1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: I have to have better stop from the beginning, Jonas Knocks,

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: you thought you knew me. You didn't know a thing

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: about me.

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: He's crazier than a else wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks,

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: you heard me, Friends of Darkness is lighting up your

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: speakers to establish an alibi for the day.

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: Jonas Knocks.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm in portless world. You know we can all

10
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: agree on it. We can say it should be fixed.

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: It's not appropriate, it's not right, it's not correct, and

12
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: all of it won't meet a damn thing because it's

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: never gonna get changed. I'll tell you what it is

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. So there's been a lot

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: of discussion about what's going to play out and what's

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: going to happen in the aftermath of the finale of

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: the regular season, which is Sunday Night Football between the

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Lions and the Vikings, where you got a couple of

31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: fourteen win teams dueling it out in primetime for the

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: right to be the number one seed in the NFC,

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: have home field advantage, get the bye week, etc. Etc.

34
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: And there's a little bit of a problem now. First

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: and foremost, an amazing, amazing turnaround considering two years ago

36
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the Lions were in this exact same spot on Sunday

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: Night Football at lambeau Field and ended Aaron Rodgers' career

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: as a Packer by knocking them out of the postseason

39
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: when the Lions didn't have really anything to play for

40
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: because Seattle had already clinched earlier in the day. So

41
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: to see that they're two years removed from that and

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: here they are with an opportunity to be the one

43
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. Kind of a wild turn of

44
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: events for the Detroit Lions, and you're happy for the organization,

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: but there's you know, kind of an issue if they

46
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: lose all of a sudden, this magical, amazing year will

47
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: result in the five seed. So while we could sit

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: here and say, man, it's all on the line, well yeah,

49
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: sure is, it's also all on the line for the

50
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: losing team, which is gonna have to go on the road. Now,

51
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you would take your chances if you're that team and

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: you get you know, matched up against a Tampa Bay

53
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: or the rent like whatever it is. But now the

54
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: discussion becomes, what should they do about the playoff format?

55
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: This isn't right. That's a fourteen win team, whoever loses

56
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: that game that's gonna have to all of a sudden

57
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: go on the road in the first round of the postseason. Look,

58
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: we can all agree, like we could all sit here

59
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: and agree on that, it's not right. Am and Ross

60
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Saint Brown goes on his podcast he said, it's not fair.

61
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: They need to do something about it. We listen, I

62
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: totally agree. This is a pretty simple fix. If you

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: ask me. This is the way it should work. If

64
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: the division winner with the worst record allah the four

65
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: seed has a worse record than the five seed, then

66
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the five seed gets to host that game. I mean,

67
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: it's just that, Like that's easy, like just that simple,

68
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: quick fix, no problem at all. Here's the issue. It's

69
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: never going to happen. It's not happening because you want

70
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: to be able to put a premium and you want

71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: to be able to sell. How winning a division is

72
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the most important things, and it is really important.

73
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: But when you're a division like I don't know, the

74
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: NFC South or the AFC South, and for the most part,

75
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: when you look around that division it's a bag of vomit.

76
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: It kind of loses its luster a little bit. But

77
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: you still want to be able to sell the division

78
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: champ hats and all that stuff. So while we can

79
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: sit here and agree that the loser of this game

80
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: in primetime on Sunday night is getting the shaft, and

81
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: they are from a scheduling standpoint, it's never gonna happen.

82
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: They want to celebrate division championships, they want to celebrate

83
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: division titles, and so the NFL is going to continue

84
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: to push this playoff format and down our throats and

85
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have to eat it. So if you

86
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: are the Vikings and you're the Lions, and yeah, you've

87
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: been the two best teams in the conference, and you're

88
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to duel it out and what should be

89
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: a great game on Sunday night football, your season may

90
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: come down to the fact that the NFL's got a

91
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: goofy scheduling setup when it comes to the playoffs, and

92
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: who the hell knows if you go listen, this happened

93
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: years ago. The Saints were probably a better team than

94
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, but Seattle won a division. The Saints had

95
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: to go to Seattle to play that game, and that's

96
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: when Marshawn Lynch had the runs. Seattle upset him, and

97
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: next thing you know, New Orleans is going home with

98
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: no home playoff game. So it's not a foregone conclusion

99
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: that whoever is the five seed ends up knocking off

100
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: the four seed. We've seen it happen before. To where

101
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: that home playoff game and that home field advantage counts,

102
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: you would give them the advantage. But as it stands

103
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: right now, the losers of that game is going to

104
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: get the cheft because the NFL does this and they're

105
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: probably not changing at anytime soon. Jonas Knox he or

106
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Now, let's talk about a flattering moment

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Flattering you see how many people are

108
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: interviewing for the Jets openings. I mean like prominent people,

109
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: like people you either see on TV or like the

110
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: biggest coaching candidates out there. I mean, look, Mike Rabel

111
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: is the guy this offseason, probably the most popular head

112
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: coach candidate next to Ben Johnson. Mike Rabel's that guy.

113
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel has just interviewed for the New York Jets. Reportedly,

114
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: that happened Friday. Rex Ryan is next in line. He's

115
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: going to be interviewing for the Jets job. You've got

116
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Lewis Rittick, who's already interviewed for the GM vacancy. Mike

117
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Tannenbaum's helping in the search. He's on TV. Like, if

118
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: you are the Jets and you're a Jets fan, you

119
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: got to be looking around going what a world. Everybody

120
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: wants to be a part of this organization. This is amazing.

121
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: It's like a guy at his bachelor party. It's getting

122
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: all the attention in the world. My god, Like, can

123
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: you believe this? I got news for you, buddy. If

124
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: you weren't getting married, they'd be asking you to clean

125
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: up the table, thinking you were a bus boy. This

126
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: is the the best it's gonna get for the Jets

127
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: this offseason, and it ain't even close. And that's just

128
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: the facts. Who the f would want that job? Knowing

129
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: everything you know about that owner and all the stuff

130
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: that has come out this season about how things operate there.

131
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Do you think if Mike Frable has a choice, all

132
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: things being equal, between the Jets and fill in the blank,

133
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: you don't think he would prefer to go elsewhere? Like

134
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: you don't think like Rex Ryan's interviewing for the Jets job.

135
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: What other jobs is he interviewing for? Oh? That's right, hey,

136
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: But look at all these TV analysts guys on TV

137
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: they're like, doesn't this fit the narrative and discussion about

138
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: the Jets, and that Woodie Johnson and really really like

139
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: focuses on what they say about them in the media,

140
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: and Woody Johnson really focused, like he really cares about

141
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: that stuff. For Christ's sake. He's got one son named Jack,

142
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: another name Brick, and they use a guy by the

143
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: name of Madden to evaluate players. You can't make this

144
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: stuff up. So when you see like all these big

145
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: names and all these it's like, oh my god, like

146
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: who would what? Dude? Like, come on, Frabel's going through

147
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: the interview process because he's creating a market for himself.

148
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: But why if you've got options, would you choose that place?

149
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: And it's not an indictment on the on the fan base.

150
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: It's not an indictment on the players there. They've got

151
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: good players there. They've got a good roster. Joe Douglas

152
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job building that roster. You know.

153
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: He was fired and was so bummed out about it.

154
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes later he was fishing off a pier drinking

Speaker 1: infrastructure there, Like how many it's one thing if like, hey,

158

Speaker 1: came out and he spoke with Diana Rossini of the

172
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: on a unicycle flipping bowling pins up in the air.

173
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: You've got a guy looks a lot like Seacreed and

174
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: Roy and minus the missing throat. He's got a lion

175
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: and a tiger that's going to jump through a hoop. Like,

176
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Listen, welcome to the Jets. It's

177
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: not the circus. Everybody says it is. Okay, here meet

178
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: the family. Jack and Bricker in the other room playing

179
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: video games, trying to help build the roster. What the

180
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: f like? If you've got options, why are you going there,

181
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: it's like the Panthers job. Like I commend Dave Canalis,

182
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: who anybody who's talked about Dave Canal says he is

183
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the nicest guy, most optimistic, positive, upbeat guy in the world,

184
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: Like the most positive, upbeat guy in the world. And

185
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: he's done a tremendous job with Bryce Young and rebuilding

186
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: his confidence. And Bryce Young's played the best football of

187
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: his career. But let's be honest here, after seeing what

188
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: happened to the previous coaches that were there, how many

189
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: guys who are knowing the business and have other options

190
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: or looking at the Panthers and going oh yeah, hell

191
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I mean the Zach Rosenblatt had a big

192
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: deep dive on Mike Rabel's offseason. Mike Rabel could have

193
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: interviewed for the Panthers' job last year. He might have

194
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: even kicked the tires on it and then realized, yeah,

195
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: we're good here, thank you, thank you all good here.

