0:02
Speaker 1: Here comes Seattle into the offensive zone of the high
0:04
Speaker 1: slot as Winterton forced off the puck now turned over
0:07
Speaker 1: it front backhead scos Freddie Gatrol forces the turnover, undresses
0:17
Speaker 1: Calvin Pickard out in front, and the Seattle crackhead pulled
0:21
Speaker 1: back to within one twenty seven seconds to play in
0:24
Speaker 1: the first three to Edmonton.
0:29
Speaker 2: Nice that to Evertt and Ashley found the silver lining
0:33
Speaker 2: last night. There you go, Yeah, there you go.
0:35
Speaker 3: That was it.

0:57
Speaker 2: scoring and scoring.
0:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, wait till you the highlight in the ohow, it's
1:01
Speaker 3: not as optimistic as that one was.
1:02
Speaker 4: There wouldn't stop scoring. It was a lot wem make
1:07
Speaker 4: them stop scoring. At nine to four the final score
1:12
Speaker 4: last night. So the Kraken finally found some offense and
1:14
Speaker 4: then they couldn't stop Edmonton from doing whatever they wanted.
1:17
Speaker 4: Connor McDavid ended up with a hat trick. How did
1:20
Speaker 4: he not end up with six goals last night out
1:23
Speaker 4: of the nine? And so suddenly Lane Lambert's Kracking are
1:28
Speaker 4: in the midst of their first serious slump of the
1:31
Speaker 4: Lambert era. When they play defense, they can't score, and
1:37
Speaker 4: then when they score, they can't top stop the other
1:39
Speaker 4: team from scoring.
1:40
Speaker 2: And so four straight losses for the Kracking. They haven't
1:43
Speaker 2: scored on the power play in four games now, and
1:48
Speaker 2: they fall into eleven, eight and six on the year.
1:51
Speaker 2: They'll try to snap out of it tomorrow. They'll be
1:55
Speaker 2: at home against the Detroit Red Wings at seven o'clock.
1:58
Speaker 2: That's where we'll start our frost r cors Light Choose
2:01
Speaker 2: Chill headlines here on a Friday, let's rip through some
2:04
Speaker 2: other notes here. Of course, Selection Sunday coming up in
2:08
Speaker 2: college football, so that will be the culmination of conference
2:12
Speaker 2: championship week. In the college game, they're going to be
2:15
Speaker 2: games tonight of significance, and there is a chance that
2:19
Speaker 2: if James Madison wins over Troy tonight, they're goin to
2:23
Speaker 2: be two group of five teams that make the tournament field.
2:27
Speaker 2: The overcrowded tournament field where not all the worthy teams
2:31
Speaker 2: can get into the twelve team field. There is a
2:34
Speaker 2: chance that two group of five teams can get in
2:37
Speaker 2: because if Duke beats Virginia tomorrow night, James Madison, North
2:43
Speaker 2: Texas and Tulane all rank higher than Duke, so that
2:47
Speaker 2: means ACC doesn't get in and two group of five
2:50
Speaker 2: teams will get into the tournament field this year talk
2:54
Speaker 2: about some controversy. Put it to hear that conversation on Monday.
2:57

4:38
Speaker 6: fifty am tonight from Husky Stadium on.
4:40
Speaker 2: Fun looking forward to it. I can tell you're looking
4:43
Speaker 2: forward to it.
4:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, I enjoy I did it last year with Chris Kidd.
4:46
Speaker 6: I did the play by play last year when O'Dea
4:48
Speaker 6: beat Bellevue, and I've officiated a couple of O Day
4:52
Speaker 6: games this year. I'm familiar a little bit with them,
4:54
Speaker 6: so yeah, it's yeah, it's fun. It's fun for the
4:57
Speaker 6: kids to be in Husky Stadium. That they did it
4:59
Speaker 6: right at WI credit Gen Cohen she got that done
5:02
Speaker 6: before she left for USC, and many around college athletics
5:08
Speaker 6: wanted those high school players to be on a bigger
5:10
Speaker 6: stage than they were. Of course, they had moved out
5:12
Speaker 6: of the Tacoma Dome for some rent and remodeling issues,
5:15
Speaker 6: and then they played a couple of years done in
5:17
Speaker 6: Puallup and various regular high school fields. But now at
5:22
Speaker 6: Husky Stadium it feels like a big deal for those kids.
5:24
Speaker 6: It's cool, all right.
5:25
Speaker 2: So seven o'clock tonight it will be to Home Mount
5:28
Speaker 2: to Homa versus Oday seven o'clock Greg and Mike on
5:31
Speaker 2: the call, and then tomorrow night the four a state
5:34
Speaker 2: championship sumner in Lake Stevens. It'll be Chris Kidd and
5:39
Speaker 2: Dick Vane on the call tomorrow night as well. All right, well,
5:42
Speaker 2: let's get in Seahawks Falcons. Well, a name that didn't
5:45
Speaker 2: pop up yesterday in our roundtable and should have is
5:48
Speaker 2: Julian Love. What's the update on him? I mean, is
5:52
Speaker 2: he ready to play?
5:54
Speaker 6: Well, they're me and Coy for competitive reasons. They don't
5:57
Speaker 6: want the Falcons to know that the Pro Bowl safeties
5:59
Speaker 6: back for the first since September. He said yesterday, there's
6:03
Speaker 6: a plan. I don't know if I'm supposed to say this,
6:05
Speaker 6: but there's a plan. He used the term ramp up,
6:07
Speaker 6: which is the same term that Mike McDonald used. He's
6:11
Speaker 6: back from he's been designated to return from injured reserve.
