- 1:55Speaker 7: Will tell you all about it with what's on tap
- 1:58Speaker 7: here in a matter of mores.
- 2:00Speaker 1: But I know that people really don't want to think
- 2:03Speaker 1: about baseball. I realized that. I get that.
- 2:07Speaker 7: I was kind of right there with you heading into
- 2:09Speaker 7: the weekend, getting so close to the World Series and
- 2:13Speaker 7: just missing it.
- 2:14Speaker 1: And so you know, it does.
- 2:16Speaker 7: Feel like we should be still be playing baseball, just
- 2:19Speaker 7: really does.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be great, it'd be awesome to right now
- 2:22Speaker 1: be hosting World Series games.
- 2:24Speaker 6: To care about it, Yeah that's right.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Well, yeah, to care about it.
- 2:29Speaker 7: But I'll tell you the baseball seam head in me
- 2:32Speaker 7: took over. I certainly did pay attention on Friday, and
- 2:36Speaker 7: I did pay attention on Saturday, and last night I
- 2:40Speaker 7: was ready front and center to watch me some World Series,
- 2:43Speaker 7: And oh, my goodness, am I glad that I did,
- 2:46Speaker 7: because we probably witnessed one of the greatest baseball games
- 2:50Speaker 7: in the history of the sport last night, unbelievable eighteen innings.
- 2:57Speaker 7: Stayed up past midnight to watch all eighteen innings before
- 3:00Speaker 7: Freddie Freeman walked it off in the bottom of the
- 3:04Speaker 7: eighteenth with a solo home run. History being made practically
- 3:08Speaker 7: every pitch every inning last night. It was one of
- 3:12Speaker 7: the greatest games you will ever see. And even though
- 3:15Speaker 7: we hate both the participants right now, certainly it was
- 3:19Speaker 7: worth checking out and leading the show with here today.
- 3:21Speaker 5: Well, good for you for staying up the whole way.
- 3:23Speaker 5: I quit after seventeen innings.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I did you and Mary Hart's husband apparently, who's Mary Hart?
- 3:30Speaker 7: She's the woman she's from entertainment tonight. She sits there
- 3:34Speaker 7: and the Dodgers. She sat there for twenty five years.
- 3:36Speaker 7: She sits in the front row of every Dodgers game,
- 3:38Speaker 7: her and her rich husband. No, she didn't. She You
- 3:42Speaker 7: could tell they were fighting. She was sitting there like
- 3:45Speaker 7: with her arms crossed because he was standing up. I
- 3:48Speaker 7: think he had to pooh. He is about one hundred
- 3:51Speaker 7: and so he's like, that's not you could tell that.
- 3:53Speaker 7: He was like, Mary, I'm starting till the end of
- 3:55Speaker 7: the fending and we don't start one. And so he
- 3:59Speaker 7: was like standing with one foot up the aisle while
- 4:02Speaker 7: she was in his seat. She moved one seat closer
- 4:05Speaker 7: just to prove how like she was practically grabbing the
- 4:08Speaker 7: guy next to her legs so that she didn't have
- 4:10Speaker 7: to go. So he for there she is right there,
- 4:12Speaker 7: right there in the highlight. She they just showed the
- 4:16Speaker 7: Will Smith home run or fly ball to the wall
- 4:19Speaker 7: and she actually stood up to grab her person.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Leave. Oh I just saw.
- 4:24Speaker 7: That for the first time anyway, So yeah, they laughed.
- 4:28Speaker 7: After the seventeenth you and the Hearts did the exact
- 4:30Speaker 7: same time.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was I didn't want to.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Normally I would not, but I was tired, and I'm like,
- 4:35Speaker 5: you know what I can I can watch the rest
- 4:37Speaker 5: of this tomorrow when I get up. And yet, what
- 4:39Speaker 5: I mean, the the game itself had just about everything.
- 4:43Speaker 5: I mean, some poor plays, like there were some misplays
- 4:46Speaker 5: and then teams take advantage of that early in the game.
- 4:49Speaker 5: And the first nine inning game, that is, the second
- 4:52Speaker 5: nine inning game, there wasn't as much going on, but
- 4:54Speaker 5: obviously the strategy comes into play where it's you score
- 4:57Speaker 5: one and you win, you know, presumably you kind of
- 5:01Speaker 5: feel like you will. Anyways, it was yesterday. My one
- 5:04Speaker 5: last thing was I'm torn or I didn't like where
- 5:07Speaker 5: where I was at because I was basically rooting for
- 5:10Speaker 5: both teams to not do well.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Well.
- 5:13Speaker 1: There was a bunch of that.
- 5:14Speaker 5: It was actually one of the more enjoyable games, not
- 5:16Speaker 5: just the the actual game itself, watching it as a
- 5:19Speaker 5: if you're just a baseball fan, all of the perfect
- 5:22Speaker 5: relay throws and the the off script plays that somebody
- 5:27Speaker 5: would come up with something big, but even more so
- 5:29Speaker 5: like I'm up there torn because I'm like, I don't
- 5:32Speaker 5: want you to come through right here, and then sure
- 5:35Speaker 5: enough they wouldn't come through it and come through, and
- 5:36Speaker 5: then the other teams up and they have the opportunity.
- 5:38Speaker 5: I'm like, well, I don't want you to come through
- 5:40Speaker 5: here either, and they wouldn't. And so it was actually
- 5:43Speaker 5: on a totally different front. It was it was good baseball,
- 5:47Speaker 5: and then it was it was high intensity. I mean,
- 5:50Speaker 5: the the you could you could cut the tension with
- 5:52Speaker 5: a knife. And then the fact that I really wanted
- 5:55Speaker 5: both teams to fail. They kind of both came through
- 5:58Speaker 5: there a whole bunch of times.
- 6:00Speaker 7: Yeah, it was two completely different games, literally, I mean
- 6:03Speaker 7: two nine inning games last night. And the first one
- 6:06Speaker 7: couldn't have been filled with more action. I mean between
- 6:09Speaker 7: mistakes that were prominent and then phenomenal plays and then
- 6:13Speaker 7: phenomenal individual play. I mean, was just one thing after another,
- 6:19Speaker 7: was back and forth. There were plenty of runs, but
- 6:22Speaker 7: not too many runs. It was you know, Pete Rose
- 6:25Speaker 7: used to tell me when I worked with him about
- 6:27Speaker 7: the nineteen seventy five game which the Red Sox faced
- 6:31Speaker 7: the Cincinnati Reds and it's considered the greatest game that
- 6:35Speaker 7: was ever played. And at one point Pete Rose apparently
- 6:39Speaker 7: some Red Sox or he slid into third base or
- 6:42Speaker 7: some Red Sox led into third base where he was
- 6:43Speaker 7: playing defense, and he said to them, can you believe
- 6:46Speaker 7: we're playing in the greatest game that's ever been played?
- 6:49Speaker 1: Like he knew it in the moment that it was.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And it was very similar.
- 6:54Speaker 7: The only difference is that Carlton Fisk had a walk
- 6:57Speaker 7: off home run.
- 6:57Speaker 1: In the twelfth, so it didn't make people way.
- 7:00Speaker 7: Another six innings, but that nine innings was very similar,
- 7:04Speaker 7: like back and forth, defense, offense, boneheaded plays. All of
- 7:08Speaker 7: it was being involved. And then in the second nine
- 7:11Speaker 7: innings there was no activity at all. Yeah, it was
- 7:15Speaker 7: nine innings of shutout baseball until Freddie Freeman hit the
- 7:18Speaker 7: home run. And it was pitchers deep, deep, because they
- 7:23Speaker 7: used almost everybody last night, performing in roles that they've
- 7:26Speaker 7: never performed in, and yet kept wiggling out of trouble.
- 7:30Speaker 7: I mean Will Klein, for example, was the last pitcher
- 7:33Speaker 7: the Dodgers used last night. He had never gone over
- 7:36Speaker 7: two innings as a professional baseball player, and they asked
- 7:40Speaker 7: him to pitch four innings last night, seventy pitches, and
- 7:44Speaker 7: his last one was maybe his best pitch that he
- 7:48Speaker 7: threw all night, a breaking ball that he struck out
- 7:51Speaker 7: a bat or to close out the top of the
- 7:53Speaker 7: eighteenth I mean stuff like that. I mean it was
- 7:55Speaker 7: very clear, and John Smoltz was sort of hinting at it.
- 7:58Speaker 7: I was actually thinking about you. It was very clear
- 8:01Speaker 7: that the hitters, once they reached a point, they were
- 8:06Speaker 7: all trying to hit a home run to end it.
- 8:07Speaker 1: The at bats got the at bats couldn't.
- 8:10Speaker 7: Have been sharper in the first nine innings like they
- 8:13Speaker 7: were just they were giving Tyler Glass now everything he
- 8:17Speaker 7: could handle on the Toronto side. And then in the
- 8:19Speaker 7: second nine innings, the bats just kept getting lazier. They
- 8:23Speaker 7: just kept trying to hit a home run so that
- 8:25Speaker 7: they could stop playing baseball last night. And it just
- 8:28Speaker 7: resulted in nothing but a slew of pop ups for
- 8:31Speaker 7: about nine straight innings, and nobody could put together a run.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Crazy stuff. Yeah, they couldn't.
- 8:37Speaker 5: And then when you would get the one opportunity, which
- 8:40Speaker 5: they were rare, because the guys, like you said, were
- 8:42Speaker 5: coming out of the bullpen and absolutely shoving. Even the
- 8:45Speaker 5: guys who hadn't pitched in months were coming out there,
- 8:47Speaker 5: and I mean unbelievably sharp, and I mean the Kershaw
- 8:51Speaker 5: coming in bases loaded, a guy that you know is
- 8:54Speaker 5: going to be first ballot Hall of Fame or arguably
- 8:56Speaker 5: one of the best left handed pitchers of all time,
- 8:58Speaker 5: and he struggled mighty in the playoffs. Everybody knows that
- 9:01Speaker 5: even this year he's got a fifteen ERA in the playoffs.
- 9:04Speaker 5: And yet you're like, well, this is might as well
- 9:06Speaker 5: add this to the you know, the pump and circumstance
- 9:09Speaker 5: surrounding this game that we've watched up to this point.
- 9:12Speaker 5: He comes in, gets it done. But then the next
- 9:14Speaker 5: guy that comes into herd Nandez kid. They're saying he
- 9:17Speaker 5: hasn't gotten it out in two months. And he looked
- 9:19Speaker 5: like he was a picture of the night.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he looked unbelievable.
- 9:23Speaker 5: It was pretty impressive the way in which they kind
- 9:26Speaker 5: of fought and battled and clawed, and yet yeah, you're right,
- 9:29Speaker 5: there was. You could see it in the player's face.
- 9:32Speaker 5: And that's the beauty of extra innings or late innings anyways,
- 9:35Speaker 5: is you're like, oh, I get the opportunity to be
- 9:37Speaker 5: the hero. Well, typically you won't end up being the
- 9:41Speaker 5: hero when you're trying to be the hero. I mean,
- 9:43Speaker 5: I can count on one hand how many times I
- 9:45Speaker 5: hit a home run when I was trying to hit
- 9:46Speaker 5: a home run. Most of the time you hit a
- 9:49Speaker 5: home run by just having a good ab and and
- 9:51Speaker 5: putting a good swing on it. And sure enough, if
- 9:53Speaker 5: it isn't the one guy that probably didn't ever change
- 9:56Speaker 5: his mindset, Probably if Freddie Freeman struggling to degree, but
- 10:00Speaker 5: he's the guy.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Like, I'm just gonna stay up in the middle do
- 10:03Speaker 1: what I do. If I buggy whip one.
- 10:05Speaker 5: Fine, and sure enough he's the guy that ends up
- 10:07Speaker 5: kind of staying on task, if you will, and it's
- 10:09Speaker 5: ends up getting the walk off home.
- 10:11Speaker 7: It was interesting his progression of it bats, especially once
- 10:14Speaker 7: he had four at bats in the extra innings and
- 10:17Speaker 7: he had opportunities to win it earlier. And he said
- 10:20Speaker 7: in his postgame interview, I just kept getting closer with
- 10:23Speaker 7: every swing. I could feel my swing was getting closer.
- 10:26Speaker 7: And he went from pop up to fly ball to
- 10:30Speaker 7: the track, to line drive one hundred and four mile
- 10:35Speaker 7: per hour off the bat, line drive to center field
- 10:38Speaker 7: that varshow made a great play on and then in
- 10:40Speaker 7: the last bat he hit it over the wall.
- 10:43Speaker 1: It was like, just stayed you're right, stayed on task.
- 10:47Speaker 7: It was just sort of a clinic in how to Okay,
- 10:50Speaker 7: I'm not going to change my approach here, and if
- 10:55Speaker 7: this thing goes long enough, it's gonna pay off.
- 10:57Speaker 1: And it did eighteen freaking innings.
- 11:00Speaker 6: It made me so happy. I didn't watch it.
- 11:02Speaker 8: I was I looked at the score. I was like, oh,
- 11:05Speaker 8: I think at one point it oh, at one point, yeah,
- 11:08Speaker 8: the Dodgers were up. Then then I saw that the
- 11:09Speaker 8: Blue Jays took the lead. Then the Dodgers tied it,
- 11:11Speaker 8: and then I told five iron, oh they're going to
- 11:14Speaker 8: extra innings.
- 11:15Speaker 6: And then I was like, all right, well, good night.
- 11:18Speaker 4: You missed it.
- 11:19Speaker 1: You missed it. It was unreal.
- 11:21Speaker 8: I really I didn't, because then I would have stayed
- 11:22Speaker 8: up till midnight and I would have been so mad.
- 11:24Speaker 7: Now at that point, you're like, I'm like, am I
- 11:26Speaker 7: really going to stop watching at eleven thirty? I'm not
- 11:28Speaker 7: going to get a good night's sleepy, So I just
- 11:31Speaker 7: you know, you might as well watch.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Jason Bateman stayed all eighteen innings.
- 11:35Speaker 6: He's a diehard Dodger.
- 11:36Speaker 7: Even the celebrities were staying all eighteen innings, which was
- 11:40Speaker 7: I thought pretty cool to see.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Uh.
- 11:43Speaker 7: But you mentioned that Kershaw moment, because that really was
- 11:47Speaker 7: a standout moment for me, because here you have one
- 11:49Speaker 7: of the greatest pictures of all time, who has struggled
- 11:51Speaker 7: his entire career. In the postseason, they put him on
- 11:53Speaker 7: the roster. He was only supposed to work like mop
- 11:56Speaker 7: up duty, and they put him in in the most
- 11:59Speaker 7: high leveraged situation of the entire game. Kershaw's got to
- 12:03Speaker 7: be thinking one like, Okay, this is the last juice
- 12:06Speaker 7: I'm going to feel as a baseball player, but did
- 12:08Speaker 7: it have to be this much juice?
