2:04
Speaker 2: frost brewed cors Light Chill headlines here on this Tuesday.

2:13

Speaker 2: you at seven point thirty here this morning. You double
2:22
Speaker 2: be taking on Purdue this week, and with the Jedfish
2:27
Speaker 2: cloud hanging over the program at this point yesterday taken
2:31
Speaker 2: to task at a press conference for whether or not
2:34
Speaker 2: he does want to be here. He was, excuse me,
2:38
Speaker 2: rather adamant, and maybe the most adamant he's been about
2:42
Speaker 2: this entire topic yesterday, assuring people are attempting to assure
2:47
Speaker 2: people that he absolutely wants to be here and is
2:49
Speaker 2: here for the long term. We'll talk to coach new
2:52
Speaker 2: Eiel about it a little bit later on in the show.
2:54
Speaker 2: College Basketball. It'sww excuse me, ub wazoo Apple Cup Hardwood Week.
3:01
Speaker 2: If that's just way too much to say, I don't
3:03
Speaker 2: even think I should say it. Frankly, It's going to
3:05
Speaker 2: be Friday Night crack and taking on Columbus tonight at
3:09
Speaker 2: seven o'clock, and the American League Rookies of the Year
3:12

Speaker 2: Dan Wilson a finalist there. So we'll certainly talk about
3:24
Speaker 2: a little bit later on in the show, But right now,
3:27
Speaker 2: let's welcome in our Seahawks insider Greg Bail.
3:30
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. Yeah. Happy Veterans Day to all of
3:32
Speaker 3: my brothers and sisters and arms and our country. Appreciates you.
3:37
Speaker 2: Thank you Tuesday. How about Veterans days normally on Mondays?
3:42
Speaker 2: Am I missing this or does it flow during the
3:45
Speaker 2: course of the week.
3:47
Speaker 3: No, I think it's always been on a Tuesday.
3:49
Speaker 2: It's always on a Tuesday, Okay, I think, okay, maybe
3:53
Speaker 2: wrong about that.
3:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, how old is the Army?
3:57
Speaker 3: The Army?
3:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, cheez, make you do math. At seven am.
4:04
Speaker 3: West Point was eighteen oh two, so the Army was
4:08
Speaker 3: before that.
4:10
Speaker 4: I was just wondering because I know yesterday was the
4:12
Speaker 4: two hundred and fiftieth birthday for the Marines. I sent
4:15
Speaker 4: my brother in law that was a marine or is
4:18
Speaker 4: a marine the thanks type of a text message or whatever,
4:22
Speaker 4: And so I just wonder because I figured the Army
4:24
Speaker 4: was the oldest.
4:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Army is the oldest, and the Marines copied
4:28
Speaker 3: off the Army, so that you've heard my joke many times.
4:34
Speaker 3: You've heard my marine joke many times. Marines are Navy
4:37
Speaker 3: guys who flunked out of.
4:38
Speaker 2: The Army, by the way, I was wondering, and then
4:44
Speaker 2: we'll get into the seahawks.
4:45
Speaker 3: Was one of my jar heads out there? I'm sorry.
4:47
Speaker 3: I love my jar heads. Don't send any nasty text was.
4:51
Speaker 2: There any part of you that ever roots for Navy, Like,
4:54
Speaker 2: were you rooting for Navy over Notre Dame this Saturday?
4:57
Speaker 2: Just curious?
5:00
Speaker 3: I was rooting for a competitively. I don't like Notre Dame.
5:02
Speaker 3: I can't stand her name personally, but honestly, no, the
5:07
Speaker 3: last time, yeah, the last time I heard it for
5:10
Speaker 3: Navy was against Iraq.
5:12
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I think we won and covered. I'm
5:16
Speaker 2: pretty sure. Yeah. All right, well let's get into this
5:20
Speaker 2: Seahawks Rams week this week, and yeah, as much as
5:24
Speaker 2: we have to still talk about from this past Sunday,
5:28
Speaker 2: it's hard not to think about the biggest game of
5:31
Speaker 2: the year so far coming up on Sunday afternoon.
5:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, they turned the page pretty quickly. Yesterday they didn't
5:39
Speaker 3: break down the Rams because they had just gotten out
5:41
Speaker 3: of film and they were doing their food trucks. Mike
5:44
Speaker 3: McDonald has this deal where they win on Sunday, they
5:46
Speaker 3: get food trucks come out to the facility on Monday.
5:50
Speaker 3: And I jokingly asked them, so if they lose, they
5:52
Speaker 3: go hungry and here, yeah, they lose, they go on.
5:55
Speaker 3: But what's interesting is Matt Stafford is just lighting it up, right.
6:00
Speaker 3: He's an MVP candidate, maybe the favorite to win the
6:03
Speaker 3: MVP right now, and they've been just boat racing everybody.
6:07
Speaker 3: I think it's four wins in a row by fourteen
6:09
Speaker 3: and more points. Yet this game features the two teams
6:13
Speaker 3: that are allowing the fewest points in the NFC right
6:16
Speaker 3: now and are two of the best four best point
6:21
Speaker 3: allowed defenses in the league. So while Stafford and Darnold
6:27
Speaker 3: are getting all the attention, defenses are why these two
6:30
Speaker 3: teams are combined fourteen and four right now. That pretends
6:34
Speaker 3: it's going to be a low scoring game.
6:36
Speaker 5: But.
