  Speaker 1: A six ninety five ninety five. You can start calling

  Speaker 1: in later in the hour. Don't call it now. We're

  Speaker 1: not going to answer your phone call now. Just relax.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But hereas up twenty minutes.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Usually that's about when I start to tolerate phone calls
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: coming in.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not quite, not quite at one oh five,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: but two o'clock we'll have him on as well. All right,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing. We got into this a little
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: bit yesterday, and I don't know, maybe I care more
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: than nothing of the average person. Andrews, you're a huge
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: baseball fan of the three of us, the biggest baseball
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: fan here on this. So the Major League Baseball came
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: out yesterday with its TV deal sort of and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: all time for a story. Here's what Marriner fans need
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to know. Well, they didn't tell us anything, because here's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: what the Mariners did send me thanks to my friend
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Tim Heavily. Next year, Marriors games will be available through
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: MLB streaming platform and traditional TV providers, as announcedayed by
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: MLB and at ESPN. Fans may also have the option
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to watch games via the ESPN app in the future.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We look ford to sharing additional information as details are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: finalized this spring. So really we don't know what's going on.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And addition, like when it says traditional, that means basically
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you're you know, like games on the ESPN, cable TV, yeah, NBC. Whatever.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Would be Joe she and our guy Joe Sheen and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we will get them on at some point next week
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to talk about this. He wrote a story today. You
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: go to Joe Shean dot com. I will go read
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it there and it goes through the entire process and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: what's going on and what happened, and he gets pretty
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: deep into the weeds. But I thought this was an
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: interesting tidbit in there. Yankee fans, for example, we'll have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to search eight different options, including three streamers to find
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: their games next one eight eight eight eight. So here's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: who's Here's who's airing Yankee games next season. The Yes
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Network they still have an RSN, so the S Network,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, Apple TV, ESPN, Netflix, the Nbcpacock, Fox, and TBS.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Those were just the Yankees. That's where their game is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: going to be next season. Now, if you go through that,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think you could probably take okay, you take yes
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out of it, but there's in theory a chance that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a Mariner game could be on seven different options next season.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Sure think about that. Yeah, right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So the long and the short of it from Joe
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just a great story. He brought this up, and I'm
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you, guys a question. We're not going to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: be able to get text in today, so I want
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to get back and circle back to this next week
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: because we do fantasy today, so it's hard to get
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to get actual things in there. But I'll ask you
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to guys, Jes even though you do everything illegally, but it's.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: A great area Ian, it's a great.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Nobody needs to know that they don't know where you live.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You're fine. Nevertheless, you know one of the things Joe
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: mentioned in there is that ESPN they sold MLB TV
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: or MLB sold MLB TV to ESPN. Yes, yeah, even
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: though ESPN was trying to get out of the baseball business.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But interesting, but there was The interesting part of it
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is is MLB said, we still need to be part
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of ESPN. At some point, as Joe pointed out, it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: going to roll into maybe not next year, but at
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: some point it's going to roll into a very similar
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: model that we have with the NHL, where you might
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: have a game here or there. Now, the NHL has
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a deal where they have games of the week. It'sday
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I believe it is Wednesday, and then Wednesday are the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: tn T games if I'm not mistaken right, and so
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they do have that deal going. But the NHL, basically
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you can watch all the NHL games on the ESPN Plus. Okay,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: so you can do that. I think at some point
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you'll see a lot more of that with MLB, right
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: like it'll roll that into the ESPN Plus package. But
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: maybe not right away there Maybe you're gonna have to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: pay extra. Here's a thing. What I just said, You're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: going to have to pay extra, okay, real quick with
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ESPN it's better. And the NHL knows this better than
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: anybody you know who also knows it because they're no
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: longer part of it is MLS. You want to be
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a part of ESPN, even if you're just on the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: ESPN plus app, even if you're just just give me something, ESPN,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: give me some sort of relationship distance cousins, kind of
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like the ugly step sister. Doesn't matter what it is,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just you need. Like the NHL got away from ESPN
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: for many years and it hurt them tremendously, and their
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: games aren't highly rated. Their National Games of the Week
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: aren't highly rated on ESPN necessarily, but they're still part
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of the ESPN family. You can still find stuff on
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the ESPN. It's whether we like it or not. They're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: still the Juggernaut, there's still the five hundred pounderrella. You
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: want to be with them, period, end of story. MLB
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: understands that. That's why they sold MLBtv to ESPN, so
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they're still part of the ESPN Disney family. You're never
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: going to be the NFL and you're never going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: be the NBA. In the eyes of Bristol, Connecticut, that's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: just that's the reality. Of it, but you still want
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to be a part of it. MLS, I'm talking to you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: That's what hurts you as much as anything. We start
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: coming out from behind the paywall, but that hurt you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: tremendously not ever being part of them. So the question
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is what would you pay? Because we were getting so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Andrews tells us last year one twenty right for if
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't have root. I had it rolled into my package,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: so I had no idea it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Was twenty dollars per month, and then it just do
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: the math. That's six months, that's one hundred and twenty bucks.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So we're the rumors are what we're hearing is it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: going to be right around one hundred and fifty a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: year for Merria games. Would you pay that? It's twenty
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: five bucks a month? Twenty five bucks to me, that's fine.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the drop dead number is. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'll ask you, Andrews first, what's your drop to I mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you're a baseball fan, You're probably going to pay whatever.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Right, I kind of have to. I may my mirror's postcast,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I have to watch over game. So in terms of
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: just for me personally, and let's take my work out
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: of it. If I was just you know, wanting to
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: consume fan as a fan exactly, I'd probably put it
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: at forty to fifty bucks a month. I wouldn't pay
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: more than that. So it's it's quite a bit more,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: honestly than what it is now. So I think the
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty dollars To answer your question, is
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: is more than worth it for me to get the
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: full season of stuff?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Jess, what do you think.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's worth it for me? Honestly? A one hundred what's.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: The number that what's the number that makes you makes
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you kind of like uneasy?
