1:34
Speaker 1: night football. That's the main topic of conversation, of course,
1:39
Speaker 1: here today. Greg Bell will join us in about a
1:42
Speaker 1: minute and a half. We'll get the latest injury information
1:45
Speaker 1: from him on both sides of the football because the
1:47
Speaker 1: Chiefs have a few injuries themselves. Thursday night football, the
1:51
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears won over the New England Patriots 30-24 was
1:55
Speaker 1: the final score in that one. NFL week number seven,

Speaker 1: there will be an early game, 6-30 from Europe. France,
2:02
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, Pittsburgh taking on New Orleans. Cincinnati,
2:06

Speaker 3: Oh, okay, different Cougars.
2:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, different Cougs will be hosting Boise State on Saturday.
2:30
Speaker 1: Boise State ranked number 21 in the country. So you
2:34
Speaker 1: have Owen Eshelman, the freshman, can keep it going for
2:37
Speaker 1: the Cougs. He's giving them hope. He's giving them light.
2:40
Speaker 1: after his performance a week ago. UW's on bye this week.
2:44
Speaker 1: Won't play again until next week in Lincoln, Nebraska. Who
2:47
Speaker 1: knows who the starting quarterback is going to be. I
2:50
Speaker 1: think we have our beliefs of who it's going to be,
2:53
Speaker 1: but we don't know. Kraken win a nice one last night.
2:57
Speaker 1: A mammoth victory over the Utah Mammoth. 5-3 the final score.
3:01
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it in more detail coming
3:04
Speaker 1: up at 7.30 here this morning. WNBA, everybody knows that
3:08
Speaker 1: it's a seven-game series now in the finals. Jeez. And
3:12
Speaker 1: that tomorrow is just game four and that nothing's going
3:15
Speaker 1: to be decided. Fools who think otherwise should be arrested.
3:19
Speaker 1: 10 a.m. tip, game four. Atlanta can go up 3-1,
3:24
Speaker 1: but of course they can't close it out.
3:27
Speaker 3: Who would ever think that?
3:29
Speaker 1: World Series game number one is tonight at 5 o'clock
3:32
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Man, that's going to be a great
3:36
Speaker 1: atmosphere as they host the Tampa Bay Rays, and this
3:39
Speaker 1: should be a fantastic series. And Stephen Boat told the
3:43
Speaker 1: media in Cleveland yesterday, I'm not going to go anywhere
3:46
Speaker 1: in rumors about me going to Seattle. I haven't heard
3:48
Speaker 1: from anyone. in seattle and so i don't know if
3:52
Speaker 1: that closes the door i think it actually kind of
3:55
Speaker 1: opened the door a little bit but we'll discuss that
3:57
Speaker 1: at 8 30 here this morning right now it's time
4:00
Speaker 1: to chat with greg.

4:28
Speaker 2: Good morning.
4:29
Speaker 1: All right, here we are on a football Friday, and
4:32
Speaker 1: the mighty, mighty Kansas City Chiefs rolling into town for
4:36
Speaker 1: some Sunday night football. What do you take away, Ken
4:39
Speaker 1: Walker or Patrick Mahomes? If you had to take away
4:42
Speaker 1: one thing from the Chiefs, what would it be?
4:46
Speaker 2: Walker, because Walker has led a lot to what Mahomes
4:49
Speaker 2: is doing so far.
4:51
Speaker 5: Seventy-six percent completions, nine touchdowns, three interceptions. We talked about
4:55
Speaker 5: how they're much more under center this year than normally is.
4:59
Speaker 5: everything they're doing on offense is predicated because of how
5:02
Speaker 5: well Kenneth Walker's running the ball. They're playing from the front.
5:06
Speaker 5: They haven't been behind this season. They've been able to
5:08
Speaker 5: dictate how they want to play to defenses because of that.
5:12
Speaker 5: If you, if the Seahawks are successful at taking Walker
5:15
Speaker 5: away and limiting him changes, how Kansas city's played in
5:19
Speaker 5: any of their first five games, all wins. So the
5:22
Speaker 5: game plan starts and ends there. It's, it's, It's foolhardy
5:26
Speaker 5: to say, let's put the game in Patrick Mahomes' hands,
5:28
Speaker 5: but putting one hand behind Mahomes' back by taking away
5:33
Speaker 5: his run game would be different from how he's had
5:36
Speaker 5: the first five games.
5:37
Speaker 1: You don't cover the Chiefs' beat, but maybe you've heard
5:40
Speaker 1: updates on Rasheed Rice and Travis Kelsey, who popped up
5:43
Speaker 1: on the injury report. Any idea about their availability?
5:48
Speaker 5: Price has been limited through most of the week, and
5:52
Speaker 5: It seems like he'll probably list it as questionable, I
5:55
Speaker 5: would think. We'll see how they do it today. So
5:58
Speaker 5: I bet Kelsey plays. He's at the stage of his
6:02
Speaker 5: career where the guys at that point, they don't need
6:05
Speaker 5: to practice much during the week. And so I'd be
6:09
Speaker 5: surprised if he didn't play. And I think that's how
6:12
Speaker 5: those who cover the team that I've talked to this
6:13
Speaker 5: week are feeling the same way. But Rice hasn't participated
6:17
Speaker 5: in practice yet this week. He's got two injuries, hamstring
6:20
Speaker 5: and knee. It would seem like he probably won't play.
6:25
Speaker 5: It was limited for both days for Travis Kelsey, which
6:28
Speaker 5: suggests he's.
6:29
Speaker 2: Going to play.
6:29
Speaker 1: All right, what about on the Seahawks front? Where are
6:32
Speaker 1: we with Zach Charbonnet right now?
6:35
Speaker 2: Charbonnet is now on the active roster as of yesterday.
