Chuck & Buck 10-31 Hour 3: The Ocho, should we be rooting against the Dodgers and a big ten preview! · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: It's time for the show, the best twelve minutes of
0:06
Speaker 1: eight minutes of radio, brought to you by the rich
0:08
Speaker 1: complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey Weather.
0:11
Speaker 2: But please drink responsibly. But it's a football Friday sponsored
0:21
Speaker 2: by Tito's Handmade Vodka. It is also Halloween. Happy Halloween everyone,
0:28
Speaker 2: It's time for the Friday O Show. And yes, I
0:31
Speaker 2: know there are huge sports stories that we have to
0:34
Speaker 2: get to, but how could Halloween not be the top story?
0:38
Speaker 1: Now?
0:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, but happy Halloween everyone. Ashley Bucky and I we
0:44
Speaker 2: decided to dress down for Halloween this year. Yes, I
0:48
Speaker 2: just maybe we're uncovering some new way to do Halloween.
0:52
Speaker 2: Like the kids, you get their costumes ready, and then
0:55
Speaker 2: the adult, the parent is just like, now I've got
0:58
Speaker 2: to come up with a costume for lot to work
1:00
Speaker 2: that has a lot of work to put on my plate.
1:03
Speaker 2: And so maybe maybe we'll start a trend. We showed
1:07
Speaker 2: up today in our onesies, so we're basically wearing pajamas today. Uh,
1:12
Speaker 2: and so maybe this is the new way to do Alloween.
1:15
Speaker 2: Halloween is now dress you dress up the kids and
1:19
Speaker 2: dress down yourself about I'm down with it?
1:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't really have the urge. I
1:26
Speaker 3: never really, as an adult, really got into dressing up
1:30
Speaker 3: a whole heck of a lot. My thing is if
1:32
Speaker 3: I had a good one. One time I went as
1:33
Speaker 3: a ping Pong CHAMPI and it was easy. I made
1:36
Speaker 3: a shirt that said ping Pong champ and I had
1:38
Speaker 3: a big like afro red wig and a head band
1:42
Speaker 3: and super short shorts and tube socks.
1:44
Speaker 4: I don't like coach find things where you wear a
1:46
Speaker 4: lot of short shorts.
1:47
Speaker 2: I do. I do observation.
1:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and so like that one. If you don't
1:54
Speaker 3: have to explain the costume, I like it. If I
1:56
Speaker 3: have to explain it, I feel like it's not a
1:58
Speaker 3: good costume.
1:58
Speaker 2: I think that's fair.
2:00
Speaker 5: That's good mine and five Iron's best costume. We're not
2:03
Speaker 5: big costume people, but if we do it, we do
2:05
Speaker 5: it big.
2:06
Speaker 4: And he was Bob Ross one year, you know, the painter,
2:08
Speaker 4: and I was the painting.
2:10
Speaker 2: Oh.
2:11
Speaker 5: So I'd done one of those like paint and sip things,
2:14
Speaker 5: you know, and I had so had all these canvases
2:17
Speaker 5: with paintings on it. So I cut a hole in
2:19
Speaker 5: the center of the painting and then fit my and
2:22
Speaker 5: the strap, put a strap to the back so that
2:24
Speaker 5: my head went through the hole, and then I painted
2:26
Speaker 5: my face to look like the painting so I just
2:29
Speaker 5: walked around with the painting man.
2:31
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
2:32
Speaker 4: It was a pretty good one.
2:33
Speaker 2: That's advanced.
2:33
Speaker 4: I was pretty proud of that one.
2:34
Speaker 2: That's good. Yeah, that's damn good. It would have been
2:37
Speaker 2: good just at Bob Ross alone. Yeah, seeing five iron
2:40
Speaker 2: is Bob Ross for goodness. Oh yeah. Then for you
2:42
Speaker 2: to take it to that extreme, wow, I am impressed.
2:45
Speaker 4: It was good.
2:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, good job. Well, happy Halloween everybody. I guess we're
2:48
Speaker 2: gonna get hit by an atmospheric river, So address your
2:52
Speaker 2: kids accordingly tonight when they go trick or treating. Let's
2:55
Speaker 2: get to these sports stories. Seahawks are back in action finally.
2:59
Speaker 2: It's felt like seven and a half years since they
3:01
Speaker 2: last played a football game. It's been two weeks. They're
3:04
Speaker 2: coming off a bye and they're getting ready to take
3:07
Speaker 2: on the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, and Greg
3:11
Speaker 2: Bell told us our Seahawks Insider about an hour ago
3:14
Speaker 2: that Mike McDonald might have a few blitzy surprises for
3:17
Speaker 2: the Commanders.
3:18
Speaker 6: The other thing that's going to change for Seattle with
3:20
Speaker 6: Nick even Worry and Devin Witherspoon on the field Sunday
3:23
Speaker 6: night for the first time since the first five plays
3:26
Speaker 6: of the year. Is McDonald's going to blitz more? We
3:29
Speaker 6: mentioned that he's got a really low blitz rate compared
3:32
Speaker 6: to what he expected to. He said, he's not at
3:34
Speaker 6: all played like he thought he was going to be
3:36
Speaker 6: playing this year. But now with even Worry and Witherspoon back,
3:39
Speaker 6: they're going to blitz more out of the back end,
3:41
Speaker 6: and that's going to change the pressure in how Seattle
3:45
Speaker 6: gets to the quarterback. Now, of course the Dangers are
3:46
Speaker 6: blitzing Jaydan and Daniels. You've got to be pretty quick
3:49
Speaker 6: and pretty latterly able to run laterally to catch him
3:53
Speaker 6: going outside. But I'm expecting to see more pressure than
3:58
Speaker 6: four on Sunday Night than we've I've seen them. Wow.
4:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe Mike McDonald's I finally I get to unveil
4:03
Speaker 2: my true defense this week, which is a scary notion
4:07
Speaker 2: for not just the Commanders but for the rest of
4:10
Speaker 2: the teams on our schedule. Seahawks won't have Julian Love
4:14
Speaker 2: after all. The Commanders are going to be without wide
4:17
Speaker 2: receiver one. Terry McLaurin Jaydon Daniels is very likely to start.
