• 2:33
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, the little Red microphone fire Away on a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: couple of things we're going to toss to you. Let
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: me get this one out of the way first mirrors.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We've all had some time to digest it now. Thirty
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: six hours later tomorrow, the team is going to hold
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a news conference. Jerry, Justin, Danny. They're all going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: sit there, answer questions. We'll be there, we'll roll on it,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we'll play we'll play some parts of it back in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: our show from one to three tomorrow. At some point
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: react to what is said in the past. It's been
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: one of the most incredible days of the year because
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that gave us fifty four percent doing the fans a favor.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That was the news conference, same news conference, just earlier
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: because it was earlier that they held it because they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: weren't an ALCS team that year. But that you never
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: know what's going to be said.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: No, you don't. You never know, and I will be there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I wonder what they can say specifically about Naylor Gino.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this to Mark. What I want to know
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is really simple. Is ownership giving you the green light
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to keep the band together, because to keep the team together,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it's going to cost you more money. If for no
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: other reason, you got to resign Naylor. There's a called
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: player options in there too, but like Polanko is going
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to opt out for sure because he can probably make
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: more money. So that's that's That's the way. The only
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: thing I care about. I'm past the strategy of Monday
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and Dan and what happened there. You know, maybe he'll
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: say in retrospect, I should have done this. I kind
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of doubt it. I think you've got to stand behind
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: your decision, whether most people think it's right or wrong.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Most people think it is wrong. Whatever, that's that's his call.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He's paid for that. But that's what I want to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: hear to Mom. But I would here we are thirty
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: six hours later. Have your emotions changed? Have you changed
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: how you feel? Are you accepting? Are you angry still?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Have you turned from anger to sad? Melancholy? How would
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you describe it thirty six hours later? Whatever it is
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: forty eight hours later? Is that what it is Wednesday?
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Forty eight? Forty eight hours or thirty six whatever it
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: might be two days later? How are you feeling right now?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Marinor fans? I heard some dipstick boy almost said something there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I heard some dipstick I heard some dipstick call into
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Mark's show earlier MJ in the midday because I'm a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: plumber and I just, you know, I can't believe all
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: these fans are winding and crying about the team and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: all that did. You're listening to sports radio, okay, Like
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: that's a you problem. If you don't understand, don't listen.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And I've never said that on the radio ever before,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: but I don't just tell you right now, if you
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: don't understand why there's a motion in this town about
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the baseball team losing that. I can't help you. We're
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: not here for you. You need to find something else to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: do because sports are passionate. That's what we do.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Our afternoon host cried on the air yesterday, Yes, as predicted,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: but he also did so those tiers weren't just his,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: they were they were for the region everyone. So everyone
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: is yeah, that's what we do. So I want to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: hear from you guys. I want to hear I really really,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And we don't have softy stuff. He's got a meetings,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: so we're not going to do talk talk cross talk
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: at two forty five. We'll play as many as we
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: can to forty five on that topic. Here's the other topic.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Do you have that music I asked for? I hit that?
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Please?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, here we go.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know the exact year, maybe ten years ago
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: or so. I want to say about ten years. My
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: old co hosts tucking me. We did a we we
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: took a stance part way through the Mariner season. Oh
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I remember that, refused to talk. Yep, you heard about
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it across the street.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Across the street, and you heard about it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But we're not happy. But we refused to talk. Our
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: refusal to talk based on the term refused to lose,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: which is probably the part they really didn't like, But
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it was based on we just couldn't go on the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: air every day and talk about a team that was
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: losing on a continuous basis, like at a clip that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was like really high. It wasn't No. Eight, but it
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was somewhere in there. One of the many horrible seasons,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: probably the last year of Jack Maybe I don't know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: but we refused to talk about the Mariners unless something
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: happened significant, trade manager fired, what have you. But the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: day to day business of baseball, we just weren't going
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to do it, couldn't do it, didn't have the energy
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to Both of us were mann of fans. We're going
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to do it, so we refused to talk. It was fun,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: good little radio bit for a while, especially in the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: middle of the season, when you have a team in
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball and you refuse to talk about them,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: kind of made a thing. We did well with it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: People listened that, people listened to us not talk, so
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they did. It's good. Pissed people off. You guys heard
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: about it, but we were told to talk more about it. Whatever.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, So we did that. I asked you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to play this music because it's the last time I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: gonna have you play it. Okay, period, end of story.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I will delete eighteen Well, you don't have to delete it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Just it's this return last night to the airwaves NBA
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and NBC NBA season opened last night. The eighteenth year,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the eighteenth year the NBA opened without a city, without
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a team in Seattle, eighteen years that we had it
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: eighteen years ago they left for Oklahoma City. And of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: course they're also now the defending champions. Everyone's got their
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: own way to just kind of I don't know protests
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: as the right word. Just I'm not even in a
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: protest mood. I'm just in a I'm done mood. Yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And here's my mood. And I want to know if
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you guys agree with this four nine, four five one
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: maybe not. I'd love to hear from it. And also
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the talkbacks, yes, but this particular show one, two three,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to refuse to talk about the NBA. Okay
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: until they come back. I'm done. I am done. I'm done,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: done and done. When they come back, we'll talk about
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the games. Now. If there's news like expansion or non expansion,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: or we're gonna build a European league, get the expense
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of Seattle. Whatever, We'll get to that. But I don't
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: care what Lebron does on a daily basis. I don't
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: care what anything else happens on a daily basis in
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the league field of drama. I don't care about the games.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And that's not who I was because a year and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a half after the team left, I ended up working
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: back for an NBA team, for the Blazers, doing pre
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and postgame on TV when they started Comcast Ports, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I was flying back and forth after radio four days
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: a week, and I love the NBA, grew up with
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the NBA Portland, Salt Lake here working in different markets.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: It hit me last night, this is it. I'm done?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And why is it? What was the tipping point? See,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: everyone has like I said, softy, he doesn't go to Starbucks. Yep, good,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that's his thing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It's taking me eighteen years to get get here. It's
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: taken eighteen years to get here. But this off season
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: with how Adam Silver and this league treated our market,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and really not just the off season, literally the last
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: twelve fourteen months jacking us around, pulling our chain, talking
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: about teams in Europe, talking about teams in Brazil or
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: wherever the hell Mexico city, and just kind of giving
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: us this disrespect, kind of condescending in Seattle. You know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: we know there's great, great interest there. Really, you dummy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: You've talked to people here, not the dipstick mayor who
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: has no Jews who will want you to tell he
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: wants to think, yeah, he has no juice. You've talked
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to people here that matter, and now you've put it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: all on pause. You've put it all on pause, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: we are now your leverage city. That's gonna help with
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Memphis or New Orleans or maybe those teams will move here, whatever.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: But I'm done. Eighteen years. It took eighteen years. I'm
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: gonna probably go to a with my son in Salt

• 10:03
  Speaker 2: we've done that. It's been a while, so we've been
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: able to do it. But as far as this radio
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: station or this radio show is concerned, refuse to talk
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: is being invoked as of right now. And I am done.

