• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I am legitimately, I will admit this, I will confess this, uh,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: dressed like a 12 year old getting ready to go
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: outside to play on a Saturday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Um, And if I didn't know that already, because I am,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: as soon as we're done, I'm planning on going out
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: and playing in the, you know, outside after the show
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: is over today. And that is why I am dressed
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: this way. But it got pointed out. Like, a co-worker
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: pointed it out. Like, that is unacceptable.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Was it Strauss?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: No, no. They think I'd care about that. No, it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was a female.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Shots fired yeah.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Because i admitted i'm like i just like admitted like
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: i realize i'm dressed like a 12 year old getting
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: ready to go outside and play yeah and she goes
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: i wanted to tell.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: You about that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: She's and her rule uh is that if you um
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: would sleep in it you can't.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Wear it to work well i like that rule actually
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: it's good that's good rule That's a good rule.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: If it's comfortable enough to sleep in, don't wear it
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: to work.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's fair.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: We are much more casual here in the West Coast,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Pacific Northwest.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's also sports talk radio.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Radio.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Even though we're on YouTube now.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. And if you thought that was going
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to change the way we dress.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I do wear a jersey every Friday, though.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Until like two years ago, I'd never worn shorts to work.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: Ever.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Ever. Ever.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: Ever.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: But I broke that rule a couple of years ago
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I think it was Bucky's influence because he was on
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: a 13 degree day on a 13 degree day he's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: in here in shorts and flip flops so I'm like
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: you know what he looks pretty comfortable over there I
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: mean it's not like I'm going to get fired if
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I the first time they might warn me stop wearing
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: shorts to work it's not like I'm going to get
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: fired so I started doing it and now every once
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: in a while I do it but yeah there's a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: method to my madness but you're right you're.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Right Good tip. Good to get called out today here
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: at KJR. All right, let's get things going. It's our Ocho.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It's our eight top stories of the day here on
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a Friday.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: The biggest story, of course, Seahawks hosting the undefeated Kansas
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: City Chiefs on Sunday night football. And, of course, this
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: game marks the return of Ken Walker to Seattle. It
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: has been Ken Walker week. It's pretty much.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The biggest topic today.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That we've discussed by a long shot. Not pretty much,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: by a long shot. But the game also features Patrick Mahomes,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: by the way. As the Chiefs have gotten off to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: this 5-0 start, the Hawks are trying to keep from
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: falling below. 500 with a loss. Greg Bell was with
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: us an hour ago, and of course on Fridays he
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: always gives us his key to the game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: The key to the game is stopping Walker. So it
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: just happens to be that he played for them last year.
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: McDonald just so happens to be very good at stopping
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: run games. There hasn't been a 100-yard rusher since his
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: very first season here 35 games ago, as we know.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: James Cook, Buffalo Bills. This isn't out of the ordinary
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: for him. Going to the game with a game plan
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: to stop the run, make teams go into third and
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: long so they can do their tricks on defense and
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: put Eamon Warrior all over the place and put Witherspoon
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: in at nickel and bring blitzes. This is the game plan.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: This is always the game plan.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said 75 yards, the over-under for Walker. Greg
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: took the under. What do you take?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I think I take the over, but I don't think
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: he hits 100. I think he gets like the 80
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: to 90 range. Kid, you got to go over.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You're going over? I think he is going to go under.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to make it a point. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be the folks. Like I said.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: At 645, I think you've got to take something away,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and I think that's what Mike's going to try to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: take away.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And they don't give up 100-yard rushes.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: They do not.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Rushers ever. 35 games in a row without doing that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: So I think that's what he's going to choose to
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: take away and then live with Patrick Mahomes trying to
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: beat him, which Kansas City Chiefs fans would sign up
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: for that all day long.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But I think that's going to be.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the approach i think they are going to bottle up
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: ken walker and and as much as it's like not
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a personal thing and this is not about us proving
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: that we were right to walk away from ken walker
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: i i know that i know that from the seahawks
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: perspective i believe that this game's not about us proving
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: to our fan base or to national analysts that we
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: made a mistake getting rid of ken walker Don't tell
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: me it's not in there somewhere.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Adds to it for sure.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me that you wouldn't like to silence that
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: narrative a little bit by bottling up Walker, obviously winning
