• 3:13
  Speaker 2: back officially. I'm trying to find out. I think that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the cam Acres Miles Gaskin stuff. I believe that all
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: came out after I gotta look and see. I don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: think McDonald addressed that stuff today, which is crazy. I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the the let's see you what and pardon me for
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: doing this live on the air, But d yeah, cam Acres.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to see if there were Oh, George
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Halane's injured. Okay, Okay, there you go. George Halane's injured.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: So that's that's your number three running back. Okay, that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: makes sense. First, my first thought was Walker again, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: he played well last week, seemed to be fine. Sharburney
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: seemed to be fine. So cam Apers comes in as
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: uh too bad though, because Alone is a really good
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: special teams player too. Gotta need him out there. I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: don't know if Makers shows that role, but he is
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a veteran's been around. Miles Gaskin, the former ODA and
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: U deb Star is resigned to the practice squad, So
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: away you go for that. I did a little different
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: show today coming up, honestly different, but just normally we
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: have Stuart Mandel on Wednesdays at one twenty. We're not
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: doing that today. Stew's got a little early start on
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the holiday, and for him, I'm sure the holiday doesn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: really include much of a holiday since there's college football
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Thursday Friday as well as Saturday this weekend, but we
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: gave to the day off. Todd Millis Manie Hats Millis,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: formerly the News Tribune, now has his own website for
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: high school sports in our state. He's going to join
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: us coming up at one twenty. And I don't know
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: if we always do enough with high school football. It's hard.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: We're in a major league market and with Husky football,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: NFL Football, then the Koug's and the Kraken all taking
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: place in the fall, Mariners taking a long run through
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, and by the time the Mariners were done,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: high school fooball was almost over and terms the regular season.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We used to do a show called Varsity Football Live
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: on Fridays. I loved that show. When I was working
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the night show, sometimes I'd fill in, but oftentimes for
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a while I was commuting back to Vancouver before we
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: sold our house after the first year I worked here,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and then other times I'm just driving community home at
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: ten o'clock to go home to Maple Valley. When I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: was doing the night show and I was a loyal listener,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Dick Fane for the most part, hosted it, pucked it
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I did a little bit, but a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: lot of it was Faine and I love Varsity Football Live.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It was a great show, fun show. We went around
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the state and that was kind of before Twitter. So like,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: if you wanted to know who was winning games, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you're you know, you're in the Nesqually League and you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: want to know what everybody else is doing you're in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the SPSL, you tuned into that show. Because I was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the only place you get the scores and the updates.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And we had a young Ryan Divish. That's how where
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: he made his major. His radio debut was on Varsity
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Football Live. He was working for the new Strimunia as
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a prep writer back in two thousand and six two
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: thousand and seven. We had guys all across the state
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: coming on. It was really a fun show. It it's hard.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: We can't do it now. We have cracking games a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: lot of times on Friday. Sometimes there's a pack twelve
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: game on a Friday. You kind of are a husky game,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I should say. So you kind of get why it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: harder to do now and just resource wise and everything else.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And it's probably not as needed with social media and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: people finding out scores. It was a ton of fun.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: We did a ton with high school football. I will
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: tell anybody that will listen, and so listen please when
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I tell you this. I think we have two things
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: in this day. I think we have really good talent,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: really good high school football talent. But I think we
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: have a lot of passion. Now. It's not like Texas. Obviously,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: no places, but there are a lot of stadiums around
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this area. If you go to them on a Friday
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: night in September and October. They're packed, thousands of people packed.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: SPSL is a four A league that is an absolute hammer.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: They have three of the four teams in the semi finals,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the PU all Ups, the Sumners, the Graham Capalisans, etc.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: High school football is huge down in the south end,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: South King County, North Pierce County. It's huge. Kinko really
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: good league, like really good league, both four A and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: three A Kinko, I should say up North Lake Stevens
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and those teams up there. High school football Friday night
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: light's a big deal. We went up to Lake Stevens
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: for a playoff game my son was playing a few
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: years ago, twenty nineteen. Man, it was wild. I mean
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it was cool. It was wild. So we're gonna talk
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to Millis and kind of get you tuned up because
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we're carrying the games. We're carrying the three A and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: four A championship games, which will be a week from Friday,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: three A, a week from Saturday, four A at Husky Stadium.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We're carrying those games. Benton's doing the three eight fans
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: doing the four A game on nine to fifty on
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the AM dial So we're gonna get in with Minnie
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Hats Millis and talk to Todd here coming up in
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: about ten minutes and we'll find out from him what's
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: going on this weekend. So semi finals great, and there's
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a really good story coming out of Tacoma that even
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: if you're not a high school football fan, I'm gonna
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: get Todd to tell you the story. Mount Tahoma is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a great story. It's a great sports story, it's a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: great community story, it's a great public school story. It's
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: just a good story where they're at. And because it
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago, Mount to Homa was probably I mean,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they might have had a season
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: where they didn't even play all their games or had
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to forfeit a game because they didn't have enough kids.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Very you know, it's in South Dakoma. I would say,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you define it inner city school,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: but definitely, you know a public school that has its struggles,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: not certainly not the most affluent area, which nowadays it
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: feels like the more affluent you are, the better chance
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you have to compete at a high level. And some sports,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: not all, but some, but Mount to Home is a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: really good story. So I'll get taught to tell you that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Because they're in the semi finals now. They got a
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: tough one East, said Catholic. Kind Of an interesting dynamic there,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the haves and the have nots in terms of resources.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: But we'll talk to Todd about that coming up at
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: one about one twenty today. Also Mike Holmgren his weekly
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: visit that will stay the same. He'll join us. Holmgren
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: will coming up at two o'clock today. We'll talk to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the coach and get his thoughts on what's coming out
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Boy, it's a it's a tough, tough battle
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: right now of attrition all throughout the NFL. I'm gonna
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: talk to Mike a little bit about that because you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: one of the things that just has to be navigated
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: throughout the year are injuries. And the Seahawks, despite this
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: great record, have had their fair share. I mean, we
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: want to listen. They haven't had the catastrophic season ending
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: hammer player, you know, all pro guy like Bosa or
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Warner like the forty nine ers have, but they've had plenty.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You know, Jaren Reeds still on the injured list, Julian
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Love still on the injured list. Ernest Jones missing a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: bunch of time this year. He may practice today, it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: sounds like, but you know, I don't tell I see
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: him on the field. I don't trust he'll be on
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the field. So we'll talk to Mike about how hard
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it is to navigate through that. Also, Jackson Smith and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Jigba has almost forty or almost fifty percent of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Seahawks receiving yards this season. I wonder if that is sustainable.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I wonder if that's sustainable. And I'm gonna ask Mike
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that as well, because I not quite sure if it is.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: That's I mean, fifty percent of the receiving yards. You
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: can do that in the aforementioned high school segment. We're
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: doing right, you know best. If Tina has the best
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: two athletes, one's probably a quarterback, ons are running back
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: or wide receiver. They win. That's how it works in high
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: school football a lot of times, not always, but that's
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: what hopped NFL. I don't keep happening that. So we'll
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: talk to Mike if they need to figure out a
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: way to spread around a little hard. If Tory Horton
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: is still on the injured list, which he is, to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: do that. Maybe Rashi shihed what can they do to
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: get him more involved. We'll talk about that with Mike
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: as well. Four nine four five one. That is the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Unrestricted Free Agent text line. You can text in your thoughts,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: your comments, your questions, your concerns. There. I will have
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: a Factor Fiction pick coming up at two thirty five today,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: by the way, second to last Factor Fiction pick this week,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Softy and Fain. We'll have one at three thirty five,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and then we're done for the week with Factor Fiction.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: No more live programming after they're done today, and then
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: next week you'll have twenty more opportunities to pick Factor
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Fiction brought to you by the Lucky Ego Casino and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Hotel where every day feels lucky. And why is that important?
