- 0:36Speaker 1: We had a lot going on. I looked down. It
- 0:38Speaker 1: was fun. I looked down and I'm like, what the hell, London,
- 0:41Speaker 1: It's like this long thing. I can't even read it. It
- 0:42Speaker 1: was so long. I finally read it last night. I'll
- 0:44Speaker 1: let him explain, but I'm just gonna tell you this,
- 0:47Speaker 1: as a Seahawks fan, you're not gonna like the officiating
- 0:50Speaker 1: situation this weekend. And he'll explain why it's not good
- 0:54Speaker 1: fork for the Seahawks. It is really not good. And
- 0:58Speaker 1: I couldn't tell from the text if one was taking
- 1:01Speaker 1: the light in that or not. I wasn't sure he
- 1:03Speaker 1: didn't like the Rams. He didn't like the Rams either.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I think he liked Seattle more than the Rams.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Really.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'll be honest with you. I like
- 1:12Speaker 1: forty nine Ers more than Rams. You and I have
- 1:15Speaker 1: always been back and forth on this. Now listen when
- 1:17Speaker 1: I say that's like I like walking across hot coals barefooted,
- 1:23Speaker 1: you know, more than I would poke myself in the eye. Okay,
- 1:26Speaker 1: So it's right, Like it's like, great, what's the lesser
- 1:31Speaker 1: of two evils? Right right? I just don't like McVeigh.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Just shut up. Wow, you shut your ass up, Jeffers,
- 1:42Speaker 1: so great, U Jeri. First of all, get pants that fit.
- 1:49Speaker 1: You're not you're listen, you're if you were training out
- 1:52Speaker 1: and renting with the Sounders, that'd be fine. Yeah, dude,
- 1:56Speaker 1: get I just can't stand them, can't stand him. Hey them,
- 2:00Speaker 1: don't like them, And I'll take Kyle Shanahan and the
- 2:03Speaker 1: forty nine Ers winning. Like if if I if you
- 2:06Speaker 1: said someone's going to go to the Super Bowl from
- 2:08Speaker 1: the NFC West, it's not Seattle, I said, well, I
- 2:11Speaker 1: guess I'll take I'll take San Francisco. Honestly, I just
- 2:15Speaker 1: I find them less abrasive, less obnoxious, less everything. Now
- 2:20Speaker 1: you guys can chime in four nine four five one.
- 2:22Speaker 1: That is the now Tacoma Dodge, I'm sorry, Tacoma Dodge
- 2:28Speaker 1: text line shop Tacoma Dodge, Chrysler Jeep Ram at the
- 2:30Speaker 1: corner of thirty eighth in South to comb away the
- 2:32Speaker 1: intersection of savings, Tacoma Dodge text line four nine four
- 2:35Speaker 1: five one. I just now I say that that makes
- 2:39Speaker 1: this weekend even better if you beat them, because the
- 2:44Speaker 1: Rams coming to town is just a classic matchup. I'll
- 2:49Speaker 1: go back to thirteen and fourteen Rams and Kaepernick Harbos's coaching.
- 2:55Speaker 1: You mean Niners And I'm sorry Niners and Kaepernick and
- 2:58Speaker 1: Harbaugh and you know Crabtree and all that went into
- 3:03Speaker 1: that Willis Gore, all that that team, Vernon Adams, I mean, yes,
- 3:09Speaker 1: that was awesome. And to be honest with you, the
- 3:13Speaker 1: next year it was Aaron Flippin' Rodgers. And if you
- 3:17Speaker 1: like him, you have really really serious issues, like really bad,
- 3:23Speaker 1: like you needed you need to go, you need to
- 3:26Speaker 1: go see something someone. Okay, so well with Iahwaska, No,
- 3:31Speaker 1: but so both of those were great. Like both of
- 3:33Speaker 1: those conference championship games were awesome because of that. They
- 3:36Speaker 1: were fantastic because it was teams that were a I
- 3:40Speaker 1: don't think any question that they I mean, just look
- 3:42Speaker 1: at how the games ended and finished. That one was
- 3:44Speaker 1: one was overtime, the other one was a tip in
- 3:45Speaker 1: the end zone in the final second. Yeah, Like they
- 3:48Speaker 1: were the best teams in the NFL, not just the NFC,
- 3:51Speaker 1: probably the NFL. I know the Patriots beat cl Sales,
- 3:53Speaker 1: a better football team than the Patriots that year. And
- 3:56Speaker 1: and yes, it's about results, but April hurt, Jeremy lay.
- 3:59Speaker 2: And Hurt.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Went wearing to run at one arm, right, Yeah, and
- 4:04Speaker 1: we all know what happened at the Sales A better team, yeah,
- 4:07Speaker 1: both years. And I would make the argument that the
- 4:09Speaker 1: Packers and the forty nine ers both would won a
- 4:12Speaker 1: Super Bowl those same years. And I know the Packer
- 4:14Speaker 1: would because it wouldn't call that play right. But but
- 4:17Speaker 1: but listen, that's what makes the Rams game kind of
- 4:19Speaker 1: fun on Sunday is that it is them, Like I said,
- 4:21Speaker 1: I I and part of it was just how the
- 4:26Speaker 1: I mean, Caleb, I know DJ Moore broke the route off.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Whatever it's it's still Caleb, like the the the reluctance,
- 4:34Speaker 1: whether it was him or who or whatever to run. Dude,
- 4:38Speaker 1: that's who you are. You ran one time and you
- 4:40Speaker 1: got a huge first down when you did it. Yes,
- 4:42Speaker 1: like grow a set, do something. And still we got
- 4:46Speaker 1: to see these guys. But okay, you know what, good,
- 4:48Speaker 1: let's see these guys. Let's see the Rams bring little
- 4:51Speaker 1: Shaanne into town, you know, bring the rest of these
- 4:55Speaker 1: dipsticks into town. Stafford that guy done. Now, his last
- 5:01Speaker 1: playoff game in Seattle that mattered, Like you know when
- 5:03Speaker 1: he played for the Lions, right, yep, how that turned
- 5:06Speaker 1: out not well for them? Nope. So but you know,
- 5:10Speaker 1: I'm sure is his wife chirping on social media this week?
- 5:13Speaker 1: Yeah so I love that? So yeah, the lesser of
- 5:16Speaker 1: the two evils. I like San Francisco more than the Rams.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I despise. And here's the other thing I don't like
- 5:22Speaker 1: about the Rams. Now, listen, I know they moved, They've
- 5:26Speaker 1: moved like four times, but like Saint Louis did nothing
- 5:30Speaker 1: to deserve them leaving except for La needed a team
- 5:36Speaker 1: and they didn't like the building they were playing in,
- 5:39Speaker 1: the Edward R. Jones Dome, and Saint Louis the darkest
- 5:42Speaker 1: building of all time and quietest. Yeah, but still so
- 5:47Speaker 1: I don't like him for that. Kronky who owns them,
- 5:51Speaker 1: owns the Avalanche. Don't like him for that because he's
- 5:53Speaker 1: associated with cal mccarr and he's the arsenal guy. Screw that.
- 5:57Speaker 1: So we just there's no real seat you're coming on.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I saw it, okay, you know what coming on my
- 6:02Speaker 1: side more hated than the forty nine ers. So two
- 6:05Speaker 1: five three.
- 6:06Speaker 3: I know we'll get the text later, but this is
- 6:07Speaker 3: just a great example of why I sort of disagree.
- 6:10Speaker 3: From a purely team wise, I might agree, but Niner
- 6:13Speaker 3: fans make it unquestionable to hate the Niners more that
- 6:17Speaker 3: Rams fans even exist.
- 6:18Speaker 1: There's like seven of them. No, they don't.
- 6:20Speaker 4: That is exactly why I saw it on the Rams
- 6:23Speaker 4: over Niners.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Category agree. I didn't hear a lot of forty nine
- 6:26Speaker 1: Ers fans Saturday'll be wrong, did not. You were there
- 6:29Speaker 1: and they had no reason to be heard. You were there, right?
- 6:31Speaker 1: I was there, Yes, as a fan. Yeah, not even
- 6:34Speaker 1: in the press plots. I want three hundred level. I
- 6:36Speaker 1: was like, just get me in the building. Was was
- 6:38Speaker 1: there any I mean on television it didn't come across
- 6:42Speaker 1: as any forty nine er fans. Was it just over
- 6:44Speaker 1: where they just overwhelmed.
- 6:45Speaker 3: So even I was expecting it to actually be a
- 6:47Speaker 3: little show, a little worse on television because I'm not
- 6:49Speaker 3: sure which side it's on. But I think when you
- 6:52Speaker 3: look at the television, the bottom level that you can
- 6:56Speaker 3: see is the forty nine ers sideline, right.
- 6:58Speaker 1: No, no, o the way yeah, okay, cameras the camera
- 7:01Speaker 1: shoot over the.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Sea behind the forty nine Ers sideline. There was a
- 7:05Speaker 3: decent amount of red, but I honestly was expecting a
- 7:07Speaker 3: lot worse. There's a lot of talk about you know,
- 7:10Speaker 3: lun talked to us about it last week, right, but
- 7:12Speaker 3: the Man Alive was it loud in there? I think
- 7:15Speaker 3: they did the decibel level thing. I'm not in on
- 7:18Speaker 3: all this, but they did the top five NFL playoffs loudest,
- 7:24Speaker 3: like Peaks and Seahawks have three of them, by the way, right,
- 7:29Speaker 3: the New Orleans in there? I think the New Orleans
- 7:32Speaker 3: like the the something Music City Miracle something like.
- 7:37Speaker 1: That all in Tennessee.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one of them, but like but no, no, sorry,
- 7:43Speaker 3: not the Music City Miracle, the Minnesota one with Justin Jefferson.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yah yeah
- 7:49Speaker 5: yeah yeah yeah.
- 7:50Speaker 1: But anyways, that is a lousta yes, very loud. Yeah
- 7:53Speaker 1: that that new place is very loud, and the Super
- 7:56Speaker 1: Dumb is very loud. Yeah. Arrowhead is very overrated. I'll
- 8:00Speaker 1: go to my graves telling you that you said it
- 8:02Speaker 1: last week too. I think it's overrated, and I've been
- 8:05Speaker 1: to all through the ones we just mentioned. I think
- 8:07Speaker 1: I think super Dome is when it's hum in the
- 8:09Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Yeah special, Oh yeah, but that's because those
- 8:11Speaker 1: guys get up and they're on they're they're gassed and
- 8:13Speaker 1: hammered by like five am. Those guys they don't they
- 8:16Speaker 1: don't stop, so it's a little different. Plus in their
- 8:18Speaker 1: heyday they were like actually trying to hurt people.
- 8:20Speaker 6: But yeah, who yeah ny eight ye, But you're so
- 8:27Speaker 6: right about the the feeling of twenty thirteen fourteen.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I got to give this to Jackson Felts because he's
- 8:31Speaker 3: the one who texted me right after it happened and
- 8:33Speaker 3: it was like, it really feels like that because it's
- 8:35Speaker 3: the third time. You kind of felt like it was
- 8:36Speaker 3: going to be Seahawks Niners from the get go. In
- 8:39Speaker 3: the NFC Championship game in twenty season of twenty thirteen,
- 8:42Speaker 3: So the twenty fourteen playoffs. Yeah, and just those are
- 8:45Speaker 3: the two best teams and the winner of that wins
- 8:47Speaker 3: should win the Super Bowl, like straight up.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Well, and you know, we'll get into a lot more
- 8:52Speaker 1: as the week goes on. I one of the things
- 8:55Speaker 1: that that I think is almost a given right in
- 9:00Speaker 1: this game this week is the two I won't go
- 9:05Speaker 1: back to five. I think that history is a little
- 9:08Speaker 1: late for me. It's twenty one years ago. Sorry, Mike,
- 9:11Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about the last two in luhmen,
- 9:16Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers and the Packers. Both of those
- 9:18Speaker 1: games were really really hard to watch if you're a
- 9:24Speaker 1: Seahawks fan. I mean, let's just go back. You're down
- 9:27Speaker 1: ten to nothing to the forty nine Ers and probably
- 9:29Speaker 1: should have been fourteen nothing to be honest with you, right,
- 9:32Speaker 1: I mean, Russ fumbles is the first play. And then
- 9:34Speaker 1: the next year you're down sixteen nothing to the Packers.
