Speaker 1: Each time to talk all things college football.
0:03
Speaker 2: It's just like the menu at Taco Time. You just
0:06
Speaker 2: can't get enough, you just can't get nothing.
0:08
Speaker 3: This is our weekly visit with Rick Neuheisel, brought to
0:11
Speaker 3: you by Taco Time.
0:12
Speaker 2: Nachos new Heidels used to be a moniker of mine.
0:15
Speaker 2: I mean, just so you know.
0:16
Speaker 3: Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's Nacho's
0:20
Speaker 3: new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
0:24
Speaker 3: R FM.
0:26
Speaker 2: This is college football, and I want you to get
0:28
Speaker 2: it all over yourself.
0:31
Speaker 1: Hi, Good morning, nine o'clock hour here on this Tuesday morning,
0:36
Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan, Bucky Jacobson, and Chuck Powell with you. The
0:39
Speaker 1: old Judge stops by today at nine thirty and Rick
0:44
Speaker 1: new Isiel expected to join us here this morning, as
0:47
Speaker 1: obvious by the intro that we just played. But we
0:50
Speaker 1: don't have contact with him yet. You know, all those
0:52
Speaker 1: new responsibilities he's got Dallas Renegade's head coach, you know,
0:58
Speaker 1: father of the now famous Jerry High. You know, there's
1:02
Speaker 1: just a lot still the CBS sports college football guys.
1:06
Speaker 1: Who's got big games to prepare for. I would imagine
1:09
Speaker 1: Rick new Eil's got a few irons in the fire.
1:11
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, but I mean I don't know where
1:14
Speaker 4: we're at. You know, he's got a full plate of things,
1:16
Speaker 4: you know, but I don't consider us like the green
1:18
Speaker 4: beans that are on the plate.
1:20
Speaker 1: You know, probably the priority.
1:21
Speaker 4: Probably I would think at least at least like a
1:24
Speaker 4: steak bite, you know what I mean, like something, maybe
1:26
Speaker 4: not the whole steak. But he better show up because
1:30
Speaker 4: I need to talk to him about coach football.
1:32
Speaker 1: I do too, I do too. Yeah, I think we're
1:34
Speaker 1: the steak in the gravy.
1:35
Speaker 5: You think that's the way we are, Okay?
1:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I'm gonna give us.
1:38
Speaker 4: I feel more like I'm mashed potatoes. But that's good,
1:42
Speaker 4: all right?
1:42
Speaker 1: Joining us now is Coach new Issel. I mean, yeah,
1:46
Speaker 1: I know you're busy these days, so you know we
1:49
Speaker 1: appreciate you making time for us here.
1:50
Speaker 5: Coach.
1:51
Speaker 2: I've got you both on my list of guys to
1:54
Speaker 2: contact about signing with the Dallas Renegade.
1:58
Speaker 5: I just want you to.
1:58
Speaker 2: Know that, Yeah, I've looked at some film and both
2:01
Speaker 2: of you can help us. Well, I'm not going to
2:03
Speaker 2: tell you exactly how, but I'm just going to tell
2:06
Speaker 2: you can help us.
2:07
Speaker 1: Last time I played football. I was a varsity one
2:11
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five pound tight end slash defensive end.
2:15
Speaker 1: You got use for that?
2:17
Speaker 2: I do I have use for that?
2:20
Speaker 1: Were holding the far side.
2:22
Speaker 2: Of the chains? Okay, actually I'm not sure we have that.
2:28
Speaker 2: In the report, you might see the chain of.
2:31
Speaker 4: That lay down Chuck stretch out.
2:38
Speaker 2: Duck says, it's the first down renegade.
2:40
Speaker 1: First, it's first in Chuck out here in Dallas. Well, Bucky,
2:48
Speaker 1: Bucky's actually been training, so he might be closer to
2:51
Speaker 1: being ready for you.
2:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was pretty broke down there, Coach. I
2:56
Speaker 4: think I could probably just hold up a spot. I mean,
2:59
Speaker 4: like lay down like they try to defend the tush push.
3:02
Speaker 4: I can lay down in front of the center.
3:05
Speaker 1: Well, you've heard.
3:06
Speaker 2: The term gap. You've heard the term gap control. You
3:09
Speaker 2: just have the A gap. I won't tell you how
3:10
Speaker 2: to do it. You just be in the A gap.
3:12
Speaker 1: There you go.
3:13
Speaker 5: I'll give it a shot.
3:14
Speaker 1: Will you use the tush push now that you're back
3:16
Speaker 1: in coaching, is that something you can't wait to unleash?
3:20
Speaker 2: You know, it's an I don't like to play esthetically.
3:24
Speaker 2: It's unpleasing to me. Now I understand that if you're
3:27
Speaker 2: really good at it that you don't want to give
3:29
Speaker 2: it away, which the Eagles have been incredibly successful with it.
3:34
Speaker 2: But it just doesn't feel like football. And yet that
3:39
Speaker 2: was the beginnings of football, and I thought we remember
3:42
Speaker 2: triculated away from it, so I would vote it out.
3:45
Speaker 5: I voted that.
3:45
Speaker 1: So we won't see that in the Renegades game plan.
3:49
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk a little college football. I
3:51
Speaker 1: thought Hannah's Storm was lying to me this morning. And
3:55
Speaker 1: I don't know why Hannah would lie to me. When
3:58
Speaker 1: I heard her say that there are over forty eight
4:00
Speaker 1: hundred players and the transfer portal. Right now, I'm starting
4:04
Speaker 1: to do the math and Mike, are there even five
4:06
Speaker 1: thousand players in college football? And I mean, that is
4:10
Speaker 1: just staggering to me. So we talked about it a
4:13
Speaker 1: little bit earlier this morning. Bucky's like, that just cannot be.
4:16
Speaker 1: That just cannot continue your reaction to knowing that five
4:21
Speaker 1: thousand players were not happy with the program that they
4:25
Speaker 1: were in and can now go without penalty somewhere else.
4:29
Speaker 2: Well, I think that it's important for people to realize
4:32
Speaker 2: that the portal is used in a variety of ways.
4:37
Speaker 2: Certainly the most notable way and the way that we
4:40
Speaker 2: all as fans look at it as players looking to
4:44
Speaker 2: make more money. That players go into that deal with
4:47
Speaker 2: an opportunity to earn more. And right now, the Arizona
4:52
Speaker 2: State quarterback Sam Levitt is out there in the wilderness.
4:56
Speaker 2: I think he's visiting LSU. I thought he visited maybe
5:00
Speaker 2: last night. Maybe he's still on campus there today, but
5:04
Speaker 2: he's in a catbird seat because the kid from Indiana,
5:09
Speaker 2: Brendan Soresby, already signed with Texas Tech, who has more
5:12
Speaker 2: money than God. And they so now Lane Kiffin, knowing
5:18
Speaker 2: that Trinidad Shambliss has said he's going to stay at
5:20
Speaker 2: Ole Miss if he gets the extra year of eligibility,
5:23
Speaker 2: lane kiffn has to get Sam Leather. He has to
5:26
Speaker 2: get him. So they're going to open their checkbook and
5:28
Speaker 2: pay it. That's one type of transfer, and there's a
5:31
Speaker 2: number of those kids out there, but not nearly as
5:34
Speaker 2: many as we think. The other portion of the transfer
5:38
Speaker 2: portal are people that are being pushed into it by
5:41
Speaker 2: either new coaching staffs or old coaching staffs that have
5:45
Speaker 2: deemed that that kid isn't as good as we thought
5:47
Speaker 2: he was, and so therefore we've encouraged him to go
5:50
Speaker 2: into the portal and find some place more suitable for him.
