10-6 H1: What's On Tap, Bad Week For NFL Officials & Empty The Notebook · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, great morning to you. Welcome into the radio program.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: That is Chuck in the Morning, Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: My name is Chuck. Really? Crazy? What a crazy coincidence.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: name a show that, and then hire a guy called that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: That is pretty coincidental.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Weird, right? Yeah.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I've always felt that way, ever since the start.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they hired you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably. I was just the most qualified Chuck out there.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Great to have you with us here on this Tuesday.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: My name is Chuck Powell. We've got Anders Hurst here.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We've got Christopher Kidd back with you here on this
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. Ah, yes, Chris Kidd, who worked a whole
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: four days on the show and needed a day off yesterday.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: To go run, to go show off how fast and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: durable he is. He went and ran a 5K yesterday.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Have you ever ran a 5K before, Andrews?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I used to run cross country all the time. Oh, yeah.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: What is a normal cross country race?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's a 5K.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. How did it go?
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Let's just say things didn't go my way, so I
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: ended up supporting my wife who ran a 10K.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And she did very well.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she did really well.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: What did you like, cramp up in the morning?
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: No, just registration crap. Just the fun stuff that has
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with getting out there.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: That sucks. It's all good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I am confirmed for the next one, December 20th, one
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: day before my wife's birthday.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So you took off a day for the 5K and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: didn't even run the 5K?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: We'll just leave it at that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: We're going to have to do some paperwork on that. Yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I've got to figure it out.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: We need some investigation.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We've got to get to the bottom.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: But my wife did fabulous. It was her first 10K,
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: and she did really well. So good for her.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of her.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: And she's like, I don't know if I'm going to
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: do another one for next year, but I'll definitely prepare
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: more than I have for this one.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Did you have to baby her when she got home? No,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: but I could tell she was cooked. Yeah?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I could just.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: What about this morning? Or did you get up... Do
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you get up so early now you couldn't even check
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on her?
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: So, the fun thing is, she actually starts very early
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So, we were up at the same time.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: She works at the airport as a manager. So, yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we were up at... Is she feeling all right? She's 100% now. Really?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But the next day, that... What was it? Sunday?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yesterday? Oh, boy. Okay.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, I just... That was tough.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: But she did really well.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, good for her. Look at that. So,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: no marathon? No marathon. Not taking it to the next step?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was wondering.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That will be.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: So I have a calendar of how I want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: do this. I want to do an elite sprinter's thing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: So basically it's lifting weights and running and all this
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: other crap that you probably don't want to do when
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: you're running. But my friend was like, oh, we should
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: do it, Chris. It's like the elite... I think it's
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: called the elite sprint or something to that magnitude. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I need a year. Because I don't know
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: if I want to be prepared to carry a 40-pound rock,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: crawl under barbed wire, climb a rope... and then run
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: a 5K, and then after that do more weightlifting stuff.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if I'm built for that. Like
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the Ironman. It's similar to that, yes. I think it's called.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Elite Ironman or something. He's like, oh, Chris, you've got
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: to sign up for it. I'm like, yeah, buddy, I
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: need a year. And then you asked me about a marathon, Chuck.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I need to do a 10K first. So I'm pretty
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: good at the 5K.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Well, you've got to fill out paperwork first. You've got
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to get that done. Then a 5K.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Step one. Then a 10K. Yes, thank you, sir.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And then we'll think about an Ironman. Or a marathon.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The thing about it is, though, that once you get
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the bug, I mean, you know, I would say don't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: do a marathon. That would be my advice because you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have to go all in on it to prepare for it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But then the people that go all in on it,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it consumes their every thought.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's addicting.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, even if you don't get addicted to pull
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it off, like it consumes your everything. I mean, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: had a girl on my show a few years ago
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and it was, that's all she thought about. It's all
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: she wanted to talk about. I did a sports or
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: not a sports talk. We did a talk show. Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And all she, everything on her mind came back to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the marathon and she would go home and she would
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: train and then she would, the way she would eat.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And then she always had stories about where she peed
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on the side of the road while she was training.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And then sometimes it was more than that. Okay. Like
