- 1:12Speaker 1: three k j RFM. Welcome to the radio program as
- 1:16Speaker 1: we get you ready for your weekend. And I would
- 1:20Speaker 1: just say this, I don't normally say this. I would
- 1:22Speaker 1: be a little careful out there on the roads. There
- 1:25Speaker 1: are rains coming down hard, and there are you know,
- 1:28Speaker 1: they always talk about black ice. You gotta separate those,
- 1:31Speaker 1: because then it sounds like you're saying, be careful of
- 1:33Speaker 1: black guys on the road. Black ice, you know, during
- 1:39Speaker 1: the winter. But there's like black puddles out there, right,
- 1:42Speaker 1: And if you go around a semi because you can't
- 1:45Speaker 1: see because he's spraying you with water, you don't know
- 1:48Speaker 1: if you're going into one of those black puddles. So
- 1:52Speaker 1: I would It took me a little longer to get
- 1:54Speaker 1: here because of having to dodge and navigate through all
- 1:57Speaker 1: of that. So it's a little dangerous out there.
- 1:59Speaker 5: And it's not even just on the freeway, by the way,
- 2:01Speaker 5: because my whole car got covered in water from on mercer,
- 2:07Speaker 5: like a car went through a black puddle in an.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Intersection and just spread. I was like, I can't see
- 2:12Speaker 3: a thing.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I can't see a thing.
- 2:13Speaker 3: A thing. It's like I was driving underwater.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Ashley with her brand new Mazda Submarine.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's a it's anything. That's one thing I
- 2:23Speaker 5: haven't told people because.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I don't want everyone to be jealous, right right, right, Well,
- 2:27Speaker 1: well they didn't probably don't even show you on the
- 2:29Speaker 1: test drive that capability.
- 2:30Speaker 3: You find out after you made yeah.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, by the way, if you press this button fully,
- 2:37Speaker 1: sub you can go to Widby.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to wait in the ferry line.
- 2:41Speaker 4: That's cool.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That would be cool. What are we waiting for? Technology?
- 2:45Speaker 3: I want these flying cars. Give me a give me
- 2:47Speaker 3: a boat.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Come on, technology. Gosh, it's like you've been sitting on
- 2:51Speaker 1: your hands.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Uh. Anyway, a little bit dangerous out there on the road,
- 2:55Speaker 1: so do be careful. Don't get so distracted by being
- 2:59Speaker 1: entertained your favorite Sparts talk radio show that you don't
- 3:02Speaker 1: see the black puddles all over the roadways. But we
- 3:06Speaker 1: made it in. I wasn't sure Ashley was going to
- 3:08Speaker 1: make it in on time. I told Buckets, I don't
- 3:10Speaker 1: know if he's gonna make it in on time.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know if I was going to either.
- 3:13Speaker 5: It was and in the like everybody on the freeway
- 3:16Speaker 5: was going real slow at least, thank goodness.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But as I said then, I was.
- 3:21Speaker 5: Like, oh, especially because I come the express lanes. Well,
- 3:24Speaker 5: there's a fun little thing that happens when you're on
- 3:26Speaker 5: the express lanes and you go under the rest of
- 3:28Speaker 5: I five, all their water it's down onto the express lanes.
- 3:33Speaker 3: That's super fun.
- 3:34Speaker 1: It's called a waterfall. Yeah, some people drive from miles
- 3:38Speaker 1: around to see those things. Yeah, Bunky's got one right
- 3:40Speaker 1: around the corner.
- 3:41Speaker 3: From the show. You're lucky.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, beautiful, beautiful stuff. You just don't want it
- 3:45Speaker 1: while you're driving. No, all right, well, welcome into the show.
- 3:49Speaker 1: We got a lot to discuss today. It is a
- 3:51Speaker 1: football Friday. It is sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka, proud
- 3:56Speaker 1: sponsor of the Seahawks, distilled and bottled by Fifth Generation Inc. Allton, Texas,
- 4:00Speaker 1: forty percent alcohol by volume, Saber Responsibly. And we do
- 4:05Speaker 1: have a lot of football to discuss today, and we've
- 4:08Speaker 1: got a lot of smart people to discuss it with us.
- 4:11Speaker 1: So I can promise you over our course of our
- 4:13Speaker 1: four hours, we got you a Seahawks RAMS preview. We
- 4:17Speaker 1: got that down on lock. But we're going to start
- 4:20Speaker 1: with baseball today because we were dealt the disappointing news
- 4:24Speaker 1: last night that the nation didn't recognize what we knew,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and that is that Kyle Raley is the most valuable player,
- 4:31Speaker 1: or was the most valuable player this year in the
- 4:34Speaker 1: American League. And it was close. He got forty three
- 4:38Speaker 1: I think I said thirty nine, forty three percent of
- 4:41Speaker 1: the first place votes, but that wasn't enough. He and
- 4:46Speaker 1: Judge got either first or second on all thirty ballots.
- 4:50Speaker 1: But Aaron Judge does, in fact win the American League
- 4:53Speaker 1: MVP in twenty twenty five.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Yeah, they got that wrong.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I think they got it wrong too. I mean, I
- 5:00Speaker 1: mean I said this at the beginning of the playoffs,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and it sounds like an odd thing to say, but
- 5:05Speaker 1: I said, when Dan Wilson was trying to make his
- 5:08Speaker 1: decision on who he's going to start number one starter,
- 5:11Speaker 1: I like, there's not a bad decision, but there is
- 5:13Speaker 1: a wrong decision. And I know that sounds weird, but
- 5:16Speaker 1: now I get to use it again. I don't think
- 5:18Speaker 1: there was a bad decision to make between Judge and Raleigh,
- 5:22Speaker 1: but I think there is a distinct wrong decision to make,
- 5:25Speaker 1: and seventeen people out of thirty made the wrong decision.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Yeah, it's unfortunate. I mean that really.
- 5:31Speaker 6: I mean it's like three people had a better idea.
- 5:35Speaker 6: I mean, I'm with you. It's not wrong decision. I mean,
- 5:37Speaker 6: it's not like Aaron Judge didn't isn't deserving of an MVP.
