Rams/Seahawks tonight, Bears/Packers Saturday, Beau Pribula to Iowa? Lee Sterling's Weekly Picks & the Chicken Coop Contest · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:07
  Right. Good afternoon.
• 0:08
  Welcome, Miller and Condon. Our Thursday begins.
• 0:13
  Little Chicago. Chicago going to come up in the
• 0:18
  first segment. The Bears, what are we doing?
• 0:19
  What's Kevin Moore doing anyways?
• 0:22
  We'll get into that. Are they going to leave the
• 0:24
  state? I don't believe so, but hard to
• 0:27
  believe that two days before the biggest game, certainly in a
• 0:30
  long time, that this story comes out.
• 0:31
  Anyways, we'll get into that coming up here.
• 0:34
  We're lots to get to today. The bottom of the hour, we'll
• 0:36
  hear from leesterlingparamountsports.com
• 0:39
  with a handful of games to opine on.
• 0:41
  Look forward to hearing from Lee.
• 0:42
  This will be his last appearance with us until the Thursday
• 0:45
  before the Super Bowl. We'll give four of you an
• 0:48
  opportunity to win some wings or some grub at the chicken coop.
• 0:52
  Three locations in central Iowa. Ankeny on or labor just
• 0:56
  southwest of the dmac campus 12725 Meredith in Urbandale and
• 1:01
  the original location 60th and Ashworth in West Des Moines.
• 1:05
  Our number 2 Dave sinican covers the Green Bay Packers own
• 1:08
  coverage.com Packer preview in the on KFAN up in the Twin
• 1:13
  Cities year 30 of doing that heard from the Packers from the
• 1:16
  Bears perspective yesterday. Get the Packers and how Dave
• 1:18
  sees this game, and then Derek Stevens, the owner of Circa of
• 1:23
  the D and of Golden Gate, going to join us as we'll talk a
• 1:27
  number of topics with Derek, including your opportunity to
• 1:30
  get in Derek's wallet. I'm already in, by the way.
• 1:32
  No guess I crossed $100 threshold last night betting
• 1:36
  those college football exactas that you alerted me to.
• 1:39
  And so I'm over that. And I will get a share of
• 1:41
  Derek's wallet. Look forward to dipping into it.
• 1:44
  Yeah. I got that e-mail over the
• 1:45
  weekend that I'd already hit the first threshold and we're
• 1:47
  working towards that second threshold now.
• 1:49
  I'm worried I didn't see the e-mail.
• 1:51
  Oh well, you're fine. OK, yes, you do not have to opt
• 1:56
  in. That's good because I didn't if
• 1:58
  if people missed it. What we're talking about now
• 2:00
  through the 22nd of December, Sunday, Sunday.
• 2:03
  So it'll be the second NFL weekend through Sunday, an
• 2:06
  opportunity. If you bet $100, and that
• 2:09
  doesn't have to be $100 bet, no, it could be $1010.00 bets, just
• 2:13
  a culmination of $100 in bets. You're going to win a share of
• 2:17
  this big enough to do it all at once.
• 2:19
  You know, bet some tonight, bet some tomorrow, whatever.
• 2:21
  But if you get out of that $100 threshold, you want to share.
• 2:24
  Here's what I like about it. You can earn another share if
• 2:27
  you get to 500, but that's it. It's not like some guy's going
• 2:30
  to come in and some whale. And we know we got a few of them
• 2:33
  in this state. Absolutely.
• 2:34
  And where do they wager that circus where they should take
• 2:36
  the elastic band off the bankroll, take all of the
• 2:38
  shares, leaving us poppers with a tiny little bit.
• 2:42
  That's not how it's going to go. So this contest, this, this
• 2:45
  promotion's not a contest. It's a promotion.
• 2:47
  It ends coming up on Sundays. But Derek Stevens is going to
• 2:51
  join us. Look forward to catching up with
• 2:52
  Derek. It's been a while since we've
• 2:53
  had him on the radio. Variety of topics.
• 2:56
  I know they're already looking ahead to 2026 with the big
• 2:59
  events. I want to ask about the World
• 3:01
  Cup. Oh, absolutely.
• 3:02
  Just how big it's going to be and, and what what does that
• 3:05
  mean? Do you think people will travel
• 3:07
  to Vegas to watch this? That's an interesting one.
• 3:10
  I mean, those early rounds and and the culmination of when it
• 3:15
  gets to the end, the US team's likely not going to be a part of
• 3:18
  it, but they got a very good group apparently.
• 3:20
  So, yeah, that they're going to be able to advance.
• 3:22
  But also remember, it's now 48 teams.
• 3:24
  There's a lot more teams that are involved and those.
• 3:26
  So there's no group of death. There's not like there was
• 3:29
  where. Yeah, that that was such a big
• 3:30
  deal. And who's going to advance out
• 3:32
  of the four teams, who are the TT two teams and almost every
• 3:36
  one of these groups are going to be able to make it forward to
• 3:39
  the knockout round. But when we get to that point
• 3:41
  and if we get a big match up and the way that that's going to be,
• 3:44
  I think it's going to be certainly interesting.
• 3:46
  And I mean, I remember 94 it was, I knew nothing about.
• 3:50
  So what happened in 94, what it was in in America, OK, when it
• 3:54
  was in the US and just what a big deal that was.
• 3:57
  And just having that I was in Denver, 94 and seeing these
• 4:00
  football stadiums and oh, they're playing soccer.