5:54
Speaker 2: That's what happens. More often than not. Coaches are using
5:58
Speaker 2: the portal to get rid of players that they find
6:00
Speaker 2: unproductive so that they can go out and get hopefully
6:05
Speaker 2: a better version of that same player. The old days
6:08
Speaker 2: of coaching, when I was a part of this is
6:12
Speaker 2: the adage was it's not those who you lose in
6:14
Speaker 2: recruiting that gets you beat.
6:16
Speaker 5: It's those who you.
6:17
Speaker 2: Get in recruiting that can't play that gets you beat.
6:21
Speaker 2: And now because of the portal, we are pushing those
6:24
Speaker 2: guys out of the program. And I find it kind
6:27
Speaker 2: of distasteful because we're the ones who went in those
6:30
Speaker 2: living rooms and said, hey, this kid's going to be
6:33
Speaker 2: wonderful in our program, and now we're basically, four months later,
6:37
Speaker 2: able to excommunicate him because he didn't turn out as
6:41
Speaker 2: good as we thought he was. To me, there's the
6:44
Speaker 2: problem in college athletics. We don't owe these kids anything
6:47
Speaker 2: in our minds if they don't produce on the field.
6:50
Speaker 2: And yet we were in there not so very long
6:52
Speaker 2: ago promising an education and we're not delivering on that.
6:56
Speaker 4: I'm with you, coach. It just seems ugly. I mean,
6:58
Speaker 4: maybe more, maybe earlier than the Toush push. Even I
7:02
Speaker 4: don't know how long you can sustain it the way well,
7:04
Speaker 4: I mean, we've.
7:05
Speaker 2: Got we've we've got we've got four teams left in
7:07
Speaker 2: the college football playoff, right. Trinidad Shambliss is the quarterback
7:11
Speaker 2: at ole Miss. He's a transfer from farri State Division two.
7:15
Speaker 2: That story we love, that story, we absolutely love. Then
7:19
Speaker 2: we've got Carson Beck, That's who Ole Miss will play.
7:23
Speaker 2: Carson Beck left Georgia for four million dollars to go
7:27
Speaker 2: to Miami. That story we don't like. We don't sit
7:31
Speaker 2: there and think that that that story. Wait a minute,
7:33
Speaker 2: four million bucks? What are we doing here? And then
7:38
Speaker 2: you've got the other dame. You've got Fernando Mendoza who
7:42
Speaker 2: was going to Yale, got a late scholarship from cal
7:46
Speaker 2: and then got to go to Indiana, which obviously is
7:50
Speaker 2: doing well. And we don't mind that story. I don't
7:53
Speaker 2: know what Fernando's making. I have no idea what Signetti
7:56
Speaker 2: was able to offer him. We don't mind that story.
7:59
Speaker 2: And there playing Dante More who was at UCLA and
8:03
Speaker 2: transferred to Oregon and actually sat a year, and I
8:06
Speaker 2: know he was handsomely compensated. To remember he was recruited
8:09
Speaker 2: and committed to Oregon before going to UCLA for an
8:13
Speaker 2: attractive offer because Kenny Dillingham had left to go be
8:18
Speaker 2: the head coach at Arizona State. So we're okay, But
8:23
Speaker 2: the world that we're in right now, where Soresby's going
8:25
Speaker 2: to make five million bucks and all these guys are
8:28
Speaker 2: out there, it's a wilderness that is so new and
8:31
Speaker 2: so unfettered. It has to get fixed. And until we
8:35
Speaker 2: fix that, we're going to be unsettled in this industry.
8:38
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it requires a commissioner. I
8:40
Speaker 2: don't know if it requires collective bargaining. I don't know
8:44
Speaker 2: if it requires all of it, but I know it
8:46
Speaker 2: requires something, because no one's sitting here loving the situation
8:51
Speaker 2: that we're at, especially when we've got coaches coming and going,
8:54
Speaker 2: and now we've got two guys that coached in the
8:56
Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl that aren't going to coach in the Fiesta
8:59
Speaker 2: Bowl this week with old miss because Lane Kippen needs
9:02
Speaker 2: them to go get transfers. It just makes no sense.
9:05
Speaker 2: We're not finishing what we start. And we think about education.
9:08
Speaker 2: That's one of the first axioms that we think is
9:10
Speaker 2: important in life. Finish what you start to be committed,
9:13
Speaker 2: and we're doing anything but commitment.
9:16
Speaker 4: Good word, I'm with you, coach. All right, Well we
9:19
Speaker 4: were the college playoffs. We're heading towards the semi finals.
9:22
Speaker 4: But before we get into that, what was the biggest
9:25
Speaker 4: takeaway or standout thing that you saw in the quarterfinals?
9:29
Speaker 4: You know, Miami upset in Ohiose State, Oregon puts up
9:32
Speaker 4: a goose egg against Texas Tech, and then there's the
9:34
Speaker 4: blowout Indiana blowing out Alabama or Old Miss upset in Georgia.
9:38
Speaker 5: What was your biggest take away from that weekend?
9:41
Speaker 1: Well?
9:41
Speaker 2: They were all interesting and noteworthy. But Indiana's world is
9:48
Speaker 2: an incredible world. I can't emphasize it enough. There aren't
9:51
Speaker 2: enough exclamation points to say what Signetti has meant to
9:56
Speaker 2: that program. Do you realize prior to that Rose bulbvicktor
10:00
Speaker 2: over Alabama, which in and by itself a thirty five
10:03
Speaker 2: to three victory over Alabama is unbelievable. If I'd have
10:09
Speaker 2: told you two years ago Indiana will beat Alabama thirty
10:13
Speaker 2: five to three in a Rose Bowl, you'd have had
10:15
Speaker 2: me committed, you'd have had me committed, and yet there
10:18
Speaker 2: it was on display. The last bowl win that Indiana
10:23
Speaker 2: had prior to that was in the early nineties in
10:26
Speaker 2: what was called the Copper Bowl. That was the last
10:30
Speaker 2: time Indiana won a bowl game. Wow, in the early nineties,
10:34
Speaker 2: in what was called the Copper Bowl. That's what's happened.
10:38
Speaker 2: That's an incredible undertaking, and it's no accident. That was
10:42
Speaker 2: a bludgeting. He's got a great offensive line, he's got
10:45
Speaker 2: a great defensive line, but what he's really got is
10:48
Speaker 2: an NFL secondary. He's got NFL wide receivers, and he's
10:52
Speaker 2: got a quarterback who's brilliant that probably will be the
10:55
Speaker 2: first pick in the draft. And I wouldn't be surprised
10:58
Speaker 2: if the Raiders make a run at Signetti and say
11:01
Speaker 2: we want Signetti and and his quarterback. I wouldn't be
11:06
Speaker 2: surprised if that happens.