4:21
Speaker 2: He was a full participant at practice on Wednesday, So
4:24
Speaker 2: it looks like we have we'll have face of their
4:27
Speaker 2: very talented second year quarterback in this game. Seahawks are
4:31
Speaker 2: three and a half point favorite on the road. But
4:34
Speaker 2: I just think, I mean, I get it. The Commanders
4:37
Speaker 2: aren't a bad football team, and I get that they're
4:41
Speaker 2: going to be a bit desperate. Maybe their season is
4:43
Speaker 2: on the line, maybe their chances to make the playoffs
4:46
Speaker 2: is going to be on the line, and in front
4:48
Speaker 2: of the entire nation watching at home and their own
4:51
Speaker 2: fans there inside the stadium, that they will be motivated
4:55
Speaker 2: by that. But man, everything else goes the Seahawks way.
4:58
Speaker 2: The healthier quarterback, the overall healthier team, the more rest
5:03
Speaker 2: that they've been given. They're playing better football right now.
5:07
Speaker 2: You know, they're coming off a buy where the Commanders
5:10
Speaker 2: are coming off a short week. I think we're winning
5:13
Speaker 2: this one easily. I think this is thirty four to twenty.
5:16
Speaker 2: I really don't.
5:18
Speaker 3: I mean, it feels like we have the more consistent
5:21
Speaker 3: team for sure. I mean, I just don't see anything yet.
5:24
Speaker 3: We talk about Jedfish and the Huskies and like kind
5:27
Speaker 3: of still looking for that signature win. I don't really
5:29
Speaker 3: feel like there's a signature win on the Seahawks schedule
5:32
Speaker 3: so far. I mean, you can't ask for a whole
5:34
Speaker 3: lot better than five and two. Six and one obviously
5:37
Speaker 3: would be better if you maybe didn't drop that first
5:39
Speaker 3: game against the Niners, but the Niners or the Bucks,
5:42
Speaker 3: if they'd won that, You're like, I would have felt
5:44
Speaker 3: a little bit different about this.
5:46
Speaker 2: See.
5:46
Speaker 3: I think the defense is legit, especially considering they haven't
5:49
Speaker 3: been healthy, and I think the offense is consistent. Just
5:52
Speaker 3: you know, they don't go out there and turn the
5:54
Speaker 3: ball over a ton, and yet to me it would
5:56
Speaker 3: It kind of feels like I still there's still a
5:59
Speaker 3: question mark around them, and yet there's plenty of question
6:02
Speaker 3: marks around the Commanders. I just think that if they
6:04
Speaker 3: go out, if you don't go out and play a
6:06
Speaker 3: really sound football game, and they could show up and
6:09
Speaker 3: play as talented as they are, especially with their quarterback
6:11
Speaker 3: back and then being backed into a corner a little bit,
6:14
Speaker 3: I think they could be dangerous.
6:15
Speaker 5: I would say if anything's close to a signature win,
6:18
Speaker 5: it would be that win on the road against the Steelers,
6:19
Speaker 5: because I just think that was unexpected going into the season.
6:22
Speaker 5: I would have thought they'd win at home against the
6:23
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers and lose the Steelers, And the fact
6:26
Speaker 5: that that was flip flopped through me for a bit
6:28
Speaker 5: of a loop.
6:29
Speaker 4: But I'd say that was a pretty good win.
6:30
Speaker 2: I think they've passed a lot of tests. I mean,
6:32
Speaker 2: Houston's better than their record, and they handled them pretty easily. Yeah,
6:36
Speaker 2: Jacksonville's better than what we expected, and they won by
6:40
Speaker 2: eight points on the road. Yep, the Steelers won by
6:47
Speaker 2: fourteen for goodness sake, against it. Even the most recent
6:50
Speaker 2: loss was one hell of a battle. For some reason,
6:53
Speaker 2: our defense didn't show up. But we could have very
6:55
Speaker 2: easily beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and what a plumb
6:58
Speaker 2: when that could have been. So I just think we're
7:01
Speaker 2: just look like a better team than the Commanders so
7:03
Speaker 2: far this season. And then when you think about all
7:06
Speaker 2: the other intangible factors, how on earth is Washington going
7:09
Speaker 2: to be more prepared to play Sunday night than what
7:13
Speaker 2: we are. It just feels like there's just way too
7:15
Speaker 2: many things working in our favor and working against the
7:19
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders come Sunday Night. But we'll see of course
7:22
Speaker 2: they've got a chance. Of course they can come out
7:23
Speaker 2: there and beat the Seahawks, but it just doesn't feel
7:27
Speaker 2: like that to me. By the way, Greg Bell also
7:29
Speaker 2: updated us on the round Table and a little bit
7:32
Speaker 2: earlier this morning. That's if anybody gets moved at the
7:36
Speaker 2: NFL trading deadline, which is coming up this Tuesday, it
7:39
Speaker 2: could be boy A Mafe. But I don't know how
7:42
Speaker 2: you make that move unless you're also adding a pass rusher.
7:45
Speaker 2: It seems like we're already thin at pass rusher. So
7:47
Speaker 2: if you're gonna trade a pass rusher, it better be
7:51
Speaker 2: part of a trade deadline that also sees you acquiring
7:54
Speaker 2: a pass rusher. Yeah, Miles Scars for example. Yeah, it's
7:57
Speaker 2: as good as done. Yeah. So a lot going on
8:01
Speaker 2: with the Seahawks commanders. Of course, kickoff will be at
8:05
Speaker 2: five point twenty on Sunday night. Now. The week of
8:08
Speaker 2: the National Football League got started last night with the
8:10
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens routing the Miami Dolphins.
8:13
Speaker 4: All walks over to the line, the changes play two.
