- 2:30Speaker 3: or not, Trey you Savage is getting the start in
- 2:33Speaker 3: Game one of the World Series. Not just a rookie,
- 2:36Speaker 3: he didn't even qualify for Rookie of the Year. This
- 2:39Speaker 3: is somebody that had three starts during the regular season
- 2:42Speaker 3: for the Blue Jays and his start and they've had
- 2:45Speaker 3: plenty of rest. Gossman could go and they're starting you
- 2:48Speaker 3: Savage tonight.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Is what a seventh starter, eighth start of the season.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, he had three during the regular season, so
- 2:55Speaker 3: he's had more postseason starts in his career then he's
- 2:58Speaker 3: had regular season starts in his career. And he's getting
- 3:01Speaker 3: the game one call tonight. We'll certainly talk more Mariners
- 3:04Speaker 3: later on in the show. Huskies are going to host
- 3:06Speaker 3: Illinois tomorrow at twelve thirty. Pregame starts at eight thirty
- 3:10Speaker 3: with the Hanks Sounders Minnesota United. They'll play Monday to

- 3:20Speaker 3: And the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Minnesota Vikings thirty
- 3:25Speaker 3: seven to ten last night, as Justin Herbert dominated the
- 3:30Speaker 3: Vikings bad games. On Sunday, it's a good day to
- 3:34Speaker 3: kind of skip the National Football League if you're gonna
- 3:36Speaker 3: skip it. Husky's Excudney Seahawks are on buy this week,
- 3:40Speaker 3: which meant we were gonna give Greg Bell the day
- 3:42Speaker 3: off rather than talk about the topics we've discussed with
- 3:45Speaker 3: them all week long. But instead, Charles Davis had a
- 3:50Speaker 3: mix up on his flight, so he called Greg and said,
- 3:52Speaker 3: Greg want to hop on?
- 3:54Speaker 2: And he said, yes, how about it?
- 3:55Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I'm happy to be your fallback the prom date.
- 3:59Speaker 6: That's just sitting around waiting for the call.
- 4:01Speaker 3: And I honestly I put you on the rundown yesterday.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I always send a show text. I had you on it.
- 4:07Speaker 3: I thought you were doing it, and then I thought
- 4:09Speaker 3: that you couldn't do it because maybe you were going
- 4:12Speaker 3: out of town because you Bells like to travel.
- 4:16Speaker 7: Yeah, my wife's John this time.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well for good to have you with us. Thanks, yeah, happy, Happy.
- 4:23Speaker 6: To be your fallback whenever you stood up.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Our Seahawks insider Greg Bell with us right here on
- 4:32Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck in the morning. So you know where
- 4:35Speaker 3: I want to start with is where we kind of
- 4:37Speaker 3: ended yesterday. And that's the idea that in the future
- 4:42Speaker 3: there won't be just one bye week in the National
- 4:45Speaker 3: Football League that we're all braced or most people should
- 4:49Speaker 3: be braced anyway for a future that includes eighteen regular
- 4:53Speaker 3: season games and two bye weeks. So the NFL season,
- 4:57Speaker 3: I think you and I both agree on this is going.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I want to get longer here very soon, right.
- 5:03Speaker 6: Yes, And it would take an exception to the collective
- 5:07Speaker 6: bargaining or going back to the bargaining table for the
- 5:11Speaker 6: players and owners to agree on changing the schedule again.
- 5:15Speaker 6: One of the premises of the last CBA, it was
- 5:17Speaker 6: signed in twenty twenty, it runs through into twenty twenty three,
- 5:21Speaker 6: was the seventeen game season, and we've talked about how
- 5:25Speaker 6: the veterans didn't even want that. But the rank and file,
- 5:29Speaker 6: the majority sixty plus percent of the NFL Players Association
- 5:35Speaker 6: are minimum salary guys, and the owners raised the minimum
- 5:39Speaker 6: salary substantially from four hundred sum to seven forty. I
- 5:43Speaker 6: think it is right there for this year, and so
- 5:45Speaker 6: the sixty plus percent sign me up for that. I'm
- 5:48Speaker 6: going to get a three hundred thousand dollars rais right
- 5:51Speaker 6: off the top coming into the league. And that's why
- 5:53Speaker 6: the CBA got approved, not because it had a seventeen
- 5:56Speaker 6: game season and the veterans those have been around and
- 6:00Speaker 6: didn't care about the minimum salary as much. They didn't
- 6:03Speaker 6: want this. Not to mention Roger Goodell's sweeping authority and
- 6:08Speaker 6: discipline on pretty much anything in the league, pension, drug testing,
- 6:13Speaker 6: there are a bunch of issues that the veteran players
- 6:16Speaker 6: that are the minority of the union didn't want, and
- 6:19Speaker 6: that CBA barely passed, but it passed because of the
- 6:22Speaker 6: minimum salary thing. That's a long way of saying that
- 6:27Speaker 6: the players are not going to easily give up the
- 6:29Speaker 6: eighteenth game. They're going to ask for a higher percentage
- 6:32Speaker 6: of the league's revenues. It's still under fifty percent. I'm
- 6:36Speaker 6: acpecting that the players will last for more closer to
- 6:38Speaker 6: fifty percent of the league's revenues going to the players
- 6:42Speaker 6: in exchange.