11:07
Speaker 1: That rumors going around a little bit out there right now.
11:11
Speaker 1: So does Oregon fare any better in the rematch against
11:16
Speaker 1: the Hoosiers on Friday.
11:19
Speaker 2: It will be a tremendous undertaking. Because you've got to
11:22
Speaker 2: remember that Will Stein is now he just got a
11:25
Speaker 2: quarterback at the Minshi kid, Kenny Minschie. He got him
11:30
Speaker 2: to flip from Nebraska to Kentucky. So imagine how many
11:33
Speaker 2: man hours in conversation hours that took to get that
11:37
Speaker 2: done to get him to come to Kentucky. While you're
11:40
Speaker 2: also getting ready to take on a defense that held
11:44
Speaker 2: you to forty one yards in the second half when
11:47
Speaker 2: you played the first time in Eugene. Yeah, I mean,
11:50
Speaker 2: how do you do all that? Are the receivers good
11:55
Speaker 2: enough to beat this NFL secondary? Are the can you
11:59
Speaker 2: run the ball against team when they basically stopped you
12:02
Speaker 2: the last time? If Oregon wins this game, it's going
12:05
Speaker 2: to be one of the great coaching jobs in recent
12:07
Speaker 2: memory by Dan Lanning and his staff, given the all
12:10
Speaker 2: the other things that are on their list of things
12:13
Speaker 2: to do. So I gotta lean. As much as I
12:17
Speaker 2: love Dan Lanning and I love the duck story, I
12:19
Speaker 2: gotta lean towards Indiana in that game.
12:22
Speaker 4: How about the Miami Ole miss How about that game?
12:25
Speaker 4: There's a lot of intrigue around that one as well.
12:27
Speaker 2: Obviously it's fascinating. There's an old saying about a coach
12:34
Speaker 2: being asked who's going to win the championship. He says
12:36
Speaker 2: I don't know who it's going to be, but I
12:38
Speaker 2: know what they're going to look like, and they're going to.
12:40
Speaker 5: Look like Miami.
12:42
Speaker 2: Miami has a defensive front four that doesn't need to
12:45
Speaker 2: have a linebacker add to the pass rush to put
12:49
Speaker 2: pressure on the quarterback. This Mesidor and Bane are fantastic
12:54
Speaker 2: defensive ends. They put pressure on the A and M quarterback.
12:58
Speaker 2: They put pressure on say in for Ohio State, and
13:01
Speaker 2: they have been the key to this run that the
13:05
Speaker 2: Hurricanes are on. And they've also realized that the games
13:10
Speaker 2: that they lost, Carson Beck through six interceptions in those
13:13
Speaker 2: two games, so they're not letting him throw. He only
13:16
Speaker 2: threw for one hundred and two yards against an M
13:18
Speaker 2: and one hundred and thirty eight against Ohio State and
13:22
Speaker 2: they still won the game. So they're going to have
13:24
Speaker 2: Mark Fletcher run the ball. Remember, Ole Miss is like
13:27
Speaker 2: sixtieth and sixties third in the country in rush defense.
13:31
Speaker 2: So you run the ball, you play field position, you
13:33
Speaker 2: don't let Beck screw it up. He just plays within
13:36
Speaker 2: himself and you win with your defense. That to me
13:39
Speaker 2: is the equation. If Mario Christobal stays with that formula,
13:45
Speaker 2: he'll be fine. I think despite the fun offense that
13:49
Speaker 2: Tridi Dan Shambliss has run. I just think Miami's too
13:52
Speaker 2: talented for the team, and given the ability to put
13:55
Speaker 2: pressure on the quarterback, which Georgia was unable to do
13:59
Speaker 2: at least consistently, I think it makes for a Miami win.
14:03
Speaker 1: Rick new Isai with US our college football insider from
14:07
Speaker 1: CBS Sports Course, former UDUB head coach and current Dallas
14:11
Speaker 1: Renegade's head coach. And apparently he's got a laundry list
14:15
Speaker 1: of defensive ends slash tight ends that are better prospects
14:19
Speaker 1: than a fifty four year old from Seattle. Good for you,
14:24
Speaker 1: I guess, good for you and your cornercker. Yeah, his
14:27
Speaker 1: segment brought to you every week by Taco Time. As
14:30
Speaker 1: a coach, somebody that has had to manage a roster
14:33
Speaker 1: and a coaching staff and everything else for many, many years,
14:37
Speaker 1: How difficult is this for ole Miss to be doing
14:40
Speaker 1: this coaching dance with LSU getting ready for a Final
14:44
Speaker 1: four game.
14:46
Speaker 2: Well, I think what we have to remember and people
14:49
Speaker 2: don't realize this, These coaching staffs have proliferated beyond belief.
14:53
Speaker 2: This was a Nick Saban additive to the world of
14:59
Speaker 2: college football that a lot of coaches really complaining about
15:03
Speaker 2: but the world of analysts has gone through the roof,
15:07
Speaker 2: and the NCAA tried to hold on like they always do,
15:10
Speaker 2: but then they got the court of law and realized
15:13
Speaker 2: they couldn't do anything about it. So it's basically broken way.
15:17
Speaker 2: So there are assistants to assistance to assistance on these
15:21
Speaker 2: coaching stats. And the reason that we've proliferated that way
15:24
Speaker 2: is because we've had to create personnel departments because of
15:28
Speaker 2: the transfer portal. So not only do you look at
15:31
Speaker 2: every high school player that's coming out, you also look
15:34
Speaker 2: at every you look at every roster across the country
15:38
Speaker 2: in the FCS. That wonderful game last night that Montana
15:41
Speaker 2: State won their first national title since nineteen eighty four
15:45
Speaker 2: against Illinois State, who was playing for their first ever title.
15:48
Speaker 2: Both of those that film will be scrutinized by every
15:51
Speaker 2: coach out there to see if I want to take
15:52
Speaker 2: one of those players and bring them to the power
15:55
Speaker 2: for So you have to proliferate your program. So the
15:59
Speaker 2: fact you've lost a few coaches, there are other guys
16:02
Speaker 2: that know how to coach that position. So I don't
16:04
Speaker 2: think it's nearly as big a deal as people are
16:07
Speaker 2: making it out to be. Especially if Charlie Weiss Junior
16:10
Speaker 2: is staying and going to call, the rhythm of the
16:13
Speaker 2: offense will be very similar.
16:14
Speaker 1: And especially since I have that Chamberless kid at quarterback.
16:17
Speaker 1: The kid's a magician.
16:18
Speaker 2: Oh in they funded fun. It was a crime that
16:22
Speaker 2: he wasn't in New York. It would have been a
16:24
Speaker 2: great ability to talk about Division two and the FCS
16:28
Speaker 2: and Division three. I mean, there's still pure college football
16:32
Speaker 2: out there. I want the fans that missed that to
16:35
Speaker 2: know that it's still available.
