• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the sixth round pick the Seahawks took a week and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a half two weeks ago. Emmanuel Henderson Junior. We all
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: are expecting him to be a gunner and a special
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: teams for us. But we're gonna talk to his position
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: coach at Kansas about Emmanuel Henderson, the wide receiver.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We'll do that tomorrow.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: We're still working on far and Lawley loalg the TSN

  Speaker 1: Once a week and said Monday's was it was what
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we were hoping for Monday. Ye're still working on. There's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: lots of recap with him. Yeah, I don't know if
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we have enough time for a twenty minute, said we
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: have to do two segments with him.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: We get the dump button work, and I think, yes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We are. We are fully We're good to go. There,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: no more slip ups.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Favorite when he came on last week in a very
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: colorful conversation with him today on the show, could the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs be the first opponent on opening night
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: for the NFL season in Lumanfield for the Seahawks? And
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: sometimes I would say do it. We're talking about why
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that chances that may have gone out. Well, we'll talk
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit real quick about the NHL Draft lottery,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: which I think was rigged in Toronto's favor, and give
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you some anecdotal evidence and.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Why it reminds me of Patrick Ewing.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Is that a name you remember?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, you know space Jam helped out a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: little bit, but absolutely I.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Didn't want to date myself, but yeah, that ANHL draft
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: lottery last night reminded me of Patrick Ewing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'll explain that at after the break.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk a depth about the minimal Mariners
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: offense and how that the Mariners are sending themselves to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: losses with their pitching rules that they have.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But yet they break them. Monday night they.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Broke one and it worked, and they didn't break it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: last night and it failed. I'm going to talk about
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that in depth. Ten forty five, we're going to talk
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: about the changes I'm hearing may becoming in college football scheduling,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and it'll apparently will affect my Army Navy game.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It has to do with the College Football.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Playoff, expanding the schedule, the transfer portal, and the Army
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Navy game, my beloved event. We'll talk about that at
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: ten forty five. Before Luke E. Strewing joined us four
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: nine four or five to one that the commodage text
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: line is we have every day we read back at
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: eleven thirty your text and be at a part of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the show and yesterday. I mean, we're still getting texts
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: from yesterday's conversation about coaches, youth sports, high school sports,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and parents, the entitled parents that are driving quality coaches
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: out of the youth in high school sports room. A
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: really fascinating conversation started with John Manley of the News Tribune,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the Order wining prep writer Washington State Sports Writer of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the Year, who was on our show yesterday talking about
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the gig Harbor High School girls basketball coach who was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: fired two weeks ago by the athletic director and then
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: reinstated by the district yesterday and all kinds of parent
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: objections and then parents rallying to support instead of parents,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: parents and coaches, coach. Parents are making decisions on who
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: coaches and who doesn't. And we talked about this at length.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: If you missed it, go to the iHeartRadio app or download,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: or just go to ninety three KJI dot com and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you can hear that interview with John in our discussion,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: which sparked a lot. I mean, I've done this now
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: with nine ten months in the first go around, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a month or so in this new iteration of this show,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and I haven't gotten that many live in the moment
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: text about a subject that we're talking about other than
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Greg you stink type of stuff. Actually subject matter topical
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: stuff that I got yesterday. Now I'm just kidding about that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: A lot of positive comments for Chris and me since
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we got back on the show and this is the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: new ten am the Noon thing, and thank you.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: We do appreciate all of that as well.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: All right, real quick, why could the Chiefs Now everyone's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: been everyone. Most people have been summarising that it's probably
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: gonna be the Chicago Bears the Niner for the opening
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: opponent for the Seahawks to kick off the NFL season
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: on that Wednesday night, September the ninth. It's not gonna
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: be the Saints for the Rams or forty nine ers
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: because they're playing each other the next night on a
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Thursday in Australia. And so the Dallas Cowboys are possible
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: there doing the Patriots in the Super Bowl rematch. The
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, most people think, because they are an up
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and rising team Caleb Williams, they won the NFC West
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: excuse me North last season, that that would be an
