0:42
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Anders Hurst came back for
0:47
Speaker 1: another week. Uh, very bold of you. Very brave of you, especially, uh,
0:52
Speaker 1: considering all of those people that said you were making
0:55
Speaker 1: the biggest mistake of your life. Oh, who said that? Oh,
0:58
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Everyone. A lot of people. Did
1:00
Speaker 1: Travis say that? Uh, Travis was one of them. Um, yeah,
1:04
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Rich Moore. Oh yeah. Yeah, that
1:07
Speaker 1: makes sense. The guy that put you in this position. Right, right.
1:10
Speaker 1: He was like, what a mistake. What about you? What
1:12
Speaker 1: do you think?
1:13
Speaker 2: No, no.
1:14
Speaker 1: I think this is going to make your life.
1:16
Speaker 2: Oh, great.
1:17
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be the greatest decision
1:18
Speaker 1: of your entire existence. Wow. Better than your wife. Jeez.
1:22
Speaker 1: Your decision to have children. Oh, wow. Your decision to
1:24
Speaker 1: be a law-abiding citizen. I think this is the biggest
1:27
Speaker 1: and best thing you've ever done.
1:28
Speaker 3: I mean, it has a shot for having the most
1:31
Speaker 3: effect on everything, considering the- Hey, think about it that way.
1:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, right? Yeah.
1:35
Speaker 2: Right?
1:35
Speaker 3: So, you know, we'll- I'll take that with a grain
1:37
Speaker 3: of salt and kind of move forward with it.
1:39
Speaker 1: But, no, I'm back. I'm back. Good.
1:41
Speaker 3: It's the first, like, hey, I got normal sleep over
1:44
Speaker 3: the weekend, and now we're good to go.
1:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you've got to get readjusted right back again.
1:48
Speaker 1: It's all good, though. Yeah, we're ready to go. All right, well,
1:50
Speaker 1: great to have you with us. Of course, we've got
1:53
Speaker 1: a lot of football to discuss and a little bit
1:56
Speaker 1: of baseball here on this Monday morning. My name is
1:59
Speaker 1: Chuck Powell and it is great to have you with us.
2:02
Speaker 1: And we know what's really great about today's show is
2:04
Speaker 1: this is the first Monday morning quarterback that truly aligns.
2:08
Speaker 1: Like we've had a few Monday morning quarterbacks, a couple
2:12
Speaker 1: on Thursday, a couple on Friday, but we, and we've
2:18
Speaker 1: even had one on Monday. Right. But we've never had
2:21
Speaker 1: an actual regular season Monday morning quarterback on a Monday.
2:25
Speaker 1: The day after a game. At least not since the
2:29
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run. And so here we go on a
2:32
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback. We are going to have the full
2:36
Speaker 1: lineup for you here today. Greg Bell will join us
2:39
Speaker 1: at 7.05 and Hugh Millen for two hours today starting
2:42
Speaker 1: at 8 o'clock. So welcome in to the show. We'll
2:46
Speaker 1: set you up for all of that. We get in
2:48
Speaker 1: the first couple of hours to talk about the game ourselves.
2:52
Speaker 1: And then we set you up for a few other
2:54
Speaker 1: things here. before 8 o'clock begins. So let's get it started.
2:59
Speaker 1: Seahawks are now 2-0 on the season with a 31-7
3:04
Speaker 1: win over the Arizona Cardinals. The score was actually tied
3:08
Speaker 1: at halftime at 7 apiece, and then all of a sudden,
3:12
Speaker 1: Greatness took over. And look, I've made it a pattern
3:17
Speaker 1: in my career. I've really tried because I would accuse
3:22
Speaker 1: almost every sports talk show host in America. of overusing
3:27
Speaker 1: the word great. So I have made it a point
3:30
Speaker 1: in my life, uh, in my career, not to overuse
3:33
Speaker 1: the word great. I really truly try to, uh, save
3:38
Speaker 1: it for when something or someone is great. And yeah,
3:43
Speaker 1: every once in a while I'll make a mistake and
3:45
Speaker 1: slip up and I tend to course correct immediately. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
3:50
Speaker 1: That's not great. Uh, And I will probably correct you
3:54
Speaker 1: at times because you're probably going to overuse the word.
3:58
Speaker 1: And I will probably say, no, that's not great. So
4:01
Speaker 1: I'm just warning you in advance. But I really do
4:03
Speaker 1: try to reserve using the word great for true greatness.
4:09
Speaker 1: And the truth of the matter is, here in Seattle,
4:13
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, we are at the beginning, potentially, of
4:20
Speaker 1: two of the great careers in NFL history. Number one,
4:25
Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a moment, JSN is so flippin' great.
4:34
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no conversation. I know Jamar Chase is great, too.
4:39
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is great, too. He's not better than our guy.
4:42
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. JSN is greatness, and he is just getting started,
4:48
Speaker 1: it feels like. And when Mike McDonald said in the
4:52
Speaker 1: preseason where he was caught on hard knocks, he didn't
4:55
Speaker 1: tell us, caught on hard knocks saying, he looks even
4:58
Speaker 1: better this year. He looks unstoppable. He is unstoppable. That
5:03
Speaker 1: wasn't just coach speak. He looks unstoppable. Doesn't matter what quarterback,
5:08
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what defense you use, doesn't matter what you
5:11
Speaker 1: try to do against that guy, he is going to produce,
5:14
Speaker 1: and it looks like, at an even higher rate this year.
5:17
Speaker 1: But I want to put a pin in that because
5:18
Speaker 1: I want to cover the other one. Mike McDonald is
5:22
Speaker 1: just true greatness. And I heard that there was a
5:27
Speaker 1: conversation going on on social media. Is he already the
5:31
Speaker 1: greatest Seahawks head coach of all time? And I think
5:34
Speaker 1: there's an argument to be made for him being that.
5:37
Speaker 1: But I also get the other argument. Hey, let's give
5:40
Speaker 1: it a little more time. You know, Mike Holmgren was
5:42
Speaker 1: a coach for a long period of time with the Seahawks.