16:36
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get our Taco Time maybe picks
16:40
Speaker 1: of the week. Who are we going to end up
16:41
Speaker 1: in the championship? Sounds like you're leaning heavily toward Indiana
16:44
Speaker 1: and did I pick up on Miami as well?
16:48
Speaker 2: You did pick up on those. I'm going to take
16:50
Speaker 2: Indiana as my Taco Time pick because I'm pulling for
16:55
Speaker 2: Ole Miss I really am. I want Trinidad Chambliss on
16:58
Speaker 2: the stage because I think it's great for college football
17:02
Speaker 2: to realize that just because you transfer doesn't mean you're
17:06
Speaker 2: a bad guy. He's one of the great ones. And
17:09
Speaker 2: I've got a fingers crossed that they get there, but
17:12
Speaker 2: I think Miami will get him just on the prowess
17:14
Speaker 2: of that defense. But the Taco Time pick of the
17:16
Speaker 2: week are your Indiana Hoosiers.
17:19
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, we know you are very very
17:22
Speaker 1: busy these days with all of your jobs that you're
17:25
Speaker 1: juggling going.
17:26
Speaker 2: I'm going back in the film room. I'm looking at
17:28
Speaker 2: all these quarterbacks out there because I've got to turn
17:31
Speaker 2: in a list of my five top quarterbacks that I
17:34
Speaker 2: want to be renegades on Friday. So I'm scrutinizing, making
17:39
Speaker 2: all these calls, all these coaches about their guys, and
17:42
Speaker 2: everybody wants to talk about the portal, and it always starts,
17:47
Speaker 2: you're not going to believe this.
17:52
Speaker 1: If we knew the stories behind the scenes like you do.
17:55
Speaker 2: Oh man, he goes, I can't, I go I know
17:59
Speaker 2: you're as he says, No, I want to talk to you, coach.
18:02
Speaker 2: This will be the only five minutes where I'm not
18:04
Speaker 2: talking about money.
18:06
Speaker 1: When do we find out which quarterback you so you
18:08
Speaker 1: got to have it in on Friday? When do you
18:09
Speaker 1: find out I.
18:10
Speaker 2: Got to have it in on Friday? And then they
18:12
Speaker 2: go through the list and see you if no one
18:14
Speaker 2: else wanted those guys then their mind. If there's the deal,
18:18
Speaker 2: then they have to come up with some waiver wire
18:21
Speaker 2: where somebody will have first choice and second choice and
18:24
Speaker 2: then it snakes down. But I'll find some guys that
18:27
Speaker 2: want to play and we're going to have some fun
18:30
Speaker 2: in Dallas.
18:30
Speaker 1: Well that brings it full cycle then, because if that's
18:35
Speaker 1: a hurdle, I promise you nobody else is going to
18:37
Speaker 1: want one of us. So you could put us on
18:39
Speaker 1: the list there that will get in your way.
18:43
Speaker 2: You think it's safe to say that, I'll get chucking buck.
18:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you put us on the list, we will
18:49
Speaker 1: clear waivers. Yeah, you'll have us for sure.
18:51
Speaker 2: Hey, Talladega Knights had shaken bake. I've got chucking.
18:58
Speaker 1: All right, Coach, Well, get back in the film room.
19:00
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week.
19:01
Speaker 2: All right, boys, I always enjoy it. Take care.
19:03
Speaker 1: Rick new Isel is segment brought to you every week
19:05
Speaker 1: by Taco Time joining us next on the program, and
19:09
Speaker 1: sometimes he can be intimidating for Coach new Iel to
19:12
Speaker 1: have to be followed up by this guest. The old
19:15
Speaker 1: Judge will stop by next on Sports Radio ninety three
19:18
Speaker 1: point three kJ R FM.
19:20
Speaker 6: No I told you. I did it. That was the
19:22
Speaker 6: last visit of the year.
19:23
Speaker 1: Yeah. Once she does it once a year.
19:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you could have made that a resolution. It
19:28
Speaker 4: just shows some respect. Maybe that would have been a
19:31
Speaker 4: good one for you.
19:31
Speaker 1: A lot of work. Yeah, you know that interesting you
19:34
Speaker 1: bring that up. That was out of my four hundred
19:36
Speaker 1: and ninety six years resolutions. That's number forty one. Show
19:40
Speaker 1: less respect this year? Oh yeah to everyone, Well that one.
19:44
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You are hitting more of these
19:46
Speaker 1: than you're not. You know, I try to make some
19:49
Speaker 1: reasonable that's a reasonable one, attainable one.
19:52
Speaker 5: You know what not everybody needs respect, including the old judge.
19:56
Speaker 6: I think it's awesome.
19:57
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the old judge is here, he's in
20:00
Speaker 1: his courtroom, he is ready to rule. Here's how this works.
20:04
Speaker 1: I've got a few different topics that Ashley and I
20:06
Speaker 1: are gonna discuss, not necessarily debate, but just discuss. And
20:11
Speaker 1: then once the old judge has heard enough yapping in
20:14
Speaker 1: his courtroom, he slams the gavel gavel, gavel, cavel. He
20:18
Speaker 1: weighs in, and whatever the judge says it goes.
20:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, even more. In twenty twenty six, it just came
20:25
Speaker 5: down from on high.
20:26
Speaker 1: Oh, you have even more authority here.
20:28
Speaker 4: Actually before it was just you guys just will shut
20:31
Speaker 4: up and then whatever I say goes. Now, if you
20:33
Speaker 4: don't shush your mouths and agree, then you can be
20:38
Speaker 4: sent to prison.
20:39
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow yeah man, oh yeah.
20:42
Speaker 4: The stakes have risen a little bit, so I would say,
20:45
Speaker 4: abide by the law.
20:46
Speaker 1: I got a cross off two seventy three news. You're
20:49
Speaker 1: as a New Year's resolution.
20:51
Speaker 5: Don't go to prison.
20:52
Speaker 1: No, I try to script old judge of his power.
20:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds like that's backfired on I support.
20:58
Speaker 1: It blew up in my face.
21:00
Speaker 5: I wouldn't do it if I was you.
21:01
Speaker 1: It's got more power than ever. It sounds like, all right,
21:04
Speaker 1: here we go. Number one, the Seahawks are going to
21:07
Speaker 1: have to beat both the Rams and forty nine ers
21:09
Speaker 1: again to reach the Super Bowl.
21:11
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I think they're gonna have to
21:13
Speaker 7: beat one of them. I don't think that they're going
21:15
Speaker 7: to have to beat both. I do think the Rams
21:17
Speaker 7: will probably win this weekend, and I do think the
21:19
Speaker 7: forty nine ers will not.
21:21
Speaker 1: I am with you on that. I think the forty
21:23
Speaker 1: nine ers are out immediately. I even think Green Bay
21:27
Speaker 1: could get Chicago. I think you won't have to face
21:30
Speaker 1: the Rams until the Conference championship, but I still do
21:34
Speaker 1: think you will have to go through the Rams.
21:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed, gavel gavel gal oh, I broke some part
21:40
Speaker 4: of my gavel paddle.
21:42
Speaker 1: If they get stronger on that tunnel, yeah, you believe
21:46
Speaker 1: I did.
21:46
Speaker 6: I noticed those biceps were getting there.
21:49
Speaker 5: Very very fit. I am.
21:51
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I don't think you have to face both.
21:53
Speaker 4: I think the Niners they're just they're going to run
21:57
Speaker 4: into some trouble stopping people. And I don't know for
22:00
Speaker 4: sure if that offense, I mean, besides Christian McCaffrey, they
22:04
Speaker 4: don't have a ton of weapons, a hobbled kittle. I
22:07
Speaker 4: don't know if that's going to be enough to get
22:08
Speaker 4: through these playoffs.
22:09
Speaker 5: And I'm with you.
22:10
Speaker 4: I think that Seaw's gotta win that first one. But
22:13
Speaker 4: I have a feeling that the next best team, if
22:15
Speaker 4: if there's somebody that's close, is the Rams.
22:17
Speaker 5: I think you will be facing them in the Conference.
22:19
Speaker 1: Championshipah, is there any doubt that we're going to have
22:21
Speaker 1: to face the Rams?
22:22
Speaker 5: Though it should be.
22:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way the two games against them went down,
22:27
Speaker 4: I mean a two point loss, with the four turnovers,
22:30
Speaker 4: you're thinking very easily could have won that one. The
22:33
Speaker 4: last one that was even more important, essentially felt like
22:36
Speaker 4: it anyways, you come back and win that one in overtime,
22:39
Speaker 4: it's like it feels like it's unsettled.
22:41
Speaker 5: It feels you know, you're one one figure out who's
22:44
Speaker 5: the best and if it's the chance to go to
22:46
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl.
22:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how to predict
22:49
Speaker 1: anything that's going to happen in the postseason, but I
22:51
Speaker 1: feel like that is unavoidable.
22:54
Speaker 6: I would like it to be avoidable, though, I to
22:57
Speaker 6: face the Rams.
22:57
Speaker 1: And not just from the Rams perspective. I think the
22:59
Speaker 1: Seahawks are unavoidable, ye to advance as far as whenever
23:03
Speaker 1: they would meet the Los Angeles Rams. All right, next one.
23:06
Speaker 1: If I could only watch one game this weekend in
23:10
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs, I mean, it's gotta be forty nine
23:13
Speaker 1: Ers Eagles.
23:15
Speaker 7: Ooh, I don't think so. I don't think that would
23:19
Speaker 7: be my most intrigued game. I am really intrigued actually
23:23
Speaker 7: by Carolina and the Rams again, really yes, because the
23:26
Speaker 7: Carolina found a way to beat them last time.
23:28
Speaker 6: I wonder if they're going to go with that similar
23:29
Speaker 6: game plan.
23:30
Speaker 1: I'm planning to get drunk during that game well and
23:32
Speaker 1: then just ride it the evening.
23:34
Speaker 7: There was no part I didn't. Sorry, I hold on,
23:37
Speaker 7: let me check micro. Did I say it's gonna be sober? Well,
23:39
Speaker 7: I was doing it. And then also that Bill's game,
23:43
Speaker 7: the Bill's Jaguars, that's gonna be a great one.
23:45
Speaker 1: I think the Bills Jaguars is the best game of
23:48
Speaker 1: the weekend. I would put Bears Packers second. I don't
23:52
Speaker 1: even put the forty and then I probably put forty
23:54
Speaker 1: nine Ers Eagles.
23:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's not Yeah, it's not high on my line.
23:57
Speaker 4: Gavel Gavel, Gavel, Gavel, Bill's Jags, I think is the
24:01
Speaker 4: best game of the weekend. I'm also highly intrigued to
24:04
Speaker 4: see I mean, the Patriots just to seem to me,
24:07
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they ended up second in the
24:10
Speaker 4: offense as far as scoring behind the Rams, overtook the
24:14
Speaker 4: Seahawks there in the final week. It's weird to think
24:17
Speaker 4: of them as that, and yet they're legit. I mean,
24:20
Speaker 4: fourteen to three. You don't get there by accident. The
24:23
Speaker 4: Chargers rested some guys, and Herbert has been a guy
24:26
Speaker 4: that's thrown four interceptions in a playoff game before.
24:29
Speaker 5: He's not risen to the moment.
24:31
Speaker 4: Yet we don't hear the same rumblings about him as
24:33
Speaker 4: you do about Sam Darnold for whatever reason. I'll be
24:36
Speaker 4: interested to see how that matchup goes down. I'm obviously
24:39
Speaker 4: a little bit more interested in how the AFC pans out,
24:42
Speaker 4: and so those two games are kind of the big
24:43
Speaker 4: ones for me. But there all of them are intriguing.
24:47
Speaker 4: They all have their crazy storylines. Can the forty nine
24:49
Speaker 4: ers get healthy enough, they might get some guys back
24:52
Speaker 4: If they don't, seems like it's uphill sledding for them.
24:55
Speaker 4: And yet the Eagles have found a way to lose
24:56
Speaker 4: to far worse teams than the forty nine ers this
25:00
Speaker 4: season so far.
25:00
Speaker 6: I'm most excited to watch the Seahawks game this weekend.
25:03
Speaker 6: Oh wait, oh wait.
25:04
Speaker 1: We're on they played Hold on, wait they play this.
25:07
Speaker 6: Oh that's right, they're the number one seed.
25:09
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.
25:10
Speaker 6: Oh you're you excited to watch the Broncos this weekend?
25:13
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well wait, no, they don't play either. Yeow. This
25:19
Speaker 1: show only uh supports not one seeds. Yeah, it's just
25:23
Speaker 1: gonna be the way it's going to be this year,
25:25
Speaker 1: gonna be a one seed at everything, or I'm not
25:27
Speaker 1: going to do it.
25:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody other text line. When we brought that up
25:30
Speaker 4: earlier yesterday, they were like, oh, so you're cheering for Indiana.
25:34
Speaker 4: Then I'm like, oh wait, no, yeah, no, no.
25:44
Speaker 1: All right, next one, Should the Cardinals and Dolphins just
25:47
Speaker 1: trade Kyler for Tua?
25:50
Speaker 6: Oh? I think? I mean, I don't know that either
25:53
Speaker 6: one should still be starting.
25:55
Speaker 7: In the NFL. Honestly, it's not making us watch. That's
25:58
Speaker 7: what I would ask.
25:59
Speaker 1: Well, I would say maybe, I would say yes if
26:05
Speaker 1: I have to be definitive, and I'll tell you what,
26:06
Speaker 1: because I mean, I heard some argument this morning about
26:10
Speaker 1: what a great position the Dolphins are in organizationally, and
26:13
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you out of your mind? No one's
26:16
Speaker 1: in a worse position because if to get rid of
26:19
Speaker 1: Tua you got to pull the Russell Wilson thing where
26:22
Speaker 1: you've got to basically eat fifty million dollars for the
26:25
Speaker 1: next couple of years. It's you don't have a high
26:28
Speaker 1: draft pick, you don't have a great owner, you don't
26:32
Speaker 1: have a GM in place right now. I think they
26:35
Speaker 1: have an absolute mess there. I'm not sure you're going
26:39
Speaker 1: to find anything better than Tua if you're trying to
26:44
Speaker 1: still win next year now, And yet I understand why
26:47
Speaker 1: you'd want to get rid of them, So why not
26:49
Speaker 1: trade the two horrible situations that you have right now?