- 6:42Speaker 7: For the eighteenth game.
- 6:44Speaker 6: I think what we're headed to, Chuck, is what the
- 6:47Speaker 6: NFL wants. One they want sixteen international games the year.
- 6:51Speaker 6: They want every single of the thirty two teams to
- 6:53Speaker 6: play in one international game that season. The players hate
- 6:57Speaker 6: that idea. And the second thing is they're going to
- 6:59Speaker 6: move the Super Bowl to the holiday week, the President's
- 7:03Speaker 6: Day holiday weekend in mid February. To your point about
- 7:06Speaker 6: extending the season longer, adding an eighteenth game will help
- 7:09Speaker 6: them get that February fifteen ish Super Bowl Sunday, so
- 7:14Speaker 6: that it will truly be a national holiday where everybody
- 7:17Speaker 6: doesn't have to work the next day on the Monday.
- 7:19Speaker 6: I think that's where it's all headed, but that might
- 7:21Speaker 6: not all happen till the twenty thirty CBA.
- 7:24Speaker 3: Let me ask you about another big picture thing in
- 7:26Speaker 3: the NBA's a scandal right now is forced us to
- 7:29Speaker 3: think about gambling in sports. Do you think the NFL
- 7:34Speaker 3: would use this moment to sort of reassess their relationships
- 7:38Speaker 3: with their gambling partners, not that they would not have
- 7:41Speaker 3: gambling partners and a relationship with them. I mean, it's
- 7:44Speaker 3: a big part of sports. It's a big industry, and
- 7:48Speaker 3: so I know that it's not going to go away.
- 7:50Speaker 3: But these daily prop bets, I mean there are bets
- 7:54Speaker 3: greg that you can make out there on how many
- 7:57Speaker 3: drops a wide receiver will have during the course of
- 8:01Speaker 3: a game. I mean, how on earth is the NFL,
- 8:04Speaker 3: the NBA, Major League Baseball supposed to monitor every individual
- 8:08Speaker 3: bet and whether or not a drop by a receiver
- 8:13Speaker 3: in Week.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Sixteen and a game between.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Tampa and Atlanta might actually have been motivated by gambling.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Is this an opportunity for the National Football League behind
- 8:25Speaker 3: the scenes to kind of assess how they want to
- 8:28Speaker 3: have their daily prop bet company relationships and maybe try
- 8:33Speaker 3: to scale that down a little bit going forward.
- 8:37Speaker 6: Yes, it's an opportunity. But another question, the second, a
- 8:40Speaker 6: different question, is will they do it. If the answer
- 8:43Speaker 6: is no, they won't because the money it is coming
- 8:46Speaker 6: in the interest How half the TV ratings now are
- 8:51Speaker 6: because of fantasy football and betting. There are casual fans
- 8:55Speaker 6: who don't even know who the starting quarterback from some
- 8:57Speaker 6: teams are who are watching games because of those two factors.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Is fantasy football em betting and advertisers know it, and
- 9:04Speaker 6: they pay a premium for especially primetime games because of that.
- 9:09Speaker 6: And that's not going away. You're right, but we lived
- 9:13Speaker 6: a long time without that. But the effort of owners
- 9:17Speaker 6: in the league to maximize and squeeze profits out of
- 9:20Speaker 6: every single corner they can, they went to this, and
- 9:24Speaker 6: once it became more legal across the country, it became
- 9:27Speaker 6: a lot easier for the NFL to accept this.
- 9:31Speaker 7: They should do it, but they won't.
- 9:33Speaker 6: What's even worse, Chuck, is if you go those same
- 9:36Speaker 6: prop bets exist in college football, and how corrupt and
- 9:39Speaker 6: wrong is that that a high school This is less
- 9:43Speaker 6: so than it was even five years ago because of nil,
- 9:47Speaker 6: But how easily swayed could a college kid who used
- 9:50Speaker 6: to just eat pizzas and barely get by because he
- 9:53Speaker 6: wasn't allowed to have income outside of scholarship. This is
- 9:56Speaker 6: dating myself about five years. But those guys are more
- 10:00Speaker 6: and much more influenced and potentially swayed to drop a
- 10:03Speaker 6: pass or any other prop that you have on college
- 10:06Speaker 6: freshmen at Central Florida or something. It's pervasive. It's so
- 10:12Speaker 6: pervasive in our society that it's not pervasive in our sports.
- 10:16Speaker 6: And this won't be the last this, Terry Roseier, this.
- 10:21Speaker 7: Won't be the last.
- 10:22Speaker 6: And I told you yesterday the NFL is so good
- 10:26Speaker 6: at so many things of influence and exerting influence and
- 10:31Speaker 6: covering their tracks. It wouldn't surprise us the supposition. It
- 10:35Speaker 6: wouldn't surprise me if this has happened in the league already.