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Two hundred?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: That is where I would start to say, now I'm
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: going to consider that, is this really worth it?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: So yeah, two hundred would be my that's the line
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: in the stand.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if we get to that number
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in a couple of years. I wouldn't either, honestly, And
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying just here. I think it's just because
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of the model that's taking place. You still have Yes
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: network in New York you get Nessen and in Boston,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: in the Boston area. You know, I think, what is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: whatever the Dodgers Dodgers have a weird deal to what
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they they have kind of a what's their strength? I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: don't even know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: But SNY is the Mets.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are some regional sports networks out
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: there still, but that's the problem is that those things
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: have gone away again. I'm sitting here at one that
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I see people this it sucks. I'm spotting. Yeah, there's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: people literally packing up boxes today, like at their cubicles.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It's awful. Like this is the the RSN model is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting in it right now today doing a show.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And what it is is it's it's no longer existent.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't outside of those two or three massive
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: markets we talked about, it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: make sense, it doesn't. It's it's out of business. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so we'll talk about this. Maybe we get
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Joe on next week. So I think it's a fascinating
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: topic because I listen to the Mariners were bothered by
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I bothered them too much. Tim, I love you man,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, appreciate you. I kept what the hell tell me?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They just don't know the exact specific yet. They just don't.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And it's interesting because they are going to be benefiting
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: from one thing. They're coming off a great year, coming
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: off a great year. So if you were coming off
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a seventy wins season, be a hard sell. Oh yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a hard sell. Oh yeah, right, it'd be a hard sell.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You're coming off of, you know, an ALCS appearance and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they just resigned Josh Naylor. Hell, this would be there.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You should charge two hundred bucks. Yeah, you could probably
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this is either you could get two hundred bucks, no
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. Okay, we'll tell you break come back.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Lots to get to at the Seahawks. Huge weekend coming
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: up for them. Uh, it should be a relatively easy weekend,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but every weekend is huge from here on out because
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you cannot afford to lose certain games. This would be
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: one of those. We'll talk to our guy, Corbyn Smith
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: from Emerald City Spectrum next.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: It's time to take a deep dive into all things
• 8:39

• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Ian We enjoy these conversations on Thursdays here at one
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: twenty in the afternoon during the NFL season, our chance
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to catch up with Corbyn Smith Emerald City Spectrum. Of course,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: all things Seahawks there, Hello, sir, how are you?
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: I'm good, Thanks for having me as always.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And I mentioned all things Seahawks, Emerald City Spectrum. It's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: all things sports. As I look up here, I see Seahawks, Mariners,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Cracking Sounders, Storm Huskies, Cougar's, Gonzaga, Sea Wolf's Rain Torrent.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got it all, buddy, You got it
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: all right up there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: That's what we're trying to do. We're trying to live
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: up to the mission statement.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: We'll get to subscription information in a second at the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: end when we're done. But let's uh, well, let's look
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: back and then we'll look ahead. Corbin looking back, you,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the game itself spoke volumes a lot of ways.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: There's there's so many storylines. Obviously, Sam Darnold, the injury
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to Gray's Abel that appears not to be significant. The
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: defense for Seattle stepping up in a big way. Back
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and forth we went. Despite everything, you have a chance
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to win at the end. Maybe some poor clock management
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: on that last drive, which Mike McDonald mentioned. I don't
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: know where we start, Corbyn. Your main takeaways from ram
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Seahawks Part one.
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: Well, my main takeaway is I don't expect to ever
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: see Sam Darnald play that bad again, and you lost
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: by two points.
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: That's my main takeaway.
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: I mean, the defense was absolutely fantastic, and Matthew Stafford,
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: I know he had two touchdown passes, but they held
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: into one hundred and thirty passing yards in this game,
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: and basically after the first quarter, with the exception of
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: another short field that they were handed on one of
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: those picks by Darnald. I mean, they just shut down
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: an offense that has been scoring at will on everybody.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: So that defense looks every bit like a championship caliber group.
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: I thought Sam Donald made some really good throws light
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: in the game that helps Seattle have a chance to
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: win that one. Obviously the mistakes he made were killer,
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: but again, I don't see any way that he's going
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: to play that bad again, and you still had a
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: chance to win that football game.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Did anything change with your opinion on either of those
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: two teams? And let me preface that by saying, I
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: went into it last week and talking to Greg Cosell, you, Hugh,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: others we talked NFL with during the week. I thought
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: going into last week that these may be the two
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: best teams in the NFC, and maybe two of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: best three or four in the NFL as a whole.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I came out of that thinking the exact same thing,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: even with that low scoring game. But did it change
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: anything for you in terms of how you perceived both
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the Rams and or the Seahawks.
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: No, it didn't because you saw and this is what
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: championship teams do.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: Championship teams find.
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: A way to get close or find a way to
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: pull a game out, and the Seahawks did that. You
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: got to give the Rams credit for what they did defensively,
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: disguising coverages and catching Sam gardaloff guard. They got a
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: little more sure than other teams have been able to
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: get on him and that ended up making.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: Him pay for it a little bit.
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: So I think you saw two complete teams. Both teams
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: had good running games at times in this one as well.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: I mean, I just think you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: Saw the two most complete teams in the NFC, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: even though they got to that twenty one nineteen score
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: with some weird things going on, including the interceptions by Darnald,
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: you still saw so many things that tell you why
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: these teams were advertised the way they were going into
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: this first matchup.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Corbyn, is it okay? Is it okay? Is it? Is
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it legitimate to truly question Sam Darnald in big game
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: situations given what happened at the end of last season
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and now really this first massive test this year.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: I don't even know if it's questioning him in big games.
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: I think it's questioning him against Chris Shult that seems
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: to be the kryptonite for him.
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: The last two years. I mean, there were some pretty
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: good teams that he put up big.
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: Numbers against last year with Minnesota Vikings, and those two
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: games against the Rams just completely imploded what it had
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: been a totally changed narrative. So look, Klink, Kubiak and company,
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: they've got to do a few things to try to
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: help Sam Donald out in that regard. Looking back at
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: what the Rams have done to him in those three
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: matchups and I thought what they did late getting a
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: lot of the quick passing game, including the running backs
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: involved if you went Ken Walker to the third I
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: wrote an article about this yesterday.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: Ian if you want to get him.
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: More carries, more touches, I don't necessarily think that getting
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: more in the run game is.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Necessarily where you do that.
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: He has got one of the highest epas per target
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: among running backs in the NFL. Get him in space
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: and those are most likely not going to be the
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: same wear and teared type of carries or touches that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: You're going to get in the run games.
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: So you can withstand some of the durability questions a
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: little better and still make him more of a weapon
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: getting him involved in passing him, and it felt like
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: the Rams were just giving them that. So things like
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: that that I think late in the game you saw
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: some adjustments that finally started to click, but it was
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: just a little too little, too late, and they couldn't
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: get that last field goal. So I don't even know
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: if it's a big game Sam thing. It's literally the Rams.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: The Rams have been his kryptonite, so they got to
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: figure out how to try to help him out in
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: that regard.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Walker for a second, as you wrote in
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: your article, and we'll see Spectrum dot com Walker fourteen
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: passes caught this season. He had forty six last year.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: He's well well well below that pace. But corbyin how
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: efficient is and I've man, I swear I watched these
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: games on Sunday and I'm thinking the same thing. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: can Ken Walker get the ball in his hands third down.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I know there's a blocking element to third down situations,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: but if you're gonna throw a quick screen or something,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: find the running back or even god forbid, runner wheel
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: route Sunday or something, Walker has to be your guy.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they've just got to get him more involved.
