17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: this about bowl season in college football. It has pinpointed

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: and identified and highlighted the most difficult job in all

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: of sports. Right now, because if you're gambling on these

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: bowl games, godspeed, good, Holy Moley, what the hell are

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: we getting from these teams in each bowl game. The

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Missouri Ohio State game last night was Hey, let me

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: tell you something. Anybody that was betting on that game,

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: good luck staying sober. What the f was that man?

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: And you look around college football and good luck trying

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: to predict either who's playing, who's opting out, who's motivated,

27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: who wants to like It is a cornacopeia of confusion

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: when it comes to college football, and I get it,

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: and we can have the whole conversation, Well, you know,

30
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: it's the transfer portal, it's nil, it's all these other

31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: things that come along with it. Yeah, look, bowlseason has

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: changed a little bit. We all acknowledge that players are

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden realizing the power they have.

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: They realize how much they're worth, how important they are,

35
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: and so they're using their futures to determine whether or

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: not they're going to partake in some of these games.

37
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: But you kind of the bull season and the way

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: college football and the way these bowl games have gone,

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: you really got to use nuance and context when you

40
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: talk about them, because we can be critical and do

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the whole well, what did this conference do in a

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: bowl game? This conference was this in bull season. That dude,

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: those days are dead. It's over because you don't know

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: who the hell wants to be a part of these

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: things anymore. And I'm watching last night going, man, there's

46
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: somebody somewhere who's their livelihood depends on what is happening

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: in this game between Missouri and Ohio State. Penn State

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: was favored into this game against Ole miss Ole miss

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: is leading at halftime. It's like, and we're not even

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: at the big game yet. I'll be totally forthright with you.

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea which way to go with Alabama Michigan.

52
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm pissed off. It's not the national championship game. But

53
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea which way to go on that game,

54
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: no clue whatsoever. And I'm thinking to myself, how difficult

55
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: of a job must it be. There was that show

56
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Dirty Jobs with Mike Row where he would like, do

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: all these dirty jobs, And look, I've had awful jobs before.

58
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: I've chronicled them on this show before many times here

59
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. Like Look, I mean, you want

60
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: to know a difficult job or an unappetizing job, try

61
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: being the maintenance guy at Toys r US. Not fun

62
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: because you know what you're doing. When you're the maintenance guy,

63
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: you're not really fixing anything. You're just cleaning things. It's

64
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: a fancy word for custodian. And so when you're cleaning

65
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: up bathrooms and you're cleaning up diaper trays and dispensers

66
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: that women put things in when they're going through some stuff.

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: And if you're you know, a man, maybe you miss

68
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: and your aim is off one day. Who do you

69
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: think is cleaning all that? I was cleaning all that brutal?

70
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: All right, try cleaning and being a janitor at an

71
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: elementary school when you're thirteen fourteen years old. Because they

72
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: offered the position, it was like, oh, I can make

73
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: some money. My parents aren't giving me an allowance ever,

74
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: so okay, I'll just go get a job, no problem.

75
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: Want to help us clean the kindergarten classrooms during summertime, Yeah,

76
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. You know, mid July southern California heat,

77
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: go steam clean the carpet in a kindergarten room and

78
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: ask yourself, what does that smell like? Where every nap

79
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: time somebody just thinks stare at home and they're like, ah,

80
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get to the bathroom anyway, screw it.

81
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: So I've had difficult jobs, none of them compare to

82
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: what these gamblers are going through right now in Bowl season.

83
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: None of them. Good luck, man, Good luck trying to

84
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: figure out why Syracuse should be favored against South Florida

85
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: and they get wiped out five thousand to nothing. Good luck,

86
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: good luck with all that. So while you're sitting here

87
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: either enjoying or critiquing or complaining about bull season, that's fine.

88
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Take your complaints elsewhere, because the fact of the matter is,

89
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: nobody's got it worse right now than anybody trying to

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: make a buck betting on these Bowl games, because you

91
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: have no clue what the hell you're getting from game

92
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: to game. Jonas Knox here, Fox Sports Radio, give me

93
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter at the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knocks

94
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: on Twitter. All right, you ever dated somebody with baggage?

95
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Like you know that initially? Right. It's not like this

96
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: is something that youually pops up a year later, two

97
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: years later, three years down the road. It's like, oh,

98
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: by the way, listen, happy fifth anniversary, I have two kids,

99
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: excuse you. Normally this stuff comes up right off the bat.

100
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: So when you date somebody with baggage. That baggage is

101
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: usually going to get heavy, and it's usually going to

102
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: weigh things down at some point in the relationship. Like

103
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: if you meet somebody it's like, well listen, we get

104
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: along great, but you know, just got through a bad breakup,

105
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: you know, has a kid like it just you know,

106
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: but hey, I really like him. Hope it works out

107
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: a year two years later, all of a sudden, I

108
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: can't hang out. I got the kid today, or I

109
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: can't hang out. I'm going to divorce court, or I can't.

110
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: It's like, there'sh you date somebody with baggage. Eventually that

111
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: baggage is going to weigh some things down. Sean Payton

112
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: got into a relationship that had some baggage, all right.

113
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: That baggage was Russell Wilson and that contract. All right,

114
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: that is what is happening here. And eventually, like those

115
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: other relationships, that baggage is going to waste things down

116
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: and it's going to come up and be a topic

117
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: of conversation. And what do you know, We're not even

118
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: at the New Year and it has become a topic

119
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: of conversation. As Russell Wilson gets bench for Jared Stidham

120
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: and Sean Payton is talking about they're looking for a

121
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: spark when everybody knows now it's the injury guarantees. It's

122
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: the contract. Russell Wilson spoke about it yesterday. That's really

123
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: what's happening here. And it just goes back to the

124
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: original issue from the start, when Sean Payton took that job, which,

125
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: by the way, what is the ideal job if not

126
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: for the fact that the charger's job was the one

127
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: that he actually wanted, right, So we're looking at option

128
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: two at best for Sean Payton. He wanted the charger's job,

129
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: but they brought back Brandon Staley. Sean Payton didn't want

130
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: to wait around anymore, and so he decided, do you

131
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: know what, I'll just go take the Denver job. Had

132
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: the charger job been open, he wouldn't have even sniffed

133
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Denver money used him as maybe some leverage. But Sean

134
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: Payton wanted the chargers gig. That's a fact. And so

135
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton takes the job and it's like, okay, there's

136
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: some baggage here. It's a bad contract. Russell Wilson played

137
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: awful last year. It was a disaster. You know, like

138
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: there were signs throughout the whole process when he's asked,

139
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: after he's being introduced, Hey, what about Russell Wilson in

140
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: his own parking space, in his office and all that. Yeah,

141
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: none of that'll be here. Okay, Hey, so you like

142
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: airing out and being frustrated over what happened last year

143
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: and Nathaniel Hacken and I was like, well, well, yeah,

144
00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: like that was a sign frustrated by the baggage out

145
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson on the sideline when everybody was up in

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: arms and complaining, well, I mean there's no respect there.

147
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: He's disrespecting Russell Wilson. Well well, yeah, like he's airing

148
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: him out and he's showing frustration because he was frustrated

149
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: by the baggage at the start of this whole thing.

150
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: That's how that works. It's like all of this stuff

151
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: was leading to this point and it was eventually going

152
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: to get here. Sean Payton didn't want to deal with this,

153
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: and more importantly, the Denver Broncos didn't want to deal

154
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson anymore. They realized at some point last year,

155
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: probably during the season, Uh oh, we made a mistake.

156
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Now that's one hundred percent on them and anybody being

157
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: critical of the Broncos and asking Russell to sit down,

158
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: and if you're a fan of the Broncos and you're

159
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: upset and you're frustrated by the handling of all this,

160
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: and if it deters free agents or anybody else from

161
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: wanting to deal with the Broncos, because that's the way

162
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: their front office works, all that stuff is fair, But

163
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: it just goes back to the original issue. From the start,

164
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: there was major baggage there. Sean Payton inherited the problem,

165
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: like he bought used instead of new, and there's some

166
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: stuff that came up, and so now he's the guy

167
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: who's got to feel the brunt of it and he's

168
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: got to wear it. And everybody else is complaining and

169
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: taking shots at Sean Payton and time, but he's got

170
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: to be the fall guy here and he's got to

171
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: be the bug on the windshield because the Broncos made

172
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: some mistakes and made a move last year that they regretted.

173
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: But all of this leads back to Sean Payton. This

174
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: wasn't part of his plan, This wasn't the ideal setup

175
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: for him. He just inherited the problem. He inherited the

176
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: baggage and eventually it was going to get way too

177
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: eavy for everybody involved. And I'll say this, I don't

178
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton's long for that job. I've said it before.

