  Speaker 1: So Jerry de Poto was on this morning. We got
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Sumermandiel talking college football. Coming up at one twenty, Jerry
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Potto was on this Morning with the Morning Show. You
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: can listen the whole thing on the iHeartRadio app. I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: know that's free and you can, Yes, it is. You
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: can go download that right now. Listen to it on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the podcast page with Chuck and Bucky talking to Poto
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for hours on end. But honestly, this is just selfish
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: on my part, but hopefully everyone else is kind of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: sharing the same thing. My big I didn't hear it,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: but my biggest thing would be Okay, that's cool. Naylor signed, awesome,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: great step in the right direction. What's next? What will
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you spend.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: After riding excuse me the high of what we all
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: got to ride along with what you guys did there.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, is the is the idea to continue to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: move forward in the way of spending or is it
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: trying to stay the same or is it trying to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: be creative and move some things around.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: You know, we've been we've been moving forward for years.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I We may not move forward at a pace that
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: that pleases every band or listener, but we've grown our payroll,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: and that's impossible season, it really is.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: They don't spend enough money.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing we're gonna come just a little shy of
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. But you know, we'll continue to grow our payroll.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: It's it's what we do. And you know we've and
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: part of that is when you have you know, good
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: young players who are growing, they're in the arbitration system,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously bringing in a free agent of Josh's status,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: and and we plan on continuing to play in the
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: free agent market and fill some some voids. But you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: from a team building perspective, you know, I said at
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the end of the season, our our starting point for
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six is where we finished twenty five, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: we finished twenty five with you know, the highest or
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: second highest payroll and the history of the franchise, depending
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: on where you put, uh, you know, the last dollar,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: it's it's very close. But you know, we're we are growing,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: we are aggressive, we are looking to get better. We'd
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: like to at least another bat to that lineup, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: we really want to beef up the bullpen and add
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to the middle and even the leverage arm. If the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: possibility exists, and whether that's free agency, trade whatever, we're
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: just looking to add the best players we can.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Jerry Depoto is with us to isolate a part of
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: that question and answer. I mean, you said at the
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: end of the year that we're probably going to start
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: next year with a payroll similar to the one that
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: we ended with, and of course that's not written in stone.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: But when you spend eighteen and a half million on
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: one player, and you're also talking about trying to keep
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Polanco and or Sworez as well, boy, that money that
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: really gets burned up rather quickly. So I wanted to
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: isolate the part of Bucky's question about whether or not
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: you feel like you might have to move some money around,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: move a salary out in order to create some of
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: that leverage to add to the team.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it depends what we're adding. You know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: we're always open to any type of thought, but you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the idea of bringing the team back in some form
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: to what the twenty five team look like moving players
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: off kind of defeats that purpose. So we're very comfortable
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: with the level of talent that exists on our team.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I think as we sit here in the middle of November.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I do believe we're one of the most complete or
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: most talented teams in the American League, So pulling away
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: from that team would kind of defeat the purpose, which
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: is why I answered the question as I did, which
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you know, market forces will have to get a little
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: lucky for all that to.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Work for us.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: But you know, we were very comfortable with the depth
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: that we've created in our starting rotation. We like the
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: way you know, our lineup looks. We do want to
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: continue to provide opportunity for young players. That's a foundational
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: part of what we do, and we have good young players,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: so finding that balance. Striking that balance is important, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: which is why a guy like Korge is such a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: pivotal guy in our lineup. Last year, he could do
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a little third, he could do some second, he could eight,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: He's even now played some first base and the switch hitter.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: That versatility allows us to continue to develop a team.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And you know, going out and finding players that can
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: do that is paramount for us, and we'll continue to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: look whether it's woor He or somebody else.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So the couple things. One when they talk about payroll
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and being larger than it's been it's the world's more
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: expensive today than it was five years ago. Don't go
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: down that road. Two, it's a self imposed salary cap.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: What you spend is what you and not him. I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: sure if Jerry had his brothers, he would spend more money.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But the any kind of spending is self imposed by ownership.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: This isn't where. This isn't the NFL where John Schneider
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: had to get rid of salaries because for the rules
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for the rules. Yes, this isn't the Kraken where they
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: have a hard cap in the NHL where you have
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to play salary cap gymnastics on a day to day basis,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: because trust me, that ownership group wouldn't care lt I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: R all that stuff. They would spend money and they
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: would bring guys in. They would have been in the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and the sweepstakes for every You know. It just that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that's how it works. And baseball's different. There is no
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: salary cap, so it's self imposed. But Two, I think
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you have to really like what he said, yes about
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the end about like the thought is there's there's a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: there's a prevailing thought, and I know Chuck has it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: He talked about this morning before the interview like they
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: want they are they going to move Castill doesn't sound
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like they want to. That's good, Yes, that's very very good.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Let's not player, he's one of the good players. Yes,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: why would you move him? That makes you worse than
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you were last year. That doesn't help you. You want
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to move forward, not backwards. Signing nail Or is status quo.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Correct doesn't move you forward. It keeps you where you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: were because right now now you're not as good as
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you were last year because Plank's not back yet. Correct Gino,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just push aside because honestly, he doesn't He's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: not going to help you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: He's clubhouse guy, but he's not gonna help you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna help you. He just isn't gonna help
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you from a baseball standpoint, for what you'd have to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: probably pay him. It just that that part of it
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: needs to give you a discount. Right, And I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Softy brought up the other day they need a better
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: right fielder. They probably need not Geno, but a better
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: third basement. Right, you need to figure out what you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: can do at second base. You know, is it polonical
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: part of the time, is it cool? Young? Part of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the time is Polanco gonna be your DH the other
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: half of the time. But I did like what Jerry
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: said about hey like moving guys to create payroll flexibility
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is basically what he's saying. That doesn't help you get better,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't, which is good like I because my
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: thought would be, you've got look at the injuries that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: happened in that rotation last season. You got five guys,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you're gonna need seven, eight, whatever it might be. So
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: let's keep those top five guys fill in the blanks
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with somebody else. If when those guys inevitably somebody gets hurt,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, tears, a fingernail, has whatever stiffness in his
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you know, foxer, forearm, flexer. With all these baseball injuries are,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's going to happen. And if you take Castillo off,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: just there's a domino effect. All of a sudden, you're
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: not as good as you were last year because you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: don't have him. Then somebody else gets hurt. Now you're
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: down to three or two. That's not good. But I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: like what he said there. I don't like when he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: says stuff like, you know, we're a higher paid roll again,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: stop as what was everybody and everything. But I do
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like when he says we can't take basically, we don't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: want to take a step backwards.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: And I think that's a response to what they did
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: after twenty twenty three, right, They kind of they were like, yeah,
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: we don't want to bring Geno backs. They traded him
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: and then they got didn't bring back ta Oscar. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: they kind of lowered themselves in that department, but then
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: tried to make it up in other ways. But now
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: they're just like, you know what, we believe in our team.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: We're going to keep the guys that we possibly can
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: and incrementally build from there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: There's been a hand every year since then, they've they've
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: signed like these three or four guys that are just
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: at the end of their career that are just absolute slappies,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that have no business even collecting a Major League Baseball
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: check anymore. And it's never worked out. And you turf
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: those guys, you get rid of them, you move on,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: what have you keep what you've got. And he said
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that he did mention the young guys, and I like
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to hear that, Yes, so instead of bringing in the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: guy that used to be good, who is the guy
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: this year? I mean who was the guy? God help
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: us man?
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, thirty pretty no.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: More Donovan Solonos, gimme Cole Young or whatever they minor
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: league got, whatever it is, Okay, so I'll do that. Okay,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: good stuff. Whole thing's up there on the website. Go
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: check it out, and or on the podcast page as well.

