0:51
Speaker 1: want to I said this in our first headline segment yesterday.
0:56
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys finally had a chance to mourn their
0:58
Speaker 1: teammate Marshawn Neeland. Brian Schottenheimer, who we know very well
1:02
Speaker 1: here in Seattle. Now the head coach of the Dallas
1:04
Speaker 1: Cowboys spoke about it yesterday at the press conference, and
1:08
Speaker 1: I thought it was worth playing here this morning for
1:10
Speaker 1: you because, man, is this is about as good as
1:13
Speaker 1: you can do it. Here's Brian Schottenheimer.
1:16
Speaker 2: I'd like to just take a few moments and offer
1:21
Speaker 2: my condolences to you know, Marshawn's family, Catalina, his girlfriend,
1:29
Speaker 2: and we had an opportunity last night to celebrate Marshawn's life,
1:36
Speaker 2: tell some stories, share laugh, cry. Marshawn loved the words
1:43
Speaker 2: one love, so we talked a lot about love as
1:47
Speaker 2: we grieve, and I just had a chance to really
1:51
Speaker 2: share a couple of things that I'll miss the most
1:54
Speaker 2: about Marshawn. Those top couple things was he had the
1:59
Speaker 2: most playful spirit of any young man I've been around.
2:05
Speaker 2: His smile could take you to your knees, and in
2:10
Speaker 2: terms of him as an athlete, no one had a
2:12
Speaker 2: better motor than him. So my heart is heavy, our
2:16
Speaker 2: team's heart is heavy. We don't move on, but we
2:21
Speaker 2: do move forward.
2:25
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer. Yesterday there was a little bit more to
2:28
Speaker 1: it which was really impactful. But Brian Schottenheimer, Yeah, I
2:32
Speaker 1: thought he just handled it perfectly. I now understand why
2:35
Speaker 1: people think so highly of that guy. At least that
2:38
Speaker 1: was a nice job by him. I'm not going to
2:40
Speaker 1: transition right like that into softy. Let's rip through the
2:43
Speaker 1: other headlines for you. Husky's taking on Purdue this Saturday,
2:48
Speaker 1: and this Friday Tomorrow night, Husky's basketball taking on the
2:53
Speaker 1: Koogs and Pullman Friday eight o'clock. Tip number two Perdue
2:56
Speaker 1: versus Alabama. If you actually want to watch a good
2:59
Speaker 1: sporting Tonight versus Thursday night football is a very good game.
3:03
Speaker 1: Crack in and the Jets played tonight at Climate Pledge Arena,
3:07
Speaker 1: and Paul Skins and Tarik Skubel are your cy Young
3:10
Speaker 1: Award winners tonight, we know the most valuable players in
3:14
Speaker 1: both the national and American leagues joining us now to
3:17
Speaker 1: talk about that and many other things. Our guy David Sooft.
3:20
Speaker 3: Joined the buckets of rain that are coming down outside
3:23
Speaker 3: my house right now.
3:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think you're gonna be talking about cal
3:27
Speaker 1: Raley MVP tonight?
3:29
Speaker 4: We talked about that yesterday.
3:31
Speaker 3: You know, I have said for the last month and
3:34
Speaker 3: a half I think he's gonna win it, and so yeah,
3:38
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna win it, you know, but nobody
3:40
Speaker 3: can be surprised or angry. I think on either side, right.
3:43
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a Yankee fan, you're pulling for Judge.
3:46
Speaker 3: You're a Mariner fan, you're pulling for cal Rally. I mean,
3:49
Speaker 3: I don't think any fan base can be pissed off
3:51
Speaker 3: if their guy didn't win. I mean, for us, from
3:53
Speaker 3: our perspective, if caw doesn't get it done. Look, man,
3:56
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, I don't know, ps two hundred points higher
3:59
Speaker 3: than cal. He I had like thirty seven extra hits
4:01
Speaker 3: in seven less games than cal Rawley did. Obviously he's
4:05
Speaker 3: a much more well rounded I think you guys would
4:08
Speaker 3: agree with that offensive player. But when you factor in
4:11
Speaker 3: the defense and the impact that cal Rawley had on
4:14
Speaker 3: the sport and in his clubhouse, I don't know. I've
4:18
Speaker 3: just had a funny feeling since the middle of September
4:20
Speaker 3: that cal is gonna win it. And I don't know
4:22
Speaker 3: if I've heard anything from any potential voters that's made
4:25
Speaker 3: me change my mind since the end of the regular season.
4:28
Speaker 4: What do you think? I mean?
4:29
Speaker 3: I if I told you pick the winner of the
4:31
Speaker 3: MVP tonight, guys, and if you're wrong, you're going to
4:34
Speaker 3: sleep on the sidewalk for a week.
4:35
Speaker 4: Who do you take?
4:37
Speaker 1: I would pick Cal to win it, but I think
4:40
Speaker 1: Aaron's going to edge him out slightly. That's my that's
4:43
Speaker 1: my feeling.
4:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which is again, I'm not going to throw
4:46
Speaker 3: a fit if that happens, right Like, I'm trying to
4:49
Speaker 3: pick myself and prepare everybody that if Aaron Judge wins,
4:52
Speaker 3: it's not some I don't think it's some highway criminal robbery.
4:56
Speaker 3: If Aaron Judge wins the MVP, I mean, he's an
4:58
Speaker 3: unbelievable player. The MVP is supposed to go to the
5:02
Speaker 3: best player in baseball, regardless of where their team finished.
5:05
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would agree with that.
5:07
Speaker 3: It's the best player. I mean, you and I are
5:09
Speaker 3: old enough to remember when Andre Dawson won the MVP
5:11
Speaker 3: on the last place Cubs team forty years ago, right
5:14
Speaker 3: in eighty seven the Hawk. He was amazing, man, So hey,
5:18
Speaker 3: look I get it. You know, maybe there's some Yankee
5:20
Speaker 3: fatigue that will help out col But I don't know.