6:14
Speaker 6: And how the NFL roles are now is that you
6:16
Speaker 6: have twenty one days up to a max of twenty
6:19
Speaker 6: one days to practice before they have to make a
6:21
Speaker 6: roster decision on you. Love's not going to take it
6:23
Speaker 6: all twenty one days. But he did have a setback
6:26
Speaker 6: in late October when he tried to come back, and
6:28
Speaker 6: it set him back a month. So they are being
6:29
Speaker 6: somewhat of a ramp up caution with him. He's been
6:32
Speaker 6: listed as a limited practice participant in the first two
6:35
Speaker 6: days of practice. He's been back here Wednesday and Thursday,
6:39
Speaker 6: whereas Jared Reid has also been designated return from injured
6:42
Speaker 6: reserve has been a full practice participant coming off his
6:45
Speaker 6: wrist surgery. So it would appear reading Tea leaves that
6:49
Speaker 6: Jared Reid is closer to playing Sunday in Atlanta than
6:53
Speaker 6: Julian Love. But the way Love is answered that yesterday
6:57
Speaker 6: and how coy, I have a feeling that the plan
6:59
Speaker 6: is that He's going to get activated and Jared Reed
7:02
Speaker 6: will be both activated to play on Sunday in Atlanta.
7:05
Speaker 6: They have two roster spots open on the active fifty three.
7:09
Speaker 6: It would appear Red and Love are going to fill those.
7:11
Speaker 2: Man getting Love back. I mean, I had Greg Bell
7:15
Speaker 2: and Hugh Mellan yesterday spent ten minutes talking about they're
7:18
Speaker 2: just now unlocking nick Emon Warri's abilities. DeMarcus Lawrence, at
7:22
Speaker 2: age thirty three, might be playing the best football we've
7:25
Speaker 2: seen in years, if not for his career. Ernest Jones
7:29
Speaker 2: the perfect fit. I mean, this defense already looks very good.
7:33
Speaker 2: Maybe even great. I mean, how much better could it
7:36
Speaker 2: get in the last third of the season.
7:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not even mentioning. Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy
7:42
Speaker 6: are co leading the team with sacks right now at six. Yeah,
7:45
Speaker 6: Love coming back gives them another card to play. He
7:49
Speaker 6: gives Mike McDonald's Pacific another card to play, another way
7:52
Speaker 6: to play, different coverages, way to do a different arrange.
7:57
Speaker 6: We call everyone on the roster and on we call
8:00
Speaker 6: Nick and even worry of safety, but he's not. He's everything. He's,
8:04
Speaker 6: as we mentioned, even a defensive end right now. So
8:07
Speaker 6: Love's return doesn't really affect him because even whore it
8:11
Speaker 6: doesn't play much in the back end. But tyle Katta
8:14
Speaker 6: is the one who has emerged since Love has gotten hurt.
8:17
Speaker 6: Who would stand to lose the most playing time if
8:19
Speaker 6: Love comes back? And frankly, if you see how you
8:23
Speaker 6: take that trade right, I'll take Jillian Love for tyer
8:25
Speaker 6: Katta for the playoff run. So, yeah, good gets better
8:30
Speaker 6: if Jillian Love can come back without a setback and
8:32
Speaker 6: he can be full go his smarts. I mean, he
8:36
Speaker 6: can diagnose plays before they happen. He's played every position
8:39
Speaker 6: in the secondary he's been a corner with the Giants,
8:42
Speaker 6: he's been a nickel, he's been a free safety of
8:44
Speaker 6: strong safety. That really comes in handy when teams like
8:47
Speaker 6: the Rams in the forty nine ers send all their
8:51
Speaker 6: formations and their bunch groupings of receivers and misdirections at
8:56
Speaker 6: the Jillian Love really would come in handy to be
8:58
Speaker 6: back on the field for those games.
9:00
Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with us our Sea Haawks insider, joining
9:02
Speaker 2: us here on this Football Friday, getting you ready for
9:05
Speaker 2: Seahawks Falcons on Sunday morning at ten o'clock from Atlanta, Georgia.
9:10
Speaker 2: More on that in a moment. But I couldn't help
9:12
Speaker 2: but notice that you wrote about something that I tried
9:17
Speaker 2: my damnedest to get in on Monday's show. But it
9:19
Speaker 2: we just there, just didn't seem to be the window.
9:22
Speaker 2: But Brandon Peeley got away with something football players normally
9:28
Speaker 2: don't get away with. Number one, he stood up for
9:31
Speaker 2: his teammate by coming in and punching another guy in
9:33
Speaker 2: the face. Number two, he got away with it Scott
9:37
Speaker 2: Free and number three, the guy that he hit got
9:39
Speaker 2: the fifteen yard penalty in the game. And so I mean,
9:43
Speaker 2: everybody's looking for that free shot against that guy that's
9:46
Speaker 2: playing dirty, and Brandon Peeley got it. And I thought
9:51
Speaker 2: that it was never going to actually get talked about
9:53
Speaker 2: or written about until you wrote about it for the
9:56
Speaker 2: News Tribute. What did you find out about that entire
9:59
Speaker 2: storeory line.
