- 1:39Speaker 4: you to the show. We have five good legs between us.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, one of them.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Yours fell off.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Yeah, king around, we'll fall off.
- 1:51Speaker 6: It's still there. Oh, just a little swollen, had scouting
- 1:55Speaker 6: on my part. Yeah, yeah, it's still there.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Hard to see though.
- 2:00Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I had a little one of those procedures
- 2:02Speaker 6: at Pinnacle where they're doing some plasma rich or platelet
- 2:07Speaker 6: rich plasma therapy.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Back in the cartoons, if there's people plasma and dog plasma,
- 2:14Speaker 4: make sure you don't get the dog plasma.
- 2:17Speaker 8: People.
- 2:17Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure it was my own plasma.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Okay, well that's good because the dog plasma will make
- 2:24Speaker 4: you start acting like a dog. Have you being right?
- 2:27Speaker 4: According to the cartoon heard did.
- 2:29Speaker 3: You hear the barking it?
- 2:32Speaker 6: Oh no, that would be the worst thing that could
- 2:35Speaker 6: possibly happen.
- 2:35Speaker 4: I'd rather not have a leg. I love probably like
- 2:38Speaker 4: it a lot about it.
- 2:40Speaker 6: Get a lot more pets you should.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Go around helping everybody.
- 2:45Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true. Sorry, what's different? Dog plasma? Put in?
- 2:50Speaker 6: What's new? Yeah that would be new. But yeah, no,
- 2:55Speaker 6: it's fine. I had it before, but I had it
- 2:57Speaker 6: done on like a Friday, so it kind of it's
- 2:59Speaker 6: stiff for day or so and then and then it dissipates,
- 3:03Speaker 6: it goes, it goes away. But yeah, now I had
- 3:05Speaker 6: it done yesterday and I was got up today and
- 3:07Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, there's gonna be a rough one getting around.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna tell you this right now, And I
- 3:13Speaker 4: don't want to ruin anything for you, but you've been
- 3:16Speaker 4: drinking a lot of water lately, and there is no
- 3:19Speaker 4: way that Ashley and I are going to carry you
- 3:22Speaker 4: to the bathroom. If your leg starts, then might just
- 3:26Speaker 4: go right here. I'll go get a.
- 3:27Speaker 9: Dolly from the engineering slash storage room.
- 3:31Speaker 3: We could just push him up and down there.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I might.
- 3:36Speaker 4: I think you think that's I think you think that's easy.
- 3:38Speaker 3: You could wheel yourself, No, I couldn't. Like a scooter.
- 3:44Speaker 6: I don't know if I could do that. You use
- 3:46Speaker 6: those two haul refrigerators around. I'm not the size of
- 3:49Speaker 6: refrigerator plus her refrigerators easier.
- 3:53Speaker 4: To manage you with all your limbs and loose parts.
- 3:57Speaker 4: You'd be flopping over and I'd be having to push
- 3:59Speaker 4: you with one arm and then hold you in place
- 4:02Speaker 4: with the other. Yeah, that's more work than just carrying you.
- 4:05Speaker 9: We have one that lays flat. I was thinking you
- 4:07Speaker 9: could just sit on that and we could push you around.
- 4:09Speaker 6: Okay, we might have to do that because I actually
- 4:12Speaker 6: do have to go to the bathroom, and I chose
- 4:14Speaker 6: do not try to make the trip.
- 4:16Speaker 4: It would take me about ten minutes to get there.
- 4:17Speaker 9: Use a wheelichair. We're in wheelichairs. Just put your bad
- 4:21Speaker 9: knee on there and push with your good foot.
- 4:23Speaker 4: Just put a little Johnny on the spot right out here.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Little honey bucket. Yeah, people they call and call them
- 4:30Speaker 4: in Madison BUCkies apparently, according to Softie. Really yeah, they
- 4:34Speaker 4: call their outhouses BUCkies. Well that's dumb. I don't remember that.
- 4:38Speaker 3: My time was really funny.
- 4:40Speaker 4: By the way, that was the company that made them,
- 4:42Speaker 4: like honey Bucket in Madison, Wisconsin.
- 4:45Speaker 6: Yeah, BUCkies is a big I got to go to
- 4:47Speaker 6: a Bucky window BUCkies supermarket before heard of it.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Bring it up.
- 4:53Speaker 6: Yeah, mini mart that is basically like Walmart, but on steroids. Like,
- 4:57Speaker 6: but it's a gas station, Slash said, Bucky Beavers. It
- 5:02Speaker 6: has a beaver, it has a it's not it's BUCkies,
- 5:05Speaker 6: but b U C K E e. Oh, and it
- 5:09Speaker 6: has a beaver on there. But it's but it's not
- 5:13Speaker 6: Bucky Beaver's. That's called BUCkies.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Just called BUCkies. Yeah, but they have everything.
- 5:16Speaker 6: I have food and clothes and gas and good knees.
- 5:20Speaker 6: They probably would have a good knee or two in there.
- 5:23Speaker 6: We run in there and get you one. I could
- 5:25Speaker 6: use it right now. Yeah, you can just real hop
- 5:28Speaker 6: hop in. I'm gonna hop in real quick and get
- 5:30Speaker 6: Bucky a knee. I'll be right back.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Yeah, a leftne get left, well.
- 5:37Speaker 10: The road.
- 5:38Speaker 3: The one you've had a lot of problems with.
- 5:40Speaker 6: My right one is the one I had replaced. My
- 5:42Speaker 6: left one is started to hurt. That's why I'm doing
- 5:45Speaker 6: the integrated.
- 5:46Speaker 3: You need another right one. That's the one that's the
- 5:49Speaker 3: bionic me.
- 5:50Speaker 4: It is bionic.
- 5:51Speaker 6: I'm trying to stay away from getting another bionic one
- 5:54Speaker 6: by doing this. And it's just part of the process.
- 5:57Speaker 6: You get it shut with this plasma and then now
- 5:59Speaker 6: they'll put some stem cells in there. Oh, my next
- 6:03Speaker 6: spin it around. Yep, yeah, yep, yep.
- 6:05Speaker 4: All right, Well, hopefully this is just the storm before
- 6:10Speaker 4: the calm. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping to that it
- 6:13Speaker 4: just tames down here a little bit because we do
- 6:16Speaker 4: not want to carry you. We're not worried about your pain. No,
- 6:19Speaker 4: we do not want to carry you to the bathroom.
- 6:21Speaker 4: You might have to. Yeah, all right, well, good morning
- 6:24Speaker 4: to you. We get started here on this day. And
- 6:27Speaker 4: you know, I was talking to Hugh actually on the
- 6:31Speaker 4: phone last night and he's like, I was a busy
- 6:33Speaker 4: day talking Seahawks. But we could have easily done an
- 6:36Speaker 4: entire show on the Huskies. And yeah, but I'm kind
- 6:40Speaker 4: of glad we didn't because I know some people like
- 6:44Speaker 4: talking about things that. I mean, it's compelling radio to,
- 6:50Speaker 4: you know, talk about a loss. It might even be
- 6:52Speaker 4: more compelling to talk about a loss and try to
- 6:55Speaker 4: fix things and try to point fingers and try to
- 6:57Speaker 4: figure out what went wrong. Again, that's probably is, you know,
- 7:02Speaker 4: the kind of radio show that you can sink your
- 7:04Speaker 4: teeth into. But it was kind of fun, kind of
- 7:06Speaker 4: focusing on the blowout win from a football team here
- 7:09Speaker 4: in town yesterday. But there's no doubt there are some
- 7:13Speaker 4: angry Husky fans, dog fans, and even a head coach
- 7:16Speaker 4: over what happened in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday. Jedfish and
- 7:22Speaker 4: his team. It's like they played inside a BUCkies. They
- 7:26Speaker 4: played one of their worst games of the year. And
- 7:29Speaker 4: after two weeks, two weeks of build up, a bye
- 7:31Speaker 4: and everything, two weeks of build up talking about how, hey,
- 7:34Speaker 4: the path to the college playoff is here, and man,
- 7:37Speaker 4: the door got slammed on that rather quickly, on just
- 7:41Speaker 4: a stinker effort against a team that just hasn't been
- 7:44Speaker 4: able to find success this year in the Wisconsin Badgers,
- 7:48Speaker 4: And so it led to a bit of a testy
- 7:51Speaker 4: press conference yesterday Jedfish once again being asked, and it
- 7:56Speaker 4: sounds like more aggressively so from the Seattle media hoarde
- 8:00Speaker 4: about what's the deal? Are you staying or not? Do
- 8:04Speaker 4: you want to be here or not? There are rumors
- 8:06Speaker 4: out there that your wife and daughter are living in
- 8:10Speaker 4: Arizona and don't want to be here, and all sorts
- 8:14Speaker 4: of things that were posed to Jedfish yesterday, and it's
- 8:17Speaker 4: the most animated he's been about this topic. It's the
- 8:20Speaker 4: most you know, pound your fist on the table kind
- 8:25Speaker 4: of reaction that we've seen from Jedfish trying to assure
- 8:28Speaker 4: people that yes, he wants to be here, Yes things
- 8:31Speaker 4: are going well despite Saturday's the lost to Wisconsin, and
- 8:36Speaker 4: so he tried to do his best to convince us
- 8:38Speaker 4: that I don't care what rumors that you're hearing, I
- 8:41Speaker 4: don't care about the ridiculousness of the coaching carousel. I'm
- 8:47Speaker 4: here to stay and you're not going to make up
- 8:50Speaker 4: a story on me, and it's actually leading to a distraction.
- 8:54Speaker 4: So he was actually quite adamant about it yesterday. Now,
- 8:58Speaker 4: I watched Rafael pelmer Zo perjure himself in Supreme Court
- 9:03Speaker 4: by doing the exact same thing. So you never know
- 9:06Speaker 4: exactly what the truth is. But I'll give Jetfish this,
- 9:10Speaker 4: This is the most he stepped forward and said Bucky
- 9:14Speaker 4: that it's all garbage, it's hogwash. I'm staying here.
- 9:18Speaker 6: Well, the idea of whenever coaching vacancies pop up, then
- 9:23Speaker 6: people are going to write stories on who's going to
- 9:26Speaker 6: fill that spot, and then they do end up throwing
- 9:29Speaker 6: names in there. Now, I would say, to some degree,
- 9:31Speaker 6: I like jet I think he seems like a nice dude,
- 9:33Speaker 6: But I mean, the fact that you've been a mobile
- 9:37Speaker 6: coach for a majority of your career lends itself to
- 9:41Speaker 6: where you're going to be one of the names that
- 9:43Speaker 6: pops into people's heads when they're writing articles, they're having
- 9:45Speaker 6: discussions about it, and so don't get too terribly upset
- 9:48Speaker 6: about it. I do think that the idea of trying
- 9:51Speaker 6: to put you know, add this plus that, I think
- 9:54Speaker 6: that that does not necessarily mean the fact that his
- 9:58Speaker 6: wife and kids aren't here, you know, could just simply
- 10:01Speaker 6: be Yeah, I didn't want to uproot my daughter from
- 10:03Speaker 6: another school because I have already moved.
- 10:05Speaker 4: You have friends there. That itself makes sense. Yeah, I
- 10:08Speaker 4: mean so.
- 10:08Speaker 6: But at the same time, you can't get your you know,
- 10:11Speaker 6: you can't get too terribly riled up if you're the
- 10:13Speaker 6: coach that has moved around consistently over the course of
- 10:16Speaker 6: your career, and understandably so I don't I don't fault
- 10:19Speaker 6: coaches for doing it. Now, there's a part of it
- 10:21Speaker 6: where loyalty or really wanting to put your roots down
- 10:25Speaker 6: and really wanting to you know, make a name for
- 10:27Speaker 6: yourself in a certain market or a certain at a
- 10:29Speaker 6: certain program. I think that there's something to it but
- 10:32Speaker 6: if you if you're like that is where I would
- 10:35Speaker 6: rather be, then okay, go ahead and go. I mean,
- 10:38Speaker 6: that's that's your prerogative. Is your your right to go
- 10:41Speaker 6: chase whatever dream, whatever program you want, and hopefully you
- 10:45Speaker 6: find something that you want to stick with. And yet
- 10:49Speaker 6: he was making it sound yesterday like this is where
- 10:51Speaker 6: he wants to be and this is where he wants
- 10:52Speaker 6: to stick now, just like everybody else that hears that,
- 10:55Speaker 6: they're like, yeah, but that's exactly what you would say
- 10:58Speaker 6: until you leave, right, that's what. So to me, it's
- 11:01Speaker 6: one of those I'm not gonna I wonder.
- 11:03Speaker 4: What the press conferences were like in Tucson, Yeah, exactly
- 11:07Speaker 4: leading up to his announcement that he was coming here.
- 11:10Speaker 4: And look, I'm really not trying to jump on Jed
- 11:14Speaker 4: here because I think it is grossly unfair if he
- 11:18Speaker 4: legitimately wants to be here and legitimately wants to see
- 11:22Speaker 4: this thing through and legitimately thinks he's building something special
- 11:25Speaker 4: and his wife and daughter are legitimately in Arizona until
- 11:28Speaker 4: she's done with high school because Jed is planning on
- 11:31Speaker 4: staying in Seattle for the next ten to fifteen years
- 11:34Speaker 4: of his career, and that missus Fish really desperately wants
- 11:37Speaker 4: to be next to her husband, but she's trying to
- 11:39Speaker 4: do right by her daughter. I mean, that's this is
- 11:42Speaker 4: desperately unfair that this would be hounding him, following him
- 11:47Speaker 4: around in this process because let's face it, today's college coach,
- 11:51Speaker 4: you are recruiting every second of every single day. That
- 11:55Speaker 4: press conference hurts his recruiting efforts. That press conference makes
- 11:59Speaker 4: the next seventeen year old or the star linebacker from
- 12:04Speaker 4: James Madison that would like to jump up into the
- 12:06Speaker 4: big boy conference before his time is done at college.
- 12:09Speaker 4: That makes everybody pause. Every one of those young men
- 12:13Speaker 4: pause and their families pause about well, where they's smoke,
- 12:17Speaker 4: there's fire, right dad, You know that if they're talking
- 12:21Speaker 4: about him leaving, there must be something to it. So
- 12:25Speaker 4: from that standpoint, I do sympathize with him if he's
- 12:30Speaker 4: telling the truth, if what he's saying is actually genuine,
- 12:34Speaker 4: that he does want to be here, And unfortunately, because
- 12:37Speaker 4: of his history, it's hard to believe he genuinely wants
- 12:41Speaker 4: to be here once those rumors start. So it's really
- 12:44Speaker 4: a catch twenty two for a talk show host and
- 12:47Speaker 4: for Jedfish frankly, the predicament that he's in if in
- 12:51Speaker 4: fact that he has nothing to do with the rumors
- 12:54Speaker 4: that he wants to be out at Washington.
- 12:56Speaker 6: Well, you're talking about the effect that it has, the
- 12:59Speaker 6: naked impact it has on recruiting. Is that's real? And
- 13:02Speaker 6: yet I think that most coaches when they first sign,
- 13:06Speaker 6: you know, and they're doing their introduction, you know, a
- 13:08Speaker 6: little press conference, that they are about as excited as
- 13:11Speaker 6: possible about being where it is that they just signed.
- 13:14Speaker 4: And where they're planning on being, and then things can change.
- 13:17Speaker 6: He didn't know that all of these job opportunities were
- 13:21Speaker 6: going to open up, right, I mean, you can assume
- 13:23Speaker 6: there's going to be other colleges that are going to
- 13:27Speaker 6: fire their coach at some point in time. The idea
- 13:30Speaker 6: of loyalty to one program is kind of out the window,
- 13:34Speaker 6: because especially in today's day and age, where we're going
- 13:37Speaker 6: to pay a bunch of money to have this team
- 13:39Speaker 6: and they better be competitive. If you're not, if you
- 13:42Speaker 6: lose a couple of games, you shouldn't you show up
- 13:44Speaker 6: the way they showed up this last weekend. You might
- 13:46Speaker 6: be out on the streets looking for somewhere to.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Go, period.
- 13:49Speaker 6: Not that you're leaving preemptively, You're you might be forced
- 13:53Speaker 6: into having to go somewhere else.