- 9:39Speaker 1: You're getting run out of your own building, and then
- 9:43Speaker 1: lo and behold low and behold down sixteen to nothing.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Gary Gilliam catches a nineteen yard touchdown pass from John
- 9:50Speaker 1: Ryan and you're back in this game. And then even though,
- 9:54Speaker 1: like the crazy thing is, even when you took a lead,
- 9:56Speaker 1: you're up twenty two to nineteen, and that crazy ass
- 10:00Speaker 1: two point conversion from Wilson to Wilson with two l's,
- 10:05Speaker 1: you then gave up in the matter of you know,
- 10:08Speaker 1: forty five seconds, you gave up a forty nine yard
- 10:10Speaker 1: field goal to Mason Crosby to tie it up and
- 10:12Speaker 1: go to overtime. That was a grind. After watching the
- 10:17Speaker 1: championship game last night, after watching the Rams and the
- 10:20Speaker 1: Bears in overtime, are you ready for a little stress?
- 10:23Speaker 2: No, it was.
- 10:27Speaker 7: No, Like, honestly, no matter what happens, this will be
- 10:30Speaker 7: a stressful game.
- 10:31Speaker 1: That's my point. It's it's there will be things that
- 10:34Speaker 1: happened in this game because the Rams are really good
- 10:37Speaker 1: and they're a lot better than this, this current version
- 10:40Speaker 1: of the forty nine. I agree that so beat up.
- 10:43Speaker 1: And because of that, it's gonna be close. There's gonna
- 10:46Speaker 1: be it's probably gonna feel like that Thursday night game.
- 10:49Speaker 1: There will be nothing entertaining or comfortable about this game
- 10:53Speaker 1: unless you win and the clock says zero. Outside of that,
- 10:56Speaker 1: you're gonna be sitting on pins and needles. But would
- 10:59Speaker 1: we want to have it any other way? The answers no, no,
- 11:02Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if he can get worse than
- 11:05Speaker 1: the Packers game. I don't know if it can get
- 11:09Speaker 1: worse than that Packers game back in twenty fifteen, in
- 11:12Speaker 1: January twenty fifteen, probably not the forty nine Ers game.
- 11:17Speaker 1: I just read the first play. I was sitting in
- 11:19Speaker 1: the press box and it's like did I just like,
- 11:23Speaker 1: what the hell just happened? Like how like this? And
- 11:27Speaker 1: Sale was so good that year, but I mean coldin
- 11:32Speaker 1: Smith for a while a Seahawk later in his career,
- 11:35Speaker 1: Russell Wilson sacked at the thirteen fumbles recovered, I mean no,
- 11:44Speaker 1: and they had to come back and they're down ten
- 11:46Speaker 1: to nothing and they did all that and we all
- 11:47Speaker 1: I mean and even the last drive I was standing
- 11:49Speaker 1: next to I saw Michelle likea was posting something on Instagram.
- 11:52Speaker 1: It was doing like the twenty sixteen it was the
- 11:54Speaker 1: year before, but we were talking about it. I just
- 11:56Speaker 1: watching what she was posting. I stand next to Michelle
- 11:58Speaker 1: in the end zone. When Sherman tipped the ball to
- 12:01Speaker 1: Malcolm Smith was like from me to you, andrews far
- 12:03Speaker 1: away because we're getting ready to a post game. We're like,
- 12:05Speaker 1: oh my god, it just felt like they were going
- 12:07Speaker 1: to score right and and we're like, this is such
- 12:10Speaker 1: a bomber Man. We already had our plans for New York,
- 12:13Speaker 1: We had our tinery for New York. I was I mean,
- 12:16Speaker 1: it was and that happens. You're just it's euphoria. We
- 12:20Speaker 1: were spoiled last weekend. We were spoiled last weekend. That
- 12:23Speaker 1: was just such an ass kicking. That was It was
- 12:25Speaker 1: so much fun and and yet at the same time
- 12:28Speaker 1: knowing that it's going to be hard, but going and
- 12:31Speaker 1: winning a championship is going to be hard. I just
- 12:34Speaker 1: I hate the Rams. I don't like them at all.
- 12:37Speaker 1: But I also know and I respect those guys. I
- 12:39Speaker 1: respect McVeigh. I think you have, arguably do you have
- 12:44Speaker 1: the two best coaches in the NFL going toe to
- 12:46Speaker 1: toe this weekend as coaches two best teams, right, Well,
- 12:48Speaker 1: this is a super Bowl. I think that's the cliche
- 12:51Speaker 1: that a lot of people are going to use. And
- 12:53Speaker 1: I don't think it mattered even before Bowdenicks got hurt.
- 12:55Speaker 1: To be honest with no, I don't think I mean
- 12:56Speaker 1: Bonick's getting hurt changes a lot because maybe Denver be
- 13:01Speaker 1: the Patriots. They're not beating the Patriots with Jared Stidham.
- 13:03Speaker 1: If they do, then both those teams are garbage and
- 13:07Speaker 1: have no business being in the super Bowl. But one
- 13:09Speaker 1: of them will be. This is it like you win
- 13:12Speaker 1: on Saturday. It's much like twenty thirteen. You win that game,
- 13:15Speaker 1: you win the Super Bowl, and away you go, all right, know,
- 13:19Speaker 1: Zach sharbonay. They will hear more from Mike McDonald tomorrow.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I would assume, like the Hallane situation, if he can
- 13:27Speaker 1: come back from his injury, I think that would be
- 13:29Speaker 1: your best option as a number two, if that's possible,
- 13:32Speaker 1: if he's close to health. I saw Condoto wrote about
- 13:34Speaker 1: it today and others and Belle and those guys. Halane's
- 13:38Speaker 1: better than Vlis Jones and Camike and what used to
- 13:43Speaker 1: be cam Akers like no longer cam Akers, right, Halani
- 13:47Speaker 1: is important. I agree with you. We've talked about this
- 13:49Speaker 1: all year. I don't know how many times we talked
- 13:51Speaker 1: about it with Cosel. Ken Walker is a difference maker.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Ken Walker is a game breaker and a difference maker.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney is a good solid NFL running back. Ken
- 14:00Speaker 1: Walker is just better. He's more explosive and more carries
- 14:06Speaker 1: for ken Walker. For a lot of us, that's a
- 14:09Speaker 1: good thing. The problem is your depth behind him. Donald
- 14:14Speaker 1: didn't have to do anything on Saturday. I mean, his
- 14:16Speaker 1: numbers were as pedestrian as he gets. Why because he
- 14:18Speaker 1: didn't have to do anything. Great throat at JSN for
- 14:21Speaker 1: the touchdown, great throw at js but outside, I mean,
- 14:23Speaker 1: he just didn't have to seventeen passes. I think it
- 14:26Speaker 1: was so I mean it's it's he didn't have to
- 14:28Speaker 1: do anything. He'll have to do something this week. But
- 14:30Speaker 1: ken Walker, man, he's he's a dude, and he's been healthy,
- 14:34Speaker 1: hasn't missed a game. I know they managed his foot
- 14:36Speaker 1: injury whatever it is, but it's the Charbernete thing is
- 14:41Speaker 1: a bumber because it hurts your depth. But you know,
- 14:43Speaker 1: much like more cow Bell, give me more Walker, period
- 14:46Speaker 1: like that. So we'll get to all those things as well.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Four nine four five one Tacoma Dodge text line shop

- 16:33Speaker 1: do that because you want tickets, all right. Crazy night
- 16:37Speaker 1: last night down in Miami, the Indiana Wooers and Kurt
- 16:42Speaker 1: Signetti and the Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza win their
- 16:46Speaker 1: first ever national championship. One of the worst college football
- 16:51Speaker 1: programs in the last century has won a national championship.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Does that really have a deeper meaning or is this
- 16:58Speaker 1: a one off and not so much a one off
- 17:01Speaker 1: for Indiana Because I think with Signetty. They're going to
- 17:03Speaker 1: be there for a while. But I think we might
- 17:06Speaker 1: need to take a little bit of a step back
- 17:08Speaker 1: before we start painting the picture of anybody can win
- 17:11Speaker 1: a national championship. No, they can't. I'll tell you why.
- 17:15Speaker 8: Next our twelfth Man Playoff coverage continue playoffs brought to

- 17:33Speaker 8: point three kJ r FM.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Now here's the and.
- 17:41Speaker 7: Ah right.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Welk be back.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Epic game last night in the College football Championship game.
- 17:47Speaker 1: By the way, we'll take some texts. Jess wants talkbacks.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Talk to her, speak to her. I mentioned to Uh,
- 17:56Speaker 1: I mentioned to Andrews and Jess that, yeah, I'm kind
- 17:59Speaker 1: of glad. It's only in the sense once they got
- 18:01Speaker 1: past the fact that the Bears would have been a
- 18:02Speaker 1: lot more fun to play because it would be easier, game,
- 18:04Speaker 1: less stressful. I just hate the Rams, so that makes
- 18:07Speaker 1: it fun. You know, just hate him. I hate them
- 18:09Speaker 1: worse than nine ers. Just do. And maybe you guys
- 18:10Speaker 1: just scree It's fine. It's all personal preference. But there's
- 18:13Speaker 1: just something about mcveigh's stupid voice and everything that just
- 18:17Speaker 1: drives me insane. I just don't like him.
- 18:18Speaker 4: I love this sports hate.
- 18:19Speaker 1: It's total sports hate. I respect him. I just keep
- 18:23Speaker 1: this in mind. It is sports hate. As I said
- 18:24Speaker 1: in the last segment, I think it's I think they're
- 18:26Speaker 1: the two best coaches in the NFL, McVeigh and McDonald's so.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Yeah, both around the same age too.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Yeah so but yeah, first voice anyway, four nine four
- 18:40Speaker 1: five one on the going Dutch texsinnder to send a
- 18:41Speaker 1: talk back in so last night, Indiana wins the national championship.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I went back, it's I think it's like nine nine
- 18:47Speaker 1: teams will the last twenty one years. Nine different teams
- 18:50Speaker 1: over the last twenty one years have won the national
- 18:51Speaker 1: championship in college football. Maybe you think a lot. It
- 18:53Speaker 1: sounds like a lot, nah, I mean think about it.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, LSU, Clemson, Alabama, Florida. That's it,
- 19:03Speaker 1: Like those are the teams Michigan, right, And so Indiana
- 19:06Speaker 1: wins kind of an out of the box win, and
- 19:09Speaker 1: the immediate assumption is and I listen, you guys, listen
- 19:12Speaker 1: to the show we'll have Mandel on tomorrow. I love
- 19:13Speaker 1: college football, absolutely love it, to the point where like
- 19:17Speaker 1: it's if I listen to a podcast or is like
- 19:20Speaker 1: my guy Manda Mandel's podcast The Audible and a couple
- 19:22Speaker 1: of other college football podcasts, it's kind of my thing
- 19:26Speaker 1: to relax, honestly, Like, I don't need more hockey in
- 19:29Speaker 1: my life necessarily, I don't need more NFL in my
- 19:32Speaker 1: life necessarily. I love college football. Listen to those kinds
- 19:34Speaker 1: of podcasts. I just love it. And I've had that
- 19:38Speaker 1: love hate relationship like a lot of you guys probably
- 19:40Speaker 1: have with college football lately because of where we are.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I mean, the whole story today, Darian Mensa, who's the
- 19:47Speaker 1: quarterback at or was a quarterback at Duke that wants
- 19:50Speaker 1: to go to Miami. Miami is now suing him. They
- 19:54Speaker 1: filed a temporary restraining order that initially didn't get accepted,
- 19:57Speaker 1: but then the judge recused him. I mean, it's just
- 19:59Speaker 1: a mess. It's basically demon Williams two point zero that
- 20:03Speaker 1: they're going to try to prevent him from going to Miami.
- 20:06Speaker 1: And if you think about how greasy that is, it's
- 20:08Speaker 1: pretty damn greasy. It's really greasy. It's as greasy as
- 20:12Speaker 1: Demon Williams lsu stuff was. It's just greasy. It's greasy
- 20:16Speaker 1: that Jed Smith took Jade Laura when he was supposed
- 20:18Speaker 1: to be to a bull practice. I mean, we go
- 20:20Speaker 1: through that, and I think every coach in the country
- 20:21Speaker 1: is probably guilty of being greasy, right and tampering.
