• 1:42
  Speaker 6: what happened. The Sounders airerupt for four goals last night
• 1:46

• 1:48
  Speaker 6: I didn't look this up. Everybody knows. I'm not a
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: huge soccer fan, but I'm pretty sure this is the

  Speaker 2: Is that right? Maybe? Off?

  Speaker 3: Maybe off a goal?
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: Five at least got off by a bunch. It did
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: look like it was going to be an absolute blowout.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: At first, make it close.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and then they kind of let up a little
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: bit there, let a couple of easy ones go in.
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: Then it was It kind of felt like, even though
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: we had a one goal lead there, for most of
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: the second half, it felt like they were going to
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: cough it up. For some reason, I felt more nervous,
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: even though we were ad, h, yeah, that's soccer.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: He'll do that to you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Well, and that's me Seattle sports. You can be ahead

  Speaker 6: Ovid Vargas said. Two goals in the game two of
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: the four four to two the series even at one
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: a piece, and so they will play the third and
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: deciding match this Sunday at one o'clock, and of course
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Minnesota has earned the right to host that game. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: suppose Cracking one over the Blackhawks three to one last night,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: so they've gone five games with at least one point.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: They are six two and four under Lane Lambert in
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: his first season, and last night a nice convincing went
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: over the Blackhawks three to one. Everett will join us

  Speaker 6: four over Arkansas Pine Bluff ninety four to fifty the
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: final there. They'll take on Denver on Thursday and then
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Baylor on Sunday, so they will have a really stiff

  Speaker 2: They appreciate that. A great night when with my family
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: when I get home. I don't if I've ever mentioned
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I think we mentioned on this show. We live a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: long way from the East Coast.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: You mentioned it a time or two.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was up at three am Seattle time yesterday
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to catch a fly. I basically went straight from the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: stadiums in the night at East Coast night games. You
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: gotta stay you about three o'clock in the morning. By
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the time you get uber back to downtown d C
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: four o'clock. Got to be at the airport at six
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: for a flight out, picked up my bags at the hotel,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: didn't break much on the sheets, and we went. So
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that's how East Coast Coast. Yeah, we lived a far
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: far away. Sorry missed yesterday, but yeah, Vast Airlines wouldn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: let me talk to him.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that was our birthday gift to you. You didn't
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: have to tell.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, that ok it, thank you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: All right, Well, we do have a lot to discuss.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Let's just talk about the game Sunday night.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, how.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Impressed were you with the Seahawks blowout of the Washington Commanders.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the failing into the week and then
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: certainly in the weekend once I got to Washington that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that was going to be a blowout. And I don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: often think the Seahawks are going to blow teams out.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I just don't think they're definitively better than a lot
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of teams. They're good, but they're not definitively better than most.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But I turned to Michael sean Dugard athletic next to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: me in the press box. I said, Mike, this is
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be a boat race. He and I actually agreed.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: The commanders are reeling, especially on defense that we mentioned
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the starters that are out injured. They have big holes
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in the secondary, wide open. I mean everybody was open
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: for the Seahawks, not just Jackson Smith and Jigbi are
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a royal for the touchdown. Horton for two touchdowns, Guys
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: just Roaman free in that secondary, and they had no
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: pass rush to affect Sam Donald at all. So you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: can really I mean the Saints game in Week three,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: when they are up thirty eight to three in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: first half, that's the only other game in the last
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: several years that the Seahawks were this dominant this early
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: right away. So it was lopsided. But the team they
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: played is flawed and I know, the Seahawks six and two,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: first place, winning her six or last seven, all of that,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald, third's coach in NFLA to win eleven his
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: first twelve road games, all of that. But I want
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to say again, none of this matters until they beat
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the Rams and the forty nine ers because they're not
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: going to the playoff. They're not winn the division, meaning
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: they're not going to have home playoff games until they
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: do that, and in two weeks they get to La
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Rams in Englewood and we'll start seeing how real this is.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I agree, you got to measure yourself against
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: those that have been kind of the cream of the
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: crop in the division as of late. And yet I
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: don't know for sure if the home playoff game part
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: is quite as important. It doesn't feel like, at least
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: for Mike McDonald, might be like, yeah, we kind of
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: want a wildcard. But I mean, ultimately to just staying