• 4:03
  This is a big deal. Yeah.
• 4:04
  And I think we're going to get that again, 'cause I remember
• 4:06
  the women's team in New Jersey, was that the final that they
• 4:10
  play at the Meadowlands? I'm going to say 2016.
• 4:13
  Cause the Brandy Chastain game, that was that was earlier, that
• 4:17
  was in the Rose Bowl, right? And that was 2000, 1000 dish.
• 4:21
  Yeah. Right in that range.
• 4:22
  Right in that range. Yeah.
• 4:23
  That was that was massive. That was massive as well.
• 4:26
  Anyways, Derek, coming up, we'll pick his brain on a variety of
• 4:29
  topics and look forward to doing so with the owner of Circus
• 4:32
  sports coming up here at the bottom of our number 2.
• 4:37
  So what did you watch last night?
• 4:38
  What did I watch? The Old Dominion.
• 4:40
  You had that When you're hot on the bowls, Absolutely do it.
• 4:43
  Oh, in the bowl games. We keep fired away at those here
• 4:46
  this week. I watched the was it Lafayette?
• 4:50
  Lafayette. And who were they even playing
• 4:51
  last night? I was watching Delaware.
• 4:53
  Delaware. Yes, Delaware.
• 4:55
  The First State gets a bull win. Yeah, the first state.
• 4:57
  Yeah. Good to see.
• 4:59
  Good to see the Blue Hens, the one of the originators of the
• 5:02
  win. Glaco's alma mater absolutely
• 5:04
  played you and I don't didn't he?
• 5:06
  He did, Yeah. Knocked off the undefeated.
• 5:08
  He did. Eric Sanders in the UNI
• 5:09
  Panthers. Who's quarterback.
• 5:11
  And then yes, Old Line's best knock them off in the, is that
• 5:15
  the quarterfinals? I want to say I think it's
• 5:17
  probably it was was well into the well into the playoff at
• 5:20
  that point, you know, but that was a team and a lot of people,
• 5:23
  you and I, people say that was their best chance was a national
• 5:25
  championship. But Joe Flacco had different
• 5:28
  ideas on that one. So I watched a little bit of
• 5:30
  that, watched you and I basketball during the afternoon.
• 5:33
  No, I didn't, but apparently Keno Davis worked the game.
• 5:36
  Oh, I didn't even notice. I I wasn't, he was the colored
• 5:38
  guy on the on the game last night.
• 5:40
  We had yesterday wrestling practice last night, so didn't
• 5:42
  have the volume with me. It was just watching and yeah,
• 5:45
  so didn't hear the broadcast, but was watching as they came
• 5:47
  back and got the cover, jumped out to a 14-1 lead, something
• 5:51
  like that. Then we're just atrocious for
• 5:53
  the rest of the first half. We're down and I came back to
• 5:56
  get that one. You know, you and I is getting a
• 5:58
  lot of buzz as maybe one of the better mid major programs.
• 6:01
  Really best team in the Valley, would you say?
• 6:03
  At this point? I think so, yeah.
• 6:04
  I think Ben Jacobson got a good squad and you know, Trey
• 6:08
  Campbell, he's been there forever now, you know, and I
• 6:12
  remember watching Trey when Cedar Falls won a couple of
• 6:14
  championships and I was like, I just don't know.
• 6:16
  I don't know how it's going to translate.
• 6:18
  Kind of had a funky shot and he is so just he's just rock solid,
• 6:21
  you know, just a solid, good player.
• 6:24
  Got him. Leo Bond obviously can do some
• 6:26
  things. They're not huge by any means,
• 6:27
  but this, you and I team going to be interesting.
• 6:29
  And the Valley's different and we've seen that the last couple
• 6:31
  of years. But would be it'd be good to see
• 6:34
  Ben Jacobson get back out there. It's been a long time since they
• 6:37
  made the tournament. Yeah, that absolutely has.
• 6:38
  He's had a heck of a run there, no doubt about that.
• 6:41
  Never forget those teams. What were they, 9:00 and 10:00
• 6:43
  or 8:00 and 9:00? Nine and 10, I want to say for
• 6:46
  Rukminesh and Ogle Cedar and eagle Cedar.
• 6:50
  Eagle Cedar and the cooks and and beaten kids right, Ali
• 6:56
  Farouk Manesh, could you a helling by?
• 6:58
  Oh, absolutely. Boy, they had some good players.
• 7:00
  Had some really good players on those scenes.
• 7:01
  Lucas O'rear, Lucas O'rear, the big fella, the pitcher with the
• 7:04
  mutton chops. That's right.
• 7:06
  Good stuff. And by the way, if you're a fan
• 7:08
  of the valley, we said this yesterday, but we will remind
• 7:10
  you we are going to talk Valley every single Tuesday and then
• 7:14
  off the bench on Friday with our buddy, former Larry Bird trophy
• 7:18
  winner. He's the Most Valuable Player in
• 7:20
  his senior year in the valley. Adam Eminecker will join at
• 7:23
  Trent and I on Tuesdays. Doko Pizza 2 locations, Ankeny
• 7:27
  and just a stone throw from the nap Center make that possible.
• 7:31
  All right, let's get into tonight's game.
• 7:33
  Trent, this is you know, this is a great game and this is I think
• 7:37
  is the is the five star, but boy, there's a whole bunch of
• 7:41
  four stars. I mean, if this is the if this
• 7:43
  is the best game of the weekend and I kind of think it is, but
• 7:48
  your bears and the Packers, that's a massive, massive spot.