- 20:24Speaker 4: Yeah, they're just not the top of the headline.
- 20:26Speaker 1: It's but it happens. So there's that. But the initial
- 20:31Speaker 1: thing was, Wow, if Indiana can win, anybody can. Let's
- 20:36Speaker 1: take a step back a little bit and ask ourselves
- 20:38Speaker 1: why Indiana won. Was it purely a money thing?
- 20:42Speaker 9: No?
- 20:43Speaker 1: No, what's important and this is why not everybody can win.
- 20:50Speaker 1: You need to have a combination of a lot of
- 20:52Speaker 1: things to be great in college football these days, and
- 20:56Speaker 1: most would agree at the top of the list is
- 20:59Speaker 1: finances would be my right. But the next thing on
- 21:03Speaker 1: that list, and as important, let's say, because there's a
- 21:07Speaker 1: lot of teams, especially if they're going to truly have
- 21:09Speaker 1: this twenty million dollar cap or whatever it's going to be,
- 21:12Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that can afford to buy
- 21:15Speaker 1: and put rosters together. The difference is what Indiana did
- 21:22Speaker 1: is they hit a jackpot with a coach and they
- 21:26Speaker 1: found a coach that not only was a great end
- 21:30Speaker 1: game coach and put together one hell of a staff.
- 21:34Speaker 1: That's the other part of the equation, a hell of
- 21:36Speaker 1: a staff. And I think back to when this is
- 21:39Speaker 1: a zillion years ago, Don James, one of the most
- 21:43Speaker 1: successful coaches in the history of college football. Don James'
- 21:48Speaker 1: staff was elite. Gary Pinkel, Keith Gilbertson, Randy Hart on
- 21:55Speaker 1: and on, Jim Lambright, go on and on and on,
- 21:57Speaker 1: like he had an elite coaching staff, like unbelievable. Signetti
- 22:04Speaker 1: has the same. But more importantly, when we go out
- 22:08Speaker 1: and say anybody can win, sure if you find the
- 22:12Speaker 1: right coach with the right combination of financial support. They
- 22:16Speaker 1: have a huge alumni base is Indiana. But why did
- 22:20Speaker 1: they win? Why were they successful the last two years?
- 22:23Speaker 1: I'm gonna make just one man's opinion. I think the
- 22:27Speaker 1: most important thing is that you better have someone in
- 22:31Speaker 1: today's college football that can evaluate talent and not just
- 22:37Speaker 1: five stars. Because really, honestly, we'll have Huffman on here
- 22:40Speaker 1: pretty quick once the portal stuff get settled down, We'll
- 22:41Speaker 1: get him back on. I'll be curious to ask him
- 22:43Speaker 1: about this. The Star system has long been scrutinized and
- 22:48Speaker 1: criticized by people. Bill Doba famously said, you know, like
- 22:53Speaker 1: my postman is doing, you know, high school football rankings
- 22:57Speaker 1: and stuff. And I mean guys would but they would
- 22:59Speaker 1: always say that because you weren't getting the four or
- 23:00Speaker 1: five star guys. I love you, DoBeS, but that's a
- 23:02Speaker 1: lot of times what you'd say. But what Wazoo did
- 23:06Speaker 1: when they were really good under Mike Price and even
- 23:08Speaker 1: to a certain extent with Mike Leach and what other
- 23:12Speaker 1: teams that have overachieved over the years. What they've done
- 23:15Speaker 1: is they've gone out and found guys and they found
- 23:18Speaker 1: great talent that maybe was under the radar or have potential.
- 23:21Speaker 1: You fought, Hey, this kid's a great running back. We're
- 23:24Speaker 1: gonna make him a linebacker. This kid's are really He's
- 23:26Speaker 1: a tall, lanky kid, kind of like goofy looking, kind
- 23:30Speaker 1: of like a wide receiver. I bet he can be
- 23:31Speaker 1: a DM. We'll put forty pounds on him like that,
- 23:33Speaker 1: like this. The talent. Kurt Signetti's talent evaluation was unbelievable. Yeah,
- 23:39Speaker 1: he brought a bunch of guys over from JMU, and
- 23:40Speaker 1: we brought over the guys he knew could play at
- 23:42Speaker 1: that next level. I'll give you the example of why
- 23:46Speaker 1: talent evaluation is more important. Brian Kelly at LSU famously
- 23:52Speaker 1: spent a ton of money this year on their offensive line.
- 23:55Speaker 1: What was their biggest weakness? It was the offensive line.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Bad talent evaluation. It's not recruiting. We have to understand
- 24:00Speaker 1: that there's a difference between because Mario Christobal is quote
- 24:04Speaker 1: a great recruiter. That's like the Moniker handed it to
- 24:07Speaker 1: Mario Cristabal. He's a great recruiter, Sure, great recruiter. Is
- 24:12Speaker 1: he a great talent evaluator? I don't know. It's Carson
- 24:16Speaker 1: Beck really your best option of quarterback? Yeah, I got
- 24:18Speaker 1: you to the finals, you got your championship game. But
- 24:21Speaker 1: they also had the best two edge rushers in the world.
- 24:24Speaker 1: They had a running back that looks like, I don't know,
- 24:27Speaker 1: it's the second coming Eric Dickerson. I mean that dude
- 24:30Speaker 1: is a dude. They got a utility, all purpose everything,
- 24:36Speaker 1: wide receiver you can put in the backfield that reminds
- 24:38Speaker 1: me of Percy Harvin and I'm talking Percy College. Percy
- 24:43Speaker 1: pretty crazy Percy like crazy good. They had dudes, they
- 24:47Speaker 1: got a lockdown corner, they got everything. But is a
- 24:53Speaker 1: talent evaluation there. That's what Kurt Signetti does. And I'm
- 24:56Speaker 1: not saying Mario doesn't have that. I'm just saying that
- 24:58Speaker 1: that's more important anything because he's college football. Everyone's got
- 25:02Speaker 1: money to spend, and I'm saying everybody, top teams, everyone
- 25:05Speaker 1: has money to spend. Are you spending it wisely? That's
- 25:09Speaker 1: the brilliance of Signetti. Don't tell me everybody can win
- 25:12Speaker 1: a national championship. Everyone can't win a national championship because
- 25:15Speaker 1: the gift of evaluating talent is what I just said,
- 25:19Speaker 1: It's a gift. I e r guy across the water
- 25:23Speaker 1: at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. His name is John Schneider.
- 25:28Speaker 1: He draft in the day. He drafted the equivalent of
- 25:32Speaker 1: a bunch of two star guys in the fourth, fifth, sixth,
- 25:36Speaker 1: seventh round, whatever it was. That's what he did. He
- 25:39Speaker 1: evaluated talent, him and his staff. And that's what Signetti did.
- 25:42Speaker 1: To me, the coolest part about it was, yeah, they
- 25:45Speaker 1: spent money. They got a transfer quarterback in Mendoza who
- 25:48Speaker 1: turned the ball over quite a bit. Of Cal didn't
- 25:50Speaker 1: this year. They coached him up, They made him a
- 25:52Speaker 1: better player, they coached him up. I don't know if
- 25:56Speaker 1: college football truly is that much better off and that
- 26:00Speaker 1: much more wide open. I think what happened was Indiana
- 26:06Speaker 1: they found a guy that could coach and evaluate talent
- 26:09Speaker 1: at a different level. And oh, by the way, they
- 26:12Speaker 1: also have I believe someone says it's one of the
- 26:15Speaker 1: largest alumni bases in the country and one of the
- 26:18Speaker 1: most well. Mark Cuban sold the Mavericks or whatever. He's
- 26:22Speaker 1: got billions so they can pay guys. But you can
- 26:26Speaker 1: pay a lot of people. Texas paid everybody. How were
- 26:30Speaker 1: they this year? Underachieved? LSU fired their coach. They paid everybody.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Remember a few years ago in Jimbo Fisher when nil
- 26:38Speaker 1: stuff first started at Texas A and M. We paid everybody.
- 26:41Speaker 1: They did nothing. You could throw money at people all
- 26:43Speaker 1: you want. Hell, we see that in baseball all the time.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Let's just throw money at somebody. Maybe he'll be good.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Not always, did you scout him, did you do all
- 26:52Speaker 1: your homework? I don't know. Not always. Signetti and Indiana
- 26:55Speaker 1: are a great story. Not because anybody can win. They're
- 26:58Speaker 1: a great story because you had a guy that was
- 27:02Speaker 1: hired that knew what the hell he was doing, didn't care.
- 27:06Speaker 1: You could have hired Kurt Signetti to go to Purdue,
- 27:08Speaker 1: which is also a bad football program for traditionally it's
- 27:10Speaker 1: a basketball school, much like Indiana. The Indiana's basketball hasn't
- 27:13Speaker 1: been good for a long time. But you could have
- 27:14Speaker 1: hired Signetti gone to Purdue. You could have put him
- 27:18Speaker 1: in Minnesota, you could have put him in Rutgers. I
- 27:21Speaker 1: bet you if you put him in any of those places,
- 27:23Speaker 1: I bet he has the same success because he knows
- 27:25Speaker 1: how to evaluate talent and he knows how to coach
- 27:27Speaker 1: guy's up and make him better. That's what it's about,
- 27:30Speaker 1: and that's I go back. That's what DJ did, Yeah,
- 27:32Speaker 1: and his staff at Washington. So it's not why my
- 27:35Speaker 1: thing is we want to throw Anybody can win. It's
- 27:38Speaker 1: so great for college football. Look at the preseason top
- 27:42Speaker 1: twenty five and you tell me that because it's not.
- 27:43Speaker 1: It's the same old, same old.
- 27:45Speaker 3: So my question to you is, if if Signetti could
- 27:47Speaker 3: have gone anywhere, wouldn't that tell you that anybody can win?
- 27:50Speaker 3: Because if you have someone that can evaluate talent.
- 27:52Speaker 1: You find me another Kurtz Signetti. Yeah, because that guy
- 27:55Speaker 1: doesn't exist right, not yet, Okay, not yet. He doesn't
- 27:57Speaker 1: exist right because, like, here's the thing. Who the best
- 28:00Speaker 1: college football coaches the last twenty thirty years. Pete is
- 28:03Speaker 1: in the in that conversation, you know why Pete. But Pete,
- 28:06Speaker 1: Remember he went and did things differently too. He changed
- 28:10Speaker 1: the whole culture. USC was not good. I mean Petros
- 28:14Speaker 1: will tell you guys that every week they were not good.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Pete goes in there, he does it a different new way.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this LA. I'm gonna make this LA's team.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Remember there's no rams at the time, their LA's team.
- 28:24Speaker 1: What does that mean. We're gonna come in celebrities. We're
- 28:28Speaker 1: gonna they might pay you guys under the table. Reggie,
- 28:30Speaker 1: but they made that. He did it as he also
- 28:33Speaker 1: was a brilliant defensive mind. Pete was out of the box.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Pete was different. Nick Saban has been everywhere arguably the
- 28:40Speaker 1: best coach in the history college football, but also one
- 28:43Speaker 1: of a couple of different places. Saban's out of the
- 28:46Speaker 1: box unicorn of a guy too. Signetti's a unicorn. He
- 28:51Speaker 1: just is like, yeah, why can't if you find another
- 28:54Speaker 1: Court Signetti. Yeah, a guy that also came in, wasn't
- 28:58Speaker 1: concerned with the hype, wasn't concern with raw Rod, wasn't
- 29:01Speaker 1: concerned with where's my golf club membership? Like you know,
- 29:04Speaker 1: where's my wine cellar? Brian Kelly Right, No, the guy,
- 29:08Speaker 1: the guy was the perfect combination of talent evaluator and coach.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And that's the difference.
