Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Each time to talk all things college football.
- 0:03Speaker 2: It's just like the menu at Taco Time. You just
- 0:05Speaker 2: can't get enough. You just can't get enough.
- 0:07Speaker 3: This is our weekly visit with Rick new Heidel, brought
- 0:10Speaker 3: to you by Taco Time.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Nachos new Heidels used to be a moniker of mine.
- 0:15Speaker 3: I mean just sell you know, now on your home
- 0:17Speaker 3: for college football Saturdays. Here's Nacho's new Heidel on Sports
- 0:21Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
- 0:25Speaker 2: This is college football and I want you to get
- 0:27Speaker 2: it all over yourself.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Every Tuesday, Rick new Isle with us right here on
- 0:35Speaker 1: Checking Buck in the morning.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Hello, sir, Hey, how are you guys doing today?
- 0:39Speaker 1: We're doing great. How about yourself?
- 0:42Speaker 2: I got no bad news. I woke up this morning
- 0:45Speaker 2: in Birmingham, Alabama, and flew back to New York in
- 0:49Speaker 2: time to get the last portion of my radio show done,
- 0:52Speaker 2: and now here I am with you.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Okay. I'm curious, as it's a Husky UCLA week. Much
- 1:00Speaker 1: is your son bugging you for information about the Huskies?
- 1:03Speaker 1: And how much is Jedfish bugging you for information about UCLA? Interesting?
- 1:10Speaker 2: I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you, right.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You know what I find as I get older, no
- 1:19Speaker 2: one really wants my information. I've been relegated to that
- 1:27Speaker 2: role as a father and just stay out of the way. Dad,
- 1:30Speaker 2: I got this. So I'm anxious for the game. I
- 1:33Speaker 2: think the quarterback is going to be healthy. He was unavailable,
- 1:37Speaker 2: Miko Iamaliavo was unavailable against Ohio State, and we know
- 1:42Speaker 2: what they do to opponent offenses, especially if you're down
- 1:47Speaker 2: a couple of guys. So I'm anxious to see UCLA
- 1:50Speaker 2: play better. But the way Washington was clicking last week,
- 1:54Speaker 2: it'll be uh, it'll be a tough shore for their defense.
- 1:58Speaker 4: Yeah, they were, they were clicking, and then they have
- 2:00Speaker 4: some injuries. And yet I am curious just as far
- 2:03Speaker 4: as UCLA goes, what is it that the Huskies need
- 2:06Speaker 4: to worry about the most.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I think, you know, the player is Miko i Amaliaba,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and when his legs get involved, then they become dangerous.
- 2:18Speaker 2: But getting to that portion of their offenses, it's been difficult.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Early in the season. The defense was doing really, really well.
- 2:29Speaker 2: The last couple of times out times out, they they've struggled.
- 2:32Speaker 2: They couldn't stop Nebraska, who had kind of a fleet
- 2:36Speaker 2: of foot quarterback, a freshman that was playing that particular
- 2:41Speaker 2: day TJ Latif, and I don't know that they'll be
- 2:46Speaker 2: able to corral Demon Williams given what we've seen of
- 2:50Speaker 2: him and his ability to make plays with his legs.
- 2:54Speaker 1: The Bruins saw the number one ranked team in the
- 2:56Speaker 1: country up close and personal last week. Are the defending
- 3:00Speaker 1: national champs even better this year than they were last season?
- 3:05Speaker 2: You know, I don't know that I see vulnerability right now.
- 3:10Speaker 2: No one's been able, no one's been able to exploit it.
- 3:14Speaker 2: But I don't know that they can just move you
- 3:17Speaker 2: off the ball as an offensive line. I think they're
- 3:21Speaker 2: you know what we saw with Texas A and M
- 3:24Speaker 2: coming from behind in that game against South Carolina this week,
- 3:27Speaker 2: what we saw Indiana coming from behind against Penn State
- 3:31Speaker 2: a week ago. Those are the three undefeated teams. Ohio
- 3:36Speaker 2: State really hasn't been challenged like that. Their freshman quarterback
- 3:40Speaker 2: hasn't been challenged like that, needing to make a comeback.
- 3:43Speaker 2: You know, he's been pretty comfortable the entire year, I think,
- 3:48Speaker 2: And we'll wait and see what happens when they play
- 3:50Speaker 2: against Michigan, But I think that's the disadvantage going into
- 3:55Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff Tournament. Because you need to know
- 4:00Speaker 2: that you can do that, and having not had that experience,
- 4:04Speaker 2: I think they're vulnerable. I would not bet them as
- 4:07Speaker 2: the favorite to win this whole thing. Take the house,
- 4:10Speaker 2: I'd take the house, I take the field, Take the field.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Well, basically at that point in the season where I
- 4:17Speaker 4: mean kind of getting down to the nitty grit and
- 4:19Speaker 4: you'll have some big time, you know, rivalry games coming up.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I mean, are you expecting chaos or would you? Does
- 4:27Speaker 4: it feel like this season is more destined for kind
- 4:30Speaker 4: of the chalk what we're seeing right now. Let's just
- 4:33Speaker 4: say you know that there's not going to be a
- 4:34Speaker 4: ton of upheaval. As far as the College Playoff is going, well.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I think it's really fascinating in the SEC because there
- 4:43Speaker 2: are still six teams that can finish with two losses
- 4:49Speaker 2: or better, and is there room for all six? Therein
- 4:54Speaker 2: lies the problem in the Big twelve. Is there another
- 4:59Speaker 2: team that's going to get in with Texas Tech or
- 5:02Speaker 2: derailed Texas Tech in the championship game? And if in
- 5:06Speaker 2: fact that happens, does that take two teams and does
- 5:08Speaker 2: that kick out another SEC team? So those are all
- 5:13Speaker 2: interesting things. It looks like Notre Dame has secured their spot.
