  Speaker 2: cold as the Rockies, the Seahawks put Zach Charbonnet on
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the 53-man roster. Off the physically unable to perform list yesterday.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: That has him poised to make his season debut at
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: running back Sunday night against Kansas City. You'll hear from
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Charbonnet next segment. You'll hear me ask him about his contract,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: which suddenly is ending. Yeah, he's walking back into a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: contract year in the middle of it. First game in
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: eight months. Nine months since he played, actually. Eight months
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: since reconstructive knee surgery Sunday night. A couple edge defenders
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: were limited by new injury issues in practice yesterday. Demarcus Lawrence,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Uchenna Nwosu. The injury report for the game comes out
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: at 1 p.m. or so today. Bears beat the Patriots
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: last night to begin NFL Week 7. Chicago's now 5-2
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the next game at the Seahawks. One week from Monday
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: at Lumen Field. Talk about mini-bye. Bears have a long
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: time between now and when they play the Seahawks at
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Lumen Field a week from Monday. A definite rest advantage
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: for Chicago in that one. Kraken won for the seventh
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: time in 11 games to begin their season. 5-3 over
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: previously rolling Utah. First place team. This is the best
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: start to a season in the Kraken's sixth year of existence.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow they host Minnesota at Climate Pledge Arena. Mike Benton
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: pregame at 6.30. Puck drop at 7 p.m. right here
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: in your home of the roaring.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Kraken, KJR. Kraken have scored the third most goals in
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the Western Conference, fourth most in the league right now.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I know, and everyone wanted them over the past couple
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: years to start fast, right?
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: So we're not doing this, it's an early thing. We're doing, sure,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: it's early, but let's look.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And they wanted them to score, and they wanted them
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to shoot more, and it's working so far. It's working.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: There were a lot of goals last night.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Now they bring it back in onside.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: Jordan Eberle has.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: Shot near wing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: It bounces off the end boards, off the back of Mimalka,
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: and they score.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Berkeley Cat, nice move on Kraus. Cat throws it down low.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Backdoor tap-in.
• 2:12
  Speaker 9: Scores!
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Matty Beneers draws the penalty. Montour to the half wall.
• 2:19
  Speaker 10: The captain.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Back to Montour.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Wides.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Fires.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Scores!
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Now Seattle brings it up the right side.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: McMahon shoots. That one through the pads of Mimalka. Goes
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: off the side of the goal.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: McMahon again. Back door.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: Scores!
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Sameth can't hold the line.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And Seattle will chase him back to the center circle.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Now Goudreau picks it off toward the empty net.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Scores!
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Puck pressure from Freddy Gaudreau.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: In the neutral zone.
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: Takes it away and will send it down the ice
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: for his team-leading.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Sixth of the season and the Seattle Crockett with a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: two-goal lead, 5-3. Man, who didn't score in that montage?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Everett Fitch, you needed a throat loss.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You're all hauls after that one.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: He was put to work last night.
• 3:09
  Speaker 11: He was.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: A lot of horns.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: A lot of fairy horns at the arena last night.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: 5-3.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Your Kraken win. Seven wins in 11 games to start
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the season again. Minnesota tomorrow night. They got a homestand coming.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They got Toronto coming in next week as well. Good
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: job for the Kraken getting a good start. Kraken fans
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: get on board. Huskies aren't doing anything. Seahawks are 3-3.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: How about the Kraken?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Let's do that. We won't mention your Huskies yet.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: My Huskies.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I mean your Cougars.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I'm like, excuse me.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: The look said a lot. The look said a lot.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Your Cougars.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: It is our station. They are our station. They are.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: And I respect that and everything.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But, yep.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Nope. What I saw last week was some hope. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: they are going up a formidable opponent.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Eshelman tomorrow is going to get his second consecutive start
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: for the Cougs. They play 21st ranked Boise State 3 p.m.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: at Martin Stadium. Our Jessamyn McIntyre will be there on
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the sidelines for Washington State's radio network. The Washington Huskies
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: are off. They're going to give everyone a chance to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: guess who they're going to have a quarterback next week.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I heard Rick Neuheisel. I heard a bunch of people
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: say it should be Elijah Brown and not the $ 4
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: million man, DeMond Williams, at Nebraska on Halloween night next week.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Bye for the Huskies.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Tonight, World Series. Tampa Bay, Milwaukee. Game one tonight. Milwaukee,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: First World Series since 1980. Royals-Phillies that both teams have
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: not won at all before.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And another big Friday night in high school football across
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the state tonight. Unbeaten Puyallup against one loss, Emerald Ridge
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: down south. Out on the plateau, Bellevue and Mount Sai
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: for first place in the King Co. Crown South. I'm
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: going to be at Popkini Stadium officiating North Creek and Woodinville.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Battle of second place teams in the King Co. Crown North.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And in the Tri-Cities, Chawana plays Kennewick. We have our
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: high school football showcase coming up at 11 o'clock. Now
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: on with the Friday show. As part of our relentless
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: coverage of the NFL.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: This is football.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: This is football.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: This is a Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: This crowd is going nuts.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Football Fridays are brought to you by Washington's Beef Farmers
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and Ranchers. Beef, it's what's for dinner. It's Football Friday
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: with Greg Bell on your home for the NFL.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: All right, you have something to pick with Ensign Sarah Bell.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: She's home, back on the mainland. She's probably listening for
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Return of the Mack right now.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: We will get it in.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Blame the Washington State Beef Commission.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Well, we love the Washington State Beef Commission.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Ensign Bell has a beef with the Beef Commission for
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: no Mark Morrison. Well, double the beef.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: She has double the reason to be beefing with the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Beef Commission because she's a vegetarian, as is her mother.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that there's a lot of extremely successful
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Beef Commission people in this state, and they do— really
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: support us on these Fridays. So I appreciate that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Patel on the party line.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: She won't even budge for a vegetarian.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: For my daughter.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I don't eat beef either. However, I know a lot
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: of people do, and this is a Washington state beef
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: commission Friday, and I appreciate their support to our station.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Man, it's just a company gal. Can't even stray from
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the company line.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I do appreciate it. I don't even eat beef. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: don't eat beef. I don't eat pork. However, I do
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: know that a lot of people in this state and
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of people, especially in the more rural areas,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: live their livelihoods on that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 12: That's it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Pit me against the rural farmers and people on the ranchers. Okay.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Appreciate that, Jessamyn.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: You picked the fight, man.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I'm going to support my daughter and my wife.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying they're listening for Mark Morrison, Return of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the Mac at 10 o'clock, and they are somewhat adrift
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: right now. That's all.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: That's the only point I'm making.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: We will get Return of the Mac back in. Okay.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: You heard Jessamyn promise it. Text line.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: You heard her. It's coming.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It is a Washington State Beef Commission Football Friday brought
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to you by Washington's Beef Farmers and Ranchers. Beef, it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: what's for dinner unless you're in the Bell household and
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: your wife went to CU Boulder and your kids were
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: born in Berkeley.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I'm the daughter of a vegetarian as well.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: You survived.