- 5:41Speaker 6: It's just when you're measuring the two I don't think
- 5:43Speaker 6: it's I don't think it's particularly close. We did discuss that,
- 5:48Speaker 6: and it just as Cal rowly what he did. I mean,
- 5:50Speaker 6: Aaron Judge even said in his acceptance actually as before
- 5:53Speaker 6: they announced it, they were asking him what's it like
- 5:56Speaker 6: to be the captain and all the pressure of playing,
- 6:00Speaker 6: you know, in New York and wearing the pinstripes. And
- 6:02Speaker 6: he's like, yeah, there's a lot, you know, but it's
- 6:05Speaker 6: what I.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Want to do. I like. I like the limelight.
- 6:08Speaker 6: I like thee When I was a free agent, I
- 6:11Speaker 6: wanted to come back and play here. It's and then
- 6:15Speaker 6: he goes, it's not like what Cal does you know?
- 6:19Speaker 6: Catching all that and the abuse that he takes, and
- 6:21Speaker 6: I mean even he basically kind of says, yeah, I
- 6:24Speaker 6: don't do near as much as that guy does. Now
- 6:27Speaker 6: obviously he's not going to turn it in or say, hey, Cal,
- 6:29Speaker 6: you deserve this. I mean, I know I had a
- 6:31Speaker 6: way better offensive season than you, but you did, you
- 6:34Speaker 6: did way more. But to me, that's where I don't
- 6:37Speaker 6: know if somewhere in the translation the most valuable is
- 6:41Speaker 6: is different than the most outstanding, or how if there's
- 6:44Speaker 6: more weight put into the overarching offensive, you know, prowess
- 6:49Speaker 6: that goes into it, and not enough rewarded or awarded
- 6:53Speaker 6: to the defensive acumen that somebody brings to the table.
- 6:57Speaker 6: But yeah, I think they got it wrong. I mean,
- 7:00Speaker 6: it's a bummer because Aaron Judge is a generational hitter,
- 7:03Speaker 6: without a doubt him, He's a generational player. He's pretty
- 7:05Speaker 6: damn good in the outfield too. Really, he was most
- 7:09Speaker 6: certainly before he started getting hurt a couple for the
- 7:12Speaker 6: last couple of years. But I mean, he's a generational player.
- 7:16Speaker 6: And this is Cal's career year. I mean, I don't
- 7:19Speaker 6: expect him to go out and hit sixty. I expect
- 7:21Speaker 6: him probably maybe forty might be the ceiling or the
- 7:24Speaker 6: floor of what his career home run numbers are going
- 7:27Speaker 6: to be.
- 7:27Speaker 4: But he's not ever going.
- 7:28Speaker 6: To hit three forty and hit sixty home runs and
- 7:32Speaker 6: be up there probably in this where is Aaron Judge?
- 7:34Speaker 6: This is probably who we're going to see for the
- 7:36Speaker 6: you know, the foreseeable futures. Is a dude that just
- 7:40Speaker 6: hits over three hundred and hits fifty plus homers and
- 7:42Speaker 6: probably is an MVP candidate every year.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I don't but I don't want Cal to win it.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Because of that, I don't want I mean, it was
- 7:48Speaker 1: it's the old Michael Jordan debate, like, oh boy, Michael's
- 7:52Speaker 1: probably gonna win it next year, So Charles isn't going
- 7:54Speaker 1: to have a better season than this, Let's give it
- 7:56Speaker 1: to Barkley. I don't want Cal to win it that way.
- 7:59Speaker 1: I don't want like special consideration to be given to
- 8:03Speaker 1: cal because he might not have another career year like this,
- 8:07Speaker 1: but Judge probably will. But just standing on its merits alone,
- 8:11Speaker 1: I mean every I mean it was, it was a
- 8:16Speaker 1: razor close evaluation from most people. And I think that
- 8:23Speaker 1: certainly the vote came down that way. And I do
- 8:27Speaker 1: think and this is something that you and I have
- 8:30Speaker 1: disagreed upon. I do think that everybody who vote for
- 8:34Speaker 1: that voted for this, even the ones that voted for Judge,
- 8:37Speaker 1: recognize how much more is on cal Raley's plate. It's
- 8:42Speaker 1: just how much value do you give that? Ye does
- 8:45Speaker 1: it make up for the gap and the overall offensive
- 8:50Speaker 1: numbers that Judge put up versus Cal. I mean we're
- 8:53Speaker 1: talking about two hundred ops points. I mean, that's the
- 8:57Speaker 1: difference between you know, Julio and Miles Master Bony. Okay,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I mean that's what we're talking about here, like two
- 9:08Speaker 1: hundred w excuse me, an ops plus of like sixty
- 9:13Speaker 1: points difference. I mean it was a sizeable gap. Offensively,
- 9:18Speaker 1: the three of us and thirteen out of thirty voters,
- 9:21Speaker 1: and god knows how many other people, not just in
- 9:24Speaker 1: Seattle but nationwide think that what Cal brought to the
- 9:28Speaker 1: table does not only bridge that gap, but overtakes that gap.
- 9:33Speaker 1: And part of that is because Judge spent so much
- 9:36Speaker 1: time just hitting this year. Cal would have won head
- 9:40Speaker 1: to head against show Hey this year if it would
- 9:43Speaker 1: have been Cal versus show Hey, Cal would have won
- 9:45Speaker 1: the MVP and show A won unanimously. On the national
- 9:49Speaker 1: league side, because the gap between show A's numbers and
- 9:52Speaker 1: Cows weren't nearly as great as what the gap between
- 9:57Speaker 1: Judges numbers were and Cow's. So yes, I think they
- 10:01Speaker 1: missed it. I think that Cal and everything actually that
- 10:04Speaker 1: he does bring to the table does make up for
- 10:07Speaker 1: that difference. But there were enough people that voted, and
- 10:12Speaker 1: it wasn't East Coast bias because apparently the East Coast
- 10:15Speaker 1: was the only place, but there wasn't bias.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and seven votes for each guy.