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of you are in contention and Er
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: said he thinks there was around forty people still in
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: contention for the ten thousand dollars grand prize. Awesome, So
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: all of you that are in that contention area, every
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: pick means something. For those who aren't in contention for
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the grand prize one thousand dollars. This time of the year,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: we go pretty good, right, that would work? I think
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: we all kind of deal with that, right.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what your holiday shopping right there.
• 11:23

  Speaker 2: the two, five, three and kind of has that area covered.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: You guys do the entire state, especially western Washington, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Lauren did a great does gr great job as well.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Tell folks before I get into the games this weekend
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: about about the website, because if you're a high school fan,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and we have a ton of them out here, high
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: school football, I think is a lot bigger than it
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: gets credit for, especially with some of the traditional media
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in our market. Tell people about the website.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, you mentioned I was at Scorebook Live
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Washington for six years and kind of expanded Vauta Pierce
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: County and covered the whole state. And we've taken a
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: lot of what we were doing at a scorebook live
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: to to Varsity Wall. We're you know, we we have
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: a notebook every week Washington Washington and Eastern Washington covered
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: both sides of the state rankings, two podcasts a week.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Lauren h.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Lauren produces it. And I'm I'm the you know, I'm
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: the blobbermouth that that talked. And and then just trying
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: to get to you know games, you know, big schools,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: small schools. We're gonna have a big presence with girls
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: flight football starting next week and our and our preseason
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: high school girls and boys basketball rankings. So you know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: we're only three or four months in, but Laura and
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: I are having a good time and and the and
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: the reception and the support has been fantastic. And I
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: appreciate all our viewers and all our readers for you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: for what we've been doing here the last three or
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: four months.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can just tell stories. I know how
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: hard this guy works. I remember going when my kid
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: was playing summer league basketball at Tahoma and they'd have
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: those tournaments down at Curtis. You're out there doing stuff
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: for you know, and back then for those games like uh,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: you know who mostly because you want to go see
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: like Paula Bankero or somebody dunk on my kid or whatever.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I get it. It was you've always been grinding
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: away and and it's it's awesome to see you have
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: your own little venture now and and best best of luck.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be really successful. And just looking at
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: it, it looks great. The website's awesome.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Let's talk high school football this weekend, and I'll start
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: with the three A ranks semi finals, and I'm gonna
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: say the same thing for the really for the four
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: A as well. For the three I'm looking at the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: semi final games east Side Catholic, Mount Tahoma, Bellevue and Oday.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Three of the four are same old, same all. We
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: see him every year. It feels like Bellevue oday in
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Eastside Catholic. But lo and behold look at little Mount
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Tahoma rolling in as a semi finalist. Let's talk about
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: them first. What kind of story is that this year?
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: It's a it's a great story. Twenty six seniors. They've
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: sort of been gearing for this. First, they had to
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: get over the hump in the city and take care
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: of Lincoln of Tacoma with Sione Cajo, the one of
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: the top quarterback prospects in the Northwest, and they did
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: that twice, including last week, to get to the semi finals.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: But yeah, like I said, this is a program that's
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: been it's been kind of building for this year. You know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: a pretty good offense style. Elijah dur is a U
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: doug commit. He's a good wide receiver, fantastic cornerback. But
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: driving the bus for this team is a is a
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: defense equal to what you're going to see in the
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Metro League. I know it's going to be difficult for people,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: you know, outside Seattle to or in Seattle to believe that,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: but this is a team that is just a stout,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: especially in the interior, as an O'Day, as an East
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Side Catholic, as a Bellevue and you know, you it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: just it's just amazing to watch them week in and
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: week out to just shut people down, especially the run,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: and they really like to run the football.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: You know, they've kind of mirrored their program a little
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: after what's gone on in the Metro League and then
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Bellevue before that with Butch Gontrof, and it's worked. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: here they are in the semi finals, they get to
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: host a state semi final game and Tacoma on Saturday,
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: hosting East Side Catholic. It's been it's been a great
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: story and this this group, like I said, this group
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: of seniors have been have been building this for this
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: moment for a very long time.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Let me just ask you about the schools as a whole,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: because you know, if I might be mistaken here and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: maybe my buddy Rob Ring's gonna call me and yell
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: at me later, but I don't think I am. It
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: feels as if there have been a lot of down
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: years over the years at Mount till Home as well.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They might pop here or there, But it's a I mean,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt it's a city like it's a i'd
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: say borderline inner city school in a lot of ways.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have the resources maybe that some of these
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the Metro League schools have. So how good a story
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: is it? Just overall what Mountahoma has done.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: They went back to back state championships in seventy nine
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: and eighty and after that in the forty five years
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: in between, I mean, I've covered games where they've struggled
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: to get players out where They've had twenty to twenty
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: five people I've got, you know, I've been at games
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: and seasons where they've they haven't won a football game.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: They've gone through a number of coaches, They've lost a
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: lot of they're good players to other schools in the city.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: And Keith Perry came in a few years ago, brought
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: in a really good staff, and like I said, this
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: group has stayed together. Elijah Durmicah Cordero, Felix Diaz. I mean,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: they've this is a group that has been building towards
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: this and has not separated. None of these guys have
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: gone to to to Lincoln. In fact, they've actually gotten
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: some guys that come to Mount Sahoma from from other schools.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: And so it's yeah, it's a it's a fantastic story.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: First time in the semi finals in forty five years.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: And I've covered a lot of their lean years and
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: to see this school celebrate and be ready for a
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: moment like this is truly it's a little it's a
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: little like the Anacordas story of a few years ago.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: When they started their rise. This was a team that
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: was closer to extinction, you know, ten fifteen years ago
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: than it was for contending a state first state championship.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: So that's what makes it so special.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: That's what I love. And we'll get to the matchup
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: in a second. But I think that's why I love
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: with high school sports is you know, seeing that and
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: what a program and a successful program can do for