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: on last week's game, I mean, Sam Donald, yes, a
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: bunch of guys out for them, and they're yet it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: a better team, and yet he still went out there
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: and it was pretty much impeccable. I mean, is that
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: one of the better halfs at least the first half
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: that you've seen a Seahawks quarterback play.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the last time I covered a game with a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: quarterback that good was Rich Gannon in Pittsburgh on a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Sunday night game in two thousand and two. That's how
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: long ago it was. The Raiders through sixty five times
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that night. Sixty five of the first sixty six plays
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: were runs, and Gannon had on like twenty eight of
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: twenty nine, but seventeen for seventeen three hundred and thirty
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: at the time, two hundred and thirty yards and four
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: touchdowns in the first half, sixteen for sixteen. Darnald after game,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: we asked him when the last time he went seventeen
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: for seventeen started a game. He said, maybe high school
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: at San Clemente High School and so CAL before he
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: went to USC. The players, the coaches, they were blown away.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: After I wrote in my game story about the superlatives,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Leonard Williams said, the defense on the sideline was just
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: standing there in amazement. Tory Horten caught him a hell
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: of a quarterback who was on fire. Mike McDonald said,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he's just ridiculous right now. The accuracy of getting the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: ball out of the decision making. But let's remember he
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: was not doing those things against s Houston. Just the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: week before. He had the sack fumble in the end
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: zone when he held onto the ball too long. He
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: said that was his fault. So he's not perfect, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: he was perfect in the first half Sunday night. To
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: your question, Bucky, you can't play It's impossible to play better. Yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: than Sam Darnold did in the first half and twenty
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: eight nothing game over.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing stuff.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Greg Bell's with us our Seahawks insider. Of course, you
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: can follow Greg at the Neewstreamune dot com his coverage
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: of the Seahawks and at g Bell Seattle on x.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: If there was one downside for the Seahawks roster coming
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: out of that game is that Ernest Jones left midway
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: through the contest, and there's just some questions about just
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: how serious that knee injury.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: What's the update.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Mike McDonald said he had no update yesterday, that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Jones was getting tests on that knee and that he
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: will probably have more on Wednesday. But I will tell
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you this, and this is helpful. This is when it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: good to go to the games. On the road, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this on the television broadcast,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: but I was watching through the binoculars on the sideline.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's the worst press box. Daniel Snyder
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: hates the Media's hates the DC media, so he put
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the press box low corner end zone. I might as
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: well have been in the parking lot, so I couldn't
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: see a lot, but I couldn't see the sideline if
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the game's not played. I had a good view of that,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and Ernest Jones was jumping up and down on that
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: supposedly very injured knee in the second half and was
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the biggest cheerleader on the sideline. He was on the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: edge of the sideline and almost intercepted a pass with
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Greek wooing that Woolan broke up on third down. He
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: looked okay. He was running up and down the field
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: running after interceptions. He didn't look I mean, you would
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: think if someone who was really seriously injured, he would
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: probably be sitting out on the back of the sideline
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: on the bench, and he was the opposite of that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: So that's a good sign that he's not severely injury.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I ask after the game has it looked like you
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: might miss a game or two. McDonald said that was possible,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: but they still needed some more tests to be done.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But just judging anecdotally from the second half of what
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I saw on the sideline, I don't think he's gonna
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: be had a long time. Gee.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: Josh Job ended up getting concussed with some I think
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: it was some friendly fire that he ended up getting
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: hit by his own guy. But I am wondering if
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: how he's going, how he's progressing possibly and if that
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: changes maybe some things that they were thinking about doing
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: today is considering it's a trade deadline.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rieke Wollin's got twenty two lives like two and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: a half times more than a cat does. The injury
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to Job makes wooln They need him, and they will
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: keep wollen engaged and he will feel needed because every
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: time they're about to bench him, something happens. And he
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: was benched at the start of the game in Washington.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: They used him as a dimeback for about four snaps
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in the first half, and then Josh Job runs into