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: interesting big market opponent. Well, the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: said that Patrick Mahomes' rehabilitation from his torn ACL in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: December is quote way ahead of schedule, and that the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: two time NFL MVP is quote in a good position
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: unquote to participate in OTA's later this month.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So could the.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: League see the Chiefs, says, back in play as the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Seahawks opponent. They know that Patrick Mahomes, if he's doing
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: OTAs in May, that would pretty much say that he's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: going to play in week one, would be available to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: play in week one? Does that put the Chiefs back
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in play? For the schedule makers? The schedule is supposed
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to come out, I've seen now I've been I'm starting
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to hear from the league that it may not come
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: out to the week of May eighteenth. Oh wow, yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: about a week later. And the schedule maker for the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: NFL apparently is presenting a couple options to Roger Goodell.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Some of those options include whether the Steelers have Aaron
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Rodgers are not?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're winning a lot. It's you want for
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what you mentioned regarding the Chiefs and the Seahawks. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: think of ratings having Mahomes versus the team star prile Seahawks.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's gonna bring in eyes, like, are the Chiefs back? Yeah?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Would you do that over the Bears? Absolute the Patriots? Yes, yes,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: there's If there's one team I would want to see
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks face to start their season, that isn't those
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: three teams you named. It's the Chiefs, if it's the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: If it's Mahomes. If it's Mahomes, yes, not to mention, Oh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker revenge game. Oh you guys didn't want me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You want to pay me this amount? This is why.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So it's a measuring stick game for both sides. Are
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs back? That's gonna be the early like, listen,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs win, it's gonna be the early thing. Oh
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: are they back? The Seahawks win? Wasn't the fluke? They're
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a really good team. So you can already see the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: spin cycle after week one. Hell Monday Morning quarterback with
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you and Hugh, it's gonna be all Mahomes look like
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he went in the time machine. He never got hurt, right,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Or it could be Mike McDonald had him looking like
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: he looked at a Super Bowl against the Eagles a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: few years back. So I agree with you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I was thinking it was gonna be the Bears all
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: this time, I'm on Matta Williams. But now if Mahomes
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: is in OTAs in May, come on, he's playing right,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: He's going to be ready for Week one. And I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: would think that these NFL schedule makers are going to
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: go back and go who whoa whoa waite a minute,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe not Bears, how about Chiefs. Yeah, those kind of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: things are why maybe the schedule will come out a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: week later than we anticipated.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Perhap.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing perhaps May eighteenth, that week for the release
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: of the schedule four to come a Dodge text line,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: who would you like to see the Seahawks play?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: First? They probably wanted fans want to see some ass
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: on Cardinals. Yeah, they don't. They want to see a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: team get beat down, and they're just like, yeah, we
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: wont seventy to nothing week one. Me and you Greg
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: were like, you know, why don't you bring in the Chiefs.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That'd be a great that'd be a great game. NBC
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: will not go for the Cardinals. They trade away their
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: two corners, So now like, okay, what are you doing there?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think this would be and you don't
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: see the Chiefs, but what every three years or something
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: crazy only.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Every eight years do they come to Seattle. Every four
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: years the Seahawks play them in.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's one of those matchups where you still have Travis Kelsey,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes like, oh, they got Kenneth Walker. Now it's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the intrigue is there? I would say, I agree, we'll
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: see what happened.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Mahomes is back. I think that's what it's going to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: end up doing. The NHL Draft lottery last night, Toronto
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: won it despite having one of the lower odds to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: do it. They were the fifth highest odds. They hunted
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: only eight percent chance going in based on their record
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in the regular season. It reminds me of the Knicks
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in nineteen nineties. The early nineteen nineties, I had a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: really terrible season. Patrick Ewing was coming up from Georgetown,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the dominant center. He and Ralph Sampson used to be
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: just epic battles in college basketball. And I know I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: dating myself to some of you, but I'm not to others.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: And when Patrick Ewing was going to be the bonafid
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: number one pick, the Knicks won the lottery, and the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: next of course at New York and the NBA wanted
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to prop up It's Dan Stern Daniel Stern, the NBA
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: commissioner at the time. David Stern wanted to pump up
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the New York team and the biggest media market by
