don't want you to talk

1229
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 3: when the action is going on. Think about it, any

1230
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 3: other sport that you listen to a broadcast where they

1231
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 3: want you to shut up when the action is playing out.

1232
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 3: So you have to be very careful with what you

1233
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 3: say in between points. You remember a guy named Tennis Sangrin.

1234
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 3: You know, he went to a couple of Australian Open quarterfinals, had.

1235
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,479
Speaker 2: Seven match no And you want to know why, because

1236
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 2: I have a life, Okay, I don't. Yeah that man anyway.

1237
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 3: Anyway, So I went a whole tournament all week called

1238
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 3: like twenty tennis matches, and the one guy that complained

1239
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 3: about me is the guy who is the biggest heel

1240
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 3: on social media in the words of in the world

1241
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 3: of tennis, and that is Tennis Sandgrin And it's Yeah.

1242
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 3: So I like to be my distance, keep my distance

1243
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 3: because I don't want to be blamed. And especially when

1244
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 3: a player is losing and they can hear you, they're

1245
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 3: gonna go to the chair empire and they're gonna whine

1246
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 3: and they're gonna moan, and then you're gonna get that energy.

1247
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's not something that you want to be around, yeah,

1248
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 2: because it's your fault that they're losing, exactly right, Okay, Yeah,

1249
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 2: what a bunch of douchebags. Yeah that is like that,

1250
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 2: that part like that, I can't like, you're the fall guy.

1251
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 2: I got to take it out on somebody. If I

1252
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 2: break my racket, my sponsor won't send me two more.

1253
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 2: So I got to go ahead and complain about Brian

1254
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 2: Finley doing the call of the match. Yeah, break, give

1255
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 2: me a break. Yeah you know I got your back. Fendly,

Speaker 2: thank you. Next time that happens, well, i'll tell you

1257
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,559

01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 2: tell you. I'll tell you what to go. Tell them, okay, bastards. Yeah,

1259
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 2: I look forward to that.

1260
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm surprised you you haven't done one

1261
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 3: of those ask Jonas segments. I know that you started those,

1262
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 3: and I think Ben Mallard does one like every other week.

1263
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Now.

1264
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 2: I saw you try and lure me into that I took.

1265
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 2: I did not take the bait on social media. I

1266
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 2: would not partake in that. You know how I feel

1267
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 2: about that stuff. You will never ever ever find me

1268
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 2: at a point in time, at any point in time,

1269
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 2: go to social media and say, hey, I got twenty

Speaker 3: I come on, Jonahs, you're saying that you're you're not

1282
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 3: getting a high off the extra validation that comes with

1283
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 3: putting out a proclamation on social media that you have

1284
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 3: twenty minutes of your own precious time to listen to

1285
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 3: other people ask you questions about yourself.

1286
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 2: No, I definitely not. Yeah, that doesn't do anything for me.

1287
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 2: You want to know my problems are? Last night, I'm

1288
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 2: trying to sleep in the middle of a sleep. It's

1289
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 2: like one of the rare nights I get more than

1290
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 2: two hours sleep, and I was woken up because my son,

1291
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 2: who who was sleeping in the bed with me in

1292
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 2: his sleep, backhanded me in the eye socket. Okay, so

1293
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 2: now I've got to figure out whether or not I

1294
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 2: got to walk around with a black eye the rest

1295
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 2: of the week because my son decided he was gonna

1296
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 2: like have some some nightmare in it about a monster truck,

1297
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 2: while he was asleep, and now I got to wear

1298
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 2: the scar because of it, right, So that's my problem.

1299
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: So no, I don't have time to worry about whether

1300
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 2: or not people like me on Twitter.

1301
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that that happened to you because you're wearing

1302
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 3: what looks like to be a fighter pilot mass because

1303
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 3: of the seapap machine value US, so that would have

1304
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 3: blocked the haymaker that you took from your son. So

1305
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 3: I guess get back to using the seapap.

1306
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 2: You know, my sleep apnea is my problem in that yours, Finley,

1307
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 2: So why don't you mind your own sleep apnea? Thank you?

1308
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 2: There he is Brian Finley, a man who pisses off

1309
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 2: people in tennis, apparently. Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio.

1310
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 2: By the way, we are going to have another edition

1311
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: of the Scraps coming up here in about well less

1312
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 2: than ten minutes from now because a Hall of Famer

1313
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 2: made a comment that just makes no sense, no sense whatsoever.

1314
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 2: We'll explain why that is coming up here again ten

1315
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 2: minutes from now on FSR. I did want to point

1316
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 2: this out because I thought it was pretty interesting. So

1317
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 2: I was listening to the call. Tim Brando and Jim

1318
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 2: Jackson were on the call for the I believe it

1319
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 2: was Seaton Hall Saint John's game. I think they were

1320
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 2: playing Seaton Hall. I think it was might have been Thursday.