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: kids on and todd. You know this off the field too, right,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Like it's it's for anybody who thinks that high school
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: football is just about you know, some of the private
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: schools and and the big you know, the big programs
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and all that. It's it's what's happening, and you're talking
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: about the coach what's happening off the field as well.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: You keep twenty six kids that are seeing invested in football.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: In high school football these days, it's not easy. You
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: don't just show up in the in you know, the
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: middle of August play and then go home. You're lifting,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you're doing off season workouts. It takes something. That commitment
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: takes something. So I think it's just to me, it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: just a really when you hear it, when you articulate that,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's just an awesome story all the way around.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: It's probably good for the school as a whole, in
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the area as a whole.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Well, it's certainly good for the city of Tacoma. Like
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: I said, you know, the last city school metro school
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: to be in a state championship game was well Silas
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: what we call Wilson with Desmond true Font or our
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Marcus true Font in the late nineties. So it has
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: been a long time since the city of Tacoma has
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: been in a position to get to Great Iron Classic. Unfortunately,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: it's not in the Tacoma All moneymore. They might they
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: might have filled it next week if Mount Tahoma advances,
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: But you're gonna I think you're gonna see a large
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: representation not only Mount Tahoma, but the City of Tacoma
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: in Hutseya Stadium next week. If the if the t
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Birds can find a way to be the side Catholic.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And they got to be the pys Catholic, the same
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: olds there they are again. What's that team all about?
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: How's this matchup? Look?
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: It's very similar to Mount Sahoma. It's the defense is
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: driving the bus man and I think the first one
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: to twenty points on Saturday at Mountahoma Stadium is probably
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: gonna win. The football game. I mean Wassi Lubelobi's the
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: best linebacker in the state. He's anchored that defense in
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: the middle for three years. Aiden Vee League, I mean
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Titan McNeil, one of the best tight end prospects in
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: the country, is also a really good defensive end. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: there's an you know, they've they've had a couple they've
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: over the you know, past few years, they've gotten some
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: out of state transplant. And I want to mention two
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: young men that have come on and really been impact contributors.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: It's Brayden and Caden Peely. And I know since you
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: are around the Seahawks a lot, Yeah, it's these are
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: kid brothers to Brandon and and Alyssa Peelely who also
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: plays in the WNBA. So I mean, the athletic jeans
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: in this family off the charts. But they all moved
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: from Alaska to be closer to Brandon and and these
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: two young men showed up at East Side Catholic in
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: the summer and they've been and they've been really big contributors.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: And given this this program some death of positions that
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: was needed.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Todd millis joining us. Yeah, Brandon feelies with great story. Finally,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: he's kind of founds like it feels like he's finally
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: got a spot on that roster permanently for the Seahawks.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: All right, So that's one semi final Todd Millis with us.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: The other one I've never heard of this before. O
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Day Bellevue. Wow is that? I guess you know, rinse
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and repeat.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Right, better stories than mans Oma, right, no mess game
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: last year where Oday was was not the favorite, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: and and and really kind of handled Bellevue in the
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: championship game. Now the roles are reversed. You know, uh,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Oday is the number one seed. Uh maybe the best
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: you know, front seven that we've seen in the state
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: in decades. Belbie's in a little bit of a transition period,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: a really talented sophomore class, but with a lot of
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: speed on offense. So if O'Day cannot contain the perimeter,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: this could be a really interesting game. But O'Day has
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: had to battle through some injuries, especially to All state
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: running back your eyes Springfield, who's supposed to be back
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: this week. But I you know Monti Cahler, who became
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the all time winning US coach earlier this year, I
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: know you know him pretty well. There mister Oday. But
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: this program is getting healthy and getting going at the
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: right time. But I think Belby is going to have
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: a couple of tricks up at sleeve come Sunday Saturday.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: I think they sort of feel like they owe Day
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: one after last year's disappointment in Greeniron Classic.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: That's the three A bracket and again we'll have the
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: championship games for everybody that's coming up. They play on Saturday,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: right or Friday, I'm sorry, Friday, a week from a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: week from this Friday, the championship game Husky Stadium, December fifth.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: We'll have that game for you on nine point fifty
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: on the AM dial, also on the iHeartRadio apps so
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: you can hear wherever. Mike Benton, I believe is going
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to be on the call for that. One Dick Fan
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: will be on the call for the four A championship
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: game coming up a week from Saturday at Husky Stadium,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and that'll be the semi finalist. Graham Kapal Lake Stevens
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: is one Sumner pe out the other. Much like I
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: said with three A outside of outside of one outlier
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Mount Tahoma in the four A millis this is this
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: is like same old sam Oh, Isn't it just feels
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: like these are some of the powerhouses of the state
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: every year, all four from the West Side and a
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: whole heavy influence of South Puga Sound League.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the four A SBSL well represented. Obviously
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Sumner winning it last year and now having three teams
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: in the in the semi finals. All have taken sort
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: of different different roads to get here. You know, it
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: has not been the easiest pass for Sumner with three losses,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: played a really brutal schedule, losing to Lake Stephens up
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: there in week one on the last second to pass play,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: losing you know, against six, a powerhouse down in Oregon
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: west Land, and then losing to Peel, which has been
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: kind of the kind of the story of the four ASBSL.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: This team that's been loaded and oozing with potential has
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: sort of put it together under first year Coast DJ Mims.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: A lot of firepower in the perimeter and the receiving corps.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Noah Smith coming over from Central Kitsap has really solidified
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: that pass game, and they've gotten a couple of really
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: good running backs, including Brighton Bailey who came over from
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Mount Tahoma who's who's one of the better running backs
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: you're going to see in the state of Washington. They've
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: just sort of blown everybody out outside Week one, including Sumner.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: But Summer has has sort of found itself since that loss,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: playing better defense, playing more efficiently on offense, and now
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: the rematches at Sparks Stadium on Saturday. I think Sumner
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: fans and players have been kind of looking forward to
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: the rematch, especially after kind of getting hammered midway through
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: the year on a pretty warm Saturday night.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Chris Hegan and is Palla Vikings down there, huh, the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Prince of pall Up. He'll be all fired up and
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: rebed up for that one. That should be a heck
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: of a game. I'm just so happy that Keith got
