  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I tried to do that

• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It not only recaps the week, but gets you ready
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: for a busy sports weekend. And I can tell by
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the look on your face, so I'll go ahead and
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: address the elephant in the room.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, I know. I should have peed before the break started.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: We're a little concerned.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Don't judge me for it. We'll get through this. It's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: only 20 minutes long. All right, let's begin with the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Seattle Mariners. Our local baseball team was officially eliminated from
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the playoff picture. Before they even took the field last
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: night in a 6-4 loss to the Angels, the Mariners
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: knew that the gossamer thread of hope that they'd been
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: clinging to to make the playoffs had been cut. The
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Texas Rangers had beaten the Mets 3-1. So a team
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: that Las Vegas projected to win 89.5 games at the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: beginning of the year, that the conservative Pagoda rankings projected
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to win 93 games at the beginning of the year,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: is going to finish with 77 wins at best. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: as a third-place finisher... in this season's worst division in baseball.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: To call the season a disaster is an understatement. There
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: will be no playoff baseball to enjoy in Seattle this year,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and that fact hit home with Cal Raleigh yesterday before
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the game, and he decided to go on out to
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the dugout. allow the Seattle media horde to surround him,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and really kind of spill his guts on how disappointed
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: he's been with this baseball team and himself this season.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of areas you can point to.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I think, ultimately, I think it was a lack of focus,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a lack of execution, a lack.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Of, you know, I'd say energy at times, say.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And then you can kind of pull that in with,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you know, defense.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Is not good all year.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Controlling the running game is not good all year. Playing
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: bad on the road all year. Hitting and running in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: scoring position.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Hitting with runners in scoring position is definitely not good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'd say those were kind of some key points that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I kind of look at.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Cal Raleigh, and there was a lot more to it. Very,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: very just blunt, very out in the open. And it
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: was actually nice to hear from him. But when you
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: start thinking about that laundry list of things that didn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: go well, a few things stand out to me, Anders.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But the overall arching thing is, man, that is a
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: lot that didn't go right. This was just a bad
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: baseball team this year. It shouldn't have been. That's why
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it hurts. So much, that's why, you know, Joe Sheehan
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: says it's the most disappointing season of the century. It's
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: because the team should have been good this year. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: they were never good this year. At any point in
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they played bad baseball all year. And while I
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: commend Cal for the... accountability that he showed in this moment.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I still want to see more of it from the manager,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: from the general manager, from the president of baseball operations,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: and from the owner. And I hope we get that
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: sort of sentiment from them that, hey, this isn't good
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: enough moving forward.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Well, they tend to say that every year. This was just...
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, this was just a crushing, I mean, this
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: was a bad year. We've had disappointing years where they've
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: underachieved in the last few seasons, but this one has
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: just fell completely off the radar and the goals that
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: they had for the season. And, man, when your face
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: of your franchise is sitting there saying, bad focus, bad execution, bad,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: and he wanted to.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Say effort, He went with energy. I think he wanted
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to say effort. But he did say at times.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: And I think that is the pecking order for those
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: that feel that the Mariners didn't care. I don't buy that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I do believe that they care. I do believe that
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: they want it. And I think that there are a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: couple of guys that at times didn't look good.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Like, they were all that interested. I'll name them.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Josh Naylor is the biggest culprit of that. But, you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Randy Orozarena had a couple of moments, but when it
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: really mattered most, he was the guy bringing the passion.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: He was the guy.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Bringing the energy when it mattered most. there toward the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: end of the season. But I do agree with him.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I think that's third on the pecking order and a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: distant third.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I said it all season long.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: This team played with a lack of focus when they
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: were on the base paths, when they were playing defense,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: when they were at the plate.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And had horrible at-bats.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I can't even imagine how many times I would have
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: heard the word approach from Bucky had he been with
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: us this baseball season. Because it was atrocious all season long.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And from Cal as well. He might have been the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: biggest culprit for most of the season. His approaches were
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: terrible at the plate. He was lost at the plate