- 10:20Speaker 1: But there were enough people who cover this sport for
- 10:23Speaker 1: a living. That decided we think that the offensive gap
- 10:27Speaker 1: is more impressive than the defensive gap and the intangibles gap.
- 10:32Speaker 1: And so that's what it came down to. And I
- 10:34Speaker 1: don't think it's right, but I at least can buy
- 10:38Speaker 1: that Aaron Judge had an MVP season this year.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think you know, we have all agreed
- 10:43Speaker 5: that they're both excellent candidates. Nothing should be taking away
- 10:47Speaker 5: from Aaron Judge. The interesting thing though, is when you
- 10:50Speaker 5: think about, like, well, okay, so what is the MVP.
- 10:52Speaker 5: What is it supposed to be? Right, it's your most
- 10:54Speaker 5: valuable player? Now is that your most valuable player to
- 10:56Speaker 5: their team? Because Cal was the most valuable player to.
- 10:59Speaker 3: His team, Well so it was Judge.
- 11:01Speaker 5: No, but yes, But I'm saying I think that Cal
- 11:03Speaker 5: was more valuable to the Mariners than Judge was to
- 11:05Speaker 5: the Yankees for everything that he does top to bottom.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Now you could look at it.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Who was the most valuable person to the league, who
- 11:13Speaker 5: had the stories being written about them every single day
- 11:18Speaker 5: because they were breaking records week after week.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Cal Rawley.
- 11:22Speaker 5: So I would say in both those situations, he was
- 11:25Speaker 5: the more valuable player.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think it is supposed to be
- 11:29Speaker 1: who's the most valuable player to your team. I think
- 11:33Speaker 1: that that is the decision that they are trying to make.
- 11:36Speaker 1: There was just you know, there were just more people
- 11:39Speaker 1: out of thirty that voted that Aaron Judge was more
- 11:43Speaker 1: valuable to the Yankees than what Cal Rawley was to
- 11:46Speaker 1: the Mariners.
- 11:47Speaker 3: We disagree with it, Yeah, that's the part I can't
- 11:48Speaker 3: figure out.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And maybe we would feel differently if we watched Judge
- 11:52Speaker 1: play every day and followed up. I mean, one of
- 11:55Speaker 1: the things that Sean Casey had said when he was
- 11:58Speaker 1: interviewing Aaron Judge was or evaluating Aaron Judge like, people
- 12:04Speaker 1: don't understand what a great human being this guy is,
- 12:06Speaker 1: And I'm like, no better than our guy.
- 12:08Speaker 5: Yeah right, and it better than a humanitarian award either.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah true. But I mean, but also on
- 12:17Speaker 1: the flipside, we pour into so much about how how Cal,
- 12:21Speaker 1: what a leader he is, what a captain he is,
- 12:23Speaker 1: and all a Judge fulfills that exact same role and
- 12:26Speaker 1: does it with just as much dignity and just as
- 12:29Speaker 1: much class as what Cal does. Absolutely, so, I mean,
- 12:32Speaker 1: it was just two phenomenal candidates, and I really do
- 12:34Speaker 1: think that if it was Cal versus Show, Hey, Cal
- 12:37Speaker 1: would be Cal would have walked away with the award. Unfortunately,
- 12:42Speaker 1: Judges numbers offensively across the board. I mean, he hit
- 12:46Speaker 1: three thirty. Guys aren't even hitting three hundred. Now, that's
- 12:49Speaker 1: three thirty while getting pitched around more than any batter
- 12:53Speaker 1: in all of Major League Baseball. So there's no doubt
- 12:56Speaker 1: Aaron Judge had an MVP season, But so did Cal.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Only one gets to win it, and unfortunately, I think
- 13:01Speaker 1: they got it wrong.
- 13:02Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they got it wrong too.
- 13:05Speaker 6: I mean it's the I get the idea that how well,
- 13:09Speaker 6: it's not the idea the fact that Judges numbers offensively
- 13:13Speaker 6: were just supreme. They were They were head and shoulders
- 13:16Speaker 6: above Col's. And that's crazy because Cow hit sixty homers. No,
- 13:19Speaker 6: but again, it's not like he hit twenty eight homers
- 13:22Speaker 6: and hit three forty and.
- 13:24Speaker 1: You know, more home runs and RBI.
- 13:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's but I mean it's he didn't.
- 13:29Speaker 6: It wasn't by a ton, and yet the batting average
- 13:31Speaker 6: and on base percentage and walks and all of the
- 13:34Speaker 6: stuff that equate to that ops being substantially bigger. Yeah,
- 13:40Speaker 6: Judge was without a doubt better offensively, and yet it
- 13:43Speaker 6: to me, it it just shows that, Yeah, well the people,
- 13:47Speaker 6: the thirty people, and I don't understand how it's just thirty.
- 13:50Speaker 1: People the one it's one per market.
- 13:52Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just saying I don't ever want anything of
- 13:55Speaker 6: substance being decided by thirty people. And so of the
- 13:59Speaker 6: thirty people, you know, they all agreed that it's definitely
- 14:02Speaker 6: was between Judge and cal There was no discrepancy on that,
- 14:06Speaker 6: so they weren't far off. It's just that, basically, I
- 14:09Speaker 6: think seventeen of them don't understand the difference between defensively.
- 14:15Speaker 6: They don't put the same amount of weight on that
- 14:18Speaker 6: versus the two hundred points in ops. I of course
- 14:22Speaker 6: that they recognize, Wow, catching is far dough tougher than
- 14:26Speaker 6: playing right field and dhing some right, they obviously understand it,
- 14:31Speaker 6: and they weigh that. I just don't think they put
- 14:33Speaker 6: enough weight into it. That's why I think it's wrong.
- 14:35Speaker 6: That's why I've been saying the whole time. I don't
- 14:37Speaker 6: think it should be particularly close. I thought it was
- 14:39Speaker 6: going to be close. I was right there with you,
- 14:42Speaker 6: kind of thinking I wouldn't be surprised if they go
- 14:44Speaker 6: with Aaron Judge because of the eye popping thing that
- 14:47Speaker 6: just is you can't you don't have to be that knowledgeable.