- 13:55Speaker 4: And so I think that.
- 13:56Speaker 6: Loyalty is a word that, while I love the word,
- 14:00Speaker 6: don't think I think goes both ways. I think there's
- 14:02Speaker 6: coaches that are just like, Nope, this is a stepping stone,
- 14:05Speaker 6: or somewhere at some point in time during their tenure
- 14:07Speaker 6: at a place, they're like, boy, if that opens up,
- 14:10Speaker 6: that's where I'd rather go, right, whether it's an alma
- 14:12Speaker 6: mater of theirs or where you know their their mentor coached,
- 14:16Speaker 6: or whatever the case might be. And yet I do
- 14:19Speaker 6: think it's unfair. It's fair, but it's not. It is
- 14:23Speaker 6: kind of unfair from his standpoint.
- 14:25Speaker 4: If it's true, it's unfair, but it's also in play, right,
- 14:30Speaker 4: you know, I mean, your history has to come into
- 14:32Speaker 4: the conversation. And where was the speech when these rumors
- 14:36Speaker 4: were first starting. Where was the standing on top of
- 14:38Speaker 4: the podium and saying this is ridiculous. Where were the
- 14:40Speaker 4: words like ridiculous earlier in the season. Because these rumors
- 14:44Speaker 4: have been out all year long, and part of it
- 14:46Speaker 4: is because of this crazy college coaching world that we've
- 14:50Speaker 4: suddenly entered a phase that a lot of people, including
- 14:53Speaker 4: Rick new ISISAC who loves college football more than anybody,
- 14:56Speaker 4: didn't even see coming. I mean, how could you see
- 14:59Speaker 4: it coming? We were going to have this many coaches
- 15:02Speaker 4: under long term contracts let go because there were boosters
- 15:07Speaker 4: around that were willing to eat monster contracts, or at
- 15:10Speaker 4: least seemed willing to eat. LSU is now trying to
- 15:13Speaker 4: fire Brian Kelly with cause so that they don't have
- 15:17Speaker 4: to pay the fifty four million dollars.
- 15:19Speaker 9: After they tried to offer him like twenty five million,
- 15:22Speaker 9: and just to be like, yeah, there, we'll give you
- 15:23Speaker 9: twenty five how about that?
- 15:25Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, so, look, we're entered this crazy world,
- 15:29Speaker 4: and so he gets lumped into it, and if he
- 15:33Speaker 4: really doesn't have a hand or his agent doesn't have
- 15:36Speaker 4: a hand in poking around at UCLA or Florida and
- 15:40Speaker 4: trying to gauge interest, then it Yeah, then it does
- 15:43Speaker 4: cross over into just how unfair is that to Jed
- 15:46Speaker 4: Fish to have to go through this if he genuinely
- 15:50Speaker 4: wants to be here, because it really would be screwing
- 15:53Speaker 4: up his job and his job duties.
- 15:55Speaker 9: Yeah, well, and I do think that that aspect is
- 15:57Speaker 9: unfair but I also think we can't put too much
- 15:59Speaker 9: stock in to anything a college coach says these days,
- 16:02Speaker 9: because you've got.
- 16:04Speaker 4: She still hurt by day, I am a little bit.
- 16:06Speaker 9: Yeah, but it's true, right, because we're talking about that
- 16:09Speaker 9: he doesn't he's got his family still in Arizona because
- 16:11Speaker 9: his daughter wants to finish high school, which is a
- 16:14Speaker 9: completely valid reason, right. But him moving here isn't going
- 16:17Speaker 9: to mean that he's going to stay here. If he
- 16:19Speaker 9: moves his whole family here, he could say all the
- 16:21Speaker 9: things that Caylin de Boor said, I want my whole
- 16:24Speaker 9: family to be here, like this is where I see
- 16:26Speaker 9: my life. And at the time, I do believe that
- 16:29Speaker 9: was real. I don't think he was just saying it
- 16:31Speaker 9: to say it. Maybe well, well.
- 16:34Speaker 4: The only reason that I remaced is because I think
- 16:37Speaker 4: he was saying it and it was true to him
- 16:39Speaker 4: at the time.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 16:40Speaker 4: But he does have a tendency to move. I mean,
- 16:44Speaker 4: there is a chance here that Jedfish just likes what
- 16:48Speaker 4: Bucky was talking about being the new guy. There's a
- 16:51Speaker 4: lot of excitement that goes with being the new guy,
- 16:55Speaker 4: you know. Oh yeah, I mean it's hard when you're
- 16:58Speaker 4: little to be the kid in school that moves a
- 17:01Speaker 4: lot and you just get sick of. But when you
- 17:03Speaker 4: are the highest paid guy on campus and you are
- 17:07Speaker 4: suddenly thrust into this role of most popular kid in school.
- 17:12Speaker 4: The moment that you arrive on campus because you drive
- 17:15Speaker 4: a motorcycle and you got a tattoo and you're eleven
- 17:18Speaker 4: years old and all the girls think you're cute, I mean,
- 17:21Speaker 4: that's awesome. And maybe Jedfish is addicted to that feeling
- 17:25Speaker 4: of being the new guy on campus that gets to
- 17:27Speaker 4: start from scratch. That's wonderful. I can tell you that
- 17:30Speaker 4: my first day at KJR was a lot more exciting
- 17:34Speaker 4: than today. Fair. Yeah, I mean, I'm glad. I love
- 17:38Speaker 4: the job and I love doing it. I'm glad to
- 17:40Speaker 4: be here talking about it. But there's no way to
- 17:42Speaker 4: compare being the first day of your new job and
- 17:45Speaker 4: the excitement that goes into it, and you get to
- 17:47Speaker 4: start from scratch and everything else and you have pie
- 17:51Speaker 4: in the sky hopes and dreams and aspirations, and so
- 17:54Speaker 4: maybe he's addicted to that. Maybe maybe that's part of
- 17:57Speaker 4: his character.
- 17:58Speaker 9: Maybe he's happy here till he it's offered a job
- 18:00Speaker 9: from somewhere else, and he hasn't been offered the job
- 18:02Speaker 9: from somewhere else.
- 18:03Speaker 3: So he's like, hey, I like it here, I'm good
- 18:06Speaker 3: and justifies.
- 18:06Speaker 4: It in his own mind. I'm being honest.
- 18:09Speaker 3: There right now, Yeah, exactly.
- 18:11Speaker 4: And then well it all goes back to Troy Dan. Yeah.
- 18:14Speaker 4: I mean, because it all falls on you, dubbed too.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Yep.
- 18:17Speaker 4: Why did you hire a guy that jumps around every
- 18:21Speaker 4: two years if you didn't want to deal with the
- 18:23Speaker 4: smoke that goes with coaching openings coming up? And then
- 18:27Speaker 4: and then that goes back to Dan.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:29Speaker 4: So I mean it's a it's a complicated topic, there's
- 18:33Speaker 4: no doubt. I mean, I appreciate that coach Fish stepped
- 18:36Speaker 4: up and said it's ridiculous and pounded the podium for
- 18:40Speaker 4: the first time in this entire process. I don't know
- 18:42Speaker 4: what's going on behind the scenes. I really don't know
- 18:45Speaker 4: how genuine, how honest he's being with it, how true
- 18:48Speaker 4: the rumors are, how thick the smoke is where the
- 18:51Speaker 4: fires might actually exist. But at least he tried. He
- 18:56Speaker 4: did better at trying to shoot them down, trying to
- 19:00Speaker 4: put them out yesterday, and now we'll see. I'm with
- 19:03Speaker 4: you Ashley. I'm I mean, I want to trust him,
- 19:06Speaker 4: but I.
- 19:07Speaker 9: Don't, right, And that's and it's fine. I have no
- 19:09Speaker 9: animosity towards me. If he's gonna go somewhere else, he's
- 19:11Speaker 9: gonna go somewhere else. I think he's saying what he
- 19:13Speaker 9: believes in the moment right now. If another opportunity arises
- 19:16Speaker 9: and he leaves, would I be shocked?
- 19:17Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't either, But I and I wouldn't be
- 19:20Speaker 3: mad either, man. So there you go.
- 19:22Speaker 4: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
- 19:24Speaker 4: rest of the show. What's on TEP?
- 19:29Speaker 1: What's on TEP?
- 19:30Speaker 4: I'm I mean I football. It was kind of pretty ugly.
- 19:34Speaker 4: It wasn't much offense, but it was very interesting. The
- 19:37Speaker 4: entire game was just a battle for inches. Uh Philadelphia
- 19:41Speaker 4: Green Bay. For some reason, both offensive coordinators were completely conservative,
- 19:47Speaker 4: with veteran quarterbacks who've done a thing or two in
- 19:50Speaker 4: this league, and yet nobody could find offense until late.
- 19:55Speaker 4: Final score was ten to seven the Eagles over the
- 19:57Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers. So another week of the new National
- 20:00Speaker 4: Football League season is in the books. But we've already
- 20:03Speaker 4: kind of moved on here in Seattle. I mean, we
- 20:06Speaker 4: win by twenty two all the time these days, so
- 20:09Speaker 4: it's time to focus on the next big one, the
- 20:11Speaker 4: Los Angeles Rams, the biggest test of the season to
- 20:15Speaker 4: this point in Los Angeles, first place on the line,
- 20:19Speaker 4: and so that conversation begins today. Greg Bell will join
- 20:23Speaker 4: us at seven oh five. NFL notes from yesterday, Brian
- 20:26Speaker 4: Dable crazy coaching carousel right he's out as New York
- 20:30Speaker 4: Giants head coach. I heard some very interesting things about
- 20:33Speaker 4: this on the drive in. Hopefully we'll have time to
- 20:36Speaker 4: share it later on in the show. Joe Burrow has
- 20:38Speaker 4: opened up his window to possibly be activated by Thanksgiving.
- 20:43Speaker 4: It sounds like his toe injury was supposed to keep
- 20:46Speaker 4: him out for the entire year, but the progress that
- 20:49Speaker 4: he's shown has Cincinnati thinking he can play before the
- 20:52Speaker 4: end of the season and maybe as soon as Thanksgiving Day.
- 20:56Speaker 4: College football playoff rankings come out tonight, week number two
- 20:59Speaker 4: of that new Isa will join us at nine o'clock.

- 21:26Speaker 4: no surprise. As a matter of fact, he was a
- 21:28Speaker 4: unanimous choice, and that was a little bit of a surprise.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Nick Kurtz of the Athletics was named the American League
- 21:35Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year, and Drake Baldwin beat out Cad
- 21:38Speaker 4: Horton of Chicago. The Atlanta Catcher won the National League

- 21:45Speaker 4: where a Mariner will be in position to win a
- 21:50Speaker 4: major award. Managers of the Year will be announced tonight.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Dan Wilson is a finalist and we will discuss next

- 22:58Speaker 11: is coming up. It's a sixty four yard field goal
- 23:01Speaker 11: and the kick is so wide left it ends up
- 23:03Speaker 11: in Sheboygan and the ball is wide and not even close.
- 23:09Speaker 11: The game is over. Zeros on the clock. A field
- 23:12Speaker 11: sixty four yard field goal by green Bay and the
- 23:16Speaker 11: Eagles have survived.
- 23:25Speaker 4: Kevin Carlin, Kevin Harlan there on the call, He's everywhere,

- 23:37Speaker 4: last night, where we brought you Monday Night football right
- 23:39Speaker 4: here on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Final
- 23:43Speaker 4: score ten to seven on a Monday night, the Philadelphia
- 23:47Speaker 4: Eagles defeat the Green Bay Packers, and so the week
- 23:51Speaker 4: comes to a close. And that's a good thing because
- 23:53Speaker 4: now we can get excited about the week that lies
- 23:55Speaker 4: ahead and the biggest game of the year, the Seahawks
- 23:58Speaker 4: taking on the Rams this Sunday in Los Angeles for
- 24:02Speaker 4: first place in the NFC West. We'll talk all about
- 24:05Speaker 4: it with Greg Bell, who will join us in a
- 24:07Speaker 4: matter of moments, but first let's rip through your frost
- 24:09Speaker 4: brewed cors Light chill headlines here on this Tuesday. College
- 24:15Speaker 4: football rankings come out tonight. It's the second version of them.
- 24:19Speaker 4: There will be some changes that are going to take place.
- 24:22Speaker 4: We'll go through all of that for you at seven
- 24:24Speaker 4: point thirty here this morning. You double be taking on
- 24:28Speaker 4: Purdue this week, and with the Jedfish cloud hanging over
- 24:33Speaker 4: the program at this point. Yesterday, taken to task at
- 24:37Speaker 4: at press conference for whether or not he does want
- 24:40Speaker 4: to be here, he was, excuse me, rather adamant, and
- 24:45Speaker 4: maybe the most adamant he's been about this entire topic yesterday,
- 24:50Speaker 4: assuring people, or attempting to assure people, that he absolutely
- 24:53Speaker 4: wants to be here and is here for the long term.
- 24:55Speaker 4: We'll talk to coach new Eiel about it a little
- 24:57Speaker 4: bit later on in the show. College Basketball, it'sww excuse me,
- 25:02Speaker 4: ub wazoo Apple Cup Hardwood Week. If that's just way
- 25:07Speaker 4: too much to say, I don't even think I should
- 25:09Speaker 4: say it. Frankly, it's gonna be Friday Night crack and
- 25:12Speaker 4: taking on Columbus tonight at seven o'clock. And the American
- 25:15Speaker 4: League Rookies of the Year were Nick Kurtz of the Athletics,
- 25:19Speaker 4: Drake Baldwin of the Braves. Today tonight we'll find out
- 25:23Speaker 4: the Managers of the Year. Dan Wilson a finalist there.
- 25:27Speaker 4: So we'll certainly talk about a little bit later on
- 25:30Speaker 4: in the show. But right now, let's welcome in our
- 25:32Speaker 4: Seahawks insider Greg Bail.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.
- 25:35Speaker 13: Yeah, Happy Veterans Day to all of my brothers and
- 25:39Speaker 13: sisters and arms and our country appreciates you.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 25:42Speaker 4: Tuesday. How about our Veterans Days normally on Mondays? Am
- 25:47Speaker 4: I missing this or does it flow during the course
- 25:50Speaker 4: of the.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Week now, I think it's always been on a Tuesday.
- 25:54Speaker 4: It's always on a Tuesday, Okay.
- 25:56Speaker 13: I think, okay, maybe wrong about that.
- 25:58Speaker 4: Yeah, how old is the Army?
- 26:02Speaker 1: The Army?
- 26:02Speaker 6: Yeah, eighteez, make you do math.
- 26:07Speaker 13: At seven am, West Point was eighteen oh two, so
- 26:12Speaker 13: the Army was before that.
- 26:15Speaker 6: I was just wondering because I know yesterday was the
- 26:17Speaker 6: two hundred and fiftieth birthday for the Marines. I sent
- 26:20Speaker 6: my brother in law that was a marine or is
- 26:22Speaker 6: a marine? The thanks type of a text message or whatever,
- 26:27Speaker 6: and so I just wonder because I figured the Army
- 26:29Speaker 6: was the oldest.
- 26:30Speaker 13: Yeah, the Army is the oldest, and the Marines copied
- 26:33Speaker 13: off the Army, so that you've heard my joke many times.
- 26:39Speaker 13: You've heard my marine joke many times. Marines are Navy
- 26:42Speaker 13: guys who flunked out of the.
- 26:43Speaker 4: Army, by the way, I was wondering, and then we'll
- 26:48Speaker 4: get into the seahawks.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Was one of my jar heads out there? I'm sorry.
- 26:52Speaker 1: I love my jar heads. Don't send any nasty text.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Was there any part of you that ever roots for Navy, Like,
- 26:58Speaker 4: were you rooting for name the over Notre Dame this Saturday?
- 27:02Speaker 4: Just curious?
- 27:04Speaker 1: I was rooting for a competitively. I don't like Notre Dame.
- 27:07Speaker 1: I can't stand her name personally.
- 27:09Speaker 13: But honestly, no the last time.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Yeah, the last time I heard for Navy was against Iraq.