• 7:17
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I somehow have as well. Good morning, ma'am.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: How are we?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: It's been a long week. What has been the most
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: treacherous time of your week? I can't wait to hear
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: about this Zach Charbonnet conversation you had in the locker room.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Most treacherous? That was not it. Although Zach Charbonnet does
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: not like to talk to the media. It's not that
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: he's a mean guy.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: No, he's just quiet.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he just doesn't like to do it. He just
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a whole lot to say, doesn't expound on
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a whole lot. You'll hear at 1020, he actually expounded
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: more than he usually does.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: But I think he just was checking the block. All right,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I'm back. I'm on the active roster. Okay, I'll do this.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And we went in the little hallway right outside the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: locker room and talked.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: To him for about six, seven minutes. That's an extensive interview.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: For him, especially because it wasn't a press conference. It
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: was a locker room conversation. And that also usually tends
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: to be shorter.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: But I can tell you it's exactly six minutes and
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: 47 seconds.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: That's like a 60-minute expose for Zach Sharman.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: For him, yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is a long time.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I never shade guys for not being comfortable doing it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: No.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And like I said, it's not that he's mean or rude.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: He just doesn't like to do it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: No, some guys shy away. I mean, if you've ever
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: heard Devin Witherspoon on the field versus him being at
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: a podium, you would know that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Witherspoon doesn't like to do it either.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: He doesn't.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Just a little bit short, but that doesn't reflect on
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: their character or them as a player.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker is very soft-spoken, although I found it interesting
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: this week when Sam McDowell, the Kansas City star, Chiefs writer,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Did you catch him tell us there's a Friday, weekly
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Friday press conference with Kenneth Walker?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, what?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: He's their shining star.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is. And there's a lot of demand for him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: But I was thinking he never did that here. You
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: had to go pry him out of his locker if
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you want to talk. It's not that he didn't want
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to talk. It's just, I mean, like, it's not that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't talk, I should say. But he preferred not to.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Right. But he's their star. And I think that when
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: guys come to that level, like they did the same
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: thing with Russell Wilson out here, when guys are in that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: specific category, obviously, famously, they didn't do it with Marchand.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: But when guys are the height of a national spotlight,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: it makes it easier for the player to have a
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: designated time. He knows when he's going to have to speak.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: And I mean, look at him right now. The only
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: time he had to do that was at the Super
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Bowl when it came to the Seahawks.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: That's the only time every player is forced. I never
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: had a problem with Marchand.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Never. I have told the story before. I officiated his
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: games when he was at Oakland Tech before he got
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to Cal. And My home was about a mile and
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: a half from where his home was in North Oakland.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And I never, when he was with the Seahawks, we chatted,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: just chatted off the record and talked about it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: But I never had a problem with him.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: It was some people in this market who would call
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the NFL and yell and scream about, hey, he's not talking.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Most of the time, the trouble was when we went
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: on road games.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: It was national and road.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Correct. The national writers would come to Kansas City or
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Buffalo or Charlotte or Philadelphia and he wouldn't talk.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: And they would just affront it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: And they go call the NFL. Yeah. And it was like,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: that's when the NFL would start complaining.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Well, they had to with reports coming in. The NFL
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: had to do that. I had a very good friend,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: still have him, but who was in a position that
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: he's not in anymore. Very high ranking when it came
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: to the league. And I just remember him going crazy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I really don't want to tell Marshawn he can't wear
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: those gold shoes tonight. But he didn't want to do it,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: but he had to because there's rules and regulations and
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: you have to make yourself available to the media in
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Marshawn's position. And it was only all the local people
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: knew it. But all those guys, you and women who
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: cover the team every day were like, no, don't bother.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: He doesn't want to talk.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I had 52 other people I could talk to.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: And I told him that all the time. I'm like, yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: we're cool. That's fine.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And yeah, but some people made a much bigger deal
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: out of it than I. I already see on the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: text line, no, I'm not disrespecting the 206N. Wow, Greg,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: no respect for us Central Washington farmers and ranchers.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: That was in jest.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: JK. I'm hip enough to know what JK means, but barely.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But no, obviously not. I'm just making more fun out
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: of the fact that I have a vegetarian wife and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a vegetarian daughter and that she loves Return of the Mack.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: And she might have tuned in at 10 o'clock expecting
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to hear it, but you didn't hear it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Stay tuned, Sarah.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: We're going to get it in for you. I hear
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the 206 saying, get your daughter in the studio. The
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: last place she probably wants to be right now in
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: her two days of leave before she has to go
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: back to Coast Guard duty.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: To be in the radio station with me with.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Dad that's fair she'll get you at home yes.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: That's funny but that would be a kick actually she's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: very glib she's very out she's like her mother she's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: conversational she's.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Great I've met both of them and have had a
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: great I've met your.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Whole family yeah that's true all.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: At separate times too that's true yes.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: You've seen her Sarah in a very army navy.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Setting in fact in Boston so yeah in Washington I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: think but yeah uh Sarah Bell's home.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Ensign Sarah Bell.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: How has it been?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I picked her up at 6 o'clock this morning.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, so you haven't had time yet.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was at SeaTac and back already.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: By the way, SeaTac Airport at 5.45 a.m. is a
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: whole different experience.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It's all right.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: It is so nice to be on the first plane.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Out of any airport. This is how a normal airport operates.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: How about that? No delays, no traffic.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: This is okay.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Smooth flow.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Every flight is the first flight out, so there was
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: no chance for delays.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: On the show today, we're going to talk about Zach Charbonnet.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: He is back.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: He did talk about his contract when I asked him
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: about it yesterday, because to me, there's an urgency here
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that kind of is a dichotomy of what he actually is.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: He's in a situation where the team wants him to
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: ramp up slowly because he hasn't been playing for nine months,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and he had reconstructive knee surgery eight months ago. He
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: just had his full practices this week. It would be
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: somewhat malpractice to give him the ball 20, 25 times
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: on Sunday night, wouldn't it? So the Seahawks have a
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: plan for him, a ramp-up plan, and Charbonnet talks about
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the patience he needs to show in that. Yet, opposite
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: of that is the fact he has only 11 games left,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: 11 auditions left in his contract in the regular season.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: for when he needs to find a new deal, whether
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that's in Seattle or elsewhere. The Seahawks have to have
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a decision on whether they want to bring him back,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and their history says no, that they don't often give contracts,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: second contracts, beyond the rookie ones. And Jadarian Price is here.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: They drafted him, and they've got his rights for four
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: more years after this one, counting a 50-year option if
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: they want to exercise it. The point is, time is
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: now for Zach Charbonnet, yet he can't just run out
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: there like it never happened, or else he may not
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: last into the end of the season. So, There is
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a push and pull there that I asked him about,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and you'll hear his answer at a little bit after
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: 1025 or so. 11 o'clock, we're going to talk live
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to Bellevue coach Michael Kniep. Former Huskies Washington offensive lineman,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: by the way, and a Bellevue high grad himself. And
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to Mountside coach Don Bartle. Those two first-place teams in
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the King Co. South Division, the King Co. Crown Division
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: in the South Side. are meeting each other tonight at
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Mount Sinai High School in Snoqualmie. It's two Battle of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Six and One teams, 4-0 in the conference.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: That's our weekly high school showcase game.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I know there are all kinds of big games around
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the state, and I've mentioned a couple of them. As
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: every Friday and Friday night tonight, as he does every
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Friday night, Dick Fane will have.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: His high school football live show with scores and calling.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. I've listened to it on my way
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: back from officiating games, and he calls people that he
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: knows and writers and radio people from across the state
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: who are at the stadiums. At games in Kennewick and
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Spokane and Wenatchee and Bellingham. It's cool. And get first
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: person on the scene. Here's what happened tonight. And here's
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: what it means for the rest of the league. And
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: here's who can make the playoffs. That's at 10 o'clock
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: tonight on 93.3 KJR. And then at 1130, we'll read
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: back your text. The Tacoma Dodge text line 49451, of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: which I've read a couple already for Ensign Bell.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And the talkbacks. Go to the iHeartRadio app, 933KJR, or
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: our website, 933KJR. com. Jessamyn will play back. She loves playing back.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: And also get your voice heard. I mean, everyone has
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: opinions out here. It's just 30 seconds and it's on
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the app. And what I like to do is include
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: people in the show instead of our voices reading your text.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: And maybe you can only text. But what I really
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: love is hearing the other voices that make up our
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: entire listenership and getting the different opinions. And sometimes people
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: get a little extra creative and I like to reward
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: them for their creativity. Because I couldn't come up with
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: some of that stuff.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I tease Jess when it's a little bar,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: but she just likes to have voices on her.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I like our listeners. That's what it is, Greg.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Again, it's not that I don't. Now you've pitted me
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: against the ranchers and the listeners.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: You just took it that way.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: My apologies to Mount Sai. It is Don Bartel. I
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: mispronounced his name when speaking. Bartel, like the drugstore. That's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: been doing it for a long time out on I
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: had his game a couple weeks ago in Eastlake, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: they beat him 29-7. They have a big team that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: can throw the ball, Mount Sai. An unusual combination of
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: size and being able to spread teams out. That's what
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: goes against Bellevue tonight. Bellevue, I've had them, and they
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: are good.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Aren't they traditionally very, very— Oh, yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: They're a state powerhouse in 3A. The 3A finalists that
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: lost to O'Day last year. Mike Benton and I called
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that game at Husky Stadium, the 3A final. But they're—
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Faster than they were last year, and I think they're
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: cleaner on the line of scrimmage. When I had them,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they played Lyndon Christian. Kudos to Lyndon Christian for stepping
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: up and playing Bellevue. But they were just bigger, faster,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: stronger than I remember Bellevue being last year. I had
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Bellevue and Skyline last year, one of the better games
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I've had in years officiating. But, yeah, Bellevue has lost
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: one time, and it was down in Puyallup. And kudos
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: to them, two state powers going at it. And Mount
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Si lost to Tumwater, another perennial state power down on
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the Olympia South Sound. So big game tonight on the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: plateau in Snoqualmie. Mount Si and Bellevue High School. And
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: that's our high school feature game. We'll do it at
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock. 11.35, Factor Fiction. We do that every day
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: at that time. Your chance to win $ 1, 000 from the
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. My pick today, I think
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I'm staying on the campus.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I haven't totally decided, but. You're right. When you get
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: to this point in the week, the NFL games are picking.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: It's been picking.
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I heard, I think it was Dick or Jackson, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: think it was Dick Fane yesterday, pick against your Jets,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Dolphins pick, went opposite.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Well, then one of us is going to fight the other.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: He said the Jets should never be favored over anybody
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: by four and a half points. That was Dick Fane's reasoning.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Well, fine, Dick. I'm okay. Yeah, you're right. It was him.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: It was Dick.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: He took the Dolphins plus four and a half. Jessamyn
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: took yesterday her hometown Jets minus four and a half.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Long Island pick as it is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: He just picked a team that he thought was due.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: They are due.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: However, that is a little bit of a larger spread.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: It's not a minus three or something like that. So
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I do get his logic. But we are in fighting
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: words right now.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: The winless Dolphins who have scored 70 points in five games.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: 70 points to five. I didn't watch much of that
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Bears game last night. It was on the background of
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: a place I was at. But they look like they
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: won comfortably. And then New England scored at the very
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: end to make it close. And I saw an onside
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: kick to Patriots, so I'm up for it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: But Caleb Williams is back.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: He looks healthy, which means that is a much more
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: formidable test with Caleb Williams than without.
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: When the Seahawks get them a week from Monday. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: we've mentioned it, the Bears are now 5-2. So you
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: have to look down the line here. The Seahawks' chances
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of winning the NFC West are pretty low right now, honestly.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: The way the 49ers have gone up right away. I mean,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: three and a half games up, basically.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: But, like we've said, the alternative in a wildcard situation
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: might be fortuitous.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: That's what I was about to mention. That's why the Bears'
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: 5-2 record is of some interest here. Because that's who
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are. One of the teams they'll be vying
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: for wildcard position if they can win, get themselves straight
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: on offense. The Seahawks are 3-3.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: The Bears are now 5-2.