• 13:33
  Speaker 2: start and there's a tie here with BILLI Napier and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the Florida job now being open. Obviously, the how do
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you get fired after a win? That's a new one

  Speaker 2: on me.

  Speaker 7: must have been the worst kept secret in the world
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: that was going to happen off the bye week, one
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: week or the other. And then it was, uh just
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: even though they won the game, it was like all
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: of Billion Napier's greatest of why they don't like him,
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: you know, twelve minute on the field, penalties and calling
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: a draw quarterback draw on third and seven in the
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: red zone, like all these things that fans just can't stand.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: He crammed them all into his last game.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. All right, Well, Napier's gone at Florida, the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: usual suspects will be named. I don't know why Lane
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Kiffin would look at that job. He's got things going
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: pretty good at Ole miss right now. But you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: his name's out there. The name that we heard before
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: he even coached a game in Seattle was the guy
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: here at Washington, and that's of course Jed Fish some
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: ties there as well. Is Jed Fish a candidate do
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you think for the Florida job or any of these
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: other big jobs.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a lot of right, there's a lot of
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: logical connections there with Florida and his past there. So
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: you know, we certainly talked about him as a candidate
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: on the audible, But I think first he's got to
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: win some games because you know, Florida fans are you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: they're going to pine for Lane because he's wanted a
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: very high level in the SEC. You know, there's been
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: talking Eli drinkle It, who won ten games at Missouri
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: a couple of years ago. And I feel like SEC
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: fans are kind of like naturally skeptical toward anybody who
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: hasn't coached in the SEC. It's part of why Billy Napier,
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: I think, could never get their respect there because he
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: came from the Thumbelt. So if Washington, if he goes
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: on a run towards the end of the season. Here
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: in Washington's a hot team, then I could see I
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: could see that generating more buzz. But I think I
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: don't even know that Florida fans are all that aware
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: frankly of his past. So it's part of his story.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: But it's not like he was the star quarterback for
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: the team, right. He was a student intern working for
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Steve Spurriers.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I think if they knew the
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: past in terms of what he did at Arizona, they'd
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: be impressed. But it's a that's a tough job, that's
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a I mean, the SEC Florida still has some juice
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to it, but obviously the issues lately. I loved what
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: you did. We did a ranking in the in your
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: mail Bag this week of potential of unemployed coaches out there,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and I think it's fascinating because there's guys here that
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I'm interested in. I think just because they have a
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: tie here. I want to start with your number three
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: guy was Mike Gundy, and I'm you said, looking at you.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Oregon State and Colorado State drive the attention to an
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: off the grid program. I don't think he's at the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: same level in terms of personality, but maybe close, Probably
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: not though of a Mike Leach. But I you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Jessicin can attest to this. When Bill Moose went out
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and brought in Mike Leach, it was a game changer
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: for Washington State. Now, obviously they are where they are
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: right now with the conference folding. But I mean we're
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: talking about a team that was in the top ten
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: more times than it's ever been before under his tutelage,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and what he did there Mike Gundy Oregon State. How
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: much sense does that make.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: It's not quite as much of a no brainer at
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: that time with Mike Leach, who was still kind of
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: peak uh in his career, even fire at Texas Tech,
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: but not for performance reasons. And obviously he you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: had developed a reputation as the you know, the patron
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: saint if you will, of the air grade. Now Gundhy,
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: if you look back at his twenty years Oklahoma State
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: at a place that frankly barely ever won before he
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: got there, he had an amazing he had an amazing
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: run there, but it obviously imploded here towards the end.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: So I don't I wouldn't say it's a no brainer.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: But if you think about where Oregon State is right now,
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: in particular, they're they're in They've been totally forgotten in
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: this uh you know, this transition between the old Pack
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: twelve and the new PAC twelve there owen you know
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I start O and six, they're just nobody's paying any
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: attention to them anymore. Well, you get a guy like Gundy,
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: who is a big name and a big personality to
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: come to Corvallis, you're going to get attention again. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: now that's not the only reason to hire somebody, but
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: to me, it differentiates him possibly from some of the
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: other candidates who they might be interested in.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: August. State does have some money too, they're investing in
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: their athletic program. So that's that's something I would man
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: if I'm Oregon State, I'm definitely looking that along the way.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He is fifty eight years old. But hell, I think
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they hired they've hired Mike Riley when he's been seventy
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: on the second time round or something. So who knows,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and mon Riley's actually on that committee too, to check
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it out. All right, let's get to stuff on the field.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I mentioned Washington earlier. They've got Illinois this week. A
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: big matchup for really for both teams, maybe more so
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: for Illinois. I don't know, they're both five and two.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: They're both two and two. Washington, though, boy, that was
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to lost. You go to Michigan and you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: your offense just can't score. Demon Williams numbers now have
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: gone down ten touchdowns for interceptions. I don't know what's
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: happened to Jonah Coleman Man. That offense we saw in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Pullman and earlier this year was just was lights out
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: scary good and now and even against Rutgers two weeks ago.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: But uh, give me some thoughts on Illinois number twenty
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: three in the country and Washington in a big, big
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: ten game on Saturday at twelve thirty.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: I think we know what that offense is capable of.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: But you know, you just mentioned Rutgers. I just happened
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: to notice they have the last place defense in all
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: the FBS so far this season. So they've went the
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: two best defenses they've gone up against, they got held
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: to a touchdown less. So the good news is the
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: Illinois not great on defense this year. They were last year.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: I think they're like eightieth this year. Obviously they have
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: to come to Seattle like that's a game. That's a
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: game that Washington should win. To be honest, even though
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Illinois is the one with the number in front of them,
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: I think Illinois has been a little propped up because
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: of what they did last season. So if they can't win,
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: if Washington doesn't win this game, then I think we
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: may have over overrated them and had maybe a little
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: bit too much respect based on some big numbers they
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: put up against some bad teams.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: The middle class and the Big ten is fascinating to me.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: And I say the middle class, I mean there's all
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: these teams won two, three, four, five, six, seven teams
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: that are three in one in conference. I think you
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: can kind of take Ucla out of that there three
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: and four overall, and they will see what happens this weekend.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: They got a game at Indiana, but that middle class there.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Then there's the other middle class of the two and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: two teams Illinois, Nebraska, Washington for example, those teams. Do
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: any of those like those bottom feeders from say Iowa