- 27:17Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, I think we won and covered. I'm
- 27:20Speaker 4: pretty sure. Yeah. All right, Well let's get into this
- 27:25Speaker 4: Seahawks Rams week this week, and yeah, as much as
- 27:29Speaker 4: we have to still talk about from this past Sunday,
- 27:33Speaker 4: it's hard not to think about the biggest game of
- 27:35Speaker 4: the year so far coming up on Sunday afternoon.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Yeah, they turned the page pretty quickly. Yesterday.
- 27:42Speaker 13: They didn't break down the Rams because they had just
- 27:46Speaker 13: gotten out of film and they were doing their food trucks.
- 27:48Speaker 13: Mike McDonald has this deal where they win on Sunday,
- 27:51Speaker 13: they get food trucks come out the facility on Monday.
- 27:55Speaker 13: And I jokingly asked them, so if they lose, they
- 27:56Speaker 13: go hungry in here.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Yeah, they lose, they go.
- 28:00Speaker 13: But what's interesting is Matt Stafford is just lighting it
- 28:05Speaker 13: up right. He's an MVP candidate, maybe the favorite to
- 28:08Speaker 13: win the MVP right now, and they've been just boat
- 28:11Speaker 13: racing everybody. I think it's four wins in a row
- 28:13Speaker 13: by fourteen and more points. Yet this game features the
- 28:17Speaker 13: two teams that are allowing the fewest points in the
- 28:20Speaker 13: NFC right now and are two of the best four
- 28:23Speaker 13: best point allowed defenses in the league. So while Stafford
- 28:31Speaker 13: and Darnold are getting all the attention, defenses are why
- 28:35Speaker 13: these two teams are combined fourteen and four right now.
- 28:38Speaker 13: That pretends it's going to be a low scoring game.
- 28:40Speaker 13: But it's just interesting to me that Sean McVay, for
- 28:45Speaker 13: all the acumen he has offensively and the kudos he
- 28:48Speaker 13: gets there being a genius offensively, when the Rams of
- 28:52Speaker 13: the best and they're really humming, it's their defense. Ernest
- 28:55Speaker 13: Jones was part of that defense that won the Super
- 28:57Speaker 13: Bowl for the Rams in twenty twenty one. When they
- 29:00Speaker 13: go far, it's because of their defense. They remained their
- 29:03Speaker 13: defense on the fly, and they had Barbie Wayding to
- 29:06Speaker 13: go through there for a year, and they had the
- 29:09Speaker 13: greatest defensive tackle maybe an NFL history, retire on them,
- 29:13Speaker 13: and they just keep reloading on the fly. They went
- 29:16Speaker 13: a couple of years without even top draft picks because
- 29:18Speaker 13: the trades, and yet here they are really didn't dip
- 29:21Speaker 13: much at all. Was one drive away from a snowstorm
- 29:24Speaker 13: in Philadelphia last year from beating the eventual Super Bowl
- 29:26Speaker 13: champions in the playoffs. But I would not overlook the
- 29:30Speaker 13: defensive matchup and what the Rams present defensively, it's usually
- 29:33Speaker 13: an attacking, blitzing, shore tackling, stopped to run defense.
- 29:37Speaker 4: In that, I'm with you.
- 29:39Speaker 6: I mean, I know that the headline is McVeigh versus McDonald,
- 29:44Speaker 6: which would presume mcveigh's offensive mind in his offense versus
- 29:48Speaker 6: the Seahawks defense. And yet I do think the other
- 29:51Speaker 6: side of that coin is going to be interesting as well.
- 29:55Speaker 6: It's interesting you're talking about how they turned the page
- 29:57Speaker 6: and it's they had food truck Day or whatever. I
- 30:00Speaker 6: saw something yesterday and I think it was Leonard Williams
- 30:02Speaker 6: that was talking about how win or lose coaches just
- 30:06Speaker 6: basically getting them all right back to the process, all right,
- 30:08Speaker 6: back to the process, which is a great leadership tool,
- 30:11Speaker 6: I think, to get guys understanding that whatever happened in
- 30:14Speaker 6: the past, the outcome is where it is and now
- 30:17Speaker 6: it's back to getting heading towards the direct in the
- 30:19Speaker 6: direction of getting better. So what is it that you're
- 30:21Speaker 6: seeing now a year and a half into this thing
- 30:25Speaker 6: about the culture that you like or maybe something that
- 30:27Speaker 6: you don't like.
- 30:30Speaker 13: I really like how Mike McDonald relates to his players.
- 30:33Speaker 13: Bucky you're right about it is a leadership thing to
- 30:36Speaker 13: talk about the process over the results. The NFL football
- 30:40Speaker 13: in general, is more conducive to that than say your
- 30:43Speaker 13: sport baseball, because you know they're playing baseball every day,
- 30:46Speaker 13: one hundred and sixty two games a year. The results
- 30:49Speaker 13: take precedence because there is the process is the result.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Every day is a result.
- 30:55Speaker 13: In the NFL, the results come on every seven days mostly,
- 30:58Speaker 13: and so there are six days between games to focus
- 31:01Speaker 13: on that process. Not to mention that in baseball training
- 31:05Speaker 13: camp is what are essentially spring training six weeks, and
- 31:09Speaker 13: in football the practices start in April and go all
- 31:12Speaker 13: the way to the end of August. So the process
- 31:15Speaker 13: takes precedence in football because of the calendar, and so
- 31:19Speaker 13: coaches have a ton of time to instill the process
- 31:22Speaker 13: and do instill the way they want to train, and
- 31:24Speaker 13: training becomes more important than performance because training the gats performance.
- 31:30Speaker 13: What's impressed me most personally about McDonald as a first
- 31:34Speaker 13: time head coach the buy in he's gotten from his
- 31:37Speaker 13: players and.
- 31:38Speaker 1: The methods he's using. He really does have a carrot
- 31:42Speaker 1: and stick approach.
- 31:43Speaker 13: There are times that he is really hard on them
- 31:46Speaker 13: and just unyielding, both verbally and demanding physically in the
- 31:52Speaker 13: physicality of the practices, and not so much during the season.
- 31:56Speaker 13: They don't have many rules that allow them to do that,
- 31:58Speaker 13: but especially during training camp. Yet he does little things
- 32:02Speaker 13: like the food trucks are just a silly example, But
- 32:07Speaker 13: what was really telling to me was the bye week.
- 32:10Speaker 13: Almost every NFL team, Now Pete Carroll was one of
- 32:13Speaker 13: the first to do this fifteen years ago, but almost
- 32:15Speaker 13: every NFL team takes the entire week by week off winner.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Lose the previous game, right, but almost.
- 32:22Speaker 13: Every team comes back from their game on Sunday, come
- 32:26Speaker 13: back Sunday, they play game on Sunday, and they come
- 32:28Speaker 13: back Monday and they do film, they do training, and
- 32:32Speaker 13: then they let him go Monday night to be off till.
- 32:33Speaker 1: The following Monday morning.
- 32:35Speaker 13: Mike McDonald, it was a very small thing, but Mike
- 32:37Speaker 13: McDonald told him in the locker room after they beat
- 32:40Speaker 13: Houston the week the game right before the.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Bye see you, I'll see you in eight days. Don't
- 32:44Speaker 1: even come in tomorrow. We're not doing film.
- 32:47Speaker 13: That's a little thing, but that's unexpected one and two,
- 32:51Speaker 13: they loved it.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Unexpectedly.
- 32:53Speaker 13: He's taken him to Fort Lewis Well Joint, what Base
- 32:55Speaker 13: Lewis McCord it's called now to train with the Army Rangers.
- 32:58Speaker 13: Just threw him on a bus and said, we're not
- 33:00Speaker 13: practicing today. We're going down to Lewis McCord and we're going.
- 33:03Speaker 1: To go meet with the Army Rangers with fire saws and.
- 33:07Speaker 13: Artillery weapons and Stubb a good old time meeting the military.
- 33:10Speaker 13: He brings special Forces guys in, He's brought Navy seals in,
- 33:14Speaker 13: He's brought special operations units from our civilian law enforcement
- 33:19Speaker 13: into practices. He doesn't like us to publicize that. A
- 33:24Speaker 13: lot of it is because there's operational security of people
- 33:27Speaker 13: that are coming in and don't want to be recognized.
- 33:30Speaker 13: But he does a lot of military things. He's the
- 33:33Speaker 13: son of a West Point graduate, I've said, and he
- 33:36Speaker 13: has a lot.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Of military influence.
- 33:39Speaker 13: The stuff he says, if you're walking, you're wrong, and
- 33:43Speaker 13: the commander's intent a.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Tip of the spear.
- 33:47Speaker 13: Things I heard every day in my army life. I
- 33:49Speaker 13: hear out on the Seahawks practice field from Mike McDonald's
- 33:52Speaker 13: and he's twenty something. Guys are really buying into it. Couse,
- 33:54Speaker 13: winning helps, but even before they started winning. At the
- 33:58Speaker 13: beginning of the last season, they were brought.
- 33:59Speaker 4: In Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks insider. You
- 34:01Speaker 4: can follow him at g bel Seattle on x and
- 34:04Speaker 4: of course the Newstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage.
- 34:08Speaker 4: And we have, of course a major injury coming out
- 34:12Speaker 4: of this game on Sunday. So how long is Jalen
- 34:15Speaker 4: Sundell going to be out? And then secondarily is olu
- 34:18Speaker 4: Ola with Timmy ready to step in in the biggest
- 34:21Speaker 4: game of the year, Well, it could be a month.
- 34:25Speaker 13: McDonald mentioned that they are considering injured reserve for Sundell
- 34:29Speaker 13: with the knee injury he got in the first half
- 34:30Speaker 13: against Arizona, And of course if you go on injury reserve,
- 34:33Speaker 13: you have to miss four weeks. If he goes on
- 34:35Speaker 13: injury reserve this week, the first time he could play
- 34:36Speaker 13: would be December fourteenth against the Colts, the home game
- 34:39Speaker 13: they have. Then olu with Timmy came in and then
- 34:43Speaker 13: the first snap he had a snap infraction on what
- 34:45Speaker 13: was supposed to be a short yard He's push push
- 34:48Speaker 13: type of play with Barner was he picked the ball
- 34:50Speaker 13: up before he snapped it. That's a five yard penalty,
- 34:52Speaker 13: they went from the one yard line to the sixth.
- 34:55Speaker 13: Fortunately for the Seahawks, Ax Sharbonne ran right behind Oval
- 34:58Speaker 13: with Timmy in the next play. We saw Ola Timmy
- 35:01Speaker 13: fumble the snap. On the next drive, his third snap
- 35:04Speaker 13: mishandled snap with Sam Donald that cost him a turnover
- 35:07Speaker 13: and handed the Cardinals their first touchdown. But it bears
- 35:11Speaker 13: mentioning that on Zach Sarbone's six yard touchdown run after
- 35:14Speaker 13: the snap infraction by Olio Timmy, Ola Timmy spun and
- 35:17Speaker 13: buried the nose tackle put him on the ground on
- 35:20Speaker 13: a pancake block, and that's why Sharbonne ran into the
- 35:23Speaker 13: end zone for the touchdown. He ran right over him,
- 35:26Speaker 13: so it wasn't as if it was just a mess
- 35:28Speaker 13: for Olo Timmy. But in the center position, as we know,
- 35:32Speaker 13: if you don't get the snap of the quarterback, doesn't
- 35:34Speaker 13: matter what else you do.
- 35:35Speaker 1: You have to get the snap to the quarterback.
- 35:38Speaker 13: And Donald chocked it up and McDonald chucked it up
- 35:40Speaker 13: to not having a lot of reps at the center exchange.
- 35:44Speaker 13: Donald did say they tried as much as they could
- 35:46Speaker 13: once Sundale got hurt, of course, on the side to
- 35:48Speaker 13: try to Tabe some practice snaps, but suffice to say
- 35:51Speaker 13: he'll take a lot more snaps from old Timmy this
- 35:53Speaker 13: week than he did the first nine weeks combined.
- 35:56Speaker 6: Uh, Pritchett did well in his time when he was
- 36:01Speaker 6: filling in for Job. Do you have any idea about
- 36:03Speaker 6: Job's status and does it matter necessarily considering how well
- 36:08Speaker 6: he played, No.
- 36:09Speaker 1: It matters.
- 36:10Speaker 13: Josh Job is great, He's great on the ball, and
- 36:12Speaker 13: he's a sure tackler. Nami Pritchett was the sixth defensive
- 36:16Speaker 13: backend dime, so he wasn't starting and getting the reps
- 36:19Speaker 13: that Josh Job would get if he comes back. Job
- 36:21Speaker 13: is still in the protocol, the concussion protocol, so that's
- 36:24Speaker 13: going to probably be the end of the week type
- 36:26Speaker 13: of thing. It'll go the way it went with Breke
- 36:29Speaker 13: Wollan when Woman had a concussion to missed the game.
- 36:32Speaker 13: He brought him back to practice in the middle of
- 36:34Speaker 13: the following week, tried to bring him back a second
- 36:36Speaker 13: consecutive day. It didn't go well. He fell behind in
- 36:39Speaker 13: the protocol, didn't have the baseline the test results closer
- 36:43Speaker 13: to his baseline like he was supposed to, and he
- 36:44Speaker 13: didn't play the following week. So that'll be Job's week
- 36:47Speaker 13: to see if he can get on the field and
- 36:49Speaker 13: then what his cognitive tests looked like compared to his
- 36:52Speaker 13: baseline test after he comes back to practice. Pritchett made
- 36:56Speaker 13: what McDonald said yesterday was one of the most amazing
- 36:58Speaker 13: plays on a ball. He's seen it cornerback ever and
- 37:01Speaker 13: on that end zone one and he was falling down.
- 37:05Speaker 13: The receiver had it and was right below me in
- 37:07Speaker 13: the press box. I thought it was a touchdown, but Joe,
- 37:10Speaker 13: while falling down, reached back and ripped the ball out
- 37:13Speaker 13: while they were both splayed on the ground, and that
- 37:16Speaker 13: play kept it from being a two score game with
- 37:18Speaker 13: about six minutes left. I mean, it was a blowout,
- 37:21Speaker 13: but it would have been a two score game if
- 37:23Speaker 13: Pritchett hadn't done that.
- 37:24Speaker 1: So he's there any more.
- 37:26Speaker 4: Time, Oh yeah, yeah, phenomenal play. Phenomenal play from Pritchett.
- 37:31Speaker 4: Day on Sunday Onion.
- 37:33Speaker 13: If they're going to go excuse me, I asked if
- 37:35Speaker 13: they were going to go more dying because of Pritchett,
- 37:37Speaker 13: and he goes, yeah, it makes me think we should.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Do more dime.
- 37:40Speaker 13: When Pritchett's playing like this, McDonald has not been a
- 37:43Speaker 13: dime coach for most of his career here so far,
- 37:45Speaker 13: the first two seasons. But if Pritchett's playing like this,
- 37:48Speaker 13: you could see more. I think dyme would be more.
- 37:51Speaker 13: He'd be easier to do more dime if Ernest Jones
- 37:53Speaker 13: is on the field as the low linebackers Saturday someday.
- 37:56Speaker 4: All right, last minute here, just curious. I mean another
- 37:59Speaker 4: coach I've fired yesterday in the National Football League. How
- 38:03Speaker 4: far away are we from Clint Kubiak rumors going to
- 38:07Speaker 4: considering the success that he's having with this offense this year.
- 38:11Speaker 13: Yeah, I thought about that yesterday, Chuck, and I thought
- 38:13Speaker 13: it would be premature for me to ask McDonald about
- 38:16Speaker 13: Kubiak and the possibility of teams coming to interview him.
- 38:20Speaker 13: I will say this that, yes, if an offense has
- 38:24Speaker 13: success like this, that they get attention and the coordinator
- 38:27Speaker 13: to play caller gets attention for it, especially unexpected, somewhat
- 38:31Speaker 13: unexpected around the league that the Seahawks are having. I'll
- 38:33Speaker 13: also say this, Clint Kubiak is a great, great, meticulous
- 38:38Speaker 13: eaches guy and in the weeds and comfortable in that realm.
- 38:44Speaker 1: He's not very dynamic.
- 38:46Speaker 13: I don't know how and that's just not just with us.
- 38:49Speaker 1: But I asked players as.
- 38:51Speaker 13: He joked, as he laughed, and ye a little bit.