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Are all lumped at that 4-2, 5-2 level. And right now,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Minnesota's 5-0, but barely scoring points. So people think the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Vikings are going to come back to the rest of
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the NFC North, but And Jessamyn's point is the wild
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: card will play the first round game at either the
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: NFC South winner or the NFC East winner, which is basically.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Like a bye week. I mean, those two teams are
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: not going to be good.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Either one.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Giants, Falcons, Panthers.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Panthers could be dangerous, but I'd take Seattle over any
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: of those teams on the road in the first round.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And then you've got a second round matchup, and that's
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: where the problem begins because you're probably going to run
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: into San Francisco in round two as the top seed
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: playing the wild card winner.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: But.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Suffice to say that the Bears, the Lions, and the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Packers are of some interest to Seattle right now, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks get Chicago after the Chiefs come in here
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: on Sunday night, which is no sure layup for the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Seahawks either, obviously, the undefeated Chiefs. And Kenneth Walker. We've
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: been talking about Kenneth Walker all week. The Seahawks have
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: his job share partner from last year coming back to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: their lineup this weekend. How much is Zach Charbonnet going
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: to play? How many carries is he going to have?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: What's he ready for? How's he feeling health-wise nine months
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: after his knee ligaments tear in a playoff game? And
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: what's he expect? You'll hear from Zach Charbonnet next. 11 o'clock,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: our high school football showcase. All that's coming up on
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: a Washington State Beat Commission football Friday on 93.3 KJRFM.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: with Greg Bell on your home for the NFL. Sports
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: You know I wouldn't disappoint her.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I hope Ensign Bell is listening. She might be taking
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: a nap.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: She was on a red-eye from Honolulu last night.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Well, she can listen to the podcast.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Mark Morrison, return of the MAAC. 93.3 KJFM.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell, Jessamyn McIntyre with you on a Washington State
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Beef Commission Football Friday. Another big Football Friday. High school
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: football taking center stage tonight.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: In our state.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: The Huskies are off after consecutive Friday games the last
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: two weeks. The Cougs play tomorrow at home in Pullman.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The Army team, the Pride and Dreams.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Play tonight.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: 5.30 kickoff our time at Pulsa, that's a fact or
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: fiction pick of ours.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know I picked for Army, of course.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: Shocking.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, stunner there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: And then tomorrow, I said that college scene, locally it's
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the Cougs. Sunday, of course, you have to wait until
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Sunday night to get the Seahawks. 5-15 at Lumen Field.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: They're playing the Kansas City Chiefs, unbeaten at 5-0. The
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Seahawks yesterday put Zach Charbonnet on the active roster for
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the first time since he ripped out his knee in
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: mid-January in the divisional playoff game against San Francisco at
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Lumen Field. He had surgery on February 12th, reconstructive knee surgery.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And since that time, he's been on the physically unable
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: to perform list until now. He is now cleared to play,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: and it looks like the season debut will come against
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs on Sunday night.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: They need him.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: This offense and this running game, we're going to give
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you some numbers in the next segment about the outside
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: zone game with Jadarian Price on injured reserve, and it
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: is bleak.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And meanwhile, Kenneth Walker is romping. all over the heartland
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: for the Chiefs.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: What will Zach Chardonnay be able to do on Sunday?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: What's he expecting? What about his contract ending? This was
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: the running back yesterday outside the locker room at Seahawks headquarters.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: How do you feel right now?
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: I'm feeling pretty good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: I'm going a day at a time, just seeing how
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: it adapts with picking up practice, stuff like that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: Your coach said you had a pretty audacious goal when
• 23:45
  Speaker 14: you got hurt to come back.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: What was that goal? How soon did you set the
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: time to get back?
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I wouldn't say I had, like, any timeline, like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: set in stone, you know? But I did want to
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: be pretty aggressive in my rehab and stuff like that, so.
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, just whenever I felt good, but try to get
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: back as fast as I can.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: What do you think has allowed you to, you're only
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: eight months from surgery, you're knocking on the door, you're back.
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: What do you think has allowed you to recover this quickly?
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, you know, just the team I've had
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: around me and all the rehab and the work I've
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: put in and also all the effort and.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: The other people I've put into me too.
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: That's really allowed me to dial in on my plan
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: and to get it rolling.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: So yeah.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: After the last eight months, what is it going to
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: be like for you on Sunday, putting that jersey on
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: and being on the field?
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, like I said, just taking it in
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: a day at a time. But, you know, whenever I'm
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: out there, it's going to be special. I'm just going
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: to be happy to get back out there.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: What was the toughest part of this entire process? You know,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: obviously you're back faster than a lot of guys would be,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: but what was the toughest part in this long rehab period?
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think just being patient.
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: Obviously, it's still eight months, you know, so being patient
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: and just trusting in the plan and what that set
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: up for me.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: And, yeah, just attacking on it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: How do you make Sunday not bigger than it is
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: as just part.
• 25:05
  Speaker 12: Of the process of your rehab, you know what I mean,
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: attacking it, getting back on the field?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Well, is it?
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Maybe it is that.
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it's my fourth year, so I don't
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: make anything too big, bigger than it is. You know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: so I'm just happy to get back out there with
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: my guys. That's really what I'm focused on. but yeah,
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: it'll be, it'll be cool.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: And it's the home crowd, so that's got to add
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: to it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure. Is there a moment or a point
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: where you, at a stage in your rehab where you realized, hey,
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: I'm really making progress, I'm able to do this, I'm
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: able to cut, I'm able to accelerate, whatever it might
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: be that led you to think, hey, I might be
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: able to get back this quick.
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: Um, I mean, I wouldn't say so. I mean, I
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: kind of have to plan in mind, like, right after
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: surgery anyways, you know. Obviously all that stuff comes into account,
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: seeing how I'm feeling, like, during my progression and stuff
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: like that. But yeah, I mean, I felt good throughout
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: it all. I mean, just trusting God and the people
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: around me.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: What was the date of the surgery?
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: February 12th. 12? And who was it? Was it Dr. Calvino?
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: No.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Was it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: Hard watching the NFC title, Super Bowl, things like that
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: from the sidelines?
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: Man, I mean, yeah, obviously the injury was tough, but,
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: you know, it was just fun to be out there,
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: you know, and just watch the team go out there
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: and do.
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: What they did. So it was special to be a
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: part of that.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: This is a contract year for you.
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: How does that add to the urgency of getting back
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: and then maybe not trying to do too much when
• 26:44
  Speaker 14: you are back?
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: Honestly, I really haven't thought about it like that.
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: To be honest, I just want to get back out
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: there with the guys that I played with. So that's
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: really been my only goal.
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: A lot of times when players are coming back from
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: significant injuries like this, they say that the last hurdle
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: is just being able to have the confidence to go
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: out and be able to get hit.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: You obviously haven't.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Gotten hit yet, so.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: How are you feeling from that front heading into.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: This weekend, your readiness to.
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: Be able to go out there and get hit by guys?
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, like I said, I haven't really thought
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: about that too much. I just trust in God, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: at some point, you just got to take the step forward.
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: So I just got to trust in that and trust
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: in myself and go out there and play as fast
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: as I can.
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: What do you remember about the injury itself? What do
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: you remember about it, getting injured?
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: I mean, just feeling my knee going down, really. Um,
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: but yeah, I mean, initially I didn't even think it
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: was that, so, you know, but yeah, that's what.
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: This group are.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: What was your goal? Are you ahead of it? Are
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: you ahead of your expectation?
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: Um, I'll say I'm around, like, where I was thinking.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: October?
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, um, mid-October, around there, end of October, so early November, like,
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: all around.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: There, I mean.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like a wider range, just because you
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: never know. But yeah, that's kind of what I'm shooting for.
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: Are they planning to kind of ease you into things immediately,
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: or do you know kind of what the plan is.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Initially with you?
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, not really sure, to be honest.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday was your first full participation day in practice.
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: What kind of milestone was that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: For you, just to feel like you're getting close and
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: getting that extra rep load and all that as you.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Kind of work back into things here?
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean- I think that was just huge from
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: maybe my knee, just from my body in general, you know,
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: just because I haven't been doing all the, it's different
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: from just doing drills to actually going and integrating the
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: practice and stuff like that. So, yeah, I think it
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: was an important milestone to get to and to get
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: more used to and comfortable.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Is it a bigger step going from straight line to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: cutting and starting to do the lateral stuff or going
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: from lateral to football again?
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely the football setting, you know. Yeah, obviously there's
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: less rest and stuff like that. And then you're going
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: back to back.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: So, yeah, it's definitely a little bit different.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: You mentioned that patience is the hardest part. You know,
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: on the long days where it was hard to be patient,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: were there ways that you grounded yourself or things you
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: told yourself? Or what did you do to be able
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: to get through some of those hard times?
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, just more rehab, honestly. Just get rehabbing.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Did you do most of that up here in Seattle?
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: I was kind of between here and L.A., yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: How close do you remain with Kenneth Walker? What do
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: you miss about him? Yeah, I mean, that's my guy.
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: That's one of my best friends that was here. So, yeah,
• 29:29
  Speaker 14: we talk pretty often.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: What do you miss about him being.
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: Here?
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: Just him around the building, talking to him every day
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: and stuff like that. Yeah, for sure.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: What did it mean to you? He wrote your name.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: number on, I think, on his tape in the Super Bowl.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: When did you notice that, and what did that mean
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: to you?
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it meant a lot. I mean, it
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: just shows the brotherhood that we have and how close
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: we are.
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so I mean, it meant a lot.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: You were a pretty even-keeled guy.