- 12:11Speaker 3: Right?
- 12:11Speaker 7: And he came in with the bases loaded, facing Nathan Lucas,
- 12:15Speaker 7: who's not a great hitter, but he was pesky against
- 12:17Speaker 7: us for sure, and he threw he loaded up full count,
- 12:23Speaker 7: several foul balls that were hit off off of them,
- 12:28Speaker 7: and then when he had him three to two, he
- 12:31Speaker 7: threw three straight pitches out of the zone and Lucas
- 12:35Speaker 7: swung at all of them until he dribbled one into play,
- 12:38Speaker 7: which he almost beat out. But Kershaw could have very
- 12:42Speaker 7: if Lucas just lays off of one of those pitches
- 12:45Speaker 7: that were outside of the zone, Kershaw's the goat again
- 12:49Speaker 7: and they take the lead at that point, and then
- 12:51Speaker 7: he would also have to face Vladimir Guerrero on the
- 12:54Speaker 7: next batter. So that was incredibly intense. I mean, just
- 12:57Speaker 7: the whole game crazy. I mean, eighteen innings, that's enough.
- 13:02Speaker 1: And we don't mean talking about show hey yet, Oh jeez.
- 13:05Speaker 7: Nine at bats, got on base all nine times, was
- 13:08Speaker 7: intentionally walked four times, really intentionally walked five times. And
- 13:12Speaker 7: the reason because his first four at bats he had
- 13:15Speaker 7: four extra base hits two home runs and two doubles,
- 13:19Speaker 7: and John Schneider's like, that's it, and he's and Schneider
- 13:21Speaker 7: said afterwards, I'm not pitching to him the rest of
- 13:23Speaker 7: the series.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't either, And today he's going
- 13:27Speaker 5: to go out there and get the pitch too. So
- 13:28Speaker 5: it's I mean, it's that dude is Kate and I
- 13:32Speaker 5: probably had a half an hour conversation, probably lasted like
- 13:34Speaker 5: five innings of the extra innings, just about him and
- 13:37Speaker 5: how how much above the rest of baseball he is
- 13:42Speaker 5: and just seems to be. I mean, we remember Bonds
- 13:44Speaker 5: in his heyday when he was all juiced up, and
- 13:48Speaker 5: how that was seemed unfair and teams recognized it. They
- 13:52Speaker 5: weren't going to go after him unless they absolutely had to,
- 13:54Speaker 5: and he would then make you pay when you did.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I mean, show hey a little bit. In the last series.
- 13:59Speaker 5: I know, was scuffling after that first home run and
- 14:02Speaker 5: then was like oho for twenty or something like that.
- 14:05Speaker 5: It was in a real big slump and he was
- 14:07Speaker 5: kind of chasing. When he doesn't chase. I don't know
- 14:10Speaker 5: how you get the dude out. You just hope he
- 14:12Speaker 5: hits it. At somebody and if there's somebody that's, you know,
- 14:15Speaker 5: five hundred feet away from home that when they catch it,
- 14:18Speaker 5: it doesn't count. So it was unbelievable. The whole thing
- 14:22Speaker 5: was the the amount of action there was early in
- 14:25Speaker 5: that game was something I just haven't seen and it
- 14:29Speaker 5: was it was fundamental stuff.
- 14:31Speaker 1: The relay plays to home.
- 14:33Speaker 5: But then even the stuff like that, that throw that
- 14:35Speaker 5: Vlad through like that was great. There was no reason
- 14:38Speaker 5: really to make that throw to first. That's one where
- 14:40Speaker 5: you kind of tell a young short stop, don't throw it.
- 14:43Speaker 5: You're not gonna get him right, but he does. Vlad
- 14:45Speaker 5: comes off the base and then throws a seed while
- 14:47Speaker 5: he slips right on the money, picks throws him out.
- 14:50Speaker 5: It was that that walk. The thing that happened early
- 14:53Speaker 5: with Toronto where the they Bashett thought that it was
- 14:57Speaker 5: ballfour and it was ballfour and it's kind of a
- 15:00Speaker 5: little bit of a late call on the strike and
- 15:02Speaker 5: that he's out in no man's land with his head
- 15:04Speaker 5: up his butt to some degree, who knows, I mean,
- 15:07Speaker 5: that was no outs. You ended up letting them off
- 15:08Speaker 5: the hook there. There was multiple times where they they
- 15:11Speaker 5: let the team off the hook. Other times where they
- 15:13Speaker 5: just pitched themselves off the hook. There was, you know,
- 15:17Speaker 5: a hit like I said, or multiple hits where then
- 15:19Speaker 5: the relay throw was was perfectly executed and gunned somebody
- 15:23Speaker 5: down at the late it was. It was action packed
- 15:26Speaker 5: for sure, and if you're just a baseball fan, regardless
- 15:29Speaker 5: of whether or not you're scoring from the Mariners, it
- 15:31Speaker 5: was it was super enjoyable to watch. I just eventually
- 15:34Speaker 5: ran out of steam.
- 15:36Speaker 1: You mentioned the Guerrero play. I mean, it wasn't.
- 15:38Speaker 7: The throw is terrific, and he's a better defensive player
- 15:41Speaker 7: than he gets credit for. I mean, he's won a
- 15:42Speaker 7: Gold Club, but people usually just recognize him as a
- 15:45Speaker 7: you know, chubby hitter. But his decision to come off
- 15:50Speaker 7: the bag and go get the ball was the key
- 15:52Speaker 7: to that. His decisions say, there we have no shot
- 15:55Speaker 7: at this guy. So I'm going to meet this throw
- 15:58Speaker 7: that has no shot at get getting the runner. I'm
- 16:01Speaker 7: gonna meet it as close as I can to third base,
- 16:04Speaker 7: and I'm gonna throw it to get the base runner.
- 16:07Speaker 7: I mean, stuff like that was happening all night show.
- 16:09Speaker 7: Hay's home run the last time that Schneider chose to
- 16:13Speaker 7: pitch to him, which was the seventh inning of an
- 16:15Speaker 7: eighteen inning game. That's the last time, and he, of
- 16:18Speaker 7: course hits it out of the ballpark immediately after a
- 16:23Speaker 7: mound visit where they specifically told Sir Anthony Demingez, don't
- 16:28Speaker 7: throw him anything he can hit first pitch hammers it, oh,
- 16:33Speaker 7: the left center field wall. I mean, it was just
- 16:36Speaker 7: one thing after another until there was nothing after another.
- 16:40Speaker 7: Right for nine innings there was nothing that and even
- 16:44Speaker 7: that was compelling though, because the drought then became the story.
- 16:49Speaker 7: The lack of activity became the story. Is anybody going
- 16:53Speaker 7: to do anything to win this ballgame became the story.
- 16:57Speaker 7: It was two different games smashed together last night on
- 17:02Speaker 7: the world's biggest stage. And yes, you started the game saying,
- 17:06Speaker 7: I hate that we're not playing here. This would be
- 17:09Speaker 7: a home game for us, to be the first World
- 17:11Speaker 7: Series game we ever had to host. But just as
- 17:14Speaker 7: a baseball fan, as a sports fan man, to have
- 17:19Speaker 7: witnessed one of the greatest games ever played, it was unreal,
- 17:23Speaker 7: just unreal.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Well, the beauty of not I'm baseball, which they've always
- 17:25Speaker 5: said it doesn't have a clock. I mean we do
- 17:27Speaker 5: have a clock now, and then we have things to
- 17:29Speaker 5: speed up the game during the regular season with ghost
- 17:32Speaker 5: runners starting a second base. In the postseason, they go
- 17:35Speaker 5: back to the regular thing, the regular rules, and it's just, hey,
- 17:38Speaker 5: we're going to play this until we find a winner,
- 17:40Speaker 5: and you've got to earn it. And so it was
- 17:43Speaker 5: typically I think a lot of people will look at
- 17:45Speaker 5: baseball it's like, if it's a really good game quote
- 17:48Speaker 5: unquote good, they're like, well, then the pitchers just really
- 17:51Speaker 5: executed and it came down to just one mistake and
- 17:54Speaker 5: one capitalized swing. And yet yesterday kind of was like
- 17:59Speaker 5: a whole bunch of it was the mix and match
- 18:02Speaker 5: of everything, poor defense, and then you know they would
- 18:06Speaker 5: take advantage of that, and then it was great pitching.
- 18:10Speaker 5: And then it was better at bats than good pitching.
- 18:12Speaker 5: But then the pitching stepped up when all of a
- 18:14Speaker 5: sudden the traffic was on base, it kind of had everything.
- 18:17Speaker 5: We had guys stealing bags. It was unbelievable. And then, yeah,
- 18:20Speaker 5: the drought part of it became a giant story too,
- 18:23Speaker 5: because you could tell everybody was wanting to end that
- 18:25Speaker 5: bad boy. They wanted to be the hero, and the
- 18:27Speaker 5: pitchers were throwing good pitches to.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Not allow that to happen.
- 18:30Speaker 7: There was even a moment and it's the last thing
- 18:32Speaker 7: cool we got to get to what's on tap. Alejandro
- 18:35Speaker 7: Kirk had a big home run in this game, a
- 18:37Speaker 7: three run shot. Looked like Tyler Glass now was just
- 18:40Speaker 7: on his game and Kirk gets a three run homer
- 18:43Speaker 7: off of him, And even in that moment, it was like,
- 18:47Speaker 7: I think that's when I turned the page from I
- 18:49Speaker 7: don't even know if I want to watch.
- 18:50Speaker 1: This to like that is just that's so special. Like baseball.
- 18:55Speaker 7: You've got Glass now, big tall, good looking athlete looks
- 19:00Speaker 7: like seven foot tall Killian Murphy. I mean, he's like chiseled.
- 19:05Speaker 7: He's the guy that you picture. He's got these big
- 19:07Speaker 7: ass feet that that and this long ass stride and
- 19:11Speaker 7: he throws nasty stuff constantly, and if you went to
- 19:14Speaker 7: scout him, you'd be like, uh, oh, I just found
- 19:17Speaker 7: the next great picture. I mean, he just steps out
- 19:20Speaker 7: like that and he's facing off against some guy that
- 19:24Speaker 7: wont to tryout, five foot nothing, four hundred and nothing,
- 19:29Speaker 7: sitting there with his pot belly hanging over his belt,
- 19:33Speaker 7: and Alejandro Kirk in that moment, can be better than
- 19:37Speaker 7: seven foot Killian Murphy throwing thousand miles per hour on
- 19:41Speaker 7: the mound, and it was just like, no other sport, Yeah,
- 19:45Speaker 7: no other sport. And that happened where that tubagoo can
- 19:48Speaker 7: best that chiseled freak in a one on one showdown.
- 19:53Speaker 1: In the World Series.
- 19:54Speaker 5: It's a ball and nobody had hit a like six
- 19:57Speaker 5: hundred straight curveballs that he had thrown that he hadn't
- 19:59Speaker 5: hit out of the park. And sure enough, all one
- 20:01Speaker 5: hundred kirks sits on it and says, here you go. Yeah,
- 20:04Speaker 5: now you're instead of you being up too, we're up
- 20:06Speaker 5: by one. It was that back and forth.
- 20:07Speaker 1: It was never never are you going to c in
- 20:10Speaker 1: an NBA finals?
- 20:11Speaker 3: You know? Uh No?
- 20:13Speaker 7: G Sga is sitting at the top of the key
- 20:17Speaker 7: with the game on the line, and then the other
- 20:19Speaker 7: coach says, let's put our five foot four inch, three
- 20:21Speaker 7: hundred pound can't move laterally has is the slowest person
- 20:25Speaker 7: in the league, sat up. Let's put him on there
- 20:28Speaker 7: and see if he can stop him when we can
- 20:29Speaker 7: win the NBA title. It just it just doesn't happen.
- 20:32Speaker 7: And I just think it's a beautiful thing about the
- 20:34Speaker 7: game of baseball.
- 20:34Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tape, what's on tip?
- 20:41Speaker 4: What's on tep alright.
- 20:42Speaker 7: Six five and eighteen innings. Dodgers went over the Blue
- 20:45Speaker 7: Jays last night. They have a two games to one
- 20:47Speaker 7: lead in the of course best of seven World Series. Tonight,
- 20:51Speaker 7: Game four at five o'clock, Shane Bieber will go for
- 20:54Speaker 7: the Blue Jays and the Dodgers will counter with show
- 20:58Speaker 7: Hey O Tany Aerner's big story going out around town
- 21:03Speaker 7: about how much salary room will they actually have?
- 21:06Speaker 1: Will they only have room for just.
- 21:08Speaker 7: Josh Naylor if they go after him. We'll talk about
- 21:11Speaker 7: that a little bit later on in the show. We

- 21:23Speaker 7: ourselves as well. At seven thirty here today, Greg Bell

- 21:30Speaker 7: by and get ready for the Commanders. They will next
- 21:33Speaker 7: play Sunday Night football against Washington, which lost last night
- 21:37Speaker 7: twenty eight to seven to the Kansas City Chiefs. The
- 21:40Speaker 7: score was tied at halftime. The Chiefs twenty one unanswered
- 21:43Speaker 7: points in the second half to win. On Monday Night,
- 21:46Speaker 7: football Huskies are going on by but the big story
- 21:49Speaker 7: in college football are the head coaching firings that have
- 21:52Speaker 7: happened mid season. We'll talk to Rick Neweissel about it

- 22:20Speaker 7: what a Cracking Ticket Tuesday is all about. And the Sounders,
- 22:24Speaker 7: which we'll find some time to talk about as well,
- 22:26Speaker 7: lost game number one of their playoff in a shootout
- 22:30Speaker 7: to Minnesota United.
- 22:31Speaker 1: The Sounders missed.
- 22:32Speaker 7: Three of their five shootout kicks and end up not
- 22:38Speaker 7: putting nearly enough pressure on the goalie and they lose
- 22:41Speaker 7: game one. But it is the best of three, so
- 22:44Speaker 7: game number two we'll be back here in Seattle. Coming
- 22:47Speaker 7: up next though, for the Seahawks last night. For Seahawks fans,
- 22:51Speaker 7: last night, Monday Night football was an opportunity to scout
- 22:54Speaker 7: our next opponent thoroughly. And that's exactly what I did.
- 22:58Speaker 7: We'll talk about it next. Sports Radio nine three point

- 24:39Speaker 7: Ashley Ryan with you as we roll into our second hour.