- 38:55Speaker 13: But this may be fullhearty me say, because I'm not
- 39:00Speaker 13: inside the meetings and whatnot. He doesn't strike me as
- 39:03Speaker 13: head coach material at this point. His career is what
- 39:05Speaker 13: I'm trying to say. He's really good at what he does, leading,
- 39:10Speaker 13: being a CEO of a team, being the front man, motivating,
- 39:14Speaker 13: standing up on a pedestal in the middle of the
- 39:16Speaker 13: locker room, were rawing them, we're cracking the whip, and
- 39:18Speaker 13: he had I don't I haven't been around him a ton,
- 39:21Speaker 13: but I.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Don't see that.
- 39:22Speaker 13: He certainly has a pedigree and having been around football
- 39:25Speaker 13: his entire life because his dad was a quarterback in
- 39:28Speaker 13: the Broncos and then a coach for the Super Bowl Broncos.
- 39:30Speaker 13: But I don't see it yet. His name's gonna get flowed.
- 39:35Speaker 13: It probably already has been floated around in New York.
- 39:37Speaker 13: Of course, they're gonna float every name of any coach
- 39:39Speaker 13: who ever had a whistle after how sad the Giants
- 39:41Speaker 13: have been the last few years. Well, my honest, gut opinion,
- 39:45Speaker 13: without really having scientific evidence, is that he's not head
- 39:48Speaker 13: coach material at this point.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Well he'll get yeah, he'll get mentioned.
- 39:52Speaker 4: Thank you, Sarah, We appreciate it. We will talk to
- 39:54Speaker 4: you tomorrow.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. Thank you, all right.

- 40:45Speaker 4: ninety three point three KHRFM.
- 40:47Speaker 5: It's time for Checking Buck's weekly visit with former NFL
- 40:50Speaker 5: official Jeene sterotur brought to you by BMWCL.
- 40:55Speaker 4: Looking for a new or used.
- 40:56Speaker 5: BMW or something else even, come check us out. BMWCL
- 41:01Speaker 5: conveniently located between I five and I ninety near the
- 41:04Speaker 5: stadiums now with Geene's sterotor.
- 41:07Speaker 4: Here's Chucking buck Tom right now, our ads has thrown
- 41:10Speaker 4: off my big plan. I was going to just have
- 41:12Speaker 4: a BMW with a big red bow on it sitting
- 41:14Speaker 4: outside Jean's house for Christmas this year. Ash, I didn't
- 41:18Speaker 4: think you wanted. I wanted to be a secret. I
- 41:21Speaker 4: was going to try to keep that a secret. Now
- 41:23Speaker 4: it's out, so Gene acts surprised.
- 41:27Speaker 2: I'll pretend that I'm shutting my eyes. I'm closing my ears.
- 41:30Speaker 8: Right now, Chuck, I have no idea what you're talking about.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Good morning, good morning everybody.
- 41:39Speaker 4: Great to have you with us. I want to bring
- 41:40Speaker 4: up something that we were just talking about, like a
- 41:43Speaker 4: couple of gambling scandals recently. And I know that we
- 41:45Speaker 4: h I didn't warn you that where I was going
- 41:47Speaker 4: to bring this up, but I just want I would
- 41:50Speaker 4: imagine getting having gotten to know Gene's sterotor. There is
- 41:53Speaker 4: nothing in the world that that would bother you more
- 41:57Speaker 4: than just anyone, even a rowdy fan, suggesting that you
- 42:02Speaker 4: weren't acting with integrity on the field with your calls
- 42:07Speaker 4: and that you were on the take. How much does
- 42:10Speaker 4: it bother you to hear that, not just about yourself,
- 42:13Speaker 4: but about all of your fellow officials. Is there anything
- 42:18Speaker 4: in the world that bothers you more than that accusation?
- 42:22Speaker 2: No, probably not to be really serious about it, Chuck,
- 42:25Speaker 2: You know, I mean, unfortunately, there have been situations. There
- 42:30Speaker 2: was a very large one with an official actually in
- 42:33Speaker 2: the NBA while I was actively officiating in the NFL.
- 42:38Speaker 2: You know it is it is exactly what you just said. Yeah,
- 42:41Speaker 2: I do love these games. I'd love doing what I did.
- 42:44Speaker 2: I love the passion of sports. The integrity of the
- 42:47Speaker 2: game is really what I love the most. And that's why,
- 42:51Speaker 2: you know, I volunteered to assume the roles that I
- 42:54Speaker 2: was fortunate enough to have, because officiating is that projection
- 42:59Speaker 2: of integrity and keeping the game there that and then
- 43:02Speaker 2: when we have these blips and these human weaknesses or
- 43:05Speaker 2: whatever these situations.
- 43:07Speaker 8: Create, now where.
- 43:09Speaker 2: The conspiracy theorists have a precedent to say, see, I
- 43:13Speaker 2: told you so, the game suffers, and if it's a player,
- 43:17Speaker 2: if it's an official, if it's a coach, it really
- 43:20Speaker 2: doesn't matter, right, I mean, once those spots take place,
- 43:24Speaker 2: you've fueled the beast to say all of these crazy
- 43:27Speaker 2: things that are said because of a couple of bad apples, right,
- 43:32Speaker 2: and and they're they're serious. And look at the officiating
- 43:35Speaker 2: world NCAA. When I worked in college basketball, we had
- 43:38Speaker 2: a you know, a very large segment of our regional
- 43:41Speaker 2: clinic was about gambling, was about being approached or who
- 43:45Speaker 2: to speak to or what you think, maybe just a
- 43:48Speaker 2: normal conversation about, Hey, I saw you were at such
- 43:50Speaker 2: and such place last night and so and so it
- 43:52Speaker 2: looked like he was limping a little bit, did you
- 43:54Speaker 2: you know that? You know, you would think that would
- 43:57Speaker 2: be kind of normal airport, right, Wait, waiting for a
- 43:59Speaker 2: player conversation, It's not right. So you do live in
- 44:03Speaker 2: that world and you have to be aware of it.
- 44:07Speaker 2: And the National Football League, naturally is very adamant about
- 44:11Speaker 2: all of those.
- 44:11Speaker 8: Types of things.
- 44:12Speaker 2: When I actively officiated in the NFL, you were not
- 44:14Speaker 2: permitted in a casino period, full stop. That's it, and
- 44:17Speaker 2: never in a sports book emon in the off season.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Because of that, and you wear that as a badge
- 44:22Speaker 2: of honors. So, yes, it hurts. It hurts the games,
- 44:25Speaker 2: It hurts all of what we do. And you know, Chuck,
- 44:27Speaker 2: I do listen to you guys, not just on Tuesdays, you.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Know, but but but.
- 44:31Speaker 8: Through the week. And what you had just said earlier
- 44:33Speaker 8: was right.
- 44:35Speaker 2: The prop betting is it seems to me would be
- 44:39Speaker 2: more inviting, right to that person that may not want
- 44:42Speaker 2: to throw a game, you know, because of his feel
- 44:45Speaker 2: for the team and all of those other things. But
- 44:48Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Hey, what if I just
- 44:50Speaker 2: throw ball.
- 44:50Speaker 8: Three or ball one here? I can make that back up.
- 44:53Speaker 8: It's not a big deal.
- 44:54Speaker 2: So it's opened up a window to maybe convince yourself
- 44:59Speaker 2: that I'm really not infecting the integrity of the game. Yeah,
- 45:02Speaker 2: I'm just playing with it a little bit. But I
- 45:04Speaker 2: can overcome that, you know. And I think we're in
- 45:06Speaker 2: a in a very delicate spot as a result of it.
- 45:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I just don't like the idea that
- 45:11Speaker 4: you've got a buddy that at some point in the
- 45:13Speaker 4: middle of the game, I'll blow two free throws. I'll
- 45:17Speaker 4: give you a wink when you've got the bed ind
- 45:20Speaker 4: you'll put your hat in your lap. I mean that
- 45:23Speaker 4: just is too dangerous. And you're right. I mean maybe
- 45:26Speaker 4: that's another element that you brought up that if you
- 45:31Speaker 4: think that I won't throw this from my teammates, but
- 45:34Speaker 4: no one will notice if I just make a little
- 45:36Speaker 4: money on the side. I think that's a phenomenal point.
- 45:39Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's get into some of the things
- 45:41Speaker 4: that happened over the weekend. We had a couple of
- 45:43Speaker 4: things in the Seahawks games that you were actually on
- 45:46Speaker 4: the broadcast for. So enjoyed hearing you on our Seahawks
- 45:50Speaker 4: broadcast this past weekend against the Cardinals. Sorry, not sorry,
- 45:55Speaker 4: we didn't give you a more competitive game to monitor
- 45:58Speaker 4: their gene.
- 46:00Speaker 8: You know, though, it's good fun watching the team, guys.
- 46:03Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, man, the team is
- 46:06Speaker 2: really a good, solid football team. And I know what
- 46:09Speaker 2: the energy of the stadium brings when you're in that stadium,
- 46:13Speaker 2: and what the fan base really does do. And I
- 46:15Speaker 2: do think there's a couple points there here or there,
- 46:17Speaker 2: not for any gambling purposes, but just because of the
- 46:20Speaker 2: magnitude of the twelfth person and watching how they're executed,
- 46:24Speaker 2: how they're playing is a special thing, you know, And
- 46:27Speaker 2: you're up weeks every one, so it's a long season.
- 46:29Speaker 8: But what a great football team.
- 46:31Speaker 4: Yeah, well they were back to back. They weren't back
- 46:34Speaker 4: to back plays, but we had twin plays that resulted
- 46:38Speaker 4: in a sack, fumble, touchdown. Tyresee Knight got both the
- 46:43Speaker 4: sacks and force fumbles. DeMarcus Lawrence got both the fumble
- 46:46Speaker 4: returns and the touchdowns. Number one, have you ever seen
- 46:49Speaker 4: that you ever seen two plays that similar from a
- 46:52Speaker 4: defense in a game? And then number two, you were
- 46:55Speaker 4: on the call. How close were either one of those
- 46:58Speaker 4: from being overturned?
- 47:00Speaker 8: Close?
- 47:01Speaker 2: And I think those plays and I do think replay,
- 47:04Speaker 2: And again I can harken back because I am that
- 47:06Speaker 2: long in the tooth when we did not have replay,
- 47:09Speaker 2: so when you were on the field, you were the
- 47:11Speaker 2: only person going to rule whether.
- 47:13Speaker 8: The player was down or whether it was a fumble.
- 47:15Speaker 2: And we used to have the phrase like you have
- 47:16Speaker 2: to sell the call right because it was so.
- 47:18Speaker 8: Close and you wanted to get it right.
- 47:21Speaker 2: And I do think that replay has allowed those plays
- 47:25Speaker 2: or officials to feel comfortable that, my gosh, that's just
- 47:28Speaker 2: so close.
- 47:29Speaker 8: Just let it play right. And then we do look
- 47:31Speaker 8: and yeah, they're close plays.
- 47:33Speaker 2: They're really framed by frame plays about possession or loss
- 47:36Speaker 2: of and down by contact you and we're leading those
- 47:40Speaker 2: plays alone. Sometimes we leave someones that are a little
- 47:43Speaker 2: too easy to kind of stop and we don't. But
- 47:46Speaker 2: I do think replays helped that. And to answer the
- 47:49Speaker 2: first part of it, I have never seen one player
- 47:52Speaker 2: create the fumble the other scoop and score and then
- 47:55Speaker 2: to have it repeated. And you know, the chat GPT
- 47:58Speaker 2: I think is even confused out of the question because
- 48:01Speaker 2: I was we were talking about it in the studio like,
- 48:03Speaker 2: I don't I don't recall that ever happening, you know,
- 48:06Speaker 2: So a couple of one offs there, which is kind
- 48:09Speaker 2: of fun.
- 48:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 48:12Speaker 6: Well, there was another thing in the Seattle game where
- 48:15Speaker 6: Jackson Smith and Jagbo was concussed and and he had
- 48:18Speaker 6: came out and yet hadn't gone through like the concussion protocol,
- 48:22Speaker 6: and the game was stopped and then all of a
- 48:24Speaker 6: sudden he tried to go back in there, like, no,
- 48:25Speaker 6: you got to go through the protocol. What is there
- 48:27Speaker 6: something is that on you guys, or is there a
- 48:29Speaker 6: specific concussion guy on the sidelines. How are you guys
- 48:33Speaker 6: supposed to make sure they go through whatever it is
- 48:35Speaker 6: they're supposed to follow through with.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Well, there's multiple layers, bucket. It's a great question. If
- 48:41Speaker 2: my memory serves me correctly. I do believe that one
- 48:43Speaker 2: of the players after the initial play there was a stoppage,
- 48:47Speaker 2: if I remember correctly, they took a defensive player out
- 48:51Speaker 2: for that, and I believe that those people. So, just
- 48:54Speaker 2: to give you a little background, yes, officials are asked
- 48:57Speaker 2: that if they see or they see something or look
- 49:00Speaker 2: in a player's helmet after a hit. A lot of
- 49:02Speaker 2: times it may not be the hit. It maybe the
- 49:04Speaker 2: head hitting off the turf, but if the proximity of
- 49:07Speaker 2: you being there, and you know, I'm not a doctor,
- 49:09Speaker 2: but if you feel like that player looks woozy or
- 49:13Speaker 2: just is stumbling something of that effect, something that would
- 49:16Speaker 2: be rather noticeable, right, and you're there to stop the game,
- 49:19Speaker 2: and he's going to be removed and checked, and in
- 49:22Speaker 2: this case, the defensive back that is stopped. They have
- 49:26Speaker 2: what they call an ATC spotter. I forget what the
- 49:30Speaker 2: letters are forgive me for that right at the moment,
- 49:33Speaker 2: but there is an individual in the stadium upstairs, rewinding
- 49:36Speaker 2: the players, looking at the plays, looking on the field
- 49:39Speaker 2: and if they happen to see something like that head
- 49:42Speaker 2: hit in a delayed reaction or a player stumbling after
- 49:45Speaker 2: that that wasn't caught, they wired downright to the officials
- 49:49Speaker 2: on the field, immediately stop the game. Stop the game,
- 49:51Speaker 2: they'll identify the player, and then that players removed.
- 49:55Speaker 8: I know that happened with the defensive back.
- 49:57Speaker 2: The Smith and Jibbet situation is, I don't know that
- 49:59Speaker 2: he played the next play, but then he came back
- 50:02Speaker 2: onto the field if I recall correctly, And then I
- 50:05Speaker 2: think the ATC spot recognized he was back on the field,
- 50:08Speaker 2: and it may have been them and looking at the
- 50:11Speaker 2: first player, the defensive player situation that they also were
- 50:15Speaker 2: looking at that play and thought, looks like Smith and
- 50:17Speaker 2: Jigger got a pretty good hit there as well. And
- 50:21Speaker 2: again I am speculating here, but I'm assuming that's what
- 50:24Speaker 2: may have occurred. And then and they stopped it and
- 50:27Speaker 2: asked him to take a walk into the tent and
- 50:28Speaker 2: go through the protocol as well.
- 50:30Speaker 4: Yeah, does the ATC, which I think is alcohol, tobacco
- 50:34Speaker 4: and concussions agents, they do they follow? Well, did they
- 50:41Speaker 4: follow JSN up and down the sin of since that
- 50:43Speaker 4: is their job? Do they make sure, they go through
- 50:46Speaker 4: the protocol and they oh no, no, no, no, that's
- 50:49Speaker 4: not thorough enough, and then they alert the official is
- 50:51Speaker 4: that they also monitor them once they're off the field,
- 50:54Speaker 4: I guess is the question?
- 50:56Speaker 2: Well, I think in this case, duck, he kind of
- 50:58Speaker 2: removed himself right strategy wise, or it was just a
- 51:01Speaker 2: substitution that took place after a big play. I don't
- 51:05Speaker 2: know that he was examined at that point. I know
- 51:07Speaker 2: he wasn't officially examined because he had not entered that tent.
- 51:10Speaker 8: And then had that private moment with.