26:53
Speaker 1: The money's about even fresh.
26:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, cavel gavel gavel I won.
26:58
Speaker 4: I don't want to trade ahead ache for a headache, Like, hey,
27:01
Speaker 4: you having that medicine that just gives you a different
27:03
Speaker 4: headache and ache? Yeah, Like I have a headache in
27:05
Speaker 4: the front, do you have one that gives me one
27:06
Speaker 4: in the back.
27:07
Speaker 1: Because he's still a pretty small headache.
27:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tyler's just a little bit smaller.
27:12
Speaker 4: I don't know why necessarily, I Tua has the concussion
27:18
Speaker 4: issue in the staying healthy issue. I've seen plenty of
27:21
Speaker 4: times though out of Tua when you're like, I can
27:23
Speaker 4: see why that guy was drafted where he was the
27:25
Speaker 4: talent that he can bring to the table, Now, does
27:28
Speaker 4: he really work hard? All the questions about that that's
27:31
Speaker 4: not good and the fact that you would have to
27:33
Speaker 4: pay for his salary for him to go play somewhere else.
27:36
Speaker 4: In large part, that doesn't seem great. But on the
27:38
Speaker 4: flip side of it, you're not getting a whole lot
27:40
Speaker 4: different situation with Kyler. Murray maybe hasn't fully invested in
27:44
Speaker 4: the craft and getting better at it, but he at
27:47
Speaker 4: times shows why he was drafted where he was drafted,
27:50
Speaker 4: that he's capable. I would believe more in Tua, and
27:53
Speaker 4: I think switching that one headache for a different headache,
27:56
Speaker 4: all you're doing is messing with the fact that at
27:59
Speaker 4: least they know something about each other. At least you
28:02
Speaker 4: know something about your guy. Whether or not it's all
28:04
Speaker 4: bad or more bad than good, I don't know.
28:05
Speaker 1: All due respect, mister Cornhold's there, They're gone. They're neither
28:11
Speaker 1: one are staying where they are too. It is gone.
28:15
Speaker 1: Kyler is gone. It's just do you want to eat
28:18
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars run Quinn viewers out there and see
28:23
Speaker 1: if you can turn you know, treasure trash into treasure
28:28
Speaker 1: and get the right head coach like Denver did, get
28:32
Speaker 1: the right system going again. Right now, they don't have
28:35
Speaker 1: any of those pieces in place, so it's not that either.
28:39
Speaker 1: That's a great situation for either team, But you could
28:42
Speaker 1: trade for another quarterback that's actually had some success in
28:45
Speaker 1: the National Football League and try to give them a
28:47
Speaker 1: new environment, a new playground and see if it works here,
28:51
Speaker 1: or you eat fifty million dollars for the next two
28:54
Speaker 1: seasons and try to see if you can turn Quinn
28:56
Speaker 1: Eewers into something during a rebuild. Those are your two choices.
29:00
Speaker 1: They're not nobody's keeping either of those dudes.
29:02
Speaker 6: No, but they're in a great spot.
29:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in a great spot. Love to have that.
29:06
Speaker 6: Gosh, you really jealous of that?
29:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad. I'm I'm not a fan of either team.
29:11
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that.
29:12
Speaker 1: All right, final one with Naylor, Ferrer and ref Snyder done,
29:16
Speaker 1: the Mariners need just one more significant move for a
29:19
Speaker 1: bat and I will consider this off season complete.
29:25
Speaker 7: I think so, just going off the way that the
29:26
Speaker 7: Mariner's philosophy is that they're not trying to do too
29:29
Speaker 7: much in the off season. They're really trying to hold
29:32
Speaker 7: steady till that trade deadline or you know, have success
29:35
Speaker 7: in til that trade deadline.
29:36
Speaker 6: So yes, I would say, one more move.
29:38
Speaker 7: Bring in a bat, and then you're now you've got
29:40
Speaker 7: your team, You've got everything so that you can kind
29:43
Speaker 7: of figure out what you need once you get to
29:45
Speaker 7: the trade deadline.
29:45
Speaker 6: Because that seems to be their sweet spot.
29:47
Speaker 1: Man they still have led a couple of Japanese hitters
29:50
Speaker 1: that I was interested in and go for a lot
29:52
Speaker 1: less and I thought they were going to be worth
29:54
Speaker 1: I think they've got a really sneaky, sexy move up
29:58
Speaker 1: their sleeve for a bat and I think that I'm
30:01
Speaker 1: going to need that to feel like the offseason is complete.
30:04
Speaker 1: But if it does happen, yeah, I'm good with that.
30:07
Speaker 1: I think you've dressed your bullpen. I think that you
30:11
Speaker 1: got yourself a decent left handed platoon outfielder that can
30:16
Speaker 1: be used. Naylor obviously was the biggest move of the offseason.
30:22
Speaker 1: If you can just either keep Gino or find somebody
30:26
Speaker 1: better than Gino out there, I'll consider it complete.
30:29
Speaker 4: Gavel, Gavel, Gavel, I am. I'm fine if there's one
30:33
Speaker 4: more substantial move, if it was Gino bringing him back,
30:36
Speaker 4: and you're like, all right, you're going to be our DH,
30:38
Speaker 4: and then we can kind of see what Ben Williamson
30:41
Speaker 4: does over there at third. And I don't want them
30:45
Speaker 4: to go into the season and this isn't doesn't mean
30:48
Speaker 4: I don't believe that both of them could rise to
30:50
Speaker 4: the occasion. I don't want Cole at second and Ben
30:54
Speaker 4: at third and you're relying on both of them to
30:56
Speaker 4: figure it out. When you're in the middle of a
30:59
Speaker 4: championship window like the Mariner's team, I think is I
31:03
Speaker 4: want to have an insurance policy somewhere, so like a
31:06
Speaker 4: third baseman like Gino that could play third if Ben Williamson,
31:10
Speaker 4: you know, scuffles offensively or somebody, if it was a
31:14
Speaker 4: second baseman that you're like, okay, that way, if Cole
31:16
Speaker 4: Young doesn't figure it out and doesn't continue to kind
31:19
Speaker 4: of blossom after his first cup of coffee in the
31:21
Speaker 4: big leagues, you have a backup plan there. I don't
31:24
Speaker 4: want to go with both youngsters expecting both of them.
31:26
Speaker 4: Now you do have what's his name, the youngster that
31:30
Speaker 4: might be vying for that third base second base spot,
31:32
Speaker 4: Colt Emerson cold Emerson. Yeah, you might be having him
31:35
Speaker 4: thrown into the mix as well. But that now you
31:37
Speaker 4: have three guys and you're hoping that two of them
31:40
Speaker 4: take off. I want to have a little bit more
31:43
Speaker 4: of a proven guy mixed into the system.