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: putting Patrick Ewing there. They got the number one pick.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: It was Patrick Ewing the next go to the NBA
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Finals a couple of years after that. That's what reminded
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: me of yesterday with Toronto winning the Maple Leafs the Yankees,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the knicks of the NHL in the city that the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: NHL is headquartered in Toronto, wouldn't put it past Gary
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Bettman at all to have nudged the ping pong balls
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Toronto's way. Mike Benton was on with Chuck pal about
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: half hour forty five minutes ago, explaining the NHL has
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit of precedent here of shading things towards
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: teams that need Well.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: If I could put it this way, it's kind of
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: funny how it worked out, Shuck. I mean, I don't
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: want to go there and be that guy and assume
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: that it basically is rigged, but it's just kind of
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: funny how it works out. Where you know, you have
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the Maple Leaves, who you know might be this close
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to tearing it down. Ten years ago, they got Austin Matthews.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: All of a sudden boom, they fall into the first
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: overall pick and moved up from five, and they're basically
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: getting the first Riots here to Gavin McKenna. Then you
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: have Chicago getting Connor Badard. Then you have you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: San Jose trying to get back on track with no
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Joe Thornton, no Patrick Marlowe. And you know, they had
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to go through some lean years, but they got map
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: In Celabrini. But then I even go back to when
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh was nearly bankrupt and were on the verge of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: moving about twenty years ago, and then they wind up
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: with a guy moving on from Mario Lemu to a
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: guy named Sidney Crosby.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And then you okay, enough with the Penguin slander. He's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: right about that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It's been twice that the Penguins were about to leave Pittsburgh.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: When I was grown up, they were going to go
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to Portland and move into the old Memorial Coliseum. And
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: then Mary Lemu arrived at Pittsburgh and save Pittsburgh hockey,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and then the Penguins were rumored to be moving again,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: maybe just Charlotte maybe to Nashville time they didn't have
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: a team and Sidney Crosby arrived to save it again
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and Mary olymw became a team owner.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Leagues can do this.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: They can influence events that can result in franchises strengthening
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: and propping themselves up. The Mayle Beliefs have only missed
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the playoffs twice in the last eleven years, yet they've
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: won the NHL Draft Lottery both those times. They got
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Austin Matthews. Last time, they're gonna get Gavin McKenna, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: presumed number one pick this time. Chris is a point
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: of comparison. The old Phoenix Arizona Coyotes missed the playoffs
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: eighteen times. You know how many times they won the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: NHL Draft Lottery as many times as you and I did.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Zero.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Come on, Phoenix was always a little bit of a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: black sheep of the NHL and arena issues and the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: NHL trying to strong arm a new arena deal and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the Phoenix in the valley. No nobody went for the municipalities,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and then they moved them the Utah Mammoth. They didn't
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: win one draft latter in eighteen tries. Toronto's won two
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: and eleven.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Come on, I mean the ping pong balls can be
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: weited just so.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Anyway, the Kraken at seven, that's not exactly a top
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: tier pick. Like the guy you're gonna pick gonna be
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: in the NHL tomorrow. It's not Gavin McKenna, it's not
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Connor Bdard for the Chicago Blackhawks refusually, it's not Austin
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Matthews from ten years ago with the Maple Leafs. So
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: at seven, you may not get your immediate impact guy
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: that you need, a scorer that you need to change
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the Seattle cracking franchise.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Do you trade it?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And Mike Benton and Chuck talked about do you trade
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: it to get Austin Matthews who may want out of
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Toronto which is starting over in every place, but Austin Matthews.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: It's got a new GM coach, Berube might stay. That
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: whole GM fiasco. I don't know if you saw the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: press conference. Chris of the reporter in Toronto who went
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: right after the president that he went after said she
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: it was a failed former Arizona Coyotes GM who got
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: caught by the league cheating and holding tryouts outside of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the HL combine and this guy went in, why did
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you pick Everyone I've talked to in the league, I've
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: talked to twe actually actually specific I've talked to twenty
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: people in the league. Nineteen of them said this is
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: a bad hire. Why did you hire this guy? Nobody
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: else in the league? Who did you talk to that