6:37
Speaker 3: It's just interesting to me that Sean McVay, for all
6:41
Speaker 3: the acumen he has offensively and the kudos he gets
6:44
Speaker 3: there being a genius offensively, when the Rams of the
6:47
Speaker 3: best and they're really humming, it's their defense. Ernest Jones
6:51
Speaker 3: was part of that defense that won the Super Bowl
6:53
Speaker 3: for the Rams in twenty twenty one. When they go far,
6:56
Speaker 3: it's because of their defense. They remade their defense on
6:59
Speaker 3: the fly, and they had Barbie Whyding to go through
7:02
Speaker 3: there for a year, and they had the greatest defensive
7:05
Speaker 3: tackle maybe an NFL history, retire on them, and they
7:08
Speaker 3: just keep reloading on the fly they went a couple
7:11
Speaker 3: of years without even top draft picks because the trades,
7:14
Speaker 3: and yet here they are really didn't dip much at all.
7:17
Speaker 3: Was one drive away from a snowstorm in Philadelphia last
7:20
Speaker 3: year from beating the eventual Super Bowl champions in the playoffs.
7:24
Speaker 3: But I would not overlook the defensive matchup and what
7:26
Speaker 3: the Rams present. Defensively, it's usually an attacking, blitzing shore tackling,
7:31
Speaker 3: stopped the run defense.
7:33
Speaker 2: In that, I'm with you.
7:35
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that the headline is McVeigh versus McDonald,
7:39
Speaker 4: which would presume mcveigh's offensive mind in his offense versus
7:43
Speaker 4: the Seahawks defense. And yet I do think the other
7:46
Speaker 4: side of that coin is going to be interesting as well.
7:50
Speaker 4: It's interesting you're talking about how they turned the page
7:52
Speaker 4: and it's they had food truck Day or whatever. I
7:55
Speaker 4: saw something yesterday and I think it was Leonard Williams
7:58
Speaker 4: that was talking about how when or lose coaches just
8:01
Speaker 4: basically getting them all right back to the process, all
8:03
Speaker 4: right back to the process, which is a great leadership tool,
8:06
Speaker 4: I think, to get guys understanding that whatever happened in
8:09
Speaker 4: the past, the outcome is where it is and now
8:12
Speaker 4: it's back to getting heading towards the direct, in the
8:15
Speaker 4: direction of getting better. So what is it that you're
8:17
Speaker 4: seeing now a year and a half into this thing
8:20
Speaker 4: about the culture that you like or maybe something that
8:22
Speaker 4: you don't like.
8:25
Speaker 3: I really like how Mike McDonald relates to his players, Bucky,
8:29
Speaker 3: You're right about the leaders It is a leadership thing
8:31
Speaker 3: to talk about the process over the results. The NFL
8:35
Speaker 3: football in general is more conducive to that than say
8:38
Speaker 3: your sport baseball, because you know they're playing baseball every day,
8:42
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty two games a year. The results
8:44
Speaker 3: take precedence because there is the process is the result.
8:48
Speaker 3: Every day is a result. In the NFL, the results
8:51
Speaker 3: come on every seven days mostly, and so there are
8:54
Speaker 3: six days between games to focus on that process. Not
8:58
Speaker 3: to mention that in base training camps are essentially spring
9:02
Speaker 3: training six weeks, and in football the practices start in
9:06
Speaker 3: April and go all the way to the end of August.
9:09
Speaker 3: So the process takes precedence in football because of the calendar,
9:13
Speaker 3: and so coaches have a ton of time to instill
9:16
Speaker 3: the process and do instill the way they want to train,
9:19
Speaker 3: and training becomes more important than performance because training, the
9:23
Speaker 3: Gats performance. What's impressed me most personally about McDonald as
9:29
Speaker 3: the first time head coach, the buy in he's gotten
9:32
Speaker 3: from his players and the methods he's using. He really
9:36
Speaker 3: does have a carrot and stick approach. There are times
9:39
Speaker 3: that he is really hard on them and just unyielding,
9:43
Speaker 3: both verbally and demanding physically in the physicality of the practices,
9:49
Speaker 3: and not so much during the season. They don't have
9:51
Speaker 3: many rules that allow them to do that, but especially
9:54
Speaker 3: during training camp. Yet he does little things like the
9:59
Speaker 3: food trucks. It's just a silly example, but what was
10:02
Speaker 3: really telling to me was the bye week. Almost every
10:06
Speaker 3: NFL team, Now, Pete Carroll was one of the first
10:08
Speaker 3: to do this fifteen years ago, but almost every NFL
10:11
Speaker 3: team takes the entire week by week off winner lose
10:13
Speaker 3: the previous game, right, but almost every team comes back
10:18
Speaker 3: from their game on Sunday, come back Sunday, they play
10:23
Speaker 3: game on Sunday, and they come back Monday and they
10:24
Speaker 3: do film, they do training, and then they let him
10:27
Speaker 3: go Monday night to be off till the following Monday morning.
10:30
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald, it was a very small thing, but Mike
10:33
Speaker 3: McDonald told him in the locker room after they beat
10:35
Speaker 3: Houston the week the game, right before the bye see you,
10:38
Speaker 3: I'll see you in eight days. Don't even come in tomorrow.
10:40
Speaker 3: We're not doing film. That's a little thing, but that's
10:44
Speaker 3: unexpected one and two. They loved it. Unexpectedly. He's taken
10:49
Speaker 3: them to Fort Lewis Well Joint what Base Lewis McCord
10:51
Speaker 3: it's called now to train with the Army Rangers. Just
10:53
Speaker 3: throw him on a bus and said, we're not practicing today.
10:56
Speaker 3: We're going down to Lewis McCord and we're gonna go
10:58
Speaker 3: meet with the Army Rangers. Are saws and artillery weapons
11:03
Speaker 3: and STU a good old time meeting the military. He
11:05
Speaker 3: brings special Forces guys in. He's brought Navy seals in.
