- 1:10Speaker 4: called throughout the Heartland and beyond Chucking Buck in the
- 1:13Speaker 4: Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Great to
- 1:16Speaker 4: have you with us here on this Thursday morning. We
- 1:19Speaker 4: got four hours with too much to discuss. Once again,
- 1:23Speaker 4: I was really going to I had two really fun
- 1:25Speaker 4: segments set aside to do today. A couple of goofy
- 1:28Speaker 4: things got a little off the sports track a little
- 1:32Speaker 4: bit here today, but I don't think we can afford
- 1:36Speaker 4: to do it. There's just too much serious sports going
- 1:40Speaker 4: on out there.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Ain't nobody got time for that.
- 1:42Speaker 4: Ain't nobody got time for nothing these days.
- 1:44Speaker 1: That is the truth.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Welcome into the radio program. My name is Chuck Powell.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Ashley Ryan is here as well, and hopefully you're doing
- 1:52Speaker 4: all right with all of the rain that is falling
- 1:55Speaker 4: here today. It has cost us a team member for
- 1:59Speaker 4: today's show, as Bucky Jacobson is not going to be
- 2:02Speaker 4: with us on today's program obviously. Living by a river
- 2:08Speaker 4: out in North Bend with so much rain, he's got
- 2:11Speaker 4: things to take care of around the household, and so
- 2:15Speaker 4: we won't have Bucky today. And for his sake and
- 2:18Speaker 4: for everybody's sake out there, I think the I mean,
- 2:21Speaker 4: you're the meteorologist on this program. I think what what
- 2:25Speaker 4: it shows on my phone? And my phone isn't the
- 2:28Speaker 4: same brick that I used to have.
- 2:29Speaker 5: Yeah, it's mostly updated, I think, mostly much better.
- 2:33Speaker 4: We just got to get through pretty much the morning
- 2:36Speaker 4: into the afternoon, and then some of this and then
- 2:39Speaker 4: it's going to fade out.
- 2:41Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:41Speaker 5: We My flood watch got updated till Saturday. It was
- 2:44Speaker 5: supposed to be over Friday at four, it got updated
- 2:47Speaker 5: till Saturday at four.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Well, I think the flood waters we just got to
- 2:51Speaker 4: deal with them until they recess in terms of like
- 2:54Speaker 4: getting rain, getting more rain. I think you're right. It
- 2:59Speaker 4: was on my phone last night that it's done by
- 3:01Speaker 4: noon today. Yeah, and so from that point then we
- 3:04Speaker 4: can then the waters will recede and hopefully we can
- 3:07Speaker 4: return back to normal life. But I know, I know
- 3:10Speaker 4: how damaging all this has been on a lot of
- 3:14Speaker 4: people out there, including our own Bucky Jacobson, who's nothing's wrong,
- 3:19Speaker 4: nothing's wrong with him, but obviously he's got to protect
- 3:21Speaker 4: house and home and family here today and is in
- 3:25Speaker 4: one of those lower lying regions that also is right
- 3:29Speaker 4: via riverbank.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 3:31Speaker 5: Had he had to couldn't even drive his car up
- 3:32Speaker 5: to his house yesterday. Yeah, the water on the road.
- 3:35Speaker 5: So I hope that they're okay. I was a little
- 3:37Speaker 5: worried about them overnight because that water is right next
- 3:40Speaker 5: to their house.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And raging a little bit
- 3:44Speaker 4: and we've got more rain falling as we speak. If
- 3:46Speaker 4: you're just waking up, it's raining hard again this morning.
- 3:49Speaker 4: So obviously that's priority number one, story number one around here.
- 3:53Speaker 4: But we will distract you with four hours of sports
- 3:56Speaker 4: nonsense during today's radio show. And so it is great
- 4:00Speaker 4: to have you with us on the program, so Ashley
- 4:03Speaker 4: and myself, but all sorts of great guests going to
- 4:05Speaker 4: be joining us today and we'll map that out with
- 4:08Speaker 4: what's on tap here in a matter of moments. The
- 4:12Speaker 4: story we're leading with, and there are two options here,
- 4:15Speaker 4: I mean, Philip Rivers is still just so fascinating. I
- 4:18Speaker 4: could lead for a third straight day with Philip Rivers
- 4:21Speaker 4: and the Colts quarterback situation. We will talk about it
- 4:24Speaker 4: for the end of the hour and we're gonna spend
- 4:26Speaker 4: a lot of time on it during the four hours
- 4:28Speaker 4: we are together. But the Sharon Moore story suddenly becomes
- 4:32Speaker 4: a big topic, and believe it or not, yeah, it's
- 4:38Speaker 4: a big story, and it's sensational, and it's you know, clickworthy,
- 4:43Speaker 4: and it's refresh worthy to find out if there's any
- 4:47Speaker 4: more information. It's scandalous, it's you know, it's everything. And
- 4:52Speaker 4: if you haven't heard about it. I'll detail it for
- 4:55Speaker 4: you here in a second. But also this has turned
- 4:59Speaker 4: into about as big a local story as we're dealing
- 5:02Speaker 4: with as well.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Yeah right, when we just yeah, yeah, and the domino
- 5:09Speaker 5: effect of whoever takes the Michigan head coaching job now
- 5:13Speaker 5: and every single name being brought up has links to
- 5:18Speaker 5: the University.
- 5:19Speaker 4: Of Washington basically, yeah, And we'll get into an actual
- 5:24Speaker 4: discussion about it in a moment. But I woke up
- 5:27Speaker 4: this morning to the conversation about who's going to be
- 5:30Speaker 4: the next Michigan head coach and the only two names
- 5:33Speaker 4: that were discussed were Jetfish and Kaylin de Boor believe
- 5:38Speaker 4: it or not correct, And so that seems to be
- 5:41Speaker 4: where the media at least is focused on as who
- 5:45Speaker 4: might end up replacing Sharon Moore Ann Arbor. And then
- 5:49Speaker 4: I heard a third name on the drive in Chris Peterson.
- 5:53Speaker 5: Oh okay, no way, sorry, he didn't coming out of coaching.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Allow that he's not allowed to kind of coaching to
- 6:02Speaker 1: go to Michigan.
- 6:03Speaker 4: So we'll get into that aspect here in a moment,
- 6:06Speaker 4: because that's a really big deal and we'll be talking
- 6:09Speaker 4: about a lot today. And yet the story itself, just
- 6:13Speaker 4: to update you as much as we can, or maybe
- 6:16Speaker 4: inform you in case you did check out last night. Hey,
- 6:19Speaker 4: there's not much going on in the sports world. I'm
- 6:21Speaker 4: going to go pitch a tent in the backyard with
- 6:23Speaker 4: the kids. Maybe that's what you decided to do. And
- 6:25Speaker 4: now you're trying to come back and try to get
- 6:29Speaker 4: updated on your sports world. So yesterday, story breaks that
- 6:33Speaker 4: Sharon Moore has been fired with cause, and immediately you
- 6:39Speaker 4: start going to all right, what's happened? What scandal has
- 6:42Speaker 4: broken out? And it turns out it didn't take long
- 6:46Speaker 4: before we found out that he was fired because of
- 6:50Speaker 4: an inappropriate relationship with a female on the staff. Yes, now,
- 6:56Speaker 4: let that lead your brain wherever you want to take it.
- 7:00Speaker 4: They have identified who the female is, so her face
- 7:04Speaker 4: is out there, her name is out there, and then
- 7:07Speaker 4: there are all sorts of these rumors out there as well. Now,
- 7:11Speaker 4: before we get to the rumors, which is always a
- 7:14Speaker 4: dangerous area for a sports talk show host, the actual
- 7:18Speaker 4: information that we know is that Sharon Moore did not
- 7:21Speaker 4: take this well. He got home, his wife didn't take.
- 7:24Speaker 1: It well either, which is surprising.
- 7:26Speaker 4: They ended up in a domestic dispute, and then Sharon
- 7:30Speaker 4: Moore drove to another person's house, broke into the house
- 7:37Speaker 4: and committed aggravated assault and ended up being arrested. And
- 7:42Speaker 4: I don't know if he's been released from jail or not.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I have not heard that he has been released, but.
- 7:46Speaker 4: He was arrested, mugshot the whole nine yards And so
- 7:52Speaker 4: that's as much as we know. Noyes.
- 7:56Speaker 6: Now, what do we read into it? Kind of read
- 8:01Speaker 6: into it that whoever's house he broke into is maybe
- 8:05Speaker 6: the person that he blamed for leak in the story
- 8:08Speaker 6: to the university. Yeah, that's really great, classy of you
- 8:13Speaker 6: to commit this and then blame somebody else for actually
- 8:17Speaker 6: revealing how disgusting you've been.
- 8:18Speaker 3: Yep.
- 8:19Speaker 4: And yet so that's kind of what they believe it.
- 8:22Speaker 4: And it stems back to the wife finding out the
- 8:26Speaker 4: information and then kicking him out. And it sounds like
- 8:29Speaker 4: Sharon more than decided to go blame all of his
- 8:32Speaker 4: mess on the person that squealed on him. That's what
- 8:35Speaker 4: it sounds like.
- 8:35Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like.
- 8:36Speaker 5: And obviously, yes, there will get more information and we'll
- 8:39Speaker 5: be able to then have more facts versus our speculation
- 8:44Speaker 5: on what it does sure seem like it's pointed in
- 8:47Speaker 5: that direction. He is also a father of three daughters,
- 8:50Speaker 5: so their lives have been turned upside down. His wife's
- 8:53Speaker 5: life has been turned upside down, his wife his life
- 8:56Speaker 5: has been turned upside down by his own doing, and
- 8:59Speaker 5: the female staffer's life has been turned upside down.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just crazy. I mean, here you find
- 9:06Speaker 4: you reach the kind of the pinnacle of your career.
- 9:09Speaker 4: I can't imagine Sharon Moore ever thought he was gonna
- 9:12Speaker 4: have a better job than the head coach at the
- 9:14Speaker 4: University of Michigan. Yeah, and so here he gets it
- 9:18Speaker 4: and temptation leads him astray, and then his reaction to
- 9:23Speaker 4: this has pretty much flushed any opportunity that he'll ever
- 9:28Speaker 4: have to coach again. Not that that's the most important thing,
- 9:32Speaker 4: but we are a sports talk show host. We're not
- 9:34Speaker 4: doctor Drew here. So he's probably never gonna have the
- 9:38Speaker 4: opportunity to coach again. He's probably burned down his career
- 9:42Speaker 4: based off of his actions. Which, by the way, a
- 9:45Speaker 4: lot of coaches do stuff like that. A lot of
- 9:48Speaker 4: coaches do that stuff like that, maybe fewer now than
- 9:51Speaker 4: what they used to. Yeah, because of all the eyeballs
- 9:54Speaker 4: that are on them and social media and everybody's got
- 9:56Speaker 4: a cell phone. Now you probably see more less. You
- 9:59Speaker 4: see a lot less of that now than what it
- 10:01Speaker 4: used to be used to run rampant. And so this
- 10:06Speaker 4: is not unusual to Charon Moore that he would He's.
- 10:10Speaker 7: Not the first fall into this, Yeah, but the reaction
- 10:14Speaker 7: to it has probably burned his entire career down and
- 10:20Speaker 7: I'm not sure.
- 10:21Speaker 4: And then whatever he can do with his family life
- 10:23Speaker 4: to try to repair things. He's not gonna spend his
- 10:25Speaker 4: life in jail, I'll say that. But Sharon Moore has
- 10:27Speaker 4: certainly made his life worse with his actions prior to
- 10:32Speaker 4: yesterday and then his actions and then his immediate emotional
- 10:38Speaker 4: reaction to what he realizing how much damage he had
- 10:43Speaker 4: done to his life and to his career.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Yeah, and now yeah, he's going to be left to
- 10:48Speaker 5: pick up the pieces. And it's crazy when you think too,
- 10:50Speaker 5: just about his head coaching position and getting that job, right.
- 10:54Speaker 5: I mean, he got that job because Harbaugh was leaving
- 10:57Speaker 5: and the program was about to be in big trouble
- 11:00Speaker 5: for cheating, and they were like, well, yeah, we're gonna
- 11:04Speaker 5: just promote you because it made sense right, why not
- 11:06Speaker 5: keep someone that's in house versus who's going to want
- 11:09Speaker 5: to take this?
- 11:09Speaker 4: Well, I won a national championship. Yeah, and so like,
- 11:12Speaker 4: why would we pivot away from this? The kids like more,
- 11:16Speaker 4: he's got the respect of the clubhouse.
- 11:18Speaker 5: Blah blah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And but also they probably
- 11:20Speaker 5: were a little worried, like, who's you know, were we
- 11:23Speaker 5: might be in big trouble, so we our coaching candidates
- 11:25Speaker 5: might be less. So we've got this successful offensive coordinator
- 11:29Speaker 5: and he and the kids. Yeah, as you said, the
- 11:32Speaker 5: kids really like him, so let's do that. So he
- 11:34Speaker 5: ended up with this job that a lot of big
- 11:37Speaker 5: names are now being you know, talked about, and wor's
- 11:41Speaker 5: been at any time Harbaugh big name, I mean Michigan
- 11:43Speaker 5: a big program, and he he really had reached the top.