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: That was the entire argument there, And I think Mike
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: McDonald kind of looking at the answer game. But Monday,
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: I think a lot of people looked into that, Oh
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: there's gonna be a change of the guard in the
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: backfield in terms of carries.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: I don't necessarily expect that that is gonna change.
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: Charbonay has been very effective in the red zone, so
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: I don't think you're gonna see a big shift in
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: that regard. But I think Mike McDonald, you look at
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: the middle of his response was talking about the passing game.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: He understands how.
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: Valuable it is to have a guy like Ken Walker
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: who can make a guy miss in space and then
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: take it to the house and think about the Shanahan
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: style offense over the years, even though one in San Francisco,
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: how much they use Christian McCaffrey in the passing game.
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: Mike Shanahan used the Broncos running backs a lot back
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: in the day in the passing game. Even Sean mcvay's version,
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: they throw the ball quite a bit to Kyron Williams.
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: This has been one thing that I think has been
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: missing for Clint Kopiak in this offense that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: They need to get back to a little bit.
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: And it just puts a lot more stress on the
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: defense when you have a running back that can create
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: major mismatch issues like that one on one against linebackers
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: and safeties.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So just to make you miss is one thing, But
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: maybe go deeper into tell explain the explosive runs and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: what we need and how much better Walker is at that. Well.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: I think a lot of it is just a quick
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: twitch I mean is that sharbona ran in the four
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: to four, So it's not like Sharbon a is a
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: slouch for an athlete, but he doesn't have the ability
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: to go from neutral into full acceleration the way that
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: ken Walker Third has. And that's probably what's been most
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: frustrating about some of the vision stuff and not reading
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: things correctly and being two bounds happy. Because ken Walker
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: is one of those very rare running backs that he
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: can make that one cut in a dime and take
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: off and outrun everybody. There's just not very many guys
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: in the league, against the athletes you're playing on.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: Defense, that can do that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: That's not to say that Sharbone again, he's not a
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: slouch as an athlete, but he is not gonna be
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: able to kick it up to the same year, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: he's not gonna be able to do it as quickly
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: as what ken Walker the Third can.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Honestly, there might be four or five running.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Backs in the league that have that type of gear,
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: and that's why it's been frustrating at times.
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: They haven't been able to fully unlock him since his
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: rookie year.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: But I think using him in the passing game more
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: is a way that you can generate more of those
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: potential explosives while also not risking giving him too many
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: carries and getting him beat up.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: Which has been an issue in recent years.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: It is corporusmith Neralcy Spectrum joining Us. Brought to you

• 17:31
  Speaker 1: house in the Greater Seattle area sold by Jim to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: MS dot com. Corbyn the running or the line situation,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it could have been worse. Gray's abel is not season ending.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing we won't see him this week buying d
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: NP yesterday. But let's let's look ahead a little bit.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Christian Haines came in and played left guard. They have
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a right guard problem. Still. They can't fix it this
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: week because Haynes is probably gonna play left guard. Do
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you see a sending in which Christian Haynes, even though
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: he didn't quote win the job in training camp, can
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: go back and find his way into the starting lineup
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: over Anthony Bradford.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: I know that fans are not gonna like Some fans
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: are not gonna like this answer.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: I don't see that happening.
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: Unless Bradford just completely implode and Haines comes in and
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: looks like a pro bowler out there, I think it
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: would have to be something that stark, because I think
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: this team, it's been pretty evident so far, they want continuity.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: They want the same group out there, even if there's
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: I mean, every offensive line's got a weakest link, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: you're just hoping that that weakest link is not one
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: that's gonna drag down your offense, which they've been able
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: to survive even with some of the issues that Bradford's had.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: So if Haines goes out and plays really well for
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: a game or two in Zabel's plays and Bradford continues
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: to struggle, then maybe that discussion opens up. But it
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: just seems like Mike McDonald and John Benton and company
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: there they're not necessarily wanting to at this stage of
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: the season, just starting mixing and matching guys in the
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: offensive line.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: They view the chemistry thing is more important right now.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Cormack, how can they use Rashid Shiheed more?
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: Just get the ball into his hands when he's open.
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: sound like I'm oversimplifying things. But I posted the throw
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: that he that Sam Donald made to him on that
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: deep ball the right end zone. That ball Donald completes
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: nine out of ten times, but for whatever reason in
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: that game, he just wasn't. The balls that field just
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: were not slinging out of the tand the way they
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: normally do, and he wasn't getting the air underneath them.
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: So he saw some glimpses. They got a twenty one
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: yard pass to him. They're trying to get him involved
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: in the run game. It feels like that is something
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: that you just get another game or two here where
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: Sam Donald can really build that chemistry with him.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: Gotta remember there, they're getting to know each other in the.
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: Middle of the season, that he's gonna get used to
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: the speed and he's gonna be able to hit this
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: receiver and stride. So I don't even necessarily think it's
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: issue of how they're trying to get him involved and
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: things like that. It's just they just got to be
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: more efficient and that connection's got to continue developing so
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: that when they do take those shots, they start to
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: land at his hands and not get knocked away because
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: they're thrown.
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: Short of the target.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: This week, Tennessee is on the horizon a one win
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Tennessee team. Quick glance here offensively, total yards per game,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: thirty second, total yards per play thirty first rushing yards
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: thirty second rushing yards per play, twenty six, passing yards
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: thirty passing yards per play thirty one. I think people
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: get get my point there. Offensively not a good football team.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at their defense Corbin and some
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: of the rankings there. Yeah, twenty four, twenty six, twenty six,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: twenty four, twenty seven to twenty three. Oh, they're a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: little bit better on defensively because they're not dead last
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and everything. This sometimes are the games that feel like
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: trap games. This honestly doesn't or does it. Is there
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a potential for Tennessee to cause some problem this week?
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: I think any given Sunday, I mean, I know that
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: may sound cliche, but we've seen some big upsets this
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: year where teams have been able to knock teams off,
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: and Tennessee I think has two things.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: That could potentially work for them.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: The first one is, especially if grays Abels out playing
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: this game, you've got Jeffrey Simmons, who I think is
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: a top three, top four defensive tackle in the National
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: Football League. Devandre Sweat is a good young player that's
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: next to him. They've got a couple other reserve dts
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: that can cause some problems too. Their interior d line
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: could make things tough long Seattle's offense. If the Seahawks
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: are not able to weather the storm with the injuries.
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: They've got it guard and center right now, So that
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: is the first thing that could maybe be an equalizer.
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: And the second thing is the improvisation skills for cam
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: Ward now hasn't really worked out for him this year,
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: in part because they've had so many injuries, they've had
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: coaching turnover. But you've seen cam Ward play and you
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: know what he's capable of doing as far as getting
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: out of the pocket or stepping up in the extending plays.