6:37
Speaker 5: Yesterday was the deadline to put him on at the
6:39
Speaker 5: 21-day practice day window. Ended, so he's off the pup list.
6:43
Speaker 2: He's on the active list. He's full go-to-play.
6:47
Speaker 5: Now it's just how much they want to ramp him
6:49
Speaker 5: up and govern him in his return. We talked to
6:51
Speaker 5: him yesterday, and he said he's ready to be whatever
6:56
Speaker 5: the plan is. He knows he has to be patient.
7:00
Speaker 5: I asked him about, and I wrote about it at
7:03
Speaker 5: the 93.3 KJR FM website, 93.3 KJR.com. The story's up
7:09
Speaker 5: about there's some urgency here because this is the last
7:12
Speaker 5: year of his contract.
7:13
Speaker 2: And I asked him about that.
7:14
Speaker 5: How do you weigh saying you need to be patient
7:16
Speaker 5: and follow the plan that the team has for you
7:18
Speaker 5: to come back and to ramp up with the fact
7:21
Speaker 5: you have only 11 games left on your contract and
7:23
Speaker 5: you're playing, you're auditioning 11 more auditions in the regular
7:26
Speaker 5: season to get a new deal for somewheres next year.
7:29
Speaker 5: And he said, I'm not thinking about that. Of course,
7:32
Speaker 5: everybody thinks about that in the NFL. Every player knows
7:36
Speaker 5: their contracts ending and when it is, and that will
7:40
Speaker 5: come into play as he now returns. I, I think
7:43
Speaker 5: it would be malpractice to give him the ball 20
7:45
Speaker 5: times Sunday night. I don't think the Seahawks are doing that.
7:48
Speaker 5: That would be so counter to how they are medically
7:51
Speaker 5: and their athletic training. As we've talked about, they tend
7:53
Speaker 5: to be very conservative on these things. I'm thinking maybe
7:57
Speaker 5: six to eight carries max, perhaps a bit roll. I
8:02
Speaker 5: don't think he's the knight on a white horse to
8:04
Speaker 5: come in and save the offense in the running game
8:06
Speaker 5: and Sam Darnold on Sunday night.
8:08
Speaker 2: Perhaps that's down the road. But not Sunday night, I
8:11
Speaker 2: wouldn't think.
8:11
Speaker 5: Right, right.
8:12
Speaker 1: I'm with you. We mentioned just briefly right before this segment,
8:18
Speaker 1: just wondering how much longer do we have to wait
8:23
Speaker 1: for the offense we thought we were going to see
8:25
Speaker 1: from Brian Flory? It doesn't feel like the tight ends
8:29
Speaker 1: were involved nearly as much as we thought. There's not
8:32
Speaker 1: much variance in that running game. And is this Brian Flory?
8:37
Speaker 1: Is this his identity? Is this who he wants to be?
8:40
Speaker 1: Or are they still not operating it the way that
8:45
Speaker 1: he envisioned at the beginning of the year?
8:47
Speaker 5: No, this is not at all the way he envisioned it,
8:50
Speaker 5: planned it, or was hired to do it. 51 passes?
8:54
Speaker 2: No.
8:55
Speaker 5: The Seahawks will never win throwing 51 times a game.
8:58
Speaker 5: They threw 48 in Washington and ran it only 18,
9:01
Speaker 5: and they lost that game too. And he said yesterday
9:05
Speaker 5: that when he looks back at the Broncos game, he
9:09
Speaker 5: is probably critical of himself for being in shotgun too
9:13
Speaker 5: much and just dropping back and throwing, and that he
9:15
Speaker 5: should have been under center more and providing a threat
9:18
Speaker 5: to run more He understood that Denver just spat on
9:21
Speaker 5: the run game like San Francisco did and just went
9:23
Speaker 5: after Darnold. And when they dropped back in shotgun, that
9:27
Speaker 5: was the alert to Denver's edge rushers that they didn't
9:29
Speaker 5: have to read run keys. And if you have defensive
9:32
Speaker 5: ends and outside linebackers that don't have to read the tackle,
9:35
Speaker 5: whether he's going to run or pass block and just
9:36
Speaker 5: run straight line to the quarterback, in the NFL, they
9:39
Speaker 5: often get to the quarterback. And they hit him 17
9:42
Speaker 5: times without any regard for the run game. They've got
9:45
Speaker 5: to get back to running the ball for the sake
9:47
Speaker 5: of passing. And a lot of people say, why are
9:50
Speaker 5: you running the ball so much? Because it sets up everything.
9:53
Speaker 5: Because the offensive line for the Seahawks, to pass protect well,
9:58
Speaker 5: they have to run the ball together. keep defenses honest.
10:02
Speaker 5: Defenses have not been honest against the Seahawks the last
10:05
Speaker 5: couple weeks and nearly much of this season. It's been,
10:08
Speaker 5: let's just go get the quarterback. If we give up
10:12
Speaker 5: rush yards, so be it. But we're going to come
10:14
Speaker 5: after the quarterback and we'll give up any incidental run
10:18
Speaker 5: yards on the way to getting Sam Darnold That has
10:20
Speaker 5: to change. But Brian Fleury hasn't had– he's running races
10:24
Speaker 5: without the.
10:25
Speaker 2: Horses that he was supposed to have.
10:27
Speaker 5: I mean, they drafted Jarrion Price to be the next
10:32
Speaker 5: Ken Walker, and Price is on injured reserve. So in
10:36
Speaker 5: the meantime, they are just trying to gum it together
10:39
Speaker 5: with just duct tape until Charbonnet gets back somewhat full
10:44
Speaker 5: go and Price comes off injured reserve. The problem is,
10:48
Speaker 5: of course, they're already three and a half games back
10:50
Speaker 5: of the 49ers in the division while they just shuck
10:52
Speaker 5: and jive until those guys are full go.