8:15
Speaker 7: On the play, Crok claps his hands, gets the snap
8:17
Speaker 7: back to.
8:18
Speaker 4: Throw back pedaling back pedaling towards the ends up.
8:20
Speaker 7: Tart the five Mark Andrews with the goal line touchdown.
8:23
Speaker 7: Ravens Baltimore's tight end with his second touchdown grab of
8:29
Speaker 7: the first half. Jackson to Andrews hurt it so many times.
8:35
Speaker 7: Had it's thirteen to three Baltimore fifty seconds into.
8:38
Speaker 2: The second quarter, I just thank you Wes would one.
8:41
Speaker 2: I just can't tell you how awesome it is, What
8:43
Speaker 2: a great feeling it is to have Derick Henry on
8:46
Speaker 2: your fantasy roster to get inside the ten yard line
8:49
Speaker 2: four times and never give him the ball. That's awesome.
8:51
Speaker 4: No, I bet that's really sorre great. I really enjoy that,
8:54
Speaker 4: great fantasy game plan.
8:56
Speaker 2: Great great moment for me. Last night Ravens won easily
9:00
Speaker 2: twenty eight to six over the Miami Dolphins to improve
9:02
Speaker 2: to three and five, and their next six games for
9:04
Speaker 2: people that buried the very talented and always well coached
9:09
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens, they play at Minnesota, at Cleveland, home to
9:13
Speaker 2: the Jets, and Bengals home to Pittsburgh, and then at Cincinnati.
9:17
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they could be nine to five
9:20
Speaker 2: at that point. So the Ravens are still favored to
9:23
Speaker 2: win their division by Vegas and pretty much have been
9:26
Speaker 2: throughout this entire process, and now that they've won back
9:29
Speaker 2: to back games, feels like it feels like people are
9:32
Speaker 2: coming around to acknowledging it.
9:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
9:35
Speaker 3: I mean, you know they're gonna have to play good
9:38
Speaker 3: complimentary that that offense is dangerous. I mean, we sought
9:41
Speaker 3: last year with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. Lamar wasn't
9:44
Speaker 3: playing like Lamar though early, even before he got hurt,
9:47
Speaker 3: he looked more like Lamaro.
9:48
Speaker 2: Why I keep hearing that he scored forty points against
9:51
Speaker 2: the Bills and forty points against the the defense horrendous. Yeah, yeah,
9:56
Speaker 2: time I agree with that, But I Lamar Jackson had
9:59
Speaker 2: one bad game against the Chiefs. He did not look
10:02
Speaker 2: like Lamar Jackson, and they've been doing that to everybody
10:05
Speaker 2: Other than that, he was putting forty points on the
10:07
Speaker 2: board every week.
10:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just didn't feel it felt different.
10:11
Speaker 3: I mean, I can remember watching his face after during
10:14
Speaker 3: many games and he just looked kind of poudy, like
10:17
Speaker 3: he had made a mistake or he wasn't doing whatever
10:19
Speaker 3: it took for him to be able to go out
10:21
Speaker 3: there and continue the MVP style stuff.
10:24
Speaker 2: And maybe that's what it is.
10:25
Speaker 3: Maybe it's we've been watching a dude play MVP caliber,
10:28
Speaker 3: and maybe it was something slightly less than that. I
10:31
Speaker 3: think that there if you were throwing dirt on him
10:33
Speaker 3: because he was hurt and they were losing some games,
10:35
Speaker 3: I think that was wrong.
10:36
Speaker 5: I just really liked when they showed the remaining schedule
10:39
Speaker 5: during the game last night, and the toughest team they
10:41
Speaker 5: will face is the Patriots and the next seven week. Yeah,
10:45
Speaker 5: that was the best. Yeah, that was the best team
10:47
Speaker 5: on their remains the entire skit.
10:49
Speaker 4: Yes, that was it.
10:51
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Sunday, Indianapolis at Pittsburgh is the best early game, arguably,
10:56
Speaker 2: Kansas City at Buffalo undoubtedly is the best afternoon game.
11:00
Speaker 2: And then your Sunday night affair will all be glued
11:02
Speaker 2: to the television for the Hawks at the Commanders. It
11:06
Speaker 2: am number four on the o JOW. The Huskies are
11:08
Speaker 2: on by this week, but we spent plenty of time
11:10
Speaker 2: this week discussing them. Coach new Eiel joined us on Tuesday,
11:14
Speaker 2: and he mapped out a clear cut key to the
11:17
Speaker 2: Huskies and their remaining games.
11:18
Speaker 8: The two teams that have beaten Washington have held Demon
11:22
Speaker 8: Williams to minus rushing yards. His legs open up the
11:26
Speaker 8: rest of the offense, and the schedule sets up beautifully
11:30
Speaker 8: for him. You know, they're going to be favored in
11:32
Speaker 8: their next three games. The only exception will be the
11:35
Speaker 8: finale against Oregon. But if they can win the next three,
11:39
Speaker 8: they get to even if the Oregon game doesn't go well,
11:42
Speaker 8: that's nine to three.
11:43
Speaker 2: A bowl game.
11:44
Speaker 8: Puts you into a ten and three ten win season.
11:47
Speaker 8: That is progress, and anybody paying attention to Washington football
11:51
Speaker 8: is going to start taking very close notice about wanting
11:54
Speaker 8: to come to play at Motlay.
11:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really well said, coach. Usually is you dub
11:58
Speaker 2: at Wisconsin next Saturday. Meanwhile, tomorrow the Pac twelve Championship. Tomorrow,
12:03
Speaker 2: the red hot Washington State Cougars will be at Oregon
12:07
Speaker 2: State to take on the Beavers. The rest of your
12:10
Speaker 2: lineup tomorrow. Some of the highlights Penn State at number
12:14
Speaker 2: one Ohio State, that was supposed to be the game
12:16
Speaker 2: of the year and instead big noon kickoff. They're not
12:21
Speaker 2: even going to get the most eyeballs. I wouldn't think.