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: his title last year with Sumner. The other semi final
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: matchup again, stop me if you heard these teams before,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Graham Capalison Lake Stevens. That's the six to two matchups
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Lake Stevens. The two Grand Capals is a six that
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that just feels like a classic four a semi final
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: matchup in our state.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, granted, pousand is not that old game
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: and they've already played seven times in the WI Playoffs
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: and it's usually pretty late in the bracket. These two
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: teams met a couple of years ago, and and the
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: first year that the Great Iron Classic was at Husky
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Stadium won by Lake Stevens. Really loaded with juniors. These
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: two might end up being pre season one two next
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: year with what they have coming back on paper. But
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: two offenses that are really humming right now. Two quarterbacks
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: who are really, really good. I expect to see a
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: lot of publicity on these guys moving forward. Sophomore A J.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Tilly Bave from Grand to palisand he's probably the most
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: accurate deep passer I've seen in years.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Ian Wow.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: And there's a guy that's in his first year at
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Lake Stevens. He's he shoots out of the canon's so
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: fast and he's really improved as a as a his
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: name's Blake Moser. He's been he's been kind of waiting
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: his kind of waiting his time by the little wide
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: receiver last year. He's more of a baseball guy. But
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I think after what he's accomplished this year as a
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: duel threat, I think he he's going to be a
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: big time recruit next year. Again, this could be, This
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: could be a game where the winner gets the sixty
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: points and if you don't, you're going to lose. So
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: I expect a lot of points up at Lake Stevens
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: on Saturday afternoon against two teams very very familiar with
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: each other.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Tom Mills with us again, we're going to have the
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: games for you on nine to fifty on the AM dial.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: The three A championship game a week from Friday a
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Husky Stadium, in the four a week from Saturday at
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Husky Stadium, like Ben and Dick Faine on the calls
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: for those games, also on the iHeartRadio app. I'm gonna
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: wrap it up with this, Todd, Todd Mills with this.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Just you know, Mount Dahome is an outlier. There's two
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: private schools in there for the three A. Then you
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: got Graham Capas and Lake Stephen Sunder and pew Up.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: A lot of the same old, same on even looking
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: through who were in the quarterfinals, you know, like a
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Skyline which I think Peyton Pullor. Once they got through
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: all the nonsense there, they kind of got things going again.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: And g Prep from the east side of the state.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Boffel was was a you know playoff team this season,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: a little controversy. It looks like with Moses Lake, although
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Moses Lake then took it on the chin seventy six
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: to forty one in the quarters. But I see a
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: lot of these teams, same teams every year. What is it?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Because we hear about kids transferring, we hear about kids
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: you know, the private schools, quote recruiting and what have
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: you and all those things. What is the common denominator
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: among a successful high school football program in our state?
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, import of talent. I mean, all those teams that
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: we mentioned in the semi finals have have you know, two, three,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: four impact performers that have come in and performed very well.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: And it seems like it's like that every year.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Listen, I don't want to discount what's going on the
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: East side because last year Ian and the four A
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: semi finals, there were two teams from Eastern Washington that
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: we're in the final four and easily could have been
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: playing for the state championships. So but this year the
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: power was in the West side, and like you said,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: four teams that we've known growing up and especially recently
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: that always seem to be there. Their youth programs are healthy, yea,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: their coaching staff intact, so you know, all that's in play,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: but you know, when it does help when you have
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: an influx of talent, especially college bound talent like the
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: four of these these programs have enjoyed, and like I said,
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: each each of the four of them have enjoyed you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: two or three impact guys coming in to really make uh,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: to really make a difference between you know, sitting and
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: maybe being eliminating the quarter finals and getting to this
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: point and practicing on Thanksgiving and being able to you know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: to get a shot to go to the Gridiron Classic
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: next week.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I think I think we mentioned what the youth programs
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: is big. I mean, I think it's you know, having
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: those those feeder programs that are tied in with the
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: high school pop has it. Somener has it, like Stevens
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: definitely has it. I'm assuming gram Capalison has it. I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: not really sure, but I just I think that's a
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: big part of it too, and getting kids involved. Successful
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: high school football programs I think are still a really
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: good thing for a high school as a whole, for
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: a student body as a whole, especially with we went
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: through five years ago with COVID not having any of
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: those things. A lot of these kids or in eighth grade,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: seventh and eighth grade when that happens. So kind of
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: cool to see that all come back and sounds like
• 30:05

  Speaker 6: Canner will be you know, ready to go here, so

  Speaker 6: excited to play with.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Him betting with Berkeley Catton who let the cat out
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: of bag. Maybe a little bit sounds like Jared McCann's
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: in the lineup. He was skating with Berkeley Catton this
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: morning and on a line Cat and center. In that
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: line Shane right on the right side and Cannon the left,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: So it sounds like mccannal though it's not official yet,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: will be active for tonight's game. Dallas Stars in town
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: taking on the Crack at seven o'clock, dropping the buck

  Speaker 2: one and three away from there. They're six four and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: one at home, eight one and three on the road.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Putting a win last night where they uh beat the
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: you know what, beat the doors off, beat the brakes
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: off of the Edmonton Oilers, made Anderson Hurst really happy
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: along the way. So that game again tonight, Cracking Tonight
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: play and then they play Edmonton do the Kraken on Saturday.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: That's a twelve thirty game. It'll be on nine to
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: fifty on the AM dial because we'll have Husky football on.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: That's unfortunate. Like the one time we have a day
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: game for the Crack and I'm like, cool, I'll go
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: home watch them college football and maybe second half of
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the coops at three point thirty missed the Husky game.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of bummed about that. To be honest with you,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: it does stink. It's all right, we'll lift, we'll lift,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: we'll lift, we'll lift. So yeah, there you go. That's
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: uh again. We'll wait and see what happens tonight. In
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: terms of jere mccamb but they're hoping to get the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: all time leader in goals scored back on the ice tonight.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Coppo Cocko, by the way, was skating today Red Jerseys
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: so known contact. He's not back yet, but hopefully soon.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: This team's getting a little bit healthier by the day.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: McCann would be a big boost, especially tonight. Casey the
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Smith expected a starting goal back up for Dallas. He
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: had all I'm expecting to see, as we like to
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: call him, Joel Joey Dax the Cord.