10:55
Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us, our Seahawks insider, and you
10:57
Speaker 1: can follow him on X at GBellSeattle, and he does
11:00
Speaker 1: have stuff up on our website, 933KJR. com, for this upcoming
11:06
Speaker 1: game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, the entire week's
11:09
Speaker 1: been Ken Walker week. I mean, so many conversations about it.
11:14
Speaker 1: I know Ken. the message that has been sent to
11:18
Speaker 1: all of us from inside the house. And I know
11:22
Speaker 1: that they're playing it off like, we love Ken. And yeah, well,
11:24
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I'm really happy that he's, well, he's
11:27
Speaker 1: really giving it a go out there, isn't he? You know,
11:30
Speaker 1: giving all the right words, but how desperate do you
11:35
Speaker 1: think maybe Mike is to make sure Ken Walker doesn't
11:40
Speaker 1: win this game for the Chiefs on Sunday night?
11:43
Speaker 5: Well, he's desperate to win the game. I mean, they're
11:47
Speaker 5: staring at three and four with the Bears who look
11:49
Speaker 5: really good in the second half last night coming in next.
11:52
Speaker 2: So that's one.
11:54
Speaker 5: And to win the game, they have to stop Kenneth Walker.
11:56
Speaker 5: That's the key to the game. So, yes, but not
11:58
Speaker 5: in a personal sense of let me stick it to
12:00
Speaker 5: number nine and show him that we still have it
12:03
Speaker 5: out here and.
12:04
Speaker 2: Look what he's missed.
12:05
Speaker 5: No, NFL players don't think this is in high school.
12:08
Speaker 5: The NFL players and coaches aren't... Well.
12:11
Speaker 1: Not that he has a personal grudge against Walker. I'm
12:14
Speaker 1: saying more of, with all of the conversation, the season
12:18
Speaker 1: that he's had, for the sake of the Seahawks. They're
12:22
Speaker 1: already kind of getting dragged through the mud by everybody
12:25
Speaker 1: for the decision not to keep Ken Walker, and they've
12:28
Speaker 1: stood by that decision, but it probably won't look any better.
12:32
Speaker 1: If Ken Walker rushes for 195 yards and two touchdowns
12:36
Speaker 1: on Sunday, I'm talking about from that standpoint that they
12:38
Speaker 1: want to just silence the narrative about what a mistake
12:42
Speaker 1: that they made.
12:44
Speaker 5: Well, I guess that if he runs for 195 yards
12:47
Speaker 5: and two touchdowns, they're going to get beat by four touchdowns.
12:50
Speaker 5: They're going to lose by 28 points. So the key
12:52
Speaker 5: to the game is stopping Walker. So it just happens
12:55
Speaker 5: to be that he played for them last year. But
12:57
Speaker 5: if it was Gale Sayers or if it was Franco
12:59
Speaker 5: Harris or if it was anybody else, that's the key
13:02
Speaker 5: to the game is to stop that run game, which
13:04
Speaker 5: has made Mahomes so much better in his return from
13:07
Speaker 5: the knee injury. McDonald just so happens to be very
13:10
Speaker 5: good at.
13:10
Speaker 2: Stopping run games.
13:11
Speaker 5: There hasn't been a 100-yard rusher since his very first
13:15
Speaker 5: season here 35 games ago, as we know.
13:18
Speaker 2: James Cook, 2024 October, Buffalo Bills.
13:22
Speaker 5: So this isn't out of the ordinary for him. Go
13:25
Speaker 5: into the game with a game plan to stop the run,
13:28
Speaker 5: make the teams go into third and long so they
13:30
Speaker 5: can do their tricks on defense and put Imo Mori
13:32
Speaker 5: all over the place and put Witherspoon in at nickel
13:35
Speaker 5: and bring blitzes. This is the game plan. This is
13:39
Speaker 5: always the game plan. It just so happens that if
13:41
Speaker 5: that game plan works this time, they'll beat the Chiefs.
13:45
Speaker 5: That's the key to beating Kansas City. Andy Reid, he's
13:48
Speaker 5: had Pacheco and all the way down the list of
13:51
Speaker 5: running backs that he's cycled through in Kansas City, and
13:54
Speaker 5: they're always the same. Three down backs, they throw to him,
13:57
Speaker 5: they run, run, run, throw, they play action pass off
14:00
Speaker 5: of it, and then they have Mahomes in third and
14:02
Speaker 5: short so he can do anything in the playbook. And
14:05
Speaker 5: that's when he does his circus crazy stuff. That's always
14:08
Speaker 5: the game plan to beat Andy Reid. People think Reid
14:11
Speaker 5: is just this spread guy and Mahomes just plays playground ball.
14:14
Speaker 5: Andy Reid is a running coach first. because everything he
14:18
Speaker 5: does off of offense is running.
14:19
Speaker 2: The ball first. That's the Holmgren way, the Gruden way.
14:22
Speaker 5: That is the West Coast offense that Andy Reid runs,
14:27
Speaker 5: and now Kenneth Walker's doing it better than anybody in
14:29
Speaker 5: the NFL. So, yes, the whole narrative we make up
14:36
Speaker 5: doesn't have much to do with the actual X's and
14:38
Speaker 5: O's on the field. The X's and O's on the
14:40
Speaker 5: field is that it That's the key to the game.
14:43
Speaker 5: That's how you will beat the Chiefs, is to do
14:45
Speaker 5: what nobody else in the NFL has done this season,
14:47
Speaker 5: and that's limit Kenneth Walker. It bears repeating, 665 yards
14:52
Speaker 5: rushing for Walker in five games is more than all
14:57
Speaker 5: nine of the Seahawks guys who have even carried the
14:59
Speaker 5: ball at all this year have totaled.
15:01
Speaker 2: In six games.
15:02
Speaker 5: It's also the most yards a running back has ever
15:05
Speaker 5: had in his first five games.