196
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: So everything I needed to see. So while we could

197
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: sit here and talk about, hey, the Jets are interviewing

198
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: this guy and that guy, and this guy's in the building,

199
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: I got news for you. This is the best it's

200
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: going to get I would be shocked if Mike Rabel

201
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: said yes to that job. Rex Ryan would be awesome.

202
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: I like Rex Ryan. It's been you know how deprived

203
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: we are as football fans, like we get everything in

204
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's been years. We are starving for a

205
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: head coach with a foot fetish. We gotta have it

206
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: and he'll give it to us. So I hope Rex

207
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: Ryan gets a job and by the way, did a

208
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: damn good job while he was there, because other than that,

209
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell would want to go

210
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: to a place which single handedly chased off Bill Parcells

211
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick, you know, two of the greatest to

212
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,920

00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,480

235
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: we are going to, for the final time this football season,

236
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: hand out our tg FG Game of the Weekend. I

237
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: think this one's going to be a surprise. This one

238
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: is going to be a surprise because it does involve

239
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: a playoff team. So that'll be yours here again, coming

240
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: up a little over ten minutes from now. So, now

241
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: is the time of the year where you start to discuss,

242
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, like different awards in the NFL, like different

243
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, potential awards that are out there, and a

244
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of these feel like they're pretty cut and dry,

245
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, like they were. You know, some of them

246
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: are a little weird, you know. I'll be honest with you.

247
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: And we had this discussion yesterday on Two Pros and

248
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: a Cup of Joe where I don't understand how anybody

249
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: puts Jade and Daniels as a Pro Bowl quarterback on

250
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: the NFC side over Baker Mayfield. I don't get it. Sorry,

251
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: don't get it. Baker Mayfield had a better year. I

252
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: know that. You know, everyone wants to push the narrative

253
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: and you know they want to kiss ass to the

254
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: commanders for some reason because they feel bad about the

255
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Dan Snyder era. So now because he's not there, we

256
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: want to celebrate everything they do as if it's the

257
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: greatest thing in the world. I get all that, So cool,

258
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I got it, got it, understand that. But how you

259
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: look at those two years between Jade and Daniels and

260
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and think that he had a better one

261
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: than Baker Just it doesn't make sense at all. Just doesn't.

262
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: You can try and manipulate the numbers and point to

263
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: what it doesn't make sense. It just doesn't. So but whatever, listen,

264
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: it's a Pro Bowl. And by the way, let's be

265
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: honest here, the Pro Bowl sucks. Whatever it is, it's

266
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: not a game anymore. It's a bunch of like rinky

267
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: dink funny like, oh, let's play flag football, you know,

268
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: like it's almost like it's double there. You're gonna have

269
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: like some offensive linemen go down a chocolate slide and

270
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: pull a flag out of a giant nose, and then

271
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: another guy right ride a tricycle around in a chocolate

272
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: muddy pit. Like the whole thing's it's a goofball fest.

273
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Second left Honolulu. I lost all respect for the Pro Bowl.

274
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: But I digress. There's all these other awards that are

275
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: out there. You know, there's some stuff that are out there,

276
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: and you know, they feel pretty cut and dry, Like

277
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: MVP feels like it's gonna go to Josh Allen. I'm

278
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: leaning more towards Lamar Jackson at this point. I also

279
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: think of Lamar Jackson lights up the Browns and Josh

280
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Allen's just playing like a series to keep his consecutive

281
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: game streak. A lot, I don't know, feels feels like

282
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: that should be more of a discussion. But for whatever reason,

283
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: looking at the betting odds, it's not you know, the

284
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: player of the year Saquon Barkley, that's over coach of

285
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: the year, Kevin O'Connell, that's over comeback player of the year.

286
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold is your favorite right now currently on DraftKings

287
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: for comeback player of the year over Joe Burrow. Got

288
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: a question for you, what's he coming back from? You

289
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like Burrow was injured. He's coming

290
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: off an injury, and if we remember this correctly, during

291
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: the off season, there was questions about whether or not

292
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: he would ever get back, like he talked about questioning

293
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: his own mortality and all of those things about you know,

294
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: the injury and the wrist and could he group of football.

295
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: You remember there was that viral video earlier in the

296
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: year where he was like holding onto a water bottle, like,

297
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: oh god, something's wrong with Joe Burrow. And all he's

298
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: done since then is put together the best season of

299
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: his career, like he legitimately could be an MVP candidate.

300
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: And Sam Darnolds had a great year, But what's he

301
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: coming back from? Like it doesn't like you know it

302
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense, Like he just didn't play because

303
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: of the situation he was in and he was a backup.

304
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: So now he's like, what are we doing here? And look,

305
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: it's it's not the end of the world. It's just

306
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: an award. But if we're having a discussion about the award, like,

307
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't it make some sense? Like I remember a couple

308
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: of years ago, Deshaun Watson was one of the favorites

309
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: to be Comeback Player of the Year. And I'm thinking

310
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: to myself, I think we talked about on the show

311
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: coming back from what the grab lab the guy got

312
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: suspended because he was a weirdo? Why why is this

313
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: being like I could actually understand next year, to be

314
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: honest with you, like tours Achilles, Like, I totally get it,

315
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: but what are we like? What come like from what?

316
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: Like it's got to add up at a certain level,

317
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: and it doesn't. And Sam Darnold's had a great year

318
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great story and I've said

319
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: it and I don't think Minnesota should should go away

320
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: from Sam Donald. I think they should figure out a

321
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: way to sign him up long term. And there was

322
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: some speculation about JJ McCarthy would they listen to offers? Maybe,

323
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: and maybe you're one of these teams is on the

324
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: outside looking at a quarterback like the Raiders because you

325
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: won a couple of games at the end of the

326
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: year and you pissed off your fan base. Maybe at

327
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy would make some sense. Totally understand it. Sam

328
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Donald deserves an opportunity at that job long term. He's

329
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: been tremendous. He's been fantastic. But if we're talking about

330
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: like individual awards, it's like comeback Player of the Year

331
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: from what That's like a guy who's late three weeks

332
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: in a row and then one day he shows up

333
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes early and he's like, I can't get a

334
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: little credit here, Like for what do you mean? I

335
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: was here before everybody. I showed up to the office first. Yeah,

336
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: but you showed up last, Like what do you No,

337
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: you don't get rewarded for that. That's the expectation. Sam

338
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: Donald has been great. I don't know that you reward

339
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: him with comeback Player of the Year because what's he

340
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: coming back from? Again? Does this mean he's because the

341
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: odds say that he's, you know, a slight favorite on DraftKings. No,

342
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: I mean, that doesn't mean he's gonna get it, but

343
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: I look at it and I go Joe Burrow is

344
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: the slam dunk, and it doesn't make any sense to

345
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: even factor in anybody else, like JK. Dobbins is in

346
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: the conversation, you know, like if you remember, like like

347
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: this one actually you know, stirred up some emotions last

348
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: year because Joe Flacco won it last year and he

349
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: got it over tomor Hamlin, you know, which I think

350
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: pissed a lot of people off. Like there are just

351
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: certain things that the NFL does where you're like, well

352
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't really add up, That doesn't make any sense.

353
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: This one doesn't make any sense. Like Sam Donald's just

354
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: coming back from not playing because of the depth chart.

355
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow wasn't playing because there was some people that

356
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: thought his career could be in jeopardy. Seems easy to me,

357
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: but we'll see how it plays out, especially after this weekend.

358

Speaker 1: Game of the Week award coming up here in just

368
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: a couple of moments from now. But first for all

369
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: the latest from sports. This is a man that is

370
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: royalty through and through. Am ready if you do not

371
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: roll out a red carpet in your ears for him.

372
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 4: He's not making this up.

