16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: tire buying should be. So. There was a report that

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: came out Adam Schefter of ESPN that the Chicago Bears

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: reached out to the Pittsburgh Steelers and inquired about the

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: potential of a Mike Tomlin trade. They inquired. Now, one

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: other team also reached out. Reportedly, we don't know who

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: that other team was, but the Bears at least reached

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: out to the Steelers to see whether or not Mike

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: Tomlin would be made available. Okay, they should, I mean absolutely,

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: you should, even if it's a long shot. That's what

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: you should do. Knock on every door. Look at the

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. Every time there is a big name

27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: out there, every time there's a free agent, a trade possibility,

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: it's always the Niners that are knocking on the door, saying, hey,

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: any chance, any possibility, like what's the worst could happen?

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: I remember, this is why I was so terrible at sales.

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: When I was in a sales job. I remember my

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: boss telling me one time, your problem is you think

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: with your wallet and not theirs. So what do you

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: mean by that? He goes, cause I can hear you

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: on the phone when you're talking to these people and

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: they ask how much it costs, and you tell them,

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: I can hear you cringing cause you're just assuming based

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: on what your wallet is that theirs isn't significantly and

39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be interested. And I thought, oh, that's a

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: great point. Didn't help. I was terrible I couldn't get

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: over that. So if you're the Bears or if you're

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: anybody else out there, yeah, you know that the answer

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: is probably going to be a no. But you should

44
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: still ask knock on the door, see whether there's potential. Hey,

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: what would it cost? What would it take? Like why not?

46
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: What do you got to lose? Have the conversation. At

47
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: least pursue it. You owe it to your organization, you

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: owe it to your players, to your fan base. At

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: least knock on the door. So the Bears did what

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: they should have done. They reached out to the Pittsburgh

51
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Steelers about trying to acquire Mike Tomlin. And the other

52
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: part of that is the Steelers did what you absolutely

53
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: figured they would do and said no. And do you

54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: want to know why the Steelers aren't going to trade

55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin? Do you want to know why they're not

56
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: going to move on from Mike Tomlin despite the fact

57
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: that they haven't won a playoff game in the last

58
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: three hundred years, because it's not what they do Like

59
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: this isn't the Raiders who have had fifteen different coaches

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: since two thousand not making that up. They've had fifteen

61
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: different coaches since two thousand. The Pittsburgh Steelers have had

62
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: three since the sixties. Like, there's a huge difference here.

63
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: If anything, if I were the Bears or I was

64
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: one of these other organizations around the NFL, I would

65
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: call up the Steelers and be like, Hey, how do

66
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: you guys do it? Because I can understand that while

67
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin hasn't you know, been a long time since

68
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 2: he's won a Super Bowl, it's been this totally fair.

69
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Get all that, and all those discussions are real and warranted.

70
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: And listen, I've been on record as saying I think

71
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: the Steelers are up against it, and I really don't

72
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: know what this year accomplished, to be honest with you,

73
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: because the goal for this year was, Hey, you're really

74
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: hoping that you can win a super Bowl. You're really

75
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: hoping you can win a super Bowl. But at the

76
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: very least, do you have a planet quarterback? Because you

77
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: kind of need one in that division and in that conference.

78
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: And the Steelers after this year accomplished night, we don't

79
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: know what the hell they're going to do a quarterback.

80
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: You got these reports that Russell Wilson and Arthur Smith

81
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: didn't get along and they prefer justin field. You have

82
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: no idea, and they weren't close to being a Super

83
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Bowl contender. So all those discussions about well, you know

84
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: Tomlin and what's he really done and they don't want

85
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: to play, all of that is real. But what else

86
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: is real is the fact that that is a loyal organization,

87
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: a stable organization, and they're not going to just jump

88
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: out and make a blockbuster trade of their coach, Like,

89
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: when was the last time that happened. Oh, wouldn't you

90
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: know it? It was the Raiders. Well, you don't say

91
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: that was the last time. And it's not going down

92
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: that way. You're not going to see Mike Tomlin traded

93
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: by the Steelers because it's not what they do. So

94
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: when you look at the situation and you hear, hey,

95
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: the Bears reached out to the Steelers about a potential

96
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin trade, Well they should have, and the Steelers

97
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: do what they always do and they won't make the

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: move because that's not how they operate. So it's a

99
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: great theory. It's fun to kick around. Nothing's gonna happen.

100
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: Mike tom littlestain Pittsburgh and Chicago's gonna have to go

101
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: in another direction for their head coach. Jonas Knox here

102
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio that said, the big coaching search

103
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: that is, all of a sudden, the most popular in

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: the NFL. This is the one, and it's so typical,

105
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: and it's so beautiful how this was all orchestrated. Even

106
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: in the midst of all the chaos and all the

107
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: dysfunction and everything. The Dallas Cowboys handling of their coaching

108
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: search has been a disaster. And it's not just the search,

109
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: because they're not doing anything that much different than anybody

110
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: else other than you know, wait too long to be

111
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: able to interview certain coordinators who are still in the

112
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: playoffs because they couldn't figure out and couldn't get together

113
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: with Mike McCarthy on a deal. Listen, I mean, just

114
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: you know that small detail side that the Cowboys waited

115
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: until the last minute again and it was too late. Listen.

116
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: That plane's not gonna leave without me. I don't worry

117
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: about it. Hey, They're not gonna leave without me. Why

118
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: would they leave without me?

119
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Hey?

120
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: Is that my flight in the air already? You get

121
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: to the gate, Like, wait a second, I mean, what

122
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: do you mean the doors are closed? Yes, sir, doors

123
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: are closed, like boarding time means boarding time. Boarding time

124
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: doesn't mean hey, boarding time for everybody else, but you're

125
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: the exception. And the Cowboys treated Mike McCarthy in this

126
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: situation like, oh, listen, we've got a different boarding time

127
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: even though it's the same as everybody else. And now

128
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna get special treatment. You won't. And so now

129
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: they're scrambling. And so when you hear Jerry Jones talk

130
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: about well, and you hear these reports from Jane Slater

131
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: it does a great job covering the Cowboys for the

132
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: NFL networks, say oh, well, well, look, Jerry Jones is

133
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: kind of taking this. It's kind of a solo mission

134
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: of his. That's code for Jerry's pissed. He thought Mike

135
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy he was going to be back, and so now

136
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: he's scrambling to try and find somebody else. And so

137
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: now you start to look around and hear the names, Oh,

138
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders is out there. Dion Sanders could be the

139
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe, I mean,

140
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: it fits all the criteria. College guy Jerry Jones went

141
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: to college when he won his two Super Bowls. Jimmy

142
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: Johnson Barry Switzer splashy higher would keep the Cowboys in

143
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: the news. Former Cowboys player makes all the sense in

144
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: the world. It is splashy and then they're sensible, and

145
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: sensible would probably be Yeah, it's most likely going to

146
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: be Kellen Moore. I mean, if you were to go

147
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: to DraftKings right now, that's what the odds would say.

148
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore is a favorite, Dion Sanders is second, and

149
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: then you've got Brian Schottenheimer and Robert Sala and all

150
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: the others that are thrown in there. But it's just

151
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: so typical that this is the way this whole thing

152
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: would play out for the Cowboys like they always And

153
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: I'll be the first to say it. I assumed Mike

154
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: McCarthy would be back because that's usually how this works.

155
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: Dallas waits till the last minute, but ultimately they get

156
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: a deal done, much like Dak Prescott, C d Lamb.

157
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons is going to be the same way. Mike

158
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: McCarthy and I wondered about this throughout the course of

159
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: the year. I wondered whether or not Mike McCarthy actually

160
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: gave a rip. Dude, if I'm back, I'm back. That's fine.

