Chuck & Buck 5-14 Hour 4: Rick Neuheisel, bring on the schedules and one last thing. · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: To take his place on the roster Mitch Garver's and
0:03
Speaker 1: the starting lineup as the catcher for the fourth and
0:06
Speaker 1: final game in Houston of this series, and so cal
0:09
Speaker 1: Raleigh officially on the IL and hopefully it's just one
0:13
Speaker 1: of those you know, we need to preserve him. Let's
0:16
Speaker 1: just take the bite ten days. He doesn't need all
0:19
Speaker 1: of that. Hopefully it wasn't something worse that they diagnosed
0:23
Speaker 1: last night that's going to keep him out for even longer.
0:26
Speaker 1: But certainly it has not been the year of Cal
0:28
Speaker 1: to this point. Last year was the year of Cal.
0:30
Speaker 1: This has just not gone according to script.
0:33
Speaker 2: This it hasn't.
0:33
Speaker 3: But I hope that this ten day rest and recovery
0:37
Speaker 3: will be just what he needs and he'll get back
0:38
Speaker 3: to be in cal Raley.
0:40
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some college football before we do that,
0:44
Speaker 1: do want to let you know grand is your keyword
0:46
Speaker 1: this hour at ninety three to three KJR dot com.
0:49
Speaker 1: Enter that for your shot at one thousand dollars a
0:51
Speaker 1: Grand Slam cash. And do know we'll talk more about
0:53
Speaker 1: the NFL schedule release coming up at nine thirty, plus
0:56
Speaker 1: a PGA update at nine twenty. Man. We got a
0:59
Speaker 1: lot to do Rick new Heisl's like, I have a
1:01
Speaker 1: football team, I'm a college football expert. I'm taking time
1:07
Speaker 1: to also be a guest on various shows, and I'm
1:10
Speaker 1: not nearly as busy as you guys sound at the
1:13
Speaker 1: radio station today. So let's say hello to our friend,
1:16
Speaker 1: coach new Well. We always check in with him in
1:18
Speaker 1: the offseason. How are you, sir?
1:21
Speaker 4: I am wonderful. How are my friends there in Seattle
1:24
Speaker 4: holding down the fort?
1:25
Speaker 1: We're trying to hold down the fore. There's a lot
1:27
Speaker 1: going on, Coach. There's always something going on. The sports
1:30
Speaker 1: world is crazy. It gets crazier every single day every
1:33
Speaker 1: single year.
1:34
Speaker 4: It is wild and wooly, and the great Lane Kiffin
1:39
Speaker 4: has a fire starter if there ever was one, and
1:43
Speaker 4: he's back at it again in the world of college athletics.
1:46
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I do want to talk about that and
1:48
Speaker 1: a few other things from college football, but we wanted
1:51
Speaker 1: to check in with you. How are things going with
1:55
Speaker 1: your renegades. How are you enjoying this spring being in
1:58
Speaker 1: the UFL.
2:00
Speaker 4: I am loving it. Coaches loved the coach and I've
2:04
Speaker 4: created great relationships. We started out gangbusters, won our first
2:09
Speaker 4: three games. It has been tough sledding here of late,
2:13
Speaker 4: having lost the last four, this last one in overtime,
2:16
Speaker 4: but we get a chance to be the first professional
2:19
Speaker 4: game on an army base tomorrow night. We're going to
2:22
Speaker 4: play at Fort Hood and in front of all the
2:27
Speaker 4: men and women who are serving on that base. And
2:31
Speaker 4: what an opportunity to hopefully provide some measure of entertainment
2:35
Speaker 4: and see what teams look like. Because when I went
2:39
Speaker 4: and visited the troops Chuck back in two thousand and nine,
2:43
Speaker 4: I went with a bunch of really cool guys, Mac Brown,
2:46
Speaker 4: Jim Tressel, Tommy Tuberville, Jim Grove, Houston, Nutt. We had
2:53
Speaker 4: We had a bunch Troy Calhoun. We had a bunch
2:55
Speaker 4: of really good guys to go. We were blown away
2:57
Speaker 4: about the concept of team. We got to places like
3:01
Speaker 4: Iraq and Turkey and Djibouti, Africa. You talk about teams
3:09
Speaker 4: and wounded veterans that wanted only to get back to
3:13
Speaker 4: their teams. So this is an honor to be able
3:15
Speaker 4: to go and play on this kind of setting and
3:18
Speaker 4: looking forward to it.
3:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm glad you're having fun with it, and
3:23
Speaker 1: we were really excited for this adventure for you and
3:27
Speaker 1: I tell you what you talk about starting off like Gangbusters.
3:30
Speaker 1: You set a record passing record in your very first
3:33
Speaker 1: game with Austin Reid as your quarterback, and we were
3:37
Speaker 1: talking about it on the show off the Air at
3:39
Speaker 1: the time. It's like, man, that new heisl you know,
3:42
Speaker 1: he hasn't lost his touch, you know, just lighting up
3:44
Speaker 1: the scoreboard with the passing game.
3:47
Speaker 4: I needed to leave right after week one.
3:52
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, is it like riding a
3:55
Speaker 1: bike for you? For coaches? I mean I watched John
3:58
Speaker 1: Grudens struggle pretty might being away from the game and
4:01
Speaker 1: how much it changed on him. And he caught up
4:04
Speaker 1: a little bit there with the Raiders as the season
4:07
Speaker 1: went along, but he seemed overwhelmed by how much the
4:10
Speaker 1: game had changed in a really short period of time.