- 5:17Speaker 2: They've got Syracuse left at home, which is going to
- 5:21Speaker 2: be a wildly overmatched team, and then they travel to
- 5:25Speaker 2: the West Coast to play Stanford. Sanford could give them
- 5:28Speaker 2: a fight. But the way Notre Dame's playing right now
- 5:30Speaker 2: and the way they negotiated this deal in the college
- 5:33Speaker 2: football playoffs, I mean, they're sitting there as still six
- 5:38Speaker 2: spots ahead of Miami. We'll wait and see what happens tonight.
- 5:41Speaker 2: But Miami beat them, and I'm just sitting there. If
- 5:44Speaker 2: I'm Miami, I got to be going crazy. I mean,
- 5:47Speaker 2: Miami beat North Carolina State this week the same way
- 5:50Speaker 2: that Notre Dame did. Why are they so far behind them?
- 5:54Speaker 2: And if you're talking about, you know, penalties that should
- 5:58Speaker 2: have been called, you know Texas A and m beating
- 6:02Speaker 2: Notre Dame, they could say, hey, there was a holding
- 6:04Speaker 2: call that was blatantly missed. You could point out Miami's
- 6:07Speaker 2: lost SMU. There was a a necessary roughness penalty where
- 6:12Speaker 2: the guy tried to hold hold up the quarterback. He
- 6:15Speaker 2: just didn't near the whistle and they called it on
- 6:17Speaker 2: him to give the SMU a chance for the game
- 6:20Speaker 2: time field goal, So it's it's just wildly advantageous for
- 6:24Speaker 2: the Irish right now.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Rick new isil is with it. Certainly. Oklahoma shipped things
- 6:29Speaker 1: up last week with their win over Alabama. Both of
- 6:32Speaker 1: those teams should make it into the College Football Playoff rankings,
- 6:35Speaker 1: which will be revealed the latest little later on tonight.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I'm curious, though the Koogs have a game at James Madison,
- 6:43Speaker 1: they could have an effect on keeping a team here
- 6:46Speaker 1: out of the NCAA tournament. Would the committee really consider
- 6:50Speaker 1: James Madison as that twelfth and final team or are
- 6:54Speaker 1: they fighting a hopeless battle there?
- 6:57Speaker 2: Well, given the kind of carnage that were watching in
- 7:00Speaker 2: the American and the fact that San Diego State went
- 7:03Speaker 2: out and got beat at Hawaii, we're sitting here, I mean,
- 7:07Speaker 2: Navy's sitting at eight and two, tou Lane's at eight
- 7:11Speaker 2: and two, Tulane has the signature went over Duke. North
- 7:16Speaker 2: Texas is at nine and one. With a win over Navy,
- 7:20Speaker 2: North Texas as a twelve and one American Conference champion
- 7:26Speaker 2: would stay. It would be ahead of James Madison, but
- 7:30Speaker 2: the projections are that North Texas won't get there, which
- 7:33Speaker 2: is why JMU is getting all this love. The one
- 7:36Speaker 2: loss that James Madison had was to Louisville, which was
- 7:39Speaker 2: a pretty good team. They only lost by a couple
- 7:41Speaker 2: of touchdowns. So Bob Chesney, who's being rivered for some
- 7:46Speaker 2: jobs out there and included amongst his UCLA, has done
- 7:51Speaker 2: a nice job with JMU. And if you're trying to
- 7:54Speaker 2: capture a little of that signetti magic, why wouldn't you
- 7:57Speaker 2: go back there and see if you can pluck another
- 7:59Speaker 2: one of those guys?
- 8:00Speaker 1: Why not?
- 8:01Speaker 4: Un Yeah, this is that year or that week that
- 8:06Speaker 4: typically happens, and it's one that's kind of argued about.
- 8:09Speaker 4: It seems like every single year, and understandably so. Where
- 8:11Speaker 4: the SEC, I mean, like the few top teams in
- 8:14Speaker 4: the SEC, Alabama's playing Eastern Illinois, George's playing Charlotte, and
- 8:20Speaker 4: Texas A and M's planning Sanford. I mean, is this
- 8:22Speaker 4: a thing if we were to fast forward a week
- 8:24Speaker 4: from now, We'll talk to you next week as well,
- 8:27Speaker 4: but that you could see the committee punishing these.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Guys for doing that.
- 8:31Speaker 4: If all of a sudden they stand pat and win
- 8:33Speaker 4: by forty, but another team that's playing somebody of their
- 8:37Speaker 4: caliber wins, they could end up losing a spot in
- 8:40Speaker 4: this thing.
- 8:41Speaker 2: From your lips to God's ears, Bucky. But no, they're
- 8:45Speaker 2: not going to punish him. This was a genius move
- 8:48Speaker 2: years ago by Mike Slive and I pointed it out
- 8:51Speaker 2: years ago on the PAC twelve network, and no one
- 8:54Speaker 2: took heed. I mean, it's just an absolute gamesmanship by
- 8:58Speaker 2: moving one of your ear by games, one of those
- 9:01Speaker 2: you know, easy games. And remember, the SEC, at least
- 9:05Speaker 2: this season is still only playing eight conference games. So
- 9:08Speaker 2: to put this right in the in the penultimate weekend
- 9:11Speaker 2: of the season and to say that that's a game
- 9:14Speaker 2: while everybody else is beating each other's brains out in
- 9:17Speaker 2: all these conference races, you can understand.
- 9:20Speaker 1: How they went.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Right to the top of the charts in the CFP.