179
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he comes back next year. But I could see

180
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: Sean Peyton looking around at what the way the organization

181
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: has handled things and what he took in when he

182
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: took the job. And I could see Sean Payton saying,

183
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: you know what, screw this. I'm great at TV. I

184
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: had fun working at Fox. I'll be back there and

185
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: I'll go do my thing. I'm done with all this.

00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: Most people pick one night a year to hand out

200
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: awards like the Crumby oscars where everybody's full of crap

Speaker 1: ten minutes from now from the tire rack dot Com studios,

230
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: we are going to hand out an award, and look,

231
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: this week was difficult because there are some interesting storylines

232
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: heading into the NFL season or heading into the final

233
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: weeks of the NFL season. So this one was a

234
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: little bit difficult here, but we have to make difficult

235
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: decisions sometimes, So we're going to hand out that award,

236
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: and that award will be yours. Coming up again a

237
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: little over ten minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio.

238
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: By the way, quick update on a bowl game, the

239
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Peach Bowl Ole Miss twenty to seventeen. They have a

240
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: lead over Penn State under eleven minutes left to go

241
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: in the third quarter there, so we're looking at ole

242
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Miss looking like they're going to either Yeah, they'll attempt

243
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: a long field goal here. So the ole Miss Rebels

244
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: looking to extend their lead there at the Peach Bowl.

245
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: I know one LeVar Arrington up on game which you

246
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: can hear before us every single Saturday. He is there,

247
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: obviously representing Penn State and representing Styx. The number eleven

248
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: warned by LeVar in State College. And the kick is

249
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: up and good. And by the way, obviously I do

250
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: the show with LeVar during the week two Pros and

251
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: a cup of Joe. I just want you to know

252
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: that we are all about loyalty, and we are all

253
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: about staying by each other's side no matter what.

254
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: You know.

255
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: It's like the old backdraft quote. You go, we go.

256
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: And just so you are aware that we did pick

257
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: every single bowl game against the spread this season. There

258
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: were forty one, to be exact. Nobody else has got

259
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: the guts as I laid out to do so. So

260
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: just to show you my loyalty for LeVar, who do

261
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: you think I bet on in this game? Of course?

262
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Ole Miss because that's the way that works, all right.

263
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: So that's the way I'm going. I'm trying to win

264
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: this thing, and loyalty can kiss my ass when it

265
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: comes to our bullpick so ole miss an underdog heading

266
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: into this game now has a six point lead twenty

267
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: three seventeen under eleven minutes to go left in the

268
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: third quarter. We'll keep you posting on that throughout the

269
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: course of this show as well too. All right. So

270
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: there's a coach in the NFL who is fed up?

271
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: Is that enough? Sick of it, tired of it, doesn't

272
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: want to hear about it anymore. And I don't blame him.

273
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: That coach is Kyle Shanahan, because there's a lot of

274
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: conversation now following the last time out for the San

275
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers when they showed up on Christmas

276
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: night and they showed up against the Baltimore Ravens and

277
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: got absolutely stomped out. Now, that was one of my

278
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: Knox locks. I was not surprised by it. I thought

279
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: it would be a little bit more competitive. But brock

280
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 1: Perty had a bad game, and so as the quarterback,

281
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: he's going to wear it a little bit. And Kyle

282
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Shanahan is a little bit annoyed and a little bit

283
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: tired of having to discuss the four interception performance by

284
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Rock Party, and he said so with the media yesterday. Panthersay, yeah,

285
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: he was great.

286
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 6: I mean it's I think, no offense to you, but

287
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 6: I'm so exhausted talking about the interceptions from a game

288
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 6: last game. But it's been like any other week, and

289
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 6: like any other play, he goes through each play one

290
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 6: at a time, then tries to do with the best

291
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 6: he can.

292
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: The problem is, anytime brock Purty struggles, this is what's

293
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: going to happen, because Brock Purty is the new Dak Prescott.

294
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Like just so we're all clear here, he's the new

295
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Anytime Brock pretty struggles, you're going to hear

296
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: about it, much like anytime Dak Prescott struggles, you're going

297
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: to hear about it. Because there are people that are

298
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: so committed to the take and so committed to the

299
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: pushback they get from the fan bases on the take

300
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: that anytime there's some sort of a sign of struggle

301
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: or some sort of a sign that hey, maybe I

302
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: got this thing right from the beginning, they're going to

303
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: jump up for joy and going to be shouting from

304
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: the rooftops. That's the way this works. And so when

305
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy throws four interceptions in a game in primetime television, yes,

306
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: bad game. Know who said it was a bad game,

307
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purty. Everybody acknowledges that there were

308
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: there was the first interception, bad play. Kyle Shanahan said

309
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: it this week, set it after the game, sowed brock

310
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: Purty the other interceptions deflections bad luck. Trying to chase it.

311
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: Brock Purty had had, you know, a pretty honest commentary,

312
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: he said, Listen, I got in my own head. I

313
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: was trying to play a certain way and trying to

314
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: play aggressive, and when you're doing that against the defense

315
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: like that, you're going to struggle. Like they've admitted it,

316
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: they've knowledged it. And so here we are a week

317
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: later and Kyle shanan is still having to talk about it.

318
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: Less than a week later or five days later, still

319
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: having to discuss it. And the reason why he's having

320
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: to discuss it is because he's got the new Dak

321
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Prescott on his hands. Remember the discuss like this ought

322
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: to tell you everything you need to know. About Dak

323
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: Prescott as a lightning rod for conversation in the NFL.

324
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: This ought to tell you everything you need to know.

325
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: First of all, he gets the one name treatment, which

326
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: is reserved for the greats Madonna, Share, Prince, MJ. Lebron.

327
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: You know, like when people talk about Dak Prescott, they

328
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: don't call him Dakota, they don't call him Prescott, they

329
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: just call him Dak. He gets the one name treatment.

330
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Why because he's always talked about. He was talked about

331
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: so much. And I've said this before, he helped carry

332
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: us through a pandemic. Not even lying because once you

333
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: got done with Tiger King and the Last Dance documentary,

334
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: once you got done with all that, what were we

335
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: talking about? What was out there? I know because I

336
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: was still working every day. So what were we talking about?

337
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: The contract negotiations between Dak Prescott and the Cowboys and

338
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: whether he was going to get paid and what they

339
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: were going to do with the franchise tag and was

340
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: he deserving of a long term contract? That guy carried

341
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: us through a pandemic. And it wasn't even about games.

342
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: It was just is he legit? Is he not? Rock Party?

343
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Is now? Dak Prescott, Like people that are fatigued with

344
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: the Dak Prescott critique and criticiz people that have got

345
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: that fatigue, they've now transitioned over to Brock party. You

346
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 1: got to pick one way or the other. I mean, well,

347
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: listen though, that four in or seve game, that is

348
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: a referendum on who Brock Purty is as a quarterback.

349
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: And I got news for you. This is how this

350
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: all works. He could throw four interceptions against Washington this weekend,

351
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: He could throw four touchdowns against Washington this weekend. He

352
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: could throw another four touchdown the first game of the playoffs,

353
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: and there will still be people that will bring up yeah,

354
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: but what about that Ravens defense if he sees them again.

355
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: This is how this works. And so Kyle Shannon's tired

356
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: of talking about it because he recognizes this is what

357
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: I've got on my hands now, this is what I

358
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: have to work with, Like, I've got to deal with

359
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: the fact that there is going to be a magnifying

360
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: glass on my quarterback every single week because people can't

361
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: get it through their heads or can't just accept the

362
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: fact that yeah, the guy's pretty good, well, yeah he's

363
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: pretty good, but he's not a franchise quarter Okay, well,

364
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. They seem to be one, if not

365
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: the best team, one of the best teams in the NFL,

366
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: and they seem to be quarterbacked by the guy named

367
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: Rock Purty. I mean, you know, we can have this

368
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: discussion all we want. We can argue about it all

369
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: we want. I mean, I know who the super Bowl

370
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: favorite is, and it's the team that's quarterback by Brock Purty.

371
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: That's what I know. But no, no, no, what about

372
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: that three game stretch? And see he can't do it

373
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: without help? Okay, all right, he can't do it without help,

374
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: And he got exposed, all right because everybody else played

375
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: a great game against the Ravens. Like everybody else played

376
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: a great game. There were no issues anywhere else, no deflections,

377
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: no nothing. Just let's just focus on Brock Purty. So

378
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: congratulations for anybody who was fed up with Dak Prescott

Speaker 7: of the Carolina Panthers a team that has had many

423
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,560

Speaker 7: you do with.