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: And they've got a couple decent tight ends, which the
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: Seahawks have occasionally had issues defending this year. So those
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: are the two things that would tell me that maybe
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: Tennessee if they are able to get enough protection and
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: cam work and hit on a few plays where he's
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: extending things and the tight ends are a problem, they
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: could hang around, especially if on defense the Seahawks are
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: having a hard time blocking the defensive interior, and Jeffrey
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: Simmons and company are messing up the game plan. Otherwise,
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: Seattle should be able to win this one comfortably because
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: this is a team that's got a lot of injury issues.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: They're playing fourth and fifth string.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: Quarterbacks, they're receivers, they're playing practice squad guys.
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: Calvin Ridley's nowt out for the season.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: I mean they this team is decimated and they didn't
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: have much talent to begin with.
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I just think this is a game you got to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: put away early, you know, like it just get it
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: done with.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: You squashed the bogg in.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just be done with it and you know, write
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: some ills from last week and then maybe rest a
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: few guys if you can. I know it's hard with
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster and game deactivations and all
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: those things, but I just just get out of this one.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I quick fought for me before I wrap it up.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Corbyn big game as well this week in the National
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Football League on Sunday Night Football, because the Seahawks will
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be glancing at this one as the flying back home
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: or landing in Seattle Buccaneers and Rams on Sunday Night
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: big game there. Bucks have not looked like the same
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: team that we saw in Seattle Rams coming off that
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: big win. But boy, if you're a Seattle fan, a
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: big you're rooting hard for the Buccaneers on Sunday.
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: And the Bucks, I mean, I'm not gonna say that
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: it's desperation time, but the Carolina Panthers are hovering right
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: behind them now in the NFC South because they've lost their.
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: Last two games.
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: They desperately need a big win, not just to stay
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: in the running for one of the top seeds, but
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: to try to fend off Carolina and the Panthers. They
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: seem like they're kind of one of those teams that's
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: descending a little bit here right now. So look, the
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: Rams are not going to be sleeping on these guys,
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: especially lacause Baker Mayfield has played some great games against
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: them in the past. But yeah, Seahawk fans should be
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: absolutely rooting for the Bucks relentlessly to.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: Win this game.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: And you know, Buck fans are going to be desperate
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: for that win because it's been a few weeks since
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: they were on the right end on the scoreboard.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're and if they lose that game, just based
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: on the tiebreakers, they would actually only be tied at
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: six and five. Caroline off with the bye, I believe,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: but they also have the issue with the with the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: conference record in Tampa or Carolina is better off there too,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens big game Sunday night. Corma
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: tell people about Emerald City Spectrum.
• 24:36

• 28:59
  Speaker 1: here a couple of weeks ago in Seattle, three to one.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Andre Berkowski the only goal for the Blackhawks, and that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: game the former Seattle Cracking Chicago won a little bit
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of a heater Right now, Anders not liking this at all.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: They are playing good hockey. First six game point streak
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: that the Blackhawks have had since two thoy and nineteen,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: they're five oh and one in the last six games,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: like the heyday almost right, kind of the end of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the hate, kind of the end of the heyday basically
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: is what that was. They've got points in fourteen of
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: their last eighteen games as well. They're ten four and
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: four in that stretch man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're They're
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: right up there in terms of the least goals against
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: in the league. They're forty eight, which is number four
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: in the league.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I think they're up there for goals four as well.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: They are, they are. It's a little bit of a
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: little bit of a scary game tonight. This team is
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: playing better hockey than we saw them last a couple
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Seattle. You know what they always stay
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: in football, what it's about offense, defense.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: And special special teams.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: The same could be said in hockey, people, Yeah, same
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: could be said in hockey and special teams. That Blackhawks
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: are doing quite well as of lately. This is a
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: crazy little tidbit for you. I don't like it, but
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you anyway. The Blackhawks are
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: one of three teams where Seattle has never scored a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: power play goal on the road, oh for sixteen in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: their all their trips to the United Center. They're three
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and three. So this will be trip number seven to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the United Center in Chicago. In those previous six games,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Seattle oh for sixteen on the power play in that building.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Ooh oh for sixteen in that build. Now listen, player
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to change units, change coaching changes. But the Blackhawks have
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: killed seventeen of the last eighteen power plays against, so
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of numbers that just don't sound good
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Law of averages, the ind of something got to give
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: at some point, right, and that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Is what I was getting to. Indeed, this thing can change.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Flip of the switch, snapping the fingers, just like that.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: We'll switch things up. So we'll see what happens tonight.

  Speaker 1: he's done for the season, I heard today.
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that's kind of been like the whispered thought,

  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 36:39
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go with Diggs. It's at Cincinnati, and that's
• 36:42
  Speaker 11: just a great matchup that that game has a fifty
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: one and a half over under total, so it's the
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: highest on the board for expected points this week. And
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: the other one was Goddar and who was, Yeah, I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: gonna go Kelsey. You look at Dallas. They put a
• 36:58
  Speaker 11: lot of pressure on the quarterback. When that happens, that
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: usually helps out DeVonta Smith and A. J.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Brown are not so much Dallas, godd Her Andrews I
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: need you to punch up the two five three area code.

  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 11: I know I hate to remind people of my but
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: I feel the best about him still. Rashad White, seeing
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: we're seeing that little change to Sean Tucker. There maybe
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: a late chance Bucky Irving could play, but I don't
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: think so. But Sean Tucker has kind of taken over
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: control of that backfield a bit.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ricky, Yeah, Ricky, Ricky, thanks for the call. Happy
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and shout out to all the guys in Ricky's
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: league who are listening right now. And you guys can
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: feel free to call it as well. Appreciate you all right, Tess,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Ricky and Tacoma. Well, there's been a really uplifting segment
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: so far with fantasy football. Uh so let's just keep
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: that one going. Hi. Robin Bury, and how are you doing? Rob?
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: This is the best thing ever?
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: Wow, it's Robert.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Are you actually in playoff contention?
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: Not in last place?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Okaya? Oh god, okay, what you got Rob?
• 39:10
  Speaker 14: Okay?
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: Do I go back with Sammy or do I go
• 39:12
  Speaker 12: with Dak again? Yeah?
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: I have It's funny I have them back to back,
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: Dak ahead of Sam though. So Tennessee has been, you know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: adjusted points allowed, actually a pretty good secondary. So uh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go with with Dak Prescott.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, thanks Rob. That scared me for a second.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Fundston when he was all happy and giddy, but then
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: he's just all he's happy about is not getting whatever
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: the last place punishment is right now apparently, so all
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: is right in the world. All is right in the world.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Let's stay in Bury and Chris and Bury, and you're
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: up next with Funston.
• 39:46
  Speaker 15: Good afternoon, gentlemen and anders. If you want to just
• 39:51
  Speaker 15: delete my number after this, I'd like to remind you
• 39:53
  Speaker 15: that Christian McCaffrey hasn't missed the game this year.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thanks, thanks.