- 10:37Speaker 6: We don't know about it yet and the FBI hasn't
- 10:41Speaker 6: gotten to it yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if
- 10:45Speaker 6: that's on their next frontier, and it's threatens the integrity
- 10:50Speaker 6: of what we watch, of what we are so big,
- 10:54Speaker 6: the huge fans of of what we cover. I don't
- 10:57Speaker 6: walk into a locker room wondering if somebody dropped it
- 11:00Speaker 6: pass on purpose of the game, right, But the specter
- 11:04Speaker 6: is now out there, and that is what has been
- 11:07Speaker 6: created by these leagues.
- 11:10Speaker 7: Lack of a bug.
- 11:10Speaker 6: Buddy Gary Washburn of the Club broke yesterday for being
- 11:14Speaker 6: in bed with betting companies, because that's exactly what's.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Going on our six inside of Greg Bell as with
- 11:19Speaker 3: as you can follow them at g Bell Seattle, of course,
- 11:22Speaker 3: and Thenewstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage. It is
- 11:25Speaker 3: bye week for the Seahawks, so it allows us here
- 11:28Speaker 3: on a Friday, talk about some big picture items and
- 11:31Speaker 3: one topic that just kept coming up this week, came
- 11:33Speaker 3: up on the roundtable.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I get it. I know you get it as well.
- 11:37Speaker 3: When Hugh says, man for the greater interest of the offense,
- 11:40Speaker 3: you got to get more people involved than Jackson Smith
- 11:43Speaker 3: and Jigba. The difference between targets to him and everybody
- 11:47Speaker 3: else is just out of whack. And yet, how do
- 11:50Speaker 3: you restrict something that is working so effectively. I want
- 11:55Speaker 3: to get Jackson Smith and Jigba the ball as many
- 11:58Speaker 3: times as possible. So how do this Yawks not curtail
- 12:02Speaker 3: what JSN is doing to defensive secondaries in the league
- 12:07Speaker 3: while getting Tory Horton some development and Cooper Cups some
- 12:11Speaker 3: satisfaction and getting tight ends more involved in the offense
- 12:16Speaker 3: without jeopardizing how often you're trying to establish the run game.
- 12:20Speaker 3: So tell me how Clint Kubiak's going to manage all
- 12:23Speaker 3: of this, Greg.
- 12:25Speaker 6: Well, Ultimately, what it comes down to is Kubiak can
- 12:28Speaker 6: design whatever and call whatever plays he wants.
- 12:31Speaker 7: And he could say the Cup.
- 12:32Speaker 6: Is the primary on this one, or Horton is where
- 12:34Speaker 6: Barner is, But.
- 12:36Speaker 8: It's up to the guy who throws the ball and
- 12:38Speaker 8: if he's reading or trusting that this and Jigglin is
- 12:43Speaker 8: my guy on this play, that I have a better
- 12:45Speaker 8: chance of converting this fourth and one by throwing an
- 12:47Speaker 8: eighteen yard out to Smith and Jigba than a two yard.
- 12:50Speaker 7: Out to Barner. Then he's going to.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Throw it there right and will into.
- 12:55Speaker 9: Exactly And the more times the results are positive, which
- 12:58Speaker 9: so far they've been NFL best positive, that reinforces Darnald's
- 13:02Speaker 9: decision in the snap when he's being chased by three
- 13:07Speaker 9: hundred pound guys. He's getting paid to make the right
- 13:10Speaker 9: decision at the right time to throw the ball to
- 13:12Speaker 9: the right place. It doesn't matter what the play call is.
- 13:16Speaker 9: If he thinks that the Smith and jigg was his
- 13:18Speaker 9: best option, he's going there. And there have been times
- 13:21Speaker 9: in the last couple of weeks he's even been going
- 13:24Speaker 9: backside to Smith and Jigger where there's rolled that one
- 13:26Speaker 9: way in the front side play and the reds are
- 13:28Speaker 9: all in front of him, He'll go find Smith and
- 13:30Speaker 9: Jigma back across the field in the backside.
- 13:33Speaker 6: And because he's leading the league by so many yards
- 13:36Speaker 6: you pointed out out yesterday's like two hundred yards above any.
- 13:40Speaker 7: Jamar Chase or anybody else.
- 13:42Speaker 6: That shows you that when push comes to shove, Darnald's
- 13:46Speaker 6: gonna throw it to number eleven, and nobody's covering Almo,
- 13:49Speaker 6: so why not. No one's been able to cover him
- 13:52Speaker 6: so far consistently this season, So you're right, that will
- 13:56Speaker 6: be games that teams will just say, forget it. We're
- 13:58Speaker 6: putting two on Smith and and we're gonna leave guys
- 14:01Speaker 6: Scott free wide open, and then then the reads will
- 14:03Speaker 6: be to Cup and to Barner. It's not like cupping Barner.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Especially Barner. It's not like he's been ignored. He had
- 14:09Speaker 6: four touchdown catches in the first five games of the season.
- 14:13Speaker 6: But the preponderance of yes, it's unusual in the NFL.
- 14:16Speaker 6: This is more like a college football deal where the
- 14:18Speaker 6: star receivers getting all the receptions and targets that is unusual.
