  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJRFM
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Sports Headlines.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light Cold
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: as the Rockies. All right, we're getting news from the Seahawks.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: It's not great. We just heard from Greg Bell a
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: moment ago. No Zach Charbonnet this weekend. He will not play.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Just part of the process, says Mike McDonald. Nick Emanwari,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke, both listed as questionable. What the hell is
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: going on over there? That's not good. We don't like that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: None of that is good for the Seahawks right now. Also,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Anthony Bradford will play. That's good news. Drake Thomas is out.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: That's bad news. If Drew Locke can't go, then the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: backup is Jalen Milrow.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's also bad news.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Fun times. Oh, also, Mammoth lost to the Kraken last night. Yay!
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They're supposed to be really good at hockey. Kraken are better.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: They won last night. Kraken did 5-3 next up Minnesota tomorrow.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: 6.30 pregame, 7 o'clock drop of the puck. World Series
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: starts tonight. Rays and Brewers in Milwaukee. That game tonight
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, one of those two teams is going to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: win their first ever World Series. That's kind of fun,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: except for if you're the Mariners and you've never even
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: been to the World Series. Lots of injuries for the 49ers.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Mike Evans is out this weekend. In fact, they're saying
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: right now, because also Debo Samuel's out, they may not
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: have enough players to have 46, 47 on the roster
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: active on Sunday. That's too bad at Atlanta. Back to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: our fiction coming up at 235. All that coming up.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Let's get to Rob Brank standing by talking all things
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: college football.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: As part of our never-ending coverage of the NFL, it's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: time for Ian's weekly visit with Rob Rang from FoxSports.com.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Farrelly's Pizza. On your home for
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the 12th man in the NFL. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: All right, 2 o'clock hour rolling on on a Friday afternoon.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And good to be kind of back in business with
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a normal show here on a Friday. And brought to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you by Farrelly's Pizza, Farrelly'sPizza.com. It's our good friend Rob Rang.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Who joins us? FoxSports.com. Our draft insider here on KJR.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Of course, Scott with the BC Lions as well. He
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: is with us as we get looking forward to the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: college football weekend coming up. Hello, sir. How are you?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I'm doing very well, Ian. How are you today? I'm good.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Big one for your BC Lions tonight, if I'm not mistaken.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: We're actually going to be starting our backups because we
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: have already secured our playoff spot. And so this is
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: the game that you want to win them all, of course.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, we're not going to move
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: up or down in the standings based on the. results
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: of this game. So I'm just looking forward to Halloween
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: when we will be hosting in the opening round of
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: the divisional playoffs.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: For the CFL. Love that stuff. Good job. Congratulations to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you guys. Okay. Let's get to college football. I'm looking
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: for a quarterback matchup this weekend. So let's talk about
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the matchup between Ole Miss and Texas. And I mean,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: on paper, it's a, God, it is. It's a big game.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I'll probably make the argument a bigger game for Texas
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: than it is for Ole Miss, but all eyes will
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: be focused in on the quarterback showdown. Trinidad Chambliss for
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, Arch Manning for Texas. Let's just break this down.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You can start with Trinidad or Arch, whoever you want
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to go with, but this is a heck of a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: game coming up tomorrow.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny, Ian. We're talking football, of course, always.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: But they say in boxing that the great title matches
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: are between a clash of styles and all that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Kind of stuff. And that's the thing.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: You've got a quarterback in Trinidad Chambliss who is likely
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: to measure at six foot or maybe even a quarter
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: inch lower than that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Doesn't have the elite arm.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: You know, went to Ole Miss after playing originally at
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Ferris State where he was a backup there. You know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: even last year in his breakout season, You know, he
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: went there as a backup. And now it's been that
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: kind of Cinderella story. And then, of course, you have
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Arch Manning on the other side, in the other corner.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: That is, you know, as famous of a quarterback as
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: you possibly can be throughout the high school era or
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: high school age. Just because of his famous uncles, Peyton
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: and Eli, and his grandfather, Archie Manning, of course, is
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: who he is named after. And he's had some struggles
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: so far this season. He was the presumptive number one
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: overall pick in the 2027 draft. And now he's losing
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: some opportunities. Texas has a freshman that is actually getting
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: some first team reps in practice now. So it just
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: kind of shows you what kind of guy Steve Sarkeesian is.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Way to stick up for your quarterback there. I just
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: think that this is a fascinating matchup. So Trinidad Chambliss
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: is a guy that now is my current top-rated quarterback
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: just because I think that through all the other stuff
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: out the window, the last name, the arm strength, the size,
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, are you poised when the game is on