15:07
Speaker 2: With a new team.
15:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been quite the impact. impactful player. There's no
15:14
Speaker 1: doubt about it.
15:17
Speaker 2: I get it.
15:18
Speaker 5: It is a mistake. Right now, with Jadar in price
15:21
Speaker 5: and injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet not back, it has
15:23
Speaker 5: been an absolute mistake to let Kenneth Walker go. There's
15:27
Speaker 5: no other way about it. I know why they did it.
15:29
Speaker 5: I know we've talked about why they did it. That
15:32
Speaker 5: doesn't make it any less of a mistake.
15:34
Speaker 1: If I set the number over under number 75 yards
15:37
Speaker 1: for Walker on Sunday, do you think they hold him
15:40
Speaker 1: below that or he gets above that?
15:43
Speaker 2: Below.
15:44
Speaker 5: That's the only way they went. If he gets closer
15:48
Speaker 5: to 100, then the Chiefs are playing the way they want.
15:52
Speaker 5: They're in third and short. There's nobody in the league
15:56
Speaker 5: that knows how to stop Kenneth Walker better than the Seahawks.
15:58
Speaker 2: They did it all the time.
15:59
Speaker 5: In practice and in training camp, and they know how
16:01
Speaker 5: he runs.
16:01
Speaker 2: I talked to Byron Murphy.
16:02
Speaker 1: Well, they did it while he was on their team offensively.
16:06
Speaker 3: They stopped him.
16:08
Speaker 5: They have ways of doing it. He doesn't run for
16:11
Speaker 5: many yards when he's on the sidelines 60% of the time,
16:13
Speaker 5: like he was last year. He's playing 75% of the
16:17
Speaker 5: snaps for the Chiefs, which is far more than he
16:19
Speaker 5: played in any of the four years for the Seahawks.
16:21
Speaker 5: He played 47% of the snaps last year. A $ 14
16:25
Speaker 5: million running back who's leading the NFL in rushing played 47%
16:29
Speaker 5: of the snaps for Seattle last year. But they did
16:31
Speaker 5: it so they could get him through all 17 games.
16:33
Speaker 5: They were convinced if they ran him 75% of the time,
16:36
Speaker 5: he wouldn't play all 17. Andy Reid's about to find
16:39
Speaker 5: out if he.
16:39
Speaker 2: Will or not. But, yeah.
16:43
Speaker 5: I talked to Byron Murphy yesterday, the defensive tackle, and
16:46
Speaker 5: he said that Walker is so good at picking holes,
16:50
Speaker 5: sometimes patiently, like Le'Veon Bell, old style. But we have to...
16:55
Speaker 5: go up the field, beat our guy at the snap,
16:58
Speaker 5: and then go up the field at him so that
17:00
Speaker 5: he doesn't have rush.
17:04
Speaker 2: More than most running backs they face in a game,
17:06
Speaker 2: they know exactly what they have to do on Sunday
17:08
Speaker 2: with Walker. All right.
17:09
Speaker 1: What's on the show today?
17:12
Speaker 5: Our weekly high school focus is talk to two coaches.
17:17
Speaker 5: We do a spotlight game of the week. Off the
17:22
Speaker 5: top of my head, I'm blanking who the game is.
17:26
Speaker 2: I know it is. It's Bellevue High School and what
17:30
Speaker 2: are we doing?
17:31
Speaker 5: Bellevue's playing Mount Si.
17:33
Speaker 2: Sorry. Bellevue Mount Si out on the plateau.
17:36
Speaker 5: Huge game in 4A. And we'll talk to both coaches
17:40
Speaker 5: at 11 o'clock. And you'll hear from Zach Charbonnet at
17:43
Speaker 5: about 1020. His words yesterday, including his response when I said,
17:48
Speaker 5: are you urgent about your contract? And he said, nah,
17:50
Speaker 5: I'm not even thinking about that. You can judge for
17:52
Speaker 5: yourself whether that's true or not.
17:54
Speaker 2: Okay. We'll talk about that, too.
17:56
Speaker 5: All right.
17:56
Speaker 1: Sounds great.
17:57
Speaker 5: All right.
17:57
Speaker 3: Thank you, Greg.
17:58
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
17:59
Speaker 2: Happy Friday. Thank you.
18:00
Speaker 3: Thanks, Greg.
18:00
Speaker 5: All right.
18:01
Speaker 1: Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider. Of course, a staple of
18:03
Speaker 1: our Football Friday to get you ready for the Seahawks
18:08
Speaker 1: Sunday matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Want to follow Greg?
18:10
Speaker 1: Do so at GBellSeattle. And he's working on stuff for
18:13
Speaker 1: our website right now, so you can read up on
18:16
Speaker 1: the Zach Charbonnet news he unearthed yesterday. And, of course,
18:19
Speaker 1: you can listen at 10 o'clock. He and Jessamyn McIntyre
18:22
Speaker 1: coming your way. I do want to correct something he said.
18:25
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it live on the air
18:27
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to spend time going back and
18:29
Speaker 1: forth on it. And he reads not a run first.
18:32
Speaker 1: quarterback uh head coach and neither is mike holmgren i
18:35
Speaker 1: mean i've sat here with coach home coach holmgren wants
18:38
Speaker 1: to pass every single down yes and andy reads the
18:40
Speaker 1: disciple of him but to greg's point they both knew
18:45
Speaker 1: well the importance the importance of the running game we
18:49
Speaker 1: have to do the running game because i want to
18:50
Speaker 1: set up all of my wonderful past plays that i
18:53
Speaker 1: that i love to have and so if you have
18:56
Speaker 1: a good runner they're smart enough to like that's the
18:59
Speaker 1: game plan like sean alexander I got Sean Alexander. Nobody
19:03
Speaker 1: can stop him this year, so why would I throw it?