5:23
Speaker 1: Man.
5:24
Speaker 3: We've been talking about this for a while in the
5:25
Speaker 3: year with the Heisman, and maybe it's send to do
5:27
Speaker 3: a baseball with how many teams are making the playoffs,
5:29
Speaker 3: guys that maybe we should start including the postseason when
5:33
Speaker 3: it comes to voting for the MVP as well.
5:35
Speaker 1: Oh, you're taking a little level out of approach. Ashley
5:37
Speaker 1: and Bucky both threatened to kidnap Aaron Boone and hold
5:40
Speaker 1: him for ransom. Yeah, Cal doesn't wall.
5:43
Speaker 3: It just goes to show you how wacko those people are.
5:46
Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest.
5:46
Speaker 5: There are other things, but I'm not allowed to say it,
5:48
Speaker 5: but actually.
5:49
Speaker 3: Has got a lot of I mean, the engine is running,
5:51
Speaker 3: but there's nobody behind the wheel.
5:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, just be honest.
5:53
Speaker 5: A couple wacko nut John, You're not the first person
5:56
Speaker 5: to say that.
5:56
Speaker 1: What I got to deal with every day.
5:58
Speaker 3: There's not that from Mark, by the way.
6:01
Speaker 1: Oh, there's not a lot of time.
6:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's not a lot of times that I'll
6:07
Speaker 6: get super frustrated, especially about something like this that really
6:11
Speaker 6: is neither here nor there.
6:12
Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be nice to win.
6:13
Speaker 6: An MVP, but yeah, I think Cal would rather If
6:16
Speaker 6: you asked Cal, hey, would you rather win a World
6:18
Speaker 6: Series and not win the MVP or not win the
6:21
Speaker 6: World Series and but you get that trophy, he wouldn't
6:24
Speaker 6: even be close.
6:24
Speaker 4: So totally.
6:25
Speaker 6: It's but I yeah, I don't know if I want
6:28
Speaker 6: to sleep on the sidewalk, but I might be stomping
6:30
Speaker 6: up and down some sidewalks.
6:32
Speaker 3: Interesting, mad, Yeah, I mean, look, the guy's a stud man,
6:36
Speaker 3: no doubt. I mean, you know the amount of time
6:39
Speaker 3: he spent behind the dish. I mean, he's the captain
6:42
Speaker 3: of the team.
6:43
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys. I've told you, guys.
6:45
Speaker 3: The exact moment in time that I fell in love
6:47
Speaker 3: with cal Rawley is when he called out the baseball
6:49
Speaker 3: team when they missed the playoffs in twenty three. Scott
6:52
Speaker 3: Service told him to calm down. That's the exact day
6:54
Speaker 3: that Scott Service lost me. In the exact day I
6:56
Speaker 3: turned AI over to cal Raley. Remember the movie That
7:00
Speaker 3: Natural when Roy Hobbs struck out the Whammer and Barbara
7:03
Speaker 3: Hershey went from stocking the Whammer to stocking Roy Hobbs. Yeah,
7:07
Speaker 3: at that exact second, that was you. That's that was me, man,
7:10
Speaker 3: I was I was Barbara Hershey when I could not
7:13
Speaker 3: believe it. Yeah, could not, Bucky, I mean, you played
7:16
Speaker 3: the game. Can you imagine a former catcher as this
7:19
Speaker 3: guy's manager and he's showing all that emotion, all that passion.
7:23
Speaker 3: After missing the playoffs, he's pissed off, he's angry, and
7:26
Speaker 3: his manager tells him to control himself get out of here.
7:29
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, because that manager was best buddies with the
7:32
Speaker 6: guy he was calling out. And now, I bet if
7:34
Speaker 6: you asked Scott's service, do you regret that? Now He's like, no,
7:37
Speaker 6: I was thinking the same damn thing.
7:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want my blood still to this day.
7:41
Speaker 1: I just want to point out, by the way, to
7:43
Speaker 1: our listeners and maybe to you. Maybe you need to
7:46
Speaker 1: hear this. You do know Barbara Hershey ended up shooting
7:49
Speaker 1: Roy Hobbs. Yes, okay, all.
7:50
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, unless cal Rowley wants to take like twenty
7:56
Speaker 3: years off and then come back and play at the
7:57
Speaker 3: age of forty five with a bullet has gout hit
7:59
Speaker 3: a game home run to put the M's on the
8:01
Speaker 3: World Series?
8:01
Speaker 1: No, we got to win the World Series. That would
8:03
Speaker 1: be incredible. Yeah right, all right, Well, uh, let me
8:06
Speaker 1: ask you, since Bucky's already thinking about stomping up and
8:09
Speaker 1: down the sidewalks. Were you were you stomping up and
8:11
Speaker 1: down the sidewalks when I lumped you into my little
8:15
Speaker 1: lesson in how you can't go by head to head
8:19
Speaker 1: so heavily in college football playoff basketball.
8:22
Speaker 3: I mean, I gotta be honest with you, and I
8:24
Speaker 3: don't know how else to say it, so I'll just
8:26
Speaker 3: say it. Your argument that you had yesterday for people
8:29
Speaker 3: that are mad about you can't just go head to
8:31
Speaker 3: head and all that stuff. I've never said that on
8:34
Speaker 3: the air like ever. So I don't even know where
8:37
Speaker 3: that came from.
8:38
Speaker 4: No, you said it.
8:38
Speaker 1: We were talking and you were like, you couldn't believe
8:40
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago the one team wasn't rated
8:42
Speaker 1: when they beat them head down.