  Speaker 8: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back Sports Radio ninety three point three KFM.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Me infnts with you and our weekly visit was Stuart Mandel.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: As we head down the home stretch of the college
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: football season, college football playoff rankings are there for us
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to decide. There's coaching carousel moves changes, there's private equity.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of stuff going on. Man, Stuart, how
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: are you wow when you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Put it that way? Yeah, there is a lot going on.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: There's so much. You did this on your pod. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: thought was really good. I want to do this real
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: quick and then move on to football. But you know
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the story about the private equity firm, which is what
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the retirement fund for the UC college system I believe
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: out of California. It wants to invest in the Big ten.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of money for now is on hold.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: The interesting part I found with it was the tier
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: system that kind of puts at least USC off a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: little bit. And Michigan was in that top tier. But
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they don't like to do it. So those two schools
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: are saying no, it's what sounds like it's a pause.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Can you explain basically, once this private equity firm invested
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the money being distributed there there were is it two
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: or three or four tiers? How is that going to work?
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah? So I have to have to make the key
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: distinction that it's not a private equity firm, like you said,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: it's a it's a it's basically a part of the
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: UC California system that manages their country plan. And by
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: the way, I didn't know two weeks ago that that
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: was a thing. They would pay two point four billion upfront.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: The conferences are going to pay that out in tiers,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: like you said, based on I don't know whether clearly
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: there's some there's when there's a valuation done, it's like
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: they know exactly they are able to quantify who contributes
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: what to the value of that company. And so it
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: was decreed that Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State are in
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: that upper tier, and USC Oregon or in the next one.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: And I don't actually know how neither are after that,
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: but those are clearly the two top ones.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I found that interesting from this standpoint. Now, listen, I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: am far from a U doub apologist. I'm the opposite
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of U doub apologists. I like when things don't go
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Udub's way. That makes me happy, puts a smile on
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: my face. But I was a little surprised by like
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: media market twelve seventy six thousand seat stadium, a team
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that was in the college football Playoff a couple of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: years ago. I know it's more than just that, but
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I was I was surprised to hear that Washington at
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: best would be a Tier three school in that scenario.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: That's surprised. Does you surprise you at Allsto, you're out west.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: No, If it's I assume it's based at least in
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: part on TV ratings, maybe a large part, right, because
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: you're talking about this firm would be taking a stake
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: basically in their media revenue. In that Fox CBS NBC
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: deal that pays the conference over a billion dollars a year,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: they're getting a cut of that. And so I'm sure
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: when Fox CBS NBC put in their bid it was
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: based on exactly how many rating points they can expect
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: each program to contribute, and you know, just kind of
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: I look at TV ratings a lot and he just
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: kind of ballpark. Yeah, I don't think Washington. They certainly
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: did the year they went to the National title game, right, right,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Like these things are static year to year, But in general,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: what they're looking at it over what a ten period,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: fifteen year, whatever period they're looking at it. No, they're
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: not at the level of the first five we mentioned.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Stuer Mandel joining us from the athletic All right, let's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: get into coaching for a second. The Lane Kiffin thing
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: seem it seems like it changes by the moments, the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like are is his family looking at other places, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: touring cities, count towns, campuses. Well, he's not. He goes
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on the Pat McAfee show, I guess says that's not true,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that the school's given an ultimatum. And from what you
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: can gather, where are we at with Lane Kiffin? Because
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it feels like until he decides what his future is,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: all these other Power five jobs are going to remain open,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: right like he has to be the He's kind of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the domino.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: It's an unprecedented situation which I feel like, I say
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: a lot in collegooball these days for two schools to
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: be openly courting a guy in the middle of the
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: season and apparently expecting an answer sooner than later. You know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I know what he said on the Pat McBee show,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: whether her you know, and maybe it was a matter
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: of semantics, but you know, it's definitely been made clear
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: to him. They expect it all miss expects a decision
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: before the Egg Bowl. In terms of like what would
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: they do if he didn't give him a decision? I
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: don't know. Maybe they don't know, but for the for
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: everybody's you know, ability to plan going forward, they would
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: like resolution to it by then, because I think if
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: he does end up taking a different job, they're probably
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: not going to want him to coach their team in
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. And I also think, you know, we know
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: by the way that the flying the port and elso
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: used sending a plane to fly his family members to
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: come visit is crazy. It's it's so like brazen that
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: they would do that. So, you know, if you're all
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: missed like link, Diffrin has delivered them to a place
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: they haven't been since the fifties and sixties. It's an
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: amazing season. But even they are probably like, I don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: know if we like being you know, strung along like this.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: And it's kind of embarrassing that his wife or ex wife,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: I don't even know who was on the plane is
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: torn campuses while we're trying to get our team, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: have a win the Egg Bowl and get to the playoffs.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: So he has done nothing obviously to he says there's
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: no deadline, but he also won't say that he's you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: he no comment in today on the SEC media call
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: about when he's asked about those flights. He has done
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: nothing to deny that this isn't happening.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And that's a simple easy thing to do, isn't it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Just say no or just say I'm staying. And if
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he doesn't say any of those things, then it just
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: continues to lead to speculation, right which is a distraction
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: for his team. It's a distraction for those players. It's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: his staff. I just I guess, yes, that's the part now, Lane,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I I don't know, Maybe I'm wrong here, Stuart. It
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: feels like Lane's the kind of guy that doesn't mind
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the attention though he kind of enjoys this kind of stuff.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure. And in some ways it's probably
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: stoking it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Would you the jobs themselves. I just can't imagine LSU
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is an attractive job right now. I know the history
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and everything else, but man, it just seems like an
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: absolute gong show there with the politics involved, the government,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you know, the state, the governor involved, athletic director situation,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the expectations, what's the contract going to look like? And
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they really do something that's not you know, a normal
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: big time college football contract with all kinds you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: with all kinds of protections for the guy that signs it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And then Florida is that's an interesting one. It's an