373
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: He'll kick you in the balls through the radio, through

374
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: the way. I tell you to put some respect on

375
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: his name.

376
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: Amazing what they can do with technology these days, isn't it.

377
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: Most people have a chair in the studio. This man

378
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: has a seat high atop everybody else. A throne, if

379
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: you will. In the year, I have to present to

380
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: the the first update of the day, the one and

381
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: only Sir Isaac Longkron.

382
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: Honestly, that music was not majestic enough. I'm afraid.

383
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, I sound like this because just raising the

384
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: volume is not gonna help. The reason I sound like

385
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: this is because my throne is so high, I have

386
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: to lower myself down in order to just reach the microphone. True, Jonas, Yeah,

387
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: that is a fact. By the way, do we have

388
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: any royal music? Wasn't there like some royal like castle music?

389
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: Like I actually have live in person trumpeters. Oh yeah,

390
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: trumpets follow me around. But unfortunately all that. Yeah, they

391
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: were booked for another gig today. They're doing a bar

392
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: Mitzvat in Silmar. Actually, oh that makes sense.

393
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 5: There they are.

394
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: Right there, that's what we did. By the way, high

395
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: marks on the double dare reference from earlier. You like

396
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: that sificity and the knowledge of the physical challenges brought

397
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: back warm memories. I had completely forgotten about the gigantic

398
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: nostril that they had to reach into, right, It was very,

399
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: very weird like but Nickelodeon had a couple of shows

400
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: back in the day. Remember what would you do? Yes,

401
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: Stude Ranch, Yes, Dude Ranch was big back in the day.

402
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: Was that the one who had God? What was the

403
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: guy a buttonick? Was that the guy's name? I thought

404
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: it was? It was that's a backup offensive. I'm in

405
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: for the Carolina. There was, there was, there was Donkey Lips,

406
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: and there was I thought it was button Nick. Okay,

407
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to send me down the rabbit hole.

408
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: But someone like Nilely super famous was on that show

409
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: as our salute your shorts was. The other was another

410
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: one as well.

411
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 4: It was about a camp or something.

412
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, you know, I feel bad for kids

413
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: these days because there's really nothing equivalent the Double Dare

414
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: Saved by the Bell. I mean, what do kids today

415
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: have besides you know, billionaire YouTubers with vapid content on

416
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: their channels. Oh TikTok. Just you know, a Brazilian shaking

417
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: her ass. You know that's all you need. Who needs

418
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: double there, I suppose. But the sort of the sort

419
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: of character the Double Dare and Saved by the Bell built,

420
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: it cannot be duplicated. I'm with you.

421
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: When did we turn into grumpy old men? Anyway?

422
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: We start Jonas in the National Football League and a

423
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: big story today emerging out of Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay

424

Speaker 1: Buccaneers have placed safety Jordan Whitehead on the reserve slash

425
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: non football injury list after he was involved in a

426
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: car accident earlier today on his way to the Buccaneers

427
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: practice facility. The Tampa Bay Times newspaper additionally reporting that

428

Speaker 1: Whitehead is okay, but he is not expected to return

429
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: this season. Now, Tampa Bay and its regular season finale tomorrow,

430
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: is hosting the New Orleans Saints. They can clinch a

431

Speaker 1: playoff spot and the NFC South Division Championship with a

432
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: win or tie or a Falcons loss or tie tomorrow

433
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: to the Carolina Panthers. Multiple outlets reported today that Rex

434
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Ryan will interview for the Jets head coaching job on Tuesday.

435

Speaker 1: Raven lost. Now for the Bengals to make the playoffs,

442
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: they would need to win and have the Broncos and

443
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: Dolphins both lose tomorrow.

444
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: Now that's what I call a double dare back to you.

445
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,120

Speaker 1: we're going to We're going to tell you the brutal

454

Speaker 1: truth about a lot of candy ass stories you've been

00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: force fed throughout the course of the week. And that's

456
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,080

Speaker 1: from now Easy peasy, right now. Though this is something

Speaker 1: we've been doing throughout the course of the football season,

459
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: we do it. It is a tradition unlike any other

460
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: where we celebrate games that you know, probably wouldn't get

461
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot of attention, a lot of notoriety. Now, there

462
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: used to be a thing back in the day where

463
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: when high definition TV used to come out during the

464
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: NFL games for Sunday Ticket, there was always one game

465
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: that didn't warrant HD. It was the SD standard deaf.

466
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: So while everything else looked great on TV, it was

467
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: that one game with the sports bar that you were like,

468
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: what's the score is that? A? Is that the end

469
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: zone or the first down marker. You couldn't figure it

470
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: out because that game just didn't deserve the HD treatment.

471
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: And so we decided, well, since those days are gone,

472
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: why don't we go ahead and give an award out

473
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: to the game that you probably wouldn't watch unless you

474
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: were actually gambling on it, because who cares? So, with

475
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: that being said and without further ado, it is the

476
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: Week eighteen edition of that r TGFG Game of the

477
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: Week award. For Week eighteen, the final of the season

478
00:28:50,840 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: goes too Giant City Ghosts one pm Eastern time. That

479
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: you're probably thinking to yourself, the Eagles are going to

480
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs, this is a good football team. Why would

481
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: they be involved in this? Well, nobody's playing. Saquon Barkley's

482
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: not even going for the record, so who cares. We

483
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: have no idea what the hell the Giants are going

484
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: to do. The Giants are a terrible football team, and

485
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: they won a game last week and pissed off their

486
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: fan base a La Raider fans because it might have

487
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: cost him an opportunity to draft Shador Sanders. And so

488
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: if that's the case, and they don't want to win games,

489
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: and the Eagles don't care about winning this game because

490
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: they've already clinched the two seed. Stans reason to me

491
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: that this would be the recipient of the week eighteen

492
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: edition of our TGFG Game of the Week Award. Now

493
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: some people are thinking, well, what about the Jags and

494
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: the Colts. I'll tell you why you watch that game,

495
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: because Brady Quinn's going to be on the call. So

496
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: that's reason enough to watch that game. So you just

497
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: keep your mouth shut, you turn that game on, and

498
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: you pay your respects to Brady Quinn. But as far

499
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: as this Giants Eagles game, who gives a rip TGFG

500
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: Game of the Week award goes to Philly, New York

501
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: one Eastern time, because if not for gambling, who the

502
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: hell cares? Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the

Speaker 3: There are so many stories in the world of sports,

533
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 3: and most of them are a complete waste of time.

534
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: DMG reports. Let's get kinky.

535
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 3: Here's some of the big stories from the last week.

536
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: But Jonas, the real question is do you care?

537
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? For that, we turn it over to our executive

538
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: producer Patrick Sweek and to find out what the hell

539
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: people have been talking about all week?

540
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: Pat Well, Jonas, this one's been a hot one talked

541
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: about this whole week. Do you care that Jimmy Butler

542
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 5: said he needs to find joy and was vocal about

543
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 5: his frustrations with the Miami Heat.

544
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I find it hilarious. They suspended him

545
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: seven games, They're gonna try and trade him. It's just

546
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: so funny, man, how the tables have turned. And now,

547
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, you start to get the reality,

548
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: the dose of reality that is what's gone on there.

549
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Because you remember when they were going on their run,

550
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: like people were lining up to kiss Jimmy Butler's ass.

551
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: They couldn't wait to talk about all playoff Jimmy and

552
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: he's he's at and he is a great player and

553
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: he's been a fun player. But dude, like there's been

554
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: multiple times where like he you know tried to fight you,

555
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: Donnis Haslam, or there was an issue there, or him

556
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: and Eric Spolster didn't get along and Spolster threw the

557
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: clipboard on the ground at him, and just there's been

558
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: stuff that's been going on there for a little while now.

559
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: He was talking last year in the playoffs after he

560
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: got hurt and pat Riley told him to shut the

561
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: hell up. It seemed like the end was near. It

562
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: seemed like this had run its course, and apparently it has.

563
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: And now they're listening to trade offers next.

564
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: Well, Jonas, we're gonna go to the NFL on this one.

565
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: Do you care that? Sakuan Barkley, as we all know,

566
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 5: we'll be sitting out for the final game. And obviously

567
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 5: that means he's not breaking the rushing record.