8:44
Speaker 4: I got, I've got problems with the poll overall.
8:47
Speaker 3: Okay, but to just go strictly on head to head
8:50
Speaker 3: dot down the top twenty five, I totally agree with
8:54
Speaker 3: that shock. I mean, just because you beat one team
8:56
Speaker 3: doesn't mean you got a better overall resume than that team.
8:59
Speaker 4: I mean.
9:01
Speaker 3: You should apology. Yeah, So I spent the entire night
9:04
Speaker 3: just stewing. Man, I was mean to my wife, I
9:06
Speaker 3: was impatient with my dogs.
9:08
Speaker 4: I flung up the phone on.
9:09
Speaker 3: My mond the dogs terrible mood because of your ridiculous
9:13
Speaker 3: cockamami accusation from yesterday's show. But here's my problem with
9:17
Speaker 3: the poll. My problem really is with the AP pole
9:20
Speaker 3: and not even the CFP, to be totally honest with you.
9:22
Speaker 3: First of all, I find it ridiculous the teams are
9:24
Speaker 3: getting rewarded with head starts during the preseason for things
9:29
Speaker 3: they haven't earned yet.
9:30
Speaker 4: Like I'll give you an example.
9:32
Speaker 3: Notre Dame has one win over a top twenty five
9:34
Speaker 3: team in USC They're number nine in the country right now.
9:36
Speaker 3: You know why, because they began the year at number six.
9:39
Speaker 3: How about the Iowa Hawk guys, the Iowaha guys, you
9:42
Speaker 3: saw this buckey. They pushed your ducks to the limit
9:44
Speaker 3: baby on Saturday in Iowa City. They're six and three.
9:47
Speaker 3: They got three losses by ten points combined to Indiana,
9:51
Speaker 3: Oregon in Iowa State. They're not even ranked in the
9:54
Speaker 3: AP pole anymore. You know why, partially because they began
9:58
Speaker 3: the year at number forty four in the country. Tennessee
10:02
Speaker 3: began the year in the top twenty five. They're six
10:05
Speaker 3: and three, they've beaten nobody, and they're still in the.
10:07
Speaker 4: Top twenty five.
10:08
Speaker 3: So I think these teams that get these head starts
10:11
Speaker 3: over the offseason, I think it's ridiculous. I'm glad the
10:14
Speaker 3: AP Pole doesn't play any role whatsoever in selecting these teams, unless,
10:18
Speaker 3: like me, you're a little bit convinced and maybe concerned
10:23
Speaker 3: that the Committee is slightly influenced by the eight Peopole
10:26
Speaker 3: when they make their initial selections, which I think they
10:29
Speaker 3: possibly are influenced by the AP Pole, and I don't
10:32
Speaker 3: think they should be whatsoever. So look, the AP Pole
10:35
Speaker 3: is never going away. It's a third party entity. They
10:38
Speaker 3: make many off it. It's a great news organization, as
10:40
Speaker 3: John Wilner has said over and over again. But the
10:43
Speaker 3: only freaking poll that matters is the one that came
10:45
Speaker 3: out last week for the first time, and that's the
10:47
Speaker 3: c if people.
10:48
Speaker 4: The APO Pole, in my opinion, needs to die. That's it.
10:53
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
10:54
Speaker 6: I'm with you, that's you. Just kind of put it
10:57
Speaker 6: the way they have one frustrating to me.
10:59
Speaker 4: One more? Can I add one more?
11:00
Speaker 1: Yes?
11:01
Speaker 4: Please?
11:02
Speaker 3: How in the hell do you guys beat Iowa and
11:05
Speaker 3: then flip spots with old Miss who beat the Citadel?
11:09
Speaker 1: They didn't flip spots All Miss was in the ap
11:13
Speaker 1: Poes again.
11:14
Speaker 3: In the AP Pole, they absolutely fliped spots, which is why, like,
11:17
Speaker 3: what are we doing?
11:18
Speaker 1: Man?
11:18
Speaker 3: Why do we even bother with the AP pole. I mean, guys,
11:21
Speaker 3: how often do you look at the coaches poll these days?
11:23
Speaker 4: Never?
11:24
Speaker 1: Right?
11:24
Speaker 3: Ever, that's the way the AP polls gotta go the
11:27
Speaker 3: way the coaches pull right down the toilet.
11:29
Speaker 1: So you don't want any polls at all during the
11:31
Speaker 1: regular only.
11:31
Speaker 3: Poll that I want, The only poll that I want
11:35
Speaker 3: is the CFP poll that comes out in the early
11:38
Speaker 3: part of November.
11:40
Speaker 1: That's where I completely disagree. That's why I like the polls.
11:42
Speaker 1: I like the numbers, and I like the conversation around
11:45
Speaker 1: the numbers. You have a problem with them, great, but
11:48
Speaker 1: I think we need the numbers. I think we would
11:50
Speaker 1: miss the numbers if we didn't have that. I think
11:52
Speaker 1: you would miss the numbers.
11:53
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would agree with you.
11:55
Speaker 3: But I also think you're smart enough to know who's
11:57
Speaker 3: good and who's not. And again, I think in the NFL,
12:00
Speaker 3: for example, we don't need preseason rankings to tell us
12:03
Speaker 3: who's good and who's bad. In the NFL, we watched
12:06
Speaker 3: the sport because we love the sport, and I agree
12:08
Speaker 3: with you initially, Chuck, it would be odd because it's
12:11
Speaker 3: all we know. But eventually they go away and the
12:14
Speaker 3: only poll you have is the one that comes out
12:16
Speaker 3: in the second week in November.
12:18
Speaker 4: You'd get used to it.
12:19
Speaker 1: The Dogs did not remain ranked for very long. What
12:22
Speaker 1: the hell happened in Madison?