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: at times. It's just a disaster of a year. There's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: no other way to put it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: The biggest thing for me that I have concerns with
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: is like everyone has a ceiling and a floor going
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: into a year. I thought for sure the floor, if
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: everything goes poorly, nothing goes right this year would have
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: been like 80 wins, 82 wins.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: 500 teams. Exactly.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: And it's not going to even get to that point.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Now I'm thinking, well, was the last couple years, was
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: that our ceiling? Was that the best that we can get?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: We'll kind of see how everything kind of progresses moving forward,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: but there's definitely some scars from this year.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: As for this weekend, it is going to be a
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: farewell weekend, and it starts with our play-by-play voice of
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: 41 years, Rick Riz. I think he's going to cry
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: a lot this weekend. I think he's going to get
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: hit by this really hard this weekend. He is just
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: such a beloved person in that organization throughout the city.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: He is never anything but nice and kind and warm
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: around people. And so we're going to have a few more.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Hopefully have a couple of home runs at least this weekend.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: We're a couple more goodbye baseballs before we say goodbye
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to the.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Rick Riz this weekend. And so it's going to be rough,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: but he's still going to be around. This isn't some
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: sort of funeral. It's just a grind to do that
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: many games every single year. And he's done 41 years
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: worth of it. And so I know we're going to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: see him around the ballpark. So he's going to say goodbye.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: But I say, hello, Rick Riz. Can't wait to say hello.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: To you again.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been such a big part of so many
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Mariners moments. He was the voice of a lot of them.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, Dave Niehaus is... first on that list
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: and very like right there is rick riz as well
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: both those guys have been uh basically calling every single
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: big mariner moment for the entirety of their organization so
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: the fact that you know we won't have that moving
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: forward that is a sad kind of uh reality.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And the truth of the matter is it's not the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: only farewell weekend i mean obviously there's overturn every year
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: with a roster and some guys are going to leave.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And I think it's pretty obvious Randy Rosarino is not
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: going to be back. So we're going to watch the
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: last weekend of Randy Rosarino as a Mariner.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of assuming that. I think JP.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Crawford is playing his last few games. And I've been
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: very hypercritical of JP this season.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And I do think.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Said, he was a terrific Mariner for a long period
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: of time, and he won a lot of baseball games.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, J.P.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Crawford's career winning percentage as a Mariner probably ranks up
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: there with just about anybody in franchise history, so he
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: was part of a lot of winning teams. I think George,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: as I've mentioned a lot, or Logan, one of the
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: two is going to get traded this offseason, so we
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: might see Logan Gilbert pitch his last game as a Mariner.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: this weekend and we are almost certainly going to say
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: goodbye to Dan Wilson he's going to manage his last
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: game on.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Sunday yeah I think there's definitely a couple guys you
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: know the ones you mentioned that won't be a part
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: of this team next year and that's kind of the
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: reality of when stuff like this happens at the end
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: of the year you don't want it to end now
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: but it is what it is and you kind of
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: got to move on.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, our world champion football team looks to go 3-0
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: to start the brand new football season. They will be
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: in Washington, D.C. Sunday morning. There is a 10 a.m.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: kickoff from our nation's capital. Our Seahawks insider Greg Bell
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: joined us earlier this morning with his key to a
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Seahawks victory.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: It sounds like a broken record, but turnovers. Don't turn
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: the ball. This team is at the point, if their
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: offense doesn't turn the ball over, they're going to win.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: That's the bottom line. There's only right now, looking at
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: their schedule, the 49ers game, the Rams game, maybe the
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: Broncos game on the road. There aren't too many more
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: that I can say. There'll be other factors that the
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Seahawks have to perfect to win. Right now, Commanders, maybe
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: Chargers next, probably Chargers next week. Don't turn the ball over,
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: you're going to win. That's how well their defense is playing.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: I don't think the Seahawks are going to have a
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: bushel of turnovers in Washington, and I don't think Washington's
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: defense is going to force them. And I think the
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: Seahawks win by multiple scores, and I think the Commanders
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: only get one touchdown. It's a broken record, but this
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: is a team that won 12 straight games, a franchise record.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: The norm, the status quo, it's working, and there's no