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't talk to? That's what the question was.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: That is talk about drop on your nuts? Good lord man?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: That is aggressive. So this is a beat guy drun out.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He did his research. You go to someone talking like that,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you you have, you have answers on top of answers.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine somebody in the Seattle market? Did you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: do that for John Schnyder? John, Why did you do this?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I know for a fact the twenty people, nineteen of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: them basically saying you're bad at your job. That's what
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you're telling him, You're not good at your job. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: did this research and found out this guy is not
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: even good enough, didn't you? Jodge got mad when I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: asked him what his quarterback in the future play. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Greg,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, man, we just come on, is that a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: real question you asking us right now? Uh? Yeah, I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: am I'm curious, what are your thoughts. Oh, that was great.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: If you haven't seen online about the Make the Leaf
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Shutle mag it was great. It was really good. It
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was really good. Uh four nine four five one. It's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: coming out to text line.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I'm already getting one response and it's a it's a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: valid point two six. Mahomes is just back from injury
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and the NFL is going to put him up against
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the seahawks number one ranked defense.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Gam right, money talks, baby, you know what. You know what.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes brings eyes and you're go and watch too,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: just like the rest of us. So it's okay, Hurd
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: or not if he on that rafter as healthy. Greenlit
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a Seahawks Week one Chiefs Seahawks Wednesday night football. Get
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: her done. I think you're right about that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: We'll reing back your text at eleven thirty up next
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the Mariners.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: They have such a small margin for winning skip then
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: we could go fast. I don't even know if people
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: would care. They were like, you know what, Chris and Greg,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we understand.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm going to bring it up for not
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to just bludgeon you all with more of the negative,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: but to give you some perspective on these rules the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Mariners have about using relief pictures am starting pitchers for
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: that matter, based on what George Kirby was doing last night.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And Andres Muno's and non safe situation.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next eleven o'clock Easter League of
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Athlon Sports talk about the NFL lost Kim who the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Seahawks should, whether the Chiefs and the league should throw
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes to.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: The Wolves in week one.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: He'll be coming on at eleven o'clock. Thanks for joining us.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Plenty more to come on ninety three point three kJ RFM.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Now back to Greg Bell and Christopher Kidd on your
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: home for the Huskies, Kracket and the twelfth Man Sports
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM, loving back.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: On Wednesday, the Greg bellt Show at Christopher Kidd eleven
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: o'clock Luke Easterland, Afron Sports will join us to talk
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: about the NFL and maybe I'll bring up what I
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: brought up last segment. Should the Chiefs now be the Seahawks'
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: first game NFL opening opponent Wednesday, September ninth at lumen Field. Okay,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I won't call it the stadium and Sodo. Someone on
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the text line is complaining about me calling it the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: yard and Sodo, asking to say that it's a stretch.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: The reason I do that is I don't want to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: completely bow down the corporate sponsorship of the yards the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: stadiums that these teams play in. Yeah, everyone knows it's
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Team Mobile Park. Do I need to say tea Mobile
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Park over and over and over again just because they
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: put money up to us to say that? If I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: say the yard and those of us have covered I
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: used to be a baseball beat, right, Are you call
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it the yard? That's just the parlay and so it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the Yard and Soto and I think people can put
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: those dots together. I'm sorry if it offended somebody, but yeah,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I think everybody else understands this Team Mobile Park. But
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the point is that Patrick Mahomes is down back from
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: ACL to the point that the Chiefs are saying there's
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a good shot that he's going to be in Ota
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: practices later this month into next month, and if he's
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: practicing in May and June, it's a pretty good sign
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: he's going to play in September. Right in Week one,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that had been the hesitation most people thought of putting
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs as the Seahawks opponent in the league opener
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: because of Mahomes isn't playing, and there goes the marketability
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and watchability of that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Game, or at least as nationally.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: But if Mahomes is playing, as Chris said, as oh,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: let's see how back Mahomes is.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Put him in the number one defense and the let
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: him out there. Let's see what my McDonald draws up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk also next about college football changes
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: coming and scheduling. Coaches are asking for changes that relate
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: to the transfer portal, and it could relate to the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Army Davy game that Jessman McIntyre and I will be