12:24
Speaker 3: Disgrace, disgrace. They they gave it away everything Wisconsin had.
12:28
Speaker 3: They gave it away three scoring drives that all began
12:31
Speaker 3: inside the Husky fifty yard line. Thought the defense was
12:34
Speaker 3: actually pretty damn good man. I mean, the defense gave
12:37
Speaker 3: up the one touchdown when Wisconsin got the ball on
12:40
Speaker 3: the seven yard line and they couldn't stop him from
12:43
Speaker 3: getting out of the end zone. Bad special teams punting
12:46
Speaker 3: was terrible. Some of the decisions by Demon Williams, and
12:49
Speaker 3: there's a reason for it. He's nineteen years old. He
12:51
Speaker 3: hasn't figured out the road thing yet. We're terrible. The
12:55
Speaker 3: interception to des Roebuck, it was obvious that that annoyed
12:58
Speaker 3: the coaching staff.
12:59
Speaker 4: That's a mistake.
13:00
Speaker 3: Can't make throwing that ball down the field third and twelve, scrambling,
13:04
Speaker 3: turning his back away from the defense and dropping the pill.
13:07
Speaker 3: You want to go down and just go down and
13:09
Speaker 3: punt and live to see another day. But you know
13:11
Speaker 3: this offense for me, and I'll just say this. I
13:16
Speaker 3: think they're a bit of a paper tiger, right, I mean,
13:19
Speaker 3: I don't know what else to say. Like, some of
13:21
Speaker 3: the numbers look great, you know, overall, but then you
13:25
Speaker 3: look at the way they've played on the road at
13:27
Speaker 3: Michigan and at Wisconsin for an entire half against Maryland
13:31
Speaker 3: Ohio State. I mean, if they're really one of the
13:34
Speaker 3: elite offenses in football, they're not gonna play four games
13:38
Speaker 3: like that where they just get totally shut down, totally
13:42
Speaker 3: shut down by the opponent. You know, maybe it happens
13:46
Speaker 3: once and you play the number one team in the country, Okay, whatever,
13:48
Speaker 3: you can excuse it.
13:50
Speaker 4: But this is now three or four.
13:51
Speaker 3: Times, guys, where their offense hasn't even shown up in
13:54
Speaker 3: a game, and that's not the mark of an elite offense.
13:58
Speaker 3: So I don't even really care what the numbers say
14:00
Speaker 3: overall nationally, guys. I just think that they're they're kind
14:03
Speaker 3: of a paper tiger. And when it comes to how
14:05
Speaker 3: elite people really think they are.
14:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.
14:09
Speaker 4: I thought, I know you agree with that book.
14:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I mean I don't have the disdain that
14:14
Speaker 6: most Duck fans do for UW. You know that and
14:17
Speaker 6: so to me, it was just I thought it was preemptive.
14:20
Speaker 6: I thought that there was a wow, number one offense
14:22
Speaker 6: in the country, and it's like, but they there's things
14:25
Speaker 6: that I think are going to come back to haunt them.
14:27
Speaker 6: And this week, this past weekend, was one of those games. So,
14:31
Speaker 6: I mean, demon Williams. We've talked a lot about him.
14:34
Speaker 6: He's unbelievably explosive and fantastic to watch when things are clicking.
14:38
Speaker 6: But what is it when you're watching him right now?
14:40
Speaker 6: Because if if it is a paper tiger, at times
14:43
Speaker 6: it looks like a tiger and other times it looks
14:45
Speaker 6: very paperish, paper mache ish, And so I'm wondering, what
14:49
Speaker 6: is it that you think most he needs to he
14:51
Speaker 6: needs to grow up with.
14:53
Speaker 3: I think they're putting way too much on his plate period,
14:56
Speaker 3: end of story. I think he's a nineteen year old
14:58
Speaker 3: quarterback and I think they are putting way too much
15:00
Speaker 3: on his shoulders. They don't have a running game right
15:03
Speaker 3: now at all. They have no consistent wide receiver even
15:06
Speaker 3: really behind Denzel Boston, and Denzel Boston's been up and
15:09
Speaker 3: down himself at times this year. They're relying on a
15:12
Speaker 3: ton of freshmen Desmond Roebuck, Radon Vines Bright for example.
15:15
Speaker 4: They have no tight end.
15:16
Speaker 3: At all, none, no pass catching tight end on this
15:20
Speaker 3: football team whatsoever. Their offensive line obviously has been banged up,
15:24
Speaker 3: and that's certainly a part of it. But I just
15:25
Speaker 3: think the identity of the football team, the responsibility to
15:29
Speaker 3: move the ball and score points, falls on the shoulders
15:32
Speaker 3: of a nineteen year old kid.
15:33
Speaker 4: I think it's too much. They're just putting too much
15:35
Speaker 4: on his plate.
15:36
Speaker 3: Like go back and look at the twenty twelve Seahawks
15:38
Speaker 3: for example, when Russell Wilson was a rookie, he had
15:40
Speaker 3: the league's highest paid offensive line. He had Marsharnon Lynch,
15:43
Speaker 3: Michael Robinson, Sydney Rice, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, and Zach Miller.
15:47
Speaker 4: He did not have to do anything.
15:49
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously he played great, but he had an
15:52
Speaker 3: incredible supporting cast. And I understand Bucky why that is
15:55
Speaker 3: at Washington because the roster two years ago got blown
15:58
Speaker 3: to bits when Caitlyn de Boree took off for Alabama,
16:01
Speaker 3: and there just hasn't been enough time, I think, to
16:04
Speaker 3: rebuild the offense to give a quarterback those types of
16:08
Speaker 3: pieces yet, right, let's see what happens a year or
16:10
Speaker 3: two years from now. But just overall, I think they're
16:13
Speaker 3: putting way, way, way too much of the responsibility on
16:17
Speaker 3: the shoulders of a nineteen year old kid.