• 40:01
  Speaker 15: So I am down at tight ends, but I still
• 40:03
  Speaker 15: have Ferguson. Should I go with Ferguson or Colston Loveland?
• 40:09
  Speaker 11: I have Ferguson ranked higher. Philadelphia is one of the
• 40:11
  Speaker 11: toughest against the tight ends, but I still like Ferguson
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: in that role. Dallas will throw a decent amount, didn't
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: you know? Three four catches all you need sometimes form
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: a tight and I feel better about Ferguson than Loveland.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: All right, perfect, Thanks Chris. That opens up a line
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: two O six two A six ninety five ninety five.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: You can jump on that right now. As always, we
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: do the two step. The Sultan two step will start
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: first with Derek insultant Derek you're up next.
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: Up, guys, I'm not the only one who gets worried
• 40:42
  Speaker 16: when Rob is in a good mood.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: No, it's terrifying, really, it doesn't. It makes us all
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: feel really uneasy. We're not comfortable with it, and it's
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: it's kind of, frankly, a little bit a little bit scary.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, at least at least he's as funds
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and fire away. Are you being playoff contention? Oh? Hell no, okay,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: it's always right. Make me feel way better what you
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: got there.
• 41:06
  Speaker 16: I need two of these four and at least one
• 41:08
  Speaker 16: of them has to be a running back between Swift,
• 41:12
  Speaker 16: Canine Dobbs and Watson Christian Watson.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, can they both be running backs?
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: Because if that's the case, I would I would definitely,
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: uh yeah, I would lean in that direction. If you know,
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: Watson's third there, Dobbs as a risk injury. Watson's been
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: pretty good over the last three weeks, but I would
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: definitely want the touches and in overall, good matchup for Walker,
• 41:34
  Speaker 11: not a great matchup for Swift, but Swift's been pretty
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: good regardless of the matchup. So give me those two,
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: all right, thanks, Terry. They got to go back to
• 41:41
  Speaker 11: Swift after what happened last week? Don't they like that
• 41:44
  Speaker 11: was just weird? All that play calling with Dan Campbell? Fun,
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah that was odd? Well yeah, Dan Campbell, you mean
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: the Lions?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, obviously a different Swift, but yeah, yeah, I
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: mean that's just that that was just an absolute gong
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: show of a game. Yeah, absolutely, Steven insulted. Next up,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: what's up, Steven?
• 42:03
  Speaker 17: My injury list pis all your guys is? I have Daniels, Reports, Stroud, Evans, Hunter,
• 42:08
  Speaker 17: and Hampton.
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: All on my ir and bench.
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: Love it.
• 42:15
  Speaker 11: You made this counseling session here of injuries.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what it's just started into today. I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: feel you. What do you got, Steve?
• 42:22
  Speaker 17: I have trade and a quick question for you. My
• 42:25
  Speaker 17: trade is in my Dynasty Super Flex League. I am
• 42:29
  Speaker 17: in ninth place, so pretty much I'm out of the playoffs.
• 42:31
  Speaker 17: I have Burrows that's gonna be coming back, but I'm
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: gonna I'm looking to trade Mayfield. I got offered the
• 42:36
  Speaker 17: guys first and second overall pick firm which Mayfield was
• 42:40
  Speaker 17: my bench quarterback to start the season anyways, And then
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: for the next two weeks, would you go with either
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: Dart or Mayfield in my other league and things like
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: all these guys and have great holidays, thank you.
• 42:51
  Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely, we'll see if Dar ends up playing. He's
• 42:54
  Speaker 11: sort of limited practicing this week, so you're gonna end
• 42:57
  Speaker 11: up probably most likely having to go with Mayfield this week.
• 43:00
  Speaker 11: Love to you know, when Dart does come back, there's
• 43:02
  Speaker 11: a lot of talk about whether he's gonna runs with
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: the reckless abandon he did under Brian day Ball. So
• 43:09
  Speaker 11: we'll be se I would you know for the the
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: following week, if Dart is finally out there, I'd probably
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: still go to Mayfield just to wait and see. You know,
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: you can't guarantee it's gonna be running like that. And
• 43:18
  Speaker 11: that was more than half of his fantasy points was
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: on the ground, so if he takes some of that away,
• 43:23
  Speaker 11: he can drop down considerably on the fantasy rankings. As
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: far as your dynasty, So Jackson Dart is your second quarterback,
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: you know, if you're not gonna if you're not gonna
• 43:35
  Speaker 11: make the playoffs, first and the second for Mayfield seems
• 43:38
  Speaker 11: pretty fair. Hopefully the guy doesn't win the championship into
• 43:40
  Speaker 11: the last pick in the first round, but you know,
• 43:43
  Speaker 11: I think that's a fair offer for Mayfield.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: All right, there we go, all right? Uh co no, sorry,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Charlie in this squally, Charlie in this squally calling in Hi.
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: Charlie, Hey, how's it going, mat say?
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: Thanks?
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm bearing to hanging all with all these injuries
• 43:56
  Speaker 14: as well. I mean, one quarterback and one tight end
• 44:00
  Speaker 14: out of these choices, the quarterbacks are JJ McCarthy versus Flocko.
• 44:05
  Speaker 11: And let me just answer that really quickly. I'll just
• 44:09
  Speaker 11: tell you I go Flaco. The only thing that would
• 44:12
  Speaker 11: change that is Flocko might end up not playing. Joe
• 44:15
  Speaker 11: Burrow practiced in full and was practicing with the ones today,
• 44:19
  Speaker 11: so things are trending towards Burrow potentially making a comeback
• 44:23
  Speaker 11: this week. But if he does that, then you'd have
• 44:26
  Speaker 11: to go with McCarthy. Okay, perfect, one second, one yep.
• 44:30
  Speaker 14: Tight ends Hunter Henry versus Juan Johnson.
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely Hunter Henry Cincinnati gives up way more fancy
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: points to the tight end position than anybody else. They
• 44:41
  Speaker 11: are by far the worst, and so it's just as
• 44:43
  Speaker 11: good a matchup as you could ask for Henry for Henry,
• 44:46
  Speaker 11: All right, perfect.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you, I thank you. Charlie's got a couple more
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: in before we go to the text line. We did
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: have one bulls eye today, by the way, one absolute
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: poo bullseye on there. Kyle is in the claw down
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: there in beautiful enam scratch. What's going on? Kyle?
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: What's up guys to Thanksgiving?
• 45:03
  Speaker 14: For you guys next week?
• 45:05
  Speaker 12: You just a quick question?
• 45:08
  Speaker 13: Uh, I need a flex and I'm I'm going between
• 45:12
  Speaker 13: MANANDAI and but for our boot.