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: going to again right now, the second week of December,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: second weekend of December this year. It's in New York City.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Were right outside New York City in the meadowlands. Jessman
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: McIntyre will be there for KJR.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, should we do it?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: The Mariners are some of the text lines say just
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: skip the Mariners.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Well again, eighteen and seventeen.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Leads the American League West and the Mariners are seventeen
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: and twenty so two games is all that separates them
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: from first place.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: As bad as they have been, and as.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Chris and I just keep saying, a five and six
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: game winning streak will put them in first place, we
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: start with a bright spot, which is Kirby. Yeah, George kirk,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: let's start there. George Kirby threw eighty eight pitches through
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: seven innings last night. He allowed the best offense in
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: baseball just five hits, two runs. As our friend Luke Arkins,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: even though he's a Navy guy, I like him of
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. Consickly, your newsletter pointed out last night online,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: every out you can get in the late endings from
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a starter is that much better for this Mariner's bullpen.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Think about it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Matt Brash is out injured, Gabe Spier is now out injured.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Those your two primary right and left setup guys, and
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Andres Munos is just getting pummeled, especially if it's not
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: in a non safe situation as it was last night.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: So Luke Arkins's point is stretcher eighty eight pitches, George
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Kirby did he need to come out there?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Andy was efficient?
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seven innings, eighty eight pitches, the best offensive baseball
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: had just five hits and two runs.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Even of Braves.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And it's not like Kirby has like eighty eight some
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: magic ceiling. He's pitched ninety nine pitches this season, ninety six.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: He pitched ninety seven in his previous start.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I think he's evolving from a good young starter to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: potentially that workhorse, like I see it. Maybe I'm wrong again,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I will admit I am still learning this game. But
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: he gives this team a chance every outing that he's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: on the mound. And for whatever reason, maybe is those
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: analytics kicking in I say, leaved or out there? Yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: let him keep going. I just don't understand. It was
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a close game. It's not too too tired. We're not
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: talking ten nine, all right, man, get him. It's a
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: tied game. Let him close, let him finish it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: He can go twenty more pitches scanny even ten even
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: if he gets through the eighth inning. That's one fewer
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: reliever you have to use in a bullpen that's now
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: been injury ravaged and your two primary setup guys are
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: you know who the best reliever is right now? Jose Ferrera,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: the guy that got in the trade for Harry Ford
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: from the Nationals. You traded a top prospect Harry Ford.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: You got Pharreir Farer needed ten pitches last night to
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: get through the Braves in the eighth inning. But the
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: marriage that bullpen rolls and about not having a reliever
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: go through an inning, sit down and get back up
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: and go to another inning, they took him out and
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: I guess who was on.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Guess it was leading off the top of the night
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: for the Braves, Matt Olson.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Do you know what Matt Olsen's lifetime numbers against Jose
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: frerear one for eight with three strikeouts the night before.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So that's their Mariner's rule.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Reliever pitches an inning, they don't want to have him
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: come back in for the next inning, even though it
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: would have been left on left with Olsen, which is
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: another analytics golden rule, right the handedness thing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: They would have been left on left.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: With a guy who's one for eight with three strikeouts,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: one of the top home run hitters in the National League.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, let's not do that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Let's make sure Munjos comes in to start the inning
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: in a non safe situation. Right handed Munos against left
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: hander Olsen. Fourth pitch into the pen where the beer
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: garden is. Braves take a three to two league, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: guess which pitch it was.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: We've been talking about this on this show since I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: came back. The slider guy throws three hundred miles an
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: hour and he keeps getting hit on the slider. He
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the command of the slider anymore, or maybe
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: enough man of the fastball to get people to bite
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: on the slider. He got beat on the slider again,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: home run, Mariners lose. They say they have this role
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: of the guy pitches an ending, not sit and start
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: a new ending. Yet the night before they'd done it well.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson let for to begin the new ending the