- 51:12Speaker 2: The doctor's trainers or whomever is inside there. So my
- 51:15Speaker 2: assumption isn't And really maybe they were looking at the
- 51:19Speaker 2: sideline and seeing him on that sideline and then tying
- 51:23Speaker 2: that I don't know whatever he was doing over there
- 51:25Speaker 2: with that play, and felt like, you know what, we're
- 51:29Speaker 2: always airing on the side of safety when it comes
- 51:31Speaker 2: to these rightly, so, so that may have been going
- 51:35Speaker 2: through their mind or maybe part of the observation prior
- 51:37Speaker 2: to stopping him.
- 51:38Speaker 4: Jeane's Territorius with Us a segment that brought to you
- 51:41Speaker 4: by BMW Seattle every single week. Let's talk about taunting.
- 51:46Speaker 4: Were you a two pump guy, did you subscribe? I
- 51:52Speaker 4: don't know if you know the connection with Rico Daudell
- 51:55Speaker 4: and the key and Peel Skip, but it's popped up
- 51:58Speaker 4: in the National Football and that officials only allow one
- 52:04Speaker 4: pump with the hips. Were you a one pump or
- 52:08Speaker 4: a two pump official?
- 52:10Speaker 2: Well, Chuck, I mean again, I'll plug myself in Paramount
- 52:14Speaker 2: Plus and CBS and everybody right now. But we have
- 52:17Speaker 2: a show now that streams on Paramount Plus and YouTube TV,
- 52:22Speaker 2: NFL Pregame or NFL Today Pregame, Paramount Plus. It's a
- 52:26Speaker 2: great show with Matt Ryan, Amanda, Cayl Long, Antonio Pierce.
- 52:33Speaker 8: They do a great show.
- 52:34Speaker 2: And I actually went on the show this week because
- 52:36Speaker 2: it is a streaming show, Pregamer on ten a m Eastern,
- 52:39Speaker 2: and we talked about the pumpgate, yeah, and what is
- 52:43Speaker 2: allowed and look, I had full transparency and if those
- 52:47Speaker 2: want to pick on, we need to clicks on the streams.
- 52:50Speaker 8: So I'm plugging. But we went back into the history.
- 52:53Speaker 10: Of what could have been the beginnings of this and
- 52:55Speaker 10: believe it about Aaron Rodgers pulled a like a little
- 52:58Speaker 10: mini which would be the key in Peel third pump
- 53:01Speaker 10: kind of movement if you've watched the skit in twenty twenty,
- 53:05Speaker 10: and then we had a digs that pulled it off
- 53:07Speaker 10: I think in week eight, which.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Kind of caught like, oh is that what is that one?
- 53:12Speaker 2: And then we have moved forward as you you know,
- 53:15Speaker 2: so aptly described.
- 53:17Speaker 8: And now we had to choreograph.
- 53:18Speaker 2: Fool key and peel skin and I thought it was
- 53:20Speaker 2: great when they interviewed the player and he really thought
- 53:23Speaker 2: the key and Peels ruling was like the NFL ruling,
- 53:27Speaker 2: like oh no, no, you're allowed to you know, just
- 53:30Speaker 2: not three.
- 53:30Speaker 14: So yeah, but it does, you know, go back to
- 53:33Speaker 14: the no fun leg It falls in the sexual gester
- 53:36Speaker 14: category and.
- 53:38Speaker 2: We can't even.
- 53:38Speaker 8: Have a pump here. Guys don't even have money.
- 53:41Speaker 2: But you're not allowed any pumping at all.
- 53:43Speaker 14: And look when you got an older guy with a
- 53:45Speaker 14: bad back that if he had the pump three times
- 53:47Speaker 14: like that, what I don't know if I can get
- 53:49Speaker 14: three in and two if I had to throw my
- 53:52Speaker 14: back out, I got to call something on you.
- 53:54Speaker 2: And I'm jealous, you know, so, But yeah, I thought
- 53:57Speaker 2: it was enjoyable to watch.
- 54:00Speaker 4: Do you think they're do you think right now?
- 54:02Speaker 6: I know that they created a you know, the idea of, hey,
- 54:05Speaker 6: let's kind of get some of the taunting out of it.
- 54:07Speaker 6: You know, there's there's a you'll see it a bount
- 54:10Speaker 6: once a week. It feels like somebody will do something
- 54:12Speaker 6: in a flaggerstone. Do you feel like it's working. They're
- 54:15Speaker 6: trying to get some of the taunting and increase the sportsmanship.
- 54:19Speaker 2: It is buck and it's of an evolving scenario because
- 54:23Speaker 2: the generations just continue to get more creative, and you know,
- 54:27Speaker 2: like it or not, there's generational gaps. Some things that
- 54:30Speaker 2: are hot and new in the twenty year old world
- 54:33Speaker 2: a fifty five year old person may not be aware of, right,
- 54:36Speaker 2: but no, there's there's a constant movement through that, and
- 54:39Speaker 2: it's the dance that we don't want to be the
- 54:41Speaker 2: no fundle. There is entertainment now more with this. They
- 54:44Speaker 2: have become more flexible than when I started. But then
- 54:47Speaker 2: then there's also a platform and the respect of not
- 54:50Speaker 2: of all the viewers and the demographics of the viewers
- 54:53Speaker 2: that are watching. So sexual gestures, weapon things, brandishing, all
- 54:57Speaker 2: these things that have come about with this creativity of
- 54:59Speaker 2: the players and and what's hot and new in their
- 55:02Speaker 2: in their world, you've got to constantly evolve with that
- 55:06Speaker 2: and try to work in that balance where yes, this
- 55:09Speaker 2: is entertaining, but no, this is not a message we
- 55:12Speaker 2: want to send to the next generation.
- 55:14Speaker 4: Uh so it is.
- 55:15Speaker 2: It is NonStop evolving, right, And I think this is
- 55:18Speaker 2: a good case of that. This is a real good
- 55:20Speaker 2: example of that.
- 55:21Speaker 4: Why why was Bradley Chubb flagged? I mean it made
- 55:25Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins fans pretty angry in the Bills game. That
- 55:28Speaker 4: didn't look very harmful at all. He was just kind
- 55:32Speaker 4: of walking away from a guy that he sacked and
- 55:35Speaker 4: did a little silly dance and got flagged. Was that
- 55:38Speaker 4: taking it too far? Or was that, in your opinion
- 55:42Speaker 4: aggressive on Chubb's part.
- 55:44Speaker 2: I think that's where we get into, you know, everything's
- 55:47Speaker 2: not black and white, and what subjectivity is and what
- 55:50Speaker 2: did you interpret by the crawling over top of the
- 55:54Speaker 2: individual after the tackle and the proximity body parts stored
- 55:58Speaker 2: another body part? And I think that's what I'm assuming
- 56:02Speaker 2: that that's what they that's what they interpreted there. Yeah,
- 56:06Speaker 2: And I think in the book it does say by
- 56:08Speaker 2: the letter of the law, after taking a player down,
- 56:10Speaker 2: you roll off of them, because they don't want the
- 56:12Speaker 2: players standing over top of the opponents things of that nature.
- 56:17Speaker 8: To me, Yeah, it happens quick.
- 56:19Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of players that go into the
- 56:21Speaker 2: commander crawl right after they make a big hit without
- 56:24Speaker 2: bodies underneath of him. They flagged it. And I think,
- 56:28Speaker 2: if I'm really, you know, refing that game and I
- 56:30Speaker 2: see it, it happen so quickly, I may have a quick
- 56:33Speaker 2: conversation with the individual and knows and preface it with
- 56:37Speaker 2: I know you didn't mean to do that or have
- 56:39Speaker 2: it look like that, but it could have looked like that,
- 56:41Speaker 2: So let's try to stay away from that move. But
- 56:44Speaker 2: that's my guess again, and I you know, some of
- 56:46Speaker 2: that speculation.
- 56:47Speaker 4: You know what, I think I saw an edited version
- 56:50Speaker 4: somebody that tried to control the narrative because it looked
- 56:53Speaker 4: to me I only saw the part where he was
- 56:55Speaker 4: sort of dancing away from him. I didn't even see
- 56:57Speaker 4: the part where he was crawling over the top of him.
- 57:00Speaker 4: So yeah, now it makes a little more sense. It
- 57:02Speaker 4: probably just was a delayed flag in that situation. You
- 57:05Speaker 4: weren't happening to be on the Seahawks Super Bowl when
- 57:09Speaker 4: Doug Baldwin did his silly thing in thee.
- 57:14Speaker 2: No, I missed that one was I was not part
- 57:18Speaker 2: of that. I was part of some of Marshawn's looks
- 57:21Speaker 2: of adjusting himself as he got to the one yard
- 57:24Speaker 2: line and would turn back to look.
- 57:25Speaker 8: At the field though.
- 57:26Speaker 2: So that was another creative play that started to happen, right,
- 57:30Speaker 2: I mean if we look back.
- 57:31Speaker 4: In history, so yeah, how did you I don't recall
- 57:34Speaker 4: how you handled that? How did you handle that?
- 57:37Speaker 1: Uh?
- 57:38Speaker 8: What's a fifteen young flag? Unsports?
- 57:40Speaker 4: And I think that seems appropriate.
- 57:46Speaker 2: Probably a truckle very commercial because you're a human. You know,
- 57:50Speaker 2: you don't have to be you know, this old crotchety
- 57:53Speaker 2: guy all the time. I mean, it's a foul. And
- 57:55Speaker 2: then maybe we laughed when the cameras are.
- 58:00Speaker 4: All right, Well, great stuff today. Thanks for zigging and
- 58:03Speaker 4: zagging with me through these topics today. Appreciate you, and
- 58:07Speaker 4: we'll do it again next week.
- 58:09Speaker 2: Thanks guys, have a great week, all right.

- 58:23Speaker 4: BMW or something else, even go check out BMW Seattle
- 58:27Speaker 4: conveniently located between I five and I ninety near the stadium.
- 58:32Speaker 4: Appreciate Gene. He even was able to roll with us
- 58:36Speaker 4: on the Hinkle mccrinkleberry two pumps. I think Michael Bennett
- 58:40Speaker 4: brought that back for a little while there as well,
- 58:42Speaker 4: and he was doing that celebration dance after his sacks,
- 58:46Speaker 4: and I think he got flagged for it, if I
- 58:49Speaker 4: remember correctly. But I didn't realize no pumps was the rule.
- 58:52Speaker 4: You can't do one pump, forget the two pumps. It's
- 58:55Speaker 4: zero pump.
- 58:56Speaker 6: They let them do like quarter pumps, maybe even half pumps,
- 59:00Speaker 6: quarter pumps maybe like uh well, no, don't don't do it.
- 59:05Speaker 1: No.
- 59:05Speaker 4: Dalle was funny because he didn't pump at all. So
- 59:08Speaker 4: we gathered everybody around and he did the Hinkle mccrinkleberry
- 59:12Speaker 4: stance in the in the end zone. Everybody was looking
- 59:14Speaker 4: at him, and then he just ran off the field.
- 59:18Speaker 4: All right, Everett fits, you will join us here on
- 59:21Speaker 4: the other side. That's worthy. You know, a couple couple
- 59:24Speaker 4: pumps right there. Pump so we'll talk to the voice

- 1:00:02Speaker 4: I want to let you know, if you're the tenth

- 1:00:15Speaker 4: play November twenty sixth against the Dallas Stars. Joining us. Now,
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: the man that made that call, Everett fits you, is
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: with us. How unbelievable was that finish?
- 1:00:26Speaker 15: You know what I think? For where that game started
- 1:00:29Speaker 15: to where that game ended. I mean, typically after a
- 1:00:33Speaker 15: game like that, you're you start like that, You're hoping.
- 1:00:37Speaker 15: I hope they can hold on, Excuse me, I hope
- 1:00:39Speaker 15: they can find some kind of solace. But for them,
- 1:00:42Speaker 15: the battle back in the way that they did. That
- 1:00:45Speaker 15: was a hard fought earned win. I mean, they they
- 1:00:50Speaker 15: put they put a couple of really bad mistakes behind them.
- 1:00:54Speaker 15: From that second period. They got back to their game,
- 1:00:57Speaker 15: they got back to what made him successful, and they
- 1:01:01Speaker 15: were able to eat out two points.
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: You've never called a goal with point five seconds left
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: in regulation.
- 1:01:08Speaker 15: I honestly, I can honestly say, I'm pretty confident. I
- 1:01:12Speaker 15: don't think I have. I've called a game with five
- 1:01:15Speaker 15: seconds left. I've called a game, you know, obviously in
- 1:01:18Speaker 15: the final minute, but with point five seconds, yeah, left
- 1:01:23Speaker 15: on the clock.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was unbelievable.
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: Their last second shots in basketball. But then again, there's
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: not a guy standing in front of the goal. I mean,
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: there are walkoff homers in baseball, but there's no clock.
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: I mean, for the only thing better if it had
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: been tied and he did that, it was a walk off,
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: skate off goal, yeah, with point five seconds. But that's
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: insane to get that in there.
- 1:01:49Speaker 15: I will say when I was in college, one of
- 1:01:51Speaker 15: my only ever basketball games that broadcast that I forget
- 1:01:56Speaker 15: who Bowling Green was playing, but I had a buzzer
- 1:02:00Speaker 15: eater and it sounded like Gus Johnson at the Indiana
- 1:02:05Speaker 15: Penn State game.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Over the weekend.
- 1:02:07Speaker 8: You know, oh, I was, I was a falsetto.
- 1:02:11Speaker 15: I was screaming. I was a nineteen year old sophomore
- 1:02:16Speaker 15: losing my ever loving mind. I have no idea what
- 1:02:18Speaker 15: I even said.
- 1:02:20Speaker 13: That.
- 1:02:21Speaker 15: That's probably about it. My my best Gus Johnson when
- 1:02:25Speaker 15: I was and I was in college. That's as close
- 1:02:28Speaker 15: as I've ever come.
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: Unfortunately, Fit they couldn't follow that up the next night
- 1:02:32Speaker 6: when they when they went to Dallas, and and yet
- 1:02:35Speaker 6: it's still good game, competitive game. To me, it feels
- 1:02:38Speaker 6: like they're better. I don't know what the win loss
- 1:02:41Speaker 6: record is on h you know, back to back nights.
- 1:02:45Speaker 6: I know that last year, in the last couple of years,
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: they haven't had a very good record when it comes out,
- 1:02:49Speaker 6: but they look like they're more competitive even if they're playing,
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: you know, the night after they had just played.
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: Are you seeing the same thing or no?
- 1:02:56Speaker 15: Yeah, we don't talk about the record. Bucky in the
- 1:02:58Speaker 15: end game two is of back to we we're gonna
- 1:03:01Speaker 15: talk record itself. No, it's it's been a while, but
- 1:03:05Speaker 15: I will say and al avert we're talking about this.
- 1:03:09Speaker 15: That was that was definitely the best effort, the best
- 1:03:14Speaker 15: game in game two of back to back that we've
- 1:03:18Speaker 15: seen in over a year. And and honestly, I think
- 1:03:23Speaker 15: Casey the Smith for Dallas, he just was on fire,
- 1:03:27Speaker 15: their goaltender, and the Kraken had every opportunity to score
- 1:03:31Speaker 15: goals in that game. They had thirty plus shots on goal.
- 1:03:33Speaker 15: They did everything right, but they ran into a hot goalie.
- 1:03:36Speaker 15: The effort was there, the compete level was there. You
- 1:03:40Speaker 15: didn't sense from the Seattle from both teams. Actually, because
- 1:03:44Speaker 15: Dallas also played on Saturday, you didn't sense any of
- 1:03:48Speaker 15: the fatigue that you might get in game two of
- 1:03:52Speaker 15: the back to back. Al even going so far as
- 1:03:54Speaker 15: to say, and I agree with him that it was
- 1:03:57Speaker 15: it had a very playoff like feel to it.
- 1:03:59Speaker 8: So you're right.
- 1:04:01Speaker 15: I mean, this team has gotten much better in those situations.
- 1:04:04Speaker 15: This is only the second back to back this season.
- 1:04:08Speaker 15: They're gonna have eleven more, so they're gonna have plenty
- 1:04:10Speaker 15: more chances to get to get it. But for the record,
- 1:04:15Speaker 15: the Kraken are now oh and fourteen in their last
- 1:04:21Speaker 15: in game twos of back to back since last season,
- 1:04:24Speaker 15: so the record obviously is not good. But last night
- 1:04:29Speaker 15: was hands down, bar none. The best game two back
- 1:04:34Speaker 15: to back effort that we've seen in a year plus
- 1:04:37Speaker 15: for Seattle.
