- 0:09Speaker 2: Cold as the Rockies. On Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM. Hey,
- 0:24Speaker 2: great morning to you. Welcome back to the radio show.
- 0:27Speaker 2: It is Chuck in the Morning Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Hope you had a wonderful weekend out there. My name
- 0:33Speaker 2: is Chuck Pauk. Anders Hurst is here. So is Christopher
- 0:36Speaker 2: Kidd as we get things cranked up on a Monday morning.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning. How was your weekend?
- 0:43Speaker 3: Excellent.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Doing well? Was it excellent?
- 0:44Speaker 3: Yeah, we're redoing our kitchen. Lots of stuff going on there.
- 0:47Speaker 2: That doesn't sound excellent.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited for how it's going to look, though.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Not the price.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Not the price.
- 0:52Speaker 3: But I'm excited how it's going to look. I'm dying
- 0:54Speaker 3: to look at things positively.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Why can't stuff you like just be for free?
- 1:00Speaker 3: That's a good question, Chuck.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be better?
- 1:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish that was the case.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Wouldn't we just have more time?
- 1:05Speaker 3: Of course.
- 1:06Speaker 2: For each other? Yes. More love to share?
- 1:08Speaker 3: Of course.
- 1:09Speaker 2: You could just have the stuff you want.
- 1:10Speaker 4: It should be subsidized by everything.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why can't that happen in our lives? Kid,
- 1:18Speaker 2: how was your weekend? Did you kill it? Did you
- 1:20Speaker 2: slay it?
- 1:21Speaker 3: Weekend was good.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Good.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Got some runs in. So, yeah, it was basketball-wise, not
- 1:26Speaker 3: actually 5K stuff.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I knew that would get a few folks.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:31Speaker 5: Playing basketball, got some calories burned.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Felt good. Did you wear your goggles?
- 1:35Speaker 2: I did.
- 1:35Speaker 5: Got knocked upside the head, and I still feel it,
- 1:37Speaker 5: so that's not great, but, you.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Know, I should be okay. Oh, did the goggles work?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Did you get poked in the eye, potentially? But you're like,
- 1:44Speaker 2: not today.
- 1:45Speaker 5: You know, I'm hopeful that it's something minute, but, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 5: getting hit in the temple.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Oh, with the little, yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Oh, so wait a minute. The goggles contributed maybe to
- 1:57Speaker 2: your pain. Took a swipe.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Oh. Do you think he targeted you because you were
- 2:02Speaker 3: wearing goggles?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Maybe. People do that.
- 2:04Speaker 3: That's kind of what I'm thinking.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:05Speaker 2: They totally rambused you.
- 2:07Speaker 3: It's like, you know, I should have went tougher to
- 2:09Speaker 3: the hole.
- 2:11Speaker 2: No, Ren, I don't think that. I think that maybe
- 2:14Speaker 2: you do get targeted. I think maybe there is a
- 2:16Speaker 2: bias against people that have goggles on.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Or a sword, you know, either or.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Maybe.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Maybe the combination. Size, gogglage, you know, combined to have
- 2:28Speaker 2: somebody with... And they are the villain in all of this.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Of course.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that we're clearing that up. Yeah.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But there are a lot of villains out there. And
- 2:37Speaker 2: it could have made somebody who already is... Let's face it, psychopathic.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Think to themselves, oh, here comes Goggle Boy. I'm going
- 2:46Speaker 2: to send him into Tuesday.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Yeah, like our Sunday league basketball game.
- 2:51Speaker 3: On Saturday, it did feel like Sunday. I'm not going
- 2:54Speaker 3: to lie. I was like, God dang, man. Still sensitive.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Did you get a concussion? No.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Am I sensitive to light? Yeah.
- 3:02Speaker 1: All right.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But I do know it's tender, and I feel like
- 3:05Speaker 3: I have a bump there.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Yeah, you just got a bruise. You're going to be
- 3:08Speaker 2: all right.
- 3:08Speaker 3: I'll be fine.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I never told you the last time I played basketball,
- 3:12Speaker 2: pick-up basketball, I was in a rec league, and I'm
- 3:14Speaker 2: telling you, like, they call it rec because it's short
- 3:18Speaker 2: for reckless. Yeah, that's true. Because the people that play
- 3:20Speaker 2: in rec leagues don't know how to play basketball. And,
- 3:24Speaker 2: you know, I played plenty of it. And so I
- 3:29Speaker 2: just kept, like– wanting to get in fights with people,
- 3:32Speaker 2: which I never did in my entire time when I
- 3:36Speaker 2: actually played organized basketball.
- 3:38Speaker 3: But all of a sudden... Because people don't play it right.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I'm practically getting in a fight almost every single time
- 3:45Speaker 2: that we play. And I know it's not me because
- 3:48Speaker 2: I don't have a penchant for that.
- 3:49Speaker 1: No.
- 3:50Speaker 2: It was just people not knowing how to play the game.
- 3:52Speaker 2: And this is a true story. So I get ready...
- 3:57Speaker 2: For whatever reason, I'm jumping center because I guess it
- 3:59Speaker 2: doesn't matter in a rec league. So they're going to
- 4:02Speaker 2: throw the ball up. The guy jumps way too soon
- 4:06Speaker 2: because he'd never played apparently before. And he, by the way,
- 4:11Speaker 2: had goggles. He was a goggle guy. He was a
- 4:13Speaker 2: goggle guy. Contributing to the stereotype. He was a goggle guy.
- 4:18Speaker 2: And a spaz, though. Spaz goggle guy. Spaz goggle. Um,
- 4:24Speaker 2: and so he jumps early and I'm like, what are
- 4:26Speaker 2: you doing? You fool. And then I jump up and
- 4:29Speaker 2: then I easily tip it to, you know, my teammate,
- 4:33Speaker 2: but goggle spaz. Then when he hits the ground, he's
- 4:37Speaker 2: so off balance, he falls underneath me. And so when
- 4:41Speaker 2: I come down, I land on the side of his leg,
- 4:46Speaker 2: turn my ankle. And I, this is the truth. And
- 4:49Speaker 2: this isn't great. It's not a great being a great teammate.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Because I don't even know if we had a bench player.
- 4:54Speaker 2: I limped off the court. I grabbed my stuff and
- 4:57Speaker 2: I went home. And that was the last time I
- 4:59Speaker 2: played organized basketball.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Playing flag football, I've experienced people going home.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Oh, that was the last time I played flag football.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Somebody hit me while I was up in the midair. P.I.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Total P.I. Gene Steratore will tell you. Total P.I. And
- 5:15Speaker 2: drove me shoulder first into the ground because he tripped.