- 11:48Speaker 5: That's one of the top jobs in college football. With
- 11:51Speaker 5: our question and yeah, threw it all away. And Michigan
- 11:54Speaker 5: could have very.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Easily started a coaching search when the harrorball left and
- 11:56Speaker 4: ended up with a much better, bigger name and much
- 11:59Speaker 4: more proven track record, but they wanted to reward Jim
- 12:04Speaker 4: Harbaugh's choice for successor, and things were going so well
- 12:08Speaker 4: for the program despite the scandal. They were winning despite
- 12:11Speaker 4: the scandal, and so he got the position, and now
- 12:15Speaker 4: Michigan gets to conduct its search for a coach. And
- 12:22Speaker 4: as I mentioned, this is where it becomes local because
- 12:26Speaker 4: all the names that are being brought up have ties
- 12:29Speaker 4: to Washington. Now I've heard Mentor the defensive coordinator, But
- 12:34Speaker 4: it sounds like Michigan wants to finally separate itself from
- 12:38Speaker 4: the Harball regime. The previous scandal with stallions and now
- 12:42Speaker 4: the current scandal with.
- 12:44Speaker 1: More probably makes sense.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know you're going to use your muscle
- 12:48Speaker 4: as a big name and a big brand to know,
- 12:51Speaker 4: go out there and cause all sorts of more ripples
- 12:54Speaker 4: to the college world because you know that when they
- 12:56Speaker 4: find their person, there's going to be a domino effect
- 12:59Speaker 4: because probably going to steal them from another program, and
- 13:02Speaker 4: then that guy's got to red replaced, and so here
- 13:04Speaker 4: we go again. Yep, this is Lane Kiffin all over again.
- 13:08Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, if I were Michigan, why
- 13:10Speaker 4: not call Lane Kiffin that Hoe will take the next
- 13:13Speaker 4: best job. Why not?
- 13:15Speaker 1: Yeah him a little bit more?
- 13:17Speaker 4: He hasn't. I mean, he he had a lot more
- 13:19Speaker 4: invested in Old miss than he does LSU and he
- 13:21Speaker 4: left them at the altar right before the playoffs. That
- 13:24Speaker 4: guy doesn't have a spine. He'll just go to the
- 13:26Speaker 4: highest bidder. I mean we know that. And so so
- 13:30Speaker 4: now they start their coaching search. But the names that
- 13:32Speaker 4: are coming up, and again I would just say if
- 13:37Speaker 4: if there's no interest on Jedfish's part, it's unfortunate that
- 13:42Speaker 4: his nomadic coaching lifestyle has led him to be brought
- 13:47Speaker 4: up his name to get dragged into every coaching roomer.
- 13:51Speaker 1: But this is Michigan and he's been there before.
- 13:54Speaker 4: And if this is something that's on his checklist, I mean,
- 13:57Speaker 4: here we go again, and he is oldest, over and
- 14:00Speaker 4: over and over. He laughed it off when Softy had
- 14:03Speaker 4: him on the show on the station a week ago.
- 14:06Speaker 4: You will coach at Washington next year? Yes, I will
- 14:11Speaker 4: be at Washington next year. I mean that we could
- 14:14Speaker 4: play the clip for you. That was the response from him,
- 14:17Speaker 4: laughing and off we last before he knew that Michigan's
- 14:20Speaker 4: job was going to be open, and so sure enough
- 14:24Speaker 4: there's his name front and center along with Kaylen de
- 14:27Speaker 4: Boor and the craziest twist of events because remember before
- 14:32Speaker 4: Kaylen de bor left here Michigan was his dream job, yeah,
- 14:36Speaker 4: not Alabama. Michigan was the one job that people had circled.
- 14:40Speaker 4: And I think that he had said in the past
- 14:42Speaker 4: as the only job that he would leave Washington.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was closer to where he was from.
- 14:47Speaker 4: And so now here are both of them, and the
- 14:51Speaker 4: strangest twist of P and W fate, both of them
- 14:55Speaker 4: are the most prominent names being linked to being the
- 14:58Speaker 4: next head coach at Michigan. So here we go again.
- 15:02Speaker 4: And as I said, Ashley, I mean, on one hand,
- 15:05Speaker 4: I do feel bad if you just if you truly
- 15:09Speaker 4: keep getting linked to these jobs because of how much
- 15:12Speaker 4: you've moved around and you're not at all interested, but
- 15:16Speaker 4: you just keep getting dragged back in. But on the
- 15:19Speaker 4: other hand, you've kind of earned this. We did or
- 15:23Speaker 4: Troy Danon did. Hire somebody with this reputation. And the
- 15:27Speaker 4: way that the college football world right now is set up.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I mean these coaches, man, these college coaches, they are
- 15:36Speaker 4: soulless man. I mean, if there is a little bit
- 15:39Speaker 4: of a better opportunity with a little bit more money,
- 15:42Speaker 4: they can't wait to be treated like a king again
- 15:45Speaker 4: at the new place, because you know there are a
- 15:47Speaker 4: lot of kids that moved around when they were young,
- 15:50Speaker 4: and it was tough being the new kid at school.
- 15:52Speaker 4: Unless you were really handsome or really pretty and really
- 15:57Speaker 4: like a good.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Athlete and a little end outgoing, then.
- 16:00Speaker 4: You're the greatest thing ever, Like Elvis moved to your school. Yeah,
- 16:03Speaker 4: I know, and all the other boys sat around like,
- 16:05Speaker 4: what's so crude about this guy?
- 16:07Speaker 3: You know?
- 16:09Speaker 4: That's how I think these coaches. I think they get
- 16:11Speaker 4: addicted to feeling that way. Yeah, and so and so
- 16:15Speaker 4: here we go again. They're brought back up again. And
- 16:20Speaker 4: whether or not it's true whether Kaylin de Boor would
- 16:23Speaker 4: come on here and say, no, no, no, I have no
- 16:25Speaker 4: interest in that job, and it's ridiculous that I'm being
- 16:27Speaker 4: dragged in. He's being dragged in, and so is Jedfish
- 16:30Speaker 4: once again. So here we go, waiting out whether or
- 16:33Speaker 4: not we're going to have to start a coaching search
- 16:35Speaker 4: here in a month or.
- 16:36Speaker 1: So, I know, which is it?
- 16:37Speaker 5: We got Yeah, and you've got the transfer portal opening
- 16:39Speaker 5: in less than a month.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Yeah, what two and a half weeks, three weeks, three
- 16:43Speaker 1: weeks from now?
- 16:44Speaker 5: It's I understand why Jedfish is getting brought up, you know,
- 16:50Speaker 5: with Florida and the connection and the Steve Spurrier thing
- 16:52Speaker 5: and the all of that, and now with Michigan, and
- 16:54Speaker 5: he's been an assistant there, and I understand, but it
- 16:57Speaker 5: is frustrating as a call football fan to think like, Okay,
- 17:01Speaker 5: well we made it through.
- 17:02Speaker 1: These things, now all of a sudden things.
- 17:04Speaker 5: I mean, I kind of said to myself as I
- 17:06Speaker 5: was listening to one of the shows before us on
- 17:08Speaker 5: our way in and they had a guy on from Detroit.
- 17:11Speaker 5: He brought up Kaylen de Bor and Jed Fish and
- 17:13Speaker 5: he's like, those are the two options that makes the
- 17:15Speaker 5: most sense. Kaylan de Bor is not a good fit
- 17:17Speaker 5: at Alabama. It makes more sense for him to return
- 17:20Speaker 5: to the Midwest. And then he said, and Jedfish, he
- 17:23Speaker 5: can raid the Washington program and head over there.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:26Speaker 5: I got so mad because that's what would happen again.
- 17:30Speaker 5: And all I said, I said, Yeah, I said to myself,
- 17:33Speaker 5: I'm so over college football.
- 17:35Speaker 1: If this is what keeps happening.
- 17:37Speaker 4: Yeah, Demon Williams is we have to start a quarterback
- 17:40Speaker 4: search if this happened.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:43Speaker 5: And again, this isn't anything that Jedfish has done has
- 17:46Speaker 5: said yes, right, this is just speculation on the media.
- 17:49Speaker 1: So I'm not saying like, oh my.
- 17:50Speaker 5: Gosh, I hate Jed Fisher, I hate this. It's just
- 17:53Speaker 5: this ongoing speculation. And then if that does happen. Yeah,
- 17:57Speaker 5: every year one program, five programs, however, many coaches are
- 18:02Speaker 5: leaving are getting screwed.
- 18:05Speaker 1: I mean, it's just annoying.
- 18:07Speaker 4: And as much as we didn't like what the players
- 18:11Speaker 4: and the power that they got, it's the coaches are
- 18:13Speaker 4: the ones to blame for all of this. They're supposed
- 18:16Speaker 4: to be the adults in the room. We need to
- 18:17Speaker 4: slap rules on them. We're always trying to slap rules
- 18:20Speaker 4: on player movement. Let's slap my rules on coaches movements
- 18:23Speaker 4: so that we don't have to go through this. And
- 18:26Speaker 4: yet this is where this is where we're at. And
- 18:29Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't find out later
- 18:31Speaker 4: today the Jetfish is the head coach in Michigan. Wouldn't
- 18:33Speaker 4: be surprised. I'm not predicting that. I don't have any information.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Nothing surprises me these days.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Nothing surprises you. Ye hell, I wouldn't be surprised. I
- 18:41Speaker 4: was joking about it. Lane Kiffin became the next head
- 18:43Speaker 4: coach and.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Be surprised Kaylin de Boor will be surprised.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Leaves Alabama to go take Michigan. I mean, all of
- 18:49Speaker 4: these things are possibilities, and then the ripple effect is
- 18:52Speaker 4: going to be felt. And then what will Washington do
- 18:54Speaker 4: if it does happen. They'll go steal somebody from somebody else,
- 18:57Speaker 4: and then that person will raid their own program and
- 19:00Speaker 4: bring all of them to Washington, and we started all
- 19:02Speaker 4: over again. So yeah, it's it's a messy landscape, there's
- 19:06Speaker 4: no question about it. And boy, we sure had fun
- 19:09Speaker 4: ripping the players for taking advantage of their newfound power.
- 19:13Speaker 4: I think we need to really take a look at
- 19:15Speaker 4: how coaches can move around so easily. Yea, and without
- 19:19Speaker 4: any punishment. I think that that could be. It won't be,
- 19:23Speaker 4: but it should be the next step. And trying to
- 19:25Speaker 4: make sense now of this a great game of college football.
- 19:28Speaker 4: All right, So there's a lot more to discuss. We'll
- 19:31Speaker 4: get to it later on in the show. Let's find
- 19:32Speaker 4: out what else was on tap?
- 19:36Speaker 1: What's on tip?
- 19:38Speaker 3: What's on tep?
- 19:39Speaker 4: All right, So Sharon Moore is out at Michigan amid scandal,
- 19:44Speaker 4: and of course more jetfish rumors have popped up about
- 19:47Speaker 4: him possibly leaving Washington, and they are just rumors. There's
- 19:50Speaker 4: nobody that has any factual information on that front. In
- 19:54Speaker 4: the meantime, I guess Jedfish is getting ready to coach
- 19:57Speaker 4: the LA Bowl which is coming up. Also coming up
- 20:00Speaker 4: Army Navy this Saturday, and the Heisman Trophy will be
- 20:04Speaker 4: announced this Saturday. And they're sure is a groundswell of
- 20:08Speaker 4: Diego Pavia support. It feels like every analyst that I'm
- 20:13Speaker 4: hearing get interviewed is picking Pavia. Now. Whether or not
- 20:16Speaker 4: the nine hundred and fifty voters are influenced the same way,
- 20:20Speaker 4: I'm not sure. But this might not be the slam
- 20:23Speaker 4: dunk that we thought it was the night that Indiana
- 20:26Speaker 4: was holding up the Big Ten Championship trophy. We thought
- 20:30Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoza had locked it up. But that might not
- 20:32Speaker 4: be the case. Seahawks getting ready for the Colts this
- 20:35Speaker 4: Sunday at one twenty five. And yes, not only might
- 20:39Speaker 4: Philip Rivers, forty four year old Philip Rivers be in uniform,
- 20:44Speaker 4: most people believe. Most people believe right now that he's
- 20:48Speaker 4: going to start the game Sunday against the Seahawks. And
- 20:51Speaker 4: we'll talk about that in our next segment. Week number
- 20:54Speaker 4: fifteen of the National Football League season starts tonight with
- 20:57Speaker 4: Atlanta against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay getting a couple weapons back.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Mike Evans is going to be back for them, so
- 21:03Speaker 4: is former UW receiver Jalen McMillan, and so Tampa Bay
- 21:07Speaker 4: and Atlanta, and of course, fantasy football playoffs start for
- 21:11Speaker 4: a lot of people tonight, so I would imagine there's
- 21:13Speaker 4: going to be a pretty good audience for that alone. Kraken,
- 21:16Speaker 4: we'll talk about this later this hour. Boy did they
- 21:18Speaker 4: need that win three to two and overtime over the
- 21:21Speaker 4: Los Angeles Kings, a late goal in regulation to tie it,
- 21:25Speaker 4: an overtime goal on a power play four on three
- 21:28Speaker 4: power play from Vince Dunn. It was a thing of
- 21:30Speaker 4: beauty and the Kraken get a much needed win last
- 21:34Speaker 4: night against the Kings. And the Major League Baseball Winner
- 21:37Speaker 4: meetings did conclude yesterday not a lot of activity, pretty
- 21:41Speaker 4: much zero trade activity, and yet three big free agent
- 21:45Speaker 4: signings while the GMS were down in Orlando. Yesterday's was
- 21:49Speaker 4: Pete Alonso signing way too large of a contract with
- 21:52Speaker 4: the desperate Baltimore Orioles, who decided we're finally going to
- 21:56Speaker 4: spend money this year and then they overspent. I don't
- 22:00Speaker 4: think Pete Alonso's worth thirty one million dollars a year,
- 22:03Speaker 4: but he is a Baltimore oriole right now. We'll talk
- 22:06Speaker 4: a little bit about that later on in the show.