5:45
Speaker 1: So was Pete Carroll. 14 years, for goodness sake. I mean,
5:48
Speaker 1: just the length of those runs have to be respected,
5:52
Speaker 1: and there's no question about it. I would argue that
5:56
Speaker 1: not only is Mike McDonald, this early in his time
5:59
Speaker 1: as Seahawks head coach, on track to become the greatest
6:03
Speaker 1: head coach in Seahawks history, he's on track to be
6:05
Speaker 1: the greatest head coach in football history. Wow. For this
6:10
Speaker 1: much success, this early on, And the things that he does,
6:16
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, if you're going to beat the Seattle Seahawks,
6:19
Speaker 1: you better score as many points as you can in
6:22
Speaker 1: the first quarter and then hold on for dear life
6:26
Speaker 1: because you aren't doing anything in the second half once
6:30
Speaker 1: this guy figures out what you're trying to do. Once
6:33
Speaker 1: he figures out, like, all right, here's what they're trying
6:35
Speaker 1: to do. They got us. They got us in the
6:37
Speaker 1: first quarter. You know, Drake Mays running around a little bit.
6:40
Speaker 1: You know, Jacoby Brissett and Trey McBride. Okay, they got us.
6:44
Speaker 1: You got me. We're going to adjust right now, and
6:47
Speaker 1: you're done. And then by the time I get into
6:50
Speaker 1: the locker room, it's over. And I come out in
6:53
Speaker 1: the second half, you're not even going to get a
6:55
Speaker 1: first down. I mean, good luck. Look at this, Anders.
7:00
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett in the second half of a football game
7:03
Speaker 1: that they were trailing and had to throw in the
7:07
Speaker 1: second half was five for nine for 23 yards. They
7:15
Speaker 1: rushed for 42 yards in the first half. They rushed
7:18
Speaker 1: for 28 in the second half, and even that's misleading
7:21
Speaker 1: because Bam Knight had two meaningless carries for 24 yards
7:24
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. They had four rushing
7:27
Speaker 1: yards in the second half of the game. In the
7:31
Speaker 1: first quarter, Arizona had run 20 plays to our five.
7:35
Speaker 1: For the rest of the game, they ran 27 plays
7:39
Speaker 1: to our 62. They held the ball for 12 minutes
7:43
Speaker 1: and 39 seconds in the first quarter. For the rest
7:47
Speaker 1: of the game, they held the ball for fewer than
7:50
Speaker 1: 11 minutes. They had five first downs in the first quarter.
7:56
Speaker 1: For the rest of the game, they had five first downs. Hey,
8:01
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, you studied our film. You saw
8:06
Speaker 1: what we did last week. You prepared for that. You
8:10
Speaker 1: came out, you moved the ball. You even got some
8:14
Speaker 1: points off of us. But by the time I adjust
8:18
Speaker 1: to what you're doing, you are effed. And we have
8:23
Speaker 1: seen it now two weeks in a row. First with
8:25
Speaker 1: Drake May, NFL MVP runner-up, and then this week against
8:30
Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinals team that's not supposed to be very good,
8:33
Speaker 1: that wasn't supposed to beat the Seahawks, but lo and behold,
8:37
Speaker 1: completely outplayed us for a quarter. And at halftime, the
8:40
Speaker 1: score was tied at seven. But once our head coach
8:44
Speaker 1: sunk his teeth into what you spent all week preparing
8:48
Speaker 1: to do, you were finished. He is gone. Greatness. Period.
8:55
Speaker 1: And he's just getting started. I said it before the year.
8:57
Speaker 1: The Coastal should just give him a 10-year, $ 300 million
9:00
Speaker 1: contract and try to keep him for life. And now
9:03
Speaker 1: I'm going to bump it up. 10 years, $ 500 million.
9:06
Speaker 1: 10 years, $ 500 million to keep the greatest coach in
9:09
Speaker 1: the national football league. Wow. I mean.
9:11
Speaker 3: I think the conversation has been there, not greatest of
9:15
Speaker 3: all time with Mike McDonald, but at least in the NFL.
9:18
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. I'm not saying great. It's like,
9:21
Speaker 1: you know, it's like he's on track to be. It's
9:23
Speaker 1: like Lane Kiffin, you know, or excuse me, Dabo Sweeney
9:27
Speaker 1: comparing his freshman quarterback to Tim Tebow. Right.
9:29
Speaker 2: Right.
9:30
Speaker 1: He wasn't saying like he's going to accomplish the same things.
9:33
Speaker 1: We're still very early in the process. but I'm just
9:36
Speaker 1: saying in terms of off to the start, the start
9:39
Speaker 1: that he's off to, I mean, he's only getting better.
9:43
Speaker 1: I mean, you've won a championship in your first two
9:46
Speaker 1: years and then in your third year, you've improved. You've
9:51
Speaker 1: gotten better. So yeah, I think that it's too early
9:55
Speaker 1: to even say he's better than Pete Carroll as the
9:57
Speaker 1: Seahawks head coach or Mike Holmgren as the Seahawks head coach.
10:01
Speaker 1: But he projects to maybe be better than anyone that's
10:05
Speaker 1: ever coached in this league. Absolutely.
10:07
Speaker 3: And I think as of now, I still think he's
10:10
Speaker 3: the best coach in the NFL right now. Like, better
10:12
Speaker 3: than Kyle Shanahan, better than Sean McVay. Anyone else you
10:15
Speaker 3: want to throw out there, I'd say Andy Reid. I
10:18
Speaker 3: think he's... Right now, he is a better coach. I
10:21
Speaker 3: would take him preparing for one game with any roster. Okay,
10:27
Speaker 3: not any roster, but with a good roster. And I
10:31
Speaker 3: would take him preparing... Over anyone. And coaching in-game, in-game
10:35
Speaker 3: adjustments is what you talked about as well. It's mind-blowing
10:38
Speaker 3: the fact that, you know, take away the fact that
10:41
Speaker 3: they have a backup quarterback for basically two games, right? Like, yes,
10:46
Speaker 3: that is in and of itself already a feat that
10:48
Speaker 3: you're 2-0 with basically having a backup quarterback play for
10:52
Speaker 3: the entirety of two games. But on his defense, that
10:56
Speaker 3: has been the dominant force. You could think, okay, well,
10:58
Speaker 3: the backup quarterback, you can win because your defense is
11:02
Speaker 3: so dominant. You still haven't had two of your starters
11:03
Speaker 3: on defense, basically, for the entire first two games.