• 45:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, for for for New England. I do like him,
• 45:23
  Speaker 11: he's been out a little bit. I would probably, I
• 45:27
  Speaker 11: would probably lean his direction. Ultimately, pretty good, pretty good
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: matchup in Cincinnati. I've already talked about that one being
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: the highest thing on the board, so I would go.
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: But you just want to make sure. You just want
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: to make sure he ends up playing since he's been
• 45:41
  Speaker 11: a little bit of a health concern. But I think
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: he's gonna be okay, perfect.
• 45:45
  Speaker 12: Rank you guys.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks Kyle. Appreciate last phone call before we get to
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: all the texts, that'd be Keith in Olympia. You get
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the last call today. What's up Keith?
• 45:52
  Speaker 12: Yeah? Great? Hey, PPR League. I need to pick two
• 45:55
  Speaker 12: flex spots from these four. Emmanuel Wilson Kareem Hunt, Kenneth
• 46:00
  Speaker 12: Gainwell for Michael Wilson's.
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'm going to go with
• 46:06
  Speaker 11: the Wilson with the Wilson twins there, Manuel Wilson and
• 46:10
  Speaker 11: Michael Wilson triplets.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Wilson too.
• 46:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, watch out for Jack Josh Jacobs. You got to
• 46:21
  Speaker 11: follow that one. Let's just say that Josh Jacobs ends
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: up playing, then you just plug in Cream Hunt instead
• 46:26
  Speaker 11: of Emmanuel Wilson.
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: Okay, then hey, do I do Hurts your Mahomes for quarterbacks?
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: I have Hurts like two spots ahead of Mahomes, so
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: they're both top five ish for me this week.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: All right, beautiful, thank you sir, appreciate it. Let's get
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: to the text. Four nine four five one. I'll get
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the early ones, Andrews you can get the late ones.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: I got a bullseye. Andrews will get a couple of
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: those late ones in. But we we work from the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: bottom up. Bullseye right at one o'clock zero zero zero zero,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: need to please full PPR. Nico Collins, Christian Watson's, Devon Diggs,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Michael Wilson or Teed McMillan needs two of those in
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: a full PPR.
• 47:04
  Speaker 11: Man, I love three of those receivers. Definitely Nico and
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go with I think I heard Digs. I'm
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: gonna go Digs over Tet McMillan, but they're back to back. Yeah,
• 47:14
  Speaker 11: give me Digs and Collins be tough to sit. McMillan, though,
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: this is an interesting one, especially after last week.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Do I dare take out Josh Allen for Drake May
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: in a better matchup?
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: Drake May is my number one quarterback this week. I
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: dropped Josh Allen Allen's number four, But man, I don't
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: know why you're even sitting in that position. One of
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: those guys should have been gone a while ago, because
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: you just can't make the Drake Mayber's the Josh Allen decision.
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: Every week that's gonna come, especially after Josh Allen came
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: off one of the greatest Fantasy QB efforts of all time.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: And he didn't mention it. Yeah, he only had sixty points,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: especially like it's not a super flex league, Like if
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: you had super Flex, I'm like, okay, you know, a
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: good job. Yeah, that's doesn't He didn't he mentioned he
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: would mention another quarterback. You did half point PPR. We're
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: two seconds after the hour. Now, God, come on, people
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: will be better. Two seconds after half point PPR sit
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: one Gainwell Chooting Ramande thanks as always, he needs sit
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: one of those.
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go ahead and and sit tootin. It's close, Gainer.
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: I think Jaylon Warren is gonna play, and that that
• 48:20
  Speaker 11: has me thinking between Gainwell and Twoton's. If Warren doesn't play,
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: then you're definitely playing Gainwell.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: But I I'm.
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: Gonna sit Tooting at this point.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, half point PPR need one wide receiver, one running back,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: one flex Travon Walker, Travian Walker, Donsay, Jamison Diggs. Need
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: one wide receiver, one running back for a Flecker Donsay.
• 48:45
  Speaker 11: I'm throwing off Dunsay, Diggs, Kenneth Walker.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: So it's I think that point, yeah.
• 48:53
  Speaker 11: Henderson, Kenneth Walker, Roma, Duna Stefan.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: So he needs one running back and one running back,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: one running back, one wider. Won flext me that one, two, three,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: four five, you get rid of one of those guys, Okay,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: getting rid of one of them.
• 49:05
  Speaker 11: We're getting rid of We're getting rid of Kanain And
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: hate to say it, don't know this week, but Trevion
• 49:09
  Speaker 11: is the number two running back over the last three weeks,
• 49:11
  Speaker 11: and he's probably still gonna have a huge role against
• 49:13
  Speaker 11: Cincinnati this week, even with Ramondre Stevenson likely back.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Jamie from Allen over there hanging out in Chris Crawford
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Country for the flex. Need one Woody Marks, Breese Hall,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Christian Watson or Justin Jefferson.
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: Just one.
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna lean. I'm gonna lean Breece Hall. I want
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: to say Justin Jefferson, but man, JJ McCarthy has been rough.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Because Jamie says, I know, but JJ to JJ has
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: not been a thing. So yeah, he was kind of
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: thinking you were gonna say that. Need a quarterback full PPR.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I'm on the struggle bus this week. Who isn't Tyler
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Shuck Young, Lawrence Burrow? Need one full point PPR.
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: For Joe Burrow plays I'm playing Joe Burrow. If he doesn't,
• 49:55
  Speaker 11: who do you go with? Yeah, I'm gonna go with
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: Trevor Lawrence, but yeah, Bryce Young, then Bryce Young, then
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: Tyler Shucks. So they're all kind of lumped together, the
• 50:02
  Speaker 11: Lawrence through Shuck.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, I need to please full PPR.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Nico Collins Christian Watson, Stefan Diggs, Michael Wilson, or I
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: think we already answered that. Yeah, I think we had
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: that one ones guys, Uh, nine seconds after I have two.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: If you can't full PPR Golf or love.
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: I love Jared Goff this week against the Giants, I
• 50:23
  Speaker 11: have him one fifth.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Overall Judkins or a Doonsay.
• 50:29
  Speaker 11: Uh, you know what, I'm gonna take a gamble on
• 50:31
  Speaker 11: a Doonsday man coverage. Steelers play a lot of it.
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: Doonesday is usually the guy they go to in that situation.
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: So he's done really well in that spot.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna rebound this week Gainwell or Pacheco.
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: And I'm gonna go gain Well regardless. I don't even
• 50:49
  Speaker 11: know if Checko is gonna play. It looks like he's
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: kind of trending towards a questionable tag. But give me
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: Gainwell regardless.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: One more before I handed to Andrews half point BPR,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson or aj or bar I'm gonna I'm.
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: Gonna go Barner, WHOA yeah, let's go yeah. Most I mean,
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: the industry is down on t. J.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Hawkinson as well.
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: Everybody's kind of just sinking with the McCarthy era in place.
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: Right now, Hawkinson's like outside the top twenty and consensus
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: rankings this week at tight end?