161
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: Whatever you guys decide. I'm exhausted. Whatever you guys decide, cool,

162
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: whatever you guys say. All good here. But now Jerry

163
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: Jones is out there and there's all these big names

164
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: that are attached to it, and maybe Dion Sanders makes

165
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: the jump, who knows. But this is so typical for

166
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys on a couple of fronts. One they

167
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: waited until the last minute to get something done and

168
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: then after the fact they changed the discussion and all

169
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden become the marquee job that there is.

170
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, a year ago at this time they

171
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: brought back Mike McCarthy and all off season talked about

172
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: we're all in, and Mike McCarthy whenever he was asked

173
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: about his job situation or his statuses like, yeah, listen,

174
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: I'd love to be here. But you know, hey, what

175
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: about Jerry Jones questioning the direction of the offense? Yeah,

176
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: well listen, I don't know, man, I'll run it by Jerry. Okay,

177
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: Like this is so typical. So when you look at

178
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys and you see, oh, they might be

179
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: tied to this coach and they might be tied to

180
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: this player, and then it just ultimately comes down to No,

181
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: they're just gonna go with what's sensible. They're gonna go

182
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 2: with the move that makes the most sense. Like all

183
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: the speculation about well they're gonna move on from Jason Garrett,

184
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: did they know all they're gonna move on from Mike

185
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: McCarthy last year? Did they know all they could be

186
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: interested in Deon Sanders? Deon sand be the next head

187
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Cool? Is it gonna end

188
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: up happening based on the odds present day on DraftKings. No,

189
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be something a little more sensible like

190
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore becoming the next head coach in Dallas. Jonas

Speaker 2: rough wild card weekend, we'll hope to bounce back for

Speaker 2: hour extravaganza here from the ti Raq dot com studios.

202
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: But something has become very apparent. You got a lot

203
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: of people in and around the NFL that are really insecure.

204
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why next. We don't need to bring

205
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,240

210
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: coming up in a little over ten minutes from now.

211
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: There's a current discussion that is taking place in the NFL,

212
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest with you, I get it, but

213
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of a waste of time. And we'll have

214
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: that for you coming up here in.

215
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: A little over ten minutes from now. Just going to

216
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: point out something that is not being talked about when

217
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: it comes to this little quote unquote debate that is

218
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: currently taking place in the NFL. And it's got a

219
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: lot to do with what's with what's happening this weekend

220
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Speaking of this weekend in the NFL,

221
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: this is another one that's out there, and this one

222
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: I find hilarious because apparently people are really insecure when

223
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: it comes to the National Football League. Apparently that's the case.

224
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: So if you haven't heard, Tom Brady is going to

225
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: be on the call for the Commanders and the Lions

226
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: game coming up later on Now. Tom Brady's called a

227
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: lot of games, but apparently this one is special and

228
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: this one's different, not just because it's a playoff game,

229
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: but because Tom Brady, who's part owner of the Raiders,

230
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: has interviewed two of the assistants for the Detroit Lions

231
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: for the Raiders job. Okay, but according to chief NFL

232
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: spokesman Brian McCarthy, quote, there have been no further restrictions

233
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: this week. Tom will continue to adhere to the broadcast

234
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: guidelines and also the anti tampering and Rooney Rule policies

235
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: end quote. Some people have speculated that maybe Tom Brady

236
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: has a quote unquote conflict of interest while calling this

237
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: game and also interviewing a couple of candidates who are

238
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: coaching in this game. And to that, I say, dude,

239
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: who cares? But who cares? This like this screams of insecurity.

240
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: Well wait a second, how could he do that, he's

241
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: interviewing God, these guys for the job. I mean, how

242
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: can we let him call games? You know, the Raiders

243
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: are gonna hire a new coach, and chances are whoever

244
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: it is that they hire Tom Brady's probably called a

245
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: game that that guy is called, or that guy's coached in.

246
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's just the reality. Like, if something goes

247
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: haywire and Mike McCarthy gets the Raiders job, is everybody

248
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh wait a second, Tom called like

249
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: seven Cowboys games to start out the year. Maybe he

250
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: was in on this. No, this is just the reality

251
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: when you bring in somebody that's either in demand or

252
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: has hands in multiple pots.

253
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: Is what it is.

254
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: You married into this relationship. You've got to deal with

255
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: what this relationship entails, and that involves everything. I say

256
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: it all the time. Don't date a stripper and then

257
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: get pissed when she comes home smelling like somebody else's cologne.

258
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: Like that, that's part of the gig. You signed up

259
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: for this. When you were okay with Tom Brady and

260
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: his involvement with the Raiders and Tom Brady calling games

261
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: for Fox, you signed up for this. This is part

262
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: of it. This is an uncomfortable situation. What if I mean,

263
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: what if?

264
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: There?

265
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: You know, he's got to be critical of Ben Johnson,

266
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: so he's got to be critical of him, So what hey,

267
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: you can't he's hiring him. So I got news for you.

268
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden something happens to Jared Goff

269
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: and Ben Johnson gives a signal up to the booth

270
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: and Tom Brady comes out and starts warming up on

271
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: the sideline, then let's have a discussion. But it's not

272
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: like Tom Brady's a bookie and he's trying to fix games,

273
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: Like can we stop? He's calling a game and there's

274
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: a guy on the sideline who he's interviewed for the

275
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: soul what like? Do you know how many people he's

276
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: come in contact with this year or like spoken to

277
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: this year that may or may not be on the

278
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: Raidar next year. Are we gonna go back and do

279
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 2: a deep dive and say, well, wait a second, why

280
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: did that guy pick the Raiders over somebody else. Let's

281
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: go back and investigate ooh, he shook hands with Tom

282
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: a little bit too long pregame and Week seven might

283
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: want to go do a deep dive on that dude,

284
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: this is part of the deal. Like you were okay

285
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: with this and now we want to look around and go, oh,

286
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. If that then don't

287
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: sign up for it. It's like every time there's some player

288
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 2: who like, remember the rules and restrictions last year that

289
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: we were clowning on the air about who could walk

290
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: through a casino in Vegas for the Super Bowl and

291
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: who couldn't, Like players aren't permitted to walk through a casino.

292
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: If you bump into a penny slot machine, you're gonna

293
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 2: have to miss the first quarter of the game. Like

294
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: can we just stop? If you want to be a

295
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: part of that world except everything that comes with that world,

296
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: Like if you wanted gambling in your sport and you

297
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: wanted gambling sponsorships and you wanted to embrace that world,

298
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: except everything that comes with that world. And what comes

299
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: with that world is it sometimes guys out there when

300
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: they get a little bored throw in a seven game parlay.

301
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: I mean like what like I don't know to tell you,

302
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: but you know, like if you have a kid, you

303
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 2: know this reality. If you take them into a store

304
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: that's got really expensive things, there's a decent chance. I'm

305
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: not saying it's a legitimate chance, like a real significant chance,

306
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: but there's at least some chance that they're going to

307
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: bump into something or grab something they shouldn't, or drop something,

308
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to try and talk your way

309
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: out of having to pay for it with the owner.

310
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: That's just the deal. I'm sorry. Happens all the time

311
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: every time I take my son out like a fingers

312
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: crossed that we don't get arrested. But that's the reason,

313
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: Like you sign up for that. If you don't like it,

314
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: stay home. But now, wait a second. He wants to

315
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: hire Ben Johnson, and well he can't call a game

316
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: to Ben Johnson's coat. Why not? Like why not? Like

317
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: what are we talking about here? This is this comes

318
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: with it? Like what's the worst case scenario? I mean

319
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: worst case scenario? Kevin Burkhardt throws out. And you know, Tom,

320
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: there's a reason why Ben Johnson is one of the

321
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: hottest coaching candidates in the NFL. Yeah, listen, he does

322
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: a lot of things well, does this well? Does that? Well?

