0:52
Speaker 4: So like testing me already, I figured you were met
0:56
Speaker 4: at me for not putting it in yesterday.
0:58
Speaker 2: Listen, this is we We were very specific. Yes, we
1:01
Speaker 2: refuse to talk unless something happens. Didn't quite have this
1:05
Speaker 2: on the Bengal car. But Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey
1:08
Speaker 2: Billups Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier arrested as part of
1:11
Speaker 2: an FBI's ongoing gambling probe This morning. Solid, really good,
1:16
Speaker 2: well done, Well done, Adam Silver. All right, let's get
1:19
Speaker 2: the show we've been inundated with. You know, got a
1:21
Speaker 2: talk Mariners pre game, blah blah blah and all that,
1:23
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, my guy, Brandon Fundstin
1:26
Speaker 2: gets pushed to the sideline. We don't have fundst It
1:29
Speaker 2: on and so that's not good. Even though you have
1:30
Speaker 2: people calling you, I don't know if you were here
1:32
Speaker 2: Thursday last week, or if it was.
1:33
Speaker 5: And or somebody at the game, or.
1:35
Speaker 2: They're like the phone's ringing, it's people calling. No, No,
1:39
Speaker 2: the phones are back open today, coming up at two o'clock.
1:42
Speaker 2: Your questions for Brandon Fundstin. Texts are already coming in
1:45
Speaker 2: at four nine, four or five to one. We're halfway
1:47
Speaker 2: through the Fantasy football season, there's panic in the air.
1:50
Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that coming up later on.
1:52
Speaker 2: All right, So that's number one. Jerry Depoto went a second.
1:55
Speaker 2: Jess was down there for their end of the year.
1:58
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird how.
1:59
Speaker 3: They did it. Get to that in a second too.
2:01
Speaker 3: What are we doing here?
2:02
Speaker 5: It's just like it.
2:07
Speaker 3: I know what they're doing. They're protecting people.
2:09
Speaker 6: But I get it.
2:09
Speaker 2: Okay, we move on. We'll get to that in a second.
2:12
Speaker 2: So let me explain as I had to to Mark
2:14
Speaker 2: a second ago. And this is how we did refuse.
2:16
Speaker 2: This is how we do refuse to talk. We don't
2:19
Speaker 2: talk about the day to day games on the diamond.
2:22
Speaker 2: That was ten years ago when the Mariners were awful.
2:24
Speaker 2: I think it was actually eleven years ago, the year
2:26
Speaker 2: before Jerry got here, before Gerald and company rolled into town.
2:30
Speaker 2: We just couldn't do it anymore. We couldn't do it
2:32
Speaker 2: in July. We couldn't keep just because all it was
2:34
Speaker 2: just killing the baseball team daily. That wasn't fun. We said,
2:37
Speaker 2: when something happened significant, we'll talk about it, but we're
2:41
Speaker 2: not talking about the daily games. And and then you know,
2:44
Speaker 2: my guy's softy. I remember coming in that crosstalk.
2:45
Speaker 6: Dad, what are you doing?
2:47
Speaker 7: I don't get it.
2:48
Speaker 3: What the hell? What happens?
2:49
Speaker 2: I said, If something happens that we need to discuss,
2:54
Speaker 2: that's that's significant. We will and I think I don't know,
2:57
Speaker 2: probably a week later someone got fired, traded, or what
3:00
Speaker 2: we did. That's how you refuse the talk works, I
3:03
Speaker 2: said yesterday on the show, I refuse to talk about
3:05
Speaker 2: the NBA. I'm sick of how they've treated this market,
3:07
Speaker 2: the city, especially over the last twelve months. It's just
3:10
Speaker 2: been embarrassing our fan base, our city, our community deserved
3:14
Speaker 2: better from Adam Silver's league. I don't care about the
3:18
Speaker 2: little show that used to be on TNT that is
3:21
Speaker 2: now on ESPNYA team who cares.
3:24
Speaker 3: Don't care.
3:25
Speaker 2: Let me know when someone relocates here or becomes an
3:28
Speaker 2: expansion team here. Until then, refuse to talk unless something
3:32
Speaker 2: significant happens. As I told MJ, I was thinking that
3:35
Speaker 2: would be I don't know, relocation of a team, expansion talk,
3:39
Speaker 2: something tangible.
3:40
Speaker 3: That would matter to us here in Seattle.
3:41
Speaker 2: Not how many points a guy had last night or not,
3:44
Speaker 2: who sat out because of a maintenance day or whatever
3:47
Speaker 2: else we do in the NBA. No, I didn't have
3:49
Speaker 2: this one out there. I don't think anybody had. Chauncey
3:51
Speaker 2: Billups arrested, former or well current Portland Trail Basers head coach,
3:57
Speaker 2: NBA Hall of Fame or NBA champion arrested as part
4:01
Speaker 2: of the FBI's ongoing gambling probe. Also arrested for the
4:05
Speaker 2: second time. Terry Rozier, who got off at the first time.
4:08
Speaker 2: Thought he was Scott free. Apparently not. Fella, You're also
4:11
Speaker 2: in trouble. This also feels like the tip of the iceberg,
4:16
Speaker 2: does it not?
4:17
Speaker 4: Like?
4:17
Speaker 3: Are those the only two guys involved?
4:20
Speaker 2: There's no way, Adam, you got a problem on your hands.
4:25
Speaker 3: Fella. Mark brought it up earlier.
4:29
Speaker 2: And I think it's an interesting I didn't think about
4:31
Speaker 2: it initially in these regards. Okay, does this affect it
4:36
Speaker 2: all any timelines for expansion and relocation whatever?
4:40
Speaker 8: Mark?
4:40
Speaker 2: When Mark brought that up, I'm like, come on, MG,
4:42
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Why would that have anything? No, Because,
4:44
Speaker 2: as I've mentioned before, the one thing that the commissioner
4:48
Speaker 2: of this particular league is really bad at is multitasking.
4:52
Speaker 2: He just is, well, we can't talk about expansion until
4:55
Speaker 2: we figure out what's going on in Europe. Well, we
4:57
Speaker 2: can't talk about expansion until we figure out what's going
4:58
Speaker 2: on in Mexico City. Okay, talk about expansion until we
5:01
Speaker 2: get the X, Y and Z contracts done.
5:03
Speaker 5: Or figure out Vegas even Well.
5:06
Speaker 3: That's but that's part of expansion. So but all these things.
5:08
Speaker 2: So it's so, can he multitask with an ongoing FBI
5:13
Speaker 2: indictment and investigation taking place in his league?
5:15
Speaker 3: Probably not?
5:16
Speaker 2: Probably not embarrassing, so embarrassing, so flipping embarrassing for this league.
5:25
Speaker 2: And you know, listen, we all have our opinions on
5:29
Speaker 2: Pete Rose, and it's taken forever to get past those opinions.
5:35
Speaker 2: Chauncey's already in the Hall of Fame, He's already guy's
5:38
Speaker 2: NBA ranks. I don't know what you can do to
5:39
Speaker 2: them other than fire him. He's got enough money, I'm
5:41
Speaker 2: sure to last a lifetime. Rosier probably has made enough
5:44
Speaker 2: unless he lost it all gambling to the same thing.
5:46
Speaker 3: Who cares.
5:48
Speaker 2: But this is a black guy and a bad one
5:50
Speaker 2: for the for the National Basketball Association.
5:54
Speaker 3: So again, refuse to.
5:55
Speaker 2: Talk an early test in an early early way for
5:59
Speaker 2: us to define it exactly what it is. So I
6:01
Speaker 2: guess maybe in some ways, I should think, uh Patel,
6:04
Speaker 2: the FBI, Chauncey, Terry Rosier and all involved.
6:07
Speaker 3: And I can't wait to see who the other names are.
6:09
Speaker 5: I'm actually see this is why I thought you'd like it.
6:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean again, we're not talking about on
6:14
Speaker 2: the floor, just talking about the stupidity off the floor.
6:16
Speaker 3: And I listen.
6:16
Speaker 2: I'm I've got a PhD in off the floor issues
6:19
Speaker 2: with the NBA because I worked in Portland during the
6:21
Speaker 2: jail Blazer aerosol I'm I'm the go to guy for that.
6:24
Speaker 2: I am the guy you guys want to know what's
6:26
Speaker 2: going on off I am the this is right up
6:28
Speaker 2: my alley. I mean, Bonzie Rasheed, the whole quintel Woods,
6:34
Speaker 2: all the all the fun stuff we had. My guy Damon,
6:37
Speaker 2: who I love Damon Stott. Honestly I like Damon a lot. Damon,
6:40
Speaker 2: you know the we'd whack weed wrapped in a foil
6:43
Speaker 2: thing trying to go through security. Why, man, like, dude,
6:45
Speaker 2: that doesn't work, doesn't work?
6:46
Speaker 6: How did you what are in high school?
6:49
Speaker 3: Yeah?
6:49
Speaker 2: What did you get? Kind of education you get in Arizona? Anyway,
6:52
Speaker 2: we move on from them. Okay, Uh, let's let's get
6:56
Speaker 2: to the Maritor's front office, spoke to the media today,
6:59
Speaker 2: kind of a weird and I remember jess and I
7:01
Speaker 2: were talking about this yesterday, I think off the air
7:03
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, we're trying to We're well
7:06
Speaker 2: shorthanded right now. So I said, Jessica, you're gonna get
7:09
Speaker 2: be able to get down there for the station and
7:10
Speaker 2: record it. Mike's got hockey tonight, and much like Adam Silver,
7:14
Speaker 2: he can't. No, I'm just skin I was gonna say,
7:15
Speaker 2: you can't multitask.
7:18
Speaker 3: We love Mikey.
7:19
Speaker 2: I love Mikey to death, but we uh, I said,
7:22
Speaker 2: just get down there because we're thinking that this is
7:23
Speaker 2: going to be like their normal end of the year
7:25
Speaker 2: post mortem right where they sit there on you know,
7:28
Speaker 2: at a table, and it's kind of a formal press
7:30
Speaker 2: conference setting, and questions are coming because MJ says yesterday
7:35
Speaker 2: he goes, no one's gonna ask a hard question, and
7:37
Speaker 2: I said, well, what questions you want to ask? I'm
7:38
Speaker 2: sure those questions will probably get asked. I might, you know,
7:41
Speaker 2: beg to differ with you in that regard, especially if
7:43
Speaker 2: my guy Levine is there, and he was, but they
7:48
Speaker 2: they decided that they weren't gonna do that. They weren't
7:50
Speaker 2: gonna put everybody up on a table and people could
7:53
Speaker 2: wrap in fire press conference questions because that has that, frankly,
7:56
Speaker 2: has been where Jerry has got in trouble in the past.