4:12
Speaker 1: What was the experience like for you? Yeah, I've been
4:15
Speaker 1: that far removed from coaching, But the game moves pretty fast.
4:19
Speaker 4: The game moves very fast, and you know, to look
4:24
Speaker 4: at film and to kind of look where your advantages
4:27
Speaker 4: and your disadvantages are. You know, that comes back pretty quickly.
4:33
Speaker 4: But you know, I've kept my radio program and so
4:38
Speaker 4: I wasn't able to coordinate the offense like I had before,
4:42
Speaker 4: so this particular piece and trying to figure out when
4:46
Speaker 4: to insert myself into the offense, when to not you
4:50
Speaker 4: and make sure that it gets we're we're using on
4:54
Speaker 4: game day what we practiced. That's been a little bit
4:57
Speaker 4: of a finding the right balance. But I did this
5:02
Speaker 4: for the relationships. I did this because these kids wanted
5:05
Speaker 4: one more chance. And if I could create an opportunity
5:09
Speaker 4: and a platform for them to create their best film possible,
5:13
Speaker 4: that would be worth it. And I'd make fifty new friends.
5:15
Speaker 4: So that's exactly what's happened.
5:17
Speaker 1: Well, good, very good. Rick new isil with us. We're
5:20
Speaker 1: checking in on him. He's coaching the Dallas Renegades in
5:24
Speaker 1: the UFL, but also still keeping up with the college
5:27
Speaker 1: football offseason, as he said, still doing his show here
5:32
Speaker 1: in the off season. Well, you seem to want to
5:35
Speaker 1: jump in on Lane Kiffin, and you're going to be
5:38
Speaker 1: you know.
5:39
Speaker 4: That you have a choice if you're following college football. Yeah, well,
5:42
Speaker 4: don't have a choice. You're probably jump in on that
5:44
Speaker 4: one almost all the time.
5:46
Speaker 1: Well, you're probably going to be a lot more careful
5:48
Speaker 1: and responsible. I mean, the guys just always rubbed me
5:51
Speaker 1: the wrong way, and I just hate the way that
5:54
Speaker 1: he's handled his exit from ole Miss. It's they gave
5:57
Speaker 1: him the chance again when he was considered kind of
6:00
Speaker 1: toxic by a lot of programs out there. They gave
6:04
Speaker 1: him the platform to get his career back on track.
6:06
Speaker 1: He found success. We all know that he's a bright guy,
6:09
Speaker 1: but ever since he's left unceremoniously to LSU, it's like
6:13
Speaker 1: he's trying to destroy. He's like Sherman going through Georgia.
6:16
Speaker 1: He's trying to just burn all the fields behind him,
6:19
Speaker 1: so if he loses the war, that nobody will have
6:21
Speaker 1: anything to claim. I find it kind of disgusting, but
6:26
Speaker 1: maybe I'm taking it too far. What is your reaction
6:29
Speaker 1: to what's going on with Lane Kiff in these days?
6:33
Speaker 4: You know, I know Lane having competed against him, and
6:37
Speaker 4: there are some things that are, you know, great characteristics. He's,
6:42
Speaker 4: like you said, he's a bright guy. He can be
6:44
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. He can, he can he's got
6:47
Speaker 4: a you know, kind of a needle type sense of humor,
6:50
Speaker 4: and if you appreciate that, you can you can leave
6:54
Speaker 4: a conversation with him kind of entertained. But there is
6:58
Speaker 4: no reason to bite the hand that feeds you. And
7:01
Speaker 4: that's what he consistently does. And your listeners may not
7:06
Speaker 4: be old enough to remember the great character Eddie Haskell,
7:09
Speaker 4: but he's got a lot of Eddie Haskell in him.
7:13
Speaker 4: And for whatever reason that just you know, and he
7:17
Speaker 4: must think this is a recruiting advantage he's gaining when
7:21
Speaker 4: recruiting against old myths, because not only did they give
7:24
Speaker 4: him a chance, but they gave him Chuck all the
7:26
Speaker 4: resources necessary to compete in a in a world now
7:30
Speaker 4: in college athletics where resources are everything. We see the
7:34
Speaker 4: rise of Indiana, we see the rise of Texas Tech,
7:36
Speaker 4: we see the rise of Miami. They did that because
7:40
Speaker 4: their boosters gave him the money to go out and
7:42
Speaker 4: buy the best talent, and ole Miss was right there
7:46
Speaker 4: with him. Ole Miss spent lavishly to go get Laye
7:50
Speaker 4: a roster. And for him to now go to a
7:54
Speaker 4: place where he's now going to earn ninety one million
7:57
Speaker 4: dollars guaranteed, to look back at his former employer and
8:02
Speaker 4: to make something say something disparaging true or not about
8:07
Speaker 4: that place is bad form.
8:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, and I and and Sark jumped on
8:14
Speaker 1: ole Miss this week. Too. It's it's like so suddenly, yeah, what.
8:18
Speaker 5: The basket weavers of America do the sault? I mean,
8:21
Speaker 5: holy smokes, how do you pick how do you pick
8:25
Speaker 5: on the fine artists that are basket weavers right in
8:29
Speaker 5: such a way I don't get it right.