- 5:18Speaker 2: He didn't do it intentionally, but he tripped and drove me,
- 5:22Speaker 2: and that's when I separated my shoulder. And then I'm like,
- 5:24Speaker 2: I'm not playing this.
- 5:25Speaker 5: He's too old. We have a guy that plays defense
- 5:28Speaker 5: as if he's Spider-Man. And what I mean by that,
- 5:30Speaker 5: he has no awareness of his body. He's doing all
- 5:33Speaker 5: type of dives to pull flags, and he's just aggressive
- 5:36Speaker 5: as a safety.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Spider-Man.
- 5:37Speaker 5: And one of our young homies, who's about, I think
- 5:40Speaker 5: he just turned 29, 30, but he went over the middle.
- 5:44Speaker 2: And he got obliterated.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Like, my friend was going for the football to make
- 5:47Speaker 5: a play on defense, but he obliterated him. And he
- 5:49Speaker 5: had already been hit earlier.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 3: So, he gets up, he walks off the field, takes
- 5:55Speaker 3: his shoes off, and he just leaves.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Yeah. Very Chuck Powell of him. That's what I did.
- 6:00Speaker 3: And I was laughing.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And it wasn't because I can't handle that. Right.
- 6:03Speaker 3: It's just like, I'm not doing this.
- 6:04Speaker 2: But it's just, I had reached an age where it's like,
- 6:07Speaker 2: I'm not doing this with these spazzes that don't know
- 6:10Speaker 2: how to play. Yeah. I'm just not going to do it.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Yep.
- 6:13Speaker 2: So, Spider-Man.
- 6:15Speaker 3: That's a good description, actually.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Spider-Man is great stuff. Spider-Man ruined the guy. Spider-Man's not
- 6:20Speaker 2: the guy that walked off. Spider-Man's the guy that ruined
- 6:23Speaker 2: the guy. Because he is.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Flying all over the place.
- 6:25Speaker 2: The guy that was clumsy.
- 6:27Speaker 5: He has a skill to it, but when I tell
- 6:28Speaker 5: you he's just flying everywhere. Maybe Troy Polo Malo without
- 6:33Speaker 5: pads is a better example.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Because that's how he plays.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Ouch. It would have been great if I found out
- 6:39Speaker 2: you called him Spider-Man because he's dating Zendaya. That would
- 6:43Speaker 2: have been great.
- 6:43Speaker 3: That would have been really great.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Zendaya.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Zendaya.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Zendaya.
- 6:46Speaker 3: We know what you meant.
- 6:47Speaker 5: All right.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Great to have you with us here this morning. I'm
- 6:49Speaker 2: glad we solved all of those issues. As we get
- 6:52Speaker 2: things going here on a Monday, of course, we would
- 6:55Speaker 2: have already been into a Seahawks game breakdown had they
- 6:59Speaker 2: not played. all the way back on Thursday.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Thank God we're not doing that.
- 7:02Speaker 2: We've already done that. We did that on Friday's show.
- 7:06Speaker 2: So today, a little looser, gives us a chance to
- 7:09Speaker 2: respond to a lot of things. It was a crazy weekend,
- 7:12Speaker 2: but also gets us a jump on the week. I mean,
- 7:17Speaker 2: we might as well face it. We're going to have
- 7:19Speaker 2: this conversation a lot. We might as well be the
- 7:22Speaker 2: first to have it. It's certainly the first thing that's
- 7:24Speaker 2: on my mind as we start Chiefs week for the Seahawks,
- 7:29Speaker 2: who are a 3-3 football team and could really use
- 7:32Speaker 2: a win this upcoming week as they sit a half
- 7:35Speaker 2: game out of the playoffs right now. And we're going
- 7:39Speaker 2: to talk a lot this week about Ken Walker. All
- 7:42Speaker 2: of our experts are going to weigh in on it.
- 7:44Speaker 2: All the shows are going to weigh in on it.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I'm sitting here like, well, normally we don't even start
- 7:50Speaker 2: until a Wednesday to preview the next opponent because we're
- 7:52Speaker 2: still recapping the previous game. But since we've already done
- 7:56Speaker 2: that on Friday, I'm like, why am I going to
- 7:58Speaker 2: beat around the bush? this is probably going to be
- 8:01Speaker 2: the topic of the week. Well, it is going to
- 8:03Speaker 2: be the topic of the week. Ken Walker returning this
- 8:07Speaker 2: Sunday to take on the Seahawks as an opponent. And
- 8:11Speaker 2: since he's left, he has become the greatest running back
- 8:16Speaker 2: in the game. That's the way that he's played so
- 8:18Speaker 2: far this year anyway. And certainly is somebody that a
- 8:24Speaker 2: lot of us thought was capable of this. I remember...
- 8:29Speaker 2: second year in the league. And I took him, I
- 8:33Speaker 2: think in the second round of our fantasy football league
- 8:35Speaker 2: and declared for everyone to know 800 yards. That's what
- 8:38Speaker 2: he's going to get this year. 800 yards, 1800 yards,
- 8:41Speaker 2: excuse me, 1800 yards season. Well, he never came close
- 8:46Speaker 2: to reaching that as a Seahawk in his four years,
- 8:49Speaker 2: but he looks like he's going to shatter it for
- 8:52Speaker 2: the Kansas city chiefs this season. Right now, Ken Walker
- 8:56Speaker 2: is on pace. For 2,261 yards rushing this year.
- 9:02Speaker 3: That'd be a pretty good season.
- 9:06Speaker 2: So he's leading the league in rushing and has played
- 9:09Speaker 2: one fewer game than the B. John Robinsons.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Jameer Gibbs.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Well, Jameer Gibbs has played five. But the other guys
- 9:18Speaker 2: on the top five of the list, running backs two, three, four,
- 9:24Speaker 2: and five. They've already played six. He's only played five,
- 9:27Speaker 2: and yet he leads the league in rushing. He's on
- 9:29Speaker 2: pace for 850 more yards rushing than the second place
- 9:35Speaker 2: pace in the National Football League. He's on pace for
- 9:40Speaker 2: 20 rushing touchdowns, 27 overall touchdowns this season. He's averaging
- 9:46Speaker 2: 6.3 yards per carry. His previous high with us was 4.6,
- 9:50Speaker 2: and he's on a team that is 5-0 so far
- 9:52Speaker 2: this year. So Ken Walker is having the best season
- 9:57Speaker 2: of any running back in the National Football League. and
- 10:00Speaker 2: he could have been a seahawk i suppose i don't
- 10:03Speaker 2: know how much damage really was done uh to the
- 10:06Speaker 2: relationship but we think back to red solo cup speech
- 10:10Speaker 2: uh when john schneider was schnockered and made his ken
- 10:13Speaker 2: walker joke and Ken didn't exactly laugh about it.