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: SEC school, but the expectations there through the roof, whereas
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it feels like, oh, miss, he's got that thing going
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: right now. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong here, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: it just sometimes the grass isn't always green or Stewart
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: if you look at those three jobs, because it feels
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like it's he's gonna have one of those three jobs
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, which ones are the best ones?
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I agree with you that the dysfunction
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: at LSU right now makes it hard to see why
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: he would go there. The governor even let it slip
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: that he'd been talking to him for two hours the
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: other day. But you know, sometimes these coaches, and especially
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: one with the confidence level of Lank Kiffin, saying doesn't matter.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: You know if it's me, if I'm there, I'll make
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: it work. I'll be able to win. And so, I mean,
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I think it clearly comes down to I don't think
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: LSU he's going to pick LSU over the others because
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: they can offer him thirteen million a year and the
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: other ones can only offer eleven point five million. It's
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: lang Kiff wants to win national championship and it's unclear
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: whether you can actually do that at all. Miss they're
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: having a great season, they've had a great run here,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: but it's not like they've won a national title anytime
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: in recent history. But LSU and Florida have and he
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: may feel like to really ascend to the top like
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: and that goal, I need to go to one of them.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: But you know, it is a little You should always
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: be careful in your coach and the thing you hear
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: coaches talk about all the time is the importance of alignment.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: And ole Miss has great alignment from its administration through
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: to its collective and to the athletic department. LSU has
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: no alignment right.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Now, Stu Amandel join us from the athletic I'm looking
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: here at the rankings as you say that. The question
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: comes to my mind right now, and this is just
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: as abstract and subjective as it gets to So I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: apologize in advance, but I think it's an interesting discussion
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: point when we're talking about schools like ole Miss or Indiana.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Although Signette's there for a while, he signed the extension,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: we were always there. How many teams do you think
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in today's college football, which I guess could change in
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a day, but in today's college football, how many programs
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: really can win a national championship?
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that number kind of changes in my mind from
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: time to time. I certainly never would have considered Indiana
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: to be one of them. So I think in general
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: maybe six to eight, nearly all of which are in
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: the Big Ten and SEC. But the sport is changing
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: so rapidly that it might be that while Indiana's never
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: going to be a Alabama Georgia type program that does
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: this year in year out, but can they rise up
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: and win the national title one year? Possibly? I think
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: we're going to find out this year because I think
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: there's certainly one of the team's best position to do it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: But the sport, the transfer portal, has definitely flattened the
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: sport and made it harder for the top programs to
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: hoard all the talent. It's dispersed the talent a little
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: bit more, but there are still certain advantages that those me.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Look at Georgia right now, they were not looking like
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: a playoff team the first half of the year. They
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: look like the best team in the SEC now, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: that's you know that's the program that just they they
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: are never lacking for talent and even if it didn't
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: click right away, like those guys always there waiting to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: come out, and now they are. And that's not something
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: the majority of programs are able to do.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It's just you know, yeah, I agree with you. I mean,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of looking through even the list of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff rankings right now, and you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out like who's I mean, listen, to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: USC did win a title, but it's been a long time,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: right Miami, It's been a long time, you know, Alabama certainly,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the recency is there. I mean, you can look it
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: through all these schools, Georgia, but you're right, like I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: just Ohio State obviously, Michigan for sure. But it's just
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: kind of it feels like, you know, if you're an
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: old miss, can you win a national championship. I don't know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: we'll find out what he does in the playoffs if
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: he sticks around. I'm fascinated by it, to be honest
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: with you too, I'm fascinated by that. I'm fascinated by Indiana.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Can Indiana take a run in the college football playoffs
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: this year? Like I'm curious about those things. A and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: M's always played second fidle to Texas. Can they take
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a run? They just survived one of the craziest second
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: halfs and first half of a game I've ever seen, Like,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: can these teams take a run? And when you're one
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and done? Kind of like March madness? Right, you never know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: but it's maybe who's playing the best this time of
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the year might be Georgia.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: And the other thing I would just say about that
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: is when you mentioned ole Miss, I thought their team
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: last year could win the national championship cause they had
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: a first round quarterback, they had one of the best
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: defensive the lines in the country. They went all in
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: on the portal. I did not expect this team to
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: be the one that would make the playoffs and put
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: them in that position. Right, So I don't know that
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: this team is going to win the national championship, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: I don't think that means you never could at ole Miss.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: But like I said, what Lane's been able to do
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: is probably better than almost anyone is. Okay, here are
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: our holes for next year. Here are the ten guys
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: we're going to go get in the portal and their
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: hit rate is so high. You know, it's not everybody
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: hits that rate, but that's a different way to run
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: your program, and frankly, leaving yourself vulnerable to having a
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: down year than the Alabamas in Georgia, who just okay,
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: here's another flass of five stars. Here's another class of
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: five stars. And we do have a few holes that
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: will go hit in the portal, but that's not how
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: we're building our team.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Virginia Tech is one of those schools
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: at some point with James Franklin. He didn't get it
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: done at Penn State, but that's as a football first
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: school in a basketball conference, and that the stadium is phenomenal,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere is phenomenal. I wonder if Franklin can take
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that team to the next level.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: I think he can take him to the next level.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's national championship or not. Obviously
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: they got there with Michael Vick a long time ago.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: That was a different sport. That was the two team
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: BCS and if you went I think it might have
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: been eleven and a zero that year and there weren't
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: more than two, then you were going to go to
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: the national title. Game as simple as that. But what
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: I think Virginia Tech, I think you get the nail
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: on the head. They've always been kind of sitting there
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: as a sleeping giant there because that's a big time
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: rabid football school. If you took Virginia Tech and plopped