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: the line?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: And nobody, in my opinion, has been more poised than
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Trinidad Chambliss.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Nobody has thrown the ball with greater anticipation and accuracy
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: than him. So I really think that he has solidified
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: himself as a first-round caliber quarterback. I still believe in
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Arch Manning, again, maybe more than his current head coach.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: But Arch Manning, there's no doubt about it, that he
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: has struggled. He's got three really horrific interceptions over the
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: last couple of weeks where he's just basically almost punting.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: The ball with his arm, throwing the ball downfield.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: And, again, I still see an awful lot of untapped
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: potential with him, but there is no doubt that he
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: is not the finished product that the last name would
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: lead you to believe.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to go back to that game in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a second. Let me take a step back, just kind
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of a bigger step back. So we're going to talk
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: about Darian Mensah from Miami in a second as well.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But I want to just— This is like the second,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: maybe it's the third, I don't know. I know it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: for sure the second year in a row, Rob, that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: this has happened, where we kind of start the season,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: there's a consensus amongst you and a lot of guys
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: around the country about who the top quarterbacks are, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: then they just kind of disappear or they fade and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: they're no longer in the mix. And, you know, like
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the Cade Club Knicks of the world and guys like
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that that just kind of disappear off the face of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the earth. This year we had what we thought was
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: going to be a really strong quarterback class, Dante Moore.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Now he's hurt. But even before he was hurt, it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: not like Dante Moore was looking fantastic. You have Dante Moore.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Julian San is also hurt now. He's playing well. This
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: isn't a play thing with San, but Julian San is hurt.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: So then his situation comes into play as well. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: quarterback position for this year's class, how much has it
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: changed and evolved over the last couple months?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Well, it has. I think that's an excellent point, Ian.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Astute observation, just because I think that really the pressure
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: gets to folks. These are young college players, of course.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: They're getting paid so much money, and they're recognized everywhere.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: And I think the pressure, not just on the field,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: but off the field, more importantly— just starts to get
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: to them a little bit. And the caliber of defense
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: that they are facing now, I think, is much improved
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: than what we saw years ago. And so I think
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: that you are seeing that some of these quarterbacks who
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: are staying in college a little bit longer to get
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: as many guaranteed dollars as they possibly can and enjoy
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: all the fun living that can be that college lifestyle,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: they're struggling.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Some of their warts are being exposed, so to speak.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: And so I think that's why we're seeing some of
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: these players, whether it be an Archman or whether it
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: be a Cade Klebnik or whoever the case might be,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: that they do struggle later in their college career. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: it feels like everybody is very excited to anoint someone
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: else as, oh, that's the new one. That's the guy. Like,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: you're going to hear an awful lot about Austin Simmons
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: from Missouri. You know, some of my competitors are. in
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: the media business or that are, you know, working for
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: ESPN or the athletic or whatever the case might be.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: CBS sports are.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: All about Austin Simmons, who has just been terrific so
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: far for Missouri. And he's got nine career starts. Like we're,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: we're so quick to, to point out a quarterback that
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: we think has first round tools. And then I think
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: it gets into their head a little bit and it
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: just ruins these 20, 22 year old young men that,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: that maybe don't have the mental, uh, strength just yet
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: that they're, that they have in their, in their arm and.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: In the case of Austin Simmons and their left arm.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: So I do think that for everybody who's talking about,
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: let's say a Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma state, or maybe a
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: CJ car or Notre Dame, or you mentioned him Darian
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Mensah for, for Miami. And they are just kind of
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: casting aside players like Arch Manning or whoever the case
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: might be. I think that the savvy NFL teams are,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: will happily invest a day two or maybe even early
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: day three selection in a quarterback that, you know, just
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: a few months before was being bandied about as a
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: first round pick. You just don't want to throw these
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: guys to the wolves once they get to the NFL. So,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: so frankly, kind of a tip of the cap to
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Clint Kubiak in the Las Vegas Raiders. They of course
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: selected Fernando Mendoza, number one overall, but he hasn't seen
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: a single play during the NFL regular season so far.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Let Kirk Cousins take those lumps and let Fernando Mendoza
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: learn from the Learn from the sideline. To me, that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: the strategy that is always going to be more effective
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: in the NFL.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Do you believe Rob Rank joining us, Kirstie, at Farrelly's?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Do you believe Arch Manning's still a first-round pick?