- 10:16Speaker 3: He did not.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Yeah. And so I don't know if the damage had
- 10:20Speaker 2: already been done in the relationship. I don't know if
- 10:23Speaker 2: Ken Walker was sitting there for four years thinking, why
- 10:26Speaker 2: don't you use me more? But obviously he had some
- 10:30Speaker 2: injuries here as well. That's the other thing about him.
- 10:33Speaker 2: His previous high in carries was 228 with the Seahawks.
- 10:37Speaker 2: He's on pace for 360 this year. So either John
- 10:41Speaker 2: and Mike were right, and that will catch up to him,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and he will be exposed as someone that you just
- 10:49Speaker 2: can't invest $ 16, $ 17 million in per year with the
- 10:55Speaker 2: decisions that we had to make. Or He's going to
- 10:59Speaker 2: keep up this pace or he doesn't have to keep
- 11:02Speaker 2: up the pace or what we're seeing is real. He
- 11:05Speaker 2: was just waiting for the opportunity to be in every
- 11:07Speaker 2: down back and to be somebody that could carry the
- 11:10Speaker 2: workload Anders. And now he's getting everything that he thought
- 11:15Speaker 2: he should get in Kansas city. And he is flourishing. Yeah.
- 11:18Speaker 4: And like, if you listen to our airwaves, um, I
- 11:22Speaker 4: know this was back when I was on Ian's show,
- 11:24Speaker 4: but there were plenty of times where we're like, man,
- 11:26Speaker 4: I don't know what this infatuation of Zach Charbonnet is.
- 11:30Speaker 4: There is a massive difference between Ken Walker running the
- 11:33Speaker 4: ball and Zach Charbonnet running the ball. And I know
- 11:35Speaker 4: Hugh Millen has that opinion. I know Ian has that opinion.
- 11:38Speaker 4: I have that opinion. I can't speak for you. It
- 11:41Speaker 4: was like, why are we limiting this guy as much
- 11:43Speaker 4: as we are? But that's just the way the Seahawks
- 11:46Speaker 4: did things. And, you know, maybe they did see something, but...
- 11:50Speaker 4: It's hard to draw any other conclusion than he's kind
- 11:53Speaker 4: of the missing piece that the Chiefs were missing. And
- 11:55Speaker 4: right now he's the missing piece that the Seahawks are
- 11:57Speaker 4: now missing as well. So it's tough to come to
- 12:00Speaker 4: any other conclusion besides that one this early in the season.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Well, nationally, I just heard it this morning on the
- 12:05Speaker 2: drive in from Mike Tannenbaum, former, you know, he's a
- 12:08Speaker 2: former general manager in the league. And it's looking like
- 12:10Speaker 2: the worst decision of the offseason in the National Football League.
- 12:15Speaker 2: There's really no getting around this conversation. this week. That's
- 12:19Speaker 2: how good he's been at the Kansas City, and then
- 12:22Speaker 2: that's how bad the running game has been so far
- 12:25Speaker 2: for the 3-3 Seahawks versus the 5-0 Chiefs this Sunday,
- 12:29Speaker 2: and their new best player, Ken Walker, running the football
- 12:33Speaker 2: for them. And so, yes, it is unavoidable, and it
- 12:39Speaker 2: begins right off the bat this morning as we get
- 12:42Speaker 2: ready for Ken Walker Week. Now, I do want, though,
- 12:45Speaker 2: to spend some time this week and And right now,
- 12:49Speaker 2: discussing where we really were with the conversation at the
- 12:55Speaker 2: time that the decision was made. Because you and I
- 12:58Speaker 2: have had this discussion before. I've had this discussion with
- 13:00Speaker 2: other people before. Certainly people have heard me talk about
- 13:03Speaker 2: it on this show. With Jerry DePoto, I have a
- 13:07Speaker 2: real hard time as a person who does this for
- 13:10Speaker 2: a living saying, hey, that was a good offseason. I
- 13:16Speaker 2: liked those moves. And then they don't work out. And
- 13:21Speaker 2: then I'm going to sit here, the same microphone, the
- 13:24Speaker 2: same human being, and say, Jerry DePoto's an idiot. Justin
- 13:28Speaker 2: Hollander's stupid. They don't know what they're doing.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Very hindsight, yes.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just not going to behave that way. Certainly
- 13:33Speaker 2: when you make off-season decisions, there are some that work
- 13:39Speaker 2: out and there's some that don't work out. The decision-making process, though,
- 13:44Speaker 2: to me, I hold more valuable. The previous year when
- 13:49Speaker 2: it was Donovan Solano and nobody else. Oh, I trashed them. F-minus,
- 13:55Speaker 2: I think, is what I gave.
- 13:56Speaker 3: For the offseason.
- 13:57Speaker 2: For the offseason to the Mariners that year. Like, that
- 14:00Speaker 2: is embarrassing.
- 14:01Speaker 3: And that's the year we went to the ALCS.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, how about that? But that offseason was, to me, unforgivable. Right.
- 14:08Speaker 2: And then part of that was ownership. Part of that
- 14:11Speaker 2: was Jerry and Justin. No question. But I do sort
- 14:17Speaker 2: of believe that, hey, if I didn't have some massive
- 14:21Speaker 2: problem with it at the time, then I can't, six
- 14:25Speaker 2: months later, have a massive problem with the decision-making process.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Even if some moves work out and some don't in
- 14:34Speaker 2: the offseason, I still want to value the move on
- 14:38Speaker 2: what your decision-making process was. All right? That said... This
- 14:43Speaker 2: Ken Walker thing is a lot different. It's a lot
- 14:45Speaker 2: trickier because I loved Ken Walker. I thought Ken Walker
- 14:51Speaker 2: was going to be special. I thought what we were seeing,
- 14:54Speaker 2: maybe not 2,200 yards rushing, but what we're seeing now
- 14:59Speaker 2: is what I always felt he was capable of here.