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: Do you anticipate any additional emotion when you get back
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: out there on the.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Game day again?
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: No, I stayed. pretty neutral the same. I just be
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: who I am.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: And is it true you're missing the media?
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: That was Dave Pearson, the Vice President of Communications who
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: was standing behind us in the hall.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: He was having fun with that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Like I said, it's not that Charbonnet is rude or
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: mean or anything. You can hear it, but he just
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: would rather not do that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: There's plenty of players out there and you don't hear
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: from them because of that, but once you're a star,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: it's going to happen.
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: It's a necessary evil.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: You heard him say that the Seahawks have a plan
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: for him, and he's got to be patient and has
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: had to be patient throughout this process. Mike McDonald said
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: it was an audacious timeline that Sarbanet had for himself. Normally,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: it's an 8- to 12-month recovery for a reconstructive knee,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: so easy for me to say.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I've never had one. Jessamyn has. My wife has. They suck. Yeah, exactly.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the summation my wife had as well.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And my wife and Jessamyn were not running out on
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: an NFL field. with 250-pound guys flying at you, trying
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: to kill you.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: No, we were linear people.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: So suffice to say, he's not going to get all
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the carries he's going to get in this very first
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: game back. On Sunday night, I was on a Kansas
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: City radio show this morning, and they asked me, well,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: so is he going to start on Sunday? You think
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: he gets 15, 20? I was like, no, I don't
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: think that. I don't think that that would be smart
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: for the Seahawks, nor for Charbonnet. Remember, he's got a
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: long play here. He's trying to finish out this season
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: and impress somebody, the Seahawks or otherwise, and he's playing
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: for a contract next year. I would expect maybe six,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: eight carries max. How many carries do you think? How
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: many are you expecting? 4-9-4-5-1 on the Comodage text line.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: What are you expecting from Zach Charbonnet in his debut,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: which apparently will come Sunday night. That's not a sure-sure thing,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: but they sure need him, and I would think there
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: would be some role for him. I'm thinking six, eight carries.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: The other question I have for you in the text
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: line is, and I was asked this by Chuck this
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: morning at 7 o'clock, how many rushing yards do you
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: believe Kenneth Walker's going to run for Sunday night? He
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: asked me 75.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: A lower or over 75? That was his question to me.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Yards?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I said under because I think the Seahawks, to win
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: the game, have to do that.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Well, and they also have his number, you know. They
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: know how to defend against him. Can he run through
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: their plan, though?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: We may play.
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: I mean.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Send Jessamyn the audio of Byron Murphy yesterday talking about
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: that very thing, that they know how to tackle Walker
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: because they did it so much, training camps and practices,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and not actually bring him to ground, but they knew–
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I know how he runs. Exactly.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: And that's what makes him so unique is the style
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: of running that he has.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Murphy was making the point of because Walker is so
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: patient in the backfield waiting for blocks and picking a hole,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the trick is to get up the field vertically, beat
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: your guy at the line of scrimmage and get up
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the field vertically to ruin his vision in rushing lanes,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: to give him no options to see those lanes develop
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: and crash them before the lanes even start.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: That's what Murphy's task is on this.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: And Sunday night, you know the Chiefs are going to
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: double-team him, and you know that he's going to drop
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: to one knee and do that Turkish kettlebell get-up thing
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: where he punches his fist between two guys.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: He's amazing at that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Watch 91 in royal blue and silver pants on Sunday
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: night against a double-team. It's really unique how quick and
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: fast and strong he is to get up off the
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: ground off one knee.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: How many on the Tacoma Dodgers' text line? 4-9, 4-5-1.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: How well do you think Mike McDonald's defense is going
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: to live at the Super Bowl MVP?
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: 35 straight games the Seahawks have not allowed a 100-yard
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: rusher dating to the October of Mike McDonald's first season
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: with the Seahawks when James Cook went for 100-plus with
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: the Bills here in Seattle. That's the last time. The
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: very first season McDonald was here. That's the matchup Sunday night.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: If you boil it down to how the Seahawks can win,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: hold Walker down like no other team has held him
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: down this year. Make the Chiefs get in third and long,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: drop out of under center, and make Mahomes throw when
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks know he has to throw. And then the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Chiefs will be different than they've been all year. They've
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: been playing from the front. They haven't trailed. They haven't
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: been in situations where teams know they have to throw.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: And as Sam McDowell told us in front of the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Star, they've played really weak teams, honestly. They've
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: played the Raiders, the Colts, the Chargers. They have beaten
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the Broncos, but other than that, they have played weak teams,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: and he said this will be their toughest test defensively.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: The key to the game, how can they bottle up
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: and how much will they bottle up Kenneth Walker to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: change how Kansas City plays offense? That's the key to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Sunday night's game. My story on that is at 933KGR. com
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: up right now. Up next, let's go into the numbers
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: of outside zone to quantify how much the Seahawks are
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: missing Jadarian Price and how well... Kenneth Walker is doing
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: it in Kansas City. The numbers are really, really telling.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock, we'll have high school football focus. Bellevue, Mount Si,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: the big showdown in Snoqualmie tonight for first place in
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: their division in the King Co.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: Crown.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: That's all coming up on 93.3 KJRFM.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: with Greg Bell on your home for the NFL. Sports
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Welcome back.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Another big football weekend on 93.3 KJR FM. The Huskies
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: are off. They're not playing this week. The Cougs play
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night. 21st ranked Boise State in Pullman, 3 p.m.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Kickoff.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: USA Network on television and on Washington State Cougars radio
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: network that Jessamyn McIntyre will be on the sidelines for.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: We've got Kraken coming up tomorrow night at home against
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Minnesota here on 93.3 KJRFM. Seven wins in their first
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: 11 games, the best 11 games start in franchise history.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: 7 p.m. puck drop tomorrow night with Everett Fitchew, 6.30 pregame.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Kraken in Minnesota here on 93.3 KJRFM. And then Sunday night,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are hosting the Kansas City Chiefs, the 5-0
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Chiefs against the 3-3 Seahawks.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Lumenfield, 5-15 kickoff.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Zach Charbonnet is on the active roster to play, but
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to get more than six
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: or eight carries, which means that we're going to get
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: more of Emmanuel Wilson, the supposed short yardage running back
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: who has been cast into a role he wasn't supposed
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to be here for when they signed him from Green
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Bay this offseason. It means more of George Helani, who's
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: really a special teams player and a third-down blocking back.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: And it means that Kenneth Walker is coming in as
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the NFL's leading rusher, 665 yards, which is more rushing
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: yards than any Seahawks. The total Seahawks rushing, there's been
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: nine guys carry the ball this year for Seattle. In
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: six games, they have fewer yards combined than one Kenneth
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Walker has in five games with the Chiefs. It's the
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: most yards rushing for a running back, ever in NFL
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: history in the first five games with a new team,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: 665 for Kenneth Walker. He's playing 75% of the snaps
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: for Andy Reid and the Chiefs.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: And here are the numbers. They are striking.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: When I was on the roundtable yesterday with Chuck and Hugh,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks roundtable every Thursday morning, 8 to 9 here
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: on KGR, Hugh brought up these numbers for outside and
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: inside the tackle running.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Which of course speaks to outside zone, the Seahawks run.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker this season is averaging 6.9 yards per rush
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: in outside zone, 7 yards a carry when he runs
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: outside the tackles, 8.9 yards a carry when he cuts
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: it back inside the tackles.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: So remember those numbers.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: 7 yards a carry.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Running outside the tackles. Emmanuel Wilson for Seattle.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: In the same outside zone system in which Walker is
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: thriving in Kansas City, Wilson is rushing for 3.2 yards.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Per rush in outside zone.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: And when he runs outside the tackles, Emmanuel Wilson is
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: averaging 2.1 yards per carry.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Five yards per carry fewer.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Than does Kenneth Walker when he runs outside the tackles.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: When Price, Jadarian Price, before he got injured in his
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: three games, is averaging outside the tackles when he runs
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: from outside the tackles to the sideline, Jadarian Price is
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: averaging 8.6 yards per carry. That's what the Seahawks are
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: missing with Price on injured reserve. They are putting a
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys in that role who are not trained
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: for it. It'd be like a Broadway play putting a
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: bunch of elementary school kids, pulling them out of recess.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: And saying, hey, come on and do Macbeth. They are
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: a cast in the wrong production.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: Well, they weren't thrown into those roles. So now they're
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: just learning on the fly.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Correct. And they don't have the skill set for it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson is a third down short yardage inside running back.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: He is not a stretch play wide zone back. We
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: saw in Denver how many times I could see it
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: from the press box in Denver. The holes and lanes
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: were there. And the timing of the play was ruined
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: by the fact the back didn't get there in time.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: He was not fast enough laterally to get to the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: outside zone rushing lanes that the linemen were blocking for him.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And by the time Wilson arrived a half a second
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: or a second late, the hole was gone. And instead
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: of an eight-yard run, he got a one-yard run. And
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: that turns... Third and threes and third and twos into
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: third and nines and third and tens. And that's what
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: gets your offense going nowhere and gets the defense piling
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: on the quarterback and pressuring Sam Darnold into seven interceptions
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: the last four games. When Price was at, yes, he
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: fumbled twice in two games, and that's what got him
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: benched for swaths of that last week three at Washington.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: But in the three games Price played, 8.9 yards per
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: carry rushing outside the tackles. You don't think they miss him?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: The decision to let Kenneth Walker sign with Kansas City
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: looks a hell of a lot worse because Jadarian Price
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: is on injured reserve. If Price was not on injured reserve,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: this conversation would not be nearly as striking as it
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: is without him. So I'm here to say, I hear
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of people saying, well, he's fragile, he's a bust.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Jadarian Price is not a bust. He fits the system.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: They drafted him in the first round for the reason
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: that he is decisive and fast to the outside for
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: outside zone. And they truly believe that in the wide.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Zone system that John Benton and blocking system that they've installed,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the reason they hired Brian Fleury to continue what Clint
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Kubiak started, is that Jadarian Price fits that. Well, he's
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: been on injured reserve and won't return until at least
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: the Bears game November 2nd, if that. This week, by
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: the way, we asked Mike McDonald about, hey, what's up
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: with Price? And he said, eh, I don't know.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Nothing new.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Either he's not one to reveal or he doesn't know
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: because the progress hasn't been great.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: He's got an upper rib injury.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I would think if he was.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Progressing, we'd hear a little bit more about it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: A little bit more like we did with Zach.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Because we were kept informed on Zach's progress. And I
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: don't think that we're... Yeah, he was very, very nondescript
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: on that. And I don't think that was playing chess.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I don't either.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I do think... it's not a guarantee, even though he's
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: eligible to, after missing four games, come back November 2nd,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: that Jadarian Price will be on the field against the
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Bears a week from Monday.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: That'll be the story of next week.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: And also the story of next week will be how
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Zach Charbonnet comes out of this game on Sunday. How
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: many carries he gets, how many snaps he gets, and
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: how he responds to it. A reconstructed knee playing for
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: the first time in nine months. The after is as
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: big as the during to see how he responds to
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: the performance on Sunday night and how that affects him
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: going forward. It does help that they have an extra
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: day off before they play a Monday night game against
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the Bears following this Chiefs game. 49451, I've already said,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: how do you think the Seahawks' defense will fare against
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker?