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: It is nice if he can go. How much playing
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: time do you think he'll see?
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: He'll play eighty five games. No, he'll play a night.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Greenber has played great though I love Grooby. He's been
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: playing really well. So all good, All right. That's Jamie
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Power played. Brought to you by our friends at Issakua
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Honda Caboda Isakuahana Caboda right off of I ninety there
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in Issaqua area. Real quick. I want to get a
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Seahawk note in here, jess if I can, Adam Schefter
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: reporting a short time ago Darien Kendrick. I just told
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: you guys the headlines an hour ago. The Seahawks has
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: released him. I think that they were hoping to get
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: him back onto the practice squad. Hope is now lost
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: for Darren Kendrick. He was claimed today by the La Rams.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I know I know anyone else. His old team who
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: released him and then Seattle picked him up this year
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: actually started a game at least I believe, played a
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: lot of football for Seattle, especially when they had some
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: guys banged up released by the Rams, signed by the Seahawks,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: play with the Seahawks, released by the Seahawks, now re
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: signed by the La Rams. So there you go. That's
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: not that's not optim and that's not what they it's hard.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: We'll have to ask Mike about this a little bit.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: The roster gymnastics, you have to play with guys, trying
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: to wave guys through to the practice squad, you know,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: depending on what their their tenure is in the league.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: A lot of times you have to go through waivers
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: to get to the practice squad and you look risk
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: losing those guys along the way. And a guy like Kendrick,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: for you know, I think we talked about this. Who
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: was it? It might have been might've been Corbin at
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: myself talking about this a couple of weeks ago. It's like,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: do you think the Rams were having like a little
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: bit of remorse, because I mean they were having some
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: problems at corner. Some guys are banged up, and they
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: and thinking, man, I wish I bet they wish they
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: had Darien Kendrick right now. And then Seattle gets a
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: little healthy at corner and so all of a sudden
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: they cut him hoping to get into the practice squad. Boom,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: he's gone. That's when Shaquille Griffin, by the way, is
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: up got signed as well. So lots of stuff going
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: on this time of the year as the Seahawks and
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: everybody else in the NFL, the news around, and you
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: can tell there's desperation in the year. Frank rag Now,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: the longtime center for the Lions who retired, is now
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: back with the Lions year. It's just so many injuries,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: so many things taking place right now. DeVante Smith has
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: heard again, Chris Alave is heard again. I mean, there's
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: just all kinds of guys are banged up this season.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Guys are all banged up this season. So that's all right,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: we'll get that. One other non football note, Brian Wu
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: won his pre arbitration. We told you about Trek Steuart
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: School the other day got his pre arbitration agreement. Bran
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Wo won of those as well, so he's gonna get paid.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: He got his agreement was or settlement, I guess it
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: was is over a million dollars, which is good. I'd
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: be curious what happens when we get to a year
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: from now, or whenever they get to moving on to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: the new Collector of Barny agreement. For baseball, it takes
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: so long for guys to get to free agency. Now.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: It's so nice for a team like Seattle where you
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: have one pitcher who's making a ton of money in
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Luis Castillo and a bunch of other guys that, relatively
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: speaking baseball wise, aren't WU gets a little bit more.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: But by market value, Brian who was worth I don't know,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: close to twenty million, maybe something like that. I mean,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: he's worth a lot of money. He's making a little
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: a little under two million. Coming up this year, all right,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: they break come back Mike hongrid on this day before Thanksgiving.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Coach will join us. Coming up next now.

  Speaker 6: Well, you know it's changed over the years. When I
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: was coaching, we used to have practice and then kath
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: and I had to go down to the Salvation Army
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: and serve meals, which was fun, and I'd bring socks
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: and different blankets and stuff with people down there, Seahawk stuff.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Did that for a long time and then well, typically
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: we go out to dinner on Thanksgiving, go to a restaurant,
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: take there. Now the family's so big, I'm not working anymore,
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: so I can't afford to go out to dinner with everybody,
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: you know, So no, we're going to go out to dinner,
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: going to Willi's Lodge, and a couple of the families
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: are going to be with us. Call is still in
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: Chicago and Gretchen has to will nothing have to be.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: But we'll be with her husband's family down in Tacoma.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: So it's fun Thanksgiving me specially.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Thanksgiving. What you kind of mentioned? What
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: did here in Seattle? What did you do? I noticed
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks there. They're weekly schedule sent out and all
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: it says on Thursday is Happy Thanksgiving, which means basically
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: no media like basically stay away, go be with their families.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: What have you?
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: What did you like to do. And I'm sure it
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: changed over the years from when you were head coaching
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Green Bay to Seattle. If if it's a normal week
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: and it's a Sunday game, Thanksgiving is always on Thursday,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: what would you do to try to get your players
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: out of their early, your staff out of there early.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: What would you do?
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be the thing, you know. And I
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: did it the same way in Green Bay, in the
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: same way. And I probably did it that way when
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: I was growing up and learning the business in San Francisco.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: But you get in there and you'd have it probably
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: wasn't a pad practice, but we practice early, get in
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: there and get them out of the building and go
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: home and enjoy your Thanksgiving, you know. And and that
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: seemed to work, okay.
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: In fact, the players liked it, So that's.
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: What we did.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: There's a balance, though, right, because you've got to get
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: your work done at the same time. This is it's
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: there's a family element to it, especially the guys that
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: have families. And it's not just the players, right, it's
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the entire support.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: Staff too, that's right, everybody, and the coaching and coaches
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: and their families and no the players and you know,
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: what happened. And you know this, the players, players would
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: gather up other players if they were, you know, by themselves,
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: had no family here and things like that. They always
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: had places to go. It seemed like. And my players committee,
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: led by Robbie, your friend Robbie Tobec and those guys.
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: I talked to them about that. I said, ask around.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: You don't have to invite everyone to your house, but
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: ask around and kind of talk it up and get
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: people to reach out to guys that they don't have
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: anybody here.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what you do. Michael joining us. I
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: like the fact that you gave our friend Hugh Millen
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: a homework assignment on Monday. I like that I wasted.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I like that tell people what tell tell people what
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: you asked him to do and why you asked him
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you know, I've been watching the Seahawks.