12:24
Speaker 2: I would think more people will watch Vanderbilt at Texas
12:27
Speaker 2: at nine am than Penn State at Ohio State afternoon.
12:31
Speaker 2: Oklahoma at Tennessee, that's eighteen versus fourteen, and then later
12:35
Speaker 2: seventeen Cincinnati at twenty four. Utah will have a full
12:39
Speaker 2: Big Ten weekend preview coming up at eight forty five tonight,
12:43
Speaker 2: the Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to close out
12:47
Speaker 2: the World Series and become World champs and Canadians. Man,
12:51
Speaker 2: they can't figure out why suddenly all of America has
12:54
Speaker 2: turned against them as fans. I don't know what you're
12:57
Speaker 2: talking abouot Hey, it's.
13:01
Speaker 1: About what we're talking about.
13:03
Speaker 2: And enough of that eight business. You can learn how
13:06
Speaker 2: to talk right, understanding, we got ways of making you
13:09
Speaker 2: pronounce the letter.
13:09
Speaker 9: Oh.
13:12
Speaker 2: Toronto is up three to two in the best of seven.
13:14
Speaker 2: They're gonna have two shots at closing this thing out.
13:17
Speaker 2: But oot right exactly. But for those that are already
13:22
Speaker 2: kind of putting it in the win column for Toronto,
13:25
Speaker 2: I will just say this, of all the pitchers that
13:28
Speaker 2: have pitched in the postseason, Yoshi Yamamato has been the best,
13:33
Speaker 2: and he is going tonight. And if they can just
13:35
Speaker 2: ride him tonight, then all of a sudden, we're gonna
13:39
Speaker 2: have a Game seven. And you know what they say
13:40
Speaker 2: about game sevens, anything can happen.
13:42
Speaker 3: M M, yeah, I mean, I think if you're thinking
13:45
Speaker 3: that there's no chance that the Dodger, I mean they're
13:48
Speaker 3: out of all the teams, the Dodgers are the team
13:50
Speaker 3: because they can come out and absolutely shove pitching wise,
13:53
Speaker 3: and then if that lineup wakes up a little bit,
13:56
Speaker 3: they can they can get some stuff done.
13:58
Speaker 2: That's it.
13:58
Speaker 3: I think so far, the Blue Jays have played better
14:00
Speaker 3: baseball throughout the course of the first five.
14:03
Speaker 2: They outplayed it.
14:04
Speaker 3: They've outplayed the outpaid team. And uh and so, I mean,
14:09
Speaker 3: to some degree, I'm sure I'm probably in the minority here.
14:12
Speaker 3: I don't really have a dog in the fight, and
14:14
Speaker 3: I kind of went into it not really liking either
14:16
Speaker 3: team to win, and yet I found myself pretty much
14:19
Speaker 3: being happier that the Blue Jays are winning versus the
14:22
Speaker 3: instead of the Dodgers.
14:23
Speaker 5: I feel like the good news is though, that if
14:26
Speaker 5: the Dodgers win the night and you go to a
14:27
Speaker 5: game seven, then they could both lose Game seven.
14:29
Speaker 2: Right, Maybe maybe there is a wrinkle in the red
14:36
Speaker 2: I'm going to finishing a tie. Yeah, wouldn't it be
14:40
Speaker 2: some We found out that George Springer really did just
14:43
Speaker 2: help the Blue Jays cheat this entire time, and that's
14:46
Speaker 2: the reason why they're hitting so well against some of
14:48
Speaker 2: the best bids that I think I just did. Yeah,
14:54
Speaker 2: all right, Sounders in action on Monday, they'll take on
14:57
Speaker 2: Minnesota United. Of course, the sound and the United and
15:01
Speaker 2: Game number one or match number one went to a
15:03
Speaker 2: shootout to decide the game after scoreless regulation. Play the
15:08
Speaker 2: mad scientists, you know, probably as him just where he
15:11
Speaker 2: wants them, but even he was frustrated by Minnesota's game
15:15
Speaker 2: of keep away that they play well.
15:17
Speaker 9: The frustrating part about the way they play Softie and.
15:19
Speaker 8: Look they didn't they didn't they say it in the press.
15:23
Speaker 9: I mean they want to deliberately slow the tempo down.
15:27
Speaker 9: They want to take.
15:28
Speaker 6: The sting out of the game.
15:29
Speaker 8: Even at home.
15:29
Speaker 9: I mean the goalkeeper was taking thirty forty seconds every goalkick.
15:34
Speaker 9: You know, they every free kick, they just push guys
15:37
Speaker 9: up the field and tick it long and they're long throwing.
15:40
Speaker 9: Look that's who they are. We know who they are.
15:43
Speaker 9: So does it frustrate us, yes, it make it difficult
15:47
Speaker 9: for the players, yes, But the silver lining was again,
15:52
Speaker 9: you know, we created enough chances to get at least one,
15:56
Speaker 9: and I think Softie, if we get one at home.
15:59
Speaker 9: Even if we get one on the road, that might
16:01
Speaker 9: be enough because they really didn't have too much. I mean,
16:04
Speaker 9: they had to break away when when you know, Yaimar
16:07
Speaker 9: made a you know, maybe a silly decision at midfield
16:09
Speaker 9: and the guy broke in.
16:11
Speaker 6: That was their only chance.
16:13
Speaker 2: Brian Schmetzer the Mad Scientists song with Softy and Dick
16:17
Speaker 2: earlier this week. If you want to hear the entire interview,
16:19
Speaker 2: you can do so at ninety three to three KJR
16:21
Speaker 2: dot com Monday. That game, that match will be played
16:24
Speaker 2: Monday at seven point thirty at Loominfield. And so don't
16:29
Speaker 2: put it past the Sounders rallying to win back to
16:32
Speaker 2: back games. They usually step up this time of the year. Finally,
16:35
Speaker 2: college basketball season will also start on Monday. Head coach
16:40
Speaker 2: Danny Sprinkle of the Dogs was with us yesterday and
16:43
Speaker 2: talked about the lessons he learned from a disappointing year one.