- 24:43Speaker 7: And man, what a night in the sports world last night, locally, nationally,
- 24:48Speaker 7: globally one of the greatest baseball games that has ever
- 24:51Speaker 7: been played last night, As much as it paints us
- 24:55Speaker 7: to admit it, certainly, the Dodgers and the Blue Jays
- 24:59Speaker 7: gave us an all time classic last night in game
- 25:02Speaker 7: number three, thanks to Fox with the audio there if
- 25:05Speaker 7: you didn't stay up for it. Freddie Freeman hit a
- 25:08Speaker 7: eighteenth inning home run to walk off the Toronto Blue
- 25:12Speaker 7: Jays last night, a game that pretty much had everything
- 25:15Speaker 7: and then nothing, And even the nothing was fascinating because
- 25:20Speaker 7: previously the game had had everything, and so it came
- 25:24Speaker 7: down to Freeman walking it off in the bottom of
- 25:26Speaker 7: the eighteenth and Dodger fans, like more than ten stuck
- 25:29Speaker 7: around for it. It was crazy. It was actually a
- 25:32Speaker 7: good crowdstill on hand for the eighteenth inning walk off
- 25:36Speaker 7: from Freddie Freeman. Dodgers go up two games to one
- 25:39Speaker 7: in the series. Game four will be today at five o'clock.
- 25:42Speaker 7: Show Aotani versus Shane Bieber, the only two guys that
- 25:46Speaker 7: didn't pitch. It feels last night in the game, so crazy, crazy,
- 25:52Speaker 7: crazy contests last night in Los Angeles. The rest of
- 25:56Speaker 7: your headlines brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light
- 25:59Speaker 7: Choose Chill. We are one week away from the National
- 26:01Speaker 7: Football League trading deadline, something that we'll discuss a little
- 26:04Speaker 7: bit with Greg Bell. Seahawks coming off the by officially
- 26:08Speaker 7: after the week in the National Football League wrapped up
- 26:11Speaker 7: with Kansas City defeating the Washington Commanders twenty eight to
- 26:15Speaker 7: seven Westwood One with a highlight there in that highlight package.
- 26:20Speaker 7: The Commanders are the Seahawks next opponent. We'll face them
- 26:23Speaker 7: Sunday Night football and the Commanders are three and five
- 26:28Speaker 7: now on the season. Husky's going on by this week,
- 26:31Speaker 7: but all the talking college football is about head coach
- 26:34Speaker 7: mid season firings. We'll discuss that topic with Rick new
- 26:38Speaker 7: Isil today at nine o'clock Cracking are inaction against Montreal
- 26:42Speaker 7: at home tonight seven thirty. They will drop the puck.
- 26:45Speaker 7: Evert Fitz, you will join us at eight thirty, and
- 26:47Speaker 7: it is a cracking ticket Tuesday, So be listening for
- 26:50Speaker 7: your opportunity to win tickets to an upcoming cracking game.
- 26:54Speaker 7: When you hear the piece of audio played, be the
- 26:57Speaker 7: tenth caller at two six two eight six ninety five
- 27:00Speaker 7: ninety five for your chance at a pair of tickets
- 27:03Speaker 7: to an upcoming cracking game. And the Sounders lost their
- 27:06Speaker 7: first match of the playoffs in Minnesota last night. No
- 27:10Speaker 7: goals scored in regulation, no goals scored an extra time.
- 27:14Speaker 7: It came down to a shootout, and somehow the Sounders
- 27:17Speaker 7: missed on three of their five shootout kicks, and so
- 27:20Speaker 7: Minnesota grabs game number one of the series. But it
- 27:23Speaker 7: is a best of three, so Sounder's still a chance
- 27:27Speaker 7: to prevail before all is.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Said and done.
- 27:29Speaker 7: All right, those are your headlines. It's now time to
- 27:32Speaker 7: talk to our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell. Joining us now
- 27:35Speaker 7: is our Seahawks insider from the News Tribune.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Greg Bell, Good morning, Greg.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 27:40Speaker 1: What kind of team I mean?
- 27:41Speaker 7: I don't know if you watched the Monday Night football
- 27:43Speaker 7: last night, but we can now start sizing up our opponent.
- 27:46Speaker 7: We got a full night to scout the Washington Commanders
- 27:49Speaker 7: last night. Dan Quinn feels like he's just trying to
- 27:52Speaker 7: keep that thing together with you know, scotch tape and
- 27:55Speaker 7: glue right now. A lot of injuries. They're certainly not
- 27:58Speaker 7: the team they were a year ago. And even though
- 28:01Speaker 7: they hung with the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half,
- 28:04Speaker 7: there was a big discrepancy between those two teams that
- 28:06Speaker 7: got exposed in the second half. So what's dan Quinn
- 28:09Speaker 7: rolling in with Sunday night against the Seahawks.
- 28:14Speaker 10: Well, I watched parts of the game. I was I
- 28:17Speaker 10: thought the World Series and even the Sounders game were
- 28:20Speaker 10: better options than watching a football game, so they did that.
- 28:25Speaker 10: They are injured. Jayden Daniels, their quarterback, didn't play yesterday
- 28:29Speaker 10: with a hamstring injury. Originally it was that he probably
- 28:31Speaker 10: would play this game Sunday night against the Seahawks, and
- 28:34Speaker 10: now there's reports out of DC that they're waiting and
- 28:38Speaker 10: seeing that may not be for sure. They've had a
- 28:40Speaker 10: lot of injuries on their skill guys, and McClaren, their
- 28:45Speaker 10: veteran wide receiver hasn't played most of this season, and
- 28:49Speaker 10: their defense has been beating up. They're old, and they
- 28:53Speaker 10: were running it back with guys like Bobby Wagner, who
- 28:56Speaker 10: actually had an interception off of deflection last night, fourteen
- 28:59Speaker 10: finisception career, but they mostly ran it back on their
- 29:03Speaker 10: defense that was older, and now they're beaten up two.
- 29:06Speaker 10: So they're three and five and haven't had their bye
- 29:11Speaker 10: week yet, which they need, and of course not going
- 29:14Speaker 10: to have it this week. Shorter week, although the trip
- 29:17Speaker 10: isn't that far from Kansas City. But there's this rest
- 29:20Speaker 10: quotient that a lot of people look at it. Who
- 29:23Speaker 10: has the rest advantage heading into games, and the Seahawks
- 29:26Speaker 10: have the rest advantage in this one, playing one having
- 29:30Speaker 10: played ten that it'll be what thirteen fourteen days, thirteen
- 29:35Speaker 10: days between games, so and only five when he Washington
- 29:40Speaker 10: didn't even get back home till this morning. Some more
- 29:42Speaker 10: like five days for the Commanders. So all that's in
- 29:46Speaker 10: the Seahawks favor here. Having said that, if Daniels comes back,
- 29:50Speaker 10: it's a totally different deal. Marcus Mariota was a quarterback
- 29:53Speaker 10: last night in Kansas City, and yes he's mobile. Yes,
- 29:55Speaker 10: the extend played. Yes, they can run the same offense
- 29:58Speaker 10: that Daniels runs, but he took him to the NFC
- 30:01Speaker 10: title game and took the league by storm last year,
- 30:04Speaker 10: and that's a big deal. If he can't play, the
- 30:08Speaker 10: entire game changes in Seattle favor to me. So did
- 30:12Speaker 10: most games come down to the quarterback? The status of
- 30:15Speaker 10: the quarterback in this game is the big issue for
- 30:18Speaker 10: the week.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Did they prepare different not knowing for sure whether Jayden
- 30:23Speaker 5: dew because to me, I wouldn't feel like you would
- 30:24Speaker 5: have to. I think Marcus Mariota. Part of the reason
- 30:27Speaker 5: they brought him in as the backup is he's similar,
- 30:30Speaker 5: just not as good. Jade and Daniels are doing the
- 30:33Speaker 5: same types of things.
- 30:35Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right, Bucky. They would prepare the same way
- 30:37Speaker 10: because Washington would run similar But they were running as
- 30:40Speaker 10: a little I watched last night. They were running rpo plays,
- 30:43Speaker 10: they were running quarterback keepers, they were running quarterback read
- 30:47Speaker 10: options and keeping the ball and running and Mariotta was
- 30:49Speaker 10: running a lot more than most NFL quarterbacks, doing designed
- 30:53Speaker 10: quarterback runs. They will do that, but you're right better
- 30:57Speaker 10: with Daniels, So yeah, you can bet that they will
- 31:01Speaker 10: never admit this. NFL players never would and Mariota has
- 31:05Speaker 10: played in so many games with so many teams over
- 31:07Speaker 10: the years. But they will all take a sigh of
- 31:10Speaker 10: relief if Daniels doesn't play and they think, Okay, we
- 31:13Speaker 10: can do this, but they will. That's just human nature.
- 31:17Speaker 10: Daniels gest was supernatural last year and for him not
- 31:22Speaker 10: to play would be a real break for Seattle run
- 31:27Speaker 10: and pass, and it would, to me tilt the game
- 31:29Speaker 10: in their favor.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks inside.
- 31:32Speaker 7: You can follow Greg at gmail, Seattle on x, and
- 31:35Speaker 7: of course Seahawks coverage provided every second of every day
- 31:39Speaker 7: at the News Tribune dot com. He's ours to discuss
- 31:43Speaker 7: Seahawks football with nearly every day at seven five thanks
- 31:47Speaker 7: to the Delacado family.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Wines.
- 31:49Speaker 7: All right, so let's talk about the bye week. I mean,
- 31:53Speaker 7: every coach approaches it differently. You've now been around Mike
- 31:56Speaker 7: McDonald for.
- 31:57Speaker 1: A couple of years.
- 31:58Speaker 7: Is he one of those get away from here and
- 32:01Speaker 7: I don't want to see you again? Does he encourage
- 32:04Speaker 7: people like Tony Romo to take Jessica Simpson to Mexico during.
- 32:08Speaker 1: The bye week? Is he that type of coach?
- 32:11Speaker 7: Or is he don't leave the center too much, especially
- 32:14Speaker 7: if you're in rehab. We got work to do. Gentlemen,
- 32:17Speaker 7: What kind of approach does he take to the bye week?
- 32:20Speaker 10: Well, the former he said that he's having to kick
- 32:23Speaker 10: coaches out of a facility and some of them stay
- 32:25Speaker 10: too long. He's I think he's changed even in talking
- 32:30Speaker 10: about it compared to last year, because he has a
- 32:33Speaker 10: young son who was born last winter. And when your
- 32:36Speaker 10: dad it's first time dad. I can tell you from experience,
- 32:41Speaker 10: your world perspective changes and all of a sudden, whatever
- 32:44Speaker 10: you're doing for work doesn't quite matter as much as
- 32:47Speaker 10: it used to. A matter of fact, whatever you're doing
- 32:49Speaker 10: before you had a kid, regardless work, play golf, it
- 32:53Speaker 10: just changes. Buck You'll tested Nashley will test it as well,
- 32:58Speaker 10: So he's somewhat different in that regard. He's the player
- 33:02Speaker 10: when I first started covering the league. And this makes
- 33:04Speaker 10: me sound like a dinosaur, But in the early two thousands,
- 33:08Speaker 10: the players practiced in their bye week. That was the
- 33:12Speaker 10: norm around the NFL. They would practice maybe Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
- 33:16Speaker 10: and then be off for the rest of the weekend,
- 33:18Speaker 10: have a three day weekend. And Pete Carroll actually was
- 33:22Speaker 10: one of the four bearers of now you get the
- 33:24Speaker 10: entire week off, and the Seahawks case, they didn't even
- 33:28Speaker 10: have McDonald has swung around the other way so much.
- 33:31Speaker 10: He didn't have them come in for film the day
- 33:33Speaker 10: after the Houston game. I had the Tuesday after the
- 33:37Speaker 10: Monday night Houston game. I asked him, well, did you
- 33:39Speaker 10: show this at film today? And he's like, oh, I
- 33:41Speaker 10: didn't even have him come in. So they were done
- 33:43Speaker 10: from Monday night at Luomenfield, tearing out of the parking
- 33:46Speaker 10: lot and gone wherever they went. They we had an
- 33:50Speaker 10: extra night and full day Tuesday of that. So yeah,
- 33:55Speaker 10: he was way on the other side of get the
- 33:57Speaker 10: heck out of here. Having said all that, we were
- 34:00Speaker 10: talking to him yesterday about some free time things and
- 34:03Speaker 10: somebody asked her, if you had an extra day, a
- 34:05Speaker 10: twenty fifth hour in your day, what would you do
- 34:07Speaker 10: And he said something football related, And I thought to myself,
- 34:11Speaker 10: your wife probably doesn't want to hear that right now
- 34:13Speaker 10: when she's got a six month old at home. But
- 34:17Speaker 10: he has given them. I won't say it's different than
- 34:21Speaker 10: last year, but his perspective to me has changed out
- 34:24Speaker 10: of just the course of maturing.
- 34:26Speaker 3: And being now a father.
- 34:28Speaker 10: He did say the coaches did a dive on especially
- 34:31Speaker 10: the offense in the running game, and his summation of
- 34:36Speaker 10: what they found was, we're closed and we don't need
- 34:39Speaker 10: a ton of changes. We're going to stick it with
- 34:41Speaker 10: what we're doing, which is what we talked about yesterday.
- 34:43Speaker 10: They probably will do. And he was asked, you anticipated,
- 34:47Speaker 10: did you think about during Dubai any personnel changes on
- 34:50Speaker 10: the offensive line. You can imagine which ones we're talking about.
- 34:54Speaker 10: But Brady Henderson of ESPN dot com was smart enough
- 34:57Speaker 10: not the name names because he wouldn't answer that, and
- 34:59Speaker 10: he said, no, oh, no, we didn't think about personnel changes.
- 35:03Speaker 10: So Anthony Bradford will stay the right guard, although he
- 35:06Speaker 10: has struggled mightily, and according to McDonald, nothing will change there.
- 35:10Speaker 10: What will change in the running game is that Robbie
- 35:12Speaker 10: Utz is going to play. He came back to practice yesterday.
- 35:15Speaker 10: He was desidated to return from injured reserve in the
- 35:17Speaker 10: morning and practiced in the afternoon. His teammates were saying
- 35:21Speaker 10: welcome back and patting him on the back. They needed
- 35:24Speaker 10: two hundred and seventy five pounds fullback. They drafted for
- 35:27Speaker 10: the job last year with the Saints the Clint Kibiak
- 35:31Speaker 10: Grantie formation with fullback twenty five percent of the time.