- 9:24Speaker 2: It was brilliantly done and it was the Mike's Live
- 9:27Speaker 2: idea and they still do it. And so we've got
- 9:31Speaker 2: Charlotte at Georgia, We've got Mercer at Auburn, Eastern Illinois
- 9:35Speaker 2: at Alabama. I call these the reindeer games, Coastal Carolina
- 9:39Speaker 2: at South Carolina, and Western Kentucky at LSU. Last week
- 9:44Speaker 2: it was Tennessee Tech at Kentucky. So yeah, make of
- 9:48Speaker 2: it what you will, but it is Stamford at Texas
- 9:52Speaker 2: A and M a thriller this week. That will make
- 9:55Speaker 2: five teams that A and M has played this year
- 9:58Speaker 2: who no longer have their head coach that started to
- 10:01Speaker 2: see this.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Wow, coach killer. Why the reindeer games? Am I not
- 10:06Speaker 1: catching onto something here? Why do you call them the
- 10:08Speaker 1: rain I'm just just.
- 10:10Speaker 2: The reindeer games just because they're just ridiculous games. Okay,
- 10:14Speaker 2: you know they shouldn't be there. I mean, but it's
- 10:17Speaker 2: genius scheduling, and it's because of the damage of a
- 10:21Speaker 2: late loss as compared to an early loss. Just put
- 10:25Speaker 2: these in there at the end and let everybody else
- 10:27Speaker 2: lose and the committee just doesn't catch on.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Alabama facing the Island of Misfit Toys Tech this weekend.
- 10:35Speaker 1: There you go, great program. George's only favored over Charlotte
- 10:39Speaker 1: by forty five? Is that all.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Charlie in the box playing quarterback in that one?
- 10:44Speaker 1: I think he's at Island of Misfit Toys A and
- 10:47Speaker 1: M if I'm not mistaken. Rick new Isle is with
- 10:50Speaker 1: US our College Football Insider. Of course, he does the
- 10:53Speaker 1: same thing for CBS Sports and he's got a few
- 10:56Speaker 1: coaching credentials former UDUB head coach as we all know,
- 11:01Speaker 1: and a segment with us every week is brought to
- 11:03Speaker 1: you by Taco Time. All right, let's get to some
- 11:05Speaker 1: of these more intriguing games this weekend, and Big ten
- 11:09Speaker 1: might own the most intriguing one with the Oregon hosting USC.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like Lincoln Riley has been skewed
- 11:18Speaker 1: by them by critics and understandably so ever since he
- 11:22Speaker 1: stepped foot on campus at USA. But don't look now,
- 11:26Speaker 1: he's actually got them in position to maybe make the tournament.
- 11:30Speaker 1: But he's going to need a win at Oregon. Can
- 11:32Speaker 1: he get that done?
- 11:35Speaker 2: This is going to be a great contest because they
- 11:39Speaker 2: have played gritty this year. You got to give Lincoln
- 11:42Speaker 2: credit for what they've done to kind of make themselves
- 11:48Speaker 2: a little bit more physical from a standpoint of running
- 11:52Speaker 2: the football. They've won a couple of, you know, basic
- 11:56Speaker 2: ground and pound type of games against both Michigan and
- 12:00Speaker 2: last week against Iowa. And when you win those kind
- 12:03Speaker 2: of games, you put yourself in position to play for
- 12:07Speaker 2: big prizes. And that's exactly what will take place in Eugene.
- 12:11Speaker 2: And give the Ducks credit to they went to Kinnick
- 12:14Speaker 2: Stadium and beat Iowa in Iowa weather and basically held
- 12:20Speaker 2: served and did so again a last week against Minnesota
- 12:23Speaker 2: on a Friday night. So this is going to be
- 12:25Speaker 2: a great game. I think Oregon has the advantage. I
- 12:29Speaker 2: think Oregon's probably a little bit more talented, except at
- 12:33Speaker 2: the wide receiver position. But if Dante More plays like
- 12:38Speaker 2: he did against Minnesota, I'm gonna take the Ducks.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And of course that's on CBS on CBS. Okay, all right,
- 12:46Speaker 1: I got the big one there. All right, how's this
- 12:48Speaker 1: ACC going to shake out? And will Georgia Tech versus
- 12:52Speaker 1: Pitt have a say in that? Big time?
- 12:56Speaker 2: Pitt gets to write their own story here at the end. Now,
- 12:59Speaker 2: they laid an egg against Notre Dame last week, but
- 13:03Speaker 2: if they can beat Georgia Tech, and Georgia Tech's defense
- 13:06Speaker 2: is given up massive chunks of yardage. So if this
- 13:09Speaker 2: Mason Hinchel, that freshman quarterback, can have a day again
- 13:13Speaker 2: and they can beat Georgia Tech at Georgia Tech, then
- 13:16Speaker 2: they'll get to play Miami the next week to get
- 13:19Speaker 2: a chance to be in the SEC excuse me, ACC Championship.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Virginia has a clear path. They just have Virginia Tech.
- 13:26Speaker 2: They get this week off. They get Virginia Tech next week.
- 13:29Speaker 2: But they've struggled against Virginia Tech over the a long time.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And you know who's sneaking around the chicken coop is SMU.
- 13:37Speaker 2: SMU only has one loss. They get Louisville at home
- 13:41Speaker 2: this week. Louisville lost again last week to Clemson, so
- 13:44Speaker 2: they're out. But if they knock off Louisville, then they're
- 13:47Speaker 2: going to go to cal to try to also be
- 13:50Speaker 2: in that number that can be playing in Charlotte. So
- 13:53Speaker 2: much still to be determined in the ACC, and there's
- 13:56Speaker 2: only going to be one team that.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Emerges, Cincinnati. B You is that a playoff game in essence?