- 14:52Speaker 6: You don't have to be the most knowledgeable to be
- 14:54Speaker 6: able to recognize that offensive year that Judge did is
- 14:59Speaker 6: outste It's so outstanding that it makes it dwarfs the
- 15:03Speaker 6: outstanding offensive season that Cal had. Now Col's I think
- 15:07Speaker 6: is just has there's different stuff to it. And this
- 15:10Speaker 6: is where if I do have bias, that it'll go
- 15:12Speaker 6: into it where it's I have a hard time not
- 15:14Speaker 6: adding extra weight to the fact that it's switch hitting
- 15:17Speaker 6: and that it's you know, twenty homers for the first
- 15:19Speaker 6: time ever from each side of the plate that anybody's
- 15:21Speaker 6: ever done, and the people's names that he broke for
- 15:24Speaker 6: switch hitting home runs and for catching home runs. And
- 15:28Speaker 6: that's where it's like, Okay, now, I know that I'm
- 15:31Speaker 6: kind of grasping its straws to some degree to give
- 15:33Speaker 6: more credence and more credit to it. But really just
- 15:36Speaker 6: the bottom line, without the bias involved in the fact
- 15:39Speaker 6: that I like him, and I actually like Aaron Judge too,
- 15:42Speaker 6: it just boils down to I just I just think that,
- 15:45Speaker 6: plain and simple, the entirety of his work was far
- 15:48Speaker 6: more valuable than the entirety of Aaron Judge's work. I mean,
- 15:52Speaker 6: if it's you want to say, forty more hits, Okay,
- 15:55Speaker 6: that's once every four days he got an extra hit,
- 15:58Speaker 6: then cal that's that's not drastic to me. Now, over
- 16:02Speaker 6: the course of the full season, obviously it turns into
- 16:05Speaker 6: higher numbers and better numbers. And yet there's just so
- 16:08Speaker 6: many seventeen thousand pitches Calcott, and I mean it's like
- 16:12Speaker 6: there's just there's just something about it that just is
- 16:15Speaker 6: it rubs me the wrong way. And I just think
- 16:17Speaker 6: that there's something missed by those that are voting. And
- 16:20Speaker 6: I just wish three others, three others would have went
- 16:22Speaker 6: the other way.
- 16:23Speaker 1: I mean, it was closed. I don't think though, I
- 16:26Speaker 1: don't think that this is a sports writer thing. I
- 16:29Speaker 1: think that former baseball players, I mean, we might have
- 16:32Speaker 1: had the exact same result. I mean, I've logged a
- 16:34Speaker 1: lot of hours watching MLB Network, and I told you
- 16:37Speaker 1: closer we were getting to this thing. The more that
- 16:40Speaker 1: those former players were talking about Aaron Judge, I think that.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think this is baseball writers don't
- 16:48Speaker 1: recognize the significance. They do. But I do think that
- 16:54Speaker 1: baseball players might have come up with the exact same
- 16:58Speaker 1: result that what we have because.
- 17:01Speaker 5: It current players voted him the most outstanding player of
- 17:05Speaker 5: the Yeah.
- 17:06Speaker 1: But okay, but that process, well then if that's what
- 17:11Speaker 1: then celebrated, Yeah, I mean, if that process, I don't
- 17:14Speaker 1: even know what the rules are behind that process because
- 17:17Speaker 1: it's not even recognized as a legitimate award.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get it.
- 17:21Speaker 1: So I don't even know what that process is. I mean,
- 17:24Speaker 1: it could have been just like ballots were left out
- 17:26Speaker 1: someday and some guys filled it out, some guys didn't.
- 17:28Speaker 1: I have no idea. This has been a calculated process
- 17:31Speaker 1: that they've been doing for a number of years. So,
- 17:35Speaker 1: I mean, so I don't know if you just isolated
- 17:37Speaker 1: one player from every single team like they do in
- 17:40Speaker 1: this process, if we would have had the exact same
- 17:43Speaker 1: result with Aaron Judge. I can just tell you. Listening
- 17:45Speaker 1: to former players on MLB Network, they were leaning toward
- 17:49Speaker 1: Judge too. I mean, and those are guys that certainly
- 17:52Speaker 1: played the game recognized the value of cal Raley and
- 17:55Speaker 1: what their what their repeated message was was, don't get
- 18:01Speaker 1: numb to how amazing Aaron Judge is, just because you've
- 18:05Speaker 1: seen him put together a season like this before. That
- 18:08Speaker 1: was their repeated message. We disagree with it, but I
- 18:11Speaker 1: don't know if it was. If they actually had the
- 18:14Speaker 1: same funneling process and you used players or former players
- 18:18Speaker 1: or managers, if we would have ended up with a different.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Result, would be interesting. Yeah, I would, Yeah, it would
- 18:24Speaker 3: be an interesting experiment.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I'd like to know, But I'm not sure that we would.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I mean maybe we would. All right, let's find out
- 18:33Speaker 1: what's on tap for the show today?
- 18:36Speaker 3: What's on TEP?
- 18:39Speaker 4: What's untep?
- 18:40Speaker 1: All right, Aaron Judge edges cow for al MVP. We'll
- 18:43Speaker 1: talk more about it in the Friday O Show Today show.
- 18:46Speaker 1: A one is fourth MVP on the National League side
- 18:49Speaker 1: of second in the National League and very funny. He
- 18:52Speaker 1: kissed his dog. That was his celebration. If hugged them both,
- 18:59Speaker 1: it might be like good jap And you don't do
- 19:01Speaker 1: that in public.
- 19:02Speaker 4: I don't know. Is that like a Japanese thing? You
- 19:03Speaker 4: don't show affection on television.
- 19:07Speaker 6: I mean there is some differences in how they show affection.
- 19:11Speaker 1: I will say that. And now that the award shows
- 19:14Speaker 1: are over, because there was an award show afterwards, And
- 19:16Speaker 1: by the way, Cal and Julio were named All MLB
- 19:20Speaker 1: this year first Team and that award show, and then
- 19:23Speaker 1: Wu and Munjos were named the second team, so congratulations
- 19:27Speaker 1: to them. That's not something that gets talked about a lot.