16:19
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just skip perdue entirely this week because I've
16:21
Speaker 1: been wanting to ask you this all week long and
16:23
Speaker 1: I only got like a minute and a half. If
16:26
Speaker 1: that is Chris Peterson done done? Yeah, he has done.
16:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be very surprised if he came back to
16:33
Speaker 3: coach college football.
16:34
Speaker 1: If he hadn't removed himself for four years just to
16:36
Speaker 1: kind of gauge how NIL was gonna work, and then Okay,
16:39
Speaker 1: I think I can manage it now.
16:41
Speaker 3: You'll never say never, right, But I mean I was
16:43
Speaker 3: just talking to him like three weeks ago, and he's
16:46
Speaker 3: doing other stuff, right, And I think I'd be less
16:49
Speaker 3: surprised if Nick Saban came back. I mean, Nick Saban
16:51
Speaker 3: honestly has stayed way more involved in college football, as
16:56
Speaker 3: you know, than Chris Peterson has. So I'd be fairly
17:00
Speaker 3: surprised if Pete got back in the game.
17:02
Speaker 1: Ok.
17:02
Speaker 4: Why you want to bring him back?
17:03
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I mean, just sa all this
17:04
Speaker 1: fish Talk this week, and I'm like, uh, well, why
17:08
Speaker 1: steal somebody else when we've got somebody right here.
17:10
Speaker 3: He seems like the kind of guy that maybe he
17:14
Speaker 3: would come back on an interim basis if something happened
17:17
Speaker 3: in the middle of the year or late in the
17:19
Speaker 3: game over the offseason, Like God, was it Barry Alvarez
17:23
Speaker 3: that went back to Wisconsin to be like their interim AD?
17:26
Speaker 3: Remember that for a while.
17:27
Speaker 1: I think he was their AD for a long time.
17:29
Speaker 1: I think he was their AD and then became the
17:31
Speaker 1: interim head coach Okay a little while.
17:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, something along those lines.
17:34
Speaker 3: But you know what I'm talking about, Like we've seen
17:37
Speaker 3: you know, names name coaches come back, name AD's come
17:40
Speaker 3: back and see I'll help you out for a while,
17:42
Speaker 3: maybe do something like that. But I'd be pretty surprised.
17:45
Speaker 1: If he came back for good to know, Good to know,
17:47
Speaker 1: all right, you the man, Thank you very much. We
17:49
Speaker 1: appreciate anything. I need to plug this quickly.
17:52
Speaker 3: Let's say we're at the five twenty Mike calm grin,
17:54
Speaker 3: Rick new Heizel today, David Sampson, you guys know, Dave,
17:58
Speaker 3: the former president of the Marlin still join us in
18:01
Speaker 3: the five o'clock hour, and by then we'll well know
18:04
Speaker 3: if it's Coyle Rawley or Aaron Judge, so that should
18:07
Speaker 3: be announced around four o'clock this afternoon.
18:09
Speaker 1: All right, sale o to the wife and dogs.
18:11
Speaker 4: Okay, guys, all right, see you see.
18:13
Speaker 1: David Softy Molly joining us right here on Chugging Buck
18:16
Speaker 1: in the Morning's coming up next, Factor Fiction at seven
18:18
Speaker 1: thirty five. And here's another thing, a new wrinkle to
18:21
Speaker 1: the All Ram Seahawks rivalry. And I'm not sure everybody's
18:25
Speaker 1: aware is going to exist this Sunday, but it will.
18:28
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM Factor Fiction coming
18:32
Speaker 1: your way at seven thirty five this morning, right here
18:34
Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck, your opportunity at one thousand dollars
18:37
Speaker 1: in cash from a Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel. And
18:41
Speaker 1: it is my pick here today. Of course, we're getting
18:44
Speaker 1: ready for the twelve man round table at eight o'clock
18:46
Speaker 1: today Greg Bell Hugh Millen set to dissect the biggest
18:50
Speaker 1: game of the year so far, football game of the
18:53
Speaker 1: year so far, as the Seahawks get ready to take
18:55
Speaker 1: on the Los Angeles Rams, and is if there wasn't
18:58
Speaker 1: enough cool stuff going on in this matchup, the Rams
19:02
Speaker 1: are cracking out their rivalry uniforms. I guess they've never
19:06
Speaker 1: worn these before. Everybody's got rivalry uniforms this year, and
19:10
Speaker 1: most of the rivalry uniforms I don't those throwbacks don't count.
19:16
Speaker 1: I don't think those are the rivalry unit because there
19:18
Speaker 1: are a lot of bad throwback uniforms in the National
19:20
Speaker 1: Football League. But the rivalry ones I think have looked
19:23
Speaker 1: pretty good to this point. The Rams might break that
19:28
Speaker 1: there's a sizzle reel that is available where they're black.
19:31
Speaker 1: They're like midnight uniforms. They put black into their color schemes,
19:36
Speaker 1: so they're almost all black. Even in the sizzle reel
19:39
Speaker 1: uniform they don't look good, and that's that's the idea
19:42
Speaker 1: of a sizzle reel, is to really showcase the brand
19:46
Speaker 1: new uniform in its best way possible. So I think
19:50
Speaker 1: it's gonna be kind of gaudy looking. I think we're
19:52
Speaker 1: gonna I think we're gonna win the uniform battle no
19:55
Speaker 1: matter what this weekend.
19:57
Speaker 6: I don't think they're that bad. But then again, I
19:59
Speaker 6: don't mind in the blacked out ones. When I see
20:01
Speaker 6: there's a bunch of people with these new rivalry ones
20:03
Speaker 6: where they're all white within accents of their colors, or
20:08
Speaker 6: midnight blacked out where they're all black with accents of
20:11
Speaker 6: their colors. And I kind of like, I haven't seen
20:12
Speaker 6: one yet that I don't like. I don't mind this one.