16:47
Speaker 10: It was my third year in a different program. The
16:50
Speaker 10: emotions of leaving players that you care about and leaving
16:53
Speaker 10: programs and fan bases that you love like it's hard,
16:57
Speaker 10: you know, and it took an emotional toll on me
16:59
Speaker 10: last year that I didn't even really realize until probably
17:02
Speaker 10: this June, you know, and like I was spent. You know,
17:06
Speaker 10: I just was like you just you just go. You
17:08
Speaker 10: just get through today. You get through the day, You
17:09
Speaker 10: get through the day. And then it actually felt like
17:12
Speaker 10: home probably the end of June, like honestly, once the
17:15
Speaker 10: spring quarter got over and kind of had a week
17:18
Speaker 10: you know, before the guys the new crew came in
17:20
Speaker 10: for the summer. And once the new crew came in,
17:22
Speaker 10: it was like I was refreshed. You know, it was like, Okay,
17:25
Speaker 10: let's go. You know, all the lessons we learned in
17:28
Speaker 10: year one. Okay, I actually feel comfortable here in Seattle.
17:31
Speaker 10: I know where I'm going, I know where my home is.
17:34
Speaker 10: You know, I got stuff out of storage, like I'm
17:36
Speaker 10: not living out of Will Disley's house, and you know,
17:39
Speaker 10: like and so like that was like the comfort level.
17:42
Speaker 10: It's like okay, like I can breathe, let's go.
17:45
Speaker 2: They had a heck of an off season. They got
17:47
Speaker 2: votes for Top twenty five coming off a disastrous year
17:50
Speaker 2: record wise a year ago. That shows you just how
17:53
Speaker 2: much progress that they've made talent wise through the transfer portal.
17:58
Speaker 2: Danny Sprinkle and the Doll Will debut in twenty twenty five,
18:02
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Monday night at eight o'clock. As a
18:06
Speaker 2: matter of fact, they played the last game of the day.
18:09
Speaker 2: One hundred and sixty nine college basketball games are scheduled
18:14
Speaker 2: to be played on Monday.
18:16
Speaker 3: Jeezeez again, after it, it's here. It It totally snuck
18:20
Speaker 3: up on me, by the way. I mean, I think
18:22
Speaker 3: the Mariner's playoff run was just kind of all encompassing,
18:26
Speaker 3: and you still had to have your eye on the NFL.
18:28
Speaker 3: But I was completely shocked when I think it was Purple.
18:31
Speaker 3: She was like, Yeah, they already played one, like a
18:33
Speaker 3: little tune up game, and the season starts in like
18:35
Speaker 3: three days.
18:36
Speaker 2: I'm like, what that happen?
18:39
Speaker 5: I think you were right there though, Bucky, because yeah,
18:42
Speaker 5: we're never We're not used to watching the Mariners most
18:44
Speaker 5: of the way through October, so we've got a gap.
18:47
Speaker 2: We'll get used to it any I'm.
18:48
Speaker 4: Going to be used to it too. I want to
18:50
Speaker 4: plan things around Mariner's playoff games.
18:52
Speaker 2: Damn it. Cracking Rangers Saturday night, so they Cracking have
18:57
Speaker 2: had a little extra time off in the schedule this week,
19:00
Speaker 2: so they will be coming off three four days rest
19:03
Speaker 2: when they take on the Rangers Saturday night at Climate
19:06
Speaker 2: Pledge Arena, and you can hear the action right here
19:08
Speaker 2: on KJAR all right, coming up next, why you may
19:12
Speaker 2: want the Jays to win the World Series? Sports Radio
19:16
Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM too. Even he's trying to
19:19
Speaker 2: be cute and smart and trying to say that, you know, well, look,
19:23
Speaker 2: I don't think you should ever mention, as a representative
19:25
Speaker 2: of Major League Baseball that we should ruin baseball. So
19:29
Speaker 2: I think that is is tacky to begin with, and
19:31
Speaker 2: it's also like something out of mean Girls to me,
19:34
Speaker 2: Like it's the girl that has all the money and
19:37
Speaker 2: got blessed with all the looks going up to the
19:40
Speaker 2: homely girl in the school and just openly taunting her
19:43
Speaker 2: with a microphone in her hands. That's what that came
19:46
Speaker 2: across to me, as I thought that was tasteless by
19:49
Speaker 2: Dave Robins hundred percent.
19:51
Speaker 3: I think that might be the reason, like I said that,
19:54
Speaker 3: my rooting interest has somehow veered towards the team that
19:57
Speaker 3: I absolutely hated a week and a half ago. I mean,
20:00
Speaker 3: just because they knocked us out and how that whole
20:03
Speaker 3: series went down. But it's yeah, it's the idea of
20:06
Speaker 3: when you're giving a lot and then you just kind
20:08
Speaker 3: of like rub it in the face of people that
20:10
Speaker 3: are not the same. I mean they're not the same
20:12
Speaker 3: how much they spent. Maybe the Mets can say, well,
20:14
Speaker 3: we were right there with you, but for the most part,
20:16
Speaker 3: every other team is working with less to some degree.
20:21
Speaker 3: And yet you're just like, yeah, let's show them. Like
20:24
Speaker 3: to me, it's you're right, it's like a mean girls,
20:27
Speaker 3: it's a gross comment.
20:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, all right now, I do want to
20:30
Speaker 2: kind of sink our teeth into this a little bit
20:32
Speaker 2: here as time a lots and that is. Look, I
20:36
Speaker 2: never had a problem ever with the differences in baseball.