- 22:08Speaker 4: But coming up next, is Philip Rivers really going to
- 22:11Speaker 4: get the start Sunday against Mike McDonald's defense. I can
- 22:14Speaker 4: hardly believe I'm saying it. We'll discuss it. It's Chuck
- 22:17Speaker 4: and Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I don't know if you keep track of these things.
- 22:32Speaker 4: I don't know if you set your watch like your
- 22:35Speaker 4: morning routine around us in any fashion. So maybe I
- 22:39Speaker 4: don't have to tell you this, but we have blown
- 22:42Speaker 4: up the clock a little bit this hour to accommodate
- 22:45Speaker 4: the schedule of Kurt Warner so we could have them
- 22:47Speaker 4: on to talk about Philip Rivers. So he's gonna join
- 22:50Speaker 4: us at seven forty this morning. We got the roundtable
- 22:52Speaker 4: coming up at eight o'clock, and so we've got this
- 22:55Speaker 4: segment Ashley to talk about a few really interesting stories
- 22:59Speaker 4: on a interesting sports day from the National Football League,
- 23:04Speaker 4: and also to have a little bit of fun. Let's
- 23:06Speaker 4: play a little bit of a game here. Okay, let's
- 23:09Speaker 4: play the old man game. Oh all right, seems to
- 23:14Speaker 4: be a topic going around in the National Football League
- 23:18Speaker 4: right now, age and whatnot. So let's play a little
- 23:22Speaker 4: bit of the old man game old analytics if you will, okay, perfect,
- 23:29Speaker 4: I can't wait. All right, Let's start Philip Rivers. Is
- 23:33Speaker 4: there a better chance Philip Rivers leads the Colts to
- 23:37Speaker 4: a wins Sunday against the Seahawks or that he breaks
- 23:42Speaker 4: a hip crossing the street going into the stadiums.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Second one second one breaks the hip? For sure?
- 23:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, And I don't mean that because
- 23:52Speaker 5: I just mean it because he has I don't think
- 23:53Speaker 5: he has any chance to beat the Seahawks exactly.
- 23:55Speaker 4: That's a precisely I mean. I don't think he's going
- 24:00Speaker 4: to break his hip. He's forty four years old, for
- 24:02Speaker 4: goodness sake. I don't think I'm going to break my
- 24:03Speaker 4: I'm ten years older than Philip Rivers. I don't think
- 24:06Speaker 4: that he's going to break his hip. But I think
- 24:08Speaker 4: he's got a better chance of breaking his hip walking
- 24:10Speaker 4: across the street than he does being activated and beat.
- 24:13Speaker 4: Mike McDonald and the Seahawks defense five years removed from
- 24:16Speaker 4: the National Football League.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, just think about what happened to Max Brozmer,
- 24:20Speaker 5: and he's young and nimble and then.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Has been practicing, has been practicing with the team.
- 24:26Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I just can't see him laugh.
- 24:30Speaker 1: I can't.
- 24:31Speaker 4: I mean, it's a great story. And I really thought
- 24:33Speaker 4: when they signed him, the idea was we're in the
- 24:35Speaker 4: playoff race. Can we get him up to speed in time?
- 24:39Speaker 4: Can we not get eliminated with Bret ripping at quarterback
- 24:42Speaker 4: or Riley Leonard hobbled at quarterback? Can we just win
- 24:46Speaker 4: one of the two somehow squeeze it out and then
- 24:49Speaker 4: maybe get Rivers up to speed for the last couple
- 24:51Speaker 4: of weeks of the year and we might have a
- 24:53Speaker 4: better option with him. But to thrust him right into
- 24:57Speaker 4: this game against this defense, Yeah, it seems he's all
- 25:01Speaker 4: for it, and it's a great story no matter what happens.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Yes, and again I wish it wasn't happening against us
- 25:06Speaker 5: because I'd be cheering for him.
- 25:07Speaker 1: But right now I'm cheering for him to get smushed
- 25:09Speaker 1: into the ground.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Maybe maybe we're crazy. I see zero chance that Philip
- 25:15Speaker 4: Rivers I'm not saying the Colts have zero chance of
- 25:18Speaker 4: winning this weekend, but zero chance that Philip Rivers starts
- 25:21Speaker 4: and is ready to beat any team in the National
- 25:23Speaker 4: Football League, much less the Seahawks and their defense. Yeah,
- 25:27Speaker 4: all right, next, one better chance that Pete Carroll is
- 25:31Speaker 4: back next season for the Raiders, or that he accidentally
- 25:35Speaker 4: craps himself on the sidelines before the season comes to
- 25:39Speaker 4: a close.
- 25:39Speaker 5: It does get very excited sometimes, the old man game. Yeah,
- 25:43Speaker 5: it is the old man game, more about more.
- 25:44Speaker 4: About being old, more of an old joke.
- 25:47Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I'm gonna say, There's probably a
- 25:49Speaker 5: better chance he craps himself because I just don't think
- 25:52Speaker 5: they're bringing him back again.
- 25:55Speaker 4: We are step for step on this. Even though I
- 25:59Speaker 4: think Pete Carroll is very youthful and is not a
- 26:01Speaker 4: risk to do that at any moment, I still think
- 26:05Speaker 4: there's a better chance he does that before the season
- 26:08Speaker 4: comes to a close, probably in a crisp pair of
- 26:11Speaker 4: white pants. Then it would be that he returns to
- 26:15Speaker 4: the Raiders next season. I mean, think about it. They
- 26:18Speaker 4: brought him in there because they thought they were close, Yes,
- 26:22Speaker 4: maybe not Super Bowl close.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Also is a little delusional on their part.
- 26:26Speaker 4: But you don't bring in a seventy five year old
- 26:29Speaker 4: head coach if you're rebuilding. Okay, they brought him in
- 26:34Speaker 4: because they felt with what they have in house, they
- 26:38Speaker 4: should be a player or two and a little bit
- 26:42Speaker 4: of veteran wisdom away from being a playoff contender. They
- 26:48Speaker 4: have the number one pick in the draft right now,
- 26:51Speaker 4: so they if nothing else learned this season, we have
- 26:54Speaker 4: to rebuild. We don't have a choice. We thought we
- 26:57Speaker 4: were closer than we actually are. We're the worst team
- 26:59Speaker 4: in the National Football League. We can't rebuild around a
- 27:04Speaker 4: seventy five year old head coach.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:06Speaker 5: I feel like they'd talk to anybody. A lot of
- 27:08Speaker 5: people could have told them that you're really bad. This
- 27:12Speaker 5: isn't probably the route to go.
- 27:14Speaker 4: And I get why Pete took it and brings his enthusiasm.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Is like, yeah, I love coaching. This might be my
- 27:19Speaker 4: last chance. And sadly, I think that was your last chance.
- 27:22Speaker 4: So I certainly don't blame him for taking the job.
- 27:24Speaker 4: I think it was kind of foolish that the Raiders
- 27:26Speaker 4: thought they were that close.
- 27:28Speaker 1: That's the foolish part profession and I.
- 27:30Speaker 4: Didn't think they were that far away. I really didn't.
- 27:32Speaker 4: I didn't think Geno Smith was that bad. Geno Smith's
- 27:35Speaker 4: been the worst quarterback starting quarterback in the NFL this year.
- 27:39Speaker 4: It's not even close.
- 27:41Speaker 8: He has been terrible. He has been terrible, even worse
- 27:45Speaker 8: than when Russell gets in the game. Well, maybe not
- 27:47Speaker 8: that all right, Next one, Travis Kelsey. Better chance, Travis Kelsey,
- 27:54Speaker 8: who can't figure out why he's not playing better might
- 27:59Speaker 8: be because you're in the old man game. Better chance
- 28:02Speaker 8: Travis Kelsey reverts to.
- 28:04Speaker 1: His pro both Pro Bowl form.
- 28:09Speaker 4: Before the seasons comes to a close, or that Taylor
- 28:12Speaker 4: talks him into getting a metal alert bracelet just.
- 28:15Speaker 1: In case met alert bracelet. And I think his old
- 28:18Speaker 1: form is lung gone. I mean, did you see him.
- 28:21Speaker 4: He seems to think he can find it again. He
- 28:23Speaker 4: just can't figure it out. Where did it go?
- 28:25Speaker 5: That third interception on Mahomes was not on Mahomes, that
- 28:28Speaker 5: was all Kelsey.
- 28:29Speaker 1: I mean, as he's like, well, what's the football?
- 28:32Speaker 4: I think he's still a good player. I think the
- 28:38Speaker 4: Chiefs problem is that they're still acting as if he's
- 28:43Speaker 4: still old. Travis Kelcey, Yeah, I mean, I don't think
- 28:47Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes is worse than what he's been in the past.
- 28:52Speaker 4: But Patrick Mahomes does not have one hundred and thirty
- 28:57Speaker 4: catch fifteen hundred yards from a tight end, yeah, fifteen
- 29:01Speaker 4: touchdown Travis Kelcey anymore. Travis Kelcey was so good and
- 29:06Speaker 4: so effective in his role that, yes, he did make
- 29:10Speaker 4: everybody else better. Think about how much attention you had
- 29:12Speaker 4: to pay Travis Kelcey and he still ended up killing you.
- 29:16Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs are declining because they're still acting
- 29:20Speaker 4: like they still have old Travis Kelcey. They now no
- 29:24Speaker 4: longer have Tyreek Hill or Travis yr This is like
- 29:29Speaker 4: Trevor Kelcey. This is like somebody else.
- 29:31Speaker 1: He's not bad, he's that third Kelsey brother you didn't know.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's just not what you had. Yeah, And
- 29:38Speaker 4: the offense seems to they've never had a good running game.
- 29:42Speaker 4: And yet they've also had seasons in which, after Tyreek
- 29:46Speaker 4: Hill left, will find receiver. But that's because you had
- 29:49Speaker 4: this tight end who did things no weather tight end
- 29:52Speaker 4: could do.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Yeah, and now he's not that guy anymore. He's just
- 29:55Speaker 1: a guy now, Yeah, just a normal tight end. Uh huh, yeah, smart, Yeah.
- 30:00Speaker 4: But he's not impactful. And I think the Chiefs have
- 30:03Speaker 4: still under the delusion, well we got Travis Kelcey, we
- 30:07Speaker 4: don't need this. Yeah, that to me has been their
- 30:10Speaker 4: biggest problem. Final one, Uh and the old Man game.
- 30:13Speaker 4: I can't wait Joe Burrow retires from football prematurely or
- 30:19Speaker 4: can't figure out how to reset the microwave clock after
- 30:22Speaker 4: a power outage. What do you think is more likely?
- 30:24Speaker 4: I think it's had some concussion. Yeah, I might not
- 30:27Speaker 4: be aged.
- 30:27Speaker 5: I do think it's more likely that he retires from
- 30:29Speaker 5: football early. After what he's been talking about. It seems
- 30:32Speaker 5: like he's kind of taking that Andrew luckroute of maybe
- 30:36Speaker 5: maybe I want to value the rest of my life.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I've got all this money. I want to spend it
- 30:39Speaker 1: and enjoy my life.
- 30:40Speaker 5: I don't need to make more, and I don't need
- 30:41Speaker 5: to get injured and spend my whole life rehabbing.
- 30:44Speaker 4: We are in step on every single one of this.
- 30:46Speaker 4: He sounds like somebody that's like contemplating leaving, not trying
- 30:50Speaker 4: to get to another team. No, like I don't need
- 30:53Speaker 4: to do this anymore. Yeah, tired of getting beat up
- 30:55Speaker 4: and I don't want to play the game another way.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:58Speaker 5: I heard a stat this morning that he's been hit
- 31:00Speaker 5: more than any other quarterback in his career. Like for
- 31:03Speaker 5: his career, including the playoffs, he has been hit more
- 31:06Speaker 5: than any other quarterback in the NFL.
- 31:07Speaker 4: Yeah, and part of that is his fault. I mean, dude,
- 31:12Speaker 4: Tom Brady didn't play the game that way trying to
- 31:14Speaker 4: prove to everybody that he was more masculine and physical
- 31:17Speaker 4: than everybody else. He was tough, yeah, tough as nails,
- 31:21Speaker 4: but he didn't go out there every Sunday trying to
- 31:23Speaker 4: prove he was tougher and stronger than a linebacker and
- 31:26Speaker 4: Burrow does. It's his own stupidity that has cost him
- 31:29Speaker 4: all the injuries that he's gone through. Partly he's had
- 31:33Speaker 4: a bad offensive line too, but you know, he's got
- 31:36Speaker 4: to be smarter. And so I think a lot of it,
- 31:39Speaker 4: not all of it, A lot of it rests on
- 31:41Speaker 4: his own shoulders why he's had so many injuries. But
- 31:45Speaker 4: he does not sound like somebody that enjoys the game anymore.