- 15:03Speaker 2: But I will say this, by the time we got
- 15:05Speaker 2: to that decision, As an organization, sure, he's coming off
- 15:10Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP, but he also came off of a year,
- 15:14Speaker 2: to your point, Anders, where he had 220 carries and
- 15:18Speaker 2: Zach Charbonnet had 184. He also was coming off a
- 15:23Speaker 2: year in which Mike McDonald, who we all should, you know,
- 15:27Speaker 2: hold at a very, I mean, he was the Lion
- 15:32Speaker 2: King that came here to save the jungle. Yeah. And
- 15:37Speaker 2: has already won a world championship here in Seattle. But
- 15:41Speaker 2: he was someone. It wasn't just John Schneider. John Schneider
- 15:44Speaker 2: clearly said, he's got a foot thing. We've got to
- 15:47Speaker 2: pace him. We don't know if he can stay healthy.
- 15:50Speaker 2: We can't give him too much usage. And it was
- 15:53Speaker 2: Mike McDonald who was, get him out of there. I
- 15:56Speaker 2: need somebody that can run the football and run where
- 15:58Speaker 2: the play is designed. And there was a lot of that.
- 16:01Speaker 2: There was a lot of times where I wrote down
- 16:04Speaker 2: in my notes, particularly last year, Mike, Are you just
- 16:07Speaker 2: immune to running where the play is supposed to go?
- 16:12Speaker 2: And then we got to the playoffs. And Charbonnet was
- 16:15Speaker 2: out of the way. And it was all Walker. And
- 16:19Speaker 2: all of a sudden, this Le'Veon Bell with speed and
- 16:24Speaker 2: quickness running back showed up for the playoffs. And he
- 16:28Speaker 2: was the best player on the football team from the
- 16:31Speaker 2: beginning of the playoffs through the Super Bowl.
- 16:33Speaker 3: 100%.
- 16:34Speaker 2: And you're sitting there like, OK, well, is that real
- 16:36Speaker 2: or not? Did you just did something just trigger in
- 16:39Speaker 2: your head? Did you just figure out how to run
- 16:42Speaker 2: the football midseason once Charbonnet went down? Or was this
- 16:47Speaker 2: always there? And Charbonnet was just getting in the way
- 16:52Speaker 2: of you being elite. And John Schneider's fearing your foot.
- 16:57Speaker 2: was going to flare up on you at the wrong time.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Was that getting in the way of you being elite?
- 17:01Speaker 2: Was Mike McDonald getting in the way of you being
- 17:03Speaker 2: elite by taking you out? They always told me running
- 17:07Speaker 2: backs have to get in a rhythm. So this is
- 17:09Speaker 2: what went into the decision. So when they did make
- 17:12Speaker 2: the decision, Walker's going to walk. I wasn't surprised by it.
- 17:18Speaker 2: I was certainly disappointed. I wasn't surprised by it because
- 17:23Speaker 2: I thought all the signs were there that that was
- 17:25Speaker 2: going to happen. And then a couple weeks later, you
- 17:30Speaker 2: give Shahid $ 17 million. And that was the real curious thing.
- 17:36Speaker 2: We understand on a Super Bowl roster, you can't keep everybody.
- 17:39Speaker 2: You're going to have to pay Spoon. You're going to
- 17:41Speaker 2: have to pay JSN. You're going to have to pay
- 17:42Speaker 2: Byron Murphy eventually. And you're probably going to have to
- 17:44Speaker 2: pay Sam Darnold, which now is in question. You've got
- 17:47Speaker 2: to pay him eventually. So you can't keep everyone. But
- 17:51Speaker 2: if it came down to Walker versus Shahid, really? Really?
- 17:55Speaker 2: You were willing to go 17 on Shee. If you'd
- 17:57Speaker 2: gone 17 on Walker, even with the hurt feelings, I
- 18:01Speaker 2: have a feeling he'd still be a Seahawk.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I think so, too.
- 18:05Speaker 4: It's not like you could get him for the same price,
- 18:06Speaker 4: and that's the good point you bring up now. It's
- 18:09Speaker 4: not like you could have gotten him for the same
- 18:11Speaker 4: price as the Chiefs, because I think the... The relationship, definitely,
- 18:14Speaker 4: there was something going on there. But to say that
- 18:16Speaker 4: you'd rather have Ken Walker instead of Rashid Shaheed right now, which,
- 18:20Speaker 4: by the way, the whole, as we talk about the
- 18:22Speaker 4: decision-making process, okay, then you draft a new running back
- 18:26Speaker 4: to kind of fill his shoes. I think it's a
- 18:28Speaker 4: lot easier to fill the shoes of a wide receiver, too,
- 18:31Speaker 4: than it is a running back one in the NFL draft.
- 18:35Speaker 4: at least in terms of who you're going to find
- 18:38Speaker 4: to step up into that role. Not to mention, you
- 18:40Speaker 4: already have the kind of emergence of Torrey Horton to
- 18:42Speaker 4: fill kind of punt and kick returning duties, so you
- 18:45Speaker 4: could get by.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Well, you could have drafted a wide receiver at the
- 18:48Speaker 2: end of the first round instead of Jadarian Price if
- 18:51Speaker 2: you still had Walker.
- 18:52Speaker 3: That's my point, yeah.
- 18:52Speaker 4: So it's a lot easier to fill that in the draft,
- 18:55Speaker 4: I think, than trying to replace the guy for a
- 18:58Speaker 4: team that wants to run the football, by the way.
- 19:00Speaker 4: It's not like we're... air rating it out there and
- 19:03Speaker 4: we just need a running back to kind of catch
- 19:05Speaker 4: it out of the backfield every once in a while. No,
- 19:07Speaker 4: we rely on running the football play action is kind
- 19:10Speaker 4: of how Sam Darnold thrives under center. You need a
- 19:13Speaker 4: running game for that to happen. So the fact that
- 19:16Speaker 4: they haven't really been able to fill that hole. Now, again,
- 19:19Speaker 4: I don't think Price, we can't draw the conclusion that
- 19:22Speaker 4: he's a miss right at this point right so let's
- 19:26Speaker 4: you know wait and see on that one he's on
- 19:28Speaker 4: the ir obviously the.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Running back room is going to look a lot different
- 19:31Speaker 2: in three weeks price and charbonnet really changes having them
- 19:35Speaker 2: those are your top two running backs and we haven't
- 19:37Speaker 2: had access to both of them and at most of
- 19:40Speaker 2: the season haven't had access to either of them yeah
- 19:43Speaker 2: and it's gonna look a lot different i mean it's
- 19:45Speaker 2: not like the seahawks running back game has been buried
- 19:49Speaker 2: but in a week where one of those guys certainly
- 19:52Speaker 2: isn't going to be available. We don't know about Charbonnet.