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: night before after a scoreless seventh. He began the eighth
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: against Matt Olsen, same situation one night earlier, and Ferrer
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: got Olsen to fly out on his fourth pitch for
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: air exited game. The Mariners happened to win that one
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: because there wasn't a home run leading off the ending.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: The farrera had been taken out of our friend Daniel Kramer,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: the Mariners beat right at for MLB dot Com, who
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: we plan on having on the show pretty soon. A
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: regular Basis wrote that Ferrer has faced Olsen more times
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: than all but two batters in the relievers one hundred
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and sixty one career outing, so they know each other,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: and Frere's gotten the better of him most times, seven
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: out of eight times. Kramer All also pointed out that
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the last two seasons, Munos has entered a game with
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: no men on and no men out start of ending
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: sixty nine times in seventy two outings before extra innings.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: So that's what they do. But get this in save situations.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: This year, Munos has thirty three played appearances against a
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: one to sixty seven batting average allowed five to nine OPS,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: two five to two on base two four to two
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: on base percentage non save situation.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: That's one sixty seven.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: With a two four to two OPS in safe situation
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: non save situations, andres Munos three point thirty three batting
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: average double nine to thirty five OPS double almost double
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: three ninety three on base percentage from two forty two
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: to three ninety three in a non safe situation for
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: on base percentage, man, if for a teina's that much
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: into analytics and numbers and iPads, did they have some
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: kind of block of data they can't get that through
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: their iPad. I mean, I get it your bullpen is injured,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: you don't have leverage, guys, two of the biggest ones.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: You use munos in the ninth there, But why not
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: use munos when the game's tied by having Ferrera pitch
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to Olsen because of their rules about and two nights
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: in a row. And it ain't gonna be early pretty soon.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I know, it's early in the season and you want
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: to rest and pace pitchers and whatnot. It ain't gonna
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: be early too soon. You keep doing this, and when
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: an offense is scoring two runs with only home runs singles,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: remember the last two the game they won on Monday
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: night against the Braves. The only reason they won is
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that j Pre Crawford hit a two run homer and
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Luke Ralely hit a three run homer.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: That was it six Yeah, I don't know, Chris, same
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: old story. It is three hits sixteen? Was it strikeouts? Yes?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: JP Crawford provides that spark and then that was it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And then you talked about munos and the pitching. You know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: it's just, oh my goodness, he got to stop falling
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: behind in these counts because that's what's really killing him.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Like his I believe his first pitch strike rate is down.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: That might be the big root of everything. True, good point.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: If it was two to oh last night to Oulsen
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and then it was two to one and the slider
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: on two to one is the one that got hit.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: For the home run. So it's like he needs to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: stop falling behind the pitch count like that. That pitch
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: strike issues me. That would I think change a lot
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of his game. But it's just I don't know if
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: it's bad luck, it's he's fall behind, he becomes hittable.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: As you mentioned, Oh, the slider's coming. Well, yeah, if
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Greg knows that, what do you who do you think
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is in the box getting ready to smack out of
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the park.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: And if you know the pitch is coming and it's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: only eighty six miles an hour as a major league hitter,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: that's that's a lot different than one hundred, which is
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: what his fastball is.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Seventeen and twenty offensive inconsistency check,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: closer regression check, and guess what they're doing. Finally, not finally,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the last slide wasting elite starting pitching yet again. Now
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Greg's point is correct. There are only a few games
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: out of the first place. It is not as if
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they are ten games out and they need a massive
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: win streak and a team to suck as well. Right now,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: this team is not collapsing. They're just uneven. They gotta
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: figure out how to get a neutral. I don't know
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: what it's gonna take. Maybe some consistency, that's the word.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Find some consistency within what you're already doing. And I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: think this team can get out of this wret now.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Winning today would definitely help. Best team in baseball? Can
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you beat them in a series? That'll tell you everything
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: you need to know about this team right now. I'm
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: not jumping too far ahead. I'm not jumping on them