20:39
Speaker 2: I mean, it was capitalism. It was the larger markets
20:42
Speaker 2: just spent more, and that's the way it was. I
20:44
Speaker 2: think people over exaggerate how much of an advantage that
20:48
Speaker 2: that is. There's more parody, it's a fact in Major
20:52
Speaker 2: League Baseball than there is in the NFL or in
20:55
Speaker 2: the NBA. And so I just have never really had
20:59
Speaker 2: that big of a problem. You two know this, I'll
21:02
Speaker 2: repeat it. What really has become a problem though for me,
21:06
Speaker 2: as the additional benefits that the Dodgers are being given,
21:10
Speaker 2: the deferred payments that should have been outlawed the moment
21:13
Speaker 2: that it happened, Like the idea that you only have
21:16
Speaker 2: to pay show A a million dollars and then you can
21:18
Speaker 2: defer seventy million dollars salary per year to the future
21:23
Speaker 2: at some point and you're gonna wait until you sell
21:25
Speaker 2: the franchise for a hundred times more than what you
21:28
Speaker 2: paid for it, and then you're gonna pay off that debt.
21:31
Speaker 2: I think that that is spits in the face of
21:34
Speaker 2: an already imbalanced league that we tolerated, But that to
21:40
Speaker 2: me rubs the face, rubs in the face of every
21:44
Speaker 2: mid small market club that just simply can't spend like
21:47
Speaker 2: the Dodgers can. So I have a huge problem with that.
21:50
Speaker 2: And then the extra bonus that they get because show
21:53
Speaker 2: A is now in place, and now he's just recruiting
21:57
Speaker 2: all the Japanese players, those four with big salaries and
22:01
Speaker 2: those that make no money like Roki Sasaki, and now
22:04
Speaker 2: they're just all wanting to go play with shohe and
22:07
Speaker 2: play with their fellow Japanese stars. So the advantages that
22:10
Speaker 2: they're being given. I mean, the Dodgers for a long
22:13
Speaker 2: time were not only a high spender but they did
22:16
Speaker 2: a remarkable job in their farm system developing talent. Their
22:20
Speaker 2: entire team now is just what they bought and paid for.
22:23
Speaker 2: I mean, there are very few examples on this roster,
22:26
Speaker 2: nobody in their starting rotation that they developed, and very
22:30
Speaker 2: few people in their starting lineup that they developed at
22:33
Speaker 2: this point. And so, yes, it has gotten to the
22:36
Speaker 2: point where now I don't like it anymore. Now I
22:40
Speaker 2: can't defend it anymore. And it might lead and I'll
22:44
Speaker 2: get to it in a moment, but I want you
22:45
Speaker 2: to get the chance to respond. It might lead to
22:48
Speaker 2: some drastic changes that we may or may not want.
22:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess I don't like the way
22:55
Speaker 3: in which they do it. And yet it's not like
22:57
Speaker 3: other teams can't do it. Apparently, you know the deferred
23:00
Speaker 3: payment thing. Then I wish our guys would do it
23:02
Speaker 3: to some degree if that's what it took, right, If
23:04
Speaker 3: it's like, I'm only willing to come out of pocket
23:07
Speaker 3: for this amount per year. But I know at some
23:10
Speaker 3: point in time, I'm gonna be able to sell this,
23:12
Speaker 3: and I don't care which organization, which which team it is,
23:15
Speaker 3: You're gonna be able to sell it for billions of
23:17
Speaker 3: dollars and so I will take out of my eventual
23:21
Speaker 3: net that I profit with from to pay this to
23:24
Speaker 3: put it in here. To me, that's it seems very smart. Now,
23:28
Speaker 3: it's really it's kind of gross when it's already a
23:31
Speaker 3: team that has a bunch of money and then they
23:33
Speaker 3: just do it and continue to do it, and do
23:35
Speaker 3: it with multiple guys, because then it seems like, man,
23:37
Speaker 3: you are really taking advantage of a loophole that's in
23:40
Speaker 3: the system of an already imbalanced system, that the way
23:44
Speaker 3: that it's set up, And so I, to me, part
23:46
Speaker 3: of me is just like, well, then I instead of
23:48
Speaker 3: being mad at them, it makes me more envious of them,
23:51
Speaker 3: more envious of Why don't we do that then? If
23:54
Speaker 3: there's a way to skirt around it where you're not
23:56
Speaker 3: having to come out of pocket. Now you're just kicking
23:58
Speaker 3: that can down the road. You know that it's worth
24:01
Speaker 3: more down the road, especially if it helps you win
24:03
Speaker 3: World Series. To me, it's like, then why don't we
24:07
Speaker 3: get on board with that plan?
24:08
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's just just be outlawed. I just
24:10
Speaker 2: think that it's just too sticky. I mean, you should
24:13
Speaker 2: have to pay the guys that you have, right now,
24:15
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have a salary cap in this league.
24:18
Speaker 2: I get how in the salary cap in the NFL
24:20
Speaker 2: you got to you can move things and manipulate it around,
24:23
Speaker 2: but you do have restrictions. We don't have financial restrictions.
24:26
Speaker 2: And so when you just allow teams to run amuck
24:29
Speaker 2: and change the rules on the fly and you don't
24:31
Speaker 2: do anything about it, I don't think we want a
24:36
Speaker 2: system where everybody can just defer payments into the future,
24:39
Speaker 2: because that's how you shut down the league.
24:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all shut out.
24:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, if everybody starts doing it, they're immediately going to
24:45
Speaker 5: have a problem with it, and then it will be
24:47
Speaker 5: shut down and it'll be like, well, so it was
24:48
Speaker 5: fine for the Dodgers to do it once we started
24:50
Speaker 5: doing it. Now it's not fine. I don't That is
24:53
Speaker 5: my one big issue with them is the deferred payments. Again,
24:56
Speaker 5: I get it, you have a lot of money. You're
24:57
Speaker 5: gonna you can get all the players you want. But
25:00
Speaker 5: as you said, you should have to pay the players
25:03
Speaker 5: you have on your team at the time they are
25:04
Speaker 5: on your team.
25:05
Speaker 4: You should not be able to get away with paying
25:07
Speaker 4: them twenty years down the road.
25:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. It should hit you. Now, if you're
25:10
Speaker 2: going to outmit everybody for Show a Otani, you should
25:12
Speaker 2: have to pay show Tony in the moment.