- 19:29Speaker 1: We always talk about the All Pro Team at the
- 19:32Speaker 1: end of the NFL season, But I don't know if
- 19:35Speaker 1: I don't, I don't even remember them doing this.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Well, we probably don't very often have a Mariner on it,
- 19:40Speaker 3: so maybe we don't have a reason to talk about it.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I think it is new. I don't think it's brand new.
- 19:44Speaker 1: I think they've done it before. But I do think
- 19:47Speaker 1: like the award ceremony and all of that stuff might
- 19:49Speaker 1: be new. I could be wrong about that. But now
- 19:51Speaker 1: the Stove offseason does officially begin, and the first episode
- 19:56Speaker 1: of Stove Anders and I recorded yesterday. It is available
- 20:00Speaker 1: on our website. I can't find it either. I don't
- 20:03Speaker 1: know how to find things.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I'll grab the link and tweeted out.
- 20:06Speaker 1: But I do know that Anders and I tweeted it
- 20:09Speaker 1: out last night on x so you can find it
- 20:14Speaker 1: and we'll see if we can't get it on the
- 20:16Speaker 1: front page of the website Crack and win last night
- 20:18Speaker 1: over Winnipeg by a final score of five to three.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Jordan Eberle scored twice in the third period, so he
- 20:26Speaker 1: goes so the crack and take it. Finally, a little
- 20:29Speaker 1: bit of an outburst of offense. They'll be facing those
- 20:32Speaker 1: baby face Sharks tomorrow. Baby sharks, Baby sharks gonna hate
- 20:38Speaker 1: us tomorrow. No, that's a great song. Tomorrow at seven o'clock?
- 20:43Speaker 2: Is that?
- 20:43Speaker 1: Is that game? College basketball? Tonight? It will be U
- 20:46Speaker 1: Dub versus Wazoo eight o'clock tip. That's right, it's the
- 20:50Speaker 1: Apple Cup on the hardwood and the Husky's taking on
- 20:54Speaker 1: the Koogs. Also, the Zags in action tonight. An interesting
- 20:57Speaker 1: game for them. They're at Arizona State. It's football, you
- 21:00Speaker 1: dob host Purdue this Saturday. We'll hear a little bit
- 21:04Speaker 1: from Rick new Isil on this game in case you
- 21:06Speaker 1: missed it. Also Thursday Night football the New England Patriots.
- 21:10Speaker 1: I knew I should have taken the under damn it.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Twenty seven to fourteen. I'm gonna lose that Penn State
- 21:15Speaker 1: bet now I know.
- 21:16Speaker 4: I am.

- 21:20Speaker 1: over the Jets last night to start week number eleven
- 21:23Speaker 1: of the National Football League season, and we will play
- 21:26Speaker 1: some more Factor fiction today at seven thirty five Ashley's
- 21:29Speaker 1: pick today, but most of the show will be about tomorrow,
- 21:33Speaker 1: excuse me, Sunday's game between the Seahawks and the Rams.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Greg Bell at seven oh five, Hugh Millen X's and
- 21:39Speaker 1: O's at nine, Mike Homeran at nine thirty, and plenty
- 21:43Speaker 1: of conversation in between. As a matter of fact, what's
- 21:46Speaker 1: at stake for Sam Darnold in tomorrow's game? Interesting stupid question,
- 21:53Speaker 1: but we're going to answer it anyway. Sports Radio ninety
- 21:56Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. I always try to figure out Ashley's.
- 22:02Speaker 5: Put in st what's at stake? And with Michael Stich,
- 22:08Speaker 5: I was like, well, no, stand is?
- 22:10Speaker 6: I was?
- 22:10Speaker 3: I ever heard that song in a while? Let's play
- 22:11Speaker 3: out one? Why not?
- 22:14Speaker 1: Yeah? Mine was better?
- 22:15Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Chuck Bucke and Ashley with you.
- 22:18Speaker 1: It was nice to hear that song. I haven't heard
- 22:20Speaker 1: that a long Yeah, there you go, Yes, what's what's
- 22:24Speaker 1: that stand in this game? Is what we're going to
- 22:27Speaker 1: talk abouts. There you go, Okay, you keep you keep? Yeah?
- 22:33Speaker 1: Good justification back there Sea Hawks rams one o'clock on Sunday.
- 22:38Speaker 1: I mean everything, first base, first place is on the line,
- 22:41Speaker 1: but just first place midway through the year. I mean,
- 22:45Speaker 1: let's be real about this. I mean, as great a game.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Sander said, I don't remember being as
- 22:50Speaker 1: excited about a Seahawks regular season game. I don't remember
- 22:54Speaker 1: the last time I was this excited to watch it.
- 22:56Speaker 1: And we did a little bit of math probably seven
- 22:58Speaker 1: eight years ago maybe, and maybe we are prisoners of
- 23:01Speaker 1: the moment. But as was pointed out, and I don't
- 23:05Speaker 1: think Greg was saying the divisions on the line on Sunday,
- 23:09Speaker 1: but Hugh did want to make clear in the roundtable
- 23:11Speaker 1: yesterday that really the winner of this game. It's a
- 23:15Speaker 1: nice win, and it gives you a game and a
- 23:17Speaker 1: half lead over the other team in the division for
- 23:21Speaker 1: the moment. You do have to face each other again, though,
- 23:24Speaker 1: and you can just eliminate, you can scrub this loss
- 23:27Speaker 1: whoever loses it. So, I mean, it's not like the
- 23:30Speaker 1: division is on the line here in this game, but
- 23:34Speaker 1: certainly for week eleven of a eighteen week regular season. Yeah,
- 23:42Speaker 1: this is about as big as it gets.
- 23:44Speaker 6: Well, something's got to give right, I mean, you got
- 23:46Speaker 6: both of them. Are you're essentially tied at the top
- 23:49Speaker 6: of the division record wise. The Seahawks haven't lost on
- 23:52Speaker 6: the road this year, and the Rams are pretty good
- 23:56Speaker 6: at home. I think one of their losses was at home.