568
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: No, I don't care. Doesn't mean Look what he if

569
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: he goes out there and he gets hurt, who do

570
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: you think is gonna get buried for that? It's gonna

571
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: be Nick Sirianni. He's gonna get destroyed, just like he

572
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: gets destroyed for every issue that pops up there in Philadelphia.

573
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: If Saquon Barkley was pounding the table and saying I

574
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: want the record. I want the record. I find it

575
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: hard to believe they would overrule him. I think they

576
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: probably all got together. I think Saquon Barkley was kind

577
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: of in different about the whole thing, and they said,

578
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just play it safe. You know,

579
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: we're one hundred yards away. It's not like you know,

580
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: we're five six yards away. You're gonna have to do

581
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: some work. It's not worth it if we're trying to

582
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. And to me, it made all

583
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: the sense of the world.

584
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 5: Next, all right, Jonas, Well, do you care that the

585
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 5: coveted MLB free agent Roki Sasaki from Japan he told

586
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 5: baseball teams that they quote cannot bring team players into

587
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 5: meetings while these teams are courting him to their organizations.

588
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: Do you care about that? Yeah? I love it. You

589
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: realize there's going to be like players all around you.

590
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: This isn't like an individual sport. You know. I don't

591
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: really know that or not, but okay, I just listen.

592
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: Everyone keeps talking about how how great this guy is

593
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: and like he's the next big thing, and you know,

594
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: you know there's an opportunity to add him. You gotta

595
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: do it. But like it feels like, you know, it

596
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: may be a little bit more of a pain in

597
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: the ass, and some people realize and then we get

598
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: to see who it'll be. But ultimately it'll probably be

599
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: the Dodgers or some other team that usually makes all

600
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: the moves while all the other teams that are in

601
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: contention are like, god, I know, you're just way out

602
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: of our price range.

603
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 5: Okay, next, all right, well do you care Jonas that?

604
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 5: Charles Barkley went on a recent tirade on JJ Reddick

605
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 5: of all people. This was on Inside the NBA a

606
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 5: few days ago. He called him out mid broadcast and

607
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 5: was totally just beefing and just dissing him.

608
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: Do you care about that? Oh? Yeah, I think it's great.

609
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: I think it's because here's this is what's so funny

610
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: about this. So people that want to celebrate the NBA

611
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: and the fanboys that cover the NBA and the media,

612
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of them, listen, they work for ESPN.

613
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: They've got a vested interest, Like they push so hard.

614
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: They want the NBA to be as popular as the NFL.

615
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: So bad, so bad. They were running around celebrating, oh

616
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: my god, our games are so much better on Christmas?

617
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: Did you see how much better our product was. And

618
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, twenty plus million people were watching the

619
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: NFL games compared to your five and that was on

620
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: Netflix stop, not even in the same stratosphere. But like,

621
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: instead of just acknowledging that what Barkley says about the

622
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: quality of the game and all the other flaws of

623
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: the game, instead of just acknowledging that and saying, you

624
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: know what, you're right, we should get better, because it's

625
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: not like Barkley hasn't come up with ideas before. He's

626
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: been on the same page as I've been for years now. Dude,

627
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: why are we starting the season where we're starting it.

628
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: We're competing against the NFL college football postseason. It doesn't

629
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: make sense. Let's push the season back. Start it on

630
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: Christmas Day? Like do what to? Just push the season back?

631
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: That way you're unopposed like the playoffs, more people can

632
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: watch it, Like like what are we doing here? But

633
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: like instead of people like thinking about these ideas, you

634
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: know what the NBA does, Like, Oh, here's a goofy

635
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: mid season tournament that nobody cares about, including our own

636
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: players that don't show up to the after party. Here's

637
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: that And then they get all defensive and they're like, well,

638
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't help that, you know, Charles Barkley and those

639
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: guys are like talking about how bad the league is.

640
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: They're they're a deterrent to the league. If inside the

641
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: NBA didn't exist, do you know how many more how

642
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: few people would watch? Like that's really like appointment television

643
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: for the NBA. They've done more to push the product

644
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: of the NBA and get people talking about NBA related

645
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: stories than just about anybody in the sport maybe in

646
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: the history of the sport. It's the best studio show

647
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: that's ever existed. But they're the problem. None of it

648
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: makes any sense. They don't want to address the issue.

649
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: They just want to point fingers as to all what

650
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: who are all the haters? Who's saying, all, dude, the

651
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: product is bad right now, you need to fix it?

652
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: End of story.

653
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 5: Next All right, jonas Well, still on the NBA. Do

654
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 5: you care that Lebron said, uh break after breaking Michael

655
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 5: Jordan's thirty point record. He it was a humbling experience.

656
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,959
Speaker 5: Do you care that he thinks it's humbling?

657
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: No? No, I couldn't care less. I don't care. I mean,

658
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: it was an incredible feat. But like now we're like

659
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: making up like you know, stats of like, oh he's

660
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: got the most thirty point games. Oh, I Lebron's. It's like, dude,

661
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: I just want to know why he disappeared, that's all.

662
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: That's all. I just want to know where he went.

663
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: You know, why did he take two weeks off back

664
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: in like you know, twenty eleven or twenty twelve. That

665
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: was kind of weird, wasn't it. You know, it's kind

666
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: of weird. I just like to know, like where all

667
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: these you know, we hear about all these Michael Jordan

668
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: left to go play baseball because of a gambling debt

669
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: or whatever those stories. Can we just get the answers.

670
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: I just want to know where he went, that's it,

671
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: and why he took off and why he left social media.

672
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 5: Next, all right, Jonas, Well, this one is the Papa

673
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 5: SWEEKA pic of the week for our dou cares. Here

674
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 5: two hundred Polish people, Jonas, we're taking turns in an

675
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 5: ice water pool. Why to break the record for largest

676
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 5: ice swimming relay, which was three hours and six minutes.

677
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 5: Do you care, Jonas? Yeah? I do.

678
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: As somebody who is a cold showers I haven't taken

679
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: a hot shower in years. As somebody's a big fan

680
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: of ice cold showers as much as possible. And by

681
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: the way, I would get an ice bath if I

682
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: had room for it. But you know, my backyard looks

683
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: like a cubicle, so it's not happening. But as somebody

684
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: who's a big fan of this stuff, good for them.

685
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: And on top of that, you get to break a

686
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: record and put your name in the history books. Celebrate them.

687
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 5: Next, all right, Jonas' final one and Scottie Scheffler injured

688
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 5: himself at Christmas dinner enough that he needs surgery on

689
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 5: his hands. Apparently cut his palm unbroken glass. Jonas, do

690
00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 5: you care?

691
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: No, I don't care about this. I'm sorry. Hey, can

692
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: I get some details here? Like it's Christmas dinner and

693
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: he cut his hand on a glass.

694
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 5: Apparently he was reaching to reaching for utensils, was getting

695
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 5: a little animated at conversation and slip happened.

696
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure there were no boos involved. There

697
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: was no yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it. I

698
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: tell you, when you start telling me the truth, then

699
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: I'll start caring a little bit more about the story.

700
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: How about that? So the NFL could really really use

701
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: some help today, really really use some help from one

702
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: team in the league. We'll explain who that is coming

703
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: up here in just a couple of moments from now,

704
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio. You can listen to this

Speaker 1: ten thousand recommended installers tire iraq dot com the way

715
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. So we were talking about this

716
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: earlier in the show that we can all agree that

717
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs setup and how a team with fourteen wins

718
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: is going to be a five seed and have to

719
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: go on the road in the first round of the

720
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: playoffs is not fair and doesn't make any sense. Like well,

721
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: we all agree that that's the case. It's probably not

722
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: going to change. Like the loser of the Vikings and

723
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: the Lions on Sunday Night Football, they're screwed like it

724
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: just you know, it is what it is now. I

725
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: still would take them in a five verse four matchup,

726
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: most likely, I would still take them. I would favor them.