11:09
Speaker 3: He's brought special operations units from our civilian law enforcement
11:15
Speaker 3: into practices. He doesn't like us to publicize that. A
11:20
Speaker 3: lot of it is because there's operational security of people
11:23
Speaker 3: that are coming in and don't want to be recognized.
11:26
Speaker 3: But he does a lot of military things. He's the
11:28
Speaker 3: son of a West Point graduate, I've said, and he
11:31
Speaker 3: has a lot of military influence. The stuff he says,
11:35
Speaker 3: if you're walking you're wrong and the commander's intent tip
11:41
Speaker 3: of the spear. Things I heard every day in my
11:43
Speaker 3: army life. I hear out on the Seahawks practice field
11:46
Speaker 3: from Mike McDonald's and he's twenty something. Guys are really
11:49
Speaker 3: buying into it. Couse, winning helps, but even before they
11:52
Speaker 3: started winning, at the beginning of the last season, they
11:54
Speaker 3: were brought.
11:54
Speaker 2: In Greg bell Is with us our Seahawks insider. You
11:57
Speaker 2: can follow him at g mel Seattle on X and
11:59
Speaker 2: of course whre's Thenewstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage.
12:04
Speaker 2: And we have, of course a major injury coming out
12:07
Speaker 2: of this game on Sunday. How long is Jalen Sundell
12:10
Speaker 2: going to be out? And then secondarily is olu Ola
12:14
Speaker 2: with Timmy ready to step in in the biggest game
12:16
Speaker 2: of the year.
12:18
Speaker 3: Well, it could be a month. McDonald mentioned that they
12:21
Speaker 3: are considering injured reserve for Sundel with the knee injury
12:25
Speaker 3: he got in the first half against Arizona. And of course,
12:28
Speaker 3: if you go on injury reserve, you after miss four weeks.
12:29
Speaker 3: If he goes on injury reserve this week, the first
12:31
Speaker 3: time he could play would be December fourteenth against the
12:33
Speaker 3: Colts the home game they have. Then Ol with Timmy
12:37
Speaker 3: came in and then the first snap he had a
12:39
Speaker 3: snap infraction on what was supposed to be a short
12:42
Speaker 3: yard He's pushbush type of play with Barner. It was
12:45
Speaker 3: he picked the ball up before he snapped it. That's
12:46
Speaker 3: a five yard penalty. They went from the one yard
12:49
Speaker 3: line to the sixth. Fortunately for the Seahawks, Ax Sharbonney
12:52
Speaker 3: ran right behind Oval with Timmy in the next play.
12:55
Speaker 3: We saw Old Timmy fumble the snap. On the next drive,
12:58
Speaker 3: his third snap mishandled snap with Sam Donald that cost
13:02
Speaker 3: him a turnover and handed the Cardinals their first touchdown.
13:05
Speaker 3: But it bears mentioning that on Zach Sarbone's six yard
13:09
Speaker 3: touchdown run after the snap infraction by Oli Timmy Ola,
13:12
Speaker 3: Timmy spun and buried the nose tackle put him on
13:14
Speaker 3: the ground on a pancake block, and that's why Sharbone
13:18
Speaker 3: ran into the end zone for the touchdown. He ran
13:20
Speaker 3: right over him, So it wasn't as if it was
13:23
Speaker 3: just a mess for Olo Timmy. But in the center position,
13:26
Speaker 3: as we know, if you don't get the snap of
13:28
Speaker 3: the quarterback doesn't matter what else you do. You have
13:31
Speaker 3: to get the snap to the quarterback and Donald chocked
13:34
Speaker 3: it up and McDonald chucked it up to not having
13:36
Speaker 3: a lot of reps at the center of exchange. Donald
13:40
Speaker 3: did say they tried as much as they could once
13:42
Speaker 3: Sundale got hurt, of course, on the side to try
13:44
Speaker 3: to take some practice snaps. But suffice to say he'll
13:47
Speaker 3: take a lot more snaps from old Timmy this week
13:49
Speaker 3: than he did the first nine weeks combined.
13:52
Speaker 6: Uh.
13:52
Speaker 4: Pritchett did well in his time when he was filling
13:56
Speaker 4: in for Job. Do you have any idea about Job's
13:59
Speaker 4: status and does it matter necessarily considering how well he played, No.
14:04
Speaker 3: It matters. Josh Job is great. He's great on the ball,
14:07
Speaker 3: and he's a sure tackler. Nami. Pritchett was the sixth
14:10
Speaker 3: defensive backend dime, so he wasn't starting and getting the
14:14
Speaker 3: reps that Josh Job would get if he comes back.
14:16
Speaker 3: Job is still in the protocol, the concussion protocol, so
14:19
Speaker 3: that's going to probably be the end of the week
14:21
Speaker 3: type of thing. It'll go the way it went with
14:24
Speaker 3: Breke Wollan when Woman had a concussion to missed the game.
14:27
Speaker 3: He brought him back to practice in the middle of
14:29
Speaker 3: the following week, tried to bring him back a second
14:31
Speaker 3: consecutive day. It didn't go well. He fell behind in
14:34
Speaker 3: the protocol, didn't have the baseline the test results closer
14:38
Speaker 3: to his baseline like he was supposed to, and he
14:39
Speaker 3: didn't play the following week. So that'll be Job's week
14:42
Speaker 3: to see if he can get on the field and
14:44
Speaker 3: then what his cognitive tests looked like compared to his
14:47
Speaker 3: baseline test after he comes back to practice. Pritchett made
14:51
Speaker 3: what McDonald said yesterday was one of the most amazing
14:54
Speaker 3: plays on the ball he's seen a cornerback ever make
14:56
Speaker 3: and on that end zone one and he was falling down.