- 19:55Speaker 2: You're not running the football. We've been treated to Emmanuel Wilson,
- 20:01Speaker 2: treated Vellis Jones and George Halani to this point. And
- 20:06Speaker 2: Ken Walker looks like I mean, Luke Skywalker. I mean,
- 20:10Speaker 2: he's got the force.
- 20:13Speaker 3: Talk about a good walker.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Yeah. So he is now looking like everything we thought
- 20:19Speaker 2: he could have been as a Seahawk and more. And
- 20:23Speaker 2: so here it is. Here comes the week to really
- 20:26Speaker 2: evaluate this. And we'll spend a lot of time on
- 20:29Speaker 2: it this week. I'm not done with it even today.
- 20:31Speaker 2: But let's find out what is on tap for today's show.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I have your attention, please.

- 20:50Speaker 2: NFL Week 6 nearly in the books. One more game tonight.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Washington at San Francisco. Kickoff 5-15 right here on Sports
- 20:57Speaker 2: Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Steve Weiss from the NFL Network
- 21:01Speaker 2: will join us today. We'll ask him about the Ken
- 21:04Speaker 2: Walker situation and many other things that happened in the
- 21:07Speaker 2: National Football League this week. Wins and tough ones coming
- 21:11Speaker 2: your way at 6.30 at NFL scoreboards. 3-3 Seahawks are
- 21:15Speaker 2: a half game out of the playoffs if the season
- 21:17Speaker 2: were to end today, which of course it doesn't. There
- 21:19Speaker 2: won't be a half game discrepancy. Greg Bell will join
- 21:22Speaker 2: us at 7.05 today. We missed him on Friday, so
- 21:25Speaker 2: a lot to discuss with Greg. The team hosts the
- 21:28Speaker 2: undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and Ken Walker this Sunday night.
- 21:31Speaker 2: College football, the Huskies, a big win for them. They
- 21:34Speaker 2: needed it over Purdue on Friday night and looked good
- 21:37Speaker 2: in doing it 38-26. And so now that Elijah Brown's
- 21:41Speaker 2: getting the job done, it is really making DeMond Williams proud.
- 21:45Speaker 2: look terrible. We'll discuss that later in the show. College
- 21:48Speaker 2: football week number seven. It was upset Saturday. My goodness,
- 21:52Speaker 2: what a Saturday in college football. We'll play some fact
- 21:55Speaker 2: or fiction today at 735. The new college football poll.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Miami is number one. BYU is two. Then it's Ohio State,
- 22:02Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Georgia, and Indiana. The last four I mentioned
- 22:06Speaker 2: all have one loss on the young season. Hell, there's
- 22:08Speaker 2: a two-loss team ranked 13th in the country. We'll talk
- 22:12Speaker 2: about these items later in the show as well. The
- 22:15Speaker 2: Kraken return home after a successful road trip. They will
- 22:19Speaker 2: be in action tomorrow at Climate Pledge Arena against the
- 22:23Speaker 2: Detroit Red Wings. The Sounders played to a draw. On
- 22:26Speaker 2: Saturday against Montreal, the Tampa Bay Rays are one win
- 22:30Speaker 2: away from the World Series in a matchup with the
- 22:32Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers, which will be a fantastic World Series. Please
- 22:36Speaker 2: watch it. But they will, because of the rainout that
- 22:40Speaker 2: they had over the weekend, they will play game five tonight.
- 22:44Speaker 2: No day off in between yesterday's, excuse me, game six.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Yesterday's game five and tonight's game six against the Cleveland Guardians.
- 22:53Speaker 2: WNBA playoffs are off. 1-0 start for Golden State, and
- 22:57Speaker 2: the NBA season begins tomorrow. We will celebrate it with
- 23:01Speaker 2: our NBA preview at 9 o'clock today. That's right. Today
- 23:05Speaker 2: we draft. But coming up next on the program, it's
- 23:07Speaker 2: wins and tough ones. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Chuck
- 23:16Speaker 1: in the Morning. Brought to you by Frost Brewed Coors Light.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Cold as the Rockies. On Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM.
- 23:32Speaker 2: The Spanish flair.
- 23:33Speaker 3: I love it.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Time for an NFL scoreboard. Of course, we don't call
- 23:39Speaker 2: it NFL scoreboard.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Boring.
- 23:43Speaker 2: We challenge listeners. And the first person, fastest fingers, that
- 23:48Speaker 2: gives us something that is acceptable, we choose it. There's
- 23:53Speaker 2: no big meeting about it.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Nope.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Just every year, week number one, I ask for recommendations.
- 24:01Speaker 2: And the first one that the FCC would agree with,
- 24:04Speaker 2: is the one that is chosen. And so we present
- 24:07Speaker 2: to you Wins and Tough Ones, an NFL scoreboard.
- 24:11Speaker 3: I like this name.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. But at the moment we named it,
- 24:16Speaker 2: there was a lot of Dan Wilson anger.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Yeah, there was.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Let's be honest. Let's get to it. Houston and Jacksonville
- 24:22Speaker 2: played early morning yesterday. I got up and watched it all.
- 24:27Speaker 2: And I watched Chris Kidd come home with a fact
- 24:29Speaker 2: or fiction victory. Yes, sir.
- 24:32Speaker 3: I did not.
- 24:32Speaker 2: It was in very much question, though. 34-31, the final score.