• 7:51
  Jags and Broncos is big. That's a big spot.
• 7:55
  Bucks and the Panthers, obviously big Lion, Steelers,
• 7:59
  almost absolutely for both sides yes and then culminating on on
• 8:05
  Monday, Sunday night, Patriots, Ravens, Niners, Colts on Monday.
• 8:09
  This is a good weekend of the NFL, but this game tonight,
• 8:13
  apparently it's going to be played in in not the most ideal
• 8:16
  conditions, rain, rain and wind. Maybe so I don't know.
• 8:23
  I still to me and this isn't a Johnny come lately.
• 8:27
  I've been here for about 6 weeks now.
• 8:28
  I think these are the two best teams in the NFL.
• 8:31
  The Rams and and the Seahawks are the two best teams.
• 8:34
  I believe that the power resides in the NFC this year.
• 8:38
  Not that the Bills or the Broncos or the Patriots or the
• 8:41
  Texans couldn't win this thing, but if I had to select right
• 8:45
  now, I would say that the team with the more power in the NFC,
• 8:49
  we'll see. It's a huge spot tonight.
• 8:51
  The the winner of this game is the one.
• 8:53
  The loser is the 5. The ramifications.
• 8:56
  The belief that I have in the Rams is just so significantly
• 8:59
  more because of the quarterback, because of the quarterback and
• 9:02
  because you. It's not unfair.
• 9:04
  It's not unfair. Donald got 11 picks this year,
• 9:07
  22 touchdowns, 11:37 and 5:00. They touched down to
• 9:10
  interception ratio for Stafford this season in 4 picks against
• 9:14
  the Rams when they played a month ago.
• 9:15
  And yet the Seahawks got the ball with the chance to win.
• 9:19
  They did. They got the ball back with the
• 9:20
  2119 finals. Something like that.
• 9:24
  They were that close. As awful as Darnell played, they
• 9:27
  were. You're right.
• 9:27
  They had the ball to end the football game.
• 9:30
  They could have cooked and and got it done.
• 9:32
  Was it a missed field goal at the end?
• 9:34
  I don't think so. Maybe not.
• 9:36
  Yeah, memory is starting to fade a little bit.
• 9:39
  Was ahead. Was a close game.
• 9:40
  Doesn't get better, does it? No trench.
• 9:43
  And don't get sucked in by the prejudice.
• 9:45
  Oh yeah, I just I know I sound like a broken a couple years
• 9:49
  ago. I remember that really bothered
• 9:51
  you. It did.
• 9:51
  I mean, it might work. If it works for you, great.
• 9:54
  But there's been no studies. It's just a sugar pill.
• 9:56
  It's just the exactly. But boy, they're making some
• 9:58
  bank. They're making huge money.
• 10:02
  If it works, I'll be the first one to line, but prove it then
• 10:06
  I'll buy some right. No, but to to your point, the
• 10:09
  memory doesn't get any better. So let's go to Kevin Warren and
• 10:11
  what came out yesterday. So apparently the reason that
• 10:15
  this letter came out very quickly was because the Chicago
• 10:19
  Tribune was about to publish this very story that they're
• 10:24
  looking at. Where is it?
• 10:25
  Northwestern Indiana. How far from Chicago?
• 10:29
  How far? Less than an hour.
• 10:30
  Less than an hour, but still. Yeah.
• 10:32
  From Soldier Field to this site would be an hour, probably.
• 10:35
  Oh, God, nobody wants that. Of course not.
• 10:38
  Now, hats off to the governor of Indiana.
• 10:40
  Don't know who he is. Don't know.
• 10:41
  His political persuasion came out and already said it's done
• 10:45
  deal, it's tax free. We'd love to have you come on
• 10:47
  down. Of course, got artist
• 10:48
  rendering's already done. So the pressure's on.
• 10:51
  So I think that what this is, this is obviously a all right,
• 10:56
  give us what we want, We're going to go.
• 10:58
  Even though they're not going to go, they're not going anywhere.
• 11:02
  Kevin Warren has continued to fall his way forward.
• 11:03
  Oh, my God, it's unbelievable, isn't it?
• 11:05
  Throughout his career. Oh, Jesus, he gets this job.
• 11:08
  So he started at the Vikings, right?
• 11:09
  He was the president of the Vikings.
• 11:11
  The first time I heard of him, he was, yes, he was a person.
• 11:14
  And basically his big thing was to put together both their
• 11:17
  performance center and U.S. bank Stadium.
• 11:19
  Oh, he's behind that, behind it. But people inside of Minnesota
• 11:23
  say probably not as deep of a knowledge base and making all
• 11:29
  those things happen. Yes, he would lead you to
• 11:31
  believe then. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:35
  I was taking a drink. He got me at the bad time there.
• 11:37
  He takes over in the Big 10 and what a spot after what, Jim
• 11:42
  Delaney belt. Oh my God.
• 11:43
  Impossible to fill those shit. Absolutely fair.
• 11:46
  And to at least slow down a little bit on running over him
• 11:50
  with the train, 2020 was awful. Yeah, it was.
• 11:53
  Yeah. I mean, there, there was nothing
• 11:55
  that he was the face of the. Yes, I mean, but he's he works
• 11:58
  for the presidents of the Big 10.
• 11:59
  Absolutely. Let's make that clear.