11:06
Speaker 1: I was surprised to see Imanwuri suit up at all,
11:08
Speaker 1: but he played sparingly. Like a few snaps here and there. Yeah,
11:12
Speaker 1: certainly not number three. No, no.
11:14
Speaker 3: I mean, and they just kind of easing him back in.
11:16
Speaker 3: Maybe if the game was, you know, a different... type
11:19
Speaker 3: of game it's a lot closer at the end of
11:21
Speaker 3: the game you probably sprinkle him in a little bit
11:23
Speaker 3: more but no tile caught on the first couple games
11:25
Speaker 3: no no even worry and this defense looks like you
11:28
Speaker 3: said even better than it was last year which is
11:31
Speaker 3: I still don't know how that's possible but it's true
11:35
Speaker 3: it's crazy to me I mean one thing to.
11:36
Speaker 1: Beat the Cardinals it's a one it's another thing to
11:38
Speaker 1: say all right you had your little fun we've made
11:41
Speaker 1: our adjustments I'll make more at halftime good luck moving
11:45
Speaker 1: the ball an inch yeah Literally. Good luck completing a
11:49
Speaker 1: pass that isn't just a check down or a Trey
11:52
Speaker 1: McBride releases from the line of scrimmage, we throw him
11:55
Speaker 1: a two-yard pass and he runs for four more. That's
11:59
Speaker 1: all they got accomplished in the entire second half of
12:02
Speaker 1: an NFL football game.
12:05
Speaker 3: After moving the ball really well in the first quarter. Yeah,
12:07
Speaker 3: and you saw what made them successful against the Chargers
12:09
Speaker 3: in week one. Jacoby Brissett, as bad as we made
12:14
Speaker 3: him look, He's like no longer a backup quarterback in
12:18
Speaker 3: this league.
12:18
Speaker 1: He is a starting quarterback. They lit up the Chargers
12:21
Speaker 1: last week. Yes. When you did your fantasy draft, I
12:24
Speaker 1: promise you the rankings that you used, whatever site you used,
12:28
Speaker 1: had the Chargers ranked as a starting defense in your
12:31
Speaker 1: fantasy league. Absolutely. And they lit them up a week ago.
12:33
Speaker 1: Forget about Justin Herbert's struggles and Mike McDaniel's struggles. The defense.
12:37
Speaker 1: The Chargers' defense, and they lit them up. And they
12:40
Speaker 1: started off really well in the first quarter against the Hawks.
12:44
Speaker 1: They did. And then all of a sudden, Mike McDonald's like,
12:46
Speaker 1: that's enough of that. I've had just about enough of that. Yeah.
12:52
Speaker 1: So if you're going to score against the Hawks, you
12:54
Speaker 1: better do it in the first quarter, and you better
12:56
Speaker 1: win the game 10-7. That's your chance, because you're not
13:00
Speaker 1: scoring again after the first quarter. That's the way it
13:03
Speaker 1: feels right now. Yeah, absolutely.
13:04
Speaker 3: And I think, obviously, we have to give tons of
13:08
Speaker 3: credit to the players as well, because... It's not only
13:12
Speaker 3: the coach's job to adjust in game and make sure
13:17
Speaker 3: that you are able to adapt to whatever the other
13:21
Speaker 3: team is throwing at you. Maybe if it's not what
13:23
Speaker 3: you prepared for all week, but the players have to...
13:27
Speaker 3: be able to understand that execution. That's not taking anything
13:31
Speaker 3: away from the players.
13:32
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams was phenomenal. Julian Love has been maybe the
13:36
Speaker 1: best player on the team through two weeks, not named
13:39
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba. You have to have the personnel.
13:44
Speaker 1: He'll tell you that as well. But he also took
13:46
Speaker 1: Drake Thomas, who had a terrific game yesterday, grabbed him
13:50
Speaker 1: off the street. He's basically like a you know, a
13:54
Speaker 1: backstreet boy is what he looks like. And he turns
13:57
Speaker 1: them into a starting stud linebacker on a world championship team.
14:02
Speaker 1: So it's just incredible what this guy does. And then
14:05
Speaker 1: let's circle back to JSN because I think we need
14:08
Speaker 1: to spend a little bit more time on him. And look,
14:11
Speaker 1: I respect all of the evaluation and I understand that
14:14
Speaker 1: it makes logical sense to say that a team needs
14:17
Speaker 1: to be balanced and their receiving room needs to be deep.
14:21
Speaker 1: You need multiple options. Yeah. Right. And you, you need to,
14:26
Speaker 1: you gotta get others involved and you gotta have a
14:29
Speaker 1: running game to balance. I get that. That all makes
14:33
Speaker 1: logical sense. I'm 55 years old. I've watched football since
14:36
Speaker 1: I was three. I mean, that all makes perfect sense
14:38
Speaker 1: to me. And under normal circumstances, I'm right there singing
14:43
Speaker 1: with the choir. I don't think it matters. I think
14:48
Speaker 1: he can get open against any Double team, any defense,
14:53
Speaker 1: he will find the hole in the defense. He will
14:56
Speaker 1: shake free. He's not even the greatest athlete on the
14:59
Speaker 1: football field. Doesn't matter. The guy is unstoppable. Sam Darnold,
15:03
Speaker 1: Drew Locke, doesn't matter. If your game plan is coming
15:07
Speaker 1: into it, make sure you don't get sacked and just
15:11
Speaker 1: look for 11 and you're safe. Yeah. And you're going
15:14
Speaker 1: to be successful. He's that good. And look, we've seen
15:18
Speaker 1: this throughout NFL history. Just- I mean, you didn't get
15:22
Speaker 1: to watch Jerry Rice. I did not. Jerry Rice, I mean,
15:25
Speaker 1: you would sit there and you would yell at your
15:28
Speaker 1: television because hardly anybody rooted for the 49ers once they
15:32
Speaker 1: were a powerhouse. It's like the Chiefs nowadays, yeah. And
15:34
Speaker 1: you were like, why are you not covering Jerry Rice? Like,
15:38
Speaker 1: you would yell at him because he was always open
15:41
Speaker 1: and you couldn't understand it because he dominated every single year.