425
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,360

426
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,159

Speaker 7: from the Steelers practice squad. They've played this Seahawks tomorrow

430
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 7: and this just came across the wire. A couple of

431
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 7: minutes ago, the Boston Red Sox trading seven time All

432
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 7: Star Chris Sailed to the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta sends back

433
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 7: infield prospect Vaughn Grisom and cash. Chris Dale had to

434
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 7: wave a no trade clause for the deal to go through.

435
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 7: But he's your newest Atlanta Brave. Jonas back to.

436
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: You, well, Martin, I gotta ask you a question. Talk

437
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: to him because I know you got a big game

438
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: coming up. I know how we feeling about your Wolverines.

439
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: The nerves are starting to set in Jonas. I'm not

440
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna lie.

441
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 7: I'm ready should I've been driving down so I was

442
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 7: driving down ventory to see people walking down with the

443
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 7: big block M on their chest I'm like, man, it's

444
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 7: really here, It's really gonna happen. I'll say, if it wasn't,

445
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 7: if I didn't have already like anxiety about the idea

446
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 7: of Jim Harbaugh and preparing after a month against Nick Saban,

447
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 7: I would feel so much better about it. Like everything

448
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 7: to me is pointing that Michigan should win this game

449
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 7: and at least cover the two because you know why

450
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 7: it stayed at one and a half for over like

451
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 7: three weeks. Yeah, and all the reports are saying that

452
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 7: all this money is pouring in on the Alabama side.

453
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 7: So just from a gambler's aspect, you know what that

454
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 7: tells me. Probably tells you the same thing, Jonas. I

455
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 7: know you know your way around Vegas. You take the

456
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 7: side that the money's not on, right, because that's the

457
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 7: side that Vegas wants to win. I'm not saying it's rigged,

458
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 7: but I'm just saying that's how they set the lines.

459
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: See. The problem with me is I'm pulled in so

460
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: many directions on this because I love both programs, mostly

461
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: because they pissed so many people off. Like I'm a

462
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: big fan of that, Like I always rooted for the

463
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: bad guys in wrestling. I always rooted for the Heels,

464
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: like ravishing. Rick Rude is one of my favorite wrestlers

465
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: of all time, Like he would put his opponent's wife's

466
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: picture on his tights like that. That's the kind of

467
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: guy I like. I like a bad guy, And both

468
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: of these programs elicit a lot of hate and negativity.

469
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: So I'm a big fan when it comes to that.

470
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: And when I'm looking at this game, I just have

471
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: no I have no clue which way I'm leaning because

472
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: everything that tells me man Michigan's been pretty consistent, They're

473
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: gonna be healthy, They've played big games. This is it

474
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: feels like destiny. I want to see Jim Harbaugh prove

475
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: so many people wrong that we're complaining about the sign

476
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: stealing and that it goes back to your point. Yeah,

477
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: but Nick Sabans had a long time to prepare and

478
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: we know how that works, and they've got big game

479
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: experience and what it could be a season of destiny

480
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: based on what they did in the SEC title game

481
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: and the conclusion of the Iron Bowl. I just don't

482
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: know which way I'm going yet. I really don't.

483
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: See I'm going with Michigan. But I'll say this.

484
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 7: I was high on Jalen Milroe to start the year,

485
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 7: and I felt like I was the It was blowing

486
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 7: my mind. I'm like, I'm the only person, it felt

487
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 7: like in the national media who is saying that.

488
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: Alabama has a great shot to win the SEC.

489
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 8: And also and also what took him so long to

490
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 8: name the starter? Like what were they farting around for?

491
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 8: It's like, dude, isn't this obvious? He has a there's

492
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 8: a dynamic aspect to Jalen Milroe that nobody else on

493
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 8: Alabama had at quarterback. Absolutely, so I didn't get it.

494
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: I was big on mill Row. I was big on Alabama.

495
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 8: I want a ton of money when they won the

496
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 8: SEC title game. And I just if I had known

497
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 8: that this would have been the end result back in September,

498
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 8: yeah I would have felt differently. But yeah, you know,

499
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 8: Jim Harball is in rare form today at college at

500
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 8: the media day for the Rose Bowl, or at least

501
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 8: a media availability earlier today, he was He said Jesus

502
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 8: would have been a five star recruit. And also, like Moses,

503
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 8: he's gonna die leaning on his on his staff, and

504
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 8: he couldn't have a better staff to lean on so.

505
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: You wanna talk about Jim Harball being quirky. There you go.

506
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of stories about Jim Harborough that

507
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: have been out there that are very quirky. We're not

508
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: even getting to the part that you know, he drinks

509
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: milk with a steak, which is very odd, but nonetheless.

510
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 7: The nervous bird and really, I'll I want to know

511
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 7: what Jesus is nil package would have looked like, that's

512
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 7: my question.

513
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, kidding, Well, I mean, you know, if you

514
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: go to church, you basically are you know, helping it

515
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: out every week when they hand out the donation tray,

516
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: so you know, everybody's involved in all that. So there

517
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: it is. There's your update on the nerves of one

518
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: Martin Wise as he represents Big Blue the Michigan Wolf

519
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Raines as they get set for their big matchup with

520
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the Alabama Crimson Tide. It is Jonas Knox here on

521
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. By the way, we do have another

522
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: edition of Do You Care coming up here, final one

Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, So it's going to be a blockbuster.

00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: now from the tire Raq dot Com studios. But listen,

526
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: we like to hand out awards on this show, all right.

527
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: We're not waiting around for the ball to drop on

528
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: tape delay three hours later and try and pretend like

529
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: it's actual live television. No no, no, no, no, no no.

530
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: We we like to make awards happen on the spot,

531
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: in the moment, every single week here on Fox Sports Radio. So,

532
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: without further ado, it is time for our thank God

533
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: for Gambling Game of the Week in the NFL, and

534
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: it goes to Jaguars. Now, I gotta be honest with you,

535
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: there are some storylines here. Jacksonville is going to be

536
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: starting CJ. Bethart at quarterback, and I know what you're saying. Well,

537
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're starting a backup quarterback against the

538
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFL, then clearly this is a

539
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: TGFG Game of the Week. Well not quite, because there

540
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: are some storylines here. There are some developing situations. First

541
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: of all, Jacksonville is in a dogfight for the AFC South.

542
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: They've been a disappointment the entire time I've said it.

543
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: I think they're the Saints of the AFC. Totally disappointing

544
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: and based on merit alone, and underwhelming performances based on

545
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: the preseason expectations. I don't think the Saints or the

546
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars deserve to represent their division in the playoffs, but

547
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: both they're still alive. Jacksonville is still in the lead

548
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: so as game for the Jaguars, and Trevor Lawrence is

549
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: missing his first start since like the nineteen sixties at

550
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: quarterback for Jacksonville. And then Carolina is an awful team.

551
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: But here's where things get interesting. You've got somebody who's

552
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: watching with a lot of interest at the top of

553
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: the draft, being the Chicago Bears, and being the Arizona Cardinals,

554
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: and maybe the New England Patriots and maybe even the

555
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders because Carolina has got to stay losing and

556
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback getting the start for Jacksonville means Carolina

557
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: does have a better opportunity to win this game. The

558
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: point spread has dropped. It was at six six and

559
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: a half depending on where you look. Now we're seeing

560
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: that the Jacksonville Jaguars are still a four point favorite.

561
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: It's at home. It's in Jacksonville, it's at EverBank Stadium.

562
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't you know. The weather looks like it's going

563
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: to be in the high fifties. Not sure how many

564
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: people are going to be swimming in the pool in

565
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: the top deck, but nonetheless, we've got to give it

566
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: to somebody, So by default, we're going to go with

567
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFL. Well at a team

568
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: starting a backup quarterback for the first time since they

569
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: drafted their franchise quarterback. So with that, our TGFG game

570
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: of the Week, our thank God for gambling Game of

571
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: the Week goes to the Panthers at the Jaguars, because

572
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: if not for gambling, nobody's watching this piece. Jonas Knox

Speaker 9: So, the Toronto Raptors are sending og Nanobi and some

615
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 9: other pieces to the Knicks for RJ. Barrett and Emmanuel quickly, Jonas,

616
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 9: do you care?

617
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: No, God, no, Listen, We're in the midst of college

618
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: football playoff weekend. You got a NFL games filled to

619
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: the brim tomorrow. Like, there's a lot going on. Listen.

620
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: I admire the NBA doing their best to try and

621
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: stir up some interest. I get it. You know, like

622
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: they were really hoping the Pistons would have beaten the

623
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: Celtics the other night, because you know they would have

624
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, would have been first time they've won a

625
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: game since like nineteen eighty five. And I get all that.