7:59
Speaker 2: That's where he's had his comments and his things and
8:01
Speaker 2: his miscues and his missteps. And Dan would be sitting
8:04
Speaker 2: there as well, so instead they put just paint the picture.
8:07
Speaker 2: All three guys, Jerry, Justin and Dan spoke at the
8:10
Speaker 2: same time.
8:10
Speaker 3: Correct.
8:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, Usually you'd expect a podium situation, and this was
8:16
Speaker 4: Ellis Pavilion, which is a large open event space that
8:20
Speaker 4: is right inside the Mariners Stadium on the third base side,
8:25
Speaker 4: and I've been there before for events, but it was
8:28
Speaker 4: just a large open space and both Jerry Depoto, Justin Hollander,
8:33
Speaker 4: and Dan Wilson were all talking at the same time,
8:36
Speaker 4: and all the media members there would definitely have to
8:41
Speaker 4: you know, be in one place at one time.
8:43
Speaker 2: That's and that's that's to protect probably Dan, is my guess,
8:47
Speaker 2: because it's hard well because all here's you worked in TV.
8:51
Speaker 3: You know how it works. This is why this is
8:52
Speaker 3: how it's protected.
8:52
Speaker 2: Again, because a TV station is going to be unable
8:56
Speaker 2: to send more the one camera down there, like they're
8:59
Speaker 2: lucky to get one camera down there, you know how
9:00
Speaker 2: it works.
9:01
Speaker 4: And Spall our own radio station was lucky to have
9:03
Speaker 4: one person there. So yeah, there are.
9:05
Speaker 5: Multiple people for multiple multiple outlets.
9:08
Speaker 2: You're correct, but are one, but you're gonna get one,
9:10
Speaker 2: like Nico's gonna have one camera, Aaron's gonna have one camera.
9:13
Speaker 2: Kiro doesn't do sports anymore, so they don't matter. And
9:16
Speaker 2: whoever's there for a king, they're gonna have one camera.
9:18
Speaker 2: So you have to spread around you have, Well, Jerry's
9:20
Speaker 2: the guy you want to talk to, because the bigger
9:21
Speaker 2: picture is what matters, you know, and we're gonna get
9:24
Speaker 2: to that in a second.
9:24
Speaker 3: It's that's what matters.
9:26
Speaker 2: Well, So who's there to drill Dan Wilson about picture
9:28
Speaker 2: usage three days later?
9:29
Speaker 3: Nobody?
9:30
Speaker 2: Uh?
9:30
Speaker 3: Or you gotta run over there and stuff. I just
9:33
Speaker 3: I get what you're doing, heavily. Good job.
9:35
Speaker 2: Actually, Like from a PR standpoint, that's like that's a class.
9:38
Speaker 2: That's a master class and how to diffuse and try
9:41
Speaker 2: to get away without having anybody torpedo your manager. That's
9:44
Speaker 2: it it is, and I'd say that with all due respect,
9:46
Speaker 2: it's a master class by by that group, because because
9:49
Speaker 2: that's hard to do. Because number one, like I know,
9:51
Speaker 2: people want to still go after Dan. We're past it.
9:55
Speaker 2: Whatever the game's over, you can't change it. I think
9:59
Speaker 2: the most thing and the most important person to hear
10:01
Speaker 2: from is Jerry to Potal period d a story and
10:04
Speaker 2: because this is it's the next step is what will
10:06
Speaker 2: you do in the off season? Can you keep it going?
10:08
Speaker 2: And we got about four and a half minutes here
10:11
Speaker 2: of Jerry to Podle. We'll talk about it on the
10:13
Speaker 2: other side, Jerry to Poodle with my guy Aaron Levigne,
10:17
Speaker 2: who I think I asked the fifty four percent question,
10:19
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken a few years ago asking the
10:22
Speaker 2: first question Jerry to Potal about the off season the moose.
10:26
Speaker 9: The moves you made at the trade deadline clearly made
10:28
Speaker 9: a difference. Obviously Josh and and Geno and down the
10:31
Speaker 9: stretch in the playoffs. How much of a priority is
10:34
Speaker 9: bringing well, let's start with Josh back next season.
10:36
Speaker 10: Yeah, obviously it's priority. And you know, we will take
10:41
Speaker 10: a step back from where we are before we truly assess,
10:44
Speaker 10: and we'll communicate with the players before we say anything publicly.
10:46
Speaker 10: But you know, we're we're still, like I said, in
10:50
Speaker 10: grief mode and so were they. But loved every minute
10:53
Speaker 10: with those guys and with others who are pending free
10:56
Speaker 10: agents or potentially pending free agents. And you know, we've
11:00
Speaker 10: obviously been in planning mode and competitive mode and trying
11:03
Speaker 10: to put together plans and rosters to win games. And
11:08
Speaker 10: you know, we've discussed twenty twenty six and beyond, and
11:10
Speaker 10: we do that fairly regularly, so it's not going to
11:13
Speaker 10: sneak up on us, but it is appropriate to communicate.
11:16
Speaker 6: With those guys before we get publicly.
11:19
Speaker 9: You mentioned discussions about plans for twenty twenty six. What
11:21
Speaker 9: do you anticipate payroll to be next year similar to
11:24
Speaker 9: this year?
11:24
Speaker 10: Would I would say similar to where we ended the year,
11:27
Speaker 10: you know, as a starting point. So you know, we
11:30
Speaker 10: ended the season I think with the second highest our
11:32
Speaker 10: highest payroll that we've ever had as a franchise. And
11:36
Speaker 10: this was always the goal was to methodically build toward
11:39
Speaker 10: what we were doing. And you know, I'm comfortable that
11:41
Speaker 10: the resources that we're given, we're going to have every
11:44
Speaker 10: ability to go out and put together a championship quality team,
11:48
Speaker 10: and like we have in recent years, when we get
11:51
Speaker 10: into the right position, I'm certain that we will be
11:54
Speaker 10: aggressive and doing the next time.
11:57
Speaker 5: The deadline.
11:58
Speaker 8: Will you be able to do.
11:58
Speaker 11: That too next year?
12:00
Speaker 10: You know, we've always been able to do that. It's
12:02
Speaker 10: a if I look back over these last five years,
12:04
Speaker 10: you know, it's a it's we tend to just monitor
12:07
Speaker 10: where we are, and in seasons like twenty two and
12:11
Speaker 10: twenty four and twenty five, we lean in and a
12:13
Speaker 10: lot of our team I said this toward the end.
12:16
Speaker 10: There was a point in September this year where eleven
12:19
Speaker 10: of our twenty six active players were acquired the trade
12:22
Speaker 10: dead rack trades. So you know, in one way or
12:25
Speaker 10: the other, we've always been a very active team in general,
12:28
Speaker 10: but particularly active at the trade deadline. And you know,
12:31
Speaker 10: and that's where that's where Nails and Gino and Randy
12:35
Speaker 10: and the Rock and then I could go on Mooney
12:38
Speaker 10: and Brash, they all came from that time on the
12:40
Speaker 10: clock somewhere in the last five years. So we're in
12:44
Speaker 10: and you know, and if it means you're acquiring you know,
12:47
Speaker 10: real earners, guys like Gino or Josh or Louis Castillo
12:51
Speaker 10: or Randy. You know, I think we've been in that
12:53
Speaker 10: boat for a while now and the commitment that we
12:56
Speaker 10: get from ownership is real. And you know, this year
12:59
Speaker 10: the unique and this was that we added two of
13:01
Speaker 10: those types of players and I think it shocked people.
13:03
Speaker 10: But you know, we have the support of our ownership
13:07
Speaker 10: group and they've always been open to us pushing in
13:10
Speaker 10: and you know, we did push this this summer in
13:13
Speaker 10: a way that maybe we didn't quite push before. But
13:16
Speaker 10: we think that's again part of our roster building model
13:19
Speaker 10: is to really lean into what we can access in
13:22
Speaker 10: July and lean on our city, our ballpark, our fan base,
13:26
Speaker 10: and our atmosphere to really help seal the deal because
13:30
Speaker 10: it's the best recruiting tool.
13:31
Speaker 9: We have when you push like that in the middle
13:33
Speaker 9: of the season and ownership seas the amazing magic that
13:37
Speaker 9: happened at this ballpark and the next incredible success in
13:40
Speaker 9: the brink of a World Series. Do you think the
13:42
Speaker 9: effect of that to them kind of sends the message
13:46
Speaker 9: of maybe we can feel a little bit more comfortable
13:49
Speaker 9: extending our budget more than we're comfortable doing or do
13:51
Speaker 9: you think that it only confirms their belief of now
13:54
Speaker 9: we feel comfortable as a mid market team in terms
13:59
Speaker 9: of payroll I don't know, because you.
14:01
Speaker 10: Can still Yeah, you'll have to ask somebody else that's
14:04
Speaker 10: not you know, I can't answer, but to say that
14:07
Speaker 10: the resources we've been given us put us right about
14:10
Speaker 10: in the middle from a from a league perspective and payroll.
14:14
Speaker 10: We've been very aggressive at trade deadlines to push in
14:17
Speaker 10: when it's our time. We do have star players. We
14:20
Speaker 10: have signed some of the big biggest extensions in recent
14:23
Speaker 10: baseball history with with our center fielder especially and and
14:28
Speaker 10: our catcher. We have that we have star power. We
14:32
Speaker 10: pay our stars, we keep our players pay. I'm very
14:36
Speaker 10: comfortable with the resources that we've been given and are.
14:38
Speaker 10: We're not in a contest to see if we can
14:40
Speaker 10: outspend somebody. Just make smart moves that put the best
14:43
Speaker 10: team on the on the field back.
14:46
Speaker 2: All right, Jerry de poul just a little bit of
14:48
Speaker 2: his twenty six minutes there today down at Tea Mobile
14:52
Speaker 2: Park at the Ellis Pavilions. So just a couple of
14:56
Speaker 2: quick thoughts and jeesfs, I'm gonna ask you to save that.
14:58
Speaker 2: We'll probably play that those four men or so for
15:01
Speaker 2: Nathan and Chris on Monday when we do our final mulliwops.
15:05
Speaker 6: The year.
15:08
Speaker 2: What I took out of what he said and listen,
15:11
Speaker 2: I think Jerry's job is really hard for a couple
15:14
Speaker 2: of reasons. One inherently, the job of a GM, for
15:17
Speaker 2: any sports professional sports team is hard.
15:20
Speaker 3: It's just it's there's a lot to it.
15:21
Speaker 2: You've got to evaluate players, personnel, you got to work
15:25
Speaker 2: within some sort of budget, whether it's a self imposed
15:28
Speaker 2: budget like Baseball has, or a salary cap like the
15:30
Speaker 2: other three leagues have, you've got. There's just a lot
15:32
Speaker 2: to it that makes it hard. The other part that
15:34
Speaker 2: makes it hard, especially for a guy like Jerry, is
15:35
Speaker 2: that you know he's the face, and you know, people,
15:39
Speaker 2: right or wrong, kind of perceive him as almost a
15:42
Speaker 2: Siamese twin with with ownership.