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: We've been watching the Seahawks all season, and then Jingue
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: is just like always open and he's wonderful. He's a
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: great player, and he makes it look easy sometimes, but
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: he's always open. And I was thinking, if I was
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: playing against him, you know, I bang him around, I
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: wouldn't let him get off the line of scrimmage, I said,
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: I wonder because I don't study it like you does
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: now and no one does in the whole world. No,
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: but you know, he he looks at it, and I said,
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: I would be curious to see how many he's caught
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: X amount of balls? How many of those catches? Did
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: he have a free release off the line of scrimmage,
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: you know? Or did he it bumped? Or how is
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: he handling that? And actually you got kind of fired
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: up about that?
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Are you surprising all the time? Are you surprised?
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: You want it Monday? I said, you don't have to
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: have him, you know, tomorrow. No, No, you can just
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: enjoy Thanksgiving and maybe we'll talk about it on Monday.
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: You know, you know you I'm curious.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: You know, he's already got it done, right, Like you know,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: there's a there's about a ninety nine percent chance it's
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: already done that that he's got you know what, he
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: was a machine.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: There's a there's a machine in there. Who and he talks,
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: but there's a machine and he just gets everything done.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I'll be curious, like you just said, though, because with
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and jigg but with Jsn. He it looks
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: almost effortless. If I was the opposition or a fan
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: of the opposing teams, I think I'd be thinking the
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: same thing that Mike Homeran is, like what are you
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: doing here?
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Why are you allowing him to make it look so easy?
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Why is he always open? And you know, Mike, I
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: would say, you know the Calvin Johnson's of the world, right,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: or the Justin Jefferson's of the world. You see those
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: guys they were they were so physically they're physically dominant.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is that way right, these six foot four,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: huge receivers that can also run like the wind. And Okay,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: I get that right. They're just you know, they're not
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: gonna bully those guys. They're not gonna bump that with
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. But jas N is not physically imposing.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: So when you before Hugh gets back to you, what's
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: your assumption why is he always open?
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: Well, I think there are formations. They spread of people.
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: They spread people out, so it's hard to actually and
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: if you notice, he'll start on one side and then
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: motion to the other side. Oftentimes he does that, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: that there's first of all, they're they're saying, have they
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: put one of their guys on him all the time?
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: Is at man's own There are a lot of reasons
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: why what you'd be thinking about what's happening there. But
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: that gives the quarterback a good idea. And then when
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: he does that the idea of bumping him, maybe it
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: changes maybe the lineback because I have to move out
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: a little bit. So they're doing a good job. The
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: Seahawks are doing a good job of preventing that from
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: happen happening, And but then I would tell my defensive coordinator,
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: I don't care what he does. I don't care how
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: they shift, how they run motion. I want him bumped
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: every play. So figure that one out. That's what you're
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: getting paid to do. Figure it out, because there are
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: receivers in the league. If you don't do that, If
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: you don't do that, and there is talented as this
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: young man, they're going to hurt you, you know, every
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: single time. But it's remarkable to me and how often
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: I mean he just is really wide open.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: It just kills you know, I go, wow, how does
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: he do that? So you you listen, you will have
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: the answer. I know we'll have the answer. I'm not
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: sure if we'll have enough time in the morning broadcast
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: to listen to the whole answer.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be in the Monday morning Quarterback with Chuck
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: and Bucky and Ashley on Monday with you and Hugh.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I'll be listening for that because I'm curious myself as well.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: He feels a little bit, you know, as you're kind
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: of describing that, they're built differently, and and Cooper's a
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: little he's he's a little thicker, and Jackson's a little
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: bit faster, but there neither one of them are like
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: you know, Rashid Shi, he'd breakaway threats. But as you're
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: describing that, I feel like what Seahawk fans went through
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: watching Cooper Cup in his prime when he's playing for
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: the Rams. He was always open And I've got to
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: think part of that is just elite route running skills
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: and abilities, right.
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: No, that is and that really is and I think
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: he is he is And the fact is he's a
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: young guy. He hasn't played a lot in the NFL,
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: and he's just tearing it up. So if you say,
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: what's his future, look like, I mean, goodness me, the
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: door is wide open. But I think the other part
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: of that is that Cup. You know, they say, well,
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: he's you know, he's kind of at the end of
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: his career, he's not doing it, but they people know
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: they have to cover him too, so they're they're I
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: think they're probably that Cup is helping Enjigma two and
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: so and Orton was when he was what he was playing,
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: and our tight end helps him. Yeah, you know, so
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: it's a pretty good passing game going, Mike.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I saw a stat today that was interesting and it
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't surprising, but it kind of got me thinking a
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: little bit bigger picture. Jackson Smith and Jigba's got forty
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: six percent of the balls Seattle's thrown this year and
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: what have you? And I mean, so let's just say,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: for for argument's sake, let's just say that Jackson Smith
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: and Jigma as a receiver is fifty percent of Seaux
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks receiving yards and volume and targets and everything
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: is more than that for targets. But he's a fifty percent,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: is you know, is that sustainable? You coach great players,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: whether it be Sterling at the wide receiver position. Sterling
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: certainly Jerry Rice from the OC and offensive coordinator in
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: in in San Francisco. But what this guy's doing, he's
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: it's one of the top six in terms of percentages
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: in the history of the league, going back to like
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty nine. Is that the stainable? Do you think, Mike?
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Now I say that there are eleven games into a
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: seventeen game season, maybe the answer is and obvious yes,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: But is that sustainable?
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: I don't think. So I read that same thing and
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: I'm going, wow, you know, because I remember again when
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: we had Jerry Rice, when I had privilege of coaching him,
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: John Taylor, Brent Jones, Roger Craig would catch out of
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: the backfield for a thousand yards every year I was there.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: It was kind of the same number. Jerry would catch
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: about eighty five to ninety passes. The X receiver John
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: Taylor would catch sixty five, the tight end would catch
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: about fifty five. It didn't vary that much. So that
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: that was the system now here, Like I said, to
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: have one receiver almost having fifty percent of the targets
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: of the catches, that's think about that for a second,
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: and it's it's that would that's what beg the question
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: for me, why are teams letting kind of not devoting
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: enough to stopping that? So Dan alone answered your question,
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: I don't think I don't think that's sustainable. No one's
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: ever going to just put the clamps on him, but
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: I think it's kind of It'll probably come down just
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: slightly by the end of the year.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: He would he would lose his mind if I asked
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: you this, if I asked him this question, because it's
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: overly simplistic. But I'm gonna ask you because you're a
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: nicer person sometimes, I know, I love you. I'm just joking, like,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: why why don't teams just try to double team in Moore?