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: everybody's got those stories. And then I stepped it up
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a notch. I actually dated a triathlete for a while
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and my gosh, shut up, shut up. I want to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: know what you ate to prepare for your swim and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: then how your swim went again this morning. And you're
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: so tired because you're doing it to yourself.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I think people that do these things, A, like you said,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: love to talk about it. But B, also love for
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: you to feel sympathy for them that they're putting themselves
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: through this much pain, even though they're doing it to themselves.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Thousand percent. Yes. And it's a really admirable thing to do. Yes,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: of course. I mean, and good for her. I mean,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: she didn't just do it one time. She did it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: all the time. Right. But it was like, is this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: all you can talk about? I mean, can we discuss
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: maybe a movie? Hell, I'll talk politics or religion with you,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: which is something you normally don't bring up, right? Let's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: just do anything.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Anything else.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To not talk about the protein that you ate today.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: What your BMI is at this point in time.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: To get you ready for your bike ride practice. So anyway,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I would say, kid, just do it. I mean, you've
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: got the... trait to always be in shape.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah. I mean, five Ks, maybe you go 10.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Don't go any further than that. Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I don't, you won't, you won't hear me. Hey guys,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: he had a week off. I'll be training for my
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: marathon in London.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get to the point even on
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: this show where we're like, how about that? Back-to-back Superbowls
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks kid. What'd you think of that game
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: last night? Is that not incredible? Oh, man, I'm so tired.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't even watch the game. I swam yesterday. You know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it's swim day. It's swim Sunday.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Well, stereotype here, Chuck. I can't swim, so it's okay.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I will never be in there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So if you have another joke about me running, I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: got you. But me swimming, no.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It was bike riding Sunday. I couldn't, you know, can't
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sacrifice that. I got to get ready to train. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I blew off the Super Bowl this year. No big deal.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But good news is I had plenty of protein to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: cover me on the ride.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I got my satisfaction for the day.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure it's very rewarding, too. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: had three cans of tuna straight out of the can.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Didn't put any stuff on it or anything.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And then power down 13 protein shakes. Oh, man.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys. Yeah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Just don't become that. No, no, you don't do that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying I don't want you to get there. Even
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: if I did, I probably won't even talk about it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'll just come in and just, you know. How was
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: your weekend, Chris? You're not going to get there. I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: not going to let you get there. Yeah. I'm going
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to let you be fit. I'm going to let you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: do things that are achievable, like 5Ks and 10Ks.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: 5K' s great, yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And then I'm going to cut you off. I'm not
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: going to allow you to do it. There's got to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be a clause in your contract somewhere where I can
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: prohibit you from doing it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Totally agree. I'm down for that. Purple sheet, please don't listen.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I love that Andrews is completely on board. Yes.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Well, great morning to you all. Let's talk some Seahawks
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: running backs because that's going to be our big story
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: here today. Greg Bell's going to join us at 7.05.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: We'll get the latest from him today. But yesterday, kind
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of an interesting day, more than an interesting day for
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the Hawks. Obviously, Jadarian Price is on the IR, so
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: he's going to miss at least three more games, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they're being kind of cryptic about their description of this thing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, for John Schneider to have done an interview
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and say, well, it's not like it's season-ending or anything. Yeah. Wow,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: nobody was thinking that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now that you say it, it pops into my mind.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but now that you say it, I mean, how
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: long are we talking about here? Okay, that was a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: long season. There were, at the time, 14 games remaining
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: when he said that. Nobody was thinking season-ending injury until
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you put it in our heads. And then we watch
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a game where Rashid Shaheed is highlighted. He got a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: couple carries. They were successful. And then that makes you think, like, oh, okay, well,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he can be a part of this equation until, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: we got Zach Charbonnet coming back this week. No, no, no,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: we don't. Because Mike McDonald made it clear yesterday that
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he won't play against the 49ers. So he has the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: 21-day window. So obviously he's going to play soon, but
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he's not going to be ready by this Sunday against
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the 49ers in the biggest game of the year so far.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know, Emmanuel Wilson has done a nice job. Under
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the circumstances, but as you pointed out, where's that burst?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Where's that burst to the edge? Is that going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: take some elements out of your playbook if you can't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: trust him to get to the edge? If you can't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: trust him to run off tackle because he just doesn't
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: have the juice for that? And so the organization yesterday