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the football game. Because if it's the other way around,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: then it's a runaway truck. Then it's the conversation for
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You let go of Ken Walker, please admit that you've
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: made a mistake with your philosophy about paying running backs.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: That's what it's going to turn into. But if they
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: bottle him up, at least knocks it down a notch.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It cools it off.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: A little bit. Mike McDonald has some pride, right? He
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: knows what everyone's been talking about, and I'm sure... He
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: probably had a little bit, at least a little bit
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: of say in the decision to not pay Ken Walker.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe not the final say, but he was probably in
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: contact with John Schneider about this. So he's going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: want to prove that I still know what I'm doing here, guys.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Well, Mike's the one that kept benching him last year
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to get in the running back who will run the play.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, yeah, you better believe that he had a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: say in all of that.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Right guard Anthony Bradford is good to go for Sunday.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: So you got the offensive line intact again. Running back
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Zach Charbonnet is now active. So he will play a
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: role on Sunday. How big of a role? We don't know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I think Greg's right. Probably in the.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: He said 6-8. So I'm going to do another over-under.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: If I made it 7... I think he's right. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: if I were to bet, I'd go over.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I think that NFL teams, once a guy is healthy
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: at the running back position... I don't think they hold back.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: If they determine he's healthy and ready to go and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: he's being effective on the football field, I don't think
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: they're going to soft play him. I say the same
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: thing about Josh Jacobs in Green Bay. If he's being
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: effective and they're like, how you feeling? I mean, they'll
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: check on him.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: How you feeling?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to keep giving him their ball.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So I think it's probably right. I think it's smart
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to say like seven touches. But if I were to bet,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: if that's the over-under, I'd go over. Yeah, I think
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: it has a lot to do with... A, how he's feeling, B,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: how effective he is, right? They're not just going to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: keep rolling him out there if he's getting two yards
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: of carry at this point. But if he is effective
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and he's feeling good, I think they continue to kind
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: of ride it, especially in a big game like this one.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're... Once they determine he's good to go,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they soft play this sort of stuff.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not just like holding him back just to
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: be precautionary. Right, right, right. I know what you mean.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Sunday night football 5-15 kickoff from Lumen Field. The game
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: will be on NBC. Mike Tirico, Chris Collinsworth on the call.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Last night it was Al Michaels. It was Kirk Herbstreet.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: It was Prime Video. It was Thursday night football. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the Bears and Patriots gave us a pretty good show.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's caught. Breaking a tackle.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Trying to get to the end zone is Loveland.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Does fantasy football luck average out, do you think, over
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: the course of the year?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Because I didn't have any for four weeks, and I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was old. Now you're starting to feel it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I had Drake May and Colston Loveland. I mean,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I got two touchdowns that I never get in fantasy
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: football where Drake May barely gets the nose, or it
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: didn't even look like he'd.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Scored, but I got credit for that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: How about the end of the half where he just
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: dumps it off to Romandre Stevenson and goes for 50 yards?
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Am I now getting a bunch of good luck to
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: make up for all of my bad luck? Because I
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: felt like the fantasy football gods were shining on my ass. Well,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: as someone who got a lot of good luck early
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: in the season, it's... definitely starting to turn.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe it does average out i don't.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Know uh the bears hold the patriots to 70 yards
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: rushing and cairo santos nailed a 58 yard field goal
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: late to push chicago to a two score lead the
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: patriots did score again doing that whole let's just take
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the field goal thing um I don't like that either.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: But they couldn't win or cover. Chicago takes it 30-24,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the final score in the game last night.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I don't like that either. I think you take the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you need two scores, the touchdown's going
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to be more difficult.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: You've got a much better chance of your kicker kicking
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a 65-yard field goal than you do completing a Hail
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Mary touchdown pass.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: And if you're going to do the field goal first,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: then touchdown, save as much time as you can for
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: the touchdown. Like I remember in the Chargers game, remember
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: when Jim Harbaugh kicked the field goal on first down?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That was the only time I actually agreed with that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, right.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: It was like, all right, let's get it done with
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: as quickly as possible.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He did it before the two-minute warning so that he
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: had an extra timeout.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: But there wasn't any time left, and you had zero timeouts.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Plus, we wanted to cover for fact or fiction.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: That's the main reason. Let's be completely honest here.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: NFL week number seven will start at 6.30 on Sunday
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: from France.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It will be the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Your best... Late morning game will be Cincinnati at Baltimore. by...