- 31:48Speaker 1: No, definitely not.
- 31:49Speaker 4: And I wouldn't be surprised at all if this offseason
- 31:51Speaker 4: he didn't step away from it all.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Right.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Coming up next, Kurt Warner's going to join us here
- 31:55Speaker 4: on the program, talk about Philip Rivers, Sam Darnold and more.
- 31:58Speaker 4: It's Sports Radio ninety three point three. Kh arfm Hey,
- 32:14Speaker 4: good morning, Happy Thursday to you. Yeah, messed around with
- 32:18Speaker 4: the clock a little bit here this morning, and I
- 32:20Speaker 4: don't know if you need to know that, but just
- 32:22Speaker 4: in case it's throwing you off a little bit, I
- 32:24Speaker 4: wanted to let you know because we want to be
- 32:26Speaker 4: able to have as much time as possible to chat
- 32:28Speaker 4: with our next guest. Kurt Warner is going to be
- 32:29Speaker 4: joining us here in a moment, the former quarterback, not
- 32:32Speaker 4: the former Sea Offs running back. This is the only
- 32:35Speaker 4: city where we have to clarify that in all of America.
- 32:37Speaker 4: I think twelve man Roundtable's coming your way from eight
- 32:40Speaker 4: to nine. So Greg Bell, Hugh Millan cannot wait to
- 32:43Speaker 4: get huge thoughts. Not that I don't want to hear
- 32:45Speaker 4: Greg's thoughts on Philip Rivers, but I've already heard them
- 32:48Speaker 4: this week. Haven't heard the QB one's thoughts on this
- 32:51Speaker 4: Philip Rivers story all week long, and so looking forward
- 32:55Speaker 4: to that coming up at eight o'clock. And the same
- 32:58Speaker 4: thing goes for our next joining us now on the program.
- 33:02Speaker 4: You know him from NFL Network. You know him from
- 33:05Speaker 4: the Monday night broadcast. Right here on k JR. Does
- 33:09Speaker 4: the color analyst for Monday Night football for west Wood One.
- 33:12Speaker 4: But you know him better as Hall of Fame quarterback
- 33:14Speaker 4: of the Rams and Cardinals. He joins us now here
- 33:18Speaker 4: on Chuck and Buck. Kurt Warner is with us. Good morning, sir,
- 33:21Speaker 4: Good morning, how are you hey? Thank you very much
- 33:24Speaker 4: for being with us. I got to know, did the
- 33:26Speaker 4: Colts call you?
- 33:29Speaker 3: The Colts did not call me. No, I'm a little
- 33:32Speaker 3: too old for that call.
- 33:34Speaker 4: I don't know, Philip Rivers, I mean, five years away
- 33:38Speaker 4: from the game, tell me, I mean, is this even
- 33:41Speaker 4: possible to be this? I'm not worried as much about
- 33:44Speaker 4: forty four years old, Kurt. I'm worried about for him.
- 33:47Speaker 4: I mean not from a Seahawks perspective, because it's probably
- 33:50Speaker 4: gonna benefit us. But can somebody at that quarterback position
- 33:54Speaker 4: be away from this game five years and in two
- 33:58Speaker 4: days get ready two days of practice, get ready for
- 34:01Speaker 4: a National Football League game?
- 34:04Speaker 3: I mean, I can't answer that because I've never been there,
- 34:08Speaker 3: and I don't know who who has, you know, I mean,
- 34:12Speaker 3: it's it obviously sounds crazy, you know, I do remember,
- 34:17Speaker 3: you know a number of years after I retired. But
- 34:20Speaker 3: the Cardinals here, we're having some issues with the quarterbacks
- 34:22Speaker 3: and some injuries, and you know, their speculation and maybe
- 34:26Speaker 3: they should call Kurt. I remember going out in the
- 34:27Speaker 3: backyard and throwing the football around a little bit like
- 34:30Speaker 3: an if they call, you know, you know, will I
- 34:33Speaker 3: entertain it and all of those things. So, you know,
- 34:36Speaker 3: I kind of remember back to a few years after
- 34:38Speaker 3: being out of the league, and you know, my biggest
- 34:42Speaker 3: issue wasn't the physical part of it in terms of
- 34:46Speaker 3: you know, throwing a football or or being in shape.
- 34:50Speaker 3: My biggest worry and concern was the mental aspect of
- 34:56Speaker 3: you know, being able to get up to speed. So
- 35:00Speaker 3: you know, A, I could have success. B I could
- 35:02Speaker 3: protect myself from that standpoint. You know that that you know,
- 35:08Speaker 3: being out of the game for five years and understanding
- 35:11Speaker 3: you know, the athletes in the game and what it
- 35:13Speaker 3: takes to play at that level. You know, I mean,
- 35:18Speaker 3: to me, it would be an incredible feed for him
- 35:21Speaker 3: to come back after a week and get out there
- 35:23Speaker 3: and and perform extremely well. I mean probably even to
- 35:28Speaker 3: you know, to perform at an average level after that
- 35:32Speaker 3: would be pretty incredible Because I respect the game so much,
- 35:38Speaker 3: you know that even when I was considered it, you know,
- 35:40Speaker 3: it was like, man, there was nothing in my mind
- 35:43Speaker 3: that said, oh, I can step back on that field
- 35:46Speaker 3: and in the short term be the same player I was,
- 35:49Speaker 3: you know years ago. I just respect the game and
- 35:52Speaker 3: what it is, and you know what it takes to
- 35:54Speaker 3: be great at this level. I respected it too much
- 35:57Speaker 3: to think that I could be rate you know quickly.
- 36:02Speaker 3: You know that I think I could get up to
- 36:03Speaker 3: speed and get back there. Well yeah, I mean I
- 36:06Speaker 3: think all of us competitors think that. But that's kind
- 36:10Speaker 3: of what I look at here is, man. You know,
- 36:13Speaker 3: I respect Philip for giving it a shot, and you know,
- 36:16Speaker 3: for them to you know, try to uncover everything to
- 36:18Speaker 3: have success. And I think like most of us were intrigued,
- 36:22Speaker 3: We're excited, were interested. We just wanted to end at
- 36:26Speaker 3: least fairly well, you know, like that's my biggest thing
- 36:30Speaker 3: is I just don't want this to be a bad thing,
- 36:32Speaker 3: you know. And you know I should say another thing
- 36:35Speaker 3: that I was concerned about, you know when when I
- 36:38Speaker 3: was even just considering it, and the Cardinals never called it,
- 36:40Speaker 3: so it was never anything like like this with Philip.
- 36:43Speaker 3: But the other thing was just you know, the reaction
- 36:47Speaker 3: of your body to things that you haven't done. Like
- 36:50Speaker 3: I didn't want to be a guy that went back
- 36:52Speaker 3: out there and like you know, pull the hamstring or
- 36:55Speaker 3: pulled the muscle or or or hurt something, you know,
- 36:58Speaker 3: in the first ten plays of my first hit, because
- 37:01Speaker 3: my body wasn't ready you know, for a quick movement
- 37:04Speaker 3: or to take a hit or whatever that was. And
- 37:07Speaker 3: so that was another concern of mine. And so I
- 37:09Speaker 3: think that's the big concern for me, you know, as
- 37:12Speaker 3: he goes out there, I don't want it to be
- 37:14Speaker 3: you know, so anticlimacting and he comes back and he
- 37:17Speaker 3: gets hurt, and you know, it may be what we
- 37:20Speaker 3: all expect. And I don't want him to go out
- 37:21Speaker 3: there and just get beat up because he's just not
- 37:25Speaker 3: mentally able to you know, to handle the speed and
- 37:28Speaker 3: everything that's coming at him and the new offensive and
- 37:30Speaker 3: all of that stuff. And so I think there are
- 37:33Speaker 3: some distinct challenges, without a doubt, and you have to
- 37:37Speaker 3: respect the game enough to to just say, you know,
- 37:40Speaker 3: I think it will be hard, you know, for for
- 37:43Speaker 3: anybody to come back and have you know, a level
- 37:46Speaker 3: of success in such a short period of.
- 37:48Speaker 4: Time from a personal experience, and I cannot relate to
- 37:52Speaker 4: what it's like to be in NFL quarterback. But there
- 37:54Speaker 4: was a time where and I know you're probably picturing
- 37:57Speaker 4: radio guy, just a dull boy, but there was a
- 38:00Speaker 4: time I was a pretty good shape individual and thought
- 38:03Speaker 4: that you know, you know, uh, thought I was incredibly fit,
- 38:08Speaker 4: and I decided to go out and play some flag football,
- 38:11Speaker 4: which I hadn't done in a while, and I, you know,
- 38:14Speaker 4: and I did well. But the next morning I could
- 38:16Speaker 4: hardly move because I was using muscles that I hadn't used,
- 38:20Speaker 4: even though I was going to the gym and I
- 38:22Speaker 4: was cardio work and weightlifting and everything else and felt
- 38:26Speaker 4: like I was in peak physical condition, I hadn't used
- 38:29Speaker 4: those muscles. So that was one of the things I
- 38:31Speaker 4: was wanting to ask you about, because it's something we
- 38:33Speaker 4: haven't talked that much about. I mean, just taking a
- 38:36Speaker 4: hit from an NFL player when you haven't done it
- 38:39Speaker 4: in five years, What is that going to do to
- 38:41Speaker 4: rattle Philip rivers bones on Sunday?
- 38:48Speaker 3: You know that anytime I do things now that I
- 38:52Speaker 3: haven't done in a while, the body definitely doesn't react
- 38:55Speaker 3: the way it did when I was younger. You know,
- 38:58Speaker 3: and you know even I mean, I think there's something
- 39:02Speaker 3: to you know, like when you're used to getting to
- 39:05Speaker 3: taking hits and your body's kind of a shock absorber
- 39:09Speaker 3: to a degree, you know that that it's just something normal,
- 39:13Speaker 3: even though it's you know, you don't want a three
- 39:15Speaker 3: hundred pound guy ever falling on top of you. Your
- 39:18Speaker 3: body just, you know, is used to that, and it
- 39:20Speaker 3: is used to that. You know that four or that
- 39:22Speaker 3: reaction and you bounce back from it, you know, completely
- 39:26Speaker 3: different than you know, I might have somebody come up
- 39:29Speaker 3: and you know, hit me now in a pick up
- 39:31Speaker 3: basketball game, and you think nothing of it in the moment,
- 39:33Speaker 3: and then you know you're walking around later you're like, ash,
- 39:35Speaker 3: what in the heck happened? Because I don't remember anything
- 39:38Speaker 3: crazy happening, but my body's sore now, So yeah, I
- 39:41Speaker 3: just again, it's it's such uncharted territory. I don't think
- 39:45Speaker 3: any of us really know, And I don't really know
- 39:48Speaker 3: what Philip's been doing, you know, I know he's been
- 39:51Speaker 3: coaching in a round ball a little bit. I don't
- 39:53Speaker 3: know he goes out there and throws and does a
- 39:56Speaker 3: little seven on seven with it, like all of that stuff.
- 39:59Speaker 3: You to me, because again I just realized what goes
- 40:03Speaker 3: into playing this position and how fast it goes in
- 40:06Speaker 3: the details that make the great greater or that you know,
- 40:10Speaker 3: make the you know, obviously a starting quarterback in the
- 40:12Speaker 3: NFL have success, and so it's just gonna be it's
- 40:16Speaker 3: gonna be a fascinating experience. And you know, I will
- 40:19Speaker 3: be very interested if he is, you know, thrown out
- 40:22Speaker 3: there on Sunday, you know, against a really good football
- 40:26Speaker 3: team and uh, you know, with three or four days
- 40:29Speaker 3: of practice.
- 40:30Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the other aspect of the other side.
- 40:32Speaker 4: How do you deal with it? Kurt warners, whether it's
- 40:34Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer talking about Philip Rivers looking like
- 40:37Speaker 4: he's going to not just play and suit up for
- 40:40Speaker 4: the Colts, but might start on Sunday against the Seahawks.
- 40:44Speaker 4: I have a hard time believing, Kurt that Philip Rivers,
- 40:47Speaker 4: even though he had Shane Steichen's offense, that he was
- 40:50Speaker 4: running there with his high school team. Can't imagine he
- 40:52Speaker 4: was able to replicate Mike McDonald's defense out there on
- 40:55Speaker 4: the high school practice field. So on the flip side,
- 41:00Speaker 4: if you're a defensive coach, I mean, what are you doing?