626
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: But the problem is people are watching these Bowl games,

627
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: people are watching the NFL storylines. They're watching Russell Wilson

628
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: and Sean Payton break up on national TV. There's too

629
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: much going on. Cute move by the NBA. Congrats to

630
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: the Raptors and the Knicks for making the trade happen,

631
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: But no, I'm out next.

632
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 9: Fire Day was trending on Twitter within minutes of Ohio

633
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 9: States lost to Missouri last night. Of course, that referencing

634
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 9: Ryan Day, Ohio States coach Jonas Do you care?

635
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: No, not really, I don't care. Like the part of

636
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: this that is comical is that this assertion that, oh

637
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: my god, they've they've got to move on from Ryan Day.

638
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: There is a problem of Ryan Day has got to go.

639
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: They've got to move on from Ryan Day. And I'm

640
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: looking around, I'm going, okay, so let me get this

641
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: straight because I just want to be clear on this.

642
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: The guy's been coaching at Ohio State since twenty eighteen,

643
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: so he's got a six year sample size and he's

644
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: lost eight games. But apparently he's got to go, all right,

645
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: Apparently that that is grounds for termination. He's got to go.

646
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: No more, Ryan Dade, Ohio State, Ryan Day, you have

647
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: to go. We want no. It's like, dude, at some point,

648
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: you gotta calm down. You gotta recognize you didn't have

649
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: a lot of key pieces in that game last night.

650
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: Yes it was ugly, Yes it was brutal. I get

651
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: all that. But he is going to be judged based

652
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: on what happens next year against Michigan and in bigger

653
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: games than that, And that's just a fact.

654
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 9: Next Yeah, with the playoff expanding, you're never not making

655
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 9: it again. So calm down, everybody.

656
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: They just people can't like they have no there's no

657
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: that's but that's why college football is great because fan

658
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: bases are unreasonable.

659
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 9: It's just insane people.

660
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: For Christ's sake, you had a guy poison a tree

661
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: and kill it and call in and brag about it

662
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: on radio. I mean, what do you expect?

663
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: Uh?

664
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 9: Spurs rookie Victor Weinbinyama. He didn't hold back when asked

665
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 9: to describe Las Vegas. He said it's the closest thing

666
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 9: we have to a dystopia and that he was not

667
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 9: a fan. Jonas do you care?

668
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, well, yeah, I love it? Well, yeah, welcome

669
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Like what do you I mean? Like, like, hey, Victor,

670
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: look I know that you like the last time you

671
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: were there you had some sort of an altercation with

672
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Britney Spears or something. Like that. I forget the details,

673
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: not like, you know, his security guard like pusher or

674
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: something like that. I get all that, But dude, if

675
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: you really want to get confused, why don't you ask

676
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: those guys that are slapping paper against their hands on

677
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: the street, what's in that paper? And open that bad

678
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: boy up? You know, because for like fifty seventy five bucks,

679
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: you could have a guest come to your room and

680
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: then the next thing, you know, that whole trip takes

681
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: a turn. Just saying like, there's a lot of opportunity,

682
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot of options there, and I can't even imagine

683
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: what Super Bowl Week is going to be like next.

684
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 9: The pop Tards Bowl did in fact feature an edible

685
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 9: mascot who was lowered into a toaster like Arnold at

686
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 9: the end of Terminator Too, and then consumed by the

687
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 9: Kansas State Wildcats who won that bowl game. Jonas, do

688
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 9: you care?

689
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do, because I feel like we were sold

690
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: to bill of goods. Like the problem is, I don't

691
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: know many toasters where you put something in the top

692
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: and it comes out of the bottom. Normally that's the

693
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: tray where you're like getting rid of the crumbs or

694
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: the stuff left over. It's like, you couldn't figure out

695
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: a way to like have the edible version of the

696
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 1: mascot come back up through the top after you put it.

697
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: It's like, I feel like they gotta step their game

698
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: up there. And the fact that Poptart's got all this

699
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: love again when everyone recognized, Man, you know what, I

700
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: haven't had a pop tart in a long time. I mean,

701
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: the campaign, the marketing was brilliant, but I was really

702
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: disappointed with the execution of the actual giant toaster and

703
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: the edible mascot. Let's go live? Do I have a

704
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: thought on eating mascots? Insider chrisp Perpheff of The Later.

705
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: That's that's your problem with it.

706
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 5: That's your problem is that it came out the wrong

707
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 5: side of the toaster, and not that we have simulated

708
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 5: it a living That thing was living dancing, It was

709
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 5: sent shit, It was a live Jonas, It was a

710
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 5: live and we ate it.

711
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: We ate it.

712
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, have you seen the Jeffrey Dahmer documentary

713
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: That stuff Happens? Look around? Find it on Netflix. Do

714
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: you think I'm making that up? Next?

715
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 9: Lane Kiffin apparently had a low level ole Miss staffer

716
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 9: create a fake Twitter profile of a Penn State fan

717
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 9: who then tweeted out like four separate tweets trashing old

718
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 9: miss that he then retweeted in order to motivate his team.

719
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 9: It appears to be working because they're up big on

720
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 9: a penze right now. So Jonas, do you care?

721
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 3: Yes?

722
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Because I love how blatant like if everybody's acknowledging Twitter

723
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: is a cesspool, because it is, like if anybody's not

724
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: familiar with Twitter, it is a cesspool, much like much

725
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: of social media, like the idea that somebody is now

726
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: going to be like, all right, well, I guess I'll

727
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: just swim in the mud too and make up some stories,

728
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'll make some fake stuff up and just

729
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: roll with that to try and piss my team off.

730
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I want to see more of that. Next.

731
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 9: The Ravens will honor Ray Rice as their legend of

732
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 9: the game against the Dolphins tomorrow. Do you care?

733
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: I'll mean.

734
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

735
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 9: And do you think they're hoping this will give the

736
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 9: team a kick?

737
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: Come on, Bo, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

738
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: I just look, man, that was that was really a

739
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: tipping point for the NFL, and it is not a

740
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: laughing matter, but the fact that you know the Ravens

741
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: are like, well, that's been long enough. I'm pretty sure

742
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: you can still find the video though, you know, like,

743
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you could still find that video. I

744
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: just it is. It is an interesting move. I'll say

745
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: that it is a little a little strange, but nonetheless

746
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how that lands for many people

747
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: and the many media members throughout the course of this weekend.

748
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 9: Next your move, Buffalo Bills. Taylor Swift's brother gifted Travis

749
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 9: Kelcey a VHS copy of Little Giants for Christmas. I

750
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 9: guess he had it in a sack and everything. Jonas,

751
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 9: do you care?

752
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: No, not really don't. First of all, and I'm not

753
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: trying to insult anybody, like listen, all due respect to

754
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: Rick Moranis, and I'm a big Rick Moranis fan. That

755
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: movie stunk. It's stunk out loud. It wasn't believable. None

756
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: of those kids could actually play and I would love,

757
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: I would love for somebody to be honest about that.

758
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: So it does bring back some memories. I will say

759
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: that it does bring back some memories in the world

760
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: of college football and most importantly the world is screwing

761
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: over somebody in the world of college football. We will

762
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: get into that coming up here in just a couple

763
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: of moments. From now gionas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You

775
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. So we were talking about this

776
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. Obviously, with the big games coming

777
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: up on Monday on New Year's Day and really really

778
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: fun matchups, I'm actually looking more forward to the matchups

779
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: this year than I was last year. And I don't

780
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: know why that is, and I think that look Texas, Washington,

781
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: obviously they weren't there, But you know, the Michael Pennock

782
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: story in Washington and Kayla de Boor and what he's

783
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 1: done there with the Huskies and Steve Sarkesian and having

784
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: Texas back. I mean, it does set up for really

785
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: the potential of a lot of disappointment for Texas. And

786
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: then over on the flip side of things, and by

787
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: the way, speaking of unreasonable fan bases, the Texas Longhorns,

788
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: my god. But over on the other side of things,

789
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: we were talking about Alabama and Michigan earlier, and I'm

790
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: really torn because I love both programs, I love both coaches,

791
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: and I just like the fact that they elicit so

792
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: much negativity and dislike and how uncomfortable Alabama makes everybody

793
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: feel when they're in the room, and how uncomfortable Jim

794
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: Harbaugh makes everybody feel when they're in the room. Proverbally speaking, Okay,

795
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: but it does bring back some memories, right when I

796
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: think about one of the great screw jobs, and it

797
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: happens to involve Alabama, and coincidentally enough, it happens to

798
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: involve Texas, and it happens to involve the Rose Bowl.