31:45
Speaker 5: Yees.
31:45
Speaker 4: So I'm sure at this point you've reached out to
31:47
Speaker 4: everybody you're interested in. Now they're waiting for the best deals.
31:51
Speaker 4: They're doing their negotiating, waiting for the best deals. You're
31:53
Speaker 4: gonna wait for one of them, two of them to
31:55
Speaker 4: basically sign somewhere else. The next thing, you know, there's
31:57
Speaker 4: a all right, well, you didn't go where the highest
32:00
Speaker 4: bitter was, so now are you going to take the
32:02
Speaker 4: next highest bidder or are you going to jump and
32:04
Speaker 4: just go where you want to go?
32:05
Speaker 5: Hopefully that's Seattle Mariners for some of these guys.
32:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, And time has to be viewed differently. In a
32:11
Speaker 1: baseball off season. You might be thinking we're running out
32:14
Speaker 1: of time. We're not even close to running out of time. Yeah,
32:17
Speaker 1: because you know this is the NFL. The further you
32:20
Speaker 1: get away from NFL free agency, usually the pool is
32:25
Speaker 1: just like diminished. But in Major league there is so
32:29
Speaker 1: much left out there. I mean, there were a few
32:32
Speaker 1: moves right at the beginning of the off season. There's
32:34
Speaker 1: really been virtually nothing in the last month or so,
32:38
Speaker 1: so there is a lot left there to grab. So
32:42
Speaker 1: there's you're not running out of time, You're not running
32:44
Speaker 1: out of fish in the pond. There's still plenty of
32:49
Speaker 1: plenty of them out there. You just got to find
32:50
Speaker 1: the right bait. All right, Well, close out the show.
32:53
Speaker 1: Next with one last Thing Sports Radio ninety three point
32:55
Speaker 1: three KJRFM.
32:57
Speaker 6: This report is sponsored by the Crones and Colidis Foundation.
33:01
Speaker 6: There is an accident in Seattle.
33:10
Speaker 1: My final segment of today so radio program Chuck a
33:14
Speaker 1: Buck in the morning. So we'll be back at six
33:16
Speaker 1: o'clock tomorrow morning. But before that, we always go around
33:20
Speaker 1: the room for one last thing, something that maybe we
33:22
Speaker 1: didn't get to, that you wanted to talk about, something
33:24
Speaker 1: that you had more to say about, that you didn't
33:26
Speaker 1: have time. Wherever you want to take it, it's your
33:29
Speaker 1: one last thing, Buckey go, who.
33:34
Speaker 5: Do you want? If there's one move all Mariners can
33:38
Speaker 5: make who.
33:38
Speaker 4: I mean some of it like you said, I know
33:40
Speaker 4: Minatari or minute Taki that whatever it is. I know
33:45
Speaker 4: you Werekami, Yes, so I mixed him the other something. Anyways,
33:51
Speaker 4: I know he was one that you were interested in.
33:53
Speaker 4: H He's gone obviously for not a whole heck of
33:56
Speaker 4: a lot to the White Sox. But of those out there,
33:59
Speaker 4: I mean, is it big swing a Bregman swing, or is.
34:02
Speaker 1: It I just don't even play in that. I just
34:07
Speaker 1: don't even play there. And they're not gonna sign Alex Bregman.
34:10
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna make thirty thirty five million dollars
34:13
Speaker 1: a year. I think too many Mariner fans put themselves
34:15
Speaker 1: in a position where they see this guy, he's available,
34:19
Speaker 1: he gets connected, and then they're angry that he doesn't
34:23
Speaker 1: come here. I just operate by Hey, if they signed Bregman,
34:26
Speaker 1: that is a pleasant shock to me. I just don't
34:30
Speaker 1: think that that's the type of player they're going to
34:32
Speaker 1: go after. I could see a catel Marte type that
34:36
Speaker 1: they would be interested in.
34:37
Speaker 6: Me because there was a lot of talk about.
34:39
Speaker 1: Him the finance. Because the finances are controlled, they know
34:42
Speaker 1: exactly what they're gonna have to pay him. He doesn't
34:44
Speaker 1: make an absorbent salary, even though he's gonna make it
34:47
Speaker 1: for many years to come. But I don't I don't
34:50
Speaker 1: think it's gonna go there either. Something tells me it's
34:53
Speaker 1: just gonna be a really clever move for like a
34:57
Speaker 1: young player, maybe like a CJ. Abrams from the Washington Nationals,
35:01
Speaker 1: where they get a young player with multiple years left
35:05
Speaker 1: on his first contract. They give up a couple of
35:08
Speaker 1: prospects for him. He's on the outs in Washington, but
35:12
Speaker 1: they can get him still young, teach him how to
35:15
Speaker 1: take a pitch on it every once in a while
35:17
Speaker 1: and steal sixty bases for you, can hit twenty five
35:20
Speaker 1: home runs for you. I think maybe I'm just using
35:24
Speaker 1: him as an example, but I have a feeling they've
35:27
Speaker 1: got like a sneaky young player that they're going to
35:30
Speaker 1: grab for a couple of prospects that maybe we don't
35:33
Speaker 1: want to give up.
35:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
35:34
Speaker 1: Like, theoretically I don't want to not give up. I
35:37
Speaker 1: don't want to give up a Las Montes. But if
35:39
Speaker 1: you get the right young player with a controllable salary
35:42
Speaker 1: for number of years with some upside, I think that
35:46
Speaker 1: that's where they're.
35:46
Speaker 5: Going to go.
35:47
Speaker 4: I was having a conversation with a buddy of mine
35:49
Speaker 4: and he threw the name Araz out there, Luis Arroz,
35:53
Speaker 4: would you.
35:53
Speaker 5: Like the ideas? Yeah, I think it'd be interesting. I
35:56
Speaker 5: just got to put the ball in play, I mean.
35:59
Speaker 1: Second baseman, first base, if you needed him. Yeah.
36:01
Speaker 4: I like the idea of because, I mean, we went
36:04
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago when they let Geno go
36:07
Speaker 4: and Taoscar Hernandez, and that didn't necessarily work out the
36:11
Speaker 4: plan that they had of put the ball in play more. Well,
36:14
Speaker 4: this is about as far in that direction of a
36:16
Speaker 4: plan as you could do put that guy right up
36:18
Speaker 4: there at top of the order, possibly with you.
36:21
Speaker 5: Know, Julio and cow behind him.
36:23
Speaker 4: I kind of like that idea. It was a it
36:25
Speaker 4: was an interesting conversation. That would be one that would
36:27
Speaker 4: be kind of a under the radar.
36:29
Speaker 5: But I'd be like, because.
36:31
Speaker 4: There's a bunch of times I came in here going
36:32
Speaker 4: can we just put the ball in play?