- 29:14Speaker 3: So you're saying it's more that it's him, not I'm
- 29:17Speaker 3: saying it's all him.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Yeah, all him, That's what I'm saying. You have schools,
- 29:22Speaker 1: inherently they have an advantage because they've built in culture, right,
- 29:25Speaker 1: Miami has its culture back and the money. They have
- 29:29Speaker 1: the money, Yeah, and they've kind of always had the
- 29:31Speaker 1: money if they had the right guy coaching. I'm sure
- 29:35Speaker 1: MJ would tell you that. I mean, they've got all
- 29:37Speaker 1: By the way, what is Michael Irvin doing coaching guys
- 29:39Speaker 1: during the game like that is like the worst thing
- 29:41Speaker 1: I've ever seen, did you see? I heard it was
- 29:44Speaker 1: good though I got to see it. But I mean
- 29:47Speaker 1: Miami's always had it. They've had the culture and they
- 29:49Speaker 1: play with that attitude. They're kind of they like wearing
- 29:51Speaker 1: the bad boy moniker. They like that, which is great.
- 29:53Speaker 1: They got the right guy in Mario, that's fine. They
- 29:55Speaker 1: can you know he'll elevate them. They're back because of him.
- 29:59Speaker 1: But they all so went through a whole bunch of
- 30:01Speaker 1: coaches since the heyday, where guys couldn't do it. You
- 30:04Speaker 1: got to have the right coach. The right coach means everything.
- 30:07Speaker 1: How this school ten miles away from where we sit
- 30:11Speaker 1: right now is a great example. They had the best
- 30:13Speaker 1: ever in Don James, then they didn't for a long time,
- 30:17Speaker 1: and then they brought in Chris Peterson and they elevated
- 30:20Speaker 1: it again, Sam with Candor, and then they went downhill again,
- 30:23Speaker 1: and then they brought in Kaitlin and they aren't there again.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So coaching matters, but not just coaching, talent evaluation. If
- 30:31Speaker 1: you look through the roster and how that was built
- 30:33Speaker 1: with Signetti, the combination of the guys that he knew
- 30:36Speaker 1: could play at this level from JMU, the transfers he
- 30:39Speaker 1: brought in in a handful of high school guys, it's good.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I don't like where the game's going for this reason.
- 30:45Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that you can't develop a
- 30:46Speaker 1: quarterback anymore. And I hope Duke wins I hope Duke
- 30:51Speaker 1: wins kind of like and I don't even know why
- 30:56Speaker 1: Washington kind of set the president. I mean, I guess
- 30:59Speaker 1: maybe demand if he bought it like Mensa is, maybe
- 31:01Speaker 1: Demand could have got out of it. Maybe. But I
- 31:05Speaker 1: hate that. I hate the fact that you're not and Indiana,
- 31:09Speaker 1: I stop short of giving them full praise in bouquets
- 31:13Speaker 1: because they won it with a heismand trophy winner that
- 31:15Speaker 1: they got from another school. Sure, so that's where college
- 31:19Speaker 1: football is. Did he have that high of demand everywhere else?
- 31:22Speaker 9: Though?
- 31:23Speaker 1: He had a pretty high Like, yeah, he had choices
- 31:26Speaker 1: last year. Okay, I think and I think the funny
- 31:28Speaker 1: thing is it's so funny because he just torches them
- 31:30Speaker 1: all the time for not bringing him there. Right, Miami
- 31:31Speaker 1: I think was one of them. Yea so town evaluation people. Well,
- 31:37Speaker 1: I mean there were two kids that made a difference
- 31:39Speaker 1: in that game that were also thirty minutes less than that.
- 31:41Speaker 1: One guy was ten minutes, the other guys thirty minutes
- 31:43Speaker 1: fro away from the Miami campus and they let him
- 31:44Speaker 1: both go. Yeah, So I would tell you Bry to

- 33:37Speaker 1: said that out loud? I did say it out loud. Yeah, Well,
- 33:40Speaker 1: they got some passengers. Let's just be honest. They got
- 33:43Speaker 1: some passengers on that train right now. And I really
- 33:46Speaker 1: honestly believe, and I think a lot of us that
- 33:50Speaker 1: are around it a lot believe that Jason Bottrol needs
- 33:54Speaker 1: to do something somewhat dramatic to shake things up and
- 33:59Speaker 1: to improve this.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Wraw question is what is that. There's a lot of
- 34:01Speaker 3: people that think you just need to sell your veterans
- 34:03Speaker 3: let the kids. I don't think you sell all your veterans.
- 34:05Speaker 1: I think you have to know and I'm assuming he
- 34:07Speaker 1: knows by now who he's gonna who they're going to
- 34:09Speaker 1: try to resign in the offseason, okay, and if you're
- 34:11Speaker 1: not going to bring those guys back, and then then
- 34:13Speaker 1: it's time to move on.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Yep.
- 34:16Speaker 1: I think I think Alexiak has to be at the
- 34:18Speaker 1: top of the list to move and I think that
- 34:25Speaker 1: the sending down of Jacob Alanson was just a massive mistake.
- 34:29Speaker 1: I agree, just a massive mistake that has I mean,
- 34:32Speaker 1: they haven't won sense yep, that's not a coincidence.
- 34:36Speaker 3: And they have literally their run of what I think,
- 34:39Speaker 3: twelve games with eleven points in the I mean eleven
- 34:43Speaker 3: games with points in those twelve games. Yeah, we're all,
- 34:45Speaker 3: we're all of the twelve games that he was.
- 34:46Speaker 1: There, just tone setter. Everyone's head's on a swivel when
- 34:50Speaker 1: he's out there. Everyone plays bigger, the line plays bigger.
- 34:54Speaker 1: They have no physical presence right now at all. Yeah,
- 34:58Speaker 1: they you know, and I don't like. I don't I'll
- 35:00Speaker 1: be honest with you. I don't like not having Cartie
- 35:02Speaker 1: in the lineup. And Carcier probably would have been the
- 35:05Speaker 1: guy would have sent down because but he'd have to
- 35:07Speaker 1: pass through waivers. People will be worried, they might get claimed. Okay,
- 35:09Speaker 1: so be it. But you've got to have a physical presence.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Every mistake you make lately has been in the back
- 35:15Speaker 1: of your net to Yeah, that's the other thing. Three
- 35:16Speaker 1: games in a row, they give up a short handed goal.
- 35:17Speaker 1: They got to get together, they got to be better.
- 35:20Speaker 1: They'll take on the Islanders of New York tomorrow. That's
- 35:22Speaker 1: it Climate Plage Arena. That's an earlier sort of start
- 35:27Speaker 1: the national TV game. Assume it's going to start at
- 35:31Speaker 1: six thirty for going tomorrow. We'll talk about that more tomorrow.
- 35:33Speaker 1: It won't because National TV is always late. But I
- 35:36Speaker 1: think it's the second game of a doubleheader. First ones
- 35:38Speaker 1: at four, that one's at six thirty, So they got
- 35:41Speaker 1: to get together. They've dropped out of the playoffs for now,
- 35:44Speaker 1: but they're right there on the CUSP. They're two points
- 35:46Speaker 1: out of the third place in the Pacific, but San
- 35:47Speaker 1: jose A just made a big trade, so they're there.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Anaheim is the last place or the second team in
- 35:53Speaker 1: the wildcard. There are two points behind Anaheim, three points
- 35:55Speaker 1: behind Utah for the other wildcard spot. They're very much
- 35:58Speaker 1: in it, but they're in that murky middle. Yeah, murky middle.
- 36:02Speaker 3: It's just a huge group of especially in the Western Conference,
- 36:05Speaker 3: where it's just teams that are all within like five
- 36:07Speaker 3: points to each other.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Say, Len Lambert made a commy Yesterday's true, like we
- 36:11Speaker 1: pre scouted this. Talk about the short hand goal they
- 36:13Speaker 1: gave up. We pre scouted it, Our players knew it,
- 36:16Speaker 1: and yet they still made that mistake. Yeah, that's not good.

- 38:03Speaker 1: Let's get him John Lunt.
- 38:05Speaker 8: Welcome to Ian's weekly visit with John Lund Unleashed. He's
- 38:09Speaker 8: a Bay Area media icon who's known Ian for over
- 38:13Speaker 8: twenty five years. Don't let their age change your opinion
- 38:16Speaker 8: of them. John takes you through the Bay Area, en
- 38:19Speaker 8: the NFC West and dupes it out with the in
- 38:21Speaker 8: over the Niners and the Hawks. So let's unleash it
- 38:25Speaker 8: now with John Lund. Here's Ian all right, here he is.
- 38:28Speaker 1: He's also now the king of Westwood one. So you
- 38:31Speaker 1: tune that in on the weekend you'll hear him there
- 38:33Speaker 1: as well, pontificating doing his thing, probably singing the praises
- 38:38Speaker 1: of the Seahawks on Saturday night, right, that's what you're doing.
- 38:42Speaker 2: I was singing the praise, Yes, it was. It was
- 38:45Speaker 2: absolutely That's what I do. I sing the praises. I mean,
- 38:49Speaker 2: what else could you say?
- 38:50Speaker 10: I mean, basically, when and I was on the air
- 38:53Speaker 10: when this is going on, they take the kickoff back
- 38:56Speaker 10: and it's like, canight everybody, because you know I've covered
- 39:00Speaker 10: in there, You've covered gazillion games there. I mean, once
- 39:02Speaker 10: that play starts rocking and rolling like that, they had
- 39:05Speaker 10: no chance.
- 39:05Speaker 2: And you and I talked about this.
- 39:07Speaker 10: I mean, I'm okay with the Niners losing because they
- 39:09Speaker 10: maximize their season. I still think Kyle Shanans the coach
- 39:12Speaker 10: of the Year, and what they did was miraculous. Given
- 39:16Speaker 10: what they had lost and George Kittle and everything. I
- 39:18Speaker 10: would have thought they would have put up a little
- 39:20Speaker 10: bit better a fight. But I just, you know, I
- 39:21Speaker 10: just think right in front of our very eyes. They
- 39:25Speaker 10: just ran out of gas and they just could not
- 39:27Speaker 10: emotionally match what Seattle was doing because the Seahawks had
- 39:31Speaker 10: just so much fire and ever rocking and rolling so
- 39:34Speaker 10: hard that once, you know, let I mean the opening kickoff,
- 39:37Speaker 10: but then what happened after and after and after, and
- 39:39Speaker 10: you just don't see them lose their composure like that.
- 39:43Speaker 10: Brock Purty lost to you know, just about everybody lost
- 39:45Speaker 10: their composure. And that was the first time you looked
- 39:48Speaker 10: around and you went, where's Kittle, Where's Bosa, where's Warner,
- 39:50Speaker 10: where's you know, where's our leadership on our team that's
- 39:53Speaker 10: gonna pull us out of this? And they just didn't
- 39:55Speaker 10: have it. And that's that's the result.
- 39:57Speaker 1: I tease this. We'll get to this a little later.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Uh.
- 40:00Speaker 1: I got a long text from John Lund yesterday and
- 40:04Speaker 1: I was settling you did. I'm gonna get to that
- 40:07Speaker 1: in a second, because you're gonna get Seahawk fans all
- 40:09Speaker 1: fired up with that. We'll get to that in a second.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Even I just said that, I looked at it. I
- 40:13Speaker 1: was right about ready to I was doing the play
- 40:16Speaker 1: by play for the Crack and yesterday afternoon and I
- 40:19Speaker 1: get I look down. Lon sends me a text. You're
- 40:22Speaker 1: one of the few people I would send it chat
- 40:24Speaker 1: I would check even though I'm producers. But John Lund
- 40:28Speaker 1: you ignore them. And I looked down and I'm like, wow,
- 40:33Speaker 1: this is something. This I said, I can't wait for Wednesday,
- 40:35Speaker 1: so or Tuesday. We'll get to that in a second.
- 40:38Speaker 1: I also were taking texts and on the Tacoma Dodge
- 40:41Speaker 1: text line, a text line sponsored. Now, John's you know
- 40:43Speaker 1: that Tacoma Dodge.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Let me sponsoring something on your show.
- 40:47Speaker 1: No, it's a whole station. It's a whole station. It's
- 40:49Speaker 1: a whole station, Tacoma Dodge textant, it's the whole station.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Come on, give your head a shake. No, that's not it.
- 40:56Speaker 1: But the we're also I brought this up earlier and
- 40:59Speaker 1: Anders didn't like it. Jess was a little bit more
- 41:01Speaker 1: neutral on it. But I brought this up and I
- 41:03Speaker 1: just said, you know, I'm kind of glad at the
- 41:06Speaker 1: same time. I mean, we all want to see the
- 41:08Speaker 1: Bears because I just don't think they're as good as
- 41:10Speaker 1: the Rams. But the nice thing about the Ram. I
- 41:13Speaker 1: hate the Rams. I hate him worse than the forty
- 41:15Speaker 1: nine ers. Now, yeah, and I hate McVeigh and so like,
- 41:19Speaker 1: see and we're on the same page because I brought
- 41:20Speaker 1: that up, and Andrews is like, what are you talking about?