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, that's that's a fair question. I mean,
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: because that's a fair question.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: You're not as afraid of the rest of the group, right,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the you know, why not roll
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: a safety more often to him? I mean, I don't
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: know if that's easy. It's probably easier said than done.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, very simplistic for me to say that, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: it just feels like that would be a better option
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: at some point and say, Okay, somebody else is going
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: to beat me at this point, you know, like you said,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: get physical with the line of scrimmage. But we're just
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: gonna do that and see if they can because you know,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: so without Tory Horton, you know, they do have aj
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Barter who's had a nice solid season at tight end.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll see if Forshichi he can get more
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: involved in Cooper Cupp and so forth. But it's not
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: like they have a ton of options.
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: No, but I know they don't. And and it's that's
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: a good question, And that's kind of the question is
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: going through my mind. I think before too long you
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: might see just a little different thing going there that
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: you that other guys get involved just a little bit more.
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: Because defenses, you have to look at the film and
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: you have to say, this guy has won games for them,
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: this one player with catches and yardage and all that
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff. Now, Donald has done a nice job
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: of getting him the ball. But it's just like anything else.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: You get a you take a receiver out a little
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: bit from a quarterback's comfort zone, and all of a
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: sudden that changes a little as well, you know. So
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: I'll give credit to Donald, I really do. And and
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: but and Jigula is I'm happy for him. And then
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: it would be great if nothing changed, But I think
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: that's we'll see. I think it's going to change just
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: a little bit.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Mike Comrin's one of your pet peeves in this world
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: is how the NFL teams and how the NFL as
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: a whole roster construction wise treats the quarterback position. I
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: mean that by not having three quarterbacks always on your
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: active roster, you know all those things, and you know,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: not always drafting a quarterback. And I'm sure you've had
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: conversations with your your friend John Schneider about that over
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: the years when he until this year drafting mill Row
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: had kind of avoided that forever, right, But I bring
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: that up. JJ McCarthy is probably going to miss the
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: game Sunday with the Seahawks. Carson Wentz is the backup.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: He is on the injured reserve. They're going to go
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: to a guy, Max Brosmer, who is an undrafted free agent.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Started his career in New Hampshire, ended up at the
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: University of Minnesota, so he did play in the Big
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Ten at the end, but he's undrafted free agent, never
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: started a game, Mike, how can a team find itself
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: in that position?
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: You know, that's Uh, I, I don't know. I'm that
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: that's you've done it. You've done it wrong then, because
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: here you have a team in the Minnesota Vikings. Prior
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: to the start of the season, they were expected to
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: be something special and right now it's it's falling apart,
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: part of injuries, and that's it happens. But then you
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: have to prepare for that. You have to think about that,
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: and particularly at that position now I must. I'll be
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: honest with you, I'm not sure I knew this young
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: man's name.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: You know I didn't either, Mike. I tell you I
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I watch a lot of college football over the years.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Every week, I we we study a lot for the draft,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: and obviously nobody studies it, likes say our friend Rob
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: rang does, but like like like who like I I'm
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: trying to think when we talked to Great Cosel and
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Pallozolo and all these other people's pre draft, I never
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: heard this guy's name brought up, like and uh, you
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: know in college what have you? And and he's going
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: to start a game, I mean, good for him, and
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: what a thrill starting for a team where you into
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: their big thing career. And I think he might even
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: be from Minnesota or Minneapolis. But but yeah, it's just
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: it's now they're four and seven, they're probably at the
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: point where like whatever doesn't matter. I mean, what's we're
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: we're playing for draft picks anyway right now. But it's
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: just it's it's remarkable how hard it is to I
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: mean even Cleveland, Cleveland, they've gone through like four or
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: five quarterbacks already this year. Like it's it's remarkable.
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: No.
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: Finally, you know, I was on all those committees in
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: the league and we'd talk about roster and how we're
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: going to use the quarterbacks, and I ran and rave
• 55:43
  Speaker 6: all the time, and they didn't want to change it
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: very much. And for the life of me to this day,
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know why. Then they finally changed it. Now.
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: Of course, you have a lot more people on your
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: practice squad. Yeah, so you can have you can have
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: young people that are that are open to practices and
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: understand your system him and things like that. But you
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: have to have if you're down to your third quarterback.
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: You know, we dealt a little bit with that with
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: Seneca when Matt got hurt my last year. But Seneca
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: could play, he could play, you know, and so this
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: young guy will see, you know. I mean it would
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: be something he came in and just shot lights out,
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: that would really be something. But you can't put the
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: team in that position.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Haec was your true was your number
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: one backup for what least three years? Maybe us felt
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: pretty you must have felt pretty comfortable with him.
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: Sure, no, and then you know we got him in
• 56:33
  Speaker 6: Cleveland and he did okay, but you know he he
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: but you know, you always have to have that plus drafting.
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: And I've told you this before. I always liked to
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: draft a quarterback and you know we did in the
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: fifth or sixth round or something later and then teach
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: him and let him play and teach him and then
• 56:53
  Speaker 6: who knows. You know, some of them went on to
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: do really fine things. So but I don't know if
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: that was in Minnesota. Is thinking quite honestly this year?
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: All right, final thing for you, Mike, I need you
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: to take me behind the curtains a little bit here,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: all right, without getting anybody in trouble, I bring this up. So,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks had cornerback Darrien Kendrick was They picked him
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: up off waivers start of the year from La played
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: a bunch of football for Seattle this year, they've got there.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: You know, you're in this roster gymnastics mode right now,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: right this time of the year, you're trying to You're
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: you're cutting guys, you're signing guys, you're trying to float
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: guys through waivers. And two things. One, when you as
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: a coach and a GM what have you are talking
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: And I know the rules have changed a little bit
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: with ir and stuff, but still it's the same when
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: you're talking to whoever it is. If you're talking to
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay, you guys are sitting around and you're saying, Okay,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: we want we got to make a move. Who do
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: we drop? And do we think that we can get
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: this guy back on our roster a week from now?
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: How do how do those conversations take place?
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: Well, they're hard conversations, first of all, because I wasn't
• 57:59
  Speaker 6: a big fan of those things. You know, we had
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: our guys, we signed them, and I didn't expect a
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: lot of that happening at this time of the year.