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It's a good game. By my feelings. Yeah, that's a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: really good game.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: The best afternoon game will be Green Bay at Detroit,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: and of course, Sunday Night Football here in Seattle against
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs. A couple injury updates, very important to you
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: as you're filling out that fantasy football starting lineup. Baker
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Mayfield is expected to play. I think this is a
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: week earlier than anyone thought he was going to play
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: after dislocating his thumb on his throwing hand.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: But he's expected to play.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley practiced fully yesterday, so it looks like he's
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: good to play.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: With that hamstring injury.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And Puka Nakua left practice Thursday with a calf injury,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: so I haven't gotten an update today. Maybe they've provided one,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: but obviously those are people that could come into your
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: fantasy football plans this weekend.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: College football, the Huskies are going to be on by.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: So the next time they will play will be next
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Who will start at quarterback? Will
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: it be DeMond Williams Jr., who is injured and has
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: been outplayed by Elijah Brown?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Or will it be Brown? I asked Coach.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Neuheisel who should start the next time the Huskies play.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: It's got to be Elijah Brown. He's 21 of 27.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I know there were three interceptions, but some of those
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: could be because he's throwing it on time and receiver
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: misread what the coverage is. All I know, 21 of 27.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: What was the other night?
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: 28 of 39. And the ball comes out. He doesn't
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: get sacked. And Jed Fish is a West Coast.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Offense, you know, principal.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: All these NFL pass concepts that require timing. I don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: know how you take that guy out.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Everybody I've heard talk about this has said pretty much
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the same thing.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It's got to be Elijah Brown. And yet there's something
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: in me, Anders.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: They're not going to do it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I think Jed Fish might start DeMond Williams Jr. I
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: just think he's connected to him. I think they're just
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: connected at the hip. And I think it's like. They're like,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Thelma and Louise, if we're going to fly or if
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: we're going to go down swinging, let's ride off the
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: cliff together. There's something about that relationship between Fish and
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Williams that I think maybe Jed goes with DeMond, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: that might be.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Me just trying to be too clever.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Well, he might see the bye week as the perfect
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: time to be like, all right, hey, let's figure out
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: what's going on here.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: You saw now... a week and a half game and
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: a half of what Elijah Brown did and what made
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: him successful to Mond. Now let's try and figure out
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: a way for you to get that to work.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: That would suck if you're in the quarterback room and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: you're the backup. You feel like you've outplayed the starter.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's right, by the way.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Do this. Do what Elijah's doing. You're going to start,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: but do what Elijah's doing. See how Elijah does this?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: This is much better quarterback play than what you've been showing.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So do this. Can you do this by next week?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: And Brown's like, why not just play me? Rather than
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: teach him how to play like me. Yeah, I mean,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and there's a lot of factors. There's obviously the money
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you're paying DeMond versus the money you're paying Brown. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: think you're right. They do have a relationship where they
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: are connected at the hip. And there's a kind of
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: a feeling in Husky land where it's like, if we're
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: going to do anything this season, I think it feels
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: like it has to be from DeMond Williams. But you
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: want to play the guy that's playing better, period. He's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: going to give you the best chance to win. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: think the feeling from Husky land is pretty loud and clear.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: They want Brown.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I mean like within the team. Like, within
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: the organization, I guess I should say. Not fans-wise. But, yes,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I would play Brown. I'm not saying that any of
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: those thought processes are correct. I would play Elijah Brown.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: All right, two top 25 matchups in college football on Saturday. Seven,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss at number 19, Texas. Number 14, Houston at
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: number 10, Utah. And number 21, Boise State will be
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: in Pullman to take on the Cougs. That'll be tomorrow,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: 3 o'clock kickoff there. in eastern Washington. All right, Kraken
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: in action last night, and they pulled off a mammoth
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: win against the Mammoth.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Now Seattle breaks it up the right side. McMahon shoots.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: That one through the pads of the Melka. Goes off
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the side of the goal. McMahon again. Backdoor. Scores!