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: it down in the SEC, they would fit right in.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: And there's only a few schools of the ANCC. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: would say that about Florida State, Clempson, Miami, Virginia Tech.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Everybody else is at basketball school playing football, and so
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: that alone. If you have the right coach, and he
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: is certainly the most accomplished coach they've had since Frank Beemer,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: you know you can win ACC championships.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: To do that, you're going to playoff, Yeah, including in
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: your own state. With Virginia arrival there basketball first. Even
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: without Tony Bennett, Alabama dropped six spots, Texas dropped seven.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Bunch of teams did move up one or two spots
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: along the way. Takeaways from Stuart Mandel on the college
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: football playoff rankings that were released yesterday. What jumped out
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: at you.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: I was surprised that Alabama dropped below Notre Dame because
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I think Alabama's resume is clearly better. They mentioned what's
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: SASM in general is that we had an unexpected switch
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: and committee chairman right now, right, you're a check from
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: and I've never seen a committee chairman over the course
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: of his teleconference talk more about losses about who team's
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: lost to. That's probably not what this is supposed to
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: be about. And so he's mentioning Alabama's lost sight had
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: lost to Florida State, It's like, well, that had already
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: happened by the time he did last week's rankings. When
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: you have the number four, why is it a concern now? Also,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's that big a deal because there's
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: a room for both of them. If Alabama wins out,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: they'll be in the playoff, I'm pretty sure. But the
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame situation is relevant because you're kind of putting
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: a buffer there where Alabama's going to get in the
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame's going to get in. And of course, the
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: big controversy that reees Davis Assina about off the bat,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: how can you not have Miami ahead of Notre Dame
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: head to head be saying, well, they're not really that close,
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: so we're not really invoking that yet you know, that
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: was the big takeaway from last night is that I
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: think Notre Dame's in better position than a lot of
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: people want them to be.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Things will take It always just feels like things do
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: take care of themselves. But you know, we'll see one
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of those things will happen, probably this weekend. What I mean,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: someone's well, maybe Oregon not done, but USC and Oregon
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a USC loss and they're certainly done as far as
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: college football playoff considerations concerned. Oregon tenuous if they're at
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: ten and two, if they finished the season at ten
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and too, they certainly can't lose the USC and Washington
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and that's how they finish off their season, do the Ducks.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: It's not the easiest schedule for sure. I'm gonna start
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: talking about schedule strength, But thoughts on USC Oregon because
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the maybe one of the, if not
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the biggest games this weekend.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do look at it as an elimination game
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: because the committee does not have Oregon high enough I
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: think to survive a loss, and in particular because they
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: might finish the season with no top twenty five wins.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: You know, I was there, Washington, was there at one point,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: but as possible, they would just have no top twenty
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: five wins and have lost to the two best teams
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: they faced, and certainly ex elimination game for USC. If
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: USC wins, that's a big win for Lincoln Riley, right,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: a big road win, and it puts them into the mix.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: But I don't know that you would yet say, oh,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: they're in the playoffs, and part of that is that
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: they will probably get boxed out by Notre Dame. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: don't that head to head result is more recent, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't.
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: That's that's one where I couldn't see them not honoring
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: the head to head you would need for USC, You
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: would need Notre Dame to move up a little bit
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: that they're hearned for you as well.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Uh is uh? Do you think Jed Fish is going
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: down to UCLA and the UCLA staff down there taking
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: an eye on a guy that has a history down
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: at us UCLA with the Huskies and UCLA this weekend?
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Is Hey, you're saying you can take a little campus.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: Store while there.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't know if the families, well,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I mean a family might come over from Arizona, right,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: weather's nice. Probably what wasn't that last weekend? It wasn't
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: fast in La. But yeah, that's who knows.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Right, it'd be a weird be a weird move. I mean,
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Washington's such a better job than UCLA at this point.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: You talk about, you know, Washington callery ducks in a row,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: UCLA does not. But I realized that that's not always
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: what is the determining factor. We'll see, But I don't.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: I don't. He hasn't done enough at Washington to me
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: yet to make it himn obvious. Yeah, you should go
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: hire this guy. That great season in Arizona and you've
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: turned that program around and he's off to a promising
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: starry at Washington. But I don't know that you've yet
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: seen I mean, that was constin loss.
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: Was bad.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: There's ane other way to put that. Now, Maybe if
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: they knock off boarding at the end of the year
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: and they're nine and three, say okay, that was a
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: really good season. But I don't know that we're quite
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: there yet.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Final thing for it. James Madison seems to be on
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the outside looking in the team the top team in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the Sun Belt, Wazoo goes there this weekend. Obviously, Wazoo
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: beats them, and that would eliminate any thought of James Madison.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: If James, who knows what Cougar team's going to show up?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: If it's the old Miss Virginia team, then I think
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: James Madison's in trouble. If it's not, then God knows
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. But is there any chance, any path
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: for James Madison to get that group of five that
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: at large berth in there or are they are we
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: looking at the American Conference winner instead?
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's such schedule strengths, just isn't in the same
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: ballpark as the American teams. And they asked about Tulane
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: last night. Julane has a win over Northwestern and a
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: win over Duke. I think that's probably a big part
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: of why they're that team. James Madison played one Power
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: fourteen Louisville and lost pretty handily. So that's the group
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: of five is often where you see the big difference
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: between the A people and the Committee, Like, if you
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: get to a certain record, no matter what conference here in,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: you'll eventually get into the A people, Whereas I think
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: the Committee is a lot more discerning about who did you.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Actually be Yeah, I mean it's looking at their schedule.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's they they Wazoo would be
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: their set, would be their best win maybe depending on
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: how wins up what it's all said and done, And
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: that's not saying much, Stuart. The audible people can get
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that where you get your podcast correct, Yeah, the.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Audible every Sunday morning, every Tuesday morning, every Thursday morning,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: wherever you get podcasts. Maybe we'll have to. You just
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: inspired me to look up, like how many different teams
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: could win their conference having beaton Washington State in their
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: non conference right, it's quite a few.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ole miss Old Virginia was there. Well, Virginia is
• 27:58