- 23:59Speaker 6: But they're three and one home I So to me, it's, yeah,
- 24:03Speaker 6: it's not a make or break. I mean, the team
- 24:06Speaker 6: that loses this game could very well end up winning
- 24:08Speaker 6: the division, regardless of which one it is. So it's
- 24:11Speaker 6: not a it's not like, you know, it could become
- 24:13Speaker 6: Week seventeen or whatever when you when all the marbles
- 24:16Speaker 6: are on the table, so to speak.
- 24:18Speaker 4: But I think that there's the measuring stick side of it.
- 24:22Speaker 6: Neither team I think has a really high quality win,
- 24:26Speaker 6: I don't think. I mean, I think the Rams beat
- 24:29Speaker 6: the Colts, which is a good win, I suppose, but
- 24:31Speaker 6: that was that was in Week four when we didn't
- 24:34Speaker 6: even know if the culture really that good necessarily, I mean,
- 24:38Speaker 6: they it's not that they've had that. They're not significant.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Every win in the NFL is good, and.
- 24:42Speaker 1: This one's more significant than the most because it is
- 24:44Speaker 1: worth it's worth a win and a half I mean
- 24:47Speaker 1: for just for that alone, because you for the moment,
- 24:50Speaker 1: even though you have a chance to undo that, you,
- 24:53Speaker 1: for the moment have taken a one game lead and
- 24:56Speaker 1: you have the tiebreaker over the team that is closest
- 25:00Speaker 1: to you in the division. So that in and of
- 25:02Speaker 1: itself makes it bigger than a normal game ten of
- 25:06Speaker 1: the regular season. But there's so much season left to
- 25:09Speaker 1: make up for it that this isn't like their meeting
- 25:12Speaker 1: in week seventeen of the season.
- 25:15Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the well, that's the idea of but it's
- 25:18Speaker 6: one of those Okay, we get to I think both
- 25:20Speaker 6: teams are feeling really good about themselves offensively, defensively. You know,
- 25:24Speaker 6: Hughes kind of pointed out a couple of times that
- 25:26Speaker 6: maybe one team is feeling really good the Seahawks special
- 25:29Speaker 6: teams wise, and the Rams maybe not so much. But
- 25:32Speaker 6: really overarching, you walk through each clubhouse and I'm pretty
- 25:35Speaker 6: sure guys are puffed up and feeling confident about going
- 25:38Speaker 6: into this game, and yet only one of them is
- 25:40Speaker 6: gonna come out victorious. And so I think there's something
- 25:43Speaker 6: to that. There's you don't want to be playing that
- 25:45Speaker 6: second matchup, you know, in week sixteen, where you're like,
- 25:48Speaker 6: now we have to win this right, because ultimately you
- 25:51Speaker 6: could you take a more than a step, it's called
- 25:55Speaker 6: a step and a half in the direction of winning
- 25:57Speaker 6: the division. By winning this, it doesn't mean that you can't.
- 26:00Speaker 6: You'll take two steps back at some point while they're
- 26:02Speaker 6: taking while they're stepping up and stepping forward. So it's important,
- 26:06Speaker 6: But to me, it just feels more like the stuff intrinsically,
- 26:09Speaker 6: the stuff inside about how you'll feel about it, makes
- 26:12Speaker 6: it far bigger than even the consequences in the win
- 26:15Speaker 6: lost record.
- 26:16Speaker 3: I just think too.
- 26:17Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, to be able to have the ability
- 26:19Speaker 5: to control your own outcomes moving forward in the season. Yes,
- 26:23Speaker 5: as we said, still a lot of season left to play,
- 26:26Speaker 5: but the last thing you want is to get down
- 26:28Speaker 5: to those last three weeks of the season.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Now you're going into the Rams game.
- 26:31Speaker 5: You have to win, and you have to have other
- 26:34Speaker 5: people losing to help you get where you want to get.
- 26:37Speaker 3: You want to be able to have it all under
- 26:38Speaker 3: your own control. And this win is.
- 26:40Speaker 5: A big way puts you in the drivers see exactly
- 26:42Speaker 5: puts you in the driver's seat.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, I think that's a worthwhile conversation, and I
- 26:48Speaker 1: think it was worthwhile even though I don't think Greg
- 26:51Speaker 1: meant it the way that he was saying it. I
- 26:53Speaker 1: think it was worthwhile for you to just in case
- 26:56Speaker 1: people don't, let me just correct this is the season's
- 26:59Speaker 1: not on the line on stately, all right. I think
- 27:02Speaker 1: that's worthwhile to discuss. Now the worldwide leader in its
- 27:06Speaker 1: pathetic way to make everything seem so much larger than
- 27:10Speaker 1: it actually is. The conversation yesterday that they had on
- 27:14Speaker 1: one of the talking head shows was what's at stake
- 27:17Speaker 1: for Sam Donald?
- 27:19Speaker 5: Oh?
- 27:20Speaker 3: Gosh, poor Sam Darnald.
- 27:21Speaker 1: What's at stake for Sam Donald? If he loses, he's
- 27:24Speaker 1: a game back in the NFC West, And if he wins,
- 27:26Speaker 1: he's a game ahead.
- 27:28Speaker 3: I mean, what else?
- 27:29Speaker 1: What else would be at stake?
- 27:30Speaker 3: Like?
- 27:30Speaker 1: Are we? Are we saying that if Sam Donald doesn't
- 27:34Speaker 1: play well tomorrow, it'll.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Prove that he can't win big games, that's what they're hoping.
- 27:39Speaker 1: I think, are you trying to say that if Sam
- 27:42Speaker 1: Donald doesn't beat the Rams on Sunday that, based off
- 27:47Speaker 1: of last year's postseason struggles, he'll never beat the Rams?