799
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: So back in two thousand and nine, twenty ten, Alabama

800
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: and Texas met in the Rose Bowl. And back then

801
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: I was actually working and doing radio in South Carolina.

802
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: But obviously, because it's South, you cover a lot of

803
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: college football. That was pretty much, you know, the nuts

804
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: and bolts of everything that we did, especially during the fall,

805
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: and so it was all college football was SEC, it

806
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: was ACC And the fact that you had Alabama and

807
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: SEC team obviously from the South, going all the way

808
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: to LA to play in the Rose Bowl, that kind of,

809
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, piqued my interest because born and raised in

810
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: southern California, but living in the South, covering college football

811
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: on the South, you know, a lot of people would

812
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: ask me, so, what's it like the Rose Bowl? So

813
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: on and so forth. So I remember we were at

814
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: the we were in Alabama and we were staying at

815
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: a place called, I believe it was the ross Bridge Resort,

816
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: I believe, and it was in Leeds, Alabama, which is

817
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: not far from Birmingham, Alabama. And the reason we were

818
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: in Birmingham is because we were covering South Carolina's bowl game.

819
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: They were playing a bowl game against Yukon, a bowl

820
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: game they would go on to get absolutely wiped out

821
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: in they It was awful, and South Carolina fans were devastated.

822
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: But I remember we were staying at the resort of

823
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: the hotel and I was talking with one of the

824
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: guys who worked there, and I was just like, yeah,

825
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: so who's your team. He goes, oh, Alabama, big Alabama fan.

826
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: It's all nice. They got a you know, big one

827
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: to play in national Championship. He goes, yeah, I'm gonna

828
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: be out there. So you're going no kidding, he goes, yeah,

829
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: said uh nice, Well, you know, I'm from southern California,

830
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: So so what what's your uh like, what does the

831
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: travel arrangement look like? He said, Oh, man, we got

832
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: we got it hooked up. We got a sweet deal,

833
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: got everything lined up. Okay, well, yeah, you staying in Pasaden.

834
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: He goes, no, no, no, no, We're flying into San Diego.

835
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: We rented a car and then we're driving up there

836
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: and then we're going to get back to the hotel.

837
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: I was like, staying in San Diego. Yeah, Like why,

838
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: well that was like, you know, we talked to the

839
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: travel agency and the you know, the agent hooked us

840
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: up with like this sweet deal. Like, dude, do you

841
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: know what traffic's going to be like at that time

842
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: to get up to the Rose Bowl. Because keep in mind,

843
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: it was a national championship, it was a Monday, it

844
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: was not a holiday. It was a Monday, and the

845
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: game was kicking off at five o'clock. It's like, when

846
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: do you plan on getting up there? Oh, you know,

847
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: we'll leave a couple hours before the game. I was like, yeah,

848
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: you probably got to leave a little bit sooner than that.

849
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: And if I were you, I'd look into getting a

850
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: hotel closer to the venue, not quite staying in San Diego.

851
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: And so the fact that Alabama and Texas or in

852
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: the semi finals, and the fact that Alabama's back at

853
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. I just hope that poor bastard didn't

854
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 1: fall for the scam again of somebody trying to sell

855
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: him on why you should stay in San Diego, which

856
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: is a two to three hour drive depending on traffic,

857
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: to get to the Rose Bowl so that you can

858
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: go watch your favorite team play. So, if you were

859
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: one of those people making the trek out to one

860
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: of these big Bowl games, plan accordingly. Because there are

861
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: some scam artists that are out there. Do your research,

862
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: study up on it. But no matter what, they will

863
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: figure out a way to get to these games. That's

864
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: the one thing you could say about a lot of

865
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: these fan bases, especially the four that are playing in

866
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: the semi finals. They will figure out a way to

867
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: get to those games, and they are going to be

868
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: fun ones. As the point spreads would indicate, you were

869
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: looking at what could be a close contest between Michigan

870
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: and Alabama and also Texas in Washington and Washington, by

871
00:45:53,680 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: the way, also feels very disrespected, very disrespected at how

872
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: the feeling is that they are sort of the last

873
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: team on the wrung of teams that are actually legitimate

874
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: national championship contenders. So that is also something to look

875
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: into as we get you set for the college football

876
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: Playoff into the National Championship in the world of college football,

877
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio. So there is

878
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: a storyline that is developing in the NFL that is

879
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: at least something to watch. It's at least something to watch.

880
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: ESPN's Dan Graziano reported that the Washington Commanders are very

881
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: interested in trading up to take Caleb Williams. Oh you

882
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: don't say no, kidden So's every other team that doesn't

883
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: have a quarterback in the NFL, you know, like so's

884
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: every other team. But while a lot of the conversation

885
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: this week has been about Russell Wilson being benched and

886
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham getting the start and Sean Payton and all

887
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: that stuff, people have kind of not really paid enough

888
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: attention to what is happening in Washington, where it feels

889
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: like they have made their decision on Sam Howe, they've

890
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: also made their decision on what's going to happen with

891
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera. And it's why I said at the time

892
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 1: on Black Friday, when everyone was talking about, you know, man,

893
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera, you know, sold out Jack del Rio. He

894
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: gets fired, he's the scapegoat, blah blah. It's like, dude,

895
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: I think Ron Rivera told Jack del Rio then, hey man,

896
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: we're all getting clipped at the end of this thing.

897
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: Why don't you go spend the holidays with your family.

898
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: It's over. I think they knew back then that it

899
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: was over. And so the Washington commanders reportedly are very

900
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: interested in moving up to take Cayleeb Williams. Well, no, kitten,

901
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: here's the part that is going to be fascinating to

902
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: watch down the stretch. If if the Chicago Bears end

903
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: up picking number one overall, which still I'm saying is

904
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: a big if. And if you just look ahead, say

905
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: Carolina loses to Jacksonville, which is the projection even though

906
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: CJ they just starting, Carolina is underdogs there. Carolina's last

907
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: game of the year is against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

908
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: who can clinch the division if they win this weekend

909
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: against New Orleans. If Tampa's already clinched the division, how

910
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: many starters are actually going to be playing in Week eighteen.

911
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: So if you're a Bears fan or you were one

912
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: of these other teams that's thinking about possibly making a

913
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: move to pick at number one or man, hopefully the

914
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: Bears fall back and we've got enough, Like if you're

915
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: one of these other teams, keep an eye on that one,

916
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: because if Tampa Bay has nothing to play for in

917
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: Week eighteen, why the f would they play any of

918
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: their starters. Sit them a week, get healthy. You're gonna

919
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: be hosting a playoff game. It's probably gonna look a

920
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: lot like last year's playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.

921
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 3: Win.

922
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: It could even be the Dallas Cowboys much like last

923
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: year's playoff game, but at least get healthy. You've got

924
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: a veteran team, and get ready for that playoff game,

925
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: which means Carolina could be playing against a bunch of

926
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,479
Speaker 1: backup to the final week of the season. But let's

927
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: just play this out the way many people projected to

928
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: play out, and what the percentages would say, which is

929
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: ninety something percent says Caroline is picking number one and

930
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: that pick goes to the Chicago Bears. I find it

931
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: hard to believe that Ryan Poles, the GM of the Bears,

932
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: with another opportunity to pick number one in the draft,

933
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: is just going to pass up on the opportunity to

934
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: take a quarterback and just continue on with the one

935
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 1: that he inherited. We opened up the show talking about

936
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: Sean Payton inheriting Russell Wilson. There was some baggage there,

937
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: like this baggage doesn't have the financial ramifications that the

938
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson stuff does. But that Bears regime, Ryan Poles,

939
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus, who knows what's happening with Matt Eberflus at

940
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: the end of this year. I find it hard to

941
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: believe that Ryan Poles is going to have another opportunity

942
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: to draft a quarterback. One overall, somebody that is considered

943
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: to be a generational talent, much like a Trevor Lawrence

944
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: or an Andrew Luck or a John Elway. And it's

945
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: just gonna say, nah, we'll trade back. We'll just continue

946
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: to ride with Justin Fields, who has improved. He has

947
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: played well in stretches. I just don't see that being

948
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: the case. So while everybody is sitting here looking around,

949
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: going man, could Justin Fields play like Look, he could

950
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: play really well the final two weeks of the season.

951
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: What's interesting is that he's got the Falcons coming up tomorrow.

952
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: And I've said it, and I've been on record, I

953
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: think that's a landing spot for Justin Fields. If you

954
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: were asked me to put money on, where does Justin

955
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: Fields end up next year if he's not a Bear,

956
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: I think he ends up in Atlanta with the Falcons.

957
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: He grew up there, played high school ball about forty

958
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: five minutes outside of Atlanta. They need a dynamic quarterback.