• 12:01
  As his sons playing college football at Mississippi State,
• 12:03
  he's saying no, you guys can't play.
• 12:05
  Yeah, not a great look. No, not a great look.
• 12:08
  But there is no playbook. There is no idea what to do when
• 12:11
  you're talking about a global crisis as we're doing at the
• 12:14
  time. That aside, then he gets this
• 12:16
  job and he's had one job. This is not a guy that is part
• 12:20
  of football OPS. Nope, it's not a guy that has
• 12:22
  to. He has when he got this job,
• 12:24
  based on what his resume said he was responsible for in the Twin
• 12:27
  Cities, in part, that was a huge part of it.
• 12:30
  I I think that is the reason that he got this job and he has
• 12:34
  continued making gotta be millions.
• 12:36
  Oh absolutely yeah 510 iron bone.
• 12:39
  I don't even know what the going rate is for a guy like that.
• 12:41
  How does he sleep at night? Very comfortably, obviously.
• 12:44
  Yes. In a nice house with multiple
• 12:47
  thread count sheets. Yes.
• 12:48
  He's got those Egyptian ones. He's in good shape.
• 12:51
  They continually, and I understand Illinois politics.
• 12:55
  It's a different animal. Yeah, keep hearing that.
• 12:57
  I'll take your word. That makes it more difficult, I
• 13:00
  am sure, to give him at least some.
• 13:02
  So what do they want? Does he want the state to pony
• 13:05
  up for part of this? No, they want infrastructure,
• 13:08
  which I think goes without saying.
• 13:10
  You're you got to get people in and out.
• 13:12
  Absolutely. The infrastructure needs to be
• 13:15
  there. The roads, the interstates, all
• 13:16
  the different things that need to happen in order to have 7080
• 13:19
  thousand people coming to a venue in Arlington Heights.
• 13:22
  It's not going to happen. There's not a doubt in my mind
• 13:24
  that that is where the stadium is going to be built.
• 13:26
  It's going to be in Arlington Heights.
• 13:27
  It's going to be at the racetrack.
• 13:29
  They have the land. They're looking for some tax
• 13:31
  breaks and some health infrastructure.
• 13:33
  They're not asking for hundreds of millions of dollars like
• 13:36
  we've seen plenty of places to do and ask for in the past.
• 13:38
  That's not what this is, but I think the politics are a big
• 13:42
  part of it too. And when you got an ace up your
• 13:44
  sleeve and that's what they're trying to play here.
• 13:46
  Playing. Yeah, we're going to take it out
• 13:47
  here. JB Pritzker, he's pushed back
• 13:49
  the Illinois governor. They're going to end up in
• 13:52
  Arlington. I I think it's just a whole lot
• 13:54
  of talk about something that eventually is going to happen.
• 13:56
  So I've been to the site of the to, to the racetrack.
• 14:00
  Yeah, I've been to the track a couple of times.
• 14:02
  I don't remember it being, and I could be dead wrong because AI
• 14:06
  wasn't driving. I was a passenger, OK, but I
• 14:09
  don't remember being it. It would being easy to get in
• 14:12
  and out of. Do you know?
• 14:14
  I don't. I do not.
• 14:16
  So one of my college buddies, he worked at the racetrack in high
• 14:19
  school and after college. That's a palace.
• 14:21
  But he was a palace. Yeah.
• 14:23
  He loved it. Still a big horse player.
• 14:25
  And he now after college, after highway, he moved back and
• 14:29
  that's where he's lived ever since for the last 2530 years.
• 14:32
  He he's excited about this because his house is like less
• 14:35
  than two miles away. Oh geez, He's talking about some
• 14:37
  NFL weekends now. Just air BB it and I'll be able
• 14:40
  to build it for a couple of months.
• 14:41
  Hell yeah. And and be able to do that.
• 14:43
  He's also told me that it would be a shock if it doesn't happen
• 14:47
  this way. Somebody that lives in the
• 14:49
  community says that, but I've never been to the area.
• 14:51
  So you don't know if the interstates run close to it, it
• 14:55
  has to I would assume, right? I don't know, maybe not, but
• 14:59
  they do need it. We'll, we'll see where it goes.
• 15:01
  I'm not buying for one second what was put out there
• 15:03
  yesterday, but just the timing, right, there's this game on
• 15:06
  Saturday night is so huge. Trent, I like your bears.
• 15:10
  I like your bears in this spot. I really do.
• 15:13
  I wonder about Green Bay, just the bounce back with all the
• 15:16
  injuries. That's just it.
• 15:16
  It's the injuries that they've got stacked up after what
• 15:21
  happened in the second-half of the game against Denver.
• 15:23
  And just how do you respond? The certain interception changed
• 15:27
  the game because I thought Green Bay was on their way to winning
• 15:30
  convincingly. I was right there with you, you
• 15:32
  know, And then Watson gets hurt on the play.
• 15:35
  And then Parsons goes down chasing Bo Nicks and Denver
• 15:39
  comes back to win the football game.
• 15:41
  So I, I, I, I just, I like Green Bay in the spot.
• 15:46
  So Green Bay opened as a favorite and now the Bears are a
• 15:51
  slight favorite or pick them in most spots.
• 15:53
  Yeah, I think it's one 1 1/2 some places I hadn't looked yet
• 15:56
  this morning to see if there's been a whole lot of movement on
• 15:59
  the Bear side of things. But it's something that
• 16:01
  definitely makes a whole lot of sense, too.