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: The Voice Eric fits You is with us every Tuesday
- 1:04:41Speaker 4: at this time to talk some krack and hockey. The
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: team back in action tonight at home against the Columbus
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: Blue Jackets, coming off a couple memorable games over the weekend.
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: But Joey Decord placed on the IR. What I mean
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: and the NHL IR works a little different than others
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: people's eye are, so maybe explain the rules and just
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: how serious this is for the team's goalie.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: So we haven't.
- 1:05:08Speaker 15: We haven't gotten official word on Joey yet. Yes, when
- 1:05:12Speaker 15: you place when you place someone on IR, that means
- 1:05:16Speaker 15: they are out for at least four games. So it
- 1:05:18Speaker 15: sounds like he's eligible to return on Saturday. Now, we
- 1:05:24Speaker 15: don't know how severe the issue is. All that we
- 1:05:28Speaker 15: know is that he did not travel with the crack
- 1:05:31Speaker 15: into Saint Louis and Dallas. He's being evaluated for an
- 1:05:34Speaker 15: upper body injury. We're hoping to find out more morning.
- 1:05:38Speaker 15: Skate will be here about an hour and a half
- 1:05:40Speaker 15: or so and attentive teed, so we're hoping for an
- 1:05:44Speaker 15: update by then. If not, then before the game tonight. Hey,
- 1:05:48Speaker 15: you never know, right, things could be things could be great.
- 1:05:52Speaker 15: He could be out for the next two nights and
- 1:05:54Speaker 15: then and then we'll see him back this weekend. But
- 1:05:56Speaker 15: we've got nothing official yet. I will say that Matt
- 1:05:59Speaker 15: murmur and Pip Grubauer, I thought they they did a
- 1:06:04Speaker 15: very very good job in in coming in winning games
- 1:06:10Speaker 15: on Saturday for Grubauer and then keeping the Kraken in
- 1:06:14Speaker 15: the game the entire night for Murray on Sunday. And
- 1:06:16Speaker 15: for two goalies who have not played in two and
- 1:06:18Speaker 15: a half weeks, they've come in and relief. This is
- 1:06:22Speaker 15: their first true start since, you know, games four and
- 1:06:28Speaker 15: six of the season. So I think for Seattle, they
- 1:06:33Speaker 15: they've got two goalies who are capable of winning in
- 1:06:36Speaker 15: this league. We've seen it before. We all seen what
- 1:06:38Speaker 15: Grubauer can do. Matt Murray's won a couple of Cups.
- 1:06:41Speaker 15: He's trying to get back to a level that that
- 1:06:43Speaker 15: he was in his past career. He came in this
- 1:06:45Speaker 15: offseason in preseason and said this is the best that
- 1:06:48Speaker 15: he's felt in ten years. So you know, I know
- 1:06:51Speaker 15: the team is confident in both goalies that have you're
- 1:06:54Speaker 15: hoping for good news on Joey the court, but when
- 1:06:57Speaker 15: when you see ir he's at least gone for four
- 1:07:00Speaker 15: so that means he's out tonight, He's out on Thursday,
- 1:07:03Speaker 15: and then hopefully we see him back on Saturday.
- 1:07:07Speaker 8: But we've got no official work yet.
- 1:07:09Speaker 6: All Right, who's the what do we got to look
- 1:07:12Speaker 6: forward to to night against the Blue Jackets? I mean,
- 1:07:13Speaker 6: who's the guy that I need to be cheering against
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: or watching out for while and watching?
- 1:07:18Speaker 15: I mean, Carill Martenko is a superstar that I don't
- 1:07:23Speaker 15: think a lot of folks give credit for because he
- 1:07:26Speaker 15: plays in Columbus. You know, he has all the tools
- 1:07:31Speaker 15: and all the intangibles of a great goal scorer, a
- 1:07:34Speaker 15: great playmaker in this league. He's on an eight game
- 1:07:38Speaker 15: point streak. He's got points in all but two games
- 1:07:40Speaker 15: this season for Columbus. They are coming off of a
- 1:07:44Speaker 15: very emotional overtime loss in Edmonton last night. They had
- 1:07:49Speaker 15: a four to two lead in the third and then
- 1:07:53Speaker 15: they ended up losing five to four on the road
- 1:07:56Speaker 15: last night in Edmonton. So they're coming in in game
- 1:07:59Speaker 15: two their back to back. Their number one goalie, Elvis
- 1:08:02Speaker 15: burs Linkins, is going to play tonight, so they saved
- 1:08:05Speaker 15: him for the second go back to back, So it's
- 1:08:10Speaker 15: not going to be easy. I think the Kraken though
- 1:08:12Speaker 15: they they've had Columbus's number. They've won five of their
- 1:08:15Speaker 15: last six, but their last meeting in Columbus last year
- 1:08:18Speaker 15: they lost six too.
- 1:08:19Speaker 8: So a lot of a lot of.
- 1:08:23Speaker 15: I think defensive structure is going to have to be
- 1:08:26Speaker 15: applied here tonight again because Columbus is a team that
- 1:08:29Speaker 15: likes to push the pace.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: They like to rush up the ice, take a little
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: bit loose.
- 1:08:34Speaker 15: A lot like San Jose, but they don't have I
- 1:08:36Speaker 15: think the same amount of skill and as San Jose has.
- 1:08:40Speaker 15: But this is going to be another game where the
- 1:08:42Speaker 15: kracking cannot afford to sit back defensively and get into
- 1:08:47Speaker 15: a track meet.
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: By the way, you handled the call perfectly, having never
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: been there before. That was an outstanding call. I didn't
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: mention that when we play. Thank you, yeah, perfect, perfect,
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Yeah yeah. All right, So well
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: tonight Columbus seven o'clock puck drops and Mike Betton on
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: the airwaves at six thirty. I'm assuming and we're ready
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: to go and get this thing back on the right track.
- 1:09:10Speaker 8: Correct, Yes, we are three game homestands starts tonight.
- 1:09:14Speaker 15: We got Columbus tonight, Winnipeg on Thursday, another crack at
- 1:09:19Speaker 15: the San Jose Sharks on Saturday, and then they're out of.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Town for the next week.
- 1:09:24Speaker 15: They go out east for Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh and the
- 1:09:28Speaker 15: New York Islanders next week. So three big games here
- 1:09:30Speaker 15: at home, and right now they're cracking, are sitting, you know, comfortably.
- 1:09:34Speaker 15: I shouldn't say comfortably. They're in a playoff spot. Yes,
- 1:09:37Speaker 15: it's only game sixteen, but I said this the other day,
- 1:09:40Speaker 15: and you're getting to a point now in the NHL
- 1:09:44Speaker 15: over the next four to five weeks that teams who
- 1:09:47Speaker 15: aren't in playoffs bots are going to have to start
- 1:09:49Speaker 15: going on these five, six, seven game runs. And if
- 1:09:53Speaker 15: you're like Seattle, if you can continue taking four of
- 1:09:56Speaker 15: every six points, if you can continue winning three out
- 1:09:59Speaker 15: of every five games, I think you're still gonna be
- 1:10:02Speaker 15: in a spot where you're competing, you know, for playoffs
- 1:10:05Speaker 15: and for seedings. So this next two weeks before Thanksgiving
- 1:10:09Speaker 15: are gonna be big for Seattle. Some good teams, some
- 1:10:12Speaker 15: decent travel as well.
- 1:10:14Speaker 8: So I mean it's it's it's a pretty big stretch
- 1:10:16Speaker 8: coming up.
- 1:10:17Speaker 7: For the cracking.
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: Yeah, holy parody. I mean what, You're in a division
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: of what eight teams and seven of them are five
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: hundred are better Columbus there? Yeah, go ahead.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: I was just like they drew it up.
- 1:10:28Speaker 15: Who saw the Anaheim Ducks on a seven game winning
- 1:10:31Speaker 15: streak leading the division second place in the NHL? Right,
- 1:10:34Speaker 15: the Edmonton Oilers. They do this every single year where
- 1:10:37Speaker 15: they get off to a very slow start. They then
- 1:10:40Speaker 15: go on a ten, eleven, twelve game run and get
- 1:10:43Speaker 15: right back into it. But you're right, I mean you
- 1:10:45Speaker 15: got in the Pacific Division. Of the eight teams, seven
- 1:10:50Speaker 15: of them are within a point or two of the playoffs.
- 1:10:53Speaker 15: So this is this is the parody that I love
- 1:10:56Speaker 15: as a fan, as a broadcaster. It's nerve wracking because
- 1:10:59Speaker 15: you love to you know, beat up in the playoffs.
- 1:11:03Speaker 15: You know, you look at a lot of other sports
- 1:11:06Speaker 15: where these teams jump out to multi game leads and
- 1:11:09Speaker 15: then they hold on to it.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: But not this year.
- 1:11:11Speaker 15: It's every game of the battle and needs to be
- 1:11:14Speaker 15: needs to be won, especially this season.
- 1:11:16Speaker 4: You the man, Thank you sir. We'll talk to you
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: next week, all right, fellas, Ashley, have a good one
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: ever fits you? The boys of you are Seattle, cracking
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: right here on the flagship Sports Radio ninety three point
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: three kJ r FM. Again Puck drops at seven o'clock tonight,
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: cracking at home at Climate Pledge Arena, taking on the
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: Columbus Blue Jackets. Coming up next. Jed Fish is adamant.
- 1:11:37Speaker 4: He was yesterday that he's not going anywhere. Do you
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: believe him? Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. It's
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: time to talk all things college football.
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: It's just like the menu at Taco Time. You just
- 1:11:49Speaker 7: can't get enough, You just can't get nothing.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: This is our weekly visit with Rick Neuheisel, brought to
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: you buy Taco.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Time, not those new high thols.
- 1:11:57Speaker 7: Used to be a moniker of mine.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: I mean, just so you know.
- 1:11:59Speaker 5: Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's na
- 1:12:03Speaker 5: Joe's new heel on Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: kJ r FM.
- 1:12:08Speaker 7: This is college football and I want you to get
- 1:12:11Speaker 7: it all over yourself.
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: Oh, it's a wonderful time in the week. Here on
- 1:12:15Speaker 4: Chuck and Buck our opportunity to talk college football. Former
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: you Dub, a head coach and one of the faces
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: of the coverage of college football on Seaberros Rick new
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: Isel is with us right here on Chuck and Buckome morning,
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: sirp Okay, gotten very shy since last Yeah he's not
- 1:12:33Speaker 4: usually shy. Yeah yeah, usually it's somebody.
- 1:12:36Speaker 6: Maybe he's just more soft spoken today.
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: I didn't like. You can't hear him.
- 1:12:40Speaker 15: I didn't hear anything at all.
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have to speak up a little bit, coach,
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: So we'll say we work on that connection. I am
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: excited to hear from coach on a number of topics,
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: including the ones that we're wrestling with here in Seattle.
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: So we'll effort on trying to get a better connection
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: here with a coach new heel and get them all
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: the show for you. But yes, a lot of different
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: ground to cover. We just played the Jedfish audio from
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: his press conference and he's trying to sell that he
- 1:13:12Speaker 4: wants to be here. We've already kind of covered the
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: fact that it's unfortunate if that's not the case, or
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: if it is the case that he wants to be
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: here and yet he keeps getting dragged down. But I
- 1:13:23Speaker 4: guess that goes with I mean, you you didn't sort
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: of earn the reputation of jumping around a lot and
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: so we'll see how it goes from here. I think
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: we've got coach new isasa again. Coach you there, I
- 1:13:35Speaker 4: am here.
- 1:13:35Speaker 7: I'm sorry. All of a sudden, I was getting ready
- 1:13:38Speaker 7: to say how is everybody, and whammo, you were gone wow.
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: But you know, sometimes it goes like that. Ask the
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: poor Huskies in Wisconsin.
- 1:13:48Speaker 8: It didn't know well, but.
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: Hey, they get to a tone. Here comes Purdue and
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: then UCLA and then the Ducks. What better way to
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: finish a year with the threesome right there? So see
- 1:14:04Speaker 7: if they can do it.
- 1:14:05Speaker 4: But to spend two weeks talking about the path is
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: there to make the playoff? I don't know if anybody
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: was going as far as predicting it around these yer parts,
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: but certainly we discussed the path being there, and then
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: for the door to get slammed like it did in Madison,
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: Wisconsin Saturday. I mean, how crushing is that to the
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: program to lose that football game.
- 1:14:29Speaker 7: That's a tough one because, like you said, the games
- 1:14:32Speaker 7: they remember are played in November and have a chance
- 1:14:36Speaker 7: to play for the big prizes and really have an
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: excellent opportunity to do so so. But it's time to
- 1:14:46Speaker 7: dust yourself off pick yourself up and see if you
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: can't play your best football down the stretch. A ten
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: win season is still out there, and regardless of what
- 1:14:55Speaker 7: it means for postseason, a ten win season is a
- 1:14:59Speaker 7: hallmark that people pay attention to.
- 1:15:02Speaker 4: I mean, what is the re How does something like that?
- 1:15:05Speaker 6: I mean the defense, I think to some degree did
- 1:15:07Speaker 6: their part. They still gave up thirteen, but not I
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: mean it was a good it's the offense. I mean,
- 1:15:12Speaker 6: I was a step back from thinking this was the
- 1:15:15Speaker 6: best offense, their most explosive offense in college football, when
- 1:15:19Speaker 6: even when they were ranked there after a few games
- 1:15:21Speaker 6: end of the year. But they do have an explosive quarterback,
- 1:15:24Speaker 6: running back and a wide receiver too, and yet to
- 1:15:28Speaker 6: go out there and do what they did in Madison
- 1:15:32Speaker 6: was unexpected, to say the least.
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think Jedwars go as far as say unacceptable. Right,
- 1:15:40Speaker 7: you have to now, this is a quality defense. Luke
- 1:15:44Speaker 7: Pickle's always going to have a good defense. They just
- 1:15:49Speaker 7: can't throw them. They just can't muster much in the
- 1:15:53Speaker 7: way of offense. And that was the case the other night.
- 1:15:55Speaker 7: They only had two hundred and five yards of offense.
- 1:15:58Speaker 7: So you have to manage this game differently. You have
- 1:16:01Speaker 7: to play knowing that this is going to be a
- 1:16:03Speaker 7: low scoring game, and you have to make sure that
- 1:16:07Speaker 7: you understand the value of possession and field position. Time
- 1:16:12Speaker 7: of possession is important. The Huskies only had the ball
- 1:16:16Speaker 7: twenty eight minutes and thirty eight seconds. In that kind
- 1:16:19Speaker 7: of game, you have to understand, we're going to make
- 1:16:22Speaker 7: you go the long field. The fake punt was a
- 1:16:24Speaker 7: monumental play. You can't let them have that opportunity. Those
- 1:16:29Speaker 7: are the things that you just have to you have to.
- 1:16:32Speaker 7: It's like Oregon when they went to Iowa. Oregon knew
- 1:16:36Speaker 7: that they would have to play Iowa football in that
- 1:16:39Speaker 7: kind of environment, and they were able to do it
- 1:16:42Speaker 7: and came away with a victory eighteen to sixteen. That
- 1:16:46Speaker 7: isn't exactly the Star Wars version of Oregon football that
- 1:16:52Speaker 7: we've come to know and love. This was ground and pound,
- 1:16:55Speaker 7: and the Huskies, for whatever reason, didn't adapt like that.
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: I know Luke Fickle's not had a great year there
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: in Madison, but I'll give him this. That guy is
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: impervious to weather conditions. He didn't look like he was
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: affected at all. I saw Mike Holgren's mustache freeze over
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: one time in a game in Wisconsin, and yet he
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: just like took he took the brunt of the storm
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: and acted like he was on the beach in Hawaii.
- 1:17:19Speaker 8: That was.
- 1:17:21Speaker 7: He's an old nose guard. He doesn't look like he
- 1:17:24Speaker 7: was a nose guard, but he was a three hundred
- 1:17:26Speaker 7: and ten pound nose guard wow for the New Orleans Saints.