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: I see a couple people say 180 total yards. Chiefs romp. Yeah,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: if he gets 180 total yards, the Chiefs are roughing.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Up next, our Washington State Beef Commission Football Friday features
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: our high school football focus we do every Friday. The
• 42:05

  Speaker 2: on a 53-man roster, the active roster off the pup list.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: That has them poised to make a season debut at
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: running back Sunday night versus the undefeated Chiefs. A couple
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: edge defenders were limited by new injury issues in practice yesterday.

  Speaker 2: Kraken won for the seventh time in 11 games to

  Speaker 2: begin the season. This is their best start in franchise

• 43:49

• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Airlines Arena. Washington State and Washington are playing college basketball
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: in an exhibition game.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: How the hell do they not get a game together
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: that counts?
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: They play in West Texas University, Missouri Valley State, and
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: they can't put Washington State-Washington in a game that matters?
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: Well, think about the student-athletes, Greg, because of course the
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: NCAA does that.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: That's on the schools. They control their scheduling.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: They do.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: And that's probably on the University of Washington, frankly.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have the upper hands when it comes to that, yes.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: But they're playing an exhibition game at 1 o'clock on Sunday.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: And we will have that, by the way, on 9.50 a.m.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Thanks. On the 9.50 a.m.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Side, Washington State, Washington, exhibition in college basketball Sunday at
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: 1 p.m.
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: Exhibition.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: That's just crazy.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Those two should always play each other, period of the story,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: a home-and-home every season, one in Seattle, one in Pullman.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Come on. It's Friday.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: That's a big high school football. This is football.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: This is football.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: This is a Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: This crowd is going nuts.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Football Fridays are brought to you by Washington's Beef Farmers

  Speaker 2: That means it's high school football showcase time. We do
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: this every Friday at 11 o'clock, showcasing two coaches, two programs,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: and a big game of the week. And tonight we
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: go to Snoqualmie. Mount Sai is hosting Bellevue. Big King Co.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Crown South Division matchup of two first-place teams. They're both 6-1.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: They're both 4-0 in the league. Bellevue, of course, is
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: defending state runner, a perennial state championship contender.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Mount Si, I.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Did officiate their game a couple weeks ago. They've got
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: a powerhouse team. They are strong, big, and they can
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: throw the ball around the yard, too. So we have
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: live on the air the two coaches in tonight's game.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Michael Kneipp, he's a former Washington State offensive lineman, Bellevue
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: High graduate, now coaching his alma mater, well into his
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: tenure leading the Wolverines. And Don Bartel, Mount Si, will
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: join us right after we talk to Coach Kneipp of Bellevue. Coach,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: thanks for joining us on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline on
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: a game day.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to hear from you, and thanks again.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: I'll just say right off the top, thanks for all
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: you do for the youth in developing young men in
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: sports and ready for college and the rest of life.
• 46:52
  Speaker 11: I really appreciate it and fired up to be here.
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: I was telling some other day that I used to
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: listen to these shows as a kid, driving back from
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: my high school games with my dad. Tons of fond
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: memories of KJR and Softie and everything, too.
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: Again, a huge blessing and honor to be here.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that, sir.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: You got five straight wins now for Bellevue. You've beaten
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Eastlake skyline handily. You beat Linden Christian who came down
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: to Bellevue to play you. Your only loss this season
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: was at powerhouse state power Puyallup. What'd you learn from
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that loss? A rare early season, regular season loss for Bellevue.
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I know it was great learning experience.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: And we're all out challenging, challenging ourselves early on the season.
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: And like kids are young.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: And so you learn much kids, you know, kind of, uh,
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: do their own thing underneath the lights, but really as
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: a coach, like what I needed to get better at.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: And I think getting those.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: State championship level teams in competition early in the season
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: is invaluable.
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: And so, you know, I learned a ton and other
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: coaches learned a ton. There's areas that we can improve
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: to coach these kids differently because every team is so unique.
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: You know, these are 15, 16, 17, 18 year old kids.
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: And if they're 16, 17, they're different than they are
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: when they're 15. So it was a really good opportunity
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: for us as coaches to grow.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Coach Kniep of Bellevue High School here on the Beacon
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Plumbing Hotline, former University of Washington offensive lineman. You took
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: the job at your alma mater. You won state titles
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: with Bellevue, of course. He's done that as a player
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: and as a coach. And then you took over the
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: job at age 24. You're now 32. You're an old man.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: You're a dad.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: You've got kids. How have you changed as a coach
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: from when you first started eight years ago as a 24-year-old, Michael,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: and now as a dad? And how did fatherhood change
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: how you coach young men?
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, my first couple teams, you know, when I first
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: started at 24, I feel bad.
• 48:40
  Speaker 11: For those kids looking back at it, right?
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: Like just coming out of college and then, you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: being under Coach Peterson there and like just the level
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: of football and expectation I had for kind of like
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: what I said earlier, 15-year-old boys was probably too high.
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: And I wasn't as empathetic. But, you know, being a
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: dad and a husband and a son to such a
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: great family is the biggest honor and privilege of my life.
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: And so I think, you know, just becoming a dad
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: and a father just made me, again, more empathetic, understanding
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: that kids are parents' most valuable asset in the entire
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: world kind of just gives you a different perspective, but
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: then also kind of grounds you on, you know, how
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: important the work is that you do.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Do.
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: And I always tell these boys, like, I'm making sure,
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: you know, I have two year olds, I'm a girl dad,
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: like that there are great men out there that would
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: be high enough quality to date or marry my daughter someday.
• 49:31
  Speaker 11: And so to be able to do that year in
• 49:33
  Speaker 11: and year out, you know, it's been an amazing journey.
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: But yeah, nine years into it, I've definitely changed a
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: lot in my delivery and my empathy towards the kids.
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: And this is loving on them more now that I
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: have my own.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Wait till your daughters are 16, 15 and attending Bellevue
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: High School. What a challenge that'll be for you with
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: your boys if you're still coaching them. That might be fun.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Michael Kadai, the head coach of Bellevue High School. the
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: perennial state power. He's a grad of the Wolverines. I
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: wanted to ask you about your style of offense in particular.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: It's so signature, so unique. Everyone knows a double wing,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: the misdirection, the confusion in the backfield. It's been doing
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: it since you played and before Butch Gondoroff, all of that.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: How important was it for you to maintain that style
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: of offense? And then specifically, how do you train for it?
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Do you do different kind of conditioning? Do you do
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: different lateral drills? What is your specific chain without revealing
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: house secrets? to train the Bellevue style of playing.
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: Well, what I, you know, I kind of, you already
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: mentioned like.
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: Ivy football is a, a life teaching platform for me
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: as a coach.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 50:43
  Speaker 8: And I think that our offense is kind of what
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: I want the world to reflect, which is regardless of
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: your size, speed, talent, you.
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: Can do your job. And if you can do your job, well,
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: you can be really successful.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 50:55
  Speaker 11: And so, You know, growing up in the program, that's
• 50:57
  Speaker 11: all I knew.
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: And then obviously going to UW, you start to understand,
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: you know, some of the past concepts and spreads. And
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: I was really blessed to play under great coaches there. But,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: you know, in high school, you don't control. You don't
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: always get a Steve Schilling or a Dave DeCastro as
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: an offensive lineman. And you don't always have a Buda
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: Baker as a running back, right? But the system you
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: can execute with, you know, a bunch of average Joes.
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: And I think that, you know, our program, regardless of
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: the talent level and the superstars that I just rattled off,
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: has had like 30 years of success because the system
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: is the system and you don't, you don't need amazing
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: athletes to be able to execute.
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: And do your job.
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: You know, this is the time I've been here, like
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: these two years that we've won state championships are probably
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: two of the most under talent teams I've had, but
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: the offense works because the discipline and the toughness of
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: the kids and the day in and day out work.