15:00
Speaker 3: The receiver had it and was right below me in
15:03
Speaker 3: the press box. I thought it was a touchdown, but Joe,
15:05
Speaker 3: while falling down, reached back and ripped the ball out.
15:08
Speaker 3: They were both splayed on the ground and that play
15:12
Speaker 3: kept it from being a two score game with about
15:14
Speaker 3: six minutes left. I mean, it was a blowout, but
15:17
Speaker 3: it would have been a two score game if Pritchett
15:19
Speaker 3: hadn't done that. So he's there more time.
15:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. Phenomenal play. Phenomenal play from Pritchett day
15:27
Speaker 2: on Sunday if.
15:29
Speaker 3: They're going to go excuse me, I asked if they
15:31
Speaker 3: were going to go more dying because of Pritchett, and
15:33
Speaker 3: he goes, yeah, it makes me think we should do
15:35
Speaker 3: more dime when Pritchett's playing like this. McDonald has not
15:38
Speaker 3: been a dime coach for most of his career here
15:40
Speaker 3: so far, the first two seasons. But if Pritchett's playing
15:43
Speaker 3: like this, you could see more. I think dyme would
15:45
Speaker 3: be more. He'd be easier to do more dyme if
15:48
Speaker 3: Heernie Jones is on the field as the low linebackers
15:50
Speaker 3: Saturday Sunday.
15:51
Speaker 2: All right, last minute here, just curious. I mean, another
15:54
Speaker 2: coach fired yesterday in the National Football League. How far
15:58
Speaker 2: away are we from Clint Rumors going to considering the
16:02
Speaker 2: success that he's having with this offense this year.
16:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought about that yesterday, Chuck, and I thought
16:08
Speaker 3: it would be premature for me to ask McDonald about
16:11
Speaker 3: Kubiak and the possibility of teams coming to interview him.
16:15
Speaker 3: I will say this that, yes, if an offense has
16:19
Speaker 3: success like this, that they get attention and the coordinator
16:22
Speaker 3: to play caller gets attention for it, especially unexpected somewhat
16:26
Speaker 3: unexpected around the league that the Seahawks are having. I'll
16:29
Speaker 3: also say this, Clint Kubiak is a great, great, meticulous
16:33
Speaker 3: eaches guy and in the weeds and comfortable in that realm.
16:40
Speaker 3: He's not very dynamic. I don't know how. And that's
16:43
Speaker 3: just not just with us. But I've asked players as
16:46
Speaker 3: he joked, as he laughed, and YE know, at bit.
16:50
Speaker 3: But and this may be fullhearty in me to say,
16:55
Speaker 3: because I'm not inside the meetings and whatnot, he doesn't
16:58
Speaker 3: strike me as head coach material at this point. His
17:00
Speaker 3: career is what I'm trying to say. He's really good
17:03
Speaker 3: at what he does, leading, being a CEO of a team,
17:07
Speaker 3: being the front man, motivating, standing up on a pedestal
17:11
Speaker 3: in the middle of the locker room. We're rawing them,
17:13
Speaker 3: we're cracking the whip. And he had I don't I
17:15
Speaker 3: haven't been around him a ton, but I don't see that.
17:17
Speaker 3: He certainly has a pedigree and having been around football
17:20
Speaker 3: his entire life because his dad was a quarterback in
17:23
Speaker 3: the Broncos and then a coach for the Super Bowl Broncos.
17:26
Speaker 3: But I don't see it yet. His name's going to
17:29
Speaker 3: get flowed. It probably already has been floated around in
17:31
Speaker 3: New York. Of course, they're going to float every name
17:33
Speaker 3: of any coach who ever had a whistle after him,
17:36
Speaker 3: the Giants have been in the last few years. My honest,
17:39
Speaker 3: gut opinion, without really having scientific evidence is that he's
17:43
Speaker 3: not head coach material at this point. Well he'll get yeah,
17:45
Speaker 3: he'll get mentioned.
17:46
Speaker 2: A Thank you, Sara, We appreciate it. We will talk
17:49
Speaker 2: to you tomorrow.
17:51
Speaker 3: Happy Tuesday.
17:51
Speaker 2: Thank you, all right, Greg Bell, of course, Happy Veterans Day,
17:55
Speaker 2: all the veterans out there, and Greg Bell joining us
17:58
Speaker 2: at every single day pretty much on this radio program.
18:02
Speaker 2: We have a new title sponsor this year. Delacato Family
18:05
Speaker 2: Wines offers a portfolio of premium wines from a selection
18:09
Speaker 2: of the most desirable vineyards from notable wine growing regions
18:12
Speaker 2: in California, Germany, and Chile. The winery harvest grapes for
18:17
Speaker 2: more than six thousand acres of East Estate vineyards in
18:21
Speaker 2: California's Napa, Low Diime, Monterey and Sonoma regions to craft
18:25
Speaker 2: wines that express the diversity of these appellations. All right,
18:29
Speaker 2: Coming up next, Factor Fiction at seven thirty five, It's
18:32
Speaker 2: Ashley's Pick today plus College football rankings come out tonight.
18:37
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ruin it for you. I'm gonna tell you
18:38
Speaker 2: exactly what's gonna happen. Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
18:50
Speaker 7: Right Factor Fiction at seven thirty five.
18:52
Speaker 2: Little Beast of breaking news for you. The Mavericks are
18:55
Speaker 2: expected to fire general manager Nico Harrison today, less than
18:59
Speaker 2: one one year after he traded away Luka doncicch On
19:04
Speaker 2: not very favorably to fans in Dallas. They have been
19:07
Speaker 2: chanting fire Nico ever since. It's spilled over into this year.