- 24:36Speaker 2: So the Texans, after an 0-4 start, have now won
- 24:38Speaker 2: back-to-back games, and they're back in it. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars,
- 24:43Speaker 2: I think Liam Cohen has done a terrific job as
- 24:46Speaker 2: head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but these last two games,
- 24:49Speaker 2: because they've played an isolated game that I've got to
- 24:52Speaker 2: watch him coach, just some really boneheaded decisions that I
- 24:58Speaker 2: think cost himself the football game and nearly cost him
- 25:00Speaker 2: the game the week before. I don't have time to
- 25:02Speaker 2: get into it now, but I think we will make
- 25:05Speaker 2: time later in the show. Chicago Bears got Caleb Williams
- 25:08Speaker 2: back yesterday, and it mattered. He was 30 for 36
- 25:12Speaker 2: for 305 yards, and the Bears won 31-23 over Michael
- 25:16Speaker 2: Penix and the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons got off to
- 25:19Speaker 2: such a slow start offensively by the time they did
- 25:22Speaker 2: pick it up. It was too late. The Bears move
- 25:24Speaker 2: to 4-2 on the year. The Cleveland Browns are a
- 25:27Speaker 2: first-place team, believe it or not. Wow. They defeated the
- 25:30Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens yesterday 13-10. Of course, Lamar Jackson's out. I
- 25:35Speaker 2: don't know if a team changes more than what the
- 25:39Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens do when he doesn't play. I mean, I
- 25:42Speaker 2: know Huntley won last week, but he... I don't know
- 25:46Speaker 2: how you can have Lamar Jackson and his injury history
- 25:48Speaker 2: and not have a better backup.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.
- 25:51Speaker 4: And you talk about everything he does, not just passing
- 25:53Speaker 4: the ball, but a lot of their running game as well. So, yeah,
- 25:57Speaker 4: that's a big drop-off. Tennessee Titans are in the win column.
- 26:01Speaker 2: They defeated the Indianapolis Colts by a final score of
- 26:04Speaker 2: 26-20 in overtime yesterday. The Indianapolis Colts are now 2-4.
- 26:10Speaker 2: That wouldn't be so bad if they weren't thinking they
- 26:13Speaker 2: were going to win the division this year. Keep in mind,
- 26:16Speaker 2: they traded for Sauce Gardner a year ago as the
- 26:19Speaker 2: final piece. Right now, their first-round pick goes to the
- 26:23Speaker 2: New York Jets. Right now, the New York Jets, the
- 26:25Speaker 2: season ended today, would have three first-round picks in the
- 26:29Speaker 2: top 13.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Wow.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Because they have Dallas's, their own, and the Colts. And
- 26:35Speaker 2: believe it or not, their own is the lowest one
- 26:37Speaker 2: of the three.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Right.
- 26:38Speaker 3: It's not like they're having a terrible season so far. Wow,
- 26:41Speaker 3: that's crazy.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Patriots won over the Jets 26-19, so the Patriots seem
- 26:46Speaker 2: back after a rough start. A.J. Brown returned but did
- 26:50Speaker 2: not play well. He had three drops in the game.
- 26:53Speaker 2: but the Patriots still move to 4-2 on the year.
- 26:56Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints snapped a three-game losing streak yesterday with
- 27:00Speaker 2: a 34-27 win over the New York Giants. Strange, strange
- 27:04Speaker 2: first season for John Harbaugh. It's like he's trying to
- 27:07Speaker 2: establish the type of program we're going to be. He's
- 27:10Speaker 2: not going to worry about wins or losses. Yesterday, he
- 27:14Speaker 2: was sending a message apparently to Cam Scadaboo uh did
- 27:18Speaker 2: not give him a carry the entire game then gets
- 27:21Speaker 2: to the post-game press conferences asked about it and he
- 27:24Speaker 2: said he didn't bench him.
- 27:26Speaker 4: It wasn't designed he said which is extremely hard to
- 27:29Speaker 4: believe um for me yeah you you don't not give
- 27:33Speaker 4: your running back a touch not just a carry no
- 27:36Speaker 4: throw to him or anything not a single touch without
- 27:40Speaker 4: it being designed i don't know that's tough to believe.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Yeah I mean, I think whether or not you meant
- 27:46Speaker 2: to send a message, you sent a message.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Carolina won 25-14 over the Philadelphia Eagles, who just are
- 27:53Speaker 2: the most banged-up team you're ever going to see at
- 27:56Speaker 2: this stage in the season. Their quarterback did not play.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Their No. 1 running back didn't play. Their No. 2
- 28:02Speaker 2: running back didn't play. Their No. 3 running back didn't play.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Their top receiver played hurt. Yeah. Number one offensive lineman
- 28:11Speaker 2: didn't play. Their center didn't play. I mean, they are
- 28:14Speaker 2: just battered, and it shows. Carolina's now 3-2 on the
- 28:18Speaker 2: season with an 11-point win. The Pittsburgh Steelers scored 23
- 28:22Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter and overtime to defeat the
- 28:25Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-19. The Bucs fall to 1-5. They
- 28:29Speaker 2: blew a 13-point fourth quarter lead. Meanwhile, I don't know
- 28:33Speaker 2: where Pittsburgh summoned that offense from, but DK Metcalf, Aaron
- 28:37Speaker 2: Rodgers got it going in the fourth quarter. And Pittsburgh's 4-2.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Somehow Pittsburgh's 4-2. That entire division is over.
- 28:44Speaker 1: 500.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Yeah, it's weird because every time you watch a Steelers,
- 28:46Speaker 4: or at least every time I watch a Steelers game,
- 28:48Speaker 4: it looks like, man, this team is slow, they're old,
- 28:51Speaker 4: and they don't have any way of scoring points. And
- 28:54Speaker 4: somehow they end up winning almost every week.
- 28:56Speaker 2: There's something in the water. They have to at least
- 28:58Speaker 2: finish 9-8 every year. buffalo won 33 to 30 over
- 29:03Speaker 2: the las vegas raiders so clint kubiak who got off
- 29:05Speaker 2: to such a hot start is now kind of coming
- 29:08Speaker 2: back to reality with the roster that he has uh
- 29:11Speaker 2: they won their first three they've now lost their last
- 29:13Speaker 2: three meanwhile the bills are five and one not as
- 29:16Speaker 2: good as the kansas city chiefs find ken walkers 128
- 29:20Speaker 2: rushing yards and two touchdowns the chiefs They improved to
- 29:23Speaker 2: 5-0 on the season. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are lost.
- 29:29Speaker 2: They are 0-6, one of only two winless teams left,
- 29:33Speaker 2: them and the Miami Dolphins in the National Football League.
- 29:35Speaker 2: But Jeremiah Smith would look good on the Chargers next year.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
- 29:39Speaker 2: He'd look good in that uniform.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Pretty good. Justin Herbert might agree with you on that one.