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Andrews fire away. You get the final few,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford or Jackson Dark.
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: You know, I think I'm gonna probably regardless of whether
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: Burrow comes back or not, I think i'd still have
• 51:29
  Speaker 11: Stafford higher.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, need to here.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: I need a Doonsay, a lave, Alec Pierce or cad Aughton.
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: Yep, I'm gonna go with the first two, A Dunsay and.
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: A lave Okay, full PPR. Need one. Okay, that was funny.
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: Never mind, it's not an actual fantasy football question. We'll
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: get that at the end. Scott Scott Scott from Hilo,
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: Hawaii or Heilo, Hawaii, Jackson Dark or Brock Purty full
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: PPR again.
• 51:55
  Speaker 11: I think I'm gonna go Purty whether Dark plays or not.
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, sit one. Javonte Williams, ken Walker, Emmanuel Wilson.
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: Well, if Jacobs plays, it makes it easy. If let's
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: say Jacobs doesn't play, I'm gonna probably still sit Emmanuel Wilson.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: All Right, I need two of three Tyrone, Tracy, Devin Singletary,
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: Nick Chubb.
• 52:18
  Speaker 11: Tracy Singletary or Chubb and.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: Sit in how many ned two of three?
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Um?
• 52:25
  Speaker 11: Funny, I have both, I have both The Giants ahead
• 52:27
  Speaker 11: of Nick Chubb been phased out almost completely.
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, touchdown only Rogers or Brissette.
• 52:35
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go with Jacoby Brissett, who has been the
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: number two quarterback over the last three weeks. Not a
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: bad matchup against Jacksonville this week.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: You sit one Javonte, We did that one Boot or
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: Watson half hepr or Christian Watson.
• 52:50
  Speaker 11: I got I got but ahead of Watson. But again,
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: check the health on both of those guys.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: Dak or Kayleb Williams or do I dare picking up
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: the dreaded Party I have?
• 53:01
  Speaker 11: I have pretty one spot ahead of Caleb Williams that
• 53:03
  Speaker 11: actually would would want to. I think there's like a
• 53:06
  Speaker 11: tear gap there. I really like Party. I've I've kind
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: of moved Williams up pretty high. Like the matchup, but
• 53:11
  Speaker 11: I just feel way better about Party. So if you
• 53:14
  Speaker 11: can do that, I would do that all right.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: And here's the funny one from the four two five
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: full PPR need one Polanco Regino.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 53:26
  Speaker 11: Wow. You know what the perfect thing would be is
• 53:29
  Speaker 11: if we can keep Polanco but infuse Gino's attitude into him.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: I know, but I think if I'm doing it, I'm
• 53:37
  Speaker 11: I'm saving a little money keeping Polanco on getting somebody
• 53:40
  Speaker 11: who can make some contact at.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: Their base with the baseball knowledge he does.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: He does fantasy baseball. Okay, great, great, yeah's as I
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: watch a lot, I watch a lot of Mariners. Let's go,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: it's got to be Polanco. I don't even know if
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: that's really that much of a question. Is it really?
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Come on, now, we could do better than that if
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: we're going to fire one of those. Can you play advice?
• 54:01
  Speaker 11: What's the time we talked about?
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly funded Thanksgiving dinner? Do you eat it
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: before two o'clock or after four o'clock? We we usually
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: eat it at two.
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: And I just saw Martha Stewart said that's the perfect time.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: To serve thinks she's wrong. She's wrong, it's wrong.
• 54:19
  Speaker 11: You gotta you gotta leave time for seconds later. And
• 54:22
  Speaker 11: you also you need to have a little bit of
• 54:24
  Speaker 11: nap time.

  Speaker 1: love rob Man. Rob is one of those like and
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I you know, people, what
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: are you thankful for this year? One of the things
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: on this show, in addition to you two obviously, just listeners,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: like those guys that we get on every week for
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: fantasy football. Like we've been doing it for got a
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: decade or so, maybe more with Funston, probably like close
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: to like twelve years. We've been doing it with Funston
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: because he was with Yahoo at first. Yeah, a couple
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: of different companies we've been doing for a while. And
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: like Mike and Edmunds, And you've met Mike up there
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: at Edmunds Chain.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: I went on a fall walk together.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Next time, if you see him again, I got to
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: ask him how long he's been calling in, because I
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: think he's been calling in since the start. Same with
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Rob Ricky. Those guys have been calling in since the
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: start of this thing. It's crazy, and they've become characters.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: And we love him uh for that as well, and
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Uh and all the guys assaulting two steps and everything,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: and those guys are just a ton of fun. But yeah,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: when Rob comes calls in all giddy, even though he's
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: he's having a bad season, but he's not in the
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: last that's a that's that's a classic Rob and Buren.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: When it's all said and done, there were a few
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: people that text in, and we'll get more on this
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: when we have some more time, you know, football season.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: It's shorter show, kind of hard to get to a
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: ton of good topics in there, but we did have
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: a few people reach out. I see you with the
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: zero eight eight phone number and the one five to
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: two phone number talking about the Mariners and and the
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: cost for it and everything else, and yeah, listen, and
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want a gloss over the fact twenty five
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: bucks a month is that's a lot for a lot
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: of people, you know, and fifty is maybe out of
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: the question for a lot of people. We do live
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: in a very influential, pretty well by by American standards.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Our city, our area is pretty okay in terms of income.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, there's a lot of people that you're
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: just trying to make ends meet. You're just trying to play,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: you know, pay rent, You're just trying to get by,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: make that car payment. And you know, I think there
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: is something about being cognizant as a sports franchise of
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: not just putting everything behind a paywall and we we
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: talked about it all the time with the MLS, right
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: with what they did, and yes, they finally have seen
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: the light. They're getting out of that and they're going
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: to do that. You know, major League Baseball, I don't.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: I don't believe major League Baseball in a lot of
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: markets is in the position to go behind a paywall
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: and ask for more and more money. I think you're
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: very much in the line of where the NHL is,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: and it's a very regional in a lot of ways,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: and you need to make as accessible and inexpensive as
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: you can for as many people. You know, the over
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: the air slash streaming model is the way to go.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna go over the air. It
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like with the Mariners. So luckily they're coming
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: off a good year, so they'll they'll get a lot
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: of people. But yeah, I see you. I saw a
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: bunch of texts coming in and I can certainly relate
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: to that. We all know what it's like to just
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: try to get by a month to month and another
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: twenty five or fifty bucks might make it hard. So okay,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. Factor fiction, where's that to go?