- 14:23Speaker 6: Does it catch up to him? So far Smith and
- 14:26Speaker 6: jigb is beating all coverage, he's beating shadow coverage, he's
- 14:29Speaker 6: beating Cloud, he's beaten Man, he's beaten zone.
- 14:35Speaker 7: I'm with you.
- 14:35Speaker 6: If it's still working, they'll just say, well, I'm not
- 14:37Speaker 6: gonna throw them because I've been thrown to him too much.
- 14:39Speaker 3: And it could be a problem if other people are
- 14:42Speaker 3: complaining about it. But no one's complaining about it, are they?
- 14:45Speaker 3: None of the other Seahawk receivers. Nobody's bothered mythed that
- 14:48Speaker 3: Jsn's getting targeted so much.
- 14:50Speaker 6: No, not that I know even. No one's expressed that.
- 14:53Speaker 6: And it helps that they won five of seven games.
- 14:56Speaker 6: If they were two and five, you might hear something
- 14:58Speaker 6: from Cup or few other guys about what we'd do it.
- 15:00Speaker 6: But no, they're smart enough veteran. If they're five and two,
- 15:04Speaker 6: knuckers say all.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Right, Since we're having kind of a big picture session.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Tyler Lockett got released this week, he did, I would
- 15:13Speaker 3: imagine somebody's going to pick him up, and I would
- 15:15Speaker 3: imagine he's going to make a couple of more big
- 15:18Speaker 3: catches in his career, probably with a playoff caliber team
- 15:21Speaker 3: here down the stretch.
- 15:22Speaker 2: But man, I for a self aware as Tyler Lockett
- 15:27Speaker 2: always has been.
- 15:29Speaker 3: I wish that he would have just said, I'm not
- 15:31Speaker 3: going to go play for the Titans if that's my
- 15:33Speaker 3: best offer, what a great career. I'm just going to
- 15:36Speaker 3: retire a Seahawks every snap with the Seahawks. I kind
- 15:39Speaker 3: of wish that he would have had that moment with himself.
- 15:43Speaker 6: You know, I thought I was really surprised when he
- 15:45Speaker 6: signed with Tennessee. When I was talking to him at
- 15:48Speaker 6: the end of last season on and off the record,
- 15:51Speaker 6: on stuff in print and not, I was pretty convinced
- 15:55Speaker 6: that he's like, you know what, this has been great,
- 15:57Speaker 6: and I thought it was important to him that he
- 15:58Speaker 6: was going to play for his entire career for jess Seattle,
- 16:01Speaker 6: and how rare that is for ten years one team
- 16:03Speaker 6: in them out. It surprised me when he signed. He
- 16:08Speaker 6: deserves You're right, he deserves a team that's going to
- 16:10Speaker 6: go to the playoffs and give him a role. I
- 16:13Speaker 6: don't know if he'll get that, but that's what he deserves.
- 16:16Speaker 6: It's not coming back to Seattle. I can almost assure
- 16:18Speaker 6: you that, not because they don't want to, but just
- 16:21Speaker 6: that doesn't there's no roster fit at the moment. He
- 16:24Speaker 6: would take an injury to one of their frontline guys
- 16:26Speaker 6: for him then even interested. But don't we for him.
- 16:30Speaker 6: He's a man who is well set and has his
- 16:33Speaker 6: priorities in order and to take care of his wife
- 16:35Speaker 6: and his new family and a second career in real
- 16:38Speaker 6: estate and philanthropy back in Tulsa and here in the
- 16:41Speaker 6: Pacific Northwest. Still, he still has a lot of roots here.
- 16:45Speaker 6: He probably will be one of the guys that comes back,
- 16:47Speaker 6: and maybe, if not lives here, comes back a lot.
- 16:50Speaker 7: But yeah, his priorities.
- 16:52Speaker 6: Are in the right place and he's not going to
- 16:54Speaker 6: play years in a couple more years and years just
- 16:56Speaker 6: to keep playing. It did surprise me though, to answer
- 16:59Speaker 6: a question he was even playing one more year for Tennessee.
- 17:02Speaker 2: He should follow Dad's footsteps. I bet you the Chiefs
- 17:05Speaker 2: could use a guy like that.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Yeah, just retire in Dad's uniform.
- 17:10Speaker 7: The Chiefs are pretty good about getting a veteranary.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I bet you Mahomes could find some use
- 17:17Speaker 3: for him.
- 17:18Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 17:18Speaker 6: I was gonna say that would be a bad way
- 17:19Speaker 6: to end your.
- 17:20Speaker 7: Career with Patrick Mahomes in a playoff push.
- 17:22Speaker 2: All right, Greg, Well, thank you very much.
- 17:25Speaker 3: You know exceptionally this time, so we appreciate you being
- 17:29Speaker 3: there for us. Have a great weekend without having to
- 17:33Speaker 3: cover anything, and we'll talk to you again next week.
- 17:37Speaker 6: Yeah, I enjoy the weekend. I know how it would
- 17:39Speaker 6: be to just chuck and jive for a twenty minute segment,
- 17:42Speaker 6: so that.