25:15
Speaker 5: And that's also Show's fault for agreed to be to
25:18
Speaker 5: a deferred payment.
25:19
Speaker 2: And then let me pay off the t's here in
25:22
Speaker 2: the time that we have left and we really don't
25:24
Speaker 2: have any time. There is this underlying, kind of hidden
25:29
Speaker 2: secret belief that maybe Rob Manfred wants the Dodgers to
25:33
Speaker 2: win the World Series this way, and this is why
25:36
Speaker 2: he hasn't stopped this from happening, because Rob Manfred wants
25:41
Speaker 2: a salary cap. A lot of owners won a salary cap,
25:45
Speaker 2: and baseball players have never been willing to give him one.
25:50
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a dark secret under the
25:53
Speaker 2: surface that Rob Manfred wants the Dodgers to dominate because
25:57
Speaker 2: if they dominate, then it helps his call for creating
26:01
Speaker 2: a salary cap in the future. And so maybe you
26:06
Speaker 2: want a salary cap to even things out. Maybe that
26:09
Speaker 2: would make all the fan bases that don't follow the Mets,
26:13
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Yankees feel better. So maybe you do want
26:16
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to win and not the Jays, or if
26:19
Speaker 2: you want to avoid the potential lockout that this is
26:23
Speaker 2: going to create, and I'm talking we might have to
26:25
Speaker 2: miss an entire year. You know, this is this This
26:28
Speaker 2: would be the biggest thing that Rob Manford ever tried
26:31
Speaker 2: to pull off. And when they get to the new
26:33
Speaker 2: collective bargaining agreement, You're not just gonna figure it out
26:37
Speaker 2: at the midnight hour right before the season starts. You're
26:41
Speaker 2: gonna miss time to get this done. You're gonna have
26:43
Speaker 2: to You're probably gonna have to miss a year to
26:46
Speaker 2: get this done. So maybe people don't want that. Maybe
26:49
Speaker 2: you do want the Jays to win because you don't
26:51
Speaker 2: want to give Rob Manford ammunition to potentially shut down
26:54
Speaker 2: the sport for a year or two, because that is
26:57
Speaker 2: going to be a big topic when the collective bargaining
27:01
Speaker 2: agreement expires. And there are some that believe Rob Manfred
27:05
Speaker 2: wants the Dodgers to dominate so that he can use
27:08
Speaker 2: that to try to get a salary cap.
27:10
Speaker 3: Well, the players are not going to go for it.
27:12
Speaker 3: We know that they've dug their heels in on that
27:15
Speaker 3: and I don't think they will. If anything, it would
27:16
Speaker 3: be even more of an argument where the players will
27:18
Speaker 3: be like, hey, if you don't want to pay us now,
27:21
Speaker 3: you can pay us later. The whole reason for the
27:24
Speaker 3: deferred payments, right, I mean, if the Dodgers were wanting
27:27
Speaker 3: to get show hand, they were willing to pay whatever
27:29
Speaker 3: they had to pay to get in, but they also
27:30
Speaker 3: wanted the rest of the team to be really good
27:32
Speaker 3: because they want to win now versus trying to spend
27:36
Speaker 3: all of it now. Then they figured away that's within
27:39
Speaker 3: the rules at this point in time, and they've assembled
27:42
Speaker 3: the best team that money can buy.
27:43
Speaker 2: Obviously. Well, I just don't think that you can just
27:45
Speaker 2: keep collect kicking a financial cam down the road. I
27:49
Speaker 2: don't think that you can do it individually. I don't
27:51
Speaker 2: think you should be able to do it as a company.
27:53
Speaker 2: I don't think you should be able to do it
27:54
Speaker 2: as an organization or as a corporation. It eventually is
27:57
Speaker 2: going to catch up to you. I don't think that
27:59
Speaker 2: that is something that can exist. I just can't. One
28:03
Speaker 2: team can get away with it, and they are getting
28:05
Speaker 2: away with it, But I don't think it can become
28:07
Speaker 2: a collective effort just to keep spending money in the
28:10
Speaker 2: future that you don't even have.
28:12
Speaker 4: Right now, and you don't even know if you'll have
28:13
Speaker 4: it in the future.
28:14
Speaker 2: You don't know. If you have it in the future,
28:15
Speaker 2: you don't know what's coming down the road. So we
28:18
Speaker 2: shall see. By the way, our coverage of the postseason
28:21
Speaker 2: been brought to you throughout by Seattle's closest no Qualm
28:25
Speaker 2: casino and Hotel. Big Ten schedule for this weekend plus
28:29
Speaker 2: our pickups next on kjar all Right, college Football's Big
28:43
Speaker 2: Ten weekend. We always go through it here at a
28:46
Speaker 2: forty five ish on Fridays, plus our pickups at the end.
28:51
Speaker 2: At Penn State at Ohio State nine am kickoff. It
28:53
Speaker 2: was supposed to be the game of the year in
28:55
Speaker 2: college football, and instead Penn State not even ranked, where
28:59
Speaker 2: Ohio State is number one in the country and are
29:02
Speaker 2: expected to win big. Also nine am kickoff, Illinois will
29:06
Speaker 2: be home to Rutgers as the aligne I try to
29:08
Speaker 2: bounce back from their loss to the Huskies and number
29:12
Speaker 2: two Indiana looks every bit the best, our second best
29:17
Speaker 2: team in college football. They'll be at Maryland that kicks
29:20
Speaker 2: off at twelve thirty. Michigan State at Minnesota or PJ.