- 41:23Speaker 1: He's very hateable, And I said, listen, like, if we're
- 41:27Speaker 1: talking about the forty nine ers and the Rams, we're
- 41:29Speaker 1: talking about walking across hot coals with no shoes on
- 41:32Speaker 1: or poking yourself in the eye.
- 41:33Speaker 2: It's like, but.
- 41:34Speaker 1: All I'm telling you the worst of the two evils
- 41:37Speaker 1: is is you know, there we go just like we're
- 41:40Speaker 1: a little short pants and all that stuff. Like I
- 41:42Speaker 1: just don't like this dude. Man, I don't like him.
- 41:44Speaker 1: I really don't like him. So I'm kind of glad
- 41:46Speaker 1: to see actually can kick his ass on Sunday.
- 41:50Speaker 10: If if you if you're not sure if you hate him,
- 41:53Speaker 10: I mean not only just because they're playing the Seahawks
- 41:54Speaker 10: this we can go back and watch the uh the
- 41:58Speaker 10: training camp with the Rams a couple years ago.
- 41:59Speaker 2: And he was like he must have gotten buffed up
- 42:02Speaker 2: for that.
- 42:02Speaker 10: He was self tanning every day and he would sit
- 42:04Speaker 10: in his pool and he would talk to his model
- 42:06Speaker 10: girlfriend and it.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Was like, oh my god, you're vomitedducing.
- 42:08Speaker 10: And if that's not bad enough, I remember covering a
- 42:11Speaker 10: game in that stadium, Ribs who's use was no fan
- 42:16Speaker 10: and with the guitar playing girl, and he ran down.
- 42:19Speaker 2: The sidelines when the Rams took a seventeen.
- 42:21Speaker 10: Zero lead in the last regular season game in the
- 42:25Speaker 10: end a couple of years ago, and it was gonna
- 42:26Speaker 10: knock the nine Ers out of the playoffs. Niners came
- 42:28Speaker 10: back and beat him. It was incredible. He was in
- 42:30Speaker 10: the end zone dancing with the tight end. I couldn't
- 42:33Speaker 10: remember who it was, and it was like we were
- 42:35Speaker 10: in the booth, just seating. And then to see the
- 42:36Speaker 10: forty nine ers come back might have been one of
- 42:38Speaker 10: the greatest days of my life, outside of my divorce
- 42:41Speaker 10: and my child being born, but maybe like third best
- 42:44Speaker 10: day of my life, third best, Okay, So could just
- 42:50Speaker 10: look at it, and I had binoculars and I'm just
- 42:51Speaker 10: looking at him. He looks like a rat, like when
- 42:53Speaker 10: you've got these little beady eyes.
- 42:55Speaker 1: And let me let me get the airline, by the way,
- 42:57Speaker 1: let me take a step. He's gonna be bald in years. Divorce, divorce,
- 43:01Speaker 1: divorcing former fangirl wife. She's that was two.
- 43:06Speaker 2: This was going to happen.
- 43:07Speaker 1: That was That's too, like your son George, who's going
- 43:11Speaker 1: to be a lot more successful than you probably already is.
- 43:15Speaker 1: But your son George being born, that was number one,
- 43:18Speaker 1: that was ahead of the divorce, right, yeah.
- 43:19Speaker 2: One. Just to confer, I found something out last night.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 43:24Speaker 10: Pat McAfee and Mark Cuban were both born in Pittsburgh
- 43:27Speaker 10: and they were going at it last night. They were
- 43:29Speaker 10: born in the same hospital as my son respitals. Mark, Yeah,
- 43:33Speaker 10: I swear And I found out last night because they
- 43:35Speaker 10: were talking about it's called the Geese Women's Hospital in
- 43:37Speaker 10: Pittsburgh into it.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Oh we're both and I'm like, oh my god, that
- 43:39Speaker 2: my son was born. So you go.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Well anyway, so George George one, Dana divorce too, and
- 43:46Speaker 1: then we move on from there, right, okay, just double checking,
- 43:49Speaker 1: so being McVay street, Okay, good. I just want to
- 43:54Speaker 1: confront on long with us. I want to do a
- 43:56Speaker 1: quick nighter thing because I think it still matters what
- 43:58Speaker 1: happens in your own division, even looking ahead before we
- 44:01Speaker 1: get to this weekend, and get your thoughts on that.
- 44:02Speaker 1: And also you can tell people why Seahawk fans are
- 44:05Speaker 1: not going to like what they see when the guys
- 44:06Speaker 1: walk out on the field. They officiate the the the
- 44:11Speaker 1: forty nine ers situation. Going into next season, you would assume, Okay,
- 44:15Speaker 1: get an off season to get healthy and all that.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Is there a concern at all. We touched on this
- 44:19Speaker 1: last week but got another game in which McCaffrey is
- 44:22Speaker 1: just a non factor. Is the tread and the tires
- 44:25Speaker 1: getting a little thin there?
- 44:27Speaker 10: Oh, anytime you get near thirty years old, and you know,
- 44:30Speaker 10: he keeps himself in as good a shape as you can.
- 44:33Speaker 2: I mean, he's a freak.
- 44:34Speaker 10: And he eats, you know, he's like Bertyes the way
- 44:36Speaker 10: that he eats, and you know he's gonna do it
- 44:38Speaker 10: as long as he can. But Kyle Shanahan just can't
- 44:41Speaker 10: help it. I think part of it is Kyle Brian
- 44:43Speaker 10: Robinson's a decent running back or backup running back, and
- 44:45Speaker 10: it just doesn't matter.
- 44:46Speaker 9: You know.
- 44:46Speaker 10: Kyle's just like, oh my god, we got we gotta
- 44:49Speaker 10: have Christian there. We've got to have Christian in there.
- 44:50Speaker 10: So you know what he's got to start to realize
- 44:52Speaker 10: is and this is I'm gonna make a quick warriors thing.
- 44:54Speaker 2: It's called the NBA. I don't know if you remember it.
- 44:56Speaker 1: No, No, idea.
- 44:57Speaker 10: They they use Steph Kerr. The Warriors do like twenty
- 45:02Speaker 10: seven to twenty eight minutes to night. I mean, would
- 45:04Speaker 10: they be better if you played thirty five minutes to night.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Yeah, But the.
- 45:06Speaker 10: Thing is they want him to play longer. And so
- 45:09Speaker 10: the what the forty nine ers do with Christian McCaffrey
- 45:12Speaker 10: is they like to They keep saying every single year
- 45:14Speaker 10: they're gonna use them less, and then they use them more.
- 45:16Speaker 10: He had the most touches in the league this year,
- 45:18Speaker 10: most catches, most carried all that kind of stuff combined.
- 45:22Speaker 10: And the problem with that is because they had so
- 45:24Speaker 10: many injuries, they had to over use them. But you
- 45:26Speaker 10: can't keep doing this, And like you said, he finally
- 45:28Speaker 10: just he hit the wall against the Seahawks.
- 45:31Speaker 2: He got hurt. And as much as he wants to
- 45:33Speaker 2: win himself, and as much as Kyle Shanahan wants.
- 45:35Speaker 10: To use him, even though he says he's not going
- 45:37Speaker 10: to overuse him, he does. That's an absolute concern. Given
- 45:40Speaker 10: the fact too, that Kittle and Kittle came out yesterday.
- 45:42Speaker 10: I was at their locker room clean out the other
- 45:45Speaker 10: day and he said, you know, the Achilles terror isn't
- 45:48Speaker 10: as bad as it could have been, but it's still bad.
- 45:49Speaker 10: And he's thirty two, and I don't know that he's
- 45:51Speaker 10: gonna be back next year. I mean, they're going the
- 45:53Speaker 10: wrong way. And what they need is exactly what happened
- 45:56Speaker 10: with the Seahawks. Exactly what happened with the Rams. Whether
- 45:58Speaker 10: you want admitt it.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Or not, hitting all these picks, not just first round
- 46:02Speaker 2: or second round or third round, is.
- 46:03Speaker 10: They're hitting all the mid rounds. And so the last
- 46:04Speaker 10: couple of years, the Seahawks and Rams have killed it
- 46:06Speaker 10: through the draft. The Niners have gotten here and there,
- 46:09Speaker 10: but not like when they were, you know, up in
- 46:11Speaker 10: the division with you guys, and with the Rams, they're
- 46:13Speaker 10: just they're going the wrong way, and the age is
- 46:15Speaker 10: going the wrong way.
- 46:15Speaker 2: That's that's the biggest part. That's unfortunate.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Uh, John Lujoy just right, everyone's crying softunate.
- 46:23Speaker 2: Look at that evil like a Vincent Price lab right there.
- 46:26Speaker 2: Oh God, very evil, very evil. Hey, get everybody.
- 46:30Speaker 1: So I just sent I just realized I just sent
- 46:35Speaker 1: Jess and Anders the text from Lone yesterday. Ye see,
- 46:38Speaker 1: I know it's a hunker. It's war in peace is
- 46:41Speaker 1: what it is.
- 46:41Speaker 2: But yeah, let me explain this Okay, So, so I
- 46:45Speaker 2: was just screwing around just because everybody does this and
- 46:47Speaker 2: everybody's on the officials. Now what's the cats?
- 46:49Speaker 10: I mean, my god, are we are we really still
- 46:51Speaker 10: at the point in the NFL we don't know what
- 46:53Speaker 10: one of the most basic things is a CATS. But
- 46:56Speaker 10: I was just messing around because people do this all
- 46:57Speaker 10: the time, and you can look up this stuff on
- 47:00Speaker 10: Pro Football Reference.
- 47:01Speaker 2: But Clay Martin's the official, So I just looked it up.
- 47:04Speaker 10: Well, he's been a he's been a line judge, he's
- 47:06Speaker 10: been all that stuff. But since he's been a referee,
- 47:08Speaker 10: which is the head guy there that gets on TV.
- 47:11Speaker 10: Since twenty nineteen, he has been the head ref He's
- 47:14Speaker 10: been the referee for seven Rams games. They're seven to no,
- 47:18Speaker 10: they're four to o on the road. And now logically
- 47:20Speaker 10: you'd say, well, the Rams have been pretty.
- 47:22Speaker 2: Good well on the road. They've beaten the Niners.
- 47:24Speaker 10: Twice, the Texans, and they beat the Seahawks a couple
- 47:28Speaker 10: of years ago twenty six to twenty twelve penalties for
- 47:31Speaker 10: ninety five yards. Now, look, you may not be a
- 47:33Speaker 10: conspiracy theorist, all I'm saying. And by the way, in
- 47:36Speaker 10: the same period of time they've done. He's done six
- 47:38Speaker 10: Seahawks games. They're four and two. The last one, if
- 47:42Speaker 10: you remember Jacksonville in October, they won twenty to twelve.
- 47:45Speaker 10: He refereed that game. So am I saying that they're
- 47:47Speaker 10: not going to win the game. No, But what I
- 47:50Speaker 10: am saying is for all these little details that the
- 47:53Speaker 10: the NFL does in the offseason, these stupid things that
- 47:56Speaker 10: they change and all the you know, sportsmanship stuff.
- 47:59Speaker 1: You looked at a run that's fifteen yards.
- 48:02Speaker 10: Like they're changing all these dumb rules that you don't
- 48:04Speaker 10: need to change if a guy had You've got all
- 48:07Speaker 10: these officials, right, we're down to four teams.
- 48:09Speaker 2: We've only got two games. If you're down to these
- 48:12Speaker 2: this amount of.
- 48:13Speaker 10: Officials, you shouldn't in a in a league that's a
- 48:16Speaker 10: little bit sketchy. And the biggest thing is you've got
- 48:18Speaker 10: to have credibility. This isn't wrestling, after all. Why do
- 48:21Speaker 10: you have an official in a game that's seven and
- 48:24Speaker 10: oh for one team?
- 48:26Speaker 2: I just I don't like it.
