  Speaker 1: Happy Football Friday. Welcome into the Chuck in the Morning's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: radio program. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM is great to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: have you with us as we get your weekend kicked
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: off here this morning. And Football Fridays are brought to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you by Washington's Beef Farmers and Ranchers Beef. It's what's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: for dinner. We do have a little bit more on
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the Mariners coming up later on in the show. We
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: spent quite a bit of our first hour talking about that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But now we really sink our teeth into Football Friday.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: which will include our Friday conversation with Seahawks insider Greg Bell,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: who will be joining us here in a couple of minutes.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But let me get to your headlines first. They are
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light Cold as the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Rockies Thursday night football. Last night, the Atlanta Falcons defeated
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers 35-14.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Man, man.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: When you add a decent quarterback to the mix, it
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: does change things, does it not? It's funny how that works, Chuck. Yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: because I don't even think he played like vintage Michael
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Penix last night. But just not having someone bad under center,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Drake London goes off, B. John Robinson goes off, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers are in deep, deep, deep trouble.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They look really bad. 35-14 is the final score. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: so that's where our headlines begin this weekend. Some huge
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: games in the National Football League. I think the best
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: slate thus far this NFL season. Also the best college
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: football slate so far this season. Six different games featuring
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: top 25 teams. We'll go over those in the Ocho
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: coming up at 8 o'clock today when we can expand
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on our headlines. The Huskies will start their Big Ten
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: season at home tomorrow night. No, not everybody loves the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: night games. Softie does. But Softie does, and he is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: our leader. So 8 o'clock tomorrow against the Golden Gophers.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Don't you just love it that Minnesota's the Gophers? Who
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: else uses the Gophers? And they've just kept it for
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: 100 years.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's outstanding. It's so Midwest. Like, oh, that's cute. Yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And then they just love their Gophers in Minnesota. So,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Huskies, I think, 10-point favorites, but...
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I don't feel that comfortable heading into this game. We'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: talk more about that a little bit later on in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the show. The Kraken have started their preseason 3-0. They
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: won in a shootout last night, so technically they end
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: up winning 4-3. So I guess they haven't scored four
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: goals in all three of their preseason games because of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the shootout asterisk. But nonetheless, the final score has read...
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: seattle four opponent uh in all three games and so
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: i don't know what that means anders a three and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: oh preseason start.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah probably nothing no probably not i mean you did
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: play most of your starters and you played against guys
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: for calgary who won't be on nhl rosters so take
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: that into account but you know there was some aspect
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: to be positive about.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Sounders are taking on Minnesota United tomorrow, and that will
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: be at 5.30. That's at Lumen Field. And so not
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: only are the Huskies taking on Minnesota, so are the Sounders.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They've been doing this. Yeah, I noticed that. When the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Mariners were playing the Rockies. And so, yeah, it's a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thing they've decided to do, apparently. So Sounders can win
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: their second game in four days when they needed four
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: months to Since their last win in the MLS.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I used to like things in fours. Four months
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: for two wins or four days for two wins?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. It really is. I cannot believe it. I mean,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes we use unbelievable as a throwaway word. I truly
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: cannot believe this season for the Sounders. The Mariners lost
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to the Angels last night 6-4, but they were defeated
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: before the first pitch. The Texas Rangers beat the Mets
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon, and that eliminated officially the Mariners from the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: playoff picture. They were hanging by a gossamer thread. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the Mariners' season is all but over. Certainly any hope
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of extending it is over. They will finish out the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: weekend against the Angels. Rick Riz's final weekend, Dan Wilson's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: final weekend, at least that's the assumption. Could be a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: lot of players' final weekends as Mariners as well. Speaking
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of the baseball playoffs, the Cubs, White Sox, Padres, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Guardians all clinched playoff spots on the same day yesterday.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's going to be sad to watch the Major League
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Baseball playoffs this year. All right, let's talk to Greg Bell.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: As part of our continuing NFL coverage for the 12th man.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: This is 12th Man News, part of Chuck's daily visit
• 4:55

• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the biggest headline of them all here on a football
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Friday is the 2-0 world champion Seattle Seahawks will be
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in Washington, D.C. on Sunday to take on the 0-2
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: commanders who are down their starting quarterback. Joining us now