• 16:02
  I mean, you look at this Bears team, the way that they've been
• 16:05
  playing, how they played just a couple of weeks ago against
• 16:08
  Green Bay, I think that second-half also opened a whole
• 16:10
  lot of eyes. That was a hell of a game.
• 16:13
  That was one of the better games of the year.
• 16:14
  And the Bears are getting healthier.
• 16:16
  Doubtful they're going to have Rome Doones out there, but
• 16:18
  they're probably going to be able to get burden out there the
• 16:21
  way that they can run the ball. Now with Parsons out, that
• 16:25
  always kind of lingering doubt in the back of your mind what
• 16:29
  you're going to do. You got to have protection.
• 16:32
  You got to chip him, you got to have extra that falls by the
• 16:35
  wayside. How much more that opens up for
• 16:37
  Caleb Williams was terrible for the first quarter and 7/8 of
• 16:41
  that game against you didn't have a completion or one
• 16:43
  completion. What was it until like the final
• 16:45
  three minutes of the first half of the game up in Green Bay?
• 16:49
  I think this is the one where and it's a real opportunity to
• 16:52
  cement the Bears are here. It's the one seat out of the
• 16:56
  realm of possibility. I don't think so because we have
• 16:59
  all those NFC West teams that are playing each other.
• 17:01
  So obviously the game tonight. I know that Seattle and San Fran
• 17:04
  finish the year, yes. Do the Rams have?
• 17:07
  Oh, they have to, but they'll get Arizona, aha.
• 17:11
  So they've got Seahawks. Then they go to Atlanta.
• 17:13
  Very winnable. I mean, they're going to get
• 17:15
  Kirk Cousins. That's the final Monday night of
• 17:18
  the year, is that right? It is.
• 17:20
  That's where the curtains coming down on.
• 17:22
  Well, we do get the wild card game yes and and then they'll
• 17:26
  finish with the Cardinals. So you have to assume that
• 17:30
  regardless what happens tonight, the Rams are going to win their
• 17:32
  last two and that would put them at 13 and 4 Seattle wins
• 17:38
  tonight. Oh man, I'm just saying are the
• 17:42
  are the Niners out of it as far as winning the West are the
• 17:46
  Niners No, absolutely not No, there's still a real path for
• 17:49
  the Niners to get it done. Let's you'd say the rare the
• 17:52
  Seahawks win tonight, let's play that and kind of go down that
• 17:56
  realm. If I want to see if the Rams and
• 18:00
  the Bears would tie, that means that the Bears have to obviously
• 18:04
  win out, which is going to be difficult for them to do.
• 18:06
  The Rams Boo in both of their games and it comes down to that
• 18:10
  tiebreaker. That means we got to give
• 18:11
  Seattle another loss that we do. And the Bears in this scenario
• 18:15
  would win the tiebreaker at 13 and 4 over the Rams.
• 18:18
  I don't think the Bears are going three, you know.
• 18:20
  Yeah, I don't either. I don't either because they've
• 18:22
  got to go to San Francisco. San Francisco.
• 18:25
  And then they finish up against the Lions.
• 18:27
  Against the Lions, who very well could be playing for their
• 18:29
  playoff lives or playing for nothing.
• 18:31
  Yeah. Let's hope.
• 18:32
  Wouldn't that be nice? Fingers crossed.
• 18:34
  Yeah, fingers crossed at that. Now, there's going to be a team
• 18:37
  or a guy that's going to get a team motivated even without a
• 18:39
  playoff. Yep.
• 18:40
  Dan Campbell's probably. Well, look what he did when he
• 18:41
  marched into Green Bay with before they became the Lions.
• 18:44
  Yes. First year.
• 18:45
  That's great call, right? Yeah, playing for nothing and
• 18:48
  and had a phenomenal football game.
• 18:51
  Well, we'll see this game tonight, though.
• 18:52
  Massive. You know what I'm going to bring
• 18:54
  up right now? I'm going to get the Google
• 18:55
  machine. All right, I want to see
• 18:57
  Seattle's weather. Let me find it here, Trent.
• 19:00
  I'm not as quick as you. All right, Seattle TTLE, Seattle
• 19:05
  weather. All right, here we go.
• 19:08
  Where's the hourly? Let's see we got 21 mile an hour
• 19:12
  winds at kickoff precipitation dwindling, but still 40% chance
• 19:18
  and temperatures what 45? Oh, that's better than I
• 19:21
  thought. Late rain.
• 19:23
  Yeah, that's better than I thought.
• 19:25
  Not conducive you wouldn't think to great passing condition.
• 19:29
  So in a windy and Devante Adams in or out?
• 19:33
  He's out for sure. Not for sure, but I believe when
• 19:36
  what I heard earlier that I know he was questionable as of
• 19:39
  yesterday. So we'll see where it goes.
• 19:41
  But man, couple of local notes saw today, I think it was it was
• 19:46
  the final of the all American lists came out that are part of
• 19:49
  being a consensus or unanimous that came out.
• 19:52
  Good to see Kaden Wheechen there.
• 19:53
  I was so bothered by two of the places that did not have Kaden
• 19:58
  Wheechen as the first team returner.
• 20:00
  Well, two places have, they don't have kick returner or punt
• 20:03
  returner. They don't they have
• 20:04
  all-purpose. So is Casey Concepcion, who's a
• 20:07
  stud at Texas A&M. He's got 2 punt returns.