727
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: But happen to go on the road and all of

728
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: a sudden it changes, and then to go from potentially

729
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: a buy in the first round of the playoffs to

730
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: having to go on the road, like all of that

731
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: stuff like factors in and it makes that game must watch,

732
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: and it makes that game that big of a deal

733
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: like that really could dictate who goes to a super Bowl. Now,

734
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: to me, the NFC is completely wide open. It would

735
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: not surprise me if anybody from the NFC made a

736
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: run and was all of a sudden in a conference

737
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: championship game or in a super Bowl. I'm telling like,

738
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: it's completely wide open. The AFC feels like you have

739
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: some real juggernauts there. I don't really get that sense

740
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: in the NFC because of the injuries to Detroit. Detroit's injuries,

741
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: especially on defense, I think of really even the playing

742
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: field and their injuries elsewhere, and so because of that,

743
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: I think it opens up the possibility for an upset

744
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: or somebody else making a deep run. But one thing

745
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: that does have to happen, It's got to happen right

746
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: For a couple of reasons. The NFL really really really

747
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: needs the Bengals to beat the Steelers later on. They

748
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 1: really need it. And if you're a Steeler fan, you're saying,

749
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: screw you. You know, we're looking at where we're going

750
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: to end up in the postseason and we've got to

751
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: get our momentum back and we're not playing good football

752
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: right now and all that stuff. And the Bengals are like, hey,

753
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: we survived last week. But the NFL could really use

754
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati to win that game, because if the Bengals win

755
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: that game later on tonight at Pittsburgh, all of a sudden,

756
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: it creates a fun watch when it comes to Dolphins, Jets,

757
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: and Chiefs Broncos, who are going to be in the

758
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: four to twenty five Eastern time window coming up on Sunday,

759
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: Because now it opens up multiple possibilities because if the

760
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Broncos, which you know it would take

761
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: some work starters are going to be resting. Carson Wentz

762
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: is but all of a sudden, it puts the pressure

763
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: on a team like Denver. If the Dolphins beat the Jets,

764
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: it puts a pressure on team a team like Denver.

765
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: And we need Cincinnati thrown into the mix because if

766
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati can get a Miami loss and a Denver loss,

767
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, it's the Bengals in the postseason,

768
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you get Cincinnati in there

769
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: that nobody wants to see. With the way Joe Burrow

770
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase and T Higgins are slinging the football around,

771
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: it would create a predicament. And the only way we

772
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: get the three way race for that final spot and

773
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: we get that interesting storyline is for you know, the

774
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: Bengals to beat the Steelers. Now, does that mean that

775
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: maybe they might get a couple of calls to go

776
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: their way? And maybe the NFL realizes that and says,

777
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, let's go ahead. Maybe possibly. I mean, if

778
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: you're a Steeler fan and you end up losing that game,

779
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: there's you're out. I mean, if you were looking for

780
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: a reason to bitch and moan and complain a little

781
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: bit about the game. That could be your reason. So

782
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if we want to create some interest

783
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: here and really make tomorrow's four to twenty five Eastern

784
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: time Dolphins, Jets, Chiefs, Broncos back and forth watch that

785
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: much more interesting, have Cincinnati win this game later on tonight.

786
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: Get a win from Cincinnati, and I think it opens

787
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: up all sorts of possibilities. I was also thinking about

788
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: this as well too, watching these games and looking at

789
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: the games today. You imagine being the a hole who

790
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: gave your buddy a hard time for following the Browns

791
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. Imagine that, Like, just think about the different

792
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: world that those two franchises are in right now. The

793
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: Ravens are hosting the Browns later on, and before we

794
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: started the segment, Baltimore was a twenty and a half

795
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: point favorite on DraftKings. Now, maybe some monies come in,

796
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: maybe some people feel like the line is a little

797
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: bit ridiculous, but it's still at nineteen and a half.

798
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: So before put this into perspective, before the game even

799
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: kicks off, and it kicks off at four thirty Eastern time,

800
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: before it even kicks off, Baltimore's got a twenty point lead,

801
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: like nobody's played and look, Baltimore's trying to try it

802
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: and they need to win. They can clay, like, we

803
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: get it, We are all clear here, But just think

804
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: about the world that those two fan bases have been

805
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: living in since they left Cleveland to go to Baltimore.

806
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: Like the Ravens are continuously in the Super Bowl chase, Like, yeah,

807
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: they've only won one since Harbaugh's been there, but they've

808
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: won two since they left Cleveland, and it wouldn't surprise

809
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: you if they made a deep run. And Lamar Jackson

810
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 1: is potentially going to win a nether MVP and he's

811
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: from the same draft class in which you took Baker

812
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: Mayfield number one overall. Couldn't wait to get rid of

813
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: him after he won a playoff game for you to

814
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: go bring in Deshaun Watson, who's hardly played him. When

815
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: he has, it's been brutal. And Baker Mayfield's now having

816
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: the best season of his career in Tampa Bay and

817
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: they're going to the playoffs most likely again, Like you

818
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: could not pick two different outcomes and two different worlds

819
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL that came from the same place than

820
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Ravens, And I've always wondered this, like,

821
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: who's the guy. There had to been somebody, like most

822
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland fans realized, hey, listen, we got screwed. They bailed

823
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: on us, they abandoned us, like we can't this is bs.

824
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: But there had to been somebody. There had to been

825
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: somebody who was like, no, no, no, no, that's my team. Look,

826
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: I know they left here, but that's my team. Or

827
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe somebody who didn't live in Cleveland that had no

828
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: loyalty to the city, but they're just a Browns fan.

829
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, no, no no, that's my franchise. And

830
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's ever going to be another one,

831
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: and I don't want to stop watching football, so I'm

832
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: going to go cheer for the Ravens then, and all

833
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: that they've known is potential playoffs or potential super Bowl

834
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: ever since. Meanwhile, all the Browns known is if we

835
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: do go to the playoffs, we're going to figure out

836
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: a way to screw it up afterwards, or we're gonna

837
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: like draft quarterbacks and not build around them, hire and

838
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: fire coaches A bunch of times get really desperate when

839
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback does win a playoff game and just get

840
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: rid of him and throw him under the bus and

841
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: move on from him, and then give all this money

842
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: to another guy who's hardly going to play for us.

843
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: But it misses the first eleven games of the season

844
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: because you know, he got caught getting like seventy thousand massages.

845
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 1: And like, here we are at the end of the season,

846
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: with all this optimism for the Browns, all this discussion

847
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: for Cleveland, a proven year, Deshaun Watson, he's back, They're

848
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna figure this thing out, the rosters loaded, Miles Garrett

849
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: still is stuff like all of that, all the conversation

850
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: around Cleveland, and it's the final game of the regular season,

851
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: and before the game even kicks off in the betting markets,

852
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore's up by twenty. They can't make this up. It's

853
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: just a wild situation. Like you look at other organizations

854
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: that are kind of tied together and you go, oh,

855
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: what's no, No, these two really are tied together. And you

856
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: could not be more opposite. You could not be in

857
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: two different worlds than what the Ravens and Browns have

858
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: been in for the last twenty plus years. And here's

859
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore man with another opportunity to make a run, with

860
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: another opportunity to win an MVP, with another opportunity to

861
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: potentially win a Super Bowl, with all of the and

862
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland sitting here going, I guess we're drafting a quarterback. Well,

863
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, Deshaun reworked his deal. He's gonna be

864
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: bet Like you've got this albatross that nobody can figure out.

865
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski's having to like start Bailey Zappi now at quarterback,

866
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, like what else. It's just a

867
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: crazy split between those two that are tied together historically

868
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: for the rest of time. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports

884
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: sloppy seconds, half assed Saturday sports show. So I guess

885
00:51:54,840 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm stuck. Happy New Year again at the Jonas Knox

887
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: of all of those. Coming up next here though, from

888
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: the tire rack dot Com Studios, we are going to

889
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: tell you how one team in the NFL has a

890
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: very easy choice to make. They've got an easy choice

891
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: to make, but if you've followed along throughout the course

892
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: of history, probably not going to do it. That's yours

893
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: Next here on FSR, we don't need to bring Jonas

894
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: in Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. Coming up a little

895
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: over ten minutes from now here from the tire Rack

896
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: dot Com Studios, we are going to tell you about

897
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: something that a few players in the NFL have in common,

898
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: which is great for them. It's great for their current situation,

899
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: not so great for their previous one. We'll get into

900
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 1: that for you again a little over ten minutes from

901
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: now here on FSR. As mentioned earlier, we do have

902
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: a couple of NFL games coming up later on about

903
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: an hour a little over an hour away from kickoff

904
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: in the Brown's Ravens game that'll be taking place, and

905
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: then we've got the Bengals and the Steelers, and the

906
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: NFL desperately needs the Bengals to win that game, just

907
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: telling you right now, desperately need him to to open

908
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: up the possibilities for tomorrow with the Dolphins game and

909
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: also the Broncos game. So the NFL could really really

910
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: use which, by the way, I'll say this when it

911
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: comes to the Dolphins, it's got to be really frustrating

912
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: if you're a Dolphins fan because the reality is the

913
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: fact that they're still in the mix in the postseason. Look,

914
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: you need help, obviously, you need Denver to lose that game.