15:46
Speaker 1: And you just thought to yourself, man, these defensive coaches
15:49
Speaker 1: are stupid. They're letting Jerry Rice, number 80, like they've
15:53
Speaker 1: never even heard of him, run wide open. And you
15:56
Speaker 1: didn't even dawn on me as a 15-, 16-year-old watching
16:00
Speaker 1: this guy play that it doesn't matter. No, the defenses
16:06
Speaker 1: are 1,000% trying to stop Jerry Rice or at least
16:10
Speaker 1: contain him. And it doesn't matter. They can't. His route
16:13
Speaker 1: running is too good. He's too smart. His hands are
16:16
Speaker 1: too sure. He's too slippery. He is unstoppable. We have
16:21
Speaker 1: one of those guys. And again, I'm not saying he's
16:24
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. That's going to be... He had a lot
16:26
Speaker 1: of work to do to get to Jerry Rice status.
16:29
Speaker 1: But we have one of those guys. And he wears
16:32
Speaker 1: number 11. And no one outside of Seattle can pronounce
16:35
Speaker 1: his name the right way. But Jackson Smith in Jigba
16:39
Speaker 1: is as great as it gets. And he's proven it
16:44
Speaker 1: one more time. Three touchdowns yesterday. 155 yards when you
16:47
Speaker 1: know the Cardinals defense was keying on him. Yeah, he.
16:51
Speaker 3: out gained the entire Cardinals offense. Isn't that insane? So
16:55
Speaker 3: this kind of highlights both of these things, right? The
16:58
Speaker 3: Cardinals gained 151 yards total as a team and Jackson
17:02
Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba out gained them as a player last
17:05
Speaker 3: year or yesterday. Yeah, that's, I mean, both insane props
17:10
Speaker 3: to the defense and the adjustments made. Also, a little
17:13
Speaker 3: quick note, the fact that they barely got the ball
17:16
Speaker 3: in the second half, the amount of time of possession,
17:21
Speaker 3: just keeping them off the field, fantastic when you have
17:24
Speaker 3: a lead. But JSN, man, I do think he's the
17:29
Speaker 3: best receiver in the league. Everyone talks about Justin Jefferson
17:32
Speaker 3: and Jamar Chase and others. Puka Nakua is up there
17:36
Speaker 3: as well. but the fact that he's doing this with
17:38
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback, and we'll get into Drew Locke, I'm sure,
17:43
Speaker 3: and how well he played, but it's easy when, not easy,
17:47
Speaker 3: but it helps you a lot when you have number
17:49
Speaker 3: 11 just to always look for and always be open.
17:52
Speaker 1: Drew Locke was terrific again, had 139 quarterback rating yesterday.
17:58
Speaker 1: It was 113 coming off the bench in week one,
18:00
Speaker 1: so Drew Locke's going to get his flowers over the
18:02
Speaker 1: course of the four hours of our show and through
18:05
Speaker 1: our entire broadcasting day. There's no question about it. But
18:09
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I have seen enough. I have seen enough. Like,
18:13
Speaker 1: through Sam, there's a reason that Sam was like, no,
18:16
Speaker 1: I don't care if I get others involved. Why should I? Like,
18:21
Speaker 1: he's open all the time, and he catches every pass
18:23
Speaker 1: I throw to him, and he turns it into something.
18:26
Speaker 1: And I think he passed that along to... Drew, they
18:30
Speaker 1: had a private conversation. Any tips that you would give me, Sam,
18:34
Speaker 1: taking over here until you're healthy again? Yeah, just throw
18:37
Speaker 1: to 11. Every single time if you can. And he'll
18:41
Speaker 1: make you look really good. And I'm not saying that
18:44
Speaker 1: Drew didn't play it all around because he did. He
18:45
Speaker 1: was terrific again yesterday. But we have true greatness at
18:50
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and we have true greatness at head coach. And, yeah,
18:53
Speaker 1: there are other great aspects of this great football team
18:57
Speaker 1: that reached greatness by winning the Super Bowl a year ago.
19:00
Speaker 1: But those two guys, oh, man. And they're not even
19:05
Speaker 1: in the middle of their prime. No. They're just getting started.
19:09
Speaker 2: Yes.
19:11
Speaker 1: Both of them. Which is thrilling. Yes. All right. Let's
19:14
Speaker 1: find out what's on tap for the rest of the show.

19:33
Speaker 1: Seahawks 31, Cardinals 7, Monday morning quarterback today. Hugh Millen
19:38
Speaker 1: will be with us from 8 to 9.40 today to
19:40
Speaker 1: break it all down for you. The 2-0 Seahawks will
19:44
Speaker 1: get ready for the Washington Commanders in week number three.
19:47
Speaker 1: So looking good to start 3-0. Greg Bell's going to
19:50
Speaker 1: join us at 7.05. He'll update us on all Seahawks
19:53
Speaker 1: injuries from yesterday, but the big injury already we know
19:58
Speaker 1: going into this week will be Jaden Daniels. He once
20:02
Speaker 1: again dislocated his elbow. We saw that up close and
20:05
Speaker 1: personal a year ago. The exact same elbow and the
20:10
Speaker 1: exact same looking grotesque injury as well. So obviously there
20:16
Speaker 1: is some stability issues with that thing, and my guess
20:20
Speaker 1: is that he'll miss even more time this year because
20:23
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're just going to let it
20:25
Speaker 1: heal on his own. I would imagine some surgery is
20:28
Speaker 1: going to take place. He missed, I think, seven weeks
20:32
Speaker 1: with that injury a year ago. I think that's what
20:34
Speaker 1: I read. And so there's talk that he might miss
20:39
Speaker 1: even more time with that injury this year. Speaking of injuries,
20:42
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, the two of those drafted in the same
20:45
Speaker 1: draft class, also injured yesterday as Chicago. went from scoring
20:49
Speaker 1: 59 points in week number one to three yesterday, and
20:53
Speaker 1: went from thinking Caleb Williams might be an MVP to
20:57
Speaker 1: when's he going to play again after he injured his hamstring,
21:00
Speaker 1: which actually was good news for Ben Johnson and the
21:03
Speaker 1: Bears because it looked, I thought he'd blown out his
21:07
Speaker 1: entire knee. That's what I thought I was witnessing on
21:10
Speaker 1: the football field yesterday, but it turns out that it's
21:13
Speaker 1: just a hamstring, but obviously a very severe hamstring, so
21:17
Speaker 1: he's going to miss some time just not the entire
21:19
Speaker 1: season like I'm sure all Bears fans feared as he
21:22
Speaker 1: was being carted off the field yesterday. We'll get you
21:25
Speaker 1: all the scores with a round of wins and tough ones.