323
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: Does it? What does that have to do with Ben

324
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: Johnson coaching offense for the Lions and Tom Brady calling

325
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: the game. Nothing. It has nothing to do with it

326
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: at all, whatsoever. I don't know if we're trying to

327
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: manufacture storylines. I don't know if people are, but it's

328
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: screams of insecurity, Like you're if you date a celebrity

329
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: or you are in a relationship with somebody who is

330
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: going to be in and around potential situations, but you

331
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: know that going into it. Don't get so scared about

332
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: quote unquote potential situations. This is just the reality when

333
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: you signed up and put these restrictions in but still

334
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: allowed Tom Brady to call games. This is how this works.

335
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: And when Tom Brady's agent comes out and says he

336
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: plans on calling games at Fox for the duration, people

337
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: are one, well, it's just gonna I mean, it's just

338
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: gonna be the like we're gonna have to worry about this. Well, no,

339
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: not really, because he calls the big games for Fox,

340
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: and I don't know, if you've seen the Raiders lately,

341
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: they're not in a whole lot of those. So I

342
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't worry about it, and I wouldn't worry about this either.

343
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox

344
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: at the Jonas Knox on X so we uh come

345
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: it up here and we'll call it, you know, three

346
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: four minutes from now. We are going to tell you

347
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: about how you know, there's a discussion, a debate about

348
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: a game this weekend in the NFL, and I'll tell

349
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: you why one aspect of it kind of doesn't matter.

350
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: We'll get into that for you here on FSR. But

351
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: for all the latest from around the world of sports,

352
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: we turn it over to the man who sits high

353
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: atop his throne, except when he doesn't have prior obligations,

354
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: the one I know on the ice clone. So it's

355
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: gonna be like that. I don't know. I was looking

356
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: at the schedule last week, just yet the great my glingard.

357
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: I noticed your name on there, and then you weren't

358
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: here last week.

359
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: So just just just wondering, by the way, a bitter

360
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 4: party of one your table is ready, what what sets

361
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 4: you off?

362
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: What triggered you to go there? Well, looking at the

363
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 2: schedule last week, you were on the schedule last week. Yeah,

364
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: and then the next thing you know, I'm singing by

365
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: Lomos yeah to Monsi four times because you know, showed

366
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: the program. So so put your thinking cap on, do

367
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 2: you think, thank you you Manzi joining us via Comrax

368
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: field tap.

369
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 4: Thank It's amazing what technology does. So in your I

370
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 4: won't say twisted unique mind? What's your hypothesis? Did you

371
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 4: say that?

372
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: Do you think that?

373
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 4: I woke up last Saturday morning? I said, boy, and

374
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 4: I'm so much bigger than Knox. Why do I need

375
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 4: to pander and be on his show? And then I

376
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: just I just called out, I mean.

377
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: Do you want me to guess? What?

378
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 4: What the I don't think you even need to guess?

379
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's totally obvious.

380
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: All right. So I heard that they were unveiling the

381
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: Stan Humphreys statue out in front of Qualcomm, and you

382
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: were the MC That's why I heard. So is that fair?

383
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: Is that a good enough guess?

384
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 4: It's it's close being as big as QUALCOMMB literally does

385
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: not exist anymore.

386
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: Oh sorry about that? Yeah, By the way, what is

387
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: in place of Qualcomm? The parking lot? They paid?

388
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 4: They paid, They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

389
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: But the new, the new snap Dragon Stadium is next door.

390
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: By the way, is that where the old there used

391
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: to be a Chili's right next to Qualcombe? The Chili's

392
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: is still there. The Chili's is still there. Yes, Yeah.

393
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: I went to a Chargers game. I think it was

394
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. You know, it was actually the

395
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 2: game that Ladanian Tomlinson broke the single season touchdown We're

396
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 2: no kidding, Yeah, against the Broncos, and I remember it

397
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: was Jake Butler was starting. Oh wow, the Broncos. Wow,

398
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: he was a rookie. They made the controversial decision to

399
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: sit Jake Plumber and turn it over to Jay Cutler

400
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: towards the end of the year, and the Chargers blew

401
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: the Broncos out. But I remember going over to the

402
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: Chili's next door, and because I hadn't eaten all day,

403
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: I ate so much that I was disgusted with myself.

404
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: Like I literally thought about just like blowing chunks in

405
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: the parking lot afterwards because I was so full.

406
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: You know, great Chili's to Chili's is making a resurgence,

407
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 4: Like Chili's over the last year has undergone a renaissance

408
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: and is now like deliriously profitable.

409
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: Did you know that, Lea, Yes? Why yes, they just

410
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: like they hired a new CEO.

411
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 4: They improved the quality of their food and Chili's is back, baby,

412
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 4: big good for them.

413
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: I smell an endorsement deal for you. By the way.

414
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 4: By the way, six head coaches have been higher in

415
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: the last two minutes. But we're just gonna gloss over

416
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: that back to you. No, the reason I was out,

417
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 4: as you know, is because I had commitments with the

418
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 4: Chargers broadcast and those commitments are no longer a part

419
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: of the equation.

420
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, tax season, you know what happened. So this whole

421
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: thing was just to rip off the scab, wasn't it.

422
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just you know, like, I'm just wondering

423
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 2: what happened. Look, I picked the Chargers. I did too go,

424
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: and I thought once I saw them settle for field

425
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: goals early, I said, okay.

426
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: Here we go.

427
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, such a great opportunities man. And it was,

428
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: and they blew it. By the way, My favorite part

429
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: of the discussion though afterwards, is well, I mean, they

430
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 2: can't win with Justin Herbert. He's got a ceiling because

431
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: he's going two in the playoffs. Okay, so they should

432
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: trade him, you know what they should do. They should

433
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: trade him because there's a ceiling here. Because that's how

434
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: we operate now like there's literally five other quarterbacks you

435
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: might take right now ahead of Justin Herbert in the NFL,

436
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: but the Chargers should maybe think about moving on because

437
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: he can't get it done in two playoff games.

438
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, you know, I now realize that I missed

439
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: your brilliance. This whole psychological gambit was just a roundabout

440
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 4: way to help me process my disappointment from last week.

441
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: So I appreciate that greatly as I get on to

442
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 4: the business of the day, And we actually do have

443
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: an update about the coaching carousel, the Dallas Cowboys announcing

444
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: a short time ago that they have completed an in

445
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 4: person interview with former Jets head coach Robert Sala for

446
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 4: their head coaching job. The Chicago Bears announced today they've

447
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 4: completed an interview with Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores

448
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 4: for their head coaching job. He HASPN reported today the

449
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 4: Bears requested permission from the Steelers to speak to Mike

450
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: Tomlin about their head coaching job at a potential trade form,

451
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 4: but the Steelers said no. Today's action kicks off at

452
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 4: four point thirty eastern as the Kansas City Chiefs host

453
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 4: the Houston Texans, with NFL media reporting the Texans running

454
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: back Joe Mixon and linebacker Aziz al Shier will both

455
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 4: play today. Mixon had been questionable with an ankle injury.

456
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 4: All Shire had been questionable due to a knee injury. Now, Jonas,

457
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: you're familiar with the phrase, don't kill the messenger, right, yeah, okay,

458
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: So don't kill the messenger here please. It's kind of complicated.

459
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 4: It's too detailed for me to get into here. But

460
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: a long story short. Because of certain contractual partnerships, I

461
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 4: am being forced to relay this next item before I

462
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 4: pass it back to you. Taylor Swift has arrived at

463
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: Arrowhead Stadium for today's game, and again, don't kill the messenger,

464
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: but I'm going to be I have been forced to

465
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 4: play the audio of her arriving here. She is being

466
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 4: driven by this phone camera in a cart, so here

467
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: it is so that is literally the audio of her

468
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: arriving at the game. And she is wearing like a

469
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: I'm a dude, so it's hard for me to describe

470
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 4: this stuff. She's wearing a jacket, black gloves like I

471
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 4: think it's a dress, and like black boots and so

472
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: do you By the.

473
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 2: Way, do you know how generic that audio is?

474
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 4: But it's the but but the point is, like I said,

475
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 4: don't kill the messenger. I was told to play that audio.

476
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: I'll pay card.