- 41:04Speaker 4: I mean, licking your chops, no mercy, uh, getting ready
- 41:08Speaker 4: to prepare for possibly facing Philip Rivers on Sunday.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think, like anything, you know, you
- 41:20Speaker 3: have to you kind of temper it. But but I'm
- 41:22Speaker 3: sure people in the locker room are going seriously, like seriously,
- 41:27Speaker 3: we're you know, we're going out there on Sunday and
- 41:30Speaker 3: you know, in a critical game and we're going up
- 41:32Speaker 3: against the guy that just came off the couch and
- 41:35Speaker 3: has been out of the league for five years. I mean,
- 41:38Speaker 3: I'm sure that's you know, kind of the sentiment a
- 41:40Speaker 3: little bit in the locker room. Now, you never want
- 41:42Speaker 3: to disrespect anybody, especially a great player like Philip, you know,
- 41:47Speaker 3: when he was playing and in his prime. But that
- 41:50Speaker 3: has to be part of, you know, the thought process
- 41:53Speaker 3: for this team, Like as you said, you know, licking
- 41:55Speaker 3: your chops to a degree, just saying, oh my gosh,
- 41:59Speaker 3: you know, no way in the first game back against
- 42:01Speaker 3: Dust and our defense is this guy going to have
- 42:04Speaker 3: any semblance of success. But at the same time, like
- 42:08Speaker 3: I said, you don't want to disrespect anybody. You don't
- 42:10Speaker 3: want to book past anybody, even though it's a crazy
- 42:13Speaker 3: scenario that probably nobody in that locker room has ever
- 42:16Speaker 3: experienced anything like it before. But you don't want to,
- 42:19Speaker 3: you know, get over confident or kind of look past
- 42:22Speaker 3: it and go, oh, well, he can't have success. We
- 42:24Speaker 3: have no idea, Like, we really have no idea what
- 42:27Speaker 3: this is going to look like. So you want to
- 42:29Speaker 3: respect it enough that you go out and put in
- 42:31Speaker 3: the work and you perform well, you know, to have
- 42:35Speaker 3: success and not let him have success. But yeah, there's
- 42:38Speaker 3: no question. I mean, as much as we're talking about
- 42:41Speaker 3: it and I'm thinking about that, you know in my office. Yeah,
- 42:44Speaker 3: you know, like oh my gosh, you know, going up
- 42:46Speaker 3: again this Like what's phil up thinking right now? And
- 42:50Speaker 3: I know he said, like, you know, excited and nervous.
- 42:52Speaker 3: I mean I can only imagine, like you know, because
- 42:56Speaker 3: you know there's a part of Philip too that's like, man,
- 42:58Speaker 3: I don't want to go out and embarrass myself, like
- 43:00Speaker 3: you know at the end of the day, I mean,
- 43:02Speaker 3: we would all look past it and go, oh, it
- 43:03Speaker 3: was crazy anyways, And so you know, I didn't have success.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Nobody expected me to have success. But still as competitors
- 43:09Speaker 3: and these guys that have been great in this business,
- 43:12Speaker 3: you never want to embarrass yourself either, and so you know,
- 43:16Speaker 3: I know he's going through some of those emotions, and
- 43:18Speaker 3: I'm sure you know the same thing on different levels.
- 43:21Speaker 3: It's happened in the locker room up there.
- 43:24Speaker 4: Well yeah, it's just a phenomenal story, no matter how
- 43:26Speaker 4: the result comes out. Phenomenal story. And we're getting a
- 43:29Speaker 4: little sneak preview because I can't wait. I watch you
- 43:31Speaker 4: guys on NFL Network every Sunday morning, so I can't
- 43:34Speaker 4: wait to hear you break it down further. Then. But
- 43:37Speaker 4: before we let you go in our last couple of minutes,
- 43:39Speaker 4: I do want to get your thoughts. I feel like
- 43:41Speaker 4: to be wasting an opportunity if I didn't get Kurt
- 43:43Speaker 4: Warner's thoughts on Sam Darnold and the season that he's
- 43:46Speaker 4: having here with the Seahawks, his first year in the
- 43:49Speaker 4: Pacific Northwest.
- 43:51Speaker 3: I mean, Sam's I think doing a great job. I
- 43:54Speaker 3: think it's been a really great fit for him with
- 43:58Speaker 3: what you know they want to do in the way
- 44:00Speaker 3: that they're playing. You know, Sam is a gifted player,
- 44:05Speaker 3: no question, and we've seen that and it's been fun
- 44:08Speaker 3: to watch him grow and kind of come into his
- 44:10Speaker 3: own these last couple of years. But you know, I
- 44:14Speaker 3: love the system that they're running and how it makes
- 44:16Speaker 3: it I think easier on a quarterback with a lot
- 44:19Speaker 3: of their multiple tight end sets and running the football
- 44:22Speaker 3: and play action under center to simplify some things on
- 44:25Speaker 3: top of the other things. I mean, JSN has been incredible.
- 44:28Speaker 3: He's been a joy to watch, you know, really come
- 44:30Speaker 3: into his own and the route runner that he is
- 44:33Speaker 3: and what he's meant to Sam Darnold. But it's been fun.
- 44:36Speaker 3: I think coach is doing a tremendous job up there
- 44:39Speaker 3: with the defense. I think this is a really really
- 44:40Speaker 3: good football team. And you know, it probably will at
- 44:45Speaker 3: some point come down to Sam performing in the past
- 44:48Speaker 3: game against some of these good teams in the playoffs
- 44:51Speaker 3: and and can he you know, take that next step
- 44:53Speaker 3: from obviously where he was last year in the playoffs
- 44:56Speaker 3: and what he's done in the regular season, Uh, to
- 44:59Speaker 3: be a guy that can you know, lead and carry
- 45:01Speaker 3: this team when needed in the in the drop back
- 45:04Speaker 3: pass game. But but really love where he's at right now.
- 45:07Speaker 3: I think this has been a great fit for him,
- 45:09Speaker 3: and it's been a great start to the season so
- 45:12Speaker 3: far for for everybody.
- 45:13Speaker 4: Else who is JSN most similar to Larry and Kwan,
- 45:18Speaker 4: Tory Holt or Isaac Bruce, which one is the most
- 45:21Speaker 4: who is he? Remind you?
- 45:23Speaker 3: I would probably say Isaac. You know, Isaac as great
- 45:26Speaker 3: as all those other players were, right, Isaac was the
- 45:29Speaker 3: best route runner that I was ever around. His ability
- 45:32Speaker 3: to stop and start, his ability to explode out of
- 45:36Speaker 3: his cuts, the nuance that he brought to the route running,
- 45:39Speaker 3: and when I watched Jasn, that to me is what
- 45:42Speaker 3: jumps out. I mean, he's obviously physically talented and everything,
- 45:44Speaker 3: but his nuance and details to his route running and
- 45:47Speaker 3: how he's able to create space, you know, by by
- 45:52Speaker 3: that nuance man it to me he's the best going
- 45:57Speaker 3: right now in the NFL in terms of that aspect
- 46:00Speaker 3: of things, And so I would probably tie him. You know,
- 46:03Speaker 3: it's close to Isaac as any of those guys.
- 46:06Speaker 4: Well, if Philip Rivers ends up being the Seahawks throwing
- 46:10Speaker 4: three touchdown passes, I'm expecting you, Tom Brady, everybody else
- 46:13Speaker 4: to be returning to the NFL by next year.
- 46:15Speaker 3: So Jesse, I'm ten years older than that now. So
- 46:21Speaker 3: when I was forty four, I probably would have thought
- 46:23Speaker 3: I could have done it as well. At fifty four.
- 46:27Speaker 3: I am not stupid enough to think that there would
- 46:30Speaker 3: be any chance of that.
- 46:31Speaker 4: I believe in you, Kurt Warner. I believe in you.
- 46:33Speaker 4: Stopped oubting yourself.
- 46:35Speaker 3: I greatly appreciate that, but I don't believe in myself
- 46:38Speaker 3: at this point.
- 46:39Speaker 4: So you need to author the second greatest American underdog
- 46:42Speaker 4: story in NFL history. Come on, now, that.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Would be fun. If you could guarantee I would have success.
- 46:51Speaker 3: No guarantees on that in this business. So well, we'll
- 46:54Speaker 3: all enjoy it. It'll be an interesting experience, and I
- 46:58Speaker 3: know everybody will be paying attention.
- 47:00Speaker 4: All right, Well, thanks for joining us. Great stuff. We
- 47:02Speaker 4: appreciate it, and I'll be watching Sunday. Thanks Kurt WARNERFL
- 47:07Speaker 4: Hall of Famer, former Rams Cardinals the quarterback joining us
- 47:11Speaker 4: right here on Chuck and Buck in the Mornings. Coming
- 47:14Speaker 4: up next. Well here from our QB one, Hugh Millen
- 47:17Speaker 4: haven't had his thoughts at least on the morning show
- 47:19Speaker 4: all week long on this Philip Rivers story. Greg Bell
- 47:22Speaker 4: of course will join us as well. It's Roundtable time
- 47:26Speaker 4: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM. All right,
- 47:41Speaker 4: final segment here, The twelve man round table here on
- 47:43Speaker 4: a Thursday Seahawks versus Colts. A lot of time spent
- 47:46Speaker 4: this hour on Philip Rivers, who I guess we don't
- 47:50Speaker 4: know if he's starting for sure. It just seems to
- 47:52Speaker 4: be trending that way. When Greg suggested that yesterday in
- 47:56Speaker 4: our seven o five segment, I was like, no way,
- 47:59Speaker 4: But yeah, he was onto something. He is trending towards
- 48:02Speaker 4: starting in this football game. So certainly this has become
- 48:07Speaker 4: a lot more interesting to a lot more people the
- 48:10Speaker 4: Philip Rivers show on Sunday. Greg, but we still have
- 48:13Speaker 4: a football game to win. Better not lose this one.
- 48:16Speaker 4: What's the key to getting this done on Sunday?
- 48:20Speaker 9: Well, he is started stopping Jonathan Taylor on early downs
- 48:23Speaker 9: about Rivers, Jen and Wols who played with him with
- 48:26Speaker 9: the Chargers and the beginning of his career at the
- 48:29Speaker 9: end of Rivers' time with the Chargers, and he said yesterday, Ain,
- 48:33Speaker 9: no way, Philip Rivers has come out out of retirement
- 48:36Speaker 9: to sign with the Colts, get on a plane and
- 48:38Speaker 9: take a five hour ride to Seattle at Christmas time
- 48:41Speaker 9: to not play.
- 48:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:44Speaker 9: Yeah, And so they have game planned for Rivers ever
- 48:48Speaker 9: since Tuesday when they got the news that he was
- 48:50Speaker 9: trying out. I had tried out, so they think he's playing.
- 48:53Speaker 9: Mike McDonald's game plan is that he's playing, and I
- 48:56Speaker 9: expect him to get the full Mike McDonald experience. Like
- 49:00Speaker 9: Q said, maybe even more things they haven't seen. He
- 49:03Speaker 9: hasn't shown yet in the regular season. It's gonna be
- 49:07Speaker 9: Nick emn worry is a five tick defensive end and
- 49:10Speaker 9: nine tech defensive end moving all over.
- 49:12Speaker 3: The field, full meal deal.
- 49:15Speaker 9: As we said, this is now for the first time
- 49:17Speaker 9: all season, they've got their full defense and everybody on
- 49:20Speaker 9: board and healthy. That's where the game should be won.
- 49:24Speaker 9: But they got to stop Jonathan Taylor in early down
- 49:26Speaker 9: so that it's not an easier third down situation for
- 49:29Speaker 9: Rivers on Sunday. I think they'll do that. I think
- 49:32Speaker 9: they're running defense and their front four the key to
- 49:35Speaker 9: their season. Continue to have a big seat, and Byron
- 49:37Speaker 9: Murphy has been an MVP for them both in run
- 49:40Speaker 9: stopping and crushing a quarterback. It's the most interesting regular
- 49:44Speaker 9: season game I can think of covering, maybe since Brett
- 49:48Speaker 9: Farve on a Monday night in Oakland the day after
- 49:50Speaker 9: his father died, and that was way back in two
- 49:52Speaker 9: thousand and three. That's probably the most. That's the only
- 49:56Speaker 9: thing I can even equate to this. It's going to
- 49:58Speaker 9: be a spectacle to be It's gonna be wild to
- 50:01Speaker 9: see it's unfold. It's like a Disney.
- 50:04Speaker 3: Movie, it is.
- 50:06Speaker 9: I think they win something like twenty four to ten
- 50:09Speaker 9: to move to eleven and three and shut set up
- 50:11Speaker 9: a Battle Royale with the Rams on Thursday night.
- 50:14Speaker 4: I don't know what it is about the Seahawks ever
- 50:16Speaker 4: since I moved here. Maybe it was going on forever.
- 50:19Speaker 4: They never, of course, this happened to them because they
- 50:22Speaker 4: always have something interesting going on. Never seen a franchise
- 50:26Speaker 4: be more consistently interesting than the Seattle Seahawks. All right here,
- 50:31Speaker 4: what are your final thoughts getting ready for this match
- 50:33Speaker 4: up here?
- 50:34Speaker 10: Well, I just think that Mike McDonald is finally getting
- 50:37Speaker 10: all the tools that he wants with the health of
- 50:40Speaker 10: the defense. And you know, the percentage of plays where
- 50:44Speaker 10: the Seahawks bring five plus rushers this is straight out
- 50:47Speaker 10: of the NFL stat portal, twenty one percent. That's twenty
- 50:51Speaker 10: fourth in the league. But the percent of plays where
- 50:55Speaker 10: they bring five rushers that results in a negative EPA
- 51:00Speaker 10: expected points average, that's sixty seven percent that's number one
- 51:04Speaker 10: in the league. So the Seahawks don't do it a lot,
- 51:07Speaker 10: but they're really effective when they do. And then you know,
- 51:11Speaker 10: they've been number one in the use of nickel in
- 51:14Speaker 10: all the NFL. They just don't play bass. But prior
- 51:19Speaker 10: to Emon Worry getting in the lineup, they were eighteenth
- 51:23Speaker 10: in the use of dime. Now that's they're up to fifth.