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand price. It's
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
• 59:44

• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: your vote counted. If it's not, that's a you problem,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: that's not enough problem. But again, you will not get
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: a bounce back if you spell it correctly.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: And that has nothing to do with us.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: And then how we set it up the system that
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: were there's an outage. They're trying to figure out what's
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: going on. So texts coming from our station back to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: you are not working right now.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: So trust trust me when I say this. It is
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: not Andrew's favorite thing right now.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: It's very much not.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: No, it is not, and your votes are counted.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, I just want to share
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: everyone that even if you're texting in during the window
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: and making sure if you spell it correctly, like Ian said,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: you are still getting counted towards the contest.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: So you know your predecessor that did this, he would
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: just finish with a heavy sigh. There you go, well done. Okay, Jess,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: what do you got?
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: What you got?
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: I am going to take the Bengals plus six and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: a half.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: And now I'll tell you why again.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: That's Bengals hosting the Patriots plus six and a half
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: in light of recent events as discussed by one Brendon
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Funston in the previous segments, with Joe Burrow looking like
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: he's a full go, full participation in practice today, I
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: think that is too wide of a margin, especially because
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: the Bengals have home field advantage. So I give him
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: another three on that and that is one hundred Bengals
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: plus six and a half.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna smoke them.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: WHOA WHOA.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, it's let's remember Jess is a fan of
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: the who.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Not the Patriots.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, a little bit of heartstrings, right, It's like a
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Seahawks fan betting against the forty nine. Okay, the pick
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: once again.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Is the Bengal plus six and a half at home
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: as they host the Patriots this Sunday at ten am.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Because it does, indeed sound like Joe Burrow is going
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: to come back and playing that game. So that lines
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: that if that like we keep getting I have to yeah,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: well no, I mean if we like tomorrow, like when
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: we cut the final injury week, right and it says Burrow,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: you know, no injury designation, and if he's a full
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: participant participant again today then he probably won't have an
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: injury designation, that line is going to change.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: I believe. So that's why I like to get in.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Now, we'll get.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Home home, let's go.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: I know the probably the only the only downside Jamar
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Chase is pry. That's a bad man. He's a bad man.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: I had him last year.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: That uh, he's you spin on the guy you got
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: to sit out. He's lucky he's only one game. But
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow makes it a pretty significant difference.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: That is quite a line.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, man, am I buying the Patriots
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: buying the No?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's full gold right there.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm fighting quite by the Patriots.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: Drake May as Brandon Funston's number one overall.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Quarterback this week because.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the Bengals defense sucks.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: By Bengals defense, I should say, yeah, it's I think
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: that's what we're looking at, not looking We're not looking
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: at l Well.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: They scraped by the Falcons.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: They beat the Jets by two scores, which the.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I can admit things.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: They barely beat the Bells and you know that all
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: of their opponents have not really been formidable this entire season,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: so drag.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: That's why Rak Drake.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: May things interesting because I mean he keeps getting thrown
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: out there as an MVP candidate, and you know, twenty touchdowns,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: five interceptions jumps off the page. The season they're having
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: obviously is up there as well. He's going a one
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: to thirteen passer rating at seventy three point two quarterback
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: ratings are both outstanding. He hasn't thrown for three hundred
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: yards in a game yet this year.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: Needed to, that's a good point, I need to. I mean,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: there's the record makes them look really good. It's what
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, I don't think they're Yeah, and.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: The NFL quarterback not throwing through three hundred yards in
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: a game all see if that goes on all season?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Are you really an MPP? I don't know. I think
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a magical number. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I am wrong. I'm wrong about a lot
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: of things. I'm sure I'm wrong about that. But it
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: just it just feels like there's more dominant players than him. Yes,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: I guess is how I would put it. But all right,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: well I like to pick Jess. Well done, Thank you,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: one more, one more time for everybody.

• 1:05:03
  Speaker 19: Yes, Connor Bernard related to Eric Bdard And do you
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 19: think he'll play half the game like his dad used to?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: No, they're not related because Connor plays the full sixty minutes.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: He does. He he doesn't say, you know what, I've
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: had twelve shifts already today, and yeah, I think I've done.
• 1:05:19

• 1:05:40
  Speaker 19: when he made the Final four, right, Hell.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: It's is it hard to win twelve games? Eleven games,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: ten games every year? It's hard? I think it's hard. Yeah,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Eric Bedard, God, what a what a salty salty son
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 19: Well, that's the thing is he was kind of you know,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 19: he wasn't really a bulldog, and you know, and then
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 19: he was kind of a prick on top.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Of that, so he what. I don't know if you
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: remember this. I remember I remember sitting in the studio,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: the old three fifty one Elliott Studios doing.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 10: I forgot about that place, the one.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: To three show. I think it was or twelve to three,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: whatever would have been then, and their opening day was
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: was him. He was the opening starter, was a day game,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: and we're watching on TV and I look over and
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: they introduce him, and I'll never forget this. I'm looking
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: over there, all right, Eric Matard, you know this, This
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: is kind of the guy, right, he was supposed to
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: put him over the top. And he gets to start
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: over Felix in the in the in the opener, and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: they introduced him and he just doesn't even acknowledge anybody, like,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't tip his cap, does nothing, and like, well,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: this is off to a rousing start. I don't think
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: it got better, Dave.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 10: Remember who they traded for him for.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, an All star center fielder, Adam Jones. Yeah,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: who needed that guy? Who needed that guy for the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: next time? Pretty good? Yeah, he did, fact, very good guy.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 10: I was thinking about.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 19: I was going back to the other day, just tinking
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 19: around with some numbers.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's dangerous, that's really dangerous.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 19: Well, what was the year where they were led in
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 19: RBIs by Franklin Goody era and he got like seventy
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 19: remember that, probably before your time.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 10: Anders. I'm not sure if you remember those yeah days.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: No, but but Dave, he played great defense, Old frank.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 19: He did Death to Flying Things, Death the Flying Things. Yeah,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 19: it was in two thousand and seven.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Got what year was that was? Was it?

  Speaker 19: Well, I know that I know that Jose Lopez made
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 19: the All Star Game because of one good half, yes,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 19: and then he stunk the rest.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 8: Of the way.

• 1:08:02
  Speaker 19: ribies the twenty ten.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Would you bring up Jose Lopez? I think back to
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: the the when we used to do the old thing
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: called the Baseball's Best Postgame Show until we rerought it,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: brought it back this year, and I would unsponsored postgame show, yes,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: and I would do it on occasion at Jimmy's I
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: was kind of the filling guy. I was kind of
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: like the bullpen guy Tappy and nobody else can make it.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I'd fill in and Bucky, would you know Bucky Jacobson.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: That's when we first started using Bucky. And if you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: said anything or any bays say anything negative about Jose Lopez,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I swear he's ready to fight you. Like that was
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: his boy, Like that was yeah, he loved himself some
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Jose Lopez. That was his buddy.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 19: Bucky seems to me to be the kind of guy
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 19: that was born ready to fight.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 10: And then yeah, yeah, I want to fight him.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Well, he's from he's from Hermiston.