8:31
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, where would we be without properly weaved
8:33
Speaker 1: baskets in decent society?
8:36
Speaker 4: You know there is a Texas Basket Weaving Association? Is there? Really?
8:43
Speaker 4: I looked this up and they had a they had
8:45
Speaker 4: a convention on January twenty second through the twenty fifth.
8:49
Speaker 4: And I looked at all the fine artwork that was
8:51
Speaker 4: being done, and here they are being prepared as if
8:54
Speaker 4: that's easy. That's just wrong.
8:57
Speaker 1: I would love her. They just look with torches in hand,
8:59
Speaker 1: just stormed Austin.
9:04
Speaker 4: To storm the castle.
9:07
Speaker 1: Well suddenly, I mean, they've turned me into old Miss fans.
9:11
Speaker 1: I want old Miss to win, like you know, if
9:13
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be The Husky Chamber.
9:14
Speaker 4: Nineteenth September nineteenth, Chuck Lsu goes to Oxford. We had
9:22
Speaker 4: this kid, do you remember do you remember the kerfuffle
9:25
Speaker 4: that happened and when Lane was leaving Oxford that there
9:29
Speaker 4: was a beat writer that basically called him a hoe. Yes,
9:33
Speaker 4: And Lane was like ready to go, you know, do
9:36
Speaker 4: the the you know WWE with him. You just kind
9:42
Speaker 4: of go to blows with him. This guy was on
9:45
Speaker 4: our radio show today. Oh classic content. Going after this
9:50
Speaker 4: deal September nineteenth in Oxford is going to be Christmas morning.
9:57
Speaker 4: It is going to be the scene of scenes. It
10:00
Speaker 4: will look like, uh, you picked the riot gear that
10:04
Speaker 4: you like the most. It will be an absolute scene
10:09
Speaker 4: as those two sec fos go at it.
10:12
Speaker 1: I want to I want a full suit of armor,
10:15
Speaker 1: but weaved, weaved around me like a finally made basket.
10:19
Speaker 1: That's how I.
10:20
Speaker 4: Should be employed for that deal, no question question.
10:24
Speaker 1: And ole Miss is going to be good, right, I
10:26
Speaker 1: mean they've got Chambliss back. I don't know why coach
10:30
Speaker 1: Trinidad Chamberlass and lazy. Why was Chambliss fighting to stay
10:35
Speaker 1: at ole Miss so badly? When I'm I'm watching an
10:38
Speaker 1: NFL draft where there's talking about there's not a good
10:41
Speaker 1: quarterback outside of Fernando Mendoza, I'm like, I realized Chambliss
10:46
Speaker 1: is a little bit undersized, but that guy's a wizard
10:49
Speaker 1: and he was playing better than any football player in
10:51
Speaker 1: the country at the end of the season. Why was
10:53
Speaker 1: he fighting so hard to stay in college. It felt
10:56
Speaker 1: like it was the perfect time for him to jump
10:58
Speaker 1: in the pros.
11:00
Speaker 4: I don't know that he'd gotten that kind of grade
11:05
Speaker 4: in terms of the NFL stuff, given his size. And
11:09
Speaker 4: there were probably four million other reasons too, maybe four
11:12
Speaker 4: to five million.
11:13
Speaker 1: Other reasons understood.
11:16
Speaker 4: I mean, he is a he's a happy camper. You
11:20
Speaker 4: know his kid that just came on our show. Ben
11:24
Speaker 4: told us that he's got the tape. He's got the
11:28
Speaker 4: audio of the tape conversation Lane trying to get both
11:32
Speaker 4: Trinidad and Key One to come to LSU with him
11:36
Speaker 4: before he even signed the deal with LSU. But it is,
11:41
Speaker 4: it's creating quite the fear in the southeastern portion of
11:44
Speaker 4: the country, which usually has no trouble starting a fire.
11:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. But do you have any of the
11:51
Speaker 1: funny anecdots. Do you have one you can share of
11:54
Speaker 1: the conversation you had today of an example of how
11:58
Speaker 1: crazy it's getting already.
12:00
Speaker 4: Oh, they just they just want this guy, I mean
12:03
Speaker 4: he I mean, listen, they gave him the Olive branch
12:06
Speaker 4: of all of branches from Florida Atlantic, right, and then
12:10
Speaker 4: remember he was he was offered a chance to go
12:13
Speaker 4: to Auburn and they upped the ane again, so he
12:16
Speaker 4: became one of the wealthiest coaches in the game and
12:20
Speaker 4: resources oh plenty to go out and you know, buy
12:24
Speaker 4: the best roster out there. And he made it to
12:26
Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff, and I think he's really myffed
12:30
Speaker 4: that they didn't let him continue. But when you're going
12:33
Speaker 4: to a sister school in the SEC, it probably was
12:37
Speaker 4: the prudent move by the athletic director there at at
12:42
Speaker 4: Ole Miss to say, you know what, if you're moving on,
12:45
Speaker 4: so are we. And Pete Golding took over, won a
12:49
Speaker 4: couple of games in the College Football Playoff, and now
12:53
Speaker 4: we've just got you know, Peyton Place and then some
12:58
Speaker 4: Southern Pride football, if you will, and we are going
13:00
Speaker 4: to have our own barbecue on September nineteenth.
13:04
Speaker 1: I think Golden might take him up on a fight.