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: reason to think it's not going.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: To in D.C.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell, if you want to hear the entire conversation,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: you can do so on our podcast, 933KJR.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Com. He had a lot of injury updates for us
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold is expected to start, so that means Drew
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Locke returns to the backup role.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Good job, Drew. Good job, Drew.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Yes. Nick Emanwuri appears healthy enough to be unleashed on
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the National Football League starting this Sunday in Washington, D.C.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Julian Love suddenly is on the injury list. So that's
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: a new name. And I don't know if anybody's played
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: better than Julian Love so far this season.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, he's been at an all pro level
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: and that's that's concerning that he's not going to be
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: on the field.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Obviously, the Commanders will not be starting Jaden Daniels.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: He's injured.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: He's out for this game. So Marcus Mariota will get
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the start. The Commanders look to avoid 0-3. I would
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: encourage their fans not to hold their.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Breath on that one.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I think you're going to start 0-3 on the year.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a bit of
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: a blowout.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I remember vividly last year, Seahawks coming off of the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: bye and they're getting ready to face the commanders. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels had had some injury issues a year ago.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: And then he was they were excited because he was
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: finally going to be they felt they felt healthy. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: he was getting ready for that game. And then, obviously,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: he suffers the first time. That's where he suffered the
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: left elbow dislocation injury, which he's done again. But that
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: game was over and decided long before that injury occurred.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: That was the first time where I wrote down in
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: my football notes, like, this team might win the Super Bowl.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: They were dominant.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: They came out of that bye, and they had a
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: terrific record. They already established themselves like, hey, pay attention
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: to the Seahawks.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: But that game in Washington, D.C.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: A year ago, the way they played, that was the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: first time I'm like, oh, man, this team's better than good.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I wonder if you're a Washington fan, your
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: big-time injuries to star-studded quarterbacks just always happen to fall
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: around the Seahawks. whether it was the wildcard game against
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks with RG3, whether it was during the Seahawks
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: game last year with Jane Daniels' first dislocation of the elbow.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: And now I know it didn't happen against the Seahawks,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: but his first game missing will be against the Seahawks.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: uh for this year as well so maybe they just
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: they just don't want to touch us at all anymore
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: because we just for some reason are so associated with
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: injuring their quarterbacks.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Uh daniels feels very rg3 ish uh to me his
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: career and and where it's at right now and how
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: it's uh proceeded to this point uh thursday night football
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: michael pennix jr last night was finally healthy enough to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: play for the atlanta falcons and boy what a difference
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: he made this.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Is a third and two Robinson to the right of
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Penix in the gun Penix will.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Throw on third and two as time throws.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Down the sideline wide open at the 40 yard line
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: it's London on the run to midfield to the 40
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: inside the 30 and caught up to inside the 20
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: at the 16 by Brandon Cisse who shoves him out
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: of bounds saving a touchdown but on third and two
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: they strike for 68 and an Atlanta.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: First down Westwood won on the call last night, which
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you heard right here at Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: A team that had scored a combined 16 points during
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: the first two weeks of the NFL season erupted for
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: 35 on the road against the Green Bay Packers. Michael Penix,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was... vintage Michael Penix. I think
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: he can play better, but he certainly sparked the offense,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: certainly sparked a huge game out of Drake London. 18
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: for 25, 246 yards, one touchdown and one interception for
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the former UW legend. I guess Al Michaels got his
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: college wrong last night.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I was at the bar.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I was at the kitchen. So I didn't hear any
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: of the audio, but I guess he screwed that up.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't Michael's finest moment. Did that make Softie happy?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Probably not. I would assume not. Yeah, he said that
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Penix was from Oregon. Oh, even worse. Right off the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: top of the broadcast. Oh, my gosh. I didn't know that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: He corrected himself a minute later.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It was too late. Not his finest moment. Too late, Al.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I did see one meme that, you know, the meme
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: where it's like, thank you for changing my life. And, like,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: I'm literally just blank. It's the guy saying, thank you
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: for changing my life. And he has a Falcons cap on.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: And Michael Penix is saying, I'm literally just not Cooper Rush.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. B.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: John Robinson, 29 carries, 194 yards. Obviously, life got easier
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: for him last night as well. 35-14 was the final score,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: and the Green Bay Packers are doing a lot of