- 29:43Speaker 2: The Arizona Cardinals shocked the Los Angeles Rams. Six field
- 29:50Speaker 2: goals from the Cardinals. They won 18-6 over the Los
- 29:54Speaker 2: Angeles Rams, who fall to 2-4. And before anybody says anything,
- 29:59Speaker 2: I know I did my homework. I did my research.
- 30:04Speaker 2: I went deep to make sure that this is presented factually. Because,
- 30:09Speaker 2: I mean, this could be a reckless, careless thing to
- 30:12Speaker 2: say if I didn't look into this.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Okay.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Anders, no 2-4 team has ever finished undefeated.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Really?
- 30:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:21Speaker 3: I might need to double-check that. No, no, I double-checked it.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Are you sure?
- 30:25Speaker 2: I triple-checked it. Yeah, I looked high and low. I
- 30:28Speaker 2: even asked Grok. I asked AI. I asked Siri. I
- 30:34Speaker 2: did it the old-fashioned way, but no. I went through
- 30:37Speaker 2: the entire NFL encyclopedia last night. I spent 45 hours
- 30:42Speaker 2: looking this up, and it's true. I know people thought
- 30:45Speaker 2: the Rams were going to go undefeated, but it's not
- 30:47Speaker 2: going to happen. Two and four teams have never finished undefeated.
- 30:50Speaker 3: So you're telling me the defending Super Bowl champions are
- 30:52Speaker 3: now two and four?
- 30:53Speaker 2: Oh, wait.
- 30:55Speaker 3: That's right. They didn't win the Super Bowl last year.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Finally, the Green Bay Packers. Man, do they look good
- 31:00Speaker 2: all of a sudden. Talk about just flipping a switch.
- 31:02Speaker 3: They looked horrible.
- 31:04Speaker 2: And their first two games, three games of the year,
- 31:06Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden they look like they've
- 31:08Speaker 2: got a star quarterback, they've got an elite defense, and
- 31:12Speaker 2: they're still getting two of their best players back starting
- 31:16Speaker 2: next week in Micah Parsons and Josh Jacobs. 23-13, the
- 31:20Speaker 2: Packers won over the Dallas Cowboys. Another fact or fiction
- 31:24Speaker 2: win for the team right there. Let's go.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Here we go. Bounce back week.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Monday Night Football will wrap up the week. It's the
- 31:30Speaker 2: Washington Commanders at San Francisco. Watch the 49ers lose this one.
- 31:34Speaker 3: I would love that.
- 31:35Speaker 2: That would be great.
- 31:36Speaker 4: The Commanders go 2-0 against the 49ers and Seahawks. That
- 31:39Speaker 4: would be fantastic. I don't think there's a chance. No,
- 31:41Speaker 4: I don't think there's a chance.
- 31:44Speaker 2: That'd be nice. Sure. That'd be nice. 515 kickoff. You
- 31:47Speaker 2: can hear it right here at Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
- 31:51Speaker 2: There you go. Your wins and tough ones for the week.
- 31:55Speaker 2: There was an equal amount of each, as it turns out.
- 31:58Speaker 2: And our NFL scoreboard is wrapped up here on a Monday.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Coming up next, college football's weekend was far more wild
- 32:06Speaker 2: than the National Football League's. We'll discuss it on KJR.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I kind of get this impression that Kid spent the
- 32:24Speaker 2: entire weekend mixing in his basement to come up with
- 32:27Speaker 2: some new music beds for us.
- 32:29Speaker 3: I think he did, actually.
- 32:30Speaker 2: This sounds like original stuff. It probably is.
- 32:33Speaker 3: I definitely had to go in my man cave and
- 32:35Speaker 3: find some tunes. I found some. Got a bunch more.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Excellent.
- 32:38Speaker 3: He actually did. Let's go. You mixed these? You produced these?
- 32:42Speaker 5: No, but I went through our iHeartMedia and found a
- 32:45Speaker 5: bunch of cool mixes.
- 32:46Speaker 3: You know what? This will work for some open segments.
- 32:48Speaker 2: I like that. Like Dr. Dre back there.
- 32:51Speaker 3: I'm a big fan because like, you know.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Dr.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Kid.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Dr. CK.
- 32:53Speaker 2: There we go.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 32:55Speaker 1: 49451. CK Dre. C.K.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Dre.
- 33:01Speaker 3: That's good. That was really good.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Great morning to you all. Happy Monday. Hope you enjoyed
- 33:07Speaker 2: the wonderful October weekend that we had. It was fantastic.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Got outside quite a bit yesterday. So we welcome you
- 33:16Speaker 2: into the show here on this Monday morning. Greg Bell's
- 33:19Speaker 2: going to join us at 7.05. We didn't get to
- 33:20Speaker 2: chat with him on Friday, so a lot of questions
- 33:23Speaker 2: for Greg. We also have your headlines coming up as well,
- 33:26Speaker 2: but not your typical Monday show, which is good. Good
- 33:29Speaker 2: to do a little bit of a change-up here today.
- 33:32Speaker 2: But we have to talk about that wild weekend in
- 33:34Speaker 2: college football. My goodness. I mean, not only did you
- 33:38Speaker 2: have just the number of upsets that turned the entire
- 33:43Speaker 2: ranking process on its head, but you had fantastic games.
- 33:49Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't even– I had to get outside.
- 33:52Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm going to watch a lot of football today.
- 33:54Speaker 2: I blew off Indiana and Ohio State, which also had
- 33:57Speaker 2: a crazy ending.
- 33:58Speaker 1: It did.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Because I knew that I was going to be sitting
- 34:01Speaker 2: there on my butt watching football for most of the day.
- 34:05Speaker 2: And I did. By the time I got home, got
- 34:08Speaker 2: a sandwich in me, I ended up next thing you
- 34:11Speaker 2: know watching football until 11 o'clock at night until I
- 34:13Speaker 2: fell asleep in Nebraska and Oregon. Late, late, late on
- 34:18Speaker 2: Saturday night. But it was fantastic. I mean, there were
- 34:22Speaker 2: upsets everywhere. And then, can't wait to talk to Gene
- 34:25Speaker 2: about it, just... atrocious officiating in some really big moments
- 34:32Speaker 2: and i say that telling you without hesitation i was
- 34:35Speaker 2: rooting for miami because that's my pick to win the
- 34:38Speaker 2: national championship yeah And I was rooting for BYU because
- 34:42Speaker 2: no one can stand Notre Dame of a right mind.
- 34:45Speaker 2: So I was rooting for those. And yet Florida State
- 34:48Speaker 2: and Notre Dame got hosed on Saturday.