20:14
Speaker 7: I well, everybody had a problem with the Seahawks one
20:17
Speaker 7: because they look kind of like Ducks uniforms, so around
20:19
Speaker 7: they came out, there was that this.
20:21
Speaker 1: One, I admit, I admit, yeah, they're terrible.
20:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, but this one, I feel like it's the sleeve
20:28
Speaker 7: is really bothering me.
20:29
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is.
20:30
Speaker 1: Kind of gotta go all black, don't you. Yeah, you
20:32
Speaker 1: just got a tuck air of blue Ram thing.
20:35
Speaker 7: It looks like their shoulder pads sticking out and they
20:38
Speaker 7: need to pull the uniform back over their shoulder pad.
20:40
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, it's just a sizzle reel, but it
20:42
Speaker 1: looks like they're like wearing a vest over their uniform. Yeah,
20:46
Speaker 1: as opposed to creating a brand new rivalry uniform for
20:51
Speaker 1: the occasion so it'll look different. We've never seen the
20:54
Speaker 1: Rams dressed like this before, and and I'm not sure
20:59
Speaker 1: that it's gonna look all that good on television. It
21:01
Speaker 1: doesn't even look good on the suit. I think it
21:02
Speaker 1: falls flat on the photos. And just so you know
21:04
Speaker 1: I'm not being biased, I think that our sizzle reel
21:07
Speaker 1: uniforms are terrible.
21:08
Speaker 5: Yeah again, they look like Ducks uniforms.
21:10
Speaker 1: They're not good.
21:12
Speaker 5: They're not good.
21:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not great. But I think they look all
21:14
Speaker 1: right too. Well yeah, yeah, all right. Let's play some
21:20
Speaker 1: Factor fiction right now on Chuck and Buck.
21:23
Speaker 4: Where's that to go? Glad you're with us?
21:25
Speaker 8: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
21:28
Speaker 8: ten thousand dollars grand price. It's fact door fiction, probably
21:33
Speaker 8: presented by Lucky Ego Casino and hotel where every day
21:37
Speaker 8: Feels Lucky. Factor Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three
21:42
Speaker 8: point three kJ r FM.
21:57
Speaker 1: Probably got two picks that I'd like to make today.
22:00
Speaker 1: Of course I can only make one. And since someone
22:03
Speaker 1: is allowing you to have some skin in the game
22:05
Speaker 1: tonight and Thursday night football, I am going to skip
22:08
Speaker 1: over to the college football side of things. It's been
22:11
Speaker 1: a rough year for the Penn State Nitney Lions. I
22:14
Speaker 1: mean it has been a rough year for the Penn
22:17
Speaker 1: State Nitney Lions. They've lost six straight games. They're o
22:20
Speaker 1: and six and Big Ten conference play. In many publications,
22:24
Speaker 1: they were the favorite, believe it or not, over both
22:26
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Indiana to win the conference this year.
22:30
Speaker 1: So it can't get worse than looking at your oh
22:33
Speaker 1: and six conference record. They fired their head coach for
22:36
Speaker 1: goodness sake, and yet they have been rallying as of late.
22:42
Speaker 1: They lost by one to Northwestern, they lost by one
22:45
Speaker 1: to Iowa. They were leading the number one ranked team
22:47
Speaker 1: in the country at halftime fourteen to seven, and they
22:50
Speaker 1: lost by a toe to the number two ranked team
22:53
Speaker 1: in the country just last week. I'm feeling like this
22:57
Speaker 1: is their super Bowl, Like there's not going to be
22:59
Speaker 1: a more motivated team in college football this weekend to win,
23:03
Speaker 1: and not just win, but to win convincingly. It feels
23:07
Speaker 1: like to me the Penn State Nitney Lions not only
23:09
Speaker 1: need a win, they could really use a blowout to
23:12
Speaker 1: make them feel better about themselves. And they've got the
23:15
Speaker 1: right team to face. Michigan State this year has lost
23:19
Speaker 1: also six games in conference play. They've lost five of
23:23
Speaker 1: them by double figures, including twenty five point home loss
23:28
Speaker 1: to UCLA, so home field advantage doesn't really work for them,
23:32
Speaker 1: and they've given up two hundred and eighty nine yards
23:35
Speaker 1: rushing to USC two hundred and seventy six yards rushing
23:38
Speaker 1: to Michigan two hundred and thirty eight yards rushing to UCLA.
23:41
Speaker 1: So you're getting my trend. And although Penn State doesn't
23:44
Speaker 1: have Drew Aller anymore, they still have both of their
23:47
Speaker 1: running backs and one of them has had an exceptional
23:49
Speaker 1: season in k Tron Allen. So I think Penn State's
23:52
Speaker 1: going to go into Michigan State, where home field advantage
23:55
Speaker 1: has not mattered this year, and they are going to
23:58
Speaker 1: run the f over the Michigan State Sparties and cover
24:02
Speaker 1: seven and a half on the road against Michigan State.
24:06
Speaker 1: Plus Michigan State just found out yesterday they're on probation,
24:10
Speaker 1: so don't kid yourself. There are a lot of Michigan
24:13
Speaker 1: State Spartan players that are thinking about where am I
24:15
Speaker 1: going to play football next year? So give me Penn
24:18
Speaker 1: State minus seven and a half on the road to
24:22
Speaker 1: just truck the Michigan State Spartans this weekend. That is
24:26
Speaker 1: my factor fiction pick. If you agree with it, text
24:28
Speaker 1: fact to four nine four or five to one. If
24:31
Speaker 1: you disagree with it, text fiction to four nine four
24:33
Speaker 1: five one If you're right, we enter your name into
24:35
Speaker 1: a drawing for one thousand dollars in cash at the
24:38
Speaker 1: end of the week. If you're wrong, who cares? Try
24:41
Speaker 1: again the next time that we play here at KJAR.