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: soul-searching right now. I mean, they look like one of
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the worst teams in the National Football League, and I'm
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: going to tell you something. People may forget this, but
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: at the end of last year, they were falling apart.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And there were a lot of.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: People that thought Matt LaFleur should have been fired, that
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: he'd lost control of this football team. And instead of
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: firing him, the Packers extended him, gave him a pay
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: raise and extended him into the future. So it looks
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: like they're going to be stuck with pretty boy for
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a little while, but I don't think he's the right
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: guy for the job. I thought he should have been
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: let go at the end of last year. And that's
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: looking to be prophetic at this point. Week number three
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: of the National Football League season, it's a good one.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Early games, I don't even know which the best one is.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: New England at Jacksonville, Cincinnati at Pittsburgh, Houston at Indianapolis,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: both those teams 0-2. Chargers at Buffalo is very intriguing
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: as well because of the Herbert-Allen matchup, but also because
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: the Chargers better show that they can play some football
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: this year, otherwise put them in the Green Bay category
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: for teams that might not only play not reach their
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: expectations this year. They might just be bad football teams.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: The afternoon game, I think it's Baltimore against Dallas, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: that game's being played in Rio de Janeiro. By the way,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Zay Flowers is questionable for that game, and he made
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the trip, but one of the reasons that he might
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: not play in the game is because all they're talking
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: about is how bad the field is.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: There in Rio. So it might... They might hold flowers
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: out just for that reason. We'll see.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: The Sunday night game is going to be Rams at Broncos.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And the Chicago Bears, speaking of injuries, are likely to
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: start their QB3 in their game this weekend. Case Keenum
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: likely to get the call with both Bajent and Williams
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: on the shelf. The college football week number four features
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: six top 25 matchups. Maybe the best on the board
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: is Atlanta. against classic Big Ten rivals, Oregon and USC.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: It was Coach Neuheisel's taco time pick of the week.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: We're going to take the Oregon Ducks over the Trojans.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: I think Oregon finds themselves and plays their tail off
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: and can run the ball against the Trojans as Rutgers did.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: And I think they get themselves back in the conversation.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I want USC to win. Texas at Tennessee, 9 a.m. start, 12.30,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss at Florida, where Florida is somehow the favorite.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I didn't take it in Fact
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: or Fiction this week. Iowa at Michigan, I did take.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Iowa plus the 5.5, go Hawkeyes. A & M at
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: LSU at 4.30. Let's hope Lane Kiffin goes on an
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: 11-game losing streak. And Mizzou at Mississippi State, that game
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: will kick off at 4.45. As for the local club,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the Huskies will be hosting the Minnesota Golden Gophers in
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: their Big Ten opener.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: How you doing, Wade? Yeah, pretty good. What you watching there?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Go first.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Who are they playing?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I just told you. The Huskies. They and the Huskies.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: 8 p.m.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Kickoff tomorrow night from the greatest setting in college football.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Our coverage starting with the Hongs at 4 o'clock. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: then you can listen to the play-by-play with Elyse and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Cam and Softy. That's going to be at 8 o'clock
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night right here at Sports Radio. 93.3 KJR FM.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: The 3-0 Huskies facing their biggest test of the season.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: They're going to enter a 10-point favorite spot. uh for
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: their conference opener against minnesota but i don't feel 10
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: points confident anders i don't feel.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: That confident no i think it might be a low
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: scoring game considering just the the nature of husky's offense
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: really hasn't gotten full on going maybe they do in
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: this game but i do i don't think there's like
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: 10 points better than the golden gophers in this game.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I don't feel that way. I hope we're proven wrong.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I hope so. Maybe they're ready to unleash.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe we'll see DeMond Williams dominate both the passing and
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: run game like we know he's capable of. But the
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Husky team I've watched for the first three weeks, I
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: don't feel great about, even against Minnesota.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to win. Don't get me wrong.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if I feel.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: like a 10 point we're 10 points better than Minnesota
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: confident I agree uh Kraken meanwhile are 3-0 to start
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: the preseason.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Roy Cairns the lefty picks up the puck at center
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Calgary has to score Cairns left side, to the front,
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: walks in. Toe save by Philip Grubauer. And the Seattle
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Kraken remain perfect in preseason with a 4-3 win.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: In the shootout.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, I didn't realize how great of an effect
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: that was going to.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Have on me.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Everett.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Everett's back!