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: And so I'm obviously a huge believer in the offense and,
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, more so the older I get because we
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: haven't had much of a drop off in the nine
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: years I've had. And it's because the system really works.
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: And we have amazing coaches and the kids really buy
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: into it. But it's been really fun kind of to
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: be able to have that perspective as a coach.
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: You know, if you get.
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: Four yards to carry, right, three times four is 12.
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: So the math equation always makes the most sense in
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: my head.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Tonight's big game in Mount Sai for first place in
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: the King Co and for playoff seating, of course, here
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: that starts in a couple of weeks. what's the key
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: to beating Mount Sai and what Coach Bartle's got going
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: on out there? And what do you like about your
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: team so far that makes you think they're up to
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: the challenge tonight?
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, first off, Mount Sai is an amazing program, and
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: they've been amazing since I played them in high school,
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: even well before that. And I think it's one of
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: the most unique places to play a high school football
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: game in the state and the country.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: It's stunning.
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: You go out there in the sunset, you have those mountains,
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: it's almost like there's no place you'd rather be. And
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: Coach Bartell has obviously had an amazing track record of
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: career success and really has them playing with a ton
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: of energy, enthusiasm. And they're, you know, what you'd expect
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: from Mountside, big, strong, fast, disciplined, tough, right? Kind of
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: all the things that, you know, you look for in
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: a program to be great. And so it's a huge challenge, right?
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: Especially going up there with that environment environment. And I
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: know that they'll be completely ready to go. And, you know,
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: it's kind of been a longstanding rivalry, right? Even back
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: to when I was playing there, you know, against them,
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: they were always really good and talented and physical, which
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: makes things really challenging. But our guys, you know, are awesome.
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: Our guys are going to have a lot of fun.
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: They're still young. You know, we have a ton of
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: juniors playing. But I think our senior leadership is starting
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: to pick up. And so, you know, it's all about
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: just trusting the process and getting better every single week
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: and controlling the things that we can control. especially in
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: a hostile environment for a high school game. But just
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: going out there and having as much fun as possible
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: is always the goal.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Coach, Michael Knight, Bellevue High School. Appreciate you, sir, for
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: what you do for our kids. Enjoy the game tonight,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: and best of luck on the season.
• 53:57
  Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you so much.
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: It's truly an honor and privilege to be able to
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: talk to everybody. It should be.
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: A lot of fun.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Michael Knight, former Washington Husky offensive lineman in his eighth
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: year coaching Bellevue. He's heading into Snoqualmie tonight. He and
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: his Wolverines are playing Mount Sai. Also 6-1. Also 4-0
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: in the King Co. Crown South Division. Coach Don Bartel,
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: a legend there in Snoqualmie, joins us on the Beacon
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Plumbing Hotline on this Washington State Beef Commission Football Friday. Sir,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: thanks a lot for joining us on a game day.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: I know you have a few ten other things to
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: do than talk to me right now.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: But thanks for joining us.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: And just give us a flavor of what this rivalry
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: that Coach Kniep was just talking about, Bellevue and Mount Sinai, means.
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: Well, it's, it's funny because it goes long beyond my
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: time here. And actually even my time in the King
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: co being a four a head coach for so long,
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: you just kind of watched it happen and talk to
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: the staff. And there've been a lot of great mountainside
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: teams that have run through here and they, and Bellevue
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: had some really, really good games and, and some meaningful ones, uh, semifinals,
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: I think in like 2012, um, And it's a good one.
• 55:08
  Speaker 7: There are a lot of people out here that this
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: is a big game for. And most notably, some of
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: them are parents who went to Newport back in the
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: day when Newport was really, really good. And so it's
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: been kind of fun to watch this thing grow over
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: the last three or four years that I've been here.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: You've been an assistant coach, a coordinator, and now a
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: head coach, long time in the program. How do you
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: think that's helped you shape young men and how you
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: teach and coach, having coached and come up through the
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: ranks and learned it from all angles?
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: Well, I would say that, like, for me, I've always
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: said that I've had mentors I did not deserve. And
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: so a lot of what I'm trying to do is
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: just fulfill the obligation to pay back what I was
• 55:50
  Speaker 7: given and I don't know why I was so lucky
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: that the first guy that ever hired me was Dave Lutz,
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: the Kentwood legend, the guy who started that program back
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: in the late 80s. I don't know why I got
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: a chance to work with Steve Jervis in 2002 or
• 56:02
  Speaker 7: Mike Price later that year or Bill Dolba for the
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: next two years after that. I've been with some really
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: great people who have kind of just shown me the way.
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: And then I got a chance to go back to
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: Eastlake in 2013 and and be the head coach there
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: for almost 10 years. It was all about paying back
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: the people of that community. And in 2013, I moved
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: out here to the Valley, Snoqualmie Valley, and loved living here.
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: And so around COVID time, when I took a break
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: to jump in with a startup company, I just thought
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: if I ever came back to coaching and teaching, Mount
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: Si would be the place that I'd want to be.
• 56:40
  Speaker 7: And so that opportunity opened up in 2023 when the
• 56:44
  Speaker 7: longtime D coordinator retired from football. And so I jumped
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: in and had a great group. And this group that
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: is the senior group, that is our 24 guys who
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: are leading this program, especially the guys in my position group,
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: the linebackers, And that's one of the big reasons why
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: when this job opened, I thought, I'm going to go
• 57:03
  Speaker 7: ahead and do this.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: A lot of long.
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: Conversation at home, my family, about jumping back in it
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: again and all that it entails, especially when you want.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: To do things the way we do them.
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: But I have loved every second of it because I
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: just love this group.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: What is the way Mountside does it? And give people
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: an example. I know what coaches do and the hours
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: they spend. Give me a typical day in the life
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: of Don Bartel, the head coach at Mountside, when you start,
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: when you get home.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: And what are you trying to do? What's the main
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: overarching point that you're trying to get across to your guys?
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: You know, I feel like as leaders, our job is
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: to create experiences. In fact, I talked about this in
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: leadership classes yesterday, that what I'm trying to do all
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: the time is create an experience for our staff. So
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: then they can create experiences for our athletes and they
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: can go through the things they need to to build
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: the capacity. So for me, yesterday I was up at
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: 430 or 530. making sure that practice was scripted. We
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: go full pads on Thursday, take Wednesday notepads, and then
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: Tuesday our full pads. We only get two days a week.
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: And so I wanted to make sure the script was set,
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: that we see everything that our guys need to see
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: and the experience in the different position groups. Get to
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: school in the morning, and I teach two leadership classes.
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: We had to wrap up homecoming and talk about what's
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: next for the winter. Then I teach a social media
• 58:24
  Speaker 7: marketing class, and we had the Empower Youth Organization in
• 58:27
  Speaker 7: talking about how Our group is going to be able
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: to help them with their social media marketing plan. And
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: then I finish out the day with a crazy lunch
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: where I'm handling phone calls and recruiters and working through
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: little minor issues through the day. My list of maybe
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: some kids that weren't on their best behavior in class
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: during the day. And then I finished with my two
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: leadership classes and head back out. We had team dinner
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: last night, so we stayed until probably about six o'clock
• 58:53
  Speaker 7: and then get home and turn on the huddle and
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: watch our freshman team. play their game last night and
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: try to spend time with my family, even though my
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: wife is like, you're here, but you're not always here.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: So, yeah.
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: And then on Saturday mornings, I get to go watch
• 59:09
  Speaker 7: my son play football. And every day, my daughter's out
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: here filming practice. So we mix in the family time
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: when we can. But it's definitely fun serving your community
• 59:19
  Speaker 7: right where you live and the friends and people that
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: you know. That's the best part.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: Coach Don Bartel, we have a text on the Tacoma
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Dutch text line, 49451. It's from the 425- I was
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: on the 2013 team with Coach Bartel. Guy can get
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: you to run through a wall. That must make you
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: feel good.
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: You know, it's funny because there are lots of opinions.
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: You do this long enough. This is like year 30
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: for me. Shout out to Tom Banner coaching the 300th
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: game tonight. By the way, that is one heck of
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: an accomplishment.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: After 30 years.