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Tayo Katta and his concustom done and they need Wooling
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to play corner and way concussions go, everyone's different. Willing
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: himself had a concussion a couple of weeks ago that
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: he missed the game four, So it's possible Job won't
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: play Sunday against Arizona, and that would put Riek Willen
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: back in the starting lineup opposite of Devin Witherspoon with
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Nick even Warry in the middle. That's Nickel. The game
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: began in Washington as I thought it would, Eman Warrior.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: They're not taking him out of nickeol. He's been too
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: good there. So they had Witherspoon and Job Is the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: outside corners with Emon Warry in the middle. But they
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: were on pace in that game. Guys to play more
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Nickel than i've seen, I mean, excuse me, more dime
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: six defensive backs than i've seen McDonald play in two years,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: because Wollen was coming in in the very first series
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: on third and long, and the next third and long
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: in the second Commander series dime. Again. They rarely played dime,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: but they were going to go dime a lot against
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Washington until Job got hurt. So if Joe doesn't come back,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: they will put Woolen in, and I don't think he's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: going to be traed I don't think he's gonna be
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: traried anyway. If you're the sixth best cornerback on the team,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: there's not a strong market for somebody to come get
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: you and give up something the Seahawks would want to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: take to trade them. Boy. Mafe to me is a
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: more likely target, as I mentioned last week, more attractive
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: at a more coveted position of edge rusher. His just
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: production has been so low this season that I can't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: see a team giving up anything that the Seahawks would
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: want to take for him either today.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: And yet I can't imagine getting through this deadline with
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: a season going as well as it's going without John
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Schneider doing something before one o'clock today. So are you
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: getting any read as to what he might add to
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: this football team before the deadline?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Well, he's looking where I said he'd looked, and I've
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: been told at guard and the interior defensive line is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: what they're targeting. And then I got asked on another
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: show last week about Wyatt Teller from Cleveland, thirty one
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: years old guard. His contract is an't as soon as
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you'd see a contract ending. That's the guys that get
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: traded right at the deadline, because then you become rental
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: players for the team acquire them, and you're hoping the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: team that chips them off you can steal a draft
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: pick from somebody. You aren't going to resign at the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: end of the year anyway. I will tell you this
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: about why. I tell her they if they wanted to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: go that route, they've got half the locker room. The
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Seahawks do that, they're going to have to smooth over
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: over because Wyatt Teller is still public enemy number one
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: in that locker room for what he did to Chennan
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Wosu in the preseason game in twenty twenty four summer,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the chop block in the third preseason game. There are
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of dudes, including Mike McDonald, who did not
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: think that was kosher. And you mentioned the name why
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Teller To this day of the sea Hawks loock room
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and the defensive players and Nuosu has loved in there,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: they don't like him. Som Snyder would have to go
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: into that room and do a cell job to pull
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that off. I don't think he's could do that. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: hear Evan Neil from the Giants. Evan Neil has been
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: inactive for four weeks from the Giants offensive line. If
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you watch the Giants offensive line and you're not playing
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: for it, you're not very good. He was a right
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: tackle for them. He was a seventh overall pick in
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. The Giants pass actually passed on Charles
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Cross and took Evan Neel instead, and that's how the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Seahawks got Charles Cross. If you're benched by the Giants
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: offensive line, you're probably not worth playing for the Seahawks
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: offensive line. So I don't think they would make that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: trade either. That would really surprise me. Having said all that,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: they're trying on everything. They've called the Raiders a couple
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: times about Max Crosby. I don't think Pete Carroll and
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the regime there would trade Crosby at this point. But
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: if that somebody like that became available, we'll see. It
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me if they don't get anything done at
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: But they're trying overarching.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, when it comes to the run game, you've
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: talked a lot about how that needs to kind of
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: they need to figure that out. And yet to some degree,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: the way in which they looked against a subpar team
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: in Washington, I'll give them that the way in which
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: the run game looked, it still is not clicking. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: yet they first whatever reason, they can figure out a