915
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: And Mahomes isn't playing, the starters aren't playing. But Carson

916
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: Wentz can sling it a little bit. He's won big

917
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: games before. He's played good football before. It's not like

918
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: you've got somebody who's never started a game before going

919
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: in there. But like, it's got to be frustrating from

920
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: the sense that if you're a Dolphins fan, you realize,

921
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: if Tuas starts every game that he missed, you're a

922
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: playoff team, and in fact, you're battling for better seeding.

923
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: Like I don't think you're winning the AFC East, but

924
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: you're battling for one of those top seeds not named

925
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: a division champ, Like you could be battling for that

926
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: five spot and end up playing you know, the Texans

927
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: who are flawed and not the same team they were

928
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: a year ago. I just it's got to be a

929
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: frustrating situation because you realize and then two of it

930
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: comes out and says, well, you know, if we make

931
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: it to the playoffs, I'm playing in that game. You

932
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: can guarantee it. It's like, well, I don't know, this

933
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: is kind of a big one. You know this, I mean,

934
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: you probably need could use some help, but it just

935
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: like this whole organization is reliant on the fact can

936
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: he stay healthy, and can he stay healthy and can

937
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: he avoid taking a hit or sliding head first or

938
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: getting hit in that. Like it just feels like everything

939
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 1: is sort of hinging on whether or not that guy

940
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 1: can stay healthy in a career. For being honest, and

941
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: I love to I think he should have gotten paid.

942
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the better core in the NFL.

943
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people want to disrespect him and say, oh,

944
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: you can't do this, you can't, dude proofs in the

945
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: pudding them with him and without him, completely different team.

946
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: But like the fact of the matter is the availability

947
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: is your best ability, and he hasn't been available for

948
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: big portions of his career. Like you can go all

949
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: the way back to college, you can go to the

950
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: NFL and it just if you're a Dolphins fan, you're

951
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: looking at this going, Man, we shouldn't be in a

952
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: spot where we need Carson Wentz to win a game

953
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: for us in Denver just so that we can make

954
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: it to the postseason and beat the awful Jets. Like

955
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be in this spot. Yet here they are

956
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: with Tyler Huntley as a backup quarterback, trying to go

957
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: in and do it against the Jets and hope for

958
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of help from Carson Wentz, So probably

959
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: a frustrating situation, but it could always be worse.

960
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 4: You know.

961
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: You could be a team in the NFL who's I

962
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: guess got some talent and got some stuff going on,

963
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: and got some you know, feeling like, hey, we might

964
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: have our quarterback at all, and then just kind of

965
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: looking around and going, yeah, but it's just this one thing.

966
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: We're a disaster of a culture, and we don't have

967
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: a head coach, and we're just trying to figure this

968
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: whole thing out and look for answers, and we're in

969
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 1: the midst by the way of a ten game losing streak.

970
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: Step right up, step right up, your Chicago Bears. Hey,

971
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: that's how it's done, folks. That's how you do it.

972
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: That's how you bounce back from a heartbreaking Hail Mary loss.

973
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: You lose the next nine in a row, soon to

974
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: be ten after they get blow torch by the Packers

975
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: tomorrow at lambeau Field. I bring that up because this

976
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 1: feels like an obvious decision, but it's not the obvious

977
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: decision everybody thinks it is. The question is now, and

978
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: we were talking about this earlier. Mike rabel Is interviewed

979
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: for the Jets head coaching job. Rex Ryan is next.

980
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick is interviewed for the vacant GM opening, like

981
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: all of this stuff, like the wheels are in most

982
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 1: for all this stuff. If you hear people talk about

983
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: next head coach for the Bears, like you hear people

984
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: talk about it, everyone goes, oh, this is easy, Ben Johnson.

985
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: You hire the often the guru of the Lions, the

986
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: guy who's revitalized Jared Goff's career, and you bring him in.

987
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: You hire Ben Johnson to work with Caleb Williams. Easy, pas,

988
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: he done deal, We are good here. That's the move

989
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: you make. And I look at it and I go no.

990
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: The move you make is to hire Mike Rabel because

991
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: you know who's not coming with Ben Johnson to Chicago.

992
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: His offensive line, his dual running back combination in the backfield,

993
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: which has been fantastic. One of them could have been

994
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: there in Chicago. But they didn't need David Montgomery. They're

995
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: too good for that. You know, they don't need him.

996
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: They're not coming. Neither is Amana Saint Brown. Either is

997
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: Sam Laporta. Neither is Jameson Williams. Neither. No, None of

998
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: those guys are coming just Ben Johnson. And it's not

999
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: a knock on Ben Johnson, but the fact of the

1000
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: matter is a place like Jacksonville makes way much more

1001
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: sense to me than a place like Chicago. And there

1002
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: was like some speculation that you know, maybe, uh, you

1003
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: know Scott Brunell, who former Jaguars quarterback, like that, you know,

1004
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: he thinks that Ben Johnson would love the Jaguars job,

1005
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: that that would be the place that would make sense.

1006
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco's throwing that name out and that that you know,

1007
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: tied those two together before as well too. That's the

1008
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: one that seems like it makes more sense to me

1009
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: because Jacksonville's got town. They have issues with injuries and

1010
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: all the other things like it, and it hasn't worked there.

1011
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: But it doesn't feel like it's toxic, Like it doesn't

1012
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: feel like there's like full blown meltdowns and things. It

1013
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: just feels like they've underperformed and they need something. The

1014
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: Bears feel like the culture's a mess, Like you've got

1015
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: players pointing fingers, blaming coaches, having meltdowns, having this. DJ

1016
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: Moore walks off the field in the middle of a

1017
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: play and oh, well's because of this it's oh body

1018
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: language and all you know Tyson Bagent's dad going to

1019
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: the media and saying, oh, players want my guy to start.

1020
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: Like all of these things that are happening, and you

1021
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: look at it and go, well, yeah, if Ben Johnson

1022
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: comes in, that's great for Caleb Williams, it's great for

1023
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 1: his development. What about the organization. I would rather have

1024
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Mike Rable come in, who you know

1025
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: is going to hold people accountable, is going to be

1026
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: trustworthy in late game situation, clock management situations. Act like

1027
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: they're looking at this as just Caleb Williams. I got

1028
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: news for you. Watch that team. He's the last of

1029
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: your problems. It's the entire build of the roster. It's

1030
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: the entire makeup of the roster. Like how many times

1031
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: have you heard a story come out about dysfunction in

1032
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: Chicago or seen it play out. You haven't really seen

1033
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: that in Jacksonville. And you can say, well, it's because

1034
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: it's the market, it's because it's this It's go okay, Like,

1035
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: ask yourself this last time the Bears won a game

1036
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: this season, you know what it was against Jacksonville in London.

1037
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: How many stories of clownery and chaos have come out

1038
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: between Chicago and Jacksonville since then, and the Bears mutilated

1039
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: them in that game wasn't close. So everyone's looking at

1040
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: this going, oh, this isn't easy fix. This is the

1041
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: obvious choice. You hire Ben Johnson, he works with Kayleb Williams.

1042
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: Problem solved. No, it ain't. You got defensive issues. You've

1043
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: got locker room issues. You've got perception issues, Like you

1044
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: got players talking about like, hey, why didn't we practice

1045
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: after the bye? Like why didn't we do it? Like

1046
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: there are multiple players saying, yeah, we need somebodyho's gonna

1047
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: hold everybody accountable. We need That doesn't feel like a

1048
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: first time head coach. To me, that feels like somebody

1049
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: who's done it before. That feels like somebody who's has

1050
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: a proven track record of Hey, he's fixed places, he's

1051
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: turned around organizations. Mike Rabel feels like the slam dunk

1052
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: move the slam dunk higher. That's why when the story

1053
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: came out that Mike McCarthy, I think Jeremy Fowler or

1054
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: ESPN pointed this out that Mike McCarthy, if Dallas moves

1055
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: on from him, would have some interest in the Bear's job.