24:44
Speaker 1: Every time you're right when we play, we enter your
24:47
Speaker 1: name into that drawing for one thousand dollars in cash.
24:51
Speaker 1: It's all provided by Lucky Eagle Casino end Hotel. Lucky
24:56
Speaker 1: Eagle Casino and Hotel our brand new sponsor where every
25:00
Speaker 1: Day Feels Lucky. They're also providing a ten thousand dollars
25:04
Speaker 1: jackpot as well for the winner of Factor Fiction in
25:07
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So go ahead to lock to everyone again.
25:11
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Penn State finally breaking this losing streak,
25:15
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do it angrily against the Michigan State Spartans.
25:19
Speaker 1: They're gonna cover that seven and a half, which means
25:21
Speaker 1: they have to win by eight points or more in
25:24
Speaker 1: order for me to be right. Text fact, if you
25:26
Speaker 1: agree at four, nine, four or five to one fiction.
25:28
Speaker 1: If you disagree, your next chance to play comes at
25:30
Speaker 1: eleven thirty five this morning, with Mark James and Christopher
25:34
Speaker 1: Kidd coming up next on the program. A little more
25:37
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks and Rams. I know something that'll really
25:40
Speaker 1: spice up this rivalry. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
25:44
Speaker 1: The most important roundtable of our lives is coming your
25:47
Speaker 1: way at eight o'clock. Yes, those two guys are gonna
25:50
Speaker 1: join us to talk about the Seahawks and Rams. I'm
25:52
Speaker 1: sure we've had a bigger, more impactful playoff roundtable in
25:56
Speaker 1: the past with these guys. But I'm a p prisoner
26:00
Speaker 1: of the moment. Okay, this feels like the most important
26:02
Speaker 1: thing right now.
26:03
Speaker 6: Okay, right now, all right, But because you made me
26:06
Speaker 6: more nervous than normal, I get really nervous talking to
26:09
Speaker 6: these two. And then when you throw that on top
26:12
Speaker 6: of it, Yeah, I'm like what.
26:13
Speaker 1: I'm sure we did a playoff round table at one point,
26:18
Speaker 1: but it does right now. All that matters is the Rams.
26:22
Speaker 1: That's just how I operate. Oh yeah, good for you.
26:24
Speaker 8: Yeah.
26:25
Speaker 1: I don't think about things in the past. No, past
26:27
Speaker 1: can't change it. That's right. It's just whatever is in
26:29
Speaker 1: front of me, and I just put everything into it.
26:32
Speaker 1: Good for you, so good, what a great mind. So Greg, Hugh.
26:37
Speaker 1: I think they feel the same way. I think Hugh
26:40
Speaker 1: was just chewing on glass this morning, getting ready for
26:43
Speaker 1: his his analysis today, Greg Bell breaking through walls. You know,
26:47
Speaker 1: Greg is Yeah, so not calm at all. Cold, not
26:51
Speaker 1: a head cold could keep that guy down. So eight
26:54
Speaker 1: to nine, we'll have them join us to talk Seahawks
26:56
Speaker 1: Rams for one entire hour, all right, in the meantime,
27:01
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, we're getting ready to this game. This
27:04
Speaker 1: has been on my mind a little bit, and I
27:07
Speaker 1: don't even know. I mean, I've been looking it up,
27:09
Speaker 1: and you find different information everywhere. But for whatever reason,
27:13
Speaker 1: I don't know why this is happening everywhere I look,
27:17
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald keeps popping up. Oh, and Aaron Donald looks
27:23
Speaker 1: as good physically as he ever has in his entire life.
27:29
Speaker 1: Like he looks like he could put on a uniform
27:32
Speaker 1: and be a pro bowler Sunday if he wanted to.
27:38
Speaker 1: That's how good he looks. I mean, he retired very
27:42
Speaker 1: early after years of dominating this Sea Hawks. You want
27:48
Speaker 1: to shake up the rivalry. I think he has been
27:52
Speaker 1: retired longer than his contract with the Rams. Let's go
27:58
Speaker 1: get him. Yeah, my kid, try to kidnap him. Let's
28:07
Speaker 1: go sign him. Let's go make an offer he can't refuse.
28:10
Speaker 1: Let's go get Aaron Donald. Let's shake up this rivalry.
28:13
Speaker 1: And I mean, like before.
28:15
Speaker 5: Sunday, let's watch him wreck their crap.
28:18
Speaker 1: Now that's silly. I mean obviously can't, but but honestly,
28:22
Speaker 1: like he I know, he keeps saying over and over
28:25
Speaker 1: and over he's not going to play again. Why is
28:27
Speaker 1: he working out so damn hard? Why is he suddenly
28:30
Speaker 1: going to football games? Why is he suddenly going on
28:33
Speaker 1: ANFL podcast? Maybe he's got the itch to play again.
28:38
Speaker 1: And I think, and I don't know this for a fact,
28:41
Speaker 1: there's various things, different reports about how these contracts work.