- 51:27Speaker 10: And so just the pieces I think we're gonna see,
- 51:31Speaker 10: We're gonna start to see more of those pressures as
- 51:34Speaker 10: evidenced by their their they're a great success rate, and
- 51:38Speaker 10: they've got talented blitzers. Even Worries Sony can get home
- 51:43Speaker 10: and and of course Witherspoon can get home. I like
- 51:48Speaker 10: the fact that they're doing a better job of containing it.
- 51:51Speaker 10: Drive me crazy how they would lose contain on They
- 51:54Speaker 10: have this unbelievably well designed blitz pressure. They get a
- 51:57Speaker 10: free runner, but then right and a quarterback is allowed
- 52:01Speaker 10: to escape out to his right.
- 52:03Speaker 4: So I think they've kind of buttoned that up.
- 52:05Speaker 10: I just I'm I'm just gonna grab my popcorn and
- 52:08Speaker 10: watch how this man Mike McDonald now that he has all.
- 52:13Speaker 11: Of his parts.
- 52:13Speaker 10: Remember now they lost to the Buccaneers. They had they
- 52:16Speaker 10: had four starters out, you know, and so you've got
- 52:19Speaker 10: an emerging The experiences is exponentially raising for emon worry
- 52:25Speaker 10: so that they feel like they can do more things.
- 52:28Speaker 10: I just can't wait for this mad scientist to unleash
- 52:31Speaker 10: for the last month.
- 52:32Speaker 11: And it starts against a forty four year old.
- 52:34Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think, Philip, I know how gung holy is,
- 52:37Speaker 4: but I think I would have watched that Seahawks defense
- 52:40Speaker 4: film and said, how about next week? How about we
- 52:42Speaker 4: start next week?
- 52:44Speaker 1: Right?
- 52:45Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 52:45Speaker 3: Have you not.
- 52:46Speaker 11: Acquired any wisdom in these forty four years?
- 52:49Speaker 4: You know your football, don't you? But I get the
- 52:53Speaker 4: forty nine ers next week.
- 52:54Speaker 3: It's not a picnic for him. A good point.
- 52:55Speaker 4: At least he's got a week and a half to
- 52:57Speaker 4: get ready, as opposed to like two soft practices. Greg,
- 53:03Speaker 4: I think pretty convinced twenty four to ten this is
- 53:07Speaker 4: you know, this is gonna be a runaway. I'm like
- 53:09Speaker 4: forty four to three. That's where I'm at with this game.
- 53:12Speaker 4: That's what I think it's gonna end up being. And
- 53:14Speaker 4: I think it could be a lot worse. But they're
- 53:16Speaker 4: gonna call off the dogs. That's what I think is
- 53:18Speaker 4: gonna happen. All right, gentlemen, awesome stuff. Thank you very much,
- 53:21Speaker 4: we appreciate it. We'll do it again next week and
- 53:24Speaker 4: we'll talk to you both tomorrow. Thanks.
- 53:26Speaker 3: Thanks for warts, two warts for all you.
- 53:29Speaker 4: Yeah baby, yeah yeah, I figured you'd squeeze one more
- 53:32Speaker 4: of those in there.
- 53:33Speaker 5: Ye.
- 53:35Speaker 4: Our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell, make sure you're follow
- 53:37Speaker 4: them at g Bell Seattle and of course complete Seahawks
- 53:39Speaker 4: coverage at the Newstribune dot com ur QB one. Hugh
- 53:42Speaker 4: Millen will be back with him tomorrow at nine o'clock
- 53:45Speaker 4: for our ex'es and O segment. We do it every Friday.
- 53:48Speaker 4: Mike Sandos still to join us at nine thirty. We
- 53:51Speaker 4: were gonna play Beat Bucky today, but without Bucky here,
- 53:54Speaker 4: it's not nearly as fun. So I think it provides
- 53:58Speaker 4: us a tremendous opportunity. Ash and I to discuss this
- 54:02Speaker 4: Charon More firing in Michigan and how it so greatly
- 54:05Speaker 4: impacts us as college football fans and also as a
- 54:09Speaker 4: Pacific Northwest U dub fan. Sports Radio ninety three point
- 54:13Speaker 4: three KJRFM. Great morning to you. It is Chuck Bowlin
- 54:30Speaker 4: Ashley Ryan with a wonderful poofball hat that she's wearing
- 54:34Speaker 4: here today indeed indoors.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Yeah, because my head got cold.
- 54:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I had it on when I left the house
- 54:40Speaker 5: and then I got warm in the car, so I
- 54:42Speaker 5: took it off, and then I knew I'd get cold
- 54:45Speaker 5: again sitting here, because that's what happens in this ice box.
- 54:48Speaker 4: It is a really nice hat. But out of the
- 54:50Speaker 4: corner of my eye, I thought that Ashley had bandaged
- 54:53Speaker 4: her head.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Thought I'd probably run into a wall.
- 54:57Speaker 4: Like in the cartoons where they immediately they hit the
- 55:00Speaker 4: and then they've got.
- 55:00Speaker 1: A bandage on their head, all wrapped up.
- 55:03Speaker 4: I'm like, what happened? You were just in here talking
- 55:05Speaker 4: to me, and then by the time you got back
- 55:07Speaker 4: in there, you fell, went to the nurse's office. Huh,
- 55:10Speaker 4: got a bandage head? And then we were did I
- 55:12Speaker 4: miss some time?
- 55:13Speaker 1: And like our medical staff is excellent here?
- 55:15Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, we lacking a lot of areas here at iHeartRadio.
- 55:19Speaker 1: But no hr medical staff though.
- 55:23Speaker 4: They will swaddle your head with no question about it.
- 55:27Speaker 4: All right, nine o'clock hour, Man, We've had a lot
- 55:29Speaker 4: on the philip Rivers today thanks to Kerr Warner, thanks
- 55:32Speaker 4: to Hugh Mellon thanks to Greg Bell and Mike Sander
- 55:35Speaker 4: is going to join us at nine point thirty to
- 55:36Speaker 4: talk more about that as well. But there's another big
- 55:38Speaker 4: story going on out there, one that's kind of shook
- 55:42Speaker 4: the foundation of college football once again. For the actual information,
- 55:48Speaker 4: Sharon Moore, the head coach at Michigan who took over
- 55:51Speaker 4: for Jim Harbaugh following the National Championship game, Well, he
- 55:55Speaker 4: was there for two years and he won't be there
- 55:58Speaker 4: any longer. Yesterday he was fired. It was a surprise,
- 56:02Speaker 4: and it was with cause I almost even felt at
- 56:05Speaker 4: the time like Michigan feels two years into this that
- 56:09Speaker 4: maybe Ohio State's getting too big of a lead over them,
- 56:13Speaker 4: and they're like, we need to get one of these
- 56:14Speaker 4: big guys now. And then they kind of concocted some
- 56:18Speaker 4: story to try to get Sharon Moore out so they
- 56:21Speaker 4: didn't have to pay him. But no, there's substantive reason
- 56:26Speaker 4: for why they let him go. We don't know all
- 56:28Speaker 4: the details, and I'm not going to go as far
- 56:30Speaker 4: as speculating, but what we do know is an inappropriate
- 56:34Speaker 4: relationship with a staff member and that led to his dismissal.
- 56:41Speaker 4: And then Sharon went home to a wife that had
- 56:44Speaker 4: heard the rumors, and there was a domestic situation that
- 56:49Speaker 4: took place, and before the night came to a close,
- 56:52Speaker 4: Sharon Moore had committed not just breaking and entering, but
- 56:57Speaker 4: also aggravated assault charge as well. So he went to
- 57:02Speaker 4: someone's house. People are reading into it as maybe the
- 57:05Speaker 4: person that snitched on him.
- 57:08Speaker 5: Yeah, I've heard that, or the person who he was
- 57:09Speaker 5: having the relationship.
- 57:12Speaker 4: Maybe maybe one or the other. Maybe that is the
- 57:14Speaker 4: case as well. But nonetheless, he ended up after getting firing,
- 57:18Speaker 4: being arrested and is still in custody. So obviously some
- 57:23Speaker 4: pretty serious charges. Somebody as famous as Sharon Moore with
- 57:27Speaker 4: that kind of money usually is out of jail by now,
- 57:29Speaker 4: but their charges are serious enough that he is still
- 57:33Speaker 4: in custody right now. So I think that probably ends
- 57:37Speaker 4: the portion of speculation that we need to do because
- 57:42Speaker 4: it is affecting us here in Washington, and one hell
- 57:46Speaker 4: of a twist. Many immediately the names that have come up,
- 57:52Speaker 4: and I thought when I first heard the names that
- 57:54Speaker 4: they were part of a long list. You know, this
- 57:57Speaker 4: is one of the most coveted jobs in football, certainly
- 58:00Speaker 4: in college football, and so I knew that the speculation
- 58:04Speaker 4: immediately would kick in and the story would come a
- 58:06Speaker 4: lot more about even though it's a fantastic story, people
- 58:10Speaker 4: are going to be a lot more concerned about who's
- 58:12Speaker 4: going to replace Sharon more than the future of Sharon Moore.
- 58:16Speaker 4: And so I thought initially what I was hearing when
- 58:21Speaker 4: both Kaylan de Boor and Jedfish were being listed was
- 58:25Speaker 4: they were part of a large list.
- 58:27Speaker 5: Yeah, these would be great possibilities, like five or six.
- 58:32Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe ken to twelve. Yeah, not one to two,
- 58:36Speaker 4: not the entire list.
- 58:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that list sucks.
- 58:39Speaker 4: Because by the time I woke up this morning, it
- 58:41Speaker 4: was only Kaylan de Boor and Jedfish and also Mentor,
- 58:46Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator there at Michigan, young guy with a
- 58:48Speaker 4: really bright future. But really, the speculation is that there's
- 58:53Speaker 4: no way that the Jim Harbaugh era is continuing at Michigan.
- 58:57Speaker 4: This is now the second scandal that has been involved
- 59:01Speaker 4: with Sharon Moore, and so they believe they want new blood,
- 59:04Speaker 4: and not just any old new blood. They're gonna want
- 59:08Speaker 4: a huge name in college football because they are losing
- 59:11Speaker 4: ground to their rival Ohio State and others here the
- 59:14Speaker 4: last couple of years. So that said, I wake up
- 59:18Speaker 4: this morning too. Who's going to be the next Michigan
- 59:21Speaker 4: head coach? Kaylin de Boor or Jedfish You've gotta be
- 59:26Speaker 4: hitting me and that's it.
- 59:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I was listening on the way in
- 59:29Speaker 5: and there was a guy from Detroit talking and he said, well,
- 59:32Speaker 5: de Boor, you know, it's he's not a good fit
- 59:34Speaker 5: at Alabama and he'd be better, but he wants to
- 59:37Speaker 5: go back to the Midwest. And he was sounding like
- 59:39Speaker 5: someone who really, you know, is aware that Debor might
- 59:42Speaker 5: not be happy or I mean, he doesn't look happy.
- 59:44Speaker 1: He looks happier, but not happy.
- 59:47Speaker 4: He doesn't look like he doesn't look like he looked here.
- 59:49Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 59:50Speaker 5: And and then the other one was or but Jedfish
- 59:53Speaker 5: and then they can just raid Washington's program.
- 59:55Speaker 1: I was like, come on now, man.
- 59:57Speaker 4: And that's what will happen.
- 59:59Speaker 1: And that's what's so about college football these days.
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: It's like it's already hard enough to be a college
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: football fan of a team that really there's no loyalty
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: anymore because you can't get attached to a player, you
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: can't get attached to a coach. But if every couple
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: years you're just having to start all over. And I
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: understand nowadays with all the ni AL money, it can
- 1:00:18Speaker 5: happen fast, But I don't know. It's just my love
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: for college football is has been declining in the last
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: couple of years, and if this happens again, it's gonna tank.
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: I've heard that a lot from people, and I understand why.
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: I mean, number one, you liked college football and we've
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: gone through such massive changes. Yeah that that already was
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: shaking you at your core. I mean, we're not even
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: in the conference we use, right you, college kids are
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: getting paid money. That's that's unfamiliar. Bowl games are going
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: the way of the dinosaur at this point. So there
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: are a lot of things that people loved about college football,
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: the purity of the sport, all of those things that
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: they talked themselves into. But it was the foundation for
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: lifetimes a fandom of the college football product. And and
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: you know, and I have spent a lifetime loving college football.
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: And now we also have had these ripple effects of
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: things that we didn't see coming. Like, Okay, we've managed
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: the nil. Turns out it wasn't as bad as what
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: we thought, or at least that's the mode we're in,
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: right now who knows how it twists and turns. We
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: managed the bowl games, this college tournament pretty cool and
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: it is adding quite a bit to the daily conversation
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: during the college football season. But there have been other
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: things that were unforeseen, and you know, the transfer portals
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: turned in a little bit to free agency, which people
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: can moan about it. And yet it is any attention
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: is good attention. You always heard that in Mark in class.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: That's what they say.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: The product's flying high. Yeah, the interest is flying high.