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: Mackie Samostevich! Goes toward the goal, crashing the net. He'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: finish the play. And the Kraken regain their lead. It's
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: a 4-3 edge with 5.25 left in regulation.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Everett Fitzhugh with another great call last night right here
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: on your flagship sports radio, 93.3 KJR FM. Mackie Sammy Samaskevich,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: as Ashley calls him, breaks a 3-3 tie with five minutes,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: 25 seconds to play in regulation last night at Climate
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Pledge Arena. Freddie Goudreau added an empty netter for his
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: team high sixth goal of the year. Seattle wins 5-3
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: over the Mammoth, cracking her off to their best start
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: in franchise history at 7-3-1. And that was their best
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: win of the year, correct?
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels real. It feels real with this team.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: They're doing all the right things. Hopefully they can continue.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I think you should pick up Gaudreau, kid. Aren't I next? Yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: but he can force you to take him or not.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: That's a good point.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: So can Dennis. Our contestant as well. So if Kidd says,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I'm going to claim Goudreau, you have waiver rights.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Right of refusal.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he could take him right now. Our leading
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: goal scorer. Six goals through 11 games.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Just saying. I didn't know if you guys understood the rules.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Only downside is that the team blew a multiple goal
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: lead in the third period for a second consecutive game,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: only to end up with the max four points.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You worried about that at all? Like, this team doesn't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: know how to finish?
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: No.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Anything like that?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's more that they're getting off to such
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: good starts that they don't have to play their full
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: brand of hockey in the third period.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: They feel like they can play. kind of ease off
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: the gas pedal a little bit. Not saying that's the
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: right decision, but I would take more from how well
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: they're starting versus how poorly they're finishing.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Kraken hosts the Minnesota Wild tomorrow at 7 o'clock right
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: here on KJR. Item number five on your road show,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Stephen Vogt spoke yesterday about the rumors connecting him to
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Mariners. Anthony Kastrovitz from MLB.com had said, don't
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: be surprised if Vogt doesn't end up being the Mariners'
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: next manager tomorrow. And the biggest reason was because his
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: family lives in Seattle and he'd like to be around
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: his family year round. Well, Vote addressed those rumors yesterday
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: at a Cleveland press conference.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: You've gotten more phone calls than I have. I have
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: not heard a word about it. And I'm under contract
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: here and I love Cleveland. I would love to be
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: close to my family if I'm being honest. I miss
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: them every day. It's the hardest part of this job.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: But I'm committed to being here in Cleveland and I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: hope I'm here for a long time.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: All right. People are kind of saying this is like
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: a slam dunk comment that Stephen Vogt has shot down
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the Mariners.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure I heard it that way. I did
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: not hear it that way. Yeah, and we'll have more time.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: We're going to discuss it at 830.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: But just here are the things that we're going to
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: discuss at 830. Why haven't the Mariners reached out? Is
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: there a chance they have? And he just doesn't know
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: about it. If that's the case, reach out.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, please. Yeah, if you haven't, reach out.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: And then I'm not sure he slammed the door on
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: being the Mariners' manager. It sounded more to me like
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: he was saying, I wish they would reach out. But
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: they haven't reached out. As far as I know, they
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: haven't reached out. Yeah. We'll talk about it at 8.30.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: We'll have plenty of time to discuss it. Meanwhile, World
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Series Game 1 is tonight.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Baxter, is that you?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Baxter, bark twice if you're in Milwaukee. He's in Milwaukee, Ron.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: He's in Milwaukee.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Baxter?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Nick Martinez is getting the Game 1 start for the
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Rays, and the Miz will get the start
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: for the Milwaukee Brewers. And he has not been very
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: good in the playoffs. He was expected to sort of dominate.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: So here are the Brewers. They've breezed to the World
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Series without... Possibly the best pitcher in the world, not
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: pitching well.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: What does that say about them? That they're a really
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: good team, Chuck Powell. That they have a really good
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: chance to win their first World Series in franchise history.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: It's going to be great.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Great series.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I honestly am very much looking forward to this. I mean,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the sting of the Mariners, I felt, could have been
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: here at the beginning of the year. It's kind of,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's still there, but... As a baseball fan,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: this is a great matchup. This is going to be
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: a great World Series. First pitch is at 5 p.m. Meanwhile,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the WNBA Finals, the Atlanta Dream are up 2-1. They
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: could go up 3-1 with a victory tomorrow.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: It's up to you, Angel.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I have to let the song... breathe.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, the Atlanta Dream can't clinch tomorrow. The people that
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: have said that on these airwaves should be ashamed of themselves.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I really thought they could. I thought it was a
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: five-game series. It's a seven-game series. So Atlanta can go
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: up 3-1 tomorrow, but they're starting the game at 10
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: 10 a.m.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Saturday start for a WN for a finals matchup. But
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: they cannot win the championship tomorrow. So sorry that I
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: misled all of you earlier. I'm sure I sent panic
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: through your spines.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Finally, Sounders in action. They'll be in San Diego.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Ron Burgundy, Whale's Vagina will host the Sounders
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night at 7.30. So we're excited about that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: What?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's something I've never heard.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You've never heard that?