477
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: She was on that card. You think, like, this is

478
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: the equivalent. Do you have the sound ready? Yes? All right?

479
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: Let me throw to the sound. All right, right, hold on,

480
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw to it and and I'll make it obvious. Hey,

481
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: uh is the landscaper here? I don't know. Let me

482
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: open the window and check. Yeah, he's there. I want

483
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: to do it like save that that should be used. Hey,

484
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: now we go live to see whether or not Ben

485
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: Johnson has arrived in Las Vegas to take the Raider's

486
00:28:53,720 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: head coaching job. Like I should listen. I don't want to, like, well,

487
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: they're not in existence anymore, so I'll just I'll spoil

488
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: it for everybody. I remember, and you know this from

489
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: working in local radio, that sometimes you got to cut

490
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: corners because you don't have the ability that the networks do. Sure,

491
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: all right, So I remember doing updates and my program

492
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: director told me, Hey, for each update you do, I

493
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: want you to play sound. And I was like okay,

494
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: And it's like it's a small station, so so like

495
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: you have to be a jack of all trades. So

496
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: I did you know imaging, producing updates, hosted like all

497
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: these different things. I said, okay, well, you know we're

498
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: reporting on, you know, the super Bowl and back then

499
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: it was the Saint's Cold super Bowl. And I'm like,

500
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have any sound getting ready for

501
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: that because we don't have anybody there and we don't

502
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: have the ability to play anything. And he said, well,

503
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: get creative. So I found a generic cut of Reggie

504
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: Bush talking about a game earlier in the season. It

505
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: was like Week four and it's literally me throwing in

506
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: the update too. Saints running back Reggie Bush before the

507
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: big game. Yeah, listen, working forward to it. You know,

508
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: you live for a moment like this and it's a

509
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: great opportunity to go out there and try and get

510
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: a win. Saints Colts kicks off six point thirty like,

511
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: and that's that's what we had to do. So you

512
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: should just save that for any arrival anytime in sports.

513
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: And now we go now to see whether or not

514
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce has shown up to beat the hell out

515
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: of Ben Johnson, and just just save that in the system.

516
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: Generic arrival. Sound. That's what I call thinking outside the box.

517
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: And by the way, I do have to thank you

518
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: thanks again to what I always try and do around here.

519
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,520

546

572
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: talking about all week.

573
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: Pat Well, Jonas, let's start off with one that I

574
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 5: personally really do care. But what I want to know

575
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 5: is do you care that Japanese phenom pitcher Roki Sasaki

576
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: has chosen to join the Dodgers, who already are stacked

577
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 5: on the mound?

578
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: Do you care right now about that? Jonas? No, I

579
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: don't care. Well, Cutiful, It's just like, uh, boy, he

580
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: ended up with the Dodgers. Boy, what a stunner, what

581
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: a what a shocking development? Like why waste our time

582
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: with this whole Maybe it's the Blue Jays who's in

583
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: the running for Sasaki. Hey, where's he gonna end up? No,

584
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: he's gonna end up with the Dodgers, because the Dodgers

585
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: end up with everybody. Hey ta Oscar hernandez O. God,

586
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: he's getting interest from No, he's not going anywhere. Like

587
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: the whole the whole thing is just so pointless. Like

588
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: credit to the Dodgers, but it's kind of made all

589
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: these big sweepstakes additions Nolan void because they always end

590
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 2: up in the same spot.

591
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 5: Next, all right, Jonas, Well, do you care that the

592
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Rams a rookie linebacker Jared Verse? Well, he

593
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 5: was kind of vocal ahead of their playoff game against

594
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 5: the Eagles, and dude, he straight up was just saying

595
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 5: he absolutely hates the Eagle fans.

596
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: Do you care?

597
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean it adds a little bit, a

598
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: little bit of something to the matchup. I also commend

599
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 2: his bravery because that is a fan base that if

600
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: you want to go at they're going to go right

601
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: back at you. This isn't like the Bills Mafia Bill's

602
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: fan base, where like they'll donate to your charity after

603
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: the game or something like that. Eagles fans punched a

604
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: police horse during their Super Bowl run. They ate horse

605
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: feces off the ground on video in a Randall Cunningham

606
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: jersey after they a Super Bowl. That's their celebration. What

607
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: do you think it's going to be? Like if the

608
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: Rams are able to pull this off? And say, Jared

609
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: Verse comes up with the game winning stripsack, Like, how

610
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: do you think that's gonna go? I commend his bravery

611
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: and it adds a little something to what should be

612
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: a fun game.

613
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 5: Next all right, jonas Well, do you care that the

614
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 5: Miami Dolphins will be the first ever team to host

615
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 5: a future NFL game this year in twenty twenty five

616
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 5: in Madrid?

617
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but only because of this? I love it? Like,

618
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: why does Miami get the vacation? You know what I mean? Like,

619
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: of all the teams that doesn't need a getaway to Spain,

620
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: Miami feels like the one. Yet they're the team that's

621
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: gonna get it. I don't know, it just doesn't seem fair,

622
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: Like why don't you throw somebody else's bone in the NFL? Like,

623
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: you know, maybe a Green Bay even though they went

624
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: to Brazil, last year, or like one of these other

625
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: places to where you know, like listen, you know they

626
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 2: you know, they're in a rough part of the country.

627
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: You know, why don't we Why don't we send them elsewhere?

628
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: Send them over to Spain, let them enjoy the sights

629
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: and sounds and scenery especially, and then you know they

630
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: can come back and continue with their season. I don't know,

631
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 2: it just seems a little bit unfair.

632
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 5: Next, all right, Jones, Well do you care that Bill

633
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 5: Belichick while he has agreed to his terms, technically he

634
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 5: hasn't really signed his North Carolina contract deal yet.

635
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: No, I don't care about this. I mean, what's interesting

636
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: about is what's the delay? Why the wait? But I

637
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: can't imagine that he's gonna agree to this, Go through

638
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: the press conference, do the whole song and dance, go

639
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: out recruiting, and then just turn around and go and

640
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: your new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars is Bill Belichick?

641
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: To me? Yeah, I know, listen, coach, I agree with you.

642
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but we you know, we gotta

643
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: you know, put a bow on this whole thing.

644
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well do you care that Maverick Carter

645
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 3: is apparently trying to form a five billion dollar international

646
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: basketball league that consists of six six men's teams and

647
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 3: six women's teams.

648
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: Oh man, yeah, oh man, boy, this is so no, no,

649
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: don't care, God, Like, I hate this. Hey, Maverick, why

650
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: don't you donate some money to the NBA and why

651
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: don't you help them fix their product? Like why do

652
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 2: you do that? It's like a restaurant that's hemorrhaging money

653
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: because the menu sucks and they're like, hey, we're gonna

654
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: open up a second one. Okay, right right, you got it?

655
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 2: Like it just none of this makes any sense and

656
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: I couldn't care. Last next, all.

657
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 5: Right, Jonas, this one's the Papa this week a pick

658
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 5: of the week. Do you care that there are apparently

659
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: in Houston, there are drug addicted rats infesting a Houston

660
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: police evidence room.

661
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is love tremendous. Look are disgusting. They

662
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: should be eliminated. They serve no purpose whatsoever. And just

663
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: a piece of friendly advice, like if you see one rat,

664
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: there's never just one. There's more behind it. So you

665
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 2: got to put a stop to it immediately. They bleed

666
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: at a rapid pace. And so if you need to

667
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: go to a local hardware store and get one of

668
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: those tomcat traps, put a little peanut butter in the

669
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: cup and just wait one night and the next thing

670
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: you know that you come out and that you turn

671
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: that things head into a canoe. Like that's what you

672
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: need to put it. But if you're going to keep

673
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: them around, may as well let him, you know, do

674
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: some blow in a police evidence room next.

675
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 5: All right, jonas well, do you care that a stray

676
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 5: coyote in Humboldt Park, in a humbled part Aldi store

677
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 5: apparently sought refuge in the stores refrigerated produce section.