10:01
Speaker 6: Well, this week he's been a full keyro Brandon Peely
10:03
Speaker 6: has in his locker room. That's great that Leonard Williams
10:07
Speaker 6: is offered to pay his fine if the NFL finds him,
10:10
Speaker 6: and there's a good chance the NFL is going to
10:11
Speaker 6: find Brandon Peely today. That's a seventy million dollar defensive
10:15
Speaker 6: end offer the practice squad defensive tackle to pay to
10:18
Speaker 6: pay his five the sideline. The reason I wrote about
10:22
Speaker 6: it is I noticed through the binokas the sideline went
10:24
Speaker 6: nuts when Peely came off the field at the end
10:27
Speaker 6: of that series. For what he did. Josh Joe was
10:30
Speaker 6: coming in to make a tackle at the end of
10:32
Speaker 6: the running back seventeen yard run in the fourth quarter,
10:35
Speaker 6: and Blake Brando, the guard for Minnesota head budded Josh
10:41
Speaker 6: job as you're trying to get him as if you're
10:43
Speaker 6: trying to get him off his running backs tackle just
10:47
Speaker 6: head butted him face match to face mask. Jove, in fact,
10:51
Speaker 6: got taken out by the NFL's concussion monitor from the
10:54
Speaker 6: sideline and had to come out of the game to
10:56
Speaker 6: be checked for concussion. He cleared a protocol, so he's okay.
11:00
Speaker 6: But as soon as Peeley saw that, he ran another
11:02
Speaker 6: ten yards behind the play, and you're right, he threw
11:05
Speaker 6: a punch. It was a haymaker right hand, which is
11:09
Speaker 6: not quite wise if he's got the other guy's got
11:12
Speaker 6: a helmet on. But the inside of his arm met
11:16
Speaker 6: his fist missed, but the force of his arm thrusting
11:19
Speaker 6: hit the side of Branda's head and knocked his head back.
11:23
Speaker 6: That should have been an ejection in the rules. If
11:25
Speaker 6: you throw a punch, whether it lands or not, it's
11:27
Speaker 6: an ejection. But they missed it. You're right. The flag
11:30
Speaker 6: came to Peeley. I talked to him yesterday. He said, yeah,
11:33
Speaker 6: I thought that flag was on me for sure. He's
11:36
Speaker 6: also saying, why are you asking me in writing this,
11:38
Speaker 6: because I don't want them to find me. Hopefully they
11:40
Speaker 6: just forget about me. But he said that that's he
11:45
Speaker 6: was sticking up for his guy, and he said, that's
11:47
Speaker 6: the locker room culture they have built here. He said,
11:50
Speaker 6: in the way he sees it, it's been twofold. The players,
11:53
Speaker 6: the guys that they brought into that building, how they
11:56
Speaker 6: are wired, and Mike McDonald's culture, how he feeds this brotherhood.
12:02
Speaker 6: McDonald thinks the brotherhood aspect of this team, which Leonard
12:05
Speaker 6: Williams and the Marcus Lawrence think is the reason this
12:08
Speaker 6: is the best defense those two have ever played on
12:10
Speaker 6: and they played twenty three combined years in the league.
12:13
Speaker 6: But they think it started. They think that brotherhood is
12:16
Speaker 6: the key to the Seahawks being nine to three and
12:17
Speaker 6: haven't won the best defensive league. Mike McDonald thinks it
12:21
Speaker 6: started back in April when and we talked about this
12:24
Speaker 6: back then, Chuck that everyone one hundred percent of the
12:29
Speaker 6: veterans showed up for the voluntary meetings, workouts, drills. That's
12:33
Speaker 6: unheard of. Guys usually go to weddings, wives, have babies,
12:38
Speaker 6: in the offseason, whatever, for kids' birthday party, any reason
12:41
Speaker 6: they could figure out not to come to that stuff.
12:44
Speaker 6: And if nobody bats an eye usually well one dred
12:46
Speaker 6: percent of the Seahawks showed up for those and McDonald
12:49
Speaker 6: at the time said, this is special. I know, I
12:51
Speaker 6: don't normally get this, and coaches don't normally get this,
12:54
Speaker 6: and McDonald has mentioned it a couple times. Is why
12:56
Speaker 6: he thinks this team is tighter than any He's been
12:59
Speaker 6: on the Ravens for ten years and Brandon Peely's act
13:03
Speaker 6: was an example of that. We'll see if he gets fined.
13:07
Speaker 6: Maybe didn't help his cause by writing about it so
13:09
Speaker 6: everyone can read about it, but yeah, he's Brandon Peely
13:14
Speaker 6: is a very popular guy. Asking well, what happened? What
13:16
Speaker 6: were you thinking? Then he said, my brotherly instinct kicked in.
13:20
Speaker 6: I said, oh, how many siblings you have? He said nine.
13:25
Speaker 6: He's the oldest. He's the oldest of ten kids, and
13:29
Speaker 6: they grew up in Anchorage, Alaska at some moment in
13:33
Speaker 6: the Alaska Native American family explain everything, Yes, exactly, and
13:42
Speaker 6: he's the oldest of ten. His youngest sisters four. Can
13:46
Speaker 6: you imagine twenty six to four that family's ten kids.
13:50
Speaker 2: Greg Bell with us R S the UX Insider, All right, well,
13:52
Speaker 2: let's use our remaining times talk about this matchup with
13:55
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons. I mean, this is just this is
13:58
Speaker 2: the last game on the schedule that you absolutely should
14:01
Speaker 2: not lose, and so how could they possibly lose this
14:06
Speaker 2: game against a floundering four and nine football team that
14:09
Speaker 2: no doubt is playing its worst football right now.
14:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, lost six of seven. Atlanta has lost their starting quarterback,
14:15
Speaker 6: Michael Pennix, who we all know here in Seattle, and
14:18
Speaker 6: that's usually the end of the season. And even though
14:20
Speaker 6: it's a veteran Kirk Cousins, former eighty million dollar guy,
14:23
Speaker 6: this is not how it's supposed to go. Drake Glennon,
14:26
Speaker 6: their top receiver, hasn't practiced all week. He may not play,
14:29
Speaker 6: which underlines the fact that it's Dejon Robinson all day
14:33
Speaker 6: for Atlanta. The top running back, the number five running
14:36
Speaker 6: back in the league, is going to be a thousand
14:38
Speaker 6: yard rusher with five more yards on Sunday. If he
14:41
Speaker 6: runs for one hundred hundred and fifty and the Seahawks
14:44
Speaker 6: and Sam Darnold turn the ball over a few times,
14:47
Speaker 6: they could lose this game. The Seahawks are not yet
14:50
Speaker 6: to the point that they can just roll the ball
14:52
Speaker 6: out and win. Sure, so that's the recipe, don't turn
14:56
Speaker 6: the ball over. And so far this is the number
14:58
Speaker 6: three NFL defense rush defense, and as I said, I
15:01
Speaker 6: just don't think they've been tested all that much because
15:03
Speaker 6: they've been leading like two touchdowns early in games. This
15:07
Speaker 6: will be the test. Atlanta, even if they fall behind,
15:09
Speaker 6: will continue to run stop Bijon Robinson, and you're going
15:14
Speaker 6: to win. And you're right. This will be the last
15:16
Speaker 6: game that this is like this. This is the last game.
15:19
Speaker 6: The schedule gets tougher from here. Eight and four Colts
15:22
Speaker 6: next week, then the Rams in the Big Battle Royal rematch,
15:25
Speaker 6: then they go to Carolina, who is seven and six
15:28
Speaker 6: in playoff contention, and then they end at San Francisco.
15:31
Speaker 6: So must win in essense, you just don't want to
15:34
Speaker 6: give this one away. The Rams came back to you
15:36
Speaker 6: in the standings last week by losing in Carolina, which
15:40
Speaker 6: evens the NFC West at nine to three. You want
15:42
Speaker 6: to keep it that way until when Rams come up
15:44
Speaker 6: here December eighteen.
15:45
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just can't imagine this defense. As great as
15:48
Speaker 2: Robinson is, and he's great, and I don't overuse the
15:51
Speaker 2: word great, he's a great player. I just can't imagine
15:54
Speaker 2: this defense against one great running back is susceptible. I
15:57
Speaker 2: just can't see that he.
16:00
Speaker 6: Wouldn't think so. And eventually Kirk Cousin's going to have
16:03
Speaker 6: to throw and the way the Seahawks have played this
16:06
Speaker 6: defense this year because they've stopped the run so effectively,
16:08
Speaker 6: those throwing situations have been third and long. So get
16:11
Speaker 6: them in third and along again, and then Leonard Williams,
16:15
Speaker 6: DeMarcus Lawrence, Byron Murphy. Blitz is here and there from
16:18
Speaker 6: even worry and Weatherspoon can get to Cousins, who doesn't
16:21
Speaker 6: nearly escape like the quarterbacks they faced recently, cam Ward
16:24
Speaker 6: and others. Yeah, just don't let Robinson get going because
16:28
Speaker 6: the Atlanta's definitely going to try that. Yeah. On the
16:31
Speaker 6: flip side, we mentioned Minnesota is the number one blitz
16:35
Speaker 6: team in the NFL. Number two is Atlanta, And we
16:37
Speaker 6: talk about how many sacks of Seahawks have. They're on
16:40
Speaker 6: pace for the second most in team history. They've got
16:42
Speaker 6: forty right now. Atlanta has forty one, fourth third in
16:45
Speaker 6: the league. In the Seattle's fourth. So pass protection again
16:49
Speaker 6: is can they get the ball quickly? Look for shorter
16:52
Speaker 6: routes from Smith and Jigbit than his usual twenty yard
16:55
Speaker 6: in routes and he's been feasting on all season. Let's
16:58
Speaker 6: see what adjustments they make to the blitz this time
17:00
Speaker 6: compared to what the Vikings got him for four sacks
17:03
Speaker 6: last week. That's a key because this copycat league, they're
17:06
Speaker 6: going to see a lot of blitzing based on what
17:08
Speaker 6: Minnesota did. Did that last All right.
17:10
Speaker 2: Well, enjoy Atlanta, enjoy the game tonight. I'll get up
17:14

18:20
Speaker 2: Bucky's out today. I'll be back with us on Monday.
18:23
Speaker 2: As long as he doesn't get arrested. Yeah, he could.
18:28
Speaker 2: It happens, he could end up in prison. Based on
18:31
Speaker 2: the description of the events that he's participating in in
18:36
Speaker 2: Palm Springs, California. I don't think that they deal too
18:39
Speaker 2: well with out of town ers. No, I didn't respect
18:42
Speaker 2: the town.
18:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, you gotta, you gotta, you know, get in a bit.
18:48
Speaker 7: You can stand out with your big beards.
18:49
Speaker 2: M By himself, no problem, but he's got some really
18:54
Speaker 2: bad influencers around him.
18:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
18:57
Speaker 2: So anyway, maybe we won't see him on Monday or
19:00
Speaker 2: ever again. But we don't need him anymore because he's
19:04
Speaker 2: already made his last Factor fiction pick. So that's all
19:07
Speaker 2: that we're really focused on right now. Ashley will make
19:10
Speaker 2: our last Factor fiction pick of the season. Sadly it
19:13
Speaker 2: comes to an end. We don't do it for the
19:15
Speaker 2: entire football season. But it's been a good run and
19:19
Speaker 2: on the last day, certainly want to hand out some
19:21
Speaker 2: thank yous. Thank you to our brand new sponsor, Lucky
19:24
Speaker 2: Eagle Casino. By the way, they're doing twenty four twenty four. Yeah,
19:29
Speaker 2: he had to get another screech or two.