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: way to go out there in twelve personnel.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: They look heavy, look like they're going to run.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: They run it enough that it has to be respected,
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: and then the passing game just looks absolutely open all
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: over the place. So, I mean, could this recipe work
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: even if they don't really find their footing when it
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: comes to the running.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, because this first half of the season, Bucket
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: has accomplished what Clint Kubiak and Mike McDonald want to.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: One of the things they want to accomplish in the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: run game is an identity that we're going to run
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and that the rest of the league is going to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: honor the run. And they have done that. They run
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: more than anybody in the league. They just do it
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: worse than anybody in the league second worst. Going into
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the game, they were thirty first in yards per carry,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: but they were number one in rush attempts, So they're
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: running more than anybody. So the defensive game plan and
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: then in the game you have to honor that, and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that has opened up the pass game and that has
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: made Sam Donald a better play action quarterback, so that
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: has the run game has accomplished that. I'm just still
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to die on this hill. Apparently, if they
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: don't run the ball against San Francisco and the Rams,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: they're not winning division period into story, So they've got
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to run the ball more effectively against those teams. They
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: can beat the Washingtons in Houston's and Jacksonville's running the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: way they are. The question remains, we're going to get
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: it answered here in two weeks. Can they beat the
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Rams and forty nine ers running the ball this way?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: And so far the answer has been no.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: We'll talk more about this tomorrow when we have more time,
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: but thirty seconds, would Mike McDonald rather face the Cardinals
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: with Kyler Murray or Jacoby Brissett this week?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Well, Jacoby Brissette, no doubt. But having said that, we
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: have a long history here in Seattle of watching teams
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: with journeymen backup quarterbacks, especially they play for the Cardinals
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: come here and beat them, and you just go down
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the list that has happened multiple times of guys who
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be starting that have come in and beaten the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Seahawks on their home field. It's a different team of course,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: different regime with Mike McDonald, but Murray presents I know
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Murray hasn't played very well at times and it's turned
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: it all over, but he presents so many more problems
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: in preparation and keys and reads. They would be much
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: more go get the quarterback and just straight up field
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: rushing at Chacoby Presett. That's not to say that they
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: would have a picnic, but they would much rather face
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Jacoby Prissett if they would, if they told you the truth.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's a great idea for you today, a Bell
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: family birthday picnic. Since you were on a plane so
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: much on your birthday today, go for a picnic out
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: in the middle of a driving rainstorm somewhere.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Seattle in November. That'st if only my wife
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: didn't have some place to be an all day at
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a word, but yeah, let's do that. I would have
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to probably be picnic by myself. Everybody else was busy,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: but I appreciate it. Thank you, all right, we'll talk
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: to you tomorrow, not right, Happy Tuesday.

• 19:33
  Speaker 6: began yesterday that, let's face it is one of the
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: most glorious things that can ever happen to human beings.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM Waters of basically Heaven.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: It was a soft landifer, it really was.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: You didn't even I think those are the greatest moments
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: to find that you're in the lap of, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: one of the greatest periods of every year. Hotstove, It's
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: already here sorry, here, hot stove's already here.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: That's right. Maybe you're not ready for hot stoves season,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: but it is here.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: It's the it's all around us. Free agency has already begun.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: It used to be that there was a date where
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: that had to kick in, not anymore Major League Baseball.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Soon as the last pitch of the World Series has
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: been thrown, then the offseason begins.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Free agency begins.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Nobody can sign until Thursday, and nobody will sign probably
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: until like April. But you, yeah, you are a free
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: agent as of the last out of the World Series,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: and players can actually sign with new teams by this Thursday,
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: two days from now.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Can you believe it? We're there, We're already here. Yeah. Yeah,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I don't get as excited now. I am excited.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: I want some moves to be made for our local
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: squad here, obviously, but I did. I did find myself
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: get quite excited when I realized that Garver is a
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: free agent.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: He's already. We already know it. We don't have to