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: It does feel good. It feels really good. I love
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: his calls. That was outstanding, too. He's like mid-season form. Exactly.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Preseason game three and he's already... like you said, mid-season form.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Ah, that felt good.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. 4-3 the final. They did win in a shootout.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: And yes, they are 3-0 to start the preseason. Bobby
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: McMahon scored his first goal in preseason action. The Kraken
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: will be at the Canucks tomorrow night, and that game
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: will start at 4 o'clock. By the way, NBA camps
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: have begun to open this week as well. And by Monday...
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: they will all be open. So the NBA season's not
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: too far away either. Meanwhile, the Sounders, who did not
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: win an MLS match for over four months and.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yet still are in playoff position.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Are going to try to win their second match in
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: four days tomorrow against Minnesota United. That game or match
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: will start at 5.30 at Lumen Field.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: That's your Ocho, your top stories of the day.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, man, there's just so many quarterback topics
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: that I think we have to have a Friday session
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: of OPQ.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Yes! Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I had to do an emergency OPQ segment here today
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: because there's so much juicy NFL quarterback news right now.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Let's just start with last night's game here, Anders. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: we've talked about Michael Penix Jr.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: In the Ocho.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: We'll leave that alone but let's talk about the losing
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: quarterback jordan love looks bad yes and i do know
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: what people are saying about the packers i think they
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: rush for 40 yards on the ground they don't have
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: a ground game their offensive line is beaten and battered
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: very bad um and and yet those that were trying
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: to put jordan love in the elite category not too
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: long ago I mean, this is why I don't like
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: the next brick-in-the-road finances that the NFL does with free agents,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: particularly quarterbacks. Because if you don't want to lose a quarterback,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: a starting quarterback, and he's a legitimate starting quarterback. He's
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: a legitimate top 15, top 20 starting quarterback. But you
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: have to pay him the same type money that Buffalo
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: pays Josh Allen. And there is just such a world
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: of difference between a good quarterback in the NFL and
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: a great quarterback in the NFL. Josh Allen can play
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: behind a bad offensive line and still move the football.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: He can play without a running game and still move.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's better when he has both. But great quarterbacks,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the ones that deserve elite money, are the ones that
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: still can win you a football game, even if their
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: offensive line's down a couple guys and they can't get
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: their running game going. And Jordan Love just ain't one
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: of those guys.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Nope, he's not. And I think the biggest reason why
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: those guys... teams that have those guys are forced to
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: pay them is because there's just there's also a lack
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: of depth with starting quarterbacks period there's probably guys that
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: you feel good about and i agree with you i
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: would consider him one of those guys you feel okay
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: that's our starting quarterback no question about it it's probably
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: 20 there's not 32 i'm telling you that right now
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: yeah uh but it You got to keep them when
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: you have those guys. Yeah, you want to keep them.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And you should keep them. Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: But this structure financially that they have set up where
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: if your starting quarterback, who you want to keep and
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: you think is good, becomes a free agent, he immediately
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: becomes the highest paid quarterback in.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: The National Football League.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous that Jordan Love... makes as much money or
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: near the money that josh allen and patrick mahomes and.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: He's never proven anything and like i i i'm looking.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Towards his coach a little bit too you mentioned the
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: matt lafleur side of things like he is kind of
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: known as this quarterback whisperer that got a ton out
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: of malik willis and that's the reason he got a
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: bunch of money with with the dolphins But I just
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: don't see him really improving this.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Now, I agree with you. They have no running game.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Their receivers are suspect. Their offensive line is trash. There's
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: not really a ton of weapons to work with. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Jordan Love, even himself with all those things, was never
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: a top upper echelon quarterback.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: They're like last as soon as last year, as recently