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I do. 100% believe that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: And I just think that the plays that you see
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: on social media over and over and over again are
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: his mistakes. The plays that you rarely see on social
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: media are the first-round plays. The fourth-down rush that he
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: escapes the pressure is throws an absolute strike to the
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: back of the end zone for a touchdown. I believe
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: it was the last game against Florida. It may have
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: been two weeks ago against Oklahoma, but you don't see
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: those plays shown over and over. It just feels like
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: that's our society now, that people want to kick other people.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: When they're down a little bit.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: But Arch Manning, in terms of arm strength, in terms
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: of his quick release, his athletic ability, that's one of
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: the The article I have at foxsports.com right now is basically,
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: is Arch Main still a first-round player?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And I think that he absolutely is.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: And last year, he ran for 10 touchdowns. This year,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: he's run for zero. I don't know if that's Arch
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: or if that's Steve Sarkeesian's play calling. They're not rolling
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: him out to the right, which again, he had several
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: of his touchdowns last year, including four of the nine
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: touchdowns that he had in the red zone area.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Were on rollouts.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Why they're not rolling him out this year to me
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: is just befuddling. I still understand it. And I think
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the NFL team's, will absolutely take advantage of his.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Very unique skill set.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: I just don't think that he is ready to come
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: in and be the savior, NFL savior, immediately.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: But very few of these quarterbacks are capable of doing that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You can get the happy hour. They've got also game
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: day specials, including the Buffalo Chicken Dip, the Kicken Stuffed Jalapenos,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Kraken Brat in a Hoodie, Hit Sticks, Triple Coverage, and more.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: All those available at forellyspizza.com. Go check out the game
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: day menu, forellyspizza.com. Well, let's talk a little bit about
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Darien Mensah and Miami. They're hosting Pittsburgh at 9 a.m.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: tomorrow on ESPN. Mensah has been spectacular so far for
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the Canes. This seems to be a trend, too, for
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Mario Cristobal, the head coach at Miami. He just goes
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and finds a new quarterback every year, right?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. We saw it with Cam Ward.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: We saw it last year with Carson Beck.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: And now we're seeing it with Darian Mensah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Mensah began his college career at Tulane, then went to Duke,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: where he led the Blue Devils to an ACC title.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: And then now at Miami, he is not only leading
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: the ACC, he's leading all of college football in completion percentage.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: I think he has like 20 touchdown passes so far.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: He's got one interception. So he's another one that everybody
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: is now is very much jumping on his bandwagon. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: gave him a second day grade, I think more second round,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: perhaps even early third round. entering this season in, and
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I am not changing on that grade. I don't see
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: a first round arm. And I think that the, that
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: the Miami does a remarkable job of coaching up their players.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Certainly.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: But also making it a little bit easier on them.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: And there were a couple of plays this past week.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Clemson or excuse me, Miami played Clemson two weeks ago.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: They played Florida state this past week. So definitely a
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: jump up in competition there. with what the Hurricanes have
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: been facing. And there were a couple of throws to
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the perimeter. I feel like we should have our buddy
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Hugh Millen on with us right now. These throws from
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: the opposite hash to the sideline that really show your
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: ability to drive the football. I mean, absolute requirement in
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: today's NFL. And Gary Mintz has struggled with those types
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: of throws. So I don't care about the flashy statistics.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: That's great on the back of a football card or something.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Certainly is going to get you NIL money and all
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. But when it comes to the
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: evaluation of the NFL, I think that Mensah is a
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: good prospect, not an elite first-round counter prospect, despite what
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: some of the other talking heads out there would lead
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: you to believe.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It is our good friend Rob Rang joining us right now.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about a couple other games, or
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: maybe specifically, let's just go Indiana-Michigan for a second. You know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: we have not done this this year, and I was
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: thinking about this last week watching Indiana. They've got a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: couple really good wide receivers. We all hear about Jeremiah
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Smith for Ohio State. What about Indiana and Michigan and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the wide receivers for the Hoosiers you're going to be
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: looking at?