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: It's funny that We're preparing for wing T and they're
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: preparing for, I think, triple options. So Tom's coaching against
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: what he probably.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 9: Did 30 years ago.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: But I think over the 30 years, it's like a lot,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: there are a lot of opinions about you. And I
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: think the opinions that matter are most are probably the
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: 30 year old men who played for me when they
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: were 15, 16, 17 years old. And I think that's
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: the long-term stuff that you get when you kind of
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: flip the script on your career, when you get over
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: whatever that tipping point is, where you start to look
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: at the long game. And I mean, I told a
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: kid yesterday after practice, he needed some memory enhancement about
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: how to behave.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: And so we went through.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: That. I think it's going to be difficult for you
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 7: to understand this, but this is me caring about you.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: At some point, you have to change the way you
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 7: see yourself so you can start acting in accordance with
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 7: the expectations we have. And that's what I want for you.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: And so we're going to keep reminding you until that happens.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: And so it's great to have those guys out there.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: Those guys in 2013 now are coaching against me. Wrote
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: a letter of recommendation so Peyton Puller could beat me
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 7: every year.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: That's Skyline High School.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: That's part of the joy of this too. I think
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: depending on how you look at it, There are four
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: or five guys that coached on our staff and for
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: me that are now head coaches. And that to me
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: is like the greatest thing ever because of how people
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: poured into me. It just always feels good to know
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 7: that there are guys that choose to be head coaches
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: because of the example that they've seen from you or
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: from somewhere else.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: That's really cool. Coach Don Bartel, Mountside High School. Let
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: me ask you in closing related to that. In 10,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: 20 years, when a player from the Mount Sai High
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: School class of 2026 comes back and says thanks, or
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: even says hi, or maybe just looks at.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: You, what do you hope he remembers most about.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Working for and playing for and being under the leadership
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: of Coach Don Bartel at Mount Sai?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: I can tell you that I went to the 20-year
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: reunion of my first group at Eastlake in 05-06, and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 7: I asked them that question.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: What do you remember?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: And I think probably for as long as I live,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 7: this will be the answer I want. They said, I
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: felt loved. Yeah, that's probably the best part about the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: whole thing is knowing that you can say it, but
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 7: when you show it, that is the best thing in
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: the world. I think these kids play hard out here
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 7: because they were born and raised in the valley. Like
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: this group has been together since they were in sixth
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 7: or seventh grade. And there is a love. Are they talented?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 7: Heck yeah, they're talented. And you've seen us, so you
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: know how hard they play.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: And there's a lot there that other teams don't have
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: because those kids don't grow up together and ours do.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: And so there's already a love here. I just want
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: them to make sure that through all of the difficulties–
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: of all of the frustrations, of all the dialing them in,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: especially in year one of this version of the program,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: all those hard times, those are all love.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: And they know that in the end, whenever.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: They need something, we're there. So I hope one of
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: the things they remember too is, that they can coach
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: for me anytime they want. So I hope when they
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: come back in 10 years, they remember how we do things.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: Cause we're going to need guys that can tell those
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: stories of like why this is important because they've not
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: only used it in football, but they've used it in
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: other places in their lives.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Love that's, that's pretty, that's pretty special. Thank you, sir,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: for all you do. Coach Don Bartel, Mount Sinai High School,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: thank you for what you do. Thanks for the time
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: you put in. Thanks for setting an example for young
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: adults and trying to make them better people in our society.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 11: Thanks.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 7: Don't let anybody say that I'm an example. I have
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: some rough patches here and there, but I'll take all
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: the rest of that. And I do want to say
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: thank you. As everything else around high school football coverage dies,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: high school sports coverage dies, the fact that we get
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: to do this with you on a Friday morning– You
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: are doing great things, and I cannot tell you how

  Speaker 12: guys since you took over. Doing awesome. Also, just wanted
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 12: to add in, love the way that yesterday, Hugh Millen
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 12: and Greg went back and forth. This is how I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 12: believe all interaction, all debate should be, political, analysts or otherwise.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 11: It was done with tact, it was respectful. And it
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 11: was it had integrity. It was wonderful.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 12: I love the way you guys go back and forth
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 12: while still being able to respect each other's opinions.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 11: I think it's great.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: Can I say something about that real quick?
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: It's great that he said that because Hugh texted me
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: right after the roundtable was over and said, hey, I
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: really appreciate how we disagreed, but we respected each other
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: on this.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: It was about the decision for Kenneth Walker to. And,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: of course, it's obvious they made a mistake. And Hugh
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: was pointing out how huge a mistake that was. And
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: I was trying to give the Seahawks perspective as to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: why they did it and how it was consistent with
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: what Schneider had done in the other 12 of 15
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: years post-Marshawn Lynch. But we did it, and I tried
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: to do it in a way that didn't say that
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: Hugh was full of beans.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: He's right.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: It was a mistake.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: But anyway, we listened.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: I just appreciate that talk back because that's exactly what Hugh.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: And I thought. So thank you.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 6: Yes. Okay.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: You are a validated listener because that's how the men
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: involved felt.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 6: Hey, guys.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I was so excited for the Seahawks to
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: get Fleury after seeing what he did with Kittle.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 11: But, jeez, you forgot we have a tight end, too?
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 11: I swear, he calls plays like my 8-year-old nephew does
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 11: in Madden.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: Throw it to one player.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 11: Just throw it to him. That's all we need to do.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 11: One player. That's it. It's getting frustrating.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 8: Honestly, he needs to remember we have other players on
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 8: the team, too, that can touch the ball and catch it, too,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 8: and play.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: Madden.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 12: I don't know if I'm allowed to do more than
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 12: one of these. But realistically, guys, I know we got
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: to root for our Seahawks. But what are the odds? Jessamyn, Greg,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 12: what do you think the odds are that we actually
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 12: come in or Kansas City comes in and we get
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: this done? I know if any defense can do it,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: it should be ours. But I'm still worried. I'm just
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 12: curious what the percentage ratio in your guys' mind is. Also,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 12: on a side note, Jessamyn, I think you're very pretty.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: I did not know that.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, oh.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: How do you know what I look like?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought she edited these.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: I actually did not know that.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: Her face is as red as the KJR logo right now.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: That's just my natural blush coming through.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: I did not know that was the end of it.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Is that caller's name Mike? That's Mike at Edmonds.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: I recognize his voice. I saw that there were no
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: swear words, and that was the last one to come in,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: so I was like, oh, he's got a good opinion.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: I told you the bar was low. That's awesome.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: That needs to be a cut or whatever you guys
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: call it in radio world.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: I would just say thank you.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: A drop, a drop.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: You are really nice.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: Where's Jackson when we need him? That's a drop.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: That was really nice. That was just really nice.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Her face is so red. It's awesome. Now's your chance
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: to win $ 1, 000 right now.

• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long for that to happen.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, just so you know, we can see the transcription,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: but my name doesn't necessarily go into all of them.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: It comes up as like... sesame sometimes and stuff. And
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: if I see there wasn't a swear word and it
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: has a good opinion about football, I'm putting it in.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: So that, and no, I was not aware it was
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: On the YouTube, you can't see when she doesn't talk, right?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: Because it's voice activated.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have it on right now.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: When Jessamyn heard that comment, she just, she turned white
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: as snow and.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Red as the devil in a span of about 10 seconds.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. She had this look on her face like, oh.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: Well, as long as you like the show enough to
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: figure out what I look like, I'll say thank you.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: And also, thanks for being nice about it.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm surprised it took this long for
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: someone to say.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: That live on the air. That was awesome.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, I know you're getting a kick out of it.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: I am getting a kick out of it. It's not wrong.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: No, it was very nice.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: He's not wrong. I just can't believe it took this
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: long for that to happen. All right, here's your chance
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: to win $ 1, 000 from the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going over to the Palouse. The 21st-ranked Boise State
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Broncos are rolling. Their offense, they scored 27 against Oregon,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: and they lost barely. 34-27 to Eugene to start the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: season when Oregon was ranked number two. Since then, Boise
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: State's gone 38 on Memphis, 38 on South Dakota.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: South Dakota?
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: 32 on Western Michigan, 37 at Utah State, and 38
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: at Fresno last week.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: That's not really South Dakota and Western, man. What are
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: they doing playing now?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is reconfigured Pac-12 Conference. I know.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: Scheduling was catch-as-catch-can. Eshleman's getting a second start for the Cougs.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: The over-under in this game is 53-and-a-half. I'm not sure
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: Eshelman's going to score 30 points like he did late,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: 20 of his 30 points late like he did against
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: the Beavs and Corvallis. That game was over 27-10 at
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: the half, and the Cougs scored their points in the
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: second half at the game they decided.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: So I'm going under. 53.5 points.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: I think Boise State and Washington State combined for fewer
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: than 53. If you agree, text FACT to 49451. If
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: you disagree, text FICTION to 49451. You have 12 minutes,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: and after which time, The next chance will be 235
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: with Ian Furness. Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Your chance
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: to win $ 1, 000. We'll draw Monday all the winners from
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: this week. Boise State at Washington State. 3 p.m. in
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: the Palouse tomorrow at Martin Stadium. 53.5 total points. I
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: say the under. I say that Washington State holds down
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: the Broncos a little bit and Eshelman doesn't have the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: success he had late against the Beavs, against the top Pac-10,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Pac-12 team right now in Boise State.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: It's a formidable opponent.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Like, it really is. So this is not going to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: be an easy matchup for the Cougs, no matter what.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: But I do like that you think that the under, like,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: Kind of hold them down and maybe not be a
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: boat race. And Eshelman.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe not being as prolific as he was in the
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: second half at Oregon State when that game was decided.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: Also, there's one tape on him.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: And even if it's a 31-21 game, that would still
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: be an under. You know what I mean? That's what
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking here. So I'm taking the under of 53.5
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: at Poison State at Washington State. If you agree, text
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: FACT to 49451. If you disagree, text FICTION to 49451.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: There's no talkback or Tacoma Dodge text line text that
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: can be better than what we just heard on the talkback.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: Greg is taking too much joy and me not being