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: as if they're a bad team. I just want to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: see a little consistency. And they have been up and down,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: so it's a fun roller coaster that they're on this season,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that they can, hoping they can just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: get steady and go straightforward instead of going up and
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: then dropping down immediately, and that's what it's been.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: I'd rather talk about coaches leaving youth sports. Honestly, Well,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: let's get her on.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: You know, my goodness, maybe she'll come on. We should
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: call Michelle Barrett see if she want to do it,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and see if she'd like to. Yeah, we should.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: What I've been talking to Chris Seagan and others about
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: possibly doing this fall for football season is to have
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: a regular weekly high school football segment on our show,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: highlighting the game of the week and maybe get the
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: coaches on.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: It'd be tough to get players on in the middle
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of the school day. We're not touching these players because
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: these kids are going to be on there. I used
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to do that in Ohio High school. Now, if you
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: can go down there, that changes everything. Yes, because when
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: they see you, it's more of a yes. I don't
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: even know what the word is, but seeing someone versus
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: just calling some dude on the radio is like Yeah.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: When I played Ohio high school football, dating myself a lot.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: This was nineteen eighty seven, nineteen eighty eight, we.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Played in front of twelve fifteen thousand people in a
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: town that had twenty five thousand people.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That's a true story.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: If you ever saw All the Right Moves, Tom Cruise's
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: first big movie before Risky Business, that was my child.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: All the Right Moves.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Anyway, they used to call me out of class. I'd
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: get a little note from the office saying WTOV is calling,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the TV station is calling, or the radio station WSTV
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: is calling, and they want to interview about the game
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: on Friday.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: This happened all the time, all the time. It's Ohio
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: high school football. That's just the way it was. And
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: that's a Christ's point. That's unheard of to do that here.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: But anyway, we're thinking about having a regular high school
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: sports segment, but mainly during football season for the big
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: football games coming up four.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Nine, four five, it's coming out to Texan. Is that
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: something you all would like to Is there an appetite
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: for that? I think so. I think a lot of
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: people know. If there is an appetite, you will bring
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: in a new appetite people because they will be excited
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to hear their child on the station. Chriss I like
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: it or not. That's what we're playing on doing up
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: next college football. I'm hearing changes are on the way
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: related to the transfer portal and it might affect the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Army Navy game, the college football playoff. That's next.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Three point three KJRFM, Welcome back to the Greg Belt

  Speaker 2: Show with Christopher Kid Live on ninety three point three
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: KJRFM some Sonics news.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: The return of the Sonics news this morning.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Bloomberg News Randa Williams Anna Eggerton are reporting this. I'll
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: just read the top of the story from Bloomberg News
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: this morning. Samantha Halloway has long been considered the front
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: runner to secure the NBA expansion team in Seattle. Now
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: she's hired investment banks JP, Morgan Chasing Company and Molison
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Company as her advisors. A spokesman for Holloway's company confirmed
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: the move after an inquiry from Bloomberg News. Of course,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Samantha Halloway has been preparing to make a bid on
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: the return of the Sonics and be the principal owner
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: of the team that could fetch as much as tens
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: million with a b dollars in expansion fees to the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: league to rejoin the NBA. The vote on this, the
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: NBA Commissioner Adam Silvers recently said, may not come until
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the fall, but that doesn't mean that the potential owners
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: and bidders aren't lining up, and Samantha Holloway has already
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: formed one roof Sports and Entertainment as the entity that
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: would be the operators of both the Kraken and the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Sonics playing in their owned key here owned building climate Plagerina.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: That's what makes Samantha Holloway's group the most logical and
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: attractive bidders in this process is that they owned the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: building that the Sonics would play in. Remember, the building
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: was built to NBA specifications by Oakview Group, which is
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: headed by Toddlightwiki the Crack and CEO's brother Tim. They
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: build it with the suites, the sideline, none of that
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: key arena stuff that. Remember it was no suites, bad
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: site lines, couldn't put an NHL and team in there
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: without restricted obstructed views.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: None of that.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: This was built the NBA specs and NHL arena by
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the Oakfield Group for this eventuality that is apparently coming