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to Washington, the five and two teams that are three
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: and one in conference or two and two in conference,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: do any of those teams have a chance at all
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to get to the college football playoff.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: I was not dead. Do you look back now and
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: it's play offs. A very close game to Iowa State
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: and a very close game to Indiana. They they're the
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: only team frankly that's that's given Indiana a tough game.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: So I wouldn't necessarily write them off. But I think
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: for the most part that that you just posted it
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: off a bunch of underwhelming teams. And I think USC
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: is good. I think UFC is a good team, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: they're a lot better than they were last year on
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: both sides of the ball. But every Lincoln Raley just
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: keeps doing the same things, like they find ways to
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: lose these games on the road. I think they I
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: mean I don't. I don't trust them, frankly, anytime they
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: go on the road, they're going at Nebraska in a
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: couple of weeks. Nebraska is frankly not very good, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: then they're out of Oregon. So I think USC could be,
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: you know, pretty good and still go eight and four,
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: and obviously that the people that are gonna be disappointed.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: But for the most part, the Big Ten to me
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: looks like a three team. A three a league that
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: gets three playoff teams, which when you're sending three out
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: of eighteen teams to playoff, that's not great.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Can you tell Oregon's number six? They're obviously in that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: playoff hunt and very much alive in their regard. They
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: got Wisconsin at home this week, Wisconsin's owing four. Just
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: we're talking about Florida second ago. I mean there's teams
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that four or five six years ago were like elite
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: teams in college football or at least brands. What has
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: happened to Wisconsin and can they ever get it back?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Indiana can get it there where they're at,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, i'm Vanderbilt can be where they're at. I mean,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: those are two of the worst teams in SEC and
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Big Ten history perennially. But Wisconsin's always been a strong
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: team and a strong brand. What has happened Wisconsin?
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: Well, Wisconsin has been so consistent for so long, in
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: large part because they knew who they were and they
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: never really straight from it. Every coach after Barry Alvarez
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: was kind of a very albaas the cycle until and
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: ran that same style until Luke Fickle showed up. I
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: thought Luke Fickle would do great. I mean, what he
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: did at Cincinnati was unbelievable. But he his first thing
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: that made you go, huh, is he hired an air
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: raid offensive coordinator. Oh, but they're going to run the ball. Well,
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: this is not what Wisconsin's done. And then the talent
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: is just completely eroded. And now how much of that
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: is they don't have enough nil versus bad evaluations or whatnot,
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: I don't know, like that just it's just roster they
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: don't have. You always kind of Wisconsin have great running backs.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: They don't have great running backs. Offensive line, they don't
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: have an offensive line. So I mean, it's just it's
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: it's imploded. And the scary thing for them is they
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: still have to play Oregon and Ohio State. Oh no,
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: they already played. They already played Oregon in Indiana. So
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's brutal. I think I think, you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: I know, the ad put out that statement kind of
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: like halfheartedly supporting Fickle. I think that's more buying himself
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: some time to raise more money.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: H Stuart Mendel joining us from The Athletic the Audible podcast.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: So tell us the story you told it in an
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: online people will read the athletic, but from from your
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: own words, your own mouth, your little field trip you
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: took this past week to go see Uh, I don't
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: know who you're seeing. Was it to see Bill or Jordan?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know who you were seeing there in Berkeley.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: I did see ch Harden, but that wasn't really the intention,
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: other than I just wanted to see the whole circus
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: up close, right, And they came to my sort of
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: backyard at Cal and yeah, like I got there early,
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: and I walk out on the field and you know,
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: the team's just starting to warm up. And who's the
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: first person I seek? Jordan And she's impossible to miss.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: She's surrounded by kind of an entourage. I had trouble
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: describing her outfit because I'm just not an expert on
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: women's clothes. But it was wild, just the whole you know,
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: there's Mike Lombardi walking by, who we had just written
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: a story that day before about him going to Saudi Arabia. Yeah, uh,
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: to try to raise money. Uh. And then I never
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: you know, I didn't cover I don't cover the NFL,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: so I've never been in a Bill Belichick press conference.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: And it was like a tiny little room at Cal Stadium, right,
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: so it's pretty close. And I I asked my question
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: and I got, uh call two three second pause and
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: then it is what it is. I was like, Okay,
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: I've I've passed that right a passage.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: The the interesting thing with North Carolina and Bill Belichick
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and the wild thing is and I'm curious, just thinking
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: out loud here, you know that the finalists came out
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: or the second group of finalists not and finalists per
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: se for the Hall of Fame. He's up for the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time, eligible
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: for the first time. The Scheyon kind of thinks snow
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Brainder is going to get in over our guy Mike Holmberan,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: who's going to probably have to wait another year. Yet
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: he's still coaching in college. So I don't know if
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: maybe some voters will when they discuss that they do
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: it a little room, and if they'll maybe that'll change
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: things a little bit. But the Belichick aura to me
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: has worn off as someone who covered the NFL for
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: a long time and was, you know, their media day
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: with him and all these other places. In fact, we've
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: covered a game in New England when the Hawks went
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: back there and beat him on Sunday Night football. There
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: is the aura about Belichick. I just find it weird
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: to have an and they're on to two and two
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and four. They scored one hundred and twelve points all
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: season in in you know, in six games. Like It's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: just it's so weird how who and what he is
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: is just not transling. And I know Stuart that it
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't always translate from college to pro or pro to college.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: But this this thing that they're portraying is not coming
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: across on the field, is it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: No. I mean, you're not getting you know, first of all,
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: you're not getting peak Bill Belichick. You know, like he's
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: hired straight off a Super Bowl. Things had gone south
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: in New England already, and I you know, it's always
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: a little awkward to talk about Jordan in the context
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: of this, But I think that whole situation, I think
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: people in football have come to view as like New
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: England Patriots, Bill Belichick would not get He would not
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: have somebody like that so inserted into his professional life.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: He wouldn't have that as a distraction. She's down there
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: visiting him before the games, and so that's kind of
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: like the huh, what's going on here. Part of it,
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: the football part of it is they he and the
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Bardi zero college football experience. They get hired two days
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: after the transfer portal opens. They have no pre existing
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: relationships or anything, and they need to go build a roster.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: And so you think, oh, one way they could do
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: that to hire a bunch of coaches who are in
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: college football and who have those relationships. They didn't do that.