13:06
Speaker 1: He seems scrappy to me. He might go ahead and
13:09
Speaker 1: square off with him at the fifty yard line. Who knows.
13:12
Speaker 1: Rick new Isiel is with us our college football insider.
13:16
Speaker 1: He's had a little spring project this year, but we
13:20
Speaker 1: wanted to check in on him, and there's certainly a
13:22
Speaker 1: lot of interesting things going on in college football. We're
13:24
Speaker 1: still away away from it, but nonetheless never a dull
13:29
Speaker 1: moment in the college football world. Speaking of Sark, speaking
13:33
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, I mean, so much hype around arch Manning
13:37
Speaker 1: a year ago and he didn't live up to that.
13:40
Speaker 1: Do you think he does this year? Do you think
13:42
Speaker 1: with that experience under his belt, that we'll see the
13:46
Speaker 1: hype that was meant for arch Madness a year ago
13:49
Speaker 1: come to fruition in twenty twenty six.
13:52
Speaker 4: I think that's probably fair. I mean, he played really
13:56
Speaker 4: well at the end of the year. He had a
13:59
Speaker 4: great game against Texas A and m who had previously
14:02
Speaker 4: been unbeaten. He had a great game. I think it
14:06
Speaker 4: was against Michigan in the bowl game that solidified his
14:11
Speaker 4: his prowess as a top notch quarterback, top tier quarterback.
14:15
Speaker 4: And now he comes back with that confidence. Remember all this,
14:19
Speaker 4: you know, hype about him a year ago was really
14:22
Speaker 4: without any foundation other than against some lesser tier programs.
14:28
Speaker 4: So the opportunity to have that confidence and have an
14:32
Speaker 4: off season again I think will give him a leg
14:35
Speaker 4: up going into this year. And you know, plus his
14:39
Speaker 4: offensive line is a year better and he'll have some
14:42
Speaker 4: receivers that he's been around rather than just the freshman
14:46
Speaker 4: that he kind of started with last year. So all
14:48
Speaker 4: signs pointing north for arch Manning and having a big
14:53
Speaker 4: year for Texas.
14:54
Speaker 1: You know Husky's football, You know the Dog fan base,
14:58
Speaker 1: You know quarterbacks, and yet you don't know coaching in
15:03
Speaker 1: this era where your quarterback tried to leave you, you
15:07
Speaker 1: had to convince him to stay, and then you had
15:09
Speaker 1: to convince your fan base to forgive him. Where do
15:13
Speaker 1: you think the fan base should be with Demon Williams Junior?
15:18
Speaker 1: Right now here in Washington.
15:22
Speaker 4: And listen, and I love that Jed is working to
15:26
Speaker 4: rehabilitate his role as the leader of the program by
15:31
Speaker 4: using NFL analogies of you know, holding out for a
15:35
Speaker 4: contract and doing different things that kind of create a
15:39
Speaker 4: business reason for what Demon did. But I know Husky
15:45
Speaker 4: fans as well, and there will always be an asterisk
15:49
Speaker 4: around Demond's name unless he just has the year of years.
15:55
Speaker 4: You know, if they win, if they win ten eleven games,
16:00
Speaker 4: all will be forgiven. But if it falls less than that,
16:05
Speaker 4: there will always and then for some there will always
16:08
Speaker 4: be an asterisk regardless of what happens on the field,
16:11
Speaker 4: because he did something that didn't need to be done.
16:16
Speaker 5: He was being handsomely.
16:17
Speaker 4: Compensated prior to making the decision to go into the portal.
16:23
Speaker 4: The timing of his announcement in the portal was ill fated.
16:29
Speaker 4: And it's just their Husky fans are so definitely loyal
16:34
Speaker 4: that there are going to be a number of them
16:36
Speaker 4: that will never forget.
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that was really well said.
16:41
Speaker 1: I'll close last question NCAA tournament. The college basketball tournament expanded,
16:47
Speaker 1: even though no fan wanted that to happen. I don't
16:50
Speaker 1: think college football fans want any further expansion right now.
16:54
Speaker 1: Maybe to sixteen teams maybe, but is it inevitable? Are
17:00
Speaker 1: they going to expand soon? And where will it end
17:03
Speaker 1: in terms of when will they decide enough teams are
17:06
Speaker 1: in the tournament?
17:08
Speaker 4: We play the song seventy six Trombones as we talk
17:11
Speaker 4: about this expansion into seventy six teams and listen, the
17:17
Speaker 4: answer is money, now, what was the question? Right? The
17:22
Speaker 4: people who are stumping for this. The people who stump
17:26
Speaker 4: for this are athletic directors who are dying to find
17:30
Speaker 4: more revenue streams and coaches who are dying to hang
17:34
Speaker 4: on to the money that they've been promised by keeping
17:37
Speaker 4: their jobs, and if you get to the College Football
17:40
Speaker 4: Playoff and or the NCAA tournament, it gives you a
17:43
Speaker 4: great chance to keep this lucrative opportunity you've earned and
17:47
Speaker 4: want to keep. So those people are always going to
17:51
Speaker 4: be for more, more and more and more because they're
17:54
Speaker 4: gaining from it. Does the fan need more in the
17:59
Speaker 4: term in terms of tournament games? Probably not. Do we
18:03
Speaker 4: need to get to twenty four teams to be in
18:06
Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff? Probably not, because I don't think
18:10
Speaker 4: we have twenty four teams that can win it. But
18:12
Speaker 4: the bottom line here is until we get our arms
18:15
Speaker 4: around the economics, this is the easiest way to earn more,
18:20
Speaker 4: and that's why it's going to continue to happen.