  Speaker 1: of Chris Taylor, who's the assistant coach runs power play,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm knowing forever. I think he's he knows what

• 30:31
  Speaker 1: what's a waste of seeing twenty seven out there on
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the power play? Mason Marchman, he's struggling. He is fighting
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: at something hard right now. Uh yeah, but anyway, Uh listen,

• 31:23
  Speaker 1: how to do a bad one.

  Speaker 1: Did they have one? Yes, they have because Americas do
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: greators do a great job with that. They do, because
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: they do. They do Eastern gunzag you. I think they
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: did an Oregon one this year and people were losing
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: their mind. And I said, again, I guess guess where
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the games are shown. Guess what a big fan base is.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: It's an organ and that's a great baseball state. So yeah,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: smart on their part. Who can take a deep breath
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and don't go Husky fane. A couple of weeks now,
• 32:31

• 32:36
  Speaker 6: sweaters showed up here at the home for the Kraken.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Martinez is not here. He did league meetings. He's already
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: been trying to go back and forth on the TV stuff.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: He's telling me he's busy and apparently MLB meetings take
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: precedence over this show. It does. Why Yeah, stupid. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: don't know what he's thinking. Anyway, we'll talk to Mike

  Speaker 1: Very good? Ready to rock and roll. We got a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: lot to get to, a lot to talk about today.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: We got to get to it. Let's do it. Uh hey,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: let mean look, we'll look back on that game in
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a second. I do want to throw this out at
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you real fast. So Shador Sanders is starting this week
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and obviously the name and everything like that involved, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you know, with with with him and the drama on
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: draft weekend, he you know, one of the things that
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: people kept, you know, as he struggled in his first game.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's four for sixteen, right, is that right?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Andrews four for sixteen in the first game when he
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: came in relief, and last week with the injuries, Mike,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I saw this written a lot, and I kind of
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I chuckled a little bit because say, well, that's how
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: it works in the NFL. But well, he didn't have
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: any snaps with the first team offense. Well, backup quarterbacks
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: don't do they Like, what did you typically do with
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: a backup quarterback? They didn't have first team snaps.
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: No, no, no, they ran the scout team, that's what
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: they did.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so this was no big I mean, that's
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: that's par for the course for an NFL team. Like, so,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: people say he hasn't got snaps yet, Well, you know,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that's how it works, right in the NFL. You your
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: starter takes the first you know, I think that's how
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: it works. I could be wrong.
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: No, that's exactly that's exactly how it works. No, I
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: put a smile on my face too. But you had
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: to know, or somebody had to know that when they
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: did this, when they made the decision to do this,
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: that's somewhere along the line, there'd be a lot of drama. Yeah,
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: you know, because it was really out there what happened.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: And the fact that they not only then they started
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: with all these quarterbacks I think they had five. Yeah,
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: and now they've all gotten hurt and everything. Now this
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: young man's playing. I hope he gets a chance to
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: play well, but it's tough. He has not he hasn't
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: practiced with with the guys. And you know better than anybody.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: You know. You you step in there and you're a
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: rookie and you haven't played much. He's seeing things he
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: hasn't seen yet, certainly not in practice. And so yeah,
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: it's it's but they had to know this, And don't you.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Think, Yeah, I think it's I think it's I mean, listen,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I not to get too harsh on your your former
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: employer of the Cleveland Browns, and I know names and faces,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and I think maybe even ownership has changed. But there's
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a reason. There's a reason that the Cleveland Browns at
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: some point right, there's a reason they are where they are.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: It's just that's the reality. It's you're you're an absolute
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: gong show on and off the field. And you know,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: like you said, five quarterbacks and guys that were getting
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: paid and you still have the Deshaun Watson nightmare to
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: deal with. You know, he's out for the year of achilles.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's why they that's why bad organizations say
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: bad for a long.
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: Time, right, Mike, Well, you know what that's true. And
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: I would say, you know, because my time there. While
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: I was there, I really enjoyed it, and I think
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: we were taking strides little by little and making things better.
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: Could not find a quarterback, but sometimes that takes time.
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: But we were making strides and the feeling in the
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: building was good. But then all of a sudden, you know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: things changed, but not only after I left. Then they
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: changed again the next year, and then they change again
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: the next year. And sometimes when you look at teams,
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: you know, it's not just the coach and the players.
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: What is ownership doing, How are they involuing themselves? What
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: is the front office doing? And the teams that can
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: work together. And I've always said and not worry about
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: who gets credit. Then those are the teams that are
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: successful in the NFL.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Well, when I'll get to the Hawks in a second.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Just I'm like with Shador. You know, Michael Pennox is
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: out for the season, which is a bummer. I just
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: he's got a torn a cl and you know we
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: all know his his knee injury history. H it's multiple now.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I think this is at least three maybe four our
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: last OFFTI when he comes in. You know, not being
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a Husky fan by any means, but uh, I got
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the chance to meet Michael Pennix a couple of times.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I really impressive young man. Liked him a lot, and
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I thought he would step into the NFL and just
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: be especially having a red shirt year last year. Really
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I mean he played the last couple of games, but
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd be really really good. He hasn't been. Uh,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: he struggled a little bit. When you look at quarterbacks
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: coming out of college and making that transition, what is
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the thing that they're missing the most college to pro?
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: Well, I think the level of competition. You know, you
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: say you're a great quarterback at Alaba or Michigan and
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: your team, your players on your college team are better
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: than the team most of the players they're playing against.
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: You get into the NFL and that's not the case.
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: You know, everyone's usually most everyone's pretty much equal, you know.
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: And then but you're going against as a quarterback, you're