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: Freddie Kitchens as the ROFC like they they were dead
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: set on turning this into an NFL franchise, and I
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: think they're finding out the hard way, the very hard way.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: They are definitely two different sports in that conference.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Steward, Is that conference in your mind a one or
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: two bid league? It feels like Miami still very much alive,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: could run the table or maybe go and just lose
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: a conference title game. Georgia Tech and Haines king Man.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: They're undefeated at seven to zero, ranks seventh in the country.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: So is it a one bid league for sure? Is
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: there a chance two teams from the ACC get in?
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: You know, I think there are two teams. Miami in particular.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Miami went out and beat Notre Dame. They also beat
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: USF who's top twenty five team, Like they can afford
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: to take a lost maybe even two off of an
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: ACC play and still have a pretty good resume. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: Georgia Tech, whose schedule has turned out to be pretty
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: light in the ACC, have a chance to beat Georgia
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: at the end. So I think if those teams do
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: that and then aren't in the don't win the conference title. Yeah,
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: they're absolutely in the mix for at large Berth. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: don't know that anybody else in the AEC would be.
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: And then the problem for the Big twelve is that
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: they don't have any team. They don't have any team.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: They have a big non conference then like that, so
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: that I have trouble seeing in a large birth.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, b Y used to be the best team maybe,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: but their non conference was, to say the least not good.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Along the way, final thing for you, Stewart the game
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Number three Texas A and M. A lot
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: of people think Texas A and M may be the
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: best team in the country. You wrote about Ohio State
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: and what they've done in their resume. When you kind
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: of look deeper into the resumes, you know, especially with
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the Washington kind of stumbling last week and things like that,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: maybe that Ohio State resume isn't as good even though
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: they're still up there. Hard to vote against a team
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that hasn't lost in Forever Texas A and M number three,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: they go to number twenty LSU. Brian Kelly and LSU
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: two and two in the SEC five and two overall,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: clinging to hopes that they can get somewhere this season.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: But boy, what would a loss do for not just
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: LSU this year, but Brian Kelly as a whole.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: They played A and M this week, and they go
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: to Alabama in the game after that, and he cannot
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: lose both those games. I mean, he just can't. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: think he might get fired after the second of those losses. Now,
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: it would do, but it would do a lot for
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: him to you know, let's say he wins this week, right,
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: they would jump up the rankings. They'd be back being
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: talked about in playoff contention. Like, it's just amazing how
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: much hit the perception of him could change based on
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: a couple of weeks. I don't. I think it's definitely possible.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: I mean, A and M had trouble with Arkansas last week.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: Even though LSU lost to and Andy, which I know
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: their fans are not taking well even though Andy's good
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: this year, the silver Lining with Garrett Mesmeyer had a
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: really good game. You know it was frankly mystifying the
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: LSU's defense play as poor way as it did. That
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: has not been the problem at this point. So I
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: do think Elis you can win it, and I think
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: he needs to win it because I would not want
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: to stake my future on winning in Tuscalusa against that
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Alabama team is playing so well.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: What makes college football fun? Though? Like one game can
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: just change everything one way or the other. All right,
• 30:09

  Speaker 2: and every week. Hello, sir, how are you?
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: How's it going good?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Some good? I'm good, I'm good. We got it. We're
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: into a bye week, sir. We're into a week seven
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: weeks in of a seventeen game schedules. If Mike Holmbrian
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: was drawing up a schedule at the start of a
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: season and now you were you, they still had sixteen
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: games back when you were coaching. Sounds like a zillion
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: years ago. Wasn't that long they switched to seventeen, But nevertheless,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: you get the point sixteen seventeen game schedule. How many
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: weeks in would you want your your bye week?
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I like to split it in a half exactly, but
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: normally that didn't happen. But they're pretty close now and
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: coming off a win and being able to catch your
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: breath and maybe relaxed just a little bit. It's a
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: good thing.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'm ticket back. I believe you. Tell me if I'm wrong,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I believe didn't you usually have some incentives for your
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: guys going into a bye week, like, hey, let's let's
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: win this thing and we're gonna we'll definitely shut her
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: down for the entire week. And maybe there's some NFLPA
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: stuff involved, but it feels like I remember that there
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: was some pretty good incentives and maybe not just you,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: but other coaches around the league, like, hey, big game
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: before the bye week, let's you want an extra day
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: or two, Let's let's get this win today.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: That's what you do, you know, That's why I did it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: And uh, and we were fortunate have to win the
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: game before the buye. I may give them a couple
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: extra days. You have to you have to use the
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: bye week a little bit excuse me for practice, just
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: a little bit. But then it is a it is
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: a time to refresh heel up, uh physically and mentally
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: and then come back just firing away when after the buye.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that's that's quite an incentive. And they understood,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: believe me. Believe me, they understood the incentive.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I know I would imagine, so like i'llgroom with us,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: all right, let's uh, let's look back on Monday and
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: then kind of look where we are seven games in,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: not quite the halfway mark of the season, but about
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: forty percent in and we'll get some thoughts. Let me
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: first start Monday. I. I don't know what your schedule was,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: so my apologies in that regard. I know with the
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: baseball there's been a lot of stuff kind of shuffled aside.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: So if you've already talked about this, my apologies, at
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: least I haven't heard it. Maybe our listeners haven't either.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: No problem.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you about this tendency that now
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: we have seen. We talked about it with Jalen Milroe
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago. They and then the thing with
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Monday with Cooper Cup throwing a pass when you're basically
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: in the red zone and your offense just in Darnold's
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: playing well and you're rolling there's this weird for a
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: very conservative team by and large, in a conservative head coach,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: they've gone down this road a few times of like
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: the trick plays and trick o ration. I believe that
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: you weren't always a fan of that, in fact, to
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: the contrary. But what are my combrin's thoughts of, like, hey,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: we're rolling along, let's let's have Cooper Cup throw a
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: pass and see what happens.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know it that when he threw that one,
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going why, I'm going why why? Now had it worked?