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they've got arguably the best receiving core, or at
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: least the top two receivers in all of college football.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: And there's some good ones out there, but I think
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: that when you look at Indiana– they really are special.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: First off, Charlie Becker is the guy that everybody talks about.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: He's 6'4, he's 200 pounds, and he had some spectacular
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: plays a year ago with Fernando Mendoza throwing him the ball.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: And Mendoza got a lot of the credit, as he should, obviously,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: number one overall selection. But Charlie Becker, he's 6'4, he's
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: 200 pounds, And maybe it's just his skin color. He's
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: a white receiver. And so people kind of, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: don't want to necessarily give those guys enough credit. But
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: he's smooth off the line of scrimmage. And Ian, his
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: ability to play big.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Again, 6'4.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: He's got very long arms. It's almost like a basketball
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: player or a volleyball player with the way he can
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: kind of sky when he needs to.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: He has like these go-go gadget arms.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Just makes him pluck passes that seem to be outside
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: of his range. uh, you know, out of his reach
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: and he just makes it look easy. He just plucks
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: it and there's a touchdown. I mean, there's almost a
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Mike Evans kind of a quality to him that he's
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: not as physical as Mike Evans. I mean, Mike Evans
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: is a different guy, but I just mean that I
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: think that you are going to see Charlie Becker going
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: to wind up being a first round selection. I don't
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: know that he's going to run in the four fours,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: but if he runs four, five, five or, or, or
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: better than to me, that's an absolute lock of a
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: first round selection. just because of the ball skills and
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: the size. I think that his game translates so well
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: to the NFL. So really excited about him. But I
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: think that he's the smoother, more polished of the two.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Nick Marsh is the one that I'm more intrigued by.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: This is his first year in Indiana. His first two seasons,
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: he was at Michigan State. He's 6'3, he's 210 pounds.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: And a lot of it is in his lower half.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: He's got really thick thighs, almost looks like a running back.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: And so the comparison I would use to him would
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: be more like a Chris Godwin for Tampa Bay, 6'1, 210,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: who ran a 4'4, 0, or Brian Thomas Jr., 6'2, 205,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: who's kind of worked himself out of favor in Jacksonville,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: but was dynamic a couple of years ago as a rookie,
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: and certainly was dynamic at LSU. It's Brian Thomas was 6'2, 205,
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: ran a 4.33. That's the type of athletic ability I
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: see with Nick Marsh. His change of direction and quickness
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: for a guy at 6'3, 210 pounds is just fantastic. Now,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: there were some drops early in his Michigan State career.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: He only has one drop so far this season. He's
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: got six touchdowns and has made a couple of just
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: really splashy, cool plays, scoring in a variety of different
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: ways so far this season for the Hoosiers.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I think he is a receiver that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: You're going to hear his name more and more as
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: the draft approaches. I think he's going to be an
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: absolute superstar when it comes to the workout process. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: between Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh, those two wide receivers
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: are as good as it gets in all of college
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: football and a huge reason why Indiana is very much
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: in the running. Go right back to the playoffs and
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: perhaps they can run another national championship.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Rob, do the Seahawks have an Abe Lucas problem?
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I think that they do.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Abe Lucas, I think he's a solid player, but I
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: don't know that he is.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: The type of player that you can be reliant upon
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: for the next couple of years. Seattle, of course, extended
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: him a few years back. And again, he's a relatively
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: young player. I think he's 29 years old, if I'm
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: not mistaken. But he plays like he's 35. And we've
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: all heard about the knee issues that he had had.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Some people had said that it might be degenerative and
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: things like that. I think that he looks a little
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: bit heavier, not necessarily heavier, like eating too much, you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: eating too much or anything. I just think it's more
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: about the, that he's almost too big and strong at
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: this point, but he's lost a little bit of the mobility.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: In my opinion, he's got that initial quickness, but I,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: he's giving up four sacks so far this season. And
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: a couple of them have come when he's had a
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: tight end to his right. And when that tight end releases, uh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: then Abe's not able to get his hands on the
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: pass rusher immediately. And so he's being forced to kind
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: of play in space and redirect, and that is not
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: his game, at least not at this point in his career.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: And so I do think that that's a bit of
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: an issue.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Now, hopefully, from a Seattle perspective, that improves what they
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: had Anthony Bradford back. I think that he has had
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: to try to protect the edge and could use a
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: little bit of help. And the right guard rotation at
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Seattle is how a Christian Haynes and both Stevens, I
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: think is, has been a little bit problematic for both
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Abe Lucas at right tackle, as well as Jalen Sundell
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: on the left at the center position. So I do
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: think the Anthony Bradford is going to help that, but,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: To your point, Ian, I think that Abe Lucas is
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: a good player, but I think that he is not
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: necessarily the difference maker that Seattle might need if they're
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: going to continue to focus on running the ball as
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: often as they are, and if they have a quarterback
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: who right now is not playing very well. So I
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: do think that as we move forward throughout this entire
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: draft process, we've got to start paying attention to some
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: of these offensive tackles that are out there, because I
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: think that Seattle might be prioritizing the right tackle position
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: in the 2027 draft.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about one of those guys, Houston at Utah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: That game, you got an eye on a guy that
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: plays for the Utes, right?