• 58:07
  Speaker 6: You know, now, if injuries take place, but if you
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: have a practice squad, now what's seventeen and you still
• 58:15
  Speaker 6: have to go out to find somebody, you think then
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: then I don't know. I don't know how that works,
• 58:24
  Speaker 6: to be quite honest, you know, I like to keep
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: my guys. And if you know, ron Wolf was my boss,
• 58:31
  Speaker 6: and then in Seattle, I was the boss. So I
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: but I would let I would let Ted Thompson those
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: guys if they wanted to do something, come in and
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: talk to me about it, you know. But I was
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: rather reluctant to make moves unless you had just a
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: horrible injury problem. Then, like I said, we didn't have
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: a seventeen man practice squad, you know, and I would
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: think people you would go there, you know first, But
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know. But that's what you do. You sit
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: around and talk and you start phoning your friends on
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: other teams. What are you doing? And I say your friends,
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: not everybody.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Well, because I yeah, Kendrick got picked up by the
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: RAMS day after Seal I release when they wanted to.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: I know, they want to get him back on the
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: practice squad, but the RAMS claimed him pretty much immediately.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: When that was when that happened, All right, here's here's
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: the behind the scenes part. Mike, tell me this, like
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: when you when when those roster moves are made, and
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: it's say it's it's Ted sitting there in Kirkland and
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: what have you. And do you say to the guy, listen,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna cut you. It's we're gonna cut
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: you on Wednesday. So you already got paid for the
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: week on Tuesday, right, and we're gonna do that, but
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: we want to resign you next week. So don't jump
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: on a plane and go to the Bahamas or anything
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: like that. Just just hang tough. Do you have those
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: little whispers wink winks? Do you do that?
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: Mike? Absolutely? Absolutely? And then then but then all of
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: a sudden you do that, and then about an hour
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: later the agent would phone with Reinfelder's phone somebody. I'd say, okay, okay,
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: that sounds good, but how are you going to sweepen
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: the pot a little bit? What are we going to
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: do here? Because you know, and then the agents starts fighting,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 6: fighting for the player, so you know, you've got to
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: be ready for all that stuff. And there's a lot
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: of wink wings that go along.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: Really, that's what I was wondering. I wonder if there's
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: wink winks. And by the way, did you did you
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: notice that just that somehow Mike got a little shot
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: in at the agents just to the end there, just
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: got a little there's a little veiled shot.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 6: Well, if we had more time, we could talk a
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: lot about that. That's another No, that's another thing.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm not doing that to you today. It's Thanksgiving.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not I know how to poke. I know you know,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: and I know that I know how to poke you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: and get you going a little bit. I'm not going
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: to do that today. But there's certain there are certain
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: buttons that you can push in the Mike Homgrian world.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: And let's just say that one of those near the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: top of that list of the red buttons would be agents.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't like that. I don't. I don't like
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: just to see that side of me. No real want
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: to get in.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: I agree, I could put No, it's Thanksgiving, we're gonna
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: we're not gonna. We're not gonna get Mike all riled
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: up and he's gonna go and Kathy's gonna say, why
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: did you get him riled up? You brought up the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: word agent, and that that's one of those things that
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: you just did not handle. You just didn't havendle. Well,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: I know you are, I know you are, Mike. You
• 1:01:17

• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: All NFL on the Morning Show, All NFL on the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: midday show before us were split, soon to be two
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: NCAA's and one NFL. And then Fame took you up
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Oregon under fifty one and a half yesterday.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: I like that pick.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Actually, Okay, here's what we're doing. A college football playoff
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: poll came out yesterday. We're talking about this with MJ
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: in the midday a little bit today. A lot going
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: on out there. There's a lot of what ifs, a
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: lot of scenarios being painted. One of those what ifs
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: involves ol Miss.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, if familiar foe.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin and ole Miss might have heard of him.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: So will he stay? Will he go?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: That's the question right now with ole Miss and Lane Kiffin.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: They are ten and one, seemingly a lock to be
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: in the college football Playoff, but they have a little
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: roadblock on their way. It's called in state rival Mississippi State.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: That is a nine am game on Black Friday for
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: us out here in the Pacific time zone. Ole Miss
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: playing at Mississippi State and Jess I am going with
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Lane Okay, I'm going Lane Kiffin and ole Miss. They
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: are favor by seven Ole Miss minus seven, fact four
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: nine four five one, get after it, get a win
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: on Friday morning, by a noon, I'm gonna have a
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: win in our back pocket. Keep our winning streak alive,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: keep on rolling with it. But I'm going to Old
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: Miss minus seven. Now most of well not most of them,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: A good chunk of the country rooting against these guys.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Who's rooting against Ole Miss? All Mark James and all
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: his friends at Miami, BYU fans, Utah fans, Vanderbilt fans.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: The list goes on. Ole Miss loses that game, and
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: if they do and Kiffin announces maybe afterwards that he's
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: going to Florida for LSU, I think Old Miss at
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: ten and two would have a hard time convincing the
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: committee that they're worthwhile to go to the college football Playoff,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: even though committee chair and sitting in that seat makes
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: you automatically A dummy said the other day, well, we
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: don't know how they would be without the coach. We
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: haven't seen that. I'm like Florida State a couple of
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: years ago lost their quarterback and then we knew what
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: they looked like without the quarterback. That's why they voted.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: I still think it's going to be hard if Ole
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Miss loses. I don't think they will. I think they're
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: gonna come out. I haven't been much of a believer
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: in them. I thought Wazoo should have beat them, But
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: in this game, the Egg Bowl, I can't see it.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State's last six of the last seven, the majority
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: of which have not been close. Their only win is
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: against Arkansas. Arkansas is awful. They've already fired their coach.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss rolls Ole Miss minus seven fact four nine
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: four or five one. If you disagreed fiction four nine
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: four to five to one. Now what are you doing? Well,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: you're trying to win ten thousand dollars grand prize or
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: a one thousand dollars weekly prize. If you're in contention
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: for the ten thousand dollars grand prize, you know it.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: You're already there. You're all set to go. If you aren't,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: you can still win a thousand dollars weekly prize. All
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: you have to do is get one correct pick during
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: the week and you will be automatically inner to win
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. Simple as that. So you text fact
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: if you agree, Ole miss minus seven fact. If you
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: disagree and think Mississity State's gonna win or cover, you
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: text fiction to four nine, four or five one right now.

  Speaker 3: I think it's a good pick.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: And yeah, as much as I don't want to say
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: go ole miss or anything, I just think Mississippi, Mississippi
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: State is outmatched in this one by way more than
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: a touchdown.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: I see more facts than fiction.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: I see more facts, but I see way to be
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: fixed it. So oh, let's do this. Take a break,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: let's figure out and get this thing fixed. We'll do