- 48:27Speaker 10: And it might be a small sample size and it
- 48:29Speaker 10: may not matter, and the Seahawks may crush the Rams
- 48:32Speaker 10: on Sunday, it's very.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Possible, but I'm just if you're looking at that, you
- 48:35Speaker 2: have all these different officials.
- 48:37Speaker 10: That you can choose from, don't choose one that's got
- 48:39Speaker 10: a seven and oh record with the Rams, by the way,
- 48:41Speaker 10: four and oh on the road, seven and oh overall
- 48:43Speaker 10: for the Rams. The last game he did for the
- 48:45Speaker 10: Rams was a twenty. It was a thirty four to
- 48:47Speaker 10: seven win over the Bucks, and they had a whopping
- 48:49Speaker 10: total of four penalties called against them. Again, maybe that's
- 48:53Speaker 10: just all a coincidence. It might be, but he's seven
- 48:56Speaker 10: to oh in.
- 48:57Speaker 2: Calling Rams games in his career as a referee, four
- 48:59Speaker 2: and on the road. Doesn't call mini penalties against the Rams.
- 49:02Speaker 2: The Rams are a discipline football team. I get that.
- 49:05Speaker 10: But I'm simply saying, you have all these referees that
- 49:07Speaker 10: you can choose from. All are pretty good, and I
- 49:09Speaker 10: get it. There's a points system and he probably deserves it.
- 49:12Speaker 2: But don't let.
- 49:13Speaker 10: Speculation like I did because I'm a dummy and I
- 49:16Speaker 10: got nothing better to do in my life. Don't let
- 49:18Speaker 10: someone like me go out and find out that he's
- 49:20Speaker 10: seven to zero and four on the road for one team.
- 49:22Speaker 2: That just doesn't look good for the league.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Right, No, you're right, and remind me, guys tomorrow when
- 49:28Speaker 1: we have homegron On, I'll bring this up with him
- 49:30Speaker 1: because I don't know, I'll go back to the Super
- 49:33Speaker 1: Bowl thirty eight, oh Detroit. Yeah, I know, Bill Levy
- 49:38Speaker 1: has now left us. He's no longer here the referee
- 49:41Speaker 1: of that game. But you'll be shocked to know one
- 49:44Speaker 1: that some that Holmegren still isn't happy about that that
- 49:48Speaker 1: particular game.
- 49:49Speaker 2: The no.
- 49:50Speaker 1: So yeah, A fishing matters well, especially because when teams
- 49:54Speaker 1: are preparing for a game, you know this from covering
- 49:57Speaker 1: like I did for years. The teams are actually also
- 50:00Speaker 1: like who's the officials? Okay, so pass interference like they
- 50:04Speaker 1: they go through what do they call is passingerferen No,
- 50:07Speaker 1: they don't really worry that. You can get a hand
- 50:08Speaker 1: fight a little bit. You can do that right. Holding, Yeah,
- 50:11Speaker 1: big holding gotta be really careful for you here. I
- 50:13Speaker 1: mean all those things that you know, especially the fifty
- 50:16Speaker 1: to fifty calls, holding PI things like that. They know
- 50:19Speaker 1: all those things going in. But seven and zero for
- 50:21Speaker 1: the Rams, that's that's pretty it.
- 50:24Speaker 10: That seven to zero and four and oh on the
- 50:27Speaker 10: road and the Seahawks. He's done only two home games
- 50:29Speaker 10: for Seattle. One was a loss to the Rams twenty
- 50:32Speaker 10: six to twenty where they had twelve penalties for ninety
- 50:34Speaker 10: five yards, and one was a win against the Eagles
- 50:36Speaker 10: in twenty twenty three. And again, maybe you're not a
- 50:39Speaker 10: conspiracy theorist and you think I'm on crack, which very
- 50:41Speaker 10: may well maybe the case, but that's irrelevant to the point.
- 50:44Speaker 10: But I just don't think when you're down to four teams,
- 50:48Speaker 10: when you look at, hey, this guy's earned it, and.
- 50:50Speaker 2: I get it.
- 50:50Speaker 10: Didn't flip the officials, you know what I mean? Because
- 50:52Speaker 10: I looked at the other official who's doing the AFC
- 50:55Speaker 10: and his name is escaping me right now. But he
- 50:57Speaker 10: didn't have any of those kind of records, Like there's
- 50:58Speaker 10: not a Patriots Broncos bias either way. He didn't have
- 51:02Speaker 10: a Seahawks or Rams bias. Like I just think you
- 51:05Speaker 10: can find that way, especially given the fact that officiating
- 51:09Speaker 10: right now is at the top of everybody's mind.
- 51:10Speaker 2: And everybody's kind of pissed about it. We're back to
- 51:12Speaker 2: not knowing what it.
- 51:13Speaker 10: Catches, and officials are becoming too big of a part
- 51:16Speaker 10: of the game. And contrast that with the fact that
- 51:19Speaker 10: the NFL is always nippicking on dumb things that they
- 51:22Speaker 10: don't need to change about the sport because they just
- 51:25Speaker 10: want to change something about.
- 51:26Speaker 2: The sport and stay in the headlines. And it's just dumb.
- 51:28Speaker 10: But something this important, when you're talking about who goes
- 51:31Speaker 10: to the Super Bowl, I just don't. I just think
- 51:33Speaker 10: it's bad optics at best. If you have a guy
- 51:36Speaker 10: that's seven to zero for the Rams, four to oh
- 51:38Speaker 10: on the road and he's officiating a championship game in
- 51:41Speaker 10: which there's only two games left, and you could easily
- 51:43Speaker 10: slide somebody else in there that doesn't have that kind
- 51:46Speaker 10: of a record, so that at least looks better.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Well, what you're telling us, is it Seattle screwed. That's
- 51:51Speaker 1: what you're telling us.
- 51:52Speaker 2: I think they're screwed. Yeah, that's screwed. Sent out that tweet.
- 51:56Speaker 10: I congratulated, you know that rap faced Sean McVay already
- 52:00Speaker 10: fine receiving Sean McVay.
- 52:03Speaker 1: Who's gonna need a transplant, man.
- 52:07Speaker 3: Yeah, not like your own coach doesn't have a smug
- 52:11Speaker 3: attitude about him too.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Oh he is. Oh, there's no doubt. No, there's no doubt.
- 52:15Speaker 2: He's he's you know what, he's a good guy. Though
- 52:18Speaker 2: he does have that in the in the public eye.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Behind the scenes, he is a really good guy. And
- 52:23Speaker 2: maybe Sean mcvays two. But I'll never find out.
- 52:25Speaker 1: No, we don't. We don't like Alex. Alex Alex camp
- 52:32Speaker 1: Is the referee is the referee for the game.
- 52:34Speaker 10: Yeah, and I looked his stuff up too, and there
- 52:36Speaker 10: was no bias. There was I mean, I can't remember
- 52:39Speaker 10: off the top of my head. I think Denver's like four
- 52:40Speaker 10: and two or something. About halfway through, I quit going
- 52:43Speaker 10: down the rabbit hole because I know there's nothing fun here.
- 52:45Speaker 10: But Clay Martin's a totally different story, the guy doing
- 52:49Speaker 10: the Seahawks rams.
- 52:50Speaker 1: The best thing is it doesn't take much to Google
- 52:51Speaker 1: to see Yeah, Rams seven and zero. I mean it's
- 52:55Speaker 1: right there. Oh my god.
- 52:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying is the league knows that. The league
- 53:00Speaker 2: knows that. It's like, I get it, his point system.
- 53:03Speaker 10: He deserves the game. But you just you can't do it.
- 53:05Speaker 10: You cannot have something perceived to be biased like that.
- 53:09Speaker 10: And then so you know, again, me and you are
- 53:11Speaker 10: having a conversation and if they win and it's a
- 53:13Speaker 10: controversial call, then they're gonna they're gonna That's what everybody's
- 53:16Speaker 10: gonna talk about the everybody is gonna go look it up,
- 53:18Speaker 10: and everybody's gonna go see and what does the NFL
- 53:20Speaker 10: have on his hands? Another controversy involving officials. They love
- 53:23Speaker 10: being talked about and they think that all publicity is
- 53:26Speaker 10: good publicity. But not when people are questioning, you know,
- 53:30Speaker 10: the authority of your sport.
- 53:31Speaker 2: That's not good, all.
- 53:32Speaker 1: Right, So give me your thoughts. You're I don't know
- 53:35Speaker 1: if you're biased, because are you objective because you don't
- 53:38Speaker 1: like McVeigh and you probably don't like either one of
- 53:40Speaker 1: these teams, But some thoughts on the game on Sunday.
- 53:44Speaker 2: Well, you know, the thing is what it comes down to,
- 53:47Speaker 2: and this is all very cliche, but if you were
- 53:48Speaker 2: gonna put that's why, you know.
- 53:50Speaker 10: I was hoping the Bears too, because for the seahawks sake,
- 53:52Speaker 10: because they don't know you, you know, and I saw
- 53:54Speaker 10: the Bears in the forty nine ers. I don't think
- 53:56Speaker 10: it's a very good defense. Kayleb Williams makes a lot
- 53:58Speaker 10: of mistakes. The Seahawks would have taken a lot of
- 53:59Speaker 10: advantage that and I think they easily win that football game.
- 54:02Speaker 10: But then, when you know teams so well, and you
- 54:04Speaker 10: know this, and the Seahawks and forty nine Ers have
- 54:07Speaker 10: played for championships. When you get down to that third game,
- 54:10Speaker 10: you know what you want to do, They know what
- 54:12Speaker 10: you want to do.
- 54:13Speaker 2: You know, maybe Mike McDonald held.
- 54:15Speaker 10: Some stuff back, maybe Sean McVay held some stuff back,
- 54:18Speaker 10: but you know what, that second game in Seattle, they
- 54:20Speaker 10: just let her rip. And so they pretty much know.
- 54:23Speaker 10: There's not a whole lot of secrets between.
- 54:24Speaker 2: These two teams, and so it's all cliche, but it's execution.
- 54:29Speaker 10: Who's gonna ask you better block, tackle? Basic stuff like that,
- 54:32Speaker 10: and then you know what it comes down to you
- 54:34Speaker 10: Every single time, it feels like, especially in these playoffs,
- 54:36Speaker 10: there's just been a lot of them turnovers.
- 54:38Speaker 2: I mean, look at all these games, how many turnovers
- 54:40Speaker 2: there's been.
- 54:41Speaker 10: I mean the Seahawks and the forty nine Ers, that
- 54:43Speaker 10: obviously the Texans and you know Josh Allen's you know,
- 54:46Speaker 10: all his fumbles and turn It just seems like this round,
- 54:49Speaker 10: last round of playoffs is all bit about turnovers.
- 54:51Speaker 2: So you know, you got to play clean football. That's
- 54:53Speaker 2: what it comes down to.
- 54:54Speaker 10: You got to play clean football against the Rams because
- 54:55Speaker 10: I know this even though I just said.
- 54:57Speaker 2: There was bias with the referees.
- 54:59Speaker 10: The Rams do play generally unless Stafford gets into some stuff.
- 55:02Speaker 10: They play some pretty clean football unless you can force
- 55:05Speaker 10: Stafford to move off his spot, and then it's a
- 55:08Speaker 10: little bit different. And then the other thing is what
- 55:10Speaker 10: drives me crazy. I don't know how Pooka gets so.
- 55:12Speaker 2: Damn open against the Seahawks. What did he have? Two
- 55:15Speaker 2: twenty five that last day?
- 55:17Speaker 6: But he did it last week and two anywhere else
- 55:19Speaker 6: he did it last weekend.
- 55:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's I mean, they have.
- 55:25Speaker 2: And nobody covers them.
- 55:26Speaker 10: It's like, put put three guys on him, like you've
- 55:29Speaker 10: got to throw it somewhere else, you know, Like you
- 55:33Speaker 10: can love Belichick hate Milichick. He would go into every
- 55:36Speaker 10: single game going, look, I'm taking this away, so if
- 55:39Speaker 10: you want.
- 55:39Speaker 2: To beat us, you're gonna have to beat us another way.