15:44
Speaker 3: He's not.
15:44
Speaker 2: He doesn't make the decisions on how much money they're
15:46
Speaker 2: gonna happen. He has to execute it. What I took
15:49
Speaker 2: out of that was, I mean, yeah, we're probably still
15:52
Speaker 2: a mid market spender, which is last year they were
15:56
Speaker 2: around sixteen fifteen. It went up a little bit after
15:58
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. They probably won't be any kind of
16:01
Speaker 2: big player in free agency in the offseason, unless that
16:04
Speaker 2: includes resigning Josh Naylor and boy he gave no indication
16:08
Speaker 2: that it's a strong possibility or that it's not like
16:10
Speaker 2: there's just in which he shouldn't. He needs to talk
16:13
Speaker 2: to Josh and his people. I get that, I guess,
16:17
Speaker 2: you know. I know he said that he's kind of
16:19
Speaker 2: a priority.
16:19
Speaker 3: Of course he is.
16:20
Speaker 2: But we don't know, because we don't know if ownership
16:22
Speaker 2: is going to allow him to sign Josh Naylor to
16:25
Speaker 2: what most people believe will be somewhere between ninety and
16:28
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten million dollars over five years. Probably
16:31
Speaker 2: will he be allowed to do that, I don't know.
16:34
Speaker 2: I don't think any Mariner fan wants to hear that
16:36
Speaker 2: you're spending mid market money their medium or media market twelve.
16:41
Speaker 2: If you don't have more money than fourteen fifteen, sixteen
16:45
Speaker 2: seventeen market media market size, that's a you problem, because
16:48
Speaker 2: you guys are the ones that basically ran what I'm
16:52
Speaker 2: sitting into right now into the ground. Root Sports ran
16:56
Speaker 2: an RSN into the ground.
16:57
Speaker 6: Yeah.
16:58
Speaker 2: Can blame Comcast all you want, and they certainly deserve
17:00
Speaker 2: a lot of the blame. Does Exfinity Comcast? Certainly they do, Absolutely,
17:03
Speaker 2: they do better programming, Better opportunities would have been probably
17:07
Speaker 2: may have more lucrative RSN, but now you're going to
17:12
Speaker 2: a cheaper model that doesn't generate the same revenue with
17:15
Speaker 2: MLB TV. And so I kind of got the feeling
17:19
Speaker 2: from listening to Jerry there that what we're going to see.
17:21
Speaker 2: Hopefully they resign Naylor. That eliminates a lot of issues.
17:25
Speaker 2: Polanco's going to opt for free agency. I don't think
17:29
Speaker 2: it's I mean, if you can get Geno for the
17:31
Speaker 2: right price, why wouldn't you bring them back, let them
17:33
Speaker 2: dh them at first base if Nelor's needs a day off, right,
17:39
Speaker 2: and but it sounds the thing that really was positive
17:42
Speaker 2: that I liked a lot was yeah, they're going to
17:45
Speaker 2: keep being aggressive of the trade deadline. The problem is
17:47
Speaker 2: you have to be in it at the trade deadline.
17:51
Speaker 2: They've got the core that they'll begin in ato the
17:53
Speaker 2: trade deadline. That should be fine, but you know what
17:54
Speaker 2: I'm saying, like they've got to be to really utilize
17:57
Speaker 2: their strategy, which is being very great of the trade deadline.
18:00
Speaker 2: You've got to be in contention at the trade deadline.
18:03
Speaker 2: You can't be in a position of being a seller
18:05
Speaker 2: and he'll guarantee you know, two or three injuries and
18:07
Speaker 2: you may not be in that position next year. Yeah,
18:09
Speaker 2: as opposed as opposed to loading up your roster in
18:11
Speaker 2: the offseason.
18:12
Speaker 3: But it's hard.
18:12
Speaker 2: Just there's a part of me, god weird as it sounds.
18:16
Speaker 2: That kind of fuels for Dipoto because he is truly
18:19
Speaker 2: he's in a league that doesn't have a salary cap.
18:22
Speaker 2: He is at the mercy of an ownership group that
18:25
Speaker 2: does have a set that's it's self imposed. Yes, so
18:28
Speaker 2: a self imposed salary cap is hard to work with,
18:30
Speaker 2: all right. Ineno Saras has joined us all year from
18:32
Speaker 2: the Athletic. We've loved having him on. It's been a
18:35

19:50
Speaker 2: yesterday and it was so good, so go check it out.
19:53
Speaker 3: Big thanks to Georgetown Beer.
19:54
Speaker 4: Hi.
19:54
Speaker 3: You know, how are you.
19:57
Speaker 6: Okay?
19:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're you kind of almost sound like us up
20:02
Speaker 3: here in Seattle.
20:02
Speaker 2: You know, it's uh, you can imagine, buddy, it's uh,
20:12
Speaker 2: it's it's not not good times up here. We're all
20:14
Speaker 2: trying to trying to figure out what happened in game seven,
20:17
Speaker 2: So I want to I want to get your thoughts
20:20
Speaker 2: on that, and then we'll move ahead to bigger picture
20:22
Speaker 2: items in just a couple of seconds. But free one lead,
20:25
Speaker 2: uh you head down. Nine outs to go, and and
20:27
Speaker 2: it fell apart for Seattle. What what were you thinking
20:30
Speaker 2: as you're watching that? Now, what are you thinking a
20:31
Speaker 2: couple days later?
20:33
Speaker 11: Well, I know what the conversation is, and you know,
20:37
Speaker 11: I have my own little tidbit on it, which is,
20:40
Speaker 11: you know, the Blue Jays the Mariners let relievers the
20:45
Speaker 11: guys a third time in a playoff series twice as
20:50
Speaker 11: often as the Blue Jays, So there was a difference
20:53
Speaker 11: in philosophy, which basically, if you want to distill it is,
20:57
Speaker 11: you know, Dan Wilson is gonna ride with his guys
21:00
Speaker 11: Bizarroo brash Munos, where the Blue Jays were like, hey,
21:06
Speaker 11: we're gonna throw Brendan little at cal rally even though
21:10
Speaker 11: we have Hoffman available. And so you can see the
21:14
Speaker 11: downfall of both approaches, which is Bizardo sees Springer three
21:19
Speaker 11: times in one week, and he tries the same approach
21:22
Speaker 11: each time, sinkers inside and it doesn't work the third time,
21:27
Speaker 11: you know, and then Brendan Little cal really went deep
21:30
Speaker 11: off him. So you know, there's flaws in both if
21:33
Speaker 11: you look backwards. But the research does suggest that that
21:38
Speaker 11: the third time a hitter sees a reliever in a series,
21:41
Speaker 11: their ops goes up one hundred and forty points, and
21:45
Speaker 11: so I would have avoided that situation. I probably would
21:49
Speaker 11: have gone to Munos. And I know that that creates
21:53
Speaker 11: the situation where Springer comes up again in the ninth
21:56
Speaker 11: with Brash and Bizarredo available. But what I hope is
22:00
Speaker 11: that in the ninth I don't have people on base.
22:04
Speaker 11: Maybe that makes it better to go to Brash, who
22:06
Speaker 11: my walk Springer and so on and so forth. But
22:09
Speaker 11: Muno's never faced Springer in the series, and that just
22:13
Speaker 11: seems weird, especially since Springer ended up deciding the series.
22:17
Speaker 2: First of all, that is why we have you on
22:19
Speaker 2: the show. And i'bout being dead serious, and I'm being
22:22
Speaker 2: dead serious in that because I had not heard Jess right,
22:26
Speaker 2: I had not heard that explanation before. No, and and
22:29
Speaker 2: the way you put it, because listen, the knee jerk
22:33
Speaker 2: immediate reaction from fans is, what the hell, what's he doing?
22:36
Speaker 2: Why is Bizarreto in there, et cetera. Why did we
22:39
Speaker 2: start the inning? As you articulate, that was their philosophy.
22:43
Speaker 2: They use their guys, how they used them, they stuck
22:46
Speaker 2: with it. But the more you say that, I think
22:48
Speaker 2: if you're a matter fan driving around you're listening to
22:50
Speaker 2: EENI right now.
22:51
Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, I knew Dan screwed that up.
22:52
Speaker 3: But that wasn't just Dan.
22:53
Speaker 2: That sounds like that was an organizational probably philosophy, and
22:56
Speaker 2: how they were used for relievers.
22:58
Speaker 11: In the ninth, you have had the go to Bizardo
23:01
Speaker 11: or or Brash and both of them would have been
23:03
Speaker 11: facing Springer a third time anyway. So some of it
23:05
Speaker 11: has to do with how early you take out your pictures,
23:08
Speaker 11: right but you're kind of screwed if you don't take
23:09
Speaker 11: out your pictures early because there's a third time through
23:11
Speaker 11: the order penalty with them. So I have a lot
23:14
Speaker 11: of sympathy for him, and I'm not trying to bury
23:16
Speaker 11: Dan Wilson, you know, that's that's not my intention. It's
23:19
Speaker 11: just just sort of laying out my reasoning is, right
23:23
Speaker 11: now there are two bass there's two people on base,
23:25
Speaker 11: and so right now Munos who's never seen Springer, I
23:28
Speaker 11: got to have him in here right now, and then
23:30
Speaker 11: I hope that when Springer is up there, he sits
23:32
Speaker 11: the solo home run in the ninth and we win
23:33
Speaker 11: by one. You know. So yeah, that's that's just the
23:37
Speaker 11: thinking process I would have gone through. And I just
23:40
Speaker 11: think that we're just now figuring out about this reliever
23:43
Speaker 11: familiarity effect, where you know, the more times you see
23:47
Speaker 11: a reliever in a series. But to be fair, John Schneider,
23:51
Speaker 11: when asked about why did he go to Brendon Little
23:54
Speaker 11: against calorrally, he said, we need to change up the
23:58
Speaker 11: looks on the middle of their order. So the Blue
24:01
Speaker 11: Jays were a little bit more aware of it. And
24:02
Speaker 11: I don't know if that was the difference. I mean,
24:05
Speaker 11: you could say the strikeouts were a difference. The Mariners
24:08
Speaker 11: struck out more, a lot more, But that's something that
24:12
Speaker 11: the Mariners have known about. The Mariners have tried to
24:15
Speaker 11: improve on their strikeout right, you know, year over year
24:18
Speaker 11: for a few years now, and the park it works
24:21
Speaker 11: against that, and so on and so forth. But I
24:23
Speaker 11: think that will be part of their concern this offseason.