678
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what an idiot? I love it.

679
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 4: I love it.

680
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: Like first of all, like you go, you go into

681
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: an Ald in your coyote. Don't you think you went

682
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: right when everybody else went left? Like what a moron?

683
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: Like I guarantee that guy gets back to his buddies

684
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 2: or his family and they're like, where'd you go? Is that?

685
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: An all? D?

686
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:15,200

709
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: weekend in the NFL. I don't know if you've heard

710
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: about it. Ravens at the Bills It will be featured

711
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: like every other playoff game at the end of this

712
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: hour before we close up shop here on this Saturday,

713
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: in another edition of Knox Locks. But it really is

714
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: the main event of the weekend, as it should be.

715
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: It's just a tremendous matchup, and it's the closest as

716
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: far as a point spread goes. When you've got the

717
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: year that the Ravens have had, specifically the year Lamar

718
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Jackson has had, the arrival of Derrick Henry, whether or

719
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: not Zay Flowers plays it looks doubtful, which could have

720
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 2: an impact in the game. And then you've got Josh

721
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: Allen and the year he's had and the year the

722
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: Bills have had when there were some questions about, you know,

723
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: people on defense that were leaving. There was the Stefan

724
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: Digs stuff that was out there. What are they going

725
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: to do without Stefan Digg like all of that stuff,

726
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: And yet here we are, We've got this game and

727
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: the discussion is going to be Lamar Jackson versus Josh Allen.

728
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: And this is the big discussion when it comes to

729
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: the MVP in the NFL, Like, Hey, who's going to

730
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: win MVP? You know who deserves to win MVP, and

731
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: for the longest time, throughout the course of this year,

732
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 2: I was a firm believer that the MVP was going

733
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: to go to Josh Allen. And I still believe if

734
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 2: I was, you know, going to bet on who would

735
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: be MVP and who would get the NOD this year,

736
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be Josh Allen. But I

737
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: look at it and I go as the season went on,

738
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: especially over the past couple of days, especially over the

739
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: past couple of weeks, three four weeks, and you saw

740
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 2: how the seasons close, I just started to look at

741
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 2: it and going, well, listen, Lamar Jackson should get the MVP.

742
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: I think he's at a better year, but I think

743
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: that ultimately it's going to go to Josh Allen. Like

744
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 2: I think Josh Allen will get the MVP, but I

745
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: think that Lamar Jackson probably deserves it based on being

746
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: the better quarterback. And then Derrick Henry spoke out about

747
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 2: it and said, listen, you know, my involvement here shouldn't

748
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: deter people from voting for but I think there's a fatigue.

749
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 2: It feels like it's Josh Allen's turn. Whether you agree

750
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: with that narrative whatever you want. I mean, listen, some

751
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 2: people want to turn it into a race thing, like

752
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 2: I just okay, whatever, Like if you want to do

753
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 2: that and you want to you know, fill some time,

754
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: that's fine, you could do that. But the point is

755
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 2: this really is the big discussion Josh Allen versus Lamar Jackson,

756
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: and the discussion I've seen out there is, well, whose

757
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: legacy takes a bigger hit with the loss? Who needs

758
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: the win more for their legacy? You're forgetting They're still

759
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: gonna have to play Patrick Mahomes next week, right because

760
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 2: Kansas City is beating Houston. Sorry, I mean it's a

761
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: great story of the Houston Texans. I want to get

762
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: a shout out to Houston. Love Houston. You guys are

763
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 2: the best teams going home like they always do after

764
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 2: they get passed the wild card round. You do realize, though,

765
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: that Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen still has to face

766
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes next week. And you do realize Patrick Mahomes

767
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: like what he does accept when he faces Joe Burrow

768
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: and Tom Brady is win playoff games, including against Josh

769
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: Allen and Lamar Jackson. Like people, people are aware of

770
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: that right, So, like, while you're sitting here having the

771
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: discussion about legacy and who needs it more for their legacy?

772
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: What does it matter if they go and do what

773
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: they usually do and that's lose to Patrick Mahomes in

774
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: Kansas City next week? What are we talking about here?

775
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 2: That's like debating which pair of white shoes you should

776
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 2: wear out into the rain. It doesn't really matter. Oh

777
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: I want to go with that pair? Oh really, well

778
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: why not that pair of there? You know that's a

779
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: good point. I do like that pair. Hmm okay, yeah,

780
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go with that one. All right,

781
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 2: that works. And then you walk outside and it's mud

782
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: puddle after mud puddle after mud puddle after mud puddle.

783
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: It really doesn't matter. You could put on whatever you want.

784
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: All that changes the second you walk out that door.

785
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 2: Whatever conversation you want to have about legacy, ooh, legacy

786
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: for the two who needs this win more? Who for

787
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: their leg Dude, their legacy is going to be defined

788
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 2: by the boogeyman of the conference and the league as

789
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 2: it presently sits, And that's Patrick Mahomes. Do you know

790
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: how many careers have been altered because of guys like

791
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, Like how many Super Bowl

792
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: champions there could have been? How many more Hall of

793
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: Famers there could have been if not for those two?

794
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 2: Like this whole yeah, well that's a cute story. Oh yeah,

795
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 2: listen that. I get it. That's a cute that's a

796
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: fun one for the game. I'm not getting involved in

797
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: any of this, like, I'm not getting involved in any

798
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: of that discussion, because all of it is a mood point.

799
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: With the fact that you've got to deal with Patrick

800
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: Mahomes next week. Let's just enjoy the fact that this

801
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 2: is the best game of the weekend and these are

802
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 2: two great teams. Like whatever you want to say about

803
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 2: well what happens after this, well it doesn't really matter

804
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: because either one guy is gonna lose this week or

805
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 2: chances are they're probably gonna lose next week week. I'm

806
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: not calling my shot as of yet. We'll save that

807
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: for the Championship Round edition of Knox Locks. But I

808
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: look at it and go I get the debate, I

809
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: get the discussion. I get that it's a storyline. None

810
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: of it really matters when you've got that guy on

811
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: the back end of whatever you walk out of the

812
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: House with Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio at

813
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 2: the Jonas Knocks on X at the Jonas Knox on X.

814
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: All right, So, speaking of dumb discussions, we do this

815
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: a lot. Remember when you were a kid, you would

816
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: have like these debates about, Hey, who's gonna win King

00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 2: these like and like it's it's cool, but it's kind

830
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 2: of geeky because it's never gonna happen, you know what

831
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: I mean, Like it's it's never gonna happen. It's like

832
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 2: asking like a who do you got? And uh, you know,

833
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 2: if they were to throw on like on the undercart

834
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: of a Jake Paul fight, Like who do you got, like, uh,

835
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: the tooth fairy or Bigfoot. It's like I don't know, man,

836
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: Like what do you think the odds would be? Who

837
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: let's hey, let's go to somebody. It's just kind of

838
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: a you know, it's not gonna happen, like just not

839
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: gonna happen. And like sometimes we'll we'll get into these

840
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 2: conversations and sports that are kind of on the same

841
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: same path that just like stuff that's not going to happen,

842
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: like the Mike Tomlin getting traded from Pittsburgh and like

843
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 2: one of the reports was the Bears knocked on the

844
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 2: door and like another team knocked on the door to see, hey, Pittsburgh,

845
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: you're thinking about trading Mike Tomlin And they were like,

846
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 2: uh no, thank you. Though, like the what if of

847
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: that one, like it's not happening, Like that's fantasyland, fairy

848
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: tale stuff that's like you know what's behind the big

849
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: wooden door on Game of Thrones, like come on, like

850
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: like what like it's not happening. And there's been times

851
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 2: over the past, like a couple of years where those

852
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: discussions have come up in the NFL and I've just

853
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: been like, like did you really you really like you

854
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: really thought that, Like the Lamar Jackson, like, oh god,

855
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 2: he's played, remember that one. Lamar Jackson's played his final

856
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: game for the Baltimore Ravens because they can't get this

857
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: contract worked out and if they don't pay him, like

858
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson got paid, he's done. And the entire time

859
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: I said, do you really believe Deshaun Watson or Lamar

860
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 2: Jackson's gonna end up elsewhere because he's not gonna get

861
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 2: it to Shaun Watson contract, Like you really think that's

862
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: gonna happen, really, like you actually think that that's a

863
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 2: real thing, that that's gonna happen. And there's these other

864
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: like discussions that'll pop up throughout the course of the year,

865
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: and and you just go back and you look on

866
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 2: it and you go, why was that even a debate?