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell. Good morning, sir.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Happy Washington Beef Friday. Yeah. Football Friday.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That's what's for dinner. Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I heard.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I heard.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You're going to Washington, the city, the capital city. I mean,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: what does that do to you for an Army guy?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Do you like this trip because of, you know, the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: history there?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I do. Yeah, I do. And anyone who hasn't been
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to Washington, D.C., I know people that grow up in
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Seattle or the West Coast maybe have never been. There's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: so much history there and the appreciation for that and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the World War II Memorial, which is very close to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the Washington Monument and the White House and that part
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and the mall and the Capitol and the Smithsonian's. We
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: used to go there every spring to see the cherry
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: blossoms in Washington, D.C. when I was a kid. Growing
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: up in Ohio, it was about a five-hour drive. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: love it. I mean, it's all our history in one place.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: A lot of cities have that. Philadelphia and New York
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and Chicago. but Washington has it just on almost every corner. And, yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: it's cool. It's neat. It's our country, and I do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Arlington National Cemetery. Yeah. Jessamyn McIntyre and
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I were fortunate enough to do an Army-Navy game that
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the radio row one year was at the Arlington National Cemetery,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and it was very somber, and the Tomb of the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Unknown Soldier, and highly recommend if you haven't been to Washington, D.C.,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: of all that you can see there.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Well, soak it up, because I don't think you're going
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to watch much of a football game. I mean, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: realize this is the National Football League, and I realize
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you can't ever take an opponent lightly, but man, Greg,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I just, I mean, we just did our no-cliche keys
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to victory. I just don't see a way that the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Seahawks lose this game against this team in their current
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: state right now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know about you. I agree, and with the
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: caveat of if you don't make mistakes. If you play
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the way the Seahawks have played pretty much since October
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: of last year, they should win going away. But if
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: there's a turnover, if there's another injury, if there's so many,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: there's such a thin line in this league that it
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't take much to change what you think the outcome
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: should be. But we've said it. I've said it. We've
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: said it a couple times. These are the games that
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: under Mike McDonald, the last two seasons especially, even in
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the first year, These are the games they win. They
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: have lost these games in the past, but not with
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald and how he prepares them. They have a
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: mental toughness about them that says they're going to get
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: through this and win no matter what happens. But there's
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff trending toward them getting better than
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: they've been the first two games. And the primary one
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: is that Sam Darnold is back fully participating in practice.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: All signs are he's going to start. and that alone
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: makes him better overall. I know Drew Locke has played well,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: but you want your starting quarterback that won the Super
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Bowl playing, and it looks like he's going to play.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: How excited is Brian Fleury to finally be able to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: call plays for his starting quarterback?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked to Brian Fleury yesterday, and he has
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: kind of just put it together with bubble gum, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: this was not why they hired him and not what
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: he trained at. practiced all summer to do. So, yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: he's only had five plays with his starting quarterback through
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: two games. It's been a unique way to splash in
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: as a new first-time offensive coordinator at any level. He
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: won't admit it, but he hasn't used the whole playbook,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: even with the backup quarterbacks, and now he gets to.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: How will he utilize his running backs, do you think,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on Sunday?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: It looks to me like Judarian Price is going to play.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: He's still listed as a limited participant with that shoulder injury.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they keep writing chest. It seems
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: apparent that he was a shoulder at the time. He
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: was in a sling. Hughes talked about it, and Mike
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: McDonald said, well, it's actually a shoulder. But he's been
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: out to the beginning of practice, to my eye, looks
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: like normal. Now he's a limited participant. Emmanuel Wilson proved
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: last week with his 92 yards that he's going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: get more carries, maybe even if Price is fully healthy,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: but especially if he's not. I bet Price is going
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to be listed as questionable today on the game report,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: injury report. But Emmanuel Wilson, if Price doesn't play, would
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: get the ones reps. And even if he does play,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: he's going to get, I think, 1A reps this week.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And Charbonnet, that didn't come together for this week?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: No, and even if it did, he was only eligible