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: as last year, they were like one of the Super
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Bowl contenders. And for whatever reason, they're falling off the
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: face of the earth right now.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I understand why he's not playing his best. Right. Those
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: variables are keeping him from playing his best. But great
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks overcome those circumstances and still can move the football.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: He couldn't do anything last night against a bad defense
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: in the Atlanta Falcons. I think the Packers are in
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: deep trouble. Where's Justin Herbert in that conversation? I mean.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Dan Orlovsky got a lot of.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Grief for saying he looks the part and people kind
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: of took that as a racist statement.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's what he was saying.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: What he was saying is he's six foot five and
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: a half and, big and strong and athletic and can
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: make all of the throws. And he looks like, I mean,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: we've all been waiting for him to become elite like
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Allen and Mahomes and Burrow. We want, he looks like
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: he should elevate to that. And the only thing that
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: was keeping him from doing it seemed to be that
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: his offensive line again, back to Jordan love. Oh, well,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: his offensive line is injured and he doesn't have the
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: receivers and all. Well, his offensive line's not all that
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: injured this year and he still just keeps taking the
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: same amount of abuse and he is just not playing
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: good football so far this year in a year where
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: i thought it was prove it this year or or
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: we're we need to abandon the justin herbert elite conversation.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah i mean and again similar to jordan love it's
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: not like you are gonna get rid of him if
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: you're the chargers like you have a starting quarterback you're
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: fine with it but I agree. He's not in that
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: upper echelon conversation. He has less excuses than Jordan Love does.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: He has a.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: First-round running back, a first-round and a second-round wide receiver,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: a bunch of first-round offensive linemen. An offensive genius as
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: a coordinator. Supposedly, and they're still struggling. uh, you know
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: what I think Justin Herbert's problem is? Cause there are
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: tough quarterbacks and he's a tough quarterback.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: There's no getting around. He he's probably number one. He's
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: probably the toughest quarterback in the league, but there are
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: tough quarterbacks. There's like Brett Favre. Russell Wilson is one
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: of the toughest quarterbacks I've ever, that guy would get
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: crushed and he wouldn't even struggle to stand. I mean,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I watched Favre sometimes take a little bit to get
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: up on his feet. Brady was tough. Troy Aikman was
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: so tough. And so there are tough. And I think
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: there are some guys that are just built from a
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: different fabric. Ben Roethlisberger. They were just blessed. He was big,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: but he got hurt a lot. Yeah, he did. Favre
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: didn't get hurt. Russell doesn't get hurt. They were just
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: so tough. They're just built with something different. I don't
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: think Herbert is that way because he gets bruised and
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: battered so much, but I think he actually likes being
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: bruised and battered.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I think that's Justin Herbert's problem.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I think he enjoys playing with a cast on and
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: still trying to be good. He likes the headlines that
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: he gets from them. There's something weird about his makeup
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: where I think he likes pain. He's like the sadistic
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: You know, dentist and little shop of horrors or, you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's just for I have a brother
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: in law who I think he really likes to get hurt.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: He's always hurt.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: He came to visit me one time when I was
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: living on Scottsdale Mountain in Arizona and he wanted to
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: go trail riding. go up on the trails up into
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: the mountains. And I'm like, oh, it's a great hike.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Have fun. You're going to love it. You know, this
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: fool decided on his way down that he wanted to.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Do a sprint. And he started running as fast as.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: He could down the hill and tripped and fell into
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: cactus and and Sohoro and I think over a javelina.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: And by the time I got home from work that day,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: he was just scraped and bruised and bloodied and Everything else.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: And my sister was taking care of him. And I
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: think he liked it. I think he was like, I
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: want to get hurt so my wife will take care
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: of me like my mommy used to do.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: So you think it's more of like the coddling factor?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. He wants praise for it?