- 55:41Speaker 10: It drives me crazy, and I know the Seahawks aren't
- 55:44Speaker 10: gonna change it. And this even goes back to Pete
- 55:46Speaker 10: where look, they keep their guys on one side of
- 55:48Speaker 10: the field. Whoever comes out comes out. But hell, man,
- 55:51Speaker 10: if I'm the Seahawks, Devin Weatherspoon, you got twelve.
- 55:54Speaker 2: I mean we're gonna we're gonna throw.
- 55:55Speaker 10: You know, I just said, there's no wrinkles in this thing.
- 55:57Speaker 10: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw twenty one on twelve and
- 56:00Speaker 10: just like, Okay, my best, your best, let's see what happens.
- 56:02Speaker 2: They're not gonna do it. No, but that's you. You
- 56:05Speaker 2: control Pooka Akua. You can beat the Rams.
- 56:07Speaker 10: I think they'll stop the run. I think that you know,
- 56:09Speaker 10: you can get after Matthew Stafford. But twelve is the magician.
- 56:13Speaker 10: And the last time these two teams saw each.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Other, man, it was ridiculous. They got to do something sports,
- 56:17Speaker 2: do something.
- 56:17Speaker 1: Sports cliche coming. But I think because we're you know,
- 56:20Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people that probably feel
- 56:21Speaker 1: this way, especially after the Knicks injury. This is a
- 56:24Speaker 1: super Bowl, isn't it.
- 56:24Speaker 10: What are this team when the AFC sk The AFC stinks.
- 56:30Speaker 10: In fact, you know what I was trying to get
- 56:32Speaker 10: All these people were calling in on the west Wood
- 56:33Speaker 10: one show, and they were they were crying, these Bronco
- 56:36Speaker 10: fans and I hate the Broncos too.
- 56:38Speaker 2: And so.
- 56:42Speaker 1: Do you like anybody?
- 56:44Speaker 2: I like Jess a little bit. Jess is cool.
- 56:46Speaker 4: Thank you for the Valentine's Steak card.
- 56:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I center a Valentine's Day from Sean mcday today.
- 56:52Speaker 7: But you get an in depth breakdown of the referee
- 56:55Speaker 7: and crew, and I get a Valentine's Steak card from
- 56:57Speaker 7: Sean McVay winking.
- 56:59Speaker 1: That was funny.
- 57:00Speaker 2: That's what I gave you. But hey, the one thing
- 57:03Speaker 2: is I was really hung over this day. So I
- 57:06Speaker 2: think this happened, but I'm not sure. But it was
- 57:08Speaker 2: in Las Vegas.
- 57:09Speaker 10: I flew into Las Vegas and the Niners played the
- 57:12Speaker 10: Raiders on January first, twenty twenty four, and Jarrett Stidham
- 57:17Speaker 10: started for the Raiders and he went twenty two of
- 57:19Speaker 10: thirty five for three hundred and sixty five yards and
- 57:22Speaker 10: three touchdowns. And the Niners went to the Super Bowl
- 57:25Speaker 10: like a month.
- 57:25Speaker 2: Later, so they weren't bad.
- 57:27Speaker 10: And the Niners beat the Raiders in overtime thirty seven
- 57:30Speaker 10: thirty four, and we were like what. And I went
- 57:32Speaker 10: down to the Raiders side because I always go to
- 57:34Speaker 10: the night. I went to the Raiders side to just
- 57:35Speaker 10: talk to Stidham, like, what in the heck was that?
- 57:38Speaker 10: That was his best game as a pro. He's only
- 57:40Speaker 10: started four games. He hasn't thrown a pass in two years.
- 57:44Speaker 2: I would love it if it was.
- 57:45Speaker 10: You know, then you get another Broncos Seahawks, they probably
- 57:47Speaker 10: blow him out the same way you and I hung
- 57:49Speaker 10: out in New York that year.
- 57:50Speaker 2: That was awesome. But anyway, I digress. But yeah, that
- 57:54Speaker 2: was Stidham's best game of his career. And I sat
- 57:56Speaker 2: there and watched.
- 57:57Speaker 10: The dang thing live, going, who is this guy? So,
- 57:59Speaker 10: I mean, is he is he gonna do that again?
- 58:02Speaker 10: Probably not, but it is in there somewhere.
- 58:05Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean, that's just that's a tall task.
- 58:08Speaker 1: A guy that hasn't taken snaps and it's just going
- 58:10Speaker 1: to jump in there, and it's I mean, that is
- 58:13Speaker 1: a tall, tall task. I can't I mean I can't.
- 58:17Speaker 1: I can't see that happening.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Man.
- 58:18Speaker 1: There's just no chance, right, There's.
- 58:20Speaker 2: Just no no.
- 58:21Speaker 10: And here's here's the other thing, too, is two quarterbacks
- 58:25Speaker 10: have gone this deep in the playoffs and thrown Actually,
- 58:28Speaker 10: he's only.
- 58:28Speaker 2: Thrown one hundred and ninety seven career passes. Jeff Hostetler
- 58:32Speaker 2: ninety they won the Super Bowl. He threw less than
- 58:34Speaker 2: one hundred in his career before those playoffs.
- 58:37Speaker 10: Vince Ferragamo of the Rams Wow played the Steelers in
- 58:40Speaker 10: the super Bowl in nineteen eighty he had thrown less
- 58:44Speaker 10: than one hundred passes. But the difference is those guys
- 58:47Speaker 10: in the playoffs played up till that point. This guy's
- 58:51Speaker 10: being asked to play right now with one hundred and
- 58:53Speaker 10: ninety seven career throws and he hasn't taken a snap
- 58:57Speaker 10: from center in two years in a regular season, let
- 59:01Speaker 10: alone a playoff game. So, I mean, can you imagine
- 59:04Speaker 10: after the game when Nick it was announced nixes out.
- 59:07Speaker 10: I mean that dude's like, are you kidding me? Really
- 59:10Speaker 10: he doesn't want to I bet he doesn't want to play.
- 59:12Speaker 2: I mean he's just like, oh, well.
- 59:14Speaker 1: The the funny thing is is that you know, we
- 59:17Speaker 1: we were staring Drew locked down the barrel here on
- 59:19Speaker 1: Friday last week.
- 59:21Speaker 10: I mean yeah, Like you can't imagine the prayers that
- 59:26Speaker 10: were going up against you guys. Anything else start will
- 59:31Speaker 10: be out?
- 59:34Speaker 1: Yeah Thursday one thirty, Like here comes the injury port
- 59:36Speaker 1: out of the blue and it says, you know, questionable,
- 59:39Speaker 1: be like, what what the hell?
- 59:41Speaker 2: You know?
- 59:44Speaker 1: That's right?
- 59:44Speaker 2: That was after you and I talked.
- 59:45Speaker 10: I think, oh, there was a celebration people were having seances.
- 59:49Speaker 2: Down here, like, dear Lord, I won't ask you for
- 59:51Speaker 2: another thing. Just let Drew Locke play.
- 59:54Speaker 10: I think Locke probably beats him anyway, but still, everybody up, everybody.
- 59:57Speaker 1: Down here was just like, please please Drew Locke, considering
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Donald only through the ball seventeen times. I think it
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: wouldn't matter if it was Jalen Milroe in there, to
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: be honest with you, buddy, Yeah.
- 1:00:07Speaker 10: It could have been Jim Zorn, know, Dave Craig, I
- 1:00:10Speaker 10: mean like right now, not back then, just now Jim
- 1:00:13Speaker 10: Zorn today.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Dude looks like you can still play. He's seventy something
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: years old. That that's like, God, I can't believe it. Yeah,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: he's some guys all the luck.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Huh.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: All right, tell people about where we can find you.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: Listen to you what you have going on?

- 1:00:46Speaker 10: a really high level, which is difficult for me anyway, And.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: I'm watching the game and so like last.
- 1:00:52Speaker 10: Week, I was on the air when the Bears when
- 1:00:54Speaker 10: Caleb Williams who that hail Mary? Basically the Cole Comet,
- 1:00:58Speaker 10: And I'm just talking away, talking away, talk and way,
- 1:01:00Speaker 10: and then.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I went, oh my god.
- 1:01:02Speaker 10: And everybody was like my producers looking at me like
- 1:01:05Speaker 10: what are you doing?
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: Like what just happened?
- 1:01:07Speaker 10: I was just talking normally and then I yelled, oh
- 1:01:08Speaker 10: my god. And I was like, oh, you probably want
- 1:01:11Speaker 10: to know what happened there? You know, what did you yell?
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Hey?
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: What did you yell when when DJ Moore broke off
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: his his route and came up through the interception.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: With that guy.
- 1:01:21Speaker 10: Yeah, brutal, and they give me and they always give
- 1:01:24Speaker 10: the interception to the quarterback and.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: Everybody's screaming at the quarterback.
- 1:01:26Speaker 10: Meanwhile he's like lolly gagging around, running like an l route.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: You know, just kept taking the scenic route to the ball.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: It's like, dude, get there at some point, Well I will.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: I will check in with you on Sunday. And our

- 1:01:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:55Speaker 10: In the Bay Area, everything l a bad, which is easy.
- 1:01:58Speaker 10: I hate the Dodgers, hate the Lakers, hate the Bronte Yeah,
- 1:02:01Speaker 10: hate Stafford.
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: You get the idea.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: I blame McVeigh for Kyle Tucker signing with the Dodgers.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: I think it's all his faults, right, it's always you know.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: And their GM's a tool as well, by the way,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: like Lespie, I think he's just come on, man. Yeah,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: they're easy, so easy to hate. All right, I'll check

- 1:02:52Speaker 8: three kJ R FM.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: Now here's ian.
- 1:02:57Speaker 11: Ian Jacob from Sultan. I have watched every snap and
- 1:03:03Speaker 11: compared the Seahawks to twenty thirteen team, and it's a
- 1:03:08Speaker 11: lot different this year. Don't sweat it, don't stress. We're
- 1:03:13Speaker 11: gonna blow the Rams out, trust me, McVeigh.
- 1:03:19Speaker 10: Adderall is a hell of a drug.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: Curly, you should cut back on it before press conferences.
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: Rams by far, that sweaty little McVeigh. He looks like
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: he just can't even clothe. Like he doesn't even have islands.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: Go Hawks de horn them?
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Oh, I like it doesn't even have h So first one,
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: don't sweat. I love the confidence, absolutely love the confidence
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: of the first guy that called in Jacob not sweating it.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: We'll see what happens now. The other two Rams hate
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Rams hate the adderall one, adderall like, relax, McVeigh, huh,
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: hell of a drug. Give me the next two?
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:04:04Speaker 9: My point is the culture of Mike McDonald was most
- 1:04:07Speaker 9: seen to me in that game by the second ken
- 1:04:11Speaker 9: Walker touchdown, When you saw your two tight ends.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: Both nailed perfect.
- 1:04:17Speaker 9: Blocks and turn around and chest bump and hug each other,
- 1:04:21Speaker 9: celebrating good blocking.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: That is the culture of this team.
- 1:04:26Speaker 11: Everyone in Ian, Jacob and Sultan here there is an
- 1:04:30Speaker 11: Indiana football. One is because they have your own men
- 1:04:36Speaker 11: in their mid twenties playing teenage boys and boys in
- 1:04:42Speaker 11: their early twenties. Not quite men yet anyway.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: That's my thoughts, Jacob. I liked your first one. The
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: second one. Miami's offensive line. Four of the five guys
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: were upperclassmen. Think one guy was a six year senior?
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: What not Baines? What's the other pass rusher? Mensada whatever
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: his name is, right, he's a six year guy? Like, No, No,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: that's no, there's just as old.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Three?
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: Is that all?
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: I thought he, I know he graduated two years ago.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: I thought he was at least twenty eight. All right,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: we have one more? Two more? Where we have two more?
- 1:05:27Speaker 5: Fire away, Ian Sik your hands and put them flat
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: on the table.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: In front of you.
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: Thumbs down, done, Jessemine, find a ruler or stick and
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: smack them across the fingers.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Don't ever, ever, ever root for the forty nine ers. Ever,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: It's not what I said. Unless you have money on it.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Hang on, you don't play the next one yet. I
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: never said root for him. I just said, what's the
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: lesser of two evils? So the Niners were playing the Rams,
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: I would root for the forty nine ers. But that's
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: not what we're talking about today.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: No, we're not.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: That's not we're talking about today. You just say you
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: hate the Rams more. I despise the Rams everything about them.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Is it anything to do with you covering games there? Yes,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do okay, yes, And
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: how they treat the media where they made us park. Sure,
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: I'm very petty and it's about me. All those things
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: are true. The fact that they got that DJ slash
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: P announcer screaming the whole house. Oh yeah, oh it's
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: so bad. Oh just rings to your ears.