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Well, it's kind of crazy because last year, Utah had
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: two off the tackles. Their left and right tackles, Spencer
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Fano and Caleb Lomu, who were both first-round selections.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: And so they've got this guy.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Zeroway Williams, who is number 76, and this is his
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: first time as a starter. He's actually a graduate playing
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: for Utah. He's waited, bided his time in this day
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: and age of a player just waiting until their final
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: season of eligibility to finally get onto the field. And
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: sometimes you see a guy and you just kind of
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: chuckle to yourself like, oh, my goodness, look at this guy.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: They just should not be this athletic at 6'8. 305 pounds,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: never a star at the college level, and now he's
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: playing that blindside pass protector role, left tackle, and he's
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: doing it just in spectacular fashion.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's toying with people.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: The guy's this big, shouldn't be able to move the
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: way that he does. Now, he's pretty raw as a
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: first-year starter, but again, his initial quickness, that change of
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: direction that we talked about that Abe Lucas is struggling with,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I think that Zero Way Williams, again, number 76 for Utah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: is very much a player that we are going to
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: be talking about a lot as the process unfolds here.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: So he plays left tackle, and I think that he
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: can stay at left tackle. But I also think that
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: if he is somehow available when Seattle is on the
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: board later in the first round, presumably, then I think
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: that he is going to be somebody that is going
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: to absolutely scream Seahawk, certainly for the way that John
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Schneider has drafted in the past and the way priorities
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: that John Benton has always placed on size and mobility.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Great stuff as always, Rob. Rob Rang, of course, FoxSports.com.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: He's our draft insider here on KJR and a BC
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Lions scout. Go Lions tonight, even though you're playing your
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: backups because you guys have already just been dominating and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: get that game next week. So good luck to that
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: as well. That's our guy, Rob Rang. Thank you, my friend.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next week.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Aaron. Take care.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: That is Rob Rang. We'll take a break. We've got
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: our final factor fiction pick this week coming up next,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KJR FM. Are we about to see the biggest
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: form of nepotism or nephew-tism in this case? Is Peyton
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: going to take the Indianapolis job and then draft his nephew? See? Nephew-tism.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Not if he wants to win. Not if his goal
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: is to win there. I don't think so.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Next.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ian and Mariner fans. Jason Kanzler here. If you
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: don't know who I am, neither does anybody else, but.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I'm in consideration and probably the leading candidate for the Mariners'
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: managerial position. Gerald DePoto promised me a brand-new iPad and
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: three different emails.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: He can contact me during the game to tell me
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: what to do.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: I'm going to listen to everything and probably play a
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: bunch of Rainiers players and really move that goalpost, augment,
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: and do anything he says.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Go M's. Augment.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a dream come true.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Text 49451. I would like to apologize to Bucci, Cassie Campbell,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the whole ESPN crew on behalf of the Russian gentlemen,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Berkley Caton, Riker Stevenson-Evans, and the Kraken organization for beating
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: your favorite team in NHL history. Thanks, KGR, for the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Kraken tickets on Tuesday. Go Kraken.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Apparently it was bad last night. I was at the game.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't listen to it. But somehow the German gentleman,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Philip Grubauer, been in the league for over a decade,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: They refer to him as the Russian goalie a number
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: of times.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I didn't have the audio on. I just had the
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: game on silent.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Krubauer plays for the Russian Olympic team. Won a Stanley Cup,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: but he's the Russian gentleman. Number 27 is now Berkley Caton.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Ah, Berkley Caton. One of my favorites of all the Cates.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Riker Stevenson.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: What?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess Bucci didn't have a great game. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: hesitate with that because I've got to do the game tomorrow,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure there's a few. You know what, though?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Just prep. Just do your prep.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Just do your prep.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: You can't get that many things wrong.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: That's bad. And the thing with Bucci and Cassie, that's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: all they do is hockey. They're not doing football and
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: basketball and baseball and college football. That's all you do
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: is hockey. You should know those things. That's bad.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: That's bad.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: What have you. Yeah, I heard people were losing their
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: mind last time. Like, what's going on with this?