24:26
Speaker 2: Again, would would the last thing on just that before
24:30
Speaker 2: I move ahead?
24:30
Speaker 3: Just would would it have been? And I mean, this
24:33
Speaker 3: is your expertise.
24:34
Speaker 2: With the pitching world that we live in, especially with
24:36
Speaker 2: some of the new numbers available as you just mentioned,
24:39
Speaker 2: I know that like a guy like Castile or Bryce Miller,
24:42
Speaker 2: you know, bringing them in in the middle of an inning.
24:44
Speaker 2: Maybe not ideal, but maybe bringing them in at the
24:48
Speaker 2: start of that inning or leaving Wu in there longer.
24:50
Speaker 2: Would either one of those have been a better option,
24:52
Speaker 2: do you think than bizarre?
24:54
Speaker 11: I mean this is where this is where feel comes in.
24:58
Speaker 11: You know, the Blue jas are an excellent fastball hitting team,
25:02
Speaker 11: and WU is all about fastballs, and to some extent,
25:06
Speaker 11: Bryce Miller is as well. You know, could you have
25:10
Speaker 11: brought Castillo in? You know, I kind of like Brash
25:12
Speaker 11: against Springer because Springer is is really vulnerable to the
25:16
Speaker 11: lone away sliders, and I think I might have just
25:19
Speaker 11: had Brash just throw loan away slider after lonaway slider,
25:23
Speaker 11: hoping to get some fishing. If he puts Springer on first,
25:26
Speaker 11: then you're hoping for a double play, you know. I mean,
25:30
Speaker 11: you're you're screwed a lot of different ways.
25:32
Speaker 2: Well, you lost, and you know, at the end of
25:34
Speaker 2: you lost to a good baseball team, right like, I mean,
25:36
Speaker 2: you lost baseball.
25:39
Speaker 11: And the one fun thing about the Blue Jays and
25:42
Speaker 11: this this might hurt in the context of the Mariners
25:44
Speaker 11: strikeout problem, but you know they were all year long
25:48
Speaker 11: the best strikeout rate team in baseball. So there's a
25:51
Speaker 11: lot of people being like, oh, it was small ball
25:53
Speaker 11: that one. Except the difference is the Blue Jays, all
25:57
Speaker 11: all of them except for one. All of them swung
26:01
Speaker 11: their bats harder in the second half and in the
26:04
Speaker 11: post season. So you take a team that makes a
26:06
Speaker 11: lot of contact, and you add intent, you add the
26:09
Speaker 11: intent to do damage, you add bat speed, and that's
26:13
Speaker 11: where you get a team that not only struck out
26:15
Speaker 11: less than everybody else in this postseason, but also slugged
26:18
Speaker 11: better than everybody else in postseason. It's really kind of
26:21
Speaker 11: a model in a way for the Mariners to think
26:23
Speaker 11: about things, is can we get guys that make contact,
26:27
Speaker 11: but not just like the early clements of the world, Like,
26:30
Speaker 11: can we get guys that make contact and can add
26:32
Speaker 11: power to that?
26:34
Speaker 2: You know, last thing in the marriage becase I'm gonna
26:36
Speaker 2: ask you for a just a quick thought on the
26:38
Speaker 2: World Series in a second. As painful as that may
26:40
Speaker 2: be for Seattle fans here, there's still baseball fans out
26:42
Speaker 2: here before I get to that matchup. So the thought
26:47
Speaker 2: would be this, like, he get you finally cross that
26:49
Speaker 2: threshold under Jerry to Poto, you get to the Alcs,
26:52
Speaker 2: you win a division title. You've got a lot of
26:55
Speaker 2: your core guys under contract. Now you've got to figure
26:57
Speaker 2: out the nailor situation. Polanco's gonna opt out. What do
27:00
Speaker 2: you do with Geno?
27:00
Speaker 3: Do you let them walk?
27:01
Speaker 2: All those things, so there's a few decisions in the
27:03
Speaker 2: off season. The glass half full would be, you know, hey,
27:06
Speaker 2: this team is just at the start of something. A
27:09
Speaker 2: lot of people comparing it to the twenty twelve Seahawks.
27:11
Speaker 2: It got to the second round of the playoffs and
27:14
Speaker 2: you can see something special is there? They win a
27:16
Speaker 2: super Bowl the next year. I know it's a different sport,
27:17
Speaker 2: but that was kind of a comparison people have used.
27:20
Speaker 2: The other thing. I would think this is glass half empty.
27:23
Speaker 2: Me being Mariner fans in seventy seven, got to the
27:25
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles. Are they going to fall apart after one year?
27:28
Speaker 2: But that's injuries and other thing. So when you look
27:31
Speaker 2: from thirty thousand feet, you know where this team is
27:34
Speaker 2: heading into the off season and heading into twenty twenty six,
27:37
Speaker 2: how optimistic or pessimistic should Mariner fans be?
27:41
Speaker 11: I feel pretty good, actually, I feel pretty good. The
27:45
Speaker 11: you know, in terms of what you're losing off this roster.
27:49
Speaker 11: You know, Polonco, Gino, Mitch Garver, you know, that's and
27:56
Speaker 11: Josh Naylor, those the main ones. But it does look
28:00
Speaker 11: like you have, you know, fifty million dollars maybe to spend.
28:05
Speaker 11: And they did just make a bunch of money playing
28:09
Speaker 11: in the playoffs. So if they go past where they
28:12
Speaker 11: were last year, could you spend sixty or seventy million?
28:15
Speaker 11: And if you if you spend sixty million dollars off season,
28:18
Speaker 11: I think you come back with Naylor. I think you
28:21
Speaker 11: come back with another bat, you know, on top of that,
28:25
Speaker 11: and if you add two bats back and those two
28:28
Speaker 11: bats make a lot of contact and hit the power,
28:31
Speaker 11: I think Naylor is just a great fit. I think
28:33
Speaker 11: he just needs to stay. I think that you can
28:37
Speaker 11: you can keep pace with last year. I think you
28:39
Speaker 11: can at least keep pace with last year. And then
28:40
Speaker 11: on top of that, just Julio himself this year during
28:44
Speaker 11: the season showed a lot of growth in terms of
28:46
Speaker 11: making more contact, having a better approach. Some of that
28:49
Speaker 11: fell apart in the postseason, but I think, you know,
28:52
Speaker 11: I saw Barry Bonds in San Francisco. They said, oh,
28:55
Speaker 11: he can't do it in the postseason, and then he
28:57
Speaker 11: did and my theory on the postseason and sometimes as
29:01
Speaker 11: young players just get to give him more chances. You
29:02
Speaker 11: got to get him back there. You got to get
29:04
Speaker 11: him back there. So I think if you get Julio
29:05
Speaker 11: back to the postseason, he's going to be better. And
29:09
Speaker 11: every time you do that, he's going to be better.
29:11
Speaker 11: So I do think that there are yes, maybe cal
29:14
Speaker 11: Raley won't have the same kind of season again, but
29:17
Speaker 11: there's they're in good financial straits and most of their
29:20
Speaker 11: teams come back.
29:22
Speaker 3: Quick thought on Dodgers Toronto.
29:26
Speaker 11: It's it's hard to pick against the star power the Dodgers,
29:29
Speaker 11: and not because I think just stars define things, but
29:32
Speaker 11: if you kind of look at the rotation, you'll take
29:35
Speaker 11: the Dodgers starter almost every time. If you look at
29:39
Speaker 11: the lineup and you line up stars, you end up
29:42
Speaker 11: with one more star on the Dodgers every time, even
29:44
Speaker 11: if you line up to the bottom of the order, you're like,
29:47
Speaker 11: these are comparable. And so I don't really see a
29:50
Speaker 11: place where the Blue Jays are clearly superior, and I
29:53
Speaker 11: see a couple of places where the Dodgers.
29:57
Speaker 2: You know, we've really appreciated you coming on this year.
30:01
Speaker 2: Our guy Brendon Funston is coming up top of the
30:02
Speaker 2: hours week we visit with us. He gave us your name,
30:05
Speaker 2: and uh, it's the best advice and our fantasy guy's
30:08
Speaker 2: ever given us on this show is getting you on.
30:09
Speaker 3: So that says something maybe.
30:13
Speaker 11: This fantasy advice.
30:15
Speaker 7: No it was not.
30:16
Speaker 2: But in all seriousness, we've really we've gotten smart. We
30:20
Speaker 2: get smarter every week when we have you on, and
30:22
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that, and hopefully we can do this
30:25
Speaker 2: again next year. Here's the other good news. Justinman has
30:27
Speaker 2: your numbers, so there might be a chance we bother
30:29
Speaker 2: you in the off season as well. Once she has
30:31
Speaker 2: somebody's number, it doesn't go away, so that could happen.
30:36
Speaker 11: I I I offered, I'll be at the Winter meetings
30:40
Speaker 11: and they will. They will be making some moves. It's
30:43
Speaker 11: trader Jerry, He's gonna make some moves. I would love
30:46
Speaker 11: to call in and talk about some of this from
30:48
Speaker 11: the Winter meetings and love to do this again next

31:18

31:45
Speaker 1: This is the Daily power Play and you're home for
31:53
Speaker 1: the Sports Radio ninety three point three k j r
31:57
Speaker 1: f M. The Daily power Play is brought to you
32:02
Speaker 1: by Sakwahonda, Comoda, the logest inventory of Koboda Equipment.
32:06
Speaker 6: And Kane County.

32:13
Speaker 1: the Seattle Kraken with the inf NEETs.
32:17
Speaker 2: Daily power Play, great new open, well done, love that,
32:19
Speaker 2: getting all voices on their fantastic stuff.
32:22
Speaker 3: Cracking tonight.
32:23
Speaker 2: Wrap up a six game road trip that's about as
32:25
Speaker 2: difficult as it gets there in Winnipeg and take on
32:28
Speaker 2: the Jets, last year's President's Trophy winner. Is the best
32:31
Speaker 2: record in the regular season. Winnipeg is really really good.
32:35
Speaker 2: They've been really good against Seattle as well. Uh kracking
32:39
Speaker 2: in five games three and two in their last five
32:42
Speaker 2: games against this particular team. Now here's a thing. Last
32:46
Speaker 2: year they got a point in two of those three
32:48
Speaker 2: meetings with the Jets. That's the good news. The bad
32:50
Speaker 2: news is they are both loser points. But you know what,
32:52
Speaker 2: you take them against that team. No chance, zero chance
32:56
Speaker 2: that they would admit this right now. But if you
32:58
Speaker 2: get a point tonight, that's a bonus. Like that's a bonus.
33:01
Speaker 2: You come home three, two and three, that's all right,
33:03
Speaker 2: you would You would take that all day to toughs
33:05
Speaker 2: letting tonight. Connor Hillibec's gonna start in goal. Arguably the
33:08
Speaker 2: best regular season goalie in the league.