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to return to practice this week. He still can't play
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: until after the fourth game. So, yeah, he's not returning
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: to practice this week. So he would return to practice
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: next week. I think he's probably not going to be
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: ready right after week four like he's eligible to be
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: if he hasn't practiced by next week.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us, our Seahawks insider. Of course,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you can follow him at gbellseattle.com and thenewstribune.com for complete
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Seahawks coverage every single second of every single day throughout
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the calendar year. And he joins us at 7.05 almost
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: every day to lend his insight and analysis to your
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. And a lot more to discuss on the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: injury front. I mean, Nicky Manwari, of all the defenders
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that I enjoy the most, number three tops the list.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And for this team to have played as well as
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they did defensively in weeks one and two, to get
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: him back, and it sounds like a full catalog of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of participation for Eamon Worry this Sunday? I mean, what
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: has that done to Mike McDonald's mood this week?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets to play defense the way he wants
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: to when Eamon Worry's on the field. He gets to
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: play dime, which they've barely played so far this season,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: six defensive backs. The sixth one is Eamon Worry, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: when he moves up to a hybrid linebacker, he can rush.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: He put a hand on the ground and rushes the
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: defensive end, as he did a couple more times in Arizona.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: They're just different. And an offense has to account for
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: a safety who plays linebacker, who plays defensive end. Is
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: he coming? Is he dropping into coverage? Is he in
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: the middle? Is he outside? Is he inside? He's a
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: problem for offenses. And McDonald hasn't had that problem to
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: utilize on offenses yet. Now he will. He was full
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: participant the last two days, the first full practices since
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the games days before the Super Bowl. He told me
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: in the locker room in Arizona he's full go the
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: rest of the season. He's not missing a snap. Substantially
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: more work is what McDonald said this week for Eamon Worry. So, yes,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: that's a big plus. But the big concern on the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: injury front is Julian Love. Yes, Julian Love hasn't practiced.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: And if you don't practice two days in a row
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: in a game week, there's some concern there. Now, Price or,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: excuse me, Love, Of course, Veteran enough played every position
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in the secondary that he could not practice all week
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: yet still play. But a new calf injury, we'll find
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: out today. There's a vacuum. I was trying to explain
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: this online to people last night. There's a vacuum the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: way the Seahawks give us Mike McDonald every game week.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: We get him before the Wednesday practice, so we don't know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, unless we ask about every single starter, we
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: didn't know on Wednesday that Love had a calf injury
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: because he finished the game in Arizona, at least played
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: when all the starters did before it became a blowout.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Then they, oh, he didn't practice Wednesday. Oh, he didn't
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: practice Thursday. Well, we don't talk to McDonald on Thursday. Oh,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: did he practice Friday or not? Well, the game report
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: comes out at 1 o'clock, and we'll find out what
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: the status is for the game and whether he practiced today.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: And then we talk to McDonald after the practice and
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: after the game report comes out. So that's all three
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: practices this week. yet that we don't talk to McDonald
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: from before the first one until after the last one.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And when someone comes on an injured list and misses
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: practice that we weren't anticipating, we don't know the news
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: of it or the details of it. That's a long-winded
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: way of saying we'll find out today what Julian Love's
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: status is. I can't think he's going to be better
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: than questionable. So as they get him in worry back,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they could still be down.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Two starting safeties because Ty Okada hasn't practiced in three
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: weeks because of his hamstring issue. It looks like Okada's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: going to be out too. So that means Rodney Thomas,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: who got signed this week to the 53, the active
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: roster from the practice squad, is likely going to start again.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Nick Iwanwuri is not supposed to be a back of
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the defense safety.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: So A.J. Finley may end up starting with Thomas and
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Iwanwuri and do a lot of six defensive backs that way.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: But McDonald's plan won't be with the injuries. McDonald's plan
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: won't be let's put Nick even worried back for Julian Love.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I can't see him even worried being a free safety Sunday.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Did you and Condotta and Henderson get side-eyed by McDonald?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Does he now no longer trust you because he got
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: burned by Graham Bensinger?