- 35:35Speaker 10: So far this season, they've only win. Ooch has missed
- 35:38Speaker 10: last four games. They've only been in twenty one formation
- 35:42Speaker 10: twenty one personnel, which is two backs and one tight
- 35:44Speaker 10: end eleven percent of the time. They've been in twenty
- 35:47Speaker 10: two two backs and two tight ends only ten percent
- 35:51Speaker 10: of the time. So by and large, they're using two
- 35:54Speaker 10: backs far fewards. Pretty Russells had to be the fill
- 35:57Speaker 10: in fullback and those numbers should get back up to
- 36:00Speaker 10: twenty percent now that they got Robbie Hoots back, and
- 36:03Speaker 10: they can do a lot more, as McDonald said, in
- 36:05Speaker 10: two back sets with Loots at fullback, and perhaps their
- 36:09Speaker 10: run game will spike just because they get their starting
- 36:11Speaker 10: fullback back.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Gee.
- 36:13Speaker 5: I mean, I think when you're sitting in first place,
- 36:16Speaker 5: you know, at this point in the season, you know
- 36:18Speaker 5: it's not something to criticize in a bad way necessarily,
- 36:22Speaker 5: but constructive criticism wise. The run game is the thing
- 36:25Speaker 5: we continue to talk about that doesn't look as good
- 36:28Speaker 5: as we had hoped, or that they want or however
- 36:31Speaker 5: you want to look at that. What is the reason
- 36:34Speaker 5: is it health that they're not going just more to
- 36:37Speaker 5: Ken Walker. You know, it's not going to be more
- 36:40Speaker 5: of a time split thing where you're kind of breaking
- 36:43Speaker 5: up carries fairly evenly, even maybe not exactly even because
- 36:47Speaker 5: it's just the numbers. Wise, he's running the ball far
- 36:49Speaker 5: better than Jack Charboney is Is it just trying to
- 36:51Speaker 5: keep them both healthy or what?
- 36:53Speaker 10: Yep, they're trying to play the long game.
- 36:55Speaker 3: For Walker.
- 36:56Speaker 10: We've talked about I've talked about the footage they've been
- 37:00Speaker 10: managing since August is not going away very easily, and
- 37:04Speaker 10: they've become convinced that he can't run seventy five percent
- 37:07Speaker 10: of the snaps for the season. Charbone has run fifty
- 37:10Speaker 10: four percent of the snaps yet is the lowest yards
- 37:13Speaker 10: per carry in the league among guys who are regulars,
- 37:17Speaker 10: and Walker is at forty three percent of the offensive
- 37:21Speaker 10: snaps and an outside zone, as you pointed out, he's
- 37:24Speaker 10: a five and a half yards of carry guy, and
- 37:27Speaker 10: they just haven't run as much outside zone because Walker
- 37:30Speaker 10: hasn't on the field as much. It's one point something
- 37:34Speaker 10: for Charbone in outside zone runs five point five to
- 37:37Speaker 10: one point one on your bellcal play. It seems like
- 37:41Speaker 10: a no brainer to put Walker in. And I get
- 37:45Speaker 10: Twitter messages and emails from fans during games saying why
- 37:48Speaker 10: isn't Walker, Why don't you ask him? Well, I have
- 37:50Speaker 10: asked him and I got the answer. He won't come
- 37:53Speaker 10: out and say he's got a foot injury because he
- 37:56Speaker 10: doesn't want to advertise it. But I learned that back
- 37:58Speaker 10: in Green Bay at the last speak of August, that
- 38:00Speaker 10: this wasn't going away and it was something they're going
- 38:02Speaker 10: to have to manage.
- 38:03Speaker 3: A couple of.
- 38:04Speaker 10: People on the team told me that, and that's where
- 38:07Speaker 10: this stands. Walker is all for this job share agreement
- 38:11Speaker 10: because he's trying to get through seventeen games. We've talked
- 38:13Speaker 10: about this. It's the last year of his contract, so
- 38:16Speaker 10: he doesn't want to miss a game because every week
- 38:18Speaker 10: is an audition to get a new contract. Whether it's
- 38:20Speaker 10: in Seattle which somewhere else. He's playing for his future.
- 38:23Speaker 10: He right now is scheduled to get zero dollars from
- 38:26Speaker 10: zero teams next year. That's the nature of this league.
- 38:29Speaker 10: So he needs to be on the field. So if
- 38:31Speaker 10: it takes him to Billy only forty percent of the
- 38:33Speaker 10: snaps in a game, he's gonna do it. And he's
- 38:35Speaker 10: not going to complain because he wants to play every game.
- 38:40Speaker 10: The eyes tell you, common sense tells you just put
- 38:42Speaker 10: Walker in the game, the entire game and see how
- 38:44Speaker 10: your run game improves. They have come convinced that they
- 38:47Speaker 10: won't be able to do that and get him to
- 38:50Speaker 10: get through the entire season.
- 38:51Speaker 7: All right, So we're a week away from the NFL
- 38:53Speaker 7: trading deadline. What's the temperature of that water right now
- 38:56Speaker 7: at the with the Seahawks.
- 38:58Speaker 10: Well, I knew this was gonna happ and someone's gonna ask him,
- 39:01Speaker 10: do you expect to be active for the microsot to
- 39:04Speaker 10: guard the athletic asked him, what do you expect to
- 39:06Speaker 10: be active before the trade deadline? Which is November fourth,
- 39:08Speaker 10: next Tuesday, And he's We're always active, you know us
- 39:13Speaker 10: where John Schneider is. He loves to say that, and
- 39:16Speaker 10: everyone in Seattle loves to say that, but there is
- 39:18Speaker 10: some truth behind that. They, as we've talked about before,
- 39:21Speaker 10: they make a ton of calls and they're type of
- 39:24Speaker 10: want to be in on everything. They want to hear
- 39:25Speaker 10: what the league's talking about. They want to float out
- 39:28Speaker 10: their own trade proposals to see if there are any bites,
- 39:31Speaker 10: So they're doing that right now.
- 39:33Speaker 3: Whether that results into anything, I don't know. He had
- 39:36Speaker 3: the week.
- 39:37Speaker 10: Will in situation. I think when there's where there's smoke,
- 39:39Speaker 10: there's fire. In this case, he to me is the
- 39:42Speaker 10: odd man out. If they want to keep even Worry
- 39:44Speaker 10: as the nickel, that would put Weatherspoon as an outside corner,
- 39:48Speaker 10: which he hasn't been. He's been a primary nickel until
- 39:50Speaker 10: the emergence of Whist even worried. If even Worry, if
- 39:54Speaker 10: they keep him where he's exceled, and why wouldn't you
- 39:57Speaker 10: then to me it's Witherspoon and Job. If you're two
- 39:59Speaker 10: star in corners, I don't think you bench Job over Woolan.
- 40:04Speaker 10: So I would say Woolan's the odd man out, which
- 40:06Speaker 10: means he's a piece you don't need once everybody's healthy.
- 40:10Speaker 10: Of course, you could use him when everyone's not been healthy,
- 40:12Speaker 10: which has been for most of the season. So they
- 40:15Speaker 10: will probably try to dangle a former Pro Bowl rookie
- 40:18Speaker 10: cornerback and see what the interest is. I don't think
- 40:22Speaker 10: it's going to be enough to trade him because, as
- 40:25Speaker 10: I mentioned, if they held on to him and lose
- 40:27Speaker 10: him in free agency, they could end up he may
- 40:29Speaker 10: qualify as a third round comp pick because of all
- 40:32Speaker 10: the playing time in the Pro Bowl he made, and
- 40:35Speaker 10: no team in the league I would think is going
- 40:37Speaker 10: to trade a third round pick for him at this point,
- 40:39Speaker 10: knowing that Seawks aren't even probably going to start him.
- 40:42Speaker 10: We'll see how this stakes out on washing on Sunday
- 40:45Speaker 10: night in Washington. But when he doesn't start, as I
- 40:48Speaker 10: don't expect him to, his trade value to me will
- 40:51Speaker 10: go down. For what Why would someone trade decent value
- 40:54Speaker 10: for a guy who's now been benched?
- 40:56Speaker 1: All right, last minute, here, how many innings did you
- 40:59Speaker 1: make it last night? Then?
- 41:01Speaker 10: All eighteen?
- 41:01Speaker 3: Sir?
- 41:03Speaker 10: Captivated? I was captivated. My son who gets a bit
- 41:06Speaker 10: four thirty for work right now, who's living with us
- 41:08Speaker 10: for temporary job. He tried to make it. He actually
- 41:12Speaker 10: turned and fell asleep on the floor in front of
- 41:14Speaker 10: the fireplace. But then but they heard me exclaim when
- 41:19Speaker 10: Freddy Freeman hit.
- 41:20Speaker 3: The home run.
- 41:21Speaker 10: But yeah, that baseball at its best this time of
- 41:24Speaker 10: you have to tell this show this it's the best.
- 41:27Speaker 10: It's better than Monday night football. It's better than that
- 41:30Speaker 10: show that Sounders tried to put on went straight to
- 41:33Speaker 10: penalties last night and those penalty kicks were not very good,
- 41:37Speaker 10: but yeah, yeah they I mean the Seattle games in
- 41:42Speaker 10: Toronto and here I turned in Toronto in the press
- 41:46Speaker 10: box to my colleagues from the Seattle Times, and I said, man,
- 41:50Speaker 10: we're pretty fortunate to be here. This is sports at
- 41:52Speaker 10: its best. Yeah, and it's the last night was great.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was unbelievable. Six hours and thirty nine
- 41:59Speaker 1: minutes of Yes.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Jase starting, good for you.
- 42:03Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, man, Well we'll talk more tomorrow.

- 44:01Speaker 3: I don't like this make hat in the middle of
- 44:03Speaker 3: the season. Stuff fellas. We got to work on this.
- 44:06Speaker 7: Yeah, well, our baseball team was was winning, screwing things up.
- 44:11Speaker 7: They were Yeah for our conversation, so I gotta be honest,
- 44:15Speaker 7: we were really.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Enjoying that, but we did miss you. At the same time.
- 44:20Speaker 4: I agree.
- 44:21Speaker 3: I'll start focusing a little bit more on baseball that
- 44:24Speaker 3: way next year when we're contending for the Pennants. Yeah,
- 44:27Speaker 3: maybe I can weigh in. We'll weigh in on a few.
- 44:29Speaker 7: Baseball By the way, they could use a good umpire.
- 44:31Speaker 7: So like my take on umpires, stay my.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Lane today, I want to stay my lane today.
- 44:41Speaker 7: All right, Well, let's go through a few calls from
- 44:44Speaker 7: over the weekend.
- 44:45Speaker 1: I saw something on Sunday night.
- 44:47Speaker 7: I'm not sure I've ever seen before, and I think
- 44:49Speaker 7: I want to give Aaron Rodgers all the credit in
- 44:52Speaker 7: the world for this. It looked for sure like he
- 44:55Speaker 7: was going to get sacked, and it looked for sure
- 44:58Speaker 7: like he was going to even fumble the ball, and
- 45:01Speaker 7: with his hand kind of braced by a defender. He
- 45:05Speaker 7: had the presence of mind to see that his running
- 45:08Speaker 7: back was standing right there in front of him, and
- 45:10Speaker 7: so as he's going down, he just does this little
- 45:13Speaker 7: flick motion and throws an incomplete pass right into the
- 45:17Speaker 7: ground and avoids any kind of sack, loss of yard fumble.
- 45:22Speaker 1: I can't disagree with the call.
- 45:25Speaker 7: I'm just wondering if you've ever seen anybody in that
- 45:28Speaker 7: moment like have that much presence of mind to be
- 45:32Speaker 7: able to avoid a costly play.
- 45:36Speaker 3: You know what, Chick, I think you just hit the
- 45:38Speaker 3: nail on the head. And you know, I when when
- 45:41Speaker 3: you referee for as long as I did in the NFL,
- 45:44Speaker 3: you know, Aaron Rodgers was a rookie, and Brett Farr
- 45:47Speaker 3: was in the you know, not the end of his career,
- 45:50Speaker 3: kind of in the middle towards the end at Green
- 45:52Speaker 3: Bay when when I really met him. And so your
- 45:55Speaker 3: your career is kind of paralleled for a long time.
- 45:57Speaker 3: So you do get this opportunity unity to be on
- 46:01Speaker 3: the field and have some really memorable moments with some
- 46:05Speaker 3: great quarterbacks. I had a really great tenure with the Mannings,
- 46:08Speaker 3: the Brady's, you know, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, just all
- 46:12Speaker 3: of those guys. So as crazy as the rule is,
- 46:16Speaker 3: and it is the rule, quite honestly, when you are
- 46:20Speaker 3: down there with that level of a player, their level
- 46:23Speaker 3: of awareness and where they are in these fractions of seconds,
- 46:28Speaker 3: it amazes you. It doesn't surprise you. And I think
- 46:32Speaker 3: that was a really great example of someone just being
- 46:36Speaker 3: in the moment to that level that as soon as
- 46:38Speaker 3: he did it, you could tell that even though you know,
- 46:41Speaker 3: he may assume that they would rule fumble and with replay,
- 46:43Speaker 3: you kind of do right in those situations, so you
- 46:46Speaker 3: let it play out that as soon as he got
- 46:48Speaker 3: up though, he was really adamant about, look, I know
- 46:51Speaker 3: exactly what I just did, and this is why I
- 46:53Speaker 3: did it, So go ahead and look at it. It's
- 46:54Speaker 3: incomplete and they're running backs right in front of me,
- 46:57Speaker 3: you know. But yeah, it's amazing how all the elite
- 47:01Speaker 3: athletes process things. It's it's their level of awareness in
- 47:04Speaker 3: real time, which is which is kind of why I
- 47:07Speaker 3: think we love what what what we love.
- 47:09Speaker 7: And there's no disputing it, right, I mean, they that
- 47:11Speaker 7: was the right call. That's an incomplete pass. The way
- 47:14Speaker 7: that he handled that correct.
- 47:17Speaker 3: I mean, we could talk about the rule with the
- 47:19Speaker 3: running back stand and let us back to the quarterback.
- 47:21Speaker 3: Is he really looking for the path right? You know?
- 47:23Speaker 3: But the rules are the rules, and good players know
- 47:28Speaker 3: when to apply those little nuances to their benefit.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:33Speaker 5: Well, I mean there was one in the Jets Bengals
- 47:37Speaker 5: game that I didn't understand. I couldn't wait to ask
- 47:40Speaker 5: you about. It was they it was part of their comeback.
- 47:43Speaker 5: It was the first touchdown in the comeback in the
- 47:46Speaker 5: fourth quarter they had there where Brishall ends up running
- 47:48Speaker 5: it in. But there was the two point conversion part
- 47:51Speaker 5: where Kenna scrambles around completes the pass and yet it
- 47:56Speaker 5: looked short to me. They ruled it short and then
- 47:59Speaker 5: I don't think it was a like a throw of flag.