- 14:02Speaker 1: Or Cincinnati? Do they have too big of a hurdle
- 14:05Speaker 1: to overcome?
- 14:07Speaker 2: Cincinnati can get there. If Cincinnati knocks off BYU, that
- 14:12Speaker 2: gives b YU the second loss in the conference and
- 14:16Speaker 2: that makes Cincinnati on par and they would own the tiebreaker. Unfortunately,
- 14:21Speaker 2: Cincinnati lost to Utah, so then other things come into play.
- 14:24Speaker 2: And I haven't done all that math yet, but Utah
- 14:29Speaker 2: is hoping like heck that Cincinnati can pull this off
- 14:32Speaker 2: so they can get themselves another chance at the Red Raiders.
- 14:36Speaker 2: But beat if your Brett, your Mark for and the
- 14:40Speaker 2: commissioner of the league. You want BYU to get to
- 14:44Speaker 2: Arlington against Texas Tech because those two teams, I think,
- 14:48Speaker 2: regardless of the outcome, would both get into the playoffs.
- 14:51Speaker 1: All right, nice? All right? So what is our Taco
- 14:54Speaker 1: Time pick of the week for this week?
- 14:58Speaker 2: I think we're going to take be YU at Cincinnati.
- 15:02Speaker 2: We're gonna take them. I think that they're they're worth
- 15:05Speaker 2: the look there, it was an impressive win getting off
- 15:09Speaker 2: the mat after losing last week to UH Texas Tech.
- 15:13Speaker 2: They came back and got TCU and got them soundly.
- 15:17Speaker 2: So I'm going to take the Cougars this week.
- 15:19Speaker 1: So you're not going to take Eastern Illinois on the
- 15:21Speaker 1: money line, That's what I'm gonna glean.
- 15:24Speaker 2: I'm deciding against it. Yeah, I'm trying to think of
- 15:29Speaker 2: another character from Rudolph to see if the island of
- 15:33Speaker 2: missed but toy? Who else could.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Be on the d L there? Well, Yukon Cornelius is out.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Great defensive line.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Is out with a pick axe injury.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Oh it happens way too often. Back up there, dangerous
- 15:51Speaker 1: place to play football. All right? Well, so last minute.
- 15:54Speaker 1: What I mean, Washington U c l A. I mean,
- 15:57Speaker 1: you've got ties to both these programs, and you got
- 16:00Speaker 1: a son coaching. I mean, what kind of memories does
- 16:04Speaker 1: that stir up in Rick new Heizel's past.
- 16:07Speaker 2: So the first time we played him, I'm the head
- 16:11Speaker 2: coach now at Washington. My first year, we beat Stanford,
- 16:15Speaker 2: and now we actually have a chance to go and
- 16:18Speaker 2: get ourselves into the Rose Bowl, win the conference. We've
- 16:22Speaker 2: got a path, and we go. But Marcus got hurt
- 16:26Speaker 2: against Stanford. Despite the fact that he set an NCAA
- 16:28Speaker 2: record three hundred yards passing in two hundred yards rushing,
- 16:32Speaker 2: he had hurt his backside, so to speak, and couldn't practice.
- 16:36Speaker 2: So we get there and he's going to play, but
- 16:38Speaker 2: I mean he's stiff as a board, and so we
- 16:41Speaker 2: struggle a little bit offensively. We kick a fifty six
- 16:45Speaker 2: yard field goal to get ourselves into overtime. John Anderson
- 16:48Speaker 2: hit it, and now we're going to go into overtime,
- 16:51Speaker 2: and he's trying to hit I think he's trying to
- 16:55Speaker 2: hit Todd Elstrom on a corner route, or maybe he
- 16:58Speaker 2: was trying to hit Jeremy Steve on a steam route
- 17:01Speaker 2: and he should have been thrown it to Elstrom on
- 17:03Speaker 2: the corner route, and we threw a pick and end
- 17:06Speaker 2: up losing in overtime to UCLA. We'd beat Washington State
- 17:10Speaker 2: the next week, and the ifs and butts just kicked
- 17:13Speaker 2: flowing through my mind. But I'll tell you all those
- 17:15Speaker 2: kids were back last week for the reunion of that
- 17:20Speaker 2: twenty five year reunion of the Rose Bowl team, and
- 17:23Speaker 2: they had a blast. I got a great picture, a
- 17:25Speaker 2: bunch of smiling faces of some forty year olds that
- 17:28Speaker 2: have a memory for a lifetime.
- 17:30Speaker 1: That's awesome. All right, Well, enjoy the football this weekend
- 17:33Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you next Tuesday.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Appreciate it. See you now.
- 17:37Speaker 1: The one the only Rick new Isil joining us right
- 17:39Speaker 1: here on Chucking Buck in the morning is segment brought
- 17:42Speaker 1: to you by the Delicious Food at Taco time. They
- 17:46Speaker 1: buy their own advertising. The food is just that advanced,
- 17:49Speaker 1: all right. Coming up next, the old Judge stops by
- 17:52Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. The one hundred
- 17:55Speaker 1: and fourth is now in the courtroom.
- 18:03Speaker 4: That means, thank you, great great grandchildren for continuing the lineage.
- 18:10Speaker 5: I only rise for the first, only for the first do.
- 18:16Speaker 1: It way back at the beginning of time.
- 18:18Speaker 5: It's where my allegiance lies.
- 18:19Speaker 1: There was thag and there was arg Yep, and then
- 18:24Speaker 1: there was Cornelius Buckhole Jacobson. The first they lived in
- 18:28Speaker 1: a cave together the way back in the.