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: going against defensive players that do stuff that you never
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: saw in college. That they are they are better players,
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: they're more talented. And then that you have to elevate
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: your game, and to do that in one year that's
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: almost impossible. In it's almost impossible. The idea of a
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: Dan Marino who did it when he was a fresh
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: freshman his first year in the league. That doesn't happen.
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: You know, it takes I always thought it took three years.
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: Joe Montana three years with the forty nine ers, Steve
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: Young three years you know after Tampa until he finally
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: got going far. You know, the guys I've been associated
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: with has taken one or two or three years. And
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: if they can stay with the same coach, the same
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: and the same system, that's another part of it. So yeah, Pennix,
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: bless his heart. You know, he's had multiple knee surgeries
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: and you just hope guy really liked him in college. Obviously,
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: I like how he plays. I hope he's going to
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: be okay.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder if that knee was bugging him even
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: before the final injury too. Like I just watched him
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: at air mail passes the other day a little bit
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: and stuff and like that. He never did that in college.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: But again, like you said, the competition was put in
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: from an offensive line that no one ever touched him,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: you know, best offensive line in the country and things
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, there is a transition. All right,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: let's transition to the Seahawks. They lose to the Rams. Mike.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Your assessment of Sam Darnold's twenty nine to forty four
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: two seventy nine, no touchdowns for interception day as quarterback
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks.
• 41:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I had on Monday when I came in or
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: when we did the show, I felt like I kind
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: of had to talk people off the ledge just a
• 41:56
  Speaker 9: little bit. I'm still Sam donald fan. Now. Did he
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: have a bad game, Yes, and the four interceptions, you
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: can make a case that was the game, okay, But
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: I don't think I don't think you're going to see
• 42:09
  Speaker 9: that again. You know, I think you learn from that.
• 42:13
  Speaker 9: And I've seen enough of how he plays to know
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: that he's going to jump back on it and learn
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: from this, But it was not a good game for him,
• 42:25
  Speaker 9: and I think, you know what I mean, I think
• 42:28
  Speaker 9: if I had had a chance to sit him down
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: and talk with him, he's trying to do too much.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: There are times where you live for another day and
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: you just have to throw the ball away, take a sack.
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: He's trying to make every play and that's admirable, except
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: it doesn't work in the league that way, It really doesn't.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I does he press too much? Does he?
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: Like?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Like McDonald said on Monday? Mike McDonald said on Monday
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: that that you know, like we've got to live for
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: another day, you know, know what's down and just you know,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: like sometimes just just throw it away, and he does it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was pressing too much because it was such
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: a big game, and of course that's Mike the reputation unfortunately,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and until he beats someone really good, he's going to
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: have that kind of hanging over his head, right, So
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: maybe he is pressing too much.
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think he is pressing too much. But you know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: if you're playing the position okay and you drop back
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: and people have never had to do that or had
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: the fun of doing it, The violence and the noise
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: and everything that's happening in three seconds right there is unbelievable,
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: It really is. And so you know, in your mind
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: you're saying, okay, here's my progression on two, three, four.
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: But then everything kind of breaks down. You got pressure
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: on you, you're about to get hit, and then your
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: mind you're in how your mind transferred that to how
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: you do it physically. You have to understand that and
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: learn that. When that happens, throw the ball away, you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: and if you see something, don't just throw it down
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: the field. You know. The old add is, don't throw
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: the ball late down the field in the middle.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: Don't do that.
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: And if you're rolling out to your left to throw
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: back to your right, it might you might hit one,
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: you know. And I listen, I'm an expert at this
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: because of Brett Farv. He would do the strain as
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: I go. You know, why do you do that? You know?
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: So you know, But then he learned. He really did learn.
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: And it takes a little time, but Sam knows better.
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: He does. He's playing in the lenk long enough now.
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: I want to see him eliminate those types of throws.
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: You know because you look at we've said it before,
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: you and I. He throws the ball, well, he really does,
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: He's got he's got a nice feel for that. It's
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: just when you're pressured. What do you do when you're pressured?
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing, right, and not just
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: pressure on the play, but maybe just the pressure of
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: the game, right, And and how are you going to
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: react to that? What would you you know, like, is
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: he just trying to make plays?
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: Then?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Is it just being I don't want to say it's
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: not careless? Is it almost being over aggressive? Is that
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: what you see?
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: No, I'd use the word you used you talk about first,
• 45:09
  Speaker 9: it's being careless. Okay, you know you're playing that position.
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: A lot's expected of you, excuse me, and you have
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: to understand that and you can't do that part of it,
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: not just throwing the ball or throwing the ball along
• 45:24
  Speaker 9: or sprinting out. Those are all good things, but then
• 45:27
  Speaker 9: your decision making, you can't be careless because then the
• 45:32
  Speaker 9: bad things happen. Interceptions happen. You know, a ball gets
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: knocked out of your hand, which is most often is
• 45:38
  Speaker 9: not his fault, but sometimes he's holding the ball a
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: little too long, you know, just put it away live
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: for another day.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Should mention to a grade, Isabel. That doesn't sound like
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: it's a serious injury, which is a good news for them.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: They need that left guard. He's played so well for
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: them this year. I'm sure Mike, you like me were
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: happy to see Ken Walker get sixteen carries sixty seven
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: yards on a touchdown. More important, certainly over over one
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: hundred yards in terms of total offense, because he also
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: had three catches for forty four yards, so they kind
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: of got him more involved in that game. Mike, you
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: and I have been yelling from the mountaintops for a
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: while to see Canine get more involved, right.