19:31
Speaker 3: We got to take advantage of it.
19:32
Speaker 2: Well, uh huh, exactly, Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. They've
19:39
Speaker 2: got twenty four hour gaming now Friday and Saturday, slots
19:43
Speaker 2: and jackpots all night long. Details at luck Eagle dot com.
19:46
Speaker 2: So we as a first new sponsor that we've had
19:50
Speaker 2: for Factor Fiction since its history began, which is about
19:54
Speaker 2: six years old right now, and so thank you Lucky
19:57
Speaker 2: Eagle Casino and Hotel. We do a preiate that and
20:00
Speaker 2: it's been great working with you. Thanks to Anders who
20:03
Speaker 2: does a lot of work behind the scenes to try
20:05
Speaker 2: to keep the scores all up to date. So appreciate that.
20:10
Speaker 2: I really thought when we handed things from Kevin Shockey
20:13
Speaker 2: to Anders that it was just going to go to hell. Yeah,
20:17
Speaker 2: but he's managed it pretty well, kept it on the
20:20
Speaker 2: up and up, and then with the exception of the
20:23
Speaker 2: bounce back issues that we've.
20:24
Speaker 7: Had, yeah, those were but that was not an US
20:28
Speaker 7: issue or an ANDERS issue.
20:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, yeah, yeah, But I'm just saying with
20:31
Speaker 2: the exception of that, I mean, it's been another great
20:34
Speaker 2: year effect Creed. I agree, Yeah, and we're in position
20:37
Speaker 2: to win the whole damn thing again, which would be
20:39
Speaker 2: two years in a row. That the Morning Show. But
20:43
Speaker 2: if we do gag this away, and we would have
20:45
Speaker 2: to gag it away, I mean, we are four games
20:48
Speaker 2: up on MJ, which is kind of funny.
20:50
Speaker 6: Mark.
20:50
Speaker 2: You got to admit you're talking awful lot about how
20:52
Speaker 2: good a gambler you are.
20:56
Speaker 3: That is funny.
20:58
Speaker 2: There We're four games up on E and I think
21:00
Speaker 2: we're three and a half games up on Softy and
21:03
Speaker 2: Dick and Jackson. So I mean, if we gag this away,
21:07
Speaker 2: we pretty much have to go one and four, zero
21:10
Speaker 2: and five just to open the door. So let's not
21:14
Speaker 2: do that.
21:15
Speaker 3: Let's not. I would like to not.
21:16
Speaker 7: I was trying to figure out strategy today, like do
21:18
Speaker 7: I try to go against one of the other shows,
21:21
Speaker 7: And I was.
21:22
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, no, no, I'm not doing it.
21:24
Speaker 2: No, No, don't do that. No we didn't.
21:26
Speaker 3: Don't worry. I went a fully original pick.
21:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll keep it on the straight and air and
21:29
Speaker 2: not just that. I also, you know, gambling's hard. Yeah,
21:34
Speaker 2: Like it turned out that it's really risky. And I
21:36
Speaker 2: lived in Vegas for seven years of my life, and
21:40
Speaker 2: I moved there at age twenty three, mullet headed, just
21:44
Speaker 2: as green as a blade of grass. I didn't really
21:47
Speaker 2: know anything outside the town of Brighton, Illinois. Yeah, and
21:50
Speaker 2: so I show up. I meet this character by the
21:53
Speaker 2: name of Dave Cochin, who kind of who's smoking Dave
21:55
Speaker 2: Cochin smoking Dave Cochin who has since left us. May
21:59
Speaker 2: he rest in peace, but quite the character one of
22:02
Speaker 2: the great Vegas originals, Dave Cocaine. And he sat me
22:05
Speaker 2: down and he told me, hey, don't even get involved
22:08
Speaker 2: in this, but if you are, yeah, and then then
22:12
Speaker 2: he gave me a lesson on how to do it.
22:15
Speaker 2: And then he said, and don't worry about losses. The
22:18
Speaker 2: best in the world get fifty four percent. I get
22:21
Speaker 2: fifty five. And so he told me that like the
22:27
Speaker 2: best in the world, like they're hoping just to get
22:30
Speaker 2: fifty over fifty percent. That's all more than you're losing,
22:34
Speaker 2: way more than you're losing. So you know, when the
22:36
Speaker 2: best in the world, they're just trying to like get
22:38
Speaker 2: fifty four percent so they can make a living off
22:41
Speaker 2: of it.
22:42
Speaker 3: Helpe Jerry de Poto's listening.
22:44
Speaker 2: Right, it's not that embarrassing for the other three shows
22:47
Speaker 2: to be under five hundred right now. But I am
22:50
Speaker 2: fun I do think it's funny that you are. It's
22:53
Speaker 2: not that embarrassing that our win total as a group
22:56
Speaker 2: is forty six point nine percent to this point of
22:58
Speaker 2: the season. We've let you down, yea uh. And so
23:01
Speaker 2: we're the only show that's over five hundred right now.
23:04
Speaker 2: So not only do I want to win it, I
23:05
Speaker 2: want to make sure that one of the shows is
23:08
Speaker 2: above five hundred. Yes, And I won it certainly for
23:11
Speaker 2: selfish reasons to be us. So we have a chance
23:14
Speaker 2: to go back to back with the belt, and it
23:16
Speaker 2: would be the third time. I was trying to remember
23:19
Speaker 2: how many years we've been doing this. Yeah, I think
23:22
Speaker 2: it's six to seven, okay, And it's no more than seven,
23:25
Speaker 2: and it's no fewer than six, okay.