- 17:44Speaker 3: I thought that was great. I loved that conversation right there.
- 17:47Speaker 3: I love most of them, but that was I thought
- 17:49Speaker 3: that was exceptional. All right, thanks Greg, appreciate that Greg Bell.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Is with us right here on Chugging Buck in the morning.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Anybody that has listened to the show, anybody that's ever
- 17:59Speaker 3: worked work for me, knows I don't need help filling
- 18:02Speaker 3: a twenty minute segment.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of have a gift for that.
- 18:09Speaker 3: But I was hoping to have somebody to on today,
- 18:13Speaker 3: and we're gonna have Charles Davis.
- 18:14Speaker 2: But it's nice to have Greg there. I love that conversation.
- 18:17Speaker 3: We got to talk about some big picture items which
- 18:20Speaker 3: normally we don't get to discuss. So thank you, thank you,
- 18:23Speaker 3: thank you to Greg Bell, our Seahawks Insider. And of
- 18:26Speaker 3: course his segment is brought to you by the family
- 18:30Speaker 3: of Delacato Wines, the Bell Family wine of choice.
- 18:35Speaker 4: They like to sip the Delacato. Oh yes, well, they
- 18:39Speaker 4: talk about hiking.
- 18:40Speaker 7: You know.
- 18:40Speaker 3: What I like to do on with the delocado is
- 18:43Speaker 3: just kind of just oh then just like hold it
- 18:46Speaker 3: on my top a little while.
- 18:48Speaker 5: Swirl h Yeah, yep.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I don't do any of that.
- 18:51Speaker 4: Others no, but I imagine them sitting sitting at the table swirling. O,
- 18:55Speaker 4: the bells are swirling.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Next, let's traverse a mountain.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Yes, as a family, Let's drink this Delecado and we
- 19:05Speaker 4: shall traverse.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like the Van Traps.
- 19:07Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, coming up next, Factor Fiction coming your way,
- 19:10Speaker 3: plus more on the Mariners. A little snapshot each player
- 19:14Speaker 3: by player today of what the outlook for this offseason
- 19:18Speaker 3: might be for each of our Mariners players on Sports
- 19:20Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Actually a pretty fun game.
- 19:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I might have to find some time to play
- 19:30Speaker 3: that a little later on.
- 19:31Speaker 5: I like that Factor Fiction.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Another game we're gonna play A seven thirty five actually
- 19:35Speaker 3: will be the star. She's making the pick here today.
- 19:39Speaker 3: I did promise today that we're gonna just just a
- 19:41Speaker 3: little bit, just a taste of because I know it's
- 19:44Speaker 3: on a lot of Marinder fans' minds, like already the
- 19:47Speaker 3: off season and how this thing is going to shape up,
- 19:49Speaker 3: and so we're just giving you a taste. We got
- 19:51Speaker 3: a lot of time to talk about it over the
- 19:53Speaker 3: course of the winter, and certainly I'm going to try
- 19:56Speaker 3: to deliver that either through the podcast or this show.
- 20:00Speaker 3: But today just a little bit of a taste on
- 20:02Speaker 3: a Friday, and we're gonna try to get through as
- 20:04Speaker 3: many players snapshots as I possibly can.
- 20:07Speaker 2: And right now we're gonna deal with the outfield.
- 20:11Speaker 5: See that's why we played the song.
- 20:12Speaker 2: See what actually did there?
- 20:15Speaker 3: So obviously Julio's locked up. So what are the concerns
- 20:18Speaker 3: about Julio. I'm not as concerned about Julio the clutch
- 20:22Speaker 3: guy in the postseason. There's been a lot of great
- 20:24Speaker 3: players over time that took a long time before they
- 20:27Speaker 3: got clutch and maybe never did. Barry Bonds was not
- 20:30Speaker 3: clutch early in his career. Pretty good player Alex Rodriguez
- 20:33Speaker 3: was not clutching the postseason. Aaron Judge has not won
- 20:36Speaker 3: a World Series, and a lot of Yankee fans say
- 20:39Speaker 3: it's because Aaron Judge doesn't step up in the postseason.
- 20:42Speaker 3: So I'm not as worried about that. You never know
- 20:45Speaker 3: who's gonna show up at the party hot postseason time
- 20:48Speaker 3: and cold or whatever the case may be. Julio did
- 20:51Speaker 3: not come through in the clutch necessarily, but he was
- 20:54Speaker 3: actually really good in the playoffs. I'm more worried about
- 20:57Speaker 3: first half Julio. Man, we got to bring this trend
- 21:01Speaker 3: and I don't know what it's gonna take. I mean,
- 21:02Speaker 3: Kevin Seitzer came on our show and shared his concerns
- 21:05Speaker 3: about it as well. I don't know what it's gonna
- 21:07Speaker 3: take to get him started in the first half playing
- 21:11Speaker 3: the way he does in the second half. If he
- 21:12Speaker 3: could ever put the two seasons together, we have ourselves
- 21:15Speaker 3: a bona fide superstar. Yeah, and he's locked up for
- 21:19Speaker 3: years to come. Randy Rose Arena is a little tricky.