- 18:31Speaker 5: Day, and then they created like a little table, and
- 18:35Speaker 5: that's where they ruled on the things of the land.
- 18:37Speaker 1: That's how you end up with one hundred table we
- 18:40Speaker 1: invented the wheel with. Yeah, that's how I end up
- 18:42Speaker 1: with one hundred four generations of Jacobson. The just start early,
- 18:45Speaker 1: one hundred four generations of corn Holes. All right, well,
- 18:48Speaker 1: let's get into it. The old judges here, we've got
- 18:52Speaker 1: some topics to discuss in his courtroom. Here's how it works.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I'll bring up a subject, Ashley and I discuss it briefly,
- 18:59Speaker 1: and then once the judge has heard enough, he bangs
- 19:03Speaker 1: his gabble gabble, gabble gabble. Ashley and I have to
- 19:06Speaker 1: zip it, and the old judge weighs in.
- 19:10Speaker 4: And you guys don't always zip it, uh, And so
- 19:13Speaker 4: there's a good chance that you will be thrown into
- 19:16Speaker 4: old judge jail.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Okay, I try to zip it.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Did you ever try Old judge, jail, do you ever
- 19:21Speaker 1: spend any time.
- 19:22Speaker 5: No, but I'm not opposed to it.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Yeah, don't eat the gum.
- 19:25Speaker 5: Oh that's probably a good idea. Thank you for the
- 19:27Speaker 5: tip before I head him there.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that. All right, let's get it started.
- 19:31Speaker 1: This courtroom would be perfectly fine with Ben Williamson starting
- 19:36Speaker 1: at third base on opening day twenty twenty six.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Well, I think this courtroom probably would be totally fine
- 19:43Speaker 5: with Ben Williamson starting at third because his defense is
- 19:47Speaker 5: very good. It's just the bat that concerns me. But
- 19:51Speaker 5: maybe he's had enough time. He'll you know, he's got
- 19:54Speaker 5: to you got to get the reps to get better.
- 19:57Speaker 1: I think i's lying, old judge. I think she wants Gino,
- 19:59Speaker 1: and she's angry that I'm even mentioning this. That's what
- 20:02Speaker 1: I think. I think you might be right. I think
- 20:06Speaker 1: she's perjuring herself. Don't do that.
- 20:09Speaker 5: Well, you said this courtroom not necessarily me only, it's
- 20:13Speaker 5: never just you will. Yeah, so that's why I'm saying yes.
- 20:16Speaker 5: So I'm saying the courtroom. I think the consensus, I
- 20:19Speaker 5: would guess would be that people would be fine. I
- 20:23Speaker 5: still love Gino. I have a big geno size heart.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I would be fine. I mean, I'm not saying that's
- 20:30Speaker 1: my choice. I would be fine. If Ben Williamson ends
- 20:33Speaker 1: up being our starting third basement at the beginning of
- 20:35Speaker 1: the next year, I'm willing to give him another shot
- 20:37Speaker 1: at it. Number two. I do believe that this organization
- 20:40Speaker 1: kind of likes the way things unfolded last year, and
- 20:43Speaker 1: they kind of liked the idea of getting to the
- 20:45Speaker 1: trade deadline and then deciding how we're gonna plug what
- 20:48Speaker 1: we might have as holes. And then the third thing
- 20:52Speaker 1: is cold. Emerson's going to be ready sooner than later,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and I think there's chance he'll be our third basement
- 20:57Speaker 1: at some point next year and eventually the short stop
- 21:00Speaker 1: replacing Gabble gabl Gavel Gavel.
- 21:04Speaker 4: I do think you're right on the colt Emerson will
- 21:07Speaker 4: eventually be our shortstop. And yet if he is, if
- 21:11Speaker 4: he's quick, and if he's ready to go at some
- 21:13Speaker 4: point next year, it could be coming out of spring training.
- 21:15Speaker 4: I don't think that anyone if they let Gino go,
- 21:19Speaker 4: which you know, if he ends up signing somewhere else,
- 21:21Speaker 4: and I assume that is going to happen, because he's
- 21:23Speaker 4: gonna get some big money, and they're probably not gonna
- 21:25Speaker 4: want a pony up for that. They've already shown their
- 21:28Speaker 4: hand that they're willing to let him go. They think
- 21:30Speaker 4: there's another way in which you can block and tackle
- 21:32Speaker 4: that position. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's the
- 21:37Speaker 4: way in which it goes. And yet I think Ben
- 21:39Speaker 4: Williamson kind of if there's a one or a one,
- 21:42Speaker 4: A one B, however the depth chart looks at this point,
- 21:46Speaker 4: I think he is number one, and I'll be fine
- 21:47Speaker 4: with that because he saves your runs defensively, and he
- 21:50Speaker 4: grinds out AB's, he tries, and he's he only had,
- 21:53Speaker 4: you know, two hundred and seventy AB's last year. He
- 21:55Speaker 4: didn't play all that long. And yet I saw moments
- 21:59Speaker 4: of growth where he understands his role. He puts the
- 22:01Speaker 4: ball in player, tries to put the ball in play,
- 22:03Speaker 4: and at times he was making some stuff happen. There's
- 22:07Speaker 4: there's just a lot of growth that needs to happen
- 22:09Speaker 4: for me to consider him the guy that I want
- 22:11Speaker 4: playing third when it's time to go win a World Series.
- 22:14Speaker 1: The next professional athlete to intentionally spit on an opponent
- 22:18Speaker 1: should just be suspended. For the rest of the season.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I think if you are intentionally spitting on an opponent,
- 22:24Speaker 5: then yes, because clearly this is happening too often now.