- 48:03Speaker 5: I think it was just because it was a possible
- 48:04Speaker 5: scoring play, a two point conversion, it was automatically reviewed,
- 48:09Speaker 5: and then they just came back and said, yep, it's good,
- 48:11Speaker 5: even though it didn't look like it was good.
- 48:13Speaker 1: What did you see on that one?
- 48:15Speaker 3: Yeah, And I did weigh in on that one, book,
- 48:17Speaker 3: you know, And that was the little the passover to
- 48:20Speaker 3: the bottom pilot kind of right, and the receiver turns
- 48:24Speaker 3: and then he kind of gets driven back almost immediately
- 48:26Speaker 3: as well, you know, I think these kind of plays,
- 48:30Speaker 3: and as an analyst, now you know that's part of
- 48:32Speaker 3: what I do. And we knew, we know with replay
- 48:35Speaker 3: and the visuals and in the tech, and we see
- 48:39Speaker 3: things so clearly, and we're framed by framing things. The
- 48:43Speaker 3: real question becomes now, and it's a subjective question, is Okay,
- 48:47Speaker 3: I see the football just enter the receiver's body and
- 48:50Speaker 3: I see the handstart to go around the ball. At
- 48:53Speaker 3: what point has he secured this football? And it's a
- 48:57Speaker 3: nuance now that I think, as we continue to do
- 49:01Speaker 3: what we do with replay and frame by frame kind
- 49:03Speaker 3: of officiating or analysis, you almost have to give them
- 49:07Speaker 3: the benefit of the minute that this football gets to
- 49:11Speaker 3: those hands, we are now saying, okay, there's clear possession
- 49:14Speaker 3: of the football. Okay, where are we right now at
- 49:17Speaker 3: that moment? And ironically, in situations like this one, that
- 49:21Speaker 3: football enters this receiver's hands and within two camera frames
- 49:25Speaker 3: that the front of that football, the little the end
- 49:28Speaker 3: of it is not breaking the plane of the front
- 49:30Speaker 3: of the goal line. But there are those two or
- 49:33Speaker 3: three frames right in the beginning where there's the goal line,
- 49:36Speaker 3: there's the nose of that football and it appears to
- 49:39Speaker 3: be breaking the plane of that goal line. So I
- 49:41Speaker 3: think that's where we live now, you know, And it's
- 49:44Speaker 3: those moments that we think. I think we just have
- 49:48Speaker 3: to embrace the fact we're going to do some officiating
- 49:50Speaker 3: in those ways, right, And that's kind of where I
- 49:54Speaker 3: saw it.
- 49:55Speaker 7: Jeane Sterator is whe a CBS rules analysts. He's back
- 49:58Speaker 7: with us here. It's been way too long since we
- 50:01Speaker 7: last chatted with our weekly guest. His segment brought to
- 50:05Speaker 7: you by BMW Seattle. Looking for a new or used
- 50:09Speaker 7: BMW or something else even, go check them out at
- 50:12Speaker 7: BMW Seattle, conveniently located between I five and nine to
- 50:16Speaker 7: ninety near the stadiums and get one of the new
- 50:18Speaker 7: fashioned seat warmers, not one of the human operated ones
- 50:24Speaker 7: that Gene was referring to earlier. Yeah, they got a
- 50:27Speaker 7: mechanical like electrical kind of system.
- 50:30Speaker 1: For doing this.
- 50:30Speaker 5: They don't have to do it the old fashioned way.
- 50:32Speaker 5: You don't have to change your pants.
- 50:38Speaker 7: There was a play in the Dallas Denver game that
- 50:41Speaker 7: we were discussing yesterday after the show, and it wasn't
- 50:45Speaker 7: that any of us thought that there was anything wrong
- 50:49Speaker 7: with the call. And we got to take officials to task.
- 50:52Speaker 7: But even Tony Romo was confused. And I think it
- 50:55Speaker 7: was a game that you were calling, if I'm not mistaken,
- 50:58Speaker 7: even he was confused about the rule about what is
- 51:03Speaker 7: the natural foot landing? Uh, it was a touch touched
- 51:07Speaker 7: or a reception by Tolbert from the Dallas Cowboys, And
- 51:10Speaker 7: I just thought, we all thought maybe it would be
- 51:12Speaker 7: a good time for Jane to explain how he'll toe
- 51:16Speaker 7: relation works to inbounds out of bounds receiving calls.
- 51:22Speaker 3: Yeah that I do recall it, and yeah, I didn't
- 51:25Speaker 3: commit on the play and and and full transparency. There
- 51:28Speaker 3: are times when we are in live television and they
- 51:31Speaker 3: bring me in and Jim and Tony will bring me
- 51:33Speaker 3: in to clear a play up, and then Tony will
- 51:35Speaker 3: create his own kind of casebook question in real time
- 51:39Speaker 3: and and ask me something that you know, like, Jane,
- 51:43Speaker 3: what if this happens? What if the ball bounces this way,
- 51:46Speaker 3: goes this way, and and three people are there, and
- 51:49Speaker 3: you know, I kind of want to tell him out there,
- 51:51Speaker 3: let's not play stuff the rough in front of ten
- 51:53Speaker 3: million people. Maybe do it at the end of the game.
- 51:56Speaker 3: But you know, it was a legitimate question, and I
- 51:59Speaker 3: think he enjoys seeing me perspire a little quickly on
- 52:03Speaker 3: certain situations, so I think it's it will continue to
- 52:07Speaker 3: go there. But no, I thought it was a good question.
- 52:09Speaker 3: I think on this play, if you do look it again,
- 52:12Speaker 3: it was the touchdown was the touchdown because of that backfoot,
- 52:15Speaker 3: And I think it's a good thing for all the
- 52:17Speaker 3: listeners and lovers of the game. When we start reviewing
- 52:19Speaker 3: these catch no catches, we know all the elements now,
- 52:22Speaker 3: it's almost like it's prescript and we know that it's possession,
- 52:25Speaker 3: two feed a football, move a third step. But when
- 52:28Speaker 3: you do see these balls come in, now, it's always
- 52:30Speaker 3: a good practice on that first replay to take a
- 52:32Speaker 3: look at the backfoot right because again right when that
- 52:35Speaker 3: ball enters the hands, if you look at that backfoot,
- 52:37Speaker 3: a lot of times that backfoot is kind of just
- 52:40Speaker 3: lifting off the ground that hasn't completely lifted off of
- 52:43Speaker 3: the ground, so you kind of count the backfoot as
- 52:45Speaker 3: that one, which is what happened in this case. But
- 52:48Speaker 3: as you said, now that we did have three steps
- 52:51Speaker 3: prior to that last one, which was a heel, and
- 52:54Speaker 3: then the natural kind of roll of the foot, like
- 52:56Speaker 3: we would strike our heel and then roll off to
- 52:58Speaker 3: the toe, and the toe part of that foot was
- 53:01Speaker 3: out of bounds. So he did present me with that question, Geane,
- 53:04Speaker 3: what happens if the heels inbounds? And that was the
- 53:07Speaker 3: third step right or the third element, and then the
- 53:09Speaker 3: finish of the foot now goes out of bounds. So
- 53:13Speaker 3: another kind of nuance to how they were reviewing and
- 53:16Speaker 3: making these catch no catch decisions. Anytime that the foot
- 53:20Speaker 3: strikes the heel and rolls to the entire foot again
- 53:24Speaker 3: a natural type of a step of a person, then
- 53:28Speaker 3: that entire foot must be inbounds. And on the back
- 53:31Speaker 3: end if you strike the toe and now you roll
- 53:34Speaker 3: into the heel as you're going on the sideline in
- 53:36Speaker 3: the back of the end zone. Toe taps are fine,
- 53:39Speaker 3: we only count toes when we tapped. But if we
- 53:42Speaker 3: strike the toe roll to the heel, now you brought
- 53:45Speaker 3: the entire foot into play. So their wording of this
- 53:49Speaker 3: is natural step either forward or backward in the So
- 53:52Speaker 3: when that was do occur, now we got to get
- 53:54Speaker 3: the whole enchilade in, you know, when it's just us
- 53:57Speaker 3: giving you a piece of it. So that was really
- 53:59Speaker 3: what we were kind of describing or the question he
- 54:01Speaker 3: posed to me again, completely unscripted, and just to throw
- 54:05Speaker 3: it out there in case, you know, I would have
- 54:08Speaker 3: a black moment and everybody would get a chuckle out
- 54:10Speaker 3: of that.
- 54:11Speaker 1: He's problematic, isn't he that?
- 54:12Speaker 3: Romo?
- 54:13Speaker 1: He's an issue, great, an issue for him, he's great.
- 54:17Speaker 3: He's you know, when you're when you're in your forties
- 54:19Speaker 3: and you could still be word rey like like he
- 54:22Speaker 3: was when he was on the field in his twenties.
- 54:24Speaker 3: It's a wonderful feeling. So though I love every minute
- 54:27Speaker 3: of it.
- 54:28Speaker 1: No, I like Romo too.
- 54:29Speaker 5: I thought it was funny because he was just like, well,
- 54:31Speaker 5: I guess it counts because his heel hit his heel
- 54:34Speaker 5: hit first, and then I was sitting there looking at like, No,
- 54:37Speaker 5: I think they counted it because that that that foot
- 54:39Speaker 5: was already down right when he caught the ball. But
- 54:42Speaker 5: I thought it was great, and I thought it was
- 54:43Speaker 5: great where you were like, No, and to answer your
- 54:45Speaker 5: question basically, you're wrong, Romo.
- 54:48Speaker 1: Nice, try try to make me sweat.
- 54:50Speaker 3: We try to do that politely, a little too bucky, right, yeah, like,
- 54:53Speaker 3: and just to throw it on the end of this
- 54:56Speaker 3: town real quick. No, that wasn't right either. Yeah, yeah,
- 55:01Speaker 3: let's go to question four. Now, can we come up
- 55:03Speaker 3: with a new woman?
- 55:04Speaker 1: Yeah, good, try a little bit.
- 55:05Speaker 3: What makes I think that's what makes them very fresh.
- 55:09Speaker 3: I think that's what makes that broadcast really good, is
- 55:12Speaker 3: you know, Tony can Tony can take you right from
- 55:15Speaker 3: a game listening to think that he's sitting as the
- 55:17Speaker 3: fourth person in your living room and and we're just
- 55:20Speaker 3: you know, shooting the breeze and bringing up crazy things
- 55:22Speaker 3: right in the middle of something. And and I think
- 55:25Speaker 3: that's good television. At least I enjoyed it.
- 55:27Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, I got.
- 55:29Speaker 5: I got one like that was it was an offensive
- 55:32Speaker 5: past interference in the Giants gaming Darius Slayton that basically
- 55:36Speaker 5: had a touchdown and they called it back for offensive
- 55:39Speaker 5: pass interference. And yet it does feel like you watch
- 55:42Speaker 5: every week and that hand fighting that's going on, and
- 55:45Speaker 5: understandably so to some degree, I think you guys give
- 55:48Speaker 5: the dB a little bit of license to have his
- 55:51Speaker 5: hand on the guy so that he can be looking
- 55:53Speaker 5: for the ball and and still know where he is.
- 55:56Speaker 5: But then there's a line where tugging poland starts happening.
- 55:59Speaker 5: And this was one where it looked like the defender
- 56:03Speaker 5: was kind of holding his arm down and then he
- 56:06Speaker 5: did a little bit of a push off. I mean,
- 56:08Speaker 5: how do you decipher how much? Because to some degree
- 56:11Speaker 5: it's not, well, you don't touch him, you keep your
- 56:13Speaker 5: hands to yourself or I'm gonna throw my flag, right,
- 56:15Speaker 5: But at the same time, there's somewhere where it's like,
- 56:17Speaker 5: well that's just too much. So how the heck do
- 56:19Speaker 5: you guys do that? By the way, Brian Dable did
- 56:21Speaker 5: not agree with the call. No, he was not it.
- 56:24Speaker 3: And you know what, I could defend him on it,
- 56:27Speaker 3: you know, And I think what you mentioned, Bucky, what
- 56:29Speaker 3: you're really squaring up is is really what you try
- 56:32Speaker 3: to do at this level, and that is the art
- 56:34Speaker 3: of this, right. We can all look at these plays
- 56:36Speaker 3: and go, yep, there's a little grass there. It's defensive
- 56:39Speaker 3: holding by the book, I get it. There's a little
- 56:43Speaker 3: hand fighting and oh he restricts his arm there for
- 56:45Speaker 3: three or four ticks, and that's a file at this
- 56:49Speaker 3: level and truth where they get all levels major college football,
- 56:52Speaker 3: you know, all the way up the chain. The art
- 56:55Speaker 3: of officiating is to allow players to play physicality in
- 57:00Speaker 3: some hand fighting and some minimal restriction in a lot
- 57:04Speaker 3: of elements, whether it's holding, whether it isn't holding, whether
- 57:07Speaker 3: it's past interference, whether it isn't. I think you've got
- 57:10Speaker 3: to allow athletes to be athletes, right, I mean, yes,
- 57:13Speaker 3: is there's going to be some minor restriction, a little displacement, Sure,
- 57:16Speaker 3: there is. There's a lot going on there. We've got
- 57:21Speaker 3: to be able as a collective staff and officials have
- 57:24Speaker 3: to be able to hone there's skill to see. Yeah,
- 57:27Speaker 3: there's something there, a little bit. This is not big
- 57:29Speaker 3: enough to interject myself in the game. That's when I
- 57:32Speaker 3: would go into the pregame speeches of look, let's fish
- 57:35Speaker 3: for Wales, let's not fish for minnows. We don't want
- 57:38Speaker 3: to get in there and get to the technical space
- 57:41Speaker 3: of once I call that calls, now, what do I
- 57:44Speaker 3: have to do with every one of these other plays
- 57:46Speaker 3: for the rest of the day in this game, and
- 57:49Speaker 3: really as a lead looks at it. Now, we've got
- 57:51Speaker 3: to kind of be held to that collectively around the
- 57:53Speaker 3: entire weekend. Those types of place to me, you lit
- 57:57Speaker 3: that athletes or athletes, that's a play game, Go get
- 58:00Speaker 3: the ball. There's not a lot of big restriction, not
- 58:04Speaker 3: a lot of big displacement. You really weren't at a
- 58:06Speaker 3: major disadvantage. You've got to play football at some point.