21:28
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on this hour. Monday
21:31
Speaker 1: Night Football tonight, Giants versus Rams right here on Sports
21:34
Speaker 1: Radio 93.3 KJR-FM. Go Giants. Aaron Donald is expected to
21:39
Speaker 1: play in this game. College football, there is a God.
21:43
Speaker 1: Ole Miss won over LSU 32-24, one of the most
21:48
Speaker 1: satisfying football games of my entire life. The Ole Miss
21:52
Speaker 1: Rebels moved to No. 4 in the latest college football poll.
21:55
Speaker 1: LSU didn't fall far to No. 10. Meanwhile, UW is
22:00
Speaker 1: now ranked No. 23 in the coaches poll. They never
22:02
Speaker 1: did fall out of the coaches poll. They won over
22:05
Speaker 1: the weekend 48-16 over Eastern Washington. Nothing really to brag
22:09
Speaker 1: about in local bars, but at least they showed some offense. Yep.
22:13
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and they now get ready for their Big
22:16
Speaker 1: Ten opener for the season against Minnesota at home this Saturday.
22:20
Speaker 1: Sounders just, I mean, they went from losing every match
22:24
Speaker 1: to now tying every match. They somehow did it again,
22:27
Speaker 1: even though there were six goals scored on Saturday. Colorado
22:30
Speaker 1: Rapids and the Sounders 3-3 draw. The Sounders will play
22:35
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, so you don't have to wait long for
22:38
Speaker 1: the Sounders to get another chance to get a point.
22:43
Speaker 1: The Kraken are off to a 2-0 start in the preseason.
22:46
Speaker 1: They've won each of their first two games by a
22:48
Speaker 1: score of 4-2 over Calgary on Sunday and then, of course,
22:54
Speaker 1: Vancouver on Saturday. They'll take a little time off. They
22:58
Speaker 1: will have their home opener coming up uh, Thursday. And so, um,
23:02
Speaker 1: the Kraken, uh, I don't know if you can read
23:04
Speaker 1: much into preseason, but I'd rather win than lose.
23:07
Speaker 2: Yep.
23:07
Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah. And finally Mariners lost a two, one
23:10
Speaker 1: was the final score. Um, or excuse me, they won, sorry. Uh,
23:14
Speaker 1: they won two to one, uh, the final score over Colorado. Um,
23:19
Speaker 1: and so we will do a shorter Mariners morning after,
23:23
Speaker 1: but I am going to satisfy that for you. Probably
23:25
Speaker 1: the only time we'll talk baseball today. That's coming up next.
23:28
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
23:33
Speaker 2: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Chuck
23:37
Speaker 2: in the Morning.
23:37
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Frost Brewed Coors Light. Cold as
23:41
Speaker 1: the Rockies. On Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
24:11
Speaker 2: There it is.
24:12
Speaker 1: Travis Moger. Nice. Revealing a little bit about himself. It's
24:18
Speaker 1: a great choice. Yeah. Just a little. A little bit.
24:20
Speaker 1: A little bit. A little bit of a. I don't disagree. Yeah.
24:24
Speaker 1: Great to have you with us here this morning. Chuck Palander,
24:26
Speaker 1: Travis Moger with you. We will get to your wins
24:30
Speaker 1: and tough ones, the new name to our NFL scoreboard
24:34
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on this hour. But
24:37
Speaker 1: we are going to start with Mariners morning after. I
24:40
Speaker 1: will say this about wins and tough ones. It is amazing,
24:43
Speaker 1: the National Football League, how they can produce as many
24:47
Speaker 1: one-on-one records as they can after two weeks.
24:49
Speaker 2: Amazing.
24:50
Speaker 1: It's amazing. So we'll get to that here in a
24:53
Speaker 1: little bit. But Mariners playing out the string. They are
24:58
Speaker 1: still alive. There was a chance they could have been
25:00
Speaker 1: officially eliminated by the time we cracked the mics here
25:03
Speaker 1: this morning. But they do win two out of three
25:06
Speaker 1: against the Colorado Rockies over the weekend. And in doing so,
25:11
Speaker 1: kept their extraordinarily slim playoff hopes alive. They have six
25:16
Speaker 1: games to play. Is that right? I believe so. Hold
25:19
Speaker 1: on a second. Yeah, six games to play, and they
25:22
Speaker 1: are five games out. And, well, I'll get to that
25:27
Speaker 1: in a moment. Let's get to the game itself. I
25:29
Speaker 1: didn't watch a single pitch of it. It was football season.
25:33
Speaker 1: But Kate Anderson probably should have watched it because I
25:37
Speaker 1: love watching this guy pitch, and he pitched his best
25:40
Speaker 1: game of his major league career yesterday in Mile High, Colorado. Oh,
25:46
Speaker 1: and he takes care of him in the blink of
25:48
Speaker 1: an eye. Puts Goodman into the ground. Seven strikeouts. Kate
25:52
Speaker 1: Anderson putting together a career day here in Colorado. Aaron
25:56
Speaker 1: Goldsmith on the call. Mariners TV. Seven innings pitch. Just
26:00
Speaker 1: three hits allowed. No walks. Seven strikeouts over seven shutout
26:05
Speaker 1: innings for Cade. He only went 84 pitches. There's a
26:07
Speaker 1: great video of Logan Gilbert saying, what are you doing
26:09
Speaker 1: putting your hoodie on? Get back out there. Your time
26:12
Speaker 1: to shine. But he was fantastic yesterday, and then the
26:16
Speaker 1: team didn't need much offense thanks to Anderson. Dom Canzone
26:22
Speaker 1: provided it two for four with two runs batted in.