33:09
Speaker 3: He's not very good.
33:10
Speaker 2: In the playoffs sometimes, but he has and the team
33:13
Speaker 2: as a whole. Winnipeg has allowed just two point zero
33:19
Speaker 2: goals per game in the last two seasons at home.
33:22
Speaker 2: They are really good. Defensively, they're really good. They're unbeaten
33:25
Speaker 2: when they score first as well. Mark Scheifeley has seven
33:28
Speaker 2: goals to leave the NHL. I mean it's a it's
33:31
Speaker 2: a tall task. Good news is looks like Sea How's
33:33
Speaker 2: gonna get Mason Marchman back tonight in the lineup, so
33:36
Speaker 2: that'll be good. They missed the game on Tuesday in Washington,
33:40
Speaker 2: was banged up. There's still a team that has hurt
33:42
Speaker 2: or the Kraken, A lot of guys out. Brandon mont
33:45
Speaker 2: Tour is still out, Coppo Cockles still out for probably
33:48
Speaker 2: another week or two along the way. Still no Jared McCann.
33:52
Speaker 2: You're missing a lot of firepower on that team. But
33:55
Speaker 2: so what they can do tonight the Lane Lambert's team.
33:58
Speaker 2: I whatever record they I'm home at three, three and two, four,
34:02
Speaker 2: two and two, whatever they come home with record wise.
34:05
Speaker 2: And the next game is at home on Saturday against Edmonton.
34:10
Speaker 2: I'll scream this from the Mountaintops. This is a far
34:12
Speaker 2: better hockey team than a year ago. I think it
34:15
Speaker 2: starts with the coaching staff. I think we have seen
34:17
Speaker 2: it are already. They've had one stinker, to be honest
34:20
Speaker 2: with you, and that was Monday in Philadelphia. They just
34:23
Speaker 2: didn't show up to that game. They weren't nearly where
34:25
Speaker 2: they needed to be. The game against the Capitols a
34:29
Speaker 2: little closer than expected. That's also really I mean, they're
34:32
Speaker 2: the second best team in the NHL last year record wise.
34:34
Speaker 2: I mean, they're really good. And Seattle played with them.
34:36
Speaker 2: Matt Murray played well in goal, probably one to one
34:39
Speaker 2: back and you know, empty neckle at the end of the decider.
34:42

Speaker 2: in one second. And we had a few people that
37:23
Speaker 2: much like back in the days of the hydros might
37:25
Speaker 2: have jumped the starter gun there, might have come across
37:27
Speaker 2: and start finish line too early. We had a few
37:28

37:45
Speaker 6: think I feel like I've aged five years since we
37:48
Speaker 6: talked last. But if ever see IM a sports fan
37:52
Speaker 6: needed some fantasy football as a diversion.
37:55
Speaker 3: This is the week.
37:56
Speaker 6: So there we go. What a week it is by mcgeddon,
37:59
Speaker 6: by the way, way six teams on buy. So it's
38:02
Speaker 6: a problematic week all around.
38:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the start of some people's problems. It's also,
38:07
Speaker 2: you know, just part of many problems that some of
38:09
Speaker 2: us have. We'll get to that in a second. Rob Eddian, all.
38:12
Speaker 3: Right, let's go. We'll start as always. Look at this.
38:15
Speaker 3: Mike and Edmonds called in on time this week. Hi Mike,
38:17
Speaker 3: how are you?
38:19
Speaker 11: Hi?
38:19
Speaker 8: En? Hi Brandon? Oh teezy. Guys. What I want more
38:24
Speaker 8: than anything is I want somebody besides a rose arena
38:27
Speaker 8: and is clueless hacks.
38:29
Speaker 2: So I don't think we can help you with that,
38:31
Speaker 2: but we can help you. Brandan can help you with fantasy.
38:33
Speaker 8: Football probably so probably, So okay, here we go full PPR.
38:40
Speaker 8: I just need one of these four guys to fill
38:42
Speaker 8: in a flex position, Carlos Sutton, Davonte Williams, Jordan Addison,
38:50
Speaker 8: or is A Flowers and extra. Thanks for doing this today.
38:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, Mike, absolutely. You know it's pretty close between Courtland
38:57
Speaker 6: Sutton and Javonte Williams. But uh, you know Cortland Suttons
39:00
Speaker 6: at home against the best matchup for a wide receiver
39:04
Speaker 6: in the Dallas Cowboy. So give me Courtland Sutton in
39:06
Speaker 6: that one.
39:07
Speaker 3: Perfect, all right. Next we go to the two five
39:11
Speaker 3: three area code Ricky and Tacoma. Hi, Ricky, there we go.
39:17
Speaker 3: Hey Ricky, there you are. How are you? How's it going, ladies?
39:20
Speaker 12: Gentlemen?
39:21
Speaker 3: All right?
39:21
Speaker 12: Good, no more stress, just fantasy football and Hawks.
39:24
Speaker 11: All right?
39:26
Speaker 3: What do you got? All right?
39:28
Speaker 7: Brandon?
39:28
Speaker 13: Okay, I got half point TPR between Jackson Dart and
39:33
Speaker 13: Caleb Williams.
39:33
Speaker 6: Which one should I go with? Yeah, that's a good
39:36
Speaker 6: question I have. I have Caleb Williams one spot ahead
39:39
Speaker 6: of Jackson Dart. They're both on the road. The Ravens
39:42
Speaker 6: secondary has been problematic this year, so I'm gonna give
39:45
Speaker 6: Klein Caleb Williams a nod. But uh, splitting hairs.
39:50
Speaker 3: That thanks, Ricky, we appreciate Brenda. Is that question you
39:52
Speaker 3: expected three weeks ago? Four weeks ago?
39:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it's crazy, but yeah, there you go. I
39:59
Speaker 6: have I'm both like it's twelve and thirteen, so they're
40:02
Speaker 6: bubble quarterback ones in my mind.
40:04
Speaker 2: But well, let's see how this is gonna go. Let's
40:09
Speaker 2: go to line one, Jess, Rob is in?
40:11
Speaker 3: Where else? Bury? And Hi? Rob m.
40:20
Speaker 5: Oh no. I had such a depressing conversation with him.
40:23
Speaker 3: Robbie.
40:24
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, let's let's try that again. Rob and Buriy
40:26
Speaker 2: and you're on. Let's try one more time.
40:29
Speaker 12: This is dumb, man, I don't understand what I'm doing.
40:35
Speaker 6: Great, you know that's what happened. Maybe that threw you off. Yeah,
40:38
Speaker 6: well I think we're back to normal though. I think
40:40
Speaker 6: if it was worried about the world turning upside down, I.
40:43
Speaker 3: Think we're back. It's it's old. Rob is back. So Rob,
40:45
Speaker 3: what's going on? Buddy? What do you got? What do
40:47
Speaker 3: you got for Brandon?
40:49
Speaker 11: Well? Not in last place?
40:50
Speaker 12: So this is good.
40:51
Speaker 11: So do we go Panis or Stroud?
40:56
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Panis. I assume he's going to play.
41:00
Speaker 6: It's it sounds like he is sounds like it's just
41:03
Speaker 6: a bruise and h he's gonna go. I like the
41:06
Speaker 6: match up against Miami's. He plays great at home, so
41:09
Speaker 6: uh yeah, gimme gimme Panics, all.
41:11
Speaker 2: Right, Robin burre In so little melancholy today. Not sure
41:14
Speaker 2: if I like that? Uh we we we always do this.
41:17
Speaker 2: We just go back to back, Sultan. Let's start with
41:20
Speaker 2: Steven in Sultan. First, Hey Steven, Hey, guys, So to say,
41:26
Speaker 2: my whole almost my whole team decided to take the
41:28
Speaker 2: week off for some reason.
41:29
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
41:29
Speaker 11: I guess they're all upset about the Mars and we'll
41:31
Speaker 11: lose in so hey.
41:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's we're all blame. Blame the NFL. They don't like.
41:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I need a miracle poll from you this week.
41:43
Speaker 11: I need a running back, Justice Hill, Kath Gainwell, homage Preen,
41:49
Speaker 11: Isaiah Davis or Jeremy McNichols.
41:52
Speaker 3: It's a bad Pole week.
41:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's see, I'm just looking down my list here.
41:57
Speaker 6: You said, Isaiah Davis, I'm gonna go Kenneth Gainwell, and
42:04
Speaker 6: that's you know, I have Gainwell just ahead of Isaiah Davis,
42:08
Speaker 6: Justice Hills right after, and then Samajh p Ryan's a
42:11
Speaker 6: little bit further down than that. If if Kyle Manana
42:16
Speaker 6: is still out there, it's probably a pretty popular pick up.
42:18
Speaker 6: Brashott Smith Burshart Smith I like a little bit better
42:21
Speaker 6: than those guys as well. But yeah, I think of
42:24
Speaker 6: the guys you listed, I would go gain Well.
42:26
Speaker 2: All right, next up we stay in Sultan. We get
42:30
Speaker 2: with Derek in Sultan.
42:32
Speaker 13: Next Hey, Derek, Well that's up, guys, rough bye week
42:36
Speaker 13: this week?
42:37
Speaker 2: Geezy, hey Derek, real quick. I think we've asked you
42:41
Speaker 2: this before. Have you and ste Are you and Stephen
42:43
Speaker 2: in the same league?
42:44
Speaker 3: Have you ever met?
42:44
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's odd every week we get two
42:47
Speaker 2: guys both from Sultan.
42:49
Speaker 3: You two guys back to back. Have you guys ever met?
42:53
Speaker 1: You know?
42:53
Speaker 13: Sultan's a small town, but it's not that small. More
42:57
Speaker 13: than there's more than two or three people there.
42:59
Speaker 6: No, I have not met.
43:01
Speaker 13: Him, but maybe maybe at the local Red Apple and
43:04
Speaker 13: we just don't know it.
43:05
Speaker 3: All right, there you go, all right, what do you got, Derek?
43:09
Speaker 13: So I need one of these four in a flex.
43:13
Speaker 13: It's between Tony Pollard, DJ Moore, Aaron Jones and the
43:21
Speaker 13: Chargers tight end, which I'm not gonna try to pronounce
43:25
Speaker 13: his name. It's like, yeah, yeah, Chargers got his center or.
43:30
Speaker 14: Something like that.
43:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna steer away from Pollard. Ty J.
43:36
Speaker 6: Spears is almost pulled even with him in the workload
43:38
Speaker 6: there Aaron Jones. It's his first game back after he's
43:41
Speaker 6: been out for a long time with the hamstring injury.
43:44
Speaker 6: I don't know if they're going to shove him into
43:45
Speaker 6: a big workload. I'm going to lean towards DJ Moore.