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: No.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You've never watched Anchorman? I have. Oh my gosh.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: But it's been a while. It's amazing, the references. There's
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: so many jokes in there that they kind of get lost.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah. All right.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, Stephen Vogt.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I said we're going to talk a little more about
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: that comment, which many people heard as a, no, I
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: am not leaving Cleveland. And I guess Anders and I
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: didn't hear the same thing you heard. Sports Radio 93.3
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: KJR FM.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Now back to.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: The Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday with Chuck in
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the Morning on your home for the NFL.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Hey, you got a Friday?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Why not take a drive this afternoon up to Tulalip
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Resort Casino?

• 21:05
  Speaker 3: wonderful fall afternoon.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Get in the spirit of things. And then, hey, if
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you decide I'm.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Having such a good time, stay the night at one
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: of their terrific hotels. I mean, Andrews just went there
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Excellent.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: With his bride and child. And Austin gave it five stars. Yes.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: It's been excellent. The service is fantastic. I can play
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: any type of game I want in the casino floor.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: He gave it a five. So it convinced me.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: But you can head on up there and yeah, just
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: make a night of it. And if it turns into
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: a Saturday morning, all the better. Tulalip Resort Casino, more
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: of everything. All right, let's get into this Stephen Vogt comment.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: So two days ago, we led the show with... Actually,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: it was yesterday's show. Yesterday's show, we led the show
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: with something that was reported two days ago. And that
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: was Anthony Kastrovitz from MLB.com, who's always starting these rumors.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure how great of a reporter he is,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: to be quite honest. But anyway, he said, don't rule
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: out Stephen Vogt to the Mariners, in essence. because, vote,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: his family lives in Washington, and he'd like to be
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: closer to his family. He has connection to the organization.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: They obviously got his coaching career started. The Mariners got
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: his coaching career started. They obviously saw him as a talent,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: a coaching talent, once upon a time. May have been
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the first franchise to recognize that. But what they got
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: caught flat-footed on was that someone else was ready to
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: make him their manager. Somebody else said, hey, you like
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Steven Vogt. We love Steven Vogt. So we're going to
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: give him the big job in Cleveland. And he's been terrific.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: He's won back-to-back Manager of the Year awards and this
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: year went all the way to the American League Championship
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Series before getting knocked out. So I think this is
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: one of the top three managers in baseball right now.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: But he is under contract with Cleveland. uh... and so
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: you would have to trade in order to get steven
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: vote to seattle uh... well vote decided yesterday at a
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: press conference to address these rumors he was asked about
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: them and he'd he addressed them head-on and a lot
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: of people have viewed this comment as he just slammed
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the door on the mariners i didn't see it that
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: way and just found out this morning that anders didn't
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: hear it that way either I'll let you be the judge.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Let's take a listen again.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: You've gotten more phone calls than I have. I have
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: not heard a word about it, and I'm under contract here,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and I love Cleveland. I would love to be close
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to my family, if I'm being honest. I miss them
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: every day. It's the hardest part of this job. But
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I'm committed to being here in Cleveland, and I hope
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I'm here for a long time.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Those were the comments. Here's what I believe.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I believe he does love being in Cleveland, and I
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: believe that, yeah, there's a scenario where I'm here for a.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Long, long time. But I heard in there, would I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: love to be in my family? Yes.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: It's the hardest part of this job.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It's the hardest part of this job. Okay. Okay.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And the other thing that I heard is I haven't