26:25
Speaker 1: So Mariners do get a win yesterday in Colorado. Yeah, huge.
26:28
Speaker 3: I think he was the third pitcher to go seven
26:31
Speaker 3: scoreless all year at Coors Field and the first lefty
26:35
Speaker 3: to do it, which is pretty cool for him. In
26:39
Speaker 3: that obvious hitter's paradise, I think it's kind of a
26:43
Speaker 3: step up for him to kind of get that really
26:46
Speaker 3: good start under his belt. Probably the best, definitely the
26:49
Speaker 3: best in his young career so far.
26:51
Speaker 1: The real story here is that road trip has come
26:56
Speaker 1: to a close. The road trip against literally the three
27:00
Speaker 1: worst teams in Major League Baseball. And despite how depressing
27:04
Speaker 1: and frustrating and embarrassing this season has been for the
27:08
Speaker 1: 2026 Mariners, at the beginning of that road trip, I
27:12
Speaker 1: told you, told Travis, told the listening audience, hey, I'm
27:16
Speaker 1: not holding out much hope here, if any at all.
27:20
Speaker 2: But.
27:21
Speaker 1: The way that the schedule sets up, that if you
27:24
Speaker 1: could go on a run against teams that you should
27:27
Speaker 1: be able to go on a run against, the Houston
27:30
Speaker 1: Astros are just not that good. The Texas Rangers just
27:33
Speaker 1: aren't that good. That's proven to be true. And the Astros,
27:36
Speaker 1: over their same nine stretch of games where we were
27:40
Speaker 1: facing the three worst teams in Major League Baseball, they
27:43
Speaker 1: were facing the Atlanta Braves, a Kansas City team that
27:48
Speaker 1: has played Well over 500 in the second half. And
27:52
Speaker 1: then Tampa Bay. Those were the nine games that they
27:55
Speaker 1: had to play. The Astros cooperated. They went 2-7. My
28:00
Speaker 1: thought was, if they go 4-5, and the Mariners can
28:05
Speaker 1: go 8-1, and I know that's higher than they've been
28:09
Speaker 1: playing at, but considering the competition, considering that you were
28:14
Speaker 1: the only team that had anything to play for for
28:16
Speaker 1: the last nine days... I mean, to me, the formula was,
28:20
Speaker 1: let the Astros go 4-5, you go 8-1, you will
28:24
Speaker 1: enter this two-game series against the Astros, which starts on Tuesday,
28:28
Speaker 1: two games out, and now you suddenly can control your
28:32
Speaker 1: own destiny, potentially. And instead... They went 2-7. Not only
28:39
Speaker 1: did they leave the door open, they took the door
28:42
Speaker 1: off the hinges so that the Mariners could walk through
28:45
Speaker 1: if they could just do their part. And instead, against
28:48
Speaker 1: the three worst teams in baseball, they went 4-5. Yeah,
28:54
Speaker 1: it's inexcusable.
28:55
Speaker 3: They almost lost, if they weren't to win yesterday, they
28:57
Speaker 3: almost lost all three series to the three worst teams
29:01
Speaker 3: in baseball consecutively. Which, I mean, this is why, not
29:08
Speaker 3: this is why, but this is kind of showcasing why
29:11
Speaker 3: this year has been so frustrating for Mariners fans, just
29:14
Speaker 3: because there was this huge opportunity, and it was blown.
29:19
Speaker 1: There were, I won't say millions, because that's exaggerating. I
29:23
Speaker 1: want to actually use a legitimate number. There were 40 opportunities,
29:28
Speaker 1: 50 opportunities, right at their fingertips to you. to use momentum,
29:33
Speaker 1: turn their season around, and really emerge despite having played
29:40
Speaker 1: frustrating baseball this year. The rest of the division cooperated
29:44
Speaker 1: all year long. You had so many opportunities to just...
29:50
Speaker 1: Play like you're capable of. And they just never did.
29:53
Speaker 1: They never took advantage of the schedule. They never took
29:56
Speaker 1: advantage of momentum. They never took advantage of hot hitting
30:00
Speaker 1: because they didn't have much of it. But even when
30:02
Speaker 1: they did, the pitching faltered. Never took advantage of hot pitching,
30:06
Speaker 1: which they didn't get as much of it as in
30:07
Speaker 1: the past, but they got enough. They just failed at
30:12
Speaker 1: every opportunity they were given.
30:14
Speaker 3: They kept finding ways to lose games in inexplicable fashion.
30:19
Speaker 3: And lately it's just been okay.
30:21
Speaker 1: I mean....
30:23
Speaker 3: If you really are that team that believes in what
30:27
Speaker 3: you have, you go into this last stretch that you
30:31
Speaker 3: were mentioning, the last nine games, and you're like, hey,
30:34
Speaker 3: you think of things the same way you were just
30:37
Speaker 3: talking about it. The Astros are really having a tough
30:40
Speaker 3: schedule here. We can rattle off... 10 good games and
30:43
Speaker 3: we are in great shape and we can get back
30:46
Speaker 3: in this thing but they just never showed like they
30:49
Speaker 3: had that in them and that's that's the worst part
30:51
Speaker 3: it's like yeah it's one thing for fans to think
30:53
Speaker 3: that but for the players to show that and the
30:56
Speaker 3: team itself just to be like yeah season's over let's
30:59
Speaker 3: go you know.
31:00
Speaker 1: You really like an even 162 games that's a lot
31:03
Speaker 1: of baseball yeah i don't know how many it feels
31:07
Speaker 1: to me i don't have the numbers on this Feels
31:11
Speaker 1: to me that you have like five truly crushing losses.
31:15
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to lose 70 games probably in
31:19
Speaker 1: most Major League Baseball seasons, right? Minimum. Feels like five
31:23
Speaker 1: of them are crushing. It feels like this team had 35.