959
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: It's clear that's the spot that they're missing the most

960
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: on offense. When you look at how that team is built,

961
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: They've got a pretty good defense, they've got weapons on

962
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: the outside. Justin Field make a lot of sense with

963
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. But while everyone's saying man, Justin Fields

964
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 1: could prove a lot these last two weeks, I think

965
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: the decision has been made. I think if there's an

966
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to draft a quarterback, there's no way Ryan Poles

967
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: passes a second year in a row to ride with

968
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: the guy that he inherited. I just don't see it happening,

969
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: much like what happened with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson

970
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 1: in Denver and him deciding I don't want to move

971
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: on with whoever I took in. I don't want to

972
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: deal with the baggage any longer. I just wonder if

973
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Poles and the Bears look at this and go,

974
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: we inherited him, We appreciate it, but let's move him

975
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Let's acquire some draft capital, and let's

976
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: go with Kayleb Williams or whoever they pick at number one,

977
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: if they end up picking for the Carolina Panthers coming

978
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: up in April. Jonas Knocks here Fox Sports Radio. By

00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: what each of those means and what I did to

Speaker 1: elicit that sort of response. All right, So coming up

1001

1002
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about somebody who has done something

1003
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: impressive in the NFL, even if they are not acknowledged

1004
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: for it. We are going to acknowledge it, and we're

1005
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: going to do it next here on Fox Sports Radio

1006
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: Boom Texas for Jonas Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. By

1007
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: the way, nothing says that we've transitioned away from holiday

1008
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: music more than rage against the machine on a Saturday

1009
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: afternoon Freedom.

1010
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 2: That'll be.

1011
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 1: That'll be, uh, you know, something to pay close attention

1012
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: to to the you know, starch differences or stark differences

1013
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: rather between the holiday music and the concoction of music

1014
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: that comes up on Fox Sports Radio throughout the course.

1015
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 5: Should I've tried to ease us in with some trains

1016
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 5: Siberian Orchestra or something, yeah, or take us out.

1017
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: A little bit easy? And I like the drastic approach,

1018
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, just it's like, you know, like if if

1019
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: it were me, and it wouldn't be me because I'm

1020
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: not good enough. Like I've tried to be a tech

1021
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: producer before. I'm awful. Nobody like the two things that

1022
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at are wrapping gifts and tech producing, like

1023
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: I tried to do it, nobody worse, one of the

1024
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: worst ever at both. It's like I see people, like

1025
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: when they're handing out gifts and the wrapping job looks

1026
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: so good, and I'm like, why can't I do that?

1027
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: Like why am I? Why do I have the inability

1028
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: to do that? I can't measure it right, I can't

1029
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: tape it right, I can't fold it right. It always

1030
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: breaks open. It's because also I'm using like ninety nine

1031
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,479
Speaker 1: cent store dollar tree wrapping papers, so it always breaks

1032
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: at the corner of like boxes if you're wrapping them.

1033
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: But like that and tech producing. But if I were

1034
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: good enough to be a tech producer, I'll say this,

1035
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: at the stroke of midnight December twenty sixth I'd come

1036
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: right out of the gate with hate breed. I will

1037
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: be heard like I would come right out of the gate.

1038
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: Hate brings bad choice. Yeah, that or you know, Ramstein

1039
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: or something that would really wake people up to the

1040
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: fact they're like, oh my god, this is twenty six

1041
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: now Christmas is over. But again, I'm not good enough,

1042
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: so I will not be doing that. But nonetheless, happy

1043
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: Post Christmas to everybody out there. Our final show of

1044
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and it's been a fun one and

1045
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: we got a little bit more time to play with,

1046
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: all right, because coming up in about ten minutes from now,

1047
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: having a feel good story in the NFL, somebody in

1048
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, a quarterback finally getting a break, finally getting

1049
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break and a little bit

1050
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: of an opportunity, and we'll tell you who that is,

1051
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: coming up here in about ten minutes from now on

1052
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. So there is an NFL game coming

1053
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: up later on tonight, and the NFL knows how to

1054
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 1: work this thing. They know how to groove it, and

1055
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: it's actually a fun one. It's a good game. Lions

1056
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up later on and right now, courtesy of

1057
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: our friends at DraftKings, Dallas is a five and a

1058
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: half point favorite. Now, both of these teams are playoff teams.

1059
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys are looking for a get right opportunity.

1060
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: They were shellacked in Buffalo, they lost a heartbreaker to

1061
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and now they're coming back home where

1062
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: they have been great at home all year long. And

1063
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: they've got the Detroit Lions who have been a really

1064
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: good road team and has traveled really really well. And

1065
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: what's going to be fun about this is there will

1066
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: be a lot of Lions fans there. There will be

1067
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Lions fans there in Dallas to see

1068
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: them play during a holiday week on a Saturday night.

1069
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: So this is actually a fun game and a good

1070
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: game coming up later on tonight. Whether it plays out

1071
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: that way, who knows. I personally feel like Dallas is

1072
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: in a bounce back spot here and maybe there's a

1073
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: little bit of a letdown for the Detroit Lions. But

1074
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: let me just speak on this all right, because I

1075
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: want to say this. Sometimes it's more impressive to not

1076
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: be impressive. And what I mean by that is the

1077
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: expectations would tell you you're supposed to do this, so

1078
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: when you do it, it's really not all that impressive.

1079
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: It's like people that say, well, I'm a great dad, Well, yeah,

1080
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: i'd hope so. Like so you imagine coming home to

1081
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: your wife and being like, hey, guess what didn't have

1082
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: an affair today? Sweet? You want beer? Or like what

1083
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: do you what do you want?

1084
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 5: Like?

1085
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: What do you like?

1086
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what are you getting at?

1087
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 6: Like?

1088
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: Are you telling me that you did yesterday and today's

1089
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: like I don't understand. It's like, hey, guys, guess what

1090
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: good news? What's that didn't drive drunk today? WHOI how

1091
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: about you?

1092
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 8: Ah?

1093
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: Here take my keys? Then? Oh man, It's like dude, like, well, yeah,

1094
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: that's what you're supposed to do. Like, sometimes it's more

1095
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: oppressive to not be impressive. And I say all that

1096
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: to say this. If you're the Detroit Lions and you're

1097
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: a Detroit Lions fan and you're that fan base and

1098
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: you're upset about the fact that Kevin Stefanski is now

1099
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: the overwhelming favorite to be Coach of the Year, dude,

1100
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: take the compliment, like I would take that as a compliment.

1101
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: First and foremost, what Kevin Stefanski has done with the

1102
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns is impressive because they've had how many different quarterbacks.

1103
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they gave Massage Wattson two hundred and thirty

1104
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed the guy's hardly played, and when he

1105
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: has played, he hadn't played all that well. Joe Flacco

1106
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,919
Speaker 1: was hanging out with his kids like six weeks ago,

1107
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: and now he's got him in the playoffs with an

1108
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: incentive based contract for every time he wins, and every

1109
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: step of the playoffs they get into. So the Cleveland

1110
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: Browns are back in the playoffs with all of the

1111
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: issues they've had at quarterback, Nick Chubb going down with

1112
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: an injury. Nick Chubb one of the unsung heroes of

1113
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, a guy who's really been the workhorse with

1114
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: that team through all of their quarterback carousel, the Baker

1115
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield fallout, all of that stuff. Nick Chubb's been the constant.

1116
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: He's been out with an injury. They're in the most

1117
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: difficult division in the NFL, or at least the most competitive,

1118
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: and Cleveland's in the playoffs. Like Yeah, By definition, Coach

1119
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: of the Year should go to the person who did

1120
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: the best with the most difficult circumstance, and that would

1121
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: be the Cleveland Browns. The fact that Dan Campbell's not

1122
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: going to win Coach of the Year is a compliment.

1123
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: It means that not only have they done their job,

1124
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: but they met expectations, expectations that the Lions have not

1125
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: had for a long ass time. They were expected to

1126
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: win the NFC North. Everyone saw what they were building there.

1127
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: It's been a slow build. They've done it differently than

1128
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: everybody else. We've talked about it on this show. It's

1129
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: why it's been so much fun to watch because they've

1130
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: done it differently. We're going to build through the draft

1131
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: in the trenches. We're going to bring back some of

1132
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: our legends and we're going to have them be a

1133
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: part of this whole thing. And we're also going to

1134
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: take a quarterback who's his former team couldn't wait to

1135
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: move on from, and we're going to make that guy

1136
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: another a viable option as a starter in this league.