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: We talked about that yesterday among ourselves and with others
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: in the organization because we want to make sure that
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: we think McDonald's smarter than that, that he can delineate
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: between us and some parachuting entertainment TV guy. We hope.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: We hope. He sees us enough. He should be able
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to trust us better than Graham Benziger. I've been told
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: that Benziger's statement was a lie and that he did
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: not give the Seahawks five days to look at that
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and review it. And he gave it to them as
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: a courtesy right before it went out. And it wasn't
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: even that he gave it to them as a courtesy.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It was Hey, here's a link. You don't have to
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: subscribe or have cable TV or whatever the syndicated show shows.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Here's the link to the entire interview. We're showing it
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: in an hour and a half or whatever. So there
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: wasn't any review. There wasn't any courtesy of, hey, are
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: you okay with that? None of that. And that was
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Graham Bensinger passing the buck is what I've been told.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're going to be fine. I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: like Softie and me and others, we're screwed.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Honestly.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be a little more guarded. I think
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: he'll be a little more guarded now.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: No, I do too. I think overall it's a lesson
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: that he's just going to say, oh, I'm just going
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: to say less. And I hope that, again, I hope
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that people will cover him every day.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: There you go. You think some entertainment TMZ type journalism. Oh, yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get them in town, throw them in a ditch.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Here we go. Commanders on Sunday, 10 o'clock start.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: What is the key to this? How's this thing going
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to go down as you see it?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: It sounds like a broken record, but turnovers. Don't turn
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: the ball. This team is at the point, if their
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: offense doesn't turn the ball over, they're going to win.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: That's the bottom line. there's only right now looking at
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: their schedule, the 49ers game, the Rams game, maybe the
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Broncos game on the road. There aren't too many more
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that I can say. There'll be other factors that Seahawks
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: have to perfect to win right now. Commanders, maybe chargers next,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: probably chargers next week. Don't turn the ball over. You're
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: going to win. That's how well their defense is playing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think the Seahawks are going to have a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: bushel of turnovers in Washington, and I don't think Washington's
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: defense is going to force them. And I think the
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Seahawks win by multiple scores, and I think the Commanders
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: only get one touchdown. It's a broken record, but this
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: is a team that won 12 straight games, a franchise record.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: So the norm, the status quo, it's working, and there's
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: no reason to think it's not going to in D.C. Yeah, exactly.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: All right, what do you got for the show today?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: High school football focus it's going to be Bothell and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Woodinville we're going to talk to both coaches this morning
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: we're going to get into Julian Love's situation and the
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: quarterback situation and a lot of NFL football as well. But, yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Bothell-Woodinville is our featured game, and we'll talk to both
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: coaches at 11 o'clock. All right.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Sounds great. Thank you, sir. We appreciate it. Have a safe,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: fun trip to D.C. Say hello to Abraham Lincoln's monument
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: for me, and we'll do this again next week.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: You know that monument doesn't talk back, right? Oh. I'll
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: say hi, but I don't think so.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It does to people from Illinois, you know. Well, that's true.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I have a connection.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: You do have an entree.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: You do have an entree. I don't. That's true.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Happy weekend.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: We're a tight bond, us Illinoisans.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Greg.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell, joining us right here on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Chuck in the Morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Yeah. Witherspoon, Abe,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and I. So close. We're like this.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Three peas in a pod, really.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: A lot of similarities between all three of those people.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: All right. You know, it's funny because I know in
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the National Football League that you do have to respect
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: every single opponent. Not only do I not respect the commanders,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: not only do I think that they're just in a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: crap place and they're going to have a really long
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: season this year. I just don't think Mike McDonough, i
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: just don't think mike mcdonald teams are ever going to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: be vulnerable to some trapdoor game and win the games
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: they're supposed to i mean i mean think about they've
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: won 12 straight games number one their last loss was
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a two-point narrow loss to the rams back on sunday
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: november 16th they haven't lost by four more than four
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: points since 2024 I mean, they just don't show up.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, they don't play their best all the time.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: They didn't play their best against the Arizona Cardinals. They
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: don't play their best all the time. But I just
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: don't think they're ever going to show up not ready.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're ever going to show up and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: just lay an egg. And I think that's a credit
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to having the best head coach in the National Football League.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's contrary to everything we talked about with
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: the mariners right it's just like you you should you
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: win the games you're supposed to win and even in
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: the games where you don't play well the because you're
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: so well coached because everyone knows their role, and it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: disciplined and focused.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Funny how that works.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Win the games that you're supposed to.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think it could be very similar to the Cardinals
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: game where you don't fly out of the gates. Maybe