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Like, how bad?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I guess it was just a big old Utah mammoth
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: love fest.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Well, everyone loves the expansion mammoth. Oh, wait, they weren't
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: an expansion team.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's right.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: That's right. They actually just left. They're just Oklahoma City
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: in hockey uniforms.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: That's a good way to describe them.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, after you tank and just turn
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: off the fan base, you leave and then you hit
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: a switch in a new market and are good. Weird. Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: With a bunch of high draft picks. There you go.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: The running back usage plan says Quinn has been so
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: freaking weird this year. I get not re-signing Walker.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Fine.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I lean towards trusting, and they obviously know more than
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: us outside the building, but what the heck are we doing, man?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Give the kid Henry the rock. See what he can do.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Get yards. Geesh. A lot of people are... I'm just
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: going to say this. The common theme on the text line, 49451,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to come to our text line today from all of you,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: the common theme is people are not happy.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Let Henry cook.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Finally 206 Ian for the record we listeners think Ashley
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: is pretty too I'm just in a noisy place to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: voice text that in I don't know if you heard
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the text earlier I did not that somebody texted in
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a voice text and you guys kind of look at
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: it through like a like a transcribing so you don't
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: have to go through and listen to every one of
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: them it just transcribes what.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: It said right yeah so there's no swear words in
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: there right and then I listened to every one before
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: I put it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: On apparently Jess played one that said oh and Jess
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you're very pretty or something like that it was a
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: very nice compliment it wasn't done in a creepy way
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: it was very nice right And so Greg and I
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: were talking. Greg brought that up. Jess didn't like that,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: but we made her play it again. That's very nice.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And Ashley's pretty too.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: And she is.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: She's very attractive.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And Jess is pretty too.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: And you're pretty too.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Only when I put makeup on.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: You know what? Me too.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow night at 7, I'll look pretty. Until then, not
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: so much. All right, let's get to it. Fact or Fiction.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000

  Speaker 1: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: day feels lucky.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM. You
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: know who I can all agree is not pretty?
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: Who?
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: He'll be in here in a few minutes. Oh, yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: By the way, Keith did send in a text.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: If tomorrow's tomorrow is two days from now, then yesterday's
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: tomorrow is today, making tomorrow's yesterday today as well, which
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: means tomorrow is simply tomorrow.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend. Was Keith hanging out with Anthony
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Richardson and eating those 500 milligram THC gummies?
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: I think what he just really was hoping is that
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: you would have to read it and then we'd all
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: get to enjoy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: You saying tomorrow. Not going to happen, Keith.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have skipped that one, Keith. I just
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: wanted you to know I applauded your efforts.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I would have 100% skipped that one.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Factor Fiction brought to you by the Lucky Eagle Casino
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and Resorts. Every day feels lucky. They're giving away a
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 grand prize at the end of 14 weeks. We're
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: in week seven, I do believe.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Yes, we are.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: We're halfway to the midway point of the year. Every week, though,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: we give away $ 1, 000. All it takes is one correct answer.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Agreeing or disagreeing by texting FACTORFICTION to 49451, and you're
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: automatically entered to win. Last week's winner disagreed with Jessamyn.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Texted in FICTION. Probably a smart move.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Has there been anyone that's won yet on a correct pick?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think everyone that's won so
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: far has been fiction.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I think you're right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I think it has been. We're $ 6, 000 winners in, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I think they've all been fiction picks. That's a very
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: good point, Ash. I hadn't thought of that, but I
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: think you're right. All right, here we go. This is
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: sort of a hometown pick.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: And it's a different kind of hometown.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: All I'm doing is hedging in a weird, very strange,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: beehive state kind of way. Remember earlier this week I
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: took BYU minus six and a half?
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I do remember that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I just get equal. Listen, equal time. Utah. Utah
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: at home minus six and a half. I love that
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: all day, every day. Taking on Houston. A couple of
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: ranked teams. Big 12. Big 12 showdown, Ashley. Utah minus
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: six and a half.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Fact.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Four, nine, four, five, one. And here's why. Game day
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: is going to be there.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. That's a big deal.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: They will be pumped up. And Utah does the Utah students.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: As long as mom and dad aren't watching, they do
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: have some fun. They're not like BYU. They get after
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: it a little bit. It'll be five in the morning.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, they do. They actually, one of my favorite places
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: to tailgate was there.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: They were so nice. The parties were awesome. And the stadiums.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that the stadium is probably one of
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the most loud stadiums in the country. It's got the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: best student section in the country. I think bar none.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: they are having a pretty good season under Morgan Scali,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: their new head coach, their old head coach, by the way.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I looked at his game. I thought about that for
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: a second because Indiana's going to kick their ass. I said, no,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'm going to go with the Utes.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: And I was a Ute guy. When I was there,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I leaned Ute. I leaned Ute for those six years.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I hear you.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Mostly because I went to the same bar all the
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: coaches went to. We were all on the same plan.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's fun.