• 20:09
  He doesn't even return kickoffs. Right.
• 20:12
  He only returns punts. He's got 2 punt touchdowns this
• 20:14
  year, doesn't have the three. He averages about 10 yards less
• 20:17
  per punt return. But because it's all-purpose,
• 20:20
  he's a better all-purpose player and he got it there.
• 20:23
  It's just crazy because being a consensus all American, it's a
• 20:27
  big deal. I mean, that's something that
• 20:29
  lives for a long time. It lives in the walls over at
• 20:31
  Kitchen Stadium at the football complex.
• 20:34
  You get the the mural, the painting that put is goes up
• 20:36
  there and we just needed this final one in order to get that
• 20:39
  honor. It's just crazy to me that in
• 20:41
  order to get this accomplishment that you have these voting
• 20:45
  places that do it different ways that do it completely different
• 20:48
  ways and and how that can become a consensus and then a weapon.
• 20:52
  He was, Oh my God, what a weapon.
• 20:54
  How many returners that they have had?
• 20:56
  Oh, jeez, we we talked about obviously the connection with
• 20:58
  Tim Dwight and breaking the record and everything.
• 21:00
  But think of the guys in the interim and in between and just
• 21:02
  how many Charlie Jones, look what he's doing in the NFL
• 21:05
  tower. Look at Cooper de Jean, who's in
• 21:06
  the news for different reasons here the last couple of days.
• 21:09
  Amir Smith, Marcette, great kick returns.
• 21:11
  That's right. I'll go way back to guys like
• 21:14
  what was it Hill who was there in the early 90s, late 90s.
• 21:20
  They've had so many good returners year after year after
• 21:23
  year. And credit also has to go to the
• 21:26
  guy that's going Mike the Hyde returned punser kicks punts.
• 21:29
  That was the time, though, that Kirk just told him to put his
• 21:31
  hand up. Remember that weren't a whole
• 21:35
  lot of opportunities. Just get just catch the ball.
• 21:38
  I do remember him. Did he get, did he take a a
• 21:41
  lateral from Sash in the bowl game against Missouri?
• 21:44
  It wasn't. No.
• 21:46
  The lateral, that was the Michigan State game where
• 21:49
  Michigan State released Rucker from prison, let him play in the
• 21:52
  game on Saturday, out in prison on Thursday, playing on
• 21:55
  Saturday. That was a game I think Michigan
• 21:57
  State was ranked third in the country, top five.
• 21:59
  And I would just absolutely house them.
• 22:01
  That was like 38 to 10 or something like that.
• 22:03
  But didn't Michael Hyde score in the Missouri game?
• 22:05
  He did. Yep.
• 22:06
  Down in Arizona. He did have.
• 22:07
  That was just a pick return, though.
• 22:08
  That's what it was. Yeah.
• 22:09
  That was a pick six that salted that one away.
• 22:12
  Marcus Cope Poker had a monster performance in that one.
• 22:15
  And Speaking of Iowa football, one other note just to file
• 22:18
  away, you saw who entered the transfer portal, both.
• 22:21
  Purbula is back now. Iowa was incredibly close, let's
• 22:26
  just put it that way. Incredibly close to getting his
• 22:28
  services in the portal a year ago.
• 22:32
  There are some people that believe that they had him in the
• 22:34
  bank. So Missouri offer more money, do
• 22:37
  you think? Don't know?
• 22:38
  But I do know that there were people in the football offices
• 22:42
  that thought he was their guy, that they had got to the finish
• 22:45
  line and he was going to be the Hawkeye quarterback for this
• 22:48
  season. Well, they already have a
• 22:50
  relationship. I don't know, after he made the
• 22:53
  decision. Bridges don't know, don't have
• 22:56
  any idea on that front. And I'll be making some phone
• 22:58
  calls today to see about that. However, what I do know is they
• 23:02
  were incredibly close. So he obviously visited.
• 23:06
  He did. They liked him, he liked them,
• 23:09
  He liked Tim Lester. Again, don't know what happened
• 23:13
  after the decision to go to Missouri as opposed to and this
• 23:16
  would be a one year deal, right? Has he got one year or two?
• 23:19
  Not positive, not positive on that front.
• 23:22
  But regardless, that's an upgrade.
• 23:24
  That's an upgrade throwing the ball and a guy that, as we've
• 23:27
  seen the last two years, I would has been at their best when
• 23:30
  they've had an athletic quarterback, a guy that can move
• 23:33
  a bowl. Perugula, he absolutely can do
• 23:36
  that. This is a guy with movement.
• 23:37
  This is a guy that can do things with his feet coupled with fair
• 23:41
  to say, a better passer than Mark Gronowski.
• 23:46
  Probably fair, yeah, probably fair.
• 23:48
  Not the bulldozer as a runner quicker, but he's got some power
• 23:53
  to him, too. So if this is going to happen,
• 23:55
  you think this would be one that happens relatively quickly
• 23:58
  because of the previous relationship?
• 24:00
  Or will he use Iowa against another school like maybe he did
• 24:04
  to get the Missouri offer? Hard to say.
• 24:08
  We'll take a time out. We'll come back.
• 24:10
  Lee Sterling is going to join us. paramountsports.com.
• 24:13
  This is final visit, one year left of eligibility according to
• 24:17
  Baseball Betty. I had a text from Drew Shipley.
• 24:21
  Do you know much about the what's going on with the Truman
• 24:23
  complex, the Royals and the Chiefs?