36:33
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right there? Well we don't. I mean, the Mariners
36:36
Speaker 1: don't have a lead off hitter right now. I mean,
36:38
Speaker 1: there's no way I want JP Crawford to ever hit
36:40
Speaker 1: lead off again, and I don't want to see Randy
36:43
Speaker 1: rose Arena in that spot. So Arise would certainly give
36:48
Speaker 1: you a guy that is a bona fide leadoff hitter.
36:50
Speaker 8: Now.
36:51
Speaker 1: He is coming off his only bad season in the
36:53
Speaker 1: last five years, or at least subpar. He's still had
36:56
Speaker 1: two ninety two. Yeah, but for him, but yeah, for
36:59
Speaker 1: him that I mean, that's not the that's not the
37:02
Speaker 1: Luisa Rise that you want because he doesn't bring a
37:04
Speaker 1: lot else to the plate. He doesn't hit for power,
37:07
Speaker 1: he's not a very good defender. For considering he's a
37:10
Speaker 1: ball and play kind of guy. He doesn't have speed,
37:12
Speaker 1: but he is a ball and play guy. So you
37:15
Speaker 1: know that that. I know I'd be all right with it.
37:18
Speaker 1: I'd like, I would not hate it, I'll tell you
37:20
Speaker 1: that much.
37:20
Speaker 5: Yeah.
37:20
Speaker 4: I mean, well, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
37:23
Speaker 4: seasons and he has two hundred and fifteen strikeouts total.
37:27
Speaker 4: That's less than Gino had last year.
37:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
37:30
Speaker 4: A couple of batting titles in there too. Yeah, Yeah,
37:32
Speaker 4: sign me up. I'm down with that type of a move.
37:35
Speaker 1: I'm free agent. I'm trying to run out. I don't know,
37:39
Speaker 1: probably two years, twenty here's twenty two that right now.
37:47
Speaker 7: I do think it's funny that we haven't even gone
37:49
Speaker 7: all the way through the Mariners off season right now,
37:51
Speaker 7: and based on just our conversation during the Old Judge,
37:53
Speaker 7: someone texted and was like, they're going to fall back
37:55
Speaker 7: into mediocrity the off season other than Nailor's been a
37:57
Speaker 7: joke as usual.
37:58
Speaker 6: I'm like, well, that negativity is just so deep within you.
38:05
Speaker 1: Well, they married themselves, yeah, they so they have.
38:07
Speaker 7: To go with the way you look at everything now,
38:09
Speaker 7: Uh huh.
38:11
Speaker 1: They they've went so far out on the limb of
38:14
Speaker 1: hating Jerry and hating what the Mariners are doing and
38:17
Speaker 1: hating ownership that they now can't allow themselves to like
38:20
Speaker 1: it because that would be admitting that they were wrong.
38:22
Speaker 4: Yes, they probably think Sam Darnold's nothing more than the
38:25
Speaker 4: glorified backup.
38:26
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, all right, Ashley, what's your one last thing?
38:29
Speaker 7: Well, we were talking about Black Friday things and Matt
38:33
Speaker 7: ebra Flus bean let go from Dallas Monday. Oh I
38:36
Speaker 7: did that too, Yeah, that's.
38:38
Speaker 6: Right, Black Monday. Black Friday is different. You shop a lot.
38:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't take Abraflus back and get a discount.
38:43
Speaker 6: No, you well, you never know. But also there was
38:46
Speaker 6: another move.
38:47
Speaker 7: The Commanders and Cliff Kingsbury have parted ways.
38:51
Speaker 1: That's interesting because he's got some college experience too. Yeah,
38:56
Speaker 1: he's obviously seeking a head coaching job. I'm not sure sure.
39:01
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a hot candidate. He was, he
39:03
Speaker 1: had rebuilt his candidacy last year. Yeah, but this year,
39:09
Speaker 1: obviously you didn't have a great year. Now, your quarterback
39:12
Speaker 1: was hurt all year long, but you weren't even playing
39:14
Speaker 1: well when he was healthy, right, So it's kind of
39:18
Speaker 1: an odd time to just kind of break away because
39:20
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a top head coaching candidate, not
39:23
Speaker 1: saying he couldn't get a job.
39:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's interest. I'm sure people will interview him.
39:27
Speaker 1: But this might be just a situation of and I
39:30
Speaker 1: think he's really hard to get along with. Oh, this
39:32
Speaker 1: might be just a situation of I just want a
39:34
Speaker 1: better offensive coordinator job in the National Football League. And
39:38
Speaker 1: he also has college ties. So if something else weird
39:41
Speaker 1: happens in the college game, if Signatty left Indiana, maybe
39:45
Speaker 1: he's trying to free himself up to get part of
39:48
Speaker 1: that avalanche.
39:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it was interesting that it was a mutual decision.
39:50
Speaker 7: They also got rid of their DC Joe Witt, So yeah,
39:53
Speaker 7: there you go.
39:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, it's kind it is kind of odd.
39:56
Speaker 7: That, yeah, that they were both like, yeah, I.
39:58
Speaker 6: Think we're good. We're going to move on.
39:59
Speaker 1: Some a coach makes himself a free agent. Yeah, usually
40:03
Speaker 1: it was different. Yeah, Usually you want to have your
40:05
Speaker 1: hand on the bag wherever you're going. Yeah, he'll find
40:09
Speaker 1: a job. He'll either be an NFL OC, a college
40:12
Speaker 1: OC or an NFL head coach. Yeh and outside try
40:16
Speaker 1: to college head coach. But Cliff Kingsbury, he won't be
40:20
Speaker 1: out of work. But I don't think i'd want him. No,
40:23
Speaker 1: seems like a pain in the ass. Finally, I'll just
40:26
Speaker 1: close out with this. We didn't really talk about this yesterday,
40:30
Speaker 1: but d Winters not only got hurt Saturday night in
40:33
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers game, he got juked out of
40:37
Speaker 1: his ankle by the quarterback. Do you know what that now?
40:43
Speaker 1: I don't know which game first. Maybe the injury happened
40:45
Speaker 1: first and it caused him to get juked, or if
40:48
Speaker 1: Sam Donold juked him and created the injury. But you
40:52
Speaker 1: want to talk about injury to insult or insult to injury.
40:56
Speaker 1: That was the example of it. D Winners got absolutely
41:00
Speaker 1: dodged by Sam Darnold and then left the field in
41:06
Speaker 1: the arms of his trainer.
41:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, in the arms huh words.
41:12
Speaker 5: But I don't know.
41:13
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of Sarah. I know hewing,
41:16
Speaker 4: that's about it. That was a clean shot that he
41:20
Speaker 4: was going to get and good move, I mean, good,
41:24
Speaker 4: good move.
41:25
Speaker 1: You've got more athleticism than what people realize he does.
41:28
Speaker 7: Would rather get injured the way Drake Greenlaw got injured,
41:31
Speaker 7: where you just start running onto the field and.
41:33
Speaker 6: Fall down and hurt yourself.
41:34
Speaker 1: That that was even worse.
41:35
Speaker 6: That was probably that was probably less embarrassing.
41:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. At least he didn't get juked out
41:39
Speaker 1: by a quarter.
41:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, you had juked out by like the turf.
41:44
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at six MJ