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: We were just said wow, but instead I use the
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: other word why, you know? And I again, honest to goodness,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: it goes back to my high school coaching days and
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: we played in a big playoff game in California and
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people in the stadium, and
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: we were doing pretty good. I think we had about
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: twenty point lead just before the half and we were
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: going down to score and I called, and I know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: ever do that? I called a double reverse pass and
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: it got intercepted and run back and I said, at
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: that time that had to be shoot. That had to
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: be how many years ago? At that time, I said,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: never again? Yeah, never again am I going to do that?
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: And that's that was my philosophy. Now, clearly Clint has
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: a different philosophy. They have tried it a couple of times,
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: little things. It hasn't worked very well for him. So
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: it just you do you really have to think about
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: what the advantage was a disadvantage, and you'd like it
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: to work, and it's cool if it works, but a
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: lot of times they don't work.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I think that was like one of the one of
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the things, one of the maybe few things. But you
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: and Pete kind of had that in comics. We never
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: really saw that here with you during your tenure here
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: in Seattle, and then when Pete was here, the only
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: time I remember him really doing it for the most part,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: was kind of out of desperation in the NFC Champan
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Chip game against Green Bay when John Ryan through the
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: punter through the pass to Gary Gillian right of the
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: on the fake field goal. Right, that was and that
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: felt almost like kind of last gasp. But they were
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: down by thirteen or whatever at the time, right, And
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, maybe that's when you have to pull
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: that thing out, like in a desperate situation, but not
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: when you're dominating a game, right, Mike. I just that
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: just seemed odd to me.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: No, it was odd, And I to your point, that's
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: exactly why you probably don't have to do that. You're
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: you're you're rolling, it's going, good things are going. You
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: don't have to pull one out of your pocket.
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: You can just stay with what you what you're going with. Uh,
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Like I said, though, you know what and look at
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty careful about criticizing play calls because I you know,
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: of course I never made a mistake. No, I know
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: that the uh yeah notice, but that one, that one
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: surprised me. It really did.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of surprised us. All live and learn
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: to move on. Mike Holmgren joining us here on the
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Beacon plumbing hotline. All right, let's get Mike Mike hong
• 41:59

  Speaker 2: nine point one four. He's eighth in touchdowns with twelve.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: His touchdown percentage, which I think is sometimes a better indicator,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: he's fourth six point three percent of his passes, fourth
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: in the league go for touchdowns along the way. His
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: interception percentage a little higher than he wants. Mid their
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: fifteenth in the league at four. He's got four interceptions
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: on the season. Average pass length nine point one nine
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: yards that is number one in the league. Average pass
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: length completion eight point six nine also number one in
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: the NFL. His passer rating is one O nine to
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: two is number four. So Mike ho Longrin, you're sitting
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: in the office and you're going Sam Donald's sitting across
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: from you. You're having your your mid season grades. What
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: are you telling him?
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: I'm telling him, you're off to a great start, and
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: you're you're going through the positives, and then then all
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, if there are some things that you
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: feel could be better, you touch on those two. Everything's
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: not everyone's not peaches and cream. You know, you got
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: to kind of make sure you're still teaching and make
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: suring he's still striving. And but but they're off to
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: a great start and he's off to a great start,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: and now we have to but now we can prove
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: how can he be better? How can we ask a
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: little more and then do it? And that's that's my approach.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: I like that he's doing and I really think he's
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: He's everything they wanted him to be, and he can
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: He's playing well.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: They're averaging three point six eight yards per rush play,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: thirtieth in the league. They're one oh six point one
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: yards per game, that's nineteenth in the league passing numbers
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: who went through SAMs and they kind of equate to
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: what the team stats are as well. One of the
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: best passing teams in the league. But again, they keep
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: talking about running the ball, Mike, why do you think
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: it's been such a struggle now they just put a
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: good defense. I get it in Houston. But the oddest
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: thing again, second half ten carries fifty six yards for
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: ken Walker or non existent in the first half, and
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: then in some key situations it's not Walker at Sharbonne.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I for the life of me, Mike, I can't get
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I can't get by that. But it's not just ken
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Walker than not getting enough opportunities because sometimes the stuff
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: isn't there. But what do you see just all around,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: whether it's the run blocking, the decisions who's gonna run,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: how they're going to run, what do you see in
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: that run game?
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: I think I think they they kind of back away
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: from it a little too soon, in my opinion, But
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: also I think I think they're still and it's we're
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: halfway through almost so we should be beyond this. But
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I still think they're working up front on how to
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: do things with the lineman they have, and then let's
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: stay with it or we have to throw it more
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: or I would like to see more. I think the
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: more play action pass that's been very effective for them,
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: the more they do that they can incorporate more runs,
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: and instead of the running game helping the passing game,
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: it would be the other way around. The play action
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: pass would help the running game. And then call runs
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: instead of first down, call them on second and ten
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: or second to eight. You know, you can mix up
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: your play selection just a little bit. If I'm Clinton,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm looking at too in this bye week.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: You know, those types of things, because what it turns
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: out to be, they have not been very good on
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: third down. That's that's hurt them. And so that's another
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: thing they have to look at. But that's all part
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: of the running game. I think they're still looking to
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: see what they can do upfront.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to Mike's point, thirty eight out of thirty two
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: teams in the NFL on third down percentage.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it has not. It has not been good.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: And and and they're better yet, you know what, they
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: keep winning. They winning because they have a really outstanding
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: they've got they understand it, they have an outstanding defense.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: They're playing that way. Also, the teams they've played for
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: some reason, they come in and they do goofy stuff.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: They've been a little bit fortunate, No, they've been a
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: little bit fortunate.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, there's there's no doubt. Michael Ungrew, I'll
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: go back to run the ball. We've had this discussion before,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: and you know, like we always try to say on
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the show, like I one guy that we have on
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: the radio station has been a play caller in the
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: NFL's names of Michael Hongren. So so like the rest
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: of us, you know, in everybody who thinks that they're
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: a you know, closet or an armchair offensive coordinator play caller,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: none of us really understand. But I think it's important
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: to mention too, like you say, to get away from it.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the hardest thing when you're calling plays in
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: the NFL is patients. Whatever your game plan is going
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: in right, like whatever you have you've done for all
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: your game planning for the week, all the hours you
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: put in the film study. I think you've said this before.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the hardest thing is just the apps the
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: patience to stick with what you.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: Believe that's right and then that that's exactly right. And
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: then the other thing is to understand in a very
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: quick period of time why it's not working, if it's
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: not working, and be honest about it and be honest
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: with your coke and get the information you need from upstairs.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Why we thought this would work? Why didn't it work?