1056
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy makes more sense than Ben Johnson does.

1057
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: You need somebody who's been through this stuff and is

1058
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: seen Okay, here's where the issues are. Like Ben Johnson's fantastic,

1059
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: But that's a lot to ask of a guy when

1060
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: you go into that place with all the stories that

1061
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: have come out of there this season to try and

1062
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: fix that and the quarterback. I'll take my chances with Rabel.

1063
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: He brings in a guy like Tommy Reese who a

1064
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: lot of people are of respect. And if you lose

1065
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: him and he goes somewhere else, because he does a

1066
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: great job with Kayleb Williams, so be it. If Kayleb

1067
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: Williams is everything they thought he is, then you trust

1068
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: that whoever else comes in is going to be able

1069
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: to have success with them. A Lah Josh Allen after

1070
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Brian dave Ball left, etc. Etc. To me, Mike Rabel's

1071
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: to hire? What will? They probably do not hire Mike Rabel.

1072
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: That's the way the Bears work. Jonas Knox here Fox

1082
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: going to tell you how there's a certain thing that

1083
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: a few players in the NFL have in common. It's

1084
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: great for their current team, not so much for their

1085
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: previous team. That'll be yours right here on FSR. But

1086
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 1: first for all the latest from around the world of sports,

1087
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. A man high a top his throne

1088
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: of sports talk radio. He knows more about sports, and

1089
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: he's better at telling you about sports than anybody in

1090
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: the history of the business. Just ask him. He's isaacloh

1091
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: and crame. What does that? Just ask him supposed to mean, well,

1092
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: you have confidence in yourself? I I do, But the

1093
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: just ask him crack canotes that it has crossed the

1094
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: line from confidence to arrogance. When I ever referred to

1095
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: myself in that manner, My brilliance is best summed up

1096
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: by what others have said about me that has gradually

1097
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: convinced me of my ability.

1098
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1099
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,959
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I don't know why me. I'm trying

1100
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: to hype you up, well your own personal height along

1101
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: those lines.

1102
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 4: That's the perfect segue.

1103
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: It's working because we do have a throne update you ready, yeah,

1104
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: airin posting and I quote Isaac, I don't mean to

1105
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: pull you off your throne.

1106
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 4: You're in this case with the.

1107
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Incorrect yo you apostrophe are e instead of y oh,

1108
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: you are thrown. But that's neither the here nor there, Isaac.

1109
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't mean to pull you off your throne, but

1110
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: if you're working Saturdays with Jonas Knox, your throne ends

1111
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: up being a busted up port of John unquote here

1112
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: with analysis Jonas Knox. I mean, yeah, that's not nice,

1113
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: not very I mean, he could have at least gotten

1114
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: the grammar correct, sure that that would help. But I mean, listen,

1115
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: some of these people that write in this stuff are idiots,

1116
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean it, it just is what

1117
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: it is. But isn't that you in all fairness, isn't

1118
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: that the target demographic that has sent your career skyrocketing. Yeah,

1119
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean this one sent in from David who writes

1120
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: board op Jonas is still a bigger vomit bag and

1121
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: bleep than these pile of feces college football and NFL

1122
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,479
Speaker 1: playoff games. Put on your COVID mask and cry about

1123
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: your mental health and going to blue Sky, you bleep gobblayer.

1124
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: First of all, that's actually one of my burner accounts,

1125
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: But secondly, I'm just kidding in that connotation. Isn't blue

1126
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: sky one word and not two? I don't know it

1127
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: is blue sky? Like the alternative to Twitter? Is that

1128
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: what it is? It has these moments where membership spikes

1129
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: and everybody like, oh, I'm going to blue Sky, leaving Twitter,

1130
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: going to blue Sky, But eventually everyone at least the

1131
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: way I use Twitter is for sports information and absolutely

1132
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: nothing else. Uh, that's still the place for sports information.

1133
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: And I don't get people that argue back and forth

1134
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: with other people on twitters. Yeah, I be what'll waste

1135
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: for you?

1136
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 4: Do you feel sorry for those SAPs?

1137
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like you get you get caught up in this

1138
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: like perpetual state of going checking. What did you say?

1139
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: I got to respond? What did they say? I've got

1140
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:31,959
Speaker 1: it it's like, dude, who cares? Like I said, that's

1141
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: that is the target demographic that has sent your career

1142
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: into the stratosphere. And I'm just trying to ride your

1143
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: coat tales of hatred as they were, straight to the bank.

1144
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: It's a place, it's a place to be, man. I'm

1145
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: telling you, We're going places, Isaac. I mean all the

1146
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: time on a Saturday, all aboard, all aboard the Jonas bandwagon. Well,

1147
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: we indeed have a lot of NFL news Jonas. In fact,

1148
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: just moments ago, NFL media reporting that the Green Bay

1149
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Packers are placing cornerback Jayra Alexander on injured reserve due

1150
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: to a knee injury, but that Alexander could return for

1151
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl if Green Bay, of course, makes it

1152
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: that far. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today plays safety Jordan

1153
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Whitehead on the reserve non football injury list after he

1154
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: was involved in a car accident earlier today on his

1155
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: way to the Buccaneers facility. The Tampa Bay Times reported

1156
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Whitehead is okay, but is not expected to return this season.

1157
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: The Bucks, at nine and seven, need a win or

1158
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: tie tomorrow against the Saints or a Falcons loss or

1159
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: tie against Carolina to make the playoffs. Coming up just

1160
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: under one hour from now, the Ravens host the Cleveland Browns.

1161
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore can clench the AFC North and the three seed

1162
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: with a winter tie. Baltimore left guard Patrick McCarey is active.

1163
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: He'd been listed as questionable due to illness. Running Back

1164
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Justin Hill and receiver Nelson Agalore among those who are

1165
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: inactive for Baltimore. Coming up tonight at eight pm Eastern,

1166
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers can

1167
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: clench the AFC North and the three seed with a

1168
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: win and a Raven's loss. For the Bengals to make

1169
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they would need to win and have the

1170
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Broncos and Dolphins both lose Tomorrow and one final Jonas

1171
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Knocks update, Jonas, your fan club is in fine form.

1172
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 1: This posted by Dale for what it's worth. I enjoy

1173
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: your morning show. Guess I'm a bleep gobbler too. And

1174
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: in a related coat tails update, John has just followed me,

1175
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: apparently as a result of this conversation from Newton, Massachusetts.

1176
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, John, Welcome aboard back to you see, you know,

1177
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: just growing the follower count one month one slappy at

1178
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: a time. That's the least we can do here on

1179
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: this show. Oh my god. By the way, Isaac, let

1180
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 1: me ask you what would you rather have the Bengals

1181
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or the Dolphins or like up of

1182
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the three? Let me rephrase terrible out of questioning Bengals, Dolphins,

1183
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: Broncos in the playoffs? Would you rather have Bengals because

1184
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: they have the highest upside slash punter's chance and for

1185
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: the short term they will absolutely by winning, transform tomorrow

1186
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: into meaningful football instead of meaningless football. I would agree, Yeah,

1187
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I just man, dude, who wants to

1188
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 1: see Burrow? Look, there's two quarterbacks walking the planet who

1189
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: have a postseason win over Patrick Mahomes, Tom Blues retired

1190
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow, Like, come on, like that feels like

1191
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: the most interesting of them all. But you know, knowing

1192
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals will figure out a way to blow it.

1193
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they really tried to lose that game last

1194
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: week and really tried to lose. So we'll see, we'll see,

1195
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: hopefully as Cincinnati pulls it out and we can get

1196
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: ourselves a fun little four to twenty five Eastern time

1197
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 1: window coming up. Tomorrow.

1198
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 4: Who Day? Who Day?