- 58:10Speaker 3: That's the art of this business. And sometimes we react
- 58:13Speaker 3: to think a little too quickly. And when that flag
- 58:16Speaker 3: is out now and then again, it really in my position,
- 58:19Speaker 3: it's a sweating moment, right because now you're looking at
- 58:21Speaker 3: this play. Let's bring in the analysts. What do you
- 58:23Speaker 3: think by the book? Yeah, there's probably something there. Truthfully,
- 58:28Speaker 3: I don't want to see the flag on the ground
- 58:30Speaker 3: on those plays, right, You want to let those things
- 58:32Speaker 3: take place. That's what you hope officials are evolving into
- 58:36Speaker 3: as we get into this part of the season as well. Now, right,
- 58:39Speaker 3: we've been in two months of this. Let athletes be
- 58:42Speaker 3: athletes get the big stuff when they separate big when
- 58:45Speaker 3: they restrict in a impactful way, call it other things,
- 58:51Speaker 3: let it alone, let them go get it a little bit.
- 58:54Speaker 3: And I think it's better for the game. I think
- 58:56Speaker 3: it's better for everybody if we do do that. But
- 59:00Speaker 3: with Dable on the play, I thought it was a
- 59:01Speaker 3: little tiki taki regardless of the outcomes, right, I mean, yeah, Unfortunately,
- 59:07Speaker 3: now he's a sixty five year a touchdown or bring
- 59:09Speaker 3: it back. But listen, anytime you interject yourself in a game,
- 59:12Speaker 3: if it's just a ten yeard penalty and now it's
- 59:14Speaker 3: second and twenty two instead of second and twelve, the
- 59:18Speaker 3: game changed from that point for the rest of the game.
- 59:21Speaker 3: So you really have to hone yourself. And I think
- 59:23Speaker 3: we need to make the files a little bigger in
- 59:25Speaker 3: a lot of ways.
- 59:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't know.
- 59:27Speaker 7: I felt like we went light on officials this week
- 59:30Speaker 7: and your return to our show. Maybe it was just
- 59:33Speaker 7: our you know, welcome back gift to you. Maybe it's
- 59:36Speaker 7: because we missed you so much, or maybe the officials
- 59:39Speaker 7: are okay at their jobs.
- 59:42Speaker 1: I hate to confess that, Gene.
- 59:45Speaker 3: You know, you always look, there's sixteen seventeen games a week,
- 59:49Speaker 3: and we're going to have some things happen.
- 59:51Speaker 1: Yes, you just.
- 59:52Speaker 3: Don't really want to be talking about them on Wednesday,
- 59:56Speaker 3: you know. That was always my line, like are we
- 59:58Speaker 3: still talking about this Sunday on Wednesday? And we didn't
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: have a good week, fellas you know, But no, I don't.
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: I don't disagree. I think collectively we're not in a
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: terrible place. But there's always work to do, right, you
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: always have to get better, and a couple of games
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: this week head scratchers and things that you don't want
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: to have happen, and you hope that those move forward
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: and everybody learns from them.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: All right, Well, happy Halloween to you.
- 1:00:24Speaker 7: I've gone as you for the last couple of weeks,
- 1:00:27Speaker 7: maybe not weeks, last couple of years.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Maybe I go as jim Nantz this week this year.
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: I like it.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Yeah, just find myself Hello friends.
- 1:00:37Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly the best, Hello friend.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Get the rhythm going right, I like it.
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Yeah, like a University of Houston kerchief or something like that.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: There you go, I got it.
- 1:00:52Speaker 7: I got it all right, Jane, thank you very much.
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: Great to hear from you again, and we'll do it
- 1:00:56Speaker 7: again next week.
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: Thanks, guys, have a great week, all right.
- 1:01:00Speaker 7: The amazing Gene Sterotor joining us right here on Chuck
- 1:01:03Speaker 7: and back and again. His segment brought to you by
- 1:01:05Speaker 7: bmw F Seattle. Just feels good to have Gene back.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: In our lives.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: It feels great.
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: I mean, it was understandable why, I mean, the manners
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: and we couldn't probably dice up stuff the way that
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: we typically do with him at that point in time.
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: But that's over and so now we're into it. And
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: now we got Gene back in our life.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: We're back to our regularly scheduled program.
- 1:01:27Speaker 5: I would like you to start dressing in your Gene
- 1:01:29Speaker 5: costume every every Tuesday.
- 1:01:32Speaker 7: Oh okay, I probably do a better nance. Jeane's just
- 1:01:37Speaker 7: you know too, you know, too dark and handsome, you
- 1:01:40Speaker 7: know what I mean?
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe some tannel in her face.
- 1:01:47Speaker 7: All right, Everett Fitzi is gonna join us next Sports
- 1:01:49Speaker 7: Radio ninety three point three k j R f M.
- 1:02:01Speaker 7: All right, Chuck po Bucky Jacobs, and Ashley Bryan with
- 1:02:05Speaker 7: you every week we get a chance to chat with
- 1:02:07Speaker 7: the voice. I actually got to see him in the
- 1:02:09Speaker 7: station last week. Yeah, he came in to say hello
- 1:02:12Speaker 7: to Ashley and I. He was like, Bucky's not there.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: I'll be right in. Oh that's yeah. He came in.
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: Yeah, he brought like three course breakfast. Wasn't wasn't delicious.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: That's all because I wasn't here.
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: Yes, he was like, it's time for a celebration.
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: Yes, it hurts my feelings a little bit, but I'll
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: say this as a team player. I will do that
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: again this Thursday and Friday for you guys, if you
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: get to see Everett and he comes with food, I'll
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: not come into work for days.
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: You're welcome right.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: There, Everett fits you joins us right here on Chuck
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: and Bucko the morning, Sir.
- 1:02:45Speaker 11: I specifically called ahead to make sure that you weren't
- 1:02:47Speaker 11: going to be there. Bucket all right, I said, I said, hey,
- 1:02:52Speaker 11: Chuck's like, oh, Buck's not here. And then it was
- 1:02:56Speaker 11: the It was like Forrest Gump running down the veway.
- 1:02:59Speaker 11: Remember that was me coming to the station once I
- 1:03:02Speaker 11: found out that you weren'ting to be well, that's.
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: Good for good to find out that you're an outlier
- 1:03:06Speaker 5: and everybody else except for you from Detroit is nice.
- 1:03:13Speaker 7: Even whenever it's trying to be mean. He's just so nice.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: I can't.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: I can't do it so bad at being bad.
- 1:03:24Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what. This team's been really good.
- 1:03:27Speaker 7: It's last couple of games. Put in perspective for us.
- 1:03:31Speaker 7: What kind of a back to back win?
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: This is?
- 1:03:34Speaker 7: To win your last game on the road against the
- 1:03:38Speaker 7: team as good as the Jets, and then come home
- 1:03:40Speaker 7: and just keep it going against the team as good
- 1:03:43Speaker 7: as the Oilers. Just how nice of a back to
- 1:03:46Speaker 7: back go win. Is that for Lane Lambert and the Kraken.
- 1:03:50Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it was huge. I think though the
- 1:03:52Speaker 11: Winnipeg game, I mean that was your your really first
- 1:03:56Speaker 11: statement game of the season. Obviously we're only going in
- 1:04:00Speaker 11: the game eight at the time, but I mean that
- 1:04:02Speaker 11: was a win that you had to have. You were
- 1:04:04Speaker 11: coming off of an effort in Washington last Tuesday that
- 1:04:08Speaker 11: Lane wasn't happy with, and he wasn't shy about letting
- 1:04:12Speaker 11: people know that he wasn't happy. It wasn't good enough.
- 1:04:16Speaker 11: I remember even asking him on our pregame one on
- 1:04:19Speaker 11: ones and I said, hey, it is the fact that
- 1:04:21Speaker 11: you were in the second game went back to back and.
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: All the fatigue and the travel.
- 1:04:26Speaker 11: Does that help? And I think he gave me probably
- 1:04:28Speaker 11: the best sound bite of my five years here he goes,
- 1:04:31Speaker 11: I don't care. Your job is to win games in
- 1:04:34Speaker 11: the NHL. So it was very refreshing to hear that.
- 1:04:38Speaker 11: And then you come to Winnipeg against a team that
- 1:04:41Speaker 11: coming into the game had lost eleven times on home
- 1:04:46Speaker 11: ice in the last year they were thirty seven and four.
- 1:04:50Speaker 11: They had allowed two or fewer goals in twenty one
- 1:04:55Speaker 11: of their previous forty home games, so I mean, this
- 1:04:58Speaker 11: was a team that is nearly unbeatable at home, and
- 1:05:01Speaker 11: you go in there and you put together a defensive clinic.
- 1:05:04Speaker 11: Joey the cord was perfect, literally perfect in that game.
- 1:05:09Speaker 11: And then you come back home for the first time
- 1:05:11Speaker 11: in two weeks against an Edmonton team that is they
- 1:05:14Speaker 11: get off to some slow starts, but this is about
- 1:05:16Speaker 11: the time when they start to find their stride during
- 1:05:19Speaker 11: the season around games eight, nine, ten to eleven, and
- 1:05:23Speaker 11: you grind them down. You hold Conor McDavid off the
- 1:05:26Speaker 11: score sheet for just the second time this season. You know,
- 1:05:29Speaker 11: I think two very different wins, two very different games,
- 1:05:34Speaker 11: very different efforts, but the same results that now under
- 1:05:39Speaker 11: Lane Lambert you're expecting to get. I mean that type
- 1:05:42Speaker 11: of game against Edmonds that I think in particular, those
- 1:05:47Speaker 11: are games and wins that you expect to get now
- 1:05:51Speaker 11: because of the style of play.
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: FITZI I mean dive in a little bit.
- 1:05:56Speaker 10: For me.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: I mean, I'm old school.
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: I like kind of the hard nosed coach, the guy
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: that doesn't really pull any punches and'll call you out
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: and hold you accountable. It seems to me that hockey
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: might be the last sport that conforms to the softness
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: that is kind of kind of going into a lot
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: of other sports. The more players coach type of a thing.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Is that something?
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: Is that true that hockey's has more players that are
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: receptive to that type of coaching.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: And if so, do you think that the Kraken is
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: built for that?
- 1:06:24Speaker 11: I think so, And I think now with I mean,
- 1:06:28Speaker 11: you look at the journey of a hockey player, right,
- 1:06:31Speaker 11: very similar to baseball. When you're drafted out of juniors,
- 1:06:35Speaker 11: you're not going straight to the NHL unless you are
- 1:06:38Speaker 11: one of one generational talent.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:06:41Speaker 11: How many baseball players have come out of high school
- 1:06:44Speaker 11: drafted or get drafted out of college and come right
- 1:06:47Speaker 11: to the league. It's seeing far between. You have to
- 1:06:49Speaker 11: go through minors. There's an extensive youth hockey, junior hockey
- 1:06:54Speaker 11: circuit that kind of beats a little bit of that
- 1:06:57Speaker 11: out of you. And it is fair very much the
- 1:07:01Speaker 11: hard working, the playing for the name on the front
- 1:07:04Speaker 11: rather than the name on the back type of mentality.
- 1:07:07Speaker 11: And I think for this team, where you have a
- 1:07:10Speaker 11: lot of really good players, you don't have that big superstar,
- 1:07:16Speaker 11: you don't have the mcdamon, you don't have the McKinnon,
- 1:07:19Speaker 11: and this team understands that. But what this team does
- 1:07:21Speaker 11: have is a lot of guys who can work hard.
- 1:07:24Speaker 11: They have a lot of guys who are capable of
- 1:07:27Speaker 11: stepping up and chipping in wherever ass And I think
- 1:07:32Speaker 11: the way that you have to play is a depth
- 1:07:36Speaker 11: heavy style of game. You need goals from all up
- 1:07:39Speaker 11: and down the lineup. You need a good defensive structure.
- 1:07:41Speaker 11: When you're not a team that's going to score three
- 1:07:45Speaker 11: hundred goals in a season, you're gonna have to limit
- 1:07:48Speaker 11: the opposition. You're gonna have to clamp down defensively. If
- 1:07:51Speaker 11: you're not good at offense, you better be good at defense.
- 1:07:53Speaker 11: And I think this is a team that's going to
- 1:07:55Speaker 11: be able to find offense, but their calling card is
- 1:07:58Speaker 11: going to be a very discipline and heavy defensive structure.
- 1:08:02Speaker 11: I've been saying it all year long. This is a
- 1:08:04Speaker 11: three to one hockey team. This is a three two
- 1:08:07Speaker 11: hockey team, and they're going to have to be comfortable
- 1:08:10Speaker 11: winning those close one goal games. And I'll tell you
- 1:08:13Speaker 11: if the Winnipeg game, the Cracking were up won nothing
- 1:08:16Speaker 11: until they got two empty net goals of the third period,
- 1:08:19Speaker 11: but not once during that third period. I looked over
- 1:08:22Speaker 11: at al and not once was I like, man, we're
- 1:08:24Speaker 11: playing with fire here. This game is in trouble because
- 1:08:27Speaker 11: of the way Joey was playing, because of how effective
- 1:08:30Speaker 11: the Seattle krack and were at shutting down their top players.
- 1:08:33Speaker 11: I didn't feel like that one nothing lead was in jeopardy.
- 1:08:38Speaker 11: They pulled the goalie, they get two empty netters, and
- 1:08:40Speaker 11: then they they're on to win.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Jordan Eberly, thirty five years old.
- 1:08:45Speaker 7: I don't think people realize what he had to come
- 1:08:48Speaker 7: back from last year injury wise. I mean, it was
- 1:08:51Speaker 7: terrible and so as he just said, you know, so
- 1:08:56Speaker 7: happy to be on the ice that he leads the
- 1:08:58Speaker 7: team and goals and points. I think so ors Jordan
- 1:09:01Speaker 7: Everley have a new lease on life now that he's
- 1:09:03Speaker 7: one hundred percent healthy.
- 1:09:05Speaker 11: You know what, I think it may be a bit
- 1:09:07Speaker 11: of column A and a bit of column B. I mean,
- 1:09:09Speaker 11: he missed forty games last season with an injury that
- 1:09:12Speaker 11: was so rare. If I recall, I think he's probably
- 1:09:16Speaker 11: the only player, or maybe one of two players to
- 1:09:19Speaker 11: ever come back from that type of injury because of
- 1:09:22Speaker 11: how rare it was. So he's out for forty games,
- 1:09:26Speaker 11: he scores fifteen points and as I think as like
- 1:09:29Speaker 11: five goals of ten assists in his last twenty games
- 1:09:32Speaker 11: last year, twenty five games last year when he came
- 1:09:35Speaker 11: back from injury. And I think he's out to prove
- 1:09:39Speaker 11: that he still has a lot in the tank and
- 1:09:41Speaker 11: he wants to win here in Seattle. He has never
- 1:09:44Speaker 11: been shy about his desire to stay and win here
- 1:09:50Speaker 11: in Seattle. He wants to have success here, So you
- 1:09:53Speaker 11: know he is he's out to prove that, Hey, I
- 1:09:57Speaker 11: still have it in the tank. But I think you're right.