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Sam takes a little while to get accustomed to playing
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: with the hip, with the butt. Yeah, that's true. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: maybe there's a little bit of lag, again, like he
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: had against the Cardinals last week. But I think over
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: four quarters... it's going to end up looking like a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: very similar result. All right, coming up next on the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: radio program, we play some fact or fiction at 735.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And in case you missed it, Rick Neuheisel on the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: upcoming college football weekend. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Now
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: back to Check in the Morning.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Brought to you by Tulatip Resort Casino. When all you
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: want is everything. Everythingtulatip.com. On Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Factor Fiction, the latest pick from your morning show.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Coming up at 7.35, your chance at cash. Make sure
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: you're listening. Factor Fiction, 7.35 this morning. But in case
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you missed it, Rick Neweisel, he joins us every Tuesday
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: at 9 o'clock to talk college football. He is our
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: official college football insider, thanks to himself and also Taco Time.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And we've got a big slate of college football action.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Ready for you this weekend. Six matchups with teams in
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the top 25. In case you missed it, we always
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: replace some of our interview with Coach Neuheisel from Tuesday
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and we do it on a Friday. And you're lucky
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: because now we're going to do it. And we'll start
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: when I asked him how he thought about Dan Lanning
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: running up 84 points on Portland State last week.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: I think message delivered by Dan Lanning. And it just
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: was unfortunate that it had to be delivered to the
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: poor Portland state program because they didn't do anything to
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: deserve that. There's a point in time where you can
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: call off the dogs, but he was so upset that
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: there was a lackadaisical kind of effort the week before
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: in Stillwater that he was going to make a point, uh,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: And I think we get that, although I just feel
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: badly that it came at the expense of a program
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: that was obviously overmatched.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: It's going to be.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Interesting to see what happens in Los Angeles. You talk
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: about two fan bases that have been out lost in
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: the wilderness. The Gator fan base, they haven't been part
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: of the college football playoff. And the Trojan fan base,
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: they haven't been part of the college football playoff. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: both of them kind of thought themselves having won national
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: championships in this century, they think of themselves as that
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: kind of program. So both are absolutely giddy about this
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: opportunity to stamp themselves as a legitimate candidate.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Rig new eisel is uh with us our college football
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: insider every tuesday at nine we talk college football with
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: them and we've got a full slate this weekend boy
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: i mean uh we've had the last two weeks just
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: one monster game but we didn't have that slate where
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you know six top 25 matchups well for the first
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: time this season coach we've got that uh and so
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: let's run we've got yeah let's run through a few
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: which which what do you have at cbs let's start
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: We got Iowa at Michigan, which is going to be
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: an absolute slugfest. Iowa actually is moving the ball this year,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: but it's against some lesser competition. When they played Iowa State,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: the only FBS, only Power 14 that they played, they
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: scored 16 points. So I think a 17-13 type of game,
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: but a thriller down the stretch. in the big house,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: and it'll feel like Big Ten football. I promise you.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Why can't Michigan run the ball? I mean, are they,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time, just that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: suspicious up front?
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: They're 18th of 18 teams in offense in the Big Ten.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Yet they beat Oklahoma who also is now struggling, uh,
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: with their running game. Michigan's going to win this game
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: with their defense and Kyle Whittingham is very well versed
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: in how to do that. Having done it for years
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: at Utah. Um, I think Michigan wins because of the
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: big house, but, uh, I think it's going to be
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: a fun game and I think it's going to be
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: one that goes down to the, yeah, the last few minutes.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I almost took Iowa today and our factor fiction, they're
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: getting five and a half points. Um, as the road team.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: So kind of like.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: In a game that you think is going to be
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: decided by a field goal is probably a good pick.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. All right. Let's bump to Texas
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: versus Tennessee in the battle of shades of orange here.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: It'll be played in Knoxville. So Rocky top's going to
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: have that edge. And yet Texas does feel like the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: better football team. So how does that balance out?
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: You know, that one, we're going to find out all
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: about Tennessee. They've got a young quarterback by the name
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: of Faison Brandon that I think Josh Heupel is going
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: to try to protect, meaning that not put a lot
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: on his plate. So this is going to be about
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Texas running the football. Excuse me, stopping the run. And
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: if they can do it, then Texas will have their way.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: But to me, Tennessee's dangerous. And Josh Heupel, who comes
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: from the old spread them out offense and then just
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: count numbers, right? This is kind of from Art Bryles.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: The wider you get your receivers, the more those linebackers
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: have to accordion out.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: And if they accordion too far, now you run inside.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: If they don't accordion out, you throw the ball out
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: there quick and you take advantage of some skilled wide
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: receivers and make it simple for the quarterback. It's going
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: to be an interesting cat-and-mouse game. Game day is there.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a scene. You know what?