19:06
Speaker 1: I mean, as much as I want to throw it,
19:08
Speaker 1: I'm going to hand the ball to Alexander. That's the
19:11
Speaker 1: best part of our offense right now, and that's going
19:13
Speaker 1: to make Matt better. And that's what Kansas City has
19:17
Speaker 1: not had, and that's what Andy Reid is embracing right
19:20
Speaker 1: now is, yes, I want to throw the ball every
19:23
Speaker 1: single down, but I would be a fool not to
19:28
Speaker 1: do that when we are running the ball so effectively.
19:30
Speaker 1: We brought this guy in. For this. We wanted this.
19:37
Speaker 1: But make no mistake, I can't wait to call my
19:39
Speaker 1: next pass. Of course. Yeah.
19:42
Speaker 2: So, yeah.
19:43
Speaker 1: Just a slight, slight correction uh, to, to that comment, but, um,
19:49
Speaker 1: but no, certainly two guys that understood the value of
19:52
Speaker 1: the running game.
19:53
Speaker 2: All right.
19:53
Speaker 1: Coming up next factor fiction at seven 35. Uh, also, uh,
19:58
Speaker 1: was that the best win of the year so far
19:59
Speaker 1: for your Seattle crack and sports radio, 93.3 KJR FM.
20:04
Speaker 4: Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday
20:07
Speaker 4: with Chuck in the Morning on your home for the NFL.
20:11
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM.
20:12
Speaker 4: Now Seattle breaks it.
20:19
Speaker 2: Up the right side.
20:20
Speaker 1: McMahon shoots. That one through the pads of.
20:23
Speaker 2: The milk gun.
20:23
Speaker 1: Goes off the side of the goal. McMahon again. Back door. Scores!
20:30
Speaker 6: Mackie Samuskevich. Goes toward the goal. Crashing the net. He'll
20:36
Speaker 6: finish the play. And the Kraken regain their lead. It's
20:41
Speaker 6: a 4-3 edge with 5.25 left in regulation.
20:48
Speaker 1: Oh, Sammy Samaskiewicz making an impact there last night with
20:51
Speaker 1: the go-ahead goal. And it ended up being the game-winning goal.
20:56
Speaker 1: The Kraken with a nice win over the Mammoth last night.
21:00
Speaker 1: Everett Fitzhugh on the call right here on your flagship.
21:03
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. We're going to play some
21:06
Speaker 1: factor fiction coming up at 735, but we had to
21:09
Speaker 1: spend a couple minutes on this game here today, Anders,
21:13
Speaker 1: because this has to be considered the best win of
21:16
Speaker 1: the season so far.
21:17
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
21:17
Speaker 7: You can't see it any other way. That's the first
21:19
Speaker 7: time that the Kraken have taken what everyone believes to
21:22
Speaker 7: be a really good team. Stay in the cup contender
21:26
Speaker 7: or not, I think it's kind of right on the
21:28
Speaker 7: edge with the Utah Mammoth, but the By no stretch
21:30
Speaker 7: of the imagination are they a bad team. They're one
21:33
Speaker 7: of the teams that everyone loves, and ESPN loved talking
21:35
Speaker 7: about them last night. I'll tell you that right now.
21:37
Speaker 3: Oh, really?
21:37
Speaker 7: They just could not stop talking about Utah the entire game.
21:40
Speaker 7: Said barely two words about the Kraken, but that's okay.
21:42
Speaker 3: That's who we are.
21:43
Speaker 1: Are you sure you're not reading into this? This is
21:45
Speaker 1: something Seattle people do sometimes.
21:46
Speaker 7: I know it is, but the Kraken are very much,
21:49
Speaker 7: if there's any team that is absolutely a victim of that,
21:55
Speaker 7: it is the Seattle Kraken.
21:56
Speaker 3: All right.
21:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
21:57
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it because I couldn't find it. We
21:58
Speaker 1: couldn't find it in the bar because it was streaming
22:00
Speaker 1: last night.
22:01
Speaker 3: ESPN Plus.
22:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so it was just not available to us.
22:05
Speaker 7: Even during like the intermissions, they were talking about like, oh,
22:07
Speaker 7: all the trade talk that Utah might be in on.
22:09
Speaker 7: And it was like they said Grubauer was Russian. And
22:14
Speaker 7: it was just all these things that you could just
22:16
Speaker 7: tell they just, yeah, no.
22:18
Speaker 3: That's just, no.
22:19
Speaker 5: Anyways.
22:21
Speaker 1: You know, it is kind of funny that they just
22:23
Speaker 1: decided not to study the Kraken at all and just
22:26
Speaker 1: make up facts about the team because they operated with
22:29
Speaker 1: nobody's watching from Seattle anyway. We only have a Utah audience.
22:35
Speaker 1: That would actually be kind of funny if they just decided,
22:38
Speaker 1: let's see what kind of reaction we get. We're going
22:41
Speaker 1: to give legitimate facts about The mammoth. Yeah. But the Kraken,
22:45
Speaker 1: we're just going to make up their backgrounds as we go.
22:48
Speaker 1: It was so bad. Matty Beneers scores the goal. He's
22:53
Speaker 1: only 19 years old.
22:56
Speaker 3: They called Berkeley Cat and Caton a couple times.
22:59
Speaker 1: Get out of the south of France, Caton, Caton.
23:04
Speaker 7: The veteran Russian netminder in Philip Grubauer.
23:07
Speaker 1: One of 14 kids just made up stuff as they went.
23:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's kind of the vibe I got last night,
23:15
Speaker 7: to be completely honest.
23:16
Speaker 1: You may be right.
23:17
Speaker 7: The Kraken come out with the victory, and it definitely
23:20
Speaker 7: is the win of the early season so far. And that's, what,
23:23
Speaker 7: 15 points through the first, what is that?