23:26
Speaker 7: And I got here September of twenty twenty one, so
23:28
Speaker 7: this is our my fourth right, So we.
23:30
Speaker 2: Won the first year that we did this and hadn't
23:34
Speaker 2: won since since until last year. Okay, But I don't
23:37
Speaker 2: think anyone's won more than two SOFTI and Dick went
23:41
Speaker 2: back to.
23:41
Speaker 3: Back, yeah, I remember hearing about that.
23:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then uh, and we have a chance to
23:46
Speaker 2: go back to back. And then Puck and Jim won
23:48
Speaker 2: because of Gym's heater that one year, like he couldn't
23:50
Speaker 2: he couldn't pick loser, he couldn't pick a loser. It
23:53
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. Yeah, so they won one year. I think
23:57
Speaker 2: maybe Ean won one year. But if not, boy, that's
23:59
Speaker 2: kind of ibarrassing. So but this would be our third
24:03
Speaker 2: maybe maybe softing dig of one three, I'm not sure,
24:05
Speaker 2: but they I know they've not won more than three seasons.
24:08
Speaker 2: So this would put us. This would put us at
24:11
Speaker 2: the top on the factor fiction food chain.
24:14
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? And then how far back was he? Okay?
24:17
Speaker 7: So for mee Ian even if he even if you
24:21
Speaker 7: won out because he's already got one win this week,
24:23
Speaker 7: but even if he went out, he couldn't catch us.
24:25
Speaker 3: I don't think I.
24:26
Speaker 2: Think he can. Mathematically, yes, I think he can, believe
24:31
Speaker 2: it or not, but we would have to like literally fall.
24:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd have to poop the bed.
24:35
Speaker 2: That's right, all right, So let's not do that. Let's
24:37
Speaker 2: play some factor fiction for the last time to go
24:39
Speaker 2: glad you're with us.
24:40
Speaker 5: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the.
24:44
Speaker 2: Ten thousand dollars grand prize.
24:46
Speaker 5: It's Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
24:51
Speaker 5: hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
24:54
Speaker 2: Fact or Fiction is.
24:55
Speaker 5: On Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
25:00
Speaker 2: Aar and Ashley. Let's know it, let's finish off the
25:03
Speaker 2: season with a win.
25:04
Speaker 3: I just got very nervous about this. I really don't
25:06
Speaker 3: want to screw it up for us.
25:08
Speaker 2: No one has picked this game.
25:10
Speaker 3: Ugh, yeah, fingers crossed. No one has picked this game.
25:12
Speaker 3: And I've been very intrigued by this game.
25:13
Speaker 7: In fact, I think it's the game I'm most excited
25:15
Speaker 7: to watch all like this entire weekend, and that is
25:18
Speaker 7: Indiana and Ohio State the Big Ten Championship.
25:22
Speaker 2: Okay, you're going to the biggie, going.
25:23
Speaker 7: To the biggie. I think everyone else has been a
25:25
Speaker 7: little frightened of it. Nobody really knows what to expect.
25:28
Speaker 7: I get a little research the other day.
25:30
Speaker 2: I'm scared to death of it.
25:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't really know what to expect. But here's
25:33
Speaker 7: what I do think it is not going to be
25:36
Speaker 7: a route. It is going to be a close game.
25:39
Speaker 7: And if you're telling me that Indiana's getting five points,
25:42
Speaker 7: I'm taking it. Okay, give me Iu plus the five
25:45
Speaker 7: against Ohio State.
25:46
Speaker 2: She's going with signetti. Yep, all right, Ashley's final pick
25:51
Speaker 2: of the season. Our show's final pick of the season
25:55
Speaker 2: is going to be Indiana plus five against Ohio State
25:59
Speaker 2: on a new tree, indeed, in the Big Ten Conference Championship,
26:04
Speaker 2: to be played tomorrow night at five o'clock. If you
26:07
Speaker 2: think she's right, this is the one part I can't
26:11
Speaker 2: wait to be done with explaining these rules. Yeah, do
26:13
Speaker 2: it every day. If she's right, then you're gonna text her.
26:18
Speaker 2: If you think she's right, you're gonna text fact. And
26:20
Speaker 2: I screwed it up on the very last one. You're
26:22
Speaker 2: gonna text fact to four nine, four or five to one.
26:24
Speaker 2: If you think she's wrong, Ohio State's gonna blow them out,
26:28
Speaker 2: You're gonna go ahead and text fiction to four nine, four,
26:30
Speaker 2: five to one. If you're right, we enter your name
26:32
Speaker 2: into a drawing for one thousand dollars in cash. It's
26:35
Speaker 2: our last thousand dollars cash prize drawing of the football season,
26:40
Speaker 2: and this is Friday, so they're running out of opportunities
26:44
Speaker 2: to be that last thousand dollars weekly winner. And if
26:47
Speaker 2: you are in contention for the ten thousand dollars jackpot
26:51
Speaker 2: from Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, well, you better be
26:55
Speaker 2: playing every single time and you better be damn good
26:57
Speaker 2: this week. So make or you are weighing in right
27:01
Speaker 2: now at four nine four five. One fact, if you
27:05
Speaker 2: think that Indiana is going to cover the five points
27:08
Speaker 2: against Ohio State fiction, if you think Ohio State's gonna
27:11
Speaker 2: win by six points or more, your next opportunity to
27:16
Speaker 2: play Factor Fiction will happen at eleven thirty five this
27:19
Speaker 2: morning with Mark James and Christopher Kidd, one of the
27:22
Speaker 2: shows that can't picked one out of two correct.