• 24:25
  I know they're both kicking the tires on.
• 24:28
  That's a good. You know what, Drew?
• 24:29
  That that's a good. Let's get Blair Kirk off on
• 24:32
  that. Yeah.
• 24:33
  January, February topic to get to because, yeah, I mean, a lot
• 24:37
  of people visit down there, obviously.
• 24:39
  Lee Sterling next. Chicken coop still to come.
• 24:41
  Miller and Condon. Glad you're with us on the Iowa
• 24:44
  Sports Radio Network. I'm Mary Cotton.
• 24:56
  Welcome back, Iowa Sports Radio Network, wherever you are
• 24:58
  listening in the state of I, We're grateful that you are.
• 25:01
  We'll take you until 2:00. Lee Sterling,
• 25:03
  paramountsports.com paramountsports.com for Lee.
• 25:06
  This will be Lee's final appearance with us until the
• 25:10
  week of the Super Bowl. Thursday before the Super Bowl.
• 25:12
  Lee Trenton Kent, compliments of the season.
• 25:15
  Thank you for coming on. How are you?
• 25:19
  Good, I'm good. It's been gorgeous here so going
• 25:23
  to try in between some games this weekend and next week, get
• 25:28
  out, get some exercise outside. So just try to enjoy pressing
• 25:33
  away from the traffic jams. Used to take me about 25 minutes
• 25:37
  to head down to go to the Miami Heat games downtown that takes
• 25:40
  about 55 minutes to an hour. So a lot of snowbirds, they come
• 25:45
  early. They are here the week before
• 25:47
  Thanksgiving. Used to be the they left like in
• 25:49
  February. They don't leave until mid-april
• 25:51
  now. Smart decision as we're learning
• 25:54
  with our weather patterns up here.
• 25:56
  Yeah, spend as much time down there as possible.
• 25:59
  Let's get into some bowl games here, a wide range of them.
• 26:01
  We'll get into some NFL a little bit later on, but let's start
• 26:05
  before we actually get to the games.
• 26:06
  Lee, just give us a thought or two with all the opt outs not
• 26:10
  knowing. Go back to a couple days ago.
• 26:13
  The running back from Jacksonville State goes through
• 26:15
  warmups. Looks like he's good to go.
• 26:17
  Guy had 1600 yards rushing and then he just is in sweatpants on
• 26:20
  the sideline. How do you do this?
• 26:21
  How do you handicap and what do you need to work on or do
• 26:24
  beforehand before he actually put in your bed?
• 26:28
  Well, it just takes a lot more work.
• 26:29
  So you know, you got to used to be just worried about if guys
• 26:34
  were injured. Now you have situations like
• 26:36
  that. There's also a couple teams, not
• 26:39
  going to say that the teams are, but literally last week, their
• 26:42
  entire coaching staff except for the GA's grad assistance, they
• 26:46
  went out and went to state playoff games and we're, you
• 26:49
  know, trying to flip some guys and also check out some guys for
• 26:52
  the following year. So you got to be on top of
• 26:55
  everything. And then also you got to be
• 26:56
  prepared to take some underdogs and also take some underdogs on
• 27:00
  the money line. And I'm talking about even some
• 27:01
  78 and 12 and 14 point underdog. So if you play, if you're going
• 27:07
  to play a dog, you you want to play at least 25% or a third of
• 27:12
  your wager on the money line. Unlike the regular season money
• 27:18
  line, underdogs come in all the time.
• 27:20
  Lot more variants, certainly in these bowl games that we've seen
• 27:22
  that throughout the years. Well, variants in this one, at
• 27:25
  least in terms of point spread. What a huge one.
• 27:26
  This is Utah, Nebraska out in Vegas, the utes laying 16 1/2
• 27:32
  against the Huskers. So everyone looks at it and
• 27:35
  they're like, oh, OK, we've got a team here limping down the
• 27:38
  stretch, playing with a backup quarterback who isn't even 100%,
• 27:43
  and you're going to go up against a Utah team that I mean,
• 27:48
  they're going to have their head coach coaching his last game and
• 27:52
  very well thought of and liked and so public.
• 27:55
  Yeah, I think you're going to see some people lay it.
• 27:57
  I'm not going to be one of them. I respect Kyle Whittingham, but
• 28:01
  and their quarterback Devin Dampier has done well against
• 28:03
  poor defenses. But there's still a level of
• 28:05
  talent here that's right there, I think with Utah.
• 28:09
  So 16 1/2 points is just way too much here.
• 28:12
  And also Utah special teams are nothing special.
• 28:16
  I'm going to take the points here.
• 28:17
  Might have to hold my nose but I wouldn't be surprised if this is
• 28:20
  1 possession game. Utah wins this game something
• 28:23
  like 28 to 20. Let's get to the Reli Quest
• 28:25
  Bowl. It's the Hawk guys.
• 28:26
  They're taking on Diego Pavia squad, Vanderbilt.
• 28:30
  Vanderbilt's a 5 1/2 point favorite, Lee.
• 28:33
  Yeah, and, and, and I think I will might be the more talented
• 28:36
  squad. I think they're better in the
• 28:37
  trenches here and they have the type of defense that can give
• 28:40
  Diego Pavia some real trouble here.
• 28:43
  They're not going to fall for, you know, the little gimmick
• 28:46
  plays and and over pursue. They've seen all this before and
• 28:51
  they're going to make Vanderbilt earn it.