23:27
Speaker 1: I saw this momentarily flash across the screen. I don't
23:30
Speaker 1: know if I saw it the right way. It's their
23:31
Speaker 1: best start.
23:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like we've said that the last three years.
23:36
Speaker 1: I thought I saw it on the screen that their
23:39
Speaker 1: 15 points are the most they've had through 11 games
23:43
Speaker 1: in franchise history. So maybe I didn't see it the
23:46
Speaker 1: right way. Feel free to correct me. I probably shouldn't
23:50
Speaker 1: throw out a stat that I don't know for sure
23:52
Speaker 1: is the case. But I think I saw that.
23:55
Speaker 3: It is the best.
23:56
Speaker 1: So, hey, there you go. Let's go.
23:59
Speaker 3: Let's keep it rolling.
24:00
Speaker 1: Best start. And a lot of really good reasons for it.
24:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:03
Speaker 7: They're playing well. They're goaltending. Philip Rubera looks fantastic, whether
24:09
Speaker 7: he's Russian or German. The fourth line, it looks a
24:14
Speaker 7: lot like the playoff team, to be completely honest. You
24:16
Speaker 7: have top-to-bottom scoring. And the big thing for me is,
24:19
Speaker 7: if you had all that stuff, it would be questionable
24:21
Speaker 7: whether it's sustainable. But the fact that you're getting breakout
24:25
Speaker 7: performances from players like Berkley, Katton, from players like Shane Wright,
24:29
Speaker 7: who looks like a much better player, a much improved
24:31
Speaker 7: player than he has been the last couple of years.
24:33
Speaker 7: If those guys who were expected to be the kind
24:36
Speaker 7: of the guys that were driving the offense, so to speak,
24:40
Speaker 7: if they do take a massive step, which we've been
24:42
Speaker 7: waiting for for a long time, that is the one
24:45
Speaker 7: way in which this Kraken team can kind of get
24:49
Speaker 7: out of the mediocrity territory. So if that ends up happening,
24:52
Speaker 7: that's a huge step.
24:53
Speaker 1: There was a large stretch of last season where I'm
24:56
Speaker 1: not sure they were doing anything well. They weren't scoring.
24:59
Speaker 1: They weren't effective on the power play. They weren't effective
25:01
Speaker 1: killing the power play. Decord didn't have a good year
25:06
Speaker 1: when he was in that a year ago. Grubauer's actually
25:09
Speaker 1: better than him a season ago. I don't know if
25:14
Speaker 1: people were accusing him they weren't playing tough. Oleksiak was
25:17
Speaker 1: getting all sorts of criticism as the thumper. All of that.
25:21
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure. There were stretches of time
25:23
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they were doing anything well. I'm not
25:25
Speaker 1: sure they were doing anything poorly there. so far through
25:28
Speaker 1: 11 games. I guess the only thing that you could
25:30
Speaker 1: point out is that they've blown two multi-goal leads at
25:34
Speaker 1: home in the third period the last two games, but
25:36
Speaker 1: they still maxed out with their four points.
25:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, and their penalty kill still isn't great. It's 27th
25:40
Speaker 7: in the league right now. You did play against the
25:43
Speaker 7: best power play in the league last night, and they
25:45
Speaker 7: get two power play goals, so that is somewhat explainable
25:49
Speaker 7: but if that ends up improving that's the only hole
25:52
Speaker 7: i can think of at this point because they're fourth
25:54
Speaker 7: in scoring in the nhl fourth most goals for game
25:57
Speaker 7: that's not the cracking that i'm used to but i love.
25:59
Speaker 1: It well well according to espn lanny limbert uh last
26:03
Speaker 1: night from atlanta georgia lenny limbert from atlanta made his
26:09
Speaker 1: 14 sisters proud last night By guiding his team to
26:13
Speaker 1: a victory over the Utah Mammoth. Yeah. Let's play some
26:18
Speaker 1: Factor Fiction. We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
26:21

26:47
Speaker 3: Reading off the kid menu. Having some hot dogs over there?
26:50
Speaker 1: Hamburgers.
26:51
Speaker 3: Hamburgers.
26:52
Speaker 2: Okay.
26:53
Speaker 3: Chicken strips.
26:54
Speaker 1: First time I'm ever doing this.
26:56
Speaker 2: Okay.
26:57
Speaker 1: Taking the under.
26:58
Speaker 3: Wow.
26:59
Speaker 8: Tampa Bay, Carolina, under 44 and a half points.
27:04
Speaker 1: Baker's back. I don't care. You don't care.
27:06
Speaker 3: Their offense is.
27:09
Speaker 8: Mid.
27:09
Speaker 3: That's your. Fantasy quarterback you're talking about there. I don't
27:12
Speaker 3: need him to.
27:12
Speaker 1: I don't need him.
27:13
Speaker 8: I don't need him to throw a bunch of touchdowns.
27:16
Speaker 8: He can complete a bunch of passes. I mean, I
27:18
Speaker 8: could care less. I'm taking the under. 44 and a half.
27:22
Speaker 8: Tampa Bay, Carolina. Tampa Bay at Carolina, excuse me.
27:25
Speaker 1: All right.
27:26
Speaker 3: Carolina offense is pretty good.
27:27
Speaker 6: Yeah.
27:28
Speaker 3: Okay.
27:29
Speaker 4: Okay.
27:30
Speaker 5: All right.
27:31
Speaker 1: Under 44 and a half. Tampa Bay, Carolina. Defensive battle.
27:34
Speaker 1: That's what you're calling for.
27:36
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just hoping they don't go over 45. How
27:38
Speaker 3: does that sound? No matter what it looks like, just
27:42
Speaker 3: get the results.
27:42
Speaker 6: 21-20?
27:43
Speaker 1: Take it. That is at the heart of your point.