- 21:22Speaker 3: He is arbitration eligible for the final time. He won't
- 21:24Speaker 3: become a free agent until twenty twenty seven. But when
- 21:27Speaker 3: you get to that last year of arbitration and you've
- 21:29Speaker 3: put up either all star numbers or near all star numbers,
- 21:32Speaker 3: it starts getting a little pricey.
- 21:34Speaker 2: He's going to cost.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Between like sixteen and eighteen million dollars next year. I
- 21:39Speaker 3: would suspect they'll pay that and he'll be our left
- 21:41Speaker 3: fielder next year. But I don't think it's out of
- 21:44Speaker 3: the question. You know, you know how this team operates financially.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Could we move a Rose Arena for a piece and
- 21:51Speaker 3: get out from underneath sixteen eighteen million dollars, especially somebody
- 21:55Speaker 3: who has an expiring contract after this year. I wouldn't
- 21:58Speaker 3: rule out that they might trade Randy or Rose Arena.
- 22:01Speaker 3: I do think there are parts of his game that
- 22:03Speaker 3: frustrate the hell out of the organization, which we won't
- 22:07Speaker 3: get into now, but we certainly can detail those for you.
- 22:12Speaker 2: At a later date.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Roeblace, how good of a season would he have had
- 22:16Speaker 3: had he not gotten hurt. Sometimes he's a liability out there,
- 22:20Speaker 3: he just is. But there's no doubt he plays his
- 22:24Speaker 3: ass off. He plays so hard, and I think we
- 22:27Speaker 3: can give him a free pass with the injury for
- 22:30Speaker 3: not really being all that.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Productive when he came back.
- 22:33Speaker 3: They've got him locked up through twenty twenty six, just
- 22:37Speaker 3: four and a half million dollars and a club option
- 22:39Speaker 3: for twenty twenty seven. If he reverts to playing like
- 22:42Speaker 3: he did the previous year, he's going to be worth
- 22:44Speaker 3: that club option. But obviously, you know he's somebody that
- 22:49Speaker 3: can start for us in right field. And my guess
- 22:52Speaker 3: is will Dom can Zone's just pre arbitration eligible at
- 22:55Speaker 3: this point, so you got him on the cheap for
- 22:57Speaker 3: years to come.
- 22:58Speaker 2: And then Luke.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Rayley, who who had a bad year this year, and
- 23:02Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, we talk about these guys
- 23:04Speaker 3: are human. He had a baby back in spring training.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe he had a Kalaki baby. Maybe
- 23:10Speaker 3: he was worried about his baby, Maybe he was worried
- 23:12Speaker 3: about his wife all season long. Maybe he was in
- 23:15Speaker 3: the first half and then just never could get going.
- 23:17Speaker 2: I don't know. But Luke Rayley was terrible this year.
- 23:20Speaker 5: Yeah, he was not good, and it was disappointing, very terrible.
- 23:23Speaker 3: And yet you got him back next year at four
- 23:25Speaker 3: point three million dollars. That's a pretty fty price for
- 23:29Speaker 3: a terrible season that you had.
- 23:31Speaker 2: This past year.
- 23:32Speaker 3: I'm just gonna bank on him being better. Maybe he's
- 23:34Speaker 3: not twenty twenty four Luke, but surely he's not going
- 23:37Speaker 3: to be twenty twenty five Luke for us next year.
- 23:40Speaker 3: So I don't know if there's a lot of room
- 23:41Speaker 3: to add there with that group of outfielders right there,
- 23:44Speaker 3: all of them controlled right now by the Seattle Mariners,
- 23:48Speaker 3: and so I think there's a very good chance that's
- 23:50Speaker 3: your outfield for next year.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Let's play some factor fiction.
- 23:54Speaker 5: Where's that to go?
- 23:54Speaker 10: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
- 23:57Speaker 10: thousand bucks and but ten so dollar grand price.
- 24:01Speaker 2: It's fact door fiction.
- 24:03Speaker 10: Probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every
- 24:07Speaker 10: day Feels Lucky. Fact Door Fiction is on Sports Radio
- 24:12Speaker 10: ninety three point three kJ.
- 24:13Speaker 3: R F M all right, Nashley Spick here on this Friday.
- 24:18Speaker 2: We got the win last night, maybe got the Mojoe back?
- 24:21Speaker 5: Oh please, please please?
- 24:23Speaker 2: Where are we going?
- 24:24Speaker 11: We are going to go to college. And I actually
- 24:26Speaker 11: thought about this when I had this. I was debating
- 24:28Speaker 11: between these two games that when I made my pick
- 24:30Speaker 11: on Wednesday, and I thought, well, you know I only
- 24:33Speaker 11: have one. I'm gonna go with the one I feel
- 24:34Speaker 11: a little bit stronger about. And then I who knew
- 24:37Speaker 11: I was gonna have a second chance, And this pick's
- 24:38Speaker 11: still there.
- 24:39Speaker 3: I would have thought Dick Fane would have stolen it,
- 24:41Speaker 3: but he only takes my kill.