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: makes a couple of moves. They're going to sign Joe Mixon.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So brought him in, worked him out a little bit,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and all signs point toward that's pretty much a done deal.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: The veteran running back. And then they also signed a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: guy by the name of Robert Henry Jr. off of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the commander's practice squad, who a lot of people seem
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to kind of under the radar like. So they've certainly
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: added to the running back room, Anders. It speaks to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the state of the running back room. And I don't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: know if it solves anything other than they have a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: couple more options for one. depth and number two, to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: find the running back that can do all the things
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that they wanted Jadarian Price to do in his absence.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's just more bodies, right? And
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: more guys that have at least had some sort of
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: track record of success in the NFL. And the last
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: time Joe Mixon played was 2024. So it's been Over
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: two years, almost two years at this point. So how
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: long it would take him to get into game shape,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know. What he will even look like once
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: he gets into game shape, I don't know. Those are
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: all going to be big question marks, but they're obviously
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: desperate enough to need to go get someone else that
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: literally was lying on the scrap heap that anyone could
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: pick up, but the Seahawks were instantly... I'm kind of
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: feeling like they needed to do that with the whole
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Emmanuel Wilson thing. Look, I know it's a popular opinion
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: to just say, oh, he looks so much better than
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Jadarian Price because he's big and he breaks tackles.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: No, I know.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: But it's for whatever reason, that's the that's the popular
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: take so far. And it's like, oh, he's an upgrade
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: on our first round pick. He's averaging under four yards
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: per carry, guys. It's not like he's. just flying off
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: the sheet, flying off the page, I should say. Yes,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: they're giving him opportunities, and he's doing fine as your
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: third string running back, but with your first two guys
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: being out, he's performing admirably, but it's not like you
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: can rely on this guy for the rest of this
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: year as your number one guy.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Well, we have seen him play basically three games where
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: he's carried a lot of the load, and he's been effective.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: In two of those three games, completely ineffective in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: rain in Washington, which may speak to something about his
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: ability to handle conditions. But he was effective within Emmanuel
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Wilson's talent range. If nothing else, you can get by
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: with a running back that just can move the pile
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: three and a half yards at a time. running up
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the middle and he never fumbles. You can get by
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: with that. It's not ideal, but you, you can much,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: much rather get by with that than the guy that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: can hit the edge for two, 10 plus yard, 10, two,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: 10 plus yard carries a game, but you can't trust
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to hold onto the ball and you can't trust to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: get a tough yard. Yeah. No. So Emmanuel Wilson may
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: give you that sort of blanket of security. Um, But
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it's not something that, you know, there are blankets that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you throw on like if you're stuck on a ditch. Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to just keep warm in the winter. And then there
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: are blankets that you cozy up with at home when
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you read a book or watch a movie and you
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: want the window open. Right. You know, and you want
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to cope a cocoa, you know, like when you're feeling
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: good about yourself, he ain't that blanket. Right. He's that blanket. Like, okay,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: in case of emergency, so we don't get frostbite.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I need to survive.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: We can cover up with Emmanuel Wilson. Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, but, but it's nice to have him. Yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of course. And I think he has done a, Fine
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: job so far. But certainly, as you pointed out, you're
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: missing an element of running back. And we're always going
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to have this Ken Walker shadow looming over us as
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: long as he carries the ball for 175 yards every
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: game is achieved.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Two touchdowns each game.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What are we doing? So there's certainly this deer-in-the-headlights
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: kind of look with Mike McDonald when he talks about this. Like,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh. How are we going to piece together
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: from cadaver parts of various running backs, a running game
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that can do the things that we could have done
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: with Ken Walker alone.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, there is, there's got to be that feeling
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in the pit of both he and John's stomach right now,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: seeing Ken Walker, who just said over and over, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: want to do everything. Why do I have to ever
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: come out? I want to do everything. I can do everything.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And was never really given that opportunity to, And now
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he's doing it. Now, I think what they would say is,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: let's see if he can do it for 17 games.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see if he doesn't break down. His number of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: carries is just blowing away anything he's ever done before.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And so we'll see that to its end in Kansas City.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, you have a running back that