43:48
Speaker 6: It does look like with the hip he has a
43:50
Speaker 6: little bit of a banged up hip. He is going
43:51
Speaker 6: to play. I have him like wide receiver thirty. I
43:54
Speaker 6: mentioned it earlier. Baltimore has been rough in the secondary,
43:57
Speaker 6: so I think DJ Moore is the best upside there.
44:00
Speaker 3: All right, perfect. I think we've got a late add
44:02
Speaker 3: on the phone lines. Is that right, Jess? We have
44:04
Speaker 3: a late ad.
44:05
Speaker 4: We have two more left on the line, but we
44:07
Speaker 4: do have one laid ad.
44:09
Speaker 3: His name would be Chris and Bury. Is that right?
44:11
Speaker 5: We do have Chris?
44:12
Speaker 3: All right, let's get Chris on. Chris and Burying. Let's
44:15
Speaker 3: go Chris.
44:17
Speaker 14: Thank you for taking my call. It only took me
44:19
Speaker 14: twenty six tries, so that didn't start till one fifty bad.
44:27
Speaker 14: I need two wide receivers full point PPR out of
44:30
Speaker 14: these four.
44:34
Speaker 3: Shoot, buddy, con't prepare. Let's go PSS. You're better than that.
44:39
Speaker 14: Okay, okay, sorry, Calvin. Ridley 'sharde Shahed, Jordan Addison or
44:44
Speaker 14: Romeo Dubbs, all right, give me too.
44:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think Ridley's gonna play. I don't think
44:50
Speaker 6: he's practice yet this week. It's not looking good, So
44:53
Speaker 6: give me Dobbs and Jordan Addison. I think I haven't
44:58
Speaker 6: decidedly ahead of Shaheed, But yeah, I can't Ridley. I
45:01
Speaker 6: don't expect to play.
45:02
Speaker 3: All right, perfect last call before we go.
45:04
Speaker 2: All the texts including a bulls eye at one o'clock exactly.
45:07
Speaker 3: Let's get Steven Shoreline. Go ahead, Steve.
45:11
Speaker 11: Yeah, I got two receivers is non PPR, which is
45:14
Speaker 11: why I can't make up my mind mcconkeye or Pittman.
45:19
Speaker 11: And also what about Lamar Jackson?
45:22
Speaker 6: Good question, Yeah, Lamar Jackson is returning. It sounds like
45:26
Speaker 6: I like the matchup. It's a hamstring injury. I think
45:29
Speaker 6: that's the reason I don't have him ranked number one
45:31
Speaker 6: with a bull this week. I have him ranked number four,
45:33
Speaker 6: because I wouldn't expect them to turn him loose in
45:35
Speaker 6: the running game too much, probably tell him to kind
45:38
Speaker 6: of hold back on that and not really stress that
45:41
Speaker 6: hamstring too much. So in a standard league, I'm actually
45:45
Speaker 6: gonna go Michael Pittman. I have Maconkey ahead of Pittman
45:49
Speaker 6: and PPR, but Pittman's been a good touchdown score. He
45:51
Speaker 6: has been a guy that Colts get the ball into
45:53
Speaker 6: the red zone they look his way. So I think
45:55
Speaker 6: the touchdown is a bigger, you know deal in a
45:58
Speaker 6: standard league, and I think Pittman had a better chance
46:00
Speaker 6: for that.
46:01
Speaker 2: All right, let's fire away on the music. Let's hit
46:04
Speaker 2: the phone or they hit the text line and one
46:06
Speaker 2: o'clock exactly thirteen, it's on military time, orable text machine
46:11
Speaker 2: thirteen zero zero zero zero. Daniels out, Deebo hobbled, Mariota,
46:18
Speaker 2: Mariota not good.
46:19
Speaker 3: Do I start Troy Franklin instead over Mariota?
46:24
Speaker 6: I would? I would probably still if it sounds like
46:26
Speaker 6: a super flex spot, I would take Mariota. It's not
46:28
Speaker 6: a good matchup, but he does run in any kind
46:31
Speaker 6: of passing numbers to go with that probably raises his
46:34
Speaker 6: floor over Troy Franklin.
46:36
Speaker 2: All right, one second, here's a whole bunch at one
46:38
Speaker 2: second after I need a replacement for Jade and Daniels
46:40
Speaker 2: and not a lot as available Pennix, Roger Stroud or Flocko.
46:44
Speaker 3: I need a miracle.
46:45
Speaker 6: That's to make sure Penix is still is still my
46:48
Speaker 6: number one. He's just ahead of Joe Floco.
46:51
Speaker 3: But I like.
46:51
Speaker 6: Pennis at home against Miami. Just make sure that knee
46:54
Speaker 6: checks out. Okay, if not, go Flocko.
46:56
Speaker 2: And we appreciate Ryan you listening on the iHeartRadio app
46:58
Speaker 2: down in Scottsdale. You are a big time listener for us.
47:02
Speaker 2: We appreciate you.
47:03
Speaker 3: Full.
47:03
Speaker 2: PPR need three Buca Swift flowers, Dobbs Goddard McClaren.
47:09
Speaker 3: That needs three of.
47:10
Speaker 6: Those flowers, Dobbs mcla got it. I don't. I don't
47:15
Speaker 6: like McLaurin paired with Mariota against the Chiefs. He's out. Yeah.
47:20
Speaker 6: I like the first three Agbuca Swift and flowers.
47:23
Speaker 2: Beautiful. Let's see half point. PPR need one running back,
47:26
Speaker 2: one flex Pollard Marx downs and Tes Johnson. Needs one
47:31
Speaker 2: running back and one flex Pollard, Marx downs and Tes Johnson.
47:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, give me Pollard and let's go with Tes Johnson.
47:38
Speaker 6: I like the way he looked last week. Evans is out,
47:40
Speaker 6: Chris Godwin's out. I think he's gonna have another big
47:42
Speaker 6: role this week.
47:43
Speaker 2: Ben says standard scoring need to Collins, Flowers, Higgins or Hubbard.
47:48
Speaker 6: Let's go h Flowers and Higgins only because I don't
47:51
Speaker 6: think Nico Collins is gonna play. He has a concussion.
47:53
Speaker 6: It's pretty hard to get back in a week, so
47:55
Speaker 6: so far he hasn't practiced. I'm dubious if he does play,
47:59
Speaker 6: go with Colins, and I think would sit Flowers in
48:03
Speaker 6: that situation.
48:04
Speaker 2: Fust and I still have a bunch of one second
48:06
Speaker 2: after that's insane. Bow Knicks or Drake May twelve teen PPR, Yeah,
48:11
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys.
48:13
Speaker 6: I have bow Knicks actually ranked ahead of Drake May
48:16
Speaker 6: this week because May is going against Cleveland. It's a
48:18
Speaker 6: pretty tough matchup. Bo Knicks lighting it up in the
48:21
Speaker 6: fourth quarter last week, and I think that carries over
48:23
Speaker 6: in such a soft matchup this week.
48:25
Speaker 2: Ben, do you think when he tells us BONNICKX or
48:27
Speaker 2: Drake May and I'm in a twelve teen PPR, he's
48:29
Speaker 2: trying to let us tell that He's not stupid, he's
48:32
Speaker 2: just it's just that's what it is.
48:34
Speaker 6: Like like, b you think that's a humble brag.
48:36
Speaker 3: I think it's more like I had no choice besides
48:38
Speaker 3: bon Nick or Drake May. Don't blame me. It's a
48:41
Speaker 3: twelve team PPR league.
48:43
Speaker 6: Drake May is like one of the best quarterbacks in
48:44
Speaker 6: the league.
48:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe right, need three? AJ Brown, Rice Addison, Pittman
48:51
Speaker 2: or Sutton?
48:52
Speaker 3: Need three?
48:54
Speaker 6: Uh Pittman and Okay, so let's go with Rice, Sutton
48:59
Speaker 6: and A. J. Brown. But you gotta watch. He hasn't practiced.
49:03
Speaker 6: I think it's more of like maintenance. He says it's
49:05
Speaker 6: a hamstring deal, but I expect him to play. So Sutton,
49:09
Speaker 6: Brown and Rice full PPR Dowdell or Hubbard, Yeah, gotta go.
49:15
Speaker 6: Gotta go Rico Dowdell even if they split. Dabell has
49:18
Speaker 6: been more efficient than Hubbard, but I would not be
49:20
Speaker 6: surprised if Dawdalls starts to pull ahead of Hubbard in
49:23
Speaker 6: that workloads.
49:24
Speaker 2: Well, this person wants to know your top seven tight
49:26
Speaker 2: ends projected to score touchdowns this week. That's probably more
49:29
Speaker 2: of a gambling question, but who are your top guys
49:31
Speaker 2: that might score touchdowns.
49:32
Speaker 6: I mean, you just go with the top guys because
49:35
Speaker 6: they were gonna get the most volume and they give
49:36
Speaker 6: them the best chance to score touchdowns. So Tucker Craft,
49:39
Speaker 6: Tyler Warren, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, Dallas Goddard, and Travis Kelsey.
49:46
Speaker 2: Jouncey Bilt. Yeah, Chauncey Bilich, we appreciate your question for
49:48
Speaker 2: that player prop there Keenan Allen or Jalen Warren. That's
49:53
Speaker 2: from Devaughon and Olympia.
49:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'll go with with Keenan Allen. Just
49:58
Speaker 6: do not like, uh, do not like the matchup for
50:00
Speaker 6: Jalen Warren this week against the Green Bay Packers.
50:03
Speaker 3: By the way, that's our first two seconds after the hour.
50:06
Speaker 3: That's just you guys. Are you guys?
50:07
Speaker 5: We got a lot today?
50:08
Speaker 2: They never ever you guys don't disappoint Honestly, it's it's
50:12
Speaker 2: kind of cool. I'll see this every week. Keith Miller
50:15
Speaker 2: half point PPR, DK Diggs.
50:17
Speaker 3: And he says he loves you guys.
50:22
Speaker 6: Better not get this wrong. Then let's go with Let's
50:26
Speaker 6: go with DK. Thanks green Bay.
50:28
Speaker 3: That wasn't even my question, but I like it.
50:31
Speaker 6: Stroud or Mariota, I you know, what it's Stroud against
50:36
Speaker 6: San Francisco. We saw them.
50:38
Speaker 3: There's no tough, no Nico Collins.
50:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm gonna I'm still gonna go. Yeah, I'm
50:43
Speaker 6: gonna go with Mariota again. That rushing upside floor kind
50:47
Speaker 6: of raises it. Stroud doesn't run a whole lot, and
50:49
Speaker 6: that San Francisco defense has been tough even with all
50:51
Speaker 6: their injuries.
50:52
Speaker 2: I get a couple more here before we go to
50:53
Speaker 2: the top. Here, I need two PPR tight end Andrews
50:57
Speaker 2: one title. Okay, dude, you guys have to do a
50:59
Speaker 2: better job, can't.