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: good at taking compliments.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: Fantastic joy. 425 says, happy Friday, guys. The high school
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: football segment continues to impress. I appreciate that. And that's
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: why we do it, but appreciate that. Matt, for a
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: friend of the station, 425, thank you for carrying the
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: torch on coverage of high school sports in our state.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: We love listening to recaps with Fane. You do a
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: great job with the coaches' interviews at Friday mornings. My
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: son plays for Coach Bartell at Mount Si High School,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: and he raves about his love and leadership on and
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: off the field.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: We're lucky to have him. What a great interview. I
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: appreciate hearing from the parents.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: Both of them, too.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Matt. Yeah, Michael, can I vote for Bellevue? That
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: was a really good segment. If you missed it, go
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: to the iHeartRadio app or 923kjrs. com, the Greg Bell Show podcast.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: You can download it. Keith253. com. Tacoma High School football in
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: the 80s helped me find a different path in life.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: I never went pro, but I did learn discipline, structure, respect, competition,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: and teamwork.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Just a few life skills.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: God bless these coaches teaching far more than spirals and
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: coverage techniques. Well said, Keith.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: And we're going to continue to do it. And this
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: was Greg's idea to do this. Just so you all know,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: Greg is the one who has championed this, and I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: was wholeheartedly supporting it. And I have learned so much
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: from these coaches. And it brings me back to the
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: days of, you know, when I was a kid and
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: my dad was a coach and knowing how much sacrifice
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: they give to both their families as well as to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: the field and to trying to grow young men. And
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: this is outside of. Your home life, a lot of
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: them are also teachers. A lot of them are spending
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: a lot of time in the classroom doing leadership things
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: and then coaching. That's a lot of their lives. And
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: it is a family sport. I always say football is family.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: So I like that we're doing this on this show.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: And, you know, honestly, I did it and I wanted
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: to start it because I want the kids and high
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: school athletes and youth athletes in our area to know
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: we care and we notice and we appreciate them. I
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: think they get lost, and I think they think that
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: adults don't sometimes care, and we're in a pro sports town,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: and all we talk about are Huskies and Seahawks and Mariners,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: and we notice. I'm out there on Friday nights. I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: see there's kids that are great. They come up to me,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: and they thank me for being there. I was at
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: a JV game at Edmonds, Woodway, and Shorecrest the other night.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, in my back of the woods.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and kids came up. The losing team came up
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: to me after the game in the handshake line as
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: I was coming off the field with my crew, and
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: they came up to me and said, ref, thanks for
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: being here. Appreciate you coming out and supporting us. Come on.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: 15 year old kid. Yeah.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is why I do this.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: So that we want to shine a spotlight on all
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: of you, the parents who all the hours you do
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: spend and sending them to driving them to weightlifting sessions
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: and packing their lunches at six in the morning for
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: early practice and going to their games in the rain.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: And especially the coaches. We know you don't make money.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: You're not doing it for that. You're doing it for
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: the kids, the communities, or maybe because it was done
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: to you and passing it on like, Like Coach Bartell said.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: So thank you to all of you.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: I've gotten texts from fellow officials, from parents, from friends
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: of mine, just on our latest segment with Don Bartell
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: and Michael Kniep. So thanks to all of you supporting
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: high school sports. We'll do our best. Coach Bartell brought
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: up a great point. It's dwindling. The resources and the
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: commitment and journalism and high school sports is dwindling. So
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: we're trying to do our part. Dick Fane does it
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: at 10 o'clock every Friday night with our high school
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: scoreboard show as well. I'm 10 o'clock here on 93.3.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Up next, Ian Furness, the mayor of Maple Valley, to
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: tell us what he's got on his show for a Friday.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: It's usually Greg Cosell for sure, which is a can't miss.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Ian's up next on 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to 93.3 KJR.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: We have a couple of people on the text line asking, man,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: I missed it. Can you get back to play back
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: the high school segment? We're out of time, but it'll
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: be on the iHeartRadio at 93.3 KJR or the podcast,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: the 933KJR.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: Com, the Greg Bell Show.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Right after the show, you can go to the Greg
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: Bell Show and you'll find the podcast on there and
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: replay it starting at the 11 o'clock hour.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: Coach Michael Kneipp of Bellevue.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Coach Don Bartel at Mount Si, and his answer when
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: I asked him 10, 15 years from now when kids
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: come back after playing for you, what do you want
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: them to remember most?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: And he said that they were loved. He got emotional.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: You could hear it in his voice. He just stopped.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: That was great.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: That was great.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: And then the talkback of saying that Jessamyn's attractive is
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: pretty great.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: Let's let that one die.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: That's not dying.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, ma'am.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Why are we letting that one die?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: Because it was at the very end of a talkback.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: I looked at the transcript. It didn't have swears. My
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: name doesn't go through. I just thought it was going
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: to say thank you. And it was just like a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: two-second little thing. He said something very nice about me,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: which I very much appreciate.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: Well, take the damn compliment.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not good at that.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 13: Nobody's saying that about you and me.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: Nobody has ever said that. It was very kind. Ian
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: and Greg are attractive.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 13: Somebody say that, please, on a talkback.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Wendy, can you call in?
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: Anybody.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 5: Anybody.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: It was really sweet.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Man, woman, I don't care.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: Very well-formed thought.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: I put makeup on for you people. Yes, he does.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 7: Yes, he does.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: I put makeup on for you people. I took Washington State,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Boise State, the under 53.5 points. Is that wise or unwise?
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: 40-3 is still under 53.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: 40-3? You think we're going to beat them that bad?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: That was my man, Marcus, on the text line. You
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: think we're going to kick their ass that bad?
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, sure. Oh, God.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: You've got a good hockey team you work for.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 13: They're surprisingly effective so far. Seven wins in 11 games.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 13: Most of them franchise history. Very resilient team, I would say.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: You mentioned last night they didn't have a shot for
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: 13 minutes of play?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 8: 13 minutes.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 13 minutes.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: The Canucks didn't have a shot an entire period in
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: the second period last night.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: Canucks are awful.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: They are awful. And that was against Detroit.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: Who's got their own problem.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Utah's really good. uh seattle played well last night
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 13: for the bout this has been their story they play
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 13: well for a couple periods can they play well for
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 13: 60 it's but they played well and then they they
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 13: gave up the tying goal it's three three and you're
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 13: like oh and then they scored what they thought was
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 13: the go-ahead goal and it wasn't I was offside, and
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 13: they're like, well, let's sneak a point out of this maybe,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 13: and then they get the game-winning goal and hold on,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 13: get the empty netter. No, they're playing well. Lane's got
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 13: them going. Lane's a good coach. He's got them believing.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 13: Very resilient team. Teams in the past, and it's a
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 13: long year, but teams in the past, it's 3-3, and
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 13: you had a two-goal lead at 3-1 at one point,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 13: and it's a 3-3 game. That cracking team the last
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 13: couple years would have, lost five to three themselves and
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 13: not won five to three.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: So it was, it was good. And Gruby's just playing
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: lights out. He did. He started again. That's four out
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: of five. He started and he's been great.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 13: Apparently he's from, from Russia. Is that what Bucciaross gets named?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 13: I got to, even I know that.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: Dude, Grubauer.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 13: His nickname is the German gentleman there, Bucci. He would probably,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 13: if you want, I mean, if you're doing a national game,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 13: don't you do a little bit of research on both teams?
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 13: Not just the one that everyone's in love with, which
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 13: would be the Utah Mammoth, uh, Their.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: Hometowns are right next to their names on a roster.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 13: Berkeley Caton. One of the top young players in the league.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: Listen to the provincial, the very provincial.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 13: I was getting all these texts last night from people going,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 13: what the hell is this? And I'm like, you know,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 13: we had to pay ESPN Plus to watch this.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I was at the game.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 13: And then, yeah, I guess it was a Utah Mammoth
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 13: infomercial last night.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 7: So.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 13: Sports fans get very uptight if they feel like the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 13: national announcers are, at least if they're not objective, if
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 13: they're not either objective or siding with their team, if
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 13: it's the other way around, that's the perception, and people
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 13: get very, very upset.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear it.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: I'm just passing along with it. I do find it interesting.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 13: The German goaltender, Philip Grubauer, who is now Russian, but
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 13: his nickname is.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: You know, that famous Russian surname, Grubauer. Yeah, exactly. And
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: his nickname is the German Gentleman. I'm trying to make
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: sense of that.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 13: He's been in the league for 12 years. Won a
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 13: Stanley Cup. Finalist for the Vesna. The German gentleman.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, Comrade.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Nice game. Great game, Comrade.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: I might use that tomorrow night on the broadcast.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 13: Grubauer, who they say apparently is Russian.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: Who knew?
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 13: God, I'll tell you right now. He'd be very careful, man.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 13: There'd be people looking for him. You think he's some
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 13: sort of KGB undercover?
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Pooch.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 12: Dummy.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 13: Anyway.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: Is it a Greg Cosell day today?
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 13: What can the tape tell us? What can the tape
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 13: tell us about Sam Darnold? What can the tape tell
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 13: us about Ken Walker? Zach Charbonnet?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks? Emmanuel Wilson?
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 13: What will the tape tell us? We'll find out at
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 13: 1220 what the tape tells us. I don't know if
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 13: it's going to be good, but. This tape will speak
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 13: to him. It always does.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll do that.
• 1:21:49

• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: Ashley's brought that to the afternoon. Yeah, I'm right. Even

• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, it's right just getting you
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: ready for happy hour.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 6: Exactly.

  Speaker 4: It's a perfect timing.

  Speaker 2: On a Friday?

  Speaker 3: Yeah, it made no sense to do it in the morning.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: She used to do it at 945 a.m.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: No, she's more appropriate.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 13: They can do their own thing. Listen, that's what we
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 13: got in the divorce settlement. Here's what you guys get, Anders.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 13: I get booze, news, and Ashley. That's a win.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 4: You cleaned up.

  Speaker 3: Before we go for the week, can you play that
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: talk back again?
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: Nope. Where's Jackson?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: We'll get a drop out of that.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: I will play just so you know why I turned
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: crimson and gray both at the same time. It was
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: really embarrassing. All right. I'll play it just so I'll
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: wear it, okay? I'm not hiding.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: Also, on a side note, Jessamyn, I think you're very pretty.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: I did not know that. I think that's very nice.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: And he didn't know that.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know how he found that out either.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: Well, he didn't know that, but that's good.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: That was really nice. That's, that's, I'm just sticking to it.