19:11
Speaker 2: If Nico Harrison did make that trade because the NBA
19:15
Speaker 2: wanted him to, we might finally find out.
19:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, when he gets fired and then he blames them.
19:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he sues them, we might have finally
19:23
Speaker 2: find out for dirt behind the scenes on that. But yeah,
19:28
Speaker 2: I don't think they could have kept going. I mean,
19:30
Speaker 2: I don't want fans to necessarily dictate if I'm an owner,
19:34
Speaker 2: my decisions that I make and what I feel are
19:36
Speaker 2: best for the organization going forward. But when your entire
19:40
Speaker 2: fan base for five straight months and hasn't forgotten about
19:44
Speaker 2: it through the off season, continues to chant during every
19:47
Speaker 2: game while he's in the building, fire Nico. Yeah, I
19:50
Speaker 2: don't know if he can do that anymore. And they're
19:52
Speaker 2: two and eight or whatever and three and seven or
19:55
Speaker 2: something like that to start the year. So whatever he
19:58
Speaker 2: did because he said, he said, we made this trade
20:00
Speaker 2: to make the team better, Well they've gotten not gotten better.
20:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well that's the that's the bottom line is you
20:06
Speaker 4: can't come out there and just lay an egg to
20:08
Speaker 4: start off the season. Expect that everybody's going to turn
20:11
Speaker 4: their turn a blind eye to it, especially consider how
20:14
Speaker 4: how badly they were hurt by the actions last year.
20:18
Speaker 2: Well, fire Nico, you got your wish. Dallas Mavericks fans,
20:21
Speaker 2: looks like he is going to be let go today.
20:23
Speaker 2: All right, college football rankings come out tonight. We'll certainly
20:25
Speaker 2: talk about them with Rick Newel at nine o'clock today.
20:30
Speaker 2: I know, you probably need just an extra hour back
20:33
Speaker 2: in your life this evening, maybe to take a walk,
20:36
Speaker 2: you know, maybe join a pottery class, you know, maybe
20:40
Speaker 2: take the wife out for you know, nachos. Yeah, there
20:43
Speaker 2: are a lot of different things you can do at
20:45
Speaker 2: that hour and not watch an hour long college football
20:50
Speaker 2: ranking of something that really doesn't mean anything. So I'm
20:55
Speaker 2: just gonna go ahead and give it to you right now.
20:58
Speaker 2: Ohio State will be number one. I think there's a
21:01
Speaker 2: chance Texas A and M jumps Indiana to number two
21:05
Speaker 2: and Indiana comes in at number three, as Indiana barely
21:07
Speaker 2: survived with that win and the Aggies have racked up
21:11
Speaker 2: quite the impressive resume, so I think there's a chance
21:13
Speaker 2: they could flip flop those two at two and three.
21:16
Speaker 2: Alabama was four last week, there'll be four this week.
21:19
Speaker 2: Georgia will be five, Ole Miss will be six, BYU
21:22
Speaker 2: will be out at seven, So Texas Tech, having beaten
21:25
Speaker 2: them soundly, will jump into that seven hole. I would
21:28
Speaker 2: assume Oregon, despite a tough one with Iowa, will still
21:32
Speaker 2: move up. I think they'll go to eight. Notre Dame
21:37
Speaker 2: will move up to nine. The new ten will be Texas.
21:40
Speaker 2: They were eleven last week even though they didn't make
21:43
Speaker 2: the twelve team field, but they certainly didn't do anything
21:47
Speaker 2: to hurt their resume, so I think they'll to be
21:50
Speaker 2: the team that jumps newly in to the pool. They
21:53
Speaker 2: go with the ACC leader at eleven because none of
21:56
Speaker 2: them are ranked in the top twelve. So right now
21:58
Speaker 2: that's Georgia Tech. But there are five teams in the
22:00
Speaker 2: ACC with only one loss, so that could be anybody
22:04
Speaker 2: that comes out of there. And then number twelve, I'm
22:06
Speaker 2: just gonna I'm just gonna go with James Madison. I
22:09
Speaker 2: don't know what the what the ranking committee is thinking
22:12
Speaker 2: right now, but they're currently the highest ranked AP team
22:15
Speaker 2: that's outside the power for So I'll put James Madison
22:18
Speaker 2: at twelve. But that should be that should be your twelve.
22:21
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if it was anything else.
22:23
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean it's weird to me how the rankings.
22:30
Speaker 4: I you know how I feel about the rankings early
22:33
Speaker 4: in the year, and yet then they still matter then,
22:36
Speaker 4: but then as that teams fall off a little bit,
22:38
Speaker 4: then they don't matter as much. Like Penn State's a
22:40
Speaker 4: prime example of that. And yet when I just watched
22:42
Speaker 4: that game, the Oregon Penn State game, it looks like
22:45
Speaker 4: two really good teams going at it. Now Penn State's
22:47
Speaker 4: falling off, and so now it's discredited. It's taken away
22:51
Speaker 4: from it to some extent. I've read a couple different
22:54
Speaker 4: articles talking about oh Miss and how they might jump
22:58
Speaker 4: Oregon and or whatever, that they're gonna fin it be higher,
23:02
Speaker 4: and yet it's like, but they just be I mean,
23:04
Speaker 4: whooped up on Citadel. But it's like, how is it
23:08
Speaker 4: just seems odd to me? And that's right.
23:09
Speaker 2: Ahead of them though they won't they won't jump them,
23:11
Speaker 2: they were already ahead of them that they're going.