- 1:17:29Speaker 7: So that guy is rugged, no question about it.
- 1:17:32Speaker 4: He's on the Ed Cunningham diet. Remember Ed Cunningham the
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: first time I saw him after his playing days.
- 1:17:37Speaker 13: I do, well.
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: I want to talk about Washington a little bit. I mean,
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: we had a big story here, a lot of rumors,
- 1:17:45Speaker 4: a lot of smoke, a lot of coaching vacancies, and
- 1:17:48Speaker 4: we happen to have a head coach that hops around
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: a lot. And Jed fish Well, yesterday at the podium,
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: he was his most adamant that he wasn't going anywhere.
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: I feel bad for him if that's not true, because
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: I do believe that it is affecting the program and
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: maybe his locker room as well. But on the other hand,
- 1:18:06Speaker 4: I mean, he did sort of earn his reputation as
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: moving around a lot, and I guess that goes with
- 1:18:11Speaker 4: the territory. What's your take on the entire situation.
- 1:18:16Speaker 7: I only know what my conversations have been with Jed.
- 1:18:20Speaker 7: I haven't talked to him during the season, but I
- 1:18:21Speaker 7: certainly talked to him in the preseason, having gotten to
- 1:18:24Speaker 7: go over there and watch the guy's practice. He loves Washington,
- 1:18:28Speaker 7: he loves it.
- 1:18:28Speaker 13: Now.
- 1:18:29Speaker 7: I know there's a big story out there about his
- 1:18:31Speaker 7: family not being in Seattle. I know his daughter wanted
- 1:18:34Speaker 7: to finish school in Tucson, and so they're back in
- 1:18:37Speaker 7: Tucson letting her have this high school year there. And
- 1:18:43Speaker 7: I can totally understand that. I hope folks can understand
- 1:18:47Speaker 7: it as well. But his belief in the Husky program
- 1:18:52Speaker 7: was sincere when he talked about it to me. I
- 1:18:55Speaker 7: also understand that his alma mater is open. You know,
- 1:18:58Speaker 7: the alma mater alama on deal, right, So as soon
- 1:19:01Speaker 7: as your alma mater is open, everything's you're going there.
- 1:19:05Speaker 7: And if you're at your alma mater, everybody wants you
- 1:19:08Speaker 7: to stay there because you might be getting like clerk
- 1:19:10Speaker 7: Lee at Vanderbilt, right, you've got to So there's all
- 1:19:14Speaker 7: this kind of tension about it. But I believe that
- 1:19:18Speaker 7: Jet is happy. That doesn't mean I know that Jet
- 1:19:20Speaker 7: is staying, but I do know that Jet is happy
- 1:19:22Speaker 7: in Seattle.
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: Yeah, how the idea of I mean, I think you
- 1:19:28Speaker 6: dub is a legitimate, you know, college program, and a
- 1:19:33Speaker 6: lot of people would love to have this job and
- 1:19:36Speaker 6: stick with this job. I also think that it was
- 1:19:38Speaker 6: somewhat understandable.
- 1:19:39Speaker 7: And Bucky, he's getting paid legitimate college money, right, He's
- 1:19:44Speaker 7: getting paid seven and a half million bucks. That's the
- 1:19:46Speaker 7: hell of a deal.
- 1:19:47Speaker 6: Yeah, and yeah, I mean I I it was understandable
- 1:19:50Speaker 6: to me when Kaitlyn de Bor has the opportunity to
- 1:19:51Speaker 6: go to Alabama, because that's just a different beast, right,
- 1:19:54Speaker 6: And maybe there's a few other that are in that program.
- 1:19:56Speaker 6: And yet if there's a second tier of blue bloods,
- 1:19:59Speaker 6: I think you us in there. Where do you think
- 1:20:01Speaker 6: you dubbed stacks up? I mean, because I think that
- 1:20:04Speaker 6: everybody over there would hate for nothing more than to
- 1:20:08Speaker 6: be considered a stepping stone to some bigger program.
- 1:20:12Speaker 7: I had a really good job at Colorado and maybe
- 1:20:17Speaker 7: the top one or two recruiting class going. And when
- 1:20:21Speaker 7: I came to Washington and talked to Barbara Hedges back
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: then and thought about what I knew about Washington, having
- 1:20:28Speaker 7: played against him at uc from my vantage point at
- 1:20:31Speaker 7: UCLA and having seen that crowd and knowing what Don
- 1:20:35Speaker 7: James was able to build there. Washington's a premier job,
- 1:20:40Speaker 7: a premier job, and because the fans are premier fans,
- 1:20:45Speaker 7: they get behind the program. And I believe that Jed
- 1:20:49Speaker 7: understands that the only job that I think he would consider,
- 1:20:54Speaker 7: he's not going to consider UCLA. He might use it
- 1:20:57Speaker 7: for leverage, but the only job he would consider it
- 1:21:00Speaker 7: would be the Florida job because it's his alma mater.
- 1:21:03Speaker 7: That would be the only one. And I'm not sure
- 1:21:05Speaker 7: that they have any other name than Lane Kippen on
- 1:21:08Speaker 7: their list right now.
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: So.
- 1:21:11Speaker 7: I wouldn't worry. I just know that how I felt
- 1:21:14Speaker 7: about Washington, it is premiere.
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: And then summer Rick.
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: New Isolda is with us. So we got a lot
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: of other ground to cover here on this Tuesday. But
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: one more question about the dogs. Do we have to
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: worry about two and eight perdue? Based on the way
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: that the team Playeds last.
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: Saturday, they're pesky, but I think that there's enough pride
- 1:21:34Speaker 7: in the Husky locker room and I would guess that
- 1:21:37Speaker 7: there's enough pride in the Husky locker room, especially on
- 1:21:40Speaker 7: the offensive side, to atone for what was not a
- 1:21:43Speaker 7: good enough performance last week. And I would expect that
- 1:21:46Speaker 7: they'd come out and play their tails off. And by
- 1:21:49Speaker 7: the way, on the subject of the Husky game, my
- 1:21:52Speaker 7: team from two thousand, the Rose Bowl champions, are going
- 1:21:56Speaker 7: to get honored this weekend and I, unfortunately I'm not
- 1:22:01Speaker 7: going to be able to be there, but I want
- 1:22:03Speaker 7: to give a shout out to the two thousand Rose
- 1:22:06Speaker 7: Bowl champs and all the kids that I had the
- 1:22:09Speaker 7: great privilege to coach, and the coaches that will be there.
- 1:22:12Speaker 7: I just want you guys to know I'll be thinking
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: about you.
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, minute, that's not good enough.
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: You've got a helicopter drop in surprise, don't you that's.
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: What you're going I wished I did. I you know,
- 1:22:26Speaker 7: I got to work, I got to pay bills.
- 1:22:30Speaker 4: They're going to roll a cake out there in the
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: middle of the field and you're going to jump out
- 1:22:33Speaker 4: of it.
- 1:22:34Speaker 7: You don't know how hard I pushed for this game too.
- 1:22:37Speaker 7: I was trying to get it to be the Ohio
- 1:22:39Speaker 7: State game because they told me they were going to
- 1:22:41Speaker 7: do that this year, and I was hoping that CBS
- 1:22:43Speaker 7: would send us out right, but the CBS crew were
- 1:22:47Speaker 7: always already sending out the NFL guys on a remote.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:22:52Speaker 7: And then I was trying to make it the Oregon
- 1:22:54Speaker 7: game at the end so that maybe we could come
- 1:22:56Speaker 7: out and so forth. But it just didn't work out.
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: Man, you got to get here.
- 1:23:01Speaker 4: You know what your son looks, I could your son
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: looks just like you, So you know, you can just
- 1:23:05Speaker 4: put your son on CBS and then you can show
- 1:23:08Speaker 4: up from there.
- 1:23:10Speaker 8: He might rather than go to Ohio State.
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: He might rather Rick new Isle is with us. Right
- 1:23:20Speaker 4: here are College Football Insider and his segment, of course,
- 1:23:24Speaker 4: brought to you by Taco Time. All right, so what
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: are your expectations for tonight's college football playoff rankings? How
- 1:23:30Speaker 4: much shakeup are you anticipating?
- 1:23:33Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't see a whole bunch. Obviously, the a
- 1:23:38Speaker 7: ACC took some shrapnel last week with Virginia losing, Louisville losing,
- 1:23:44Speaker 7: and even Duke losing at Connecticut even though it wasn't
- 1:23:47Speaker 7: a conference game. So that's a for sure deal that
- 1:23:50Speaker 7: they're only going to get one team in. I think
- 1:23:53Speaker 7: the Texas Tech victory for over by you will obviously
- 1:23:59Speaker 7: help them'll move ahead of BYU, but it'll with Utah
- 1:24:03Speaker 7: being there and BYU's victory over Utah, I think they'll
- 1:24:07Speaker 7: still be very comfortable to get two teams in. Notre
- 1:24:10Speaker 7: Dame obviously needs to keep plotting away. That was an
- 1:24:14Speaker 7: impressive win over Navy in terrible conditions, and now they
- 1:24:18Speaker 7: get pit. I don't see much in the way. I
- 1:24:21Speaker 7: think you will see Texas A and M go ahead
- 1:24:24Speaker 7: of Indiana and be the number two team in the country.
- 1:24:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm expected Texas to make its debut tonight and
- 1:24:31Speaker 4: then I don't know who gets that twelve feet is
- 1:24:33Speaker 4: it James Madison?
- 1:24:34Speaker 8: Right now?
- 1:24:34Speaker 4: Are they the top? Aide?
- 1:24:39Speaker 7: There's a lot of publicity coming out from the American
- 1:24:43Speaker 7: Conference about strength to schedule and who they're really playing
- 1:24:46Speaker 7: and so forth. Because of all the teams at the
- 1:24:49Speaker 7: top of that American there are I think four or
- 1:24:52Speaker 7: five teams with one loss in the Americans. East Carolina
- 1:24:57Speaker 7: is in that number, North Texas is in that number,
- 1:25:00Speaker 7: and then South Florida and Navy played this week. So
- 1:25:05Speaker 7: lots to happen in the always exciting American Conference.
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's talk about some of these games
- 1:25:12Speaker 4: this week in very interesting schedule this weekend. I know
- 1:25:15Speaker 4: I asked you last week in any chance the Navy
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: can knock off Notre Dame and you said no, and
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: you were right. Any chance Pitt can knock off Notre Dame?
- 1:25:25Speaker 8: Yes, Pitt.
- 1:25:27Speaker 7: Pat Nardoozi is a terrific defensive coach, and terrific defensive
- 1:25:32Speaker 7: coaches can't be that unless they can stop the run.
- 1:25:36Speaker 7: So I think Pat Nardoozi and company can get Notre
- 1:25:39Speaker 7: Dame's running game keral. That doesn't mean extinguish it, but
- 1:25:43Speaker 7: they can corral it. And if they can, then it
- 1:25:46Speaker 7: becomes a CJ car game. And we'll wait and see
- 1:25:50Speaker 7: which are the two freshman quarterbacks first year quarterbacks here,
- 1:25:53Speaker 7: Mason Heinschel will have the better game since they put
- 1:25:57Speaker 7: Mason Heinschel in the game. Pitt has not lost. They've
- 1:26:01Speaker 7: been outstanding. And the two losses that they do have
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: on their schedule, they had seventeen point or ten point
- 1:26:08Speaker 7: lead against West Virginia, seventeen point lead against Louisville and
- 1:26:13Speaker 7: lost both those games because of turnovers. So Pitt's dangerous
- 1:26:17Speaker 7: this week, no question about it.
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: Good I want them to be really dangerous this week.
- 1:26:22Speaker 4: All right, So I don't like that Texas and Oklahoma
- 1:26:25Speaker 4: are in the SEC. I still wish Texas was in
- 1:26:28Speaker 4: the Southwest Conference and Oklahoma was in the Big Eight,
- 1:26:30Speaker 4: to be honest with you, but they did get They
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: are giving us a blue blood bath this weekend. I
- 1:26:38Speaker 4: mean to have Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas versus Georgia
- 1:26:42Speaker 4: on the same day. My goodness. It's not the SEC
- 1:26:46Speaker 4: football that I'm familiar with, and yet that's certainly two
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: really fascinating blue blood matchups right there.
- 1:26:54Speaker 7: Incredible blue blood matchups. And for the boys that are
- 1:26:58Speaker 7: coming from the Big twelve, there must wins.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: If they find ways to.
- 1:27:03Speaker 7: Win both at Georgia and at Alabama, they'll be right
- 1:27:08Speaker 7: back in that College football playoff. They're sitting right off
- 1:27:11Speaker 7: the right off the line of demarcation there because an
- 1:27:16Speaker 7: ACC team and a Group of five team have to
- 1:27:19Speaker 7: be in there. They were ranked eleven and twelve last week,
- 1:27:22Speaker 7: so they are right on the cusp of getting there,
- 1:27:26Speaker 7: and these would be signature wins. Neither of them can
- 1:27:28Speaker 7: really afford a loss, given that they fought both lost twice. Oklahoma,
- 1:27:33Speaker 7: of course, having one of those losses against Texas just
- 1:27:36Speaker 7: behind Texas, but both have stalwart defenses and these are
- 1:27:42Speaker 7: going to be great games.
- 1:27:44Speaker 4: USC is coming off a nice win over Northwestern. They've
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: got Oregon looming though. Is this a trap game against Iowa?
- 1:27:52Speaker 4: I mean, normally trap games aren't against ranked opponents who
- 1:27:55Speaker 4: are coming off a pretty solid effort against Oregon. But nonetheless,
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: so are they going to be looking ahead to the Ducks.
- 1:28:03Speaker 7: If this game were in Kinnick Stadium, I would be
- 1:28:07Speaker 7: taking Iowa all day long. But because it's in the coliseum,
- 1:28:11Speaker 7: I think se will have enough in their offense. They
- 1:28:16Speaker 7: handled Michigan, which is, you know, pretty stout defense at home.
- 1:28:22Speaker 7: I think that they'll handle business against Iowa.
- 1:28:26Speaker 4: All right, do you have a Taco Time Pick of
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: the week for us?
- 1:28:29Speaker 7: You just nailed it. I was going to take the Trojans. Okay,
- 1:28:32Speaker 7: I was going to take the Trojans. I think they're
- 1:28:33Speaker 7: a six and a half point favorite. I just think
- 1:28:37Speaker 7: that based on you know, McKay Lemon, Jakobe Lane and
- 1:28:45Speaker 7: Jade and Mayava, those three guys, plus a running game
- 1:28:48Speaker 7: that's been pretty consistent, more consistent than any other year
- 1:28:51Speaker 7: previous with Lincoln Riley, as the head coach. I think
- 1:28:55Speaker 7: they can handle Iowa and will do so comfortably.
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: All Right, very good Taco Time pick of the week.
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: And I still got a couple of minutes, so I
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: get to actually ask you about the mess at LSU
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: before we get done here. So are they really trying
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: to back out of owing Brian Kelly the money that
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: they so proudly we're willing to eat?
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: This is the new game.
- 1:29:18Speaker 7: This is the new game because of this, you know,
- 1:29:21Speaker 7: giant contracts. What happens now is they hire private investigators
- 1:29:27Speaker 7: to basically look into the life of the head coach,
- 1:29:30Speaker 7: and they're trying to find some dirt thing that qualifies
- 1:29:36Speaker 7: under that could get you out. I mean, you imagine
- 1:29:42Speaker 7: like putting pictures down of somebody's personal life and saying, hey,
- 1:29:46Speaker 7: you've got to take this money or we're going to
- 1:29:50Speaker 7: out these pictures. And it's disgusting. No one put a
- 1:29:54Speaker 7: gun to the h and set up for Kelly this
- 1:30:00Speaker 7: much did, but they did. And and the fact that
- 1:30:06Speaker 7: the guy wants the month, I mean, he didn't want
- 1:30:09Speaker 7: to be fired.
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: Yeah, just stay there.
- 1:30:13Speaker 7: But the fact that they would fight him love is
- 1:30:16Speaker 7: disgusting and unfortunate. But it's it's the sign of the times.