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: maybe in the fall of twenty twenty eight, if they
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: can get the vote secured. But in the meantime while
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: they decide on when they're going to vote on this,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Samantha Holloway is hiring investment banks JP Morgan and Molison
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Company as her advisors. That's the news this morning from
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Blueberg News. Yesterday, the American Football Coaches Association Board announced
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: for calendar changes they're proposing to college football. They want
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: to end conference championship games. Just do away with them.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: The time has run its course. It started in the
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: early nineties with the Southeastern Conference having a conference title game,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: and then a bunch of others TV networks joined in.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: But now with an expanded college football Playoff, there's not
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: much need for one other than cluttering up the schedule
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: with more games chances for guys getting hurt. Both almost
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: in every case of the major every case of the
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: major conferences, both teams, almost always both teams in a
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: conference title game are going to qualify for the expanded
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: college football Playoff. The second thing the Coaches Associations recommending
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: is that they reduce open weeks in the seasons from
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: two to one. A lot of teams, including the Washington
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Huskies last year, have two by weeks. They are now
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: proposing that that week zero, the last weekend of August,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: that there might be a three or four or five game,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: maybe a game in Ireland. They're proposing that the entire
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: college football season begin that weekend and the last weekend
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: of August. The other thing they are proposing the College
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Football Board preserving an exclusive window for the Army Navy
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: game here here, but there may be postseason games to
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: be played on the same day as the Army Navy game,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: so just a three hour window that the game could
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: be the only game going on. Right now, it's the
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: second Saturday in December. I'm hearing Chris that the Army
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Navy game potentially could move to Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: sure how I feel about that. I know how the
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Cadets and the midshipman feel about that. No way, that's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: one of.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: The few times they all get to go home free
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: leave during the academic year.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: The Coaches Board also wants to is recommending that the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: College Football reduced the number a minimum number of days
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: between games to no fewer than six, so that you
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: don't have a Friday game followed by well, let's say
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: a Thursday game, a Saturday game followed by a Thursday
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: night game for television, or even a Friday night game
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: on the West Coast.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Is off that happens in the Big Ten?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: The Coaches Board, why are they doing all this? The
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Coaches Board wants to end the season earlier in January,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: before the two week college Football Transfer Portal ends January sixteenth,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: because now what you have is players. This happened last
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: year with Texas A and M and others Chris Miss
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Sippy players that were in the College Football playoff transferred,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: went into the portal and left the teams while they're
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the playoffs. I mean, that's ridiculous.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: It's just beyond absurd. So they're saying, let's move up
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: the schedule and have the playoffs end before the portal ends,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: so players aren't enticed to do that, And of course,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: what entice is.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: A player to do that? Money?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: And if the boatload of money gets offered, I'm just
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: gonna use a hypothetical. I don't know why I'm gonna.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Use these two schools.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: If LSU offers an old Miss player in the middle
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: of the playoffs tons of money, a couple million dollars
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: to come now or the offer's gone, they signed with
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffen and that has happened. So that's what the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: College Football Coaches Association is trying to avoid with changing
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the schedule. So we could see changes the college football
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: including August games, including earlier playoff games, the Army Navy
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: game potentially going I'm hearing too Thanksgiving weekend top next
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Luke Westerling, oh Easterling the other side of the state.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: He's going to join us.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: He's the f on NFL writer, going to talk about
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: his views of the NFL draft. Who he thought has
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: made strides, Which team in this offseason has made strides
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: toward improving and closing a gap on the Super Bowl
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: champion Seahawks, What he talked about running backs, he's written
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: about running backs in this draft, in particular. I'm going
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: to ask him about Jeddarian Price, the Seahawks taking him
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: in the first round, what he thought of that, and
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: whether Patrick Mahomes's Kansas City Chiefs is likely to be
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the team the Seahawks play on the first weekend, first
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: game of the NFL season in September. All that's coming
• 35:42