31:26
Speaker 1: It's true. This year. Just never, ever seized any sort
31:33
Speaker 1: of momentum at all. that would put them in better
31:36
Speaker 1: position here on the last week of the regular season.
31:39
Speaker 1: And so we do. We get ready to start the
31:41
Speaker 1: last week of the regular season. It begins tonight. Very
31:43
Speaker 1: little activity in Major League Baseball. The Mariners will play
31:46
Speaker 1: the Astros for two games for whatever it's worth on
31:49
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday. They are five out with six to go.
31:54
Speaker 1: Really sad. Just a really sad baseball season, and we're
31:57
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of conversations, Anders and I,
32:00
Speaker 1: over the course of the next three months on exactly
32:03
Speaker 1: what to think of this organization. All right, coming up next,
32:08
Speaker 1: it's our NFL scoreboard. Of course, we'll never call it
32:11
Speaker 1: the NFL scoreboard. Only boring people do that. So we
32:14
Speaker 1: allow you to name the scoreboard every single year, and
32:17
Speaker 1: I think a really brilliant idea. suggestion was made last week.
32:22
Speaker 1: Wins and tough ones come your way next on Sports
32:24
Speaker 1: Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Greg Bell will join us at
32:40
Speaker 1: 7.05 with the latest, greatest information from your Seattle Seahawks
32:44
Speaker 1: 2-0 on the season following their very impressive second half
32:48
Speaker 1: performance against the Arizona Cardinals where they ran away from
32:51
Speaker 1: the Cardinals 31-7, the final score. But we've got Monday
32:55
Speaker 1: morning quarterback at 8 o'clock with Hugh Millen and Greg
32:57
Speaker 1: Bell's inside information at 7.05. This is our one opportunity
33:02
Speaker 1: to run through all of the scores in the National
33:04
Speaker 1: Football League in a segment we like to call Wins
33:06
Speaker 1: and Tough Ones. Wait, who is that? Tough ones. What
33:10
Speaker 1: does that remind me of?
33:11
Speaker 2: I don't know.
33:12
Speaker 1: Do you think Dan likes this segment? I don't know.
33:15
Speaker 1: I don't think Dan's listened to Sports Talk Radio for
33:18
Speaker 1: a while. Carolina won over Atlanta 34-3 yesterday. Michael Penix Jr.
33:26
Speaker 1: did not play once again, but man, they cannot wait
33:29
Speaker 1: to get him back. The Falcons look about as bad
33:32
Speaker 1: as any team in the National Football League right now.
33:35
Speaker 1: If there are a couple that look worse, the Miami
33:37
Speaker 1: Dolphins were crushed by the San Francisco 49ers. Just felt
33:41
Speaker 1: like a mismatch. Felt like Washington versus Eastern Washington. 49ers,
33:45
Speaker 1: 35-13 winners over the Miami Dolphins. And then surprisingly, another
33:51
Speaker 1: team that you might want to put into that category
33:53
Speaker 1: of they look like the worst team in football, the
33:56
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers, who were crushed again by another team,
34:01
Speaker 1: I think by the exact same score, that was not
34:04
Speaker 1: expected to win many games this year. The Raiders, behind
34:08
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak, are 2-0. And the Chargers can't get out
34:11
Speaker 1: of their own way with Mike McDaniels as their offensive coordinator.
34:15
Speaker 1: 26-14 Raiders.
34:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just that team. We talked about it last
34:19
Speaker 3: week with the Cardinals. When are people going to stop
34:22
Speaker 3: taking them seriously? Probably now at this point. Because the stats,
34:25
Speaker 3: when you go 0-2, not good.
34:27
Speaker 1: Oh, they look awful. And I have a feeling Jim
34:29
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and Mike McDaniels are going to have a hard
34:32
Speaker 1: time getting along anyway. It's going to be even harder
34:35
Speaker 1: when you're not producing on that side of the ball.
34:38
Speaker 1: Speaking of that side of the ball... We had a
34:40
Speaker 1: couple of major injuries to quarterbacks who, let's face it,
34:43
Speaker 1: were not playing all that well yesterday, but you didn't
34:46
Speaker 1: want to see them go down. The Chicago Bears went
34:49
Speaker 1: from scoring 59 points in the opening week to three
34:52
Speaker 1: against the Vikings yesterday. And it's not because Caleb Williams
34:56
Speaker 1: left with an injury because he didn't leave until late
34:59
Speaker 1: in that game. Brian Flores is going to be a
35:03
Speaker 1: head coach next year. He looks fantastic. The Vikings defense
35:07
Speaker 1: looks fantastic. They're 2-0 on the season. Meanwhile, Williams does
35:11
Speaker 1: suffer a hamstring injury. Looked like a knee to me. Yes,
35:15
Speaker 1: it did. But it is a hamstring injury. He's going
35:18
Speaker 1: to be out for a while, but not nearly as
35:21
Speaker 1: long as what Ben Johnson feared at the moment.
35:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it looked like he thought when it happened,
35:26
Speaker 3: he was screaming on the ground. It definitely looked a
35:28
Speaker 3: lot worse in his own head than it probably will
35:32
Speaker 3: end up being.
35:33
Speaker 1: Jayden daniel's going to be out for a while he
35:36
Speaker 1: suffered a gruesome injury yesterday just trying to like kind
35:39
Speaker 1: of catch himself on the turf that left elbow that
35:42
Speaker 1: we watched buckle against the seahawks a year ago it
35:47
Speaker 1: did it again this time he wasn't even hit yeah
35:50
Speaker 1: um but he's going to miss significant time and after
35:53
Speaker 1: it happened twice in the span of what 10 months
35:57
Speaker 1: yeah uh the commanders he's probably going to have surgery
36:01
Speaker 1: he's going to be out for quite some time The
36:03
Speaker 1: Commanders fell to 0-2. They lost to Dallas 37-20. Big
36:07
Speaker 1: day for the hookup of Dak Prescott to C.D. Lamb.
36:11
Speaker 1: Cincinnati won over Houston by a final score of 20-6.