- 22:27Speaker 5: And then you know, like with Jamar Chase's argument apparently
- 22:31Speaker 5: for his suspension is well, if I wanted to spit
- 22:34Speaker 5: on Janalin Ramsey, I would have spit on his face.
- 22:37Speaker 5: Like that's that's not a good argument, Like spitting should
- 22:40Speaker 5: never happen. There's no place for it. It is incredibly disgusting,
- 22:44Speaker 5: It is beyond rude, and there's no there should be
- 22:47Speaker 5: no place for that in sports. In life, you should
- 22:49Speaker 5: never spit on another human.
- 22:50Speaker 1: I just don't know how the message hasn't gotten clear. Yeah,
- 22:55Speaker 1: we don't allow this in professional sports, is any kind
- 22:58Speaker 1: of sport. We just don't allow that kind of disrespect
- 23:01Speaker 1: to your opponent, and so I don't know what it's
- 23:05Speaker 1: going to take to get through to them. It's the
- 23:07Speaker 1: same thing with carrying the ball over the goal line.
- 23:11Speaker 1: How many times are we going to see such stupidity.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I think maybe you should just do that. If you
- 23:16Speaker 1: can't carry the ball over the goal line, or if
- 23:20Speaker 1: you spit on some other human being, you should just
- 23:23Speaker 1: be suspended for the rest of the season without cavel
- 23:25Speaker 1: Cavel cavel one percent.
- 23:27Speaker 4: I don't understand the idea of I mean, sportsmanship used
- 23:31Speaker 4: to be something that was taught, and I get that
- 23:34Speaker 4: when tempers flare, you do things. I mean, I'm also
- 23:38Speaker 4: one that sits here and says I'm okay with a
- 23:40Speaker 4: brawl breaking out in sports Well, is what's worse punching
- 23:43Speaker 4: somebody in the face or spitting on their chest? I mean, well,
- 23:47Speaker 4: I think spitting is more disrespectful. Yeah, but it's not worse.
- 23:51Speaker 4: It doesn't really hurt you.
- 23:53Speaker 1: And yet you have daggers bleeding from spit.
- 24:00Speaker 5: Oh wow, that's my skin's melting off.
- 24:02Speaker 4: What sur covid If you spit you would be attempted murder? Yeah,
- 24:07Speaker 4: basically you even got within six feet. You were trying
- 24:10Speaker 4: to kill somebody.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Yeah I know, like, yeah, yeah, you're trying to kill me.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Breathe It's I I just think that you got to
- 24:18Speaker 4: figure out a way to nip it in the bud
- 24:19Speaker 4: because it's not the one game suspension. And Jamar Chase,
- 24:23Speaker 4: like you said, he's he's going to appeal it, even
- 24:26Speaker 4: though you were caught on camera spitting on him. How
- 24:33Speaker 4: does a loogi just accidentally just shoot out of your
- 24:36Speaker 4: mouth while you're arguing with an opponent.
- 24:38Speaker 1: It need to go so dumb that you're even trying.
- 24:41Speaker 4: You don't just say yeah, I did, and it's a
- 24:44Speaker 4: bad look and I shouldn't do it. He pisses me
- 24:46Speaker 4: off and he said something and I wanted to spit
- 24:48Speaker 4: on him. That's not the way to handle it. I
- 24:50Speaker 4: should have waited until the next time that I could
- 24:52Speaker 4: try to run him over and do it instead. He didn't,
- 24:55Speaker 4: So yeah, suspend him, and I think it needs to
- 24:57Speaker 4: be more substantial. Otherwise these guys don't care about one game.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Especially he's probably good. I could take another bye week.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I love that in the and it's getting worked up.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Old Judge actually used the phrase who bitterly? Who I really?
- 25:14Speaker 1: I don't know how I knew that playing for one thing. Yeah,
- 25:21Speaker 1: number three? Enough is enough? Ken Walker, first string, Zach Charbonay,
- 25:26Speaker 1: back up, George hallany mop up duty? That's it. That's
- 25:30Speaker 1: the depth chart.
- 25:31Speaker 5: Yes, I was when we were talking about this earlier
- 25:33Speaker 5: and Greg was saying, you think it was Yeah. Greg
- 25:36Speaker 5: was saying, oh, well, now, yes they are. I asked,
- 25:39Speaker 5: I asked Mike McDonald about it, and now they are
- 25:41Speaker 5: going to start to work ken Walker into more plays.
- 25:44Speaker 5: Now with seven games left, you you're now going to
- 25:47Speaker 5: start your starting running back working into more plays. And
- 25:50Speaker 5: I understand they've been nursing this foot injury whatever ankle injury,
- 25:54Speaker 5: but I think I don't understand it. The running game
- 25:57Speaker 5: hasn't been as successful as he wanted to be because
- 26:00Speaker 5: don't have your starter in there.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Clear cut, Charbon is just situational and when Walker needs
- 26:04Speaker 1: a rest, that's it. Yep, cavel, cavel, cavel.
- 26:08Speaker 4: I'm with you guys as far as if we want
- 26:10Speaker 4: the run, if you want the run game to be
- 26:12Speaker 4: like highly effective, that's more than just well, they have
- 26:16Speaker 4: to honor it because we will hand the ball off
- 26:18Speaker 4: a bunch of times. And then, yes, your best best
- 26:20Speaker 4: runner is ken Walker. And we've all seen that a
- 26:23Speaker 4: guy can get into a flow and all of a
- 26:25Speaker 4: sudden it can benefit him. I'll say this, and I don't.
- 26:27Speaker 4: I don't live and die by PFF rankings. And yet,
- 26:33Speaker 4: just in this last game, and it's been this has
- 26:35Speaker 4: been a trend for more than just this last game.