867
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 2: Like why were we even talking about the possibility of

868
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 2: that happening? Why and Mike Tomlin getting traded or Kyle

869
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: Shanahan getting traded or one of the like, none of

870
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: these things are going to happen. The Steelers aren't going

871
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: to trade him, Like that's that's not how this is

872
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 2: gonna on how this works. They're not. They're not going to.

873
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 2: And so when people throw out these hypothetical scenarios in

874
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 2: the ay, well like what if it's like I don't know, man,

875
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 2: Like what if I cut a fart and rolled down

876
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: the window and a winning lottery ticket flew inside and

877
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: was dropped off by a raven who happened to fly

878
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: overhead and said, Hey, go Baltimore, Like what, Like, what

879
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: are we talking about here? So we can try and

880
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: have these fancy nifty little discussions about hey, what if

881
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: this would happen? Hey, you know, what if what if

882
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 2: so and so was traded here and gone here? Like, Hey,

883
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: who who do you think would win? One on one?

884
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan or lebron? Hey what do you? I don't know, dude, Like,

885
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. But if you want to have that discussion,

886
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 2: you can have it. All I'm telling you is this

887
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan getting traded, Mike Tomlin getting traded, Kevin O'Connell

888
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 2: getting traded. Like all of these debates, like all of

889
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 2: these discussions that are being had, they don't matter because

890
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 2: they're not going to be had. There is no discussion.

891
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: It's not happening. Just like the Bigfoot versus Twoth Fairy

892
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 2: matchup on a Jake Paul undercard isn't going to happen.

893
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: And just like Santa Claus fighting an alien on top

894
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 2: of one of those drones in New Jersey isn't going

895
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: to happen. It's not happening, and it's kind of a

896
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 2: waste of time. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at

912
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: it a more game. That's right. Imagine walking into a

913
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 2: morgue and a football game breaks out. You might get

914
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:17,040

Speaker 2: little over ten minutes from now here from the tire

917
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: rack dot Com Studios. Apparently the momentum is real for

918
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: something to happen in the National Football League. Nobody can

919
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: figure out why, so we will investigate. That'll be yours here,

920
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 2: coming up a little over ten minutes from now from

921
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: the tire rack dot Com Studios. By the way, a

922
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 2: lot of positive feedback here coming in on the show.

923
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: People really fired up about what we've done so far.

924
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 2: On the program, Guy right s in, there's nothing Judice

925
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 2: Knox likes more than being in the fetal position with

926
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 2: TikTok ending and you not being able to emulate your

927
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 2: bleep Jack Mahomes while he dances so you can bleep

928
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: your bleep and bleep off like it's only fans. Tony

929
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 2: writes in, you Dodgers bleep smoker, You've got even more

930
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: bleep material now that another one has joined your boy

931
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: toy show. Hey o Tani and your Dodgers onesie think

932
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: Blue you bleep, I mean listened. Congratulations of the Dodgers.

933
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: You added a Sasaki. I mean it's you know, I

934
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 2: mean apparently nobody else can add anybody that's a big

935
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 2: name free agent or a big name that's out there.

936
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: It's got to only be you, unless it's you know,

937
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 2: Juan Soto and you know all all that fun stuff

938
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: that happened in New York. So look, I mean, go Dodgers.

939
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 2: I think it puts every other organization unnoticed that you

940
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: don't you're not willing to spend. Like Tom Rickett's the

941
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: Cubs owner who was talking about, well, you know, people

942
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 2: think we have all this money, and we don't. We

943
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 2: don't have the money like the Dodgers do. Stop, dude,

944
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 2: Like you make enough. I've been there multiple times the

945
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: past couple of years. You make enough like they've got

946
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 2: Like whatever you thought Wrigleyfield was before, it's completely changed now.

947
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 2: It is a money making bonanza for that family and

948
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 2: that organization. They just don't want to spend money. Snickel

949
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: and dime, that's it. I mean, they got Wrigly Field.

950
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 2: They don't need anything else. So yeah, listen, congratulations with

951
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, But no, I will not be wearing a

952
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 2: Dodgers onesie and doing what that gentleman thinks that I'm

953
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 2: going to be doing. So at the Jonas knocks On acts,

954
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: I will not retweet that one. By the way, it's

955
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 2: very offensive for multiple reason at the Jonas knocks On

956
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 2: axes where you can see the ones that we are

957
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 2: able to tweet and retweet here on the show. So

958
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: I talk about this sometimes that there are situations that

959
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: pop up and I like to call them more games.

960
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: Like imagine you walk into a morgue. There's a bunch

961
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: of freezers with like bodies in there. It's like really ominous.

962
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 2: Like you walk in there and it's like, oh boy,

963
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 2: like the just the mood. It's not like, you know,

964
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: you wouldn't imagine somebody walking into a place like that

965
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 2: and be like, hey, what do you want to grab

966
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 2: for lunch? Like hey, what do you think of the

967
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 2: wind chill outside? Kind of like no, like you're like

968
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 2: surrounded by corpses, Like it's a it's like a weird vibe.

969
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: But I call it like there's these more games that

970
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 2: pop up in sports, and it's really based on pre

971
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 2: like whatever happened prior to a fan base. So like

972
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 2: if a fan base has dealt with trauma, or dealt

973
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: with difficult losses or a lot of losses or heartbreaking losses,

974
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 2: like they're going to carry that with them, especially when

975
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: things get a little bit uncomfortable and you see it

976
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 2: pop up all over the place, like I just mentioned

977
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 2: the Cubs, Like I can tell you, like you go

978
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 2: to Wrigley Field back before they won a World Series

979
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 2: and if they were trailing in a playoff game and

980
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: like the seventh inning, the place felt like a morgue.

981
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: The expectation was, oh god, nothing good. Like you can

982
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: go there's certain environments, certain fan bases that just are

983
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 2: expecting that one of those potential situations that could pop

984
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 2: up this weekend and could pop up tonight is in Detroit,

985
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 2: where you've got an organization and you've got a fan

986
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 2: base that has never had this before ever, They've never

987
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 2: been a one seed and they've never been the super

988
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 2: Bowl favorite at this point, Like, those are the expectations,

989
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 2: like based on the betting odds, based on the odds

990
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 2: as it stands right now in a league and a playoffs.

991
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 2: That's got Patrick Mahomes who's one of the best to

992
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 2: ever do it, and all he does is go to

993
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 2: conference championship games or win Super bowls Lamar Jackson multiple

994
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: time MVP, arguably another MVP season this year. Josh Allen's

995
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 2: an MVP, Jaden Daniels who's a rock star and one

996
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 2: of the great rookies we've seen at quarterback in a

997
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 2: long time. And then you've got the Eagles who've got

998
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl pedigree, the Rams who have Super Bowl pedigree.

999
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 2: So with all of that, the one team that is

1000
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 2: favored to beat all of those other teams and be

1001
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 2: the only team standing at the end of this whole

1002
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: thing is the Lions. They are expected to win the

1003
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: Super Bowl based on the odds. They've never had that before,

1004
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 2: They've never dealt with that before, They've never played with

1005
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 2: the quote unquote lead before like this, And there is

1006
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 2: an expectation, and there's a vibe that comes with organizations

1007
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: who don't normally have that that something's going to go wrong,

1008
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 2: that something's going to fall apart, or something's going to happen,

1009
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 2: or something's going to go the other way, or I'm

1010
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 2: telling you that's a real thing. And if you are

1011
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 2: a fan of a team who has had either long

1012
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 2: periods of losing or difficult losses, or you can ask

1013
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 2: a Bills fan, you can go through whatever sport you

1014
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 2: want to. There is the expectation, Oh god, how are

1015
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 2: they going to screw this up? Like that's just the reality.