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: if you're signing Joe Mixon and a player off of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a scrap heap in the same day, it is a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: recognition of we've got an issue and we got to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: throw some things against the wall and hopefully one of
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: them sticks. Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I just wonder what, like how long, like you mentioned
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: at the top, how long were we expecting to have
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: to kind of piece things together with price? And no,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: obviously no Charbonnet this week. What's that going to look
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: like when they're all back? Is it going to be
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: a total committee where you have, you're switching out every
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: down or every drive? I don't, I don't even know
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: at this point. Obviously, you can't really look at that until,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: you know, all the injuries subside. But yeah, I mean,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: it's just becoming a little bit of a desperate situation
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: because Sam Donald's look pretty good in his couple games
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: since he's returned from injury. But the running game really
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: has not gotten going all year long. You had one
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: good game of it in Arizona and that's about it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: And I think that it isn't a coincidence that that's
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: probably your best, most complete game of the season. So
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: they need to figure this out and soon because it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: a big part of what they do offensively and as
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: a team completely.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then there's Joe Mixon himself, which is a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: bit of an odd story. 30 years old. His last
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: full season was maybe the second most productive of his
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: NFL career. I mean, I thought when he went to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Houston that he was one of those type running backs
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that couldn't afford to lose a step. I mean, he's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a big guy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was 228 at the Combine. I mean,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: he's a big running back. And he also ran a 4-4-5-40.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And the only reason that he slipped from the first
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: round into the second round was because of the off-field
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: incident that he carried with him into the interview process
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that occurred way back when he was 18 years old
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and a freshman at Oklahoma. So... I mean, he would
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: have been like a first... He was a first-round talent
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: coming out of college. So fast and big. 228. And yet,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: he looked to me much like an Eddie George. Like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: if you lose that half-step, some guys can get away
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: with it. You know, Christian McCaffrey's probably lost a half-step.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But he can get away with it. Maybe he's not
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: this year. We'll find out on Sunday. But I've always
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: felt he was that candidate. So... it looked like he
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: was cooked in Cincinnati. Houston took a chance on him
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and he was very productive. He was very good. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I was sitting there watching Joe Mixon play. I'm like,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I was wrong about him. He can still play a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, he wasn't elite. I don't know
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: if he was ever elite in the National Football League,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: but thought he could play a little bit. And then
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: this past year, he didn't play at all. He had
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a foot injury that Anybody that played fantasy or anybody
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that follows the national football, they just thought, okay, well,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: he'll be out for a few weeks, and it ended
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: up being the entire season. To the point where his
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: coaches were asked about it throughout the year, and they
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: just said, all I can tell you is it's a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: freak injury. Nobody knows when it's going to be back.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And so there was some mystery surrounding it. And then,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of course, on top of it all, that incident he
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: had at Oklahoma wasn't his only off-field incident that he had.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: So it's a mixed bag with Joe Mixon. And you
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: can't spell Mixon without Mix, as it turns out. It's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a really mixed bag. But this organization shows once again
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: we don't care about anything but winning, which is a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: conversation for another day. But that's what they care about.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And they needed a body. And they needed some potential.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And Joe Mixon, I would say this, even though he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: 30 years old and two years removed from playing regularly
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and had a mysterious foot injury last year, and I'm
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: not sure if you ever want him to be your brother-in-law,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: but maybe that year away actually did something for the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: entire engine.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: To sit out for basically a year and a half
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and not take any abuse. Maybe it freshened him up.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Or maybe that engine rusted.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Or maybe that engine rusted. Yeah, you're right. So it's interesting.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see. And then, of course, you have
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline as well, where if this doesn't get
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: solved by then, there's a reason John Schneider always leaves
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit of cap room.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And he makes a trade every single year at the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: trading deadline when this team is viable. And we all
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: expect it to be viable. So I don't think they're done.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Chadarian Price's shoulder
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: or chest, whatever it is. But they're going to keep
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: tweaking it until they find the solution. But right now,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: certainly it is the biggest concern facing the Seahawks this
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: early point at this early juncture of the 2026 season.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 19:21

  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if she's got the size.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: They can't sign Kidd because he's going to screw up
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: the paperwork.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That's right, yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: You didn't sign this form. You are not eligible this week.

• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a big game. We have to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: start it a little bit today. So we'll talk about
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that with Greg Bell as well at 7.05. Monday night football,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Oh, my goodness. What an ingredient. Michael
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Penix Jr. is added to that soup in Atlanta. The
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Falcons have been the best offensive team in the league
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks since Michael Penix came back. 45-24,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: they ran away with things against New Orleans on a
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: night where Saints fans wanted to celebrate. Instead, they got
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: bloodied by their chief rival, We'll play some fact or
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: fiction at 735 again today. We won yesterday. Yeah, we did.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The National Football League suspended two officials for conduct on
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the field on Sunday, so obviously we've got a lead
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: story to discuss with Gene Steratore at 8 o'clock. We'll
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: discuss it ourselves at 630 coming up. College football. Huskies
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: play on a Friday night at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel joins us today at 9 o'clock. It's also
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Bama-Georgia week this week in college football as well. Cracking
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: back in action. We know they can beat the Calgary
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Flames soundly. Can they beat anyone else? They'll take on
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the very good Las Vegas Golden Knights tonight at home.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Everett Fitzhugh joins us for his first official Tuesday segment
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of the brand-new hockey season today at 8.30. And the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball playoffs in the American League. Tampa went
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: up 2-0 on the Yankees yesterday. Yankees committed three errors
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and really four in the very first inning of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: game yesterday, and Tampa wins it going away. Meanwhile, the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox are one win away from advancing to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the American League Championship Series. Also, Cal and Josh Naylor
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: news yesterday. They're going to have surgeries. Josh on his
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: wrist and Cal on his shoulder. That's something we'll talk
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: about later in ABC's of the M's. But coming up next...
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Before Gene comes on to tell us what's what at
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: 8 o'clock, we need to have a discussion about these officials.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Hey, great morning to you all.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powell, Anders Hurst, and Chris Kidd. I'm going to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: say Anders gets the best dress today. Okay. Looks real
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: sharp over there.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. It's like the haircut you got last week
• 22:38

• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the right length right now. And you got the zip-up
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: situation going over there.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Patagonia?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Patagucci, as I like to call it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you look very preppy. Thank you. Yeah, very handsome today.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Chris. I didn't see what kid was wearing.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: What do you got back there? You got like a.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Track suit?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Probably. Oh, he's just got your classic Chris Kidd look.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Bomber jacket.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: You know, a little chilly this morning. Throw on some sweatpants,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: nice little white tee. You know, we chilling on this
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: morning show.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: We are on YouTube. We probably should get graded for
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: our looks and our outfits.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: We're in a suit tomorrow. Thanks a lot, Chuck.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I'll turn up the— I' m going to lose every day. Don't
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: worry about it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And he's going to try to lose every single day.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I might. If I start losing, I'm just going to
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: see how miserably I can lose.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Well, great morning to you all. We got the threesome
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: back together here this morning. We're going to empty the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: notebook later on this hour. But coming up later, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to this conversation. I know a
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: lot of you are as well. Gene Steratore is going
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to join us at eight o'clock. Not every radio station,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: not every city has Gene Steratore on a weekly basis
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that they can listen to. And man, a day like today,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've had a lot of people reach out.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: You got to ask Gene this. You got to ask
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Gene that. So we will certainly talk about what was
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a very interesting weekend for the National Football League officials. Now,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the headline, we had our own issues, both us and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. in our game on Sunday, but really the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: headline is that two officials were actually suspended yesterday for
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: their conduct. Jeff Seaman, uh, was suspended for saying F
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: U F U to Trey McBride on the sidelines. He
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: got caught on camera and apparently Trey McBride was not
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: being belligerent or anything. Uh, and then Adrian Hill, who's,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the lead officials, he's one of
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the guys that has the microphone, uh, We see him
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a lot, calls way too many penalties, he and his crew,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: but he got hit from behind and then practically got