27:28
Speaker 7: Well, and people, if somebody sent in Andrew's prop bets
27:30
Speaker 7: have actually made me a lot of money, maybe it's
27:32
Speaker 7: just Factor fiction.
27:33
Speaker 3: He's not good at uh heaby Yeah, well.
27:35
Speaker 2: You know what, this is the first opportunity we've had
27:38
Speaker 2: with our new guy to go head to head against him. Yeah,
27:41
Speaker 2: and some show apparently would have made you a lot
27:43
Speaker 2: more money.
27:43
Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't know, just saying and also, yeah,
27:46
Speaker 7: Kid was to blame for a lot of that as well.
27:47
Speaker 3: Their show was in next show. It's a show. It's
27:50
Speaker 3: all of them, both of them.
27:51
Speaker 2: Hold on, I'm the leader.
27:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're ahead of MJ two and Bucky and Anders.
27:56
Speaker 2: I've got the best individual ranking. So I don't know
27:59
Speaker 2: why people are making excuses for these losers around.
28:01
Speaker 3: At almost sixty two percent of a winning especially good.
28:04
Speaker 2: It's a team award. I talk about team, you want
28:07
Speaker 2: to make about individuals. Then now we'll go ahead and
28:09
Speaker 2: raise my hand and say I've been the best.
28:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, suck it.
28:14
Speaker 2: Coming up next college football Playoff ranking noise and where
28:19
Speaker 2: people are way off based Sports Radio ninety three point
28:22
Speaker 2: three KJRFM. We can't satisfy all the fans out there
28:26
Speaker 2: with a twelve team format. I don't want to expand
28:29
Speaker 2: it though not yet. I'd like to kick the tires
28:31
Speaker 2: on this twelve team format for a little while longer.
28:34
Speaker 2: I'm just happy we have a college football tournament for
28:36
Speaker 2: goodness sake, but it's not going to stop the noise. Certainly,
28:39
Speaker 2: they're going to be a couple of teams more than
28:41
Speaker 2: a couple that are going to be left out of
28:44
Speaker 2: the playoff that look like playoff teams have had playoff
28:47
Speaker 2: caliber seasons this year, and that is unfortunate. But it
28:51
Speaker 2: doesn't matter how big or sow small you make it,
28:53
Speaker 2: there's always going to be a couple of people that
28:56
Speaker 2: have something to say, have a case to be made
28:59
Speaker 2: that they belong into the tournament. And I'm actually, even
29:03
Speaker 2: though I've been defending the committee here as of late,
29:06
Speaker 2: I can't wait to criticize.
29:07
Speaker 6: Them on Monday.
29:08
Speaker 2: You're really looking forward to it. I hope they do
29:11
Speaker 2: screw something up because that's great fodder for sports talk radio.
29:15
Speaker 2: So we'll see, We'll see how it all unfolds. But
29:18
Speaker 2: I will say this, this is the one loudest argument
29:22
Speaker 2: that's being made. And Rick new Isl and everybody knows
29:25
Speaker 2: how much I love Rick new Isel, he said this
29:29
Speaker 2: earlier in the week. He said, you can't have Notre
29:34
Speaker 2: Dame over Miami. Yeah, of course you can. I mean,
29:39
Speaker 2: of course you can. I mean, I get it. I
29:43
Speaker 2: even heard Bruce Feldman yesterday talking about this, and he's
29:46
Speaker 2: so angry that how that the committee's just fallen asleep
29:51
Speaker 2: on this, And he actually used the phrase you can't
29:55
Speaker 2: not value head to head, right, But It's not the
30:01
Speaker 2: only thing.
30:02
Speaker 3: Right, It's a factor when you have all of.
30:05
Speaker 2: These teams that have played twelve games and you only
30:09
Speaker 2: have resumes to go off of and a little bit
30:14
Speaker 2: of eye test. Well, isn't there an argument to be
30:19
Speaker 2: made that even though Notre Dame lost to Miami, they
30:24
Speaker 2: lost on the last play of the game in the
30:29
Speaker 2: second game of the year, and that that loss doesn't
30:33
Speaker 2: look as bad as Miami losing to Louisville. Is there
30:38
Speaker 2: an argument to be made there? I mean, I know
30:40
Speaker 2: they played head to head and Miami beat Notre Dame,
30:43
Speaker 2: but in terms of the overall resume is and I
30:46
Speaker 2: don't want to defend Notre Dame. I'm much rather. I
30:49
Speaker 2: like Miami a lot more than Notre Dame.
30:51
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say a lot more, I do a lot more. Yeah,
30:54
Speaker 3: but I hate Notre Dame.