- 34:53Speaker 4: Yeah, there were just so many situations where it's like,
- 34:56Speaker 4: and we've talked about this before, there's defensible misses, right?
- 35:00Speaker 4: Where it's like, okay, that's somewhat subjective. But then there's
- 35:04Speaker 4: ones that are like, what do you even see? What
- 35:07Speaker 4: are we doing here? And there were more of those
- 35:09Speaker 4: than I would like to count on a glorious football day. Yeah,
- 35:13Speaker 4: that unfortunately is overshadowing a lot of it.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, for Notre Dame, if you didn't see it,
- 35:20Speaker 2: a clear P.I. in the end zone, you know, very
- 35:24Speaker 2: reminiscent to the previous. Not as bad as the previous
- 35:27Speaker 2: week with Alabama, because that guy just got ran over
- 35:30Speaker 2: before the ball could get there. But, I mean, it
- 35:33Speaker 2: was clutching. It was grabbing. It was Notre Dame's best receiver.
- 35:37Speaker 2: It was out in the open so that everyone can
- 35:39Speaker 2: see it. It was so egregious that I'm like, gross.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Notre Dame's going to get another shot at the one-yard line.
- 35:46Speaker 2: And they never did. And then we find out that
- 35:50Speaker 2: because 50,000 fans in Provo stormed the field... That they
- 35:55Speaker 2: didn't want to tell them.
- 35:57Speaker 3: There was one second left.
- 35:58Speaker 2: They didn't want to do another Michigan, Central Michigan thing
- 36:01Speaker 2: or Western Michigan, whoever it was.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:03Speaker 2: See how we forget. We wouldn't have forgotten had they
- 36:06Speaker 2: given them the win. The second, yeah. But there was
- 36:10Speaker 2: another second on the clock and they would have had
- 36:12Speaker 2: the ball. College football rules wouldn't be at the one.
- 36:16Speaker 2: It would be in the NFL, but they would have
- 36:18Speaker 2: had another crack at the end zone and a closer
- 36:21Speaker 2: shot at it. And yet, The officials blew it twice.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Twice in that game. And I'm not shedding a tear
- 36:30Speaker 2: for Notre Dame. No, I'm not either. But those are
- 36:32Speaker 2: two terrible calls. And then I don't even know what
- 36:35Speaker 2: to tell you about Miami, Florida State.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Jeez.
- 36:38Speaker 2: But to pull off two successful Hail Marys and not
- 36:43Speaker 2: get credit for either one of them because, number one,
- 36:46Speaker 2: the officials were, in Gene Steratore's words, hunting for minnows
- 36:51Speaker 2: and not whales. That kind of game, that hold, you
- 36:57Speaker 2: better look back at the left tackle and he better
- 37:00Speaker 2: be holding the other guy's arm like he ripped it
- 37:03Speaker 2: off out of socket. Well, there's no getting around that.
- 37:08Speaker 2: He was holding on that play in order to reverse
- 37:12Speaker 2: that with all of the fighting that goes on on
- 37:15Speaker 2: a Hail Mary play. And then, I mean, to this moment,
- 37:22Speaker 2: You overturned a call to the wrong call? Like, the
- 37:27Speaker 2: second Hail Mary, Deuce Robinson had the football. The defensive
- 37:33Speaker 2: back didn't have either hand on the ball by the
- 37:37Speaker 2: time that he hit the ground. I've watched it over
- 37:39Speaker 2: six times. The defensive back had the ball in his hands,
- 37:42Speaker 2: but as he's coming down, Robinson's a big, strong dude.
- 37:48Speaker 2: had his hands over his head, and he's the one
- 37:50Speaker 2: that had the ball while the defensive back's arms came
- 37:54Speaker 2: off of it. So yes, it was sitting on the
- 37:56Speaker 2: defensive back's stomach. But he didn't have either hand on
- 38:01Speaker 2: the ball. And meanwhile, the wide receiver did. And they
- 38:05Speaker 2: overturned it. So in other words, they felt they saw
- 38:08Speaker 2: something wrong. conclusive that the Miami defender had the ball
- 38:14Speaker 2: when all that was missing from the replay was just
- 38:18Speaker 2: how firm a grip Robinson had or did not have,
- 38:23Speaker 2: which was not clear in the replay because you couldn't
- 38:26Speaker 2: see it for all the mass of humanity. They had
- 38:29Speaker 2: two successful Hail Marys, didn't get credit for either one
- 38:32Speaker 2: of them, and Miami is number one ranked in America
- 38:34Speaker 2: this morning.
- 38:35Speaker 3: All of a sudden.
- 38:37Speaker 4: This isn't even like a Hail Mary Seahawks-Packers situation because
- 38:40Speaker 4: it's like that one you could be like, you could
- 38:42Speaker 4: call that either way. And whatever one they came down with,
- 38:45Speaker 4: it wasn't going.
- 38:45Speaker 3: To get overturned.
- 38:46Speaker 4: But that's the egregious part is they overturned it, right?
- 38:50Speaker 4: And you could argue if it was called the other way,
- 38:52Speaker 4: it probably could have been overturned to a catch. But
- 38:55Speaker 4: the fact that they called it a catch on the
- 38:56Speaker 4: field and– Then they overturned it after that. It's just
- 39:01Speaker 4: I don't know if it's incompetence. I don't know if
- 39:03Speaker 4: there's just a lack of understanding.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Of the rule.
- 39:08Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that sad that I'm like, I hope
- 39:11Speaker 2: it was incompetence because it did not look good when
- 39:14Speaker 2: the official who announced both of those calls, Michael Irvin,
- 39:18Speaker 2: runs out onto the field and hugs him.
- 39:22Speaker 3: That's not a good look.
- 39:23Speaker 2: You're right.
- 39:23Speaker 3: That is a correct statement.
- 39:26Speaker 2: And they dap it up like, oh, I got you.
- 39:28Speaker 2: You know I've got you. got your back, buddy. I mean,
- 39:32Speaker 2: you didn't give me that money just for me to
- 39:35Speaker 2: blow it at the end. No. Yeah. I mean, I'm
- 39:38Speaker 2: not saying that's what happened, but it did not look
- 39:40Speaker 2: like that.
- 39:42Speaker 4: And it's two straight weeks of massive games being great
- 39:45Speaker 4: games being overshadowed by poor fishing.
- 39:48Speaker 2: Headlines next, plus Greg Bell on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