1137
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Again to where they're talking about contract extensions. Everything Detroit

1138
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: has done has been brilliant. And Dan Campbell a guy

1139
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: everybody laughed at and everybody mocked when he first got

1140
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: the gig. Well, okay, this is like a one or

1141
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: two year guy. And then we've he's done one of

1142
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: the better coaching jobs of the year and of the

1143
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: past couple of years. But everyone saw what they were building,

1144
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: They saw the momentum, they saw where this thing was heading.

1145
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Last year when they went into lambeau Field, a game

1146
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: that would have been a win and get in an

1147
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Lions if not for Seattle winning their

1148
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: game earlier in the day, and you would assume, all right, well,

1149
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: that's a team that, hey, their playoff hopes have been dashed.

1150
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they come out and they lay an egg, and

1151
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: they didn't. They came out and they stomped out Green

1152
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Bay and Aaron Rodgers' final game at lambeau Field that

1153
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: ought to tell you everything you needed to know about

1154
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: where the organization was headed and what they were doing

1155
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: and where Dan Campbell had them. So when you came

1156
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: into this season, the expectation was that's the best team

1157
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: in the division. They're going to win the NFC North.

1158
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: So the fact that they actually did it is impressive

1159
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: because that's what they should have done. The Bears are

1160
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: in the middle of a rebuild. The Vikings have all

1161
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: sorts of question marks. I mean, they just now determined

1162
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: who their starting quarterback was going to be, and apparently

1163
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: it ain't Josh Dobbs. It's going to be a rookie

1164
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: in what is a pivotal must win situation from Minnesota,

1165
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: and Green Bay's turned the reins over to Jordan Love Like,

1166
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: the division's kind of in flux, and the one team

1167
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: who's been on the build and been ascending this entire

1168
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: time has been the Lion. The fact that Dan Campbell's

1169
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: not going to get Coach of the Year. That is

1170
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: a compliment. What do they always say about Lebron James?

1171
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: What is the most the two things that you say

1172
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: about Lebron James And you could be a Lebron hater

1173
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: or take shots in him, and look, he does a

1174
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of things that are annoying he does. I mean,

1175
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: people could say, no, like, his behavior is a little

1176
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: bit weird. Sometimes it's odd, it's annoying, borderline douchey like

1177
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: it is. But the two things that you can never

1178
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: deny Lebron James outside of the fact that he's a

1179
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: great player, is his health and his physical conditioning over

1180
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: the twenty years that he's been in the league, we've

1181
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: never seen before. You talk about durability, We've never seen

1182
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: it before in the NBA ever, And people can critique

1183
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: load management and whatnot. Nobody has done it to that

1184
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: level for that long and had no serious season ending

1185
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: injury like Lebron James has. Now, depending on who you

1186
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: talk to, maybe it's not all the up and up.

1187
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, depending on who you talk to,

1188
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: some people speculate, but nonetheless you cannot take that away

1189
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: from him, and the other thing you can't take away

1190
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: from him. He has lived up to and exceeded the expectations.

1191
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Like there's been a lot of the next Jordan, the

1192
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: next mj who's the next guy? Remember Harold Minor? He

1193
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: was baby Jordan? Remember him? Oh, he's baby Jordan. Never

1194
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: lived up to the expectations. It's too hard to even

1195
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's own sons never lived up to the expectations. Well,

1196
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean unless you know, you know, like the off

1197
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the court, you know what I mean, Like there's you know,

1198
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,919
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, the Jordan's and Pippens, like there's

1199
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: a lot going on there. But point is, Lebron James

1200
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: has and then some, which is what makes it so

1201
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: impressive because he was projected to be the heir apparent,

1202
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the next king and he's done that. So you give

1203
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: him credit for it because he's lived up to that.

1204
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: I give the Lions not credit for having the coach

1205
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: of the Year, but for living up to expectations like

1206
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: they should have. And to me, that is as impressive,

1207
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:15,959
Speaker 1: if not more impressive, than somebody turning around what Kevin

1208
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Stefanski has done in Cleveland. So Dan Campbell may not

1209
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: win Coach of the Year, and I don't think he's

1210
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: going to, and I don't think he should. I'd give

1211
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: it to Stefanski too, but it doesn't downplay the job

1212
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: that he's done. When everybody said they were on the rise,

1213
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: this was a team that was going to be the

1214
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: team to beat in that division, and they've done exactly that.

1215
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter

1216
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,479
Speaker 1: at the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knox on Twitter,

01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: and you can hang out with us as always on

1218
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. All right, so we are going to

1219
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: talk about a feel good story in the world of football.

1220
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: That'll be yours coming up here momentarily. But for all

1221
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: the latest from around the world of sports, it's Martin Wise.

Speaker 7: to think the best way to say it. He snuck

1258
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 7: out on the field and almost bungled the coin toss

1259
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 7: for the Packers last week, so he's not playing this week.

1262
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 7: with the Seahawks. Speaking of the Seahawks, per Brady Henderson,

1263
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 7: the Seahawks are releasing former three time Pro Bowl linebacker

1264
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 7: Frank Clark today. Clark had been a healthy scratch for

1265
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 7: two of the last three games and three of the

1266
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 7: nine games since the Seahawks re signed him.

1267
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 2: You may remember he started the season with the Denver Broncos.

1268
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Jonas back to you, Yeah and Frank Clark was one

1269
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: of those you know moves that was happened that took

1270
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: place in October, around the same time Russell Wilson was

1271
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: approached by the team. So, like anybody that's like up

1272
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: in arms over this approach by Denver, dude followed the

1273
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: tea leaves.

1274
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 7: This was happening earlier in the year. I mean they

1275
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 7: were laying the groundwork. Jonas it happened. All of this

1276
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 7: was in play the moment that Sean Payton signed the contract.

1277
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 7: And I don't understand why everybody's all up in arms

1278
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 7: about it. It seems to me very much to be

1279
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 7: the business of the NFL.

1280
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, that's why it's funny when everybody you

1281
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: know takes the owner sides and these player owner disputes

1282
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: over contracts and cbas and all that stuff, and it's

1283
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,280

1296
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: catches it, spins and dives into the end zone. Nobody

1297
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,839
Speaker 1: picked him up out of the backfield and Lane Kippin

1298
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Charlie Weiss styled up a good one. David Kellum from

1299
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: Learfield on the call. That is the progressive play of

1300
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 1: the day. Oh miss putting a beat down on Penn

1301

1308
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: to quickly point this out. This is a feel good story,

1309
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: all right, because a lot of people were disappointed to

1310
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: see the end of the Tommy DeVito era with the

1311
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: New York Giants because you know, I mean kind of

1312
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: kind of swept the nation. You know, a lot of

1313
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: people doing the I believe it's called a shave boy

1314
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: or a cave boy. You know, where you put your

1315
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: hands together, you do the pinching symbol. All right, I

1316
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: looked it up. I think it's like cave boy. But

1317
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is, who cares. We all know what it means.

1318
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: And it was fun to watch. And Tommy DeVito came out.

1319
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: He played pretty good football, and there was a lot

1320
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: of people that were, you know, making jokes about, oh,

1321
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: who's this DeVito guy. Of course, he threw like negative

1322
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: seven yards his first appearance, and then they actually won

1323
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: some games, and his family was there, and then there

1324
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: was that whole issue with the appearance fee, and his

1325
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 1: agent was doing interviews, and he was going into the

1326
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: Italian Sports Hall of Fame, like a lot of it.

1327
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Like it was a really fun, feel good story for

1328
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. But can I tell you what's

1329
01:09:52,880 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: a better story, Tyrod Taylor? Because no quarterback has had

1330
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: it worse than Tyrod Taylor when it comes to luck.

1331
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: In the NFL. Now he's getting his opportunity to be

1332
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: the Giant starter again. They've made the decision. The problem

1333
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: is they've got Aaron Donald and the Rams coming up tomorrow.

1334
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, let's just focus on the positive stuff here.

1335
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: So Tyrod Taylor, who might add, is a Super Bowl champion.

1336
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: Guy won a Super Bowl in Baltimore. Yes, he was

1337
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,839
Speaker 1: the backup, but he was on that team in Baltimore.

1338
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: So Tyrod Taylor goes to Buffalo. He inexplicably, in the

1339
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: middle of a playoff run, gets bench for Nathan Peterman,

1340
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: who goes to quote unquote La to play the Chargers

1341
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: when they were playing at that soccer stadium. And Nathan

1342
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Peterman throws like five interceptions in the first half, and

1343
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: then the Bills realize, oh, maybe we should go back

1344
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: to Tyrod Taylor. Okay, that'll work. So he leaves Buffalo.