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: I think Tennessee is going to give.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Them a whale of a game.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: I don't say when, but I think we're going to
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: get to the fourth quarter in this one.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Bring new Eisel with us every Tuesday at 9 if
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you want to hear the entire conversation. We do go
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: through a lot of games. You can do so at 933kjr. com.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: You can check out our podcast. But now it's time
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to play Factor Fiction. We're set to go. Glad you're
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: with us.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: grand prize.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: It's Fact or Fiction.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: KJR FM. After hearing a previously recorded interview... Did anybody
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: figure out what I'm going to take today? Anders, have
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you figured out what I'm going to take today? Was
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: there any evidence? Was there any foreshadowing that the show provided?
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Well, there was two games that were talked about. Rick's pick,
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: and then you mentioned Iowa that you almost picked. So
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I wonder which one of those two that you're going
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: with here.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: We're going with the Hawkeyes. All right. I wanted to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: go with it earlier this week. Here's my pick. It's
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: still on the board. So, yeah, I think Iowa on
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the road has a chance to win this game. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: don't think Michigan is firing right now. I think that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they can't run the football. And I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: know it's not Jordan Marshall. He ran wild a year ago,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and he's got a year of experience under his belt.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: There's something wrong with that Michigan offensive line. And if
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Western Michigan exposed it, what is Iowa going to do
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: against it? Iowa always plays great defense. They never play
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: good offense. This is going to be a very low-scoring
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: affair in Ann Arbor. And yes, the big house is
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: worth some points. I recognize that. But if you're going
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to give Iowa five and a half, I think they've
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: got a chance to win it outright. I certainly think
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: it's going to be low scoring, and that's an awfully
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: big number for a 3-0 Iowa football team that's done
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: nothing but win so far this season. So I will
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: take the Hawkeyes plus five and a half.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: I like it a lot. I don't know anything about
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Midwest rivalries. You'll have to educate me on that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. But an Indiana guy taking an Iowa...
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Who's an Indiana guy? Sorry, Illinois.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: My fault.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: My fault.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My fault. But Illinois taking in Iowa,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: all those I's in the middle of the country. Oh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Iowa's good people. Got a lot of friends from Iowa.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So it's like a little alliance then you got. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Indiana doesn't even border Iowa. Illinois does.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I just misspoke. I meant Illinois. My fault.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: So if you agree with my pick, and maybe you don't,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: it's fine. It's fine if you don't. I don't take
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it personally. Go ahead and text FACT to 49451. If
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: you disagree with the selection, text FICTION to 49451. If
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you're right, we enter your name into a $ 1, 000 weekly
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: cash prize drawing that we conduct at the end of
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the week. Well, guess what? It's Friday. It's Football Friday.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: It's the end of the week. So you are running
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: out of opportunities to get into that drawing or to
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: bolster your chances of winning that drawing. So make sure
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you're playing all four times today. And that means play now.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Iowa plus 5.5 is my selection over against Michigan. So
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: that means Michigan has to beat them by six points
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: or more in order for me to be wrong. If
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: you agree with that, text FACT to 49451. If you disagree,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: text FICTION to 49451. If you're right. the most times
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: this football season playing fact or fiction you're gonna win
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollar jackpot from lucky eagle casino and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: hotel where every day feels lucky lucky eagle casino and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: hotel Iowa plus five and a half. That's what I'm taking.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Fact 49451 if you agree. Fiction at 49451 if you disagree.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Your next chance to play comes this morning at 1135

• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: That'll be such like an adrenaline rush. You'll probably throw
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: up on your shoes. It has been known to have
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: that effect on some people.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I did that once. I went skydiving. I didn't know
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: you weren't. I thought, don't eat. You might throw it up.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Like that's the worst thing to do.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Because you can't have adrenaline on an empty stomach.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So I threw up.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Nice. You know.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: In midair. What did you throw up there? There was
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: nothing in your stomach. Oh, yeah, there's always something in
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: your stomach. There's never not anything in your stomach. Did you, like,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: aim it upward? I'm trying to imagine. It was up
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and to the right.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Up and to the right.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Got it. Yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: And I have no idea. Like, you know, that's the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: thing about that. You don't know what's underneath you. Could
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you imagine? Oh, rain. We're getting rain today. Some old
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: man down under. Oh, I didn't know we were getting
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: rain today.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: So take it from me. You can trust me because
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I've done this before. It's going to be a rush
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: at eight o'clock with our eight top stories of the day.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: And you're going to want something on your stomach. Sounds good.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Waffle.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: A donut.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Something. Something. Some granola. Just be ready. Just don't think
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you can go in there on an empty stomach because
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it'll flop. All right. Has the National Football League returned
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to the no fun league again? I mean, this one
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: takes the cake. And I was truly stunned by the
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: story itself. And I am even more stunned that it
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: hasn't yet been reversed. And if you don't know what
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about, actually, there's no way you could because
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I haven't said any details. Kyle Juszczyk was one of
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: a few players that got fined for offensive celebration. And one,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: he's been doing the celebration for years and he does
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: like he tips back and it looks like it does
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: look you do think he's drinking a beer, which you're
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: selling beer by the truckload at football games. What is
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: wrong with a grown ass adult man chugging a beer?