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: And you have to know those things quickly so you
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: can adjust on the run during the game. So but yeah,
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: it listen, play calling was that's why I love play calling.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: I loved it. But it is hard and it's frustrating
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: at times.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: That's a fascinating part of it. We haven't talked about that. So, yeah,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: you've got you know, your whatever, however you distribute your
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: offensive We'll just go offense here. But however you distribute
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: your offensive. Coaches, now, you always had at least a
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: name and offensive coordinator, but you were the play caller.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: But assume your offense. I'm sure your OC was upstairs.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: You may have an offensive line coach, receivers, coach, running backs,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: coach summer downstairs. Some are upstairs. You've got other you know,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: the offensive analysts they call them now and things like that.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: So when they're going through that, what are they looking for, like, Okay,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: we're not able to run the ball here?
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Because they'll say, listen, our right guards not winning a battle.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: What they're doing schematic? Is it like a combination. How
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: does that process work?
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's the information you asked for during the
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: football game, you know. And I had the privilege of
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: and it really helped me in my career of working
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: to the forty nine ers right away. And my job
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: was I was upstairs as an assistant coach, not knowing
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: what my job was my first game, but I charted
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: all a second, every secondary rotation, every player in the secondary,
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: and then Bill when the defensive come off, he'd want
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: that information, and so I did the same thing. Jim
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: Zorn gave me what the secretary the secondary was doing.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: I left Tom Levat alone, you know, as an offensive
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: line coach, and I trusted him and so he worked
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: that out. But they give me information to help you
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: call the game, and it was vitally important. And then
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: the other thing I just want to say, then, I
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: want when I became coordinator at the forty nine ers, Well,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: the whole time I was upstairs, I was calling the
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: game upstairs, not down on the field. And it really
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: puzzles me sometimes I thought that was much better, much
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: better calling the game from the press box or the
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: box you're in, you know, and you don't have all
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: the craziness going on on the sidelines and all that.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: You can think, you can write, you can spread out,
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: you know, and now guys, you see guys on the
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: field a lot more. Now I became a head coach,
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: I had to do it on the field. But I
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: think if I had a choice, upstairs is better.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sort McDonald calling the defensive plays far the
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: same way right, leading on and Derdey, who's a defensive coordinator,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: who's probably upstairs going Okay, I saw this, I saw this.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Here's what CJ. Stroud's doing, or whatever the case is.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: But exactly, yeah, it feels that way. Listen, we're niitpicking here.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: They're five and two. They're having a hell of the season.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: It's just the running of the football. And like you mentioned,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: like not many games you convert one third down I
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: think is what they did the other day and still win.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: That's it and have four turnovers. But you mentioned it,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: it's because the other side of the ball. You know,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: we all heard about Mike McDonald when he got hired.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: We knew. I saw it. I think you and I
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: talked about it. I covered the game in Baltimore the
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: year before, and when they went to Baltimore and just
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: got I mean, I've never seen a Seahawks team get
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: manhandled like they did in Baltimore by Mike McDonald's defense
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: that day. I mean, it was terrifying. And he comes
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: in and it's it hasn't taken long for them to
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: be one of the top three or four defenses in
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: the NFL. What jumps out at you about what they've
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: done first half, especially of this season on defense, Mike.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I think they we started with a defensive lion.
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: I think they really have a nice combination of defensive
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: linemen and and with the past rush we saw for
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Mimoso and and you know.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: He yeah, yeah, but DeMarcus Lawrence has made a difference. Huh,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Like he's made a big difference. DeMarcus Lawrence. Yeah, number zero,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawrence. So they they've done nice, a nice job
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: there with personnel first of all, and they're really good.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: They're really good upfront, and then they're middle linebacker is
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: really good. Getting him, I don't know how they got him.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I would never have traded him, but
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: they got him, and so they have the pieces and
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: then how you know that is their secondary is they
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: haven't played their guys. They've been hurt.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: No, they've been hurt. And this is exactly right, it's amazing.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: If I'm going in against them, I'm saying, oh, I'm
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: licking my chops at the secondary, Look at the guys
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: are they're not playing? But you know they have functioned well.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: Why because of the guys up front and the pressure
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: they put on the opposing quarterback. Having said that, I
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: don't think I don't think the teams they played have
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: been particularly strong upfront, and so it's kind of worked well.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: So now they got to keep it going.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking of you, I like, Mike Clomber's
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: prepping to go against the Seahawks, and you're like, Okay,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: no jul In Love, no Devin Witherspoon. The week before
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Rollan was out, we're down to We're down to Tayo
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Katta in the secondary. And you know whoever they've picked
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: up off the street to go with job right, although
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: you know who has flash? He really flashed money, even
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: wore a number three who looks a lot different than
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: the old number three. Here the guy that play quarterback
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: a little taller.
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: But I don't know, I.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Mean, I know the obvious comparisons are to Cam because
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: he's a tall and big safety. I don't know if
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: he's No One's Cam, But boy, he started to make
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: an impact, isn't he.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: He really is. I mean he's he's got great size,
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: first of all, kind of a unique athlete for the position.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: And you know, he really stepped up and made some
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: plays and it's nice to see him. That's that's another
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: good addition. He's a young guy who was playing well.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: That's a credit to Mike and how he's done his defense,
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: how they practiced, how they taught, and then I think
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: they went into the game and saying that, okay, I
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: don't if we don't give Stroud time, then he can't
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: pick on these guys. You know. So the pass rush
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: and how he called the defensive game that was hugueally
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: important and it was the right thing. Yeah.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I love watching Jared Reid still seems to be, you know,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: killing father time. You don't beat father time all that often,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: but Jay Reid's making a difference out there for them too.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Mike great stuff. Is always appreciate having you on no
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: bye week for you. Keep on working, keep on grinding, sir.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah you toobe.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, because we were on one to two yesterday and
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: the day before because of early cracking game, right, and
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: so it was Softy in Dick snatched up our picks.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: They did, and they got an easy one because I
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: think on Monday Softy picked Seattle over Houston one is

  Speaker 8: three point three KJR FM.