30:55
Speaker 2: But yeah, don't. I don't ever want to see Notre
30:57
Speaker 2: Dame have success. No, But just in defense of the
31:02
Speaker 2: thought that Notre Dame could edge out Miami, I mean,
31:06
Speaker 2: if you just took away the head to head and
31:09
Speaker 2: we're not going to but if you took away the
31:11
Speaker 2: head to head, it's no doubt Notre Dame's two losses
31:14
Speaker 2: were at the first two games of the year. They
31:16
Speaker 2: lost on the last two plays of the game. I
31:19
Speaker 2: believe they were both on the road against two teams
31:23
Speaker 2: that are currently ranked seventh and tenth in America. Those
31:26
Speaker 2: are not bad losses. Those are actually, you know, if
31:31
Speaker 2: there's such a thing good losses. Miami's two losses won
31:35
Speaker 2: at home against SMU where they got ran off the field,
31:38
Speaker 2: and the other one was against Louisville, which is not
31:42
Speaker 2: a bad team. But they're not in this picture, are they,
31:46
Speaker 2: So you actually Notre Dame's two losses look a lot
31:50
Speaker 2: better than Miami's two losses, even though one of them
31:54
Speaker 2: was against Miami. However, obviously the committee can't just ignore
31:59
Speaker 2: the head to head matchup, and they won't. I mean,
32:02
Speaker 2: there is a large I mean pay attention. Notre Dame
32:05
Speaker 2: keeps slipping the more the resumes, the full resumes are
32:09
Speaker 2: coming together. Notre Dame keeps slipping down, and Miami keeps
32:14
Speaker 2: slipping up. And they're kind of head to head right
32:17
Speaker 2: now and neck to neck and trying to determine the
32:21
Speaker 2: last spot in this playoff. And so if Miami got in, man,
32:26
Speaker 2: I get everybody's argument for Miami. I get everybody's argument
32:29
Speaker 2: for the head to head victory that they have over
32:32
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. But those people that are so angry about it,
32:35
Speaker 2: Bruce Feldman, I wish you would have directed this anger
32:38
Speaker 2: back to when we didn't have a tournament, made something happen, Right,
32:43
Speaker 2: You're more angry about Notre Dame getting in over Miami
32:48
Speaker 2: than you were that we didn't have a tournament to
32:50
Speaker 2: begin with.
32:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just stupidity, is the Miami alum.
32:54
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know that I have no idea,
32:57
Speaker 2: but I mean Rick new isisal said it too, and
32:58
Speaker 2: he certainly doesn't have rooting interest one way or the
33:01
Speaker 2: other with these two teams. But certainly there is a
33:05
Speaker 2: case that the committee can make I test ten win
33:08
Speaker 2: game winning streak, all sorts of things. How Notre Dame
33:11
Speaker 2: gets in over Miami. It's not like they got Notre
33:13
Speaker 2: Dame third. Yeah, okay, And I think there's a chance
33:18
Speaker 2: that both get in, and I think there's a chance
33:20
Speaker 2: that both are out before this is all said and done.
33:24
Speaker 2: It really hinges on what Alabama does. I mean, if
33:28
Speaker 2: BYU upsets Texas Tech, does Notre Dame or Miami get
33:33
Speaker 2: in over Texas Tech or two lost Texas Tech. I
33:40
Speaker 2: don't think that they will, you know, because they lost
33:43
Speaker 2: their second game in the conference championship round, which Notre
33:47
Speaker 2: Dame in Miami didn't even compete in. Yeah, I mean
33:51
Speaker 2: Miami plays in the worst of the Power for conferences
33:56
Speaker 2: and didn't even get to the conference championship game. Now,
34:00
Speaker 2: isn't that an element to consider as you're trying to
34:04
Speaker 2: like figure out how close these resumes are to one another.
34:08
Speaker 2: That has to be brought up in the conversation.
34:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did answer the question though, he did go
34:12
Speaker 3: to University of Miami, which now makes sense it.
34:15
Speaker 2: Well, there you go.
34:16
Speaker 3: It seems comes together.
34:18
Speaker 2: It seems to be the root. We talked about this yesterday.
34:20
Speaker 2: That seems to be the root to all of the
34:21
Speaker 2: truly angry people.
34:23
Speaker 3: Look, we've brought it around full circle.
34:25
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, he's a fan of Miami and he thinks
34:28
Speaker 2: that they're getting screwed. Well, you should be more professional
34:30
Speaker 2: than that. And then there's the other thing to consider,
34:34
Speaker 2: and we'll talk more about this in the Friday O show.
34:36
Speaker 2: There is a chance that two of the games that
34:39
Speaker 2: are played tonight that two teams the two winners of
34:45
Speaker 2: the James Madison Troy game and the North Texas Tulane
34:50
Speaker 2: game are both getting in the tournament if Duke upsets
34:56
Speaker 2: Virginia tomorrow night, both of those because they the rule is,
35:00
Speaker 2: it's not the rule is not an ACC team has
35:03
Speaker 2: to be represented. The rule is five conference champions have
35:07
Speaker 2: to be represented in the tournament. If both James Madison
35:12
Speaker 2: and let's say North Texas over Tulane, but you could
35:16
Speaker 2: flip flob them if they win tonight. They were both
35:20
Speaker 2: ranked ahead of Duke Sunday or Tuesday, so they're probably
35:26
Speaker 2: Duke's lost five games an eight and five. Duke's not
35:29
Speaker 2: gonna jump either of these teams in the standings, which
35:32
Speaker 2: means the ACC is completely out potentially, and both James
35:37
Speaker 2: Madison and Tulane, I'll use the other example this time,
35:41
Speaker 2: both get in. So if you want to talk about noise,
35:44
Speaker 2: oh wait till the anger. If that happens with a
35:47
Speaker 2: Texas and a Vanderbilt and a Miami on the outside
35:52
Speaker 2: looking in and potentially you know, an Alabama if they
35:56
Speaker 2: lose to Georgia on the outside looking in, and we're
35:59
Speaker 2: putting two group of five teams into the twelve precious
36:04
Speaker 2: twelve team tournament field.
36:06
Speaker 3: I'm here for all this chaos.
36:07
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Now, and that's legit. I mean that
36:11
Speaker 2: those that are gonna be angry about that scenario unfolding, Yeah,
36:15
Speaker 2: there's some legitimacy to it, and that probably will have
36:18
Speaker 2: to be tweaked before next year, yeah, because you can't
36:22
Speaker 2: have that happen again.
36:23
Speaker 3: But I really do like the chaos, all right.