18:22
Speaker 1: That's sad. I mean, there's a lot to fix in
18:26
Speaker 1: college athletics right now, and why we are why we
18:30
Speaker 1: are monkey and around with the one thing that works
18:34
Speaker 1: just drives me up a wall. It's like, the only
18:37
Speaker 1: thing solid I have in my life right now is
18:39
Speaker 1: my wife. She's always been by my side. I got
18:42
Speaker 1: to get me a girlfriend now. That's how it feels, like,
18:47
Speaker 1: why are we messing with the stuff that works? When
18:51
Speaker 1: we should be focused on making better everything that's not
18:55
Speaker 1: quite right, and it drives me up a wall.
18:57
Speaker 4: Coach, Well, and that's a wall that's being used by
19:02
Speaker 4: many right now. We're all sticking our dumb people driving
19:08
Speaker 4: to head north on that wall with driving right up.
19:11
Speaker 1: Yes, well, it was great to hear your boys, and
19:15
Speaker 1: thank you very much for taking some time. I know
19:17
Speaker 1: you're a busy man these days, so we appreciate it,
19:20
Speaker 1: and we'll keep from bugging you through the summer.
19:23
Speaker 4: But I'll leave you with this we think about as
19:27
Speaker 4: we think about the health of the NCAA. Who you know,
19:30
Speaker 4: lost that house settlement which cost to the tune of
19:34
Speaker 4: like two point seven billion dollars to be paid over
19:37
Speaker 4: ten years. Right, so they just lost another lawsuit to
19:41
Speaker 4: the Volunteer Coaches of America who said that we were
19:45
Speaker 4: being told all we can do is volunteer when we
19:49
Speaker 4: should have been able to earn some money. That lawsuit
19:52
Speaker 4: just got settled at three hundred and three million dollars.
19:56
Speaker 4: Each of the plaintiffs in the class of the plaintiffs
19:59
Speaker 4: will between five and twenty six thousand dollars, but the
20:03
Speaker 4: attorneys in this case, Chuck will make ninety one million
20:07
Speaker 4: bucks man. So if you're an attorney, just find out
20:11
Speaker 4: what the NCAA is doing and go after him. It
20:14
Speaker 4: seems to be a way to fortune.
20:18
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
20:19
Speaker 4: Have a great summer, all right, my friends, take care,
20:22
Speaker 4: go to Renegade.
20:23
Speaker 1: There is Rick new Eil Renegades this weekend, so exciting,
20:28
Speaker 1: all right. Coming up next on our radio program, NFL
20:31
Speaker 1: schedule release, will give you the latest. It is that
20:34
Speaker 1: day coming up right now though, an update from Philadelphia.
20:38
Speaker 1: It's the PGA Championship. But I'm find PGA Championship Day
21:01
Speaker 1: number one live from uh and we do have Min
21:06
Speaker 1: wou Lee, Steven Dieger, and Aldrich poultergeist, yes, leading the
21:14
Speaker 1: way right now.
21:14
Speaker 3: That's right, that's pronunciation.
21:18
Speaker 1: I'm creepy going on. That's right in Philly, that's right.
21:25
Speaker 1: There's a Poulter guyst leading the scoreboard in Newtown Square,
21:29
Speaker 1: all right. So that's the latest there. And people are
21:33
Speaker 1: struggling on the course today. These these leaders have been
21:37
Speaker 1: kind of stuck at three over, two over for most
21:40
Speaker 1: of the day. So obviously it's not playing I haven't
21:44
Speaker 1: watched any of it. It's not playing real easy out there.
21:46
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't seem like I mean, it is a
21:47
Speaker 2: hard course. There's a lot of what all of a sudden,
21:51
Speaker 2: I forgot the name of my dog. There's a lot
21:52
Speaker 2: of bunkers.
21:53
Speaker 1: A bunker.
21:54
Speaker 2: That's the one thing we watched, like a video of.
21:55
Speaker 1: Its name had water hole.
21:59
Speaker 3: He's like automan So sometimes I call him that our
22:01
Speaker 3: log dog. But yeah, there's a lot of bunkers.
22:06
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, it's interesting to watch though.
22:09
Speaker 1: Well, your guys playing better right now.
22:11
Speaker 3: He is his front well, his back nine, but the
22:14
Speaker 3: front nine he's gone. Bertie par par Par Bertie par.
22:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about the local, the local talent. Derek Berg. Yes,
22:21
Speaker 1: playing in his first major today. Ashley knows him quite well.
22:25
Speaker 2: Yes, cheering him on.
22:27
Speaker 1: That's right. They're that close of buddies, and he was
22:30
Speaker 1: for a little while this morning last. But as we've
22:34
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, every reason to be nervous.
22:37
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, again, I'm nervous and I'm not even there.
22:41
Speaker 1: And so he's made his he's not there anymore.
22:44
Speaker 2: No, he's doing well, doing well. Yes, let's keep it up.
22:46
Speaker 1: It's doing a good job. And we certainly understand why
22:49
Speaker 1: you might have had some nerves there. He's just three
22:51
Speaker 1: strokes back of Bryce and to Shamble.