23:13
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, it's that that to me is one where
23:17
Speaker 4: I don't know, beating Citadel if that equates to very
23:21
Speaker 4: much to me. And yet it just is. It just
23:24
Speaker 4: continues to as I watch how some of the predictions go,
23:27
Speaker 4: and then when the rankings come out, just part of
23:29
Speaker 4: it makes me feel like, thank God, none of these
23:31
Speaker 4: matter until it matters till the final one. I'm just
23:34
Speaker 4: happy that it doesn't matter until then, because.
23:36
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think I don't think Oregon's gonna jump
23:38
Speaker 2: for Old Miss jump three spots because ole Miss had
23:41
Speaker 2: Citadel on its schedule last week and they still have
23:45
Speaker 2: a resume of accomplishment so far this year.
23:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean they have. Yeah, they definitely have
23:50
Speaker 4: a resume. I'm not saying that they're not good. I
23:53
Speaker 4: think that it's it goes into again some of the
23:55
Speaker 4: teams that they play just in the SEC that aren't
23:58
Speaker 4: necessarily great teams, but they get credit for them as
24:01
Speaker 4: if it's like not great, but there's still a little
24:04
Speaker 4: plus signed by it because that they're an SEC team
24:07
Speaker 4: we know who.
24:07
Speaker 2: Won't be in the top twenty five. Yeah, yeah, we do.
24:10
Speaker 2: All right, let's play some factor fiction of cour's that
24:13
Speaker 2: to go glad you're with us.
24:14
Speaker 5: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
24:18
Speaker 5: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's factor fiction, probably presented
24:23
Speaker 5: by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every Day Feels Lucky.
24:27
Speaker 5: Fact Door fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
24:31
Speaker 5: three KJR FM.
24:36
Speaker 7: All right, Ashley speak today.
24:38
Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't come through well last night. I had
24:41
Speaker 2: a chance. Should have gone with the under Yeah, the
24:44
Speaker 2: under gosh, I set it off there, set it off
24:47
Speaker 2: the air, but I didn't go with it. Went with
24:49
Speaker 2: my original fault that the Packers are gonna win the game.
24:53
Speaker 2: It didn't happen, and they look like crap. All right, Ashley,
24:56
Speaker 2: redeem me. What do we got today? I'm gonna try.
24:58
Speaker 6: I'm gonna try, and Bucky apologize in advance for taking
25:01
Speaker 6: what might have been your pick. Kansas City is heading
25:04
Speaker 6: to Denver on Sunday, and Kansas City is a four
25:08
Speaker 6: and a half point favorite. Now you love you know
25:10
Speaker 6: I love a foreign or a home underdog. It's my favorite.
25:15
Speaker 6: So Denver has two losses, they have been by a
25:18
Speaker 6: combined total of four points. Give me Denver plus the
25:21
Speaker 6: four and a half at home against Kansas City.
25:24
Speaker 2: All right, look at that.
25:25
Speaker 4: I like that pick. I wouldn't have taken it. I
25:28
Speaker 4: don't need the double whammy. True if I get a
25:31
Speaker 4: pick wrong and it was my team losing. But yeah,
25:34
Speaker 4: so this is one where I like that.
25:37
Speaker 2: I like that.
25:37
Speaker 4: I think that they have they've you can't say they've
25:40
Speaker 4: had their number, but they've played Kansas City really tough
25:43
Speaker 4: in the last couple of years.
25:44
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's our way of kissing up to
25:46
Speaker 2: you because she won't carry you to the bathroom to pee.
25:50
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, that's why I picked that.
25:52
Speaker 4: Yeah that makes sense.
25:53
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. That's her way of saying I'm sorry.
25:56
Speaker 2: I would if I physically could carry you to the
26:00
Speaker 2: bathroom with your bad knee so that you didn't have
26:02
Speaker 2: to walk the entire way in your pand yeah, no
26:05
Speaker 2: so and lieu of that, I'm going to pick your
26:09
Speaker 2: favorite football team. And here's an empty bottle. I mean
26:13
Speaker 2: losely but still cover. Oh that's unfortunate.
26:17
Speaker 6: Really carefully win or lose, just don't lose by more
26:22
Speaker 6: than five four, four and a half.
26:25
Speaker 2: Ashley's going to take the Denver Broncos at home against
26:27
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. They are getting four and a half
26:30
Speaker 2: points at home against the Chiefs, And so if you
26:35
Speaker 2: agree with that, pick text fact to four nine, four
26:37
Speaker 2: to five to one. If you disagree, text fiction to
26:39
Speaker 2: four nine four or five to one. If you're right,
26:41
Speaker 2: we enter your name into a drawing for one thousand
26:43
Speaker 2: dollars at the end of the week. But you can
26:45
Speaker 2: play every single time we play Factor Fiction, which is
26:48
Speaker 2: four times per day right here at KJR, So make
26:51
Speaker 2: sure you're playing often. Weigh that thousand dollars drawing in
26:55
Speaker 2: your favor to try to win it this week. Of course,
26:58
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars could yours if you end up winning
27:01
Speaker 2: the Factor Fiction season. But you're gonna have to get
27:04
Speaker 2: the most picks right against all that other competition. Oh yes,
27:08
Speaker 2: we got to beat that competition, all right. And it's
27:12
Speaker 2: all brought to you by our brand new sponsor, Lucky
27:14
Speaker 2: Eagle Casino and Hotel. They're back to going twenty four
27:20
Speaker 2: every Friday and Saturday twenty four hour gaming. It's already
27:24
Speaker 2: underway at Luckyeagle dot com. Coming up next, A couple
27:29
Speaker 2: of things have broken here today, and one of them
27:35
Speaker 2: out of Major League Baseball. They're trying to deal with
27:38
Speaker 2: their gambling scandal. Have they gone far enough? Sports Radio
27:42
Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM, it's Chuck a back of
27:45
Speaker 2: the morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRF. M.