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: As for the Mariners, I've moved on. They had a
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: good run, tough loss. We'll get him next year. My
• 55:48
  Speaker 9: real question is if they keep Dan Wilson as manager.
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: Is that going to affect the re signing of Josh Naylor.
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: Well he look at that and say, I don't want
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: to be here because that guy doesn't know what he's doing.
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: Just food for thought.
• 56:02
  Speaker 10: I guess I'm just gonna wait till the World Series
• 56:05
  Speaker 10: plays out before I know how I feel about the situation.
• 56:09
  Speaker 10: If the Blue Jays win the World Series, then I'm
• 56:12
  Speaker 10: gonna be really really pissed. If the Blue Jays get swept,
• 56:18
  Speaker 10: then I probably won't feel as bad. So I don't
• 56:23
  Speaker 10: know if I'm the only one feeling that way, but
• 56:25
  Speaker 10: that's just how I feel.
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: I'm okay. I had my morning as soon as we
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: lost the two to zero and three to one lead.
• 56:32
  Speaker 11: I hate to say it, but the Bats were just trash.
• 56:36
  Speaker 11: But no, my mind now is on ownership and if
• 56:39
  Speaker 11: they're just gonna pull what they did after the twenty
• 56:41
  Speaker 11: twenty three season where they just basically cut payroll.
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: You know, we are lacked investing in the team whatsoever.
• 56:48
  Speaker 11: You know, are we gonna see nailor lead to like
• 56:50
  Speaker 11: the Phillies or something for like a five year, ninety
• 56:52
  Speaker 11: million dollar deal.
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: Are they finally gonna be about winning? I doubt it?
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Those are Those are three of the most elite best
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: talkbacks that we have had in a while. They've got
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: our people like that is that is elite. I love that.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Let me hit a couple of those things. One. I
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: know we live in a world where we want people
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: to get fired. I get that. And you know, you
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: listen to Nathan Chris yesterday talked about that. You know,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: I mean they put Wilson in the category of probably
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: incompetent as far as the major league manager. He's not
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: going anywhere. They're having a news conference tomorrow. It's Jerry
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Justin and Dan mm hmm. That's you. Now, there have
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: been times before where they've run guys out in different sports,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: different teams Jim Morra and postseason news conference and then
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: fired the next day. But I don't that they would
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: have already done something. So he's coming back. Two, I'm
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: with you know the last guy said it. Well, yeah,
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: I think let's see what the off season brings. Are
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: you going to run it back? Well, to run it back,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: you've got to invest more money. You assuming Polanco wants
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: more and opts out of this player option, assuming that
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Naylor is going to get him. He's got an operation,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: he's gonna have opportunities, and you got to pay him.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: So that payroll will have to increase, not just because
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Huo's contract goes up and things like that. It's gonna
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: have to increase. So let's see if they're able to
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: do that. Coming up by well, i'll tell you what's
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: coming up in the next sagn anyway, let's say, because
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: we have more talkbacks coming up. But let's get to
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: fact or fiction of.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Cour's that to go glad you're with us, it's your
• 58:28

• 59:06
  Speaker 2: we Us didn't have a lot of picks, only had three.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: I missed on Calm minus ten against North Carolina. They won,
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: just got a little too close for comfort there, but
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: I was a win. That was a loss. Yeah, I
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: did win with Georgia and minus seven and a half
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: against Old Miss. Told you told you jo Miss is
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: not very good and Andrews. I should have talked to
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: him out of this one. I don't know what I
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: was thinking. He lost Atlanta plus one at San Francisco.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: I was that was not a good pick. The rooting
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: interest part, I know, and I should I just didn't
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: like that pick and forty nine or just keep winning.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: They're just pissing us all off anyway.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, despite their injuries.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am going with a Stuart Mandel pick, ladies.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: And okay, let's go.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: If you were listening to Stuart Mandel an hour ago.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: He had a great line and he said the following,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: don't look at the number in front of the team.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what was he referring to. He was
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: referring to Washington, New Florida head coach Jedfish and the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Washington Huskies taking on Illinois. Now, the Huskies are favored,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: and I'm taking them because they're only They're favored by
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: minus four and a half. They don't have to do much.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I think they gonna win out right, And yeah, they
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: got to win by five or more. I think they
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: win by a touchdown or more at least against Illinois.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: And Illinois might be ranked twenty third in the country.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Washington is a weird football team. Maryland they got the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: win outside of that, and I guess Wazoo. They don't
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: win on the road under Jedfish. They just don't. Not
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: a good team on the road at home. Really good
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: football team, really good football team. I'm going Washington minus
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: four and a half fact four nine four to five
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: to one against the fighting line nine Washington minus four
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: and a half fact over Illinois four nine four or
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: five one. If you disagree, even if you're a coop.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Don't be disagreeing with me here. This is an easy pick.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good pick fiction four, nine, four
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: or five one. If you disagree, now listen. Based on
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: our scoring this year, our particular show, I can understand
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: why I'm sitting at a solid six and thirteen on
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: the year soon to be seven and seven and fourteen
• 1:01:32

• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: around fifty percent here when it's all said and done.

  Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing. I'm promising wout I am starts
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: with this pick. Now, you're trying to win one thousand
• 1:01:44

• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: We used to call him something else and all of that. Yes,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: we will. I want to hit on this real quick.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: We got a bunch of talk cracks. We have a
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: bunch on our NBA conversation for so we brought this
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: up in the headline and throughout the other The day,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: the Squad School District reinstated Peyton belor at Skyline. Skyline's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: one of the premier college football programs, at least it
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: has been perennially. It's they've been down a little bit
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: last couple years. Peyon's gotten back up. What they're doing
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: he's got a bunch of ex Skyline guys on his
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: on his staff. Their Skyline throw and through Gino and
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: a bunch of and some other guys too, And you know,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: it's the great Skyline teams in the past where guys
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: like Cason Williams and Jake Heaps went and played. Steve
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Jervis was their coach for a long time, did a
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: great job there. I think Matt Taylor was a guy
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: that followed him, also won a state championship. We did
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: a few games up there on kJ R over the years,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: and I was always just so impressed by the support
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: they got from their community up there on the ridge.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: It was awesome up on top of the hill in Issaquad.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: What they did last week is everything wrong in youth
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: and high school sports this day. I thought, when my
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: kids were playing, we had a woman in our in
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: our world out in Maple Valley that her kid wasn't
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: getting what he needed to in terms of what he
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: thought for a feeder program for basketball. She was on
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: a committee, she fired a guy, hired another guy that
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: was his personal trainer, tried to get him on the
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: varsity as a freshman. I mean, just I saw all
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: kinds of stuff like that all the time. So a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: group of people try to run a long time football
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: coach out. Saw a lot of people try to run
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: a long time basketball coach out why because they didn't
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: like him. One time a coach yelled at somebody.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Peyton did, other than my understanding
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: is after checking with a bunch of people, he benched
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: a senior quarterback who wasn't very good but whose parents
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: had influence on the district and the principal for a
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: sophomore quarterback who has done nothing but lead them to
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: the King Coach title. I know that they're a better
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: football team because I know who they lost to early
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: in the year, and they shouldn't have lost of that team, Tohoma.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: So they made a switch for the betterment of the program,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: and he got suspended accusations that were untrue. Don't ever
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: be that parent, man, don't ever be that parent. It's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: just it's not just Peyton because we're friends and he's
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: a kug and no, no, this is bigger than that.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: This is what everything wrong in youth sports. But it
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: was right there for all of us to see. There's
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: a shining example of everything wrong in youth sports and
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: high school sports. And you know what everything is parents,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: You stop it. At last YSA Quad did the right
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: thing in the end. All right, Well, here's some more
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: talkbacks coming up next.
• 1:05:28

• 1:05:54
  Speaker 12: Regarding the NBA talk, I just I'm done waiting. If
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: there's an official announcement, main sure, I'll go nuts that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 12: and then you'll have my attention back.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: But someone once described it. It might have even been
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: on your shows.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 12: People are just not interested in every quarter turn of
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: the screw anymore regarding expansion, but we're not even getting that.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 12: We're going backwards. So wake me up when there's announcement
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: other than that, I'm.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 13: Out, Hey there, Ian Jessamine and Anders Chris Imburien.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: You know, with baseball season.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 13: Over and I've been doing this for a couple of years,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 13: and with the NBA saying.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Screw you, we don't care about you, well, you know what, NBA.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: I haven't cared about you since gas was two fifty
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: a gallon.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: So just give me this sounder and let's go cracking.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 14: Thank you, Ian, Glad we don't have to hear the NBA,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 14: at least during your show. The NBA has been dead
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 14: to me since they pulled the team from haven't watched
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 14: a game, haven't listened to a game, and will not.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 14: They will not get a penny from me in any
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 14: shape or form.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: Until they're back.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 14: Thanks again. I'm Kenneth from Everett here. I have a
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 14: good one.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: I had a couple of we'll get to in a second.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: You missed it earlier. Jess kind of screwed up the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: bit because I tried to predict what.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: She was going to do, and I knew what you
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: were going to know, No, you did not.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: Know what I was gonna do. I just can't. But
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I think you just were busy, you know. I think
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: you got busy in the headlines, which you always write
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: for me, and I thank you immensely for that. But
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: I looked in the headlines and I thought for sure
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: she would have Opening Night from the National Basketball Association,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: some score in there that I and I was ready
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: to tee it up. I said, I'm gonna read it's
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: I'm bringing it back from pucking myself about a decade ago.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: It's refuse to talk hashtag refused to talk, and we're
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: doing that with the NBA. Took me eighteen years to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: get here, but refuse to talk, refuse to watch talk whatever.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: On this show one to three, it's a complete Nutter
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: blackout until we get a team back. They give us
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: some realistic hope instead of Adam silver spinning that he
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: does all the time. We got two more hit a
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: one hit him.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 6: The NBA free zone is my new favorite place to be.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: Screw the NBA.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 9: If I don't want the son, expect they kiss my ass.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 6: Wrap up my feelings.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: On the season, it was amazing Cal doing big business,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 13: Julio eating up, call him Junio, July Yo, whatever, but
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 13: for a doll come down to the end with the
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 13: manager making a bad decision. I hope this time next
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 13: year is the only thing Dan Wilson is managing is
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: a spirit Halloween.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: But he might time up and put.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: Christmas in.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: All right. That was a little more of Marinice Dave.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: It's okay for Dan. I like Dan. I hate the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: fact that Dan's getting just absolutely crushed. He's meeting with
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: the media tomorrow with Jerry and and Justin So if
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: you think there was something going to happen, it's not
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: not that it was. But again, unless they pulled Jim Moore.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: Junior, I can't see that happening.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: I can't see that happening either. That's always the most
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: eventful press conference of the year. By the way, at
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: the end of the year Jerry Depoto press conference. Can't
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: wait to see what he says. Maybe it'll be uneventful
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: and I'll be good. Lots of questions to be asked.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: We'll play that tomorrow as far as they refuse to talk.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Listen, everyone has their own way to protesting
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: soft He started day one, no more Starbucks period, end
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: of story. Hasn't gone back since. God bless him for that.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: And he does like caffeine. So I respect that. I
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: profited from the NBA for a few years thanks to
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: the Blazers in their pregame shows on TV. But since
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: I can't profit for him anymore, guess what I'm doing.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: Refuse to talk. It's one hundred percent out. Refuse to talk,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: you guys, are jealous still across the street. We came
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: up with that, weren't you because you didn't want to
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: have to talk about him, But you had to trust
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: me be honest with you, and we have to be nice.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: I know, I know, as the flash if you can't
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 5: say what you want to say.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: It was yet we had two options here, yell and
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: scream about him every day or refuse to talk about him.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: It was creative. I respected it.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: That's it for us. Kevin Harlan today, Mike Florio today.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: Hopefully he's not being a little whiny you know what
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: this time? So if he blew me off out two