- 24:42Speaker 11: Only steals your picks, that is correct, So my pick's
- 24:44Speaker 11: still out there.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Ole Miss.
- 24:46Speaker 11: I think I think they're mad about how they blew
- 24:49Speaker 11: it last week, and I think they're ready for a
- 24:51Speaker 11: little bit of revenge. They are five point underdogs at Oklahoma,
- 24:56Speaker 11: and I don't think.
- 24:56Speaker 5: Oklahoma's that good. Give me Ole Miss plus the five
- 25:01Speaker 5: at Oklahoma.
- 25:02Speaker 3: I think all of this comes down to whether or
- 25:05Speaker 3: not lane Kiffin can convince his kids, I'm not going anywhere. Yeah,
- 25:09Speaker 3: because we brought this up a couple of times. I
- 25:12Speaker 3: think it's legitimate. I think college kids don't handle it
- 25:16Speaker 3: very well when they find out that their head coach
- 25:19Speaker 3: might be looking elsewhere, and the coach might not be,
- 25:22Speaker 3: but the rumors start, and then the coach has to
- 25:24Speaker 3: put out the fires, not just with one person, the
- 25:27Speaker 3: whole damn roster. And I think it affected Nebraska last week.
- 25:31Speaker 3: I think it affected to a degree you dubbed last week,
- 25:34Speaker 3: and I think that it could affect ole Miss this week.
- 25:38Speaker 3: But if lane Kiffin, who's pretty slick, can convince his team,
- 25:41Speaker 3: even if he is leaving, yeah, if he can convince.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Them I'm not going anywhere.
- 25:45Speaker 3: I got you, then he might be able to rally
- 25:48Speaker 3: them against Oklahoma.
- 25:50Speaker 11: So they're the better football team. I think that's what
- 25:52Speaker 11: I think too. And I just I think they're not
- 25:54Speaker 11: I don't They're not gonna They're not gonna blow it
- 25:57Speaker 11: this week.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right, so they're getting fun.
- 26:00Speaker 3: I'm getting five, all right, So Ashley's getting going with
- 26:03Speaker 3: the ole Miss Rebels plus five at Oklahoma. If you
- 26:08Speaker 3: agree with that selection, You're gonna go ahead and text
- 26:10Speaker 3: fact to four nine four five one. Fact. If you
- 26:13Speaker 3: disagree with a selection, you're going to text fiction to

- 27:21Speaker 3: We are just one week away from something enormous. Sports
- 27:26Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJARFM. We're gonna stay in
- 27:30Speaker 3: and you know, make cocktails in the house and then
- 27:33Speaker 3: watch scary movies rather than go to some big party. Yeah.
- 27:37Speaker 3: And she put me in charge of the Halloween movies.
- 27:41Speaker 3: And I took this and Children of the Corn and
- 27:45Speaker 3: I couldn't even defend them. I'm like, these are terrible.
- 27:48Speaker 3: What happened to these movies? I thought they were so
- 27:50Speaker 3: good when I was a kid, Yeah, and so scary.
- 27:53Speaker 11: They're not see and I didn't like scary movies when
- 27:55Speaker 11: I was a kid, and now yeah, as an adult,
- 27:57Speaker 11: I went and saw Texas Chainsaw ask her when it
- 28:00Speaker 11: came out in the theater and I walked out it
- 28:02Speaker 11: was that terrible Oh really, yeah, like the new one.
- 28:04Speaker 11: I was like, that's just not my that's a waste
- 28:07Speaker 11: of time.
- 28:07Speaker 3: They're so cheesy, it's so well regarded, though I've never
- 28:11Speaker 3: seen it. I've never seen Texas Chainsaw Master for it
- 28:14Speaker 3: just never did appeal to me.
- 28:15Speaker 2: But a lot of this.
- 28:18Speaker 5: Yeah, oh I see, Yeah it was terrible.
- 28:20Speaker 3: I think the old one probably is terrible too. But
- 28:23Speaker 3: slasher lovers, you know, it's like a cult thing.
- 28:26Speaker 5: Yeah see, I'm not a slasher movie type.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like slasher.
- 28:30Speaker 5: I'll watch Godfather before I watch any slasher films.
- 28:34Speaker 2: I want to give you credits for that.
- 28:36Speaker 5: But you know, I won't watch godfind No.
- 28:37Speaker 3: But the fact that you have to like be forced
- 28:41Speaker 3: into watching the greatest movie ever made so long bothers
- 28:44Speaker 3: me a little bit.
- 28:45Speaker 11: Just a long to be honest here, that's all right,
- 28:48Speaker 11: I'm gonna watch Guardians of the Galaxy.
- 28:49Speaker 5: Galaxy, that one is actually on my list.
- 28:51Speaker 2: You should be just ashamed of. You're just depriving yourself.
- 28:53Speaker 5: I know, I know, And I want to watch that one.