1016
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 2: Oh God, Like, how are they gonna lose this time?

1017
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: It's just that's the way this stuff works. And I'm

1018
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 2: just telling you right now, if all of a sudden,

1019
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 2: and I just get this weird vibe about this game,

1020
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden, the fourth quarter comes around

1021
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 2: and god forbid, there's five six minutes left and either

1022
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: it's tied and Washington's got the ball at midfield or

1023
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: Detroit's down by a field goal and they go three

1024
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 2: and out on a drive, that place is going to

1025
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 2: turn into a morgue because the expectation is everything around

1026
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 2: them is doom. You're just assuming something bad is going

1027
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 2: to happen. I think they're gonna win the game. I

1028
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: think they're significantly better than Washington is. But you can't

1029
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 2: help but have that vibe with that organization and that

1030
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 2: fan base, based on their history, there's just too much

1031
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: of it. There's certain people that, based on their history,

1032
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 2: they just assume the worst. It's not that they're being negative,

1033
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 2: they're just used to the negative. Well, yeah, you got

1034
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: you gotta retrain your brain. Okay. Kind of hard to

1035
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: retrain your brain when your brain only knows misery. Like

1036
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 2: That's just that's the way this stuff works. So despite

1037
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 2: what anybody wants to say and all that, those are

1038
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 2: previous to you and listen. They might be different players,

1039
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: and they might be different coaches, but that's the same

1040
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 2: fan base and they're the ones wearing those scars in

1041
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,439
Speaker 2: that stadium. So I'm just telling you, if it gets

1042
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 2: to the point in that game where they are either

1043
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 2: trailing or tied late, that place is going to turn

1044
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: into a Morgue. Turn left, turn right, look ahead, look down.

1045
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: It is locker after locker of frozen bodies with toe

1046
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 2: tags on them. If they start trailing in that game late.

1047
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: Jonas Knox here, Fox Sports Radio, let's go live to

1048
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 2: our I am staring at a dead body insider Chris

1049
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 2: Purfett for the latest credit.

1050
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 6: So, as a Lions fan, I do feel getting the

1051
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 6: sense from a lot of Lions fans out there there

1052
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 6: is a lot of confidence in them. But I have

1053
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 6: that feeling you kind of have Jonas where it's just

1054
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 6: like I am I am probably in a minority still,

1055
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 6: but I have never I am never calm during a

1056
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 6: Lions game.

1057
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 2: How could you look at the history of the team,

1058
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 2: how could you be?

1059
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 6: I just it's the expectations are high. They've rewarded a

1060
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 6: lot of fans expectations for fifteen games now, and it's

1061
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 6: I get it. There's a whole thing of this isn't

1062
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 6: the same old Lions. This is brand new Lions. But man,

1063
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 6: the vibes every game. I'm just like, I want them

1064
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 6: to win comfortably at the end, so I Am not

1065
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 6: bouncing off walls. And they've won games uncomfortably too, But

1066
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 6: it still doesn't make my my my shackles go away.

1067
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 6: It doesn't make me feel less nervous about everything. Look,

1068
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 6: it just happens to be I'm rewarded for the nervousness

1069
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 6: instead of punished usually.

1070

01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Do you think anybody was shocked at what happened in Arizona.

1074

Speaker 2: No God, no, no, Like if you're like our Lord

1077
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 2: when other cities have won a title and a Minnesota

1078
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 2: team hasn't. Like it's just like you just and it's

1079
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: not that well, you just you gotta stop being so negative.

1080
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 2: What do you mean, Like I'm looking at dead bodies

1081
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 2: there are there is season after season, like every freezer

1082
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 2: is filled with a season where my team thought they

1083
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 2: were going to do it or I thought, or there

1084
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 2: was an expectation they were going to do it and

1085
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 2: they didn't. Like you're looking like the bodies in the

1086
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: morgue at Ford Field tonight if they show up are

1087
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 2: all the expectations and all the other seasons where things

1088
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 2: went sideways, Like it's just it's trauma and it's warranted.

1089
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,479
Speaker 2: You're just assuming something bad's gonna happen, Like I don't

1090
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,959
Speaker 2: like the NFC title game last year, Oh god, Like

1091
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 2: like when Dan Campbell's going forward on fourth, like you

1092
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 2: mean to tell me there wasn't some portion of the

1093
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Lions on base. It's like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no.

1094
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 2: I did not feel it on the fourth down.

1095
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 6: But when the next possession, Jamiir Gibbs immediately fumbles on

1096
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 6: the first carry. That's when I turned into the morgue.

1097
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 6: That's when I got into the locker.

1098
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: And guaranteed it's something along the lines of of course,

1099
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 2: of course. Yeah, it's just it's snowballed. It's snowballed from there. Yeah. Look, man,

1121
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 2: the gum on his shoe. I don't think that they

1122
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,040

Speaker 4: I was gonna go with Jason Hansen, but no one

1165
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 4: more guess eminem.

1166
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 2: Nope, this time it is going to be LiAngelo Ball.

1167
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 2: What do you mean, mister Ball?

1168
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 4: As you know, the brother of NBA players Lonzo and

1169
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball, the thief that was just alleged by the

1170
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 4: Chinese government at the time.

1171
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Ledged well, what do you mean alleged? Didn't you like

1172
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 2: steal a bunch of stuff in a department store? Alleged alleged?

1173
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 4: But anyway, apparently I'll fill you in Jonas thanks to

1174
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 4: some frantic frantic googling in the last thirty seconds. Leangelo

1175
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 4: Ball is now actually a successful hip hop artist due

1176
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 4: to a song entitled Tweaker, which landed him a thirteen

1177
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 4: million dollar recording contract. Now the Lion what was that

1178
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 4: song about the Venice boardwalk? I have not well, actually

1179
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 4: I did google jump.

1180
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, Islo, can you know if this is is

1181
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 6: this radio safe to play? Coming back?

1182
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to guess no, no, no, no, it's not.

1183
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 2: That's why where I was going to go.

1184
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 4: Chris good point, because I actually, in hopes of playing

1185
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 4: portions of the song googled the lyrics and apparently it

1186
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 4: is not safe for all audiences. But anyway, the connection

1187
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 4: with the Lions apparently when they beat the Vikings to

1188
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 4: clench the one seed in the NFC, they were playing

1189
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 4: that song in the locker room. So now he is

1190
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 4: performing at ford Field tonight. Now, what do you think

1191
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 4: the appearance fee is for le Angela Ball? This and

1192
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,959
Speaker 4: this song Tweaker that he wrote about drug addicts?

1193
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 2: Like, what do you think what do you think that

1194
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 2: that song that that appearance would pops? Like what do

1195
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 2: you think that the Lions are shelling out? I'm gonna

1196
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 2: go h I'm gonna go two hundred bucks I winter

1197
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Bucks and like they'll they'll buy you a beer.

1198
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 4: I was saying that LiAngelo Ball was going to pay

1199
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 4: them to perform the song, and I but when I

1200
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 4: hear that he gets exposure. When when I hear that

1201
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 4: he's got a thirteen million dollar record contract as a

1202
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 4: result of one song, Maybe the appearance theme might be competitive.

1203
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way. What do they go in

1204
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Nickel and Dime for? Like, let me take you something.

1205
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 2: Rob Parkers had way too much influence on that organization. Now,

1206
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 2: like you're gonna go Nickel and Dime on a on

1207
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 2: a performer. This is a this is a game you've got,

01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 2: you know, broadcast that more at halftime of a game,

1222
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 2: like come on, dude, like Leangelo Ball, like what a nickel?