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: But I love those guys. I love the Utes. Utes
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: minus 6.5 against Houston. Fact, 4-9, 4-5-1. If you disagree, fiction, 4-9, 4-5-1.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Houston 6-1, by the way. Utah is 6-0. And I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: going to tell you right now, this is probably a
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: borderline elimination game. Certainly for Houston, it's an elimination game.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: For Utah, as far as college football playoffs, maybe they
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: can afford this loss as long as they beat BYU later.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Because BYU's win is going to look really, really good.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: They play BYU on November 7th. They could probably afford
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a loss, but I don't think they want to mess
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: with that at all. Because they've got Houston, then they
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: play Cincinnati. Arizona's a really tough game for them. They'll
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: win the final two, TCU and West Virginia. So, big
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: win for them. Utah. And I love the fact College
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Game Day is going to go there. I think that's
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: going to help them immensely as well. So all that's
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: coming up. By the way, I said Softee's coming. He's
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: not coming in here. We're doing Booze News.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not allowed in.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: We're doing Booze News, right?
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Booze News coming up next.
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: I'm Ashley and this is the booze news.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Cheers to the actual weekend.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Cheers.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: Cheers.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Tito's.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: Tito's booze news is sponsored by Tito's handmade vodka. Proud

• 30:27
  Speaker 7: because we've had a lot of conversations about Including with
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: Jaron Reed about how many false starts have been held
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: at Lumen Field.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we brought that up earlier.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: So just for those who missed it, six.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Six this year.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Six this year. One against New England, four against the Chargers,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: one against the Niners.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: He didn't remember any of them.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: He's just out there trying to do work.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: He's just focused. Just grinding.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Just grinding.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's make it about 8 or 9 by
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the end of the weekend.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I love that plan.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: By like 8.30 on Sunday.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I love that plan.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: By the way, Jackson, thanks for doing this. Yeah, Sati
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: totally didn't need me at all out there.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: No.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: You got paid off.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you got your beer.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I did get beer.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: There are some odd stories coming out of the NBA lately,
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: so I thought, you know, we've been talking a little
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: NBA this week.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Let's focus on these.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Let's get the odd stories out.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, two Knicks fans welcomed a baby boy back in August,
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: and they were clearly inspired by the Knicks championship run
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: when they chose a name.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Of course, remember, the Knicks beat the Spurs in five games.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: The kid's name? Nixon 5.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Not making it up.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Stop it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I need more Tito's.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right?
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: That is probably the best story surrounding the Knicks because
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: this one makes them sound terrible.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know this one. I'm glad you're bringing this up.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: This is just mean.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Let me just stop right here. If you think you
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: work for a really bad company or a bad boss.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: You know what? The Knicks employees, they just said, hold
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: my Tito's.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they did. They were like, here.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: So Madison Square employees got their hopes up at the
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: end of September because the Knicks sent an email to
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: a long list of employees that gave them a first
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: glimpse at their would-be championship rings. At the top of
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: the email was a graphic of two differently styled rings.
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: It said, congratulations, your employee championship ring is here. This
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: is what the email said. Then it said their name.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: It said, this one is on the house. MSG is
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: issuing a complimentary employee championship ring. The same jeweler, the
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: same craftsmanship, personalized with your name, no cost to you.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: This sounds right, right? Like this is what any team
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: should do for their employees.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I'll point out that the Seahawk employees, non-football staff, just
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: got their rings.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Right, so it's not out of the ordinary that this
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: would be happening. This is what you should be doing.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: It said, there are two designs to choose from, Championship
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Gold and Garden Classic.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Reserve the one you want below. The email was fake.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: It was a phishing test.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Madison Square Garden sent it to their employees to see
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: if they would click, and those who did click the
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: link at the bottom of the message did not get
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: to choose any jewelry. They were forced to attend a
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: mandatory cybersecurity class to help satisfy some of Dolan's growing
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: cybersecurity concerns.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: How terrible is that?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: That's worse than, and Jackson, you can get from this,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: that's worse than the ones we get from iHeart Cybersecurity.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's terrible.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: They're terrible. Like, they're terrible. But they're very obvious.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: This, I would click on it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Well, because employees of championship teams at the professional level, Jackson,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: do you know the Sounders? Did they do that for
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: their players? Yeah, I got a couple.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: It's a wonderful ring. And I tell you what, New
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: York Knicks, screw you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Is James Dolan the worst human being in sports?
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Sure sounds like it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Tom Dundon says hold my Tito's.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Well, that's true. They better all get rings now because
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: that is bad. And it makes them look terrible that.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: That news got out. So greasy.
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: Okay, so this is booze news.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: So it seems appropriate to share this one.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: The Boston Celtics have a new beer option or at
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: least a new beer vessel option.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: It's a classic sneaker. That's right. It looks kind of
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: like a Converse high top. It's clear. It has green shoelaces.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: A Celtics logo, and it is filled with beer.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I'm in.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too. Sign me up.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Do you have to drink Sam Adams?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Hold my Tito's while I grab this beer and double fist.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Do you have to drink Sam Adams, though?