22:52
Speaker 2: At this point, there you go. You got this catch him.
22:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, drag him down, buddy, Yeah, tackle him. Let's go
23:00
Speaker 1: all you the Iceberg. Yeah, that's right. NFL schedule release Day,
23:07
Speaker 1: Big Show, Big Doings. A little bit later on this afternoon.
23:10
Speaker 1: The official announcement comes at five o'clock hour time. We
23:14
Speaker 1: might have the whole thing. I think SOFTI usually does
23:17
Speaker 1: get it before their show even starts, and so they're
23:21
Speaker 1: gonna have plenty of analysis. They do it every year
23:23
Speaker 1: and they do a great job with it, and so
23:26
Speaker 1: he's monitoring it. He's reacting to everything out there, including
23:30
Speaker 1: news that they are going to have a seventh primetime
23:34
Speaker 1: game added. According to Ryan Fowler, the Eagles will host
23:39
Speaker 1: the Sea Hawks week fifteen on a Saturday. That's not
23:43
Speaker 1: technically a primetime game.
23:46
Speaker 3: No, because that competes with college football, and you've got
23:49
Speaker 3: to well.
23:50
Speaker 1: No, it's primetime. Has to be during the evening.
23:53
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because it's a Saturday day.
23:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would imagine maybe it's not. Yeah, but but
23:58
Speaker 1: I think what we're counting now, because that's up to seven.
24:01
Speaker 1: Philadelphia technically had six primetime games last year, but they
24:05
Speaker 1: had seven stand alone that's it.
24:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, where I think they're combining them.
24:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're combining them, And so I think that we
24:11
Speaker 1: maybe it is seven primetime games, but it might be
24:14
Speaker 1: just seven standalone games for that which means that that's
24:19
Speaker 1: the only game being played at that moment. All eyeballs
24:22
Speaker 1: of football fans are on you. And so it looks
24:24
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks are going to have seven of those
24:27
Speaker 1: and not six of those for this upcoming season. So
24:30
Speaker 1: no disrespect shown the World champions by the National Football
24:35
Speaker 1: League schedule this year. Then again, we seem to be
24:37
Speaker 1: playing every single day now in the National Football League,
24:41
Speaker 1: so there are going to be a lot more standalone
24:43
Speaker 1: games than ever before this year and in FL history.
24:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure seems like it.
24:48
Speaker 3: And I remember when it was COVID, the COVID season,
24:51
Speaker 3: we had games on like a Tuesday or a Wednesday
24:53
Speaker 3: because they were trying to fit them all in and
24:55
Speaker 3: make things work. It seems like they thought, well, you
24:58
Speaker 3: know what, that actually could be the way we go,
25:01
Speaker 3: so let's start pulling more from that model.
25:04
Speaker 2: I don't like that. I like my football on certain
25:06
Speaker 2: days of the week. I gotta get other stuff done
25:09
Speaker 2: on other days.
25:10
Speaker 1: It needs to be what you anticipate. It needs to
25:13
Speaker 1: be some some anticipation.
25:15
Speaker 3: Yes, you can't just have it red. I mean you
25:17
Speaker 3: got to build that. It's gonna have a build up.
25:19
Speaker 3: You can't just have it every single day or people
25:21
Speaker 3: get sick of it.
25:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if they will. Though I agree with you.
25:25
Speaker 1: I agree with you in general. I think you do
25:27
Speaker 1: run the risk of oversaturating your product. But I'm not
25:31
Speaker 1: sure the NFL can be on too much. I mean,
25:35
Speaker 1: it's comes at the expense of other sports, unfortunately, but
25:39
Speaker 1: other sports are always going to lose, you know, to
25:42
Speaker 1: the masses that not just NFL fans, let's face it,
25:47
Speaker 1: fantasy football fans, you know, gamblers, things of that nature.
25:53
Speaker 1: They're the ones that tune in for every single game
25:56
Speaker 1: and so degenerates. I'm kidding. I'm with you. I want
26:01
Speaker 1: it to be preserved. You know. The Thursday night thing,
26:04
Speaker 1: I've had a little bit of trouble with. I like
26:06
Speaker 1: that they wait till the end of the year to
26:08
Speaker 1: go Saturdays for a couple of weeks. I want Sunday
26:12
Speaker 1: to remain sacred. I want the bulk of the action
26:15
Speaker 1: to take place on Sunday. Obviously, Monday Night is part
26:18
Speaker 1: of our routine as football fans that's been established for
26:22
Speaker 1: fifty years now. But I'm with you. I tend to
26:25
Speaker 1: agree with you personally. I just I don't think that
26:28
Speaker 1: they could oversaturate it. That's just how much demand there
26:31
Speaker 1: is for this stuff right now.
26:32
Speaker 2: And I get that. It's just unfortunate.
26:34
Speaker 3: And I will say, there's nothing worse in my mind
26:37
Speaker 3: than when you're watching NFL Red Zone and they're in
26:40
Speaker 3: like a long commercial because there's only two games being
26:42
Speaker 3: played and they're both in halftime at the same time.
26:45
Speaker 1: Which happened a few times in the late game.
26:47
Speaker 2: I hate that.
26:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. So I'm reading this right
26:51
Speaker 1: off of Softie's his Twitter handle here, and this was
26:57
Speaker 1: five minutes ago. So this is sort of updated for
26:59
Speaker 1: the Seahawk Week one versus the Patriots, and that's gonna
27:04
Speaker 1: be Wednesday night football. We like. I don't know if
27:08
Speaker 1: you like the I don't think you like the idea
27:09
Speaker 1: of Wednesday I don't. I don't mind it. I get
27:12
Speaker 1: why they're doing it, and I don't like the Patriots.
27:16
Speaker 1: I don't like starting with me Week six at Denver
27:19
Speaker 1: for Thursday Night Football, Week seven, Kansas City Sunday Night Football,
27:26
Speaker 1: Week eight, Chicago at home Monday Night Football, Week thirteen,
27:30
Speaker 1: Dallas at home Monday Night Football. This is some really
27:34
Speaker 1: attractive matchups right there. Week fifteen at Philadelphia, we just
27:38
Speaker 1: added that to the list, and that will be on
27:40
Speaker 1: a Saturday. I don't know if that'll be a night
27:42
Speaker 1: game or a day or a day game. And then
27:45
Speaker 1: Week sixteen Rams on Christmas Night, which we've talked a
27:49
Speaker 1: lot about today, and I'm also hearing we heard from
27:53
Speaker 1: Greg that even though it doesn't look like it's official,
27:56
Speaker 1: a pretty good feeling that the last game of the
27:59
Speaker 1: regular season will also be against the Rams. Yes, which
28:03
Speaker 1: if the Christmas Night game is at home, which is
28:06
Speaker 1: what we're hearing, then that means Week eighteen possibly with
28:10
Speaker 1: division on the line. Who knows what's all going to
28:12
Speaker 1: be on the line. I mean, these are the two
28:14
Speaker 1: favorites to win the Super Bowl right now. That would
28:17
Speaker 1: mean you would face the other favorite to win the
28:20
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twice in the last three games of the year,
28:24
Speaker 1: probably to decide something or other. Yeah, I would imagine.
28:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of pressure in that
28:29
Speaker 3: last Yeah, three weeks of the season, lots of nerves.
28:33
Speaker 1: Well, I hope Sophie has a few surprises for you
28:35
Speaker 1: this afternoon. I hope we don't have all the puzzle
28:38
Speaker 1: pieces solved before they take the air today at three o'clock.
28:42
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're getting him one piece at a time,
28:44
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to update you even though it is
28:47
Speaker 1: driving at least one text or mad with rage anger. Yes, Now,
28:56
Speaker 1: why are you making such a big deal out of
28:59
Speaker 1: the NFL schedule? Rule?
29:00
Speaker 3: No one cares is my favorite when people write that
29:03
Speaker 3: no one cares about whatever it is you're talking about.
29:06
Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately a lot of people care. Uh, and so
29:11
Speaker 1: we do have to update the masses, do we not?
29:13
Speaker 1: All Right, one last thing to close out our Thursday show.
29:16
Speaker 1: Next Sports Radio ninety three point three kh a r FM.
29:29
Speaker 1: Oh geez, dial up the heat. People swing into action.
29:34
Speaker 1: Bet on baseball all season long at the Talala Prasort
29:37
Speaker 1: Casino Casino, DraftKings Sportsbook, one of the largest sports books
29:41
Speaker 1: in the state. Such a great place to watch games.
29:44
Speaker 1: Their restaurants all over the place. Maybe you get a
29:46
Speaker 1: little tired of watching the game, which I rarely do,
29:50
Speaker 1: you can head on over. You've got slots you got,
29:52
Speaker 1: you got table games, you got, well, you got a
29:55
Speaker 1: lot of entertainment options you do. But at the DraftKings
29:57

Speaker 1: the place to head when all you want is everything
30:10
Speaker 1: details online at everything Talalap dot com. All right, so
30:16
Speaker 1: one last thing to close out the show today and
30:20
Speaker 1: I can start. So we put out our pull and
30:22
Speaker 1: I'm really surprised. I can't believe. I mean, I didn't
30:24
Speaker 1: exactly put it. I don't know. I know. I don't
30:27
Speaker 1: do a lot of Twitter or social media, but this
30:29
Speaker 1: kjar does. Yeah, and we haven't gotten much response to
30:33
Speaker 1: our question today, so it's too small of a sample
30:36
Speaker 1: size to celebrate anything. But is it idiotic to be
30:40
Speaker 1: suspicious that the NBA Draft lottery is rigged? Only like
30:43
Speaker 1: thirty votes so far? I don't know why.
30:46
Speaker 2: I don't either, I can't figure that out.
30:47
Speaker 1: But it is seventy percent. No, so we I am
30:51
Speaker 1: winning that so far.
30:53
Speaker 2: So far, you are not idiotic.
30:55
Speaker 1: I am not idiotic, and not that the NBA lottery
30:58
Speaker 1: is rigged I'm not going that far. I'm just saying
31:03
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm an idiot for being suspicious, and
31:06
Speaker 1: there is a mountain of suspicious activity, and if you
31:11
Speaker 1: want to look at that as just coincidence, you can
31:16
Speaker 1: make a case for any of those things that happened.
31:20
Speaker 1: I know, I know, clever person could argue for any
31:25
Speaker 1: team that wins a lottery, you could come up with
31:28
Speaker 1: some narrative to the NBA, somebody that could use against
31:33
Speaker 1: the NBA to say, I know you rigged it for this.