29:23
Speaker 2: Fleck will continue to keep secrets from us. I guess
29:27
Speaker 2: for the rest of mankind's existence. I suppose twelve thirty
29:31
Speaker 2: kickoff between the Gophers and the Michigan State Spartans at
29:34
Speaker 2: four o'clock Michigan number twenty one in the country os
29:37
Speaker 2: Purdue and then number twenty three USC at Nebraska also
29:41
Speaker 2: four to thirty kickoff there. Matt Ruhle, by the way, resigned,
29:45
Speaker 2: not just resigned to sign an extension with the Nebraska Cornhuskers,
29:49
Speaker 2: so he's not going to Penn State. Signette's not going
29:51
Speaker 2: to Penn State. A couple of names have decided to
29:55
Speaker 2: re up with where they are. We like it just
29:57
Speaker 2: fine right here. So there is your schedule. That means
30:00
Speaker 2: you got six teams on by Washington of course, Oregon, Iowa, Northwestern, UCLA,
30:08
Speaker 2: and Wisconsin all on by this week, which does complicate
30:13
Speaker 2: things in our Big ten Fantasy football league that we
30:16
Speaker 2: do here for a Green Jacket, and man, we got
30:18
Speaker 2: a tight race. Christopher Kidd is now in first place.
30:22
Speaker 2: He had a big week from Denzel Boston and a
30:24
Speaker 2: big week overall, six hundred and fifty two points right now.
30:28
Speaker 2: Bucky even moved past Ashley. She dropped from first to third.
30:32
Speaker 2: But it's tight. It's tight. Six twenty seven points for
30:36
Speaker 2: Bucky and Ashley at six twenty five, and if Darius
30:40
Speaker 2: Taylor would ever play, I'd be right there with you, guys.
30:44
Speaker 2: I'm forty eight points back of Ashley for third place,
30:47
Speaker 2: and I've gotten five zeros from Darius Taylor this year
30:51
Speaker 2: because PJ. Fleck will not announce whether or not his
30:53
Speaker 2: players are injured, and he's actually getting in trouble for it,
30:56
Speaker 2: and it's about damn time. I hope he gets hammered
30:59
Speaker 2: with a three billion dollar fine.
31:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's probably doing it just to get you.
31:05
Speaker 2: Probably he's like, I know that Chuck guy.
31:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, really happy about Darius Taylor getting on his team
31:09
Speaker 3: again this year.
31:10
Speaker 2: Watch what is damn now? He's probably not even hurt,
31:14
Speaker 2: all right. So here we go with our pickups. Kid,
31:16
Speaker 2: even though he's in first place, has the first pick
31:19
Speaker 2: this week, I think we're probably all gonna have to
31:21
Speaker 2: make up picks this week. He's got two guys sitting
31:23
Speaker 2: off Boston and callam Mafe, and it's decided I'm not
31:27
Speaker 2: going to take a zero from my brand new running back,
31:30
Speaker 2: Caleb callam Maafe. So he's dumped him and he's picking
31:33
Speaker 2: up Jordan Marshall, the backup running back at Michigan. Uh yeah,
31:37
Speaker 2: I guess there's enough carries to go around with Justin
31:40
Speaker 2: Ayins and Jordan Marshall to suit kid. So Jordan Marshall's
31:44
Speaker 2: this pick up Caleb calamafe is being cut. I have
31:47
Speaker 2: to cut Darius Taylor. I don't have a choice. I
31:51
Speaker 2: have to cut it.
31:51
Speaker 4: That he's gonna have three hundred yards, I know it.
31:53
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he's healthy. And I can't
31:55
Speaker 2: keep taking these zeros. I was going to dump Demon
31:58
Speaker 2: Williams this year this week and pick up Julian Saying
32:03
Speaker 2: from Ohio State. But I would have been taking my guy,
32:06
Speaker 2: I know. So I've let you off the hook here
32:09
Speaker 2: because of p J Flack.
32:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, your guy might go off this week, though, I'm
32:15
Speaker 3: picking Cardinal Tate back up.
32:17
Speaker 2: All right, So I'm picking up up Cardinal Tate and
32:19
Speaker 2: I'll dump Darius Taylor this week all rights.
32:23
Speaker 5: As terrible or that he has the same issues. I
32:25
Speaker 5: don't want to just go off this week and screw
32:27
Speaker 5: you over.
32:28
Speaker 2: That's really nice of you, Yeah, because it's going to happen.
32:31
Speaker 4: Probably, I'm just putting it out there that I don't
32:34
Speaker 4: want that to happen.
32:35
Speaker 3: Well, if you would have dropped Demon Williams, and since
32:39
Speaker 3: he's on by and then went and taken my guy,
32:41
Speaker 3: then I would have had to take Ashley's guy. And
32:44
Speaker 3: so I'm glad that you didn't do it because I'm
32:45
Speaker 3: going to drop I'm gonna drop my boy, Dante. You
32:48
Speaker 3: didn't do a lot for me last week, but you
32:52
Speaker 3: just keep going out there winning ball games.
32:54
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna go ahead and pick up.
32:55
Speaker 4: Julian sand Okay, who's my guy by the way.
32:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, who is her guy? Luke Atmeyer?
33:01
Speaker 4: Oh I had options?
33:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you could have taken your USC kid. All right, Ashley,
33:07
Speaker 2: you have the last pick. You've got out and Coleman out,
33:12
Speaker 2: so you got to do something.
33:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not getting rid of Coleman and experiment sucked,
33:16
Speaker 5: So I'm going to drop him by U C l A.
33:19
Speaker 4: And I will pick up my guy, Luke Altmeyer.
33:22
Speaker 2: All right, All Meyer's back on Ashley's team where he belongs.
33:26
Speaker 2: That's right, All right, there you go. Yeah, it's crazy
33:30
Speaker 2: ass competition.
33:32
Speaker 3: If you had dropped Demon Williams, I might have taken
33:35
Speaker 3: a zero quarterback and then snipered him next time.
33:38
Speaker 4: That would have been a good move.
33:39
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well so I was thinking about it because
33:42
Speaker 2: I got ground makeup. I can't afford zeros. I certainly
33:45
Speaker 2: can't afford to. So Darius Taylor buzz off.
33:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, gf y d Darius.
33:51
Speaker 2: A couple of these. Wow, he actually.
33:53
Speaker 4: Even Darius GFY coach.
33:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's he has a hand in it or
33:57
Speaker 2: a hamstring in it. Humeil and Next Sports Radio ninety