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: up just like swinging haymakers. He was like furious that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: he got knocked to the ground It's going to happen
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, Adrian. But he was angry,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and the first person that he saw, he took it
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: out on, even though that wasn't the guilty party, Eric Wilson,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: who was actually trying to help him up at the time.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And so it was not a good look, and the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: NFL says, you guys got to be better than that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: We don't know how long they've been suspended, but both
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of them got suspended yesterday by the league for their conduct.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of a... something that you don't really
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: see a lot with the NFL. I know people can
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: complain about referees a lot with the calls they make,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: but rarely do you see like instances like this where
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: they become like more than just, Oh, that was a
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: bad call or, Oh, I disagree with how you referee
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: a game. It's like, Oh, you have some real issues
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: in terms of how you're dealing with these conflicts and
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: your relationship to players, which I'm sure we'll ask Gene,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: is so important. It's incredibly important. It's not a place
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: of authority. You're working together to try and put the
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: best product on the field. It's disappointing that it's come
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: to this, but it's the heavy hand. You said that
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: you don't see any games... for what they'll be out for.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I don't see it either. So I'm curious on how
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: long this is. I didn't know if this was a
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: rest of the season situation or if this was just a, okay.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: So Seaman gets two and Hill gets one. Okay. That's
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: what it was.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And, and so, yeah. And the, and the Seaman thing
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: looked worse on the air because he actually dropped the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: F bombs. But yeah, once I had time to like
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: read back through it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Two games for Seaman, one for Hill. If there's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: any defense for the officials, and maybe Gene Steratore is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: working on me, I don't know. Maybe I just like
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Gene so much.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: He's wearing off.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want him to hear me defend officials. But
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: do you have any idea how much officials get cursed at? Oh, yeah.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: And this isn't like a teacher in his third grade class.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: These are like grown men, and they take a lot
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of abuse. And to me... Every once in a while,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: there's some exchanges like that. I don't know if I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: have that huge of a problem with it. Now, I
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: do if McBride, in his situations, not really doing any...
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: If McBride was cursing at him, then I don't know
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: if I have a problem with an official saying, F you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think I have.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Just like, go sit down. Now, if the official.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Took it over the top, Then, yes. And it looked
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: like it did. Yeah. But the only thing I'm saying is,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: do you realize how much abuse that these guys take?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And it's with other adults who should also know better.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And so if every once in a while an official
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: said that, oh, F you, McBride. Yeah. You know, it's
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: just that it looked like he elevated the disagreement. And
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: his job is to calm the disagreement. Yeah. So I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: do believe with the two-game suspension— But, man, this turned
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: into such a thing on Sunday about how could he
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: act that way? Oh, I could very easily see how
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: an official could act that way.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that it's entirely appropriate that they
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: can get from one grown man to another grown man,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: get cursed out. And they might have actually made the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: right call, which rarely gets taken into consideration. And I'll
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: layer that over into the Seahawks game. I hated that game.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: 30 penalties? My gosh. To me, the worst official is
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the one that gets too involved in the game. That's
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the worst. Rex Ryan said this yesterday, apparently on ESPN.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: He said, the game of the national football league is
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: just about impossible to make bad. It's the best thing
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: we've got going in professional sports. Now he's a little biased,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: but he's, it's the best thing. And the game is
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: on such a high and so many people love it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: It's almost impossible to make the national football league unwatchable
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: unless you get a crew that over officiates. And I agree.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love football, but those are, the hardest
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: games to watch. And we had one of those on Sunday.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: But Dominic Foxworth, same network, said something today. Has anyone
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: ever given thought to maybe they did commit that many penalties?