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: heard from them. So if you did hear from them
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and you wanted to be around your family and they
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: made you an offer and they pulled off a trade, is.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: That something you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Because I do believe that if you stay in Cleveland,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: you're going to be happy in Cleveland. And right now
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: you have the mindset of, nobody's talked to me about
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: any other job than this one, and I'm happy where
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I am. I think that is the truth. But is
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: there room there for two truths that he's also saying
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: in that same clip? I haven't heard from them. I
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: wish I'd hear from them. Because I'd really love to
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: be near my family. Because it's really hard being away
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: from them. And we're not moving out of Seattle, it
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: sounds like. That's what I heard. You heard that too.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Yes. The kind of reading between the lines that I
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: got was, hey, I'm preparing as if I'm the Cleveland
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Guardians manager. And I like being the Cleveland Guardians manager.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I've had success here. I enjoy my time here. If
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: nothing else changes, I'm not going to be upset. Not
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: like I'm asking to leave or anything like that. I
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: will be happy to be that if that is what
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: ends up happening. Totally cool with that. But I kind
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: of want the Mariners to call me because I miss
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: my family.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: And I liked the team that they have. Yes.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: But I mean, just from what I heard and what
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: he said, that's kind of what I gathered.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right. Okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Right.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But looking further into it, like there is a chance.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he hasn't heard.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Maybe the Mariners are being respectful about this and they've
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: got to be careful with they contact him immediately. They
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: contact him directly. They've got, they would have to work
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: out a trade. And if they contact him directly, that
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: could ruin the whole thing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: So he's saying, I haven't heard from them. There could
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: be a very good chance that they have contacted Cleveland.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: And Cleveland doesn't want you.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: To know either. There's a chance that.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Correct me if i'm wrong is there a chance that
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: that actually has occurred don't you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Think absolutely i don't i don't know exactly like it
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: this is again so unprecedented it doesn't happen very much
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: the manager trades well it's.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Not unprecedented but it doesn't happen a lot it hasn't
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: happened in a long time and i don't really know
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: how to assess his trade value in the modern game
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: i really don't all i'm saying is him saying i
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: haven't heard from them Well, there's probably a great reason
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: why you haven't, because if they contacted you directly, it
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: would be in violation.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Of the trade negotiations or whatever.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And if they have to come to an agreement with
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the guardians potentially, maybe we're not to that point where
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the guardians are letting you know, hey, is this something
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: that you're interested in? We don't want, they want you.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: We don't want somebody that doesn't want to be here.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: And we'll have to work out a trade if that's
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: the case. I'm not saying that's happening.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm saying.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: There's a very good chance that even if the Mariners
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: have reached out to them, that you wouldn't know that yet.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Right? Right. Right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: And what he said, and 2-5-3 points this out, it's
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: a great point. Boat doesn't use the term, I'm under contract,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: if he's fully committed there, right? He says, I'm the
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Cleveland manager, that qualifier speaks volumes. Who in their, like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: when everyone's asked about player-wise, manager-wise, whatever, I'm under contract
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: with this team. Like, when have you heard that and
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: been fully convinced that that player or manager is like...