1345
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: He goes to Cleveland, and what happens in Cleveland. He

1346
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: gets in and then Baker Mayfield's brought in the game,

1347
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: and then the Browns finally win a game, and next

1348
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: thing you know, bud lightfridges are opening up around the

1349
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: country because the Browns hadn't won in like twenty years,

1350
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: so Baker Mayfield had the job and there was no

1351
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: looking back. Then he goes to the Chargers, is the

1352
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Chargers and gets stabbed by the trainer,

1353
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: which leads to Justin Herbert taken over and Justin Herbert

1354
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: being the franchise quarterback and getting paid two hundred something

1355
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: million dollars ever since. Guy legitimately got stabbed by a

1356
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: member of the training staff. Now, probably not intentional, but

1357
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: he gotta be careful with those needles. They got a

1358
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: mind to their own sometimes. So he leaves there and

1359
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: he goes, all right, finally I'm gonna get a chance.

1360
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the Houston Texans. And if anybody

1361
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: remembers the twenty twenty one Houston Texans, the David Coley year,

1362
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: it was pretty much Deshaun doesn't want to be here.

1363
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: We're just trying to figure this thing out. They were awful.

1364
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: And then he comes to the Giants and he's behind

1365
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones gets injured, and then Tyrod Taylor's

1366
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: gotta sit behind the Italian Jeremy Lynn, who went on

1367
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: a run like we've never seen before. Like everybody, I

1368
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: mean it was pandemonium, like the Jeremy Lynn stuff in

1369
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: New York with Madison Square Garden was great to watch.

1370
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: Then Tommy DeVito steps in and people can't get enough,

1371
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: like they're doubling his appearance. Fees, They're like everybody's in

1372
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: the crowd. I mean it brought back the I mean

1373
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: Italians everywhere were rejoicing, and Tyrod Taylor couldn't catch a break.

1374
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: So the fact that he's finally getting an opportunity after

1375
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: going through a decade of that in the NFL. Yes,

1376
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: it may be a short term thing, Yes, it might

1377
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: only be a couple of games. But the fact that

1378
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's gonna have an opportunity to show his worth

1379
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: down the stretch, I think is a good thing. I'm

1380
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: happy for Tyrod Taylor. So while everybody's crying about the

1381
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito benching and upset about the fact that we

1382
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,759
Speaker 1: no longer have that and have that fun story to monitor,

1383
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: there's a better story, and it's Tyrod Taylor going through

1384
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 1: a decade of bad luck in the NFL to finally

1385
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: get a chance again. Final two weeks of the season

1386
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,639

Speaker 1: Knox Fox Sports Radio. Earl by the way, coming up

1394
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: top of XT hour a little over ten minutes from

1395
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: now from the Tirak dot com studios, it'll be Monsey

1396
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Belangos and Alex Curry will be taking over the airwaves.

1397
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 1: She probably doesn't want me to say this, I'm gonna

1398
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: do it anyways because I do.

1399
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 8: I want.

1400
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Moncey got a lot of heat from a

1401
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: lot of lazy asses who don't actually listen to things

1402
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: in totality. They just take a little snippet and run

1403
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: with it. And you know who, you are a lot

1404
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: of people out there who want to make something that

1405
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: isn't actually there. If you're not lazy and you want

1406
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: to listen to a real sports talk show where people

1407
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 1: are having nuanced conversations and you're not just one of these,

1408
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: well give it to me fast or else I can't

1409
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: be here anymore. All Right, then, if you're one of

1410
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: those people, stick around for Moncy and Alex. All Right,

1411
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: they will take over the airwaves coming up here in

1412
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: a little over ten minutes from now. Moncey is awesome.

1413
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: She has loved at FSR and it's for a reason,

1414
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and she's good at her job. And if you don't

1415
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: like it, tough balls, screw you. You're probably lazy. You're

1416
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: probably the same person that needs to wait till they

1417
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: flip the calendar to get back in the gym. Shut up,

1418
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: stop making something out of nothing, and move on with

1419
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: your lives. Also, just want to say this, this is

1420
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 1: the final weekend at Fox Sports Radio for Brandon Truffa.

1421
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: He's one of the really, really good people that we

1422
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: have at FSR, all right, Not that there's a lot

1423
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: of bad people. I mean, if you want to call

1424
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: me one of those, that's fine, that's all. I would

1425
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: always prefer to play that role anyways. But Brandon's a

1426
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: good dude. He's been here for a long time and

1427
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: he's onto bigger and better things. So just wanted to

1428
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 1: give a shout out to him. He's one of the

1429
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: nicer people that you can have anywhere, and his next

1430
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: employer is going to be very lucky to have him.

1431
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 1: So Brandon appreciate everything. Final weekend here at the network

1432
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: and final weekend at twenty twenty three so appropriate. But

1433
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: wanted to give a little shout out to Brandon as

1434
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,639
Speaker 1: well too, Also to Bo Benson, Chris Breffett, Martin Wise,

1435
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Crandall and Brie behind the scenes. Without them, none of

1436
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: this is possible. It has been a fun twenty twenty

1437
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: three here from the Tirak dot com studios. Can't wait

1438
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: for next year, but it is time to put a

1439
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: bow on this bad boy with another edition of this

1440
01:15:55,320 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: He locked it, Let's lock it and knocks locks. You

1441
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of people speaking of running their mouths,

1442
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: A lot of people out there shooting their mouths off

1443
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: about well, well, well, I mean, what are you gonna do?

1444
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: You've got your three games under five hundred with a

1445
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks left. You know how I roll? I

1446
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: go two to oho to one. That's how I roll. Now,

1447
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: if we're being honest, probably should have been three and oh.

1448
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: I had the Bears minus four against the Arizona Cardinals.

1449
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I had the Ravens plus six at the Niners, and

1450
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: then I had the Cowboys plus two against the Miami Dolphins.

1451
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Should have won that one if not for the fact

1452
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys were coughing it up, and if not

1453
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: for the fact that they were sitting here in the

1454
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 1: red zone still having issues all these weeks into the season,

1455
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: it would have been a three and oh week. But

1456
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: nonetheless two to oho to one, which puts me at

1457
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three and three on the season, one

1458
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: game under five hundred with a couple of weeks to

1459
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: play with. And I've never finished below five hundred in

1460
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: the history of Knox Locks, and I have no intention

1461
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: of doing it. Now it's time for this Lions Aid Cowboys. Yeah, listen,

1462
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Dallas Cowboys here. Now it's a

1463
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: five and a half point spread. It's coming up later

1464
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: on tonight, but I see this as a get right

1465
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: bounce back game for the Dallas Cowboys and maybe a

1466
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,839
Speaker 1: little bit of a letdown emotionally for the Detroit Lions.

1467
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: Dallas is coming off those two poor performances. Well, I

1468
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: don't want to call last week poor. That was a

1469
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: competitive game, but the week prior at Buffalo. They stunk

1470
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: out loud and they knew it. Jerry Jones is talking

1471
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: about weather and this and that. Okay, well, look you

1472
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: were in that game last week at Miami. You probably

1473
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: should have won that game. I didn't come away from

1474
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 1: that one really concerned with the Dallas Cowboys. But if

1475
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: I were a Lions fan, I'd probably be concerned because

1476
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: that's a team that plays really, really well at home.

1477
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: This is a get right opportunity for Dallas, and as

1478
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned, Detroit won the division last week. Maybe they're

1479
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: just gonna kind of sit back and play this thing out,

1480
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: or maybe there's a little bit of an emotional letdown. Yeah,

1481
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: they're playing for seeding. There's still an opportunity for the

1482
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: one seed. I think Dallas gets them in this spot.

1483
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't like the five and a half, especially that

1484
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: half point, but I'll take the Cowboys later on tonight.

1485
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Ravens. I have no idea why they're honoring

1486
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: Ray Rice at the Dolphins Ravens game. I'm not even

1487
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna touch that. Don't even want to go there. But

1488
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: I'll just say this. I like the Baltimore Ravens in

1489
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: this spot. They are a three point favorite Miami. Yes,

1490
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: they won, and they beat the Dallas Cowboys last week

1491
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: at home. I still have my reservations about them against

1492
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: some of the best teams in the league. I like

1493
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore in this spot. Give me the Ravens minus three,

1494
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: bengalsad Chiefs, I'm gonna take Kansas City. Look, Jamar Chase

1495
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: is trying to stir it up. He's talking a little

1496
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: bit of trash. Kansas City's having meltdowns left and right.

1497
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 1: But I think they figure it out this week in

1498
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: a robbery game against Cincinnati, a game a lot of

1499
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: people expected a lot more from at this point in

1500
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 1: the season. I like the Chiefs minus six and a half.

1501
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: And that is your week seventeen edition of Knox Knocks. Hey.