- 1:06:28Speaker 4: And well somebody has to make noise there because they
- 1:06:30Speaker 4: don't have any fans.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: So yeah, it's I don't like. I like so far
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: though as a stadium specifically, but I hate everything about
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: the Rams. I hate everything about the PA guy, and
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: like now the food's good in the press box. I'll
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: say that they do a good job, but but no,
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: I I just don't like them. I just McVeigh drives
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: me nuts. And part of it is because they're good.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: Here's the thing, like, like Arizona's not even in the
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: conversation we're having right now, and they're also the division
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: right Like they're not even in the We're not even
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: having that conversation. Bring on the rams, kick their teeth in,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: be done with it, and we move on. We got
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: one more voice x before we get.
- 1:07:06Speaker 11: Some texts Ian Jacob here and Jacob how ken Walker
- 1:07:11Speaker 11: the third to a race engine. We just broke it
- 1:07:15Speaker 11: in through the whole season. There's two races left.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: Floor it, Jacob, I appreciate all the efforts. We need
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: more guys besides Jacob tomorrow, but that's all right. We
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: like Jacob. Jacob. Jacob giving us the car analogy is
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: probably sitting up there in the dirt track up there
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: in Skadget County. Yeah point, it's big up there. Yeah
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: all right? Uh two six, Tell Jacob and Sultan to
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: lay off the moonshine. We like Jacob. Jacob keep calling,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: we love you buddy, Thanks, Yeah, we're big. And Sultan
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: I figured out that's like three guys and Insultan that
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: now are we have at least three listeners in Sultan.
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: Steven Sultan, Derek and Sultan now Jacob and Jason Sultan. Yeah,
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: probably half the populations when we do a show in Sultan.
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: We need to do a show in Sultan.
- 1:08:02Speaker 4: Hey, Mike's property is right down the road, camp out.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: No, I want a bar? Is there a bar in Sultan? Well,
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: obviously there's a bar that's readily parents. There's a bar
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: up there. If you guys know some places Sultan, we
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: can do a show. We can hang out with Jacob,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Derek and who's the other guy, Steve Steve, Yeah, Sultan,
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: that's right, the literation guy, a literation a lot of
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: see two five three. Jacob's stoned, but he's cool as blank.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: I think I agree. All those things could be true,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: and we like Jacob. All the big minds come from Sultan,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: says the four two five to turn into a Sultan thing?
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: Also right, geez, I like it? Okay, let's see Ian
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: love John l John Lund. But serious questions. You have
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: cocaine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Who has more hymer
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: Sean mcday well, Lund can't affoord cocaine. He's got He's
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: got an ex wife and a kid in college. So
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: I know he can't afford cocaine and his ex wife,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: I'd say, as he's I made, and so he ain't.
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: There's no cocaine in Len's life. I can tell you
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: that right now. Let's see, Uh, hey, Lon, how could
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan be coach of the year if you lost
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: a division arrival twice going only three field goals in
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: total ghost games? Well they also beat Seattle too, so
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah.
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: Two total touchdowns over three games the Niners had against
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: the Seeds.
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: I love that. That's crazy. Well and look at look
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: at themccaffrey's numbers. Yeah, man, that's the thing that kind
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: of just that's why I asked him, And like, in
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: all seriousness, I was to ask him, like I if
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: I'm sitting there as a San Francisco fan right now
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: and I'm watching this, I'm I'm worried. I would be
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: worried because I don't know if it truly exists anymore.
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: But remember the whole thing when Marshawn was turning thirty
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: and like, we're not going to resign him because running
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: backs get thirty blah blah blah. But there's no doubt
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: that McCaffrey's not what he was. And if you don't,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: if you don't want don't believe me, that's fine. Go
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: back and listen to our conversation with Great co Sell
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: last Friday, and he said an assistant coach in the
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: NFL that he had taught you said a coach might
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: not an assistant, but a coach that he had talked
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: to that week. When we're going through tapes and film study.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Not if you guys know this, you can only tell
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: you what's on the tape. Really, yes, can't tell us
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: anything else. What's on the tape. That's all I can
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: tell you. And he was telling us that that coach
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: had said that there is no doubt in his mind
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: that McCaffrey is not as explosive as he was, which
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: makes sense.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: You get older and things don't always work as well.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: That's why.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: That's why I hear at least I don't know for me.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: Question for you guys on all cylinders.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: Do you think the Rashisha heat a kickoff return deserves
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: like a name like like the Beast Quake?
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: No, because it was a divisional game. Okay, all right,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: we're better than that. So it's the Beast quake. Yeah,
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: but that was that was iconic. That was he kicked
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: he is a kickoff return, Yeah, and avoided the kicker
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: trying to socker slide. And what the hell was that?
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: I was? You should have bet kicked out. I just
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: thought that he whiffed to he did. But that's dirty good,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: that is, That's all you know. Yeah, with Sean Payton
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: the Saints coach before bounty Gate, he was the coach
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: during during it. Yes, yes he it was Greg Williams,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: but if you think for a second that Sean Payton
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: was nothing to do with it.
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the captain of the ship.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: Somebody needs to tell McVeigh that he can wear shirts
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: and fit and that Ryan Seacrest wants his beard back.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: Jackass o. Man, Let's see, Uh could not agree more,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: just like the Rams, much more than Niners used to
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: like Stafford. But he's just become obnoxious now, those George
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: Washington teeth making more up stuff than they should not.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: To mention Pooka maybe the dumbest pos in the league.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: McVay can also blanket final thought. Perty and CMC seemed
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: like genuinely good dudes. Yeah, if I was gonna say
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: the mental of the question if you canna have a
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: beer with a guy? Yeah, Like, would you rather have
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: a beer with McVeigh and Stafford or with Purdy and cmc.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Cmc is gonna drink mineral water, so that's the that's
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: probably out. Yah, I'll go purty and see him see though.
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can need a coach. I don't
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: want to drink a beer with Kyle Shanan. I mean,
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: I know Lund said he was a good guy, but
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: I don't see it.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Gree with you and nothing but the rams A really
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: like ten years ago as a Differentnser because I couldn't
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: stand Kepernick. I like Perty Kittle and McCaffrey. Yeah, Kittle's
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: kind of likable. Kittle's very like, Oh, I love Kittle.
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: He's the only Niner that I really really like.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: Kathleen says, hate hate hate the Lambs. They've always had
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: our number. I love that they even beat us with
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: a four string quarterback in twenty fifteen. Oh, I remember
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: that twenty fifteen Who was I forget? I'm just thinking
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty game. Yeah, twenty twenty. Yeah, but
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: a cough came back in. You guys always forget that, Like,
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: because it gets brought up a lot.
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I just go back to Johnny Hecker.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: God, that the Johnny Hecker Gone show. Yeah, that was
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: that was the the hacker thing. Guy local guyh my god,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: that's right.
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: It was a quarterback in high school.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: Guy he went to walk to the high school. Did
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: you guys the time he was a guy that.
- 1:13:02Speaker 7: It wasn't repeated like twenty times on that broadcast.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Almost as much as they play, like let me just
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: spell something, because people are gonna bring this up all week,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: all right, and this drives me nuts when people do this.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: So the twenty twenty one while the twenty twenty season,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: when the Seahawks had the playoff game at home against
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: the Rams with no fans and Seahawks Champie, they lost
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: a game to John Wolford. Wolford got hurt, he threw
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: six passes, was in on two drives, he got hurt.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: Jared Goff came back in with a sore thumb and
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: played the rest of the game like that that it
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: was not John Wolford that beat you that game. So
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: when you get do me a favorite, whill you hear
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: that brought up this week by people? Remember the facts
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: of the game. You know who beat you that game?
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: Who really beat you that game? This is gonna be
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: this is a weird one. Got a little bit of
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: a twist. Cam Akers ran for one thirty one, the
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: same cam Akers who may be the backup to Ken
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: Walker on Saturday or Sunday. That's who beat you that game.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: Wolford played two series and got hurt and left, and Golf,
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: who wasn't supposed to play, came back in because he
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: had a sore thumb. But you got to beat by
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: cam Akers. Cam Flipping Acres went bananas that game. Alright,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: we're done, Bucks, I'm just like that was the twenty
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Have you not heard? How many times have you heard that? Yeah?
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: A lot like Lost with SHOs Wolf John's guy off
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: the street again played two series through six passes. The
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: other guy came in through twenty passes, and that would
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: be Jared Goff. Cam Akers ran for one seven year whatever.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: I just told you, it's that's who beat you all.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: In the rear view mirror, Yeah, new season, new game.
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: Softy jointed. Softy joined us next.
- 1:14:58Speaker 5: And I wanted to if I was It's just like,

- 1:15:32Speaker 5: I ate, well, I called the Graze. I got a
- 1:15:33Speaker 5: tape of me calling the Graze. You say, David, w
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: you're on the air girl. I wanted to call and
- 1:15:41Speaker 5: tell me about my wh I don't know. It was
- 1:15:44Speaker 5: something about the Manors or whatever time for you, I
- 1:15:47Speaker 5: was ripping the Mariners or something like that. I still
- 1:15:50Speaker 5: have vivid memories of listening to the gas Man when
- 1:15:53Speaker 5: the after the Huskies won the national championship in my room,
- 1:15:57Speaker 5: when I was probably what eighteen nineteen ninety he won
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: whatever it was, Yeah, listening to Mike on my old
- 1:16:03Speaker 5: Emerson boombox there back in the day here and Gas
- 1:16:07Speaker 5: was doing a game show that was just it was
- 1:16:09Speaker 5: the like the Like the Next Day or something. Okay,
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: he was talking about the Huskies. Weren't in the title,
- 1:16:13Speaker 5: and I still have vivid memories of that. So anyway,
- 1:16:15Speaker 5: whatever I was, I was driving in Yes, and I
- 1:16:17Speaker 5: heard you say that you know Indiana got a Heisman
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: Trophy winner. Dude, nobody thought Fernando Mendoza was gonna win
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: the Heisman Trophy.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: He was plus five thousands.
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: And when he went to Indiana, nobody even blink the site.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Listen, what are you talking about? But that was a
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: great scouting by Signetty, Sure it was, But give him
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: credit for that. That's what I did.
- 1:16:35Speaker 5: No unders play the tape, play not I say, I say,
- 1:16:42Speaker 5: you know what, I want to give Indiana credit. But
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. You know, they got a Heisman
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: Trophy winner in Mendoza.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: That's not what I said. It's absolutely what you taking,
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: like one sound by ounce, you're taking one sound by
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: down confirment and on the moment, what did I say?
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Scouting and talent evaluation more.
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: Than anything I will You guys are kind of both, right,
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: I'm not try and play both sides for the conversation.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: Point of the conversation was to say that the Chrisignetti
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: is kind of a one off the what he does.
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: I don't care about that.
- 1:17:14Speaker 5: I'm just just focusing on the comment about the tone
- 1:17:25Speaker 5: of your voice and the context of your commentary was
- 1:17:28Speaker 5: that you were not going to give them full credit
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: for Mendoza because the guy was Iesman Trophy winner.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: And you said that and you know it. And then
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: I asked, what do you say? What do you say?
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: I asked you, like, wasn't it didn't seem like there
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: was much of a market from frin end of Mendoza.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: The market there was a pretty good market.
- 1:17:44Speaker 5: Well, look market because they were desperate, that's why, because
- 1:17:47Speaker 5: they had no quarterback. And then and then what did
- 1:17:50Speaker 5: they do? They went out and got Carson Beck. Who
- 1:17:52Speaker 5: do you think then Mendoza.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: Yeah, but even even before they got back, I think
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: they want to mend.
- 1:17:58Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I mean, Beck was a pretty
- 1:17:59Speaker 5: big name me out of Georgia. If you're a coming
- 1:18:01Speaker 5: off an injury, you're a Miami Hurricane booster, you're like,
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: really the guy from cow.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: Like nobody thought Beck's coming off an injury.
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: I'll tell you what my alarm last night was a