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: wait any longer. Yeah, he's gone.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, still bummed that we're paying him to leave. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: don't understand that part, but I guess that was in
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: the contract. So here's a million dollars. Don't ever put
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: our uniform on again.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Cool? Yeah, I really I realized that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: I realized that the destination sometimes the journey is sometimes
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: even better than the destination. But I kind of like
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: realizing that we're already in it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like over the Grandma's house. Oh yeah,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: you know the old poem, Oh Grandma's house. Yeah, we're
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: just like there. We didn't even know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: It was like halfway up the river and then we
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: were already there. Grandma lives at the beginning of the river.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: That's where we are with a free agency. Uh so
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: free agent signings can start on Thursday. Options have to
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: be decided by Thursday. Mitch Garver Mariners. I mean, I
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: don't want to.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Pick on Mitch.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: He might be listing while at least packing as you all,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: but they didn't take very long. That was going to
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: be pretty obvious. They are not picking up an option
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: that he had, so Mitch Garver will not be back
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: next season. But they do have to decide or at
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: least Jorge has to decide Polonko by Thursday as well.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: So that is something of note. I would imagine that
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: contract's getting ripped up, and he'll enter free agency and
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the Mariners will be there to try to reel him
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: back in and should have a little bit of an
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: advantage in doing so. But they could lock him up
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: before Thursday to an extension, or he becomes a free
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: agent on Thursday because they weren't able to get a
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: deal done. The trade market is openly open right now,
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: like presently, you can make a trade right now in
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: Major League Baseball.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: That ended as soon as the World Series ended. Well
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: that's that block. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I do
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: I think just on the Polonco front, I think you're right.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: They probably just said now that's he's not going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: accept that obviously, or he just said no, I'm not
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: going to accept that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I would like them to kind of get on this quicker,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: I don't want to be waiting around for a whole
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: bunch of stuff and letting all of the pieces that
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: we had last year go out and test free agency.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: I would I would hope they could lock one of
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: these guys up. Poll Uncle might be the easiest one.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know how I feel.
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: First off, Like with the nailor thing, I think it's
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: the same that everybody feels let's do it, let's do it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: Wise't I was even asking yesterday likes oh okay, good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: So I have permission to just be scrolling Twitter constantly
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: to see if this happens at any given point.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it as somebody steeped and stove.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: I mean, it gets the process gets longer and longer
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: every year. I mean, guy, I mean used to be
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: that the Winter meetings there was all sorts of activity.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: You're lucky to get two or three moves by the
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Winter meetings, so agents just stretch this out. I do
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: believe that they should learn something from the National Football
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: League and free agency frenzy, and the NBA has a
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: day in which they're free. I think that there should
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: be a trade deadline in the off season as well,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: and then let people have a true offseason, not worrying
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: about dealing with agents and everything else. I think that
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: they should put like a January fifteenth trade deadline and
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: watch how much activity takes place in the off season.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: I think it would be great for the fans. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: think it would be great for the players to not
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: have to be dealing with business the entire offseason, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: then you get a true couple months rest before you report,
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: or a month rest before you report to spring training,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: and get it started all over again. I would like
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: to see it, but it's not in place right now,
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: so don't expect A Naylor's signing anytime soon. And he
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: has earned the right to test the free agent market,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: so I'm sure he's looked forward to that his entire
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: baseball playing life, so he's gonna test it. But hopefully
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: we've got the leg up. Hopefully we've got a significant
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: advantage over there.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: We'll see, hopefully, because I just hope that he loves
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: it here because we love him.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: All right, let's play some factor fiction.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: It's your shot at our weekly thousand and the ten
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars grand prize. It's fact door fiction, probably presented
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Fact door Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: three KJR FM.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: All right, Bucky's picked today in fact or fiction?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: What's your thinking?