- 28:55Speaker 5: They're excited for it.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Chuck and Ashley with you know, Bucky here today, and man,
- 29:00Speaker 3: I mean we've been so lost in the playoffs and
- 29:03Speaker 3: then juggling how much football can we get into a
- 29:06Speaker 3: show while juggling the Major League Baseball playoffs? And then
- 29:11Speaker 3: I mean it's just been crazy around here. Bucky and
- 29:14Speaker 3: I doing pretty much two shows a day for a
- 29:16Speaker 3: couple of weeks. It's just been crazy and so, yeah,
- 29:19Speaker 3: we've had our fun with Calloween. We haven't spend any
- 29:22Speaker 3: time talking about Halloween. I know we're a week away.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Next Friday is Halloween. I mean, I don't rank it
- 29:29Speaker 3: above Christmas. I don't rank it above Thanksgiving, but man,
- 29:33Speaker 3: I probably rank it a lot closer to those two
- 29:36Speaker 3: than most.
- 29:36Speaker 2: I love me some Halloween.
- 29:38Speaker 11: Yeah see, and I'm not a big Halloween person. I
- 29:40Speaker 11: never really have been. Palmer loves it, though, and I
- 29:42Speaker 11: love that she loves it. So but I'm like, I
- 29:44Speaker 11: don't really know what our plan is yet because so
- 29:47Speaker 11: much of the plan was dependent.
- 29:49Speaker 5: On the Mariners.
- 29:50Speaker 11: Like, are we going to be just saying trigger treating,
- 29:53Speaker 11: handing out candy to each other.
- 29:54Speaker 5: On the couch while we watch the Maritors. Yeah, it's
- 29:57Speaker 5: like part of the plan. True, And so I think
- 30:00Speaker 5: because if I had.
- 30:01Speaker 2: A trigger treater come to my door in the middle
- 30:02Speaker 2: of the.
- 30:03Speaker 4: World series, wouldn't you punch them?
- 30:07Speaker 7: No?
- 30:07Speaker 5: I would not, for legal, you'd think about it.
- 30:10Speaker 2: I would not punch a seven year old.
- 30:13Speaker 5: Their parents dressed as Iron Man.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Of course I wouldn't do that.
- 30:17Speaker 11: No, definitely not. I would lecture their parents on being
- 30:22Speaker 11: better parents.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Right, do you know what's going on?
- 30:25Speaker 11: You need to take your home, your kid home and
- 30:27Speaker 11: educate them.
- 30:29Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a week away. I mean, I've never
- 30:32Speaker 2: I've never.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Been that great at costumes or I but I love
- 30:36Speaker 3: costume parties.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why.
- 30:38Speaker 3: I mean, I'm a pretty creative person, but I just
- 30:43Speaker 3: can't come up with creative, great costumes. But I love
- 30:46Speaker 3: those that can. And so I'd throw Halloween parties all
- 30:50Speaker 3: the time. And I had a couple of buddies and
- 30:52Speaker 3: they were masters at it. So I don't know, there's
- 30:56Speaker 3: just something about It's also during my favorite season fall,
- 30:59Speaker 3: so that that's part of it.
- 31:00Speaker 5: You love pumpkins.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I love pumpkin. Who doesn't love candy I love.
- 31:05Speaker 3: I don't like slasher movies, but I do like horror movies.
- 31:08Speaker 2: I like, you know, the Shining.
- 31:10Speaker 5: And Scary one. I've seen it.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Yeah, Now that's.
- 31:13Speaker 3: A phenomenal one, completely different experience, by the way, in
- 31:16Speaker 3: the theater versus watching it at.
- 31:17Speaker 5: Home, watching those twins on the big screen.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a chance to watch it in the theater.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Watch it in the theater.
- 31:23Speaker 3: But yeah, Psycho and so I do love scary movies.
- 31:27Speaker 3: I just don't like slasher movies. So I mean just
- 31:30Speaker 3: all big wat of it and and so I love it.
- 31:33Speaker 3: And usually we would spend more time. We'd have a
- 31:35Speaker 3: beat Bucky theme, yeah, Halloween game and all sorts of things.
- 31:40Speaker 3: But this is like the first time I'm mentioning Halloween
- 31:42Speaker 3: without joking about Calloween and dumpkins.
- 31:45Speaker 11: Yeah, and I agree. I haven't really given a ton
- 31:48Speaker 11: of thoughts all Halloween. It has been all Calloween. And
- 31:51Speaker 11: we didn't even discuss Calloween last night and dumpkins because
- 31:54Speaker 11: I had eight girls of my house carving pumpkins. Yeah,
- 31:57Speaker 11: and I was and we were talking about the dumpkins,
- 32:00Speaker 11: and I was saying, how sad I was that I
- 32:02Speaker 11: didn't get to make the world series Dumpkin.
- 32:05Speaker 2: We were right there, We were right there.
- 32:06Speaker 11: Was I hadn't allowed myself to come up with the
- 32:09Speaker 11: plan for the Dumpkin yet.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Well that's good discipline.
- 32:11Speaker 5: Yeah, but it'll get made one year.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Yeah, because usually like this, the the motions will create
- 32:19Speaker 3: the inspiration.
- 32:21Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had to wait until wait, what