- 27:52Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing more than Sam Donald's a game
- 27:57Speaker 1: back of the Rams in the NFC. What Sam Donald
- 27:59Speaker 1: and the Sea or a game back of the Rams
- 28:01Speaker 1: in the NFC West. If he loses on Sunday, and
- 28:03Speaker 1: if he wins, he's a game ahead, it doesn't mean
- 28:05Speaker 1: that he solved the Rams and Sam Donald has clearly
- 28:09Speaker 1: entered the conversation as best quarterback in the National Football League.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I mean, what's at stake for Sam Donald? Same thing
- 28:17Speaker 1: that's at stake for JSN or Dvante Adams or or
- 28:22Speaker 1: you know, Matthew Stafford, Matthew Stafford or whoever it's that
- 28:26Speaker 1: I'll be a game up on the Rams, be a
- 28:28Speaker 1: really nice win on Sunday.
- 28:30Speaker 6: There's nothing Well, yeah, I wouldn't say there's anything that
- 28:33Speaker 6: is at stake because that, to me implies if it
- 28:36Speaker 6: doesn't go, well, what does that mean?
- 28:39Speaker 4: Right, what's at stake?
- 28:40Speaker 1: I would say Mike McDonald and John Schneider look at
- 28:43Speaker 1: each other after the game is over, like we clearly
- 28:45Speaker 1: have the wrong guy.
- 28:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was working out really well. Yeah, seven
- 28:50Speaker 4: and three.
- 28:51Speaker 6: We should reassume I'm dry. John, no row, get your helmet. Yeah,
- 28:58Speaker 6: you're getting more reps.
- 29:00Speaker 4: Can't handle this. I will say this.
- 29:02Speaker 6: I think that there is something to if you were
- 29:06Speaker 6: thinking about the surprise. I think you maybe asked this
- 29:08Speaker 6: question yesterday to somebody, uh surprised of Matthew Stafford and
- 29:13Speaker 6: Sam Donald being in the MVP race. I wouldn't call
- 29:17Speaker 6: it what's at stake, but I would think Sam Sam
- 29:19Speaker 6: Donald goes out there and continues puts up another monster
- 29:23Speaker 6: game against a division foe, out duels Matthew Stafford. Now
- 29:27Speaker 6: might mind you, they don't play against each other per
- 29:30Speaker 6: se when it comes to offensive jump him in the
- 29:32Speaker 6: MVP guy, I think, so that's like, what could he gain?
- 29:36Speaker 4: Big game?
- 29:37Speaker 6: But that to me is not this And yet that's
- 29:39Speaker 6: one of those Okay, really is that a preemptive conversation
- 29:41Speaker 6: or is that something you wait until? Is that something
- 29:44Speaker 6: you wait until he kicks his ass? And then you're like, dude,
- 29:48Speaker 6: this guy, you know, this is this is for real?
- 29:51Speaker 6: That was the That was the stamp on what has
- 29:53Speaker 6: been a spectacular MVP candidacy type of first half.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:57Speaker 1: I mean there was a time during the regular season
- 30:00Speaker 1: where maybe more of those voters, seventeen out of those
- 30:04Speaker 1: thirty voters, maybe we're gonna vote for col in mid September.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I mean, do we know, does it matter that you've
- 30:11Speaker 1: moved ahead of Matt Stafford in the MVP race at
- 30:15Speaker 1: week ten of the season on November fourteenth. So, I mean, yeah,
- 30:20Speaker 1: that's you're right, that's a worthwhile conversation. But I don't
- 30:24Speaker 1: think that I would put a headline across the screen.
- 30:27Speaker 1: What's at stake for Sam Donald? No MVP positioning midway
- 30:32Speaker 1: through a football season. I guess that's what's at stake
- 30:34Speaker 1: for Sam Darnold. A game in the standings, that's what's
- 30:37Speaker 1: at stake for Sam Donald on Sunday.
- 30:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't think he's losing any reps.
- 30:42Speaker 6: He could go out there and have an absolute stinker,
- 30:44Speaker 6: and it doesn't mean that we're gonna be talking about
- 30:47Speaker 6: is our quarterback controversy going into the game against Tennessee.
- 30:50Speaker 1: John, you obviously had an eye. We're better off of
- 30:54Speaker 1: Sam Donald than Gino Smith. But he can't beat the Rams. John, Yeah,
- 30:58Speaker 1: that's what's at stake.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Let's give him back to the vikings, all right, no.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Cliche Keys to victory. Next Sports Radio ninety three point
- 31:04Speaker 1: three kJ R f M. I do appreciate that Bucky
- 31:07Speaker 1: is throwing his hands up these days, even though his
- 31:09Speaker 1: heart's not in it.
- 31:11Speaker 3: I mean, he seems me strong he's more in than he.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Man.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you don't keep him all the way
- 31:18Speaker 1: up like Ludacrous tells you to do.
- 31:20Speaker 4: No, you know, it's true.
- 31:22Speaker 1: It's it's all half hearted, but it's better than no hearted.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean I did back in the day,
- 31:27Speaker 4: like when I was clubbing.
- 31:29Speaker 6: Oh, oh, I know you're into it. Yeah, you're right, Yeah,
- 31:33Speaker 6: it was. It was the vibe, you know, it was
- 31:34Speaker 6: all about where I was at. Yeah, al stick in
- 31:36Speaker 6: your mouth possibly, yeah, quite possibly. But yeah, I don't
- 31:40Speaker 6: have that same zest. Yeah, it's just not there. I
- 31:43Speaker 6: don't feel it, you know, at six point fifty in
- 31:45Speaker 6: the morning.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Now, I'm just saying I appreciate you at least half
- 31:48Speaker 1: hearting it.
- 31:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because it turns into a stretch. I put
- 31:52Speaker 6: my arms up and then I'm like, oh, this is
- 31:53Speaker 6: a good feeling stretch.
- 31:56Speaker 1: So you're multitasking.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:58Speaker 1: All right. Well, let's time for our no cliche keys
- 32:00Speaker 1: to victory. We do this before every Seahawks game. We
- 32:03Speaker 1: go around the room, what's the key to the victory?
- 32:05Speaker 1: And please do not use a cliche like so many
- 32:09Speaker 1: lazy analysts use out there. I need something specific as
- 32:13Speaker 1: to why the Seahawks can pull off a victory against
- 32:16Speaker 1: the Rams in La on Sunday, Bucky get a start.