- 26:38Speaker 4: The best pass blocker on the team was Zach Charboney.
- 26:42Speaker 4: The worst was Olo Timmy the second worst was Ken Walker.
- 26:47Speaker 1: It is a factor. That's a factor, and so you.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Can't just say, okay, when we're going to pass Zach charbonaey,
- 26:53Speaker 4: you go in there, because then you'd give it a
- 26:55Speaker 4: and hey, when we're gonna run, now, can you go
- 26:57Speaker 4: in the game. And they're like, oh, well they're running
- 26:59Speaker 4: here because they never You know, you don't want your
- 27:01Speaker 4: quarterback to not be able to check to a pass
- 27:02Speaker 4: play because he feels like the guy's standing beside me
- 27:05Speaker 4: or behind me is not capable of picking up where
- 27:08Speaker 4: we send him. So that could be part of the reason.
- 27:11Speaker 4: And the fact that they're trying to keep him healthy.
- 27:12Speaker 1: For the long haul. All of that stuff plays into it.
- 27:14Speaker 4: So I think there's still is going to be a
- 27:16Speaker 4: timeshare even if they get implement more runs for all Right.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Fair enough, let's close with the phone. We got closed
- 27:21Speaker 1: with a fun one. Even though we're late seeing Bruce
- 27:23Speaker 1: arians rock the Keangle had on TV right now. I
- 27:28Speaker 1: could see Bucky becoming a Cagle hat guy in the
- 27:32Speaker 1: next year or two.
- 27:33Speaker 6: Yes, please, yep, I could see Cavel Cavel. It's already
- 27:38Speaker 6: owned one. Well, so I don't really try to do
- 27:42Speaker 6: much dressing to come here. I have warned a couple times.
- 27:45Speaker 6: I almost wore it on TV.
- 27:46Speaker 4: A couple of years ago when I was doing one
- 27:48Speaker 4: of the I almost rocked it, but it didn't match
- 27:51Speaker 4: my vest that day.
- 27:53Speaker 1: A little bit of a different too much of a
- 27:55Speaker 1: different shade. You need numerous caangles I do need to
- 27:58Speaker 1: match anything. I need to step my Cagle game up. Yeah,
- 28:01Speaker 1: I could see you doing that me too. Even a pipe,
- 28:03Speaker 1: like just going into like a classier version of yourself. Okay,
- 28:07Speaker 1: tweet caangle, a pipe, yeah, maybe a monocle.
- 28:11Speaker 5: Maybe a sweater your shoulders, anything else, sweater in your pocket, yeah, monicle,
- 28:19Speaker 5: tweet jack cane, Yeah necessary.
- 28:25Speaker 1: It's such a that's such a boss move when you
- 28:28Speaker 1: don't even have a limp and you have.
- 28:29Speaker 5: A you're that guy from boys Cement at that point
- 28:32Speaker 5: and nobody knows really what the king was for.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Forget the monica. I was kidding about that caangle and Caine.
- 28:37Speaker 5: Okay, that's a good company.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Busted out tomorrow coming up next. One last thing, kJ R.
- 28:43Speaker 4: You're out the way to nip it in the bud
- 28:44Speaker 4: because it's not the one game suspension and Jamar Chase,
- 28:48Speaker 4: like you said, he's he's going to appeal it, even
- 28:51Speaker 4: though you were caught on camera spitting on him intentional.
- 28:58Speaker 1: How does a loogie? Just accidentally.
- 29:01Speaker 4: I did say billy, who oh who?
- 29:08Speaker 1: Every time?
- 29:09Speaker 5: Who know how you heard that though? Because I didn't,
- 29:14Speaker 5: I miss that entirely.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I didn't hear it. It came out of my mouth. I
- 29:17Speaker 1: want you to introduce it is part of your glossary
- 29:20Speaker 1: of terms every time you got a problem with something.
- 29:25Speaker 5: Okay, the old judge.
- 29:29Speaker 1: He'll loan it out everyone to me. I want it
- 29:33Speaker 1: right in the middle of Hugh milling analysis. Oh Billy, Hugh.
- 29:38Speaker 5: He will be like, who you calling a baby?
- 29:39Speaker 1: Billy? Who you? That's a great that's a good one.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Who by who? You and your mumbo jumbo know what
- 29:48Speaker 1: that means?
- 29:49Speaker 5: It means anything doesn't need to It's provocative. Who gets
- 29:53Speaker 5: the people going all right? By the way, I was
- 29:56Speaker 5: also thinking about it. Not a cane, No, the person
- 30:02Speaker 5: that rocks the staff. It's not just for wizards and
- 30:05Speaker 5: warlocks anymore.
- 30:06Speaker 1: No, you've come out vikings.
- 30:09Speaker 4: Ah, sure sta staff go with a cagle it you
- 30:14Speaker 4: never had for a staff.
- 30:16Speaker 1: No, you don't want to. Because I did see somebody
- 30:18Speaker 1: dressed like Gandalf at the bookstore the other day. Did
- 30:21Speaker 1: you you don't want to go that way? You're creating
- 30:23Speaker 1: a new look. Oh look this is me, This is
- 30:28Speaker 1: part of me. Okay, yeah, so a Cagle. You just
- 30:31Speaker 1: got to get the right staff pipe staff.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Staff's gonna make or break it.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta get the right one, all right. One
- 30:38Speaker 1: last thing, what do we go? What do you got?