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's good. They listen to the radio show.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah they do. They do well. They listen to you.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: They don't listen to me. They listen to your show.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: So they tuned in Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for you.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: That's what they do.
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: No, So they were listening to us, and I was
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: happy to see it too. And you know, I mean
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: Charbonay get him as his time, yeah, you know, because
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: because Walker the way he plays, he needs to blow
• 46:36
  Speaker 9: every now and then. But let Walker give him the ball.
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: Let him, let him work.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was I thought it was good. Uh.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: They go to Tennessee this week, Mike, and I wonder, like,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: just obviously a bad football team. They're in the midst
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: of I guess, or rebuild, although they had the number
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: one pick last year. Rebuilds take more than a year.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: That's obvious as they sit there there, one and nine
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: are the Tennessee Titans. Seattle is a not just a
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: playoff contender, but a possible Super Bowl contender as well.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: You're coming off a really hard loss. I guess you
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: could be one of two things. This is a great
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: little way to go get right, get better, feel better,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: or boy, are you going to have an emotional letdown
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: playing on the road, not even at home, you're playing
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: on the road in Tennessee. What's the challenges that Mike
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: McDonald faces this week?
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: Well, I think there are challenges and you and I
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: think I mentioned this to you before. When you're in
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: Green Bay. We were ten to one playing in Indianapolis.
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: That was one in ten with their third string quarterback
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: and they beat US forty five to forty two. And
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: I never had to punt. It was the longest gain
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: more yards offensively than ever before, and but we lost
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: the game. Now, how does that happen? You know? And
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: really I was feeling awful, and I went into Fritz Sherman,
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: the defensive coordinator, first thing, Monday morning, not on the airplane,
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: first thing, money, any morning. We sat down, had a
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: little chat, how does this happen? You know? Because offensively
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: we played very well and there was a good example
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: of you have to get your team and the team
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: has to feel it every week, regardless of the opponent.
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: But I think your point, you know, your point is
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: well taken. There is a chance, there is they should
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: win this football game, right, you know, they're a better team.
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: They should win. But they better come and bring what
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: they've shown before, bring a lot of emotion and do
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: it that way and eliminate the mistakes on offense. And
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: I don't think Tennessee, I really don't think they have
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: much of a chance. But they have a chance.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing that would just like you
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: just chalk this up as a win. There's the human
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: nature of the player, Like, what's the message to the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: players in that room.
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the message is you play this game like any
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: other game. Every game is the same that way. Every
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: game is the same that way, and you got to
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: bring it otherwise they can beat you. And you might
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: have somebody you might have to say it a few times,
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: you know, and you might have to say it loudly.
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: But you know, this team and the way Mike has
• 49:16
  Speaker 9: set up his team, I would be shocked. I would
• 49:20
  Speaker 9: be absolutely shocked if they didn't play with the same
• 49:22
  Speaker 9: type of emotion that they've showed this season so far.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: You've been around Mike McDonald and all. I mean, he's
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: in his second year of all things, right, so it's
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: not like, you know, he hasn't been around for it forever.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: He's still learning this head coaching thing. But every time
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: I hear you speak, it feels like you have the
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: confidence that even though he's young in his tenure. Was
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: it so seventeen games twenty he's twenty seven games into
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: his NFL head coaching career, Yeah, but you feel like
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: he has the building. He'll make his team follows that lead,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: He'll have that message sent loud and clear.
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I think I think that's a real strength of his.
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: You know, you look at the way his defense that
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: he's in charge of, yeah, plays and they play their emotional.
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: They do a lot of different things. They've substituted because
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: if guys got getting hurt and they've responded beautifully, so
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: he has that effect. Now as far as the offense goes,
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: I think he's kind of kicked that over to Clint.
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: Obviously Mike's going to take charge as the head coach,
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: but Clint does that, so you know, but yeah, I
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: believe he does. He knows how to do that, and
• 50:31
  Speaker 9: they the players, believe that he does and they respond
• 50:34
  Speaker 9: to him.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Last thing for you, I wrote this down the other day, souse,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you. I asked Hugh Millan about
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: it as well, and McDonald did address it on Monday. Boy,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: like we're watching it. Got a bunch of guys over.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: A kid and a bunch of his buddies were over
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: a watch in the game that those last especially the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: last two. The last drive jumps out because the guy
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: hits the punt that's unbelievable to the half inch line.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's yeah, it's like a golfer hitting a
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: hole in one and then some right that happens. But
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: even then that drive, the drive before that as well,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: where they scored and all of a sudden, we've got
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: a game, Mike. It felt like there was really no
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: sense of urgency whatsoever. And I asked Hugh about that Monday.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Hughes said, well, I can guarantee you this darnold was
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: ready to go. He's waiting for the play to come in.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: It used to be different like in that situation, Brett
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: would just call the plays right because you didn't have
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: a little green dot. You weren't talking in as ear
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: has this world. The green dot changed things because it
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: just felt like it was real. They left a lot
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: of seconds on the time table.
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: Well, you know what it is. Excuse me if you
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: you don't in that situation. You're not necessarily calling plays
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: unless the clock stops. From the sideline. You know, here's
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: the series, here's our two minute offense, here are the
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: five plays you have, you call it, you get them going,
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: and you don't call it from the sideline. But you
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: have talked to your quarterback while they're waiting to go
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: on the field about what is going to happen out there.
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: And I didn't He was right, Obviously I didn't see that.
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: But that's I think that's how you should do it.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it felt like opportunity lost along the way.
• 52:06