- 1:30:22Speaker 4: Well, for no other reason, we got to get our
- 1:30:24Speaker 4: arms around this, because we just can't let this keep
- 1:30:26Speaker 4: de evolving. You know, this this sort of activity. So
- 1:30:31Speaker 4: oh man, these are ripples I did not see coming
- 1:30:34Speaker 4: on this pond. So coach, thank you. We appreciate your
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: great stuff. I hope you can somehow swing it, maybe
- 1:30:42Speaker 4: clone yourself between now and Saturday, so you can get
- 1:30:45Speaker 4: out here to get on ORed alongside your team.
- 1:30:48Speaker 7: It would be a treat to be back in Husky Stadium.
- 1:30:51Speaker 7: But those boys will they'll cherish the memories. They'll chaerish
- 1:30:55Speaker 7: the memories.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
- 1:30:57Speaker 4: All right, thanks coach Rick new iiel joining us his
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: segment brought to you by Taco Time. I was gonna
- 1:31:03Speaker 4: try to make you feel like your radio was going
- 1:31:06Speaker 4: nuts and do one of these things like coming back
- 1:31:10Speaker 4: a moment, bucking and I but no, that was not
- 1:31:15Speaker 4: your radio. Some of them was going along with his phone.
- 1:31:18Speaker 4: But he was talking about some really interesting stuff and
- 1:31:21Speaker 4: it was the last question of the segment, so I
- 1:31:24Speaker 4: was trying to push through there.
- 1:31:26Speaker 8: We did.
- 1:31:26Speaker 4: We got through it.
- 1:31:28Speaker 3: You got the gist of what he was saying.
- 1:31:29Speaker 4: I think is doing that. Yeah, I think you got
- 1:31:32Speaker 4: the gist.
- 1:31:33Speaker 9: The gist was gotten, yep, right, it's already been burtten alright.
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: Coming up next, the old Judge stops by and man,
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: do we have a bone or two to pick with him?
- 1:31:45Speaker 4: On kJ R is now in the court room fifty.
- 1:31:48Speaker 3: fIF It's quite a family, quite a lineage, I.
- 1:31:52Speaker 6: Mean by people before me or having more babies, right, yes,
- 1:31:58Speaker 6: in order for me to keep getting.
- 1:32:00Speaker 4: Further down the line. Correct. Okay, wait, good on you, Grandpa.
- 1:32:03Speaker 4: I think I said fifty fifth every time? Oh is
- 1:32:05Speaker 4: it every single time?
- 1:32:06Speaker 15: Yeah?
- 1:32:06Speaker 4: Definitely, maah, pretty consistent with that.
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: He thinks he said fifty fifth every time?
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: You saw that?
- 1:32:14Speaker 4: A Yeah, it goes all the way back to your
- 1:32:16Speaker 4: Scandinavian roots. The Cornhole legacy is it's long, quiet, strong, Yeah,
- 1:32:24Speaker 4: it's deep. A lot of Vikings named cornhole.
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: Oh that's what you think.
- 1:32:30Speaker 4: Well, maybe not in their native tongue. It was like horn, yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah,
- 1:32:36Speaker 4: a lot of them named hornhung.
- 1:32:38Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: So anyway, we're very impressed with your lineage. Or by
- 1:32:42Speaker 4: the way, before we get going with the old judge,
- 1:32:45Speaker 4: Seattle International Auto Show presented by B. E. C U
- 1:32:48Speaker 4: is back November fourteenth through sixteenth the newest models from
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: the world's best brand. See them, touch them, drive them,

- 1:33:01Speaker 4: dot Com. All right, this is how the old Judge works.
- 1:33:04Speaker 4: Once week, the old Judge comes into our studios with
- 1:33:06Speaker 4: his big giant gabble. Uh, and I bring up a
- 1:33:09Speaker 4: few subjects so that Ashley and I discuss. Once the
- 1:33:12Speaker 4: Judge has hurt enough of our nonsense, he slams his
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: gabble gabble gabble, and then he sets the record straight.
- 1:33:20Speaker 4: And it does become official in the annals of history,
- 1:33:23Speaker 4: does it?
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: Though?
- 1:33:25Speaker 4: It is officially spoken in the annals of history?
- 1:33:29Speaker 16: Okay, that's true. Okay, yeah, it is officially. It has
- 1:33:33Speaker 16: been said, right, it's been there. Whatever you say will
- 1:33:36Speaker 16: be said said. Someone will have heard it, right.
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: Good point there. All right, Well let's get into it.
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: I got a pretty lengthy list here today in the courtroom.
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: Dan Wilson will and should win the American League Manager
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: of the Year award tonight.
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Dan, but no and no.
- 1:33:58Speaker 9: I I I am not as down on Dan Wilson
- 1:34:01Speaker 9: as some people I will say, but that would be
- 1:34:07Speaker 9: hard to do.
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: But I I do not think.
- 1:34:11Speaker 9: I do think there was still enough questions and enough
- 1:34:14Speaker 9: question marks that we had this season that there's room
- 1:34:19Speaker 9: for improvement. And I wouldn't put him as the top
- 1:34:23Speaker 9: of the American League.
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:34:26Speaker 4: I mean he's the only manager I watched manage every
- 1:34:28Speaker 4: game this year, but I had enough problems with him
- 1:34:32Speaker 4: that here, even in Seattle. I don't think that he should.
- 1:34:35Speaker 4: I think it should be Alex Cora, who's not even
- 1:34:38Speaker 4: a finalist. And I also don't think that he will.
- 1:34:41Speaker 4: I think John Schneider will win.
- 1:34:42Speaker 6: Me Cavill Gavel, No, I don't think he's going to win.
- 1:34:50Speaker 6: And as much as I would like to say I
- 1:34:51Speaker 6: think he should, I just I can't.
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:34:54Speaker 6: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna attempt to try to
- 1:34:57Speaker 6: dissect it down because I can't dissect John Schneider and
- 1:35:01Speaker 6: Steven Vote the way that I can dissect him.
- 1:35:03Speaker 8: Was he perfect?
- 1:35:04Speaker 6: Nope, not even close to it. Is there things that
- 1:35:06Speaker 6: I disagree with, sure, but I think he did a
- 1:35:09Speaker 6: really good job. I mean, he did end up taking
- 1:35:11Speaker 6: this team that they had to stick around before the
- 1:35:14Speaker 6: trade deadline, moves. They had to be within it to
- 1:35:17Speaker 6: where the organization wanted to go for it. And so
- 1:35:19Speaker 6: he did a darn good job basically from starting to
- 1:35:21Speaker 6: finish of putting these guys in a position to where
- 1:35:24Speaker 6: they would go make moves, and then when they did,
- 1:35:26Speaker 6: we were as close to get into a World Series
- 1:35:28Speaker 6: as possible. That said, I just I give the nod
- 1:35:32Speaker 6: to John Schneider because of the well documented overhaul of
- 1:35:37Speaker 6: what they did as far as their offensive production, how
- 1:35:40Speaker 6: they went about having better at bats, and we watched
- 1:35:43Speaker 6: it for seven games against US and seven games against
- 1:35:46Speaker 6: the Dodgers as well.
- 1:35:47Speaker 4: So to me, i'd give it to John Schneider a.
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: Lot of games against the Yankees, though, because the Yankees sucked.
- 1:35:55Speaker 4: Speaking of John Schneider, John Schneider and Mike McDonald AFL's
- 1:36:01Speaker 4: Hottest Coach GM combo. Right now, it's hard.
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: It's hard to see who might be well Philadelphia.
- 1:36:13Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd say right now in this moment, especially recency bias,
- 1:36:16Speaker 9: two blowout wins, you made a trade just to amp
- 1:36:20Speaker 9: up an already good looking offense. You've got a very
- 1:36:23Speaker 9: strong defense. It looks right now like you are pulling
- 1:36:28Speaker 9: all the right strings. So in this very moment. Yes,
- 1:36:31Speaker 9: they are the hottest duo.
- 1:36:32Speaker 4: I agree with you, They're not the best, They're not
- 1:36:34Speaker 4: the most accomplished, certainly, but man, this feels like a
- 1:36:37Speaker 4: marriage made in heaven. John's coming off maybe his best
- 1:36:41Speaker 4: draft that he's ever had, seemed to push all the
- 1:36:44Speaker 4: right buttons took a year for he and Mike to
- 1:36:46Speaker 4: get on the same page on the type of personnel
- 1:36:49Speaker 4: that Mike needed to run the program as he saw
- 1:36:52Speaker 4: it in his brilliant, weird genius mind of his, and
- 1:36:57Speaker 4: even guys I said this Monday, Ty Okadau and Drake
- 1:37:02Speaker 4: Thomas like John's in this position now, It's like even
- 1:37:05Speaker 4: when I just pick off a couple scrubs, you've turned
- 1:37:08Speaker 4: them into something good.
- 1:37:09Speaker 15: YEP.
- 1:37:10Speaker 4: So I think they're magical right now. I don't think
- 1:37:12Speaker 4: they're the best, but I do think they are the.
- 1:37:16Speaker 6: Hottes Cavel Cavil. It's hard to argue with them not
- 1:37:22Speaker 6: being the hottest. I mean to me, if you're talking
- 1:37:25Speaker 6: about the hottest, you're talking about temperature right now. Well,
- 1:37:27Speaker 6: I mean they've in the last couple few weeks have
- 1:37:30Speaker 6: jumped from a team that maybe going into the season
- 1:37:33Speaker 6: is like I think this team might be pretty good.
- 1:37:34Speaker 6: Like what they saw at a defense. We'll see what
- 1:37:36Speaker 6: Sam Donald's all about. Well, the idea to move on
- 1:37:39Speaker 6: from who they had at quarterback before to Sam Donald.
- 1:37:42Speaker 6: Combine that with the defense that still looks like it's
- 1:37:45Speaker 6: growing and flourishing. It doesn't feel like it's capped out
- 1:37:48Speaker 6: by any stretch. They played a bunch of this season
- 1:37:50Speaker 6: without all their players, for crying out loud, and so yeah,
- 1:37:53Speaker 6: I think that there's a They probably are. They've climbed
- 1:37:56Speaker 6: up to the top of the power ranking, so I
- 1:37:57Speaker 6: think that that's an entire organation thing. I think Mike
- 1:38:01Speaker 6: McDonald was recognized as a defensive guru, I mean, a
- 1:38:05Speaker 6: mastermind at that side, and now it's coming to fruition.
- 1:38:08Speaker 6: You're seeing that it that's not false. So that's John
- 1:38:11Speaker 6: Schneider good good choice on picking him and then pulling
- 1:38:15Speaker 6: all the strings that they've pulled and bringing in the
- 1:38:17Speaker 6: most important position and looking like an upgrade in Sam Donald,
- 1:38:20Speaker 6: who's playing like an MVP as of late anyways, most
- 1:38:24Speaker 6: of the season. Anyways, Yeah, I think they probably are
- 1:38:27Speaker 6: the hottest. Good job judge.
- 1:38:28Speaker 4: That take was.
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: Sizzling.
- 1:38:32Speaker 4: That's right. The Bengals should just set Joe Burrow at
- 1:38:36Speaker 4: this point for the rest of a lost season and
- 1:38:38Speaker 4: start fresh in twenty twenty six.
- 1:38:41Speaker 3: No, and I don't think that Joe Burrow wants them
- 1:38:43Speaker 3: to just sit him.
- 1:38:44Speaker 9: I mean, he said he's been trying everything to get
- 1:38:46Speaker 9: his toe back to being okay and being ready to play.
- 1:38:50Speaker 9: And I don't think there's especially right now. I don't
- 1:38:52Speaker 9: think their season is lost yet. Now, if they lose
- 1:38:56Speaker 9: the next two games leading up to Thanksgiving, well then
- 1:38:59Speaker 9: maybe you're looking at trying to give him a little
- 1:39:01Speaker 9: bit more time to be healthy and not push it,
- 1:39:03Speaker 9: because the last thing you want is a set back.
- 1:39:04Speaker 9: But right now, two weeks to go till he thinks
- 1:39:06Speaker 9: he's coming back.
- 1:39:07Speaker 4: No, I'm with you. I'm with you one hundred percent.
- 1:39:10Speaker 4: And then I would just add something to it. I
- 1:39:13Speaker 4: think Joe Burrow needs to freaking play some football. Is
- 1:39:16Speaker 4: this going to happen every year with you? Dude? And
- 1:39:18Speaker 4: by the way, this whole brave I stay in the
- 1:39:22Speaker 4: pocket and take hits. It's stupid. Yeah, get rid of
- 1:39:25Speaker 4: the damn football because you can't withstand the punishment that
- 1:39:29Speaker 4: you are willingly taking on the football field. Talk to
- 1:39:33Speaker 4: Tom Brady in the offseason on how to get rid
- 1:39:36Speaker 4: of the football because your team needs you, Gavel, Gavel, Gavel.
- 1:39:40Speaker 6: I think for sure they should allow him to come
- 1:39:42Speaker 6: back if he's ready to come back, because of the
- 1:39:44Speaker 6: division they play, and the leader in that division right
- 1:39:46Speaker 6: now is the Steelers, and they're five and four, so
- 1:39:49Speaker 6: there are two games ahead of them, so it's right
- 1:39:51Speaker 6: there now. I think that the Ravens are getting healthy,
- 1:39:54Speaker 6: and the Ravens are probably the team to beat in
- 1:39:56Speaker 6: that division, but all kinds of crazy things can happen.
- 1:39:58Speaker 6: You got a whole second half the season to play,
- 1:40:00Speaker 6: and their best chance is to have him at the helm.
- 1:40:04Speaker 6: But I like your point there, that little added thing where, yeah,
- 1:40:07Speaker 6: it's good for you. I like being I like guys
- 1:40:09Speaker 6: that are tough. They're standing willing to stand there and
- 1:40:12Speaker 6: throw when they're looking down the barrel at a at
- 1:40:14Speaker 6: a pass rusher coming at them. A the same time,
- 1:40:16Speaker 6: you got to protect yourself. It's like, you know, your
- 1:40:20Speaker 6: availability is one of your best best abilities, and he
- 1:40:23Speaker 6: hasn't been very available.
- 1:40:24Speaker 4: Having every year to him, and it's just like he
- 1:40:26Speaker 4: wears this badge of honor of like I'll take the hit.
- 1:40:29Speaker 9: Well, you're stupid, Yeah, no one's ever questioned his toughness,
- 1:40:32Speaker 9: that's for sure. But you know at some point it
- 1:40:34Speaker 9: is going to catch up with you.
- 1:40:35Speaker 8: All right.
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: Finally, it is perfectly awesome that somebody may or may
- 1:40:42Speaker 4: not have had his or her first cup of holiday
- 1:40:46Speaker 4: eggnog last night on November tenth. Cavel, cavel, cavel, cavel.
- 1:40:51Speaker 4: Hell no, wait a minute, we didn't even get that answer.
- 1:40:54Speaker 6: Yeah, it thrown out a court bring nonsense.
- 1:41:00Speaker 13: Audio.
- 1:41:00Speaker 4: Bet it was delicious.
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: I bet it was fire in the fireplace, or at
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: least you had one on in your mind.
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: I bet there was.
- 1:41:08Speaker 3: I bet there was see way to soak it all.
- 1:41:12Speaker 4: And I bet, dumb, gavel, I bet it was so good,
- 1:41:17Speaker 4: dumb that this person had a second come.
- 1:41:20Speaker 3: God, this person might be my new hero.
- 1:41:22Speaker 4: And this person didn't even put alcohol in it. Oh wow,
- 1:41:25Speaker 4: wait till the alcohol. That's going to cavel gavel.
- 1:41:29Speaker 6: Okay, you're onto something that you did put alcohol to,
- 1:41:32Speaker 6: just have the festive drink with no alcohol?
- 1:41:34Speaker 4: Pretty delicious contempt. Contempt, Maggie.
- 1:41:39Speaker 9: I mean this person, Yeah, this person might need to
- 1:41:43Speaker 9: take how to upgrade this supposed enough?
- 1:41:46Speaker 4: Well, now I get to do I mean, this person
- 1:41:49Speaker 4: gets to do it again in another time, the right way.
- 1:41:53Speaker 4: Guilty of premature celebration. Guilty. This person's got a huge heart.
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: I think that's that having that nog, that's equivalent of
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: three pumps.