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm like, well, yeah, you're kind of right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Cause we went through it. I mean, I thought the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Brady Russell thing was ridiculous. I don't think O'Toole Connor
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: O'Toole should have been flagged, but the other five 50,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mike McDonald said after the game, seven foul
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: penalty seven. I don't know if I've ever seen that. Well,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: even five would have been a dramatic number and we
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: had a legitimate five. Yes, we did. now if you
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: start by having a heavy hand as an official and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you're like we're gonna set the tone and then you
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: marry it with chippy play and play after the whistle
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and young players who love to celebrate and young players
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: who can't stand to be disrespected and So I'm going
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to go headbutt a guard. Okay, now that's the recipe,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: is it not?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously, these officials, Novak and his crew, and I never
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: want to see Novak again. I literally never want to
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: see you again, Novak. They obviously came in like, we're
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: going to call this thing close to the vest. And
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: then it got married with a game where the players
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: were careless and reckless and were trying to serve their
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: own self-interest rather than the team interest. And the result
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: of it was 30... penalties, 280 yards worth of penalties,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and it was a gross, ugly football game. And if
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the Seahawks, and I didn't have to talk
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: about them the next day, I would have turned it
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: off and watched something else.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, usually what happens when I watch a game, and
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: I try as hard as I can, I do this
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: in almost all sports, to really... take the side, not
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: take the side of the referees, but just try to
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: understand why they're calling something.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You should do that with every debate. Try to see
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: the side of the other person. Of course. And if
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you're not doing that, then you're not giving a fair
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: representation of the argument. Exactly.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: And, you know, some people just want to, you know,
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: be a Seahawks homer and complain at every call that
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: goes against Seahawks.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: That's fine. Fan however you want to fan. But for me,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: that's how I like to watch a game. It was
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: harder for me to... really get a grasp on it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Not because I disagreed with the calls, uh, with the
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: game and in the Seahawks over the weekend, but more like, God,
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: like there has to be a feel for how many people,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: if they were to watch this game, how many people
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: would be pointing out these personal fouls? If, No one
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: said anything, right? What effect does it actually have on
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: the play? So all the kickoff ones that you were
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: talking about, not just the personal fouls, but all the
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: weird kind of procedural stuff that I don't really fully
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: understand anyway, so I'll take that one aside.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Nobody understands the return game. There's a flag every other return.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Also, what's an illegal formation now? I don't even know.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I do know that, but Seahawks Chargers, there was
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: a flag, I think, on every special teams play because
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that was Novak wanting to get on television.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So who would be like, okay, if he didn't
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: throw a flag, oh, there was something, there was a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: block in the back there or whatever it is.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: See, that's kind of the rule I like to play
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: about with referees where, If you didn't call it, how
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: many people on both sides would be kind of like, oh,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: that should have been a foul.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: That should have been a call.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Rarely did I kind of come away thinking that that
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: was the case, besides maybe a couple of the personal
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: foul calls in the Seahawks.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean, I want you to call it
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: if it's there, but I don't ever want an officiating
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: crew in today's game to come in and we're going
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to set the tone.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I can't stand that because once you set the tone
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and then you get a chippy game, then what are
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: you going to do? Call the second half differently then?
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: As Gene always points out, I mean, everybody speeds on
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the road. But if you're a cop, you're not going
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to pull everybody over. You've got to figure out like
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: six miles per hour over the speed limit. You could
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: technically pull someone over, but are they driving recklessly? You
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: have to make those decisions. Same things with officials. And
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: if you come in, if you're sitting on the side
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of the road with your radar gun like, I'm going
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to nab everybody today, then we're going to have a
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: crappy game. And then if you end up getting a big,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: giant dose of speeders, you're not even going to enjoy
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: that day. You're going to spend your entire time writing
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: out tickets and doing paperwork later in the office. So
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I think they entered the game with a mindset. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: then it ended up being a very careless, reckless game
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: by the players. And you marry the two together and
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: you get 30 penalties and 280 yards and a mostly
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: unwatchable football game. And that's unfortunate. So we'll talk to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Gene about it at 8 o'clock. We're going to empty
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the notebook on that Seahawks game next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