1223
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you right now that may impact my

1224
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 2: who I'm picking in that game in Knox Box.

1225
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest. It changes the vibe. And I

1226
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 4: don't have a good feeling about that.

1227
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: I get.

1228
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 4: Does I know he's successful. I know they that played

1229
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 4: it in the lock they played it in the locker room,

1230
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 4: But I don't get a good feeling. It would be

1231
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 4: one thing if he had an organic connection, if he

1232
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 4: grew up in Detroit or something, But that does change

1233
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 4: my feeling about this game.

1234
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like LiAngelo Ball, Okay, if we got a big

1235
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 2: playoff game, we're Detroit, like we're motown, baby, Like who

1236
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 2: you got coming in eminem Nah? Something better? Kid rock Nah?

1237
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 2: Something better? Ooh do tell Leangelo Ball like the other

1238
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 2: Ball brother who was caught stealing knockoff ray bands at

1239
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: a department store in Japan or China or overseas somewhere Russia,

1240
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 2: wherever the hell they were, Like, that's your happen, Jesus, Okay,

1241
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, that's going to impact how

1242
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 2: I feel about that game. Just letting everybody know right now. Uh,

1243
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 2: speaking of Detroit, Jonas Knoxy or Fox Sports Radio, thank

1244
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 2: you Isaac. That was and that's that's a kind of

1245
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 2: detailed update that you need as we get you set

1246
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 2: for the NFL playoffs continuing on later on. Now, I

1247
01:11:55,560 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 2: will say this about Detroit Ben Johnson, this buzz about

1248
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 2: him going to the Raiders, like apparently like there's some

1249
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 2: people that are saying it's a done deal, others just

1250
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 2: saying no, it could be Chicago. There's still real interest

1251
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 2: there and and a lot of people are wondering, Okay,

1252
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 2: so why would you want to go to Las Vegas?

1253
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 2: Like why would you want to be a part of that?

1254
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 2: And my only thought is this, if Ben Johnson looks

1255
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 2: around and he's so choosy about the destination and where

1256
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 2: he's going to go outside of just money and whatever else,

1257
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 2: maybe there was a promise that no matter what, you're

1258
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 2: going to be our guy. We're going to stand by

1259
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 2: you and work through whatever growing pains you've got, whatever

1260
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 2: lack of quarterback development you've got. Like we're going like

1261
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 2: there's that all right, But you can't just have the

1262
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 2: poll in one direction. There's got to be the push

1263
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 2: in the other direction. So what would push him away

1264
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 2: from Chicago and pull him towards Las Vegas. Well, the

1265
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 2: fact that they're basically going to hand him the keys

1266
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas and say we got your back, do

1267
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 2: whatever you want. And what would push him away from

1268
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 2: Chicago is his affinity for the Lions organization. Maybe he

1269
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be the guy to go inside the

1270
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 2: division and coach that team against his former team that

1271
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 2: he loves so much, so much so that he passed

1272
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 2: on openings last year to stay put and might even

1273
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 2: pass on openings this year to stay put because of

1274
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: how he feels about the organization. That's my only reasonable

1275
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 2: answer as to why he would want to do this. Otherwise,

1276
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:34,640
Speaker 2: roster quarterback history, none of it makes sense. None of

1277
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 2: it makes sense. So my only thought would be the

1278
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 2: push away from a dysfunctional organization and the pull towards

1279
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 2: another dysfunctional organization is because how one would directly impact

1280
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 2: one that he feels so strongly about, which would be

1281
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 2: the Lions Jonas Knox Here Fox Sports Radio at the

1301
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:43,799
Speaker 2: for this, Hey.

1302
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:48,799
Speaker 1: Lock it. Let's lock it and now and now Knox locks.

1303
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it wasn't great last week, but you

1304
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 2: know what, you finished the regular season the way we

1305
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 2: did well above five hundred. After all, you haters are

1306
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 2: assuming the worst. You can have a bad round, and

1307
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 2: we did last week. For some reason, I thought that

1308
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 2: the Chargers minus two and a half was a slam

1309
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 2: tunk at the Houston Texans. Next thing you know, they're

1310
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 2: settling for field goals early, justin Herbert's throwing interceptions like

1311
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 2: he's getting bonuses in his contract for it, and all

1312
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden it's a blowout and Houston is winning

1313
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 2: and winning outright, and I end up you know, owen

1314
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 2: one to start out the weekend, but don't worry about it.

1315
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,879
Speaker 2: Steelers plus nine and a half, that's got a hit, right, Nope,

1316
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 2: because they weren't very good and Baltimore was dominant, and

1317
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 2: Baltimore probably could have won that game by more than

1318
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 2: they did. It felt like they took their foot off

1319
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 2: the gas in the second half, and thus we end

1320
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 2: up out on the short end of the stick when

1321
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 2: it comes to that game. I love the Bills minus

1322
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 2: eight despite the hot start for the Denver Broncos. I

1323
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 2: still like Buffalo in that game, and we did hit

1324
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 2: on that Eagles minus four and a half. I thought

1325
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 2: green Bay was banged up going into the game. They

1326
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 2: didn't look good the prior week and it showed against

1327
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Philadelphia who won that game. And it's not like the

1328
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 2: Eagles were all that impressive. They're just a better team

1329
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 2: than Green Bay, who's a little bit overrated. As we

1330
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 2: headed into the postseason, and then for some reason, Baker

1331
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 2: Mayfield and the Bucks just couldn't hold onto the football.

1332
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 2: I felt really good about Tampa in that game and

1333
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 2: the turnover, the sloppy play late, having to kick that

1334
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 2: field goal, not being able to get a stop. Congratulations,

1335
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 2: Zaganzalez goes off the upright there and they end up,

1336
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 2: you know, kicking a field goal. Washington wins the game.

1337
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 2: Everybody loves the Washington Commanders man like they are for

1338
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 2: some reason, they really have become America's team when it

1339
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 2: comes to what they've done. All credit to them, but

1340
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 2: people loved this story about new ownership and Jaden Daniels

1341
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 2: and everything else that goes along with it. So congratulations

1342
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 2: with the Commanders. And then whatever happened to the Vikings

1343
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 2: minus two and a half. Awful long story, short two

1344
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 2: and four weekend last weekend. But we look to bounce back,

1345
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 2: and we do it today.

1346
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: Text Sinnsday Chiefs.

1347
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Chiefs here. I'm gonna take

1348
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 2: Kansas City and look, I don't like the fact that

1349
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: the line has moved. I would have preferred eight and

1350
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 2: a half. I'll take the minus nine. I think Kansas

1351
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 2: City figures this out and runs away with it. I

1352
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 2: think Houston's banged up. I know Joe Mixon is gonna play.

1353
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna get a couple of guys back

1354
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 2: and on defense. I'll sha here. All that being said,

1355
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 2: Kansas City's the better team. Kansas City's on a mission.

1356
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 2: The three peat starts this week, and I think their

1357
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,480
Speaker 2: true test comes next weekend against whoever wins. Buffalo Baltimore

1358
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 2: commander said Lions. I was gonna take the Lions, and

1359
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 2: then Isaac Lohenkron told me Leangel Oball is the halftime performer.

1360
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,959
Speaker 2: I'm taking Washington getting nine points at Ford Field. I'm sorry,

1361
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:49,799
Speaker 2: that is inexcusable. You're a professional team with music history

1362
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 2: on your side in Detroit, and you're going li Angelo

1363
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 2: ball to perform at halftime. Can't can't co sign on that?

1364
01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 2: Give me the commanders once again, Ram said, Eagles. I'll

1365
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 2: take Philly the conditions, the fact that Philly can run

1366
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 2: the ball and stop the run, and the Rams don't

1367
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 2: do either all that well unless Matt Stafford goes on

1368
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 2: a heater. In those conditions, I'll take the Eagles minus

1369
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:16,759
Speaker 2: a six, Ravens and Bills. I'll take Baltimore minus the point.

1370
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,519