- 30:40Speaker 4: I last night, I don't know if you guys ever
- 30:41Speaker 4: watched the el the Manning cast thing anymore? I switch around,
- 30:45Speaker 4: I mean, which sometimes it just gets on one and
- 30:47Speaker 4: I stay there. But yesterday I gave the Manning Cast
- 30:50Speaker 4: one a good a good watch for part of the
- 30:53Speaker 4: game last night, and it just made me reminded me
- 30:56Speaker 4: of one of the things that I missed the most
- 30:58Speaker 4: about playing is the the joking, just joking, not altogether pranks.
- 31:04Speaker 4: But Eli Manning brought up a prank they had Derek
- 31:08Speaker 4: Carr on and they were talking about what he did
- 31:12Speaker 4: to him at his first Pro Bowl, Derek Carr's first
- 31:14Speaker 4: Pro Bowl that he said, Hey, man, what room are
- 31:17Speaker 4: you at? And Derek Carr thought, oh wow, Eli's being nice.
- 31:20Speaker 4: He's like being a friend, and he said, send me
- 31:22Speaker 4: something send something up to my room. No, he just
- 31:25Speaker 4: asked what room he was in so he could charge
- 31:27Speaker 4: all of the offensive lineman's drinks to his room.
- 31:30Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, like that is awesome.
- 31:34Speaker 1: That is awesome. I was last week.
- 31:37Speaker 4: I was hanging out somewhere and a buddy of mine
- 31:40Speaker 4: played its Rain and Men that song, and so I
- 31:42Speaker 4: told the story of how I changed my buddy's walk
- 31:45Speaker 4: up song. Yeah, he's just getting ready to go up
- 31:47Speaker 4: there and battle and compete, and it's Rain and Men.
- 31:51Speaker 4: And he turns around and our whole dougout was dying
- 31:53Speaker 4: laughing because we all knew what was happening.
- 31:56Speaker 1: He didn't.
- 31:56Speaker 4: He struck out. Then he was really mad. But anyway,
- 31:59Speaker 4: it's just stuff like that I miss. Yeah, we need
- 32:01Speaker 4: to bring it back, start bringing it, doing it here.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:04Speaker 5: I like pranks. Let's keep doing Let's start him here
- 32:07Speaker 5: a little bit.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Little yeah, you know, not like blowing up somebody's car. No, okay,
- 32:13Speaker 1: Oh I.
- 32:15Speaker 5: Should take the dynamite out.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, take that. Yeah, let's remove that.
- 32:20Speaker 5: I think I think I went too far too quick.
- 32:23Speaker 5: One last thing, well, I was going to use this
- 32:25Speaker 5: Jamar Chase thing, but we ended up talking about it.
- 32:27Speaker 5: In the old Judge. But I just thought, as who
- 32:31Speaker 5: I just thought as I was reading it, like that's
- 32:33Speaker 5: the thing that I can't understand is, Yeah, you are
- 32:35Speaker 5: on film spitting on another person, and you're going to
- 32:39Speaker 5: say if I was trying to spit on him, I
- 32:41Speaker 5: would have spit on his face. Like that's a good argument.
- 32:45Speaker 5: And so then what is it that, yeah, you spit,
- 32:48Speaker 5: but you missed his face. And I mean, I don't know.
- 32:51Speaker 5: I just think, as as we talked about in there,
- 32:53Speaker 5: I think, honestly, as silly, maybe as it sounds, are overreactive,
- 32:57Speaker 5: maybe as it sounds to suspend anyone that does that
- 32:59Speaker 5: for the entire season. Yeah, you don't. You don't have
- 33:02Speaker 5: respect for the people you're playing, so you shouldn't be playing.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I'm just tired of hearing about it. How can it's
- 33:07Speaker 1: just like just like not holding onto the ball past
- 33:10Speaker 1: the goal line? Like how many times this have to happen?
- 33:12Speaker 1: How many times people have to get embarrassed? How many
- 33:14Speaker 1: times do people have to hear the lecture how disrespectful
- 33:16Speaker 1: this is, and it somehow just keeps continuing. What is
- 33:18Speaker 1: it that is natural in you that you would ever
- 33:22Speaker 1: come to the point.
- 33:23Speaker 5: That's what I can't figure out. Yeah, the natural reaction
- 33:25Speaker 5: would be punch him, hit him something.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, I'll close with this and this
- 33:29Speaker 1: will be really quick. I mean he might feel twenty
- 33:32Speaker 1: four at age forty four, but Mike Bnton's the first
- 33:35Speaker 1: guy eliminated from our fantasy football league. Nice season, four
- 33:39Speaker 1: year old.
- 33:39Speaker 5: Good job. Yeah, work that one out.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you might feel twenty years younger, but you're
- 33:45Speaker 1: not twenty years better. Yeah yeah, sucker.
- 33:48Speaker 7: Well I just pulled off a trade with him. Oh
- 33:50Speaker 7: is that right? Yeah, I might have to. I'm as commissioner.
- 33:53Speaker 7: I might have to blow the whistle. He's been eliminated.
- 33:56Speaker 7: What is he going to get out of it? Well,
- 33:58Speaker 7: it still is a fair he actually I offered.
- 34:01Speaker 4: Him one that had been way more in my favor first,
- 34:04Speaker 4: and he came back with We went back and forth.
- 34:06Speaker 4: Most I need a running back, so I got hit
- 34:09Speaker 4: the backup. I got Dave Montgomery. He's a backup, but
- 34:11Speaker 4: he still can be good.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Still. Troy Franklin feels like a load of who Btterley,
- 34:15Speaker 1: who if you have running back?
- 34:18Speaker 4: Somebody did try to veto it we need somebody did
- 34:20Speaker 4: try to video veto the trade.
- 34:22Speaker 5: I don't know who did.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Really, I didn't even know that you could do that.
- 34:26Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for us. Thanks for being