31:35
Speaker 1: But I just went through the superstars, like the generational,
31:40
Speaker 1: like the once in every ten years kind of guys
31:44
Speaker 1: that were in the draft, and they were all just
31:46
Speaker 1: shrouded with the most suspicious activity. Like it is just
31:51
Speaker 1: hard for me to overlook that. So again, I'm not
31:53
Speaker 1: saying that it is. I would ever even do that
31:56
Speaker 1: from a legal standpoint. I mean, we want the Sonics.
31:59
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, We're not trying to piss anyone on right exactly.
32:03
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying it is. And I get the
32:06
Speaker 1: rational arguments on the other side, It's far more rational
32:08
Speaker 1: to be on the other side of it. I just
32:10
Speaker 1: had a conversation with Chris Kidd very rational, likable young man,
32:14
Speaker 1: and he told me, I don't believe it's rigged either.
32:16
Speaker 1: I hear your arguments. I see where you're coming from,
32:18
Speaker 1: but I just can't believe it. Fine, that's your response. Fine,
32:22
Speaker 1: but I don't think I'm an idiot for being suspicious,
32:26
Speaker 1: especially since I have been following this thing for its
32:29
Speaker 1: forty years of existence and been talking about it every
32:32
Speaker 1: year for twenty five years. And I'm telling you the
32:34
Speaker 1: Cooper flag thing didn't do anything to throw me off
32:37
Speaker 1: of my suspicions. It only fed them a year ago.
32:41
Speaker 1: I mean, how could that not belk suspicious?
32:44
Speaker 3: I say, the one that really had me suspicious was
32:47
Speaker 3: the Dallas situation.
32:48
Speaker 2: That's I was like, okay, you're not even trying to
32:51
Speaker 2: hide it with this.
32:51
Speaker 1: I mean, we just went through weeks of like why
32:54
Speaker 1: would Dallas do that? And then all of a sudden,
32:56
Speaker 1: with a one point eight percent chance they win the lottery,
32:59
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I get it now, I understand. I
33:03
Speaker 1: finally understand why Dallas made this trade of Luka Doncic
33:07
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ear Yes, they obviously had
33:10
Speaker 1: some sort of agreement that this was going to occur,
33:15
Speaker 1: and how could you not I mean, I really don't.
33:17
Speaker 1: I really don't know. How could you not be suspicious
33:21
Speaker 1: of that after thirty years of not just me, of
33:26
Speaker 1: a lot of people that followed the NBA closely, that
33:29
Speaker 1: cover the NBA closely writing stories about how suspicious the
33:33
Speaker 1: whole thing has looked. For the people that the draft
33:36
Speaker 1: that I believe were rigged, four Shaquille's O'Neill's and Lebron
33:41
Speaker 1: James of the world to come out and say, yeah,
33:44
Speaker 1: I think it was rigged.
33:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's it.
33:47
Speaker 1: They They sent me there because I needed to save
33:49
Speaker 1: Cavaliers basketball like that. That that was rigged, I think
33:55
Speaker 1: so yeah, So yeah, have your own opinion about it.
33:58
Speaker 5: Uh.
33:59
Speaker 1: Like I said, like I did say at eight o'clock,
34:02
Speaker 1: the result of this will determine a really big part
34:05
Speaker 1: of my future.
34:06
Speaker 2: I hope it works out in your favor.
34:08
Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, what do you got for one last thing?
34:10
Speaker 3: Earlier I did bring up that Dick Fane had talked
34:12
Speaker 3: about our golf draft, but I didn't finish. I didn't
34:16
Speaker 3: give the info on how his son did ok in districts,
34:20
Speaker 3: didn't win districts, but very exciting for mount Rainier Golf.
34:24
Speaker 3: They are headed to the state tournament for the first
34:26
Speaker 3: time in their school's history. So I know that Dixon
34:29
Speaker 3: and Dick and the whole Fane family are very excited
34:32
Speaker 3: about heading to the state tournament. So I wanted to
34:34
Speaker 3: say congratulations to them, and I hope they do well.
34:37
Speaker 1: You know, when I moved to Seattle, I knew I
34:40
Speaker 1: was in for an adventure. I knew I was going
34:42
Speaker 1: to meet some interesting people and coworkers. You know what
34:45
Speaker 1: surprises me the most. Two things that surprised me the
34:48
Speaker 1: most about Seattle lights that I would have never guessed.
34:52
Speaker 1: Number One, that patio's clothes for eating out, like for
34:59
Speaker 1: nine months of the year. Yeah, like, no one will
35:02
Speaker 1: open a patio unless there's zero chance of one rain
35:06
Speaker 1: drop falling. I kind of pictured in my head that
35:09
Speaker 1: you guys just ate in the rain, like you just like, hey,
35:12
Speaker 1: it's rain, a lot of.
35:13
Speaker 2: Stuff in the rain.
35:14
Speaker 3: But you have to remember, too, there's a lot of
35:16
Speaker 3: people that have moved here from California and they don't
35:18
Speaker 3: like rain.
35:18
Speaker 1: So it's just rain. It's getting in my soup. Big deal.
35:22
Speaker 1: It was watery to begin with. Yeah, I'm just gonna liquid.
35:25
Speaker 1: I figured you did everything in the rain. I didn't
35:27
Speaker 1: think that you would shut down patios nine months out
35:30