51:00
Speaker 3: I can't read that.
51:01
Speaker 2: Uh, Jamie from Allen says, who do I put in
51:03
Speaker 2: my flex Keenan, Allen, Sutton or Judkins.
51:06
Speaker 6: I would go with. I would go with Courtland Sutton
51:08
Speaker 6: against Dallas.
51:09
Speaker 14: I like.
51:10
Speaker 6: I like Judkins a lot, but New England's been tough
51:12
Speaker 6: against the run. Uh let's see.
51:14
Speaker 3: Oh this is interesting only because I've got juice on
51:17
Speaker 3: this one. Thank you. Uh full point PPR. Need one
51:21
Speaker 3: monong Guy or Crosskey Merrit.
51:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's pretty close. I like Monoan Guy, but
51:27
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Krosskey Merrit against Kansas City. Having
51:30
Speaker 6: two spots ahead of Manang Guy.
51:33
Speaker 2: Uh, sit one Kittle, Jake Ferguson, Krosskey Merit or Ramandre
51:39
Speaker 2: Stevenson sit.
51:40
Speaker 3: One Um.
51:43
Speaker 6: Who was the second tight end?
51:45
Speaker 3: Uh, he needs to.
51:47
Speaker 2: Sit one Kittle, Jake Ferguson, Krosskey Merit or Ramandre Stevenson.
51:51
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna sit Crosskey merrit there. You know
51:53
Speaker 6: it is National tight end day of this weekend.
51:55
Speaker 13: So uh.
51:56
Speaker 6: And in the last two years they've had that tight
51:58
Speaker 6: ends have gone off. It's just been kind of one
52:00
Speaker 6: of those weird one of those weird phenomenons. But you know,
52:04
Speaker 6: just something to put in the back of your of
52:06
Speaker 6: your mind.
52:06
Speaker 2: I guess full PPR Chase Brown or Kamani Videll let's go.
52:12
Speaker 6: Uh, let's go with I kind of like Kamani Vadali
52:15
Speaker 6: don't have they don't have Hassan Hoskins there, He's gonna
52:19
Speaker 6: get a lot of runs. So give me vadalas lightly
52:21
Speaker 6: ahead of Chase Brown.
52:23
Speaker 2: All right, we love trade questions. This is from Ryan.
52:26
Speaker 2: I have Sam Donald on the bench. Okay, With that
52:28
Speaker 2: in mind, should I package Hurts and DeVante Smith for
52:31
Speaker 2: a better wide receiver?
52:32
Speaker 3: If so? Any thoughts on who to target.
52:35
Speaker 6: Oh, I you know, I mean I'm playing Hurts over
52:39
Speaker 6: Sam Donald. Say you might, you might want to think
52:41
Speaker 6: about trading Sam Donald. I don't. I don't know why
52:44
Speaker 6: you would keep Sam Darnal around other than for the
52:46
Speaker 6: fact that you want him during Hurts his bye week,
52:48
Speaker 6: but every other week you just want to play Hurts.
52:50
Speaker 2: So I did see a couple of these same questions
52:53
Speaker 2: early and some late. What's Igbucha's status?
52:56
Speaker 6: Uh, he is got a hamstring injury. I think I
53:00
Speaker 6: think he was limited in practice today, so I think
53:03
Speaker 6: he's trending towards playing. I have him ranked as my
53:05
Speaker 6: sixth wide receiver this week. Seeming he plays, he's gonna
53:09
Speaker 6: get a ton of targets. And I'll leave it with
53:11
Speaker 6: this one. I texted in a couple of weeks ago
53:14
Speaker 6: about if I should be done with Pollard. I don't
53:16
Speaker 6: have a question, Brandon. I'm just done with Pollard.
53:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it.
53:21
Speaker 6: I'm like running back twenty nine thirty this week, and
53:25
Speaker 6: that's in a sixteen bye week, so I'm kind of
53:27
Speaker 6: done with him as well.
53:28
Speaker 3: Who who would you be done with? More Pollard? Or
53:31
Speaker 3: even though he's on a buy this week, Our good
53:33
Speaker 3: buddy Ken Walker the third.
53:37
Speaker 6: I still feel like there's there's hope and like a
53:40
Speaker 6: few a couple explosions along the way for Walker, I
53:43
Speaker 6: don't I don't feel like that with with Pollard, So yeah,
53:47
Speaker 6: I'm more d.
53:48
Speaker 2: Ian and mable Valley wants to know, is is Ken
53:51
Speaker 2: our Ken Walker slash Zach Charbonay the same as Isaiah
53:55
Speaker 2: Pacheco and Kareem Hunt.
53:57
Speaker 3: One guy gets you there, the other guy gets it
53:59
Speaker 3: in the end zone.
53:59
Speaker 6: I think it's an upper I think we have the
54:01
Speaker 6: upper middle class version of those guys.
54:03
Speaker 3: So okay, all right, all right. I liked that. For
54:06
Speaker 3: people who didn't get their question answered, how can they do?

Speaker 6: Okay, I'm just.
56:14
Speaker 3: I just got text manders. He wanted to make sure
56:15
Speaker 3: that you knew it wasn't a Monday.
56:16
Speaker 5: Oh oh, of course I triple check.
56:21
Speaker 4: These days, these double headers really really throw me for
56:24
Speaker 4: a loop.
56:24
Speaker 5: Sometimes they throw everybody for a loop.
56:26
Speaker 2: Nobody likes Nobody likes this. These the double headers are
56:28
Speaker 2: done on Monday, and stop those No, I don't think.
56:32
Speaker 2: I think the only fan is the NFL or a
56:34
Speaker 2: network on the way that makes money. Okay, I'm hunting
56:36
Speaker 2: and pecking here through the text on I found a few.
56:39
Speaker 2: Here we go two, five, three. Of course this affects
56:42
Speaker 2: US expansion since Vegas is one of the teams. Can
56:44
Speaker 2: you imagine them announcing Vegas gets an expansion team after this?
56:47
Speaker 6: Lol?
56:48
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it matters.
56:49
Speaker 2: Vegas is supposedly gonna get a baseball team, and we
56:52
Speaker 2: just saw a bunch of guys from the Cleveland Guardians
56:54
Speaker 2: get busted for gambling.
56:55
Speaker 6: That didn't matter.
56:56
Speaker 2: NFL doesn't seem to care, Hockey doesn't seem to care
56:59
Speaker 2: about big Vegas actually does a good job pleasing itself.
57:01
Speaker 2: I don't think you're you're not worried about Vegas. You're
57:04
Speaker 2: worried about what happened today was with Chauncey and and Rosier.
57:08
Speaker 2: Those guys were involved.
57:09
Speaker 3: With the mafia. Some underground stuff is organized crime. Fans
57:13
Speaker 3: like four organized crime families that were involved with that.
57:15
Speaker 2: So I don't think they're worried about Vegas as much
57:18
Speaker 2: as well, Uh talking about the refusal talk, he hadn't
57:22
Speaker 2: talking about this Ian. It's the main story national news.
57:24
Speaker 2: No worries of all leagues. I'm glad it happened to
57:25
Speaker 2: this one. Yeah, a lot of people are saying that
57:27
Speaker 2: actually kind of funny it happened to the NBA.
57:29
Speaker 5: I I was, I was chuckling as I read this
57:32
Speaker 5: story this morning.
57:34
Speaker 2: I had I just said, you know what, you deserve
57:36
Speaker 2: that man? You you you deserve that, Adam Silver, Oh no,
57:42
Speaker 2: thank you to Gino. He strikes out way too much. Yeah,
57:48
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess for a variety of reasons, For a
57:52
Speaker 2: variety of reasons, there's probably we're probably not gonna see
57:55
Speaker 2: Gino back.
57:56
Speaker 6: I don't know.
57:57
Speaker 2: I gotta be interesting what his market value is. We'll
58:00
Speaker 2: talk about that. We're gonna do a whole off season
58:02
Speaker 2: preview with Nate and Chris coming up on Monday. But
58:04
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see what his market value.
58:06
Speaker 6: Is in the off season.
58:08
Speaker 2: Let's see, Springer could have hit a homer off of anyone.
58:12
Speaker 2: There's no way of predicting. That was when our coment
58:13
Speaker 2: we had our conversation with EO Sarahs today. If you
58:15
Speaker 2: missed that, it was really good. I thought, you know,
58:17
Speaker 2: did a great job of discussing exactly how and what
58:22
Speaker 2: we were talking about with.
58:24
Speaker 3: The pitching decisions.
58:27
Speaker 2: He didn't like the decision to go to Bizarro either,
58:29
Speaker 2: but it was for a different reason and everybody else
58:31
Speaker 2: has been discussing.
58:31
Speaker 3: So maybe go take a listen to that.
58:33
Speaker 2: If you haven't on the podcast, go the iHeartRadio ad
58:36
Speaker 2: app and you can check it out on our page.
58:38
Speaker 3: Because I think he's right. I think there's a there's
58:41
Speaker 3: a pretty good one in there about that as well.
58:44
Speaker 3: I want more.
58:45
Speaker 6: We get to it just before we get to factor fiction.
58:48
Speaker 2: Let's see, Ian, can you please play the kind of
58:54
Speaker 2: you saying the Blue Jays will not win this series
58:56
Speaker 2: from being down to nothing. If we're asking fans to
58:58
Speaker 2: pull out all their superstitions, you.
59:00
Speaker 3: Pulled out the worst. Okay, time out. I said that.
59:04
Speaker 2: I'll stand by that one. Say I'd say it again.
59:09
Speaker 2: They're up to nothing with two wins on the road.
59:13
Speaker 2: There's not a fiber in my being that could have
59:15
Speaker 2: fathomed and imagined that Toronto would win four or five
59:20
Speaker 2: against Seattle, and that's exactly what they did. You want
59:25
Speaker 2: to say superstitions, Fine, you want to believe in that, Fine.
59:28

1:01:43
Speaker 4: Well, it is I'm going against my blood here. I
1:01:46
Speaker 4: am choosing the Bengals minus six and a half as.
1:01:51
Speaker 5: They host the Jets.
1:01:53
Speaker 4: And so that is this Sunday at ten am Pacific time.
1:01:58
Speaker 4: This Sunday, Bengals minus six and a half. They are
1:02:03
Speaker 4: hosting the New York Jets. Now, the Jets, the wheels
1:02:06
Speaker 4: have come off when it comes to this.
1:02:09
Speaker 3: Team, Jess, I don't know if they were ever on.
1:02:11
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if.
1:02:12
Speaker 4: This was like a tinker toot situation where you know,
1:02:15
Speaker 4: you use an Allen wrench to put those things on.