- 32:19Speaker 6: I mean, I think this really could be twofold for
- 32:22Speaker 6: both guys, and yet this is kind of one of
- 32:24Speaker 6: those decisive moments. We'll see quarterbacks good quarterbacks that have
- 32:29Speaker 6: bad games, and a lot of times where that happens
- 32:31Speaker 6: is holding on to the ball too long and letting
- 32:35Speaker 6: the pass rush get to him. I mean, both these
- 32:37Speaker 6: teams have some guys that can get after the quarterback.
- 32:39Speaker 6: Jared Vers I think is the guy that pops in
- 32:41Speaker 6: my head first. But this Byron Young Dude's got nine
- 32:44Speaker 6: sacks for them. So to me, the key is Sam
- 32:47Speaker 6: Darnold has to be decisive and he has to be
- 32:49Speaker 6: quick with it, right, Which is that processing and how
- 32:52Speaker 6: quick your processor works is the key I think to
- 32:55Speaker 6: playing really good quarterback. It sounds like, and that's what
- 32:58Speaker 6: I'm learning from Hugh Millin, is it just you got
- 33:00Speaker 6: to throw to the right guy at the right time. Well,
- 33:03Speaker 6: that's a in a division rival matchup, I think you
- 33:06Speaker 6: have to figure out where that is quicker because they're
- 33:08Speaker 6: going to they know what you want to do and
- 33:10Speaker 6: they're going to try to take those things away, and
- 33:12Speaker 6: yet it's a double edged sword because you can't hold
- 33:14Speaker 6: on to it. If they've taken one away or even
- 33:16Speaker 6: the second option away. You've got to move through your
- 33:19Speaker 6: progression and get rid of the ball, otherwise it could
- 33:21Speaker 6: be damage. So the key is what get rid of
- 33:24Speaker 6: the ball. He's got to be quick and decisive. He's
- 33:27Speaker 6: got to be quick and decisive. Don't hold onto the ball.
- 33:29Speaker 6: If you got to throw the thing out of the
- 33:31Speaker 6: bounds and then go ahead and do that, or if
- 33:32Speaker 6: you've got to, you know, dirt it a little bit.
- 33:34Speaker 6: Just don't hold onto that ball and let big things
- 33:36Speaker 6: happen bad way.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Ashley, what you know cliche key to victory?
- 33:39Speaker 3: I mean, you just have to play smart football.
- 33:41Speaker 5: We've talked about all week how close these two teams
- 33:43Speaker 5: are in every aspect. So and while I recognize it's
- 33:46Speaker 5: impossible to be perfect in every aspect of the game,
- 33:49Speaker 5: you can't let your mistakes be bigger than their mistakes.
- 33:53Speaker 5: And they're very good at taking advantage of any mistakes.
- 33:56Speaker 3: And we in the.
- 33:57Speaker 5: Second half of last week got sloppy. We made some mistakes.
- 34:00Speaker 5: You can't play that kind of football. You've got to
- 34:02Speaker 5: play the first half against Arizona. That's what you've got
- 34:05Speaker 5: to play.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Did you just hear a turnover battle?
- 34:07Speaker 4: Did you? A little bit?
- 34:08Speaker 3: But I explained it better?
- 34:09Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 34:11Speaker 1: Yeah, no, not just turnovers, all mistakes.
- 34:13Speaker 3: All mistakes.
- 34:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 34:14Speaker 5: But it was funny because when I looked at it,
- 34:16Speaker 5: I was like, Oh, we just have to win the
- 34:17Speaker 5: turnover battle because because are there. But as I was
- 34:20Speaker 5: looking at the difference, right because their turnover differential there
- 34:23Speaker 5: plus seven were minus four, like, yeah, we make a
- 34:27Speaker 5: lot more mistakes they don't.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Yeah, if it is, I mean, you can use turnover battle.
- 34:32Speaker 1: You just have to give us a specific reason why. Yeah,
- 34:36Speaker 1: turnover Did I do that? Do I need to be better?
- 34:39Speaker 4: I know you're in a gray area.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I think Bucky.
- 34:41Speaker 6: Mine was kind of is essentially leaning towards turnover battle
- 34:45Speaker 6: as well, right, admit, yeah, you well it's yeah, it's
- 34:51Speaker 6: but there's a how you got to do it because
- 34:53Speaker 6: if you don't, Yeah, yeah, turnovers could be costly.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm gonna go mind no cliche. Key to Victor
- 35:00Speaker 1: is Davonte Adams. Uh, Okay, if he play, doesn't play,
- 35:05Speaker 1: we're gonna win. If he does play, then there's gonna
- 35:10Speaker 1: be a real challenge for Mike McDonald. Theyre not a
- 35:14Speaker 1: lot of teams you're gonna face. Are gonna have two
- 35:16Speaker 1: elite receivers and an elite quarterback, and they are difficult matchups.
- 35:23Speaker 1: They're both big, they're both physical, and so you know
- 35:27Speaker 1: you can put spoon on one. Who's going are you?
- 35:32Speaker 1: Reek Willen's gonna have to play the other in man
- 35:35Speaker 1: and man situations, even in zone situations, and so Reek
- 35:39Speaker 1: Wallan's been a little spotty. He's been better as of late,
- 35:42Speaker 1: but it's this could really come down Toreek Wollan in
- 35:46Speaker 1: his matchup against a stronger, more physical Nikua, or Riek
- 35:50Speaker 1: Wollan's matchup against one of the great route runners in
- 35:53Speaker 1: the history of the National Football League, Davonte Adams. So
- 35:57Speaker 1: that skill and know how and wisdom versus Riek Wollan,
- 36:01Speaker 1: who's not exactly steeped in those three categories. So I
- 36:05Speaker 1: don't know how Mike McDonald will play it, but Rieke
- 36:08Speaker 1: Wollan is gonna have to play a big role in
- 36:11Speaker 1: this game, and he's gonna have to play well because
- 36:14Speaker 1: if DeVante Adams plays, he's gonna be matching up against
- 36:18Speaker 1: an elite receiver. Is he ready for that matchup. So
- 36:22Speaker 1: that's gonna be my Keno cliche key to Victory headlines.