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Or like he just actually is like, I like getting hit.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: I like kind of being that tough guy.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: If you send him up a mountain, he's going to
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: come down bloodied because he did something he shouldn't have done.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I think that's what Justin Herbert is. I think he's
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: my brother-in-law. Same guy.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: I think Justin Herbert sleeps downstairs in the basement in
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: a crate. And Madison Beer, you know, leads him around
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: on a dog chain while he wears like a leather catsuit,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: like the.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Gimp from Pulp Fiction.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: And then she beats him with a tire iron just
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: for the privilege that he can suck her big toe.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: That's what I think. That's Justin Herbert. Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I think he likes it paint quite a picture there
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: i think he loves it yeah i think that's what
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: he lives for i want to be the guy that
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: keeps overcoming getting my face.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Smashed in but i stay in the game yeah i.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Think that's i think he likes that more than success
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: kind of like jackson dart like he basically tore his
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: mcl and meniscus and he's like i mean i could
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: go back in but that guy's not durable no that's
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: the difference between him and herbert that's true i think he.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Likes the same thing i think he likes running through
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: walls but he's not.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Durable herbert will just keep taking the punishment. Yeah.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Herbert's like one of those, you know, Tibetan monks that
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: just gets kicked in the junk as hard as they
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: can over and over.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: And it's just like another one.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Bring it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You call that a kick?
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Try these nuts. They should purposely make his offensive line
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: worse so that he gets more of that. He probably
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: wouldn't request it. Coach, please, please, stop protecting me so much.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I can't have too many weapons. Yeah, so I love
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: being bruised. I love getting kicked. More designed runs. Madison's toes. Oh,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: my God. Big Ten previews next.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: All right, every Friday we provide a service right here
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: at Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM, Chuck in the Mornings,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: where we go through the Big Ten schedule, provide a
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: little bit of a preview, and then we make our
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: pickups as well as part of the segment for our
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: brand new Showdown Trophy. uh, drafts that, uh, we do
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: when we, uh, project things, um, at the beginning of
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: the year. And so, uh, finally we're getting to that
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: big 10 schedule where we're almost completely out of the
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: cupcake wars. Rutgers still has some cupcake on their face.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: They're like, uh, well, they're like Jason Statham and that great, uh, television.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Ad there'll be other cupcakes.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. I love those ads. Are they
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: not a cupcake themselves? Well, maybe.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: That's a decent point, I suppose. They might be in
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the same glass container.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Right. Well, they're hosting Howard tonight at 4 o'clock, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: there's a Big Ten game tonight. So three teams out
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: of the Big Ten playing football tonight. Northwestern's going to
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: be at No. 5 Indiana tonight on Fox at 5 o'clock.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: And then you've got Purdue hosting Notre Dame at 11 a.m.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. The Fighting Irish, obviously not in the Big Ten.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: So that's another of the two outliers that aren't Big
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Ten matchups. But everything else is Big Ten on Big Ten.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Illinois at Ohio State at 9 a.m. on Fox Sports.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: UCLA at Maryland, where the Bruins are only giving a
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: point and a half, which is a little surprising to
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: me because I thought Maryland's terrible. 10-30 kickoff from Maryland there.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: A great matchup between number 17 Iowa and number 18
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Michigan in Ann Arbor. 12 30 kickoff penn state is
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: hosting wisconsin at two o'clock on saturday nebraska's at michigan
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: state also at two o'clock oregon at usc that's the
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: game of the weekend uh in the in the big
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: 10 for sure maybe in the country that's number 20
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: oregon now at number 12 usc and they'll kick off
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: at 4 30 on nbc And then, of course, the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Dogs will be playing tomorrow night on Fox at 8 p.m.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: hosting the Minnesota Golden Gophers. So there's your schedule for.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: The Big Ten. Finally, Big Ten. I hate the Cupcake Wars.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad that we are nearly done with the
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Cupcake Wars.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. We are getting all the cupcake off of
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: our face and we're moving forward to the real games.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: All right, let's make our pickups then. Let me update
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: you on the scores in our Fantasy League. Right now,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Ashley is leading the way with 245 points. She's coming
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: off another solid performance. Last week was 74, but her
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: lowest score, Anders, was Jeremiah Smith.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Drop him.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: So I think it's probably time that she drops Jeremiah Smith.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I think that's... That only makes sense. She now joins
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: us here on the program. Did you entertain it? You
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: want to take our advice and let go of the
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: wide receiver from Ohio State?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Actually, I think it'd be smart.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: You know, there are a lot of things that you
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: guys tell me that I think are smart and that
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: I would consider.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: That's not one of them.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. I would have thought it would have been the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: other way around.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't tell me a lot, but that is
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: the one that I would listen to.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one I'm going to grab onto.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: All right. Keep them then. Hope you choke on it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Valiant effort, though. Yeah. No, I might.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Well, do you have a pickup this week to celebrate
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: your first place status and yet having the number one
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: pick in our weekly pickups?