27:48
Speaker 2: Jean Stertor is gonna join us at the top of
27:50
Speaker 2: the hour at eight o'clock to talk about some officiating
27:54
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. My guy Clay Martin on
27:56
Speaker 2: the call again last night.
27:57
Speaker 4: You notice that, Yeah, but I noticed there was like
28:01
Speaker 4: only one penalty in the first quarter.
28:03
Speaker 2: Was there really? Yeah? There were a lot though, weren't there?
28:06
Speaker 4: I don't think, I mean, it ended up being some,
28:09
Speaker 4: but there was a bunch that. That was a big
28:11
Speaker 4: talking point today was that they weren't calling all the
28:14
Speaker 4: tush bushes or false starts. They finally we're.
28:17
Speaker 2: Gonna ask about that one. Yeah, exactly. We will be
28:20
Speaker 2: talking to Gene about that. I also, but I want
28:22
Speaker 2: to talk about this right now. This this just broke
28:24
Speaker 2: this morning. Apparently Major League Baseball. There was a report
28:28
Speaker 2: yesterday that Major League Baseball and the sports books and
28:31
Speaker 2: the daily prop bet people we're gonna get together. There's
28:35
Speaker 2: been a recent obviously NBA scandal when it comes to
28:39
Speaker 2: prop betting, revolving around Terry Rogier, and Major League Baseball
28:45
Speaker 2: has its own involving Luis Ortiz and also Emmanuel Classe,
28:50
Speaker 2: one of the best closers in the game, and they're
28:53
Speaker 2: never gonna play in base They're not gonna play baseball again.
28:55
Speaker 2: And it sounds like it's gonna be a while before
28:57
Speaker 2: they breathe free air again, those two gentleman. But there
29:02
Speaker 2: was a report yesterday suggesting that they were meeting and
29:04
Speaker 2: there could be some changes made, and now we know
29:08
Speaker 2: one of the changes. I'm hoping this is just scratching
29:11
Speaker 2: the surface, but MLB is gonna limit pitch bets to
29:15
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars after the pitching indictments of the two
29:20
Speaker 2: Guardians pitchers. How about just not having the ability to
29:25
Speaker 2: bet on balls or strikes or which pitch was thrown?
29:29
Speaker 2: Can we do that? Why does it? Let's eliminate nonsense
29:34
Speaker 2: like that, there should not be an ability to bet
29:38
Speaker 2: on the assist total of the ninth man on a
29:41
Speaker 2: team in the NBA. I mean, it's not like people
29:45
Speaker 2: are gonna stop betting if they can't bet that second
29:49
Speaker 2: on what's going to happen next. The more fine you
29:53
Speaker 2: make it, the more you open it up to corruption.
29:56
Speaker 2: And so to me, this doesn't go far and just
30:00
Speaker 2: eliminate the ability to bet pitch to pitch in Major
30:04
Speaker 2: League Baseball games. Don't even allow it, Rob, What on earth?
30:09
Speaker 2: Why are we stopping so short like this is gonna
30:12
Speaker 2: solve the problem. Now they're just gonna make more two
30:14
Speaker 2: hundred dollars bets. I mean, it's not gonna solve the problem.
30:18
Speaker 2: It's just gonna delay an even bigger scandal. Now all
30:22
Speaker 2: of a sudden, people pitchers are like, oh, that's all
30:24
Speaker 2: it's gonna be changed. I'm in.
30:28
Speaker 3: No.
30:28
Speaker 2: You have to crack down on this. Sportsbooks need to
30:32
Speaker 2: get together with all the professional sports and take some
30:36
Speaker 2: of these options off of the table, these minutia options
30:39
Speaker 2: off the table.
30:41
Speaker 4: Well, I'll just start by saying, I don't you have
30:44
Speaker 4: to be an idiot to just be a professional athlete.
30:48
Speaker 2: And join in any of it.
30:50
Speaker 4: Now, back when you know the Black Sox thing was
30:53
Speaker 4: going on, I mean, those players were, you know, making
30:56
Speaker 4: peanuts compared to what today's players are making even relative
30:59
Speaker 4: to the times, and and you know how much.
31:01
Speaker 2: A dollar is worth.
31:03
Speaker 4: And so I'm not I'm not overly concerned about the
31:08
Speaker 4: you can't get rid of stupid, Like there's gonna be
31:10
Speaker 4: people that are gonna do stupid things regardless. And you're
31:13
Speaker 4: never going to get rid of gambling because especially the
31:16
Speaker 4: fact that now these all of these uh, these leagues
31:20
Speaker 4: realize how much money they can make. I'm not saying
31:23
Speaker 4: to get rid of gaming. Well, I know you're saying
31:26
Speaker 4: then just you know, nip it in the bud. As
31:28
Speaker 4: far as the the uh you know, pitch you know bets,
31:31
Speaker 4: the two and dollars pitch bets, to me, it's just
31:33
Speaker 4: kind of one of those I don't I think the
31:36
Speaker 4: gambling is kind of there's a gross element to it.
31:39
Speaker 4: I think there's a part of it that turns if
31:41
Speaker 4: I would want to get rid of it to some degree.
31:44
Speaker 4: It's the idea of how empowered Now some guy that
31:47
Speaker 4: puts a couple hundred bucks or more money on something
31:50
Speaker 4: and then you fail to come through while you're entertaining
31:53
Speaker 4: him with your athletic prowess, and now he wants to
31:55
Speaker 4: give you death threats or just literally wishes ill upon you.