27:46
Speaker 1: No question. All right, if you agree with that, if
27:50
Speaker 1: you're looking at a low-scoring game between the Buccaneers and
27:52
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, what you're going to do is text
27:55
Speaker 1: FACT to 49451. If you disagree, you're going to text
27:58
Speaker 1: FICTION to 49451.
27:59
Speaker 3: If you're right.
28:02
Speaker 1: We enter your name into a drawing at the end

28:10
Speaker 1: running out of chances, running out of time to get
28:12
Speaker 1: into that weekly drawing. And if you're already in the drawing,
28:16
Speaker 1: maybe you feel like, I think I'm going to get

29:23
Speaker 1: yesterday that I think people need to understand the significance of.
29:28
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
29:32
Speaker 4: Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday
29:35
Speaker 4: with Chuck in the Morning on your home for the NFL.
29:39
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Oh, it's a Friday, a
29:54
Speaker 1: football Friday, and yeah, this is the type of day
29:59
Speaker 1: where you're just like, hey, you know what? I'm going
30:02
Speaker 1: to drive to the casino today. I'm going to just
30:05
Speaker 1: have myself a ball. and then I'm not going to
30:08
Speaker 1: worry about driving home or anything. That's nonsense. They got
30:12
Speaker 1: hotel rooms, and they're nice and stuff. So I'm just
30:15
Speaker 1: going to head up to Tulalip Resort Casino here on
30:17
Speaker 1: a Friday night, have myself a Friday night, and roll
30:20
Speaker 1: it on into a Sunday, Saturday morning, maybe even a
30:24
Speaker 1: Sunday morning before I'm done. I can just do casino
30:28
Speaker 1: floor on a Friday night, and I can just spend
30:30
Speaker 1: my whole Saturday in the DraftKings Sportsbook. It's just more
30:34
Speaker 1: of everything. At Tulalip Resort Casino. So maybe give that
30:37
Speaker 1: a shot this evening. It is Chuck. It is Anders.
30:40
Speaker 1: It is Christopher Kidd. We've got the Ocho coming up
30:42
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. Your eight top stories
30:45
Speaker 1: of the day here on this Friday. One of the
30:48
Speaker 1: stories that will not make the eight top stories of
30:50
Speaker 1: the day. But this is a really significant story. For
30:54
Speaker 1: college football fans out there that are wondering what is
30:56
Speaker 1: the future going to look like in five, ten years.
30:59
Speaker 1: What programs will college football make sure they protect? How
31:05
Speaker 1: much further can we go in this money grab? Well,
31:08
Speaker 1: Miami yesterday made a statement, made it known. Their president,
31:14
Speaker 1: Joe Echevarria, says that his school is a proud member
31:18
Speaker 1: of the ACC but is open to conference realignment talks.
31:23
Speaker 1: In other words, he said, we're in a second-tier conference
31:26
Speaker 1: right now, and he's basically hinting that we need to
31:31
Speaker 1: get to the Big Ten now. and to the SEC
31:33
Speaker 1: because these chumps that I'm stuck with, that I'm so
31:37
Speaker 1: proud to be stuck with.
31:38
Speaker 3: Proud member!
31:39
Speaker 7: Yes.
31:41
Speaker 1: They're dragging us down. So I need to get our
31:44
Speaker 1: program with the college football elite, and those two conferences
31:49
Speaker 1: are the Big Ten and the SEC. So this is
31:54
Speaker 1: his warning salvo. And if this happens... Because I'm telling you,
32:00
Speaker 1: I know Cougs fans want to blame the Huskies for
32:03
Speaker 1: the Pac-12 breaking up, but it was UCLA and USC.
32:11
Speaker 1: And the reason that I say that so boldly is
32:16
Speaker 1: that maybe UW didn't want to stay, but once they
32:19
Speaker 1: made that move, all of a sudden it was, you
32:22
Speaker 1: had to make the move to protect yourself against being
32:27
Speaker 1: left behind.
32:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:28
Speaker 1: You had to, if they would take you, follow that lead.
32:33
Speaker 1: If Miami leaves, North Carolina is going to be like,
32:38
Speaker 1: I know. Now that is a proud member of the ACC,
32:43
Speaker 1: but would they have a choice? If Miami leaves, like,
32:48
Speaker 1: because Miami leaves that conference, From a football standpoint, we
32:53
Speaker 1: can't look at that conference and put it on the
32:56
Speaker 1: same level and give it an automatic berth into the
32:58
Speaker 1: tournament like we do the SEC and the Big Ten.
33:01
Speaker 1: It doesn't involve... Right now, it's hard to include them
33:05
Speaker 1: in the same conversation. If Miami leaves, it's going to
33:08
Speaker 1: encourage somebody else to leave. And everybody's going to start
33:11
Speaker 1: looking out for themselves because they don't want to get
33:13
Speaker 1: left behind. And this is the fear, is that... we
33:18
Speaker 1: are moving, and I've talked about this in Reckless at
33:21
Speaker 1: Breakfast for years now, that we're eventually going to move
33:24
Speaker 1: to like a two-conference college football alignment with like 20
33:30
Speaker 1: teams each, and that's going to be it. That's all
33:35
Speaker 1: that's going to be in college football are those 40
33:38
Speaker 1: teams and 40 Division I teams, if you will, and
33:43
Speaker 1: everybody else is going to get left behind. Now, We've
33:46
Speaker 1: talked about it in Reckless at Breakfast. I think there's
33:48
Speaker 1: a way to make that work. I agree. Because I
33:50
Speaker 1: do believe that's inevitable, what's going to happen. But for
33:53
Speaker 1: those that fear that that's where we're heading, and there
33:57
Speaker 1: are only going to be 40 programs that matter, and
33:59
Speaker 1: there are two conferences with 10 divisions each, and that's it.
34:03
Speaker 1: It's just going to be the SEC and the Big Ten,
34:05
Speaker 1: and then everybody else is Division II football. For those
34:08
Speaker 1: of you that are worried about that, this Miami thing...