28:46
Speaker 1: But I think once he's been retired longer than his
28:49
Speaker 1: contract was with the team he left, he he is
28:53
Speaker 1: a free agent and he can sign with any team
28:56
Speaker 1: now maybe not, maybe only the Rams he could come
29:00
Speaker 1: back to. And my guess is that he probably would
29:03
Speaker 1: if he did come back from retirement. I don't think
29:05
Speaker 1: he left on bad terms with the Rams. I think
29:07
Speaker 1: he still lives in Los Angeles. He'd probably suit up
29:10
Speaker 1: for the Rams. So I don't want to put any
29:12
Speaker 1: thoughts in his head because I don't want him suiting
29:13
Speaker 1: up for the Rams this year. But this is somebody
29:17
Speaker 1: that I'm telling you within two weeks is playing Pro
29:20
Speaker 1: Bowl caliber defensive line. So let's go get him. Let's
29:24
Speaker 1: really pull a fast one on the old Rams. Let's
29:27
Speaker 1: shake up this rivalry. Come on, John, you got a
29:30
Speaker 1: silver tongue. Come on, Mike McDonald, you got the best
29:33
Speaker 1: defensive mind and all of football. Imagine what Aaron, what
29:37
Speaker 1: you could convince you could do with Aaron Donald. Come on, Seattle,
29:41
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's all join together and sing a
29:46
Speaker 1: song at the holiday time to make a miracle happen.
29:50
Speaker 1: Let's hat Aaron Donald suit up for the Seahawks before
29:53
Speaker 1: the season comes to it.
29:55
Speaker 7: You say, everybody, shake it up.
30:00
Speaker 5: And he is a free agent as of twenty twenty four.
30:03
Speaker 1: Well, I read that too, but I've also read that
30:06
Speaker 1: the I don't know. You might be right, you might
30:09
Speaker 1: be wrong.
30:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've read different things this morning.
30:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I don't know what the contract thing. I
30:15
Speaker 6: don't know if that would matter. My first wrestlers And
30:18
Speaker 6: he came back like with a mask on Andre the Giant.
30:22
Speaker 1: Basically and came to the seat of the Rams anyway,
30:25
Speaker 1: he wrote to us. But he wore like a mask
30:28
Speaker 1: or like hul Cogan did he just you know, you know,
30:31
Speaker 1: died his goatee, you know, came back as a different wrestler,
30:36
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah.
30:37
Speaker 4: Just he could do that.
30:38
Speaker 6: I mean I suppose, I think, because boy, that would
30:42
Speaker 6: shake it up.
30:43
Speaker 1: That would be unbelievable. I think that really good at
30:46
Speaker 1: this point.
30:47
Speaker 7: Ye.
30:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it would be really very bright on
30:51
Speaker 6: his part, and I think he is pretty bright to
30:53
Speaker 6: just be like, yeah, I kind of wanted to step away,
30:56
Speaker 6: just take care of my body, and now I just
30:58
Speaker 6: like he's a different Honestly.
31:00
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan stepped away twice. Michael Jordan stepped away twice
31:04
Speaker 1: and was so desperate to get back to the competitive
31:08
Speaker 1: spirit that he played for the Wizards for goodness sake.
31:10
Speaker 5: Yeah.
31:11
Speaker 1: I mean, boxers retire thirteen times because they think they're
31:14
Speaker 1: ready and then all of a sudden one day they're like,
31:16
Speaker 1: I can't replace the high of playing, of fighting somebody
31:21
Speaker 1: or playing football or whatever the case. Plenty of people
31:23
Speaker 1: have come out of retirement that are a lot worse
31:26
Speaker 1: shape than Aaron Donald looks like right now, he looks
31:29
Speaker 1: like he's preparing to play football.
31:31
Speaker 4: Mm.
31:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's he's a lot closer to it than
31:34
Speaker 1: most people. Right after the retire half the football players
31:37
Speaker 1: like shrink. They just turn in like what you were
31:39
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman? You're not even You're like a shadow
31:42
Speaker 1: of yourself. I think he'd probably would be like, yeah,
31:45
Speaker 1: I'll come back and be a Ram again. And so
31:48
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you like putting this out
31:49
Speaker 1: in the universe.
31:50
Speaker 7: Here's the thing is that he has repeatedly said his
31:53
Speaker 7: passion for the game is gone. So I blame the
31:55
Speaker 7: Rams for that. So if I'm him, I'm not going
31:57
Speaker 7: to go sign with the team that made me lose
31:59
Speaker 7: my pass for the game. I need to play for
32:01
Speaker 7: a new team and then kindle that phenomenal point.
32:05
Speaker 1: I think he lost his passion because it was like
32:07
Speaker 1: too easy.
32:08
Speaker 5: No, I think it was.
32:10
Speaker 7: Crap every single years, think of wrecking the same people's crap.
32:14
Speaker 7: I got to turn it around and wreck the Rams crap.
32:16
Speaker 7: That'll be the full circle.
32:17
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm going to take this further. Ashley
32:20
Speaker 1: has inspired me. We're going to sign Aaron Donald. As
32:22
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, play the breaking news. It's just
32:26
Speaker 1: play the breaking news audio areas. I got news just
32:31
Speaker 1: this and not kJ R is ready to announce that.
32:34
Speaker 1: I don't know when or how or what's going to happen,
32:37
Speaker 1: but it is unofficially official. Aaron Donald is a Seahawks,
32:42
Speaker 1: very unofficially.
32:44
Speaker 5: Let's focus on the unofficially.
32:46
Speaker 1: Unofficially unofficial leads signing with the Seahawks right as we speak.
32:51
Speaker 5: It makes, oh boy, a very little amount of sense.
32:54
Speaker 1: I think he's going to help our defense.
32:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes a ton of sense if you're a Seahawks.
32:59
Speaker 6: Face makes no sense for any other person involved.
33:03
Speaker 5: I love it, though, Let's do it.
33:04
Speaker 1: I can't believe we got Aaron Donald today.
33:06
Speaker 5: I can't believe this is just happening right now as
33:08
Speaker 5: we speak.
33:08
Speaker 1: Can't believe he's a Seahawk. This is awesome. I'm getting
33:11
Speaker 1: a Jersey top Man roundtable next on kJ RT