• 28:52
  They're not going to give up, you know, 2-3 play touchdowns.
• 28:55
  They're going to make them go down the field 10/12/14 plays.
• 28:58
  And Diego Pavi, if he can't run, you know, that's when he he
• 29:02
  tries to make things happen and might throw an interception
• 29:06
  fumble. I think I was built to their
• 29:09
  defense here to hang in this game here.
• 29:11
  I have Winning this game outright 2724.
• 29:15
  Hawkeyes with the win in that one, to the playoff we go.
• 29:18
  Tomorrow night, Oklahoma plays host to Alabama.
• 29:22
  Crimson Tide A slight favorite in this one.
• 29:24
  Yeah. It was actually slipped around,
• 29:27
  slipped around in the last 18 hours.
• 29:28
  So Oklahoma's A1 to 1 1/2 point favorite here and I actually
• 29:33
  think justifiably so. So I told everyone that Georgia
• 29:37
  is going to win by double digits.
• 29:38
  I did. I think they were going to hold
• 29:40
  them tonight crossing the 50 yard line for the 1st 3/4.
• 29:43
  No, but I thought that they were the bigger, stronger, faster,
• 29:47
  more motivated team and they certainly showed it here.
• 29:50
  Bama, they've got problems even though they'll have a couple
• 29:52
  guys coming back on the offensive line. 10 sacks allowed
• 29:56
  the last three games. Ty Simpson, not 100%.
• 30:00
  You're going to give me the home team with the better defense and
• 30:05
  by far the better special teams here.
• 30:08
  They got a kicker tape with Sandel here.
• 30:10
  He's money inside 65 yards. Alabama lately, I mean, it's
• 30:14
  like 50% on their field goals the last four or five games.
• 30:17
  Give me Oklahoma, They knock off Alabama for a third straight
• 30:21
  time at home. Should be a great game tomorrow
• 30:24
  night. Sooners, 2420.
• 30:26
  All right, the early game on Saturday, Texas A&M, they're
• 30:29
  favored 3 1/2 over Miami. Who do you like?
• 30:33
  Yeah. So I think by Miami playing
• 30:36
  there a couple years ago, Marios first season, I think it's his
• 30:39
  second game. They went out there and I was
• 30:42
  there and they did it with Tyler Van Dyke.
• 30:45
  They probably would have been better off with Dick Van Dyke
• 30:47
  under center. They had all kinds of, I mean,
• 30:51
  legal procedures, delay of games.
• 30:54
  I mean, it was painful and they still only lost by 6.
• 30:58
  Now both teams are obviously much better than that time, but
• 31:02
  who is A&M beaten since Notre Dame?
• 31:04
  Their SEC schedule before the Texas game, the opponent's
• 31:08
  record combined with 11 and 40. Carson Beck has seen all this.
• 31:13
  He's played in every tough stadium and he's won a national
• 31:16
  title playing well as of late. The last four games, 11
• 31:19
  touchdowns, just one interception.
• 31:22
  They might have Miami the best player in college football.
• 31:24
  Malici Tony 84 passes thrown this year, 84 reception.
• 31:31
  They got him now in the Wildcat. His people don't remember this
• 31:35
  is senior season. Most of the year had to play
• 31:36
  quarterback because they're starting quarterback at her led
• 31:40
  him to a state title. So they're using the Wildcat.
• 31:43
  They're running them on reverses and throwing the football here.
• 31:46
  And I think Miami has the better offensive and defensive lines
• 31:49
  here. It's 11 AM start.
• 31:51
  I think it's it certainly helps Miami here.
• 31:54
  Wrong team favored Hurricanes upset Texas A&M 2423 New Year's
• 32:01
  Eve Miami versus Ohio State in the 2002 championship game
• 32:07
  rematch. Get your tickets again,
• 32:08
  Absolutely looking forward. I hope we get that one off for
• 32:12
  you, Lee. Let's go to Ken's team, the
• 32:13
  Broncos. They're leading a field goal
• 32:15
  against the Jaguars and teams that have combined to win 16
• 32:18
  consecutive games. Something has to give.
• 32:22
  Yeah, And, and I, I think Jacksonville's still a little
• 32:25
  fraudulent. I mean, they're set up to fail
• 32:27
  here after what's going on. Last week, they played The Jets.
• 32:30
  Trevor Lawrence threw for six touchdowns in that game.
• 32:33
  If it wasn't for The Jets special teams they wouldn't want
• 32:35
  a game this year. Jaguars coming off 3 consecutive
• 32:39
  wins here and some easy ones. 5 and O straight up and against
• 32:43
  the spread. Their last five games for the
• 32:45
  wins were by 29/22/17 and 28 points here.
• 32:50
  Now got to face the number 3 defense against the run in
• 32:55
  Denver and if they don't have success there, look out because
• 32:59
  then you're going to see the Broncos defense pass rush get
• 33:03
  unleashed here. And all of a sudden, last 4-5
• 33:06
  games, Sean Payton gradually allowing Bo Nicks to grow and
• 33:11
  he's gaining confidence Now. I think Denver's going to lay it
• 33:14
  on Jacksonville here, 30 to 13. That reminds me with Reeves with
• 33:18
  a young John Elway. Didn't trust them.
• 33:20
  There you go. And I realized I just said John
• 33:22
  Elway and Bo Nicks in the same sentence, so hopefully they'll
• 33:24
  get there and deserve that at some point.
• 33:26