1199
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Yep, who Day? Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio, by

1200

1201
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 1: Knox Locks is back for week eighteen. Very confident, feeling

1202
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: pretty great about things after last week and what we've

1203
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: done over the past several weeks. That'll be yours here again,

1204
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: coming up in about ten minutes from now. All right,

1205
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: So I've talked to I mentioned this earlier in the year,

1206
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: and it's like at that point of the season, like, yeah, listen,

1207
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, not even the halfway point. I don't

1208
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: think so, like, what are we really even talking about

1209
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: it for? But I pointed it out for a reason

1210
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: that there's a common theme here and it feels kind

1211
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: of noteworthy, especially as we get down to the final

1212
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 1: week of the season and we see the playoff field

1213
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: sort of get it self figured out and who's in

1214
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: and who's not and all that. But I've just kind

1215
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: of noticing something because we were talking about the playoff

1216
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl voting earlier in the show, and I

1217
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: made mention of the fact that we talked about on

1218
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, the fact that

1219
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 1: you know, like for some reason people think that Jaden

1220
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Daniels deserved a Pro Bowl spot or over Baker Mayfield.

1221
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. I'm sorry it doesn't. Jared Gov

1222
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: made sense, Sam Darnold makes sense. Jade and Daniels doesn't

1223
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: make sense. Baker Mayfield had a better year, but it

1224
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: gets a Pro Bowl, you know, not that big of

1225
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: a deal. It's fine, you know whatever. Listen to snub,

1226
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: not snub whatever. Patrick Mahomes didn't make the Pro Bowl

1227
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: and you look at the guys who made it over him, Lamar,

1228
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, all those guys at better years,

1229
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: so they got that right. I just disagree with Jayden

1230
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: and Daniels over Baker Mayfield. Whatever. Teach their own. But

1231
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I did find it funny how a certain position group

1232
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: had a common theme when it came to their Pro

1233
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: Bowl selections. Do you see, uh, some of the names

1234
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 1: that popped up as far as running backs go, Derrick Henry,

1235
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, all running backs whose

1236
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: former team let him walk. You don't need them. We're

1237
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: all good here. All running backs who currently are on

1238
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: playoff teams and their former teams odds would say, aren't

1239
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs now Joe Mixon's case, maybe Cincinnati

1240
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: will get it done. But from an odds perspective, the

1241
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: odds would say Cincinnati's not going to get that final

1242
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: playoff spot. Denver will probably win, and if not Denver,

1243
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: Miami might beat the Jets in New York because the

1244
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: Jets are terrible. But you just look at that and

1245
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: you go, doesn't that tell you everything you need to know? Like,

1246
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 1: doesn't it tell you everything you need to know about

1247
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: where they came from? Like the Tennessee Titans and Derek

1248
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Henry couldn't figure it out. Now we're going to go

1249
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: We're going to go in a different direction. And now,

1250
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: like the highlight of the year for Tennessee is the

1251
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: fact that Brian Callahan ripped people for saying that his

1252
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: team doesn't play tough, like, you know, Joe Mixon. Hey, listen,

1253
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: you know we don't need him anymore. We're gonna, you know,

1254
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: let him walk to Houston. Houston, say whatever you want

1255
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: about him their playoff team and the Bengals are sitting

1256
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: here scrambling where it's like, hey man, if it's not

1257
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Like what are they going to do. It's

1258
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: like Joe Mixon would have helped that offense. Josh Jacobs

1259
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 1: leaves the Raiders, they'very disaster and he goes to Green

1260
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: Bay and it's been a perfect fit. It's why Green

1261
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 1: Bay is a live dog in the postseason. It's like, dude,

1262
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: they can run the football. Completely different team and the

1263
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: different style of running back than what Aaron Jones was.

1264
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: They can really run the football, they can pound the football.

1265
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 1: If the weather gets it becomes an issue. That's a

1266
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: team you could worry about. Saquon Barkley. I mean, has

1267
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: an ex ever been clowned more than what's happened with

1268
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. Like they pulled off the Dogs they could have.

1269
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: They actually set history against his former team this weekend.

1270
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: So it just goes to show you that, you know,

1271
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: if all of these things and all these teams are like, hey,

1272
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: we're going to follow the trend, We're not going to

1273
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: pay our running back. We don't want to do that.

1274
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: We're going to let them walk in a different direction,

1275
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: and all four end up in the Pro Bowl and

1276
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: on playoff rosters. It's a feel good moment for the

1277
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: running back position. It's also an indictment of where they

1278
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: came from, especially when it comes to Saquon Barkley, because

1279
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: nobody has whiffed and butchered a move that was so

1280
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: obvious to everybody else except for the ones inside the organization,

1281
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 1: like the Giants did on Hard Knocks, completely whiffed. Jonas

1301
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: posted right after we get off the air. Let's lotch

1302
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: it Knox locks. So we go back to last week,

1303
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: sitting at five hundred two weeks left in the season,

1304
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: and you're thinking to yourself, well, it's crunch time. You've

1305
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 1: been inconsistent all year. What makes us think you're gonna

1306
01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: be able to figure this week out? What did we

1307
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: tell you? Bengals minus three over the Broncos took some help,

1308
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: probably didn't need that much help, a little bit stressful,

1309
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: but nonetheless we got it done. Giants plus seven and

1310
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: a half over the Colts. I mean, had we bet

1311
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: the money line on that game, we really would have

1312
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: gotten paid. But the Giants were dominant. Best win of

1313
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: the season, probably the best win in a couple of

1314
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: years for the Giant. It cost him potentially the number

1315
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: one pick, but we were on the right side of that.

1316
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: And then the Vikings a one point favorite over the

1317
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Shouldn't have even gotten that close. Shouldn't

1318
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: have been nearly that close. But we'll take it. And

1319
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 1: we've got Minnesota minus one and a winner to finish

1320
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: up a clean sweep three and oh last week in

1321
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 1: Knox Locks. It puts US at twenty six, twenty three

1322
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: and two for the season, and it brings us to

1323
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: this week. Took the Bears and Packers. I'm gonna take

1324
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 1: the Bears. I don't think the Packers are going to

1325
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: play there starters that long. To be honest with you,

1326
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. I think they're gonna play

1327
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: it safe. And we're not asking for the Bears to

1328
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: do anything different than what they've done over the past

1329
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: ten games. We're asking them to lose, just don't lose

1330
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 1: by more than ten. That's it. You're probably gonna play

1331
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: majority of your starters. There's some guys that are gonna

1332
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: be out there playing hard. They were really competitive the

1333
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: first time these teams met. You could argue the Bears

1334
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: should have won that game. So I look at it.

1335
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: You've got Josh Jacobs saying, yeah, you're probably not gonna

1336
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: see a lot of me. They're gonna want to play

1337
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 1: this safe. They've got the playoffs to worry about. I

1338
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 1: think they're going to try and win this game. Obviously,

1339
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur has never lost to Chicago, but I don't

1340
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: think they're gonna step on the gas all the way through.

1341
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: I think the Bears can keep it within double digits,

1342
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: and if they do so, we've got ourselves a win.

1343
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Jets, I'm taking the Jets. This is a

1344
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: pick them. It's a pick them. The Jets in some markets,

1345
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe a slight favorite, but I'm gonna take New York here.

1346
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers needs one touchdown PA for five hundred. This

1347
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: would be the perfect ending to his Jets career and

1348
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: maybe his NFL career if they could go out and

1349
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: play spoiler against a backup quarterback and Tyler Huntley and

1350
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. I'm taking New York. I think they

1351
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 1: win this game outright, obviously, Obviously, I think the Jets

1352
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: get this done, and I think they do it in

1353
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: a pretty impressive fashion. I think it's a convincing win

1354
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: for the New York Jets. Believe it or not, the

1355
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: Jets are going to finish the season with a win.

1356
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Rogers will get touchdown pass number five hundred, and it'll

1357
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 1: be at the hands of the Miami Dolphins, who are

1358
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:41,480
Speaker 1: going to miss the playoffs because of this. The chief said, Broncos,

1359
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Kansas City. Look, you're getting ten and

1360
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a half points on the road. I know Patrick Mahomes

1361
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: isn't playing, I know all the starters are out, and

1362
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: Denver's got all this that they're playing for. Carson Wentz

1363
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: is gonna sling it around a little bit. They're going

1364
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: to similar to Chicago, keep it within the ten. I

1365
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: like Kansas City plus the ten and a half. And

1366