31:59
Speaker 4: To me, that's the that's it's the ugly part of gambling.
32:01
Speaker 4: And yet it's not going anywhere. And I don't know
32:03
Speaker 4: for sure if you're going to even cutting it back
32:06
Speaker 4: a step toward now all of a sudden, you can't
32:09
Speaker 4: you do you do incentivize the idea of somebody thinking
32:13
Speaker 4: we'll shoot you know. I mean, maybe it's just a
32:16
Speaker 4: rookie that came up to the big leagues. He doesn't
32:19
Speaker 4: have much time. He's thinking, I don't know if I'm
32:22
Speaker 4: going to last up here. I could put big chunks
32:25
Speaker 4: of change on something and make a stupid decision, but
32:27
Speaker 4: maybe cash out and all of a sudden walk away
32:29
Speaker 4: with a couple hundred thousand dollars. If you want to
32:31
Speaker 4: do that, go ahead and do that. But to me,
32:33
Speaker 4: you're risking so much more than what it's worth, and
32:36
Speaker 4: so I just don't. I mean, to me, this is
32:38
Speaker 4: a step in the right direction, and yet the direction
32:40
Speaker 4: where I would want him to go is kind of
32:42
Speaker 4: eliminate some of this. Some of it bet on the games, fine,
32:46
Speaker 4: but the prop bets part of it I would, I
32:48
Speaker 4: would love for it to be gone, and yet I
32:49
Speaker 4: just don't think that they're ever going to do it.
32:51
Speaker 4: There's too much money to be well.
32:52
Speaker 2: If the Ortiz class A store is not the not
32:55
Speaker 2: the warning that players need. This is what can happen
32:58
Speaker 2: you sixty five years in prison. You lose your career
33:02
Speaker 2: in sixty five years in prison for a little extra
33:04
Speaker 2: spending cash when you're already a millionaire. Terry Rogier makes
33:07
Speaker 2: twenty seven million dollars a year.
33:09
Speaker 6: For goodness sake, you need to get so oh yeah,
33:11
Speaker 6: go ahead, yeah.
33:12
Speaker 2: So if that's the warning against the players, But I'm
33:16
Speaker 2: talking about why are these Why should you even have
33:20
Speaker 2: the ability to bet on a pitch that should not
33:24
Speaker 2: even be an option. I mean, the smaller of a
33:27
Speaker 2: bet that you make, the more ripe you are for
33:31
Speaker 2: corruption and nasty things to occur. So this is about
33:37
Speaker 2: the gambler. The gambler shouldn't have an opportunity to bet
33:40
Speaker 2: on whether or not the eleventh man on the Mavericks
33:44
Speaker 2: ends up with an assist or not that night. That
33:47
Speaker 2: garbage needs to go. Prop Bets are fine. Prop bets
33:50
Speaker 2: are fine, but we can't you can't be able to
33:53
Speaker 2: bet on anything for goodness sake, and if you want
33:55
Speaker 2: to do it, just bet with your buddy right next
33:57
Speaker 2: to you two hundred bucks he throws a curveball. Here
33:59
Speaker 2: on earth is this being made available to begin with.
34:03
Speaker 6: It's the more degenerate part of gambling, honestly, because you
34:06
Speaker 6: are at that point facilitating to the lowest common denominator. Right,
34:10
Speaker 6: You're saying that here you can bet on something that
34:12
Speaker 6: somebody can actually control. For example, in this place, class
34:17
Speaker 6: A can control what pitch he's gonna throw, you know,
34:19
Speaker 6: somebody can. Rosier can control if he's gonna go out
34:23
Speaker 6: of the game early. And those those types of things
34:26
Speaker 6: where a player can actually control that aspect should not
34:29
Speaker 6: be allowed to be bet on at all.
34:31
Speaker 2: Or you have to bet the over right, like on
34:34
Speaker 2: a Rogier assists he's got to go over the mark.
34:37
Speaker 6: But at that point he can't control all of it, right, yes, exactly, yeah, exactly.
34:41
Speaker 6: Now I'm great, I'm afraid, yeah yeah. And so I mean,
34:45
Speaker 6: this just doesn't go far enough.
34:46
Speaker 2: I really thought we were going to get some reasonable
34:49
Speaker 2: people meeting on this gambling, realizing that it needs sports
34:53
Speaker 2: and sports, realizing that gambling is just going to be
34:56
Speaker 2: a part of it. We're not never going to get
34:58
Speaker 2: rid of it. Let's work together, and let's figure out
35:01
Speaker 2: how we can do a better job of making it
35:03
Speaker 2: so tempting for people to throw games or throw moments
35:08
Speaker 2: in games. And this just isn't far enough. Take the
35:12
Speaker 2: ability to bet on a pitch completely out of the sport.
35:17
Speaker 2: If and there's no way that the daily prop people
35:20
Speaker 2: can't agree with that. I get that there's money to
35:24
Speaker 2: be made there, but if that person is such a
35:27
Speaker 2: degenerate that they're betting from pitch to pitch, they're gonna
35:30
Speaker 2: find something else to bet on. Yeah, that doesn't need
35:33
Speaker 2: to be such minutia, because the more minute you make it,
35:38
Speaker 2: the more you open it up to somebody thinking nobody
35:40
Speaker 2: will be able to detect this. Yeah, I'll just miss
35:43
Speaker 2: two fuel goals. I'll miss two free throws in a
35:46
Speaker 2: row on purpose because somebody bet that I'd make at
35:48
Speaker 2: least one of them. Yeah, in the moment, we can't
35:52
Speaker 2: do that. It needs to be gone, So go further,
35:55
Speaker 2: go further agreed, all right, Geene Sterotur Next Sports Radio