1:02:18
Speaker 4: Maybe Dad just said it would work and it didn't.
1:02:21
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, And and maybe you could put me
1:02:24
Speaker 4: in the root to be wrong category, except I know
1:02:27
Speaker 4: I'm not. And so I am just going with Cincinnati
1:02:32
Speaker 4: in this situation because I know I know better. I
1:02:36
Speaker 4: know better, and I honestly think that's generous for them
1:02:40
Speaker 4: to only be six and a half point under.
1:02:42
Speaker 3: Help me a touchdown with the next point you win.
1:02:45
Speaker 3: Jets are zero and seven, yep.
1:02:47
Speaker 5: And they're not due.
1:02:49
Speaker 4: You know when you say, oh, well they're due, they're
1:02:51
Speaker 4: not due. And I and now Tyrod Taylor's hurt too.
1:02:55
Speaker 4: Uh you know it replaced Justin Fields. I mean, and
1:02:58
Speaker 4: now now he's a day to day situation. He's got
1:03:01
Speaker 4: a knee injury. I mean, put in fireman ed at
1:03:05
Speaker 4: this point, what are what are we doing here?
1:03:08
Speaker 5: What are we doing?
1:03:10
Speaker 2: The Jets fan in you tell me you saw or
1:03:13
Speaker 2: heard that Audio Ida kid.
1:03:15
Speaker 3: I was born into this. I was born into this,
1:03:18
Speaker 3: and I hate this team.
1:03:19
Speaker 4: I almost just quoted that I was gonna try.
1:03:23
Speaker 5: To cue up that audio. I was born into this
1:03:26
Speaker 5: and I hate this team. But I'll always be a fan.
1:03:29
Speaker 5: I've never felt more heard.
1:03:31
Speaker 3: Uh oh and seven Jets.
1:03:34
Speaker 2: Cincinnati three and four with the rejuvenated three and four
1:03:38
Speaker 2: thanks to one Joe Flacco.
1:03:41
Speaker 3: M okay, I like to pick. I think it's a
1:03:44
Speaker 3: good pick.
1:03:44
Speaker 2: But of course I say that, and everyone's probably gonna
1:03:46
Speaker 2: text fiction to four nine, four to five one because
1:03:48
Speaker 2: of my track.
1:03:48
Speaker 3: Record this year.
1:03:49
Speaker 4: But I do know what, I just very much, very
1:03:53
Speaker 4: much think that they are going to lose by multiple
1:03:56
Speaker 4: scores in this game.
1:03:57
Speaker 3: All Right.
1:03:58
Speaker 2: Once again, if you're trying, you're trying to win a
1:03:59
Speaker 2: thousand our weekly price. You can't win a thousand dollars
1:04:01

1:04:03
Speaker 2: you're doing. Text fact fact to four nine four or
1:04:07
Speaker 2: five one.
1:04:08
Speaker 3: Or if you.
1:04:08
Speaker 2: Disagree and you think that the Jets are gonna either
1:04:11
Speaker 2: cover and and be within one touchdown and an extra point,
1:04:15
Speaker 2: or maybe you win out right you text fiction.
1:04:19
Speaker 6: Four nine sorry five may it's not gonna happen.
1:04:23
Speaker 2: The Jets are going to go one to eight and
1:04:26

Speaker 15: does on his phone from twenty eleven or whatever a
1:05:58
Speaker 15: year you got.
1:05:59
Speaker 3: Guy Us Johnson made that reference at the start of
1:06:01
Speaker 3: the game.
1:06:02

1:06:05
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:06:05
Speaker 3: I like Isaiah. I wish he wasn't a husky. I
1:06:07

1:06:18
Speaker 7: Hey, who's the next coach of the Blazer is going
1:06:20
Speaker 7: to be?
1:06:21
Speaker 15: Because that guy's done it's hard to coach Blazers from jail,
1:06:24
Speaker 15: by the way, Uh you know what you want to
1:06:26
Speaker 15: be a real jail blazer.
1:06:28
Speaker 2: Well, well, listen, it fits, doesn't it. It's been too
1:06:33
Speaker 2: long since we've been able to use the jail Blazer labs, right,
1:06:37
Speaker 2: It's just been way too long, and it's just yeah,
1:06:41
Speaker 2: Adam Silver, it's your league, buddy.
1:06:43
Speaker 15: Well, Dick and I were talking off the air about this.
1:06:45
Speaker 15: I mean, they're still waiting for a new arena down there,
1:06:47
Speaker 15: and I just kind of wonder what this does to
1:06:49
Speaker 15: everybody's desire to get a new arena built and pay
1:06:52
Speaker 15: a billion dollars to make it happen.
1:06:53
Speaker 7: And it can't help.
1:06:55
Speaker 15: Yeah, right, we know that, Like, first of all, I mean,
1:06:57
Speaker 15: let's face it, man, we're already talking about like we're
1:07:00
Speaker 15: no Central down there already in Portland, right yeah, And
1:07:04
Speaker 15: now we're talking about you know, you're talking about giving
1:07:06
Speaker 15: money to a basketball team who was head coaches going
1:07:09
Speaker 15: to prison for God's sake, unless he unless he turns
1:07:12
Speaker 15: in Tommy two Fingers and Benny Bax, he's going to jail.
1:07:14
Speaker 3: Well, they they just might be safer in jail.
1:07:17
Speaker 2: By the way, he might be They just sold the
1:07:19
Speaker 2: team to a guy that was voted as the worst
1:07:22
Speaker 2: owner in the NHL by every uh by every player and.
1:07:26
Speaker 3: Or agent in the league. And so yeah, that's perfect.
1:07:29
Speaker 15: We last time they played in the conference finals, by
1:07:32
Speaker 15: the way, like five years ago.
1:07:34
Speaker 7: Sorry with STATSI they were there?
1:07:37
Speaker 3: Were they? Who they lose to Dallas or something? I
1:07:40
Speaker 3: think it was. That's a good question. It wasn't, ok
1:07:44
Speaker 3: because that was the Semis they lost to.
1:07:47
Speaker 7: Sorry sorry sorry they lost to UH.
1:07:50
Speaker 3: Gold Say that that was that was the year that Damian.
1:07:56
Speaker 15: I think that's the year they knocked out Okay. See, yeah,
1:07:58
Speaker 15: but there's where's the statue for that? Where's the statue
1:08:01
Speaker 15: for that?
1:08:02
Speaker 7: I think we should put a statue up here.
1:08:06
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. I wanted up here.
1:08:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, so when the Blazers move here, they can just
1:08:10
Speaker 7: take care of it.
1:08:10
Speaker 3: So, oh god, listen to you, just trolling them, just
1:08:13
Speaker 3: trolling them.
1:08:14
Speaker 7: You know, we don't he don't want them, But if
1:08:16
Speaker 7: that's the only option, I'll take them.
1:08:18
Speaker 3: At this point, I don't care. All right, we can And.
1:08:20
Speaker 15: If I came to you and said you got two choices,
1:08:22
Speaker 15: you can never get the NBA back. You can have
1:08:23
Speaker 15: the Blazers right now, give me the Blazers.
1:08:26
Speaker 7: How are we doing?
1:08:27
Speaker 3: Why would I care?
1:08:29
Speaker 7: I told you that you don't Hey, wait a minute,
1:08:31
Speaker 7: time out. Are you violating your no talking?
1:08:33
Speaker 3: I'm not talking.
1:08:33
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about points assists or a guy sitting
1:08:36
Speaker 2: out for load management?
1:08:36
Speaker 15: That's what Okay, boy, you just asked me about Damian
1:08:39
Speaker 15: Lillard beating the thunder. So that's one strike man, three
1:08:43
Speaker 15: strikes against you, and you got to talk about him.
1:08:45
Speaker 11: That was the deal?
1:08:46
Speaker 3: Do do it?
1:08:47
Speaker 7: No, that was the deal.
1:08:48
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm trying to see who that deal was. But
1:08:50
Speaker 3: you tell yours.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: You know that, because all all I remember is the
1:08:56
Speaker 2: last time that we did this, it drove you nuts,
1:08:59
Speaker 2: which made it more un to do.
1:09:00
Speaker 3: No talking, Yeah, because you came in every day going
1:09:03
Speaker 3: I don't get this. I don't understand why you're not talking,
1:09:06
Speaker 3: but you did talk.
1:09:08
Speaker 15: It makes more sense for this than it did for
1:09:10
Speaker 15: the Mariners because we don't have the NBA here.
1:09:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Like, but the Maryors that year was a
1:09:15
Speaker 2: bad year. I'm trying to remember what year it was.
1:09:17
Speaker 2: There's a lot of bad years mixed in there. But uh,
1:09:20
Speaker 2: how are you doing?
1:09:21
Speaker 3: By the way, but how are you doing. How are
1:09:23
Speaker 3: you doing all right?
1:09:24
Speaker 13: You know?
1:09:26
Speaker 3: I got home last night.
1:09:29
Speaker 2: Off, man, I got home last night, and I'll be
1:09:31
Speaker 2: honest with you, it was weird because no hockey game,
1:09:34
Speaker 2: nothing going on.
1:09:35
Speaker 3: And the last few times it's been that way.
1:09:37
Speaker 2: It's like I sit down with my kid and my
1:09:39
Speaker 2: and my wife who became a fan, and we watched
1:09:41
Speaker 2: a baseball game together, right, and honest to god, like
1:09:44
Speaker 2: dead serious, I missed that. Of course we've never of
1:09:47
Speaker 2: course we've never had that as a family. Well, my
1:09:51
Speaker 2: we've never had that.
1:09:52
Speaker 15: And as Gina, as Gina said to me, you got
1:09:54
Speaker 15: to lock it up, man, lock it up, because this
1:09:55
Speaker 15: has been a buzzkill for me. Like and I've been
1:09:58
Speaker 15: I'm sure a giant buzz kill right at home with
1:10:00
Speaker 15: all this stuff. Like ere for crying out loud. Man,
1:10:03
Speaker 15: I'm fifty two years old. I got to stop letting
1:10:05
Speaker 15: this affect my mental states so much. That's my biggest problem.
1:10:08
Speaker 15: I'm fifty two and I still let, you know, twenty
1:10:11
Speaker 15: five year olds dictate my.
1:10:12
Speaker 6: Mood, which is stupid.
1:10:13
Speaker 15: Hell, I let nineteen year old kids do it in
1:10:16
Speaker 15: college dictate my mood, which is even more ridiculous.
1:10:19
Speaker 2: Man, How boring would your life be if you didn't
1:10:22
Speaker 2: have the ebbs and flows the emotions of a sportsman.
1:10:25
Speaker 15: I probably have kids if not for this, I just say,
1:10:27
Speaker 15: all right, I give me the kids, Give me the kids,
1:10:30
Speaker 15: bring them on.
1:10:31