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna stick with my old school strategy, even though
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: it didn't work. Came back to haunt me last week,
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: taking a big favorite.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: This week.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go ahead and take the Bills. I think
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: that they are one of the best teams out there.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: They're playing against the Dolphins at Miami. They're gonna have
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: to lay nine and a half points, but I'll go
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: ahead and lay nine and a half points.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I said it last week.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: I said the Chargers would beat the Titans by nine
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: and a half or more points. That was the same spread,
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: and they maybe, yeah, that's what it was anyways, and
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: they ended up giving up a field goal towards the
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: end of the game that cost me. In that situation,
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: I think the Bills roll over the Dolphins. So give
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: me the Bills minus nine and a half at Miami.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: All right, So the Buffalo Bills.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Bucky just loves his strategy road favorite heavy road favorites.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: He's riding it into Miami this week. Miami doesn't seem
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: like a defeated team. Are You're not worried about the
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: trap like coming off a huge win and then not
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: being able to get up for the next week's opponent.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: No, the thing I'm worried about is that it's a
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: division and so the Dolphins are going to come out
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: to fight, right They're gonna come out and do their
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: best for as long as they can, and I just
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: don't think that they're going to have enough.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Well, how much can you really fight with fins anyway?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, strategy is the complete opposite of mine. He's the
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: heavy road favorite guy. I'm the home underdog girl.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I'm really not Necessarily, I don't even think
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: of it as heavy road favorite. I have just heavy favorite.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: I'm going like what I think is one of the
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: best teams against what I think is one of the
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: worst teams.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Any cover you can to cover that, yep, I think. So,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: whether it's home or away.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: We need we need wins, all right. So Bucky's bills pick.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: They have to win by ten points or more in
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Miami next week for Bucky to be right. If you
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: agree with that, pick text fact to four nine four
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: five to one. That's fact to four nine four five one.
• 27:18

• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Don't give away everything, don't get away all myself. Okay, yeah,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: yeah that's your plan. Yeah I'm going to get in.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I'm going to hang out with Clay Martin and the
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: two of us are going to show up and one
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: of us is.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Going to be an imposter. Yeah all right.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: Uh, well, we got a lot to discuss here today
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: on the radio program. But one of the things we
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: didn't get to yesterday that I did want to discuss
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: because apparently this was a very important thing to Ashley
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: and Softy and Cam Cleveland and so many Husky fans.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: They want to be ranked, even though they hate the polls.
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: It wasn't actually that important to me.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to note that it happened.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I think you've expressed Bucky. Correct me
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: if I'm wrong. It's pretty important to you. It bothers
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: you when you Dub's not ranked and you think they
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: should be.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: I said specifically this time that they need to win
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: to earn the spot, and they hadn't earned it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, Yeah, that's a good That's an important clarification,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: because I do believe they should be ranked right now.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: I think for the first time that they should be
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: ranked this season and twenty fourth, I would actually say,
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know why.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Tennessee is ahead of them. I'll give people there three
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: losses for Tennessee.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Yes, they faced good sec competition for all those three losses,
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: but they don't have a good win on their schedule
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: on their resume. Washington now has a good win on
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: their resume, a convincing win at home over Illinois. Also,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: there's a very important factor in these rankings that so
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: many people have so much trouble with, and I think
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: they actually do a pretty good job.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm like the only person.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: That feels but they don't have a bad loss either,
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: and that is a big deal as well. So I
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: think Washington at six and two taking care of business
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: where they need to take care of business, getting a
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: win over a then ranked and not any longer ranked,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: but a good team in Illinois, and your only two
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: loss at Michigan, which is nothing embarrassing, and at home
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: against the number one team in the country who've been
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: beating up everybody that they face, also not embarrassing.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I think this is the right spot for them.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I think they finally cracked it at the right time,
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: and I think twenty third twenty fourth is where Washington deserves.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: To be right now. I'm with that. I think it
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: would have been.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, I guess I wouldn't have really cared if
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: they were somewhere twenty third twenty fourth, you know, after
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: I don't know whooping up on Rutgers, but at that point,
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: once you lost to Michigan, you would have then been
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: out right. But then if you rebounded and beat Illinois.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: So I mean, to me, it's you're kind of talking
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: about Okay, you're in a group that's being recognized as
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: all right, You're in the conversation for being able to
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: possibly you know, roll and go on a run and
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: maybe be able to get into the playoff.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I think they deserve to be in that conversation. And
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: yet I don't.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: I guess I just don't really get all worked up
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: over whether you're just right on the outside or just
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: right on the inside. But I do think this is
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: where they they belong to be. I mean, you did
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: beat a team that was ranked Illinois. I don't think
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: Illinois is great, but they're definitely better than any of
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: the teams they've beaten up to this.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Point what I can Cleveland gets worked up about it.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Though, yeah a lot more than a Gingers actually goes
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: a little bit.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: But uh and Softy was angry about it last week.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Softy likes to just be yess gets angry about it
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: a lot.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: Yet I think a lot of dog fans just cannot
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: handle not being ranked when.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: The should be ranked.