- 1:09:59Speaker 11: This guy just loved playing hockey. He loves leading this team,
- 1:10:02Speaker 11: He loves being on the ice. You know, it sounds
- 1:10:05Speaker 11: very cliche, and I understand that, but you know he
- 1:10:08Speaker 11: will do whatever it takes to help this team win
- 1:10:10Speaker 11: hockey games. And you're seeing it on the ice and
- 1:10:14Speaker 11: in the locker room so far this season.
- 1:10:16Speaker 7: All right, so young Canadians tonight they are off to
- 1:10:19Speaker 7: a red hot start. So this is in the last
- 1:10:22Speaker 7: few years you kind of like playing Montreal. Is that
- 1:10:25Speaker 7: not the case anymore?
- 1:10:27Speaker 11: I mean, they are a team as good as any
- 1:10:29Speaker 11: I think with a young cores. I look at, you know,
- 1:10:33Speaker 11: like a San Jose Sharks team who probably in about
- 1:10:36Speaker 11: five years, they're going to be the best team in
- 1:10:39Speaker 11: the league, but they're going through some growing pains right now.
- 1:10:42Speaker 11: The Montreal Canadians are where the those type of teams
- 1:10:47Speaker 11: aspire to be. They have their core locked up, seven
- 1:10:51Speaker 11: or eight guys under the age of twenty five years old.
- 1:10:54Speaker 11: They have them locked up until at least twenty thirty three,
- 1:10:58Speaker 11: so they're going to be really good for a very
- 1:11:02Speaker 11: long time. I think their goaltending is probably the one
- 1:11:05Speaker 11: area of concern, but they're quote unquote backup. Jacob Dobeesh
- 1:11:10Speaker 11: has got five to zero record this season. So they're young,
- 1:11:13Speaker 11: they're talented, they skate well. They just keep coming in waves.
- 1:11:17Speaker 11: And the Krakens saw a little bit of that in
- 1:11:19Speaker 11: Montreal a couple of weeks ago in their home opener,
- 1:11:22Speaker 11: actually two weeks to the day actually the crack and
- 1:11:25Speaker 11: were in Montreal. They had a chance to win that game,
- 1:11:29Speaker 11: but Cole Kawfield and Nick Suzuki, and they're big, heavy hitters.
- 1:11:34Speaker 11: Those are the ones that can step up when called upon.
- 1:11:37Speaker 11: So it's gonna need to be another game like we
- 1:11:40Speaker 11: saw in the Edmonton game. It's gonna be a grinding
- 1:11:43Speaker 11: game that this probably is not gonna be another six
- 1:11:46Speaker 11: five far or five four overtime game like we saw
- 1:11:50Speaker 11: in Montreal. I think Seattle's learned some lessons since then.
- 1:11:54Speaker 11: They've been they've been tested a little bit more since then,
- 1:11:59Speaker 11: and I've always felt that it's easier to be the
- 1:12:02Speaker 11: team that lost coming back in the rematch as opposed
- 1:12:06Speaker 11: to the team that won. If you won, you're coming
- 1:12:09Speaker 11: in here probably thinking, all right, guys, if it ain't broke,
- 1:12:11Speaker 11: don't fix it.
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: Let's you know Rinson repeat.
- 1:12:13Speaker 11: But if you're the team that lost, you're the one
- 1:12:16Speaker 11: who has to make the adjustments. You know what went wrong.
- 1:12:18Speaker 11: So I think for Seattle, I think it favors them tonight,
- 1:12:21Speaker 11: but it needs to be another strong discipline, defensive effort
- 1:12:26Speaker 11: because they have a lot of talent and a lot
- 1:12:29Speaker 11: of speed that can beat you if you aren't careful.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: He's great at what he does.
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: He gives great hugs, and even when he's mean, he's nice.
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: It's the human being hat trick. Everett fits you joining
- 1:12:40Speaker 7: us right here on, Chuck and Buck, Thank you sir,
- 1:12:43Speaker 7: enjoy tonight, Bucky.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: I love you, I miss you, Chuck, Ashley.
- 1:12:47Speaker 11: I'll talk to you guys later.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: All right, the.
- 1:12:48Speaker 7: Voice evert fits you, joining us right here on Chuck
- 1:12:51Speaker 7: and Buck in the mornings, and of course they'll drop
- 1:12:54Speaker 7: the puck tonight at home Climate Pledgerina seven thirty Kraken
- 1:12:57Speaker 7: and Montreal Canadians pregame with Mike Benton.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: So a great night of hockey here on this Tuesday.
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: Coming up next the ABC's of the m Sports Radio
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM, Time to talk all things
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: college football.
- 1:13:12Speaker 12: It's just like the menu at Taco Time.

- 1:13:17Speaker 2: This is our weekly visit with Rick new Heeisel, brought
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: to you buy Taco Time.
- 1:13:21Speaker 12: Not those new Heidels used to be a moniker of mine.
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: I mean, just so you know.
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's Nacho's
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: r FM.
- 1:13:34Speaker 12: This is college football and I want you to get
- 1:13:36Speaker 12: it all over yourself.
- 1:13:39Speaker 7: Oh yes, every week we get the chance to chat
- 1:13:41Speaker 7: with the coach. New Isel also joined us on Friday,
- 1:13:44Speaker 7: another one of those like oh Bucky's not there.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll change my schedule around to be on with
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: you too. Yeah, same thing, same.
- 1:13:50Speaker 5: Same thing, finds out, I'm not here. I can't wait
- 1:13:53Speaker 5: to come on now.
- 1:13:54Speaker 7: So good that I'm not doing Tuesday this week. I'll
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: do Friday, please please.
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: I thought Coche and and fifty both were nice guys
- 1:14:03Speaker 5: before they are they just don't like you.
- 1:14:05Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, that doesn't make them back to make
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: it probably means you're the.
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: Right Tell them, coach, tell them, tell them, tell them.
- 1:14:13Speaker 4: There's no bad people here.
- 1:14:14Speaker 12: Everybody's a big fan of everybody.
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: Yeah, we all just get along, get along, thank you.
- 1:14:24Speaker 7: All right, Well, it's good that we're all back together here.
- 1:14:27Speaker 7: And it's course this conversation brought to you by Taco time.
- 1:14:30Speaker 7: All right, so we got a lot of ground to
- 1:14:32Speaker 7: cover here. I got to ask you about what's the
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: big story this week in college football, and that's all
- 1:14:37Speaker 7: the coaching firings. As they stack up like firewood in
- 1:14:41Speaker 7: the corner, it's becoming very obvious that we are. This
- 1:14:46Speaker 7: is another layer to this new world of college football
- 1:14:49Speaker 7: that we live in. And I wonder, though, I mean,
- 1:14:52Speaker 7: eating fifty sixty million dollars at a time, just because
- 1:14:56Speaker 7: the program's only good and not champ inship caliber. Is
- 1:15:01Speaker 7: that something that you saw coming? And is it something
- 1:15:05Speaker 7: sustainable going forward in this new world of college football.
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: The answer to both of those are No, this is ridiculous.
- 1:15:13Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, Brian Kelly was thirty three and fourteen
- 1:15:16Speaker 12: at LSU. I mean thirty three and fourteen is Hall
- 1:15:21Speaker 12: of Fame credentials. You only have to be sixty I
- 1:15:26Speaker 12: guess fifty nine point five percent as a winning coach
- 1:15:28Speaker 12: to be a Hall of Famer or at least be
- 1:15:31Speaker 12: considered as such. That that is confounding, to say the least,
- 1:15:36Speaker 12: and to give him fifty four million bucks to walk
- 1:15:40Speaker 12: out the door is incredible. We're we're over one hundred
- 1:15:44Speaker 12: and fifty million dollars in dead money in a world
- 1:15:47Speaker 12: where every athletic director is telling you how financially challenged
- 1:15:52Speaker 12: they are, and we're doing that. That makes no sense.
- 1:15:55Speaker 12: And I will tell you, and I said that's a
- 1:15:59Speaker 12: million times you. Oh, I'm telling you the truth that
- 1:16:02Speaker 12: my one of my favorite years of my entire coaching
- 1:16:05Speaker 12: career is my last at Washington when we were four
- 1:16:08Speaker 12: and five and came back and won the Northwest Championship
- 1:16:12Speaker 12: and beat Oregon State, beat Oregon at Oregon and then
- 1:16:15Speaker 12: beat Washington State at Washington State when they were number
- 1:16:19Speaker 12: three in the country to get that done and to
- 1:16:22Speaker 12: get the team to believe that, you know, how you
- 1:16:24Speaker 12: deal with adversity. That's part of the education that you're
- 1:16:27Speaker 12: supposed to be getting in college. Now we're giving an
- 1:16:30Speaker 12: education that if you're not doing every you know, winning championships,
- 1:16:35Speaker 12: it's time to quit and cancel Christmas. I don't get it.
- 1:16:41Speaker 12: We've lost our way, and it's because we've given the
- 1:16:45Speaker 12: pseudo owners, those that we keep going to for more
- 1:16:47Speaker 12: and more in terms of resources and money, financial support.
- 1:16:52Speaker 12: We've given them all kinds of now ability to make
- 1:16:56Speaker 12: the decisions. And that that's just it's scary, it's frightening,
- 1:17:01Speaker 12: and it's nowhere that I think we should.
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: Be or want to be.
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: But can this genie get put back in the bottle?
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: I mean, you're right, you just narrowed it down to
- 1:17:10Speaker 5: where all of a sudden you're giving more of a
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: voice to those that chip in because now you have
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: to pay these players or you need to pay them,
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: and so then it's well, if I'm paying, so you
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: got this guy and that guy, and look how much
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: better your team's supposed to be based on our in
- 1:17:26Speaker 5: nil log. Then if you don't win at all, then
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: that's not good enough. We'll go ahead and boot you
- 1:17:32Speaker 5: out the door and hopefully bring somebody else in. I mean,
- 1:17:35Speaker 5: can you put this genie back in the bottle?
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: The answer probably is no.
- 1:17:41Speaker 12: I don't know many genies that want to go back in.
- 1:17:46Speaker 12: But the bottom line is we can grab a hold
- 1:17:49Speaker 12: of this by just dealing with the financial realities. People
- 1:17:54Speaker 12: want to put their head in the sand and say
- 1:17:56Speaker 12: that you know, this paying the players thing, we can
- 1:18:00Speaker 12: survive it. We're going to put this artificial house settlement
- 1:18:04Speaker 12: twenty point five, and yet venmo and phones were going
- 1:18:08Speaker 12: off the charts on June thirtieth because every team was
- 1:18:11Speaker 12: paying their players a sizeable amount of the money that
- 1:18:14Speaker 12: they owed before that date, so it didn't count against
- 1:18:17Speaker 12: the twenty point five. So we're always robbing Peter to
- 1:18:20Speaker 12: pay Paul, and now this next year we're going to
- 1:18:23Speaker 12: be doing the same thing. We have to come to
- 1:18:25Speaker 12: grips that this is the way it's supposed to be.
- 1:18:28Speaker 12: We have an incredibly popular sport, incredibly popular entertainment device,
- 1:18:35Speaker 12: which are called college athletics for the world, and what
- 1:18:38Speaker 12: we need to do is figure out what that brings in.
- 1:18:41Speaker 4: Give a percentage of.
- 1:18:42Speaker 12: That to the players, which is called collective bargaining, and
- 1:18:45Speaker 12: just be done with it. And then if that creates parody,
- 1:18:49Speaker 12: so be it. But we do not need to keep
- 1:18:53Speaker 12: pushing this ball down the field or kicking it down
- 1:18:57Speaker 12: the can down the way, trying to avoid the economic realities.
- 1:19:03Speaker 12: And this chase for championships is becoming now an ownership
- 1:19:07Speaker 12: deal where people are buying stakes in their respective teams
- 1:19:10Speaker 12: by putting the bill for this because there's no other
- 1:19:13Speaker 12: place for the money given that the rich don't want
- 1:19:16Speaker 12: to share, they just want it all to themselves. And
- 1:19:19Speaker 12: at the end of the day, it's gonna collapse. It's
- 1:19:22Speaker 12: not sustainable.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I couldn't.
- 1:19:25Speaker 7: I think that's perfectly put your two responses to our
- 1:19:28Speaker 7: questions here this morning. And I do wonder what the
- 1:19:30Speaker 7: next contract looks like for the next LSU head coach.
- 1:19:34Speaker 7: I mean, do you really think you're just going to
- 1:19:35Speaker 7: sign a guy to a one year deal because we
- 1:19:38Speaker 7: don't have to pay fifty million dollars again as a buyout.
- 1:19:42Speaker 7: I mean, you're making it very clear that it's championship
- 1:19:46Speaker 7: or you're out. You're either giving us a championship caliber
- 1:19:49Speaker 7: team or you're not going to be here anymore. Well,
- 1:19:52Speaker 7: how can you just keep giving multi year deals worth
- 1:19:56Speaker 7: ten twelve million dollars to head coaches and just keep
- 1:20:00Speaker 7: stacking that pile. I mean, it doesn't it's not feasible
- 1:20:04Speaker 7: at this point.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: Coach.
- 1:20:05Speaker 7: I know we got other things to get to, but
- 1:20:07Speaker 7: it's just not feasible. I'm very curious to see the
- 1:20:11Speaker 7: next contract of the next LSU head coach and what
- 1:20:14Speaker 7: it looks like.
- 1:20:16Speaker 12: Well, that contract will be out of out of control.
- 1:20:19Speaker 12: Crazy if they go and get an established coach that
- 1:20:22Speaker 12: already has one of those contracts, right, That's that's where listen,
- 1:20:28Speaker 12: do you guys remember Jake dicker Jake Dickert got the
- 1:20:31Speaker 12: job at Washington State because Nick Rolovich wouldn't take the
- 1:20:36Speaker 12: vaccine right. Nick wouldn't take it, he cited religious reasons,
- 1:20:41Speaker 12: and Jake Dickert gets put in the job. No one
- 1:20:44Speaker 12: knew who Jake Dickert was other than a few people
- 1:20:47Speaker 12: who you know studying Couger defense. But all of a
- 1:20:50Speaker 12: sudden he's the head coach and he does a pretty
- 1:20:52Speaker 12: dang good job, such to the fact that when he
- 1:20:56Speaker 12: gets an opportunity to go to Wake Forest, given the
- 1:20:58Speaker 12: situation that Washington's. They finds itself in without necessarily a conference.