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go down that road. Jackson's nodding
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: his head. He's my beer guy.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: No, if he understands.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: No, if he understands. I mean, that's hopefully not. I
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: just gave myself something else. Yeah, okay.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: And we'll wrap up with some live golf news.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, is there?
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly. So the angry elf Tyrell Hatton announced
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: he's going to not.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Be a part of Live 2.0. Ian Poulter made the
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: same announcement. Brandon Grace, Lucas Herbert, Moore, Sergio Garcia is
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: on that list. We already talked about Jon Rahm. So
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: according to Polymarket, there is now a 41 yards, 41%
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: chance the league will shut down this year.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: It's a bummer. Can't find it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: 41 yards.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's the top row.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's 41 something.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Should I try it again?
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: According to Polymarket, there's now a.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Hang on.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, wait.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Yes? Hang on.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: 41 yards. There we go. 41 yard percent chance that
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: the league will shut down.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: There we go. That's fantastic. I think it's even more
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: than that since nobody's left. Can I give a shout
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: out to our friends at Georgetown real quick?
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Please do.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they stopped by today. Our guy Matt Connolly
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: stopped by today. It's booze news. He brought treats for
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: our staff out there. Top of the list. My guy
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Jackson Feltz over there. He's got himself some fresh from
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: the brewery Bodhi Zafa. That's Sunday for me. That is
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Sunday period. Are you just ready to rock it? Jackson
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: has very similar beer taste to me, so I... But
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: just make it simple. You get a Bodie, and you're
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: going to be happy. Dick Fane is also a beer guy.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: He likes the Pilsner or the Lagers. We got him
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: some Tavern beer.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Tavern beer is always popular.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: You can't go wrong. Your husband has himself some Johnny's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Pale Ale.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, God, Johnny Utah, my favorite. That's actually now how
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: I start every golf round. I have a Johnny Utah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Well, now you got some Johnny Utah.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get home. I'm not going to try
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: this until I get home, and this will probably be
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: if things are going south on Sunday. The Super Lucy
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: West Coast Double IPA. It's like Lucille, but super. Flavors
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: and aromas of ripened navel, orange zest, spring spruce, and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: the Pacific Northwest Simcoe, mosaic, citric, Columbus, comet, hops. Very
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: kind of West Coast-y. Yeah. But if you like Lucille,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I think it tastes better than Lucille. 8.1% ABV.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Happy Sunday to you.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: The second I see George Helani go backwards... There is
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: a pint of Super Lucy coming my way.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. It's funny because it's true.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: It's so damn true. It's sad. But then I'll probably
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: go back to the Junior Zoffa IPA, which is ABV 5.4%.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: They're all available at the taproom down there. And they
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: would like us to point out, you go stop by
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: their growler fills of manis during the entire football season.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Two growler fills, $ 12. What? Two growler fills.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: That's like free beer.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: And I say growler fills. You don't have to bring
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: your own growler. They have them there. You say, I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: want two growlers of manis. It's football season. Two of
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: them for $ 12. Wow.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: That's like free beer.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: It's like a two-for-one special. Yeah. So, I mean, you've
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: got about almost four pints in one of those things. So,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: you think, do the math. It's the best deal. If
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: you like mayonnaise, it's the best deal in town during
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: football season. Last year, as Matt pointed out, they did
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: that all the way through February. Let's hope they do
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: that this year.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Let's hope they do. During February, until at least President's Weekend.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: And if you like Junior's Off, it's only available until mid-November.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: And then they're going to go full-time in cans, Super Lucy,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: which I can't wait for. So there you go. But
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: big thanks to our friends at Georgetown. Big thanks to
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: our friends. Tito's, love you guys. Thank you so much.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Great job on Booze News. Jackson, thanks. There's a guy
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: out there yelling for you right now.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Jackson!
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: See, this is the perfect opportunity to ignore him with
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: an excuse.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just here to help you.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: And enjoy the Bodie this week. That's Sunday for me.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: You've got a Sounders game tomorrow, though, right?
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: When is it?
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: 7 o'clock pregame, 7.30 kickoff, Sounders at San Diego on
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: 9.50 KJR AM.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: It's tomorrow.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: And it's a big one. They need to start.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Having draws against bad teams is not good, so... Good
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: luck on that, Jackson. Enjoy the weekend. Ashley, great job.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: We'll see you guys Monday.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: Bye.