1321
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 2: I think it was Thursday. So I'm watching it because

1322
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 2: I've been fascinated by Saint John's response after Rick Patino

1323
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 2: buried him in a press conference talking about how on

1324
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 2: athletic they were and so on and so forth, and

1325
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: everybody criticized Rick Patino and complained about him because he

1326
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 2: was being mean to his players. And all they did

1327
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 2: after that was win every game since except for they

1328
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: lost to Yukon. But it was a competitive game last

1329
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 2: night and so or yesterday. And so I'm watching the

1330
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 2: game and I'm hearing Tim Brando and Jim Jackson talk

1331
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 2: about Rick Patino at Saint John's. And by the way,

1332
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 2: let me just say this, Jim Jackson is the most

1333
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 2: underrated broadcaster in sports. He is fantastic. Now never mind

1334
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 2: the fact he used to do show Fox Sports Radio

1335
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 2: and I like the guy personally, but he's outstanding. So

1336
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 2: anytime he's on a call, I try and listen. And

1337
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 2: so I'm listening to Tim Brando, who was also fantastic,

1338
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,719
Speaker 2: And they were making the point that like Rick Patino,

1339
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 2: like early on in the year he was struggled, like

1340
01:12:58,280 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 2: part of the struggle was he was having this set

1341
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 2: up dinners to try and get the nil going and

1342
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 2: all the other things to come along. And it's like,

1343
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 2: you just kind of put that into perspective that part

1344
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 2: of your job early in a season, when you should

1345
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 2: be focusing on just coaching the players that you recruited,

1346
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 2: is to try and figure out ways that you can

1347
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 2: offer more money so that either the players you already

1348
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 2: recruited don't leave, or that players who are thinking about

1349
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 2: going to your program are enticed enough by the money

1350
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 2: that you're able to bring in. It's like and people

1351
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 2: were wondering, God, how do we fix this. I don't

1352
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 2: think you can, like toothpastes out of the tube. It's over.

1353
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 2: I had a guy tell me one time, he said,

1354
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 2: have you ever smoked a cigarette before? And I said no.

1355
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 2: This guy was a smoker. He always had a long

1356
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 2: dart in always and he's like, if you, uh, you know,

1357
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 2: you ever smoked a cigarette before? I was like no,

1358
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 2: And to this day, I've never smoked a cigarette, never

1359
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 2: taken a pain pill, never smoked weed. Never, It just

1360
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 2: never never been my thing, never done drugs. Just it's

1361
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 2: not my thing, like not not criticizing it whatever, like

1362
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 2: I've seen people do it. That's fine, Like we'll do

1363
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 2: what you gotta do. But I remember saying to me,

1364
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 2: so you've never smoked a cigarette. I was like, no,

1365
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 2: he's all, don't start. I was like, why it's all

1366
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 2: because you probably won't be able to stop. It's that addicting,

1367
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 2: like once you go down that road, you're never looking back,

1368
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 2: so it's not even worth going down that road. You're

1369
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 2: not missing anything. And like his thought was like if

1370
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 2: you if you can just even open up that gateway,

1371
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 2: like it just leads to you doing it for and

1372
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 2: it could be it could be bad. And so when

1373
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 2: people are talking like how do you fix the nil

1374
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 2: issue and play? All these players want is money money,

1375
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,600
Speaker 2: But it's like I don't think you can because you

1376
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 2: opened it up, like you now started paying them money

1377
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 2: and out spending other schools for their for their commitment,

1378
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 2: and now you're trying to figure out how you get

1379
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: all that back. Oh let's no, no, you should be

1380
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 2: you should rethink this whole thing. It's like I think

1381
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 2: you opened this up and now it's too late, and

1382
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a problem.

1383
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: Now.

1384
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 2: Now what the final conclusion or ruling is on all

1385
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 2: this stuff, I have no idea, But like when you

1386
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 2: factor in that, now coaches have to take time out

1387
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 2: of their coaching to not just recruit, which has always

1388
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 2: been there, but to recruit and try and get money

1389
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 2: for the program so that they can give that money

1390
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 2: to players that they already gave money too, just to

1391
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 2: try and keep them around. Oh and by the way,

1392
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 2: use the same money to try and get other players

1393
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 2: to come to you, because if not, they'll go to

1394
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 2: the other place it has more money than you do. Like,

1395
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 2: the thought of that is wild, and the solution for it,

1396
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't think is coming anytime soon, and I don't

1397
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 2: think it's ever going back to the way it was.