34:11
Speaker 1: they can't be allowed to go. And I'm not saying
34:14
Speaker 1: that Miami should feel guilty about it, because they're looking
34:17
Speaker 1: out for their best interest. But if they go, that
34:21
Speaker 1: starts the same avalanche, and then guess what? The Big
34:24
Speaker 1: 12's going to follow suit as well. And we will
34:27
Speaker 1: be down to those two conferences, and those will be
34:30
Speaker 1: the only two conferences that matter. And so, for those
34:32
Speaker 1: that have feared that, that Miami story is a big
34:36
Speaker 1: story from yesterday.
34:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's just going to be one more
34:40
Speaker 7: big program that feels like it has to be one
34:43
Speaker 7: of part of one of those two conferences and it's
34:47
Speaker 7: just a step closer to I agree with you the
34:49
Speaker 7: inevitability that that is where we're coming to I don't
34:53
Speaker 7: know what that would look like if you go into
34:56
Speaker 7: an east-west situation There's been talks of promotion relegation too,
35:01
Speaker 7: like the last place team goes down and the first
35:04
Speaker 7: place team from the group of six at that point,
35:06
Speaker 7: group of seven actually, would come up, right?
35:09
Speaker 3: Or two and two, whatever that looks like. Soccer guy
35:11
Speaker 3: talking here.
35:12
Speaker 7: I love that personally, but it's completely different to what
35:16
Speaker 7: anything we're used to here in American sports. But yeah,
35:18
Speaker 7: I mean, it's going to look, whatever it is, it's
35:21
Speaker 7: going to look completely different in the next couple of years,
35:24
Speaker 7: especially if this Miami piece ends up happening.
35:26
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the Reckless at Breakfast that I did
35:28
Speaker 1: on this topic Because I've been warning it for a
35:30
Speaker 1: while that I think that's where it's eventually going to go.
35:33
Speaker 1: The fear of that is that the NFL, once you
35:35
Speaker 1: get down to 30, like 40 teams, they're just like,
35:38
Speaker 1: we'll take over from here.
35:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's minor league football.
35:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. We'll just take over from here. You've reduced it
35:44
Speaker 1: enough that all the top recruits are coming to these
35:47
Speaker 1: 40 schools and we have 32 teams and the numbers
35:51
Speaker 1: match up pretty well. We'll just take over. We're just
35:54
Speaker 1: going to buy college football. That is a possibility. in
35:59
Speaker 1: the future, but there could be a silver lining in
36:02
Speaker 1: this for those that still want to hold on to
36:05
Speaker 1: the way college football used to be and miss the
36:07
Speaker 1: way college football used to be. You know, when they
36:09
Speaker 1: just paid people under the table. And that is, Anders,
36:14
Speaker 1: if you got to the 40 teams, and maybe it's
36:18
Speaker 1: even fewer than, maybe it is 32, and they operated
36:21
Speaker 1: like professional minor league football, and they just used the brands, Michigan, helmet,
36:30
Speaker 1: you know, USC's brand out of LA, you know, if
36:35
Speaker 1: they just use the brands, is there a world out
36:39
Speaker 1: there where the rest of college football goes back to
36:42
Speaker 1: being college football, where it's about being a, getting a degree, right?
36:47
Speaker 1: And it is about, Hey, the door's not closed for
36:50
Speaker 1: us to play professional football. We're just not going to
36:54
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Iron sharpens iron thing that
36:57
Speaker 1: the players are on the 40 elite clubs get to do,
37:02
Speaker 1: but we can still find our way. I mean, Damian
37:05
Speaker 1: Lillard didn't go to a power five conference to sharpen
37:09
Speaker 1: his basketball skills, right? There's still, we could, we could
37:12
Speaker 1: have college football back just knowing that the best college
37:16
Speaker 1: football players are playing in the minor league. But maybe
37:23
Speaker 1: that's something that actually would work. And now you've got
37:25
Speaker 1: three things to root for. You actually have actual old school, I.
37:29
Speaker 9: Go to school to go to school, and I play
37:32
Speaker 9: college football on a scholarship. And then minor league football,
37:42
Speaker 9: which would be a separate thing that could be played
37:44
Speaker 9: maybe in the spring.
37:46
Speaker 2: Sure.
37:47
Speaker 1: And then the National Football League as well. We would
37:49
Speaker 1: have three different leagues that I think people might be
37:52
Speaker 1: interested in.
37:53
Speaker 3: Yeah.
37:55
Speaker 1: It just seems so shockingly wrong that it's hard for
37:59
Speaker 1: people to wrap their brains around it.
38:01
Speaker 3: People don't like change.
38:02
Speaker 1: But I've been feeling that this is going to happen
38:06
Speaker 1: the moment UCLA and USC left. I felt that this
38:09
Speaker 1: is what we were going to.
38:10
Speaker 2: Right.
38:11
Speaker 1: And once Miami makes the decision, and I can almost...
38:15
Speaker 1: guaranteed they're going to make that decision. Then big 12 schools,
38:19
Speaker 1: the top big 12 schools and the top ACC schools
38:23
Speaker 1: that don't want to be left financially behind are going
38:26
Speaker 1: to crawl over broken glass to join them, to try
38:30
Speaker 1: and convince the SEC and the big 10 to take them.
38:33
Speaker 2: Yep.
38:33
Speaker 6: Get rid of Maryland.
38:34
Speaker 1: Take us, you know? Yeah. Oh, you know, kick, Kick
38:41
Speaker 1: out Northwestern. You want Utah. That's going to start happening
38:45
Speaker 1: soon if Miami starts that new avalanche rolling by jumping
38:49
Speaker 1: into one of the big two conferences. All right, Ocho's
38:52
Speaker 1: next on KJR.