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: just all in on that team. That's more of just saying, Hey, that's,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: that's who I'm contracted to right now. Who knows what
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: happens after that?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I hear five college football coaches a week say that
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: they're committed to their program. And you know, the off
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: season they're gone for something else.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, if he does miss his family and wants
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: to be near his family, I think the Mariners should
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: reach out. But if I were reaching out to Steven Vogt,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do it through the proper channels because
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I still have to work out a deal with Cleveland.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to skip any of the steps.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to try to meet him in the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: back of an Applebee's and share some.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Cat ribs and discuss... Would you want to come? I'm
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: not going to be subversive.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go through the proper channels because I
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: got to work out a deal with you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I got to work out a deal with them.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: And I got to work out a deal. I got
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: to get the permission from my boss on... how far
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: we can go to get you. So all of that,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I'd be going through the proper channel. Now, all that said,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know if the Mariners have reached out.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe in their minds.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: We're not going to trade players for a manager. Maybe
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: that's the way they feel. I mean, they're very protective
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: of their assets. Maybe they wouldn't even dream of it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: He's under contract. We're not an operation that trades players
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: for managers. We'll find a good manager. But they've been
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: so bad.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Service was okay. They've been.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: They're coming off such a bad managerial experience this past year.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: that if they're not reaching out and seeing what the
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: score is, then they've made, I think, a terrible mistake,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: especially with someone who they have a connection with, who
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: has a connection beyond baseball to this city with.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Right, and where there's smoke, there's fire, right? No matter
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: what you think about the rumors guy that put this
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: out originally, it was big enough to the point where
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: you asked Stephen Vogt about it in his end-of-season press conference, right?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: And that means.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: And Guardians people were writing.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Articles about what would we want in return. Yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: And I don't know exactly how this stuff works. Maybe
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: you could enlighten me on this. Do they have to
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: come to an agreement on the package before they even
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: talk to Steven Vogt? Or would the Mariners, because I
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: know this happens in soccer a lot, when you could
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: go to Steven Vogt first and be like, hey, let's
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: figure out the personal side first, the contract and all
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: that stuff. And then we figure out the package later.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know how that works.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're not going to start doing trades if
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Stephen Vogt's not interested. But you probably would go to
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: them and you would say, hey, we're interested. Is there
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: any way that we could talk to Stephen to see
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: if he's interested in us? And then maybe there's a
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: deal that we could work out. If you're going through
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: the proper channels, you would definitely have to go through
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Cleveland first. And then how Cleveland wanted to proceed with it,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: whether they wanted to, like, hey, what They might say,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: we're not interested in a trade. They might be playing
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: that hardball. And so, again, you can't go around them.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: You can't subvert the Guardian's role in all of this.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: So you kind of have to just respect that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: That's the first line of defense you have to cross.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And then they might eventually have a conversation with Stephen like,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: we have heard from the Mariners.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: They are interested. We might work out a deal. Where's
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: your head at? Do you want to be here? Because
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: we have a contract extension waiting for you. Because if
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you're going to.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Keep him, if you're that ironclad about keeping him, I
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: would think it's time for a contract extension to lock
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: him up long term. And then you'll find out just
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: how badly he wants to be there.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Because there are going to be other teams, not just
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the Mariners, that are interested. And I would also say
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: to all of those, like, why would he come here?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I get You're very sour on the entire operation. I
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: get you don't trust me because the team was bad
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and I told you they were going to be good.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But don't listen to me.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Listen to every national analyst out there, every manager, general manager.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Teams want to manage. Guys want to manage this team.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: They believe in the roster and this organization.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? The Atlanta Braves got to the playoffs.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: They had one starting pitcher. We had seven.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: We had to get rid of one, and we had
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: to piggyback another one because of our starting pitching depth. Plus,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: the nucleus of young players that the Mariners have that
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: they get to build around for the next wave beyond
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: winning right now.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Trust me. Managers would like to manage this team.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: It's a desirable job.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Does Jerry DePoto have the greatest reputation out there?