1398
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,639

1402
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer said something that just doesn't make

1403
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 2: a whole lot of sense. Right here on FSR, Jonas

1421

Speaker 2: it's time for this.

1422
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: How could you not get to these stories?

1423
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 2: Are there? Scraps?

1424
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: All? Right?

1425
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 2: Bo Benson? What the hell do we miss so far?

1426
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 2: Really quick?

1427
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 6: I just want to shout out all the running backs

1428
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 6: getting paid an NFL free agency Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry

1429
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 6: not supposed to do that apparently, but good for them

1430
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 6: for getting their money.

1431
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 2: Finally, well, you know, Brady Quinn at a conspiracy theory

1432
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 2: on this now. It is kind of odd that the

1433
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 2: off season, after everybody complained about the treatment of running

1434
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 2: backs and now all of a sudden are getting rewarded

1435
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 2: for all these deals and the more like he started

1436
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 2: going in depth with it. I'm like, you know what,

1437
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 2: I'm all in. It's been a while since I've totally

1438
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 2: bought into a conspiracy theory. I think I'm all in

1439
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 2: on that.

1440
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 6: Thank you, Thank you, Taylor Swift for that Catspace. The

1441
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 6: Hall of Famer you were speaking of, of course, was

1442
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 6: the great Charles Barkley, who I believe on NBA and

1443
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 6: T and T. He offered up his thoughts on what

1444
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 6: should have happened with Rudy Gobert.

1445
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 5: I thought he should have got suspended. Yeah you're going

1446
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 5: too far now, No, no, no, no, too far, stopping shack.

1447
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something. The one thing we could

1448
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:09,640
Speaker 5: never do in sports ever, is make people think that

1449
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 5: the game is not it's not fixed. That if we

1450
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 5: ever get to the point, any sport if they found

1451
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 5: out it would run a sport, it would ruin a sport.

1452
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 5: And people thought it was fixed and they found Luka doncik.

1453
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 5: They had found Rudy Gobert before. I thought they should

1454
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 5: have suspended him.

1455
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 2: He does know the name Tim donaghy, right, Like he

1456
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 2: knows that, like he's aware, Like I get it. But

1457
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,879
Speaker 2: there's a big difference between Rudy Gobert doing a money

1458
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 2: symbol and an official actually dictating the outcome of a

1459
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 2: game and getting in trouble for it. Like there's a

1460
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 2: huge difference, like Rudy Gobert making the money. This is

1461
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 2: like when people complain about doing horns down to Texas

1462
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 2: players like, ooh, well, well, what are you so upset

1463
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 2: about they did a horns down to me? Woo, You're

1464
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 2: gonna be all right. I mean, I hope everything's okay.

1465
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, dude, he did a money symbol

1466
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars and that's not enough I did.

1467
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 2: Like I love Charles Barkley. I totally disagree. What else

1468
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 2: we got though.

1469
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, tomorrow is one of the nation's great holidays, Saint

1470
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 6: Patrick's Day. Yeah, LeVar Ingent was disappointed in me because

1471
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 6: I don't really have any Saint Patrick's Day stories because

1472
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 6: I don't go out on Saint Patrick's Day. I'm more

1473
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 6: of an Octoberfest person. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, I'll

1474
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 6: share with you guys. Now, I didn't get a chance

1475
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 6: to my first Octoberfest. Isn't a legal drinking age adult.

1476
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 6: I did the other thing you do to relax.

1477
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well I call that the left handed cigarette. Yeah.

1478
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 2: I did that.

1479
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 7: I did.

1480
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 6: I did that at Oktoberfest in public and ran into

1481
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 6: who else but my parents?

1482
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: Nice.

1483
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if there's if there's one way to

1484
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 2: let your parents know that you're a pothead, that would

1485
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 2: be the way.

1486
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say. So that's my that's my story

1487
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 6: of hijinks.

1488
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Listen, have some beers. I don't recommend dying the beer green.

1489
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 2: That's a pain in the he asked for the bar back.

1490
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 2: I was one of those that's having to clean those glasses.

1491
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 2: But you got to get yourself some cottage pie. It's

1492
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,919
Speaker 2: different than Shepherd's pie because it's got ground beef. Cottage

1493
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 2: pie is good. You gotta get some corned beef and

1494
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 2: cabbage and just enjoy the hell out of it, don't

1495
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 2: be a moron and drive afterwards. Do the right thing.

1496
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 2: It's been a fun show thanks to Bo Chris and

1497
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 2: thanks to Brian Finley and Bree's pissed off at me.

1498
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 2: Alex and Carmen are next year on FSR.
