JONAS KNOX SHOW – Jonas Knox uses the example of Kayshon Boutte’s ridiculous sports gambling spree to counter the NFL’s restrictions on Super Bowl players gambling in Las Vegas. Knox feels sports betting should be the only restriction, but there’s nothing wrong with a slot machine or card table.

The NFL and the world of football has had some stuff pop up this weekend right now some people are going to be pretty critical of my guy kaan booty you know the Patriots rookie wide receiver who got arrested because he was placing bets while he was at
LSU because apparently like if you make a couple of fake accounts when you’re underage and you gamble apparently that’s a problem and apparently when you place 8,900 bets between April of 2022 and may of 2023 so let’s call it 13 months this guy made 8,900 bets in a 13-month span and apparently
When it’s you know when at least 17 of those are on college football games and at least six of those are on LSU games that you played in I mean apparently that’s a problem apparently you know and apparently you know when you win like over $500,000 but
Majority that money is being used to make additional wages apparently that’s an issue too now I always thought that was called reinvesting okay that’s what I always thought but maybe I’ve got a different understanding of the term all right so there you know kaan booty there’s been some criticism out
There now he didn’t exactly hide his usernames for these other accounts one of them I believe was Kon Booty 7 the other one was Kon booty 01 you know not a lot of differential there between his actual name you know you would think he would come up with a better Alias maybe
He’s like me he’s upset that we didn’t come up with uh Mike Vick Alias back in the day which was Ron Mexico that’s always a good one big fan of Ron Mexico you know laye kein went with Joey freshwater you know some of the great ones are taken so maybe kaan Booty’s
Like well listen all the good ones are taken so I’ll just go with kaan booty1 as my you know Alias to go ahead and play some Wagers so the guy’s placing like 9,000 bets in a 13mon span now does this mean he’ll ever get to play football again
No no that’s probably over but you know what I think we know what his passion is all right like I think you know what it’s you know it’s like a kid who fights a lot when he’s when he’s younger you like God what’s his problem he’s always
Getting in fights what do you want to do about it I don’t know put him in a boxing or an MMA class let him learn Jiu-Jitsu it’ll cool him down a little bit all right so I mean listen if that’s his passion that’s his passion so yeah his NFL career is probably over
I get it but you know what you mean to tell me that guy couldn’t run a sports book you talk about a true love for the game so again A lot of people are going to be critical of this stuff I am not all right I have been on the gambling
Front for years here at FSR all right we have done I mean whether it’s live bets live bet Jesus who makes appearances here on Fox Sports Radio throughout the years they even got a Twitter account account or X whatever you want to call it KNX locks like I am in full support
So I’m not going to sit here and throw stones from a glass house at Kon booty right I’m not doing that but I can understand why the NFL and college football and sports is a little bit over the top when it comes to this stuff you know like this story about the Super
Bowl where the NFL uh they’ve put in a new gambling policy for players participating in the Super Bowl all right pretty simple if you were on either team in the Super Bowl this year in Vegas you can’t bet on anything right so you I mean we’re talking like
Anything at all not just the games we’re talking slot machines we’re talking anything you can’t bet on any of it now this makes me want the Lions to advance to the Super Bowl just because of all the guys they had in their organization who got popped for gambling I mean you
Imagine Jameson Williams walking through a sports book if the Lions make the Super Bowl guy’s going to go into convulsions like it’s like taking an alcoholic into a liquor store to buy pretzels why would you do that hey man could you run in there and get me like uh you
Know a pack of now and lers run into where you know a spikes Liquor Barn right there right on the corner you see it it’s right over there go to spikes Liquor Bar and get me a pack of now and lers if you can uh you
Think that’s a good idea why wouldn’t it be a good idea I don’t know I’m an alcoholic what do you think it’s like you don’t want to see Jameson Williams at the Super Bowl have to walk through a casino and not pull a lever like not not walk up and go hey
Hey give me um give me uh uh 50 bucks on Magic Murphy to show in the next race at pimo if you can thanks like you don’t want to see that I want to see it now whether or not that’s going to happen again you got to stick around for
Knox locks but the point is I get why the NFL is concerned from an optic standpoint that hey we don’t want players who are participating in the game to gamble while they’re there during the Super Bowl week okay like I get it but there’s a big difference
Between gambling on your own game and playing a penny slot machine there just is all right they just I got news for you if I could gamble on my own show I would I would CU I don’t have that discipline but there’s a big difference between me
Gambling on something that’s my own and playing a slot machine a big difference like is anybody really going to give a rip is anybody going to care if one of these guys is playing a slot machine like really like like we’re going to throw a we’re going to throw a fit if you’re
Cruising through a casino and you see Sam darnold playing a double dolphin slot machine or or hitting the Wheel of Fortune Spin really like that’s going to be an issue like oh Sam oh that’s a two games for what throwing 20 bucks in a slot machine and giving it a whirl for a
Couple of minutes who cares dude I the worst things have happened in the Super Bowl you don’t think so ask Eugene Robinson Eugene Robinson went out to get a Captain Hook at the Super Bowl and ended up with an undercover cop that’s an issue that’s a problem a guy playing
A slot machine or playing Blackjack at one of the tables like I mean come like who who’s going to give a rip if Jake Moody is playing three card poker at a casino somewhere during super Super Bowl week who cares there’s not enough cameras to see whether or not they Venture into the
Sports book we don’t have enough cameras in Vegas I got news for you if you pick your nose and wipe it on a piece of furniture they’ll throw you out cuz somebody saw it from upstairs you can’t get away with anything so I can understand why they’re
Concerned the itics and all that this feels like a bit much it’s like Co you remember Co come on you remember Co right you remember like all the things you had to do to protect yourself during Co you know like some people were like wiping off their groceries with
Sanitizer wipes when they got home you know like you like you know cuz like that’s the concern hey I don’t want to get the Corona virus so here hand me some Perell I’d like to shower the bag of funions I just bought I just want to be
Safe you know like you start to look back at some of the things that people were doing back then and you you understood it but upon further review it’s like yeah it’s a bit much you know it’s a that’s that’s that’s probably a bit much I mean maybe we didn’t need to
Do that you know like I can understand washing your hands a lot hey even masking up I get all that but like I mean really you’re doing that like I just think the NFL is going to look back on this week and go yeah that was a bit
Much you know like maybe it’s not that big of a deal at all whatsoever on any level if some backup tight end for one of these teams pulls a lever on a slot machine when he’s walking through a casino in fact I’ll tell you what find me somebody who doesn’t want to do
That like you like you’re walk I mean there’s people who can’t even get out of the airport and Vac just without gambling on the slot machines so again I get it I understand it but I think we’re kind of overreacting a little bit to this whole thing you know I know
There’s been some scandals but this feels like a bit much

Refs and gambling are all employees of the NFL… it’s all set up.
I think instead of the coin toss we should roll dice to see who gets the ball