- 1:21:04Speaker 12: He goes to Wake Forest and not Wake Forest.
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: Is doing great.
- 1:21:06Speaker 12: They just beat SMU, the first time SMU lost an
- 1:21:09Speaker 12: ACC game since joining that league. Jake Dickert would have
- 1:21:14Speaker 12: taken any one year deal that you would have given him.
- 1:21:16Speaker 12: There are a ton of Jake Dickert's out there. We
- 1:21:20Speaker 12: just keep going because we have to win a press
- 1:21:23Speaker 12: conference and we have to impress people as to who
- 1:21:26Speaker 12: our guy is and how many games he's won. Lane
- 1:21:28Speaker 12: Tiffen can call his number. Lane Tiffin can go to Florida,
- 1:21:32Speaker 12: he can go to LSU And he's on McAfee the
- 1:21:35Speaker 12: other day saying I don't care about money. But I
- 1:21:37Speaker 12: can't say that because Jimmy, Jimmy Sext and his agent
- 1:21:41Speaker 12: gets all ticked off at him, because Jimmy is not
- 1:21:43Speaker 12: only making it for Lane, he's making it for the
- 1:21:46Speaker 12: other eleven guys that he represents in the SEC. Because
- 1:21:49Speaker 12: he's moving the chairs. He's like a marionette. It's crazy
- 1:21:53Speaker 12: what dance we're dancing because they say he got to dance.
- 1:21:58Speaker 12: There's plenty of coaches. We're caught up in this world.
- 1:22:02Speaker 12: There's only a few of us that can figure out
- 1:22:04Speaker 12: how to drop a ball play. That just isn't the case.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Man, are you worried it's going to blow the whole
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: thing up? You're not that. You're not worried that will
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: come to our senses eventually shut out.
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: The game's too good.
- 1:22:16Speaker 12: What is wonderful on Saturdays is that even though there's
- 1:22:19Speaker 12: money involved, the kids still play their tails off. They
- 1:22:23Speaker 12: love it, they can't get enough of it. Now, we
- 1:22:26Speaker 12: got to be the adults in the room and figure
- 1:22:29Speaker 12: out the financials so it's fair and equitable. And I
- 1:22:32Speaker 12: mean across the entire athletic department. I'm not talking about
- 1:22:36Speaker 12: any individual. I'm talking about the entire athletic department. So
- 1:22:39Speaker 12: college athletics can still be there and be sustainable for
- 1:22:43Speaker 12: the long haul. So the kids, the vast majority of them,
- 1:22:47Speaker 12: ninety eight percent of them not going on to play
- 1:22:50Speaker 12: pro right, ninety eight percent, can have a meaningful college
- 1:22:54Speaker 12: athletic experience and be in springboard mode to life after sport.
- 1:22:59Speaker 4: That's what we need to do.
- 1:23:00Speaker 12: And for anybody else it's not happy with that, I
- 1:23:03Speaker 12: can't help you.
- 1:23:04Speaker 7: Yeah, rig new Eiel is with us. His segment every
- 1:23:06Speaker 7: week brought to you by Taco Tim. I thought that
- 1:23:08Speaker 7: was a subject worthy of spending a lot of time
- 1:23:10Speaker 7: on here today, and we've done that, But I do
- 1:23:13Speaker 7: got to get to the other parts of college football
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: that we wanted to discuss with you, including you, Dub.
- 1:23:17Speaker 7: How nice of a win was that for jet Fish
- 1:23:20Speaker 7: in the program over Illinois on Saturday?
- 1:23:22Speaker 12: Got Demon Williams going again. He's twenty six to thirty
- 1:23:26Speaker 12: three to two eighty and he runs for sixty six.
- 1:23:29Speaker 12: That's what you have to do. The two teams that
- 1:23:31Speaker 12: have beaten Washington have held Demon Williams to minus rucking yards.
- 1:23:37Speaker 12: His legs open up the rest of the offense, and
- 1:23:41Speaker 12: the schedule sets up beautifully for him. You know they're
- 1:23:44Speaker 12: going to be favored in their next three games. The
- 1:23:46Speaker 12: only exception will be the finale against Oregon. But if
- 1:23:51Speaker 12: they can win the next three, they get to even
- 1:23:53Speaker 12: if the Oregon game doesn't go well, that's nine and three.
- 1:23:56Speaker 4: A bowl game puts.
- 1:23:57Speaker 12: You into a ten and three, ten win season. That
- 1:24:00Speaker 12: is progress, And anybody paying attention to Washington football is
- 1:24:04Speaker 12: going to start taking very close notice about wanting to
- 1:24:07Speaker 12: come to play at Montlay.
- 1:24:09Speaker 5: So how much credit do you give him? Just for
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: that time you're beating your first ranked opponent. Maybe it's
- 1:24:13Speaker 5: not a signature win that same way it would have
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: been to obviously shock the world against Ohio State or
- 1:24:18Speaker 5: beat Michigan at the Big House. But is it the
- 1:24:21Speaker 5: closest thing to a signature winning the Jeff Fish Air.
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: It's a great win.
- 1:24:27Speaker 12: The Michigan win last year was a great win because
- 1:24:29Speaker 12: of the brand that it represents. These listen, Jed's putting
- 1:24:33Speaker 12: it together. But this quarterback is special and if you
- 1:24:36Speaker 12: can unlock him and mandate the first thing you do
- 1:24:40Speaker 12: in your game plan is how am I getting his
- 1:24:43Speaker 12: fifty two one hundred yards? Because everything else comes up,
- 1:24:46Speaker 12: a play action pass and all of it.
- 1:24:48Speaker 4: If you just figure that out, you're.
- 1:24:50Speaker 12: Going to have a great chance to win every time
- 1:24:51Speaker 12: you get out there.
- 1:24:53Speaker 7: Rick new iiil joining us here on Checking Buck on
- 1:24:56Speaker 7: the Mornings as we talk from college football here today.
- 1:24:59Speaker 7: Well they're on by this week, so plenty of other
- 1:25:02Speaker 7: games to entertain us with, including Ohio State number one
- 1:25:07Speaker 7: taking on Penn State.
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: This was supposed to be the game of the year.
- 1:25:11Speaker 7: How disappointing is it for you and your CBS brethren
- 1:25:15Speaker 7: to not have this be the game of the year.
- 1:25:18Speaker 12: It is unfortunate for all of those networks that paid
- 1:25:23Speaker 12: so much handsomely for the Big Ten deal. You know,
- 1:25:26Speaker 12: there are six teams in the Big Ten that are
- 1:25:28Speaker 12: on buy, including the Huskies. So Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington, Northwestern, Ucla,
- 1:25:34Speaker 12: and Oregon are all taking the weekend off. We get
- 1:25:38Speaker 12: Indiana at Maryland. Yeah right, So listen, Maryland has been
- 1:25:44Speaker 12: a They're one and three in conference play. They've been
- 1:25:47Speaker 12: ahead and all three losses in the fourth quarter. So
- 1:25:50Speaker 12: it's not unthinkable. But the way Indiana's playing, it's hard
- 1:25:55Speaker 12: to muster a case. It's going to be that the
- 1:25:59Speaker 12: Fernando knows the story is a great one, as Signetti's
- 1:26:03Speaker 12: story is a great one. It's going to be a
- 1:26:06Speaker 12: tall order for the Terps to get that done.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: How good is Indiana? I mean, they are fantastic, are
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: they not?
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: They are?
- 1:26:14Speaker 12: You know how when we get to college basketball season,
- 1:26:16Speaker 12: we always sit and listen to the analysts say, well,
- 1:26:19Speaker 12: this is a really old team, and how that benefits
- 1:26:22Speaker 12: when you get to tournament time. This is a really
- 1:26:26Speaker 12: old team in the trenches, offensive, defensive lines. These are
- 1:26:31Speaker 12: twenty two, twenty three year old kids that all have
- 1:26:35Speaker 12: you know, built their bodies to a place where they
- 1:26:39Speaker 12: are dominant. They have played. They held Oregon, and we've
- 1:26:43Speaker 12: got Oregon as one of the top brands and teams
- 1:26:45Speaker 12: in the country. They held Oregon until the final little
- 1:26:48Speaker 12: you know, couple of throws down the field versus a
- 1:26:51Speaker 12: prevent deal to forty one yards. In the second half,
- 1:26:54Speaker 12: Oregon scored one touchdown. UCLA had two field goals. Two
- 1:26:58Speaker 12: field goals last week. Oregon had one touchdown in two
- 1:27:02Speaker 12: field goals in the game previous, the other touchdown coming
- 1:27:04Speaker 12: by a pick six. So this is no accident. This
- 1:27:08Speaker 12: is a really good team and Signetti is loving it.
- 1:27:12Speaker 12: He loves to break the will and remind everybody how
- 1:27:16Speaker 12: good they are. Kind of fun to watch him. Just
- 1:27:19Speaker 12: take the role of I told you so.
- 1:27:21Speaker 7: All right, So Indiana Maryland on CBS. Yeah, Fox has
- 1:27:25Speaker 7: the Ohio State Penn State game. I was just thinking,
- 1:27:27Speaker 7: you guys had big ten games, so forgive me for that.
- 1:27:31Speaker 7: But yeah, it's too bad for Fox because that was
- 1:27:34Speaker 7: supposed to be the game of the year and now yeah,
- 1:27:37Speaker 7: now it seems like it's a dud. All right, there
- 1:27:39Speaker 7: are some other really good games this weekend. Vanderbilt continues
- 1:27:43Speaker 7: its role. Can they do it in Austin, Texas?
- 1:27:48Speaker 12: You know they can. I think the wrong team's favor here.
- 1:27:51Speaker 12: I think Vanderbilt should be the favorite. Texas was down
- 1:27:54Speaker 12: seventeen in Starkville last week and because of Jeff Levy
- 1:27:59Speaker 12: just completely lost his mind the head coach at Mississippi
- 1:28:02Speaker 12: State and punted to Ryan Niblett, who ran a punt
- 1:28:05Speaker 12: back against Oklahoma, ran a punt back against Kentucky, and
- 1:28:09Speaker 12: yet with a seven point lead two minutes left in
- 1:28:12Speaker 12: the game, he punts to him and the guy goes
- 1:28:14Speaker 12: seventy nine yards for a touchdown, and so they go
- 1:28:17Speaker 12: to overtime and he loses, having squandered a seventeen point
- 1:28:21Speaker 12: lead in the second half. Stuff happens, but you can't
- 1:28:24Speaker 12: let players who have proven they can do it do it.
- 1:28:27Speaker 12: So Vanderbilt comes in with this Diego Pavia kid that
- 1:28:31Speaker 12: is incredible, And I just think that because of the
- 1:28:35Speaker 12: way their defense and offense are complementary, and the lack
- 1:28:39Speaker 12: of Texas being able to establish a running game, I
- 1:28:42Speaker 12: think the Commodores are going to.
- 1:28:43Speaker 7: Win Oklahoma Tennessee. I mean, we can start labeling these things.
- 1:28:48Speaker 7: This is like losers out of the tournament. That's where
- 1:28:52Speaker 7: we're at at this point in the season.
- 1:28:53Speaker 12: Now that we have got the playoff games. Yeah, that's
- 1:28:55Speaker 12: the playoff game, no question about it. I think Miami
- 1:28:59Speaker 12: and sm SMU's got three losses, but they could still
- 1:29:02Speaker 12: win the s the ACC because they've only got the
- 1:29:05Speaker 12: one loss. The Miami SMU games definitely a playoff game.
- 1:29:11Speaker 12: Cincinnati and Utah is a great game this week. I
- 1:29:16Speaker 12: think USC Nebraska. The Trojans have to win in Lincoln
- 1:29:20Speaker 12: if they're going to keep their hopes alive. So there's
- 1:29:23Speaker 12: a number of good games. Texas Tech is on upset alert.
- 1:29:26Speaker 12: They go to Kansas State. Kansas State has won the
- 1:29:29Speaker 12: last two, Avery Johnson looking like a player, and Texas
- 1:29:33Speaker 12: Tech is without their backup quarterback. So Baron Morton's starter,
- 1:29:37Speaker 12: who's a little nicked up. He's going to have to play,
- 1:29:39Speaker 12: but he's got to stay healthy.
- 1:29:41Speaker 7: Nice call with the Koogs with your Taco Time pick
- 1:29:43Speaker 7: of the week last week, So you're on a roll.
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: Where are you going this week?
- 1:29:49Speaker 12: We're going with Bandy No points needed, give me the
- 1:29:52Speaker 12: Commodorees my guy Clark Lee Diego Pavia strikes the pos
- 1:29:56Speaker 12: again in Longhorn.
- 1:29:58Speaker 7: Land, well, I'd like to think that Clark Lee's completely
- 1:30:02Speaker 7: focused on Texas, but my guess is he got a
- 1:30:05Speaker 7: thousand calls from fifteen different coaching vacancies this week.
- 1:30:09Speaker 12: Did you see after the game that Jimmy Sexton was
- 1:30:12Speaker 12: over there giving.
- 1:30:12Speaker 4: Him the big bear huse.
- 1:30:13Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, of course he's there sniffing around exactly.
- 1:30:20Speaker 7: All right, coach, Well, we fired through a lot great
- 1:30:22Speaker 7: stuff this morning. We appreciate it, and we will talk
- 1:30:26Speaker 7: to you again next week.
- 1:30:28Speaker 12: Don't lose heart and best college football. It's still the
- 1:30:30Speaker 12: best game on the planet. It'll it'll pick it, We'll
- 1:30:33Speaker 12: get it fixed.
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: The product's phenomenal.
- 1:30:35Speaker 7: I mean, I probably enjoyed the last three years of
- 1:30:37Speaker 7: college football more than I have at any point in
- 1:30:40Speaker 7: my life, despite all of this chaos all that is
- 1:30:43Speaker 7: going on around us.
- 1:30:45Speaker 12: Yep, we'll, we'll, we'll just forced these guys into a
- 1:30:48Speaker 12: room and make them understand that you can't screw up
- 1:30:50Speaker 12: the greatest game on the planet.
- 1:30:52Speaker 7: Thank you, coach, appreciate you guys, all right right now,
- 1:30:55Speaker 7: Heizel joining us right here on Chuck and Bucket's segment
- 1:30:58Speaker 7: every week brought to you by Time Haco Time. Yeah,
- 1:31:00Speaker 7: a lot to discuss, a lot to do. There was
- 1:31:02Speaker 7: a lot more left on that bone too, all right,