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: Because we talked about this obviously before the Michigan game,
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: and that they weren't ranked and that, and I was
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: in agreement, Yeah, go on the road, win the game,
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: and then you'll be ranked, and then everybody can calm
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: down and nobody has to worry about it. But if
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: you're not winning you know, like, you had an opportunity
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: against Ohio State, you didn't win. I understand that's a
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: really good team. So and but you have the opportunity
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: against Michigan you didn't win. So now I think you've
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: earned it.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the poll's pretty damn accurate right now.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: I think they've earned the spot they've got.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can be ahead of Michigan.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: They you and Michigan can't be ahead of USC because
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: USC destroyed them and you all have two losses on
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: your resume.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's a.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: Pretty good ap pole that we're staring at right now.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: But of course, the College Football Playoff rankings come out
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: tonight and we'll see how similar they are to what
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: the polls have ranked. But I think U Dubbs put
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: themselves in a position at six and two where you
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: have no margin for error. You've better not now collect
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: one of those bad losses over the course of the
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: next three weeks because you can. And then, of course,
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: if you do want to get into the playoff, you
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: absolutely have to beat Oregon and that's not going to
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: be an easy task.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: So it's there for you, it's there for the taking.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: As Softy point out last week, it's not a guarantee
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: even if you're ten and two that you're going to
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: make the playoff, But I think you got a pretty.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Good shot at it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: You've got a shot at it as we sit here
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: two thirds of the way through the college football season.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: You've got a shot at it. And who cares where
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: you were ranked all season long? Just keep chipping away,
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: you know, chopping wood, getting up there, and then make
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: sure you're nine and two when you take on the Ducks,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: and then you've got the world before you.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, ultimately it's like where would you rather be?
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: Would you rather be Washington right now? That hasn't been
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: ranked and not appreciated or given respect, and yet you
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: can run the table when two games you most certainly
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: should win. Make sure that you take care of business
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: against a kind of a Heck jeckl and Hyde UCLA,
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: and then give your on yourself an opportunity at home
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: against your rivals to basically shock the world and then
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: maybe be in there.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Would you rather be that?
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: Or would you rather be Penn State that in week
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: one and two and three was considered one of the
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: best teams in the country and now their season's done, right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: They're just playing out the string to some degree.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: And before somebody shouts at they're radio. See the polls
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: are stupid. Now, that's kind of how a college football
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: season goes. Yeah, and Penn State played or again for
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: everything thing Oregon could handle. And we all recognize Oregon
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: as at least a very good and maybe a great
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: team this year. So Penn State gave them everything they
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: could could have very easily come away with a win.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: I heard one analyst, I think it was Petros who
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: said on another show that that Penn State lost to Oregon,
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: and this was at the time, was worth three losses. Wow,
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: Like losing that game took so much out of them
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: that when they showed up for UCLA the next week,
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: they got defeated, and then they lost again because they
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: couldn't then recover from the UCLA humiliation that they suffered,
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: and it's turned into several more losses for the Penn
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: State Nitney Allons.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: And so it might have been.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: I mean that one loss to Oregon pretty much was
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: like six losses and fire your head coach.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: All in one breath.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: So they were, on paper a very good team, one
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: of the best teams in college football. By that Oregon loss,
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: that realization that have we done it again, That we
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: got the team to win on paper, but we can't
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: win the big game, seem to just unravel them. Certainly,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: if it didn't the Ucla game, the Ucla loss absolutely
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: unraveled them. So I don't think that's the poll's fault.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: I think that's Penn State's fault. Penn State just fell
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: apart in the middle of the year and there's no
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: excuse for it. That's why James Franklin got fired, all right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Coming up next, Jean Star at tort Sports Radio
• 36:25