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: So even though I'm hearing more and more people say
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: that they're that is this is all testing their college
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: football fandom. Apparently it's gaining a lot more fans that
- 1:02:16Speaker 4: were just casual fans. Well because the drama, the players shuffle,
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: the coach shuffle, the going from bowl games to a
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: tournament shuffle, has brought in a lot of eyeballs, and
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: it not only has not affected the product. The product
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: seems to be better than ever. Doesn't mean that it's sustainable,
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: because it does seem I'm with all the people that
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: are soured and turned off a little bit right now.
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: I understand it's chaos right now. And whenever you have chaos, yeah,
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: it might feel good for a while. Meal may feel
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: like it's working for a while, but if you don't
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: get that under control, it could crash and burn.
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's I think that's the biggest problem is
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: that it's you're getting all these fans, like you said so,
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: but at the expense of I think the loyal fans,
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: the ones who have felt that allegiance with the school
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: for decades and have been asked for money, you know,
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: and have been paying for seat upgrades and getting you know,
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: you get asked, oh, make this just speaking for Washington,
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: you make a taiee donation. Now maybe you get a
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: better seat, and you've been doing this for years and
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: years and years and years, and then the product itself,
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: the loyalty to the program that you felt is gone.
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: So you're just kind of I think it's turning more
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: people into the casual football fan, whereas like, yeah, I'll
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: tune in on a Saturday to watch the big games,
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: in the big matchups. But as far as Husky football,
- 1:03:41Speaker 5: I mean, I have season tickets right now. I went
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: to two games this year and part of that is
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: because of a schedule.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: So but what am I gonna do?
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: Am I going to keep paying for games where I'm
- 1:03:51Speaker 5: and supporting the program. That doesn't feel the same when
- 1:03:55Speaker 5: I can only go to two games because of the schedule,
- 1:03:57Speaker 5: like and not the football schedules, saying like life schedule, yes,
- 1:04:02Speaker 5: and so no, probably not because why would I keep
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: giving money to something that when.
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: Your interest and love for it is is waning?
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: Yeah, And so I'm in this place now where I'm like, well,
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: do I want to give them that money again? Or
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: do I just want to maybe say, Okay, you know what,
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: maybe I'll go to an away game, or maybe I'll
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: pick one game and just spend some money on one
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: game ticket versus a whole season.
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I think that a lot of these things
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: are great for college football. I think that we are
- 1:04:30Speaker 4: heading in the right direction. And I think even the
- 1:04:32Speaker 4: Dieard fan, even the Cam Cleland who misses bowl games,
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: once we get the playoff set and maybe we can
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: figure out a new way to play bowl games than
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: what we have had in the past. I think we
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: need to move on from the idea of you know, oh,
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: it's great to see these seniors all playing one last
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: game together. What are you talking about? You know, they're
- 1:04:55Speaker 4: like two of them that have been here all four years.
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: We don't need to hold onto that. Yeah, but so,
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: but I do think that there's a way to hold
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: on to the Bowl feel, even though it won't look
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: anything like it used to, and the college football tournament.
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: As we start iiring out some of these wrinkles, I
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: think that college I think you'll follow. I think you'll
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: follow that road. I think maybe you even get used
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: to transfer portal and going from Oh, we lost everybody
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: at once, but we got a lot of new guys
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: coming in. That's kind of like free agency, and everybody
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: loves free agency and professional sports. So I think that
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: even though you might not think you like it now,
- 1:05:32Speaker 4: I think you could stay on board with it. Where
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: where your point to me is loud and clear is
- 1:05:40Speaker 4: the coaching changes and then that and how it affects
- 1:05:45Speaker 4: the transfer portal.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree.
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: That is especially to if we go through it again
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: and again. This isn't Jetfish coming out and saying he's
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: gonna leave or anything like that. This is no fault
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: of Jetfish right now, other than his past history shows
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: that he's moved around a bunch.
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: Yeah, he's going to be involved in these in these rooms.
- 1:06:00Speaker 4: But what what's what I don't think that fans like
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: you that are already starting to feel like disassociated with it,
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: what you're going to be able to deal with is
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: the coach, because the coach puts all of that other
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: stuff in motion. So to me, it's time to make
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: these hold these coaches feets to the fire and this
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: world that we live in where we're finding it perfectly
- 1:06:26Speaker 4: acceptable that you're at a job Kaylin de boor that
- 1:06:30Speaker 4: you absolutely love, that everybody there loves you, and because
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: you don't get along with the new athletic.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: Director who liked you is already gone.
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: If you just waited, you had more power than he did,
- 1:06:45Speaker 4: if you would have just waited. This always seeking some
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: place where I'm sure it's going to be even better. No,
- 1:06:52Speaker 4: when you find great, you better latch onto it. Yeah,
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: you know that that is a bad way to live life,
- 1:07:00Speaker 4: and for Lane Kiffin to keep doing it and it
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: always ends up blowing up in his in his face.
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: Uh and and even Jetfish same message to you, Bud,
- 1:07:11Speaker 4: Like you know, I hope you are serious about staying here.
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: And and yet if he does leave, you're right, he's
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: going to raid all of the program. Yeah, and he's
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: going to take Demon Williams to Michigan with him, and
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: he's going to take half of the roster. And then
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: guess what the follow up move has to be. If
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: you're Washington, Well, we got to hire another head coach
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: because we just lost our coach and half our roster. Yeah,
- 1:07:35Speaker 4: so now we got to go hire another head coach
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: and then raid their us. Sorry, sorry about it. We
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: now raided your roster. Yeah, that has to be stopped.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: It feels dirty.
- 1:07:45Speaker 5: And we talk about too that, Like, you know, we
- 1:07:47Speaker 5: spent the last couple days talking about players moving and.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Things like that too.
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: And I just think it's interesting that the idea is in,
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: you know, in a way to stop the players from
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: moving is to sign have him sign a contract. Well,
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: contracts clearly don't mean Diddley because look at all the
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: coaches who have signed contracts.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: And then more of money comes in and then.
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: They're like, oh, never mind, we'll just buy you out
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: and you can we can fire you, or we'll just
- 1:08:11Speaker 5: pay more and you can leave and we'll deal with
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: your buyout. So contracts in college football especially mean Jack squad.
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: And I think that that is where I would start
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: because I think, like I said, all those other changes
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: will get accustomed to. Yeah, and I think that will
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: that most of us, not all of us. Most of
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: us are gonna like it better once we iron out
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: all the wrinkles. But there's no way to continue to
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: like this. There's no way we can do this raid
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: and replace kind of existence that we're living in college football.
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: It's it's nonsense, and it all starts with greedy coaches.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: And so I think rules are going to have to
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: be put in place. I think college coaches need to
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: be held to the standard that players used to be
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: held to, the standardays to be held to. And if
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: it's so important for you to leave, players can now
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: leave if they want during the transfer portal year to year.
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: Let's not allow coaches to do that. If it's so
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: important to you to get to an even better program
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: where you're sure the grass is even greener than the
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: green grass that you say you love, and I've said
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: for years you love beneath your feet, But you've got
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: to get to that next one because that's fourteen dollars more.
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: And and it's also, oh gosh, when I get there,
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: I mean, when it rains, it rains, skittles, and there
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: are rains. Yeah, there are rainbows that shoot out of
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: all of my orifices every single morning. I mean before
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: it's heaven. You know, if that's the mentality constantly and
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: it never stops, make them sit out of here. If
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: that heaven is what you're sit out of here without pay?
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: Do you want to go now? And I'll let you
- 1:09:54Speaker 4: leave if you've got one year left on your contract,
- 1:09:58Speaker 4: and if they can't negotiate an extension, or you don't
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: want to negotiate an extension, we'll let you leave because
- 1:10:04Speaker 4: nobody wants to be in that even program can't exist
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: in that one year of is he going to be
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: here or is he going to not be here? You know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: you know, you don't even want to deal with that
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: as an administration. But I think that if we could
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: put in place like colleges can't hire somebody, if they
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: do hire somebody that's under contract with another, then they
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: have to go with an interim for a year, and
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: then they have to sit out a year with no pay.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and then just curb it.
- 1:10:33Speaker 4: I'm not saying get rid of it, just curb it,
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: because you're right, I think, what more than anything else
- 1:10:38Speaker 4: that has changed, if you continue to put college fan
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: bases through like always worried that their coach is leaving,
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: and then once he leaves, he's taking how much of
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: the roster? And then who do we have to steal away?
- 1:10:54Speaker 4: And then we got to learn a completely new roster,
- 1:10:57Speaker 4: and then we got to give that coach a year
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: to get adjusted, and so we're not going to hold him.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: Just that to me is unsustainable. That's what's going to
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: chase away more college fans than anything. Even though right
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: now none of you are getting chased away. You can
- 1:11:11Speaker 4: say you're getting chased away, but you're not getting chased away.
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: And the ratings suggest that. But if you go through
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: that experience enough, Ashley, I do see. I can feel
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: it in you.
- 1:11:22Speaker 5: I'm not going to put up with this much longer,
- 1:11:24Speaker 5: right and I mean for me to be even considering
- 1:11:26Speaker 5: that we're not renewing our Husky tickets, yeah next year,
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: that is a big deal. We have had them since
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: Mark and I started dating, so this is and I
- 1:11:34Speaker 5: grew up with them with my dad, Like, this is
- 1:11:36Speaker 5: a big deal. And I just think, you know, as
- 1:11:38Speaker 5: far as nil, I have no problem with I want
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: players to get money for their name, image and likeness.
- 1:11:43Speaker 5: But what has happened to nil has? It's out of control. Well,
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: but where we are, we haven't trying to rain that in.
- 1:11:50Speaker 5: We do have rules.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going to work, but they
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: at least have implemented rules, and then maybe we can
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: start bringing some order in chaos. But until you start
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: telling these coaches you just can't leave every year because
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: you can make six dollars more and get your ass
- 1:12:05Speaker 4: kissed for a year on campus until they turn on
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: you and then you want to leave again. Yeah, that
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: has to get under control, and shame on all of them.
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: Shame on all of them. You know this grass is
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: greener approach? How did you not enjoy your How are
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: you not enjoying your life?
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: I know you got a pretty good one.
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: How do you only enjoy it unless your ass is
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: getting kissed as the new guy on campus for one year?
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: That's all you can go. You're asking your players to
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: commit to you for four years and you can't go
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: more than a year without. Ooh, maybe I don't want
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: to be here anymore. You know, I saw the janitor
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: in the hallways and he wasn't very kind to me today.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: He didn't he wasn't super pumped to see me.
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: Yeah, after spending this in the last three years, ripping
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: on kids and their lack of loyalty and the coaches,
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: they're setting the standard more so than anybody.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I just the whole thing
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: is I don't like it.
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: Mike Sando Neck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: Born and Call Hunts Now with Mike. Here's I couldn't
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: bot h Yes, every Thursday at this time, getting ready
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: for Thursday night football and so much more. It is
- 1:13:07Speaker 4: our NFL Insider from the athletic Mike Sando, Good morning, sir.
- 1:13:12Speaker 12: You sure you're prepared to go one on one with
- 1:13:14Speaker 12: me today without your partner?
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm more than prepared, even though you will, for
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: the first time be covering a quarterback older than you
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: on Sunday.
- 1:13:27Speaker 12: I wish I wish I was younger than Philip Rivers.
- 1:13:30Speaker 12: We're all making fun of him for looking like he's,
- 1:13:32Speaker 12: you know, a little heavier, but yeah, he's probably a
- 1:13:36Speaker 12: super elite athlete compared to the rest of us.
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: How I mean, where does this rank in the craziest,
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: most unexpected stories of your career?
- 1:13:46Speaker 12: It's definitely it's it's up there. I mean, I think
- 1:13:50Speaker 12: to be out for five years, you know, it's funny.
- 1:13:53Speaker 12: I think of this did happen once before. You know,
- 1:13:56Speaker 12: the the nineteen ninety eight Falcons team, which our good
- 1:14:00Speaker 12: buddy Robbie Tobeck was part of, did have Steve de
- 1:14:05Speaker 12: Burg come back after five years out.
- 1:14:06Speaker 11: But they weren't really counting on him.
- 1:14:08Speaker 12: They went to the Super Bowl, they weren't really counting
- 1:14:09Speaker 12: on him to get him there. So I think it's
- 1:14:12Speaker 12: totally wild, but I get it. They're desperate. I think
- 1:14:15Speaker 12: that their options are limited.
- 1:14:17Speaker 11: I'm sure they're trying to.
- 1:14:18Speaker 12: Do outter things. My question is, where's Ryan Tannehill and
- 1:14:21Speaker 12: all of this? Wouldn't he want to come out of retirement?
- 1:14:24Speaker 4: Cam Newton wanted to Cam?
- 1:14:26Speaker 12: I just I tweeted that I think recently he's throwing
- 1:14:29Speaker 12: his very stylish hat into the ring stuff that it's
- 1:14:32Speaker 12: a different hat. He got a better hat to throw
- 1:14:34Speaker 12: in the ring anybody else.
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: I mean, does he have. I kind of get it.