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: No.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe not every manager would want to work for Jerry DePoto.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: That's a concern. But in terms of.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: If he wants to live here and he wants to
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: be around his family and he has a roster here
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that he knows because he was a coach here, he's
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: not going to not take the job because he doesn't
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: think the Mariners are ready to win. They all recognize
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: that the Mariners should be winning right now.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Everybody in baseball recognizes that the Mariners should be winning
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: And if you're a manager worth his salt, then you
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: should believe in your ability to take that team over
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: the top.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. All right, coming up next, Big Ten Preview,
• 33:43

  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: That's when I was watching back in the day. Oh,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: back in the day? Yes. I wasn't here. I wasn't
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: here for your high school time.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Back in the day.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I can say that now. You can say that. You're
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: free to say that.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: It's brought to you by The Final Score TV on
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM and on our iHeart app.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen is going to join us at the top
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: of the hour.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: X's and O's with Hugh today as we get you
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: ready for Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: But we're also going to get you ready for a
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: college football Big Ten weekend, even though UW is not
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: in action. Six teams on by this week, as a
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: matter of fact. UW, Maryland, Penn State, Purdue, Nebraska, and
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Ohio State are all off this week. And so here
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: is your schedule for the weekend at 9 a.m.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: It'll be Indiana at Michigan. Bryce Underwood's been benched for Michigan.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: They're going with the other car, C.J. Carr's brother, Lloyd
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Carr's just got grandkids all over the country playing football
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: right now. Indiana at Michigan, 9 a.m. kickoff on Fox
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. Also a 9 a.m. kickoff between Rutgers and Northwestern.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Be interesting to see how high scoring that might be.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Rutgers defense has got to be one of the worst
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: in the nation. Northwestern, when they face a bad defense,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: can really run it up. And yet Rutgers offense hasn't
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: really been stopped by anybody this year. They have maybe
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the best wide receiver, not named Jeremiah Smith in the country,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: in KJ Duff. Oregon's going to be at Illinois. Dante
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Moore is not going to play. He's been ruled out
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: for another week. Illinois' starting quarterback is also not going
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: to play because of an injury. They're going to be
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: going with a freshman starting quarterback at noon tomorrow. UCLA
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: trying to stay undefeated. Should have no problem with that
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: against Michigan State, who's just not very good. Sparty at UCLA,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: 1230 kickoff. Number 15 ranked. Iowa's going to be at Minnesota.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: That's a sneaky good rivalry there between those two programs.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: That'll kick off at 1230. And then the 430 game,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: USC ranked 16th in the country, will be in Madison
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: to take on the Wisconsin Badgers. And so There's your
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: light six-game schedule this weekend in the Big Ten.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to be a very important week for
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: a lot of these programs to kind of make or
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: break for a lot of these. And I do have
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: my pickup, if you're ready.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: You do have. Well, not yet.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Let's go through our scores at this point in our
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: fantasy football, because we always do our pickups here as well.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Ashley's in the lead. She has 546 points.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: But she had a 28-point week last week, and she's
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: without Jeremiah Smith, who she's not going to drop. So suddenly, Ashley,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: who looked like a powerhouse, looks pretty vulnerable. Anders has
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: crept within 46 points of Ashley. You are in second place.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: And Eric, our listener who's in the showdown draft with us,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: he's only two points back of you.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I'm a little further back. Two really nightmarish weeks. But
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I bounced back a little bit last week with a
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: 58-point week.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: You led last week with 67 points. And we already
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: have done some work off the air. Ashley has passed
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: again this week. Meanwhile, Eric has made a selection. He
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: is going to take Jaden Maiava, the quarterback at USC,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: now that he's back off of bye. And he's dropping
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Julian Sayen, who looks like he's going to be out.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: For the rest of the year for Ohio State. So
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that's the pickup made by Eric.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I have Desmond Roebuck on a buy. It's my only
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: buy this week. I'm going to take Javon Tracy from Minnesota.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Pop him on my roster. Hopefully they are playing Iowa. So,
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: you know, we see, I think Iowa's probably going to
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: win the game, obviously, but we saw against UW, even
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: when they lead late, they kind of play a little
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: prevent defense, maybe get some garbage time yards there.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Going for the garbage yards. Always, you know, it all
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: counts in fantasy, so we'll take it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going for a garbage pick here because....
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm in last place. I can't take a
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: zero at quarterback for two weeks in a row. It
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: worked for me last week because I picked up KJ Duff,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: but I can't take it two weeks in a row.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know if DeMond's ever going to start again.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: So we're going to drop DeMond Williams. And there really
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: aren't any quarterbacks available.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Not really.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I was going to take Dante Moore even and just
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: roll the dice that he was going to be back
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: And he's not.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: And he's not going to be back. So I don't like,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: because I don't like this team. I don't like this player.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: But Dylan Rayola, who I'm probably going to have to
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: drop next week because Dante Moore will be back, should
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: have a productive game against Illinois on the road. So
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to take Dylan Rayola as much
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: as it hurts me in my, gut all right there
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: you go Big Ten preview is now complete first game
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: tomorrow at 9 a.m. coming up next the bigger fish
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: to fry is Seahawks Kansas City Chiefs Sunday we got
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: our top guy on the job Hugh Millen will be
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: with us X's and O's on a Friday at 9.