  Speaker 8: the Sports Book Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: Sports Radio ninety three point three.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: kJ R FM two oh six. I'm the only one
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: that's concerned that a pension program is investing in college.
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's what they do. They invest in stuff. Yeah,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: you're watching the show Billions. I had not. It's part
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: of what Yeah, they did that all got it? Okay,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I'm an expert. Now let's see what else you've got
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: going on? Two five three, Getting rid of dead money
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: and expiring contracts like thirty four million. So even signing
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: jan we still need to spend Yeah, yes, yeah. My
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: only My only complaint enters with the baseball thing right
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: now is anytime you hear about the money and the spending,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: it's self imposed. So you, as an ownership group, the
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: reason you won't, the reason you say it's one hundred
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: and fifty or whatever it might be, whatever your payroll
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: is going to be one hundred, sixty hundred, seventy two hundred, whatever,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: whatever might be, it's because you don't want to cut
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: into your profits.
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: It's not has nothing to do with a rule that
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: the league has put on you. Yes, so it just
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: to me, the discussion revolves around how you want to
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: view it as a fan. Do you want to view
• 55:08
  Speaker 7: it as that's unacceptable to me, they need to spend
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: more money. I think most people would agree with that,
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: or do you want to just kind of accept that
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: that's the parameters that this team's operating under, and how
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: do we best maximize the team this window with those
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: self imposed restrictions.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Saying losing Geno doesn't potentially hurt you as silly the
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: guy hit fifty plus home runs hundred ten RBIs. Yeah,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: he was a star power excellent for the two months
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: we had him, but he had an offensive force over
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: average the last several years. Re Sign him at a
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: discount them all for that you should be too. I
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: actually tend to agree with that. Texter, to be honest,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I would say, if you can sign him in it
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: and again the discount of getting down. I don't want
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: to contradict myself, but yeah, at a discount because you
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: don't want to spend X amount of money, Yeah, doesn't
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: limit you from doing something else. Age. That's the thing,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: yea his age. If you feel like you need to
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: get Williamson in there for whatever reason, even if he
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: can't hit. What Gino's strikeout rates not good? Right? Like
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: that great? I mean he always has been that way.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: His defense has gone back a little bit.
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: It's it's still i'd say average ish and his bat's
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: still above average. We'll see how much that regresses in
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: the following year. And I do worry about that. I mean,
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: he had a massive year. He did massive year.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Any in a good year last year to everyone.
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: Like the whole reason the Mariners traded him is because
• 56:34
  Speaker 7: they expected him to kind of fall off a Cliff.
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: He has defied that these past two years.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Well, and the reason they traded for him is he
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: got an expiring contract too. Correct traded for him. I'm saying,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: trade him away too. And the reason they brought him
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: back he can't expire a contract. They weren't. They weren't
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: they hold it right, They weren't going to be behold
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: into like four more years of massive regression.
• 56:53
  Speaker 7: So if you get like one, if you get a
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: one year deal of like fifteen million, twelve to fifteen million,
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: I think I signed that up right.
• 56:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Again, it's their money and it's coming out of their profits.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: If as long as it doesn't prevent you from doing
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: something else to make you better, right, I would prefer
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Polanco over Suarez, and I think I think that's what
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I said, Yeah, yeah, yeah, And and Jerry back the
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: way he's talked about it, Polanco is a priority. He
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: worries me a little bit though, too, because like injuries,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a similar situation like both those Yeah,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: both those guys. Again, it would worry me more if
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: it was a salary cap league. It doesn't matter. I
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: have to kind of get out of the NFL slash
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: NHL mind mind thing like, well, you can't give that
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: guy that because you're stuck with that. It's gonna hurt
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: your cap and blah blah blah, the contract's not going
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to age. Well, it doesn't matter. It just it's but
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: that's how they operate. But that they operate like a
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: salary cap team. Yes, and almost every team does, let's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: be honest, right, Yeah, no, No, you got to budge.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: It's a budget. You work up within a budget, whatever
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: your budget is. Now again, every team's making money, so
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: telling the average fan that they can't afford it when
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: they're spending money for tickets and everything else is nonsense.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: That's wrong. It's total nonsense.
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I hope Gino comes back good vibes only, I just
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to view him as a priority.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: And I think they can. I think they can improve
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: themselves elsewhere if need be.
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: But I was gonna just in terms of the position,
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: I would say I feel more comfortable with Cole Young
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: at second base than I do Ben Williams in a
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: third Yeah. So like, if you're talking, just position has
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: got to be a d H right, Yeah, And that's
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: the thing that he has to hit to get value.
• 58:30
  Speaker 7: Gino could still play every day third base, and even
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: if he regresses offensively, he'll be at least an.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Average if they were to sign him for one or
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: two years. Say like, but just I'm just looking at
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: this next year's payroll. Yeah, say ten to eleven million, easy, Yes,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: anything below fifteen. Polanco I'd say around the same, but
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit less, depend because he has some
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: injury history and you know you're pushing one hundred and
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: eighty million per year. Yeah, are they willing to do that?
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Are they willing to do that? I don't know. I'm
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: asking that retort. I'd say it's one of the two. Okay,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: let's get Factor fiction. Of cour's that to go glad
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: you're with us.
• 59:03
  Speaker 8: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
• 59:07
  Speaker 8: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every Day Feels Lucky.
• 59:17
  Speaker 8: Fact Door Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
• 59:20
  Speaker 8: three KJR.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: FM, Anderson Hurst has today's pick. Factor Fiction, brought to
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: by the Lucky Ego Casino Hotel, every Day Feels Lucky.
• 59:31
  Speaker 7: Go all right, I'm just making sure that This has
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: not been picked yet, and I don't see it, and
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: I like it. I am not usually someone to do
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: over unders, No, I am usually like I don't like
• 59:43
  Speaker 7: to predict how a game plays out. I like to
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: predict who will win because I think they're the better team.
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: But this one seems very low for me. I'm gonna
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: go Seattle at Tennessee over thirty nine and a half.
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: I think it's the lowest over under that I'm seeing
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: for this weekend's slate of NFL. I know Seattle is
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: a really good defense, and I know Tennessee has a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: really bad offense. But I see Seattle going the blowout
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 7: route in this game. I see Sam Donald trying to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: be like really like show everyone that he's not the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 7: guy that you saw last week. He's gonna put up
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: some points. And like we saw in the previous three
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 7: weeks before the Rams, with the Cardinals, with the Jaguars
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: and with the Commanders, this game might be over by
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: halftime and then they kind of coast to the finish
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: line and Tennessee might score a couple garbage touchdowns.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking at Tennessee during the course of their scores,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: during the course of the u's low, but they give
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: up a lot. Yeah they do. They've given up thirty
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: plus one, two, three, four times twenty seven and twenty six,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: so six times they're in that where you just need
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: something else to happen. The problem is they've also been
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: shut out this year once. But I think you're right,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: garbage time, you could get it. You know, it's happened
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: multiple times. Yeah, let that happen. I like that's a
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: really low number. Thirty nine and a half for really
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: really well. So miss Seattle scores thirty points against bad
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: teams in first half? Yeah, yeah, so maybe they do
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: that this week.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: Four touchdowns in the first half, twenty eight nothing. Now
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: you're just eleven. You're twelve points away from a win.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: I like it. Fact four nine four or five to
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: one fiction four nine four or five one text in
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: right now factor fiction brought to you by the lucky
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: you because youino and hotel every day feels lucky. Yeah.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: So over thirty nine and a half and a half,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: I like it all right, and again this is a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: better over under, more fun because you're rooting for Seattle.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Score po Yeah, let's go blow them out. Yeah, what
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: if it's like fourteen fourteen and a half. Cool, we're
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: well on the way for that. But yeah, I was
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: gonna say, well, the problem is now, I think I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: tend to agree with long Red. I think that Sea
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: How's gonna just mic. These are Mike's words in my words. Yeah, well,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I tend to agree with Mike.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: I think they're gonna kick their ass and I think
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald's out to prove something.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, I would tend to agree. I think they're gonna
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: go take care of a one to nine team rather
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: easily and then move on and uh and get ready
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: for his Minnesota next week. I believe right, So yes, yeah,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: all right. Factor fiction brought to you by the Lucky ucas.

  Speaker 7: Is Seattle at Tennessee over thirty nine and a half.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: You're rooting for points. That's a good thing. Yeah, I
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: can't feel you can you do? Only feel dirty about that? Oh,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: by the way, I have one more text for you.

  Speaker 5: Uh oh, my.

• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: You just don't like Edmonton as a whole, correct, you

  Speaker 10: Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: We're just asking soft the other very important questions. So
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: you don't know what time the Husky game with Oregon is, Oh, it's.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 11: If Oregon beats USC, the feeling is the game will
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 11: be at twelve thirty, okay, And if USC beats Oregon,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 11: the feeling is the game will be at four thirty
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 11: because whoever wins gets the twelve thirty slot on CBS.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: On CBS correct, the other one's a big ten network, correct, and.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 11: Then the loser of that game will be relegated to
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: NBC at four thirty on Saturday.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 9: Gotcha.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 11: I can't decide which one I want to be totally honest.
• 1:05:31

• 1:05:33
  Speaker 11: something to be said for the four thirty kid getting
• 1:05:35

• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: in the conversation that JAMU is in right now, or
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: group of five and all that, But right now you're

  Speaker 11: where this team was when Caitlyn took would be huge.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Let me do it. Where's Dick at? Find me? Dick Bard?