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: If the Colts are like, hey, we got four or
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: five games, we're in playoff contention right now. If we
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: can just maybe steal a game in the next couple
- 1:14:47Speaker 4: of weeks with Rippin, and let's sign Rivers now and
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: maybe by the last couple of weeks of the year
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: that we can get him up to speed and he
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: will be better than what Brett Rippen will be. But
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: to sign him on Tuesday and have him play against
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: Mike McDonald's defense on Sunday, I mean, Mike, is there
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: any chance he's going to have any level of success
- 1:15:08Speaker 4: on Sunday?
- 1:15:09Speaker 11: I don't think so.
- 1:15:10Speaker 12: I think the best thing they could do would be
- 1:15:12Speaker 12: to string it along a little while. I think it's
- 1:15:14Speaker 12: a move that well, yes, they could. You definitely use
- 1:15:16Speaker 12: a quarterback.
- 1:15:17Speaker 11: I think it. You know, you're kind of showing your
- 1:15:19Speaker 11: locker room. You get a little energy.
- 1:15:20Speaker 12: Hey, Philip Rivers out here, you got some hope. I
- 1:15:23Speaker 12: wouldn't want to have that hope go away in one
- 1:15:26Speaker 12: week when he gets, you know, helped off the field
- 1:15:29Speaker 12: limping because he pulled a hamstring or something.
- 1:15:31Speaker 11: I think I would do. I would keep him in
- 1:15:33Speaker 11: the queue here for a week or two. It's unfair
- 1:15:35Speaker 11: to send.
- 1:15:36Speaker 12: Him out there against Seattle, a top two or three
- 1:15:38Speaker 12: defense in the league on the road. I mean, that's
- 1:15:40Speaker 12: just a recipe for failure to really have a bad
- 1:15:43Speaker 12: game where he could get hurt. So I think I
- 1:15:46Speaker 12: would totally have him come along and be saving this
- 1:15:50Speaker 12: thing up. You're not going to get eliminated this week, right,
- 1:15:53Speaker 12: and maybe then you could get something out of him
- 1:15:55Speaker 12: after a week or two of practice.
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: Crazy, just a crazy story and you had fun. I'm
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: here for it, front Row, get to the popcorn. Let's
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: just like it.
- 1:16:03Speaker 12: Like you know I can remember. You know, this is
- 1:16:06Speaker 12: a long time ago. But like one time in the eighties,
- 1:16:08Speaker 12: Jim Brown was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, like
- 1:16:10Speaker 12: at age forty eight, and it last played in like
- 1:16:13Speaker 12: the sixties, like he was gonna come back with the
- 1:16:14Speaker 12: Raiders because he was talking smack about all these running backs,
- 1:16:18Speaker 12: these these soft guys of today who we now look
- 1:16:21Speaker 12: back on as the hardcore guys, these soft guys of
- 1:16:24Speaker 12: today stepping out of bounds. Frank O Harris, let me
- 1:16:27Speaker 12: put let me lace him up again. And he got
- 1:16:29Speaker 12: on the cover of Sports Illustrator, But he never came
- 1:16:31Speaker 12: back because he would have looked terrible.
- 1:16:32Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
- 1:16:33Speaker 12: Will Chamberlain allegedly they were trying to bring him out
- 1:16:36Speaker 12: of retirement. He was allegedly like dominating against Magic Johnson,
- 1:16:39Speaker 12: and pickup games.
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: I don't know about all of that, but you know,
- 1:16:43Speaker 4: seven foot two, you probably could fill a role like
- 1:16:46Speaker 4: playing quarterback in the National Football League five years after
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: you retire. That just seems like too large of a
- 1:16:54Speaker 4: hurdle to clear.
- 1:16:55Speaker 12: Yeah, put that only got one for a visual Take
- 1:16:58Speaker 12: his mug shot and put it next to Brady's age
- 1:17:00Speaker 12: forty four buck shot. I mean, they're different guys. One guy,
- 1:17:03Speaker 12: you know, he's that annoying guy who's like at the
- 1:17:06Speaker 12: gym at age fifty and somehow looks like he's twenty.
- 1:17:09Speaker 12: And the other guy looks like, you know, you should look.
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: Like you should look. Yeah, and he's very likable. I
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: mean his press conference was fantastic talking about his weight
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: and everything else. But yeah, well, yes, mac them around.
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: We don't have any choice. I can't wait. It's going
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: to be like a Rottweiler on a pork chop. Coming
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: up on Sunday, Mike Sando is with us our NFL
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: insider from the Athletics. A lot of other things going
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: on as well. Did you get the sense that Joe
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: Burrows comments this week a bit cryptic, like almost he's
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: feeling like he might not play football? Anymore.
- 1:17:42Speaker 12: Yeah, I think he gets that way. I did see that.
- 1:17:47Speaker 12: A part of me was like, don't you just sort
- 1:17:49Speaker 12: of have to, you know, be the energy source for
- 1:17:52Speaker 12: your team too here.
- 1:17:53Speaker 11: You know, and maybe he is that on game day.
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: Yeah, your team's bad because you haven't been there for them.
- 1:17:59Speaker 12: Yeah, and their defense too. I mean, I think, you
- 1:18:01Speaker 12: know how much of this is maybe I shouldst this off.
- 1:18:04Speaker 12: But in past seasons, you know, I've kind of run
- 1:18:07Speaker 12: the side by side snapshot of him and Carson Palmer.
- 1:18:09Speaker 12: You know, they kind of both have lived this Cincinnati
- 1:18:12Speaker 12: experience one way to the other. And now Joe got
- 1:18:15Speaker 12: paid a ton of money and I think that was
- 1:18:16Speaker 12: part of the issue with Carson Palmer. But still it
- 1:18:19Speaker 12: it gets discouraging after a while. I think he's just
- 1:18:22Speaker 12: in a different place with the injuries what there are
- 1:18:25Speaker 12: on defense, and it did everything they could to win
- 1:18:27Speaker 12: the game last week and still couldn't win it. He
- 1:18:28Speaker 12: had a great game and it didn't bounce their way.
- 1:18:30Speaker 12: So I agree, I think he's sort of got to,
- 1:18:33Speaker 12: you know, pull that together by the end of the
- 1:18:35Speaker 12: week and be the source of energy, not the source
- 1:18:37Speaker 12: of gloom.
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: Chief's done.
- 1:18:40Speaker 11: Yeah, I think they're done. This year for I think
- 1:18:43Speaker 11: they're not going to make the playoffs.
- 1:18:44Speaker 4: Yes, what about like like done, like they need to rebuild? Done,
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: or well they'll make a couple of adjustments and be
- 1:18:53Speaker 4: right back next year.
- 1:18:54Speaker 12: I think it'd be the second one. I think they'll
- 1:18:56Speaker 12: definitely make some adjustments. I have felt like it could
- 1:18:58Speaker 12: actually help them to miss the playoffs if they're not
- 1:19:01Speaker 12: going to be a team that goes all the way
- 1:19:02Speaker 12: or goes deep, just because it does force you to,
- 1:19:06Speaker 12: you know, make maybe some changes you wouldn't make otherwise.
- 1:19:09Speaker 12: When you feel like you're close, when it's proven you're
- 1:19:11Speaker 12: not close, like by not making the playoffs, I think.
- 1:19:14Speaker 11: Then you need to.
- 1:19:15Speaker 12: There's some more soul searching goes on, and I think
- 1:19:17Speaker 12: that could be good for them.
- 1:19:19Speaker 4: Rams play the Lions this week. Fantastic matchup and man,
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: that Stafford golf trade. Have you ever seen a trade
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: benefit more teams more than what that one did.
- 1:19:31Speaker 11: It's it's tough to have a win win like that.
- 1:19:33Speaker 12: I think they were both perfect for each other at
- 1:19:35Speaker 12: a really critical important position. I mean, how many quarterbacks
- 1:19:37Speaker 12: for quarterback trades have there even been, let alone guys
- 1:19:40Speaker 12: who end up becoming you know, getting new contracts with
- 1:19:43Speaker 12: their teams being winning playoff games. It's it really was
- 1:19:46Speaker 12: a great trade. It's funny you mentioned Burrow, you know,
- 1:19:51Speaker 12: being down and out. I think Stafford was at that
- 1:19:52Speaker 12: point in the trait where he's just kind of like,
- 1:19:54Speaker 12: all right, I've been here enough, you know, let me
- 1:19:55Speaker 12: go somewhere else.
- 1:19:56Speaker 4: And I wonder if something similar could happen. I mean,
- 1:19:59Speaker 4: you use that as the proto type the Golf Stafford trade.
- 1:20:02Speaker 4: If Cincinnati would say, hey, if we can get a
- 1:20:06Speaker 4: franchise quarterback in return, because usually these things are we
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: trade our franchise quarterback for seventeen draft picks and rebuild.
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: But if Cincinnati could get a trade in the off
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: season where we're going to trade you for another you know,
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: like Jared Goff, like a good, We're gonna trade it
- 1:20:23Speaker 4: great for a good and then you throw us a
- 1:20:25Speaker 4: bunch of draft picks in addition, maybe that's something Cincinnati entertains.
- 1:20:29Speaker 4: If in fact, Joe Burrow is still wants to play.
- 1:20:33Speaker 12: Yeah, if some people have touched you in the league
- 1:20:36Speaker 12: had kind of predicted it could go down that path
- 1:20:39Speaker 12: at some point, I think the perception of Golf was that, hey,
- 1:20:42Speaker 12: he was kind of this, you know, appreciated asset so
- 1:20:45Speaker 12: to speak. Right, if we're going to use an economic
- 1:20:47Speaker 12: type of a term, So who would that be? Who's
- 1:20:49Speaker 12: like still good? But you know, is perceived to have
- 1:20:53Speaker 12: run his course in a certain place. And off the
- 1:20:56Speaker 12: top of my head, I I don't.
- 1:20:58Speaker 4: Know, I rammed Arnold in a first for Joe Burrow,
- 1:21:01Speaker 4: would you do it?
- 1:21:04Speaker 11: Uh?
- 1:21:07Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, what I was thinking about this? You just
- 1:21:10Speaker 12: cut me off af guard. But what about now? What
- 1:21:13Speaker 12: about like Caleb Williams? Oh, you know what if Ben
- 1:21:18Speaker 12: Johnson wanted to play with with Burrow and they said, hey,
- 1:21:21Speaker 12: we'll give you let.
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: We like our guy.
- 1:21:26Speaker 12: But yeah, but I mean that's no offensive journald. But
- 1:21:28Speaker 12: I mean Burrow has been a top tier guy.
- 1:21:30Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:21:30Speaker 11: I do think the injuries are concerned with him mm.
- 1:21:35Speaker 4: Hmmm yeah, but yeah, Caleb Williams is a better example,
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: like a young quarterback that's controllable that Cincinnati could have.
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: And then you probably throw in a little bit more.
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: I like that thought, all right. Thursday Night Football Falcons
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Are the Buccaneers going to hold onto
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: this division? Or not?
- 1:21:52Speaker 11: God?
- 1:21:52Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:21:53Speaker 12: I don't know if they are there's something wrong. They've
- 1:21:54Speaker 12: they've really uh you know, they they've fallen off. I
- 1:21:57Speaker 12: think some of it is deffinitely their injury situation. But
- 1:22:00Speaker 12: what's Atlanta. You know, Atlanta is a team. Yeah, they're
- 1:22:03Speaker 12: They're a team that really needs to show something late
- 1:22:06Speaker 12: in the year too, to avoid a bunch of huge changes.
- 1:22:08Speaker 12: That might be the best thing for him anyway. So
- 1:22:10Speaker 12: I think it's a desperation game. I'm kind of oddly
- 1:22:13Speaker 12: intrigued by it in that sense. And the and they've played,
- 1:22:16Speaker 12: I think they've played. Last year they played, didn't they
- 1:22:18Speaker 12: play a prime time game that was wild and overtime
- 1:22:21Speaker 12: or something? Yes, ye, may we get that.
- 1:22:22Speaker 4: I just Cousins was in that game and actually was
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: his only good game last year.
- 1:22:26Speaker 12: Yeah, so may maybe he can have another good game.
- 1:22:28Speaker 12: But I think it's more of a curiosity than a
- 1:22:31Speaker 12: good matchup.
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: All right, all right, man, Well, thank you very much.
- 1:22:35Speaker 4: Enjoyed Philip Rivers on Sunday. And if he's successful, I'm
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: going to try a comeback.
- 1:22:41Speaker 11: Absolutely.
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: I didn't know you have to, Oh, thank you. I
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: haven't played quarterback junior or in high school, but I
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: will make a comeback. That is what they call, is
- 1:22:53Speaker 4: there like some Super eight video of that mobile color?
- 1:23:00Speaker 11: Let's being color.
- 1:23:01Speaker 4: Let's put it this way. There's a lot of hands
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: handing off the ball, not a lot of throwing in
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: southern Illinois in the late eighties. I'll tell you that.
- 1:23:08Speaker 12: I'm going to try to find that video. I'm gonna
- 1:23:10Speaker 12: have to find that video, but I do think it's
- 1:23:11Speaker 12: probably film. It's probably just spice together.
- 1:23:15Speaker 4: Drawings, drawings of me old book.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: You just have to flip it fast.
- 1:23:21Speaker 11: Flip the fast book.