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: I do, because you guys were talking about the Cupcake Wars,
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: and Washington's offense has not looked good in the Cupcake
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: Wars that they've been playing in. So I'm a little
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: nervous now that they're heading into Big Ten play, how
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: their offense is going to look. I'm going to drop Roebuck,
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: and I'm going to pick up KJ Deft from Rutgers,
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: because even though they aren't good, he's like the one
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: thing that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Is really good.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Boy, that doesn't sound very Husky-like.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm not a true Husky fan.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: But also, if dropping him makes them do better, I'm.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: All for it. That's what it is. He's playing that angle.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: That old chestnut. You're welcome. You can't lose, right?
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Because if they don't get better, then you got someone
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: bad off your team. And then if they do get better,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: they get better.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I take offense to KJ Duff's
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: the only good Rutgers player because I have a Rutgers.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Player on my team and that hurt me a little bit.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: That hurts me a little right there.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind. All right.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that's a great pickup. I can't believe
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: it took this long for him to find a roster.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: So great pick. And I do think that makes your
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: first place team even better.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll see you a little bit later.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: We'll finish off these picks without you, if that's all right.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: All right. Ashley Ryan, ladies and gentlemen, she will be
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: on with Ian again a little bit later on today.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: All right, Anders, you have a pickup as well.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: If you'd like to make it, you have the second pick.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: And that does. Oh, I was going to ask Ashley
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: if that makes. I think it does.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that. This is the way we've done things.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: So Roebuck is available if you would want to.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and unfortunately, I was looking to pick up KJ
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Duff if he was to slide to me. But I
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: am going to take Desmond Roebuck right after Ashley drops him.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: And I'm dropping to Corey and more from Oregon. A
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: couple of reasons why number one, and this was kind of,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: you mentioned this when I drafted him. Um, they just,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: they spread the ball around more than, uh, there's not
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: like one dominant receiver in that Oregon offense. While it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: a good offense, they, they spread it around a little bit.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: So he doesn't get like as much of the target
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: share that I would like. I number two, they have
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: a buy coming up here in a couple of weeks. So, um,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: I am kind of looking forward to that. Actually it's
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: next week.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. Um, they have a buy next week.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: So, um, I'm looking forward to that, trying to get
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: ahead of the game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: And I think.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Washington's offense on the Roebuck side, he, if anything, looked
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: better against Eastern.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Him and.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: DeMond Williams' kind of chemistry and connection looked at least
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: improved against Eastern.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that can continue moving forward. So I'm picking up.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Desmond robot all right you are in last place right
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: now i know i mean there's only 45 points separating
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: you from ashley so it's pretty close yeah it's close
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: yeah i mean this might be the closest that's ever
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: been in our history of doing this after three weeks
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: so 45 points separating first from last place not so
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: bad uh our listener team this year which is headed
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: up by eric um we haven't been able to get
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: a hold of eric this morning and there's probably a
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: good reason for it because we called him at the
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: last second We can't expect him to be available at
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: all times. So I'm just going to go ahead and
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: pause the picks, and then we'll make the other two
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: off the air. But I have the last pick. Erickson
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: second place with 231 points. I did have the number
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: one week this past week, so I've leapt. Anders to
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: get out of last place for the time being anyway.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I had 85 points, gives me 207 on the season,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: and I had the high point score this past week
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: in DeMond Williams Jr.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: With 30 points. And so, yeah, we got a really
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: close race here.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: We'll make the other two picks off the air, but
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: you should be sufficiently updated on your Big Ten schedule
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: right here on KJR. Coming up next, QB1 joins us
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: X's and O's on a Friday.