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Every other commercial. Every other commercial. Everybody standing in line
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: has one in their hand or in their seat has
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: one in their hand. Why are you offended by a
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: beer chug on national television? So that's wrong to begin with.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Then we find out Juszczyk says, no, my nickname is Juice.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I'm drinking juice. Like, I have been doing this. I
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: just don't score. He's like, I just don't score a lot.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this touchdown celebration for five years. I
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: just don't score a lot. And then all of a sudden,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL has decided to fine me $ 15, 000. He goes,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I don't even drink beer. Like, the only time I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: ever drink is when Kittle forces me into it during
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: off-season parties. Yeah, that's true. Of course, George Kittle would
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And so he's like, I don't understand what is happening.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: And so they fined him $ 15, 000 for drinking beer, acting
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: like he was drinking beer, even though it's a— huge
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: advertiser right in professional sports uh and then he wasn't
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: even drinking beer he's just chugging juice that's what he's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: trying to do because that's his nickname and he's been
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: doing it for years and for whatever reason whoever's in
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: charge is fine tooth combing nfl sellies again and making
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a mockery of the league this is embarrassing.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: I thought we had kind of crossed the plateau of
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: all right we'll be a little more lenient on the
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: celebrations it's a fun part of everything i feel like
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: a couple years ago they kind of came to that
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: realization that everyone loves them uh as long as it's
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: not like vulgar or anything like that right which it's
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: not not even close There was another one, Ian Peel.
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: Michael Bennett, the thrust thrust, you know, only four thrusts,
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: not five.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: As soon as you get that fifth, that's a flag.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: There was another one, too, that Jamar Chase did the
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: people's elbow.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: And he got fined. They thought he was doing like
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a drug thing. It's like... Like he was injecting drugs into...
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Because he straightened out his elbow.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: They thought he was... So I don't know who they
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: put in charge of this.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Jeez.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Fire him or her. That's number one.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: And number two, fix these right now. Like immediately. The
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: fact that we have still not reversed those decisions... is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: an embarrassment to the league so roger wake up because
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you're whoever you put in charge of handing out fines
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: for offensive celebrations is failing at their job and.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: One of the things that i think has come from
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: allowing more celebrations in the last couple years like You
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: wanted to appeal your sport to different audiences. That's why
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: they're doing all of the global games and everything. The
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson gritty, how many kids do you see just
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: randomly grittying on Fortnite or just anything? Just because he's
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: the one who started that move after he scored touchdowns.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, the Cam Newton thing.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: Every kid did that yes exactly it was it it
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: was and it was fun like yeah it gets a
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: little cringy when you watch kids doing random moves but
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: it's it's fun that was what makes it fun for
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: them and it's appealing to them so the fact that
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: you're now just all of a sudden that's the weird
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: part is that you for the last couple years it
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: seemed like you've kind of embraced it a little bit
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: and now it's all of a sudden you're you're cracking
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: down on it i saw another one i forget who
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: it was scored a touchdown, and then jumped and hugged
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: the goalpost.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that was a rule. I mean, he blatantly violated
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: a rule. You're not supposed to use the goalposts anymore.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: So I don't know why, but that's actual rule, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: everybody knows it, but Stefan Diggs tries to get away
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: with everything. Stefan Diggs, that's right. But I just, I
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: don't know. I've always, I like more fun. But it's
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: not a rule to tip one back.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Awful. Awful. Fix it. Fix it today. Why are you
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: going to even go into the NFL weekend with this?
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a big deal. It's just so unnecessary.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: And I think embarrassing for the league to be cracking
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: down on players for their celebrations when they weren't offensive
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. All right, your eight