36:15
Speaker 1: JSN may have established himself as the better wide receiver
36:19
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, but that Jamar Chase is
36:22
Speaker 1: pretty damn good, and he may have had the catch
36:24
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah. spectacular spinning catch somehow got both
36:28
Speaker 1: feet in and got past the pylon into the end
36:32
Speaker 1: zone incredible catch for chase yeah that probably was the
36:35
Speaker 1: play of the day yesterday and the bangles of all
36:37
Speaker 1: the 2-0 teams i think they're kind of the most
36:40
Speaker 1: uh kind of sneaky team their defense looks legit for
36:43
Speaker 1: it's weird to say that considering how bad they've been
36:45
Speaker 1: the last couple years and you know that offense is
36:47
Speaker 1: going to score points so they look pretty good New
36:48
Speaker 1: Orleans won over Baltimore. Might have been the upset of
36:51
Speaker 1: the week, but I'm not sure the Baltimore's as good
36:54
Speaker 1: as what people have been letting on, and I think
36:56
Speaker 1: New Orleans could be a sneaky good team this year.
36:59
Speaker 1: So 24-17 was the final score there, Saints over Ravens.
37:04
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are in the win column under Todd Munkin.
37:09
Speaker 1: There was a storm at the end of the game
37:11
Speaker 1: that delayed the final few minutes by a couple of hours.
37:16
Speaker 1: but Tampa Bay came out of the locker room and
37:18
Speaker 1: could not get the necessary touchdown to overcome the four-point deficit.
37:23
Speaker 1: Browns win 23-19 over the 0-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and
37:28
Speaker 1: although nobody wants to give this guy praise, got to
37:31
Speaker 1: give a little credit to Deshaun Watson, who looked... Pretty
37:34
Speaker 1: good yesterday. Yes, he did. Yes, he did.
37:36
Speaker 3: And the revenge game for Baker Mayfield was not exactly
37:40
Speaker 3: what he had planned.
37:41
Speaker 1: They are 0-2 now, so yikes. And UW wide receiver
37:44
Speaker 1: Denzel Boston looks like the real deal, people. Five catches,
37:48
Speaker 1: 95 yards, and a touchdown. He was the star of
37:51
Speaker 1: the game yesterday. Green Bay came from behind 17-7 against
37:56
Speaker 1: the lowly New York Jets. The Packers were staring at 0-2.
38:00
Speaker 1: They couldn't move the ball at all. all against that
38:03
Speaker 1: Jets defense, but then all of a sudden, midway through
38:06
Speaker 1: the third quarter, Jordan Love and company started to get going.
38:09
Speaker 1: They end up forcing overtime, and then they win it
38:12
Speaker 1: in overtime, 20-17. Both those teams are 1-1 on the season.
38:17
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers also 1-1 on the year. They faced
38:21
Speaker 1: a dominant defense in New England. Aaron Rodgers, 4.8 yards
38:24
Speaker 1: per pass. If you're going to never take a chance
38:29
Speaker 1: down the field, then you can't get sacked. He got
38:32
Speaker 1: sacked four times. If you're going to get sacked four times,
38:34
Speaker 1: you can't fumble. He fumbled twice. If you're going to
38:37
Speaker 1: fumble twice, you better not throw an interception. He threw
38:40
Speaker 1: an interception. Patriots won 20-3 over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and
38:45
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles needed a late, impressive, by the way,
38:49
Speaker 1: touchdown drive from Jalen Hurts. to defeat the Tennessee Titans 24-20.
38:54
Speaker 1: The Titans looked much better. They did. But they have
38:56
Speaker 1: started 0-2 on the year. Two more. We've got the
38:59
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. I said it all last week. I don't
39:03
Speaker 1: know how long it takes a team to get cranked
39:05
Speaker 1: up when they don't tackle in the preseason, but sometimes
39:09
Speaker 1: it's two quarters, sometimes it's three, sometimes it's six. For
39:12
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, it was six. All of a sudden
39:15
Speaker 1: in the second half, after it looked like they were
39:17
Speaker 1: going to get trucked by the Jaguars after getting trucked
39:20
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs last week, Um, all of a sudden
39:22
Speaker 1: their defense was impenetrable. Their coverage was insane on Jacksonville
39:28
Speaker 1: receivers and Bo Nix started making plays. So they end
39:31
Speaker 1: up coming back, winning it 20-13, highlighting the fact that
39:35
Speaker 1: I can't predict football right now. 20-13 is the final score.
39:39
Speaker 1: The Broncos and Jags both 1-1. And then last night,
39:42
Speaker 1: Kansas City in overtime. 33-30 winners over the Indianapolis Colts.
39:48
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey look like they are back
39:51
Speaker 1: in their prime all of a sudden. And I have
39:53
Speaker 1: a feeling, Anders, it has everything to do with Ken
39:56
Speaker 1: Walker and what he's bringing to the table.
39:57
Speaker 3: He opens up the entire playbook. And I think this
40:00
Speaker 3: is kind of another highlight of an example of... And
40:03
Speaker 3: you can see it on the other side with Jonathan
40:04
Speaker 3: Taylor as well, but how important a really good running
40:07
Speaker 3: back is to these offenses.
40:09
Speaker 1: The week concludes tonight with a really good one. The
40:11
Speaker 1: New York Giants, who were very impressive in week number one,
40:14
Speaker 1: will be in Los Angeles taking on the Rams. Aaron
40:17
Speaker 1: Donald is expected to play. Puka Nakua is expected not
40:21
Speaker 1: to play tonight. Adam Schefter just reported this morning that
40:24
Speaker 1: he is doubtful to play in this game, which will
40:27
Speaker 1: start at 5.15 right here on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
40:33
Speaker 1: All right. There is your wins and tough ones. A
40:36
Speaker 1: lot of wins out there over the weekend. And a
40:38
Speaker 1: lot of tough ones, as it turns out. Same amount, actually.
40:41
Speaker 1: Was it? Yeah, I think so. Did you do the
40:43
Speaker 1: numbers on that? I want to double check, but I
40:45
Speaker 1: could confirm it by the end of the show. All right.
40:46
Speaker 1: We'll update that with headlines next. Plus, Greg Bell, Sports
